Perrysburg Twp. zoning inspector retires 

Perrysburg Township zoning 

inspector Grant Garn has 

retired, effective December 

31. 

Mr. Garn submitted a letter 

of retirement last week to 

township administrator John 

Hrosko, and the trustees formally 

accepted it at the 

December 12 department head 

meeting. 

The zoning inspector, who 

has been on medical leave, 

began working in the zoning 

department in September 

1999. 

He replaced zoning inspector 

Roger Mericle who had 

resigned. 

During Mr. Garn’s tenure, 

he oversaw many economic 

development projects from 

their inception including: 

2001–Walgreens distribution 

center on State Route 

795, Kohl’s and Lowe’s stores 

on U.S. Route 20, Cedar- 

Creek Church on Lime City 

Road; 

2002–McDonalds, IHOP, 

Fifth Third Bank on Route 20; 

2003-–Arby’s, Coventry 

Woods business complex off 

Simmons Road, Comfort 

Suites, Tuffy store on Route 

Grant Garn 

20; 

2004–W.W. Knight Nature 

Center on White Road 

2005–Penta Career Center 

on Buck Road, Arbors of Perrysburg; 

2006–Walmart on Route 

20; 

2007 FedEx ground shipping 

plant in Ampoint Industrial 

Park; 

2008–New township fire 

station and police department 

addition; 

2010–Chick-Fil-A, and 

2011–O.E. Meyer, Tim 

Horton’s and Chipotle. 

In addition, he has issued 

zoning permits for nearly 

every commercial project 

along the south side of the 

Route 20 corridor east of Oak 

Meadows including Best Buy, 

Office Max, Hobby Lobby 

and two strip centers. He has 

been involved in several business 

expansion projects such 

as First Solar in Cedar Industrial 

Park. 

The zoning inspector also 

handled many residential 

development projects. Among 

them are Woodmont Development 

off Thompson Road 

including Shannon Hills, 

Lakes at Woodmont and Barrington 

Place; Eckel Trace 

subdivision; Tracy Creek 

Apartments; Stone Gate Villas; 

Emerald Lakes, and Hamlet 

Glen. 

The zoning inspector oversaw 

several updates to the 

zoning resolution book during 

his tenure, and although the 

economy took a downturn 

between 2008 and 2010, he 

remained busy, focusing his 

efforts on a comprehensive 

plan for the township. 

Mr. Garn lives in Perrysburg 

with his wife. They have 

four adult children.

Pay based on performance–not years of service 

Perrysburg schools receives grant for alternate compensation reform 

By Deb Buker 

Next year, the Perrysburg 

School District will implement 

an alternate compensation 

system for teachers integrating 

a combination of 

performance, additional 

duties, years of service, 

endorsements and degrees. 

Last week, the district 

was awarded an Ohio 

Department of Education 

grant for alternate compensation 

reform. 

Currently, teachers’ compensation 

is with the traditional 

step and level system 

where pay is based solely on 

years of service and 

advanced degrees. Compensation 

is regularly negotiated 

with the association through 

collective bargaining. 

Superintendent Tom 

Hosler explained that the 

Ohio Revised Code dictates 

how districts compensate 

teachers based on experience 

and education. 

“And we cannot deviate 

from that because it is part 

of the law,” he said. “Then 

when Ohio received Race to 

the Top funds, the Ohio 

Revised Code was amended 

to allow districts who participate 

in Race to the Top to 

come up with an alternate 

compensation plan. It 

opened the door a crack to 

take a look at different ways 

of paying teachers. 

“We now have the opportunity 

to sit down with 

teachers, with members of 

the community, members of 

the board and study how can 

we change this How can 

we begin to take a look at 

coming up with a different 

way to pay teachers and 

have it be based on performance–the 

job that they are 

doing 

“So our challenge is to 

begin to look at how would 

we create an alternative that 

would recognize the job that 

teachers do and compensate 

them accordingly.” 

The district submitted a 

grant proposal in the fall to 

move forward with a new 

compensation system. 

It states, “the system will 

be designed around the district’s 

mission and strategic 

“We are excited about the opportunities this 

project presents to the district. This is our 

chance to devise a sustainable compensation 

system that represents individual accomplishments 

of teachers and one that we hope other 

districts will model. With the committee we 

have put together, along with the grant money 

from the state, we have a very high probability 

of success.” 

–Aura Norris 

Perrysburg Schools executive director 

human resources and operations 

plan and will incorporate 

various methods of rewarding 

those teachers who are 

able to show student growth 

through the use of multiple 

measures. Additionally, to 

reflect one of the district’s 

strategic priorities of fiscal 

responsibility and accountability, 

the plan will be 

designed to be financially 

sustainable.” 

In the grant proposal, 

Aura Norris, district executive 

director of human 

resources and operations, 

stated that the institution of 

education is changing rapidly 

on virtually all fronts. 

“As a school district, we 

acknowledge that resources 

are becoming more and 

more scarce,” she wrote. 

“As a result, taxpayers are 

growing less tolerant of 

compensation plans for educators 

that are not based on 

performance. Seemingly 

automatic increases to educators 

based solely on surviving 

a calendar year or 

earning an advanced degree 

is no longer justifiable in the 

public’s mind. 

“The school district and 

the Perrysburg Education 

Association (PEA) desire to 

create a new compensation 

system that will reward 

quality instruction, attract 

and retain a high-quality faculty, 

and reward educators 

throughout their entire 

career based on performance. 

It also is important 

that the process to develop a 

new plan would be done so 

collaboratively to ensure a 

spirit of cooperation through 

buildings and the district. 

Given the economic realities 

of today, the plan must be

Judge Osterud will not seek re-election in Municipal Court 

After more than two 

decades on the bench, Perrysburg 

Municipal Judge S. 

Dwight Osterud has decided 

he will not seek re-election 

next year. 

The judge announced 

his decision in a statement 

released on Monday. 

The judge began his first 

six-year term at the court in 

1990 and was re-elected 

three more times. 

