Causes, solutions to Lake
Erie algal blooms addressed
The calendar may still indicate winter, but it won’t be long
before warmer weather arrives
and with it the threat of algal
blooms impacting the water intake on Lake Erie.
The causes and remedies
for these blooms were the
focus of a February 18 Northwest Ohio Ag-Business forum
hosted by the Center for Innovative Food Technology at the
Agricultural Incubator Foundation in Bowling Green.
Dr. Jeffrey Reutter, special
advisor to the Ohio Sea Grant,
a division of NOAA and Ohio
State University’s Stone Lab,
has been studying the lake’s
health since 1971 when it
served as a “poster child for
pollution in this country.”
Ridding the lake of pollutants was a “real challenge,” he
recalled, as it involved multiple
states and the Canadian
province of Ontario.
How did officials clean the
lake and why is it returning to
its polluted state? Dr. Reutter
said in 1969 Lake Erie’s phosphorous level was measured
29,000 tons, and officials estimated that number had to be
reduced to 11,000 tons.
“Two-thirds of the phosphorous came from poor
sewage treatment. That was the
largest source.”
With about a dozen sewage
treatment plants dumping into
the lake, it became imperative
that they be regulated.
“The sources were so well
designed, it was easier to get
our hands around,” he said.
With treatment plants regulated, the phosphorous content
dropped. “Lake Erie became
one of the best examples in the
world of an ecosystem recovery.”
Dr. Reutter said the lake’s
health is significant, noting that
Dangerous
Apps program
set for March 1
A program on “Dangerous Apps” will be held
March 1, at 7 p.m., in the
Holloway Media Center,
6611 Pilliod Road, Holland.
The program is designed to
educate parents and family
members of the intended and
unintended uses of many of
today’s popular apps.
Springfield
Local
Schools, members of the
community, faculty, staff and
students will explore the positive and challenging world
of technology that is available to students of all ages.
In this program, parents
can learn the dangers associated with common apps, how
to monitor their child’s social
media communications, protect them from identity theft,
and limit their access to
“wi-fi.”

it houses the most valuable
commercial fishery in the
world and with tourism and
other industry brings in an estimated $12.9 billion per year.
But the lake has its issues.
Unlike Superior which is cold,
deep and nutrient poor, Erie is
shallow, warm and nutrient
rich. That combination serves
well for the production of fish
and the formation of algal
blooms.
In addition, 80 percent of its
water comes from other lakes
through the Detroit River channel, and the Maumee River is
its largest tributary.
Dr. Reutter pointed out that
95 percent of all water flows in
through the western basin. “So
what happens here is crucial to
the rest of the lake.”
The western basin has the
most agricultural land and the
least forest along with the most
wetlands with creeks and
ditches producing a high runoff
of sediment and nutrients.
“The more it rains, the
more [runoff] you will get.”
Those nutrients help various

Lake Erie’s algal blooms with farmers and agricultural
businesses at the Northwest Ohio Ag-Business forum.
forms of algae thrive in the
lake. “Some are good, some
forms of algae are a nuisance
and others are harmful,” he explained.
Diatoms and green algae
are a good food source in the
spring and fall, but in the summer, blue green algae/
cyanobacteria can form when
the lake becomes very warm.
“Cyanobacteria like warm
water–above 60 degrees–and
high nutrients. The most important is phosphorous.”
The bacteria are capable of
Actions area residents can take
to improve quality of lake water
While farmers in the Western Lake Erie Basin are doing
what they can to improve the quality of Lake Erie, there are
measures residents also can take outdoors to create a healthy
lake and water supply for everyone.
The ODNR recommends the following.
•For lawns, gardens or flower beds, use phosphorous free
fertilizers.
•Maintain as much green space or grass around gardens as
possible. Grass acts as a filtering agent and helps to hold back
water.
•Residents living along a river should avoid mowing the
last five feet leading to the river bank. The tall grass serves as
a buffer, absorbing excess water and filtering any water that
may flow to the river.
•Locate gardens or flower beds as far from catch basins as
possible.
•Wash cars in the grass instead of driveways to avoid
runoff.
producing toxins like microcystin, which was found in
Erie’s water two years ago, he
continued.
Controlling the phosphorous levels is crucial since
lower levels reduce the size of
the algal blooms.
The release of phosphorous
from sewage treatment systems
has remained relatively stable
over the years, but agricultural
tributaries such as the Maumee
River have shown an increase.
“The concentration of
phosphorous
from
the
Maumee is the highest when
discharge is the highest,” he
said, adding that climate
change is a contributing factor.
“There has been an increase
in severe storms, up 37 percent
since the 1950s. And when it
rains, we get a lot of phosphorous flowing in and out of the
[Maumee] bay.”
To restore Lake Erie’s
health, Dr. Reutter said the
phosphorous level must again
be reduced to 11,000 tons. Researchers are basing the reduction needed on the rainiest
years on record.
“If we can reduce [phosphorous runoff from] the
wettest years, it will look like

