ROSSFORD, WOOD COUNTY, OHIO
Reduced staff, programs
$1.25 million in cuts
coming for schools
By Beth Church
Faced with declining revenues, Rossford Schools cut
$1.1 million last year through
resignations, retirements and
reductions in staffing.
Now the school district is
bracing for another $1.25
million in cuts.
“This will further impact
staffing and programs,” said
Superintendent Dan Creps at
the Rossford Board of
Education’s February 23
meeting.
He declined to elaborate
on details of the cuts.
“There will be reductions
outlined in a clear fashion at
next month’s board meeting,” he said.
After the meeting, Mr.
Creps said some retirements
will be occurring, but he has
not received all of the official
letters from employees considering that option.
“Then I’ll be looking at
class sizes and staffing levels,” he said.
He acknowledged that the
cutbacks will affect “a mix of
athletic and academic programs” as well.
The district has placed a
five-year 5.9-mill levy on the
May ballot, which would
generate $2 million.
“It’s about needs–not
about wants at this point,”
Mr. Creps added.
The
superintendent
explained that the levy will
help to offset lost revenue
that includes $1 million from
decreased property values
and $400,000 from the state's
elimination of the tangible
property tax on businesses.
It will cost the owner of a
$100,000 home about $200
more per year.
Retired teacher Terri
Reichert told the school
board she wonders if the levy
funds could be used for different purposes.
“I’m having a hard time
supporting this millage the
way this is being presented,”
she said.
Ms. Reichert believes
new tax money should be
used for new facilities “to
attract people we want in this
district.”
“Is it too late to think outside the box?” she asked the
board, questioning whether
the money could be allocated
in a different way.
“What am I going to gain
for $600 a year?” she said.
“Is it too late to change it?”
She noted that interest
rates are still low to borrow
funds for construction projects.
Rachel Johnson of St.
Andrews Road told the board
she supports the levy.
“It’s an important first
step–to have a strong foundation of operating funds,” she
said.
Mr. Creps said the cuts
already made have allowed
the district to reduce its per
pupil cost by $2,300 from
2012 to 2013. And the 2013
cost was reduced below
2010’s cost, he added.
Costs per pupil for 2014
have yet to be finalized by
the state, he said.
Combined with unfunded
mandates especially in state
testing, rising health insurance costs and special education costs, the district has a
decreasing student population, which work together to
push up the per pupil cost,
the superintendent explained.
“We have done a phenomenal job as a team of reducing that per pupil cost,” Mr.
Creps said. “We’ll continue
to work on that.”
To keep up with declining
enrollment, the teaching staff
has been reduced by the fulltime equivalent of 27 positions.
The superintendent compared that number to the current number of full-time
teachers in kindergarten
through fourth grade, which
is 28.
Personnel Decisions
The
school
board
approved the following personnel matters:
•Employment of classified
personnel–Gaylynn
Hunt, four-hour secretary at
Glenwood Elementary $20
per hour, effective March 2;
Sarah Jarosz, RJHS day
cleaner, $17.49 per hour
effective February 24.
•Supplemental contracts
for 2014-15 for Oliver Goss,
boys tennis coach, $5,051;
Todd Eckel, varsity track
coach, $5,828; Doug Sauter,
Shadd Ellison and Tom
The new state PARCC
assessments of students,
being
conducted
in
February and March, are
consuming a great deal of
time for Rossford administrators, teachers and students.
The online, state-mandated testing at the junior
high began February 17
with sixth grade, according
to Holly Schmidbauer, junior high interim principal.
Seventh graders were
tested the week of February
23, and eighth graders the
following week.
All are tested in English
language arts and math.
Sixth graders will then
take the Ohio AIR performance based assessments
(PBA) in social studies, and
eighth graders will take the
science PBA.
“There have been many
hours of preparation, from
classroom teachers, students, administrators, guidance counselors, tech personnel, secretaries, curriculum director, superintendent, math coach, reading
coaches and others,” Mrs.
Schmidbauer said in her
report to the board.
At
Eagle
Point
Elementary, PARCC assessments began February 18 and
end March 12, for all third,
fourth and fifth graders.
“This was quite a task as
we had to make arrangements for testing over a 20
day period,” principal Jeff
Taylor said.
He especially thanked
Sandy Smith, district technology director, “for all of
her work in getting us prepared.”
Ms. Smith noted, in her
report to the board, that “the
amount of time this is taking is horrific.”
“Most of my time has
been spent on preparing
everything for the on-line
assessments. I have been
updating data such as student registration files and
special education accommodations.”
She has met with each
principal to verify all student user names and passwords, to review testing
schedules. For an in-service
day, she taught five sessions
of testing trainings for staff.
“I feel I have a good handle on the process and will
be able to have a good plan
next year for involving others with some of the data
entry,” she said.
Belinda Rhoads, interim
director of special services,
explained to the board
about the increased work
for PARCC tests with spe-
NWSD awards grant to RJHS
Mike Scott, a Rossford resident who serves on the Northwestern Water and
Sewer District board of directors, presented a $400 educational grant to Heather
Patacca, sixth grade teacher at Rossford Junior High School, during the February
23 school board meeting.
“Our future is the kids,” Mr. Scott explained. “We hope this will help to get them
interested in water quality and all the environmental aspects.”
The district has presented grants to five school districts, he said. It also offers
speakers who visit schools to discuss careers in water quality and environmental
regulations.
Mrs. Patacca agreed to help the NWSD board draft the next round of grant applications.
Superintendent Dan Creps added, “We would like to thank our friends at
Northwestern for allowing our students this opportunity.”

