Waterville Township Trustees OK Plats

For The Crimson Hollow Development

BY MELISSA GARRETT

MIRROR REPORTER

The Waterville

Township trustees gave final

approval for the remaining

plats of the Crimson Hollow

subdivision at their meeting

on August 11.

The development

includes 10 plats located

between Stitt and Dutch

Roads.The building of the sub-

division began several years

ago with plat one, which is

on Stitt Road.

Plats one through six

are in Monclova Township

and plats seven through 10

are in Waterville Township.

The Waterville

Township zoning commis-

sion first approved the plans

five years ago after requiring

the developer to increase the

size of the lots to 16,000

square feet and add green

space.The homes in the subdi-

vision are valued at approxi-

mately $300,000 each.

The trustees said they

did not have much choice at

this point but to approve the

plans since the process start-

ed so long ago and prior

approval was granted.

The trustees decided to

have the zoning board review

the plans again at their

August 16 meeting to be sure

there have not been any

changes since approval was

last given.

The approval of the

trustees is dependent upon a

satisfactory review by the

zoning board.

In other business, the

trustees:

� Discussed the possibility

of water service being extend-

ed to Sautter’s Food Center

from the village of

Whitehouse with owner Bob

Sautter. He said he asked the

Whitehouse council about

water service in April, but he

has not been contacted about

moving forward yet.

The village said it need-

ed the approval of the Lucas

County commissioners first.

Sautter said he has to

sign a letter of intent to

annex if his land ever

becomes contiguous with the

village, but he does not wish

to annex. He has to pay for

the water line and does not

plan to have a sewer line

installed. He is seeking the

water service to allow him to

expand his building and

decrease his fire insurance

rates. The trustees said they

would support Sautter and

help him in any way neces-

sary.

� Heard a report from

Police Chief Bonnie

Hearndon stating Lucas

County gave the department

authority to pull political

signs that are in the road

right of way.

Hearndon also reported

two additional speed limit

signs will be posted on

Winslow Road in an effort

to deter speeders, especially

with school coming soon.

� Approved the repair and

drainage of a driveway on

Alscot Lane due to a tile in

the road right of way that is

causing damage. The cost for

the repair will be $1,000.

� Approved the removal of

two dead trees in Whitehouse

Cemetery at a cost of $1,775.

� Heard a report from

trustee Les Disher stating the

Waterville Village Council

supported the township in

restricting pets at Wakeman

Cemetery. The village will

purchase two signs stating

there are no pets allowed and

the township will post them

at the entrances of the ceme-

tery.

� Heard a report from zon-

ing inspector Eric Gay stat-

ing there have been 21 per-

mits issued to date this year.

Gay also said he ordered red

stickers to place on signs that

are in the right of way to give

the owners a chance to move

them before they are

removed by the township.

� Heard a report from solic-

itor Tim Brown regarding a

request made by the home-

owners’ association of

Springbrook Farms. The

association said people from

outside of the development

have been fishing in their

private lake by a bridge on

Obee Road.

Brown said the people

may not be standing on pri-

vate property, but once they

cast their lines, they are fish-

ing on private property. He

will research the issue to see

if what the people are doing

constitutes a trespass and

what can be done to enforce

the issue if necessary.

