Rossford Record 1939 — Your Hometown Newspaper — Check us out on the Internet! We Honor WWW.ROSSFORD.COM VOLUME 75, NUMBER 34 – AUGUST 21, 2014 ROSSFORD, WOOD COUNTY, OHIO Welcome back, students! School starts this week The Rossford School District welcomed students back to classes this week. Grades 1 to 7 and 9 started Wednesday, grades 8, 10, 11 and 12 begin today, and kindergarten students start on Monday, August 25. Above left, RHS student Maggie Leahy places a “Welcome to Rossford High School, Class of 2018” yard sign in the yard of a new freshman. For their first day, RHS freshmen enjoy “Link Crew Day” where only ninth-graders and Link Crew Leaders, like Maggie, are in attendance. The freshmen experience a full day of large and small group activities to ease the transition into high school, according to Pat Murtha, RHS assistant principal. Link Crew is a program through which upperclass students serve as mentors to the freshmen. Above right, Superintendent Dan Creps welcomed two new staff members to the school district this year. With him are, left, Erika Schadle, Glenwood music teacher, and Kelynne Pabin, speech/language pathologist at the high school, junior high and Eagle Point Elementary. Below, students at All Saints Catholic School brought their backpacks to a special “Back to School Mass” last Sunday. Students from preschool to college could bring their backpacks for a blessing by Father Kent Kaufman, All Saints pastor. After Mass, everyone was invited to meet new principal Teri Fischer and the rest of the All Saints school staff. Students and families brought their supplies to the classrooms and enjoyed ice cream sponsored by the All Saints Parent Teacher Organization. State grants to improve public water systems After 20 years of silence, the Rossford United Methodist Church bell will ring again this Sunday in downtown Rossford. In 1922, the original church and bell tower was dedicated. A bell cast by the Vanduzen & Tift Bell Co. of Cincinnati was placed in the tower. For the next 72 years, the bell called Rossford to worship. In the early 1990s, due to mechanical problems with the frame and broken parts, the bell fell silent and has remained so for about 20 years. “In reality, it has not been a bell. It has been a piece of metal in the bell Please Recycle This Newspaper tower,” Pastor Robert Ball said. “We are happy to announce to the community that the bell of RUMC will ring again.” Nearly $7,000 was raised to make the repairs, Pastor Ball explained. The work is done, the tower roof repaired and tower floor rebuilt, and the bell is ready to ring. “Each Sunday morning the bell will sound announcing that we are ready to gather the community for the worship of God,” he said. “We sing because songs are meant to be sung. We love because love is not love until you give it away. And the bell will once again ring out the message that everyone is welcome, none of us are perfect and all are loved.” Above is the RUMC administrative council– back row from left: Troy Westfall, John Rust Jr., Pete Petersen and Jerry Baumgartner; front row: Pastor Ball, Deb James, Torie Westfall, Sarah Bueher and Trudy McCamey. At left, working on the bell are Mike Hoffman and Wendell James. Ohio’s top agriculture, EPA and natural resource officials visited Perrysburg Township last week to announce new initiatives and millions of dollars in grants for water quality programs. Jim Zehringer, director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources; Craig Butler, director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency; David Daniels, director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture, and State Representative Tim Brown, among others. attended the news conference at the farm of Kris Swartz on Ault Road. They believe the new multi-agency initiatives will make available significant resources to local communities and the agriculture community to help further strengthen protections for Lake Erie water quality and local drinking water. $150 Million in No-Interest Loans to Protect Water Quality Ohio will make available more than $150 million in grants and loans over the next year to help public water systems keep drinking water safe, improve facilities and reduce the amount of phosphorus they discharge into the Lake Erie watershed. Ohio has sought and received approval from the U.S. EPA to expand the ways that existing sources of funds can be used to address the most pressing needs. This includes: •$100 million in zerointerest loans to help reduce phosphorus. The Ohio EPA will make loans available to local wastewater systems for equipment and facilities that reduce the levels of phosphorus and other pollutants. Preference will be given to public wastewater treatment plants in the Lake Erie watershed or a watershed where Ohio EPA has identified that phosphorus is excessive. •$50 million in zero-interest loans for drinking water plants. The Ohio EPA also will make loans available to local drinking water plants for upgrades and back-up water sources. Preference will be given to water systems in the Lake Erie watershed and those that have experienced an algal bloom or a detection of toxins. Qualifying projects include components that treat for toxins produced by harmful algal blooms, as well as projects that implement avoidance strategies such as interconnections with other water supplies, new elevated storage facilities and installation of alternative sources of water. •$1 million in new grants for public water systems.

