Perrysburg Area Chamber of Commerce hosts candidates ‘Pumpkin Patch Giveaway’ at Witzler-Shank noon to 2 p.m.
Downtown Perrysburg, Inc. presents OctoBOOfest Saturday
forum for mayor, city council and township trustees
By Deb Buker
Candidates seeking the
elected positions for Perrysburg mayor, city council and
township trustee had the
opportunity to express their
views on the city and township’s accomplishments,
challenges and issues at the
Perrysburg Area Chamber of
Commerce October 16 luncheon meeting.
Perrysburg Mayor
Candidates for mayor, a
four-year term, are Laura
Hummer and Michael Olmstead.
If elected, what do you
wish to accomplish during
your term?
Mr. Olmstead told the
more than 100 chamber
members and guests that
there is not one specific item
he wants to accomplish.
“I want to build on the
strong foundation that has
been laid particularly over
these past eight years,” he
said. “We are poised to
move to the next level as the
city grows from an economic development standpoint
as well as a service standpoint.
“Yet despite the high
degree of services we are
receiving now, there is
always room for improvement.”
From an economic development standpoint, Mr.
Olmstead said he wants to
make sure the city is not
complicating things for
investors and entrepreneurs
who want to come into the
community.
“We have to make sure
we are streamlined as possible and avoiding unnecessary red tape,” he added.
“We want to make sure our
tax structure stays competitive, and we are not taking
The Perrysburg Area Chamber of Commerce hosted a candidates forum last week featuring Perrysburg
mayor, city council and township trustee candidates.
From left, are Mike Olmstead and Laura Hummer, mayoral candidates; Sara Weisenburger, Joe Lawless,
Barry VanHoozen and Jim Matuszak, city council candidates, and Bob Mack, township trustee candidate.
Rick Rettig, city council candidate, and Gary Britten and Lynn Hunter, township trustee candidates, were
unable to attend the forum.
any more than needed for
our core services. I think
with that and coupled with
an outreach to the entrepreneurs and business people
who want to create the jobs
in our community, we need
to make sure that the government entity at the local
level is doing what we need
to be doing including staying out of the way.”
Mrs. Hummer agreed
there is not one particular
issue that she would like to
accomplish.
“We do have a very
strong community. We have
phenomenal services,” she
said. “I am sure that if elected, my first 100 days in
office would be to learn as
much as I can about the
inner workings of the
office.”
An issue that does need
to be addressed is water, she
stated.
“Our contract with the
City of Toledo expires in
2027. It sounds like a long
way off, but it really is not,”
added the candidate. “We do
need to work on developing
our own sustainable water
supply so we can offer water
and sewer rates that are
affordable.”
She told the group again
that city services are phenomenal and the city is very
strong.
“However, the state balances state budgets on the
backs of communities like
ours and we need to get
some of those taxes back in
our control,” said Mrs.
Hummer. “We supply city
services that are used on a
daily basis, that are provided
on a local level, but we
don’t control that funding
any more. We need to work
and get that back and control it, keep our costs down
to continue to provide the
phenomenal services that we
do have.”
Perrysburg City
Council
Candidates for three
seats on Perrysburg City
Council include incumbent
Joe
Lawless,
James
Matuszak, Rick Rettig,
Barry VanHoozen and
incumbent Sara Weisenburger.
Mr. Rettig was unable to

‘An opportunity for voters to meet and hear the candidates’
League of Women Voters of the Perrysburg Area sponsors candidates forum
By Deb Buker
More than 90 people
attended the League of
Women Voters of the Perrysburg Area Candidates Forum
on October 13 at Way Public
Library.
“This is an opportunity for
voters to meet and hear the
candidates,” said Nancy Kelley, league president. “And I
believe this is the largest
group of candidates attending
a forum in the last 20 years.”
There are 19 candidates
seeking elected offices in the
November 5 election.
Each candidate answered
three questions from the audience and gave a one minute
closing statement.
Candidates extended a
thank you to the League of
Women Voters for hosting the
forum, recognized Way
Library and foundation for
the use of the facility and
acknowledged the people
attending for their interest in
local government.
Candidate Closing
Statements
Perrysburg Board
of Education
(Three to be elected)
•Cal Smith–“I have been
proposing rolling back the tax
levy that was passed last
November. That was an
immediate 43 percent tax
increase ramping up to an 85
percent tax increase in year
four.
But it’s really not about
people unwilling to pay taxes
to support the schools– it
really is about restoring voter
confidence.
As I go around the community, people are not happy.
The choice they were given
was either vote for a $3 million tax increase ramping up
to a $6 million tax increase or
the schools will have to
absorb a $7 million reduction
in funds. Then schools would
be in chaos right now had
that levy not passed.
So I really think that is
going to be important to
restore voter confidence and
pass future levies.”
•Mark
Schoenlein
(incumbent)–“First I would
like to say thank you for 12
years of support. I do believe
you have an excellent choice
of candidates this year for
school board–very good credentials and different points
of view. It always takes some
fresh points of view.
For myself, my mom said
when we moved here in 1976
the schools weren’t too good.
Hopefully, I have been a
part in changing that.
My niece, a senior this
year, is the last family member in the school system and
it would be easy for me to
say I am done from a personal perspective.
But as Cal said, we went
from passing a PI [permanent
improvcment] levy with the
biggest margin that we ever
had to barely passing a very
large operating levy. I feel
that I need to be a part of fulfilling that responsibility of
spending that money wisely.
So that is why I am asking
for a fourth term.”
•Lara Lengel–“I am a
candidate for the board of
education because I care
deeply about our children–
ensuring that our children
continue to receive the best
quality education that will
prepare them for employment, life-long learning, ongoing education.
I came here because the
schools are great, and I want
to see them continue to be
great.
As co-owner with my
husband Scott of a small family business, as a taxpayer, as
a professional educator with
administrative and budget
management experience, I
want to be sure our public
funds are spent wisely. And
that our schools continue to
contribute to our civic life,
our social life and our economic life making Perrysburg
schools and our community
one of the most vibrant in
Ohio.”
•Susan Larimer–“For
those of you who have seen
my card, I have three words
going across the top of
them–listening, working, representing. Listening, which is
what I have tried to do in
going around the neighborhoods.
I do apologize if I haven’t
gotten to your house. Believe
me, I am trying as best as I
can. So far, I have been to
about 1,000 homes–but there
are a whole lot more to go.
One of the things that I
also believe in is that I am
working. I started working
the day I decided I was going
to run for this position.
As you can see at my
table, I have a notebook that
is very thick of things that I
have accumulated in knowledge, meetings, paraphernalia, etc., just since May. I am
tuned in and I am watching.
The best leaders are the
ones who understand that
they are to serve those that
they represent.
I need to be your servant
by listening to you and being
able to represent you. Those
are my intentions to be your
school board leader.”
•Valerie
Hovland
(incumbent)–“I want to thank
you for trusting me with your
children’s futures and your
property values over the past
eight years.
I believe the collaborative
efforts of the present board,
our superintendent, treasurer,
administrators and all staff
have worked together to
grow those same futures and
values and protect your property.
[In regards to finances] if
you are not getting a number
from the superintendent’s
office or if you don’t have a
reason why you got that number–whether it was a panel
discussion, something printed
or published from a reputable
activity or somewhere that
you know where it came
from–check it. Check it with
one of us, we will check it
with our treasurer.
The other thing that I will
say to you, I have handouts
that will tell you something
about the numbers.
I guess the last question
that you need to ask yourself
is ‘Am I still satisfied with
the district that has been
named Excellent for the last
12 years, with the higher
ACT score than the state
average, and a high school
ranking in the top 55 in
Ohio?’ If that is the case, I
would like to continue being
your servant.”
•Gretchen
Downs
(incumbent)–“I want to tell
you how much I enjoyed
being on the board, how passionate I am about public
education.
I will always work for you
to ensure that our students
have the best chance for a
great education to be ready
for the 21st century.”
•Jason Decker– “As my
bio stated, Perrysburg school
system is a big part of the
reason why my wife and I
choose to live in Perrysburg.
I do think we have a good
school system. It is why my
kids go there–they are one of
the driving forces behind my
candidacy.
But at the end of the day, I

just the overall family entertainment, we are able to
appeal to all age groups and
get the whole community

