Storm damage discussed at trustees meeting
Families, friends and Santa Claus
A perfect sunny afternoon for annual ‘Home for the Holidays’ parade
With sunny skies and moderately warm temperatures for the first day of December, families and friends lined Louisiana Avenue for the
annual “Home for the Holidays” parade on Sunday. Sponsored by Downtown Perrysburg, Inc. (DPI), the parade honored retiring Perrysburg
Municipal Court Judge S. Dwight Osterud as its grand marshal. On December 31, Judge Osterud will retire after 24 years of presiding over
the court.
In collaboration with Commodore Way and O~Deer Diner, DPI is conducting a holiday collection with Perrysburg Christians United (PCU)
of non-perishable food items, toys and monetary donations to help families in need. Donations can be dropped off at O~Deer Diner.
Also, Santa will be at the diner every Saturday from 1 to 2 p.m. during December until Christmas. Children have the opportunity to bring
a toy and/or non-perishable food item and in turn, have their pictures taken with Santa and receive an ice cream cone from O~Deer Diner.

The Perrysburg Township
trustees are assessing damages as clean up continues
from the EF2 tornado that
ripped through Perrysburg
Township on November 17.
At the trustees November
20 meeting, the trustees
passed a declaration of
emergency, a prerequisite
should federal funding
become available to businesses and residents.
The tornado struck the
area around State Route 795
and Oregon the hardest, collapsing the roof of the Circle
K gas station and severely
damaging several businesses
in Cedar Business Park.
There were no serious
injuries.
Fire Chief Tom Brice
expressed appreciation to
department personnel.
“Everybody acted very
professionally. We accomplished what we needed to
do and kept anybody from
getting hurt,” he said, noting
that the department’s participation in a recent mass casualty drill “paid off.”
He also thanked Perrysburg City, Rossford and
Northwood fire/EMS departments for their assistance.
“The operation went well.”
Police Chief Mark Hetrick said his department
received mutual aid from
Owens Community College,
Walbridge, Rossford and
Northwood police departments.
“It was an overwhelming
situation. Not only did our
officers perform admirably,
so did other officers who
responded,” he said.
“We really got through a
sudden emergency pretty
well,” added township
administrator Walt Celley,
who recognized corporate
citizens for their aid.
Those businesses include
GEM
Industrial
and
Rudolph Libbe for providing
manpower and heavy equipment to clear debris; Home
Depot which offered tarps,
plywood, water and more to
homeowners and Lowe’s for
the use of employees to help
with clean up.
The township maintenance crew also worked diligently to clear the streets of
fallen limbs, brush and
debris in the Starbright subdivision, and the Wood
County engineer offered
county crews and the use of
a chipper.
Trustee Gary Britten,
who also works for the
county engineer ’s office,
said they are asking the
commissioners to open the
county landfill to allow for
dumping of the debris.
The trustee noted that in
emergency situations like
this, it is “nice to have a
good rapport” with neigh-
bors.
Township offices that
were without power the day
after the storms were closed,
and the police department
operated on backup generators.
Other Business
In other business, the
trustees:

order of $75,000 for rock

Launched in 1958, the
Edmund Fitzgerald was the
largest boat on the Great
Lakes–711 feet long. And
from 1958 until 1975, she
led a very good life, said
Carrie Sowden, archaeological director of the Great
Lakes Historical Society.
Speaking at the November meeting of the Perrysburg Area Chamber of Commerce, Ms. Sowden discussed the history of the
ship and presented competing theories as to what happened on that fateful day,
November 10, 1975–“when
the gales of November came
early.”
The boat was named after
Edmund Fitzgerald, president of Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company,
said the guest speaker, who
holds a master of arts degree
in anthropology from Texas
A&M and has been involved
with more than 10 archaeological investigations into
the Great Lakes submerged
heritage.
“And, why would you
name a boat after an insurance company president?

Life Insurance Company
Carrie Sowden, archaeological director of the Great Lakes Historical Society
was guest speaker at the November luncheon meeting of the Perrysburg Area
Chamber of Commerce. Ms. Sowden spoke on the shipwreck of the Edmund
Fitzgerald and announced the opening of the National Museum of the Great Lakes
this spring in Toledo.

was actually the first U.S.
insurance company to insure
a Great Lakes freighter,” she
explained. “Prior to that,
almost everything had been
insured through Lloyd’s of
London.
Northwestern
Mutual was the first.”
Because of her size, the
Fitzgerald carried premier
loads–meaning the largest
ever carried, added the
director. And because of
size, the freighter could only

