Remembering
that fateful day
in U.S. history
It was a Friday and I was
working at Bonner’s Shell
station, in Walbridge. We
had just finished installing a
rebuilt motor in a 1958 Edsel
and it worked well. Don
Bonner said that we did such
a good job, he would buy
lunch for us.
I washed up and went to
Frisch’s on Woodville Road
and got Big Boy sandwiches.
On the return trip, on the
curve on Droulliard Road, I
had the radio tuned to
WOHO, when the news of
the shooting came through
my speaker.
To this day, I don’t
remember how I got from
that spot to the gas station.
All I remember is staggering
in to the cash register area
and blurting out that
“Kennedy has just been
shot.”
The sandwich got eaten,
but I don't remember tasting
it. And every time I see an
Edsel, I cannot help but
think about November 22,
1963.

I teach Introduction to
Psychology at BGSU and
one of the concepts we talk
about is “flash bulb memory,” which is an extremely
rich memory that happens
when an unexpected event
occurs. People with flashbulb memories can remember many intricate details of
what happened–as if a flashbulb went off and the camera
captured much richer details
than the typical memory.
I was born in 1969 but
before teaching that concept
for the first time, I asked my
now-deceased mother to tell
me where she was when she
heard about the Kennedy
assassination.
She was able to tell me in
great detail that she was
working as a bank teller in a
drive-through
window
(remote from the main bank
office) and a man in a large
black sedan drove up to the
window crying. He didn’t
have any transactions to
make but just muttered that
the President had been shot
and then drove on.
My mother was confused
and called the main branch
and they verified that
President Kennedy had been
shot. If I remember, the bank
was closed for the rest of the
day.
After discussing this with
my mother and then sharing
with my students, my mother kept remembering more
details, calling me for the
next week to tell me the
name of the other woman
who was working in the
drive up window, what the
weather was like that day in
Peoria, Illinois.
Sadly, I will never be able
to recover those memories
any more, but it was a powerful experience to have had
that conversation with my
mother.
One thing that my mother
never told me was whether
she voted for Kennedy as
President. She believed the
ballot box was secret and
didn’t even tell her spouse
how she voted.

On November 22, 1963, I
was at my first job since
graduating from high school.
I worked in the credit department at the Gas Company. It
was a typical Friday afternoon and the girls were talking about what we were
going to do over the weekend.
I was stuffing envelopes
with bills to mail to customers when I received a
call from my boyfriend that
the President was shot.
When he told me, I didn’t
believe him and immediately
asked the people in our
office if anyone else had
heard the news. No one had.
People were asking
employees in other departments if anyone had heard.
At that time, we had no TVs
or computers in our offices.
We weren’t even allowed
radios.
No one could believe it.
Our supervisor then received
a call and confirmed that the
President had indeed been
shot. It was chaotic.
Everyone was in shock and
disbelief. No one seemed to
know what to say or what to
do. We just stood around,

50th anniversary of
the JFK assassination
This week marks the 50th
anniversary of the assassination of U.S. President
John F. Kennedy.
Just as younger generations recall where they were
when the Challenger space
shuttle blew up or the terrorists attacked on September
11, 2001, an earlier generation has distinct memories of
a tragic November day 50
years ago.

The front page of the Rossford Record on November 29, 1963–just a week after the President was killed. Along with
the devastating news, there also were stories about the RHS basketball team winning its opening game, VFW and
Rossford Eagles activities, a wedding announcement and a cheese ball recipe.
waiting for more news. It
was a long and sad afternoon.
Annette Plikerd
Friday, November 22,
1963 was my husband
Norb’s and my fifth wedding
anniversary. Since we are
Catholic and Fridays were
meatless back then, we
decided to wait until
Saturday to have our steak
dinner celebration.
I was at home making
pierogi when my mother
called. She told me that
President Kennedy had been
shot. I called Norb at work to
tell him. There were only
three networks on TV, and I
put on CBS.
I think somehow I did
finish making the pierogi. It
seemed as though everything
stopped that day. TV was
kept on constantly.
We felt so helpless. We
prayed for the President and
his family. The whole country mourned. We never did
celebrate our wedding
anniversary that year.
Judy Heban
On November 22, 1963, I
was an eighth grader at St.
Mary Magdalene grade
school in the days before TV
or computers in the classroom.
I remember Father coming to the door in the back of
the classroom and asking
Sister Catherine to step outside.
When she returned, she
asked all of us to go to our
knees beside our desks and
we would pray for President
Kennedy who had just been
shot.
Shortly after, Father
returned and Sister told us
that the President had died
and we should all go home.
As the first Catholic elected
President, this was a very
upsetting event for all of us.
Bob Watrol
The
day
President
Kennedy was assassinated, I
was a senior at RHS in Fern
Kimmel’s typing class,
which was separated by a
door to Rudy Federici’s
civics class that was
equipped with a portable TV
to be used for “current
events.”
At approximately 2 p.m.,
Mr. Andrews, our principal,
announced over the PA system that there were reports
of a shooting in Dallas,
Texas, involving possible
injuries to our Vice President
Lyndon Johnson, Texas
Governor John Connolly and
the media wasn’t sure of the
condition of President
Kennedy, as the reports were
still sketchy.
Bewildered and concerned, everyone was on the
edge of their seats.
Those in Civics class
turned on the TV and our
class listened through the
doorway. Soon it was
learned that indeed the
President was shot and the
situation was grave.
Many students were visibly upset and crying. Shortly
thereafter, Walter Cronkite
announced on the TV that
the President was dead. Mr.
Andrews made an announcement as well over the PA,
and school was dismissed.
While walking to my
after-school job at Myers
Rexall Pharmacy, I remember talking with friends and
customers and sharing with
them the empty feeling and
the total disbelief of what
just happened? I wondered
aloud who did this and why?
And what our future was
going to to be. My life took a
jolt that day; it was surreal
and a day we all grew up. I
believe the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy
still has had an effect on me
and our country 50 years
later.
Dave Weaks
November 22, 1963 was
a Friday, and a vivid day in
my memory. I was in my
sixth period shorthand class
that day as a junior at
Rossford High School.
The principal, Edgar
Andrews, came on the public
address system to say the
President
had
been
shot/wounded while in a
motorcade in Dallas, Texas.
Everyone in class let out a
gasp and concentrating was
difficult; we continued with
our lesson in a very subdued
manner.
Mr. Andrews came back
on the PA system to say the
President was dead. We were
all dismissed early from
school; the hallways were
eerily quiet and somber.
Since it was a cold, late
autumn day, I remember
going to my locker for my
coat and books; my eyes
were filled with tears.
On the long walk home as
school buses passed by me
on Dixie Highway, I was
wondering what had all just
transpired and what happened that our President was
dead?
Were we being attacked
by the Russians? What,
what, what? I could hardly
wait to get to the safety net
of my home. As soon as I
arrived home, my mom and I
embraced and cried. We
could hardly wait until my
dad returned home from his
afternoon shift at L-O-F.
Our lone TV in the house
was on continuously the
whole weekend; our family
was transfixed with sporadic
bouts of tears, disbelief and
overall sadness in what we
were witnessing–and even
fear, as we watched the subsequent unfolding of events
in Dallas, Texas and
Washington, D.C.
The smooth transition of
the Presidential office, the
dignity of Mrs. Kennedy and
her children, the National

