ROSSFORD, WOOD COUNTY, OHIO
Past • Present • Future
By Beth Church
Murder charges are
pending against a Rossford
man who allegedly assaulted his wife in the garage of
their Eagle Point Colony
home last weekend.
Daniel Lambert, 52, of
411 Riverside Drive, was
arrested early Saturday,
May 16, and charged with
felonious assault, a seconddegree felony, police said.
His wife, Cathryn “Cat”
Lambert, 51, died Sunday in
the hospital from massive
head injuries she sustained
during what police believe
to be a domestic violence
incident.
Mr. Lambert appeared
Monday for an arraignment
in Perrysburg Municipal
Court, with the Wood
County prosecutor’s office
indicating that additional
charges will be filed.
He is being held in Wood
County jail on a $500,000
bond.
A 9-1-1 call was received
around 8 p.m. on Friday,
May 15, from Mr. Lambert
who said his wife was
unconscious and bleeding in
the garage of their home.
“It was readily apparent
that it didn’t look accidental, it didn’t look like a fall,”
Rossford Police Chief
Glenn Goss said.
Rossford EMS transported Mrs. Lambert to St.
Vincent Mercy Medical
Center. She was admitted in
critical condition and died
Sunday.
our Service
People
Goss explained.
The Lamberts rented the
home, which is owned by
Frank
and
Rebecca
Zemanski of Perrysburg
Township.
They lived alone in the
house, and have two adults
sons who reside out of
town.
The couple had been in
Rossford for about three
years, and previously were
Toledo residents, according
to the chief.
Chief Goss said his
department has no record of
previous calls for domestic
disputes or violence at that
address.
Mr. Lambert works at an
area distribution center, the
chief said.
Mrs. Lambert was the
founder of the Wheresthe
Cat.com website featuring a
greater Toledo calendar of
events, especially promoting local musicians and
artists.
Her sons, Matthew and
Michael Lambert, have created
a
gofundme.com
account to collect donations
for a memorial service.
“She was passionate
about her website wheres
thecat.com and the city
where she lived, and
enjoyed sharing stories
about those that she worked
with, and the friends she
made in the community
through that venture,” they
wrote.
“Our mom is going to be
deeply missed by the many
people who loved her.”
Any money raised above
the cost of the memorial
service will be donated to
the Ohio Domestic Violence
Network.
Chief Goss said this is
the
first
murder
in
Rossford’s history in which
a suspect was arrested.
Although the department
does not have detailed
records of it, the police
chief has heard that a murder-suicide might have
occurred during the 1970s
but no one was arrested
because the suspect and victim both died.
Memorial Day will be
celebrated in Rossford with a
parade and ceremony at 1:30
p.m., Sunday, May 24 to
honor veterans.
The Memorial Day
parade begins at 1:30 p.m. in
downtown Rossford, marching to Veterans Memorial
Park and concluding with a
special ceremony.
The guest speaker for the
ceremony
is
Sharon
Belkofer, Rossford native
and mother of three military
servicemen.
Her son Tom, a U.S.
Army lieutenant colonel,
died while serving in
Afghanistan in 2010.
The 18-year Army veteran had served in Kuwait,
training after the Gulf War,
and for a year in Afghanistan.
In preparation for a second tour with the 10th
Mountain Division light
infantry, he was killed when
a suicide vehicle-born improvised device exploded near
the NATO convoy in Kabul.

Joseph “Moe” Minarcin,
first vice commander, will
read the names of all the fallen veterans from the
Rossford, Ross Township
and Perrysburg Township
areas.
American Legion and
VFW members who passed
away during 2013 and 2014
also will be noted, he said.
Parade Begins at 1:30 p.m.
The parade begins at 1:30
p.m., with American Legion
Post 533 and Veterans of
Foreign Wars Post 6409 stepping off at the corner of
Superior and Elm streets.
The parade will march
west on Superior to Eagle
Point Road, along Hannum
Avenue and end at Veterans
Memorial Park for a ceremony.
Between 20 to 30 local
veterans will participate in
the parade, according to
Richard DeVaul, American
Legion commander and adjutant who is organizing the
Memorial Day celebration.
The Rossford High
School band will play in the
parade and will be joined by
several Boy Scout and Girl
Scouts troops and community leaders, he said.
Following the ceremony
at the park, the American
Legion post at 145 Bergin
Street will host an open
house. Food and beverages
will be served, and the public
is invited to attend.
In case of rain, there will
be no parade, and the ceremony will take place at the
Rossford High School fieldhouse at 1:30 p.m.
Poppy Day Sale Friday
The American Legion
Ladies Auxiliary will hold its
annual Poppy Day sale on
Friday, May 22, from 7 a.m.
to 6 p.m.
Legion and Auxiliary
members will be at various
Rossford businesses offering
poppies and collecting donations, which are used for veterans.
ble every other week.
Council heard a first reading of an ordinance at a May
11 meeting that proposes the
following regulations:
•Trash and food waste
should be contained in trash
bags and not loose in the
cart.
•One bulk item per
household may be placed out
for collection each week.
•Containers should be set
out no sooner than 5 p.m. the
day before collection.
•The carts should be
placed outside of any fence
or other barrier along the
curb or property line, with
the lids opening toward the
street, allowing at least three
feet between each container
and other objects.
•Containers should be
removed from streets and
alleys by 7 p.m. on the day of
collection.
•Carts shall be kept or
placed at the rear of the
house of building or in passageways behind the front
building line.
•Whoever violates these
regulations can be fined up
to $100 if found guilty.
Council will continue to
discuss the regulations at its
next meeting.
Council member Caroline
Zuchowski Eckel pointed
out that the 7 p.m. deadline
to remove carts may be too
early for residents who work
later.
Parking on Lawns
Prohibited
Heading into graduation
party season, the city is prohibiting all parking of vehicles on lawns.
Previously, the city law
allowed a six-hour window
for vehicles to be parked on
the grass.
Council approved an
ordinance that does not
allow a vehicle, motorcycle,
boat or recreational vehicle
to be wholly or partially
parked on any unpaved area
in the front yard of any property in a residential district.

