New sidewalks will be built on the east side of Buehrer Street, both sides of Schlatter Street, and on both sides of part of Burke Street, village council decided. Council met Tuesday, Sept. 6, and voted to approve the sidewalk plan recom-mended by the streets and sidewalks committee and engineering department. The sidewalk plan is part of the overall North Buehrer Street improvement project, which village offi cials have slated for spring and sum-mer, 2012. Sidewalks A sidewalk will be built on the east side of Buehrer Street, from W. Lugbill Road to Burke Street. There will be no sidewalk on the west side of the road. New sidewalks will be constructed on the north and south sides of Schlat-ter Street, from a point east of the Lindau Street inter-section to South Defi ance Street. On Burke Street, a side-walk will be built on the south side from Buehrer Street to South Defi ance Street. A new sidewalk will be built on the north side of Burke Street, from Buehrer Street to Pleasant Street. On Burke and Lindau streets, the sidewalks will

connect with sidewalks that were built when the two streets were extended west. Overall Bob Seaman, said the street improvement, cur-rently estimated to cost about $855,000, will involve the total excavation and re-construction of the three streets. North Buehrer will be rebuilt from West Lugbill Road to Burke Street. Schlatter will be rebuilt from a point west of Bueh-rer Street to South Defi ance Street, and Burke Street will be rebuilt from North Bueh-rer Street to South Defi ance Street. The streets will be exca-vated to remove the current pavement and base. Then a new stone sub-base will be laid, followed by pavement. New 24-foot-wide asphalt streets, with concrete curbs and gutters, will be built. Storm sewers in the area are in good condition. There will be some repair. Sanitary However, sanitary sewers in the area are a problem, and will be corrected by the reconstruction. Seaman said sanitary sew-ers in the area are located behind the houses. They are shallow, have leaky joints, and in some cases, are

blocked or partially blocked by tree roots. A new sanitary sewer sys-tem will be built in front of the homes. Contractors will dig trenches around the homes to connect to the sanitary sewer outlets in the back of the houses. Seaman said there will be

no cost to homeowners for the process. The village has received a $250,000 State of Ohio Issue Two grant to assist with the project. The North Buehrer Street Improvement project has not been released for bids. Seaman said design work is underway.

Buehrer Street To Get New Streets, Sidewalks Under Council Plan

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 at-tendance record was 28,597, set in 2007. The new record is 824, or about 2.9%, high-er. A new single-day record was set the day before, Mon-day, Sept. 5, when 73,105 visited the fairgrounds, top-ping the previous one-day record of 63,530 set on Sun-day 2008. On Wednesday, Sept. 7, rain and chilly temperatures produced perhaps the low-est 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 Wednes-day. Records readily accessible at this newspaper go back to 1998; even the lowest fi g-ures for a Wednesday tops 15,000. Compared to the Wednes-day 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 at-tendance. During the fi rst two days, Friday and Sat-

urday, Sept. 2-3, the tem-perature hit 100 degrees atthe Archbold WastewaterTreatment Plant. It was 80degrees on Sunday, Sept. 4.There were brief rain show-ers on Saturday and Sun-day. Monday, the record day,offered perfect fair-goingweather with a high of 64and no rain. Never Shut Down Sue Whitaker, incomingFulton County Fair Boardsecretary, said in spite of theweather on Wednesday, thefair did not close. Midway rides ceased op-erations because of wet con-ditions, but the rodeo thatnight went ahead. Thingsdidn’t wrap up until almostmidnight, Whitaker said.

Overall Total attendance at the2011 Fulton County Fairwas 243,555, about 13.8%off the record of 282,417 in2010. 2011 Standing Record Day Attendance & Year SetFriday 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)

In spite of not having a working elevator, the move into the new Pettisville school building went well, said school district offi cials. “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 teach-ers and students who worked hard to make the move hap-pen. “The elevator was not available, so we had to carry box after box of books up the stairs to the second fl oor,” he said. Lane said John Poulson,

New Pettisville School Move-In Goes Well

The two remaining members of the Pettisville High School Class of 1935 held their 76th class re-union recently. Out of the 20 students who received PHS diplo-mas 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 for-get 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, fi rst through eighth grades." In 1928 or ‘29, coun-ty-level school offi cials redrew school district boundry lines, "and we started going to the big

school in Pettisville," Rupp said. There was a school in Pet-tisville at that time, a two-story, wood-frame building that was less than a block away from the 1929 build-ing.

