PERRYSBURG YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER 1853 1935 VOLUME 160, NUMBER 40 – OCTOBER 3, 2012 Health care taxes for businesses discussed by Latta Attending the Perrysburg Area Chamber of Commerce meeting on business and the new health care law, are from left: Chamber member Dr. Mike Zysik, Perrysburg City Council President Joe Lawless, Chamber President and Councilman Mike Olmstead, Congressman Latta, Perrysburg Board of Education President Barry VanHoozen, Perrysburg Township Trustees Bob Mack and Craig LaHote, and Chamber board member and Perrysburg Schools Treasurer Matt Feasel. By Beth Church With more aspects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act soon to take effect, U.S. Rep. Bob Latta is cautioning business owners and taxpayers to be prepared for the changes. The congressman gave a presentation on September 17 as part of a quarterly discussion series hosted by the Perrysburg Area Chamber of Commerce. He provided a series of handouts explaining the 21 pending tax increases of the federal health care law often referred to as “Obamacare.” The legislation is expected to affect one-sixth of the U.S. economy. “There’s a lot of things coming down on businesses”– small, medium and large, he added. Among the tax consequences of the law that he listed are: •Higher marginal income tax rates on every American who pays income taxes, including small business owners; •Higher taxes if you are married (marriage penalties reinstated); •Higher taxes if you are a parent (child credit cut in half); •Higher death taxes on small businesses and family farms, and •Higher taxes for 31 million households due to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). [See related box.] 21 Tax Hikes Costing Taxpayers More Than $675 Billion The U.S. Supreme Court’s health care ruling left in place 21 tax increases enacted as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. A dozen of these, marked with an asterisk (*) below, target Americans earning less than $200,000 per year for singles and $250,000 per year for married couples. According to a new estimate from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation, the tax increases that remain will cost taxpayers more than $675 billion over the next 10 years. Provision Additional 0.9 percent payroll tax on wages and self-employment income and new 3.8 percent tax on dividends, capital gains, and other investment income for taxpayers earning over $200,000 (singles)/$250,000 (married) “Cadillac tax” on high-cost plans * (Premiums more than $10,200 per person or $27,500 per family, not including dental or vision. May affect those with strong union contracts.) Annual tax on health insurance providers * Annual tax on drug manufacturers/importers * 2.3 percent excise tax on medical device manufacturers/importers* Limit Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) in cafeteria plans * Raise 7.5 percent AGI floor on medical expense deduction to 10 percent * Increase penalty for nonqualified HSA distributions * Impose limitations on the use of FSAs, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs), and Archer Medical Savings Accounts to purchase over-the-counter medicines * Impose fee on insured and self-insured health plans; patient-centered outcomes research trust fund * Impose 10 percent tax on tanning salons * Employer mandate * Individual mandate * March 2010 Estimate (‘10-‘19) $210.2 billion June 2012 Re-Estimate (‘13-‘22) $317.7 billion $32.0 $111.0 $60.1 $27.0 $101.7 $34.2 $20.0 $13.0 $15.2 $1.4 $29.1 $24.0 $18.7 $4.5 $5.0 $4.0 $2.6 $2.7 $52.0 $17.0 $3.8 $1.5 Pending Pending Prepared by Congressional Ways and Means Committee staff – June 28, 2012 Holding up a binder containing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Mr. Latta noted that after reading, tabbing and highlighting the document, he believes “there are a lot of flaws in the legislation.” Mr. Latta noted the Fifth District that he represents, covering 16 counties in northwest Ohio, includes the largest number of manufacturing jobs in Ohio, as well as the largest number of farmers and independent businesses. In August, during the Congressional break he visited 80 factories, businesses, hospitals and farms, he said. The top four concerns he hears from these constituents concern regulations, especially by the EPA; Obamacare, taxes and energy. And in speaking with young adults, Congressman Latta said their top concern is the economy–with 53 percent of Americans aged 25 and younger unemployed or under-employed. When asked by young people about choosing a career for the future, the congressman said he recommends studying to become a compliance officer to help businesses comply with all the legislation coming out of Washington. Mr. Latta said the owners of a factory he recently visited employ 10 workers, but the 11th employee to be hired will have to be a compliance officer. “For 10 employees?” he said. He noted that in the new health care legislation, the word “shall” is used more than 1,000 times, but the word “may” is used less than 50. The National Federation of Independent Businesses has estimated the recordkeeping costs to be $18 to $19 billion. He fears a “massive recession” next year if all of the taxes are implemented. The congressman also questioned the sustainable growth rate of the law. The Congressional Budget Office has stated that the tax increases over the next 10 years will cost taxpayers more than $675 billion. The