Archbold Elevator School Days Remembered By Last Earns $108,000 In Two Members Of PHS Class Of 1935 July, Report Says The two remaining members of the Pettisville High School Class of 1935 held their 76th class reunion recently. Out of the 20 students who received PHS diplomas that year, Meredith (Britsch) Beck and Morris Rupp are all that remain. The two got together to talk about memories of their school days. “In the eighth grade, we were 28. In ninth grade, 34. In tenth grade, 28. These kids would turn 16, and they would drop out of school and help on the farm or whatever,” Beck said. “In the 11th grade, we were 21, and then Paul Porter dropped out. When we were seniors, we were 20.” “But a powerful 20,” Rupp said. “Let’s not forget that.” When Rupp and Beck were seventh graders, the then-new 1929 Pettisville school opened. Prior to the opening of the school, students living in rural areas attended small, often one-room schools. Rupp said up until sixth grade, he attended the Doll School. "One room, first through eighth grades." In 1928 or ‘29, county-level school officials redrew school district boundry lines, "and we started going to the big
would challenge some kid in the fall, when we had the first frost, to taste the frost, and he couldn’t get loose. The teacher had to come out with some water to release the child. That really happened,” Rupp said. When the 1929 building opened, Rupp said the students were excited. “Sure we were excited. We were mostly country kids, and to get into the big city and a big building, why wouldn’t we have been excited?”
Morris Rupp, left, and Meredith (Britsch) Beck, remaining members of the Pettisville High School Class of 1935, reminisced about their school days. When the 1929 Pettisville school building opened, the two were seventh graders. The building was torn down this summer, and a new Pettisville school opened Wednesday, Sept. 7. Be sure to see the souvenir keepsake edition on the new and modern Pettisville school facility in this week’s Archbold Buckeye.–photo by David Pugh school in Pettisville," Rupp said. There was a school in Pettisville at that time, a twostory, wood-frame building that was less than a block away from the 1929 building.
“One through four was downstairs, and five through eight was upstairs,” Rupp said. “It had iron (hand) rails, and about four or five steps to get up to the first floor. “Occasionally, somebody
School Days When she was a child, school started at 9 am and students were released at 4 pm, Beck said. Today, school at Pettisville starts at 8:20 am; students are dismissed at 3:05 pm. Beck said the first five grades were downstairs. “Sixth grade was at the top of the stairs, then seventh and eighth, and then on around the corner. Later, fifth and sixth grades were downstairs,” she said. Among the teachers was Miss (Flora) Dimke. “She taught fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth. We had her for fifth and sixth. “This lady never married. She had a sister, Amelia, who stayed home and did the work, and Flora taught school for many, (Continued on page 14)

Records Set Monday, Tuesday
Fair Attendance Down 13.8% A total of 29,421 people walked through the gates at the Fulton County Fair on Tuesday, Sept. 6, setting a new Tuesday record. The previous Tuesday attendance record was 28,597, set in 2007. The new record is 824, or about 2.9%, higher. A new single-day record was set the day before, Monday, Sept. 5, when 73,105 visited the fairgrounds, topping the previous one-day record of 63,530 set on Sunday 2008. On Wednesday, Sept. 7, rain and chilly temperatures produced perhaps the lowest single-day attendance in recent memory. Only 4,983 people went through the gates. The Archbold Wastewater Treatment plant recorded a high of 61 degrees, and 1.25 inches of rain on Wednesday. Records readily accessible at this newspaper go back to 1998; even the lowest figures for a Wednesday tops 15,000. Compared to the Wednesday 2010 attendance of 22,237, the Wednesday 2011 attendance was off by 17,245, or 77.6%. On Thursday, Sept. 8, the last day of the fair, 16,241 visited, far off the Thursday record of 31,794 set in 2003. In fact, weather may have played a big part in fair attendance. During the first two days, Friday and Sat-
urday, Sept. 2-3, the temperature hit 100 degrees at the Archbold Wastewater Treatment Plant. It was 80 degrees on Sunday, Sept. 4. There were brief rain showers on Saturday and Sunday. Monday, the record day, offered perfect fair-going weather with a high of 64 and no rain.
Never Shut Down Sue Whitaker, incoming Fulton County Fair Board secretary, said in spite of the weather on Wednesday, the fair did not close. Midway rides ceased operations because of wet conditions, but the rodeo that night went ahead. Things didn’t wrap up until almost midnight, Whitaker said.
Overall Total attendance at the 2011 Fulton County Fair was 243,555, about 13.8% off the record of 282,417 in 2010. 2011 Standing Record Day Attendance & Year Set Friday 19,894 26,821 (2007) Saturday 41,214 60,731 (2009) Sunday 58,697 63,530 (2009) Monday 73,105 73,105 (2011) Tuesday 29,421 29,421 (2011) Wednesday 4,983 29,954 (2003) Thursday 16,241 31,794 (2003) TOTAL 243,555 282,417 (2010)
Over the first four days this year, Labor Day weekend, attendance totaled 192,210, down 17,536, or about 8.4%, from 2010, which was a record year.

Archbold Elevator produced a net income of $108,103 for the month ending July 31, Gerald R. Kowalski, receiver of the business, said in a recent court filing. The grain elevator and hograising business was placed in the hands of a court-appointed receiver earlier this year. Financial problems were discovered by an Ohio Department of Agriculture inspection, leading to a suspension of the firm’s grain
In spite of not having a working elevator, the move into the new Pettisville school building went well, said school district officials. “I think everyone involved did a great job,” said John King, school board president, during the Monday, Sept. 12, school board meeting. Michael Lane, high school principal, praised the teachers and students who worked hard to make the move happen. “The elevator was not available, so we had to carry box after box of books up the stairs to the second floor,” he said. Lane said John Poulson,
Pettisville agricultural education teacher, recruited his upper level students to help. “They never complained and they just kept pushing through all morning (Tuesday, Aug. 23) carrying boxes up the stairs.” The ag students were joined by more students who were finishing athletic practices, who then pitched in to help.
Problems The board also reviewed a number of glitches and problems that were noted as the building began to be used. Steve Switzer, district su(Continued on page 14)

