Sylvania library construction nears completion Renovation construction is nearing completion on the Sylvania branch library on the corner of Monroe Street and Silica Drive, with an expected re-opening in September, 2018.

A newly configured parking lot and entrance have been designed for customer convenience and a safer, easier entrance and exit to the highly traveled Monroe Street. While some of the building exterior is new, great care has been taken to ensure that the renovated structure complements its surroundings and maintains the architectural integrity of the historic downtown.

“The original building was constructed in 1957 and updated in 1989. It was time to make these improvements,” noted Charlie Oswanski, the Library’s director of facilities.

A wall of donor bricks that used to be embedded in the pavement will now greet customers as they approach the new entrance, providing a memorable landscape piece that is easily readable. The Library’s original entrance arches have been preserved and are part of an interior wall designating the new children’s area that adjoins the entryway.

While just 3,700 square feet of space has been added on the east and west sides of the original building, the interior appears much larger than its 22,000-square-foot footprint suggests.

Oswanski credits the open design and the preponderance of windows providing natural light to the feeling of spaciousness. “In addition, the roofline of the interior portion of the building has been raised, which also contributes to the overall spaciousness of the facility,” he said.

“We listened to what community members told us at several public information sessions before we began the renovations,” Oswanski stated. “And several changes were made to the original plans based on that public input. We

Library personnel Charlie Oswanski and Ben Malczewski look over the new entrance. enlarged the public meeting rooms and added more for a total of five. Videos of local people and places will be showcased on a large screen bringing different faces of the community inside the Library. An extensive technology area has been established and quiet study areas have been designated.

Oswanski added, “We will even have a station for the public to apply for passports. We have made good use of space.”

Rather than taking up floor space, all of the mechanicals have been moved to the roof. Staff areas are in the interior of the building so customers will have full access to the arched windows surrounding the building.

Highlighting the west end of the building is a cozy fireplace embedded in the wall of windows overlooking Northview High School and the kaleidoscope of color and activity created by traffic traveling on the adjacent Monroe Street.

“The Spieker Co. has served as our general contractor for this project and is doing an outstanding job, as has our architectural team from Stough and Stough Architects,” Oswanski said. Bostwick Design Partnership of Cleveland is the design architect.

The ‘Caregiver’ overpayment scam

BY DICK EPPSTEIN A popular trick that cheats many consumers is the “overpayment scam.” You receive a check for payment, but it is more than agreed and you are told to cash the check and send some of the money elsewhere. You innocently follow their directions, and later discover that the check was counterfeit and you must repay the bank!

BBB has seen many examples of this racket.

One Toledo lady ran an ad to sell her wedding dress on Craig’s List for $350. A very nice woman in Washington D.C. responded, claimed to love the dress and agreed to buy it.

But somehow “by mistake” she sent a check for $2,350, much more than asked. The Toledo lady asked “why the overpayment” and was told that it was all a big mix-up; that the $2,000 was supposed to cover a moving company payment. She was told to deposit the check in the bank, then the next day send the $ 2,000 overpayment back to Washington. She did as asked, and was shocked when the bank explained that the check was a fake and she

needed to pay them back.

Most recently, a classified ad was published in many local newspapers offering a job as a “caregiver.” It was supposed to be to take care of an Alzheimer’s patient and paid $20 per hour with no experience necessary. But responders to the ad were sent a check as payment “in advance.” The catch? Deposit the check, then send hundreds of dollars to another address. It was clearly a scam; nobody pays hundreds of dollars in advance to an employee without even knowing the “caregiver,” and cashing the check and sending money elsewhere is a sure “red flag” of an overpayment scam.

Businesses are also victims of this fraud. An unknown customer sends overpayment for a purchase, and the company innocently “refunds” the difference. Sometimes they even ship the merchandise before they discover the scam, and lose both money and their merchandise. I should mention that most businesses are aware of the scheme and don’t ship until the check clears the bank.

If you see an ad for a job that appears “too good to be true,” with high wages, flexible hours and no experience necessary, don’t be fooled. If they hire you immediately and send you a big “advance” on your wages – asking you to refund some of the payment – you know it is a scam. No legitimate company behaves that way.

5861 Main Street

Sylvania–Then and Now

BY GAYLEEN GINDY LOOKING BACK

As we continue north on Main Street, from my previous articles you may remember that Albert Carl subdivided the entire west side of Main Street, north of Erie Street, back in 1901, with the rear of his lots backing up to the railroad tracks. This article will discuss the property at 5861 Main St. County real estate records show the current home on this property was built in 1897, four years before Albert Carl set up his subdivision. So that means the home was already on the property when Carl’s plat was approved in 1901. The Albert Carl family may have occupied this home, since he continued to own two lots for many years after he subdivided this acreage.

The 1900 census indicates that Albert Carl was living here with his second wife, two children and a boarder: • Albert Carl – born 1850 – 49 years old – married eight years – employed as a blacksmith – owned home with mortgage.

• Lillian M. Carl – wife – born in 1870 – 30 years old – married eight years – one child born, one child still living.

• Fern M. Carl – daughter – born November 1891 – 8 years old attending school.

• Claude Carl – son – born March 1881 – 19 years old – single – day laborer.

• James Young – boarder – born 1874 – 26 years old - single – day laborer.

By the 1910 census, Albert and Lillian Carl are found living in Royalton Township, Fulton County, Ohio, with daughter Fern, who was 18 years old. Albert was now

employed as a farmer. He still owned the home on Main Street as well as the home to the north. He was renting our subject home to Charley Gates, 48 years old, and Sarah Gates, 44 years old, and their family. Gates was employed as a proprietor of a saloon. His two sons, Jim, 22 years old, and Dallas, 18 years old, were living here also and listed as bar tenders at the saloon. Also living here was their married daughter, Stella Barger, 26 years old, married for nine years.

In 1920 Albert Carl was still renting the house and now Glenn Green, 34 years, his wife Charlotte E Green, 30 years old, and their four daughters: Velma, 9 years; Helen, 8 years; Irene, 6 years; Wanda, 4 years, were listed living here. Glenn Green was employed as a barber in a barber shop.

In 1920 the home was sold to Lester and Augusta Leonard and they owned the home until 1927. Charles and Laura Gies, who owned and lived in the home to the south, purchased this house in 1927. The home appears to have been rented out while the Leonards and the Gies family owned the home.

By 1926, a village of Sylvania address directory shows Fred Root renting the home, and by the 1930 census, George F. Lather, 45 years, employed as a repairman for the electric railroad, and his wife Sophia F. Lather, 39 years, listed as employed as a laundress out of her home, were living here. Their children living in the home were: Hazel, 19; Grace, 17; Ralph, 16; Walter, 13; Mildred, 10; Richard, 8; and Robert, 3.

On Dec. 27, 1928, C.H. Gies of 5849 Main St. obtained a building permit to build a new 12-foot by 18-foot garage at 5861 Main St.

E.C. McConnell signed the permit for Gies.

The Sylvania Sentinel dated March 19, 1931 featured a wanted ad that read: “WANTED-Washings, either wet wash or rough dry. Will call for and deliver, 5861 N. Main St.” A 1933 village of Sylvania water meter customer list also shows Charles Gies as the homeowner and C.J. Holt was the tenant.

In January of 1940, Charles and Clara Bourbina purchased this home from Gies.

The 1940 census listed Charles Bourbina, 42 years, employed as a dismantler of abandoned railway and old buildings, and his wife Clara, 33 years, as living here. They are listed as owning the home valued at $3,000.

In March of 1941, the home transferred into just Clara Bourbina’s name and she continued to own the home for another 60 years; re-marrying somewhere along the way to an O’Neill.

The first Polk Suburban Directory that listed this address was in 1958 when it listed Evelyn Armstrong as renting the home. These directories continued to list her renting the home each year through the 1967 directory.

The 1968 directory listed this address as vacant. The 1969 and 1970 directories listed Brad Kindle renting the house. Then the 1971 and 1972 directories show James F. Zaenger renting the house. The 1973 directory shows Henry H. Cawood renting, and then the 1974 and 1975 show James L. Allen renting. From 1976 through 1984 Thomas Nichols is listed

as renting the house.