Hearndon said past

trustee boards decided the

lake was fed by a public

creek, so the lake was a pub-

lic waterway. Brown said he

would research that issue as

well. Brown also reported on

his research regarding the

township’s responsibility

toward road drainage. The

township has a duty to main-

tain roadways so they do not

flood and can ask property

owners to remove obstruc-

tions such as improperly

constructed driveway cul-

verts. The township does not

have legal authority if there

is proper drainage and no

Hood Powers Black Over Gold In All-Star Football Game

BY ANDREW ROWERMIRROR SPORTSFormer Whitmer run-

ning back Edwin “Petey”Hood showed why he was a

Division I college signee lastFriday as he led the Black

squad to a 21-7 victory overthe Gold squad in the 14th

Annual Regional All-StarFootball Game.Despite a steady rain

that contributed to no fewerthan a dozen fumbles on the

night, the future BowlingGreen State University

Falcon racked up 97 yardson 12 carries and scored a

pair of touchdowns in hislast high school game.The 5-foot-11-inch 190-

pounder made – hands-down – the biggest differ-

ence in the game.After a 20-minute delaydue to lightning, which also

caused a malfunction in thePerrysburg scoreboard and

forced both the time andscore to be kept by the refer-

ees, the game got off to aslow start as the first quarter

was ruled by fumbles.The Black squad’s open-ing possession ended when

Southview’s Kelley Rowewas intercepted by Holgate’s

Ryan Fruth.The Black defense

responded by forcing athree-and-out punt with a

sack by Southview line-backer Bubba Valdez,

Woodmore defensive endChris Stone and Springfield

tackle Nick Johnson.The two teams did notfare any better in their sec-

ond possessions as the Blacksquad fumbled the snap on

three straight occasions andGold quarterback Danny

Baker was again sacked –

this time by Evergreendefensive end Brent Simon

and Anthony Wayne line-man Jordan Pingle.While the quarter

ended on another Blackfumble, Hood and Rowe

orchestrated a 57-yard drivethat ended in the first score

of the contest.Rowe rushed for 16 ofthose yards, while Hood ate

up 34 more – and the touch-down – on five carries.

Ayersville’s Sergio

Manriquez added the extrapoint and the Black squad

jumped out to a 7-0 lead.With just under 4:00

left in the half, Gold threat-ened with a 56-yard bomb

from Baker to Maumee wide

receiver Steve Sellers and anensuing interference call that

put the team on the Black15-yard line.

Amazingly though,Springfield

linebackerTaylor Taube came up with a

circus interception on thegoal line, allowing his team

to take to the locker roomwith the shutout intact.Much like the first

quarter, the third proved tobe a defensive battle as Baker

was sacked another twotimes – by Pingle, Patrick

Henry tackle Tyler Hammand Whitmer linebacker

Greg Schermbeck.Like the first though,the third quarter ended with

the Black squad threatening.

After just a trio of runsby Hood and a pair of

Dimetrius Jones (Ayersville)completions to Anthony

Wayne wide receiverBrandon Cramer and

Central Catholic’s DustinDauer, the team entered the

fourth on Gold’s 10-yardline.

Four plays later, Jonesscored on a quarterback

sneak and Manriquez’spoint-after pushed the score

to 14-0 in Black’s favor.The team then lookedto be putting the game away

when Edgerton quarterbackAndrew Stotz was intercept-

ed by Evergreen free safetyKyle Keeler, but Gold

responded with a sack by

Rossford’s Josh Heidebrink,Perrysburg defensive end

Chris Roster and Edgertontackle Derek Zimmer, forc-

ing a Black punt.Riding this newfoundmomentum, Baker connect-

ed with Woodward’s SteveColeman for 35 yards and

Sellers for another 32 beforehooking up with Toledo

Christian split end SteveWhitlow for a 40-yard

touchdown strike. AsRossford’s Eric Soltis added

the extra point to cut theBlack lead down to just

seven points, the complexityof the game immediately

changed.Undaunted though,

Rowe handled the ensuing

on-side kick and, three playslater, Hood exploded for a

40-yard touchdown scamper– his second of the night.

Manriquez added the extrapoint to give his team a bit

of breathing room.With just 2:17 remain-ing in the game, the Gold

squad had little hope ofmaking up the difference.

After completing passesto Woodward’s Khalfani

Rice and Woodward’s SteveColeman, Baker suffered his

fifth sack of the game asWoodmore defensive end

Chris Stone put an exclama-tion point on the tremen-

dous defensive performanceby the Black team.Hood joined Gold

squad member and Libbeydefensive tackle Josh

Valentine as being voted co-Most Valuable Players.

Valentine recorded six tack-les on the night.Other standout con-

tributors for the Black teamincluded Cramer (60 yards

on four receptions), St.Francis running back Ryan

Kersey (27 yards on five car-ries), Simon (two sacks),

Stone (five tackles and asack), Pingle (four tackles

and two sacks) and Taube(four tackles and an inter-

ception).In addition to

Valentine, the Gold squadsaw outstanding perform-

ances from Sellers (99 yardson six receptions), Whitlow

(57 yards and a touchdownon two receptions), St.

John’s defensive end AustinMayberry (seven tackles),

Woodward linebacker

Nicholas Stamper (six tack-les) and Roster (four tackles

and a sack).

