Rossford R e c o r d — Your Hometown Newspaper Since 1939 — WWW.ROSSFORD.COM Council discusses road, sewer and bridge plans VOLUME 76, NUMBER 34 – AUGUST 20, 2015 By Beth Church Upcoming road, sewer and bridge improvements were highlighted at the August 10 meeting of Rossford City Council. The bridge on Lime City Road near All Saints Catholic Church will be replaced next year, City Administrator Mike Scott told council. “We hope it is not down as long as Glenwood,” he said. “But they want to do it next summer so it won’t impact school.” ODOT is replacing five area bridges, and chose Lime City as one of the projects, he added. The city is requesting the bridge design accommodate extra sidewalk space on the west side, which will cost an additional $40,000. “With 10 feet on one side, we can continue the bike path down Lime City to con- nect to the township’s bike path,” Mr. Scott explained. The city already has received a grant for the realignment of the Lime City and State Route 65 intersection that will include a 10foot wide bike path stretching from Route 65 to the All Saints property. He will ask the church and Rossford Eagles to have their portions of the path completed in time for the bridge replacement. Perrysburg Township is part of a regional plan to establish a bike path that will run along Buck and Bates roads. Council President Larry Oberdorf said the new bridge is a positive, 40-year project for the city. “This will have an impact for a very, very long time,” he noted. Council member Caroline Zuchowski Eckel agreed, “It will make that road so much safer for kids and people walking there.” Mr. Scott also updated council on the completion of this year’s paving projects. “They’ve done a great job,” he said of the contractor Shelley Company. However, he noted the inferior quality of the road bed on Osborn Street, which will need to be repaired next summer. “The last half of the furthest block has major subbase problems,” the city administrator explained. “They’ll put an additional inch of asphalt over that section. We’re hoping it will hold up through the winter okay.” As the contractor is finishing the street paving program, Mr. Scott said some curbs still need to be replaced and storm basins cleaned. See COUNCIL on page 3Á ‘Warrior Run’ on Sunday to benefit Wounded Warriors organization The Rossford Community Recreation Center and Rossford Bass Pro Shops will co-host “The Warrior Run” 5K run and walk on Sunday, August 23. The race begins at 9 a.m. It will start and finish at Bass Pro Shops, running through the Crossroads area. “This event gives us an opportunity to help a great cause while partnering with a business that has been great for the Rossford community, and drawing people from all over the region together for something that should be a very fun event for all in attendance,” said Toby Ledesma, Rossford parks and recreation director. Bass Pro Shops special events coordinator Samantha Durivage agreed, “There are ways for all to get involved and help support the cause. We know that not everyone is a runner so volunteers, supporters and sponsors are encouraged to get involved.” Leon Forystek, Ohio Army National Guard captain, approached the store and city recreation department about an event to educate others about veterans suffering from many types of wounds. “When I returned home from Afghanistan back in 2013, I was nervous to return back to civilian life. I didn't know what to do, how to function, or what the first step was to actually being normal,” he explained. “If you had seen me walking down the street, you may never have guessed that I suffer the silent wound. The wound that still haunts our veterans today–a wound that has led hundreds of veterans to commit suicide.” He was speaking of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which is experienced by thousands of veterans. “When people hear of wounded warriors, they think that it’s the veteran in the wheelchair or the old man with the cane coming out of the VA center,” Capt. Forystek said. “So I came up with an idea about spreading the word to others and educating them in what a wounded warrior is all about.” All proceeds from the event will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project. “Our Wounded Warriors come from all over the world. The injuries are one or a com- bination of many types of wounds, some invisible or others that stand out,” Capt. Forystek noted. “Every injury is different and not one is the same, which is why I want to share my story and get the word out to educate others. In the long run, that word could potentially help a veteran in need of a friend, a hug, trip to the VA, someone to just listen to or provide a place to stay.” The Rossford parks and recreation department will be assisted by the Toledo Roadrunners organization in promoting the race to its members. The Warrior Run 5K Run and Walk is open to participants of all ages. Members of the military, active, retired or veterans will receive a $3 discount. Purple Heart recipients can register for free. Registration on race day is $25, with a limited number of T-shirts available. For registration forms, visit rossfordrecreation.com or call the Rossford Recreation Center at 419666-2905. For volunteer signups, contact Ms. Durivage at 419-891-3900. Journal readers are everywhere From there to here, from here to there, Rossford Record Journal readers are everywhere.