Traffic study proposes no
changes for Whisperwood
Please Recycle This Newspaper
A Lucas County engineer’s
office traffic study is not recommending any traffic changes
in the Whisperwood subdivision.
Residents had complained
several months ago about motorists speeding through the
neighborhood.
Holland Mayor Mike
Yunker shared the results of the
traffic study at the February 16
Holland Village Council meeting.
Mayor Yunker attended a
Whisperwood homeowners’
association meeting in December, explaining that the Ohio
uniform traffic manual would
not allow the addition of stop
signs to slow traffic.
The residents requested an
independent study, and the
mayor noted that the engineer’s
report came to the same conclusion.
“They don’t even recommend speed humps or ‘children
at play’ signs,” he added.
After reviewing the report,
Councilman Mike Bettinger
pointed out that the traffic
previously agreed upon,” explained Administrator Leslie
Kohli.
She said UT officials believe the project is sound, but
due to a current freeze on
spending are unable to participate.
A feasibility study has already been completed at no
cost to the township using a
$150,000 grant from the
Lucas County Transportation
Improvement District, she
continued.
“The next phase is the preliminary environmental study
and design followed by securing the right-of-way,” Ms.
Kohli said.
“ODOT wants to see this
happen,” said Trustee Andy
Glenn. He recommended approaching ODOT officials to
see if they would be willing
to perform the engineering
and environmental design
work and handle land acquisition.
To fund its portion of the
project, the trustees are considering a State Infratructure
Bank (SIB) loan through
ODOT.
“The thought would be to
take a 20-year SIB loan at 4
percent, which depending on
the scenario, would mean
making no payments the first
two years and then making 18
payments of approximately
$24,815,” Ms. Kohli explained.
Mr. Glenn said he is “extremely uncomfortable committing $25,000 a year for 20
years without a partner. It
makes no sense if we can’t
get help.”
He suggested that in addition to asking ODOT for a
greater contribution, the
trustees reach out to the Village of Holland to assist with
the creation of a joint economic development district
(JEDD) at the undeveloped
areas around the proposed interchange.
“We can always bring in
Toledo later with that
[JEDD],” he said.
Mr. Glenn believes that if
ODOT is willing to take on a
greater role and a JEDD can
be established, the township
counts were not high enough to
warrant new traffic control devices.
“It doesn’t look like the volumes were even close,” he said.

Leap year baby recalls
birthday celebrations
Several weeks ago, the
Holland-Springfield Journal
asked readers who were born
on February 29 for details on
how and when they celebrate
birthdays. The following submission comes from a leap
year baby.

