Springfield Township hires full-time EMT/firefighter
By Jane Maiolo
At the August 19 meeting, the Springfield Township trustees approved the
hiring of Courtney Smith as
a full-time firefighter/paramedic.
“Courtney meets all the
requirements for the position
and is in good standing with
our department,” said Fire
Chief Barry Cousino in his
recommendation.
“She has been with us for
a number of years [part
time] and has shown commitment and enthusiasm for
the department,” he added.
With the trustees’
approval, the fire chief
administered the oath of
office to Ms. Smith, who
replaces Jason Bowman.
The
trustees
also
approved the hiring of
Brandon MacFarlane and
Joshua Johnson as part-time
firefighters/EMTs.
The two men will fill the
vacancies of two firefighters
hired recently by the Toledo
Fire Department.
Additionally, the trustees
approved the hiring of
Nicholas Short as a part-time
dispatcher for the communication center.

that a suspect has been
arrested for last year’s Hidden Cedars condominium
complex fire.

For Springfield Township resident Joyce Delucia
of Frank Lane, vandalism
is out of control in her subdivision.
Worries about her safety
and that of other residents
in the Carmella Gardens
subdivision prompted her
to address the township
trustees at their August 19
board meeting.
“I’ve lived here for 39
years and have encountered
vandalism, but not to the
extent of the past 60 days,”
she said.
Ms. Delucia said bricks
have been thrown at homes
and windows, numerous
mailboxes have been damaged and residents have
been intimidated.
She spoke with the
Lucas County Sheriff ’s
Department about the problems and was told they
would increase their patrols
of the area, but believes
that is not enough.
Ms. Delucia asked about
the possibility of instituting
a curfew, “a strict, enforceable one that works for
everyone.”
She believes if the situation is not addressed, the
township will begin to lose
revenue. “People will move
out.”
She also expressed concern that some neighbors
“may take matters into their
own hands.”
Township attorney Al
Brogan explained that
townships are restricted on
what they can do by the
Ohio Revised Code.
“Townships do not have the
authority to invoke curfews,” he said.
Trustee Bob Bethel
agreed, noting that only
cities and villages have that
authority.
“What can we do?”
asked Ms. Delucia.
“Realistically one of the
best things you can do is
set up a neighborhood
block watch,” Mr. Bethel
responded.
Lucas County Sheriff’s
Sergeant Matt Luettke concurred. “Block Watches
have been effective,” he
said, noting that residents
are the best eyes and ears
of a neighborhood and
know what is unfamiliar.
The sergeant is aware of
the events at the subdivision, adding, “it is disturbing to us.”
But he explained with a
one-man crew and darkness
being the busiest hours, it
is difficult to stop all the
problems.
He also expressed concern over Ms. Delucia’s
comment regarding residents possibly taking matters into their own hands.
“It gives me the
‘willies’ when I hear that.”
Although a curfew can’t
be implemented, township
administrator Leslie Kohli
questioned
whether
deputies could enforce the
park closure at dusk.
“It could be a deterrent,”
she said.
Trustee Andy Glenn
countered, “But then it puts
them [juveniles] back in the
neighborhood.”
Sgt. Luettke said the
department could issue a
warning to anyone caught
in the park after hours, noting that if the individuals
are found in the park a second time, they could be
cited for criminal trespass.
Bill Toth of Santo Lane
asked if something could
be done about graffiti at the
park.
“The park is there for all
to enjoy, but the graffiti is
incredibly awful,” he said,
adding that he won’t take
his grandchildren to the
park.
He suggested that
deputies conduct random
patrols, especially at dusk
when activity picks up.
He also said a block
watch may help. “I can’t
speak for the neighborhood, but I think we will
need to start to organize.”
Mr. Bethel believes a
block watch, combined
with “aggressive patrols
and addressing the park
issues will help.”
Other Business
In other business, the
trustees:
•Set a public hearing for
the Wingate Meadows and
Village of Plumgrove lighting districts at 7 p.m.,
Tuesday, September 3.
•Reviewed the crime
report for July. Those statistics include 62 thefts, 30
criminal damage, 20
domestic violence, 14 burglary/breaking and entering, and 12 assaults.
On a bright, sunny August
16 morning, members of
Maumee Valley Habitat for
Humanity and the Owens
Corning Foundation gathered
together with the McClure
family to kick off a home
build in Holland.
“This build today is very
special for a number of reasons,” said Mike McIntyre,
executive director of Habitat
for Humanity.
He noted that the home is
being constructed in conjunction with Owens Corning,
which is celebrating its 75th
anniversary.
Owens Corning is sponsoring and providing volunteer support to construct the
home for the family of

