The NICC is the U.S. premier event that crowns NICA’s national champion. To qualify to compete in this event, ice carvers had to place first, second or third at any NICA-sanctioned competition or scoring a bronze medal during their career. This event has two categories–professional and master. The professional category is for carvers who are at the bronze to low silver range in scoring. The master category is geared to carvers who consistently score silver to gold medals. Twenty, first-class master and professional ice carvers will compete in Perrysburg for $15,000 of prize money and the national title and then display their ice creations. Master and professional division carvers will be given three hours on Friday to carve one block of Levis Commons and four hours on Saturday in downtown Perrysburg to carve a two block showpiece. Joining the competition in the master category will be Rich Daly, who is recognized by the Guinness World Records as “the World’s Fastest Ice Carver.” Mr. Daly captured the title in 2013 after carving 60 ice sculptures in two hours, 52 minutes and 12 seconds, beating the old record of four hours, 22 minutes and 55 seconds set back in 2002. Mr. Daly, from Long Island, New York, has been carving ice since 2000 and is president of Ice Melodies, Inc. Throughout the winter, the ice carver travels to local and nationally sanctioned- ice carving competitions and is recognized as one of the top carvers in the U.S. earning two gold medals at the 2014 U.S. National Ice Carving Championships. He became the U.S. National Speed Ice Carving Champion in 2012 and the Masters Division Multi block Champion in 2014. Mr. Daly has won more than 50 NICA medals from recognized events, which includes five gold medals in five events this season. When not traveling and carving ice, Mr. Daly is employed by the William Floyd School District on Long Island as a culinary arts teacher. “We are very excited to host the ice carving championships in Perrysburg. And to have 20 master and professional carvers from around the country including Rich Daly is awesome,” said Rob Brunner, event chairman. “We are expecting thousands of people to visit downtown Perrysburg and the Town Center at Levis Commons to watch the competition and enjoy the many activities planned for the event.” In addition to the competition, there will be ice carvings sponsored by area businesses and organizations on both sides of Louisiana Avenue and Levis Commons for public viewing. For a complete schedule of Winterfest events and activities, see page 9. Rich Daly, one of the top ice carvers in the U.S., will compete in the 2015 U.S. National Ice Carving Championships Friday and Saturday at Perrysburg Winterfest. Mr. Daly, shown with his “praying mantis” sculpture, is recognized by the Guinness World Records as “the World’s Fastest Ice Carver.” Below, a preview of the weekend event–Chad Hartson of Ice Creations and event judge, created an ice sculpture for Kingston of Perrysburg residents.

