State to conduct performance audit of school 

district; board to discuss grade reconfiguring 

By Beth Church 

The Rossford Board of 

Education is moving ahead 

with a full performance audit 

of the school district by the 

state auditor’s office. 

The performance audit 

will examine and make recommendations 

on four areas 

of school operations: financial, 

human resources, facilities 

and transportation. 

At a November 19 meeting, 

the board approved a full 

audit, by a vote of 4-1 with 

board member Doug Miller 

voting no. 

A proposal from the state 

auditor’s office explaining the 

potential scope of the audit set 

a cost of $62,000. 

The goal of the report is to 

help the district save money, 

become more efficient and 

more effective and provide an 

objective third party analysis. 

Mr. Miller questioned 

The Rossford Public 

Library has recorded another 

series of oral histories 

from a group of community 

residents. 

This series focuses on 

longtime Rossford residents. 

The first-person narratives 

are casual stories told 

by each person, prompted by 

questions from library staff 

member Kris Goldsmith. 

Anita Nawrocki Shufritz 

graduated from Rossford 

High School in 1958, but in 

essence, she’s never truly 

left. 

Her parents Anita (Baker) 

and Adalbert Nawrocki were 

from Rossford. She was 

raised here along with her 

sister Agnes, after the loss of 

their brother at age 9. 

She is a lifelong resident 

and has worked for the 

Rossford School system, primarily 

at the high school, for 

the past 54 years and is still 

going strong. 

Mrs. Shufritz remembers 

her own high school years 

both fondly and vividly. She 

recalls great participation in 

athletics and clubs, and sock 

dances after nearly every 

game. Students had more 

time then to take part in 

extracurricular activities, and 

although girls played on 

whether a full audit would 

overlap with areas currently 

being examined by Garmann 

Miller Architects for a Needs 

Assessment and a Condition 

Assessment of the district’s 

facilities. 

“There are some aspects 

that will overlap with 

Garmann Miller but for the 

most part, there will be many 

items that are different,” 

Superintendent Bill McFarland 

explained. 

Mr. Miller responded, “I 

think we should wait and 

decide on the scope [of the 

audit] later with the overlap.” 

Board president Dawn 

Burks said the audit will take 

four to six months for the 

auditor’s office to complete. 

Data collected from 

Rossford will be compared to 

peer data from five to seven 

school districts–which the 

school board would agree 

intramural teams or through 

the GAA, there were plenty 

of school-related activities. 

She began working as an 

office assistant as a sophomore. 

Little did she know 

that would be the beginning 

of her life’s work. 

During her junior year, 

she became assistant to the 

Athletic Director, Alton 

(Bud) Gladieux. Doing such 

a good job, she was 

approached during her senior 

year by Rosemary Miller and 

Bernice Baughman about a 

permanent job at the school. 

She recalled that her 

interview was conducted as 

she and the superintendent 

walked through the tunnel 

under the school. She was 

instructed to keep the interview 

confidential and did 

so–until she was congratulated 

on her new position in 

front of a group of senior 

girls who were initially not 

happy that she was hired 

instead of any of them. 

Eventually, her good 

friends Helen Klena (Fix), 

Elaine Kalisik (Jackson) and 

Judy Steward (Sattler) joined 

her in the office and they had 

such a good time working 

together, it all worked out 

well. 

Mrs. Shufritz initially 

handled payroll for the entire 

upon–plus industry standards 

from academic journals and 

best practices. 

Grade Reconfiguring 

The board of education 

will discuss options for reconfiguring 

grades and school 

buildings at the December 5 

work session. 

Board members Beverly 

Koch and Jackie Brown will 

meet prior with school administrators 

to hear their comments 

on the plan. 

The board had asked the 

superintendent to explore 

some cost-saving options for 

the district, which may 

include changing grades and 

school buildings. 

Among the options are 

clustering with younger 

grades in one building and 

older grades in another building, 

or adding sixth grade to 

the junior high school. 

After the meeting, Mr. 

Anita Shufritz 

district–both classified and 

certified employees, as well 

as the purchasing of supplies. 

