PERRYSBURG YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER 1853 1935 VOLUME 162, NUMBER 42 – OCTOBER 15, 2014 PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER ©WELCH PUBLISHING COMPANY, PERRYSBURG, OHIO, (419) 874-4491 75¢ SINGLE COPY Mayor withdraws proposed downtown enhancements; asks recreation ‘Stay alert, be informed, be active, speak out’ Dr. Earl Campbell discusses ‘Lake Erie Blue Scum, committee to define the scope of a downtown riverfront project By Deb Buker The proposed downtown enhancements were “not to take away any historic significance or harm the great charm of our downtown in any way,” said Mayor Mike Olmstead at the October 8 meeting of Perrysburg City Council. “It is about continuing to make the city of Perrysburg’s downtown a destination place. We want to continue to show our commitment and support of a historic downtown.” Addressing council members and more than 50 community members attending the meeting, the mayor explained the enhancement project was not developed in a vacuum and many people were involved in the project prior to going public with the proposal. “In fact, since 1977 there have been approximately seven different studies of the downtown riverfront which cost about a half million dollars in taxpayer dollars,” said Mayor Olmstead. “I had discussions with groups, individuals and met individually with each member of council. And in general, not everyone, but in general there was an interest to look at it. “However, after this was released for public comment and after a lot of hours of discussion, it would appear that a majority of council who may have originally supported the enhancements, at least aspects of it, had second thoughts. And that is perfectly okay. As a councilman for two terms, at many times when something was initially proposed, you liked it, but the more you thought about it, for whatever reason or reasons, you change your mind. I have no issue with that at all. That is what happens, and that is how it is supposed to work. “And it is because of what I am seeing and talking with the councilmen and other people, I am going to withdraw Resolution 92014.” The mayor thanked Mayor Olmstead and city administrators are asking city council for future action on the following: 1. Acknowledgement that the items, as listed, are in the P3 Plan and that council and administration have been tasked with implementing. 2. Administration has extracted goals from the P3 plan that pertain to the riverfront/downtown area in anticipation of working with council members, through the recreation committee, to review and add to this list of goals for the riverfront/downtown area. 3. Ask that the recreation committee work with the administration to bring back to council a set of final parameters that would define the scope of a downtown riverfront project. 4. Administration then would ask that the recreation committee recommend approval of the administration’s proposed legislation for the engagement of an architect/engineering firm to take the final parameters and provide a design that encompasses them. 5. Council passes an ordinance to engage architect/engineering services. everyone who participated in the process–for and against the proposal. “This is what the process of public policy is about,” he added. “It is simply taking an idea and throwing it out into the arena of ideas and coming up with a solution. Because whether you lived here 70 years, seven years or one year, your opinion matters. No one’s opinion is more important simply because they have been here longer or less important because they haven’t been here that long. It all matters.” Mayor Olmstead said because of this process two concerns of downtown business owners and residents have been addressed–more parking and public restrooms. The 2015 city budget includes an additional 25 parking spaces on Second Street by changing the parking from parallel to angle parking. Also, council heard a second reading on a lease for public restrooms. “I have been listening,” said the mayor. “Whether you have been adamantly opposed to anything, some of it, all of it, there is a com- mon thread between that group and the group supporting all of the enhancements or some of the enhancements, who also have talked to me extensively. The common thread is twofold–access to the river and P3 [People Planning Perrysburg]. The downtown was not as directly related to P3, but the riverfront was.” The mayor read the following from the P3 comprehensive plan, which relates directly to the downtown riverfront: •“Perrysburg benefits from being located along the Maumee River. Currently there is access to the river; however, residents and businesses voiced strong interest in improving river access and developing additional amenities and events along the river.” •“The Maumee River is recognized as a significant asset with the potential for improved public access.” •“Opportunities will be developed to connect people to the Maumee River through the public park and scenic open space system.” •“Redevelop and enhance the area near the Perrysburg Boat Club and Water Street. This area is currently underutilized and disconnected from the downtown.” •“Residents indicated a desire to improve access and recreational/leisure opportunities on and around the Maumee River and the need to market these areas as a community asset. This includes developing new recreational opportunities on/near the waterway, as well as new developments adjacent to the river and downtown that includes a strong entertainment component.” •“Preserve and strategically develop waterfront areas.” •“Support public, recreational and appropriate development and redevelopment, especially adjacent to the Maumee River in and around the downtown.” •“One of the most significant comments made by members of the public who participated in the planning process was the issue of better utilizing the waterfront along the Maumee River, specifically in the downtown.” •“The riverfront should be enhanced to provide better integration with the downtown and increased recreational opportunities.” •“The public strongly voiced an interest in creating better access to the Maumee River. One of the primary ideas contributed by the public and the steering committee is for a multi-use path that would provide residents with recreational and leisure opportunities along the river.” •“The Maumee River is accessible to residents in a limited number of locations throughout the community. The city should work to increase access to the riverfront and provide more recreational opportunities along the river. The possibility of entertainment venues along the river should also be considered.” •“Create a unique physical environment which preserves the historic character and small town feel; supported by a mix of uses that encompasses a variety of design styles, well detailed streetscape and inviting public gathering areas.” •“Hood Park, the Perrysburg Boat Club and Water Street are currently serving as locations that connect residents to the river. These locations, and others, should be enhanced to better connect residents to the river. The city should consider additional public gathering space at Hood Park, creating a seamless transition from the downtown to the waterfront.” •“Preserve and strategically develop waterfront areas.” Mayor Olmstead and city administrators asked council for future action on the following: 1. Acknowledgement that the items, as listed, are in the P3 plan and that council and administration have been tasked with implementing. 2.

