The 15th annual “Celebrate the Senses” gathering will take place on Sunday, Oct. 7, in a new location, The Pinnacle, at 1772 Indian Wood Circle, in Maumee. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m. so early-birds will be able to choose their favorite readers at preferred times.

The women of Zion along with German cook Wolfgang Drescher will again sponsor the annual German Dinner at Zion Lutheran Church, 8307 Memorial Hwy., Ottawa Lake, Mich. on Oct. 13 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Pork loin, pork barbecue, oven baked chicken, spaetzle and other German ethnic dishes will be featured. The cost of the dinner is $12 and proceeds benefit the Zion food pantry, which is open on the second and fourth Tuesday morning each month and supplements the hunger needs of hundreds of individuals. Other proceeds will assist needy individuals who also have special needs. A special addition to the German dinner this year will be a presentation and book signing by author Dr. Murray Howe for his best selling book, “Nine Lessons I Learned from My Father.” His book was third on the best-selling list in Canada this past year.
As Dr. Howe, a radiologist in the greater Toledo area, explains on the cover of his book: “Gordie Howe may have been the greatest player in the history of hockey, but greatness was never defined by goals or assists in the Howe household. Greatness meant being the best person you could be, not the best player on the ice.” Unlike his two brothers, Murray Howe failed in his attempt to follow in his father’s footsteps to become a professional athlete. Yet his failure brought him to the realization that his dream wasn’t really to be a pro hockey player. It was to be like his father, amazing at something, but humble and gracious.

Bethany House presents the annual Unveiling Ceremony for the Northwest Ohio Silent Witness Project on Tuesday, Oct. 9, from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the Franciscan Center, 6832 Convent Blvd., Sylvania. A national initiative, the Silent Witness Project honors and memorializes girls and women killed in acts of domestic violence perpetrated by husbands, boyfriends or stalkers. In the past decade, more than 55 such murders have occurred in the community. Beverly Gooden, survivor, advocate and creator of the viral hashtag, #WhyIStayed, which was named by TIME magazine as one of the “Top 10 Hashtags That Started a
Conversation,” is the keynote speaker for the ceremony. Gooden will draw on personal experience to address common misunderstandings about domestic violence, with an emphasis on factors that keep victims from being able to leave. She also will suggest strategies for raising public awareness about the lethal realities of domestic violence, and offer support and compassion for the loved ones of victims who did not survive.

Toledo Ballet-Toledo Symphony form alliance
Toledo Ballet’s Artistic Director Lisa Mayer-Lang and Toledo Symphony’s President, CEO Zak Vassar look on as Marna Ramnath of TSO and Kimberly Howard of Toledo Ballet sign the agreement forming the alliance between the two organizations. The Toledo Symphony and Toledo Ballet have announced their plans to merge the area’s oldest performing arts institutions. The Toledo Symphony is celebrating its 75th anniversary and The Toledo Ballet is celebrating its 78th season. By joining forces, the Symphony and Ballet will build on an accumulated 153 years of performing arts history and reaffirm their shared focus on education. The merged organization will be known as the Toledo Alliance for the Performing Arts, or T.A.P.A.
The new nonprofit is expected to be effective January 1, 2019. The Symphony and Ballet will continue to operate as sibling brands under the T.A.P.A. umbrella. Zak Vassar, president and CEO of the Toledo Symphony will become CEO of the combined organization. The Toledo Ballet has operated for several months without an executive director. “This partnership is a natural one,” said Vassar, “The Toledo Symphony and Toledo Ballet have worked together for over 70 years, with the Symphony serving as the Ballet’s pit orchestra. Our archives are rich with collaborations, and we have a great history of working together to entertain and inspire this community.” The Toledo Symphony first performed with the Toledo Ballet in the 1949 performance of the Nutcracker. The orchestra has supported the Ballet in every Nutcracker since, celebrating the nation’s longest running production of Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet. Additionally, the Symphony has presented dancers from Toledo Ballet in many of its series performances, including the Rite of Spring in 2015. “Marie Vogt choreographed several special performances for the Toledo Symphony in the 1950s under then-Music Director Wolfgang Streseman,” recalled Robert Bell, president emeritus of the Toledo Symphony. “There were special performances of music by Copland and Enescu at the Paramount and Rivoli theaters, too. The Ballet’s dancers beautifully enhanced each program with fresh choreography.” During this formative period of the Toledo Ballet under Vogt’s passionate and unwavering commitment to the art, the Symphony retained the Ballet for a variety of educational concerts as well as imaginatively staged productions of the Nutcracker Suite. The Symphony and Ballet also have common roots in education. The Toledo Symphony, through the Toledo Symphony School of Music and three Toledo Symphony Youth Orchestras, provides music instruction to nearly 350 student performers each year. The Toledo Ballet School presents a comprehensive instruction program, including classical ballet, ballroom, jazz, tap, and hip hop. The Ballet School carries
certification from the American Ballet Theatre and welcomes 300 students annually. “The Toledo Ballet and Toledo Symphony Orchestra have been collaborating for approximately 78 years,” said Lisa Mayer-Lang, Artistic Director of the Toledo Ballet. “The merging of the two organizations solidifies what has been a wonderful and long-running relationship between us. We are thrilled to take these two organizations into a new direction of collaboration not only for the arts community, but also the entire Toledo region. I’m ecstatic that we will be working more closely with Toledo Symphony and expanding the collaborations that we’ve shared for over 70 years.” The Toledo Symphony School of Music, Toledo Symphony Youth Orchestras, and Toledo Ballet School will maintain their separate instruction spaces. “In time, I expect that our education activities will come together under one roof,” said Vassar. In 2017, the Symphony and Ballet experimented with a shared service model, which ultimately led the organizations to explore a closer affiliation. Symphony staff assumed all marketing and box office responsibilities for the Ballet’s 2017 presentation of the Nutcracker. Proof was in the (Sugar Plum) pudding. In the first year of collaboration, Nutcracker ticket sales were up 25 percent, and the Ballet celebrated one of its most profitable seasons on record. The Symphony, which employs a professional staff of 30, will welcome the Ballet staff of six, to its downtown offices. The 15 trustees of the Toledo Ballet will join the 38 trustees of the Toledo Symphony to serve as the Board of Trustees for T.A.P.A. Three Ballet trustees will join 12 Symphony trustees in T.A.P.A.’s executive committee. Pam Hershberger, the Symphony’s Board Chair, will chair the new organization. The Symphony is currently planning its 2019-2020 season and envisions several large and small collaborations. Marie Vogt, founder of the Toledo Ballet, shared her enthusiasm for the merger, stating, “Music has always empowered my life—it will be very helpful for the dancers to hear that lovely music!”

Bach Flower Therapy sessions offered at Harmony in Life
Lindsay Samuelson, ND, prepares a Bach Flower Remedy for a client. Northview and Ohio State University graduate and Naturopathic Doctor Lindsay Samuelson, ND, has begun offering mini Bach Flower Therapy sessions for the public at Harmony in Life, 5747 Main St., in downtown Sylvania. Participants complete a multi-page questionnaire prior to their appointment, allowing Samuelson to assess their needs based on their responses and develop appropriate remedies. During the 20-minute session, participants discuss their answers with Samuelson to clarify issues important to them. According to Samuelson, Bach Flower Therapy was developed nearly 100 years ago by Dr. Edward Bach, a British bacteriologist. He realized that many of his patients’ illnesses were related to certain negative states of mind. After years of research, he discovered a set of 38 flower and herbal remedies that worked on these negative qualities within patients and paved the way to recovery from disease. While in California several years ago, Samuelson happened upon the book, “Bach Flower Therapy, Theory and Practice,” by Mechthild Scheffer at her aunt’s home and became intrigued with the concept. According to the author, Dr. Bach proposed that his flower remedies could flood a patient’s nature with the particular virtue needed to overpower the negative influence that was causing harm, uplifting their nature and bringing them closer to their spiritual self. He believed work with the remedies could release the negative energy blockage and change it to a positive, harmonious flow. “There is no true healing unless there is a change in outlook,
peace of mind, and inner happiness,” Bach said. Samuelson found her way to holistic medicine via a film-making career in Los Angeles. She began her journey whetting her appetite about holistic medicine when she first became aware of the benefits of acupuncture and yoga. These disciplines had helped her to eliminate the pain she experienced from lugging heavy pieces of equipment from job to job. She began to further explore these Eastern philosophies and decided to focus her career on health and disease. She enrolled in a vigorous four-year accredited Naturopathic medical school in Toronto where she studied the same subjects as an M.D.-bound student along with traditional Chinese medicine, homeopathy, botanical medicine, nutrition, hydrotherapy, manipulation techniques and mind/body medicine. She also spent four years in England specializing in homeopath, a model of medicine that is used by millions of people around the world everyday. It is considered safe and effective and can be prescribed alongside conventional medicine. Samuelson has also embraced Bach’s holistic approach to health, disease and healing, which is based on the concept of wholism, the perfect unity of all things and the uniqueness of every system contained within it. She also related to the concept that every symptom of body, mind or spirit gives us a particular message that we can make use of on our journey and that the Bach Flower Remedies system works via “healing by restoring harmony in awareness.” Now back in Sylvania, she works with patients in her office at Harmony in Life. According to Samuelson, her unique and intensive educational experience allows her to see each patient through a multitude of lenses. “As an ND, I approach illness and disease in a multi-faceted way. I spend a lot of time with each patient to get to the root cause of his or her issues and then can recommend a combination of natural therapies including herbalism, homeopathy, supplementation and more to find a remedy in nature to help the body mobilize its vital forces and eliminate the issues creating the disease or illness. I am also happy to be offering Bach Flower Remedy sessions, ” she noted. In addition, Samuelson teaches a series of classes at Harmony in Life.

