Sylvania Chamber
announces Taking
it to the Streets event
Taking it to the Streets
Downtown Sylvania, the
family friendly street festival
sponsored by the Sylvania
Area Chamber of Commerce
and the Sylvania Downtown
Business Association will
be hosted on Main Street in
Sylvania on Thursday, July
14. The event will be from
5 p.m. 9 p.m. This years
theme is Taking it to the
Streets Bastille Day.
The Sylvania Area Cham-
ber has hosted a Taking it to
the Streets Downtown festi-
val for the last four years in
conjunction with the Jamie
Farr Classic in July. This
year, the Farr has taken a
hiatus because of the Senior
Open and the chamber want-
ed to continue the momen-
tum of the event since there
are 3,000 people who attend
yearly.
The event is held on Main
Street, which is closed from
Erie to Monroe Streets. There
is a huge car show, entertain-
ment from Skoobie Snacks,
childrens activities, refresh-
ments and -- new this year
-- a Bastille Day Celebrity
Waiter Race.
The Show and Shine car
show features about 100 ve-
hicles that will be on display
on Main Street and a peoples
choice and best of show tro-
phy will be awarded.
Additionally, this year
there is a very special event
within the festival. In France
and many other countries,
there are waiters races that
are held yearly.
To celebrate July 14 and
the French roots of Bastille
Day, the Chamber is introduc-
ing a celebrity waiters race at
Taking It to The Streets.
Mike Fletcher from TREO
will design a race course and
restaurants, celebrity runners
and corporate representatives
will participate in a team of
three.
Each team will be re-
sponsible for carrying a tray
with a martini glass around
an obstacle course. Trophies
will be awarded to the top
three placers in the event as
well as the bragging right in
Northwest Ohio for the best
wait team.
The race will be during
Taking it to the Streets --
July 14 in downtown Sylva-
nia and will be held at 7 p.m.
Each restaurant will have a
pit area on Maplewood
Street where the race will
be held and the event is ex-
pected to last about an hour.
Since space is at a premium
at the event, the feld is lim-
ited to the frst twelve teams
who want to participate this
frst year.
The Sponsors of Taking
it to the Street are Kingston-
Sylvania, KeyBank, Vin De-
vers Auto Haus in Sylvania,
Toledo Lasik, AccuShred,
Ace American Cellular,
the Toledo Blade and 93.5
WRQN.

Fathers Day happened
this past weekend, and, no
doubt, thousands of sons and
daughters delivered millions
of golf balls and ties and
funny T-shirts to their dads.
Those dads did BBQ duty,
maybe allowed themselves
to be waited on, and probably
heard professions of love and
gratitude.
My original plan for this
piece was to interview people
to see how they celebrated
Fathers Day with their dads.
But, the answers I got were
all the same, with mention of
family dinners, shared sport-
ing events, and the obligatory
phone calls. I wondered if
those of us who have lost our
dads might offer something
different, but equally impor-
tant.
My own father, Pug Reyn-
olds, died seven years ago,
after a brief stay in the hos-
pital. He had undergone sur-
gery for a dime-sized spot of
lung cancer. The cancer was
successfully removed, but
there were complications.
The pneumonia that nearly
killed him as a young child
had left all kinds of damage
on his lungs. The incision of
the most recent surgery never
healed, and a systemic infec-
tion ended his life quite unex-
pectedly, just a month short
of his 54th Fathers Day.
So, instead of talking with
him this yearabout the
books he thought we should
be reading, or the politicians
he thought we should be ig-
noring, or the money we
should be saving, my siblings
and I were talking about him.
We found, as I suspect most
surviving children do, that
Fathers Day gifts from all
the years have more to do
with what our dads give us
than any gift of any size we
ever gave them.
My dad was a regular guy,
like most dads. He wore the
golf shirts and the ties we
bought him, and rescued us
from non-functioning cars
and fnancial calamities. He
cheered our efforts at sports,
lettered our history proj-
ect display boards, drove us
where we needed to go, gave
advice (sometimes unsolic-
ited), and tried (a little) to un-
derstand why we liked rock
music.

