HollandSpringfield YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER There’s a new sport in town VOLUME 13, NUMBER 37–SEPTEMBER 15, 2015 Established 2003 ©WELCH PUBLISHING CO. www.hollandsfj.us HOLLAND, LUCAS COUNTY, OHIO Bocce ball court opens at Strawberry Acres Park Holland Mayor Mike Yunker takes aim at the target, a small white ball called a pallina. The mayor spent last Wednesday teaching the sport to area residents including, from left, Dorothy Cramer, Bridget McClain and Leslie Ferman, village senior center director. There’s a new–or very old –game in town, and it is designed for people of all ages and athletic ability. On September 1, the Village of Holland completed construction of its first bocce ball court at Strawberry Acres Park. Bocce, an ancient sport, was first documented in a 5200 B.C. painting that depicted two boys playing. The painting was discovered in an Egyptian tomb, according to the World Bocce League. In 600 B.C., the Greeks adopted the sport, passing it to the Romans. It was played by people from all walks of life. Bocce was banned several times through the ages, once in the 1300s when the sport was prohibited to people of lesser nobility and centuries later in Italy when people playing in the streets struck passing noblemen with the ball. Bocce has evolved through the ages. What began as a crude sport with rocks has turned into the modern game using composite or metal balls. Bocce can be played on any level field such as a grassy lawn and in the case of the Holland court, the game is played on a gravel surface. Residents may bring their own equipment or visit the village office at 1245 Clarion Avenue, where equipment is loaned at no charge with proper identification. The municipal building is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Holland Mayor Mike Yunker said the court was constructed for less than $2,000 laying a base and small stone. “There are different ways to make a court, but this involved the least amount of maintenance to make,” he explained. The mayor is hopeful the game will become as popular as the village’s nearby pickleball courts. Opened only a few years ago, the courts are filled with players every day and led to the formation of a pickleball club. To introduce people to bocce ball, Mayor Yunker invited members of the senior center and pickleball players to the court last Wednesday where he provided instruction. Several pickleball members See BOCCE page 4Á Area residents object to development Springfield Twp. trustees approve 74-unit housing complex By Jane Maiolo Over loud objections from a large group of mostly Sylvania Township residents, the Springfield Township trustees approved a developer’s request to construct 74, singlefamily units at 7371 and 7405 West Bancroft Street. ProMedica Programs ProMedica offers the following community events. •Free Mammogram Clinic–Tuesday, September 29, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at ProMedica Bay Park Hospital Women’s Services, 2801 Bay Park Drive, Oregon. Screenings are for individuals 40 to 64 who have no insurance or insurance with a high deductible for mammograms and have not had a mammogram within the last 24 months. Appointments are required; call 419-734-8080 to schedule a screening. •Stroke Support Group– ProMedica offers a monthly support group for stroke survivors and their family. Scheduled speakers and topics vary. The group will meet from 4 to 6 p.m., Thursday, September 24, at ProMedica Flower Hospital Conference Center, 5200 Harroun Road, Sylvania. For more information, call 419-291-7537. At the September 8 meeting, the trustees voted 2-1 to approve the change with Trustee Bob Bethel casting the dissenting vote. Mr. Bethel expressed reluctance to approve the change with issues pertaining to the entry drive and road not fully resolved. McCarthy Builders originally requested a zoning change from RA-4 rural residential to R-3 PUD multifamily planned unit development for the parcels which are located at the Sylvania Township border. But last month, George Oravecz, consulting engineer for the developer, requested a continuance of the hearing to address concerns residents had with the proposed 86-unit rental complex. At Tuesday’s meeting, Mr. Oravecz, presented an amended proposal seeking to rezone the area R-1 PUD single family. The homes will be 1,200 to 1,600 square feet and sold for $150,000 to $250,000. (see drawing page 2) There will be no amenities such as a pool or playground area. Mowing, snow plowing and other maintenance items will be covered by the community’s homeowners association, he said. He believes the impact on the school district population will be minimal, contending that the homes will appeal to empty nesters seeking to downsize or young professionals with no children. “Personally, I think the plan is very much consistent and very much in tune with the master plan,” Mr. Oravecz concluded. The density of development at 4.7 units per acre fits the township’s land use plan for the acreage, concurred Jacob Barnes, zoning inspector. “The staff recommends approval of the zoning change and approval of the PUD,” he said, adding that it is contingent on recommendations laid out by the Toledo Lucas County Plan Commission, Lucas County engineer and township zoning commission. Those recommendations call for a sidewalk to be constructed on Bancroft, detailed landscaping that buffers property lines, construction of a pedestrian/bike path and streets and infrastructure that are built to public specifications. The county engineer also See TRUSTEES page 2Á The odd configuration of a new intersection along North Mall Drive is confusing drivers and posing a danger to traffic, according to Holland Mayor Mike Yunker. At the September 1 Holland Village Council meeting, the mayor explained that the temporary road created to cross the railroad tracks prevents a left turn onto North Mall. “It has an unusual design– there’s a big jog,” he said. “I watched the traffic for several hours and saw some ridiculous maneuvers.” Those included illegal left turns and U-turns, he added. The road was built as a continuation of Hamilton Drive and a detour around the McCord Road railroad underpass project. Drivers traveling southbound approach the intersection, but cannot make a left turn. Instead, they must curve to the right toward the new roundabout. However, motorists are driving across the striped area of the median to travel east on North Mall toward Sam’s Club. Mayor Yunker talked with the police and fire chiefs about