Manhattan, a place like this would have a two to three month waiting list.” The casino recently celebrated “Responsible Gaming Education Week” that emphasizes how to recognize a gambling problem. “We are such a big believer in responsible gaming,” he said. Mr. Quigley pointed out the different attitudes toward hobbies such as gaming, golf and NASCAR. “I like golf, and people would say that’s just chasing around a little ball. And I like NASCAR, which people describe as turning left for 500 miles.” “No one would question the amount you spend on golf or NASCAR or sailing,” he said. “But they would question that same amount spent on gaming.” Casino officials do recognize “a segment of society can’t handle our product.” He has talked with many customers who have gambling problems, and has offered them help–but also had to ban some from the property. It is estimated that 2 to 3 percent of the population has a gambling problem, he said. “In every business, there’s some ill to that business,” the general manager added. Along with its contributions to the local economy, Hollywood Casino has supported more than 100 organizations in northwest Ohio, making $1.2 million in cash donations. Thirteen of its managers serve on local boards of nonprofits and charitable agencies. Mr. Quigley noted one of the casino’s greatest donation programs is providing leftover food to local homeless shelters and food banks. More than 120,000 pounds of food from the buffet have been donated to Seagate Foodbank of Northwest Ohio with the assistance of ProMedica, he said. RBA past president Brenda Schwind told Mr. Quigley that the association has appreciated the casino’s many sponsorships of local events such as the Business Fair and Riverfest. “From the standpoint of the RBA, the casino has been a great partner,” she said. “We thank you for all that you do.” To date, the following donors have contributed: Stars & Stripes–Meijer Hollywood Casino Welch Publishing/Rossford Record Red–Rossford Convention & Visitors Bureau Kingston Residence Cardinal Staffing Boilermakers Union Local 85 Total Sports Rossford White–Edward Jones/Justin Knierim Heban, Sommer and Murphree John Folcik Cornerstone Communty Financial Spitler Huffman Richard DeVaul Tax Service McDonald’s Poggemeyer Design Group Blue–First Federal Bank Martin Lark Insurance Agency Country Lane BBQ Drs.

For him, the 35 years have debunked many of the stereotypes of the gaming industry. “I’ve seen the impact casino gambling has on local business and local municipalities,” he told the Rossford Business Association at a July luncheon meeting. Mr. Quigley recently replaced Richard St. Jean, who moved to California to open a new casino in San Diego. Despite some expectations of “crime and prostitution and fear of the industry coming in,” he believes Hollywood Casino has benefitted the area in a variety of ways. “In fact, there’s more crime at one Penn State home football game than all the crime at all the casinos,” he noted. He grew up in a small town in New Jersey where the “blue collar fishing industry” was the career of choice for most residents. “That’s a very, very hard life,” Mr. Quigley acknowledged. “I figured I needed something else to do.” At that time in the 1980s, casinos were just opening in Atlantic City, and he secured a job as a dealer at a craps table, eventually working up to vice president of operations 23 years later. “I’m a product of the industry–an industry I’m very proud of,” he said. Mr. Quigley since has managed casinos in Louisiana, Iowa, Illinois and Pennsylvania. While working in Pennsylvania, Mr. Quigley met the manager of the Three Mile Island nuclear facility, which was only a 10-minute drive from his casino. In discussing their processes for licensing in both industries, he recalled how surprised they were to realize there is a stricter application and disclosure procedure for casino employees than at the nuclear facility. And despite the pop culture depictions of Mafia connections to gaming facilities, he noted, “I don’t know one executive who’s ever been indicted.” Several years ago, he decided to retire and spend his time sailing with his wife. The couple traveled 7,000 miles from Maine to the Caribbean and back. And then, Mr. Quigley recalled, “I missed work.” His former bosses had an opening for a casino manager in Ontario, followed by the Toledo position. He described the gambling industry as “the most misunderstood.” Despite the creation of 1,000 jobs and paying onethird of its gross revenue to the state in taxes, “our business is sometimes looked on as a vice.” The Hollywood Casino Toledo facility is a $320 million development with 7.8 million visitors to date. Since it opened in 2012, $58.62 million has been paid in wages, and $191.9 million in gaming taxes paid to the state. He listed some of the statistics compiled so far–200,500 cars parked by valet, 37,000 people attending concerts and 562,000 player cards dealt. The highest jackpot awarded has been $250,000. Although every casino where he has worked featured a high-end restaurant, Mr. Quigley is especially proud of Final Cut Steak and Seafood restaurant in the Toledo casino. “It’s the best culinary experience I’ve ever had in my life,” he said. “In Sheriff to speak at RBA meeting Aug. 26 The Rossford Business Association will gather Wednesday, August 26, at noon, for a monthly luncheon meeting. New members are welcome. The meeting will feature a presentation by Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn. Lunch is sponsored by Arbors at Oregon. The meeting will take place at NECA/IBEW Electrical Workers Hall, 727 Lime City Road, Rossford. All area business people interested in joining the RBA are invited to attend the meeting. Reservations are required. To make a reservation, visit the RBA’s website www.rossfordba.com.