“One through four was downstairs, and fi ve through eight was upstairs,” Rupp said. “It had iron (hand) rails, and about four or fi ve steps to get up to the fi rst fl oor. “Occasionally, somebody

would challenge some kid in the fall, when we had the fi rst 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 hap-pened,” Rupp said. When the 1929 building opened, Rupp said the stu-dents were excited. “Sure we were excited. We were mostly country kids, and to get into the big city and a big build-ing, why wouldn’t we have been excited?” School Days When she was a child, school started at 9 am and students were released at 4 pm, Beck said. Today, school at Pet-tisville starts at 8:20 am; students are dismissed at 3:05 pm. Beck said the fi rst fi ve grades were downstairs. “Sixth grade was at the top of the stairs, then seventh and eighth, and then on around the cor-ner. Later, fi fth and sixth grades were downstairs,” she said. Among the teachers was Miss (Flora) Dimke. “She taught fi fth, sixth, seventh, and eighth. We had her for fi fth and sixth. “This lady never mar-ried. She had a sister, Amelia, who stayed home and did the work, and Flo-ra taught school for many,

Archbold Elevator pro-duced a net income of $108,103 for the month end-ing July 31, Gerald R. Kowal-ski, receiver of the business, said in a recent court fi ling. The grain elevator and hog-raising business was placed in the hands of a court-ap-pointed receiver earlier this year. Financial problems were discovered by an Ohio De-partment of Agriculture inspection, leading to a sus-pension of the fi rm’s grain

handling license. The Farmers & MerchantsState Bank, Archbold, fi led a lawsuit seeking more than$4.9 million against Arch-bold Elevator and its associ-ated businesses. A statement of income fi led on Wednesday, Sept. 7, withthe receiver’s fourth statusreport to the Fulton CountyCommon Pleas Court saidthe business had total grossrevenue of more than $4.4million in July.

Pettisville agricultural edu-cation teacher, recruited hisupper level students to help. “They never complainedand they just kept pushingthrough all morning (Tues-day, Aug. 23) carrying boxesup the stairs.” The ag students werejoined by more students whowere fi nishing athletic prac-tices, who then pitched in to help.

Problems The board also reviewed anumber of glitches and prob-lems that were noted as thebuilding began to be used. Steve Switzer, district su-

Morris Rupp, left, and Meredith (Britsch) Beck, remaining mem-bers of the Pettisville High School Class of 1935, reminisced about their school days. When the 1929 Pettisville school build-ing opened, the two were seventh graders. The building was torn down this summer, and a new Pettisville school opened Wednesday, Sept. 7.

Fulton County unemploy-ment in July topped 10%, ac-cording to the latest estimate from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. After three consecutive months under the double-digit mark, unemployment was estimated at 10.5%. Between January 2005, and November 2008, unem-ployment 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 unem-ployment 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 unem-ployment 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, un-employment 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%.

Other July Rates For July 2011, all counties in the four-county area were above 10%. Defi ance and Henry were tied for the low-est rate at 10.1%. Williams County had the highest rate, 11.8%. ODJFS estimated Fulton County labor force was 22,000 in July, with 19,700 working and 2,300 unemployed. Geauga County, in north-

Why did the chicken cross the road? To visit downtown Arch-bold and the beautiful his-toric district. Tim Nofziger, Archbold, said he was in the Circle K convenience store on Thurs-day, Sept. 8. Someone came in the store (Mary Garman), and said there was a chicken in the parking lot. “Someone was outside try-ing to catch it. I had it once, but it went under a car and ran towards the railroad tracks.” The chicken circled back towards the gas pumps. “There was a lady behind it, and I said, ‘you grab it fi rst,’ then I caught it.” Nofziger said he was going to call the police, and some-one at the convenience store said, “That’s a good idea, because it broke out of the pen.” Someone suggested tak-ing the bird to the Archbold Buckeye, and possibly get-ting his picture in the paper. Which is what happened. The Archbold Police De-partment was called about the bird. “They said there was noth-ing they could do about it. They said take it out to a fi eld and let it go,” Nofziger said. With the assistance of Ross Wm. Taylor, newspaper publisher, Nofziger took the bird to a houses on the out-skirts of town where there

are other chickens. Nofziger thought it might be a Grime chicken, so he turned it loose “and it ran somewhere in the front yard. “I don’t know if it was his chicken or not,” he said. Nofziger said he’d never seen a chicken in town be-fore. “I’ve seen a raccoon up-town in Wauseon before, but I’ve never seen a chicken in Archbold,” he said.