While overseeing the

Penta BOE approves easement agreement 

By Jane Maiolo 

At the December 12 

meeting, the Penta Career 

Center Board of Education 

approved an easement 

request from the Northwestern 

Water and Sewer 

District. 

Board member Ken Sutter 

of the buildings and 

grounds committee, 

explained that the NSWD 

plans to relocate the Bates 

Road sanitary sewer and 

needs the easement over the 

career center’s property. 

Superintendent Ron 

Matter said the easement 

will be 160 feet wide and 

stretch to a depth of 86 feet 

onto Penta land. 

The district is granting a 

permanent easement on .06 

acres of land at a cost of $1. 

According to the agreement, 

the easement is being 

granted “for the purpose of 

constructing and maintaining 

a waterline and/or 

sewer line.” 

Penta reserves the right 

to fully use the improvement, 

and the NWSD 

agrees to restore the 

acreage to its original state 

following construction.

sustainable now and in the

“The current compensation 

system in Perrysburg 

and many other school districts 

has many inequities. 

It is far from a perfect system. 

It is not currently tied 

to the district’s strategic 

goals, and not designed to 

reward excellent teaching. 

By having an opportunity 

to create a new system, 

educators are being given a 

chance to devise a compensation 

plan that respects 

the individual accomplishments 

of staff members.” 

Ms. Norris also noted

of understanding 

with the Perrysburg Board 

of Education approving the 

scope of work for Race to 

the Top including the 

implementation of a pilot 

performance based compensation 

system for teachers 

beginning in 2013. 

“However, just the mention 

of a new compensation 

pay may bring concern or 

speculation to the forefront,” 

she added. “First 

and foremost, we want to 

reassure teachers that current 

salaries will not be 

reduced as a result of this

The union and administration 

have discussed this

to opt in will account for 

approximately 25 percent 

of the teaching staff participating 

in the pilot year.” 

Ms. Norris believes that 

once veteran staff members 

see the system at work and 

understand how they can 

benefit from it, they will 

want to participate. The 

system also will have the 

capability to include the 

district’s 20 administrators. 

According to Ms. Norris, 

the initial grant request 

was for $325,000. Phase 

one–January through 

March 2013–includes the 

planning, development and 

marketing for the compensation 

plan, $125,000. 

Phase two–2013-14 school 

year–the implementation of 

a pilot program, $200,000. 

As of Monday, the district 

had not been notified 

of the total grant funding. 

Ms. Norris will serve as 

the project director. The 

district is currently forming 

a design committee to 

start immediately on the 

alternate compensation 

plan.

Fire Division, Way Library to present CPR, AED, first aid classes 

The Perrysburg Fire Division 

and Way Library are 

partnering to offer life-saving 

CRP, AED (automatic external 

defibrillator) and first aid 

classes. 

Sponsored by the American 

Heart Association, these 

classes will take place 

throughout 2013, providing 

opportunities for local residents 

to learn life-saving skills 

from certified instructors. 

The American Heart Association’s 

CPR and AED 

learning programs are designed 

to help increase survival 

rates of those stricken 

by cardiac arrest. Fewer than 

one-third of cardiac arrest 

victims get CPR help during 

the critical four to six minute 

period after an incident. Almost 

80 percent of sudden 

cardiac arrests happen in the 

home, and 92 percent of victims 

don’t survive, often because 

people around them do 

not take action and begin 

CPR. 

Classes are limited to 20 

students, and registration is 

required. The following 

classes will be offered in 

2013: 

Family and Friends CPR, 

from 6 to 8 p.m. on January 

16, May 15, July 17, or September 

18. This is a free class, 

but registration at the library 

information desk is required. 

Participants may wish to buy 

a book for $5. This class will 

teach adult hands-only CPR, 

child CPR with breaths, adult 

and child AED use, infant 

CPR, and choking relief for 

all ages. 

Heartsaver CPR AED, 

Fire Division CPR coordinator Amy Allan with Lisa Richard of Way Public Library 

from 6 to 9 p.m. on March 27 

and November 20, cost: $45 

(includes book), payable 

when you register at the library 

information desk. This 

course is designed for anyone 

who needs a course completion 

card in CPR and AED to 

meet job or other requirements. 

Adult CPR and AED 

use and choking relief for 

adults will be taught. The 

course completion card is 

valid for two years. 

Heartsaver First Aid, from 

6 to 9 p.m. on June 19 and 

October 16, cost: $45 (includes 

book), payable upon 

registration at the library. A 

course completion card is offered. 

The student will learn 

skills such as how to treat 

bleeding, sprains, broken 

bones, shock and other first 

aid emergencies. 

CPR and First Aid for 

Babysitters (for 11-15 year 

old students), from 12:30 to 

4:30 p.m. on February 23, 

March 23, June 15, July 20, 

October 5 and November 5; 

cost: $30 (includes course 

manuals, payable only by 

check at the youth services 

information desk). This class 

offers training for those who 

care for infants or children 

and would like to learn basic 

pediatric first aid response. 

For more information on 

any of these classes, call Amy 

Allan of the Perrysburg Fire 

Division at 419-874-8027 or 

send an e-mail to 

aallen@ci.perrysburg.oh.us. 

Secret Service Toledo office 

offers holiday security tips 

Long lines of holiday 

shoppers may be a business 

owner’s dream, but the hustle 

and bustle of the season 

is prime time for counterfeiters 

to prey on both 

cashiers and consumers. 

The United States Secret 

Service recommends shoppers 

make sure they visually 

inspect their currency before 

walking away from 

store registers or bank 

tellers. 

“Now is the time to make 

sure you know your 

money,” said Conrad 

Everett, special agent in 

charge of Secret Service offices 

throughout northern 

Ohio. “Technology has 

made it easier for criminals 

to try to counterfeit U.S. 

currency, so knowing 

what’s real and what’s not 

are important steps consumers 

and businesses can 

take to protect themselves.” 

If a retailer or consumer 

suspects a bill is counterfeit, 

they should compare the bill 

to a note of the same series 

and denomination that is 

known to be genuine. The 

note in question should display 

the proper watermark, 

as well as the proper security 

thread that is consistent 

with that denomination. 

