Third annual I Love Olander Day planned

BY ERIKA BURI

TOPS namesake, Olander Park, is a recreational oasis in Sylvania with three playgrounds, four volleyball courts, rental facilities, and a 1.1 mile trail surrounding a pristine spring-fed lake, perfect for boating and fishing. In 2017, a group of Olander Park neighbors wanted to bring more awareness of the park to the community. Through their dedication and efforts, the community festival, I Love Olander Day, was added to the TOPS roster of annual programs. This year the event takes place on Sept. 22 from noon to 5 pm.

I Love Olander Day showcases everything

TOPS has to offer the community. This year’s celebration of Lake Olander will include free boat rentals and water activities. Visitors will enjoy local food trucks, live music and entertainment, kids activities, and a TOPS Market, featuring local arts and vendors. Admission and parking are free for everyone.

Many volunteers are needed for this event.

For those needing service hours or groups that would like to help out in the community, this is a great opportunity. There are also a number of ways for businesses to promote themselves during the event. For more information on volunteering and sponsorship, visit the I Love Olander Day page at olanderpark.com/iloveolanderday.

The Dangers of Attempting to Fix Your Own Dryer

Home maintenance is a task that can lead to large amounts of money coming out of homeowners’ pockets when they rely on professionals.

Many times, it seems the smartest idea is to first see if it can be DIY’d, but there are many projects that should only be done by a professional.

Repairing or cleaning a dryer vent, for example, can be dangerous for homeowners who do not know the proper techniques to complete the task.

The experts at Dryer Vent Wizard of Greater Toledo, the nation’s leader in dryer vent repair, cleaning and maintenance, share the following consequences of attempting to clean or repair a dryer vent: • Airborne Hazards: A clogged dryer vent can lead to a moisture buildup, causing mold. Additionally, the buildup of lint or other debris blocking the vent can cause bacteria growth or harmful gasses to form like carbon monoxide. Attempting to DIY dryer problems can put home owners in contact with these airborne dangers.

• Further Damage to Dryer: If dryer vents are clogged with items, attempting to remove it by yourself can allow them to get pushed deeper inside the vent line, causing more harm than when you started.

• Broken and Stuck Cleaning Brushes: Dryer vents can be many feet long with bends. This makes them the perfect place to lose or break off a cleaning brush with no way to retrieve it.

• Missed Fire Hazard Warning Signs: If you attempt to clean or repair by yourself, you are more likely to miss warning signs that your dryer has become a fire hazard.

Hazards include mold, pet hair and lint buildup, delayed drying times and more.

Administration (WPA). The garden explodes with color and wonder as one travels down its paths; the plants and art combine into a magical place for imaginations to run.

Butterflies, clever signage, educational stations and architectural artifacts from the old Maplewood school connect visitors to the wonders of nature.

Originally, Georgie and seven mothers from the neighborhood created the garden, which started as a small shade garden and has grown into a learning center for a couple of generations of students. Georgie mentioned that some adults have stopped by to pull weeds and have reintroduced themselves as students who attended her gardening club as children.

Under the expert guidance of Keyees, 32 students from the school participate in an after school program guided by “The Junior Master Gardener's Handbook.” As Keyees explained, the children from each grade are assigned a grade specific plot within the garden and all help tend to the general gardening needs. More than just growing a garden, Keyees provides a curriculum of learning to allow the children to explore their artistic, mathematic and community life skills, including patience, responsibility, bonding and healthy eating.

The garden has many themed areas. Among the theme gardens, one touches on a lesson tied to colonial history. Keyees explained that footwear did not fit well in early days and to make them more comfortable a beautifully soft herb, "Lamb’s Ear” was used. The garden also has a butterfly nursery where the cocoons are expected to open in the next couple of weeks to produce beautiful butterflies. Big butterfly attractors include the Gray-headed Coneflower, Swamp Milkweed and Joe Pye Weed.

BY MARY HELEN DARAH

Back to school advice from a seasoned parent parent seemed to already have in his/her cart? NO. I do, however, miss the excitement of new teachers, friends and sharpened pencils. There is an abundance of eye rolling that occurs when you tell parents that they will miss the back-to-school mayhem but when your nest is vacant, you find yourself longing to search for matching socks, missing lunchboxes and the Olympic-like event of lunging for the last remaining box of Kleenex to bring an end to the supply shopping. Since I am no longer part of the fall frenzy, I offer some advice for parents as a “seasoned” parent.

Find an Anal-Retentive Mom ASAP

I found myself home alone for the first time in decades. My oldest daughter bought a home of her own. My youngest daughter moved to Columbus. My middle daughter now has an apartment close to where she teaches and my four international students have flown the coop. Since I am considered by many to be a nurturer who delights in feeding anyone with a pulse, people were concerned. At first it was difficult to adjust to finding the remote right where I left it, not having to write “Property of MOM” on everything from facial wash to dark

chocolate almonds and having to find another way to exercise besides climbing “mount laundry.” I tried to focus on the positives of my “new normal.” I swore I would not become a woman who ate Lucky Charms for dinner during a Netflix bingewatching session surrounded by cats. OK, so I did become a binge watcher but I'm sticking with my Golden Retriever and adjusting quite well, at least I was until the back-to-school season rolled in.

Do I miss frantically searching the shelves at Target for the specified items that every

You know who to look for; the perfectly dressed, manicured, organized person that continually shares cute ideas and inspirations she found on Pinterest—and actually has tried a few. She will be your “goto” person for important school dates and information and will provide a crisp, clean copy of a needed permission slip when you find your kid’s crumpled in the bottom of their book bag.

Let Them Do It Themselves

No matter how tempting, let your child complete school projects on their own.

When you see the wooden board with drilled holes filled with synchronized lights depicting the constellation “Andromeda” made by the youth whose father HAPPENS to be an engineer—let it go. The neon yellow, spray-painted orb hanging from a coat hanger with stars made of glitter glue is far more impressive because it was created independently.

Encourage Physical Activity

My parents’ philosophy of “wear ‘em out” is timeless. Encourage your kids to get involved and participate in a sport or recreation club. I realize that the sport’s medical forms from the past were single page documents designed to confirm students were able to fog a mirror. The concussion-conscious, 16-page form of today (where you will need to recall your family’s health history going back three generations), endless carpooling and having to sit countless hours on aluminum seats is worth the effort.

Easy Come Easy Go

Realize that the first month of school will cause your Visa to tremble. There will be times when you feel as if you have to take out a second mortgage or sell off a body part to pay for the required TI84 calculator. The finances will recover–in about a decade or so.

Keep Calm and Parent On

P.J. Rourke once said, “Everyone knows how to raise children, except the people who have them.” Remember to keep your sense of humor. Keep in mind that even the parents who arrive on snack day with a tray of healthy goodies resembling the marine life that is being studied in science class have the same fears and doubts about their parenting capabilities as you who arrived with a box of Pop Tarts. Above all, remember that one day you could find yourself in a big house as an “empty nester.”

Enjoy every messy, complicated and chaotic moment.

Students take next steps

BY MARY HELEN DARAH

Trevion Sanford and Jonathon Goodloe took part in The Ability Center’s Next Steps Summer Program this year. The Ability Center is a nonprofit Center for Independent Living (CIL) serving northwest Ohio that believes in and supports equitable and inclusive communities for people living with disabilities.

The summer experience is a component of The Ability Center’s Life Skills Program that prepares young adults for life after high school. Both students participated in the program that provides students the chance to stay on the campus of the University of Toledo for five weeks, where they learn to tackle everyday tasks such as doing laundry, cooking and cleaning, in a dorm environment. Sanford and Goodloe, along with fellow participants, were then provided employment opportunities at local businesses and organizations. It is through these interactions with business professionals that they build their job skills and confidence.

Sanford, who was placed at Sylvania Area Family Services (SAFS), assisted camp directors with various activities including reading, games and outdoor projects during the summer camp held for children in first through sixth grade. He also assisted the organization of their food pantry by stocking, sorting, organizing, and dating products.

“Trey (Sanford) was a vital part of our team,” stated SAFS Executive Director Dottie Segur.

“We were excited to participate in the

program that we believe gave Trevion the chance to experience an inside look into the running of a social service agency. Working with others, problem solving, time management and taking responsibility for tasks were just a few of the life skills he learned on the job. It is our hope that he gained confidence that will benefit him in the future.”

Jonathon Goodloe also enjoyed participating in the program. The student performed grounds-keeping duties including trimming bushes, raking leaves, weeding garden beds, litter pick-up, and painting and repairing picnic tables at Olander Park. “I had a chance to get a job,” stated Goodloe. “I made some friends and I saw an old friend that also stayed in the dorms at the University of Toledo. I really liked living on my own and getting paid for my work. I also liked eating a lot--especially the pizza.”