the problematic intersection, and then approached the Lucas County engineer’s office. “When winter comes and the pavement markings are Unusual intersection on North Mall Drive confusing drivers See UNUSUAL page 2Á Please Recycle This Newspaper $25.00 per year Metroparks names new parks Two new parks will bring to 14 the number of parks comprising the Metroparks of the Toledo Area. At the August 26 meeting, park commissioners approved the naming of Howard Marsh in Jerusalem Township and Westwinds in the Oak Openings corridor. Howard Marsh was named, in part, after George Howard, who in 1900 purchased about 1,500 acres and established a farm company. The cousin of William Howard Taft, he sold his holdings in 1916, but the name Howard Farms was retained and became established in the community. The word “marsh” was added to honor the property’s ecological heritage and planned restoration, explained Dave Zenk, deputy director. Howard Marsh is part of more than 8,000 acres purchased in the mid-1800s by Eber Brock Ward, a Detroit industrialist, who bought the land to harvest the abundant timber. Mr. Ward dredged a canal through the marsh inland for 2.75 miles to ship timber from his sawmill near U.S. Route 2 and Lyons Road. Known today as Ward’s Canal, it is on the eastern boundary of the land owned by the park district. The timber industry came to a close in 1895 after wildfires burned out of control for several months across eastern Lucas County to the Maumee Bay. In 1998, the metroparks purchased 987 acres of Howard Farms with the intention to restore the land to its natural state. Plans call for returning 476 acres to a coastal marsh habitat reconnected to Lake Erie hydrology with up to 440 acres of nursery/spawning habitat for Lake Erie fisheries. Ninety-two acres will be a deep-water aquatic habitat with water depth in excess of six feet. Another 83 acres will contain upland forest, and there will be 24 acres of nesting islands. Upland prairie meadow is slated for development on four acres. In addition to restoring the native habitat, the park district plans to create recreational opportunities with construction of a 1.4-mile scenic loop drive; nine-acre development zone with parking for 40 cars initially; 6.2 miles of hiking trails, including a 0.3-mile boardwalk; three observation platforms, and a complete blueways system. The blueways will feature six miles of permanent deepwater navigable channel, 250 to 500 acres of fishable waters suitable for canoeing and kayaking and a boat launch.

Page 2 — September 15, 2015 — HOLLAND-SPRINGFIELD JOURNAL TRUSTEES ÁContinued from page 1 recommends utilizing one roadway connection to Bancroft instead of the two proposed by the developer for traffic operations and access management. Mr. Oravecz said the developer is appealing the engineer’s suggestion “as we believe two roads are better.” Springfield Local Schools board member Ken Musch voiced objections to the plan on behalf of the board. “We have real concerns with the density,” he said, pointing out the lot size is 28 by 100 feet. “Ask [former Lucas County] Sheriff Telb, as density increases, so do problems,” he said. Mr. Musch pointed out there is no way to limit the development to empty nesters or those without children. “The problem is five to 15 years down the road. By the time these have sold several times over, the number of children goes up dramatically,” he said. “We will have a lot of children. It places a burden on us, and then we have to go to voters. I don’t believe the residents of this community want that,” Mr. Musch added. When asked by Trustee Andy Glenn what the school board would prefer, Mr. Musch replied “single family homes on larger lots.” Mr. Glenn questioned whether people with a number of children would move into smaller homes with no yard. “I think people are going to buy what they can afford,” answered the board member. Residents of nearby St. James Woods subdivision in Sylvania Township implored the trustees to reconsider the proposal, arguing that the development is too dense and will place a high volume of traffic on Bancroft. They noted that Dorr Elementary and Westside Montessori are within one-half mile of the subdivision. After closing the hour-long public hearing, Mr. Glenn said he had spoken with the developer earlier. “I told him I wouldn’t support multi-family.” However he believes Mc- Carthy Builders listened to those concerns and revised the plan to meet the township’s master plan and eliminate concerns residents had regarding rental units. The trustees debated the merits of making the roads public or private. “Private roads are not unusual,” said Trustee Marylin Yoder. But Mr. Bethel pointed out problems with roads that were not built to public specifications. Those roads can never become public because it is cost prohibitive, he said, questioning whether the work will be monitored to ensure roads meet public specifications. Mr. Bethel also expressed concern about approving the plan without the zoning commission reviewing it again, noting there are significant changes from the prior PUD. “The reason for the zoning commission is to get its input, especially with changes of this nature,” he said. The trustees ultimately approved the plan subject to the developer meeting the recommendations outlined by the zoning commissions and county engineer. Interchange Project Following another lengthy discussion, the trustees authorized fiscal officer Barb Dietze to sign the financial certification letter that needs to be submitted with the trustees intergovernmental agreement for the Dorr Street/ I-475 interchange project. Last month, the trustees approved the agreement with the Lucas County Transportation Improvement District to help fund the project. The Ohio Department of Transportation is contributing 50 percent, but is asking the township, county, University of Toledo and City of Toledo to pay the remaining 50 percent. Based on 2018 projections, the interchange will cost $19.88 million. Ms. Dietze expressed reluctance to sign the financial letter without knowing where the funds would come from. “We only have a limited amount coming in,” she added. Mr. Bethel said the township is committed to funding the project, noting that a loan could be taken out to fund the ISOH/IMPACT seeks donations for Kids Against Hunger refugee project ISOH/IMPACT has been called upon to send supplies and packets of meals to children and their families who are running from ISIS and from their homes that have been reengulfed by armed conflict.

