Park District authorizes increase in PO exemptions
With costs on the rise,
the Wood County Park District commissioners approved an increase in the
purchase order exemption
for district employees.
At the January 13 meeting, the commissioners
agreed to raise the amount
of purchases which employees can make for the district
to $999.
Director Neil Munger
noted that the amount has
been $500 for several years
and asked to raise it to $800.
Commissioner Bob Callecod suggested increasing
the amount to $999 since
costs have been going up
with the improved economy.
“I don’t agree with that,”
countered Commissioner
Joe Long who expressed
concern about allowing
employees to spend more
money.
Mr. Munger noted that all
purchases must be approved
by immediate supervisors
and are reviewed by himself
and officer manager Kristen
Long.
“There is a system of
checks and balances,” he
explained, adding that
employees are not given the
credit card until the purchase is authorized.

The company also will

Mr. Copsey said the reason for the replacement is that
pipelines bringing natural gas
into homes or businesses are
often steel pipe.
“Just like other important
parts of the infrastructure in
our communities, such as
highways and bridges, age
and condition can impact their
safety and reliability,” he said.

In addition, Columbia Gas
will relocate any indoor gas
meters to the outside of the
home or business if not
already outside.
“An outdoor meter eliminates the risk of shut-off due
to access issues, and provides
first responders with easy
access to your meter in an
emergency,” Mr. Copsey said.
“This is a safety enhancement
and a convenience to our customers.”
The work will require a
temporary interruption of natural gas service for some customers.
Impacted customers will
be contacted via letter in
advance. Columbia Gas will
make personal contact with
customers prior to shutting off
service and to schedule service restoration.
The project is expected to
begin in late January, with a
goal to complete the work by

replacement to begin in Jan.
This month Columbia Gas
of Ohio will begin a major
pipeline replacement project
in Perrysburg.
The company will replace
more than 35,000 feet of natural gas mainline.
The $3.4 million project
will replace existing steel pipe
with specially designed plastic pipe. The work will benefit
about 700 customers.
The work is part of
Columbia’s plans to invest
more than $2 billion in the
next 25 years, replacing
19,000 miles of natural gas
infrastructure in Ohio.
For the new pipeline system, Columbia Gas will
replace the main line–this
pipe usually runs underneath
the street or alley.
They also will replace the
service line–this pipe runs
from the main line to the
meter that serves a home or
business.
“Because all natural gas
pipelines are buried, some
digging will be necessary,”
said Jason Copsey, external
affairs specialist of Columbia
Gas of Ohio. “We pledge to
do as little digging as possible.”

At the January 7 meeting,
the trustees reviewed a petition signed by more than
two dozen Stonecroft residents.
They are asking that
parking on the street off of
East River Road be banned
between the hours of 6 a.m.
and 6 p.m., Monday through
Friday.
In a written statement,
they contend that heavy construction vehicles have been
parking on the road, causing
excessive damage to the
street and depositing debris.
The residents noted that
the vehicles are hindering
postal delivery and trash
pickup and expressed concern about the ability of first
responders to access residents’ homes in the event of
an emergency.
Trustee Bob Mack said
the parking ban could pose a
problem when families have
gatherings. “Where are they
going to park?” he asked.
Trustee Gary Britten
does not believe it will be an
issue since most family
gatherings will be after 6
p.m. or on weekends.
Administrator Walt Celley acknowledged that the
residents “get a lot of construction traffic during the
day” due to a nearby construction project.

Congressional bills, funding proposed
to improve Lake Erie water quality
As the U.S. Congress
begins its work for the new
year, several Ohio legislators
are trying to push Lake Erie
water quality issues to the
forefront of the agenda.
U.S. Congressman Bob
Latta has reintroduced HR
389, the Great Lakes and
Fresh Water Algal Blooms
Information Act.
This bipartisan legislation
examines the causes and current mitigation efforts of algal
blooms in the Great Lakes,
their tributaries and surface
fresh waters.
Congressman Latta previously introduced the legislation in the 113th Congress.
“The Great Lakes and
Fresh Water Algal Blooms
Information Act would create
a central information system
to study and monitor the
health of our Great Lakes,”
Mr. Latta explained.
“Last August’s water
emergency highlighted the
importance of keeping these
vital resources healthy, and
my legislation would establish a comprehensive database to help better determine
the causes of harmful algal
blooms, as well as the best
ways to combat them, so we
can protect these national
treasures for generations to
come.”
Harmful algal blooms are
cited as one cause of last
summer’s water emergency
ban, which prevented more
than 300,000 Toledo area residents from drinking water
from the City of Toledo’s
water system last August.
The Great Lakes & Fresh
Water Algal Blooms Information Act requires the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) to
create an electronic database
for the voluntary submission
of research and information
regarding algal blooms causes and mitigation efforts in
the Great Lakes by accredited
entities, according to Mr.
Latta.

Last week’s weather a photographer’s dream
Michelle Trares captured this photo last Wednesday morning on the corner of
Poe and Liberty Hi roads in Bowling Green. She described the morning freezing
fog as “magical.”
According to Wikipedia, “freezing fog occurs when liquid fog droplets freeze to
surfaces, forming white soft or hard rime. This is very common on mountain tops
which are exposed to low clouds. It is equivalent to freezing rain, and essentially
the same as the ice that forms inside a freezer which is not of the ‘frostless’ or
‘frost-free’ type. The term ‘freezing fog’ may also refer to fog where water vapor is
super-cooled, filling the air with small ice crystals similar to very light snow. It
seems to make the fog ‘tangible,’ as if one could ‘grab a handful.’”

