Hundreds of Holland/Springfield residents celebrate the season at Christmas tree lighting
From left, Holland Mayor Mike Yunker does the countdown with help from children before flipping the switch to light the tree at
Strawberry Acres Park; Santa Claus holds Anthony Gouller, who experienced two firsts-this is his first Christmas and he was first in
The spirit of the holiday
season came to life December 4, when hundreds of
Holland and Springfield
Township residents converged on Strawberry Acres
Park for the seventh annual
Christmas Tree Lighting.
Sponsored by the Village
of Holland and the HollandSpringfield Chamber of
Commerce, the event began
with holiday music performed by the Springfield
High School brass ensemble
and a visit by the Chick-FilA cow.
Following the band’s
presentation,
Holland
Mayor Mike Yunker
addressed those in attendance.
He noted that the annual
tradition would not be possible without the help of
many volunteers, organizations and businesses.
“I would like to thank
everyone involved,” he
said.
He then invited youngsters to join him at the podium to help light the tree.
Children eagerly scrambled
to the platform, anxious to
throw the switch.
They helped the mayor
count backward from 10
before lighting the 35-foot
tall pine tree at the corner of
McCord, Angola and Clarion roads.
After the tree was lit, the
mayor flipped another
switch, lighting the star
atop the tree.
As if on cue, Santa Claus
came riding down McCord
Road on board a Springfield
Township fire truck, waving
to passersby.
Families walked quickly
in the brisk night air–their
path lit by Springfield High
School JROTC students–to
the Lodge at Strawberry
Acres in time to see Santa
arrive. The jolly old elf
waved cheerfully to the
crowd before entering the

career and life plans.
In addition to the information sessions, students
and parents strolled through
the building, meeting with
Penta instructors and currently enrolled students, who
discussed their technical
fields and career options.
Students also were on
hand with demonstrations of
the skills they learn in their
respective programs as well
as to answer questions
potential students may have.
April Baranowski, a
Springfield High School
senior enrolled in medical
technologies, enjoys being
in the program. “I love it,
love it, love it. It’s the best
decision I ever made,” she
told visitors.
Katelynn Richardson, an
SHS junior in the small animal care program, plans to
be a veterinarian some day
and said the program was
the perfect fit for her.

wishes.
The line to visit the
North Pole visitor had
already formed and within
minutes, stretched the
length of the lodge.
Volunteers greeted visitors with trays of cookies
and piping hot chocolate,
donated by area businesses,
organizations and individuals.
After visiting Santa,
children were invited to
take part in craft projects,
sponsored by the Dwelling
Place Church and the Holland Branch Library.
The church also provided an angel tree, and residents generously selected
from the tree paper ornaments with names of children in need.
A cutout of a snowman
provided by the library also
provided parents with a perfect opportunity to take
more photos of youngsters.

The Springfield High
School Blue Devils varsity
squad tipped off the 201415 season on December 6
at home in dominating
fashion with a 71-38 throttling of the Bowsher
Rebels.
Senior forward Demajeo
Wiggins was the only Blue
Devil to reach double-figures, leading the way with
16 points on eight of 12
shooting. He could have
eclipsed 20 but missed all
five of his free throw
attempts.
Every other Blue Devil
scored at least once on the
night, with a whopping 10
of them, Wiggins included,
netting at least one basket
from the field.
Springfield (2-0, 1-0)
only managed to pull down
19 rebounds–nine on the
offensive end–but did not
have to clean up the glass
much since the Blue Devils
converted 53 percent of
their shots as a team and
65 percent from inside
the arch.
Their only blemish on
the night proved to be poor
outside shooting as they
missed all eight of their
three-point attempts. Former Bowsher Rebel and
current
junior
Zach
Bloomer also had a tough
night against his former
school, going 0-4 from
three and leading the Blue
Devils with three turnovers,
though as a team they only
had 10 giveaways.
The Blue Devils also did
what Head Coach Stan
Joplin expected of them
defensively, notching 10
steals, committing just 16
fouls–only junior forward
Trevor Spangler was called
for four fouls, everyone
else was three or fewer–and
held an athletic Bowsher
(1-1, 0-0) team to under 40
points despite the game
being well in hand late.
That stifling defense