Friday, November 22,
1963 will be a day that I’ll
never forget. I was home
from school recovering from
an illness, watching some
game show on Channel 11
when the program was interrupted by an announcement
that the President had been
shot.
Shortly Walter Cronkite
came on struggling to keep
his composure as he
announced the President had
been declared dead at 1 p.m.
E.S.T. That evening our family was very somber as we
watched TV trying to absorb
what
had
happened.
Immense sadness, shock and
uncertainty filled our home.
My wife was attending a
high school of nearly 2,000
students when the announcement was made during her
home economics class. As
the bell rang, she recalled,
“you could have heard a pin
drop. No one talked.” They
had an early dismissal and
when the bus dropped her
off, all the mothers in the
neighborhood were standing
by the curb to meet their
children–an event she had
never seen before, or since.
At our time in life, the
three events we remember as
though they occured yesterday are 9/11, an astronaut
walking on the moon and the
day JFK was shot.
Ken and Barb Szczesniak
I was in fourth grade at
Arlington School in Toledo
when the President was shot.
Our teacher, Mrs. Linda
Fessler, rushed into the room
and told us the news.
We had a television in our
room that we used for our
daily French lesson–in those
days it was black and white.
But we also got local channels, so she turned it on.
We all sat on the floor in
front of the TV watching. It
was sad and unbelievable.
In retrospect, it was the
beginning of many sad
events in the years to come.
My generation witnessed the
world, as we knew it, change
forever. I was in eighth
grade–we were following
the primary elections in history class–when Bobby
Kennedy was shot.
Sandy Komisarek
I wasn’t born yet, but as a
little child, growing up in the
60s and 70s, I remember
hearing a lot about JFK
along with a lot of protesting
over Vietnam and racial
riots. Being afraid of a war
with Russia was always a
fear as well. Children today
don’t even know what a fallout shelter is, but there were
signs on every major public
building back then.
I was born three months
after John Kennedy was
assassinated. But just last
month, my son Oliver and I
went to Dallas to Dealey

Rossford city officials are
pursuing the purchase of
another two foreclosed
parcels, hoping to find new
owners who will maintain the
properties and pay their taxes.
At a November 12
Rossford City Council meeting, Law Director Kevin
Heban said the parcels at 224
and 230 Osborn Street–both
vacant
lots–have
been
through two sheriff’s sales
and not sold.
Each property is appraised
at $14,000, and they are buildable lots, he added.
He noted that neighbors
have been maintaining the
properties, and they are
always mowed.
Mayor Neil MacKinnon
III agreed with the purchase,
adding, “It would be my recommendation to get the real
estate in good hands.”
If the city or school district
does not purchase the property, the state will seize the
property and likely will not
maintain it, Mr. Heban said.
However, the Ohio attorney general’s office issued an
opinion that cities or school
districts may be liable for
delinquent taxes on properties
they accept.
Mr. Heban said he is
unsure if that ruling will apply
in this case, but if it does the
total tax due is $4,000.
Council took similar
action in 2011, pursuing foreclosed land at 223 Bacon
Street that later was sold to
Habitat for Humanity, which
constructed a house.
“We’ve been seeing more
and more of these circumstances coming in,” City
Administrator Ed Ciecka said.
“We need to figure out
what do with them,” he said.
“Market them? We need to
have a strategy.”
2104 Budget
Council heard the first
reading of an ordinance establishing the 2014 municipal
budget.
“We started with the 2013
figures and asked department
heads for additional things
they’d like,” Finance Director
Karen Freeman said.
The proposed budget
includes funding for a new
full-time public works position and a new full-time
police officer, a public works
truck replacement and a used
bucket truck.
It also includes $1 million
for road improvements,
Dan Wagner, left, is sworn in as a new Rossford City
Council member by Mayor Neil MacKinnon III. Mr. Wagner,
who was elected by voters in the November 5 race, is
beginning his term early, filling the council seat left
vacant in August by Mike Scott. “I’d like to thank the community for putting their support behind me,” Councilman
Wagner said.
“although the projects are not
all identified,” she added.
Marina Committee
The Rossford marina saw
its highest number of rentals
this past summer, but it may
be time to raise marina fees,
Councilman Chuck Duricek
said.
The facilities, parks and
marina committee recently
discussed marina usage, and
the need to start a marina capital improvement fund, he
explained.
The new finger docks,
implemented several years
ago, have been popular, Mr.
Duricek added.
The committee discussed
the possibility of converting A
dock into finger docks, but
“the cost is prohibitive,” he
said. “I don’t think we’ll get
there.”
Other Business
In other business, council:
•Heard from Councilman
Greg Marquette that the zoning regulations and technology committee is recommending that parking on Helen
Drive should be limited to the
west side of the street only.
“Although we expect a lot
of complaints, we strongly
believe it will make for a safer
environment for the people
who reside there,” he added.
Council has discussed the
parking situation for more
than a year, after concerns
arose that fire trucks cannot fit
down the street with vehicles
parked on both sides.
•Heard a concern from
Councilman Jerry Staczek
about the upcoming 13.2 percent water rate increase from
the City of Toledo.
“We should start thinking
what it takes to get our own
water treatment plant,” he
said. “We have the assets, the
land, the river. I’d like to get
the discussion moving.”
•Approved a service
agreement between the city
and Siren Rossford LLC,
developers of the new
Camping World site.
Mayor MacKinnon said
the company is asking for
$75,000 of tax incremental
financing (TIF) funds to pay
for infrastructure, including
storm and sanitary sewer and
water lines in the Crossroads
area.
“That’s what it [the TIF
fund] is for,” the mayor
explained. “Over a period of
time, we’ll get that back–and
then some.”
•Authorized pay raises for
non-union city employees–
city administrator, $71,552;
public works superintendent,
$58,448; finance director,
$61,880; fire chief, $63,960;
police chief, $63,960; assistant fire chief, $18.50 per
hour; parks and recreation
director, $49,504; parks and
recreation assistant director,
$36,712, and clerk of council,
$4,800.
All raises are retroactive to
July 8, except the parks and
recreation assistant director,
which will go into effect
January 5, 2014.
Mayor MacKinnon said
the pay increases “are in line
with our neighbors of the
same size.”