Prudence Lamb Celebrates Her Centennial BirthdayBY LAUREN C. OSTBERG

MIRROR REPORTER

After 100 years, Maumeematriarch Prudence Lambstill knows how to have agood time.

“We threw quite a party,didn’t we?” she laughed,commenting on the surprisebirthday festivities arrangedby her daughter, PriscillaSchwier.

There were numerousguests, as Mrs. Lamb’s ebul-lience and activism led herto encounter and befriendmany people. More than 100attended the party, but sheassumes that “a lot of peoplegot missed.”

Many guests, such asMaumee Valley HistoricalSociety member MartyWendler, lauded Mrs. Lamb

for her commitment to localhistorical projects.

“She’s so energetic, deter-mined and dedicated to hercauses,” Wendler said, not-ing that Mrs. Lamb was “thedriving force” behind theestablishment and preserva-tion of the Wolcott HouseMuseum.

The Wolcott Houseproved to be a focal point ofMrs. Lamb’s numerousinterests, including history,antique collection, garden-ing and the activities of St.Paul’s Episcopal Church.

Rita Hull, the lastdescendant of Judge JamesWolcott who actually livedin the existing WolcottHouse, left the house as agift to St. Paul’s in the hopethat the church would makeit a museum. Unfortunately,the project came with a$60,000 price tag, which thechurch simply could notafford.

Mrs. Lamb, then in hermid-60s, rallied both theMaumee and the NorthwestOhio Historical Societiesbehind the cause. She alsoled an army of volunteerswho held fund-raisers andvolunteered labor, eventual-ly reducing the cost of theWolcott House restorationto $15,000.

She also rummagedabout the East Coast, uncov-ering the history of theWolcott House and itsinhabitants. No doubt, herpost-secondary education atSmith College inMassachusetts helped famil-iarize her with both histori-cal research methods and theNew England area.

Mrs. Lamb continued tobe involved in the WolcottHouse, filling the Gilbert

Flanagan Farmhouse at thecomplex with periodantiques and researching theappropriate furnishings, col-ors, déécor and tools for the19th-century home.

She has also served theMaumee Valley HistoricalSociety as president, vicepresident and secretary overa span of about 40 years, andfounded and held every

office in the Wolcott HouseGuild. Currently, she is atrustee emerita on the his-torical society’s board.

Mrs. Lamb also has beeninvolved in the MaumeeGarden Club for more than45 years.

“One of her dreams wasto have a period garden,”Wendler explained, and thePrudence Lamb Historic

Garden, a 90th birthdaypresent, fulfilled that dream.The garden, located betweenthe Talking Turtle Shop andthe Wolcott House, is filledwith flowers that would havegrown in the area during the1840s.

“There’s a lot of thoughtpoured into that garden,”said Chuck Jacobs, former

BY LAUREN C. OSTBERGMIRROR REPORTER

Members of theMaumee community are atno loss for words when itcomes to describing PrudenceLamb, who recently celebrat-ed her 100th birthday.

“A lot of superlativescome to mind,” said ChuckJacobs, former curator/execu-tive director of the WolcottHouse Museum.“Extraordinary, for starters,but I’m sure everyone else hasalready told you that.”

A lifetime of accom-plishments and character gavefriends, family and colleaguesplenty of material to workwith.

“She’s really been aprominent figure in theMaumee community forquite some time, has beengenerous throughout thecommunity and a benefac-tress to many, including theWolcott House, the historicalsociety and area gardenclubs,” Maumee Mayor TimWagener said.

Perhaps her greatestaccomplishment was therestoration and developmentof the Wolcott House. It wasMrs. Lamb’s dedication and

relentless energy that helpedpreserve this piece of localhistory.

“She’s been such aninspiration to people in termsof her knowledge of historyand convincing people to vol-unteer or become members,”Jack Hiles, a longtimeHistorical Society memberand business consultant forthe Wolcott House Complex.

“Certainly Mrs. Lambhas a lot of brains and resolvein her personality; that driveand energy defines her,”Jacobs said.

Her daughter, PriscillaSchwier, agreed.

“When she focuses inon something, she’s very stub-born about it; she makes sureit’s successful,” Schwier said.

Mrs. Lamb has dedicat-ed her energy, full force, tohistorical, environmental andhumanitarian causes.