She moved to the junior high 

school after that and commented 

that during those 

years “those junior high kids 

needed a mom, an aunt and a 

grandma–and in that office, 

you were it.” 

After a short time in the 

administration building, she 

was asked by then superintendent 

Gail Brubaker to 

oversee payroll and purchasing 

once again, although the 

accounting was now being 

done “by machine.” 

Mrs. Shufritz really 

wanted to be “back with the 

kids” so she bargained to do 

along with his wife, Camille, and children, Neil IV and Nadia, pulled the 

switch to turn on the lights. A reception with hot chocolate and cookies 

followed. Cub Scout Pack 43 led the singing of Christmas carols. 

McFarland said he has compiled 

“a look at the numbers 

with the teachers and rooms.” 

Reconfiguring is supported 

by the teachers, he said, 

because it allows those teaching 

the same grade levels to 

work together in the same 

building. 

“Assessment and the new 

Common Core standards 

depend on teachers working 

together,” he added. 

Wrestling Room 

Improvements 

Mr. McFarland updated 

the board on improvements to 

the high school wrestling 

room, which recently was 

switched with the weight 

room. 

“The majority of the work 

is complete,” he explained. 

“Wrestlers are practicing in 

the larger room, and all the 

weight room equipment has 

been moved into the other 

her work out of the high 

school building. She remembers 

using a ditto machine 

with all of the purple ink and 

going from making copies to 

scanning documents. She 

believes she can track her 

years through the many 

changes in technology. 

Working for a total of 

nine principals so far, she 

added, “Don’t even ask me 

my favorite. I’ve had a few.” 

She commented that current 

RHS principal Tony 

Brashear and vice principal 

Pat Murtha are very involved 

and really get to know their 

students. 

When asked about 

changes in the student body 

over the years, she noted that 

back in the day, more students 

were involved in activities. 

“We were all involved 

in something” she remembers, 

“not just athletics, but 

drama, band, choir, clubs.” 

But not so much anymore. 

“We offer nine different 

activities in the fall–you 

would think that they’d find 

something.” 

Another change among 

students is a declining level 

of respect, according to 

“Miss Anita” as she is known 

to the students. 

She believes student dress 

has something to do with 

room.” 

The board of education 

last month agreed to switch 

the rooms following concerns 

about deplorable conditions 

for student wrestlers. 

At a past board meeting, 

parents complained of water 

leaking onto mats, mold 

growing on walls, peeling 

paint and 100-degree temperatures 

among the conditions 

of the wrestling practice 

room. 

The superintendent said 

the cost of the move is nearly 

$10,000, which includes the 

mold air quality test. 

The rooms were thoroughly 

cleaned, lighting was 

installed and ceilings were 

dropped, he said, but doors 

and mirrors still need to be 

installed. 

“Those rooms are cleaner

Anita Shufritz recalls five decades of student life at RHS 

that.“Students will gain 

respect from presenting 

themselves better.” She recognizes 

that some families 

are struggling, but believes 

there is no excuse for poor 

manners or a bad attitude. 

During her time as cheerleading 

advisor, she had an 

extra inch added to the cheerleading 

skirts, and three of 

her aunts were nuns–one of

whether uniforms should be 

required attire at RHS, she 

said they do look nice at 

other schools and take away 

the decision of what to wear

In other areas concerning 

student life today, Mrs. 

Shufritz said with a laugh 

that there is “too much going

Toledo author to speak Dec. 5 at library 

Local illegal gambling clubs to be discussed 

By Beth Church 

Gambling clubs like 

Hollywood Casino are nothing 

new in the Toledo area. 

It’s just that, in this generation, 

they are now legal. 

Terry Shaffer, author of a 

new book on the history of 

Toledo area gambling clubs, 

will give a presentation 

Wednesday, December 5, at 

the Rossford Public Library. 

“We had a very colorful 

past in Toledo,” said the 

author of “Illegal Gambling 

Clubs of Toledo: The Chips, 

the Dice, the Places and 

Faces.” 

“Back to the late 1800s, 

we had a serious gambling 

problem here.” 

