Walbridge celebrating 100 years

By Larry Limpf and Tammy Walro news@presspublications.com

Mayor recalls baseball days, swim club A native of Walbridge, Mayor Ed Kolanko describes the village as a close knit community that helped shape him into who he is today.

“I attended Walbridge Elementary School, St. Jerome Grade School, and Lake High School. As a youngster I played T-ball and baseball in Walbridge for more than 10 years and was coached by legends such as Tony Mass and Herb Minuto,” he said. “I spent many days and evenings at the Aqua Terrace swim club,” he said.

Kolanko said parents felt safe letting their children play in the village in those days – a sentiment that continues today.

He describes himself as “proud and humble” to represent the village as mayor during the centennial celebration.

Dabish fills Sheehy’s council seat

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Businessman Marvin Dabish took the oath of office Wednesday evening to fill the council seat of Oregon Councilman Mike Sheehy.

Sheehy vacated his seat to take the seat of former State Rep. Matt Szollosi.

Oregon Mayor Mike Seferian told The Press that he administered the oath of office to Dabish at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.

The city charter dictates the process of filling a vacant council seat. According to the city charter, the person who received the next highest amount of votes at the last council election gets to fill the seat. When all seven seats of council were up for election in 2011, Dabish finished eighth.

If Dabish had been unable to serve, according to the charter, then the person who finished with the next highest number of votes is appointed. If no one is available, then the vacancy is filled by a majority vote of council within 20 days of the vacancy.

After 20 days, the mayor has the sole authority to fill the position.

Dabish, of Haley Drive, had recently submitted petitions to the Lucas County Board of Elections to run for council by the June 12 deadline.

Sheehy, who also submitted petitions before he was appointed to fill Szollosi’s seat, joins incumbents Tom Susor and Sandy Bihn who will not be on the November ballot. Susor is running for mayor against Seferian, who is seeking a second term, and

said he was impressed by Pollauf’s dedication to the position, even though her time there was brief.

“She did her homework studying the issues and was very involved as a member of council,” he said.

“

I’ve known him to be a very kind, community minded guy.

“

The history of the Village of Walbridge predates its actual incorporation in 1913 by more than 70 years when settlers arrived in what was called the Great Black Swamp.

A woman heading the Walbridge Centennial Committee has a long history with the Wood County village. And though Darlene Limmer lives in the nearby City of Rossford, her ties to the village remain strong.

“My great- great-grandfather was one of the first six settlers there,” she said. “That’s why I got on the committee. I had just retired and wanted to do my family history so it was a perfect time to do that. My greatgrandfather had a grocery store (Sigler’s) in town. My grandfather worked for him and married the boss’s daughter. He bought the store and went into business for himself.

And then my dad took over the business.

“My roots are so Walbridge,” Limmer said. “I guess it’s that way with everybody.

Where you were born and raised will always be home to you.”

For her family history, Limmer interviewed her grandmother – then in her 80s – who spoke of life in a home without running water and electricity.

Wild card There is the possibility that another candidate could be put on the ballot if Sheehy submitted a “qualified petition” to the board, according to Seferian. A qualified petition allows a certified candidate to name a five person committee who could nominate someone else to the ballot in case their candidate is no longer running, as in Sheehy’s case.

Sheehy could not be reached for comment.

Seferian said Dabish has regularly attended council meetings for the last few years.

“I’ve known him to be a very kind, community minded guy,” said Seferian.

In addition to his narrow defeat for council in 2011, Dabish, 38, ran against former Mayor Marge Brown and Seferian in a primary for mayor in 2009, but was eliminated after coming in third place.

Dabish, who is also a grocer, has owned several sweepstakes cafes in Oregon, Toledo, Fremont, Fostoria, and Findlay, as well as in communities in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia.

In Internet “sweepstakes” cafes, patrons purchase pre-paid phone cards with Internet minutes to use for gaming on computer terminals.

Marvin Dabish

Bihn’s petitions were not submitted to the board of elections on time.

As a result, three new candidates will be elected to council this year. With Dabish taking Sheehy’s seat, that leaves candidates Kathy Pollauf and retired police officer Tim Zale to be elected to Susor’s and Bihn’s seats in November, since there are now only seven candidates running for council.

Incumbents Jerry Peach, James Seaman, Dennis Walendzak and Terry Reeves are running for re-election.

Pollauf, who has her own massage therapy business, ran unsuccessfully for council in 2007 and 2009. In 2011, she decided not to run. But in September of that year, Councilman Clint Wasserman vacated his seat to take a position with the Lucas County prosecutor’s office. As a result, Pollauf, as dictated by the city charter, filled the seat because she finished with the next highest vote in the previous election, though she was only allowed to serve for a few months until a new council was sworn in.

Northwood Volunteer Fire Department does a controlled burn on a house in Northwood. Northwood Fireman (Press photos by Harold Hamilton. hehphotos@smugmug.com

Illuminating experience in Northwood

By Harold Hamilton Special to The Press news@presspublications.com Did you ever watch a “controlled house burn?�

Most might think it starts with just a pile of straw and a flick of a match. Think again. A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of watching the Northwood Volunteer Fire Department do a controlled burn on a house in Northwood. The purpose was to assist in training new NVFD recruits, as well as those from Lake Township and the AllenClay Joint Fire District.

Trainers from these departments as well as from Perrysburg City Fire Department and the Toledo Refinery (old Sun Oil) Safety Department were on hand for the burn.

It all started when I noticed an old house on Curtice Road that had the aluminum siding removed up to about eight foot from the ground, by vandals. After doing some investigating, I found out that the house was scheduled for destruction via a controlled fire so that it could be used for training firefighters.

I found that getting the house ready for destruction was no easy task. The Northwood fire Department spent many hours “preparing it.� It seems they cannot just burn the house and let the smoke blow where it may. The EPA has guidelines and all of the hazardous materials, had to be removed. The house also had to be made safe for all of the firefighters. All windows were removed and replaced with sheets of plywood hinged to open outward incase an emergency escape were required. This also provided a means to change the fire by opening various windows to create unique drafts. All doors were re-hinged to open outward.

The game plan for the training was to start a small fire in one of the rooms of the house with the trainees present. They could watch how the fire climbs the wall and spreads with the fire and smoke eventually filling the room. After a certain amount of time, the flames would be extinguished and then the scenario repeated with a new group.

Fires were started in various areas of the house to simulate real life conditions.

The trainers opened some of the windows so I could see from a distance how the fire grew as well as to photograph it. One of the most interesting things I saw was the smoke and flames grow and move down from the ceiling, rapidly filling the room.

