The building that would become the Marathon Center for the Performing Arts (MCPA) was a community and cultural center in Findlay long before the idea of a downtown perform ing arts center was ever conceived.

Originally Findlay High School, the building was constructed in 1925 on the historic site of the first Findlay field office for the Ohio Oil Company, which would grow into the international company better known today as Marathon Petroleum Corporation,

Fifteen years later, an art deco style auditorium was added to the school, and for the next 23 years, the theater was home to student productions, ceremonies and assemblies, In 1963, the building became Central Middle School, Central, as it was affectionately known, hosted productions by the Findlay Light Opera Company, touring shows presented by The Arts Partnership, the annual high school musical and much more,

In 2012, Findlay City Schools built two new junior high schools. Central Middle School closed its doors just a year later, in January 2013. The building was slated for demolition until a group of citizens organized themselves around the mission to “Save Central,” By April of that same year, the Hancock County Per-

forming Arts Center was formed, and its board of directors quickly mobilized the community.

Using the beloved auditorium as a structural and aestheüc foundaüon, renovaüons included new theater seats, expanded backstage capabilities and state-of-the-art technology, along with the addition of a stunning atrium lobby, lounge, visual art ery,suite ot dressing rooms and several flexib e spaces to be used för classes and meetings,

Today, MCPA hosts over 300 events each year including performances by rock-n-roll legends Chicago and country music superstar Darius Rucker, as well as weddings and preschool graduation ceremonies,

The growth of MCPA’s programming and endowment fund ensures that the long history of this community performing arts center is just the beginning!

Last year was challenging for most of the world, and the performing arts industry got hit particularly hard, In March 2020 Marathon Center for the Performing Arts was forced to close its doors because of the pandemic. This “temporary closure” resulted in hundreds

Take Good Care

of Yourself

Below are some tips to stay safe and healthy while you enjoy your cold-weather workouts.

Wear layers. Dress in clothinoff anå that you can easily take put back on as needed. Start with a thin layer of synthetic material, such as polypropylene, which draws sweat away from your body. A layer of fleece or wool can be added for insulation (don’t wear cotton, as it absorbs sweat and can make you colder). Top this off with a waterproof, breathable outer layer.

Protect your head, hands, and feet. When it’s cold, blood flow concentrates in your body’s core to help keep you warm, which leaves your head, hands, and feet vulnerable to the cold.Wear gloves lined with wool or fleece, or add a thin pair ofglove liners made of a wicking material under a pair of heavier gloves. Also, wear heavy socks and a wool cap, and protect your eyes from wind and glare with dark glasses,

Apply sunscreen. It may not feel hot, but you can still get sunburned in winter, Your risk increases if you are surrounded by snow, which can reflect sun-

Stay hydrated. You are more likely to get dehydrated in cold weather because cold air tamps down thirst, While you may not need the same fluid intake as during summer, you still need to maintain the same approach to hydration,

Choose asafe surface. Make sure your route offers good footing and is clear and safe to navigate.

 

Tech Talk

By Ohio Logistics’ IT Manager, Mike Spradlin “Happy New Year” from IT!

Welcome back to “Tech Talk,” your inside source for all things IT. As we usher in the new year, it is more important than ever to be “cyber aware.” One of our best tools against cyber-attacks is education. IT wants to ensure all associates are properly trained to help identify and respond to potential threats. Starting very soon we will be revamping our cyber training platform to include expanded content, more sophisticated phishing attacks and compliance tracking. Our intent is to provide you with the tools and training you need to be cyber vigilant and protect yourself, and the organization against cyber-attacks.

Interesting Information

Psychologist, Solomon Asch, conducted an experiment in 1951 to investigate the extent to which social pressure from a majority group could affect a person to conform,

He used a lab experiment with 50 college students and told them that they were participatin in a vision test, Using a line judgment task, ke put the participant with seven other students who were part of the experiment. The seven students agreed in advanced what their answer would be when presented with the line task The participant thought that they were all participating in the experiment.

The experimenter stood in the front of the room and held up a display with one comparison line and the students were told to choose the line (out of three) that was the same length. Each person in the room would state their answer line (A, B, or C) out loud, The real participant was seated at the end of the row and would give their answer last.

Target line

Tye correct answer is obviously Y, ” right?

There were 18 trials in total and the seven students who were in on the experiment purposely gave the wrong answer 12 times.mr point of the experiment was to see if the real participant would give the right answer or if they would conform to the majority.

On average, about 1/3 of the participants who were placed in this situation went along and confbrmed with the clearly incorrect nuljority,

Throughout 12 trials, about 3/4 of participants conformed at least once and 1/4 of participants never conformed, In the control group where there was no pressure from other students who were part of the experiment, less than 1% of participants gave the wrong answer,

When participants were interviewed after the experiment, most of them said that they did not believe their conforming answers, but they went along with the group out of fear of being ridiculed,

The experiment concluded that people conform for two main reasons: they want to fit in with the group (normative influence) and because they believe the group is more informed than they are (informational influence).

Test Your Logistics IQ:

• A contingency plan for sustained operations during periods of high risk, such as labor unrest or natural disastet: CSCMP provides suggestions for helping companies do continuity planning in their Securing the Supply Chain research.
• A test the ICC uses to determine if a trucking operation is bona fide private transportation; the private trucking operation must be incidental to and in the futherance of the firm ‘s primary business.
• Tradiäonally, all manufacturing costs, other than direct labor and direct materials, that continue even ifproducts are not produced. Although fixed overhead is necessary to produæ the product, it cannot be directly traced to the final product.
