Perrysburg 4 Transit committee makes recommendations on transit service 

By Deb Buker 

On May 7, Perrysburg 

residents will vote on a 

five-year, 0.8 mill transportation 

levy. If approved, 

the levy will generate 

$459,146 annually in property 

tax revenue offering 

all residents public transportation 

within the City of 

Perrysburg. The levy would 

cost the owner of a 

$200,000 home less than 

$50 annually, $4 a month. 

Last week, the Perrysburg 

4 Transit (P4T) committee 

submitted its recommendations 

on transit services 

and schedules to city 

administrators and members 

of the health, sanitation 

and public utilities 

c o m m i t t e e – C o u n c i l o r s 

Todd Grayson, chairman, 

Tim McCarthy and John 

Kevern. 

The P4T committee is 

co-chaired by Derek 

O’Neal and Gil Lutz. Members 

include Bob Seyfang, 

Carroll Russell, Chris Metzger, 

Chris Vogel, Deb 

Buker, Denny Barrett, Ed 

Hoover, Eric Benington, 

Jack Hoeflinger, Jason 

Craig, Jean Duston, Kevin 

Rantanen, Lara Lengel, 

Lisa Justice, Maria Ermie, 

Mark Hummer, Marla

Morton, Pinky Edens, 

Rachel Johnson, Rick 

Radocy, Rick Ruffner, 

Rosa Linda Brown, Sara 

Weisenberger, Sherina 

Ohanian, Sondra Alden, 

Mr. Grayson and Tom Galloway. 

The committee recommended 

Dial-A-Ride services 

within the city for 

people with disabilities as 

well as the general public 

with connections to 

TARTA/TARPS at Meijer 

in Rossford and at the 

Maumee municipal building. 

This also would 

include door-to-door service 

for people with disabilities 

who are ADA certified. 

A fixed route service is 

not recommended at this 

time. 

According to the recommendations, 

“Dial-A-Ride 

services will allow Ride 

Perrysburg girls repeat as district champions 

By Andy Brungard 

Perrysburg was set to 

play the Ashland Arrows, 

coming off a big win 

against Lima Senior. The 

Jackets were eyeing their 

second district championship 

in two years and 

looked to advance to the 

regionals for the third time 

in four years under head 

coach Todd Sims. 

The Ashland Arrows 

took an early lead from 

Mariah Mansperger’s two 

free throws. Sarah Baer 

tied the game up by stealing 

a pass at the top of the 

arc and taking it to the 

other end for a lay up. 

Mansperger put Ashland 

up by four when she successfully 

made a lay up 

after making a backdoor 

cut towards the basket. 

Baer again responded 

with a post up move on the 

block for two points. As 

Ashland advanced the ball, 

Baer stole their pass 

attempt at half court. As 

she attacked the basket she 

was fouled while shooting 

and converted both free 

throws to tie the game at 

6. 

The Jackets capped off 

an 8-0 run, when Baer 

again stole a pass at half 

court while executing Perrysburg’s 

full court press 

that caused eight 

turnovers. When she stole 

the ball, she threw it ahead 

to Allex Brown who made 

an uncontested lay up. 

The Arrows regained the 

lead when Cassidy Yetzer 

hit a three. Shortly after 

Lindy Delong tied up the 

game with a long jumper 

and the score was 12-12 at 

the end of the first quarter. 

The second quarter 

Derek O’Neal, standing, and Gil Lutz are co-chairs 

of the Perrysburg 4 Transit committee. 

Right to understand and 

meet our transportation 

needs in a cost-effective, 

efficient manner. We anticipated 

that people would 

have reoccurring needs that 

will lend to a regular 

schedule of pick up and 

drop off locations/times. 

We believe that Dial-A- 

Ride will be flexible 

enough to meet whatever 

needs arise. Should experience 

indicate that a fixed 

route or shuttle is in the 

best interest of many of our 

residents, the contract with 

Ride Right should have the 

flexibility to allow this 

change.” 

P4T recommended that 

service be scheduled 24 

hours in advance and pick 

started slow for both teams 

offensively. Two minutes 

into the quarter, Baer 

scored on the post and two 

minutes later Delong hit a 

three forcing an Ashland 

timeout with 3:41 until the 

half and a 17-12 Jackets 

lead. 

The Jackets topped off 

the quarter with Maddy 

Williams swatting the ball 

from Ashland’s point 

guard. She then dove on 

the ground for the ball and 

threw it ahead to Abby 

Sattler. Sattler took it the 

rest of the way and 

up must be within a 30 

minute window–15 minutes 

before to 15 minutes after 

the scheduled time. If less 

than 24 hours notice is 

given, every effort should 

be made to accommodate 

requests. 

The committee also recommended 

an initial schedule 

that allocates most of 

the 6,700 services hours to 

facilitate identifying the 

city’s transportation needs. 

It is the belief of the committee 

that as experience is 

gained, the hours can be 

adjusted based on actual 

usage. 

The cost recommendation 

for a one-way trip is 

$1. 

Councilman Grayson 

scooped in a contested lay 

up before the half for a 23- 

13 lead. Most impressive 

of the second quarter was 

the fact that Perrysburg 

only allowed one point. 

The third quarter was 

Perrysburg’s most productive 

quarter on offense, 

where they scored 19 

points. Delong started off 

the half hitting a jumper 

and a three on back to 

back possessions but Ashland’s 

Mansperger 

responded with two buckets 

off of post up moves 

underneath. 

Highest Number 

of Scheduled Service Hours 

One full-time vehicle 

agrees with the committee’s 

recommendations. 

“I believe that the recommendations 

from Perrysburg 

4 Transit simply 

codified the intent of my 

committee, council at large 

and the administration–so it 

was pretty easy to agree 

with,” he said. “The key 

thing to remember is that 

what was discussed at the 

meeting is a starting condition, 

not a carved-in-stone 

plan. The beauty of our 

proposal to the taxpayers is 

that we can use the 0.8-mill 

levy very flexibly to solve 

the transportation needs in 

the community at one third 

the cost of TARTA and also 

at a much lower rate than 

all the other patchwork 

transit services from various 

government and community 

agencies that currently 

exist. 

“The bottom line is that 

we’re going to have public 

transportation in Perrysburg 

regardless of whether 

this levy passes. The only 

question is whether we 

want to pay many times 

more for inadequate service 

from multiple agencies–or 

if we want, a privately run, 

cost effective, flexible service 

from Ride Right that 

we know will meet our

needs. I’d encourage anyone 

with questions about 

how this levy actually 

reduces taxes to e-mail me 

at tgrayson@ci.perrys 

burg.oh.us.” 

In March 2012, Perrysburg 

voters opted out of 

TARTA (Toledo Area 

Regional Transit Authority) 

and then in November, 

rejected a 1.45-mill transportation 

levy to fund a 

new city-wide system. The 

defeat was by a slim margin–less 

than 185 votes– 

and it is believed voters did 

not have thorough information 

on the issues presented 

by the levy, along with 

confusion on the ballot language. 

The city funded “gap” 

service from September 23, 

when TARTA ended service, 

until November 27. 

The service was provided 

by Ride Right. Since that 

time, there has been no 

public transportation service 

available within the 

city. 

If the May levy is 

approved, the city will 

begin transportation services 

immediately.

Williams stole a pass on 

Ashland’s next possession 

and raced towards the basket. 

She managed to make 

an athletic lay up as she 

flew through the air after 

being fouled. She also 

converted the free throw 

putting the score at 31-17 

Perrysburg. 

Mansperger, who scored 

a team high 15 points, 

again responded with an 

underneath shot to keep 

Ashland in the game. The 

Jackets put their offense 

and defense together to 

close the quarter. They finished 

on a 12-0 run, finishing 

with a Katie Dunphy 

three before the end of the 

quarter. 

Ashland made five free 

throws in the beginning of 

the fourth, but Baer added 

two more underneath and 

the Jackets were up 45-24 

with just under six minutes 

remaining. 

Perrysburg went on to 

decisively win their district 

championship, 51-33. 

The Jackets were led by 

Baer with 15, Delong with 

12, and Brown with 10.