Funding for Dorr Street interchange project up in air
By Jane Maiolo
Construction of a Dorr
Street interchange in conjunction with the I-475 widening
project is in jeopardy, after
the University of Toledo and
City of Toledo backed away
from committing funds.
At the February 16 meeting, the Springfield Township
trustees, one of the partners in
the project, discussed their
options.
Last May, the trustees
agreed to support the endeavor, which will cost in excess of $12 million.
The Ohio Department of
Transportation agreed to contribute 50 percent toward the
cost, but sought the other half
from the community.
The township offered to
support up to $1.5 million
with Lucas County, UT and
Toledo asked to contribute the
remaining amount.
“We had a special meeting
with all the partners about a
week ago at which time UT
and since then Toledo have
indicated that they cannot
commit to $1.5 million as
$25.00 per year
should remain a partner in
the project.
Dumpster Removal
Mike Hampton, public
services director, informed
the trustees that at the request
of Spring Meadows shopping
complex management, the
dumpsters housed at the former Kroger store were removed.
Lucas County operates the
recycling bins as a service to
county residents, he explained, adding that the bins
were removed because too
much trash was being placed
there, creating blight.
The county initially
moved the dumpsters to its
other two township locations
behind the administration
building and at Fire Station
No. 3 on Crissey Road, but
Fire Chief Barry Cousino requested their removal due to
lack of space.
“The additional dumpsters
are gone at Station 3,” said
Deputy Chief Rick Helminski, adding, “At one point,
there were 17.”

once, which was my official
birth date, and was told, “It is
as is on your driver’s license”–
02/29/1952– which means this
year I celebrate my Sweet 16th
Leap Year Birthday!
Am I then 16, again? Yes!
In heart, yes!
This year we are asking
nearby family and friends to
meet us at a restaurant to eat,
then share birthday cake. We
even have coloring books to
entertain the younger ones.
My husband is buying supplies, and he won’t allow me
to see. We decided to ask a
dear friend to help us with the
cake. German chocolate cake
is always best homemade.
My request of family and
friends–once I became old
enough to realize it was my
day to really celebrate well–
has been quite simple. On the
in-between birthdays, I am
willing to share in that “birthday month” celebration for all
whose birthdays falling in the
February to early March category, no problem.
But on my official Leap
Year birthdays, I do not share.
At least not when it comes to
lumping everyone together on
one day, no way! I do, however, share if a co-worker celebrates on the 29th, and have
had that honor and fun only

twice in my life, thus far.
I never ask for big or exaggerated times, just for fun,
family and close friends to get
together and enjoy each other’s
company. That to me is all that
really matters!
This year, I have asked for
no gifts, but if any are so inclined to bring whatever they
might have spent. They can
place it in one of two boxes.
The donations will go toward the Noel Project or
Bethany House. It is always a
blessing to share with others in
need. Besides, on this “my second 16th birthday,” I no longer
want for a lot, but instead am
trying to downsize what I have
been blessed with over the
years.
There have been a few special birthdays, but the one thing
I remember the most was when
my sweetheart of a brother decided I should be well-informed of the fact that, “having
a weird birthday meant I was
adopted and not truly a part of
the family at all.”
Today I smile at that, as I
am sure he would repeat it and
laugh again, but with a big
brotherly hug. He lives in
Florida so that won’t be exactly
possible, but ’tis the thought
that counts.
Thank you for the opportunity to share and smile at some
memories. It has been fun.

Happy Birthday!
township roads. He pointed out
that Holland officials prohibited the trucks from using Clark
street for similar reasons.
The dirt is being delivered
to a house in Springfield Township, on the rear of property
that also can be accessed by
Clark Street.
Between 1,000 and 2,000
loads from the McCord Road
overpass project are expected
to be delivered.
Village officials halted the
hauling of the dirt several
months ago to investigate possible damage to the street.
Mr. Hampton would like
ODOT to inspect the haul
route. He also believes that if
the road becomes damaged as
a result of the hauling, the contractor should “have to rebuild
the streets.”