In Toledo, 56 percent of households cannot afford a basic budget that covers the expenses of housing, food, and health-care, according to a 2017 United Way Alice Report. “Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to eliminate poverty housing. Our impact is measured by the thousands of volunteers, donors, team members, prayer groups, and families served, that can say, ‘I too was a part of that,’” added McIntyre.

Dentist joins Oak Openings Dental Rosemary Chaban, D.D.S., joined Matthew Lark D.D.S., at Oak Openings Dental, 4315 Holland-Sylvania Rd., in August after completing a residency at The University of Toledo’s Medical College following her graduation from Howard University School of Dentistry. Chaban, who grew up in Sylvania and is a Northview graduate, is also a former gymnast. She currently coaches tumbling and is an active yogi. She met her husband, Ido Rottem, during a 2012 trip to Israel and they were married when he moved to America in 2015. He attends The University of Toledo majoring in electrical engineering. The couple live in Sylvania. “For as long as I can remember I have always been interested in teeth. I was even excited to get braces. Because I was so into teeth, during my early school years my dad arranged for me to shadow Dr. Matthew Lark, who is a long-time family friend. And that experience convinced me that dentistry was the career path I wanted to follow,” Chaban said. Dr. Lark, a general dentist, also offers services in six specialties. “He works with patients with TMJ disorders, sleep apnea, oral facial pain and more and I am available to provide general dental services to our patients,” Chaban reported. “We are so excited to have Dr. Chaban at Oak Openings, and we look forward to helping our patients with their dental and oral facial pain problems. We are using a medical risk model for early recognition of dental disease, with the end goal of early detection and prevention,” Lark offered. Chaban is available for patients on Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Wednesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Friday
from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and every other Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Recognized as TMJ, Airway Sleep Medicine, and Orofacial Pain Specialist
Matthew Lark, DD, recently became recognized as a TMJ Specialist, according to the Ohio State Dental Board. On March 7 the Ohio State Dental Board passed a motion that temporarily suspended the enforcement of the board’s specialty designation and advertising rules until the board has amended said rules to reflect this change. This amendment recognizes TMJ as a state board of dentistry specialty, equivalent to specialties like oral surgery, orthodontics, or endodontics. For Lark, TMJ and orifacial pain are two clinical areas of many that come as second nature, as he has served as the President of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain and received extensive experience in temporomandibular disorders through his Orofacial Pain Certificate from Rutgers University. “Education is vital for all professions, but especially for dentists,” said Lark. “You cannot expect to meet the needs of today’s dental patients without seeking the knowledge and skills that are currently driving the industry. This recognition helps me be the best clinician and leader I can be, and will ultimately benefit myself, my team, and most importantly, my patients.” The temporomandibular joint, otherwise known as TMJ, acts as a sliding hinge, connecting the jawbone to the skull. TMJ disorders often cause pain to the jaw joint and

In most cases, the pain and discomfort associated with TMJ disorders is temporary and can be relieved with self-managed care or nonsurgical treatments. Lark has a special interest in Sleep Medicine and he works in consort with local sleep physicians to provide diagnosis and treatment of airway disorders which may affect sleep. “Early diagnosis of children with sleep disorders can prevent serious problems such as ADHD and cognitive development,” stated
Lark. “Snoring is not as benign as once thought, in fact snoring can be a warning sign of sleep apnea or low oxygen concentration during sleep which can contribute to causation of hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to disease prevention.” Lark is a clinical instructor at the Kois Center for Advanced Dental Education in Seattle, Wash., and an associate instructor at the Ickert Teaching Centre in Langley, British Columbia.

BY MARY HELEN DARAH There is something about a hometown hardware store. I love feeling like Norm from Cheers where everybody, well at least Brian Yeager, store manager at Sylvania Hometown Hardware, knows my name. Yeager is no stranger to the hardware business. He has been at Ace on Monroe Street in downtown Sylvania since its opening in April of 2011. “Before that, I was at the Home Depot for 10 and a half years then with Lowe’s for two years and was a manager for a meat and deli place in between,” he recalled. “They were different types of experiences, but I enjoyed them all because I love working with people. I truly say I love coming to work and mean it.”
A man of service
Yeager served in the U.S. Navy for 10 years and in the Air Force for three years. “Going into the military right out of school, doing active duty and then reserves, helped me be the people person that I am today,” he stated. “I still enjoy service to community. I help at the Sylvania Area Family Services. I have been volunteering there for 16 years. That’s one of my destination points to help others. They are there to help so many people. When you can be part of the community and make a difference, that’s what it’s all about.”
Building relationships
Brian Yeager, store manager at Ace Sylvania Hometown Hardware, visits with customer Larry Johnson and his four-legged friend Bella.
Yeager believes that people are the focus of his business. “I don’t care if they want to buy or just want to come in and talk,” he said. “We are here to help. We want to be the place to get answers. It’s fun to have people come in and see me just to gab or run an idea by me. I often tease people and ask them, ‘How else can I help you spend your money? Let’s talk about a new project.’” Yeager also feels that his employees are
hugely responsible for the store’s success. “Our employees range from ages 19 through their 50s and 60s. My 19-year-old employees might not know everything, but they have no problem finding the answer for the customer. You don’t get that at a lot of businesses anymore. Sometimes we can’t help them, but we’ll find a place that can. We have some restrictions on what we can do, but we are here to try everything we can do to help.”
Family first
The most important thing to Yeager is family. He stated, “My wife Edna and I have been married 28 years. My daughter is a nurse in the ER at Toledo Hospital, my other daughter is employed through Black Rock Grill, and my son is a part-time firefighter at Waterville and Richfield Center. They all went into the service field just like me and my wife. I have lived in Sylvania Township pretty much my whole life. I grew up behind Regency Hospital and graduated from Northview.”
Building the future
“I want us to be the hardware destination for Sylvania and the surrounding area,” stated Yeager. “I would love to make this store even bigger, yet now we can get anything for our customers online and find the items they need if we don’t have them in the store. Many people are saying that since Anderson’s closed, we are their store. I like it when people say, ‘Let’s see what ridiculous sales Brian has this month.’ If I can find a special, I will bring it in. We will continue being part of the community, which is hugely important to us. One business can’t be a community. I am excited more businesses are getting involved. We have our tough points, but we need to be strong and support each other. Please support your local businesses and shop local and always remember that ACE is the helpful place.”