“NOAA will also be
required to report these important findings to Congress,” he
added.
Also last week, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio
announced more than $19 million in new federal funds to
improve water quality in the
western Lake Erie basin.
The funding is part of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Regional Conservation Partnership Program
(RCPP), which the senator
helped establish in the 2014
Farm Bill.
Ohio conservation projects
will be awarded more than
$27 million under this program.
“These federal resources
will help reduce harmful algal
blooms and ensure the safety
of Ohio’s drinking water and
the strength of our economy,”
Senator Brown said.
“But these federal funds
are just the beginning. We
need to utilize every available
resource and innovation to
reduce runoff, preserve the
local environment and protect
our water supply.”
The Tri-State Western
Lake Erie Basin Phosphorus
Reduction Initiative will
receive $17.5 million in funding to help farmers implement
conservation practices that
reduce the flow of phosphorus, which contributes to
harmful algal blooms.
The funds will help farmers enroll in the Environmental Quality Incentives Program
(EQIP), which provides
resources for producers to

Mr. Brown–the first
Ohioan on the Senate Agricul-
ture Committee in more than
40 years–has worked to secure
federal funding to reduce

introduced a series of proposals to improve water quality.
He already has worked to

Dear Editor:
I hope that local government is not paying a lot of
money for studying traffic at
the intersection of Louisiana
Avenue and Seventh Street.
Signs posted there proclaim
“Signal Under Study For Removal.”
I have personally conducted a 46-year study of
this intersection, checking it
out every time I drove
through it for the entire time
I have lived in Perrysburg.
My data indicates that this
traffic signal should have
been removed in 1969. What
are we waiting for?

communities just can’t afford
the clean up,” he said.
Mr. Britten discussed the
possibility of shifting solid
waste funds–alloted to communities throughout the
county–into a separate kitty
to support disaster restoration.
He is proposing the re-allocation of one year’s worth
of funds. Mr. Britten admitted he isn’t certain whether
the money could be used for
this purpose. “This is just in
the discussion stage,” he
added.

to chair House committee
Speaker of the Ohio House Clifford Rosenberger, left,
has appointed Rep. Tim Brown, right, to chair the House
Government Accountability and Oversight Committee.
“It is an incredible honor to be asked by the Speaker to
serve as a committee chairman,” said Rep. Brown. “I believe the Speaker is focused on making Ohio’s economy
strong again, and I look forward to serving as part of the
team. Moving Ohio forward is our top priority at the Statehouse and I’m rolling up my sleeves and ready to get to
work.”
Representative Brown also will serve on the House of
Representatives Health and Aging Committee and the Financial Institutions Committee. He is beginning his second term in the House. He represents the 3rd District,
which includes all of Wood County.
Wood County real estate
taxes have been mailed
Real estate tax statements
for the first half of 2014,
payable by February 13,
2015, have been mailed, according to Jill Engle, Wood
County treasurer.
A total of $185,081,315.95
has been billed against
72,619 parcels. To avoid a 10
percent penalty, the taxes
must be paid by February 13,
2015. By law, the post office
cancellation date is considered. Taxpayers should be
aware that all internet payments, mailed by their financial institutions need to be
postmarked on or before the
due date.
Once again, Treasurer
Engle will furnish duplicate
“information only” copies of
statements to property owners
who pay their real estate taxes
with their house payment.
“This is for taxpayer reference only,” Mrs. Engle cautioned,
“the
lending
institution will receive the
DOWNTOWN PERRYSBURG INC.’S
PROUDLY PRESENTED BY
original bill and make payment, the property owner will
simply have the convenience
of knowing the amount and
breakdown of their tax dollars.”
Members of the National
Guard and Reserve components of the Armed Forces of
the United States, who have
been called to active duty
may qualify for an extension
of time in which to pay.
As a customer service,
most of the financial institutions in the county will accept
payments of the real estate
taxes and forward them. Individuals need to present their
bill and pay the exact amount.
They will not accept partial
payments, escrow payments
or disputed amounts. These
concerns can be resolved by
contacting the treasurer’s office either in person or by toll
free phone. The phone numbers are Bowling Green, 419354-9130; all other areas,
1-866-860-4140, extention
9130.
The financial institutions
participating are the Corn
City State Bank, Farmers and
Merchants, First Federal of
the Midwest, First Merit
Bank, State Bank and Trust,
Union Bank, and specific
Huntington National Bank
branches.
Tax payments may be
made by automatic withdrawal from your checking
account. You also may remit
payment by credit card with a
convenience fee attached.
A drop box for tax payments is located in the southwest corner of the parking lot
off of Summit Street. It is directly behind the UPS box.

site at treasurer.co.wood

Kingston Residence of Perrysburg offers five tips to
avoid medication mishap.
As our 55 and over population continues to rise, so does
the concern of health professionals regarding how to best manage their health and safety. One such concern is for the number of medications that are prescribed for seniors. According
to the Journal of the American Medical Association, nearly
one-third of Americans ages 57-85 take at least five or more
prescription drugs, and some with chronic illness may take as
many as 20. Medication has tremendous benefits to curing,
preventing and easing chronic conditions. At the same time,
the combination of medicines can lead to negative effects on
the body, or even dangerous outcomes, if not carefully monitored. Elderly patients are particularly susceptible to issues
caused by polypharmacy, a term used when a patient is taking
over four different medications increasing the risk of misuse or
negative effects.
As a certified nurse practitioner (CNP), Brenda Blackshear,
is all too familiar with the challenges of polypharmacy. Ms.
Blackshear has managed and prescribed medications for over
20 years. As a full time CNP for Kingston Residence of Sylvania, an assisted living and memory care community for seniors, she has seen how the stress of keeping track of
medications can take a toll on residents and caregivers. “In
some cases, it’s the medication overload that is the tipping
point for choosing to come to assisted living.”
“At Kingston, we have many residents who can manage
their own medications on a daily basis, then as they age or their
symptoms continue to worsen, the pill burden can become
overwhelming. Fortunately, residents can choose to have our
clinical staff monitor their medications and look for changes in
their health or behaviors,” states Ms. Blackshear.
Part of Ms. Blackshear’s experience is de-prescribing medications for residents to improve their well-being and quality
of life. “What you find is that people will take the same medication for years without question, or have prescriptions from
the cardiologists, pulmonologist and family physician. It’s a
case of having several healthcare providers prescribing medicines without having the entire picture. So people get a number of pills and doses that could create potentially negative
outcomes like higher risks of falls or hospitalization,” Ms.
Blackshear explains.
The success of any medicine truly hinges upon the communication among patients, doctors and caregivers. A few
simple measures can be taken to bridge communication to increase the success of a medication program and hinder the
risks of medical mishaps.
1. Create a medication journal and keep it up to date. This
is particularly important for patients who take multiple medications. Be sure to include the physician, date the medication was originally prescribed, diagnosis (why and what it will
be used for), and how long it needs to be taken. Write down
both the brand and generic name of the medication as well as
the pharmacy source. If you use a smart phone, take a picture
of all your prescription labels. Make a few notes about a drug
after you start taking it. Include positive and negative effects
that it caused you such as nausea, anxiety or joint pain. Re-