I was able to get a picture of this and it clearly shows the layers of fire and smoke.

Seeing this illustrates the saying that in a fire you should “stop, drop and roll.� Stop and drop to get down where the smoke and heat are reduced. The “roll� is what you do if you are on fire, as rolling will tend to smother the fire. Do not run if you are on

fire.

The fire suits are a combination of Kevlar, the tough material that is also used to make bulletproof vests and Nomex. The suits weigh about 70 pounds, dry. Add another 30 pounds for the air pack and then 20 pounds or so when the suit gets wet and you have a real load. This approximately 120-plus pounds presentwa real challenge just to move around with, let alone the effort needed to pull hoses, tear down doors and possibly even carry someone.

The suits hold out the heat for a period of time, but with constant exposure, they eventually absorb so much heat that the wearer must get away from the heat. The insulating properties of the suits are such that it takes considerable time for the suit to cool even after they leave a fire. It is usually recommended that each firefighter only be exposed to the fire for 10 minutes or less.

The bottles of compressed breathing air are theoretically good for 45 minutes under normal conditions but to assure safety, they usually only use about one third of what’s available. An air compressor refills the tanks at the scene with clean filtered air, as needed.

The uniforms have many safety devices attached. For example, they have a “Pass� alarm which sounds off after 30 seconds with no movement. The purpose is to alert firefighters that someone is down and may need help.

After the recruits were exposed to the various fire situations, it was finally time to let the entire house catch fire. Several small fires were started and within a few minutes there were roaring flames – much different than igniting a stick in a fire pit in the backyard or from burning brush.

A fire in an enclosed building generates enormous heat and quickly fills the building with deadly smoke. I was about 200-300 feet away, but I still could hardly stand the heat radiating on my bare arms.

If your house catches on fire and you get out safely but then remember you forgot something or someone, don’t go back in. In just a few seconds, the fire will likely have changed so much that you will not be able to survive the increased heat.

This illustrates why it is so important to have smoke alarms for early warning and several escape plans that are well known by everyone in the house.

It was an educational day for everyone.

Everything went smoothly and there were no injuries, burns or accidents.

Thanks to Joel Whitmore, Northwood’s Fire Chief, his assistants, his team and others from the surrounding areas. Thanks to all of the firefighters and trainers for their patience and time explaining various procedures and answering my questions.

A special thanks also to the Hirzel Canning Company for donating the house and allowing the fire department to use it for practice.

Drive sober

Americans love to celebrate the Fourth of July with family, friends, food and fireworks, but too often alcohol turns the party into a tragedy, making this iconic holiday one of the most deadly days of the year on the nation’s roads.

This Fourth of July, Lucas County is stepping up police presence throughout the region as part of the ongoing “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” enforcement crackdown to catch and arrest impaired drivers who put themselves and others at risk.

“Local police will be out in force throughout this Independence Day, on the lookout for motorists who have had too much alcohol to be behind the wheel of a vehicle,” said Det. Mark Woodruff, coordinator for the Lucas County OVI Task Force. “Police will have zero tolerance for drivers who choose to drink and drive this July 4th, putting themselves and everyone else on Lucas County roads at risk.”

The percentage of fatalities from impaired driving spike around the Fourth of July. According to NHTSA, 251 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes during the Fourth of July holiday in 2011 (which ran from 6 p.m., July 1, to 5:59 a.m., July 5.)

Of those fatalities, 38 percent were in crashes that involved at least one driver or motorcycle operator with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 grams per deciliter or higher.

Walbridge

A special 4th of July

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Village of Walbridge is throwing a party this year to observe its centennial and many events are planned to coincide with the July 4th holiday.

Much of the celebration will be at Loop Park where there will be food, entertainment, and displays of memorabilia July 4-6.

Darlene Limmer, president of the Walbridge Centennial Committee, said family scrapbooks and photos of the village’s earlier days are being compiled at the village library for the display.

A ceremony is planned for July 4 at noon in the park to commemorate the centennial as well as the crowning of “Miss Village of Walbridge” and a talent show.

Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9963 will hold a flag burning ceremony at the park at noon on the 4th.

On July 5, there will be more entertainment, rides, and vendors. There will be Karaoke in the afternoon and a performance by the band, Larry & The Ridgerunners, in the evening.

A parade on July 6 starts at 11 a.m. at the Walnut Hills Trailer Park and proceeds down Main Street then to Loop Park. Limmer said about 80 entrants have registered, including the Shriners, owners of vintage autos, and civic organizations with floats.

The Lake Township Volunteer Fire Department’s safety trailer and a LifeFlight helicopter will be at Loop Park on July 6, she said, and there will be children’s games, clowns, face painting, and other activities.

Larry & The Ridgerunners will also perform on the evening of the 6th.

The fire department will have a display at the shelter house depicting the department’s history, Limmer said, and there will also be a display by railroad memorabilia collectors.

Other events are being planned for later in the year.

On Aug. 10, a baseball game between a team sponsored by CSX and former players who played on the village’s successful Bears and Cubs youth teams will be held and a quilt show is being scheduled for Sept. 21 at the VFW Hall.

Memorial bricks are also being sold and organizers are planning for the burial of a time capsule in September, Limmer said.

The village was incorporated in 1913 and council held its first meeting in April of that year.

The current council held a special meeting on April 7 to mark the 100th anniversary of that event.

Tornado app The American Red Cross is working around the clock to help people in Oklahoma and throughout the Midwest in the aftermath of recent devastating tornadoes, just as volunteers did three years ago when a tornado ripped through Northwest Ohio.

A valuable tool in being prepared for tornado season is the new and American Red Cross Tornado App. Call **REDCROSS” (**73327677) from a mobile device to receive a text message with a link to download the app, or get it directly from the iTunes or Google Play app stores.

The Red Cross also encourages parents to have a conversation with their children about tornado safety, download the app to their child’s smart phone, and explore it together.

Information about tornado preparedness and severe weather safety is available at redcross.org/tornado.

To help those affected by disasters like tornadoes, floods and other crises, make a donation to American Red Cross Disaster Relief by visiting redcross.org, dialing 1-800-REDCROSS, or text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

Walbridge 100th being celebrated Continued from front page many others enjoyed was initiated by a group of 10 or so residents who formed a non-profit corporation and went to Rossford Savings Bank, which issued a note for $100,000.

The corporation sold stock at $200 a share.

“When we had at least 70 people pay in their share the bank said go ahead and start,” recalls Cecil Adkins, a founding member of the corporation. “That was in 1963.”

As the children grew up and the member families used the pool less and less, the pool was donated to the village, he said.