Glenwood Elementary.
Superintendent Creps recognized Jane Bowes, secretary at Glenwood Elementary
School, with a token of
appreciation for her service
to the district. She is retiring
as of March 1. Ms. Bowes
was hired in 2006.
The board also met in
executive session to discuss
personnel employment. No
action was taken afterward.
Buildings and Grounds
Report
Ron Weaks, supervisor of
buildings and grounds,
reported the following
February projects to the
board:
•Electrical panel replacement at RHS is scheduled for
spring break by ColganDavis.
•A pump, seal and bearings were replaced on the
RHS vacuum pump, $277; a
motor and bearings were
replaced in this univent,
$126.
•Repaired the coil for the
univent in the RJHS art
room, $150.
•The drive shaft and gears
on the John Deere 4310 tractor are no longer working.
Mr. Weaks is looking at the
cost to replace this tractor
instead of repairing it. It is a
2003 model used for winter
snow removal.
•Two more skids of
salt were ordered from
Mellocraft, $550.
•Two closures were
replaced in the breezeway
doors, $270.
•Vandalism–the window
in the rear door to the RJHS
gym was broken by a student.
Cost for repairs of $270 will
be reimbursed by the parents.
Other Business
In other business, the
board:
•Heard from Mr. Creps
that Judy Cassidy, Meijer
store manager, has donated
$500 Meijer gift cards to be
used by each principal for
items for their buildings.
•Presented certificates of
commendations to the RHS
Drama Club directors and
students for their perform-
cial education students.
Ms. Smith and curriculum director Jason Smith
have assisted all the special
education teachers with new
PARCC testing for students
on individual education
plans (IEPs).
“New PARCC guidelines
changed the criteria for
some of the accommodations that our students have
used for high stake and
classroom
testing,” Ms.
Rhoads said in her report to
the board.
Those changes resulted in
reviewing the accommodations needed for each child
with the new decision creating frameworks that then led
to contacting each family
and amending the IEP to
reflect new PARCC guidelines.
“A significant additional
workload was imposed on
the technology department
(all changes had to be made
electronically) as well as
each of the special education
teachers,” Ms. Rhoads said.
“Processes are now in
place to assure that the
IEP/504 accommodations
are in line with the specific
criteria for each type of
assessment.”
In addition, all special
education teachers who are
administering
alternate
assessments to students with
significant disabilities have
been trained.
“Teachers have the alternate assessment materials
and will administer the
assessments to the students
during the required timelines. Second raters have
been assigned as required by
the Ohio Department of
Education,” Ms. Rhoads
said.
Carrie Rathsack, integration specialist, reported that
she has been working with
administrators and teachers
to create schedules that meet
testing needs with the least
interruption to students and
instruction.
She assisted with a
February 6 in-service where
teachers could attend five of
33
possible
sessions
throughout the day–most of
which were presented by
other teachers who volunteered their time to prepare
and share. A website has
been established for teachers
and staff to use for future reference.
Mr. Smith noted in his
report to the board that state
ratings based on students’
scores will be used in the
teacher evaluation process
next year.
“Currently all teachers
administering any PARCC
test or Ohio AIR tests in science will receive valueadded reports and ratings.
“Those ratings are to be
used in the teacher evaluation process next year
(value-added is always a
year behind),” he explained.
However, the results
would not be used in
Rossford teacher evaluations
if an amendment to the
teachers’ contract is agreed
upon by the teachers’ union
and the school board, he
added.
“There is legislation in
progress that would prohibit
the use of this data in the
evaluation process but it has
not yet been passed,” Mr.
Smith said.

