The Perrysburg School 

District officially kicked off 

its campaign for a four-year 

replacement operating levy 

on the November 6 ballot. 

The levy, which represents 

20 percent of the districts 

funding, replaces the 

current operating levy 

expiring the end of the year. 

To support the levy 

effort, Citizens for Perrysburg 

Schools has formed a 

levy campaign committee 

chaired by parent Donna 

Lowery. 

“We’re so excited, after 

months of planning, to 

begin the public face of our 

campaign,” said Mrs. Lowery. 

“There’s so much at 

stake with this levy, and it’s 

our job to help get the word 

out to the community. 

We’re counting on their 

support.” 

The campaign committee 

also includes: Eric Benington, 

treasurer; Ken Widdel, 

fund-raising; Rebecca 

and Ian Perkins, yard signs; 

Lara Martin Lengel and 

Frank D’Agostino, canvassing; 

Mary Neely, absentee 

voter outreach; Robin 

Laird, election day; Tim 

Laird, letters to the editor;

Wood County Historical Museum director resigns; new curator hired 

At a special reception on 

August 30, the Wood County 

Historical Center and 

Museum bade farewell to 

museum director Christie 

Weininger. 

Ms. Weininger, who has 

been at the museum for nine 

years, has accepted the 

executive director position 

at the Rutherford P. Hayes 

Presidential Center in Fremont. 

While at the historical 

center, she worked tirelessly 

to increase the recognition 

of the museum in the region 

and developed partnerships 

with other organizations. 

“I wanted to make the 

museum an integral part of 

the community and a place 

where people could come 

and learn what Wood County 

is all about,” she said. 

During her tenure, she 

helped create an innovative 

audio tour of historic sites in 

Wood County, receiving an 

award of merit from the 

Ohio Museums Association 

and selection by the Ohio 

Humanities Council as host 

of two traveling exhibits 

from the Smithsonian Institution. 

In 2009-10, she was 

appointed by former Ohio 

Governor Ted Strickland to 

serve on the state’s legislative 

commission on the education 

and preservation of 

state history.

The wheels on the bus will roll...voters to make final decision 

City council approves funds for paratransit/ADA bus services through Nov. 11 

By Deb Buker 

On September 22, 

TARTA will end its service 

in Perrysburg. And for 

months, the looming question 

from Perrysburg transit 

riders and residents has 

been–“Will the City of Perrysburg 

provide services 

during the ‘gap’ period?” 

At a special meeting of 

Perrysburg City Council last 

week, the question was 

answered but not to everyone’s 

satisfaction. 

Council voted 5-1 to 

enter into a contract with 

Ride Right LLC to “provide 

gap paratransit/ADA services 

after September 22 and 

until the certification of the 

results from the November 

general election,” at a cost 

of $15,878 mobilization fee 

and a service rate of $64.54 

an hour. 

Last month, city council 

authorized negotiations with 

Ride Right to provide public 

transportation beginning 

January 1, if voters approve 

a four-year, 1.45-mill levy 

on the November ballot. The 

transit company would pro- 

vide ADA/paratransit, fixed 

route and shuttle/dial-a-ride 

services within the city of 

Perrysburg. 

Councilman Joe Lawless 

was absent and Councilman 

Todd Grayson cast the no 

vote. 

For the gap period, Ride 

Right will provide paratransit/ADA 

service only–a 10passenger 

van–in Perrysburg 

with connections to TARTA 

service at the Maumee 

municipal building and Meijer 

on U.S. Route 20. 

Councilman and chairman 

of the finance committee 

Tom Mackin introduced 

the ordinance and stated the 

funding will come from the 

municipal development fund 

generated from the city’s 

rental properties–not from 

income tax or property tax. 

He also noted that contracting 

with TARTA for the gap 

period was not a viable 

option due to the fact the 

TARTA board of trustees 

was not meeting until after 

September 22. 

“We discussed where the 

funds would come from to

studies department at Bowling 

Green State University, 

she is president of the Ohio 

Local History Alliance and 

chair of the public history 

committee of the Ohio 

Academy of History Executive 

Council. 

Ms. Weininger believes 

her accomplishments could 

not have happened without 

the museum board, staff and 

volunteers. “I don’t really 

want any credit for special 

programs. Their development 

is very much a team 

effort,” she said. 

A graduate of Otterbein 

University with a bachelor’s 

degree in history and a University 

of Toledo graduate 

with a master’s degree in 

history with a concentration 

in public history, she is 

proud of the respect the 

museum has garnered over 

the past nine years. 

“Whenever I see community 

organizations seeking 

us out to partner on projects, 

residents bringing visitors to 

the muesum because we’re a 

must see or kids excitedly 

participating in one of our 

programs, it means so much 

to me. 

“I want the community to 

appreciate us and realize the 

importance of having an 

pay for this and decided on 

the municipal development 

fund–not from any other part 

of the general fund,” he said, 

adding the funding would go 

through November 11. 

“After some discussion, the 

[finance] committee agreed 

it was appropriate to have 

the ordinance go to November 

11 after the election. I 

would have preferred it go 

to the end of the year. The 

understanding is that if the 

levy passes, we will continue 

the service with Ride 

Right through the end of the 

year.” 