The Penta Career Center
Board
of
Education
approved documents pertaining to the structure of the
school board.
At the November 13
meeting, Superintendent
Ron Matter explained that
the documents are necessary
to comply with changes in
state law regarding the
appointment of board members.
The board approved a
resolution of appointment
and memorandum of understanding, which will be used
by Penta and its 16 member
schools beginning with 2014
appointments. The documents outline the new state
requirements.
Penta is among 49 JVSDs
(joint vocational school districts) across the state deal-
ing with changes enacted by
the Ohio legislature and
signed into law by Governor
John Kasich this summer as
part of Ohio House Bill 59,
legislation for the state budget.
One of the most significant changes involves the
appointment of board members.
Currently, the Penta
school board by its charter
consists of one member each
from the city schools of
Bowling Green, Maumee,
Perrysburg and Rossford and
one member each from the
educational service centers
of Lake Erie West, North
Point, Northwest Ohio and
Wood.
Under the new legislation, board members are not
required to be members of
school boards or ESCs.
In addition, unlike the
previous law, not all members are required to live in
the district. But the act does
state that “not less than
three-fifths of the board
must either reside in or be
employed within the JVSD.”
The legislation also
requires board members to
meet specific professional
qualifications and be chosen
based on the diversity of
employers from the JVSD’s
geographical region.
The board is to be comprised of individuals who
have experience as chief
financial officers, chief executive officers, human
resources managers or other
business and industry professionals.
Members must be able to
discuss labor needs of the
area with respect to the
economy and are required to
consider the workforce
needs with an understanding
of the skills, training and
education needed regionally
for current and future
employment opportunities.
HB 59 also changes the
term of office for board
members. At Penta, members currently serve two-year
terms.
Effective September 29,
the term is extended to three
years.
Another change involves
term limitations. Penta’s
charter has no limitation on
the number of terms a member may serve, but with HB
59, members are limited to
serving two consecutive
terms.
According to the bill, “a
member may serve again

PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL — December 4, 2013 — Page 3
Chamber of commerce luncheon meeting
dock in certain ports, so her
regular route was Silver Bay,
Minnesota, to Detroit, Toledo
and Cleveland. On November
9, 1975, the Fitzgerald was to
transport a load of taconite
from Superior, Wisconsin, to
Detroit.
“At the time, the Fitzgerald was captained by a man
named Ernest McSorley, from
the greater Toledo area,” said
Ms. Sowden. “He had been a
sailor on the Great Lakes and
ocean for more than 40 years.
He had been captain of the
Edmund Fitzgerald for at least
three years at that time and
was planning to retire at the
end of the season–November.
The storm that we are talking
about happens November 9
and 10. So it is not the last trip
of the season, but you are getting pretty close to the last
trip.
“Again, this is a man who
spent a lot of time on the
lake–he knew the lake, he
knew the weather patterns and
he knew this boat. He knew
what he could handle, he
knew how strong the boat was
and he had seen it through a
lot of weather. He did not
think the storm on November
9 was going to be that big of a
deal. He wasn’t the only boat
going out.”
The Fitzgerald was joined
on the lake by the Arthur M.
Anderson, captained by
Bernie Cooper, which followed the Fitzgerald as they
headed to the Soo Locks at
Aault Ste. Marie, Michigan.
“The two ships were five
to 10 miles apart, but close
enough if there is a problem
you could get there fairly
quickly and find them,” continued the archaeological di-
rector. “They do decide because of the weather to take a
different route and shadow the
northern edge of the
lake–hopefully stay in ahead
of the winds that supposedly
are coming.”
By the early evening of
November 9, the storm arrives
and the Fitzgerald is encountering what is called “worsening weather conditions,” said
Ms. Sowden. “By the next
morning, there were 60 mph
winds and 10-foot seas with
visibility only two to four
miles. It doesn’t sound terrible.”
But, the director explained,
what the freighters on Lake
Superior were entering into
was different storm fronts
coming together–“and you
end up with a perfect storm. I
always like to point out that
you end up with a circular
weather and wind pattern and
that really causes problems.”
The National Weather
Service issued storm warnings
early on November 10, and at
approximately 1 p.m., the
weather calmed and the
Fitzgerald encountered moderate seas.
“Basically at this point,
they are in the eye of this circular motion,” said Ms. Sowden. “By 3 p.m., the captain
and first mate of the Anderson
look at their radar and note to
themselves, ‘it looks like the
Fitzgerald is pretty close to a
known shoal.’ They are surprised to see her in that area,
but they think she missed the
shoal but are not real sure.”
A half-hour later, Captain
McSorley radioed the Anderson, told them he had sustained damage and asked the
Anderson to shadow him
down the lake. A short 45
minutes later, Captain McSor-
Changes to structure of Penta school board

have passed since the member’s last term expired.”

ley again radioed the Anderson and said there was further
damage and had no radar units
or navigation ability. The
Fitzgerald needs assistance
navigating into Whitefish Bay.
Approximately at 6:30
p.m., said the director, two gigantic waves hit the Anderson
from behind.
“About 15 to 20 minutes
later, the first mate of the Anderson calls to the Fitzgerald
to give them an update and the
captain replies, ‘we are holding our own,’” continued Ms.
Sowden. “Ten minutes later
the Fitzgerald disappears off
the radar and is never heard or
seen from again. The captain
knew he was in trouble, asked
for help, was holding his own
and then all of a sudden just
disappears. What does this
mean?
“The Anderson called into
the Coast Guard at Whitefish
Point and told them they lost
the Fitzgerald on their radar.
The Anderson goes all the
way into Whitefish Point and
asks the Coast Guard for help,
and the Coast Guard was not
sure if they were willing to go
out. The Anderson turns
around and heads back out to
the lake to look for survivors
or anything they can find.
And, I think we all know, they
didn’t find anything.”
The Edmund Fitzgerald
went down with her entire
crew of 29 men on Lake Superior, 17 miles north-northwest of Whitefish Point,
Michigan.
“The Fitzgerald was located three or four days later
and was identified in May
1976 when they actually were
able to put eyes on her,” explained the director. “She sits
on the Canadian border not far
from Whitefish Point. What