Terminated deputy police chief files lawsuits
On February 23, former
Perrysburg Township Deputy
Police Chief Mike Gilmore
filed two lawsuits against the
township and trustees in
Wood County Common Pleas
Court.
In the first case, Mr.
Gilmore, who is being represented by Toledo attorney
Thomas Sobecki, is appealing
his termination.
Citing personnel discipline
issues and lack of voter support for a police levy last fall,
the Perrysburg Township
trustees at a February board
meeting eliminated his position and terminated the
deputy chief.
In his appeal, Mr. Gilmore
cites a February 13 letter in
which the trustees notified
him of their intent to eliminate
his job, effective February 12,
and asked for his resignation.
“If you choose not to resign,
your employment is terminated, effective February 13,
2015,” states the letter from
township administrator Walt
Celley.
The former deputy chief
alleges that the trustees’ decision is “unconstitutional, illegal, arbitrary, capricious,
unreasonable, and/or unsupported by the preponderance
of substantial, reliable and
probative evidence.”
Mr. Sobecki also filed a
second lawsuit on behalf of
his client against the board
and each trustee individually–Gary Britten, Craig
LaHote and Bob Mack.
The lawsuit lists three
counts. Count one alleges violations of procedural due
process rights under the U.S.
Constitution.

First league championship for RHS since 1993
Bulldogs dethrone Royals to grab NBC crown
By Michael Krieger
The Rossford Bulldogs
played with verve and passion last Friday night, using a
quick start to drop the
Elmwood Royals and grabbing a share of the Northern
Buckeye Conference championship.
The RHS boys basketball
team raced out to a 21-7 first
quarter lead and never trailed,
defeating Elmwood, 69-49 in
the regular season finale.
With the win, the team
shares the NBC title with the
Lake Flyers, who also won
Friday. It is the first league
championship
for
the
Bulldogs since 1993 when
Rossford won the Northern
Lakes League.
“I’m really pleased for
these kids,” Head Coach
Brian Vorst said. “It’s been
the goal all season, and a
dream for these guys for a
long time. It’s been over 20
years for the school, and
these guys achieved it. I
couldn’t be more proud.”
To earn the victory, the
Bulldogs relied on the mainstays of their success this season: swarming defense and
balanced offense.
Bolstered by the outside
shooting of point guard Ryan
Niese, the inside power game
of Nate Childress, and the
defensive hustle of Hector
Aguirre, Rossford pushed to
a big, early lead at the end of
the first.
The second quarter picked
up where the first left off.
Despite giving up two quick
scores to the Royals at the
start of the period, Rossford
relied on its quickness to generate steals and produce transition baskets.
After Niese connected on
a three, the Bulldogs led 2611 and forced the Royals to
take a timeout.
The timeout didn’t slow
down the Bulldogs. Aguirre
rebounded his own shot and
scored before the team
looked inside to junior Jeff
Hodak, who made a strong
move to the basket for another two.
On the ensuing inbound
play, sophomore Jacob Perry
stole the pass and found
Niese for a layup. Niese was
fouled and completed the
three-point play.
Two possessions later,
Niese
found
Marty
Linthicum inside for another
basket and a 35-17 lead.
The teams went on a flurry of traded baskets. They
combined for 40 points in the
second quarter alone, but it
was RHS that led at halftime,
41-27.
The pace slowed in the
third quarter, but treys by
Rossford’s Ben Sauter and
Erik Davis provided a comfortable margin, 56-37 before
heading into the final period.
Rossford utilized its
bench for most of the fourth,
and there was little let up.
Elmwood managed to find
the target on a few threepointers, but sophomore
reserve guard Matthew
Fuerst kept pace with a three
of his own, giving Rossford a
20-point lead.
After an 8-3 run that
ended with a Fuerst hitting a
floater in the lane, Rossford
went to the bench to play the
last of the reserves and finish
the contest.
Rossford shot 60 percent
from the field, and the
Bulldog bench out-scored
Elmwood subs 23-3.
Leading RHS in scoring
was Niese with 17 points and
seven assists. He also hit a
perfect 6 for 6 from the free
throw line. Aguirre chipped
in 10 points and five
rebounds.
The Bulldog big men–
Childress, Linthicum and
Hodak–combined for 18
points and 10 rebounds.
Leading the Royals were
Tayte Lentz with 18 points
and joining him in double fig-
ures was Trevor Solether with
13.
At the game’s conclusion,
the Elmwood announcer
noted that Rossford had won
a share of the league championship, and the hosts showed
tremendous sportsmanship,
allowing the Bulldogs to cut
down the net and celebrate
with fans on the floor.
Each of the players took
turns clipping off a piece of
trailed 28-27.
The Bulldogs managed to
rally in the second half. Until
that point, the shots weren’t
falling, although the RHS
defense was creating opportunities for the team.
Rossford began to take
advantage of Maumee’s
misses and started utilizing a
higher percentage inside
game, where they went down
low to Nate Childress to

