PERRYSBURG YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER 1853 1935 ©WELCH PUBLISHING COMPANY, PERRYSBURG, OHIO, (419) 874-4491 VOLUME 164, NUMBER 28 – JULY 13, 2016 Some of the highlights included witnessing the largest parade in our city’s history with our Bicentennial Parade and a flyover of F-16 fighter jets from the 180th tactical Fighter Wing. The weekend was capped off with a Bicentennial Fireworks Celebration unlike this city has ever experienced before. In between these major events were numerous other activities that had something for every one. As great as these activities have been, for me as your Mayor, the greatest experience throughout the entire time frame was how so many people sacrificed their time and energy for the singular purpose of giving back to the community and making our city a special place to live. To all of our sponsors throughout this past year, I say thank you! To the Bicentennial Committee–words cannot express my gratitude and heartfelt thanks for a spectacular job on the development, organization and execution of these events. You exceeded all expectations. Our Bicentennial year is about celebrating our history. But perhaps as important, it is about looking forward to the possibilities of what our community will look and feel like in the future. Let us continue to strive to make our great city the example to which all others compare themselves. Let us move forward with boldness and a deep sense of purpose so that future generations will be able to, 100 years from now, look back to our time and say that we left the city stronger than we found it–that we didn’t just mark time, but that we made a difference. It has been my honor to preside over these Bicentennial celebrations. I look forward to continuing to work with you as we start the next chapter in the life of our city. We are truly making tomorrow’s history today. Let’s go! Michael J. Olmstead Mayor, City of Perrysburg Bicentennial ® The 56th annual Five Point Steam Threshers reunion this Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The 56th annual Five Point Steam Threshers Reunion will be held this Sunday, July 17, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event is open to the public, and admission and parking are free. This year’s reunion will take place at the corner of Five Point and Lime City roads in Perrysburg Township. Local farmers have gathered wheat into shocks, and the dry shocks will be collected in wagons and brought to the reunion to be threshed by old-fashioned steam-powered machines. The annual reunion provides an opportunity for city and country folk of all ages to experience life on the farms of yesteryear. The “good ole days” are here again. Sawmill and wheat threshing demonstrations will take place throughout the day, and steam engine plowing demonstrations begin at 1 p.m. Again this year will be a “kiddie tractor pull.” Registration for this event begins at noon., and the pull starts at 1 p.m. Steam engines, antique cars and tractors, and gas engines from the turn of the century will be on display and operating throughout the day. Homemade bean soup stirred in a giant kettle, fresh steamed corn on the cob, kettle-popped corn and cold drinks will be available for purchase. Also, Boy Scout Troop 332 from Luckey, will have food for purchase. In the event of inclement weather, the reunion will be held 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., on Sunday, July 24. Pets are not allowed at the reunion.

