We Honor WWW.ROSSFORD.COM Sheriff’s dept. acquires MRAP vehicle for special response team VOLUME 75, NUMBER 10 – MARCH 6, 2014 What does the Wood County Sheriff’s Department have that in Ohio only the Ohio State University campus police possess? The answer, an MRAP, may surprise residents who wonder how the department plans to use the mine-resistant, ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicle. Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn is quick to respond. The former U.S. Army vehicle will be used by the Special Response Team, which handles high-risk situations in Wood County as well as Lucas, Henry, Sandusky and Ottawa counties and at the Davis Besse plant, the sheriff explained. He credits Janet Fenn of Perrysburg, a volunteer assistant with his department and a retired Army major, for bringing the vehicle to the county. The unit is among 13,000 MRAPs that are no longer being utilized by the military. Off limits to businesses and citizens due to their features, a limited number of MRAPs were made available to law enforcement agencies at no cost. Ms. Fenn completed the necessary paperwork to acquire the unit. When asked if the acquisition process was tedious, Wood County Sergeant and SRT member Rod Smith replied, “If there was any red tape, Janet took care of it. She was fantastic about it.” He said the 16-member team is thrilled to acquire the 40,000-pound, tall MRAP, which replaces the department’s 1983 armored vehicle. “It’s one of the most secure, safe vehicles in the world,” he added. Sheriff Wasylyshyn, who took possession of the 2008 MRAP last September in Eden, Ohio, also is pleased with the acquisition. “I knew the other one was close to the end of its useful life, and I wanted the team to be as safe as they can be with a state-of-the-art vehicle.” Rossford Sergeant Mark Marek, also a member of the SRT, said the department received a bit of history on their MRAP. “It was deployed to Iraq one time and has 7,000 miles on it.” Offered through a special military program, the MRAP is on loan to the department. “When we’re done with it, we need to return it to the military,” the sergeant said, adding that because it is a loaner, the sheriff’s department is required to carry liability coverage. Once the vehicle was delivered, the department set about the task of retrofitting the unit for its specific use. A ©WELCH PUBLISHING CO. machine gun turret was removed from the roof and the vehicle was painted and striped in the sheriff department’s signature black and gold colors. LED emergency lights and radios also were installed. Sheriff Wasylyshyn purchased four wheels and new tires at a cost of $1,600, the normal price for just one of the 395 85R20 tires. Equipped with an International Harvester chassis, the vehicle can be serviced in Wood County and parts are available for it, said the sheriff. To learn trouble shooting, the SRT received training from mechanics at the 1483rd Transport Army National Guard unit of Walbridge. “They showed us preventative maintenance and operations,” said Sgt. Marek. Although no special license is needed to operate the large vehicle, team members have been learning to drive the $650,000 MRAP. “It’s very quiet and rides better than we thought,” said the sergeant. As equipped, the MRAP comfortably seats six in the back as well as a driver and front seat passenger. Team members said the rear seats could be switched for bench seats to accommodate addi- ROSSFORD, WOOD COUNTY, OHIO Please Recycle This Newspaper even spoken,” she said. “Since then we have made enormous strides especially in identifying behaviors and developing new treatments to beat it.” Ms. Guyton’s father died of colon cancer when she was 9 years old, and her sister passed in 2011 away from breast cancer. She noted that many people may “be tired of talking about cancer.” However, she believes that should encourage every one to fight harder against the disease–“to have a day when it’s not part of our lives.” “Because each one of us can make a difference,” she said. “It’s not a time to rest, but to take more action,” she said. “Let’s make this breast cancer’s last century.” The kick-off breakfast honored many local breast cancer survivors and their caregivers. Deb Buker, editor of the Perrysburg Messenger Journal, was the honorary survivor at the breakfast. A 14-year breast cancer survivor, she has volunteered with ACS for 13 years and most recently chaired the Bark for Life/ Relay for Life fund-raisers. Mrs. Buker thanked her family and friends “for your smiles, your laughter and most importantly your love.” At the time she was diagnosed, her 80-year-old father was discovered to have a brain tumor. Her mother, sister, mother-inlaw and sister-in-law also were diagnosed with breast cancer that same year. “It has been a family affair,” she said. Throughout surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, she endured the treatment with a determined sense of optimism. When her oncologist detected a four-centimeter tumor and that 7 of 15 lymph nodes tested positive for cancer, Mrs. Buker responded, “That’s less Displaying the recently completed paint job of the formerly tan vehicle are SRT members Officer Lonie Featherstun of the Perrysburg Police Division and Sergeant Mark Marek of Rossford Police. tional personnel. Overall the MRAP has proven “adaptable to law enforcement,” said Sgt. Marek, noting that it is even equipped with a filter system for chemical or radioactive materials. Sheriff Wasylyshyn said the MRAP will be used for high-risk situations including hostage rescue, high-risk search warrants, barricaded subjects, dignitary protection and active shooters. Because of its size, the unit can serve than half!” “Always think positive and be positive,” she insisted. Taking several cancer drugs for 12 years, she appreciates the pharmaceutical research that ACS has done. “I truly believe every dollar raised allows researchers to take another step,” she said. Mrs. Buker has committed much time and effort to ACS fund-raisers Relay for Life and Bark for Life. “I want to say we have found a cure and I helped,” she said. Ms. Guyton noted that even minimal fund-raising efforts by volunteers can make a difference for cancer patients. Sending 13 e-mail messages to friends asking for a $10 donation can raise enough to pay for a wig for a woman who has lost her hair. An office bake sale that raises $150 equals a one night stay at Hope Lodge UTMC surgeon explains new cancer treatments Making Strides Against Breast Cancer isn’t just a fund-raising event–but instead, part of every work day for Dr. Helen Mabry, a breast cancer surgeon at the University of Toledo Medical Center. The Toledo native and graduate of the Ohio State University College of Medicine has been in practice for 10 years. At the Strides kickoff breakfast, she gave an update on recent advances in