The following resources 

contain valuable information 

on how to detect counterfeit 

notes by identifying 

the security features that are 

embedded within U.S. currency: 

Know Your Money, 

http://www.secretservice.go 

v/know_your_money.shtml 

and www.moneyfactory.gov 

(Bureau of Engraving and 

Printing’s Web site). 

The U.S. Secret Service 

was originally founded in 

1865 for the purpose of suppressing 

the counterfeiting 

of U.S. currency. Over the 

years it has grown into one 

of the premier law enforcement 

organizations charged 

with investigating financial 

crimes. The agency has 

taken a lead role in the 

emerging arena of cybercrime, 

establishing partnerships 

with the public and 

private sectors to address 

such issues as protection of 

critical infrastructure, Internet 

intrusions and associated 

fraud. 

Retailers and consumers 

also need to be mindful of 

criminals attempting to steal 

or use stolen credit cards, 

credit card numbers or store 

gift cards. Retailers should 

continue to actively compare 

credit card signatures 

with photo IDs, and consumers 

should carefully 

scrutinize card transactions 

and card statements to ensure 

their cards are not compromised. 

If you suspect you may 

have a counterfeit bill or 

you may be a possible victim 

of financial fraud, contact 

local police and/or the 

U.S. Secret Service’s Toledo 

Resident Office at 419-259- 

6434. 

Area volunteers prepare for tax season at Way 

Volunteers will once again provide tax preparation assistance 

to area residents at Way Library. 

Area volunteers will provide 

free assistance to taxpayers 

with their 2012 

federal, Ohio, and school district 

income tax returns. This 

service is sponsored by 

AARP and is hosted by Way 

Public Library. All returns are 

filed electronically. 

The volunteers’ mission is 

to provide high-quality, free 

income tax assistance and 

form preparation to low- and 

moderate-income taxpayers, 

with special attention to those 

age 60 and older. AARP 

membership is not required. 

Nationwide, approximately 

36,000 volunteers helped 

more than 2.5 million customers 

last season at more 

than 6,000 sites. Most customers 

had household incomes 

of less than $50,000, 

and over 80 percent were age 

60 or older. 

Area residents are encouraged 

to consider volunteering 

for the 2012 tax season. Previous 

experience with tax 

preparation services is not 

necessary. Volunteers need to 

commit to training in January, 

pass a competency test, and 

are expected to volunteer for 

at least four hours each week 

during the tax season (February 

4 through April 11). Interested 

persons can send an 

e-mail to Gene Palmer at 

gpalmer@bex.net or visit the 

AARP Web site at 

www.aarp.org/taxaide. 

Complex tax issues–including 

depreciation, lengthy 

schedule Ds, casualty losses, 

complex K-1s, farm income, 

employee business expenses 

over $5,000, and military returns–are 

beyond the scope of 

this service. Earned Income 

credits, child tax credits, unemployment 

benefits, child 

and dependent care expenses, 

education credits, IRA contributions, 

capital gains/losses, 

and disability income are all 

within the scope of this service. 

Taxpayers must bring picture 

ID, social security cards 

for all family members, last 

year’s tax return, current W2s 

and 1099 statements, broker 

tax statements plus any additional 

documentation they 

feel is pertinent. 

To make an appointment, 

call the library’s Information 

Desk, starting Monday, January 

28, at 419-874-3135, extension 

119. 

Beginning Monday, February 

4, appointments can be 

scheduled by contacting the 

tax-preparation site (the Way 

Library Computer Lab) at 

419-874-3135, extension 136. 

The site will be open 

Mondays and Wednesdays, 

from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and 

Tuesdays and Thursdays, 

from noon to 4:30 p.m.

Letter to the 

Editor 

Dear Editor: 

I was very disappointed to 

hear that we are switching to 

automated garbage collection. 

In reading the article I found 

lots of numbers, and I like 

math. 

The math indicated that the 

four positions cost $79,500 

each to replace, while the five 

positions retained cost about 

$63,000 each. Now I figure 

that the job of picking the can 

up and putting it in the 

garbage truck should be a $12- 

$15 per hour position. Figuring 

in generous benefits 

translates to no more than 

$45,000 per year. This big 

savings of $79,500 per worker 

was used to justify switching 

the service. 

Also, the article worked 

out that the city was paying 

about $16 per year to rent each 

garbage can and each house 

would be given one can. This 

would be a seven year lease, 

so each can would cost more 

than $100. 

The city says don’t worry, 

put out as much trash as you 

want and we will send a nonautomated 

truck to come get 

it. You will just have to call us 

first. Now that I refuse to believe. 

Lastly, we seem to be an 

affluent city and we certainly 

approved the garbage levy, yet 

we are proud to eliminate four 

jobs. This kind of fuzzy math 

is just garbage.

Governor announces transportation plan 

Ohio Turnpike to remain public, independent 

After more than a year of 

contentious debate regarding 

the future of the Ohio 

Turnpike, officials have proposed 

a solution that may 

satisfy all concerned parties. 

Last year, Ohio Governor 

John Kasich proposed either 

leasing the toll road in an effort 

to raise additional funds 

for Ohio’s infrastructure and 

highway system or shifting 

turnpike control over to the 

Ohio Department of Transportation. 

The governor’s proposal 

met with vehement opposition 

by residents, turnpike 

employees and local government 

officials throughout 

the northern quadrant of 

Ohio. 

The state commissioned 

a $3.5 million study to determine 

the feasibility of the 

proposal or offer other recommendations. 

On December 13, the 

governor, ODOT director 

Jerry Wray and turnpike director 

Rick Hodges unveiled 

a plan to generate approximately 

$3 billion for Ohio 

road construction without 

leasing the toll road or putting 

it in ODOT’s hands. 

The proposal, known as 

the Ohio Jobs and Transportation 

Plan, calls for the 

Ohio Turnpike Commission 

to issue bonds backed by future 

toll revenues. The plan 

would generate $1.5 billion 

in new funds for Ohio highways 

and could result in an 

additional $1.5 billion in 

matching local and federal 

funds. 