Council proposes rules for new refuse carts
As the new garbage and
recycling carts roll out to the
curbs, Rossford City Council
is discussing rules for how
residents should store the
wheeled containers.
Beginning the week of
June 1, the City of Rossford
and Waste Management officially will begin a new solid
waste and recycling collection program.
The new system uses 96
gallon carts with wheels for
trash and recycling collection services.

Cries for help
heard from garage
By Beth Church
On the evening Cathryn
Lambert was fatally assaulted, shouting and cries of help
were heard in her neighborhood–more than an hour
before 9-1-1 was called.
The owner of a local lawn
service business was mowing Friday evening at a nearby house on Riverside Drive.
Unloading his equipment
between 6:15 and 6:30 p.m.,
he heard several raised voices.
“It’s always extremely
quiet, and there’s no traffic
there,” he noted. “I heard a
man and then a higherpitched voice, like a woman
or kids. It went on for a couple minutes. But I couldn’t
make out what they were
saying.”
“I thought it was unusual
because no one ever yells
back there,” explained the
man, who has mowed lawns
in the Colony for 20 years.
However, when finished
with the lawn about 7:45
p.m. and loading up his trailer, he again heard “some
commotion.”
“I thought, ‘that’s the
same guy’s voice,’” he said.
The person was crying,
“help me, help me.”
The lawn maintenance
man, who asked not to be
identified, picked up his cell
phone from his truck, and
walked down the street to
determine the location of the
cries.
“It got quiet again, and
then I heard, ‘help me, help
me.’”
He then went down the
driveway of the Lambert residence and into the garage
through the open door.
“I came around the corner, and he [Daniel Lambert]
was sitting on the floor next
to her,” he recalled. “I could
see her chest moving, she
was breathing. She was lying
in a big pool of blood.”
Mr. Lambert was on his
cell phone. The man questioned whether it was 9-1-1
that he was calling, and Mr.
Lambert responded that it
was.
The witness decided he
would call 9-1-1 to verify.
His cell phone first con-
Mrs. Belkofer is a Gold
Star Mother–those who have
lost a son or daughter in the
service of the country.
“Tom took us across the
country with his posts and
even to Italy and Germany,”
she recalled. “Everywhere
we went, it was such a privi-
lege to be among such gentle
but determined and committed young men and women.”
Mrs. Belkofer and her
husband Don, also have two
sons–Don who served in the
U.S. Navy and Doug who
served in the Army National
Guard.
She worked at St. Charles
Hospital for 39 years, including 20 years as the manager
of the emergency department. She started the hospital’s level three trauma program and Mobile Medic
ambulance service.
An RHS graduate, she
received her nursing diploma
from St. Vincent School of
Nursing and earned a degree
in health care administration
from Heidelberg College.

meeting, as well as other
military-related functions.

River to Lucas County
9-1-1, which redirected him
to the Rossford dispatcher.
“I asked them if they
were already on the phone
with someone about what
happened at 411 Riverside,”
he explained, and the dispatcher responded that they
were.
While waiting, he talked
to Mr. Lambert.
“I asked him, ‘what happened here?’ He [Mr.
Lambert] said, ‘I hadn’t seen
her in awhile, and I came out
to the garage and found her
like this.’”
The lawn maintenance
man then waited outside the
garage to flag down police
and EMS when they arrived.
Once they pulled in, he
helped a Rossford police
officer push one of the
Lambert vehicles out of the
garage to allow medical
responders better access to
her.
Upon leaving, the man
encountered a neighbor who
asked what was happening
and why the police and EMS
were there.
He explained about the
tragedy, and then asked
whether she had heard anyone yelling for help.
“She said she had, but she
didn’t do anything,” he
recalled. “I couldn’t believe
that–that someone wouldn’t
do anything to help.”

Reception to honor
Ed Ciecka’s retirement
Rossford City Administrator Ed Ciecka will be honored on
his retirement with a reception on Tuesday, May 26.
The public is invited to the reception, which will take place
in the lobby of the municipal building, following the 7 p.m.
city council meeting.
This will be Mr. Ciecka’s last council meeting before he
retires.
City police officers honored, promoted
Rossford Mayor Neil MacKinnon III honored four police
officers at the May 11 meeting of Rossford City Council.
After 21 years with the police department, Detective
Sergeant Todd Kitzler, above left with the mayor, is resigning to become deputy chief of police in Whitehouse.
Detective Kitzler began his law enforcement career
with the city in 1994, and has since successfully closed
numerous criminal cases with arrests and convictions.
The mayor read a proclamation thanking the detective
for his service.
He was promoted to sergeant in 2002, “gaining the
respect of his fellow officers and becoming a source of
information for them whenever needed,” the mayor said.
He was appointed a detective in 2011 “where his determination and undercover skills made him an outstanding
investigator.”
Sergeant Craig Revill, an 18-year veteran of the department, will take over investigations as the city’s new detective, replacing Sgt. Kitzler who is leaving later this month.
He is shown, above right, with the mayor.
Officer Patrick Kwiatkowski was promoted to sergeant
and was sworn in by Mayor MacKinnon.
Sgt. Kwiatkowski has been a member of the RPD for
four years. Below left, his wife Christina pins on his new
badge.
Officer Anthony Allen, an Afghanistan war veteran with
the Ohio National Guard and a part-time police officer with
Rossford for the past year, was appointed as a full-time
officer. He is shown below right with the mayor.
The council meeting took place during National Police
Week, and Mayor MacKinnon also read a proclamation
honoring law enforcement officers who “serve a vital role
in protecting our freedoms and liberties.”
He recalled that Rossford Patrolman Clifton Miller died
on May 14, 1966 in the line of duty during a vehicle pursuit, and Patrolman Richard Almester was shot and seriously wounded on October 10, 1977 during a traffic stop.
“It is important that all citizens know and understand
the duties, responsibilities, hazards, and sacrifices of
their law enforcement agency,” Mayor MacKinnon said.