In 1980, Angel Builders obtained a building permit for the owner to construct a 20-foot by 22-foot garage at the rear, and south of the house. In 1982 Clara (Bourbina) O’Neill of 5861 Main St. obtained a building permit for an 8-foot by 14-foot addition to the home.

As of the 1985 directory, Nace O’Neill was living here, and then as of the 1994 directory, it shows Nace and Clara M. O’Neill living here. As of the 1996 directory, Clara M. O’Neill is listed as living here through the 2001 directory.

In 2001 Clara M. (Bourbina) O’Neill transferred the home to Karen A. Noe, Successor, Trustee, and she sold the home to Patti J. Fisher in 2001, who still owns this home today.

Clara M. Condol-Bourbina-O’Neill died in 2002 at the age of 95, while at the Heatherdowns Rehabilitation and Residential Care Center. Her obituary notice said that she was a beautician, and operated Clara’s Shop until retiring in 1984. Her obituary notice said that she had lived in Sylvania.

As of the 2002 Suburban directory, Patti J. Fisher was listed as the occupant and owner and living there also was Rachael L. Fisher. In the 2005 directory it was Patti J. Fisher occupying and owning the home, and Sophia L. Fisher living there also.

Olivet Christian Nursery School celebrates 50 years

Past and present Olivet Christian Nursery School teachers and former families as well as current families came together to celebrate the 50-year anniversary of preschool education at Olivet. Festivities included tours of the preschool classrooms and facilities, old photos and memorabilia, including a slideshow highlighting OCNS through the years. Additional activities included children’s games, crafts, balloon animals, face painting, and a “trail mix” snack bar.

About OCNS

Olivet Christian Nursery School was founded in 1967 by Virginia Wiese, a member of Olivet Lutheran Church, at the request and direction of Pastor Philip Antilla.

During the first year there was only one class, but the school quickly grew, with additional teachers and classrooms added over the years.

The preschool was uniquely founded as a parent cooperative program, which is designed to allow parents and caregivers direct involvement in a child’s early education. On a “helper day,” parents participate in classroom activities, assist with programs, and watch their child as they are the class “leader” for the day. The premise is that parents and teachers work together to foster a life-long love of learning in a positive, creative environment. It is a concept that has carried on through the preschool’s 50-years of service.

The core values of play-based learning and preparing children for kindergarten still continue today, 50 years after its inception.

OCNS is still recognized for its approach in nurturing a child’s imagination, creativity and social skills. Earlier this year, OCNS was selected for the 2017 “Best of Sylvania

Award” in the Preschool category by the Sylvania Award Program, which honors the achievements and accomplishments of local businesses throughout the Sylvania area.

Today, the church and preschool have a close relationship, with several Olivet Church members as staff of the preschool. Currently, Olivet Church members on staff include: Jennifer Crooks, director and teacher,

BeLynda Murra, teacher, and Renee Kornowa, teacher.

Registration for the 2018-2019 school year is currently in process. To schedule a tour or get more information about the preschool, contact Jennifer Crooks, managing director, at 419-882-4616 or follow the preschool on Facebook.

Sara and Brian Longardner and their children Drew, a former student, and Tessa, a current student, enjoy the open house.

Former directors Chris Stockwell, second from left, and Jeanie Bugert Hayward, fourth from left, join former teachers Mary Carl, Jackie Hess, Susan White, Jerilynn Huffman McAdoo, Terry Fitzgerald and Bev Rideout to reminisce about the time they spent at the center.

Former directors Chris Stockwell and Jeanie Bugert Hayward and current director Jennifer Crooks step in the photo booth together.

Easton and Addyson Ehmann show their balloon animals to their mother, Sarah.

Skyler Rawson waits patiently for a blue balloon dog crafted by Highland fifth grade entrepreneur Jake Huyghe, who volunteered to bring his balloon art to the party.

A visit to CoreLife Eatery

BY MARY HELEN DARAH

I am a self-proclaimed “foodie.” I never lose sleep if I consumed real butter, anything fatladen or if my caloric intake for the day was that of a 237-pound male according to Weight Watchers. My upcoming annual physical and the fact that I have been wearing far too many stretchy yoga pants, even though the closest thing I get to “downward dog” is when my golden retriever jumps on me and motivates me to explore some healthier options.

CoreLife opened its doors in May of 2015 in Syracuse, N.Y. Since then, the eatery has 26 locations, two locally. I decided to visit the Monroe Street restaurant, not knowing what to expect.

Getting fresh

Luke Barrick and Tracy Rivera are ready to welcome guests to CoreLife Eatery and lead them toward a path of healthy eating.

Guests will be ‘bowled over’ with the endless healthy food options.

Tracy Rivera, of CoreLife showed me around the establishment, where I felt my cholesterol drop 10 points just by being in the environment. “Our focus is on clean, healthy eating,” stated Rivera. “We bring fresh to the public in a convenient way. We put the focus on health. Your true energy source is what you eat.” Rivera, who was formerly in the nursing field for five years, wanted to find a way to help people in their journey toward healthier eating.

“CoreLife is a perfect fit for me,” she said.

“My husband has diabetes. We wanted to make a lifestyle change. I know it was a total twist and turn career-wise but it has been so worth it.”

Get in line

Tea time... and lemonade too! Fun, colorful beverages with surprising ingredients await guests.

I was surprised at how incredible the food looked. Grass-fed steak, all-natural chicken, and fresh tofu are used and to my delight and surprise, bone and vegetable broth are simmered every night in-house. The vegetable options seemed endless and frankly intimidating. I was wondering how to not look like a total neophyte and/or a lost tourist in the land of healthy eating. Thankfully, Luke Barrick, manager at the Monroe Street location, was there to help me navigate the menu. Barrick, like his colleague Rivera, also

took a u-turn in his career. The graduate of the Owens Community College Police Academy is now pulling guests over (sans siren) in line and getting them on the road to better health. “We take care of guests that are new as well as our regulars,” stated Barrick.

“Having an assisting person in line really helps. We feature Grain Bowls, Broth Bowls, Green Bowls, Warm Rice Bowls and Plates.

The choices and combinations are endless.

Many of our customers eat a vegan or glutenfree diet. They love the endless choices here.

The only thing that is not gluten-free is our bread. Also, guests that have allergies do not have to worry about cross-contamination.”

Barrick helped me go out of my comfort zone.

I tried the Spicy Thai Chicken & Rice Noodles and was one happy, healthy woman. Each dish is individualized. You may delete or supplement an item. My request for a smidgen of cilantro and just a tad of sesame sriracha sprouts was met with a smile and not an “are you kidding me” face.

The big squeeze

I had the inside scoop that a visit to CoreLife wasn’t complete without trying one of their teas or lemonades. “We start with boxes of fresh lemons. There is not a pre-made mix,” stated Rivera. “We are squeezing all day long!” They had so many unusual offerings but I settled on the beet juice lemonade. Once again, I am so glad I vacated my comfort zone.

Reaching out

I was also impressed with the eatery’s philanthropic activities. “We gave 100 percent of the proceeds from our Maumee grand opening to the Cherry Street Mission and the proceeds from the grand opening from this location went to Sunshine Communities,” stated Rivera. “Good is happening in our community and we want to be a part of it.”

To get to the “core” of the matter, I greatly enjoyed my experience at CoreLife Eatery. I was thrilled to discover that convenient, healthy food could be downright delicious.

Yes, there is fresh food, unfamiliar beverages to explore and countless options, but the one thing I walked away with from my two CoreLife “tour guides” was their passion to help people make better food choices. I am certain they will be successful in their mission.

As Rivera shared, “When you are passionate about what you do, you can’t go wrong.”

This passionate “foodie” couldn’t agree more.

Traumatic Brain Injury Resource Center celebrates third anniversary; adds new ‘staff’ member Just as Jackie Moore, the founder of the Traumatic Brain Injury Resource Center, was preparing for the center’s third-anniversary open house, the opportunity to acquire Moses, a black Labrador puppy, presented itself. “This was amazing,” Moore reflected. “An emotional assistance animal is just what we have been needing here. And Moses knows exactly what to do from the minute he walks in the center, even though he is only 10 weeks old.”