“She’s very quiet aboutit, though,” Schwier said.“She’s kind of a spark plug.She’s this tiny woman – lessthan five feet tall – and youdon’t realize the tremendousamount of energy and powershe’s exerting.”

The “quietness” of Mrs.Lamb’s drive may be theproduct of humility. She

seems to expect her toweringcontributions to remainunnoticed. When comment-ing on her 100th birthdayparty, Mrs. Lamb said, “Iappreciate it all, and I’m notsure I deserved it.”

She seemed surprised tobe honored with the MaumeeRiver Award at the 2002Hometown Heroes banquet,despite her work in the com-munity.

Some of Mrs. Lamb’scontributions are containedin the little things, in herattention to detail in decorat-ing the Flanagan Farmhouse,in her social interactions andin her dedication.

Jacobs recalls her com-mitment to the historical gar-den named in her honor atthe Wolcott House.

“In the dead heat ofsummer – the thermometerwas pushing 100 – and Mrs.Lamb was out there weedingthe garden,” he said. “I could-n’t believe that she’d be outthere in that weather.

“Sometimes I find ithard to keep up.”

Mrs. Lamb carried thesame energy and commit-ment into her personal andsocial life.

Volunteers, Leaders And Organizations Named 2018 General’s Heroes

BY KAREN

GERHARDINGER

MIRROR REPORTER

Throughout the Anthony

Wayne community, individ-

uals are volunteering their

time and talents, finding

solutions instead of prob-

lems, achieving goals and

overcoming obstacles with

grace.

The Mirror asked readers

to nominate those who fit

that bill to be recognized for

their efforts in the sixth

annual General’s Heroes.

Those being recognized

are listed in alphabetical

order.

Anthony Wayne Area

Arts Commission

The nonprofit Anthony

Wayne Area Arts Commis-

sion (AWAAC) brings the

arts, in all its f

orms, to our

area, said Ric Roach. Board

members Emilee Roach, Jo

McElheney, Bob Conley,

Brittany Miller, Asa

Danekind, Lisa Exner, Laurie

Swyers and M’Lissa

Prottengeier are hardworking

volunteers who develop,

organize and promote

numerous art-related events

throughout the year.

The AWAAC’s signature

event is Art and About: Jim

White Memorial Paint Out.

The three-day plein air

event invites talented, local

artists to set up and paint

throughout the city – gen-

erating excitement among

the public, which is encour-

aged to watch the artists in

action. Finished paintings

are displayed at the

Waterville Branch Library

and compete for awards

including the People’s

Choice Award.

The AWAAC also:

• Develops and manages

art classes for both adults

and children. Led by area

artists, these classes include

glass mosaics, jewelry mak-

ing, felting, flower arranging,

paper crafts, culinary arts,

songwriting and literary

themes. Classes are held at

Waterville Branch Library

and StoryPoint.

• Recruits and organizes

all the artists and musicians

for Food Truck Tuesdays at

Conrad Park.

• Organizes musical

events such as the Buskerfest

held annually in Whitehouse.

• Designs and plants the

downtown Waterville side-

walk containers every spring

in collaboration with the city

of Waterville and Wardell’s

Garden Center.

• Coordinates the Rue des

Artistes (fine arts area) of the

annual Roche de Boeuf

Festival.

• Organizes artist forums

to promote collaboration

and networking opportuni-

ties. • Partners with other com-

munity organizations like

the Waterville Branch

Library, StoryPoint, the

Anthony Wayne Regional

Chamber of Commerce and

the Waterville Chamber of

Commerce.

• Created the Make the

Mosaic project. In 2013,

AWAAC conducted a com-

munity-based project in

which citizens of all ages

helped to create a 13-by-6-

foot glass mosaic mural that

is on permanent display at

the Waterville Branch

Library, funded by Friends of

the Library.

AW Community

Food Ministry

The Anthony Wayne

Community Food Ministry

(AWCFM) serves 75 to 100

families, providing nonper-

ishable and fresh foods to

those in need with twice-a-

month distribution at

Waterville Community

Church.

At least three area church-

es sponsor the nonprofit

organization – Waterville

Community Church, First

Presbyterian and Zion

Lutheran – but several others

in the Anthony Wayne area

support the mission by pro-

viding food, monetary dona-

tions and volunteers.

