VOLUME 161, NUMBER 21 – MAY 22, 2013
Bob Romaker, local
World War II U.S. Marine
veteran, has a role in the
upcoming documentary
“Inside World War II,” to be
shown on the National Geographic
channel on Friday,
May 31.
About a year ago, Tower
Productions, a Chicago
company that for 20 years
has been creating cable television
programming for
such channels as A&E,
Biography and National
Geographic contacted Way
Library.
Planning a documentary
on World War II, the filmmakers
were searching for
first-person accounts from
veterans. They had learned
through the Library of Congress
that Way Library had
video interviews of veterans
and wanted to see them.
Richard Baranowski,
local history librarian who
taped these interviews, sent
copies of them to Tower
Productions.
Keeping in touch with
Tower, Mr. Baranowski
learned that a segment from
Mr. Romaker’s interview
was in the final program.
The company sent him an
advanced copy. In the segment,
Mr. Romaker
describes his role in the
invasion of Iwo Jima as well
as being an eye-witness to
the historic flag-raising on
Mount Suribachi. The photo
of the marines raising the
flag has since become the

quintessential image of
World War II.
“I think it’s remarkable
that I would be randomly
picked out of all the millions
of people and events in
World War II,” Mr. Romaker
said. “From viewing the
program, they did a good
job summarizing so
much–they covered the
whole war–in that length of
time. I consider it an honor
to be included in this historic
documentary.”
“This is tremendous for
Mr. Romaker,” Mr. Bara-

nowski said. “Many of the
veterans we taped are gone
but they are still remembered
and their stories preserved,
but Mr. Romaker
can relive this memorable
event again and enjoy this
honor which makes it a little
more special. I am so happy
for him and his family. I
think it’s a unique occasion
for Perrysburg as a community
as well as the American
Legion and VFW of which
Bob is a member. I’m also
proud that Way Library had
an instrumental part in this.

After watching the program,
it is obvious that the company
went on a national search
for material – there are people
in this from all over the
country and some pretty
famous. It’s quite a compliment
to Bob’s service that
he is part of a program that
the whole world can see.”
“Inside World War II”
will be shown Friday, May
31, at 7 p.m. A DVD of the
program will go on sale in
June, and Way Library will
purchase copies of it for
patron use.
Penta BOE awards one bid, rejects another for storage bldgs.
By Jane Maiolo
Only one of two storage
facilities will be constructed
this summer at Penta Career
Center.
At the May 8 meeting,
the board of education
awarded construction of the
land lab cold storage building
to Midwest Construction
for $175,000.
The 60-by-75-foot addition
to the land lab storage
facility will house landscape
and other equipment and
will be constructed to match
an existing facility.
The board rejected bids
for the south wing storage
building since all of them
exceeded by 10 percent or
more the engineer’s estimate
of $255,150.
Bids between $359,355
and $402,525 were received
for the 35-by-150-squarefoot
building that was to be
equipped with electricity.
Superintendent Ron Matter
said bid amounts will be
reviewed with the architect.
“Then we will decide how to
proceed.”
The board plans to rebid
the project in late winter
with construction to take
place next year.
Kognito Program
Guidance counselors
Leslie Zilba and Daniel
Stoots presented information
on staff training for the
Kognito program.
Kognito is a role-playing
training with simulations
and games in areas of health
and behavioral health.
The program teaches
instructors effective communication
tactics for managing
challenging issues
involving youth.
The goal of the simulations
is to promote behavioral
change, early intervention,
prevention and treatment
adherence.
“We had a huge participation
of our staff,” said Ms.
Zilba.
Staff practiced simulations
dealing with different
students in crisis or distress
situations.
Response to the exercises
was positive, she said,
adding that many teachers
believe they learned new
communication skills to use
when situations arise.
“I thought this was a fabulous
exercise. We hope to
continue to implement it,”
she said.
Mr. Matter noted that
Springfield school officials
were at Penta and saw the
program. “They are using it
themselves.”
Contest Winners
Students who earned top
awards at the state FCCLA
convention were recognized.
Each student winner
received a medal and certificate.

Perrysburg commemorates Memorial Day with weekend festivities
The Perrysburg community
will commemorate
Memorial Day in its traditional
fashion–the annual
Kip Boulis race, parade,
graveside services and fort
re-enactments.
Perrysburg American
Legion Post 28 will hold
its annual Memorial Day
parade on Monday, May
27, at 10 a.m. Memorial
services will be held at
Fort Meigs Union Cemetery
following the parade.
All U.S. military veterans
are invited to join in
the parade and service.
There is no registration for
groups who wish to participate
in the parade.
The parade will form at
the corner of Louisiana
Avenue and Fifth Street at
9:30 a.m. It is requested
that walkers and floats
gather on the east side of
Louisiana Avenue in the
Commodore parking lot
area and vintage cars and
motorized vehicles line up
on the west side of the
street.
In the interest of safety,
it is requested that no
candy or other items be
thrown into the crowd
along the parade route.
The parade will head
north on Louisiana Avenue
to Front Street, west to
State Route 25 and into
Fort Meigs Cemetery.
The parade will stop at

