The week culminates on Friday, October 9 with the traditional Homecoming parade followed by a pizza challenge from 5:45 to 6:45 p.m.
The Blue Devils will take on Northview’s Wildcats at 7 p.m., and at halftime the 2015
Homecoming queen will be announced. Above is this year’s court. Front row, from left,

Treats, activities sought from businesses
Holland Preschool Trick or Treat is Oct. 28
Area youngsters and their
caregivers are invited to participate in the fourth annual Holland Preschool Trick or Treat
to be held Wednesday, October
28, from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at the
Lodge at Strawberry Acres.
Hosted by the Village of
Holland Senior Center, Holland-Springfield Journal, Holland Branch Friends of the
Library and the HollandSpringfield-Spencer Historical
Society, the event provides
youngsters
and
their
parents/caregivers with a safe
alternative to evening Trick or
Treat and affords the earlyto-bed crowd a chance to
enjoy Halloween.
“We love seeing the costumed preschoolers,” said
Leslie Ferman, senior center
director, adding that last year
more than 125 children visited
the lodge.
The lodge hall will be lined
with seniors, and children will
parade around the room collecting treats, she explained.
Children will have the opportunity to spin a Halloween
wheel provided by the Holland-Springfield Chamber of
Commerce for special treats
donated by member businesses. The Chick-Fil-A cow
also will be on hand to greet
youngsters, and a naturalist
from the Metroparks of the
Toledo Area will assist children with an age-appropriate
nature craft project.
There will be pumpkin
decorating, and Spring Meadows Senior Community will
provide cider and donuts.
After visiting the lodge,
parents will be able to walk
children down a decorated
path to the library, where
members of the Holland
Branch Friends of the Library,
Holland Rotary Club and Wolf
Creek YMCA will distribute
treats and offer additional

Conditions at a Springfield
Township mobile home park
drove residents to again seek
help from the trustees.
At the September 21
trustees
meeting,
Matt
Fitzgibbons, a resident of
Royal Village on Dorr Street,
spoke on behalf of his neighbors.
A 20-year resident of
Royal Village, Mr. Fitzgibbons attributes recent crime–
including two murders over as
many years–to deteriorating
conditions at the complex.
He reminded the trustees
that they visited the park a
few years ago after residents
expressed concern, and the
visit resulted in some repairs
being performed. “But it’s
back to deteriorating,” he
said.
Mr. Fitzgibbons believes
the park lacks sufficient outdoor lighting and contends
that it is short of 11 functioning lights, the minimum required by the Ohio Mobile
Home Commission (OMHC)
and Ohio Revised Code
(ORC). According to ORC
4781-12-10, “All mobile
home park streets shall be
lighted at night by not less
than three-tenths foot candle
of artificial light.”
“Lighting is essential, and
the place is not well lit,” Mr.
Fitzgibbons said, adding that
proper lighting would help reduce crime.
The trustees questioned
whether he has contacted the
OMHC regarding their concerns. “Yes I have,” he responded, but noted that the
commission “has fewer teeth
than the health department
when dealing with this.”
He noted that Bayshore
Mobile Sales owner, Ross H.
Patrich, has failed to address
issues in the park–which also
include roach infestations, a
buildup of trash and dilapidated homes–even when
threatened with OMHC fines.
“One thing is clear. Unless
someone with authority goes
after him, nothing gets done.”
Mr. Fitzgibbons believes

liaison for the school district,
said two students previously
served on the board. The student council president and National Honor Society president
took turns attending board
meetings.
However, this year the
board decided interested candidates should apply to serve
on the board.
“It gives a student voice
and opinion at the meetings,”
she noted. “They can explain
how issues affect students.”
“Take a Walk”
to Return at Holloway
The board decided to bring
back the opportunity for local
walkers to use the Holloway
building for exercise before
and after school.
The indoor walking program for area residents was
suspended last year due to
budget cuts.
However, the board decided to reinstate the program,
which allows walking no matter the weather. Hours are still
being determined.
Personnel Matters
The school board took action on the following personnel decisions:
•Accepted retirements of
Bob Stitely, HVAC Tech, effective December 31, and
Amy Weemes, assistant treasurer, effective October 9.
•Approved classified personnel change of assignments–Jamie Parton, from
elementary/SMS library clerk,
back to five-hour food service
position at high school.
•Approved a 2015-16 classified personnel contract for