they found underwater was a
ship in two pieces that was severely damaged from this
wrecking incident. This ship is
in 525 feet of water. The stern
also is there but it sits upside
down. There are about 150
feet of ship that is actually
missing–it is all scattered.”
Ms. Sowden said that over
the years there have been
three or four investigations
into the site and then eight
years ago, the Canadian government made the site completely off limits to honor the
29 men who were on board
and died that night.
In the late 1990s, the Great
Lakes Ship Wreck Historical
Society received permission
to do research and recovered
the bell of the ship that is displayed at the Whitefish Bay
Museum.
The archaeological director told chamber members
that there are four main theories of what may or may not
have happened.
“I am not advocating for
any one of these theories, but
I do have a personal theory as
to which one I believe it is,”
she said.
The official statement of
the U.S. Coast Guard is there
were issues with the hatch
covers over the cargo bays.
“The Coast Guard stands
by this finding,” said Ms.
Sowden. “The National Transportation Safety Board and
basically every other person
that I know, that I talked to,
thinks this is hogwash. But
this is technically the official
theory that is out there.”
Ms. Sowden said another
theory involves the shoal line.
“A shoal is basically an underwater mountain range–a shallow point in the lake,” she
explained. “While this shoal
would have been safe in a
very flat, calm sea, we are
talking about 30-foot waves.
If they thought they had 25
feet of clearance, and they
came across this shoal on top
of a wave, they are now on top
of the shoal by five feet. I
don’t think they went on top
of it by five feet. They may
have scraped it–who knows, it
is part of one of the theories.”
The director explained that
the next two theories revolve
around the waves that the captain of the Anderson noted
that hit his deck–those 35-foot
waves.
“There is one or two ways
that could have taken the
Fitzgerald,” she said. “It was
a very large ship–she is 711
feet long and at that length
you are made to move, flex as
needed. However, if you have
two 35-foot waves come
along and the trough is right
below you and you are not
supported, it is not made for
that.
“So one of the theories is
that the waves hit, it lifted up
the bow and stern and left that
middle completely unsupported–it cracked apart and
sinks.
“And the other side of that
is that one of the waves would
come up and as the Fitzgerald
rode the waves down, the second wave comes, across and
basically hit’s the top of the
pilot house and continues to
push it down under the water.
“Those are the four main
theories that I like to work
with. I am a proponent of a
combination, which would
probably be the shoaling
along with the push [of the
waves] concept. I am imagining by this point, the Fitzgerald is riding very, very low in
the waters and it is unable to
recover from this. The other
reason I like it, especially with
the two waves that came
across, is this is going to happen very quickly–you are
going to have no time whatsoever to call for help. The second wave is going to hit you
and push you underwater and
that is it–you are done.”
Ms. Sowden announced
that the new National Museum of the Great Lakes will
open in Toledo on Front Street
in April.
The museum will feature
more than 10,000 square feet
of display space and will
cover four main themes–exploration and settlement, expansion and industry, ship
wreck and safety, and safeguard and support.
“We are telling the national story,” said the director.
“Within that, we are telling
the Toledo story as well. We
are taking those Toledo stories
and showing how we influenced the rest of the country
and the world. The Great
Lakes really are a national
story, so now we are going to
have that in Toledo.”

City, township firefighters participate in training
Perrysburg city and township firefighters recently participated in a flashover simulator.
The Ohio Fire Academy set up the training simulator with instructors Mike Powell, Ken
Ledford and Bob Perko at the Perrysburg Township Fire Station. The purpose of the simulator is so firefighters can see fire at its worst. The simulator provides a look at fire just
before it flashes and destroys everything in the room.
Spring Arbor University to offer
master of social work program
Spring Arbor University
will begin offering a Master of
Social Work in four locations–Battle Creek, Grand
Rapids,
Petoskey
and
Toledo–beginning in fall
2014. The program will feature two concentrations, so
students can tailor their instruction to match their career
path. Students who enroll in
Fall 2014 will receive a
$2,000 grant.
“An MSW degree is invaluable to those in the helping profession. Completion of
an MSW can open many
doors for students in areas of
counseling, program development, management, and beyond,” said Emily Dixon,
director of field instruction at
Spring Arbor University.
Students attend class one
night a week and study together throughout the program’s entirety as part of a
cohort.
The 60-credit hour degree
takes about two years to complete. The first year, which is
the same for all students, consists of foundational courses,
while the second-year curriculum is concentration-tailored.
With a focus on clinical orientation, the micro concentration
prepares graduates for advanced social work practice
with individuals, families and
small groups.
The macro concentration
tailors curriculum for work in
international social work,
global humanitarian aid and
advocacy, planning, implementing and evaluating effective sustainable economic,
social development and empowerment programs, community organizations, grant
writing, social service with
faith-based and non-governmental organizations, and
restorative social justice and
human rights with diverse

multi-cultural populations and
communities in the United
States or worldwide.
For select students, Spring
Arbor University offers a oneyear (30 credit) Advanced
Standing Program (micro or
macro). In order to be considered for admission to the advanced standing program,
students must have been
granted a baccalaureate degree
in social work from an undergraduate social work program
that was accredited by the
Council on Social Work Education, those programs recognized through its International
Social Work Degree Recognition and Evaluation Service,
or those programs covered
under a memorandum of understanding with international
social work accreditors.