Movie, band tonight at Vets Park A Park-it Family Fun Night will be offered tonight, August 20, at Veterans Memorial Park. Toby Ledesma, city parks and recreation director, said the event is free and open to the public, promising “fun for all ages.” An outdoor concert by Wilson Lake and the Rock Bass band begins at 6:30 p.m. The “adventure rock” band performs rock-n-roll music in a landscape of woods and water, where kids and adults hike, fish, swim and explore a world of wonder outside the walls of their houses, TVs and video games. It’s stories of adventures, memorable characters and tributes to nature’s most heroic creatures–all with infectious rhythms of timeless rock-n-roll. The band describes their music as “Chuck Berry, Elvis, the Ramones and Dan Zanes on a fishing trip, when suddenly they begin to play. Fish and turtles splash and groove in the water while squirrels, raccoons and toads begin to boogie as the music rumbles across the waves and into the woods that surround the lake.” Band members are local residents Thomas Jackson, Don Staczek, Sandy Skala, Brian Strong and Mike Harshman. After their performance, “Big Hero 6” is the movie to be shown at 7:45 p.m. on a large LED video screen. There also will be children’s activities and giveaways. Wilson Lake and the Rock Bass will perform at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, August 20 in Veterans Memorial Park. Band members are Thomas Jackson, Don Staczek, Sandy Skala, Brian Strong and Mike Harshman. Page 2 — August 20, 2015 — ROSSFORD RECORD JOURNAL Township trustees approve MOU for completion of Carronade Drive The Perrysburg Township trustees are one step closer to completion of Carronade Drive at State Route 199. At the August 12 meeting, The trustees approved a Memorandum of Understanding with Eckel Trace Development, Ltd. The MOU authorizes the township to design and construct an extension of Carronade from its current location to Route 199. To pay for the extension, assessments of no more than $23,077 will be placed on each of the 13 parcels abutting the new road. The developer’s obligation for the cost of construction will not exceed $300,000. As part of the extension project, the township will install water, sewer lines, storm drainage, curbs, road surface, sidewalks and a multi use path on the north side of the road. The developer will be responsible for sidewalks on the south side and also agrees to dedicate at no cost to the township any necessary rightsof-way for construction. The MOU is subject to a review by the township’s legal counsel. Other Business In other business, the trustees: •Renewed the fire/EMS and police departments’ annual contracts with Lexipol for $4,038 and $5,450 respectively. The company is a provider of risk management policies and resources, delivering services through a web-based system. •Discussed the implementation of a safe zone for residents to conduct internet transactions. Police Chief Mark Hetrick said the department already offers a child safety zone and would like to expand it to include a safe place for residents to conduct internet business. “I think it’s a great idea,” said Trustee Bob Mack. “I have no problem with it,” added Mr. Britten. The only cost to the department would be the installation of signs at the police campus, indicating the zone is monitored with cameras. •Reviewed the fire/EMS run statistics for July. Fire Chief Tom Brice said the department had 172 runs last month. “It was another recordsetting month,” he noted, adding that the runs top the previous record of 154. •Heard from the fire chief that the generator died on the heavy rescue unit. “The generator went out in a rather catastrophic fashion,” Chief Brice said, adding that the unit, a 2004, will cost $5,300 to replace plus labor expenses. •Granted Police Chief Mark Hetrick permission to research the cost to purchase a 20-foot pull-behind trailer to house range materials. The chief said the current 40-foot trailer housed at the range is rusting and has been vandalized frequently. Funds for the purchase would come from the department drug fund and the new unit would be kept at the station and towed to the range as needed. •Renewed the police department’s annual agreement with LeadsOnline for $2,128. The company provides technology service that helps law enforcement catch criminals. •Continued a discussion on the administration building and relocating offices to a different part of the structure. Maintenance Supervisor Kraig Gottfried pointed out that mechanical issues with the building need to be considered, noting that his crew spent several hours last week on issues with the bathrooms and improper drainage. He also pointed out that the HVAC system has been problematic. •Discussed the replacement of 27 police fire arms at an exchange rate of $75 each. The new, 9mm weapons are easier to fire, maintain and save money on ammunition, explained Chief Hetrick. •Heard from Bob Warnimont, recreation director, that township officials have been invited to Strawberry Acres Park in Holland, where Mayor Mike Yunker will explain pickleball, a sport that is growing in the region. The trustees are looking at the courts as one possible recreation activity for parkland adjacent to the township complex. •Accepted the resignations of part time firefighters Jacob Burkes and Chad Merrick. –Jane Maiolo Wood County Park District awards bid for Buttonwood repairs By Jane Maiolo Concerns that repairs to Buttonwood Park in Perrysburg Township may need to be postponed until next year due to cost were laid to rest at the August 11 board meeting of the Wood County Park District. Last month, Neil Munger, park director, noted that bids for the project may be well over the engineer ’s estimate of $128,438. His concern stemmed from the abundance of construction projects in northwest Ohio this summer which has resulted in a sharp spike in all construction costs. At last Tuesday’s meeting, Mr. Munger informed the board that the bids were “under estimate.” He said the park district received two prices based on completion dates. The first bid of $120,000 ensured the work would be done in time for the Black Physical Therapy Consultants 27064 Oakmead Drive, Perrysburg P h on e : 4 1 9 - 8 7 4 - 6 9 5 7 Total Body Rehabilitation •Shoulder •Knee •Hip •Ankle •Feet •Balance •Conditioning Jul ie Gresko Olmstead , •Sports •Worker’s Comp.

