ROSSFORD, WOOD COUNTY, OHIO 75¢ SINGLE COPY Second roundabout considered for another city intersection By Beth Church Rossford city officials are pursuing plans and funding for a possible roundabout at the intersection of Dixie Highway (State Route 65), Lime City and Colony roads. “An application for safety funding from ODOT will be submitted,” said Councilman Robert Ruse at an April 28 council meeting. The public works committee met April 14 and discussed the option of a roundabout. The committee has been working to improve the unusual intersection at Route 65, Lime City and Colony roads since last year. Councilman Ruse has asked Mannik & Smith, the city’s engineering firm, to produce a rough drawing highlighting a pedestrian corridor linking the intersection of Lime City and Route 65 to another proposed roundabout at Lime City and Buck roads. He also suggested that if the Route 65 roundabout is funded, it may be cost effective to combine the construction contracts for both roundabouts. Mr. Ruse told council that the Route 65 project would fit nicely with the addition of sidewalks along Lime City to All Saints School, which will be completed through a Safe Routes to Schools grant. Councilman Ruse also urged council to take up the issue of improving the Lime City and Buck roads intersection. “We do need to make a decision,” he said. “It’s time to come to the table.” He provided council members with a packet of information explaining “where the process is at.” DLZ engineering firm analyzed five alternatives for that area along with the Buck Road and Penta Career Center driveway intersection, based on updated traffic counts. The purpose of the project is to improve safety and install a traffic signal or roundabout to increase the capacity of the current intersections. In the past, council has voted down proposals for a roundabout at Lime City and Buck. However, Councilman Ruse noted that the new alternatives are only 40 percent of the cost of past options, and $2.3 million “on the high end.” “The grant will cover the entire cost, except a 20 percent match and right-ofway,” he added. Within three to four weeks, council should make a decision on the issue, he said. City Finance Update Council received a first quarter report on city finances, and City Administrator Ed Ciecka noted that revenue is 13.7 percent ahead of last year at this time. “Overall, the revenues are looking very strong,” he said. “We’re starting to see the fruits of the economy improving.” He acknowledged that the closing of Giant Eagle, a major employer in the city, will impact income tax revenues. At the same time, he said, the opening of Camper World in the Crossroads should help to balance the finances. Construction employees who work more than 12 days at the site must pay city income tax. Mr. Ciecka said the city also is within budget on expenses, although wages for all unionized employees increased this year. The public works department is 30 percent over on expenses from last year, he said, primarily from overtime expenses in the winter totaling about $9,000. Hillside Drive Construction Complaints Several council members and a resident expressed concerns about the quality of work at the Hillside Drive sewer project now under construction by Northwestern Water and Sewer District. Resident Bob Densic told council he noticed several errors with work including the way cuts are being made across the road, the improper marking and protection of open cuts and the trench work. “I’m happy they’re here doing this, but let’s do it right,” he said. “The work- manship is shoddy at best.” Mr. Densic questioned whether a city official should be overseeing the project, and charging that time to NWSD. Council member Caroline Zuchowski Eckel also noted problems with the work. “They are supposed to do compaction testing, and they are not,” she said. Councilman Ruse said city leaders have had “a healthy discussion” with NWSD officials about backfill and safety. He additionally contacted NWSD by telephone the following week to emphasize their concerns. Mr. Ruse said the public works committee also discussed the Hillside paving project during its recent meeting. Three options were brought forth by Mannik & Smith, including the addition of curbs, sidewalks and possibly a cul-de-sac. The committee talked about the need for assessing property owners to pay for roadway improvements. “Not just for this project, but for all paving projects for current unimproved streets,” Councilman Ruse said. “The committee feels this is a necessity, and we should review assessing the cost difference between a simple resurfacing and the cost for curb/gutter/storm/sidewalks.” Route 795/Crossroads Intersection Problems Changes that the Ohio Department of Transportation recently made to the traffic signals at State Route 795 and Crossroads Parkway are causing new problems. Councilman Dan Wagner is concerned because traffic on westbound Route 795 trying to turn left onto the parkway is backing up in the left lane. “Over the weekend, it was backed up 15 cars deep in the busy lane, and cars are coming over the hill,” he said. “It’s more accidents waiting to happen.” ODOT changed the traffic pattern after numerous crashes occurred with drivers westbound on Route 795 turning left onto the parkway Our Service People Voters approve two rec, two fire levies Councilman Duricek honored at Arbor Day The late Rossford City Councilman Chuck Duricek was honored during the city’s annual Arbor Day celebration last week. A tree was planted in memory of Councilman Duricek, who passed away in 2013. He served one term on council when he was elected in 1999. He was appointed in March 2009 to fill a vacant position, and then was reelected in 2013. A lifetime Rossford resident, he was the co-owner of Duricek Automotive in downtown Rossford, which, at 60 years, is the city’s oldest family-owned business. Taking part in the tree planting ceremony above are Duricek family members including his wife, Pamela; brother Mike; sons Nick and Nathan; daughter-in-law Meaghan; grandchildren Ethan and Charlotte, and brother-in-law Mark Domalski. The event is organized annually by the Rossford Tree Commission with members Betty Woods, John Vrablic Jr., Barb Montague, Jeanne Zajac, Vickie Gallagher, Dave Merrell, John Folcik and Karen Freeman. A Santomi dogwood tree was planted, that Mr. Vrablic described as “a truly beautiful small specimen tree” with large, showy pink flowers in spring. It is a slow growing tree expected to reach 15 feet. “The pointy leaves turn an outstanding scarlet red in the fall,” he explained. “It features an abundance of large, red raspberry-like fruits from early to mid-fall.” Below, Mayor Neil MacKinnon III, far left, reads a proclamation in honor of Arbor Day, urging citizens to plant trees. With him are Mrs. Woods, Mr. Vrablic and Mr. Folcik. This is the 17th year that Rossford has been named a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation. Rossford meets the four standards to become a Tree City: a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program and an Arbor Day observance. Rossford voters largely approved two fire and two recreation levies during Tuesday’s primary election. According to unofficial results from the Wood County Board of Elections, the vote totals were: •479 votes in favor (68.53 percent) and 220 votes against (31.47 percent) a five-year, 0.4-mill replacement levy to fund recreation, parks and the Rossford Community Recreation Center operations. •439 votes in favor (64.18 percent) and 245 votes against (35.82 percent) a five-year, 0.4-mill replacement levy to fund recreation, parks and the RCRC capital improvements. •498 votes in favor (70.24 percent) and 211 votes against (29.76 percent) a five-year, 1-mill renewal levy for maintaining Rossford Fire and Rescue Department apparatus and buildings, fire protection operations and paying firefighting personnel. •515 votes in favor (72.74 percent) and 193 votes against (27.26 percent) a five-year, 0.6-mill renewal levy for maintaining fire apparatus and buildings. Each recreation levy generates about $49,320 annually, and together will cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $28 each year. The 1-mill fire levy generates about $123,029 annually, and will cost the owner of a $100,000 home $30.63 each year. The 0.6-mill fire levy generates about $73,817 annually, and will cost the owner of a $100,000 home $18.38 each year. In other Election Day decisions, Wood County Republican voters selected Doris Herringshaw as their candidate in a three-way race for county commissioner. Mrs. Herringshaw, of Bowling Green, is the incumbent who has served since January 2013, when she was appointed to the office. She received 3,663 votes (72.87 percent), defeating Kristi Kennelly of Perrysburg, with 458 votes (9.11 percent), and James Matuszak of Perrysburg, with 906 votes (18.02 percent). Mrs. Herringshaw will face Democrat Andrew Newlove of Bowling Green in the November election. Voters also considered State Issue 1, a proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution to fund public infrastructure projects by permitting the issuance of general obligation bonds. Ohio voters approved the issue, and in Wood County, the vote totals were 5,973 votes in favor (64.83 percent) and 3,241 votes against (35.17 percent).

