YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER HollandSpringfield Established 2003 VOLUME 14, NUMBER 28 –JULY 12, 2016 ©WELCH PUBLISHING CO. www.hollandsfj.us HOLLAND, LUCAS COUNTY, OHIO Please Recycle This Newspaper $25.00 per year Holland Pickleball Club collects items for Victory Center On July 6, members of the Holland Pickleball Club hosted the second annual paper products drive to benefit the Victory Center. The group loaded picnic tables at Strawberry Acres Park in Holland with paper towels, toilet paper, plastic drink cups, trash bags, copier paper, tissues and other items. The mission of the Victory Center, 5532 West Central Avenue, Toledo, is to provide hope and support to cancer patients, survivors and families. The 320 plus club members wanted to provide items to meet the center’s everyday needs so that it could concentrate on wellness needs of patients. Pickleball members meet at the park every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. where they enjoy a friendly competition. Holland Mayor Mike Yunker, an avid pickleball player, said people come from all over to play at the six public courts. “Last week we had a group from Minnesota who were passing through the area and stayed for several days to play on the courts,” he said, adding, We’ve had people from Arizona and Florida who come to the courts and play when they are here.” The mayor said the courts are popular with players, many of whom are seniors, in part because they are situated under large shade trees unlike most fields of play. He encourages area residents to visit the park, noting that in addition to pickleball, the park offers bocce ball courts, and Holland residents can borrow game equipment from the village office. Gypsy moths back in Holland David Moore appointed battalion chief By Jane Maiolo Springfield Township has appointed a battalion chief. At the July 5 meeting, the trustees accepted Fire Chief Barry Cousino’s recommendation to appoint 21-year veteran David Moore as battalion chief of fire prevention and operations. “We are happy to accept the promotion recommendation effective July 1, said Trustee Bob Bethel. Chief Cousino said battalion chief was created after re- Red Cross issues call to blood donors The American Red Cross has issued an emergency call for blood and platelets, urging all eligible donors to give now to replenish an extremely low summer blood supply. Blood donations have fallen short of hospital needs for the past few months, resulting in about 39,000 fewer donations than what’s needed, as well as a significant draw down of the overall Red Cross blood supply. In addition, the Independence Day holiday may have caused many regular donors to postpone donations due to vacation plans. Donors with all blood types are needed. To schedule an appointment to donate, use the free Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-733-2767. Gypsy moths are back at Strawberry Acres Park in Holland prompting Mayor Mike Yunker to take action. The mayor met recently with Amy Stone, director of OSU Extension-Lucas County Agriculture and Natural Resources. “Last week Amy met me in the park to verify the presence of gypsy moths. The caterpillars were observed as they were falling all over the pickleball courts, creating a mess,” he said, adding that most of the park trees show evidence of the Journal readers are everywhere See GYPSY page 2Á Fire Chief Barry Cousino, left, congratulates David Moore, who was appointed battalion chief. viewing the department’s structure. The position replaces that of fire prevention captain and is a retitle, he explained. Battalion Chief Moore will receive a salary of $28.84 per hour. Cellular Tower Zoning inspector Jacob Barnes provided the trustees with an update on a proposed cell phone tower at 2100 South Holland-Sylvania Road. Mr. Barnes said he has not heard from Verizon, but residents continue to call, expressing their concern about the tower’s proposed location. “Since our letter to Verizon enacting the Ohio Revised Code regarding the process for the cell tower, we have not heard anything from them,” added administrator Leslie Kohli. “They have not attempted to get a permit from the township nor the county and do not appear to be trying to build it without a permit.” Several months ago the trustees sent Verizon a certified letter advising the company that they may not have been in compliance with statutory obligations under the Ohio Revised Code. Other Business In other business, the trustees: •Set a public hearing for 7 p.m., Monday, August 1 on a zoning change request for 1403 Kieswetter Road. Owners Robert and Antoinette Trumbull are seeking to rezone their lot from M1/M3 industrial to RA3 large lot residential. A single family home sits on the acreage, and the land use plan calls for residential in that area, explained Mr. Barnes. •Reviewed the zoning permit summary for June. The department issued 27 permits and collected fees of $1,460. Included in the permits were five for new dwellings. “That’s good to see,” Mr. Barnes said. The report also included approval of a preliminary site plan for a new Dollar General at 9128 Airport Highway. •Discussed the recent fireworks display. Mr. Glenn noted that the display went off without a hitch, but said he would like to see the display go back to being held on the last Saturday before July 4, which is when they were held the previous year. See MOORE page 2Á From there to here, from here to there, Journal readers are everywhere. The staff invites readers to submit photos of themselves or others reading the paper wherever they may travel, whether it is Tennessee or Turkey. Michael and Sandi Grohnke of Toledo traveled to Alaska for 10 days in June. “We went on a three-day land tour starting in Fairbanks and ending with a five-hour train ride to Whittier,” Mr. Grohnke said. From Whittier, the couple boarded the Island Princess for a seven-day glacier cruise, that ended in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Above, the couple stand at the entrance of Mt.

