PHS to host playoff game Friday Yellow Jackets maul Maumee, finish season 10-0 By Tracey Brungard The Perrysburg High School varsity football team traveled to rival Maumee High School for the final game of the regular season. With sophomore quarterback Spencer Backus at the helm, in his first career start, the Yellow Jackets defeated the Panthers, 49-21. Perrysburg was first to put points on the board with a 60-yard drive capped by a tough Josh Haynes run up the middle for a 15-yard touchdown. Maumee’s first possession was cut short by defender Chase Banks who forced a turnover and recovered the fumble by quarterback John Henry. Perrysburg then drove 35 yards, putting the Yellow Jackets on the goal line, only to fumble the snap and give Maumee the ball.

The shuttle will run every 15 minutes until the game starts. Both teams punted before Perrysburg’s Evan Conley tackled a receiver on the perimeter that was recovered by Zack Honsberger on the 20 yard line. The Jackets drove to the 3 yard line and fumbled, again giving Maumee the ball. The Panthers botched the snap in the endzone and it was recovered by Banks for a touchdown, making the score 14-0 with 10 minutes to play in the half. Perrysburg’s defense held the Panthers on a fourth-and-five, giving the Yellow Jackets the ball near midfield. Despite the good field possession, Perrysburg fumbled a handoff which was recovered by Maumee’s Donquaveus Wyatt and returned for a touchdown. The Jackets led 14-7 with 7:37 left to play. On Maumee’s next pos- session, the Panthers completed a 40-yard pass to Caleb Brown setting up a Maumee first-and-goal. On fourth-and-goal, the Panthers ran it in for a oneyard touchdown to knot the score at 14. Perrysburg responded on the following drive as Backus threw a 35-yard pass to Honsberger. Four plays later, Haynes ran around the right edge for a touchdown to make the score 21-14 at the half. The Yellow Jackets had an explosive third quarter, scoring 21 unanswered points. Backus found the endzone on a seven-yard run. Honsberger had a 71yard touchdown run down the right side, and Haynes added to the scoring spree with a four-yard run down the middle, making the score 42-14.