Camping World plan in Crossroads approved
The Rossford Planning
Commission gave its
approval last week to a site
plan for Camping World–an
RV sales and service company moving into the Crossroads area.
The 11-acre property,
being purchased from Bass
Pro Shops, is located on the
curve where Simmons Road
meets Sportsman’s Drive,
southwest of the Bass Pro
store.
“The timeframe of this
project has been moving
pretty quick,” said Greg
Feller of Feller, Finch and
Associates, the local engineering firm for the business.
Camping World is the
nation’s largest direct marketer and specialty retailer of
recreational vehicles and
outdoor camping accessories
and services.
The first store in the
chain was established in
Bowling Green, Kentucky, in
1966. It now has more than
100 locations, including one
in Akron, Ohio.
The new Rossford business is estimated to create 50
to 60 jobs.
Siren Partners of Deerfield, Illinois, is the developer for the project.
Siren president Kimberly
Penfold described the store
as “a destination business for
RV enthusiasts, who often
plan routes to include CW
store locations.”

Chief Jim Verbosky had

Perrysburg Area Chamber of Commerce hosts candidates forum
If elected, what do you
wish to accomplish during
your term?
Mr. Matuszak said he
has not served on council
and is not familiar with the
inner workings of the city
but during the past months
has made every effort to
meet with city staff to learn
the details.
“I have made the effort to
meet with various people
about city government and
department heads asking
them to explain to me what
are their concerns, what do
they do, what they need help
with,” he said. “It really
wasn’t for me to go and
meet with them and tell
them what I think or what I
am going to change. If I get
on council I will learn the
ropes, learn how things are
done before I start voicing
my concerns.”
He stated that over his
term, if elected, he would
make himself very accessible to the public and businesses in the city.
“Often times I think the
public and businesses in
town are not engaged and involved in the process of deliberation with the decisions
made by council,” said Mr.
Matuszak.
Mr. VanHoozen explained that when he was
elected to the board of education 12 years ago, he was
facing the closing of the
Commodore building as a
school, which was right after
the building of the high
school, which he described
as tumultuous.
“Those were some difficult times,” he said. “When I
look at the city situation, I
think it is well run and I
don’t think there will be
those kinds challenges that
we had back 12 years ago.”
One issue Mr. VanHoozen said he would look
into is State Route 199 for
safety and security.
“There is a stalemate
going on out there for a variety of issues and I don’t see
that moving forward– including the sewer,” said the
candidate. “It primarily is
an issue where Scheider
Road meets with Eckel
Junction. And then recently
the state came in and said
we have an issue with
Roachton Road and SR 199.
There is a stalemate going
on out there and I am not
sure why, but it is creating
unbalanced growth, it’s creating all kinds of issues with
safety and security. So that
is something I want to look
into. But beyond that, this is
a well-run city and I look
forward to helping it move
forward.”
Mrs. Weisenburger also
stated there is no immediately change she would
make in the city.
“I am currently looking
and will continue to look at
the budget,” she said. “I have
looked at it line by line, have
it in Excel, have it highlighted and I think the goal
of doing all that is not to be
nitpicky and cut everyone’s
budget or demand changes.
My goal is to budget more
conservatively and budget

with less buffer– not for the
sake of not having a plan in
case of emergencies. The
city has been developing a
reserve fund, and I think we
should continue upon that
and get it funded to its maximum and then have a serious discussion and plan for
reducing taxes. I think it
would be very possible, and I
think that is something that I
would like to be a part of
planning and helping for.”
The candidate added that
the riverfront is a big issue
and believes it will be a great
addition to the city “as long
as we plan it slowly, plan it
properly.”
Mr. Lawless wants to
keep things moving in the
right direction.
“Our government has become much more user
friendly than it was 16 years
ago,” he told chamber members and guests. “When I
was first elected, we had $10
million of general fund debt
and last year we didn’t have
any and at the end of this
year we won’t have any.”
The council president
stated that city parks and
recreational programs have
been greatly improved in 16
years.
“For those of you who
don’t remember, Hood Park
used to be a gravel parking
lot, Municipal Park was an
embarrassment and now they
are both extremely nice,” he
added. “Rivercrest Park has
been fixed up and is in great
shape. There was a consolidated effort between the Rotary and the City of
Perrysburg on Rotary Park
and that is something I am
very proud of and certainly
would like to keep moving
that way.”
The councilman believes
the city needs to look at consolidating services with
neighboring communities to
cut prices and cut costs to
city taxpayers.
“The water problem is
definitely a big problem. We
were working on that pretty
hard for a few years, and we
have gotten away from it and
we have to get back on it,” he
said. “We buy water from
Toledo and we have no control over what they charge
us.”
***************
As mayor, what do you
believe your responsibilities
will be in leading the Perrysburg community?
The mayor is the chief
executive officer of the city
and is responsible for everything, stated Mrs. Hummer.
“I see the mayor as the
point person for quality of
life issues–the services we
have in town, promoting our
parks and our recreation,”
she said. “It goes beyond the
budget. The mayor is the
person to keep the residents
informed with good communication and involved in the
community.”
Mr. Olmstead believes
as chief executive officer of
the city, the mayor needs to
set the culture of how the
city operates internally and
then help with the culture out
in the community itself.
“And by that, the mayor
is going to be a listener,” he
explained. “There is as
much listening that goes on,
just like in council you listen
as much if not more than
you speak. You are listening
to the people you are working for and you truly
are–you are working for the
public. That is an important
component.”
The mayor is the face of
the community, said the twoterm councilman.
“The mayor is responsible to make sure that he or
she is responding to commu-

