Issues on the Nov. 6 Ballot Issue 1

To Reduce Penalties for Crimes of Obtaining, Possessing, and Using Illegal Drugs Proposed Constitutional Amendment Proposed by Initiative Petition To add a new Section 12 to Article XV of the Constitution of the State of Ohio If adopted, the amendment would: • Require sentence reductions of incarcerated individuals, except individuals incarcerated for murder, rape, or child molestation, by up to 25% if the individual participates in rehabilitative, work, or educational programming.

• Mandate that criminal offenses of obtaining, possessing, or using any drug such as fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD, and other controlled substances cannot be classified as a felony, but only a misdemeanor.

• Prohibit jail time as a sentence for obtaining, possessing, or using such drugs until an individual’s third offense within 24 months.

• Allow an individual convicted of obtaining, possessing, or using any such drug prior to the effective date of the amendment to ask a court to reduce the conviction to a misdemeanor, regardless of whether the individual has completed the sentence.

• Require any available funding, based on projected savings, to be applied to state-administered rehabilitation programs and crime victim funds.

• Require a graduated series of responses, such as community service, drug treatment, or jail time, for minor, non-criminal probation violations.

BOOKS AND BEYOND—Ask

BY BEN MALCZEWSKI

Each month for Ask Your Librarian we’ll field actual questions from library customers that also may be of interest to others in the Sylvania community. If you have a question you’d like to ask, email Sylvania Library Manager, Ben Malczewski at his really long address: ben.malczewski@toledolibrary.org Q. We attended your Grand Opening celebration and thought it was really great that you stayed open and participated in the First Friday Art Walk. Is there any chance this will continue?

A. Thank you for asking – the answer is yes!

There is such an amazing energy building in Downtown Sylvania and we are really excited about not only being a part of it, but doing what we can to propel it. Part of that is working with amazing community groups like the Downtown Sylvania Association and the Red Bird District First Friday Art Walks. We will extend our hours on Art Walk days until 7 p.m., and specifically offer fun activities for children and families. We’ve got some great ideas and are going to get involved with the Art Walk in some really cool ways, so stay tuned.

For the Nov. 2, Art Walk start at the Library with the Turkey Trail Sylvania first graders’ art contest at 5 p.m. We’ll announce the winner of Highland Elementary’s first grade contest then parade to the hosting locations to announce their school/class winners.

Your Librarian

Q. This may seem a kind of odd question, but I work in IT and because of that, during the holidays I get stuck doing tech support for pretty much ALL of my relatives. I saw on your outdoor sign that you have a program called Device Advice, and I guess what I’m asking is…will I be able to watch football this Thanksgiving?

A. Exactly. Yes, lean on us. While this isn’t perhaps THE specific reason we devised this service, please do refer your friends and relatives to Device Advice. As someone who, on occasion, has seemingly spent more time updating the printer or resurrecting a laptop from the Blue Screen of Death than with my actual family, I get it. Don’t wait for the holidays, and don’t let tech get in the way of turkey.

You are always welcome to visit the reference desk for help with your laptop, tablet, or phone (etc.) for help with any issues or to learn about library apps for eBooks, magazines, streaming music or videos, but yes, Device Advice sessions are dedicated times to provide free technology training to customers. Sessions are free and open to the public. No registration is necessary. Visit toledolibrary.org, and search for “device advice” on the Events page – you’ll see a number of upcoming sessions at both Sylvania locations. Oh, and, Go Lions! With the run game picking up I’m feeling pretty good about this year.

Public meeting draws large crowd

Sylvania City Council member Mark Frye highlights elements of the alternative plans to interested residents including Brian Yeager.

Joe Shaw of the city of Sylvania’s Public Service Department explains options to Ron Foley and Marie Campbell as City Councilman Mark Luetke looks on.

City council members Katie Cappellini and Sandy Husman look over the maps on display as Jean Hartline of Mannik Smith Group talks with Karen Naseef.

Over 160 people attended the city of Sylvania public meeting on Oct. 16 to learn about the upgrade for the US 23 and Monroe Street interchange. Meeting participants were encouraged to offer feedback about the alternatives for the upgrade.

“In 2007 ODOT commissioned a planning study to define a coherent overall strategy to improve I475-US23 highway system to meet the transportation needs through 2035. Last year, the city of Sylvania commissioned a study of the Sylvania interchange in conjunction with the ODOT strategic plan. The scope of the study was to review viable alternatives to improve safety and increase capacity,” explained Joe Shaw, P.E., P.S., Deputy Director, city of Sylvania, Department of Public Service.

“We are looking to improve the roads and intersections in this area to accommodate the increased traffic, keeping safety as the paramount issue,” he added. The Mannik Smith Group was hired and they developed Alternatives A and B, which were highlighted at the meeting.

Alternative A reduces the number of traffic signals within the interchange footprint from 4 down to 3. The key component to Alternative A is the northbound US-23 exit ramp splits traffic by destination. Vehicles with destinations west of US-23 split to the left and are taken to a new traffic signal just east of the Monroe Street bridge common to the US-23 northbound on ramp. Vehicles with destinations east of US-23 split to the right and are taken to a new traffic signal near

Seney Park. Alternative B further reduces the number of traffic signals within the interchange footprint from 4 down to 2. In this alternative, all northbound US-23 exit ramp vehicles are brought to a new, larger traffic signal common to both Alexis Road and Monroe Street near Seney Park.

In both Alternative A and B, four different options were presented to improve safety at Glasgow Road. Each option slightly adjusts the location of the intersection which also impacts the southbound US-23 off ramp loop. Also common to both alternatives is the widening of eastbound Monroe Street from two lanes to three lanes from west of Harroun Road to US-23 to increase capacity.

Meeting participants had the opportunity to make comments at the meeting and also have until mid-November to offer written comments.

“These public comments are very important in helping to define the preferred alternative. Our team was extremely pleased with the meeting and the great feedback we received,” noted Jean Hartline, vice president Mannik Smith Group and manager of the project. “We learned a lot, especially at the Alexis Road and Acres Road intersection, and have gone back to the drawing board after listening to the comments to reevaluate some of the design aspects. We will evaluate and integrate that feedback into the report.”

According to Hartline, this is just the beginning of the process. Once the design is finalized, funding for the project will be pursued, which will better define a timeline for construction.

What are you thankful for?

Armstrong Barn dedicated at Fall Festival

The barn in the Sylvania Historical Village housing the blacksmith area, classroom space and memorabilia of early Sylvania has been officially named the Armstrong Barn, in recognition of Bob and Joy Armstrong. A naming dedication ceremony followed the 33rd annual Fall Festival parade at the barn. Family, friends, Sylvania Historical Village board members and city officials attended the event to honor the and Armstrongs commemorate their long years of service to the Village and the city of Sylvania.

The Sylvania Town Crier Mike Lieber opened the ceremony with his traditional cry and ended the cry by thanking Mrs. Armstrong for all her help, especially with the eraappropriateness of his and her outfit c o n t i n u i n g encouragement for him throughout the years.

Sylvania Mayor Craig Stough opened the ceremonies by pointing out the historical significance of the Armstrong’s involvement with the Sylvania Historical Village. Emphasis on preserving the history of the community became a reality in 1990 with the birth of the historical society and the city’s subsequent purchase of the Cook/Kuhlman house in 1993, which was to become the Sylvania Heritage

Museum. The mayor noted that Bob Armstrong became the first president of the early historical society in 1992 and was named to the Historical Center advisory board the following year. Joy Armstrong served as a volunteer and did programming until she was named director of the Sylvania Historical Village in 1995.

“It was 25 years ago, during the Fall Festival of 1993, that we held an open house introducing the community to the Heritage Museum,” he remembered.

The mayor pointed out that during Mrs. Armstrong’s tenure, with help from her husband and several volunteers, the log cabin was purchased and moved to the village, the train depot was donated and moved, restrooms were constructed, the 1850s barn was built, the stone house school was constructed, the 1915 Engine 403 Baldwin Westinghouse Steeplecab electric locomotive was purchased and renovated, and the car barn was constructed. Mrs. Armstrong led the effort to produce a very successful community play, “Just Around the Bend.” She also orchestrated a large community celebration for Sylvania’s 175 year anniversary. Her primary passion though, was to bring history alive for the hundreds of children whose classes visited the

She coordinated a group of volunteers who assisted in offering countless historical presentations to school children throughout northwestern Ohio.

“Without their vision, without their enthusiasm, without their vigilance, this Historical Village would not have been possible,” Mayor Stough emphasized.

“The Armstrong roots run deep,” noted Mrs. Armstrong as she referenced the length of time the family has called Sylvania home. “The Armstrongs have been here for 178 years farming the land on what is today, Corey Road

Arthur Arthur Delos Reyes, MD

and the Franklin Park Mall.”

Today, there are descendants of those early Armstrongs living in Sylvania, actually three families on Summit St. and another on Maplewood Ave. “Discovering one’s past helps us to understand who we are as individuals and maybe see ourselves differently when we see our reflections in the mirror. Looking up ancestor’s records brings history and mystery together and brings families together,” she said.

“And, a great source of Sylvania’s history can be found in the series of books by Gayleen Gindy.”

Gets coached ...

A visit with Liz Thees, Life Coach

BY MARY HELEN DARAH

I recently worked with Liz Thees, co-owner of The Pinnacle in Maumee, for an event.