congressman questioned what he described as “the Washington mindset” in regard to placing regulations on businesses–“do they understand the impact?” He believes too many federal government employees living and working in Washington, D.C. do not consider the effect of laws “out in the real world.” Mr. Latta described the “embarrassing silence” of bureaucrats visiting his Please turn to page 2➧ Trustees discuss options should fire/EMS levy be defeated By Jane Maiolo With the November 6 election only six weeks away, the Perrysburg Township trustees discussed their options should the fire/EMS 4-mill continuing levy fail to be endorsed by voters. At the September 19 meeting, Trustee Craig LaHote said the trustees need to provide Fire Chief Tom Brice with guidance should the levy not pass. “We hope the voters are supportive but if not we need to look at what [services] to cut and what to maintain,” he said, adding, “This is new territory for us. We haven’t had to address this before.” Trustee Bob Mack recommended the trustees address the issue in detail at an upcoming department head meeting, giving them and the fire chief more time to assess the impact. “We need to look at the budget and see what we can pull from the general fund,” he said, and suggested that the chief also examine pos- sible ways to share equipment and services with neighboring departments. The trustee noted that Ohio Governor John Kasich is encouraging communities to share services to save on costs whenever possible. Chief Brice, who had hoped to hire a full-time EMT/firefighter to replace a recent retiree and three part-time employees to cut down on staff overtime, suggested waiting. “There’s not much sense in hiring if you’re going to have to lay someone off in January,” he said. The trustees opted this spring to place the levy on the ballot, after reviewing the financial status of the department and its anticipated costs. The department currently has a permanent 1-mill EMS levy established in 1987 and a 2-mill, five-year fire levy in place until 2014, but those funds are insufficient to fund the now unified EMS/fire department. PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER ©WELCH PUBLISHING COMPANY, PERRYSBURG, OHIO, (419) 874-4491 For nearly a decade, the trustees have taken money from the general fund to help cover the department’s operating expenses, but with cuts in federal and state funding as well as a reduction in tax revenues, the township can no longer afford to buffer the department, said Mr. Mack. Chief Brice has said that funds from the levy will only be used to maintain the department’s current level of service, and he continues to look for ways to bring in revenues. The trustees approved one additional revenue stream during the September meeting. They passed a resolution allowing the fire department to charge user fees for the delivery of emergency services to motor vehicle crash sites. The resolution reads, in part, “the Perrysburg Township Fire Department shall initiate a schedule of user fees for the delivery of emergency services at motor vehicle crash sites. The rates established shall be the usual, customary and reasonable costs for the services and fluctuate accordingly. “User fees or portions thereof not paid by insurance are waived for township residents.” Other Business In other business, the trustees: •Agreed to send firefighter Matt Homik to a firefighter/EMS expo course at a cost of $290. •Approved an automatic aid agreement with Lake and Troy townships. The agreement calls for the fire departments to mutually send a tanker truck in the event of a structure or suspected structure fire in areas where there are no fire hydrants or reliable water sources. “This will be a tremendous benefit to all three communities,” said Chief Brice. •Authorized the purchase of equipment to outfit the police department’s new Chevy Tahoe from Statewide Emergency Products at a cost of $9,510. •Reviewed the detective’s report for September 4 to 19. Police Chief Mark Hetrick said detectives are working on sex offense, credit card fraud and scrap theft cases. •Tabled a decision on the purchase of a dump truck and plow for the maintenance department due to the cost. The lowest bid was $133,507 from Stoops freightliner. •Announced that the fire department will host a fire safety open house from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, October 6, at the township’s fire department on Lime City Road. The event is open to the public. •Approved participation in the Lucas County Electric Aggregation program. The next trustees’ meeting will be at 6 p.m., Wednesday, October 3, at the township meeting hall, 26609 Lime City Road and is open to the public. 