He reminded board members the district is required to submit its fiveyear forecast in May and October. “It does contain three years of historical information. And what we utilize this for is to keep track of how we are doing financially, ” explained Mr. Feasel. “We update that every six months so the board and the district knows where we are in terms of projected revenues and our expenditures and what we actually experience.” The district is using a new software enhancement–Forecast Five model, said the treasurer. “It not only goes into the forecasting model but it also provides analyticals that we can look at in terms of how we are doing,” he said. “It is the fund side and pulls in information from across the state. So in a matter of five seconds, I can pull up data from districts in Lucas County, Wood County and compare where we are in terms of salaries, in terms of positions–it is endless in terms of the information that is available. We not only use this model, we also use the analytical side of Forecast Five.” Five-Year Forecast Assumptions •Real Estate Taxes–real estate taxes have been projected with the growth of the incremental levy only, explained Mr. Feasel, adding that minimal growth from valuation increases or new construction has been factored in years four and five of this forecast. The 2016 calendar year collection has been increased by $975,000 and then redistributed based on a fiscal year (July-June) collection. The 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 fiscal years have been calculated using a 1 percent increase only. The incremental levy expires in December 2016. •Income Taxes–In the last five years, the district has seen an average increase of 6.11 percent in income tax revenue. “Just outside of that five-year window, the district suffered a 19.30 percent reduction in 2009-10 that caught the district by surprise,” said the treasurer. “Since that time, the district has seen steady increases up until last year when that percentage dropped to 3.36 percent.” He told board members that the district cannot continue to count on the 5 to 6 percent increases. And that a conservative 2 percent rate of growth has been used in this forecast. •Investments–the district is seeing some upward trends in some of the rates and opportunities for some growth in this area. “The 2 percent may be too much, but I continue to remain optimistic,” said the treasurer. •Other Local–this consists of kindergarten and summer program tuition, donation agreements and other miscellaneous local income sources. Mr. Feasel does not anticipate any significant revenue increase in any of these areas. •Foundation–the district has seen some additional funding from the state in the last two years, continued the treasurer. “We are beginning a new biennium budget and while we have yet to see what the actual funding levels will be, we have prepared this forecast on projections we have received from the Ohio Department of Education,” said Mr. Feasel. “We have projected a 7.5 percent increase in 2015-16 and the same percentage in 2016-17. “I am going to remain on the conservative side and not project any kind of state funding increase in years three, four and five in this forecast. If we plan for the worst and end up receiving some additional funding, that will be a bonus for us. “With the funding cap in place, I am not anticipating that we will be fully funded anytime soon. Based on the revised funding formula, if we were to Please turn to page 3➧ By Jane Maiolo After inspecting the roof at the Perrysburg Heights Community Center, township maintenance supervisor Kraig Gottfried reported his findings to the trustees. At the October 21 Perrysburg Township trustees meeting, Mr. Gottfried said he looked over the roof bids. Nordmann Roofing and Mosser Construction presented two estimates. He noted that Nordmann’s estimate of $3,394 was “more etched in stone.” The Mosser estimate was broken into a per hour rate for different personnel on the job as well as an estimate of material costs. Nordmann is proposing to refasten counter flashing where it meets the south side block wall; remove caulking at three penetrations and resealing it; install new coupler and pvc pipe where soil pipe has broken; install new pipe boot; screw down existing hangers where they have loosened; recaulk where the wall meets siding at the west end of the building; install shingles where missing; fasten loose vent stack, and clean and haul away debris from the premises. Mr. Gottfried said the repairs are needed. Trustee Gary Britten acknowledged that the repairs are needed, but reminded the board that the Perrysburg Heights Association is responsible for maintaining the building as part of its lease agreement with the township. Several months ago, the association asked the trustees to assist with repairs, citing lack of funds. “If we step in and do this, are we violating the lease?” asked Trustee Bob Mack. “I don’t think it’s a violation of the lease,” said Trustee Rob Armstrong, noting that the township owns the building and it is in its best interest to maintain the facility. Mr. Britten questioned whether there are other options. “Would we be willing to loan them [association] the money?” Administrator Walt Cel- ley said he could check into it, but that it may not be possible. Mr. Britten and Mr. Mack pointed out that the association has yet to produce financial records for the trustees’ review. “They need to be forthcoming with the records,” said Mr. Britten. The trustees authorized the administrator to request the financial records from the association, and tabled a decision on the roof, pending receipt of the information. Other Business In other business, the trustees: •Heard from John Holly of Locust Street, Perrysburg, who suggested the trustees consider construction of a skate park on property the township owns adjacent to the township complex on Lime City Road. Mr. Holly said he has established a nonprofit group, which has raised more than $3,000 toward a skate park. Recreation Bob Warnimont said when the township had a temporary skate park at Fire Station No. 2 “it was well used.” He noted that there were issues with users refusing to wear safety equipment. •Selected Poggemeyer Design Group as the design firm for renovations to the administration building. •Set a public hearing for Eckel Trace plat three lighting district for 6:45 p.m., Wednesday, November 4. •Announced that with Tom Mackin’s resignation from Perrysburg City Council, there also will be an opening on the Fort Meigs cemetery board. City council will appoint another member, explained Mr. Britten, who expressed his appreciation to Mr. Mackin. “Tom has been one of our better board members.” •Addressed Mr. Warnimont’s query about when improvements to Glenwood Road will be made. The trustees are currently in litigation with Ten Mile Creek, the firm that resurfaced the road several years ago, because Glenwood is deteriorating Please turn to page 3➧ In 2014, 30,680 children were victims of abuse or neglect in Ohio Exchange Club supports school district SAPP program The Perrysburg Exchange Club Foundation recently presented a check to the Perrysburg School District to fund the district’s sexual abuse prevention program (SAPP). SAPP is a two-part problem-solving and personal safety program that helps children to recognize abusive situations and to feel comfortable in sharing their concerns with their parents and other trusted adults. Lessons are taught in each third grade classroom through videotapes, discussions, artwork and role-playing. Students become aware of their family support system–parents, relatives, close friends–and their community support system–police and fire personnel, teachers, neighbors, etc. SAPP is a county-wide program that has been part of the Perrysburg school district’s third-grade curriculum since 1985. Retired teacher Nancy Davis is program coordinator. At the October meeting of the Perrysburg Board of Education, Mrs. Davis told board members that the Ohio FamilyPrevention Project reported 30,680 children were victims of abuse or neglect in 2014. “Also, there were 11,764 reports of child physical abuse substantiated or indicated and 5,246 reports of child sexual abuse substantiated or indicated,” she said. “You might say, ‘well not in Please turn to page 3➧ The Perrysburg Exchange Club Foundation recently presented a $2,500 check to the Perrysburg School District for the SAPP program.

The underground pipeline system will safely carry clean, abundant natural gas to the region and beyond. Rover is committed to protecting Ohio’s beautiful landscape, farmland and environment. We are also committed to working with individual landowners to accommodate their specific needs. Here are just three ways we are keeping our commitment to Ohioans: • We’ve incorporated protection of sensitive resources and avoidance of key land areas since the start of the project. We’ve conducted civil and environmental surveys and worked with federal, state and local officials to ensure a safe, protective route. • We’ve engaged local agronomists, drain tile experts and soil and water specialists and are meeting with individual landowners to ensure private property protections and full land restoration after the pipe is buried. • We’ve incorporated cutting-edge technology into our design to ensure safe planning, construction and operation of the pipeline project. We’ve awarded contracts to local manufacturers and construction companies that will employ highly-trained skilled workers for every inch of this pipeline. Safety is a core value of the project and our number one priority to the people of Ohio. “Pipelines have been proven to be the safest way to transport natural gas. So long as these proposed pipelines commit to long-term safety and integrity for our land, the Ohio State Grange will support them.” – The Toledo Blade, March 2015, letter by Lisa Tharp, Ohio State Grange Learn More About Rover’s Long-Term Commitments to Ohio Call the Rover Toll-Free Number 1-888-844-3718 RoverPipelineFacts.com Matthew H.