While talking with her, I learned she has discovered a calling to help women as a life coach. Her goal is to assist women through their life transitions, find their purpose and give them the power to take care of themselves.

Having been through a few transitions myself, I wanted to learn more. “As women, we are wives, daughters, and sisters and we lose sight of who we are,” stated Thees. “We forget how to take care of ourselves and when we do, we feel guilty about it.” Hmm, this sounded very familiar.

“Their health goes astray as kids, spouses and others come first,” she continued. “You can only do that for so long before it becomes a habit of putting others before self.” Thees believes that we are certainly here to help one another but as the airline saying states, “put your oxygen mask on first before assisting the person in the seat next to you.”

Thees is on a mission to help women build confidence and discover their self-worth.

“Women are taken for granted by so many that they start taking themselves for granted as well.

I’m here to combat that,” she stated.

Making it happen

Thees is a certified life coach. Certification is not required in the profession but she believes it is important to go through the process.

“Most of my training comes from life experience,” she said. “My career at the Pinnacle in banquet sales and catering greatly helped. Working with brides, mothers-of-thebrides, and event planners, often for periods lasting a year, I get to know the story of their lives. It is very stressful to plan a wedding or event. I have been coaching for a long time, I just didn’t realize it. Coaching is not telling people what to do. It’s giving them the power to make those decisions and have the confidence to do so. I also keep them accountable in regard to going forward with those decisions. We can change briefly but we have a tendency to go back to our old ways.

Through encouragement and support, I remind them that they can do it!”

Coming up with a plan

The life coach does an initial complimentary consultation to find out what her client’s needs and wants are and develops an individualized schedule. “It could be monthly, bi-weekly, or in my case, hourly. It

16A | FIRST NOVEMBER 2018 | YOURGOOD.NEWS

depends on the individual and where they are in their journey,” she explained. “Every person is different. I ask a lot of questions. Answering those questions helps determine where they want to go and their priorities. What are you saying ‘yes’ to and in what circumstances is it difficult to say ‘no.’ Let’s face it, in many cases guilt plays a huge role. I help people live their truth and help them discover what is important. I have people ask themselves when they are confronted with committing to something, ‘Does this serve me?’ If it doesn’t, why are you agreeing to it? Women are someone for somebody else most of the time and lose sight of themselves. I give clients tools to use daily such as keeping a journal, meditating, and helping them to recognize what they appreciate in life. Also, at the end of every day I have them write down five things that they appreciate and how would they like to wake up tomorrow? What we say to ourselves before we go to sleep helps put us in a better place in the morning. That’s why your grandmother told you to never to go to bed angry!”

Go toward the goals

Thees believes that people relate to goals but tend to focus on their work or family goals instead of personal ones. “One of my goals is to take regular walks and be in the moment,” she stated. “I used to do what I like to call ‘sleep walking.’ An important part of the process is living in the moment. Often, we are unaware of the beauty of our surroundings. Living in the ‘now’ means not living in the ‘what’s next.’

Everything doesn’t have to be perfectly planned out.”

It is usually at this point in the conversation that I ask people I’m visiting with what they think the future holds, AKA “what’s next?”

Speaking with Thees was no exception.

Obviously the “living in the now” discussion did not sink in on my end. That being said, I learned that hosting group coaching sessions for women is on her horizon. “I want women to have a sense of community and collaboration,” she said. “The other thing I would like to do is have retreats. My journey in coaching began on a retreat in California. Why do we have to go so far away to get peace and to find our bliss?”

As a woman who is transitioning through having a vacated nest and massive amounts of mid-life “ponderings,” I couldn’t agree more.

Thees is currently taking new clients. You may reach her at 419-290-0720 or email liz@lizthees.com or visit liztheescoaching.com.

Mother Plucker opens in Select Salon

Cassandra Stansley waxing brother Branden Stansley.

Esthetician, artist and workout devotee Cassandra Stansley has opened her own business, Mother Plucker, at 5221 Monroe St., Suite 121, in Select Salon Studios where she joins entrepreneurial hair stylists and other beauty specialists.

“Some time ago, I jotted down the name 'Mother Plucker' in my sketchbook as a potential name I could use for a business,” Stansley noted. “That name just popped into my head and it stuck.”

She continued, “I have always wanted to have my own business, especially where I can combine my passion for skin care, art and fitness. Now, I can control my schedule, allowing time for me to work out, something that is very important to me. And, I can take time for my art, which is ever present in my new location.”

In fact, Stansley has been featuring her art work with various skin care procedures, eye lash lifts and other esthetician procedures on Instagram and her web site. “I have been able to show a progression of my paintings along with esthetician procedures and I’m able to keep it fun,” she said.

Stansley, also a fitness advocate, plans to talk with others who share her passion. “Girls on the go, who take time to workout and stay fit, usually don’t want to spend a lot of time with

makeup. They will benefit from the services I offer,” she noted.

These services include microblading, an eyebrow tattoo, lash lift, lash and brow tinting, facials and dermaplane. In addition, she offers mini facials, facial extractions and massages.

Stansley also offers a full menu of waxing services, including full body waxing along with beard waxing for men who also receive a steam towel and moisturizer as part of the service.

According to Stansley, her favorite service is eyelash lifting. “This is like a little perm for lashes, which serves as an alternative to eyelash extensions,” she noted. “The difference from before to after is really amazing. This procedure opens up your eyes and really can make a huge impact.”

She added, “I am a state-licensed esthetician and have several additional certifications. I plan to become certified on additional facial machines.” She is a graduate of Aveda Institute Columbus, following receiving her BFA degree from Lourdes University, Stansley views all that she does as an extension of her creativity. “This is what I have wanted to do for a long time. I used to love watching instructional videos about waxing and other beauty procedures and I was always taking care of my friends’ eyebrows,” Stansley reflected.

Bambino’s Pizza & Subs celebrates one year anniversary on Main Street in Sylvania

Hellal and Iman Joseph Hellal Joseph is having a busy fall. He opened his third Bambino’s Pizza & Subs at 3150 Navarre Ave. on Sept. 28 in a former pizza location. Meanwhile, he and his staff are also celebrating the one year anniversary of his Sylvania location at 5155 Main St. His first location is at 1515 Eleanor Ave. “I was planning to open my third location some time in the near future but this territory became available,” Joseph noted.

“The Sylvania store has exceeded my expectations so I was able to take the opportunity and open the Oregon location ahead of schedule.”

“The Sylvania community has really supported us. People do enjoy our pizza,” Joseph pointed out. “We have been fortunate to be able to be actively involved in Northview and Southview events. We have also teamed up with Lourdes University and accept Lourdes ‘flex’ dollars, which students really like.

He continued, “In addition, students appreciate the fact that we are open daily from 11 a.m. to midnight. This is a great centralized location and our delivery options are good. And we continue to be excited to be part of the Sylvania family.”

Joseph, no stranger to the food industry, has worked in several family restaurants since he was 16 years old, learning every facet of the business. “Four years ago, a Bambino’s Pizza location became available in West Toledo and my wife, Iman, and I made the decision to take the risk and buy

Weber Clark: a new name but the same firm

“We have a new name but the firm’s values have stayed the same and our services for our clients have expanded,” said Jim Weber, founding partner of the 30-year-old local firm, now named Weber Clark. The new partnership includes Jim Weber, Bret Clark and Steven Weber along with members of the leadership team, Gary Sartain, Robert Falk, Debbie Szajna and Mary Johnston and many others that provide outstanding client services. “As we have always done, we all work together to make sure our clients are winning the game,” Weber emphasized.

“In most cases, accounting firms serve as historians. They talk about what has happened and do not look ahead. Yesterday is done but you can change tomorrow, We like to sit down with our clients and ask them ‘What are you going to do?’ And then we ask ‘What if ... ? What are your goals, now, a year from now, five years from now?’ to get them to begin thinking ahead,” Weber explained.”Our clients are always looking for ways to be better and we think we can help them do that.”

According to Weber, this philosophy is shared by the other members of the firm.

“We are all proactive and are idea- and solution-focused. We bring information and choices to our clients,” he stated. “We accommodate the different style of each of our clients.”

Weber continued, “However, our bottom line is to have our clients be amazingly successful. The word ‘quality’ represents our

vision for and of the firm. We emphasize quality in all that we do. We have the best people, the best ideas, the best strategies, the best solutions and the best clients,” Weber assured.

Since its inception in 1988, the firm has always offered tax assurance and consulting services, which includes Mergers and Acquisitions; Succession Planning; Debt and Financing; Industry Benchmarking; Cash Flow and Budgeting; Litigation Support; and Financial Planning. The firm plans to include business valuation services in 2019.

The firm is also an original member of BDO Alliance USA, a nationwide association of independently owned and operated local and regional accounting firms affiliated with similar client service goals. The firm serves clients through 58 offices and more than 400 independent Alliance firm locations nationwide. As an independent Member Firm of BDO International Limited, BDO serves multi-national clients through a global network of 1,328 offices in 151 countries.

“BDO allows us to offer our clients expert advice anywhere in the world where they may be doing business,” Weber said. “We make it a point to align with the very best where our clients are concerned.”

Weber Clark is located at 5580 Monroe St. Currently, there are 40 members of the firm including the technology services group, ACT.