Perrysburg Area Arts Council closing its doors after 25 years 

Sponsors, volunteers needed for Kip Boulis Race 

The Messenger Journal, 

last week, received the following 

release from the Perrysburg 

Area Arts Council 

executive board–Corinne 

Amico, Jason Van Dam, Pat 

Amico and West Vayo: 

“After nearly 25 years in 

existence, it is–as it should 

be–with a heavy heart that 

we must announce that the 

Perrysburg Area Arts Council 

will be closing its doors. 

The Perrysburg Area Arts 

Council, or PAAC as we 

became more well known, 

began its important journey 

in 1989 under the guiding 

hand of Judy Beck. For 

those who had the great 

privilege of working alongside 

Judy, you know that 

words cannot do justice to 

describe her unwavering 

loyalty to the arts in our 

community, and the love and 

pride she poured into this 

organization. Without Judy 

and those who followed in 

her footsteps, we fear few 

would have truly experienced 

and benefited from 

the cultural heart of Perrysburg. 

From its humble beginnings 

as a simple directory 

for local artists to a nonprofit 

organization responsible 

for many of the annual 

events we have all come to 

anticipate, PAAC has always 

strived to be a contributing 

member of our community. 

Our mission has always 

been simple–to develop, sustain, 

inspire and coordinate 

arts events in the Perrysburg, 

Ohio area. Whether it was 

through our sponsored 

music series– Music in the 

Park, Brown Bag Concerts, 

Music at the Market–art programs 

and exhibits–Art in 

Public Places, Green Art 

Camp, Fiber Arts Show– 

drama performances–youth 

summer theater–or our many 

other programs, PAAC has 

done its best to touch the 

lives of each person in our 

community, artist and nonartist 

alike. 

The community is invited 

to a “sneak peek” of the 

renovated Spafford 

house–the future home of 

the Perrysburg Area Historic 

Museum this Saturday, 

March 9, from 2 to 5 p.m. 

Located at 27230 West 

River Road, the historic 

1823 Greek revival home of 

Judge Aurora Spafford was 

purchased by Perrysburg 

Area Historic Museum, Inc. 

(PAHM) and renovations 

are being completed to open 

the new museum. 

Visitors can view the 

new stone fireplaces and 

mantels, the beautiful 

woodworking, original 

flooring, the different rooms 

and more. 

“The Perrysburg Area 

Historic Museum will be a 

safe, professional repository 

for a vast array of historic 

items,” said Judy Justus, 

PAHM president. “These 

objects, by themselves or 

through the presentation 

and demonstrations by 

trained volunteers, will 

exhibit the ideas and 

achievements of various 

individuals, both Native 

Americans and settlers, who 

inhabited this territory over 

the past 200 years. We will 

display objects and tell the 

history that portrays the 

skill of these peoples as 

well as their trials, successes 

and failures. Our gift to 

future generations will be 

the careful maintenance and 

protection of stories and 

items reflecting this heritage.” 

PAHM members have 

been working to raise funds 

for the renovations and construction 

to be completed in 

three phases: phase one–the 

renovation of the home and 

making it handicapped 

accessible; sidewalk, parking 

and landscaping. phase 

two–construction of a barn 

and creating an old-fashioned 

herb and flower garden. 

Phase three–construction 

of an annex attached to 

the house for additional displays. 

PAHM currently is conducting 

a capital campaign 

to raise $150,000 for renovations 

and maintain an 

endowment fund for operating 

costs. The group has 

raised more than $50,000 

toward its goal. 

Tax-deductible donations 

can be sent to PAHM, P.O. 

Box 1294, Perrysburg, Ohio 

43552. 

Board members include 

Phyllis Morton, first vice 

president; Joann Ward, second 

vice president; Polly 

White, secretary; Richard 

Currie, treasurer; Charles 

Stocking, campaign fund 

chairman; and Doug

The Kip Boulis Foundation 

is seeking sponsors and 

volunteers for the 35th annual 

Kip Boulis 5K run and one 

mile walk on Memorial Day, 

Monday, May 27, at Woodlands 

Park. 

The annual event is in 

memory of Perrysburg 

Patrolman Kip E. Boulis who 

drowned while assisting in 

the rescue of four Toledoans 

whose boat had overturned in 

the Maumee River on Monday, 

May 31, 1976. The 29- 

year-old officer was a 1964 

graduate of Perrysburg High 

School and served in the U.S. 

Marine Corps before joining 

the Perrysburg Police Division 

in 1968. 

All proceeds from the 

race benefit the Kip Boulis 

Memorial Scholarship Fund, 

which has awarded more 

than $67,000 in scholarships 

to students pursuing higher 

education in law enforcement. 

According to Sergeant 

Dean Butler, the race is in 

need of sponsors for the 2013 

event. Sponsorship is $250 

and assists the foundation in 

covering costs of race prizes, 

fruit for participants, coffee 

mugs and extra T-shirts. 

Sponsors receive their 

business name on the back of 

the T-shirts, race day shirts, 

coffee mugs and the opportunity 

to distribute business 

flyers or display a business 

banner at the race site. 

Volunteers also are needed 

for the event morning to 

register runners, hand out 

water along with other 

duties. Registration begins at 

7 a.m. with race time at 8 

a.m. 

For additional information, 

contact Sgt. Butler at 

419-872-8001 or send an e- 

mail to dbutler@ci.perrys 

burg.oh.us. 

Perhaps our most familiar 

role was as a co-sponsor of 

Harrison Rally Day and 

coordinator of Rally for the 

Arts, which invited many of 

our local fine artists and 

crafters to historic downtown 

Perrysburg each year 

to exhibit their skills, not to 

mention the live music and 

other entertainment we have 

all come to enjoy. 

Fortunately, Harrison 

Rally Day will continue as it 

always has. PAAC is pleased 

to announce that the Perrysburg 

Area Chamber of Commerce 

has graciously agreed 

to take over the coordination 

of Rally for the Arts at Harrison 

Rally Day and we 

know the chamber will do a 

great job. We also have 

taken strides to transition 

youth summer musical theater 

and expect that registration 

information for this 

great program will be made 

available soon.

The second seating waiters 

include Mayor Nelson 

worked so hard is a sorrowful 

task. And yet, at the same 

time, we are deeply heartened 

by the realization that 

PAAC’s mission, through 

the continuing and selfless 

efforts of many individuals, 

will continue to thrive in our 

community. As we have 

preached throughout the 

years, the arts for everyone, 

everyone for the arts. 

PAAC’s motto is no less 

meaningful now that the 

organization has run its 

course. Instead, it is something 

towards which PAAC 

hopes this great community 

will continue to aspire. For it 

is our collective commitment 

to the arts that makes 

the Perrysburg area truly 

special.

Letter to the 

Editor 

Dear Editor: 

I am very thankful that the 

City Council has decided to 

put another levy on the ballot 

for a transportation service. 

Since I am tied to a wheelchair, 

I have used TARPs and 

the Perrysburg transportation 

system in the past to go to 

church, Rotary meetings and 

even one time a funeral. 

Since the defeat of the 

first levy, I have been tied to 

the nursing home in which I 

reside as well as to my 

wheelchair. This lack of independence 

is hard for me 

and for my family. With more 

than 100 residents, my nursing 

home, or any nursing facility, 

cannot transport their 

residents to their many individual 

appointments as has 

been suggested. The cost of 

a medic van is prohibitive for 

any but doctor appointments 

that would be covered by insurance. 

The transportation system 

also is used by those who 

can’t drive for other reasons 

such as not being able to afford 

a car and insurance or 

able to obtain a driver’s license. 

A transportation system is 

not just a luxury but a necessity 

for all communities since 

a community is home to 

many people of all social and 

economic situations. It helps 

many people to find the independence 

everyone needs.

Supports PHS 

swimmers 

Brodava Salon of Perrysburg is sending Perrysburg High School swimmers off to their district 

meet in a colorful way while gathering items for good causes as well. A fun night was had by all 

swimmers, parents and Brodava team members Sunday night coloring, cutting, fun-spirited nail 

art and plenty of food for the party. 