Virginia Tucker of Virginia Floor Cloth and Textile Company will lead this program on Saturday and Sunday, November 21 and 22. Block printing was a popular method of decorating cloth since ancient times. In the 19th Century, cloth imported from India was often block printed. Participants will take home a finished block, their own block printed scarf, as well as the knowledge to create more. All materials and supplies are included in the cost of the workshop. The workshop runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days, and will be held in the classrooms inside the visitor center at Fort Meigs. The cost is $130, or $120 for Ohio History Connections members.

Gary Samples Paid for by Gary Samples for Councilman Committee ➧Continued from page 1 be fully funded, we would be receiving an additional $3,141,351 in 2015-16 and every year thereafter. “Until the formula is revised and the guaranteed funding floor is removed, we will not see the funding that we should be receiving due to our student growth. Again, this would solve a lot of issues for us.” •Homestead and Rollback–real estate taxes have been projected with the growth of the incremental levy only, stated Mr. Feasel. Minimal growth from valuation growth or new construction has been factored in, he added. The 2016 calendar year collection has been increased by $975,000 and then redistributed based on a fiscal year (July-June) collection. The 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 fiscal years have been calculated using a 1 percent increase only. “The homestead and rollback amounts have been calculated on the same basis,” he added. “The incremental levy expires in December 2016.” •Other State–the district will see some variations on this line mostly due to the way that items have been funded this year compared to previous years–mainly the preschool program, said the treasurer. “Some of the adjustments that have been made here are the preschool, special education, transportation, casino proceeds and career tech funding,” he added. •Tangible Property Reimbursement–Mr. Feasel told the board that current state budget deliberations all have this reimbursement being eliminated. “I’ve included what has been certified to the district for the current fiscal year,” he said. “It is not a significant amount as you can see and significantly less than what we have received in the past. The current budget does not include funding for us beyond the current fiscal year, so it has been eliminated. If they continue funding it, it will be a bonus.” •Salaries and Wages–the 2015-16 estimate for salaries is more than what the district projected in the May forecast. Mr. Feasel told the board that staffing increases contributed to the majority of that difference. “We have experienced significant increases over the past several years that we will not be able to sustain for any length of time,” he continued. “Historically salaries have increased an average of 3.97 percent over the past 20 years. “In 2013-14, we saw salaries increase 6.22 percent and in 2014-15 the percentage of the increase rose to 7.88 percent. We are looking at the last two years to determine exactly what occurred and if that trend will and/or should continue.” The current salary projection is based on today’s actual staffing levels, compensation levels and insurance enrollment levels. •Fringe Benefits–fringe benefits traditionally run about 35 percent of the salaries, said Mr. Feasel. “The 2015-16 amounts are projected to come in around 35.2 percent and are based on actual enrollments and current staffing levels,” he added. “I am not anticipating any significant adjustments in our health/dental/prescription drug rates. The 2016-17 fringes have been estimated at 35 percent.” •Contracted Services– the treasurer told board members that the district is hoping to hold the line on purchased services over the next couple of years. “We’ve experienced several years of significant increases within the purchased services budget,” he said. “This year, we have actually projected a decrease due to shifting some staff from a contracted service arrangement with Lucas County to bringing them over to be employed with the district. Hopefully some of the additional staffing will reduce some of the special education services that we have contracted to outside sources.” •Supplies and Materials–the one-to-one initiative has had the most impact in the district’s supply and material budget, according to the treasurer. “The budget has experienced six grade levels of laptop purchases,” said Mr. Feasel. “This will be reduced to the normal three grade level purchase. We have also included a replacement rotation on the smartboards in the elementary buildings. That includes five smartboards per building per year. Estimated cost is $2,600 per board or $52,000 annually.” •Capital Outlay–the dis- trict does not see a lot of items being purchased out of the capital outlay budget. Mr. Feasel explained that the district increased its equipment threshold to $2,500 several years ago and then most items come out of the permanent improvement budget. •Other Dues and Fees–the treasurer said he projected slight increases in this area due to increases projected with real estate and income tax collections. Exchange Club supports school district SAPP program ➧Continued from page 1 Perrysburg, we don’t have those things in Perrysburg.’ But unfortunately in the six years I have been doing this, there was one year–just one year–that we didn’t have to report a case of abuse or neglect right here in Perrysburg.” In the program, the students are first educated on abuse, said Mrs. Davis, explaining that an abused child does not know any other behavior–the child thinks that everyone is treated that way. “The second thing we do is give them vocabulary so they can talk about it. They need to know what words to use to tell somebody what is happening,” she continued. “Then we tell the children that they have a right to be safe. And if they are being abused, they need to tell–it is alright to tell. They need to understand they will not get in trouble for telling. “We then work on a support system for the children–adults who they trust and feel comfortable talking with. “Always remember to tell–that is what we try to accomplish.” Kadee Anstadt, executive director of teaching and learning, thanked the Exchange Club for funding the program in the past several years. “This project is very, very important to us. Nancy does a great job going into all of our third grade classrooms dealing with a very delicate subject and handles it absolutely flawlessly,” she added. Presenting the check to the school district was Exchange Club Foundation president Myron Welch. “The Perrysburg Exchange Club has served the community since 1926 and is dedicated to the prevention of child abuse,” he told those attending the October meeting of the Perrysburg Board of Eduction. “We are pleased to be able to fund the SAPP program which supports our club’s mission of the prevention of child abuse. The Perrysburg Exchange Club Foundation board also includes Deb Buker, Chuck Elvers, Bob Obrock and Roger Shoffner. The club sponsors a student of the month and student of the year, Freedom Shrine Awards for junior high and elementary students, Book of Golden Deeds, “Give A Kid A Flag” promotion on Memorial Day and honors a city, township and county police officer and firefighter of the year along with other activities. -Deb Buker Twp. trustees review cost to repair roof at Community Center ➧Continued from page 1 prematurely. Mr. Celley said hopes to start mediation by the end of the year. “It’s out of our hands at this time,” added Mr. Mack. Mr. Britten suggested making repairs only where there are distinct holes. “Open holes should be filled, but there’s not much we can do about the ruts,” he said. •Approved a policy on procurement and purchas- PERRYSBURG TOWNSHIP FIRE DEPT.