First Federal Bank and First Insurance Group to fund ‘Pay it Forward’ ideas

20A | FIRST NOVEMBER 2018 | YOURGOOD.NEWS

First Federal Bank and First Insurance Group have kicked off their annual Pay it Forward celebrations and are now accepting submitted ideas on how to allocate $10,000 in funding. The bank and agency will review project ideas that aim to spread kindness in local communities through Nov. 14.

“Building better communities requires a collaboration of our employees, our resources and our community members. When we work together to improve the lives of others, the impact is amplified,” said Donald P. Hileman, CEO and President of First Defiance Financial Corp.

A “Pay It Forward” is a random act of kindness that spurs others to continue the cycle of giving. These acts can be as simple as providing sleeping bags to the homeless, donating school supplies for children in need or helping to start or complete a community project.

As part of their Pay it Forward Day celebrations, the businesses will also give each employee $10 to perform their own Pay it Forward. The goal is to perform nearly 700

Pay it Forwards on Nov. 14. “Our Pay it Forward Day allows our teams and others to be directly involved with our commitment to better our communities and to inspire others to make a difference,” said Hileman.

Last year, First Federal Bank and First Insurance Group funded 12 Pay it Forward projects that ranged from purchasing cribs for expecting mothers who live below the federal poverty line to purchasing a commercial refrigerator and stove for the Believe Center in South Toledo, so they could continue to provide free, hot meals to over 2,000 children each year.

To submit a Pay it Forward idea or project for consideration fill out the form on the Bank’s website at first-fed.com/payitforward with your name, contact information and project details. The submission period will run through Nov.14. Multiple ideas will be selected and announced the first week of December.

All of the chosen recipients and ideas will be announced on First Federal Bank’s Facebook page at facebook.com/1stFederalBank/.

Eat Healthy, Live Well is theme of new Mediterranean Bistro The father and son team, Nabil and Jamal Shaheen, have teamed with long-time restaurateur Nick Chamoun to open Bite Me Twice, a Mediterranean Bistro at 2007 N. Holland-Sylvania Ave., just south of Bancroft St. “Several years ago, a former customer of mine introduced me to a very successful restaurant in Canada named Bite Me Twice.

The restaurant featured all fresh quality ingredients and everything was delicious. I decided that if I were ever to open a restaurant, I would name it the same,” Nabil Shaheen remembered.

When the space became available that the Shaheens leased, they invited Chamoun to join them in opening their new restaurant.

“Nick has an excellent reputation and his food is well known. He uses only the highest quality, fresh ingredients,” Nabil said.

Chamoun, a Lebanese culinary school graduate, also trained in France. He has spent the last 19 years in the restaurant business, the past 10 as the owner of the Aladdin Restaurant near the Franklin Park Mall. “We use only the highest quality ingredients and offer healthy menu items,

many of which are gluten-free. We also have many vegan and vegetarian items and can accommodate special dietary requests,” Chamoun stated. “We do truly believe that to eat healthy is to live well, as our tag line reads.”

“While Nabil named the restaurant after one of his favorite eateries, the name is also reminiscent of a grandmother encouraging a loved one to take another bite. And the shaft of wheat in our name in the logo is also symbolic of good health,” Jamal said.

The menu reflects the owner’’ emphasis on healthy eating. Only olive oil is used in the Mediterranean appetizers, side dishes, salads and entrees. In addition, a large selection of rolled pitas and pita pizzas are available. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free items are marked on the menu for customer convenience.

The new restaurant is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11a.m. to 10 p.m. for healthy lunches and dinners. The restaurant can accommodate up to 80 patrons.

Sylvania Sizzle Simmer Sauté

BY JENNIFER RUPLE

Sylvania native Casey Johnson has spent the last 12 years learning the ropes of the restaurant industry. In August, he returned to town to fulfill the role of Chef de cuisine at 5th Street Pub in Sylvania. “My primary Jennifer Ruple focus is on building the leadership team in the kitchen and getting them back on track after a bit of a staff turnover,” he said. Johnson will bring his management skills to oversee the Sylvania restaurant as well as its sister restaurants, 5th Street Pub in Perrysburg and Luckie’s Barn and Grill in Oregon.

Johnson received his training at the Culinary Institute of America in New York. Since then he has worked in various positions throughout the food industry. Most recently he served as corporate executive chef at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio where he oversaw ten dining halls, concessions, the dietary department and was chief sanitarian. He also managed the catering department which provided food for 80 to 100 weddings a year. Prior to the university position, Johnson worked as a sous chef at Mancy’s Italian Grill for three years. He also served as the food and beverage director for over two years at the Hilton Garden Inn in Findlay, Ohio.

For Johnson, a 2006 graduate of Sylvania Northview High School, the decision to become a chef didn’t happen right away.

“Truthfully, it was out of the blue that I went from wanting to be a zoologist to an architect to a chef,” Johnson said. “I was really getting into the glamour of the Food Network. Then I joined the food industry and fell in love with it,” he added. In 2005 while still in high school, Johnson got a job as a dishwasher and later became a line cook, which was the hands-on experience he needed to be accepted into culinary school.

“I really want to welcome Casey back to the community,” said Bruce Rahe, 5th Street Pub’s executive chef and culinary partner. “Our team was missing an arm, and Casey was that arm.

For him to have that impressive of a resume at a young age, he can bring a lot of opportunities for us. We want to be able to grow our

Parmesan Risotto with Butternut Squash

restaurants with our goals and mission and his knowledge,” he explained.

In addition to providing assistance to the executive chef, Johnson has several personal goals. “My passion within the industry is a bigger drive of farm to table. I’m really trying to push locality,” he said. “If chefs did that more, we could really help the planet.” Johnson admits that the restaurant business is tough, especially for women. “It’s a harsh industry, and my drive is to work from the inside on how chefs treat employees with more respect and fairness. I want to make this industry a safe industry for women and my daughter one day.”

When Johnson is not at work, he’s busy spending time with his wife Erin and 2 ½-yearold daughter Elizabeth, hiking, taking photographs and cooking … Italian food, of course. “Italian is by far my favorite cuisine.

The Italians have a true passion and respect for the ingredients, as opposed to the French who are about controlling the recipe,” explained Johnson. “I love making fresh pastas. I’m dabbling in breads and I love risotto. I live my life on carbohydrates,” he laughed. “Food is my hobby and passion, but it’s also my career and my love.”

Thank you to Chef Johnson for sharing two of his favorite autumn recipes. Enjoy!

This is with the growth and development of a child.

Children are developing a sense of self during these years. We want to create lifelong learners.”

Tina Grabarczyk, counselor at Maplewood Elementary, began her career in elementary education. “I taught fifth grade for 15 years then went into school counseling,” she stated.

“As a teacher you are continually problem solving. Sylvania has a great curriculum for counselors so I still feel like I am teaching but doing a great deal of one on one preventative work.”

“I went straight into school counselling after graduating in psychology and getting a master’s,” stated Andrea Hoffman, of Sylvan Elementary. “I wanted to be in a school environment and related well with kids. It’s my calling. I was a very anxious child. I understand what a lot of kids are going through. I ‘get’ those kids and it helps me to help them. I love my job. It’s a perfect fit for me.”

Renee Stack is the school counselor for Stranahan Elementary. She has a background in psychology and worked with kids with autism. “I realized school counseling was a perfect fit. In my childhood there were people in the schools assisting me and my family during times of struggles,” said Stack. “I remember the people that helped me and wanted to be that person for other kids. I try to pay it forward every day.”

Alex Thornton, counselor at Hill View Elementary, comes from a long line of teachers.

“My mom and sister are teachers and I always knew I wanted to be in a school setting,” she stated. “I wanted to work with kids over a long period of time instead of just one year. My kindergartners who started with me are now in third grade. It is very rewarding to witness their development. I also work on transitioning students through middle school. It is so gratifying to see that growth.”

Stack is concerned that demand and need surpass the number of counselors available in the system. “The American School Counselor Association recommends one counselor to 250 students. At this point in the elementary level range, the number varies from 1 to 337 to 1 to 701, which is obviously more than double, but still one counselor covers both ranges,” stated Stack. “The population has changed over the past 10 years. There is diversity, social economic needs and mental health needs that we address. We have kids that are homeless, kids living in poverty, and kids living in multimillion-dollar homes in the same classroom.

We need to meet everyone’s needs. With additional funding we could provide preventative services at a young age, as well as mediation for students and families in need.

Our goal is that every child that walks through our door experiences an incredible learning day and becomes a lifelong learner.”

Our Schools Need Your Support on Issue #7 that nurtures them and provides us more security in an effort to avoid the unthinkable ... Safe Schools=A Safe Sylvania! consequences other communities have ADAM FINESKE

SUPERINTENDENT SPEAKS The K-12 schooling experience across our country has evolved in the past decade, bringing us new and some alarming challenges each day. These challenges force us to recognize increased threats Adam Fineske to school safety and security and increased mental health needs in our children. As parents, educators, and community members who care for the children in our community, we have no choice but to face these challenges head on.

For many years, Sylvania Schools has been a leader in school safety and security work, and we pride ourselves on the strides we have made. Since 2011, our district safety and security committee, a team of teachers, administrators, parents, police officers, firefighters and emergency responders, along with local government leaders, has met monthly to address the increasing safety and security needs in our schools. The implementation of A.L.I.C.E. training for staff, students, and parents, the installation of lexan glass and door restraints in all of our schools, the designation and renovation of safe rooms fully stocked and in place in each building, and a strong focus on mental health awareness have all been successfully accomplished. But, this feeling of accomplishment and any lessening of vigilance it brought was challenged on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2018.

