Wood County prosecutor seeksgrant for opiate response team

By Jane MaioloA grant proposal, the

funds of which would beused to battle the opiate cri-sis in Wood County,received approval by thecounty commissioners onAugust 17.

Wood County Prosecu-tor Paul Dobson, requestedpermission to apply for thestate grant at a commission-ers’ meeting two days priorto approval.

If awarded, the fundswill establish an opiateresponse team (ORT) in thecounty, Mr. Dobsonexplained.

“It is no shock to youwhat the opiate situation isdoing in our county, stateand country,” he said.

The prosecutor acknowl-edged losing his stepson 14months ago to addiction.

He believes establishingan ORT is in the best inter-est of the public and thoseafflicted. “It’s importantthat we start saving lives.”

Similar to Lucas Coun-ty’s DART (Drug AbuseResistance Team), the ORTwill guide addicts throughthe recovery process.

But unlike DART, theprogram will not be able toprovide a 24 hour, sevendays a week response.

“I visited their program.They respond immediatelyregardless of the time ofday with the ultimate goalto get the addict to seekhelp.”

Mr. Dobson realizes thecounty can’t offer the samelevel of response as theirLucas County neighbor.

“There is no way wecould fund 24/7, but we’dhave a phone line in placethan anyone could call withthe goal to respond within24 hours,” he said.

The $150,000 grant for atwo-year period would besufficient to fund a full-time deputy, but the prose-cutor asked the commis-sioners to commit to fund-ing the program coordina-tor.

The deputy will beassigned to the prosecutor’soffice, he explained, notingthat the office sees the

Wood County AuditorMichael Sibbersen has an-nounced that the 2017 reap-praisal values have receivedstate approval. County wideresidential properties have re-ceived an average increase of9.67 percent.

Ohio law requires thateach county in the state con-duct a reappraisal every sixyears. Generally in everythird year following a revalu-ation a “triennial update” ofvalues by neighborhood ismandated to better reflect thecurrent market conditions.

Wood County experi-enced a residential net zerovalue change for the 2014Triennial update at the rec-ommendation of the OhioDepartment of Taxation, dueto studies indicating that re-cent sales were close to exist-ing values from the prior2011 reappraisal. As a resultno county wide revision ofvalues has occurred in sixyears.

Mr. Sibbersen indicatedthat it is important to remem-ber that each property is re-viewed individually, so oneparcel may increase morethan the average and anotherless due to location, desirabil-ity and condition. An in-crease in value does notnecessarily compute to acomparable increase in tax.

Ohio Legislation ensuresthat approximately the sameamount is collected each yearfor the voted millage. There-fore, levy millage rates willbe factored up or down by theDepartment of Taxation sothat the total amount col-lected will remain consistentwith the amount originallyvoted.

“This is an important con-cept to understand becausethe reappraisal law is de-signed to equalize all valuesamong taxpayers, not to en-hance revenue for the taxingauthorities. In other wordsthis is not a means of raisingtaxes or lowering taxes, it’s are-balancing of the tax valueburden among individualproperties and classes,” saidMr. Sibbersen.

However, there are sevenschool districts within Wood

County that have reachedtheir state guaranteed 20 millfloor for operating expenses,with the increase in propertyvalues these districts couldexceed the 20 mill floor tomaintain the original votedtax dollars. Thus, an increasein tax dollars could be seenby the residential tax base.The school districts in thisposition to varying degreesare Eastwood LSD, Elm-wood LSD, GibsonburgLSD, Lakota LSD, McCombLSD, Otsego LSD, PatrickHenry LSD.

An estimation of tax can-not be determined at this timedue to the tax levies that arecurrently on the November2017 ballot. The Departmentof Taxation does not releasefactored tax rates until countyelection results have beencertified and until the certifi-cation of values for taxing au-thorities that overlapadjoining counties. All WoodCounty property owners willexperience a 2.95 mil in-crease in the tax rate due tothe reinstatement of theBoard of Developmental Dis-abilities levy for 2018, thislevy was not collected in2017 at the request of theWood County Commission-ers.

In addition to an increasein residential property values,an average zero change wasseen in industrial propertyand a 3.4 percent average in-crease in commercial prop-erty throughout the county.

The county will see a de-crease in agricultural landvaluation for all propertiesenrolled in the CAUV taxsavings program.

The CAUV soil values are

determined by the Ohio De-partment of Taxation and up-dated in conjunction with thecounty’s reappraisal cycle.