Fulton County unemployment in July topped 10%, according to the latest estimate from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. After three consecutive months under the doubledigit mark, unemployment was estimated at 10.5%. Between January 2005, and November 2008, unemployment never reached 10%. In fact, unemployment only hit 9% twice in the 47-month time period, and was under 6% 19 of the 47 months. Economists consider 5% unemployment equal to full employment. The National Bureau of Economic Research pegged the beginning of the current recession as December 2007, when Fulton County unemployment was 6.6%. The county unemployment rate, as estimated by ODJFS, was 8.1% in January 2008. For the year, unemployment bounded between 6.6% and 9% until December, when unemployment broke through the psychological barrier of 10%. From then until August 2010, county unemployment never dropped below 11%. It peaked in January 2008 at 16%, the highest Fulton County unemployment rate in recent memory. Since December 2008, unemployment has been 10% or higher 25 of 32 months. It’s only been below 10% seven months, and has not been lower than 9.4%.

Gold and silver pour into yesterday’s Roadshow due to highest prices in 40 years.
Yesterday at the Elm Street Hall , locals lined up to cash in on their gold and silver, antiques, collectibles, at the “As seen on TV,� Treasure Hunters Roadshow. The free event is in Wauseon all week, buying gold, silver, antiques and collectibles. One visitor I spoke with yesterday said, “It’s unbelievable, I brought in some old coins that had been in a little cigar box for years and some old herringbone necklaces—in less

That stuff has been in my jewelry box and dresser for at least 20 years.� Another gentleman brought in an old Fender guitar his father had bought years ago. The man said, “Dad had less than fifty bucks in that guitar.� The Roadshow specialist that assisted him made a few phone calls and a veterinarian in Seattle, Washington bought the guitar for $5,700.00. The seller continued, “I got another $300.00 for a broken necklace and an old class ring. It’s not every day that someone comes to town bringing six thousand dollars with your name on it.� Jeff Parsons, President of the Treasure Hunters Roadshow, commented, “Lots of people have items that they know are valuable but just don’t know where to sell them. Old toys, trains, swords, guitars, pocket watches and jewelry are valuable to collec-
tors. These collectors are willing to pay big money for those items that they are looking for.� This week’s Roadshow is the best place to get connected with those collectors. The process is free and anyone can bring items down to the event. If the Roadshow specialists find items that their collectors are interested in, offers will be made to purchase them. About 80% of the guests that attend the show end up selling one or more items at the event. Antiques and collectibles are not the only items the Roadshow is buying. “Gold and silver markets are soaring,� says Archie Davis, a Roadshow representative. “Broken jewelry and gold and silver coins add up very quickly. I just finished working with a gentleman that had an old class ring, two bracelets and a handful of silver dollars. His check was for over $650.00. I would say

Ammonia Leak Displaces Families by David Pugh Buckeye Staff Writer An ammonia leak at the Archbold ConAgra plant early Sunday, Sept. 4, sent several local families away from their homes. Andy Brodbeck, Archbold Fire Department chief, said firefighters and police officers knocked on the doors of about 30 homes on the west side, and several people decided to leave after being informed of the leak. Ammonia is used as a refrigerant in large commercial freezers. In June 1999, a fire and ammonia leak at Frozen Specialties, Inc., caused an evacuation of homes on the east side. Alcohol Brodbeck said the first call came to Archbold police after a report of an alcohol smell in the neighborhood of Christine Drive. When officers arrived, they realized it was ammonia, and called for the fire department at 5:51 am. When Brodbeck and Russ Wyse, assistant chief, arrived at ConAgra, police officers had already spoken with a guard, who said there was a leak inside the plant and a ConAgra employee was working on the problem. The plant was shut down at the time. No production workers were in the building. Brodbeck said ConAgra did not notify the fire department immediately, because workers believed the leak was confined to the building. “We told him we could smell it outside,� Brodbeck said. Fire trucks were dispatched to find the limits of the ammonia vapor cloud. “We didn’t know what was leaking, how much had leaked, how strong it was, or whether or not it was dissipating or laying in low areas. At about 6 am, a ConAgra employee said they could not find the leak. “We made the decision to start knocking on doors,� Brodbeck said. Action Firefighters initially found the ammonia smell extended from Christine Drive on the west to Ditto Street on the east. Wyse and APD officers

Blue Streak Boys Win Archbold Cross Country Invitational With four runners finishing in the top 10, Archbold ran away with the Archbold Cross Country Invitational boys title, Saturday, Sept. 10. The Streaks finished with 46 team points. Bryan took second with 85, and Ida, Mich., was third with 88. Blissfield, Mich., won the girls team title with 63 points, edging out Ida, which finished with 64. Bryan took third with 79. “I was very pleased with both the boys and girls teams,” said Mike Wachtmann, AHS head coach. “Everyone is working harder in practice this year and it really showed as Bryce Tinsman controlled the last part of the race to win, followed by Zeb Frank, Adrian Ramirez, and Alex Hurst in the top 10 in a field of 129 runners. “Ben Eggers stepped up to complete the top five scoring, followed closely by Seth Yoder, Chan Tinsman, and freshman Jesse Rocha. “Pete Schoenhals, Devin Shannon, and Sujeesh Sundararaj finished out a great team effort. When Nathan (Wachtmann) returns from injury, we will be at nearly full strength. “The girls really ran well, too. With Kassidy Garrow and Caroline Vonier injured, we did not have a team score. “Tressa Parsley and Ellie Sonnenberg finished together in the top 10, followed by Jensyn Garrow and Kinsey Smith with solid times running in the top half of more than 100 runners who started the race. “We want to enjoy our success but remain focused on the goal– qualifying out of the regional meet at the end of October. “Every race and every