“AWCFM serves all fami-

lies in need, regardless of

where they live. It is a place

where the recipients find car-

ing and respect for all who

receive,” said Julie Cunning-

ham. Volunteers a

ssist in order-

ing, picking up and sorting

the food. Others help each

family in registering, choos-

ing their food and carrying it

to their vehicle. Middle and

high school students donate

their time as part of their

community service require-

ment. Other volunteers clean

the church following each

distribution.

The Anthony Wayne Community Food Ministry is made up of volunteers from throughout the Anthony Wayne area. Using donations from

throughout the community, volunteers distribute food twice a month at Waterville Community Church. MIRROR PHOTO BY KAREN GERHARDINGER

Generals Basketball Team Remains Perfect In NLL With Win Over Cougars

BY J. PATRICK EAKEN MIRROR SPORTS Five Anthony Wayne play-

ers reached double figures to

defeat Southview, 73-67, in

Northern Lakes League action

at home last Friday. Senior guard Max Denman

and senior forward Max

Bradfield had 15 points

apiece, junior guard Bobby

Miller came off the bench to

score 14 and junior guards

Kyle Ray and Zac Szul added

11 points each to lead the

Generals. “Five people in double fig-

ures – that’s huge for us,”

Denman said. “That means

we’re spreading the ball. “That means nobody is

playing selfish, everybody is

playing for each other and

nobody cares about them-selves as long as the outcome

is good – as long as we win the

game.” AW is now 7-2 overall and

improved to a perfect 4-0 in

the NLL, while the Cougars

fell to 4-4 and 2-2. “We were very focused this

week. Coach said we had a

very good week of practice,”

Denman said. “I think we

were all ready, we were all

focused and this was going to

have to be a big win for us if

we want to compete for a

league championship.” The Generals shot 51 per-cent from the field and made

13-of-20 free throws, relying

on a 27-point third quarter to

pull away from Southview. The Cougars missed 46 of

their 74 field goal attempts,

but got 36 points and nine

rebounds from senior guard

Tehree Horn. “We did a good job of con-taining them. I think the guys

did a great job at playing their

roles exactly,” said AW coach

Josh Arthur. “They have a

great scorer in Horn and we

knew that coming in. “Horn played really well to

score 36 points, but at the

same time, everything ran

through him and we did what

we needed to do with all the

other guys. We tried to keep

(them) in check and we did a

really nice job.” Southview went on a 7-2

run to close the first quarter,

taking a 17-9 lead after the

first 8:00, but that advantage

would quickly disappear. Bradfield scored in transi-

tion on an assist from Ray

with 3:03 remaining in the

first half to give Anthony

Wayne its first lead, 22-21,

and the Generals went into

halftime on top, 28-25. In the third, Miller hit two

3-point shots and Szul,

Denman and junior forward

Bryce Boyer added one trey

apiece as AW outscored the

Cougars 27-13 to take a 55-38

lead heading into the final

stanza. Horn scored with 1:04

remaining to bring it back to

a two-possession game at 68-62, but AW hit 10 of its 14

free throws in the final stanza

to hold onto the victory. “We finished well, especial-

ly in that third quarter,”

Arthur said. “Twenty-seven

points is a good quarter and I

don’t think they scored very

much either.” The Generals, who had 37

rebounds to Southview’s 35,

got seven boards from

Bradfield and five caroms

each from Miller and

Denman. Cougars junior

Bailey Wietrzykowski led all

players with 11 boards. “We played well,” Arthur

said. “We rebounded better in

the first half, but if we take

care of that, take care of the

ball and execute down the

stretch, things will go well for

us.” Defensively for the

Generals, Szul had two steals

and Denman blocked three

shots; while on offense, Boyer

scored three points and senior

forward Nick Smith added

two. Senior guard Tyson King

paced the Cougars with 18

points, including three treys in

the first quarter and a fourth

3-pointer in the final stanza. Wietrzykowski scored six

points, sophomore forward

Grant Pahl added four and

sophomore Eric Hollar con-tributed three points for

Southview. The Cougars committed

just four turnovers to AW’s

11, and they were 5-of-6 from

the charity stripe. AW returned to NLL

action on Tuesday, traveling

to Napoleon (4-7, 0-4). On

Friday, the Generals travel to

Sylvania for a game against

unbeaten Northview (10-0, 4-0) in a showdown of the two

first-place teams.

