Visitors enjoy an 1812 holiday celebration at Fort Meigs open house
Fort Meigs Visitors Center and Museum celebrated the holidays in a traditional 1812 style on Sunday. While enjoying music, hot cider
and cookies, visitors took part in hands-on demonstrations and had the opportunity to do holiday shopping. Re-enactors portraying soldiers and civilians from the War of 1812-era provided musket demonstrations and discussed camp life during the winter. Children had the
opportunity to try their hands at several activities including making a soldier’s shako and lady’s bonnet and beading.
Pictured above, from left, Hailey Kahl, Lily Croy and Kela Grooms took time to visit with Father Christmas. Above right, re-enactor Mike

Council approves increased water, sewer and capital expansion rates
By Deb Buker
Every four years, the City
of Perrysburg conducts a
water and sewer rate study to
develop equitable rates and
charges to meet the expenses
of the water and sewer utilities.
At its December 4 meeting, Perrysburg City Council
approved multiple ordinances
increasing water and sewer
rates within and outside of the
city, and increased capital
expansion and sewer collection charges.
According to Director of
Public Utilities Tim Warren,
by law, the water and sewer
utilities are required to be selfsupporting enterprises.
“In other words, the rates
and charges paid by customers
must fully fund the utilities,”
he explained. “The primary
reason for the increase in our
water rates is the increase in
the cost we pay the City of
Toledo to purchase water.
Toledo’s price has increased 9
percent each of the past two
years, and is scheduled to
increase 9 percent each of the
next two years. The cost we
pay Toledo to purchase water
makes up 55 percent of our
water budget, so the 9 percent
increase has a major impact on
our rates.”
2012 Water and Sewer
Rate Study Summary
“Water and sewer utilities
across the country are faced
with increasing regulatory
requirements, along with the
need to replace aging infrastructure. These are monumental challenges. In Perrysburg’s case, the city has identified nearly $40 million in
improvements and replacements to the water distribution
system. The city also is in the
process of completing EPAmandated combined sewer
separation and wastewater
treatment plant improvements
at a cost of more than $40 million. Cities, like Perrysburg,
are also being required to
implement measures to control stormwater pollution, such
as reducing runoff and monitoring storm sewers for illicit
discharges, at a yet-to-be
determined cost.
In this increasingly com-
of $27 million in combined
sewer separation and wastewater treatment plant
improvements that have been
completed by Perrysburg since
1991. About $13 million in
improvements have been com-
plex environment, the Perrysburg department of public utilities (DPU) strives to provide
a ‘small-town, old-fashioned’
approach to customer service.
Customers can call DPU and
actually speak to a person
when they have a problem.
Appointments are scheduled
at a specific time at the customer’s
convenience.
Requests are generally
responded to within 24 hours.
DPU’s experienced staff is
very familiar with the water
and sewer systems, and can
troubleshoot most problems
quickly and effectively. The
department’s employees are
truly proud of their community and the services they provide.
To meet the regulatory
requirements and need to
replace aging infrastructure,
the 2012 rate study calls for a
7.5 percent annual increase in
water rates and a 3 percent
annual increase in sewer rates
over the next four years
(2013-2016)–a combined rate
increase of 4.7 percent.
Perrysburg’s water rates
remain lower than the statewide average while its sewer
rates exceed the state-wide
average. The higher than average sewer rates are the result
pleted in the last five years.
Many communities are not as
far along in their combined
sewer overflow and wastewater treatment plant
improvement programs.
As part of the rate study,
the minimum charges for
water and sewer were evaluated in an attempt to lessen the
burden on low volume users.
Currently, the minimum
charges are based on 1,000
cubic feet of water usage per
quarter. The study recommends that the minimum
charge be reduced from 1,000
cubic feet to 900 cubic feet per
quarter since customers using
900 cubic feet or less make up
the lowest 25 percent of all
customers based on usage. For
an inside-city customer, the
minimum charge for water
would be reduced from $36.49
per quarter in 2012 to $35.31
per quarter in 2013 and the
minimum charge for sewer
per quarter in 2013. For an
outside-city customer, the
minimum charge for water
per quarter in 2013 and the
minimum charge for sewer
reduced from $75.69 per quar-
“We tend to take our water and sewer utilities for
granted. It’s difficult to appreciate how valuable they
are since most of the water and sewer infrastructure is
buried underground, and water is so readily available.
However, providing safe drinking water and returning
clean water to the river are major challenges. We can
begin to appreciate how valuable our utilities are when
we take a walk along the river or a trip to the lake.
Hopefully, we can agree that the price for clean water
is a small price to pay for something so important to
us.”
-Tim Warren
Director of Public Utilities
ter in 2012 to $70.16 per quarter in 2013.
We tend to take our water
and sewer utilities for granted.
It’s difficult to appreciate how

we can agree that the price for
clean water is a small price to
pay for something so important to us.
Even with all of the challenges, we are lucky to live in
a region with an abundant supply of fresh water. Many areas
of the country are not so
lucky. Perrysburg’s heritage
can be traced to its water
resources. Its future depends
on them. It is our responsibility as consumers and public
servants to protect them.”

Perrysburg Township police chief, administrator to retire
By Jane Maiolo
For Perrysburg Township,
2012 will close with several
major personnel changes. At
the December 5 meeting, the
trustees approved retirements
for Police Chief Mark Hetrick and Administrator John
Hrosko.
Trustee Bob Mack said
recent changes to the Ohio
Public Employee Retirement
System (OPERS) necessitated the men’s retirement. “It is
with surprise and also regret
that we learned it [OPERS]
had impacted two of our very
senior employees,” he
explained, adding, “We recognize the predicament
they’re in.”
The trustees accepted the
retirement of Chief Hetrick,
effective December 29. “It is
accepted by the trustees with
gratitude for his 26 years of
exemplary service to the
township,” Mr. Mack continued.
As is tradition with retiring personnel in the police
department, the trustees
approved the sale to the chief
of his duty weapon, a Glock
27 handgun at the market
value of $250.
Chief Hetrick was hired
in December 2010 to replace
retiring Chief Ed Stribrny. A
detective sergeant at the time,
he was a veteran of the force.
The chief began working as a
township patrol officer in
1986 and was promoted to
sergeant in 2002. In 2008, he
became a detective sergeant.
The chief has an associate
degree in law enforcement
and criminal justice from
Owens Community College
and served three years as an
military policeman in the
U.S. Army.
The trustees appointed
another long-time employee,
Lieutenant James Pellek Jr.,
to serve as acting chief for a
period of approximately 60
days. He will receive a
stipend of $1,000 in additional compensation for his
duties.
The trustees approved the
retirement of Mr. Hrosko,
effective December 31. “We
are grateful for his exemplary
years of service,” said Mr.
Mack.
Mr. Hrosko became the
first township administrator
in April 2003. He was among
more than 80 applicants for
the position.
Prior to accepting the
administrative post, Mr.
Hrosko served as the township clerk/fiscal officer, a
position he was appointed to
in March 1999.
Before coming to the
township, he was a deli manager for Andersons in Toledo.
He also was a computer programmer and analyst. And
from 1986 to 1988, he owned
and operated Zenko’s River
House and Tavern, 115 West
Front Street, Perrysburg.
A 1965 graduate of Perrysburg High School, he
holds an associate degree in
computer science and applied
business from Owens. He
was a sergeant in the U.S.
Army and was stationed in
Korea.
Other Business
In other business, the
trustees:
•Heard a presentation on
the Ten Mile Creek/Glenwood Road project from
maintenance supervisor
Kraig Gottfried. He noted
that the project, which
entailed moving the road to
the east, came in under the
$452,000
budget
at
$437,702.
The township’s cost was
$245,630, said Mr. Gottfried, adding that Issue 1
funds covered 50 percent of
the cost.
“The road looks nice,”
said Trustee Craig LaHote.
In a related matter, the
trustees authorized Pavement
Technology to spray the new
road with reclamite. “This is
good preventive maintenance,” said Mr. Gottfried.
•Learned that the police
department received a military HumVee through the
LESO (Law Enforcement
Support Office) federal program. The vehicle, considered as surplus by the military, will be used for the
SWAT team, explained Chief
Hetrick. He said the vehicle
is in good shape and just
needs a paint job.
•Approved several purchases for the fire department. They are two stokes
baskets and rigging from
Findlay Fire for $1,800, the
cost of which will be paid
using a memorial donation
from the Kellermeier family;
a training package for fire
and EMS personnel from
Center Learn for $2,978, and
smoke detectors from Walmart for $2,000.
Fire Chief Tom Brice said
the department received a
$3,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation and will
use two-thirds of that money
to purchase smoke detectors,
carbon monoxide detectors
and combination smoke/carbon monoxide detectors.
Some of the units will be
equipped with voice warning
systems. “Studies show people respond better to a
voice,” said the chief.
•Authorized payment of
$3,544 for air pack testing of
fire department equipment.