The treasurer ’s office and conference room on the second floor of the Commodore Building were completed two years ago. In December, the board of education approved contracts–totally $354,536–for the next phase of renovations. Contracts included Midwest Contracting, general trades and electrical, $227,900; Noron, Inc., heating, ventilation and air conditioning, $94,136, and Mondo Mechanical, plumbing, $32,500. The renovations include the demolition, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning and general construction of the south side of the second floor and the entire second floor hallway. When completed, the area will house the superintendent, director of communications, and director, assistant director and executive assistant of teaching and learning. “It is going to take some time to completely renovate this building,” said Matt Feasel, district treasurer. “We still have Above, Commodore Building entrance 2009; below, entrance 2015. the first floor to do once we get past the second floor. We are taking pride in this building.” Renovations on the first floor yet to be done include the two public unisex restrooms, the shop area, main hallway and visitors entrance. The superintendent told board members that staff offices and workspace, locker rooms, roofs, windows, HVAC, doors and tuck-pointing have been the bulk of the renovation costs. “We know that the Please turn to page 2➧ Trustees, ODOT discuss proposed Route 199 roundabout projects Sen. Portman calls for strong U.S. leadership overseas By Beth Church While the nation continues to sort out problems of unemployment and a sputtering economy, U.S. Senator Rob Portman believes strong leadership can help solve problems overseas in Ukraine and the Middle East. “The strength of our country is not our government. The strength of our country is our people,” said the Cincinnati native, who was elected to the Senate in 2010. Senator Portman was the keynote speaker for the Wood County Republican Club’s annual Lincoln Day Dinner February 6 in Bowling Green. A lawyer, he began his political career in 1993 when elected to the U.S. House of Representatives where he served for 12 years. In 2005, he left Congress when asked to serve as the U.S. Trade Representative, a Cabinet-level official responsible for implementing and enforcing U.S. trade policy. He then became director of the Office of Management and Budget. Senator Portman is a member of the Finance Committee, Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Energy and Natural Resources Committee, and Committee on the Budget. He is also chairman of the permanent subcommittee on investigations. The senator was proud to see the Keystone XL pipeline bill recently pass through Congress after six years. He acknowledged that President Obama may veto the bill, but “the American people will see the difference.” “Republicans believe in more jobs, in energy independence in America. People say ‘Democrat, Republican, what’s the difference?’ Oh, there’s a difference,” he insisted. U.S. Congressman Bob ing renovations began six years ago–in 2009, said Superintendent Tom Hosler at the recent Perrysburg Board of Education work session. “It is a sensible approach to housing administration, providing meeting space for employees and community members as well as gym and auditorium usage for students and the community,” he explained. “This plan has been designed to reflect the need to invest in this district building to keep it safe and secure while being respectful of the challenging economic times that we continue to face.” The superintendent explained the issue of having an empty school building used as a district’s central office is not unusual, noting that Sylvania, Maumee and Washington Local school districts all have board offices housed in older school buildings. Several years ago, local architect Jeff Normand led a meeting with a cross section of community members to discuss the green space adjacent to the Commodore Building–Commodore Schoolyard Square. “The district is commit- By Jane Maiolo The Perrysburg Township trustees renewed their discussion on State Route 199 roundabouts after the recent closure of Scheider Road at Route 199. At the February 11 afternoon meeting, the trustees met with Mike Stormer, ODOT District 2 planning engineer, to learn more about two Route 199 roundabouts proposed for the intersections of Carronade Drive and Roachton Road. The trustees asked Mr. Stormer what financial obligation the township would bear in extending Carronade to Route 199 and in constructing the roundabout. With regard to the cost to extend Carronade, Mr. Stormer said that expense rests with the township and the developer. For the roundabout, District 2 will lead the funding effort, applying for an ODOT safety-funding grant on the township’s behalf. He believes financial support of the project by the trustees will help to secure the grant. Trustee Bob Mack said the township received $50,000 years ago when the developer purchased the land through the Wood County Port Authority. The funds were earmarked for extension of the road. “Would it be better to devote it [$50,000] to the roundabout?” he asked. Mr. Stormer responded that he didn’t know if the funds would be sufficient to help secure the grant, and suggested the money be put toward the extension of Carronade Drive instead. “The immediate need is to get the extension through,” he added. Trustee Gary Britten questioned whether the township could apply for grant funding for the roundabout prior to completion of the Carronade/Route 199 intersection. “No,” replied the planning engineer. He said there are two rounds of funding–April 30 and September 30– and reiterated that District 2 will file the application on behalf of the township, City of Perrysburg and Perrysburg Schools. The trustees also asked for an update on the roundabout at Route 199 and Roachton Road. Mr. Stormer said District 2 has received funding. The project is in the planning stages, and work will be performed in June 2016. “We’re looking at land and right-of-way purchases now,” he explained, adding that the road will be shifted to the southwest corner to minimize the impact on existing homes. Other Business In other business, the trustees: •Heard from Fire Chief Tom Brice that there were 172 calls for service in January, the second largest volume of calls the department has ever had. “It was a pretty busy month for us,” he said. •Discussed funding for a roundabout at Roachton and Hull Prairie roads. Administrator Walt Celley said the Wood County engineer’s office believes it can obtain a federal grant to pay for part of the project, but would like to know if jurisdictions comprising the intersection–Perrysburg Township, Middleton Township and the City of Perrysburg- would be willing to assist with funding. Mr. Mack said he is willing to discuss the issue, but does not want the township to pay “the lion’s share.” He noted that a portion of the area is being annexed by Perrysburg, and believes the traffic will be largely city motorists. •Authorized Mr. Celley to apply for an Ohio Turnpike noise mitigation grant to use for the portion of the turnpike abutting the Belmont subdivision. •Tabled until a March meeting a discussion on a backup computer system for the fire department server due to the loss of information pertaining to the first few runs of the year. •Heard from Mr. Stormer that ODOT is moving forward with plans to install a sidewalk along several hundred feet of road from Perrysburg Commons to the Holiday Inn French Quarter on U.S. Route 20. No timeframe for completing the project has been set. •Met in executive session to discuss personnel discipline. No action was taken following the session. The trustees next meeting is at 6 p.m., Wednesday, February 18, at the township hall, 26609 Lime City Road, and is open to the public. State senators introduce bills to improve lake From left, Wood County Commissioner Doris Herringshaw, County Auditor Mike Sibbersen, and Clerk of Courts Cindy Hofner meet with U.S. Senator Rob Portman. Latta introduced his colleague at the dinner, also noting the new political climate with the Republicancontrolled Senate. “We had 382 bills sent to the Senate–and none got through [Senate leader] Harry Reid,” Mr. Latta said. In contrast, “last week in the Senate, more amendments were heard on the floor than the entire year before under Harry Reid,” he said. Three weeks ago, Senator Portman recalled he had been pheasant hunting in Paulding County with Rep. Latta. Out in freezing weather, the senator couldn’t resist the joke–“It was so cold, the politicians’ hands were in their own pockets.” Senator Portman is glad to see economic development taking place in Wood County–the innovation center at Owens Illinois, the CSX intermodal in North Baltimore and the Home Depot distribution center in Troy Township. With several Canadian companies moving to Bowling Green, he pointed out Senator Portman with Perrysburg Municipal Judge Molly Mack and Perrysburg Township Trustee Bob Mack. that the Canadian corporate tax rate recently dropped from 16 to 15 percent while the U.S. rate is 35 percent. “It’s nice to see that because more companies are moving the other way,” he added. In regard to the status of the country, Senator Portman questioned President Obama’s comment in the State of the Union speech last month that 2013 was “a break-through year.” “I wish it were so,” the senator said. It has not been “a breakthrough year” for the large number of people who remain unemployed, he said. Despite the 5.6 percent unemployment rate that is quoted, the senator believes it is actually 10 percent. “There are people who were looking for work when the President was first elected, and they have dropped out of the workforce. They’re just discouraged. And they’re not counted.” He also is concerned about the many American workers who could only find part-time jobs. “What about the more than half of American adults Please turn to page 2➧ Two state senators in Ohio are working on new legislation to protect Lake Erie and improve water quality for Ohio residents. State Senator Randy Gardner is sponsoring Senate Bill 1, which calls for establishing a new Office of Harmful Algae Management and Response in the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The office will work with local governments and water treatment plants to coordinate Lake Erie support with other state agencies and departments. State Senator Gardner, of Bowling Green, said the legislation contains updated provisions to support agriculture’s role in working to reduce phosphorus in Lake Erie and other inland lakes, summarizing the bill as a way to both “heal the lake and help the farm.” The bill also contains, for the first time, an emergency clause to allow SB 1 to become effective on the day Governor John Kasich signs it. “This legislation builds on the good work in the House of Representatives last November, but makes our commitment to cleaning up Lake Erie even stronger,” said Mr. Gardner, who represents Wood County. “There should be no question that Lake Erie is a major priority.” The new Office of Harmful Algae Management and Response would require the EPA director to coordinate responsibilities with the departments of Natural Resources, Agriculture and Health and must consult with local governments and water treatment plant operators. The office must monitor water intakes and conduct in-lake testing for toxic algae in addition to providing support for testing, treatment and training for personnel at drinking water and wastewater plants. “No matter how much progress is made in reducing phosphorus levels in the lake, we know our water treatment plants need and deserve our best efforts to support their mission to keep our drinking water safe,” Mr. Gardner said. The bill also provides an update in Ohio’s Healthy Lake Erie Fund, a budget line item he spon- sored in 2012. The fund has provided money for monitoring the tributaries feeding into Lake Erie and grants for conservation measures to assist farmers in best management practices. State Senator Gardner believes the new state budget also will be critical to make progress on the issue. Among the key provisions in the bill in addition to the new office and the fund update are: •The goal of ending open-lake dumping of dredge materials in the lake in five years. •Phosphorus monitoring of wastewater plants. •Several other provisions as passed by the House of Representatives under House Bill 490 in 2014. The first hearing on the bill was last week in the Senate Agriculture Committee, where Mr. Gardner anticipated strong bipartisan support and broadbased backing both from Lake Erie advocates and the agriculture community. Senate leaders anticipate a vote in the full Senate in February. Meanwhile, State Sena- tor Edna Brown of Toledo is introducing legislation to address the nutrient management problems in Ohio’s waterways that was one cause of last summer’s contaminated and undrinkable water for 500,000 northwest Ohio residents. “My goal is to focus on common sense solutions that will reduce nutrient runoff, clean up our rivers and lakes, and eliminate the toxic algae bloom outbreaks that contaminate our drinking water,” State Senator Brown said. This bill builds on the work done in the last General Assembly and incorporates many of the recommendations made by the Ohio Department of Agriculture and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources during committee hearings on HB 490, she said. The main contributors to toxic algae blooms are phosphorus and nitrogen runoff from fertilizers used by farms, waste from livestock pens, and inadequately treated sewage from sewer overflows and faulty household sewage septic systems.