Penta Career Center classes begin this week By Beth Church Penta Career Center students returned to school this week welcomed by 27 new staff members. Penta Superintendent Ron Matter updated the school’s board of education on backto-school preparations at their August 13 meeting. On Monday, August 18, the school welcomed students to their first day with a pancake and sausage breakfast. “The first 10 days we have a lot of activities,” Mr. Matter explained. “It’s about building relationships, building a team environment and getting to know the students. Not just giving them a list of 50 rules.” “We want to make kids feel comfortable and confident that they made the right choice coming to Penta.” New teachers reported last week for an orientation, he said. A number of “professional learning communities” are forming among the educators to focus on best practices in the classroom, as well as literacy and math designs, the superintendent said. “These are teacher-led activities all helping our staff to get better,” he added. Ryan Lee, assistant director, said many students and their parents attended “jump start” events over the summer to complete paperwork, visit classrooms, order uniforms and more. Penta’s open house for parents will be Thursday, August 28, from 6 to 8 p.m. During the summer, Mr. Lee said many students took OGT testing and preparation classes. “Over 65 percent of the students participating can check off one more test [they have passed],” he explained. Rich Birt, supervisor of operations, updated the board on maintenance projects that were completed this summer. “Operations had a pretty busy summer,” he said, noting that all rooms and windows were cleaned, hallway floors were waxed, the parking lot asphalt was cracksealed and 500 trees were mulched. The school hired only five student employees this summer, instead of 10 or 11, due to a contract with TBS, which cleaned the entire building in five days at the beginning of the summer. “Then the building was ready for STEM camp and summer school,” Mr. Birt said. The students painted all exterior doors and finished touch-up painting in classrooms. Also this summer, he noted, all busses were cleaned, serviced and passed state inspection. LED lighting was installed in the auditorium for energy savings and less maintenance. Cabinets were installed in several classrooms for additional storage. Control Systems of Ohio tied the restroom exhaust fans to the motion sensors, like the lights, so they will not run continuously, saving on that cost. “Those fans have run since we moved into the building,” which was seven years ago, he explained. His staff also is “about 90 percent complete” with a major project of cleaning out the woods along Bates Road, which was started several years ago. “There’s trash, concrete, tires in there,” Mr. Birt said, noting the area of school property has been “a dumping grounds” for area properties. Personnel Matters The board took action on the following personnel matters: •Accepted retirements and resignations from David Deskins, director of human resources, as of August 17, who has been appointed superintendent of the Green County Career Center; Frank Kohlhofer, satellite marketing instructor at Springfield High School, who has been appointed the SHS athletic director and is resigning when a replacement is found for him; Bonnie Williams, secretary, as of July 31, after serving 30 years with the adult education department, and Morgan Taylor, secretary, as of June 23. •Approved the employment of Starla Eisenmann, secretary, $17.91 per hour, 180-day probationary contract, as of July 21; Lisa Hibbard, administrative assistant/office manager, $45,171, one-year limited contract, as of August 11, Jennifer Northrup, secretary, $19.09 per hour, 180-day probationary contract as of August 1; Jennifer White, secretary, $16.80 per hour, 180-day probationary contract as of August 1.