By Deb Buker
Next school year, fifth,
eighth and ninth grade students
will be issued a laptop
computer to use
throughout the day and to
take home each evening–a
one-to-one technology
pilot program.
“After carefully studying
the changing role of
technology in the classroom
for the last year by
making 12 site visits to
other districts that are
already implementing a
one-to-one program, the
district is now poised to do
this pilot program,” said
Superintendent Tom
Hosler.
“The state is requiring
Ohio school districts to
administer all reading, language
arts and mathematics
standardized tests
online to students in
grades three through 12 by
2014-15. We need to make
sure our students are prepared
for this challenge as
soon as possible.”
Each student in the
three grades will be
assigned a device and be
responsible for it, just like
a textbook, explained the
superintendent. “Different
devices will be used and
their effectiveness evaluated
for future implementation,”
he said.
Ninth-graders will be
issued MacBook Air laptops
and students in grades
five and eight will be
assigned Samsung

Chromebooks.
“Perrysburg schools
will use this pilot to evaluate
the two different
devices to determine
which best suits the needs
of the students and teachers,”
said Mr. Hosler. “The
total cost of these devices
will be $563,600, which is
just under 1.5 percent of
the district’s operating
budget. These operating
funds were designed for
this project when the levy
that passed in November
was proposed a year ago.”
Additional staff will be
needed to handle the
devices, said the superintendent.
“Solutions may
include a blend of adding
school staff, training existing
staff, as well as utilizing
students,” he added.
“Filtering of devices will
continue to occur on
school grounds. It is possible
to filter devices off
school locations through a
cloud solution.”

Dear Editor:
Are you aware that the real
estate tax delinquencies for
Levis Commons now exceed
$3,350,000? These are tax dollars
owed to our schools; to pay
for the improvements and infrastructure
of Levis Commons;
and for municipal services beneficial
to our Community. How
did this happen and what un-
Letter to the Editor
written rule did City Council
violate with respect to Levis
Commons? A rule they are violating
again by extending tax
abatement (CRA status) to V
Couture.
I am referring to a rule
which all of government should
follow. Government assistance,
whether direct or by the various
tax abatement programs (TIF,
CRA or enterprise zone) should
never be given to a retail business
or development. It is unnecessary
and discriminatory. It
will create vacancies, foreclosures
and failures in the retail
market, which lead to blight
and unpaid real estate taxes.
I was shocked to see city
council extend CRA tax abatement
to V Couture, particularly
since they are already doing
business next to where they
plan to build. Government assistance
should be limited to industrial
and major office
employers, which bring people
and house tops to the Community.
Retail will follow immediately
and joyfully, without the
need for public assistance.
When government assists retailers,
they discriminate
against existing retailers who
didn’t receive tax abatement
and paid their own way.
As owner of RiverPlace, I
request that council immediately
provide to our 29 retailers
the same tax abatement. River-
Place pays annual real estate
taxes of $146,000 and our
delinquency is zero, not
$3.35M.
After the way the City was
duped and mislead on Levis
Commons, I thought they
would have learned the simple
rule of not providing government
benefits to retail. Levis is
a good development which can
stand on its own, without tax
abatement. However, as evidenced
by its vacancies, foreclosures
and $3.35M in real
estate tax delinquencies, when
government assists retail, it creates
a false sense of demand
and causes havoc in the marketplace,
injuring existing retailers,
the Community and the
Taxpayers.
I wish to thank Councilmen
Lawless and McCarthy for voting
against the tax abatement
for V Couture.
David Kienzle
P.S. Why is the YMCA allowed
a real estate tax delinquency
of almost $140,000?

Overcoming family obstacles, developing
healthier relationships topics of May 31 lecture
At times family relationships
can be difficult and
many people are searching
for ways to get along better
with family members.
There are paths to happier
and healthier relationships,
said Evan
Mehlenbacher, a Christian
Science lecturer who will
explain those paths on Friday,
May 31, at 7 p.m., at
the Hilton Garden Inn Conference
Center, Levis Common
Boulevard in
Perrysburg.
The talk “Family and relationships
united in love”
is free and open to the public.
“Family problems are
universal but I’ve learned
that when people understand
their relationship to
God better, their relation-

Mortgage Lending
ships with others improve,”
said Mr. Mehlenbacher,
who has addressed audiences
throughout the world.
“This lecture explains
how to find the love of God
that prospers relationships
and blesses families. It
shows how to overcome
grudges, resentments,
anger, loneliness, despair
and other complaints that
keep people apart,” he said.
He also shares healings
of loneliness, a marriage
falling apart, painful disease,
drug addiction and alcoholism.
“If you’re ready to feel
more love in your life and
experience the blessings it
brings, this message will
speak to you,” he continued.
Mr. Mehlenbacher says
Card of Thanks
The Perrysburg community is to be commended for
its support of “Stamp Out Hunger” on May 11. Just a
little over 5,000 pounds of food was collected for the
food pantry of Perrysburg Christians United.
Heartfelt thanks to all who donated and to PCU volunteers
who “shadowed” postal carriers and transported
and sorted food. Special appreciation to the Perrysburg
postal workers, both at the post office and on their
routes, for sponsoring this drive and working extra hard
that day.