Perrysburg Mayor Nelson Evans recently administered the oath of office to new police officer Brandon Flick.
Officer Flick, a Bowling Green High School graduate, received an associate degree in criminal justice from

as a police officer with the Village of Carey. Officer Flick began his duties with Perrysburg on December 3.

a hot air balloon ride to
fun-filled wishes such as
receiving a make-over,”
said Jennifer Reinhart,
community services representative.
“Live a Dream is a very
special program that allows
us to grant wishes to our
residents through the year,”
said Julie McKitrick, executive director. “We’ve been
able to create some amazing memories through this
program at our sister campuses, and we are very
excited about creating our
first wishes here.”
Having their wishes fulfilled at the ribbon-cutting
ceremony were Beatrice
Collet and Catherine Wyss,
who asked to go on a hot

the women will have to
wait until spring and
warmer weather for their
wish to be granted.

The “Guiding Good

offered throughout the
year in various locations in
Wood County.
The program is funded
The Wood County Education Service Center is
offering “Guiding Good
Choices ® ” an interactive
five-part program for parents of children ages 7 to
14.
The next session begins
January 15, at 6:30 p.m., at
Lake Elementary School,
28150 Lemoyne Road,
Millbury, Ohio.
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

Ohio Highway Patrol seizes
prescription pills in traffic stop
A Michigan man is facing felony drug charges
after Ohio State Highway
Patrol troopers seized 609
prescription pills, worth an
estimated $15,000, following a traffic stop in Perrysburg.
On December 5, troopers stopped a Dodge
Avenger with Illinois registration for a speed violation
on I-75, near milepost 193.
A patrol drug-sniffing
canine was brought in, and
during a probable cause
search the K-9 allegedly
discovered
248
Oxycodone, 92 Hydrocodone
and 279 Xanax pills in the
trunk.
The driver, Leonard C.
Denson, 22, of Detroit, was

County jail and charged
with three counts of trafficking drugs, one a thirddegree felony and two

three counts of possession
of drugs, one a third-degree
felony and two fourth-degree felonies.
If convicted, he could
face up to 14 years in
prison and fines of
$35,000.
The highway patrol said
drug violations are up significantly
this
year.
Through December 1, the
patrol has made 1,381 more
drug arrests than during the
same period in 2010, a 24
percent increase in drug violations.
Dear Editor:
In a letter to the editor in
the November 28, 2012, Perrysburg Messenger Journal, a
Perrysburg High School Athletic Booster leader sent a very
positive message about PHS
schools’ performance and the
girls soccer championship. He
emphasized the strong support
of citizens and businesses for
both endeavors and to quote
him, “...citizens will agree that
Perrysburg is a special place to
live and raise a family...”.
I couldn’t agree with him
more. Although I have no soccer granddaughters and
haven’t had a child in school
for 25 years, I voted “yes” for
the school levy and have
bragged about the girls state
champs. That is how I think
Perrysburg citizens usually
act.
So I was deeply disappointed when the voters turned
down the opportunity to keep
public transportation in Perrysburg at a cost of less than
half of what we have been
paying for the last 35 years.
I hope there will be another
chance to fix that. As the treasurer of the committee to convince you, I sure hope we can
do a better job the second time
around. See our Web site at
www.perrysburg4transit.com
for details.
Helping out those who
need that kind of help will be
one more reason to be proud to
live in a special place like Perrysburg.

In-Home
residents in separate incidents
On December 5, a Wood
County grand jury indicted

imposition, a felony of the
third degree, in an incident
that allegedly occurred between July 15 and August
31 and involved a child
under the age of 13.
If convicted on both
counts, he could be sentenced to up to 19 years in
prison and fines of $35,000.
Wood County Common
Pleas Judge Robert Pollex
will hear the case.
Also indicted was James
B. Ivester, 48, of Bishopswood Lane.
He is charged with four
counts of pandering sexually-oriented matter involving a minor, second-degree
felonies. The incidents al-
legedly took place on August 24 and October 29,
2011 and February 26 and
March 8, 2012.
He also was indicted on
one count of illegal use of a
minor in nudity-oriented
material or performance, a
felony of the fifth degree,

years in prison and fines of
$62,500 if convicted on all
counts.
Common Pleas Judge
Reeve Kelsey will hear his
case.

fifth-degree felony in connection with an incident
which allegedly occurred on

and one year in prison.
The case has been assigned to Common Pleas
Judge Alan Mayberry.

Maumee Valley Country Day School begins construction on Residence Hall
The architectural rendering of the new student residence hall to be constructed at Maumee Valley Country Day
School.
Maumee Valley Country
Day School recently broke
ground for a $1.5 million residence facility–the school’s
first on-campus housing for
boarding students in grades 912. The 8,385-square-foot
facility will provide on-campus housing for 28 students.
The new building, which
will be called the Dayal
House, will provide an independent school experience for
families outside the local
area, children of alumni who
no longer live in Toledo, and
the school’s growing international student program.
The Dayal House will be
open to students for the 201314 school year. The new residence hall is made possible
through a donation from the
Dayal family, and boarding
fees that will be charged to
students living in the facility.
The building will be situated on the east side of the
school’s wooded, 75-acre
campus and will include a
large Commons Area which
will serve all Upper School
students.
Rudolph/Libbe Inc., of
Walbridge, Ohio, will serve
as the design/build contractor
and the Collaborative, based
in Toledo, is the architect for
the project.
Currently, 56 upper school
students from outside the
Toledo area attend the 128year-old school, some driving
more than an hour one-way.
An additional 27 international
upper school students live
with host families throughout
the city.
“We are seeing increases
in the number of students
who live outside Toledo, and
in many cases, outside the
United States,” said Head of
School Gary Boehm. “Those
students are very serious
about obtaining their education at our school, and we
want to return that commitment by making on-campus
housing available.”
“We are excited to be able
to support the school and this
project,” said the Dayal family in a statement. “The
Dayal House will provide a
wonderful opportunity for
students, both domestic and
international, to receive a
Maumee Valley education,
Easy to find, easy to use,
no matter where you
work or live.
thereby maximizing their college options.”
As the region’s only independent school, Maumee Valley Country Day School
opened this school year with
its highest enrollment in more
than 20 years.
Maumee Valley Country
Day School is the only independent preparatory school
serving preschool through
twelfth grade in the region.
Maumee Valley attracts motivated, able students who have
a range of academic interests
and diverse backgrounds, and
whose families value education. Its challenging curriculum, student centered school
life and supportive community inspire and equip students
for a lifetime of learning.