‘Blue bag’ delivery may be regulated
The plastic bags of unsolicited newspapers that frequently pile up on lawns,
curbs and gutters around
Rossford may soon disappear.
At a November 12 meeting, Rossford City Council
heard the first reading of an
ordinance that would restrict
delivery of the “blue bags.”
Law Director Kevin
Heban said the ordinance is
based on a Kentucky ordinance that has withstood a
challenge in federal court.
“It doesn’t regulate the
content of the bags, but their
distribution,” he added.
City officials frequently
receive complaints about
bags being delivered on
driveways, sidewalks and at
the curbs.
The ordinance stems from
a concern “about the proliferation of litter and debris in the
community, which in turn
leads to the creation of nuisance conditions that decrease
property values in the area
and cause other social decay.”
The ordinance would
require all “unsolicited written materials”–such as newspapers and advertisements–
to be placed:
•in a distribution box
located on or adjacent to the
premises,
•on a porch nearest the
front door of the premises,
•securely attached to the
front door,
•through a mail slot on the
front door as permitted by the
U.S. Postal Service,
•between the exterior front
door, if unlocked, and interior
front door,
•personally to the owner
or occupant of the premises.
The ordinance does not
apply to newspapers received
through subscriptions nor to
the Post Office, Mr. Heban
said.
Placement of the materials
in any other areas than stated
would be a minor misdemeanor violation.
Council member Caroline
Zuchowski Eckel said the
ordinance would improve the
city’s problems with clogged
storm sewers, as they pile up
in the gutters and are pushed
by snowplows into the sewer
drains.
Councilman Dan Wagner
said he supports the ordinance
after witnessing, as a Toledo
police officer, how burglars
often target homes where the
bags are piled up.
Social Security planning
is focus of RBA meeting
The Rossford Business Association will gather
Wednesday, November 27, at noon, for a monthly luncheon
meeting. New members are welcome.
The meeting will feature a presentation by Stephen
Younker of the Miller Younker Group on “Social Security:
What you need to know for you, your parents and your
family.”
The meeting will take place at NECA/IBEW Electrical
Workers Hall, 727 Lime City Road, Rossford.
The lunch will be sponsored by Miller Younker Group.
All area business people interested in joining the RBA
are invited to attend the meeting.
Reservations are required. To make a reservation for
lunch, visit the RBA’s Web site www.rossfordba.com.
City tree lighting ceremony to be Nov. 25
Area residents are invited to kick off the
holiday season at 5:30 p.m., Monday,
November 25, at Rossford’s annual tree lighting ceremony.
The traditional Christmas season event
will take place on the front lawn of the municipal building, 133 Osborn Street.
Mayor Neil MacKinnon III, his wife
Camille, and children Neil IV and Nadia will
throw the switch for the lights on the ever-
green tree and the lights in the display on the
lawn.
Pastor Bob Ball of Rossford United
Methodist Church will give a blessing of the
tree.
The Rossford High School choir and band
will perform a medley of holiday music.
Cookies and hot chocolate will be served
after the ceremony in the lobby of the municipal building, before the city council meeting.

Tornado strikes Oregon Rd., Route 795 area
A severe thunderstorm–with high winds reminiscent of the Lake Township tornado several years ago–ripped through the area Sunday evening,
damaging numerous homes and businesses.
The National Weather Service confirmed Monday that the storm included a EF2 tornado, with winds reaching up to 125 miles per hour.
Clean-up began in earnest Monday morning, especially in the area of
State Route 795 and Oregon Road where the storm was most violent.
The roof over the gas pumps at the Circle K collapsed, and a halfdozen businesses in the Cedar Business Park were severely damaged.
Perrysburg Township Deputy Police Chief Mike Gilmore noted, “Cedar
Business Park was hit pretty hard,” adding that he would be surprised if it
isn’t determined to be the result of a tornado. “It looks like a war zone at
this point.”
There were no serious injuries and the deputy chief expressed relief
that the storm just missed the Friendly Village mobile home complex. “It’s
kind of a miracle.”
Above is the gas station seen from Oregon Road with the fallen roof
laying in the background.
In the foreground is aluminum sheathing from the commercial buildings that was strewn for more than a mile, crumpled into ditches, hanging
off roofs and twisted around trees and power lines.
Yellow insulation was scattered like snow across roads and yards, and
debris from the Cedar Park buildings was carried by high winds up to several miles away.
Buildings on Ponderosa Road suffered the brunt of the tornado-like
winds, including Video Products Distributors, pictured middle right and
bottom left, and Precision Strip Inc., middle left.
Across Route 795, in the Starbright housing subdivision, there were
roofs, siding and decks torn from houses, as pictured bottom right. Power
lines and trees were down and debris was scattered in the streets.
South of the city of Perrysburg along State Route 199, the high winds
felled power lines, cutting power to thousands of area residents into early
this week.
Rossford and Perrysburg Schools were closed Monday, as well.
A Rossford man arrested
on drug charges also has
confessed to committing
several burglaries in his
neighborhood.
Joshua R. Curtis, 19,
Helen Drive, was arrested
for abusing harmful intoxicants and receiving stolen
property, after a search
warrant was executed at his
home by the Rossford
Police Department.
Detective Sergeant Todd
Kitzler said Mr. Curtis
admitted to committing two
burglaries in his neighborhood.
Much of the stolen
items–including TVs, video
games and paintball equipment–has been recovered
from Toledo and Perrysburg pawnshops and second-hand stores, Detective
Kitzler said.
In Perrysburg Municipal
Court on November 8, Mr.
Curtis was sentenced to
180 days jail with credit for
time served and 169 days
suspended to serve in a
treatment program. He also
must pay $190 in restitution to the victim.
Apartment fire causes major damage
The Rossford Fire
Department was called at 11
p.m., November 16, to an
apartment fire at 331 Superior Street.
Fire Chief Jim Verbosky
said firefighters found a
large basement fire in the
rear apartments of the building that had spread to the
first and second floor apart-
ments, as well as the attic.
“The balloon type construction caused the fire to
rapidly extend throughout
the structure,” he explained.
The basement and both
apartments were heavily
damaged by the blaze, the
chief said.
All occupants were evacuated without injury, and no
Announcements
firefighters were injured, he
added.
The cause of the fire is
under investigation, according to the chief.
He did not provide an
estimated value of damages.
Perrysburg Township,
Northwood and Toledo fire
departments assisted at the
scene.