Village council may hire RITA
to collect income taxes in 2015
By Beth Church
By next summer, Holland
residents likely will have a
new local income tax form to
complete.
At a December 2 meeting,
Holland Village Council discussed the option of joining
the Regional Income Tax
Agency (RITA).
Holland Mayor Mike
Yunker said the idea to join
RITA was prompted by the
formation of a joint economic
development zone (JEDZ).
In November, area voters
approved the establishment
of a JEDZ along Airport
Highway between HollandSylvania and Holloway
roads.
A 1.5 percent income tax
will be levied on workers and
businesses in the zone and
collected by the village.
“I talked with the budget
and finance committee,” the
mayor said. “We went
through all the pros and cons
of how the village will handle
the income tax collection.”
For a village employee to
manage collections, it would
cost $54,000 to $68,000
annually, he said.
If RITA takes over income
tax collections, it would take
about 3 percent of the revenue collected.
“RITA has been around a
long time, and this is all they
do,” Mayor Yunker said.
Talking with officials
from Rossford, Swanton and
Waterville, among other
Students explore options at Penta Career Night
On December 8, hundreds of prospective students accompanied by their
parents attended Penta
Career Center ’s annual
Career Night.
The event is designed to
introduce high school freshmen, sophomores and
juniors; middle school students, and parents to more
than 30 career-technical
training options available to
the 16-member school districts served by Penta at the
Perrysburg Township campus.
Visitors attended general
information presentations in
the Susor auditorium where
they learned about the
sophomore exploratory program and two-year technical
programs available to students.
The Sophomore Exploratory program is for students
interested in investigating
career-technical

communities, the mayor
found they were pleased with
RITA’s service.
Council heard a presentation from RITA representative Chuck Hawk explaining
the operations of the agency.
Established in 1971, the
non-profit
government
agency, based in Cleveland,
is overseen by a nine-member volunteer board of
trustees and managed by an
executive director. RITA is
audited annually by the state.
It serves nearly 300 communities in 65 counties of
Ohio.
The agency has access to
information from the state to
cross-reference taxpayers,
Mr. Hawk said, allowing
them to collect additional
taxes that were not being paid
in the past.
RITA will pursue and set
up payment plans for delinquent taxpayers and assist the
village in pursuing cases in
small claims court. Mr. Hawk
said they will work with taxpayers and pursue accounts
only as aggressively as council prefers.
The agency also offers a
variety of technology features, so residents can access
information online and
download tax forms from the
Internet.
RITA operates a toll-free
call center for taxpayers to
ask questions, and e-filing
would be possible for Holland taxpayers, he said. Resi-
dents could pay their taxes
with credit and debit cards.
RITA also would provide
seminars for local tax preparers.
Mr. Hawk noted that his
agency is handling income
tax collection for 23 other
JEDZs in Ohio. Those taxes
will be collected and accounted for separately from taxes
from village residents.
Terri Dugan, village tax
administrator, will remain in
her position to provide personal service to residents.
“Our biggest concern in
this move [to RITA] is the
residents,” she told council.
“I’m still going to be able to
help them prepare their
returns. The residents still
will be taken care of.”
Council heard the first
reading of an ordinance to
join RITA and will vote on
the decision at its next meeting, December 23.
Councilman Prentice
to Retire
After 50 years of service
to the village, Councilman
Dale Prentice announced his
retirement from council,
effective December 31.
He first served on council
in 1964, became mayor at the
age of 28, and returned to
council.

Mr. Prentice noted that
he retired from working in
1999, but “I continued
working for the community.”
“If you’ve got something you can contribute to
the community, you need
to do that,” he said.
Mayor
Yunker
expressed his thanks to
Councilman Prentice for
his knowledge and leadership, especially with street
projects.
“I appreciate everything
you’ve done and wish you
the best,” the mayor said.
“You’re certainly going to
be difficult to replace.”