Mr. McIntyre. When complete, Ms. McClure will purchase the Favony Street

Blue Devils hope experience will pay dividends in 2013
The 2013 Blue Devil varsity football team
By Sean Maiolo
Transitions and new
starts often bring far more
challenges that result in
trying failures rather than
instant successes. Such
was the tale of the 2012
Springfield Blue Devils
football program.
First-year coach Pat
Gucciardo and his complex schemes combined
with a talented but young
team (a sophomore class
that boasted lots of ability
but equally as much
inconsistency) resulted in
a 1-9 record featuring several landslide defeats.
Such a season could
lead to dismay and other
negative feelings that can
easily sweep their way
into the following season.
However, those worries
can just as easily be
pushed aside with hard
work and mental fortitude
throughout the off season
workouts and into training
camp.
Coach Gucciardo has
seen much more of the
latter thus far, and he
expects to see that translate into results when the
2013 season kicks off
August 30 against Swanton at Springfield Community Stadium.
“It’s more a sense of
walking into a game with
confidence,” he said. “We
had a really, really good
summer 7-on-7 session.
We didn’t lose a game
through the summer. We
played St. John’s, Whitmer, Monroe High School
and Sandusky, and our
kids played really well
and that’s what our kids
need.
“Seven-on-sevens
don’t mean anything but
it’s nice to win and say
‘You know what, we did
beat those teams,’ and
that’s the stuff our kids
need on a regular basis.”
The Blue Devils also
have reason for optimism

this season with returning
talent and senior tailback
Elijah Todd who led the
Northern Lakes League in
rushing last season with
1,415 yards on 225 carries. Todd is one of two
returning postseason captains from last year ’s
squad, a designation he
earned through the weekly
vote of his teammates.
“One thing he did do is
he did a nice job in the
weight room this year.
Right now he’s about 212
so he’s put on about 13,
14 pounds since last year
and he’s just as fast as he
was last year,” said the
coach. “He’s not going to
sneak up on anybody this
year, but I still expect
good things from him.
He’s still going to get his
25 carries a night.”
Todd has earned a
starting spot on the defensive side of the ball at
outside linebacker, a goal
that Coach Gucciardo said
the senior set over the offseason to increase his
impact on every game.
Even though that could
lead to the potential
downside of taking him
out of the backfield periodically to keep him
fresh, the coach believes
his tailback depth will
keep the offense from
slowing down.
“I don’t think we’ll
miss a beat with [junior]
Aren Harris,” he said.
Although Todd is the
clear leader of the senior
squad, the group features
a lot of depth and talent
throughout, most notably
at skill positions. That list
includes wide receiver
Nevada Parker, safety
Terrance Cole and defensive end Devin Gant.
Parker, whom the
coach described as a good
leader, will likely line up
at the X-receiver position
and see a lot of balls
thrown his way. He’s
coming off a solid 2012 in
which he caught 13 balls
for 155 yards and accumulated 311 yards on punt
and kickoff returns.
“I look at Nevada
like–he’s got very good
speed but he’s got excellent hands and is a good
possession kid,” the head
coach said. “You can put
him over the middle, run
him on the curl routes and
out-cuts and things like
that.”
Cole comes into this
season now as a safety
full-time after seeing time
on both sides of the ball
in 2012. He was named
the team’s most improved
player, a reputation he
fortified in the off-season
and during summer camp.
“I’m really proud of
Terrance” said Coach
Gucciardo. “He really is a
good leader and works
hard, and he’s trying to
make himself the best
Art Van Furniture slated to open at end of month
Springfield Twp. store is first in Ohio for retailer
With construction of a
new Art Van Furniture store
nearing completion, the
vacant Super Cinemas
building seems like a distant memory to area residents.
Those curious about
what the retailer has to offer
will not need to wait much
longer.
At an August 20 media
tour, the Michigan-based
company announced that
the 90,000-square-foot
store at 1301 East Mall
Drive will open at the end
of the month.
Diane Charles, director
of corporate communications, said the store was
empty only a few days ago,
but in the span of 72 hours,
nearly half of the store was
stocked with furniture
pieces for every room in the
house.
Constructed after the
demolition of Super Cinemas, the new store features
high ceilings and natural
light. Brick, stone, wood
and other residential materials give the showroom a
fresh, modern look.
Ms. Charles said the
largest furniture chain in
Michigan is known for its
quality furniture and frequently delivers merchandise to Ohioans who travel
over the border to shop at
the retail store.
“Everybody knows Art
Van in Michigan. Our goal
is to make that happen in
Ohio,” she said, adding,
“This is to be the first of
many stores outside of the
state of Michigan.”
CEO Kim Yost said the
decision to open a store in
northwest Ohio was based
on what they heard from
customers.
And why open a store in
2013? “The timing was
right,” he said.
Pointing out the vast
showroom, he added, “This
is our flagship store. This
store is about inspiration
and taking it to the next
level.”
Diane Charles, director of corporate communications,
said Art Van is “excited” to be opening its first furniture
store in Ohio.
tember 5, and will feature
entertainment, refreshments
and a celebrity guest.
Bill Salisbury, who has
been with Art Van for 21
years, will manage the
showroom.
He said the showroom is
designed so visitors can see
different furniture departments from anywhere in
the building.
Those
departments
include seasonal, PureSleep
mattress, kids and teens,
bedroom, living room, dining room, recliner, leather,
media center, world of
floors, clearance and Paul’s
televisions.
The store also features a
center walkway known as
Style Boulevard and
Fourhands, an urban and
industrial art section exclusive to the local store.
With the array of merchandise, Mr. Salisbury
believes there is something
for everyone. “We can fit
you at every price point
level.”
He concluded. We’re
excited to be here and anxBill Salisbury, store manager, discusses the clearance center which is being stocked ious to get up and running.”
with numerous items the company purchases from liquidators “at a fraction of the