the infrastructure is there to
help serve them.”
He also stated that there
are some traffic issues which
need to be addressed including Williams Road and State
Route 25, and Eckel Junction and SR 199.
“The Williams Road
issue is in the proposed
budget for next year. Plans
are to extend Jefferson Street
all the way through Perrysburg Heights and past the development there,” said Mr.
Lawless. “The 199 and Eckel
Junction area was in the city
budget five or six years ago.
Plans were to end Eckel
Junction Road at 199 and
make that a cul-de-sac. That
hasn’t happened because
Carronade Drive–which is
supposed to go through to
199 in the long range plan,
has not happened. This
year’s study has a traffic circle at Carronade and Eckel
Junction which will help a
little bit to elevate that problem. But long term, that
whole intersection at Eckel
Junction and 199 will be
fixed.”
Mr. Matuszak believes
the city is run well.
“The workers do a fantastic job–it is not broke,” he
said. “One of the things we
want to preserve is the heritage of the city. A lot of people are moving into the city
from other cities because it is
a great city to live in. We
have to make sure to preserve our heritage–the small
town that we are.”
He said economic growth
is good only if it is right for
the community.
“What I don’t want to see
is economic growth because
it fills the city budget,”
added the candidate. “I am
for economic development
but not for the sake of growing government, and we
have to be careful that we
don’t offer too many incentives to new businesses.
What I would like to do is be
the go between the businesses and the people in the
city– a marketing function.”
*************
Mayor candidates: What
do you feel are the issues
with the Riverfront plan and
how will you proceed during
your term of office?
Mr. Olmstead–“Since
that story broke that is the
most common question I
have received going door-todoor from people,” he said.
“I can sum it up pretty simply–no, we don’t have $25 or
$26 million today to spend
on the riverfront.
“What council just did–
and I voted yes on was to
start the process in phases–
and phase one was the development of the multi- use
path. The path will extend
from Hood Park to the
bridge to allow a continuous
connection point from downtown to Fort Meigs and back
without ever having to go
across the street. That easement and that path already
exist now, and we just simply clean that up a little bit
and make it a bit more accessible. That is a logical
first step and is something
really popular expressed to
me.
“Regarding the other
components, it will take a lot
of additional involvement of
the community before we
would ever move forward
with some of these other
components of the plan.”
Mrs. Hummer– “I can’t
think of anything I disagree
with what Mike just said.
There is not $26 million sitting around that has nothing
to do. Any time we build
something and spend money
on something we have to
make sure what we are get-
If your walls
could talk, they’d
thank you.
Remember to
November 5
nity requests, is helping to
put forward the community’s agenda to those organizations and entities that
we do business with,” he
added. “So overall, it is a
cultural thing where we
need to make sure we are
working the way we need to
be working internally, and
the mayor is the point person, the collaborator and the
consensus builder. I think
those are two really key
components to leading any
organization, particularly a
diverse city like we have
here.”
************
City council candidates:
What are the issues you see
facing the city?
Mr. VanHoozen–“The
unbalanced growth that we
are experiencing on SR 199
and all the problems that
come with that,” he reiterated. “I also will bring up
the question of sewers and
the financing we are looking
at and the expense that we
are going to be incurring on
the wastewater treatment
plant. I trust the current
councilmen and the city has
done their research, and that
$14 million is a lot of money
and what will that commit us
to in the future in terms of
expansion?
“That is some homework
I will have to do but that is a
tremendous amount of
money to be investing in infrastructure. And then what
will it require us to do later
as a follow up?”
Mr. VanHoozen said
water is an issue and needs
to be addressed.
He also believes he can
assist in developing more
collaboration between the
city and schools.
“ I would also work with
the township,” said Mr. VanHoozen. “Government needs
to think in a regional way especially with the costs we
are experiencing with infrastructure which is a known
subscriber of the cost of living.”
Mrs. Weisenburger definitely believes water and
sewer is an issue.
“Toledo has a video on
their Web site showing us
how terrible their facilities
are–they are rough over there
and need some updates,” she
said. “We get their water
from there and it is a huge
concern for us. I don’t know
the answers on how to solve
that at this point, but it certainly is a discussion that we
are going to have to stay on
top of and pretty soon too.”
Another concern for the
councilwoman is the amount
of development in the city.
“It is great that people are
building new houses in Perrysburg but we are not properly planning on how that
affects the schools,” she said.
“Our elementary schools are
overcrowded–we are going
to need a new school. And
we keep developing and we
are not planning on how we
are going to get a new school
built.
“So the city should work
with the schools a little bit
more and hopefully get some
plan figured out.”
She also added the Riverfront will be a hot button
item for many years to come.
“Hopefully we can plan
that out and execute it in a
good manner,” said the councilwoman.
Mr. Lawless believes infrastructure is very important.
“We have to maintain a
quality infrastructure to
allow for growth in the city,”
he said. “It is our responsibility that new residential or
new commercial growth is
quality development and that
he said.
“We’d like to have
greater equalization of water
rates for our township residents,” he added.
An access management
plan for improving roads
and connections among
business development also is
needed.
Mr. Mack said the township recently completed a
comprehensive master plan
and heard from residents
about the need for a park.
The township has operated the ball park at Fire Station No. 2 on Fort Meigs
Road, but their work is limited due to pending annexation in that area.
“It’s time for the township to do something in the
epicenter of the township,”
he said.
With their recent purchase of the old Lime City
School, he would like to see
that area offer recreation opportunities for residents.
“That presents a nice opportunity for us,” he added.
What have you accomplished in office to date?
Mr. Mack said the comprehensive master plan was
completed with much input
from township residents.
“It took a couple years to
do,” he said, “and it’s kind
of our development ‘bible,’
if you will.”
The plan preserves areas
for agriculture, establishes
space for low, medium and
high density residential, and
defines the commercial and
industrial corridors.
“Like any community,
growing pains can be one of
those sensitive topics,” he
said, but the plan helps to
prepare the township for the
future.
The intersection of State
Route 199 with Eckel Junction Road to the east and
Scheider Road to the west
does not have a traffic light
and sees a lot of activity
each day. What would you
do to solve the problem?
Mr. Mack said the
trustees have been dealing
with this problem for more
than 10 years.
The plan was for Carronade to eventually extend
out of the housing subdivision at Route 199 with dedicated turn lanes added.
The Ohio Department of
Transportation and the subdivision developer approve
of the plan, but it has been
delayed because all the lots
in the subdivision have yet
to be sold.
And then “in an ideal
world,” he said, Scheider
would be re-routed south so
it squarely meets Carronade
at Route 199.
However, Mr. Mack said
that the Perrysburg School
District owns the soccer
field property west of Route
199, and the trustees agreed
not to require the district to
alter its property without approval by the board of education.
Election day is Tuesday,
November 5.

“The pathway does need
to be continued on and go
forth. There is still a water
treatment plant right in the
middle of this plan. That has
to be addressed before any
additional park features can
be addressed. Nobody wants
to sit and have lunch next to
the sewer plant–we can talk
about prevailing winds all
you want but that is something Mother Nature controls.
“There are pieces of the
plan that are really great
ideas. People spent some

we are not spending money
that we don’t have–spending
money that we can’t afford

Perrysburg Township
Trustee
Candidates for the two
open seats are incumbents
Bob Mack and Gary Britten
and challenger Lynn Hunter.
Mr. Britten and Mrs.
Hunter were unable to attend the forum.
Why are you running for
office?
Mr. Mack noted that
since he was elected in
2001, he has served in many
areas of the community, including as a board member
of the Perrysburg Area
Chamber of Commerce,
Wood County Economic
Development Commission,
TMACOG, Rossford Transportation Improvement District,
St.
Timothy’s
Episcopal Church and Perrysburg Rotary.
“I’ve developed a lot of
skill sets that work well in
the political arena,” he said.
He credited the township
department heads and employees, along with his fellow trustees Mr. Britten and
Craig LaHote and Fiscal Officer Shirley Haar for the
township’s current prosperity.
“It’s been an honor to
serve,” Mr. Mack said. “I’m
proud to be part of the team
we’ve assembled over 12
years.”
If re-elected, what do you
wish to accomplish?
Mr. Mack noted that the
trustees keep a checklist of
projects on the township hall
bulletin board, along with
the slogan, “Just Do It.”
“We like to check those
things off our list, but there
are some things which remain on that list,” he said.
Among those are water
and sewer rates.
“It’s even more of a problem in the township [than
the city] because of the surcharges, especially for
sewage but also on water,”