The Wood County reap-praisal process was accom-plished over the past two anda half years. All 76,900parcels were reviewed for theeffective appraisal date ofJanuary, 1, 2017.

Sales data from 2014,2015, and 2016, were used toaccomplish the reappraisal.Not all Ohio counties arescheduled for reappraisal inthe same year.

Beginning September 1,2017, property owners mayreview their property valua-tion in person in the Auditor’sOffice on the second floor ofthe County Office Buildingbetween the hours of 8:30 to4:30 weekdays or by callingthe office at 419-354-9173 ortoll free 1-866-860-4140, ex-tension 9173.

The new 2017 value alsowill be available on the inter-net during this open inspec-tion period on the real estatewebsite at http://auditor.co.wood.oh.us. Propertysearches can be done usingowner name, address, or par-cel number. Once the prop-erty is found and selected, theprevious tax value and newtax value will be shown onthe valuation tab. The currentvaluation will be displayedfirst, with the new valuationbelow.

Superintendent contractmajority of addicts whocommit crimes to supporttheir habits.

“I cover all jurisdictions,”he said, adding that as a re-sult, he believes his office isbest suited to administer thecountywide program.

The deputy’s job will beto go out in the field andwork with addicts, transport-ing them to recovery centers.

The ORT coordinator willfind treatment facilities,medication, etc. so thedeputy can transport the per-son needing help.

In addition, the coordina-tor will track thesuccess/failure of each per-son completing rehabilita-tion.

The coordinator will ana-lyze program weaknessesand seek to shore them up.

Included in the programwill be addicts who enter thecriminal justice system.

They will be offered theopportunity to enter a courtdiversion program that ad-dresses the drug/addictionproblem, Mr. Dobson said.

If they admit guilt, but ac-knowledge the crime wasdrug induced, their plea willbe held by the court, andthey will be required to com-plete court-ordered treat-ment, he explained.

Should they successfullycomplete rehabilitation, theplea can be withdrawn anddismissed, Mr. Dobson con-tinued.

However, the plea willnot forgive any monetaryloss suffered by victims, theprosecutor noted. “Therewill be consequences fortheir actions.”

Mr. Dobson said the sher-iff’s office, Bowling GreenState University police de-partment and Ohio HighwayPatrol are interested in theprogram as are area churcheslike Cedar Creek and localmunicipal courts.

“We have over 40 lettersof support,” he added.

When asked for a cost es-timate by the commissioners,the prosector expects thedeputy will cost $77,000 an-nually and the coordinator,$49,000 to $59,000.

“I’m asking you to com-mit to a leap of faith,” he

said.“Will you have the crite-

ria to evaluate the program’ssuccess?” asked Commis-sioner Doris Herringshaw.

“We will be able to ana-lyze the data relative to na-tional averages,” Mr. Dobsonresponded.

He noted that on average,addicts relapse seven timesbefore entering treatment. Tofully recover takes three tofive years.

“It’s not just physical butpsychological,” he added.

Commissioner Dr. TedBowlus agreed, pointing outthat recovery depends on thelength of time the person wasaddicted.

Mr. Dobson’s goal is toplace recovering addicts intoa program that “takes awaytheir excuses to fail. I thinkthat can drive success,” heconcluded.Recycling ProgramAlso at the meeting, the

commissioners agreed tomove forward with a pilotstudy on permanent recy-cling locations in the county.

The solid waste manage-ment district recommendedthe study and four proposedpilot sites in Pemberville,Tontogany, Portage Town-ship and Custar/MiltonTownship.

Expected to begin in2018, the study will take sixto 12 months to complete.

During the study, the re-maining satellite locations,including the PerrysburgTownship program will re-main unchanged. And exist-ing 24/7 sites managed bythe Bowling Green Recy-cling and N.A.T. Transporta-tion of Bradner also will beunchanged.

Through quarterlynewsletters, the solid wastedistrict will update residentson the study’s progress andresults.

continues to be strong sup-port for PerrysburgSchools.

“Moving more percent-age points to ‘A’ shouldcontinue to be a major goalfor the district,” said Mrs.Zickar.

•The school districtshould remain focused onproviding informationthrough the PerrysburgMessenger Journal, televi-sion news, Toledo Blade,word-of-mouth, schoolnewsletter, PerrysburgSchools Spotlight. Also, in2015, the school districtbegan a printed newslettervia U.S. mail–DistrictDashboard.

