Decision on transportation provider goes back to committee 

Council approves 1.45-mill public transportation levy for Nov. ballot 

By Deb Buker 

On November 6, Perrysburg 

voters will decide 

whether or not to fund public 

transportation services 

within the city of Perrysburg. 

At its July 31 meeting, 

Perrysburg City Council 

unanimously approved a resolution 

to place a five-year, 

1.45-mill levy on the 

November ballot. If 

approved, an owner of a 

$200,000 home would pay 

approximately $88 annually. 

The estimated property tax 

revenue collected would be 

$824,476–almost half the 

amount ($1.5 million) currently 

being collected annually 

for TARTA services. 

However, a final decision 

regarding a transportation 

provider–if voters approve 

the funding–has not been 

determined. The city 

received six requests for 

proposals and narrowed 

selection to four 

services–MV Transportation, 

Black and White Transportation 

Services, LeFleur 

Transportation and Ride 

Right, LLC. 

Councilman Tim McCarthy welcomed Boy Scout 

Nolan Matus who attended the council meeting as 

part of his Citizenship in the Community badge. 

Nolan is a member of Grace Church Troop 110 

and attends Perrysburg Junior High School. 

* * 

Councilman and chairman 

of the health, sanitation 

and public utilities (HSPU) 

committee Todd Grayson 

recommended proposals 

from Mobile Care EMS and 

TLC be eliminated because 

he believes they do not have 

the requisite scope of experience 

and size for the city. 

After discussion and further 

review, the HSPU committee 

narrowed the selection 

to MV Transportation, a 

Texas-based company, and 

Black and White transportation, 

Toledo-based. The 

committee voted 2-1 to recommend 

entering into contract 

negotiations with MV 

Transportation–Mr. Grayson 

and Councilman Tim 

McCarthy approved the recommendation 

with Councilman 

John Kevern casting the 

no vote. 

The ordinance to move 

forward with negotiations 

with MV was tabled at the 

council meeting and sent 

back to committee for further 

examination of the bids. 

“There is no clear support 

[for a provider] at this time,” 

said Councilman McCarthy. 

Council President Joe 

Lawless told council that he 

supported sending the ordinance

Warm and humid weather failed to deter thousands of 

people from turning out for the annual Wood County Fair 

last week. 

With temperatures soaring into the upper 80s and low 

90s, fairgoers sought shade, a cool breeze and a refreshing 

drink where they could. Participants in the livestock 

competitions provided their animals with plenty of water 

and an occasional cool bath, while industrial fans helped 

keep the barns cool. 

In addition to the livestock competitions, fairgoers 

enjoyed rides, games, food and entertainment. 

Clockwise from top left: the Pork-a-lean building once 

again attracted huge crowds, eager to eat the sandwich, 

which is available only during the fair; Perrysburg Township 

firefighter/EMTs–from left Mike Green, Alec Smith, 

Barrett Dornel, Dave Bitz and Jake Hoffman–provided 

first aid to anyone who was injured or overcome by the 

heat on August 2; Dolan Peter, six months, with help 

from his mother Christle enjoys a pony ride–the family 

was visiting the area from Virginia; Maya Mason, 3, held 

by her father Jeff, is fascinated by the horses, and Matt 

Ducat, Bob Schrader and Rob Ducat decided to attend 

the fair dressed as Knights in shining armor. 

City rejects fact-finder report, but firefighters unanimously approve report for 

Perrysburg Professional Firefighters International Association Local 3331 contract 

After an executive session 

last week, Perrysburg City 

Council voted to reject the 

fact-finder report between 

the City of Perrysburg and 

the International Association 

of Firefighters (IAFF) Local 

3331. 

According to the report, 

“since the parties have 

reached an impasse in negotiations 

with respect to the 

issues of wages and duration, 

the parties have submitted 

their dispute to fact finding.” 

The fact-finding hearing 

was held on May 15 at the 

municipal building. 

