VOLUME 73, NUMBER 27–JULY 5, 2012

There’s a new officer on
duty in Perrysburg Township
and although he may not be
the tallest, he is certainly the
youngest and fastest and can
detect trouble in the air–literally.
At the June 20 meeting,
the Perrysburg Township
trustees were formally introduced
to K9 “X” who joined
the department just a few
weeks ago.
The newest member of
the department began active
duty a few weeks ago after
completing six weeks of
intensive training in
Columbus with his handler,
Officer Jason Gladney.
“We got a good dog, his
temperament is awesome,”
said Officer Gladney of his 1-
year-old companion.
A German shepherd from
the Czech Republic, X has
been busy during his first few
weeks.
“We had a stabbing near
Evergreen apartments and
did an article search,” said
his handler.
X also was brought in
when Sergeant Matt Gazarek
suspected drugs during a traffic
stop.
“He found 1,400 pills and
one ounce of marijuana,”
said Officer Gladney.
The K9 has been involved
in other traffic stops in which
heroin, pills and marijuana
were found.
“He’s actually doing really
well,” said his handler.
Officer Gladney said X is
trained in several areas.
“He’s a dual purpose dog,”
he explained.
The K9 can assist in
apprehension of a criminal.
When a suspect surrenders, X
will circle and contain the
suspect until ordered back by
Officer Gladney.
The K9 also is trained in
bite work and will bite down
Gladney.
on a fleeing suspect until the
suspect surrenders.
“The bite is not considered
deadly force. It’s somewhat
like a taser,” said the
officer, adding that X “bites
properly.”
His is a pressure bite and
rarely breaks the skin but can
create a good bruise, said the
officer.
In addition to containing
suspects, X is trained in
tracking. With the scent from
an article, X can search a
neighborhood for someone in
hiding or a missing person.
“He also can do building
searches,” said Officer
Gladney.
But perhaps the K9’s most
valuable training is in the
area of narcotics and illegal
drugs.
X can pick up the scent of
marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine
and heroin among