“Residents asking forthese items in the surveydrove the school districtto allocate resources toprovide them,” added thecommunication director.“Though so social media isnot ranked very high at thispoint, the district’s audi-ence has been growingsince the start of its socialmedia campaign in May2011. Social media also hasa strong role in the word-of-mouth information flow.”

•Administrators shouldconsider these results, par-ticularly the stakeholderopinions in all areas meas-ured in the “strengths”question, as well as the textresponses that were coded,

for strategic planning andgoal setting for the comingschool year.

•In 2012, 51 percent ofregistered voters voted forthe district’s operating levy;53 percent voted for the dis-trict’s bond issue in 2014;66 percent voted for thepermanent improvementlevy in 2015, and 66 per-cent voted for the district’soperating levy in 2016.

“This positive trendcould be at least partiallyattributed–in addition to thevery hard work of the levycampaign committee–to theadditional communicationtools that have been imple-mented in response to theresults of the annual publicopinion survey whichbegan in 2012,” said Mrs.Zickar.

•The district shouldfocus its communicationsnot just on accomplish-ments of the district butalso challenges it is facingto paint a full picture to itsstakeholders.

Perrysburg SchoolsSpotlight, the newsletter thedistrict launched in April2016, aims to tell the every-day stories of excellence bysharing short pieces profil-ing one program, one stu-dent and one employeeeach month.

“As word has gotten out,161 community membershave signed up for Spot-

light,” added the director ofcommunication. “Spotlightalso is sent to a list of about100 community leaders aswell as parents/guardiansand posted to the websiteand social media.”

•Word-of-mouth is animportant method by whichmembers of the public ob-tain information, so it iscritical that the districtmaintain clear communica-tions with parents,guardians and employees atall times, so they are able toshare accurate and timelyinformation with the com-munity.

•Though in the 2015 sur-vey, 95 percent of respon-dents said they have ahigh-speed Internet connec-tion and an overwhelmingmajority of residents haveone or two smartphones,tablets and laptop comput-ers, it should be noted thata desire to be communi-cated with via mail is val-ued slightly less thanprinted newsletters. In fact,the desire for printednewsletters has moved tothe top of the priority listthis year.

“The top source that re-spondents use to obtain in-formation about the schooldistrict is our local newspa-per, Perrysburg MessengerJournal,” said Mrs. Zickar.“Print continues to be anabsolutely necessary com-

ponent in the district’s com-munication with the com-munity.”

Summary“Overall, the commu-

nity’s stakeholders stronglyvalue Perrysburg Schools,but there is always room toimprove,” said Mrs. Zickar.“The district’s administra-tion should consider care-fully the perceptions of thedistrict’s strengths andchallenges when settinggoals for the coming year,in addition to utilizing stu-dent and fiscal performancedata.”

A theme in the analysisof the survey responses isthat the district’s greatestopportunity for increasingstakeholder support is tocontinue to find ways tocommunicate from all areasof the organization, partic-ularly ensuring the commu-nity understands all factorsin the community’s explo-sive growth and what theschool district is doing toaddress it, added the com-munication director.

“This survey shouldcontinue to be conductedannually at the end of eachschool year in order to trackimprovement and to directthe district’s limited re-sources towards addressingthe areas seen by the major-ity of stakeholders as hav-ing the greatest need,”concluded Mrs. Zickar.

Gary and Lori Franks are celebrating 50 years of marriagethis year. The couple met on a blind date in October 1966, Loribeing an RN at Toledo Hospital and Gary working on his en-gineering degree at Toledo University. They were married Sep-tember 9, 1967, in Toledo, at Monroe Street Methodist Churchand honeymooned in the Pocono Mountains of eastern Penn-sylvania. They have lived in Perrysburg since 1969.

They are the parents of Gary Lee (Kelley) Franks of Ox-ford, Ohio, and Kristin (Steve) Phillipps of Perrysburg, and thegrandparents of Lily and Garrison Franks and Jamey and ZoePhillipps.

Lori retired as head nurse–psychiatric ward from ToledoHospital to become a full-time mother following the birth ofKristy in 1973, while Gary pursued a career in engineering,starting at Surface Combustion Corporation and taking earlyretirement as a partner from SSOE Engineers-Architects in1998.