Mr. Shaffer’s book discusses 

the sites, mobsters and 

illegal activities. Included are 

detailed descriptions of the 

clubs with dates of operation, 

addresses, owners and operators, 

as well as police raids 

that attempted to shut them 

down. 

His interest began more 

than 15 years ago with a collection 

of vintage dice, chips 

and matchbooks from Nevada 

casinos in the 1930s and 

1940s. 

He then discovered chips 

from Toledo clubs at local 

antique malls and started 

researching their origins. 

“I became more and more 

interested–and once casinos 

were legalized in Ohio, my 

goal was to finish this book 

by the opening of the new 

casinos this summer.” 

A local business owner, 

Mr. Shaffer has lived in 

Toledo since 1966 and is a 

graduate of DeVilbiss High 

School and the University of 

Toledo. 

His writing was fueled by 

a chance visit to the Toledo 

Police Museum where the 

director told him about the 

“missing files” on mobsters 

and gamblers. 

“These were mob files, 

missing for decades,” he 

explained. “They had been 

subpoenaed, and the police 

department was unable to 

deliver them.” 

“Finally, they were discovered, 

and I was the first 

researcher to have access.” 

From those files, the 

author was able to include in 

his book the mug shots of the 

Licavoli family and the 

Purple Gang operating in 

Detroit, Cleveland and 

Toledo. 

The very old documents, 

Bacon Street 

Habitat house 

dedication 

set for Sunday 

The public is invited to a 

dedication ceremony at 3 

p.m., this Sunday, December 

2, for Rossford’s new 

Habitat for Humanity home. 

Habitat for Humanity of 

Wood County and Ridge 

Stone Builders have partnered 

to build the first 

Energy Star 3.0 home in 

northwest Ohio at 219 

Bacon Street. 

“We are so close to completion,” 

said Jennifer 

Kephart, executive director, 

Habitat for Humanity of 

Wood County Ohio, earlier 

this week. 

“Siding goes up Tuesday 

and Wednesday, carpet is to 

be installed Thursday and 

we’ll finish electrical work 

this week. We’ll be just 

about done by the weekend.” 

The Fisher family has 

been selected to receive the 

Rossford home, which will 

be the 31st Habitat home 

built in Wood County. 

The new build will be 

complete and ready for the 

family to call it home before 

Christmas, she said. 

The construction is funded 

by a Neighborhood 

Stabilization Program Grant. 

“We are all thrilled with 

the progress,” Ms. Kephart 

said. “We’ve seen daily 

prayers answered, that’s for 

sure.” 

many with carbon copies, 

were “a fabulous wealth of 

information.” 

“The research has been a 

treasure hunt for me,” he 

added. 

He also discovered communications 

between Toledo 

police officials and J. Edgar 

Hoover, before the FBI had 

been established. 

The police department had 

a “hoodlum squad” and 

“morals squad” working 

gambling-related cases. 

One photo–shot when 

even pinball machines were 

illegal–shows two morals 

squad detectives with a confiscated 

pinball machine in 

the evidence room. 

Mr. Shaffer also tracked 

news stories about illegal 

gambling for his research. 

He noted that after the turn 

of the century, “nearly every 

mayor used gambling as a 

platform. 

“There would be lots of 

police activities around election 

time, when the police 

chief was directed to conduct 

the raids,” he explained. 

Police officers were challenged 

in making arrests by 

locked doors and electronic 

buzzers at the clubs, as well 

as lookouts, membership 

cards and passwords to be 

admitted. 

“By the time the officers 

could get inside, no one was 

gambling–they were playing 

gin rummy,” Mr. Shaffer 

added. 

Clubs were managed by 

different types of operators, 

he explained, such as the infamous 

mobsters Pete, Thomas 

or “Yonnie,” and James 

Licavoli. 

He described Thomas as 

“an Al Capone type,” adding 

that the mobsters were committing 

extortion and murder 

and blowing up businesses 

with firebombs. Their “reign 

of terror” in the area lasted 

from 1931 to 1933. 

However, there also were 

gamblers operating establishments, 

such as Jimmy “The 

Gentleman Gambler” Hayes. 