CAUSES
2012,” he said, which was a
year with low precipitation.
His concern remains the
weather. “The weak point is
climate change causing wetter
periods. If predictions hold, we
will see them more frequently.”
Dr. Reutter said the spring
of 2015 began dryer and led to
hope for a lower bloom. Then
came heavy rains in June and
July. “Last year’s bloom was
the worst we’ve ever seen.”
Saving the region from a
repeat of the water crisis was
the wind. “In 2014 wave action
and the wind moved it [algal
blooms] to the western basin,”
he said and subsequently the
City of Toledo’s intake area.
Wind direction last year
kept the blooms from impacting the water supply.
“There are things we can
all do to reduce phosphorous,”
he continued. “The goal is to
keep nutrients on your field
and eliminate runoff.”
He encouraged farmers to
conduct soil tests and only
apply nutrients when and
where they are needed.
Another option is no-till
farming, a technique that allows farmers to grow crops annually without the cultivation
of soil by tilling.
No-till methods increase
the amount of water and nutrients in the soil and lead to a decrease in erosion.
Also being implemented is
the use of cover crops, which
are planted to manage soil fertility, soil quality, water and
more.
A form of sustainable agriculture, cover crops improve
the sustainability of agroecosystems and the qualities of
neighboring ecosystems.
Additionally, farmers can
utilize a controlled drainage
system. The system, designed
to keep moisture in the soil and
reduce runoff, utilizes strategically placed drainage devices
to manage the flow of water.
Through the implementation of best management practices, Dr. Reutter believes it is
possible to reduce phosphorous levels. “Realistically, we
can reduce, but not eliminate
them.”

Springfield Township woman
wins prizes on Price is Right
Michelle Ruelke, of
Springfield Township, was
the second name called to
“Come On Down” on The
Price is Right. The program,
originally taped on November 11, 2015, aired on
Wednesday, February 24.
Wearing her “Holy
Toledo” shirt, she was the
third contestant to win and
get onstage. After Drew
Carey gave a shout out to
the Mud Hens, Ms. Ruelke
played the Bonkers game
and won in record time.
Later in the game, she
had the opportunity to spin
the “big wheel” and made it
into the Showcase Show
Down, where her opponent
over bid their showcase,
leaving her the winner.
Ms. Ruelke left California with a wine cellar, home
office package, Dell laptop,
Logitech stereo computer
speakers, printer, a six-night
stay at the Villa Being in
Trinidad and Tobago includ-
ing round trip airfare, a
2014 Suzuki Boulevard S40
Motorcycle and a 2015 West
Write Potter 15’ Premium
Edition
Sailboat
with
Trailer.
“The whole experience
was surreal. I feel like it
was an out-of-body experience,” said Ms. Ruelke. “I
hardly remember any of it,
but in the moment, I was
completely calm and laserfocused on what I needed to
do to win.”

Rotary Honors Feb.
Students of the Month
Thank you again to the
members of the Holland
Springfield Rotary Club for
inviting students to share
their efforts to lead and serve
others each month as part of
the Students of the Month
program. Like you, I listen to
their accomplishments while
feeling a mixture of both
amazement and humility ... I
can’t tell you how many
times we are told, “I never
did in high school even half
the things that these students
have made a regular part of
their lives–it is amazing.”
On February 19, the club
celebrated Alexis Powhida
and Samuel Hartman. Alexis
is the daughter of Steve and
Kelly Powhida of Holland.
She plans to pursue a degree
in either education or premed but is still considering
opportunities offered by several schools. She is ranked 12
of 274 of the Class of 2016
with a cumulative grade point
average of 4.1. Both her academic and service resumes
speak volumes– they are long
and impressive and include:
she has attended Springfield
schools all 13 years of her academic career. She challenges herself with both AP
and Honors classes and is VP
of our National Honor Society. She also is active in the
school as an athlete (four
years in basketball; also
played volleyball, soccer, and
ran track at various times); a
mentor for entering freshmen/new students and a
member of the Prom Committee. She also represented
the senior class as a member
of the 2015 Homecoming
Court.
Her service includes Students In Action, participation
in the Secret Santa Shoppe,
the Progeria Playground,
Feed My Starving Children,
and YoungLife. When asked,
she mentioned that she will
never miss school because
she doesn’t want to miss a
minute of her AP Psych class.
She is especially proud of her
efforts on the basketball court
where she tried very hard to
be a leader and offer support
to teammates from the sidelines.
Samuel Hartman is the
son of Charlie and Shari
Hartman of Maumee and
ends the succession of musically-inclined members of the
Hartman family to graduate
from Springfield– something
dating back to before his
grandparents. He is ranked
28/274 in his class, and he
plans to attend the University
of Toledo to pursue a degree
in education.
When describing his high
school career, he highlighted
his achievements in the band
where, as a trumpet player
(all four years in high
school), he achieved section
leader and 2015 Marcher of
the Year.
As a member of the bowling team (again, all four years
in high school) he was honored as Most Improved in
2013, MVP in 2014, and was
named Third Team NLL for
three years. In 2016, he was
named Springfield Athlete of
the Week. Outside of school,
he is a Vacation Bible School
leader at Living Faith United
Methodist Church and is involved in serving through organizations such as the Linus
Project.
The rotary motto of “Service Above Self” serves as
motivation for each member
to give time, talents, and
treasures to others. Springfield Schools also has done
an excellent job of motivating
students like Alexis and
Samuel to become involved
in community service. Without question, these two young
leaders are not waiting until
tomorrow to make a difference in our community. They
are people whom their classmates and community leaders
admire. We join them and
their parents in saying, “well
done.”