This was a day no educators will ever forget.

The unfortunate tragedy of Parkland, Florida raised an alarm like no other to school districts all across the country, including Sylvania. A sudden and very boisterous cry from our own community began. That message was clear, “We want you to do more to keep our kids safe!� It rang loudly at every school building, community event, and public space across Sylvania. As a school district, we knew we had to continue our trend in leadership and meet this challenge by developing a plan to answer the community’s cry.

Our schools are safe, but they must be safer.

We encourage you to learn more about Issue #7 to see how, with your support, we can make our schools even safer to prevent tragedies like those in Parkland. With the passage of Issue #7, a special levy that is designed specifically to support safety, security, and mental health needs, collected funds will allow the district to hire three additional school resource uniformed Sylvania police officers, one for each junior high school, bringing our total, with one at each high school already, to five overall in our schools. The funds will add mental health support to all of our buildings at all levels in the form of additional school counselors, social workers, and mental health specialists. They will enable us to install state of the art security cameras both internally and externally in all of our schools. And they will help us provide the most up-to-date safety training possible for our staff. Issue #7 is a 0.9 mill special levy and will cost the homeowner of an average home in Sylvania ($191,000) $5.26 a month, or around $63.00 a year. It is a small price to pay for the increased security it will bring to the schools and the community

endured through school related tragedies.

Sylvania Schools need your support. Issue #7 is not just about making our schools safer, but it is truly about making Sylvania safer. Our kids are our future. Sylvania must continue to

be at the forefront as a school district, face our challenges head on, and remain a community that is proactive, not reactive, to school safety.

Please help us to be the Sylvania that strives to be the safest community in Northwest Ohio to live, learn, and raise a family!

Safe Schools = A Safe Sylvania.

Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth...

BY KILLEEN FRENCH-HILL

If you took a stroll toward the northern part of Main Street in Sylvania, you would likely discover The Village Candy Shoppe. Tucked in back of the Sylvania Historical Village museum, this shop is devoted to old-fashioned candies and children of every size and age. The shop’s owner, Pat Wahl, welcomes all visitors with a warm heart.

Although this shop sells a variety of candy, it also offers some other fascinating items. One unusual item is known as Boxed Water. It may not be popular, but that doesn’t suggest it isn’t a worthy purchase. At my most recent visit I

tested this product. It proved to be a worthy purchase. Even though this is simply purified spring water packaged in a paper-made carton, it guarantees to offer a refreshing taste. This customer was more than satisfied. What I enjoyed most of all about this item is that the container is made from a renewable resource, a tree.

Apart from being a building full of sugar, this shop has one exceptional benefit; it is designed to give children a sense of independence. Children are encouraged to wander around the shop, select the sweet of their own choice, and place it in a small basket.

When finished, Ms. Wahl adds up the cost, making sure that it is within the customer’s budget. If the child’s purchases are above budget, Ms. Wahl will gently point out that fact. Ms. Wahl is so detailed and seeks customer satisfaction, that she even allows people to select their own take home bag for their goods.

Ms. Wahl knows how to get a return customer!

Sylvania–Then and Now

BY GAYLEEN GINDY LOOKING BACK

For this article we are going to head out into Sylvania Township, way out west, to the northeast corner of Brint and Mitchaw. It wasn’t until recently that I rediscovered the lonely little farmhouse, barns and out buildings that seem to have been forgotten here. You may remember that there was also another barn that sat here for many years until the roof literally caved in and it was removed from the property, piece by piece, in 2016. If there was ever a property in Sylvania that looked haunted, I think this is it. Besides, there aren’t too many places left in Sylvania Township that the ghosts of our earliest past would recognize and could still call home.

First of all, starting in the late 1800s to early 1900s this area of the western part of Sylvania Township was known as Mitchaw. (The town was named and then the road was named.)

Back in the days when travel wasn’t like it is today, and farming families spent most of their time in their homes and on their farms, community events were important. In the “Town of Mitchaw,” which centered around the corner of Brint and Mitchaw Roads, residents soon established their own post office, school, church, grocery store and their own Grange hall where community events were held and families met to promote farming and family activities. Our subject, a 38 acre parcel of land located on this corner, was part of that town and just so happened to stay intact from 1863 until now. The following are the recorded owners over the years: Oct. 27,1863 - Thomas J. Greenaway, Sr. – 38.3 acres Jan. 7, 1913 – Thomas J. Greenaway, Jr. Oct. 6, 1920 – Frank Nichols Sept. 21, 1921 – Wanda Kolasinski Sept. 29, 1922 – Cecil P. Krieg Sept. 29, 1922 – Anna M. Thompson Dec. 11, 1935 – H. Randolph Thompson Oct. 10, 1973 – Edwin Randolph Thompson May 20, 2004 – Edwin R. Thompson, Trustee Aug. 31, 2011 – Paul Thompson, Successor Trustee Sept. 23, 2014 – Paul Thompson Oct. 16, 2014 – Paul and Jane Thompson The Greenaway family owned this property for 67 years. They lived here, farmed the land and raised their families here. Thomas J. and Harriet Taylor Greenaway came to the United States in 1852 from England with their three young children. They purchased property in Sylvania Township in 1855 on the west side of

Mitchaw. They apparently lived on this property, and had three more children while living there. In 1863 Mr. Greenaway purchased 38 acres here on the northeast corner of Brint and Mitchaw, and at that time he constructed his home on this property.

Although county records show that this house was constructed in 1887, when the 1875 map was prepared, it does show that there was a house on this property already. In numerous instances I have found that when an existing home was extensively remodeled or an addition added, the county changed the date of construction of the home to reflect the updated year. It is my belief that the original portion of this home was built just after the Civil War. The Greenaway family is listed living in Sylvania Township in the 1860, 1870 and 1880 census. The 1890 census was destroyed by fire and is not available. In 1899 Thomas Greenaway, Sr. passed away. His Last Will and Testament gives this home and farmland to his son, Thomas Greenaway, Jr., with a life estate for his wife Harriet. By the 1900 census Mr. Greenaway, Jr., and his wife Elizabeth were living here with their children: Bessie, Roscoe and Glenn.

In the 1910 census Thomas and Elizabeth Greenaway were still living here at this corner.

He was listed as 52 years old and a farmer, while Elizabeth was listed as 49 years old.

Living in the home was his mother, Harriet Greenaway – widowed – 83 years old, who at this point still legally owned this property.

Harriet Greenaway died in 1912. Her obituary notice said that she died at the home of her son Thomas J. Greenaway, Jr. at Mitchaw. She was 85 years old, and out of her six children, the only surviving children were Thomas, Jr., who resided in the home, and her daughter Mrs. Harriet Stebbins Hawkins, who lived in Toledo.

Thomas Greenaway, Jr. and his family lived here until 1920 when they retired from farming, sold the property and moved to the Village of Sylvania. There were three owners that owned the home and land for less than one year each and then Anna M. Thompson purchased it.

Anna was the wife of James Thadeus Thompson. Mr. Thompson lived here from 1922 until he died in 1932. His wife Anna lived here from 1922 until she died in 1934. Their son Henry Randolph Thompson and his wife Johanna Krieger Thompson moved here in 1922 with his parents, and they had one son, Edwin Thompson.

Edwin Thompson was born in 1919, moved here in 1922, graduated from Sylvania’s Burnham High School in 1937 and

1939 married Marie Westrick in 1944. In 1973, after his mother died, his father transferred this property into Edwin’s name. According to his obituary notice Edwin’s father, James Thadeus Thompson, continued to live here until 1978, and at that time Mr. Thompson was moved to Lake Park Nursing Home, and passed away there in 1985. His son Edwin continued to own the property.

Edwin owned this property for 38 years, passing away in 2011. Records show that Edwin did not live here while he owned it, and his obituary notice said that he lived on Central Avenue and was a partner of Central Farm Store, an International Harvester tractor dealership. He also worked as a farmer and

1998

2006

2018 mechanic, retiring from Refiners Transport in 1986. His obituary notice also said that he loved gardening and was especially proud of his grapes, asparagus and apples, and was a life-long member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, a member of the American Legion Diehn Post 468 and the Lucas County Farm Bureau.

The property and home are currently owned by Edwin’s son and daughter-in-law, Paul and Jane Thompson. Zoning records show numerous complaints from surrounding neighbors regarding the vacant buildings on the property, but each time after the zoning officers inspected the property it was determined that as long as the buildings were secured, and no trespassing signs were posted, there were no violations. Someday this 38 acre parcel will be sold and will eventually

2018 have 50 or more new homes on it. I just wanted to document the sad lonely buildings of this “ghost farm” before they disappear.

CRAIG STOUGH MAYOR’S MESSAGE

Downtown Sylvania continues to be a major focal point for our community. The Fall Festival was held on Sunday, Oct. 21 with thousands of people in attendance on a cool autumn day.

The main feature of the festival was the parade. The festival also featured live entertainment, food vendors, pumpkin carving, pie baking, donut eating challenges and dino races. My thanks and congratulations to Michelle Sprott and the Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce for their wonderful efforts, again making this a great event for Sylvania.

TOWNSHIP TOPICS

Leaf collection underway

Sylvania Township’s road department crews have begun the annual chore of leaf collection from the front of properties in the township and they will remain focused on that job until December.

