Capital Campaign Going Strong! Building Improvement Committee looking to move forward Dear Alumni and Friends of SJCC, The initial phase of our capital campaign has been VERY SUCCESSFUL! A total of over $2 million in cash and pledges has been received as of Nov. 30. The donor-allocated amounts are provided below. These totals have been achieved through the generosity of 125 individuals and businesses. While the campaign has been proceeding, the building improvement committee has been identifying what must be done to bring our SJCC facility up to 21st century standards. They have determined our most urgent needs to be the removal of asbestos and replacement of the heating system and windows.
Estimates for these three items are: ASBESTOS REMOVAL HEATING SYSTEM NEW WINDOWS TOTAL
$ 34,000 $ 990,000 $ 300,000 $1,324,000
The Diocese will allow us to proceed with the building improvements when we have covered the total cost with cash and pledges designated for the building. At least 50% in cash must be collected before the contracts for the work are signed, and the remaining balance must be pledged over a period not to exceed five years. As of November, 30, 2004, the funds raised for the building are approximately $115,000 in cash and $645,000 in pledges for a total of $760,000. (This includes 1/3 of undesignated funds) We would like to proceed with this work in the summer of 2005. As you can see,
we will need an additional $547,000 in cash and $17,000 in pledges to reach this goal. I know this is a lot of money, but if you consider the amount raised from 125 contributors, $564,000 does not sound like too much to raise from over 5,000 alumni and 2,000 friends. If we all contribute to the best of our ability, I’m sure we will be under construction next summer. We have quality students receiving a quality education from a quality staff. Let’s provide them with a quality building! Please fill out the enclosed pledge envelope you will find in this edition of The Voice and mail it in TODAY.
Sincerely, Bob Moyer (‘46)

SJCC VOICES
From the Principal Greetings, Recently we celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday and I had time to reflect on how lucky SJCC is. The generosity of all of you is truly appreciated. It seems like every time a project needs to be done, somebody steps up and makes sure it is completed. As you read through The Voice, you will see many examples of this happening. From the
bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of you for your kindness and your prayers. A special congratulations to our Heritage Award winners. I just recently got to meet Ron Borer, and I am amazed at his commitment to help others. I have worked with Connie Coleman for years and her dedication to SJCC is second to no one. The third inductee, my fa-
ther, has truly been a role model and an inspiration to me. In closing, I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. We will continue to pray for you and your families, and may God bless each and everyone of you in the year ahead. Go Streaks!!! Mike Gabel

2005 Heritage Award Recipients Announced By MARCUS LEHMANN
Dr. Ronald Borer, Connie Coleman, and Norman Gabel were recently announced as the 2005 Heritage Award winners. The Heritage Award is given to SJCC supporters who have demonstrated the spirit and mission of SJCC and who are stalwart members of the community in which they live. “The ethic that St. Joe’s instilled in me, carried out in my entire life whether it be in school, dentistry or with the community,” said Dr. Borer (‘54). Borer has been active in professional organizations and performed community service throughout his lifetime. To name a few, he was a board member of the Xavier University Athletic Club in Cincinnati, president of the Xavier University San Francisco Alumni Chapter for 23 years, board member of the Pacific Dental Education Foundation, and has been on countless committees for dentistry research. He was also awarded the Clinical Faculty Award, out of 180 faculty members, at the University of Pacific School of Dentistry. “I am really happy and proud to receive the Heritage Award. I am very grateful,” Borer said. Another recipient of this award is Connie Coleman ( Foos ‘61). “Receiving the Heritage Award is a total surprise and shock to me, but I am
very honored and grateful to accept it. It is nice to know that the things you do are appreciated,” said Coleman. Coleman has been associated with SJCC for the majority of her life as an auxiliary services program clerk. She has also assisted the Office of Athletics and the Catholic Schools Dinner Auction. She has made countless banners and locker decorations for all SJCC student athletes and has assisted office personnel with fund raisers and filling in where needed. She was a cheerleading advisor, is currently the matmaid advisor, and is the wrestling tournament director. Coleman was a Campfire leader for 20 years, Cub Scout leader for 10 years, a member of the Mother’s Club Child Conservation League and held offices of president, vice-president, secretary, and program chairman, and an active St. Joseph parishioner as both festival worker and homeroom mom. After raising their five children, Connie and her husband Dan, raised their two oldest grandsons after the sudden death of her daughter, Melissa. “I am totally indebted to my SJCC Family who have truly been there for me in all the ups and downs in life. I would not still be working at SJCC if it was
not for them. It is a joy and a blessing to be a part of it all,” said Coleman. The third recipient of the 2005 Heritage Award is Norman Gabel (‘48). Gabel has made the SJCC community, and the Catholic tradition, a family affair. His four children and seven of his grandchildren have attended or are currently enrolled at SJCC or St. Joseph Elementary. Gabel volunteers in the SJCC cafeteria, helps with the mailing of The Voice, and is an active member of the Booster Club. Additionally, Gabel is in the Knights of Columbus Fourth Degree, delivers Memorial Hospital mobile meals, visits the sick, a member of the advisory board at St. Francis Rehab Hospital for 20 years, served on the St. Joseph Parish Council, and has worked in the Soup Kitchen. “I’ve always been proud to be a part of SJCC, and I want to do as much as I can to help and give back. SJCC gave me so much, I just want to give something in return,” said Gabel. All three recipients will be honored at the Heritage Award banquet on February 20, 2005. All are welcome!