To help direct customers 

to their clubs, a shuttle service–known 

as “fish wagons”–ran 

from the Toledo 

hotels, taking clientele to 

whatever club was operating 

that day. 

Toledo can boast of the 

“largest illegal gambling 

facility in the country,” he 

said, which was Club Devon 

on Benore Road.

All Saints Christmas concert to be Dec. 9 

The 11th annual Toledo 

Symphony Christmas concert 

at All Saints Catholic 

Church in Rossford will be 

held on Sunday, December 9. 

The performance will be 

filled with a collection of 

holiday and classical 

favorites from the symphony’s 

repertoire, led by conductor 

Jeffrey Pollock. 

It also will feature trumpet 

soloist David Kosmyna 

and Jennifer Perry Edwards 

as the soloist. 

Dr. Kosmyna, a Toledo 

native, teaches trumpet, theory 

and jazz ensemble at 

Ohio Northern University. 

During the summer, he 

teaches trumpet, chamber 

brass, and composition at the 

Pennsylvania Governor’s 

School for the Arts at 

Mercyhurst College in Erie, 

Pennsylvania. 

He holds a bachelor of 

music education from the 

University of Toledo, a master 

of music in composition 

from Ohio University and a 

Terry Shaffer displays the “missing files” from the Toledo 

Police Department’s investigation of local mobsters and 

the notorious Purple Gang. 

The chip, above, and 

matchbook, at right, are 

among the memorabilia of 

old gambling clubs that 

Mr. Shaffer has collected. 

It operated from 1941 to 

1944 and eventually closed 

when a Detroit business executive 

committed suicide over 

$30,000 in gambling debts. 

He wrote detailed letters to 

the FBI, Toledo mayor and 

police officials about his 

experiences in the clubs. 

Although that building is 

no longer in existence, some 

of the old clubs still stand 

around Toledo today. 

For instance, the 

Chesterfield Club, at 4649 

Detroit Avenue, operated in 

the 1940s. It is probably best 

known as the Old Nut House 

and the Hull Nut Company, 

which it later housed. 

With a few exceptions, the 

history of illegal gambling in 

the area neared an end in 1951 

when Congress began to 

investigate organized crime. 

Hearings, led by U.S. 

Senator Estes Kefauver, were 

held across the country, 

including Cleveland. 

Testimony at the hearings led 

to the closings of many clubs.

When asked about traditions

High School, football Homecoming 

week activities 

quickly came up. “We used

She has noticed that pride

by athletes who lead the rest 

of the student body. 

She’s never seen anything 

like the time in 1966 when 

she had 2,200 tickets available

and the line stretched 

from the fieldhouse down to 

Glenwood Road. Even later 

playoff teams never saw the 

excitement exhibited that 

year. She hopes that the 

many generations of RHS 

students still living in Rossford 

along with parents and 

grandparents will help keep 

the pride alive and growing. 

Forms of student discipline 

also have changed dramatically 

over time.

by the teachers, and then they 

would turn around and sign 

the paddle.” Now she says

that she won’t tolerate that 

behavior.

to the past, Mrs. Shufritz 

believes seniors generally 

have always grown to be 

mature, which is one of her 

favorite parts about working 

with teens–to watch them 

grow up and find themselves 

and who they want to be. 

The other students’ maturity 

seems to fluctuate with 

what is going on in the 

world. More kids are driving 

and having to work to pay for 

their car insurance so while 

that is seen as mature, they 

are not being involved in as 

many group activities at 

school, which may be seen as 

important for team building 

and learning to work together, 

she added.

Superintendent Search 

Applications from candidates 

interested in serving as 

Rossford’s new superintendent 

will be due in early January. 

“They’re already coming 

in,” Ms. Burks said. 

The school board has hired 

the Ohio School Boards Association 

(OSBA) to assist with a 

search for a new superintendent 

at an estimated cost of $6,900. 

As applications arrive, the 

OSBA will organize and narrow 

the list of candidates based on

qualifications, she explained. 

The school board will interview 

applicants in February, and 

the public then will be invited to 

meet the final candidates. 

