School district to close Drug charges dismissed
against RHS teacher
three more buildings
VOLUME 75, NUMBER 50 – DECEMBER 11, 2014
As part of continuing
cost-cutting measures, the
Rossford School District
will close three auxiliary
buildings and transfer
offices to the former Indian
Hills Elementary.
Rossford Superintendent
Dan Creps sent a letter by
email December 5 to school
parents explaining the consolidation plan, describing it
as “the responsible move for
the district at this time.”
Among the benefits, the
shuttering of the Student
Services, Bulldog Center
and board of education
buildings will save about
$30,000 in utility costs, plus
maintenance and repair
expenses, he said.
“Having central staff
positions at one location will
improve internal communications, increase rapport
amongst staff and strengthen
department collaboration,”
Mr. Creps said.
By December 15, the
Student Services building
on Dixie Highway will be
closed and offices transferred to Indian Hills.
Indian Hills was closed
in June when the school
board consolidated grades K
to 2 at Eagle Point
Elementary, grades 3 to 5 at
Glenwood Elementary, and
moved grade 6 to the junior
high.
Classes no longer take
place at Indian Hills, but the
building has been used by
information technology and
buildings and grounds staff.
At a November 2 meeting, the board of education
directed Mr. Creps and
treasurer James Rossler Jr.
to calculate the cost savings
of closing the auxiliary
buildings.
The
superintendent
acknowledged that the move
typically would have taken
place over the summer.
However, over the
Thanksgiving weekend the
boiler at the Student
Services building failed,
causing complete loss of
heat.
“We are evaluating the
situation and estimates to
replace this original equipment, which was installed in
1943, are ranging between
$15,000 and $20,000,” he
explained.
Mr. Creps believes the
single location for all offices
will be more convenient for
parents.
“On many occasions,
families looking to register
new students have visited
the board office, only to be
redirected to our Student
Services building,” he said.
The board of education
office at 601 Superior
Street, previously a bank
that was renovated by the
school district, will re-open
January 5 at Indian Hills.
Beginning in January,
school board meetings no
longer will take place at
Bulldog Center, 719 Dixie
Highway, as that building
will be closed.
Mr. Creps said board
meetings will be at Indian
Hills–the only function at
that site.
“This will allow us to
hold utility costs to a minimum at the Indian Hills
site,” he added.
Once closed to district
business, the three buildings
will be “winterized,” or
maintained at minimum utility levels until the school
board determines the next
step, he said.
Overall, the superintendent believes the building
closures will provide cost
savings until a long-term,
comprehensive school facilities plan is finalized.

Drug trafficking charges
filed last week against a
Rossford High School
teacher have been dismissed
by the Rossford Police
Department.
Instead, officers are investigating another suspect who
framed Todd Eckel, 42, of
Hannum Avenue, by attaching containers of marijuana
to the underside of the
teacher’s vehicle.
“There was enough evidence to show that Todd
Eckel was not involved in
placing the marijuana on his
car–and he had no knowledge of it,” Rossford Police
Chief Glenn Goss said.
Mr. Eckel was arrested
December 1, and charged
with trafficking in drugs, a
fourth-degree felony, after
the police department’s
canine indicated drugs on the
vehicle in the high school
parking lot.
Mr. Eckel is a physical
education teacher and has
served as a football and track
coach at RHS.
Chief Goss said he consulted with the Wood County
prosecutor’s office last
Friday morning, and they
agreed to drop the charges.
Rossford Mayor Neil
MacKinnon III announced at
a press conference Friday
afternoon that the charges
had been dismissed.
“The people involved in
this will be brought to justice,” he said.
Due to the ongoing investigation, the mayor said city
officials could not comment
further about the case.
Rossford
Schools
Superintendent Dan Creps,
who attended the press conference, said Mr. Eckel was
placed on administrative
leave with pay as of Tuesday,
December 2.

He has performed with

and Peter Erskine.
His travels have taken
him to Europe and Japan.
He enjoyed Japan so much
he went twice–once staying

The suspension was to
become unpaid beginning
Friday, December 5.
However, when the
charges were dropped, his
employment was reinstated
as of Monday, December 8.
“Due to the unusual circumstances of the situation,
Mr. Eckel will not lose pay
for the period of time he was
placed on the unpaid leave of
absence,” Mr. Creps said.
Chief Goss said Mr.
Eckel’s attorney will pursue
the option to have the court
records sealed.
The police chief believes
his officers acted appropriately at the outset of the case.
“The officers did the right
thing at the right time and
right place,” he said. “There
was enough probable cause
to arrest him based on the
evidence at the scene.”
Law Director Kevin
Heban agreed, explaining,
“When officers are at the
scene, they usually call the
Wood County prosecutor’s
office. They went through the
proper channels and received
the direction to file the
charges.”
Chief Goss said the investigation continued and
revealed new evidence.
“What happened afterward, the officers and the
detective gathered enough
information to show he was
put in the position of looking
like a criminal when he wasn’t,” the chief said. “The
charges were dismissed
based on good police work.”
Chief Goss said interviews now are being conducted, evidence gathered
and results are expected from
the state crime lab. Police
also are looking into the
source of the marijuana.
At press time, a new suspect had not been arrested.
Following his arrest, Mr.