Local officials urge state to support joint economic zones By Beth Church A public forum on April 25 drew comments from more than 100 local officials– most pleading for a reversal of an impending state policy on joint economic development zones (JEDZs). State Senators Randy Gardner and Edna Brown hosted the forum, seeking input on House Bill 289, controversial legislation that would change how local governments create and maintain a JEDZ. “We are here to hear what you have to say,” Senator Brown said. “We are monitoring this. It’s unfortunate the bill passed the way it did.” A JEDZ is an area created among two or more cities and/or townships imposing a municipal income tax, designating an area for economic development. The businesses located in the zone and their employees have to pay the income tax to the JEDZ. However, HB 289 would severely restrict the creation of new zones and impose different regulations on those already operating. State Representative Barbara Sears summarized the consequences of the bill– “we’re doing it right up here, and they’re not doing it right down there–and we’re bearing the brunt of that.” Abuses of the system were taking place among JEDZs in central and southern Ohio, including those that drew in companies against their wishes and used revenue from the income tax with no benefit to the zone itself. The forum brought together leaders from Toledo, Holland, Springfield Township, Maumee, Whitehouse, Rossford, Oregon, Northwood, Wood County and Lucas County. Rossford Mayor Neil MacKinnon III, Rossford Schools Superintendent Dan Creps and Treasurer James Rossler Jr., Rossford attorney Rex Huffman and Perrysburg Township trustees Bob Mack and Craig LaHote attended. Springfield Township Trustee Andy Glenn said two proposed JEDZs for major projects in the community could be eliminated by the new state law. One zone would be creat- State Senators Randy Gardner and Edna Brown recently hosted a public forum, attended by more than 100 local officials, to discuss possible changes to a new law on joint economic development zones (JEDZs). ed with the Village of Holland in the Airport Highway and I475 area with Holland’s income tax applied to those businesses so the revenue could fund police services. Mr. Glenn said there has been a 16 percent decrease in the township budget in the past five years, but the contract with the Lucas County sheriff costs nearly $700,000. Paying for additional police services would reduce crime in that I-475 area, “where we’ve seen a rash of break-ins, and business owners are asking us to work something out,” Mr. Glenn said. “That’s going to be a huge benefit to our township.” Another potential JEDZ could be located in the neighborhood of Dorr Street and I475 where a proposed interchange is to be located. The partners in the project are Springfield, Toledo, the University of Toledo and Lucas County engineer’s office, he said. The partners would each need to contribute about $1.5 million to fund half of the construction cost, Mr. Glenn explained. Since the township cannot enact an income tax, creating a JEDZ there would allow Toledo’s income tax to be applied. “It gives Springfield Township the only option we have to pay that $1.5 million loan,” the trustee said. He described the zone as “a very effective tool.” “Don’t throw away the entire tool–fix that tool,” Mr. Glenn added. Senator Gardner questioned whether a joint economic development district (JEDD) could be enacted instead of a JEDZ. Mr. Glenn replied that a major obstacle with a JEDD in an already-developed area is that 100 percent of business owners must agree to its creation. “It [JEDD] works better on undeveloped land,” the trustee said. Senator Gardner pointed out that some JEDZ abuses in Ohio were taking place when the zones were created “with zero support, zero buy-in and zero input” from the affected businesses. “If that’s true, is it fair to have that in the Ohio Revised Code?” he said. Mrs. Brown thanked Mr. Glenn for his comments and encouraged him to provide his testimony again before the Senate Finance Committee in Columbus, and he agreed. Sheila McAdams, an attorney representing Spencer Township, spoke of the positive results of a JEDZ with Spencer and Whitehouse. As former Maumee law director, she was involved in two previous JEDZs. Prior to the zones becoming a practice in Ohio, she said “there were hostile relations between communities, distrust between cities and townships,” and that hostility and distrust spread to other local agencies in northwest Ohio. The zones were established for local governments to work together cooperatively, she added, and “relations have greatly improved.” “They have worked exactly as they were intended to work,” Ms. McAdams said. Because Spencer Township has limited property tax revenue, applying Whitehouse’s income tax generates funds that can serve the industrial park, she said. Funds are used to extend water and sewer services, build roads and interchanges and provide other infrastructure. Chuck Hoecherl, a Monclova Township trustee, recalled that the JEDZ covering the Briarfield business park was established in 2002 as “a defense mechanism” by his township to prevent its annexation by Toledo or Maumee. Since then, that JEDZ among Monclova, Toledo and Maumee has been very successful. He finds “a new spirit of regionalization” in northwest Ohio. In the past five years, Monclova has received $275,000 from the income tax imposed in that JEDZ. Those taxes allowed the township fire department to purchase a ladder truck to protect the large businesses– equipment not needed previously to serve residences and small farms in Monclova, he said. The tax revenue also was Please turn to page 3➧ Throwback Thursday This “Throwback Thursday” photo commemorates the Rossford Record Journal’s 75th anniversary this year.

