PERRYSBURG YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER 1935 1853 VOLUME 161, NUMBER 36 – SEPTEMBER 4, 2013 ©WELCH PUBLISHING COMPANY, PERRYSBURG, OHIO, (419) 874-4491 PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER 75¢ SINGLE COPY Mayor ‘mugs’ Jack Hoeflinger and Rachel Johnson City to move forward with phase one of Riverfront master plan–multi-use path By Deb Buker With mixed reviews from residents, Perrysburg City Council will move forward with phase one of the Riverfront master plan–a multi-use path from Hood Park to Orleans Park. At a prior meeting of the city’s recreation committee, Council President and committee chairman Joe Lawless recommended that the Riverfront plan be separated into phases. Phase one being the multi-use path connecting Hood and Orleans parks as well as the recently opened multi-use path from Orleans Park to the Perrysburg/Maumee bridge. The existing path is a 10- foot wide asphalt path which was funded 80 percent by a grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation–a total cost of $228,000. According to the master plan, the path or “River Trail is proposed to offer options for moving along the river in an area east of the wastewater treatment facility that can offer spectacular views downriver. “The River Trail extension/connections are proposed to be smooth pavement, such as asphalt. Given the anticipated multi-use aspect of the trail that includes pedestrians, bicyclists, strollers, in-line skaters and the like, as well as occasional vehicular access for service and emergencies, the master plan recommends a trail width of 10 to 12 feet.” “We have talked many years about this [the riverfront],” said Councilman Rep. Tim Brown discusses state budget, unemployment benefits Tim McCarthy. “We want to be sensitive to property owners, and we want it to be high quality. We want this to be something we can be proud of, something we can build on. Let’s do this carefully, and let’s do this right.” Residents voiced concerns both for and against the riverfront plan. Deborah Born presented a petition to council with more than 250 signatures opposed to the master plan. She requested that council take no further action on the plan. Resident Denny Barrett said he is against the $25 million proposal but is in favor of the multi-use path. “My only concern is that I don’t want to spend another $50,000 to $60,000 to have someone tell us what kind of path to have–ask us,” he told council. Six-year resident Alex Heard presented a petition in support of the entire master plan and recommended council move forward. He said the plan is creative, exciting and it is the future for the community. “Be bold and march forward with all phases of this project now,” he told council. “It would be gutless to hold this project for the next council.” Paul Belazis, a Front Street resident, said his concern is what the path will look like. “The process began two years ago with a grant through TMACOG,” he said. “What it looks like is based on grant requirements–it is dictated by the grant. Don’t link ourselves Representative Brown was the guest speaker at the August luncheon meeting of the Perrysburg Area Chamber of Commerce. From left are Debbie Paul, chamber president; Mike Schmidt, chamber board member; Mr. Brown, and Sandy Latchem, chamber executive director. By Beth Church When State Representative Tim Brown took his new position in Columbus this year, the state budget was the largest item on his plate. He describes the decisions made on the $60 billion budget as “one of the most important processes our state engages in.” But as a new state legislator, learning about the budget and many other issues in the past eight months has been a little overwhelming. “It’s like trying to drink from a fire hose–it’s a lot all at once,” Mr. Brown said at the August luncheon meeting of the Perrysburg Area Chamber of Commerce. Enjoying that learning process, he described his new role as “a remarkable experience.” Mr. Brown serves on three committees: State and Local Government, Health and Aging, and Banking and Financial Institutions. He was pleased to see a positive outcome for the state budget, which has a surplus–compared to the last biennial budget which had to compensate for an $8 billion shortfall. “It also has restored funding in a number of areas that previously had been cut,” he explained. Unfortunately, he noted that local government “endured its fair share of cuts” of state funding. As a former county commissioner, he has watched the impact on local government and supported finding ways to restore that funding. Rep. Brown said an additional $650 million is provided in this budget for Ohio schools. Seventy percent of school districts saw an increase in funding, he noted, and no district had its state funding cut. “Additionally, all school districts were guaranteed for the next two years to get at least what they got this year,” he added. The budget also increased funds for school transportation and special education. Mr. Brown told chamber members who are small business owners that they will see a 50 percent decrease in taxes on the first $250,000 that is earned, as well as a 7 percent permanent reduction in income tax next year. “That’s a total of $2.7 billion the state leaves in your hands through tax reform,” he said. The state budget also provides $40 million additional for workforce development, which Rep. Brown believes can help reverse the shortage of skilled workers in Ohio. The state representative is proud that the first bill he sponsored, House Bill 2, was passed and signed by the governor two weeks ago. It requires all applicants for unemployment insurance to register with the Web site OhioMeansJobs.com prior to applying for benefits. “The requirements will ensure that unemployment insurance applicants and recipients are maximizing their job search opportunities and will help connect them to new services from the state,” he said. One aspect of the law ensures that applicants receive a weekly listing of available jobs based on specific information provided by the applicant. Rep. Brown believes it is important for Ohio to have “a safety net for people who can’t work–we have an Mayor Nelson Evans recognized Jack Hoeflinger and Rachel Johnson with a “mugging” at the August 20 city council meeting for their hard work and dedication with the “Go Perrysburg4Transit” committee.