treatment, diagnosis and prevention. Dr. Mabry described the mission of her work: “to make the treatment as bearable as possible and have the best possible outcomes.” One in eight women currently are being diagnosed with breast cancer, and the United States saw an increase in cases during the 1970s. The surgeon often is asked, is breast cancer increasing in younger women? For women younger than 50, she responded that the rate has been steady since 1975, but there is an increase in cases for women older than 50. However, Dr. Mabry further noted that deaths resulting from breast, prostrate, pancreatic and colon cancers together do not even equal the number of deaths each year caused by lung cancer alone. Other good news she pointed out is the survivor rate for women five years after diagnoses was 75 percent in 1975, but is now more than 90 percent. “This is a major advance in the last 35 years,” she added. Dr. Mabry acknowledged the controversy surrounding the usefulness of mammograms. “In the future, we hope to find something better, but for now this is what we have,” she said. She explained a new trial treatment procedure being used at UTMC, which employs a laser to destroy tumors. Energy from the laser destroys the cancer cells, and then a month later the tissue is removed and studied. The procedure is done under local anesthesia in a doctor’s office. She said the knowledge gained from the trial procedure is “for women of the future, made possible by women of the past.” Dr. Mabry also explained the continued improvements in reconstructive surgery for breast cancer patients, especially using abdominal fat that is sewn into the chest. Furthermore, the medical industry is concentrating on assisting the more than 3 million survivors of breast cancer dealing with many side effects such as numbness, pain, neuropathy and “chemo brain.” “We’re working on making life better for survivors–to help minimize the physical and emotional effects,” she added. Dr. Mabry said scientific research also has made advances in identifying risk factors for breast cancer. These include body fat, chemicals, reproductive choices, alcohol, tobacco, radiation and medical interventions. For instance, she cited a European 75¢ SINGLE COPY Interim principal named for Glenwood Elementary as a shield between an active shooter and team members or injured citizens, he added. The MRAP also can be deployed during natural disasters such as floods or tornados. “It can safely go through 36 inches of water,” said the sheriff who added that he would “be very comfortable being inside it if there was a tornado.” That feeling of safety is enhanced by the vehicle’s bullet resistant glass and metal shell, which is capable of taking a 50-caliber rifle or rocket grenade hit without penetrating the vehicle. Sheriff Wasylyshyn said the SRT, while pleased with the new vehicle, hopes to rarely, if ever, use the MRAP. “We get called about 18 times per year whenever front line officers feel backup is needed. History tells us that we will need to deploy, but we hope never to have to use it.” –Jane Maiolo Teams starting to form for ACS Strides walk in May By Beth Church A century ago, the word “cancer” wasn’t a common topic of discussion. In contrast, the American Cancer Society’s annual Strides walk and fund-raising is “about how we can all get loud and take action.” “Progress comes when we speak out, when we make noise,” said Lissa Guyton, of TV13 ABC and a member of the Wood County ACS board of directors. Ms. Guyton was the emcee for the February 22 kick-off breakfast of this year’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, hosted by the American Cancer Society. The walk will take place at 9:30 a.m., Saturday, May 10, at the Town Center at Levis Commons. Ms. Guyton noted that the American Cancer Society turned 100 years old on May 12, 2012. “One hundred years ago, the word ‘cancer’ was not Our Service People study that discovered a chemical in breast milk of women that was coming from flame retardants in fabric and polyurethane household products. She also cautioned against “xenoestrogens”–chemicals that have estrogen-like effects and alter the function of hormones–which are found in PCBs and BPA plastic products. “There’s no government oversight or regulation of these things in the U.S.,” she said. The surgeon also pointed out that the spike in breast cancer cases since the 1970s has been accompanied by an increase in obesity since 1975. “And diabetes increases the risk of breast cancer substantially,” she said. She warned of the phenomena that people gain weight if they have family and friends who are overweight. Dr. Mabry cited a study showing that rats would choose to eat sausage, cheesecake and chocolate over their normal rat chow–and continue to choose those tasty foods even when electrical shocks were administered to their feet. The lesson? “These things can be powerfully addictive,” she said. She also recommends exercise as a cancer prevention. “Very vigorous exercise can reduce the risk by 50 percent in postmenopausal women,” she said. Eating healthy and regularly exercising may seem to be too steep of goals to accomplish, but Dr. Mabry encouraged the women to be optimistic. “It’s not impossible just because it’s difficult,” she said. for a patient who needs to stay overnight for treatment in Cleveland or Cincinnati. Raising $2,000 can pay for the supplies, space and manpower necessary for one week of breast cancer research. Bob Thompson of the Thompson-WilliamsDonahue Group at Merrill Lynch sponsored the Strides breakfast for eight years, and said he is proud to have been involved in 11 years of fund-raising for ACS. Co-chairwomen of the Strides walk are Bridgette Root and Rachael ThayerLondon. Dan Galloway, manager of the Kroger store in Perrysburg, presented a $23,000 donation to ACS to kick off the fund-raising. Pink ribbons were sold at 23 area Kroger stores last fall, purchased by “generous customers and employees,” he said. Kroger officials, along with representatives from Welch Publishing, WalMart, Curves and the local Chevrolet dealerships attended the breakfast and are forming teams for the May Strides walk. Funds raised by the walk will go to provide a variety of ACS services to cancer patients in the areas of research, education, advocacy and patient services. Among those, ACS helps patients navigate through their treatment, find rides to treatment, provides free wigs to women who have suffered hair loss due to treatment, connect patients with survivors through the Reach to Recovery program, and help women with the appearance-related side effects of treatment through the Look Good Feel Better program. Area residents can sign up to participate or form a team for the May 10 Strides walk by visiting the Web site www.MakingStrides walk.org/nwohio or by calling the ACS office in Perrysburg at 1-800-2272345.