Portman calls for strong leadership ➧Continued from page 1 who don’t have full-time work?” Senator Portman said it has not been “a breakthrough year” for middleclass families whose wages have decreased 8 percent “while health care, food and education costs have gone up.” He added that the net worth of families has dropped below the levels of 1989. However, Senator Portman believes it is unfortunate to see the aggressive actions of both Russian president Vladimir Putin and the terrorist group ISIS. “Vladimir Putin–it’s been a break-through year for him,” he said of the Russian president who has moved troops into Crimea and Ukraine. Get the inside scoop and the real truth about Perrysburg Real Estate at PerrysburgBlog.com “Ukraine is a sovereign country, and America is not standing by her allies. I think that’s a big mistake.” He and Senator Dick Durbin, a Democrat from Illinois, have launched the Senate Ukraine Caucus to strengthen the political, military, economic and cultural relationship between the United States and Ukraine. The caucus will immediately focus on the need for a sustained U.S. commitment to Ukraine in the face of a Russian-backed separatist offensive. Senator Portman, who visited Ukraine last year to serve as an elections monitor, would like to support its efforts to establish free enterprise. He does not believe U.S. troops should be stationed there, but would like to see non-lethal equipment given to Ukraine, “such as ambulances and equipment to monitor the Russians.” “The U.S. should be helping to provide that Letters policy The weekly deadline for Letters to the Editor is noon on Friday.

The senator emphasized the philosophy of “peace through strength.” “We don’t want war– that’s why we need to be strong,” he added. Senator Portman said it is disappointing that the Middle Eastern terrorist group ISIS “had a breakthrough year.” “Fallujah–we gave our treasure and we gave our blood to liberate that city that the black flag [of ISIS] flies over now.” “We left no forces and no trainers there–nothing to sustain it,” he said. “If America doesn’t show leadership, no other countries will face up to that,” he added. Instead of being “the world’s police officer,” he believes the United States should be “the world’s sheriff–and get the posse working with us.” When President George Bush confronted Saddam Hussein in 1991, there were 43 other countries, “including Egyptian tanks,” that cooperated in the Persian Gulf War and forced Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait, he explained. “I’d like to see America have that same leadership– to get fired up. Our best days are ahead of us, when America leads.” School board hears Commodore Building renovation update ➧Continued from page 1 building still needs work. We know that as you look at some of the first floor issues in terms of handicapped accessibilities for restrooms, it is a problem,” said Mr. Hosler. “As you know, we serve the needs of many different types of community members and students and we need to keep moving in that direction. We also understand and want to be sensitive to the progress in such a way that reflects the economic conditions. “We suspended quite a bit of the plans that we had simply because in 2010 we had to make some reductions here in the district. So from 2010 to basically 2012 there wasn’t anything done in this building–money was diverted elsewhere. But today, we are continuing to chip away at this.” Board member Gretchen Downs noted that a promise was made to the community when the front section of the Commodore was torn down that the district will be active in the building–it would not be a vacant building.

