PERRYSBURG YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER 1935 1853 VOLUME 161, NUMBER 7 – FEBRUARY 13, 2013 ©WELCH PUBLISHING COMPANY, PERRYSBURG, OHIO, (419) 874-4491 PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER 75¢ SINGLE COPY Support services to be provided by WSOS New senior rental housing development proposed at HarborTown Place By Deb Buker HarborTown Senior Residence, a $15 to $17 million development, is being proposed for HarborTown Place, south of Levis Commons on State Route 25. The apartment complex will feature 69 units along with amenities. Last week, Pete Schwiegeraht of Miller- Valentine Group, project developer, and Don Corley, WSOS housing development coordinator, made a presentation explaining the project and its financing to more than 50 seniors at the Perrysburg Senior Center. The facility, for those 55 years and older, will contain a mix of one and two bedroom units with a full spectrum of amenities, said Mr. Schwiegeraht. “All units will have their own laundry facility, bedrooms will have a walk-in closet and the kitchen will include a breakfast island,” he added. “It is an open floor plan with a very modern look. In addition there will be community amenities including a full time onsite manager, theater, fitness center and business center.” Units will be designed with zero step entrances for wheelchairs and walkers. Hallways are wheelchair accessible, and bathrooms are designed for full wheelchair turnarounds. The developer is applying to the state for housing tax credits–a very competitive process, he said. The program is set up through the federal government section 42 of the IRS code administered by the Ohio Housing Finance Agency. “It is a funding source to develop senior housing and to provide it at an affordable rate,” Mr. Schwiegeraht explained. “It is not a Section 8, it is not HUD housing. There is no rent subsidy. We are simply required to rent-restrict the units and keep them at an affordable level.” The application process includes community outreach and support, based on a point system. “The state wants to see support for developments like this, and we are going to various meetings to reach out for support,” he told the group of seniors. In a recent market study, the developer found that within a three to five mile radius, there are 2,200 households that meet the 55 plus age criteria. And the closest housing similar to GARBAGE COLLECTION Garbage, recycling and yard waste will be collected on regular scheduled days the week of February 18. The Street Division and Office of Litter Prevention and Recycling will be closed on February 18, in observance of Presidents Day. The proposed HarborTown Senior Residence, a three-story, 69-unit apartment complex, would be located in HarborTown, south of Levis Commons on State Route 25. By Deb Buker At its February 5 meeting, Perrysburg City Council unanimously approved a resolution to place a five-year, 0.8 mill transportation levy on the May 7 ballot. If approved by voters, the levy will generate $459,146 annually in property tax revenue offering residents diala-ride and paratransit services. The levy would cost the owner of a $200,000 home less than $50 annually, approximately $4 a month. Law Director Mathew Beredo stated that the ballot language could be submitted by the city or the city can allow the Board of Elections and Secretary of State to draft it. However, the Secretary of State has the final decision on the ballot language, he added. Councilman and chairman of the health, sanitation and public utilities committee, Todd Grayson, said he would like the ballot verbiage to include–“transportation services are for the general public but especially for seniors and the disabled.” The ballot language that will be submitted reads–“An additional tax for the benefit of Perrysburg City for the purpose of public transportation services for the disabled, the elderly, and the general public, at a rate not exceeding zero point (0.8) mills for each one dollar of valuation, which amounts to the proposed HarborTown Senior Residence is in Whitehouse, Sylvania and Lake Township. “So if you need a housing unit like this to help you simplify your lifestyle, a unit that meets your mobility needs and at an affordable rent, you would have to move to one of those communities,” Mr. Schwiegeraht told the seniors. “But we want to bring it here. It is a for-profit development and we are going to pay taxes just like any other development. It is simply a way to allow folks to stay independent longer.” The residence also will provide support services through WSOS Community Action. “They will serve as our service coordinator,” added eight cents ($0.08) for each one hundred dollars of valuation, for five years, commencing in 2013 and first due in calendar year 2014.” Councilman Grayson also stated that he would like to continue services with the Ride Right Company, “because they did a great job and they want to do it.” He added the Perrysburg4Transit committee would make a recommendation regarding transit schedules and fees. 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 Perrysburg municipal court candidates may run in partisan races For nearly 50 years, candidates for Perrysburg Municipal Court have run for office without declaring a Republican or Democratic party affiliation. But the Wood County Board of Elections is considering a change of procedure for the race. If that decision is made, a primary election in May will narrow the field of candidates. Board of Elections members were scheduled to meet this morning, February 13, to make the decision and approve petitions of candidates in the race. Debbie Hazard, director of the Wood County Board of Elections, said the question was raised as to why Bowling Green Municipal Court judicial races are partisan, but the Perrysburg court’s are not. “Historically, Perrysburg has run non-partisan,” she said. The Board of Elections maintains Perrysburg court the developer. “We will be coordinating curb-to-curb transportation services, inhome meals program, provide light housekeeping for those in need and establishing a whole program of activities for residents. “So we certainly think it is going to be a great environment. It is going to allow seniors to stay independent longer. And, we are very excited about being part of the community.” Mr. Corley told the group that WSOS will work directly with the Wood County Committee on Aging to coordinate services. “Our job at WSOS is to have someone on site an average of four or five hours each week to help people with particular needs issues presented by the levy, along with confusion on the ballot language. The city funded a “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. HarborTown Senior Residence Council approved a resolution, 4 - 3, to support the application of HarborTown Senior Residence for tax credits through the State of Ohio Housing Finance Agency. (See related story above.) Councilmen Grayson, John Kevern and Mike Olmstead opposed the resolution. The proposed senior apartment residence, 69 units, will be located in HarborTown, south of Levis election records back to the mid-1960s, which indicate that a partisan race has never occurred. When the question was raised, Ms. Hazard said neither the Ohio Revised Code nor the Perrysburg city charter could clarify the matter. It was referred to the Board of Elections board m e m b e r s : R e p u b l i c a n s Mike Marsh and Matt Reger and Democrats Richard Newlove and Mike Zickar. “We’ve never had this situation before,” Ms. Hazard said. Mr. Zickar said the board asked Bowling Green attorney Max Rayle to provide a legal interpretation from the Ohio Revised Code, and he determined that the code “does provide for a partisan primary” in this case. Mr. Zickar agreed, “My reading of the Ohio Revised Code is that if the Republicans want to have a of transportation, nutrition services, medical services, etc. We can match the residents up with the needs that they have,” he said. The one bedroom units are 700 square feet with rent approximately $575, and the two bedroom, 900 square feet, approximately $650. Tenants are responsible for electrical, cable and telephone. The complex has parking and will allow pets up to 40 pounds. The application for financing is due the end of the month and notification is in July. If approved, construction would begin in the fall with completion December 2014. For additional information, visit the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ Harbortownapts.

Tim Gruber of Ridge Stone Builders and Harbor- Town along with Pete Schwiegeraht, of Miller- Valentine, project developer, gave a presentation prior to the council meeting, at a planning and zoning committee meeting. Mr. Gruber stated approval has already been received for this type of project under the city’s UVO (urban village overlay). The UVO allows for the mixing of compatible land uses such as commercial, personal services and housing. It also requires similar aesthetics as the surroundings. He added the project has gone through the architectural review committee (ARC) process and the plans have been approved.