Wages 

The report stated the following: 

“Local 3331 proposed 

maintaining the current 

pay matrix with annual 

increases for its bargaining 

unit members, as follows: 

effective March 2012–3 percent; 

effective March 2013–3 

percent, and effective March 

2014–3 percent. The city has 

proposed annual increases of 

1.25 percent for the local’s 

unit members, based upon 

the current pay matrix.” 

The fact-finder recommendation 

states: “The local 

unit members are to receive 

the following increases in 

wages based upon the current 

pay matrix: 2.75 percent in 

2012; 2.5 percent in 2013, 

and 2.5 percent in 2014.” 

Duration of Agreement 

“The city seeks a wagere-opener 

in the third year of 

the contract. The basis for 

doing so is the uncertain state 

of the economy which, in 

effect, makes it difficult for 

the city to predict its economic 

condition for two 

years. 

“The local unit claims 

that a wage re-opener in 

2014 leads to an expenditure 

of time and expense for the 

parties which should be 

avoided.” 

Fact-finder recommendation: 

“A wage re-opener in 

2014 is not recommended. 

“Since 2008, the parties 

have been resorting to the 

dispute resolution procedures 

of SERB. A wage re-opener 

encourages either party to 

turn to such procedures when 

bargaining becomes difficult. 

Moreover, the city 

acknowledges that the city is 

continuing a trend of steady 

growth, The city has eliminated 

all of its debt. In addition, 

the city’s revenues from 

income tax collections in 

2012 are running approximately 

similar to the 

amounts received in 2011. 

Accordingly, I believe that 

the interest of stable labor 

relations is best served by 

recommending a three-year 

contract without a wage reopener.” 

IAFF Local 3331 

Response 

By Pete Scarborough, 

Vice President 

“On February 28, 2012, 

the contract between the City 

of Perrysburg and the Perrysburg 

Professional Firefighters 

International Association 

of Firefighters Local 3331 

expired. 

The firefighters requested 

to begin negotiations with 

the city on November 27, 

2011. The city was not available 

to meet with the firefighters 

until January 2012. 

At that meeting a new contract 

could not be agreed to, 

and the next meeting did not 

take place until after the contract 

had expired. 

The firefighters continued 

to work and provide their 

usual level of care to all the 

citizens of Perrysburg in 

emergency medicine, fire 

suppression and fire prevention. 

A few more meetings 

took place and the city and 

the firefighters agreed to 

everything with the exception 

of wages. The firefighters 

were asking for the same 

level of wage increase that 

most of the city administrators 

gave themselves. It 

should be noted that the 

administration has given 

themselves 2 to 3 percent 

and/or extra vacation days 

every year, on average, for 

the past few years. The city 

came to the table with an 

offer of zero; the union started 

at 3 percent. With no 

agreement both sides agreed 

to bring in a fact-finder. 

The purpose of this factfinder 

was to bring in someone 

who is unbiased. The 

fact-finder acted fairly, modestly, 

equal, with a good conscience, 

sound judgment and 

in order to attempt to keep 

good labor relations. The 

fact-finder was presented 

with both sides of the issues 

and researched all the facts to 

confirm them, as well as 

gather any pertinent information 

on the matter in question 

and then made his recommendation 

based on these 

facts. This is the second consecutive 

contract in which 

the firefighters have had to 

use a fact-finder. The last 

fact-finder recommended a 

3.25 percent wage increase in 

year one, a 3 percent increase 

in year two and to reopen 

negotiations for the third 

year’s wages. The city rejected 

that recommendation and 

forced the firefighters to go 

to a conciliator. This cost 

both the city and the firefighters 

nearly $4,000. 

Now we come to this 

year’s fact-finder report and 

again the fact-finder, having 

reviewed all the facts, makes 

a judgment based only on 

those facts and the facts 

he/she discovered in their 

own investigation. This year 

the fact-finder has recommended 

wage increases of 

2.75 percent in 2012 (half of 

which is over), 2.5 percent in 

2013 and 2.5 percent in 

2014. The firefighters, even 

though this is not what they 

were asking, unanimously 

agreed to this. This was 

agreed to save the cost of 

having to go to a conciliator 

for both the city taxpayers 

and the firefighters. However, 

city council had six people 

arrive for their vote and 

all six voted to refuse this 

recommendation. This was 

not what the city had wanted 

to offer nor was it what the 

firefighters had wanted; it 

was recommendation by a 

third party based only on 

facts. 