cost.”
Constructed at a cost of
more than $10 million and
employing 100 people, the
new store will open with a
public event on Saturday,
August 31. A grand opening
event, Art of Style, is
planned for Thursday, Sep-

couldn’t ask for much
more from Terrance this
early in the season.”
The coach added that
he hopes Gant’s quick
first step, along with his
experience, could greatly
improve the team’s pass
rush and in turn its aerial
defense.
The group also features
quarterback Jake Ridley
and running back/linebacker Lewis Fuller, neither of whom took the
field for Springfield last
season.
Ridley missed all of

Roundabout
complaints
Springfield Township Public Service Director Mike
Hampton addressed complaints regarding the roundabout
at Nebaska Avenue and King Street.
He said residents have voiced objections to the overgrowth on the intersection’s center island.
The neighbors view it as weeds and would like to see it
cut back, but the growth is actually a long native grass
planted by Lucas County to screen motorists’ views, he
explained.
County officials told him the objective is for motorists
not to be able to see, forcing drivers to enter the roundabout more carefully.
Mr. Hampton admits that the circle does look like an
“overgrowth of weeds,” and said its purpose eludes him
since in the winter the growth disappears.

Aquatic therapy is becoming more popular across the
country. The therapists at
Complete Care at Holiday
Park can certainly understand
why. They are some of the
most knowledgeable aquatic
therapists in the region. The
company, owned by Brad
Good and Andrew Miller, is
well versed in helping people
through their toughest physical
challenges. Complete Care at
Holiday Park specializes in
spinal and aquatic rehab so
they consistently see patients
who have been suffering with
pain for a long time before
Aquatic therapy is offered at Complete Care
they come to the clinics.
“A lot of physical therapy clinics are starting to add the use of pools into their programs but
aquatics is not new to us”, explains Brad Good. “We have been skilled in aquatics for over 10
years now. It has been a huge part of our rehab programs. All of the Complete Care therapists
are trained on the benefits of using aquatic therapy. It has been especially helpful when dealing
with back issues, arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint replacement or post-surgery patients. Unlike some
other clinics, all of our therapists are in the water with the patients. This allows our therapists to
be more hands-on and helps them better assess accuracy and evaluation of the treatment.”
Complete Care at Holiday Park, which originally opened in 2003 as Holiday Park Physical
Therapy, saw the benefits of aquatic therapy early on.
“When we opened each of our clinics, we made sure that we obtained the best aquatic facilities in the northwest Ohio region,” said Andrew Miller. “Both the Perrysburg and Toledo clinics
are the only local aquatics facilities to offer a deep well pool kept at the optimal therapeutic temperature of 92-94 degrees. The warm water acts almost like an all over hot pack on the body.
This helps to relax the muscles and increase range of motion for a more successful therapy session. Many of our patients who are experiencing pain, really look forward to their time in the
pool. Not only does the hot water relax muscles, but it also helps absorb the weight of the body,
essentially creating a more pain-free experience for our patients.”
“Our main focus has always been on the unique needs of each of our patients, said Mr. Good.
“We have found that we can achieve great success with all of our patients through our aquatic