Councilman Mike Olmstead 

told members of council 

that throughout this 

process he has been 

“amazed at the stunning 

arrogance of TARTA that put 

us through where we are 

today.” 

“Since our last council 

meeting, we have had negotiations 

and meetings with 

Ride Right and they have 

stepped up. And when we 

told them we had an issue 

[with gap service] they presented 

an alternative,” said

institution of this caliber in 

Wood County. 

“This was one of not 

only my goals but that of the 

board and staff as well. I 

think we’re achieving that 

goal, and I couldn’t be more 

proud.” 

Ms. Weininger has long 

been interested in history.

great storytellers, and they 

used to talk about what life 

was like for them when they

the councilman. “But yet, 

there seems to be an inability 

for anyone at the board 

level or management level 

of TARTA to find time in 

their busy schedule to sit 

down with us. It is an example 

of why we are where we 

are today–an example of 

bureaucratic boondoggle 

that results in where we are 

today and looking for alternatives.” 

Attending the meeting 

was Deb Angel, public 

transportation rider and 

TARTA board member, who 

responded that council created 

the problem, not 

TARTA. 

“I told you all back in 

January that you are moving 

too fast, so you can’t blame 

TARTA,” she said. “You 

guys created the problem 

along with Randy Gardner– 

you shut the door on us. We 

didn’t opt out, but you opted 

out of TARTA so therefore 

we bear no responsibly to 

bail you out now.”

stated his disappointment in 

only offering paratransit/ 

ADA services during the 

gap time. 

“It is totally wrong,” he 

told council. “Why can’t 

the service be a call-a-ride 

and paratransit combined? 

If my wife wanted to ride 

the bus, she can’t because 

she is not ADA certified. 

What about the people who 

are working at the various 

places and won’t be able to 

use the service or the other 

people who use call-a-ride? 

I am not fighting this for 

me–I am covered. But if 

you are going to have one 

bus and that bus is only 

going to be paratransit 

within Perrysburg, it is 

going to sit most of the 

time.” 

City administrator Bridgette 

Kabat explained that 

because of the short timeframe 

to put a service in 

place during the gap period, 

Ride Right was only comfortable 

with paratransit 

service. 

“One of the overwhelming 

concerns was the ability 

to provide quality service to 

the citizens,” she said. 

“Because of the short 

amount of lead time and not 

knowing the ridership currently 

and not knowing 

what the call-a-ride ridership 

is once a fixed route is 

eliminated, there was just 

no way in that short amount 

of time available that Ride 

Right could offer additional 

services. They want to be 

the best they can for us in 

that short amount of time 

with the dollars we have 

available.” 

Letters policy 

Councilman Grayson, 

who was clearly upset with 

riders’ comments, lashed 

out. “You people, you in the 

audience–I am not picking 

on anyone–you people the 

riders who are upset, who 

are missing their transportation 

here, who are going to 

have a limited service–the 

residents of Perrysburg are 

offering to pay $1,000 a 

day out of the general fund, 

how awful of the taxpayers, 

how horrible that we offer a 

$1,000 a day for services. 

TARTA is not legally bound 

to quit. They are not permitted 

from continuing, 

they may sign another contract, 

and they have flexibility. 

We have been discussing 

this for months. If 

there was a legal barrier it 

could have been cleared. 

“We are trying desperately 

to go forward and I 

only bring up funding 

because the money for the 

miracle system everyone 

here wants to have isn’t 

there–it doesn’t exist. There 

is no money.” 

Mayor Nelson Evans 

said when he first came into 

office, people were complaining 

about the empty 

TARTA buses within the 

city. 

“We have been working 

on this since 2006,” he stated. 

“I’ve always said this–I 

believe the [TARTA] system 

is fatally flawed. You 

cannot have a system where 

you have a bunch of people 

involved and nobody is 

directly responsible. Why 

should TARTA ever do anything 

different than what 

they are doing now if they 

can’t be held accountable? 

The weekly deadline for Letters to the Editor is noon on Friday. 

Letters should be limited to 300 words. Letters from the same 

writer will be accepted no more frequently than every 30 days. 

Due to limited space, coverage of community news, and production 

costs, only two letters regarding a certain issue will be 

printed each week. Time and space permitting, all other letters will 

be posted on the newspaper’s web site, www.perrysburg. com. 

The newspaper reserves the right to accept or reject letters, and 

to edit them for clarity and length. 

All letters need a signature of the writer and an address and 

phone number for verification before publishing. 

“The only way they can 

be held accountable is if the 

voters say, ‘no, I’m not giving 

you the money.’ Well 

the voters in six of the nine 

jurisdictions of TARTA 

voted no on the levy, but 

guess what? The levy still 

passed because Toledo is in 

charge with nine votes and 

the suburbs have eight 

votes. 

“We have been at this 

New 

Crop 

and dealing with this for six 

years now. And I have 

heard all your arguments, I 

have met some great people 

and I know the issue. That 

is why I was very concerned 

that at least we have 

the ADA people covered. 