Mr. Glenn agreed, adding that final approval of the budget rests with the trustees. “It is up to the trustees to find funding,” he said. Administrator Leslie Kohli pointed out that the township is obligated to maintain roads but is not required to have a police department, an area of the budget which could be cut if needed. Mr. Glenn said for the township to move forward with a TID or TIF requires the letter be signed. “This has to be done for the project to move forward,” he added. Mr. Bethel agreed, “You put in jeopardy our ability to move forward without that letter.” Other Business In other business, the trustees: •Learned that the Lucas County engineer’s office denied the request to install a fabricated sign notifying motorists of businesses that are open on McCord Road near the underpass construction. The engineer’s office believes that with the opening of the temporary road, there is im- proved access to the McCord businesses. •Authorized the zoning department to remove overgrown vegetation from a vacant parcel at 9005 Angola Road and place the cost of the work as a lien on the property. •Reviewed the zoning report for August. The department issued 14 permits and collected $535. •Heard from Mr. Barnes that the board of zoning appeals denied a variance request for wall signage at 6515 Airport Highway. •Learned that the zoning commission approved a site plan for an accessory building for Vinyl Design, 7856 Hill Avenue. •Paid bills from August 18 to September 8 totaling $231,033, which includes the second installment payment for the Ohio Public Works Commission projects to Bowers Asphalt and Paving for $148,784.

He proposed “a more controlled environment” for a turn lane, such as adding a stop sign. “The county agreed, and they will present it to ODOT for a final decision,” he said. The mayor noted that the roundabout in front of Springfield High School “has been working very well.” He visited the area during the first few days of school to observe traffic. “Everything flowed without a hitch,” he said. “The school traffic went better than I anticipated.” Other Business In other business, council: •Authorized a lease for a LEADS online subscription, costing $1,578 annually, for the police department. Police Chief Bob Reed told council the service would allow officers to access a database of purchased and sold items at pawn shops.

With summer coming to a close, the Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce began its 2015-16 luncheon meetings with a discussion on healthcare industry trends. On September 2, the Sylvania Country Club was packed with chamber members returning from summer hiatus. Dr. Imran Andrabi, president, CEO and chief network integration officer at Mercy Health Partners, updated members on the realities of healthcare today, industry restructuring and the future of healthcare. The Mercy CEO said more than 50 percent of Americans today are suffering from at least one or more chronic health conditions including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity and cancer. Those health issues can be attributed to seven out of every 10 deaths each year. Chronic health problems impact workforce productivity and are costly, he said. “Seven out of eight American workers have a chronic health condition, and $153 billion is lost each year in productivity due to increased sick days,” he added. Treating those illnesses METROPARKS Continued from page 1 place among several parks in the Oak Openings region of western Lucas County. Acquired by the metroparks between 2003 and 2011, the purchase consists of surplus land previously owned by Lucas County that remained undeveloped after the Westwinds Center for Business was constructed on 200 acres. The park name stems from the site’s geographic location on the “west” side of the Toledo metropolitan area, and the word “wind” is derived from aviation and pertains to the park’s proximity to Toledo Express Airport and its use by the Flying Tigers Radio Control Model Club, said Tim Schetter, director of natural resources. “The well-recognized name of the adjacent Westwinds Industrial Park provides an easy landmark and regional context for park visitors seeking the site,” he comes at a high price–in 2010 the United States spent $2.6 trillion on healthcare. Today’s healthcare reform is the force driving change, he noted. Designed to improve patient care, those changes include: •switching from fragmented to coordinated care; •moving from provider centered to patient centered •going from facilities focused to care systems focused, and •changing from inconsistent, variable methods to efficient, evidence-based care. Dr. Andrabi said Mercy’s vision is to deliver valuebased healthcare that keeps people healthier at a lower total cost of care. One of the organization’s biggest goals is to engage patients in their own care. He asked for a show of hands from those who don’t like visiting the doctor, and observed as arms quickly went in the air. “People don’t like to go into a doctor’s office,” he acknowledged, adding that part of the problem stems from the long wait to see the doctor. “We don’t