The win gave the

record on the season and a

Bulldogs Turn Back
Panthers, 60-43
On February 24, Rossford
hosted the Maumee Panthers
for the final home game of
the season.
After a tightly contested
first half in which Maumee
hit eight of 15 shots from the
three-point range, Rossford
power it in.
A 10-3 run at the end of
the third quarter, including a
three at the buzzer by Ben
Sauter, boosted the Bulldogs
to a 45-36 lead.
From there, RHS did not
look back, outscoring the
Panthers 33-15 in the second
half.
Childress led the Bulldogs
with 12 points and seven
boards while Sauter added
11, and Ryan Niese and
Hector Aguirre each tossed
in 10.

Rossford Eagles
Matthew Hinojosa of
Rossford was honored at a
recent Boy Scouts of America Eagle Court of Honor
ceremony in recognition of
his accomplishments and
advancement to the rank of
Eagle Scout.
Matthew’s journey to
Eagle began in September
2006 as a 6-year-old in Pack
43 Tenderfoot Cub Scout.
He finished that journey on
November 12, 2014 by
becoming a 14-year-old
BSA Troop 62 Eagle Scout.
He is the son of Wil and
Janet Hinojosa.
The family are members
of Ashland Church, Starr
Avenue, Oregon, where
Matthew completed his
Eagle project.
Matthew had mixed emotions on his decision for his
Eagle project.
He loves the outdoors,
hopes to study environmental sciences and become a
park ranger for the National
Park Service. He also is very
devoted to his church.
Matthew had to decide
whether to build wood duck
boxes for Ottawa National
Wildlife Refuge or complete
a much-needed makeover of
the Ashland Church music
department.
During the ceremony, a
special presentation was
made by Rebecca Shaw,
director of music at the
church.
Her department was the
beneficiary of Matthew’s
Eagle project that involved
the revamping of two rooms
to aid the church choir and
musicians.
The work included a
built-in work table, mail
boxes for each musician, a
numbering system, heavy
duty shelving system for all
instruments and the renovation of the stairway and
hand rail system to aid the
handicap church members.
In his Eagle response
during the ceremony,
Matthew acknowledged his
family, friends, his scouting
family and church members
as his heroes who helped
and guided him during his
journey to Eagle Scout.
“The people and the
experiences during my nineyear journey to Eagle are in
my heart forever,” he said.
“And with the help of God, I
plan to live by the scout oath
and the scout law for the rest
of my life.”
Eagle is the highest rank
obtainable in scouting.
A freshman at Rossford
High School, Matthew is
active on the school soccer
and track and field teams.

