The boys and girls soccer and cross country teams along with boys golf, girls tennis and volleyball tallied 15 All-Northern Lakes League honorees. Every team featured at least one All-NLL finisher. Of those, Head Coach McKenna Reitz’s volleyball group again fielded at the top in terms of team and individual honors. Despite beginning the year with more questions than answers, Reitz’s girls molded together quicker than expected, helping make up for the departure of two of the program’s best players in her tenure. They returned to the mantle as one of the NLL’s frontrunners. The Lady Devils scored victories over all but Bowling Green in league play, finishing with a 9-5 mark and 15-9 overall, bowing out to Perrysburg in a very close, five-set district semifinal match. Leading the way for the Lady Devils was junior outside hitter Allie Hale who added to her already impressive career with first team honors in both the NLL and the district. Seniors Ebony McKenzie (middle blocker) and Amanda Poole (libero) earned honorable mention alldistrict and second and third team All-NLL, respectively. Poole added senior all-academic honors to her resume as well, as did classmates Rachel Burns and Kate Schroeder. Girls tennis also finished with one of its best seasons under Head Coach Gina Ciminillo, notching the 10 match wins she sought as a barometer of success and featuring one of the area’s best new players. Freshman Kyleigh Henthorn was an easy choice for first team AllNLL as she dominated opponents from her first singles spot all year. Her play earned her second team all-district honors. Ciminillo’s first doubles team of senior Silvia Caniglia and junior Sulli Sanders were keystones to the team’s success as well. Both made honorable mention all-district with Sanders taking second team and Caniglia third team All-NLL. Caniglia, along with Hannah Jewell, Brooke Pelton, Lily Taplin and Alyssa Bailey all garnered senior all-academic awards. Boys soccer experienced an expected dip in on-field results following the graduation of an entire lineup’s worth of seniors from one of the program’s best seasons last year. Still, Head Coach Andrew Screptock’s squad managed to secure a 6-1 state playoff win over Whitmer before losing to Southview in the sectional final. While the team results were less than what Screptock hoped, he still saw strong individual performances from Brian Bethel (first team All-NLL; all-district), Justin Sekerak (second team All-NLL; honorable mention all-district), Austin Siefert (third team All-NLL; honorable mention all-district; senior all-academic) and Justin Briggs (honorable mention all-district). The Lady Devils soccer team – also a young group – experienced similar uphill battles throughout their fivewin campaign but were never blown out, except for a pair of early season hiccups. That was largely thanks to a defensive effort led by junior goalkeeper Erica Myers who finished second team AllNLL and all-district. Abby Siefert nabbed the top honors as the team’s lone first team representative on both the league and district teams. Samantha Huber joined Myers as a second team honoree on both squads. Courtney Nowaczyk was a senior all-academic honoree for first year Head Coach Sean Abel.