kindness and sensitivity
when he helped an opponent have the excitement of
a match win.
Mat surprised everyone
who couldn’t understand
what he was doing, when
clearly he could have won.
But then our Bulldogs frequently surprise us, don’t
they? And his actions went
further than that. He
inspired others to do the
same.
Thanks,
Mat,
for
reminding me of why I am
so proud to be a senior

Strides walk draws 3,000; Rossford team raises $2,500
The American Cancer Society’s annual Making Strides Against Breast
Cancer event on May 9 drew about 3,000 walkers and raised $75,000.
The non-competitive 5K walk unites the community in an effort to celebrate breast cancer survivors, educate people about how to reduce their
cancer risk and raise funds for research and treatment.
The event took place at the Town Center at Levis Commons. It featured
music, area mascots, a photo booth and entertainment. There also was a
survivors’ tent honoring and pampering breast cancer survivors.
Casey Pogan, marketing director for the Town Center at Levis Commons, who helped to coordinate Strides this year, described it as “a fun
morning of celebrating survivors and raising funds for the American Cancer Society.”
A Rossford Schools team participated in the walk, raising $2,419 of
their $2,500 goal, which ranked them fifth of 88 teams.
“Several people brought cash donations the day of the walk, so I am
confident that we reached our team goal,” said Martha Fellman, RHS
teacher.
The Rossford Association of Classroom Teachers sponsored the team,
as well as Rossford High School student council, advised by Graciela
Sofo and Katie Grinonneau.
Donations still are being accepted by the American Cancer Society.

Springfield Township couple raises awareness about
prescription drug abuse through art exhibit, film festival
These bright paintings, the work of Greg Justus of Maumee, were among nearly 60
pieces of artwork available for purchase with proceeds benefiting the Rx Epidemic
Memorial Foundation.
Is the United States
becoming a society of drug
abusers?
Kyle and April Schalow
of Springfield Township,
concerned that the nation is
heading in that direction,
have taken it upon themselves to make everyone
aware of the dangers of
drug abuse and misuse.
The couple founded the
Rx Epidemic Memorial
Foundation, a local nonprofit organization, dedicated to community outreach
and education on the
impact of prescription drug
abuse.
To raise awareness and
money for the organization,
they are hosting the Stigma
art exhibit at the Maumee
Indoor Theater. Sponsored
by Northwest Ohio Chiropractic Association, Glass
City Grind and Nuestra
Gente Community Projects,
the art show runs through
May 27.
Nearly 60 area artists
contributed work with
many pieces addressing the
issue of addiction and its
impact on families and
society as a whole.
“Stigma is a condemning attitude often driven by
fear and ignorance,” said
Mr. Schalow. “The exhibit
is an attempt to create literacy–or at least create the
conversation.”
The art exhibit opened
with producer/director
Michael Deleon presenting
the documentaries “Doctored” and “An American
Epidemic.”
Mr. Schalow hopes the
films will encourage a public dialog about the prescription drug epidemic,
noting that no part of the
country is immune from the
problem.
Mr. Deleon agreed. A
former addict and later a
drug counselor, he knows
all too well the problem
with drug abuse.
“I lost four kids in 10
days to heroin overdose,”
he said, adding that the
films were created to tell
their stories and that of
countless others nationwide. Adults between 19
and 27 comprise the greatest number of deaths due to
overdose followed by the
44 to 50 age bracket.
The filmmaker traversed
the country, interviewing
more than 500 people in 40
states. He described drug
abuse as “pandemic” in
West Virginia and Tennessee and said drug abuse
in California is “unbelievable.”
He was quick to point
out that the problem exists
in every state and knows no
socio-economic borders.
Mr. Deleon predicts a
dire forecast. “I really
believe we haven’t seen the
worst of it [drug abuse].“
He credits government
regulation for limiting
access to prescription
drugs, but said it has forced
addicts to seek other viable
options–the cheapest of
which is heroin.
In the midst of what he
believes to be a nationwide
opiate epidemic, a movement is being pushed to
legalize marijuana.
“It’s a perfect storm for
addiction,” he added.
Tobacco, a legal drug,
kills 493,000 people annually. “That’s more than
alcohol, drugs and illicit
drugs combined,” he said.
“If we accept marijuana
like tobacco and alcohol,
I’m scared to death to think
what will happen,” the
filmmaker continued.
Mr. Deleon believes this
should be a call to action.
“Ask, ‘What can I do to
make a difference?’ Everyone can make a difference,
and everyone can get
involved.”
He suggested that parents change the conversation around the dinner
table, noting that nine out
of 10 children start abusing
drugs as teens or younger,
when their brains are particularly susceptible to it.
Teen years are challenging for youth who are trying to find acceptance
among their peers or seeking an escape from pain, he
explained. They turn to
drugs as a coping mechanism.
“They seek a solution in
drugs, but it only gives
them more problems,” he
said.
Contributing to the epidemic is social media. “It
has dynamically changed
education and how kids
cope. He added, “You can
order drugs online.”
Mr. Deleon believes
pharmaceutical ads play a
role in prescription drug
abuse. He pointed out that
people used to visit a doctor who reviewed their
symptoms and determined
treatment. Today, patients
tell the doctor their symptoms and ask for a specific
drug.
He also worries that
society may be too quick to
medicate children with
drugs such as Ritalin or
Adderall instead of seeking
other treatment.
“We’re a pill society. We
even flavor pills to kids liking,” he pointed out.
The filmmaker is concerned that medicating children at a young age could
lead to a drug problem in
later years.
Researching for his
films, Mr. Deleon discovered a change in the location and degree of abuse of
opiates and heroin, which is
prevalent in rural and suburban areas.
“For many, abuse of prescription medication begins
in the medicine cabinet,” he
said, adding that as those
medicines become less
readily available, addicts
turn to illegal drugs such as
heroin.
“Addiction: A Shelter for the Needy,” was created by
Rebecca Rae Tansel of Toledo for the art show which is
at the Maumee Indoor Theater through May 27.
“Heroin went from
taboo to chic,” he said and
pointed out that once a person is on heroin, “it is nearly impossible to get off of
it. One in 10 won’t survive.”
Mr. Deleon believes
insurance policies–which
typically only offer short
term treatment–need to be
modified. “It takes at least
90 days for treatment,” he
said, adding that 14 years
in prison saved him.
He recalled his own
struggle with addiction. “I
lost an executive job with a
Fortune 5000 company. I
had a stellar life.”
Grateful that he is not a
statistic, he noted that one
person dies every 19 minutes from an overdose.
“The economic impact is in
the billions,” he added.
The filmmaker seeks to
convey his message to
schools nationwide, but is
often turned away by
school officials who don’t
believe there is a problem
in their districts. “It’s
everywhere,” he countered.
“We’re losing people
left and right, and it’s only
going to get worse. Schools
are not addressing the
issue.”
Convincing schools to
aggressively attack the
problem is only a small part
of the solution.
Mr. Deleon concluded,
“We’re accepting things in
this country that we’ve
never accepted before, and
it’s scary. This is the worst
public health crisis ever in
our country.”