Did you know…Christmas traditions?
Many Christmas traditions
are older than some celebrants
might think. The tradition of
lighting up a Christmas tree,
for example, dates back to the
days before Christmas lights.
Before electric-powered twinkle lights were invented and
even before electricity was
discovered, people used actual
candles to adorn the Christmas
tree. As one can imagine, having an open flame next to a
dried-out tree was risky, so it
was customary to keep a bucket of water next to the tree in
the case of fire.
As if fire wasn’t enough,
the tinsel used to decorate
trees was made from strips of
silver and even lead—something that is now known to be
a health hazard to adults and
children alike.
Although we’ve come a
long way since candles and
lead, even now trees that are
overly dry and decorated with
lights that have frayed wires
can just as easily lead to fires.
Plus, plastic tinsel can be a
choking hazard for children
and pets.
One Christmas staple that
has lost its status as a safety
hazard is the poinsettia plant.
It has long been thought that
poinsettias are poisonous to
people and animals. While
there is some toxicity to the
plant, it would require the
ingestion of hundreds of
leaves to get a toxic dose of a
plant’s poison.

free medical help for women
of all ages on the third
Wednesday of each month,
starting at 6:30 p.m., at its
Community Center located on
Jefferson Street. This clinic is
held in conjunction with the
weekly medical clinic at the
center. Both clinics are run by
Dr. Richard Paat, professor of
medicine at the University of
Toledo College of Medicine,
and former chief of staff at St.
Luke’s Hospital in Maumee.
The Country Garden Club
provided seed funds for
PHCA’s first garden this past
year, and will play a big part
in the upcoming Christmas
party later this month.
“This is a perfect example
of what our club wants to support from the proceeds of our
annual Trunk Show,” said
Garden Club President Ginger
Knudson. “In addition to
beautifying downtown Perrysburg again this season with
the assistance of the Streets
Division, we are supporting
an organization that is working to improve the lives of our
residents and teaching children the joy of gardening.”
Prizm opens new art exhibit at Way Public Library
Prizm Creative Community is sponsoring a new collection of art at the Way
Public Library gallery located on the lower level adjacent to the downstairs
meeting rooms. Featured
are artists and authors with
poetry, three dimensional
and two dimensional work.
The exhibit will be on display through Friday, January
25, during library hours.
The current display entitled “Seeing is Believing,”
features the two-dimensional award winning photography of J.D. Jensen.
Son of a newspaper editor and professional photographer, Mr. Jensen grew up
learning the importance and
pleasure of capturing the
moment on film. While still
in high school one of his
photos was awarded News
Photo of the Year for his
state. He often strives to use
the latest technology and
will often combine multiple
digital images, to approximate the scope of vision one
would experience if they
were witnessing the scene
with their own eyes. For
this exhibit, Mr. Jensen has
included panoramic views
of his travels in the west, including places such as
Yosemite and Horseshoe
Bend National Monument.
Prizm also is featuring
the award winning art of
David Kolasky in both glass
and metal work. Upon retirement 10 years ago, Mr.
Kolasky took classes in
glass blowing at the Toledo
Museum of Art and since
has participated in their program and at Bowling Green
State University. He is represented by galleries in
Ohio, Michigan and Ore-
gon. His work tends to be
both functional and decorative. While traveling in
Denmark many years ago,
he noticed everyday household items had a design.
This revelation that functional items could also be
beautiful never left him, and
he strives to include beauty
in all functional items he
makes.
Featured in the exhibit is
a grouping of his bamboo
vases, a signature metal
wall hanging and recent innovative shapes in glass, including a duck sculpture.
Another showcase in the
gallery features the unique
hand built designs of artist
Mary Anne Nicholson. She
first learned ceramics by
participating in the pottery
program at the 577 Foundation. She also took classes at
the Toledo Museum of Art,
where she still produces pottery. Featured in the exhibit
is a piece of pottery titled
“Lacey Lady,” in which a
thrown pot is embellished
with a draped piece of lace
also made of clay.
In addition to innovative
pottery designs, Ms. Nicholson features her basket
weaving skills by showing a
delicate tray made from
dyed pine needles, thread
and slices of nuts.
The exhibit also features
custom handmade jewelry
by artist Kate Argow. Taking inspiration from unique
and special stones, Ms. Argo
seeks to complement the
natural beauty of the materials she uses, often using an
intuitive creative process
where she combines key
colors, textures, and design
elements to create one of a
kind pieces. An educator by

In this year’s case, a high
school sophomore is suspected of setting a fire at the
school that resulted in the
death of a maintenance
worker. The police then engage in a lengthy interrogation process that involves
driving to the scene of the
crime and the victim’s home
as well as various interrogation techniques. Late in the
day, the defendant makes a
statement claiming responsibility for the fire and is subsequently charged with
Murder and Arson. However,
the defendant later recants
the confession. The defendant has alleged that the
statements were improperly
coerced by the police in violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments and filed
a Motion to Suppress.
Kindergarten enrollment
PHS boys basketball team
outlasts Springfield to win 38-32 scheduled for February
By Andy Brungard
The Perrysburg High
School boys basketball team
pulled off a nail biter on
Thursday, December 6, to
win 38-32 at Springfield
High School.
The Jackets now move to
2-0 on the season and 1-0 in
the Northern Lakes League.
Their win came in large
part to their defensive effort
which was led by Hayden
Thomas, who took an astounding five charges during
the game and helped to limit
inside shots.
The Jackets led 19-18 at
the half and kept the lead the
whole second half, despite
Springfield keeping the game
within four points until the
end of the fourth quarter. In
the fourth quarter, the Yellow
Jackets scored all seven
points by free throws from
Shane Edwards and Bryant
Byrd.
To start the game, Nick
Moschetti made two three
pointers within the first two
minutes to give Perrysburg a
thin lead, 6-5.
Both teams went back and
forth for the remainder of the
quarter and locked up at nine
points with one minute remaining. Perrysburg gained
possession of the ball in that
final minute and worked for
the final shot. Quinn Thomas
had a lay up opportunity that
he missed, but battled for his
own rebound and kicked it
out to Shane Edwards, who
hit a three with 15 seconds
left in the quarter.
Springfield again responded swiftly, moving the
ball up court and scoring in
the lane as the buzzer
sounded, to make the score
12-11, PHS.
Springfield started with
the ball in the second quarter
and took the lead on their first
possession.
Matt Kaczinski hit a
jumper from the baseline to
regain the lead for Perrysburg
with five minutes to play until
half-time.
Both teams failed to convert on their next few possessions
until
Springfield
knocked down a deep three.
Matt Mesker quickly rebutted
the Blue Devils’ basket with
a three pointer of his own
from the wing to help the
Jackets maintain a 19-18
halftime lead.
The third quarter was the
most productive offensively
for the Jackets. Perrysburg
came out scoring, pouring in

Schools Foundation
present fall mini-grants quarter, defeat Eagles, 59-36
The Perrysburg Schools
Foundation has awarded four
mini-grants to Perrysburg
teachers this fall. These minigrants are funded by contributions from individuals in
the community through the
Foundation’s annual fund
drive.
The Perrysburg Schools
Foundation mini-grant program was the first project undertaken by the Foundation
board following its inception
in 1985. The mini-grants are
designed to enable teachers at
all grade levels to bring innovative ideas, techniques and
resources to the classroom
using funding other than tax
dollars.
Since 1985, the Foundation has awarded more than
$100,000 in mini-grants, impacting every student in the
school system, many of them
several times by the time they
graduate.
The grants awarded were:
Sara Jones, school psychologist, “Autism Toolkits,”
$350. These toolkits will be
used to help autistic students
transition to different buildings, such as elementary
school to junior high, or for
students leaving the district.
They will provide teachers,
administrators and staff with
things they need to know to
help the students to transition
successfully. Individualized
toolkits will contain information about each student,
video clips and photos of the
student, along with other
videos of supports that work
for the student in the classroom.
Jeanna Heuring and Kris
Martz,
all
elementary
schools, grades 4-5, “Read to
Me: Conveying the Importance of Literacy Through
Service Learning,” $370.
This project will give students the opportunity to learn
about the importance of literacy and its impact on a community. Excels students will
devise a plan to raise funds
for books. After researching
the benefits of reading to students at a young age and the
effects illiteracy has on a
community, region and nation, the students will write
letters of encouragement to
new parents. The books will
be gift wrapped with the letters and given out in the maternity ward at Toledo
Hospital.
Sarah Bedee and Julie
Gedert, Toth Grade 2, “Focusing with Stability Balls,”
$962. These balls will replace traditional classroom
chairs and will increase focus
and provide sensory simulation to improve academics.
Research has shown that the
stability balls promote good
posture and healthy habits by
strengthening core muscles.
They are particularly beneficial for students with special
learning needs, sensory processing disorder, attention
deficit and hyperactivity.
Physical therapists have used
these balls before with Perrysburg students, but this will
be the first time they have
been used in a regular classroom.
Maura Meyers, Perrysburg Junior High, grades 6-8,
“The Sketchbook Project,”
$120. This project will introduce students to collaborative
art. The sketchbooks will be
used for creative record keeping. When complete, the
books will be sent to art galleries all over the country for
a year before becoming part
of the Brooklyn Art Library’s
permanent collection. Each
book will have a barcode on
the back which will allow
students to track who has
viewed it and where they
have seen it.