Rebounding from a Sept. 2 loss to Bryan, Archbold (2-1) bounced back in flying fashion with a 48-14 win over visiting Fairview (0-3) in non-league football action, Friday, Sept. 9. The Apaches won the toss and elected to receive. Their first possession resulted in a Blaine Murray punt. The Streaks went right to work with a nine-play drive that ended with a Lincoln Parsley 19-yard field goal. Parsley was perfect for the night, scoring a total of 12 points as he connected on two field goals and six extra points. TJ Gerken put AHS up 100 on a 5-yard run with 39 seconds left in the first quarter, but the Streaks lost starting quarterback Tyson Dietrich in the series. Dietrich went down on the third play of the series with a twisted ankle, and sophomore backup quarterback Evan Wyse took the junior’s place. Wyse played an outstanding game, rushing for 129 yards on 16 carries and two touchdowns. “Tyson going down did alter the game plan, because you have to manage the game for Evan,” said Bryan Miller, AHS head coach. “We didn’t want to put Evan in bad spots. “We did want to run it a little more this week. The running game was effective for us, and that helped Evan manage the game.” Known for their quick strike offense, the Apaches made it known they were not to be counted out. Quarterback Andy Guilford connected with Matt Tobin for a 72-yard touchdown toss, closing the gap to 10-6 at the end of the first quarter. Danny Young capped off a five-play drive with a 3-yard touchdown run to boost the Streak lead to 17-6 at the four-minute mark of the second quarter. Fairview looked to score again but was forced to a three-and-out series. Archbold took a 17-6 lead
into the locker room.
Second Half The Archbold offense came out firing in the third quarter with Gerken scoring on a 25-yard run, Young on a 16-yard run, and Parsley nailing a 32-yard field goal. It wasn’t just the offense clicking. The Archbold defense played a stellar game, holding the Apaches to just 14 points, picking off four interceptions, and recovering two fumbles. Fairview’s only score of the second half came in the fourth quarter on a Guilford 3-yard pass to Brandon Bostater. Archbold added two more scores in the fourth with Wyse busting loose for 34and 54-yard touchdown runs. “Evan played a great game,” said Miller. “We have had an issue with injuries, and right off the bat we lost a key player early. “Quarterback is a tough spot. Tyson (Dietrich) is our starter, but he’s still learning, being just a junior. To throw a sophomore in there– that was a tall order, and he did a great job. “Everyone played together and picked each other up. “It was 17-6 at the half. Fairview had one play to score from the 2-yard line, and we had a big stop. “It was nice that we were forcing the mistakes. The defense played fantastic.” AHS 10 7 17 14 - 48 FHS 6 0 0 8 - 14 AHS-Parsley 19-yard field goal AHS-Gerken 5-yard run (PATParsley kick) FHS-Tobin 72-yard pass from Guilford (PAT-kick failed) AHS-Young 3-yard run (PATParsley kick) AHS-Gerken 25-yard run (PATParsley kick) AHS-Young 16-yard run (PATParsley kick) AHS-Parsley 32-yard field goal FHS-Bostater 3-yard pass from Guilford (PAT-2 pt. conversion, Guilford pass to Tobin) AHS-Wyse 34-yard run (PATParsley kick) AHS-Wyse 54-yard run (PATParsley kick)

Blake Drewes and David Bontrager led the Streaks (5-1) with two goals each. Bontrager added three assists.

Bontrager assisted with a cross from the right. Seven minutes later, Adrian Ramirez launched a free kick from 40 yards away. The shot ricocheted high off the cross bar before Bontrager headed the descending ball forward to Drewes, who quickly notched his second goal. Bontrager tallied his first score eight minutes before halftime from point-blank range, redirecting a Ramirez shot that carromed off the right post. Archbold’s offensive on-
slaught continued five minutes into the second half when Brodie Nofziger found the goal with a booming shot from 15 yards out with Bontrager assisting. Less than 30 seconds later, the Tigers answered with a score to spoil the shutout. The Streaks scored the final goal with 30 minutes remaining. Rodriguez served a cross from the right corner that Bontrager trapped before shooting around the diving Tiger goalie. Archbold outshot Huron 11 to eight with goalie Jonny Lantz garnering seven saves.

OPINIONS/HISTORY Golden Notes Of Archbold's Memorable Past
Generous Community Builds For Future (Children)
Ten Years Ago Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2001 “Somber” was the most common word used to describe the mood in area schools late Tuesday morning, after a series of apparent terrorist attacks against targets in the United States.
Citizens of this great area will be impressed with the new and modern little red schoolhouse at Pettisville.

What’s more startling is the generosity of the citizens who made it possible. The sincerity of Pettisville citizens is astounding. Their interest in children and education is admirable.
A most striking feature is the second floor, where high school students will spend much time. Large windows, high above, allow natural light into each classroom. Studies prove students do better in natural light, and the electric bill is reduced.
The building has many, many excellent features. It is functional, efficient, and beautiful. It evokes kindness, love, and appreciation of children. It encourages greatness of family.
The extravagant use of wood throughout the school is particularly striking. You can feel the freedom of nature and openness with the natural lighting. You sense the welcome attitude when entering.
Such features indicate the many hours of careful planning of the new Pettisville School. There is no comparison to the little red schoolhouse that stood in the country landscape. The Pettisville school speaks about the people of the district. It shouts about greatness and hard work, and how to spend your hard-earned money.

Sheila and Rebecca Beck have been named to the varsity volleyball roster at Hesston (Kan.) College. The sisters are Pettisville high graduates. Mutterings, by Orrin R. Taylor– If you give junk to the poor, is that being generous.... The illegal drug trade is draining our economy of $230 million a year.... If you’re subject to hay fever don’t drift along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.... In the good old days when a majority of the homes in Archbold had barns in which to keep the horse and buggy, no one thought of having “barn sales.” Fifty Years Ago Wednesday, Sept. 20, 1961 Council authorized the water board to repair the 60,000-gallon tank. Estimated cost is $4,000. The tank was installed in 1914-15. C.L. Lehman raised a large sunflower at his home on Ditto Street. It was 14 1/2 feet and the flower was 14 1/2 inches.