Rep. Brown votes to expand statute of limitations for prosecuting rape, sexual battery
The Ohio House of
Representatives recently
passed legislation co-sponsored by State Representative Tim Brown that
extends the limitation time
for prosecuting rape or
sexual battery from 20 to
25 years.
Current law prohibits
prosecution of offenses
like rape and sexual battery after 20 years of the
ROSSFORD RECORD JOURNAL — May 21, 2015 — Page 3
committed of five years
after the determination.
“This bill will provide
law enforcement and prosecutors around the state
more time to find the perpetrators of these heinous
crimes,” said Rep. Brown.
“We hope to see even more
offenders removed from
society and locked away.”
Beyond just rape or sexual battery, House Bill 6
also includes conspiracy or
attempt to commit, or complicity in committing, rape
or sexual battery.
A piece of priority legislation for House Republicans, HB 6 passed with
vast bipartisan support in
both the House Judiciary
Committee and on the
House floor. It now will go
to the Ohio Senate for further consideration.

Wood County joins national initiative Karen Swartz Walk May 30
The Friends of Wood Schools in 1995, became a
to increase mental health literacy
County CASA will hold the CASA/GAL volunteer and
annual Karen Swartz Memo- advocate for numerous chil-
The Wood County Educational Service Center is initiating the Youth Mental Health
First Aid program throughout
Wood County. The next class
will be held on May 30, from
8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the
WCESC.
The purpose of the training is to improve mental
health literacy by helping
adults identify, understand
and respond to signs of mental illness in youth and young
adults ages 12 to 18.
Youth Mental Health First
Aid is an eight-hour training
certification course which
teaches participants a fivestep action plan to assess a
situation, select and implement interventions and secure
appropriate care for the individual. The certification program introduces participants
to risk factors and warning
signs of mental health problems, builds understanding of
their impact and overviews
common treatments. The
CPR-like program aims to
improve trainees’ knowledge
of mental disorders, reduce
stigma and increase the
amount of help provided to
others.
“Youth Mental Health
First Aid will help anyone
who works or volunteers with
youth, including coaches,
scout leaders, bus drivers and
others, to identify when a
young person is struggling
and know what to say to
them,” said Angela Patchen,
Wood County’s Project
AWARE program manager.
“Youth who are acting out get
identified for treatment immediately. We also need to

might be struggling in silence,
to reach out to them and let
them know that the community cares and is here to help.”
This training is made possible by Project AWARE
(Advancing Wellness And
Resilience in Education) grant
funding received by the Ohio
Department of Education
from the federal government’s Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA).
Wood County is one of
three Ohio counties selected
to promote Youth Mental
Health First Aid in local
schools and communities.
WCESC’s Youth Mental
Health First Aid instructors
will train 150 people per year
for the next five years.
Participants in classes will
include teachers, school staff,
first responders and other
members of the community.
The National Council certified eight Wood County
ESC staff to provide the
Youth Mental Health First
Aid program in January 2015
through a 40-hour instructor
certification course in
Lebanon, Ohio. Wood County
ESC and all the sites across
the nation that replicate this
program maintain strict fidelity to the original, proven program.
There is no charge to