In 1801, Mr. Sawyer and Sawyer Quarry History Charles Henry Sawyer his brother-in-law Walter purchased 110 acres at Lime Scott formed the Lime City Company. In 1903, they sold a small strip of land to the railroad. CSX still runs trains through the site today. At some point, the quarry began to fill with water and quarrying was expanded to encompass a greater surface area rather than going deeper. Activity at the quarry ceased during the Great Depression in the 1930s. With the quarry closed, the family chose to use the property for recreational purposes. They rode the old mules that once transported the limestone and enjoyed picnics, swimming and hiking. As Charles (Buck) Sawyer and family members became increasingly involved in scouts, the quarry became a favorite destination for outdoor scouting activities. Lake Sawyer at Camp Miakonda in Toledo was later named after Buck Sawyer. Through the 1900s, the family continued to visit the quarry for ice skating and fishing in the winter, mushroom hunting and picnics in the spring and month-long vacations in the summer. After 131 years and five generations, the Sawyer family donated the land for others to enjoy and learn about the early limestone quarry industry and its significance to the Toledo area. The Wood County Fraternal Order of Police will host the annual Wood County Police Memorial Service on Wednesday, May 14, at noon. The public is invited to the service, which will be held on the steps of the Wood County Courthouse in Bowling Green. The ceremony pays tribute to law enforcement officers who over the years have lost their lives in the line of duty in Wood County. Among the 12 officers honored is the late Patrolman Clifton Miller of the Rossford Police Department, who died in 1966. A permanent memorial, engraved with the officers’ names, is located at the courthouse. The ceremony will feature a proclamation by the Wood County Commissioners, a reading of the names of the fallen officers and attendance by many of the area police chiefs. This year the ceremony will pay special tribute to two North Baltimore officers. In 1896, Patrolman Jesse Baker was killed in the line of duty, and in 1932, Marshall Jay Davis was shot and killed while on duty.