The Sylvania City Coun-
cil met in a special session
on Monday, June 13 at 8 a.m.
to discuss flling the upcom-
ing vacancy for the Public
Service Director position
currently being held by Jef-
fery Ballmer. Mayor Craig A.
Stough said Ballmer would
be stepping down at the end
of the month.
Filling the vacancy, how-
ever, proved to be no easy
task. As it turned out, after
the city placed an ad in the
Sylvania Herald, 45 resumes
funneled in.
We got a really strong
response, Stough said. I
thought we would get a good
response, but we got a really
strong response.
After the resumes were
received, City Treasurer and
Director of Personnel George
Eichenauer narrowed the
45 candidates down to six.
Most of the six had public
engineering experience some
time in their past. Two weeks
ago, Eichenauer and Director
Aller named
new director
of Public
Service

Mom and Daughter explore Paris
By Christine A. Holliday
Herald Writer
Carol Lindsley received a
Mothers Day gift this year
that she will never forget. She
was enjoying the day with
two of her three sons, both of
whom live in Sylvania, when
she received a phone call
from her daughter, Callie,
who lives and works in New
York City. I knew she was
calling to wish me Happy
Mothers Day, Carol recalls,
and I was glad to hear from
her because I knew she was
traveling overseas later that
week, and I wouldnt be able
to talk to her for a while.
Callie works for American
Eagle Outftters as a Designer
of Womens Visual Concept
and Brand Development, and
travels often to study fashion
trends in Europe and other
places. On previous trips,
she always traveled with a
boss or a colleague, but this
would be her frst solo trip,
and her mom was concerned
about her safety. Callie was
calling to offer Mothers Day
wishes, but she had an ulte-
rior motive, one that her mom
couldnt have guessed.
Lindsley says, I joked
with her, saying Are you
calling to invite me to travel
with you? and I was fab-
bergasted when she told me,
Yes, I am looking at the air-
lines web page and there are
two seats left on a fight that
arrives in Paris one hour be-
fore mine. Can you go?
I said, Yes, after doing
a quick assessment of what I
would have to do to prepare.
I contacted my principal and
teacher aide at St. Joseph
School and wrote lesson
plans for the days I would
be gone. Then I packed the
smallest rolling suitcase I
could fnd and a backpack,
made sure my tennis shoes
Callie Lindsleys Fashion Design degree from the Uni-
versity of Cincinnati paid off when she and her mother
took the buying trip to Paris to shop.

Lourdes Colleges Appold
Planetarium will celebrate its
5-Year Anniversary June 29
The staff of Lourdes Colleges Appold
Planetarium is planning a 5-Year Anniversary
event from 5:30 p.m. - 7 p.m. Wednesday,
June 29, in the Mother Adelaide Hall at the
Planetarium on the campus of Lourdes Col-
lege.
Lourdes foundress Mother Adelaide San-
dusky had a great love of astronomy and in
1968 opened one of Ohios first planetariums.
Named in honor of Renaissance astronomer
Nicolaus Copernicus, Lourdes Copernicus
Planetarium delighted audiences for more
than 30 years.
In 2006, Lourdes reopened the plan-
etarium, naming it the Appold Planetarium
in honor of its generous benefactors Jim and
Patricia Appold. The Appolds support gave
Lourdes the ability to make the planetarium
better than ever. The College refurbished the
interior and upgraded its software to SciDome
- the worlds most comprehensive astronomy
software allowing shows to be presented in
full color, real-time, 3D sky simulation.
Today, Lourdes Appold Planetarium has
grown to become one of the most beloved
planetariums in the Midwest, with shows that
are routinely sold out. For its excellence and
popularity, Ohio Magazine named the Appold
Planetarium Best Place to See the Stars.
On June 29, the community will gather to
celebrate the 5th anniversary of the re-open-
ing of Lourdes Planetarium in a special invi-
tation-only event, followed by a planetarium
show designed specifically for the celebration
by Laura Megeath, Planetarium Coordinator.