Councilman Lawless stated that the surface has not been determined yet and administration will review the grant requirements. Perrysburg resident Diane Bishop requested a less obtrusive path preserving the natural environment. “I am also concerned about the money–where is all this money going to come from?” she questioned. “I don’t want a levy for this.” Councilman Mike Olmstead said no final decision will be made other than to explore the pathway. “We certainly have different views on what we should do here,” he said. “The path/trail is a common thread–a fairly common theme in both camps. Bottom line is that acceptance of this motion by no means has any final determinant on anything other than let’s explore phase one and move forward.” Councilman Tom Mackin said, “As a community, we have to look at this long term. The younger people want access to the river and we have to be open to that. This is a good first step.” Other Business In other business, council: •Approved the $83,618 agreement with Taylor obligation to help.” However, he pointed out a number of problems in the unemployment system, such as benefits going to people because they refuse to work second shift or they take drugs and fail workplace drug tests. “You have to show due diligence to participate in the process we have in Ohio to help you find work,” he said. “To make it easy for people to not work is not a good system,” he said. In part the bill was inspired by an idea from county government, he said, concerning transitional work. County workers who have been sick or injured are given transitional duties, with the support of a doctor, and their recovery rate is faster when they are given light duty. “They are around their peers, not at home, watching TV and eating bad which leads to depression,” he said. Rep. Brown was pleased to receive broad bipartisan support for his bill; of 99 representatives, only 12 voted against it, and only one of 33 opposed it in the Senate. Another work-related proposal he would like to see implemented would allow unemployment benefits to be used for workers who have had their hours reduced. “It would prevent layoffs– we could use unemployment funds to make up the difference in wages, but the employees will still receive health insurance,” he said. “And it's cost effective for the business to keep them coming in at limited hours.” Rep. Brown encouraged chamber members to be vocal with suggestions for improving the state’s economy. He described Governor John Kasich as “an idea guy,” although he acknowledged the ideas have been good and bad. “Some I’ve supported and some I’ve voted against,” he added. “But he challenges us.” Rep. Brown also told chamber members about the Common Sense Initiative of the governor’s office. He encouraged them to send e- mail suggestions of business problems, especially unnecessary regulations. Noting that Ohio’s economy was once the seventh largest in the world, he said, “we’ve gotten away from that.” He believes part of the solution to improving the economy is “to get people trained and ready to be in the workforce.” “Everywhere I go I hear, ‘I can’t find workers.’” Penta Career Center is “a shining example” offering Chevrolet for the purchase of three replacement vehicles for the police division. •Authorized a $110,000 agreement with Proudfoot Associates for design work on Jefferson Street. •Scheduled the following meetings: finance, Tuesday, September 10, 5 p.m.; recreation, Monday, September 16, 5 p.m.; economic development, Monday, September 16, 5:30 p.m.; servicesafety, Tuesday, September 17, 5:30 p.m., and planning and zoning, Wednesday, September 18, 5 p.m. The next meeting of city council is Tuesday, September 17, 6:30 p.m. All meeting are held in the municipal building and are open to the public. such training, he said, with programs from pet grooming to cosmetology to construction. “We need people in every segment of this economy participating,” he said. One of the serious deficiencies in the state legislature, Rep. Brown shared with chamber members is term limits. “There's not a lot of institutional knowledge in Columbus” because state legislators can serve a maximum of only eight years. “We value experience for every walk of life, but devalue experience for those who go to Columbus and make our laws,” he said. Rep. Brown believes that term limits shift power to lobbyists, staffs and the governor and away from the legislature. Because of term limits, most state legislators keep their jobs back home, he said, and have asked for a compressed schedule in Columbus for state business. The drawback is “you can’t take time to get to know your colleagues and those across the aisle,” he said. He believes that fellowship is important. “We need to work together, especially in a challenging economy like this,” he added. Superintendent reviews strategic plan update for 2013 By Deb Buker The mission of the Perrysburg School District is “ensuring students achieve their greatest potential.” And each year, the district reviews the goals and accomplishments of its administrators and reports progress through the district’s strategic plan.

City to move forward with phase one <strong>of</strong> Riverfront master plan–multi-use path<br />

By Deb Buker<br />

With mixed reviews<br />

from residents, <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

City Council will move forward<br />

with phase one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Riverfront master plan–a<br />

multi-use path from Hood<br />

Park to Orleans Park.<br />

At a prior meeting <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

city’s recreation committee,<br />

Council President and committee<br />

chairman Joe Lawless<br />

recommended that <strong>the</strong><br />

Riverfront plan be separated<br />

into phases. Phase one being<br />

<strong>the</strong> multi-use path connecting<br />

Hood and Orleans parks<br />

as well as <strong>the</strong> recently<br />

opened multi-use path from<br />

Orleans Park to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong>/Maumee<br />

bridge.<br />

The existing path is a 10-<br />

foot wide asphalt path<br />

which was funded 80 percent<br />

by a grant from <strong>the</strong><br />

Ohio Department <strong>of</strong> Transportation–a<br />

total cost <strong>of</strong><br />

$228,000.<br />

According to <strong>the</strong> master<br />

plan, <strong>the</strong> path or “River<br />

said Councilman<br />

Tim McCarthy. “We want to<br />

be sensitive to property<br />

owners, and we want it to be<br />

high quality. We want this to<br />

be something we can be<br />

proud <strong>of</strong>, something we can<br />

build on. Let’s do this carefully,<br />

and let’s do this right.”<br />

Residents voiced concerns<br />

both for and against<br />

<strong>the</strong> riverfront plan.<br />

a petition to council with<br />

more than 250 signatures<br />

opposed to <strong>the</strong> master plan.<br />

She requested that council<br />

said he is against <strong>the</strong> $25<br />

favor <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> multi-use path.<br />