Fashions In Orbit, the style show presented by the Business & Professional Women’s Club at the high school auditorium, attracted 300 people. Max Aeschliman appears in a photograph showing his reserve champion barrow. Denver Stamm, Tri-State Farm Service, purchased the animal for 40¢ per pound at the recent Fulton County Junior Fair Sale. Mutterings, by Orrin R. Taylor– Michigan residents are almost surrounded by water. No city is farther than 85 miles from one of the Great Lakes.... Most business enterprises have become non-profit organizations, collecting taxes for government.... When three women agree, the stars will come out in broad daylight.–Indian proverb.... Old age is your lot if you rest twice as long as it takes you to get tired. Seventy-Five Years Ago Wednesday, Sept. 9, 1936 Archbold Public Schools opened Monday with the largest enrollment in history in the four grades of high school: 165. Theodore W. Dimke, Homecoming treasurer, said there was a profit of $1,154.71 from the gross of $3,583.41. Fulton County Republicans will hold a rally at the fairgrounds next Tuesday. Farmers are deeply interested in prospecting for oil, hoping that a new and profitable field may be opened in this county. In the woods of the Enos Roth farm a well was shot by a professional dynamiter at a depth of
2,195 feet last Wednesday at about 11 am. Frank L. Roth and family entertained his threshing ring, consisting of about 35 families, in the pavilion in Ruihley Park, Tuesday evening. Misses Sarah Short and Mary Schmucker have returned from service as workers at the Salem Orphanage, near Flanagan, Ill., having served the past 34 years. Carpenters are putting the siding on a 20x40 building on the Geesey farm. It will be used by Milton Sigg to store his popcorn crop. 100 Years Ago Tuesday, Sept. 19, 1911 The first strike of lightning knocked off the steeple of the Allen Methodist Church, near Hillsdale, Mich., and the second bolt burned the $13,000 church. The tower of the Baptist Church at Hillsdale also was struck and damaged Friday. John VanHooft sold his share in the Archbold Electric Light & Power Co., to Mr. Thomas DeVries of Coopersville, Mich.

Archbold sells more lumber and building material than any village in Fulton County. The 50th anniversary of the German Lutheran Church at Pettisville will be celebrated Sunday. The little emperor of China spent his first day in school Monday and all of the other children of the 500 million Chinese were given a holiday. The young emperor must learn an alphabet of 1,500 letters. Chinese words spell themselves. Earrings are coming into style again. Nose rings may be the next fad, especially for baseball parties. Hetty Green’s son, Edward H.R. Green, has received 6,242 offers of marriage since he announced he is looking for a wife. Over 6,000 women want to marry the fat boy with the millions, and he still is hunting for the right one. Friday, Sept. 22, 1911 Jerry Henry, of near Pettisville, was attacked by a pig. He went into the sty to release a small pig that was fast and advertising it with loud squeals. He was attacked by the sow, charged, and knocked down. His left arm was bitten and his right hand, torn. He might have lost his life had his assailant’s attention not been distracted by another pig, also fast, which gave Henry time to get away. Both his hands are out of commission. He is very thankful that one pig got him out of trouble when another got him in it. Miss Zola Fortney, of West Unity, is to be tried in Bryan on the charge of enticing young girls to enter lives of shame in questionable houses in Toledo. If convicted, it means from one to 20 years in the penitentiary. Gid Myers’ auto struck the bicycle of John Meister’s son at Ridgeville Corners, Sunday afternoon. The bicycle was destroyed and the boy’s clothes were torn. A Pennsylvania judge has decided that it is no part of a woman’s household work to milk cows. But where was his consistency when he also decided that she might collect the eggs and feed the chickens. Bring your fresh gathered eggs to the Hub Grocery and receive highest market price.–adv. If liquor stimulates a man as a whip does a horse, is that why it is called liquor.

14–Archbold (Ohio) Buckeye, Week of September 14, 2011
*School Days (Continued from first page) many, many years. “Every morning, we’d have to do our exercises. Then we’d be done with that, and she taught us a psalm. She taught us the first psalm, the 23rd, the 121st, and a couple more. She was very diligent,” she said. Rupp remembers J.J. Rychener, Pettisville’s first superintendent, who taught history. “He would always (say), ‘Get your pad out, go from one to 10.’ He had 10 questions to answer, and you didn’t know, you never knew when he would say, ‘this is your test today.’” Rychener also supervised a study hall. “That guy was so slippery, you never knew when he was in there or when he wasn’t. It was the quietest of all the study halls, because if you turned around to see where he was, he would let you know. So everybody was afraid to turn their head to see where the fox was. “He might be in there, and you could hear when he left the room, see? On occasion, he would go and open the door and close it, but he didn’t leave!” Beck said she had English under Miss Wyse. “She was a tough cookie,” Rupp said. “But she was a good teach-
er. You learned from her,” Beck said. “She kept order. No shenanigans. That’s why all the kids did extremely well at Pettisville,” Rupp said. Sports Pettisville didn’t start to play basketball against other schools until the 1929 building opened. The first few years, the principal, Stewart Gottschall, doubled as coach. Later, A.C. Robbins, a Purdue University graduate, came along. “He was the first guy in basketball to teach the fast break. When they (other teams) came to play Pettisville, he did the fast break, and he was very successful for two or three years,” Rupp said. In fact, Robbins convinced the team from Toledo Waite High School to come play PHS. “Pettisville just happened to have some big guys... Floyd Smith, Tom Rychener, Jim Zehr. As I remember, those guys beat the Waite team,” Rupp said. Rupp said as a student, he remembers singing “America the Beautiful.” “I get tears in my eyes when I sing it, because of where we are today, compared to where we were then.”
*Archbold Elevator (Continued from first page) After taxes and the cost of goods sold are deducted, gross profit was $536,107. After operating expenses, including $154,114 in payroll expenses, the elevator’s net income prior to receivership fees was $190,603. After $82,500 in receivership fees were deducted, the final net income figure was $108,103. Sale In his report, Kowalski noted two properties, the Liberty Center and Rolling Meadows farms, were sold for $608,303.21. “As a result of these funds, and the significant positive cash flow to the receivership, the receiver will soon be seeking court approval... to begin distribution of funds to the secured creditors according to priority,” the report states. He noted that extreme heat over the summer caused cash flow and management problems for the business. “With temperatures moderating, more hogs are now able to meet appropriate market weight. “Additional loads of mar-
ket-ready hogs are being shipped weekly. Additionally, the receiver has been selling hogs on the open market,” the court filing noted. Kowalski said contracts with Indiana Packers Corporation, Delphi, Ind., for the sale of hogs, and The Andersons, Maumee, for the lease of grain storage space, “are being fully implemented. Both of these contracts have been positive for the receiver.” Bids In his report, Kowalski told the court that bids for the purchase of the elevator and related businesses and property have been received. “The receiver has reviewed and analyzed the bids, and interviewed certain bidders to clarify their bids. “As soon as the receiver has made his final decision on the bid awards, the receiver will seek the approval of the parties to this lawsuit. “If approval is not obtained, the receiver will file a motion with the court seeking an immediate hearing,” the court filing states.
*New Pettisville (Continued from first page) perintendent, said the biggest issue is the sound that travels between classrooms and between offices in the building. “We are working to address those issues, looking for a way to improve the sound barriers,” Switzer said. Other problems included poor lighting in the gymnasium, power doors that are not yet operable, and numerous minor defects, such as uneven painting.