value people’s time.” With the electronic age, added. Mr. Schetter said the site offers an impressive array of Oak Openings natural communities and has prominent dune and swale topography. Plans for the new park include the establishment of a 3D archery trail, the only one of its kind in northwest Ohio. The archery trail provides that is changing, he said. Collecting data electronically allows health information to be quickly accessed wherever the patient is, and provides for faster, more efficient care, he explained. Skype, which also is being used by the medical community, gives instant access to the patient when a doctor’s visit may not be possible. Dr. Andrabi believes patient-centered engagement is crucial, illustrating its importance in an editorial depicting a doctor speaking with a patient. “What fits your busy schedule better, exercising one hour a day or being dead 24 hours a day?” the doctor asks. He noted that patient engagement, population health management and payment reform will drive the future of healthcare. Dr. Andrabi concluded his presentation with the announcement that Mercy’s new Sylvania Medical Center, under construction at 3100 King Road, will open October 5. The 18,000-square-foot center will be similar to the Mercy Perrysburg Medical Center, he explained, noting that it will feature a freestanding, hospital quality emergency room staffed 24/7 by board-certified emergency physicians and nurses. “It can handle any emergency treatment,” he said. Highlighted by state-ofthe-art services and technology, the ER will provide patients with comprehensive emergency care and diagnostic services such as ultrasound, CT, DEXA scan and x-ray. The ER is designed to treat those with a range of health issues from strokes and heart attacks, to respiratory distress, head injuries, abdominal pain, sports, orthopedic injuries and more, Dr. Andrabi said. Patients who need to be admitted to the hospital will be treated and stabilized before being transported. –Jane Maiolo an addition to the metroparks’ growing outdoor skills program. “The site also will offer a loop hiking trail for more traditional park users,” he said, adding that the trail will eventually tie into a trail network leading to other destinations within the Oak Openings corridor. –Jane Maiolo Camelot Salon DANIELLE GUY welcomes Offering Wednesday and Thurday hours, beginning Sept. 16.

He claimed the state championship in the flying 200 meter, averaging 26.2 mph, and 500 meter time trial in the 10-12 year old age group. He was runner-up in the 1000 meter pursuit. Wil is the son of Robert and Theresa Heizelman. Bocce is played with eight large balls and one smaller ball called a pallina. There are four balls per team, and points are earned by getting bocce balls closer to the pallina than the opposing team. Teams can consist of one, two or four players. For fourplayer teams, each player throws one ball. For two players, each throws two balls, and for one player teams, four balls are thrown. When there are multiple players on a team, a playing rotation is decided at beginning of a game. A coin toss determines which team starts and tosses the pallina on the court. The pallina can be thrown or rolled any distance as long as it passes the center of the court. If the player fails to toss the ball properly, a member of the opposing team will toss the ball into play. The player tossing the pallina delivers the first ball. The opposing team then rolls a BOCCE Continued from page 1 found themselves quickly becoming engrossed in the game, and like pickleball, bocce ball can become intense as players vie for points. “It can get competitive, and you won’t want to stop,” he said. The mayor believes the game is ideal for older citizens or those with lesser mobility. “It’s great for those without physical agility or ability,” he said, comparing it to cornhole or horseshoes.

Fortunately, Holland area residents do not need to look very far. The Kim family of Holland own and operate Koreana Asian Grill and Sushi, a cozy restaurant tucked in a small retail plaza at Airport Highway and Bernath Parkway. Sam Kim manages the restaurant for his parents Mr. and Mrs. Kim. For years, the couple ran a small establishment on Reynolds Road. “It had seven tables,” Sam recalled. Several years ago, his parents moved to the present location, former site of Fifi’s Restaurant. They weren’t open long before a fire forced them to close. During the closure, the restaurant underwent remodeling. His father carved oneof-a-kind tables for guests, constructed the sushi bar and added his own decorative touches. One can’t help but admire his craftsmanship. And Mr. Kim’s love of music is evident at the wellstocked bar, which is adorned with pendant lights created from musical instruments such as a clarinet. The restaurant’s atmosphere and fireplace beckon patrons to enjoy a leisurely dining experience, sip a cocktail at the bar or partake of the sushi bar. Korean fare, Sam quickly points out, is new to the region. “We are the only Korean restaurant in town,” he said, adding, “It’s popular on the East and West coasts, but is