School district to pursue plan
for energy saving measures
By Beth Church
The Rossford Board of
Education will pursue an
energy savings plan for the
school district.
In the winter, the board
contracted with Energy
Systems Group (ESG) to
conduct an initial energy
savings audit of school
buildings.
The board had not taken
action on the ESG report
until the June 18 meeting,
deciding to move forward,
but did not commit to hiring
ESG for the project.
Board member Beverly
Koch initiated the board’s
action, noting the decision is
overdue.
“As a board we’ve taken
our eye off the ball–we need
to move forward with board
business,” she said.
Board President Dawn
Burks initially was hesitant
about the proposal.
“I feel we need more
information–there are a variety
of firms that do it,” she
said.
Mrs. Koch said she is
open to receiving proposals
from other companies, and
the other board members
agreed to support the plan.
Bob Densic of Birch
Drive urged the board to
proceed with the plan and
take advantage of energy
saving measures while decisions
have yet to be made on
a master plan for facilities.
“It would be three years
minimum until new facilities–even
if you started
tonight,” he said. “We don’t
know what we’re doing with
our buildings. In reality, it
will be four to five years.”
Energy saving measures
for electrical and lighting
systems have a two to three
year payback, Mr. Densic
noted.
“Let’s get this process
moving so we’re not throwing
$100 bills up the smokestacks,”
he added.
Buildings could be
updated to improve the environment
“that affects all the
students, all the teachers and
all the staff,” he said.
Mr. Densic believes the
school district can benefit
from House Bill 264, which
is a financing option available
for school building
improvement projects.
ESG began the process
with a walk-through of the
buildings, collecting basic
information on equipment
and building conditions,
plus utility bills and square
footage of the buildings.
The study was free of
charge and did not require
the district to complete any
recommendations.
Marty Miller of ESG
gave a presentation at the
March 19 school board
meeting on findings from
the energy audit conducted
by his firm.
Mr. Miller noted that the
district is spending more
than $399,000 annually in
utility costs.
In a building-by-building
review, the ESG report
offers a number of potential
energy conservation measures
based on specific problems.
“In general, the assets we
reviewed are either showing
signs of significant age and
are in need of replacement,
or are inefficient in technology;
all situations are leading
to high energy consumption
and significant unfunded
deferred maintenance,”
the energy audit report
states.
In most buildings, the
report suggests lighting
costs could be reduced by
converting from T12 to T8
fluorescent lamps, replacing
metal halide fixtures with
high bay fluorescent fixtures
and installing lighting controls
and occupancy sensors.
To reduce water costs,
the document proposes
replacing the existing water
fixtures, urinals and closets
with low flow units, and
replacing hot water heaters
with high efficiency or tankless
units.
Expenses for heating
ventilating and air conditioning
(HVAC) systems
could be reduced by replacing
standard thermostats
with programmable units,
and replacing boilers,
chillers and condensers with
high efficiency units.
Other districtwide conservation
measures suggested
are:
•Utility meter consolidation
•Exterior lighting retrofits
•Reusing waste oil
•Steam trap repair/
replacement
•High efficiency belt
drives on air handling units
•High efficiency motors
on air handling units
•Eliminate or replace
appliances with Energy Star
rated units
•Kitchen exhaust hood
controls
•Renewable energy
Based on the data collected,
Mr. Miller said the district
could annually reduce
operating expenses by the
following:
•Energy savings (guaranteed)–$112,400
•Capital cost avoidance–
$15,000
•Maintenance savings–$7,500
•Total savings–$134,900.
ESG believes the annual
savings of $134,900 would
fund an investment of $1.5
million with an annual debt
service payment of
$132,564 for 15 years.
The projected guaranteed
savings of $112,400 will not
only offset debt service payments
but also will provide
positive cash flow back to
the schools.
The first year, this cash
flow is $2,336 and increases
over time. Over the term of
this agreement, the total net
savings exceed $344,000.
ESG’s energy audit also
included findings by a
licensed structural engineer
from Poggemeyer Design
Group of Bowling Green
who walked through the
buildings in January to evaluate
their condition.
Based on visual observations
of the exposed interior
and exterior floors, walls
and roofs, no structural
problems were found with
any of the buildings.
other drugs.
“These are pretty amazing
animals,” said Officer
Gladney, noting that when
the dog is on duty he and the
officer are very focused.
When they are called to
assist, the officer relies heavily
on fellow officers to scan
the area for potential harm,
while he and X work. “I’m
focused on X’s action,” he
said.
Officer Gladney said his
K9 companion when not on
duty is well-tempered. “He’s
certified in obedience. He’s
great around people, and gets
along with everybody.”
X already has had his first
public appearance at a
demonstration at Owens
Community College and is
expected to make more public
appearances in the future
as the police department
strives to make residents
By Beth Church
Rossford’s traditional
celebration of Labor Day
with a fireworks show will
come a little earlier this
year.
The celebration has been
renamed “Rossford
Riverfest” and is scheduled
for Saturday, August 25.
“Riverfest is a combination
of the annual Rossford
fireworks celebration and
the former Fun at the
Fountain,” said Ivan
Kovacevic, city parks and
recreation director and cochairman
of the event.
The event has been
moved from Labor Day
weekend to the last weekend
in August in hopes that there
are fewer conflicts than over
the holiday weekend.
“We’ve seen that a lot of
people go out of town on
K9 ‘X’ becomes newest township police officer

police department, with his handler Officer Jason
aware of their newest officer.
Other Business
In other business, the
trustees:
•Agreed with a recommendation
by Fire Chief Tom
Brice to begin billing for
motor vehicle accidents in
which the township provides
assistance.
Chief Brice spoke with
the fire chief from Van Wert
who bills for accidents. “He
said it has been a good thing
for them. My recommendation
is that we pursue this,”
he said.
Trustee Gary Britten
agreed, “I think it’s a good
idea.”
•Approved as minor
changes two zoning revisions
in the Waterford subdivision.
George and Sue Gusses of
30248 Waterford are adding a
pergola to their home which
would extend beyond the
building envelope, and
Michael Morant of 30179
Waterford is planning an
expansion, which also
exceeds the building envelope.
The trustees approved the
changes, noting that residents
opposed the request but the
township zoning commission
and the Waterford housing
association and architectural
review committee had
approved the changes.
•Heard from Police Chief
Mark Hetrick that members
of the newly-formed SWAT
team graduated from SWAT
school recently. “The team is
now fully operational,” he
added.
•Approved an EMS/fire
department request for the
purchase of a new drug cabinet
security lock system for
$591. The lock will be purchased
from House of
Security in Columbus.