According to Moore, Moses gathers up his toys and heads to whichever participant he feels is in need at that time. He either lays down nearby or encourages the select person to play with him. “It is uncanny how he seems to know just what to do,” Moore said.

In addition to introducing Moses to the more than 150 guests at the open house, all of the new products made by participants were on exhibit and for sale during the event.

Those include the always popular no-sew fleece blankets, lap robes and mermaid tails along with the new line of pet blankets, dog and cat toys and infant car seat ponchos.

Moore buys yards and yards of fleece when it is on sale to keep overhead at a minimum. “Not only do participants gain a sense of accomplishment by creating the products and learning new skills, the sale of these products is actually helping to defray the cost of running the center,” Moore pointed out. “We are also adding other sensory activities such as stringing beads, which help with fine motor coordination. We want to do it all, visual, audio and tactile stimulation.”

Moore continued, “Our complete kitchen is also another tool. We spend a good bit of time selecting menus and preparing food, baking and more. We actually teach with food and encourage all of our participants to nourish their bodies to feed their brains. Many with TBI, including me, lose their appetite and forget to eat and drink. The brain needs protein and hydration to function so we need to offer visual and tangible ways to help TBI participants to develop healthy eating habits.

This is just one example of what we can do in our everyday lives to further our recovery.”

Moore and staff member Megan Meyers are working to become military-ready to be able to work with veterans who suffer from PTSD along with those who have experienced traumatic brain injuries. “We will set aside a special time for veterans here at the center and help them find the treatment they need,” Moore offered.

“We started the center so that people who are survivors of traumatic brain injury, and their caregivers, have a safe place to go. We also serve as a resource center providing people with the kind of help they need,” Moore said.

“There is no judgment here. We work as a team and everyone helps each other. People who come here soon learn this is a judgment-free area. People are accepted for what they are.

People can enjoy support groups, speech, cognitive and memory groups and crafting opportunities. There are also educational seminars for healthcare professionals, students, survivors and caregivers.”

According to Moore, people receive support, art and music therapy, nutrition assistance, counseling, help with paperwork, yoga classes, information about clinical trials, rehabilitation, crafts and much more. “We even have presentations by professionals pertaining to traumatic brain injury.”

Moore, who suffered a traumatic brain injury due to an auto accident, cannot read or write and requires constant supervision. “After my injury, there was no information readily available and no support available. My husband, Michael, has been wonderful, helping me to put together all of this information so that we can share it with others who are in this same situation,” Moore said. “We are compiling quite a library for survivors and caregivers.”

Participants come to the center during the week to hang out or to take part in some activity like making no-sew fleece comfort blankets and other activities. Scheduled speech, cognitive and memory groups and support groups meet regularly Moore credits the generosity of the community for the center and all of its furnishings. “We have been extremely blessed to have the center and to receive so many donations and items to furnish it and make it work,” she stated.

Fields signs with Dolphins for one day Brandon Fields has been busy getting ready to open a new brewpub in downtown Sylvania called Inside the Five Brewing. But after a call from the Miami Dolphins offering him the opportunity to sign with them for one day, he decided to take a day off and fly down to Davie, Fla., where the Dolphins practice. The signing allows him to officially retire from the NFL as a Miami Dolphin.

“I have so many great memories playing for the Miami Dolphins that I will always cherish.

It’s an honor to be able to retire a Dolphin and always be a member of the organization,” he said.

Fields was the starting punter for the Dolphins for eight seasons, beginning in 2007.

He holds numerous franchise records including his career average, and also represented the Dolphins in the 2014 NFL Pro Bowl.

“I enjoyed playing in the National Football League, but am excited to be back home in Ohio and start a new career brewing beer in a great community.”

David Sautter has returned to Sylvania recently and joined his father, Jim, in overseeing operations at Sautter’s Market, 5519 Main St., in downtown Sylvania. He is the fourth generation to be part of the over 90year-old family business. “I’ve always kind of missed it,” Sautter said about coming home to Sautter’s Market. “I like good food, I like good wine, and I enjoy serving people. This is what I like to do, it’s in my blood.” The youngest Sautter to join the family business was out of state for most of the last two decades, earning his undergraduate degree from Indiana University, master’s degree from Depaul University, and working in the real estate industry in the Chicago area.

Sautter’s Food Center, part of the Sylvania landscape since 1959, has roots dating back to 1927 when the store’s founder, Ray Sautter, opened a neighborhood grocery on Collingwood Boulevard and Dorr Street. It was there that Sautter put into practice his philosophy to, “Buy the best and offer it at a fair price,” one that has survived the test of time and has been passed down to the owners.

Second generation, Bob Sautter, relocated the business to Sylvania in 1959. His son Jim, who was 13 at the time, started working at the store, which began as a neighborhood grocery.

The store has more than doubled in size thanks to renovations in 1976 and 1992. The larger facility includes an expanded produce area, a deli featuring a selection of prepared entrees and artisan desserts courtesy of chef Juan Nunez, a large wine selection with prices in all ranges and a varied selection of craft and regular beers. In addition, spring and summer brings a wealth of color to the front of the building thanks to all of the flowers and bedding plants that are offered for sale.

“We have been a family-owned business for over 90 years and have been able to establish strong relationships with customers,” said Jim Sautter. “We do offer a large selection of grocery items, and our customers also know that if we don’t have something they want or need, they just ask and we will get it if it’s possible.”

Another factor that sets this family-owned grocery apart is Sautter’s willingness to stock locally produced products that the larger food chains will not. Several products that are now distributed nationwide made their debut at the local grocery. “I’ll help anyone who has a good product,” Sautter said.

Sautter’s also offers fresh, locally grown produce thanks to the strong relationships area farmers the Sautters have developed and maintained through the years.

Sidelines Sports Eatery & Pub expands in Sylvania Sidelines Sports Eatery & Pub opened last September at 6060 Renaissance Place in the Renaissance Plaza off Holland-Sylvania Road.

Four months later, the owners leased the adjoining 1,500 square feet to expand the Sylvania eatery. “We just needed more space and this new room has become a favorite gathering spot for adults who enjoy a bar atmosphere while the original location is more family-friendly,�

Sylvania manager Mike Mockensturm said.

The addition has its own full service bar complete with six beer taps, seating for 48 patrons and seven large screen televisions. The kitchen was also enlarged and is accessible to both sides of the facility. The original restaurant has seating for 125 people who can view any one of the 22 large flat screen televisions lining the walls and the bar area.

The restaurant is known locally for its sports-themed, friendly, fun atmosphere and high-quality food not usually found on other

“sports barâ€? menus. The menu includes salads, burgers, ribs, steaks and many other options. “We like to be considered the neighborhood pub ‌ a place friends and families can regularly gather to eat great food, enjoy each other’s company and experience first class service,â€? owner Eric Sitter noted. “All of our beef, chicken and pork is hormone-free and responsibly-raised.â€?

Sitter continued, “We are probably most famous for our Fowl Balls, the ‘biggest basket in town’ of boneless chicken chunks. Fowl Balls are never frozen and are hand-cut at every location.�

Sitter and his partners Chris Etts and Jerry Edmondson opened their first location in Lambertville in 2001. Since then, they have opened Sidelines eateries on Laskey Road, Mellwood Court, Alexis Road and Maumee.

They are planning to open their sixth in Norwalk, Ohio, in the near future.

The Danberry Co., Realtors, recently announced the sale of a minority interest in the company to three members of the Danberry Leadership Team. Danberry owner and CEO, Lynn Fruth, announced that Kevin Warren, Maggie Fawcett and Dan McQuillen are now shareholders in the firm. “This transaction is the first formal step in an eight-year ownership transition plan that will reasonably assure that our culture and servant leadership approach will continue beyond my active participation and ownership in the company,� stated Fruth. “It has energized our agents and staff with the knowledge that three highly qualified and respected members of our current team will be guiding the company for the next several decades,� Fruth added.