“Hopefully on January 

1, when the voters pass the 

levy on November 6, we 

will have a fixed route, we 

will have dial-a-ride, we 

will have ADA service, we 

will have all of that. 

“Right now we have 

nothing in our budget to 

cover that full extent of 

total operations till the end 

of the year–our budget 

doesn’t cover that. 

“So we have a line item 

that is strictly from rent. It 

is not from income tax 

because I don’t want to 

offend the taxpayers out 

there who don’t want to 

spend any more money on 

public transportation all 

together. And there are 

those people out there. 

“But I do think at the 

end of the game on November 

6, I believe the residents, 

for the millage that 

we have put on the ballot, 

the voters will say, ‘yes, 

there is need for that service. 

“I am sorry for any 

inconvenience in the near 

future, but I will promise 

you if after Ride Right does 

get going and they find 

some gaps in their timeframe–that 

ADA is not filling 

their time hours, we 

will try to add dial-a-ride. 

We will look at that.” 

Perrysburg resident and 

treasurer for the committee 

Perrysburg4transit Denny 

Barrett, summed up the 

meeting. “Right now it 

doesn’t matter what might 

have been, could have been, 

should have been–it all 

doesn’t matter. Right now 

you have a proposition to 

do the best that you think 

we can do–the best Ride 

Right can do. I say do it,” 

he told council.

said her decision to leave 

did not come easily. “It was 

extremely difficult. You 

just don’t get up and walk

regrets that she won’t be at 

the museum next year. 

“There are several big projects,

Wood County Commissioner 

Tim Brown said it

support of the museum and 

me over the years. 

Although there were some

it was largely due to the

Letters to the Editor 

Dear Editor: 

Kudos to Perrysburg’s 

City Council for providing 

transit support for the disabled 

during the upcoming 

interim period (September 

23-November 11). However, 

the long-term strategy needs 

work. 

Perrysburg’s proposed bus 

system falls short of what is 

needed for disabled passengers. 

Currently, TARPS picks 

up disabled passengers at 

their door in Perrysburg and 

takes them directly to their 

destination anywhere that 

TARTA travels (all of Toledo, 

Sylvania, Maumee, Rossford, 

Perrysburg, Ottawa Hills, Waterville 

and Spencer and Sylvania 

townships.) 

The proposed system requires 

that disabled passengers 

take a Perrysburg bus to 

the Maumee Municipal 

Building or Meijer’s grocery 

store in Rossford, where they 

will connect with a pre-reserved 

TARPS bus. 

This plan has numerous 

flaws and puts the health and 

safety of disabled passengers 

at risk. 

Travel times will be substantially 

elongated and complicated. 

A west Toledo 

doctor’s appointment that 

takes 45 minutes now, will 

take closer to two hours each 

way. Since neither the 

“ADA” Perrysburg bus nor 

the TARPS bus is a fixedschedule 

bus, the rider has no 

way of knowing the arrival 

time of the bus. People will 

not be able to accurately 

schedule a connection with 

another bus this way. Also, 

Twp. fire department to host 

an open house on October 6 

In celebration of their 

50th anniversary and in 

conjunction with National 

Fire Prevention Week, the 

Perrysburg Township Fire 

Department will host an 

Open House from 11 a.m. 

to 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 

6 at the township 

public safety building, 

26711 Lime City Road, 


Open to the public , the 

event will feature family 

activities. 

At 1 p.m., there will be 

a live burn demonstration. 

“The side-by-side burns 

vividly show the tremendous 

speed of a typical 

home fire and its potential 

Drug take-back collection Sept. 29 

Area residents are invited 

to turn in their unused or expired 

medications at a drug 

“take-back” day on Saturday, 

September 29. 

The Rossford Police Department 

will assist the Drug 

Enforcement Administration 

with the collection. 

Locally, it will be held at 

the Target pharmacy, 9866 

Olde U.S. 20, from 10 a.m. to 

2 p.m. 

The service is free and 

anonymous, and no questions 

will be asked. 

Last April, Americans 

turned in 552,161 pounds–or 

276 tons–of prescription drugs 

at more than 5,600 sites operated 

by the DEA and nearly 

4,300 local law enforcement 

partners. 

In the four years of Take 

Back events, they have collected 

more than 1.5 million 

pounds–nearly 775 tons–of 

pills. 

The nationwide prescrip- 

this proposal leaves the disabled 

out in the cold/rain/heat 

when the municipal building 

is closed. 

Perrysburg’s disabled passengers 

need a TARPS-like 

service that takes them directly 

to their destination 

without having to change 

buses. This would uphold the 

promise made by Councilman 

Todd Grayson at the May 22 

Perrysburg City Council 

meeting. 

This additional service 

could be paid for by eliminating 

the fixed-route shuttle. 

Given that there is already a 

call-a-ride service in the proposal, 

the shuttle service is 

not necessary and costs more 

than the ADA service according 

to the consultants 

($315,120 vs. $235,944). 

Liz Ruffolo 

Dear Editor: 

When I managed Abundant 

Life #1 and #2, I could 

see how important Call-A- 

Ride and TARPS were to my 

residents’ lives. It was second-best 

to having their own 

means of transportation and 

sense of independence. 