For several months, the trustees debated the RTID’s request for $7,500, an amount it sought from the township, Rossford and the Northwestern Water and Sewer District, the latter two of which previously approved the request. An attempt to decide the issue last month was postponed after Mr. Britten suggested that Trustee Bob Mack Please turn to page 2➧ 75¢ SINGLE COPY Original Surveys of Perrysburg To the Perrysburg community... from Mayor Mike Olmstead Over this Fourth of July weekend, our city’s Bicentennial celebration reached a fever pitch with numerous events and celebrations. PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER Editor’s note: This is the first in a three-part series by resident Gary Franks on the original surveys of Perrysburg. Mr. Franks, a retired engineer, is a volunteer for the Wood County Genealogical Society, a member of the Ohio Historical Society, Historic Perrysburg, the Museum of the Great Lakes and was a founding member of the Perrysburg Area Historic Museum. He has had a long-time interest in history and is the author of two books of area significance. A third book, “The Preservation of Fort Meigs and its Burial Grounds” is scheduled for publication this fall. By Gary L. Franks As Perrysburg celebrates its 200th anniversary, it is interesting to look back to discover the origin of and the events leading to its birth. Over the years, many stories have been told about the events leading up to and the original survey of Perrysburg; however, I believe most of them contain incorrect information regarding the extent of the survey, who selected the site, which surveyors performed the survey, and if, in fact, it was the only other city besides Washington, D.C. that was surveyed by the federal government. After several years of diligent research in federal, state and local archives, the Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), historical society libraries, newspaper records, family biographies and correspondence, and many other sources, the following facts emerged. A. Significant events leading up to the survey in the preceding quarter-century 1. From 1790 through 1803, modern-day Wood County was an un-surveyed part of the northwestern Indian Lands in the Northwest Territories. For several months in the mid-1790s, it was within Monroe County, the largest county ever in the lower 48 states, extending from Cleveland to Fort Wayne to West Chicago to the present Canadian border, then following the lake route to Detroit and finally back to Cleveland. 2. The Treaty of Greenville dated August 3, 1795 a. Following General Anthony Wayne’s (1745– 1796) victory over the British and their Indian allies at the battle of Fallen Timbers, the treaty stated: “…the said Indian tribes do also cede to the United States, the following pieces of land, to wit: …8. One piece twelve miles square, at the British fort, on the Miami of the Lake, at the Foot of the Rapids.” 3. May 18, 1796: Act of 4th Congress 1st Session: appointment of a Surveyor General a. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, that a Surveyor replacement, Jared Mansfield. 4. March 3, 1805: Act of Congress 2nd Session: Survey of the Twelve Mile S q u a r e Reserve a. “That such and so many of the tracts of land lying north and west of the Indian boundary established by the Treaty of Greenville, which were ceded by that treaty to the United States, as the President of the United States shall direct, shall be surveyed and subdivided in the same manner as the other public lands of the United States…”. b. The SurAbove, Ohio and Indian Lands–1794. Below, Indian Lands ceded to the U.S. under the Treaty of veyor General of the United Greenville 1795. States, Jared Mansfield, selected Elias Glover, for this survey. Glover, a federal government surveyor performed the survey in October of that year. Glover surveyed the reserve into four 6-mile square townships; however, he failed to locate the center at Fort Miami as prescribed in the Treaty of Greenville. Fort Miami at this time was located in the “middle of nowhere” and instead, he located the center closer to “civilization” near a trading post, probably that of Jean Baptiste Beaugrande, which today would be about 80 feet bearing 30° north-northeast of the juncture of East Dudley Street and River Road in Maumee, OH. The approximate geographiJared Mansfield Rufus Putnam cal coordinates 1759-1830 1738-1824 of this center General shall be appointed, titles of the Indian Tribes have are 83° 38’ 44.00” West, 41° whose duty it shall be to been extinguished…”. 33’ 56.00” North. b.

Convention for Surveying Lands Adjacent to Waterways a. An Act of Congress on March 3, 1811 set the convention for the survey of lands “adjacent to any river, lake, creek, bayou, or water course.” It provided for surveyors to run lines at right angles to the “general course” of the waterway. b. The surveying team (Bourne, Wampler, Brookfield, et al.) approached the area from the southeast (Marietta, Chillicothe, Washington D.C.) in late June 1816 and probably camped on the south river bank near the Foot of the Rapids where Amos Spafford lived. Working with Spafford along the south bank of the river, they established the “general course” of the Miami of the Lake as N63°E. Orientation of 1816 Perrysburg Survey 2. April 12, 1816: Amos Spafford (1753–1817) appointed to select a name for the town a. Josiah Meigs, U.S. Land Commissioner, wrote this letter to Spafford requesting him to select a name for the town to be surveyed as well as one for a town at Lower Sandusky: Washington City April 12, 1816. Dear Friend: As you will have a town on the Miami of Erie, it will be well to think of the name it is to bear. The act does not give a name. Who is to christen it? I wish you would think on the subject, and let me have your wishes. For my part, I will barely suggest to you that, if it would be named Perryville, or Perrytown–or in some other form, which may always remind us of the victory of Erie–it would be good policy. We ought to make the best profit we can of the blood of our countrymen, which has been shed for the confirmation of our Independence. If it were left to me to name the town at Lower Sandusky, I should name it in honor of the gallant youth, Col. Croghan–and would say it should be Croghanville. I believe it is in your power to give the names. I am respectfully yours, Josiah Meigs b. Spafford came to the Foot of the Rapids in 1810 from Cleveland, having been appointed Collector of the Port of Miami, succeeding Lewis Bond. When War of 1812 hostilities arose locally, he and other settlers abandoned their homes, returning in 1814 following the war’s end. Meigs’ letter recognizes that Spafford, as the prominent settler in Port Miami, is well-qualified to select a name for the town. Taking Meigs’ suggestion, Spafford named the town, “in some other form”, Perrysburgh (the “h” was later dropped ca. 1895), in honor of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry.