Kevin Warren currently serves as Danberry’s Chief Operating Officer and Maggie Fawcett and Dan McQuillen each manage one of Danberry’s seven offices. “We are so excited to take this outstanding company to an even higher level,� commented Warren. “Danberry is committed to providing our agents the best support and marketing materials and our inclusion in ownership will guarantee this

commitment for years to come.� added Fawcett. McQuillen, who owned his own real estate company before joining Danberry in 2011, observed, “I think this is the first time a local real estate company has had ownership that spans three non-family generations; you can’t do that without great agents and community support.�

Danberry Realtors was founded in 1962

by Richard Glowacki, who guided the company for 34 years, selling it in 1996 to Richard Baker and Fruth. Fruth purchased Baker’s interest in the company in 2015.

Danberry was recently recognized by two national publications as the area’s leader in sales. Danberry’s 4,025 transactions in 2017 ranked it 199th in the nation out of approximately 150,000 companies.

In addition to providing professional real estate services Danberry is widely known for giving back to the community, which it has done in several ways. Most notable is through The Danberry Treasure Chest, which over its lifetime has raised over $1,000,000 for the most needy of children and their families at The Toledo Children’s Hospital.

Nationwide Insurance agent expands Sylvania office

Dave Gluckle and Mike Green talk about the advantages of the merged agency.

Nationwide Insurance agent Dave Gluckle recently merged with the Mike Green Nationwide Insurance agency and relocated his Country Square office to Green’s location at 4213 N. Holland-Sylvania Rd. Green is still affiliated with the agency and continues to provide financial planning services to his existing clients while also working with new clients.

In addition, Dee Sabo, Michelle Wurzel, Julie Schwarzkopf and Alec Jones complete the staff of agents in the Sylvania office and five additional agents are located in the Heatherdowns office. Kayla Kirk and Clarissa Martin serve in an administrative capacity.

“This is a great location for the agency,” Gluckle reported. “We have outstanding visibility from a very busy street. In addition, Mike has been in business here for over 25 years and has established an excellent reputation. We are also very fortunate to have an outstanding team of experienced agents.”

According to Gluckle, Nationwide has an outstanding retirement package and is one of the largest financial companies in the nation. “We have an excellent investment program, which is great for IRA and other

retirement accounts along with college accounts,” Gluckle stated. “While we also have a full range of insurance products, if we can’t help our clients with our products, we can broker with other companies or refer to other agents. We put our customers first and we have their best interests at heart.”

Over the last 80-plus years, Nationwide, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, has grown from a small mutual auto insurer owned by policyholders to one of the largest insurance and financial services companies in the world with more than $135 billion in statutory assets. The company offers a full line of insurance products including auto, homeowners, renters, life and specialty, such as accident, general liability, identity theft, pet and farm insurance, along with a variety of business products. In addition, the company offers banking and investment services.

Gluckle moved to the northwestern area in 2011 to assume a Nationwide agency in Maumee, relocating from the Cleveland area where he grew up and began selling insurance in 1999. He opened his office in Sylvania in 2015 and has since relocated the Maumee office to Heatherdowns Boulevard.

Windows 10 Mail App

Are you running Windows 10? Most of us PC users are and the Windows 7 folks will soon. Have you noticed the white mail envelope that came with your Janis Weber operating system? By default, it was placed on your taskbar. If not, open your Start Icon and go find it. Right click on the mail program, choose more, then pin to the taskbar. This is an amazing program that can organize your email, especially if you have multiple email addresses you have access to.

Even if you have a mixture of Gmail, Yahoo, Bex, etc., they can all be loaded in one place, so you don’t have to log in to more than one place. Make sure you have it pinned to your Start Menu as well. Both locations will show a tiny number to indicate if you have any new email. Try it today. Click on the white envelope and then press Get Started.

Windows 7 is Slowing Down

Recently Windows sent us all a large update.

This was pretty hefty so don’t be surprised if

your Windows 7 has a hard time holding the load. You can add more RAM (Random Access Memory) but that is about it. Clearing off data will not help unless your hard drive is more than 80 percent full. Your processor may be an average priced one, which means it is like a VW bug pulling a heavy load. If your processor and RAM are larger than average, then you may be still running just fine. Most of us like to save money so we don’t always fork over the big bucks for a faster computer when we purchase it. Remember the ad that said Pay Me Now or Pay Me Later? Well, that’s where you are. Your inexpensive machine will be showing its age soon. If you are running old programs, don’t be surprised when they quit working, especially when you do move up to Windows 10.

Microsoft will support Windows 7 until 2020 but that does not mean your machine can be any faster or efficient without more memory, or just bite the bullet and get a new computer with Windows 10. Move your files over and enjoy the speed.

The Toledo Clinic offers latest in breast cancer screening The Toledo Clinic offers the latest in breast cancer screening with The Genius™ 3D Mammography™ or Breast Tomosynthesis exam, developed by Hologic, Inc. This technology was developed to improve the accuracy of mammograms by capturing a three-dimensional image of the breast structure.

Dr. Patrick Gustine, Radiologist at The Toledo Clinic, said, “The 3D image enables radiologists to see more clearly through overlapping tissue to detect cancers, often at an earlier stage.� The overlapping of tissue is a primary reason why small breast cancers could be missed and normal tissue may appear abnormal, leading to unnecessary callbacks. “Being called back to recheck a mammogram can cause significant anxiety for the patient,�

Dr. Gustine said. “The 3D unit at The Toledo Clinic provides fewer inconclusive results and therefore reduces the anxiety patients experience, along with comparably lower radiation levels.â€? This is especially important in women with dense, fibrocystic breasts because women in this category are four to six times more likely to develop breast cancer than those with non-dense breasts. Only the Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam is FDA approved as superior for women with dense breasts compared to 2D alone.

On average, The Toledo Clinic’s unit will find 20 to 65 percent more invasive cancers than conventional mammography. “The important thing about our 3D mammography program is that it extends the benefits of early detection to a much wider range of women than conventional technology did,� said Dr. Henry Naddaf, President of The Toledo Clinic.

proudly lead this organization according to our mission, vision and values.� “On behalf of everyone at The Toledo Clinic, I want to thank Dr. Elliot for his service to the organization and the patients we care for,� said Dr. Naddaf. “He was president during a time of great change, in healthcare and at The Toledo Clinic. His leadership allowed us to grow stronger in trying times.�

The remainder of newly elected officers includes Vice President, Steven Ariss, M.D., Secretary, Sanjiv Bais, M.D., Treasurer, Mamon Maiteh, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Moshir Jacob, M.D., and Chief Compliance Officer, William Sternfeld, M.D. The officers serve along with a board of directors, which is representative of the broad range of specialties at The Toledo Clinic. “The Toledo Clinic is different from other healthcare organizations because we are physician-led,�

Dr. Naddaf said. “This leadership allows us to focus on the care people need by providing them with quality healthcare at affordable prices, when and where they need it.�

CRAIG STOUGH MAYOR’S MESSAGE

Police Vehicle Updates

Thanks to Sgt. Danilynn Miller for the following update on the Sylvania Craig Stough Police Division’s newest vehicles.

The Sylvania Police Division has had several recent changes to its fleet of marked patrol units. The most notable, or perhaps the one less likely to be seen, is the stealth vehicle that has been put into service.

Patrol vehicles that are “stealth” are vehicles that have a subdued outward appearance and are not quickly identified as a marked patrol vehicle. The graphics on the vehicle match the design of the marked patrol units; however, they are only a few shades lighter than the black paint of the vehicle.

This makes the graphics viewable only from certain angles. For safety reasons, the graphics are reflective and will reflect in the headlights of other vehicles at night. The light bar that one would see on the top of a

MIKE JONES

TOWNSHIP TOPICS

Traffic stop yields stolen goods

A car speeding along King Road in the early morning recently led to an arrest and the recovery of several stolen items. Sylvania Township Police Chief Paul Long said, “It is always rewarding when we can tell someone we've recovered their stolen items, particularly before they knew the items were gone."