Law Director Kevin Heban.
Rental Property Inspection
Discussed
Council’s zoning committee met May 5 with a group
of rental property owners
and managers to discuss the
proposed program to register
and inspect all rental units in
the city.
Zoning inspector Mark
Zuchowski opened the meeting the proposed ordinance.
“After his explanation of
what was driving this legislation, they for the most part
understood the intent, however were not happy with the
proposed fee schedule,” said
Councilman Greg Marquette,
who chairs the zoning committee.
“After some good dialogue, the committee agreed
to look at waiving yearly
fees, but still imposing a
onetime registration fee for
rental properties. It is the
intent of the committee to
put in front of council a document that is both beneficial
made the top 10 lists, students graduated. On the
other, though, war was literally just around the corner.”
The exhibit will focus
on some of the interesting
aspects of daily life such
as what people did for fun
or what they ate, as well as
telling the pre-war story.
One way that this theme
will be illustrated is
through the Burnham High
School (Sylvania) class of
1940. Through photos and
news clippings, many of
the students from that
graduating class will be
to our community, but one
that can be accepted on good
terms by the rental property
owners.”
Councilman Marquette
said he is meeting with Mr.
Zuchowski and city administrators Ed Ciecka and Mike
Scott to develop a fee schedule and enforcement section
of the ordinance.
Council heard a second
reading of the ordinance at
last week’s meeting and is
schedule to vote on it next
week.
Other Business
In other business, council:
•Agreed to sell for $200 a
vacant parcel on Osborn
Street to neighbors of the
property.
Mr. Ciecka said the
neighbors had entered into a
land contract to purchase the
property, but lost their
investment when the parcel
went into an estate and was
foreclosed upon and turned
over to the city.
“The neighbors have been
using the property for over
10 years,” he explained.
“They cut the grass and
shovel the snow.”
He noted the 30-foot lot
is not large enough for a
home to built on it.
The city has paid about
$200 in property taxes on the
lot, he added.

In addition to the temporary exhibit, a new permanent exhibit also is

ODNR predicts good fishing in 2015 for Lake Erie anglers
Anglers in pursuit of Lake
Erie’s sport fish should experience another successful year as
they pursue a variety of fishing
opportunities in 2015, according to Ohio Department of
Natural Resources (ODNR).
“Similar to 2014, we expect fishing to be good again
this year, especially when you
consider the mix of species
and sizes that are seasonally
available to Ohio anglers on
Lake Erie,” said Jeff Tyson,
Lake Erie fisheries program
manager for the ODNR Division of Wildlife. “While fishing success will vary among
species and seasons, the lake’s
population of walleye, yellow
perch, black bass, white bass
and steelhead are all stable,
with a very broad distribution
of sizes for each species.”
As a result of the 2015
quota allocation, the walleye
daily bag limit is four and the
yellow perch daily bag limit is
30 per angler in Ohio waters
of Lake Erie until April 30.
The daily bag limit will be six
walleye from May 1 through
February 28, 2016. From
March 1 through April 30,
2016, the daily walleye bag
limit will be four. A 15-inch
minimum size limit is in effect
during the entire season for
walleye.
The yellow perch daily bag
limit is 30 from May 1
through April 30, 2016, with
no minimum size limit. Lake
Erie anglers can find walleye
and yellow perch bag limit information at ODNR offices, in
special publications at bait and
tackle shops and at wildohio.gov.
Lake Erie walleye and yellow perch fisheries are managed through an interagency
quota system that involves
Ontario, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction
regulates their catches to comply with quotas and minimize
the risk of over-fishing these
species. Quotas for the upcoming fishing season are determined through consensus
agreement by these jurisdictions through the Lake Erie
Committee of the Great Lakes
Fishery Commission, which
were just recently announced
for 2015.
Walleye
Ohio walleye anglers in
2015 will catch fish mostly
from the 2011, 2010, 2009,
2007 and 2003 hatches, with
some fish from the 2008 and
2012 year classes. Walleye
from the moderate 2010 hatch
will range from 18 to 23
inches, while walleye from the
2007 hatch will be more than
20 inches. The 2003 and 2007
hatches are likely to carry
most of the Central Basin fisheries. These walleye will contribute to the population that
has a good number of fish over
the 26-inch range. Large walleye from the strong hatch in
2003 will continue to provide
“Fish Ohio” opportunities
(greater than 28 inches), with
this year class nearing the size
that may give Ohio a new state
record walleye.
Yellow Perch
Expect good perch fishing
in 2015, with the largest fish in
the eastern areas of the Central
Basin. Perch anglers should
encounter fish ranging from 7
to 13 inches from the 2012
through 2007 hatches in this
year’s fishery, with major contributions from the 2012,
2010, and 2008 year classes.
Fish from the average-to-better hatch in 2007 will contribute fish in the greater than
10-inch range.
Black Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing in
2015 is expected to be fair but
improving. Smallmouth bass
catch rates increased in 2014
compared to 2013 and were
the highest observed since the
mid-1990s. Smallmouth bass
caught should be excellent
size (14 to 22 inches, weighing up to 6 pounds). The best
fishing for smallmouth bass
will continue to occur in areas
with good bottom structure,
which is the available habitat
across much of the entire Ohio
nearshore area and islands
areas. Continuing the trend
from previous years, largemouth bass fishing should be
excellent in 2015. This emerging fishery is producing high
catch rates and some large fish
in nearshore areas and harbors
Suzette L. Huenefeld, M.D.
PERRYSBURG FORT MEIGS
FAMILY PRACTICE
across Ohio’s Lake Erie. All
black bass (smallmouth and
largemouth) must be immediately released from May 1
through June 26, 2015. Beginning June 27, 2015, the daily
bag limit for bass will be five,
with a 14-inch minimum
length limit.
Steelhead
Steelhead anglers should
enjoy another year of great
fishing in 2015 in Ohio’s Lake
Erie open waters and in tributaries. Peak summer steelhead
action on Lake Erie can be
found offshore from June
through August between Vermilion and Conneaut, with
catches measuring 17 to 29
inches. Most Lake Erie anglers troll for steelhead in deep
waters using spoons with
divers or downriggers until
fish move close to shore in the
fall. The daily bag limit remains at five fish per angler
from May 16 through Aug. 31,
2015, and two fish per angler
between Sept. 1, 2015, and
May 15, 2016. A 12-inch minimum size limit is in effect
throughout the year.
White Bass
White bass continue to
provide excellent seasonal
fishing opportunities in the
Maumee and Sandusky rivers
and in the open lake. The 2015
catch will be dominated by
fish from the 2012, 2011 and
2010 year classes. Fish from
2007 could be as large as 16
inches. Anglers should focus
on major Western Basin tributaries during May and June
and nearshore areas of the
open lake during the summer.
There is no white bass daily
bag limit or size limit.
Other Species
Bays, harbors and main
lake shorelines offer excellent
fishing for panfish, as well as
occasional northern pike and
muskellunge in vegetated
areas.
Anglers are reminded that
fishing conditions on Lake
Erie can change hourly, and
adjustments are often necessary to improve success. Anglers should take into account
factors such as water temperature, cloud cover, water clarity,
boat traffic, wave action, structure, currents and the amount
of baitfish in the area. Anglers
are also reminded to carefully
monitor Lake Erie weather
and to seek safe harbor before
storms approach.