“My only concern is that<br />

I don’t want to spend ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />

By Beth Church<br />

When State Representative<br />

Tim Brown took his new<br />

position in Columbus this<br />

year, <strong>the</strong> state budget was <strong>the</strong><br />

largest item on his plate.<br />

He describes <strong>the</strong> decisions<br />

made on <strong>the</strong> $60 billion<br />

budget as “one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most<br />

important processes our state<br />

engages in.”<br />

But as a new state legislator,<br />

learning about <strong>the</strong> budget<br />

and many o<strong>the</strong>r issues in <strong>the</strong><br />

past eight months has been a<br />

little overwhelming.<br />

“It’s like trying to drink<br />

from a fire hose–it’s a lot all<br />

at once,” Mr. Brown said at<br />

<strong>the</strong> August luncheon meeting<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong> Area<br />

Chamber <strong>of</strong> Commerce.<br />

Enjoying that learning<br />

process, he described his<br />

new role as “a remarkable<br />

experience.”<br />

Mr. Brown serves on<br />

three committees: State and<br />

Local Government, Health<br />

and Aging, and Banking and<br />

Financial Institutions.<br />

He was pleased to see a<br />

positive outcome for <strong>the</strong> state<br />

budget, which has a surplus–compared<br />

to <strong>the</strong> last<br />

biennial budget which had to<br />

compensate for an $8 billion<br />

shortfall.<br />

“It also has restored funding<br />

in a number <strong>of</strong> areas that<br />

previously had been cut,” he<br />

explained.<br />

Unfortunately, he noted<br />

that local government<br />

“endured its fair share <strong>of</strong><br />

cuts” <strong>of</strong> state funding.<br />

As a former county commissioner,<br />

he has watched<br />

<strong>the</strong> impact on local government<br />

and supported finding<br />

ways to restore that funding.<br />

Rep. Brown said an additional<br />

$650 million is provided<br />

in this budget for Ohio<br />

schools.<br />

Seventy percent <strong>of</strong> school<br />

districts saw an increase in<br />

funding, he noted, and no<br />

district had its state funding<br />

cut.<br />

“Additionally, all school<br />

districts were guaranteed for<br />

<strong>the</strong> next two years to get at<br />

least what <strong>the</strong>y got this year,”<br />

he added.<br />

The budget also increased<br />

funds for school transportation<br />

and special education.<br />

Mr. Brown told chamber<br />

members who are small business<br />

owners that <strong>the</strong>y will<br />

see a 50 percent decrease in<br />

taxes on <strong>the</strong> first $250,000<br />

that is earned, as well as a 7<br />

percent permanent reduction<br />

in income tax next year.<br />

“That’s a total <strong>of</strong> $2.7 billion<br />

<strong>the</strong> state leaves in your<br />

hands through tax reform,”<br />

he said.<br />

The state budget also provides<br />

$40 million additional<br />

for workforce development,<br />

which Rep. Brown believes<br />

can help reverse <strong>the</strong> shortage<br />

<strong>of</strong> skilled workers in Ohio.<br />

The state representative is<br />

proud that <strong>the</strong> first bill he<br />

sponsored, House Bill 2, was<br />

passed and signed by <strong>the</strong><br />

governor two weeks ago.<br />

It requires all applicants<br />

for unemployment insurance<br />

to register with <strong>the</strong> Web site<br />

OhioMeansJobs.com prior to<br />

applying for benefits.<br />

“The requirements will<br />

ensure that unemployment<br />

insurance applicants and<br />

recipients are maximizing<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir job search opportunities<br />

and will help connect <strong>the</strong>m<br />

to new services from <strong>the</strong><br />

state,” he said.<br />

One aspect <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> law<br />

ensures that applicants<br />

receive a weekly listing <strong>of</strong><br />

available jobs based on specific<br />

information provided by<br />

<strong>the</strong> applicant.<br />

Rep. Brown believes it is<br />

important for Ohio to have<br />

“a safety net for people who<br />

can’t work–we have an<br />

Mayor Nelson Evans recognized Jack Hoeflinger and Rachel Johnson with a<br />

“mugging” at <strong>the</strong> August 20 city council meeting for <strong>the</strong>ir hard work and dedication<br />

Mr. Hoeflinger, left, and Ms. Johnson each received a City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong> mug.<br />

to <strong>the</strong> grant.”<br />

One requirement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

TMACOG grant is a hard<br />

surface to comply with <strong>the</strong><br />

Americans Disabilities Act.<br />

Councilman Lawless<br />

stated that <strong>the</strong> surface has<br />

not been determined yet and<br />

administration will review<br />

<strong>the</strong> grant requirements.<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> resident<br />