A timeline of the village history from the village website follows: • 1840s – In an area known to settlers as “Owls Nest,” Phillip G. Loop first settled in 1846. The next year, his son, George Loop was born. This area was part of the Great Black Swamp with friendly Native Americans traveling through the dense woods where deer, wolves, and wild turkeys were plentiful.

• 1836 – Truman P. Handy of Cuyahoga County purchased 160 acres of land (in what is now Walbridge) known as the Warner’s Addition from the federal government. The land was bounded by present day Union Street, Dixon Street, the south half of Loop Park, and Allen Street. President Andrew Jackson signed the deed for the sale of the land to Handy.

• 1839 – Truman Handy sold the land he purchased to the Ohio Railroad Company.

• 1850 – The first school was built – a one-room building for grades 1-8 located on the east side of S. Main Street near the present site of the Walbridge Nite Club.

• 1865 – Levi S. Warner purchased 80 acres of the Warner’s Addition. He later sold 40 acres to Samuel Dixon, in 1875.

• 1870 – The Toledo and Ohio River Railroad located in the village. A year later, a post office was granted by the government.

It was then that a group of local men met at the school house and renamed the Owls Nest to Walbridge, after one of the area’s largest landowners, Henry Walbridge.

Walbridge and his family never actually lived in present-day Walbridge, however the Walbridge family was prominent in Toledo.

• 1873 – Six families lived in the area – the Stein, Taylor, Clark, Warner, Loop and Allen families, who lived in log cabins and wooded areas.

• 1874 – Emeretta and Harriet Warner hired George Kirk to formally survey Walbridge. Two years later, the Hocking Valley Line (now C.S.X. railroad) came to the village, creating the need for a hotel to house the workers. The first hotel was known as “The Beanery.” At the turn of the century, 1900, the hotel was located on the south side of Union Street, between the two sets of railroad tracks.

• 1906 – A new cement block school was built at the present-day site of Walbridge Elementary. The school replaced the village’s second school building, which was purchased by Ed Scott and moved to the southeast corner of Main and Union Streets. This building was used as a tavern and pool hall. It was later moved to the south and stands at 105 S. Main and houses the current Walbridge Nite Club.

• 1908 marked the arrival of the street car, which connected the town to Toledo, Fostoria, and Findlay.

This large crowd turned out at Loop Park on July 22, 1953, a Wednesday evening, for the town’s 40th Anniversary Celebration.

• March 25, 1913 – Walbridge completed the last step to become incorporated. A.E. Kusian was elected the first mayor of Walbridge; Elery Scott was elected the first Marshal of the village. The first council meeting was held on April 7, 1913.

• In 1919 – Perry Street became the first street to be paved in town. That same year, the Walbridge State Bank opened.

• In 1920 – To meet the needs of the village, a municipal electric system was set up. Walbridge purchased electricity from Fremont, Ohio, where the Ballville Dam generated power. The current was carried over miles of lines to a substation where the present-day Great Eastern Shopping Center, Woodville Road, is located.

• In 1921 – William Schier was named the first Fire Chief of Walbridge, earning a salary of $10.00 annually.

• In 1927 –The town purchased its first fire truck. The pumper, a 1927 Seagraves, was delivered on a railroad flat car from Columbus, on March 28, 1928.

• 1930 – J. C. Loop became Mayor and served until 1941, when failing health caused him to resign. Mayor Loop, who served as a township trustee in 1909, was credited with building streets and was influential in drilling of a water well in the first village-owned waterworks (the pump house in the center of Loop Park).

Under his stewardship, eight acres of land in the Dixon addition were purchased in 1935 for a park, which was dubbed Loop Park. Mayor Loop died in 1942 at the age of 87, in his home located on S. Main Street where he had resided since he was 1 year old.

• 1932 – The Walbridge State Bank was forced to close with “assets frozen” marred with legal proceedings that followed.

• 1945 – The Walbridge Fire Department became the Walbridge-Lake Township Fire Department, and was located at the site of the present-day Walbridge Police Station.

Although crime was generally regarded as low or non-existent in those days, the newspapers of the day highlighted the story of someone blowing open the safe at the town’s post office on Christmas Eve, 1949. The story called the thieves professional safecrackers who used “nitro” and absconded with $1,500 in savings bonds and $100 in cash.

• 1958 – The 1958 Walbridge Bears team went undefeated with a 58-0 record.

The City Champions of the Toledo league was coached by Kempton Baker, Jim Kelly

and Montrose Brown.

• 1962 – Baseball was played at Loop Park and the Walbridge Civic Club is credited with starting a renovation plan of the park in 1962. They provided for a shelter house with restroom facilities. People enjoyed movies, 4th of July fireworks, and wintertime ice skating at Loop Park.

• 1961-1962 – Walbridge completed a new $170,000 water improvement program, thanks to a donated water main line from the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad (now C.S.X.).

In 1963, the village began purchasing water from the City of Toledo. That same year, the village also instituted a payroll tax.

• 1963 – The Exchange Bank opened its doors in Walbridge, The bank first located at 407 N. Main St. and remained there until January 1967, when it moved into its present-day location at 311 N. Main St. It is now The State Bank.

• 1964 – Another long-time institution of the community, the Aqua Terrace Swim Club, opened in 1964 after 10 area families got together and purchased five acres of property off of Parkview Drive. In April of 1994 the Village assumed ownership of the private swim club, making the pool available to everyone. Cecil Adkins, a 28-year veteran of council and original founding member of the swim club, paved the way for the village to acquire the pool for the community.

• 1983-1987– Railway Park was constructed in 1983, and the Village Library opened in 1987. Longtime Mayor Forrest Scarberry and Councilman Greg Pasqualone were instrumental in these endeavors.

• Early 1990s – Then councilmember Joanne Schiavone negotiated a landmark contract with the Evergreen Disposal Facility for village-wide refuse pickup.

This 10-year agreement saved thousands of dollars annually, beginning in 1991.

• 2000 – Walbridge’s neighbors to the north, the Walnut Hills Mobile Home Park, the Deluxe Mobile Home Park, along with a few commercial businesses, annexed to the village in early 2000.

• Former Mayor Robert Robson, oversaw the creation of Veterans Park along Main Street in the heart of the town. The park became the site of the village’s annual Christmas tree, beginning in December 2001. It is recognized as the anchor of an uptown beautification project undertaken by members of council throughout the 1990s.

School boards eye November ballot

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Two area school districts are making plans to place levy renewal requests on the November ballot.

The Eastwood school board will be seeking renewal of a 2-mill levy that was originally passed as a 5-year issue but will likely be on the ballot this year as a continuing levy.