were comfortable for lots of
walking, and looked forward
to my frst trip to Europe.
Mom and daughter met
up at Charles de Gaulle
Airport on Thursday morn-
ing. They enjoyed a quick
lunch, and then spent the
rest of that frst day and the
rest of the 4-day weekend
doing what most moms and
daughters love to do: shop.
We shopped for six or sev-
en hours every day, Carol
explains, in the stores that
she had determined had the
items she wanted to see.
Most days saw us with six
or seven shopping bags
each as she picked items
that would provide informa-
tion to American Eagle for
summer 2012 clothes. She
had no meetings to attend;
it was just shopping and eat-
ing, and we had a blast!
Among Carols best
memories are of her frst
French crepe (banana and
chocolate), wine for lunch,
and the feeling of being
in another world as they
walked the small streets of
Paris. She found the people
to be very friendly and the
architecture to be memo-
rable, noting, Even the
windows in our hotel bath-
room were big and beauti-
ful. They visited the Eiffel
Tower on Friday evening
as the sun was setting, and
were there when a 10:00
p.m. light show began. The
video she took is one she
will no doubt share with her
third graders in the fall.
A side beneft of her trip
was recognition of the work
that goes on in the fashion
business. Callie goes to
youth-oriented music festi-
vals during the year, such as
Coachella in Palm Springs,
and Roskilde in Copenha-
gen, Denmark, to see what
girls are wearing. She takes
pictures of them and inter-
views them. They study run-
way reports, and do all kinds
of research. I had no idea!
And I also didnt realize
how easy it was to pick out
the tourists. I was the only
person around wearing ten-
nis shoes and boot cut jeans.
I was comfortable, but not
cool. The French women
had such chic clothing!
Carol Lindsley didnt
buy any of the chic fashions
she saw in Paris, choosing
instead to buy small souve-
nirs of her trip overseas. She
did come back with plenty
of photographs and a life-
time of memories of shar-
ing a great vacation with her
daughter. It was the perfect
Mothers Day gift, she
says, eating, shopping, and
sightseeing. I couldnt have
asked for anything better!