“This plan just makes 

sense as we continue Ohio’s 

economic resurgence, grow 

jobs and make our state 

prosperous once again,” said 

Governor Kasich. “Billions 

of dollars in new highway 

funds further strengthen 

Ohio’s jobs-friendly climate 

and keep our state moving 

by delivering more projects 

faster.” 

Mr. Wray believes that 

bonding against future turnpike 

revenue will generate 

enough money to erase the 

Letters to 

the Editor 

policy 

The weekly deadline 

for Letters to the Editor is 

noon on Friday. 

Letters should be limited 

to 300 words. Letters 

from the same writer will 

be accepted no more frequently 

than every 30 

days.

highway budget deficit. 

In recent years ODOT 

has struggled with lower 

revenues, created in part by 

the declining economy. 

Fuel-efficient vehicles also 

resulted in less state motor 

fuel tax revenue. As a result 

ODOT officials were forced 

to push back some of the 

state’s largest transportation 

construction projects. 

“Combined with 

ODOT’s work to reduce our 

cost of doing business and 

improve service to the 

state’s motoring public, this 

plan puts the resources we 

need into our major construction 

budget,” said Mr. 

Wray. 

Mr. Hodges also approves 

of the plan, “Maintaining 

public control and an 

independent turnpike commission 

helps keep tolls low 

and workers on the job.” 

Highlights of the plan include: 

•No long-term, private 

lease; 

•A continued public, independent 

turnpike with expanded 

authority and 

renamed the Ohio Turnpike 

and Infrastructure Commission; 

•More than 90 percent of 

new bond money going directly 

to northern Ohio 

highway projects, including 

the turnpike itself; 

•Rebuilding the Ohio 

Turnpike decades sooner 

than planned; 

•Tolls for local trips paid 

using EZ Pass will be frozen 

for 10 years; 

•Other toll rates to be 

capped at inflation, and 

•No turnpike employee 

layoffs anticipated. 

The Wood County commissioners, 

originally 

among local officials opposed 

to the leasing option, 

expressed approval of the 

new plan. “I am pleased that 

the governor has not proposed 

privatization of the 

turnpike,” said Commissioner 

Tim Brown. 

“The voice of our citizens 

has been heard and 

taken into account, and I 

hope that will continue 

throughout the process,” he 

added. 

The commissioners were 

among many officials 

throughout northern Ohio to 

weigh in on the governor’s 

proposal. Mayors from 

Toledo, Streetsboro, 

Strongsville, Cuyahoga 

Falls, North Ridgeville and 

Cleveland voiced approval. 

Toledo Mayor Mike Bell 

called it a “win-win-win” 

for all parties and noted that 

it will benefit Toledo and its 

residents. 

On the other side of the 

state, Cleveland Mayor 

Frank Jackson agreed. “I 

think it’s a good decision, 

good for Cleveland, good 

for northeastern Ohio.” 

County commissioners 

also spoke in favor of the 

plan. “We appreciate the 

governor’s sensitivity to our 

concerns around truck diversion 

and preserving the 

economic competitiveness 

of our area. This plan makes 

sense for Ohio,” said 

Williams County Commissioner 

Brian Davis. 

To the east Lorain 

County Commissioner Tom 

Williams echoed those comments. 

“I was glad to see 

that the governor listened to 

our feedback and waited before 

making any decision.” 

Commissioner Brown, 

who is leaving Wood 

County at the end of the 

month to begin a four-year 

term as a member of the 

Ohio House, hopes the proposal 

will make its way 

through the legislature and 

looks forward to evaluating 

the legislation once it is introduced. 

“Maintaining and improving 

Ohio’s roads and 

bridges is a primary responsibility 

of the state. Such 

projects can impact public 

safety and the economy, and 

we have an obligation to ensure 

that our infrastructure 

is properly funded and 

maintained,” he said.

Catholic Charities 

collects funds 

for hurricane 

relief efforts 

Catholic Charities of the 

Diocese of Toledo continues 

to collect donations for Hurricane 

Sandy relief efforts. 

The organization has received 

more than $100,000

Area residents create Manor House display honoring Dionne Quintuplets 

Perrysburg residents Louise Brubaker and Julie 

Overy decorated the Cedar Closet in the Manor House at 

Wildwood Park. They are both members of the Toledo 

Mothers Of Twins Club and Ms. Brubaker also is a member 

of the Dionne Quintuplet Collectors Club. 

The display, “A Dionne Quintuplet Christmas” was 

provided by Ms. Brubaker’s personal collection. Two 

other Twins Club members, Joann Miller-Davis and Beverly 

Burzynski, also help with decorating this area. 

The Dionnes are the world’s only set of all identical 

quintuplets in the world and they are now 78 years old. 

Two of them, Cecile and Annette, are still living near 

Montreal, Canada. Emilie died at age 20, Marie at age 36, 

and Yvonne at age 67. Before the quints’ births, their 

mother had given birth to six children, then had the 

quints, which made her a mother of 11 by the age of 25. 

She gave birth to three other children following the 

quints. The family lived in a farm house which had no 

insulation, no electricity and no plumbing.

MESSENGER JOURNAL 

SECOND SECTION 

This is a continuation of 

a series on the City of Perrysburg’s 

departments, 

divisions, offices and 

bureaus. 

The City of Perrysburg 

employs 154 individuals 

plus 60 seasonal employees 

who serve the more 

than 20,000 Perrysburg 

residents. 

Features will give residents 

the opportunity to 

meet city employees and 

learn how each job contributes 

to the “quality of 

life” in the city. 

Department of 

Public Utilities 

By Tim Warren 

Director 

The Perrysburg Department 

of Public Utilities 

(DPU) provides water distribution, 

sewer collection, 

wastewater treatment and 

stormwater management 

for more than 8,700 water 

customers and 9,600 sewer 

customers in the City of 

Perrysburg and surrounding 

area. 

DPU consists of two 

bureaus–the bureau of 

water distribution and 

sewer collection and the 

bureau of wastewater treatment. 

There are currently 

14 employees in the water 

distribution and sewer collection 

bureau at 211 East 

Boundary Street and eight 

employees in the bureau of 

wastewater treatment at 

One West Boundary Street. 