Diane Bishop requested a<br />

less obtrusive path preserving<br />

<strong>the</strong> natural environment.<br />

“I am also concerned about<br />

<strong>the</strong> money–where is all this<br />

money going to come<br />

from?” she questioned. “I<br />

don’t want a levy for this.”<br />

Councilman Mike Olmstead<br />

said no final decision<br />

will be made o<strong>the</strong>r than to<br />

explore <strong>the</strong> pathway.<br />

“We certainly have different<br />

views on what we<br />

should do here,” he said.<br />

“The path/trail is a common<br />

thread–a fairly common<br />

<strong>the</strong>me in both camps. Bottom<br />

line is that acceptance<br />

<strong>of</strong> this motion by no means<br />

has any final determinant on<br />

anything o<strong>the</strong>r than let’s<br />

explore phase one and move<br />

forward.”<br />

Councilman Tom<br />

Mackin said, “As a community,<br />

we have to look at this<br />

long term. The younger people<br />

want access to <strong>the</strong> river<br />

and we have to be open to<br />

that. This is a good first<br />

step.”<br />

In o<strong>the</strong>r business, council:<br />

•Approved <strong>the</strong> $83,618<br />

agreement with Taylor<br />

However, he pointed out a<br />

number <strong>of</strong> problems in <strong>the</strong><br />

unemployment system, such<br />

as benefits going to people<br />

because <strong>the</strong>y refuse to work<br />

second shift or <strong>the</strong>y take<br />

drugs and fail workplace<br />

drug tests.<br />

“You have to show due<br />

diligence to participate in <strong>the</strong><br />

process we have in Ohio to<br />

help you find work,” he said.<br />

“To make it easy for people<br />

to not work is not a good<br />

system,” he said.<br />

In part <strong>the</strong> bill was<br />

inspired by an idea from<br />

county government, he said,<br />

concerning transitional work.<br />

County workers who have<br />

been sick or injured are given<br />

transitional duties, with <strong>the</strong><br />

support <strong>of</strong> a doctor, and <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

recovery rate is faster when<br />

<strong>the</strong>y are given light duty.<br />

“They are around <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

peers, not at home, watching<br />

TV and eating bad which<br />

leads to depression,” he said.<br />

Rep. Brown was pleased<br />

to receive broad bipartisan<br />

support for his bill; <strong>of</strong> 99<br />

representatives, only 12<br />

voted against it, and only one<br />

<strong>of</strong> 33 opposed it in <strong>the</strong> Senate.<br />

proposal he would like to see<br />

implemented would allow<br />

unemployment benefits to be<br />

used for workers who have<br />

had <strong>the</strong>ir hours reduced.<br />

“It would prevent lay<strong>of</strong>fs–<br />

we could use unemployment<br />

funds to make up<br />

<strong>the</strong> difference in wages, but<br />

<strong>the</strong> employees will still<br />

receive health insurance,” he<br />

said. “And it's cost effective<br />

for <strong>the</strong> business to keep <strong>the</strong>m<br />

coming in at limited hours.”<br />

Rep. Brown encouraged<br />

chamber members to be<br />

vocal with suggestions for<br />

improving <strong>the</strong> state’s economy.<br />

He described Governor<br />

John Kasich as “an idea<br />

guy,” although he acknowledged<br />

<strong>the</strong> ideas have been<br />

good and bad.<br />

“Some I’ve supported and<br />

some I’ve voted against,” he<br />

added. “But he challenges<br />

us.”<br />

Rep. Brown also told<br />

chamber members about <strong>the</strong><br />

Common Sense Initiative <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> governor’s <strong>of</strong>fice. He<br />

encouraged <strong>the</strong>m to send e-<br />

mail suggestions <strong>of</strong> business<br />

problems, especially unnecessary<br />

regulations.<br />

Noting that Ohio’s economy<br />

was once <strong>the</strong> seventh<br />

largest in <strong>the</strong> world, he said,<br />

“we’ve gotten away from<br />

that.”<br />

He believes part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

solution to improving <strong>the</strong><br />

economy is “to get people<br />

trained and ready to be in <strong>the</strong><br />

workforce.”<br />

“Everywhere I go I hear,<br />

‘I can’t find workers.’”<br />

Penta Career Center is “a<br />

shining example” <strong>of</strong>fering<br />

<strong>of</strong> three replacement vehicles<br />

agreement with Proudfoot<br />

<strong>September</strong> 18, 5 p.m.<br />

The next meeting <strong>of</strong> city<br />

council is Tuesday, <strong>September</strong><br />

17, 6:30 p.m. All meeting<br />

are held in <strong>the</strong> municipal<br />

building and are open to <strong>the</strong><br />

public.<br />

such training, he said, with<br />

programs from pet grooming<br />

to cosmetology to construction.<br />

“We need people in every<br />

segment <strong>of</strong> this economy<br />

participating,” he said.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> serious deficiencies<br />

in <strong>the</strong> state legislature,<br />

Rep. Brown shared with<br />

chamber members is term<br />

limits.<br />

“There's not a lot <strong>of</strong> institutional<br />

knowledge in<br />

Columbus” because state<br />

legislators can serve a maximum<br />

<strong>of</strong> only eight years.<br />

“We value experience for<br />

every walk <strong>of</strong> life, but devalue<br />

experience for those who<br />

go to Columbus and make<br />

our laws,” he said.<br />

Rep. Brown believes that<br />

term limits shift power to<br />

lobbyists, staffs and <strong>the</strong> governor<br />

and away from <strong>the</strong> legislature.<br />

Because <strong>of</strong> term limits,<br />

most state legislators keep<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir jobs back home, he<br />

said, and have asked for a<br />

compressed schedule in<br />

Columbus for state business.<br />

The drawback is “you<br />

can’t take time to get to<br />

know your colleagues and<br />

those across <strong>the</strong> aisle,” he<br />

said.<br />

He believes that fellowship<br />

is important.<br />

“We need to work toge<strong>the</strong>r,<br />

especially in a challenging<br />

economy like this,” he<br />

added.<br />

Bench dedicated to <strong>the</strong> late Ken McClure at River Walk garden<br />