Section 660.14 of the City
Codified Ordinances, all

Failure to comply will result

his own experience in the
family farming business
after graduating from Stanford
helped him learn the
importance of prayer in resolving
conflict among
ranch personnel, running a
business and helping others.
Though on the fast track
to success, he decided the
ultimate reward life had to
offer was more than money
in the bank.
“Living for a spiritual
purpose brings the greatest
joy,” he added. He left the
business and went into the
full-time ministry of helping
others find healing
through prayer.

graduating players:
four-year letterman, Steve
Slocum; three-year lettermen
Kyle Durham and Austin
Lee; two-year lettermen
Ryan Garrity, Spencer
George, Nick Munger and
Bennett Westfall.
It was time to play ball in
a closely contested, at times
heated, battle with the Anthony
Wayne Generals.
Mark Delas pitched seven
innings and struck out four
batters, allowing only six
hits. The game was scoreless
until the bottom of the third
inning. Austin Lee doubled,
Steve Slocum singled and
each advanced a base on
Zach Honsberger’s ground
out.
The Jackets loaded the
bases with one out after
Anthony Wayne chose to
intentionally walk Delas. Lee
scored on AJ Stockwell’s
fielder’s choice for 1-0 and
Slocum stole home for 2-0.
The Generals tied the
game at 2-2 in the top of the
fifth. Aaron Stark was safe at
first on a fielding error and
Tommy Eichenlaub and
Thomas Keyser each singled
to load the bases. Josh Schwerer
was safe on a fielding
error which scored Stark and
Eichenlaub but was tagged
out at third.
Delas struck out Austin
Kottenbrock and Alex Murphy
flied out to left.
Anthony Wayne pulled
ahead at the top of the sixth
inning with back-to-back singles.
The Generals loaded the
bases after Perrysburg chose
to walk Cal Johnson. Eichenlaub
was safe on first due to
a fielding error and scored
the lead runner.
The Jackets were in scoring
position at the bottom of
the sixth. Stockwell singled
but Munger bunted into a
double play. Kyle Durham
walked to make room for his
pinch runner and brother,
Seth Durham. S. Durham
stole second and third on an
overthrow to first and the
home crowd was pumped up.
Nick Fleming grounded out
to short.
The Jackets held Anthony
Wayne after Delas picked off
Josh Schwerer at first after
he singled and the next two
batters were thrown out at
first.
Perrysburg had one more
at bat but Dimmerling was
out at first, Lee struck out
and Slocum flied out.
Perrysburg is now 23-3
for the season and 11-1 in the

By Richard Baranowski
Memorial Day is a time
to honor all our veterans.
One of the ways in which
our community recognizes
veterans is through the
Way Library’s participation
in the Library of Congress
Veterans Project, its
purpose being the preservation
of veteran’s service
memories.
Way Library recently
interviewed longtime Perrysburg
resident Jack
Shaffer. Mr. Shaffer served
in the United States Coast
Guard from 1951 to 1954.
He explained the circumstances
that led him to
enlist in the coast guard.
“I was born in Toledo,
November 9, 1930,” he
said. “I went to Deveaux
Grade School and DeVilbiss
High School, graduating
in 1948. Truman had
initiated the peacetime
draft so when you turned
18, everybody had to register.
If you did nothing,
you were subject to being
drafted in the Army for
two years or you could
join a reserve unit. The
other option was the Ohio
National Guard which I
joined because I knew
some fellows in it, and it
was located on Secor
Road, close to where I
lived on Westbrook.
“We met every week to
drill at the armory. The
unit there was the 140th
Field Artillery Battalion,
part of the 37th Division
which fought in the Pacific
during World War II. The
140th had two firing batteries
of 105mm howitzers,
plus headquarters
and motor pool. I was initially
part of a gun crew,
but when I made corporal,
I became the battery
recorder who was the liaison
between Fire Direction
Control and the gunnery
officer.
“Every year we went to
camp for two weeks,
where we trained and fired
the howitzers. The first
two years we went to
Camp Atterbury, Indiana,
and the third year to Camp
McCoy, Wisconsin. The
military life at the latter
convinced me that I didn’t
want to be in the Army.
Imagine 25 or so men sitting
together in the latrine,
which consisted of boards
with holes and no privacy.
After two weeks of this I
said to myself, when my
enlistment was up I was
going to get into some
other outfit. I had friends
in the regular Navy and
the Coast Guard. The
Navy was four years and
the Coast Guard was three,
so it wasn’t a hard decision.”
Near the end of his time
in the 140th, he did the
preliminaries to enlisting
in the Coast Guard and
upon discharge would
have been sent to Cape
May, New Jersey. Then the
37th was alerted for possible
active duty, and all
personnel were frozen.
The division was activated
and its respective units left
for Camp Polk, Louisiana,
in January of 1952. Since
Mr. Shaffer’s time was up
in between, he had the
option of reenlisting but
chose to be discharged. In
the meantime, the Coast
Guard opened up another
boot camp in Alameda,
California. He, along with
13 others, boarded a Union
Pacific passenger train,
which took several days to
arrive. Two Shore Patrol
accompanied the men to
see that they got there.
“The Coast Guard had
taken over the Navy base
at Government Island,”
Mr. Shaffer said. “Cape
May wasn’t adequate due
to the increase in personnel.
We learned nautical
basics, weaponry and