Dear Editor:
Is Perrysburg’s governing body being irresponsible in its rush to settle
Costco into the corner of
Eckel Junction and Route
25? Although traffic concerns have been mentioned,
no one has talked of the effect of this big national
business on the existing
local businesses.
Perry’s Junction on the
opposite corner from the
proposed Costco is home to
mostly local businesses. Its
Eckel Junction entrance
and exit are already challenging with the current
volume of traffic. I fear the
presence of this large store
will kill American Table,
Bai Du, Soto Spa, Essence,
and the other worthy businesses at that intersection.
Within a half mile of the
proposed Costco location
are three gas stations, presumably run by local franchisees. And here is Costco
adding a fourth station and
basing its land use on the
gas station location. I think
the value of the station to
the community should be
seriously questioned by
those giving planning permission.
I would hope that those
who have the power to
grant permission to any entity to build will give strong
and careful consideration to
supporting and preserving
local businesses as they
work on responsible growth
of our community.
Janet C. Barley
Dear Editor:
As a 50 year resident
and business owner from
Perrysburg I’d like to start
off by saying it's exciting
that Costco is coming to
town. However, the proposed site at Eckel Road
and State Route 25 has fast
become a political football,
curiously ignoring past city
government
planning
strategies to support community safety and sensible
growth in our great city.
Our family has lived and
worked in Perrysburg for
over 50 years. We love Perrysburg, and I support the
growth of our city.
My family, the Craigs,
owned the property that finally sold to Mercy behind
the BP gas station on State
Route 25. This property
on State Route 25 is directly across from the proposed Costco site. For 16
years we brought eight proposals to the city planner
and planning committee
only to have every deal
killed because of the city’s
concern for traffic safety
and access to 475/State
Route 25/Eckel Interchange.
Costco’s warehouse,
gas station and tire center
complex is three times the
size of our denied past proposals with three times the
traffic (located directly
across the State Route 25).
However the Costco application is flying through the
political process with ease?
The city is permitting the
anticipated 30,000 Costco
members access to their
store via a direct turnin/turn-out from State
Route 25.
Perrysburg recently denied a new Walmart on
State Route 25 because it
was deemed a poor location. The proposed Costco
site will be in this very location. And the city now
supports the site? There are
plenty of suitable areas
within city limits that
Costco can occupy. Why
does it have to be here?
Perrysburg
Planning
Commission ignored the
residents at the hearing.
They also ignored the businesses that testified. We
must speak up at the city
council meeting on December 17 or council will likely
ignore the public like the
plan committee did. See
you there.
Lance Craig, presidentCraig Transportation Co.
Dear Editor:
I attended the Perrysburg Costco Planning Commission
meeting
on
November 21, 2013. The
Commission seems to be
“putting the cart before the
horse” in this situation.
There appears to be a rush
to get this all approved before the mayor leaves office. The traffic is the
biggest issue and needs addressed before a Costco is
built. An already extremely
congested area will see a
dramatic increase in traffic
with the addition of a
Costco, including delivery
trucks during the morning
commute. Additional vendors at the site will receive
deliveries and customers,
also.
It appears expansion of
the Route 25 exits and the
corners of Eckel Junction
and Route 25 will not even
be started by the time the
Costco is completed, estimated to be open fall of
2014. ODOT and the city
do not even have funding
for the required improvements to Route 25 and
Route 25 and Eckel, respectively.
However,
Costco did mention it
would pay its fair share for
the Eckel and Route 25
roads (that’s one of four
corners). Even if these
projects were started today
they wouldn’t be finished
until 2015.
The traffic study, which
is not complete, seems unrealistic. There is no plan to
do anything with Eckel past
Costco property or anything at Route 199. There is
no doubt with increased
traffic, traffic patterns will
change burdening Eckel
from Route 199 and streets
in nearby subdivisions,
which will be used as shortcuts to avoid Route 25.
Don’t get me wrong, we
knew the property was
commercial. I welcome
Costco to our community.
But it seems the Commission is not focusing on the
impact to the community.
Hopefully, on December
17, at 6 p.m. City Council
will see that “the horse not
the cart” should come first.

Girl Scouts to carol for canned goods
The Rambling River
Service Unit of Girl Scouts
of Western Ohio is sponsoring a Caroling for Cans
food drive to help stock the
shelves of food pantries in
Perrysburg and Rossford.
Girl Scouts in these

songs and stopping at
homes to collect nonperishable food items during their
caroling. They also will collect pet food items for the
Humane Ohio pet food
bank.
Girls will be caroling
and collecting between December 1 and 14.
By participating in this
food drive, Girl Scouts in
the Perrysburg and Rossford areas are taking part in
a service learning opportunity where they are actively
helping their communities,
while further developing
their own civic responsibility and leadership skills.
All food collected will
be divided between the Perrysburg Christians United
and the All Saints food
pantries.
Any pet food will be donated to the Humane Ohio
pet food pantry in Toledo.
or to donate to the service
unit, call Vicki Blanco at