Students in the program are typically juniors or seniors in high school or recent graduates who live with any disability.

Students must have goals of attending postsecondary education, obtaining competitive employment, and/or living independently in the community.

In addition to getting a taste of college life and the working world, the program offers for recreation and opportunities socialization. The students participated in numerous activities throughout the summer, including attending a Toledo Mud Hens game. Many students feel they connected with their peers and life-long friendships were made.

Jonathon Goodloe enjoys life on the job as he performs his tasks on the grounds of Olander Park.

Sylvania firefighters train on new EleGARD Patient Positioning System

Pictured are several Sylvania firefighters along with the EleGARD trainer that have employed the use of the EleGARD device under a training mannequin and added the Lucas CPR device for automated CPR on a patient.

BY MARY HELEN DARAH

Sylvania Firefighters are in training for a new medical device that will be in trial use in Sylvania, Springfield and Maumee Fire Departments through Lucas County EMS. Sylvania is the first in Ohio to receive the equipment and only the fifth to have the system in the USA. Every year, over 500,000 people in the US suffer a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), with only a 10.8 percent survival rate when SCA occurs outside of the hospital. Lucas County EMS is adopting the use of the EleGARD

Patient Positioning System that precisely, rapidly, and consistently positions the patient for CPR and airway management. It raises the patient to a multi-level elevation to support the practice of an innovative new technique for resuscitation.

The ElevatedCPR method is a technologically-advanced technique for performing device-assisted head up CPR that incorporates lifting the head, heart, and thorax in a multi-level elevation, in a timed sequence, in conjunction with best practice resuscitation protocols, to potentially improve survival of cardiac arrest.

With a needle and heavy-duty thread, sew a running stitch along the edges of a circle, gathering the fabric as you go. About 2/3rds of the way around the circle, add a handful of dried beans to give the pumpkin some weight.

Next, add batting in small pieces until the pumpkin reaches desired fullness.

Sew up the hole by making crisscross stitches from one side to the other.

Use a hot glue gun to attach stems over the stitches. Press stem down and hold for 30 seconds.

In a skillet, sauté the zucchini and onion until soft. Spread vegetables evenly over the bottom of the crust. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Spread tomatoes over the cheese.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, halfand-half, salt, pepper and seasoning. Pour mixture into crust. Sprinkle with basil.

Bake for 60 minutes or until the center of the pie is set.

Chorizo Stuffed Poblano Peppers

BY JENNIFER RUPLE

If you read this column regularly, you know I’ve written about many small, foodrelated businesses and the people who create them. Hearing their stories about how they got started is inspiring Jennifer Ruple to me and having the ability to share those stories with you is a big reason why I love what I do. I believe in supporting small businesses and shop at the local level as much as I can.

Sylvania is blessed to have a fabulous weekly farmers market that showcases a wonderful variety of locally grown produce, made-from-scratch baked goods, and handmade food products. It is the perfect outlet to meet farmers, makers and creators; sample delicious products; meet friends for dinner; and pick up some groceries.

The abundance of beautiful vegetables on display at farmers’ stands last week provided me with the inspiration to work on a couple

Tomato, Zucchini and Basil Pie of new recipes, handpicked for the season.

What inspires you?

Tomato, Zucchini and Basil Pie

Louis Keil and Sons’ zucchini and tomatoes sparked the idea for this savory pie - perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or anytime in between. The seasonings and cheeses give the pie Italian flair, and the fresh basil provides just a hint of sweetness. Serve it alongside an assortment of olives and a loaf of crusty bread.

Fall is looming, but you can turn the heat back up by making these zesty stuffed peppers. I picked up these smaller-sized poblano peppers from Stevens Gardens’ booth. The magic in this dish presents itself in three layers of spicy flavor – the poblanos, the chorizo sausage, and the taco sauce.

1 teaspoon olive oil 3 /4-pound bulk chorizo 1 /2 cup cooked rice 1 /4 cup diced onion 1 /4 cup homemade taco sauce 1 /4 cup shredded cheddar cheese 2 large or 4 small poblano peppers, halved

1 refrigerated pie crust 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds 1 /2 cup Vidalia onion, diced 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded 1 /4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 2 medium tomatoes, sliced 4 eggs 2 cups half-and-half 1 /2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 /4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 /2 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1 /4 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced

lengthwise and seeded 2 tablespoons taco sauce 1 /4 cup water Heat oven to 350 F. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo until completely browned and broken into small pieces, 7 to 10 minutes.

Remove skillet from heat. Stir in rice, onion, 1/4 cup taco sauce, and cheddar.

Fill poblano halves with the chorizo mixture. Place in a small casserole dish or pie pan. Drizzle 1 tablespoon taco sauce over each pepper.

Pour water into bottom of the dish; cover loosely with foil.

Bake until peppers are tender, about 1 hour.

Taco Sauce 15-ounce can tomato sauce 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder 1 /2 teaspoon cumin 1 /2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 /2 teaspoon onion powder 1 /2 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon honey 1 /3 cup water In a small saucepan, add all ingredients.

Cook over medium-low heat for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to come together.

Benfield Wines moves to historic building in Swanton

Rob Benfield assists Pat and Jeff Pilliod with their wine purchase on Aug. 23, grand opening day.

Sylvania Farmers Market vendors Rob and Julia Benfield have moved their business, Benfield Wines, to downtown Swanton, 102 N. Main St. The new, larger winery opened to the public on Friday, Aug. 23.

After spending two years at their previous winery at the corner of 295 and Shaffer Road, the Benfields needed more space to expand their business. Located in the former Pilliod Opera House, built in the late 1800s, the new tasting room features high ceilings, exposed brick walls and plenty of space for guests to enjoy wines made on-site. The building also has room to accommodate small parties and events and art classes. “We are proud to be part of the Swanton community and look forward to expanding our operations on Main Street,” said Julia Benfield.

The Benfields currently produce eight wines - three dry including Cabernet, Shiraz and Pinot Grigo, and five sweet including Merry Cranberry, Apple Alyxandria, Blissfield Blackberry, Rural Raspberry and P’ville Peach. Wines are available for tasting

or by the glass. Also on the menu are Lushie Slushies, frozen wine drinks with flavors that rotate each month.

The Benfields began making wine 16 years ago. After much encouragement from family and friends, the couple decided to turn their pastime into a family business and began selling their wines online. Three years later, they moved from Pettisville, Ohio to Swanton to be closer to their customers and to look for a spot to open a business.

In addition to Benfield Wines, downtown Swanton has a few other new businesses including The Posh Pallet Boutique and Switchback Crossing Café. A partnership between Switchback and Benfield Wines allows Benfield patrons to order food from the restaurant and it will be delivered to the tasting room. Benfield said, “We are excited about the relocation of our small, veteranowned family business and are honored to be part of the amazing things happening in downtown Swanton.” - by Jennifer Ruple

J.A.Y.’S Gallery opens at Angela’s Angels in downtown Sylvania

The exhibit of paintings is on display at Angela’s Angels.

Artist Jennifer Sheriff has found a rewarding and comforting avenue to deal with her own sense of loss while offering comfort to others during their individual journeys of grief.

After experiencing three consecutive miscarriages, Sheriff began to create angel scenes customized to deliver comfort to those who are grieving. Several of those paintings are currently on display at Angela’s Angels, 5774 Main St., and Sheriff plans to expand her line of original angel artwork in the coming months.

Sheriff ’s acrylic on canvas art is sold under the label J.A.Y.'S. Gallery to reflect her name, Jennifer Anne Yarnell Sheriff.

“I am convinced that we must never be afraid to explore the spiraling depth of our losses; in fact, I do so every time I move paint over a canvas. Though we may find

ourselves at times drifting aimlessly across uncharted waters as we persevere in our confrontation of grief, we will certainly experience the rewarding voyage that our Creator always intended for us,” Sheriff said.

One of her latest creations, “Angels In Our Midst,” was recently accepted into a juried art gallery exhibition in Brooklyn, N.Y. Sheriff ’s entire current inventory, comprised of more than eighty individual works of art, can also be viewed at Up Front Art Space, an art gallery located in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, for the duration of her upcoming solo show, which opened Aug. 31.

“As a visual artist, I continuously search for new and colorful ways to share stories.

Each angel scene I paint is created to deliver comfort at precisely the time it is most needed,” Sheriff offered.

Lost

by Mon Taroy, Sylvania Senior Center (In commemoration of 9/11)

Amidst the rubble I search for you Desperately turning stone upon stone Hoping against hope to find you - or a piece of you I know that you are there.

Tears flow as I scratch the dirt - the building has transformed into.

Bleeding hearts and hands do not matter, Cursing, muttering unspeakable words of despair - panic, hopelessness, blame - of prayer I know that you are there.