The city, the fact-finder 

and the firefighters all agree 

the city can afford it. The city 

just does not want to pay it. 

Over the last six years, the 

city has carried a high 

amount of unencumbered 

fund balances. In 2006 it was 

$2,705,316 or 22 percent, in 

2007 it was $3,495,379 or 27 

percent, 2008 it was 

$3,737,219 or 19 percent, 

2009 the total was 

$2,999,180 about 17.5 percent, 

2010 created 

$3,462,090 or 20.5 percent 

and 2011 the total was 

$3,948,103 or 21 percent. 

The ability to pay is there. 

‘Because we do not want to,’ 

is a childish stance and does 

not help labor relations. If the 

city was in some sort of 

financial trouble they would 

expect, and likely receive, 

concessions from the firefighters. 

However that is not 

the case here. 

Now that this recommendation 

has been rejected, 

both parties can continue to 

discuss other options. However 

the Perrysburg firefighters 

have been working, continuing 

providing excellent 

care since February, without 

a contract. The city has 

refused to sign an agreement 

giving the firefighters any 

back increase since this contract 

expired in February of 

this year. Therefore any wage 

increase the firefighters do 

get this year will only be for 

approximately half the year. 

If the parties cannot 

agree, they will go before a 

conciliator. This person will 

decide what the agreement is 

and both parties will have to 

accept it. The last time this 

occurred was during the last 

contract and the conciliator 

gave the firefighters the 

amount the fact finder has 

recommended 3.25 percent, 

3 percent and reopen year 

three. However the city 

would not give the back pay 

as that contract also had 

expired some months before. 

So the conciliator awarded 0 

percent in year one and 6.75 

percent in year two and 

reopen year three. 

To me this seems like an 

exercise in futility. Does anyone 

expect the conciliator to 

see the facts any differently 

Does anyone else see this as 

a waste of nearly $4,000 plus 

legal fees Is paying the 

lawyers and conciliator more 

important than paying these 

men and women a basic cost 

of living increase Since the 

money is still being paid out 

by the taxpayers, who should 

get it The firefighters who 

provide an excellent level of 

service to the citizens of Perrysburg 

and deserve a fair 

cost of living expense Or 

the lawyers who represent 

them and the city 

Thank you.”

may have a significant number 

of employees retiring at 

the same time. In this scenario, 

it is conceivable that 

there may be a business need 

to rehire a retiree, especially 

since the city has recently 

experienced considerable 

management turnover. As 

you know, within the last few 

weeks, the city has hired a

“In addition to these new 

hires, our director of public 

service, Jon Eckel, has decided 

to retire. Even the best 

employee is replaceable but 

timing can be critical. In my 

opinion, Jon will play a pivotal 

role throughout this transitional 

time and the city and

rehiring him. This is a compelling

Bicycling program offered 

Anyone can enjoy the

a park. That is the simple 

premise of PEAC–Programs

A “demo day” will be

5 p.m. Staff and volunteers 

from PEAC will be on hand 

to demonstrate the types of 

adaptive bicycles that are 

available. The demonstration 

is open to everyone. 

PEAC is a national 

leader in the field of teaching 

cycling skills to individuals 

with cognitive, 

physical and emotional disabilities. 

The program’s 

mission is to enhance the 

lives of participants by 

using cycling for transportation, 

integrated recreation, 

fitness and therapy.

service and fellowship. 

Selection criteria for students

The audience was captivated 

with the performance and 

enjoyed ice cream on the 

porch afterwards. 

The Toledo Zoo presented 

an interesting program 

on animal adaptation 

including demonstrations 

with real animals. 