There are 174 miles of roadway within Sylvania Township and that adds up to a lot of leaves and a lot of work. The most efficient collection method, according to Rob Nash, road superintendent, is to use a large vacuum tube attached to a truck which is used to collect the leaves. A crew member walks behind the slow-moving truck vacuuming the leaves.

Residents can help by making sure the leaves they rake or blow to the roadside are clear of branches and garden debris which can harm the machinery.

Keeping to a strict schedule is difficult, Nash said. Factors, such as when Mother Nature decides to release the most leaves is one component as is general weather conditions.

Collecting a pile of leaves is made a good deal more difficult when they are soaking wet or have frozen areas. If necessary, the township may use a contractor which can use trucks and front-end loaders to remove the leaf piles.

Leaves cleared from the yard should be

Joy and Bob Armstrong, recognizing all they have done for the Historical Village just north of the downtown. Their efforts were critical to the success of establishing and growing the Historical Village into what it is today.

There is a Downtown Delight Shopping night scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 8, a 5K Run on Sunday, Dec. 2 and the Miracle on Main celebration along with the Red Bird Art Walk the weekend of December 7-9, which includes the arrival of Santa Claus.

The city will be lighting a new holiday tree this year for Downtown. The official tree is moving from the corner park at Maplewood and Main Streets to the Historical Village next to the train barn. That lighting will take place the evening of Friday, Dec. 7.

Soon we will again see the wonderful holiday lights that the Chamber of Commerce helped add to our downtown last year. The lights will be turned on for the season at the Red Bird Art Walk on Friday, Nov. 2.

New businesses continue to move into downtown Sylvania, most recently Wildwood Anglers and Sunika Shoe Store. Further, downtown building owners continue to invest in and improve their properties. Haymarket placed alongside, but not in the roadway and, Mr. Nash added, they should not be placed in bags.

Residents again this year will be able to track progress by going to the township website and locating a map divided into grids. Locate the property, then call the township leaf-collection hot line at 419-517-1620. A recording, updated daily, will state where collection has taken place and where crews are expected to be working next.

Some property owners have begun to make the chore a little easier on the crews by using a mulching mower and simply mowing over the fallen leaves to provide nutrients to their lawns over the winter. Several studies have found it is a beneficial way of dealing with fallen leaves as well as lawn enrichment.

The last township-wide sweep is scheduled to start Dec. 1.

Household item pickup

The annual pickup of Sylvania Township household items reached a record of over 144 tons, according to a report made by Rob Nash, superintendent of the road department, to township trustees. The cost of this year’s collection was also a record of nearly $60,000.

Stevens Disposal and Recycling was the only bidder for the job this year at a base rate of $400 per ton.

Nash said he has urged other refusecollection companies to bid on the annual

Historical Village Receives Grant from DAR

L-R: Fort Industry Daughters of the American Revolution Chapter Regent Brenda Corr, Ohio DAR Vice-Regent Kathy Dixon and Andi Erbskorn, executive director of Sylvania Historical Village. The Fort Industry Chapter of DAR, held its monthly meeting at the Sylvania Heritage Museum. The chapter was successful in securing a special projects grant award from the National Society of the DAR of $3,130 to purchase furnishings for the parlor room in the Heritage Museum. An antique settee, lace curtains and rug were purchased with the funds.

Square just improved its parking lot and Element 112 is planning on some improvements to its banquet space. Inside the Five is looking at ways to improve and expand its successful new venue.

The intersection of Main and Monroe and the new streetscape look great after the reconstruction work undertaken this past summer. Except for installing the crosswalk markings and painting the traffic light poles,

the work is nearly complete and should be done soon.

All in all, our Sylvania downtown continues to grow in vitality and appeal, drawing more and more people into our community for festivals, art walks, special events, shopping, dining, services and more. Thank you to all the downtown organizations and downtown businesses for making Sylvania a better place to live, work and raise a family.

service for township residents, but has so far been unsuccessful. He noted that other companies are tailored, in terms of equipment and manpower, to service their regular customers and aren’t able to take on the extra chore of collecting discarded household items from every street in the township. He has no criticism of the quality of the work done by Stevens, but, he said, the price is becoming an issue. In 2016, the cost to the township was $25,658. Last year Stevens charged $47,312 and this year the cost was $59,984.

At an earlier meeting of the trustees, Nash said he may look into providing large dumpsters for the use of homeowners to get rid of their unwanted items. He added that he will continue to try to create a situation where there can be competing bids for the annual service.

Sylvania Ave. and 8739 West Sylvania Ave., is for future development of a planned light manufacturing and warehouse facility, according to Karlene Henderson, township planning and zoning manager.

In recommending approval, she noted that the light industrial classification is in line with the township’s recently approved land use plan.

She added that the light industrial use would be compatible with surrounding property uses.

John McHugh, an attorney representing the property owner, said that development of the land would be “market driven.” He added that to say development would be within two years would be too optimistic, but to say five years would be too pessimistic.

Representative named

Sylvania Township trustees have named Austin Serna as their representative to the Sylvania Arts Commission. Because the appointment came late in the year, trustees have made the appointment effective through 2019. He is graduate of Southview High School and the University of Toledo. He also has a graduate degree from Bowling Green State University.

He is an election technology manager for the Lucas County Board of Elections.

The Sylvania Township zoning commission has approved a requested zone change for Sylvania Avenue property east of Herr Road.

How to Check Your Internet Speed

Ever feel like your Internet is running slow?

Web pages seem sluggish while uploads and downloads take forever?

It’s very frustrating, Janis Weber especially when you pay for high-speed Internet. Many things can cause websites and emails to load slowly. It could be your browser, your computer or a website problem. It’s not always the same issue causing your system to run slowly.

Internet slowdowns on home networks could mean a variety of things, not just throttling. Sometimes there’s a problem with the site that you are trying to visit. Other times the problem is with your Internet connection. But how can you pinpoint the issue?

The first thing that you need to check is your Internet connection speed, preferably with multiple services. With a wired connection, go to a reliable Internet speedtesting site, run their tools, then compare the results with your Internet provider’s advertised speed for your plan. (Rates are usually in Mbps). While doing this, make sure no one in your home is doing bandwidth-hogging tasks like file downloads, file sharing, video streaming, video chats, etc. You don’t want any activity within your control to be interfering with the results. What speed is right for you? With almost every provider, there are different tiers of Internet speed rates to choose from.

The cheaper the plan, the slower your connection will be. Depending on your

activities, is your Internet connection fast enough? Or are you paying for bandwidth that you don’t need?

Here’s an outline of what speed you should aim for based on your needs: 1-3 Mbps - Good enough for web surfing, email, social, casual online gaming (if you don’t mind some latency) and email.

However, this is not ideal for video streaming.

3-4 Mbps - The slowest possible speed you need for standard video streaming from services like Netflix. This may be enough for a one-computer household but with all the HD content that’s available on the web right now, this will lead to constant video buffering.

5-10 Mbps - Netflix recommends at least 5 Mbps for a single HD stream and you’ll double that for two simultaneous HD streams. Although this is the baseline speed that is required for HD content, it could still lead to buffering, especially if you have multiple connected gadgets at home.

10-20 Mbps - This is the lowest speed you should aim for if you want a consistent and reliable internet experience. If you constantly download files from the web and cloud storage services, get a plan with this advertised speed at the very least.

20 Mbps and beyond - Now we’re talking.

Households with multiple computers and gadgets, video streaming services, smart appliances and simultaneous users should aim for at least a 20 Mbps plan. Most providers can accommodate this speed with their mid-tier Internet plans. If you are paying for substantially more than 30, you may be paying too much for a speed you don’t need.

Is your connection up to snuff? Now that you have an idea what Internet speed is required for certain activities and tasks, is your actual bandwidth close enough to your provider’s advertised speed? It’s time for a

This service can measure your connection’s ping response, download and upload speeds from a remote server. What is a ping? This measures how fast you get a response back from the test server. A fast ping means a more responsive connection. As for download and upload speeds, measurements are given in bits per second. Higher numbers are better. Download speeds will typically be much faster than upload speeds. The download number is most important for streaming and Internet access. The upload is for sending files up to a website or cloud. You can also compare these numbers against the speeds that your Internet service provider promises you. Be sure to run multiple tests over several days at different times. This will give you an overall picture of your connection speed. You also might find specific periods when it’s slow, depending on your area’s network congestion.

DR. BOB ESPLIN IN THE LICK OF TIME One of the great things about being a general practice veterinarian is the fact that no two days are the same. On any given day I get to be a pediatrician, a surgeon, a gerontologist, a psychologist, a dentist and oh yes, a boss. So don’t scratch my veneer very hard as it is spread pretty thin. To that end let’s touch lightly on some pet care advice.

For more details I suggest you schedule an appointment with your pet’s doctor.

Bad breath in a dog or cat is a sign of periodontal disease.

That means your pet is past due for a complete oral health evaluation and treatment. Brushing your pet’s teeth every day is critical to managing its dental health.

Nothing else works as well.

Pet food with lots of protein doesn’t make it better, just more expensive. There is no way to know the quality of protein in a food by reading the label. Do not buy a food that doesn’t say the food has been put through a feeding trial, not just a lab test.

Cats are carnivores, which means that they have high protein and fat requirements and low carbohydrate needs. Dry cat food should have 10-15 percent carbohydrates.

Cats should be fed a diet of equal amounts of

canned and dry food.