“We feel this is the most 

important thing on our plate 

right now,” Ms. Burks said. 

Mr. McFarland currently is 

serving as interim superintendent. 

The board hopes to hire a 

new superintendent early next 

year to begin with the 2013-14 

school year. 

Other Business 

In other business, the school 

board: 

•Accepted the retirement of 

Sharon Cooper, cleaner, effective 

January 1, 2013. 

•Approved the employment 

of Luann Erdmann,

Burtchin, Beth Cramer, Jessica 

Kazmierski and Julie

Thomas Kralovic, Jr. and Carol 

Riethmiller as volunteers for 

2012-13. 

•Entered into an agreement 

with the Educational Service

The school board’s next 

meeting will be a study session 

at 6 p.m., Wednesday, December 

5, in the board room at Bulldog 

Center. 

The meeting is open to the 

public. 

After her several decades 

in the attendance office, it 

only seemed natural to ask 

Mrs. Shufritz about the best 

excuse she had heard for a 

student absence or tardy. 

“Oh, I could write a memoir” 

she said, “and some kids 

could have their own chapter; 

but I will never forget the 

time that a student said that 

they had been caught by a 

train on their way to school, 

but I happened to know that 

they lived on this side of the 

tracks!”

Mercy breaks ground on new emergency and diagnostic center 

By Deb Buker 

Last spring, Mercy 

announced plans for a freestanding 

emergency and 

diagnostic center in Perrysburg. 

And recently, a groundbreaking 

ceremony was held 

for the new $12.7 million, 

15,000 square foot facility–Mercy 

Emergency and 

Diagnostic Center–located 

near the intersection of State 

Route 25 and Eckel Junction 

Road. 

Welcoming the crowd, 

Andrea Price, Mercy president 

and CEO, said the 

health care company is honored 

to be in Perrysburg and 

work with people in the city 

and northern Wood County. 

“Groundbreaking ceremonies 

are really special to 

me. They represent beginnings, 

and I believe this is 

the beginning of a great 

partnership,” she said. “And, 

I think it is fitting today to 

read one of my favorite 

quotes by Robert Lewis 

Stephenson–‘Don’t judge 

each day by the harvest you 

reap, but by the seeds that 

you plant.’ And that is really 

what we are doing here 

today–we are planting the 

seeds for new health care in 

this community. Mercy has 

had a long tradition of emergency 

services–we are 

known for that–and we are 

thrilled to provide that exact 

same type of care that we 

provide at our hospitals right 

here in this community.” 

Ms. Price also announced 

another partnership–with 

Perrysburg schools. The 

schools’ art department will 

create art to be displayed in 

the new emergency and 

diagnostic center, she added. 

Chairman of the Mercy

The Perrysburg High School art department created a special banner welcoming Mercy to Perrysburg. Mercy 

formed a partnership with Perrysburg schools and the art department will be creating art to be displayed at the 

new Mercy Emergency and Diagnostic Center. 

gency room here in Perrysburg. 

Despite the troubled 

economy in northwest Ohio, 

the population is actually 

growing here in Wood 

County. With this growth, it 

became obvious to us that 

the residents here needed 

faster and improved access 

to leading edge emergency 

medical care.” 

Medical director of 

Mercy LifeStar and Life 

Flight services Dr. Chris 

Goliver will head the new 

emergency facility. 

“The last time we stood 

at this site, Mercy 

announced plans for the 

free-standing emergency 

and diagnostic center,” said 

the doctor and former Perrysburg 

firefighter. “Now 

after countless hours, 

tremendous community support, 

we are starting to see 

those plans actually come 

into action.” 

Dr. Goliver told the 

crowd that his career path 

and transition from a firefighter 

to an emergency 

medicine physician was 

interesting and exciting. 

“Through this journey, I 

have been fortunate to have 

been involved with Mercy’s 

emergency and trauma serv- 

ices for the last 12 years,” 

he said. “I’ve seen first hand 

the difference it makes in 

having top quality emergency 

medical care readily 

accessible. I am excited 

about what this center will 

mean to this area. When facing 

a serious illness or 

injury, the residents of the 

community deserve the best 

in emergency medical care. 