Dental Health Month
February is National Chil-
dren’s Dental Health Month,
and we were fortunate enough
to have representatives from
the Sylvania Pediatric Dental
We Replace
Watch Batteries
Care Office come to our
kindergarten classes. During
their visits, they shared ways
to instill good dental habits.
This was through a fun video
and a group discussion on
proper brushing, flossing, and
nutrition. Students were then
shown the proper way to keep
their teeth clean and healthy.
The presentation also displayed some of the frequently
used dental instruments so the
children would be prepared
during a dental visit. In addition, the students learned that
they need to limit their sugar
intake, brush their teeth at
least twice a day, to floss regularly, and to visit their dentist
at least twice a year. Following the visit, the students received a packet of information
and a gift to help them keep
their teeth clean and healthy.
It was a fun way to learn about
proper oral health.

Dr. Michael O’Shea,
Superintendent of Springfield Schools
Points of Pride
There is rarely a day that
I do not experience the need
or opportunity to reflect on
what makes Springfield
Local Schools an exceptional
learning institution. Recently, I joined fellow school
district superintendents Dr.
Romulus Durant, Toledo
Public; Mr. Scott Nelson,
Sylvania City, and Dr. Greg
Smith, Maumee City on a
panel assembled by the
Toledo Regional Association
of Realtors to provide an update on public education to
its members.
Never was my Blue Devils’ pride more on display
then as I offered point after
point of what makes Springfield Schools the best school
district in the area. I placed a
copy of the slides on the
homepage of the district website that we created for the
presentation so that you, too,
can reflect and update your
definition of #springfield
strong!
During the panel discussion, the topic was touched
on that the Ohio Department
of Education last week released “Report Card” data to
provide the public with information on standardized test
results taken during the 201415 school year. Few disagreed as we summarized
student performance that it is
difficult to avoid skepticism
on the validity of the data.
Comparing those data with
prior years’ results is akin to
comparing apples to oranges.
Over the past three years,
the opportunities for stakeholders (taxpayers, parents,
students, business leaders) to
identify a true measurement
or definition of “quality” has
continued to change with the
rapidity of a revolving door!
Terms like “proficiency
Cemetery clean-up
to be Friday, April 1
The annual spring clean-up of the Springfield Township Cemetery by maintenance crews will begin in April.
Andrew Hohlbein, cemetery sexton, is asking that all
winter grave decorations and other items (including shepherd hooks, which are not permitted) be removed from
gravesites by April 1, or the cemetery attendants will remove them.
For more information, 419-865-0239, extension 118.
tests,” “Common Core,” and
“PARCC testing” have been
replaced by references to K3 Literacy, the 3rd Grade
Guarantee, differentiated instruction and “AIR” tests.
The “rating system” has
shifted from phrases such as
“Excellent With Distinction,
Excellent and Effective to an
“A/B/C/D/F letter grade” system. We suspect that even
many in the field of education
are stumped if asked to explain all the acronyms and
changes. Most will question,
too, if the quality of a student’s 180-day educational
experience can be captured in
how well the student performs on any given day on
any given standardized test.
As educators, each member of the panel shared our
belief that assessment is a
critical component to help determine a student’s academic
progress. We also understand
that taxpayers want and deserve to have a measurement
to determine that the dollars
they are investing in public
education are being well
spent. This is especially true
for realtors who often serve
as our ambassadors during
the listing/sale of individual
homes. For years, we have all
celebrated with our stakeholders each time the Ohio
Department of Education
presented the district with accolades and banners. We also
have remained steadfast in
our resolve that test results
are just one component when
defining quality.
The panel ended on the
note that “inconsistency and
change” seem to be the only
constant we deal with in education today. Despite the
challenges, Springfield will,
we always have, continue to
share progress and offer details on how relevant data is
used to continuously improve
instruction and the overall educational experience provided to each Springfield
Local Schools’ student.
I hope everyone takes a
moment to peer at the presentation–it’s hard not to smile at
our points of pride.