programs. Each patient is diagnosed and receives a plan of care focusing on their individual
goals. Our therapist are trained to not only help them recover but help them understand their
recovery. We explain what and why we are doing at each appointment. After our patients have
gone through our program, we want them to continue to be able to do the things they enjoy.
That is why we educate all our patients on how to continue helping themselves when they get
back to their everyday life.”
Complete Care at Holiday Park also offers a maintenance plan for all patients who graduate
through its program. For a minimal fee, patients can purchase 10 extra visits in the pool, that can
be used at any time. The facility is located at 27511 Holiday Lane, Suite 105, Perrysburg. A second location is at 3130 Central Park West, Suite C, Toledo.

Welcome to the
Kingdom of Dorr
Things have certainly
been moving “Happily Ever
After” at the Kingdom of
Dorr (previously Dorr Elementary). First of all, I am
happy to serve as the Dorr
principal again this year. It
was truly a pleasure to
serve the Dorr community
last year, and I look forward
to it once again.
As we enter the new
school year, I would like to
thank our custodial staff,
under the leadership of Darlene Heckman and Dustin
Hamilton, for taking such
good care of our Dorr Castle. It looks great!
We also have had a number of staff changes at Dorr
for the upcoming school
year.
Serving as the Head
Knight (Dean of Students
for Dorr and Crissey), will
be Cory Fritch. He most
recently served as the fifth
grade science teacher for
Holland Elementary.
Due to Mrs. Gajewski’s
retirement, Melissa Feck
will now be serving as one
of our third grade teachers.
Mrs. Shepherd moved to
second grade at Holland
Elementary, which allowed
Katie Word to move to the
Dorr Castle in kindergarten.
Amanda O’Connor will
serve as one of our first
grade teachers due to the
departure of Miss Gibson to
Crissey.
We also had a few staff
changes with the Title staff.
Kelly Allison and Lynn
Sarno will serve as Title
tutors this year to support
our students in the area of
reading.
We welcome Jessica
Grimone-Hopkins as our
new preschool teacher due
to the retirement of Mrs.
Bass.
In the Royal Café, we
will see the new shining
face of Jenn Leasure. The
new recess monitor will be
Josh Mattis, currently one
of our bus drivers, due to
Mr. Jorden’s retirement.
We also have had one name
change due to a summer
wedding; Katie Hartigan,

Coach
Gucciardo
expects them to provide
valuable depth at the least,
though expectations are for
them to be impactful players throughout the fall,
especially with Fuller starting opposite of Todd at
outside linebacker.
Ridley meanwhile, will
battle with sophomore
Scottie Seymour at quarterback, a prospect that’s
very exciting for the
coaching staff.
Despite his youth, Seymour took the coaching
staff and team by surprise
with his quick transition to
varsity football as a freshman so much so that he
was named a postseason
captain and the special
team’s player of the year.

started Springfield’s final
game of the year at Anthony Wayne.
“Scottie is a gem. He
does everything you ask
him to do,” said the coach.
“He makes being a head
coach very easy. He doesn’t say a lot, but he just
does what he’s supposed to
do. He’s a comical kid and
he has his own little comments, but he’s very sincere in what he does and
the kids do follow him.”
Regardless of who wins
that battle, Coach Gucciardo believes last year ’s
struggles will lead this
year’s team to the success
he is accustomed to and
hopes it will become the