Area blood drive scheduled
The American Red
Cross will hold a blood
drive on Friday, November
29, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.,
at All Saints Catholic
School, 630 Lime City
Road, Rossford.
To
schedule
an
appointment, call 1-800733-2767 or visit redcrossblood.org for more

To be eligible to donate
blood, an individual must
be at least 17 years of age,
or 16 with parental permission, weigh a minimum of
110 pounds based on
height, and be in good general health. All donors need
to present valid identification.
The Western Lake Erie
Region serves 11 counties,
and needs to collect about
300 units of blood a day to
meet patient need in 24 hospitals.
I can’t believe it has been
50 years since that fateful
day in November of 1963.
And just thinking about it
now still brings tears to my
eyes and a piercing pain
through my heart. Our President had been assassinated.
What do you mean? We
knew that the great Abraham
Lincoln had been assassinated almost 100 years ago; we
learned that tragic story in
our history classes.
Here we were, eighthgraders at the newly opened
Rossford Junior High
School sitting in Mrs.
Rudolph’s English class on
the second floor, when a

13, did we really care about
politicians? But our President had been shot, fatally
wounded. We did not know
what to do. We all just sat
quietly at our desks. Even

who always had a quick
comeback to make us laugh
sat staring at the board.

At home with my mother, we watched the news on
our black and white TV.
The whole nation was in a
daze.
My cousin Karen St.
Julian was supposed to get
married that Saturday to
Gilbert McGee, and that was
a big decision. Should they
have the wedding and reception after our President was
just assassinated? Yes, they

was anticipating preparing
an after-school snack for my
four elementary school children when the incredible
announcement came over
the radio claiming that our
President had been shot.
My first thought was that
it just had to be some kind
of sick joke the radio staff
was playing. But I then
turned on the TV and saw
Walter Cronkite in tears and
knew it truly was bad news.
Since the report was that
President Kennedy was shot
but not dead, I turned to
prayer for him and his wife
and our country. What a
completely unexpected
shock to hear later that our
nation had lost its young,
dynamic leader.
I then had to find a way
to explain the terrible event
to my kids age 5 to 11. Not
an easy task.

•Approved an expense of
an additional $2,800 for the
fire department to purchase a
new roof ladder and 250 feet
of hose, which were damaged
in a recent fire.
Mrs. Freeman said the
expense will be submitted to
the insurance company, but
the city has a $1,000
deductible.
•Authorized a contract
without bidding for $20,720
with Ground Level Inc., for
demolition of the structure at
416 Glenwood Road, recently
damaged by fire.
•Heard a concern from a
resident about Senate Bill 58
and House Bill 302, which
would raise electric rates.
“To the point where we’re
paying for what we’re not
even using,” said Brenda
Bright Hagman of Windsor
Drive.
Mr. Ciecka recently attended a state briefing on the issue,
noting that Senator Randy
Gardner believes amendments
will be proposed to the bills.
The electric companies are
seeking reimbursement–
through increased rates–for
the rebates they offered to
consumers using high-efficiency appliances, he
explained.
“We’re monitoring this situation,” Mr. Ciecka said.
•Heard a concern from a
Glenwood Road resident
about speeding traffic on his
street, as well as numerous
dump trucks.
“It’s a brand new road and
they’re going to beat it up
quickly,” he said.
Council member Caroline
Zuchowski Eckel said the
newly-paved portion of Glenwood should be posted as a
“no haul” area, and the public
works committee will discuss
the problem.
Council’s next meeting
will be at 7 p.m., Monday,

The Ohio Senate recently
approved an amendment
sponsored by Senator Randy
Gardner that strives to end
open lake dumping of
dredged materials in Lake
Erie.
The Gardner amendment
reappropriates approximately
$1.6 million of existing state
funds toward conservation
practices in the counties of
the Western Lake Erie Basin
and specifically provides for
transferring money to the
Healthy Lake Erie Fund to
address open lake dumping.
“Lake Erie is one of
Ohio’s most important natural assets,” said Senator
Gardner in sponsoring the
amendment. “Open lake
dumping of dredge materials
is one of several factors we
believe contributing to algae
problems in Lake Erie. We
must be more aggressive in
our efforts to clean up the
lake.”
Senator Gardner’s amendment received the support of
agriculture groups, environmental organizations and
charter boat captains who
testified in the Senate Agriculture
and
Natural
Resources Committee on
Wednesday. He worked with
the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Ohio
Environmental Council and
received support from the
Ohio Farm Bureau for his
amendment.
“We must do all we can to
build bipartisan coalitions in
support of Lake Erie,” said
Mr. Gardner. “This effort
against Lake Erie dumping is
another important step.”
The Ohio Environmental
Council agrees.
“Senator
Gardner ’s
amendment offers a practical
bridge between the need to
dredge the Toledo harbor
with the need to protect Lake
Erie from harmful dredge
material,” said Kristy Meyer,
managing director of agricultural, health and clean water
programs with the Ohio
Environmental Council. “All
lawmakers should support
it.”
Senator Gardner said it
was important to note that
the challenges in supporting
a healthier Lake Erie became
even greater this year with
the reported second-worst
algal bloom season on
record.
“I appreciate Senator
Gardner sponsoring this
amendment and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman
Hite and the committee for
supporting it,” ODNR Director Jim Zehringer said. “This
will be an important first step
in addressing a possible
alternative to the open lake
disposal of dredge material
and the associated nutrients
that can impact Lake Erie.”
Senator Gardner’s amendment is included in legislation scheduled for a final
committee and Senate floor
vote. The bill and amendment will then be considered
by the House of Representatives in December.

ODOT prepares for winter from new facility
By Sean Maiolo
Like most area drivers,
ODOT workers are not
eagerly awaiting the freezing rain, snow, wind and
ice that plague area roads
every winter, But they are
confident that they can
better handle this year’s
frigid season from their
new home on Technology
Drive in Monclova Township.
Along with a host of
amenities and technologies, the new facility
places them only minutes
from the junction of two
main arteries–I-475 and
U.S. Route 24–something
transportation administrator Jeff O’Neal said is crucial this year given how
far the old Detroit Avenue
facility was from major
roads.
“This allows us to get
to our primary critical
routes faster than we did
before,” he said. “And
obviously Route 24 is new,
so there’s all that extra that
has been recently added
over the past couple years
with that new construction
that’s doubled the size of
that route for us.”
While their ability to
reach main roads faster
and more efficiently will
likely please drivers the
most, Mr. O’Neal and his
crew are equally happy
about new technology and
the benefits that come with
a new facility.
One of those is a much
larger salt dome. The old
salt shed’s maximum
capacity was less than
3,000 tons. The new one
more than doubles that at
7,500 tons and is fully
stocked.
The Ohio Department
of Transportation upgraded
facilities for the 32 trucks
in the Lucas County fleet.
All trucks housed at the
Monclova facility have
ample garage space and
are stored inside when
not in use–something that
should significantly extend
the lives of the vehicles.
Many trucks also are
retrofitted with stainless
steel beds which, Mr.
O’Neal said, “will last
longer than the trucks
themselves.”
Perhaps the most noteworthy change is the
statewide implementation
of a color scheme on the
rear of the vehicles along
with a green flashing light
to pair with the standard
orange and white lights.
“About 90 percent of
the district fleet has been
outfitted with the green
lights,” he said, adding
that the lights make the
trucks more visible to
motorists in bad weather.
ODOT is the first in the
country to utilize the
Perrysburg Township
and Perrysburg Christians
United are collecting items
for the 36th annual Operation Breadbasket.
Children’s toys and winter coats are needed. Donations of clean and usable
clothing in all sizes, blankets, gloves, hats, scarves,
shoes and boots also are
being accepted.
In addition to new and
slightly used toys and
clothing, the organization
is seeking cash donations,
non-perishable food items,
books and hygiene essentials.
Annie
HermanAlrabaya, co-organizer,
reminds residents that
donations to Operation