PHS grad wins big on ‘Millionaire’ TV game show
A 1978 Perrysburg High
School graduate recently was
a big winner on “America’s
richest game show.”
Tracey Launder, who now
lives in Rossford, appeared
last week as a contestant on
the TV game show “Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire.”
Ms. Launder made it all
the way to the $250,000
question, but decided to not
take a guess and walk away
with the $100,000 she already
had won.
The question was: After a
1958 mid-air collision, an Air
Force bomber was forced to
drop a still-missing 7,600pound nuclear bomb somewhere off the coast of what
state?
A: Georgia
B: California
C: Texas
D: Maine
Out of lifelines and unsure
of the answer, she decided
not to take a guess and walk
away with her entire accumulated Millionaire Bank, which
had risen to $100,000. If she
had guessed incorrectly, she
would have fallen back to
$25,000 in winnings. (The
correct answer was “A.”)
Ms. Launder, 53, auditioned for “Millionaire” this
past summer when producers
came to the Detroit area for a
contestant search.
She is the daughter of Ken
and Jan Giaimo of Rossford.
Mrs. Giaimo came to New
York City with her and sat in
the Millionaire audience as
her on-air companion for the
show.
Ms. Launder has two adult
children, Tara and Ryan, and
four grandchildren.
She currently is unemployed and said that she
hoped to buy a house if she
won big on “Millionaire.”
“Millionaire” features
stand-up comedian and actor
Cedric “The Entertainer” who
debuted in September as the
new show host.
A comedian with widespread appeal, Cedric is best
known for his “Kings of
Comedy” tour with Steve
Harvey, the late Bernie Mac,
and D.L. Hughley, which led
to the hit film “The Original
Kings of Comedy.”
Cedric currently stars in
and produces TV Land’s sitcom “The Soul Man” and
was featured in Disney’s animated film “Planes” this fall.
“Millionaire” continues to
be the only game show to
offer a $1 million prize to
each and every contestant.
Contestants from all over
the country try to answer 14
trivia questions that reveal
fun and entertaining facts.
The game show is in its
Above, Ms. Launder is congratulated by Cedric the
Entertainer, the show host, and below she prepares to
answer one of the trivia questions.
12th season in national syndication. Since it debuted in
2002, contestants have won
more than $80 million.
In the Toledo area
episodes of “Millionaire” air
on WNWO TV 24, weekdays
at 3 and 3:30 p.m.

Perrysburg Schools focus on bus safety
Perrysburg Schools joins
districts and transporting
agencies throughout Ohio
and the nation in celebrating the importance of
National School Bus Safety
Week October 21-25.
This year ’s theme,
“Stand Back from the Yellow and Black!” reminds
students to be cautious any
time they must cross the
street. Students need to
cross where they can be
seen by the bus driver and
also need to watch for traffic. The greatest risk to
children is when they are
outside the school bus. Student injuries and fatalities
occur as a result of
motorists who attempt to
pass a stopped school bus
with flashing red warning
lights while students load
or unload.
During the 2012-13
school year, Perrysburg’s
school buses travelled
356,580 miles, safely transporting 2,686 students each
day.
Nearly one million Ohio
students ride on school
buses each day and more
than 15,000 bus drivers are
dedicated to providing safe
transportation for children
in the state. National studies show school buses are
the safest method for transporting young people–up to
22 times safer than passenger cars.
“Ensuring the safety of
students as they enter and
exit the bus is crucial,” said
Transportation Supervisor
Ellen Moser. “We are training our bus drivers to be
cautious, but we need help
from parents to make sure
they watch for school buses
stopped to load and unload
children. No issue is so
urgent that motorists cannot
wait for a school bus.”
Ohio Revised Code
4511.75 requires motorists
to stop for a school bus
anytime it has stopped to
load or unload. In Ohio,
those buses will display red
flashing lights as well as a
stop sign on the side of the
bus. Motorists may not
resume motion until the
school bus has resumed
motion. Bus drivers in Ohio
are required to file reports
with law enforcement when
motorists pass them. In
some communities, cameras are being used to facilitate this reporting.
Important guidelines for
students and parents:
•Students should arrive
at the bus stop at least five
minutes before the bus is
scheduled.
•Students should wait in
a location clear of traffic
and away from where the
bus stops.
•Students should go
directly to their assigned
seat so the bus can safely
continue.
•Students must remain
seated, keeping aisles and
exits clear.
•Students must observe
classroom conduct and
obey the driver.
•Students must not
throw or pass objects on,
from or into the bus.
•Students may only
carry items on the bus that
can be held in their laps.
•Students must board
and depart the bus at locations to which they have
been assigned unless a note
has been signed by their
parent and building principal for authorization to do
otherwise.
•Parents of students
being transported by a Perrysburg School bus should
expect their child to arrive
home anytime after dismissal at their respective
school.
•Parents are responsible
for their student’s safety
while waiting for the bus to
arrive.
The Perrysburg bus drivers have a combined 211
years of experience with
Perrysburg Schools.
Perrysburg Animal Control Officer Jeff Studer has a variety of cats and kittens available for adoption. The
felines are being housed and cared for by the staff at South Suburban Animal Hospital in Levis Commons. All
the kittens and cats have been tested for feline leukemia, and the animal hospital offers free shots and spaying/neutering. Anyone interested in adoption can contact Officer Studer at 419-872-8001 or South Suburban

Division and the Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) will hold a drug
take-back on Saturday, October 26, from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m.
The program offers area
residents an opportunity to
prevent pill abuse and theft
by ridding their homes of
potentially dangerous, expired, unused and unwanted
prescription drugs.
Medications for disposal
can be taken to the Perrysburg Police Division at 330
Walnut Street, Perrysburg.
The service is free and
anonymous; no questions
will be asked.
Last April, Americans
turned in 371 tons (more
than 742,000 pounds) of
prescription drugs at more
than 5,800 sites operated by
the DEA and its thousands
of state and local law enforcement partners.
In its six previous Take
Back events, DEA and its
partners took in more than
2.8 million pounds, more
than 1,400 tons of pills.
This initiative addresses
a vital public safety and
public health issue. Medicines that languish in home
cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and
abuse.
Rates of prescription
drug abuse in the United
States are alarmingly high,
as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.
Studies show that a majority
of abused prescription drugs
are obtained from family
and friends, including from
the home medicine cabinet.
In addition, Americans
are now advised that their
usual methods for disposing
of unused medicines, flushing them down the toilet or
throwing them in the trash,
both pose potential safety
and health hazards.
DEA is in the process of
approving new regulations
that implement the Safe and
Responsible Drug Disposal
Act of 2010, which amends
the Controlled Substances
Act to allow an “ultimate
user” (that is, a patient or pet
or their family member or
owner) of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering
them to entities authorized
by the Attorney General to
accept them.
The Act also allows the
Attorney General to authorize long term care facilities
to dispose of their residents’
controlled substances in certain instances.