Crunch time has arrived regarding Perrysburg Boat Club and the city of Perrysburg. The lease expires December 31, 2015, and the city has been unwilling to approve a new one. Therefore, at this point in time, absent other decisions, the club will vacate by or before December 31, and the city intends to tear down the building as soon as any legal requirements are met. A precious asset and tradition will be lost forever. Why? It is alleged that the building is unsafe and is not insurable in its present state. This is not a true statement. When the city and a group of citizens got together in 1937 to deal with the issue of vandalism and petty crime on the waterfront, they agreed to the formation of the Boat Club. The city provided the lease on the waterworks building for $1 a year. H It was a structurally sound but ugly building then. Over the years, through the many efforts of club members, including significant sums of money, it has been transformed into the attractive asset it is today. It is not only used by members, but by community nonprofits and others such as the ODNR. The new boat club undertook all maintenance and improvements at their cost from that period to date. The city does not pay for any of the maintenance or improvements for the club. With appropriate lease terms, justifying the cost of ongoing maintenance by the club, they would continue to perform as they have for almost 80 years. What a deal. H Proposed Community Building–The mayor has proposed the construction of a “community” building together with enhanced parking in the area of Hood Park. The estimated cost is $1.5 million. In addition to this capital cost, the city would have to determine whether they would hire employees to run whatever the activities are for this building or subcontract to an operator. The details on the ongoing operating costs, etc. are not known at this time. It is my opinion that council considers a select committee representing a broad spectrum of our city to evaluate all issues relative to the proposed actions on the riverfront. For example, such a committee could include representatives from the city, the council, Perrysburg Boat Club, Chamber of Commerce and community organizations such as the garden club, Historic Perrysburg and service clubs. Their charge would be to determine the community’s • Paul A. Skaff riverfront position regarding developments, i.e. no change, relatively minor improvements or large scale developments. Technical support could probably be secured from area universities. Perrysburg City Council should take action that will extend by one year the actions that might otherwise be taken to allow the select committee and the citizens at large time to get proper input to form appropriate decisions on the issues. The issue of the riverfront is likely to be the most important decision council will make going forward. As Yogi Berra once said, “It ain’t over ’til it’s over.” Richard F.

Leatherman 1921-2013 Serving the Community Since 1950 Wood County commissioners approve annexation to Rossford The annexation of a 143.5-acre parcel from Perrysburg Township to the City of Rossford was approved by the Wood County commissioners at the October 29 meeting. Earlier in the month residents of Glenwood and Lime City roads, adjacent to the property, addressed the Perrysburg Township trustees to express their disapproval of the planned annexation. Neighbors are concerned about the acreage being rezoned industrial, noting that the road is narrow and has a 10 to 12 ton weight limit. At the meeting, Trustee Bob Mack informed the resi- dents that there is little the trustees can do to thwart the annexation. “We don’t like to see the township shrinking,” he added. The annexation was sought by seven property owners: Carol Brossia Stephens, J. Scott Stewart, Matthew Warton, Jim and Robin Fuller, Charles Rinker and Randy Cole, executive director of the Ohio Turnpike Commission. The Glenwood parcels include three houses and vacant farmland. At a September 28 meeting, Rossford City Council agreed to annex the land, pledging to provide services to the annexed area. Perrysburg residents indicted by a Wood County grand jury On October 21, a Wood County grand jury indicted a two Perrysburg residents in separate incidents. They are James T. Jenkins Jr. and Leon Ramirez. Mr. Jenkins, 33, of Mandell Road, faces one count of safecracking, a fourth-degree felony, and petty theft, a firstdegree misdemeanor in the incident which allegedly between September 1 and 10 and involved stolen items valued at under $1,000. If convicted, he faces up to two years in prison and fines of $6,000. Mr. Ramirez, 35, of Washington Street, faces one count of felonious assault, a felony of the second degree, in an incident that allegedly occurred September 30. If convicted, he faces up to eight years in prison and fines of $15,000. Wood County Common Pleas Judge Reeve Kelsey will hear both cases.