DPU was formed in 

2012 by splitting off the 

Division of Public Utilities 

from the Department of 

Public Service. Increasing 

regulatory requirements, 

rising costs, staying abreast 

of new technologies, 

remaining economically 

competitive and maintaining 

positive relationships 

with neighboring communities 

and stakeholders 

have become more challenging. 

The new structure 

allows DPU to focus on its 

responsibilities and provide 

better service to its 

customers. 

As part of the restructuring, 

water distribution 

and sewer collection were 

combined into a single 

bureau. The combined 

operations provide greater 

opportunities for crosstraining 

and a more versatile 

workforce. This allows 

DPU to address customer 

calls and perform routine 

maintenance more efficiently. 

DPU maintains 97 miles 

of water lines, three elevated 

water storage tanks, 

three underground reservoirs 

and two booster 

pumping stations. The 

water we supply is purchased 

from the City of 

Toledo. The elevated tanks 

and underground reservoirs 

provide four million gallons 

of emergency storage 

capacity. 

A major improvement 

project is currently under 

construction to replace an 

existing elevated tank on 

Fort Meigs Road and build 

a new one on Roachton 

Road to improve fire flow 

capacity. 

DPU maintains 91 miles 

of sanitary sewers, 98 

miles of storm sewers, 12 

wastewater pumping stations 

and a wastewater 

treatment plant. We are 

nearing completion of a 

20-year program to separate 

our combined sewer 

system and a multi-phase 

project to expand the 

capacity of our wastewater 

treatment plant, aimed at 

reducing sewer overflows 

in the Maumee River. We 

also are in the process of 

implementing a stormwater 

management program to 

reduce pollution from 

storm water runoff. 

A typical day for DPU 

staff is spent performing 

maintenance on pumps and 

equipment, monitoring 

pumping stations, 

installing water taps, 

replacing water meters, 

cleaning sewer lines, 

repairing catch basins, 

answering telephone calls 

and responding to customer 

requests, to name a 

few activities. Sometimes, 

our days–or nights–include 

emergencies such as water 

main breaks and sewer 

backups. 

Every day, DPU strives 

to provide good, old-fashioned 

customer service. 

That means having someone 

you can speak to in 

person and arrange an 

appointment with at your 

convenience. 

Our goals are to provide 

reliable service, respond to 

customer requests quickly, 

and have a positive impact 

on the environment. We 

want to help make Perrysburg 

the greatest place to 

live. 

The following employees 

of DPU are proud to 

serve you:

collections operator;

Nancy Fitzpatrick completed 

800 miles as she 

walked into Perrysburg in 

November on her journey 

from Boston, Massachusetts, 

to Newport, Oregon, 

following U.S. Route 20 

across the country. 

Mrs. Fitzpatrick’s journey 

is not a race of time, but 

rather time to reflect on her 

priorities for the next 15 to 

20 years. 

Her journey also is the 

celebration of her 65th 

birthday. 

“Shortly after I turned 

60, I realized that I wanted 

to mark my 65th birthday 

with an epic act that would 

combine physical activity 

with reflection on how to 

use the next 20 years, 

should I be lucky enough to 

experience them in good 

health,” she said. “Walking 

across the United States fit 

the bill perfectly.” 

She and her husband 

Lincoln, who own and manage 

the Red Lion Inn in 

Stockbridge, Massachusetts, 

researched and mapped out 

the journey deciding to follow 

Route 20 because it is a 

“cross country route that is 

full of history.” 

Route 20, she explained, 

from Boston to the Pacific 

coast of Oregon, traces the 

westward embrace of this 

continent by the people and 

ideas that created our country.”

On February 9, 2011, the 

65 year-old began her journey, 

which she expects to 

take three years to complete 

the 3,365 mile trek. Accompanied 

by her husband on 

the journey–coach, manager 

and scout–Mrs. Fitzpatrick 

walks rain or shine, 10 

miles daily, two and a half 

miles an hour, six days each 

week. 

The inn owner enjoys the 

towns, cities and people. 

“So many different places 

and I have met so many 

wonderful people,” she said, 

adding that the governor of 

Massachusetts even walked 

several miles with her. 

While walking through 

Cleveland on Euclid 

Avenue, Mrs. Fitzpatrick 

had a surprise–a mini-concert 

by the 200-member 

Singing Angel chorus. 

“There is nothing more 

uplifting then being surrounded 

by young people 

sharing something so 

enriching and joyful. What a 

memorable experience. And 

for sure, a high point of my 

journey,” she added. 

Along the route, Mr. 

Fitzpatrick scouts out bed 

and breakfast inns, historic 

hotels and unique places to 

stay for several days while 

his wife continues her walk. 

The walker ended her 

journey for 2012 in Perrysburg

Coaches Association. Coach 

Hall has been involved as a 

speaker at camps and clinics 

throughout Ohio. He also is a 

contributing writer for 

www.WebBall.com. 

Coach Hall is a graduate 

of St. Marys Memorial High 

School, where he played football, 

basketball and baseball. 

He is a graduate of the University 

of Toledo with a bachelor 

of education degree in 

social sciences and an master’s

He said he always knew 

he wanted to coach and was 

always thankful for Coach 

Sanders and Coach Carbone 

allowing him to learn and be 

part of the Rocket program. 

Coach Hall has been a 

teacher at PHS for 31 years, 

where he teaches sociology 

and American history. He 

coached football for 25 years

He taught four years at 

Whitmer High School, where 

he coached both baseball and 

football. 

This fall, the food pantry 

reorganized to a “client 

choice” pantry, said PCU 

president Shirley Kleist. 

“As a client choice 

pantry, the client walks 

along shelves of food and 

selects which items will best 

feed his or her family,” she 

explained. “This allows 

those with food allergies and 

dietary restrictions to reject 

foods which will not be consumed 

by their families. 

The food pantry is located 

in the back parking lot of 

Grace United Methodist 

Church, 601 East Boundary 

Street. The hours of operation 

are Mondays, 1 to 3 

p.m., and Fridays, 9 to 11 

a.m. 