Tara Stoll and Danielle Schroeder ~ Be Kind Foundation Love yourself
BY MARY HELEN DARAH Tara Stoll and Danielle Schroeder believe that it is cool to be kind. The two parents met at St. Joseph’s School in Sylvania. Schroeder has four children and Stoll has three. “Tara and I found very quickly after our boys met in kindergarten that we had many things in common. Both of us have the common desire to help our children and all children have a happy and healthy childhood and school experience. After countless cups of coffee and conversations over the problem of meanness and bullying in our world, we decided to stand together and try and make a difference. I have a Master’s degree in Education and Tara has a degree in Journalism, so it was very fitting that we could develop this program in a professional and effective manner. We wanted to make a difference and came up with an idea to have a pro social program that teaches kids about kindness instead of anti-bullying. What we found the most disturbing was that programs tend to focus on the kids that are doing negative behaviors. The kids that are being victimized are pushed to the side and told to ‘turn the other cheek.’ We wanted to empower the victim and go about things from a positive angle,” stated Schroeder.
Empower them with kindness
The two women created a program utilizing local teachers to help write lesson plans for the kindness program. Each lesson meets the ASCA Mindsets & Behaviors for Student Success, which are the National Guidance Counselor standards. The program has 11 topics that are presented in the classroom each month. “We have 13 schools, some outside of Ohio, that have a Be Kind Coordinator to implement the program. They decide if they want parent volunteers, teachers, or a guidance counselor to run the program. It is whatever works best for them,” stated Schroeder. The first lesson includes ‘kindness’ mail. Kids are given the names of two peers in their classrooms to write to using messages of kindness and encouragement. “We then go back in about a week and deliver the messages to the kids. Those kids cannot wait to get the messages from their peers,” stated Schroeder. “The ‘chalk out’ also coincides with the first lesson. Children were asked to write messages of courage, kindness, and inspiration in chalk. The entire blacktop was covered. It was beautiful to see.”
18A | FIRST OCTOBER 2018 | YOURGOOD.NEWS
The program also encourages children to embrace their uniqueness. “When they appreciate what makes them distinctive and are proud of who they are, they will be more likely to stand up for themselves when a situation arises,” said Stoll. Schroeder believes that when a bully attempts to make fun of a child, it will not be as effective when they are proud of who they are. “So much of bullying is finding that little hole of vulnerability to get to that child. We try to fill that opening,” she stated. The program also addresses having the courage to stand up for themselves and others when necessary. “Other lessons follow an order that makes sense,” explained Stoll. “At the end of the program they will have learned strategies of what being courageous means through art activities, large and small group discussion, and dramatizations. The program keeps kids engaged and covers a wide range of learning abilities and grade level appropriate material. If a kids starts out in kindergarten, by the time they finish the 5th grade, they will have had 66 lessons on kindness. Lessons cover everything from how to write a thank you note to how to be a good friend,” stated Schroeder. “We also have a lesson about generosity. Kids are given pencils and other trinkets. Some are given many items while others are given a few. We had a kid who got only one item and gave that item away. We then could take that example of selflessness and discuss it further in the lesson.”
A kind future
Both women would love to see their program utilized worldwide. “The message is simple, BE KIND, and here’s how to do it,” stated Stoll. “We recently selected our first BKF grant winner. This grant is incredibly important to our mission because it continues the cycle of kindness that we address and teach in our 11 monthly lessons. This grant is awarded to one student at each BKF school each year. Students are nominated, judged and a winner is selected. That child is then afforded the opportunity to pick a charity of their choice as a recipient. The Be Kind First Foundation writes the check to the charity of their choice. They get to present the check to the charity, in one student’s case, The Victory Center. Simply by being the great kids they are, they are helping hundreds of people as well as being an example to their peers. They are the future and we know that kindness, often thought to be unpopular, will be universally known as ‘cool.’” For more information about Be Kind First visit bekindfirst.org or email bekindfirstfoundation@gmail.com.

Sharon Perry stands next to a refinished antique dresser at Cream Living. To get that rustic vibe in your home, she suggests decorating with natural elements such as antlers, feathers, pinecones and driftwood.
Perry created a dining table arrangement in an old drawer. “Faux candles take the worry out of night-time entertaining, and nonscented versions won’t compete with your dinner,” she commented.
When creating a display, Perry likes to elevate some of the items. “Use old books, pillars and upside down trays or buckets to add height to a vignette. This makes it more visually appealing,” she said.
For the farmhouse look, Perry uses vintage or mismatched dishes. Above: she topped each setting with a foam pumpkin that she coated with chalk paint and finished with feathers and driftwood. - by Jennifer Ruple
So long summer — I’ve fallen for autumn
Chorizo and Wild Rice Stuffed Acorn Squash
Heat oven to 350 F. In a glass baking dish, place squash cut side down and bake for 30 minutes. Turn squash over, season with salt and pepper, cover with foil and bake 25-30 minutes or until tender. While squash is baking, prepare filling. In a large sauté pan, cook chorizo, onion and celery until sausage is cooked through and veggies are soft. Add garlic and thyme and cook 1 minute more. When squash is ready, combine sausage mixture with cooked rice and stuff into squash halves. Bake 10 minutes more until both squash and filling are hot. (Recipe by Jennifer Ruple)

Confetti Corn
This colorful side dish is sure to brighten any harvest table. Made with fresh corn and sweet bell peppers, it’s a great way to add more veggies into your diet.
BY JENNIFER RUPLE It seems like just yesterday I was eagerly waiting for opening day of the Sylvania Farmers I looked Market. forward to visiting with old friends, talking with farmers and vendors, and planning recipes for Jennifer Ruple this column. I was also excited to receive my first produce share from the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program I had just joined. Fast forward four months… we’ve got just a couple more market days to go, and I’ve got just a few more veggie deliveries. Time sure does fly when you’re having fun and good food! On a lighter note, I am happy to report that being part of a CSA program was a terrific culinary experience. I purchased a share of a local farmer’s crop, and in return, I received a box of freshly-picked produce every other week. My goals for participating were simple: eat more veggies, broaden my produce go-to list and share ideas with readers. In June, I played around with beets for the first time and made what turned out to be a beautiful raspberry colored Roasted Beet Hummus. A second batch inspired a platter of Roasted Balsamic Beets. Tender green veggies made their debut early in the summer. From them came sautéed Peas and Pancetta and Tortellini with Asparagus and Peas. In July, cucumbers, zucchini and summer squash made their entrance and became delicious summer sides including Grilled Summer
Squash Pasta, Creamy Cucumber and Radish Salad, and my favorite, Zucchini Au Gratin. I also learned a thing or two. Garlic scapes, the curly stalks that grow from the garlic bulb, can be used for flavoring just like their cloves. And then there are ground cherries which I tried for the first time while visiting farmer Cody at nearby Ottawa Lake Heritage Farm. If you get the chance, stop by the farmers market and let our local farmers and vendors know how much you’ll miss them over the winter. They’ve got everything to help you transition to the new season – corn, squash and apples, candles, wine, brightly colored chrysanthemums, and of course, pumpkins. Happy fall!
Serves 6 6 ears of corn, cut off the cobb 2 large red bell peppers, chopped 1 large green bell pepper, chopped 1 medium onion, diced 2 tablespoons butter Salt and freshly ground black pepper In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add veggies and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté until corn is cooked but still firm and peppers and onions are tender, about 15 minutes. (Recipe by Stephanie Alexander)
Baked Eggplant Parmesan
I love eggplant parmesan, but I don’t like to use all the oil that’s needed for frying the breaded slices. For a lighter version, I bake the slices which results in a crisper round. This recipe can be easily doubled for a 9 x 13 pan. Serves 4 1 large eggplant peeled and cut into ½-inch slices Salt 1 egg 1 tablespoon water 2 cups Italian breadcrumbs 12 ounces marinara sauce 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese
Chorizo and Wild Rice Stuffed Acorn Squash
Chilly fall evenings call for dinners with a little heat. Flavorful chorizo, pork sausage with spicy seasonings, leads the cast of ingredients in this dish. Savory onions, garlic and fresh thyme play well against the mildly sweet and soft acorn squash. Serves 4 2 large acorn squash, halved and seeds removed Salt and pepper to taste 2 cups long grain and wild rice cooked in lowsodium chicken broth ½ pound chorizo 1 medium onion, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped Baked Eggplant Parmesan
Spiced Ground Cherry Compote
If you’ve never tasted a ground cherry, you may not know what to expect. A member of the tomato family and similar looking to the tomatillo, ground cherries taste a bit like pineapple. Their flavor is enhanced in this compote with the addition of lemon, nutmeg and vanilla bean. Serves 6 4 cups fresh ground cherries, husked and washed Zest from half a lemon Juice from 1 lemon ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg 1 cup sugar 1 vanilla bean In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 week. (Recipe from Better Homes and Gardens, Oct. 2018)
Spiced Ground Cherry Compote ¼ teaspoon dried parsley flakes 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese Fresh basil, thinly sliced Cooked pasta (optional) Sprinkle eggplant slices with salt and set on paper towels. Allow to sit for 30 minutes to extract any excess water. Coat 2 baking sheets with olive oil spray. Set aside. In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg and water. In another shallow bowl, add breadcrumbs. Dip each slice of eggplant in egg and then in breadcrumbs, coating the whole slice. Set on baking sheets. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes. Flip eggplant slices and bake another 20 minutes. In an 8 x 8 baking dish, layer marinara sauce, eggplant slices and mozzarella cheese. Repeat two more times. Sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan cheese. Cover dish with foil and bake 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to set for 5 minutes before slicing.