The Pettisville Local School Board approved a one-school-year leave of absence for Catherine Mielke, a junior high school English and social studies teacher. The stated reason is health issues. The action came during the board’s Monday, Sept. 12, meeting. The board approved hiring Jenn King as a longterm substitute to fill in for Mielke. The two moves came after the board held an executive session. The closed-door session lasted 16 minutes. The board accepted the resignation of Anna Norris, school bus driver. She was approved as a substitute driver. Norris accepted a job outside of education that made it impossible for her to continue as a regular driver. The board approved supplemental contracts for several persons. Brian Leppelmeier was approved as the junior varsity girls basketball coach. He replaces Lonnie Rufenacht, who resigned. Kendra Stahl will take Lep-
pelmeier’s former job as girls varsity assistant. Monika Burkholder was approved a seventh grade volleyball coach. Jacinta Nafziger, guidance counselor, was approved for five days of extended time on her contract at her current daily pay rate. Bus routes were approved. The six routes that have been used for the past few years were retained. District officials considered eliminating one route, but after looking at the numbers, saw the move would allow almost no room for growth. Preliminary figures show district enrollment is up, and that the route that they had considered eliminating and spreading between other busses had actually grown by about 25 students. A special board meeting will be Wednesday, Sept. 28, 7 am, to act on appropriation and other financial matters. The next regular board meeting is Monday, Oct. 10, 7 pm, in the school conference room.–D.J. Neuenschwander
Pettisville School Board Talks About Report Cards Pettisville Local Schools students turned in a performance index score of 107.9, the 22nd highest of more than 600 school districts in Ohio. Members of the Pettisville School board discussed the performance index score during their Monday, Sept. 12 meeting. “It is the highest performance index we have ever earned,” said Steve Switzer, superintendent. “The credit goes to a great staff and great kids who work hard.” The performance index is one of several scores that are part of the Ohio Department of Education school report cards. Students who score high-
er in state tests earn more points for their district than those who perform at proficient levels. The index has a maximum possible score of 120. Switzer told board members that last year, Pettisville was ranked as the 17th-smallest district in the state. “Because we are small, each student counts for a larger percentage, so just a few students could change our results dramatically,” he said. Overall, the ODE ranked Pettisville as an Excellent school district.–D.J. Neuenschwander
Flu season is coming, and it’s time to get your annual flu vaccination, said Mike Oricko, Fulton County Health Commissioner. In the past, vaccine has been in short supply, but for 2011, Oricko said, “There should be plenty of vaccine available for everyone six months of age and older. “There are no restrictions anymore as to who can receive vaccine.” The 2011 vaccination campaign begins tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 22. There will be a clinic at the Fulton County Health Department from 9 am to noon and 1 to 3 pm. Also, the department is offering a drive-through flu shot clinic from 4:30 to 7 pm for those with difficulty walking, those over 65, and children with mobility issues. Appointments are required for both. There are six community walk-in clinics scheduled. The Archbold clinic is at the Archbold Community Library on Tuesday, Oct. 25. The clinic in Fayette is at the opera house on Tuesday, Nov. 1. The two clinics are from noon to 5:30 pm. Typical Oricko said at this point, it appears the 2011-12 flu season will probably be typical. “There are a couple of situations that have cropped up worldwide. There are different varieties of flu that pop up and affect people, but nothing that’s spreading very quickly,” he said. But even a typical year can be deadly. About 36,000 people die in the United States each year from seasonal flu and its complications. While a flu shot is not a guarantee that someone will not get the flu, it is still
recommended, especially for those at high risk for flu complications such as young children, older adults, and those with other health conditions. A 2007 study said based on 10 seasons of research showed getting a flu shot “was associated with significant reductions in the risk of hospitalizations for pneumonia or influenza, and the risk of death among communitydwelling elderly persons.” Best Thing Oricko said getting vaccinated with a flu shot “is the single best thing you can do to avoid getting the flu.” Other tips including eating right, getting plenty of sleep, staying away from ill persons, washing hands frequently, and covering the mouth when coughing and sneezing.
Pettisville Enrollment Up 30 Students Steve Switzer, Pettisville Local School District superintendent, said 542 students are enrolled for the 2011-12 school year. That’s based on a preliminary count, conducted on the third day of the school year. Switzer reported there are 259 students in the elementary school and 283 in the high school. The figure of 542 is up 30 students, or about 5.9%, from 2010-11, when the district had 512 students based on the preliminary count. -----I chose my wife, as she did her wedding gown, not for a fine glossy surface, but such qualities as would wear well.–Oliver Goldsmith