Library of Congress Veterans Project continues at Way Library
marched. The Coast
Guard acquired 12 DE’s
(destroyer escorts) from
the Navy and they had to
be manned. There was also
a need for port security.
The DE’s were in addition
to our own cutters. They
were patrolling the Pacific,
guarding and monitoring
all shipping and reporting
weather conditions.”
At the end of boot
camp, tests were given
which determined further
schooling. Some who didn’t
qualify were assigned
for duty on the two DE’s
tied up at the base. Mr.
Shaffer was sent to the
U.S. Coast Guard Training
Station at Groton, Connecticut,
for 16 weeks of
engineering school. Upon
graduation he was
assigned to the Kaw, a harbor
tug in Cleveland. The
Kaw was a 110-foot multipurpose
vessel that served
as a rescue craft, fireboat
and ice-breaker. It also
towed a construction barge
to various stations on the
Great Lakes.
Mr. Shaffer explained
how the tug was powered.
“It was diesel-electric,” he
said. “It had two 8-cylinder
Ingersoll Rand
engines. We stood watches
in the engine room 24/7
tied up or under way. We
were always on call. Tied
up on shore power, we had
a daily routine of cleaning
and progressive maintenance.
Under way, conditions
changed to monitoring
the engines, pumps
and other machinery. Then
you had excessive heat,
diesel fumes and not much
fresh air. The motion,
pitching or rolling in
response to the waves
were noticeable.”
After a year, Mr. Shaffer
was transferred to the
Tupelo, a 180-foot buoy
tender stationed in Toledo.
Its main purpose was to
set and retrieve large
buoys marking the channel
into Toledo. By this time
he had made Second Class
Engineman.
“The chief engineering
officer was a most
unpleasant fellow,” Mr.
Shaffer remembered. “He
had been in since World
War II and had been
demoted in rank after the
war and not very happy
about it. So when an
opportunity came up for
duty on the Toledo Harbor
Light, I volunteered for it.
I was glad to get off that
ship!”
Mr. Shaffer returned to
Groton for Aids to Navigation
School for four
weeks. During that time a
major historical event was
taking place nearby.
“The Coast Guard station
was on the Thames
River,” he said, “whereas
the Navy submarine base
was upriver in New London.
While I was there, I
saw the Nautilus, our first
atomic powered submarine
launched. It was christened
by Mamie Eisenhower
on January 21,
1954. It had been built at
the Groton Boatworks.
The historic Nautilus can
be visited at the sub base
today”
Mr. Shaffer went out to
the Toledo Harbor Light in
March of 1954, which is
about eight miles from the
Toledo Coast Guard Base
at Bayview Park. It had
opened in 1904, replacing
the light on nearby Turtle
Island. The original lighthouse
was built to accommodate
two families in the
old U.S. Lighthouse Service.
In 1939, FDR turned
over all aids to navigation
to the U.S. Coast Guard.
Civilians could retire or
join the Coast Guard.
“The first night was
memorable, cold and pitch
black, since we didn’t get
the shutters open or the oil
furnace operating,” said
Mr. Shaffer. “Things were
pretty much the same as
they were in 1904, except
we had electricity. Our
function was to guide
ships to the mouth of the
channel into Toledo. We
had four diesel engines
which were my responsibility.
Two ran generators
which charged a bank of
50 batteries in the basement.
Two ran air compressors
for the foghorn.
We ran them alternately.
“There were three seamen
and myself, a 2nd
class PO. There was one
civilian carry-over from
the Lighthouse Service.
He was in charge and
when he left, I was in
charge. There was always
one man ashore because
we all had a week off each
month.
“We had a skiff and a
24-foot motor launch to go
ashore on leave and for
supplies. We were a
weather substation, regularly
recording wind
velocity and wave height,
and calling them into the
base. The base would contact
WSPD, and that’s how
lake conditions got to the
public. It was a point of
amusement to us, since the
wave height was determined
subjectively by the
man on watch. How high
are they?
“The light was a 500
watt bulb, directed through
a Fresnel lens, which bent
the light through a bullseye
beaming it over a long
distance. The lens turned
on a thick metal table, the
rotation being regulated by
a mechanical governor.
The table and lens were
powered by a weight
attached to a cable dropping
through a 70-foot
shaft to the basement. The
man on watch would climb
up to the light and hand
crank the weight back up
every 45 minutes. Even
though we had several
large pendulum clocks,
with the time set by station
WWV, National Bureau of
Standards, we still turned
the light on at sunset and
off at sunrise according to
the almanac.
“We also listened to the
radio for distress calls,
although we never
received one while I was
aboard. We had no problems
with the fog horn or
the engines. The duty was
better than being on a ship
as each man had his own
room. Nothing untoward
happened during my time
there, although we washed
off a lot of June bugs. The
cooking and dishwashing
duties were shared. Some
were better cooks than
others,” he said laughing.
“I was out there from
March to November 1954
EARLY DEADLINE
Due to Memorial Day there will be an
early deadline for the May 29 issue of the
Perrysburg Messenger Journal. ALL articles
and advertisements MUST be in by
noon on Friday, May 24, for the May 29
issue.