“The size of this levy is very small, and it has had widespread support over the years,” Brent Welker, superintendent writes in the district newsletter. “As a result we are asking voters to renew this levy on a continuing basis, I know there are some people who will not like the fact that this levy, if passed, will be on a continuing basis. Many people like to have the account-

ability of having the district on the ballot to make sure we are minding the public coffers. However, having the income tax on the ballot every five years will still force the district to spend tax dollars wisely and provide plenty of accountability.”

A resolution to ask the Wood County Auditor to certify the renewal request was on the agenda of the school board’s June 27 meeting.

School board members plan to consider a second resolution to be submitted to the county board of elections at their July 29 meeting.

Welker said the effective collection rate of the levy is 1.1 mills. It funds capital projects such as building and bus maintenance.

“The dedicated fund is essential for us considering the age of our facilities,” he said.

Dave Michel, Eastwood treasurer, said the levy generates about $265,000 annually.

Woodmore board The Woodmore school board has approved a resolution that begins the process of seeking the renewal of an emergency levy in November.

Treasurer Kevin Slates said the levy was approved in 2009 and will expire at the end of 2014. It generates about $829,000 annually for operations of the district.

The school board is scheduled to meet July 23 at 6 p.m. and will consider a resolution to submit to the Sandusky County Board of Elections for placing the levy request on the ballot, Slates said.

Owner injured during boat explosion

This Week in Government Trustees dealing with zoning issues

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

A boat owner suffered burns to his legs, arms, and abdomen June 23 after an explosion at a gas dock at the Foxhaven Marina in Ottawa County.

According to the county sheriff’s department, Theodore G. Philput, 46, Canal Winchester, O., had just re-fueled port and starboard tanks on his 40-foot boat when he attempted to start the vessel from the fly

bridge. The engines apparently started and then stopped.

Philput then came down from the bridge and opened a hatch on the rear deck, a witness told the sheriff’s department. The witness said there was a clicking sound when the hatch opened, followed by an explosion.

Flames shot up momentarily and then

there was smoke.

Philput was transported by LifeFlight to Cleveland Metro General Hospital.

Brandt Buckholz, 18, Chippewa Lake, O., was slightly injured but didn’t require treatment.

The explosion is being investigated by the sheriff’s department and the Ohio Division of Watercraft.

Zoning issues in Lake and Woodville townships will be the subject of hearings.

An application to rezone a 1.23-acre parcel in Lake Township from agricultural to light industrial is on the agenda of the July 2 meeting of the Wood County Planning Commission.

The applicants would like to use the property, located at the southeast corner of Walbridge and E. Broadway, to house storage tanks which will be used in the recycling of biodegradable oils for restaurant use.

Joseph Solomon submitted the application on behalf of Michigan Protein, Inc., Cedar Springs, Michigan.

The plan commission will make a recommendation to Lake Township that the request be approved or rejected. Plan commission staff is recommending approval to the commission.

“The property has/is currently being used commercially,” the staff writes. “Lands surrounding the parcel are also being used this way. An industrial zoning classification, while an intense classification, does fit with what is in the immediate area.”

Zoning resolution Woodville Township trustees will hold a public hearing July 17 at 7 p.m. at the township fire station, 321 E. Main Street, Woodville, to discuss proposed changes to the section of the zoning resolution covering planned developments.

Copies of the proposals are available at the Woodville Public Library, 101 E. Main Street, Woodville, and residents can comment in person or through an attorney at the meeting. Correspondence may be mailed to P.O. Box 121, Woodville, O. 43469.

Survey scam?

Brent Welker, Eastwood school superintendent, is advising Eastwood residents to beware of someone claiming to be conducting a survey on behalf of the district.

A parent contacted his office, saying she was approached by someone about a survey. Welker said the district isn’t conducting a survey and urged residents to contact their local police department.

Audit award A recent clean financial audit of Wood County by the state auditor has resulted in the county receiving the Auditor of State Award with Distinction.

“Good finance is important to everything government does, and taxpayers expect this kind of accountability,” Auditor David Yost said.

Sheehy to fill Szollosi vacant seat

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon Councilman Michael Sheehy will fill the seat vacated by State Rep. Matt Szollosi, it was announced on Wednesday.

S h e e h y, who has been on council for nine terms, will serve the 18 months remaining in Szollosi’s two year term representing the 46th House District.

Oregon Councilmen Mike Sheehy James Seaman and Tom Susor were also among the local candidates who were interested in the seat.

Szollosi told The Press on Wednesday that he had put in a good word for Sheehy, whom he has known for 17 years.

“Traditionally – an outgoing state representative’s opinion, if he is on good terms with the state caucus, will matter. There were a number of very qualified applicants. I did mention to the caucus leadership that I had a close relationship with Mike Sheehy and I thought he would do a great job,” said Szollosi.

“I’ve always known him to be a man of integrity. He keeps his word, and he takes public service very, very seriously,” Szollosi added.

The 46th House District encompasses Oregon, East and South Toledo, Maumee, Springfield Township and Holland.

“The range of issues Mike will deal with in the state legislature are vast, but he’s well equipped to make difficult decisions and speak up about issues important to Oregon and our district,” said Szollosi.

Other candidates interested in the seat were Maumee Councilwoman Jenny Barlos, James Snodgrass, Jr., and Bob Wuest, of East Toledo.

“It was important to have a candidate from Oregon. But that certainly doesn’t take away from the qualifications of the other applicants,” said Szollosi. “Whoever serves this seat has to represent the interests of the entire district.”

Sheehy, a former CSX railroad conductor, will be a “strong voice for workers,” said Szollosi.

“But he also understands the need for economic and industrial development. So I see him as a representative who will reach out to business interests as well,” said Szollosi.

In a prepared statement, Sheehy said he was “overjoyed and overwhelmed” by the opportunity to serve in the legislature.

“My service will be continued commitment to good government and first class services with respect to everything from roads to education and funding for programs that are dear to taxpayers,” said Sheehy. “I have enormous respect for the Ohio Legislature and the legislative process. I hope to contribute in a significant and meaningful way to better government and a more effective and efficient use of resources for people of the 46th District and the great state of Ohio.”

Szollosi, who served on Oregon City Council for four terms, left during his fourth term as state representative to take the executive director position for Affiliated Construction Trades (ACT) of Ohio in Columbus. ACT is a 501c3 organization created to facilitate economic development opportunities and industry best practices for skilled trades in Ohio. Szollosi and his family have already sold their house in Oregon to move to Columbus.

Szollosi said he will miss being state representative, but that he will remain involved politically in his new post.

Rivera named Oregon superintendent

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Oregon school board on Thursday approved a four year contract with Dr. Lonny J. Rivera to be the district’s new superintendent.