DAR presents Community Service Award to Clint Mauk
The Fort Industry Chapter of the DAR recently presented the 2013 Community
Service Award to Clint
Mauk, a local history author
and speaker.
The DAR Community
Service Award is a national
level award and is presented
to a member of the community for outstanding voluntary
achievements
in
cultural, educational or historical work.
The local Fort Industry
Chapter submitted Mr.
Mauk’s name to the Ohio
state chairman along with
recommendation letters from
the Rotary Club and Historic
Perrysburg, Inc. along with
supporting press articles.
The recommendation was
then approved by the national chairman.
Mr. Mauk is a past president of the Rotary Club of
Toledo, and about 10 years
ago, he was asked to tell
some early history of Toledo
stories at Rotary meetings.
Since then, he has given
more than 400 lectures on
northwest Ohio history as a
“Historical Story Teller.” He
has published many of the
stories in a book called “Historical Tales of Toledo” and
has donated all the sale proceeds to the Rotary Foundation.
Before accepting the
Community Service Award,
Mr. Mauk gave a talk to the
Fort Industry Chapter on the
importance of northwest
Ohio in American history.
Clint Mauk with his Community Service Award presented
by the Fort Industry Chapter of the DAR.
Three important battles
fought on U.S. soil against a
foreign enemy happened
within 40 miles of Toledo:
The Battles of Fallen Timbers, Fort Meigs and Lake
Erie.
Mr. Mauk also explained
that there is no shortage of
heroes in this part of Ohio.
General Anthony Wayne was
personally sent by General
George Washington to fight
the Indians at the Battle of
Fallen Timbers. During the
War of 1812, General
William Henry Harrison
came to the Perrysburg area
to build Fort Meigs. Gen.
Harrison was later to become
a governor, U.S. Senator and
Representative, Ambassador
and President.
Another significant figure
is Peter Navarre, a fur trapper and trader who became
an invaluable scout for Harrison during the War of
1812. Lastly, Commodore
Oliver Hazard Perry defeated the British on Lake
Erie, the first and last time an
entire British fleet was captured.

PHS girls basketball team wins season opener over Northview
By Scott Buker
The Perrysburg High
School girls varsity basketball had a tough test to open
their 2013-14 season but
came out with a 61-53 victory
over the Northview Wildcats
at Northview High School on
Tuesday, November 26.
It was the Jackets’ opener,
but Northview’s third game
of the year. The Wildcats
dropped to 2-1 overall and 01 in the NLL.
The Jackets overcame
early foul trouble, particularly
from their two standout post
players Sarah Baer and Allex
Brown. Both tacked two fouls
a piece in the opening quarter
in which saw the Jackets lead
by only one point 13-12.
“The rocky start was first
game jitters,” explained PHS
Head Coach Todd Sims. “It
doesn’t matter who you are,
you have them. With it being
their [Northview’s] third
game, it helped them a bit.”
The Jackets kept the game
close throughout the second
quarter playing without Baer
and Brown. Northview could
only stretch their lead to a
maximum four points in the
second quarter and that lead
was quickly evaporated.
Perrysburg’s Abby Sattler
picked up the slack. The point
guard hit three three-pointers
in the first half as part of her
game total 15 points.
“Thinking about that,
that’s what kept us in the
game,” said Coach Sims
about Sattler’s shooting in the
first half. “She hit three
three’s and that kept us a float
for a while because of the
foul trouble.”
With Northview holding a
four-point lead with 53 seconds to play in the second
quarter, Brown checked back
into the game for the Jackets
and drilled a three-pointer to
cut the lead to one at 29-28.
Shortly after, Brown
knocked down a pair of foul
shots giving the Jackets a 3029 lead with 29 seconds to
play, their first lead of the
game since early in the second quarter.
A Jenn Witt foul shot with
seven seconds to go gave Perrysburg a 31-29 lead at halftime.
The Jackets came out in
the third quarter and quickly
gained controlled. Sattler hit
another three-pointer, Brown
knocked in a bucket, and
Baer, returning to the game,
notched her first points to
give Perrysburg a 38-31 lead
with 6:25 to play in the quarter.
The Wildcats cut the gap
to six points at the end of the
third quarter, 47-41, on a pair
of foul shots off of Brown’s
fourth personal foul, forcing
the post-player to return to
the bench.
The Jacket lead was cut all
the way down to two-points
after a Wildcat three-pointer
with 1:48 to play in the game,
55-53.
But the Jackets responded.
A foul shot by Lindy DeLong
gave Perrysburg a three-point
play and then Baer forced a
Wildcat turnover and converted it into a breakaway layup
to push the lead to 58-53 with
41 seconds to play.
Sattler closed out the
Wildcats, hitting three of four
foul shots in the closing seconds, securing the 61-53 victory.
Coach Sims emphasized
the challenge of playing a
quality league opponent like
Northview in their opener.
“It’s huge to win on the
road,” said Coach Sims.
“Regardless of who you are
playing. They’re one of the
top teams in the league so it is
a great win for us, but it is
just one win and we have 14
league games.”
Being caught in a close
game and playing without
two of their most experienced
players in Baer and Brown
caused problems for the Jackets. But Coach Sims
explained the team fought.
“We fought like crazy and
battled the whole game and
that’s what you have to do
when you play a team like
them. That’s how you win big
games.
“We had every reason to
fold there in the first half and
if it didn’t work out for us we
could have made excuses,”
said Coach Sims. “But that’s
not what we do here. We battle and battle like crazy and
good things happen when you
fight.”
Sattler was the Jackets’
high scorer with 15 points
while Brown contributed 14
points. Both Taylin Hunter
and Lindy DeLong added
eight points, respectively, for
the Jackets.