Three Republican candidates filed last week: C. Drew Griffith, magistrate of the Northwood mayor’s court; and Aram Ohanian and Molly Mack, both Wood County assistant prosecutors. John Spore and Tom Mackin also took out petitions but did not file. Incumbent Judge S. Dwight Osterud announced in December that he is not seeking re-election. The board’s decision will not affect the November ballot because judicial candidates in Ohio never declare a party affiliation in the general election, according to Ms. Hazard. Individuals still can run for the office as independent candidates, and their deadline to file is May 6. Perrysburg Twp. trustees review first yearly report on SWAT By Deb Buker Currently, Perrysburg’s all-day kindergarten (ADK) program serves 174 students in seven classrooms–one unit at Frank School and two units each at Fort Meigs, Toth and Woodland schools. The average class size is 25 students, said Superintendent Tom Hosler last week at the Perrysburg Board of Education work session. He also stated that the half-day kindergarten program serves 144 students– two units at Frank and Toth schools and one unit each at Fort Meigs and Woodland schools. At this time, 55 percent of kindergarten students are in the ADK program. The parent fee is $285 a month. Parents recently questioned why there continues be a fee for the all day program. “The fee is calculated to cover the cost of the teachers for the second half of the kindergarten day, which is not funded by the state,” explained Mr. Hosler. “Ohio school districts receive half of the per-pupil allocation for kindergarten students regardless of if they are in the all-day or half-day program. Perrysburg receives approximately $1,600 for a full-time student in grades one through 12 and $800 for each kindergarten student, regardless if the student is full or half time.” Three years ago, the By Jane Maiolo At the February 6 meeting, the Perrysburg Township Board of Trustees reviewed the operations of the Northern Regional SWAT, which was formed in June 2012. Township Officer Joe Ball, a SWAT commander, said the team responded to calls on three occasions. Last July, the team assisted in a high-risk warrant incident on Bates Road. “The operation was successful and agents obtained the information they were in search of,” he said. Later that month the team responded to a homicide in Perrysburg Heights in which two suspects were hidden in a home on Broad and Harold streets. And in October, the team responded to an apartment complex in Lake Township where a gunman had shot multiple victims. SWAT members successfully stopped the gunman, said Officer Ball. In addition to responding to incidents, the team continues to improve itself with proficiency training. “We have covered marksmanship, individual operator tactics, team tactics and philosophy, high risk warrant operations, barricade operations and an introduction to hostage rescue,” he said. “Officers also have been trained in the deployment of less lethal munitions and noise flash diversionary devices.” The team has established several goals for 2013 including additional training time and building relationships with neighboring SWAT units to share training events. Officer Ball said the group hopes to increase ammunition acquisition to better train operators on firearm usage and wants to send select team members to attend less lethal munitions training where they can earn certification and provide the group with a certified instructor. Other goals for 2013 include obtaining night vision gear, acquiring reload kits for less lethal launchers, training a tactical medic team, training and equipping the sniper team, getting tourniquets for operators, and completely outfitting a recently acquired Humvee for tactical use. Ohio Department of Education attempted to require all districts to either offer free ADK or not at all, said Mr. Hosler. However, that attempt was blocked in 2011 with legislation introduced by Senator Randy Gardner. The superintendent also explained that the recent levy passed by Perrysburg voters did not include funding for ADK. “Though the board values the benefits of all day kindergarten, there was significant pressure during the levy process to keep costs to a minimum and to focus on maintaining current programs,” he added. If ADK was available at no fee for all students, an estimated three teachers would need to be added, and it would require three “The Tracy Road National Guard armory is fixing up the vehicle and making it operational,” he said. Team members will continue to give demonstrations and provide presentations to groups and organizations. The officer acknowledged that the team faces challenges acquiring items at a time when community budgets are strained. “We certainly understand the challenges of tight budgets and high overtime costs and will continue to be diligent and creative in the way that we run the team as to not put a burden on the taxpayer dollar,” he said. “We do, however, encourage each of you to be flexible and proactive in the continuing search for funds to better equip and train our operators so they may be as prepared and safe as possible.” Officer Ball concluded by telling the trustees that in May, the Northern Regional SWAT will serve as host of the Ohio Tactical Officers Association annual conference to be held at Owens Community College. “This is an opportunity to showcase our team and show rented or portable classrooms along with desks and supplies. “Though many half-day kindergarten students would benefit if they could be offered full-day kindergarten at no cost to parents, the cost to house and staff the ADK program for 3 percent of the student population is a disproportionate cost that cannot be borne at this time.” Other Business In other business, the board: •Approved Brooke Schulte as a homebound tutor at a rate of $27.72 an hour. •Authorized the following supplemental contracts: Cori Plocek, junior high Jacket Academic Club III, $1,120; Maura Meyers and Kelly McMillan, junior high support for the tactical law enforcement community,” he said, adding, “It’s a big event, and I’m really excited about it.” The trustees expressed appreciation to Officer Ball and the SWAT team. “Thank you for your time and commitment,” said Trustee Craig LaHote. “The guys are excited to have this as part of their careers,” responded Officer Ball. “They’re really good people.” Other Business In other business, the trustees: •Approved the purchase of two new police cruisers from Charlie’s Dodge at a cost of $47,094.

This preliminary report shows Perrysburg schools would receive a 25 percent increase in state funding over last year, which would amount to an overall increase in the district’s $40 million budget of about 4 percent. Under this budget, in 2014 about 65 percent of districts (396 of 612) in the state would receive no increase, and about 5 percent (37), including Perrysburg, would receive a 25 percent increase. “At this point, no one is clear on how these numbers were determined,” said Superintendent Tom Hosler. “This is just the start of the budget process - the Senate and House still need to weigh in. The plan probably will not be finalized until May or June. “It would be premature to use this information and determine what this means to Perrysburg Schools or any other school district in the state. With the obvious disparities between the districts, it’s clear that this will be a long process and what we are seeing today will not be what eventually comes to pass.” Jacket Academic Club IV, $560; Cynthia Blubaugh, junior high drama production, $3,734, and Alyssa Horn, junior high assistant drama production. •Approved Kurt Wicklund as a substitute teacher. •Approved a leave of absence for Dale Frost until June 30. •Approved the following classified substitutes: Carol Panzero and Colleen Conner •Recognized high school competitive cheer as an indoor sport for the 2012-13 school year with Karen Kinzig, Margaret Milne and Lakin Finnegan as advisors.

New senior rental housing development proposed at HarborTown Place<br />

By Deb Buker<br />

HarborTown Senior Residence,<br />

a $15 to $17 million<br />

development, is being proposed<br />

for HarborTown<br />

Place, south <strong>of</strong> Levis Commons<br />

on State Route 25.<br />

The apartment complex will<br />

feature 69 units along with<br />

amenities.<br />

Last week, Pete<br />

Schwiegeraht <strong>of</strong> Miller-<br />

Valentine Group, project<br />

developer, and Don Corley,<br />

WSOS housing development<br />

coordinator, made a<br />

presentation explaining <strong>the</strong><br />

project and its financing to<br />

more than 50 seniors at <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> Senior Center.<br />

The facility, for those 55<br />

years and older, will contain<br />

a mix <strong>of</strong> one and two bedroom<br />

units with a full spectrum<br />

<strong>of</strong> amenities, said Mr.<br />

Schwiegeraht.<br />

“All units will have <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

own laundry facility, bedrooms<br />

will have a walk-in<br />

closet and <strong>the</strong> kitchen will<br />

include a breakfast island,”<br />

he added. “It is an open<br />

floor plan with a very modern<br />

look. In addition <strong>the</strong>re<br />

will be community amenities<br />

including a full time onsite<br />

manager, <strong>the</strong>ater, fitness<br />

center and business center.”<br />

Units will be designed<br />

with zero step entrances for<br />

wheelchairs and walkers.<br />

Hallways are wheelchair<br />

accessible, and bathrooms<br />

are designed for full wheelchair<br />

turnarounds.<br />

The developer is applying<br />

to <strong>the</strong> state for housing<br />

tax credits–a very competitive<br />

process, he said. The<br />

program is set up through<br />

<strong>the</strong> federal government section<br />

42 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> IRS code<br />

administered by <strong>the</strong> Ohio<br />

Housing Finance Agency.<br />

“It is a funding source to<br />

develop senior housing and<br />

to provide it at an affordable<br />

rate,” Mr. Schwiegeraht<br />

explained. “It is not a Section<br />

8, it is not HUD housing.<br />

There is no rent subsidy.<br />

We are simply required<br />

to rent-restrict <strong>the</strong> units and<br />

keep <strong>the</strong>m at an affordable<br />

level.”<br />

The application process<br />

includes community outreach<br />

and support, based on<br />

a point system.<br />

“The state wants to see<br />

support for developments<br />

like this, and we are going<br />

to various meetings to reach<br />

out for support,” he told <strong>the</strong><br />

group <strong>of</strong> seniors.<br />

In a recent market study,<br />

<strong>the</strong> developer found that<br />

within a three to five mile<br />

radius, <strong>the</strong>re are 2,200<br />

households that meet <strong>the</strong> 55<br />

plus age criteria. And <strong>the</strong><br />

closest housing similar to<br />

HarborTown, south <strong>of</strong> Levis Commons on State Route 25.<br />

By Deb Buker<br />

At its <strong>February</strong> 5 meeting,<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> City Council<br />