Fall is in the air and in the garden
The Holland-Springfield Journal has been asking residents to submit photographs of their
gardens for publication. Reflecting the change of seasons, this garden at the home of Rita
Kaiser features Jack O’ Lanterns, a skeleton and spider anxiously awaiting the Trick or
Treat crowd who will be visiting the neighborhood on October 31. Readers are encouraged
to submit photographs of their fall decor to editor@hollandsfj.us. Include your name and
any details about the display.

the OHMC gives the owner
ample time to address issues
without penalty and has accepted documentation such as
photos, asserting that problems were corrected, without
physically inspecting the
premises.
“I’m asking for your help.
The laws are there, but the
trouble is getting them enforced. I’m interested in your
help. There has to be some
way to keep the fellow honest,” he said, adding, “I’d like
to see him fined or his license
removed.”
Trustee Bob Bethel said he
understands the residents’
predicament, “but there is a
limited amount we can do as
trustees.”
Trustee Andy Glenn concurred, noting that when it
comes to mobile home parks,
“Ohio [law] takes away the
authority of townships,” leaving them with no authority to
enforce the township’s zoning
code.
Jim Backus, also a Royal
Oak resident, implored the
trustees for help, noting that he
can see deteriorating homes
from his lot. Despite the two
murders, he believes the mobile home park is not a bad
place to live and would be nice
if the issues are addressed.
“We are going to try to
form a Block Watch. There
still are a lot of good people
there,” he said.
Mr. Backus believes the
new manager is trying hard to
make improvements, “but her
hands are tied too.”
He added, “We just want
the place cleaned up. This
[mess] doesn’t help anybody.”
Mr. Bethel said the trustees
will do what they can to stay
on top of the problems including contacting local legislators
and the health department, and
he encouraged residents to follow suit.
Energy District
The trustees approved the
establishment of a Energy
Special Improvement District
(ESID) through the Better
Buildings program of the
Toledo Lucas County Port Authority.
The ESID offers businesses
low-cost financing for projects
that conserve energy and generate savings through equipment retrofits to existing
facilities and building systems.
Township administrator
Leslie Kohli explained that
two township businesses–
Barron’s Lawn Service and
WM Northwest Ohio on Airport Highway–filed a petition
with the township to establish
the district.
The companies are planning HVAC and heating shop
upgrades and improvements to
the building envelope and
lighting and electrical systems.
The energy savings are expected to be 60 percent or
more annually, said Teresa
Smith, business development
manager for the Port Authority.
The ESID is structured
similar to a lighting district
with the Lucas County auditor’s office assessing parcels
of participating businesses
through property taxes.
There is no cost to the
township, Ms. Kohli said.
“The only obligation we
would have is to appoint
somebody to attend quarterly
board of director meetings of
the ESID.”
Jurisdictions that are currently ESID members are
Maumee, Oregon and Toledo.
“Sylvania Township is in the
process of joining,” she added.
“It does seem like a great
opportunity within our township to have this available,”
said Mr. Bethel.
Mr. Glenn agreed, “I think
it’s just another option to benefit businesses in the township.”
“I bet it could catch on,”
added Trustee Marylin Yoder.
“I’m not sure many [businesses] know about it.”
Other Business
In other business, the
trustees:
•Discussed a petition to run
a sanitary sewer line on Medbury Road from Hill Avenue
to Hancock Road.
The township owns one of
three parcels along Medbury,
and Doug Parrish, of the Lucas
County engineer’s office, suggested that the township share
the cost of the right of way on
the remaining parcels with the
sanitary engineer’s office.
“If it costs money, we can’t
afford it,” said Mrs. Yoder.
Mr. Glenn agreed, “We are
willing participants as a property owner.”
•Tabled a request by Mike
Hampton, public services director, to submit a road improvement funding request for
2017 to the Ohio Public Works
Commission.
Mr. Glenn said he would
like Spring Meadows West removed from the list and replaced with a different road
since the drive falls into the
joint economic development
zone area.
Other roads Mr. Hampton
is seeking state capital improvement funding for are
Geiser Road, Wolf Creek Executive Park and Hill Avenue.
•Approved the hiring of six
temporary workers through
Express Employment to assist
with leaf collection from October 26 to December 18.
Mr. Hampton said the pay
rate is the same as last year
and will not exceed $20,000.
•Paid bills from September
9 to 21 totaling $75,969,
which includes $18,653 to Hylant Administrative Services
for insurance and $13,197 to
Northwestern Concrete Wall
Company for repairs to one of
the fire stations.
In addition, the trustees approved electronic payments of
$201,837 from September 4 to
17, including the bi-weekly
payroll of $164,436.
•Approved the purchase of
a credit card machine from
Affinity Solutions for $449.
•Entered into executive
session to discuss disputes involving threatened and/or
pending litigation. No decisions were made following the
20-minute session.