Rivera, of Brown Road, has been principal of Wayne Trail Intermediate in the Maumee City Schools District since August, 2011.

The board set his annual salary at $119,000.

Rivera is replacing Dr. Mike Zalar, who resigned to take the superintendent position in the North Olmsted City Schools District in North Olmsted Ohio.

Rivera has bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees in education from the University of Toledo.

“It’s such a great honor,” Rivera told The Press after the meeting. “I love to help people. I can see no better way to come back and make a difference in Oregon.”

Rivera grew up in Bono in Jerusalem

Township and is a lifelong resident of the Oregon area.

“Kids have always been my heart and I have an opportunity to do some great things here,” he said.

The most pressing issues, he said, facing the district: enacting major legislative changes and financing.

“We have new testing, new standards, and a new evaluation system that is bogging down administrative systems. And of course, the district has money issues. I trust in the community, when we ask for money, that they will know we will use it wisely and provide opportunities for kids,” he said.

Board member Jeff Ziviski said Rivera “brings a passion for education to the district – a new enthusiasm.”

“The employees of the district have always been excited about educating our children, but Lonny brings some new energy,” said Ziviski. “I think you are going to see some changes in the way he leads our district compared to our previous superintendents. I know he is going to be

able to bring some fresh ideas that will build community support and create the `family feeling’ amongst the community something that is sorely needed. Also, Lonny is a teacher by nature, so I expect him to be in the buildings with the children and teachers. He will have a sense of the atmosphere and have a better grasp of what is happening in our buildings.”

Ziviski said there were some in the community who thought the superintendent should be from outside the district so it would be easier to make changes.

“He is genuine and straightforward, he is not afraid to tell you the truth,” said Ziviski. “Once people get to know him and he builds that trust, then the district will really be able to move forward. He is a likeable guy, extremely approachable, honest, trustworthy, and his heart is in the right place - he has integrity and wants to do the right things for the children of our district. We are lucky to be able to get him to be our new leader.”

Rivera and his wife Tammy have three children: Jared, 13; Alec, 10; and Gabrielle, 6.

Despite forfeiting, Wilczynski runs for mayor

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Dan Wilczynski, who forfeited his seat as Walbridge Mayor in January, has pulled petitions to run for the mayor’s post again.

The Wood County Board of Elections said that Wilczynski, of 502 E. Perry St., and current Walbridge Mayor Ed Kolanko, of 212 Parkview Dr., as of Wednesday pulled petitions for mayor. The deadline to submit completed petitions to the board is August 7 at 4 p.m.

Wilczynski forfeited his seat after council last December obtained an outside legal opinion that declared he had violated the Ohio Revised Code by missing too many meetings of council.

Wilczynski told The Press earlier this year that village solicitor, Brian Ballenger, had told him he could probably fight it, but that the village would have to pay for both sides. He forfeited his seat, he said, because he didn’t want the village to pay for lawyers to fight it.

So why does he want to return, particularly since he and most of council fought for several months over his attendance record?

“That’s a good question,” Wilczynski told The Press on Tuesday. “The residents of Walbridge in the last election elected me to be the mayor. And just because a number of council people didn’t like me being in that position, they went out and found a way to get me out.”

Council sought an opinion after learning that the Ohio Revised Code states that the mayor must attend 60 percent of city council meetings during a two year term.

“Somehow council found a state law that I was told by our solicitor doesn’t apply to mayors. But council paid another attorney to say that it does apply to mayors. Rather than me fight it and have the

It happens to be an issue with council members because, quite frankly, they don’t like me.

village’s money wasted, since that’s not what I’m about, I said, `Fine, if that’s what they want.’ The strange thing about that whole thing is that council went back and reviewed meeting minutes upon meeting minutes until they had found a two year period where I was one meeting over the 60 percent. That happened to be in a separate term, but the law is not very clear on that,” he said.

Wilczynski said the public knew he often went out of town and missed meetings due to his personal business, and still reelected him mayor in 2011. He said he was able to govern via email, text and fax during those times when he was out of town.

“I think I attended enough meetings.

Very little of the mayor’s job is attending council meetings. It’s just 2 percent of the mayor’s job. A lot can be handled at any time of the day. I was always available by email, text, and fax. It wasn’t an issue with voters,” he said. “It happens to be an issue with council members because, quite frankly, they don’t like me.”

Kolanko told The Press it was clear Wilczynski had forfeited his seat for missing so many meetings.

“Obviously, he had on multiple occasions violated the Ohio Revised Code and still doesn’t think it’s a big deal,” Kolanko

said of Wilczynski. “The ORC has even confirmed by legal counsel that he violated it. I would think his first and foremost comment should be to at least apologize to the residents of Walbridge for not admitting he was wrong. During the six months I have been mayor, I can tell you without a doubt how important it is for the mayor to be there in person. I stop by the office daily.

It makes a big difference how the village is run. So being there is important. It is an issue with residents. In the six months I have been mayor, it has become very evident how important it is. Many residents have voiced their displeasure at Dan’s excessive absenteeism.”

Wilczynski downplayed any tension there was between him and council before he forfeited his seat.

“For the eight and a half years of my being in the mayor’s position, we worked as a team. Of course there were disagreements. But they were always professionally handled, never attacking. But in the last year and a half, it turned into a personal vendetta,” said Wilczynksi. “A number of people on council ran solely for the purpose of getting rid of me.”

If voters put Wilczynski back in the mayor’s seat, he hopes they will also replace council with new members.

“I’m hoping to avoid the personal vendetta. I’m looking to encourage other people to run so we can make a complete change of council,” said Wilczynski.

Kolanko countered that it was Wilczynski, not council, who caused the friction when he was mayor.

“Unfortunately, the drama will come back to Walbridge if Dan becomes mayor again. The village has been operating smoothly since I have been mayor,” said Kolanko. “The relationship between the mayor and council is the best I’ve seen it during my experience with the Village of Walbridge.”

10 THE PRESS JULY 1, 2013

Your Voice on the Street: by Stephanie Szozda What advice would you give to those getting married this wedding season?

The Press Poll Are you watching the national news coverage of baby Elaina Steinfurth, the missing E. Toledo toddler?

Yes No I don't watch national news To cast your ballot, go to www.presspublications.com

Karen Howard Oregon “To make absolutely sure Christ is in the center of it.”

Becky Taylor Walbridge “Do your research on your vendors.

Make sure you sign a contract stating exactly what their services will include and what will happen if they don’t meet their obligations.”

Colleen Lange Oregon “Communicate with each other and respect each other.

Always put each other first.”