ROSSFORD, WOOD COUNTY, OHIO
Beautification work in downtown Rossford is continuing
with new plantings in the flower beds in front of the
municipal building.
The Rossford Beautification Committee is a group of
volunteer citizens working to spruce up the community.
Their latest project was planting flowers around the
“R” in the front lawn of the city building along Dixie
Highway.
Mayor Neil MacKinnon III thanked the volunteers for
their hard work and complimented the results.
“And there’s more to come,” the mayor added.
Labor Day weekend,” he
added.
All activities will take
place at Veterans Memorial
Park/Rossford Marina.
“A fun event is planned
for the entire family,” Mr.
Kovacevic said.
A co-ed softball tournament
begins in the afternoon,
and there will be a
cornhole tournament for
adults and children.
A beer garden will be
offered on the tennis courts,
with live music on a stage at
the basketball courts.
A boat and dock lighting
contest will take place in the
marina.
Food vendors and other
vendors will set up in the
parking lot.
There also will be numerous
children’s activities,
including inflatables, face
painting and carnival games.
Fireworks will take place
at dark.
“This is bringing all the
events together–the marina,
Fun at the Fountain and the
rec center’s kids activities,”
Mr. Kovacevic explained.
In the past, a portion of
the park was blocked off for
the fireworks safety zone.
However, Mr. Kovacevic
said fireworks this year will
be shot off from the ridge
behind Pilkington, allowing
the park to be fully utilized.
Rossford Schools has
agreed to provide vans for
shuttle service from the
Eagle Point and high school
parking lots to Veterans
Park.

Fireworks Fund-raising
The RBA will once again
spearhead the fund-raising
efforts for the event, including
the fireworks.
RBA Treasurer Cindi
Hollie-Selz, co-chair of the
event, said the RBA has set a
goal to raise $7,500 in donations
from businesses and
residents.
“The last two years it’s
simply amazing the support
we get from residents
alone,” she said.
RBA member Justin
Knierim of Edward Jones,
who is chairing the fundraising
committee, said the
organization is proud to
spearhead the campaign
again.
“As a way for the RBA
and its members to give
back to the community that
supports our businesses, we
know that our RBA members
will once again step
forward to make this great
event possible for the
Rossford community,” he
said.
Faced with severe budget
problems in 2005, Rossford
city officials discontinued
paying for fireworks at the
annual celebration and have
since relied upon individual
and business donations to
cover the cost.
Levels of sponsorship for
Rossford Riverfest are:
•Stars & Stripes–$1,000
•Red–$500
The top two levels of
sponsors will have their
names on a banner at the
event and may hang their
own banners at the park.
They will be recognized on
the gaming event T-shirts, in
all promotional materials
and on the RBA Web site.
They may have a promotional
table at Riverfest.
•White–$250
•Blue–$100.
These sponsors will have
their names on a banner at
the event and be recognized
on the RBA Web site.

of today’s newspaper or
contact Mr. Knierim at 419-

Last year, the RBA fundraising
efforts generated
$6,650.
RBA Vice President
Brenda Schwind said the
organization itself also
donated funds last year to
lengthen the time of the
show since the cost of fireworks
had increased from
past years.
Wendy Stram of the
Rossford Convention and
Visitors Bureau said the
event should be well-attended
especially because a
major youth soccer tournament
is taking place in the
area, and the Rossford hotels
will be filled with families.
Rossford City Council
approved the purchase of
equipment for a new police
vehicle, but held off on buying
the vehicle itself at a June
25 meeting.
Council authorized that
$8,000 be spent from a discretionary
police department
fund, related to alcohol based
crimes, for painting and specialized
interior equipment.
The ordinance specifically
stated that a 2012 Chevy
Tahoe would be outfitted
with the equipment, but
council members amended it
to a “police vehicle.”
Council only heard a first
reading of another ordinance
approving the purchase of a
Tahoe at a cost of $27,033
from Dave White Chevrolet
in Sylvania.
“I have some questions–
there’s some maintenance
issues about these,”
Councilman Chuck Duricek
said. “Let’s do a little homework
on what the maintenance
is.”
After the meeting, Police
Chief Glenn Goss said the
Tahoe actually has better gas
mileage than the Ford Crown
Victoria sedans.
He noted that the Ohio
Highway Patrol has been purchasing
Tahoes and find they
can drive them for 170,000
miles in comparison to
sedans at 130,000.
The chief added that the
cost of the Tahoe is about
$2,000 more than a sedan.
He said the SUV would be
used by a sergeant or senior
officer on duty.
Water Bill Complaints
Several council members
said they are still hearing
concerns from residents
about extreme water bills.
Councilman Jerry Staczek
is concerned that residents
are considering moving out
of Rossford due to the high
cost of water and sewer fees.
Mr. Staczek would like
city officials to provide an
explanation for residents as
to the reasons for the increases.
“The community, from
what I’m hearing, doesn’t