Planned Giving Lunch and Learn
program scheduled for Jan. 28
Central Catholic,
W in partnership with Fifth Third
Bank, is hosting a planned
giving “Lunch and Learn” series. The educational series
will review a variety of topics
essential to planned giving.
The first Lunch & Learn
event, The Philanthropic
Women, will take place on
Wednesday, January 28, from
member to include over the counter medication and herbal
remedies as well. Tell your loved ones about the journal and
where to find it in case of an emergency health situation.
2. Bring your medication journal everywhere you will receive healthcare. Your healthcare is a team effort with you
being the key player. Keep all your doctors informed about
your medications to ensure that you do not run the risk of having drug-related problems. Review your medications frequently with your physicians, particularly if you have been
taking them for quite some time. The pharmaceutical market
is continually making progress, you may find that new alternatives are available for your condition.
3. Choose one pharmacy source if possible. Many drugs
come with pages of information that are prone to be confusing
rather than educational. Find a pharmacy that has a strong
team of experts who take the time to answer your questions
and follow your medication closely. Studies show, that about
40% of seniors fail to take their medication as instructed. Take
advantage of your pharmacy’s counseling service when you
have a question about a medicine. Be sure to review your prescription if you have any doubt as to how and when to take it.
If you take generic drugs, ask the pharmacists if the company
providing your medication has changed. Even though drugs
are closely monitored, they can have a small change from one
generic provider to the next. A change to your generic prescription could cause new side effects. Contact your pharmacist if you suspect that your generic prescription is different.
4. Pay close attention to changes to your body or behavior.
Just as your body changes over time, so can the way you react
to a certain medication. Symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, lethargy, irritability or forgetfulness could be caused by
alterations in the way you are reacting to your medications.
Dr. Chad R. Worz, PHARMD, a pharmacy expert for Kingston
HealthCare shares, “older adults metabolize medication differently than younger adults. This will affect how the medication works as people age and also how medications may
interact with one another.” Ask your spouse or caregiver to
mention changes in your behavior that you may not be aware
of such as confusion or anger. Be sure to call your physician
when you notice a difference in how you feel and act.
5. Accept help. Often seniors avoid asking for help for fear
of being seen as less independent or weak. In the case of medication, one should consider that the result could be a better
quality of life versus dire consequences. Seek help of a caregiver such as spouse or other family member. Involve them
with your medication journal and together seek resources to
help manage your medication. Ask your pharmacist or physician about resources that they recommend for your particular
needs.
While medications are necessary and invaluable for help
managing illness and experiencing better quality of life, it is
important to be aware of mishaps that could occur by taking an
uneducated approach to medicine whether it be over the
counter, natural remedies or pharmaceuticals. By becoming
more informed and involving your loved ones and clinical
caregivers, you increase the chances of having the best outcomes for health and wellness.

The Jackets applied excellent defense early on,
holding the Titans to just six

game with a 32-23 win.

stretch in which the Jackets
re-possessed control of the
game.
The Jackets would then

Jacket hockey team wins two
Perrysburg High School's
Winter One Acts is set to hit
the stage January 22 to 25
and January 29 to February
1. Shows on Thursday, Friday and Saturday begin at
7:30 p.m., and Sunday
shows begin at 2:30 p.m.
Winter One Acts have
three different one-act plays
in one. This year, the shows
include “Campsite Chaos: A
Frantically Romantic Love
Story,” “To Absent Friends,”
and “The Express Line.”
In “Campsite Chaos,”
Zoe is hopeful that a quiet,
romantic camping trip in the
middle of nowhere will be
the perfect opportunity for
her boyfriend Perry to finally
pop the question. But the
distractions of unexpected
guests keep getting in the
way.
“To Absent Friends” follows the story of Eric, a senior in high school, as he lies
in a hospital room recovering from a car accident. Eric
is surprised late one night
when his friends sneak in to
visit. There’s Bruce, the
class genius; Shawn, the
class clown, and the lovely
Jenny, who brightens any
room she’s in. While the visit
is intended to cheer Eric up,
it does little to cheer him up
and forces him to acknowledge what really happened in
the car accident.
Chris Bellavia and Ethan Nagy rehearse for the upcoming
production of Winter One Acts.
“The Express Line” is a
comedy we can all relate to:
the supermarket express lane
with the one person who
tries to sneak through the
lane with more items than is
allowed, the rule-enforcing
cashier who refuses to serve
him, the frustrated customers
who just want to pay already
and the bumbling boss who
makes everything worse.

The Jacket hockey team recently celebrated victories over rivals Anthony Wayne, 63, and Maumee, 5-3.
“In both games against Anthony Wayne and Maumee, we gave in to the other teams
early and allowed them to lead going into the third periods,” said Head Coach Kevin
Brown. “When talking to the boys we told them to keep putting pucks on the net and
remember to get back into the defensive zone to take care of our own end. Defensive
leadership from Ryan Murphy, Connor McCullough and amazing games from Sam
Hooper in net permitted our offensive players like Matt Studer, Drew Nitschke and Sam
Rudolph to take aggressive chances. The mental toughness we showed to keep playing at our full potential allowed us to be the last team standing.”
Above: Seniors Ryan Murphy, Nick Wismer and Sam Hooper help defend Jacket territory.
Below: Captain Matt Studer’s aggressive play and stick handling helped the Jackets dominate over the Generals and the Panthers.