Mr. DuPuis’ Polish roots come from the Zychowicz family–a family with a history of making kielbasa in Toledo. The fourth annual scholar- ship competition grew in dollar value and winners for 2014 due in part to a joint effort between PACT, TPA, and the family of Mr. Blaszczyk. Both PACT and TPA donated $1,500 each to the scholarship fund, and the Blaszczyk family donated $1,000 to the Martin A. Blaszczyk Memorial Scholarship. The number of winners increased to four with each winner receiving $1,000. The money will be paid directly to each recipient’s high school or university. Over the past three years, PACT has annually awarded scholarships to the students with the best essays. Three years ago, the value of each scholarship was $500. In 2013, the dollar value increased to $750. “Part of PACT’s mission is to promote and preserve the Polish heritage,” said Stan Machosky, president of PACT’s board of directors. “PACT and TPA, along with Janice Blaszczyk, Mr. Blaszczyk’s sister, reviewed the essays and voted on which students deserved the scholarship. In our first three years, we have had some compelling stories submitted and that made the judging of the essays very challenging. This year’s entries offered outstanding essays that again made judging very competitive.” New IRS program to reroute some municipal tax refunds The Internal Revenue Service has announced a new IRS municipal tax levy program, scheduled to begin in September. Rossford Finance Director Karen Freeman said the program will reroute state and local income tax refunds–normally paid to the taxpayer–to the IRS instead, if federal taxes are owed. Under IRS levy authority, the City of Rossford will have to deduct the amount owed to the IRS from local tax refunds. This only affects accounts where money is owed to the IRS, and affected taxpayers should first have received a notice from the IRS, advising them of their options, she explained. Mrs. Freeman believes the program should not affect many Rossford taxpayers. During the last tax year, she said only 94 refunds were issued to individuals– representing less than 2 percent of residents who filed. “And of these, only those who owe money to the IRS may be impacted by the change,” she added. Through the Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA), Rossford will send a letter no later than two weeks after a refund has been directed to the IRS, letting the taxpayer know that a refund was rerouted due to this new program, Mrs. Freeman said.

ODOT District Two held its annual “Roadeo” competition on August 6 at its Bowling Green headquarters. Far more than a sporting event for drivers, the contest tests each driver’s ability to maneuver through several tight obstacle courses. Top left, snowplow operator Joe Howard of the Fulton County garage uses his plow to rotate a wood plank On August 6, the Ohio Department of Transportation District Two, which serves all of Lucas and Wood counties as well as six other counties in northwest Ohio, held its annual “Roadeo” competition at district headquarters in Bowling Green. The contest tests the skills and knowledge of snowplow and equipment operators. Drivers face a series of challenging obstacle courses, which must be successfully navigated using a 10-ton dump truck/snowplow and a front-end loader. Theresa Pollick, public information officer, said 54 employees registered for this year’s competition. The event simulates actual challenges drivers face when operating equipment on a daily basis, explained Ms. Pollick. Before participating in the maneuverability course, each driver completed a written exam, testing their knowledge. They then were walked through the courses which were designed with their own unique set of challenges. Participants in the front end loader contest were first required to maneuver the vehicle through a narrow “S” curve in both forward and reverse. They were then required to back the loader as close to a blockade as possible without striking it. Snow plow drivers faced similar challenges, driving their vehicles through a tight “S” curve backing up to a blockade. Drivers also were expected to rotate a wood plank without causing it to fall from an orange barrel. without causing it to fall off the orange barrel. Above right, Nick Moore attempts to navigate a frontend loader through a series of sharp, narrow bends. Each driver had to drive the “S” course in forward and reverse to simulate the narrrow spaces they must maneuver when loading rock salt into snowplow trucks, which are often close together in the lot. Maneuverability was tested again when drivers had to weave their plows through a narrow path. The final part of the contest came when drivers pushed a barrel (to simulate snow) to a particular spot on the pavement. This year’s winners of the snowplow competition were: first place, Chuck Theis, Seneca County garage; second place, Jason Naus, Wood County and third place, Rich Knauss, Northwood outpost. Taking first through third place in the front-end loader contest were, respectively: Mr. Theis, Manny Carrillo–Wood County and Mr. Naus. First and second place winners of the District Two event will face the winners from 11 other ODOT districts at the ODOT Direc- tor ’s Cup “Roadeo” in Columbus on September 4. Last year, District Two was represented by Dana Missler. Mr. Missler, who works from the Williams County garage, said the state competition is even more challenging. “It’s a lot harder and has a tighter space to maneuver obstacles,” he said, noting that in the local competition operators are permitted to maneuver the plow, unlike the state competition. Mr. Missler said the state course is designed by a long-time winner of the competition. “He sets it up, and the course is almost impossible to do,” said the ODOT employee, who has traveled to Columbus three times to compete and won the statewide plow contest last year. –Jane Maiolo Attorney general investigates water price gouging cases Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has sent letters to 58 area businesses to seek substantiation of bottled water prices before, during, and after the recent Toledo water ban. The office has received 56 related consumer complaints. “Although Ohio does not currently have a statute that defines what price gouging is, we are working with consumers and businesses to gather all the facts,” Mr. DeWine said. “It is possible that the facts will show that no violations occurred, but we want to make sure that the businesses substantiate any price increases and ensure they conformed with Ohio law. Those that cannot substantiate their actions may face legal repercussions.” On August 8, the attorney general’s office sent letters to businesses requesting substantiation for their water prices during the following timeframes: June 1 to August 1; August 2 to 4 (during the ban); and August 5 after the ban was lifted. The letters also requested documentation detailing what the businesses themselves paid for water during those time periods. Mr. DeWine would not release names of the businesses that received letters. He encouraged consumers to contact his office if they suspected unfairly high prices for bottled water as a result of the Toledo water ban. The attorney general’s consumer protection section is reviewing information submitted in complaints and other sources for possible signs of unfair, deceptive or unconscionable practices. Currently, Ohio does not have a statute that defines price gouging, Mr. DeWine said. However, the state’s Consumer Sales Practices Act prohibits unfair, deceptive and unconscionable sales practices. A practice could be considered unconscionable if the supplier knew at the time of the transaction that the price was substantially higher than the price at which similar goods or services could be readily obtained. It also could be considered an unfair and deceptive practice to dramatically increase the price of instock products based solely in response to current events, he explained. Consumers who suspect price gouging or other unfair business practices should contact the attorney general’s office by calling 800-282- 0515 or visiting www.Ohio AttorneyGeneral.gov. Consumers should submit as much information and documentation as possible with their complaints.