“I am proud to say if you 

live in Perrysburg or the surrounding 

area, hospital quality 

emergency services will 

soon be conveniently located 

close to where you live, 

work and play.” 

The new facility will 

feature 10 examination 

rooms, lab services and 

imaging services typically 

found in hospital settings 

including MRI scans, CT 

scans, 3D mammography, 

digital radiology, ultrasound 

and Dexascan. The center 

with be open 24 hours a day, 

seven days a week. 

Dr. Goliver said the fullservice 

emergency room 

will serve a wide range of 

patients including those who 

require a higher level of care 

brought in by EMS 

providers. It will be 

designed to treat patients 

Created to keep the torch 

of hope alive for all 

our walks of life. 

To the great state of Ohio and all our communities that well know the meaning of overcoming adversity 

and stand poised for the future. Please help us to support the Marine Corps Toys for Tots who have stood 

and always stand ready to serve our nation overseas and on our homeland at anytime and still make 

time to serve our disenfranchised children and their families during the holiday season. Thank you AVJ 

Events for the spectacular events to further awareness for the Toys for Tots cause, and a special thank 

you to Welch Publishing who has always been here for our servicemen and women, our communities 

and important campaigns –you are true patriots!

The Toledo Museum of 

Art announces the following 

program highlights for December. 

Admission is free. 

Continuing Exhibitions 

Leslie Adams: Drawn 

from Life, through January 

13, in Gallery 18. As a 

young girl Leslie Adams attended 

art classes at the 

Toledo Museum of Art. 

Today she is nationally 

known for her portraits of 

distinguished members of society 

and civic leaders. The 

first recipient of the Solo Exhibition 

Award of the venerable 

Toledo Area Artists 

Exhibition in 2011, Ms. 

Adams presents a new body 

of approximately 20 works 

incorporating Old Master 

painting compositions and 

drawing techniques. This 

work is autobiographical, 

weaving classical references 

with a dash of 20th-century 

pop culture. In it, she conveys 

memories of TMA and 

its collection together with 

other people, places and objects 

that have shaped her career 

and life. 

Prints and Authors from 

the Time of Manet, through 

January 13, in Works on 

Paper Gallery. Édouard 

Manet (1832–83) came of 

age during a time of prolific 

change in Paris and in French 

society in general. While earlier 

artists produced works of 

biblical and mythological 

subjects full of history and 

allegory, artists like Manet 

began to paint more freely 

and to be inspired by the life 

around them. Prints, photographs 

and illustrated books 

are included in this exhibition 

of artworks produced 

during Manet’s lifetime. Approximately 

120 works by 

some of the most talented 

artists working in the period–including 

Renoir, 

Corot, Daumier, Whistler 

and Manet himself–are featured. 

Museum People: Faces 

of TMA, through January 

10, in Gallery 1. Museum 

people–those who visit and 

support art institutions–come 

from all walks of life. Last 

spring, hundreds of Toledo 

Museum of Art community 

members of all ages stopped 

by to have photo headshots 

taken by local award-winning 

photographer Jim 

Notice to Wood County dog owners 

Michael Sibbersen, Wood 

County Auditor announces 

that beginning December 3, 

applications for 2013 dog 

registrations may be filed. 

Ohio law provides that before 

January 31 of each year 

all owners of dogs three 

months of age or older shall 

be registered in the county in 

which the dog is kept. The information 

necessary for registration 

is age, sex, color,

licenses in addition to the 

regular registration fee.

after January 31 have 30 days 

after the date of acquisition or

Rudolph/Libbe Inc. has been honored with a prestigious 

2012 Build Ohio Award for its work on the new Lake High 

School in Wood County. The awards were announced on November, 

16 by the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of 

Ohio in Columbus. 

The project won top honors in the category of New Construction 

over $20 million. This is Rudolph/Libbe’s ninth 

Build Ohio Award. Rudolph/Libbe Inc. served as design/build 

contractor for Lake High School. 