Recently, I was in a boot 

on my right foot while some 

fractures were healing. This 

experience gave me an 

inkling as to what my residents’ 

lives are like daily. It 

was no fun! I am supporting 

the levy for public transportation 

on November 6, so that 

those who need public transportation 

have it available 

today or tomorrow when the 

occasion arises. 

Phyllis Morton 

for deadly destruction,” 

said Keith Feeney Sr., fire 

safety inspector. 

“Also illustrated will be 

the vital importance of 

home fire safety technology 

[smoke alarms and sprinkler 

systems] that save 

lives and reduce property 

damage,” he added. 

The fire inspector noted 

that more than 80 percent 

of all fire deaths occur in 

the home. “The fire department 

is using this important 

event to help people of all 

ages understand how dangerous 

a home fire is and 

the importance of prevention, 

detection, suppression 

and escape.” 

tion drug take-back initiative 

seeks to prevent increased pill 

abuse and theft by collecting 

potentially dangerous expired, 

unused and unwanted prescription 

drugs for destruction 

at sites nationwide. 

Studies show that a majority 

of abused prescription 

drugs are obtained from family 

and friends, including from 

the home medicine cabinet. 

Many Americans do not 

know how to properly dispose 

of their unused medicine, 

often flushing them down the 

toilet or throwing them 

away–both potential safety 

and health hazards. 

Many Americans are not 

aware that medicines in home 

cabinets are highly susceptible 

to diversion, misuse and 

abuse. 

Rates of prescription drug 

abuse in the United States are 

increasing at alarming rates, as 

are the number of accidental 

poisonings and overdoses. 

• HAVE BRUSH OUT AT 7:00 A.M. ON THE MONDAY OF THE START OF YOUR SECTION.

• Branches should be left as long as possible. 

• All piles must be neatly stacked 

• Brush will not be picked up from clearing of lots 

• Brush only is to be placed out at curb, no building materials, weeds, or any other materials. 

• There will be no brush drop off at Perrysburg Township Maintenance Department.

ODOT to save $10 million 

on rock salt this winter 

The Ohio Department of 

Transportation (ODOT) today 

expects state and local governments 

to save more than $10 

million this winter as a result 

of a change in the way salt 

contracts are obtained. 

In the past, ODOT asked 

salt companies to bid on contracts 

on a county-by-county 

basis. This year, the agency 

gave salt companies the option 

to provide bids on entire 

ODOT districts in addition to 

individual counties. The result 

is a statewide savings of 

$13.11 per ton of salt, which 

adds up to $10,159,700. 

“We never truly know 

what Mother Nature has in 

store for us each season, but 

one thing we do know is that 

ODOT will be fully prepared, 

and our work this winter will 

cost Ohio taxpayers less 

money,” said ODOT Director 

Jerry Wray. “This is yet another 

example of how we are 

demonstrating our success of 

identifying efficiencies here at 

SINCE 

1928 

ODOT so that we can provide 

the same great level of service 

to our customers but do it at a 

lower cost.” 

Last year, the state averaged 

$54.02 per ton of salt ordered. 

This year, the statewide 

average is $40.91 per ton. 

In Wood County the cost 

for rock salt is $41.90 per ton 

and in Lucas County, $41.01 

per ton. 

In addition to lower costs 

for ODOT, local governments 

will realize significant savings 

because many combine their 

salt needs with ODOT to improve 

purchasing power. 

Locally, Perrysburg, Perrysburg 

Township and Rossford 

are among jurisdictions 

that procure their rock salt 

through ODOT. 

In addition to the lower 

price per ton, ODOT alone expects 

to purchase 209,000 tons 

less salt this coming winter. 

Because last year’s winter was 

so mild, huge stockpiles of salt 

already exist. 

Perrysburg resident among retiring members of Owens board of trustees 

Retiring Owens Board of Trustees are, left, R.J. Molter 

and right, Allan Libbe with board chair Dee Talmage following 

the college's recent Board of Trustees meeting.

Jackets rout Springfield in Northern Lakes League opener 

By Scott Buker 


School varsity football team 

displayed a convincing victory 

in its Northern Lakes 

League opener. The Jackets 

scored 22 points in the first 

five minutes of the game to 

spark a 50-28 victory over 

the Springfield Blue Devils 

at Springfield High School 

last Friday night. 

PHS built a 50-0 halftime 

lead before sitting down 

many of their starters for the 

second half. 

The Jackets scored early 

and often beginning with 

their first drive of the game. 

Perrysburg took the ball 83 

yards and finalized the scoring 

drive with a one-yard 

touchdown run by junior 

Mark Delas. 

On the Blue Devils’ first 

possession, the Jacket defense 

forced a three and out 

to bring on the Springfield 

punting team. The snap 

sailed over the punter’s head 

and Perrysburg’s Kadin 

Llewellyn pounced on the 

ball and returned it six yards 

for the second Jacket touchdown. 

After a disappointing start 

to the 2012 season, the Perrysburg 

High School girls 

cross country team showed 

major signs of improvement 

at the Chet Sulwood Invitational 

held at the Ottawa Park 

Golf Course. 