Yellow Jackets defeat AW Generals, 62-40 By Scott Buker The Perrysburg varsity boys basketball team earned a convincing victory over the Anthony Wayne Generals this past Friday night, 62-40, at Perrysburg High School. For the Jackets, the game was under control relatively early with the home team jumping out to a 17-6 first quarter lead. It was the opposite of when these two teams met previously, a game in which the Jackets earned a 54-53 win. “We rebounded better,” said Perrysburg Head Coach Dave Boyce on the difference between the two games. “When they came back in the first game, it was them keeping possessions alive. “We rebounded really well tonight and limited them to one shot and then we moved the ball well tonight offensively,” said the coach. “We won the loose ball and rebound battle and that’s what we stressed all week, playing on our toes and not our heels.” Jacket senior post player Zach Schrock led the way with 22 points while Trevor Hafner added 11 and Connor Jordan had 10. The Jackets improved to 15-4 overall and 9-3 in the Northern Lakes League while the Generals fell to 712 and 3-9 in the league. After building a steady first quarter lead, the Jackets stretched that lead in the second quarter. Perrysburg went on a 11-3 run midway through the second quarter, giving them a 33-13 lead. Anthony Wayne hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer before half to make the score 33-16 at halftime. Perrysburg remained strong in the second half, controlling the game 47-28 at the end of the third quarter before outscoring Anthony Wayne 15-12 in the fourth quarter to push the final score to 62-40. The Jackets limited the Generals to taking only two foul shots for the entire game. With the win, Perrysburg now focuses on fine tuning their play to ensure that they are playing their best Superintendent Tom Hosler and head football coach Matt Kregel presented TJ Fatinikun with his picture that will be displayed at Perrysburg High School prior to the start of the varsity boys basketball game. TJ Fatinikun poses with Tim Sprott, James Sprott and Owen Keller wearing Tampa Bay Buccaneer and University of Toledo football jerseys. heading into the state tournament. “We’ve had some tough, hard nosed games for three weeks now,” said Coach Boyce. “It was nice to see how we play when we got a lead, then kept a lead, and then really play smart to build the lead.” Perrysburg has three remaining games left before the start of the state tournament. The Jackets will next host Northview this Friday with the varsity game tipping off at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, the Jackets will travel to Ottawa Glandorf for a non-league matchup, starting at 7:30 p.m. State senators introduce bills to improve lake ➧Continued from page 1 Provisions of Ms. Brown’s bill include: •Transfer enforcement of nutrient management regulations from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to the Ohio Department of Agriculture following a two-year transition period. •Classify manure as a fertilizer. •Prohibit the spread of fertilizer, including manure, on frozen or saturated ground with exceptions under certain circumstances. •Commission a study examining nutrient loading in Ohio’s watersheds. “This is a priority issue for all Ohioans,” State Senator Brown said. “I understand other bills will be put forward on this topic, and I hope every idea will receive serious consideration and debate as we look for solutions to keep our waterways clean and our drinking water safe.” The Ohio Environmental Council is praising Senate leaders for fast-tracking legislation to attack the flow of the nutrients that feed toxic algae blooms in the lake. “This is just the sort of medicine that Lake Erie and our inland lakes need for the toxic algae menace that annually ail them,” said Jack Shaner, deputy director of the Ohio Environmental Council. Phosphorus and nitrogen, which are naturally present in livestock manure and commercial fertilizers, are recognized by scientists and government regulators as a prime source of nutrient pollution that feeds the growth of toxic algae. The nutrients also can be redistributed in the water column when harbor dredgings are disposed in the open waters just offshore of Toledo and other ports around the Great Lakes. “Ohio needs to go all out to protect our Great Lake–and all of our inland lakes–and the million people who rely upon it for drinking water as well as the $1 billion sport-fishing industry that it supports,” Mr. Shaner said.

I was thankful I could turn early before that intersection. The traffic was backed up down to the GMC dealer. And Costco is not even open yet. When that happens things could get ugly. I had experienced the same traffic several mornings, but I attributed that to all the young adults heading toward the high school. I sure hope someone soon addresses the timing of the lights. We may have to shop at Churchill’s or Costco by drone. Gary Johns Dear Editor: Everyday I hear of more and more government spending. The only feasible way to pay for this increase in spending is off the back of small businesses and hardworking Americans. Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted is changing that. HB 3 will reduce the fees paid to the Secretary of State’s office for starting a new business by 21 percent, and it’s the first cut to business filing fees in modern Ohio history. This plan wouldn’t be possible without Mr. Husted’s work to cut spending in his office by $14 million. Mr. Husted’s plan will make it easier for Ohio entrepreneurs to start up new businesses, and this would be the next step we need in Ohio to continue growing and move us even further away from the recession that ended just a few years ago.

Mr. Bazer will relate historical facts and sometimes humorous vignettes on the president’s wives or hostesses at the White House. “Ever since Martha Washington, we have been blessed with several fine and interesting First Ladies,” said Mr. Bazer. “As we consider a few of them, we need to understand the evolving role of the First Lady, a position not mentioned in our Constitution; nor has the First Lady always been the President’s spouse; nor is there any foreign equivalent to the role.” The audience will be asked to rank the best First Ladies; discuss whether a potential First Lady is a factor in deciding which presidential candidate for whom to vote, and do we prefer an active First Lady or one who & AQU AQ QU UARIUM UA M WINE WINE TA ASTINGS STING GS S Age A ge 21 & up.