Toxic Microcystin and Your Health’ By Deb Buker More than 11 million people derive their drinking water from Lake Erie, said Dr. Earl Campbell, emeritus professor of medicine, MCO-UT. “And microcystins are in our drinking water,” he told the more than 75 people who attended his presentation last week on “Lake Erie Blue Scum, Toxic Microcystin and Your Health” at W.W. Knight Nature Preserve. The presentation was sponsored by the Wood County Park District, Lake Erie Waterkeeper Alliance, Perrysburg League of Women Voters and Perrysburg Boat Club. Microcystins are toxins produced by cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae or as Dr. Campbell describes it–blue-green scum. “It is not algae, it is bluegreen scum,” he told the group as he showed a sampling of the colored algae. Dr. Campbell, a member of the Lake Erie Waterkeeper Alliance, stated the following Lake Erie facts–Did you know, he asked the group? •The Great Lakes contain one fifth of the world’s fresh water. •Lake Erie is the eighth largest body of fresh water in the world. The Wood County Park District, Lake Erie Waterkeeper Alliance, Perrysburg League of Women Voters and Perrysburg Boat Club sponsored a presentation by Dr. Earl Campbell on “Lake Erie Blue Scum, Toxic Microcystin and Your Health.” From left, Neil Munger, Wood County Parks director; Dr. Earl Campbell, and Jim Witter, Wood County Parks program coordinator. •Lake Erie produces more fish than all of the other Great Lakes together. •Lake Erie is the shallowest and warmest of the Great Lakes. •Eighty percent of Lake Erie water comes from the upper Great Lakes via the Detroit River. •The Maumee River is the largest river flowing into the Great Lakes–and a major phosphorus source. •$1.4 billion is generated by lake fishing and recreation. •The Maumee watershed is 4.3 million acres. Dr. Campbell noted that phosphorus from agricultural runoff feeds the growth of blue-green algae blooms and stated the following: •Ohio lakes St. Mary’s and Buckeye are dead– killed by phosphorus from fertilizers and feces. •Lake Erie is dying from excess phosphorus. In 2011, the blue-green scum covered 1,900 square miles. The Please turn to page 3➧ Ohio Local History Alliance Award presented to Historic Perrysburg Historic Perrysburg, Inc., was recently presented with the Ohio Local History Alliance Award for 2014. The president of Historic Perrysburg, Larry Karnes, nominated the research project, Streetscape, for this award. It produced eight large plaques that told with old pictures and scripts the history of the buildings and early owners in downtown Perrysburg. They are titled “The Way We Were” and “History Happens Here.” It was the brainchild of David Hoffmann, a native of the town, who wanted to preserve its history in a viable, visible and approachable way. He enlisted various experts in their fields: Mike Barthold, architect; Richard Baronowski, Way Library historian; Judith Justus and C. Robert Boyd, local historians; Lloyd Swanson, Way Library History Room volunteer; and Frank Kuron and Rex Russell, graphic designers. After more than a year and a half of diligent work and meetings, the final designs were transferred electronically to Harmon Sign Company in Toledo, Please turn to page 3➧ Sharon Hoffmann, left, and Judith P.