There also will be an opportunity to sign up at the Rossford Record Journal table at the Business Fair on Saturday, March 22. Robert Berkowitz, a former principal and teacher in Toledo and Sylvania, will serve as interim principal of Glenwood Elementary School this spring. At a February 24 meeting, the Rossford Board of Education approved his appointment for mid-March through early May, to be compensated at $340 per day. He will replace principal Megan Spangler while she is on maternity leave. Mr. Berkowitz is a 44year veteran in public education. “I spent 18 years teaching elementary school–three of which were in Toledo and 15 of which were in Sylvania,” he explained. He served as principal at McCord Junior High School for two years and principal of Maplewood Elementary School for 18 years in Sylvania. Since retiring in 2008, he has substituted as an elementary school principal for Sylvania Schools, taught classes at Lourdes University and worked with the student teaching program. In 2003, he was selected as the “Administrative Educator of the Year” for Sylvania Schools. Married with two daughters and two granddaughters, he said, “My life continues to be fulfilled with the opportunity to continue in the field of education. “It is such a pleasure for me to be able to work with college students, teachers and the children. I am a very lucky person.” Other Business In other business, the board: •Accepted the resignation of Angela Maxwell, second grade teacher at Eagle Point Elementary, effective at the end of 2013-14 school year. Bob Berkowitz •Approved the employment of classified personnel –Bill Zeller, bus driver, $19.98 per hour, 2.5 hours per day, effective March 1; and Tammy Myers, cafeteria/playground aide at Glenwood Elementary, $13.90 per hour, two hours per day, effective February 25. •Issued a supplemental contract for 2013-14 to Stacy Jurich, boys varsity tennis, $5,001. •Discussed the tools being used for evaluation of the superintendent and treasurer.