Officer John Tanner was on patrol recently when he spotted the car driving out of Lost Creek Drive onto King Road and picking up speed. The officer used radar to time the car at 62 mph in a 40 mph zone. The vehicle quickly turned onto Finchwood and as he followed the car he saw that it had parked in the driveway of a home. A check with the dispatcher determined that the vehicle was not registered to anyone at that address.

When officer Tanner approached the car, he noted that the driver had left the scene, leaving a young woman and two 15-year-old boys in the vehicle. Officer Tanner noted that there were several items strewn about inside the car and that it smelled strongly of alcohol and marijuana.

As other police units arrived, the driver,

traditional police vehicle has been removed and in its place are LED red and blue lights that have been integrated into the body of the vehicle as well as the interior.

Because purchasing a vehicle specifically for this purpose would be an expensive undertaking, the Sylvania Police Division opted to repurpose one of its existing 2013 Ford Police sedans. The old white door wraps and roof wraps, as well as all the decals, were removed. The vehicle was painted a solid black color and the chrome wheel covers were painted black as well.

New stealth graphics were installed on the vehicle. The cost for all was approximately $2,800.

Vehicle lighting was the next undertaking to complete the project.

Working closely with the city vehicle maintenance department, a plan was developed and all new lighting was able to be purchased for $1740 and installed inhouse. The costs for a new vehicle may range anywhere from $35,000 to $43,000 depending on the options and equipment purchased for it.

Most citizens may first notice this stealth vehicle when it has a vehicle pulled over or when it is at a crash scene with all its red and blue lights on. The vehicle is meant to enhance the police department’s ability to quickly and effectively get into areas where Duane Trouten, 26, returned to the scene and it was determined that the group had allegedly been driving around in several areas stealing items from cars in residential neighborhoods.

Police recovered cell phones, furs, jewelry, sports equipment, cash and a variety of items from the vehicle. The items recovered were determined to belong to people from Sylvania, Toledo, Perrysburg and elsewhere.

Trouten, of Michigan, was charged with receiving stolen property and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Other charges in the case may yet be filed.

Chief Long said he wanted to take the opportunity to add that theft reports often increase in warmer weather. People tend to remember to close their garage doors against the weather in the winter, but aren’t always as careful in springtime. It remains important to be certain that your home is protected no matter the weather, he said.

New traffic signs

Traffic signs will be installed on some Sylvania Township roads this year to better regulate traffic where motorists and bicyclists often share the road. Rob Nash, manager of the township road department, recently told the trustees that three township roadways have been selected for regulatory signs stating that “Bikes May Use Full Lane.”

The newest Sylvania police vehicles criminal activity is present without being as noticeable to the criminals.

The Sylvania Police Division has also added two new 2018 Ford Police Utility Vehicles to its fleet. These vehicles took the place of the other two 2013 Ford Police Sedans, which have been reassigned to the department’s School Resource Officers.

These 2018 Utilities have new light bars.

The light bars that are on the rest of the patrol fleet are reaching the end of their serviceable life and by replacing the light bars as the vehicles are replaced we will have parts available to keep the others in service until they can be replaced. These patrol vehicles are also equipped with a new electronic monitoring and programming system called bluePRINT. This allows for

all electrical equipment, light bars, siren, in-car camera system, in-car computer, etc. to be wired into one main component with programming capabilities to control how and when certain equipment works. These two new marked utilities were purchased from and outfitted by Statewide Ford in Van Wert, Ohio for $43,250 each.

This starts the beginning of replacing vehicles in our fleet of marked patrol vehicles. In 2019, we will replace two of the four 2014 Ford Utility vehicles with the other two 2014 Ford Utility vehicles scheduled to be replacedin 2020. Costs for these vehicles will be slightly less due to the transitioning of equipment from our 2014 Ford Utility vehicles into these new 2019 and 2020 Ford Utility vehicles.

He said the recommendation for placing the signs is from the Sylvania Area Bikeways Initiative. He added that they are in line with the township’s proposed new land use plan which stresses additional means for residents to travel from one point to another by walking, riding, or some means other than driving. He said the signs are to be placed on Sequoia and Percentum as well as the township’s portion of Irwin Road from Bancroft to Wolfinger.

Originally, Nash said it was recommended that the signs also be placed on Wolfinger and Corey Road between Whiteford Road and Monroe Street. Because the signs act as something of an invitation to bicyclists, Nash said he rejected those two roadways. He noted that Corey Road is 90 percent a no passing road and is narrow and that Wolfinger now is not in good repair. He said after Wolfinger is repaved he may consider the signs for that street.

Herr Road and Sylvania Avenue. The request by the Apostolic Christian Church is for a change in zoning from restricted industrial to general commercial and would cover about five acres at the southeast corner of the T intersection.

The plan commission staff recommended disapproval primarily because the current zoning is generally in line with the proposed Sylvania Township land use plan, which was recommended for approval by the county body at its last meeting. The staff report noted the plan suggests land uses “typical of a business park setting.”

Further, the report said, “Religious uses such as churches are not compatible with surrounding industrial uses to the south and do not meet the intended future land use designated for business park related land uses.” The commission vote against recommending the requested change was unanimous.

The zone change is scheduled to be heard next by the Sylvania Township Zoning Commission. Any change in zoning must be approved by the Sylvania Township trustees.

Cinco de Mayo: Let’s get this fiesta started!

BY JENNIFER RUPLE You may know from prior articles that I am an extreme Kentucky Derby fan. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. I was even late for prom (twice) because I didn’t want to miss “The Most Exciting Two Jennifer Ruple Minutes in Sports.”

What Kentucky high school would schedule prom on the first Saturday in May anyway?

As a food writer, imagine my dismay when I realized that the Kentucky Derby and Cinco de Mayo would happen on the same day in 2018. This clash of two iconic party subjects happens every few years or so; however, because Cinco de Derby and Derby de Mayo mashups don’t cut it for me, I would have to choose one or the other.

As a party purist and also a Mexican food lover, this year I chose Cinco de Mayo, a day that celebrates Mexico’s victory over the French army at the Battle of Puebla in 1862 and the country’s rich and vibrant culture.

So, let’s get this fiesta started!

Chicken al Carbon Tacos with Chipotle Crema Serves 6 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts Juice of 1 lime 1 tablespoon vegetable oil Salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon chipotle powder

Sprinkle chicken breasts with lime juice, then coat with oil. Season with salt, pepper and chipotle powder. Allow to sit 10 to 15 minutes.

Cook on a charcoal or gas grill or under the oven broiler until just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Allow to rest for 10 minutes, then slice into strips.

Spoon chicken filling into tortillas and top with Chipotle Crema.

In a medium bowl, place the masa harina and salt, and slowly add the water, stirring with a fork until dough comes together into a ball. Knead the dough several times and roll into a log shape about 2 inches in diameter and 8 inches long. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and allow to rest for about 30 minutes.

Heat a cast iron comal, skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

Cut log into ½ inch rounds, keeping it covered so the dough doesn’t dry out. Place one of the rounds between 2 sheets of plastic in a tortilla press and flatten to about 1/16-inch thick.

Peel off the plastic and place tortilla in the pan. Cook about 1 minute, until light brown speckles appear.

Flip the tortilla and cook 30 seconds, pressing down on the tortilla with a small spatula. Repeat with remaining rounds.

Stack and keep warm in a kitchen towel.

Serve immediately.

Silver Coin Margarita

The Silver Coin Margarita

Makes 1 1 ounce Silver Patrón Tequila ½ ounce Cointreau or orange liqueur ½ ounce brandy Juice from half a lime ½ cup non-alcoholic margarita mix Ice Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.

Tres Leches Cake

Tres Leches Cake

1 cup all-purpose flour 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt 5 eggs 1 cup sugar, divided 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 /3 cup milk 1 can evaporated milk 1 can sweetened condensed milk ¼ cup heavy cream Icing: 1 pint heavy cream, for whipping 3 tablespoons sugar Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch pan liberally until coated.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Separate eggs.

Beat egg yolks with ¾ cup sugar on high speed until yolks are pale yellow. Stir in milk and vanilla. Pour egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and stir gently until combined.