Welcome to the NEW
PETTISVILLE SCHOOL First Day Of School – September 7, 2011
2B–Archbold (Ohio) Buckeye, Week of September 14, 2011
Students gather Sept. 16, 2009, on the lawn south of the old Pettisville School Building for the groundbreaking ceremony for the new school building. Just a few days shy of two years later,
classes opened in the new building. At the groundbreaking, each child was given a commemorative spoon and allowed to turn a spoon full of earth.–photo by David Pugh

Principals Have Lots To Learn About New School by D.J. Neuenschwander Special to the Buckeye A new school building for Pettisville means changes for everyone, including the high school and elementary principals. Michael Lane, high school principal for the past nine years, said as he begins working in the new building, he has a lot to learn. “I will have to learn everything about all of the new systems in the new building,” Lane said. “Like operating the public address system, the classroom sound and video components, lighting, setting up key fobs, etc.”
space will allow for more scheduling opportunities,” said Waldvogel. People, Not Buildings Waldvogel said he will miss the old elementary “because it is where I started my teaching career. “But the students and the people are what really made Michael Jason the good memories, not the Lane Waldvogel building.” Lane said he will miss the unique features of the old Lane’s counterpart in the building, and how beautielementary, Jason Waldvo- fully it was maintained on gel, is looking forward to the the surface by the custodial opportunities the new build- staff, “even though it was crumbling beneath the suring will provide. “I hope the additional face.”

“I will also miss how previous generations of graduates still felt connected to the old building every time they came back to visit or attend an event,” Lane said. Waldvogel said he loved the hellos and goodbyes between students and teachers as they walked the elementary hallway each day. “With the design of the new building, it will (still) be possible to continue those,” he said. Lane said his favorite memory would have to be hearing the high school choir singing during first period every day. “The beautiful voices
could be heard in most areas of the building because the choir was so large they had to hold class in the junior high gymnasium, which was in the center of the building.” Both principals said they have heard nothing but positive comments about the new building. “A few of the teachers were cheering as they saw their finished rooms,” Waldvogel said. Lane said that community members he has spoken to have been very positive. “I believe they are excited to see the new building completed and are proud that
the community supported the project.” Warm Feeling Referring to the new building, Waldvogel said people will love “the warm feeling the building gives. “The building will be a place everyone will want to be. It doesn’t have that institutional feel.” Lane thinks some people will be surprised that their money was spent so wisely. “Every decision made by the administration, staff and community members on the planning committees had to do with getting the most use from each dollar.”

New Pettisville School Pays Homage To 1929 Building by David Pugh Buckeye Staff Writer When Andy Welch, project architect for the new Pettisville school, was ready to design the building, he turned to the past for inspiration. “We had the 1929 original building we wanted to pay respect to,” he said. That building “had a lot of design character. We wanted to pick up some of the design elements. “You see a lot of that work with the brick patterns (in the new building) that replicate those in the 1929 building. That, and the use of stone around the windows,” he said. At the same time, Welch and his colleagues at Buehrer Group, an architectural and engineering firm in Maumee, wanted to pay respect to the 1994 addition to the school, which housed the gymnasium, library, study
hall, and computer lab. The addition was a $1.8million project, with all money coming from private donations. There was no bond issue and accompanying property tax levy to finance the construction. “The community put a lot of money and effort into that. We needed to pay respect to that as well,” he said. OSFC The new school is one of many across the state being built with the help of the Ohio School Facilities Commission. In Pettisville’s case, the OSFC paid about 80% of the cost of the $21 million-plus building. Taxpayers in the school district were required to pass a $4.8 million-plus property tax levy to pay their share of the project. They went to the polls to decide the issue on Nov.
4, 2008. When the official count was complete, the tally was 59% in favor to 41% opposed. The OSFC imposes basic requirements on buildings it funds. There are some aspects it will not pay for. Welch said they try to make every building “unique to the (school) district. “That was more so with this project. “One of the things Dr. (Steve) Switzer, district superintendent, challenged us to do, was make this uniquely Pettisville.” One area where they were able to do that was the stage, auditorium, and dining area. The OSFC will not pay for an auditorium. That required some careful thinking and clever design. In front of the stage is an area recessed about four feet. The space is designated as a multipurpose area for
at h t y a s tod
OSFC requirements. But it also allows more seating in the auditorium. Behind the multipurpose area is folding, theater-style seating. It differs from standard gym-style bleacher seats. Rather than seats which pull out from a wall, the folded seats form a wall between the auditorium and the cafeteria. Once tables and chairs are cleared from the cafeteria, the “wall” moves backwards, becoming auditorium seating. “It’s per OSFC standards,” Welch said. “There’s nothing there we had to pay extra for.” Atrium One thing the OSFC would not pay for was a connection between the new building and the 1994 structure.

School Features Green Elements How can a red brick school building be green at the same time? When the green refers to energy-saving environmentally-friendly building materials and techniques. The new Pettisville school may be red, but there are many green aspects to it. Andy Welch, an architect with the Buehrer Group, Maumee, and the project architect on the new school project, said the Ohio School Facilities Commission, which is providing the major portion of funding for the school, emphasizes “green.” He listed some green aspects that will be obvious... and not so obvious. One of the biggest will be the wind turbine, a $1.8-million project that should be completed in 2011. Given the right wind conditions, the turbine could conceivably supply 100% of the school’s electric needs. The district will remain tied to the Toledo Edison power supply grid, so electricity is available when the wind is not blowing. Not so obvious is construction of some walls in the building. Poured concrete walls were built using insulating concrete forms. The forms for the concrete are actually insulation; once the concrete is dry, the forms remain in place. Walls made of concrete block are insulated as well. Spaces within the block are filled with insulating foam, and there’s insulation on the inside and outside of the concrete block walls as well. “There’s much more insulated space,” he said. The roof structure has thicker-than-usual insulation.
a room, they will automatically shut off the lights after five minutes. LEED Welch said everything has to meet LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, standards. LEED is a system of certification for green building standards. It covers many elements right down to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are chemical fumes that may be given off by such things as carpeting and adhesives. LEED even requires that building materials come to the site from within a 500mile radius. “We’re trying to use materials (from within the radius) as much as possible,” he said. Building a green building is a big driving force in Jaydon Hernandez looks over his new first grade classroom the Pettisville school project, during the Sept. 1 school open house while Noelia Perez, his Welch said. grandmother, looks on.