75¢ SINGLE COPY ‘What a great contributor you are to the community’ Phyllis Morton receives 2012 Virginia Secor Stranahan Award Forty-two years ago, after her husband passed away, Phyllis Morton and her six young children moved to Perrysburg to be near family. And since that time, Mrs. Morton has contributed to the quality of life in her new hometown– much of it out of the limelight of public awareness. On September 23, Mrs. Morton was honored by the Perrysburg Area League of Women Voters as the 2012 Virginia Secor Stranahan Citizenship award recipient. League members, guests, family and friends gathered at the Stranahan house at the 577 Foundation to recognize the award recipient. Mayor Nelson Evans, who presented a proclamation honoring Mrs. Morton as a “Distinguished Citizen of Perrysburg,” told the group that one of his “good” duties as mayor is to recognize outstanding citizens in the community. “Without those citizens, our community would not be as good as it is. Phyllis, what a great contributor you are to our community. I congratulate you. This is a well-deserved award.” Mrs. Morton holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Brown University and received a M.A.T. in the art of teaching from Seton Hall University in New Jersey. For 30 years prior to her retirement several years ago, the honoree served as service manager for Zoar Lutheran’s Abundant Life Center. Currently, Mrs. Morton is the coordinator of the Christian Seniors Interaction and first vice president of the Perrysburg Area Historic Museum. She is co-chair of the Zoar Lutheran soup kitchen and is an ombudsman for Liberty Nursing Home Residents in Toledo. Mrs. Morton is a volunteer surrogate parent for children in the Perrysburg school district who need assistance and volunteers for Phyllis Morton recently was awarded the 2012 Virginia Secor Stranahan Citizen of the Year Award by the Perrysburg Area League of Women Voters. Mrs. Morton was presented with a proclamation by Mayor Nelson Evans and an original kilnformed glass design of downtown Perrysburg created by league member Ann Hymel. Also, Mrs. Morton’s name was engraved on the Stranahan award, which is on display in the Stranahan house at the 577 Foundation. Pictured from left, are Mayor Evans, Mrs. Morton, her son David Morton, and Carol Russell, Perrysburg Area LWV president. Read for Literacy in the Rossford Head Start program. She is a court appointed special advocate in juvenile court of Lucas County and serves on the citizens review board of Lucas County Court as a reviewer of files in the juvenile court system to make sure the court follows up in the best interests of the children. The award recipient also served as the Perrysburg representative on the TARTA (Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority) board and she continues to advocate for public transportation in Perrysburg. When manager at Abundant Life, Mrs. Morton obtained her CDL driver’s license so she could transport residents to local events. She earned a certificate in legal assisting from the University of Toledo. The 2012 honoree also is the grandmother of 16. Accepting the award, Mrs. Morton said she was very fortunate to have known Virginia Stranahan through Abundant Life and “so honored to be awarded this special award in her name because she was such a special lady in my life.” Mrs. Morton shared with the group how Mrs. Stranahan was instrumental in making sure that she was able to attend every seminar in the area on aging including those held at Bowling Green State University and UT. “She then called me one day and said, ‘I think I have something for your residents at Abundant Life that they would enjoy.’ And that was playing the dulcimer, which was made out of cardboard,” said Mrs. Morton. “And so I think there were 10 or 12 residents and myself who came here to her home and learned to play the dulcimer–a cardboard dulcimer–from a gentleman who taught music in a high school east of here. One by one we were not satisfied with the cardboard ones–we had to have the real thing. So, I am an owner of a dulcimer. “Another occasion was that I spent Easter Sunday here at the home with Virginia and other friends and we ate lobster out in the dining area. So I also have that memory. “She was quite a lady and was always interested in bettering the community, which is what we would expect from her. Everything she did was for the community–that Please turn to page 2➧ ‘Eat Your Heart Out’ Downtown Perrysburg to host ‘First Friday’ Oct. 5 , 6 to 9 p.m. Downtown Perrysburg, Inc.

Democratic Club to host candidate meet-and-greet Page 2 — October 3, 2012 — PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL Health care taxes for businesses discussed by Latta ➧Continued from page 1 office, when they fail to answer after he asks them: “Have you ever been in a business you regulate?” “Regulations are not being vetted,” he said. Congressman Latta said he would support repealing the health care law, and instead establishing legislation that: creates a pool accessible to businesses, the ability to buy insurance across state lines, that takes care of people with pre- existing conditions and advocates tort reform. “If you start with a clean slate, it’s easier than trying to clean up 2,700 pages,” he said. In connection to the health care law’s impact on the economy, he also is concerned about the nation’s $1.13 trillion deficit this year with a quarter of the federal budget being spent on interest payments. “When you look at these numbers, it’s unsustainable,” he added. “When the next generation comes along, everybody has a $50,000 price tag on their heads.” Congressman Latta favors reducing taxes along with the size of the federal government. He contrasted this philosophy to the recent growth in government offices. “A few years ago, while factories were cutting employees, there was a 27 percent increase in the size of federal departments,” he said. “We have to cut spending–it’s that simple.” With $5.3 trillion owed to foreign creditors, he said, “if you don’t want to sleep at night, Google ‘US debt held by foreign countries’.” He advocates a balanced budget amendment for Congress, just as is required by law for states and local governments.