Leatherman 1921-2013 RHS Bulldog golf team starts strong this season By Michael Krieger The Rossford boys varsity golf team is off to a strong start for the 2014 season. Since August 6, the team has played in five tournaments. During that time, they won both the Cardinal Stritch and Fostoria Invitationals, and finished fourth of 15 teams in the Liberty-Benton Invitational. They also finished third in the Maumee Invitational that featured 20 of the most competitive teams in the area. At Cardinal Stritch, senior Ryan Niese shot a 74 and was the medalist for the tournament. Sophomore Jackson Murphree shot a 76 and freshman Casey Desmond contributed an 80. At Maumee, the team was led by Mason Robinson’s 73, Niese’s 76, and Murphree’s 78. The team’s early success has 19-year head coach Del Clayton encouraged that their pre-season goal of winning the Northern Buckeye Conference is realistic. “The strength of this team lies with its senior leadership,” said Clayton, speaking about Robinson, who was last year’s NBC Player of the Year and Niese, who was Second Team All-League. Clayton also commended his team on their effort in the off-season. “These kids spent a lot of time playing this summer. It’s good to see them get MINI FARM AUCTION Thurs., Aug 28, 2014, Competitive Rates, Unbeatable Service Mortgage Loans 3.7 Acres, 4 bedrm Farm Home, 48x80 pole barn, Lg main barn, Machinery bldg.

That kind of dedication has the Bulldogs poised to compete for the league title this season. The NBC looks to be a tight race between Rossford and last year’s champion Lake, but Eastwood and Woodmore are expected to be competitive as well. Despite his reliance on his seniors, Clayton also will look for contributions from his younger players. “We have the benefit of back end competition, meaning the players will have to earn that fifth or sixth spot on the varsity. That kind of competition on the team makes a team better,” he added. In varsity golf, a team is comprised of six players but only the top four scores are Reitz, David Schaffer, Desmond and Colton Fugate. The Bulldog golfers play in the first of four NBC shootouts on August 28 at Sugar Creek Golf Course. The match will be hosted by Woodmore. The team’s early success could indicate a promising season and perhaps the first league golf title for RHS since 1985.