Last week, a bench in <strong>the</strong> River Walk garden across from Orleans Park was dedicated to <strong>the</strong> late Ken<br />

McClure. This past spring, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong> Garden Club planted a flower garden at <strong>the</strong> base <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> walk, and<br />

Myra McClure, a member <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> garden club thought <strong>the</strong> garden needed a bench to complete <strong>the</strong> project. She<br />

believed it would be a perfect memorial to her late husband from <strong>the</strong> McClure family.<br />

“Ken loved to walk and bike in <strong>Perrysburg</strong>,” she said. “And he always enjoyed sitting on a bench to rest and<br />

view <strong>the</strong> sunset over <strong>the</strong> Maumee River.”<br />

PHS girls golf team has win streak snapped by Northview<br />

With <strong>the</strong> start <strong>of</strong> school,<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong> High School<br />

girls golf team also begin its<br />

run for <strong>the</strong> Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Lakes<br />

League championship. The<br />

most notable team that<br />

stands in <strong>the</strong>ir way is<br />

Northview, <strong>the</strong> reigning<br />

NLL champs.<br />

Last week, <strong>the</strong> two rivals<br />

clashed on Highland Meadows<br />

Country Club’s long par<br />

37 front nine playing from<br />

<strong>the</strong> silver tees.<br />

Unfortunately, <strong>the</strong> Yellow<br />

Jackets succumbed to <strong>the</strong><br />

challenge as <strong>the</strong> LadyKats<br />

routed <strong>the</strong> Black and Gold,<br />

185-196.<br />

Senior Monica Dorner<br />

was medalist with a 42.<br />

O<strong>the</strong>r scorers for PHS were<br />

sophomores Madison<br />

Williams, 49; Katie Diehl,<br />

51, and Macy Tudor, 54.<br />

Northview snapped <strong>Perrysburg</strong>’s<br />

16-match winning<br />

streak in NLL regular season<br />

matches. The Lady Jackets<br />

had not lost an NLL regular<br />

season match since Dorner’s<br />

first match her freshman<br />

year against Southview.<br />

“This was a tough loss,”<br />

Monica said. “We beat<br />

Northview twice already this<br />

season during 18-hole tournaments,<br />

but those don’t<br />

matter when it comes to <strong>the</strong><br />

NLL. Our goal is to win <strong>the</strong><br />

NLL, and while this loss<br />

hurts, it doesn’t mean that<br />

we can’t still win <strong>the</strong> NLL.”<br />

The day after losing to<br />

Northview, <strong>Perrysburg</strong> faced<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r foe, <strong>the</strong> Anthony<br />

Wayne Generals, on <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

home course, Brandywine<br />

Country Club. Characteristically,<br />

<strong>the</strong> Jackets rebounded<br />

and defeated AW, 175-189.<br />

Dorner was medalist with<br />

a 39, while sophomore Sonia<br />

Krolak followed closely<br />

with a 43. Williams chipped<br />

in with a 45, while Diehl<br />

added a 48.<br />

“After our tough loss at<br />

Northview, we really felt<br />

like we had a bounce back<br />

day in us,” said Head Coach<br />

Rick Rettig. “We still have a<br />

great deal to work on, but I<br />

really like how we came<br />

toge<strong>the</strong>r today.”<br />

Prior to <strong>the</strong> NLL matches,<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> had two nonleague<br />

matches.<br />

At Eagles Landing Golf<br />

Club, PHS upended Clay,<br />

<br />

171-181. Dorner, Diehl and<br />

Williams all shot 42 to lead<br />

<strong>the</strong> Lady Jackets, and rounding<br />

out <strong>the</strong> scoring was senior<br />

Katie Krieger with a 45.<br />

PHS also bested Lexington,<br />

162-189, at White Pines<br />

Golf Club.<br />

Dorner was medalist with<br />

a 37, while Diehl and<br />

Williams carded 40s and<br />

Krolak chipped in with a 45.<br />

“I was happy with this<br />

round because it felt complete,”<br />

said Coach Rettig.<br />

“With <strong>the</strong> exception <strong>of</strong> a few<br />

small mistakes, we eliminated<br />

big numbers from <strong>the</strong><br />

scorecard and we are doing a<br />

much better job in course<br />

management. Madison<br />

Williams has not only<br />

improved her swing, but she<br />

has become a stronger and<br />

more focused golfer. She<br />

may be slight <strong>of</strong> frame, but<br />

her ability to avoid trouble<br />

and provide a consistent,<br />

reliable score continues to be<br />

important this season.”<br />

Today, <strong>the</strong> Lady Jackets<br />

face Notre Dame in a home<br />

match at White Pines Golf<br />

Club beginning at 3:30 p.m.<br />

River Road water line replacement planned<br />

The Northwestern Water<br />

and Sewer District soon will<br />

replace an existing 12-inch<br />

public water line along River<br />

Road.<br />

The project extends from<br />

Eagle Point Road in Rossford<br />

to East Boundary Street in <strong>Perrysburg</strong>,<br />

affecting many residents<br />

in Rossford and<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> Township.<br />