The second bid of $106,982 stipulated completion at the end of the year. “I struggle with spending taxpayer dollars [for early completion],” he said. The park director spoke with powwow organizers, and “they understand. With that I recommend we go with the bid for completion at the end of the year.” The commissioners awarded the project to B. Hill’z Excavating Inc. of Wayne, Ohio. The firm will reconstruct the entry drive and parking lot and will add site lighting. Situated along the Maumee River, Buttonwood Park sustained heavy damage in early spring when an ice dam upstream broke, sending enormous ice blocks cascading down the river and scattering them throughout the floodplain. Damage also was done to the park’s soccer fields, and in June, the commissioners awarded the field repair project to Toledo Lawns for $13,400.

During tear down, a number of items were uncovered that were not expected, including bowed and buckled flooring and improper headers. In addition, Wood County is requiring commercial grade flooring that bears heavier weight. •Granted the park director authority to approve construction change orders for $5,000 or less with ratification of those orders approved by the commissioners at subsequent meetings. •Purchased 31.49 acres at 14055 Rangeline Road in Weston Township for $200,000 plus associated closing costs. Adjacent to Baldwin Preserve, the acreage features natural areas and a stocked fishing pond about 18 feet deep. “It has been out of crop production for a number of years,” explained Mr. Munger, adding that this increases the size of the preserve to 155.5 acres. •Approved the closing of a ditch by the Wood County engineer along the Slippery Elm Trail. The trail will remain open during construction. •Tabled until next month a discussion on a salary survey, pending the inclusion of additional details. “It’s important that we have all the data,” said Bob Hawker, chairman. •Acknowledged the work of staff at the Wood County Fair. “We got a lot of compliments on the exhibit,” said Mr. Munger. Several board members complimented the staff on the display, but expressed disappointment about the new location. “It was not anywhere clearly visible,” said commissioner John Calderonello. Mr. Munger explained that the fair board relocated the district in preparation for a new cattle barn at the former site. •Heard from Mr. Hawker on attendance at park events. “We’re seeing a nice steady increase, which is wonderful.” He encouraged staff to keep programs “fresh to meet the interest of the people.” The next park board meeting will be held at 3 p.m., Tuesday, September 8, at Park District headquarters, 18729 Mercer Road, Bowling Green, and is open to the public. d Penta BOE completes hiring for 2015-16 By Jane Maiolo With just a few days before the start of the 201516 school year, the Penta Career Center board of education finalized hiring of personnel. At the August 12 meeting, Assistant Superintendent Ed Ewers told the board that “all interviews have been conducted and the positions filled.” He noted that new hires also attended orientation earlier in the week to prepare for the school year and acclimate themselves to the career center. Superintendent Ron Matter said 27 people were hired to work on the main campus or at one of the 16member schools’ satellite programs. They, along with several staff hired after the beginning of last school year, participated in orientation where they learned more about the history of Penta and plans to celebrate its 50th anniversary in September. New staff also familiarized themselves with the computer system, setting up email accounts, he explained. Christopher Neff, career technical instructor, was among those hired at last Wednesday’s meeting. He will be paid $48,526 annually. Employed as adult education instructors for 201516 at $20 per hour are Andrew Bocian, Gary Ilconich and John Rudolph, COUNCIL ÁContinued from page 1 Colony Road Pump Station Plans are “back on” for Northwestern Water and Sewer District to replace the Colony Road pump station with a gravity sewer this summer, according to Mr. Scott. Waiting on easements from the railroad, city and NWSD, officials thought the work would not begin until next year. However, Mr. Scott told council that the easements have been approved. “They will begin by the railroad, then go down Elmtree, and cut across and tie in on Colony,” he said. Elmtree will be repaved next spring, the city administrator added. “This will be ongoing and pretty intensive–there will be a pretty good tear up of the roads, and roads will be closed.” NWSD is funding the project with a low-interest loan from the Ohio EPA. The project will improve water quality in the creek and eliminate a human health risk from exposure to untreated sewage. The Colony Road pump station is undersized and outdated, leading to discharges of untreated sewage during wet weather overflows several times a year into Grassy Creek and then the Maumee River. A gravity-flow sewer will be installed at a lower cost than replacing and operating a new pump station. Flows will be directed into an existing interceptor sewer. The district has a 1.99 percent interest rate on its $2.8 million loan. The reduced interest rate will save NWSD customers an estimated $418,767 compared to a conventional, market-rate loan. Other Business In other business, council: •Heard a question from Councilman Robert Ruse about the city’s response to the clogged and overflowing areas of Grassy Creek. “What are we doing? Should this be referred to a committee?” he asked. Mr. Ruse said he recently spoke with Wood County Engineer Ray Huber, who agreed to address problems in the creek.