The Yellow Jackets faced
the Clay Eagles Saturday,
coming off of a big league
win the night before, 60-50,
against Bowling Green.
Perrysburg kept the lead
for the entire game but exploded in the fourth quarter,
outscoring Clay 20-6, leading to a walloping 59-36 victory.
PHS started the game
with a 9-0 run, which included seven of Maddie
Williams’ team high 13
points. Williams hit a three
pointer at the top of the arc,
then as Clay was bringing the
ball up court she stole a pass
and took it the distance for an
easy lay up.
The Yellow Jackets continued their dominance in the
first quarter, keeping the full
court press on limiting Clays
scoring opportunities and
taking a 15-5 lead into the
second quarter.
In the second quarter, the
Jackets’ aggression on offense forced many fouls out
of Clay to try and slow the
game down. This led to the
Jackets being in the bonus
early and with six minutes
remaining in the quarter. The
Jackets’ Alex Brown added
two free throws to extend the
lead to 20-9.
Clay responded with two
three pointers and tightened
their two-three zone on defense to pull within six points
of Perrysburg.
The Lady Jackets responded before the half,
scoring five unanswered
points
including
two
Williams free throws with
five seconds left to make it
28-17 at the half.
Clay came out of the half
playing smooth on offense,
going on a 10-0 run.
The Jackets did not score
for the first five and a half
minutes of the third quarter.
Brown ended the scoring
drought by grabbing an offensive rebound underneath
the basket and laying it in to
give Perrysburg a three-point
lead. Katie Dunphy then ex-

six points in the first minute
and a half.
Springfield slowed down
the scoring run, tightening up
their zone defense, but Perrysburg still held onto their
lead, 25-22, with four minutes to play in the third.
With Springfield keeping
it close through the entire
third quarter Perrysburg led
by only one point. With less
than 10 seconds remaining,
Perrysburg took possession
of the ball and Shane Edwards received a pass from
Q. Thomas well beyond the
three point line on the right
wing and hit a three pointer
as the buzzer sounded, giving
PHS a four-point lead headed
into the final quarter.
Neither team scored for
the first two minutes of the
final quarter, but the Blue
Devils’ fouls sent Perrysburg
to the line several times,
where the Yellow Jackets capitalized on Springfield’s mistakes en route to a six point
win.
Moschetti led all scorers
with 14 points, and Edwards
added 12.
Perrysburg’s next game
will be home against
Napoleon on Thursday, December 13.

Catholic Charities provides adoption
search, reunions during holiday season
During the holiday season, those who have been
part of an adoption may
think more about finding a
birth mother or a child
placed
for
adoption.
Catholic Charities of the
Diocese of Toledo is offering
adoption search and reunion
services for adoptions completed through Catholic
Charities.
Holidays often create
thoughts of family and cherished memories of the past
for many people.
An adoption search can
be beneficial for all members
of the adoption triad, which
is the birth mother, adoptee
and adoptive parents, says
Peg Gehring, coordinator of
Catholic Charities Post
Adoption and Reunion Services. For example, adoptees
may find answers to lifelong
questions about medical information and birth family
history. Feelings of completeness and wholeness can
become a reality for them,
she says.
“Most adoptees want to
thank their birth mother for
giving them life and then allowing them to live a wonderful life through adoption,”
Gehring explains. “For birth
mothers, to hear a genuine
“thank you” from their adult
child and to learn their child
had a wonderful life brings a
sense of healing and peace.
It affirms for the birth mother
that her decision of long ago
was truly in the best interest
of her child.”
The search and reunion
can also be beneficial for
adoptive parents.
When
adoptive parents give their
blessing, encouragement and
support for their child to
begin a search journey, their
fear of “losing their child”
often diminishes, said Ms.
Gehring.
The parent/child relationship is often enriched with a
greater sense of appreciation
and respect.
For more information or
to begin an adoption search,
send an e-mail to Ms.
Gehring at mgehring@
toledodiocese.org or call
419-244-6711,
extension
230. Fees are applicable for
the search.

The Banfield Charitable
Trust, in partnership with
Meals on Wheels Association
of America (MOWAA), Banfield, The Pet Hospital® and
The Andersons General
Stores, are helping to feed
hungry pets this holiday season with our annual Season
of Suppers campaign, a national pet food drive, which
runs through December 31.
The Season of Suppers
campaign, now in its seventh
year, aims to feed pets of
homebound seniors who receive meals from meal programs across the country. The
program calls attention to the
importance of pets to the
well-being 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.
This holiday season, Mobile Meals of Toledo will be
delivering pet food to their
meal clients who need assistance in providing food for
their animals. Mobile Meals
is asking the community to
donate pet food or money to
purchase the food through an
alliance with Banfield, the
Pet Hospital and The Andersons.
The two Banfield locations working with Mobile
Meals are located in the PetSmart stores at Spring Meadows on Airport Highway in
Toledo and at Crossroads
Parkway in Rossford. Donations will be accepted
through December 31.
The Andersons General
Store locations at Northwood, Talmadge Road and
Maumee also will be collecting pet food donations
through December 31.
Cash donations to purchase pet food can be made
on line at www.mobile
meals.org in the donation section of the Web site. Donors
should designate the funds
for the Pet Food Program.
“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.
For more information on
the program or how to get involved, call the Mobile
Meals’ office at419-2557806.

The Toledo Museum of
Art has acquired Spiegel, a
monumental, two-part stainless steel sculpture by the acclaimed Spanish sculptor
Jaume Plensa. Its acquisition
was made possible by a local
donor who wishes to remain
anonymous.
Showcased last year in an
exhibition of the artist’s work
at the Yorkshire Sculpture
Park in West Bretton, Wakefield, UK, the work is being
installed in the Georgia and
David K. Welles Sculpture
Garden, which surrounds the
museum. Composed of two
figures, each measuring just
more than 12 feet high and lit
from within, the sculpture
will be located in front of a
small ridge near the intersection of Monroe Street and
Collingwood Boulevard.
The word spiegel means
mirror in German. Plensa’s
Spiegel features two identical
figures mirroring one another.
Created in 2010, it is made of
white-painted steel latticework consisting of individual
letters welded together–making no legible sense–from
eight different alphabets. The
different international alphabets are used to define and visually unite the two seated
individuals that are bound together in a silent exchange.
“The sculpture makes a
beautiful introduction to the
museum’s campus because it
shows two figures in apparent
dialogue, much as we hope to
bring visitors into dialogue
with works of art,” said Museum
Director
Brian
Kennedy. “Both figures are
constructed from alphabetic
symbols, which evokes our
‘Teaching Visual Literacy’
objective and even the work’s
title creates a material and
spatial dialogue with our
Glass Pavilion across the
street.”
Mr. Plensa was born in
1955 in Barcelona, Spain, and
currently has residences in
both Paris and Barcelona. His
sculptures can be seen in public spaces world-wide, including Spain, France, Japan
and Germany. In the United
States, his most widely
known sculpture is Crown
Fountain at Millennium Park
in Chicago.
His works regularly are
shown in galleries and museums across Europe, the
United States and Japan. His
work was most recently seen
in the 2012 International
Contemporary Art Fair in
Paris.
“Plensa’s sculptures inspire wonderment and great
attachment as well as interaction among people of all ages.
This work should prove no
different,” said Amy Gilman,
associate director and curator
of contemporary art at the
museum. “Spiegel will attract
notice and engagement. At
night the two bodies are lit
from within and will be visible even when the museum is
closed.”
The artist has been invited
to visit Toledo for a formal
dedication of the work and
Masters Series lecture next
spring.