Seven PHS musicians perform with OMEA All-State Orchestra Seven Perrysburg High School orchestra students auditioned for and were accepted to perform with the 2015 OMEA All-State Orchestra in Cleveland, Ohio, on February 7. The students were under the baton of Jeffrey Grogan and performed “The Wild Dove Op. 110” by Dvorak, “Triumphal March” from “Aida” by Verdi and “Dance No. 1” from” La Vida Breve” by De Falla. "Seven students participating at All-State is the most Kerrie Roberts to perform at Saint John XXIII Kerrie Roberts, a Christian musician whose popularity is growing rather quickly, will appear in concert at Saint John XXIII Catholic Community on Tuesday, February 24, at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The public is invited. Even at the age of 5, Kerrie Roberts stunned crowds with her vocals, as she sang solos with her church choir. The 10 songs on her self-titled debut album Kerrie Roberts are defined by empathy and openness. “My father is a pastor, so my whole family has been shaped by the church,” said Ms. Roberts. “My parents taught me to reach out to the broken and to those who need encouragement and hope. That’s something that resonates in me and something I love being a part of.” She also credits her mother as being instrumental in shaping her artistry. She began writing songs in high school and obtained a Kerrie Roberts degree in studio music and jazz vocal performance from the University of Miami. After college she continued writing, performing locally, and toured for a year as a background singer with Engelbert Humperdinck. Her songs repeatedly speak to the reality of heartache and heartbreak. “A lot of people eventually lose their faith when they expect Christianity to be all bright and shiny with a God who only answers their prayers with a ‘yes.’ I wanted my music to be an honest reflection of life,” said Ms. Roberts. “I hope that when people listen to my songs, and identify with the emotion in them, that they will know they’re not alone. And ultimately, I want listeners to be filled with a sense of purpose … a realization of truth and a promotion of hope and healing.” Tickets cost $10 in advance and $15 at the door. They can be purchased online at www.imageofgod.org.

She was born January 21, 1914, in Londonderry, Ohio (then called Gillespieville) to Blanche Heath and Harry Jones Dixon, a descendant of Simon Dixon, a prominent Quaker pacifist in North Carolina during the Revolutionary War. With her great sense of humor, strong grit, and huge determination, Marjorie lived through happy and sad times, two World Wars and the rest of the 20th and early 21st Centuries. Her father lost his farm during the Great Depression of the 1930s. She was present when rural electrification and telephone service came to Southern Ohio. She hand pumped and carried water to wash laundry, hung it out to dry, brought it in sun-kissed in spring, summer, and fall and frozen stiff in the winter. She ironed with “sad” flatirons that she heated on a coal stove. She went from riding to school in a horse-drawn wagon to jetting across North America and Europe. At age 14 she contracted scarlet fever, resulting in a loss of hearing that left her profoundly deaf. Her first hearing aid was a heavy battery pack worn on her back; she progressed to two powerful in-ear aids. She benefited from the great inventiveness of Americans all her life, and did her part to make the world better for others. After her childhood and youth in Londonderry, with her older brother Thomas, her younger siblings Mary and Joseph (all of whom she outlived), she met Malcolm “Pete” English, who worked at an insurance agency in Chillicothe, Ohio. They married in Covington, Kentucky, in 1934 and she joined him at his family home near Chillicothe. It was a double, two-story log house on a hilltop; two cabins connected by a covered breezeway. Her first three children (Charles Dixon, Mary Elizabeth, and Nancy Ellen) were born in Chillicothe. Her fourth child, Thomas Francis, was born in 1947, at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Toledo. Mr. English joined a Toledo insurance company in 1943. Marjorie and the children followed, settling in a small rental house on Roachton Road near Perrysburg, where in later years she helped him establish and run his own agency. Accompanying the family to Roachton Road was a beloved small terrier mix dog named Rags, who lived 19 years. Marjorie and her husband “Pete”–son of the Methodist Minister Charles Francis English who served numerous •JOAN KIMPLE Joan Marie (Krieger) Kimple of Perrysburg, died February 14, 2015, at her home. She was born in Ida, Michigan, to Stanley and Marie (Dziengelewski) Krieger on February 17, 1932. A graduate of Woodward High School, she worked as an office manager and legal secretary. Joan was a strong, capable person who navigated life with grace and joy. She married her husband Richard on November 30, 1959. They built their life around their daughters, their granddaughters, their gardens and the outdoors. Joan found great joy in bird watching with her husband, socializing with other birders and traveling to great birding destinations. She appreciated fine glass objects and became a knowledgeable and avid collector of American glass. She delighted in holidays, espe- churches around southern Ohio for many years–became pillars of the Perrysburg First Methodist Church. Raised a Quaker, Marjorie was baptized at age 30. She served her church faithfully, including as kitchen supervisor for countless celebratory luncheons and dinners. She and Mr. English also volunteered each year as voter monitors, welcoming voters to the polls and delivering ballots to the Wood County Election Board at the end of each Election Day. Marjorie sewed for herself and her children, planted huge vegetable gardens and canned and froze food to feed her growing family. Her flower garden was her pride and joy and solace. She shared her produce and cuttings from her flowers with her friends and family. Many of these prosper in her children’s gardens in Seattle, Washington, and Silver Spring, Maryland. Her roses flourished near her filled bird feeders. A voracious reader, her bookmark still rests in the novel she was reading the day before she died, with just a chapter to go. Her love of history and pride in her forbears led Marjorie to donate a number of personal and family items to several museums. The recently opened Perrysburg Area History Museum was the recipient of “A History of the 13 Colonies ©1898, several items of doll clothing and a ceramic doll head once owned by her mother in the 1890s, photos from that era, a velvet dress up suit that her husband wore c.1908, and several domestic items including large copper washing pots, wooden bowls, a butter churn and other things. She also donated items to other collections including the Cincinnati Museum Center, The Archives at the American University in Washington, D.C., The Ross County Historical Society, The Way Library in Perrysburg, and elsewhere. Marjorie’s husband, Malcolm “Pete” English, died in 1987. She lost her first born, Charles Dixon English, to ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) in 2007. The rest of her children, Mary English Johnson, Nancy English Bleil and Thomas Francis English, are retired. She also left six grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren, all of whom loved her deeply. It is impossible to meaningfully condense the life of this “ordinary woman,” as she called herself, who lived 101 years and 10 days. We, her family, join her many friends to wish a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother a fond farewell, confident that she is at last in the welcoming embrace of the loving God whom she sought to serve all her life, and the loving arms of those who have gone before her. Viewing will be from 4 to 8 p.m., Saturday, February 21, at the Witzler-Shank Funeral Home, 222 East South Boundary Street, Perrysburg. The funeral will take place at First United Methodist Church in Perrysburg, at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, February 22.