Beat egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. With the mixer on, pour in remaining ¼ cup sugar and beat until egg whites are stiff but not dry.

Fold egg white mixture into the batter gently until just combined. Pour into prepared pan and spread to even out the surface.

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Turn cake out onto a rimmed platter and allow to cool.

In a small pitcher, combine condensed milk, evaporated milk and heavy cream.

When cake is cool, pierce the surface with a fork several times. Slowly drizzle all but about 1 cup of the milk mixture—try to get as much around the edges of the cake as you can.

Allow the cake to absorb the milk mixture for 30 minutes. To ice the cake, whip 1 pint heavy cream with 3 tablespoons of sugar until thick and spreadable. Spread over the surface of the cake. Decorate cake with whole or chopped maraschino cherries. Cut into squares and serve.

NDA names valedictorians

Mary Gerhardinger

Claire Kohler

Notre Dame Academy has announced the valedictorians for the class of 2018. Mary Gerhardinger and Claire Kohler earned the top grades in their class and both young women participated in NDA’s International Baccalaureate program. Kohler is a full IB Diploma candidate and Gerhardinger is earning five IB certificates as well as taking Advanced Placement courses.

Gerhardinger started at Notre Dame Academy’s Junior Academy in seventh grade.

She excelled at speech and debate. She and her duo interpretation partner, Elizabeth Burchfield, will be competing at the national speech and debate tournament this summer.

Gerhardinger was also in NDA’s musicals and

competed in soccer and fencing. She will attend Kenyon College and is weighing whether to major in mathematics, physics, or philosophy. She hopes to become a professor or seminarian.

Claire Kohler has been a leader at Notre Dame Academy, serving on the executive student council and as president of the French Club. She has competed on NDA’s speech and debate team all four years of high school, most recently giving an informative speech on the psychology behind infomercials. In addition, Kohler ran cross country all four years, was in the spring play, Film Studies club, and Building Bridges Club. She has played flute with the Toledo Symphony Youth Orchestra for the past three years and is a member of the Sylvania United Church of Christ.

Like all students in the IB Diploma Program, Kohler was required to complete a Creativity, Action, and Service Project to put what she learned into action. By sewing and selling recycled t-shirt bags and other reusable bags made from recycled materials at Toledo’s West Side Buy Local Sale, she raised $1,200 for wildlife conservation. The money went towards the Lueser Ecosystem in Indonesia, which is the last biodiverse ecosystem in the world, with rhinoceroses, tigers, lions and orangutans. Kohler will attend the University of Vermont where she will be majoring in psychology.

SV Athletes Honored

The honored Cougar Athlete is senior Matthew Ferguson. During the first five games of the year Matthew is 7-12, batting .583 out of the clean-up spot. He had 2 doubles, 6 RBIs, 7 runs, and 7 BB/HBP. He hit his first career home run against Ravenwood (TN) while the team played its first four games in Jacksonville, Fla. Along with playing first base, Matthew got the start on the mound against a very good Mandarin Florida team and led the Cougars to a 10-7 win. Coach Brett Baumgartner said, ‘When you get into the coaching profession it is players like Matthew that you hope you have the opportunity to work with. He not only holds himself accountable, but he also holds his teammates accountable. I would put his work ethic up against anyone that I’ve ever come across. His leadership and love for the game are infectious, and I hope that he will continue his hot start through the rest of his senior season.’ Matthew carries a 3.7 GPA in the classroom and will major in Education at The University of Toledo.

The honored Cougar Athlete is senior Nick Gillen. He is a captain on the lacrosse team and the starting goalie for the Cougars.

Midway through the season, he has an average save of 52 percent even though he is defended by one of the youngest defenses in the NLL and the state of Ohio. In a hard fought overtime loss against Bishop Fenwick recently, Nick had an astonishing 59 save percentage despite the fact that most of the shots were taken within 10 yards of the goal. Coach Tony Hunter said ‘Nick is a team player and puts his team above all else. Although Nick has been the starting goalie for the past few seasons, this year we asked him to give up his goalie position and step in on offense in a few desperate situations. Nick responded with, ‘I’ll do whatever is best for the team.’ Not only did Nick rise to the situation, he netted a hat trick on attack against Bowling Green. He is a great player and a great person.’ Nick plans on attending The University of Toledo where he will be a business major and is looking forward to a career in investment management.

Spoke Life Cycles Spring Tips

Spring is finally here…are you ready for a bike ride? Is your bike ready for a bike ride?

Here are some tips for what to expect when you pull your bike out of the garage for the first time this year, or the first time in a few years.

• Tires will be low, or even flat…this does not necessarily mean that you have a hole in your tube. Tires will lose air over time, as much as 2 to 3 psi per day, so six months or longer will definitely lead to flat tires. Air them up; then check the next day to make sure they are holding air.

• Give the bike a little cleaning and a little lube, it’s probably dusty and hasn’t moved in a while. A light cleaner like dish soap in a bucket of water will work, rinse off with the hose (do not use a power washer). Be sure to wipe the bike down after or let it air dry in the sun to prevent metal parts from corroding. Do not put it away wet! Lubricate the chain and make sure the handlebars, seat, and pedals are tight. Also make sure the brakes and shifting gears are in proper working order.

• Inspect your bike for obvious signs of trouble. For example, check for excessive rust, cracking on the sidewall of tires, handlebars that are not straight, or a saddle that is damaged.

• The first ride of the year is always tough on your body, but don’t panic.

After a few rides if the soreness continues see your local bike shop for advice.

• And lastly and most importantly, WEAR A HELMET! There are a lot of new or developing bike paths in the Greater Toledo area to check out, have fun!

My Mom responded that her grandfather was also a painter, only of Jim and Sue Scheib houses not Dutch landscapes. My Dad’s (Dad and Mom mother, Grandmother Scheib, used to don respectively) white gloves to entertain the American Medical Association at her home. My Mom’s mother, Gram, also would wear white gloves. On fishing trips up at the Canadian cabin, she found they came in handy for baiting a hook. My Mom has often informed me that, “What everyone else thinks of you is really none of your business.” As a couple, they live this mantra and make decisions based on what is good for their relationship instead of pleasing others.

Forgive and try REALLY hard to forget My Gram used to tell me, “Pumpkin, you can be right, or you can be happy.”

Obviously, her daughter was on the receiving end of this wisdom too, for my Mom truly is happy.

Dad has encouraged (OK more like shoved) her to attend events in his world of social and philanthropic events. She has tempered his quick (AKA hot) reactions, showed him an appreciation of the outdoors and miraculously gets him to “be still and know” from time to time.

They know it is impossible to change their hardwired traits yet they have created new circuits to keep their love flowing.

Four letter words I grew up with a Dad and Mom whose biggest swear words were “gee whiz” and “gosh darn it.” If we heard a “damn,” we knew to scatter. But, there were plenty of four letter words that, although nouns, seemed like verbs. Words such as HOME, SAFE, HOPE, and most of all LOVE. I have no idea what gift to give to commemorate 60 years of witnessing their hand holding, laughter, and countless memory making moments.

My Dad has already given not only my Mom but all of us a priceless treasure. He would always tell me the best gift a man can give to his children is to love their mother.

Thank you Dad for the gift that keeps on giving and thank you Mom for unconditionally loving my type A+ father… even when he gives you snow tires.

R ICK COZZA

THE ITALIAN GARDENER I must be a Hybrid, apparently not taking the extremes of emotion that go with fierce loyalties that some people have.

Case in point are the Ohio State/Michigan fanatics.

Rick Cozza I grew up in Pittsburgh, maintaining my ‘Steeler Fandom’ all throughout my life. But I spent my 20s and 30s in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C. (“The District”, if you live there), and filled my first yard with a Camellia Sasanqua, Crepe Myrtles, a small hillside filled with blooming Azaleas, and many of the plants that thrive in the acid soil of the east coast.