What were you doing? Was your basement flooded? Was your power off? Record rainfall and wind were recorded on that day. Such was the setting for the outdoor wedding of Elizabeth Celley and Ryan Moore. They had planned a lovely wedding to take place in the backyard of Elizabeth’s grandparents, Ken and Betty Nesper. The ‘Historic Nesper Estate’ is on Hickory Street in Perrysburg. Elizabeth, the daughter of Walt and Kathy Celley, grew up on Hickory Street, and spent many hours playing at her grandparents’ home. Ryan, the son of Tom and Suellen Moore, also grew up in Perrysburg. Always ready for new adventure, they were not going to let a “little” rain spoil their day. At 4:30 p.m., that afternoon, amidst flooding, trees down, power outages, 150 hearty souls, friends and family of the bride and groom, gathered in a big wet tent to witness the long awaited union of Elizabeth and Ryan. The groom was attended to by his brothers, Zachary Moore of Perrysburg, and Johnny Moore of Washington, D.C. Elizabeth’s brother, John Celley, of Cimarron, New Mexico, was also a groomsman. Ryan’s best man was friend Dave Riley, of Perrysburg. Elizabeth’s “ladies” danced into the tent, from out of the rain to the tune “Girls just wanna have fun” by Cindy Lauper. Best Lady was Caroline Beans of Perrysburg, longtime friend of the bride. Also as an attendant was Sara Vitek of Howell, Michigan, cousin of the bride, and Randa Celley of Cimarron, New Mexico, sister-in-law of the bride. The bride’s favorite nephew, Bernard (nickname Bear) Celley was the ring “Bear.” A lovely ceremony, great food, great music, dancing and “muddy merriment” was the order of the memorable evening. Elizabeth and Ryan are making their home in Louisville, Kentucky. Elizabeth teaches seventh grade science in the Jefferson County School System. Ryan is in a management position with the Panera Bread Company. If, as the saying goes, “rain on your wedding day will bring good fortune,” Elizabeth and Ryan will be blessed “Forever Moore.” Ashley and Adam Hagenmayer celebrate first wedding anniversary Ashley Claire (Dolan) and John “Adam” Hagenmayer are celebrating their first wedding anniversary.

Jacob Brickner displays his first place Clock Award at the Ohio State Fair. 4H project wins national award at Purdue University Jacob Brickner took his 4H project from the Wood County Fair this summer to the Ohio State Fair and then to a national competition at Purdue University. The son of Don and LisaAnn Brickner, Jacob is homeschooled. The family are parishioners at St. Rose Catholic Church. Competing at the county fair, he earned first place for his 4-H project “Tune It Up,” which is the third year of small engines. He then went on to compete at the state fair where he earned the “Clock Trophy,” which is the 4-H equivalent of first place. A few weeks later, the Brickner family received a phone call revealing that Jacob had been chosen to represent Ohio in the National Youth Engineering Competition sponsored by Purdue University. He represented Ohio in the small engines category and earned first place. Jacob had to give a speech, take a written exam, take an exam labeling small engine parts, and perform in a hands-on competition where he was given three non-working Briggs and Stratton small engines that he had to fix and get them all running within 30 minutes. Jacob took first place in every category of his competition. Also, his Ohio team earned first place in the Engineering Bowl at the same competition. “It was a real honor to represent Ohio in this competition,” he said. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * American Legion Post 28 * * * Monday, November 9 • 6:00 p.m. * * Guest Speaker PHS Principal Dr. Short * * Adults $11 • 12 Years and under $7 * You need not be a veteran to attend. * You can pay at the door.