At the sushi bar built by his father is Sam Kim, right, who manages his parents’ restaurant. His mother Mrs. Kim, center, prepares Korean dishes in the kitchen, while his fiancee Chrissey, left, runs the Japanese sushi bar. relatively new to people in the Toledo area.” His goal is to educate patrons on Korean food. To attract clientele, the family created a Japanese sushi bar, since sushi is popular in the area. Run by Sam’s fiancee, Chrissey, the sushi bar features a variety of tuna and salmon rolls as well as Alaskan, Boston, California and vegetable rolls. For anyone wishing a cocktail with their meal, Koreana offers Soju and Sake, domestic and Asian beers and mixed drinks including the Koreana cosmo, Asian pear, sojutini and saketini. Sam would like to serve Korean beer, but has been unable to find a distributor in Ohio. The main dining area features 12 tables, and an additional dining area in a separate room has seating for up to 30. The room can be reserved for events, parties or meetings, he said. Seated for dinner, patrons can select from a variety of authentic dishes, all prepared by Mrs. Kim. A favorite, dolsot bibimbap, consists of marinated vegetables and egg fry on a bed of rice. It is served in a heated stone bowl. The dish also is available in beef, chicken, spicy pork or bacon. Other entrees include stir fry, teriyaki, grilled mackeral, katsu, pork belly, bulgogi kimchi and fried rice dishes. All entrees are served with banchan (small Korean side dishes) and steamed rice. Doit-yourself lettuce wraps with romaine lettuce, garlic, jalapeno and green onion salad complete the meal. “It’s essentially comfort food, and it’s reasonably priced,” said Sam, adding that dinners range from $10 to $23. For anyone who is still hungry, Koreana desserts include ice cream in green tea, mango, red bean, ginger, tempura green and tempura mango flavors. The restaurant also offers lunch specials such as bento boxes and bibimbaps. All come with miso soup and banchan. Koreana is mindful of youngsters and carries a children’s menu which features chicken tatsuta, chicken chunks, with a side of fruit. A child’s size version of fried rice also is available. In addition to its menu fare, the restaurant offers weekly specials. Happy Hour is Tuesday through Thursday from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Patrons will receive $2 off all wine glass pours, $1 off beer and a discount of $2 on appetizers $6 and up. College ID nights are on Thursdays. Students can receive $2 domestic beers, half off bottles of soju and 10 percent off their purchase with a valid college ID. The Kims invite their neighbors to visit the restaurant and sample the cuisine. “This is an exciting time for us,” he said. Located one traffic light east of St. John’s Jesuit High School on Airport Highway at 1423 Bernath Parkway, Koreana is open Tuesday through Friday for lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.; Tuesday through Thursday for dinner from 4:30 to 10 p.m., and Friday from 4:30 to 10:30 p.m.; Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Sunday, 12:30 to 9:30 p.m. It is closed on Mondays.

COLOR PRINTING/COPYING From the desk of Dr. Michael O’Shea, Superintendent of Springfield Schools Authentic Learning Candidate’s Forum Candidates and elections (that are not scheduled to take place for over a year) are getting a lot of media attention right now. Regardless of the politics involved, I think we can agree that there are several lessons to be learned–perhaps the greatest is the importance of becoming a well-informed voter. While that sounds like it should be easy, the myriad of vehicles available to the electorate to sway one’s vote grows daily–print media, electronic media, social media–even word of mouth. In today’s world, determining what and whom to believe can be a challenge. We are hoping to make the process of becoming an informed voter a bit easier for the members of our community. We are pleased to announce that the Springfield High School Student Government and the League of Women Voters of NW Ohio are working together to offer a Candidates Forum. The forum will take place on Thursday, October 22, from 7 to 8 p.m., in the Springfield High School auditorium. This is a win-win for all of us. This is a “win” for our students, who will learn from the League of Women Voters how to organize and conduct the forum. This is a “win” for our local candidates who will be given the opportunity to introduce themselves and their platforms to potential voters. And, of course, this is a “win” for community members wishing to meet in person those seeking their votes. We hope many will attend and either pose questions of interest–or talk one-on-one after the formal portion of the event concludes. Either way, this is a good thing and continues our commitment to open our doors to educate all in our community. is now available at Welch Publishing’s Perrysburg location! • Flyers • Posters (up to 12”x18”) • Postcards • Business Cards • Competitive Pricing • Brochures • QUICK TURN-A-ROUND 4 COLOR Call us today for a quote on 4 color printing! 419-874-2528 117 E.