Lourdes to offer ‘The Full Bodied Degree’ program in 2019
Lourdes University President Mary Ann Gawelek and Vice President for Academic Affairs Terry M. Keller announced the institution’s newest undergraduate program – a Bachelor of Science in Craft Beverages. This one-of-a-kind program prepares budding microbrewers and vintners to master the art, science and business of winemaking, brewing and distilling. The first classes will begin in August 2019. The University is the first higher education institution in the United States to offer such a comprehensive bachelor’s degree program. Known as The Full Bodied Degree, Lourdes crafted the program in response to industry needs. “Our administration and excellent faculty strive to be a University that is innovative by choice. To meet the needs of students and employers, we continue to build and expand our partnerships in the for-profit and nonprofit sectors,” said Dr. Gawelek. The craft beverage industry continues to grow. In the U.S., more than 6,600 breweries and 7,946 wineries are currently operating and employ more than 1.8 million individuals. The brewing industry in particular has realized unprecedented growth with 33,716 new brewing jobs, a 614 percent growth in brewery establishments, and a 126 percent increase in employment from 2006 to 2016.
Full Bodied Degree Program
Students can complete the program in four
years with three internships. One will be through the University’s Irish study abroad program and the others through opportunities across the U.S. Brewing and vineyard internship partners include Inside the Five, Black Cloister, Twin Oast, Upside, Heidelberg Distributing, select vineyards in California, and Galway Hooker and Nephin Distillery in Galway, Ireland. Inside the classroom, students will benefit from extensive courses in the artisanship, science, sustainability and business operation of the craft beverages industry. In line with the University’s Franciscan values, the curriculum will instill in students and future craft beverage professionals the importance of a respectful approach to the industry in regards to responsible drinking. “Lourdes has designed a program that has contemporary curriculum supported by experiences in the industry. Our brewing and vineyard partners are excited to work with our students and provide them with the professional skills and knowledge needed to be successful,” added Keller. The announcement was made at a celebration held at Inside the Five Brewery in Sylvania, owned by Brandon and Katie Fields and Chris Morris. Those interested in the Bachelor of Science in Craft Beverages program can contact an admissions counselor at 419-885-5291, luadmits@lourdes.edu or visit lourdes.edu/craftbeverages.

These students can also receive a Lourdes Scholarship ranging from $3,000 to $8,000 per year based on their GPA. An ACT or SAT score is not required to earn guaranteed admission.

The Lourdes University Women’s Soccer Team and Head Coach Jackie Phillips made its recent home match a “Gold Out” against pediatric cancer. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and gold is the official color of pediatric cancer. One of the Gray Wolves team members, Alyssa Swanson, knows all too well the effects pediatric cancer can have on young people and their families. Having beaten cancer at a young
age, she and the team wanted to raise awareness and funds for this worthy cause. Supporting the Gray Wolves “Gold Out” match was Lourdes University’s Love Your Melon student organization. “The ‘Gold Out’ match was a wonderful way to show our support for Alyssa, the Gray Wolves soccer team as well as all young people who are or have dealt with cancer,” said Anna Swartz, president of Love Your Melon.

The Northview boys’ golf team won the Northern Lakes League championship for the second consecutive year. Members shot 309 at Eagles Landing golf course in a nail biter. The score tied Perrysburg. In the NLL, six golfers compete and the best four scores are used. The Wildcats won the tiebreaker, which went to the next best score (fifth place on each team). The Wildcats have dominated league play in recent years. This is the fifth year out of the last seven that the Wildcat golfers have won the league title, with two narrow second place finishes. The varsity team consists of seniors Connor McCann and Jacob Geis, juniors Adam Czerniakowski and Teddy Schroyer, and sophomores Lucas Patterson, Max Adamshick, Cam Donahue, Jack Schlageter, and Charlie Riggs. Lucas Patterson earned first team all-league for the Wildcats. Adam Czerniakowski, Teddy Schroyer and Jacob Geis earned second team honors. Max Adamshick earned third team all-league. The feel-good story of the tournament went to Connor McCann, who is the team’s top returning golfer from last year’s league championship/state qualifying team.

Safety Patrol members know their jobs BY KILLEEN FRENCH-HILL
The Safety Patrol at Maplewood Elementary School consists of four areas of service: kindergarten guards, door holders, crossing guards, and hall monitors. Each of these categories has different responsibilities, but they all teach the importance of leadership to the fifth graders who participate in Safety Patrol. The program is open to fifth graders, who begin their training in the late spring of fourth grade. After signing up, fourth graders are trained by a current fifth grader. During the training sessions, the fourth graders shadow a guard who knows what is expected. The fourth grader learns all the details for this important position. The majority of fifth graders receive the assignment of Kindergarten Guard. The responsibilities of this type of guarding are
plentiful, yet simple. Each individual is given a classroom, along with a form of transportation. It is his or her duty to bring the kindergarteners to where they belong. There are a few challenges to this, though. As kindergarteners, it is almost natural for them to run around and want to stay close to their friends. Luckily, people have been trained for this. The guards will gather up their kindergarteners, and merely stand close to where the kindergartener would like to be until they are dismissed. Some people may think that Safety Patrol is a dreary job, but in truth it has many benefits. It is an opportunity to get to know the people around you, and practice leadership skills. In kindergarten guarding especially, you always get a warm feeling after assisting other students. As one teacher has said, “When the younger kids look at you, they think of you as the cool kids. You want to let them know that they are safe with you, and that you know how to stay safe.” That is a fact!

Sometimes friends take a step into your life and end up traveling on your road for the long haul. I returned from a quick trip up north, sans WiFi and cell coverage, and learned that my dear buddy Mike Pasko peacefully passed in his sleep. I met Mike Pasko a decade ago while writing cancer survivor stories for a small Michigan community paper. He wanted me to help him spread the word about his mission to get a cancer prevention research program to focus on his neck of the woods. Frankly, I needed a break from “cancer writing” and
6B | FIRST OCTOBER 2018 | YOURGOOD.NEWS
attempted to reschedule my meeting with Mike. Let me tell you, a writer and her lame excuses are no match for a cancer survivor who also lost his beloved son Kenny to the same disease. We met. I wrote the story and I have had the blessing of having him in my life ever since. Once Mike called to tell me that he had just collected some spare change after recycling his cans and would treat me to a Tim Horton’s apple fritter. How can a girl refuse an offer like that? During our discussion he told me he was making plans for his 40th fishing trip up north with his posse to Iron Bridge, Ontario. I couldn’t believe it. Iron Bridge! As in 1.2 hours from our cabin in Ontario. Jokingly, I asked if I could hitch a ride and next thing you know my pooch Maggie and I hit the road with 14 men heading out on their annual fishing pilgrimage. I began to wonder, as did my family and friends, just how well I knew this Mike Pasko character. Even though he was selflessly involved in his community, church and with family, you never know. My dear friend, whom I lovingly refer to as my “New Yorker,” informed me, “Whadda ya thinking? You know you could end up duct taped inside a Hefty bag at the bottom of the lake.” The dog and I ignored her concerns and my worries and arrived at Mike’s house at 5:30 a.m. We hit the road and traveled north five miles to meet the rest of the gang. Mike told the group, aged 10 to 80, that Maggie and I had been hitchhiking and he just had to stop. I think we had a few of them highly confused. I know I was. This group of “fishermen” was nothing like what I'd imagined. There were two young teens, adopted from Africa, a couple WWII vets including a gentleman from Poland, dads, college students, grandpas, sons, sons-inlaw, grandsons and someone who had to be a coach. I could tell the way he clapped to motivate us to our vehicles. To my surprise, Mike, my Corgi pooch with an attitude, a 6’7” soon-to-be college freshman that drew the short straw and was crammed in the backseat, and I made it across the border. It proved my theory that Canada will let pretty much anyone in that has a pulse and paperwork. We arrived in Iron Bridge where the pooch and I were soon picked up by my parents like a parcel and delivered to our
cabin. I was to return Friday to Iron Bridge with my mom and dad and take part in the group’s traditional fish fry and awards ceremony. I discovered that I would have to spend the night there since we would be leaving to return at “o’dark hundred” the following morning. Traveling with a group of men is one thing but staying in their camp on an overnight is another. Once again, I was pleasantly surprised. The fish dinner was just as amazing as the prayer before dinner, the handing out of the 2011 t-shirts and the awards ceremony. The older men in the group helped the boys light lanterns in the night sky in memory of those who were no longer with them, talked around the campfire and took part in the fine art of doing nothing. Meanwhile, Maggie and I were in the “grumpy old man cabin,” playing euchre and trying to finish a Molson (I’m such a lightweight). I was told that my euchre partner was Polish and witnessed the death of his family and the horrors of WWII, but you could sense his joy of life. It got me thinking that around our little table in the cabin, whether it was due to the loss of loved ones, cancer, or the ghosts of war, we were all survivors and were enjoying every minute before day’s end. I thought as the token female, I would have to endure a slew of “F words” including foolery, filth and flatulence. I did witness “F” words and they mostly came from the older generation. They were family, friendship, fraternity and faith.
Mike beat the cancer stats and died peacefully after a long, purposeful life. I know he is in his slice of Canadian heaven having a beer and reeling in a big one with his son and grandson. Put a Molson in the cooler for me, Mike, and rest in peace.
Mike Pasko, middle, and members of the “Grumpy Old Man” cabin take a break from the festivities.