Children traveled to 

W.W. Knight Preserve and 

came away from the nature 

walk with a knowledge of 

bald eagles and why they are 

no longer on the endangered 

species list.

watched the movie “Peter 

Pan.” The toys spent the 

night in the library and children 

were surprised to see 

pictures on the library bulletin 

board of what mischief 

they caused overnight at 

Way. 

Another big attraction 

was Jerry Schneider’s presentation 

on bats. After learning 

interesting facts about 

these animals, children then 

made bat T-shirts. 

The summer began with a 

magic show by a professional 

magician and ended 

with a magic show presented 

by “newly discovered magicians.” 

This show was very special 

as the magicians were 

students of magic classes 

held at the library for elementary 

aged students in 

July. 

Instruction of the wonders 

of magic was given by 

Richard Lake. 

Many enthusiastic magic 

lovers attended the performance 

on July 25. 

In addition to these programs, 

children also participated 

in the Page Turner’s 

Book Discussion group. 

Lively discussions revolved 

around “The Capture,” by 

Kathryn Lasky and “Ridge 

Runner Rescue,” by Mike 

Graf.

Bark for Life is an ACS

qualities of canine “best 

friends.” 

It presents an opportunity 

for people to be empowered 

through their canine companion 

partnerships and to 

contribute to cancer cures 

through the mission of the 

American Cancer Society. 

Canine companions represent 

unconditional love, 

security, compassion, joy 

and no judgments of human 

abilities or appearances. 

The ACS Bark for Life is 

an irresistible way to “take 

the bite out of cancer,” smile 

and make new friends–canine 

and human.

Library of Congress Veterans Project continues at Way Library 

By Richard Baranowski 

This Sunday the country 

will be celebrating Keep the 

Spirit of ’45 Alive, a day set 

aside by Congress in 2010 in 

remembrance of the formal 

end of World War II, August 

14, 1945. What better time 

for hometown resident Barney 

Schwind Sr. to tell about 

his experiences as a seaman 

in the U.S. Navy during 

World War II. 

Recently, Way Library 

interviewed Mr. Schwind for 

the Library of Congress veterans 

history project. Way 

Library is a partner in this 

project and continues to tape 

hometown veterans, preserving 

their service stories for 

national, local and family 

history. 

Mr. Schwind’s local roots 

date back to 1852, when his 

great-grandfather, Valentine 

Schwind, emigrated from 

Germany to Perrysburg. This 

village pioneer was a wagon 

maker and ran a shop in the 

first block of West Front 

Street. Receiving land from 

his service in the Civil War, 

he later established a farm on 

Five Point Road. Four generations 

later, on June 9, 1922, 

Mr. Schwind was born at 

home on West Seventh 

Street. 

“I graduated from Perrysburg 

High School in 1940,” 

he said. “Our senior class 

took a trip to the World’s 

Fair in New York City. We 

rented a Greyhound bus. It 

took us two days to get there 

and was quite the trip. 

“After high school, I really 

didn’t have any plans. I 

was working for Henry 

Uthoff. He was an old German 

who had a cigar business. 

His shop was on the 

second floor of his house on 

the corner of Sixth and 

Louisiana. It’s still there. He 

didn’t sell cigars from here, 

only made them–and made 

them by hand. He’d get the 

tobacco from Virginia. They 

would come in hands or 

leaves. I’d wrap the leaf 

around my hand and pull the 

stem out and he’d make 

homemade cigars out of it. 

After the cigar was made, I’d 

put cellophane around it, 

fold it over and slip a band 

on it to hold the wrapper in 

place. Mr. Uthoff would put 

them in cigar boxes, 50 to a 

box, and secure the lid with a 

small nail. He would travel 

around to cigar stores and 

taverns to sell his cigars. 

One place he went to in Perrysburg 

was Keith Muir’s 

City Cigar Store. It was up 

on Louisiana in the second 

block. It was also a tavern 

and restaurant. I earned $12 

per week. I was working for 

Mr. Uthoff when Pearl Harbor 

was bombed. 

“I decided to enlist in the 

Navy, really to stay out of 

the Army. Some of my buddies 

had gone into the Army 

and got shipped overseas in a 

few months. The Navy 

seemed better duty. They had 

real beds and decent food. 