much to be said–just look
around at all this. Dale

Cautions provided on year-end giving
During this season of
giving, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has
offered charitable giving
tips for Ohioans donating to
charities at the holidays.
“We also want to make
sure that donors’ contributions will end up in the right
hands,” Attorney General
DeWine said. “Giving
directly to a charity you are
familiar with is often the
best way to donate. If you
aren’t familiar with an
organization, check it out
before you contribute.”
Most charitable organizations that operate in Ohio
or solicit Ohioans for donations must file with the Ohio
Attorney General’s office,
and more than 36,000
organizations have filed.
The attorney general’s
charitable law provides
oversight to make sure
donations are not misappropriated and that charitable
proceeds are used for charitable purposes.
Tips for researching
charities include:
•Check compliance with
the Ohio Attorney General’s
office. Visit the website,
www.OhioAttorneyGener
al.gov, or call 800-282-0515
for help researching an
organization.
•Verify the organization’s
tax-exempt status with the
IRS. The IRS’s exempt
organizations select check
can be used to verify if an
organization has a valid
501(c)(3) or other taxexempt designation.
•View the organization’s
IRS Form 990 through the
GuideStar
website,
www.guidestar.org. A free
registration process is
required. The 990 includes
information on how the
group raises and uses its
funds and other operational
details.
•Gather data from private
watchdog groups including
the Better Business Bureau
Wise Giving Alliance, Charity Navigator and CharityWatch.
•Do a basic Internet
search to review a group’s
accomplishments or questionable activity.
•Contact the organization
itself and find out how a
donation will be used. Get
information in writing.
Compare the charity’s written and web-based materials
with the information gathered from other sources.
Mr. DeWine advised
donors to be skeptical of:
•Unexpected calls or
emails seeking donations;
•Organizations
that
sound similar to other better-known organizations;
•High-pressure tactics;
•Refusal to provide written information;
•Requests for checks
made payable to a person
instead of a charity;
•Links in text messages
or emails, which may contain viruses;
•Prizes in return for a
donation, and
•Offers to pick up donations immediately versus in
the mail or online.
Individuals who suspect
questionable charitable
activity should contact the
Ohio Attorney General’s
office.
Tipsy Tow service available for the holiday season
To help members and nonmembers celebrate safely this
holiday season, AAA Northwest Ohio is offering a Tipsy
Tow service from 6 p.m., Saturday, December 20 through 6
a.m., Sunday, January 4.
While AAA encourages
party goers to designate a
driver if they plan to consume
alcohol this holiday, the Tipsy
Tow service is available to
assist those who find themselves in an impaired situation
and need to get them and their
vehicles home safely.
To take advantage of Tipsy
Tow, drivers should:
•Call 1-800-AAA-HELP
(1-800-222-4357) between the
scheduled hours.
•State that they need a
“Tipsy Tow.”
•Provide their name, home
address, phone number and
vehicle location.
“Tipsy Tow is available to
help northwest Ohioans celebrate the holiday safely while
helping fulfill AAA’s mission
of making roads safer for
everyone,” said April
Cochran, vice president, membership, marketing and public
affairs for AAA Northwest
Ohio.
Tipsy Tow provides a oneway ride for the driver and
their vehicle at no cost for up
to 10 miles. Services will not
be provided to motorists
requesting a tow to another
drinking establishment or to a
destination other than their
home. A tow to a hotel may be
allowed if the motorist is, or
plans to become, a guest.
Other services that will not
be provided as part of the
Tipsy Tow program include:
requests for a vehicle start, flat
tire change, gas delivery
and/or taxi service. For trips
longer than 10 miles,
motorists can expect to be
charged the towing company’s
standard rate. If members are
requiring these services separate from the Tipsy Tow program, we will provide the
service as usual.
According to the National
Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, one alcoholimpaired death occurs every
45 minutes across the country,
with alcohol impaired drivers
contributing to one out of
every three traffic deaths.

Senator Brown’s bill allowing
proof of insurance passes House
The Ohio House of Representatives has voted to
pass SB 255 which allows
Ohio motorists to provide
proof of financial responsibility via a smart phone or
other mobile electronic
device during a traffic stop.
When signed into law, Senate Bill 255, sponsored by
State Senator Edna Brown
will make Ohio the 36th
state to pass similar legislation.
“I am very pleased that
the Ohio House of Representatives supported SB 255 and
moved Ohio one step closer
to codifying this very simple
rule that will add convenience for Ohio motorists,”
said Senator Brown.
The proposed law would
not eliminate the printed
insurance identification
cards currently in use, but
would give Ohio drivers the
option of providing the same
information through an electronic device.

math teacher Chris Young was
very surprised on Wednesday,
December 10, when Darcel
Tersigni, office manager from
the Maumee Orthodontics
practice of Drs. Kay and
Paulus, arrived in his classroom to present to him a $100
Visa gift card in honor of his
selection as their December
Teacher of the Month.
Details of the program are
available through Darcel at
the practice. He was nominated by SMS eighth grade
student Jacob Heizelman and
his parents.
Jacob’s comments in his
nomination indicated that,
“with the recent failure of
Springfield’s levy, Mr. Young
could really use the money to
help in his classroom.”
There is no question that
Chris Young is an outstanding
teacher who makes learning
math fun.
Springfield High School News
By Rhonda Jemison,