Future U.S. President, James Garfield, sips brandy on Front Street
James Garfield visited Perrysburg in 1877.
By Richard Baranowski
James A. Garfield was the
20th president of the United
States, elected in 1880. He is
among the short list of United
States presidents who have
visited Perrysburg. It was the
year 1877. Garfield was a
U.S. Congressman from
northeast Ohio. He was here
stumping for the Republican
candidates running for state
offices.
By 1877, James Garfield
was considered a Republican
Party leader. He had served in
the Civil War, advancing to
brigadier general at age 30,
the youngest in the Union
Army. At the prodding of
Abraham Lincoln, who
needed men in Congress who
understood the war, Garfield
ran and was elected in 1862.
This began a string of nine
consecutive two-year terms.
Garfield was widely read,
a scholar and intellectual.
Ambidextrous, he could simultaneously write Greek
with his left hand and Latin
with his right, often entertaining at parties with this unusual
talent. Garfield prepared his
speeches with great care, but
was “too fond of talking,”
some Congress members said.
But it played well in the hinterlands. A two-hour speech
sounds paralyzing today. But
in those days it was the epitome of mass entertainment,
welcomed and enjoyed.
Garfield became the workhorse of the Republican Party.
Whenever they needed to bolster the party or plug a party
member, he was called upon,
which was the purpose of his
Perrysburg appearance. The
Ohio elections were approaching and the Republican
state ticket was in deep trouble.
In March of 1877, Rutherford B. Hayes resigned as
governor of Ohio as he had
been elected president. It was
a closely contested race, embodied with recount chicanery. The race was finally
decided by a special commission. Hayes was fortunate that
there was one more Republican on this commission than
Democrat and he won 8-7,
with Garfield casting one of
the eight votes.
Although Hayes was victorious, it was by the skin of
his teeth and he pledged to
serve one term only, which
was probably a mistake as it
made him an instant lame
duck. Furthermore, the Democrats commanded Con-
Asher Cook introduced
Garfield to a Perrysburg
audience.
gress. To the discontent of the
Republicans, Hayes had made
major compromises with
these Democrats, who agreed
not to object the commission
vote.
Back in Ohio, things were
in a fix as well. Hayes had left
his lieutenant governor to finish his term. State elections
took place in October of 1877.
Democrats had the edge. The
country was in a profound
business depression, suffering
from unemployment, falling
crop prices, factory strikes and
a recent rash of railroad strikes
which turned violent. Garfield
was sent to rescue the Ohio
Republicans.
This was not Garfield’s
first visit to Perrysburg–if you
want to count a train stop.
During the early morning of
October 2, 1866, Garfield was
on his way from Cincinnati to
Toledo. His train made its regular stop in Perrysburg at 5:30
a.m. At Toledo, the future
president met James Ashley,
who was running for Congress from northwest Ohio.
They began a campaign trip
around the district, which included
Perrysburg,
but
deemed it an unnecessary stop
as it was a Republican stronghold then. They did visit
Wauseon, Defiance, Napoleon
and Bryan. Garfield helped
Ashley win this 1866 election.
Returning
to
1877,
Garfield was crisscrossing the
state again, speaking wherever a crowd would assemble.
On Monday, September 10,
1877, Garfield left his farm in
Mentor, taking the train to
Cleveland, 20 miles west. He
switched trains and arrived in
Clyde at 6 p.m. He made a
speech that evening and spent
the night there.
The next day he took the
train to Toledo and on to
Wauseon, where he addressed
a crowd at the courthouse. He
did not come through Perrysburg. (Although the railroad
runs through town east-west it
is really a north-south line.)
Afterwards, he met his cousin
George Garfield, and together
they took the train to Bryan
where George lived. On
Wednesday, Garfield visited
with relatives in Bryan. He
made a speech at the Opera
House that evening.
On Thursday, September
13, Garfield left Bryan on the
train at 8 a.m. and arrived in
Toledo at 10:30 a.m. He dined
with friends and at 5 p.m.,
took the train to Perrysburg.
About
5:30,
James

The Asher Cook home, 409 East Front Street, where Garfield visited while in Perrysburg.
Garfield stepped off the train
at the depot on Third and
Louisiana. It was fair and
about 70 degrees. Garfield
had his carpet bag of belongings, usually containing more
books than shirts. He wore
leather boots, a long coat,
waistcoat or vest and a narrow
ribbon type necktie. He wore
a beaver fur or silk top hat and
usually carried a walking
stick.
If not smoking a cigar,
Asher Cook, prominent Perrysburg Republican and probate judge who was there to
meet him, would have likely
offered him one. They went to
Cook’s home for tea according to Garfield’s diary, but
more likely brandy, a favorite
drink of the future president.
The four-year-old stately brick
mansion was at 409 East Front
Street, one of the most opulent
homes in Perrysburg at that
time. It still stands today.
Politically, it was an interesting time in Perrysburg. Village
government
was
dominated by Democrats.
They were led by Mayor John
Rheinfrank, a physician, fluent in German, a key political
asset, as Perrysburg had a
large number of Germanspeaking immigrants at the
time.
Adding to the political mix
were, despite Perrysburg’s
tiny population, two newspapers. One was a Democrat
leaning publication called the
Buckeye Granger, which
billed itself as the “Official
Paper of Wood County
Democracy.” It competed
with the Perrysburg Journal,
which spread the Republican
doctrine. It made for a steady
stream of tearaway politics.
These two newspaper editors–James Timmons of the
Journal and Nathaniel Callard
of the Granger–used their
weekly publications as a
megaphone to denounce one
another or anyone else who
happened into view who did
not agree with their opinions.
Around 7 p.m., James
Garfield and Asher Cook
made their way over to the
Town Hall on Walnut and Indiana Avenue for what was
billed as the “Republican
Grand Rally.” It was likely
that they met Earl Merry. Republicans were running