DECA holds employer
appreciation breakfast
Students enrolled in the
Penta Career Center DECA
program hosted an employer
appreciation program on May
7. The breakfast is held annually at Holland Gardens in
Holland to recognize employers for their support of the
marketing education program
through employment of
DECA students.
Lance Hawkins of Rossford High School served as
master of ceremonies and Autumn Stevens of Perrysburg
High school introduced
guests.
Springfield High School
student Andrew Brownlee offered a reflection prior to the
breakfast.
A highlight of the program
was the awards of distinction
presented to two companies.
Receiving the 2015
awards were Men’s Wearhouse and the Mirror newspaper.
Springfield High School
student Jennifer Chang is employed by the men’s retail
store managed by A.J. Miller
at the Shops at Fallen Timbers.
Since the opening of the
store, the company has regularly employed marketing students, explained Jillian
Jernas, of Anthony Wayne
Schools, who presented the
award.
“A.J. and his staff provide
valuable training and advice
for students in the areas of
customer service, merchandising and sales, and they motivate the students to be their
best in the workplace,” she
said.
In addition to his role as
employer, Mr. Miller has
been a guest speaker in class,
sharing his expertise in professional attire with students
as they prepare to enter the
business world.
“A.J. also has volunteered
as a DECA judge countless
times, taking time out of his
busy schedule to evaluate students as they present their solutions to marketing and
management problems,” Jillian added.
DECA students then presented all of their employers
with certificates of apprecia-
tion and a special mug recognizing the career center’s 50th
anniversary this year.
The certificates read, in
part, that employers are “recognized by Penta Career Center as having contributed
guidance, inspiration and support to students enrolled in
the marketing education program. We appreciate your effort in working cooperatively
with the teacher/coordinator
in preparing students for careers in marketing and management.”
Recognized for their support of the DECA marketing
program at RHS were the

The annual Historic Homes Tour, presented by Perrysburg Area Historic Museum
(PAHM), will be held Saturday, June 13, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The tour includes six
homes listed in C. Robert Boyd’s book, “Images of America: Perrysburg Historic Architecture.”
The homes on tour are the Yeager House (1830s), 343 West Indiana Avenue; the
Perrin House (1845), 510 West Front Street; the John Hood House (1850), 337 West
Second Street; the Old Rheinfrank Hospital (Getz House and Store), (1865), 115 West

East Indiana Avenue, beginning at 9:30 a.m. on June 13. All proceeds from the event
will benefit the Perrysburg Area Historic Museum, 27340 West River Road.
The featured house above is the Getz House and Store. According to Mr. Boyd’s
book, “This brick structure is part of what is commonly known as the old Rheinfrank
Hospital, but it originally looked like this when it was the home, grocery, and saloon
of the George Getz family. The commercial section was in the rear just above Perrysburg’s then riverfront warehouses, mills, and shipping docks. Getz was among a
colony of Bavarians who came here in 1852. In 1897, Dr. John H. Rheinfrank had his
architect son, George, add a wing and convert the building into a hospital.”
For additional information on the historic home tour, call Phyllis Morton at 419872-0846.

PETS OF THE WEEK
Since Aisy was brought to the shelter,
she has been a bit of a sad girl. She
spent her entire life (she is now about 6
or 7) with an elderly couple who, due to
their own health issues, just could no
longer care for Aisy. Now, Aisy is looking for a home where she can be loved,
nurtured, and cared for once again.
(Aisy would prefer a home in which she
is the only dog.) Aisy also has some
“special needs”: namely, she has some allergy issues that she
needs to deal with several times a year. Aisy likes long walks—
and gum drops (these were used as a treat by her former humans).
She also is a super(-sized) lap dog, she loves to give kisses, and
she is much more interested in her humans than in toys.
Manny came to us after being attacked
by another animal. He is feeling all better
now and is ready to find his forever family. He is a total sweetheart and loves to be
pet. Manny is a very outgoing and happygo-lucky guy that seems to always find
the bright side of any situation. He isn't
sure how he feels about other cats, but
with time could warm up and be best friends. Manny has calmed
down quite a bit during his stay at the shelter—especially since his
teeth were removed and he is now permitted to roam the cat room
freely. Manny also is quite the fashionista, wearing different colored/glittered nail caps. If you think you have room in your home
and heart for a sweet guy like Manny stop out and meet him...you
won't be disappointed!
*All of our pets have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated
appropriate to their age, tested for heart worm and current on
prevention in dogs, and received an initial de-worming and
flea prevention; adopters also are given a free physical exam
to local participating veterinary offices. 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.