Along with groceries, 

clients receive a food voucher 

for the purchase of fresh 

dairy and meat products at 

Kazmaier’s grocery store. 

In 2011, 544 households 

used the pantry. 

Donations accepted 

include instant potatoes, 

canned meat, pasta, macaroni 

and cheese, crackers, 

cereal, soap, peanut butter, 

canned vegetables, hamburger 

helper, pork and 

beans, and toilet paper. 

Currently, the pantry is in 

need of crackers, canned 

milk and tomato products. 

New, unwrapped toys for 

children of all ages also will 

be collected along with 

monetary donations.

opportunities, contact Mrs.

Polar Plunge fund-raisers to 

benefit Special Olympics Ohio 

Special Olympics Ohio announces 

the lineup and site list 

for its 2013 Polar Plunge season. 

This popular event, held 

on Saturdays during January, 

February and March at locations 

throughout the state, is 

among the largest fund-raisers 

for Special Olympics Ohio. All 

money raised from the Polar 

Plunge benefits more than 

23,000 Special Olympics athletes 

in Ohio. 

There are nine opportunities 

across Ohio this winter to 

participate in Special Olympic 

Ohio’s “Freezin’ For A Reason” 

Polar Plunges. The first 

two Plunges are scheduled for 

January 26. Plunge locations 

this day are Thirsty Pony, in 

Sandusky, and Caesar’s Creek, 

Waynesville. The following 

Saturday, February 2, is when 

Special Olympics Ohio and 

Special Olympics Kentucky 

come together for a Plunge to 

benefits the Special Olympics 

athletes of both states. This 

Plunge is held at Joe’s Crab 

Shack, in Bellevue, Kentucky. 

The Geneva and Genevaon-the-Lake 

Super Plunge is 

scheduled in Geneva, February 

9. Also that day, Ohio University, 

in Athens, hosts its 

Plunge. The Columbus Zoo 

and Aquarium, in Powell, has 

its Plunge February 16. The 

2013 Polar Plunge season concludes 

in March. Grand Lake 

St. Marys, in Celina, hosts its 

Plunge, Saturday, March 2. 

Mosquito Lake, in Cortland, 

has its Plunge March 9, while 

Indian Lake, Lakeview, hosts 

the final Plunge of the season 

March 16. 

As part of the Polar Plunge 

experience, participants obtain 

monetary pledges and then 

agree to jump or slowly crawl 

(however the case may be) into 

the frigid waters of an Ohio 

lake or waterway, or the special 

Polar Plunge pool, depending 

on location, to earn 

their pledges. 

Another opportunity to participate 

is “Too Chicken to 

Plunge.” To participate, one 

raises a minimum of $30 and 

is awarded with a “Too 

Chicken to Plunge” T-shirt, as 

well the opportunity not to 

Plunge. Or, teams of chickens 

may be formed in support of 

favorite Plungers. 

A minimum in pledges (either 

$50 or $75, depending on 

age and location) is necessary 

to participate. All plungers receive 

a T-shirt and food and 

non-alcoholic beverages at a 

Post-Plunge party. There also 

are incentive prizes for those 

who collect more than the minimum 

pledge. Individuals and 

groups are welcome to participate; 

personalized on-line 

fund-raising pages are available. 

The Super Plunge in 

Geneva-on-the-Lake involves 

raising a minimum $888 in 

pledges and Super Plungers 

commit to jumping in once an 

hour for eight hours. Also, in 

conjunction with the Genevaon-the-Lake 

Super Plunge, a 

raffle is held for the chance to 

win a 2013 (FLS Softail Slim 

Ember Red Sunglow with enclosed 

trailer) Harley-Davidson 

motorcycle. 

Raffle tickets are $10 each. 

Information for all Plunges is 

available at sooh.org or by 

phoning Special Olympics 

Ohio at 614-239-7050.

The Ohio State Highway 

Patrol is warning drivers 

about the dangers of driving 

in winter weather and is offering 

some tips on what drivers 

should do in the event of a vehicle 

break down or a crash. 

From December 2011 

through March 2012, 15,526 

crashes occurred on snow, ice 

or slush covered roadways 

killing 27 people and injuring 

4,529. 

Speed-related factors were 

reported as a cause in 72 percent 

of these crashes. 

In the event of inclement 

weather, the Patrol is urging 

motorists to allow extra time 

to get to their destination, 

maintain a safe distance between 

their vehicle and the 

traffic ahead, pay close attention 

to bridges and overpasses 

–as they are often the first to 

freeze over–and to drive 

slowly, as everything including 

accelerating, turning and

Suggestions for limiting sugar intake during the holidays and every day 

I have a sweet tooth. 

I’ve been cutting back on 

sugar lately, but I’m worried 

about the holidays 

and all the extra sweets. 

Do you have any guidance 

It’s a good idea to eat less 

sugar–added sugar, that is. 

It’s estimated that Americans 

consume 16 percent of 

total calories from added 

sugar–the kind of sugar 

that’s added to foods during 

processing or preparation, as 

opposed to the type naturally 

found in fruit and other 

whole foods. 

That 16 percent is equal 

to 320 calories a day on a 

2,000 calorie-a-day diet–far 

more than recommended. 

The American Heart Association 

suggests that women 

consume no more than 100 

calories a day from added 

sugars, and men no more 

than 150 calories a day. 

The nutrition community 

agrees that cutting back on 

sugar would be a very good 

thing. Some experts, including 

the authors of a commentary 

published in the 

journal Nature in February 

2012, even go so far as to 

call added sugars “toxic” 

and advocate regulating 

them like alcohol. 

Others are more moderate, 

saying that added sugars 

are just a source of needless 

empty calories and cutting 

back would help people with 

their weight and triglyceride 

levels, which increase when 

you eat too much sugar. 

In either case, you should 

know that overdoing it on 

added sugars -- or other carbohydrates, 

including white 

rice, bread and other refined 

grains, could cause your 

blood sugar to spike and 

then drop, possibly suddenly–and 

that variation in 

blood sugar could trigger 

more sugar cravings. 