Vote for RACHEL GEIGER for Board of Education Paid for by Rachel Geiger for BOE Committee GOOD LUCK! 2015 Blue Devils Boys Soccer Team! GO Senior Johnny Martin eludes a Bowsher defender. By Sean Maiolo There was a lot of yellow laundry decorating the field during the Blue Devils contest against the host Bowsher Rebels on September 4. Those, however, hardly stood in the way–and several actually benefitted the team– as Springfield cleaned house with a dominating 47-7 road win. Aside from a few holding penalties, all of which were overcome, the Blue Devils offense again churned like a well-oiled machine. Senior quarterback Scott Seymour completed 11 of 13 passes for 282 yards and four touchdowns. Those stats were good enough to achieve a perfect quarterback rating of 158.3, a rare feat on the high school gridiron. Classmate D’Andre Hicks caught five of those passes and three of the scores for 120 yards. Steph Robinson, also a senior, regis- tered his first career 100-yard receiving game with three catches for 106 yards and a touchdown. The big plays leave little to be desired for Head Coach Pat Gucciardo and his offensive assistants regarding the Blue Devils aerial assault. “The passing game, a lot of times it’s seven-on-seven,” he explained. “When you have good pass protection, our seven-on-seven team is extremely experienced and able to make big plays. It really is a lot of fun to call when you have pass protection and our guys picked up blitzes well and they sent a lot of people. “The receivers ran good routes, our combination cuts went really well and things like that. I can’t complain.” Junior Bryant Koback added a pair of touchdowns on the ground and finished with 10 carries for 66 yards, all in the first half. As a team, the Blue Devils only amassed 99 yards rushing, leaving just a little to be desired although it was hardly necessary given their success through the air. “To be honest with you, we’d like to see Bryant break a couple more runs,” Gucciardo said. “He had a couple opportunities. The field was a lot soggier than maybe it looked. It was really, really soft and I know he didn’t have good traction.” Through two games, Springfield has compiled 89 points, 548 yards passing and 271 yards rushing. They’re averaging a whopping 9.6 yards per play. “On a [scale of] one to 10, I’d say we’re an 11,” said Hicks. “I am very confident in me and my whole team. We’ve worked very hard since December.” The defense, though not quite as statistically sparkling as the offense, put together another strong game, too. Senior linebacker Alec Taylor continued to wreak havoc in the backfield and the secondary took advantage the Rebels’ pass heavy offense and registered three interceptions. They’re only real blemish came in the first quarter when Bowsher senior quarterback Chris Suddeth found junior Bryce Mitchell deep down the right side for a 60-yard touchdown. Despite bending on a few other occasions, the defense always shut the door on every other Rebels drive. Holland - Springfield Journal Shoutouts are only $20! Call today to post yours! 419874-4491 “We had a read-pass on and we were either going to run the curl flat or the deep out cut based on coverage and the deep out was it. We were looking to get 10 to 12 yards tops and he just made a play on his own. That’s all individual effort.” “I just wanted to give my team momentum,” Hicks added. “They’re with me and with them all the way through, and I just want to fight hard for them to get the victory.” Robinson’s catch came on the offense’s second play of the half, one that turned out to be the final snap for the first unit as it started the running clock, putting the game out of reach. The senior came short across the middle on a play action screen. Bowsher’s front seven all bit on the fake, and Robinson with a convoy of five blockers in front of him took it to the end zone for a 39yard touchdown and 40-7 lead. “Our screen passes and draw plays–we work on those sessions every day–and those kids just did an outstanding job with blocking downfield, ,” the coach said. “The play action really held the linebackers, and Steph ran that play to a tee, faking the bubble screen and then coming back underneath. That’s the way that play is designed. The Blue Devils travel to Perrysburg’s Steinecker Stadium on September 18 to face the Yellow Jackets. Game time is 7 p.m. NLL). Their first win came September 8 against Wauseon. The turnaround was shortlived as they dropped a 2-1 decision the next night at home to Northview. Head Coach Sean Abel’s girls generated little offense in the first half with only a single shot off the foot of sophomore Reghan Baier. That try nearly carried the Northview keeper into the net, but she still managed to turn it aside. Beyond that, the Lady Devils spent most of the frame hunkered down in their own end. “Northview’s attack, they had a good plan and a good shift system going on, and it really threw my girls off,” said Abel. “We weren’t capitalizing on our opportunities and Northview made all the capitalization.” Despite the barrage, junior goalie Erica Myers and the back four of Tatelynn Linares, Rachel Bucher, Carly Rockman and Samantha Huber kept the Lady Kats offense mostly in check. “That whole back four of girls…when they saw how the attack was coming, they did a good job of containing those edges,” Abel said. Northview finally broke through at 37:51 of the half when a long, lofty feed from freshman Ella Scanes found senior Katelyn Shoffer who buried one past nothing to give the Lady Kats a 1-0 lead at intermission. While Northview still controlled much of the second half possession, the Lady Devils did increase their scoring chances and just missed on a header from sophomore Abby Siefert. Siefert got her redemption a little more than 10 minutes later thanks to a nice setup from senior Courtney Nowaczyk. “Courtney was coming right through the middle, she sent the ball up and Abby took a one-touch and saw that the goalie had pulled out far and just was able to hook her body around to get that back corner,” said Abel. “Abby did a great job on the read, and Courtney did a nice job feeding that ball up to her.” The score remained that way for much of the second half as the Lady Devils cturned away Northview’s chances despite the onslaught of pressure. They finally cracked at 74:39 when Shoffer tallied her second marker on a rebound off a Myers save on a two-onone opportunity. Springfield had one final opportunity on a corner kick, but Northview defended it well, and ran out