The CDC and CAPC both recommend that dogs and cats receive heartworm, flea and tick preventives monthly year round. I have seen ticks on dogs in the winter. Ticktransmitted diseases are serious. The CDC estimates there will be100,000 new human cases of tick-borne Lyme disease this year in the US. We are so lucky to have great preventives and Lyme disease vaccine for our dogs.

A flea comb with short, strong metal teeth is a great grooming tool for cats. Work in layers and you will remove hair that if left can lead to mats.

Cats are not vomiters. Hairballs do not cause vomiting in cats. If your cat vomits more than twice a month it needs to be evaluated for a problem. The easiest change is to stop feeding a diet high in fish and organ meats. If you try a food change it must have totally different ingredients than the previous diet.

Neutering or spaying a large breed dog before physical and sexual maturity might have serious consequences. Increases in joint diseases and three types of cancer have been noted in early age altered dogs. I think some of these concerns also apply to small breed dogs and cats but there have been no published studies.

Birds should not be fed a diet of strictly seeds. A seed only diet can lead to fatty liver and other nutritionally related problems.

Rabbits should not be fed only pellets.

Feeding high-quality Timothy hay is critical to a rabbit’s intestinal health.

Except in giant breeds of dogs, if your pet weighs more than it did at one year old it is probably overweight. To lose weight it must be fed for its ideal weight, not some let’s-tryto-lose-a-little-to-get-started plan. Think no more than 15 calories times their ideal weight per day of total calories, not just the pet food.

commonalities and perhaps even (gasp) friendship. The words of country singer Kenny Chesney come to mind every time I walk into my work space, “Call your mom, buy a boat, drink a beer, make a friend, can’t we all get along.”

Checks and balances

I have a framed poster in my home office that I have had since high school, which makes it a decade old. I’ll give you a moment to step back before the lightening strikes. I got it on a trip to Washington D.C. from a restaurant called Clyde’s. The pub has been around for over 50 years and is historically known for being the hot spot

It seems lately that the sharing of ideas, along with our system of checks and balances that was so brilliantly designed by our country’s founding fathers, is not something being toasted. I’m a big believer in “checking” and maintaining balance. My children, three daughters to be exact, have greatly benefited from their own take on this system. I cannot count the numerous times that outfits, photos on social media and behavior have been “called out” by the three siblings. I often wonder what my role in the family is when I have an older daughter who once told her younger sibling, “Are you serious? What kind of guy do you think you are going to attract wearing that?” I truly believe having people in your life who love you enough to make you ponder about your life choices and decisions can be very beneficial. In fact, living alone, I have experienced Clyde’s has been a local haunt the slippery of bipartisan gatherings for over slope of not 50 years. h a v i n g someone ask the tough questions such as “Are you really going to eat another chocolate chip scone, and do you think it’s a and watering hole for bipartisan meetings, good choice to pair it with Cabernet?” debates and fun. My bit of framed Hearing an opposing view can do many memorabilia consists of an elephant, clad in things. It can make you look at things from a a pinstriped suit and elegant tie holding a different perspective, modify your belief or it martini and a donkey donning a leisure suit may strengthen your original opinion. No and bow tie hoisting a beer. The two matter what the outcome, isn’t it a symbols of both political parties look as if wonderful, downright miraculous thing that they are saying “cheers” to shared in our incredible country we get to express

our opinions without the fear of being hauled away and persecuted?

POS

It is very disconcerting how people are being, as my kids would say, “slammed” on social media after conveying their thoughts.

In fact, I learned the meaning of a new acronym, “POS,” which means “piece of doo doo” (I’m paraphrasing of course). I recently read a post regarding a politician stating, “If you like that POS, unfriend me now.” When did it become mandatory that we all have the same opinion? Musically, it is impossible to have harmony if everyone is holding the same note.

Vote

In this country it is highly unlikely that you will be kidnapped, tortured or become the victim of violence on the way to the polls. As Louis L’Amour once said, “To make democracy work, we must be a nation of participants, not simply observers. One who does not vote has no right to complain,” or in the words of William E. Simon, “Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who do not vote.”

No matter the outcome of the election, I hope you afford your fellow Americans the courtesy of free expression, an open mind and the understanding that, even though our differences may be great, we have a lot to cheer about. I for one am going to take Chesney’s advice and call my Mom, (I already have a pontoon boat, the minivan of the boating world), enjoy friends old and new and hope that we can all get along.

Cheers!

Tree City Playhouse Presents ‘Dial M for Murder’ Tree City Playhouse will launch its 2018-19 season, sponsored by Expeditus Transport, with Frederick Knott’s “Dial M for Murder.”

Jennifer Wegman and Keith Ramsdell are directing the production. “We’re pleased to be able to bring this classic thriller to life as we open our 3rd season in partnership with the Sylvania Community Arts Commission,” said Ramsdell, who also serves as Artistic Director for the group.

In the play, Tony Wendice has married his wife Margot for her money and now plans to murder her for the same reason. He arranges the perfect murder. Unfortunately…the murderer gets murdered and the victim survives. But this doesn’t deter the husband.

He sees his hireling’s death as an opportunity to have his wife convicted for the murder of the man who tried to murder her, and that is what almost happens.

This melodrama had a highly successful run on London’s West End and on Broadway when it opened in 1952. The story enjoyed increased popularity after it was adapted for screen in 1954, with the movie starring Ray Milland and Grace Kelly, with Alfred Hitchcock directing. The New York Times wrote about the play “…original and remarkably good theatre—quiet in style but tingling with excitement underneath.”

Performances are Nov. 2 and 3 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 4 at 3 p.m. at Church 3TwentyOne, 5845 Centennial Road, in Sylvania. Tickets are $12 for general admission and $10 for seniors and students. Tickets can be purchased in advance online at www.sylvaniaarts.org or by calling 419-5170118. Tickets can also be purchased at the door prior to each performance

JANET AMID

THE STARS SPEAK “Now in November nearer comes the sun down the abandoned heaven.”

D.H Lawrence Dear Readers, As we prepare for winter, the earth grows quiet, making its bed for nature, white and silent. We begin our hibernation. Planets shift, the energy is different, calmer. A few retrogrades remain, though after Dec. 6 the frequency will shift into a more positive stance.

Sun in Scorpio

The sun will remain in Scorpio until Nov. 22. As the sun continues to transit the sign of Scorpio conjunct transiting Saturn, you may feel a bit more restricted as you scurry to keep yourself together and in sync. As it moves into the more independent, fun, Jupiter-ruled sign of Sagittarius there is a sense of ease that occurs. Those born under Scorpio, Sagittarius, Pisces, Taurus, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn will feel this influence. Although wherever Venus is taking place in your birth chart will be of influence as well.

New moon in Scorpiobreaking down barriers

Sometimes things become more clear and intense under the illumination of the new moon. Emotions open up and we are deeply energized when dealing with ourselves as well as others. New moon in Scorpio brings with it the energies of full commitment coming from the heart, and their exact opposite- breaking up and breaking hearts. This new moon supports dedication and commitment to whatever you would like. These energies support what you really want, and not what you tell yourself that you want.

Full moon

Gemini on Nov. 23 creates an intense vortex of mental “emotion” as you seek to bend and stretch your intelligence so as to hold two (or more) approaches to the issue you confront.

Are you experiencing breakthroughs in perception that at times are unnerving and other times inspiring? This is a Mercurial full moon once again inviting mental flexibilitythe psychic space to change your mind. This particular full moon can be flexible, providing you with that extra emotional and mental edge.

Mercury in retrograde Nov. 17 to Dec. 6 in Sagittarius

Communication can be difficult because Sagittarius is the visionary sign of the zodiac and when in retrograde it goes against our grain. Small things during this time can be

blown out of proportion; tales may be become larger than life. Mercury is concerned with getting down to the basics, while Sagittarius likes looking at life through a wider lens.

Because Sagittarius aims its arrow to the cosmos, Mercury’s presence in this sign supports visions of tomorrow. The trick is to use meticulous Mercury’s knack for filling in all the details so the picture you’re selling is the one that actually develops. Those born under Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo and Pisces are mainly affected, though where it falls into your charts is determined by your time of birth.

Venus retrograde from Oct. to Nov. 16 in Scorpio

As Venus, the planet of love, transits in the intense sign of Scorpio, relationships may be passionate, the expression of love somewhat intense, maybe more mystical. Lots of kissing, but not enough telling. The need for higher expectations from our partners plays itself out as the retrograde may intensify the fire within us all. We continue to seek deeper into our own needs at this same time. As it moves backwards into the partnership sign of Libra, clear agreements need to be made. This is a time that we strive to create more of a balance and the scales are tipped just a bit during the retrograde. Secrets may be revealed, money matters can be unpredictable. During this Venus retrograde as we dig deep inside our gut and feelings become so transparent, that Scorpion influence bares all. Trying to find the words, gathering our thoughts to match what we feel inside is not an easy task but very necessary. More so as it taps into our instincts about love, and brings forth a need to question ourselves, our motives, as well as the other person’s, or people involved. This transit, I believe, though not always easy, is very cathartic. In the end it is all about healing, as well as emotional resolve...each and every one of you deals with these issues differently, though our end results may be similar.