Lisa Barton Walbridge “Take a deep breath and take a moment to take it all in. It goes by so fast.

Enjoy it.”

Melissa Dodsworth Oregon “Sometimes there are too many opinions. It’s your day.

It should be exactly how you both want it, despite the opinions of others.”

Last Week's Results The government wants to drop the blood alcohol limit for being legally drunk in order to avoid drunk driving fatalities. The limit would go from .08 to .05. Do you agree?

71% No 71 Votes, strictly enforce the current laws.

29% Yes 29 Votes, it will make the roads safer.

With some time and effort, inner peace is achievable You can achieve inner peace. Although it doesn’t have to be elusive, it seems to be when you are distracted by life’s problems and challenges. If your attitude is negatively affected by all you have to deal with, a circular chain reaction ensues. A sour outlook attracts undesirable outcomes, which in turn reinforces the poor attitude.

Finding inner peace begins with breaking this endless cycle. You don’t wait for this to happen, you make it happen. Being proactive in your life is key. Inner peace is exactly that; it exists within you. Contrary to some conventional wisdom, inner peace is a cause, not a result.

Inner peace starts with your outlook.

Look at every day as wonderful, filled with endless possibilities. Always be grateful for your blessings. Look for solutions rather than wallowing in problems. Engage in positive self-talk.

Seek simplification. Your mind tends to complicate things. Every situation can be broken down into simple components.

This approach enables you to formulate an effective strategy for both the short and long term.

Recognize what you can change and what you can’t. Don’t get mired in all that is beyond your control. Focus your efforts on what you can influence. This concept

In the dark ages To the editor: Hasn’t the time come for Ohio to step into the 21st century and follow the lead of many other states to make the full line of consumer fireworks legal for sale and use in the state?

Forty-six states now permit the sale and use of some level of consumer fireworks, with Kentucky, Maine and Michigan having all gone to full-line consumer fireworks within the past two years. Those states have recognized two factors related to consumer fireworks – first and foremost, the products are safer today than they have ever been before; and the sale of consumer fireworks can raise some badly-needed revenue for the government.

Everyone loves fireworks. People love to watch major league sports, but they also love to play sandlot sports. The same holds true with fireworks. People love to watch professional displays, but they also love to shoot their own backyard fireworks too.

Fireworks and the 4th of July are synonymous. You simply cannot have a complete Independence Day celebration in America without fireworks. Americans love to celebrate with fireworks in much the same manner envisioned by John Adams on July 3, 1776, when the future U.S. President wrote a now-famous letter to his wife Abigail that Independence Day – “ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, bonfires and illuminations (fireworks) from one end of this continent to the other, from this day forward forevermore.”

Ohio legislators have the power to change the fireworks laws and take Ohioans out of the shadows of uncertainty and illegality and bring Ohio to parity with so many other states that permit the sale and use of the full line of consumer fireworks.

This is long overdue.

Since 1994, when the American Fireworks Standards Laboratory first began testing the consumer fireworks at the factory level in China for compliance with U.S.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden is especially applicable to people. They are who they are. You can’t change them.

Instead, work on yourself.

Harness the power of smiling. You’ll feel better because you smile, not vice versa. Smiling is a source of happiness more than a result. Those people who wait until they are happy before they smile are constantly waiting.

Inner peace is connected to what you do for others rather than how much you acquire for yourself. You can get everything you want in life by helping enough other people get what they want. Always be polite, courteous, and respectful.

Keep learning, improving, and growing. Education is necessary for growth.

Repeatedly making the same mistakes inhibits inner peace. Learn from your past.

Live in the present. Take action to prepare for the future.

Stop worrying. It’s a pointless activ-

ity that causes stress. Take action regarding anything you have control over. Let all the other stuff go. Eliminating worry takes a tremendous load off you. This one act alone moves you a lot closer to inner peace.

Have fun. Do what you enjoy. Laugh.

Inner peace is unattainable when you are miserable. Having fun is not selfish. You have more to offer others when you are happy. Being miserable repels people. No one wants to associate with someone who is always dragging themselves around.

Take responsibility for your life. The path you take is up to you. Change your

manufacturing and performance standards, while imports of fireworks have doubled from 117 million pounds in 1994 to 234.1 million pounds in 2011, the number of fireworks-related injuries as reported by the U.S. Product Safety Commission has dropped more than 23 percent from 12,500 to 9,600 over the same period.

Write or email your legislator and ask for legalization of the full line of consumer fireworks in Ohio. Take Ohio out of the consumer fireworks dark ages and into the modern era.

Please enjoy the Independence Day holiday with your family, and celebrate safely.

William A. Weimer Phantom Fireworks Vice President

Lesson learned?

To the editor: Why would someone who would never leave a child in a car during the recent sweltering heat, leave a beautiful furry puppy in a hot car in Meijer’s parking lot?

I don’t know. Stupidity is my guess.

They can’t be ignorant as, that would mean lack of knowledge. Everyone knows it is never a good idea to leave anything helpless in a car as temperatures rise.

It is the time of year to remind people – please leave the pets at home. It gets too hot to leave them in the car while you run in “for a few minutes.” It only takes a few minutes for it to become dangerous, even with the windows down and the car unlocked. He could have been stolen.

After 25 minutes of waiting, checking on the puppy, him yelping because he was hot and scared, I called the police. I have

before and will continue to call when I see this happening. I even left a note on your windshield suggesting you leave him home next time.

I have two little dogs. One is 15-1/4 years and the other is 14-1/4. I can’t bear to think of what is to come with them. I would never dream to ever have left them in a car like that. It broke my heart to see how careless you were with yours.

As you walked out, holding the hand of your sweet little daughter, ( I couldn’t help but be grateful it was not her that was left in the car) you were greeted by a very polite Northwood police officer, I’m sure the police officer reminded you leaving the dog in the car was not a good idea. After he left, you read the note, tore it up and threw it in the parking lot? Lesson learned?

direction if you don’t like where you are headed. Don’t blame other people or circumstances. Thinking or acting like a victim repels inner peace. In its place you will attract stress and frustration.

Be aware of how you feel and where you are headed. You must understand you current situation in order to take corrective action. Life is fluid. The only thing constant is change. You change and your goals change. Remain flexible. Be ready to make adjustments as needed.

Inner peace isn’t an all or nothing proposition. It is attained over time. It is achievable by anyone. No special training, aptitude, or sacrifice is required. You can work toward it on a regular basis.

Setbacks are part of the process. There are times where it seems as if you are going backwards. Don’t get frustrated or discouraged. When you stumble just get back up. Inner peace is more of a journey than a destination.