unanimously approved a resolution<br />

to place a five-year,<br />

0.8 mill transportation levy<br />

on <strong>the</strong> May 7 ballot.<br />

If approved by voters, <strong>the</strong><br />

levy will generate $459,146<br />

annually in property tax revenue<br />

<strong>of</strong>fering residents diala-ride<br />

and paratransit services.<br />

The levy would cost<br />

<strong>the</strong> owner <strong>of</strong> a $200,000<br />

home less than $50 annually,<br />

approximately $4 a month.<br />

Law Director Ma<strong>the</strong>w<br />

Beredo stated that <strong>the</strong> ballot<br />

language could be submitted<br />

by <strong>the</strong> city or <strong>the</strong> city can<br />

allow <strong>the</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Elections<br />

and Secretary <strong>of</strong> State to<br />

draft it. However, <strong>the</strong> Secretary<br />

<strong>of</strong> State has <strong>the</strong> final<br />

decision on <strong>the</strong> ballot language,<br />

he added.<br />

Councilman and chairman<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> health, sanitation<br />

and public utilities committee,<br />

Todd Grayson, said he<br />

would like <strong>the</strong> ballot verbiage<br />

to include–“transportation<br />

services are for <strong>the</strong> general<br />

public but especially for<br />

seniors and <strong>the</strong> disabled.”<br />

The ballot language that<br />

will be submitted reads–“An<br />

additional tax for <strong>the</strong> benefit<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong> City for <strong>the</strong><br />

purpose <strong>of</strong> public transportation<br />

services for <strong>the</strong> disabled,<br />

<strong>the</strong> elderly, and <strong>the</strong><br />

general public, at a rate not<br />

exceeding zero point (0.8)<br />

mills for each one dollar <strong>of</strong><br />

valuation, which amounts to<br />

<strong>the</strong> proposed HarborTown<br />

Senior Residence is in<br />

Whitehouse, Sylvania and<br />

Lake Township.<br />

“So if you need a housing<br />

unit like this to help you<br />

simplify your lifestyle, a<br />

unit that meets your mobility<br />

needs and at an affordable<br />

rent, you would have to<br />

move to one <strong>of</strong> those communities,”<br />

Mr.<br />

Schwiegeraht told <strong>the</strong><br />

seniors. “But we want to<br />

bring it here. It is a for-pr<strong>of</strong>it<br />

development and we are<br />

going to pay taxes just like<br />

any o<strong>the</strong>r development. It is<br />

simply a way to allow folks<br />

to stay independent longer.”<br />

The residence also will<br />

provide support services<br />

through WSOS Community<br />

Action.<br />

“They will serve as our<br />

service coordinator,” added<br />

eight cents ($0.08) for each<br />

one hundred dollars <strong>of</strong> valuation,<br />

for five years, commencing<br />

in 20<strong>13</strong> and first<br />

due in calendar year 2014.”<br />

Councilman Grayson also<br />

stated that he would like to<br />

continue services with <strong>the</strong><br />

Ride Right Company,<br />

“because <strong>the</strong>y did a great job<br />

and <strong>the</strong>y want to do it.”<br />

He added <strong>the</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong>4Transit<br />

committee<br />

would make a recommendation<br />

regarding transit schedules<br />

and fees.<br />

In March 2012, <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

voters opted out <strong>of</strong><br />

TARTA (Toledo Area<br />

Regional Transit Authority)<br />

and <strong>the</strong>n in November,<br />

rejected a 1.45-mill transportation<br />

levy to fund a new<br />

city-wide system. The defeat<br />

was by a slim margin–less<br />

than 185 votes–and it is<br />

believed voters did not have<br />

thorough information on <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> municipal court candidates<br />

may run in partisan races<br />

For nearly 50 years, candidates<br />

for <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

Municipal Court have run<br />

for <strong>of</strong>fice without declaring<br />

a Republican or Democratic<br />

party affiliation.<br />

But <strong>the</strong> Wood County<br />

Board <strong>of</strong> Elections is considering<br />

a change <strong>of</strong> procedure<br />

for <strong>the</strong> race.<br />

If that decision is made,<br />

a primary election in May<br />

will narrow <strong>the</strong> field <strong>of</strong><br />

candidates.<br />

Board <strong>of</strong> Elections<br />

members were scheduled to<br />

meet this morning, <strong>February</strong><br />

<strong>13</strong>, to make <strong>the</strong> decision<br />

and approve petitions<br />

<strong>of</strong> candidates in <strong>the</strong> race.<br />

Debbie Hazard, director<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Wood County Board<br />

<strong>of</strong> Elections, said <strong>the</strong> question<br />

was raised as to why<br />

Bowling Green Municipal<br />

Court judicial races are partisan,<br />

but <strong>the</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

court’s are not.<br />

“Historically, <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

has run non-partisan,” she<br />

said.<br />

The Board <strong>of</strong> Elections<br />

maintains <strong>Perrysburg</strong> court<br />

<strong>the</strong> developer. “We will be<br />

coordinating curb-to-curb<br />

transportation services, inhome<br />

meals program, provide<br />

light housekeeping for<br />

those in need and establishing<br />

a whole program <strong>of</strong><br />

activities for residents.<br />

“So we certainly think it<br />

is going to be a great environment.<br />

It is going to allow<br />

seniors to stay independent<br />

longer. And, we are very<br />

excited about being part <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> community.”<br />

Mr. Corley told <strong>the</strong><br />

group that WSOS will work<br />

directly with <strong>the</strong> Wood<br />

County Committee on<br />

Aging to coordinate services.<br />

“Our job at WSOS is to<br />

have someone on site an<br />

average <strong>of</strong> four or five<br />

hours each week to help<br />

people with particular needs<br />

issues presented by <strong>the</strong> levy,<br />

along with confusion on <strong>the</strong><br />

ballot language. The city<br />

funded a “gap” service from<br />

September 23, when TARTA<br />

ended service, until November<br />

27. The service was provided<br />

by Ride Right. Since<br />

that time, <strong>the</strong>re has been no<br />

public transportation service<br />

available within <strong>the</strong> city.<br />

4 - 3, to support <strong>the</strong><br />

application <strong>of</strong> HarborTown<br />

Senior Residence for tax<br />

credits through <strong>the</strong> State <strong>of</strong><br />

Ohio Housing Finance<br />

Agency. (See related story<br />

Grayson, John Kevern and<br />

Mike Olmstead opposed <strong>the</strong><br />

resolution.<br />

units, will be located in HarborTown,<br />

south <strong>of</strong> Levis<br />

mid-1960s, which indicate<br />

that a partisan race has<br />

When <strong>the</strong> question was<br />

raised, Ms. Hazard said nei<strong>the</strong>r<br />

Mr. Zickar said <strong>the</strong><br />

board asked Bowling Green<br />

attorney Max Rayle to provide<br />

a legal interpretation<br />

from <strong>the</strong> Ohio Revised<br />

Code, and he determined<br />

that <strong>the</strong> code “does provide<br />

for a partisan primary” in<br />

this case.<br />

Mr. Zickar agreed, “My<br />

reading <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ohio<br />

Revised Code is that if <strong>the</strong><br />

Republicans want to have a<br />

<strong>of</strong> transportation, nutrition<br />

services, medical services,<br />

etc. We can match <strong>the</strong> residents<br />

up with <strong>the</strong> needs that<br />

<strong>the</strong>y have,” he said.<br />

The one bedroom units<br />

are 700 square feet with rent<br />

approximately $575, and <strong>the</strong><br />

two bedroom, 900 square<br />

feet, approximately $650.<br />

Tenants are responsible for<br />

electrical, cable and telephone.<br />

The complex has<br />

parking and will allow pets<br />

up to 40 pounds.<br />

The application for<br />

financing is due <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> month and notification<br />

is in July. If approved, construction<br />

would begin in <strong>the</strong><br />

fall with completion<br />

December 2014.<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> Twp. trustees review first yearly report on SWAT<br />