At the December 1 meeting of Holland Village Council, Mayor Mike Yunker announced that he is searching for three volunteers to serve. The mayor will appoint one member and council will appoint two. Terri Dugan, village tax commissioner, is assisting him in the search for interested residents. They may not be village employees or elected officials. The board will be responsible for reviewing any tax challenges from taxpayers. “I don’t expect it to have a whole lot of activity,” the mayor added. Lyn Krasula, village clerk/treasurer, said there have only been two challenges in the past 12 years. New state laws will go into effect January 1, 2016, based on Chapter 718 of the Ohio Revised Code, as established by Senate Bill 5. They include major changes in municipal income tax collection. The mayor said council will need to vote on the committee appointments at its December 15 meeting. Other Business In other business, council: •Approved the 2016 village budget and wage schedule, which includes a 2 percent pay increase for village employees. •Heard from Mayor Yunker that a plan to patch pavement cracks with slurry seal did not take place this fall, and so $12,000 to $14,000 of work will need to be done in the spring. •Approved a $1,000 contract with Workplace Resources for employee assistance and counseling programs. •Authorized the payment of $14,498 in bills. Council’s next meeting is at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, December 15, at the village hall, 1245 Clarion Avenue, and is open to the public. The meeting will be preceded by a Christmas potluck gathering at 7 p.m. Council also changed its meeting schedule for January. Meetings will take place on Tuesdays, January 12 and 26. –Beth Church The optimism shared by first-year Springfield Head Coach Keith McClure about his Lady Devils basketball team hardly looks misplaced through the early weeks of this season. His team has come out of the gate firing and winning three of their first four contests and both Northern Lakes League tilts. All three victories have come by double-figures. They opened the season with a 58-32 trouncing of Southview. Junior Erica Myers led the charge with 14 points–12 in the second half–and senior Jewel Rollins chipped in 10. Nine players found themselves on the score sheet in the opener. Myers and Rollins again led the way in the team’s 5437 win at Swanton on November 30. The two combined to tally as many points as their opponent, with Myers reining in four treys as part of her 24-point effort. Rollins drained a pair from deep as well and finished with 13 points. While the Lady Devils struggled from the foul line in their second win, they more than made up for it beyond the arc with seven threepointers. Except for a mildly lowscoring second quarter, the quick turnaround against Bowling Green the following night did little to hamper Springfield. The Lady Devils outscored the Lady Bobcats in each quarter en route to a 49-35 win. This time the scoring roles were reversed as Rollins led the way with an impressive 22-point performance while Myers chipped in 12 of her own. They also improved dramatically from the free throw line, converting 13 of 18 from the charity stripe after shooting less than 50 percent (716) a night earlier. Those victories sandwich their only hiccup thus far. That came in their November See DEVILS page 2Á Springfield High School students are participating in Toledo Hospital’s toy drive.

Myers scored 13 and Rollins 10 in the loss. McClure noted that in the loss things went from bad to worse quickly and his team could not flip the switch back. Remarkably, the Lady Devils only trailed by three at halftime despite an eye-popping 18 turnovers through 16 minutes. They finished the game with 27 giveaways. “I think the girls started trying too hard on a couple plays, trying to bring back the team on their own,” McClure said. “Then we just started snowballing–they got a basket, we didn’t get a basket, and the girls sort of dropped their heads. “It’s a good learning lesson. We started out in the first half and showed that we can play them. But we have to put it all together.” Despite the ugliness of the loss, McClure was glad for the challenge early and hopes that when they face adversity in foul trouble or turnovers Road, Holland, $160,000.

We’re going to run into this situation again,” he explained. “So you have to be ready to play and do everything right.

From the desk of Dr. Michael O’Shea, Superintendent of Springfield Schools #springfieldstrong I’m going to deviate from the usual #springfieldstrong format this week to offer long overdue recognition and thanks to Keiran Menacher. Mrs. Menacher is retiring from service to the Springfield Board of Education at the end of this month after serving on behalf of the community for more than 21 years. Creating the capacity for a school district to excel is not done by accident. It takes the deliberate and intentional efforts of a governing board who has a unity of purpose focused on students. Springfield school board members invest unseen and immeasurable hours in their quest to become skilled interpreters of school law, experts at board policy development and vigilant overseers of scarce resources. What’s more, and especially unique to Springfield, being a member of a board of education requires five very different individuals to function as part of a united team! I say unique because Springfield’s board members model for others how professional, caring adults can work together for the betterment of a school district and community. Some may say being a board member is thankless–yet, our board members will tell you that they receive their thanks in a variety of meaningful ways–and most especially through accomplishments of tens of thousands of students who have received a worldclass education from Springfield’s schools. For more than 21 years, Keiran Menacher has been deliberate and intentional in her leadership. Mrs. Menacher has offered her vision and perspective through work on district and state-level committees and with col- leagues serving on other boards. She has helped create within the district a strong management structure that provides both the personal and financial accountability that taxpayers demand and students deserve. Above all, she is (and I am sure will remain) an outspoken advocate for public education. As she retires on December 31 from service to the community, it is important to reflect on her career and accomplishments. Keiran Menacher has served this community well. Her hard work and accomplishments have gained her numerous awards, including selection to the All Ohio School Board. This honor followed her receipt in 2007 of the prestigious Ohio School Boards Association Award of Achievement. Mrs. Menacher also has received numerous regional and state awards and recognition for her contributions to the district and education. While we wish her Godspeed in future endeavors– her presence and service will surely be missed in countless ways. Discover the home we were meant to have.