The anniversary celebration started in June with a three-week trip to Napili Kai Beach Resort in Maui with the entirefamily and culminated in a party for friends and family thisweek.

Lori and Gary Frankscelebrate golden wedding anniversary Omaldo Perez, the music

director of Zoar LutheranChurch was recently selectedto join the executive board ofthe Association of LutheranChurch Musicians as directorat large.

Mr. Perez was formally in-stalled in this post at the end ofthe organization’s national bi-ennial conference, held in Min-neapolis, Minnesota in July.

“It was a humbling mo-ment,” he said. “The invitationcame as a complete surprise.”

The Association ofLutheran Church Musicians(ALCM) is a professional or-ganization dedicated to thecause of strengthening the min-istry of music in the Lutheranchurch. With its headquartersbased in Valparaiso, Indiana,ALCM has more than 1,500members from all throughoutthe country.

“ALCM, since its inceptionin 1985, has been and contin-ues to be a platform for con-necting cantors across thecountry with each other. At thesame time its members greatlybenefit because ALCM facili-

tates access to educational re-sources, such as publications,conferences and workshops,while promoting the impor-tance of professional skills forsuccessful ministry in thechurch,” said Mr. Perez. “Iguess I must say somethingabout the word cantor. Cantoris the historical title given tothe person charged with look-ing after the musical life of acongregation. The role of

leader of song and the titlehave a very long history and goall the way back to the ancientpractices of Jewish worship.Just to give you an idea, thetowering figure in westernclassical music, Johann Sebas-tian Bach, is our most famouscantor. We, present day churchmusicians can only be humbledand honored by such com-pany.”

As Mr. Perez begins histhird year of music ministry atZoar Lutheran Church, he alsois eager to contribute to the or-ganization and serve its mem-bers.

“I joined in 2003. Beingpart of ALCM has been invalu-able for my professionalgrowth: it has allowed me tolive into a different understand-ing of my vocation–one basedon a very long heritage ofmusic-making for the church.Being part of ALCM hashelped me better connect to aliving tradition.”

the prescribing of opioidanalgesics for acute pain to aseven-day supply for adultsand a five-day supply for mi-nors. Additionally, the total

morphine equivalent dose(MED) of a prescription foracute pain cannot exceed anaverage of 30 MED per day.The limits do not apply tochronic pain, cancer, pallia-tive care, end-of-life/hospicecare or medication-assistedtreatment for addiction.“The rules have the poten-

tial to reduce the number ofopioids prescribed for acutepain by an additional 109million doses,” said StevenW. Schierholt, executive di-rector of the Ohio Board ofPharmacy.

“These practical limita-tions on opioid prescribingwill build on Ohio’s progressin reducing the overall supplyof pain medications availablefor misuse and addiction.”To help enforce the lim-

ited exceptions to the rulesand enhance data regardingprescribing trends, pre-scribers will be required toinclude a diagnosis or proce-dure code on every controlledsubstance prescription, whichwill be entered into Ohio’sprescription monitoring pro-gram, OARRS. This provi-sion goes into effect onDecember 29, for all opioidprescriptions and June 1,2018, for all other controlledsubstance prescriptions.To assist in the implemen-

tation of the new rules, theOhio Board of Pharmacy de-veloped guidance documentsfor prescribers and pharma-cists. In addition, the Medical

Board of Ohio has developededucational materials for pre-scribers, including a videooverview of the rules.

Wood County Park District is rich in historyEditor’s Note: The fol-

lowing is the first in a seriesof stories on the Wood Coun-ty Park District.

Established as places toescape the urban landscape,public parks began to growin popularity in the mid1800s. Advocated by theAmerican Medical Associa-tion, the first parks werelarge gardens with walk-ways, ponds and a lush greenlandscape.

The concept of an organ-ized city park system beganin Chicago in the 1870s andin 1893, the Massachusettslegislature expanded the ideato create the first regionalpark system.

It wasn’t until 1917 thatOhio created special parkdistricts, the first of whichwas established in Cleve-land. Akron followed suit in1921.

In Wood County, the ideadid not catch on until the1930s when Wood CountyPark District–the sixth oldestpark district in Ohio–wasformed.

Formally established in1934, the park district wascharged with the responsibil-ity of acquiring and preserv-ing open space for the con-servation of naturalresources for future genera-tions.

Ironically, its first chargeproved to be the only parkthat is no longer in the dis-trict’s possession.