Toledo Area Humane Society’s
PET OF THE WEEK
TOOTSIE
Tootsie is a 2-year-old
female chihuahua and terrier mix. This wiry little
bundle of energy enjoys
long walks, stuffed toys and
plenty of petting.
She is bursting to the
seams with confidence, and
she is not afraid to let other
dogs know that she is the
boss.
Tootsie does not like to
be bullied around. She may not tolerate children who handle
her roughly and is best suited for an adult household.
Tootsie has a silly side that usually comes out when she
is playing with her stuffed toys. She has the potential to be
a great mini watchdog and is perfect for an owner that is interested in adding a playful little companion to their home.
Tootsie has been spayed, examined by a TAHS staff veterinarian, is current on her vaccinations, and is microchipped.
The Toledo Area Humane Society also is offering $10 cat
and kitten adoptions every Thursday during the month of
August.
For more information, visit the Toledo Area Humane Society,
1920 Indian Wood Circle, Maumee or call 419-891-0705.

•ROBERT CHROMIK
Robert John Chromik Sr.,
65, died August 20, 2013, at
his Springfield Township
home. He was born April 14,
1948, in Toledo, to Steve and
Cecelia Chromik. His goal to
reach his 40th wedding anniversary to wife, Bonnie, was
fulfilled on May 14, 2013.
A 1967 graduate of
Calvin M. Woodward High
School, he enlisted in the
United States Navy, where he
received an honorable discharge. He continued serving
his community when he was
hired at the Lucas County
Sheriff’s Office in 1969,
where he obtained numerous
commendations and awards.
He also trained with the
United States Department of
Justice’s Bureau of Narcotics
and Dangerous Drugs, and
the Ohio Attorney Generals
Office of Criminal Identification and Homicide Investigation, among others.
He received the Outstanding Officer of the Year award
in 1976. As a robbery/homicide detective he tirelessly
devoted himself to serving
the citizens of Lucas County
by providing a voice for victims of crime. This commitment to the community
continued after leaving law
enforcement, as he wrote
many letters on the behalf of
deceased victims, when their
perpetrators were up for parole. He chose to change his
profession in 1980 and joined
the Seaway Food Town Company, where his career focused on corporate security.
After his career ended with
Seaway Food Town due to a
corporate transition, Mr.
Chromik began a vocation
with the Department Of
Homeland Security under the
Transportation Security Administration out of Toledo
Express Airport.
Throughout the years it
was not uncommon to find
Mr. Chromik working on his
boat and enjoying time with
many friends at Bay View
Yacht Club. His passion for
hunting and fishing continued into retirement. At home,
he enjoyed working in his
yard, and showing off his
home improvement skills. He
remained a steadfast supporter and in contact within
the law enforcement community, and this continues today
with his immediate family.
He is survived by his
wife,
Bonnie
Warchol
Chromik; children, Robert
Chromik Jr., and Carolyn
Chromik Sellers; son-in-law,
Robert Sellers; mother, Cecelia Chromik; brothers,
Steve, Thomas, and James;
brother-in-law, Bill Warchol.
He was preceded in death by
his father, Steve Chromik.
A Memorial Service was
held Saturday, August 24, at
the Sujkowski Funeral Home
of Rossford, with the Rev.
Thomas Leyland officiating.
Interment was private.
Memorial contributions
may be made to the Retired
Police K9 Assistance Fund,

Crissey Elementary
WELCOME BACK
We enjoyed a very “full”
open house. It was wonderful to welcome new and
more veteran families to
Crissey. The first day of
classes for grades 1 to 5 and
our kindergarten boys was
Thursday, August 22.
The first day for kindergarten girls was Friday, August 23.
All students were in class
on Monday, August 26.
Please let us know how we
can make each day a great
experience for every student.
A special thank you to
the Crissey Parent Club for
all that they do. Our newest
families were most impressed with their investments from the technology
to the new playground
equipment.
It truly does take a team
to educate every student!
We look forward to the start
of a very “learning-filled”
school year.
Sessions to help new students learning the SHS “Fight Song” and Alma Mater also were
led by staff and mentors.