Each child at Dorr Elementary displays unique and

For that reason, we are so
thankful that our students
have many ways to express
themselves–through music,
art, physical activity, or technical skills. Each day our students participate in classes
we call “specials.” In many
ways, these classes are special because they allow our
students to share other talents
that they have besides those

Reading Instruction
in the 21st Century
Many individuals have
heard or even use electronic
devices for reading. From an
online newspaper or magazine to a handheld device for
reading books. Whether you
use a Kindle or E-reader, an
iPad, or even your phone, the
technology is a unique way to
acquire information or transport your library of materials.
At Holloway Elementary
School, our Title I reading
teachers Ms. Naufel, Ms.
Myers and Ms. Karpinski are
incorporating
technology
tools with their instruction to
the students in our Title I
reading program.
Title I refers to a federally
funded program which provides support for reading and
math interventions.
Using Apple iPads students, in addition to reading,
are using a variety of “Apps”
(applications) which are
matched to student learning
needs.
The iPads are building
reading skills and allowing the
students to learn how to use
new technology which is leading to increased student moti-
vation. From letter sounds and
formation to creative writing
activities, students are utilizing the technology to improve
their reading.
The use of technology allows the instructor to both engage the learner and to
progress
monitor
their
growth.
Using data to adapt and
modify instruction while
maximizing today’s technology is a win-win scenario.
Fundamental skills are being
presented and married with
electronic devices to better
prepare our learners for the
future.

Hudson Gallery hosting exhibit
of oil paintings by Scott Horn
The Hudson Gallery, 5645
North Main Street, Sylvania, is
presenting a solo exhibition of
more than 30 new oil paintings
by Scott Horn through October
31.
The exhibit is filled with
colorful new works completed
in the past year. Mr. Horn approaches painting as a way of
transferring his subconscious
ideas onto canvas with as little
outside influence as possible.
“Allowing intuition to
guide my hand has led to many
personal insights, unexpected
discoveries and ultimately universal truths,” he said.
In these colorful, energetic
and engaging works, Mr. Horn
continues to harvest inspiration
from both his native Ohio and
travels through differing urban
locals. The exhibit is free and
open to the public during regular gallery hours.