Coloring hair before district meets is a tradition among swimmers, so when stylist/colorist and 

swim mom Jennifer Burke of Brodava asked her boss Chrissy George, owner of Brodava, if they 

could sponsor a send-off party for these hard-working athletes at her salon, there was no pause. 

Ms. Burke’s daughter, Maddie Burke, is a junior at Perrysburg and is a varsity swimmer. 

The athletes came for the fun, but the team also gathered together to help donate non-perishable 

items for the Perrysburg Christians United food pantry and donations for Hannah’s Socks. 

“This is great way to end the high school swim season –giving back to the community,” said Ms. 

Burke. “And, thank you to Brodava for sharing staff–colorists/stylists Mary Mason, Darcy Gerken, 

Kayleigh Dodds and nail tech Tabetha Coulter.” 

It was a great season for PHS swimmers! They are hoping to keep up their great success and 

winning streak at districts Saturday, February 16, at the BGSU Natatorium from 1 to 9 p.m. It is a 

jam-packed fun event and we wish these athletes well! 

Go Jackets! 

Pictured are PHS swimmers and Brodava team members Kayleigh Dodds, 

Mary Mason, Darcy Gerken and Jennifer Burke.

AM radio station 1370 WSPD has 

launched the show “Retirement Journey 

with Jeff Bucher,” hosted by veteran financial 

advisor Jeff Bucher. The show focuses 

on the critical issues of health, wealth 

and freedom crucial to the retirees and preretirees 

of northwest Ohio. 

Mr. Bucher, co-founder of Citizen Advisory 

Group, a Perrysburg-based comprehensive 

retirement planning firm serving 

hundreds of clients throughout Ohio, is a 

well-known advisor, speaker and now a talk 

show host. Dismayed by the lack of attention 

given to the true needs of current and 

upcoming retirees, Mr. Bucher decided to 

take to the airwaves to help. 

“As long as I can remember, the people 

of northwest Ohio have supported me in fulfilling 

my dreams,” said Mr. Bucher. “Their 

goodwill and contributions helped me become 

the student and wrestling standout I 

was at Ohio State, and I believe it is my 

duty and my privilege to return good for 

good. 

“This is extremely important to me because, 

not all, but most of the focus of other 

financial advisors, especially the guys on 

radio and TV, seems to be in separating 

good people from their money. 

“The ‘normal’ rules of financial planning 

don’t always apply the same to retirees. 

Old, accumulation-driven strategies must be 

revisited. Concepts like ‘buy and hold’ have 

not been serving people so well in recent 

years. 

“Further, I have a tremendous interest in 

serving the nonprofit community. Talk 

about a setting where the normal rules get 

turned on their heads. Surprisingly, a donor 

might do as much financial harm as good 

simply by not knowing the unique rules that 

apply. I’ve seen tragic results occur when 

only good was intended. I have the understanding 

and experience to change that, so 

it’s my responsibility to help. 

“As luck would have it, 1370 WSPD 

was willing to open the noon hour on Sundays 

for me to develop a radio show. If you 

had asked me five years ago, I never

“I’m passionate about bringing the 

kind of information pre-retirees and retirees 

need. I’m a financial guy, so sure, 

I’ll have plenty to talk about in that area. 

But I’ll be bringing experts in the area of 

health too, because if you lose your health, 

you’re sure to lose your wealth. And if you

First half distribution 

of manufactured home tax 

Michael Sibbersen, Wood 

County auditor, recently announced 

the distribution of 

the year’s first half manufactured 

home tax. 

In addition to the collected 

taxes, Wood County subdivisions 

will share in homestead 

and rollback reimbursements 

from the State of Ohio totaling 

$149,566.73. This money, 

together with an equal second 

half reimbursement will be 

distributed following the August 

manufactured home settlement. 

The Homestead 

Exemption is a benefit for 

those 65 years of age or older 

or permanently disabled persons 

who own their home and 

reside there as their principal 

place of residence. Mr. Sibbersen 

urges those who think 

they might qualify to contact 

the auditor’s office at 419- 

354-1925 or from northern 

Wood County, 1-866-860- 

4140, extension 1925.

“like” real estate using an appraised 

market value. The law 

further provided that all manufactured

Salvation Army to host 

Feinstein Food Drive 

The Salvation Army of 

Northwest Ohio will host a 

food drive from March 1 until 

April 30 in conjunction with 

the Feinstein Foundation. 

The Salvation Army is asking 

for non-perishable foods that 

can be distributed through 

their food pantry at their 

downtown offices, as well as 

monetary donations. 

Food will be collected at 

various sites across the 

Toledo area, but The Salvation 

Army is looking for more 

groups or organizations who 

would like collection boxes at 

their sites. 

Any group or organization 

who would like to have a collection 

box at their site can 

call The Salvation Army at 

419-241-1138. 

The Salvation Army continues 

to see an increase in requests 

for food due to the 

poor economic conditions in 

northwest Ohio. It serves approximately 

850 individuals 

each month through its food 

pantry and Mobile Social 

Service Unit. 

The Feinstein Foundation 

will distribute up to $1 million 

this year to participants 

in the food drives throughout 

the United States. 

Each year since 1996, the 

Feinstein Foundation, started 

by Alan Shawn Feinstein, encourages 

non-profits and 

churches across the country 

to host food drives in an attempt 

to end hunger in the 

United States. Each nonprofit 

and church reports the 

total of food and monetary 

donations, then will receive a 

portion of the million dollars. 

The more food and monetary 

donations each group brings 

in will increase the amount of 

the donation money from the 

Feinstein Foundation. 

Food items can be 

dropped off at The Salvation 

Army, 620 North Erie Street, 

Toledo, Monday through Friday, 

from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

Downtown Perrysburg, Inc. ‘gives back’ to PHS art club 

Downtown Perrysburg, Inc. (DPI) recently presented a $200 check to the Perrysburg High School Art Club for its artistic 

assistance during the pumpkin–carving extravaganza during OctoBOOfest. More than 300 pumpkins were carved and 

displayed around the Commodore Perry monument and lit with candles each evening through Halloween. 

“The crowds were so enthusiastic and the energy level was off the charts in downtown Perrysburg,” said Rob Brunner, 

DPI president and event chairman. “We are always pleased to work with the PHS art club on as many of our events 

that they can. They are all extremely talented and seem to have lots of fun.” 

“The DPI board, as part of the annual strategic planning session in 2011, felt a need to thank the community for all 

the support they have shown over the years,” said Rick Thielen, DPI executive director. “We established ‘DPI Gives Back,’ 

where six community non-profits were highlighted at each First Friday. Recipients also included the Beach House, Heart 

for a Better World, Perrysburg Elementary Parents Association, American Cancer Society’s Bark for Life and Whole 

Hearts Foundation.” 

DPI is a community-based, non-profit organization with a mission to offer and promote community-wide events in Perrysburg’s 

downtown historic district. For additional information on how to become a member, visit the Web site at 

www.downtownperrysburg.org. 

Pictured from left, are Mr. Thielen; Lynne Barefoot, PHS art specialist; Matt Corbett, Art Club president; Mr. Brunner; 

Michelle St. John-Brunner, PHS art specialist, and Don Griffith, PHS art specialist. 

The following programs 

will be offered through the 

Wood County Park District. 

Registration is required for 

all programs 48 hours in advance.

‘Moonrise Kingdom’ to be shown

brewing off-shore—and the 

peaceful community is 

thrown into chaos. 

The screening is open to 

adults only.

Wine, Cheese and Chocolate event to benefit CFF 

A local group will host a 

Wine, Cheese, and Chocolate 

event on Friday, April 12, 

from 7 to 10 p.m., at Belmont 

Country Club. All proceeds 

from the event will go directly 

to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation 

to be used to research a 

cure for the disease. 

Tickets are $30 each and 

may be purchased in advance 

by sending an e-mail to 

VictoryforViolet@bex.net or 

by calling 419-873-5773. 