Sylvania–Then and Now BY GAYLEEN GINDY LOOKING BACK
We have now gone full circle with the structures that are 100 years and older in the 5800 block of Main Street, and will finish this block with the first house on east side of Main Street, just north of Erie Street. This house is recorded as being constructed in 1897 and is therefore 121 years old this year. At that time James and Emma Gibbs owned a half-acre parcel on this corner, which they purchased in May of 1896. Then in 1898 they sold the two homes on the half-acre parcel to Oliver Young. In 1903 the Young family sold that half-acre parcel to Amon J. and Lucinda Canfield, and then in 1904 the Canfields split off a .37 acre parcel, with one of the homes on it, directly at
the corner of Main and Erie streets, while selling this home and its .23 acre parcel to Mary Estella Randall. Here’s the recorded list of owners of this home and property: 1896 – James and Emma Gibbs 1898 – Oliver Young Date not recorded - Stephan A. Young, etal. 1902 – John W. Young 1903 – Amon J. and Lucinda J. Canfield 1904 – Mary Estella Randall 1930 – Burr Randall 1941 – Ellen Ursell 1946 – Clarence Ursell 1949 – Ida Maggie and Clarence S. Ursell 1957 – James E. and Maxine Ursell 1981 – Thomas F. and Joan E. Dunham 1983 – Marjorie C. Atkins 1984 – John R. Cryan 1987 – Steven L. and Cynthia Wood 1988 – Phillip C. and Cynthia C. Richard 1988 – David S.and Deanna L. Neuman 1993 to current - William J. and Colleen S. Jiannuzzi The first census where someone would have been living in this home was the 1900 census, but because this census did not require the address to be recorded, it has been impossible to determine who was living in the home. The Young family owned the home at this time, but are not listed living in Sylvania at this census, so they were probably renting the house out. By the 1910 census, this home was owned by Mary Estella Randall, however, she and her husband Dallas Randall, and their son Burr Randall, were living with their elderly aunt, Clara Huling, on Maplewood Avenue in Sylvania, taking care of her in her elderly years. Before the 1920 census was taken, Clara Huling

1997 was moved to Medina, Ohio to live with another great niece. At that time Mary Estella Randall and her husband Dallas moved into this home on Main Street. Mary Green Randall was the daughter of Horace Green, one of the first physicians in Sylvania. She grew up on a property in downtown Sylvania, when it was just a onelane dirt road, and her father died at a very young age in 1849 during the cholera epidemic. After she was married she was elected the first female to serve on the Sylvania Board of Education, was well-known throughout Sylvania, and was often called on to be the historical speaker at school graduation commencements and local historical events. (She and her family’s histories are extensive throughout Sylvania. Her son A.H. Randall was elected mayor of Sylvania). In 1918 her husband Albert Dallas Randall died. In the 1920 census Mary Estella Randall was listed living in this home. This census indicated that she owned the home, free of mortgage, was 73 years old, and widowed. Living with her was her son Burr Randall, 37 years old, single, and working as a brakeman for the Toledo & Western Railway. Mrs. Randall died in 1929 and the next year this house was transferred to her son, Burr Randall. In 1930 Burr Randall married Ruth Felt. They continued to own this home until 1941. In the 1930 census Burr and Ruth Randall are still listed living here. He was 48 years old and employed as a laborer for the postal service and she was listed as 43 years old and working as a nurse at a hospital. By the 1940 census Randall still owned this home but he and Ruth were found living in Monclova Township, and renting this home out to Susie Langham, 58 years old, divorced, employed as a cook at a restaurant. Living with her was her daughter, Lenore Langham, 37 years old, single, employed as a librarian at the public library. Also living in the home was her daughter, Delpha Polland, 30 years old, married, and her three children: Phyllis Polland – 8 years old; Janyth Polland – 5 years old; and John Polland – 1 year old.
2018 In 1941 Ellen Ursell purchased this home. Ellen Smith had married Clarence Ursell in 1917 in Lucas County. In the 1940 census, they were living on Centennial Road in Sylvania Township with their son James Ursell, at this time listed as 15 years old. Clarence was listed as 48 years old and employed as a “mixer man – concrete tile.” His wife Ellen was listed as 41 years old and employed as the proprietor of a restaurant. As of this census they had five lodgers living with them. The Ursells moved from Centennial Road to this Main Street home in 1941. In 1942 Clarence Ursell completed his registration card for World War II and listed his address as 5812 N. Main St. He listed his employer as Toledo Concrete Pipe Company. Their son James Ursell is shown graduating from Burnham High School in 1943, and according to numerous letters to the local newspapers, he served through the end of World War II, and then he returned to the Naval Air Station before being honorably discharged in 1946. In October of 1946 Clarence Ursell was issued a building permit to rebuild and repair the front porch with a concrete floor and railings. Ellen Ursell died in 1947, at the age of 48 years old, after a long illness, according to her obituary notice. Services were held at the Main Street residence. Clarence later married Ida “Maggie” Strohl Frank. She had also lost her husband in 1947. In 1949 this home was transferred into their names. In 1957 James and Maxine Ursell purchased the home and owned and lived here through 1981 when the home sold to Thomas F. and Joan E. Dunham. The suburban directories starting with 1982 listed David Hinch living here; 1983 through 1987 - Alex Skitowski; 1988 through 1991 - David S. Neuman; 1992 through 1993 - Thomas T. Hadeed. In 1993 Mr. and Mrs. Jiannuzzi purchased the home and have lived here since that time. In 2004 a building permit was issued to add a family room addition on the south side of the home.

Back to the Basics
Annual wellness visits are basic to maintaining the health of your dog or cat. This appointment is so much more than getting shots. A complete history is the first basic that must be covered. Knowing your pet’s eating, drinking, and voiding behavior is basic to being a great pet owner. Because we cannot ask our patients the questions it is you, the owner that must supply the answer. The basic physical exam should involve a nose to tail look at the pet’s mouth, eyes, ears, and skin. A few things we might find include tartar and red swollen gums in most pets over 2-3 years old. Bad breath means advanced dental disease, indicating infection and pain which means the pet is past due for a thorough dental cleaning and possible oral surgery. Eyes in an aging dog and cat may have a slight bluish color in the lens. This is called lenticular or nuclear sclerosis. Until advanced it does not affect the vision. This change is not the beginning of a cataract. Ear infections are common in many dogs so a close look with an otoscope is critical. The hair and skin need to be checked for infection, scaly skin, fleas and ticks and areas of hair loss. Remember, all animals with fleas do not itch and all itchy pets do not have fleas. Monthly oral flea and tick preventives given year-round are recommended. Once the visible portions of the pet are examined it is time to evaluate the inside. The heart and lungs are auscultated to evaluate the heart rate and rhythm and to be sure a murmur has not developed. As pets age the heart can develop an abnormal sound called a heart murmur. The presence of a murmur should trigger a series of heart related questions and a recommendation for a 3- view chest film. A murmur will eventually cause the heart to enlarge at which time cardiac medications can be prescribed to slow down the hearts deterioration. Prior to heart enlargement no medication is helpful or indicated. Palpation to the abdomen to feel for
changes in the intestines, kidneys and other palpable contents is important. The window to a pet’s overall health is then completed and a complete data base of lab tests is recommended. When done every year this basic test, which includes a blood count, chemistry panel and urinalysis, can help the pet’s doctor pick up on aging changes, which can be lessened with early detection. I want to emphasize urinalysis as we have seen too many pets for second opinions that never had a urine sample run. A bladder infection cannot be diagnosed from a caught sample, but other valuable data can be determined. A cystocenteses is the only way to get a sterile urine sample when a kidney or bladder infection is suspected. You might have noticed that I did not include a rectal temperature as a basic test for a pet. Many pets are stressed to the max when attempting to take their temperature. So, at a healthy visit a rectal temperature is not indicated as it is not a fear-free procedure. The basics of an eye exam are three tests that all abnormal eyes should receive. Tear production with a Schirmer tear test, a fluorescein stain for a cornea scratch or plugged tear duct and Tonopen for checking eye pressures, should be done if indicated. The specialists run these tests every time a referred case is evaluated. They are basic to a complete eye exam. Let’s leave the basics with one final piece of advice. A doctor cannot tell what a growth is by looking, squeezing or pushing. If your dog or cat has a growth(s) that has been there over a month and is bigger than a lima bean it should have a needle biopsy done to determine what it is. If a growth is growing rapidly have it removed and always send it in for a pathology diagnosis. The important wellness exam, history and testing as indicated should be done in a calm, fear-free environment, not at a mobile or pet store vaccine clinic. Don’t procrastinate - vaccinate - now that we have covered the basics! Canine influenza vaccine should be part of every dogs protection protocol!