“Your donations help
our local neighbors in
need,” she said, adding that

Items may be taken to

In addition to the large
salt dome and large vehicle storage bay, the facility
features a new wash bay
with spray washers that
clean the undercarriage of
the vehicles.
Mr. O’Neal believes the
washing facility is efficient and safe. The water
from the wash is drained
on site to keep it out of the
sewer system. That same
water is then reused

annual income of less than
$30,500 per year. Anyone
who is currently age 65, will
turn 65 in 2013, or is permanently disabled, has until
June 2, 2014, to apply for the
Homestead Exemption with
no income requirement. Anyone who fails to do so by that
date or turns 65 after December 31, 2013, will be subject
to the new rules.
An applicant must own
and occupy his or her home
as their principal place of
residence as of January 1,
2013. A person has only one
principal place of residence,
therefore, the law allows for
only one exemption per
owner.
This will not affect residents currently receiving the
Homestead Exemption.
They will continue to receive
the savings as they have in
the past and need not reapply. The program exempts
the first $25,000 of market
value from taxation, yielding
an expected savings of $300$400 per year.
ing will be picked up by
families on Saturday,
December 21, between 9
a.m. and noon, at the township hall, 26609 Lime City
Road.
Prior to distribution volunteers will sort and bag
items at the township hall,
and additional volunteers
are always needed. Anyone
interested in helping is
asked to call 419-8728861.
Operation Breadbasket/
Perrysburg Christians United will provide items for
more than 100 families in
Perrysburg and Perrysburg
Township.
Ms. Herman-Alrabaya
said applications from families in need are being
accepted and may be
picked up at the township
offices.
She reminds families
that filling out an application does not guarantee
placement on the list.
Families will be notified
by mail of their acceptance,
she added.
he explained.
Brine production is
more efficient at the modernized facility. The transportation administrator
said crews can produce
three
times
more
brine–approximately 3,000
gallons per hour–than they
could at Detroit Avenue.
The new system, which
is automated, makes brine
production far more precise, he said.
Springfield and Monclova townships, which
have contracts with
ODOT, also benefit from
the new system. The townships’ vehicles can quickly
and accurately load brine
and pretreat their roads.
“It’s definitely a good
tool that we’ve come up
with over the years
[because] when you use
brine, you use less salt so
it’s a cost savings,” said
Mr. O’Neal. “We make it,
based on the salt price, and
water and everything. It’s
roughly less than 5 cents a
gallon [to produce].”
He noted that increasing the use of wetter and
heavier brine salt helps
prevent “bounce scatter,”
something that happens
when lighter regular salt
does not all stay on the
road.
“The roads get treated
faster and better, and that
increases the melt time so
that the snow starts melting as soon as it hits,” he
said.
This winter, ODOT
District Two will have
more than 1,700 plow
trucks and 3,000 trained
drivers clearing ice and
snow from state roads
throughout its eight- county area, which includes
Lucas and Wood counties.
Statewide ODOT maintains nearly 43,000 lane
miles of state highway.
Those roads carry about
two-thirds of the state’s
daily traffic.

An official portrait of the late U.S. Congressman and former Ohio Senate President Paul Gillmor was unveiled recently
in Columbus. “I had the honor of working for Mr. Gillmor for eight years as his district representative in his Wood County

•Assessing dual diagnosis
•Treating dual diagnosis
•The DSM-V’s (Diagnos-

dual diagnosis
•Dual diagnosis of adolescents

Why travel to Louisiana
for cajun cooking or to New
England for lobster when
both can be found close to
home?
In celebration of the cuisine that makes each region
of the country so delectable,
students in Penta Career
Center’s culinary arts program prepared meals from
nine states.
Patrons enjoyed samplesize servings from California, Hawaii, Louisiana,
Maryland, Massachusetts,
Mississippi, New York, Ohio
and Texas.
Among the foods offered
were California–ahi tuna
taco, cobb salad and a
Shirley
Temple;
Hawaii–roast pork saimin,
pineapple shaved ice with
candied macadamias and
mahi lau lau with coconut
rice; Louisiana– shrimp
gumbo, chicken and andoille
jambalaya and beignets;
Maryland–crab-cakes, Smith
Island cake and black eyed
Susan; Massachusetts–lobster roll, clam chowder and
English black tea; Mississippi–barbecue ribs with collard greens, banana pudding
and boiled peanuts; New
York–pizza, black and white
cookies and pastrami sandwiches; Ohio– popcorn,
apple pie and roast venison
with whipped potatoes, and
Texas–chili, chicken fried
steak and chocolate pecan
fudge.
Chef Janea Makowski
said the students created
Taste of the Nations last year
and wanted to expand on the
idea with a Taste of the States
this year.
“The kids picked the
states and researched the
recipes,” she said, adding
that they also had to determine how much they would

program, offers crab cakes at his Maryland station.
need to feed visitors to the
school restaurant for three
days.
The chef said the ingredients were readily available.
“I was worried about the
venison, but it was pretty
easy to get,” and she noted
that they even purchased live
lobsters. “It was nice to get
fresh seafood in.”
Students worked in
groups of three or four carefully crafting their recipes,
which were served at lunch
time November 13 to 15.
Patrons were able to purchase tickets for 50 cents
apiece and peruse the buffet
tables, selecting foods from
the various states
Christian Lau of Rossford
Schools, a senior in the culinary program worked on
food from Maryland.
“I got some of the ideas
from the Food Network,” he
said.
Logan Maenle, a senior in
culinary from Perrysburg
Schools prepared New York
style pizza, though he admitted that the crust did not
quite come out as soft as he
had hoped.
Patrons didn’t seem to
mind as they gobbled up the
entreé with its fresh mozzarella and basil.
Daisha Tisdale of Springfield Schools worked on
dishes from Mississippi.
“My original plan was
Georgia, but I got Mississippi, and I’m pretty glad. It
turned out well,” she said of
the ribs, pudding and
peanuts.
Funds raised from the
event will be used toward
student competitions.