Eckel was supported by
numerous community members who doubted his guilt.
“It is great to know that
everyone now understands
that I am completely innocent and did absolutely nothing wrong,” he said.
“I also want to thank all of
the people who have worked
so hard to find the truth and
those that didn’t even know
me, but came forward and
saved my life by saying what
they knew.”
“Considering I have never
sold or done an illegal drug
or even smoked a single cigarette in my life, this has all
been so surreal,” he added.
Mr. Eckel said his
Christian faith provided support during the crisis.
He also appreciated “the
incredible outpouring of love
and support by the great people of Rossford, Ohio–my
town, the town I grew up in,
coach in, and teach in has
been overwhelming.
“Thank you to all of the
wonderful
people
of
Rossford for believing in
me,” he said. “Thank you for
letting me know I have made
a difference.”

Nearly one month after
debate began on funding for
the police department, the
Perrysburg
Township
trustees approved a tentative
budget for 2015.
At the December 3 meeting, the trustees approved a
budget of $10.38 million,
which includes $3.3 million
for the police department.
Trustee Gary Britten said
he met with Administrator
Walt Celley and Police Chief
Mark Hetrick to trim the
department’s budget.
“We worked on it pretty
hard. Everyone did a really
good job whittling this
down,” said the trustee,
adding that the department
will still fall short by
$760,000, which will be
made up from the general
fund.
Mr. Britten said the
department’s original estimate of revenues at
$3,366,000 assumed a carryover of $300,000 and a tax
collection rate of 100 percent. But the department has
no carryover, and the township typically has a collection rate of about 85 percent.
“So the $3.36 million
was pretty much a bogus
number,” he explained.
Making adjustments for
those factors led to an estimated $2.59 million in revenue. Mr. Britten said the
SWAT team was cut, as was
the crime scene unit and
bike patrol. Additionally,
officers retiring from the
department will not be
replaced, and sergeants will
be placed on road duty to
help with patrols and reduce
overtime.
Mr. Britten said the threesome talked about reducing
the detective bureau to two,
but believes the bureau is
overwhelmed with work.
“If we can keep it at
three, that’s great,” said the
chief.
The trustee acknowledged that staffing accounts
for the greatest part of the
police budget. “That’s where
the money is–salaries, insurance,” he said.
He admitted that $3.3
million is “still a big number, but it could be a lot
worse. All in all, I’m happy
at the end of the day.”
Trustees Craig LaHote
and Bob Mack expressed
their appreciation to Mr.
Britten for his help, and Mr.
LaHote believes assuming a
lower tax collection rate is a
“good practice.”
Mr. Mack noted the
importance of monitoring
department overtime. “That
will help significantly,” he
said.
The trustee spoke with
court officials, about tying
up an officer’s time when in
court, and asked them to “be
sensitive to our financial situation.”
The budget also includes
a reduction in township vehicles going home with supervisors, effective in April.
Other Business
In other business, the
trustees:
•Reappointed residents
Daniel Restle and Barb
Harbauer to serve on the fire
department’s dependency
board.
•Approved two purchase
orders to Gerken Paving for
work on White Road,
$120,000, and storm sewer
and other work at Hufford,
Windford and Woodland
roads, $205,000.
•Reappointed
Russell
Miller to the board of zoning
appeals for a five-year term.
Russell Sturgill and Linda
Wilker were appointed to
one-year terms as alternates
on the BZA.
The trustees also appointed Richard Kelsey to a fiveyear term on the zoning commission
and
Jeffrey
Normand and Chuck Ore to
one-year terms as alternates.
•Authorized Fire Chief
Tom Brice to file for an
assistance to firefighters
grant.
•Approved a lighting district for Woodmont plat 6.
•Set meeting dates for
2015. The trustees will meet
at 6 p.m. on the first and third

November 11, when township offices will be closed for

•Approved a radio contract for the fire department
with Lucas County at a cost
of $4,830.
•Authorized a payment
increase of $1,650 to
perryproTech to cover the
cost of password recovery
issues with the computer system.
•Heard
from

a natural gas pipeline
through the township. “It’s
going through my property
said Jodi Johnson.
Chris Krall of Krall Space
Storage said he received a
letter with an offer for an
easement on his parcel.
The trustees said they
have heard about plans to run
a gas line through the township, but have received no
information from the company performing the work.
The next trustees meeting
will be at 6 p.m., Wednesday,
December 17, in the township meeting hall, 26609
Lime City Road, and is open
to the public.