Township Police Reports Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: The decision of the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation to invest $50 million of taxpayer money in a Wisconsin real estate fund is truly Coingate deja vu. Not only is the board, which is appointed entirely by Governor Kasich, taking investment out of state, but they’re also putting it in the hands of a prominent national Republican donor, Jon Hammes. Kasich’s Democratic challenger, Ed FitzGerald, rightly pointed out the tangled nature of that investment, saying, “If someone told me when I was in the FBI that a government board, appointed by a Republican governor, made an investment in an out-ofstate fund run by a major Republican donor and that the only other states who invested in that fund also have Republican governors, Marriage Licenses The following individuals applied for marriage licenses with the Lucas County Probate Court, April 1 through April 30, 2014.

City officials urged the change, blaming problems on two causes–the timing of the left turn signal for westbound drivers and the speed of traffic coming down the hill eastbound on 795. That speed is deceptive to drivers waiting to turn. ODOT changed the signal so the green arrow becomes red, stopping all turns while eastbound traffic flows. However, now that traffic is stopped, vehicles are backed up waiting to turn. After the meeting, Mr. Ciecka said city officials will work with ODOT to adjust the timing sequence of the traffic light.

Mr. Staczek said council needs accurate numbers of citizens who are interested “Restoring your teeth can restore your health and appearance for a lifetime.” Perrysburg Family Dentistry 419-872-9191 • General Dentistry Jon B.

A cold patch sidewalk extension will be placed to the curb at the Wales and Glenwood northeast corner. The contractor also will contact two residences about mailbox issues. He additionally was made aware that any further settling or expansion of cracks parallel to the curbs after crack sealing may result in a warranty claim, Mr. Ruse said. •Heard from Mr. Ruse that a civil service test for a new position in the public works department will be May 24. Council’s next meeting will be at 7 p.m., Monday, May 12, at the municipal building, 133 Osborn Street. The meeting is open to the public. A Columbus Gas representative will attend that council meeting to discuss the upcoming gas line replacement project in Rossford. I’d have told them that’s a clue.” Though Mr. Hammes has not as yet contributed to statewide candidates in Ohio, it is hard to ignore the similarities of this Wisconsin investment to the Tom Noe Coingate scandal in which former Governor Taft was fined for his involvement in the decision of the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation to invest $50 million in an investment scheme run by a Republican donor. While I hope the similarities will end there, after suffering through CoinGate, Ohioans deserve full transparency from Governor Kasich. The governor has yet to disclose all of his office’s interactions with the Wisconsin investment fund and until he does, Ohioans have a right to be worried.