THE MOUSE TRAP
Windows 10 is about to have a large update
In mid October, Microsoft is putting out a large update to their operating system. If you did not know, the current system is referred to as Janis Weber Redstone 4, which means Redstone 5 is the next update. If you are running Windows 7, expect your computer to take another hit in its speed and efficiency. This update is meant for Windows 10 only, so check and make sure you are not set for automatic updates or at least be set to be asked before installing. If Windows 7 users can avoid this update, it would be a very good idea. Windows 7 only has little more than a year left before it is not supported. This does not mean you have to stop using it, but if you have issues they will not have the tools to help you. Yup...that means you are probably looking at getting a new computer. Please back up your computer files externally to a cloud and or to an external drive. I can help you with that process if you need support. Again, avoid the October Windows 10 update if you have Windows 7. In the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, Microsoft implements a new storage feature called Storage Sense. This will automatically free up storage space on your hard drive by getting rid of old files you don’t use anymore. It will take these files and back them up on OneDrive, so you will still have access to them without clogging up your hard drive. You’ll have to manually enable this feature in Redstone 5, but it could be a great option for
anyone who doesn’t want to manually sort through hundreds of files to optimize storage performance. A new feature spotted by people using an early version of Redstone 5 is the cloud clipboard, which will allow users to copy and paste across different devices thanks to the new cloud-powered clipboard. The user can trigger the new function by simply hitting Windows Key + C. The copied content will then be available on other Windows 10 devices, and in the future Android and iOS devices as well. Microsoft is listening to its users and pulling Cortana out of Windows Search in Redstone 5. The next version of Windows 10 will have a new search experience that deemphasizes Cortana’s features. Searching for stuff also has a new experience, with a new dual-panel UI that makes searching for apps, documents, and more, much easier. Search is much wider now, allowing for more content and information to be displayed on the screen. As you can tell, there are lots of changes coming so fasten your seat belt. I will help you with the details as they appear. It should not be too bad. Looks who’s talking?

THE ITALIAN GARDENER At the risk of exposing a soft spot (or two) in this curmudgeonly Italian exterior (I am the of the antithesis ‘Growing Up Gotti’ impression of Italian men), let us spend this gorgeous fall afternoon Rick Cozza discussing the wonder of berries and the enigma of Hostas (Roget, eat your heart out!). I did some fairly extensive work for a lady in Sylvania several years ago that was firm in her “No berries!” directive in re-landscaping her backyard. I was powerless to convince her, because someone years before had made a poor suggestion to her and the birds had covered her patio with purple droppings that fall (sorry!). But a fall yard without berries is close to dead, excitement-wise. As I look out the window of my second-floor, corner office at the World Headquarters Building of The Italian Gardener, Ltd. (impressive, huh?), I see red berries on the Dogwood by the deck, a mass of red berries along the back fence, with eight Winterberry Hollies (Ilex verticillata) serving as a low screen, the BB-like purple berries of one Purple Beautyberry (Callicarpa dichotoma), the coolest-ever bright pink berries of a Coralberry under the kitchen window (Symphoricarpos), the purple-black berries of five Black Chokeberries lining the driveway bed (Aronia melencarpa). Berries, berries, berries! And even though the birds do indeed eat them in early winter, they will not leave a trace behind. The yard is so much brighter for having them, and the yard is also so much the better for the constant activity of the birds that are attracted to them. And speaking of birds, at some point this month, the robins and the cedar waxwings begin their massive flocking prior to migration, and they literally cover our street’s Crabapple trees, devouring the fruits they need for the energy to head south. It is a sight to behold ... thousands of them covering the

trees in the neighborhood. Berries, berries, berries! OK, how about Hostas ... not the ugly green and white striped dinosaurs from a bygone era, but the new and wonderful 21st century newcomers from the masterfully creative Hosta breeders. I have taken out so many ugly Hostas over the years, in such great numbers, that I fully ascribe to the philosophy of, “Friends don’t let friends plant ugly Hostas!” I believe that there was once ONE ugly green and white Hosta (a remnant of man’s fall in the Garden Of Eden, no doubt), from which every subsequent gardener split off one for each of his/her friends ... and that is how we arrived at today’s morass of ugly Hostas. I removed ten from my new yard when I moved in, each 3-4’ across, and all the same, lining the front walk. Removal meant splitting each into four liftable segments and two truckloads to the Recycle Center, over a week’s time. As I treated my Hostas with slug bait last year, I counted ... 92! Ouch! But all varieties that visually describe themselves, like ‘Guacamole’, ‘Orange Marmalade,’ ‘Spilt Milk,’ ‘Blue Cadet,’ ‘Blue Ivory,’ and the brilliantly green/white ‘Patriot’ series (‘Patriot,’ ‘Minuteman,’ ‘Concord,’ etc.), which are a bright, more exciting green/white. One of my favorites is ‘Krossa Regal,’ which is an upright, fountain-like shape, taller than wide, while all those around it are wide and flat. ‘Blue Mouse Ears’ is just as it says ... blue and 6” across, and my favorite ‘June,’ which is a striking bluish/gold combination, is awesome in a mass of three or so. So, berries and Hostas are your friends ... though care and research as to size and shape is always in order. And remember that real men do indeed do the cooking every evening at dinner. Real men actually do eat quiche. And some real men actually eat quiche while waxing their Mustang convertible and watching the Steelers. And, berries add soooooooo very much to the excitement of a fall garden, and Hostas can actually be absolutely awesome and exciting, not just place-holders in the garden. All 92 of them, in my case. What have men and gardening come to?
CRAIG STOUGH MAYOR’S MESSAGE
Sylvania River Trail – Phase II
As many of you may already be aware, construction of Phase II of the Sylvania River Trail has been underway this summer and is now a p p r o a c h i n g Craig Stough completion. A few items still remain, including installing lights, signage and handrails. This work is expected to be completed and this new trail section is expected to be ready and open for public use by mid-October. Last year on Nov. 6, 2017, Sylvania City Council voted unanimously to award a contract for this Phase II construction work to the low bidder, Miller Brothers Construction, Inc. of Archbold, Ohio, in the amount of $2,487,260.26. Its bid was 3.5 percent under

TOWNSHIP TOPICS
Appeal denied
The Sylvania Township board of zoning appeals has denied an appeal of the order that a family remove its pig from a home at 9328 St. Angela’s Way. The ruling came after the board held a recess of more than a month since the initial hearing. The issue began in April when the township zoning department received an anonymous complaint that a pig was being kept at that address. The township compliance officer was unable to verify that complaint, but photos of the pig outside of the home were sent to the department in June. The township zoning office found that the family was in violation of a zoning resolution that prohibits maintaining a farm animal/livestock on a lot of one acre or less. After a notice of violation was sent to the property owners, Todd and Melissa Crandell, an appeal was filed. The basis of the appeal was that the Crandell’s considered the pig, named Milo, as a “comfort animal and domesticated pig,” and wanted to keep it at their home. During the initial hearing, Stevan Groth, an attorney for the Crandells, argued to the board that Milo is neither livestock nor a farm animal. He said the pig spends most of his time indoors and has his own room in the basement of the family home. He added that the pig is beneficial for Crandell for generalized anxiety issues and he submitted a letter with a “legitimate diagnosis from a licensed professional” to that effect. Crandell told the board that Milo was initially brought home as a pet when the family lived elsewhere, but that he has bonded with it. The family bought the home in the township’s Twelve Lakes subdivision in March. They rented the home prior to buying it. They also argued that the limit of one acre has no rational basis. The board, in its decision, said that that is a constitutional matter and they have no jurisdiction to determine that issue. The board wrote that the zoning resolution does not state that the animal actually be used as a farm animal or livestock, “but only that it be within” that class of animals. They noted that pigs are specifically included in the resolution prohibiting such animals. The board also determined that Crandell “does not suffer from a disability as that term is defined by” the Fair Housing Amendment Act. Groth said he intends to file a lawsuit
the engineer’s estimate. This new construction will more than double the length of the existing River Trail. The new section will extend east from Harroun Road, across the Flower Hospital campus, over the Ottawa River on a new bridge, under U.S. 23 using the existing expressway bridges over the Ottawa River, and up to Monroe Street adjacent to the northbound U.S. 23 exit ramp and the Burger King restaurant. This new route will be much more pleasant for pedestrians and bike riders alike than crossing over U.S. 23 on the busy Monroe Street bridge. Many challenges had to be overcome to make the River Trail extension possible. Much of the Trail had to be elevated on platforms, as it passes over and along the Ottawa River floodway, to keep the Trail a respectful distance from the Ebeid Hospice Residence. Several habitat and environmental issues had to be addressed. Options for installing pedestrian/bike crossing lights on Harroun Road are being reviewed and evaluated. The earlier idea of passing under the Harroun Road bridge proved unworkable due to the width and
Halloween
challenging the decision. Motorists are likely to see a fair mixture of super heroes and princesses on the neighborhood streets of Sylvania Township from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 31. That is the time period for Halloween trick or treating recently approved by the township trustees. John Zeitler, township administrator, told trustees those hours coincide with the hours set by the city of Sylvania. Drivers at around that time are asked to be extra vigilant for youngsters getting treats. Police will be patrolling neighborhoods to keep our children safe.
Prepping for falling leaves
Although the leaves have not yet begun their annual cascade in Sylvania Township, the road department crews have tested and prepared the necessary equipment to begin the collecting process, which will begin Oct. 15. Leaf collection will continue until the township completes its last cycle, covering 132 miles of roadway, beginning Dec. 1. Residents will be able to track progress by going to the township website and locating a map divided into grids. Locate the property and call the township leaf-collection hot line at 419-517-1620. A recording, updated daily, will inform you where collection has taken place and where crews are expected to be working next. Rob Nash, manager of the road department, said a strict schedule is difficult to maintain because when the most leaves will fall can’t be predicted with much accuracy. Rain and snow can delay efforts to pick up the leaves. “Collecting a pile of dry leaves is a lot easier than when that pile is soggy with rain and sometimes frozen in places,” he said. Some property owners have begun to make the chore a little easier on the crews by using a mulching mower and mowing over the fallen leaves to provide nutrients for their lawns over the winter. Several studies have found it is a beneficial way of dealing with fallen leaves as well as lawn enrichment. Leaves cleared from the yard should be placed alongside, but not in the roadway. Much of the collecting is done using large vacuums which can be fouled if sticks, garden waste or other matter is in the leaf pile. The road department asks that you not use plastic bags and be sure the leaf pile does not include anything but leaves.
height of the existing bridge opening. Further, easements for the Trail had to be granted by ProMedica Flower Hospital, Sylvania Country Club and Burger King to allow this new public pathway across their properties. Thank you to all three parties for your cooperation and willingness to allow this public improvement to become a reality! Construction cost is always a challenge, and the city received wonderful cooperation in this regard as well. The city’s expense will be about $850,000, only about a third of the total construction cost. ProMedica Flower Hospital
contributed $400,000. Another $850,000 was received from the Clean Ohio Trails Fund program, and another $400,000 from the state of Ohio Capital Improvement Budget thanks to the legislative help of Barbara Sears. Sylvania can be proud of its wonderful and newly extended River Trail. It is an asset to the community, opening up beautiful natural areas along the Ottawa River for our residents to enjoy and exercise along. Thank you and congratulations to all involved!
representative if he could stop by so he and representatives from other departments could thank him for his work in helping obtain a regional grant of more than $700,000 for new radio equipment. The chief said the grant was of particular importance because the equipment currently in use is a type which Motorola has said they will discontinue. “We will need to replace all of them,” Chief Ramm said, but the grant will go a long way in reducing the hit to the department's budget. The grant from FEMA is for $712,820. It requires a 10 percent match from each local government. The money allows for the purchase of individual portable radios and for mobile radios installed in vehicles. Chief Ramm pointed out that each individual portable costs about $8,000,
although with several area departments making a large order together there should be a good discount. Sylvania Township's share of the grant, including the match, will allow for the expenditure of about $100,000 for radio equipment. The chief said he had some money in the budget for radio equipment and he hopes to use some of that for needed items at the reduced price. Mr. Latta said he was glad to be of help, and noted that firefighters, “are the ones who make our neighborhoods safe.” John Jennewine, a township trustee who was at the meeting at the Sylvania Avenue station, said the grant is particularly welcome because the money is to be used for equipment which is critical to the performance and safety of the firefighters.
Fire Department Accepts Grant Money
Springfield Township Assistant Fire Chief Richard Helminski, Richfield Township Fire Chief Ron Tate, Sylvania Firefighter Jim Wolfe, Assistant Chief Chris Nye, Chief Mike Ramm, Assistant Chief Mike Froelich and Maumee Fire Chief Mike Potter are on hand to thank Congressman Robert Latta for a FEMA grant they along with Toledo, Rossford and Jerusalem Township Fire Departments received allowing the seven departments to purchase new radios.