To the citizens of Perrysburg: I am writing this letter in support of the Perrysburg Schools replacement operating levy this November. As a Perrysburg resident for more than 16 years, I am well acquainted with the high quality of education that Perrysburg Schools provide. During that time, both of my daughters have attended Perrysburg Schools (one graduated on to higher education, and the other presently at the junior high.) The existing levy will expire at the end of this year. If the existing levy is allowed to expire without replacement, the school district would lose 20 percent of its funding. Any organization or family would be hard pressed to deal with a 20 percent cut. This loss of revenue is compounded by the recent 10 percent school budget cut from the State of Ohio. Perrysburg Schools are faced with many challenges. We are all aware that we live in a rapidly changing world. This entails providing students with higher levels of technology than ever before. This technology comes at a cost, but is necessary to insure our students are prepared for the future. Our strong school system is a point of pride within our community and a valuable selling point to potential new businesses and residents alike. I am supporting the replacement operating levy on November 6. Pete Carella Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: As a long time resident of Perrysburg, I am proud that we have supported our seniors, the mental health levy, our schools, Way Library, trash collection, etc. These services aren’t used by everyone but they build a strong, vital and inviting place to live, work and play. Public transportation is a service that contributes to the whole community not just those who use it. Businesses gain customers from other communities who pay sales taxes for purchases of goods and services, property has a higher value compared to similar property not served by public transit, and employees can get to and from their jobs. In fact, the national average for a return on investment is just under $4 for every $1 invested in public transportation. Perrysburg has many people who rely on public transportation as their only means of transportation. The elderly, disabled, young people, people without a car or license and many others can continue to live independently by using public transportation The new transportation plan for Perrysburg is designed based on our needs and costs half the tax dollars compared to TARTA. Unlike TARTA, it’s a five year levy controlled by Perrysburg voters. Vote on November 6.

When I look at the breakdown of my Wood County property taxes, by far the largest portion of my property taxes goes to the Per rysburg School District. As if that is not enough, they also rip off the taxpayers WASH with their Perrysburg School District Income Tax. NIf the state of Ohio has reduced the level of funding for the local school districts, then the schools must do what we the taxpayers have to do whenever our income is reduced. We cut back on our expenses so that they are in line with our income. If the Perrysburg School District has the income for a “Chevrolet,” they should not expect the taxpayers to give 4198742877 them more money so that they $ can have a “Cadillac” instead. On November 6, I will be voting no to the Perrysburg School District levy request. N George Meade Perrysburg’s ONLY Full Service Car Wash!

The spirit and the team support have created an atmosphere that is unparalleled in northwest Ohio. Aside from the win over Southview, the highlight of the night was our fireworks display. While we wanted to use that show in our salute to the military night, the weather prevented that from happening. We would like to thank the following local sponsors who made our fireworks display event a success: Bowers Asphalt, Drs. Detwiler and Gannon, JC Chan Management, Modene Insurance Agency, Leatherman & Witzler, Attorneys, Perrysburg Messenger Journal, First Federal, Kingston Residence of Perrysburg, and Drs. Downs and Hire. Their support is greatly appreciated. To conclude Friday night’s community activity, we collected more than 200 jackets in our “Jackets giving Jackets” campaign. Our area residents who are in need of a jacket for warmth this winter will benefit from this collection. It is community members and local business support that make Perrysburg a special place.

As the first 501(c)3 quilt shop in America, we hope more needs will be met as our vision expands to other communities. Comfort quilts have been made by members of our local community and donated to people enduring unusual hardship including families of fallen soldiers, victims of tornado, fire and auto accidents, many homeless and orphans. Currently, a comfort quilt is being made for the family whose baby was shot and killed and another child critically injured. It is through the sale of fabrics and classes that we have sustained our mission. We will soon be losing our store-front and we are in need of affordable commercial space. Ideally, we need at least 900 sq. ft. to continue the services necessary to fulfill our mission.