Be aware that avoiding 

added sugars can be a challenge. 

They’re not only in cake, 

cookies, pie, candy and ice 

cream, but they’re also in 

many processed foods, including 

barbecue sauce, 

salad dressing, canned soup, 

pasta sauce, granola bars, 

breakfast cereal, instant oatmeal, 

flavored yogurt, 

frozen dinners and many 

other foods. 

The largest contributor of 

added sugars in the diet is 

high-calorie soft drinks. 

Looking at the “sugar” 

line on the Nutrition Facts 

label doesn’t always help, 

because it lumps naturally 

occurring sugar together 

with added sugars. 

So you need to look at 

the ingredients listing to determine 

if the product has 

added sugar. 

Look for words like cane 

crystals, corn sweetener, 

evaporated cane juice or 

syrup, fructose, dextrose, 

glucose, sucrose, fruit juice 

concentrates, agave nectar 

(or other types of nectar), 

high-fructose corn syrup, 

honey, malt syrup, or molasses. 

Or more simply: Eat 

fewer processed foods and 

more fresh produce; use 

fresh ingredients when 

cooking; and drink more 

water and milk. 

And limit yourself to just 

one or two of those Christmas 

cookies at a time.

Aurora Project Inc. seeks 

donations for area homeless 

The Aurora Project Inc., a 

non-profit agency that offers 

new beginnings to homeless 

women and their children, is 

seeking donations of gift 

cards, gas cards and cash donations. 

Family sponsorships also 

are needed. 

The donations will be used 

to assist Aurora House in continuing 

its mission of empowering 

homeless women and 

children to achieve self sufficiency 

and independence. 

The organization’s transitional 

housing program offers 

a comprehensive program 

where women can work 

through the issues that led to 

their homelessness, build their 

parenting and life skills and 

take the time they need to 

make permanent, positive 

changes so that they will never 

be homeless again. 

Aurora House is the only 

facility in northwest Ohio, 

southeast Michigan that allows 

mothers and their children 

to live together as they 

work through the issues which 

led to their homelessness. 

For more information or to 

make a donation, call 419- 

244-3200. 

Happy 

Holidays!

PET OF THE WEEK 

Gourmet: domestic short hair, brown 

tiger with white muzzle and chest 

Salutations! My name is Gourmet. I 

fancy myself a bit of a wordsmith so I 

composed a poem for you in the spirit of 

the holiday season. “I don’t need presents 

with Christmas day wrappings, just a 

saucer of milk for Christmas day lappings. 

Speaking of laps, yours looks good 

for some napping, but first to the tree for 

some ornament tap-tap-tapping.” As you 

can see I’m a very smart boy, but I also enjoy playing with other felines 

and toys. I think I’m pretty remarkable and I know you will as well if 

you come out and visit me! 

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

to learn more about this great pet. All of our adoptable animals can be 

viewed by visiting www.WoodCountyHumaneSociety.org.

Basketball team defeats defending league champs 

Closed 

Christmas Eve 

and Christmas 

Day 

By Andy Brungard 

The defending league 

champs, Napoleon, traveled 

to Perrysburg High School, 

along with their University of 

Toledo bound team captain 

Jordan Lauf, to give the Yellow 

Jackets their first true 

challenge of the season. The 

Jackets came into this game 

with a 2-0 record, while this 

was the Wildcats’ first game. 

Shane Edwards led the offensive 

charge for the Jackets 

with 33 points followed by 

Nick Moschetti with 18. The 

Jackets shot the lights on in 

the first half, shooting over 50 

percent, which led to a 40-22 

halftime lead and eventually a 

72-60 victory. 

Perrysburg began the 

game challenging Napoleon’s 

guards, applying pressure at 

half court and forcing the 

front court of the Wildcats to 

be careless with the basketball. 

The first turnover was 

intercepted by Matt Kaczinski, 

who passed it ahead to 

Edwards who then dished to 

Moschetti on the wing, who 

hit a three pointer for a quick 

3-0 lead. 

Napoleon brought the ball 

up court and threw it to Lauf, 

who put it up and made a 

deep three to tie the game. 

The Yellow Jackets and Wildcats 

went back and forth 

throughout the quarter. 

With three minutes remaining 

in the first, Moschetti 

hit a three from the corner but 

was quickly matched by 

Napoleon’s Blake Dunbar 

with a three of his own, giving 

Napoleon a 10-8 lead. 

Bryant Byrd tied the game 

with a break away layup. 

Quinn Thomas ignited the 

offense for five points with 

less than a minute to play. 

First, dishing the ball to Chris 

from owners Bill & Cheryl Smith and staff .

Schimmoeller, who made a 

jumper in the lane. Then Q. 

Thomas on the next possession 

confidently shot a three 

well beyond the three point 

line, giving the Jackets a 15- 

12 lead at the end of the first 

quarter. 

Edwards started the second 

quarter with a three, and 

Byrd added a post up drop 

step that also sent him to the 

free throw line to add one 

more, extending the lead to 

21-12. Lauf added a three at 

the other end but Edwards 

quickly matched his three 

with one of his own and it 

was 23-15. 

The rest of the second 

quarter was an Edwards and 

Moshetti scoring display. The 

two combined for 11 more 

points, forcing Napoleon to 

take timeouts to slow down 

the pace. 

Napoleon struggled to

score, adding only one basket 

to put Perrysburg ahead, 40- 

17, with one minute remaining 

in the half. In the final 

minute, the Wildcats managed 

to score five unanswered 

points off of Perrysburg 

turnovers, and the Jackets 

took a 40-22 lead into the 

half. 

In the first half, Perrysburg 

scored more points than their 

total in their last game. But 

starting the second half, the 

offense was slowed down by 

a stingy Napoleon defense. 

The Wildcats came out 

hungry to eliminate the large 

Perrysburg lead and went on 

a 10-0 run. 