Firefighters Museum to display 150 years of vintage equipment and strategic importance of the “Ohio frontier.” Through use of a timeline, the story of the War of 1812 is told chronologically, highlighting such battles as Hull’s Surrender (Detroit), River Raisin (Monroe, Mich.), Fort Meigs (Perrysburg), Fort Stephenson (Fremont), the Battle of Lake Erie, and the Battle of Thames (Canada).

A number of special events and exhibits are presented throughout the year, including Verandah Concerts and Ice Cream socials in the summer months, an annual Independence Day concert (July 4), a Civil War re-enactment (Oct. 5-6), a special Hayes train display (Dec. 1-Jan. 5, 2014) and sleigh rides on the grounds (Dec. 2631), weather permitting.

800-998-PRES (7737), www.rbhayes.org

Tales of firefighting 150 years ago come alive at the Toledo Firefighters Museum, 918 Sylvania Ave., Toledo.

Located in the “Old Number 18 Fire House,” the display includes many large pieces of vintage firefighting equipment, including an 1837 Neptune – Toledo’s first fire pumper. Lovingly restored by Toledo firefighters, the hand-pulled, hand-operated Neptune required a 20-man crew and could deliver about 300 gallons of water per minute.

In addition, visitors will see fire gongs, antique fire toys, vintage uniforms and more.

Brandville School

Pemberville highlights

Brandville School, built in 1882, has been restored and is listed on the National Registry of Historical Buildings. It is now the cornerstone of the Oregon-Jerusalem Historical Society. In 2013, the Society is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its founding.

The complex houses local history memorabilia and artifacts. The second floor of Brandville School has an extensive military display with artifacts from every major conflict in which the U.S. has been involved, dating from the War of 1812 through the current war in Afghanistan. Of special interest is the original oil painting

by Gilbert Gaul of the Civil War Volunteer Light Artillery Battle of Cold Harbor, Virginia, which was commissioned in 1894 by the local Ford Post of the GAR (Grand Army of the Republic). The museum has an extensive collection of Civil War artifacts with over 400 items.

A carriage house was constructed at the complex to display the society’s display.

The first floor houses a replica of Metzger’s General Store, circa 1870, with many items from the original store, which was located at the present intersection of Wheeling and Navarre streets. The second floor features vignettes of a doctor’s office, a barber shop and a Victorian living area. Farm implements are also on display, in addition to a one-horse sleigh and many tools and devices used by local tradesmen in the past.

The third building is a restored oneroom school, which includes a pot belly stove, blackboards, reading bench, primers and school desks from various periods of time.

Open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursdays (excluding holidays). Call 419-693-7052 to arrange tours for groups of four or more. No charge; donations accepted.

In 1981, the Elmore Historical Society purchased 1860s Elmore Depot, along with 2.5 acres of land. The society undertook an extensive renovation and the building now houses memorabilia from Elmore’s past.

The Society also owns and maintains an 1840s log house which was once the home of Matti Heckman, who taught third grade to many in the area. In 1983, society members dismantled, relocated and rebuilt the Heckman log house, adding an elaborate flagstone fireplace and porch, and furnishing it with artifacts from its era.

Local man Jesse Riley competes at Kentucky Bluegrass Festival

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com We all have a passion or a hobby that we are greatly invested in.

For most of us, this passion is something that occupies our time and brings us joy, but rarely does it turn into something that presents us with the opportunity to compete in major events before large crowds.

For Toledo’s Jesse Riley, however, playing the banjo has afforded him some of those privileges.

Most recently, the Oak Harbor native competed in one of the nation’s premiere bluegrass festivals, the Official Kentucky State Championship Old-Time Fiddlers Contest. The event, held earlier this month in scenic Elizabethtown, a town of 28,000 located 45 miles south of Louisville, featured performers of all ages from all over the Midwest and the South competing in musical events featuring the banjo, guitar and harmonica, among other instruments.

The contest is held at the picturesque Freeman Lake Park, a location that features 170 acres of water, a disc golf course and some

walking trails. (The event has a website, www.kentuckyfiddler.com, as well as a Facebook Page.)

Riley, 70, finished second in the Bluegrass Banjo Division. He was assisted by his son, Troy, 46, who played the guitar to help complement the harmony and rhythm of the Riley’s perforJesse Riley mance.

“It was held at Freeman Lake on a beautiful state park,” Riley said. “It’s just gorgeous out there. People really turn out (for the event). Then they had the fiddle, guitar, banjo, harmonica and dancing championships for all different ages. I took second in the Bluegrass Banjo Contest, I beat three Kentuckians. I was very fortunate to beat them,” he said.

Riley, who is retired from General Motors and also worked as a barber before that, teaches banjo classes two nights a week in the winter at All-Star Music on Byrne Road.

He credits his students with helping him to become better acclimated to playing the banjo.

“My students helped me prepare (for the event),” Riley said. “Whatever I’m working on, they’re working on, and it really helps.”

A 1960 Oak Harbor graduate, Riley has three kids – Troy, his son, and two daughters, Kim and Kerry. Sadly, Riley’s wife, Mary Anne, a Lambertville, Mich. native, died six years ago.

Riley is also planning to compete in the Walnut Valley Festival in September.

The event, which is held in Winfield, Kan., located 43 miles southeast of Wichita, features acoustic musicians performing with an emphasis on bluegrass. The festival, which was first held in 1972, draws musicians and entertainers from all over the country.

Riley’s love of music comes from his roots, he said. Before moving to Oak Harbor in 1953 at the age of 11, he was born and raised in Waverly, a town approximately 28 miles north of Portsmouth in the southern part of Ohio. Waverly was just up the road from Lucasville, the hometown of American icon Roy Rogers, and it was here that

Riley developed an appreciation for singing and playing instruments.

“I came out of Southern Ohio,” he said.

“I’m from Appalachia near Portsmouth, where Branch Rickey is from. (The people) get you playing instruments when you’re young in the church. I once sang Amazing Grace at the end of a funeral when I was young and since then, I’ve been singing all my life.

“We moved to Oak Harbor in 1953 after my father died,” Riley said. “The school and the people were phenomenal, they treated me so well. I’ve been in Toledo since ‘64.”

After moving to Oak Harbor, Riley became friends with others who had a great appreciation for music. Along with Bill Oliver, Jimmy Thompson, Charles “Buddy” Andrews and Norm Witt, Riley formed the band The Trojans, a group that performed at a number of area bars and restaurants in the Sandusky area.

After turning to bluegrass in ‘64, Riley performed a number of gigs and even met Jerry Garcia and Bob Seeger. More recently, Riley has performed at the Ottawa County Fair and at the Apple Festival in Oak Harbor and currently can be seen playing gigs in Toledo.

