Commissioner Brown recently commissioned local artist Daniel Chudzinski
to sculpt an American Bald Eagle for display at the Wood County
Courthouse. The artist, Dan Chudzinski, is a recent graduate of B.G.S.U.
with a Masters of Fine Arts degree
in 3-D studies (sculpture).
"I am so happy with Dan's work and his passion for the arts. He is
another fine example of B.G.S.U's commitment to diverse higher
educational opportunities and I am honored to have the experience of
working with him."

The community recently held a salute to my friend and
colleague Alvie Perkins for his 40 years of service to the citizens of
Wood County (23 years as our County Commissioner). I am honored to
work with Alvie for so many years!

Tim Brown, serves as chairman of the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council
of Government's (TMACOG) Air Quality committee and
has been a leader in helping to reshape Northwest Ohio's role in the
environment by spearheading an initiative to plant native trees,
bushes and grasses along our roadways. This endeavor has resulted
in thousands of trees being planted to beautify our highway system,
reduce emissions and the costs to ODOT of mowing. It is estimated
that these trees take in 27,000 pounds of carbon dioxide every year
through carbon sequestration - helping our environment and making our
air cleaner in Northwest, Ohio. (Tim Brown pictured here at a
press conference with officials from the Ohio Department of
Transportation (ODOT), the Department of Natural Resources - Division of
Forestry, and TMACOG.)


Tim Brown works with the County's other elected Commissioners, James F.
Carter of Grand Rapids, and Alvin L. Perkins of Center Township.

Commissioner
Brown believes it is important to work with state and federal officials
to make sure the voices of Wood County citizens are heard. (Commissioner
Brown pictured discussing issues of local concern with the late U.S. Congressman Paul
Gillmor, a mentor and great friend!)
Being active in Wood County's communities is an important part of
serving all of our citizens. Tim Brown remains very involved in
those events that celebrate our quality of life. (Pictured here
participating in the annual Harrison Rally Parade in Perrysburg.)

River.

| On Wednesday, May 1, 2002,
at 10:00 am, the Wood County Commissioners James F. Carter, Tim
W. Brown and Alvin L. Perkins adopted the official flag of Wood
County. The Ohio Bicentennial Commission requested Ohio’s County
Commissioners provide a county flag for use as part of a display
at the Statehouse in Columbus. The Wood County Commissioners
charged the County’s Buildings and Grounds Committee with the
responsibility of creating and recommending a flag design to the
Commissioners for adoption, as no county flag existed.
The flag is on display in the gallery area of the Office of
the County Commissioners for citizens to view. Commemorative
flag stickers are available to citizens who stop by the
Commissioners office to view the flag. |