In 1928, Mary JaneThurston, a Grand Rapidsschoolteacher, bequeathed 14acres of land to be used as apark.

The park district was cre-ated to administer that landalong the banks of theMaumee River in GrandRapids.

To care for the acreage,the Wood County commis-sioners set aside a smallmillage for the park districtto cover expenses.

In 1937, several yearsafter acquiring the MaryJane Thurston property, thedistrict purchased its secondholding, Otsego Park.

Located north of GrandRapids on the banks of theMaumee, it is now the oldestpark in the district.

The word Otsego means“meeting place” or “place ofrocks,” but the name may becredited to a small town thatstood on the location in1834.

However, the town didnot survive for long, meetingits demise with developmentof the Maumee-Erie Canaland subsequent damupstream in Grand Rapids.

At the turn of the century,the area saw new life whenan amusement park wasbuilt complete with a dancehall, camping, ballpark and

other activities.A small road on the west

side of the park earned a rep-utation for smuggling as itwas used to bring whiskey toand from the county duringprohibition.

The Great Depressionbrought an end to the park,which went bankrupt andwas subsequently remandedto the state.

Today, the 21-acre site–considered to be the mostpicturesque of the countyparks–includes 10 acres ofislands and features Thomp-son Stone Hall (formerlyknown as Otsego Stone Hall)and the Otsego Canoe Liv-ery.

The district’s third acqui-sition did not occur until1951, when William HenryHarrison Park was created.Pemberville Gun Club soldthe 12 acres along thePortage River for $1.

In 1990, the district pur-chased 10 more acres bring-ing the park to 22 acres.

It was named after Presi-dent William Henry Harrisonwho during the War of 1812marched his troops towardDetroit.

Learning of the Americandefeat at Frenchtown, thenGeneral Harrison retreated toPemberville and the banks ofthe Portage where they wait-ed for additional suppliesand the freezing of theswamp before establishingFort Meigs in present dayPerrysburg.

Over the years, the parkswere developed with shel-ters, picnic areas and play-grounds, but costs associatedwith maintenance continuedto rise and became more thanthe small millage set asidefor park operations.

This resulted in the parkdistrict donating theThurston acreage to the statein 1969.

With its additionalresponsibilities for mainte-nance of the former WoodCounty infirmary site, poten-tial operation of the pro-posed Cedar Creek Preserve

and increased demand forpark land, the board realizedthe need for a levy to coverpark operations.

In May 1988, WoodCounty voters approved thefirst park levy, a 10-yearmillage request, breathingnew life into the system.Facilities were improved andprograms expanded.

At the time the levypassed, the district only hadtwo parks and 33 acres. Dur-ing the subsequent 10 years,the park district grew to 513acres and 11 parks.

In 1989, park districtheadquarters were estab-lished on Mercer Road withthe purchase of 0.86 acresfrom Dan Long for $65,000.Seven years later, an addi-tional 2.5 acres was pur-chased from Martin andMargaret Mikhail for $8,355.

In 1990, just one yearafter acquiring the Mercer

Road parcel, the districtaccepted a donation of fiveacres from Dewey Fuller,creating Fuller Preserve at12153 Cross Creek Road,Bowling Green.

Other parks soon fol-lowed. Cedar Creek Preservein Northwood came to thepark district in 1991. The19.7-acre park, previouslyowned by the Wood Countycommissioners was adjacentto the old NorthwesternRegional Water and SewerDistrict office.

The park expanded by

22.5 acres in 1998, whenJohn and Loretta Grieshabersold their acreage for$77,000. Cedar Creekreceived its name from Bigand Little Cedar creekswhich flow through the pre-serve.

In 1992, the park districtadded a park and trailacreage. Buttonwood, situat-ed along the banks of theMaumee River in PerrysburgTownship, was purchasedfrom Dr. George and BettyBlack for $52,000.

Already known to localresidents as Buttonwood, thename remains unchanged.

The 13-mile Slippery ElmTrail was established afterpurchasing the old rail linefrom CSX transportation for$100,000. Slippery Elm runsfrom Bowling Green toNorth Baltimore.

“It received its namebecause the original rails ofthe railroad were made ofslipperly elm logs,”explained Neil Munger, parkdistrict director.

Growth continued in1993 when Bradner Preservein Bradner was acquired for$209,400. The 124-acre siteformerly belonged to Danand Connie Molter.