Twenty of the 26 runners 

ran season best times and 

both the varsity and junior 

varisty teams finished third in 

their respective races. 

The varsity team was led 

by the 10th place finish of 

freshman Katie Menke 

(20:24) and the 14th place 

A Steve Slocum to Nate 

Patterson pass converted the 

two-point play, giving Perrysburg 

a 15-0 lead with 7:35 

to play in the opening quarter. 

On the second play of the 

next drive, Slocum, playing 

defense, intercepted a 

Springfield pass and turned it 

into six more points. After 

the extra point, Perrysburg 

took a 22-0 lead. 

Springfield, desperately 

trying to overcome the Jacket 

start, took control of their 

possession at their own eightyard 

line. The Devils converted 

on four first downs, 

driving down to the Perrysburg 

32-yard line before 

Llewellyn made his second 

big play of the game. 

The junior defensive end 

intercepted an attempted 

screen pass, killing the drive 

and giving the ball right back 

to the PHS offense. 

It took Perrysburg only 

two plays to capitalize as 

Slocum connected with Patterson 

on a 38-yard gain and 

then Slocum dashed into the 

end-zone from 18 yards out 

for the score, giving the Jack- 

The JV girls at the start of their race. 

PHS girls cross country team making strides 

finish of senior Emily

A group of runners that included 

Emily Henry (21:27), 

Allie Kemp (21:29), Jessica 

Bohenkamp (21:31), Allie 

Prybelski (21:32), and Brionnah 

Wyse (21:33) ran as a 

pack and solidified the strong 

team finish for the Yellow 

Jackets. Having five girls finish 

within six seconds of each 

other, working and finishing 

together, was a great sign for 

the young harriers. Running

ets a 29-0 lead at the end of 

the first quarter. 

After a three and out from 

Springfield, Austin Bishop 

caught his second touchdown 

pass of the season for the 

Jackets. The senior receiver 

hauled in a six-yard slant 

from Slocum at the 10:23 

mark in the second quarter 

making the score 36-0. 

Two quick screen plays to 

sophomore Seth Durham led 

to the Jackets’ next score, this 

one again coming from 

Slocum, courtesy of an 11yard 

touchdown run. 

Delas scored his second 

touchdown of the night with 

1:34 to play in the half on a 

68-yard run, pushing the 

score to 50-0 heading into 

halftime. 

With many of the PHS reserves 

playing, the Blue Devils 

were able to score 28 

points during the second half 

to make the final score 50-28 

in favor of Perrysburg. 

The Jackets improve to 3- 

1 overall and 1-0 in the 

Northern Lakes League, 

while the Blue Devils fall to 

0-4 overall and 0-1 in the 

league. 

Amanda Poll (25:27) ran

Graham’s Foundation golf outing 

raises more than $10,000 

The fourth annual Golfing 

for Graham’s Foundation 

fund-raiser tournament was 

held recently at Stone Ridge 

Golf Club in Bowling Green. 

Many golfers participated in 

the event held to support the 

local nonprofit organization’s 

mission to give practical and 

emotional support to parents 

coping with the difficulties 

associated with premature 

birth. 

More than $10,000 was 

raised from the event which 

include special promotions on 

the eighth and ninth holes, 

where LPGA aspirant, 45th 

California Women's Amateur 

Championship runner up, and 

former micro-preemie Petra 

Cole helped golfers ready 

putts and hit extra tee shots. 

“The atmosphere this year 

was full of excitement, and I 

was so glad to be a part of the 

tournament for a second year 

in a row,” said Ms. Cole, who 

is a regular supporter of Graham's 

Foundation. “It really 

felt like each and every person 

on the green was proud to 

be out there contributing to 

such a fabulous cause. Great 

people and a great course 

made the day amazing.” 

The event was about more 

than just hitting the 

green–even if hitting the 

green meant the chance to 

win prizes on various holes, 

including a Mercedes 2012 

c300 4matic (sponsored by 

Vin Devers Autohaus of Sylvania) 

for an ace on the 5. 

The money raised, on and off 

the course with the help of the 

Stone Ridge staff and Graham’s 

Foundation volunteers 

and sponsors, is coming at a 

critical time in the nonprofit’s 

growth. 

Though Graham’s Foundation 

calls Ohio home, it operates 

nationally and now has 

a broader reach than ever before 

according to Nick Hall, 

who founded the non-profit 

with his wife Jennifer after 

they experienced the birth of 

twins at just 25 weeks before 

facing the trials of the NICU 

and the loss of one child. 

“Events like this give us 

the resources we need to continue 

evolving and expanding,” 

he said. “At Graham’s 

Foundation’s inception, we 

were focused primarily on 

getting a few hundred care 

packages into the hands of 

parents of premature infants. 

Now, thanks to generous support 

from donors and corporate 

sponsors, we’re able to 

provide tens of thousands of 

care packages to moms and 

dads of preemies, while also 

creating new initiatives like 

Parents of Preemies Day and 

becoming a central resource 

for parents who need help.” 