4 Generation Gentieu Friemoth Art Exhibition opens May 21
The Paula Brown Gallery
will host the 4 Generation
Gentieu Friemoth Art Exhibition May 21 through July
11.
An opening reception, set
for Thursday, May 21, from
5 to 9 p.m., coincides with
the first Art Walk of 2015.
The show includes photography spanning three centuries. It will show creative
connections between four
generations. Penny Gentieu
was influenced not only by
her mother, the pastel portrait artist, Audrey Gentieu,
but also by Pierre Gentieu,
her photographer ancestor.
Penny’s daughter, Anna
Friemoth has followed in
Penny’s and Pierre’s footsteps by becoming a photographer. But she got her
fashion interest from her
grandmother’s passion for
portraying glamorous movie
stars, and maybe a bit from
her great-grandmother too.
Pierre Gentieu, French
immigrant, Civil War soldier
and artist, starts off the family lineage with a drawing of
the 13th Connecticut camp
ground
in
Thibodaux,
Louisiana, where he had
fought his first battle with
Union soldiers during the
Bayou LaFourche battles, including Georgia Landing, in
1862. After the war, he
worked for the DuPont Powder Works gunpowder factory in the Brandywine
Valley, Wilmington, Delaware. His painting of the
DuPont Powder Works impressed the du Ponts so
much that they promoted
him to work in the office,
where he became friends
with Francis du Pont, with
whom Pierre shared a love of
photography.
Pierre was given free
reign of the gunpowder
works, and he photographed
the workers at work and at
home with their families,
and sometimes the remains
of buildings after the inevitable explosions that happened on a too-frequently

occurring basis.
Pierre’s glass plate negatives are preserved at the
Delaware Historical Society,
where his great-great-granddaughter borrowed them to
make the prints that are in
this exhibition.
Audrey Pinkerton Gentieu rendered portraits of
predominant
Toledoans
throughout the ’40s, ’50s
and ’60s. A child prodigy,
her teacher was the notable
artist Karl Kappes, from
Germany, who also taught
Earl North and Ruskin
Stone, and well as two pre-
vious generations of Audrey’s family.
Her mother, Helen Moyer
Pinkerton, went to Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York,
where she studied fashion
design. Audrey’s artwork
featured in this show include
10 large pastel portraits representing the glory years of
Hollywood movie stars, such
as Humphrey Bogart, Grace
Kelly, Sean Connery and
Katherine Hepburn.
Audrey’s
daughter,
Penny Gentieu, Pierre’s
great-great-granddaughter,
was a New York-based pho-
tographer for 27 years,
where she had photographed
more than 200 national magazine covers, such as Time,
Life, Newsweek, etc. She
has published 13 books of
her photos, and has been included in many national juried shows. Featured are 14
photos, black and white and
color, ranging throughout
her photo career.
Penny’s daughter, Anna
Friemoth, also a photographer from New York, has 14
photos featured in this show.
Anna attended summer and
after-school art classes at

Rhode Island School of Design, Boston University,
Cooper Hewitt, and Cooper
Union, while still in high
school. She received an
award from Scholastic for
her painting, which was displayed in the Brooklyn Museum of Art. She majored in
photography at the Maryland
Institute College of Art. Her
photo series, the 10 Commandments, has received
worldwide recognition, and
was featured exclusively in
Matt Magazine. The Museum of Modern Art periodical collections acquired
Matte Magazine after seeing
her issue. She also was featured in Blink Magazine, an
international periodical that
highlights up and coming
photographers.
Her 10 Commandments
series is featured by online
publications around the
world, from Italy to France
to Poland to China and many
more countries. On display
at the Paula Brown Gallery
are photos from the 10 Commandment series, the Blue
Night series, Trouble at
Home series, and more.
The artistic lineage on
this family’s timeline is impressive. The connections
between a Civil War artistphotographer, a pastel portrait artist, a New York
photographer, and a Millennial art photographer encompass 152 years: 1863 to
2015. The artistic gene pool
that gets passed along is intriguing and is fun to follow.
The visuals start with the
Civil War, go through the
Hollywood golden era, then
through the ’70s to the present, and finish with a Millennial’s interpretation of the
Ten Commandments and beyond. The 4 Generation Gentieu-Friemoth Exhibition is
visual time traveling with
many attractions along the
way.
The Paula Brown Gallery
and Paula Brown Shop are
located in downtown Toledo
at 912 Monroe Street (at
Tenth Street). There is free
parking behind the building.
Gallery and shop hours
are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tuesday through Friday, and
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and closed Sunday and
Monday.
TMA presents military re-enactments, films, talks, concerts in
conjunction with ‘The American Civil War: Through Artists’ Eyes’
Appearances by two military re-enactment groups and
an old-fashioned American
brass band, as well as lectures
and a film series are among
activities the Toledo Museum
of Art will present in conjunction with its new exhibition The American Civil War:
Through Artists’ Eyes.
The focus exhibition, on
view April 3 through July 25
in Galleries 28 and 29, features 50 paintings, drawings,
sculptures, photographs and
artifacts from the museum’s
collection and on loan from
area organizations and private
collectors, including the
Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center and the
William L. Clements Library
at the University of Michigan.
Of special note is Gilbert
Gaul’s painting Battery H 1st
Ohio Volunteers Light Artillery in Action at Cold Harbor. On loan from the
Oregon-Jerusalem Historical
Society, the massive painting
portrays an artillery unit that
included many northwest
Ohio men in a brutal battle
with soldiers of the South.
A series of related activities will be held while the exhibition is on view, starting
with a free gallery talk about
the show at 7 p.m. Friday,
May 1, by the exhibition curator Ed Hill.
The Dodworth Saxhorn
Band, billed as “America’s
Premier 19th Century Band,”
will perform “Songs That
Made a Nation: The Civil
War, 1861–1865” on May
31on the Museum Terrace. In
a salute to Ohioans who
served in the Union Army, the
17 band members, dressed in
period clothing and playing
authentic 19thcentury brass
instruments, will provide an
old-fashioned afternoon of
music, song, drama, poetry,
dance and theater.
The 2 p.m. concert will include such songs as “Tramp,
Tramp, Tramp,” “When
Johnny Comes Marching
Home” and “Battle Hymn of
the Republic.”
A daylong visit by the Fifth
United States Colored Troops,
a local group of African American Civil War military and
civilian re-enactors, will take
place on June 6. The group of
eight soldiers and eight
women “camp followers” will
be on the museum grounds
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. to discuss the lives of black soldiers
and the black women who followed the encampments.
On June 19 and 20, the
Modern Battery H Civil War
Re-enactors will be on the
Museum campus and give
cannon demonstrations. This
Ohio-based
re-enactment
group represents the artillery
battalion featured in Gaul’s
painting displayed in the exhibition. Eighteen soldiers
will be encamped on the
grounds, and they will set up
and demonstrate an authentic
Civil War cannon.
Also on the schedule is a
series of outstanding films,
including the 1989 movie
“Glory” on May 7 and a
marathon showing on May 30
of “The Civil War, a Film by
Ken Burns,” a Woodland
Cemetery Civil War walking
tour on June 11, and a lecture
about northwest Ohioans who
fought in the Union Army at
Gettysburg by University of