The park saw two expan-sions over the years with thepurchase of 58 acres fromthe estate of Eleanor Huff-man for $56,000. A portionof the purchase came from aClean Ohio grant.

An additional 2.5 acresincluding a house, garageand shop were obtained for$184,999 from Lynn St.Clair.

Zimmerman School–aone-room schoolhouse builtcirca 1892–came into thepark district’s possession in1993, donated by John andEleanor Zimmerman.

“Mr. Zimmermanrestored the school prior todonating it, and the school isnamed in his honor,” Mr.Munger said.

In 1994, Brown Universi-ty sold 124 acres in Westonto the park board for$89,500. An additional 31.5acres was acquired for$200,000 in 2015 from

Steven Kaltenbach.The 44-acre W.W. Knight

Nature Preserve on WhiteRoad in Perrysburg Town-ship entered the park districtfamily in 1997 with a dona-tion by the family of the lateWilliam Windus Knight.

Expansion of park hold-ings continued following thepassage of a 0.7-millreplacement levy in 1998.

Carter Historic Farm,Carter Road, Bowling Greenbecame part of the park dis-trict in 2000.

Donated by Lyle andSally (Carter) Loomis, it wasnamed after the Carter fami-ly and represents a Depres-sion-era living history muse-um.

Beaver Creek Preserve inGrand Rapids was estab-lished following the pur-chase of acreage from Dr.John and Linda Kane in2005. A portion of the$200,000 cost came from a$100,000 Clean Ohio grant.

In 2005, Lucille R. Knep-per donated through abequest J.C. ReuthingerMemorial Preserve on Ore-gon Road in PerrysburgTownship. It is named afterthe Reuthinger Knepper fam-ily.

By 2008, the park districthad grown to 18 parks withmore than 1,100 acres. Vot-ers again came through forthe park district, approving a1-mill levy.

During the past 10 years,the district has continued toadd acreage, acquiring in2014 Sawyer Quarry NaturePreserve on Lime City Roadin Perrysburg Township.

Donated by the Sawyerfamily, the nature preservebrought to 20 the number ofparks in the system.

And in 2016, Doug andMary Ellen Pratt donatednearly 160 acres at HullPrairie near Roachton Roadin Perrysburg Township tothe district. The acreage willrevert to public propertyupon the couple’s demise.

The Pratt family’s roots innorthwest Ohio date to 1819,when William Pratt becameinterested in the region. Hesubsequently received a landpatent on 80 acres around1825, and over the years thefamily added acreage.

There have been othersmaller acquisitions over theyears including the five-acreCricket Frog Cove in Cygnetand Rudolph Savanna inRudolph. Both are accessibledirectly along the SlipperyElm Trail.

The park district alsomaintains Adam PhillipsPond on Gypsy Lane inBowling Green.

“The pond provides catchand release fishing opportu-nities,” Mr. Munger said.

“Sue Stewart: A SoloExhibit” is on displaythrough October 27, at thePerrysburg MunicipalBuilding, 201 West IndianaAvenue. Viewing hours areMonday through Friday,from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.The exhibit is curated byMain Art-ery.

Abstract ar t is t SueStewart’s solo exhibit fea-tures 30 of her most recentpaint ings. Her “mysticimages” are a blend ofmedia that converges artwith science. The artistskillfully guides inks withadditional media resultingin fascinating liquid likeformations and branchingwithin each image. Herwork reflects her fascina-tion for the liquid shapesfound in agate rocks, bril-liant color in smoky fires,and random designs in oilslicks.

Mrs. Stewart is a retiredart teacher in the ToledoPublic School system.After 30 years of teaching,her children grown and outof the house, she created anew career path as a pro-fessional artist.

Her award winningpaintings have been exhib-ited in numerous area artgal leries. She recentlyret ired from showing in

juried art fest ivals thatincluded Crosby Gardens,Art on the Mall, Rally forthe Arts in Perrysburg andthe Black Swamp Arts Fes-tival to name a few. All ofher works in the MunicipalBuilding exhibit are forsale.

As an art teacher, shetaught a variety of mediaover the years but found lit-tle personal artistic satis-

faction in realism despitemany efforts.