Rossford Eagles and Auxiliary By Richard Staffan The Eagles had a busy start the first of the year and end of 2013; first with our 75th anniversary, then the men’s state bowling tournament at Interstate Lanes, and the women’s state bowling tournament at Maumee. The month of May will be slow. We start on Sun- day, May 11 with Mother’s Day. Tuesday, May 13 will be the auxiliary voting at 7:30 p.m. and their meeting. Thursday, May 15, the men’s Aerie officers will meet at 7 p.m. with the regular meeting to follow at 8 p.m. Saturday, May 17 is installation of officers, new Local officials urge state to support joint economic zones ÁContinued from page 1 used toward Monclova’s $600,000 contract with the Lucas County sheriff’s office for road patrol, and it helped to purchase a new snowplow. Several companies in JEDZs–Service Spring, Willoughby Supply and Savage-McVicker–have created 100 new jobs, he said. Mr. Hoecherl urged the state senators to amend HB 289 so it will not eliminate JEDZs in Ohio. He recognized the need “to curb abuses by other townships in other parts of Ohio,” but assured that “we’re not punished along with those other bad apples.” Senator Gardner agreed, noting some abuses stemmed from the current JEDZ regulations that do not require income tax revenue to be spent in the zone. Mr. Hoecherl also pointed out another proposed JEDZ to create an interchange on U.S. 23 at U.S. 20A. The partners discussing that zone are Monclova, Maumee, Lucas County and the Lucas County Port Authority. Building the interchange would require a local match of $12.15 million, and “Monclova could never come up with that,” the trustee said. But imposing an income tax on businesses in that area-that would benefit from improved access of an interchange–could provide the funds. “The zone is a vehicle we can use to cover our local match,” Mr. Hoecherl added. Richard Carr, mayor of Maumee, also discussed the benefits of the proposed JEDZ at the intersection of U.S. 23 and U.S. 20A covering an area by the former Ford stamping plant and stretching to Toledo Express Airport. “It would develop 500 acres in that area,” he said. Mayor Carr urged state officials to listen to northwest Ohio leaders and their successes with the zones. “They’ve made a law out of bad facts instead of taking the good facts that have happened up here,” he said. Eileen Granata, of the City of Toledo law department, read a letter from Toledo Mayor Mike Collins, who could not attend the forum. In the letter, the mayor said he believes “economic sustainability is determined by our ability to collaborate with our neighbors.” Toledo is part of seven JEDZs and its most successful has been the zone with Maumee and Monclova. More than $2.5 million has been invested there and 200 jobs created or retained, the mayor said. He recommends that state legislators allow current JEDZs to continue operating indefinitely. Senator Brown said she has met with Mayor Collins and other Toledo officials to discuss HB 289. “I’m well aware of what their wish is,” she said. Senator Gardner read a letter he received from Steve Serchuk, a commercial developer in Toledo for more than 36 years, who praised the use of JEDZs. He proposed the creation WINNER BERNIE A.

If caught early, the five-year survival rate is 98 percent. Breast cancer affects everyone. And on Saturday, May 10, an estimated 6,000 northwest Ohio residents will join together at the Town Center at Levis Commons for the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. The non-competitive 5K walk unites the community in an effort to celebrate breast cancer survivors, to educate people about reducing their breast cancer risk, and to raise funds for research and treatment. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer has raised more than $460 million nationally with 165 walks held across the country. This year marks the eighth annual Strides event in northwest Ohio which has raised more than $600,000 since its inaugural year. The 2014 goal is to raise $126,000 locally to support the ACS mission to save lives by helping people stay well, helping people get well, by finding cures and fighting back against breast cancer. Mary Beth and Rick, from 101.5 The River, will serve as masters of ceremonies for the annual Strides walk. The pair has participated in the event since its inaugural year in 2006. Bowling Green High School senior Abby Paskvan will sing the National Anthem during the opening ceremony. Abby’s most recent CD, “Travelin’ Back,” was released in 2013–her third CD.