added.
He also believes residents
should receive better information
and customer service
from Northwestern Water and
Sewer District.
Council President Larry
Oberdorf said he has referred
many residents with questions
or complaints to
Leonard Michaels, Rossford’s
representative on the
NWSD board, who has been
helpful in resolving the problems.
Councilman Mike Scott
noted several reasons for
the higher bills–Toledo’s
increase in fees, NWSD’s
added fee for maintenance
costs and a special assessment
for the Crossroads
infrastructure.
He agreed that NWSD
should provide informational
materials explaining the
increases.
“I don’t think the water
and sewer district has been
proactive in discussing what
led up to the increases,”
Councilman Scott said.
Mayor Neil MacKinnon
III said he will ask NWSD to
hold two town hall meetings
to allow residents to bring in
their bills and ask questions.
Other Business
In other business, council:
•Approved the replacement
of the 17-year-old telephone
system in the municipal,
police, fire and public
works buildings, at a cost of
$15,535 from Roach-Reid.
Five bids for the system
were reviewed by council’s
facilities, parks and marina
committee.
•Heard a first reading of a
new stormwater, sediment
and erosion control plan for
the city. City Administrator
Ed Ciecka said changes still
need to be made to the document
before it is voted upon
by council.
With a limited summer
schedule, council’s next

Monday, July 23, in the

Kids Camps 2012
Heroes Summer Youth Camp
Youth ages 8-17 are encouraged to learn about real-life heroes – police officers, firefighters and
emergency medical technicians. You will learn what it is like to enter a virtual burning structure
wearing firefighter gear as you search for a missing person in rooms filled with smoke and (virtual)
flames; use the “Jaws of Life” to rescue a victim trapped in a car; leap from the top of a four-story
building as you learn to use rope rescue techniques; watch as K9s take down the bad guys and search
for explosives or drugs; learn what it is like to be a member of a SWAT Team as you experience the
training, then don the gear and respond to a bank robbery in process; join members of the bomb squad
as you enter a terrorist safe house laced with booby traps; witness the “live explosives” demonstration
and round out the camp by learning first aid. All this and more! Snacks are provided.
Crime Scene Investigator (CSI) Summer Youth Camp
Become a student detective and learn how the world of forensic science can be the key to solving a
crime. Working with your forensic team, you will enter the re-creation of an unusual and challenging
crime scene where an instructor will direct and coach you to use deductive skills, teamwork, math and
science to solve the crime. You will be trained in the basic process of evidence collection that includes
fingerprints, fibers and hair, blood spatter (simulated), DNA and tire or shoe prints and more.

No one was injured in a
house fire on Bergin Street
last week, but the State Fire
Marshal’s office is investigating
the blaze.
Rossford firefighters
responded around noon on
June 27, to 141 Bergin
Street on the report of
smoke coming from a second
story bedroom window.
Assistant Fire Chief
Josh Drouard said the fire
is believed to have originated
in a mattress and was
not intentional.
“The state fire marshall
has been called in to determine
the cause and origin,
and it’s still under investigation,”
he said.
Assistant Chief Drouard
estimated the cost of damages
at $35,000 to $50,000
for the contents and structure.
Fire damage was contained
to the second story,
but water and smoke damage
occurred throughout
the dwelling, he added.
A family is renting the
house, which is owned by
Todd and Caroline Eckel.
The house is not livable
and the American Red
Cross was called in to
assist the family.
Due to the hot weather
that day, Assistant Chief
Drouard said rotating crews
of firefighters were used.
Rossford was assisted
through automatic aid by
Northwood and Perrysburg
Township firefighters.

Police to concentrate
on parking enforcement
The Rossford Police
Department is increasing
enforcement of city parking
laws.
Police Chief Glenn Goss
said officers this week are
issuing warnings for vehicles
illegally parked.
This includes on-street
parking in the wrong direction,
blocking driveways or
sidewalks, parking on sidewalks,
parking on lawns or
tree lawns and parking in
front of fire hydrants.
Also, warnings are issued
for any vehicles parked on
the street longer than 24
hours without being moved.