After a long year of construction chaos, the Hillside
Drive sewer/road project is
wrapping up before the winter
weather arrives.
Although some work still
will be needed next spring,
Mayor Neil MacKinnon III
said the pavement has been
installed on the street.
At a Monday evening
meeting, Rossford City
Council authorized another
change order, totaling $9,130,
to pay for cold weather concrete to be used in the curb
and gutters.
The change order brings
the total cost for contractor Ed
Kelly and Sons to $206,456.
The Northwestern Water
and Sewer District finished its
sanitary sewer and water line
replacement on Hillside this
fall. The city is completing a
storm water line replacement,
widening the street and
adding curbs, gutters and
sidewalks.
City Administrator Ed
Ciecka told council last
month that the latest delays
were in part caused by conflicts with utility lines not
being located as indicated on
maps.
The cost of the storm
water portion of the project,
with work being done by
Vernon Nagel Inc., is
$354,885.
Other Business
In other business, council:
•Heard from Mayor
MacKinnon that Rossford
had been strongly considered
as a location for the
Andersons corporate headquarters.
“We were in the final
round,” he said, adding that
city officials were told they
had offered “the best and
most creative final package.”
The Andersons selected
Monclova Township in
November, leaving their
Maumee location.
Mayor
MacKinnon
thanked Mike and Dan
Anderson, Glenn Underwood
and Scott Ziance for their
cooperation in working with
the city.
“They are a Fortune 500
company and an asset to
northwest Ohio,” the mayor
added.
•Authorized a zoning
change for two duplexes at 8
and 10 Vineyard Drive.
Michael Staczek, the property owner, had requested the
change from R-1B moderate
density single family residential to R-2 double family residential.
The change was recommended by the city planning
commission.
Under the old zoning clas-
sification, new bank regulations would not have allowed
financing for reconstruction
of the units if they were damaged by fire or otherwise.
Council voted 6-0 to
approve the new zoning, with
Councilman Staczek abstaining because the owner is his
brother.
•Heard Councilman Dan
Wagner thank Chief Goss for
working with ODOT to
improve the Crossroads
Parkway and State Route 795
intersection.
“Since the double left turn
lanes were added, I don’t
think there’s been an accident,” the councilman said.
“It’s made that intersection
much safer.”
•Voted again to table an
ordinance on feral cats.
Mayor MacKinnon said
he would like to invite representatives from the Humane
Society and Humane Ohio to
talk to council about their
options.
•Rejected
two
bids
received
from
Waste
Management and Republic
Services for garbage and
recycling collection in the
city.
Council must decide
whether to continue the current service, which would
cost more, or contract for
reduced service at a lesser
expense.
The finance committee is
discussing options for three or
four containers of garbage
weekly, every-other-week
service, and the use of mobile
carts or “toters.”
Council also voted to
extend the city’s contract,
which expires December 31,
for another six months with
Waste Management at the
current rate.
“While we go through the
rebidding of the contract, we
need
an
extension,”
Councilman Robert Ruse
said.
•Approved by a 5-2 vote
the mayor’s appointment of
Melanie Sayre of Jennings
Road to a four-year term on
the planning commission.
Councilman Jerry Staczek
said he voted no because he
believes Bob Densic should
have been re-appointed to the
commission after serving for
more than 15 years.
Council President Larry
Oberdorf also voted against
the appointment.
Council’s next meeting is
7 p.m., Monday, December
22, at the municipal building,
133 Osborn Street, and is
open to the public.
The meeting may be canceled if there is no business to
finalize before the end of the
year.
New bishop to visit All Saints December 15
After his installation in
late October, Toledo Catholic
Bishop Daniel Thomas hit the
ground running, with a schedule that had him visiting
parishes across the 19-county
diocese.
The last visit on his itinerary will be at All Saints
Catholic Church, on Monday,
December 15.
Father Kent Kaufman,
pastor of All Saints, said
everyone is invited for
Vespers, an evening prayer
service, at 7 p.m.
A reception will follow in
the McAlear Center where
people can meet the bishop.
In August, Pope Francis
announced that he was
appointing Bishop Thomas to
be the eighth bishop of
Toledo, replacing Bishop
Leonard Blair, who was
named
Archbishop
of
Hartford, Connecticut.
A Philadelphia native,
Bishop Thomas graduated
from St. Charles Borromeo
Seminary in Wynnewood,
Pennsylvania
and
was
ordained in 1985.
In 1987, he undertook
graduate studies in dogmatic
theology at the Pontifical
North American College in
Rome, earning his Licentiate
of Sacred Theology from
the Pontifical Gregorian
Bishop Daniel Thomas will visit All Saints Catholic
Church on Monday, December 15, for a public reception.
University in 1989.
He was an official of the
Congregation for Bishops in
the Roman Curia for 15
years, from 1990 to 2005,
while serving as spiritual
director to seminarians of the
North American College.
In 2006, he was named
an auxiliary bishop for
the
Archdiocese
of
Philadelphia–at age 46,
becoming
the
secondyoungest bishop in the United
States.
In addition to his native
English, Bishop Thomas,
who is 55, speaks Italian and
Spanish.
At the August press conference
where
Bishop
Thomas was introduced to
the area, he said, “I certainly
look forward to getting to
know you, all of our rural,
suburban and urban parishes,
all the institutions and ministries of the diocese.”
“I look forward to my first
meal at Tony Packo’s, to my
first Mud Hens game, to trying some of the treats at the
Spangler Candy Co. I look
forward to enjoying Lake
Erie, my first time to the
Toledo opera, the symphony
and the museum of art, to
rooting for Ohio State, and to
figuring out how in the world
to walk the tightrope between
rooting for Toledo, Detroit,
Cincinnati or Cleveland
teams.
“Most of all, I look forward, as your Bishop, to
preaching the Gospel of our
Lord Jesus Christ, to celebrate the Sacraments, especially the Most Holy
Eucharist, to teach and
defend our Catholic faith, to
lead and strengthen you so
that together we might be
more vibrant and courageous
disciples of the Lord.
“In so doing, it is my fervent hope and prayer that the
weak and the vulnerable, the
poor and the needy, indeed all
of us, might experience more
deeply the love and mercy of
Christ.”