Uranus moves back into Aries

As it moves back into the Mars-ruled sign of Aries those born under the signs of Aries, Libra, Capricorn, Cancer and Aquarius may feel the jolt. Also wherever it falls in to your birth chart, based on time of birth, will determine its affect. Uranus, is the planet of unpredictability, its retrograde back into the sign of Aries may create an intense vortex of energy.

SIGNS ARIES (March 20-April 19)

The Ram - Symbol Fire - As with most Aries, you may find yourself having a preoccupation with finances this month. Your sense of security may feel a bit out of sorts, however much can be said about the desire for clarity. Clearly, with Venus now in retrograde

transiting the financial sector of your chart, it’s important to be aware. However, make sure you know what you are doing when you are signing on the dotted line. Also, with Mercury moving into retrograde this month, you may begin to question yourself, view life from a different angle. Better to process than act out without thinking.

TAURUS (April 21-May 21)

The Bull – Symbol Earth - As with most Taurus’s, you are very much a creature of habit. Your greatest fear is to lose what you have, as personal possessions, friendships and partnerships are your lifelines. And the last year or so, as Jupiter opposed your Sun, it has been hectic to say the least. So now as Venus is retrograding your area of partners, your concern may revolve around your personal alliances as well work connections. Better to step lightly than to take a giant leap where others are concerned. Not the best time to create mixed signals, as Mercury in retrograde may be causing you to question your judgment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

The Twins - Symbol Air - Chatting and humor are your mantras, yet during this retrograde you may see yourself a bit more intense than usual. Your seriousness is played off through work and responsibilities and through self-discovery.

Also, your communication with partners becomes questionable as Mercury, your ruler, moves in to retrograde this month. Though never at a loss for words, you may feel scattered, with a lot of intensity building up. Better to step back than to jump into uncharted waters.

CANCER (June 21-July 20)

The Crab - Symbol Water - Clearly as with most Cancers, it’s always about home and family. However at this time you may find yourself becoming more involved with speculation, or some sort of chance taking.

Totally out of your realm. Getting more creative, putting more stock in recreation, travel, writing or seeking out new ways to help you grow and stay motivated. In addition, your intuition is off the charts as your instincts are really kicking in during these retrogrades.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 22)

The Lion - Symbol Fire - A retrograde Venus and Jupiter at odds with your Sun sign, finds you caught between a rock and a hard place. Changes through work and home may cause you to feel as though you are in a tailspin. On one hand, you’re in a great position as the influence of the planets in Scorpio may force you to finally set some limits. As indicated this relates to personal as well as career aspects. It’s all up to you and how you handle the energies at hand. As with anything else, more is always good, but sometimes you need to settle for less.

balance, so this particular aspect can be unpredictable though it can bring to light a sense of security. In addition, Mercury turning retrograde in the Sagittarius aspect, your area of chat may cause words to flow freely. So settle in before making assumptions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The Scorpio - Symbol Water - Now that Venus is in retrograde in your own Sun sign, this may force you to make some decisions regarding yourself as well as partners. Without realizing it you may find yourself trying to create and keep a balance. Your desire to maintain what you are comfortable with is at odds with the desire for much needed changes. Also, it’s a significant period for opportunity for you to secure yourself financially as Mercury retrogrades your money house. Do some careful planning, then implement after the first of the year.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20)

The Archer - Symbol Fire - As friendly Jupiter, your ruler, balances your own sign, you may find yourself coming out of a deep sleep as your luck begins to change. This can and will be an opportune period for you, as not only will money matters shift for the better, but also your relationship aspects will suddenly begin to follow in sync. A great cycle for creating and manifesting! In addition, Venus in retrograde traveling through the more private sector of your chart, may bring relationships in from the past, or allow for much needed resolution. Things begin to percolate. On the flip side, with Mercury moving into retrograde in your own sign, you need to be aware of choices you make, as you may be prone to impulsive behavior.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19)

The Goat - Symbol Earth - With Venus retrograde in your area of groups, you may find yourself being subject to clearing out your dance card. Specifically, it’s a time in which to clear out relationships that no longer serve your higher good. Also, Mercury in retrograde may dredge up the past. A good time for healing through meditation, or allowing spirit energy to lead you into a more conducive light. Work matters feel promising, though pace yourself before making changes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Water Bearer - Symbol Air - Anticipation is the key as a retrograde Venus and Sun, hovering over the career sector of your chart, may cause you to rethink old work patterns, as well as reestablish new guidelines. Or perhaps reexamine your personal goals? It’s all about you and what you have to offer. Also with Mercury approaching retrograde in your area of relationships, your words may be sharper than you think. So think before your speak. A good time to just pull back and wait until after December 6 to air your grievances.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Astrological Tips: Great month for entertaining. Also, it’s a good cycle for creating closure with those needing it most.

Money can be prosperous if handled well.

The Virgin - Symbol Earth - Sweet, sensitive, giving, analytical Virgo. This may be your lucky month to get most of what you need and want. Though your ruler is moving into retrograde on the 17th until the first week of December may cause a bit of over thinking on your part. However, it’s a good period for planning, then executing in mid-December into 2019. In addition, Venus in retrograde until Nov. 16, in your area of chat, may trigger compulsion, which is totally out of your character. Think then speak should be your motto for the next few weeks.

The Scales - Symbol Air - As Venus retrograde travels through the financial sector of your chart, money matters seem to be on top of your list. However, your concern is based on your need to protect what is yours, as well as a desire to always keep yourself in

Fish traveling in opposite directions Symbol Water - Your instincts are at their peak this month with transiting Venus retrograde in your area of higher aspirations may bring you to a higher place of awareness. This may be your month to try your hand at writing, or doing some unexpected traveling, or merely getting yourself inspired. Also, a few health cautions as you focus on health for the next few weeks or so. Pay attention.

Science Alliance for Valuing the Environment, Inc. presents “The Role of Wetlands in Mitigating Pollutants in Our Landscape and Planet” on Tuesday, Nov. 13, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the Franciscan Center, 6832 Convent Blvd. in Sylvania. The event, free and open to the public, will feature guest speaker William Mitsch, Ph.D. Mitsch will discuss the current approach of decreasing the nutrient saturation of landscapes and aquatic ecosystems (wetlaculture) which is being tested for agricultural runoff near Toledo, Lake Erie and Buckeye Lake in Ohio, and for urban runoff in Naples, Fla. The world faces unprecedented threats to its aquatic ecosystems from excessive nutrients caused by agricultural and urban runoff. More than 750 aquatic ecosystems suffer from degraded ecosystem services with impairments including hypoxia, dead zones, and harmful algal blooms. In addition, the atmospheric pool of carbon has increased by 40 percent since industrial times and on a global scale, half of the original wetlands have been lost.

An eminent scholar and Director of the Everglades Wetland Research Park, Dr. Mitsch is a Sproul Chair for Southwest Florida Habitat Restoration and Management at Florida Gulf Coast University. He also serves as Professor Emeritus and Founding Director of the Olentangy River Wetland Research Park at The

Ohio State University.

Cecile Bennett

Cecile Marie Renuart Bennett, of Sylvania Township, Ohio, our beautiful mother entered the gardens of Heaven on Oct. 23, 2018, surrounded by her adoring family. She was born to the late Amedee Renuart and Blanche Roy Renuart on March 8, 1939, in Coral Gables, Fla., and the second youngest of five children. She attended St. Theresa Catholic School from K-12 and went on to study at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Fla. While at the university, Cecile joined the sorority of Delta, Delta, Delta and was also a cheerleader for the University of Miami Hurricanes.

In 1959, she married Robert G. Bennett and together they had four children. In 1968, Bob’s new business venture as a Burger King

franchisee necessitated the family move to Toledo, Ohio. It didn’t take Cecile long to entrench herself in the community. She belonged to many organizations and took leadership roles in most. These organizations included serving as president of The Toledo Museum of Art Ambassadors, Corey Woods Garden Club and Christ Child Society. She also was a member of The Junior League, P.E.O., Toledo Women’s Club, St. Joseph Parish-Sylvania and the Sylvania Country Club.

After a separation from Bob in 1974, Cecile gained a position at the newly opened Jacobson’s Department store as a cosmetics consultant for ten years. Later Cecile worked at Betty Rumpf Interiors until her home could accommodate no more furniture.

Although Mom kept extremely busy volunteering her time, she was always at the ready to help family and friends. Her signature batches of homemade cookies were one of the many ways she expressed her compassion for others who needed cheering up. She was never too busy to stop and talk to a stranger, especially children. She always greeted friends and strangers with a genuinely warm smile and a sweet hello. She was loved by everyone for her easy going demeanor, sense of humor and big heart.

She loved gardening and floral arranging, which won her awards from the Garden Club Forum of the Toledo District. Her love of cooking served her well for family gatherings, contributing to the Toledo Museum of Art cookbook and her Gourmet Group. She loved all things about nature feeding her birds, squirrels and those mystical hummingbirds. Mom’s love for nature and children lead her to become both a Girl Scout and Boy Scout leader for all her kids.

Mom loved the holidays especially Christmas, decorating her home from top to bottom with her hundreds of Santa Clauses and preparing elaborate holiday feasts. For Halloween, she marveled at the children’s costumes and their sweet faces. She always loved those with manners rewarding them with an extra treat or two. A true talent for sewing and crafting, Mom created many costumes for her kids and grandchildren.

Those passing before her, in addition to her parents, are her sister Lillian Renuart Haskin; brother-in-law Richard Haskin and former husband, Robert (Bob) G. Bennett.