The exhibit runs through August 19, in the Perrysburg Municipal Building, 201 West Indiana Avenue. Viewing hours are Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Ms. Overmeyer began making traditional bed quilts 25 years ago. She slowly transitioned into free-motion quilting. Soon after she found this direction stimulating and began designing her own quilts and transitioning into “art quilts.” Mrs. Overmeyer’s complex mixed media art quilts have been recognized with numerous awards and recognition at local and regional art and quilt shows in Ohio, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. She credits her influences with her exposure to numerous other art quilters in classes, workshops and exhibits at local, as well as international quilt shows.

Ms. Donnell added, “Some businesses have chosen to provide food, others have chosen to set up a table at the event and some are donating money. They can participate in any way they choose, and it is all very much appreciated.” Businesses interested in participating in the event or donating items are asked to call Ms. Donnell at 419874-3551 or send an email to MDonnell@perrys burgtownship.us.

To settle the issue, the trustees sought an opinion from township law director Tim Greenwood, who sent a three-page opinion, in which he stated that Mr. Mack could cast a vote. Although trustees Mack and Schaller supported the disposition of funds, Mr. Britten remained adamantly opposed, expressing his belief that the organization “Perrysburg, OH” is one of the works of art by Jean Overmeyer on display at the Municipal Building. On July 11, the Penta Career Center board of education held a special meeting to finalize hiring for the 2016-17 school year.

The months of planning, hours of set-up, and involvement by the entire community made this a day to remember for all of us. It will certainly rank among the finest events in which we have participated. Wherever we went we found kind H words and friendly smiles. Our deepest gratitude goes to Gary and Jeanne Holfinger for sponsoring our appearance and for the wonderful lunch. Everything about the day, from the morning parade to our afternoon concert performance, was meticulously planned and executed including the F-16 flyover during the parade. Despite the “involvement” of CSX in the parade, things seemed to run like clockwork, and the turnout was amazing. The cooperation we received from town officials, the Perrysburg Police Department, and the Rotary Club, among many other workers and volunteers was greatly appreciated. Judging by the size of the crowd at our concert and the participation in the “Script Perrysburg” at the end of the concert, our drum majors and our music seemed to score. We came away from our day in Perrysburg feeling so grateful that our band was included in your Bicentennial celebration. We salute you • Paul A. Skaff all for a tremendous effort and a job well done. You can be proud of your community as you look forward to the next 200 years!

How many years have we gone to parades, fireworks, festivals and other community events and everything ran smoothly? From traffic control to crowd control. As chairpersons of the recent parade, we had numerous meetings with the police and city personnel to review the route, intersections, staging and set up at the Commodore Schoolyard. Voila…by Saturday morning, everything was in place. Road blocks. Gazebo moved. Trash boxes in place. Safety cones set up. Police tape in place. The list goes on. Yes, it’s part of what makes Perrysburg so great … allowing residents to enjoy community events in a safe, clean, festive environment. Special thanks to Police Chief Dan Paez, Deputy Chief Jim Rose, Sergeant Dean Butler, and city staff member Rick Toepfer, along with the entire police and city departments. It was an honor and privilege to serve our community with such dedicated professionals.