Jim Leyland steps up for the record, joins Oral History Series at Way Library
By Richard Baranowski
and Lloyd Swanson
He looks a little softer in
person than the usual tensedup leathery image conveyed
onto our television screens.
But today, baseball’s best
manager is not anxiously
perched on the top step of a
baseball dugout but sitting in
the local history room of Way
Library among some hometown friends, and he’s bound
to be a little more relaxed.
Jim Leyland was in town
for his 50th high school
reunion and graciously took
the time to visit the library
and record a few of his memories of growing up in Perrysburg.
Jim talked about some of
his ancestors and how they
made their way to Perrysburg.
“On my father’s side there
is a history of glassmakers.
My great-grandfather, who
was born in Lancastershire,
England, was a glassmaker,
as was my grandfather and
my father. Even I worked at
LOF during the off-season to
make a few dollars when I
was trying to survive in the
minor leagues because you
didn’t make anything in those
days.”
Jim’s great-grandparents
immigrated to America in
1873. They lived in the Ohio
River town of New Albany,
Indiana. Thomas Leyland
was a skilled glass artisan,
working for American Plate
Glass Works, which produced
rolled plate glass for windows
and doors and a variety of
bottles. The family moved to
Butler, Pennsylvania, in the
early 1880s for work at the
Standard Plate Glass Company located there. One son,
also named Thomas, who was
to be Jim’s grandfather,
worked as a glass polisher for
the company. He also became
a Butler city councilman. He
married Mary Walsh in 1899.
“My father was born in
Butler, in 1907,” Jim said.
“He was one of 16 kids. With
that many kids in the family,
you learned fast. They
always said, the first one up
was the best-dressed,” he
added, laughing.
“In 1924 my grandfather
came to Toledo to work at
LOF on East Broadway. He
probably saw opportunity
here and maybe a promotion.
He was a plant manager and
supervisor. My dad, 17 years
old at the time, got a job there
too, sweeping floors. They
lived on Collingwood, just a
few houses from the Cathedral.”
Jim’s grandparents on his
mother’s side were named
Ragan. They came from Ireland, eventually settling in
Maumee where they farmed
and where Jim’s grandfather,
Michael, was born. He married Rose Baker, a seamstress
who had a shop in Maumee.
The couple moved to Perrysburg in 1906. In 1912, they
purchased a house at 338 East
Second Street, for the grand
sum of $2,400. Jim’s grandfather was a trolley conductor
for the Maumee Valley Transportation Company. He later
became a bus driver for the
same company when they
transitioned to gas-powered
vehicles. Jim’s mother,
Veronica, was born in 1912.
“I don’t remember my
grandfather,” Jim said. “He
died before I was born. I was
told he was a hard worker,
like all those people worked
in those days. It was a good
day’s work for a good day’s
pay, although the pay wasn’t
much in those days, but
things didn’t cost much. I
know he smoked cigars. My
mother always enjoyed the
smell of cigar smoke. My

Sharon.
grandmother Ragan lived
well into her 90s, and I knew
her well. She was a wonderful cook and just a nice, oldfashioned lady.”
Jim’s parents were married in 1936. How they met is
lost to history, although it
could have been a baseball
game. The elder Jim Leyland
played baseball for semi-pro
teams that were popular in
those days and most likely
played games at Perrysburg,
as they had their own village
team as well.
“I remember hearing stories,” Jim said. “My dad was
hot-headed and a competitor,
like a lot of guys, and he
could throw the ball pretty
good. He may have even had
a tryout with the New York
Giants organization, but at
some point he hurt his shoulder.”
After Jim and Veronica
Leyland married, they moved
into a house on Alcott Avenue
in Toledo, near Sylvania and
Lewis. Their first three children, Judy, Father Thomas
and Bill, were born during
this time.
“The family moved to
Perrysburg in 1941,” Jim
said. “I was born December
15, 1944, in St. Vincent Hospital. We rented at 326 West
Sixth Street. We didn’t buy
our house on Indiana Avenue
until 1951.
“One of my earliest memories is when the family got
its first television. We bought
a Stromberg-Carlson TV. It
had a big wooden cabinet and
a tiny screen. It was a shock
to see a show right in your
house, but it was the cat’s
meow. We thought we had
everything.
“When we moved over to
213 West Indiana, there were
six of us kids. My youngest
brother, Larry, was not born
until 1952. The house looks
small from the outside, but it
had five bedrooms. My sisters, Sharon and Judy, had
their own rooms and three of
us boys were in another. One
other brother and my parents
had a bedroom downstairs.
As old houses go, it was a
pretty big house.
“When I think back, my
father was a saint. He was a
supervisor at LOF and
worked swing shift, the hours
different each week. Mom
was always trying to keep us
quiet so dad could sleep.
Even with this tough schedule, he never missed a day’s
work. He was a typical, Perrysburg factory guy. I think
the most he ever made was
$16,000 and when I was a kid
it was, of course, less than
that. We had food. We had
clothes. But it wasn’t like
today’s world where you get
all these presents at Christmas. One or two was all. It
was pretty simple. We never
took vacations, but we never
thought we were missing
anything. Like I said, we
thought we had everything.
“When it came to parenting, my dad was a little bit
tougher than my mother. He
was an athlete, a competitor,
came from a big family and
knew what the world was
about. Mom was more subtle.
But I think his way was good.
He was just getting us ready
for what was going to happen
later on. I’ll give you a perfect description of him. He
could be tough at home, but
in public, you better not say
anything bad about his kids.
“Perrysburg was a small
place back then. I think it
only had about 4,500 people.
You could walk anywhere
and as kids, we were all over.
I remember Carl Schmidt’s
Chevrolet. It was on Indiana
and Louisiana. We couldn’t
wait until the new cars came
out because they would
always give out Vernors Ginger Ale. We didn’t have any
money to buy a car, and they
knew what we were doing.
But nobody minded, not even
the owner, Carl Schmidt, who
I got to know because I later
became a batboy for the
Schmidt baseball team.
“From the time I could
throw a ball, I played sports. I
remember my brother Bill
and I would play in the front
yard, endlessly competing
against each other. He was
closest to my age, and we
could even wear the same
shoes. He was a quarterback
before me and he was better
than me, bigger and stronger.
“As a kid, I spent a lot of
time playing with other kids.
Some of my friends were
Tom Sanders, Jim Caswell
and Bob and Bill Austin.
There was Al and Ned Hoffman–10 kids altogether in
their family. They lived on
Sixth and Findlay. In the
summer, we’d be out of the
house at 8:30 or 9 in the
morning and play all day.
There were corner or vacant
lots where we would play
baseball. There was a field
where the fire station is today
and a cinder field by the old
Gendron Wheel. There
would always be kids playing
somewhere. Some were
older, some were younger,
but we all played together.
Today, parents don’t want
their kids on the loose.
They’re too afraid. But it was
different then. We walked or
biked all around town, going