Archbold (Ohio) Buckeye, Week of September 14, 2011–3

By Jason DelongSTAFF WRITER

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 un-believable, I brought in some old coins that had been in a little cigar box for years and some old herringbone necklaces—in less

than fifteen minutes I left with a check for $700. That stuff has been in my jewelry box and dresser for at least 20 years.” An-other 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 contin-ued, “I got another $300.00 for a broken necklace and an old class ring. It’s not ev-ery day that someone comes to town bring-ing 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 valu-able 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 special-ists find items that their collectors are inter-ested 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

that there were well over 100 people in here yesterday that sold their scrap gold.”

One gentleman holding his check for over $1,250.00 in the lobby of the event yesterday had this comment: “I am so hap-py I decided to come to the Roadshow. I saw the newspaper ad for the event and brought in an old German sword I had brought back from World War II and some old coins, and here is my check. What a great thing for our community. I am heading home now to see what else I have that they might be interested in.”

The Roadshow continues today starting at 9am. The event is free and no appoint-ment is needed.

TREASURE HUNTERS ROADSHOW HAS BEEN TOURING THE WORLD SINCE 2001. THIS YEAR ALONE, WE WILL VISIT 3,000 CITIES AND OVER HALF A MILLION PEOPLE WILL CASH IN!

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE CASH IN ON MODERN DAY GOLD RUSH!

Gold and silver pour into yesterday’s Roadshow due to highest prices in 40 years.

If you go to the Roadshow, you can cash-in your items for competitive prices. Roadshow representatives will be avail-able to assess and purchase your items at the Elm Street Hall, this week through Saturday, in Wauseon.

Clean Up Accident Scene

6–Archbold (Ohio) Buckeye, Week of September 14, 2011

NEWS

by David PughBuckeye 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 fi refi ghters and police offi -cers knocked on the doors of about 30 homes on the west side, and several people de-cided to leave after being in-formed of the leak.

Ammonia is used as a re-frigerant in large commercial freezers. In June 1999, a fi re and ammonia leak at Frozen Specialties, Inc., caused an evacuation of homes on the east side.

AlcoholBrodbeck said the fi rst

call came to Archbold police after a report of an alcohol smell in the neighborhood of Christine Drive.

When offi cers arrived, they realized it was ammo-nia, and called for the fi re department at 5:51 am.

When Brodbeck and Russ Wyse, assistant chief, ar-rived at ConAgra, police offi -cers 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 build-ing.

Brodbeck said ConAgra did not notify the fi re depart-ment immediately, because workers believed the leak was confi ned to the build-ing.

“We told him we could smell it outside,” Brodbeck said.

Fire trucks were dis-patched to fi nd 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 dis-sipating or laying in low ar-eas.

At about 6 am, a ConAgra employee said they could not fi nd the leak.

“We made the decision to start knocking on doors,” Brodbeck said.

ActionFirefi ghters initially found

the ammonia smell extended from Christine Drive on the west to Ditto Street on the east.

Wyse and APD offi cers

began knocking on doors, informing residents of the situation. David Davis, AFD offi -cer and head custodian for the Archbold Area School District, opened a school building as a shelter. David Deskins, district superin-tendent, was contacted, and approved the opening of the building. In the meantime, Brod-beck said Martin Schmidt, Archbold police chief, opened an emergency operations center at the main Archbold Fire Station on West Me-chanic Street. Jim Wyse, village mayor, Dennis Howell, village ad-ministrator, and village de-partment heads were con-tacted in case the situation became worse. The Fulton County Emer-gency Management Agency was also contacted. Todd Grisier, AFD public information offi cer, contact-ed the local radio station. Evacuees were told to listen to the station for an all-clear signal.

Found By this time, ConAgra workers had found the leak and isolated it, so no more ammonia was leaking into the air. The leak was in a faulty valve outside the building, but the ammonia seeped through the wall of the building and set off detec-tors inside. Brodbeck said about the same time the leak was dis-covered, the wind picked up and dispersed the ammonia. How bad was it? Brodbeck said the smell was strong enough that a person’s eyes would water, and it was close to making it diffi cult to breath. Ammonia not only can burn the eyes and lungs, it replaces oxygen in the air, making it impossible to breath. “If a person was inside and their house was closed up, they would have proba-bly been okay. But someone sleeping with their windows open” would have smelled the ammonia. By about 6:35 am, the problem was resolved, and those who had been evacu-ated were allowed to return to their homes. Brodbeck said following the incident, fi re department and other offi cials discussed the leak response.

(Continued from page 5)erty Center fi re departments for help.