Gail was born January 30, 1932, in Berwick, Pennsylvania. Her father was a career Army officer and the Seely family moved often, most notably to postwar Germany in 1948, where Gail graduated from high school. She met her future husband when her family returned to the States and settled in central Indiana. Gail and Dale moved to Perrysburg in 1962–which they selected as the perfect community to raise their family and where Dale established Craig Transportation Co. Gail was devoted to her late husband, Dale, who died in 2006, and to her three sons. She was a fantastic cook and homemaker; she also delighted in decorating her homes and supported her husband in his many business endeavors. Gail and Dale travelled frequently. Later in life, they moved to Sarasota, Florida (Lido Key) and returned to Perrysburg in 2003. Gail’s passion was shopping; her inspiration was fashion. Saturdays were reserved for Jacobson’s or The Lion Store’s Ottawa Room. She was a regular at Harriet’s and other shops in downtown Perrysburg. When she could no longer go out to shop, she patronized the TV shopping channels. She could carry on a conversation while punching buttons on the phone and another necklace, purse or pair of riding boots was on its way. Besides her husband, Gail was preceded in death by her parents, Colonel Lawrence and Bess Seely, and her brother, Colonel Richard Seely. She is survived by her brother, General Ronald (Norma) Seely, and sister-inlaw, Earlene Seely. She is also survived by her sons, Michael L. (J.C. Jarvis) of Perrysburg, Brian D.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) Northern Wood County/Perrysburg Area’s Relay for Life is celebrating its 18th anniversary with a new time schedule. The 2015 Relay will be held at the Commodore Schoolyard, corner of Louisiana and Indiana avenues, on Saturday, June 6, from noon to midnight. “We are very excited with the new timeframe,” said Brian Gibson, ACS Relay specialist. “We are incorporating all of our Relay traditions–opening ceremony, walking laps, honoring survivors and luminaria ceremony–and planning a fun, familyfriendly 12-hour event. We want this to be a rebirth of Relay.” Relay for Life gives everyone an opportunity to fight cancer and help save more lives. Teams made up of family members, friends and/or co-workers set up camp and take turns walking around a track or path.

They will host a Fair Trade Sale in the basement of St. Rose Church, 215 East Front Street, after Masses this weekend, February 21-22. Matthew Basista, Gabe Noe and Gavin Lorenz–from left in the the photo–are working to answer the question: “What can we do to relieve global poverty?” “To understand the root of the problems of global poverty, we interviewed workers at Georgette’s Fair Trade Grounds and Gifts in Maumee,” Gavin explained. “We learned that what people need is not only aid, but a chance to work and support their families themselves.” In their project to aid those in need, the boys decided to contact Catholic Relief Services which helps artisans worldwide who have difficulty supporting their families. They use Fair Trade to get a fair price for their work. The public is welcome to support the sale of handcrafted goods that include jewelry, housewares and miscellaneous items. Items are priced from $4 to $30. ICK )43 ! #!2 0!249 OUR AR ICK OUR AYMENT Bridge County Bluegrass Band Live This sale is a “Thank You for 106 years”. We are the nations oldest GM dealer.