Construction will begin in<br />

mid to late <strong>September</strong> and continue<br />

through next spring, according<br />

to John Sopko, NWSD<br />

project manager.<br />

It is “part <strong>of</strong> an on-going effort<br />

by <strong>the</strong> district to improve<br />

water quality, service to your<br />

property and increase fire protection,”<br />

he said.<br />

Water service interruption<br />

may occur during construction,<br />

but affected residents will be<br />

notified.<br />

Local traffic to residents’<br />

homes will be maintained.<br />

Buckeye Excavating will<br />

perform construction on behalf<br />

<strong>of</strong> NWSD, but an NWSD inspector<br />

will be on site at all<br />

times.<br />

The following neighborhoods<br />

will be affected by <strong>the</strong><br />

water line project.<br />

Stonecr<strong>of</strong>t Drive<br />

Existing 4-inch service line<br />

and 8-inch main that goes<br />

down Stonecr<strong>of</strong>t will be temporarily<br />

out <strong>of</strong> service leaving<br />

everyone without water.<br />

St. Luke’s Hospital has a 6-<br />

inch water line which will be<br />

out <strong>of</strong> service while it is being<br />

switched to <strong>the</strong> new water<br />

main.<br />

Rockledge Drive<br />

Existing 6-inch water main<br />

will leave about a dozen homes<br />

without water service while it<br />

is being switched to <strong>the</strong> new<br />

12-inch.<br />

The existing 6-inch water<br />

main along Secor Woods will<br />

be out <strong>of</strong> service while<br />

switched over to <strong>the</strong> new 12-<br />

inch. This will leave all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

residents along Secor Woods<br />

Lane without water, about 13<br />

homes<br />

Rockledge Drive and<br />

Hufford Road<br />

Along Rockledge, <strong>the</strong> existing<br />

6-inch water main will<br />

be temporarily out <strong>of</strong> service,<br />

leaving 10 homes out <strong>of</strong> service<br />

while it is being switched.<br />

Existing 6-inch water main<br />

along Hufford will be out <strong>of</strong><br />

service while it is switched.<br />

This will leave about 10 homes<br />

without water for a short period<br />

<strong>of</strong> time.<br />

Belmont Country Club swimmers receive awards at end-<strong>of</strong> season celebration<br />

Winning three championship<br />

victories was reason<br />

to celebrate for <strong>the</strong> Belmont<br />

Country Club swim team<br />

and families. More than<br />

200 attended <strong>the</strong> banquet<br />

dinner held at <strong>the</strong> clubhouse<br />

<strong>the</strong> evening <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> championship<br />

meet.<br />

Despite a very long day,<br />

<strong>the</strong>re was no sign <strong>of</strong> exhaustion.<br />

Swimmers and parents<br />

burst into applause and<br />

cheers as Jackie Venzel,<br />

head coach, reviewed <strong>the</strong><br />

undefeated season.<br />

The team’s winning<br />

streak has been extended to<br />

12 dual meets and three<br />

championship meets.<br />

Coach Venzel pointed<br />

out that many swimmers do<br />

not even know what it was<br />

like to not win a meet.<br />

Coach Venzel recalled<br />

<strong>the</strong> history <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> swim team<br />

since she started eight years<br />

ago. “No one could remember<br />

ever winning a dual<br />

meet. After four years <strong>of</strong><br />

building <strong>the</strong> team, we finally<br />

won a dual meet in my<br />

fifth year.” She added,<br />

“You would have thought<br />

we won <strong>the</strong> trophy.”<br />

in <strong>the</strong> older age groups<br />

for staying with <strong>the</strong> team.<br />

Artist Pr<strong>of</strong>ile<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> resident<br />

Molly Strader has literally<br />

forged a notable career in<br />

contemporary metalsmithing.<br />

She traveled to Bali, Indonesia<br />

in <strong>the</strong> mid 1990s to<br />

study under a master wood<br />

carver and learn about Balinese<br />

culture.<br />

That trip started <strong>the</strong> artist<br />

on a journey <strong>of</strong> devotion to<br />

her artwork and her views <strong>of</strong><br />

“simplicity and oneness <strong>of</strong><br />

science and beauty,” which is<br />

always present in her art. Ms.<br />

Strader has a bachelors <strong>of</strong><br />

fine art degree from <strong>the</strong> University<br />

<strong>of</strong> Toledo–with a<br />

major in metalsmithing and<br />

minor in ceramics and sculpture–and<br />

a masters <strong>of</strong> fine<br />

arts degree from East Carolina<br />

University.<br />

Her artwork focus is predominantly<br />

centered around<br />

creating original, contemporary<br />

jewelry distinguished by<br />

a strong sculptural element<br />

that exemplifies a classic and<br />

timeless appeal.<br />

Ms. Strader was recently<br />

recognized with <strong>the</strong> Best <strong>of</strong><br />

Show award in <strong>the</strong> Boardwalk<br />

Art Show in Virginia<br />

Beach–an art show produced<br />

by <strong>the</strong> Virginia Museum <strong>of</strong><br />

Contemporary Art. Her winning<br />

piece was a stunningly<br />

creative and beautiful small<br />

teapot–<strong>the</strong> size <strong>of</strong> a baby<br />

bird–called “Ready for<br />

Flight.”<br />

Visitors to Ms. Strader’s<br />

booth at Rally For <strong>the</strong> Arts<br />

should take time to look<br />

carefully at not only her jewelry<br />

but her sculptural pieces<br />

that include tea infusers,<br />

mini teapots called “spots <strong>of</strong><br />

tea,” small vessels and objects<br />

that are so unique <strong>the</strong>y<br />

defy description.<br />

Airman Dobbs is a 2011<br />

graduate <strong>of</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong> High<br />