City officials had an estimate of $309,500 for the work, but the actual cost was only $222,495. The city will contribute $144,800 and the residents will pay $77,700, which is divided up at the cost per foot of $37.50. There are 26 property owners who will be assessed to help pay for the cost of the curbs, sidewalks and aprons for driveways, Mr. Scott said. •Heard a question from Council member Eckel as to whether the city can be part of the Ohio attorney general’s lawsuit over price fixing on road salt. Mr. Scott said the lawsuit only affects customers of Morton Salt, and Rossford did not purchase salt from that company. •Heard concerns about speeding on Lime City Road from resident Paul Nawrocki. He asked if the police department’s speed trailer could be moved to that street to slow down motorists, and Police Chief Glenn Goss agreed. •Approved the mayor’s appointment of Howard Zibbel of Indian Ridge Trail on the board of zoning appeals. He replaces Bob Schumann, who has moved out of the city. •Noted the positive response to traffic lane changes on Dixie Highway in front of the high school and at Lime City Road. “I think it’s working out well,” Councilman Dan Wagner said. Drivers traveling through Rossford on Route 65, toward Perrysburg, will notice the “left turn only” lane in front of the high school is now a straight lane. Drivers no longer may enter the RHS parking lot at the traffic light for Dixie Highway and Bacon Street. The new “enter only” drive to the school property is at Bulldog Center (the former church entrance). The other intersection changed is westbound State Route 65 (Dixie Highway which becomes River Road).

A total of $79,477,104 was collected and distributed including $2,422,489 for special assessments. In addition $9,162,341 is to be reimbursed from the state income tax funds, $6,166,669 in non-business credit, $866,580 in owner occupied credit, and $2,129,092 in homestead exemption monies. These represent tax reductions for qualifying properties. Since the county wide human services levy fund balance was deemed sufficient for the second consecutive year, the board of commissioners requested collection of half the voted millage. This provided tax relief of $20 annually on a $100,000 home. Wood County currently maintains 74,562 individual land parcels of record and distributes the taxes to 18 school districts, 19 townships, and 26 cities and villages. Wood County has more than 100,000 individual special assessments, which are distributed to regional, county, municipal and township governments. Examples include ditch construction and maintenance, sewer and water systems, street lighting, street cleaning, and tree maintenance programs. Totals for the second half revenue distribution are as follows: Wood County . . . $2,808,447 Regional Water and Sewer . . . . . . . 778,846 County Ditch Maintenance and Construction . 189,514 County Sewer and Waterline Projects . . . . 427 Maumee Watershed Conservancy . . . . . . 42,603 Board of Developmental Disabilities. . . . . . . . 8,511,953 Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Board . . . . . . . . . 2,816,500 Park District. . . . . . 1,112,434 Committee on Aging . . . . . . . . 778,702 Board of Health . . . . 626,146 Historical Center. . . . . 59,755 Job and Family Services. . . . . . . . . 723,075 Wood County Library Bond . . . . . . . . . . . 144,103 Townships . . . . . . . 6,202,550 Municipalities . . . . 6,903,436 Schools . . . . . . . . 47,778,613 Townships Bloom . . . . . . . . . . . $131,045 Center . . . . . . . . . . . . . 78,935 Freedom . . . . . . . . . . 197,246 Grand Rapids . . . . . . . 91,748 Henry . . . . . . . . . . . . . 84,330 Jackson . . . . . . . . . . . . 53,542 Lake . . . . . . . . . . . . . 981,249 Liberty. . . . . . . . . . . . . 71,779 Middleton . . . . . . . . . 568,809 Milton . . . . . . . . . . . . . 65,649 Montgomery. . . . . . . 144,525 Perry . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 94,114 Perrysburg . . . . . . . 2,591,610 Plain . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 85,912 Portage . . . . . . . . . . . . 85,610 Troy. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 315,343 Washington . . . . . . . . 118,053 Webster . . . . . . . . . . . . 82,499 Weston . . . . . . . . . . . . 91,991 NW Wood Co.

Columbia Gas of Ohio has unleashed its new safety mascot, Digger Dog. The friendly beagle with a wagging tail, huge smile and a yellow safety vest, educates the public about the importance of calling 811 before digging, as well as what to do when the smell of natural gas is detected. “Digger Dog® is the perfect ambassador for these important safety messages,” said Dan Creekmur, president. “We’re excited to introduce him to communities throughout the state.” Since 2012, there have been more than 1,000 gas lines damaged in the state because people did not call 811, and Ohio law requires individuals to call the number at least two business days before digging. Digger Dog also will be using his sense of smell to raise awareness about the smell of gas. “If the air smells like rotten eggs, if you see dying vegetation or bubbling water, or hear a hissing sound, immediately leave the area and call Columbia Gas of Ohio at 1-800-344-4077 and 911, said Mr. Creekmur. Rewards are offered by Wood County Crime Stoppers for information leading to the arrest of criminals. Perrysburg and Rossford citizens may provide information anonymously by calling 1-800-542-7463.