James Steedman of Toledo
and David Joy from Findlay,
both who later won these 33rd
District seats. Merry may
have even spoken briefly, although Asher Cook introduced Garfield to the
audience.
Garfield stepped on to the
stage of the Town Hall around
7:30 p.m. He was tall, 6’1”,
220 pounds, broad shouldered, with a large head, dark
brown hair and blue eyes. His
beard made him appear older
than his 45 years. He had
plenty of experience making
speeches and spoke with such
volume, his voice reached the
farthest corners of the hall.
The Town Hall could hold
maybe 600 people if some
stood, and the Journal reported a “fair crowd,” interspersed with quite a few
women, although they could
not vote. Garfield had spoken
to much larger audiences during his speechmaking travels,
with an ability to hold a
crowd. Garfield would have
made a venerable preacher in
another life.
Garfield opened his speech
by informing the audience that
certain European countries believed that American government was a failure. He seized
on this theme and used as an
example, an essay written by
British politician-intellectual
Thomas Macauley.
Macauley wrote that the
U.S. system of government
gave people too much freedom and this freedom would
cause the country’s downfall.
Hard times, Macauley predicted, would come and the
people would crush the very
power that sustained them.
Garfield devoted the first part
of his speech refuting this philosophy. It was a safe subject.
Later, Garfield spoke of
the struggle between capital
and labor, notably the factory
strikes, and the positions of
the two parties on this subject.
He also made excuses for the
Depression and businesses
that had gone bust; most notably a number of railroad
companies that had recently
over extended themselves.
Read today, Garfield’s
speeches seem pretty dull.
But they attracted crowds
everywhere and were serious
business to him, often becoming major research projects.
However dull, they represented considerable scholarship. He revised speeches
over and over and presented
them with force and effect.
Some were later adapted into
magazine articles.
The Republican Perrysburg Journal said, “General
Garfield occupied about one
and a half hours and riveted
the attention of the audience
throughout. At the close it was
not uncommon to hear the remark that ‘it was the best
speech I ever heard.’”
The Democrat Buckeye
Granger begged to differ.
“The General is an eloquent
speaker and it was a pleasure
to hear him. His logic is too
lame and comparisons rather
too far-fetched, however to
wash the de facto Hayes and
the needy state platform down
the throats of a majority of his
audience.”
The phrase ‘the de facto
Hayes’ is interesting. De facto
in Latin means in fact and it
describes an accepted practice
that has no legal or official status. The Granger was not recognizing Hayes as entitled to
the presidency. At any rate, the
local newspapers made ink
with Garfield’s visit, and the
people of Perrysburg were entertained by one of the finest
orators of the time, and unbeknownst to them a future president.
The last train to Toledo
that evening left at 9:15 p.m.
Garfield apparently did not
finish in time to catch it. The
next train was at 6:15 a.m. In
a hurry to get out of Perrysburg and home, Garfield
hitched a ride with a 10 p.m.
freight train to Toledo, probably riding in the caboose.
After a several hour wait at the
Oliver House, he caught a 3
a.m. train that took him home.
Garfield was not able to
ward off the extinction of
Ohio Republicans. The entire
Ohio state platform went Democrat. In the House and Senate, the Democrats won
majorities of 39 and 15.
James Garfield was elected
president in 1880. He served
about three months when shot
and died two months later.
Garfield and another Ohioan,
William Henry Harrison share
the unfortunate history of
shortest days in the Whitehouse. Garfield, 200; Harrison, 31, after dying of
pneumonia.
U.S. Presidents visiting
Perrysburg are few, but James
A. Garfield can be counted
among them.

As part of its Show Me
the Movie contemporary
film series, Way Library will
screen “Chef” on Tuesday,
February 3, at 2 p.m.
An upbeat, feel-good
comedy “Chef,” released in
2014, stars Jon Favreau,
Sofia
Vergara,
Robert
Downey, Jr., Scarlett Johansson and “El Jefe,” a
food truck with killer
Cubano sandwiches.
Favreau plays Carl
Casper, a stubborn, worldclass chef who leaves a stifling career and outfits a
food truck with signature
dishes and his dreams of
freedom. On a cross-country
tour, he not only regains his
kitchen mojo but rebuilds a
relationship with his young
son. Mouth-watering food
shots and a lively Latin
soundtrack make this film a
feast for the senses.
Rated R for language,
this film is for adults only.
The Show Me the Movie
series is sponsored by Skotynsky Financial Group,
LLC. Refreshments will be
served.
For more information,
call 419-874-3135, extension 119, or visit the library