By Deb Buker<br />

Currently, <strong>Perrysburg</strong>’s<br />

all-day kindergarten (ADK)<br />

program serves 174 students<br />

in seven classrooms–one<br />

unit at Frank School and<br />

two units each at Fort<br />

Meigs, Toth and Woodland<br />

schools. The average class<br />

size is 25 students, said<br />

Superintendent Tom Hosler<br />

last week at <strong>the</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

Board <strong>of</strong> Education work<br />

session.<br />

He also stated that <strong>the</strong><br />

half-day kindergarten program<br />

serves 144 students–<br />

two units at Frank and Toth<br />

schools and one unit each at<br />

Fort Meigs and Woodland<br />

schools.<br />

At this time, 55 percent<br />

<strong>of</strong> kindergarten students are<br />

in <strong>the</strong> ADK program. The<br />

parent fee is $285 a month.<br />

Parents recently questioned<br />

why <strong>the</strong>re continues be a fee<br />

for <strong>the</strong> all day program.<br />

“The fee is calculated to<br />

cover <strong>the</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> teachers<br />

for <strong>the</strong> second half <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> kindergarten day, which<br />

is not funded by <strong>the</strong> state,”<br />

explained Mr. Hosler.<br />

“Ohio school districts<br />

receive half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> per-pupil<br />

allocation for kindergarten<br />

students regardless <strong>of</strong> if<br />

<strong>the</strong>y are in <strong>the</strong> all-day or<br />

half-day program. <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

receives approximately<br />

$1,600 for a full-time student<br />

in grades one through<br />

12 and $800 for each<br />

kindergarten student,<br />

regardless if <strong>the</strong> student is<br />

full or half time.”<br />

Three years ago, <strong>the</strong><br />

By Jane Maiolo<br />

At <strong>the</strong> <strong>February</strong> 6 meeting,<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong> Township<br />

Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees reviewed<br />

<strong>the</strong> operations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nor<strong>the</strong>rn<br />

Regional SWAT, which<br />

was formed in June 2012.<br />

Township Officer Joe<br />

Ball, a SWAT commander,<br />

said <strong>the</strong> team responded to<br />

calls on three occasions.<br />

Last July, <strong>the</strong> team assisted<br />

in a high-risk warrant<br />

incident on Bates Road. “The<br />

operation was successful and<br />

agents obtained <strong>the</strong> information<br />

<strong>the</strong>y were in search <strong>of</strong>,”<br />

he said.<br />

Later that month <strong>the</strong> team<br />

responded to a homicide in<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> Heights in which<br />

two suspects were hidden in<br />

a home on Broad and Harold<br />

streets. And in October, <strong>the</strong><br />

team responded to an apartment<br />

complex in Lake Township<br />

where a gunman had<br />

shot multiple victims.<br />

SWAT members successfully<br />

stopped <strong>the</strong> gunman,<br />

said Officer Ball.<br />

In addition to responding<br />

to incidents, <strong>the</strong> team continues<br />

to improve itself with<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>iciency training.<br />

“We have covered marksmanship,<br />

individual operator<br />

tactics, team tactics and philosophy,<br />

high risk warrant<br />

operations, barricade operations<br />

and an introduction to<br />

hostage rescue,” he said.<br />

“Officers also have been<br />

trained in <strong>the</strong> deployment <strong>of</strong><br />

less lethal munitions and<br />

noise flash diversionary<br />

devices.”<br />

The team has established<br />

several goals for 20<strong>13</strong><br />

including additional training<br />

time and building relationships<br />

with neighboring<br />

SWAT units to share training<br />

events.<br />

Officer Ball said <strong>the</strong><br />

group hopes to increase<br />

ammunition acquisition to<br />

better train operators on<br />

firearm usage and wants to<br />

send select team members to<br />

attend less lethal munitions<br />

training where <strong>the</strong>y can earn<br />

certification and provide <strong>the</strong><br />

group with a certified<br />

instructor.<br />

O<strong>the</strong>r goals for 20<strong>13</strong><br />

include obtaining night<br />

vision gear, acquiring reload<br />

kits for less lethal launchers,<br />

training a tactical medic<br />

team, training and equipping<br />

<strong>the</strong> sniper team, getting<br />

tourniquets for operators, and<br />

completely outfitting a<br />

recently acquired Humvee<br />

for tactical use.<br />

Ohio Department <strong>of</strong> Education<br />

attempted to require all<br />

districts to ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong>fer free<br />

ADK or not at all, said Mr.<br />

Hosler. However, that<br />

attempt was blocked in<br />

2011 with legislation introduced<br />

by Senator Randy<br />

Gardner.<br />

The superintendent also<br />

explained that <strong>the</strong> recent<br />

levy passed by <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

voters did not include funding<br />

for ADK.<br />

“Though <strong>the</strong> board values<br />

<strong>the</strong> benefits <strong>of</strong> all day<br />

kindergarten, <strong>the</strong>re was significant<br />

pressure during <strong>the</strong><br />

levy process to keep costs to<br />

a minimum and to focus on<br />

maintaining current programs,”<br />

he added.<br />

If ADK was available at<br />

no fee for all students, an<br />

estimated three teachers<br />

would need to be added,<br />

and it would require three<br />

“The Tracy Road National<br />

Guard armory is fixing up<br />

<strong>the</strong> vehicle and making it<br />

operational,” he said.<br />

Team members will continue<br />

to give demonstrations<br />

and provide presentations to<br />

groups and organizations.<br />

The <strong>of</strong>ficer acknowledged<br />

that <strong>the</strong> team faces challenges<br />

acquiring items at a<br />

time when community budgets<br />

are strained.<br />

“We certainly understand<br />

<strong>the</strong> challenges <strong>of</strong> tight budgets<br />

and high overtime costs<br />

and will continue to be diligent<br />

and creative in <strong>the</strong> way<br />

that we run <strong>the</strong> team as to not<br />

put a burden on <strong>the</strong> taxpayer<br />

dollar,” he said.<br />

“We do, however, encourage<br />

each <strong>of</strong> you to be flexible<br />

and proactive in <strong>the</strong> continuing<br />

search for funds to better<br />

equip and train our operators<br />

so <strong>the</strong>y may be as prepared<br />

and safe as possible.”<br />

Officer Ball concluded by<br />

telling <strong>the</strong> trustees that in<br />

May, <strong>the</strong> Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Regional<br />

SWAT will serve as host <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Ohio Tactical Officers<br />

Association annual conference<br />

to be held at Owens<br />

Community College.<br />

“This is an opportunity to<br />

showcase our team and show<br />

rented or portable classrooms<br />

along with desks and<br />

supplies.<br />

“Though many half-day<br />

kindergarten students would<br />

benefit if <strong>the</strong>y could be<br />

<strong>of</strong>fered full-day kindergarten<br />

at no cost to parents,<br />

<strong>the</strong> cost to house and staff<br />

<strong>the</strong> ADK program for 3 percent<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> student population<br />

is a disproportionate<br />

cost that cannot be borne at<br />

this time.”<br />

•Approved Brooke<br />

said, adding, “It’s a big<br />

event, and I’m really excited<br />

about it.”<br />

The trustees expressed<br />

appreciation to Officer Ball<br />

and <strong>the</strong> SWAT team. “Thank<br />

you for your time and commitment,”<br />

said Trustee Craig<br />

LaHote.<br />

“The guys are excited to<br />

have this as part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

Ball. “They’re really good<br />

people.”<br />

O<strong>the</strong>r Business<br />

•Approved <strong>the</strong> purchase<br />

<strong>of</strong> two new police cruisers<br />

from Charlie’s Dodge at a<br />

School Funding Update<br />

Ohio Governor John Kasich released spreadsheets detailing preliminary<br />

estimates <strong>of</strong> his proposed budget’s impact on school districts last week. This<br />

preliminary report shows <strong>Perrysburg</strong> schools would receive a 25 percent<br />

increase in state funding over last year, which would amount to an overall<br />

increase in <strong>the</strong> district’s $40 million budget <strong>of</strong> about 4 percent.<br />

Under this budget, in 2014 about 65 percent <strong>of</strong> districts (396 <strong>of</strong> 612) in <strong>the</strong><br />

state would receive no increase, and about 5 percent (37), including <strong>Perrysburg</strong>,<br />

would receive a 25 percent increase.<br />

“At this point, no one is clear on how <strong>the</strong>se numbers were determined,” said<br />

Superintendent Tom Hosler. “This is just <strong>the</strong> start <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> budget process - <strong>the</strong><br />