PHS girls basketball team holds off Southview Photos
The Easter Seals Disability Services donation center in
By Scott Buker
The beginning of their
2013-14 season has proved
to be a challenge for the Perrysburg High School girls
basketball team. Coming off
an impressive victory against
the Northview Wildcats, the
Jackets earned another win
against the Southview
Cougars, 44-40, this past Friday night at home.
“It’s not easy to start with
the schedule we started
with,” said Perrysburg Head
Coach Todd Sims. “Our first
two games were against the
third and second ranked preseason teams in our league.
I’m happy to be 2-0.”
The Jackets saw themselves playing from behind
early in the game. A 5-0 spurt
by the Cougars gave them a
12-8 lead with 24 seconds to
play in the opening quarter,
but a Jacket bucket by Allex
Brown cut the lead back
down to 12-10 and the end of
the quarter.
Southview stretched their
lead to seven points off
another five point run to
make the score 19-12 with
5:10 to play in the half.
But the Jackets responded
with their own run, scoring
six in a row and eight of the
final 10 points in the half.
Jacket senior and Bowling Green State University
commit Sarah Baer ignited
the spark. The post player
took a steal all the way for a
layup and drawing the foul to
convert a three-point play,
cutting the lead to 20-17.
Baer would add a pair of
foul shots shortly after and
then Kelsey Moore hit one of
two free throws for Perrysburg to tie the game at 20
with 19 seconds to play.
After a pair of foul shots
by Southview, Baer came
right back and grabbed an
offensive board and put it
back up for two as time
expired to even the score at
22 at halftime.
Baer’s offensive output
sparked the Jacket rally. The
senior scored 11 of her game
high 22 points in the second
quarter after only scoring six
points in the Jackets’ opener.
“Sarah is so agile for a
post player,” said Coach
Sims. “A lot of girl post players are bigger and slower and
a lot of teams have at least
one of them. We don’t have
that. Both Sarah and Allex
are very active and agile
players.”
The Jackets grabbed a 2624 lead midway through the
third quarter on a bucket
from Brown, but the Cougars
fought back.
Southview ended the third
quarter on a 9-2 run giving
them a 33-28 lead heading
into the fourth quarter.
But the fourth quarter
would belong to the Jackets.
Perrysburg opened on an 110 run, highlighted by buckets
by Brown, Baer and Lindy
DeLong to give the Jackets a
39-33 lead with 3:49 to play.
A three-point play by
Southview cut the lead to 3936 and then Southview
would pull within two points
at 42-40 with 44 seconds to
play.
Two pivotal foul shots
were sunk in by Kelsey
Moore for Perrysburg that
allowed Perrysburg to keep
the game at two possessions.
The Jackets would hold on
for the 44-40 win.
“This team fights like
crazy,” said Coach Sims.
“We did it last Tuesday
against Northview and we
did it again tonight.”
Coming off two opening
season wins against two
quality teams puts Perrysburg right where they want to
be. The Jackets have yet to
play basketball that they are
capable of according to
coach Sims, with both games
seeing Perrysburg getting
into significant foul trouble
early. However, the Jackets
have been able to overcome
those difficulties to notch
victories.
“I would hope this gives
us confidence,” said Coach
Sims. “I don’t care what
sport it is, if you play with
confidence you will play at
the top of your ability. Hopefully this will be a confidence builder and I think it
will be moving forward,”
added the coach.
With the win, Perrysburg
improves to 2-0 overall and
2-0 in the NLL. Southview
falls to 1-1 overall.
Baer was the top scorer
for the Jackets with 22 points
while also grabbing 11
rebounds. Brown chipped in
13 points with 11 boards.
The Jackets will take on
the Bowling Green Bobcats
at Perrysburg High School
this Friday, December 6. The
junior varsity will tip off at
6:15 p.m., with the varsity to
follow at approximately 7:30
p.m.
Perrysburg will host a special guest on Saturday, December
7, from 3 to 5 p.m.
Everyone who donates a bag of clothes will have the
opportunity for a free photo with Santa Claus.
The donation center is located at 148 East South Boundary.