Area blood
drives scheduled
The American Red Cross
encourages eligible blood
donors to give one last gift this
holiday season and discover
the true meaning of giving by
donating blood.
Busy holiday schedules
and seasonal illnesses, like the
flu, can often mean fewer
donors giving blood. But for
patients with cancer or other
illnesses or injuries requiring
blood transfusions, the need
for blood is constant and doesn’t get a holiday break. The
gift of a blood donation only
takes about an hour and can
give patients a chance to celebrate more holidays to come.
To encourage donations
and show appreciation, all
those who attempt to donate
blood December 24 through
January 4, 2015, will receive a
long-sleeve Red Cross T-shirt,
while supplies last.
Eligible donors with all
blood types are needed, especially those with type O negative, A negative or B negative.
Upcoming blood donation
opportunities:
•December 23, from 7 a.m.
to 7 p.m., at Hilton Garden
Inn, 6165 Levis Commons,
Perrysburg.
•December 23, from 7:30
a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at ProMedica St. Luke’s Hospital, 5901
Monclova Road, Maumee.
•December 27, from noon
to 5 p.m., at Signature HarleyDavidson, 1176 Professional
Drive, Perrysburg.
To schedule an appointment, call 1-800-733-2767 or
visit red crossblood.org for
more information.
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.
Rossford residents Bob
and Tiffany Densic again are
displaying “The Ageless
Child’s Christmas” on Birch
Drive.
The computerized Christmas light show features a
new layout with more than
63,000 lights synchronized
to the music of the TransSiberian Orchestra.
While watching the display, passing motorists can
listen to the music on radio
station 97.7 FM.
Donations are being
accepted for an AIDS
orphanage in Honduras
sponsored by “Beyond Our
Walls” of CedarCreek
Church.
In the eight years that the
Densics have hosted the
light display, they have
raised $5,000 for the charity.
The show, in the front
yards of the Densics and
neighbor Tina Graffis, is at
107 and 109 Birch Drive off
of Eagle Point Road.
Show hours are 5:30 to
10 p.m.
The Densics request visitors be respectful of the
neighbors by keeping their
car radios low, their car windows up and stay clear of
driveways.
Items sought for toy collection
Four organizations at Rossford High School are coordinating a toy collection for families in need at Christmas
and asking the community for donations.
“Toys for Needy Families” started Monday, December
8 and will continue until Thursday, December 18.
Rossford School District’s Teen Institute, varsity basketball team, DECA Club and Book Club are collecting
toys for families in need in the community.
“The entire community is invited to participate in this
program to assist families in the Rossford School District,” said Jim Snider, advisor for the Teen Institute. “By
working together, we hope to fill Rossford High School’s
main office with toys.”
Toy donations may be dropped off at the RHS main
office or brought to the Rossford home basketball game
this Saturday, December 13, at 7:30 p.m., when the Bulldogs take on the Defiance Bulldogs.
For more information, contact Mr. Snider at 419-6665262, extension 1304.

