We Honor County Commissioner Tim Brown recognized for service to county Wood County commissioners Jim Carter and Joel Kuhlman hosted an open house December 19, at the Wood County Office Building in honor of Commissioner Tim Brown, who is leaving his post to become an Ohio House representative. Mr. Brown has served as county commissioner since 1997 and during his tenure, the county has seen many changes. The county courthouse has undergone massive renovations over the past 15 years. He recalled the work that went into repairing the exterior of the nearly century old courthouse and installing lights on the clock tower so residents could see it as a focal point in Bowling Green. Mr. Brown remembers looking out his window the first night the tower was to be lit. “It was so bright I thought the neighbors would kill us. So I drove over there and the lights were pointing up and out so they couldn’t be seen at street level.” He said major work went into the old jail, which was gutted from basement to ceiling and converted to office space and a law library. The final construction project entailed the creation of an atrium, connecting the three buildings and providing a more secure facility. Bowling Green Mayor Richard Edwards, former Wood County administrator, described the courthouse project as “truly amazing. To preserve the courthouse, old jail and build the atrium. Thank you for enhancing this neighborhood.” The mayor commended Mr. Brown on his role in economic development and effective use of county dollars. “It’s refreshing to see,” he said. Mayor Edwards presented the commissioner with a proclamation, noting that during Mr. Brown’s tenure “Wood County experienced major changes–many of which were positive advancements in economic development and strong employment, but he also worked in difficult and challenging circumstances facing recessionary times that had not been experienced in many years.” The mayor continued, “in both prosperous and challenging times, Mr. Brown has been determined to work for the betterment of Wood County and has earned widespread respect and appreciation for his dedication to the office and county, openness to listen to all sides, willingness to advocate for the county and its people and thoughtful deliberation on issues large and small.” He concluded by designating December 19, 2012 as “Tim Brown Day” in Bowling Green.

Randy Gardner said he has enjoyed working with Mr. Brown at the county level. “I have had the greatest relationship with Wood County, and Tim has been in the forefront telling me what to do,” he quipped, adding that now he can’t wait to see how the commissioner will do at the statehouse. Mr. Gardner wanted to give Mr. Brown a gift but acknowledged that issuing him a commendation for his service seemed odd, given that the commissioner will be writing commendations himself in three weeks. “I was going to give him my Ohio House lapel pin, but then I thought ‘what am I thinking?’ In eight years, I would need it back,” he laughed. Commissioners Carter and Kuhlman presented Mr. Brown with a gift from Joseph Banks, one of the commissioner’s favorite retail stores. And administrator Andrew Kalmar along with the office staff presented the commissioner with a token of their appreciation. The administrator said the staff will miss Mr. Brown and noted that the commissioners created a great working environment over the years, even during some of the tougher times. “We laugh a lot in the commissioners’ office,” he said, “We can laugh or cry, we prefer to laugh.” Noting the commissioner’s love of Wood County history and the role he played in the creation of the county flag in 2002, he added, “What we made is a replica of the plaque on the history of the county flag.” Mr. Brown thanked all for their gifts. “It’s been an honor to do a lot of things–the flag, repairing/ restoring the county building. People ask me why I chose public service. I grew up with a sense of public service,” he said, noting that his father had served in the military. He didn’t like the military, because “I didn’t want people to tell me what to do without allowing me to question it. Politics seemed a better fit.” A 1986 graduate of Bowling Green State University’s college of business, his first entry into the political arena occurred when he served as a junior legislative assistant under Mr. Gardner. Following that, he served for eight years as the district representative for the late U.S. Congressman Paul Gillmor, where he earned a reputation as a community leader and hard worker. “I wouldn’t be where I am without you,” he told the crowd of more than 100 who attended the open house. Of his job as commissioner, he said, “You learn so much every day, and I am looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead.” “This has been an incredible opportunity to serve, and I thank you very much,” he concluded. –Jane Maiolo Rossford firefighters were honored for their service to the community at a recent awards ceremony and Christmas party.

Hennessey, a paramedic, is a 2005 graduate of Rossford High School and earned a fire science associate degree from Owens Community College. He also is a firefighter for the Napoleon Fire Department.

