PERRYSBURG YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER 1853 1935 VOLUME 160, NUMBER 32 – AUGUST 8, 2012 75¢ SINGLE COPY PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER ©WELCH PUBLISHING COMPANY, PERRYSBURG, OHIO, (419) 874-4491 Fun, entertainment attracts thousands to Wood County Fair Decision on transportation provider goes back to committee Council approves 1.45-mill public transportation levy for Nov. ballot By Deb Buker On November 6, Perrysburg voters will decide whether or not to fund public transportation services within the city of Perrysburg. At its July 31 meeting, Perrysburg City Council unanimously approved a resolution to place a five-year, 1.45-mill levy on the November ballot. If approved, an owner of a $200,000 home would pay approximately $88 annually. The estimated property tax revenue collected would be $824,476–almost half the amount ($1.5 million) currently being collected annually for TARTA services. However, a final decision regarding a transportation provider–if voters approve the funding–has not been determined. The city received six requests for proposals and narrowed selection to four services–MV Transportation, Black and White Transportation Services, LeFleur Transportation and Ride Right, LLC. Councilman Tim McCarthy welcomed Boy Scout Nolan Matus who attended the council meeting as part of his Citizenship in the Community badge. Nolan is a member of Grace Church Troop 110 * * and attends Perrysburg Junior High School. Councilman and chairman of the health, sanitation and public utilities (HSPU) committee Todd Grayson recommended proposals from Mobile Care EMS and Transportation Cost Analysis TLC be eliminated because he believes they do not have the requisite scope of experience and size for the city. After discussion and further review, the HSPU committee narrowed the selection to MV Transportation, a Texas-based company, and Black and White transportation, Toledo-based. The committee voted 2-1 to recommend entering into contract negotiations with MV Transportation–Mr. Grayson and Councilman Tim McCarthy approved the recommendation with Councilman John Kevern casting the no vote. The ordinance to move forward with negotiations with MV was tabled at the council meeting and sent back to committee for further examination of the bids. “There is no clear support [for a provider] at this time,” said Councilman McCarthy. Council President Joe Lawless told council that he supported sending the ordinance back to committee, adding that he would like to Please turn to page 2➧ '$%&(#)*+,-.%,$/)01+,)2%++3.$+)45)-67&$%+$)%663%((#8 Warm and humid weather failed to deter thousands of people from turning out for the annual Wood County Fair last week. With temperatures soaring into the upper 80s and low 90s, fairgoers sought shade, a cool breeze and a refreshing drink where they could. Participants in the livestock competitions provided their animals with plenty of water and an occasional cool bath, while industrial fans helped keep the barns cool. In addition to the livestock competitions, fairgoers enjoyed rides, games, food and entertainment. Clockwise from top left: the Pork-a-lean building once again attracted huge crowds, eager to eat the sandwich, which is available only during the fair; Perrysburg Township firefighter/EMTs–from left Mike Green, Alec Smith, Barrett Dornel, Dave Bitz and Jake Hoffman–provided first aid to anyone who was injured or overcome by the heat on August 2; Dolan Peter, six months, with help from his mother Christle enjoys a pony ride–the family was visiting the area from Virginia; Maya Mason, 3, held by her father Jeff, is fascinated by the horses, and Matt Ducat, Bob Schrader and Rob Ducat decided to attend the fair dressed as Knights in shining armor. !"#$%&'()%#* 34*!"#$%&'"(#()'$ ?-#@A*B*CD)(0 F0G-0H"*!"#$%&'"(#()'$ I)J0*I)KD(7*FF+ avoided.” Fact-finder recommendation: “A wage re-opener in 2014 is not recommended. “Since 2008, the parties have been resorting to the dispute resolution procedures of SERB. A wage re-opener encourages either party to turn to such procedures when bargaining becomes difficult. Moreover, the city acknowledges that the city is continuing a trend of steady growth, The city has eliminated all of its debt. In addition, the city’s revenues from income tax collections in 2012 are running approximately similar to the amounts received in 2011. Accordingly, I believe that the interest of stable labor relations is best served by recommending a three-year contract without a wage reopener.” IAFF Local 3331 Response By Pete Scarborough, Vice President “On February 28, 2012, the contract between the City of Perrysburg and the Perrysburg Professional Firefighters International Association of Firefighters Local 3331 expired. The firefighters requested to begin negotiations with the city on November 27, 2011. The city was not available to meet with the firefighters until January 2012. At that meeting a new contract could not be agreed to, and the next meeting did not take place until after the contract had expired. The firefighters continued to work and provide their usual level of care to all the citizens of Perrysburg in emergency medicine, fire suppression and fire prevention. 