Featured characters will include naturalist and folk hero Johnny Appleseed; Iroquois leader Chief John Logan; Lewis and Clark expedition member York; frontier aristocrat Margaret Blennerhasset, and the hero of the Battle of Lake Erie, Oliver Hazard Perry.

Each evening, music will fill the air beginning at 6:30 p.m., followed by performances at 7:30 p.m.

In addition to the evening living history presentation, the scholars will also present daytime workshops at the Rossford Library, with programs geared for children at 10 a.m. and adult programs at 2 p.m. The library is located at 720 Dixie Highway. All events are free.

Schedel gets Foundation Award A grant from the Ottawa County Community Foundation will help infuse new life into a fading program at the Schedel Arboretum & Gardens.

“For many years we were able to plant a beautiful display of mums lining the driveway and past the manor house, but in recent years, budget cuts drastically reduced the number of plants we could afford and last year we only did a couple of beds,” said Rod Noble, executive director of the gardens.

Chrysanthemums are popular fall flower because of their bright colors and ability to withstand frosts often well into November. The gardens, which close each year on Oct. 31, had been a destination for visitors from the area and beyond just to see the mums planted there that at times numbered over 1,000.

Music Under the Stars It’s a summer tradition in Toledo – the Toledo Zoo and the Toledo Symphony Concert Band will present “Music Under the Stars” concerts.

The Sunday-evening free concerts, performed in the zoo’s historic amphitheater from 7:30-9:30 p.m., each feature a fun musical theme. The schedule includes: July 7: Patriotic Pops July 14: What’s in a WORD? For more information, visit toledozoo. org.

Woodmore seniors return from trip to The Bahamas

By Michael Travis Staff Writer Woodmore To Window On April 17, the Woodmore seniors loaded the bus and made their way to the Bahamas. After a 22-hour bus ride, they reached Port Canaveral in Florida. After getting through security checks, students began their experience of a life time aboard the Carnival cruise ship “Sensation.�

After being on the road for so long, the seniors made themselves right at home on the ship, changing into swimsuits and tank tops. Within just a few hours, the students were in the pool and hot tubs soaking up the sun.

There were several activities on the ship. The top deck had hundreds of chairs for tanning, a pool with hot tubs on each end, water slides near the back of the ship and a putt-putt golf course in the front.

The inside of the ship offered a variety of things for students. Students had a chance to go to dance clubs and see late night stand-up comedians. The Woodmore students even had their own fun at a private karaoke party.

When the ship reached the island Nassau on April 19, they were taken by a ferry to Blue Lagoon Island. This island featured a dolphin encounter, where some students had the opportunity to swim with the dolphins. Those who did not swim with dolphins enjoyed some fun at the beach, playing on “fotos,� which are big inflatables with straps to climb and play on. “I think the only thing I didn’t like was that the kids swimming with the dolphins didn’t get to have fun on the beach due to time constraints,� said trip adviser Angie Balduf.

The group then returned to Nassau and shopped at the straw market, where they purchased items like cheap sunglasses and other souvenirs.

Every night they had dinner at 8:15 with hundreds of other passengers. Students could try new types of food like duck and escargot (snail). “The food was amazing, I tried stuff I

never thought I would ever eat in my life,� said student Zach Brossia.

When the ship returned to the dock the fun didn’t stop. Students shopped at the Coco Beach Ron Jon Surf Shop, where they bought even more souvenirs and Andy Shrewsbury even bought a long board.

The seniors returned to Woodmore on April 22, grateful to their advisers for taking them on their adventure, with many memories and tons of souvenirs.

(Reprinted with permission from the May issue of Window To Woodmore, a student publication).

Head Start cuts set The WSOS Board of directors approved submitting a program modification to the Head Start federal office to cut the program operated by the agency by 55 slots .

The amendment, which would be implemented for the 2013-14 program year, is in response to the 5.27 percent cut the federal Head Start office required WSOS to implement because of sequestration.

In order to meet budgetary guidelines, Bellevue and Bradner centers will be closed, and two others will be combined and moved to a new location. In addition, an Early Head Start class at the WSOS Stricker center in Fremont will be closed as of Aug. 31, and one center in Pemberville will operate a morning session only.

WSOS will continue to provide homebased services for families in the Bellevue and Bradner areas. We are doing all that we can to reduce the effects on families,� said Jacquie Wells, director of Family Development at WSOS. The board approved two other proposals for new funding before its summer break.

An application for $40,000 from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) will be submitted to the Wood County commissioners. The funds will be used to provide utility assistance to 50 Wood County veterans, displaced workers and/or previously incarcerated individuals who are at or below 30 percent of the county’s median income.

Thank You

Dear friend, My heart is steeped to overwhelming as I reflect on the enormity of kindness shown to me and my family. My journey caught all of us by surprise, but it is the road we are now on. Much of the time our challenges with the medical world, finances, and my health have been hard and difficult.

However, there have been times along the way that have brought us hope, happiness and even joy. My faith in God, coupled with the most amazing family, friends and community on earth, has carried us through valleys I wasn’t sure we could climb up from.

As I gazed across the sea of people for the benefit hosted in my honor just a few weeks ago, I was overwhelmed. The outpouring of support from so many, even perfect strangers, has been very humbling.

My words are clumsy at best, but the thanks I offer is real and saturated in gratitude. I can’t possibly say thanks enough. From prayers, to sacrifice of time, to attending the dinner, to donations or encouraging words, to gifts of money or auction items, to creating flyers or baking a dessert or serving salad, to setting up tables or writing a feature story that would help communicate ‘my story’and everything in between.... thank you, thank you, thank you!

I so appreciate all the sacrifices that have been made on my behalf. I shall never forget all the kindnesses.

God Bless You!

WARRANTIES & FINANCING

Well hi there, my name is Victoria and I am looking for a lap to snuggle up on. When I first came to the Lucas County Dog Warden as a stray my hair was severely matted and I was very uncomfortable.

Now I am all cleaned up and feeling great!

Maybe I could be the next addition to your family. 60+ of my canine friends and I are currently awaiting forever homes here at the Lucas County Dog Warden - 410 S Erie St, Tol - 419.213.2800 - Open Mon-Fri 10-6 and Sat 10-5. The LCDW is always looking to recruit volunteers to walk dogs and help with events. Donated items such as blankets, towels and dog supplies are ALWAYS appreciated. If you are missing your dog please come and check the LCDW. Make sure your dog is wearing the collar with a current license on, so we can bring them home safely. You can check us out on Facebook, Petfinder.com, and Petharbor.com.Adopt a shelter dog today!