I am not alone.

People of all races converge to look for you.

Crawling together, heaving boulders one after another Numbing the pain the glue that bind us all.

I know that you are there.

We may not find you - just maybe.

You have become the earth that covered you.

I am lost, and so are others.

Yet somehow I know, we know that you are there You have become us, and we you.

Jackie Tussing, Executive Director, Sylvania Community Arts Commission Jackie became the executive director

BY LINDA SZYSKOWSKI of SCAC in January 2019, and brings with her a broad background of forCREATIVE OXYGEN mal education and work experience — and a love of the arts.

Born and raised in Deshler, Ohio, Jackie graduated from Denison University with a major in psychology and a minor in studio art. She earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Toledo. Throughout law school she missed art and decided to pursue a career that would bring her closer to it. “After discovering the Toledo Museum of Art, I knew working there would be my dream job; so in 2011, I decided to volunteer,” remembered Jackie. “That led to a paid position as a Development Officer at a time when the museum was focused on innovation and community engagement. Museum bosses, Brian Kennedy and Susan Palmer, were amazing people to learn from. I was able to gain experience in fundraising, donor engagement, innovation and events while being surrounded by world-class art.”

While at the museum, Jackie realized that she really enjoyed community engagement. When an opening became available at United Way with this focus, she became their Affinity Group Manager. This allowed her to apply her knowledge in a new setting while expanding her understanding of basic community needs, such as food insecurity and shelter.

After losing her mother, grandmother, and then her father, Jackie decided to take some time to focus on her family, especially her new son William. During this time she volunteered for a couple organizations to stay involved with the community. “My husband, Bryan, was very supportive and took time off to be with our son so I could continue to do the kind of work I loved,” said Jackie.

It was at a community event that Jennifer Archer, former director at SCAC, approached Jackie about the director opportunity with SCAC. Though she wasn’t looking for a position, Jackie was so intrigued by their artistic offerings to the community that she decided to apply.

“I feel lucky to be a part of SCAC and the Sylvania community,” Jackie said. “I am impressed by how welcoming and willing to help our community partners are including the Library, Heritage Sylvania, SCAT, TOPS, Lourdes and Sylvania Schools. We could not provide our programs without them. The City and Township’s support of new ideas and initiatives in Sylvania is creating a lot of energy. I am excited to help grow the arts here.” She added, “The SCAC board, volunteers, and artistic leaders create outstanding programs and events. Our biggest objective right now is to make more people aware of them, so SCAC is planning a new marketing initiative and rebranding to build awareness and engagement.”

SCAC has everything from youth theatre programs to the big Maple & Main Art and Music Festival that draws over 6,000 people to downtown Sylvania each spring. Following SCAC on Facebook is one of the best ways to learn about all that they have going on.

Sylvania Advantage, in cooperation with Creative Oxygen salutes this valuable leader of our arts community. We are very fortunate to have her!

Ground broken for OCC’s new Advanced Manufacturing Training Center

Lt. Governor John Husted’s liaison LuAnne Cooke, State Representatives Michael Sheehy, Derek Merrin and Haraz Ghanbari, State Senator Theresa Gavarone, Chancellor Randy Gardner, Owens Board of Trustees, Chair and Owens Foundation, Vice Chair Dee Talmage, Owens Community College President Dr. Steve Robinson, Dana President and CEO James Kamsickas, Dana, VP and General Manager of Off Highways Industrial Segment and Owens Trustee Jason Johnson, Dana, Sr. VP, Human Resources Shelley Bridarolli, Dana, Sr. VP, General Counsel and Secretary Doug Liedberg and SSOE President Bob Howell participated in the groundbreaking ceremony.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held Aug. 28 to celebrate the construction project to renovate a 59,000-square-foot existing facility. for the $9.6 million Dana Advanced Manufacturing Training Center. Construction is anticipated to be completed by Fall Semester 2020.

The modern 59,000 square foot training center will host relevant programming and training for students and community partners in advanced manufacturing, skilled trades and related fields. The center’s focus is to meet community labor needs and strengthen the economy by preparing students for rewarding careers available in northwest Ohio.

The Center’s goals are to attract individuals

to enter the industry sector of advanced manufacturing, skilled trades or related fields and foster increased partnership opportunities with the region’s workforce training needs; fill the workforce jobs gap by producing an increased number of job-ready workers for employers in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan; and provide advanced training for current employers and provide the skilled labor workforce needed to attract new business and industry to the region.

Located at the main entrance to the Toledoarea campus adjacent to the Welding Design Center, the new facility is accessible from I-75 and the I-80/I-90 Ohio Turnpike.

Owens Community College announced recently that it has received a $1 million investment from Dana Incorporated for the new Dana Advanced Manufacturing Training Center.

Focused on increasing training and development of skilled workers in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan, the project will renovate a 59,000 square-foot existing facility, which will feature six skilled technology labs, including computer-aided design (CAD); computer numerical control (CNC) and manual machining; electrical; heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and alternative energy; mechanical and pneumatics; and robotics and programmable logic controller (PLC).

“The skills gap is one of the single biggest constraints on growth in our industry and the economy as a whole. According to estimates from the Manufacturing Institute, there will be more than 4.6 million manufacturing jobs in the U.S. to fill by 2028. At current rates, we will only have 2.2 million skilled workers for these positions. That is a gap of over 2.4 million jobs,” said James Kamsickas, president and chief executive officer of Dana. “Dana’s investment with Owens Community College will help to bridge that gap by offering critical training in advanced manufacturing and skilled trades to support the manufacturing base of northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.”

The state of Ohio has approved $4 million in capital funding and Owens will invest up to $3.6 million of its local dollars to support the project. The capital campaign will focus on securing the remaining $2 million funding gap to complete the project.

“The new Advanced Manufacturing

Training Center will house all of our advanced manufacturing and skilled trade programs in one building, offering our students a more conducive environment for learning current and advanced technologies that are critical for the workforce in our region,” said Steve Robinson, Ph.D., president, Owens Community College. “The generous support from a major corporation like Dana demonstrates the trust and confidence we have been able to cultivate through our many years as northwest Ohio’s leader in workforce training.”

The Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce will host a political forum for all city of Sylvania and Sylvania Township candidates on Wednesday, Oct. 23 from 7 to 8 pm at the Sylvania Senior Center, 7140 Sylvania Ave. Candidates are asked to register on the Sylvania Chamber’s website at sylvaniachamber.org and provide a brief bio.

During the forum, candidates will be given the opportunity to speak about themselves and their platform. The event will be moderated by Sylvania Area

Chamber of Commerce Board Member, Jeff Boersma.

The races being covered include Sylvania City Council, Sylvania Township Trustee, Sylvania School Board, Sylvania Township Fiscal Officer and the Lucas County Senior Services Levy. Other Sylvania races on the ballet will be introduced, but not featured as those races are uncontested.

For more information, contact the Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce at 419-882-2135 or visit the website sylvaniachamber.org.

OCC customizes training

According to LinkedIn’s 2018 Workforce Learning Report, 93 percent of employees would stay at a company longer if it invested in their careers. For 19 First Solar employees, this statistic became more of a reality when they earned a state certificate at a special ceremony at Owens Community College after completing customized training made possible through a partnership with Owens Community College and First Solar.

The First Solar employees earned the 34credit hour Industrial Maintenance Certificate in accelerated time, covering the 13 classes from January to July. A typical student may spend up to 18 months earning this certificate.

Owens customized the educational makeup and delivery of the certificate so First Solar employees attended classes Mondays and Wednesdays in two 12-hour shifts, 6 a.m. – 6 p.m. or 6 p.m. – 6 a.m.

First Solar began partnership talks with Owens officials in the spring of 2018, immediately after announcing its building expansion in Lake Township and the need for additional employees.

TimberstoneVet celebrates grand opening with ribbon cutting The Sylvania Town Crier Mike Lieber, Sylvania Township Trustee Neal Mahoney and members of the Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce joined veterinarians Drs. Jennifer Tate and Nicole Belcher and their practice manager Stefanie Herzig to cut the ribbon to officially open TimberstoneVet on Saturday, Aug. 24. The new practice is located in a newly constructed 5,600-squarefoot veterinary clinic at 7851 West Sylvania Ave. Bridgestone Construction Co. served as the general contractor for the construction project.

John Healey, from Miller-Danberry worked on the transaction from Silica Properties, owned by the Stansley family, for the three partners. Although the property is located in Sylvania Township, the buyers needed to work out an agreement with the city of Sylvania to furnish sanitary sewer from the other side of Sylvania. “Everyone worked together to make it happen,” Healey offered.

“This is ideal for our practice,” noted Tate.

“We all love the location. There is a lot of population growth here and this is where we wanted to be,” she said.

