Superintendent considers
resignation, but remains
Rossford Schools
Interim Superintendent Bill
McFarland considered
resigning his position, as of
this week, but has reconsidered.
At Monday’s board of
education meeting, board
members argued over the
finality of Mr. McFarland’s
decision.
“Bill had offered to
resign and took it back,”
board member Beverly
Koch said.
However, school board
president Dawn Burks said,
“he has committed to staying
on. For the majority of
the board, we are supporting
that.”
Mr. McFarland needs to
regularly assist an ill family
member who lives out-oftown,
but Ms. Burks also
added, “he had contemplated
it because of issues our
board created.”
Mr. McFarland was ill
and could not attend the
meeting.
In May, the board
approved a one-year contract
for him through July
31, 2013, at $450 per day,
for a maximum of 205 days,
which would total $92,250.
Their approval was followed
by a standing ovation
from more than 65 school
staff, parents and community
members.
Ms. Burks said she has
heard complaints from
other school employees
about board members’
actions “that made people
feel uncomfortable, or they
don’t want to work in our
district.”
“We need to support
people whole-heartedly,”
she added.
Outside of the meeting,
Ms. Burks said the board
had discussed how they
could support Mr.
McFarland’s family needs,
Donations from local residents
and businesses are
needed to help fund
Rossford’s new summertime
celebration with a fireworks
show, “Rossford Riverfest.”
The event on Saturday,
August 25, will feature a
softball tournament, children’s
activities, beer garden,
live music, marina
lighting contest and more.
The Rossford Business
Association is again spearheading
the fund-raising
efforts for the fireworks.
“Rossford Riverfest is
just around the corner, and
we need your help,” said
RBA Vice President Brenda
Schwind.
“We have raised just over
$1,400 of our $7,500 goal
for the fireworks show. We
have about three weeks to
make this happen.”
RBA member Justin
Knierim of Edward Jones,
chair of the fund-raising
committee, said the organization
is proud to spearhead
the campaign again.
“As a way for the RBA
and its members to give
back to the community that
supports our businesses, we
know that our RBA members
will once again step
forward to make this great
event possible for the
Rossford community,” he
said.
Levels of sponsorship for
Rossford Riverfest are:
•Stars & Stripes–$1,000
•Red–$500
including work schedule of
four days per week.
She noted that two other
administrators in the district
have a superintendent’s
license, plus another is
working on the license, who
could fill in when needed,
as they did when former
superintendent Dr. Susan
Lang was in China for an
exchange program.
At the meeting, Mrs.
Koch suggested the board’s
search for a new superintendent
begin this fall with
advertisements through the
National and Ohio School
Board Associations (NSBA
and OSBA) as well as local
newspapers.
If the district attracts
good candidates, she said
the cost of several thousand
dollars for a search could be
saved.
“If we’re not happy, we
can go with a search company,”
she said. “But I think
we are a pretty competitive
school district. I think
there’s a lot of people who
would want to be our permanent
superintendent.”
Mrs. Burks said the
board previously had discussed
starting the search
process in December or
January, interviewing candidates
in February and hiring
a superintendent in
March to start in August
2013.
Board member Jackie
Brown said she supports
beginning the process earlier.
“We do need a longer
time frame,” she said. “Last
year things got moved back
too far.”
Ms. Burks believes most
candidates will not commit
themselves to a contract
that early, but the issue will
be placed on the agenda for
the next school board meeting,
August 20.
Rossford
R e c o r d
— Your Hometown Newspaper —
By Beth Church
A new contract freezing
salaries and limiting benefits
for Rossford school administrators
was approved by the
board of education at
Monday’s meeting.
“The administrators did
not have to do this–they are
working with us financially
as a team,” school board
president Dawn Burks said.
The school board
approved a one-year agreement–effective
August 1,
2012 through July 31, 2013–
that covers about a dozen
principals, assistant principals,
directors of transportation,
buildings and grounds
and others.
Under the terms of the
agreement, according to
Treasurer James Rossler Jr.,
the administrators:
•will not receive a pay
raise this school year;
•forfeited one personal
day, going from four to
three;
•increased their health
insurance premium contributions
from 8 to 12 percent
this year, and agreed to pay
15 percent next year, even
though it extends beyond the
scope of the one-year agreement;
•ended any options for
performance incentives, such
as a bonus if a building
receives a state Excellent
with Distinction rating.
Ms. Burks noted the concessions
will save the district
about $150,000.
“They did that because
they want to support our district,”
she added.
Board member Doug
Miller noted that Rossford
Schools employees are
among the more highly paid
in the area, which attracts
and retains “highly qualified
people.”
“Changes must be made
and are being made,” he
said, thanking school administrators
for suggesting other
cost-saving measures that
can be put in place.
Mr. Rossler said the district
additionally will save
with an interim superintendent
serving instead of a permanent
superintendent, and
from Indian Hills principal,
Holly Schmidbauer, who has
retired and been rehired
under a one-year contract at
a significantly lower rate.
Also at the meeting, the
board approved revisions to
Mr. Rossler’s contract, setting
a 15 percent monthly
insurance premium and
removed the 3 percent pay
increase, effective August 1
of each year.
In addition, curriculum
director Michelle Shafer
recently resigned, and the district
will see a savings while
her position remains vacant.
Her salary of $103,887
was a cause for concern from
several school board members.
She had been hired
through the Educational
Service Center of Lake Erie
West and would not have
been part of the new administrators’
contract.
Mr. Rossler said a new
curriculum director will be
sought in the next several
months.
State funding of about
$95,000 is available to fund
that position, he explained,
including the cost of benefits.
Personnel Decisions
In other personnel matters,
the school board:
•Approved a revised classified
contract for Raymond
Mason, assistant mechanic,
correcting the rate of pay
from $15.36 to $19.43 per
hour.
•Approved a revised supplemental
contract for Todd