Mayor withdraws proposed downtown enhancements ➧Continued from page 1 goals for the riverfront/ downtown area. 3. Ask that the recreation committee work with the administration to bring back to council a set of final parameters that would define the scope of a downtown riverfront project. 4. Administration then would ask that the recreation committee recommend approval of administration’s proposed legislation for the engagement of an architect/engineering firm to take the final parameters and provide a design that encompasses them. 5. Council passes an ordinance to engage architect/engineering services. “This is our specific ask and I look forward to working with council and the committee and members of the public to take a look at these P3 objectives,” said the mayor. “And take a look at additional ideas that the community may have and to move this all forward.” Councilman Tim McCarthy commends the mayor for putting an idea for the downtown out to the public. The councilman added that he was not in favor of the roundabout but believes the downtown does need updating–it has been a long time, he said. “I support what you said, that we need to continue to look at the riverfront and downtown,” the councilor said to the mayor. “I know this idea didn’t work, but I hope that you will continue to put forth the ideas that you think are best for the city.” P3 People. Planning. Perrysburg The P3 Comprehensive Plan update was completed in 2007. The executive summary overview from April 12, 2007, explains the process of the comprehensive plan update: “People Planning Perrysburg is a process to create a comprehensive plan update–one that is designed by the citizens of the city. It is a process to develop a plan for Perrysburg’s future by involving as many residents, businesses, property owners or others from the community. All ideas shared by community members will be recorded and used to shape the resulting comprehensive plan update. The comprehensive plan update will be the community’s ‘blueprint’ for the future. It will guide decision-making on how and where Perrysburg will grow. This includes parks, schools, roads, buildings, stores, churches and new uses not seen in the community before. Using words, maps and illustrations, the comprehensive plan will describe common expectations for the types, location, intensity and timetable of development for the key elements found in the P3 report.” The P3 steering committee consisted of the following committee members: Kate MacPherson and Mike Liebenthal, co-chairs; Robin Balmer, David Bates, Lois Bigelow, Rob Black, Frank Butler, Larry Dillin, Mayor Nelson Evans, Maureen Fagens, Yvonne Fey, Penelope Getz, Tim Gruber, Janel Haas, Kim Henderson Jim Hodulik, Tom Hosler, Kathleen Jones, David Kienzle, Walter Krueger, Councilmen Joe Lawless, Tom Mackin, Tim McCarthy and Joe Rutherford, Kurt Miller, Jonathan Orser, Jim Pollock Pastor Terry Powell, Chuck Schmalzried, Jill Perry Smith, Charlie Soto, John Wanick, Andre Washington and Mary Ann Woolly. Publicity/outreach committee members included Deborah Born, Deb Buker, Rod Frysinger, Carol Gee, Cheryl Hardy, Sandy Latchem, Jeff Smith and Bob Venzel. Other Business In other business, council: •Heard a second reading authorizing a lease with Clark Addison LLC for public restroom space in the downtown at a cost of $700 per month. •Approved a $1.4 million contract with Wood County and Crestline Paving for improvements on Jefferson Street between Waters Edge Drive and State Route 25. •Scheduled the following meetings: service-safety, Monday, October 27, 5 p.m.; personnel, Tuesday, October 28, 5 p.m., and Health, Sanitation and Public Utilities, Tuesday, October 28, 6 p.m. The next meeting of city council is Tuesday, October 21, 6:30 p.m. All meetings are held in