THE STARS SPEAK “All things on earth point home in old October; sailors to sea, travelers to walls and fences, hunters to field and hollow and the long voice of the hounds, the lover to the love he has forsaken.” Thomas Wolfe Dear Readers, The fall season brings with it a passing of time, as the world and all of nature, in its ultimate glory, brings forth a sense of reality and truth. As the trees shed their leaves, and the sweet smell of wonder permeates the air around us, and the cosmos continues on its yearly course, we are indeed reminded that change is imminent within each and every one of us. On a personal note, what a crazy summer we leave behind. For many of you, it has been a sort of whirlwind, not even stopping to catch a breath. Now as we move forward, other than Mercury, the planet of chat moving into retrograde next month, November through December will be smooth sailing for most of us. Changes are imminent, totally inevitable, however without change there is no motivation for growth. So welcome the changes ahead while working on implementing them positively into your life. Sometimes it's better to go with the flow of the current than against it. Warm hugs to all ...
Venus in retrograde in scorching Scorpio- Oct. 5 through Nov. 16
Situations get heated up! Venus represents your values, relationships, beauty, romance, desires and how we attract love. Every two years Venus moves retrograde allowing us to reexamine. She brings back old desires, attitudes, relationship problems and a different look at our value system when she moves retrograde. Problems and difficulties that were unresolved will be brought back up for a reexamination. This is an excellent time to examine the unfulfilled desires, hurt feelings, and misunderstandings of a past relationship. Be prepared to re-experience old wounds so you can free yourself from painful sufferings. It is a time to reconfigure your relationship wants and expectations. This particular retrograde, occurring in the intense Pluto-ruled sign of Scorpio, will make financial concerns a focal point.
New moon Oct. 8 in Libra
A time to reexamine relationships, a time to reestablish ground rules. Open your heart; create a new plan of action. Libra is about relationships. It is a sign seeking balance and
harmony almost at any cost, and typically willing to please others. It has a dislike of confrontation and a strong need for maintaining peace and stability. But justice and an egalitarian spirit also motivate it. Venus, the ruler of Libra, conjunct with the Sun brings about a sense of peace.
Full moon Oct. 23 in Taurus
Emotions may flare, but at a steadier rate. The full moon in Taurus on Oct. 23 puts the focus back on the fixed signs, if only temporarily, reminding us what’s worth hanging on to and what we need to release as we head into a period with so much change, and anything in Taurus hates change. The Moon is usually very comfortable in earthy Taurus, but its opposition to the Sun in Scorpio can make for unrest. While Taurus is generally known as easy going and goodnatured, when the Bull gets mad, it takes a long time to cool down. Scorpio hides, fumes and then detonates. Keep in mind that all three of these signs are on the possessive side and given to occasional bouts of jealousy. In other words, this is a very bad moment to prod these folks, because you could find yourself amputated from their lives.
SIGNS: Aries (March 20-April 19)
This month’s forecast centers on money and personal resources as the upcoming full moon occurring in your 2nd house of possessions, along with Venus retrograding, may be causing you to feel unsettled Sometimes this is merely a perception as opposed to a fact. However, at this time it may be your reality. Hopefully your fears will lessen after this transit has passed by midNovember. Bottom line, you need to feel more grounded this week and pay better attention to details as opposed to just fast forwarding.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
An intense, out of the ordinary month for you as Venus in retrograde occurring in your area of partners, may be exhausting to say the least. Ruled by Libra, your desire to maintain a sense of continuum while trying to sort through your own needs may be exasperating. Staying calm and going with the flow is a good resolve. Also, it's important to not make any huge financial decisions during this hectic period, try to hold off until the end of November if possible. Demands from partners, personal and work may cause you to feel overwhelmed, so taking a step back and pacing your words is highly recommended.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Your desire to feel good, to focus on better habits, health and fitness is well indicated as
12B | FIRST OCTOBER 2018 | YOURGOOD.NEWS
you see yourself more than likely paying better attention to your body's signals. It can be a good time to jumpstart a health regimen, or merely plan it out for after the holidays. Also, your sense of responsibility may cause you to feel as though you are on overload. Setting boundaries may be just what you need to keep you going in the right direction.
hopefully allowing yourself to move forward. This is about clarity on every level. Get yourself situated, ready to meet any of the challenges ahead. Also, your area of friendships may go through a turning point. You may find yourself feeling a bit more obligated than usual, as the demands from others could cause you to retreat back into your head.
For the next few weeks or so, importance is placed on work and home. Your need to do it all may cause you to feel overwhelmed and totally exasperated. It’s important to realize that during this cycle, you need to pace yourself while still accomplishing your tasks. A smart move as Saturn in your area of relationships allows for structure while Venus in Scorpio in retrograde may be challenging to say the least.
Venus in retrograde in the private sector of your chart may bring unresolved matters and/or people to the surface. For many of you this is a much-needed time for introspection, however, the influence of the planets in transit may have you twirling in different directions. This period will definitely force you out of your temporary cocoon. Use this time to work on your creativity, focus on taking a better look at yourself and your partnerships.
Cancer (June 21-July 20)
Leo (July 21-Aug. 22)
As influences occur in your area of work and home, the framework of your life seems to be focused on how you see yourself, and how those closest to you may be seeing you. Specifically speaking, family related issues might be taking way too much time, however it's up to you to take the reigns. Take a little time to focus on your given priorities, while trying to remedy the situation at hand. As you approach the end of the month, much of this anxiety may have cleared out.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
So much of your life depends on what you give to other people. This is clearly a time to focus on you, paying close attention to your own needs and priorities. Changes are a given, but may be for the better. Also, your spending may be out of control, so be extra careful of spending habits. Take care when dealing with property or business matters. Read between the lines.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
With much activity triggering your own sign, specifically Venus, your ruler in Scorpio and now in retrograde, it's up to you to go with the flow. Keep long term goals and perspectives well at hand, the knowledge that you gain during this cycle will allow you to accomplish anything you set your mind to. You're actually in a pretty good cycle right now, a good time to get yourself back in the groove. The areas of concern are finances as well as relationships.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You’re caught between a rock and a hard space this month, as Venus now in a retrograde motion in your own sign may have you feeling pulled between what to do, and what not to do. It's all about letting go of matters that have held you back, and
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 20)
Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 19)
A mixture of challenging yet interesting aspects are transiting your area of friends, co-workers and groups creating a feeling of low tolerance. Also, anything relating to finances needs to be monitored carefully and may undergo a shift as you find yourself pulling from different resources. By the end of this month you will feel as though you are able to take on any endeavor.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
It's all about career and partnerships and hopefully getting it right as Venus, now in retrograde, hovers over the zenith part of your chart. It’s very important to take stock of every given situation that comes your way. Be aware of the fact the much can be said about patience and perseverance. In addition, take heed when dealing with home/family related matters. Be the leader, but also the guide.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 19)
Paying special attention to your own instincts is what you are best at. This can and will be a prosperous month for you as long as you walk the talk. A strong yet fruitful stage in your life is about to begin, more so in areas of family and job. It's up to you to follow the path. It will lead you in the right direction.