“The fireworks are something
the town looks forward
to, and your sponsorship
will go a long way
toward making that possible,”
Mrs. Schwind added.
“Let’s all work together
to make Rossford Riverfest
2012 a great event for the
community.”
Riverfest Activities
“A fun event is planned
for the entire family,” said
Ivan Kovacevic, city parks
and recreation director, who
is co-chairing the event with

Options for public transportation
in Rossford–
should the citizens decide to
leave TARTA–are spelled
out in a report for Rossford
City Council.
Clear View Strategies, a
consultant hired by the city
to explore transit alternatives,
presented a report July
18.
One option that would
offer both fixed route and
Call-a-Ride services has an
estimated cost of $250,980.
[see chart above]
Clear View attempted to
offer services that do not
exceed the two TARTA tax
levies paid by Rossford citizens,
totaling $302,000.
“The ridership data
received from TARTA and
results of public outreach
suggests that combining
fixed route and Call-A-Ride
service may be a potential
and cost effective solution,”
the report states.
This would feature two
morning and two evening
fixed route rush hour trips
between Rossford and downtown
Toledo and operating
Call-A-Ride service with
scheduled time points during
the mid-day service hours.
Some suggestions the
report offers the city when
reviewing this service
option:
•If the city elects to and is
permitted to operate service
into other communities,
Perrysburg and downtown
Toledo are good destinations
because of their proximity to
Rossford and the feedback
received from public outreach.
•Establish a park and ride
lot to encourage ridership.
Meijer or Bass Pro may be
possibilities if the property
owners agree.
•Routing the service past
select apartment complexes
might be advantageous.
•Operating service to
Hollywood Casino may be
attractive to residents to provide
service to an entertainment
destination and connect
to downtown Toledo. via the
TARTA bus stop at the casino.
This option is one of 10
alternative ways listed in the
report to deliver transportation
services in Rossford.
The other options–two
fixed routes, three Call-A-
Ride, two game day shuttles,
two Americans with
We Honor Our Service
People
Disabilities Act (ADA) paratransit
are explained below,
along with cost projections
for each alternative.
“Each alternative can be
considered individually or
combined with other alternatives
to meet the needs of the
City of Rossford and its residents,”
the report states.
Cost projections are
based on conservative hourly
rates. Fares will be the same
as current TARTA fares.
Fixed Route Option 1
Option 1 is fixed route
service that operates on
weekdays only between a
designated park and ride lot
in Rossford and downtown
Toledo.
This service is designed
primarily to move commuters–Rossford
residents
who work in Toledo and
non-residents from Toledo
and other communities destined
for job sites in
Rossford.
A potential park and ride
site can be established at
places like Meijer or Bass
Pro, however use of any site
is contingent upon obtaining
approval from the