RHS cross country makes strides to build program By Michael Krieger “Our main goal this year is to get kids out and to give them some confidence,” said Rossford High School head cross country coach Vern Kiehl about this year’s Bulldog team. He also wants to emphasize having fun and being a part of a program that could be on the rise. Kiehl, in his third season with Rossford, has the benefit of youth–only one senior returns. However, the numbers are on the increase. In previous years, the boys team struggled to post a team score in meets because they didn’t have a full squad. This year’s team has eight boys, none of which are seniors. The girls team finished fourth in the Northern Buckeye Conference last year, but after losing the leadership of Jessica Pietrasz and Maddie York to graduation, the team boasts seven runners whose focus will be on trying to improve every race. 25%Off La Exp. 8bor -30-14 Residential • Commercial For the best mortgage advice, ask your neighbor.

Allyson Tayler is the lone senior on both squads and will provide some leadership and nurturing for younger runners. Kiehl went on to explain that once Tayler graduates, his hope is there still will be 14 runners in the program, so he sees this season as a positive year for the program in terms of growth. In addition to Tayler’s leadership, Kayla Kirkman seems to be emerging as the team’s top runner at this point with ninth grader Hannah Kreuz providing some competition as well. Maddie Potts and Sam Beck return to round out the top five. The boys team also will lean heavily on its young runners. The team features three talented freshmen Jake Pietrasz, Ryan Pietrasz and John Bergstrom, who have some promise as long as they can adjust to racing for 3.1 miles in varsity competition. Bulldog leadership for the boys rests on the efforts of juniors Mat Myers and Harrison Fink, both of whom have bought into the team and have worked hard throughout the summer in preparation for the season. Even though the youth on the team will provide a good base to build from, Coach Kiehl understands that having numbers in cross-country is a benefit. In fact, he still welcomes any RHS students to come out for the team even at this stage in the season. Any student-athlete interested in trying cross-country, should call the coach at 419266-4755 for further information. The cross country teams open the season on Saturday, August 23 at Mill Creek Golf Course in Sandusky for the St. Mary’s Panther Run for Fun, a shorter race allowing runners to ease into what may prove to be a challenging and competitive season.

Substitute school nurses, improve water quality and combat harmful algal blooms. The program will be operated through the Ohio Clean Lakes Initiative, which has already helped protect more than 40,000 acres in northwest Ohio. The Ohio Phosphorus II task force report highlighted cover crops and controlled drainage structures as especially effective strategies for managing nutrients, and these practices will be targeted by the new $1.25 million effort. Cover crops improve soil health and decrease runoff, and some crops even store nutrients in the soil, thereby reducing the need for as much fertilizer in the spring.

Mr. Swartz, who serves as vice president of the Ohio Federation of Soil and Water Conservation Districts, said he is pleased to see the state commitment to improving the health of Lake Erie. “Ohio’s soil and water conservation districts are actively working with farmers to implement best management practices, and this additional funding will allow us to help more producers by getting additional practices on the ground now. We look forward to working with our partners at ODNR and Ohio’s continued leadership in improving water quality.” In a statement released after the news conference, Governor John Kasich noted, “Lake Erie is one of Ohio’s most precious resources, and each day millions turn to it for drinking as well as their livelihoods.” “Ohio has been increasingly aggressive in protecting it, and we’re building on those efforts with new resources for those on the front lines of this battle,” the governor said. “There’s more work to be done, and we’re going to keep pushing forward.” During the past four years, he believes Ohio has made significant progress in protecting the lake, including: •Restricting water amounts that can be pumped out of the Lake Erie watershed; •Enacting new regulations on fertilizer application to reduce the nutrient runoff that contributes to algal blooms; •Reducing open-water dumping of Maumee River dredge material and prohibiting open-water dumping of Cuyahoga River dredge material; •Banning oil and gas production under Lake Erie, and •Helping combat invasive species via mutual aid agreements with nine other Great Lakes states and Canadian provinces. American Red Cross blood drives set for Aug. The American Red Cross continues to have an urgent need for blood donors of all blood types to give before the Labor Day holiday. Donors with types O negative, B negative and A negative blood are especially needed. Blood donations often decline during the summer months, particularly around summer holidays. With school starting back up and summer activities coming to an end, there is still time for eligible donors to make a difference in the lives of patients this summer. To encourage donations over the Labor Day holiday weekend, all donors who come out to donate blood August 30 through September 1, will receive a Red Cross mason jar tumbler, while supplies last. Upcoming blood drives in Perysburg include: •August 26, from 1 to 7 p.m., at St. Clare Commons, 12469 Five Point Road •August 27, from noon to 6 p.m., at Perrysburg Township Police and Fire, 26711 Lime City Road •August 28, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Owens Community College, 30335 Oregon Road To learn more and make an appointment to donate blood, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-Red Cross.