the municipal building and are open to the public. Dr. Earl Campbell discusses ‘Lake Erie Blue Scum’ ➧Continued from page 1 dead zone in the middle basin of Lake Erie increased to 1,544 square miles. •9,576,624 animals in Maumee watershed produce 12,215,586,646 pounds of feces per annum. No sewage disposal plant is required. •422 million pounds of fertilizer is used in Maumee watershed per annum. “This is a problem by people who did not want to think ahead,” said the speaker. Dr. Campbell told the group that algae is a plant, whereas microcystis is a family of bacteria from the animal kingdom. Microcystin is a protein and comprised of seven amino acids, and when released from algae blooms can cause liver damage, cancer, ALS and even death. “Microcystins just grow and grow and grow,” he added. Cyanobacteria–blue bacteria which produces oxygen and generates energy–includes microcysts, aeruginosa and wollei. Toxins are compounds that have amino acids–microcystin, saxitoxin, anatoxin and cylindrosper. “This is not something to play with,” said Dr. Campbell, as he reviewed studies from Northern Europe, East Asia and China where longterm [five years or more] microcystin exposure led to disease. “One microgram is a big deal.” In Haimen, China, the water registered the highest amount of microsystins–4.3 grams per liter. One hundred out of every 100,000 people were affected by microsystins, he said. The doctor recognized the Bowling Green water treatment plant–the best in the state, he noted. “They process three million gallons of water a day drawing from the Maumee River,” said Dr. Campbell. “They have a reverse-osmosis system which forces water through membranes that do not allow other molecules to pass through. Toledo does not have this system.” He urged everyone to stay alert on the situation, be informed, be active and to speak out. “Also insist elected officials to declare Lake Erie an impaired waterway,” said Dr. Campbell. “Until dollars are affected or somebody dies, we probably won’t have any attention for this. It is an international, multi-state crisis.” For additional information on Lake Erie, visit the website www.ijc.org. The International Joint Commission released a report this year on the Lake Erie Ecosystem Priority–A Balanced Diet for Lake Erie: Reducing Phosphorus Loadings and Harmful Algal Blooms. *Glossary of Terms •Algae–aquatic organisms that survive through photosynthesis; they can range in size from microscopic organisms to large seaweed and giant kelp. •Algal bloom–an excessive and relatively rapid growth of algae on or near the surface of the water. It can occur naturally as the result of a change in water temperature and current or as a result of an excess of nutrients in the water. •Cyanobacteria–a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis. The name cyanobacteria comes from the color of the bacteria. •Microcystis–a microcrystal producing genus of freshwater cyanobacteria which includes the harmful algal bloom microcystis aeruginosa. •Microcystin–a class of toxins produced by certain freshwater cyanobacteria– primarily Microcystis aeruginosa. •Microcystis aeruginosa–a green bacterium that can grow rapidly over pond surfaces causing blooms that are harmful to humans and animals. •Phosphorus–an element used in a wide range of agricultural, industrial and domestic products. •Cyanotoxins–toxins produced by bacteria called cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). •Saxitoxins–best known paralytic shellfish toxin. •Anatoxin-a–is a neurotoxic cyanobacteria toxin; also known as a very fast death factor. •Cylindrospermopsin–a cyanotoxin produced by a variety of freshwater cyanobacteria. •Lungbya wollei–cyanobacteria– a tough, new invasive algae in Lake Erie. •Chloroplast–in plant and algal cells.