Police levy forum is March 2
Springfield Township and the Lucas County Sheriff’s Department will host a police levy forum at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday,
March 2, at the township administration building, 7617 Angola
Road.
Residents are encouraged to attend and speak with representatives from the township and sheriff’s department.
Faced with a $700,000 deficit this year, the trustees contend
the levy is needed to pay for police protection. To balance the
2016 budget, they reduced the level of police protection from
the sheriff’s office by 60 percent or 67.2 hours per week which
equates to 2.8 days. If passed, the 3.8-mill, five-year levy will
generate $2 million annually and cost the owner of a $100,000
home an additional $128.80 per year.

Wood County Justice Center unveils security scanning
system; sparks interest of Lucas County Sheriff’s Dept.
John Shannon of Soter RS stands on the conveyor to demonstrate how the body scanner
operates.
A new security system, designed to curtail and hopefully
eliminate contraband from entering the Wood County Justice Center, is about to be
introduced to those incarcerated at the Bowling Green facility.
On January 22, Wood
County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn spoke about the recently-installed full body
security scanning system
manufactured by Soter RS, a
company in Leeuwarden,
Netherlands.
The sheriff noted that the
unit has already attracted the
attention of the Lucas and
Lake counties sheriffs, both of
whom visited the jail to view
the product.
Developed in 2005, the
first unit installed in the
United States was at the Georgia Department of Corrections
in 2014, explained John Shannon of Soter RS.
Purchased for $118,750,
the system was paid for using
commissary from the jail–not
taxpayer dollars, the sheriff
said.
“Our goal is to minimize if
not eliminate contraband,” he
explained, adding that the jail
books approximately 4,000
inmates each year. “We want
to avoid people smuggling in
drugs or other contraband.”
He believes the system is
provides a proactive approach
to the problem and is much
better than traditional methods
of strip searching. “It’s a safer,
better solution.”
Mr. Shannon demonstrated
how the full body scan operates. At the intake area, each
suspect being booked will be
required to stand on the scanner where indicated by foot
pads.
The prisoner will be asked
to hold hand rails on either
side and look straight ahead.
With the touch of a button, the
suspect is moved back and
forth along the conveyor
where the unit scans the body
for contraband.
He said the system combines ultra low radiation with
maximum visibility and reveals in a matter of seconds
any hidden items.
Operators
(trained
deputies) will see the scan results on a large screen. Each
deputy’s individual preferences for viewing have been
previously recorded into the
system, Mr. Shannon explained, allowing for an optimal view.
The Soter displays a distinct difference between
human tissue and other materials. Even ingested or camouflaged items are visible, he
continued.
Sheriff Wasylyshyn said if
contraband is found, the suspect will undergo further examination and face additional
third-degree felony charges of
conveyance of weapons, drugs
or other prohibited items onto
the grounds of a detention facility or institution.
Using sample images on
the screen, Mr. Shannon indicated how the scanner picks
up a variety of items hidden in
body cavities or swallowed by
prisoners. Among the more
common things found are
razor blades and knives.
Drugs are a big problem, and
drug balloons often can be
seen visibly on the screen.
Sheriff Wasylyshyn explained that visitors will not
be subjected to the screening
since no contact visits are permitted with inmates.
But, he added that regardless of the number of times an
inmate is incarcerated, “every
inmate, every time goes
through the scanner.”
The sheriff believes the
scanner is a “really positive
tool to make the facility much
safer.”
He said the decision to install the unit was made based
on the number of inmates they
have searched for drugs or
other contraband.
“Unfortunately, we are a
detox and mental facility
today, and there are a number
of issues with strip searches.”
The sheriff hopes the new
system will act as a “huge”
deterrent for those being incarcerated.
“I want to be ahead of the
game. My goal is to keep a
safe, clean environment,” he
concluded.