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited 

chronic disease that 

affects the lungs and digestive 

system of about 30,000 children 

and adults in the United 

States (70,000 worldwide). A 

defective gene and its protein 

product cause the body to produce 

unusually thick, sticky 

mucus that clogs the lungs and 

leads to life-threatening lung 

infections and obstructs the 

pancreas and stops natural 

Abdur Khan named finalist 

Perrysburg High School 

senior Abdur Rafey Khan has 

been named a finalist in the 

Johnson Scholarship competition 

at Washington and Lee 

University. 

“We are very proud of 

Abdur,” said Dr. Michael 

Short, PHS principal. “He is a 

terrific student and a dedicated 

learner.” 

The first stage of the 

scholarship competition 

involved the review of applications, 

which ran from early 

December through mid-January. 

The Scholarship Committee 

narrowed down the applicants 

to a pool of 200 finalists 

to invite to the second stage, 

which is the on-campus competition 

held March 3-5. 

Abdur and the other finalists 

stayed in residence halls 

with current students, and 

participated in a full schedule 

of events, including classes, 

receptions, open houses, tours 

and meals both on campus 

Abdur Rafey Khan 

and in town. A series of interviews 

with faculty, current 

Johnson Scholars and admissions 

constitutes the actual 

competition. 

He also has received a full 

ride scholarship to Washington 

and Lee University. 

‘Asian Carp in Great Lakes’ 

topic of talk at Way Library 

Way Library and the 

Perrysburg League of 

Women Voters will welcome 

Sandy Bihn, clean 

waterways advocate and 

Western Lake Erie Waterkeeper 

on Tuesday, March 

19, at 7 p.m. 

In her capacity as an 

official waterkeeper of the 

nonprofit Waterkeeper’s 

Alliance and also as a 

long-time resident of the 

shores of Maumee Bay, 

Ms. Bihn is an advocate 

for the protection of area 

water. 

In her talk, Ms. Bihn 

will describe the problems 

associated with the introduction 

of Asian Carp into 

area waterways and the 

need for a permanent solution. 

She also will address 

the role of climate change 

in the dropping water level 

of Lake Erie. 

This program, which is 

free and open to the public, 

will be held on the 

Violet O’Leary 

enzymes from helping the 

body break down and absorb 

food. 

In the 1950s, few children 

with cystic fibrosis lived to 

attend elementary school. 

Today, advances in research 

and medical treatments have 

further enhanced and extended 

life for children and adults 

with CF. Many people with 

the disease can now expect to 

live into their 30s, 40s and 

beyond. 

A total of 160 patients with 

Cystic Fibrosis from this area 

are cared for by the local Cystic 

Fibrosis Center at the Toledo 

Hospital. Perrysburg resident 

Violet Jane O’Leary is 

counted in this number. 

Violet’s family was devastated 

when they learned of her 

inherited disease when she 

was just 10 days old. Simple 

acts of breathing and eating 

are a challenge for her each 

day. At 17 months old, she is 

now taking more than 20 pills 

a day in order to digest her 

food and has a minimum of 

two, 45-minute breathing 

treatments each day to keep 

her lungs clear. 

Advances continue to be 

made in finding a cure but 

funds are needed to keep up 

the momentum of this lifesaving 

research.

•WAYNE SMALLEY 

Wayne H. Smalley of 

Perrysburg, 95, died February 

27, 2013, at Hospice of 

Northwest Ohio. He was 

born on October 1, 1917, to 

Lynn David Smalley and 

Rubie Smalley in Concord, 

Michigan. He attended the 

local school, was a Boy 

Scout and earned spending 

money as a newspaper carrier. 

He enjoyed sports, 

pitching for the Concord 

High School baseball team 

and quarterbacking the football 

team. 

In June of 1941, Mr. 

Smalley was drafted into the 

Army. Upon completion of 

basic training, he attended 

Officer Candidate School at 

Fort Benning, Georgia. 

Then, during a short leave, 

he and Irene Snow were 

married. They had about 

three months together in 

Oregon before he received 

orders for overseas duty. He 

served in North Africa and 

Italy, receiving shrapnel 

wounds that removed him 

from the fighting. He earned 

the Purple Heart and was 

honorably discharged in 

1946 with the rank of Captain. 

Back home in Concord, 

he joined his father in the 

Landon & Smalley Chevrolet 

dealership and Standard 

Oil gas station for a few 

years. He eventually went to 

work for Michigan Wholesalers, 

Inc., a wholesale 

building supply firm in 

Jackson. In 1957, he accepted 

their offer of the 

manager’s position for their 

Toledo office. While looking 

for a place to move his 

family, he “discovered” Perrysburg, 

then a town of 

about 4,500 people. When 

Michigan Wholesalers decided 

to downsize some 

years later, he went to work 

for Maumee Valley Supply, 

serving many customers he 

already knew, until his retirement 

in 1980. 

Retirement provided 

time for travel, which he always 

enjoyed. In addition to 

winters in Florida, Mr. and 

Mrs. Smalley traveled 

throughout the country to attend 

bi-annual Army reunions 

and went on several 

cruises. His most meaningful 

trip occurred after he 

reached his 90’s. It was his 

participation in an Honor 

Flight, taking veterans from 

Toledo to the Washington, 

D.C. World War II Memorial 

to honor their service. In 

retirement he also found expanded 

opportunities for 

woodworking, ceramics, 

stained glass and family genealogical 

research. 

He is survived by his 

wife of 70 years, Irene; 

daughters, Susan (Jim 

Artabasy) Smalley and 

Sharlyn (Dan) Premuda; 

grandchildren Mike 

Artabasy, Karen Artabasy,

Owens students to host 

annual Prom Dress Drive 

Owens Community College 

students are reaching 

out to high school girls to 

ensure that they are able to 

receive a special high school 

prom experience by hosting 

the third annual Prom Dress 

Drive. 

The Prom Dress Drive is 

being coordinated by the 

College’s Raising Awareness 

Club. 

Owens students will accept 

various gently used 

prom-specific items, including 

dresses, shoes, purses, 

gloves and jewelry, among 

other prom accessories. The 

donation drive will run 

through March 29. 

“The Prom Dress Drive 

has been a big success the 

last two years,” said Nicole 

Buccalo, Owens Student Activities 

Assistant and Raising 

Awareness Club Advisor. 

“We really want to make 

sure that each high school 

student’s prom is a memorable 

event. Area residents 

can help in the Raising 

Awareness Club’s outreach 

efforts by donating or encouraging 

others to donate 

to the Prom Dress Drive.” 

Following the Prom 

Dress Drive initiative, the 

Raising Awareness Club and 

the Springfield High School 

Academic Booster Club will 

host the Prom Dress Extravaganza 

for high school students 

and their families on 

Saturday, April 6. 

During the event, attendees 

will have the opportunity 

to purchase prom 

dresses and accessories for 

minimal cost ranging from 

$5-20 for dresses and 50 

cents to $5 for accessories. 

Mentors will be on hand 

to assist individuals in their 

shopping experience. Additionally, 

Owens students 

will provide prom dress alterations 

free of charge during 

the event. 

Owens’ Prom Dress Extravaganza 

will take place 

from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. in 

the College’s Student Health 

and Activities Center. 

All prom donations can 

be dropped off in the Office 

of Student Activities Room 

165 at the College’s Student 

Health and Activities Center 

on the Toledo-area Campus 

in Perrysburg Township or at 

Salon Onyx in Toledo. 

All proceeds raised from 

the prom dress initiative will 

be used to benefit future 

community outreach activities 

for the Raising Awareness 

Club. 

Owens’ Raising Awareness 

Club was founded with 

the overall purpose of raising 

awareness about an array 

of issues and causes. 

Comprised of Owens students, 

employees and 

alumni, the group is committed 

to advocating for the 

acceptance of cultural differences, 

global unity, disability 

awareness and various 

needs that impact the surrounding 

communities.

Would You Like a Second Opinion 

Are you unsure of what to do 

“Buy, Sell, Hold,” are words investors hear constantly 

regarding their portfolios. Successful investing is not 

always about how much cash you have or if you should 

buy, sell or hold. It’s about quality of assets, time horizons, 

financial needs, cash flow needs, risk tolerance 

and many other issues. 