“Realism–portrait, land-scape, s t i l l l i fe–shows‘what is’ as the artist con-veys i t to be. I found apathway to creat ingabstract images. Abstractallows freedom of interpre-tation and is as varied asthe people who view it,”said Mrs. Stewart. “Chil-dren see bubbles, adults see

planets, astral fields, brainsynopsis , and so muchmore than I intended. Mywork is a conversat ionstarter, and I’ve enjoyedthose who have engagedme in conversation at artfestivals and gallery open-ings.”

nity and its venue partnerWay Library announce theopening of the “Animals inArt Exhibition” in the WayGallery downstairs. The col-lection contains works by 55different community artistswith a total of 88 pieces. Ondisplay are a wide variety ofdomestic and wild animalsincluding sea creatures, am-phibians and insects.The show was entered by

both professionals and hob-byists and shows a strongconnection with the animalkingdom as well as a diverserange of local talent. Professional artist

Chelsea Younkman, whoteaches fine art at BowlingGreen University and AdrianCollege, submitted a realisticgraphite of an acrobatic catcalled “Fuzz Butt.” Some of the youngest

artists in the show are EliseShowalter, who submittedher crayon painting of “Pega-sus and Pony,” as well asAvery Retting and PenelopeGiammarco, who have exhib-ited in Prizm’s Youth Invita-tional. Represented in the exhibit

are the wildlife of northwestOhio such as the acrylic mal-lard duck painted by JimBarnhart on glass; the koifish at The 577 Foundationphotographed by KhloeKozal; the humorous “Chan-deer-lier, painting by MaiaWilliams, or the “PerchedGrackle” in watercolor byFinn Jones. Andrew Watkins is ex-

hibiting a water-colored blue-bird, while Debra Lammerscreated a cardinal with fiber.Other avian favorites includethe “Chickadee,” and “Great

Grey Owl,” both done in pas-tels by Joe Rudski, the “GreatBlue Heron” by JoAnnBooth, or an acrylic and ink“Hummingbird” by ZoeLammers. Greg Hitt created a

graphite masterpiece called“Native Landmark,” featur-ing native deer grazing near amassive tree, while artist BobKrohn created a digital pho-tography piece of a squirrelcalled “ Big Red.” RomaineStawowy photographed abeautiful butterfly at rest,while Pam and Bob Vollmarimmortalized a butterfly inflight using fused glass. Northwest Ohioans love

their exotic animals toowhether photographed at thelocal zoo, or from the imagi-nation such as BrookeLimpf’s stunning jellyfishphoto, or pair of zebras titled“I’ve got your back.” Elephants were a favorite

theme by both youth andadults as evidenced by thesubmission of JoAnn Peters,and Sidney Rettig. LawrenceFaulkner is exhibiting a largegorilla acrylic painting called“Jumanji,” while LouiseWhite created a rhino usingan encaustic and mixedmedia. Lions, Tigers and Bears,

were on the minds of many.Brittany Dickson, Will Moss,Zenon Deshawn, and AnnaVoltz submitted works fea-turing lions while David Ri-denour and MichaelDelauter, feature tigers, andOlivia Bibler created a bearusing graphite pencil. JanHackett’s vivid pinkflamingo made with Bruschowatercolor crystals and is tobe admired as well as seafriends by Avery Retting, and

Aiden Jones.Some artists have immor-

talized their pets in appropri-ate settings such as KaitlinRichard who drew a self-por-trait with her cat, or AnnetteJensen who did a pastel por-trait of her German shepherdcalled “Keeper of the Gate.”Laura Shoup-Tokar createdan ink drawing of her feath-ered friend, while MichelleWeller depicted a vivid blueand gold Macaw in watercol-ors. Carolyn Showalter cre-ated a ceramic masterpiece ofher pet, while canine friendswere done by Kathy Grillo,Kaity Kleman and NatalieWolfe in various artistic me-dias. Even the unusual in the

animal kingdom are repre-sented in the show such asLori J. Worline’s Hedgehog,Virginia Luce’s gila monster,and Ian Jones “Boots R Madefor Walking” a mixed mediapiece in which a centipedewears many pairs of boots. On the whimsical side,

Candace Hardy createscarousel animal paintingswith Prismacolor pencil, Dar-lene Krohn creates pen andink collages of fanciful im-ages, and John Hoesman cre-ated a fantasy piece of a boyriding on a great blue heron.Local artist Amy Fell has cre-ated colorful handmade foldout books featuring Prepos-terous Pets and Animals. Some northwest Ohioans

have captured images of fa-vorite animals during theirtravels such as Larry Grime’s“Florida Gallinule,” J.D.Jensen’s Panda’s from China,or Handsome Jack by KellyYetter. Perhaps Kaitlynn