The Blue Devils boys
basketball team took care of
some familiar foes to close
out the regular season and
kick off the state tournament,
beating Perrysburg 77-75 on
February 19 and topping St.
Francis 59-52 in their February 24 sectional semifinal tilt
at Lakota High School.
The win over St. Francis
was slightly less dramatic
than the teams’ previous
meeting just 11 days prior,
but was far more meaningful,
putting the Blue Devils in a
position to capture yet another sectional title.
But as important as that
victory was, the sweeter one
was arguably the win at Perrysburg, finally pushing the
figurative monkey off their
back.
In their first meeting in
January and throughout recent history across almost
every major sport, the Yellow Jackets have beaten the
Blue Devils. Springfield finally dented that aura and
did so on Perrysburg’s senior
night thanks to a number of
strong performances from
their own seniors.
Marshall Cason continued
his string of dominant play in
the season’s second half, registering a game-high 24
points and nine rebounds.
Trent Bond finished with 16
points and made five of his
six fourth quarter free throws
to help ice the game. Trevor
Spangler had yet another
quietly impressive 12-point
night, and Ricky Lightner
chipped in 10 points along
with a team-high five assists.
The only starter not in
double-figures was Robert
Boykin, though he hounded
Perrysburg’s Trevor Hafner
all night long and still added
eight points of his own.
Springfield finished with
assists on half of their 30
made field goals and, as has
become
commonplace,
Cason was the recipient of
many of those.
“I just have to thank my
teammates, he said. “They
put me in great positions the
whole year and especially in
the second half. I’m just
grateful for everybody, and
this was a great way to finish
the [regular] season.”
“He is reliant upon our
guards, and he’s very thankful that we have good guards
that when they get down in
there, they look for him,”
added Head Coach Kyle
Linehan.
“I thought he could’ve
been more assertive in the
first half. They were basically just single covering
him with a man on his back
and he was kind of looking
to pass out. There’s times
where he’s too unselfish but
late in the game–when’s the
last time Perrysburg played
man [defense]–we knew our
guards were going to get in
there and do a great job of
Business News
Howard Cook Jr., president, of HCC Rare Coins, has announced that the firm has completed its move to 1720 Indian
Wood Circle, Suite B, in Arrowhead Park.
“We are excited about our new location and our continued
ability to offer collectors the full range of rare coin services,”
said Mr. Cook.
“This move comes as we are beginning to celebrate our
25th year as a rare coin dealer in the Toledo area. The loyalty
of our clients and their continued support has helped our firm
grow. We are also fortunate to have partnered with leading
banks and branches across Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
New York, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and West Virginia for
over two decades. These relationships underscore our reputation for integrity, experience and trust.”
Mr. Cook has been a professional numismatist for 32
years and is a recognized national leader in the rare coin and
precious metals business. He is one of a very few individual
members of the prestigious PNG (Professional Numismatics
Guild) and also holds PNG’s renowned APMD (Accredited
Precious Metals Dealer) distinction.
Beyond its successful partnerships with banks, HCC consults and works with many certified financial planners interested in balancing client portfolios with coins of intrinsic
value as well as silver or gold bullion.
As trusted numismatists, HCC is often called upon by
trust and probate attorneys to appraise and liquidate coin collections that are part of a trust or estate.
