Luckey residents stonewalled by administration
LUCKEY, Ohio — Frustrated Luckey residents received little new information about the village’s plan to acquire a quarry for public water or why the village has filed criminal charges against residents for failure to pay taxes without first contacting them. “This is not a question-and-answer session, but everyone here on council is here to listen to your comments,” Mayor Cory Panning said in an address to residents during Wednesday’s council meeting. Neither the mayor nor council members addressed the recent tax charges during the meeting. Councilmen present were Michael Franklin, Richard Heilman, Donald Brickner, Patricia Covarrubias, and Mike McNulty. Councilman Lisa Skriba was absent.

'I like helping people': Loar named Perrysburg police officer of the year
It’s often said that first responders are the ones who run to an emergency, not away. That’s somewhat of the scenario as to why Perrysburg Police Officer Stephen Loar knew he was meant to be in law enforcement. A few years ago, he and his wife, Abby, were driving in Bowling Green and the vehicle in front of them crashed because the driver had suffered an apparent medical issue, Officer Loar said. He and Abby, who is a nurse, immediately went to assist the man. Then, Officer Loar looked up and saw two Bowling Green police officers rounding the corner to help.
Basil excels when sticking to pizzas
Basil Pizza & Wine Bar at Levis Commons presents a menu of uniquely curated specialty pizzas along with a number of other Italian-inspired pasta, seafood, and other upscale dishes. The servers accommodated the gluten-free needs of one of my dining companions, and the menu also extends several vegan options. We started off our meal with the sweet-and-savory goat cheese al forno ($13), which was a delightful, bubbling blend of cheese with caramelized onions and balsamic glaze, served with naan bread and jam. We got a second plate of gluten-free bread for an additional $2, which was crispier than the naan, but we agreed it tasted great — a feat when it comes to gluten-free breads. We selected two pizzas to compare the different crusts: the regular was light and fluffy while the gluten-free was so crisp that it was difficult to cut and hurt our jaws to chew. If it was a dinner roll, my friend said she would’ve been pleased. But because it was for pizza, she ranked this lower than she wanted to on her list of quality gluten-free crusts.