1(,-"&./%-.( '*%/0 2(,-"&./%-.( '*%/0 3(,"$.4"&%5( '*%/0 6(,"$.4"&%5( '*%/0 *****56/78//199 *****<8E7;;/1<6 *****/:=7996166 *****/;67E;<1<: *****5:67:8;1<5 *****</67;6=1;9 *****/5676=:166 *****//57:9;1:5 *****5557:;:1;< *****<9=79851/6 *****/E97/=/1=6 *****/9/7;/51</ *****98<7;6<169 *****58<7E/91;5 *****<=97:/81:< *****<8:7<=/1/; *****9/578=81;9 *****5/=796<1=E *****</E795:16; *****<:/7;/<196 Councilor Ermie statement on policy 44 Jon Eckel, director of public service, utilizes new retire/rehire policy City rejects fact-finder report, but firefighters unanimously approve report for Perrysburg Professional Firefighters International Association Local 3331 contract After an executive session last week, Perrysburg City Council voted to reject the fact-finder report between the City of Perrysburg and the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) Local 3331. According to the report, “since the parties have reached an impasse in negotiations with respect to the issues of wages and duration, the parties have submitted their dispute to fact finding.” The fact-finding hearing was held on May 15 at the municipal building. Wages The report stated the following: “Local 3331 proposed maintaining the current pay matrix with annual increases for its bargaining unit members, as follows: effective March 2012–3 percent; effective March 2013–3 percent, and effective March 2014–3 percent. The city has proposed annual increases of 1.25 percent for the local’s unit members, based upon the current pay matrix.” The fact-finder recommendation states: “The local unit members are to receive the following increases in wages based upon the current pay matrix: 2.75 percent in 2012; 2.5 percent in 2013, and 2.5 percent in 2014.” Duration of Agreement “The city seeks a wagere-opener in the third year of the contract. The basis for doing so is the uncertain state of the economy which, in effect, makes it difficult for the city to predict its economic condition for two years. “The local unit claims that a wage re-opener in 2014 leads to an expenditure of time and expense for the parties which should be +(,-"&./%-.( '*%/0 A few more meetings took place and the city and the firefighters agreed to everything with the exception of wages. The firefighters were asking for the same level of wage increase that most of the city administrators gave themselves. It should be noted that the administration has given themselves 2 to 3 percent and/or extra vacation days every year, on average, for the past few years. The city came to the table with an offer of zero; the union started at 3 percent. With no agreement both sides agreed to bring in a fact-finder. The purpose of this factfinder was to bring in someone who is unbiased. The fact-finder acted fairly, modestly, equal, with a good conscience, sound judgment and in order to attempt to keep good labor relations. The fact-finder was presented with both sides of the issues and researched all the facts to confirm them, as well as gather any pertinent information on the matter in question and then made his recommendation based on these facts. This is the second consecutive contract in which the firefighters have had to use a fact-finder. The last fact-finder recommended a 3.25 percent wage increase in year one, a 3 percent increase in year two and to reopen negotiations for the third year’s wages. The city rejected that recommendation and forced the firefighters to go to a conciliator. This cost both the city and the firefighters nearly $4,000. Now we come to this year’s fact-finder report and again the fact-finder, having reviewed all the facts, makes a judgment based only on those facts and the facts he/she discovered in their own investigation. This year the fact-finder has recommended wage increases of 2.75 percent in 2012 (half of which is over), 2.5 percent in 2013 and 2.5 percent in 2014. The firefighters, even though this is not what they were asking, unanimously agreed to this. This was agreed to save the cost of having to go to a conciliator for both the city taxpayers and the firefighters. However, city council had six people arrive for their vote and all six voted to refuse this recommendation. This was not what the city had wanted to offer nor was it what the firefighters had wanted; it was recommendation by a third party based only on facts. The city, the fact-finder and the firefighters all agree the city can afford it. The city just does not want to pay it. Over the last six years, the city has carried a high