Now is the time to check your mailbox to make sure
that it will withstand the upcoming winter snows.
When city snowplows clear the streets, the
road slush and snow are very heavy
and can knock down your mailbox.
Make certain your mailbox and the
post can withstand this force, because the City of Rossford will only
replace/repair mailboxes that are
actually hit by the snowplow.
Also, be certain your mailbox is upright and not leaning into the street. It is the
homeowners’ responsibility to maintain their mailbox to withstand the rigors of a winter of snow.

sent in the past include:
•Paving blacktoppers
working the area. Don’t
believe estimates; they raise
price after finished. Quality
of job is awful, and they disappear, and
•Police Protective Fund
calling for money. They use
high pressure and misleading tactics. Not local and
most money goes to them,
not police family victims.
Mr. Eppstein urges residents to sign up for the system to avoid becoming a
victim of any scams.
BBB ScamAlerts are free
and the bureau does not sell
any phone numbers to anyone. “All information is
completely confidential,” he
added.
Throughout the year and
especially during the holiday season, the Better Business Bureau reminds residents to be aware of scams.
To be aware of the latest
fraudulent business, bogus
solicitor or dangerous email,
the BBB offers
ScamAlerts.
Residents can register for
the program by sending the
word “scamalerts” to 95577
on their cell phones.
This will allow residents
to be among the first to
know when a hot scam is
occurring in the area.
“We will send out alerts
only when necessary,” said
Dick Eppstein, president of
the Northwest Ohio BBB.

Card of Thanks
Thanks to the Perrysburg Township Fire and EMS for
the quick response to the 911 call placed on November 20,
2014. Everyone treated our family with respect and dignity
throughout the rescue attempt. Our family extends our
appreciation to Brian and Wendy with Sujkowski Funeral
Home of Rossford for theIR kindness and support through
this difficult time. Lastly, a big sincere thanks to the Wood
County Sheriff Dept who led the funeral procession to the
Fort Meigs Cemetery. They made sure all intersections
were blocked as we traveled and they even stopped to give
a salute as we turned into the cemetery. We were treated
with utmost importance that day!

RHS Drama Club to perform ‘Fools’ for Jewish Federation Dec. 18
The Rossford High School
Drama Club, under the direction of Julie Zatko and Ryan
Mahaffey, will be reprising
their fall production of the
Neil Simon comedy, “Fools”
on Thursday, December 18, at
the Jewish Federation in Sylvania.
The cast and crew have
been personally invited to
perform their production
and have lunch with the seniors group at the annual
Latke Luncheon, which celebrates the season of
Hanukkah.
Latkes (potato pancakes)
are a dish traditionally eaten
by Jews during the eight day
festival of Hannukah. The oil
for cooking the latkes is symbolic of the oil from the
Hanukkah story that kept the
Second Temple of ancient Israel lit with a long-lasting
flame that is celebrated as a
miracle.
The students were selected by Jewish Federation
coordinator Rene Rusgo because “Fools” has its roots in
Yiddish comedy and was inspired by a Yiddish/Polish
fable.
The cast of “Fools” in-
cludes RHS students Danny
Fox, Andrew Sabovik, Hayden Sabovik, Taylor Moore,
Hannah Peterson, Derek
McIntosh, Kyleigh DeHart,
Trent
McHugh,
Nolan
McHugh, Lexi Rakovan,
Adam Sauter and Josie Reid.

All Saints offers students
a ‘Place in Space’ in atrium
Alaina Schaefer is pictured discovering her “Place in
Space” as she meditates in the Atrium at All Saints. This
work allows the student to contemplate God’s greatness
and our littleness while lifting up our faith in God as Creator of Heaven and the earth.
Rossford is recognized by name in this work, including images of recognizable Rossford landmarks. The
Atrium is a specially prepared space at All Saints where
the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd takes place. This
program, based on Montessori principles, was founded in
Rome 60 years ago as an approach to assist children in
developing the spiritual life already inside them.
The school children in preschool through grade 4, and
parishioners kindergarten through grade 2, each spend an
hour weekly in quiet work while listening for God. To learn
more about this aspect of All Saints, call the parish office
at 419-666-1393 to arrange a visit.