Library’s oral history series continues History of family farm remembered by Margie Bruns Law The Rossford Public Library has recorded another series of oral histories from a group of community residents. This is the last oral history in the series focusing on longtime Rossford residents. The first-person narratives are casual stories told by each person, prompted by questions from library staff member Kris Goldsmith. This is the story of Margie (Bruns) Law, who was interviewed last April, and passed away in August. Margie (Bruns) Law was born in the house that she lives in on Glenwood Road, at the end of Wales Road, to parents William and Grace Bruns, owners and operators of a greenhouse on the property. She recalled that she grew up “under the benches in the mud”–and really enjoyed it. A turning point she remembered was when World War II broke out, and government officials contacted her family farm asking if they could grow one million tomato plants. The Bruns family property ran laterally to nearly the end of Schreier Road where it meets Glenwood and extended the opposite way across Wales Road. Hothouse tomatoes, Bibb lettuce, head lettuce and garden bedding plants were the primary crops grown on the land. At the time, many of the younger, able-bodied workers were away in service, so the help consisted of many men over the age of 65. They did a fine job, she said, but an additional 19 women stepped in to help transplant all of the tomatoes that would feed many soldiers. The workers came from many ethnic backgrounds and she learned a lot during that time. When she married, her husband showed an interest in the business and she decided to open a flower shop as well. The couple worked with her parents in the greenhouse, too. The four of them did most of the hard work with the help of a few hired men and sometimes high school Margie Law students during summers. Her mother became very interested in politics, and asked if Mrs. Law would mind the greenhouse sometimes so she could pursue her interest. She agreed, and her mother started out stuffing envelopes for State Representative Delbert Latta. Her mother quickly became the leader and president of a women’s political group that met in a local church basement. After 10 years of meeting, the group had grown so much that gatherings had to take place at Bowling Green State University to house all of the women and their political interests. At that point, Mrs. Law said her mother decided to move on and began working for the Wood County Board of Elections and was also a delegate for U.S. Presidential candidate Richard Nixon. “It seems like we always had politicians visiting us. Mr. Rhodes [Ohio Governor James Rhodes] was very interested in the greenhouse and was always pushing tomato juice because Ohio is a large producer of tomatoes. If there was an event, and Mr. Rhodes was there, you could be sure that tomato juice was the drink of the day.” Eventually her mother retired, and died shortly thereafter at the age of 66. When Mrs. Law’s father died a few years later, she and her husband realized that they could not manage alone. They sold the business and he became ill, so she became his caregiver for five years. “That was the last of my time in the flower shop,” she recalled sadly. The original farm property reached far beyond the back of their house and eventually became a housing development. Bruns Drive was of course, named for her entire family, and Grace Way was named for her mother, Grace Thornton Bruns. One of the builders told Mrs. Law that he could not finish the project without naming a street for his wife, and this is how it is believed Carol Circle came about. When talking about her family’s history in the area, she said her great-great-greatgrandmother was named Betsy Jennison–also a named street in the Arbor Hills subdivision–and her family purchased the land in 1837. There was Betsy, Mary, another Mary, Irene, Grace and Margie in the long line of women who lived and worked on the homestead for nearly 175 years that it was in the family. Her grandfather came from Germany at 14 years old. During the Spanish American War, he believed that his new country was worth fighting for, and lying about his age, joined the U.S. Army. He traveled out East to help keep the coastline safe and became the bugler for his company of soldiers. “When they formed a group of those guys back here in Toledo and they’d get together, he always took his bugle with him,” Mrs. Law explained. “I asked him if the guys liked him because when he blew the bugle, it meant that they had to get up in the morning, but he said that ‘they never said a word.’” When her grandfather returned from the war, he worked for Frautschi’s hardware store. Around that time, he married her grandmother, decided to become a truck driver and also had a dairy. Her grandmother told her stories about American Indians who came to the door of the summer kitchen and ask for food while passing through the area. Her mother always gave them food, and a week or so later, they would find rabbits or a pheasant left for them in return as a thank you. Mrs. Law also noted that her grandfather and father delivered milk with a horse and buggy through the local alleys. “My father was the one who would take the milk in. And when it was cold outside and he didn’t have a hat on, someone would promptly give him a hat. They would ask if he was hungry, so he always knew who made the best cookies.” After awhile, they gave up the small dairy because regulations were being imposed with big farms in mind, which made it impossible to continue, she said. Mrs. Law’s grandfather was asked to be on the board of the first Rossford Savings Bank because Edward Ford wanted working men–not men of great wealth–to help guide the operations. “This was about 1918, when my grandfather and Mr. Frautschi were asked by Mr. Ford to join the bank. To be on the board, though, he wanted them to have $500 of stock in the bank. My grandfather said that he would like to be on the board, but did not have the money for the stock. Mr. Ford said that it was okay, he would lend him the money, interest free and he could pay him back for the stock when he was able.” Her grandfather enjoyed his time on the bank board and tried to do what he could to help people having problems, she said. (Later, her father would serve on the board at Mid Am until it became Sky Bank.) While growing up, she recalled soldiers from the nearby Rossford Ordnance Depot conducting training exercises in the vicinity before they went to New Jersey and eventually overseas. Occasionally, she would walk out behind the greenhouse, only to find a soldier in training who would stop and wave at her. “They were all very nice,” she said. “They had a movie house over at the depot, and my father was friends with the chaplain there, so they would occasionally invite us over to watch movies. They just had plain wooden benches to sit on, and I hated to go because it was so hard to sit, but I guess that’s what you had to do if you wanted to see it,” she laughed. One time, after her mother was finished canning, Mrs. Law was instructed to dump the leavings over the fence along the grape arbors or near the creek beds. Soldiers had dug trenches near the creek and, as she was dumping the waste, she spotted a soldier lying in the trench. “He said, ‘shhhh, don’t tell them I’m here!” she said with a laugh. Learning where all the trenches were–and there were many–she and her friends would play in them on the weekends when no one was around. When asked about the changes she has witnessed in Rossford over the years, she remembered how each day of the week was designated for a certain chore. “Monday you did the wash, Tuesday was for ironing, Wednesday you cleaned the house and so on. Everybody in Rossford was doing the same thing.” There was even a day that people scrubbed their sidewalks!” she added. She remembered attending Eagle Point School and Rossford High School and enjoying her education. Mrs. Law had to walk to school since there were no busses–but there were snakes in the road that had slithered up from the creek bank along Glenwood. Although Walnut Street School was closer, her mother decided she should go to Eagle Point, although her daughter did not know why. Her mother then believed Mrs. Law had spent enough time out in the dirt and sent her to finishing school to become a “lady” at Greenbrier Academy in West Virginia. “Unfortunately,” she laughed, “that didn’t work out too well!” Please turn to page 2Á Walter Celley appointed township administrator Walt Celley The Perrysburg Township Trustees last week appointed Walter Celley as the new township administrator, effective January 2. For the past three and a half years, Mr. Celley has served as the law director for Perrysburg Township and is transitioning from a private law practice toward a specialization in township law. He replaces John Hrosko, who announced his retirement in early December due to changes in the Ohio Public Employee Retirement System. The trustees received a handful of unsolicited resumés and letters of interest for the position of township administrator. Concurrently, Mr. Celley expressed interest in the position. Although the position of law director is a requirement under the Ohio Revised Code for “home rule” townships, the trustees saw an opportunity to reduce the amount spent for legal services by appointing an administrator with experience in township law, as exemplified by Mr. Celley. Mr. Celley graduated from the University of Toledo College of Law in 1987. Prior to attending law school, he spent nine years in the grain business, primarily in grain elevator operations. He has a degree in agribusiness from Owens Community College and a bachelor of science degree from Bowling Green State University. Following graduation from law school, he served as a law clerk to Judge John Potter of the U.S. District Court for two years before entering private practice in 1989. Snowflakes created for Sandy Hook students The Rossford School District was asked by a Sandy Hook PTA member to participate in the “Snowflake Project” following the recent school shooting in Connecticut. Rossford students made and decorated snowflakes that will be displayed in the new makeshift school for Sandy Hook students when they return to classes in January. The snowflakes will be hung in the hallways. It was requested that no words be written on the snowflakes– just glitter or sparkle to create a cheerful, happy environment for the students entering the new building. Mallori Pickard, of Indian Hills Elementary School, passed on the request to teachers, and students responded with many glittering snowflakes. A note was included to let the Sandy Hook students and staff know they are from Rossford.