Grey observed her “wilddogs,” from a safe distance.Almost all artistic medias

are included in the exhibi-tion. Several artists–includ-ing Michele A. Humes,Kathy Grillo and KathrynHousepian–created art usingdigital media which has theability to mimic most majortypes of medias such as col-ored pencil, pastels and oils. Ms. Housepian’s “Little

Buddy,” digital paintinglooks as if it is created in pas-tel, while Ms. Hume’s realis-tic depiction of a rottweilerpup required 28 hours withelectronic media to complete,rivaling the time it wouldhave taken if created in actualcolored pencils. Ms. Grillo’s dog paintings

also are completed digitallyand then printed. Among the entries are

many favorite local photogra-phers, including StephanieCoil. The exhibit will run

through October 28. Manyentries are available to pur-chase.

Ohio Attorney GeneralMike DeWine and BowlingGreen State University Presi-dent Mary Ellen Mazey haveannounced that researchersdetermined household cleanerOxiClean is proven scientifi-cally to clean up fentanylspills. Scientists with the Ohio

Attorney General’s Center forthe Future of Forensic Scienceand the BGSU chemistry de-partment performed an exper-iment with OxiClean VersatileStain Remover, a householdcleaning product, and certifiedthrough instrumental analysisthat it can be used effectivelyto clean up fentanyl spills. The product contains

sodium percarbonate, a chem-ical which, in previous re-search, had been shown tooxidize and break down fen-tanyl, a deadly drug often usedillegally by heroin addicts.“This new scientific re-

search is great news forOhio’s first responders, andresponders across the nation,as we are all forced to dealwith the day-to-day reality ofthe opioid epidemic,” OhioAttorney General MikeDeWine said. “This is the kind of re-

search that can make a differ-ence for Ohioans, which weplan to do more of at the Cen-ter for the Future of ForensicScience, alongside our amaz-ing scientific partners atBGSU.”The Bureau of Criminal

Investigation (BCI) sent out abulletin to more than 900Ohio law enforcement agen-cies, as officers at crimescenes often come into acci-dental contact with fentanyl,which can be deadly for them.The bulletin explains

cleanup instructions, includ-ing supplies needed andproper protective gear thatshould be worn.The research was con-

ducted by Dr. Travis Worst,BGSU instructor of forensicscience, and Noah Froelich, aBGSU junior majoring inchemistry and forensic sci-ence.“This project perfectly il-

lustrates what we envisionedwhen we partnered with theattorney general to create thiscenter,” President Mazey said.“Together, we are provid-

ing our faculty and studentswith tremendous opportuni-

ties to conduct valuable re-search that has real-worldbenefits for law enforcement.”Dr. Jon Sprague, director

of the Center for the Future ofForensic Science, added, “Weplan on publishing our re-

search findings, but wewanted to get the word outabout our scientific researchas quickly as possible to helpthose who have to clean upthis very dangerous sub-stance.”

Congressman Bob Lattarecently met with industryleaders to discuss the bene-fits that the Internet ofThings (IoT) provides, theobstacles to integrating it intheir operations, and howfederal policy is affectingIoT at an event today held atOwens-Illinois in Perrys-burg. Mr. Latta is chairmanof the Energy and CommerceSubcommittee on DigitalCommerce and ConsumerProtection which has over-sight of IoT issues includingcybersecurity. Recently, thecommittee held an IoTShowcase at the Capitolcomplex in Washington,D.C.“The Internet of Things is

already changing the way welive, work, and interact,” saidCongressman Latta. “Withsuch rapidly changing tech-nology, it’s important to stayengaged with manufacturersand businesses that are im-plementing IoT into their op-erations to find out how it’sbenefiting their company and

the barriers they still need toovercome. IoT has the capac-ity to greatly boost our econ-omy, and Ohio is taking fulladvantage of this innovation.Today’s event will be helpfulas we develop the properlong-term approach towardthis cutting-edge technol-

ogy.” Congressman Latta also

led the Committee’s Internetof Things Working Grouplast year with Rep. PeterWelch of Vermont. The Inter-net of Things is technologythat uses connectivity totransmit and analyze data on

objects that traditionallyaren’t connected to the web.This technology can be bene-ficial in a number of sectorslike health care, manufactur-ing, agriculture and others.One study estimates that IoTwill add $14 trillion to theworld economy by 2030.