By Sean Maiolo
Following a deflating loss
to Northern Lakes League
frontrunner Perrysburg in
week four, one that left many
wondering ‘what if’ afterwards, the Blue Devils
greatly needed an authoritative rebound to steady their
ship toward postseason goals.
Their opponent for the
NLL
home
opener,
Southview, is normally not
the type of program that
league foes rely upon for a
needed bounce back game.
Springfield (4-1, 1-1) historically is the least of which to
make such a presumption,
having lost a baker’s dozen
to the Cougars dating back to
their last win in 2001.
But that was then and this
is now, and for Springfield it
was a resounding 48-17
thumping of Southview (1-4,
0-2) largely on the legs of
tailback Bryant Koback’s
dominant performance, by far
the best of his budding break-
out season.
The junior ran for 258
yards on just 12 rushes–good
for a jaw-dropping 21.5 yards
per carry– and five total
touchdowns, four on the
ground.
“Running Back High!”
Koback’s position coach John
Willis reiterated once more
after the game.
Willis has long talked up
his prodigy since even before
seven-on-sevens got under
way early in the summer. He
knew a game such as that was
more inevitable rather than
merely possible.
Head Coach Pat Gucciardo agrees.
“Bryant is phenomenal,”
he said. “You can’t take anything away from him on what
he brings to our football team.
He just is something special.”
While the talented tailback
was undoubtedly aware of the
remarkable numbers he accumulated in just three quarters,
he deflected credit away from
himself.
“My line made great holes
and great blocks for me to
read off of and cut and then
just burst into the open and
take off to use some of my
speed,” said Koback. “But I
couldn’t have asked for any
better holes. They did an awesome job.”
“The offensive line was
outstanding tonight,” Gucciardo added. “The offensive
coaching staff made some
great adjustments. I’m really
proud of Coach McAfee and
Coach Willis on some of the
adjustments they made especially at halftime with some
of the counters that we ran
and some of the things that
they were seeing in the box.
“Those halftime adjustments were huge and that
opened up even more stuff for
Bryant even though he had
some good runs in the first
half.”
Perhaps the most impressive – and unlikely – of Ko-
back’s touchdowns came in
that first half less than a
minute after the Cougars cut
the lead to 14-10 midway
through the second quarter.
On second and 10, quarterback Scott Seymour
muffed the shotgun snap with
Koback stationed to his left.
Alertly, Koback scooped up
the loose ball and darted
through a gaping hole in front
of him, one that was there by
design. He then darted toward
the left sideline, breaking
three tackles in the process,
for a 32-yard touchdown.
“It was designed to be a
counter…so I was going to
act like I was running in towards the right and then cut
back to the left,” said Koback.
“But instead the ball was just
there so I just took off.”
The score was the third of
the rushing variety. He also
found pay dirt on runs of 78,
5 and 45 yards and took a
Seymour pass wide open in
the flat for a 38-yard touchdown with less than a minute
to play in the first half.
His receiving touchdown
culminated the Blue Devils’
longest scoring drive of the
game in both time (2:08) and
yards (91) chewed up.
“That was in our plan, and
we just hadn’t gotten to it
yet,” Gucciardo said of the
play. “When you catch man
coverage, you’re going to run
all kinds of rub routes and
crossing stuff and it was one
of the ones that just happened
to be up next on the call sheet.
We knew it was a good call
whether at the beginning or
the end of the game.
“Actually
[seniors]
Johnny Martin and Freddie
Johnson opened that play up.
Scottie threw it, and he took
some heat, took a hit and
Bryant made the catch, but
those two kids set that play
up. They had a perfect rub
route that put him [open] in
the flat.”
Koback’s authoritative
runs helped shadow a slow
and worrisome start from the
offense, Seymour in particular. After turning it over four
times the week prior, the senior twice coughed it up in the
first half, leading to all 10
Southview points against an
otherwise stellar first team
defense.
“Tonight was another
good football team and we
kind of started [poorly], but
our coaches did a nice job of
getting on our kids and redirecting them,” Gucciardo
said. “I was really proud of
our coaching staff in changing the mindset after the couple turnovers we had and I
thought the kids fought back
really well. We put the defense in a couple bad situations and…we gave up the
two scores that mattered, we
gave those up offensively off
the two turnovers.”
The defensive effort was
arguably the best of the season regardless of some adversity. Despite moving senior
Noah Patten from safety to inside linebacker on only 24
hours’ notice to replace stalwart Darrion Duhart, the unit
suffocated the Cougars in
every facet of the game.
Junior Bryan Rogers had
the most impressive game
even though he only played
the first half. The defensive
end single-handedly controlled the line of scrimmage
and finished with a sack and
4.5 tackles for loss totaling 18
yards.
As a team, the Blue Devils
amassed a staggering 15 tackles resulting in a net loss of 59
yards.
Springfield High School volleyball team growing up fast in 2015
By Sean Maiolo
Before the volleyball season started, Head Coach
McKenna Reitz knew quite
well that this year’s squad
faced arguably the toughest
challenge in maintaining the
reputation the program has
built during her six-year
tenure.
While the talent was still
present, many of the finer
points of the game and especially the on-court communication and familiarity with
one another needed refinement.
After wrapping up a second place finish at the
Golden Spikes Invitational–
Springfield’s host tournament–that pushed their
record to 10-5 overall, it’s
safe to say many of those
worries have been resolved.
“It’s been a surprising
season thus far,” Reitz admitted. “We’ve done a lot of
stuff off the court that I think
has made us become better
players on the court. We’ve
done a lot of community
service, a lot of team-bonding aspects so they can become a team off the court.
Once they step on the court,
it doesn’t matter who’s on the
court because they’re comfortable with each other and
play well with each other.”
The Lady Devils now find
themselves in familiar territory, right in the thick of the
Northern Lakes League race
at 6-2 in conference play.
Ironically, both league losses
and the three nonleague defeats all came to schools outside Lucas County, and all
five came in straight sets.
That aside, Reitz said her
team is back in contention
largely thanks to girls solving
communication issues that
seemed to befuddle them in
preseason scrimmages.
“We’re talking a lot
more,” she said. “Because
they become more comfortable and confident within
their positions, that means
that they’re going to commu-
nicate a lot more with players
around them. The biggest
thing was having inexperience on the court and now
that we’ve gotten a lot more
play time underneath, the
people that hadn’t seen the
court a lot before this season
are finally playing their own
game which is helping us.”
That experience has led to
a few players nailing down
crucial spots on the floor in
what were previously big
shoes to fill.
“[Senior] Amanda Poole
has solidified at the libero
position,” Reitz explained.
“She started off a little bit
rocky in the beginning, but
she has really taken the position as her own. Her serve-receive has become very
consistent and her defense
has been unstoppable. She’s
been all over the place not allowing anything to hit the
ground, but she’s really taken
control of the backcourt and
that’s the most important aspect along with serving
well.”
“Setting-wise,”
she
added, “it’s been [senior]
Kate Schroeder and [freshman] Rebecca Brown for the
most part. They’re doing a
great job of running our offense.”
Brown,
Poole
and
Schroeder sport the team’s
highest serve percentages at
93.2, 93 and 90.6 percent, respectively, while tallying
nearly half of the Lady Devils’ service attempts.
Defensively, Reitz has
simplified their game, largely
relying on either Poole or
veteran junior outside hitter
Allie Hale to take care of the
first ball. Poole’s 166 digs
lead the team, while Hale is
second with 112. No other
player has even half the latter’s total.
“We only ever really have
Amanda and Allie serve-receiving all rotation…,” she
said, “so they’re just becoming much more comfortable
because they’re touching a
lot more volleyballs and people know that it’s just those
two so there’s no more miscommunication errors which
helps.”
The defensive responsibilities have hardly slowed
Hale down on offense,
though.
“Allie always has confidence,” said Reitz. “She’s
had one bad match all season.
She’s just a go-getter.”
With just four regular season matches remaining, Reitz
and the Lady Devils may
very well have all the necessary pieces in place and
clicking to hang another NLL
banner inside the fieldhouse.
“We’re much further
along than I thought we were
going to be, but we’re just
keeping the same [expectations],” Reitz said. “We’re
not changing everything;
we’re going to keep going at
the pace we’re at and we’re
really pleased with what’s
been the outcome so far.
Hopefully it continues on.”