Holland Springfield
Rotary Honors
Two SHS Seniors
The “newness” of my role
at SHS is fading, but our students continue to expose me
to opportunities to learn new
things every day. Recently, I
learned a little more about
Rotary and the meaning of
the Club’s “Four Way Test.”
Rotary’s 4 Way Test is a
set of guiding ethical principles recited at the start of
each meeting ... Is it the
truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build good
will and better friendships?
Will it be beneficial to all
concerned?
These four questions, first
penned by Herbert J. Taylor
in 1932, serve to ensure his
belief that Rotary can be the
“maker of friendships, a
builder of men and communities, and creator of good will
and friendships between peoples of the world.”
On December 5, the members of the Holland Springfield Club congratulated
Austin Elliott and Jessica
Wong as their December Students of the Month. In doing
so, President Tara Dumas recognized these outstanding
young
people
for,
“ ... living a life that reflects
and models these principles
for all Springfield students.”
I’d like to tell you a little
more about these two. Let me
start with Austin. He is the
son of Mark and Bette of

Holland Springfield Rotary Club President Tara Dumas, center, with students of the month
Austin Elliott, left, and Jessica Wong, right.
Holland and is presently
ranked eighth (of 286 members) of the SHS Class of
2015 with a cumulative grade
point average of 4.2. His goal
after graduation is to attend
Miami University (Ohio) and
pursue a degree in accounting.
Austin is a member of our
National Honor Society, a
student mentor, member of
the varsity golf team and was
one of our delegates to the
2014 Buckeye Boys State.
Very important to him is
the leadership role he has
taken on in our school’s nationally acclaimed Youth Jefferson Awards/Students In
Action initiative.
To read his service resume, you will find that for
Austin, leading and serving
are as natural as breathing.
He has supported the Boys
and Girls Club, Cherry Street
Mission, his and area
churches, and takes a particular issue in causes that address hunger–both home and
abroad.
Jessica is the daughter of
Wai and Pian Wong of Holland, and is ranked seventh
with a cumulative grade point
average of 4.2. She will attend the Ohio State University after graduation and has
yet to finalize her eventual
vocation–although she knows
that
it
will
include
English/education.
Jessica is a member of the
National Honor Society,
Drama Club and is president
of our Foreign Language
Club.
In addition to excelling
academically, Jessica is a
gifted musician. She has been
involved in both our marching and symphonic bands
each of her four years and
currently is baritone/ tuba
section leader.
She also engages in service–both at our schools and
community. Jessica shares
her time and talents with students at the Holland Elementary School library, at the
Lutheran Village at Wolf
Creek and through Race for
the Cure.
Tara Dumas’ words, that
these two are living lives that
reflect and model for all
Springfield students the principles identified by Mr. Taylor in 1932, could not be
more true.
Congratulations, Austin
and Jessica, and thank you to
Rotary for bringing their accomplishments to the attention of our community.

Teachers as Students
Springfield teachers continuously strive to improve
classroom instruction, often
times by pursuing higher education in college classes.
Most recently, Jamie Lenox,
sixth grade English teacher at
Springfield Middle School,
celebrated her first publication in the Winter 2014-15
Illinois Reading Council
Journal.
The article, “Two Codes
are Greater than One: Developing Students’ Vocabularies
with Images and Visualization,” is a product of her
master of education in reading thesis work from Bowling Green State University.
The article focuses on the
importance of quality vocabulary instruction through utilizing the dual-coding theory,
which combines visualization and imagery techniques
to learn new words.
Ms. Lenox shares her
three research-based vocabulary lessons, that have
proven to make significant
gains in students’ word
knowledge, with other professionals in the field,
through this peer-reviewed

that includes her article.

with garland and other greenery.
Above right, visitors can sit in the theater room and

different options to use our

resources.”
The American Red Cross

Reflections of the Season
Over a decade ago, during
Youth in Education Day, I had
the privilege of being “shadowed” by Ashley Talley, a
Springfield High School senior with aspirations of one day
entering the field of education.
Following the experience, I
asked Ashley to write on her
reflections of the day and to
share her thoughts with our
readers. Much to my surprise,
Ashley chose to write about
her reflections on the season–
what the end of another calendar year meant to her from her
perspective.
I am re-printing her article
because its message is timeless
and universal. She shares a
message of hope and promise
for the future. I’ve saved it all
these years because the chal-
lenges she referenced parallel
many of the challenges we
face today. Her insightful reflections both challenge and
encourage us. I hope you
enjoy it.
“The Pillar of Character”
trait for the month of December is spirituality, a trait often
emphasized around this time of
year. Whether you consider the
spirit a sacred entity or a general term describing vague
emotion, the fact remains that
it is the embodiment of what we
as people are essentially made
of.
As you head to the gym
after Christmas dinner this
holiday season, don’t forget to
make time to exercise your
spirit as well. Enjoy more than
one of the many holiday seasons we’ve been given through

the multiple cultures and backgrounds in our society. Learn
to appreciate the past by donating time to one older and
wiser, begin to welcome the future by teaching a lesson or
two to someone younger. Make
a New Year’s Resolution that
benefits more than your waistline or wallet. Stop holding out
for a miracle and learn to create your own.
Economically and emotionally, it has been a very trying time for the country, as
well as the local community.
The blessing of another holiday season should serve as a
reminder that brotherly love
and compassion are at the
core of who we really are, and
that there is no day better than
today to initiate the change
that will make you a better
person, and the world a better
place.”
On behalf of the faculty
and staff, we wish you a happy
and safe holiday season.