‘I have been very fortunate–I have loved this job every day’
Municipal Court Judge S. Dwight Osterud guest speaker at Exchange Club
On December 31, Judge S.
Dwight Osterud will retire
after 24 years of presiding
over the Perrysburg Municipal
Court.
He was first elected in
1990 and re-elected in 1996,
2002 and 2008–serving four,
six-year terms.
Speaking at a recent dinner
meeting of the Perrysburg Ex-
Governor’s Award for Community Service in 1990 and
the Community Appreciation
Award from the Wood County
Council of Alcoholism and
Drug Abuse in 1992.
Judge Osterud is a member
of the Perrysburg Exchange
Club and served as president
in 1990. He is a member of
the Perrysburg Rotary Club, a
was at his new office at
Reynolds Corners.
“I brought in a desk, small
electric typewriter that I used
throughout my college career
and I had a phone installed,”
he said. “And I even had a
chair to sit on–that was it. At
10:30 a.m. that morning my
first call came–very exciting.
It was a wrong number. True
Municipal Court Judge S. Dwight Osterud will retire from the bench after 24 years
of service. Recently he spoke to members of the Perrysburg Exchange Club on his
experiences as a municipal court judge.
Pictured from left are: Brent Swartzmiller, Exchange Club president; Judge Osterud, and Roger Shoffner, Exchange Club vice president.
change Club, Judge Osterud
said he has seen “almost
everything” during his 24
years as municipal judge.
“Municipal court is sometimes called the ‘people’s
court,’” he told Exchange
members. “It is a limited jurisdiction and covers everything
from dog bites to preliminary
hearings for murder and
everything in between.”
The judge is a graduate of
Libbey High School and holds
a bachelor degree in education
and a Juris Doctor from the
University of Toledo. He practiced private law from 1974 to
1989 and served as an acting
judge for the court from 1982
to 1989 prior to seeking
elected office.
He is a member of the Municipal and County Judges of
Ohio, Inc. and the Toledo,
Lucas County, Wood County
and Ohio State bar associations.
The judge received the
board member of Prevention
Partners, Perrysburg Schools
Foundation and Historic Perrysburg, Inc. The judge also is
an advisor and institution representative for Law and Government Explorer Post 2306.
“A little side story for you.
You heard that I went to the
University of Toledo Law
School. I actually went to
night school and worked fulltime during the day at what is
now Lucas County Job and
Family Services,” the judge
told Exchange members. “It
was there that I met my wife
Judy. We got married September 1974 which was a major
leap of faith for her since she
married me without knowing
if I passed the bar exam or not.
I did pass and quit my job and
decided to practice law, which
did not set so well with Judy.”
The new attorney was
sworn in the Friday before the
Ohio State/Michigan game,
and on Monday morning he

story. But things went up from
there.”
In 1982, the lawyer became an acting judge for the
Perrysburg Municipal Court.
“I started out with small
claims and convictions and
gradually started handling
other cases,” he continued.
“And as I did this, I realized I
preferred being an independent finder of fact and decision
maker rather than an advocate.
In 1989, opportunity knocked
and Judge Judson Spore decided not to run again, so I
threw my hat in the ring. And
with a lot of help from Judy,
we were able to win that election.”
The judge confessed to Exchange members that when he
was a first year law student, he
did not know the difference
between a municipal court and
a common pleas court.
“And I certainly suspect
there are a lot of people who
don’t know the difference. But
I certainly found out,” he
added.
When speaking to various
groups of people, the judge
said he is invariably asked,
“What has been your funniest
case?”
“And I have to tell them,
court is not funny, court is sad.
We deal with people who
don’t want to be there,” he
said.

drive, sometime in your life
you are going to get a ticket. I
have gotten a ticket–of course,
that was before I was a judge.”
The municipal court handles mostly traffic cases, criminal misdemeanors and civil
cases, the judge said.
“Criminal misdemeanors
are serious and include domestic violence and drunk
driving cases,” he said.
“Those are real heart breakers.”
The judge added that over
the years, the social agencies
in the county and state have
developed treatment programs.
“In the 24 years that I have
been on the bench, there has
never been a conviction by a
jury for domestic violence,”
Judge Osterud said. “That
may seem astounding and in
fact it is, but the jury for whatever reason finds it very difficult to convict a person for
domestic violence. And those
jurors at the end of the day,
many of them are crying–it is
such an emotional situation.
“So what we have done is
develop, with the help of social service agencies, a treatment program for both men
and women. Yes, there are
women who commit domestic
violence. These programs
have worked. And the incentive to go through these programs is if you do it
successfully, the case is dismissed and you will not have
a record. If you are convicted
of domestic violence, that
does not go away, cannot be
expunged. And if you are
charged again, it is going to be
a felony.”
The judge also stated that
this is the same case for possession of marijuana–a minor
misdemeanor with driving
privileges suspended for six
months.
“The reason we do this is if
a young person has two convictions, they are cut out of
any kind of federal loan for
educational purposes,” he explained. “One of the first
questions on an application
for a loan for school is, ‘have
you ever been convicted of a
drug offense?’ So this is an out
for those who are in that fix.”
Another duty of a municipal court judge is performing
marriage ceremonies. And
over the 24 years, Judge Osterud has performed between
1,500 and 2,000 wedding ceremonies.
“I have done so many that
although I have a script, I
don’t look at it,” he said. “I
have had some really interesting wedding. Several years
ago, I did a wedding in French
and English. And at one ceremony when I asked the
groom, ‘do you take this
woman as your wife,’ there
was silence. He finally said, ‘I
don’t think so.’ That was a
first for me.”
Judge Osterud said the
most heart wrenching cases,
and he has had a half-dozen in
24 years, is vehicular homicide.
“That is where there is no
alcohol involved–there is an
accident and there is a death,”
he explained. “And that person who caused the accident is
charged. Usually they go be-
fore the grand jury and if they
reject it as a felony, then I will
get it. It is so difficult because
that is the kind of case where
the victims can make an impact statement and there is
nothing more heart wrenching
than listening to that sadness.”
The judge gives credit to
his staff for the success of the
municipal court.
“If I have been successful
as a judge, it has not been entirely my doing,” he said. “I
have surrounded myself with
the best people I can get. I
have probably the best, in my
opinion, the best court staff
around. And I say that because
I get feedback from our
lawyers and visiting judges
who come into our courtroom.
They will always compliment
my staff. They are very
knowledgeable, and they have
a difficult job. They are dealing with people who do not
want to be there–some have a
chip on their shoulder and
some of them are very confused. They deal with them
very successfully.”
Judge Osterud’s retirement
plans include becoming a visiting judge, some travel and
continuing with his Explorer
Post and mock trial teams.
“I will continue with mock
trial–I am not going to walk
away from that,” he said.
“That takes up about six
months of the year–a lot of
time, but it is such a great program. We have the most students we have ever had–40
students with four teams.”
The judge explained that
the program is funded by an
annual seminar that he offers
to lawyers.
The judge also told the
club that once he retires he can
no longer be called “judge.”
“By the way, you can call
me judge now, but according
to an opinion issued by the
Board of Commissioners on
Grievances and Discipline issued in June once I leave the
office I cannot be referred to
as a former judge, a retired
judge or the honorable,” he
said. “You can call me ‘hey
you,’ but according to this
opinion to use the term judge
is unethical. Only if I am a visiting judge in the courtroom
can you call me judge.”
The judge said he has been
very fortunate to have been an
elected official for 24 years.
“I have loved this job
every day–it is different each
day,” he said in closing. “You
can imagine, you don’t know
what is going to happen. Yes,
you have cases docketed, and
yes these people are charged
with various offenses and the
law is what it is for each offense. But they are all different people, different set of
circumstances and they react
differently. And in a lot of instances, I believe we have
been able to make a positive
impact.”
Judge Osterud has certainly made a positive impact
not only for the people in the
courtroom but also for the
people in the community.
Thank you for your years of
service.
You will be missed on the
bench, said Exchange Club
members.