January is ‘National Winter is here Golden Buckeyes! Are you ready? Autism Awareness topic
of program January 22
Radon Action Month’
January 2015 is has been
declared “National Radon Action Month” according to the
Environmental
Protection
Agency. Health agencies
throughout the United States
have joined forces to promote
awareness of the leading cause
of lung cancer for non-smokers. The American Lung Association, Centers for Disease
Control, and National Cancer
Institute all agree that radon is
a National health problem and
encourage radon testing during the January awareness
drive.
Radon is a naturally-occurring, invisible and odorless radioactive gas. One in 15
American homes contains
high levels of radon. Millions
of Americans are unknowingly exposed to this dangerous gas. In fact, a recent study
by Harvard University ranks
radon as America’s leading inhome hazard. By taking simple steps to test your home for
radon and fix if necessary, this
health hazard can be avoided.
Radon gas is not isolated to
certain geographical areas or
home types. Radon problems
have been detected in homes
in every county of the U.S. It
caused more American fatali-
ties this year than carbon
monoxide, fires and handguns
combined. If a home hasn’t
been tested for radon in the
past two years, EPA and the
Surgeon General urge you to
take action. Contact your state
radon office for information
on locating qualified test kits
or qualified radon testers.
The federal commitment
made by EPA, the General
Services Administration, and
the departments of Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Health
and Human Services, Housing
and Urban Development, Interior, and Veterans Affairs will
focus efforts on radon reduction and mitigation in homes,
especially those of low-income families, many of whom
do not have the resources to
make the simple fixes necessary to protect their homes and
loved ones.
The federal consortium recently met with key leaders in
the public health, environmental and private sectors to
launch the federal radon action
plan that includes both immediate and longterm steps to reduce radon exposure. Learn
more about national radon action month at: www.Radon
Month.org.
After a mild December,
January is bringing winter
weather to Ohio. Because
older adults are at increased
risk of complications from
cold and snow, the Ohio Department of Aging encourages all Golden Buckeyes to
have a plan to stay warm and
injury-free.
“As we age, our bodies
react differently to extreme
conditions, in part because
we lose body heat more
quickly and also because we
are more likely to take medications that affect our ability
to regulate body temperature,” said Bonnie Burman,
director of the department.
It’s not too late to prepare.
Create a plan today that will
allow you to remain in place
for at least three days should
you be unable to leave your
home due to weather conditions:
•Create an emergency kit
that contains a battery operated radio, a flashlight, extra
batteries, a loud whistle or
bell, food that you can open
and prepare easily, water
(one gallon per person per
day), extra blankets and a
first aid kit.
•Keep a backup supply of
the medications you take
every day. Have an ice chest
on hand and keep ice packs
in the freezer for medications that need to be kept
cool.
•Make sure your medical
equipment and assistive devices (such as canes, walkers, wheelchairs, lifts,
oxygen tanks, etc.) are easy
to locate in an emergency.
Have spare batteries or nonpowered options for any
equipment that will not work
if there is no electricity.
•Designate a safe place to
go (such as a friend or neighbor’s house or shelter) and
have a plan for getting there
if it becomes unsafe to stay
in your home.
•Be prepared to quickly
explain to rescue personnel
how to move you or help you
move safely and rapidly
(e.g., “take my oxygen
tank,” “get my insulin from
the refrigerator”).
(Adapted from “Emergency Management Be-Prepared Kit,” available at
www.disabilityrightsohio.org
)
The Ohio Department of
Aging works with the state’s
12 area agencies on aging to
make sure that each community has a plan for assisting
older adults during weather
emergencies. Area agencies
can also help the elderly
identify resources, such as
energy assistance, chore
service and minor home repairs that can help them stay
warm and safe this winter.
Call 1-866-243-5678 to be
connected to the agency
serving your community, or
visit www.aging.ohio.gov
for local contacts.
“Snow, ice and inactivity
can also increase the risk of
falling for older adults during winter,” Ms. Burman
added.
“Falls are the leading
cause of injury-related hospitalizations and deaths in
older Ohioans and the risk
goes up with ice and snow.”
To prevent falls, the
STEADY U Ohio initiative
encourages you to “Win
Winter!”
•Dress warmly, but be sure
you can still see in all directions and move easily and
freely.
•Wear sturdy shoes or
boots with good treads.
•Allow extra time to get to
where you’re going.
•Keep sidewalks and stairs
outside your home clean of
ice and snow.
•Carry a cell phone and
designate someone to call for
help if you need it.
For more winter falls prevention
tips,
visit
www.steadyu.ohio.gov.
The department encourages all Ohioans to check on
their older loved ones and
neighbors during extreme
weather conditions. Call or
visit to ensure they have
what they need to stay warm
and healthy. Things to check
include:
•Are they staying warm?
Is their heating system working properly and set at reasonable temperature? Are
they using portable heaters
safely? Do they have an adequate supply of fuel, if appropriate?
•Do they need medical attention? Do they have symptoms of cold-related illness
(e.g., shivering, exhaustion,
confusion, memory loss,
slurred speech or white/grayish skin color)? Do they depend on oxygen? Are they
out of or running low on any
medications or medical supplies? Have they fallen?
•Do they have an adequate
food supply and a safe way
to prepare meals? Do they
have non-perishable food
that can be prepared without
electricity? Do they have
plenty of clean drinking
water?
•Can they get help if they
need it? Do they have access
to a phone that works, even
if the power goes out? Do
they know who they will
contact if they need assistance?
Remember:
Confusion
and disorientation can be
symptoms of hypothermia,
dehydration or stress, and
may have nothing to do with
the person’s age. If someone
seems ill, call 9-1-1.
Follow the Ohio Department of Aging on Facebook
and Twitter for more coldweather safety information
all winter long.
The Ohio Committee for
Severe Weather Awareness
has information and resources about winter weather
at www.weathersafety.ohio.
gov.
An Autism Awareness program will be presented Thursday, January 22, from 6 to 8
p.m., at the Lucas County
Board of Developmental Disabilities Family First Zone,
1155 Larc Lane. The free program is for parents and professionals.
Participants will be informed about the current criteria for the diagnosis of Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Discussion will address Individual Education Program
(IEP) goals along with strategies and possible methodologies for educating children
identified on the Autistic Spec-
trum. A comparison between
services received through the
Autism Scholarship Program
and public school IEP programs also will be discussed.
The program is sponsored
by the Educational Service
enter of Lake Erie West Parent
Mentor Program, Lucas
County Board of Developmental Disabilities and the
Ohio Coalition for the Education of Children with Disabilities. A certificate for contact
hours is available upon request. To register, call Wendy
Smenner at 419-214-3066 or
send an email to wsmen
ner@esclakeeriewest.org.
Educators promote the power of nature, time outside
In Ohio and across the
nation, the get outside message for children is being
extended to children with
disabilities.
A professional outdoor
educator is asking families
to think about the power of
nature, even as they’re busy
dealing with the schedules
of a child with a disability.
Kathy Ambrosini says there
are social gains to be made
when children spend time
outside of a building, especially for children with
autism spectrum disorders.
“Forming relationships
with humans–very, very important,” she stresses. She
adds that if outdoor time is a
new addition to the schedule, the child should bring
along a favorite item and it’s
best not to have an agenda.
She advises letting the child
lead the way. Older children
may connect with tech devices. She says it’s OK to
bring them along and use
them to take photos, use the
device camera as binoculars,
or look up information
about a bug. She says there
is value in every season, and
the biggest benefits are
often for secondary issues,
such as anxiety and depression. “Stepping outside for
maybe even three minutes,”
she points out “It’s short, it’s
sweet, but the air smells different. The breeze feels different. It’s another kind of
relief.”
As a bonus, she finds that
parents and caregivers experience stress relief, too.