The next session begins January 15, at 6:30 p.m., at Lake Elementary School, 28150 Lemoyne Road, Millbury. As a child prepares to enter middle or high school, he or she will confront many new experiences. Peer pressure and exposure to alcohol and drugs are only two of these challenges. The nationally-recognized program gives parents the skills they need to help reduce or prevent substance abuse and other potential problems with their children. It also teaches parents ways to resolve family conflicts and express anger constructively. “Guiding Good Choices” emphasizes that building a strong supportive family requires establishing firm boundaries and clear expectations for children. These boundaries enable adolescents to avoid destructive behavior and make healthy choices. The workshops are free for attending parents. Child care and a light dinner will be provided each week. The “Guiding Good Choices” series will be offered throughout the year in various locations in Wood County. The program is funded in part by the federal Safe Schools, Healthy Students Grant. For more information or to register, call Greg Bonnell at 419-354-9010, extension 228. •Shoulder •Knee •Hip •Ankle •Feet •Balance •Conditioning •Sports •Worker’s Comp. •Post Surgical S p e c i al i z i n g i n Ba c k & N e c k P a in C a ll 419 -874- 6957 w w w . y o u r p tc .c o m Substitute teacher in-service planned for Jan. 7 The Rossford School District will host a free in-service for individuals who are interested in learning more about substitute teaching.