most of the clock for the 2-1 victory. SHS soccer teams battling ups and downs early in season Paid for by Ken Musch for BOE Here’s to a great fall sports season! “They’re going to throw 15, 20 balls down the field and it’s going to happen that they catch a deep ball,” said Gucciardo. “But we also told them that with the amount of footballs they throw that we’re going to get a couple of picks, too, and I believe we got three. We also said…that we’re going to get a bunch of sacks and put pressure on the kid and all those things happened. It happened kind of like we foresaw and it was nice that they only hit on one play.” Robinson–the most experienced member of the Springfield secondary–said the defensive unit feels just as good as the offense. “We always have to feel confident no matter what even if the team is statistically better than us,” he said. “We always have to keep our head in the game and just look forward and play hard every down.” Both he and Hicks combined for two of the most impressive offensive plays of the game. Hicks showed remarkable effort on the final of his three scores. After being pushed back by a holding call, he took a pass from Seymour and made a hard cut to elude the first defender. He then powered through one more near the 15 before spinning past the last tackler at the five to dance into the end zone. “It was [first and 23] on that call and all we’re trying to do as an offense is get half of it back,” Gucciardo explained. The SHS 2015 varsity girls soccer team By Sean Maiolo The girls and boys soccer teams have endured their fair share of challenges early in their respective seasons. The Blue Devils looked to be getting on track following an opening 8-0 loss at St. John’s. That followed with three straight wins, all shutouts of 3-0 against Clay, Whitmer and Oak Harbor to close out the month of August. September, however, has not been as kind as they dropped their first Northern Lakes League tilts against Southview and Northview 4-1 and 5-0, respectively. The most recent came on September 8. Head Coach Andrew Screptock has not put much stock in the lopsided scores thus far. “Wins or losses, we aren’t reading into the scores too much right now; we are focused on bettering the weaker points of our game,” he said. “As we talked about earlier, we graduated all six of our offensive starters from last season, including the entire midfield. “Putting a brand new squad out on the field and expecting immediate success isn’t realistic with the level of talent we are playing against.” There has been some encouraging play from the goalkeeper and defense. Their pedestrian-looking results on the scoreboard against St. John’s, Southview and Northview are deceiving, especially for sophomore netminder Nick Woodard. “Our defense has been pretty solid, but they have let in goals against the tougher teams because they can only sustain so much pressure,” Screptock explained. “We let in five goals against Northview, but our goalkeeper had 19 saves. That's a ridiculously high amount of saves for one game [and] it’s hard to ask much more out of him when he saves 19 in one game.” Improving down the middle will be crucial to the Blue Devils as a team. “Once our centers can control the ball more and our time of possession increases, we will start to see changes on the scoreboard,” said Screptock. Despite some early hiccups, the Blue Devils remain within striking distance of a 10-win season. The Lady Devils have fought through even more turbulence this season, struggling to an early 1-3-1 record (0-2 Page 8 — September 15, 2015 — HOLLAND-SPRINGFIELD JOURNAL Sylvania students earn AP awards A total of 132 students in Sylvania Schools have earned AP Scholar Awards in recognition of their exceptional achievement on AP Exams.

He has a regal personality that is very common in the Siamese breed. Coco is very attentive for a cat of his breed. He likes to be petted and will follow you around if he doesn’t think he’s getting enough attention. Like most royal monarchs, Coco likes to be pampered. Soft beds and canned food are a regular expectation for this prim kitty. His previous owner had him declawed on his front paws, so you won’t need to provide him with a scratching post. Coco doesn’t seem to mind sharing his quarters with a bunch of other cats. As long as he has all of his creature comforts, he is one happy kitty. Coco is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations and is microchipped. For more information, visit the Toledo Area Humane Society, 827 Illinois Avenue, Maumee or call 419-891-0705.

The purpose continues to be two-fold. First, to expose the young leaders to the responsibilities of a board of education. The job is much more complex than most are aware. The second has been to elicit a student voice/opinion on policy matters that directly impact them–whether academic, cocurricular, or topics such as proposed changes in their dress code. Over the past few years, the role of student representative to the board of education was automatically offered to the student government president and/or National Honor Society president. This year, the process has been changed, and interested students will have the opportunity to apply for the position. After applications are completed, qualified candidates will go through an interview process conducted by the board and administration. When that is complete, the student representative and one alternate will be named. I am excited for a variety of reasons. First, many of our students will be able to pursue an opportunity for leadership that was before not available. Plus, I know that the district wants and needs input from those who have the most to gain from the actions taken by the board of education. Believe me, I know these guys have much to say on a lot of issues. I look forward to announcing soon the names of the students who will this year represent their peers in this important way. Stay tuned. Ohio citizens submit amendment to strengthen term limits As a response to the General Assembly’s war on term limits, a group of Ohio citizens has launched a petition drive to enact stronger term limits for legislators. Eight is Enough Ohio has turned in 1,742 signatures to certify a constitutional amendment petition that will limit State House and Senate members to no more than eight lifetime years in one chamber, and no more than 12 lifetime years in the legislature. Under current law, members can serve for life, as long as they don’t stay in one chamber for more than eight consecutive