Front row are Munish Shah, Dimple Shah, Sumiran Shah, Starr Jiang and Liping Mo. In the back are Sylvania Superintendent Scott Nelson, Principal Dave McCarthy of Southview and Principal Steve Swaggerty of Northview. By Sean Maiolo Lori Mitchell, a professor at the University of Toledo and owner of Great Lakes Marketing Research, joined the Sylvania Chamber of Commerce for the monthly luncheon to elaborate on current marketing strategies and what makes companies successful–or not–in that department. Ms. Mitchell holds a doctorate in strategic marketing as well as minors in statistics and international business, both of which lend themselves to her daily work. “My perspective is that I look at everything through the lens of transactions,” she said. “For me, it’s the coloration of a series of interactions that are either successful or not successful.” She acquired her outlook on the field of marketing through her educational and professional experience. As The Holland-SpringfieldSpencer Historical Society will hold its members-only year-end pot luck on Thursday, December 17. The event begins at 5:30 p.m., with dinner at 6 p.m. There will be a raffle, door prizes and a slide show of local history.

However, Ms. Mitchell argued that too often businesses overlook the rather obvious part of why a solution is necessary. “It’s all these solutions,” she said, “but my concern is, are you listening to your customer to know what the problem is so that you actually frame a solution in terms of what their problem is?” She segued that into discussing what businesses need to identify as most important to their customers in today’s market. In that regard, many of the traditional measure- you have to compete with everybody. “You’ve got to be Thing One, and there can be no Thing Two.” S.A.V.E. program is December 12 Science Alliance for Valuing the Environment, Inc. (S.A.V.E.) presents “Santa, St. Francis and the Animals” on Saturday, December 12, from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Canticle Center, 5335 Silica Drive, in Sylvania.

AREA BUSINESS GUIDE AREA BUSINESS GUIDE Historical Society plans pot luck for December 17 generations changed, so have marketing strategies. “Marketing first was always the product. It was always like a better mousetrap,” said Ms. Mitchell. “So if you can make it, you were supposed to make it better than anybody else. But I’m sure you’ve heard people say ‘well, you only need a better mousetrap if you’ve got a smarter mouse.’ That pretty much wore out as the way to solve problems.” That, she said, evolved into the idea that permeates across many businesses and industries to not merely have ings conveyed are what all businesses should seek to create. “Remember when ebay first came out [with the slogan] to ‘Shop victoriously;?” she said. “It wasn’t about the widget you bought; it was that you beat somebody else and you got the better price. I mean, it doesn’t matter what it is that you got. But you were victorious because you were successful. And that’s the thing; it changes you when you become successful.” She also explained how much more difficult marketing is today in the age of what she called “perfect information.” The Internet and emergence of the global market created more competition than could be imagined just 20 years ago. A solution to that, Ms. Mitchell contended, is not to take the copious amount of competitors head-on but reduce the number of challengers to one’s particular business. “If I’m going online and I’m checking everything out and I’m making all these comparisons, you have to reduce competition,” she said. “You cannot take on the role as your competitor because all you’ve done is give people more things to compare you to. And hey, you might be great but at one point you’re going to lose when ments of success like customer satisfaction surveys and ratings–practices of her company–may no longer be suitable. “I’m at the point where I don’t believe satisfaction is enough,” Ms. Mitchell explained. “The thing with satisfaction is that when you get your surveys, they ask you to rate how nice was our personnel at the desk, how nice was the person who did this, how timely was the delivery. You know what’s really happening is they told you that you’re supposed to measure your experience by the personnel, the timeliness and they’re setting you up. What if that doesn’t matter to you? “I don’t think that’s going to work anymore,” she continued. “I think to be successful, we have to go as businesses to the next step. We don’t get to decide what you call successful. I think that today, how satisfied you are with the change in yourself after you had a transaction with me, that’s what gets you going. That’s where I need to be if I’m going to be the business or the partner that you want.” Ms. Mitchell said the early days of ebay proved a great example of how a business can create enthusiastic customers. While their particular business and slogan at the time matched perfectly, she argued that the core feel- Call 419-874-4491 to place your ad.