The new facility was designed for pets comfort. Four easily accessible exam rooms are directly off of the large, comfortable waiting area in front of the large treatment area. In addition, a boarding area for cats and kittens offers roomy cages with feline comfort in mind. An 18-dog boarding area is also available.

The three partners met and practiced at another veterinary clinic. “Working together, we engaged over our shared passions and beliefs and our collaborative quest for the best practices of veterinary

The partners and our entire staff, all share these same passions and beliefs,” she pointed out.

“Nicole and I are all small animal veterinarians and collectively we have almost 30 years in the practice of veterinary

medicine. Our practice manager, Stefanie, has been in the veterinary field for over 13 years and involved in rescue for the last 15 years. We are especially proud of the entire team we have assembled – our staff members have extensive experience and have been in the veterinary medical field for years,” Tate said.

TimberstoneVet offers services that include, but are not limited tostem cell therapies, dental care, ultrasound, endoscopy and general medical and surgical

services. The veterinarians provide state-ofthe-art in-house diagnostics making use of their in-house ultrasound technology and lab, which provides accurate and timely results.

Pets requiring overnight hospitalization receive the best care possible by staff members.

TimberstoneVet offers 24/7/365-roundthe-clock care for patients, which means someone is always there to monitor and care for pets – in boarding or while overnight in the hospital.

Attention ALL CRAFTERS AND VENDORS

Auxiliary FALL CRAFT SHOW SATURDAY, SEPT. 21 • 10 AM - 6 PM Joseph Diehn American Legion Post 5580 Centennial Rd, Sylvania, OH 43560 For a booth reservation form and more info contact Terry at 419-265-6099 or Connie at 517-605-2775 Proceeds will go to our Buckeye Girls State Fund to help pay for Delegate fees

Recently, Amy Gueli joined Cheryl Fuleky of Gramz Flowers & Gifts bringing her line of CBD products to Gramz Flowers and Gifts, the longtime business Fuleky has owned at 4057 Holland-Sylvania Rd. “Cheryl has all of the antiques, primitive furniture, vintage household goods and gift items. She also creates all of the wonderful repurposed items we have here,” Gueli pointed out.

Gueli’s primary job is selling lines of beauty products to salon owners. When several of her clients asked her about getting CBD oil for them, Gueli researched several suppliers, as she does with each of the products she represents.

After exploring the industry Gueli selected an Ohio company, Clean Remedies, which offers hemp extract oil in three strengths along with other products including Paws wellness tincture for pets.

She also found Joy Organics of Colorado to be a company she would like to represent.

She offers a variety of products from tinctures to salves and roll-on dispensers.

“Both companies have demonstrated their integrity in an unregulated industry. Their products are certified to be what they say they are,” Gueli noted.

In addition to researching the companies and their respective products, Gueli has tried the products and has found pain relief from a lingering hip injury. “I really like what CBD oil has done for me not only in reducing the pain I have experienced for several years, but I am also sleeping better,” she said. “These products have worked well for me and the results were so dramatic that I wanted to make the products available to others, as well” While Gueli continues to work with all of her salon clients, she also has been involved in retail endeavors. So it was not a big leap for her to consider looking for a shop to offer her line of CBD products. “I happened to be talking with Eddie Tucker of Lawn Creations and mentioned that I was looking for a shop.

Eddie had purchased the Gramz home last year to use the grounds to market his business and rented the interior to Cheryl to re-open her flower shop on a limited basis.

He suggested that I might work well with Cheryl, and that has been the case,” she said.

Since joining Fuleky, the shop is now open Tuesday through Friday from noon to 6 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm. “With both of us we are able to be open more hours and do more things,” she pointed out.

The Zepf Center is one of 10 community organizations that have been awarded funding to prevent problem gambling and expand the problem gambling prevention infrastructure in Ohio. The Center’s Problem Gambling Program has been awarded a $20,000 grant from The Prevention Action Alliance and Ohio Mental Health and Addiction Services.

As Ohio’s gambling landscape changes, the Education and Skill Building to Prevent Problem Gambling: A Community Coalitions Project is providing a crucial investment of $250,000 to community organizations working to prevent problem gambling. The grants are being managed by Prevention Action Alliance.

The funding allows the Zepf Center problem gambling prevention and treatment program to expand its efforts in reaching out

to the community. Goals include identifying, educating and engaging college students, seniors and other at-risk populations in five additional NW Ohio counties. Zepf Center has earned a well-deserved reputation throughout Ohio as having one of the largest and most successful problem gambling prevention and treatment programs in the State.

Zepf will join with other prevention collations to increase public awareness of problem gambling issues. The organization will also work to expand local agency partnerships where needed to provide problem gambling Tele-Therapy services in rural areas. Zepf Center’s aim is to make problem gambling treatment easy, accessible and closer to home for more northwest Ohioans.

The Alzheimer’s Association Northwest Ohio Chapter will hold an educational program on healthy aging for all community members along with those impacted by the disease. The hour-long event will be held at Divine Rehab and Nursing Sylvania Center, 5757 Whiteford Rd., at 6 pm on Wednesday, Sept. 11.

At any age, there are lifestyle habits people can adopt to help maintain or even potentially improve their health. These habits may also help to keep their brains healthy as they age and possibly delay the onset of cognitive decline.

To help people age well, the Alzheimer’s Association® is offering the “Healthy Living for Your Brain and Body: Tips from the Latest Research program.” This workshop covers four areas of lifestyle habits that are associated with healthy aging: cognitive activity; physical health and exercise; diet and nutrition; and social engagement.

There will be discussion about each area

drawing on current research, as well as steps to take now to improve or maintain overall health in each area.

“Healthy Living for Your Brain and Body: Tips from the Latest Research” is designed for individuals of any age who are looking for information on ways to age as well as possible. “We all want to age well” said Pam Myers, Program Director of the Chapter.

“We have learned a lot on how to care for our hearts - it only makes sense now to also learn how to take care of our brain”.

In the United States alone, more than 5 million individuals are living with Alzheimer’s and 16 million are serving as their unpaid caregivers. The disease is a global crisis that impacts numerous families in this community. However, no one has to face this disease alone or without information.

Holy Cow! Local businessman enters new field

Greg Kott’s herd of Texas Longhorn cattle has grown to 123.

BY MARY HELEN DARAH

A shared photo at a wedding reception in 2013 proved life-changing for local businessman Greg Kott. The owner of Clean Wood Recycling and Future Lawn viewed a photo on the phone of the cousin of his friend, Mike “Captain” King, who was in southern Ohio working at the largest Texas Longhorn ranch in Ohio. The breed consists of 1,300 pounds of solid cow with an average horn span of over 80 inches. “I saw the photo of that amazing animal, Drag Iron, a World Champion Longhorn Bull and immediately asked Captain if they were friendly, to which he replied, ‘they can be.’ I knew right then and there I had to own one. I wanted to sit on my back porch and watch them out in the field.

The only problem was that I did not own a field let alone a farm,” Kott recalled.

On Aug. 30, of that same year, that changed.

Kott bought a 50-acre farm in Swanton, Ohio at auction and began building fences and pastures. The foundation of the Laid Back Ranch, LLC was born. “I had my first two pastures completed and on Thanksgiving day three Texas Longhorn cattle were delivered,” said Kott. “Oh, and they were all pregnant and I knew absolutely nothing about raising cattle.

I got online and started reading. Captain helped me and did some advising, and if I had questions I would ask my neighbors. Farmers are the best. They want to help. I have always believed that to succeed, you hire people better and smarter than you and everything falls into place.”

Things did fall into place, but not initially.

One of the cows got sick and died with her calf in the winter. The following spring, the remaining two cows gave birth to healthy calves. “After that, I decided to go all in,” stated Kott. “I bought a bull and 11 more heifers. The

Greg Kott enjoys spending time in his ‘field.’ following year, I decided to start raising a cross between an Angus and a Texas Longhorn.

Longhorns have the leanest meat and Angus have the fattiest, so crossing them together makes a superior meat. I sell high quality, grass-fed beef and am currently in the process of becoming organic certified. To order, go to laidbackranch.com to check availability.”

Kott enjoys his new “field” although there have been challenges. “The biggest challenge is lack of knowledge. For example, the water source for my animals froze the first winter on the farm. After doing some research, I now have a heated water system. Another challenge is lack of time. The Laid Back Ranch has been built, every fence and pasture, from the ground up.”

The Laid Back Ranch and Kott’s registered Texas Longhorn are thriving...in fact a bit too much. “I now have 123 head of cattle on 50 acres. Normally, you strive for one cow per

acre. I am currently in the process of downsizing,” he said. “I recently sold Overly Super, my first calf born at the ranch. It excites me when I see others get excited about the breed. I got hooked once I realized that my 2,140-pound bull is as gentle as a puppy. Plus, there’s nothing more exciting than seeing a calf born.”