On fi re was a 30x48 feet shop building.

The fi re caused a short cir-cuit in a garage door opener, opening the door and allow-ing the fi re more oxygen.

Propane TankBenecke said there were

two other structures, includ-ing a barn 20 feet away from the burning shop.

Between the two buildings was a propane tank.

“We worked on the outside (of the barn), then we sent a Napoleon crew inside to look for damage,” Benecke said. No damage was found. The propane tank was shut off, he said. Benecke said the cause of the fi re is under investiga-tion. Damage is estimated at about $105,000– $60,000 to the building, and $45,000 to contents. “There was a $20,000 mo-torcycle in the shop,” Be-necke said.

Rebounding from a Sept. 2 loss to Bryan, Archbold (2-1) bounced back in fl ying 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 fi rst 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 fi eld goal. Parsley was perfect for the night, scoring a total of 12 points as he connected on two fi eld goals and six extra points. TJ Gerken put AHS up 10-0 on a 5-yard run with 39 sec-onds left in the fi rst 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 sopho-more backup quarterback Evan Wyse took the junior’s place. Wyse played an outstand-ing game, rushing for 129 yards on 16 carries and two touchdowns. “Tyson going down did al-ter 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 Guil-ford connected with Matt To-bin for a 72-yard touchdown toss, closing the gap to 10-6 at the end of the fi rst quar-ter. Danny Young capped off a fi ve-play drive with a 3-yard touchdown run to boost the Streak lead to 17-6 at the four-minute mark of the sec-ond 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 fi ring in the third quarter with Gerken scoring on a 25-yard run, Young on a 16-yard run, and Parsley nailing a 32-yard fi eld goal. It wasn’t just the offense clicking. The Archbold de-fense played a stellar game, holding the Apaches to just 14 points, picking off four in-terceptions, and recovering two fumbles. Fairview’s only score of the second half came in the fourth quarter on a Guil-ford 3-yard pass to Brandon Bostater. Archbold added two more scores in the fourth with Wyse busting loose for 34- and 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 learn-ing, 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 de-fense played fantastic.”

OPINIONS/HISTORY

Citizens of this great area will be impressed with the new and modern little red schoolhouse at Pettisville.

What’s more startling is the gener-osity of the citizens who made it pos-sible. The sincerity of Pettisville citi-zens is astounding. Their interest in children and education is admirable.

The building has many, many excellent features. It is functional, effi cient, 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 natu-ral lighting. You sense the welcome attitude when entering.

Kindergarten rooms occupy two large classrooms, each capable of

housing the entire Pettisville kin-dergarten class. There is space for every activity.

A most striking feature is the sec-ond fl oor, where high school stu-dents will spend much time. Large windows, high above, allow natural light into each classroom. Studies prove students do better in natu-ral light, and the electric bill is re-duced. Such features indicate the many hours of careful planning of the new Pettisville School. There is no com-parison 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.

It will serve the community well, for decades to come.

Pettisville Local Schools students turned in a perfor-mance index score of 107.9, the 22nd highest of more than 600 school districts in Ohio. Members of the Pettis-ville School board discussed the performance index score during their Monday, Sept. 12 meeting. “It is the highest perfor-mance 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 profi -cient levels. The index has a maximum possible score of 120. Switzer told board mem-bers that last year, Pet-tisville 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. Neuen-schwander

Flu season is coming, and it’s time to get your an-nual fl u 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 re-ceive 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 fl u shot clinic from 4:30 to 7 pm for those with diffi culty walking, those over 65, and children with mobility is-sues. Appointments are re-quired for both. There are six community walk-in clinics scheduled. The Archbold clinic is at the Archbold Community Li-brary 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.

TypicalOricko said at this point,

it appears the 2011-12 fl u season will probably be typi-cal. “There are a couple of situ-ations that have cropped up worldwide. There are differ-ent varieties of fl u 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 peo-ple die in the United States each year from seasonal fl u and its complications. While a fl u shot is not a guarantee that someone will not get the fl u, it is still

recommended, especially for those at high risk for fl u complications such as young children, older adults, and those with other health con-ditions. A 2007 study said based on 10 seasons of research showed getting a fl u shot “was associated with signifi -cant reductions in the risk of hospitalizations for pneumo-nia or infl uenza, and the risk of death among community-dwelling elderly persons.”

Best Thing Oricko said getting vacci-nated with a fl u shot “is the single best thing you can do to avoid getting the fl u.” Other tips including eat-ing right, getting plenty of sleep, staying away from ill persons, washing hands frequently, and covering the mouth when coughing and sneezing.