Pet food donations sought
Mobile Meals of Toledo is
holding its annual Season of
Suppers campaign.
Now in its seventh year,
the goal is to feed pets of
homebound seniors and
clients who receive meals
from the meal program. The
program calls attention to the
importance of pets to the wellbeing of homebound seniors.
Helping keep these companion pets well fed, healthy and
part of the family for as long
as possible became the motivating factor behind the campaign.
Donations off pet food and
monetary donations to purchase food will be accepted at
Graber’s Animal Hospital,
3311 West Laskey Road,
Toledo. Drop-off hours are
Monday through Friday, from
8 a.m. to noon, and from 1:30
to 6 p.m., and Saturday, from
8 a.m. to noon. Checks can be
made payable to Mobile
Meals of Toledo.
“We know that many of
our clients are compromising
their own nutrition by sharing
their meals with their pets,
often their best friend and
companion. The more service
Mobile Meals can provide for
pets leads to better health and
a longer life for both the meal
client and their pet,” said Carolyn Fox, associate executive
director of Mobile Meals.

‘The Battle of Fort Stephenson’
to be topic of lecture at Ft. Meigs
Mike Waskul and Dave
Washburn, independent researchers and historians,
will present “The Battle of
Fort Stephenson” on Thursday, November 21, at 7:30
p.m., at the Fort Meigs visitor center in Perrysburg.
The presentation is free
and open to the public.
Doors open at 7 p.m.
After the Second Siege
of Fort Meigs, British general Henry Proctor withdrew
his forces, but instead of retreating back to Canada he
marched to present-day Fremont, Ohio, to attack Fort
Stephenson.
In the first two days of
August of 1813, British and
Native American forces attacked Fort Stephenson.
U.S. troops, under the command of Major George
Croghan, withstood the attack and inflicted enough
casualties on the attacking
forces to cause their withdrawal.
The battle had been a
victory for the Americans.
George Croghan emerged
from the battle as a hero,
and in the following months,
the Americans won decisive
victories at the battles of
Lake Erie and the Thames.
Join Mr. Waskul and Mr.
Washburn as they explore
the events of this decisive
battle.
Mr. Waskul is a long time
student, researcher and lecturer on the War of 1812.
For the past nine years he
has teamed with Mr. Washburn and together they have
made numerous presentations on subjects related to
the War of 1812.
Mr. Washburn has had a
lifelong interest in studying
military history and collecting 19th century militaria.
These interests led to a
moving with spirited dance
routines between musical performances.
At 8 p.m., a special guest
will help lead the crowd in a
countdown to bring more than
150,000 lights to life on the
50-foot tree. Fans of Levis
Commons can be a part of all
the excitement by entering to
win the First Family of Levis
contest.
One lucky family will win
a night to remember as they

Ohio’s laws defining the
units of measurement for
firewood sales.
Mr. Sibbersen recommends consumers protect
themselves from fraud by
following these tips when
purchasing firewood:
•Buy firewood by the
“cord”–Ohio Law protects
consumers by requiring that
firewood be sold by the cord
or fraction of a cord. Other
measurements such as “rick,”
“rack,” “facecord,” or “truck
load” are illegal and strictly
prohibited.
•Firewood is defined as:
any kindling, logs, boards,
timbers or other wood, split
or not split, advertised, offered for sale, or sold as solid
fuel.
•A cord is defined as 128
cubic feet in volume when
well stowed and tightly
stacked. Traditionally a cord
is a stack of wood eight feet
long by four feet high and
four feet wide. A properly
stacked cord of wood should
have pieces placed parallel to
each other in a compact manner. Firewood is frequently
sold at grocery stores in
small bundles which are
measured in fractions of
cubic feet. Such packaging
would be in compliance with
the law.
•Get a receipt–Firewood
sellers must provide a sales
invoice to buyers. It must
contain the name and address
of the seller and buyer, delivery date, quantity delivered,
quantity upon which the
price is based, total price of
amount delivered and the
identity of the product in descriptive terms.
•Inquire about the sourcecitizens should inquire about
the source of any firewood
they buy and avoid purchasing ash logs.
Ohio Department of Agriculture has enacted a quarantine that prohibits the
movement of any ash material, including firewood,
from areas where the Emerald Ash Borer has been
found in Lucas, Wood and
many other counties. There
is a $4,000 fine for bringing
any ash tree material or firewood into Ohio from Michigan.

RHS drama
production
set for Jan.
The Rossford High School
Drama Club, under the direction of Julie Zatko and Ryan
Mahaffey, are in rehearsals for
the upcoming January production of “The Seussification of
A Midsummer
Night’s
Dream” by Ken Bloedel.
The Bard’s beloved romantic comedy gets the full
Seuss treatment in this playful
adaptation. Two madcap Narrators chronicle the tale of
four Athenian lovers–Hermia
and Demetrius and Helena
and Lysander–as they wander
through a mystical Seussian
forest full of whoosh bush
tush beasts and fairies dueling
with bumballoon swords.
Told in rhyming couplets,
this reimagining is how
Shakespeare’s magical tale
might have played if Dr. Seuss
had gotten his hands on it.
The grade-school-geared,
family-friendly production
runs January 23 through 26,
on the Wilcox Stage in the auditorium at Rossford High
School. Thursday through Saturday performances will be at
7:30 p.m., with a Sunday
matinee at 2 p.m. General admission is $6.