and then discharged. I had
a friend at Ohio State and
decided to go there. The
GI Bill paid $110 a month.
You had 36 months to get
your degree, which for me
would be in anthropology.
I already had a few credits,
so I was a little ahead. It
cost $75 a quarter tuition.
But you have to remember,
you could buy three gallons
of gas for a dollar.”
Mr. Shaffer was asked
how he felt about serving
his country for three years
in the Ohio National
Guard and three years in
the regular USCG.
“We have choice and
we have circumstance in
all our lives,” he said. “I
think most of my military
service was dictated by
choice. I chose to go into
the Ohio National Guard
as opposed to a reserve
unit, which some of my
friends did. And I chose
to go into the Coast Guard
instead of the Navy.
“I see some people, you
know, who didn’t have a
very good time in the service
because they made a
choice by not choosing,
and they ended up being
drafted and got into some
situations which weren’t
very pleasant. You have
people who believe in fate
and people who believe in
providence. I believe in
the latter.
“It was a time for
maturing. I learned a lot
and had interesting experiences,
which helped me
later in life. Boot camp
itself is a lesson in toleration.
There were 140 men
just in my company, all
different personalities.
People who can’t get up in
the morning, people that
came out to roll call half-
dressed with shoes untied.
They shaped up in a hurry.
Some guys would take
advantage of other guys.
On the Kaw we had lockers
where we kept our uniforms
and other belongings.
This one seaman
helped himself to my
white uniform, which I
had just washed and
ironed, and wore it
because he didn’t have a
clean one of his own to go
on liberty. ‘I didn’t think
you’d mind,’ he told me.
You know you got into all
kinds of situations like
that in the service, and it
teaches you how to cope. I
realize this is a benign
example, but you get the
point.”
Now the people who’ve
been in combat, that’s a
whole different experience
and type of comradeship.
They merit our honor and
respect always. I really
admire those fellows!”
Although Mr. Shaffer
credited his positive experience
in the military to
making intelligent choices
as much as possible, he
couldn’t control everything.
Remember those
two DE’s tied up in
Alameda? Some in his
company of 140 men had
to serve in the mess hall
for a week. The others
went aboard while the regular
crews of the DE’s
were on leave. Guess
where he went?
“That was circumstance,”
he said laughing,
“not choice.”
Mr. Shaffer is a life
member of Perrysburg
Post 28 American Legion,
where he served three
years as commander, from
2007 to 2009.

Annual PAHM Historic Homes Tour to feature five homes
The annual Historic Homes Tour, presented by Perrysburg Area Historic Museum (PAHM), will be held Saturday,
June 8, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The tour includes five homes listed in C. Robert Boyd’s book, “Images of
America: Perrysburg Historic Architecture.”
The homes on tour are the Hoover House (1880), 209 East Second Street; the Second Powell House (1829),
300 West Second Street; the Norton House (1855), 402 East Front Street; the Slevin House (1866), 417 East
Front Street, and the Bentley House (1928), 30465 East River Road.
Tickets for the tour are $15 and may be purchased at any of the featured homes on the date of the tour. All
proceeds from the event will benefit the renovation of the Spafford House, the future site of the Perrysburg
Area Historic Museum, on State Route 65.
The featured house above is the Second Powell House, owned by Mia and James Mackiewicz. According to
Mr. Boyd’s book, “this Greek Revival house is also attributed to Thomas Powell and is called a fine example of
a small ‘two over two’-room residence, discounting the two wings probably added later. The street-facing gable
features plain entablature along the sides, and the chimney extends through the center of the roof ridge. In
1976, the house was completely restored by the Frank Hirst family, with the original interior woodwork and
molding retained. Many of the windows contain original panes.”
Phyllis Morton, president of PAHM, added that Mr. Mackiewicz also has papers showing Mr. Powell’s purchase
of Lot 190 from Ambrose Rice for back taxes amounting to 0.68.7 which will be available for viewing during
the open house.
For additional information on the historic home tour, call Mrs. Morton at 419-872-0846.