Business News PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL — July 13, 2016 — Page 5 Amy Gilman, Ph.D. Adam Levine, Ph.D. Lynn Miller With the retirement of its chief operating officer, the Toledo Museum of Art is making several staff changes at the executive level. Carol Bintz, who has been with the Museum for 25 years, will retire as chief operating officer on July 1. Three other employees have been promoted and will have some expanded duties formerly handled by the COO. In announcing the changes, Museum Director, President and CEO Brian Kennedy praised Bintz’s service to the institution. “Carol Bintz has made an extraordinary contribution to the Toledo Museum of Art in all aspects of our administration, but especially in the building of our SANNAdesigned Glass Pavilion, opened in 2006, in acclaimed efforts on energy sustainability–for example, TMA has 3,000 solar panels and frequently goes off the grid–and in steering the museum’s finances so beneficially. Carol is a person of the highest integrity and competence. “I have great confidence that our new leadership team, which has already done stellar work in recent years, will continue to advance the work and reputation of our much-loved art museum in Toledo and its splendid art collections.” Amy Gilman, Ph.D., associate director of the museum and curator of contemporary art, has been promoted to deputy director; Adam Levine, Ph.D., assistant director and associate curator of antiquities, has been promoted to associate director, and human resources director Lynn Miller has been promoted to assistant director. All appointments are effective July 1. Dr. Gilman will oversee the museum’s art collections, development, Mellon Fellowships and finance, while Dr. Levine will be responsible for brand marketing and communications, education and engagement, and information systems. Ms. Miller becomes responsible for protective services and facilities as well as all aspects of people resources, including diversity and inclusion initiatives. Symphony board, musicians approve new contract The Toledo Orchestra Association, Inc., Board of Trustees approved a new three-year contract with Toledo Symphony Orchestra’s musicians at its year-end meeting on June 21. The musicians, members of the Toledo Federation of Musicians Local 15286, approved the contract in voting conducted on May 21. The three-year contract takes effect on September 1, and provides for a 2 percent raise on base salaries each year. It covers 60 contracted musicians, and extends to other musicians who are brought in to supplement the core group as needed. “The seasoned professionals of the Toledo Symphony are fundamental to the high quality of music produced across our entire region, so it makes sense for the association to invest in this important music asset,” said Randy Oostra, president and CEO of ProMedica and board trustee chairman. “It is our responsibility to sustain the orchestra’s mission of preservation and education if we intend to continue to be the best regional or- chestra in America.” “The TSO is currently facing many challenges and is in a period of transition in both its artistic and administrative leadership,” said Garth Simmons, chairman of the orchestra’s bargaining committee and the symphony’s principal trombonist. “This new agreement demonstrates the shared commitment of the board, musicians, and management to the long-term stability and growth of the orchestra.” Entering its 73rd season, the Toledo Symphony annually performs nearly 100 concerts in its Classics, Mozart, Chamber, Pops, and Family series, six operas, and neighborhood and regional shows. Members of the orchestra chamber ensembles perform in every elementary school in the Toledo Public Schools system, as well as in many other schools across northwest Ohio. The symphony performs at the Toledo Museum of Art’s Peristyle, Lourdes University’s Franciscan Center, The Toledo Club, the Stranahan Theater, the Valentine Theater, Rosary Cathedral, and on occasion the Huntington Center. The symphony has performed at venues as far away as Bryan, Greenville, New Bremen, and Portsmouth, all in Ohio.