BBQ DAYThursday, Sept. 15

The Pettisville Local School Board approved a one-school-year leave of ab-sence 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 hir-ing Jenn King as a long-term substitute to fi ll in for Mielke. The two moves came after the board held an executive session. The closed-door ses-sion 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 out-side of education that made it impossible for her to con-tinue as a regular driver. The board approved sup-plemental contracts for sev-eral persons. Brian Leppel-meier was approved as the junior varsity girls basket-ball coach. He replaces Lon-nie 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 fi ve 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 offi cials consid-ered eliminating one route, but after looking at the num-bers, saw the move would allow almost no room for growth. Preliminary fi gures show district enrollment is up, and that the route that they had considered eliminat-ing 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 fi nancial matters. The next regular board meeting is Monday, Oct. 10, 7 pm, in the school con-ference room.–D.J. Neuen-schwander

Pettisville EnrollmentUp 30 Students Steve Switzer, Pettisville Local School District super-intendent, said 542 students are enrolled for the 2011-12 school year. That’s based on a prelimi-nary count, conducted on the third day of the school year. Switzer reported there are 259 students in the elemen-tary school and 283 in the high school. The fi gure of 542 is up 30 students, or about 5.9%, from 2010-11, when the dis-trict had 512 students based on the preliminary count.

Pettisville Board Grants Leave For Junior High Teacher

(Continued from fi rst 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 fi rst psalm, the 23rd, the 121st, and a couple more. She was very diligent,” she said.

Rupp remembers J.J. Ry-chener, Pettisville’s fi rst su-perintendent, who taught his-tory.

“He would always (say), ‘Get your pad out, go from one to 10.’ He had 10 ques-tions 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 slip-pery, 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 occa-sion, 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 she-nanigans. 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 fi rst few years, the principal, Stewart Gott-schall, doubled as coach. Later, A.C. Robbins, a Pur-due University graduate, came along. “He was the fi rst guy in basketball to teach the fast break. When they (other teams) came to play Pettis-ville, 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 “Ameri-ca the Beautiful.” “I get tears in my eyes when I sing it, because of where we are today, com-pared to where we were then.”

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 signifi cant positive cash fl ow to the receivership, the receiver will soon be seeking court approval... to begin distribution of funds to the secured creditors ac-cording to priority,” the re-port states. He noted that extreme heat over the summer caused cash fl ow and management problems for the business. “With temperatures mod-erating, more hogs are now able to meet appropriate market weight. “Additional loads of mar-

ket-ready hogs are being shipped weekly. Additional-ly, the receiver has been sell-ing hogs on the open mar-ket,” the court fi ling noted. Kowalski said contracts with Indiana Packers Cor-poration, Delphi, Ind., for the sale of hogs, and The Andersons, Maumee, for the lease of grain storage space, “are being fully implement-ed. 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 eleva-tor and related businesses and property have been re-ceived. “The receiver has reviewed and analyzed the bids, and interviewed certain bidders to clarify their bids. “As soon as the receiver has made his fi nal decision on the bid awards, the re-ceiver will seek the approval of the parties to this law-suit. “If approval is not ob-tained, the receiver will fi le a motion with the court seeking an immediate hear-ing,” the court fi ling states.

“We are working to ad-dress those issues, looking for a way to improve the sound barriers,” Switzer said.

Other problems included poor lighting in the gymna-sium, power doors that are not yet operable, and nu-merous minor defects, such as uneven painting.

ect are still incomplete, in-cluding the atrium that will connect the new building with the portion of the old

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 every-thing about all of the new systems in the new build-ing,” Lane said. “Like op-erating the public address system, the classroom sound and video components, light-ing, setting up key fobs, etc.”

Principals Have Lots To Learn About New School

Lane’s counterpart in the elementary, Jason Waldvo-gel, is looking forward to the opportunities the new build-ing will provide. “I hope the additional

space will allow for more scheduling opportunities,” said Waldvogel.

People, Not Buildings Waldvogel said he will miss the old elementary “be-cause it is where I started my teaching career. “But the students and the people are what really made the good memories, not the building.” Lane said he will miss the unique features of the old building, and how beauti-fully it was maintained on the surface by the custodial staff, “even though it was crumbling beneath the sur-face.”