projects include highway
widening and safety
improvements, bridge and
pavement repair, bicycle
paths, more public transit
and passenger rail service,
and railroad overpasses.
The plan aims to make
transportation better for
both citizens and the move-
ment of freight.
The public is invited to
review the plan and see displays at public meetings in
March. The following
meetings are scheduled:

Grant recipients were

adults served by the program, the program’s uniqueness, the level of community

After surgery for a routine hip replacement,
Mike was anxious to get back to his normal,
active lifestyle. His brief three week rehab stay
at St. Clare Commons helped maximize his
performance, and was the perfect stepping
stone from hospital to home.
In that count, Mr.
Gilmore alleges that he

notice of any charges
against him nor was he
provided an opportunity to
respond to any charges.”
The second count

County Health District receives
grant from Delta Dental
Wood County Health District recently received $2,500
from the Delta Dental Foundation through its Brighter
Futures Community Grant
Program. The funding will
help promote oral health
education in several schools
in Wood County during
National Children’s Dental
Health Month.
Dental care is the number
one unmet health care need
for nearly 157,400 children
of all family incomes across
Ohio as well as for all races
and ethnicities. Nearly
486,000 of Ohio’s children
are without dental insurance
and almost 340,000 children
in Ohio have never been to
the dentist.
In Wood County, 21 percent of children under 18
have not had a dental visit in
the last year, 9.1 percent
have never visited a dentist,
14 percent do not have dental
insurance and 4.4 percent
could not receive needed
dental care.
The Ohio Department of
Health cites that 51 percent
of Ohio children have experienced tooth decay by third
grade.
“Developing good habits
such as daily tooth brushing
with fluoridated toothpaste at
an early age and scheduling
regular dental visits helps
children to get a good start
on a lifetime of healthy teeth
and gums,” said health educator, Jennifer Campos.
“That is why our program
will focus on age-appropriate
educational outreach materials and distribution of oral

New CVB and salon celebrate grand opening
The Rossford Convention and Visitors Bureau celebrated the grand opening of its new Rossford office last week.
It is located in the business complex at 1001 Dixie Highway.
The Rossford CVB was founded in
2011 to promote Rossford attractions
and businesses to visitors, who come
to eat, shop, play, stay overnight and
do business.
Beth Genson serves as the director,
and Mary Schaller is the administrative assistant.
In conjunction with the open house,
NWSD offers tips to prevent water pipes
from freezing and fix frozen water lines
Current weather conditions pose a threat to water
pipes that are not protected.
The Northwestern Water
and Sewer District urges
residents to take steps that
prevent water pipes and
meters from freezing,
which allows water service
to continue and avoids
expensive repairs.
•Disconnect and drain
outdoor hoses. Detaching
the hose allows water to
drain from the pipe. Otherwise a single, hard
overnight freeze can burst
either the faucet or the pipe
to which it is connected.
•Insulate pipes or
faucets in unheated areas.
If the homeowner has pipes
in an unheated garage or
cold crawl space beneath
the house, wrap the water
pipes before temperatures
plummet. Hardware or
building supply stores have
good pipe wrapping materials available.
•Consider installing
“heat tape,” “heat cable” or
similar materials on
exposed water pipes. Hardware or building supply
stores have many brands to
fit all needs. Be sure to use
only UL-listed products
and follow the instructions
carefully.
•Seal off access doors,
air vents and cracks. Repair
broken basement windows.
Winter winds whistling
through overlooked openings can quickly freeze