Kott plans on working hard, with a bit of “laid back” time on the ranch for years to come.

“Some people have whiskey, wine or cigarettes.

I have cow therapy,” stated Kott. “It’s hard to describe the feeling of a large animal eating out of your hand.” Kott is thankful for being shown a photo of the Longhorn bull at the wedding back in 2013 that led him to venture into new pastures. “When I saw that photo, I imagined what it would be like to look out and see those majestic animals and today it’s my reality. It’s the most relaxing atmosphere I could have put myself in.”

Guests preview the Mother Adelaide sculpture before final casting

The plaster sculpture of Mother Adelaide is previewed by sculpture student Sister Magdala Davlin and Lourdes sculpture instructor Patrick DuBreuil on Tuesday, Aug. 27.

Can we mention somehow about it that this was a wonderful example of how faculty and students working together in a professional manner provides a greater level of learning and research for both the student and the faculty member. Great pedagogy!!

Mother Adelaide will soon be on the grounds of the Sylvania Franciscan Village that she established 103 years ago, thanks to the efforts of sculpture student Sister Magdala Davlin and her Lourdes sculpture instructor Patrick DuBreuil.

The life-size plaster image of Mother Adelaide was featured at a preview party at the Canticle Center on Tuesday, Aug. 27.

Sylvania Franciscans, Lourdes faculty, staff, students and guests were invited to see the work before it is sent to Flatlanders Sculpture Supply and Art Galleries in Blissfield, Mich., to be cast in bronze. It is anticipated that the finished work will be completed by next spring.

“This has been my dream,” noted Sister Magdala.

It was in 2014 or 2015 during the planning of the centennial celebration for the Sisters of St. Francis arrival in Sylvania, that the subject of commissioning a statue of Mother Adelaide, the community’s founder, was discussed. “While everyone agreed this was a wonderful and appropriate idea, the cost was far to great,” remembers Sister Magdala. “The thought, ‘Well, maybe I’ll do that,’ passed through my head but was quickly dismissed.

However, having a sculpture of Mother Adelaide became my dream.”

When Sister Magdala retired from nursing and relocated to Sylvania a couple of years ago, she enrolled in Lourdes University and in DuBreuil’s sculpture class. “The first day of class, I asked Patrick if I could make a life size sculpture of Mother Adelaide? His reply was, ‘anything is possible.’ At the second class, he asked me what is holding me up?

“We have been working on the project ever since,” said Sister Magdala.

DuBreuil added, “And, I never thought I would be spending so much time with a 72-year-old nun and enjoying it. I like to think of us as The Odd Couple,” he laughed.

“While we did spend many hours working on the project, we also had help from so many others from Lourdes faculty, staff and maintenance workers. This really did take a village to complete,” Sister Magdala stated.

Not only did the life-size sculpture emerge over the past 18 months, but this unlikely twosome formed a close relationship, as well.

“The pony-tailed, tattooed Patrick and the prim and proper Sister Magdala are such a visual contradiction that their close friendship has been a joy to see develop,” offered Lourdes Art Department Chairperson Erin Palmer Szavuly.

“This is a wonderful example of how faculty and students working together in a professional manner provides a greater level of learning and research for both the student and the faculty member. Great pedagogy!! ” Szavuly concluded.

In the U.S. high school graduating class of 2018, only 3,741 out of more than 1.9 million graduates who took the ACT earned a top composite score of 36.

In a letter to Laux recognizing this exceptional achievement, ACT CEO Marten Roorda stated, “Your achievement on the ACT is significant and rare. Your exceptional scores will provide any college or university with ample evidence of your readiness for the academic rigors that lie ahead.”

The ACT is a curriculum-based achievement exam that measures what students have learned in school. Students who earn a 36 composite score have likely mastered all of the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed in first-year college courses in the core subject areas.

At Sylvania Southview, Knickolas participates in speech and debate, mock trial, student government and cross country.

An avid writer, he contributes to Southview’s literary magazine, “The Last Word,” and earned 10th place at Ohio’s 2017 Power of the Pen State Tournament. Laux also plays piano and cello. He is a member of the Toledo Symphony Youth Orchestra and has earned superior ratings at Ohio Music Education Association Solo & Ensemble competitions the past four years.

Wahlberg speaks about addiction at NDA

Mark Wahlberg Foundation Executive Director and A&E star, Jim Wahlberg, spoke to Notre Dame Academy students about addiction. Speaking to over 600 hundred students, Wahlberg shared his story of addiction and the signs that parents and peers often miss.

His film titled, “If Only” was shown.

He has produced six films about the devastating consequences of addiction and hopes parents, teachers, guidance counselors and clergy will use these films to teach kids about the dangers of opioid addiction. Lavin Schwan, of Bellevue, Ohio, also spoke and shared the story of her son who was lost to addiction. Her story chronicled her son’s experimentation with opiates that lead to his untimely death from heroin.

Both speakers expressed that their commitment, belief, and faith in God got them through their journey and continues to inspire them to share their message and stories.

Lourdes women ready for 2019 soccer season As the 2019 women’s soccer season kicks off, Lourdes University looks to climb the ladder in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference and return to the league tournament after a year’s hiatus.

Head coach Jackie Phillips returns for the program’s fifth season with 16 players from the 2018 squad, which finished the year 4-11-2 overall. The Gray Wolves went 1-9-1 in WHAC play, tying for 11th place in the conference standings. Phillips has also brought in 13 newcomers for the upcoming season, including 12 freshmen according to Lourdes Sports Information Director Ryan Wronkowicz.

Kerstyn Williams returns in goal for the Gray Wolves. A member of the 2017 WHAC All-Newcomer Team, Williams has posted a 1.64 career goals against average and a .814 save percentage over her first two seasons at Lourdes. She also has a pair of shutouts to her credit.

The Lourdes defense is led by a solid corps of returnees. Lauren Poslaiko begins her senior season ranked seventh in program history for matches played. A pair of sophomores, Jules Snowden and Olivia Pomponio, were regulars in the lineup for the Gray Wolves during their rookie season, and look to build upon the experience they gained as freshmen to help lead the backs. Kenzie Cowell also looks to return this season for the Gray Wolves after an injury sidelined her for all of 2018.

Skyler Crane and Elaina Hillman lead a host of freshmen that will be battling for playing time on defense. Emily Johnson, Jayla Musselman, and Erika Turk will also look to earn playing time during their rookie season.

The Gray Wolves depth in the midfield should be one of the strengths heading into the season. Erin Caldwell was selected to the WHAC All-Newcomer Team last season as a freshman after finishing the year second on the squad with three goals and seven points. Maria

Schmidt also found the back of the net twice for Lourdes as a sophomore. Hannah Martin and Maddy Fleming both scored their first collegiate goals in 2018 while Abby Miller is back after sitting out last season as a redshirt.

A pair of freshmen will also look to make an impact in the midfield during the upcoming season. Annah Zacerkowny arrives from across the border in Ontario while Morgan Henkle is a local product from Northwest Ohio.

Lourdes has a great deal of scoring threats at forward as the season begins, led by Karlie O’Keefe. The senior enters the season with 12 career goals, one shy of the school’s all-time mark, after finding the back of the net a teamleading six times last season. She also ranks third in program history with 25 career points. Jenna Penz enters her junior year with three goals over her first two seasons while Katie Varney arrives from Davenport University, where she scored four times in two years for the Panthers.

A trio of sophomores complete the returnees at forward for the Gray Wolves. Maddy Hodgson tallied a goal as a freshman while Cassie Stitt shared the team lead with two assists despite missing half of the season due to injury. Sam Skujins saw action off the bench in her first year at Lourdes and will look to make more of an impact this year.

A large contingent of freshmen will also look to make their mark up top this season. Chloe Shaffer and Abigail Mann spearhead the group that also includes Katelyn Kane, Katie Koch, and Amanda Lopez.

With a great deal of depth in multiple positions, Lourdes is poised to make a run back to the WHAC tournament. The chemistry is creating a competitive environment for the team, with multiple players looking to step up and grasp multiple roles to make it an exciting year for the Gray Wolves.

Toledo Zoo Honor Day for first responders and grandparents Sunday, Sept. 8 is an extra special day at the Toledo Zoo. The Zoo will honor two very important groups of people, first responders and grandparents.

It has often been said that America is the land of the free because of the brave and the Toledo Zoo agrees. On this special day the Zoo will honor all of the first responders that help keep the community safe with a “Day of Honor” event sponsored by Medical Mutual and supported by Marathon Petroleum Company.

All military members, police, firefighters and EMTs will receive free admission to the

Zoo by showing their professional ID or badge. Zoo visitors can also show their gratitude for the bravery of first responders by signing the giant thank you cards in the Main Plaza. These cards will be presented to local safety organizations at 1:30 pm in a short ceremony.