M ESSENGER J OURNAL PERRYSBURG Y O U R H O M E T O W N N E W S PA P E R SECOND SECTION WWW.PERRYSBURG.COM Way Library Oral History: Robert E. Lee slept here By Richard Baranowski Did you know that Robert E. Lee, that great warrior of the Confederacy, once visited the Perrysburg area? It was back in 1835 when Lee, then an unknown figure, spent some time camped along the Maumee River, a few scant miles from Perrysburg. This episode in his life is much overlooked, as nobody gave a hoot about an 1835 Robert E. Lee. Biographers either skip or skim it at best. Ardath Danford mentioned it in her book, “The Perrysburg Story.” She gave me the idea and I decided to look into it. What was Lee doing here? As we pass through four years of commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, what better time to tell the story of Robert E. Lee’s visit to northern Wood County. Robert E. Lee was born in 1807, the son of General “Light-Horse Harry” Lee, one of the most fearless cavalrymen of the Revolutionary War. Lee attended West Point, excelling in mathematics, graduating in 1829. He reported for duty to the Army Corps of Engineers and began several years of designing or repairing army buildings, wharves, and fortifications. He also supervised the preparation of accounts and reports. In 1834, Lee was promoted to assistant in the office of General Charles Gratiot the Chief Engineer of the Army in Washington D.C., who also had a connection to Wood County. In 1813 he designed and directed the construction of Fort Meigs. Under Gratiot, Lee was saddled with dull and monotonous desk work and he didn’t like it much, preferring to be out in the field. Washington social life also bored him, although his wife, granddaughter of Martha Washington, relished its sparkly scene. So when Lee was tapped for a western survey project, he was perhaps happy to light out for the territory. In the spring of 1835 the boundary of Ohio and Michigan was in dispute. In 1833, Captain Andrew Talcott, who was Lee’s friend and former commanding officer, had made a survey of the line in controversy, but it was still causing disagreement. In May, he was directed by Congress to again verify the boundary. The non-smoking, nondrinking, Second Lieutenant Robert E. Lee was assigned to help Talcott in the re-survey. Let’s leave Lee for a moment to explain what instigated the future Civil War general’s visit to Wood County. Ohio’s original boundary line had its roots in the 1787 Northwest Ordinance, a document which outlined how the territory would be divided. The United States had leaders with great foresight and they were planning far in advance how the country would be divided, settled, and governed. Today, we think of the Northwest as being the states of Washington or Oregon. In 1787 the Northwest Territory was what soon would become Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. The territory of Ohio was the first to gain a population of 60,000, the number needed to advance to statehood, which it met in 1803. But Ohio’s northern boundary was fuzzy. The border line ran from the most southern point of Lake Michigan and proceeded east, terminating in Lake Erie at the Pennsylvania line. 1787 surveyors didn’t know where the southern edge of Lake Michigan was and drew the line farther north than it should have been. This defect was the cause of the dispute, but it gave Ohio valuable Lake Erie frontage and Ohio did not want this line corrected. To assure itself Lake Erie access, the state constitution, written in 1802 stated that “the east line from the south bend of Robert E. Lee is almost unrecognizable in this portrait made around the time of his visit to Wood County. Lake Michigan would pass south of Lake Erie (and it did) then the boundary should angle north to the extremity of the Maumee Bay.” These writers of the constitution were smart fellows. Congress received Ohio into the Union without objecting to this proviso. William Harris’s later 1817 survey agreed with this boundary. Michigan’s territorial governor disagreed and in 1818 had John Fulton re-survey the line. It conformed to the flawed Northwest Ordinance line which favored Michigan. Consequently, an eight-mile wedge in soon-to-be-called Toledo was in flux. By 1835, the dispute reached a boiling point. Michigan wanted to become a state. They demanded this strip of land along with its all-important harbor. The Toledo strip was part of Monroe County and governed by them, although the people living there considered themselves Buckeyes and wanted to stay that way. In the meantime, Ohio was building a series of canals - one of which was the MiamiErie to terminate in Toledo. There was much money invested and Ohio had no intention of giving up this future epicenter of transportation and commerce. Michigan sent out its militia to protect the Toledo strip. Robert Lucas, governor of Ohio who had fought at Fort Meigs in the War of 1812, organized 600 volunteers to defend its interest. They headquartered in Perrysburg, located safely in Ohio. This was April of 1835. Then politics bared its sharp, pointy teeth. By 1835 Ohio as a state was a political power. It had 21 electoral votes, while Michigan, still a territory, had none. Andrew Jackson wanted those votes in 1836 for his anointed successor, Martin Van Buren. If he didn’t give Ohio the strip, he might not get their votes. To complicate matters further, Michigan’s territorial governor was 24-year old Stevens Mason, an appointee, pet and protégé of Andrew Jackson. How to placate the two governors, both Democrats? Lee’s survey exercise may have been a stall tactic for the sly Old Hickory in an effort to kill time until after the election. This was the scene when the 28-year-old Robert E. Lee reached Ohio in early summer 1835. Ohio and Michigan militia had already tangled in