For the treasurer, the categories of evaluation discussed were financial management, professional relationships, professional growth, relationship with board and community/ human relationships. The school board’s next regular meeting will be at 6 p.m., Monday, March 17, at the Bulldog Center board room. The meeting is open to the public. –Beth Church Several twp. polling locations noncompliant By Jane Maiolo Perrysburg Township voters casting their ballots at Station No. 2 on Fort Meigs Road or the township meeting hall/old rental hall on Lime City Road may notice a few changes at the May primary. At the February 19 meeting, the trustees said they received a letter from the Wood County Board of Elections notifying them that the two facilities fail to comply with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), HAVA (Help America Vote Act) and the Ohio Revised Code. Debbie Hazard, BOE deputy director, said the following issues were discovered: •Trustees meeting hall–no vertical signage reading “van accessible,” no “minimum fine $250” vertical sign posted at accessible parking spaces, and the threshold height is above one-half inch beveled, 2.5 to 3 inch step at the door; •Rental Hall–no designated access aisles at designated accessible parking spaces, no “van accessible” parking space provided with an eight foot access aisle designated, no “minimum fine $250” vertical sign posted at accessible parking spaces and the entrance door handle is not “operable with a closed fist” (thumb latch); •Fire Station No. 2–there are no accessible parking spaces designated at the polling location, there is no vertical accessible parking signage. In a February 25 e-mail Ms. Hazard, “We are in the process of purchasing signage and other equipment that can be deployed to our polling locations that choose not to or cannot afford to make the necessary changes to bring the buildings into compliance for voting purposes. “In the case of the Perrysburg Township locations Please turn to page 2➧ Seventy businesses to be on display at RBA Fair With an emphasis on supporting and promoting local businesses, the Rossford Business Association’s ninth annual Business Fair will highlight 70 local businesses.