Blood donations have fallen short of hospital needs for the past few months, resulting in about 39,000 fewer donations than what’s needed, as well as a significant draw down of the overall Red Cross blood supply. In addition, the Independence Day holiday may have caused many regular donors to postpone donations due to vacation plans. A recent Red Cross poll revealed that more than 75 percent of donors surveyed indicated vacation plans this summer, many of them occurring the weeks before and after July 4. “Right now, blood products are being distributed to hospitals faster than donations are coming in, which is why we are making this emergency request for donations,” said Christy Peters, external communications manager of the Western Lake Erie Blood Services Region. “Donations are urgently needed now to meet the needs of hospital patients in the coming days and weeks. If you’ve thought about giving blood and helping to save lives, now is the time to do it. It’s the blood donations on the shelves that help save lives when an emergency occurs.” A blood drive will be held in Rossford on Saturday, July 16, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Local 8 Union Hall, 807 Lime City Road. To schedule an appointment to donate, use the free Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800733-2767. The Red Cross is extending hours at many donation sites to allow for more donors to make an appointment to give. Donation appointments and completion of a RapidPass online health history questionnaire are encouraged to avoid longer wait times. Donors with all blood types are needed. Those unable to give can still help by encouraging others to give through a SleevesUp virtual blood drive at redcrossblood.org/sleeves up, giving of their time through volunteerism or making a financial donation to support Red Cross humanitarian work across the country and around the world.

PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL — July 13, 2016 — Page 11 The Perrysburg Varsity Acme baseball team Perrysburg Varsity Acme baseball team advances to state finals The Perrysburg Varsity Acme baseball team advanced to the state finals after beating Anthony Wayne two out of three games. The district champions first needed to pass both Sandusky and Wauseon before battling Anthony Wayne. The team ended Saturday night with their first loss in the tournament, against AW. This forced the Jackets to win two consecutive games against the Generals in a Sunday double header in order to advance to the state Acme tournament. In the first of two games, Anthony Wayne wasn’t able to overcome the big hole it dug itself into, losing 4-3 after falling behind by two runs in the fifth inning. It was a good day at the plate for Perrysburg’s Jake Krueger. He went three for four and drove in one. Krueger singled in the first, third and fourth innings. Brad Slee got the win for Perrysburg. Slee allowed two runs over five innings. Closer, Peyton Williamson, put away the final six outs to record the save. After a quick strike from AW, Perrysburg responded with two runs in the third on a two-run single by Tyson Kleinfelter. Perrysburg went up for good in the fourth, scoring one run on an RBI single by Krueger, ensuring a second game to be played which would determine which team would advance to states. In the second game, Perrysburg took the lead in the second inning, when Ethan Flemming drove in two runs. In the third inning, the team scored on an RBI single by Alec Thacker, an RBI single by Matt Murphy, and a two-run single by Noah Pyle. Nikolas Mancy went 3-4 and scored a run. Mancy singled in the second, third and seventh innings. Peyton Williamson got the win for Perrysburg. Williamson allowed only two runs over four innings. Carson Vrzal was the team’s closer, cementing the lead. Perrysburg Varsity Acme beat Anthony Wayne 8-2 in seven innings on Sunday after a five-run explosion in the third to win the Acme district title and advance to the Acme state tournament.