The Army ate out of tin cans. 

“I spent about 12 weeks 

in boot camp at Great Lakes 

in Chicago. They asked if 

anyone was interested in 

going to radio school. So I 

signed up for radio school 

and took some instruction at 

Great Lakes. After awhile, 

they asked if I wanted shipboard 

or aviation school and 

I picked aviation. I was soon 

shipped to Memphis, where I 

saw my first airplane. I started 

aviation school there and 

was assigned to a PBY 

squadron. 

“Let me explain what a 

PBY was. A PBY was a flying 

boat. They were a slowmoving 

airplane used in antisubmarine 

warfare and patrol 

bombing. In fact PB stands 

for patrol bomber. The Y 

stood for the plane’s manufacturer. 

Our biggest advantage 

is that we didn’t need a 

runway to land. The early 

PBY’s didn’t even have 

wheels. Seabees would 

attach wheels to them on the 

side and bring them up a 

ramp and take them down 

the runway to the hangar. 

Later on they had wheels 

that could be raised up 

alongside of the plane when 

you wanted to take-off or 

land in the water, which was 

the kind I was on. 

“The PBY was pretty 

well armed. We had twin 

30mm guns on the bow, twin 

30mm guns on the tail, and 

twin 50’s in the turret. I think 

we had about eight guys in 

the crew. I was a gunner or 

radioman. We could carry 

about six or eight passengers. 

“Part of my PBY training 

was in Fort Lauderdale, 

Florida. The Navy had a 

gunnery school there. It was 

about an eight or ten-week 

program. One day I went up 

in the plane for training. I 

was to practice on a twin 

30mm. Another plane flying 

nearby was towing a large 

piece of canvas, which was 

used as the target, and my 

objective was to try and hit 

this target. The bullets were 

marked with different colors 

of paint so they would know 

where they came from. 

“I was firing a turret gun. 

The instructor told me I was 

firing too high. We made 

another round, and I lowered 

the gun. I fired. The instructor 

repeated that I was still 

firing too high. We came 

around again. I fired lower 

and hit the plane towing the 

target. I told my instructor 

that I didn’t think I was 

shooting that high. The tow 

plane started flying erratically, 

dropping and gaining altitude 

several times. I was 

praying that he would land 

O.K., and he finally did. As 

soon as I got down, I heard 

my name being paged. ‘Aviation 

Radio Third Class 

Schwind report to the commanding 

officer immediately.’ 

“I walked in shaking all 

over. ‘What do you mean by 

shootin’ down my airplane, 

boy’ the old man said. He 

was a southern boy. I told 

him the gun was sighted 

wrong. After we had landed, 

the gunnery instructor and 

the airplane captain checked 

the gun and it was way off. 

‘I was trying to correct 

for it, sir,’ I told him, ‘but I 

guess I didn’t correct for it 

enough.’ The old man said, 

‘You sit there and don’t you 

move.’ They brought in the 

ordnance guy, and he 

chewed him out. There was a 

lady in there too and I don’t 

know what she had to do 

with it, but he yelled at her 

too. The maintenance guy 

was called in. The commander 

said to him, ‘What do 

you have to say about this 

guy shooting your gun and 

shooting down my airplane’ 

He said he didn’t have time 

to get around to all of the 

guns to check them, and that 

he was very sorry it happened. 

The commander then 

asked the ordnance man how 

often the guns were checked. 

He said that they sometimes 

don’t get to them for two or 

three days. The old man 

asked how often the planes 

go up. Every day, sir, the 

ordnance man said. ‘So you 

don’t check the guns until 

the third day, and this man 

shoots down one of my airplanes. 

Get out of here; 

you’re going out to sea!’ 

After Mr. Schwind completed 

training, he was sent 

to North Africa. It was a 

place called Port Lyautey 

located in Morocco. It was 

home to a large Naval air 

station which served as a 

staging area for many Allied 

operations in North Africa 

and the Mediterranean Theatre 

of Operations. Several 

Navy PBY Catalina patrol 

squadrons were headquartered 

here, as well as Army 

Air Force units patrolling the 

Atlantic Ocean approaches 

and Straits of Gibraltar. 

