Sassy • Spirited • Successful
Co-editors Jennifer Ruple and Mary Helen Darah
A father is neither an anchor to hold us back nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.--Unknown This month our roving rocker, Robert Alexander, makes it to Woodstock ... 48 years too late (pg. 6). Find out the big winner of the We Love Sylvania Area Small Businesses campaign (pg. 3). Get fired up! It’s time to get the grill out and serve dad or the man in your life something special. Liz Donaldson shares her culinary creations that will keep you out of the kitchen (pg. 4). Got wine? Hit the road and discover a local treasure in Marblehead, Ohio (pg. 8). Our book lover and local librarian, Sue Schafer, suggests a few great thriller and suspense novels for your reading pleasure (pg. 15). Make certain you check out our former ‘cover girl,’ Pam Weirauch, as we help Pam’s Corner celebrate 15 years of serving food, along with a heaping side of laughter, at her local eatery. She may be hard to find but impossible to forget (pg. 14). Enjoy the fresh air, the extended daylight and the nurturing men in your life. As always, thank you for reading.