He has been at the Toledo Area Humane Society since November 5. Eek is quite the playful little guy. He loves to play with toys and run around with people. Eek also is a very sweet and affectionate puppy. If you’re looking for a cuddle buddy, Eek is your guy. Because Eek is just a young guy, he will need someone who wants to spend time continuing his training and teaching him new tricks–but he is very smart and a quick learner. Eek likes to play with other dogs but can get a little scared by big, pushy dogs. He doesn’t seem too interested in cats, so a feline free home would probably be best for this little guy. Eek has been neutered, given a health exam by a licensed vet, is current on his vaccinations and has been microchipped.

By Rhonda Jemison, principal Seniors Jordan Dascani and Dallas Giesige Honored by Rotary On November 20, members of the Holland Springfield Rotary Club honored Jordan Dascani and Dallas Giesige as their November Students of the Month. For those not familiar, the club identifies and honors each month two students whose actions most resemble the club’s motto of, “Service above Self!” Again this month, I am using this column to detail for readers the attributes of the students who are identified to help our community members learn a little more about SHS students and all that they do for our school, their neighbors and the community as a whole. It is my pleasure to introduce you first to Jordan Dascani. Jordan is the daughter of Cindy and Bryan Dascani or Toledo. Jordan is ranked sixth of 277 and recently made her choice to pursue a degree in exercise science/pre-physical therapy while running cross country and track at Baldwin Wallace University. Jordan is an exceptional student and is an officer of our National Honor Society. She also is a past state finalist in the Laws of Life Essay Contest. She is a gifted athlete who has participated in cross country, track, softball and swimming. Above all else, it is her service to others that sets her apart. She is a leader of our nationally recognized Students In Action and was recently appointed to the national Jefferson Awards Foundation’s Think Big team. She helped coordinate the Jim Schall Memorial Blood Drive last summer and plans to continue her efforts in college through Baldwin Wallace’s Jacket In Action program. During her comments, Jordan singled out two teachers–Steve Wetz and Susan Muller–for inspiring her in the classroom. She also mentioned fellow student Tim Franchetti for inspiring her each day to bring happiness to others. Dallas Giesige is the son of Norman and Teresa Giesige of Holland. His class rank is 11/277 and his plans after high school include the pursuit of a psychology/criminology degree from either Miami University (Ohio) or Bowling Green State University. Dallas is leaving his mark on SHS. He also is an exceptional student and athlete. He is the holder of numerous school cross country records and runs both indoor and out- door track. He serves as a mentor for a children’s church school and has volunteered to brighten the holidays for those in need. When asked his most memorable moment at SHS, Dallas was quick to reply that it was the opportunity he took to address the Springfield Township Trustees during last year’s levy campaign. He seized the opportunity to articulate for his classmates what failure of the levy would do to our school–it was both a spontaneous and very proud moment that he will long remember. Dallas, too, identified two individuals who inspire him–SHS teacher McKenna Reitz and his father. Both played key roles in as he chose his future career path. Jordan and Dallas are excellent examples of #springfieldstrong. We congratulate them and their parents on the receipt of this honor. The juried members of the Toledo Craftsman’s Guild are pleased to announce its annual Winter Festival of Crafts show.