Indian Hills, Eagle Point Elementary students honor veterans as U.S. heroes
On Election Day, Indian
Hills Elementary School and
on Veterans Day, Eagle Point
Elementary School had the
opportunity to celebrate veterans–the real heroes of the
United States of America.
The students, many attired
in red, white and blue, assembled in the gym to sing a
dozen patriotic songs such as
“50 Nifty United States,”
“The Star Spangled Banner,”
“This Land Is Your Land” and
“The Stars and Stripes Forever.”
A number of poems and
reflections were read by the
fifth and sixth graders about
veterans, too. Several songs
were led by student soloists,
trios, and quartets, and one
song, “Peace Is The World,”
included all students signing
the words.
Mrs. Krolavic, Eagle Point
secretary, shared some of her
pictures from Washington,
D.C., as she had the opportunity to be a chaperone for the
Honor Flight from Northwest
Ohio this past July. Also, via
technology, students heard
from two former Marines,
Dan Mikolas and TJ Mikolas.
Dan is the husband of third
grade Indian Hills teacher
Dawn Mikolas.
High school sweethearts,
they have two children, Jack,
9, and Lyla, 5.
TJ is Mrs. Mikolas’
brother-in-law, and he has a
daughter, Avery, 4.
These men come from a
long line of family veterans,
and served in the military
from 1995 to 1999 and from
Pictured at the assembly in red, white and blue are, front row: Sadie St. Mary, Sophia Helton, Emma Moore, Jaydah

2001 to 2004. Both men
earned the rank of sergeant.
They both grew up in Graytown, Ohio, and still live there
today.
Dan Mikolas served in
Hawaii, Japan, Australia,
Korea and Indonesia. TJ
served in Iraq and Camp
Pendleton, California. Dan
was an infantry man and
squad leader during his time
of service to our country. TJ
was a military radio operator.
Jeff Taylor, principal at
Eagle Point, and Lee
Marciniak, custodian at Indian Hills are also veterans.
All Saints school students learn calligraphy
Students in the grades 5
through 8 at All Saints
Catholic School have been
discovering the beauty and
complexity of the art of calligraphy. The students were
first exposed to an awareness
of the ancient script when
they had an opportunity to
see, study and reflect upon the
visiting St. John’s Manuscripts, a rare and special
Bible, of which several prints
are on display now at All
Saints Catholic Church.
The Bible’s words of
Scripture are written in calligraphy on 1,150 pages in seven
volumes and accompanied by
160 illuminations, or pieces of
gold embossed artwork.
The students had a guided
tour and prayer meditation experience with Fr. Kent Kaufman and their teachers, as
well as a video viewing experience to deepen their understanding of the technical
process of calligraphy and illuminated finishing.

RHS girls basketball
excited to compete
for league title
By Michael Krieger
First year coach Eric
Simon believes the Rossford
Lady Bulldogs basketball
team should compete for the
Northern Buckeye Conference championship when
they tip off the 2013-14 season tomorrow night at home
against Oak Harbor.
Last year’s team posted a
league record of 10-4 and
finished second place in the
final league standings.
A core of players from
that squad will return for
this season.
The Lady Bulldogs will
look to seniors Margo Jackson and Maddie York for
leadership on the floor.
Senior Julie Hotz also
brings athleticism to the
equation and will be expected to contribute in several
areas,
especially
scoring.
Jessica Pietrasz and
Kelly Swope will play a significant role for the team,
especially if Swope, who is
recovering from an injury,
can get healthy.
In addition to the senior
leadership for Rossford,
Simon believes junior guard
Kirsten Keller will add some
intensity for the girls.
Depth is a problem, however. With only 15 girls in
the entire program from junior varsity to varsity, the
Lady Bulldogs will lean
heavily on their seniors, but
also will need to give key
minutes to the underclassmen on the team.
Simon, even though new
to the Rossford program, is
not new to coaching girls’
basketball.
He spent the past 10
years coaching at Springfield High School as the
freshman, JV and assistant
varsity coach.
His coaching philosophy
involves playing an uptempo offense that allows
the girls to run the floor and
to look for good, early shots.
He wants his team to apply
a man-to-man pressure defense to create turnovers and
transition baskets.
“My major emphasis is
no turnovers,” said Simon,
who believes that despite the
lack of depth, his team is
ready to compete for an
RHS basketball to host
Moonlight Madness Sat.
Join the hoopla by supporting this season’s Rossford High School basketball
program on Saturday, November 23, at Joe Stalma
Court in the RHS gymnasium. The doors will open at
7 p.m.
First on the agenda is an
Alumni Game from 7:30 to
8:30 p.m.
Any Rossford Bulldog
alumni player who would
like to participate can contact Brian Vorst, boys varsity
basketball coach, through
the high school office at
419-666-5262, extension
1219, or sign up online at
www.ross fordbulldogbasketball.com.
The program also will include the introduction of
athletes, shooting contests,

cheerleading, dancing and
more.
Moonlight Madness will
end with a rally to introduce
and support the varsity girls
and boys basketball coaches
and players.
Admission to the rally is
a donation of canned foods
or $2. The SOS Club also
will accept donations of
items for military personnel
serving overseas.
The RHS varsity girls basketball team members: first row– Maddie York. Second row–Kirsten Keller, Nicole Beyer,
Heather Schaller, Jessica Pietrasz, Margo Jackson. Third row–Coach Eric Simon, Julie Hotz, Haley Gozdowski,
Cheyenne Davis, Kelly Swope, Coach John Walker.
NBC championship in his
first season.
He is certain that they are
talented.
“If we don’t turn the ball
over and if we make shots,
we will compete for an NBC
title and achieve our goal of
a tournament run,” Simon
“Oak Harbor has a similar style–they like to get it
up and down the floor, too.
They have one player that
we will really need to watch,
but we’re ready for the challenge and we’re excited to
start the season,” Simon
said.
said with confidence.
The first challenge of the
girls’ season comes Friday
when they square off against
the Oak Harbor Rockets in
the George G. Wolfe Field
House.
Coach Simon expects it
will be a good match-up.
The votes have been tallied, and the winning name for the All Saints Catholic School’s
falcon mascot is Felix.
All Saints students voted for their favorite name and “Felix” is now the official name
of the falcon who helps generate spirit and support at school activities and events.