Purdue posts<br />

fall dean’s list<br />

Two <strong>Perrysburg</strong> residents<br />

were named to <strong>the</strong> dean’s list<br />

for <strong>the</strong> spring semester at Purdue<br />

University. They are: Evan<br />

Appold and Scott Frissell.<br />

To be named to <strong>the</strong> dean’s<br />

list, a student must achieve a<br />

semester grade point average<br />

<strong>of</strong> at least 3.0 and have a 3.5 or<br />

higher cumulative GPA.<br />

A solo exhibit featuring<br />

recent work <strong>of</strong> salt etchings<br />

by Craig Fisher is on<br />

display through October 15,<br />

in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong> Municipal<br />

Building, 201 West Indiana<br />

Avenue. Viewing hours are<br />

Monday through Friday,<br />

from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.<br />

Mr. Fisher’s images are<br />

complex and detailed. They<br />

reflect his fascination with<br />

<strong>the</strong> tension between <strong>the</strong> mechanical<br />

and <strong>the</strong> organic.<br />

His work is filled with<br />

creatures inspired by microscopic<br />

organic matter<br />

(pollen grains, insects, fossil<br />

remnants) that are converging<br />

with our everyday<br />

tools that are familiar yet<br />

out <strong>of</strong> context (springs,<br />

cogs, switches, and turbines),<br />

things that imply action<br />

or may hint <strong>of</strong> some<br />

impending motion. The titles<br />

<strong>of</strong>fer fitting clues for<br />

<strong>the</strong> viewer to put <strong>the</strong> image<br />

in perspective.<br />

The etching technique<br />

Mr. Fisher practices has not<br />

changed from <strong>the</strong> time <strong>of</strong><br />

Rembrandt. The etchings<br />

are carefully constructed<br />

and built up <strong>of</strong> fine-meshed<br />

patterns <strong>of</strong> hatching, crosshatching,<br />

stippling and<br />

rosin dusted aquatints.<br />

There may be as many as<br />

five stages in <strong>the</strong> etching<br />

process.<br />

Mr. Fisher says his imagery<br />

is as at times<br />

metaphorical or just direct<br />

observations or studies.<br />

Concerned About Your Financial Health?<br />

Maybe it’s Time for a Second Opinion?<br />

“Buy, Sell, Hold,” are words investors hear constantly<br />

regarding <strong>the</strong>ir portfolios. Successful investing is not always<br />

about how much cash you have or if you should buy, sell or<br />

hold. It’s about quality <strong>of</strong> assets, time horizons, financial<br />

needs, cash flow needs, risk tolerance and many o<strong>the</strong>r issues.<br />

Do you understand your exposure to various sectors <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

market and how <strong>the</strong>se sectors correlate to each o<strong>the</strong>r? Sector<br />

weightings, asset allocation, management style and o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

issues significantly contribute to <strong>the</strong> volatility <strong>of</strong> your portfolio.<br />

I believe it is important to understand what your risks are<br />

and how <strong>the</strong>y relate to your financial goals. A detailed<br />

analysis <strong>of</strong> your portfolio will allow us to give you a valuable<br />

“Second Opinion.”<br />

If you would like to take advantage <strong>of</strong> our no-obligation<br />

“Second Opinion Service,”<br />

Organic farming topic <strong>of</strong> local<br />

OSU Sept. 5 field day program<br />

Growers interested in<br />

learning <strong>the</strong> latest in organic<br />

research, including updates<br />

on organic corn production,<br />

organic ecosystem services<br />

and organic pest controls,<br />

can hear from experts from<br />

Ohio State University’s College<br />

<strong>of</strong> Food, Agricultural,<br />

and Environmental Sciences<br />

during a workshop <strong>September</strong><br />

5 in Bowling Green.<br />

The workshop is from 5<br />

to 8 p.m. at <strong>the</strong> Agricultural<br />

Incubator Foundation,<br />

13737 Middleton Pike<br />

(State Route 582), about<br />

five miles north <strong>of</strong> Bowling<br />

Green. The event, which is<br />

free and open to <strong>the</strong> public,<br />

will include dinner. No<br />

Food and Farming Education<br />

and Research (OFFER)<br />

program and take part in a<br />

tour <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Organic Valley<br />

Sundermeier, an Ohio State<br />

University extension educator.<br />

The event will feature<br />

presentations from OSU Extension<br />

educators. OSU Extension<br />

and OARDC are <strong>the</strong> outreach<br />

and research arms, respectively,<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> college.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> advantages <strong>of</strong><br />