Maumee City Administrator Is Placed On Paid Leave As New Rounds Of Ethics Investigations Are Launched

Vol. 40, No. 2 Issue No. 1658 1 Section - 24 Pages $1.25 January 10, 2019

REFLECTING LIFE ALONG THE MAUMEE RIVER SINCE 1980

MIRROR PUBLISHING CO., INC. - 113 W. Wayne St. • Maumee, Ohio 43537 • ph. 419-893-8135 • fax 419-893-6397 • www.themirrornewspaper.com

BY NANCY GAGNET MIRROR REPORTER

In a tense, two-hour coun-cil meeting on January 7, Maumee Mayor Richard Carr temporarily passed leadership to council president Tim Pauken, who announced that a vote on whether to fire city administrator John Jezak would be postponed.

Carr stepped aside in his duties as mayor relative to that particular issue because he is named in an ethics investigation complaint that began last summer and has resulted in a request from Pauken among others to remove Jezak from office.

Council was expected to vote on the call for Jezak’s termination. Instead, Pauken said that Jezak had been placed on paid administrative leave that afternoon, pending further investigation.

Pauken will ask Spengler Nathanson Law – the outside firm that provides insurance services to the city – to review the situation. According to Pauken, that action is needed because Maumee Law Director Beth Tischler has advised him that she does not have the scope of knowledge necessary to provide a full and complete legal opinion relative to

Jezak’s potential termination. Pauken, however, did not make a motion during the meeting to vote on the issue to hire the outside firm.

Jezak, who had remained

relatively silent on the matter, issued a 20-minute statement at the conclusion of the meet-ing, blasting some city offi-cials for “blatantly inappro-priate behavior.”

In the meantime, council will continue sorting out the fallout from an ethics com-plaint involving several items, including the promo-tion of Susan Noble to the position of human resources commissioner, the sale of public property to Mon-nette’s, the upkeep of the East Mews parking lot and a reduction of hours of two city employees. While Squire, Boggs and Patton – the out-side law firm tasked with con-ducting the investigation – had completed their work, council voted on Monday to continue looking into the complaint by sending it to the appropriate state agencies.

Council also approved paying the firm $90,267 in legal fees for completing the review. Council members Dave Kissinger, Tom Wag-ener, John Boellner and Brent Buehrer voted in favor of that action while council members Scott Noonan, Tim Pauken and Tracey Elmore voted against it.

Council members Boell-ner, Kissinger, Wagener and Noonan also voted in favor of sending the complaint to the state. All four approved sending to the Ohio Auditor’s Office matters involving the promotion and pay provided to the human resources commis-sioner and the continued maintenance of the East Mews parking lot. They also voted to send to the Ohio Ethics Commission the mat-ter involving possible con-flict of interest related to Mayor Carr and council member Buehrer’s involve-ment with the sale of the city-owned property in the 200 block of Conant Street.

Council members Elmore

and Pauken opposed that action and Buehrer abstained from voting on the issue.

Elmore believes the issues in question could have been reasonably addressed in-house with little or no cost to the city.

“The collateral damage to good people and their reputa-tion with the release of the complaint was apparently not enough,” she said. “No mat-ter what or who you believe, the innocent victim in this has been the trust of the peo-ple and it must be restored and sending this to the public ethics commission is not the way to do it.”

Mayor Carr agreed, and said that the only reason the complaint is being forwarded to the state is because those against him are looking for a different outcome.

New Maumee Ambulance Shows Its Panther Pride In December, the Maumee Fire Division took delivery of the “Medic 94,” a new ambulance designed to serve the Maumee EMTs and paramedics well into the future. Braun Manufacturing built the vehicle at a cost of approximately $212,800. It replaces a 2005 model. The new ambulance follows specifications set forth by an apparatus committee, which spent two years creating the design.