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.
On Monday, 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
Journal readers are everywhere
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.
“Our goal will be to shift as
much as possible to county
roads and bridges.”
But given the tenuous
economy, the funds may be
utilized in other areas based
on need, he explained.
The county commissioner
expects future casino revenues
to be higher, noting
that only two casinos are
currently open–one in
Cleveland and the other in
Toledo, on Miami Street, at
the Rossford city limits.
“There are two more yet
to come online in Columbus
and Cincinnati. I anticipate
the revenue stream will go
up,” he said.

property owner.
The fixed route trip
length from Rossford to
downtown Toledo is about
11 miles one way with travel
time estimated at 35 minutes
(includes dwell time, which
is the estimated time it takes
passengers to board and
alight bus).
For fixed route commuter
service to be attractive and
convenient for riders, it
should cover a span of service
of approximately 12
hours. Option 1 would feature
10 weekday roundtrips
with each roundtrip taking
70 minutes to complete.
The estimated annual
cost to contract this level of
fixed route commuter service
on weekdays is
$183,600.
On this route, buses
would travel from Meijer to
Bass Pro, down State Route
795, along Glenwood Road
and then Dixie Highway
through downtown Rossford,
stopping at the Rossford
Public Library, then
take I-75 at Miami Street,
and end in downtown Toledo
at Erie and Monroe streets.
Fixed Route Option 2
Option 2 is similar to the
first option in that the fixed
route would run on weekdays
and serve a designated
park and ride lot but also
serve select apartment complexes
along the route.

provide the opportunity for
residents to walk to the bus
service in addition to driving
to it,” the report states.
A one-way trip on this
route is 12 miles with travel
time estimated at 45 minutes
(90 minutes roundtrip).
This option would provide
the same level of service
as Option 1, but consist
of a total of eight roundtrips.
The estimated annual
cost of Option 2 is
$183,600, the same as
Option 1.
Potential apartment locations
stops could be
Rossview Hills, Rivers
Ridge, Camelot East,
Riverview, Charles Crest,
JanDel and Karen Ann
apartments.
The route would generally
follow the same path as
the first option, but along
with stops at the apartments,
also would stop at the
library and Hollywood Casino.
“The two fixed route
options have been developed
despite not being supported
by ridership data, demographics
or feedback from
public outreach initiatives,”
the report states.
Call-A-Ride Option 1
Should Rossford residents
vote to opt out of
TARTA and implement a

routing and frequency as
TARTA’s Route 10 (current
Call-A-Ride) but would be
operated by Rossford’s transit
contractor, with an estimated
cost of $383,010.
Call-A-Ride Option 2
Instead of operating
between Rossford and
downtown Toledo like
Option 1, this routing would
end at the Hollywood Casino
in Rossford, where riders
could make a transfer onto
TARTA’s service, with an
estimated cost of $322,560.

Option 3 is contingent
upon interfacing with Perrysburg
and operating Call-

TARTA currently operates
service from Rossford
to Mud Hens’ games one
hour before the start of each
home game and 20 minutes
after the end of the game or

For Rossford to continue

Walleye home games, the
cost to operate one trip to
and from each game, based
on the team’s previous 37
game season, is estimated at
$8,880.
Implementation of service
to Mud Hens’ and Walleye
games is contingent
upon receiving approval
from TARTA to operate in
their service area.
ADA Paratransit Service
Should Rossford decide
to implement fixed route
and/or Call-A-Ride service,
it may be required to provide
complementary ADA
Paratransit service during
the same hours and days of
operation.
At a minimum, the city
should implement an ADA
service area commensurate
with federal regulations
which require complementary
ADA paratransit service
within three quarters of a
mile on either side of fixed
route service.
Rossford needs to make a
decision whether ADA service
will operate within the
city limits only or provide
service into other communities.
If the service is outside
of Rossford, it will be
required to obtain approval
from TARTA.
Other critical issues also
must be addressed:
•Rossford will need to
confirm how
TARTA/TARPS operations
will change. (Perrysburg has
opted out of TARTA and
Perrysburg officials indicated
that TARPS will not
operate service into or out of