amount of unencumbered fund balances. In 2006 it was $2,705,316 or 22 percent, in 2007 it was $3,495,379 or 27 percent, 2008 it was $3,737,219 or 19 percent, 2009 the total was $2,999,180 about 17.5 percent, 2010 created $3,462,090 or 20.5 percent and 2011 the total was $3,948,103 or 21 percent. The ability to pay is there. ‘Because we do not want to,’ is a childish stance and does not help labor relations. If the city was in some sort of financial trouble they would expect, and likely receive, concessions from the firefighters. However that is not the case here. Now that this recommendation has been rejected, both parties can continue to discuss other options. However the Perrysburg firefighters have been working, continuing providing excellent care since February, without a contract. The city has refused to sign an agreement giving the firefighters any back increase since this contract expired in February of this year. Therefore any wage increase the firefighters do get this year will only be for approximately half the year. If the parties cannot agree, they will go before a conciliator. This person will decide what the agreement is and both parties will have to accept it. The last time this occurred was during the last contract and the conciliator gave the firefighters the amount the fact finder has recommended 3.25 percent, 3 percent and reopen year three. However the city would not give the back pay as that contract also had expired some months before. So the conciliator awarded 0 percent in year one and 6.75 percent in year two and reopen year three. To me this seems like an exercise in futility. Does anyone expect the conciliator to see the facts any differently? Does anyone else see this as a waste of nearly $4,000 plus legal fees? Is paying the lawyers and conciliator more important than paying these men and women a basic cost of living increase? Since the money is still being paid out by the taxpayers, who should get it? The firefighters who provide an excellent level of service to the citizens of Perrysburg and deserve a fair cost of living expense? Or the lawyers who represent them and the city? Thank you.” By Deb Buker Perrysburg Director of Public Service Jon Eckel recently submitted a request to Mayor Nelson Evans to retire and be rehired according to the newly instituted administrative policy 44 allowing city employees to retire and then reapply for the same or a different position. The mayor approved the request and at its July 31 meeting, Perrysburg City Council also granted approval for retirement and rehire of Mr. Eckel. According to policy stipulations, city council then set a public hearing date for September 4. The mayor said, Mr. Eckel, who has served the city for more than 37 years, will be rehired at the low end of the pay scale and will receive two weeks of vacation time. He also noted that according to the Ohio Revised Code, the employee must either be separated from employment for two months or waive two months of pension, and for positions in the senior administrative staff and above, there must be a pub- lic hearing. The director of public service stated at the July 24 meeting of the personnel committee that he plans to continuing working for another five years. He also noted that the city will save approximately $28,000 annually on his salary and PERS (Public Employees Retirement System) will save approximately $18,500 over the five year period. Mr. Eckel elected to waive the two month retirement benefits so there will be no gap in his tenure. “I don’t think I need to tell you how much I enjoy this job,” he said to council members and administrators. The timeline set by administration, states that Mr. Eckel’s effective date of rehire will be October 1. Councilor and Personnel Committee Chairperson Maria Ermie’s Statement on Policy 44 “There is a misconception that administrative policy 44 was created to allow the city to rehire retirees. This is not true. Prior to Please turn to page 2➧ By Jane Maiolo At the August 1 meeting, the Perrysburg Township board of trustees approved a 10-year, 100 percent tax abatement for Four M Holdings Ltd./Northwood Industries. The Wood County Commissioners approved a similar agreement at their August 2 meeting. Four M Holdings sought the abatement for an addition the company is constructing at its Cedar Business Park location. The company, owned by Kurt Miller, plans to construct an $840,000, 12,000square-foot warehouse and will hire an additional four employees. Wade Gottschalk, associate director of the Wood County Economic Development Commission, said Four M Holdings of Ponderosa Road has reached agreements with Penta Career Center and Rossford Schools. The schools have agreed to payments at an amount equal to the regular tax assessment. Penta will receive one lump-sum payment, and Rossford Schools will see about $6,700 per year for 10 