Senate and House still need to weigh in. The plan probably will not be finalized<br />

until May or June.<br />

“It would be premature to use this information and determine what this<br />

means to <strong>Perrysburg</strong> Schools or any o<strong>the</strong>r school district in <strong>the</strong> state. With <strong>the</strong><br />

obvious disparities between <strong>the</strong> districts, it’s clear that this will be a long<br />

process and what we are seeing today will not be what eventually comes to<br />

pass.”<br />

“And I think that is <strong>the</strong><br />

key here. We have an affordability<br />

component where you<br />

can provide this quality at an<br />

affordable rent–a reasonable<br />

rent.<br />

“I don’t disagree that<br />

<strong>the</strong>re is a lot <strong>of</strong> senior activity<br />

going on in town, but we<br />

are something that is not here<br />

yet. This has been a work in<br />

progress with Miller Valentine,<br />

WSOS and Tim Gruber<br />

for three years.”<br />

Mr. Gruber noted with<br />

senior housing and apartments<br />

that “everyone wants<br />

to get in this game–it is <strong>the</strong><br />

only game in <strong>the</strong> country<br />

right now. That is <strong>the</strong> only<br />

thing in <strong>the</strong> United States<br />

that is being funded at all.<br />

Residential housing for <strong>the</strong><br />

next five to 10 years is really<br />

tough,” he told council members.<br />

“What we found here in<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> is that if you do it<br />

right, you do it first class,<br />

people in <strong>Perrysburg</strong> will<br />

support <strong>Perrysburg</strong>–<strong>the</strong>y<br />

won’t go anywhere else, <strong>the</strong>y<br />

will stay here. And we see<br />

that everyday.”<br />

Mr. Lawless agreed with<br />

Mr. Gruber that single family<br />

development has slowed<br />

down while apartment and<br />

senior development has<br />

accelerated.<br />

“Unfortunately, we have a<br />

community to fund and we<br />

have services to provide and<br />

if that phenomenon happens,<br />

our income over time will go<br />

down,” he said. “We on<br />

council have to figure out<br />

how to deal with that. There<br />

is absolutely no question<br />

<strong>the</strong>re is a need for apartments<br />

and senior facilities, but we<br />

also have to fund <strong>the</strong> city. We<br />

have people paying taxes to<br />

fund <strong>the</strong> services.<br />

“I would be opposed to<br />

this project if it weren’t for<br />

<strong>the</strong>se two companies.”<br />

The developer did state<br />

<strong>the</strong>y are a tax paying entity.<br />

Councilor Grayson said it<br />

seems to be very nicely done<br />

community, but again questioned,<br />

“where is <strong>the</strong> money<br />

coming from I can’t in good<br />

conscience put this tab on my<br />

kids because in a sense that is<br />

what we are doing. It is a<br />

philosophical thing and any<br />

time a grant comes before us,<br />

whe<strong>the</strong>r it is $50 or $50 million,<br />

I will always make it<br />

known that grant money does<br />

not grow on trees.”<br />

Mr. Schwiegeraht<br />

explained <strong>the</strong> program is set<br />

up through <strong>the</strong> federal government,<br />

section 42 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

IRS code and administered<br />

by <strong>the</strong> state.<br />

“The tax credits give us<br />

<strong>the</strong> ability to build it–build<br />

more equity in, less debt in,<br />

which allows you to take in<br />

smaller rent and still make<br />

for a financial transaction<br />

because <strong>of</strong> that tax credit<br />

involved,” he stated, adding<br />

that it is over a 30-year compliance<br />

period.<br />

Councilman Olmstead<br />

agreed that <strong>the</strong>re is no question<br />

about <strong>the</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

units or <strong>the</strong> overall plan but<br />

doesn’t agree with <strong>the</strong><br />

financing.<br />

LETTER TO THE EDITOR<br />

Dear Editor:<br />

In April, <strong>Perrysburg</strong> is<br />

going to “dumpsters” on<br />

wheels for refuse pickup. We<br />

live in a condo. Most garages<br />

do not have room to store<br />

<strong>the</strong>se. Our “dumpster” will<br />

have to stay outside <strong>the</strong> garage<br />

or on <strong>the</strong> patio.<br />

Public transportation is<br />

necessary. You may not need<br />

it now, but who is to say you<br />

may not need it sometime in<br />

<strong>the</strong> future<br />

Please don’t stumble over<br />

a dollar to pick up a penny.<br />

Keep <strong>Perrysburg</strong> <strong>the</strong> wonderful<br />

town it is.<br />

I’ve lived here for almost<br />

50 years and wouldn’t trade it<br />

for anyplace else in <strong>the</strong><br />

world.<br />

“I found mine at The Waterford in <strong>Perrysburg</strong>...”<br />

(apartment, that is!)<br />

Some driveways service<br />

eight condos so on refuse days<br />

<strong>the</strong>re could be 8 to 16 “dumpsters”<br />

in one driveway. This<br />

will be nice on snow or lawn<br />

days.<br />

There should have been<br />

OPEN LETTER<br />

Citizens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong>:<br />

Have you looked at your<br />

current real estate tax bill If<br />

you have, you can<br />

W<br />

see that <strong>the</strong><br />

amount for TARTA has been<br />

eliminated. With that amount<br />

no longer being withheld,<br />

how can you possibly vote<br />

against a levy <strong>of</strong> lesser<br />

amount for transportation<br />

Don’t think <strong>of</strong> it as ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />

tax. It is not ano<strong>the</strong>r tax.<br />

It is a replacement <strong>of</strong> a lesser<br />

amount.<br />

and that’s not all. I’ve found<br />

a new freedom. We’ve both<br />

found out a big secret -<br />

retirement is downright fun<br />

when you live at<br />

include all two-year colleges.<br />

To date, more than one<br />

million individuals have<br />

been inducted into <strong>the</strong> international<br />

honor society.<br />

The overall mission <strong>of</strong><br />

Phi Theta Kappa is to recognize<br />

academic excellence<br />

among two-year college students,<br />

provide opportunities<br />

for leadership training and<br />

an intellectual climate for<br />

<strong>the</strong> exchange <strong>of</strong> ideas and<br />

ideals. In addition, <strong>the</strong> society<br />

continues to promote<br />

among its members <strong>the</strong> four<br />

standard hallmarks: scholarship,<br />

leadership, service and<br />

fellowship.<br />

Selection criteria for students<br />

receiving <strong>the</strong> honor<br />

are based upon enrollment<br />

in a two-year college, completion<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> minimum<br />

number <strong>of</strong> course hours set<br />

forth by <strong>the</strong> individual chapter,<br />

achieving a minimum<br />

3.5 grade point average and<br />

exemplifying academic excellence,<br />

as determined by<br />

faculty.<br />

participated in <strong>the</strong><br />

nationwide Give Kids A<br />

The dental hygiene program,<br />

was among thousands <strong>of</strong> organizations<br />

that provided free<br />

dental services and educational<br />

“It’s a lot <strong>of</strong> fun to help<br />

children who are in need <strong>of</strong><br />

help,” said dental hygiene<br />

Genoa, who intends on pursuing<br />

a career as a dental hygienist<br />

after graduating from<br />

Owens and obtaining her<br />

bachelor’s degree in dental<br />

hygiene. “Give Kids A Smile<br />

Day provides a great opportunity<br />

to share what we have<br />

learned and to give back.”<br />

A national initiative by <strong>the</strong><br />

American Dental Association,<br />

Give Kids A Smile Day<br />

is dedicated to focusing attention<br />

on <strong>the</strong> epidemic <strong>of</strong><br />

untreated oral disease among<br />

disadvantaged children.<br />

Held each <strong>February</strong> in<br />

conjunction with National<br />

Children’s Dental Health<br />

Month, Give Kids A Smile<br />

Day provides free oral health<br />

education, screening and<br />

treatment services to children<br />

from low-income families<br />

as well as various interrogation<br />

techniques. Late in <strong>the</strong><br />

day, <strong>the</strong> defendant makes a<br />

statement claiming responsibility<br />

for <strong>the</strong> fire and is subsequently<br />

charged with<br />

For 5-year-old Lea Wauford<br />

<strong>of</strong> Northwood, <strong>the</strong> dental<br />

experience at Owens<br />

resulted in somewhat expected<br />

and unexpected gifts.<br />

“I lost my first tooth<br />

today,” said <strong>the</strong> youngster.<br />

“I’m going to put it under my<br />

pillow for <strong>the</strong> tooth fairy.<br />

They gave me a pink princess<br />

toothbrush. Pink is my favorite<br />

color.”<br />

Education (OCLRE) in 1983,<br />

is a statewide educational<br />

program designed to allow<br />

students to become aware <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>ir constitutional rights and<br />