Page 2 — March 6, 2014 — ROSSFORD RECORD JOURNAL Alicia’s Voice reorganizes and relocates in Wood County Rossford Record Citizens Against Domestic Violence Alicia’s Voice was founded by Tom and Kathy Newlove on April 8, 2007–nine days after their daughter, Alicia, was murdered by the father of two of her children. Her boyfriend also was shot and killed. Mrs. Newlove vowed that she would work to change the lives of other women in situations like her daughter–no one should go through what Alicia and her family went through. The mission of Alicia’s Voice is “to increase awareness and prevent domestic violence in the local community through the development of educational programs for elementary, middle school, high school and higher education level students; additionally, education for law enforcement officers; to empower victims in the community to use their voices; to provide victims who are leaving their abusers with resources necessary to become independent.” Over the past six years, the organization has assisted approximately 700 women. According to a report by the Wood County Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team, between June 1991 and June 2011 there were 31 homicides !" Alicia’s Voice–Citizens Against Domestic Violence–has reorganized and relocated to Perrysburg.

Because I am the victims’ advocate and the municipal court handles all the misdemeanor cases in northern Wood County, it was a good fit for me.” Over the past four years, the board struggled with fund-raising, said Mrs. Schwartz, adding the Newloves needed help to reorganize. In the fall, Mrs. Schwartz accepted the position of Alicia’s Voice co-chairperson along with Mrs. Wasylyshyn. “We relocated our board meetings to Perrysburg, and with the help of several new board members who live and work in the Perrysburg area, we are continuing our mission,” said the new cochair. “We all believed Alicia’s Voice needed a boost with a number of new board members and relocation.

It is not just the tragedy of losing Alicia, it is a problem that will eat away at families in our community if we don’t continue to educate and help serve the victims and survivors of domestic violence.” The victims’ advocate said the Perrysburg prosecutor’s office handles anywhere between two and six new domestic violence cases each week. This is in addition to the cases also handled in Bowling Green Municipal Court. “These cases could be a potential ‘Alicia’ who we want to help before it turns this devastating,” she said. “This can be changed, but it takes a community to change any acceptance of bad behavior and lack of respect for your partner. This not only affects the adults in the relationship, it affects the children. We need to invest in the future– the children.” Alicia’s Voice board of directors also includes Ellen Wilensky, treasurer; Amanda Suckle, secretary; % !

On election day we will deploy temporary ADA signs and cones that will correct the parking lot deficiencies. We will also deploy a temporary threshold cover and temporary door handle to be used on election day.” The deputy director said she appreciates the township’s “cooperation and commitment to the election process by allowing us to use township buildings as polling locations.” Route 199/Eckel Junction Trustee Gary Britten provided the trustees with an update on the State Route 199, Eckel Junction and Scheider roads discussion. “There have been some very good discussions,” he said, adding that the township and officials from the Perrysburg, ODOT and Perrysburg Schools are exploring different options for the 10 SWING INTO SPRING & SAVE NOW! % intersection. “There is some resistance to closing Scheider Road,” he said. He noted that officials are seeking a timetable for completion of the Carronade Road extension to Route 199. Officials have been looking at closing Scheider Road, pointing out that the intersection has been the scene of numerous accidents over the years. “At this point, I’m still in favor of closing Scheider,” said Trustee Craig LaHote. Mr. Britten said a fourway stop sign was discussed, but he believes it would cause “more problems.” Noting that southbound Route 199 traffic will backup at the overpass,” he added, “To me that’s not an option.” The trustee said he concurs with ODOT officials who believe the best case scenario is to close Scheider. “If we close Scheider, that alleviates 90 percent of the problem.” Other Business In other business, the trustees: •Heard from Kraig Gottfried, maintenance supervisor, that the township has received several bills from the Wood County landfill for debris the township dropped off there following the November EF2 tornado. “Don’t pay that. It’s not to be paid,” said Mr. Britten, adding that he would speak with the county about it. In a related matter, the trustees paid $400 to Maintenance and $17,661 to Nordmann Roofing for repairs to facilities following the tornado. Fiscal Officer Shirley Haar said the township has received insurance to cover the damages. •Learned from Mr Gottfried that the township acquired another 100 tons of rock salt. The maintenance supervisor said the township had 350 tons in storage prior to this order and will be unable to obtain any more rock salt this season.