Chapel Dedication honoring Rev. Earl A. Loeffler
A special blessing on the chapel steps, by Fr. Ron Brickner, school chaplain
On November 21, 2004 the entire student body, faculty and staff shared in the dedication of the SJCC school chapel in honor of Rev. Earl Loeffler for his service to St. Joseph Central Catholic and the Fremont community. Prior to the blessing, Fr. Earl spoke to the students in an assembly in the Margo Reilly Athletic Performing Arts Center about the importance of Catholic education in his life. Fr. Earl was a teacher and principal at St. Joseph High School from 1951-1967. Even though he is retired, he has given countless hours of service to the first-ever Capital Campaign at SJCC, and serves as the Honorary Chair.

PAGE 6 From Development Director Kathy (Reineck) Boukissen A very special friend gave me the book titled, The Purpose Driven Life. In it is a verse that represents to me what so many of you are about: “God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other, passing on to others God’s many kinds of blessings.” 1 Peter 4:10 (LB) It can be overwhelming to me how many people care about St. Joseph Central Catholic’s students, faculty and staff. There isn’t a day that goes by that many of you reach out and are willing to help in so many ways. I would personally like to thank each of you who have taken the time to stop in and say hi, send an email or note, or make a phone call to say “tell me more about the school, and how can I help.” You are all true examples of passing on the blessings God has given you.....THANK YOU! We have been very fortunate this year to have outside leadership as we move forward to become a stronger institution. Tim Paradiso (‘77) has been an enthusiastic presence as our Capital Campaign Chair. His energy and motivation to move our school forward to be the best we can be is exciting. He is one example of people taking the time to volunteer because of their genuine belief in SJCC. Enjoy the holidays with your loved ones, and I hope God blesses each of you with a wonderful New Year.

GUEST COLUMN
Couple enjoys traveling and teaching internationally Sandra (Brunner, ‘61) Norbert Widman (‘59) email: norbsandy@msn.com
travel to places that we would otherwise likely never see. There are down sides, of course. We miss the convenience and comforts of being in America. We also miss seeing our family and relatives and friends except during our annual summer visits home. But the trade-offs we have chosen to make are probably no more significant than those that most people have to make throughout their lives. We entered this field after our own three children were grown, and we were freer to try something totally different from what we had done before. For our 25th wedding anniversary, we traveled to Europe for the first time, and this whetted our appetite for more travel. This vocation has satisfied our desire for travel and for new experiences. While we may not consciously think about it often, we know that there are connections between our own high school experiences and what we are doing now. Like most people, our personalities and characters have been influenced by the significant adults we encountered in our formative years. We recall Bertha Sneider opening our minds to the possibility of community service through her civics class and her service as a Fremont city councilwoman. Her husband, Walter, impressed us with his enthusiasm for knowledge, his sense of humor, and his wise, fatherly advice. It is these kinds of personal connections with the teachers and the coaches that we think of as we ruminate about our high school days. Their words and examples taught us more than we, at that time, realized. Adolescents cannot know where they will
We were invited to write about our work as international teachers and comment about how our education at SJCC has impacted our lives and our work. What do international teachers do? In many ways our jobs as teachers are similar to those of teachers in any American school, except we usually have smaller classes and fewer discipline problems. We follow a mostly American curriculum, English is the language of the school, and we have many things that one typically finds in any stateside school: science fairs, school plays, field trips, sports teams, parent conferences, fire drills, etc. Since 1995, we have taught elementary age children in Romania, Tunisia, South Korea, and currently Indonesia. We have had some American children as students in each location, but the majority have been students from other nations, from every continent. The parents of these children may work for their nation’s embassy or for multinational corporations, they may be missionaries, hotel managers, business consultants, academics, or entrepreneurs. With English being the dominant language worldwide, these families have elected to have their children educated in English, as their work takes them from one country to another. Our work has been extremely satisfying to us professionally because, as noted earlier, we teach smaller classes and encounter virtually no serious behavior problems. The children are usually highly motivated, and their parents are supportive and appreciative. We have endless opportunities to Norb and his combination 4th and 5th grade class learn about other cultures and to
travel, what they will do, and what things they will need to “pack” for their life journey. One of the pleasures we have experienced on our journey is “unpacking the bag” and discovering things that were placed there, not by ourselves but by others. We take them out and with fond memories of those who placed them there so long before, pass them along to others.