MOSQUITO CONTROL
Mosquitoes are an all too familiar summer nuisance. They are not only annoying,
but they can be transmitters of encephalitis, malaria, yellow fever and
West Nile virus to humans and heartworm to pets.
The City of Perrysburg’s plan is to spray the entire city weekly. This will be
done one evening per week, starting around dusk until midnight. Weather and
wind speed determine which night we can spray. Standing water, which may
be found in street catch-basins, subdivision drains, roadside ditches and flood
plains, are a few places where mosquitoes breed. You can help reduce mosquito-breeding
sources in your yard in the following ways:
• Get rid of old tires, tin cans, buckets, drums, bottles or any water holding
containers
• Fill in or drain any low places (puddles, ruts) in yard
• Keep drains, ditches, drainage swales and culverts clean of weeds and
trash so water will drain properly
• Cover trash containers to keep out rain water
• Repair leaky pipes and outside faucets
• Empty plastic wading pool at least once a week and store it indoors
when not in use
• Make sure your backyard pool is properly cared for while on vacation
• Fill in tree rot holes and hollow stumps that hold water with sand or
concrete
• Change the water in bird baths and plant pots or drip trays at least
once weekly
• Keep grass cut short and shrubbery well trimmed around the house so
adult mosquitoes will not hide there
The product the City of Perrysburg uses for mosquito control, Duet, is scientifically
synergized to maximize the effectiveness against mosquito populations
yet maintains the lowest level of toxicity to man and other non-target
organisms.
Mosquito dunks for standing water are free and available to city residents.
Residents can get up to 8 dunks per year. Stop by the Department of Public
Service at 11980 Roachton Road, between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday
through Friday.
For any questions you may have, contact the Department of Public Service at
419-872-8020.
Together we can eliminate potential breeding grounds
and increase our enjoyment of the great outdoors!

Humane Ohio’s ‘Did You Know?’ campaign offers
spay, neuter surgery for puppies and kittens
Did you know that kittens
can go into heat and get
pregnant as early as four
months old and puppies at
five months old? If not
fixed, puppies and kittens
can get pregnant and have a
litter of their own just two
months later. And it’s these
accidental litters that end up
in animal shelters with no
place to call home and at
risk for euthanasia.
To reduce these accidental
births, Humane Ohio,
with funding provided by
PetSmart Charities®, is introducing
the “Did You
Know?” campaign, featuring
a special $20 spay or neuter
surgery for puppies and kittens
under six months of age
during the month of June.
While some pet parents
may worry that their pet is
too young for this procedure,
spaying and neutering is safe
and easy for kittens and puppies
as young as eight weeks
old according to the American
Veterinary Medical Association.
Humane Ohio has performed
thousands of pediatric
spay/neuter surgeries
since January 2006 Pediatric
spay/neuter is less
stressful on the animal than
waiting until they are older,
and the surgery itself is
faster because their reproductive
parts are smaller
which means less time under
anesthesia and smaller incisions
from surgery. Younger
animals wake up faster from
surgery and are ready to eat
and play in no time. The
hardest part is keeping them
quiet.
“Many pet parents put off
the procedure and wait until
the puppy or kitten is older,”
says Humane Ohio Market-
Suzette L. Huenefeld, M.D.

The 200th anniversary of
the Battle of Lake
Erie–among the most famous
naval encounters of
the War of 1812 and the first
time a squadron of British
ships had ever been captured–will
be commemorated
with a special
exhibition this fall at the
Toledo Museum of Art.
Perry’s Victory: The Battle
of Lake Erie, a free exhibition
on view August 9
through November 10, in
Galleries 28 and 29, features
paintings, prints, sculpture,
artifacts, letters and music
on loan and from the Museum’s
permanent collection.
One of the prominent
works on view will be the
heroically scaled painting
Perry’s Victory on Lake Erie
(1814) by Thomas Birch.
The painting depicts the battle
moments before the
British squadron surrenders
to the victorious Commodore
Oliver Hazard Perry
(1785-1819) in the fall of
1813. The TMA exhibition
marks a rare opportunity to
see the painting so close to
the actual battle site.
Historians often describe
the War of 1812 as the Second
War of Independence: a
reaction to the continuing
British attacks on and
seizures of American vessels
and seamen, and the likely
British role in encouraging
Native Americans’ anger in
the northwestern frontier.

ing Director Jill Borkowski.
“But by then, it can be too
late. By then, a litter of puppies
or kittens can be born.”
This special rate is even
less than the organization’s
normal low-cost price and is
available to all residents of
Ohio and Michigan.
Pet parents who wish to
take advantage of this offer
must mention the “Did You
Know?” promotion when
they call to schedule their
appointment, and availability
is limited.

puppies/kittens for $20 during

Museum offers chance to see
famous Thomas Birch painting
of historic naval victory
States’ national anthem,
“The Star-Spangled Banner,”
inspired by the war, but
victory over Britain also
confirmed the young nation’s
sovereignty.
Some of the most decisive
events of the war on the
frontier were the naval battles,
as command of the
Great Lakes was critical for
success in the northwest.
One of the most famous victories
in American history
was achieved at the Battle of
Lake Erie on September 10,
1813 by the young Commodore
Perry with the capture
of a British fleet of six
vessels, giving control of the
lake and its important transportation
routes to the
United States.
The centennial of this
event was celebrated in 1913
with a major exhibition in
the (then) recently completed
Toledo Museum of
Art building on Monroe
Street. Portraits, battle
scenes and historical objects
were brought together to
recognize the event. Yet as
large as the exhibition was,
a major painting depicting a
turning point in the
battle–Perry’s Victory on
Lake Erie by Birch–was not
in the show.
As part of the bicentennial
observation, TMA secured
the loan of the
painting from the collection
of the Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts in
Philadelphia.
The outcome of the dramatic
battle led to the Americans
reclaiming the lake
and Perry becoming a national
hero. As Perry famously
reported, “We have
met the enemy and they are
ours.”
Another highlight of the
2013 exhibition is TMA’s
striking portrait of Commodore
Oliver Hazard Perry
(1818–28) by Gilbert and
Jane Stuart.