According to the LWV of Ohio, “due to some apparent genuine confusion with guides being prepared by others, some statewide candidates returned their completed questionnaires late. This one time only, LWVOEF is permitting late responses for such candidates that will be posted to the electronic statewide candidates Voters’ Guide available at www.lwvohio.org. We recognize that some late additions may be posted after local printed guides have gone to press, and we regret any inconvenience or confusion.” The LWV of Ohio went on to note that two, third-party candidates are involved in litigation to attempt to be added back on the November ballot. According to the LWV of Ohio, “If the appeals court rules in their favor between now and Election Day, we will endeavor to provide their information as promptly as possible.” The LWV is a nonpartisan political organization encouraging the informed and active participation in government. It influences public policy through education and advocacy. To that end, the LWVPA wants the citizens of Perrysburg and Wood County to be aware of this additional information now available for voters.

The presentation is free and open to the public. Doors open at 7 p.m. Pickawillany, located on the Great Miami River north of Piqua, was a large 18th Century Miami Indian town. In 1748, the Miami allowed the English to establish a trading enterprise in defiance of the French who claimed all of the Ohio country. In June 1752, the French attacked and destroyed Pickawillany, they killed or captured most of the English traders on site and killed the Miami chief Memeskia. From then on, Pickawillany ceased to exist and settled the question of the Miami’s loyalty. For the past 10 years, Ohio History connection has been conducting a comprehensive research program to rediscover the site. Mr. Pickard is a 1995 graduate of the Ohio State University with degrees in anthropology and art history and has worked in the Collections/Curatorial Division of the Ohio History Connections since 1999. He has been involved in archeology for nearly 30 years and has done extensive fieldwork on a variety of prehistoric and historic archeological sites throughout Ohio as well as five other states. Mr. Pickard was involved with the stockade reconstruction at Fort Meigs, as well as projects at Flint Ridge State Memorial, U.S. Grant Boyhood Home, Fort Laurens and Pickawillany. The program is sponsored by the Anderton Bentley Fund in memory of Christopher Perky, who served at Fort Meigs during the War of 1812.

NOTICE Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: The proposed $38 million school project means a loan on your home for 28 years being totally the “Wrong Time and the Wrong Plan.” Would you buy a home from some slippery real estate person who won’t tell you where the home will be, who are your neighbors, and what effect on traffic patterns and infrastructure? The school board and their administration will not consider current junior high property available and won’t sell under-utilized assets like their 199 property or the Commodore to reduce the cost to taxpayers. They chose to ignore the huge year after year Toledo controlled water rate increases and their incremental “ever” increasing operating levy. Surrounding school districts Rossford, Bowling Green, and Toledo have invested in State Performance Audit providing a report card for the school board and administration. High above any scrutiny from their plush sky box offices, Perrysburg administration rejected opening their books–Hmmm. Since their 2008 operating budget of $39 million, they are now over $45 million or $9,000 per student. Have your wages followed this rocketing upward trend of spending by the school board as they keep adding nonvalue added staff having little impact on day to day teaching? Back when they made three attempts to build the new high school, there were projections of inflated growth through 2009 of 6,113 students (done by Dejong & Assoc.) and this year’s enrollment is now 4,947 (13 more than last year). The school board could care less about the cost and problems they will cause the city, state and taxpayers due to not coordinating their school location. Building on existing property, additions, and selling property and assets is called being accountable to the owners of the schools. Make sure you make the effort to vote often and send a message to the school board. Keep in mind a sign in someone’s yard is not a vote in the booth (except my yard). Phil Caron Card Catalog Halloween event is Oct. 18 Way Library announces the launch of a new series aimed at 20 to 40-somethings, the Card Catalog.

Dear Editor: Resident Jamie Weidner made some great points in a letter to the editor on October 8, 2014. The general premise, as I read it, was that the city government has too much money and the residents deserve a tax cut. I couldnt agree more. The problem is that I’m alone on council in this opinion. For example, even though the city is currently heading toward its third straight year of a near $1M budget surplus, when I tried to eliminate a $100,000 street tree assessment, I was the lone vote in favor. There you had five councilmen reluctantly supportive of reducing the regressive tax by half to $50,000 but were not willing to completely eliminate it. This is as clear-cut and painless of a tax cut as any legislative body can be faced with, and we failed to fully act on it. If you can’t cut $100,000 when you’re up $1,000,000, when can you cut anything? So why do I support spending some of our “excess” revenues on downtown improvements of some sort and/or on riverfront upgrades? Simply stated, because I can’t get a tax cut approved given the current layout on council. Spending to improve our business districts and/or parks, within reason, is the next best thing as long as the rest of the necessary infrastructure is accounted for, which it currently is. Finally, while saving money into a rainy day fund is critical to our longterm success, it can make us look like fat cats to the state labor board during contract talks. That makes saving funds a little less attractive an idea as it may sound at first. I don’t want the city to collect one dime more than it needs. The city has been generally good with taxpayer funds over time and runs a tight ship, but there’s nothing like a shorter financial leash to keep government honest. Call your councilmen and tell them to give you your money back, and I’ll lead the charge to get it done. Until then, understand why I might try and spend it on one-time projects that can improve our community. I just don’t have another choice. J. Todd Grayson Perrysburg City Council Homebrew Day set for Nov. 1 The Glass City Mashers, a Toledo-based homebrewing club established in 2011, is hosting its annual Learn to Homebrew Day event from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, November 1, at Titgemeiers Feed and Garden store on 701 Western Avenue in Toledo.