The Ohio High School Athletic Association’s Board of Directors has approved the 2016 football tournament regulations, which include moving all Division I football playoff games to Friday nights in November for the first time since 1980. Joining Division I on Friday nights at 7:30 p.m. will be playoff games in Divisions II, IV and VI, while Saturday games will include Divisions III, V and VII at 7 p.m. For several years, attendance has decreased at Division I games in November, primarily due to some fans opting for college games, which include more night games. In addition, fewer facilities are available on Saturdays due to other school functions or staff not being available. “In Ohio’s larger cities where the Division I schools are located, we have been competing with college games and other events on Saturdays, both in terms of fans and facilities being available,” said Beau Rugg, OHSAA assistant commissioner and football administrator, said. “Moving Division I playoff games to Friday nights has been something our football tournament committee has been thinking about for a couple years. With the endorsement of the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association, we felt it was the right time to make the change, and the OHSAA Board of Directors agreed.” Since 1980, Division I playoff games have been on Saturdays except for a few games in 2001 and 2006. A total of 716 schools will begin the season in August, aiming for one of 224 playoff berths announced on Sunday, October 30. Approved along with the football tournament regulations were the lists of schools within each division and region, as well as the regional boundary maps. The 2016-17 school year is the second year of the OHSAA’s current two-year enrollment and divisional alignment cycle. During the 2016-17 school year, the OHSAA will again work with the Ohio Department of Education to determine enrollment counts to be used for the next two-year cycle (2017-18 and 2018-19 school years). Those new enrollment numbers will be combined with the competitive balance roster data that schools will submit on a sport-by-sport basis in football, soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball and softball. The football tournament regulations were approved by the board at its June meeting in Columbus. 2016 OHSAA Football Schedule Week of August 22, Regular-Season Begins Tuesday, September 20, First Computer Point Standings Released (every Tuesday afternoon for remainder of season) Saturday, October 29, Regular-Season Ends Sunday, October 30, Final Computer Points Posted; Playoff Qualifiers and Pairings Announced Friday, November 4, Divisions I, II, IV and VI Regional Quarterfinals Saturday, November 5, Divisions III, V and VII Regional Quarterfinals Friday, November 11, Divisions I, II, IV and VI Regional Semifinals Saturday, November 12, Divisions III, V and VII Regional Semifinals Friday, November 18, Divisions I, II, IV and VI Regional Finals Saturday, November 19, Divisions III, V and VII Regional Finals Friday, November 25, Divisions I, II, IV and VI State Semifinals Saturday, November 26, Divisions III, V and VII State Semifinals Thursday, December 1, State Championships Begin at Ohio Stadium (One Game Only–Division I, II, IV or VI) Friday, December 2, State Championships at Ohio Stadium (Three Games–Division I, II, IV or VI) Saturday, December 3, State Championships at Ohio Stadium (Three Games–Divisions III, V and VII).

The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), Office of Criminal Justice Services (OCJS) and Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) have partnered to develop procedures which allow individuals who qualify for a hearing exemption waiver to train and test for a CDL. The process to obtain a hearing exemption waiver was instituted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Ohio is leading the way as one of the first states to implement testing. BMV, OCJS and OOD took the proactive step of developing Ohio test procedures, which have been distributed to the hearing impaired community and the driver training schools. “We are proud that this partnership has helped set standards and guidelines for CDL testing for the hearing impaired community in Ohio,” said BMV Registrar Don Petit. “This is just another example of our commitment to improving the customer’s overall experience.” Since implementing the new CDL testing process, Ohio has seen immediate interest from individuals with hearing impairments wanting to learn more about pursuing a CDL. At last report, more than 13 individuals were in various phases of obtaining their waiver, training or testing, with at least two individuals successfully obtaining a CDL and securing employment as a commercial driver. OOD approached BMV to collaborate on this project as an outgrowth of the Governor’s Workforce Integration Task Force (WIT). Created by the General Assembly in 2014, the WIT was charged with gathering and analyzing data in order to make recommendations regarding barriers to employment and income parity for Ohioans who are deaf or blind. The goal was to better understand the current employment environment for deaf and blind communities, and as a result, develop effective strategies aimed at helping these citizens reach their highest employment potential. “This collaboration is another example of Ohio breaking down barriers to employment for individuals with disabilities,” said Kevin L. Miller, executive director of OOD. “It means jobs for Ohioans and an expanding workforce for Ohio employers.” The CDL trucking driving industry is an In-Demand occupation supporting Ohio’s economy. From April 14, through May 13, 2016, more than 28,000 job openings with a CDL requirement were posted. The trucking industry will greatly benefit from a larger pool of qualified candidates. To find out more about an in-demand career in the transportation industry, visit OhioMeansJobs.com or your county’s OhioMeansJobs Center. In addition, BMV and OOD are developing a video with American Sign Language (ASL) that explains the requirements and testing process. The video will be available through both the BMV and OOD websites this fall so that individuals, driving schools and employers, can learn about the testing and licensure process.

Already this year, Mom’s House has helped six moms and three preschoolers graduate from school. Tickets for the Chicks Mix are $37 each and $20 for Junior Chicks (ages 20 and younger).