Road Closure 

Five Point Road, on the west side of SR 25, 

will be closed at SR 25 for utility work. Tentative 

schedule has work beginning September 

20. Weather permitting it is anticipated the 

work will be complete by October 4. Thank 

you in advance for your patience during this 

construction.

‘Understanding the Healthcare Debate’ 

forum at Bethel Assembly of God Sept. 25 


to attend a free “Understanding 

the Healthcare Debate” 

forum with nationally recognized 

author and writer Dr. 

C.L. Gray. 

The program will be 

held Tuesday, September 

25, from 7 to 9 p.m., at 

Bethel Assembly of God, 

665 West Indiana Avenue, 


As a full-time practicing 

physician who founded 

Physicians for Reform, Dr. 

Gray gives citizens a different 

perspective from the 

high-politicized debate. 

Researching more than 

2,500 years of healthcare 

philosophies, Dr. Gray reveals 

how physicians have 

served one of two possible 

roles in culture: either serving 

the wellbeing of the individual 

patient or 

functioning as a servant to 

the state. 

Dr. Gray ties this history 

into the current healthcare 

law and economic situation, 

and defines what this means 

for patients. 

“Citizens find the per- 

sonal aspects of healthcare 

reform the most important. 

They continue to ask, ‘What 

does this mean for me?’ My 

research, insight and experience 

hopefully will provide 

those answers,” said Dr. 

Gray. 

Giving his first lecture on 

healthcare reform more than 

a decade ago in 1999, Dr. 

Gray has written extensively 

on this issue, including a 

book, “The Battle for America’s 

Soul: Healthcare, the 

Culture War, and the Future 

of Freedom,” and a policy 

paper, “Cutting the Gordian 

Knot: A Patient-Centered, 

Fiscally Responsible Plan 

for Healthcare Reform.” 

Sponsored by Physicians 

for Reform and several other 

organizations, the educational 

forum is free and open 

to the public. 

Following Dr. Gray’s 

presentation will be a 

question-and-answer session. 

Dr. Gray is founder of the 

non-profit, non-partisan 

group Physicians for Re-

MESSENGER JOURNAL 

SECOND SECTION WWW.PERRYSBURG.COM 

Historic Perrysburg, Inc. 

(HPI) has been working on 

three projects allowing Perrysburg 

history to be more 

accessible to community 

members and visitors. 

Historic Information 

Historical information 

is available at Way Public 

Library in the local history 

room and on Historic Perrysburg’s 

Web site at 

www.historicperrysburg. 

org. 

Walking Tours 

Another project is walking 

tours of Perrysburg historic 

homes. Self-guided 

walking tour guides are 

available in several downtown 

businesses displaying 

a black and yellow merchant 

partner sign. 

Building Histories 

Zingo’s is the first recipient 

of Historic Perrysburg’s 

individual building 

history. 

“This project makes history 

come alive in the city’s 

old buildings,” said Dave 

Hoffmann, HPI vice president 

and project manager. 

“It all began when 

David Spirling asked about 

some old signs he found in 

the basement of the building 

that he and his wife 

purchased in 2005, at 106 

Louisiana Avenue,” 

explained Mr. Hoffmann. 

The Spirlings refurbished 

the building and 

opened Zingo’s Mediterranean 

restaurant. 

Mr. Hoffmann stated 

that these projects are possible 

because of Historic 

Perrysburg membership. 

Building history signs 

are available through HPI 

Web site. 


Canines Care...Give Hope...Save Lives 

American Cancer Society annual ‘Red, White and Bark for Life’ dog walk, barbecue and activities raises more than $15,000 

Canines care, give hope and save lives...and on Sunday, September 9, canines were 

the center of attention at the third annual American Cancer Society “Red, White and 

Bark for Life” dog walk and festivities at Fort Meigs. Bark for Life honors the care giving 

qualities of everyone’s “best friends.” It offers an opportunity for people to be 

empowered through their canine companions’ partnerships and to contribute to cancer 

cures through the mission of ACS. Canine companions represent unconditional love, 

security, joy, compassion and no judgements of human abilities or appearances. 

Following the one-mile walk through the fort, a blessing of the dogs was given by 

Pastor Ann Marshall from Zoar Lutheran Church. During the event, participants were 

able to tour the fort museum, visit vendors, enjoy lunch and have fun at the YMCA Fun 

Kelly Krueger brought her dog Tucker and her father 

Duane Krueger to the event. 

Pictured along with the new historic sign is the Spirling family–Erika, Dave and 

daughter Mabel, along with Mr. Hoffmann. “What a nice addition to have the history 

of our home and business displayed,” said Mr. Spirling. 

The sign was designed by Rex Russell of Big Daddy Graphics. 

“Welcome back classmates. 

We are the children of 

the Great Depression and the 

greatest generation. We are 

the uniquely bonded Perrysburg 

High School class of 

’47 celebrating more than 65 

years of enduring friendship,” 

said Bill Williams, at 

the class reunion September 

8 at the Holiday Inn French 

Quarter. “And no one has 

changed a bit.” 