Devils’ depth chart taking shape in summer contests Page 6 — July 12, 2016 — HOLLLAND–SPRINGFIELD JOURNAL By Sean Maiolo In the midst of a rather sweltering summer to date, it might come as a mild surprise that the high school football season kicks off in less than eight weeks. Head Coach Pat Gucciardo’s squad, however, are anything but caught off guard as they are in the midst of what he and his staff hope to be a third consecutive offseason of undefeated seven-on-seven competitions against a host of neighboring programs. Through the team’s first three scrimmages, they’ve tallied 76 touchdowns while surrendering only about a quarter of that on the defensive side. The defense has surrendered completions on only 42 percent of pass attempts against them and has intercepted 19 throws. Those gaudy numbers come despite Gucciardo breaking in better than half a dozen new starters at the skill positions on offense and throughout the secondary. Of course, breaking in new receivers on offense is something which the head coach is quite comfortable doing. “We’re real familiar with rebuilding that group and preparing them the previous year and getting them ready for Friday nights,” said Gucciardo. “The good thing that I’m really excited about is the kids that have stepped to the front right now are juniors. So they’re potentially going to be two-year starters which would be the first time I’ve ever had three receivers return as starters.” Departing from last year’s group most notably is D’Andre Hicks who spent the better part of 2015 shattering just about every school receiving record. Behind him last year was now-senior Lamar Witcher, who showed promise when allotted his opportunities. However, Witcher also started at corner last year and is the only returning starter in the secondary. His stout play on that side of the ball–and Gucciardo’s preference to have 11 different starters on both offense and defense– has opened things up for the junior class of wideouts thus far. Those juniors–LaKeith Jackson, Chris Pasker and Adam Beale–have the staff feeling confident once again in Pizza Palooza to be held July 22, 23 at Centennial Terrace The Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce will host the sixth annual Pizza Palooza on Friday, July 22 and Saturday, July 23 at Centennial Terrace, 5773 Centennial Road, Sylvania. Pizza Palooza hours are Friday, 5 to 11:30 p.m., and Saturday, 4 to 11:30 p.m. Presented by Bobby Jorgensen’s Kistler Ford, Pizza Palooza will feature 10 restaurants vying for the best pizza title in northwest Ohio. Participating are Amie’s Pizza, Bambino’s Pizza, Charlie’s Pizza, J-Cups Pizza, Jet’s Pizza, Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria, Mama Mary’s, Pizza Papalis of Toledo, PizzAroma and Vito’s Pizza. About 12,000 visitors are expected to attend and will vote for their favorite restaurant. Awards will be presented in two categories–people’s choice and judge’s choice. For the second year, voting will be done using a voting app created by chamber member Don Miller of GroundSpeed. Attendees can vote via the app which can be downloaded to their mobile device by searching Sylvania Chamber in the app store or through a polling station on the premises. In addition to pizza, there will be a caricature artist to create portraits for visitors plus musical entertainment. The schedule of performers is: •Friday–5 to 7 p.m., Arctic Clam; 7 to 9 p.m., Grape Smugglers, and 9 to 11 p.m., Last Born Sons. •Saturday–5 to 7 p.m., Boffo; 7 to 9 p.m., Eight Fifteens and 9 to 11 p.m., Fuji featuring the Booyah!