Later in the quarter, it was Mack again, this time connecting on a three to pull the Bulldogs to within two points, trailing 11-9. On the next trip up the floor, Mack tied the game, and Linthicum gave RHS their first lead at 2:39 in the quarter on a short jumper in the key. Rogers regained the lead and followed with a steal for another basket. With less than 30 seconds remaining, Rogers led by seven, but Childress hit a shot at the buzzer, and the Bulldogs found themselves down 2015 at the end of the period. Back-to-back treys to open the second quarter by Mack Miller and Ryan Niese put the Bulldogs back in front by one. Minutes later, after a flurry of threes by Miller and one by Mack, Niese found Mack on a backdoor play for an easy bucket and a sixpoint Rossford advantage.

After two made free throws by Mack, RHS clung to a 36-34 lead ending the second. The Bulldogs came out fast in the third quarter and got some significant scoring from their bench, including five quick points from Eric Davis that ignited the team’s momentum. Mack hit a three and the Bulldogs were up nine. After another Linthicum putback that also drew a foul, Rossford jumped out to a 12-point lead. Rogers connected on a three before the quarter’s conclusion, but Rossford led 54-47 and seemed in control. A Rogers rally early in the fourth cut the Bulldogs’ lead to three points. With 5:10 remaining, the Rams had scrapped back to tie the contest, but the Bulldogs fought back with a basket from senior postman Brian Burks. From there, the two teams traded the lead and the momentum. With 34 seconds remaining in regulation, Rogers had the ball and the chance to win the game; but the Bulldogs buckled down on defense and denied the Rams a shot attempt, driving the game into overtime. In the extra period, the Bulldogs struck first with a reverse layup by Miller. The two teams traded missed shots until Rogers tied it and drew the foul. Sinking the free throw, the Rams led by one with less than a minute to play. With 44 seconds remaining, the Bulldogs turned to Mack, who hit on a jumper and put Rossford up by one, 67-66. The clock wound down and Rogers had possession with 30 seconds to go. After a missed shot that deflected off Rossford, Rogers passed the ball in under the basket. The Rams got off a shot and were fouled. They knocked down both foul shots and regained the lead, 68-67. This gave Rossford the possession with 8.8 seconds left.

FuneralHome Providing affordable service Join us for unparalleled, our FREE lunch & Learn RHS basketball falls in tournament upset bid By Michael Krieger In the end, Rossford’s perimeter shooting fell short against the Rogers Rams’ full court pressure as the Bulldogs lost in the first round of sectional tournament action, 69-67 in overtime. Despite the disheartening loss February 25, Rossford easily gave the Rams one of their toughest contests of the year. Highlighted by up-tempo action and marred by several controversial calls, the game was an indication that the future of Rossford basketball looks bright. The team showed tremendous character and did not back down from the challenge of playing against last year’s Division II state runner-up. Early on, however, it appeared that Rogers might cruise to an easy victory. In the opening quarter, Rossford struggled against the Rams’ pressure and committed turnovers that resulted in quick baskets. But after falling behind 60, RHS settled down and and “Xanadu.” Thursday through Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m., with a 2 p.m. Sunday matinee. •April 12–RHS Drama Alumni reunion after the 7:30 p.m. performance of “Xanadu.” Join alumni for an and Gene Kelly will be performed.

Featuring popular roller disco songs from the 1980s like “Magic,” “All Over the World,” “Suddenly,” “I’m Alive,” “Evil Woman,” “Have You Never Been Mellow?” The Rossford High School Drama Club has a busy few months ahead. Below is a schedule of upcoming drama events. •March 14–“The R FactorRound Two.” The annual talent show highlights the talents of RHS students.

To avoid the pressure, Burks tried to pass the ball back to Niese. The ball appeared to be tipped by a Rogers player, but none of the referees made the call and instead awarded possession to the Rams under their own basket. After passing the ball in, Rogers evaded Rossford’s attempts to foul until the clock wound down under two seconds. The Rams sank one of the shots but not the second. Rossford rebounded but was unable to get off a final shot before the horn sounded. Rossford committed 23 to10 by turnovers compared held Rogers.