Replacement Refuse Levy
on Ballot in November, 2013
Perrysburg City Council voted on June 4, 2013, to place a two year, one mill replacement refuse collection levy on the November ballot. Voters have approved
the levy every year since 1987. The refuse levy helps fund the weekly refuse and
recycling curbside collection.
Dave Creps, city finance director, said he anticipates the new levy will generate income of $580,000. The 2014 budget for Refuse and Recycling collection is
$1,154,822.00 with the balance being paid from the General Fund and through
service charges and grants.
Last year, residents recycled a total of 1,320.95 tons using the red curbside recycling bins. The city avoided $55,602 in landfill disposal fees. Automated refuse
and recycling was implemented in April of 2013. To date, 24% of household waste
is being recycled curbside which equates to an average of 50 tons less monthly
residential waste going to the landfill. This represents an increase of 6% total volume in recycling. Perrysburg residents have responded as expected and shown that
there is a great deal of consideration being given to our environment by optimizing the recycling of reusable waste products.
City residents have year round access to unlimited weekly refuse collection, City
Compost Site, curbside spring brush, fall leaf and Christmas tree recycling collection. Curbside recycling is offered weekly with opportunities for drop off recycling of cardboard and a special recycling event for household hazardous waste
(HHW) in the spring of each year. Items that will not fit in the Toters must be
placed two (2) feet or more away from the Toter and the unlimited truck will pick
it up. These items include but are not limited to televisions, furniture, carpet and
mattresses. Appliances and tires are collected by special pick up.
City crews do not collect yard waste or construction debris. Yard waste cannot be
mixed with household refuse in the garbage truck because it must be composted.
Residents have the option to use the Pay-As-You-Throw yard waste program for
disposal. The City also maintains a Class IV Compost Facility off Green Lane that
is available to residents all year. Please call the Department of Public Service at
419-872-8020 to learn more about this program.
Perrysburg residents have come to expect the superior services the City provides.
We appreciate our citizens’ cooperation during and following the transition to automated service. We will strive to continue to operate as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. We do this by finding the right mixture of manpower and
technology that will serve our needs now and in the future.

Jackets crush Northview 55-10, remain perfect in NLL
By Scott Buker
Execution was at a high
level on both sides of the
ball for the Perrysburg High
School varsity football team
last Friday night as they remained perfect in the Northern Lakes League with a
55-10 victory against the
Northview Wildcats at
Northview High School.
Perrysburg scored touchdowns on seven of their
eight first half possessions
to build a commanding 48-0
lead at halftime.
Their lone possession
that did not result in a score
occurred in the final seconds
of the half, trying to wear
down the clock.
The Jackets produced
494 yards of total offense
while the defense limited the
Wildcat offense to just 120
yards of total offense.
Perrysburg’s
defense
held Northview to 19 total
yards in the first half (-24
yards rushing and 33 passing).
Perrysburg improves to
6-2 overall and 5-0 in the
league with two remaining
games. Northview dropped
to 2-6 overall and 1-4 in the
NLL.
The Jackets set the tone
early. On their first offensive
possession the Jackets easily
marched 80 yards in four
plays over the game’s first
four minutes resulting in a
17-yard touchdown run
from junior quarterback Gus
Dimmerling.
After a quick three and
out from Northview, Perrysburg made easy work for another score, this one on a
scoring pass from Dimmerling to junior teammate
Scott Freeman for 16 yards.
An onside kick from
Freeman gave Perrysburg
the ball right back and
shortly after junior receiver
Seth Durham took an end
around six-yards for the
Jacket third touchdown of
the night with 4:39 to play in
the opening quarter.
Perrysburg’s defense, led
by linebackers Chaz Westfall and Mark Delas, forced
a Northview turnover deep
inside their own territory.
One play later, Jacket sophomore quarterback Trevor
Hafner connected with senior tight end Zach Warner on
a 27-yard scoring strike,
Warner’s first of the year,
giving Perrysburg a 28-0
lead at the end of the first
quarter.
On the very first play of
the second quarter Mark
Delas, Perrysburg’s senior
running back, broke lose on
a 20-yard touchdown run,
upping the Jacket lead to 350.
The Jacket defense once
again gave Perrysburg a
short field.
Perrysburg forced another turnover giving the
Jackets the ball on the Wildcat 25-yard line and shortly
after Dimmerling found
Warner for his second touchdown of the night, this one
coming from three yards
out.
The next Jacket possession ended with Durham
notching his second touch-
down, this one from a fiveyard pass from Dimmerling
with 6:29 to play in the half,
mounting the Jacket lead to
48-0.
Sophomore
receiver
Zach Honsberger notched
the only Perrysburg score in
the second half, occurring at
the 5:43 mark in the third
quarter on a 16-yard touchdown run making the score
55-7.
Northview’s only touchdown was defensive when
Tyler Wynn returned a fumble 33-yards for the score at
the 8:47 mark in the third
quarter.
The Wildcats would add
a 41-yard Ross Hanna field
goal with 8:35 to play in the
game, making the final score
55-10.
Freeman, Perrysburg’s
starting slot receiver, was
the catalyst for the Jacket offense. The receiver’s 47yard pass play on the team’s
opening possession set the
tone.
Freeman led the team
with three catches for 81
yards and a score and also
had three rushes for 55 yards
including a 45-yarder.
The junior also was
seven of eight on extra
points and barely missed out
on what would have been a
school record 52-yard field
goal.
The newly formed quarterback duo of Dimmerling
and Hafner combined for 12
of 15 passing for 209 yards
and four touchdowns (Dimmerling was 7 of 10 for 112
and three touchdowns,
Hafner was 5 of 5 for 97
yards and one touchdown).
Leading the way on
ground was Delas, who
rushed for 70 yards on five
attempts and one score.
Freeman chipped in his 55

The JV girls ran in their
last competition on Saturday
at the District Girls Open
race. By the time these girls
ran, the course was a muddy
mess. This didn’t stop them
from racing well. Reddick
won the race in 20:25 and
Kloster followed her in 20:26.
A pack of six girls race
well together and they were:
Baum, 21:06; Smith, 21:07;

‘Rumors’ to open PHS theatre season November 8-10
Perrysburg High School’s 2013-14 season starts off
with the Neil Simon farce, “Rumors.” All are invited to join director Rob Gentry along with assistant director Deb Drew, and the Perrysburg High School
cast and crew, in a delightful presentation of a play that
looks at the problems friends can get into when protecting
their reputations.
Comic complications unfold during a dinner party with
several affluent couples celebrating the hosts’ tenth anniversary only to discover there are no servants, the hostess is missing and the host has shot himself in the ear.
“It is not a physical comedy, but there are a lot of oneliners,” said Mr. Gentry.
There will be three performances at the Perrysburg
High School Auditorium. Evening performances are set for
Friday and Saturday, November 8 and 9, at 8 p.m. A matinee performance is scheduled for Sunday, November 10,
at 2 p.m.