Penta students serve ‘Taste of the States’
Why travel to Louisiana
for cajun cooking or to New
England for lobster when
both can be found close to
home?
In celebration of the cuisine that makes each region of
the country so delectable, students in Penta Career Center’s culinary arts program
prepared meals from nine
states.
Patrons enjoyed samplesize servings from California,
Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Mississippi,
New York, Ohio and Texas.
Among the foods offered
were California–ahi tuna
taco, cobb salad and a Shirley
Temple; Hawaii–roast pork
saimin, pineapple shaved ice
with candied macadamias and
mahi lau lau with coconut
rice; Louisiana– shrimp
gumbo, chicken and andoille
jambalaya and beignets;
Maryland–crab-cakes, Smith
Island cake and black eyed
Susan; Massachusetts–lobster
roll, clam chowder and English
black
tea;
Mississippi–barbecue ribs
with collard greens, banana
pudding and boiled peanuts;
New York–pizza, black and
white cookies and pastrami
sandwiches; Ohio– popcorn,
apple pie and roast venison
with whipped potatoes, and
Texas–chili, chicken fried
steak and chocolate pecan
fudge.
Chef Janea Makowski
said the students created Taste
of the Nations last year and
wanted to expand on the idea
with a Taste of the States this
year.
“The kids picked the states
and researched the recipes,”
she said, adding that they also
had to determine how much

style pizza.
they would need to feed visitors to the school restaurant
for three days.
The chef said the ingredients were readily available. “I
was worried about the venison, but it was pretty easy to
get,” and she noted that they
even purchased live lobsters.
“It was nice to get fresh
seafood in.”
Students worked in groups
of three or four carefully
crafting their recipes, which
were served at lunch time November 13 to 15.
Patrons were able to purchase tickets for 50 cents
apiece and peruse the buffet
tables, selecting foods from
the various states
Christian Lau of Rossford
Schools, a senior in the culinary program worked on food
from Maryland.
“I got some of the ideas
from the Food Network,” he
said.
Logan Maenle, a senior in
culinary from Perrysburg
Schools prepared New York
style pizza, though he admitted that the crust did not quite
come out as soft as he had
hoped.
Patrons didn’t seem to
mind as they gobbled up the
entreé with its fresh mozzarella and basil.
Daisha Tisdale of Springfield Schools worked on
dishes from Mississippi.
“My original plan was
Georgia, but I got Mississippi, and I’m pretty glad. It
turned out well,” she said of
the ribs, pudding and peanuts.
Funds raised from the
event will be used toward student competitions.

Mobile Meals seeks pet food donations
Mobile Meals of Toledo is
holding its annual Season of
Suppers campaign.
Now in its eighth year, the
goal is to feed pets of homebound seniors and clients who
receive meals from the meal
program. The program calls
attention to the importance of
pets to the well-being of
homebound seniors. Helping
keep these companion pets
well fed, healthy and part of
the family for as long as possible became the motivating
factor behind the campaign.
Donations off pet food and
monetary donations to pur-
chase food will be accepted at
PetSmart stores at Spring
Meadows on Airport Highway in Toledo and at Crossroads Parkway in Rossford.
Donations will be accepted
through December 31.
The Andersons General
Store locations at Talmadge
Road in Toledo and Maumee
also will collect pet food donations through December
24.
“We know that many of
our clients are compromising
their own nutrition by sharing
their meals with their pets,
often their best friend and
companion. The more service
Mobile Meals can provide for
pets leads to better health and
a longer life for both the meal
client and their pet,” said Carolyn Fox, associate executive
director of Mobile Meals.
Cash donations can be
made online at www.mobile
meals.org in the donation section. Donations should be
designated for the Pet Food
Program.
For more information on
the program or how to get involved, call the Mobile
Meals’ office at 419-2557806.

2013 City of Perrysburg
leaf collection schedule
SCHEDULE:
N The City of Perrysburg began its fall
leaf collection on Monday, October
21. During this period, the city will
be covered several times.
N Crews will begin on the west side of
town this year and work their way
east.
N Collection resumed on Monday,
December 2, for the final sweep.
N LEAVES PUT OUT ONCE
CREWS HAVE BEEN BY WILL
NOT BE PICKED UP. A supervisor will follow the crew to assure
all leaf piles were picked up so
there will be no question.
PREPARE:
N Rake leaves to the right-of-way, the
area near the curb or edge of the
street, but NOT in the street.
N Pile the leaves in the right-of-way.
Do NOT bag leaves as city crews use
trailer-mounted leaf vacuum units.
N Please refrain from piling leaves near
mailboxes and do not park in front of
or on any leaf piles, as it is difficult
to maneuver the hoses around parked
cars.
N There is NO leaf pick up in alleys.
N Keep the storm drains clear of leaf
debris. If you have a storm drain in
front of your home, remove the leaf
debris and add it to your leaf pile.
N If you live along a ditch or creek, DO
NOT rake leaves to the bank or into
the waterway.
N This is a leaf pick up ONLY. Do not
mix branches and other debris with
the leaf piles because crews will
leave the entire pile.
N Inform your landscape company to
NOT blow your leaves into the street
when they mow your lawn.
OTHER DISPOSAL OPTIONS:
1. The City Compost Site is available
year round for leaf and brush disposal. Compost Site hours are 7:00 a.m.
– 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday
excluding holidays. The Compost
Site is also available on the second
and fourth Saturday of the month
from 8:00 am – 12 noon. On Saturdays, residents may go directly to the
Compost Site. Residents must be on
file at the Department of Public Service to use the Compost Site on Saturdays. During the week, residents
may bring loose or bagged leaves to
the Department of Public Service,
11980 Roachton Road for inspection
and to borrow the key to the Compost Site. Bagged leaves must be
emptied at the site and residents are
responsible for taking their empty
bags with them. First time users
need to bring their driver’s license to
the Department of Public Service to
verify residency. Check the city
website for additional details
(www.ci.perrysburg.oh.us).
2. City yard waste bags may be used to
dispose of leaves. They are picked
up on the same day as refuse is collected through November 30th. Be
sure to purchase the bags with the
city emblem on them. City yard
waste bags may be purchased for
$2.25 at Black Diamond, Department
of Public Service, Kazmaier’s,
Kroger, Luckey Farmers, Mini
Engine Repair, Rite Aid and Walt
Churchill’s Market. Generic bags
will NOT be collected.
3. Hire a private company for removal
of your leaves.
If you have any questions,
call the Street Division at 419-872-8020