Born on May 3, 1923, to Clyde Lee and Mary Dashner Overholt in Covington, Virginia, she was preceded in death by her loving husband, Albert T. Spangler and her dear sister Shirley Clara Paben. It was Shirley who introduced Mary to Albert Spangler, who was stationed at the time with the U.S. Army in nearby White Sulphur Springs, Virginia. Mary and Al wed on June 8, 1946, and Al remained the love of her life for nearly 40 years, until his death in 1985. After their marriages, Mary and Shirley both settled in the Toledo area and enjoyed a special closeness and many wonderful memories with one another’s families. In marrying Al, Mary became a part of the large extended family of the Spangler Candy Company, several of whom lived nearby in Maumee for many years. Mary was always a champion of Dums Dums and the Company, and was so very proud to be a part of that family legacy. She enjoyed sharing Spangler candy with her friends, and loved taking people on tours of the factory in Bryan, Ohio. It seems she was almost destined to become a Spangler and had the requisite sweet tooth, as after high school she worked at Fishman’s Five and Dime in Covington–at the candy counter. She and Al enjoyed many wonderful family gatherings in both Maumee and Bryan, as well as at the family cottage at Clear Lake, Indiana. A devout Christian, Mary read her Bible daily and was an inspiring example of putting her Christianity into action. A lifelong member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Maumee, she was an active and devoted servant in many capacities, and was thrilled to once travel to the Holy Land. For several years she conducted the church nursery program from her basement and led Girl Scout and Cub Scout troops. She and Al also took in several foster children, always looking to give beyond themselves. Mary also served on the Altar Guild and Women’s Auxiliary for many years, and was an elected delegate to the church’s annual diocesan convention for several years as president of the Women’s Ecumenical Council. But perhaps her favorite service was that of running various departments for the church’s annual rummage sales, which she enjoyed doing up to her 90th birthday. Granting all this, it was Mary’s unbridled joy of living that will remain her greatest legacy. She was both magnanimous and humble–always taking a loving pride in what she had and sharing generously with others, particularly reaching out to those in sickness, sorrow, or need of any kind. She deeply loved her Maumee community and neighborhood, her home and gardens, and mostly her extended family, her church friends, and neighbors. She had a gleeful love of children, being honored as godparent to several and “Grandma Mary” to many. Her zest for living and trying new things was joyful–like going on a motorcycle ride with her son in her mid-eighties. And if you were an acquaintance of hers, you were a treasured friend. As one of her friends so aptly stated: “Mary, you epitomize ‘Love they neighbor’…” Always a smile, always something kind or nice to say, and a genuine love for each person, every day–this was her magic we will miss, but that will live on in all those who knew her. The family would like to thank all those who were a part of Mary’s life, as you were truly her joy. Special thanks to the wonderful staff and caretakers at Otterbein Portage Valley for making her home there so warm and special, and for their unending compassion and kindness. We are also grateful for the devoted care and professional care recently received from the nursing staffs at Gentiva Hospice and Right At Home Perrysburg. She is survived by her three children, James, Becki (Peyton Bland), and Stephen (Cindy), and by grandchildren, James, Amy, Stephanie, Thomas, Dawn, and Lindsey, as well as four great-grandchildren, Naia, Sarah, Olivia and Maren. Visitation was held November 1, at Maison-Dardenne-Walker Funeral Home, 501 Conant Street, Maumee. A Celebration of Life service was held November 2, at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 310 Elizabeth Street, Maumee. The family suggests that memorial contributions be made to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. Online condolences may be shared with the family at walkerfuneral homes.com.

The Panthers recovered an onside kick and drove down the field. Banks sacked Henry for a 12yard loss and on the next play Connor Meredith tackled a receiver short of the first down to give the Jackets the ball. Perrysburg milked the clock and drove 60 yards. Backus ran to his right and threw a six-yard touchdown pass to Jake Meyers. Maumee had one more possession that was stopped short when Bryce Gankosky intercepted Henry’s pass, allowing the Jackets to take a knee and finish the game with the score 49-21. The Yellow Jackets kept possession of the ding dong bell that goes to the winning school in the season-ending contest between the rivals. Players celebrated by painting the trophy black and gold and signing the bell, which will be displayed at the high school until next season’s match-up. Perrysburg also celebrated finishing the season with a perfect 10-0 record and as Northern Lakes League champions. For the second consecutive year, Perrysburg will host a first-round state playoff game. The Yellow Jackets will play North Ridgeville at Steinecker Stadium this Friday.

Congratulations! ********************************************************************************************************************************************************** Drs. Michael and Julie Zysik were grilling hot dogs at Pinnacle Eye Group’s annual Trunk Show held in October. The sports-themed show featured a tailgate party with food, games and raffles while customers shopped for glass frame savings. *********************************************** Classmates Tom English, left, and Michael Ives wear their varsity jackets for their 50th class reunion held last month–the Perrysburg High School Class of 1965. During the weekend reunion festivities, the class toured the Commodore Building and Mr. Ives described it as a time capsule. “I have to mention the walk-through of the old junior high building. It was so much fun,” he said. “Because it hasn’t been used in years as a school, it was an absolute time capsule. I looked down the hallways and it all came back–the lockers, old wood and the floors! “Floors worn and burnished, polished by years of teenage angst and saddle shoes. What a gift it was.” Each classmate was given a Michael Ives print of “ Perrysburg Pool, 1957.” ************************************************************************** “Perrysburg Pool, 1957” This painting depicts our local pool in Perrysburg, Ohio during the ’50s. It was a simpler more innocent time when we would ride our bikes to the pool early in the morning and pretty much spend the whole day. It was our home-away-from-home during the summer. I especially wanted to illustrate the long line of us boys going off the high board one after the other after the other in quick secession, so very against the rules! And there’s the snack bar with all the candy and ice cream we could ever eat. If we were lucky, we were hired to clean the pool area lawn and they’d let us in for the afternoon session free! Later in the day, we would ride our bikes home with our swimming trunks rolled up in our towels and stuffed in the center bar on our bikes. Recently on a visit to Perrysburg, I re-enacted that same scenario, riding the same route I did all those years ago...and I was 9 years old again. Dear classmates of 1965, I hope this painting brings back fond memories for you also and that we can always join each other at the old pool. -Mike Ives Kayla Piezer’s design for the City of Perrysburg Bicentennial logo will be featured on banners in downtown Perrysburg.