There was constant vigilance 

for German U-Boats. In 

addition, the airfield was 

used as a stop-over for personnel 

and cargo transport. 

“We went on patrols in 

the Mediterranean looking 

for German subs, sometimes 

going as far as the Suez 

Canal. It was important that 

the canal stay open and to 

prevent any sabotage by the 

Germans, although we had 

pretty much chased them out 

of Africa by the time I got 

over there. But there were a 

lot of boats moving through 

with troops and hardware 

and we acted as protection 

for some of these convoys. 

We also did search and rescue 

missions. I remember 

one time we picked up some 

North African women, evacuating 

them to the base hospital. 

I was usually the 

radioman, but sometimes 

gunner on most of the trips. I 

was in Port Lyautey for 

about five months. In all my 

time there I never fired my 

gun at the enemy. We never 

encountered the enemy the 

whole time I was there. The 

German Air Force was pretty 

much neutralized and all 

gone from Africa. 

“I had a lot of training in 

radio and some in radar, and 

they offered me and some 

others a chance to become an 

officer. It would mean going 

back to school, but it also 

meant going back to the 

States. I think I was the first 

in line.” 

Mr. Schwind was sent to 

Stevens Institute in Hoboken, 

New Jersey, as part of 

the V-12 program. This was 

a program to send prospective 

Naval officers to college 

to study in areas most needed 

by the Navy. After three 

semesters, which took a year, 

the candidates received their 

commission. You also 

received full college credit 

for the courses taken. Mr. 

Schwind began studying 

radio repair. 

“The best part of Stevens 

was that I met my wife, 

Leonilda Angeli, while I was 

there. She was from the 

Bronx in New York City. 

My buddy, a redhead nicknamed 

Rusty, was going out 

with Lee’s cousin Flora 

Paginelli. He took me to a 

party at Flora’s one Sunday 

and fixed me up with Lee. 

She was a jewelry buyer at 

Macy’s. When I first saw 

her, I thought where do I 

sign up 

“We got married on 

Barney Schwind on a recent visit to Way Library 

Barney Schwind, on leave in 1943, in front of his home 

at 329 West Seventh Street. 

March 17, 1946, in St. 

Roche’s Church in the 

Bronx. This was the only 

day during Lent that 

Catholics were allowed to 

get married, and we took 

advantage of it. I was transferred 

back to Great Lakes 

and took some radar school. 

The Navy had invested a lot 

of training in me, and they 

asked me to stay in. I said no 

and I was discharged. I 

wanted to get out and start 

my own business.” 

Mr. Schwind talked his 

smart and sophisticated New 

York City bride to come 

back to Perrysburg with him. 

“When I came back to 

Perrysburg, my wife and I 

lived with my parents, then 

we moved above the old 

Houck’s drugstore,” he said. 

“We went up there and it 

was a ramshackle of a place 

–one big room. I think it 

used to be the old telephone 

exchange at one time. Mr. 

Houck was using it as an 

attic, and there was a lot of 

old junk stored up there. My 

buddy Jim Cryan and I 

cleared it out, painted the 

whole place and put a new 

linoleum floor down and 

fixed it up pretty nice. It was 

tough to find a place to live 

in Perrysburg right after the 

war. Later, we rented a house 

at Sixth and Cherry. Then 

we built our house on Walnut, 

where we still live 

today.” 

After the war, Mr. 

Schwind had plans to start 

his own radio repair business. 

He found himself in the 

right place at the right time. 

Television had just started 

making inroads. He took 

some TV repair schooling 

using the GI Bill and started 

fixing this new invention 

that beamed a moving picture 

right into your living 

room. He was probably 

among the first TV repairmen 

in the area. 

“The GI Bill even paid 

for some of my equipment 

and tools,” Mr. Schwind 

said. “I also worked for 

some car dealers, repairing 

automobile radios. For a 

time I worked for a fellow 

named Glenn Doren in Rossford. 