To this day, I still subscribe to Southern Living Magazine, mainly for the landscaping/gardening articles, and for the marvelous cooking articles. Yum! The articles about the pride, the ‘Southern Hospitality’, etc., go right over my head (Pittsburger that I am), but my Ohio yard still has several of the plants unique to the South, that I nurse along each year, well outside their comfort zones. I still have a white Crepe Myrtle, which I believe is hardy only as far north as Chillicothe, Ohio, at best. And in a somewhat protected bed, I am trying to grow a Chocolate Mimosa Tree, generally native to Kentucky and Tennesee, and farther south. It is now 3 years old, and 4 feet tall. But Google ‘Mimosa Tree’, and see just why I have to have one, especially this chocolateleafed variety.

My reason for choosing this topic today was an article in this month’s Southern Living that discussed a gardener’s attempt to create a ‘writer’s sanctuary’ for himself on a recentlypurchased 2-acre property in the mountains of North Carolina. As it mentioned the efforts to

clear areas around the house, create walkways and sitting areas in the overgrown wooded areas of the property, it reminded me of a lady that I met last year, right here in Sylvania . . . in the City Of Sylvania, no less.

She had just bought an old home, just as had the Southern Living author. As the magazine quoted, “. . . in spite of all the problems it had.”

The author had taken now-ten-years to get it to the point that he was somewhat satisfied, and could write his article for the rest of us. My Sylvania friend (and any of you wishing to create your ideal yard) should follow the author’s lead, and not try to eat the elephant all at once. Set your priorities, take one area each season, and eat the elephant ‘just one bite at a time.’

When I talk to folks that want to improve their property, to create that ‘sanctuary’ they have always wanted, they go on and on and on . . .! But when asked to prioritize, it becomes a much easier task to lay out in front of them, and is soooooooo much more manageable and do-able. When I moved into my current house seven years ago, we decided to re-do the front sidewalk garden the first autumn, the back yard in year two, etc., and we are mostly finished now. There are obviously a myriad of small additions and needs, but the ‘heavy lifting’ is now behind us. I have time now to try to grow ‘experimental plants’ from The South if I want.

And, as I read the North Carolina propertyrenovation article, the listing of plants made me say, “ . . . if only I could grow those here!”

But being the northerner that I am, I have satisfied myself with a few Girard Hybrid Azaleas, grown in Lake County, Ohio, and more than hardy here. My perennials, my shrubs and my trees are cold-hardy to minustwenty degrees, as they should be.

But, tucked into the hillside bed in the backyard are my white Crepe Myrtle and my Chocolate Mimosa tree, both a reminiscence of my days in Maryland and Northern Virginia.

JANET AMID

THE STARS SPEAK Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. –Buddha

May 15 new moon in Taurus, time to settle in

A new moon is powerful in many ways, often times they are known as wishing days. If your wishes are universally correct, without bias and selfishness then usually they will come to fruition. Sometimes it can confuse us and our needs come in conflict with our wants and our needs always seem to win. The new moon is also a time of rebirth, a time when we give our self a fresh start.

The new moon signals a time of emergence.

There is an impulse to take action and begin something new, be it a small change in the way you approach your daily routine or a whole new path on your journey through life.

Because of its affect in Taurus, we are bound by rules and responsibility. A good, earthy time to settle in and take control of what is needed.

May 29 Full moon in Sagittarius

The full moon in Sagittarius brings to light not only our emotional side; it also reveals an extraordinary side of intellect. The influence of the Gemini Sun in opposition to the influence of the full moon in Sagittarius is all about communication, getting to the heart of it all, consuming as much information as need be.

While Gemini brings us our daily knowledge, Sagittarius is the influence that develops the knowledge into something quite extraordinary. It’s all about having a heightened experience.

Both signs are generally fast paced, intense and fierce. There is some energy of impatience, we all want our wishes to come true sooner, tomorrow morning if possible, yet of course it is not always possible

Jupiter continues in retrograde

Jupiter, the planet of luck continues in a retrograde motion until July 11. For most, specifically Sagittarius, Scorpio and Taurus, use caution where finances are concerned.

Venus, the planet of love, moves into moon-ruled Cancer May 20

This is not always an easy transit, as Venus likes to blossom, can be flirty when exalted, and moving into Cancer merely tones things down a bit. Though a good aspect for caution where money, and investments are concerned, it brings out our more conservative side. Those born under Libra, Cancer, and Aries are mainly affected.

Though where it falls in your chart depends on time of birth.

Mars, the planet of action moves into Uranus-ruled Aquarius May 16

This is a great time to explore, to seek out.

A wonderful transit as Mars in Aquarius is all about being social, gathering people together, stepping out of the box and seeking new alliances. It’s a good solid transit to discover your more spiritual, quirky side.

SIGNS: ARIES

(March 20- April 19) - Feeling overwhelmed by the desire to speak or to merely turn a blind eye is significant in this

astrological setup. In addition, focus this month plants firmly, after May 14, planets Mercury and Taurus in your money house.

Though a bit frivolous at times, your need for financial security opens your eyes. Also a much-needed appearance from an old friend is a welcomed sight.

TAURUS

(April 20- May 20) - Taurus is one of the signs that resist change more than any other.

It feels like torture, as striving daily to maintain a sense of semblance and normalcy is what you crave most. However, with planetary influences occurring in the private sector of your chart, you may find yourself on the receiving end of much needed changes, whether work or personal related.

So you comply without hesitation. In addition, your money situation may perk up a bit this month and you may find yourself dealing with better opportunities.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20) - So much can be said about this month’s activity as your find yourself in conflict between your own needs, and the needs of those closest to you. It is a quandary to say the least, when all you want to do is enjoy spring with no setbacks. To top it off, your partners, personal or business related, may be working diligently and over compensate. Simply said, it's all about compromise. In addition, your health may be a factor this month as stress can be compounded.

CANCER

(June 21-July 20) - Letting go of the past, moving forward into the present is a true sign or indication of where you really should be. Planetary activity hitting your area of thought forces you to reevaluate your desire/need for resolution, specifically where matters of the heart and money are concerned. It's up to you to maintain a sense of balance.

LEO

(July 22-Aug. 22) - Purging can be a good thing as it allows you to unload, to clear out memories that no longer serve their purpose, to start fresh. This month’s planetary setup urges you to take the bull by the horns and get moving. Push sentiment aside, and make room in your life. Quit allowing others to hold you back. You are being beckoned to increase your awareness, while taking hold of your life.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - So much can be said about saying the words, but not getting the message out clearly enough. Therefore, say what you need to say, and show some conviction. On the flip side, a great cycle for you to explore more of your creative side

with this planetary setup. In addition, finances look good and steady, up to you to maintain that.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)- As always, the message is about being watchful of your finances, be alert to the unexpected, and be well aware of your limitations. In addition, emotions may run high this month as the focus is on family. Also, your connections with friends may be strained.

Work from the within and try not to react to petty grievances.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - A crazy month for all concerned, mainly you. Your desire to shut down and walk away seems easy enough, but your need to resolve is stronger yet. Also, a good month to get your financial resources in order as this planetary setup is all about getting it right. Moreover, money and work look stable, a good month to ask for a raise/promotion.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22- Dec. 20 - So much can be said about health and fitness, with planetary influences in your area of thought you may find yourself seeking ways to self-heal and become more in-tune altogether. This month’s setup mimics a whole new side of life as you know it, and brings to light a need to really work on leftover issues.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 21-Jan. 19) - As you seek to relinquish matters that no longer serve your needs, you find yourself in a healing stance. Specifically speaking, work matters are more positive, whereas personal relationships seem to be more tolerable and less difficult. A good month to step it up.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - The last few months have been hectic as your connection with friends and co-workers has left you at a standstill.

Moreover family and friends at this time play a major role in how you see yourself.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 19) - As soulful as you are, this month you may exert some effort to be more adventurous, to purge yourself of old patterns and create new ones. Also, you may find yourself in the limelight as this month’s planetary setup shines the spotlight on you. Be watchful, but do not overreact.

James Diethelm

James (Jim) Diethelm, family practice physician, exceptional husband and father and lover of golf died April 17, 2018, at Sunset Village. He was 93 years young.