years. As part of the agreement, the township will abate about $450,000, which is equal to what the assessed taxes would have been prior to the abatement. Trustee Craig LaHote was pleased with the expansion given the economic downturn in recent years. “It’s refreshing to see,” he said. Trustee Bob Mack agreed. “I’m honored that yet another company is successful in our township.” He added, “If you’re willing to invest in our township, we’re willing to help.” Zoning Report Zoning inspector/administrator Grant Garn presented the zoning report for July. Mr. Garn noted that the township is ahead financially compared to 2011, Please turn to page 2➧ Perrysburg Township trustees approve abatement agreement with Four M Holdings Casino revenue added to road, bridge fund The Wood County Commissioners have dedicated the first quarter’s tax revenue dollars from Ohio’s casinos to the county’s bridge and road repair fund. Last week, the commissioners called a special press conference to announce their intent to commit 100 percent of the dollars received from casino tax revenues to the Wood County Engineer ’s road and bridge fund. “The first quarterly allotment will mean more than $100,000 in additional money,” said Commissioner Tim Brown, noting that state law requires 51 percent of casino taxes to be divided among Ohio’s 88 counties. County Engineer Ray Huber expressed appreciation to the commissioners. “This is wonderful. It’s great to wake up on Monday morning and find yourself $110,000 richer,” he said. Taken aback by the announcement, the county engineer has yet to allocate the funds for any particular project. “It will be put toward bridges and utilized next year,” he explained, noting that the county has more than 440 bridges. “I’ve got 10 percent of the bridges that need repaired or replaced. That’s 44 bridges,” he said. Mr. Huber plans to inspect each structure to determine which are in the most urgent need of repair. “I have a few in mind but nothing definitive yet,” he added. Mr. Brown believes investing the funds in county roads and bridges is important. “The sooner our roads and weight load limit bridges can be repaired, the less time our school buses will have to spend on the road avoiding weight limit bridges and the less time it will take for emergency responders to meet the needs of our citizens and businesses.” Mr. Brown noted that Wood County is Ohio’s seventh largest county geographically and has an unusually high number of bridges due to its origins as the Great Black Swamp. The commissioner said the dollars received will not offset the more than $2 million in lost revenues from state government funds and property taxes. To make ends meet over the past few years, the commissioners have tightened the budget, he explained. “The cuts we have made over the years allow us to utilize these dollars in a way that is beneficial to citizens,” he continued, adding, “This [revenue stream] will give us a leg up.” Mr. Brown said the commissioners will evaluate the plan on a quarterly basis.

Administrative Policy 44 applies to nonunion employees and creates guidelines that, in my opinion, deter double-dipping while controlling the situations should the mayor or council determine it is in the best interest of the city and taxpayers to rehire a retiree. “For example, there must be a compelling business reason to rehire a retiree. If the mayor makes a compelling case that is supported by council, the rehire must start out at the beginning of the salary range with two weeks vacation and remain employed no longer than six years. During that time, he/she will pay into the pension plan which benefits the pension plan but not the individual. This provides considerable cost savings to the city. “Twenty percent of the City of Perrysburg’s employees are eligible for retirement as the state is revamping its therefore, or the sign shall be removed. •Scheduled the following meetings: finance committee, Tuesday, August 14, 5 p.m.; CRA housing council, Tuesday, August 14, 6 p.m.; planning and zoning, Wednesday, August 15, 5 p.m.; board of zoning appeals, Wednesday, August 15, 7:30 p.m.; recreation, Monday, August 20, 5 p.m.; economic development, Monday, August 20, 6 p.m.; historic landmarks commission, Monday, August 20, 7:30 p.m.; personnel, Tuesday, August 28, 5 p.m.; health, sanitation and public utilities, Tuesday, August 28, 6 p.m., and planning commission, Thursday, August 30, 7 p.m. mittee (PRAC). •Approved the rezoning of the former Craig property at the corner of State Route 25 and Eckel Junction Road from highway commercial to institutional. •Authorized the extension of municipal utility services to Stacey Miller, 24620 Fort Meigs Road. •Authorized a $28,000 contract with Askren Municipal Forestry to provide urban forestry consulting services. •Amended the codified ordinance 1250.40 regarding nonconforming signs.