Boys cross country team takes
second at NLL, advances to regionals
The Perrysburg High
School boys cross country
team faced disappointment at
the Northern Lakes League
championships for the fourth
straight season–once again
finishing runner up and unable
to clinch the title that has
eluded them since 1979.
Despite 11 straight titles,
defending
champion
Northview was a nonfactor in
fifth place. Rather, it was the
Springfield Blue Devils who
shocked and impressed by
putting four runners under 17
minutes to better the Jackets
by 30 points.
Senior Andrew Bayes led
his team once more with a runner-up finish in 16:24.
Immediately following
was senior Parker Calvin, who
pulled out a 16:43 personal
best performance to move to
fourth on the all time Perrysburg performance list.
Juniors Anthony Gloriso,
Hunter Frydenlund and Clayton Shook also established
personal best times.
With four out of seven personal bests on the varsity roster, the Jackets rose to the
occasion but were unable to
match the Blue Devils.
In the open race, junior
Hatcher McManus led the Perrysburg junior varsity with an
impressive 18:32 performance, a personal best by more
than 30 seconds that earned
him a varsity letter.
Junior Joe Faehnle continued a strong 2013 campaign
with an 18:38 personal best,
followed by Joe Sonenson in
18:42 and Robert Shank in
18:51; the latter a personal
best.
Sophomore Kevin Billmaier and junior Roland McCarthy made noble efforts for
the 19:00 barrier, but came up
just shy at 19:03 and 19:06, respectively.
Among other notable performances in the race was that
of junior Bradley Wilson, who
pulled over a minute of his
personal best in a 21:13 clocking.
Despite the disappointment
at NLL’s, the Jackets enter the
state tournament remaining in
the hunt for a berth at the state
meet in November.
Team Advances
to Regional Competition
On a cold and rainy Saturday, the Yellow Jackets of Perrysburg embraced the weather
and ran strong to place third in
the district and advancing to
the regional next weekend for
the fourth straight season for a
senior loaded team.
The boys scored 100
points, three shy of Central
Catholic with 97 points for
runner-up and Ashland with
44 points.
Senior Andrew Bayes,
who has led the team the entire season, placed sixth overall on a sloppy, muddy course
in 16:51.
Seniors Parker Calvin
(17:09) and Bobby Borger
(17.13) worked together to finish 16th and 19th, respectively.
Junior Hunter Frydenlund ran
a personal best on the season,
hitting the tape in 17:29 for the
fourth man on the team. Anthony Glorisso ran fifth, placing 32nd overall in a time of
17:34 to round out the scorers.
Other varsity runners included
Matt Studer (17:59) and Clay-
Mailbox Check
Now is the time to check your mailbox to ensure that it
will withstand the winter snows. The City of Perrysburg will not repair any mailboxes which are damaged as a result of snow and/or ice or
any other object dispersed by the
snowplow. It is the homeowner’s
responsibility to maintain a mailbox to
withstand the rigors of a winter of
snow. Mailboxes should not overhang any curb nor pavement surfaces used as part of the travel
lanes. The City will only replace/repair mailboxes that
are actually hit by the snowplow but will not repair any mailboxes which overhang
the curb or edge of pavement.
ton Shook (18:41)
In the open race, Roland
McCarthy and Joe Soneson
battled the entire 3.1 miles
both running 19:23. Eric Billmaier and Tim Wagner finished just a bit over 20
minutes in 20:05, followed by
Dominic Horvat (21:11),
Michael Keptner (21:37), Lee
Odegaard (21:53), Alex Leong
(22:28) and Mike VanBelle
(23:14). Soneson, Keptner
and VanBelle were seniors
running their final race of the
career.
The varsity race will be run
at Tiffin Hedges Boyer Park in
Tiffin on Saturday at 3 p.m.
The top four teams and the top
16 individuals not on an advancing team will move into
the state competition the following week.

Area residents invited to view St. John’s Bible at All Saints Way Public Library hosting events
An exhibit of a rare
Bible–the likes of which has
not been seen in a thousand
years–is on display now at
All Saints Catholic Church
in Rossford.
Area residents are invited
to view the St. John’s Bible–
the first commissioned
handwritten,
illuminated
Bible in the modern era.
The words of Scripture
are written in calligraphy on
1,150 pages alongside 160
illuminations–or pieces of
artwork–divided into seven
volumes.
Father Kent Kaufman,
pastor of All Saints Church,
arranged for an exhibit featuring 10 reproduction prints
to come to the parish.
The prints feature vibrant
colors and striking images,
telling Bible stories from the
Ten Commandments to the
genealogy of Christ, from
the story of Creation to the
Book of Revelation.
The contemporary Bible
was created by a group of 23
scribes, artists and assistants
in a scriptorium in Wales
under the artistic direction
of Donald Jackson.
Mr. Jackson, a calligrapher, is the official scribe to
Queen Elizabeth and is
known as “the queen’s
hand.”
His team worked in conjunction with a committee of
theologians, scholars and
artists from St. John’s Abbey
and University in Collegeville, Minnesota.
Their work started in
1998 and was completed in
The illuminations–or pieces of artwork–depict stories from the Bible such as the Ten
Commandments, the Prodigal Son and the genealogy of Christ. Many scenes from nature
also are illuminated in the pages.
2011, with a permanent
home now at St. John’s at
the Hill Museum and Manuscript Library.
Fr. Kaufman had the opportunity last summer to
view the illuminated Bible
on a trip to St. John’s in
Minnesota.
He explained that before
the new millennium began,
the monks at St. John’s were
searching for a special project.
“They were asking,
‘What can we give to the
people of the future?’ ‘What
can we leave behind that
will have an impact?’”
Fr. Kaufman traveled to
the Ecumenical Cultural Research Institute at St. John’s
as part of his work as the
chairman of the ecumenical
and interliturgical affairs
commission for the Catholic
Diocese of Toledo.
“This word of God we
share as Christians can really draw us together as
one,” he said.
He has invited other local
churches to bring their
members to All Saints to
view the pages and discuss
the Scripture.
“We will spend time in
reflection and learn something from each other,” he
added.
In the style of a medieval
manuscript, it was written
on vellum using quills, natural handmade inks, handground pigments and gold
leaf.
It took about one day’s
work–between seven and 13
hours–to write a single page.
The Bible uses the modern English translation, the
New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), which is a
common translation among
many Christian churches.
The prints displayed at
All Saints showcase a small
sampling of the 160 illuminations in the original work.
The illuminations are
theological and symbolic focused on stories of the Bible.
Parishioner Diane Reckley, who has helped to coordinate the exhibit, said each
illumination contains many
layers of meaning.
“What has captivated me
the most is the living word
of God continues to inspire
and resonate,” she explained.
“And I was no more
clearly made of aware of
this than by going through
these pages. It really makes
it come alive.”
The exhibit is on display
now through November 17
at the church, 628 Lime City
Road.
Visitors can view the illuminations on their own during office hours, Monday to
Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It
also remains open for one
hour following all weekend
Masses.
On Sunday, November 3,
the exhibit will remain open
until 4 p.m., and the BBC
documentary, “The Illuminator” will be shown followed by a guided tour. Area
residents are invited to attend at no charge.
A conference room at the
church has been converted
into a gift shop, and visitors
may purchase books, prints,
notecards and DVDs related
to the St. John’s Bible.
Local churches are welcome to bring groups and
can schedule a tour by calling the church office at 419666-1393.