Not only did Seymour leave his indelible mark in Springfield’s football annals, he also provided three years of stability at the most important position on the field, a rarity in high school football. Stepping up in his place is sophomore A.J. Gucciardo. He saw mop-up duty in a handful of games last year as a freshman and while putting in a very strong season leading the junior varsity team on Saturday. The coach has been pleased with what his son has shown on the field early in the summer. “He does a very good job of reading coverages,” said the elder Gucciardo. “For a young quarterback, he understands all the different things about how defensive rotations are going, how to read corner presses and things like that. And he does a good job of finding his checkdown receiver.” It’s also helped that, with his dad’s and grandfather’s combined coaching experience, A.J. has lived football for much of his young life. “He’s extremely intelligent in the classroom and on the field,” the coach added. “He makes good decisions, and that’s something that he’s kind of grown up with in that position and he’s known our offense for such a long time. I’ve been fortunate to start three sophomore [quarterbacks] in my days at Start and with Scottie here and we’ve been very productive with those athletes.” The offense is not entirely full of new faces, though, with the Blue Devils returning allOhio tailback Bryant Koback. Gucciardo and running backs coach John Willis have used the summer workouts to add some new wrinkles for their most lethal weapon to employ come fall. “We’ve actually put a package in for him at receiver as well, just to see how people respond to it out on the field in seven-on-sevens,” Gucciardo said. “We’re really excited about the different things we can do with him just to get him in space another way other than at tailback. The quick passing game and even the vertical passing game, that’s exciting for us to experiment with things like that because he’s so versatile.” Defensively, positions also are taking shape with the aforementioned Witcher moving to safety. Gucciardo said at least one corner spot is showing much promise despite the only returning starter switching positions. “[Senior] Bryant Jackson at corner, he’s really doing a nice job,” he said. “If I remember right, [defensive coordinator] Jim [Eberly] said he’s only had one pass completed on his side the entire three scrimmages. Probably on average you’re looking at 70-75 defensive snaps and to only have given up one catch, that’s pretty good. “So I’m really happy with Bryant Jackson, and that secondary is really coming together.” The final starting roster is still of course many weeks from being set, but as the skill scrimmages continue, things will piece together more and more as the Blue Devils look to repeat their historic on-field success of last season. “People stand out [in seven-on-sevens] whether it’s at receiver or at defensive back,” said Gucciardo. “You weren’t aware maybe that that kid could make that play. Or you’re looking forward to a kid that we’re really excited about and then he doesn’t do what you expected. “You might not necessarily win and lose jobs, but you can move around on the depth chart daily.” Holland chamber plans 26th annual golf outing The Holland Springfield Chamber of Commerce will host its 26th annual golf outing on August 15, at Stone Oak Country Club, 100 Stone Oak Boulevard, Holland.

Page 8 — July 12, 2015 — HOLLAND-SPRINGFIELD JOURNAL Highway Patrol reports 12 fatalities during holiday The Ohio State Highway Patrol is reporting that 12 people lost their lives in a total of 11 traffic crashes during the July Fourth holiday weekend. The reporting period began Friday, July 1 and ended Monday, July 4. Impairment was proven to be a factor in four of those crashes. Troopers made 673 arrests for impaired driving and 325 for drug-related charges. The Patrol responded to 655 crashes and made more than 45,000 traffic contacts in total, which included assisting more than 3,900 motorists. “When someone chooses to drive after a night of drinking, the consequences can be deadly,” said Colonel Paul A. Pride, Patrol superintendent. “That’s why troopers make OVI enforcement a priority, whether they’re patrolling during a long holiday weekend or any other night. Motorists should be smart and always plan a sober way home.” During last year’s Fourth of July reporting period from July 2 to 5, a total of eight Registration is under way for the Safety Town summer children’s program, sponsored by the Springfield Township Fire Department and Holland Police Department.

Holland police personnel also will teach students safety rules using props and the miniature Safety Town and sidewalks. Township and village residents will be placed in the program on a firstcome, first-served basis. Children are permitted to attend the program only once. Applications are available at the local elementary schools, fire stations, township hall and village police department or online at www.holland ohio.com.