Do you understand your exposure to various sectors of 

the market and how these sectors correlate to each 

other Sector weightings, asset allocation, management 

style and other issues significantly contribute to the 

volatility of your portfolio. 

I believe it is important to understand what your risks 

are and how they relate to your financial goals. A

Exchange Club honors Freedom Shrine essay contest winners 

The Perrysburg 

Exchange Club recently 

announced the winners of its 

Freedom Shrine Essay Contest. 

The annual contest is 

open to students at Perrysburg 

Junior High School 

and St. Rose School. 

This year’s contest winners 

were honored at the 

Exchange Club meeting on 

February 25. After reading 

their essays, each winner 

was presented with a plaque 

and a U.S. Savings Bond. 

The winning essays follow. 

“Three Words to 

Live By” 

By Hannah Kloster 

Perrysburg Junior 

High School 

Liberty is a word for 

freedom. It is what our 

country is based on. The 

power to do as one pleases, 

without harming others. 

Liberty is the power of 

choice and the right to be 

free. Our founding fathers 

wanted to create a nation 

that would be free from 

tyranny and despotism. 

Patrick Henry once said, 

“Give me liberty or give me 

death.” That is how much 

they believed in liberty. 

They wanted the leaders of 

the nation to keep the opinions 

of the people in mind 

when leading the country. 

They believed that a government’s 

right to rule came 

from the people. When our 

founding fathers wrote the 

Constitution, they made sure 

to set up a government that 

would keep the best interests 

of the people in mind, 

and not be all powerful over 

its citizens. They made sure 

to give the people liberty. 

Equality is a life-changing 

word. It is one of the 

foundations of this country. 

It has brought forth monumental 

changes not only in 

this country, but to the society 

of the world as a whole. 

Because the United States of 

America believes so strongly 

in equality, we have 

changed the world. Women 

were given rights. They 

were endowed with the right 

to vote. African Americans 

were given rights. They 

could live a free life, and 

vote for their leaders. I feel 

that equality means that 

everyone has what they 

need to be happy available 

to them, regardless of race 

or gender. It states in the 

Declaration of Independence, 

that one of our 

“unalienable rights” is “the 

pursuit of Happiness.” It 

does not guarantee us happiness, 

but allows everyone an 

equal opportunity to pursue 

their own idea of happiness. 

Equality means that everyone 

can drink from the same 

drinking fountain, eat at the 

same restaurants, and sit in 

the same section of the bus, 

no matter what race or gender 

they are. The government 

may not keep anyone 

from being free and happy 

because of their gender, 

race, or religion. Without 

equality, tyranny would 

reign. 

Justice is a powerful 

word. It is the core belief of 

our country. Justice is fairness 

and righteousness. Justice 

helps to keep evil from 

overpowering good. With 

justice, people can be free 

from forces that wish to 

keep them from greatness. 

With justice, people can live 

a life of courage and honor, 

and can be happy and content 

with their life, without 

fear of intrusion by other 

citizens or their government. 

I feel that justice is the 

preservation of the truth. 

When justice is done, a 

wrong is made right. 

For our democratic system 

to be successful, liberty 

must be the highest priority 

to follow. Liberty keeps the 

people free. With liberty, 

citizens have the right to 

live their life the way they 

want to, without being 

shackled down by a government 

or despotism. Liberty 

gives people the right to fulfill 

their dreams. Liberty 

helps to keep citizens from 

becoming imprisoned 

unfairly by a government 

that rules over every aspect 

of their life. It means that 

the government protects and 

enhances a good citizen's 

rights, it does not interfere 

with them. To paraphrase 

Patrick Henry, there is no 

reason to live if one cannot 

live the life that one wants 

to. In America today, we 

The Perrysburg Exchange Club honored the Freedom Shrine essay contest winners at its February 25 

meeting. The eighth-grade students each read their winning essay to Exchange members and guests.

principal; Stephanie Ravas, St. Rose; Catherine King, Jenny Schaller, Hannah Kloster, PJHS students; Dale

think of liberty as an everyday 

thing. We forget that the 

founding fathers had to go 

to war and ultimately form a 

new country, just to get the 

liberty that we now take for 

granted. We forget about the 

soldiers, sailors, and aviators 

who literally had to 

fight and put there lives on 

the line to protect our freedom. 

Liberty gives everyone 

a reason to live, to have 

their own beliefs, and to 

make the most of their life. 

The quotes “unalienable 

rights” and “the pursuit of 

Happiness” are from the 

Declaration of Independence. 

Patrick Henry’s quote 

from The American Vision 

Textbook. 

“What Equality, 

Liberty, and Justice 

Mean to Me” 

By Catherine Marie 

King 

PJHS 

When our Founding 

Fathers first gathered 

together and decided that 

the colonies were in great 

need of independence, there 

were three certain principles 

upon which they founded 

this country. These principles 

were Liberty, Equality, 

and Justice. Since then, 

these fair ideals have been 

used as a basis in the making 

of laws; past, present, 

and hopefully in the unforeseeable 

future of this great 

nation. These three principles 

have several different 

meanings, and depending on 

which person you ask, you 

will receive different 

answers upon what they 

mean. However, I would be 

honored to educate you on 

my opinions. 

Liberty means that a person 

has the ability to control 

their own actions without 

the direct interference of 

another person. It also can 

mean that a person is free to 

pursue their own path in 

life.* Just because a person 

may enjoy liberty does not 

mean that they are free from 

the consequences of their 

actions. That is where justice 

comes in. But I shall 

touch on that at a later point. 

Liberty is important because 

it allows nations and the 

people of these nations to 

reach their full potentials. If 

the government limited the 

ways in which its citizens 

could express themselves, 

new ideas would never have 

been discovered. Through 

enabling people to have 

freedom of speech, the 

press, religion, and the right 

to assemble, nations provide 

the opportunity of the creation 

of life-changing ideas 

that can benefit the entirety 

of the country. 

Equality means that 

everyone receives the same 

access to liberty, regardless 

of their race, age, gender, 

ethnicity, orientation, or 

social standing. Governments 

should not give certain 

people or groups special 

treatment; it is unethical and 

can easily lead to the downfall 

of all that they had striven 

to create. All people are 

created equal, therefore all 

should be treated equal and 

have equal opportunities. 

Equality also means that 

you should take a person's 

conduct and motives into 

consideration when judging 

them, not their physical 

appearance. And even if you 

dislike or disagree with the 

way a person acts, you 

should treat them kindly. 

Justice means that people 

who have made mistakes are 

punished and hopefully 

learn their lesson. Wrongdoers 

atone for what they have 

done. Justice is a system 

based on what is considered 

morally correct. Without a 

justice system, criminals 

would run rampant and society 

would be unable to function 

like it does now. 

Nations and their citizens 

would not be able to 

progress, and life spans and 

living conditions would be 

significantly lower. Technology 

or human intelligence 

would not be as advanced. 

The most necessary of 

these three principles, in my 

opinion, would be that of 

Liberty. Without Liberty, we 

certainly would not have 

Equality in this country, and 

Justice could easily be 

abused. Thanks to Liberty, 

America as a nation and its 

citizens have been able to 

accomplish a great many 

things. America's democratic 

system has inspired many 

nations around the world, 

and bettered the entire globe 

as a result. Without liberty, 

democracy would fail. Governmental 

leaders would be 

chosen by a select few, and 

these leaders may have 

abused their positions for 

self gain. A politician's job 

is not to secure wealth for 

themselves and suppress 

those who oppose them. It is 

to work for the betterment 

of the country, and towards 

the freedom of all of their 

citizens.

“The Women's 

Suffrage Movement” 

By Stephanie Ravas 

St. Rose School 

While women have had 

the right to vote since the 

Nineteenth Amendment was 

ratified in 1920, I believe 

that the language and “spirit” 

of key historical documents 

that helped define the 

development of the United 

States and Census data have 

long supported voting rights 

and equal freedom rights for 

women as “governed citizens” 

of the United States. 

This freedom is supported in 

the language of the Declaration 

of Independence as well 

as the Gettysburg Address. 