Whether they are called mimi and papa or grammy and grampy, grandparents hold a special place in people’s hearts. Sunday, Sept.

8, the Zoo will also honor grandparents. All grandparents receive free admission when accompanied by at least one grandchild.

What’s it like to crawl down the side of a building like Spiderman? On Friday, Sept. 6, 85 supporters of The Victory Center, in partnership with Over the Edge Global, will find out as they participate in Over the Edge for Victory and rappel 16 stories down the Toledo Edison Building in downtown Toledo.

Rappellers are raising funds and awareness for The Victory Center, a non-profit cancer wellness center located in Toledo, with a satellite office in Perrysburg. This year’s Sky Presenting Sponsor is ProMedica.

Since 2008, Over the Edge Global has helped nonprofits raise more than $50 million and put 30,000 fundraisers safely “over the edge.” During this unique event, organizations are able to give their supporters a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rappel as friends and family cheer them on.

Individuals must raise a minimum of $1,000 for their cause in order to secure a

rappelling position. To register, donate to a rappeller, or learn more, visit ote4victory.org.

The brave group of people, including several of The Victory Center’s participant survivors, therapists, and board members will rappel beginning at 9 am and continuing throughout the day. Last year’s event raised more than $150,000 to support all of the free programs and services provided by The Victory Center.

Local nonprofit goes over the edge

JANIS WE B E R

THE MOUSE TRAP Printer Is Not Working Recently

All of us with Windows 10 just got a major update this spring/summer. Some printers were left high Janis Weber and dry. If you have had your printer from more than three years you may be having issues.

What I suggest is removing all evidence of your printer on your computer from the Control Panel. Reboot the computer and reinstall the printer from scratch. First download the most current drivers from the manufacturers website and follow the prompts to install the printers and all its accessories.

For instance, turn on a browser and in the address line type in the manufacturers name, like HP, followed by all the words written on the outside of your printer. This is usually in the front for your convenience. Add the word “drivers” to the search and you should come up with an image of your printer and a confirmation that you have landed on the right page.

You will see a list of drivers. Pick the largest and most current one. It could even have the formal name of it including the letters .exe on the end. EXE means it is an executable file and contains a program. Be sure you have the right one. Click on the word download; wait for it to complete then follow the prompts to install the drivers for

your printer.

You can also go to the Device Manager, click on the printers listed. Right click and choose to update current drivers. This should accomplish the same thing as upgrading from its website. If one way does not work, try the removal process. It is longer but more reliable.

The Windows update adjusted some other programs in your computer. They say it is for the best but sometimes it was just annoying.

You don’t have much of a choice.

Transfer Files To A New Computer

Depending on how much you have to move, either plug a USB flash drive or an external hard drive into your old computer.

Move all your files to the external device.

Take the external device out of the USB port on your old computer. Now plug it into your new computer and move the files from the external devices to your new computer.

That's it.

Another option is to move everything from your old computer to the cloud through such programs as Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox. There is one caveat to this method, however.

You can use these services for free, but they have limited space. After you fill up the space that's offered for free, you have to buy more space. Face it, if you want to transfer files from your old computer, you're going to have to put in some money for either an external hard drive, a cloud storage product or a transfer cable. Once you have put your files in a cloud or external drive, you will have that all important back up done.

Honoring Ohio's Military Families

A guest column by State Senator Theresa Gavarone

Every day, the men and women of our military make significant sacrifices to secure our freedoms. Their bravery makes it possible for those of us at home to live, work, and raise a family peacefully. However, their commitment would not be possible without the love and support of their families. In 2009, the Ohio General Assembly took steps to recognize the important and unique role they play by designating August as "Ohio Military Family Month."

Missed dinners, birthdays, anniversaries and even births of new members of the family are a regular occurrence. However, commitment and strength in the face of adversity is the fuel that gives our soldiers, sailors, and airmen the ability to fight our country's battles. We see this every day from the families who frequently sacrifice treasured time with their own loved ones so that we may be with ours—and for that, the citizens of Ohio are eternally grateful.

Often times, military spouses do not only give up time with their loved ones, but also forgo career opportunities to move to the various places their loved one may be stationed. This often means picking up their entire life and moving as often as every two or three years.

In an effort to help military families who are

stationed in Ohio, my colleagues in the Senate and I recently passed Senate Bill 7, which would allow active duty military spouses to obtain a temporary occupational license so that they can continue to work in their profession when they come to Ohio. This bill was identified as one of the Department of Defense and Ohio Senate's top priorities. I was proud to co-sponsor this important piece of legislation to better support our military families by making it just a little bit easier during an often difficult time of transition.

It is also vitally important that while we honor those who have perished to keep us safe, we too recognize and praise their families. Just last year I had the privilege of supporting legislation both in the House and Senate that recognized two fallen heroes: Marine Sgt. David R. Christoff and Lt. Col. Thomas P. Belkofer. I joined their families in two different locations in Wood County to unveil signs forever memorializing their service to our country. The time I was able to spend with those families contains memories I will never forget.

The foundation of the military family is crucial to the defense of our nation, and I hope you will all join me during Ohio Military Family Month to recognize them for their selflessness and commitment to our great nation. So, to all the men, women, and children who serve in this very unique role—thank you, and may God keep your loved one safe.

Sylvania Bridge Report

National news reports regularly bring the deteriorating condition of bridges into the public eye. Although Sylvania has nothing to compare with the span or traffic Craig Stough load of many of the deteriorating bridges nationally, I thought you might be interested in the condition of our local Sylvania bridges.

The city of Sylvania maintains fourteen bridges – 12 vehicular, one pedestrian and the bridge deck only of the Monroe Street bridge over US 23. The Monroe Street bridge is owned by ODOT, and Sylvania is responsible for maintaining only the surface of the deck.

All 14 of these bridges are inspected annually by ODOT through a third party contract with a local engineering consultant.

These inspections are performed at no cost to the city.

The bridges are rated on an ODOT scale of

MIKE JONES

TOWNSHIP TOPICS 911 Consolidation

The agenda for the Sylvania Township trustees meeting listed one item as the “Final Briefing” on Lucas County's proposal to consolidate different 911 operations into one agency. It may have been the final, but it wasn’t brief.

At the outset, Chairman John Crandall postponed hearing some routine agenda matters and canceled a planned executive session when it was clear several people wanted to speak either for or against the plan to merge the county’s six primary dispatch centers into one independent agency.

Matt Heyrman, director of public safety for Lucas County, highlighted points made in a 44-page plan which he said will lead to a more efficient means of call-taking and dispatching than the current system.

Heyrman stressed that the proposed agency will not be part of an existing government, but will be an independent agency and individual jurisdictions will have joint control.

By consolidating operations, he said, there is a projected cost savings of about $5.2 million county-wide with a savings of almost $740,000 for Sylvania Township. However, Maumee police officer Cory Henson said he questions how the proposal can suggest specific savings asking, “If you don’t know salaries and other costs, how can you know savings?” He added, “I don't see a lot of concern for the human element,” in the plan.

Officials have said that all of those currently employed in 911 operations will be employed under the new system. But Maumee Police Chief David Tullis said his dispatchers are dedicated, hard-working employees and he stated, “We are throwing them into an uncertain environment.” They may have lower pay, different working conditions and changes in medical coverage and retirement plans.

Steve Salander, active in a citizens’ group opposed to consolidation, praised the current practice of dispatching and noted that in a recent bank robbery in Oregon, police were dispatched in only 28 seconds from when notification of the robbery was received.

“0” - failed condition to “9” - as built condition.

Sylvania’s 12 vehicular bridges received one “4,” four “6s,” three “7s,” three “8s” and one “9.”

Sylvania has replaced several bridges in the past years as a result of these annual bridge inspections finding deterioration of the bridge structures. The Erie Street bridge over Schreiber Ditch was replaced in 2012 after the previous inspections found unanticipated structural deterioration, and the bridge is now rated “8.” Prior to that, the Main Street bridge over Ten Mile Creek was replaced in 2007 and is now rated “9.”

The next bridge needing reconstruction is the Silica Drive bridge over Ten Mile Creek near Northview High School. The bridge was built in 1938 and is now beginning to show deterioration, and last fall received a rating of “4.” Although not currently a concern for failure, the bridge is listed on ODOT's 2019 Municipal Bridge Target List and has been added to the city's capital improvement budget for engineering and replacement in the next few years.