WCESC offers ‘Expect Respect’ program in Wood Co. schools February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. Relationship violence training is mandated by the State of Ohio to be included as part of every school district’s curriculum. The Wood County Educational Service Center offers a Prevention Education program in all Wood County school districts. Also available with the Expect Respect curriculum is a follow-up support group. Learning about maintaining healthy relationships and recognizing the red flags in unhealthy relationships can prevent dating violence from developing. The WCESC reminds everyone that asking for help is a sign of strength and courage, not a sign of weakness. Those who are experiencing dating violence should contact a local law enforcement office or school counselor for more information about available resources. By Jay Taylor, M.D. Dr. Taylor is a board certified emergency medicine physician at Mercy Medical Center-Perrysburg and a member of Riverwood Emergency Services physician practice. During the winter months, environmental injuries from the cold are quite common. With subfreezing temperatures (similar to what we have experienced throughout this winter season) worsened by unrelenting winds, frostbite can occur in minutes. In fact, with a wind chill of -16.6°F, exposed skin can become frostbitten in less than 30 minutes. Frostbite is freezing of the skin and underlying tissue. Ice crystals form outside the body’s cells causing the cells to rupture. As a result, the area becomes inflamed with the remaining cells and blood vessels becoming leaky. This impedes the return of blood and oxygen to the damaged tissues causing permanent injury to the body’s tissues and in extreme cases, leads to amputation. Frostbite most commonly affects fingers, toes, nose, ears, chin and cheeks. Frostnip is the first stage of frostbite, and is characterized by cold skin with a prickly feeling followed by localized numbness to the affected area. The skin is reddened. Symptoms resolve with rewarming and there is no permanent tissue damage. All other coldrelated injuries require medical treatment. With more severe cold exposure, frostnip can develop into superficial frostbite. The skin will still remain soft, but will become pale. The skin may start to feel warm. This is a sign of serious exposure. At ODNR boating safety class March 30-31 The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Watercraft is offering an Ohio Boating Education Course at the Wood County Park District in Bowling Green. The course will be offered in two sessions–Monday, March 30, and Tuesday, March 31, from 5 to 9 p.m. The Ohio Boating Education Course covers state and federal laws, navigational rules of the road, basic boating safety practices, navigational signage and more. A $5 fee covers the cost of materials, and preregistration is required due to class size limitations. Ohio law requires anyone born on or after January 1, 1982, to successfully complete either a NASBLAapproved boating course or a proficiency examination before operating a boat greater than 10 horsepower. For more information or to register, call the Maumee Bay Watercraft Office at 419-836-6003 or visit the website at www.ohio dnr.com. this stage, ice crystals are starting to form in the tissues. With rewarming, the affected skin may appear mottled, blue or purple. Blisters may appear within a day or two after rewarming. With rewarming, the affected area is quite painful. Tetanus immunization may be required. The most severe form of frostbite is known as deep frostbite. At this stage, deeper tissue is involved. Symptoms include muscle and joint stiffness with loss of dexterity. The skin will appear hard or waxy looking. Numbness is more profound, and there is loss of temperature and pain sensation. Large blisters will form within a day for two after rewarming. Because of the skin numbness, people may not be aware of the frostbite until it’s too late. Risk factors that can predispose an individual to frostbite include diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, smoking, alcohol or drug abuse, mental illness, previous frostbite or cold injury, dehydration as well as the extremes of age (very old and very young). Improper attire that is wet, too tight or permeable to the wind increases the risk of frostbite. If a person believes they have frostbite, there are some simple things that can be done prior to being evaluated by a medical provider. First, get to a warm environment. Start warming the affected area by submersing it in warm (not hot) water. Do not warm the area with the stove, radiator, heater or fire. With the frostbitten area being numb, rewarming with these heat sources can lead to burns. Do not warm the frostbitten area if there is any chance that it will be exposed to the cold again. Freezing, thawing and refreezing leads to increased injury to the tissue. Remove all wet clothing. The amount of tissue destruction is due to the duration of frozen tissue and not the temperature of the exposure. Removing wet clothing will facilitate warming. If the area of concern is toes or feet, avoid walking on them. This will Dr. Jay Taylor lead to increased tissue damage.

Videos of the incident were broadcast and posted online; protests and riots followed the shooting and the involuntary manslaughter verdict.

Jordan transforms the media spectacle into an event in a real person’s life by focusing on Oscar’s interactions with family and friends the day before he died.

After Shrek rescues Fiona from a dragon-guarded tower, the two fall in love before she reveals there’s more to her than meets the eye. Other fairytale misfits add surprises: from a Gingerbread Man with an attitude to Three Blind Mice channeling their inner Dreamgirls. This entertaining, family-friendly show features 19 songs, including “Travel Song” and “I’ve Think I Got You Beat.” The songs come from Jeanine Tesori, who wrote the music, and David Lindsay-Abaire, who wrote the book and lyrics. “Shrek the Musical” also draws from a 1990 children’s book by famed New Yorker cartoonist William Steig. Like the first 2001 Shrek film, the musical stays true to Steig’s fractured fairytale vision where dragons are friendly, swamps are better than castles, and the true hero isn’t handsome or noble but a grouchy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside ogre who is more or less content with himself and his life in a swamp.

The Perrysburg Law and Government Explorer Post sent three teams to compete with more than 3,000 other students statewide in the annual High School Mock Trial competition.