Business News The financial-services firm Edward Jones won the 2014 TNS Choice Award for outstanding performance in investment services, according to TNS, a global research consultancy. The TNS Choice Awards recognize financial-services firms and banks that outperform their competitors in acquiring, retaining and developing clients. The selection of Edward Jones was based on data provided by more than 6,900 U.S. households with $100,000 or more in investable assets who participated in TNS’ Affluent Market Research Program. The analysis considered several measures of client acquisition, retention, satisfaction, and client loyalty across a comprehensive set of competing firms to identify top performers. Study results are based on experiences and perceptions of consumers surveyed. The global research consultancy states that Edward Jones’ superior client experience is based on strong advisor relationships and an extensive branch network of 13,000 financial advisors. The firm earns high client satisfaction scores, which is rewarded with remarkably strong client retention, according to TNS.

Young Adult Librarian Matt Harbauer presents first place winner, Emily Price, with her award. First Place–High School “The Piano Player” Swiftly, gracefully, the girl walks upon the stage To reach the piano of shining black. Adjust the seat and place the music, A song is ready to fill our hearts. But there is always fear at first, A sense of dread to release her soul To a group of those who may not fathom The dreams hidden within her tune. And her hands dance with her joy! And the piano sings out with a laugh! There’s a sense of peace in those who listen, And those who read music truly understand Evening & Saturday appointments available.

It flows from her and fills the room. She’s mastered the keys of the instrument ... And she’s unlocked the entire world. Emily Price, senior Rossford High School Second Place–Junior High “Final Resting Place” My heart was broken on this day In 2006, the month of May. When a man came by to say Our beloved David passed away. He was so young, he was so brave. Yet now he lay inside a grave. Now the truth that I must face, Arlington is his final resting place. Emilia Christoff, seventh grade Rossford Junior High School High school winners: Jacob Miller, left, and Emily Price, right, with Matt Harbauer. First Place–Junior High “What Makes Me, Me” Third Place–High School “Sweet Dreams” As I lay my head down I feel this lone pain on my crown Exhausted from this long day Hoping my bad thoughts go away I can feel my heart beat At the same time I feel all too weak. I close my eyes as the room turns dark I feel a sense of relaxing as the air grows soft The tension in my body flows off like a snake As my imagination begins to come aloft I finally feel at peace and rest As my body lay on this cotton nest. I have now found myself alone Sitting next to an old red wood tree Next to a small creek, with the light barely peeking through I feel in paradise as I lay my hand on my knee There are many animals about Squirrels, birds, foxes and deer alike This view is all too perfect For the lone traveler to take a hike. As I exhale my long held breath I close my eyes and become as silent as death Once my eyes open again I sit on the hillside of a rugged green hill The sunset reminds me of a younger me As I feel the cool of the evening chill The grass stabs my back as I lay back I see a goose herd has returned from down yonder I see a little one separate from the herd Luckily they spot and guide him before he could endlessly wander I have now the feeling of being rested I’m glad of this vision I chose to make Though like all good things It must end and I must wake. The sun greets my eyes with light And I feel very much alive I yawn once or twice Than all my energy begins to arrive I gaze out the window and listen As I hear the robins tweet I smile and recollect on my own creation The dream was no more than bittersweet. Jacob Miller, senior Penta Career Center What makes me, me Is it the DNA in my veins? My total family tree The shoes on my feet My selfies on lnstagram The friends I call afterschool My overall GPA The things I like on Facebook or Pinterest How fast I got the newest iPhone The house I live in The clothes I wear My favorite celebrity How I like to do my hair If I still have a teddy bear If I live under a rock or not How big my TV screen is The part-time job I have in the summer If I like pizza or not If I dislike Miley Cyrus or Justin Bieber How many sports I compete in Who my favorite teachers are IDK All I know is that I am myself and that myself is ME. Emoni Harmon, seventh grade, Rossford Junior High School Second Place High School I experienced change in my life. Change is the one constant in our lives. Things will not stay the same no matter how much we would like them to. There are changes that we looked forward to and changes that we fear. When a life changes, we have two choices in how we should respond to it. We can despair that a change has come and assume that things will be worse, or we can look with excitement at the new possibilities that the changes present. Life has its experiences that we encounter as we go through life. Day by day struggles and heartbreaks are experienced by the world’s creatures. As a human being, when we encounter a challenge, we have freedom to choose how to react to all of the crossroads of life. That decision we all make has significance. The tiniest choice that we had made will go throughout the entire universe.