I do so for these reasons: 1. Perrysburg Schools use their money wisely. The $8,991 per pupil expenditure is one of the lowest in the area. Out of 17 districts, Perrysburg is fourth lowest. This proves that Perrysburg Schools provide an exceptional education for a relatively low cost. 2. The Perrysburg School District comes to the voters only in times of need. Superintendent Hosler and the board have seriously considered the pros and cons of placing issues on the ballot. They understand that incomes change and finding extra money is not always easy, but investing in our children’s education means that our children will succeed in these changing times. 3. Balanced class sizes, updates to technology and safety, an auxiliary gym and the new fifth/sixth grade building are not perks but necessary to maintain our strong school system. Please contact the schools, ask questions, read brochures, and remember that we are doing this for our children the way our parents did for us. We should not let our children down. Our children are the future; education is the way to their success. Suzanne Hoffman Dear Editor: But wait, there is more: Did Perrysburg get a twofor-one deal on roundabouts? We do not need any roundabouts. Extend Carronade to 199 as was planned, and close Eckel Junction West at 199. Problem solved.

Lutheran Church of the Master to show ‘God’s Not Dead’ Oct. 18 Lutheran Church of the Master invites the public to view the powerful Christian movie “God’s Not Dead” this Saturday, October 18. at 6 p.m., in the church’s Family Life Center. The movie centers around a present-day devout Christian college freshman who finds his faith challenged on his first day of philosophy class by the dogmatic and argumentative professor who begins class by informing students that they will need to disavow, in writing, the existence of God on that first day, or face a failing grade. As other students in the class begin scribbling the words “God is dead” on pieces of paper as instructed, Josh finds himself at a crossroads, forced to choose between his faith and his future. “God’s Not Dead” weaves together multiple stories of faith, doubt and disbelief culminating in a dramatic call to action. A free-will offering will be taken defray costs. For more information, call the church office at 419-874-7986.

Infant and neonatal deaths are far more common than many realize. Especially in Ohio where the infant mortality rate is 46th in the nation. Sara Hegarty, mother and local radio personality, knows all too well how common these losses are and the heartbreak associated with them. At 20 weeks gestation, her son Gabriel was delivered sleeping; he passed in utero due to an umbilical cord accident. Leaving the making burial arrangements for her son were two of the hardest things Sara and her husband ever had to do. When Sara read about a group in Texas that was creating memorial gowns for infants like Gabriel, she immediately wanted to start a similar program locally in honor of Gabriel, at the same time trying to provide comfort to other families facing similar situations. As a board member and long-time supporter of March of Dimes, she knew the foundation was the perfect partner for Gabriel’s Gowns. March of Dimes is the leading non-profit organ- baby health committing millions of dollars each year to researching the causes and solutions for premature births, birth defects and infant mortality. Professionally cleaned wedding gowns can be dropped off at the March of Dimes office on Tuesdays, from 1 to 6 p.m., and Thursdays, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., through March 30. Volunteer seamstresses will use the gowns to create memorial gowns for infants. The gowns will be distributed throughout the local ProMedica and Mercy hospital systems for families whose babies don’t make it. Have you ever asked yourself these quesons? 10-11 O J 59 OZ.

The Jacket offense, used to scoring fast and often, was unusually distracted to open the game. Perrysburg was forced to punt on their opening three drives that saw the Jackets plagued by six dropped passes. But two Jacket interceptions by cornerbacks Quinn Thomas and Seth Durham, kept the General offense from capitalizing on the slow Jacket start. Coming off of Durham’s interception, the Jackets rebounded offensively and got back on track. Quarterback Gus Dimmerling led a seven play, 45-yard drive that ended with Dimmerling calling his own number, scoring from 11-yards out with 23 seconds to play in the first quarter. The Jackets stretched their lead to 14 points when sophomore running back Tim Selhorst scored from 13 yards out with 5:13 to play in the half.

The Jacket score pushed their lead to 21-0 heading into halftime. On the Generals’ first possession of the second half, Durham notched his second interception of the game. Durham picked the pass deep in the Jackets own end zone, preserving the shut out. The Jackets used the momentum shifting defensive play to translate more points. Perrysburg went 88 yards in eight plays to score their fourth touchdown, this one once again coming from Dimmerling on a 22yard run.