Further, women's right to 

pursue and solidify their 

rights is supported in the 

First Amendment, and justified 

by their representation 

in the Census population of 

the United States. This 

paper will support the above 

thesis with specific historical 

documents and data 

findings. 

The Declaration of Independence 

states “that all 

men are created equal; that 

they are endowed by their 

Creator with certain unalienable 

rights...That to secure 

these rights, governments 

are instituted among men... 

from the consent of the governed.” 

While “women” was 

not stated verbatim, it is 

very clear that in the “spirit” 

of this document, both men 

and women were governed 

and expected, as citizens, to 

follow all laws set forth, and 

women should have, from 

this time forward, had equal 

rights under the language 

and “spirit” of the law. 

Additionally, in 1789, the 

First Amendment to the 

Constitution, contained in 

the Bill of Rights, was written 

to include the most 

important basic personal 

freedoms that American citizens 

enjoy. By definition, 

women were citizens under 

the law and should have 

been given all rights and 

freedoms provided under the 

law. This precedent continued 

with the Gettysburg 

Address in 1863, where 

President Lincoln concluded 

his address with these 

resounding words: “that this 

nation, under God, shall 

have a new birth of freedom 

- and that government of the 

people, by the people, for 

the people shall not perish 

from the earth.” To specifically 

state the word “people” 

three times, Lincoln is 

further emphasizing that 

ALL people, not only men, 

have the right to a government 

made up “of the people,” 

governed “for the people,” 

and elected “by the 

people.” It is clearly evident 

in the “spirit” and language 

of the documents that 

women should have equal 

rights, among them the right 

to vote. However, it is within 

man's interpretation of the 

law, in a predominantly 

male society, that women 

were not afforded this freedom 

until the Nineteenth 

Amendment was ratified in 

1920. 

While United States Census 

figures showed that the 

difference in population 

between men and women 

was less than two-percent in 

1920, it was women's 

protests, assemblies, and 

court cases at the state level, 

among other efforts, that 

allowed them to be heard. 

The Nineteenth Amendment 

recognized what was included 

in the “spirit” of the historical 

documents discussed 

earlier–women were citizens 

and, under the law, should 

have the right to vote as 

“governed citizens” of the 

United States. A history of 

Census figures shows a significant 

gender population 

shift, from 59 percent male 

and 41 percent female in 

1900 to 51 percent male and 

49 percent female in 1920, 

the year suffrage was granted 

to women. Today, using 

the latest Census figures 

from 2010, women represent 

51 percent of the population 

while men make up 

49 percent–this is a shift 

from the start of the 1900s 

(U.S. Census). This shift in 

population allowed women 

to significantly affect the 

policies and leadership in 

the United States, and in 

2008, eight million more 

women than men voted in 

the presidential election. 

This outcome resulted from 

presidential candidate Barak 

Obama’s focus on women’s 

issues that tend to favor 

family and other issues 

related to the homeland. 

Again in the 2012 election, 

President Obama focused on 

similar issues, and while 

both candidates used their 

electorate, and this “gender 

gap” was enough to swing 

an election away from Romney, 

who had received 52 

percent of the male vote 

(Huffington Post). Accordingly, 

the phrase “by the 

people” would not stand 

when less than 50 percent of 

the population by gender 

was represented. 

As is evident from the 

pivotal moments in our 

nation's history, such as the 

American Revolution and 

the Civil War, there was a 

strong willingness among 

American citizens to sacrifice 

for what was right and 

just. Like their predecessors 

in history, women suffragettes 

were “governed 

citizens” willing to sacrifice 

and suffer for the right to 

vote, which was clearly 

meant for all people, regardless 

of gender. The First 

Amendment states the most 

basic freedoms, of which the 

right of citizens to assemble 

and petition all three 

branches of the government 

for “redress of grievances,” 

are included. This means 

that existing laws can be 

challenged without fear of 

retribution. The National 

American Women Suffrage 

Association (NAWSA) was 

founded in 1890, and Elizabeth 

Cady Stanton as well as 

Susan B. Anthony were two 

of the strongest crusaders. 

Women risked much even 

being imprisoned for this 

cause because it was right, 

and their sufferings ranged 

from being denied food, visitors, 

or medical care during 

their imprisonment, to beatings, 

with the extreme case 

of one woman being bludgeoned 

between the eyes 

with a broken banner pole. 

This cruelty went against 

the freedom provided in the 

First Amendment; this must 

never be forgotten in honor 

of those who suffered for 

the cause. Even after the 

Nineteenth Amendment was 

passed in 1920, two out of 

three women failed to vote 

in the 1920 election possibly 

out of fear or a feeling that 

they were not worthy. Sadly, 

today in many middle-eastern 

countries, history is 

repeating itself with women 

being killed or tortured 

because of their struggle to 

vote. We must only look 

back in history to see those, 

who like women and their 

struggle to vote, crusaded 

and sacrificed for a right or 

freedom that was just, with 

a legacy that was far larger 

than anyone person. 

In conclusion, equal 

rights and the right to vote 

for women was a struggle 

involving selfsacrifice for 

many years. The above 

arguments support that a 

woman's right to vote 

should have been allowed 

prior to the Nineteenth 

Amendment. Finally ratifying 

the Nineteenth Amendment 

which gave women the 

right to vote, was a long and 

arduous process due to past 

traditions and the lack of 

new insight from the historically 

dominant male leadership 

made this struggle a 

long and arduous, but ultimately 

fulfilling process 

their efforts to put these 

rights into effect for women 

as “governed citizens” of 

the United States. Mark 

Twain said it very simply: “I 

know that since the women 

started out on their crusade 

they have scored in every 

project they undertook 

against unjust laws. I would 

like to see them help make 

the laws and those who are 

to enforce them.” (The New 

York Times, January 21, 

1901)

Tracy Hallock, Sabrina 

Weaver, Kelly Sandberg, 

Jennie Schultz, Cindy 

Daudelin and Stacey 

Geissler are finalizing the 

details for the St. Patrick’s 

celebration. 

The evening includes 

dinner, entertainment by 

Perrysburg’s Suburban 

Legend, live and silent auction 

and a cash bar including 

green beer. 

A rock and roll band, 

Suburban Legend features

Preparations are finalized 

for the second annual 

Parents of Preemies Day, 

this Sunday, March 10, 

from noon to 3 p.m. 

The event, presented by 

Graham’s Foundation, will 

be held at Health Care 

REIT, 4500 Dorr Street, 

Toledo. 

The day is designed to 

recognize the courage and 

commitment it takes to stay 

strong and resilient when 

premature birth turns a family’s 

world upside down, 

said Nick Hall, Perrysburg 

resident and founder and 

president of Graham’s 

Foundation. 

“This event is free for 

preemie parents wanting to 

celebrate the day, their 

friends and family, and anyone 

in the community that 

wants to attend to learn 

about what it means to be a 

preemie parent,” he added. 

The afternoon features a 

brunch, children’s activities, 

and exhibits that bring 

together a hand-selected 

group of prematurity specialists, 

as well as life 

coaching experts, counseling 

and therapeutic service 

providers, and other professionals 

who will be available 

to discuss how prematurity 

impacts families and 

how specific services and 

therapies can improve outcomes 

for premature infants 

and children. 

In addition, Parents of 

Preemies Day also encourages 

the sharing of photos 

and stories online 

www.facebook.com/par 

entsofpreemiesday and an 

initiative to share unique 

stories of hope, resilience 

and miracles. Submissions 

will become part of a banner 

that is being produced 

by a graphic design intern 

from Bowling Green State 

University and will be 

unveiled on Sunday. 

Nearly 13 million 

babies, or about 10 percent 

of total worldwide births, 

are born prematurely each 

year. Medical breakthroughs 

continue to 

improve the outcomes for 

babies born prematurely, 

but experts are only now 

beginning to understand the 

intense psychological 

effects that premature birth 

has on the parents of preemies. 