WOOD COUNTY
DOG SHELTER’S
FEATURED DOG
COCO:
It’s not her fault she was born a
Pit Bull, it’s not her fault she was
bred at least once and it’s sure not
her fault she was turned out to fend
for herself, landing her in the shelter. It’s not a fault that she
responds defensively when an
aggressive dog comes at her...it’s
self-preservation.
Coco has been at the shelter for
nearly two months during which
time she’s met families, played
with their kids and showered
everyone she can with enthusiasm,
kisses and great behavior; yet she still sits in her kennel alone.
To date, rescues and Humane Societies in five states have been
contacted, in hopes of getting her into a different venue where
she could find her forever home; so far, it’s been in vain as
everyone is either full or has simply not responded.
Unlike most of her shelter mates, Coco doesn’t jump up and
down and bark for attention when people go through the shelter; rather she sits there, waiting for someone to stop. Friends
of Wood County Dog Shelter are offering spay, heartworm
test, full vaccinations and transportation, if needed, to an
adopter or approved rescue.
Please don’t adopt out of pity for Coco, adopt her because
you want a friend who will be ever so grateful and a loyal, loving companion.
Also Available from the Wood County Dog Shelter:
PARKER - A lab mix, intact male, Parker is approximately
1 1/2 years old and weighs in impressive 60 pounds. He
was picked up on Portage View Rd., is a little scared at the
shelter, but warms up nicely with a little patience.

Do Narcissa and Draco sound like the perfect additions to your

Cats listed as FIV positive have tested positive for the FIV antibody. This doesn't necessarily mean that the cat has FIV, only
that he/she has been exposed to the virus. This can result in false
positives in cats/kittens that either had an FIV positive mother or
were vaccinated for FIV.
FIV is the feline equivalent to the human HIV virus. It is not
contagious to humans, but could potentially be spread to other
cats. For this reason, we recommend that FIV cats be the only
cats in a home or go to homes with other FIV cats. FIV can be
tolerated well by cats, but it can attack their immune system.
Because of this, owners of FIV positive cats need to be extra
attentive to signs of illness. Generally as long as minor ailments
are tended to swiftly, the cat will suffer no adverse effects.

Narcissa is an eleven-month-old cat with a
whole lot of personality! She is very curious
about her surroundings and she can usually
be found investigating all of the nooks and
crannies of the cat room at the shelter. Ideally, Narcissa would love to go to the same
home as Fidelity, who has become a standin mommy for Narcissa. Fidelity grooms
Narcissa, checks in with her regularly, and
sleeps with her. Because Narcissa is FIV+,
her adoption fee is waived with an approved application.
Draco is a year-old black cat. He
is a rambunctious kitten who loves
to run around and play with his
toys. Draco also can often be
found climbing to the top of the cat
tree or even a willing staffer’s
shoulders. (He’s sort of ornery that
way!) Draco is considered “special
needs” because he is FIV+, but don’t let that scare you away. He
will make a wonderful companion for someone who has lots of
affection and attention to give, so stop out and meet him today!
Because Draco is FIV+, his adoption fee is waived with an
approved application.

Tipsy Tow service available
for the holiday season
To help members and nonmembers celebrate safely this
holiday season, AAA Northwest Ohio is offering a Tipsy
Tow service from 6 p.m. Saturday, December 20 through
6 a.m. Sunday, January 4.
While AAA encourages
party goers to designate a
driver if they plan to consume
alcohol this holiday, the Tipsy
Tow service is available to assist those who find themselves in an impaired
situation and need to get them
and their vehicles home
safely.
To take advantage of Tipsy
Tow, drivers should:
•Call 1-800-AAA-HELP
(1-800-222-4357) between
the scheduled hours.
•State that they need a
“Tipsy Tow.”
•Provide their name, home
address, phone number and
vehicle location.
“Tipsy Tow is available to
help northwest Ohioans celebrate the holiday safely while
helping fulfill AAA’s mission
of making roads safer for
everyone,”
said
April
Cochran, vice president,
membership, marketing and
public affairs for AAA Northwest Ohio.
Tipsy Tow provides a oneway ride for the driver and
their vehicle at no cost for up
to 10 miles. Services will not
be provided to motorists requesting a tow to another
drinking establishment or to a
destination other than their
home. A tow to a hotel may
be allowed if the motorist is,
or plans to become, a guest.
Other services that will
not be provided as part of the
Tipsy Tow program include:
requests for a vehicle start,
flat tire change, gas delivery
and/or taxi service. For trips
longer than 10 miles, motorists can expect to be
charged the towing company’s standard rate. If members are requiring these
services separate from the
Tipsy Tow program, we will
provide the service as usual.