The school office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party. The Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines will be used for determining eligibility. Children from families whose annual income is at or below the Federal Guidelines are eligible for free and reduced price meals or free milk, if the school participates in the Special Milk Program. Application forms are being distributed to all homes in a letter to parents or guardians. To apply for free and reducedprice benefits, households should fill out the application and return it to the school. Additional copies are available at the principal’s office. A complete application is required. Households which currently receive Special Nutrition Assistance Program Benefits (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) or Ohio Works First (OWF) funds for a child must provide the child’s name, the SNAP or OWF case number and signature of an adult household member on the application. Households which do not receive SNAP or OWF funds must provide the names of all household members, the social security number of the adult signing the application or state “none” if the adult does not have a Social Security number, the amount and source of income received by each household member, (state the monthly income), and the signature of an adult household member. If any of this information is missing, the school cannot process the application. Free Health Care: Families with children eligible for school meals may be eligible for free or low-cost health care coverage through Medicaid and/or Ohio’s Healthy Start and Healthy Families programs. These programs include coverage for doctor visits, immunizations, physicals, prescriptions, dental, vision, mental health, substance abuse and more. Call 1-800-324-8680 for more information or to request an application. Information also can be found on the web at http://jfs.ohio.gov/ohp/consumers/familychild.stm. Anyone who has an Ohio Medicaid card is already receiving these services. The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program official. To discourage the possibility of misrepresentation, the application forms contain a statement above the space for signature certifying that all information furnished is true and correct. Applications are being made in connection with the receipt of federal funds. Schools or other officials may check the information on the application at any time during the school year. Deliberate misrepresentation of information may subject the applicant to prosecution under ap- plicable state and federal laws. Households will be notified of the approval or denial of benefits. Foster children are categorically eligible for free meal benefits regardless of the household’s income. If a family has foster children living with them and wishes to apply for such meals or milk for them, contact the school for more information. Under the provision of the policy, Charlene Vidra will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian disagrees with the decision on the application or the result of verification, the decision may be discussed with the determining official on an informal basis. If a formal appeal is desired, the household has the right to a fair hearing. A fair hearing can be requested either orally or in writing from Teri Fischer, All Saints Catholic School, 630 Lime City Road, Rossford, Ohio 43460, phone 419-661-2070. The policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure. Households may apply at any time for benefits during the school year. If a household is not currently eligible or if the household size increases or income decreases because of unemployment or other reasons, the family should contact the school to file a new application. Such changes may make the student of the household eligible for free or reduced-price benefits if the household income falls at or below the Federal Guideline levels.

It also features the latest technology information and stories about people who are visually impaired and their families. In the summer issue is a story about Paul (Rocky) and Jan Rachow, who began the FrogTown Low Vision Support Group in the Holland/Springfield Township area. Rocky’s had limited vision in his left eye following a childhood injury and in 2004 had surgery for retinal detachment on his right eye. His sight failed to improve and he began to adjust to a life of low vision. Rocky’s sight progressively worsened and although he received help with sight devices from the Sight Center of Northwest Ohio, he longed for a group of people in similar situations whom he could relate. He started FrogTown Low Vision Support Group with the help of his wife and friends. The name was taken from the nickname given to the couple’s hometown. In 2007, a member of their group was diagnosed with macular degeneration and suggested that Rocky see his eye doctor for a second opinion. Rocky underwent surgery Two years later, the Rachows attended a low vision support group course at the Sight Center. After completing the course, they decided to open their group to the public. They changed the name to Frogtown Low Vision Group, and chose the Lucas County Library system as a place to meet. “We offer hope, laughter, friendship and information to our group. We listen and let the vision impaired along with their spouses and caretakers know that they are not alone,” the couple said. The couple hope that their story will inspire others who are concerned with the well being of the vision impaired or its affect on loved ones. “There is no greater reward then watching someone who comes to our meetings with their head down and within a couple of months their head is held high with a smile on their face and a new appreciation of life,” they concluded. The group’s next meeting, which is free and open to the public, will be at 10 a.m., Wednesday, August 5. at the Reynolds Corner Library, 4833 Dorr Street, Toledo.

When her son was 9 years old, she took him to the Ohio State School for the Blind in Columbus, transporting him back and forth twice a week for six years. “After bringing him home from the school four years ago, I realized not only did I want to mainstream my son in the regular school system, I also wanted to find a way to create awareness for others with disabilities,” she said. Ms. Kolasinski said she has learned a great deal from her son. “We live in such a materialistic world, where you are judged depending on what you have on or if you are missing a tooth or have a hole in your shirt.