“I will also miss how pre-vious generations of gradu-ates still felt connected to the old building every time they came back to visit or at-tend an event,” Lane said. Waldvogel said he loved the hellos and goodbyes be-tween students and teachers as they walked the elemen-tary 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 fi rst pe-riod 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 build-ing.” Both principals said they have heard nothing but pos-itive comments about the new building. “A few of the teachers were cheering as they saw their fi nished rooms,” Wald-vogel said. Lane said that community members he has spoken to have been very positive. “I believe they are excited to see the new building com-pleted and are proud that

the community supported the project.”

Warm Feeling Referring to the new build-ing, 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 insti-tutional 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.”

by David PughBuckeye Staff Writer

When Andy Welch, project architect for the new Pettis-ville school, was ready to de-sign 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 repli-cate those in the 1929 build-ing. That, and the use of stone around the windows,” he said. At the same time, Welch and his colleagues at Bueh-rer Group, an architectural and engineering fi rm in Maumee, wanted to pay re-spect to the 1994 addition to the school, which housed the gymnasium, library, study

hall, and computer lab. The addition was a $1.8-million project, with all money coming from private donations. There was no bond issue and accompany-ing property tax levy to fi -nance 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 be-ing built with the help of the Ohio School Facilities Com-mission. 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 offi cial count was complete, the tal-ly was 59% in favor to 41% opposed. The OSFC imposes basic requirements on buildings it funds. There are some as-pects 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 su-perintendent, challenged us to do, was make this unique-ly Pettisville.” One area where they were able to do that was the stage, auditorium, and din-ing area. The OSFC will not pay for an auditorium. That re-quired some careful think-ing and clever design. In front of the stage is an area recessed about four feet. The space is designated as a multipurpose area for

New Pettisville School Pays Homage To 1929 BuildingOSFC requirements. But it also allows more seating in the auditorium. Behind the multipurpose area is folding, theater-style seating. It differs from stan-dard gym-style bleacher seats. Rather than seats which pull out from a wall, the fold-ed seats form a wall between the auditorium and the caf-eteria. Once tables and chairs are cleared from the cafeteria, the “wall” moves backwards, becoming auditorium seat-ing. “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. The Pettisville School

Workers carefully removed the stone masthead from the front entrance of the 1929 Pettisville school building on July 13, 2011, as part of the demolition. The masthead and other stone accents from the old building will be incorporated into the new atrium, which is currently under construction. Andy Welch, project architect for the new school, said the look of the 1929 building provided a number of design cues for the new struc-ture.–photo by David Pugh

How can a red brick school building be green at the same time?

When the green refers to energy-saving environmen-tally-friendly building mate-rials 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 por-tion of funding for the school, emphasizes “green.”

He listed some green as-pects that will be obvious... and not so obvious.

One of the biggest will be the wind turbine, a $1.8-mil-lion project that should be completed in 2011.

Given the right wind con-ditions, 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 construc-tion 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 fi lled with insulating foam, and there’s insulation on the inside and outside of the con-crete block walls as well.

“There’s much more insu-lated space,” he said.

The roof structure has thicker-than-usual insula-tion.

DaylightSome of the most dramatic

applications of green design are the second fl oor class-rooms, where high school students will spend most of their days.

Placed high above the classroom space are large windows that allow daylight to fi ll the room so electric lighting can be reduced.

Welch said studies prove students learn better work-ing in daylight than under artifi cial light, which is known as “day lighting.” Since the high school classrooms run along an east-west corridor, their ori-entation to the sun lends it-self to daylight. But not all classrooms could use the day lighting concept. Classrooms in the fi rst-fl oor elementary section run on a north-south axis, mak-ing day lighting impractical. Geothermal Geothermal energy is used for heating and cooling. A large pond was built on the south side of Co. Rd. D. At the bottom of the pond are coils which pump water

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 re-versed. Heat is taken from the relatively warm water at the bottom of the pond, and transferred into the build-ing. Welch said the new build-ing 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 effi -cient as possible, right down to the light switches. The switches will have “oc-cupancy sensors.” When the switches detect no motion in

School Features Green Elementsa room, they will automati-cally shut off the lights after fi ve minutes.

LEED Welch said everything has to meet LEED, or Leader-ship in Energy and Environ-mental Design, standards.

LEED is a system of cer-tifi cation for green building standards.

It covers many elements right down to volatile organ-ic 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 500-mile radius.

“We’re trying to use ma-terials (from within the ra-dius) as much as possible,” he said.

Building a green build-ing is a big driving force in the Pettisville school project, Welch said.

So, while the color of the building may be red, it's also green, as in environmentally-friendly and energy-saving.

It's also another kind of green; green, as in the money that will be saved on utility bills, thanks to energy-effi -cient design.