responsibilities. It provides<br />

students <strong>the</strong> opportunity to<br />

learn firsthand about <strong>the</strong> law,<br />

court procedures and <strong>the</strong> judicial<br />

system while also<br />

building interpretation, critical<br />

thinking and public<br />

speaking skills. Students who<br />

compete in <strong>the</strong> Mock Trial<br />

program come away with a<br />

greater understanding <strong>of</strong> not<br />

only <strong>the</strong> principals our legal<br />

system is founded on but <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>mselves and <strong>the</strong> skills <strong>the</strong>y<br />

possess. Students are recognized<br />

and rewarded for <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

academic and intellectual<br />

achievements.<br />

for free throughout <strong>the</strong> event<br />

included dental education<br />

and screening, X-rays, oral<br />

prophylaxis (cleanings), limited<br />

restorations and dental<br />

sealants.<br />

In addition, Owens students<br />

from <strong>the</strong> health program<br />

provided educational<br />

presentations for parents and<br />

children. Also assisting with<br />

<strong>the</strong> event were School <strong>of</strong><br />

Health Sciences students in<br />

<strong>the</strong> academic areas <strong>of</strong> dental<br />

assisting, massage <strong>the</strong>rapy<br />

technology and medical imaging<br />

technology.<br />

The dental hygiene program<br />

provides more than 40<br />

students with a fully accredited,<br />

scientifically current and<br />

competency-based curriculum<br />

annually. Students receive<br />

classroom instruction<br />

as well as hands-on experience<br />

in <strong>the</strong> clinic, while<br />

preparing to sit for <strong>the</strong> national,<br />

state or regional exam<br />

in dental hygiene.<br />

The program also <strong>of</strong>fers<br />

dental services to area residents<br />

through its Dental Hygiene<br />

Guild, in conjunction<br />

with <strong>the</strong> Maumee Branch <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Lucas County Library<br />

System, will present Peter<br />

Petersen at its 20<strong>13</strong> lecture<br />

series on Thursday, <strong>February</strong><br />

21, at 10 a.m.<br />

Mr. Peterson is a retired<br />

World War II decorated German<br />

Navy submariner who<br />

served on a U-boat and survived<br />

numerous death<br />

charges from <strong>the</strong> United<br />

States’ destroyers.<br />

When his boat surfaced to<br />

abandoned ship in <strong>the</strong> Atlantic,<br />

<strong>the</strong> destroyers were<br />

gliding away over <strong>the</strong> horizon.<br />

He was in luck again<br />

when he was transferred to<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r boat just before it<br />

was lost on its final patrol.<br />

However, after Germany surrendered,<br />

he did become a<br />

prisoner <strong>of</strong> war for a short<br />

time.<br />

After <strong>the</strong> war ended in<br />

1945, he returned to his family<br />

farm and in 1948 met a<br />

young lady from Toledo who<br />

was visiting members <strong>of</strong> her<br />

family on <strong>the</strong> next farm.<br />

Their romance blossomed<br />

and he and Irma Lutz became<br />

engaged. He immigrated to<br />

Toledo where <strong>the</strong>y were married<br />

in 1953 and he found<br />

gainful employment with<br />

United Technologies for 28<br />

years. Mr. Petersen became<br />

an American citizen in 1956.<br />

He will fill in <strong>the</strong> blanks<br />

with more <strong>of</strong> his interesting<br />

story and all <strong>of</strong> his accomplishments<br />

and honors while<br />

living here.<br />

Yellow Jackets get win over Northview, 70-58<br />

By Andy Brungard<br />

The <strong>Perrysburg</strong> High<br />

School boys basketball team<br />

came into <strong>the</strong> game with<br />

Northview after a week <strong>of</strong>f.<br />

Their last game resulted in a<br />

loss to Maumee. Hungry for<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r victory, Northview<br />

was <strong>the</strong>ir next target. The<br />

first quarter proved how<br />

ready <strong>the</strong>y were.<br />

Nick Moschetti scored<br />

<strong>the</strong> first points <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> game<br />

<strong>of</strong>f a spin move into <strong>the</strong><br />

lane.<br />

Matt Kaczinski, on <strong>the</strong><br />

next <strong>of</strong>fensive possession,<br />

sent a lob pass into Shane<br />

Edwards for a layup to make<br />

<strong>the</strong> score 4-0. Edwards<br />

scored nine <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Jackets<br />

first <strong>13</strong> points, and <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

led <strong>13</strong>-2 with three<br />

minutes left in <strong>the</strong> first quarter.<br />

Northview’s Jeff Czerniakowski<br />

hit a deep three and<br />

made a layup on <strong>the</strong> next<br />

Northview possession to<br />

pull within five.<br />

Edwards scored two<br />

more times before <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> quarter, including a<br />

buzzer beater from <strong>the</strong><br />

elbow, to hoist <strong>Perrysburg</strong> to<br />

a 19-10 lead at <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> first.<br />

ball inside to Kaczinski and<br />

Nate Patterson to take a 33-<br />

20 lead into halftime.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

second half, Moschetti made<br />

a jumper from <strong>the</strong> elbow<br />

and Edwards hit a three,<br />

forcing a Northview timeout.<br />

Two minutes into <strong>the</strong><br />

third quarter, Moschetti and<br />

Edwards had combined for<br />

34 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 38 Jacket points,<br />

leading 38-20.<br />

As <strong>the</strong> third quarter<br />

wound down, Edwards<br />

twice grabbed a loose ball<br />

that resulted in a twohanded<br />

slam, bringing <strong>the</strong><br />

crowd to its feet and <strong>the</strong><br />

team to a 20-point lead<br />

headed into <strong>the</strong> fourth quarter.<br />

Economy is steady but cautious, local experts explain<br />

By Beth Church<br />

Economic jitters for<br />

many businesses and consumers<br />

might be able to<br />

settle down somewhat during<br />

20<strong>13</strong>, according to a<br />

panel <strong>of</strong> local banking and<br />

investment experts.<br />

“2012 settled three big<br />

questions about <strong>the</strong> economy,”<br />

explained Chuck<br />

Hoecherl, vice president<br />

<strong>of</strong> treasury management at<br />

First Federal Bank.<br />

The first was <strong>the</strong><br />

Affordable Health Care<br />

A c t – O b a m a c a r e – w a s<br />

ruled to be constitutional<br />

by <strong>the</strong> U.S. Supreme<br />

Court.<br />

The second was President<br />

Obama being reelected<br />

in November,<br />

although along with a<br />

divided legislature.<br />

And third, <strong>the</strong> “fiscal<br />

cliff,” was temporarily<br />

avoided with action by<br />

Congress last month.<br />

Mr. Hoecherl was one<br />

<strong>of</strong> three speakers on a<br />

panel at <strong>the</strong> Technical<br />

Society <strong>of</strong> Toledo’s annual<br />

meeting in January presenting<br />

an economic forecast<br />

for <strong>the</strong> year.<br />

Mr. Hoecherl, who also<br />

is a Monclova Township<br />

Trustee, mentioned several<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r positive aspects <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> economy, such as<br />

377,000 new home sales.<br />

“Interest rates<br />

decreased, and prices went<br />

up in most markets,<br />

including Toledo,” he said.<br />

New auto sales were at<br />

15 million units, he added,<br />

and “that bodes well for<br />

<strong>the</strong> economy and <strong>the</strong> Toledo<br />

area.”<br />

However, retail sales<br />

have remained relatively<br />

flat and consumers are<br />

delaying large purchases,<br />

he said.<br />

Personal income also<br />

was flat between 2011 and<br />

2012, Mr. Hoecherl said.<br />

In addition, <strong>the</strong> unemployment<br />

rate in November<br />

was 7.8 percent, he<br />

noted.<br />

“There were 169,000<br />

new jobs, but every month<br />

150,000 new people come<br />

into <strong>the</strong> workforce,” he<br />

said. “And <strong>the</strong>re’s still<br />

12.5 million unemployed<br />

people–22 million if you<br />

count those who have<br />

given up looking.”<br />

In his own field, Mr.<br />

Hoecherl acknowledged,<br />

“<strong>the</strong> last five years have<br />

been tough in banking.”<br />

2012 net earnings were<br />

<strong>the</strong> best in awhile for<br />

banks, he said.<br />

Bad loans from 2008<br />

through 2010 have been<br />

written <strong>of</strong>f and shed, while<br />

banks have streamlined<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir operations.<br />