Seventy-four students 

graduated in the class of 

1947. And 18 classmates and 

nine spouses attended the 

reunion to reminisce, share 

stories and remember those 

who have passed away over 

the years. 

Members unable to attend 

the reunion were Thea (Bateson)

gasoline was 15 cents a gallon, 

the average price of a 

new home was $6,600, the 

average earning was $2,850 

and an ice cream cone was 

10 cents. 

“Also, only girls wore 

earrings and only in their 

ears,” he added. 

A special award of excellence 

was presented to classmate 

Bill King by Mr. 

Williams. 

The award states the following: 

“William King Jr. has 

been quietly giving back to 

his community all of his life. 

His dedication to country by 

his service as a Marine in 

Korea and contributions to 

the community makes us, his 

old classmates extremely 

proud of him. 

“Bill’s volunteer activities 

at Zoar Lutheran Church 

through the years include 

fund-raising, carpentry 

repairs, construction and creating 

services for veterans. 

He has many involvements 

Jeff Normand brought his dog Missy 

to the walk. 

PHS 1947 classmates Mr. Williams, Mr. Frazier and Mr. King. At the end of this 

month, Korean War veterans Mr. Williams and Mr. King will board Honor Flight of 

Northwest Ohio to visit the memorials in Washington, D.C. 

in numerous helping organizations. 

“His devotion and contributions 

to veterans has been 

outstanding. He has served 

as Commander both at the 

American Legion and the 

Veterans of Foreign Wars 

posts along with every office. 

He has marched in countless 

parades, participated in 

numerous military funerals, 

and each year places memorial 

flags at local cemeteries. 

“Bill has taken the leadership 

in our class reunions 

though the years, assisted by 

his loving wife Cathy. 

“We appreciate your contributions 

and thank you 

classmate.” 

And in five years, the 

class of 1947 is planning to 

celebrate their 70th reunion.

Similar in concept to the 

successful Truck Shield program, 

Community Shield provides

training on how to identify 

possible criminal behavior on 

Ohio’s roadways, and tools for 

contacting the Patrol at #677 in

and resources to the problem 

area. 

Community Shield training, 

which will be delivered by 

Patrol officers in a onehour 

training block during scheduled 

presentations, consists of 

instruction in impaired driver

Free ‘myHome Inventory’ and “WreckCheck” 

Smartphone insurance apps available 

Ohio insurance consumers 

can now more easily and accurately 

maintain inventory 

of their possessions and exchange 

information after an 

auto accident without compromising 

their identity with 

free myHome Inventory and 

WreckCheck smartphone insurance 

apps, Ohio Lieutenant 

Governor and 

Insurance Director Mary 

Taylor announced. 

The iPhone and Android 

compatible apps were developed 

by the National Association 

of Insurance 

Commissioners (NAIC) in 

which the Ohio Department 

of Insurance is a member. 

“Documenting possessions 

with a home inventory 

is the most important step 

homeowners and renters can 

take to make sure they have 

enough coverage to fully 

protect and replace their 

valuables if something happens,” 

Ms. Taylor said. 

“For those involved in an 

automobile accident, drivers 

should only share names and 

vehicle insurance information. 

Sharing additional personal 

information, such as 

driver’s license numbers and 

home addresses can put consumers, 

their property and 

their safety at risk.” 

Recent surveys conducted 

by the NAIC revealed 

that half of all 

Americans do not have a 

home inventory and many 

also are unclear about what 

information to share at a 

crash site, such as when to 

call the police or what personal 

information to exchange 

with the other driver. 

The average claim payment 

for damage to or loss 

of home contents in Ohio 

was $6,417 in 2010, while 

identity theft is one of the 

fastest-growing crimes in 

the United States, according 

to the Federal Trade Commission 

(FTC). 

The myHOMEScr.APP. 

book app lets users quickly 

photograph and capture images, 

descriptions, bar codes 

and serial numbers, and then 

stores them electronically 

for safekeeping. 

The app organizes information 

room by room, and 

even creates a back-up file 

for email sharing. 

The WreckCheck mobile 

application can help eliminate 

the risk of sharing too 

much personal information. 

It outlines what to do im- 

mediately after an auto accident 

and helps users create 

their own report. 

The app makes it easy to 

capture photos and document 

the necessary information 

to file an insurance 

claim, and lets users email a 

completed report directly to 

themselves and their insurance 

agents. 

Ohioans with insurance 

questions or concerns can 

call the department’s consumer 

hotline at 1-800-686- 

1526 and visit www. 

insurance. ohio.gov for free 

information.

Put pumkins to use in many different ways 

Autumn is the season when 

pumpkins are ripe for the picking, 

and thousands of people 

flock to local farms and roadside 

vendors to select perfect 

pumpkins. Many pumpkins 

are turned into decorative jacko’-lanterns 

for Halloween, 

only to be tossed in the trash 

come November 1. That could 

be because many people are 

unaware of the various ways 

they can put pumpkins to good 

use. 

Pumpkins are gourds and 

members of the squash family 

and have been grown and used 

for thousands of years. Evidence 

suggests that pumpkins 

date back to 7000 B.C., possibly 

originating in Mexico. 