A kind couple took her in and nursed her back to health. Other than missing her teeth, she is in perfect health now. Sabrina can be a little shy, but once she gets to know you, she is very loving. She would love nothing more than to curl up on the couch with her forever family. Sabrina is a lovely domestic short hair and dilute tortoiseshell mix. If you think your home could be her new forever home, then drop by and fill out an adoption application. Nicolaus, or Nicky, is a very sweet-tempered mixed terrier male who absolutely loves his baby pool and spends a lot of time playing in it. Nicky is a little shy and timid when he first meets people, but once someone crouches down to his level and he gets to know that person, he almost immediately becomes that person’s best bud! Nicky would be best suited to a home in which he is the only animal. If you’re interested in making Nicky part of your family, then drop by the shelter to meet him in person. Bring this ad to the Humane Society and receive $10 off the adoption of our featured animals of the week! Please visit or call the Wood County Humane Society at 419-352-7339 to learn more about these great pets. All of our adoptable animals can be viewed by visiting www.WoodCountyHumaneSociety.org.

Pre-registration is required due to class size limitations. This course is approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and meets Ohio’s boating education requirement, which became effective January 1, 2000. The law requires anyone born on or after January 1, 1982, to successfully complete either a NASBLA-approved boating course or a proficiency examination before operating a boat greater than 10 horsepower. Successfully completing the course also may qualify boaters for a discount on boat owner’s insurance.

Coach Todd Eckel, who has spent the past 15 years guiding the Bulldog thin clads, believes that reaching the state meet is a realistic goal for several of the athletes on this year’s team. “We hope to take a large group to state–relays and individuals. We are definitely capable of that,” Coach Eckel said. Last year the team finished in the middle of league standings and sent several athletes to regional competition. Ryan Clay was a state qualifier in the 800m. Clay has graduated, though, and the boys’ team is left with “no real superstars,” according to Coach Eckel. The only exception is Nate Childress in the shot and discus. Childress in the early going has already broken the school record of 157’ previously set by Greg Weber in 1970. Childress’ throw of 158’ 2 is the kind of effort that could help propel an otherwise young boys team to some success by the season’s finish. “We have a lot of quality depth with the boys, but not a lot of people who can score on their own,” Coach Eckel commented. “We can put together a nice relay team, and we should be good for the future.” Meanwhile the girls team is a sharp contrast. Despite being low on numbers, the girls have four standout sprinters and good all- around athletes who can compete with some of the best competition in the state. Coach Eckel acknowledged that it will be vital to keep this core of girls healthy as the season progresses, but they are all good enough to win relays at invitationals. The 4x200m and the 4x400m relays both have potential to be on the podium at the state meet this season if all things come together for them, he said. Both relays are made up of the same team: sophomore Taylor Stolar, seniors Jessica Pietrasz and Shelbi Redway, and freshman phenom Regan Clay. Stolar is a burner, Pietrasz is the current school record holder in the 800m run and has been a previous state qualifier as an individual, Redway also excels at the 300m hurdles, and Clay, despite her youth, might be one of the most capable athletes Eckel has ever coached. Although Clay has enjoyed considerable success already this season, Coach Eckel said she is humble when it comes to embracing praise for her accomplishments. What she has achieved so far, however, might just be tip of the iceberg. At the recent Gibsonburg Invitational, she raced against the reigning Division III state champion, Colleen Reynolds from Gibsonburg, in both the 400m run and the 200m dash. Running in her first 400m of her career, Clay not only defeated Reynolds in both events but smashed the meet record of 59 seconds with a time of 57.14. Rossford’s school record in the 400m is 57.07 held by Clay’s sister Rachael. In addition to nearing the school mark in the 400m, Clay already has set school records in both the triple jump and the 100m dash. The latter was set at the Liberty Center Invitational where she ran to a time of 12.75 seconds, edging the previous record of 12.8 seconds set in 1992 by Crystal Durden. “For anyone who knows the sport, they should come out and watch her run,” Coach Eckel said. He added that the Bulldog team has a goal of placing two people in every event. “With the lack of depth for the girls and the youth of the boys, it might not happen, but we will try to peak at the right time,” he explained. For the Bulldogs, Coach Eckel hopes the peak will come at the league meet, where every athlete will perform at his or her best. At the very least, the future–both immediate and the next couple years–looks promising for track at RHS. Penta seniors recognized with academic achievement awards On April 24, Penta Career Center held its annual Academic Achievement Award Ceremony in the Susor Auditorium at the Penta campus. The award is presented to seniors who achieved excellence in their academic studies by maintaining a 3.25 grade point average for the first three quarters of the school year.