April. While the survey party worked that summer, other skirmishes would rack the area, although they were mostly bark and bluff, a few wild shots in the air, and a fist-fight or two. As the line that Lee was to plot coincided with the Fulton Line, the line Ohio disagreed with, the state would not be exactly welcoming these surveyors, but not foolish enough to interfere with the U.S. Army. The Fulton Line passes very close to Perrysburg and Maumee. Here is its path using today’s landmarks. It runs west from Lake Erie through Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and then advances roughly parallel and slightly north of Curtice Road. Cutting across Route 280, just north of Great Eastern Shopping Center, it continues along East Broadway, to Miami Street and crosses the Maumee River near the Rossford Marina. On the opposite side of the river, the line continues west through South Toledo, bisects UTMC, then into Swan Creek Metro Park and on a bead parallel and slightly north of Airport Highway. The line splits the village of Holland and passes about a mile north of the airport and on west to Indiana. Perrysburg and Maumee, then part of Wood County, were only a few miles from this line and according to Michigan, true border towns. But in 1835 the boundary question remained unsettled. And that’s where Robert E. Lee re-enters our story. Here’s what we know about his work on the survey line and his visit to our area. Lee left Washington and his wife, who was expecting a child in July. She would not be alone, however. The couple lived with her wealthy parents and a house-full of servants. On May 21, 1835, Lee arrived in Albany where the survey group was assembling. Captain Talcott was already there. They were delayed, waiting for their instruments to arrive before heading west and it would be June before their departure. Lee’s official title in the party was Assistant Astronomer. Only a second lieutenant, the army’s lowest commissioned officer, he carried little status in the group. Among other members of the crew were Will Smith, James Irwin, William Stone, and Washington Hood, the Topographer. Besides Captain Talcott, all of the officers were lieutenants and outranked Lee. The survey party took the Erie Canal to Buffalo. As a government expedition, they probably traveled by canal freighter. They packed mainly their survey instruments and other special supplies such as custom paper for observation documentation and books of astronomical, geometrical, and logarithmic tables. They carried firearms. As army uniforms were too expensive to use as work outfits, the men wore civilian clothes. Passage was about $3 per person and the 363-mile canal trip would have taken about six to eight days. Historically, topographers and engineers bought or hired wagons and boats at the place they needed them, as the U.S. Army had little equipment at that time and probably none around the Great Lakes area. When they arrived at Buffalo June 7, they hired a boat and bought food and camping equipment. They probably also picked up some contract employees to do cooking, hunting, or moving the camp, although they had at least one civilian that had come with them. By July 8, the survey party was in Huron, Ohio, to begin their work. The crew did not trudge the line mile-by-mile through the wilderness. They made calculations to measure latitude and longitude from different points, or stations, along the line. There were three main stations, but they took observations from other locations as well. Huron, Ohio, was the first main station. They began measuring the southern-most bend of Lake Erie as this is the geographic point in which it appears. They used special instruments. The most important instrument was a portable meridian transit. It allowed Lee to measure latitude and longitude. On clear nights, Lee would point this transit into the heavens and follow the path of the moon and stars as they crossed their highest point, the celestial meridian. Calculations, combining these celestial observations with exact time using a timepiece called a chronometer, determined latitude and longitude. The party also carried several theodolites, a telescope-type instrument which often contained a built-in compass. It was used to view distant marks more distinctly and to measure vertical and horizontal angles. Other equipment would include measuring chains and several kinds of compasses. The party spent about two weeks around Huron. They continued north across the lake, taking observations from Gull Island, located south of Pelee Island just inside the U.S. line and underwater today. The party continued north to Point Pelee to record another set of measurements. From there, Lee and Washington Hood hired a cutter to take them to Pelee Island for additional observations. By the end of July, the survey party had set up Station #2 on Turtle Island to survey the Maumee Cape. On July 31, 1835, Lee wrote a letter from Turtle Island to Lieutenant George Cullum who was his temporary replacement in the Engineer Department in Washington. Lee didn’t much like Northwest Ohio. He wrote: “Our present abode may have many beauties, but to me they are as yet undiscovered. The country around savors marvelously of bilious fevers and seems to be productive of nothing more plentifully than of mosquitos and snakes.” Lee mentions snakes because he surprised one meanly-disposed creature in an abandoned lighthouse on Pelee Island. He and Washington Hood were intending to use the structure as a survey point. The snake blocked their entrance. Lee, thinking it was poisonous, quickly dispatched it. It was most likely a non-venomous Eastern Fox snake, common to Lake Erie, although it resembles and mimics a rattlesnake. Lee also picked up some glass lamp shades that were lying about to replace broken ones on