exposed pipes. However,
don’t plug air vents the furnace or water heater needs
for good combustion.
•Find the master shutoff. It’s most likely where
the water line comes into
the house from the street. If
it is not there, it may be
near the water heater or
washing machine. If a pipe
bursts anywhere in the
house– kitchen, bath, basement or crawl space–this
valve turns it off. Find it
and paint it a bright color
or hang a tag on it. Be sure
everyone in the house
knows where it is and what
it does.
•Keep a thin stream of
water, the size of a pencil
lead, running overnight or
during the day, if there is
no water usage. The cost is
minimal compared to
expensive repairs.
What should a homeowner do if the pipes
freeze?
If no water comes from
faucets when they are
open, the pipes nearest a
wall, door, window or
along the floor are likely
frozen.
Start by opening a
faucet near the frozen pipe
to release any vapor from
the melting ice, and to
know when the water starts
flowing again.
Begin warming the
pipes nearest the faucet and
work toward the frozen
section.
Blow warm air on the
pipe using a hair dryer. Do
not leave the dryer unattended or allow it to overheat. Wave the hair dryer
back and forth along the
pipe–not on one spot.
Do not under any circumstances use a torch
with an open flame. The
entire house could catch on
fire.
Also, overheating a single spot can burst the pipe.
Heating a soldered joint
could allow it to leak or
come completely apart.
When the pipe thaws,
water could come gushing
out. Be prepared to run for
the master shutoff valve, if
so.
If a hair dryer is not
available, wrap the frozen
section with rags or towels
and pour hot water over
them. This method is
messy, but it works.
Once water has begun to
flow again, let a pencilsized stream of water flow
through the faucet until
normal heating is restored
to the area.
Eliminate cold drafts
and allow warm air to circulate around the pipes to
prevent freezing again.
For more information,
contact NWSD at 1-877354-9090 or visit the website www.nwwsd.org.
Anyone experiencing an
emergency who needs to
reach NWSD after hours,
should call 419-354-9001,
and choose option 4 at the

Christian Science lecturer to discuss overcoming
drug, opioid addictions through spiritual approach
and Herbert Berghoff. That
was when he developed a dependency on drugs.
Determined to overcome
his addiction, he was healed
through his study of Science
and Health with Key of the
Scriptures by Mary Baker
Eddy, a book of universal
ideas on practical spirituality.
The experience changed his
life, bringing renewed commitment to his spiritual journey.
“That’s why I know it
works,” he said. “You have to
bring God into the conversation. God is the healer. There
is a spiritual solution and it is
based upon Christian Science
prayer.
“Look what happened to
me. It can happen to anyone
who wants healing badly
enough,” he said.
His lecture invites people
to consider the message, one
that stirs human thought and
Heroin and other drug addictions have become a top
health concern in northwest
Ohio, and state and local
agencies are addressing the
problem with ramped up antiaddiction initiatives including
treatment programs.
However, there is a another helpful approach to
overcoming habit-forming
addictions, one based upon
spirituality, which will be described by Christian Science
lecturer John Adams, who, as
a young man was healed of a
serious drug problem.
Mr. Adams will bring a
message of hope and promise
when he delivers a free lecture at 7:30 p.m. on Monday,
March 16, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Levis Commons in
Perrysburg.

full-time work as a practitioner of Christian Science
healing. In his practice he has
worked with and helped patients overcome their reliance
on chemical substances.
In addition to his practice
he is a teacher of Christian
Science and as a member of
the Christian Science Board
of Lectureship, he frequently
gives lectures throughout the
country and around the world
on the healing power of
prayer.
Mr. Adams’ appearance is

Submissions sought for railroad
bridge art project in Toledo
Art Corner Toledo (ACT)
is seeking designs for four
murals measuring 8.5’x30’.
Designs will be painted on
Norfolk Southern railroad
bridges on Dorr and Bancroft
Streets.
The selected artworks are
intended to beautify the
bridges and engage Toledo
artists in creating the design
and aesthetic around the
phrase “Toledo Alive!”
Councilman Tyrone Riley
and area residents of District
1 have spearheaded an effort
to beautify railroad bridges
on Bancroft and Dorr Streets.
Their hope is that the project
will inspire beautification on
nearby central city streets.
ACT, with funding from
the City of Toledo and sponsored by DGL Consulting Engineers who are also lending
labor and expertise to the
project, will beautify these
bridges by offering the opportunity to local artists to
submit designs incorporating
the phrase, “Toledo Alive!”.
Councilman Riley and district residents will select four
designs to be painted by the
artist. The bridges will be
painted in spring and summer
of 2015. Residents hope to
see images of Toledoans
being productive and industrious.
Local artists or artist
teams working in a medium
that can be painted directly
onto railroad bridges are invited to submit designs for
this project.
Each artist or artist team
may submit one design for
consideration.
Proposed artwork may be
submitted either digitally or
by USPS by emailing art
[email protected] or
sending drawings to P.O. Box
4647 Toledo, Ohio 43610.
A total of four designs
will be selected from the submitted proposals to be
painted on the railroad
bridges.
All material costs will be
covered, and an artist fee will
be provided.
The selection deadline is
April 1, and artists will be notified before April 22.