“We’re learning to live<br />

lean–as are most <strong>of</strong> you in<br />

your businesses,” he<br />

added.<br />

Increased values in real<br />

estate have allowed banks<br />

to recoup more costs from<br />

foreclosures.<br />

While 2009 saw 140<br />

bank failures and 2010<br />

had 157 failures, by 2011<br />

<strong>the</strong>re were 92 bank failures<br />

and last year only 41.<br />

“The industry as a<br />

whole is getting healthy,”<br />

he said.<br />

Mr. Hoecherl’s bank,<br />

First Federal, saw its stock<br />

value increase 28 percent,<br />

while Fifth Third and<br />

Huntington banks went up<br />

11 percent and KeyBank<br />

rose by 9 percent, he said.<br />

The newest challenge<br />

for banks, he said, is “how<br />

do we grow loans”<br />

“How do we find good<br />

loans when a lot <strong>of</strong> companies<br />

aren’t borrowing”<br />

First Federal currently<br />

has more deposits than<br />

loans and “we’re looking<br />

to put assets to work,” he<br />

said.<br />

Many companies are<br />

leery <strong>of</strong> taking on new<br />

debt, he explained.<br />

“$2 trillion in cash is<br />

sitting in corporate balance<br />

sheets right now,” he<br />

said. “Companies are not<br />

hiring new employees or<br />

buying new equipment.<br />

They are paying down<br />

debt or putting that in <strong>the</strong><br />

bank.”<br />

However, <strong>the</strong> current<br />

low interest rates should<br />

make investment attractive.<br />

He noted that 30-year<br />

fixed rate mortgages carry<br />

a 3.25 percent interest<br />

rate.<br />

“That’s half <strong>of</strong> what it<br />

was 40 years ago,” he<br />

added.<br />

He expects <strong>the</strong> low<br />

interest rates for all loans<br />

to continue for months.<br />

“If you’re a business<br />

thinking about expanding<br />

or building, or buying a<br />

new business or a new<br />

house, it’s a great time to<br />

borrow,” Mr. Hoercherl<br />

said.<br />

As many economic<br />

concerns begin to settle, a<br />

number <strong>of</strong> tax questions<br />

have been confirmed,<br />

according to <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

resident Mike Todak,<br />

CPA, an attorney and president<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Toledo Bar<br />

Association.<br />

“We have some certainty,”<br />

he said, following <strong>the</strong><br />

passage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> American<br />

Taxpayer Relief Act <strong>of</strong><br />

“Guys and Dolls Jr.” will be presented at <strong>Perrysburg</strong> Junior High School<br />

on <strong>February</strong> 28 and March 1, at 7 p.m., and March 2, at 1 p.m. Pictured<br />

Presenting an economic forecast for 20<strong>13</strong> at <strong>the</strong> Technical Society <strong>of</strong> Toledo meeting<br />

were, from left: attorney Mike Todak <strong>of</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong>, president <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Toledo Bar Association;<br />

Chuck Hoecherl, vice president at First Federal Bank, and Phil Bollin, certified financial<br />

planner <strong>of</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong>.<br />

2012.<br />

“The legislation from<br />

my perspective as an<br />

estate planner is very<br />

favorable.”<br />

He explained a number<br />

<strong>of</strong> changes and <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

effects on groups <strong>of</strong> taxpayers.<br />

The “bad news” <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

tax act is that <strong>the</strong> top tax<br />

rate moved from 35 to 40<br />

percent.<br />

He also acknowledged<br />

that <strong>the</strong> two-year holiday<br />

has ended on FICA, so<br />

employees are now paying<br />

2 percent more than last<br />

year.<br />

“The employee portion<br />

was reduced–it was put in<br />

as a stimulus measure–and<br />

your paycheck this month<br />

is less than last month.”<br />

Also, <strong>the</strong> new Medicare<br />

tax “really affects <strong>the</strong><br />

wealthy,” he said, or those<br />

making more than<br />

$200,000 for individual<br />

adjusted gross income or<br />

$250,000 for married couples.<br />

This new 3.8 percent<br />

tax is meant to pay for<br />

health care reform costs,<br />

he said.<br />

Last year’s climate <strong>of</strong><br />

uncertainty also had an<br />

impact on stocks, bonds<br />

and o<strong>the</strong>r investments.<br />

“In 2012, we certainly<br />

saw a lot <strong>of</strong> uncertainty,”<br />

said Phil Bollin, <strong>of</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong>,<br />

a certified financial<br />

planner and owner <strong>of</strong><br />

Bollin Wealth Management,<br />

He predicts that feeling<br />

will remain through 20<strong>13</strong>.<br />

“It’s not going to be for<br />

<strong>the</strong> weak-hearted–<strong>the</strong>re’s a<br />

lot <strong>of</strong> volatility,” said Mr.<br />

Bollin, who also serves as<br />

president <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Technical<br />

Society <strong>of</strong> Toledo.<br />

He quizzed those<br />

attending <strong>the</strong> meeting,<br />

asking what country had<br />

<strong>the</strong> best economy for <strong>the</strong><br />

highest rate <strong>of</strong> return on<br />

investments last year.<br />

The answer was Turkey<br />

at 55.08 percent, and he<br />

noted that <strong>the</strong> United<br />

States was in <strong>the</strong> bottom<br />

half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> list–at 0.06 percent.<br />

“And most returns were<br />

earned in <strong>the</strong> first quarter<br />

<strong>of</strong> 2012,” he added.<br />

Mr. Bollin is concerned<br />

about Congress’ extensive<br />

spending.<br />

“The outlook is not<br />

good for those on a fixed<br />

income with [Congress]<br />

spending money like<br />

drunken sailors,” he said.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> results is<br />

that “bonds are very<br />

expensive because people<br />

are fleeing o<strong>the</strong>r investments.”<br />

He said $300 million<br />

was pulled last year from<br />

<strong>the</strong> stock market, and<br />

$700 billion investment in<br />

bonds.<br />

“We aren’t done resolving<br />

all elements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fiscal<br />

cliff,” Mr. Bollin said.<br />

A second round <strong>of</strong> “fiscal<br />

cliff” negotiations this<br />

spring may mean that<br />

additional tax<br />

brackets–o<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>the</strong><br />

very wealthy–are considered<br />

for tax increases, he<br />

explained.<br />

He also cautioned that<br />

underfunded public pensions<br />

may cause pension<br />

reform changes.<br />

“We’re seeing in California<br />

and Illinois <strong>the</strong>y’re<br />

not contributing enough to<br />

meet <strong>the</strong>ir pension obligations,”<br />

he said.<br />

Although he would not<br />

give recommendations on<br />

selecting stocks, he did<br />

note that <strong>the</strong> REIT health<br />

care company’s stock<br />

price had a dramatic<br />

increase in <strong>the</strong> past four<br />

years.<br />

“And with <strong>the</strong> aging<br />

population <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> country,”<br />

he said, such companies<br />

could be quite successful.<br />

Mr. Bollin also said<br />

JCPenney, Sears and Best<br />

Buy could be a good gamble,<br />

if changes in those<br />

retail companies are successful.<br />

“If <strong>the</strong>y can figure that<br />

out, it could be a nice<br />

turnaround,” he said.<br />

The meeting at <strong>the</strong><br />

Toledo Club also welcomed<br />

members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Toledo Society <strong>of</strong> Pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />

Engineers and <strong>the</strong><br />

American Society <strong>of</strong> Civil<br />

PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL — <strong>February</strong> <strong>13</strong> — Page 9<br />

Rowing–<strong>the</strong> ultimate challenge <strong>of</strong> mind, body and spirit<br />