The funding will help promote oral health education in several schools in Wood County during National Children’s Dental Health Month. Dental care is the number one unmet health care need for nearly 157,400 children of all family incomes across Ohio as well as for all races and ethnicities. Nearly 486,000 of Ohio’s children are without dental insurance and almost 340,000 children in Ohio have never been to the dentist. In Wood County, 21 percent of children under 18 have not had a dental visit in the last year, 9.1 percent have never visited a dentist, 14 percent do not have dental insurance and 4.4 percent could not receive needed dental care. The Ohio Department of Health cites that 51 percent of Ohio children have experienced tooth decay by third grade. “Developing good habits such as daily tooth brushing with fluoridated toothpaste at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children to get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums,” said health educator, Jennifer Campos. “That is why our program will focus on age-appropriate educational outreach materials and distribution of oral health care supplies.” Grant recipients were selected based on a number of criteria including the number of at-risk children or adults served by the program, the program’s uniqueness, the level of community involvement in the program and the ability to measure results. “Through our Brighter Futures grant program, we provided a total of $250,000 in small community grants to organizations in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana that are dedicated to improving the oral and overall health of children and adults,” said Teri Battaglieri, director, Delta Dental Foundation. “We are very proud to recognize the work being done by Wood County Health District by selecting it as one of our grant recipients.” EPA ‘Lead-Safe’ Certified www.metzpainting.com 419-874-9499 E: ultraheatcoolinc@aol.com Fax: 419-874-7990 ‘No Mic Night’ planned for February 19 at Way Library “No Mic Night,” the monthly author support group co-sponsored by Way Public Library and Prizm Creative Community, continues each month on the third Thursday at Way Library. The meeting on February 19, from 7 to 9 p.m., will be directed by two community authors and friends Tom Barden of Toledo and Bill McMillen of Perrysburg. Participants who wish to participate or learn from a rigorous peer review session will find not only support from trusted peers but seasoned professionals in the field. Dr. William McMillen, received his Ph.D. in English from Ohio University in 1976. He also earned a master’s degree in English and creative writing from Ohio University in 1972 and a bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point in 1969. Dr. McMillen is the author of two books: a novel, “Sticks” and a non-fiction book, “From the Campus to the Capitol.” For four years, he wrote a column about higher education and gov- Tom Barden ernment relations, “The Party Line,” under the name Peter Onear for The Chronicle of Higher Education. He also has published articles, fiction, and poetry in literary magazines and academic journals. Professionally Dr. McMillen served as executive vice president for academic affairs at the University of Toledo, and also as its provost where he oversaw the creation of new colleges and innovative programs including the establishment of the University of Toledo Press. Bill McMillen While serving in a joint role as vice president for government relations for both the Medical University of Ohio and the University of Toledo from 2005 and 2006, Dr. McMillen played a key role in guiding the merger legislation through the Ohio legislature that created the combined University of Toledo. His academic career also included serving as assistant to the president at the Medical College of Ohio, and a faculty member and administrator at Bowling Green State University. Dr. McMillen retired January 1, 2013, after working more than 39 years in Ohio public higher education. Since then he has continued writing and has traveled with his wife of 45 years, Barbara, who is a retired Bowling Green State University faculty member and poet. They reside in Perrysburg and have two sons and three grandchildren. Mr. Barden is professor emeritus of English at the University of Toledo, and former dean of the UT Honors College from 2007 until his retirement in 2013. In retirement, he is an adjunct professor at Lourdes University in Sylvania, Ohio and continues to work on his personal writing projects. His research areas are American folklore and American literature, with a special focus on John Steinbeck. He is the book review editor of The Steinbeck Review. His book-length works include “Weevils in the Wheat: Interviews with Virginia Ex-Slaves,” “The Travels of Peter Woodhouse,” “Virginia Folk Legends,” “Hungarian American Toledo,” and “Steinbeck in Vietnam: Dispatches from the War.” He was a Fulbright Fellow at the University of Swansea, Wales in 1993-94 and is the Phi Kappa Phi National Scholar for 20122014. The free program is open to community members who enjoy all genres of creative writing. Participants who choose to share work for peer review should bring 12 or more copies to share, and can expect to receive inspiration, motivation, and useful feedback within an informal atmosphere. One need not share a manuscript in order to attend, take notes and learn. Those who would like to participate in optional at home/pre-class writing exercises and writing prompts for potential inspiration can join the Prizm “No Mic Night” email distribution list to receive this information which is generally distributed two weeks prior to each class. To join in on these announcements and exercises, send an email to prizm@z.net with your name, phone number, and email, with “No Mic Night” in the subject line.

When this little lady isn’t napping or looking for some affection from her many human friends among our staff and volunteers, she can often be found entertaining herself with all of the toys around the cat room. (This one LOVES to play!) Shimmer is an adult white cat, about 4 ½ years old. In temperament, she is calm, affectionate, and personable. In stature, she is quite dainty. Shimmer loves to be petted and she gets along well with her feline friends around the shelter. In fact, she can often be found cuddling up with other cats for an afternoon nap. Does Shimmer sound like the perfect addition to your family? Then come meet her today! Cass is a very energetic and active terrier mix who expresses her opinions and feelings quite freely. (It’s a charming trait!) She would love to have a very active family who can keep up with her and engage her in lots of different physical activities to satisfy her adventurous spirit. Cass has done very well around a couple of young children that she has met at the shelter, but she would prefer a home without cats. (We also haven’t had the chance to introduce her to any other dogs, so we don’t know how well she’d do with them.) Cass isn’t always active, though, and she loves her nap times as much as any dog! Think Cass might have a place in your family? Come meet her today! *All of our pets have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated appropriate to their age, tested for heart worm and current on prevention in dogs, received an initial de-worming and flea prevention, have a 14-day health guarantee and a free physical exam to local participating veterinary offices. All of our pets are also microchipped prior to adoption.** Please visit or call the Wood County Humane Society at 419-352-7339 to learn more about these great pets.

Snow, ice, dirt and other debris shall not be placed in the street, gutter or sidewalk. Once the crews have cleared the street, do not push or blow the snow from your driveway or sidewalk into the street. Passing motorists drive over the fresh snow and pack it down. When the temperature drops, that snow forms slippery patches resulting in a driving hazard. You are encouraged to wait until the snow plow crews have completed their final round before removing snow from your driveways and sidewalks next to the street. Refer to the City website at www.ci.perrysburg.oh.us to pull up City Ordinance 1022.28 and 1022.281. If such sidewalk/shared use path is not cleared within the thirty (30) hour period, the City may cause such snow, ice, dirt or other debris to be removed. Upon such action, the City may charge such occupant or owner an amount equal to its cost plus 100 percent. To report uncleared sidewalks, contact the police nonemergency number at 419-872-8001.