One of the deepest Northern Lakes League cross country championships in recent history was written into the books over the weekend. The Perrysburg boys saw a season best from every single varsity runner, with an average improvement of more than 30 seconds, and yet still wound up sixth out of eight teams. Nonetheless, the team has everything to be proud of on a day that saw fast times across the board but nothing short of exceptional improvement from the Yellow Jackets. As throughout most of the season, the team was led by senior captain Clayton Shook, who ran the race of a lifetime to place third overall in 16:31. His savvy racing moved him up through the field and even put him in contention for the individual title late in the race. The time was a 47-second personal best and now ranks him fourth on the all time Perrysburg performance list. Senior Matt Studer was next for the Jackets at 14th overall in 17:08, also a personal best for the season. Senior Hunter Frydenlund also broke the 18-minute barrier, finishing 33rd in 17:52. Following closely behind Frydenlund was a strong pack of Jackets, led by freshman Adam Ohls, who pulled a minute off his previous best to finish in 18:08, with sophomore Darcy Cavanagh and senior Joe Faehnle close on his heels at 18:10 and 18:18, respectively. Both also were PHS fall play opens Nov. 7 Under the direction of Rob Gentry and Deb Drew, rehearsals for the first theatre production of the year are under way for the cast of “The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940.” This non-musical whodunit, by John Bishop, will take the audience through hilarious mistaken identities, false accusations and twists and turns. The story follows the creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious “Stage Door Slasher.” The team assembles for a backer's audition of their new show. The plot thickens as Nazis, dead bodies, hidden doors and secret passages abound. Will the “Slasher” be unmasked? Not before the audience has a side-splitting good time. New curtain times this year are November 7 and 8, at 7:30 p.m., and November 9, at 2:30 p.m., in the PHS auditorium. Also new will be the opportunity to order tickets online, as well as at the box office.

Senior Connor Masell rounded out the Perrysburg top seven in 18:40, also a season best. The open race also saw fast times and fine performances, led by the gutsy freshman James Hannenman in 18:34. Hannenman has improved his time every single meet for a total improvement of nearly four minutes. His indefatigable racing has seen him consistently battle back when seemingly run right out of contention, often with his last mile being the quickest. Showing further promise for the future, freshman Elson Dolliver crossed the line immediately behind Hannenman, turning in yet another personal best in 18:36. Other notable runs included personal bests by seniors Corey Grey and Bradley Wilson, in 19:31 and 20:26, respectively. The Yellow Jackets will compete in the district meet with hopes of advancing to the regional finals in Tiffin.

Many of the cancer survivor artists will be present to share the stories behind their artwork. The cancer journey is a time of great emotional and mental stress, along with the physical hardships sometimes encountered with treatment. Art expression is one of the ways that people cope with the extraordinary changes they have gone through in their lives. Since art expression is an individual process, the scope of the collection ranges from glass mosaic and cross stitch to collage and painting. Artworks may have been created as part of the Healthy Spirit Art Therapy program, held by TVC with the support of Key Bank and the Toledo Community Foundation, and local art therapist Areka Foster, or as an individual artistic expression from home. The TVC Cancer Survivor Art Show will take place at The Victory Center, 5532 West Central Avenue, Suite B, Toledo. This presentation is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

She is about 1 ½ years old and is a lovely long hair and calico mix. Odessa came to the shelter as a stray back in February and has been patiently waiting to be adopted ever since. She is generally quiet and reserved—a little unsure of new people at first, but quite a lover once those new people become familiar. Do you think Odessa is the perfect addition to your family? Why wait? Come meet her today! This good-looking guy is Marvin. He’s a 3 ½ year old Lab mix who came to the shelter in April of this year and would love to find a home where he could be the center of attention. Marvin is affectionate and playful. He loves to be walked. And his personality is absolutely charming. Want to meet Marvin? Stop out to the shelter today! He’s waiting for his forever family. **All of our pets have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated appropriate to their age, tested for heart worm and current on prevention in dogs, received an initial de-worming and flea prevention, have a 14-day health guarantee and a free physical exam to local participating veterinary offices. All of our pets are also microchipped prior to adoption.** Please visit or call the Wood County Humane Society at 419-352-7339 to learn more about these great pets.