In addition to having thousands of rare coins and bullion
for purchase, HCC offers free appraisals to anyone with a
collection, takes the time to explain the source of valuations
and frequently offers to buy collections on the spot.
Mr. Cook continued, “Our new location at 1720 Indian
Wood Circle in Arrowhead Park is well-suited for private appraisals. Collectors and collection owners may get a free valuation by making an appointment with a numismatist.”
finding him and he’s got
good hands and he’s ready to
catch and score. He does a
nice job.”
That unselfishness spread
to Lightner as well, a somewhat puzzling but still positive development as the
senior guard has typically
been a volume shooter and
the team’s best scorer both
with outside shooting and
transition scoring.
“I thought he should have
taken some more shots. I
thought he had some open
looks that he turned down,
shot fake, and got into the
paint,” Linehan said. “I
mean, heck, if he’d have
made all his layups–uncontested layups–he’s probably
got 16. But we stressed all
week no selfish drives.
You’re going to get into the
teeth of their defense and
that’s where they swallow
you up. You’ve got to get in
there and jump-stop, make
the right decisions and he did
a nice job of finding Marshall and finding open shooters.”
Despite the up tempo
pace, Springfield never quite
pulled away from the Yellow
Jackets thanks to some hot
outside shooting in the second half. Six of Perrysburg’s
eight treys came after intermission.
To make things even
more difficult, the Blue Devils didn’t get to the charity
stripe until less than three
minutes remained in the
game.
Linehan said he never got
too worried, however, trusting that his veteran-laden
team would keep their play
on an even keel.
“You’ve got to go from a
nine-point lead down to I
think one and they’re hitting
threes from guys that don’t
normally hit those shots off
of offensive rebounds,” he
said.
“Off an airball that they
get, throw it right back into a
guy and get a three pointer.
There’s a lot of things that I
think if you don’t have an
experienced team like ours,
they might crack under pressure. But these guys have
seen it before. They know
what they’re doing, and they
don’t panic.”
He was right. The Blue
Devils hit eight of 10 fourth
quarter free throws, including two more clutch ones
from Cason for the second
game in a row and denied
just enough looks in the closing minutes to hang on for
the win.
To keep advancing in the
state playoffs, Cason said the
key is simple, though it is
something that escaped them
at times midseason.
“We’ve got to be consistent. Everybody had a great
game today,” Cason said, before spotting his head coach
and slyly adding, “and great
coaching, too.”

AREA BUSINESS GUIDE
The Springfield Township trustees revised their
dumpster
days
policy,
changing the current collection system.
Showing proof of residency, they now will be issued a wallet-sized card on
their first visit.
“The address stated must
match the address on their license,” said Mike Hampton,
public services director.
The card will be good for
up to three visits per household address in 2016.
Each time a resident visits, the card will be hole
punched and the name and
address recorded on a tracking sheet. Residents will not
be issued another card after
they have used their three
visits.
Mr. Hampton said the
only exception to the policy
will be for events held at the
township that are not affiliated with dumpster days.
Those include the Lucas
County sponsored paint and
tire recycling event and electronic waste recycling.
Located behind the township building at 7617 Angola
Road, Dumpsters Days will
be offered from 8 a.m. to
noon, on the following Fridays and Saturdays in 2016:
•March 4 and 5;
•May 6 and 7, and May 7
also will be Lucas County
tire and paint recycling;
• July 8 and 9;
•September 9 and 10 and,
•November 4 and 5

Since 1999, the NOSF