Bulldog varsity golfers look to be NBC favorite this season Page 6 — August 20, 2015 — ROSSFORD RECORD JOURNAL RHS girls tennis focuses on basics, improvement Members of the varsity tennis team are, front row from left, Bethany Price, Aly Hope, Anna Price, Ally Kozina; back row, Amber Strzesynski, Ivy Bergstrom, Tabitha Rhue and Madison Wauford. By Michael Krieger The focus of the 2015 Rossford girls tennis team will not be about wins and losses but rather learning the basics of the game and improving in every match. “I’m trying to teach them life skills,” said Head Coach George Rios. “Tennis is a game you can play for life, and you will always play in Heard the news? Get ALL the local news in the Rossford Record Journal! Subscribe today 419.874.4491 your age bracket.” He is trying to teach the girls–most of whom are young and inexperienced–to appreciate the game and to advance their skill set the more they play. Rios, in his first season with the Bulldogs, brings a wealth of coaching experience and a tremendous love of the game to the job. With 23 years of coaching at the varsity level, he has a strong grasp of the fundamentals and of what it takes to be successful at tennis, not just in high school but as the athletes progress through life. Rios spent five years early in his career coaching the Scott girls team, but most notably he has earned his reputation coaching at Maumee Valley Country Day where he led the boys and girls teams for 10 years as the head coach and then later moved to the assistant position for another eight years. During his tenure at MVCDS, he took the boys to state and had the opportunity to coach some of the most talented players in the area. The Rossford girls as a team will need to discover an identity first. They lost four-year letter winner and two-time district qualifier Carly Hollerbach to graduation along with a few other seniors. Eight girls make up the program, but only three of them have any significant experience on the court. Rios will look to seniors Bethany Price and Ally Hope as leaders to his younger players, and so far they have stepped up to the task. Sophomores Anna Price and Ally Kozina also have some varsity experience. Amber Strzesynski, Ivy Bergstrom, Maddie Wauford, and Tabitha Rhue round out the roster. Basics will be the focus of the team throughout the season. “You can play if you can perform the basics,” said Rios. The girls are working mostly on drills to improve their footwork, gain a consistent first serve, and establish a general understanding of the game. “First, I want them to learn to play for themselves. They need to be groomed to understand the game,” said the coach. “They are improving already. We have 21 matches and all of them will gain a lot of match experience by the end of the season.” The goal is to continue to improve through the season, according to Rios and then focus on trying to get the girls to play throughout the winter. “By next year, they will be much improved, and they can then concentrate on winning matches.” For now, the girls need to have fun with a game that they can play for life and to learn to play that game at a competitive level. With Rios leading the team, these aspects will be priorities and the future looks promising for this young team. The 2015 varsity volleyball team, front row from left, Allison Dunne, Addison Murtha, Margaret Rohrs, Alyssa Edmond, Kennedy Durco, Alayna Kitzler, Max Birdsell; back row, Heather Schaller, Regan Clay, Alex Birdsell, Hailey Beyer, Amanda Jakubec and Coach Joe Durco. Girls volleyball team has high hopes this season “We want to be a team that plays with intensity,” said Head Coach Joe Durco about his 2015 Rossford varsity volleyball team. “We need to bring Rossford back to prominence like in the days when Sue Thomas coached the teams.” Durco, in his second year at the helm, started rebuilding a sense of pride in Rossford volleyball last year, a process that he only hopes perpetuates into this season. But, as usual, the Northern Buckeye Conference will be a competitive one in high school volleyball with the presence of perennial powers, Otsego and Eastwood. The Lady Bulldogs lost six players from last year’s squad to graduation, including key leaders in Karly Durco and Maggie Leahy. The team looks to fill those voids with some young players who gained significant varsity experience last year. With seven returning letter winners, the Bulldogs look promising. Back are three allleague winners in Alex Bird- sell, Regan Clay and Alayna Kitzler, all of whom are versatile and athletic. They will provide a core for the team that Durco feels puts the squad in the top three in the league. “Our strength will be our athleticism,” said Durco. “It is what will give us an edge. It will allow us to overcome adversity so that when we are down, we can attack and get back into the game.” Also returning are seniors Heather Schaller and Allison Dunne, who will provide some leadership on and off the court, and juniors Kennedy Durco and Alyssa Edmond are proven setters. New additions from the JV squad–Maxine Birdsell, Addison Murtha, and Margaret Rohrs–should all make significant contributions. Collectively, this lineup could provide a strong nucleus for the team to build for success not just for this season but for upcoming years as well. The Lady Bulldogs hope to improve upon last year’s third Schultz will be joined by senior Savannah McIntosh and juniors Emma Kieper and Shaelyn Agocs. All three bring potential and leadership to Rossford. While the team has a strong core of individuals, there is not a lot of depth. Just six girls will play this year, which is the minimum needed for a varsity squad. Sophomores Karis Cherko and Amanda Thamavongsa enter their first year of golf. Both, however, have already demonstrated some ability. “Already they seem to understand the game better than most new players, and they seem to come in with a through ACSI 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., M-F •Enrolling Infants-Kindergarten •Before/After School •Extended Preschool •Professional Staff •Christian Environment !

The Rossford girls varsity golf team has finally come of age, and now with two to three years of varsity experience behind them, they should have the talent to contend for a Northern Buckeye Conference title. Such a distinction would be the first in school history. However, Head Coach Jim Lorenzen feels that if the team continues to show the kind of improvement it has Hey Rossford!