“Parents of Preemies 

Day is our way of introducing 

the world to the broader, 

lasting impact of premature 

birth on moms and dads,” 

said Mr. Hall. “No one who 

hasn’t gone through it can 

truly grasp the feelings of 

isolation felt by parents of 

preemies, but our hope is 

that by shining a light on 

the preemie parent community 

through Parents of Preemies 

Day, we can ease 

some of that loneliness.” 

Mr. Hall and his wife 

Jennifer know the effects of 

prematurity first hand, having 

experienced the birth of 

their twins at just 25 weeks 

gestation before facing the 

trials of the neo-natal intensive 

care unit and the loss 

of their son, Graham. 

“While in the NICU, 

my wife and I had so much 

support from our friends 

and family, employers, doctors 

and nurses,” said Mr. 

Hall. “And yet, we felt like 

we were barely surviving. 

People need to know that 

having a premature baby is 

a singularly heartbreaking 

and overwhelming experience. 

Parents of Preemies 

Day is a way we can help 

people understand the longlasting 

impact prematurity 

can have on parents and 

families.” 

The Elizabeth Scott 

Community is the event’s 

“miracle” sponsor. 

Graham’s Foundation 

Founded in 2009, Graham’s 

Foundation assembles 

and sends care packages 

designed to meet the 

needs of parents of preemies 

at various stages of 

the prematurity journey, 

from the early days in the 

NICU to the transition 

home. 

Graham’s Foundation 

also recognize that mothers 

and fathers who have said 

goodbye to their babies 

whether in or out of the 

hospital need support, too. 

The foundation offers three 

varieties of care 

package–one for parents in 

the NICU, one for families 

transitioning from hospital 

to home, and one for mothers 

and fathers who have 

suffered a loss. 

The Newborn Intensive 

Care Unit (NICU) Care 

Package is designed for parents 

of premature babies 

who are currently in the 

hospital–with an emphasis 

placed on providing information 

and resources that 

are most helpful during the 

early stages of their journey. 

These are shipped by Pampers 

directly to NICUs 

where they are distributed 

to parents of preemies by 

the staff. 

The Transition Home 

Care Package is designed to 

time, enjoy the luck of the 

Irish and help to support 

our community.” 

Last year, more than 

250 people attended the

“The Building Blocks 

of America” 

By Jenny Schaller 

PJHS 

We all have studied the 

Constitution and the Declaration 

of Independence sometime 

in our life. In each 

document, they discuss three 

key points: liberty, equality, 

and justice. After reading 

them so many times, they 

start to become meaningless 

over used words. But in reality, 

they are so much more 

than that. They are the basis 

of our country, and some of 

the main ideas that our 

founding fathers wanted us 

to insure stayed important in 

our society. 

The first important key 

value for America is liberty. 

What is liberty It is our freedom, 

our rights to do as we 

please. An amazing example 

of liberty is the Bill of 

Rights. The Bill of Rights 

states our freedom of speech, 

religion, to bear arms, etc. 

Liberty was established in 

America because our ancestors 

wanted to be free of a 

king. Freedom is why we 

prosper. 

One of the other main 

ideas that hold together 

America is equality. All men 

are created equal. This 

phrase is heard many times 

in speeches and historical 

documents, because every 

person is equal. It is very 

easy to look back at our old 

history and see that equality 

was not truly shown in the 

beginning of America. Fortunately, 

as civil rights began 

to grow stronger, Americans 

then realized how important 

it was that every man, 

whether they are African 

American, Hispanic, Asian, 

or white, are treated equally, 

despite their skin color. And 

as we watched history unfold, 

you can see that womens’ 

rights became a main 

issue too. By now, society 

has recognized that if you are 

straight, gay, lesbian, black, 

or white, it does not matter. 

We are all the same on the inside. 

In this way, equality has 

played a very large and important 

role in the growing of 

America. 

The last main idea that 

has built America is justice. 

Justice is a fair solution of a 

problem. 

On the bumpy road of 

founding America, you can 

see our justice system was a 

little shaky. Fortunately, as 

more cases we have dealt 

with have been brought to 

court, we have begun to settle 

in a fair justice system. 

Criminals have received appropriate 

treatment to their 

crimes, and second chances, 

when needed, have been 

given. In older societies, the 

phrase “An eye for an eye, 

and an ear for an ear” was 

used as a justice system. Our 

founding fathers saw that this 

method of punishment was a 

little too extreme and unfair, 

and thus you have our judicial 

system with fair laws 

and regulations. Americans 

are now settling issues more 

conveniently and more 

justly. 

In my eyes, liberty is the 

most necessary concept to 

make our democratic system 

the most successful. Slowly, 

our rights are being stripped 

from us. Right now, an important 

issue that has arisen 

is the right to bear arms. Yes, 

if we are not allowed to carry 

arms, we will be safer, but it 

is still a right that will be 

taken away, even though it is 

clearly stated in the Bill of 

Rights. As Americans, we 

need to recognize when our 

rights slowly diminish. Another 

example of freedom 

that Americans are losing is 

the right to privacy. We are 

being tracked more and more 

on the internet and on surveillance 

cameras. 

Liberty is also important 

because it is how America 

has prospered. “The best 

road to progress is freedom's 

road.” This quote was said by 

JFK. Kennedy was right 

when he said this, because 

Americans are allowed to do 

as they please, not told what 

their jobs are going to be, or 

where they are going to live, 

which is the reality in communist 

countries. Also, without 

freedom of speech or 

petition, we would not be 

able to express our disagreements 

with the government. 

Therefore, this is why I believe 

freedom is the most important 

concept in America. 

Overall, freedom, equality, 

and justice are all important 

foundations of our 

nation. We need to keep them 

in mind as we participate in 

our government, and make 

sure we can shape America 

into the amazing country it 

was meant to be. 

Quote from John F. 

Kennedy (Brainy Quotes. 

com). 

The Freedom Shrine 

The Freedom Shrine is a 

collection of 30 of the most 

important and historic American 

documents, including 

the Declaration of Independence, 

the Constitution of the 

United States and the Gettysburg 

Address. 

The Freedom Shrine is 

displayed at Perrysburg Junior 

High School on the second 

floor. 

Developed by the National 

Exchange Club, the 

Freedom Shrine originated 

from the Freedom Train that 

toured the nation in 1947 carrying 

an exhibit of historic 

documents. 

The purpose of the Freedom 

Shrine is twofold. It 

puts before young Americans 

proof that the freedom and 

greatness enjoyed today were 

not purchased easily and reminds 

them that these gifts 

must be cherished and protected.

Yellow Jackets win 

sectional opener, 55-42 


Perrysburg opened up the 

post season in a sectional 

matchup against Lima Senior 

on Wednesday February 

27, in Liberty Benton. 

The Spartans wasted no 

time attacking the basket in 

this win or go home 

matchup. 

Senior guard Devon Allen 

for the Spartans scored after 

causing an early turnover. 

Then his teammate and 6’5” 

freshman standout, Rico 

Stafford, hit a jumper along 

the baseline and Lima 

jumped to a 4-0 lead. 

Nick Moschetti hit a 

jumper in the lane to put the 

Jackets on the scoreboard, 

but they continued to trail 

early 7-2. Allen and Stafford 

continued their dual scoring 

threat, Allen driving to the 

whole and Stafford knocking 

down his short jumper. 

With two minutes remaining 

in the first quarter Perrysburg 

trailed 14-6. That’s 

when the Jackets went on a 

scoring frenzy. First, Shane 

Edwards stole a pass at mid 

court, dished it to Bryant 

Byrd on the wing, who gave 

it back for an Edwards lay 

up. 

Then Edwards deflected 

another Spartans pass attempt, 

which led to a Nick 

Moschetti three. 

Following his three, 

Moschetti took away the 

Spartans possession as they 

brought the ball up court 

and passed to Edwards, who 

was fouled while converting 

his layup and also adding a 

free throw. 

Perrysburg ended the first 

quarter with a 10-0 run to 

take a 16-14 lead. 

Edwards scored the first 

five points of the second 

quarter, helping the Jackets 

maintain their lead up until 

four minutes until half. 

When Lima Senior, who 

only trailed by one point, hit 

two free throws to take the 

lead 24-23. 