By Mike Dibling<br />

This is <strong>the</strong> last <strong>of</strong> a threepart<br />

series on high school<br />

rowing in northwest Ohio.<br />

The high school athlete<br />

who is interested in <strong>the</strong> sport<br />

<strong>of</strong> rowing must not only be<br />

willing to learn <strong>the</strong> sport, but<br />

also put in <strong>the</strong> time to<br />

improve individual skills. It<br />

takes a commitment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

athletes’ time, energy and<br />

skill.<br />

A coach in <strong>the</strong> boathouse<br />

once told me, “rowing takes<br />

minutes to learn but a lifetime<br />

to master.” Like all sports, <strong>the</strong><br />

repetition over time leads to<br />

precision.<br />

Precision is learned in<br />

practice. The beginning practices<br />

will guide new rowers<br />

on land prior to setting foot in<br />

a boat.<br />

Taking to <strong>the</strong> water for <strong>the</strong><br />

first time, a new rower must<br />

know <strong>the</strong> boat and his/her<br />

position. Inside <strong>the</strong> boat,<br />

<strong>the</strong>re is a small moveable seat<br />

for each rower. And in front<br />

<strong>of</strong> each seat is a pair <strong>of</strong> shoes.<br />

Unlike a rowing machine, <strong>the</strong><br />

rower’s feet are strapped into<br />

shoes and tied. The shoes are<br />

secured to <strong>the</strong> inside <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

boat to allow for maximum<br />

leg power.<br />

The seat is attached to<br />

rollers which allows a backand-forth<br />

motion. With<br />

secured feet, rowers can comfortably<br />

bend and straighten<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir knees to slide <strong>the</strong> seat<br />

backward and forward for<br />

rowing.<br />

The ultimate goal for a<br />

rower is to synchronize<br />

his/her leg, torso and arm<br />

motions. If a person does not<br />

have upper body strength to<br />

row, he/she should not be<br />

afraid to try. The torso is <strong>the</strong><br />

conduit between <strong>the</strong> lower<br />

and upper body and <strong>the</strong> arms<br />

balance <strong>the</strong> oars and keep <strong>the</strong><br />

continuous motion.<br />

The Toledo Metropolitan<br />

Rowing Club (TMRC), as<br />

well as o<strong>the</strong>r high school<br />

teams, practice after school.<br />

TMRC spring practice<br />

begins at 5 p.m. and continues<br />

for two hours.<br />

A typical practice<br />

includes dry land conditioning<br />

as well as water time in<br />

<strong>the</strong> boat as conditions allow.<br />

The seasonal rower comes<br />

to practice prepared for all<br />

wea<strong>the</strong>r conditions. However,<br />

high school teams follow<br />

strict rules when on <strong>the</strong> water.<br />

All teams follow <strong>the</strong> Toledo<br />

Rowing Club guidelines for<br />

water safety.<br />

The next step in rowing is<br />

competition–<strong>the</strong> regatta.<br />

Most regattas are a oneday<br />

event and take place in<br />

locations including Westerville,<br />

Dublin, Cleveland,<br />

Dayton and Cincinnati.<br />

On regatta day, <strong>the</strong> crew<br />

Downtown <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

(DPI) along with Ed Schmidt<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong> will present <strong>the</strong><br />

annual Winterfest 20<strong>13</strong>, a<br />

National Ice Carving Association<br />

sanctioned event, on<br />

Friday, <strong>February</strong> 22, Saturday,<br />

<strong>February</strong> 23, and Sunday,<br />

<strong>February</strong> 24.<br />

More than two dozen<br />

world champion pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />

and amateur ice carvers will<br />

compete for prize money and<br />

<strong>the</strong>n display <strong>the</strong>ir ice creations.<br />

The amateurs begin at 10<br />

a.m. and compete for three<br />

hours using a single block <strong>of</strong><br />

ice. Each final creation will<br />

be pr<strong>of</strong>essionally judged with<br />

results announced on Saturday<br />

evening during <strong>the</strong> Wine<br />

Tasting event.<br />

Returning pr<strong>of</strong>essional ice<br />

carver, Chad Hartson, owner<br />

<strong>of</strong> Ice Creations <strong>of</strong> Napoleon,<br />

Ohio, will judge this year’s<br />

competition.<br />

Mr. Hartson’s background<br />

is in <strong>the</strong> culinary arts where<br />

he began carving. He is past<br />

president <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> NICA and<br />

takes part locally in a chef’s<br />

association. He <strong>of</strong>ten invites<br />

Owens Community College<br />

students to his shop for a<br />

hands-on experience with<br />

carving.<br />

Mr. Hartson consistently<br />

places in <strong>the</strong> top 10 when<br />

competing in <strong>the</strong> World<br />

Championships <strong>of</strong> Ice Carving<br />

in Fairbanks, Alaska.<br />

“I am so excited to be part<br />

<strong>of</strong> DPI’s Winterfest and <strong>the</strong><br />

ice carving competition portion<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> weekend,” he said.<br />

“I have always wanted a local<br />

competition and am very<br />

pleased as to how this event<br />

has grown over <strong>the</strong> years –<br />

and this year promises to be a<br />

very competitive.”<br />

Ice carvings sponsored by<br />

area businesses and organizations<br />

will line both sides <strong>of</strong><br />

Louisiana Avenue for public<br />

viewing.<br />

“The large ice sculptures<br />

at Winterfest are both a<br />

source <strong>of</strong> income and a major<br />

attraction,” said Rob Brunner,<br />

DPI vice president/treasurer<br />

and Winterfest chairman.<br />

The inside <strong>of</strong> a boat.<br />

launches <strong>the</strong> boat with <strong>the</strong><br />

coxswain as <strong>the</strong> crew guide.<br />

As <strong>the</strong> starter begins <strong>the</strong><br />

race, each crew member<br />

becomes one with <strong>the</strong> boat<br />

and teammates.<br />

Winning is great but more<br />

importantly, each rower and<br />

crew learn from every race<br />

how to cut <strong>the</strong> team’s time.<br />

The regattas test what each<br />

team strives to do–master <strong>the</strong><br />

sport <strong>of</strong> rowing.<br />

After high school rowing,<br />

<strong>the</strong>re are opportunities at <strong>the</strong><br />

collegiate level in varsity<br />

sports and club sports.<br />

TMRC is proud to have<br />

alumni who went on to row at<br />

Ohio State, Case Western,<br />

Ohio University, Miami University<br />

and <strong>the</strong> University <strong>of</strong><br />

Iowa.<br />

Drive, specializes in vitamins, supplements, minerals,<br />

herbs, sports nutrition, diet and energy, and health and<br />

beauty products.<br />

The health store opened its doors 16 years ago by Joyce<br />

Stenberg, who continues to own and operate <strong>the</strong> business<br />

today.<br />

“I have always been interested in <strong>the</strong> health industry,” said<br />

Ms. Stenberg, a former respiratory <strong>the</strong>rapist. “I strive to put<br />

<strong>the</strong> customer first when <strong>the</strong>y come into <strong>the</strong> store. And I always<br />

stay current on health issues and continue to be <strong>the</strong> leading<br />

provider <strong>of</strong> services and information in <strong>the</strong> self care and<br />

personal health market.”<br />

When Mrs. Stenberg first opened GNC, her two children<br />

worked for her. Since that time, her son graduated from <strong>the</strong><br />

University <strong>of</strong> Toledo with an environmental degree, married<br />

and has two children. Ms. Stenberg’s daughter also graduated<br />

from UT with a marketing degree and also is married.<br />

The store owner is a past president <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ability Center,<br />

where she also served on <strong>the</strong> executive board. Mrs. Stenberg<br />

is a life member <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Toledo Day Nursery and currently is<br />

Donations and volunteers needed for project<br />

Blue Skies Quilting making quilts for families in Newtown, Conn.<br />

Blue Skies Quilting<br />

and Gifts is in <strong>the</strong><br />

process <strong>of</strong> making personalized<br />

comfort quilts<br />

for each family who lost<br />

a loved one in <strong>the</strong> Sandy<br />

Hook Elementary School<br />

tragedy in Newtown,<br />

Connecticut.<br />

Theresa Howard,<br />

owner <strong>of</strong> Blue Skies<br />

Quilting, is reaching out<br />

to <strong>the</strong> community for assistance<br />

in completing<br />

<strong>the</strong> 26 quilts.<br />

“Because we do not<br />

have a long-arm quilting<br />

machine, <strong>the</strong> quilting has<br />

to be outsourced which<br />

is approximately $100 for<br />

each quilt,” she said.<br />

“Each quilt will be personalized<br />

with <strong>the</strong> name<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> individuals who<br />

lost <strong>the</strong>ir lives on that<br />

horrible December day.”<br />

Donations are tax deductible,<br />

she added.<br />

“Our mission is to<br />

provide a safe, nurturing<br />

environment for <strong>the</strong> purpose<br />

<strong>of</strong> those struggling<br />

with unusual emotional<br />

or physical hardships,”<br />

said Mrs. Howard.<br />

“In <strong>the</strong> past two years,<br />

most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> quilts have<br />

gone to people locally<br />

and that is our primary<br />

mission. However, <strong>the</strong><br />

Newtown killings were an<br />

extraordinary tragedy<br />

that inspired some <strong>of</strong> us<br />

to get toge<strong>the</strong>r to make<br />

quilts for <strong>the</strong> families.”<br />