to the pool, the ball field or to
each other’s houses. A lot of
times, like I said, we’d be
gone all day long. Our parents did not know where we
were every second, and they
really didn’t worry about us.
The town was small enough
that everybody knew everybody and everybody seemed
to like each other. That was
just normal life in Perrysburg
in those days.
“I remember playing a
game one day at the ball field.
Bill Pugh, who was the son of
Dr. Pugh, was coaching us.
He was swinging the bat and
he hit me between the eyes
and split me wide open. He
took me to his dad’s office
over on West Second Street
and he sewed me up. In the
meantime, my dad had been
looking for me and couldn’t
find me. Dr. Pugh called the
house and told my dad he had
just sewn me up and I would
be OK, but I never went
home. I went back out to the
ball field. My dad came out
there and said, ‘what’s wrong
with you? Are you crazy?’ I
didn’t think it was that big of
a deal, but he did.
“I went to school at St.
Rose. We were taught by the
Ursuline nuns. Two of my
aunts were Ursulines, Sister
Mary Johanna and Sister
Mary Joachim, but I never
had them as teachers. I had
Sister Mary Arthur in second
grade. I liked her. I also
remember Sister Ligouri,
who I had in the seventh
grade. She was tough. I was a
little mischievous, but she
liked me so that helped. But I
didn’t like school. I liked
sports. I wanted to make sure
the field was lined and that I
was ready to play after school
was out.
“Our family loved music.
We had a piano at the house
and my brother, Father Tom,
was quite good and both of
my sisters, Judy and Sharon,
also played. On Sunday
nights we’d sit around the
piano and play and sing. I
sang in the choir at St. Rose
and even in the big choir that
sang on Sundays with Al
Rava, Jerry Hess and a few
others. Lela Munger would
play the organ. I also sang at
weddings and maybe would
have been a singer if I hadn’t
made good in baseball.
“I played the trumpet for
six years while I was in grade
school. I took lessons from
Sister Jean Marie at St. Rose.
After the lesson I would walk
past Dewey Pence’s barbershop on Second Street on my
way home. Well, these guys
would be in there and they’d
wave me in. I’d go in and
play and they would slip me a
couple of bucks. I’d get
home and have this money in
my pocket and my dad would
ask me where I got it. I’d just
say I got a couple of bucks.
He actually was worried that
I was stealing money someplace. Later, one of the guys
told him that I came in the
barbershop and played trumpet for them all the time.”
If you were a kid in Perrysburg you eventually joined
the Cub Scouts. My den
mother was Mrs. Gordon,
whose husband Ken was a
barber and son Kenny was a
friend of mine. I just saw him
last night. I never got too far
in the scouts. They had all
these projects, and I couldn’t
motivate myself or get too
interested, although I enjoyed
the camp outs we had at
Camp Miakonda. I was much
too interested in sports.
“I had a lot of uncles and
aunts, but if I were to choose
my favorite, it would be Aunt
Mary, dad’s sister and my
godmother. When you’re a
kid and someone buys you
something, they’re your
favorite relative. I would get
on a bus and meet her at
Christmas time. My sister
Sharon and I would both go.
Mary worked at LOF on East
Broadway as a secretary. We
would meet her at the corner
of Fassett Street and Miami
Street. She’d pick us up at
Goon’s drugstore. Then she
would take us to Tiedtkes or
Lasalles to buy presents.”
“Like everybody else, I
went to the Bee Hive. There
would be dances after a
game. Helen Piez and this
roly-poly guy, Don Peterson,
would always chaperone. We
had a record player that
played 45’s. I always like the
slow ballads the best. Groups
like the Temptations, the Platters and the Skyliners were
favorites. I also like Dion and
the Belmonts. Now nobody
knows who any of these people are. They probably don’t
know what a 45 record is
either,” he added, laughing.
“We also hung out at the
Perry Dairy Bar. It was a
hamburg joint across from the
school. Jeanne Lippert was
usually behind the counter. It
was a meeting place, and a lot
of kids went there for lunch
during school, and maybe
sneak a smoke back in the
alley. Another place was
Joe’s Hamburg, which was
uptown in the first block. I
loved Joe Kolvey’s hamburgers. It was a real treat if you
could come up with the glue
to buy a hamburger. They
were 20 or 25 cents. His grill
was right out there in the
open and he’d cook them
right in front of you, and they
smelled and tasted so good.
“Broske’s was also a big
hangout. Everybody was a

Downtown Perrysburg, Inc. continues holiday
campaign with Perrysburg Christians United
In collaboration with
Commodore Way and ODeer Diner, Downtown
Perrysburg, Inc. (DPI) is
conducting a holiday collection with Perrysburg
Christians United (PCU)
of non-perishable food
items, toys and monetary
donations to help families
in need.
Drop-off locations for
canned goods and toys are
located at O~Deer Diner,
Commodore Way, YMCAFort Meigs branch, Massage Works, Comfort
Keepers and Fifth Street
Brick Oven Pub.
Donations will be
accepted through the end
of December.
“Downtown Perrysburg
hopes to use this holiday
season as a way to bring
people of the community
together to achieve the
common goal of working
as a group to help those in
need throughout the Perrysburg area,” said DPI
president Kerry Wellstein.
PCU, established in
1973, is a consortium of
12 Perrysburg churches
that provides for needs of
the community through a
food bank, annual blood
drives, crisis assistance
and a Christmas toy project. PCU serves individuals and families who live
in northern Wood County,
north of State Route 582.
This fall, the food
pantry reorganized to a
“client choice” pantry, said
PCU president Shirley
Kleist.
“As a client choice
pantry, the client walks
along shelves of food and
selects which items will
best feed his or her family,” she explained. “This
allows those with food
allergies and dietary
restrictions to reject foods
which will not be consumed by their families.
The food pantry is
located in the back parking
lot of Grace United
Methodist Church, 601
East Boundary Street. The
Santa Claus will meet with children on Saturday,
December 15 and 22, from 1 to 2 p.m., at O~Deer
Diner. Children have the opportunity to bring a
unwrapped toy or nonperishable food item to be
donated to PCU and have their picture taken with
Santa.

hours of operation are
Mondays, 1 to 3 p.m., and
Fridays, 9 to 11 a.m.
Along with groceries,
clients receive a food
voucher for the purchase
of fresh dairy and meat
products at Kazmaier ’s
grocery store.
In 2011, 544 households used the pantry.
Donations accepted
include instant potatoes,
canned meat, pasta, macaroni and cheese, crackers,
cereal, soap, peanut butter,
canned vegetables, hamburger helper, pork and
beans, and toilet paper.
Currently, the pantry is
in need of crackers,
canned milk and tomato
products.
New, unwrapped toys
for children of all ages
also will be collected
along with monetary donations.
For additional information on PCU or for volunteer opportunities, contact
Mrs. Kleist at 419-8747561.
Santa Claus Comes
to Perrysburg
Santa Claus will be taking time out from his busy
schedule to meet children
in Perrysburg on Saturday,
December 15 and 22, from
1 to 2 p.m., at O~Deer
Diner.
Jim Delph, owner of
Commodore Way, has
partnered with O~Deer
Diner to host Santa Claus.
Children have the opportunity to bring in a toy
and/or non-perishable food
item and have their pic-
tures taken with Santa.
Each child who brings in a
canned good or toy will
receive a free ice cream
cone.
Children also can write
a letter to Santa Claus and
mail it in Santa’s mailbox
outside of the diner. Santa
said he will try to answer
all the letters he receives.

Rachel Johnson discusses social media at chamber luncheon
Rachel Johnson, Perrysburg School District coordinator of institutional advancement, was guest speaker at
the Perrysburg Area Chamber of Commerce November luncheon. Ms. Johnson’s topic–“Social Media: It’s Not
Going Away.”
She explained the process of a social media marketing campaign using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and
Google+. The district coordinator also discussed strategies on keeping a consistent communication flow and
reaching out to stakeholders as a part of a comprehensive communication plan.
“It is a very effective way to reach out to people,” she said. “Don’t be intimidated with social media. You
need to push through your fears and become a tech-savvy communicator. This is not going away.”
Ms. Johnson holds a master’s degree from Bowling Green State University in public adminstration with a
specialization in non-profit management.