As the quarter wound 

down the Jackets’ Chris 

Schimmoeller hit a three 

with less than a minute to 

lift Perrysburg to a 27-26 

halftime lead. 

Of Perrysburg’s 27 points, 

Edwards scored an impressive 

18 of them. 

The second half started 

with Nate Patterson scoring 

from the post after Perrysburg 

pushed the ball up 

court to break the Lima Senior 

press. 

The third quarter involved 

six lead changes, but Patterson 

scored six points around 

the basket along with pivotal 

rebounds. Offensively 

and defensively Perrysburg 

carried the energy and improved 

its lead to 39-34 

heading into the fourth. 

Patterson started the 

fourth, where he left off in 

the third by scoring on a 

post up on the right block. 

The Spartans did finally get 

some offense out of 

Stafford, grabbing a rebound 

and putting it back in. 

This along with Ruben 

Flowers making both free 

throws on a 1-1 situation 

narrowed the Perrysburg 

lead to only three. 

Patterson added two more 

short jumpers and with only 

two minutes left the Jackets 

added six points off of a 

slew of Lima Senior fouls in 

an attempt to lengthen the 

game in desperation. 

Perrysburg closed the 

game winning 55-42. Patterson 

scored all 12 of his 

points in the second half. 

Edwards led Perrysburg 

with 18 points, along with 

Moschetti who put in 10. 

The Jackets now advance to 

play Fremont Ross.

a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday and

High School. 

PHS defeats Little Giants to win sectional finals 


Perrysburg’s defense carried 

them to victory to win 

their sectional final on Friday, 

March 1. They caused 

24 turnovers in a low scoring 

affair defeating Fremont 

Ross 48-36. They now advance 

to play Northern 

Lakes League champion 

Anthony Wayne. 

The Jackets took the lead 

first when Nate Patterson 

jumped in front of a Fremont 

Ross pass and then 

also scored on the other end 

making a lay up on the post. 

The following possession 

Nick Moschetti hit a three 

from the corner, 5-0 Jackets. 

Fremont Ross responded 

by pounding the ball inside 

relying on the play of 6’4” 

big man Dylan Jagodzinski 

and 6’3” center Drew Solander 

to go on a 6-0 run. The 

Little Giants and Jackets 

had six lead changes 

throughout the quarter. 

With less than a minute 

remaining in the first quarter 

Perrysburg held for the 

final shot and it paid off 

when Chris Schimmoeller 

hit a jumper from the free 

throw line to give his team a 

12-10 lead heading into the 

second. 

Fremont Ross tied the 

game to open the second 

quarter, but Shane Edwards 

grabbed the lead back by 

driving the baseline and 

scoring on a lay up. The Giants 

quickly responded with

a three from Jack Gideon. 

However, Moschetti responded 

on the very next 

possession with a three of 

his own to maintain a two 

point lead 17-15. 

Patterson closed the half 

offensively for the Jackets 

scoring twice from the post 

to give Perrysburg a slim 

21-20 lead at halftime. 

Each team traded baskets 

to start the second half but 

afterwards neither team 

scored for the next three 

minutes. Perrysburg was 

leading by one point and 

with little scoring, both 

teams were looking for a 

spark. 

The Jackets’ Matt Kaczinski 

provided that spark for 

his team when he stole a 

pass at mid-court and laid it 

in. On the next Perrysburg 

possession they worked the 

ball around and found Nick 

Moschetti in the corner for a 

three to lead 30-25 with 

2:53 remaining in the third. 

Perrysburg closed the 

quarter holding onto a four 

point lead, but on the first 

play of the fourth quarter 

Bryant Byrd extended that 

lead to six off a nice spin 

move in the lane to make a 

short one handed jumper. 

Fremont Ross, down by 

six points, pushed on a 4-0 

run behind the scoring hand 

of Gideon and now only 

trailed 34-32. During the 

next several minutes Perrysburg 

impressively made 10 

out of 12 free throws, including 

two from Edwards, 

that came after he was 

thrown hard to the ground 

going for a loose ball. 

Moschetti led the Jackets 

with 19 points, followed by 

Patterson who had 10. 

The Jackets celebrated 

their sectional championship 

by cutting down the 

nets at Liberty Benton and 

will face the Generals 

Thursday, March 7, at 7 

p.m. at Liberty Benton.

on Aging, Inc. 

(WCCOA) has been awarded 

a $4,000 grant from the 

Meals On Wheels Association 

of America (MOWAA) 

as part of the Subaru of 

America “Share the Love” 

event. 

WCCOA worked with 

LaRiche Subaru during the 

2012 holiday season to deliver 

hot, nutritious meals to 

North Baltimore area homebound 

seniors. 

“We were pleased for the 

generous support Subaru of 

America has given to Meals 

on Wheels programs, such as 

ours. This is the third consecutive 

year we have had the 

opportunity to partner with 

Subaru dealerships in our 

area for this event,” said 

Angie Bradford, director of 

food service for WCCOA. 

“This grant award will be 

used to assist in the expansion 

of our home delivered meal 

program throughout Wood 

County.” 

As one of the five Subaru 

“Share the Love” event charitable 

partners, MOWAA created 

the “Share the Love” 

grant program to foster partnerships 

between local Meals 

On Wheels programs and 

Subaru dealerships. 

MOWAA is awarding 

$200,000 in grants to 66 

419-874-1176 

Now open 6 a.m. Tues, Thur & Fri 

200 E. South Boundary St. ( BIG LOTS plaza) 

WCCOA receives grant from Meals 

on Wheels Association of America 

Meals On Wheels programs 

across the country that involved 

dealership employees 

in their efforts to serve homebound 

seniors in their community. 

“We greatly appreciate 

Subaru’s fifth consecutive 

year of commitment to Meals 

On Wheels through its ‘Share 

the Love’ event,” said Ellie 

Hollander, incoming 

MOWAA president and CEO. 

“We also owe a sincere 

debt of gratitude to the Subaru 

purchasers who generously 

selected Meals On 

Wheels as their beneficiary. 

As a result, our programs can 

purchase food and equipment 

to provide more nutritious 

meals to hungry, homebound 

seniors in the local communities 

in which Subaru employees 

and customers live and do 

business. Having that kind of 

social impact is enormous 

and speaks volumes about the 

company’s commitment to 

‘sharing the love.’” 

Wood County Committee 

on Aging serves approximately 

750 meals Monday 

through Friday to the 60 year 

and older population throughout 

Wood County. 

To receive more information 

about the WCCOA’s 

home delivered and congregate 

meal programs, call 419-

WHEREAS, Multiple myeloma (or myeloma), the second most common blood 

cancer worldwide, is a cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow. 

It is called “multiple” because the cancer can occur at multiple 

sites; and 

WHEREAS, Multiple myeloma currently affects more than 100,000 people in 

the United States, with an estimated 20,000 new cases diagnosed 

each year and 10,000 losing their battle each year; and 

WHEREAS, Once a disease of the elderly, it is now being found in increasing 

numbers in people under 65; and 

WHEREAS, because myeloma is a rare disease there can be a delayed diagnosis, 

leading to delayed treatment. For this reason an increased 

awareness of myeloma for clinicians and the general public will 

lead to earlier diagnosis allowing people to live longer; and 

WHEREAS, continued investment and innovation is critical to achieve early 

diagnosis and implement the most effective and safest treatments 

for myeloma patients; and 

WHEREAS, Although we have seen important advances in the last decade, 

there is still no cure for myeloma; and 

THUS, the City of Perrysburg is committed to increasing awareness of myeloma 

and encouraging private efforts to enhance research funding and education programs; 

and 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Nelson D. Evans, Mayor of the City of Perrysburg, 

Ohio, do hereby proclaim the month of March as 

MYELOMA AWARENESS MONTH 

In Perrysburg, Ohio, encourage all residents to join me in participating in voluntary 

activities to support myeloma education and the funding of research programs 

to find a cure. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great 

Seal of the City of Perrysburg, Wood County, Ohio, to be affixed this 5th day of 

February, in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Thirteen.