The city is applying for 90 percent of the $1,539,022 estimated replacement project cost through ODOT's Municipal Bridge Program and Ohio Public Works Commission grant programs. The city's expense for the project (5

Stacy Mitchell, supervisor of 911 services for the Toledo Police Department, said that example supports a consolidation of dispatch agencies. She said a Toledo police car was within a block or two of the bank robbery and better situated to hinder the escape, but wasn’t made aware of the robbery until later. After the meeting she added, “I don't even want to go there,” when considering what might have happened if the Toledo police officer become involved in what he or she considered a routine traffic stop, but the car was being driven by an armed bank robber.

Trustees took no action after the approximately three-hour meeting, but Crandall said he had been asked by the county for a decision by the end of September. The ultimate decision of whether or not consolidation takes place will be up to a five-member planning committee. The committee members will be the president of the Lucas County commissioners, Toledo’s mayor, a trustee from the county's largest township, which is Sylvania Township, one person to represent the other townships and a mayor from the other municipalities in the county.

If a majority of that five-member committee approves of consolidation then every community has to participate.The procedure is spelled out in state law and can not be changed at the local level.

The other nine city vehicular bridges and their inspection ratings are: Harroun Road over Ottawa River – “7,” Erie Street over McPeek Drain – “7,” Monroe Street over North Ten Mile Creek – “6,” Hedingham Road over Rice Ditch – “6,” Old Farm Lane over Schreiber Ditch – “6,” Apple Meadow

The work will occur on Stonybrook Boulevard, Sycamore Trail, Timber View Court, and Poplar Court, Plat one and two of Kings Hollow, Goodhue Drive from Moffat to Holland-Sylvania, Zone Avenue from Central to Blossman, Millicent Avenue from Central to Bonsels and Cason avenues.

Two Sylvania Township Services

The annual Sylvania Township collection of unwanted household items and brush removal are scheduled to begin the week of Sept. 9. Both are a one-time sweep of the township and Rob Nash, superintendent of roads and services, suggested that residents have items at the edge of the street the night before to avoid being missed. He also cautioned that no leaves will be picked up.

Brush pickup is meant primarily for stormdamaged branches and tree limbs.

Household items which will be collected include bicycles, bundled books and papers, carpeting, which must be rolled and no longer than 5 ft., empty containers and drums, appliances with no refrigerants, mattresses and box springs, furniture, with furniture legs over 12 inches removed, miscellaneous items placed in disposable containers and toys.

Sylvania–Then and Now

BY GAYLEEN GINDY LOOKING BACK

The recorded date of construction for the next house is 1837. This is the third oldest house still standing in Sylvania. A portion of the Lathrop House is the oldest at 1835, then the Dague house on the northwest corner of Erie Street and Garden Park is next at 1836 (up for sale right now) and this one at 6629 Erie Street is next at 1837. Even though it is 182 years old, it has only had nine families owning it. Here are the owners recorded: 1830s-John U. Pease 1846-Haskell D. Warren 1856-John Endicott 1875-Clarissa Scott 1888-Samuel Andrews, executor of Clarissa Scott 1888-Morris and Marion A. Crum About 1925-Delia E. Waffle About 1929-Wm. and Mary Ann Lindsey 1941-Mary Ann Lindsey 1946-Helyn Mears Howard 1985-Marsh R. and Helyn Mears Howard 2003-Daniel P. and Mia Kujawa John U. Pease may have been the original builder of this home. He was a huge property owner in Sylvania and owned and built very early houses all over the Sylvania area. When this house was being constructed Andrew Jackson was the President of the U. S., and in March of that year Martin Van Buren was inaugurated as the eighth president of the U. S. In 1846, Haskell D. Warren purchased the home. He was also a large property owner, with title to land throughout the downtown district.

He and his sons operated a large store in downtown Sylvania, among other businesses.

His son, William B. Warren, married young and started out emplyed by the railroad, working his way up to superintendent of the railroad, and then later was listed as an engineer.

Years ago, Marsh Howard, who owned this home and property at the time, brought me to the back yard and showed me a headstone that he had dug up. The headstone reads: “Chloe – wife of W.B. Warren – died Dec. 20, 1850 – 28 years.” Chloe Warren died while giving birth to her sixth child. Before that, four of her children died at childbirth, or within a few years thereafter. It was believed that Chloe and her four young children were buried here in the Warren’s back yard. During these early years there were no public cemeteries established yet in Sylvania. After that the rest of the Warren family were eventually buried in Sylvania’s Ravine Cemetery, and William B. Warren has a beautiful headstone listing both wives, and all his children that died. There is also a small stone placed on the family plot that simply

reads: “Chloe.” In retirement Mr. Warren served as superintendent of Ravine Cemetery and served on the cemetery board for many years. Mr. Warren had a very colorful life in Sylvania. I wish I could tell you more.

The Endicotts were living in this home in the 1860 census, and they still owned it by the 1870 census, but must have been renting the house out because I found them living in Peru, Indiana. In the 1880 census Clarissa Scott owned the home, but she did not appear to be living in it.

Morris and Marion Crum purchased the home in 1888 and may have been renting the home before they purchased it. In the 1900, 1910 and 1920 census they were listed living here, and in the 1920 census he was listed as 74 years old and employed as a county deputy sheriff. At some point the front addition was added, and the 1910 postcard photo shows the distinct front windows of this addition. The “Chandler Block” on this front addition also tells us it was added after 1901.

Morris Crum died in 1924 and Marion sold the home about 1925. Marion was living on Asbury Drive in Toledo when she died in 1931.

A classified ad was published in the Aug. 14, 1924 Sylvania Sentinel which read: “FOR SALE – overstuffed davenport cheap. M.B. Crum, 6629 Erie. Phone 138.”

A 1926 Sylvania Postal Service address listing shows Delia Waffle living here at 6629 Erie St. Delia Waffle died in 1929, and in the 1930 census Emil and Dorothy Papenfuss were renting this home. He was 28 years old and employed as a lineman for the telegraph company. Dorothy was 26 years old and living at home was their 1-year-old daughter, Patricia.

William and Mary Ann Lindsey lived in the home next door, to the west during the time they owned this home and must have been renting it out. William Lindsey died in 1940 and in 1941 the home transferred to Mary Ann. She sold it in 1946 to Marsh and Helyn Mears Howard. They lived in the home from 1946 until 2003.

The Sylvania Sentinel dated July 24, 1952, reported that “two huge limbs struck the roof of the Marsh Howard home, 6629 Erie St. One limb tore an eight inch hole in a bedroom ceiling, knocking plaster over the entire room.

Mrs. Howard was home at the time with her small daughter Elizabeth. A neighbor, Blynn Harvey, aided in stemming the deluge of water that was pouring through the damaged roof.”

In October 1954, a building permit was issued to Marsh Howard allowing him to construct a one-story 16-foot by 24-foot frame garage. Mr. Marsh was listed as the builder.

In October of 1961 Marsh Howard obtained a building permit to add a 12-foot by 22.7-foot addition to the rear of the home.

-Mervyn Peake, Titus Groan We come to the end of summer, at a turning point in our lives. Change is in the air.

The month opens up on the 13th with the harvest full moon transiting in the ethereal, sensitive, emotional sign of Pisces, emphasizing feelings, home, family and nostalgia in general. The question now is. what nurtures our soul? If we’re prone to extreme behaviors, this strong polarity of Pisces, opposite the transiting sun, will reveal the addictive realities of our true nature as we begin to question ourselves. In other words, how do we use addictive behaviors to hide out from the deeper issues crawling up from the depths of the subconscious?

Full moon in Pisces-Sept. 13

Notalgia sets in, creating a flood of emotion. In a full moon, the moon is opposite the sun in the sky from our vantage point, requiring us to bring into balance the polarity of two opposing astrological signs.

Here we have the sun, which just moved into Virgo from Leo, and the moon, which has just moved into sensitive Pisces. There is a solar shift of energy from the sun in Leo, bright and sunny with an accent on selfexpression, into Virgo, bringing our attention to the mundane details of life and the need to create order. The lunar shift moves from Aquarius, innovative, but also rational and scientific, to the dreamy flow of the inner world that Pisces brings us.

Mars, the planet of action, in Virgo

Actions speak louder then words. This can be a very picky transit. Efficient, productive and disciplined.

At the start of the month, Mars is transiting in Virgo, slowing down, paying better attention to detail, stopping at each check point. We may, without realizing it, develop more practical strategies, accomplishing our goals more efficiently.

With Mars in Virgo, our desire to “tie up lose ends” or fix things or people that are broken becomes more evident during this transit. For those born under Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius and Virgo, you are most affected. However where it transits in your zodiac chart will be determined by your time of birth.

In addition to all of this, Venus, the planet of love and money, moves into the earthy, mercurial sign of Virgo opposite the full moon in Pisces (Sept. 13), conjunct the transiting Sun in Virgo. Venus, the planet of relationships, influences how we all relate to each other, bringing beauty and light into our lives. When Venus takes residence in Virgo, the sign that rules work and health, we begin to relate on a much more practical level. Though Venus in Virgo is not the total romantic, it does bring more reality and simplicity to how we relate to love. It grounds us. Virgo is all about being of service, doing for each other, emphasizing the process of every day habits and routines.