How the War of 1812 made America into a World Superpower
How many wars can be
credited with fostering the
military careers of seven
future presidents, spurring
the inspiration for our
national anthem, and proving to the world’s top naval
power that America was a
force to be reckoned with?
In his exhilarating new
book, “Ships of Oak, Guns
of Iron: The War of 1812
and the Forging of the
American Navy,” Dr.
Ronald Utt gives this “forgotten war” its due recognition.
With countless odds
stacked against them, the
American fleet of a mere 17
ships was victorious against
the 500-ship fleet of the
Royal Navy in dangerous
ship-to-ship combat. Ships
of Oak features fast-paced,
play-by-play narration of
these epic battles, proving
that reality can be more
exciting than fiction.
Ships of Oak gives an
up-close, intimate look at
the prickly quirks and superior leadership of Stephen
Decatur, Isaac Hull, Oliver
Hazard Perry, Andrew Jackson, Winfield Scott, and the
people who served under
them.
Ships of Oak is an
intriguing, meticulously
researched exploration of
this war and reveals:
•Eyewitness accounts of
the drama and devastation
of the many battles;
•How the U.S. naval
accomplishments of this war
unified our young nation;
•The in-depth chronicle
of the stirring defense of
New Orleans under the
courageous leadership of
Andrew Jackson;
•How the service and
innovation of the first naval
constructor,
Joshua
Humphreys, gave the American Navy the edge against
the massive, far-advanced
European fleets;
•Scrupulous and detailed
accounts of the heroic acts
from both sides of the war,
and
•How American entrepreneurs advanced the technology of the Navy’s frigates to
improve their efficiency in
battle.
The author weaves the
thrilling story of how the
American Navy was built,
the momentous and devastating burning of the White
House, and how this young
Navy handed the British
Empire a series of embarrassing defeats as our budding nation rose to world
power.

The board of trustees of
the Toledo Community Foundation has awarded a $25,000
grant to the Maumee Valley
Heritage Corridor. The grant
money was awarded to expand programming that highlights
scenic,
cultural,
recreational and historical
sites across the Maumee Valley.
Since 1993, the Heritage
Corridor and its volunteers
have worked on dozens of ongoing projects featuring the
Maumee River and the
Maumee Valley.
“'We have a big story to
tell,” said Dick Kudner,
Maumee Valley Heritage Corridor president. “Too few people are aware of the
importance of the Maumee
River–past, present and future.”
A few facts provide perspective. The Maumee River
is the largest river flowing
into the Great Lakes, which
contains 20 percent of the
world’s total freshwater supply. The Maumee Valley is the
Great Lakes largest watershed–draining across parts of
Indiana, Michigan and Ohio.
It contains some of the
world’s richest soil–thanks to
its unique Great Black
Swamp and glacial history.
According to Mr. Kudner,
the Maumee River has always
been an asset worthy of a
fight.
The Maumee played a significant role in American history as nations and settlers
pushed westward and battled
for control of the Ohio Country and its major waterways.
These highly contested waterways were the interstate highways of the past–traveled by
Native Americans for thousands of years.
Telling this Maumee River
story to visitors as well as residents will play a big role in
the Heritage Corridor’s future
educational efforts, said Mr.
Kudner. “It’s taken many volunteer hours to get us to this
point, and we are sincerely
grateful to the Toledo Community Foundation for its
generous support,” he said.
“At a time when dollars are
lean, this grant will enable the
Heritage Corridor to advance
its mission of promoting the
significance of the Maumee
Valley and Maumee River
from its headwaters in Fort
Wayne to Toledo and Lake
Erie.”
Since 1993, the Maumee
Valley Heritage Corridor's
major accomplishments include initiating National Park
Service studies resulting in
Congress designating the
Fallen Timbers Battlefield and
Ft. Miamis National Historic
Site an affiliated unit of the
National Park Service. Additionally, the MVHC has secured State Scenic Byways
designation for 60 miles of
road along the Maumee River.
Toledo Community Foundation, Inc., is a public charitable organization created by
citizens of our community to
enrich the quality of life for
individuals and families in our
area.
In existence since 1973,
the Foundation has more than
540 funds with assets of approximately $160 million.
The Foundation provides
philanthropic services for individuals, families, businesses
and corporations to meet their
charitable giving needs.
when I was a young kid.
Pizza was new then. Nobody knew what it was.
Some took to it right away.
My brother Danny didn’t
care for it, although he likes
it now. My older brother Bill
still doesn’t like it. It’s
funny, because now I work
for one of the biggest pizza
guru’s in the world, Mike Illitch.”
After I graduated from
high school, I wanted to
play ball.
I was offered scholarships for college, but it was
Orioles.
But you had to be careful
about signing, because you
lost your amateur status if
you signed a contract. I didn’t want to sign if I wasn’t
ready. Earl Weaver was the
minor league coach then and
said I wasn’t ready.
In fact, Earl, who is in
the Hall of Fame now, sent
me home. He told me I
needed to find something
else to do,” Jim remembered, smiling.

Kiwanis Club members share Christmas spirit of giving
‘A Good
Samaritan
Christmas
Concert’
is Dec. 16
The Hot Flashes are joining forces with Pemberville
churches to present “A Good
Samaritan Christmas Concert” on Sunday, December
16, at the Eastwood High
School auditorium.
Doors open at 2 p.m., allowing time to enjoy the refreshments, fellowship and
the silent auction, with the
concert starting at 3 p.m.
The Hot Flashes is comprised of several women from
the
Pemberville-Bowling
Green area who sing ’50s and
’60s Doo Wop. Last year they
presented
“A Hot Pink
Christmas” concert that garnered nearly $5,000 for the
Angel Tree Project.
The Hot Flashes will present their Christmas program
with some surprises and several new additions, including
appearances by the Eastwood
Jazz Band, Doug and Lisa
Ruck and Phillip Farmer.
There will be a silent auction with more than 30 baskets of gifts for purchase and
refreshments consisting of
homemade cookies and candies supplied by the churches
involved.
“A Good Samaritan
Christmas Concert” will benefit the Good Samaritan
Fund and Community Food
Pantry which helps with food
items, prescriptions and utility bill shut-offs for those in
need in the Eastwood School
District.
This year the fund has received a challenge grant from
Thrivent Financial Foundation, which will match 50
cents to the dollar for every
dollar raised up to $10,000.
There is no admission
charge, but a freewill offering
will be collected.
For more information, call
Carol Bailey 419-287-4848

It is that time again for the Perrysburg Kiwanis to be
Santa’s helpers and distribute joy and toys to selected
community families. The program is made possible
through the assistance of the Salvation Army, Al
Grabowski, Meijer Store Manager and Meijer staff. The Perrysburg Kiwanis Club is a service club dedicated to the
service and helping of children.
Members have provided playground equipment, and
sanitizers to the local schools.
The club provided 10 $1,000 math and science scholarships to qualified senior students from Perrysburg,
Rossford and Penta.
A yearly monetary gift is given to Way Public Library to
purchase books and furniture for their children’s library.
Free CHAD identification stickers for baby car-seat carriers are distributed from the library and the Perrysburg
Fire Departments. Members participate in the ongoing
project of the Ohio District of Kiwanis First Lady’s Project
called, “Project Backpack.”
The backpacks are distributed to the Children’s Services Department in every county in Ohio. This provides
each child, in an emergency situation, with a backpack
filled with personal items, small toys, comfort blankets and
a few age appropriate items of clothing.
New members are always welcome. For information,
contact Ron Stewart, 419-874-2401.