“Aesthetically, it’s a
problem for the image of
our city,” Chief Goss
explained. “And it’s a safety
issue with people backing
up or driving the wrong
way.”
Recognizing that past
enforcement has been minimal,
the chief said officers
are providing some time
before citations are issued.
Warnings are being
issued currently, he said, but
soon tickets will be written.
“We are giving warnings
to let people know what’s
expected of them,” Chief
Goss said.
Letters to the Editor
The weekly deadline for Letters to the Editor is
noon on Monday. Letters should be limited to 300

reserves the right to accept or reject letters, and to

Wood County Humane Society’s
PET OF THE WEEK
Millie is a beautiful young lady who
came to us from the dog warden. Millie is
very good with people and knows "sit"
and "speak". She likes to climb on top of
the dog house and picnic table outside
and would probably sit on a couch in a
home. She is very playful, curious, and
trusting. She would require daily walks
and something to keep her busy. She is
very externally motivated and responds
well to praise, toys, and food.
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.

From left Kyle Michonowic, Clint Huntermark and Drew Pinardo of Rossford are all smiles
as they put the finishing touches on their robot kit.
Above, the boys grew anxious when their revised model
appeared to stall on the terrain as it attempted to navigate
a unique summer camp.
About 100 area students
in grades seven through nine
enrolled in the hands-on
camp, exploring such areas
as computer hardware/networking,
construction technologies,
ag biotechnology,
geographic information systems
(GIS), and green energy
management.
Each day, the students participated
in a different program.
The programs were
designed to increase students’
understanding of how science,
technology, engineering
and math skills are used in a
variety of career fields, explained
program coordinator
Kristie Reighard.
Some of the activities included
constructing/programming
robots; designing,
building and testing trusses;
extracting DNA from strawberries;
studying remote
sensing using Delta kites and
flip camcorders, and making

Constructing robots to
move over alien terrain
proved to be one of the more
challenging tasks for students.
Students designed their
land rover from Lego Mindstorms
kits.
“The goal is for students
to build a robot, a Mars
Rover, that can navigate
through a simulated alien
world,” explained instructor
Ken Nelson.
During the morning session
students learned the basics
of computer
programming and device
ideas for robots. In the afternoon,
students built their
rovers based on what they
had learned in the morning.
For Rossford residents
Kyle Michonowic, Clint
Huntermark and Drew
Pinardo the task proved
daunting.
After several hours of design
and assembly, the boys
still weren’t satisfied.
“It’s not working as well
as we want. It needs to make
sharper turns,” said Drew.
Mr. Nelson suggested a
modification to the design
from a four wheel to a three
wheel vehicle. The modified
design helped as the vehicle

navigated turns more readily.
In the ag biotechnology
room, students were busy
comparing packaging materials
and testing the materials
in an egg drop.
“We tested the genetically
modified corn product
against foam peanuts to see
which cushions better,” said
instructor Whitney Short.
Students assembled boxes
and placed raw eggs in resealable
bags. Each student
then selected the material
which they thought would
better cushion the egg against
breakage.
They took the boxes to the
second floor of the career
center and dropped them on
the floor below.
Many students packaged
their eggs in foam peanuts,
believing it would better
cushion the eggs. Much to
their surprise the eggs broke.
Only an egg packaged by
Jacob Hertzfeld of Perrysburg
survived, and it was protected
by the corn bio-product.
In the green energy program
instructor Vicki Miller
worked with students on a
bio-diesel fuel experiment.
They began the day by
making bio-diesel fuel from
vegetable oil. In the afternoon
students compared the biodiesel
fuel they created
against soybean fuel and fossil
fuel.
They calculated the energy
produced and compared
the results of the three types
of fuel against each other.
“Vegetable and soy produce
less energy which
equates to fewer miles per
gallon,” explained Ms.
Miller.
But she said that they are
a cleaner fuel, noting that
certain fossil fuels such as
diesel are considered carcinogenic.
This is the fourth year for
the program. The camp is offered
at minimal cost to students
in Penta’s member
school districts which include:
Anthony Wayne,
Bowling Green, Eastwood,
Elmwood, Genoa, Lake,
Maumee, Northwood, North
Baltimore, Oak Harbor, Otsego,
Perrysburg, Rossford,
Springfield, Swanton and
Woodmore.