Where Virgo falls in your own chart will be where Venus takes residence for a month or so. Much of this depends on your time of birth, as well as birth date.

Sun moves into the Venusruled sign of Libra Sept. 22

An a-ha moment! It’s time to celebrate the fall equinox as fall is upon us and the sun moves into the partnership sign of Libra. Relax and take in the beauty. The focus now is about balance-finding your Zen, creating harmony through relationships. Its entrance on Sept. 23 into the air sign of Libra marks a time when day and night are equal in length-fitting for a sign that champions fairness and equality!

Libras are the peacemakers of the zodiac and are known for thinking of another person's needs more so then their own.

Libra new moon-hope for romance Sept. 28

The timing will conjunct the sun in Libra.

If you wish to create more harmony in your life, make an effort to meet people halfway.

This is a wonderful transit for making new friends, creating some good healthy habits, or even perhaps meeting the love of your life! The desire to create balance in your life is truly evident. A good strong cycle to rebuild.

SIGNS Aries (March 21-April 20)

So much activity taking place in your area of health and fitness. Time to get on a routine, focus on health and habits. A good month to take stock of your life as changes in your area of partnerships could be causing you to question yourself. Time to let go, or work on issues that need resolution.

Either make it or break it.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

As a Taurus, security and stability along with routine, are key. At this particular junction in your life, career is held as a top priority. Many changes as well as challenges

within the home front may also be a contributing factor. Also, a strong yet intense period for relationships, as unnecessary reactions could trigger matters that need resolve.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

With so much activity taking place in your area of home, you would do well to focus on yourself, and take time out. Also, a tug-pull between work and friends may cause you to feel overwhelmed and totally exasperated. Up to you to set the pace.

Getting ready for fall? Time to get yourself back on track financially.

Cancer (June 22-July 21)

You have no choice but to follow through on any given obligations that are thrown your way. Saturn, at odds with your own sign, will force feed you to stay as focused as you possibly can. For the next month or so, your home base as well as your area of career may be feeling the pressure. However, now that influences are taking place in Virgo, in sync to your own sign, you may find yourself more inclined to put your best foot forward, and the rest will fall into place.

Leo (July 24-Aug. 23)

Communication may be tough, as the words do not come out as easily as you would like them to with Venus and the transiting Sun in that sacred area of your chart. So be aware of your own limitations.

Also, a great week to focus on the home, taking care of things that have been stored away. Also try your hand at something fun and creative, therapeutic, as well as productive.

Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 23)

are the master of your own destiny. As long as you know this is a touchy time, you may stay clear of situations that can encumber you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

You may find yourself wanting to travel or just get away from it all. This cycle opens the way to newer and better opportunities.

This period can be rather interesting in that it allows you to see from many different angles. Philosophically speaking, this period should allow you to forge ahead on doing things that were left on the back burner. However, keep in mind that no matter how good you feel, you should proceed with caution.

Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 20)

Work matters seem to be way up high on your list this month as you find yourself dealing with stressful situations that need to be put to rest. Feel inspired as Venus, traveling through your area of higher thought, brings forth your more philosophical, highly in-tuned side. A great time to travel, write, or do something kind of unusual.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

As the most creative, independent sign of the zodiac you may find yourself feeling a bit out of sorts as you begin to question your own motives where friends and loved ones area concerned. Heavy thinking, however, not without results. Also, Venus in Virgo transiting the financial sector of your chart, could be an added financial treat as it hovers in your 8th house.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

Generally you’re an analyzer at heart, always thinking things through before reacting. It’s important to remain neutral before jumping the gun. Take care when dealing with petty annoyances, specifically with regard to work matters. In addition, a strong cycle for money as Venus travels through your own sign. Could be a luck cycle, you never know until you try.

This month may find you caught between a rock and a hard place as you scurry to finalize small details, specifically workrelated. In addition, financial situations may have taken their toll, but not for long as you slowly begin to move forward. Venus, the planet of love occupying your love house, can heighten the intensity of a new or existing relationship. It’s up to you to balance the odds.

Your area of love is going through a complete shift. This is your time to sit back and take a complete personal inventory of everything going on around you. Your tolerance level is zero, and you may find yourself hanging on to past and former partnerships. This is a period of not only closure, but a time for major resolution.

Richard Crown Richard Charles Crown, 88, died Aug. 12, 2019, at The Lakes of Sylvania.

Born Oct. 12, 1930, in Batavia, N.Y. to Henry and Anna (Collins) Crown. The family moved to Toledo, Ohio, shortly thereafter, where Dick spent the majority of his adult life. He graduated from Burnham High School in 1948 and married Loretta Smith, on May 29, 1954.

Dick was a tool and die maker by trade.

Fiercely independent and an entrepreneur, he started EDCO Tool & Die with his close friend, Emil Hrbac, in 1964. The rest, as they say, is history.

He was an avid hunter, mediocre golfer and a great fisherman. He loved the cottage on Lake Erie and would get out on the lake any time he could. His fish fries were legendary.

His 27- foot Sportcraft “Better n Nuthin” was his pride and joy. His freezer was always full of perch and walleye when he left for Florida in the fall … and empty when he got back in the spring. Funny how that worked.

After Dick retired, he and Loretta became Florida residents and split time between St. Pete Beach, Sylvania and Long Beach.

Dick embraced his Catholic faith and he and Loretta were longtime members of St. Joseph Church in Sylvania and Blessed Trinity Church in St. Petersburg, Fla. Left to cherish Dick’s memory are sons Brad (Mary) Crown and Doug (Kathleen) Crown; grandsons Nathan (Emily) Crown; Kyle (Kelly) Crown; Peter Crown and William Crown; great-grandsons Edward and Carter Crown; and sister Joanne (Jim) Pfeiffer.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 64 years, Loretta, and his youngest son Terry; parents, Henry and Anna Crown, and in-laws Ralph and Isabelle Smith.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice.

The Crown family would like to thank the staff at The Lakes of Sylvania for their genuine care and concern for our dad. Online condolences to reebfuneralhome.com "I do not choose to be a common man.

It is my right to be uncommon.

If I can, I seek opportunity, not security.

I do not wish to be a kept citizen; humbled and dulled by having the State look after me.

I want to take the calculated risk, to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed.

I refuse to barter incentive for a dole.

I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia.

I will not trade freedom for beneficence, nor my dignity for a handout.

I will never cower before any master, nor bend to any threat.

It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid to think and act for myself; to enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, “This, with God’s help, I have done.”

Sherman graduated from Scott High School in 1940 and was inducted into the U.S. Army on March 11, 1942. He served as a forward observer. He landed in France with the D-Day invasion forces and participated in three major engagements. He was decorated with the EAME Theater Ribbon with three Bronze Stars, a Purple Heart, a Distinguished Unit Citation, and a Silver Star Medal with three oak leaf clusters.

Mr. Goldstein eventually partnered with friends in Keidan's Jewelers. They operated several jewelry stores including stores in downtown Toledo, Southland Shopping Center, Southwyck Mall and Great Eastern Shopping Center.

He was preceded in death by his parents and sister Marilyn. He is survived by his

loving family including daughter Jayne Goldstein (Joshua Weinstein); son Louis Goldstein; and three grandchildren Zale Goldstein, Rachel and Joseph Weinstein. Also surviving is his beloved companion and caregiver of 27 joyful years, Nancy Norman.

Friends may call at the Walker Funeral Home, 5155 W. Sylvania Avenue, Toledo, Ohio on Tuesday, August 27, 2019 from 4:00 8:00 PM. Visitation will continue at the funeral home on Wednesday, August 28, 2019 from 12:00 PM until the time of the funeral service at 1:00 PM, followed by interment at Historic Woodlawn Cemetery. Tributes are suggested to the Sight Center or Ebeid Hospice. Condolences may be left for the family at www.walkerfuneralhomes.com.

Alela Sarkisian

Alela J. Sarkisian, 81, of Ottawa Lake, Mich., passed away Aug. 18, 2019, at the ProMedica Ebeid Hospice Residence, Sylvania, Ohio. She was born in Monroe County, April 19, 1938, to parents Albert and Vivian (McColley) Kutzke, and they preceded her in death.

Alela is survived by her loving husband of 26 years, Bart Sarkisian; daughters Alela “Susie” Hennessy and Arrow (Kevin) Dickerson; sons Allan and Alex Rodewald; grandchildren Austin and Zachary Dickerson, and Alex Jay Rodewald; brother Fred Kutzke; and stepdaughter Stacie (Don) Wachowiak and their children Taryn and Taylee.