Classrooms on the second floor feature large windows above the classroom level. The windows allow natural light into the classrooms, reducing the need for artificial electric lights and providing better lighting conditions for students.–photo by David Pugh
Welch said studies prove students learn better working in daylight than under artificial light, which is known as “day lighting.” Since the high school classrooms run along an east-west corridor, their orientation to the sun lends itself to daylight. But not all classrooms could use the day lighting concept.

between the pond and the school. In the summer months, cool water at the bottom of the pond is pumped into the building for cooling. In the winter, the process is reversed. Heat is taken from the relatively warm water at the bottom of the pond, and transferred into the building. Welch said the new building has a solar hot water heater. The solar collector, which absorbs heat from the sun, is installed on the south side of the building. Welch said the building is designed to be as energy efficient as possible, right down to the light switches. The switches will have “occupancy sensors.” When the switches detect no motion in

Teachers Share Memories Of Old School, Look Forward To Making Memories In New Building by D.J. Neuenschwander Special to the Buckeye When the new Pettisville school opened, students were not the only ones who began learning new things. The teaching staff had new things to learn as well. The teachers needed to learn whose room is whose, what new technology was available and how to use it, and how to change and adapt lesson plans to make the best use of the new space. For Marla Miller, who teaches junior high and high school math courses, the new opportunities are exciting. “I don’t even know all the new avenues that will open for teaching in creative ways,” Miller said. “I am looking forward to being able to use the technology more– and not having to worry about tripping over cords!” Miller said she won’t miss the noisy fans that were always in use to try and cool the classrooms in the old building, which had no air conditioning, and she won’t miss the bees that often invaded her classroom when the windows were open. She does have some nostalgia for the old building, and will always remember the way the students would form tunnels with their arms and hands to send sports teams off to regional and state competition, with the tunnel weaving throughout the halls of the entire building. Students Became Teachers Several teachers’ memories of the old school building were extra special, because many were students at Pettisville who returned to teach at their alma mater. Rebecca Dorosz, a fifthyear junior and senior high school English teacher, attended Pettisville from kindergarten on. Dorosz said she has many fond memories of the old building. Favorites are the legends that were formed about the source of noises in the vents in the building. “Students made up stories that teachers disposed of unruly students by shutting them up in the vents,” Dorosz laughed. “The stories turned

into local legends, and it was fun to hear them develop.” But Dorosz is also excited about the new building, and the improved learning atmosphere. “There is a technology lab located between the English classrooms that will be great for working on writing projects and producing the school newspaper.” Because she is often involved in drama productions, Dorosz is excited about the new auditorium, saying, “The auditorium is phenomenal. People will be surprised.” And when she toured the new building, Dorosz was impressed with the homey feel. “It sounds funny, but to me the building feels like Pettisville. It seems uniquely Pettisville.” Jim Hoops, a 1980 Pettisville grad, has taught fourth grade at Pettisville the past ten years. He said he has mixed emotions about the new school, because he has many fond memories of the old building. Hoops smiled when he recalled that he could watch his

students and even his own children hang their coats on the same hooks that he used when he was in elementary school. Hoops didn’t get too involved in the planning for the new building, not going on the tours of other new schools. One thing he looked forward to was having windows in his classroom. In the old school, his classroom was one of the few that had no windows. He had air conditioning instead. When he was asked how the new school would change his job, he smiled. “Not much, really. There will be some new technology to use, and that will be nice. But students can learn in any building, or even outside.”

rangement. “I loved the loft,” Hoffmire said. The wooden loft structure dominated the kindergarten classroom. Children could climb to the upper level and play, or sit and read. “It was a special place for kids,” Hoffmire said. “When kids came back later to visit the classroom, they were always surprised how small the loft was,” Aeschliman said. “To a kindergarten student, it was way above their heads, and they loved it.” Beautiful Building “The old building was com-
fortable, and it was a good place to teach,” Aeschliman said. “But wow, the new building is beautiful. “They did a great job planning it, with real attention to detail,” Aeschliman said. “It is going to be nice,” Hoffmire agreed. “I was impressed with the building, with things like the beautiful woodwork.” “But I will miss sharing a classroom with my sister,” Hoffmire said. “Not too many teachers get to do that. “But how many times does a teacher get to start teaching in a brand new building? That will be special, too.”

The old tub was a part of the Pettisville kindergarten classroom for more than 20 years. It was used as a pleasant place to read or take a break. The tub did not get taken to the new school; it was sold at an auction to raise funds to buy equipment and furnishings for the new building.