needs are met.

colleagues Alyssa Bauer,

the Maplewood cafeteria her
home, ensuring that all students learn the etiquette and

proper eating habits.
Volunteers are part of the
backbone that make Sylvania
Schools and serving as ambassadors parent Kate Fineske

LaRue can be seen daily on
the corner near Maplewood as
a crossing guard, helping children safely make the trek

Springfield Middle School News
Jeff Pendry,
Principal
Nurse Bouillon
On Wednesday, September
30, Becky Bouillon, MSN,
RN, with Promedica, spoke to
Miss Holden’s seventh grade
careers class about all that is
involved when considering a
career in nursing.
Imagine this–Mrs. Bouillon has 38 years in the nursing and health care. She was
a licensed practical nurse
(LPN) for 13 years. While
married and raising two
daughters, she worked and
continued her education,
eventually culminating with a
master’s degree from Lourdes
College. Our students learned
a great lesson in perseverance
from her presentation.
Mrs. Bouillon taught SMS
students what it takes to be a
nurse–beyond the medical
and technical training. She
said, “In nursing, you use
your heart, hands and head.”
She spoke about the compassion it takes when dealing
with families of very sick
people, as well as the joy of
new parents in obstetrics. She
also emphasized that students
can work in nursing with only
one year of school (as an
LPN) and then continue on in
their education to attain additional degrees–just like she
did.
Mrs. Bouillon shared the
Becky Bouillon
need for male nurses and emphasized that it is not just a
career for women. She shared
that job market statistics show
that by 2020, the United
States will have a shortage of
up to one million nurses in the
nation.
The students were very engaged and asked excellent
questions. One student asked,
“What is the saddest thing
you’ve seen as a nurse?”
While another wanted to
know, “Was the training to
hard and did you ever want to
do something different…and
have you ever been scared?”
Mrs. Bouillon addressed all of
the students’ questions.
To be commended are students Rylie Christy and Katelynn Williams, who greeted
Mrs. Bouillon in the office
and escorted her to the classroom. Brooke Wagner made
sure our guest found her way
back to the main entrance and
thanked her again for coming.

PET OF THE WEEK
LADY
Meet Lady. This 5year-old miniature pinscher is black and tan,
more like a miniature
Doberman. Lady started
out at another local rescue
group, but ended up at the
humane society to help
her find her forever home.
Lady is a fast little girl
who loves to play, but
does not bark much, so
her new family won’t
have to worry about that.
Her dream date would be an afternoon at the park, where she
can snuggle with her new family in the hot sun chewing on
a tasty bone. Want to see why staff and volunteers adore
little Lady? Stop by the shelter and meet her today. Lady is
spayed, up to date on her vaccinations and is microchipped.
For more information, visit the Toledo Area Humane Society,
827 Illinois Avenue, Maumee or call 419-891-0705.