New Change in Traffic
Flow for Middle School
and High School
If you are a parent of a
middle and/or high school
student, you will see some
changes in the morning traffic patterns which we hope
will assist in the morning
rush.
As most know, preparations began on district property during the summer
months for the construction of
the railroad underpass on McCord Road.
Phase One included the relocation of many parking

spaces in our bus and student
parking lots.
As a result, the district was
compensated to construct a
new parking area on the west
end of the stadium.
This provided us an opportunity for a much-needed
change to the routing taken
each morning by our buses.
We believe that the rerouting
will relieve a bit of the pressure caused by incoming traffic on Madison and Hall
streets.
With the assistance and
support of Chief Reed and the
Holland Police Department,
the decision was made to
make the entrance to the new
parking area “one way” from
Hall Street to the bus loop and
accessible only for buses each
morning from 7 to 7:40 a.m.
Drivers wishing to dropoff
middle and high school students will follow the same
traffic flow as in the past.
We believe that by removing the buses from the morning traffic flow in this way,
we will increase both safety
and convenience.
As always, we need the
support and cooperation from
everyone. It will take all of us
to follow these new procedures for the benefit of all.
Thank you.
Please drive carefully!

Welcome Back!
Wasn’t it just yesterday that
members of Class of 2013
were receiving their diplomas
at the Stranahan? The summer
went by quickly, and I can tell
you we spent every day getting ready to welcome students
back to SHS.
The start of the 2013-14
school year brings a lot of
“new” faces to our school– we
have 10 new teachers and almost 350 new students ... both
those transferring to SHS from
other schools and those entering high school members of
the Class of 2017.
On August 22, the freshmen had the building almost to
themselves. They were
“shown the ropes” by their
peers during the annual “SHS
Orientation/Mentoring Day.”
Special thanks to all the mentors, teachers, Ms. Ciminillo,
and Ms. McIlwain for making
a memorable first day of high
school for our freshman class.
The day began with a serious discussion about expectations and opportunities. Our
community invests considerable dollars into the education
of each student and, while we
want our students to enjoy
their high school experiences,
we never lose sight that our
main purpose is to educate our
students and prepare each to
reach their academic and career goals.
To get this done, we made
a few modifications to both the
curriculum and technology.
Teachers are excited that
the district’s adoption of a new
K-12 math curriculum will
better prepare students for fu-

New Year, New Schedule,
New Offerings, New Faces
The 2013-14 school year
has kicked off and is in full
swing with many new features for students and staff
alike.
Among those new features
are some changes to our bell
schedule, beginning with a
new start time. SMS classes
now begin at 7:35 with doors
opening at 7:15 for breakfast.
Also, due to new teacher collaboration meetings, doors
will remain closed until 7:20
on Tuesdays. Please plan accordingly. This does not affect the end of our day;
dismissal is still at 2:25.
We are pleased to say that
another exciting new feature
is to bring teams back to the
seventh and eighth grade. In
order to do so, we now have
two eighth grade teams, two
seventh grade teams, and one
split 7-8 team. Stay tuned to
learn the unique, science
themed names that each team
6-8 will assume.
Also new this year are several course offerings designed
to meet student need. Students have the opportunity to
take a study skills course to
help them prepare for their
core courses, learning and
practicing good study habits
and organizational skills.
Also new is a media
course. In this course students
will learn journalism techniques, write news articles,
and create a school newspaper, but also use similar skills
to revive the WSMS video
announcements.
Two more exciting opportunities include a reading
course designed after a “book
club” concept and a yearbook
class as well.
Finally, and probably most
importantly is the addition of
many new, excited faces joining our teaching ranks.
Joining our sixth grade
team are Pam Jordan (previously at Crissey), Sue Hanna
(previously at Holland), Olga
Block (previously from
Crissey), and Jamie Lenox
who finished the year with us
after Mrs. Branstutter’s retirement.
Joining us as part of our
seventh/eighth grade split
team we welcome Pam Vinkler, from the Toledo Prep
and Fitness Academy as well
as Stephanie Schwind, who
finished the year last year in
Ms. Galyas’ position. Teaching eighth grade science, we
welcome Lindsay Friedman,
formerly of Napoleon Middle
School. We also welcome