Wood County Sheriff
Mark Wasylyshyn reminds
all drivers that November is
the highest month for vehicle
/deer crashes.
“In 2012 we handled a
total of 204 vehicle/deer
crashes. In just November of
2012 we handled 39
crashes,” said the sheriff,
adding, “To date we have
handled 132 vehicle/deer
crashes, including eight this
month.”
According to the Insurance Forum Institute the average cost per insurance
claim for collision damage is
$2,800, with costs varying
depending on the type of vehicle and severity of damage.
Factoring in auto claims involving bodily injury, and
the average rises to $10,000.
Sheriff Wasylyshyn recommends the following defensive driving tips to avoid
hitting a deer:
•Be especially attentive
from sunset to midnight and
during the hours shortly before and after sunrise. These
are the highest risk times for
deer-vehicle collisions.
•Drive with caution when
moving through deer-crossing zones, in areas known to
have a large deer population
and in areas where roads divide agricultural fields from
forestland. Deer seldom run
alone. If there is one deer,
others may be nearby.
•When driving at night,
use high beam headlights
when there is no oncoming
traffic. The high beams better illuminate the eyes of
deer on or near the roadway.
•Brake firmly when a
deer is in your path, but stay
in your lane. Many serious
crashes occur when drivers
swerve to avoid a deer and
hit another vehicle or lose
control of their cars.
•Always wear seat belts.
Most people injured in
car/deer crashes were not
properly restrained.
•Do not rely on devices
such as deer whistles, deer
fences and reflectors to deter
deer. These devices have not
been proven to reduce deervehicle collisions.
“If your vehicle strikes a
deer, do not touch the animal. A frightened and
wounded deer can hurt you
or further injure itself,” said
the sheriff. “The best procedure is to get your car off the
road, if possible, and call 91-1.”
Sheriff Wasylyshyn reminds motorists to contact
their insurance agent or
company representative to
report any damage to their
vehicle. Collision with an
animal is covered under the
comprehensive portion of
your auto insurance policy.

Wood County Safe Communities
announces Halloween Mobilization Halloween parade set for Sunday
Wood County Safe Communities has announced that
the Halloween National Mobilization will run from October 25 through November
1.
The program focuses on
the safety benefits of using
the correct car seat for children.
Car seats and seat belts
help keep adults and children
in their seats during a crash.
In a crash, passengers fare
better if they stay in the right
position so their vehicle’s
safety systems can work as
intended.
Of those children under
age 15 who died in motor vehicle crashes in 2011, four in
10 were unrestrained at the
time of the crashes. Unrestrained children are more
likely to be ejected from vehicles during crashes, and
children who are ejected are
less likely to survive a crash.
Adult seat belts do not fit
children correctly. Children
need extra occupant protection specially designed for
their size and age to provide
the best safety in a vehicle.
Children under age 1 must
always ride in the back seat in
a rear-facing car seat. Once
the child outgrows the rearfacing car seat, he or she is
ready to travel in a forwardfacing car seat with a harness
–still in the back seat.
Children must be kept in a
forward-facing car seat with a
harness until he or she
reaches the top height or
weight limit allowed by the
car seat’s manufacturer. Then
it is time to travel in a booster
seat–still in the back seat.
A child must ride in a
booster seat until he or she is
big enough to fit in a seat belt
properly. A proper fit means
the lap portion is snug across
the upper thighs and the
shoulder portion crosses the
chest. The back seat is the
safest place.

Seat.

A canned food drive will
be held this Sunday, October
27 along the Rossford Halloween parade route.
Lutheran Church of the
Master will have a truck with
a flat-bed trailer collecting
food items as it makes its way
through the parade route.
All parade participants
and parade-goers are encouraged to bring one or more
non-perishable food items to
help fill “The Jungle” with
food.
The theme for this year’s
parade is “The Jungle–We’re
Wild About Being Drug
Free!” coinciding with Red
Ribbon Week.
The Rossford DECA
Chapter again is planning the
parade and invites everyone
to participate or attend.
The parade steps off at 2
p.m., and line-up begins at 1
p.m. at Veterans Memorial
Park at the end of Hannum
Avenue.
The parade will proceed
up Hannum, turn right at
Hoffman Road, left on Jennings Road, left on Eagle
Point Road, left on Superior
Street and right on Glenwood, ending at the Rossford
High School fieldhouse.
Food items may be
handed to the Lutheran
Church of the Master church
members as they walk the parade route.
All items collected will be
donated to Perrysburg Christian United (PCU), which
supports Operation Bread
Basket, the local food project
that helps citizens of Wood
County.
“There is an ever increasing need to provide food for
our local families,” said
Becky Schardt, church member.
“In 2012, PCU began a
‘client’s choice’ method of
distributing food whereby the
clients may select the groceries they need, based on the
number of members in the
household and their specific
needs and likes.”
Clients may visit the food
bank once per month. In
2012, there were 540 families
registered with the food bank
and an average of 250 families visited each month, she
added.
Donations also may be
dropped off at the church,
28774 Simmons Road, prior
to October 27.
For more information or
to volunteer for the food
drive, call the church office at
419-874-7986.
Costume Judging
Costume judging will take
place before this year’s Halloween parade.
Prizes for first, second and
third places will be awarded
in these categories: 5 years
old and younger; kindergarten through second grade;
third through sixth grade; and
junior high/high school.
All children participating
in the costume judging will
receive a prize.
Costume judging will start
promptly at 12:45 p.m. on
Sunday, at Veterans Memorial Park baseball fields on
the Hannum Avenue side.
The parade committee requests that all costume contestants participate in the
parade.
Young children will be
placed toward the beginning
of the parade.
Contestants should be
dropped off on Hoffman Avenue west of Hannum Avenue. Drivers can then vacate
the parade route via Windsor
and Jennings Roads.
There will be no parking
on Hannum, Riverview or
anywhere in the Marina area.
Parents should allow additional time for dropping off
and walking down to the
judging line up area.
Anyone who would like to
help or to participate in the
parade, call Rossford DECA
at 419-666-5262, extension
1125.