•Will TARPS operate
trips into Rossford that originate
outside of Rossford?
•Will TARTA permit
ADA trips originating in
Rossford to operate into
TARTA’s service area?
•Will TARTA work with
Rossford for ADA transfer
opportunities?
Between April 2011 and
March 2012, there were 495
pick-ups and 480 drop-offs
for Rossford residents via
TARPS–anywhere between
30 and 64 per month.
Option 1: Rossford
would operate ADA paratransit
trips similar to
TARPS only Rossford’s contractor
would administer and
provide these trips.
According to TARTA, the
average TARPS trip length
is 26 minutes which includes
loading and unloading time.
To be conservative with cost
estimates, an additional 10
minutes has been added to
each trip. Utilizing this
methodology, the cost estimate
for providing ADA
paratransit service similar to
TARPS to is $35,100.
Option 2 assumes that all
ADA paratransit trips will
operate within Rossford city
limits only. In order to provide
a conservative estimate
on costs, the average trip
time was estimated at 20
minutes, which includes 10
minutes for loading and
unloading. Based on this
methodology, the annual
estimated cost for paratransit
service within Rossford only
is $19,500.

DVD addresses school-age
children’s concerns about stuttering
Stuttering is a frustrating
and embarrassing problem
for millions of people, but
it can be especially tough
on elementary school-age
children.
Help is available for parents,
teachers, and speechlanguage
pathologists at
Rossford Public Library
and the Wood County Public
Library in the form of a
DVD designed to help
school-age children who
stutter.
“It’s meant to give
speech-language pathologists
the tools they need to
deal with stuttering in this
age group, but it also offers
good ideas for parents and
teachers,” said Professor
Peter Ramig of the University
of Colorado at Boulder.
Mr. Ramig is one of five
nationally recognized
experts appearing in the
DVD produced by the nonprofit
Stuttering Foundation.
The DVD features students
from first through
sixth grade, some of whom
talk about their experiences
with stuttering. They talk
openly about the teasing
they face from classmates
and how their stuttering
sometimes makes them feel
about themselves.
“We focus on demonstrating
a variety of therapy

Ramig. He appears in the
DVD along with speechlanguage
pathologists Barry
Guitar, Ph.D., of the University
of Vermont, Hugo
Gregory, Ph.D., June
Campbell, M.A., of Northwestern
University, and
Patricia Zebrowski, P.D., of
the University of Iowa.
These five experts
answer questions about
stuttering, refute myths and
misconceptions, and present
examples of therapy
sessions showing how stuttering
can be reduced.
“More than three million
Americans stutter, yet stuttering
remains misunderstood
by most people,” said
Jane Fraser, president of the
Stuttering Foundation.
“Myths such as believing
people who stutter are less
intelligent or suffer from
psychological problems still
persist despite research
refuting these erroneous
beliefs.”
The 38-minute DVD,
entitled “Therapy in Action:
The School-age Child Who
Stutters,” produced by the
65-year-old nonprofit Stuttering
Foundation, is available
free of charge through
the area libraries listed
above.