We live here, we have owned this business for more than 17 years, we are part of the community,” he said. “We have done a lot of work in Perrysburg over the 17 years, certainly have done a lot of work in Wood County.

As a result, we may have a significant number of employees retiring at the same time. In this scenario, it is conceivable that there may be a business need to rehire a retiree, especially since the city has recently experienced considerable management turnover. As you know, within the last few weeks, the city has hired a new city administrator, planning and zoning administrator and public utilities director while managing major issues/projects–contract negotiations, a transportation alternative to TARTA, a restructure of the department of utilities, staffing analysis, the wastewater treatment plant long-term plan, etc. “In addition to these new hires, our director of public service, Jon Eckel, has decided to retire.

Call Matt or Sarah at 419-874-2528 Anyone can enjoy the freedom and socialization that goes with bicycling in a park. That is the simple premise of PEAC–Programs to Educate All Cyclists–a Michigan-based program coming to Toledo on Friday, August 10 at Swan Creek Preserve Metropark. A “demo day” will be held at the Airport Highway parking area of the Metropark from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Staff and volunteers from PEAC will be on hand to demonstrate the types of adaptive bicycles that are available. The demonstration is open to everyone. PEAC is a national leader in the field of teaching cycling skills to individuals with cognitive, physical and emotional disabilities. The program’s mission is to enhance the lives of participants by using cycling for transportation, integrated recreation, fitness and therapy. PEAC also strives to integrate cyclists with disabilities into the mainstream cycling community by giving them the skills necessary to participate in tours, races and bike club rides. In July, PEAC held a demo day at Wildwood Preserve, which was attended by children from Camp Cricket at the Ability Center. A seven-week program is being planned, and the demo day events are an opportunity to show what the program can do and gauge how many people may be interested in seeing a PEAC program in northwest Ohio. The event is being supported by PEAC, the Ability Center, Metroparks and Maumee Valley Adventurers, a local bicycling and travel organization. Anyone interested in an individualized ride can make arrangements by contacting Sarah Krueger at the Ability Center, 419885-5733. For more information about PEAC, visit www.bikeprogram.org.

Prizes for readers were donated by Mr. Freeze, ODeer Diner, Perry Falls Mini-Golf, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, McDonald’s and Chick-fil-A. The success of the summer reading club was made evident with a total of 582 readers participating, 2,417 stickers given and prizes received. Attendance to the various programs reached a total of 1,881. Owens-Illinois contributed funds which made the summer events possible. Programs included the Mad Cap Puppets presentation of “Rumpelstiltskin.” The audience was captivated with the performance and enjoyed ice cream on the porch afterwards. The Toledo Zoo presented an interesting program on animal adaptation including demonstrations with real animals. Children traveled to W.W. Knight Preserve and came away from the nature walk with a knowledge of bald eagles and why they are no longer on the endangered species list. Youngsters munched on popcorn and held their stuffed animals as they watched the movie “Peter Pan.” The toys spent the night in the library and children were surprised to see pictures on the library bulletin board of what mischief they caused overnight at Way. Another big attraction was Jerry Schneider’s presentation on bats. After learning interesting facts about these animals, children then made bat T-shirts. The summer began with a magic show by a professional magician and ended with a magic show presented by “newly discovered magicians.” This show was very special as the magicians were students of magic classes held at the library for elementary aged students in July. Instruction of the wonders of magic was given by Richard Lake. Many enthusiastic magic lovers attended the performance on July 25. In addition to these programs, children also participated in the Page Turner’s Book Discussion group. Lively discussions revolved around “The Capture,” by Kathryn Lasky and “Ridge Runner Rescue,” by Mike Graf. Children read to some very special dogs throughout July. This program is provided Perrysburg travel softball tryouts will be held on the following dates: •U10, birth year 2002 or younger–Tuesday August 7, and Thursday, August 16 •U12, birth year 2000 or younger–Wednesday, August 8, and Tuesday, August 14 •U14, birth year 1998 or younger–Thursday August 9, and Wednesday, August 15 The tryouts will be held at Slaske/Rivercrest Fields #2 and #3, 13761 Eckel Junction.