their own lamps, which they used at night to read their instruments. Lee’s letter continued: “Of the good people in this country, we have seen nothing. We hear that about Toledo they speak hardly of us. Detroit is for us, our young gentlemen say, for they have all been there.” Toledo certainly would not look favorably on the group as they were working the line that could put that city in Michigan. Lee knew that, as he alludes in the next paragraph. “Hood and myself are in high preparation for a trip up the Maumee River to make a survey from a little above its intersection with the due east line from the south bend of Lake Michigan to this place– some 12 miles off. The boat and the men are ready, it is a long pull and we have to establish ourselves for the night and among enemies too. We should hardly get back before a week–as the trian- gulation must be done with accuracy to transfer the latitude and longitude from this place, there.” Lee concluded the letter by grumbling that he was often kept awake nights, especially if they were clear skies for celestial observations and he complained of constant interruptions during the day. This letter places Lee at Turtle Island July 31 readying for the trip up the Maumee River. The party would travel in a hired cutter, and if the wind was good, make the 12 miles upriver where the Fulton Line crossed in six hours. Andrew Talcott’s log from the survey indicates that the pocket chronometer, which Lee and crew would need, was taken up the Maumee on August 17. On that day in 1835, Robert E. Lee arrived in northern Wood County. As Lee stated in his letter, the party was to establish themselves somewhere slightly above this line. Lee mentions triangulation in this same letter. This is a method to calculate distance between two points without having to walk to the second point, ideal for establishing a line from one side of a river to the other which was difficult to do with chains or measuring tapes. Lee helped prepare the map for these Maumee River observations, as his is one of the names on it. The map indicates that Lee did several triangulations from the Rossford side of the river. He created the baseline of the triangle along the river near an area that was a popular nesting site for eagles, calculated the angles and determined distances to points on the Toledo-side of the Maumee River without having to cross the river. It is likely that Lee and the survey party set up camp in the vicinity of now Eagle Point Colony. It was not the pleasant site it is today. In 1835, it was a thicklywooded, mosquito-infested God-forsaken piece of real estate. The crew worked the area for three or four days. By August 21, 1835, Lee was in Detroit. He had been receiving letters here since July 1. All were most likely from his wife, who had given birth to a daughter July 12. At least one letter begged him to come home. He wrote back from Detroit he could not. On August 31, the surveyors arrived in Michigan City, Indiana, on Lake Michigan, to measure its southern bend. This was Station #3, and the group finished up here on September 10. Robert E. Lee’s survey work remained without effect, as did the entire project. Although the results were presented to the First Session of the 24th Congress in December of 1835 verifying that the Fulton line was correct, it didn’t matter. Jackson awarded the strip to Ohio and as a consolation prize, accorded Michigan the Upper Peninsula, which was actually planned to be part of Wisconsin. After all, Wisconsin was still a territory with more wildlife than people and was of no use to the schemers in Washington. As always, politics dictated the outcome. It is also to be noted that Andrew Jackson’s double game to secure Ohio’s electoral votes in the 1836 election also failed. Ohio went to Whig, William Henry Harrison, who captured all 21 votes. Michigan, which was recognized as a state right before the election, cast their three electoral votes for Martin Van Buren, who ultimately won the presidency. Old Hickory miscued. He didn’t need Ohio after all. But if not for Jacksonian politics, that great general of the Confederacy would have missed his only visit to Northwest Ohio. As a result, Robert E. Lee can be added to the famous and acclaimed who have paid a call to Wood County during its past history.

Dressed in her War of 1812 costume, Ms. Dushane attended a naturalization ceremony held aboard the U.S.S. DeWert, a guided missile frigate based in Naval Station Mayport, Florida. A total of 24 people from 17 different countries Ms. Dushane met with Wesley Heerssen, captain of the Brig Niagara during its stop in Toledo for Navy Week. Debby Dushane, regent of the Fort Industry Chapter of the DAR, recently attended a naturalization ceremony in her War of 1812 period costume. became new American citizens on the ship and were welcomed by several civic organizations, including the DAR. Later that same day, Ms. Dushane attended a reception aboard the DeWert, along with officers and crew of that ship and the other ships in port. She received a lapel pin with the words “Don’t Give Up the Ship” from Wesley Heerssen, captain of the Niagara. Captain Heerssen explained that the Niagara is a museum and educational ship based in Erie, Pennsylvania. The original Niagara was the vessel to which Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry transferred from his flagship, the U.S. Brig Lawrence, after it was heavily damaged by British fire. Commodore Perry won the Battle of Lake Erie, which was the decisive battle in the War of 1812. On its way back to home port from the Toledo celebration, the reproduction Niagara stopped at Put-in-Bay, site of the Battle of Lake Erie. Toledo was the third stop of the six-city Navy Week tour. Navy ships rarely visit the Great Lakes today except for commemorative events.