Team Lazenby raises funds at marathon
Members of Team Lazenby included James Lazenby, Lauren Yarad, Ellie Gwyn, Grant’s
grandmother Elaine Schleivert, Grant Lazenby, his mother Annette Lazenby, Oliver
Lazenby, Austin Lazenby, Alex Lazenby. Not pictured: Steve Lazenby.
Grant Lazenby, of Perrysburg,
a sophomore at St.
Francis de Sales High
School, ran in the Glass
City Marathon Sunday to
raise money and awareness
for the Ocular Immunology
Uveitis Foundation.
Grant suffers from pars
planitis and vasculitis. The
condition causes inflammation
in his eyes, retina detachment
that requires
surgery, blurred vision due
to floaters and optic migraines.
He has raised $700
through his parents, relatives,
friends, church, and
teachers at St. Francis de
Sales High School.
Dr. Stephen Foster is the
founder of the OIU Foundation,
which is located in
Boston.
Grant visits him every
three to four months for a
check up. Oral chemotherapy
is one form of treatment
that Grant receives weekly.
This disease affects
11,500 people under the age
of 16 in the United States.
This disease is the third
leading cause of blindness in
developed countries.
Grant says that the teachers
at St. Francis de Sales
have been very supportive
and accommodating when it

May 31, from 6 to 10:30
p.m., in Olscamp Hall on the
campus of Bowling Green
State University.
Proceeds from the Wine

and abused animals in Wood
County, providing care for
hundreds of animals each
year–from dogs and cats to
horses, goats, guinea pigs
and lizards. Help them by
joining in this festive
evening.
Guests will enjoy a full
dinner, dessert, fine wines
from Heidelberg Distributing
Company and Gallo
Wines, decorations from
Glendale Flowers and Gifts
and music by Estar Cohen
and Company. The event
also will include a silent
auction and a live auction
with auctioneer Jerry Anderson
from WTOL, Channel
11.
“This event is a main
source of income for our
non-profit organization,”
said Board President Lori
Young.
“The proceeds play a crucial
part in our ability to help
homeless and abused animals
in our community and
to assist pet parents in need

Pets and SNIP.”

comes to needing assistance
and learning accommodations
at school.
Some nights he is not
able to do his homework due
to flare ups of the inflammation
in his eye and the migraines.
He writes with different
colors of ink due to his visual
impairment.
His family was at the race
and at various locations
along the route in support of
Grant.
Although not normally a
runner, Grant swims and
plays water polo. He finished
the marathon, his first
ever, in the time of 3:45:00.

GED test available at Educational Center of Lake Erie
West offers online registration and immediate scores
The Educational Service
Center of Lake Erie West is
partnering with GED Testing
Service to offer the GED
test on computer. Registration,
scheduling, and testing
was made available to candidates
in February of 2013.
The standard paper and pencil
GED testing is still provided
on-site, but will be
discontinued effective December
21, 2013.
Registering, scheduling
and testing on computer will
provide a new experience
and new benefits for GED
test-takers. These new features
will improve the GED
testing program which is a
gateway for adults to find
jobs or better paying jobs,
enter the workforce or college
training programs, and
better support themselves
and their families.
“Adult learners are often
times juggling jobs, families,
study time and transportation
issues,” said
Randy Trask, GED Testing
Service’s president and
CEO. “GED testing on computer
will be a significant
step to make the scheduling
and testing experience easier,
more flexible and faster
for adult learners across the
state and eventually the
country. We are so pleased
that the Educational Service
Center of Lake Erie West is
our partner in this important
endeavor.”
The GED test on computer
is the same test content
currently offered on paper.
Its accompanying systems
will provide an array of new
benefits for both the testing
center and GED test-takers.
Some of the initial benefits
include:
•One-stop online registration
and scheduling available
24/7
•Flexible testing appointments
for test-takers
•Instant test scores on
four of five content areas
•An introduction of basic
keyboarding and computer
skills
•Enhanced test security
“The Educational Service
Center of Lake Erie West is
proud to lead the way on
GED testing on computer.
Adding this new option for
adult learners will provide
immediate and long-term
benefits,” says Brenda Gift,
supervisor. “From hospitals
to construction sites, basic
technology– including computer
use and keyboarding
skills–are common in the
workplace today. Test-takers
can now demonstrate mastery
of these basic technol-