*New Pettisville (Continued from page 3B) Foundation raised money to pay for the structure, but was short of the final cost. An arrangement was reached, whereby the foundation borrowed $135,000 to make up the difference between what was raised and the almost-$900,000 cost of the atrium. The school district will lease the atrium from the Foundation at a minimum payment of $15,000, which will go toward repayment of the Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loan. Welch described the atrium as a two-story open structure, with a second-level walkway connecting the second floor of the new school with the 1994 building. The second-floor walkway will open into the study hall. The plan is for the atrium to become the after-hours entrance for sports, plays, concerts, and other events. Again taking cues from the 1929 building, Welch said the atrium entrance â&#x20AC;&#x153;will pretty much be a replica of the 1929 main entrance.â&#x20AC;? In addition, the stone masthead with the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pettisville School,â&#x20AC;? which was mounted above the 1929 front door, were salvaged, and will be included in the new atrium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Switzer is very big on keeping the past alive,â&#x20AC;? Welch said. The new school includes a new gym, which Welch said is about 1,000 square feet bigger than the gym in the 1994 addition.
He said it would seat about 100 more spectators. Exciting Welch said the Pettisville school has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;a really exciting project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I live in Delta, and I had friends who went to Pettisville. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to the first basketball game in the new gym.â&#x20AC;?
When the new Pettisville school building opened, there were more people affected than just teachers and students. Brenda Aeschliman, head cook for the district, was looking forward to seeing the new kitchen where the cafeteria staff will prepare meals for hundreds of students every day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We helped in the planning, but I am anxious to see the real thing,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to have some new equipment and we will have to learn how to use it and take advantage of the new choices it will offer.â&#x20AC;? The kitchen in the new school contains a steamer, warmers that are separate from the ovens, and equipment that will allow more menu options, including more ethnic foods like stir fry. While she looks forward to the new building and all it will offer for her job and for the students, Aeschliman will miss some things about the old building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am at least the fifth generation in my family to attend the school,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to Pettisville, as did my mom and grandmother. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize it when I took this job, but my grandmother, Viola Sauder, was also a cook at Pettisville.â&#x20AC;? Aeschliman said that while she may miss the retro feel of the old kitchen, the new design will allow more room for working, and will definitely improve the serving lines. Old Gym As a former student, Aeschliman fondly recalls the basketball games in the old gymnasium, which later became the junior high gym. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a student in the 1970s, and we had some great basketball teams, including the one that was state runner-up. I remember the enthusiasm, the crowd roaring, and the way the sound echoed,â&#x20AC;? she said. Aeschliman said that she thinks people will be pleased

She toured it in May, and was surprised by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;warm, inviting lookâ&#x20AC;? even when it was not finished and there was no furniture. Temperature Control Ron Burkholder, head custodian, also is a Pettisville alumnus, as were his parents and his children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best thing for me will be the ability to control the temperature in the new school,â&#x20AC;? Burkholder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the old Ron building, the Burkholder rooms would sometimes get up around 100 degrees in the summer, and sometimes you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get them warm in the winter.â&#x20AC;? He said there are computerized controls for the heat and air conditioning system, which should make it easier to maintain the ideal tem-
peratures in the classrooms. Burkholder will not miss the constant problems in the old buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plumbing system, which would often
break first in one spot, and then when that was repaired would break in a new location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know there will be problems in the new building, and I will have a lot to learn about how to fix things,â&#x20AC;? Burkholder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the learning stage right now.â&#x20AC;? While the building is supposed to be a low-maintenance facility, Burkholder said it will take time to learn how to best keep the new building clean and everything operating smoothly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the old building, I knew all the problems, and how to fix them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I have a lot of new systems to learn, and I will probably have to make a lot of phone calls when something goes wrong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people will be shocked by how nice the building looks, especially the new gym,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will be shocked by the size, and by the floors that have lines that are stained rather than painted. It is very unusual to see that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people will be pleased and impressed with the new school.

At the old building, the greenhouse was a stand-alone, temporary building. In the new school, the greenhouse is built onto the south side of the building, adjacent to the shop area. It has a door to the outside so students can attend to plants when school is not in session.–photo by David Pugh

Third Time In History Pettisville Students Move Into New Building When the new Pettisville school building opened on Wednesday, Sept. 7, it was the third time a new school opened in the unincorporated community. Records show the first new school was built in 1869, only 13 years after Pettisville was established as a town in 1856. It was a two-room grade school with grades 1-4 on the first floor and 5-8 on the second. School records list 119 students enrolled at Pettisville in 1897, the earliest year for which records are available. Students who wanted to continue an education beyond eighth grade went to Wauseon or Archbold high schools. 1927 Consolidation Plan In 1927, word came from the county board of education that there were plans to divide Pettisville students between Archbold and Wauseon. The Pettisville school would be closed. Pettisville residents voiced opposition to the plan. New borders were proposed for a Pettisville School District in 1928, and after the county board of education approved the borders, plans were made for a new school building. The school opened on Sept. 9, 1929, and it was in constant use until this past spring. When it first opened, though, it was quite different from the building with which recent students were familiar, most of which was demolished this summer. The building underwent several renovations and additions over the course of its 82 years. The first was a large addition built in 1951 that included an enlargement of the gymnasium (the junior high gym of recent years), a new cafeteria and kitchen, a music room, and a shop. In 1956 the elementary school wing was added. A portion of the addition has been retained by the district for storage, maintenance office space, and other nonclassroom uses. One more project was undertaken in 1960, when Pettisville added an industrial arts room and science class-
rooms, and enlarged the cafeteria. The final addition to the school was unique. In 1994, a new varsity gymnasium, library, and computer lab were added, but the addition was not paid for with tax dollars. Rather, the Pettisville School Foundation raised the $1.8 million needed for the project through donaThe new elementary playground is on the east end of the tions. school. The ground beneath the equipment is covered with wood chips, as a "fall safe" surface. The chips are intended OSFC Funding In late July 2011, twothirds of the Pettisville school was demolished, having been replaced by the new K-12 building that was constructed under the Ohio School Facilities Commission program. The state program provided 82% of the more than $20 million cost, with local tax funds covering the remainder. Portions of the old building that were retained included the 1994 addition, and about half of the elementary wing built in 1956. The new school will be connected with the older building through an atrium that will serve as a school lobby of sorts, and will feature a special entrance that will resemble the entrance to the 1929 building. The Pettisville School Foundation once again raised funds to help cover the costs of the atrium. Plans also call for the school bell that was saved from the 1869 school to be mounted on a special brick base, with the bricks inscribed with names or messages of donors who contributed to the cost of the atrium.