The Lake High School project was, unofficially, Ohio’s 

first construction reform project, using the design/build delivery 

method. This project delivery process was permitted 

under an urgent necessity provision for construction in an 

emergency situation. 

Construction began in April 2011, but the project truly 

began June 5, 2010, when a killer tornado destroyed most of 

the existing high school. Rudolph/Libbe Inc. responded 

within an hour after the storm to assess damage to the high 

school. A full crew mobilized before dawn the next day to 

begin securing the site and cleaning up debris. 

School officials wanted the new 144,980-square-foot high 

school ready for students in July 2012. 

Under the construction management delivery system, they 

would have waited three years or longer to obtain occupancy. 

However, the design/build delivery method gave school officials 

the high-tech, cost-efficient high school they wanted in 

15 months. 

“We’re pleased to receive this recognition for our work on 

the Lake High School project,” said Tim Alter, president of 

Rudolph/Libbe Inc. “We had a great client in Lake Local 

Schools. We also had outstanding people–the project team, 

craftspeople, subcontractors and suppliers–providing the skill, 

dedication and hard work that are integral to a successful project. 

It’s an honor to have worked on a building which means 

so much to our community and serves as an example of the 

importance of Ohio Construction Reform to the owners of 

public improvement projects.” 

In 2011, Ohio Governor Kasich signed House Bill 153, 

which included the first changes in the state’s method of performing 

public construction in over 134 years. These changes, 

known as Ohio Construction Reform or OCR, will substantially 

change how public improvement projects are completed 

and will permit the use of alternative construction delivery 

methods. 

Ohio Construction Reform retains the current multipleprime 

design-bid-build project delivery method, but gives 

public owners other construction options that are faster, involve 

less risk and provide greater flexibility and most important, 

lower cost. Ohio Construction Reform includes the 

design/build delivery method which was used to construct 

Lake High School. 

“Lake High School is a strong example of the value that 

the design/build delivery method brings to a project in terms 

of speed, efficiency, quality and cost-effectiveness,” Alter 

says. 

Build Ohio is an annual awards competition that honors 

members of the Associated General Contractors of Ohio for 

excellence in construction. A panel of retired construction 

professionals selected winners based on excellence in project 

management, innovation in construction techniques or materials, 

client service and meeting project challenges.

There’s No Place Like 

Home,” December 1, at 1:30 

p.m. This month’s free tour 

for those with mild memory 

loss and their companions 

features the Swiss Room and 

a room from the Chateau de 

Chenailles in the decorative 

arts galleries. Reservations

Call the Alzheimer’s 

Association, Northwest Ohio

“Curator Tour, Manet: 

Portraying Life,” December 

7, at 7 p.m. Meet in

senior curator of European 

and American painting and 

sculpture before 1900, will 

lead a tour of Manet: Portraying

“Deadly Songs: Sirens 

in Greek and Romany Funerary 

Art,” December 7, at 

7:30 p.m., in the Little Theater. 

Andrea Mall, associate 

registrar at TMA and AIA- 

Toledo Society trustee, explores 

the meaning behind 

Sirens depicted in funerary 

art and explains how these 

frightful creatures became 

associated with comfort in 

the afterlife. Known for luring 

unsuspecting sailors to 

their deaths, the Sirens of 

Homer’s Odyssey are described 

in literary sources as 

creatures to be feared and 

avoided. Yet ancient Greeks 

and Romans chose to display 

images of these beings on 

their funerary monuments. 

Depicted as human-headed 

birds, the iconography associated 

with Sirens was a popular 

motif appearing in a 

funerary context stretching 

back to the Egyptian period. 

The discussion is cosponsored 

by the Archaeological 

Institute of America-Toledo 

Society. 

“A Brush with Art: Textiles 

in Art and Decorate a 

Silk Scarf,” December 14: 

from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Meet in 

Herrick Lobby. This month’s

loss includes a discussion 

of textiles in art in the TMA 

collection and decorating a 

silk scarf. Guided by trained 

docents and volunteers, the 

program is designed to foster 

socialization, manual dexterity 

and mental alertness. 