PHS cross country girls sweep league meet In dominating fashion, the Perrysburg High School girls cross country team captured its third consecutive Northern Lakes League championship trophy. On a very chilly morning at Secor Park, the team approached the mile mark with a large group of runners still in the race. During the middle mile of the 5k is where the Jacket runners made their move, and by the two-mile mark, the race was decided. Running away from the field with a half-mile left was Grace Lahey, who claimed the individual championship. Grace recorded the second fastest time in school history with her 18:40 effort. Closely behind and running an incredible time of 19:03 was Katie Gerber. Katie finished third overall. Emily Byrd was the team’s third finisher, fourth overall, with a time of 19:05. Running in her final NLL race, Katie Menke raced to a fifth place finish in a blistering time of 19:21. Lahey, Gerber, Byrd, and Menke all earned First Team All League honors for their efforts. The team’s final scorer was Kristin Alt. Kristin was ninth overall and ran 19:34 in only her third race of the season. Hallie Ruby (19:41) and Hannah Kloster (19:49) finished 10th and 12th, respectively, and both ran lifetime personal bests. The Jackets scored a very low team score of 22 points to better second place Northview who scored 51 points. Depth was the key to the team’s victory as all seven finishers landed a spot on the All League First or Second Team. In the JV race, the team shut out the rest of the league by having the top five finishers. The JV team scored a perfect score of 15 points. Leading the way in a time of 20:33 was Rachel Warne. Rachel made a big move around the 2.5-mile mark to secure the first place finish. Freshman Jesse Menke was second overall with a season-best time of 20:36. The third Jacket to cross the line, running in her first race of the season, was Ashley Madaras in 20:48. Senior Captain Brionnah Wyse finished fourth overall with a time of 21:19. Rounding out the scoring and securing the shutout by outkicking a Northview runner was Gabby Zysik in a time of 21:27. Meghan Grycza (21:38) and Maddie Myers (21:44) were the team’s sixth and seventh finishers. The Perrysburg High School freshman football team capped off a perfect 9-0 season on October 22, with a 38-8 dismantling of Napoleon. During league competition, the Northern Lakes League champion Yellow Jackets averaged 40 points per game while defensively surrendering only four points per game. The team dominated their opponents on both sides of the ball and were forced to punt only twice during the entire season. The Jacket coaches said the key to the perfect season was the hard work the players exhibited, starting with 6 a.m. workouts in June and July. Their efforts carried over throughout the season. Perrysburg Schools participating in Child Find program Girls in junior high STEM club visit O-I Perrysburg Junior High girls who are members of the STEM Club recently took a field trip to O-I.

Hurricane Joaquin relief efforts–supplies and monetary donations continue–more needed Supplies for daily living continue to be collected for the Hurricane Joaquin relief project as well as monetary donations. “We have a great start, but a ways to go if we want to meet our goal of 21,000 pounds of supplies,” said Jackie Venzel, who is coordinating the drive with her husband Bob. “We are also approaching our goal of $2,800 to provide 10,000 packets of six meals each–that’s 60,000 meals. We couldn’t do this size of an effort without ISOH/IMPACT.” The Venzel’s daughter, Stacey, 27, continues to live on Long Island, Bahamas, which was devastated by the Category 4 hurricane which sat over several islands for days. The Perrysburg High School graduate is helping bring supplies to the southern part of the island. To read about Ms. Venzel’s personal experiences before, during and after the hurricane, visit her blog at svenzel.wordpress.com. “After the hurricane, my friends and I made a trip to the hill with care packages of hygiene products, clothes and canned food. Children sprinted down to catch the truck before it made its trek upward,” she wrote on her blog. “We smiled and laughed and received countless gratitude as we distributed homemade lunches and cold drinks. Then the kids piled into the back of the truck like every hitchhiker on the island as we joined the rest of their families at the top of the hill.” “The families who dwell on the hill squished 11 people into a 200-square foot plywood abode that blew over like paper in a breeze when the raging hurricane winds hovered for days. In an instant, eleven people were homeless and yet not considered a priority for delivery of relief supplies.” Once Ms. Venzel’s parents finally heard their daughter’s voice–eight days after the hurricane hit–they began to focus their efforts on bringing some relief to the islanders. Stacey Venzel, far right, delivered relief supplies to a settlement in the southern part of Long Island, Bahamas, severely hit by Hurricane Joaquin, Category 4. “A group of kids met us at the bottom of the hill and joined us for the ride up to their homes where we unloaded the donations,” said Ms. Venzel. “We were out of touch with our daughter. It’s great to again hear from her regularly,” said Mr. Venzel. “Stacey is aware of our efforts and appreciative of the support from the Perrysburg community.” In an email she wrote to her parents and others involved–“A quick thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you all have done for an island you might not have known existed. It is truly humbling to have so much support, so many to lean on in this great time of need. We rebuild our homes, we rebuild our lives and we move on, though the memories stay with us. We could not rebuild without people like you.” “It’s amazing what we can find in our own homes that we have stocked or are no longer using. These Long Island residents would wel- come our extras,” Mrs. Venzel added. “Last month I just opened cabinets and took out extras I had stocked. Easily filled a couple of bags. Please open your hearts, open your cabinets. We appreciate every contribution.” Needs include, but are not limited to the following: Anti-bacterial soap, bandaids, batteries, brushes, buckets (5-gallon with lids), bug spray, combs, diapers, disinfectant wipes and liquids (not bleach), deodorant, duck tape, facial tissues, first aid creams, flashlights, gauze, laundry detergent, lotions, mops, paper towel, plastic bags (all sizes), Q-tips, razors, rope, rubber gloves, sanitary napkins, shaving cream, shampoo, sponges, tampons, toilet paper, toothbrushes, toothpaste. School supplies–backpacks, chalk, crayons, glue, markers, notepads, paper, pencils, pens, rulers, scissors, sharpeners. Canned or packaged food–baby food, beans, breakfast bars, fruit, infant formulas, juices, meats, nuts, oatmeal, peanut butter, pet food, powdered milk and drinks, quinoa, rice, soups, vegetables. No clothing will be accepted. Checks payable to ISOH/IMPACT will be used for supplies to make meal packets. Mail contributions to Jackie Venzel, 1583 Watermill Lane, Perrysburg, Ohio 43551.