home where she could
care for kittens. Now
that she is done caring
for her little ones, she
would love a nice
home to settle down
in. Lilly Belle is around six years old and is a long haired
domestic cat. She is not overly playful, but she does love
the attention you can give her. Her ideal afternoon would
be cuddling up on the couch with her new family. Sound
like the perfect girl for you? Come see for yourself. Lilly
Belle is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations and is microchipped.

visits Crissey Elementary
The Officer Phil Program
was a fun way for Crissey students to become engaged in an
interactive lesson about character education and safety.
The program consisted of
an assembly that combines
magic and comedy to teach
students very important life
skills. Topics presented to
students through the program
were vehicle safety, computer
safety, littering, respect, caring, bullying, diversity and
much more. These topics are
all taught during an interactive magic show to engage
kids in these very important
lessons.

pet in mind when positioning
foods for guests, and place
items out of reach as much as
possible, he said.
Additionally, Dr. Cooper
recommends moving pets to
a different room out of
harm’s way and alert visitors
not to offer treats to a dog or
cat. A list of dangerous plants
and other toxins can be found
at go.osu.edu/holidayhazards.
Determining if a pet might
need a trip to a veterinary
emergency room requires
owners to watch for behavioral changes, Dr. Cooper
said. Signs of toxin exposure
include vomiting, diarrhea,
loss of appetite, change in behavior, trembling, twitching
and seizure. Owners should
call their family veterinarian
if they are concerned. A list
of emergency signs is available at go.osu.edu/petemergency.

Federal funding
to provide
assistance for
homeless vets
U.S. Senator Sherrod
Brown recently announced
$26,976 in federal funding to
provide rental assistance and
clinical services for homeless
veterans in Toledo as part of
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban DevelopmentVeterans Affairs Supportive
Housing
(HUD-VASH)
voucher program.
This funding will provide
rental assistance–in partnership with the Lucas Metropolitan Housing Authority–
for homeless veterans, while
partnering them with a local
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical center.
This is the second round of
housing assistance awarded
this fiscal year.
“Veterans who serve their
country in order to protect our
freedoms should never face
homelessness,” said Sen.
Brown. “This rental assistance for homeless veterans in
Toledo is an important step in
honoring the promise to support those who have already
given so much to our nation.”
In December 2013, Senator Brown announced his support for the Homeless
Veterans Prevention Act, legislation that would improve
homelessness prevention programs and increase the availability of transitional housing
for veterans.
this program to our school.
Students left the assembly
energized from its entertaining value and excited about
being better and safer citizens
in their school and home
communities.
Officer Phil is one of
many character building programs that students at Crissey
participate in.
Decorations sparkle with
inviting lights and tantalizing
scents from special foods entice closer inspection. Unfortunately,
a
too-close
encounter with holiday favorites may lead to an emergency trip for your favorite
pet.
Dr. Ed Cooper, specialist
in veterinary emergency and
critical care medicine at the
Ohio State Veterinary Medical Center, reminds pet owners that holidays can be a
dangerous time for dogs and
cats in the home.
Foods that are tasty treats
during holiday parties can be
dangerously toxic for dogs.
Chocolate, especially dark or
baker's chocolate, consumed
in large quantities can make
our canine pals ill. Grapes
and raisins also can be dangerous, as well as certain
sugar substitutes (xylitol)

The Gateway to Wellness
and Recovery…A Place For
Families will be held on the
third Thursday of each
month from 6 to 7:30 p.m.,
at the University of Toledo
Scott Park Campus Classroom Center. The next program is scheduled for
December 18.
The program is a collaborative effort by the Mental
Health and Recovery Services Board, NAMI of
Greater Toledo, and TASC of
Northwest Ohio where families can find resources in the
Mental Health and Alcohol
and Other Drugs (AOD)
services community.
This free event provides a
place for families impacted
by mental illness or drug and
alcohol addiction to find resources and information.
The event will feature tables from area agencies on
mental health and addiction
services and a monthly
speaker on issues related to
mental health and addiction
services. This is an opportunity for families to gather information to help themselves
or loved ones.