Eight re-enactors will provide a first-person interpretation in period-appropriate clothing of Wood County citizens interred in Wood County cemeteries. Those persons chosen by the Living History Committee were picked because “they had a story to be told” and it was felt the rest of the community would enjoy hearing it.

The Wood County Sherriff’s Department will provide free rides up to the mound where the program will be held. Those attending may bring a lawn chair for seating. In the event of inclement weather, the program will be moved to the First United Methodist Church, 1506 East Wooster Street. Four members of the Bigelow Family Band will be featured, including a short performance by current and former members of the BG Area Community Band: father and founder John Marcus Bigelow and his wife Etta Eliza Hunt Bigelow will be portrayed by Brian and Sara Bushong; eldest son Jack Harvey will be portrayed by Ryan Holley, and youngest daughter Virginia “Fritzie” Bigelow Hartman will be portrayed by Delaine Adams. Other honorees include George Case, a Civil War veteran and founding member of the Grand Army of the Republic post in North Baltimore; Bobbie Bradley, a Wood County 4-H’er whose passion for horses helped fund the Horse Barn at the Wood County Fairgrounds, and two women, Sarah Elizabeth “Lizzie” Walters and An informational meeting for those interested in becoming a Master Gardener will be held Monday, August 25, at 7 p.m., at Way Public Library, 101 East Indiana Avenue, Perrysburg.

Carmel, fruitful Vine, Splendor of heaven, blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me where you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make your request). There are none who can withstand your power. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times). Holy Mother, I place this prayer in your hands (3 times).

I, in this short dialogue, want to thank You for everything and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from You, no matter how great the material desire may be. I want to be with You and my loved ones in Your perpetual glory. Amen. Thank You for Your love toward me and my loved ones.

Despite the lopsided loss, 11th-year head coach Jim Lorenzen is upbeat about the girls’ potential for a successful year. “Playing teams like [North Baltimore] should benefit us,” he said. “The teams in the league will be more equally matched with us.” Last year’s Lady Bulldogs finished fourth in the Northern Buckeye Conference and seventh in the northern division of the Northwest Ohio Girls Golf League. But with five returning varsity players, the Lady Bulldogs hope they will compete and even challenge for an unprecedented NBC championship. “Our girls are young, but they gained a lot of varsity If your isn’t ca broker lling you sho you, uld call us.

In varsity golf competition, teams play six players and take the top four scores to determine the scoring for the match. This year’s Lady Bulldogs team is made up of just six players total. The girls have no seniors, so they will look to junior Savannah McIntosh for leadership. Four sophomores Alexis Schultz, CeCe Smith, Emma Kieper and Shaelyn Agocs, round out the top five and all should provide significant contributions. Also, worth watching will be freshman Hannah Radwanski, who will be pressed into varsity action as well. Lorenzen acknowledges that having a small team might be a disadvantage because there is not a lot of competition within the team to push the better players. Still, he believes the girls should stand up to the challenges ahead. For the first time in his career, he has had more girls on the team practice throughout the off-season on their own. “Most of the girls have played all summer and took lessons in the winter. They really are interested in getting better,” he said. That kind of work ethic could pay dividends for the young team.