years. “The General Assembly’s sneak attack on term limits, through the ruse of a commission, is a slap in the face to the people of Ohio,” said Eight is Enough Chair Ray Warrick, who also serves as chair of the Warren County GOP. “Our amendment will deliver what Ohioans really want: stronger term limits and fewer career politicians.” In addition to creating a lifetime limit, the new amendment will begin to count partial terms against term limits. This will end the practice of legislators using appointments to skirt term limits and stay in office longer. “Ohio’s term limits are weak when compared to others around the country,” said Mr. Warrick. “And yet, our leaders still whine about them and scheme to get around them.” According a recent poll, Ohio voters agree with Eight is Enough that shorter term limits are preferable to longer ones. A total of 70 percent of voters told the poll that term limits should be kept at eight years rather than lengthened. But the Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission, set up by the legislature, is pushing a proposal to weaken the term limits by 50 percent. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has submitted his certification of the amendment to Secretary of State Jon Husted's office. Mr. DeWine summarized the proposed amendment as a “fair and truthful statement of the proposed law.” Springfield Middle School Ne ws Jeff Pendry, Principal Success Cards Springfield Middle School held its first round of Success Card drawings on Friday, September 4. For those who are not familiar with the program, Success Cards are designed to provide recognition for students for meeting or exceeding expectations with regard to positive behavior and creating an ideal environment for learning. Here is how the Success Cards program works: teachers distribute Success Cards to recognize students exhibiting greater than “expected” behaviors. Students who receive cards then submit them to staff in our office to be held for prize drawings. Our goal is to attract support from even more area businesses to continue twice per month drawings. Right now, we’re seeking gift cards from area restaurants. Special thanks go to Chick-fil-A, the sponsor of this month’s $5 gift card. Congratulations to the five eighth grade students who were recognized on September 4, along with the 10 seventh graders and 15 sixth grade students. The next drawing is planned for September 18. If you know of a business who might be willing to sponsor the Springfield Middle School Success Card drawings, give us a call.

Holloway Elementary SCHOOL NEWS By William Renwand, principal Holloway School Safety Patrol I promise to do my best to…report to duty on time; perform my duties faithfully, and to…. This was the sound of more than 30 fourth and fifth graders reciting their School Safety Patrol Pledge. The AAA supported program is a voluntary service program and open to all interested fourth and fifth graders at Holloway Elementary School. Under the guidance of Rick Rinestine, members were selected for their leadership, courtesy, dependability, interest, attitude toward others and scholastic standing. The primary aims of the patrol are: to help other children become safe pedestrians on their way to and from school and to foster leadership and good citizenship in patrol members. Millions of boys and girls have served since the program started around 1920. Like the post office, students serve the school in all kinds of weather as they stand their post to aid students to and from school. Safety Patrol plays an important role in both school and community safety. As fourth and fifth graders, they are learning the role of com- munity service and responsibility. Guards are posted at the front drive for buses, front crosswalk, front doors, fourth grade doors, and the fifth grade back doors. Parents, we ask for your help in reminding your children to help respect and listen to the patrol guards. School doors open at 8:15 a.m. Parents, a reminder for you if you are entering the school to please enter at the main doors only and stop in the office for a visitor’s badge. A big thank you to all students who are participating in this year’s school Safety Patrol program. HOLLAND-SPRINGFIELD JOURNAL — September 15, 2015 — Page 11 Holland Elementary SCHOOL NEWS Dorr Elementary School News By Cheri Copeland-Shull Butterfly Release Along with the beginning of the school year, one of our second grade classes marked the beginning of the school year with the arrival of butterflies. Of course, they didn’t start out that way. The students in Mrs. Kahmann’s class had to wait patiently as the caterpillars went through their complete metamorphosis. For the caterpillars to grow into a beautiful butterfly, they had to go through four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Mrs. Kahmann led the students through the cycle of a butterfly as they watched the amazing transformation. Once the caterpillars emerged as adult butterflies, the students had the opportunity to release them into the Dorr courtyard. It was a great place to allow the butterflies to spread their wings and soar. Thank you, Mrs. Kahmann and your students, for sharing a wonderful way to learn about the life cycle at Camp Dorr.

One way to stay connected is to check out the district website (http://www.spring field-lucas.k12.oh.us).

Created this school year by Mrs. Reynolds, guidance counselor, the Holland Elementary Facebook page is intended to keep parents and the community up to date with all of the wonderful things taking place in our school. If parents are looking for more active ways to participate, please contact your child’s teachers for opportunities to get into the classrooms and assist with reading groups, center activities, holiday parties, and field trips, to name a few. Finally, parents are encouraged to join the Holland Parent Council (HPC) for more chances to become involved. There are a multitude of events coordinated with or by HPC that calls for volunteers to assist with building initiatives, such as the KRA, Holland Hawk Walk, Turkey Trot, Jump Rope 4 Heart, Family Fun Nights, and many others. As Bob Beauprez once said, “Education is a shared commitment between dedicated teachers, motivated students and enthusiastic parents with high expectations.” The Holland Elementary staff continues to be excited for this school year and the opportunities it brings. If there are any questions about the school or ways to become involved, feel free to contact me at 419-867-5651.