SIDEWALK
SNOW REMOVAL
All sidewalks and shared-use paths within the City limits are to be cleared within twenty-four (24) hours of
snow accumulation. Snow, ice, dirt and other debris
shall not be placed in the street, gutter or sidewalk.
Once the crews have cleared the street, do not push
or blow the snow from your driveway or sidewalk
into the street. This includes commercial plows.
Passing motorists drive over the fresh snow and pack
it down. When the temperature drops, that snow
forms slippery patches resulting in a driving hazard.
Refer to the City website at www.rossfordohio.com to
pull up Rossford Municipal Code 521.06.
If such sidewalk/shared-use path is not cleared within
the twenty-four (24) hour period, the City may cause
such snow, ice, dirt or other debris to be removed.
Upon such action, the City may charge such occupant
or owner an amount equal to its cost plus 100 percent.
To report uncleared sidewalks, contact the police nonemergency number at 419-666-5230.

Bulldogs lean on teamwork on achieve goals
By Michael Krieger
The 2014-15 Rossford
Bulldog boys basketball
team has big plans to improve upon last year’s second place Northern Buckeye
Conference finish.
Last season, the team
went 15-7 overall and 12-2
in the league, falling short to
league champ, Lake.
Most teams enter a new
season reaching for the goal
of a league title, but that expectation seems realistic for
the Bulldogs.
Head Coach Brian Vorst
is convinced that the
achievement is possible, but
he is more focused on im-
proving every day.
“We need to have the
drive to get better, to not settle for where we are,” he
said.
RHS looks to fill in some
gaps created by the absence
of guards Mack Miller and
Derek Mack, both averaging
double figure scoring last
year.
This year’s team will
strive for a more balanced
offensive attack.
“Instead of just a few
who can score, we now have
10 kids who can score,” explained Vorst, who believes
the team might not have that
one distinguished scorer, but
six players who hit eight to
10 points per night.
Returning for the Bulldogs are point guard Ryan
Niese, who will provide
leadership and the ability to
distribute the ball as well as
score.
Vorst said returners Nate
Childress
and
Marty
Linthicum
will
bring
strength and scoring from
the post.
The team also will benefit from the athleticism of
junior Erik Davis and sophomore Cota Sinclair.
Senior Hector Aguirre returns to the team after a one
year hiatus to provide defen-
sive intensity.
Nick Stowers and Ben
Sauter also should provide
outside scoring and some
quality minutes in their first
full year of varsity competition, the coach said.
Vorst added that the players on this team will be fun
to watch.
“I think people are going
to like how they play. They
are unselfish and will work
hard together to do anything
to make the team a success.”
This Bulldog team, the
coach explained, truly supports one another, and he
noted they are “their own
biggest fans.”
“They want to see each
other be successful,” Vorst
said.
While Rossford will once
again find Lake the most
challenging league rival, the
Bulldogs should have the
ability to win in the NBC.
However, Vorst said they
are not restricting their goals
to the league, as they look to
make a significant tournament run.
With continuous improvement throughout the
season and players who
push and rely on each other,
this year’s team should
bring an exciting brand of
basketball to RHS.
Varsity basketball wins season opener against Sylvania Northview, 55-50
By Michael Krieger
The Rossford varsity boys
basketball team jumped out to
an early first quarter lead and
held on to defeat the Sylvania
Northview Wildcats 55-50 in
the December 5 season opener
for both squads.
Behind a patient offense
and a gritty defense, the Bulldogs’ 21-12 first quarter scoring set the tone for the game.
RHS rotated often with 12
players seeing action in the
first quarter alone and ran a
balanced offensive attack.
Senior point guard Ryan
Niese led the way by diving
for a loose ball in the open
court and passing from the
floor to Marty Linthicum for
the score.
Late in the opening period,
Northview’s full court pressure started to give the Bull-
dogs trouble, and the score
volleyed for a time.
At 2:32 remaining, Rossford’s Hector Aguirre hit a
floater off the glass to put RHS
up 15-8. The Wildcats responded with a three-pointer
to cut the margin.
The Bulldog offense answered with a fast break and
Nick Stowers found Matt
Fuerst to push ahead six.
With time winding down,
Niese drove the lane and
scored the lay-up as the period
ended with the Bulldogs on
top, 21-12.
In the second quarter, Nate
Childress scored from down
low to boost the lead to double
digits, and Aguirre started the
fast break off a long rebound
and found Fuerst for another
lay-up and a 13 point advantage.
Northview followed with
two consecutive three’s by
Aerin West to reduce the margin to seven, but a Rossford
trey by Erik Davis kept RHS
ahead by 10.
Still, the Wildcats stayed
competitive and forced Rossford into some poor shots.
With 2:58 remaining in the
half, a Northview put-back
closed the gap to five before
the teams traded baskets as the
clock wound down to less than
two minutes.
Once again, Niese closed
the quarter for the Bulldogs,
hitting a three as the horn
sounded, and the Bulldogs
were up 34-27 going into halftime.
After the intermission, the
Wildcats captured some momentum, first cutting the lead
to five and then to just two
points on a three by Matt
Bishop.
After another Bulldog
turnover, Northview tied the
game at 36.
However, the Bulldogs regained the upper hand when
Childress drew the foul and
made one of two free throws.
On the next trip up the
floor, Northview scored a
jumper inside the arc to grab
their first lead of the game, 3837.
The Bulldogs did not surrender. Eventually, trailing by
three, Stowers hit a shot. On
Northview’s next possession,
Rossford’s Ben Sauter stole
the ball and hit Stowers with
the outlet.
Stowers’ shot missed, but
Fuerst followed with the putback to pull the Bulldogs
ahead, 41-40, as the third quarter came to a close.
The lead changed back and
forth at the start of the fourth,
and then Niese threw an alleyoop pass to Davis, leaping in
from the backside for the score
and a three point advantage.
Northview responded with
a trey to tie and another by
West to give the Wildcats a
three point edge.
However, a long rebound
by Aguirre started the break
and Niese hit a three knotting
the score at 48.
From there, the Bulldogs
converted a Northview
turnover into points as Niese
found Childress on the block
for the basket and a trip to the
line. After missing the free
throw, the Bulldogs led 50-48
with just two minutes remaining.
The Wildcats only managed one more basket and
were forced to foul, putting
Niese on the line. He tallied
the final five points from the
charity stripe before running
out the clock and sealing the
season’s first victory.
Northview’s West led all
scorers with 23 points and
Bishop added 13 for the Wildcats.
Niese led the Bulldogs
with 16 points and six rebounds.
Aguirre added nine points.
Rossford takes the floor tomorrow evening at Eastwood
to open Northern Buckeye
Conference play.
The junior varsity game
begins at 6 p.m., and the varsity immediately follows.