Friends and family are welcome 

to attend. Registration 

is required. Call the 

Alzheimer’s Association, 

Northwest Ohio Chapter at 

419-537-1999. Sponsored in 

part by Healthcare REIT 

Gallery Talk: “Transparent 

Likeness–Portraits 

in Glass,” December 14, at 

7 p.m. Participants will meet 

in the Glass Pavilion. Although 

rare, portraits in glass

years. Jutta-Annette Page, 

curator of glass and decorative 

arts at TMA, discusses 

the techniques, models and 

shifting functions of portraits 

made in glass.

Mailbox Check 

Now is the time to check your mailbox to make sure 

that it will withstand the upcoming winter snows. 

When city snowplows clear the streets, the road 

slush and snow are very heavy and 

can knock down your mailbox. 

Make certain your mailbox and the 

post can withstand this force, because 

the City of Rossford will only 

replace/repair mailboxes that are 

actually hit by the snowplow. 

Also, be certain your mailbox 

is upright and not leaning 

into the street. It is the 

homeowners’ responsibility to maintain their mailbox 

to withstand the rigors of a winter of snow.

All Saints kindergarteners visit Cherry Street Mission 

All Saints kindergarten students surprised residents of the Cherry Street Mission 

with gift bags and funds they had collected for meals. A volunteer from the mission 

visited the class and shared with the students that for $1.73 the mission in downtown 

Toledo can provide a meal to a person in need. 

As a service project, students sponsored a jeans pass day for the school. Any All 

Saints student who brought in $1.73 on November 13 could wear jeans to school 

instead of their uniform. The jeans day generated enough funds for 188 meals. 

The kindergarten students also collected candy from fellow students. With the help 

of middle school students, they filled 275 gift bags with candy to take to the residents 

of the mission. Another 100 gift bags were filled with candy and donated to the All 

Saints Food Pantry for local neighbors in need. 

Above: All Saints students sing for the residents during their visit to the mission. 

Below: Kindergarten and middle school students work together to prepare bags of 

candy for the mission and food pantry.

Holidays in the Manor House at Wildwood 

A Toledo tradition more 

than three decades in the making 

returns to Wildwood Preserve 

Sunday, December 2 

through Sunday, December 9. 

Thirty-five differently decorated 

areas of the stately 

Manor House will sparkle 

with holiday spirit, courtesy of 

hundreds of volunteers. Displays 

will include themes such 

as a Polish Christmas dinner, 

Christmas Masquerade and the 

Manor House Railway. 

Last year, more than 

18,000 people toured the decorated 

mansion during the 

eight-day event. Tours are free. 

Hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. 

daily. 

The Manor House was 

built in the 1930s as the family 

home of Robert and Page 

Stranahan. In the mid-1970s, 

Zoar Lutheran Church 

will host a Blue Christmas 

Worship service on Sunday, 

December 16, at 3 p.m. 

Many find the holiday 

season to be especially difficult 

because of the absence of 

loved ones. Losses come in 

many forms: marriages and 

relationships come to an end; 

friends and family members 

die; medical diagnoses limit 

mobility and activity; lives 

are irrevocably changed. 

All are invited to gather as

east entrance to Wildwood, 

also will be decorated for 

Zoar Lutheran Church to host

together. The 

program will include a message 

of God’s word of hope, 

the Lord’s Supper, and support 

and comfort. Believers 

of all denominations are welcome 

to come.

PET OF THE WEEK 

Mickey & Minnie: white domestic 

short hair 

Hi there! I'm Minnie and this is my 

brother Mickey. We came to the shelter 

when we were teeny tiny. The nice girls 

at the shelter took such good care of us. 

Mickey and I are the best of friends. 

We're so close that we cannot be separated 

and must be adopted together. 

Mickey would be lost without me! We 

love to play and watch the other cats. 

One of our favorite games is tag and 

we love to play with the fuzzy mouse. After play time we like to snuggle 

up together and nap. I hope you come out to meet us, we can't wait 

Please visit or call the Wood County Humane Society at 419-352-7339 

to learn more about this great pet. All of our adoptable animals can be 

viewed by visiting www.WoodCountyHumaneSociety.org.