He wanted to get out of 

the radio business and I 

opened a TV and radio repair 

store in Rossford sometime 

later.” 

Mr. Schwind could often 

be seen around Perrysburg 

driving his Pontiac station 

wagon making house calls 

sort of like a doctor. His 

black bag though, contained 

capacitors, resistors and 

tubes of all makes and sizes. 

Those early TV’s were large 

and heavy, more furniture 

than screen, some even had 

doors on them. He did brisk 

business, as his nearest competition 

was Charles Lober, 

who stuck to mostly overthe-counter 

repair business 

from his storefront in Perrysburg. 

“I enjoyed my time serving 

my country,” Mr. 

Schwind said. “If it hadn’t 

been for the service, I 

wouldn’t have met my wife 

and went into radio and TV 

repair. The service formed 

my whole life. I was lucky 

that nothing ever happened 

to me, but I felt sorry for and 

prayed for the guys that were 

not so lucky.”

Perrysburg residents Dr. 

Jay Nielsen, M.D., and his 

wife Jan founded Missions 

International of America, a 

501(c)(3) charitable foundation, 

11 years ago. 

The Brad Reddick School 

in Savanette, Haiti now has 

nine teachers and 300 students. 

The school is named 

for Perrysburg resident Brad 

Reddick, who died of cancer 

in August 2004. 

Dr. and Mrs. Nielsen lead 

medical teams throughout the 

year to Savanette with family 

physicians, dentists, surgeons 

and an eyeglass program. 

Mrs. Nielsen has organized 

50 Haitian women in 

the “Circle of Life” beading 

program who make $400 

each year creating jewelry 

from magazine pages. 

Dr. Nielsen has coordinated 

the installation of 9,000 

feet of PVC pipe, two wells 

and 13 family gardens, a 

research garden and is 

preparing to build a new conference 

center and Farm 

Resource Center designed to 

teach 72 Haitian farmers 

agricultural techniques. 

“Last year the ‘Buy a 

Pipe’ program was so successful, 

it allowed us to 

expand pipe down the road, 

add more gardens and water 

stations,” Dr. Nielsen said. 

“This year we will focus on 

‘Grow a Farm’ and the proceeds 

will help supply plants, 

seeds, nursery stock and 

equipment as we move forward 

with the Ron Meier 

Farm Resource Center.”

PET OF THE WEEK 

Harry is a sweet man who was 

rescued from the Slippery Elm 

trail. He spends most of his time 

lounging around and watching 

people go by. He likes to be petted 

and held, but for the most part is a 

mellow man. He would love to 

find a forever home where he can 

lounge on the couch and a lap to 

keep warm! 

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

Nominations sought for Virginia Secor Stranahan Citizen of the Year 

The League of Women 

Voters of the Perrysburg 

Area (LWVPA) is accepting 

nominations for the 2012 

Virginia Secor Stranahan 

Citizenship Award. 

The award was established 

in 2002 to honor Virginia 

Secor Stranahan's 

contributions made to our 

community. The award will 

be given on Sunday, September 

23. 

Born Virginia Secor, 

“Diddy” grew up a privileged 

child of banker-broker 

Jay Secor and Mary Barnes 

Secor. 

Despite her privileged 

childhood, she was a person 

of many interests diligently 

seeking ways to share her 

wealth and talent. 

Stewardship is a key 

word in Ms. Stranahan’s life. 

Today the 577 Foundation, 

which she founded, is a lasting 

gift to Perrysburg. 

The Foundation is located 

on a 14-acre river front 

property on East Front 

Street. 

Because of her commitment 

to helping others 

achieve their potential, the 

LWVPA developed the Virginia 

Secor Stranahan Citizenship 

award to honor 

someone with similar values. 

The award is a fitting 

reminder of her legacy. 

Nominees for this award 

may be either male or female 

and must be someone 

who has been actively involved 

in the community in 

addition to making a profound 

impact on Perrysburg 

and surrounding area.