Owens students present ‘An Evening of Chocolate’
Owens students Linzy Packard, Jerilyn St. Clair, Shelbie Pinkelman and Amber Simmet show off their delectable
desserts prior to the buffet event.
Area residents recently
were invited to experience an
array of foods ranging from
chocolate truffles to candy
cane bark at the Owens Community College Terrace View
Café as students within the
Culinary Arts Program’s Baking and Pastry II class presented “An Evening of
Chocolate” during a themed
dessert buffet event.
The Baking and Pastry II
class opened the College’s student-run Terrace View Café to
the public as attendees enjoyed
the opportunity to partake of
Parisian macaroon cookies,
chocolate cake pops, candy
cane bark, hazelnut ice cream
with brownie, white chocolate
pistachio cookies, an assortment of chocolate truffles and
chocolate with dipping pretzels, marsh mellow and strawberries. Owens’ restaurant is
coordinated by the Food, Nutrition and Hospitality Department.
Owens students showcasing their talents were Shelbie
Pinkelman of Metamora, Jerilyn St. Clair of Swanton,
Amber Simmet of Delphos
and Linzy Packard of Bowling
Green. The Baking and Pastry
II class is taught by Owens
Food, Nutrition and Hospitality Instructor Kelly Wolfe.
The Baking and Pastry II
class is designed to provide
students with experiential
learning related to fundamental baking techniques, food science and sensory perception as
frameworks, among other academic areas. Classroom instruction
includes
the
examination of taste, baking
and pastry techniques, ingredients and spices, as well as academic curriculum that builds
on previous educational learning in such areas as recipe research, recipe production for
consumption, recipe evalua-
tion and cost analysis.
Owens Culinary Arts Program provides students with
the skills and knowledge necessary for a career in the rapidly growing culinary arts
industry.
Both the associate’s degree
and certificate prepares students for food preparation po-
sitions in restaurants, hotels,
health care facilities, resorts
and country clubs.
In addition to culinary arts,
the college offers an associate’s degree in hospitality
management.
As part of the program, students are provided with the
skills and educational curricu-
lum for a successful career in
the diverse areas of hospitality
management.
Owens’ Department of
Food, Nutrition and Hospitality also offers a three-semester
Baking and Pastry Certificate
Program for those individuals
interested in becoming a professional baker or pastry chef.

Messenger Journal readers challenged to test their knowledge of popular Christmas movies, TV shows Aurora Project Inc. seeks
What would the holidays be
without snowflakes falling
outside, a mug of hot cocoa in
hand and a favorite Christmas
movie on television?
Choose from among classic
flicks you have watched year
after year or new movies
vying for spots as soon-to-be
favorites.
Watching
Christmas
movies is a holiday tradition
for many families. So much so
that lines from popular movies
are easily remembered and
recognized.
Those who can recite
movies verbatim might enjoy
testing their mettle with the
following Christmas quiz
loaded with memorable
quotes from some holiday
classics.
Movie Quotes Quiz
1. “It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It
came without packages, boxes
or bags.”
2. “Uh, since the United
States Government declares
this man to be Santa Claus,
this court will not dispute it.
Case dismissed.”
3. “If TV has taught me
anything, it’s that miracles always happen to poor kids at
Christmas. It happened to
Tiny Tim, it happened to
Charlie Brown, it happened to
The Smurfs, and it’s gonna
happen to us!”
4. “I want an official Red
Ryder, carbine action, 200
shot range model air rifle.”
5. “Bless this highly nutritious microwavable macaroni
and cheese dinner and the
people who sold it on sale.
Amen.”
6. “Iris, in the movies, we
have leading ladies and we
have the best friend. You, I
can tell, are a leading lady, but
for some reason, you’re behaving like the best friend.”
7. “Who gave you permission to tell Charlie there was
no Santa Claus? I think if
we’re going to destroy our
son’s delusions, I should be a
part of it.”
8. “I want to wash my
hands, my face, my hair with
snow.”
9. “We’re not just doing
this for us. We’re doing it for
the kids. For every kid who
ever sat on Santa’s lap. For
every little girl who left cookies and milk for Santa on
Christmas night. For every little boy who opens a package
Christmas morning and finds
clothes instead of toys. It
breaks my heart.”
10. “We all know that
Christmas is a big commercial
racket. It’s run by a big Eastern syndicate you know.”
11. “I fear you more than
any spectre I have seen. But as
I know your purpose is to do
me good, and as I hope to live
to be another man from what I
was, I am prepared to bear
your company, and do it with
a thankful heart. Will you not
speak to me?”
12. “Seeing is believing,
but sometimes the most real
things in the world are the
things we can’t see.”
13. “Light the lamp, not the
rat, light the lamp, not the rat!
Put me out, put me out, put me
out!”
14. “Tell me something,
Billy. How come a cute little
guy like this can turn into a
thousand ugly monsters?”
15. “Wanna see some
magic? OK, let’s watch you
disappear!”
16. “That’s not ‘my’ Christmas! ‘My’ Christmas is filled
with laughter, and joy... and
this: my Sandy Claws outfit. I
want you to make it.”
17. “That’s neither pig nor
pork, it’s beef.”
18. “I passed through the
seven levels of the Candy
Cane forest, through the sea of
swirly twirly gum drops, and
then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel.”
1. “The Grinch Who Stole
Christmas”
2. “Miracle on 34th
Street”

PET OF THE WEEK
Campbell: Domestic Long Hair, orange
stripe
Hello there, I'm Campbell! I came to the
humane society with my head stuck
inside of a soup can, so the staff here
decided to give me the clever name of
Campbell. I'm a sweet, timid girl that is a
little shy at first. Once you start petting
me, you’ll see that I am such a little lover
and I love attention. Give me some time
to warm up to you and I promise you
won't regret it! I think a quiet home without little kids would be best for
me because sometimes loud noises scare me. If you’re looking for a
sweet cat that makes an excellent cuddle buddy then I’m the girl 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.

Oh, most beautiful Flower of Mt.
Carmel, fruitful Vine, Splendor of

God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in

humbly beseech you from the bottom
of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make your request). There are

veys memories of TMA and
its collection together with
other people, places and objects that have shaped her career and life.
Prints and Authors from
the Time of Manet, through
January 13, in Works on
Paper Gallery. Édouard
Manet (1832–83) came of
age during a time of prolific
change in Paris and in French
society in general. While earlier artists produced works of
biblical and mythological
subjects full of history and allegory, artists like Manet
began to paint more freely
and to be inspired by the life
around them. Prints, photographs and illustrated books
are included in this exhibition
of artworks produced during
Manet’s lifetime. Approximately 120 works by some of
the most talented artists
working in the period–including Renoir, Corot, Daumier,
Whistler and Manet himself–are featured.
Museum People: Faces
of TMA, through January 10,
in Gallery 1. Museum people–those who visit and support art institutions–come
from all walks of life. Last
spring, hundreds of Toledo
Museum of Art community
members of all ages stopped
by to have photo headshots
taken by local award-winning photographer Jim
Rohman and his assistant
Giles Cooper to be included
in this exhibition, featuring a
sea of nearly 700 faces. The
collective community portraits are shown floor-to-ceiling, “salon style,” adjacent to
the Manet: Portraying Life
and Made in Hollywood:
Photographs from the John
Kobal Foundation exhibitions.
Community Gallery
•Community
Gallery
Portrait Invitational with

media. Also in the Community Gallery this season, see
portraits made by participants
in
TMA
Community
ArtReach summer workshops.
•Portraying Life in
Toledo Photo Exhibition,
through January 10, in the
Community Gallery. In the
spirit of this fall’s Season of
Portraiture, TMA invited
community members to submit original photographs to
the “Portraying Life in
Toledo” photography contest
and exhibition. Photographs
chosen capture everyday life
in Greater Toledo and feature
at least one individual. The
public voted on their favorites
and a panel selected the portraits in the show. Scenarios
range from sporting events to
family happenings, park outings and kids being kids.