Put pumkins to use in many different ways Autumn is the season when pumpkins are ripe for the picking, and thousands of people flock to local farms and roadside vendors to select perfect pumpkins. Many pumpkins are turned into decorative jack-o'-lanterns for Halloween, only to be tossed in the trash come November 1. That could be because many people are unaware of the various ways they can put pumpkins to good use. Pumpkins are gourds and members of the squash family and have been grown and used for thousands of years. Evidence suggests that pumpkins date back to 7000 B.C., possibly originating in Mexico. Today they are widely used for decorating around Halloween, but there are many other things that can be done with pumpkins. • Create a food vessel. Pumpkins can be transformed into bowls to hold soup, punch, fruit, or even dips. Make sure the pumpkin has been cleaned well of its pulp and seeds, as well as the stringy flesh that is inside. Rub the inside walls of the pumpkin with oil to keep them from drying out and caving in, then fill with your food of choice. • Make pumpkin puree. Puree from a pumpkin can be used in all types of recipes, from soups to baked goods. The puree also can replace the oil in cake recipes. Cut the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and stringy membranes. Then place it cutside-down in a pan with a little water in the bottom. Bake at 350ºF for around 90 minutes. The flesh will become tender and easily removable. Blend the resulting puree in a food processor and reserve flesh for recipes. Some pumpkins are sweeter or better to use as part of recipes. Check the variety you're purchasing. • Whip up a facial. Use some pumpkin puree with a little brown sugar and a dash of milk to create a vitamin- rich facial mask. • Get illuminated. Turn hollowed-out mini pumpkins into candles. Melt soy wax, beeswax or the gel type of candle wax that can be found at most craft stores. Add your favorite scent and place a wick into the bottom of the pumpkin. Then pour the wax into hallowed-out space and allow it to harden. Try the same thing with bumpy and multi-colored gourds for added decorating appeal. • Turn the pumpkin into a flower pot. Fill a hollow pumpkin with soil. You may not have to worry about scraping the pumpkin completely clean because the pulp can be used to help fertilize the potting soil. Plant your favorite fall flowers into the festive and earth-friendly flower pot. When the pumpkin shows signs of rotting, simply put the whole thing into a traditional flower pot or bury it directly in the ground. • Make pumpkin stock. While vegetable or meatbased stocks may be the standards, pumpkin can be used to make stock as well. Clean out the seeds from the stringy guts of the pumpkin and put the guts into a pot filled with water. Add celery, carrots or any other aromatic vegetables for extra flavor. Allow to boil for at least 30 minutes. The stock is ready when it begins to change color. Strain and reserve the stock for use in a variety of recipes. • Add to compost bins. Pumpkins are rich in zinc, vitamin A and vitamin C, among other nutrients. You can add the discarded pumpkins to your backyard compost bins to further replenish the soil. • Turn into a billowing cauldron. Instead of a standard jack-o'-lantern, put a glass jar into the carved pumpkin, add dish soap and hot water to the jar and then put in a piece of dry ice. Bubbles and smoke will pour out of the pumpkin to create a spooktacular effect. AUCTIONS North Branch Nursery, Inc.

The 10th annual Alumni Association Golf Classic featured 29 teams and raised more than $27,700 to benefit scholarship endeavors. “Owens Community College’s Alumni Association is proud to once again host a community-wide event in which the proceeds benefit students pursuing a college education,” said Laura Moore, Owens Alumni Association executive director and event chair. “The golf classic was a huge success and would not have been possible without the overwhelming support of northwest Ohio’s business and industry as well as Owens alumni.” Organized by the alumni association’s steering committee, the golf outing was held at Belmont Country Club in Perrysburg. Participants enjoyed 18 holes of golf, lunch, grazing dinner and an awards program. Taking home top honors in the four-person scramble was the Owen Athletics team. Team members were Chris Lieber, Charlie Upchurch, Josh Williams and Jon Moyer. Earning honors for the longest drive was Chris Lieber for the men and Lisa Kurjan for the women. Closest to the pin honors for the men went to Rick Johnson and for the women, it was Lisa Kurjan. Event sponsors were Hylant Group and Hylant Administrative Services. In addition, Metzgers Printing + Mailing served as the print sponsor. Since its inception, the golf classic has netted more than $288,800. Funds are used to support Owens students pursuing a college education. Black Swamp Spinners Guild offers ‘Learn to Spin: 101’ The Black Swamp Spinners Guild of Northwest Ohio will offer “Learn to Spin: 101” on November 10.