League of Women Voters of the Perrysburg Area sponsors candidates forum
am a numbers guy as well.
We did pass a very large levy
last year. I am one of the 51
percent that did vote for it and
it was a tough pill to swallow.
If I do get the opportunity
and am elected, I would be a
fresh perspective on the
board. I will really dig in and
understand the financials of
the district and just be a servant to the community.”
Township Trustees
(Two to be elected)
•Bob
Mack (inc u m bent)–“I
am grateful
and humbled
to
h a v e
served Perrysburg
Township for 12 years.
We’ve advanced professionally, and we have leveraged technology to become
more efficient and more
transparent through our Web
site, our newsletter and public meetings.
We maintain an ongoing
check list, and we have resolved many issues.
However, we have unfinished business including, but
not limited to, our unzoned
areas, our water and sewer
districts and access management plans for our roadways.
I am confident that residents can rely upon myself,
Craig LaHote, Gary Britten
and fiscal officer Shirley
Haar, to preserve our funds,
control expenses and continue progress at Perrysburg
Township. We have a collective 40 years of experience
together, and we lead with
fairness, mutual respect and
make decisions based on
what is best for the township.
I ask for your continued
confidence.”
•Gary
Britten
(incumbent)–
“This is
the third
forum that
I have partaken in
and I have
been to a few more over the
years and I’ve never seen this
many chairs filled.
I think this is really, really
important. It shows a lot for
the community, what the people are taken by, wanting to
do, wanting to be part of it.
I had the opportunity to be
part of the township for a lot
of years–eight on the board.
It has been wonderful serving
with Bob and Craig and
Shirley.
Like Bob said, we have a
lot of things that we have accomplished but there is always more to do.
I am hoping that I have the
support of the people and together as a team we will continue to move forward.”
•Candidate Lynn Hunter
was unable to attend the
forum.
Perrysburg City
Council
(Three to be elected)
•Sara
We i s e n burger
(incumbent)–
“Being a
part
of
your local
government
is
very important, and I am glad
to see so many people here.
We kind of joked about all
the political signs that we
have been seeing around
town. You will see a few of
mine, but you won’t see
nearly as many because I
haven’t really been focusing
on campaigning for this job.
I have been focusing on
doing the job that I think the
citizens expect of me.
Since I have been on
council, I have worked very
hard to find alternative funding for the wastewater treatment, I have reviewed a lot of
the old audits and financial
statements so I felt comfortable in voting for tax cuts for
the citizens.
And currently, I am working very, very, very hard on
the budget. I am going
through it line by line, I am
asking a lot of questions. Tomorrow I have a meeting with
the city administrator and finance director and I am going
to ask a lot more questions
because I think it is important.
Please consider voting for
me.”
•Barry
V a n Hoozen–
“We live in
an environment
where we
have a representative
form
of
government and so you are
interviewing us and you will
eventually hire some of us.
You need to know who we
are, and we will become
friends. I would suggest to
you that you know who I am.
You elected me 12 years ago
[to the board of education]–you learned my behaviors, you know my tendencies
and you know my philosophies.
So along those lines, I ask
for your support as we move
forward, as we move sideways hopefully from the
school board to city council.”
•Rick
Rettig–“I
would like
to
say
this–I am a
big fan of
the Perrysburg Rotary. They
are a group
of tremendous business professionals who have dedicated themselves to the
greater good. They have a
four way test which I’ve
helped them deliver to our
high school students. I also
have helped them develop
their own speech and debate
tournament.
One of the parts of the
four way test is a decisionmaking process for equals to
make great decisions regardless of what the mechanism
is. With it brings goodwill
and friendships and is a part
of that test.
I stand before you today to
continue my service that I
have been doing the past 20
years in the field of education
to continue to build goodwill
and friendships not only for
the school system but also
now for the greater community.”
• J i m
Matuszak–“I
come from
a
small
town–back
in 1964 it
was called
Perrysburg, Ohio.
I was born here, my mother
graduated from high school
here.
This process today has
been about you learning
about us. This is about us, but
once we get the jobs that we
are applying for here, it is no
longer about us, it is about
you folks. And I hope that my
campaign thus far is trying to
reach out–I have put myself
out there to see what you
have to say, get your concerns
so I can act accordingly. It
has been effective.
I am Jim Matuszak. I am
campaigning on bold, fresh
and conservative. I hope I
have been effective and I really, really would like to be
your representative on Perrysburg City Council.”
• J o e
Lawless
(incumbent)–“I
have been
doing this
job for 16
years, and
I’ve really
enjoyed
representing the City of Perrysburg to the taxpayers and
citizens.
We’ve accomplished a lot
and I am proud of the things
we have done.
Sixteen years ago Hood
Park was a gravel parking lot.
Sixteen years ago Municipal
Park was an embarrassment
to the city and now it has a
beautiful recreation building,
parking lots, pool, ball diamonds. Rotary Park was not
even talked about and that is a
wonderful collaborative effort
between the city and the Rotary to get that park developed.
Perrysburg has been very
good to me and I’ve enjoyed
serving you and I would like
to do it some more. Please
consider that.”

Court Judge
• To m
Mackin–
“I would
also like to
thank all of
you who
have made
this possible–this is
a community who volunteers and cares
about the community. And
that is what makes it a great
place to raise our family.
I think over the 24 years
that Allison and I have lived
here–and the 15 years I have
served on council, you have
had an opportunity to know
who I am and to know how I
would be as a judge.
The Voters’ Guide answers
specific questions and today
gave us additional time, so I
think you know who I am.
So I ask you to please consider me when you vote on
November 5. I think I am the
most qualified candidate, I
think my record demonstrates
what kind of judge I would be
and I think I have the temperament that would best
serve this community.
I appreciate your time and
I hope you are ‘Backin
Mackin.’”
•Molly
Mack–
“Let me
say
that
this is a
very exciting time
for the municipal
court. This
is the first time in two
decades that there will be a
new judge in municipal court.
I want to leave you with
this–everyone wants a judge
that they can trust, who will
be fair and impartial. We may
not always agree with the decisions that come out of that
court but we need to be satisfied that they were rendered
in a fair, unbiased and judicial
manner.
I have a strong work ethic.
I have a moral code along
with my legal experience in
both public and private sector
law that makes me well
poised to take on this position.
I ask for your vote on
November 5 and in exchange I pledge to follow
the rule of law, to do my
homework and research the
cases before me and to judge
with fairness and respect.”
Perrysburg Mayor
•Mike
O l m stead–
“Eight
years ago
you
expressed
your confidence in
me
by
electing me to be your city
councilman. Four years later
you expressed that confidence again by re-electing me
to a second term.
I stand before you today to
ask again for your confidence
in electing me to be your next
mayor. I am deeply humbled
by the out-pouring of support
that I have received, by the endorsements from people such
as Mayor Nelson Evans, former councilwoman Maria
Ermie, Wood County Sheriff
Mark Wasylyshyn and so
many more people who expressed their confidence in me.
But more important than
those endorsements are the
endorsements of the citizens
of Perrysburg–of everyone in
this room. That is the most
important endorsement of all.
And if you believe that my
track record of getting things
done, believe that my experience both inside and outside
local government makes a
difference–I again am asking
for confidence in the form of
your vote on November 5.”
•Laura
Hummer
–“I am a
nurse and I
love nursing. I absolutely
believe in
people first.
I spent my
life here. But today we are here
to talk about the business part
of my life as operations manager for two business centers. I
understand small business because we are a small business
that caters to small business.
We have 14 buildings with 14
businesses–and not only do we
have to know what we do, we
have to know what they do. We
have to be responsive to our
needs as well as theirs.
We have been 100 percent
leased through this last recession and that took good leadership, good planning and
compassion. We work with
our businesses so they wouldn’t flounder–that is responsive leadership.
I genuinely care about
these people and their businesses because they are in our
business. Genuine people become genuine leaders.
It takes two things to be
successful–the capability to
formulate a plan that is good
and right and the willingness
to do what it takes to make
that plan a reality.
I’ll never claim to have all
the answers, but I promise
you that together we will find
all the answers.”
PERRYSBURG TOWNSHIP PROGRESS
We have made tremendous progress in
Perrysburg Township.
Please support Britten and Mack on November 5!
Despite a challenging economy, we are pleased to report the following:
• Our balance sheet remains asset-rich.
• We have not lost property in our protected area to annexation.
• Our treasury is approaching $15 million.
• We did not incur debt for the many upgrades to our emergency services/facilities.
• In Northwest Ohio, we have an unparalleled track record of job creation and
capital investments in our industrial parks and commercial corridors.
• Our Comprehensive Plan is complete and we thank the residents for their participation
and they may rest assured that it will serve as a guideline to keep our growth balanced
and orderly.
Perrysburg Township is alive and well and we are proud of our diverse tax base and
grateful to our constituency for the opportunity to serve as your trustees!