The Jackets did not score 

a basket for the first four minutes 

and 20 seconds until 

Hayden Thomas knocked 

down a jumper from the baseline, 

giving the Jackets a 42- 

32 lead. To finish the third 

quarter, Napoleon and Perrysburg 

each traded baskets as 

Napoleon managed to cut the 

deficit to nine points, 44-35 


The Yellow Jackets, feeling 

their lead slip away, were 

sparked by an Edwards runner 

along the baseline to go 

on a 6-0 run and regain a double 

digit lead. 

Napoleon, still playing aggressive 

defense, got into foul 

trouble and Perrysburg took 

advantage, converting nine of 

10 free throws. 

Lauf tried to keep the 

game close, hitting another 

three to add to his team high 

24 points. However, Edwards 

put an exclamation mark on 

the win when Moschetti stole 

a pass on defense and lobbed 

it ahead to a streaking Edwards. 

He caught the ball at 

mid court and finished it with 

a two handed dunk that 

brought the crowd to their 

feet and gave the Jackets a 

65-51 lead. 

The PHS win proves they 

deserve a spot somewhere at 

the top of the NLL. The 3-0 

Jackets will face league rival 

Maumee on Thursday, December 

20, at 7:30 p.m. 

OPENING 

THIS 

WINTER 

Perrysburg girls top Napoleon, stay unbeaten 

By Scott Buker 

Just another step closer to 

their goals is how the Perrysburg 

High School girls varsity 

basketball team viewed their 

44-11 victory over the 

Napoleon Wild Cats on Tuesday, 

December 11, at PHS. 

The Jackets shut out the 

Wild Cats, 11-0, in the second 

quarter en route to a halftime 

lead of 23-6 to propel them to 

their fourth Northern Lakes 

League victory of the season. 

The Jackets currently sit at a 

perfect 5-0 overall and 4-0 

record in the league, while 

Napoleon drops to 2-3 overall 

and 1-3 in league play. 

“It’s one step closer to our 

goals,” said head coach Todd 

Sims after the victory. 

“Our goals are to win 

league, go one step further in 

the state tournament and have 

fun–not necessarily in that 

order. 

The Jackets took control 

of the game early in the opening 

quarter. Sarah Baer broke 

a 2-2 tie at the 3:52 mark that 

sparked an 8-0 that pushed 

the Jacket lead out to 10-2. 

A Napoleon bucket with 

1:23 left to play in the first 

quarter cut the Jacket lead to 

12-6, and the Wild Cats 

would not score again until 

the 2:45 mark in the third 

quarter. 

Coach Sims credits his 

overall team athleticism to the 

reason why the Jackets were 

able to stifle the Napoleon offense 

during the opening half. 

“We have quickness and 

we have all-around athleticism,” 

he said.

“Defensively, we played 

really well. We created a lot 

of turnovers and we’ve always 

been like that. 

“You’re going to have 

some sluggish nights offensively 

through the course of 

20 games, but defense is all 

effort and helping teammates,” 

Sims further explained. 

Coming back from halftime, 

Perrysburg furthered 

their lead, largely in part to 

Baer, whose size and athleticism 

wasn’t countered by 

Napoleon. The 6’1” junior 

scored eight of her 22 points 

in the third quarter. 

“That’s the reason she’s 

such a match-up problem,” 

said Coach Sims. “Every 

team has a girl that’s 5’11 or 

6’1”, but Sarah’s athleticism 

Yellow Jackets fall to Start, 54-47 

By Andy Brungard 

Two short days after coming 

off an emotional win and 

an offensive explosion over 

Napoleon, the Perrysburg 

High School Yellow Jackets 

were defeated by the Start 

Spartans, 54-47. Perrysburg 

now drops to 3-1 overall. 

Start’s Michael Mitchell 

dominated around the basket, 

swatting many Perrysburg 

shots and making it difficult 

for the Jackets to score 

around the basket. 

Perrysburg’s Nick 

Moschetti scored the first 

four points of the game. His

The Spartans responded 

with a 8-0 run and took a five 

point lead until Quinn 

Thomas hit a baseline jumper 

at the buzzer to cut into the 

Spartan lead and make it 14- 

11, Start, at the end of the 

first. 

The second quarter started 

out slow with neither team 

scoring in the first two minutes. 

Perrysburg’s Matt 

Kaczinski put the Jackets on 

the board after grabbing an 

offensive rebound and putting 

it back in. 

Start held a seven point 

lead for most of the quarter 

till Byrd took a defensive rebound 

coast to coast for a 

layup and Moschetti put in a 

free throw to cut he deficit 

down to four points, 20-16. 

However, the Spartans 

worked the ball around at the 

other end of the court and 

nailed a three pointer to regain 

a seven point lead, 23- 

16, going into halftime. 

The Jackets struggled to 

catch up to the Spartans lead, 

only pulling within six points 

with four minutes remaining 

in the quarter. 

Then Moschetti hit a three 

pointer which was followed 

by Hayden Thomas taking a 

charge on the defensive side 

of the court and the Jackets 

were in business. They 

pushed the ball up court following 

the charge call and 

Moschetti set up behind the 

arc looking to shoot another 

three. Instead he dished to 

Edwards, who swished a well 

contested three of his own 

and Perrysburg tied the game 

up at 27 and held all the momentum. 

Start then answered with a 

6-0 run led by leading scorers 

Scott Hicks and Dexter Johnson, 

who each scored 14 

points in the game. The Jackets 

again chipped away at the 

Start lead with two H. 

Thomas free throws and 

Byrd, grabbing his own offensive 

rebound and placing 

it back in as the buzzer 

sounded. The Jackets were 

only down two points heading 

into the final quarter. 

In the beginning of the 

fourth quarter Byrd grabbed 

a rebound near the basket and 

laid it in to tie the game at 33 

all. 

This however was the 

closest Perrysburg came to 

regaining the lead. 

Start exploded on offense 

and led by as many as 12, 46- 

34, with four minutes remaining. 

Perrysburg never quit. 

They made an attempt to 

catch up by stopping the 

clock with fouls and pushing 

the ball up court for quick 

scores, but Start held on for a 

seven point victory. 

The leading scorers for 

the Jackets were Bryant Byrd 

with 15 points and Nick 

Moschetti with 14.