research Ohio State is conducting,<br />

see <strong>the</strong> exhibits and<br />

have access to each researcher<br />

who can answer a<br />

farmer’s individual questions,<br />

Mr. Sundermeier said.<br />

“This kind <strong>of</strong> informal<br />

interaction with <strong>the</strong> researchers<br />

allows farmers to<br />

better understand what research<br />

we are doing and will<br />

allow us to gear university<br />

research to what <strong>the</strong> farmers’<br />

needs are,” he said.<br />

“This site is dedicated longterm<br />

in researching organic<br />

systems compared to conventional<br />

systems, to try to<br />

sort out <strong>the</strong> best practices to<br />

increase farm pr<strong>of</strong>its.<br />

“One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> projects<br />

we’re highlighting is <strong>the</strong> organic<br />

corn plot in conjunction<br />

with Organic Valley<br />

Company, where we have<br />

24 different organic corn varieties<br />

testing.<br />

Farmers can compare results<br />

side-by-side including<br />

different maturities and genetics.”<br />

O<strong>the</strong>r topics for <strong>the</strong> field<br />

night include:<br />

•Organic corn production<br />

and marketing<br />

•Long-term organic<br />

ecosystem services<br />

•Pest scouting and organic<br />

controls<br />

•No-till organic grain<br />

production<br />

•Cover crops<br />

•Zeolite soil amendment<br />

Suggestions for selecting <strong>the</strong> right nutrition app<br />

Everyone I know seems<br />

to have a different nutrition<br />

app on <strong>the</strong>ir smart phone.<br />

Where can I find information<br />

about whe<strong>the</strong>r an app is<br />

a good one?<br />

With thousands <strong>of</strong> nutrition<br />

and food-related apps<br />

available, it’s easy to feel<br />

overwhelmed.<br />

It helps to narrow down<br />

what you’re looking for. Do<br />

you want something to help<br />

you plan healthy meals, or<br />

are you more interested in<br />

tracking calories, managing<br />

blood sugar or finding restaurants<br />

that serve gluten-free<br />

food?<br />

Once you have narrowed<br />

down what kind <strong>of</strong> information<br />

you’re looking for<br />

specifically, talk more to your<br />

friends about <strong>the</strong> apps <strong>the</strong>y<br />

don’t like about <strong>the</strong>m. If <strong>the</strong>y<br />

say <strong>the</strong>y like <strong>the</strong>ir app but<br />

that it’s “clunky” or o<strong>the</strong>rwise<br />

cumbersome, search<br />

around for o<strong>the</strong>r options that<br />

<strong>of</strong>fer <strong>the</strong> same type <strong>of</strong> information,<br />

and test <strong>the</strong>m yourself.<br />

As for making sure <strong>the</strong><br />

food or nutrition-related content<br />

is accurate, nothing beats<br />

guidance from a registered<br />

dietitian. If your health plan<br />

<strong>of</strong>fers dietetic services or nutrition<br />

coaching, it might not<br />

be a bad idea to sign up for a<br />

session or two and, during<br />

your consult, inquire about<br />

recommended apps.<br />

If that seems a bit much,<br />

you can take a look online at<br />

apps reviewed by <strong>the</strong> Academy<br />

<strong>of</strong> Nutrition and Dietetics–<strong>the</strong><br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essional organization<br />

for registered dietitians.<br />

Academy dietitians<br />

started reviewing apps in late<br />

2011, and <strong>the</strong>ir initial <strong>of</strong>ferings,<br />

grouped under <strong>the</strong> categories<br />

<strong>of</strong> “Diabetes,”<br />

“Gluten-Free” and “Weight<br />

Management,” are online at<br />

<strong>the</strong> organization’s Web site,<br />

http://www.eatright.org/appreviews/.<br />

These apps, all available<br />

to download free and primarily<br />

geared for <strong>the</strong> iPhone, are<br />

listed in alphabetical order<br />

under each category. You can<br />

scan <strong>the</strong> initial listing relatively<br />

quickly to see how<br />

well each app rates on <strong>the</strong><br />

academy’s 1- to 5-star scale,<br />

and <strong>the</strong>n click on an app to<br />

get more information.<br />

Since that time, <strong>the</strong> academy<br />

has continued to review<br />

apps and list <strong>the</strong> reviews on<br />

its Food and Nutrition magazine<br />

Web site,<br />

Vineyard Church <strong>of</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

will hold a joint service<br />

with Ember Ministry on<br />

Tuesday, <strong>September</strong> 10, at<br />

7:30 p.m. at Ember Northpoint<br />

facility, 3708 Laskey Road,<br />

Toledo.<br />

Guest speaker will be Ben<br />

Fitzgerald from Be<strong>the</strong>l<br />

Church, Redding, California.<br />

http://www.foodandnutri<br />

tion.org/Nutrition-Apps/.<br />

Each review details <strong>the</strong> app’s<br />

pros and cons as well as <strong>the</strong><br />

dietitian’s star-rating and<br />

“bottom line.” The apps are<br />

listed in reverse-chronological<br />

order—that is, <strong>the</strong> most<br />

recently reviewed apps are at<br />

<strong>the</strong> top. There’s no search<br />

function, but it’s relatively<br />

easy to page through <strong>the</strong> 62<br />

apps currently listed and click<br />

on reviews you’re most interested<br />

in reading.<br />