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 technol-ogy more– and not having to worry about tripping over cords!” Miller said she won’t miss the noisy fans that were al-ways 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 in-vaded her classroom when the windows were open. She does have some nos-talgia 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 build-ing.

Students Became Teachers Several teachers’ memo-ries of the old school building were extra special, because many were students at Pet-tisville who returned to teach at their alma mater. Rebecca Dorosz, a fi fth-year junior and senior high school English teacher, at-tended Pettisville from kin-dergarten 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 atmo-sphere. “There is a technology lab located between the English classrooms that will be great for working on writing pro-jects and producing the school newspaper.” Because she is often in-volved 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 Pettis-ville. It seems uniquely Pet-tisville.” Jim Hoops, a 1980 Pettis-ville 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 re-called 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 in-volved in the planning for the new building, not going on the tours of other new schools. One thing he looked for-ward 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 condi-tioning instead. When he was asked how the new school would change his job, he smiled. “Not much, really. There will be some new technol-ogy to use, and that will be nice. But students can learn in any building, or even out-side.”

47 Years At Pettisville The teacher with prob-ably the most memories is Charles Nafziger, a Pettis-ville teacher for 34 years. He was also a Pettisville student from kindergarten through high school. Nafziger was in the fi rst kindergarten class in the new elementary wing when it was opened in1956. Looking back at his teach-ing career, Nafziger, who teaches math, looked at the numbers. “I’ve gone to the same room for the past 34 years,” he said. “Over that time I’ve had over 1,600 students in my classroom, many of them for three years or more, and I also worked with over 200 students in an athletic set-ting.” “I have many good memo-ries. “As a student, I remember in Miss Wyse’s class one day all the students were in the room ready for class, and somehow the door knob came off. Miss Wyse could not get in the room.” Some of his favorite mem-ories revolve around the ju-nior-senior prom. “The gym was decorated every year. I remember see-ing students in a different setting than a regular school day. It brings back many good memories,” Nafziger said. What does he look forward to most in the new building? “Air conditioning,” he said. One thing about the new

building that is a big change for him are the interactive computer display boards, or ‘smart boards,’ that replace the chalkboards that he used daily to explain math prob-lems.

Move To Full Time Two teachers at Pettisville face more changes. The kindergarten teach-ers, who have shared a class-room and taught half-days for many years, began teach-ing all-day kindergarten this fall. Lisa Aeschliman has taught kindergarten at Pet-tisville the past 22 years. Lynne Hoffmire has taught the other section for 12. The two not only shared a classroom, they share the same parents. Aeschliman and Hoffmire are sisters, the daughters of Gene and Mar-lene Graf. Both looked forward to the new building and a new teaching schedule, although it meant a lot of work to get the classroom ready, and adapt and change lesson plans to the all-day sched-ule. “We say the only thing we have right now is experi-ence,” Aeschliman said. “We’ve already talked over a lot of things,” Hoffmire said. “We plan to team-teach some of the time, and divide the students up at times for different activities. They will all get to know each other, which will be great.” While the two are excited about the new building, there are some things they will miss about the old school and their former half-day ar-

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 stu-dent, it was way above their heads, and they loved it.”

Beautiful Building “The old building was com-

fortable, and it was a goodplace to teach,” Aeschlimansaid. “But wow, the new build-ing is beautiful. “They did a great job plan-ning it, with real attentionto detail,” Aeschliman said. “It is going to be nice,”Hoffmire agreed. “I was im-pressed with the building,with things like the beauti-ful woodwork.” “But I will miss sharing aclassroom with my sister,”Hoffmire said. “Not too many teachersget to do that. “But how many times doesa teacher get to start teach-ing 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.

When the new Pettisville school building opened, there were more people affected than just teachers and stu-dents. Brenda Aeschliman, head cook for the district, was looking forward to seeing the new kitchen where the cafe-teria staff will prepare meals for hundreds of students ev-ery day. “We helped in the plan-ning, but I am anxious to see the real thing,” she said. “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.” The kitchen in the new school contains a steamer, warmers that are separate from the ovens, and equip-ment 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. “I am at least the fi fth gen-eration in my family to at-tend the school,” she said. “I went to Pettisville, as did my mom and grandmoth-er. I didn’t realize it when I took this job, but my grand-mother, Viola Sauder, was also a cook at Pettisville.” Aeschliman said that while she may miss the retro feel of the old kitchen, the new de-sign will allow more room for working, and will defi nitely improve the serving lines.