Fall Sports Wrap-up By Melissa Hoelzle and Greg Kohler
Tennis team wraps up best season The SJCC lady’s tennis team finally found their perfect fit. Coach Whitney Muchler was the girl’s fourth coach in four years, and apparently, she is just what they needed. The team finished with the best season in SJCC history: an almost perfect 12-2 record, their only losses being to Sandusky High who they played twice. The ladies boast a first place finish at the NWOCSA tournament, wins over Calvert and Fremont Ross and great play in the sectional tournament with most girls making it to the second or third rounds. In addition, the duo of first singles, Melissa Hoelzle, and second singles, Allyson Wobser, finished third in the Sectional tournament and competed in the District tournament. Senior co-captain, Katie Miller, said about the about the season, “The girls stepped up and kicked butt. We came out strong and we maintained out intensity the whole season”. The team has a positive outlook on next year. They plan to work in the off season to improve on their game and work to make next season as successful as the last.
Golf Team Wows the Crowd The golf team 11-3 in matches this season and won their fourth consecutive MAL title with a 318, 21 strokes ahead of their nearest competitor. Despite the complete silence on the links, the SJCC student body came out to support their class mates in their quest for a fourth straight win, and the team delivered in prime fashion. Will Woodruff, Cory Swaisgood and Kevin Rusch finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the league with scores of 73, 78 and 82. Eric Kirwen
earned 2nd-Team All MAL honors with an 85. The team faltered at Sectionals, shooting 336 and finishing three strokes shy of another trip to the district tournament, ending a streak of seven straight district appearances. Woodruff carded a 77 to qualify as an individual. At BGSU’s Forrest Creason Golf Course, Woodruff fired a 76 and missed qualifying for the State Championships by three strokes. The Streaks return 10 of their 12 players next year, and had a strong JV team finishing 6-3.
Football relies on youth The SJCC football team finished with a 3-7 record (3-4 MAL), with victories over Calvert, Saint Wendelin, and North Baltimore. Despite their 3-4 record in the league, the Streaks were only a few bad breaks away from a 5-2 record. They suffered a tough three-point loss at Seneca East despite a well-fought game, and dropped the homecoming game to perennial powerhouse Carey 20-14 in overtime. The Streaks started nine sophomores this season, and Coach Rick Wonderly is excited about the future of the program. Earning First Team All-MAL honors for SJCC were Derek Williamson and Kyle Mayle. Zach Stine, Luke Lewis and Robbie Roth were named to the 2nd Team. Alex Estrada and Jake Wasserman earned Honorable Mention status.
Soccer improves through season The SJCC soccer team finished 1-15-1 this season, with the lone win coming against Margaretta. Coach Phil Collison saw great improvement as the season went on. Genoa beat the Streaks