WOOD COUNTY
DOG SHELTER’S
FEATURED DOG
Hey everyone, it's Gretchen
and I hope the holidays were
good for all of you. I'm still
here at the shelter, hoping for
a small miracle...a family who
wants a Hound. I'm really a
sweet girl who would be quite
content curled up in front of a
nice warm fireplace, just
hanging with the family. I've
been here since December 14,
am the longest resident and
have watched all my friends leave with new families; I don't
understand why nobody wants me. I'm about two years old
and weigh 42 pounds; the Friends of Wood County Dog Shelter even promise A
to take care of my vaccinations, heartworm
test and getting spayed if only someone will give me a chance.
You can stop out at the shelter and we can spend some time
together; if you decide I'm the one for you be sure to tell the
deputies that I'm 'sponsored' so arrangements can be made for
my vetting. Sure hope to see you soon...Love, Gretchen.

Ervin is fairly new to the shelter, having
arrived in late November of last year, and
yet he has acclimated fairly well to his new

and quiet, though he goes out of his way to
have his ears scratched. This handsome
grey-and-white guy is approximately 10
years old and would make a wonderful
addition to any home. If you think Ervin is
the right addition to your family, then stop by the shelter and meet

The Toledo Society of the
Archaeological Institute of
America will host an illustrated lecture, “Ship to Shore
and Back Again: the Archaeology of Coasts,” at 7:30
p.m., Friday January 23 at the
Toledo Museum of Art’s Little Theater, 2445 Monroe
Street, Toledo.
The free public lecture
will feature Dr. Benjamin
Ford, assistant professor of
anthropology at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
His topic will be maritime
archaeology and its focus on
watery disasters rather than
the origins and destinations
of ships, sailors and cargo.
While shipwrecks were
important to maritime peoples of the past, mariners
were much more concerned
with the results of successful
voyages. Using a range of examples, Dr. Ford will demonstrate how people in the past
saw the coast as a far more
permeable boundary than
modern archaeologists.
The lecture draws on the
professor’s research, as well
as published sources, to introduce coastal archaeology
and argue that archaeological
investigations that span the
waterline can contribute significantly to understanding
the past.
Park for the event is available behind the museum in
the visitors lot at a cost of $5
unless visitors are museum
members.
For more information, call
James Harrell, program coordinator, at 419-530-2193.

Nominations sought for Jefferson Awards
Nominations for the 2015
Jefferson Awards are now
being taken.
The Jefferson Awards are
known as “an American
Nobel Prize for public service.”
Since its founding in 1972
by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Sam Beard and Senator
Robert Taft, Jr., the Jefferson
Awards has honored outstanding community and public service.
In northwest Ohio, 74
people have been honored for
their outstanding community
service since 2002. Nationally, such luminaries as Elie
Wiesel, Oprah Winfrey, Paul
Newman, and Peyton Manning have received Jefferson
Awards.
Last year’s local winners
were Marcy McMahon, Jay
Mirrow, Phyllis Morton, and
Martha Pituch.
Anyone wishing to nominate an “unsung hero” may
do so at www.toledo
blade.com /jeffersonawards.
A nominee can be anyone
who has undertaken a project
that has a big impact on the
community. Does the project
reach out to many people, encouraging and activating others to get involved? Has it
changed the lives of area citizens for the better? Has the
“unsung hero” overcome personal obstacles to accomplish
this feat?
Nominations will be accepted through January 22.

Buyers must beware when purchasing property
Question: I’m thinking of
buying a home, and my
friend says a house purchase
is a “buyer beware” situation. What does that mean?
Answer: “Buyer beware,” also known as the
doctrine of “caveat emptor,”
is an age-old doctrine. It
means that, if you intend to
buy property, you generally
bear the responsibility for
finding out about the property’s condition before purchasing it. This doctrine
appears to place the entire
risk on the shoulders of the
homebuyer, but only does so
if 1) the condition of the
property is open to observation or discoverable upon
reasonable inspection to the
buyer; 2) the buyer had the
opportunity to examine the
property; and 3) there is no
fraud or wrongdoing on the
part of the seller.
Question: What do I, as
a buyer, have to do about a
defect that may be found
during a home inspection?
Answer: A defect that is
open, observable and can be
discovered through inspection and inquiry is called a
“patent defect.” You, as a
buyer, are responsible for
making efforts to obtain all
information about such obvious defects or problems with
the property. Also, you will
be held responsible and liable for all defects that you
could have discovered upon
inspection, so make sure you
make reasonable efforts to
view and inspect the prop-
erty before buying it.
For example, you may
notice such “patent” obvious
defects as large cracks in the
concrete foundation of the
home, a hole in the roof or
rotten wood on the home’s
front porch. If you decide to
buy the home in spite of
these obvious defects, you
could not later seek damages
or a remedy against the seller
for the costs of repairing
them. The burden is on you
to notice these issues before
buying the property.
Question: What about
defects that are not obvious?
Answer: The home may
have “latent,” defects that are
known to the seller, but cannot be easily discovered by
the buyer or may present a
dangerous condition. They
are hidden in nature. As an
exception to the doctrine of
the caveat emptor/buyer beware doctrine, sellers must
disclose latent defects to the
buyer. This requirement provides protection for the innocent buyer.
Latent defects are more
complex than patent defects.
For example, if a leaking
roof can only be noticed
when it rains, and an inspection shows no evidence of
water damage, this would be
a latent defect. Similarly, if a
septic tank produces a bad
smell occasionally, this
would not be a readily observable problem. In such instances the burden falls on
the seller. If the seller fails to
disclose such issues, the
buyer can seek a remedy, if
necessary, in court.
It is very important to retain a licensed property inspector to inspect the
property before purchase,
and make the purchase
agreement contingent upon
the property passing inspection. An inspector has the
knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to thoroughly evaluate the property
and notice issues you may
never discover until it is too
late.
A seller is also liable for
fraud or misrepresentations
to the buyer. For instance, a
seller cannot lie and tell the
buyer the foundation is in
great condition if the seller
knows it is in need of repair
or in danger of collapsing.
Similarly, a seller cannot tell
a buyer a roof has never had
any leaks if the seller has replaced the ceiling’s drywall
and paint to conceal the fact
that the roof leaks every time
there’s a severe storm.
Question: What is an
“as-is” clause?
Answer: In certain circumstances, a seller does not
have to disclose latent defects. If a real estate agreement contains an “as-is”
clause, then the buyer assumes the risk that latent defects may exist. An “as is”
clause relieves the seller of
any duty to disclose, and
means that the buyer cannot
bring a lawsuit against the
seller for any passive nondisclosure.