RHS grapplers begin push to claim NBC championship
By Michael Krieger
After last season’s fifth
place finish in the Northern
Buckeye Conference, the
Bulldog varsity wrestling
team is poised for great improvement this year.
To achieve success, this
team will rely heavily on a
youth movement.
“We have some good,
young kids, especially our
ninth and tenth graders.
They’re
outstanding
wrestlers,” said second-year
coach Randy Hussar, who
believes that a season goal
of finishing in the top two
for the league is realistic.
The combination of
youth and some key senior
leaders could really make
the difference.
“We would like to win
more dual meets this year,”
Hussar noted.
He credits the team’s success to their work ethic and
the fact that they have emphasized strength and conditioning more.
In addition to being
strong athletes, the team
also relies on competition
among themselves.
“At several weights, I
have more than one kid who
can start for anybody else.
They have to compete at
practice every day and will
have to wrestle hard just to
make the varsity squad,”
Hussar added.
Returning to lead the
team are seniors Casey Orr
at 172 lbs., who should
demonstrate some much
RHS wrestling team members are, from left, front row: Austin Eick, Jacob LaPlante, Colton Fugate, Hunter Smith, Devan Leuw, Colton Ball, Reno
Loera. Middle row: Nathan Hernandez, Jacob Schimming, Joe Burlage, Charles Wandtke, Tanner Krotzer, Mat Myers, Brandon Vasquez, Ty Hussar.
Back row: Coach Randy Hussar, Reed Jackson, Casey Orr, Christian McManus, Evan Austin, Andrew Myers, Josh Rymers, Harrison Fink, Coach Mark
Tinney.
needed leadership on and off
the mat; Andrew Myers, a
strong, aggressive competitor at 160 lbs.; and heavy
weight Brandon Vasquez
who should surprise some
opponents in his sophomore
year, according to Coach
Hussar.
Most of the wrestlers at
the lower weight classes are
young. Despite their youth,
they have a lot of wrestling
experience and should step
up and contribute right
away.
Sophomore
Tanner
Krotzer returns at 106 lbs.
and has worked all summer.
“He has really developed
and should be in good shape
at that weight class,” Hussar
explained.
Other young wrestlers
expected to compete at the
varsity level this year are
Austin Eick (113 lbs.), Jacob
Laplante (126 lbs.), and Ty
Hussar (138 lbs.), all freshmen.
Sophomores
Devan
Leuw and Reed Jackson will
compete for the chance to
wrestle at (132 lbs.) and another sophomore Colton
Ball will provide competition for Krotzer at 106 lbs., a
competition that will be as
tough as any match either
wrestler will face this season.
Coach Hussar points to
the tri-match against Genoa
and Clay, hosted by Rossford as a key bout for the
team to measure their capabilities.
“Those are two of the
strongest teams in the area,
and they will give us a
chance to see how we match
up,” Hussar said.
The Bulldog wrestlers
take to the mat Saturday,
December 13, at Springfield.