Belmont Country Club swim team wins back-to-back championships
More than 400 swimmers
from five area country clubs
descended on Belmont Country
Club for the Maumee Valley
Swim League
Championship Meet last
week. Belmont’s swim team
members were gracious hosts
except when they reclaimed
the first-place trophy.
Back-to-back champs for
Belmont is a first in their
swim team history.
“These swimmers went
from a team of 32 who significantly
lost every single meet,
to winning their first championship
last year and reclaiming
the trophy this year,” said
Coach Jackie Venzel. “The
nearly four-foot trophy is displayed
at the pool entrance,
dwarfing many of the swimmers
who contributed to the
win.”
At the conclusion of a
long day, with warm but nonthreatening
weather, Belmont
tallied 570 points. Inverness
took the second place trophy
with 510 points; then Toledo,
296; Brandywine, 287, and
Stone Oak, 191.
As was the case throughout
the season, Belmont
swimmers had a strong start
with relay events. The first
events are the 6 and under
100 Meter Freestyle relays.
The girls team (Nora Davis,
Siona Naik, Cecily Martin
and Elena Neceski) brought
in points with a fifth place
finish. Then two of Belmont’s
boys teams scored first place
(Taylor Thomas. Owen Yost,
Tyler Foster and Christian
Black) and fourth place
(Oliver Lazenby, Nick
Gauchey, Drew Duesing and
Troy Pisula).
Young swimmers were
plentiful this year at Belmont
as the coaches were able to
fill two relays for several age
groups. Coming in first place
for the girls 8 and under 100
Meter Medley Relay were
Kate McClellan, back;
Aubrey Green, breast; Paige
Black, fly; and Elizabeth
Lathrop, free. Scoring additional
points for a fifth place
finish were Kate Harms,
Rachel Ward, Juliana Villani
and Gayle Rudolph swimming
back, breast, fly and
free respectively. Then two 8
and under boys teams had a
second place finish (Darin
Croy, Wesley Foster,
Nicholas Seitz and Dylan
Paule) and fourth place finish
(Will Swartzbeck, Carter Fry,
Teddy Disalle and Sam
King).
Boys and girls in the 9-10
age group were strong all
summer long. First place finishes
for the 100 Meter Medley
Relay were Reagan Root,
Reagan Black, Cecily Hayward
and Jillian Seitz for the
girls and Alex Harms, Zach
McClellan, Grant Hayward
and Sam Lathrop for the
boys. Contributing to the
team’s points were additional
relay teams with Angelina
Barone, Jenna Foos, Elizabeth
Diaz and Mia Schmittenberg,
and Peter Cooper,
Jack Ryder, Sid Fernandes
and Drew Paule.
Although Belmont’s swim
team consisted of 114 members,
there was not a single
boy in the 11-12 age group.
“Throughout the season,
many 9-10 boys were challenged
with ‘swimming up’
an age group. They accepted
the challenge and always did
well,” said Coach Venzel.
Swimming the 11-12 year
old 200 Meter Medley Relay,
placing second, were Jacob
Villani, 10; Jason Mefferd,
10; John Burnard, 9, and Eric
Mefferd, 10. Finishing in
sixth place was the girls 11-
12 200 Meter Relay consisting
of Michelle Lee, Jordyn
Foos, Madelyn Frantz and
Grace Davis.
Belmont’s relays continued
to dominate the beginning
of the meet. The 13-14
200 Meter Medley Relay
with Natalie Ryder, Mary
Sophia Barone, Alexa
Rooney and Anjali Fernandes
placed second; Jack Carroll,
Hayden McClary, William
Knight and Nick Harms finished
on top for their relay.
Natalie Ryder was back in
for another relay as a last
minute alternate. She and her
teammates Fatima Knight,
Catherine DiSalle and Macie
Downs, placed second for the
15-18 200 Meter Relay. Then
Belmont’s powerhouse team
of Austin Lazenby, Jack
Barone, Ketan Fernandes and
Grant Lazenby finished first,
almost a half-minute before
the next finishers.
“In the championship
meet the top six finishers
score points for the team,”
Coach Venzel said. “While
swimming is an individual
sport racing against one’s best
time and receiving personal
accolades, the swimmer is
also swimming for the team.
Many, many members of the
team contribute to the team’s
overall win.”
Following are Belmont
swimmers, by age group,
who placed first through sixth
place in their individual
events:
6 and Under: Christian
Black, Elena Neceski.
8 and Under: Paige Black,
Darin Croy, Wesley Foster,
Aubrey Green, Kate Harms,
Sam King, Elizabeth Lathrop,

Red, White and
Bark for Life
Dog Walk and
Festivities
The third annual ACS
“Red, White and Bark for
Life” one-mile dog walk and
festivities will be held on
Sunday, September 9, from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Fort
Meigs Park Association on
State Route 65 in Perrysburg.
The dog walk is a Relay
fund-raising event that honors
the care-giving qualities of
everyone’s canine “best
friends.”
Canine companions rep
resent unconditional love, security,
joy, compassion and
no judgments of human abilities
or appearances. The ACS
Bark for Life is an irresistible
way to “take the bite out of
cancer,” smile and make new
friends–canine and human.
Registration to participate
in the one-mile walk is $10
for the first dog and $5 for additional
dogs.
Registration fee also includes
admission to Fort
Meigs and the fort museum.
Participants register at the
event.
Non-profit organizations
and vendors are encouraged
to participate in the event.
There is no charge for space,
but organizations and vendors
need to provide their own tables,
chairs, etc.
The walk begins at noon