That said, the team is already off to a strong start, winning the Bulldog Invitational and finishing second in another tournament. Both events featured strong competition from the area as well as provided a preview of the competition from the league schools. So far, the team has yet to lose to any school in the league, but Clayton believes Lake, Woodmore and Genoa could all present challenges for the young Bulldogs. Although the team is young, the coach said they are actually deeper than previous seasons and will look to players like Ben Verbosky, Drew Pinardo, and Logan Gauthier to contribute throughout the season in their first season on varsity. “The strength of our team is these kids are sponges. They want to be coached; they want to get better,” he said. The coach will use that desire to motivate the team. “Our goal is to win the league and to get out of sectionals,” said Clayton, who indicated that they will first and foremost concentrate on winning the four NBC shootouts. Because they know the NBC competition so well, he feels that they have better control of league matches, which will allow them to “focus on what’s in front of them” more than worrying about what comes later. For the future of the program, the coach wants to continue to work on building the team’s depth, and for the success of this squad, he knows that they will need to find some leadership. If that happens, the Bulldogs could be on their way to a repeat title. –Michael Krieger strong skill set,” said Lorenzen. “The four returning players have all improved each season. Our lack of depth won’t be an issue if they continue at that pace,” the coach said, adding that he is anxious to see his girls reach their potential and strive for a championship. –Michael Krieger Go Bulldogs! The 2015 boys Bulldog golf team are, front row from left, Casey Desmond, Connor Bihn, Logan Gauthier, David Schaffer; back row, Jackson Murphree, Ben Verbosky, Drew Pinardo and Alex Reitz. Experienced players lead girls golfers’ drive for NBC league title National Accreditation •Open place league finish by being a well-rounded team that plays strong defense and a much faster offense than what they have played in recent years. “We don’t want to be a stagnant volleyball team. We’re going to be moving and using our abilities 110 percent in every game,” said Durco. “We want to be the best passing team in the NBC,” he added and indicated that the team has spent time in the offseason trying to work on individual nuances of the game in order to improve as a unit. To compete for an NBC title, the team will have to focus heavily on every league contest. Durco said, “In order to keep pace with Otsego and Eastwood, we can’t have any let downs.” The team opens its season August 24 at home against Van Buren. “I encourage people to come out and watch,” the coach said. “We’re an exciting team. You should see some very good volleyball.” –Michael Krieger By Michael Krieger The 2015 Rossford varsity boys golf team opened its season at the start of August and already a few things are evident. One, the team looks to be the Northern Buckeye Conference favorite to win the championship, and two, they are young and will need some leadership as they progress through the season. Last year’s team won the program’s first league title since 1985 by winning the NBC mostly on the shoulders of Ryan Niese and Mason Robinson, the players of the year each of the two previous seasons. Both have graduated, and now the team will work to fill those spots. According to Head Coach Del Clayton, he will miss Niese and Robinson’s leadership the most. “They were outstanding leaders not only for the program but also for the school. They were really good with the young kids on the team. ”Right now, Clayton admits too much of the team’s leadership has to come from him as the coach. The squad boasts only two seniors, Alex Reitz and David Shaffer, but while these Bulldogs are young, the cupboard isn’t bare. Junior Jackson Murphree brings the most varsity experience, and he and sophomore Casey Desmond should push one another for the top spot. Both earned second team all-league honors a year ago. Junior Connor Bihn also should be solid coming off an honorable mention season last year. “Our one and two, maybe three, are as good as anyone,” said Clayton. “We need to find a consistent third and fourth to come around.” In high school varsity competition, a team plays six play- DOUG MAHOOD 419.471.2958 BRONDES FORD TOLEDO 5545 SECOR RD. @ ALEXIS shown the last two years, the girls have “an excellent chance of winning” the league. “If we improve about four to five strokes as a team each match, we should be in contention,” he said. The goal of trying to improve by shedding strokes during each match is the focus of the team’s philosophy, which is “one stroke better every ! day.” The team hopes that living their philosophy pays off. “The girls have practiced over the summer and have worked hard,” Lorenzen added. Winning the NBC is the team’s main goal and even their non-league schedule will be designed to prepare them to compete in the league. “Many of our nonleague opponents are quite good and will better prepare us for playing in the league,” said the coach. The girls opened at the Sylvania Invitational, an event that featured mostly Northern Lakes League talent and served as their best competition of the season. In addition, the team played at Maumee Bay against Cardinal Stritch on Wednesday, and they traveled to compete in the Defiance Invitational. All three matches are good early season measures of the girls’ skill level. In addition to the team’s goals, the Lady Bulldogs also have high hopes to at least get an individual out of sectionals this year. Junior Alexis Schultz is the likely candidate for this distinction. She should lead the team on the course and hopes to improve on her efforts of last year when she just missed All-League First Team by one stroke.

She spent her entire life (she is now about 6 or 7) with an elderly couple who, due to their own health issues, just could no longer care for Aisy. Now, Aisy is looking for a home where she can be loved, nurtured, and cared for once again. (Aisy would prefer a home in which she is the only dog.) Aisy also has some “special needs”: namely, she has some allergy issues that she needs to deal with several times a year. Aisy likes long walks—and gum drops (these were used as a treat by her former humans). She also is a super(-sized) lap dog, she loves to give kisses, and she is much more interested in her humans than in toys. Julien is a loner. A rebel. At least for the most part. He often prefers to fly solo, avoiding the other felines in the cat room and just going about his business. Julien would be able to cohabitate with other, calmer cats, but he would not do so well in a household with high energy cats, dogs, or small children. Aside from being a bit of a misanthrope--or, is it "catanthrope"?--Julien keeps to himself a lot and spends most of his time napping in a secluded spot. Does Julien sound like the perfect addition to your family? Come meet him today! *All of our pets have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated appropriate to their age, tested for heart worm and current on prevention in dogs, and received an initial de-worming and flea prevention; adopters also are given a free physical exam to local participating veterinary offices.

The men are on a mission to recycle America, restore forgotten relics to their former glory, and learn a thing or two about American history along the way.