All Saints eighth graders enjoy class trip
Youth summer
theatre program
begins June 15
The Rossford Community
Recreation Center is now accepting registrations for its
youth Summer Theater program. This year’s play will be
“Adventures of a Comic
Book Artist” and will be open
to boys and girls, ages 7 to
15.
The cost is $80 for RCRC
members, and $120 for nonmembers.

The program will begin
June 15th and continue for
eight weeks with a community performance on Friday,

The All Saints Catholic School eighth grade class recently spent a week in Washington, D.C. Their trip began
with a stop at Gettysburg where their tour guide explained
the three-day battle in great detail.
The students had an opportunity to meet Congressman
Bob Latta on the steps of the Capitol Building. Inside the
building, students saw Paul Ryan. They had a picnic at the
World War II Memorial and stopped at the MLK Memorial,
the Washington Monument and nearly every other memorial in the city. At their stop at Ford’s Theater, they learned
about the assassination of President Lincoln. Other stops
on their itinerary included stops at Mount Vernon, Newseum, the National Archives, Peterson House, Arlington
National Cemetery, the Holocaust Museum, and the Mu-
seum of Natural History. The last stop on their week-long
trip was the Basillica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
“We had an absolutely fabulous time,” said eighth
grade teacher Michele Mikonowicz. “Our students experienced so much of our nation’s capital. This trip really reinforces our eighth grade curriculum. They get a chance to
see, hear and experience how our nation came to be.”
“The students walked several miles each day, their feet
were sore but there was so much fun and learning had by
all. Thanks for giving our kids this awesome opportunity to
learn, grow and explore. This trip and each of the chaperones are a special part of our kids’ lives,” said eighth
grade parent Kathy Walsh.

Clay Posts RecordSetting Performance
Rossford
sophomore
Regan Clay streaked to an astonishing three league records
and three individual championships at the Northern Buckeye Conference track and
field meet May 16 at Otsego.
Clay posted victories in
the 100m with a time of
12.51, the 200m in a time of
25.45, and the 400m with a
time of 57.44 to lead the Bulldogs.
She set league records in
all three events and was
named Female Athlete of the
Year in the NBC for a second

The Lady Bulldogs finished sixth overall in the
league with Eastwood winning the league title.
Clay was the only runner
to win an individual title, but
she also anchored an 800m
relay team that finished sec-
d
ond. Sharing the load in the
relay were Karis Cherko,
Mackenzie Steer and Taylor
Stolar.
Other scorers for Rossford
were Alyssa Carroll, fourth,
in the long jump; sixth place
finishes in the 400m, 1600m,

RHS drama club announces lineup for 2015-16 season
drama club has announced its
lineup for the 2015-16 season.
In November, they will
present Marc Camoletti’s
screwball comedy, “Boeing
Boeing,” which according to
the Guiness Book of World
Records is the longest running French play in the world.
Also the inspiration for a
Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis
1966 film adaptation, “Boeing Boeing” tells the story of
swinging bachelor Bernard
who is engaged to three gorgeous airline stewardesses.
None of them know about
each other. His meek friend
Robert comes to visit him,
which throws off all of his
carefully planned lies, and
now catastrophe looms and
doors will slam.
In January, RHS will present the dramatic comedy,
“The Boys Next Door” by
Tom Griffin. Four mentally
handicapped men live under
the supervision of Jack, an
earnest, but “burned out”
young social worker. Mingled
with funny, touching scenes
from the daily lives of these
four, where “little things” become momentous, are moments of great poignancy
when we are reminded that
the mentally challenged, like
the rest of us, only want to
love, laugh and find some
meaning and purpose in the
brief time that they are on this
Earth.
In April, pour yourself a
cup of ambition and punch in

Rossford High School Drama
Club presents “9 to 5” with
music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia
Resnick, based on the classic
1980 hit comedy movie. This
hilarious story of girl power
and revenge in the Rolodex
era is outrageous, thoughtprovoking, and even a little
romantic. Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get
even with their sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot
they call their boss. In a hilar-