PETS
Wood County Humane Society’s
PETS OF THE WEEK
Cass is a very energetic and active terrier mix
who expresses her opinions and feelings
quite freely. (It’s a charming trait!) She would
love to have a very active family who can
keep up with her and engage her in lots of
different physical activities to satisfy her
adventurous spirit. Cass has done very well
around a couple of young children that she
has met at the shelter, but she would prefer a
home without cats. (We also haven’t had the
chance to introduce her to any other dogs, so
we don’t know how well she’d do with
them.) Cass isn’t always active, though, and
she loves her nap times as much as any dog! Think Cass might
have a place in your family? Come meet her today!
About a year ago, Sabrina was a stray
who was found by a kind couple in the
community. This couple took her in,
learned that she suffered from an injured
jaw, and nursed her back to health before
turning her over to us. This dilute tortie is
in perfect health now, aside from missing
her teeth. (But don’t let that fact worry
you! Sabrina can eat, meow, play, and
even cat nap as well as the next feline,
with or without her teeth!) This girl can be
a bit shy when she is getting to know humans, but once a human is
familiar to her, she is so affectionate and loving. Sabrina would
enjoy nothing more than to curl up on the couch with her forever
family. If you think your home could be her new forever home,
then drop by and fill out an application 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, received an initial de-worming and flea prevention, have a
14-day health guarantee and a free physical exam to local participating veterinary offices. All of our pets are also microchipped
prior to adoption.*
Bring this advertisement to the shelter when you come to
adopt one of our featured animals and receive $10 off the animal’s regular adoption price (not combined with any other
specials) with an approved application.
Please visit or call the Wood County Humane Society at 419-352-7339
to learn more about these great pets. All of our adoptable animals can
be viewed by visiting www.WoodCountyHumaneSociety.org.

Month in March, the American Red Cross invites everyone to donate blood or
platelets, volunteer their time
or sign up to organize a blood
drive.
Since 1943, every president has designated March as
Red Cross Month to recognize how the Red Cross helps
people down the street and
across the country.
“The everyday heroes are
those who donate blood, volunteer, take a lifesaving class,
host a blood drive or make a
financial contribution to help
neighbors here in northwest
Ohio and across the nation,”
said Mike Thome, CEO of
the Western Lake Erie Blood
Services Region. “We thank
and honor these everyday heroes who support the Red
Cross.”
People also can become
everyday heroes by hosting a
SleevesUp virtual blood drive
or creating a team via the
Blood
Donor
App.
SleevesUp provides an easy
way for Red Cross supporters
to encourage those in their
networks to give blood or
platelets to honor someone’s
life, celebrate a special occasion or simply bring people
together to help save lives.
Campaigns can be created
online at redcrossblood
.org/SleevesUp.
The Blood Donor App allows individuals to find a
local blood or platelet donation opportunity, schedule
appointments and track their
donation history. Plus, it lets
users create teams and recruit
friends and family to roll up a
sleeve with them. The Blood
Donor App is available for
download
by
texting
BLOODAPP to 90999 or by
visiting redcrossblood.org
/BloodApp.
“It doesn’t take superpowers to be a hero for a patient
in need–just a little time,”
said Mr. Thome. Blood
donors with all blood types,
particularly O negative, A
negative and B negative, and
platelet donors are encouraged to make an appointment
to give.
All blood types are
needed to ensure a reliable
supply for patients. A blood
donor card or driver’s license
or two other forms of identification are required at
check-in. Individuals who
are 17 years of age (16 with
parental consent in some
states), weigh at least 110
pounds and are in generally
good health may be eligible
to donate blood. High school
students and other donors 18
years of age and younger
also have to meet certain
height and weight requirements.
For more information or
to schedule an appointment,
call 1-800-733-2767.