11-0 in the regular season, but three weeks later, the Streaks only lost 3-0 to the Comets in the sectional tournament. The team will have it’s work cut out for them next season, as over half the roster is composed of seniors.
Volleyball finishes 4th in MAL The Lady Steaks ended 15-6 (7-3 MAL) under first-year coach Jackie Swaisgood. The season was highlighted by a huge come-from-behind win over Seneca East. This year, OHSAA went to the five-game, rallyscoring system. The Streaks lost the first to games to the Tigers, but won the next three to pull out a thrilling victory. They beat Bettsville in the tournament, but lost to Hopewell Loudon in the sectional champioship. Becky Babione was named 1st Team All MAL and All-District. Mandy Hensley was named 2nd team MAL and Allison Golamb earned Honorable Mention.
Cross Country adds many new runners This year 30 SJCC students participated in cross country. The boys finished 5th in the MAL, and the girls finished 7th. Sarah Stierwalt was the only runner to advance to regionals, but Coach Jamie Gilbert was excited because Stierwalt is only a sophomore. “Sarah did a great job with her running this year. She takes the lead and does her very best to be successful,” said Gilbert. The teams had their best finishes at the NWOCSA race. The boys were 2nd and the girls were 3rd. Gilbert said the new runners learned a lot about what it takes to be a good cross country runner, and believes they will work hard to improve next year.

Winter Sports Preview By MELISSA HOELZLE, BRIGID REILLY and Greg Kohler
Girls want return to Sweet 16 Basketball season has begun and both coaches and players are anticipating good seasons. The head girls coach, Gary Geller, said that last year the coaching staff felt good about going to practice because everyone worked hard, and he hopes it goes as well this year. “First of all this is probably the most experience we’ve had coming back, and we’re looking forward to doing great things. However, I don’t think we need to set any lofty goals,” said Geller. “We’re just going to play one game at a time,” Geller added. The team is currently 4-0 with big wins over Clyde, 70-52, and Mansfield St. Pete, 64-58. Against St. Pete, Becky Babione (23 points, 13 rebounds), Katy Hasselbach ( 19 pts, 10 rebs) and Britt Luc (10 pts, 10 rebs) all recorded “double-doubles” to lead the team to victory. The Lady Streaks have also defeated North Baltimore and Mohawk to go 2-0 in the MAL.
Boys’ basketball looks ahead to positive season With only one returning letterman, the boys’ basketball team has a lot of new talent this year. “I’m looking forward to working with a great group of young men,” said Coach Mike Gabel. The Streaks will rely heavily on the inside presence of 6’5” David Rice and the outside shooting of Brad Gabel, Kevin Wammes and Derek Sponseller. In their opener against St. Pete, the Streaks jumped out to an early 13-6 lead, but Rice landed awkwardly on a rebound and hurt his knee and didn’t return.
The Streaks struggled in the post, but some younger players gained valuable experience as St. Pete downed SJCC 60-56 despite a fervent comeback attempt. Wammes led the way with 15 points and Gabel pitched in with 13. In the MAL opener against North Baltimore, Rice returned to score 22 points in a 53-50 victory. Gabel added 9 points, and Wammes 8.
ried. We’re all ready to step up and play the role,” said Foos. “It’s going to be a good season.” The teamed opened the season with a 3rd place finish (out of 14 teams) at the Northwood Invitational. Alex Estrada, Ramiro Arreola, A.J. Coleman and Curtis Ochs all captured championships, while Jeremy Foos placed second and Matt Franks took third place.
Swimmers prepare to make waves Bowling gets the ball rolling The SJCC varsity bowling team is getting ready to begin its new season with a bright outlook. “I’m excited to see how we’re going to do this year and get the ball rolling,” said sophomore Justine Rhoad. The bowling program has not been around SJCC for very long, but it has already become popular. Along with this popularity, the program has proven to be solid-both the varsity teams can boast impressive stats. Both the boys and girls teams have worked incredibly hard in the hopes of having yet another good season. The teams opened play the first week of December and have 19 scheduled events.
Being somewhere at 6:00 a.m. is daunting enough let alone being expected to swim laps in the pool with your teammates. But that’s just what the swim team will be doing most mornings during their third season this winter. One big change from last year is the formation of a Division II for swim teams in Ohio. The SJCC team feels that they will be more competitive in the tournament against schools closer in size. Senior Kevin Celek hopes that this upcoming season will be as good or better than the last and says he thinks the team will do well. Their first meet is December 14 against Port Clinton and Sandusky St. Mary’s, and they have five meets on the schedule.

Attention Members of the 1962, 1963, and 1964 Football Teams
The SJCC varsity wrestling team is working on getting ready for another tough year ahead. With extremely high hopes and expectations for this team, even a season that would be considered good by most standards may be considered disappointing. This is nothing new to a team that has consistently had stand-out wrestlers who have a work ethic to go along with their ‘nothing but the best’ attitude. “We lost a lot of seniors and they were good leaders but we aren’t wor-