Today they are widely used for 

decorating around Halloween, 

but there are many other things 

that can be done with pumpkins. 

• Create a food vessel. 

Pumpkins can be transformed 

into bowls to hold soup, 

punch, fruit, or even dips. 

Make sure the pumpkin has 

been cleaned well of its pulp 

and seeds, as well as the 

stringy flesh that is inside. Rub 

the inside walls of the pumpkin 

with oil to keep them from 

drying out and caving in, then 

fill with your food of choice. 

• Make pumpkin puree. 

Puree from a pumpkin can be 

used in all types of recipes, 

from soups to baked goods. 

The puree also can replace the 

oil in cake recipes. Cut the 

pumpkin and scoop out the 

seeds and stringy membranes. 

Then place it cut-side-down in 

a pan with a little water in the 

bottom. Bake at 350ºF for 

around 90 minutes. The flesh 

will become tender and easily 

removable. Blend the resulting 

puree in a food processor and 

reserve flesh for recipes. Some 

pumpkins are sweeter or better 

to use as part of recipes. Check 

the variety you’re purchasing. 

• Whip up a facial. Use 

some pumpkin puree with a 

little brown sugar and a dash 

of milk to create a vitamin-rich 

facial mask. 

• Get illuminated. Turn hollowed-out 

mini pumpkins into 

candles. Melt soy wax, 

beeswax or the gel type of candle 

wax that can be found at 

most craft stores. Add your favorite 

scent and place a wick 

into the bottom of the pumpkin. 

Then pour the wax into 

hallowed-out space and allow 

it to harden. 

Try the same thing with 

bumpy and multi-colored 

gourds for added decorating 

appeal. 

• Turn the pumpkin into a 

flower pot. Fill a hollow 

pumpkin with soil. You may 

not have to worry about scraping 

the pumpkin completely 

clean because the pulp can be 

used to help fertilize the potting 

soil. Plant your favorite 

fall flowers into the festive and 

earth-friendly flower pot. 

When the pumpkin shows 

signs of rotting, simply put the 

whole thing into a traditional 

flower pot or bury it directly in 

the ground.

PET OF THE WEEK 

Hi, my name is Lena! I originally came to 

the shelter with my sister and we went into 

foster together, but I was a little jealous of 

her so I was returned. I'm still working on 

house training/crate training and am making 

progress! I absolutely love being the 

center of attention and being around people. 

I'm not super active, but would love to 

go for walks and play outside. Stuffed animals 

provide much comfort and I carry 

them around with me wherever I go. If you're looking for a sweet, 

small dog to add to your lifestyle, stop out and meet me today! 

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.

beautiful match at first singles 

against senior Sarah 

Jankowski. Jaden did a great 

job at returning Sarah’s hard 

hitting ground strokes. 

Jaden did her best in trying 

to move her opponent side to 

side with her well placed 

slice returns. Jaden took 

both sets to a tie breaker but 

fell short losing 7-6, 7-6. 

Kennedy Northcutt was 

up against a very tall and 

consistent opponent in 

Mackenzie Krieg. Kennedy 

is very good at chasing 

down lots of balls in every 

match she plays. Her opponent 

this time was just as 

good at playing defense but 

from a higher vantage point. 

Kennedy ended up losing 

the match, 6-1, 6-2. 

Moira Sams took the 

early lead in her third singles 

match against Madie Smith. 

As the first set progressed, 

Madie started to improve her 

game and better used the 

very windy conditions to her 

advantage. Moira fought 

hard in both sets but ended 

up losing 6-4, 7-6. 

Both doubles matches 

also were very close. Jordan 

Spidel and Sarah Fastnacht 

took awhile to get adjusted 

to the wind and their opponents 

aggressive style of 

play. They lost the first set 

6-3. In the second set, the 

PHS team decided to double 

back. This strategy was 

much more effective against 

this team. They fought hard 

throughout the second set to 

get to a 7 point tie breaker 

for the set. They ended up 

losing the tie breaker and the 

set. The final score was 6-3, 

7-6. 

The undefeated second 

doubles team of Grace Conley 

and Camryn Kiel took on 

the undefeated AW team of 

Megan Gucciardo and Jordyn 

Cousino. This match 

was an exciting match from 

beginning to end. Grace and 

Camryn came out strong the 

first set with well placed 

volleys and overheads. PHS 

won 6-3. 

In the second set, the AW 

team adjusted their strategy 

and played more consistently, 

winning it 6-3. 

In the third and final set, 

both teams battled back and 

forth. In the end, the AW 

team pulled out the victory 

with a 7-5 win. 

On Thursday, September 

13, PHS took on Napoleon 

at Perrysburg Tennis Center. 

PHS won all three singles 

positions. Jaden won a 

three-set match after 2-1/2 

hours of playing, with a 

score of 6-4, 5-7, 6-3. Her 

sister Kennedy won her 

three-set match 4-6, 6-2, 6- 

1. Winning easily in two sets 

was Moira 6-1, 6-0. 

Napoleon is known for 

having strong doubles 

teams. Alexis and Jordan 

played first doubles and 

fought hard but came up 

short losing 6-4, 6-3.