ogy skills through the GED
test on computer, learn immediately
of their results,
and be better prepared to
enter the workplace.”
Test-takers interested in
taking the test on computer
at the Educational Service
Center of Lake Erie West
should go to www.GEDtesti
n g
service.com.
Offering GED testing on
computer also has an important
role to increasing accessibility
and flexibility for
test-takers, since a doubledigit
increase in the number
of GED test-takers is expected
by 2013. A new GED
assessment is scheduled to
be released in January 2014,
and a significant number of
adults who haven’t taken or
passed all five content areas
will want to test before their
scores expire at the end of
2013.
While testing and scheduling
on computer is a significant
new benefit for
test-takers, GED Testing
Service warns consumers
there are those who will attempt
to bilk unsuspecting
adults out of precious dollars
by creating confusion online.
“The GED test–whether
on paper or computer–must

is vital that someone close by
knows what to do when such
an emergency occurs.
“Getting yourself and your
family more prepared for disasters
can bring peace of mind
during trying times and can
help save someone’s life during
future emergencies,” said
Tim Yenrick, regional CEO of
American Red Cross of Northwest
Ohio. “Taking an action
like downloading our first aid,
taking a first aid class or building
a disaster supply kit can
help people feel empowered to
act when disaster strikes.”
The American Red Cross
has numerous ways people can
get the information and training
they need to be able to help
when an emergency occurs
and urges everyone to be better
prepared by taking advantage
of training and mobile apps
available to teach them what to
do when someone needs assistance.
The Red Cross has classes
available that emphasize
hands-on-learning of first aid,
cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR) and use of an automatede
external defibrillator
(AED). The courses teach
someone the skills they need to
help save a life. Participants
learn how to respond to common
first aid emergencies,
how to respond to cardiac and
breathing emergencies in
adults and how to use AEDs.

PET OF THE WEEK
Mortal: male, domestic long hair brown
tabby, kitten
Hi there. I'm Mortal, Morty for short. I had
a rough start to my life, but luckily was
found by a nice lady and brought to the
humane society. The nice girls there fixed
me right up. I felt like a new man after a
bath and a hair cut! The cuddles I got
helped a lot too! I can be a little shy but
once you start petting me I warm right up to
you. In typical kitten fashion I love to play
with all kinds of toys. I'm hoping to find
my forever home soon with someone to give me lots of love and pets.
I've been told I'm so cute that no one can resist giving me a cuddle!
Please visit or call the Wood County Humane Society at 419-352-7339
to learn more about this great pet. All of our adoptable animals can be

Downtown Perrysburg Inc. to present youth
summer theater production of ‘William’s Window’
Downtown Perrysburg,
Inc. (DPI) will present the
2013 Comedy/Drama Session
of youth summer theater.
The five-week theater camp
begins on June 17 and runs
through July 19. The program
concludes with the production
of “William’s
Window” on July 17 and 18,
in the Commodore Building
Juliet Beck Auditorium.
Class sessions will run
Monday through Friday,
from 1 to 4 p.m., at the Juliet
Beck Theater in the Commodore
Building.
“We hope that the hours
this summer will enable students
who are doing other activities
or taking summer
gym in the mornings to participate
in the comedy/drama
session in the afternoon,”
said John Henzler, co-director.
Registration forms are
available by contacting
downtownperrysburg@gmail
.com or comedydrama1
@gmail.com or by calling
419-872-6246. The application
deadline is June 1.
The five-week session is
open to residents of Perrysburg
School District ($125)
as well as non-residents
($145) for ages 10-17.
The session has a capacity
of 30 students, and registration
will be based upon the
first 30 applications.
This is the ninth summer
season that Elizabeth Emmert
and her husband, John
Henzler, have co-directed the
Youth Summer Theater’s
Comedy/Drama sessions.
All revenues associated
with the comedy/drama session
and the production of
“William’s Window,” such
as student tuition, sponsorships,
program ads and
ticket sales, will be directed
to defray camp expenses
such as scripts, royalties,
printing, sets and costumes
and other production costs.
“We hope that businesses
and individuals will come
forward to help support this
year’s comedy/drama session
by purchasing program ads
and making tax-deductible
contributions to Downtown
Perrysburg, Inc. for the
camp, since DPI ‘adopted’
the camp recently after the
Perrysburg Area Arts Council
dissolved–and after DPI had
established its budget for the

Veterans honored at Perrysburg Commons event
Perrysburg Commons retirement center and Hospice of Northwest Ohio teamed up to
recognize veterans at a special event on May 10, at Perrysburg Commons. All residents
of the facility who are military veterans, and their families, were invited to a special veterans’
pinning ceremony, a patriotic-themed performance of the Tappers dance group
and refreshments.
“So many of our residents are veterans or spouses of deceased veterans; any time we
have the chance to honor and thank them, it is a privilege,” said Sue Snoddy, admissions
and marketing coordinator for Perrysburg Commons.
“Through the national ‘We Honor Vets’ program, we regularly recognize our patients
who are veterans–as well as other veterans in the community–with a certificate and special
pin,” said Judy Seibenick, executive director for Hospice of Northwest Ohio, “ It is
extremely meaningful to them and their families and often elicits conversation and stories
that are shared for the first time. It is a very moving experience, and we are thrilled
there were so many veterans present at Perrysburg Commons.”
Pictured are Perrysburg Commons resident Donna Wegman and her daughter,
Connie Lawrence of Maumee, with a certificate recognizing her late husband’s military
service.