Student Leaders
Springfield High School
is filled with opportunities
for students. This week’s column brings attention to two
of those opportunities.
First, I will share an update on the students appointed to the Springfield
Local School Board of Education as non-voting members and then provide details
from the recent JROTC promotion ceremony.
We are very proud of our
students and those who stepup to accept leadership
roles–good job.
Board of Education
Student Liaisons
Here is an update for
those who read about Springfield Board of Education’s
efforts to better involve SHS
students in district “operations.” I wrote in September
that to expose our school
leaders to the complex responsibilities shared by
members of a Board of Education and to elicit a student
voice/opinion on policy matters that directly impact
them– whether academic, cocurricular, or such topics as
proposed changes in their
dress code, the role of “Student Liaison” to the Board of
Education
was
being
changed from an automatic
“assignment” given to the
Springfield High School News
student government president and/or National Honor
Society president.
This year, the process was
changed, and students were
invited to apply for the position.
The reason was to offer
students the chance to pursue
an opportunity for leadership
that was before not available.
Plus, the district wants and
needs input from those who
have the most to gain from
the actions taken by the
Board of Education.
After completing the application and interview
processes, at the September
23 board of education general meeting,
senior
Cameron Vaughn and junior
Abigail Yeager were confirmed as this year’s Springfield Board of Education
liaisons.
JROTC Promotion
Ceremony
In late September, SHS
officially welcomed Lt.
Colonel Chris Fournier, who
this year succeeded Colonel
Coomler as leader of our nationally celebrated JROTC.
On September 17, he and 1st
Sgt. Rickey Thomas helped
recognize the new Battalion
Cadet leadership and brought
attention to those cadets who
distinguished
themselves
through participation in Officer Candidates School or the
Primary Leadership Course.

From the desk of
Dr. Michael O’Shea,
Superintendent of Springfield Schools
Student and Staff Safety
Much information is
shared in district communication vehicles–this column,
our newsletters and all available media about Springfield’s
commitment
to
providing an exceptional education for today’s learners
and tomorrow’s leaders. This
is our mission and we take it
very seriously. Our community does, too, and expects
that the rigor of both our
K-12 curriculum and instructional practices will challenge and support the efforts
of each student to succeed.
Less visible but of equal
importance to us are efforts
to ensure that the education
delivered to our students
takes place in an environment
that is, to the best of our ability, free of the risk of danger
and harm. To accomplish
this, we must prepare for situations that we hope and pray
will never take place in our
(or any other) schools.
Springfield leaders appreciate the support provided to
the district by law enforcement, crisis management and
emergency response professionals who assist each year
as we revisit the plans and
procedures in place should an
emergency occur in or near
our schools.
Like our students, we
learn, review, practice (and
revise when needed) what to
do–and what not to do.
Through the regular practice
of fire drills and tornado
drills, we involve students
and can assuage their fears.
Other situations are less easy
to practice–that is why the
district updated our Emergency Procedures Guides,
similar to those distributed a
few years ago throughout the
greater-Springfield area, and
placed copies in all district
offices and classrooms.
These guides offer a systemic, organized approach to
managing a variety of emergency situations.

Christian historian, author
to present ‘Transform
Toledo for Christ’ Oct. 24
The public is invited to
hear biblical and historical
insights from Dr. Mark
Beliles, co-author of “America’s Providential History,”
on Saturday, October 24.
The event will be 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m. at the Maumee
Branch Library.
Dr. Beliles is the founder
of the America Transformation Company, the Providence Foundation and its
Biblical Worldview University.
In 1620, the Plymouth
Company sent the Pilgrims
who built a new nation, and
he believes that 400 years
later a new “company” of
Godly leaders is emerging to
transform politics, business,
education, medicine, media,
church and family.
“America today is facing
five main problem areas that
the church must address
more effectively: sins/
demons,
ignorance/error,
corruption/ poverty, injustice/tyranny, and disease/division,” he explained.
“Progress in addressing
each of these are true signs
of success in Jesus’ command to disciple nations.”
Dr. Beliles is the co-au-
Dr. Mark Beliles
thor of “America’s Providential History,” which explains
how many historians consider the Bible America’s
founding document.
It discusses how God’s
presence was evident at the
nation’s founding in the men
who fought for independence
and shaped the Constitution.
The cost to attend the
presentation is $15 per person or $25 per couple, which
includes lunch.
For reservations, call 419215-1310 or send an email to