Robert Lanigan
Bob Lanigan was born on April 26,1928, in Brooklyn, N.Y. to John and Katherine Lanigan and passed away Sept. 12, 2018. He graduated from St. Francis College in Brooklyn in 1949 with a degree in economics and later received an Honorary Doctorate degree. Bob started work at Owens-Illinois in 1950 at the O-I Fairmont, W.Va., glass container plant. Bob married Mary Elizabeth McCormick on Dec. 30, 1950, and moved to Toledo, working in administration and became a senior industrial engineer. He then became an assistant to the head of the glass container division, where he was assigned a number of projects. Bob was then transferred to the forest products division where he became the head of administration.
Subsequently he was promoted to head the forest products divisions paper mill operations including its five mills. He then became the head of corporate planning, reporting to the CEO and president. O-I bought Lily Tulip in 1969 and he was selected to run that company. In 1972, he was made head of the glass container division, O-I’s largest division. In 1975, he was named executive vice president of the company, general manager of a packaging group. He became president and COO of domestic operations and subsequently president of International Operations in 1979. He became chairman and CEO in 1984. In 1987, O-I was acquired by Kohlberg, Kravis and Roberts (KKR) in a leverage buyout, keeping its headquarters in Toledo. In 1988, O-I acquired Brockway Glass Company, which was challenged by the

Federal Trade Commission over antitrust concerns. O-I prevailed in asserting the relative market was all containers not just glass. Bob retired in 1990 after 40 years of service. At various times while serving at O-I and in his retirement he served on many boards of public companies, including Dun & Bradstreet, Hershey, Chrysler, Diamlar, Sonat, Transocean, Coleman, Cognizant, IMS Health and The Toledo Trust Company. He was also on the board of the private company Barry–Wehmiller from 1980 to the present, while the company grew from $70 million to $3 billion. Bob also became a cofounder and investor in Palladium LLC, a New York private equity firm. His national reputation as a business executive was critical in giving credibility to this new company. He helped in forming a management team, raising operating capital and soliciting for investment. Locally, Bob served as chairman of the Toledo Symphony Orchestra and was a significant contributor to the ProMedica Toledo Hospital generations tower. In his retirement Bob’s main focus was on his family. Weekly Sunday dinners were full of humor and warmth. He and Betty took their children and spouses on trips to Ireland, Argentina, and on a cruise of the Alaska inside passage He actively followed his grandchildren and great-grandchildren’s education and sports activities. Playing tennis, snow skiing in Colorado and golfing with them was great fun for him. He loved to fish, hunt and we’re sure he has seen every western and war movie ever made. Bob was preceded in death by his wife, Betty; parents and sister Helen Ahearn. He is survived by his children, Kenneth Lanigan (Kim), Betty Jane, “B.J.” Snavely (David), Kathryn Pilewskie (Mark), Jeanne Schafer (Dr. Richard) and Suzanne Lanigan (Anthony Donofrio). Papa will always be remembered with love by his grandchildren, Taylor Lanigan, Caitlin Acampa(JohnClaude), D. Robert Snavely (Elizabeth), Thomas Snavely, Kyle (Keith) Newnham, Jane Pilewskie, Anthony, “A.J.” Georgetti and Spencer Georgetti as well as five greatgrandchildren. He also was loved by numerous step-grandchildren and stepgreat-grandchildren. His sister, Jane McGuire, also survives him.
The Lanigan family is extremely grateful to Leigh Prebe, executive assistant for 20 years, whom he depended on for all business concerns and many family needs. Her patience and love for us all will never be forgotten. Additionally, many thanks to Gloria Green, his home health care professional, for her tireless and outstanding care for our dad over the last two years. Your wonderful care will always be greatly appreciated. We are also so grateful for the excellent care and friendship from Dr. Thomas McAlear, Dr. James Bingle, Dr. Rex Mowat and Dr. Douglas Paone of Naples, Fla. Those planning an expression of sympathy are asked to consider Christ the King Church, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of Ohio/SE Michigan, 24359 Northwestern Highway, Ste. 125, Southfield, MI 48075, or a charity of their choice.
Loretta Jane Tucker
Loretta Jane Tucker “The Best Mom” passed away Sept. 23, 2018, at Heartland of Waterville. The daughter of Russell and Martha Gephart, she was born Jan. 16, 1938, in Toledo, Ohio. She was a graduate of Scott High School where she was a majorette. She received her bachelor’s degree from The Ohio State University as a dental hygienist. She worked for several area dentist offices throughout the years. Loretta liked to bake, sew and spoil her grandchildren. She spent her winters in Naples, Fla., at the Bayside Villas where she had many very close friends. Loretta will be remember most as a dedicated mother and grandmother, who worked tirelessly to provide for her family. She is survived by her children Linda (Dave) Ball, Shawn Leister, Julie (Paul) Ketterman, Tim Leister; grandchildren Kelly (Brian) Downey, Ryan Ball, RJ Leister, Luke & Lauren Ketterman, Russell Leister; sisters Marda (Jim) Dewey, Iona (Bob) Valentine; many nieces and nephews; and special friend John Lavery.

Rev. Dr. Kim is next Chidester lecturer
The Chidester Lecture Series at Sylvania United Church of Christ, 7240 Erie St. in Sylvania, will continue on Oct. 20 and 21 with Rev. Dr. Grace Ji-Sun Kim. Originally from South Korea, Dr. Kim is an ordained Presbyterian minister and is currently serving as an Associate Professor of Theology at Earlham School of Religion in
Indiana. She is a much sought-after speaker who has written 15 books and lectured in more than ten countries. In the summer of 2018, she was part of a peace delegation to Korea led by the Rev. Jesse Jackson. In her 4 p.m. Saturday lecture, “Embracing the Other,� Dr. Kim develops a new constructive global pneumatology that works toward gender and racial-ethnic justice drawing on concepts from Asian and indigenous cultures to reimagine the divine as a “Spirit God� who is restoring shalom in the world. Through the power of Spirit God, Kim says, our brokenness is healed and we can truly love and embrace the Other. Tickets for the lecture are $15 and will be sold at the door. Additionally, during the adult 9:30 a.m. Sunday school on Oct. 21, Dr. Kim will lead a discussion based on her most recent book, “Healing Our Broken Humanity,� where she will share ten practices which will enable listeners to be the new humanity in Jesus Christ. She will also be preaching at both Sunday worship services, 8:30 and 10:40 a.m. Copies of Dr. Kim's books, “Embracing the Other�and “Healing Our Broken Humanity� will be available for purchase by cash or check only. Call 419-882-0048.
Donors, board members, clergy, city officials, a representative from the State Of Ohio Governor’s Office, and the families of Mom’s House gathered on Sept. 21 to celebrate and officially open a new state of the art playground at Mom’s House. The former playground was over 21 years old and had little variety or options for play and lacked learning opportunities. It was also difficult and expensive to maintain. The new playground is an extension of the classroom, providing space for gross motor development, arts, science, and sensory exploration. Mom’s House staff cited information that today’s children spend less time playing outside than any previous generation. This play deficit is having profound consequences for children physically, socially, and cognitively. Play allows children to use their
creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. It is through play that children at an early age engage and interact with the world around them, a habit Mom’s House has been committed to supporting for 26 years. “This project has been in the works for several years. Its extravagance is a reflection of the Mom’s House mission and intense efforts we make in changing every aspect of our young families’ lives. We are extremely proud and grateful to our donors and supporters,� said Christina Rodriguez, Executive Director. The project is sponsored by Mercy Foundation, LaValley Foundation, The Andersons Foundation, Cornerstone Church and supported by dozens of other donors.
Dr. Grace Ji-Sun Kim