State Senator Randy Gardner
sponsors college savings bill
Two senators are leading
a new effort to make a college education more affordable in Ohio, with Senate
Bill 244.
The bill was introduced
on Wednesday, November
20.
Senator Randy Gardner
along with Sen. Shannon
Jones sponsored the Ohio
College Savings Act, which
would increase the maximum tax deduction for families investing in college 529
savings plans to $10,000 per
student.
Current law allows a
$2,000 annual deduction,
one of the lowest amounts in
the nation.
Senator Gardner, chairman of Senate Finance Subcommittee on Education,
said the bill would help families save for college while
ultimately helping the state’s
economy.
“If Ohio was just at the
national average in college
attainment, we would increase personal incomes and
purchasing power for Ohio
families,” Senator Gardner
said.
“This bill is not a fiscal
burden on Ohio’s budget. Instead, this effort would be a
major educational and financial benefit for Ohio families
and Ohio’s future.”
To date, a total of 13 Republican senators and one
Democrat have joined as cosponsors of the bill, includ-
ing three members of Senate
GOP leadership.
“We are very encouraged
with the support we are receiving so far for this bill,”
said Senators Jones and
Gardner.
“We
believe
the
prospects are strong that this
will be enacted into law.”
The bill has already received support from the
higher education community, including Bruce Johnson,
president of the
Inter-University Council of
Ohio.
“This incentive attacks
head on what is, arguably,
the biggest issue facing students contemplating college
today–borrowing to pay for
their college education and
going into debt as a result,”
said Senator Johnson.
C. Todd Jones, President
of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Ohio agreed.
“Savings are a critical part
of financing a college education, and AICUO fully supports increasing the 529
limits to encourage families
to save,” said Mr. Jones.
The bill also creates the
Joint Committee on Ohio
College Affordability, which
would make recommendations as to additional ways
Ohio can improve college
opportunities with the goal
of greater degree completion
and reduced student debt.

Tickets on sale for All Saints concert
The 12th annual Toledo
Symphony Christmas concert
at All Saints Catholic Church
in Rossford will be held on
Sunday, December 22.
The performance will be
filled with a collection of holiday and classical favorites
from the symphony’s repertoire led by conductor Jeffrey
Pollock.
It will feature soloists
Katherine Calcamuggio and
Jesse Donner.
Ms. Calcamuggio is an
award-winning mezzo-soprano. She holds a master of
music degree from Northwestern University, a bachelor
of music degree from Bowling Green State University
and currently is pursuing her
doctorate at the University of
Michigan.
She has received top prizes
in the Palm Beach Opera, Bel
Canto and Shreveport Singer
of the Year competitions, and
awards from the Chicago
Women’s Musician’s Club
and the Anna Sosenko Trust.
She is a former participant
in young artists’ programs at
Florida Grand Opera, Glimmerglass Opera, Chicago
Opera Theater, Opera Theatre
of St. Louis, as well as the
Katherine Calcamuggio
Aspen and Brevard Music
Festivals.
In the 2013 and 2014 season, Ms. Calcamuggio is debuting the roles of the
Komponist in Strauss’ “Ariadne auf Naxos” at UM as
well as the mezzo-soprano
soloist in Verdi’s “Requiem”
with Chicago Community
Chorus.
As a winner of the coveted
concerto competition at UM
in the fall, Ms. Calcamuggio
will make her Hill Auditorium debut with the university
orchestra singing John
Corigliano’s “Mr. Tambourine Man.”
In January, she will return
Jesse Donner
to Opera on the James to
make a role debut of Julia
Child in Hoiby’s “Bon Appétit” as well as returning
with the Toledo Symphony in
April for the mezzo-soprano
soloist in Beethoven’s “Ninth
Symphony.”
As a voice major, Mr.
Donner received a bachelor of
music degree from Iowa State
University and completed his
master of music degree at
UM, where he is pursuing a
specialist degree.
He recently appeared in
the role of Bacchus in the UM
production of “Ariadne auf
Naxos.” He has received Encouragement Awards from the
MET Council auditions in the
last two years and was the
winner of the 2012 Michigan
Friends of Opera competition.
This summer he premiered
with Opera in the Ozarks
singing the part of Pinkerton
in Puccini’s “Madame Butterfly.”
Next year, Mr. Donner will
make his debut with the Lyric
Opera of Chicago as a Ryan
Center young artist for the
2014-15 season.
The Christmas concert begins at 4 p.m., and doors open
at 3:30 p.m.
A reception with champagne and cookies will follow
the concert.
The church is handicapaccessible.
A coat check will be provided by the church youth
group with tips supporting
their summer service project.