It is a two-day camp designed to develop leadership skills and self-confidence to a cross-section of student leaders or potential leaders. Along with developing leadership skills, a strong emphasis is placed on anti-bullying awareness and prevention. Students were asked to sign a contract, agreeing to participate in all camp events and be willing to be pushed out of their comfort zone. “For some, this was not an easy task, but to see them accomplish the high ropes, the wall, the Pamper Pole and discuss activities was simply amazing. Overcoming their fears and instilling more self-confidence will help them become better leaders,” said Jackie Derr, HIPP advisor. During a planning session, the students took time to brainstorm ideas on what they could do upon returning to PJHS. The students decided to help with anti-bullying awareness, make PJHS a welcoming place and complete a community service project. The students are taking on the slogan: “Lead Today… Bring About Change.” To help support the H.I.P.P. program through a donation, visit the website at www.perrysburgschoolsfoundation.org. Advisors and students attending the program are, first row, from left: Luke Price, Ryleigh Petree, Caitlin Madigan, Carly Marquis, Mason Colon, Cori Lamere, Luke Knight, Chloe Friemoth, Annabel Shim. Second row: Sarah Valette, Hannah Davis, Trevor Dunham, Katy Slawinski, Hannah Hoverman, Rachel Barbano, Jordan Neifert, Mrs. Treece. Third row: Miss Derr, Drew Paule, Chris Grycza, Nate Stedman, Miller Zachel, Jordan Hood, Emma Chamberlin, Abigail Seiple, Ms. Snow and Mr. Ferguson. Lahey, Lady Jackets win district cross country title In convincing fashion, the Perrysburg High School girls cross country team ran away with the district title at Pearson Park on Saturday, October 24. Grace Lahey was the individual champion in a time of 19:22. Lahey took charge of the race at the two-mile mark and won by 19 seconds. Finishing second overall in a time of 19:41 was Emily Byrd. She battled with a runner from Ashland and claimed the runner up spot with a very strong last half mile. Finishing fourth overall in a time of 19:55 was Katie Gerber. Kristin Alt was the team’s fourth finisher, placing sixth overall, in a time of 20:12. Alt continues to improve every week and looks to break into the nineteen-minute range at the regional meet. Katie Menke was 10th overall in a time of 20:30 and helped secure a team finish that saw all of Perrysburg’s scorers among the top 10 finishers. Hannah Kloster continued a strong string of races running a time of 20:56 and earned honorable mention, all district honors. Hallie Ruby crossed the line in a time of 21:00, and much like Kloster, earned district honorable mention accolades. The team beat Findlay by a margin of 64 points and dominated the team race. Perrysburg has won the district cross country title three consecutive years. PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL — November 4, 2015 — Page 15 BUSINESS SERVICES NOTICE TO CONSUMERS CONCRETE WORK.

With this much to love, who would need anyone else? I'm best at being a perfect, contented housecat. If you wouldn't mind, I would like to take a nap or two at your house!

I am a very sweet, down to earth kind of dog who just wants to be petted and loved by you. Originally I am from another organization, and the fine folks here at WCHS helped not only me but a few of my friends as well! I tend to be a little shy when we first meet, but hey who isn't? I will open up my heart within just a few minutes of meeting. With me being a hound mix, I am very curious of every little noise anything makes!