Herron’s Indoor, Outdoor Furnishings Are Amish-Made In The USA

BY KAREN GERHARDINGER MIRROR REPORTER Rob Herron prides him-

self on putting his customers

to sleep. Opening the door to the

Dream Room at the back of

Herron’s Amish Furniture,

the owner of the Napoleon

family business revealed a

fully outfitted bedroom with

a TV, ambient light and

sound system. “We want our customers

to be confident that they’re

choosing the right mattress,

so in here they can try one in

privacy before buying. We’ll

bring in any mattress they

want,” Rob said. Like all of the indoor and

outdoor furnishings at

Herron’s, the 20 different

quality mattress sets are all

Amish-made. Yes, Rob conceded, peo-ple equate Amish work with

well-built furniture, but it’s

so much more. “The Amish share our

core values of excellence,

integrity, family and faith,”

he said. While the family business

was founded in 1986 as an

antique store, by the next

decade, a solid partnership

with the Amish was formed,

for several reasons. “It’s much better crafts-manship, and you can cus-

tomize everything,” Rob

said. “At a big box, you can’t

pick out the wood, color,

hardware or even size.

Customization is huge for

us, because not all homes are

the same size or style.” While Amish furniture

used to be known for its tra-ditional styles, today’s

designs feature clean lines in

both contemporary and tra-ditional looks, whether in the

kitchen, living room, dining

room, bedroom, home

office, nursery or patio. The custom-made kitchen

cabinets feature self-close

drawers and doors that are

flush-fit, with hundreds of

options for wood, style and

hardware, all in a 10- to 12-week turnaround, including

installation. Bring in dimen-sions and ideas from maga-

zines or Pinterest and the

designers will get to work. “We’ve done cabinets for

schools, colleges, city build-ings and businesses as well as

residential,” Rob said. Herron’s is a destination.

With dining table sets, bed-room collections, home

office furniture, entertain-ment stands and end tables,

Herron’s has an enormous

inventory of furnishings that

makes it worth the drive. All furniture is stain-resis-

tant to hazards such as water

glass rings, alcohol or finger-nail polish remover. “Amish craftsmanship is

high quality and value, not

particle board. It’s all made

in the USA,” Rob said. The Amish workmanship

that goes into wood furnish-ings applies to upholstery

and mattresses, where quality

materials and methods are

used to ensure a solid prod-uct that will last for decades.

kitchen cabinets and a Mission dining set. Custom cabinets, available in hundreds of

design variations, can be made and installed within 10-12 weeks. MIRROR PHOTO BY KAREN GERHARDINGER

Army veteran Charles Rickard, assisted by son Chris Rickard, reaches out to one of the hundreds of people lining the path for veterans entering the Grand Aire hangar after arriving back in Toledo in the evening. During morning festivities, Rickard called his service “the best thing I ever did,” noting that it led him to his German wife of nearly 70 years.

After an eight-month con-

struction project that began

in early April, St. Luke’s

Hospital celebrated the grand

opening of its new Heart and

Vascular Center.

On December 2, a ribbon-

cutting event took place to

commemorate the $12.5 mil-

lion state-of-the art facility,

which offers advanced care to

patients with vascular and

heart problems. The 8,500-

square-foot space includes a

hybrid operating room and

electrophysiology lab to pro-

vide the highest level of criti-

cal vascular and cardiac care.

“This has been a massive

project,” said Dan Wakeman,

hospital president and CEO.

For patients in this area,

the new center provides life-

changing services closer to

home, especially for those

with head or heart trauma, he

said. The services provided at

the center include cardiac

and vascular surgery, non-

invasive interventional med-

ical cardiology, integrated

cardiology and intervention-

al radiology.

It will be used to expand

current procedures in treat-

ing atrial fibrillation, which

is a leading indicator of

stroke risk. In addition, it

offers enhanced technology

for pacemaker implantation

and high-tech imaging from

advanced radiology equip-

ment, with minimal radia-

tion exposure. The new cen-

ter also allows minimally

invasive endovascular and

other specialized vascular

procedures.

According to Wakeman,

the number of patients with

heart blockage issues has

decreased due to healthier life

choices and decreased smok-

ing. However, with an aging

population, there is an

increased number of patients

with electrical or structural

heart issues, he said.

“You have to be able to

fix those two systems, and

the electrophysiology lab and

hybrid O.R. give us that tech-

nology, along with a well-sea-

soned, educated staff to treat

both of those areas at this

hospital. I couldn’t be any

more proud,” he said.

If the hospital would

chose to expand in the

future, it could, as the new

two-story center was con-

structed with the ability to

add up to 23,000 feet of new

space with the addition of a

third floor.The new $12.5 million facility offers state-of-the-art equipment that allows the most

advanced vascular and heart care available in the area. MIRROR PHOTOS BY NANCY GAGNET