What better time for hometown resident Barney Schwind Sr. to tell about his experiences as a seaman in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Recently, Way Library interviewed Mr. Schwind for the Library of Congress veterans history project. Way Library is a partner in this project and continues to tape hometown veterans, preserving their service stories for national, local and family history. Mr. Schwind’s local roots date back to 1852, when his great-grandfather, Valentine Schwind, emigrated from Germany to Perrysburg. This village pioneer was a wagon maker and ran a shop in the first block of West Front Street. Receiving land from his service in the Civil War, he later established a farm on Five Point Road. Four generations later, on June 9, 1922, Mr. Schwind was born at home on West Seventh Street. “I graduated from Perrysburg High School in 1940,” he said. “Our senior class took a trip to the World’s Fair in New York City. We rented a Greyhound bus. It took us two days to get there and was quite the trip. “After high school, I really didn’t have any plans. I was working for Henry Uthoff. He was an old German who had a cigar business. His shop was on the second floor of his house on the corner of Sixth and Louisiana. It’s still there. He didn’t sell cigars from here, only made them–and made them by hand. He’d get the tobacco from Virginia. They would come in hands or leaves. I’d wrap the leaf around my hand and pull the stem out and he’d make homemade cigars out of it. After the cigar was made, I’d put cellophane around it, fold it over and slip a band on it to hold the wrapper in place. Mr. Uthoff would put them in cigar boxes, 50 to a box, and secure the lid with a small nail. He would travel around to cigar stores and taverns to sell his cigars. One place he went to in Perrysburg was Keith Muir’s City Cigar Store. It was up on Louisiana in the second block. It was also a tavern and restaurant. I earned $12 per week. I was working for Mr. Uthoff when Pearl Harbor was bombed. “I decided to enlist in the Navy, really to stay out of the Army. Some of my buddies had gone into the Army and got shipped overseas in a few months. The Navy seemed better duty. They had real beds and decent food. The Army ate out of tin cans. “I spent about 12 weeks in boot camp at Great Lakes in Chicago. They asked if anyone was interested in going to radio school. So I signed up for radio school and took some instruction at Great Lakes. After awhile, they asked if I wanted shipboard or aviation school and I picked aviation. I was soon shipped to Memphis, where I saw my first airplane. I started aviation school there and was assigned to a PBY squadron. “Let me explain what a PBY was. A PBY was a flying boat. They were a slowmoving airplane used in antisubmarine warfare and patrol bombing. In fact PB stands for patrol bomber. The Y stood for the plane’s manufacturer. Our biggest advantage is that we didn’t need a runway to land. The early PBY’s didn’t even have wheels. Seabees would attach wheels to them on the side and bring them up a ramp and take them down the runway to the hangar. Later on they had wheels that could be raised up alongside of the plane when you wanted to take-off or land in the water, which was the kind I was on. “The PBY was pretty well armed. We had twin 30mm guns on the bow, twin 30mm guns on the tail, and twin 50’s in the turret. I think we had about eight guys in the crew. I was a gunner or radioman. We could carry about six or eight passengers. “Part of my PBY training was in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Navy had a gunnery school there. It was about an eight or ten-week program. One day I went up in the plane for training. I was to practice on a twin 30mm. Another plane flying nearby was towing a large piece of canvas, which was used as the target, and my objective was to try and hit this target. The bullets were marked with different colors of paint so they would know where they came from. “I was firing a turret gun. The instructor told me I was firing too high. We made another round, and I lowered the gun. I fired. The instructor repeated that I was still firing too high. We came around again. I fired lower and hit the plane towing the target. I told my instructor that I didn’t think I was shooting that high. The tow plane started flying erratically, dropping and gaining altitude several times. I was praying that he would land O.K., and he finally did. As soon as I got down, I heard my name being paged. ‘Aviation Radio Third Class Schwind report to the commanding officer immediately.’ “I walked in shaking all over. ‘What do you mean by shootin’ down my airplane, boy?’ the old man said. He was a southern boy. I told him the gun was sighted wrong. After we had landed, the gunnery instructor and the airplane captain checked the gun and it was way off. ‘I was trying to correct for it, sir,’ I told him, ‘but I guess I didn’t correct for it enough.’ The old man said, ‘You sit there and don’t you move.’ They brought in the ordnance guy, and he chewed him out. There was a lady in there too and I don’t know what she had to do with it, but he yelled at her too. The maintenance guy was called in. The commander said to him, ‘What do you have to say about this guy shooting your gun and shooting down my airplane?’ He said he didn’t have time to get around to all of the guns to check them, and that he was very sorry it happened. The commander then asked the ordnance man how often the guns were checked. He said that they sometimes don’t get to them for two or three days. The old man asked how often the planes go up. Every day, sir, the ordnance man said. ‘So you don’t check the guns until the third day, and this man shoots down one of my airplanes. Get out of here; you’re going out to sea!’ After Mr. Schwind completed training, he was sent to North Africa. It was a place called Port Lyautey located in Morocco. It was home to a large Naval air station which served as a staging area for many Allied operations in North Africa and the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations. Several Navy PBY Catalina patrol squadrons were headquartered here, as well as Army Air Force units patrolling the Atlantic Ocean approaches and Straits of Gibraltar. There was constant vigilance for German U-Boats. In addition, the airfield was used as a stop-over for personnel and cargo transport. “We went on patrols in the Mediterranean looking for German subs, sometimes going as far as the Suez Canal. It was important that the canal stay open and to prevent any sabotage by the Germans, although we had pretty much chased them out of Africa by the time I got over there. But there were a lot of boats moving through with troops and hardware and we acted as protection for some of these convoys. We also did search and rescue missions. I remember one time we picked up some North African women, evacuating them to the base hospital. I was usually the radioman, but sometimes gunner on most of the trips. I was in Port Lyautey for about five months. In all my time there I never fired my gun at the enemy. We never encountered the enemy the whole time I was there. The German Air Force was pretty much neutralized and all gone from Africa. “I had a lot of training in radio and some in radar, and they offered me and some others a chance to become an officer. It would mean going back to school, but it also meant going back to the States. I think I was the first in line.” Mr. Schwind was sent to Stevens Institute in Hoboken, New Jersey, as part of the V-12 program. This was a program to send prospective Naval officers to college to study in areas most needed by the Navy. After three semesters, which took a year, the candidates received their commission. You also received full college credit for the courses taken. Mr. Schwind began studying radio repair. “The best part of Stevens was that I met my wife, Leonilda Angeli, while I was there. She was from the Bronx in New York City. My buddy, a redhead nicknamed Rusty, was going out with Lee’s cousin Flora Paginelli. He took me to a party at Flora’s one Sunday and fixed me up with Lee. She was a jewelry buyer at Macy’s. When I first saw her, I thought where do I sign up? “We got married on Barney Schwind on a recent visit to Way Library Barney Schwind, on leave in 1943, in front of his home at 329 West Seventh Street. March 17, 1946, in St. Roche’s Church in the Bronx. This was the only day during Lent that Catholics were allowed to get married, and we took advantage of it. I was transferred back to Great Lakes and took some radar school. The Navy had invested a lot of training in me, and they asked me to stay in. I said no and I was discharged. I wanted to get out and start my own business.” Mr. Schwind talked his smart and