Seminar for parents to discuss
online dangers for children
Area parents are invited
to a free seminar on Monday,
March 9, explaining online
dangers for children.
The Rossford School District will host “The Digital
Divide: Children at Risk Online–What Parents Don’t
Know About the Internet.”
It will take place from
6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Rossford High School auditorium, 701 Superior Street.
This seminar provides the
opportunity for parents to
learn what their children are
doing online and the specific
risks that online child sex
predators pose.
It will be presented by an
experienced Internet crimes
investigator with the Wood
County Sheriff’s Office who
provides a unique perspec-
tive on the risks children
face.
Children are savvy and
confident in exploring all
that the Internet has to offer,
but they often take risks online.
Seminar topics include:
Online Risks, Where Kids
Hang Out, Chatting/Messaging, Mobile Platform Risks,
Popular Apps, Monitoring
Your PC, Web/Email/P2P,
Open Source Dangers, Social
Mapping, Online Predators,
Social Media, Bootable OS,
Parent Strategies, and Getting Help.
Parents will learn how to
develop a plan to protect
children.
This seminar is intended
for adults. No children
should attend.
Girls bowling team
qualifies for state
For the first time in Rossford High School history,
the girls bowling team has
advanced to the state competition after a fourth place
finish among 12 teams at
districts last weekend.
The girls rolled up 3618
points in the competition
held at Rossford’s Interstate
Lanes.
“It’s pretty surreal,” said
Head Coach Justin Reitz
after the girls continue to
amaze in what has turned
out to be a Cinderella season
for the team.
“I knew they were good,
but this tells me that we are
one of the best 16 teams in
Ohio. We’re still on cloud
nine. We knew we could do
it, but I’m also a little
shocked because of the talent that was there.”
Leading the way for
Rossford was Kathleen Hermes, who rolled a 560 series.
At district, the team had
to play three games in the
competition. She was joined
by Jessica Kulczak with a
530 series and Hope Kemper with a 505 series.
The team now moves on
to compete on Friday,
March 6 at Lane Webb Bowl
in Columbus.
OHSAA has only recognized bowling as a state
sport for 10 years. This is
the first time that Rossford
has a bowling team–boys or
girls–at this level.
Reitz believes that on
any given day his girls can
compete with any school.
“I’m not sure what to expect at state,” he said. “It
will be interesting to see
how we handle it. But, we
have the talent. And if we
bowl well, we could make a
run at the title.”
The girls will bowl at 10
a.m. in their quest to continue the success of this
landmark season.

Wrestler Vasquez advances
to district competition
Rossford High School’s
head wrestling coach Randy
Hussar summed up the sectional competition at Oak
Harbor last weekend as
“brutal.”
Against what might be
the toughest competition in
the state, the RHS wrestlers
competed well and managed
to get one qualifier to this
week’s district competition.
In a tournament where no
matches in the finals went to
a pin and action was often
slowed due to injuries, Rossford’s young team had their
hands full.
Sophomore
Brandon
Vasquez, wrestling in the
285 lb. weight class, was the
lone Bulldog qualifier.
Vasquez did not make it
look easy, though. After a
first round loss to the top
seeded wrestler, he achieved
the unlikely accomplishment
of wrestling all the way back
to gain a spot in the consolation final before losing there

The Rossford High School
Drama Club will host an encore performance of its production of “I Never Saw
Another Butterfly,” by Celeste Raspanti, on Tuesday,
March 24, at 7 p.m., in the
RHS auditorium.
General admission tickets
are $5 at the door.
“I Never Saw Another
Butterfly” is a horrific historical account recalling the
atrocities of the Terezin concentration camp in World War
II. The life lesson of survival,
inspiration through art, culture, ethnicity and self identity is narrated by Raja
Englanderova, a real life survivor of the camps.
The production was chosen as a featured full length
production at the Ohio Educational Theatre Association
Conference and was recognized by the Rossford Board
of Education at the February

and taking fourth place in
the tournament.
The top four placers advance to the district competition–one step before going
to state.
“It’s rare when a kid can
come back like that after a
first round loss,” Hussar
said.
Tanner Krotzer at 106
lbs. and Casey Orr at 170
lbs. wrestled well enough to
be considered alternates to
district.
They will only wrestle on
the off-chance that another
competitor cannot on the day
of the tournament.
Freshman Austin Eick at
113 lbs. would have been an
alternate, but an injury during his final match will keep
him sidelined.
“The kids didn’t wrestle
bad. All the matches were
close,” Hussar said. “We
represented ourselves well
for as young as we are.”