Jim was born in Toledo, Ohio, the son of Rudolph A. Diethelm, M.D. and Marie O’Reilly Diethelm. He was also preceded in death by his wife, Helen Mominee Diethelm, and sisters Carol Manahan (Tom) and Beverly LaDue (Bob). Jim is survived by his children Debra Monagan (Tom), James D. (J.D.) Diethelm (Julie) and Diane Goodwin (Jay). He is also survived by nine grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

Jim attended St. Agnes Elementary School and at 13 years old he got on a train, by himself, and went to Campion Jesuit High School in Prairie du Chien, Wis. While at Campion, he played football and ran track, and he graduated as valedictorian of his class. He was also a sports writer for the Campionette where his column was called Sideline Chatter. One of his fondest memories was when Arch Ward, the sports editor of the Chicago Tribune, invited all of the regional high school sports editors to join him on one of the inaugural trips of the Burlington Zephr, one of America’s first dieselelectric stainless steel trains. They traveled from St. Paul, Minn., to Chicago at speeds in excess of 100 mph—a big deal in those days.

After Campion, Jim attended the University of Notre Dame where he was a member of the campus ROTC. He entered the Navy V12 College Program there, was later released from the Navy and joined the Army Reserve. He did a tour of duty during the Korean War, but was stationed stateside at Fort Polk, La., where he served in the medical corp.

Jim graduated from medical school at St. Louis University and later joined his father, Rudy, in his medical practice. He married a very cute nurse, who assisted him in practice until they started their family. Helen was the love of his life the minute he met her in 1942, when he was home on a school break from Notre Dame. He once drove a dynamite truck, while at St. Louis, just to earn enough money to visit her at nursing school.

Dr. Jim was the first chairman of the Family Practice Department at St. Vincent Hospital and one of the original members of the St. Vincent Foundation. Rudy, Jim and J.D. were honored by St. Vincent for over 100 years of combined service to the hospital. He was also on the committee that founded St. Francis de Sales High School.

Jim was an avid Notre Dame football fan

and played golf whenever he could. He often bragged that he was called off the course at Inverness Country Club—just after he had teed off —to deliver a baby. According to him, he drove quickly to St. V’s (with a police escort after almost being arrested for speeding), delivered the first baby, then a second baby and also made a house call before returning to the course and joining his foursome for the second nine . . . or so the legend goes.

Jim also enjoyed spending time with his family at their cottage at Catawba Island. He was a member of Inverness Club, the Toledo Country Club and the Catawba Island Club.

He was a parishioner of Gesu Church and in recent years attended Corpus Christi University Parish with his children.

The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Sunset Village for their constant care and love for Jim. Donations in Jim’s honor can be made to St. Francis de Sales High School, 2323 W. Bancroft Toledo, OH 43607. Online condolences may be shared at walkerfuneralhomes.com.

Jack Esbin

Jack Esbin, 82, died peacefully in Ebeid Hospice on April 13, 2018, following a three-month illness. He will be sorely missed by his loving wife of 62 years, Martha, son Guy (Becky), daughter Gay, granddaughter Cammi, grandson Nick (Ashley), great-granddaughter Noelle, sister Connie (Lou) and many nieces and nephews. Jack was born Dec. 14, 1935, to John Harrison Esbin and Grace McMahon Esbin in Philadelphia. At the age of 17, he joined Atlantic Refining as a mail clerk, then enlisted in the U.S. Army. With the benefit of the GI bill, he went to college. Jack began his professional career in 1959 as a mathematics teacher in the public schools of Delaware, then in 1962 became an instructor of mathematics and (in 1964) the assistant director for academic support at the computer center of Illinois State University. He then moved to the University of Iowa, where he was the associate director of the computer center, and where he became a member of both ACM and SIGUCCS in January of 1968. In 1976 he became the Director of Computing at the University of Toledo, then a year later became the Executive Director of the J. Preston Levis Regional Computer Center, which served multiple public institutions, including UT, the city of Toledo, Bowling Green State University, the Northwest Ohio Regional Information System (an area criminal justice network), and several small colleges in the area. When the

regional center was disbanded in 1990, Jack became the Director of Computing for the city of Toledo. He returned to the University of Toledo in 1995, from which he retired in 2000 after serving as the Director of the Year 2000 Project. Jack served in many positions for the Association for Computing Machinery and SIGUCCS. Some of his positions and awards were: ACM Chair, Vice Chair, and Treasurer of the ACM Special Interest Group Board, 197783, ACM Council Member, 1980-1996, ACM Treasurer & Secretary, 1982-1994, ACM Outstanding Contribution Award and ACM Fellow Election in 1993. He also served in ACM' s special interest group for colleges and universities, SIGUCCS as editor, historian, and as chairs of various conferences. Jack received the SIGUCCS Hall Of Fame Award and Penny Crane Award in 2001. In 2016, he received SIGUCCS's first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award.

James Richard

James J. Richard, retired public relations executive and former newspaper man, passed away April 20, 201, at The Franciscan Care Center. He was 95 years old.

Born in Erie, Penn., Sept. 7, 1922, to Timothy M and Allie (Olle) Richard, Jim was married to Agnes Christina (Polomsky) Richard on Aug. 10, 1946. She preceded him in death Feb. 18, 2001. They were proud parents of Timothy (Patricia) Richard, Sylvania, Ohio; Regina (William) Coughlin, Eastlake, Ohio and Christina (James) Johnson, Church Hill, Md. grandsons six include Survivors Christopher and Andrew (Kimberly) Richard, Liam and Conor Coughlin, Richard and Jamie Johnson, two granddaughters Kieran Coughlin (James) Zalar and Allie Johnson; two greatgrandsons Alexander Richard and James J. Richard, and three great-granddaughters Lily, Sophia and Cecelia Richard.

Jim grew up in Bellevue, Ohio, attending Immaculate Conception school, Bellevue Central High School and Kent State University.

During World War II, he served as a boatswain with the U.S. Merchant Marines from 1942 to

1946 in the North Atlantic, Mediterranean and Pacific war theaters, earning an honorable discharge from the USMM, Naval Reserve and U.S. Coast Guard.

Jim joined the Toledo Blade in 1946 as a sports writer, golf editor and columnist. In 1955 he became the assistant director of public relations for the International UAW in Detroit.

He returned to Toledo, Ohio, in 1957 to establish the Burr Public Relations Agency, partnering with two former Blade writers, Vic Ullman and Chuck Baker.

The Burr Agency became Ullman, Richard and Associates, which later became BeesonReichert-Richard, Inc. That agency became Rotsinger-Tenney-Richard, Inc. Jim handled many campaigns for local, state, and federal political candidates and issues. He sold his interest in the firm and joined the Medical College of Ohio in 1978 as director of communications. He retired in 1989. He continued as a part-time instructor in public relations, speech and technical writing at the University of Toledo until 1992.

Jim served as president of the Newspaper Guild, was a board member of the Toledo Area Chamber of Commerce and was a 30-year member of the Downtown Kiwanis. He was a member of the PRSA College of Fellows and former President of the Mental Health Center and was an institutional member of the board of WGTE-TV, Channel 30, a PBS station.

In retirement he was the founding president of the MCO (UTMC) retirees' organization.

He was past president of the Ohio Writers Forum. He volunteered and coordinated many organizations, including “Call for Action” and “Ask the Attorney” at both TV channels 11 and 13. He wrote a monthly sports column for Mature Living Magazine and did assignment writing for the Catholic Chronicle.

A member of St. Joseph Parish in Sylvania at the time of his passing, he was a Hospice Eucharistic minister at ProMedica Flower Hospital. He volunteered for Mobile Meals for over 10 years with his dearest friend and companion Linda Tippett, who passed in 2015.

Jim was an active golfer and bowler in many area leagues. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus, Old Newsboys, Sylvania Senior Center, The Metroparks, Sylvania Historical Society and the Walter Weller Post #135 of the American Legion. One of his greatest joys was volunteering at The Queen of Apostles School in Toledo, assisting students and teachers in the computer skills lab.

The body was donated to the University of Toledo's Medical School.