Conducted by specially trained bereavement counselors, the groups are specifically designed to address the unique needs of varying age groups and types of loss. All groups are conducted at one of Hospice of Northwest Ohio’s facilities in Perrysburg, south Toledo or Lambertville. However, to assure the best possible group experience for participants, the dates and times of the meetings are not shared until someone calls for information. This enables the Hospice bereavement team to speak directly with each individual ahead of time to assure he or she attends the group that would be most beneficial for them. The group offerings include: •Grief 101–This one-time session is a required educational meeting that provides a basic understanding of grief and loss and prepares participants for further group experiences. Call for scheduled sessions. Must attend before any of the groups listed below. •Coping with Any Loss–Ongoing, interactive grief support group for adults who are adjusting to the loss of any loved one. •Kids Grief Support–Ongoing, interactive grief support group for children ages 5-11, and another for children ages 12-16, who are adjusting to the loss of a loved one. Art, music, discussion, storytelling and play are used to help children share and better understand their grief and find heal and hope. •Mid-Life Spousal or Partner Loss–Ongoing group, open to any man or woman who has experienced the death of a partner or spouse during their mid-life years. •Young Families in Grief–Ongoing group, for younger adults who have experienced the loss of a spouse or partner and their young children who have lost a parent. Adults will explore their grief and reflect on issues concerning single parenting. Children will use art, music and play to better understand their grief. Adults and children will also have family time to grieve together. •Men in Grief–Four-week group, open to any man who is grieving; this group is conducted by men to discuss practical tips for managing everyday life following the death of a loved one. •Supportive Spouses– Five-week group, open to recently bereaved men and women who are adjusting to life without their mates. •After Your Parent Dies–Five-week group, open to adults who are grieving the death of one or both parents. • Pa t h w a y s – S i x - w e e k group, open to all adults who want to explore the spiritual dimensions of the loss of a loved one. All groups are free and open to anyone in the community, whether or not they have had a prior relationship with Hospice of Northwest Ohio; however, pre-registration is required.

I am a very well behaved girl that loves to be around people. I came from a home with other dogs and cats, but now that I have been on my own, I’ve decided that life is good when I don’t have to share the limelight. I know how to sit and walk nicely on a leash. I’m fairly quiet and calm and I love to be petted. I just want to be near you and I like it when you talk to me. If you are looking for a sweet girl to spend time with then I’m the dog for you! Please visit or call the Wood County Humane Society at 419-352-7339 to learn more about this great pet. All of our adoptable animals can be viewed by visiting www.WoodCountyHumaneSociety.org.

The students used Sonia Black’s book as their narrative and sang 15 songs to enhance the story. They accompanied themselves with boom whackers, jingle bells, castanets, spoons and other percussion instruments. They also performed several dances during the program. It was a delightful way to reflect on traditions and the importance of close families.

There were 22 RHS football players ranked at 3.71 grade point average, Coach Todd Drusback said. To qualify for All-Ohio honors, teams submit a list of 22 players–all must have earned varsity letters–and the grade point average they attained for the first quarter of the 2012-13 school year. “Three years ago, from the 78 kids we had signed up to play football in February 2010, 27 were academically ineligible for that fall to play,” Coach Drusback explained. “Our kids have changed the culture not only on the field, but most importantly in the classroom.” There were 73 teams that earned All-Ohio honors, but just six received the highest recognition. In overall GPA, Rossford ranked 42nd on the list of schools honored. Pictured above left, front row, are Garette Murphree, William Daering, Aidan Schutte and TJ Turski.

Very loosely based upon the classic 1671 comedic farce by French playwright and essayist Moliere, the play now takes place in the seedy waterfront cafes and pizzerias of 1950s Naples, gether with their true loves–the naive Giacinta and gypsy Zerbinetta, despite previously arranged marriages prepared by café owner Signor Argante and merchant Signora Geronte. Through all kinds of trickery and lies, Scapino tries his best for the children amidst slamming doors, mistaken identities and spinning plates of pasta. Featured in the cast are Sammy Beale, Danny Burgan, Kyleigh DeHart, Mekenze Healey, Aly Hope, Chandler Horton, Trent Morelock and Katie Taylor. Place your ad in the Record today!