sophisticated New York City bride to come back to Perrysburg with him. “When I came back to Perrysburg, my wife and I lived with my parents, then we moved above the old Houck’s drugstore,” he said. “We went up there and it was a ramshackle of a place –one big room. I think it used to be the old telephone exchange at one time. Mr. Houck was using it as an attic, and there was a lot of old junk stored up there. My buddy Jim Cryan and I cleared it out, painted the whole place and put a new linoleum floor down and fixed it up pretty nice. It was tough to find a place to live in Perrysburg right after the war. Later, we rented a house at Sixth and Cherry. Then we built our house on Walnut, where we still live today.” After the war, Mr. Schwind had plans to start his own radio repair business. He found himself in the right place at the right time. Television had just started making inroads. He took some TV repair schooling using the GI Bill and started fixing this new invention that beamed a moving picture right into your living room. He was probably among the first TV repairmen in the area. “The GI Bill even paid for some of my equipment and tools,” Mr. Schwind said. “I also worked for some car dealers, repairing automobile radios. For a time I worked for a fellow named Glenn Doren in Rossford. He wanted to get out of the radio business and I opened a TV and radio repair store in Rossford sometime later.” Mr. Schwind could often be seen around Perrysburg driving his Pontiac station wagon making house calls sort of like a doctor. His black bag though, contained capacitors, resistors and tubes of all makes and sizes. Those early TV’s were large and heavy, more furniture than screen, some even had doors on them. He did brisk business, as his nearest competition was Charles Lober, who stuck to mostly overthe-counter repair business from his storefront in Perrysburg. “I enjoyed my time serving my country,” Mr. Schwind said. “If it hadn’t been for the service, I wouldn’t have met my wife and went into radio and TV repair. The service formed my whole life. I was lucky that nothing ever happened to me, but I felt sorry for and prayed for the guys that were not so lucky.” ‘Helping Hands for Haiti’ to be Sunday at Grace UMC A Perrysburg-based mission serving the people of Haiti will hold its seventh annual major fund-raiser this Sunday, August 12, at Grace United Methodist Church. The benefit will support Missions International of America (MIA), which operates a school and farm resource center serving the impoverished people of Haiti. The event will be 2 to 8 p.m., at the church, 601 East Boundary Street, and is open Dr. Nielsen, third from left, with a group of Haitian men at one of the recently-installed water stations. to the public. Entertainment includes Perrysburg Musical Theatre selections from “Sound of Music,” Jim Groton on piano, Winfree, praise bands and Nancy Janosky.

Owens will be honored with MIA’s Compassion Award for its fund-raiser to finish a computer lab/workshop room and supporting a student, Brad Fields, to go on a spring mission trip. Perrysburg residents Dr. Jay Nielsen, M.D., and his wife Jan founded Missions International of America, a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation, 11 years ago. The Brad Reddick School in Savanette, Haiti now has nine teachers and 300 students. The school is named for Perrysburg resident Brad Reddick, who died of cancer in August 2004. Dr. and Mrs. Nielsen lead medical teams throughout the year to Savanette with family physicians, dentists, surgeons and an eyeglass program. Mrs. Nielsen has organized 50 Haitian women in the “Circle of Life” beading program who make $400 each year creating jewelry from magazine pages. Dr. Nielsen has coordinated the installation of 9,000 feet of PVC pipe, two wells and 13 family gardens, a research garden and is preparing to build a new conference center and Farm Resource Center designed to teach 72 Haitian farmers agricultural techniques. “Last year the ‘Buy a Pipe’ program was so successful, it allowed us to expand pipe down the road, add more gardens and water stations,” Dr. Nielsen said. “This year we will focus on ‘Grow a Farm’ and the proceeds will help supply plants, seeds, nursery stock and equipment as we move forward with the Ron Meier Farm Resource Center.” For more information, visit the Web site www.mis sionsinternationalofamer ica.com.