Businesses sought to
participate in RBA Fair
The Rossford Business Association has reached a decade
of hosting one of the most
popular events in the city’s
history.
The RBA is now gearing
up for the 10th annual Business Fair, inviting area businesses to participate.
The Business Fair will take
place on Saturday, March 28,
at Owens Community College
in the Student Health and Activities Center from 9 a.m. to
2 p.m.
To receive the discounted
“early-bird” booth registration
fee of $85 for RBA members
and $135 for non-members,
businesses must sign up by
Friday, January 30.
After the early bird date,
the participation fees will increase to $110 for members
and $160 for non-members.
Registrations will be accepted on a first-come, firstserved basis.
“We at the RBA feel great
to have 10 years under our belt
of organizing the Business
Fair,” said Justin Knierim of
Edward Jones Investments,
who is the RBA president and
fair co-chairman.
“It is an event that has
grown both in attendance and
participation. We are proud to
report that we average 70 plus
vendors and more than 1,500
patrons. This is a great opportunity for our vendors to
showcase their goods and
services while supporting the
community at the same time.”
This will be the fourth year
for the Business Fair to take
place at Owens, Mr. Knierim
said.
“The location offers us
handicap accessibility, ample
parking, all vendors in one location, a larger food selection
for our attendees, and a separate area for the entertainment,” he explained.
Mr. Knierim encouraged
businesses to send in their
reservations early to secure a
spot at this year’s fair.
“The economy has been
recovering over the past five
years and with that consumer
spending typically increases,”
he noted. “With that said,
competition is real and as local
businesses we need to be networking and advertising to the
best of our ability.”
“This is a very efficient
and inexpensive way to get in
front of hundreds of people
and let them know what you
have to offer and are about,”
Mr. Knierim explained.
Businesses also are invited
to make a donation to the fair
and become a Gold, Silver or
Bronze sponsor.
The Gold level is $1,000,
Silver is $500 and Bronze is
$250.
Gold sponsors already
committed are Hollywood
Casino and Meijer.
The executive committee
planning the event with Mr.
Knierim includes co-chair
Ivan Kovacevic of the Rossford Community Recreation
Center, Brenda Schwind of
Directions Credit Union, Ray
Miller of Miller Younker
Group, Dr. Angela Jackson of
Quality Family Eyecare, Cindi
Selz of the Rossford Public
Library and Lori Keller of
Farmers and Merchants Bank.
The business fair will feature giveaway items and food
samples for visitors. Entertainment will include Diane’s
Dancing Delights, the Rossford Elementary Band and
Positive Image Dance Studio.
A registration form is
found with this story, or visit

YMCA benefit auction is Jan. 23
The Fort Meigs YMCA
will host its 13th For Your Y
Annual Scholarship Campaign Auction on Friday,
January 23, at Carranor Hunt
and Polo Club in Perrysburg.
“This is always a special,
fun-filled evening that not
only kicks-off the Y’s annual
campaign, but also provides
for a great opportunity to enable us to raise much-needed
funds to provide free or reduced-cost services and programs to members in our
community,” said Jeremy
Zeisloft, Fort Meigs YMCA
board of managers chairman.
Last year’s event included more than 225 local
business, community leaders
and neighbors and raised
more than $56,000 towards
the $145,000 goal set for the
scholarship campaign.
“There is a growing local
need for scholarship assistance, and that need has
never been so high,” said
Sarah Diller, For Your Y
Auction co-chair.
“Every dollar raised
through the campaign is distributed to local families and
individuals for programming, memberships or childcare,” said Ms. Diller. “In
order to grant the community access to these services
and facilities regardless of
their ability to pay, this
year’s annual campaign
fund-raising
goal
is
$157,000.”
The event will feature
dining stations, silent and
live auctions with Jerry Anderson of WTOL-TV, Channel 11, a Twine Photo Booth,
acoustic guitarist Eddie
Molina and dancing to the
Ben Barefoot Band until
midnight. Tickets are $95
per person.
“This event has always
been a really fun and exciting time to kick off the new
year, meet some old and new
friends, have a chance to buy
some awesome auction
items while raising scholarship money for many of our
community members who
might not otherwise have access to the wonderful services and programs of the Y,”
said Rick Thielen, For Your
Y co-chair.
Sponsorship opportunities are available to assist in
meeting the annual campaign goal.
“We value the continued
commitment and support of
all of our sponsors and
friends and will include
them in all of our marketing,
promotion, social media and
website, as well as, featured
during the evening on January 23,” said Mr. Thielen.

sponsorship information,

YMCA branch, at 419-2519622 or visit the website at