Left to cherish Cecile’s memory and continue her legacy of “doing for others” are her children Teri (Bill) Giacci, Keith, Laura Swafford, and Bob “Boo” (girlfriend Dana Shawn); grandchildren Billy (Tamara) Giacci, Bailey (Brian) Giacci Ulrich, Jake Swafford and Bryce Swafford; greatgrandchildren Jackson Ulrich and Lucas Ulrich; siblings Sr. Marguerite Renuart, Phil (Donna) Renuart, Janet Renuart (Arlita Like) and many nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank all the wonderful nurses and caregivers at ProMedica’s Ebeid Hospice and the many dear friends who brought care and comfort to our dear mother.

To memorialize Cecile, consider The Christ Child Society of Toledo, P.O. Box 352254, Toledo, OH 43635 or a charity of the donor’s choice.

Patrick Antonetti

Antonetti of Patrick Sylvania, Ohio, left us on Oct. 4, 2018. Pat was born in Chicago, Ill., on Sept.14, 1946, to John and Maude Antonetti.

He moved to the Toledo area in 1984, to marry his loving wife, Deb, with whom he spent 35 happy and blessed years.

Pat retired in 2008 after working for various financial institutions in the area. In his retirement, he enjoyed playing chess, trying different lunch spots with his buddy Mike, watching (and debating) MSNBC and old movies with his mother-in-law, singing classic rock along with Google home, and rooting for his favorite teams (in good times or bad), the Chicago Cubs and Bears, as well as his beloved Notre Dame football. Pat proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. Along with his wife, Pat is survived by his two daughters Molly and Devon, in whom he took great pride and loved dearly. He is also survived by his brothers John (Nelda) of Marion, Ark.; and Frank of Northlake, Ill; and sister Joan Paral of Naperville, Ill., along with numerous loving and loved nieces and nephews.

If choosing a memorial contribution in his memory, please consider one of Pat’s favored organizations: The Toledo Area Humane Society or the ASPCA. Our family would like to express our gratitude to the wonderful nurses at Flower and Toledo Hospitals, who do amazing work every day and every shift to take extraordinary care of patients and their families.

Condolences may be shared with the family at walkerfuneralhomes.com.

Robin Kennedy

Robin Molyneaux Kennedy, born Jan. 6, 1945, was suddenly given back to the Lord on Oct. 10, 2018. He was the consummate teacher; a professor of law at the University of Toledo for forty-five years, specializing in clinical legal education. He obtained a B.A. degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1967 and a J.D. degree from Case Western Reserve University in 1970. He was admitted to the Bar in Ohio in 1970 and in Florida in 1971. Prior to joining the faculty at the College of Law, he held positions as the attorney-in-charge with the Hospital Legal Services Project and as a staff attorney with the Cleveland Legal Aid Society. Throughout his career, Robin made countless contributions to the well being of the citizens of Ohio, as teacher, mentor, clinician, faculty, colleague and friend.

He is survived by his loving family, wife Cynthia, married for 42 years, daughters Elizabeth Feniger (David) and Erin Kennedy (Josh Vella); and son Patrick Kennedy. The greatest joys in his life were his grandsons and granddaughters-Yale Feniger, Olivia Vella, Robert Vella, Vivian Vella, Thomas Vella, and William Kennedy. He was preceded in death by his mother and father, Ruth and Ralph Kennedy, and his brother Randolph.

These words will not, and could not, express what he meant to his family, friends, and anyone who met him. He made an impact on everyone he met. He would say, “I never met a man I didn’t like”. He loved his life and lived every moment to the fullest. He was also an avid golfer, a barbershop quartet singer, and proud Notre Dame fan.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Robin M. Kennedy Memorial Fund at The University of Toledo College of Law.

Susan White

and received a degree in interior design from Davis College in Toledo. Over the years, she became an accomplished and well recognized residential and commercial interior decorator, having worked on a variety of projects up until her passing. She worked at Betty Rumpf Interiors in Toledo for eighteen years.

One of her most passionate and ambitious projects that reflected her creativity, sense of style and her interest in preservation and adaptive reuse, was the conversion of the historic stable at Hasty House Farm in Ottawa Hills into her personal residence. The “Stable” as is it is now known, is where Sue and Jim have lived since 1999. The restoration of the property has been featured in many news articles and interior design publications.

Some of Sue’s design work and collaborations included Inverness Club, The Toledo Club, and Stone Oak Country Club in Toledo and Hole-in-the Wall Golf Club, Royal Poinciana, and Audubon Country Club in Naples, Fla. Outside of her interior design career, Sue had many interests in life including travel, golf, tennis, Ohio State football, and keeping up on current political events. She was also very involved in the Toledo and Naples, Fla. Communities, where over the years she served as a member or on the board of various organizations. These included the Junior League of Toledo, where she served as the cochair of the Decorators Show House, which restored the Libby House. She was also president of the Toledo Ambassadors at the Toledo Museum of Art and president of the Ottawa Hills Garden Club.

Her greatest achievement, and the one she was most proud of, was her role as a wife, mother, and grandmother. Creating a close and loving family environment was the most important thing to Sue. Affectionately known as “Mimi,” she absolutely loved and adored her six grandchildren Libby (18), Abby (18), Foster (17), Maggie (17), Lily (13), and Sophie (13). She could be seen at countless soccer or lacrosse games, in a cold ice arena watching hockey, or at a school event.

Her most favorite place for family time and playing host was up at her home on Torch Lake in Northern Michigan, a house,

Susan “Sue” Serrott White passed away Oct. 7, 2018, while traveling overseas with her husband of 52 years, James F. White, Jr. They were married in July of 1966 and spent their lives together supporting and loving one another, building a family, and perpetuating a legacy for future generations that is admired by people who know them.

Sue, an only child, was born Aug. 24, 1943, and raised in Columbus, Ohio, by her parents, George Edward and Virginia Foster Serrott, who preceded her in death. She was loved and adored by all for her kind and gentle demeanor, warm heart, amazing spirit, witty sense of humor, and beautiful smile that would light up a room. As one of her closest friends described her, “it wasn’t about what she had, it was about the person she was.”

Sue was a graduate of Columbus North High School in 1961 where she was a cheerleader. She went on to receive her Bachelor of Science in Education from The Ohio State University in 1965, where she was a member of the Delta Gamma sorority, serving as rush chairman and vice president.

This is the same year her husband graduated from the The Ohio State University School of Law and where they met upon graduation through mutual friends.

Sue and Jim ended up in Philadelphia together where she taught elementary school and Jim attended business school. After their engagement in 1965, they spent a year in New York City and Sue continued her teaching career in Montclair, N.J. They moved to Toledo in 1967 after their marriage at Maple Grove Methodist Church in Columbus, Ohio, in 1966. For two years, Sue taught first grade at Stranahan Elementary School in Sylvania, Ohio, where she was selected to pilot a team teaching program with a fellow teacher. Sue and Jim started their family in 1969 and Sue spent most of her early life in Toledo raising her two children Carey (47) and Jim III (49) who currently reside in Chicago, Ill., and Columbus, Ohio, with their spouses Colby Gifford and Kerri Gates White.

In her late forties, Sue went back to school

which she also designed. It was here where she loved to watch her grandchildren play in the sand, jump off the dock, wake-board and tube as the sailboats passed by in the distance and aspen tree leaves shimmer in the light breeze. She was also very fond of organizing the occasional cocktail cruise with a gin and tonic in hand!

While Sue’s final resting place has yet to be determined, there will be a part of her near the beautiful blue waters of Torch Lake where she created so many wonderful lasting memories for her family and friends. A tree on the property will be planted in her memory.

Sue is also survived by her brothers-in-law David White and Timothy L. White with whom she was particularly close.

The family has planned a private memorial service at “The Stable,” fitting given the time and energy she put into its preservation. A “Celebration of Life” party will take place for Sue Saturday Nov. 17 from 5 to 9 p.m. in the event space at the ProMedica headquarters at the Steam Plant in downtown Toledo. The family will also have a similar event in Naples, Fla., in early 2019.

In lieu of flowers, friends and family are asked to consider a donation to the Sue S. White Memorial Fund at the Toledo Community Foundation (300 Madison Ave, Suite 1300, Toledo, OH 43604), or a charity/organization of the donor’s choice.

Stories, memories and condolences are greatly appreciated. You may share them at walkerfuneralhomes.com. There will also be an opportunity to share them at the “Celebration of Life” party.

throughout Ohio, and recently retired from the Toledo Clinic’s Outpatient Surgery Department. She was an active member of Christ the King Catholic Church and involved in other charities around Toledo. In her free time, she enjoyed golf, reading novels, riding her jet ski at the lake and going on cruises and vacations with her husband, family and friends. She found her greatest enjoyment in spending time with her children and grandchildren. Teresa will be remembered for her selfless, giving nature.

She was preceded in death by her daughter Jennifer Sugg; and her husband’s parents Richard and Sally Brickner.

Memorials are suggested to Ebeid Hospice or to the Expecting Miracles Scholarship at Central Catholic High School established by her daughter Jenny for children who have lost a mother due to breast cancer.

Teresa Marie Brickner, age 63, of Holland, Ohio, died Oct. 11, 2018, at Ebeid Hospice in Sylvania, Ohio. She was born May 18, 1955, in Coldwater, Mich. Teresa was a devoted registered nurse for more than 40 years