Old Gym As a former student, Aesch-liman fondly recalls the bas-ketball games in the old gym-nasium, which later became the junior high gym. “I was a student in the 1970s, and we had some great basketball teams, in-cluding the one that was state runner-up. I remember the enthusiasm, the crowd roaring, and the way the sound echoed,” she said. Aeschliman said that she thinks people will be pleased

peratures in the classrooms. Burkholder will not miss the constant problems in the old building’s plumbing system, which would often

by the appearance of the new building. She toured it in May, and was surprised by the “warm, inviting look” even when it was not fi nished and there was no furniture.

Temperature Control Ron Burkholder, head cus-todian, also is a Pettisville alumnus, as were his par-ents and his children. “The best thing for me will be the ability to control the temperature in the new school,” Burk-holder said. “In the old building, the rooms would sometimes get up around 100 degrees in the summer, and sometimes you couldn’t get them warm in the winter.” He said there are comput-erized controls for the heat and air conditioning system, which should make it easier to maintain the ideal tem-

break fi rst in one spot, andthen when that was repairedwould break in a new loca-tion. “I know there will be prob-lems in the new building,and I will have a lot to learnabout how to fi x things,”Burkholder said. “I’m in the learning stageright now.” While the building is sup-posed to be a low-mainte-nance facility, Burkholdersaid it will take time to learnhow to best keep the newbuilding clean and every-thing operating smoothly. “In the old building, I knewall the problems, and how tofi x them,” he said. “Now I have a lot of newsystems to learn, and I willprobably have to make a lot of phone calls when some-thing goes wrong. “I think people will beshocked by how nice thebuilding looks, especially thenew gym,” he said. “They will be shocked bythe size, and by the fl oorsthat have lines that arestained rather than paint-ed. It is very unusual to seethat. “I think people will bepleased and impressed withthe new school.

Foundation raised money to pay for the structure, but was short of the fi nal cost. An arrangement was reached, whereby the foun-dation borrowed $135,000 to make up the difference be-tween 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 Foundation’s loan. Welch described the atrium as a two-story open structure, with a second-level walkway connecting the second fl oor of the new school with the 1994 building. The second-fl oor walkway will open into the study hall. The plan is for the atrium to become the after-hours en-trance for sports, plays, con-certs, and other events. Again taking cues from the 1929 building, Welch said the atrium entrance “will pretty much be a replica of the 1929 main entrance.” In addition, the stone masthead with the words “Pettisville School,” which was mounted above the 1929 front door, were salvaged, and will be included in the new atrium. “Dr. Switzer is very big on keeping the past alive,” 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 “a really ex-citing project. “I live in Delta, and I had friends who went to Pettis-ville. I’m looking forward to the fi rst basketball game in the new gym.”

Pettisville, Ohio

When the new Pettisville school building opened on Wednesday, Sept. 7, it was the third time a new school opened in the unincorporat-ed community. Records show the fi rst 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 fi rst fl oor and 5-8 on the second. School records list 119 students enrolled at Pet-tisville in 1897, the earliest year for which records are available. Students who wanted to continue an education be-yond eighth grade went to Wauseon or Archbold high schools.

1927 Consolidation Plan In 1927, word came from the county board of educa-tion that there were plans to divide Pettisville stu-dents between Archbold and Wauseon. The Pettisville school would be closed. Pettisville residents voiced opposition to the plan. New borders were pro-posed for a Pettisville School District in 1928, and after the county board of educa-tion 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 fi rst opened, though, it was quite differ-ent from the building with which recent students were familiar, most of which was demolished this summer. The building underwent several renovations and ad-ditions over the course of its 82 years. The fi rst was a large ad-dition built in 1951 that in-cluded 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 offi ce space, and other non-classroom uses. One more project was un-dertaken in 1960, when Pet-tisville added an industrial arts room and science class-

rooms, and enlarged the caf-eteria. The fi nal 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 dona-tions.

OSFC Funding In late July 2011, two-thirds of the Pettisville school was demolished, hav-ing been replaced by the new K-12 building that was constructed under the Ohio School Facilities Commis-sion program. The state program provid-ed 82% of the more than $20 million cost, with local tax funds covering the remain-der. 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 fea-ture 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 in-scribed with names or mes-sages of donors who con-tributed to the cost of the atrium. The latest new school will mark another new chapter in the history of Pettisville School District. The history shows strong community support for a dis-trict that is near the bottom of the list in district size, but which has been provid-ing an excellent education for Pettisville students for over 140 years.–D.J. Neuen-schwander