he shouldnt, ate too much ice cream,
nagged more than we thought was nec-
essary, and was quite impatient when his
kids were lazy. He didnt protest when
we teased him about his baggy shorts and
his balding head and the way he talked to
the dog. He defended his buying a case of
ketchup or a gross of light bulbs, but nev-
er bragged about caring for his bachelor
uncles and his parents and my mothers
maiden aunt. He was proud to voice his
rules about picking up after ourselves and
getting our work done, and didnt often
say aloud that he loved us and did what he
did for our beneft. He was a regular dad,
all right, but what he gave us was not at
all regular.
He gave us the gift of self-discipline, so
we could fnish college and have careers
as successful adults. All fve of us have
at least one degree and careers that allow
us to support our own families. Thanks,
dad!
He gave us was a lifetime of encour-
agement to read as much as we could, to
travel to see the world, to talk and to listen
to people wiser than us. Were all book
lovers, and weve all traveled overseas,
with dreams of continuing to do more of
both in the future. Thanks, dad!
He gave us reasons to laugh and enjoy
the lives we are living. Its the gift that led,
among many other things, to my brothers
participation in pig wrestling, and my sis-
ters decision to name her dog after a for-
mer First Lady. Thanks, dad!
There were no ties or golf balls or his-
tory book gifts for my dad (and lots of
other dads) this year. Like many fami-
lies, we grilled without the head cook, the
guy we called MOCD (Mean Old Crabby
Dad), but not without hundreds of memo-
ries of earlier cookouts and vacations and
family suppers. He wasnt there to lead
the party, but he was certainly the reason
for the party.
He would have been proud that we
ate everything we put on our plates and
remembered to clean up after ourselves
without being told! Thanks, dad!
of Law James Moan con-
ducted interviews with the
six.
They relayed to me that
all of the candidates were
very qualifed, Stough
said. But one stood out.
That one was Kevin
Aller. Stough called him
a very good ft for Syl-
vania.
Its a very important of-
fce to the city of Sylvania,
Stough said of the Public
Service Director. He (the
director) is not just the city
surveyor or the city engi-
neer, he also administers
divisions like the road de-
partment, water, sewer, and
zoning. And we had to look
very hard to fnd qualifed
candidates. And obviously
Mr. Ballmers shoes are
going to be very hard to
fll.
He went on to add that
although being an engineer
was a defnite boon to be-
ing the right type of person
to fll the position, the right
person must also be able
to handle public relations,
reports, and supervising a
multitude of employees.
According to Ballmer,
Aller would be overseeing
nearly 60 people.
Aller comes from the
Lucas County Sanitary
Sewer Engineers Of-
fce. Oddly, this is where
Ballmer held a job before
becoming the Public Ser-
vice Director. Allers back-
ground also includes gov-
ernment management and
administration.
Stough noted there
would be an overlap when
Aller starts and Ballmer
retires. Since the Construc-
tion Supervisor position is
currently vacant, Aller will
come in at that title from
June 27 through 30, mov-
ing into the Service Direc-
tors job on Friday, July 1.
I can tell you when I
met him, Stough said to
the city council, he (Aller)
just feels like the right ft.
Jeffs position is an im-
portant one, council mem-
ber Doug Haynam said. I
dont know Kevin, but he
certainly looks on paper
like a very good candi-
date. Haynam added that
the process to fnd Aller
was extensive and ap-
propriate and that he was
very comfortable with
the decision.
Council President Todd
Milner said Mark Luetke,
who was absent at the time
of the meeting because
he was on vacation, was
aware of Aller being rec-
ommended to the position
and approved of it.
Eichenauer said later on
in the meeting Aller would
be at the city councils reg-
ular meeting on Monday,
June 20 to formally intro-
duce himself to the council
members and to the citizens
of the area.
Stough then turned the
recommendation of Aller
to the directors position
over to the city council for
approval. Milner made a
motion to confrm Aller to
the position, with council
member Mary Westphal
seconding. The council
then unanimously ap-
proved the motion.
After the motion was ap-
proved, the mayor thanked
the council and the meeting
was adjourned at 8:15 a.m.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS TORCH RUN
SYLVANIA FIREFIGHTERS BREAKFAST
Several members of Sylvania area Law Enforcement Agencies participated in the
June 14 Special Olympics Torch Run .
Sylvania city and town-
ship law enforcement offi-
cers raised awareness, funds
for Special Olympics Sum-
mer Games
There were cheers and
the sound of running feet
as several Sylvania city and
township law enforcement
officers carried the Flame
of Hope and stopped at the
Sylvania Kroger stores on
their way to Ohio Stadium
at The Ohio State University
to open the Special Olym-
pics Summer Games. The
officers visited the stores at
6235 Monroe St. and at 7545
Sylvania Ave. as the Torch
Run kicked off on June 14.
Kroger is the Presenting
Sponsor for the Torch Run,
which is in its 25th year
and generates awareness of
and raises funds for Special
Olympics Ohio. The run
continues through June 24
when participating officers
will meet at the State High-
way Patrol Academy in Co-
lumbus to travel together the
final three miles to Ohio Sta-
dium for the Summer Games
Opening Ceremonies.
The Torch Run has be-
come a tradition in Ohio with
officers paying tribute to the
Special Olympics athletes
and their accomplishments
and determination, said
Bruce Macaulay, president,
The Kroger Co., Columbus
Division. This year, more
than two thousand officers
are running or biking in the
six main arteries and satel-
lite community runs that cel-
ebrate the Summer Games.
Officers representing
every facet of law enforce-
ment will carry the Flame
of Hope through more than
150 communities, with the
effort representing the larg-
est grass roots fundraiser
for Special Olympics Ohio.
Main routes for the Torch
Run originate in Athens,
Ashtabula, Cleveland, Cin-
cinnati, Marietta and Toledo
as officers run and bike to-
ward Columbus and Open-
ing Ceremonies.
The Kroger Co. has
served as the Presenting
Sponsor for the Torch Run
for the last five years. Par-
ticipating officers will visit
Kroger stores throughout
the state in hopes of surpass-
ing the more than $400,000
raised for Ohio Special
Olympics last year. Officers
fundraising efforts are year-
round and include events
such as Polar Bear Plunges,
Building Sits and Plane
Pulls.
Ohio Special Olym-
pics Summer Games will
attract more than 2,700 ath-
letes competing in 11 sports:
Aquatics, Track & Field,
Bocce. Bowling, Cycling,
Gymnastics, Power Lifting,
Roller Skating, Soccer, Ten-
nis and Volleyball.

COMMUNITY LIFE
Every now and then, I
read of some wacky old law
still on the books in a bus-
tling city. Like It is illegal
to walk your pig across a
bridge on Sunday. That got
me thinking about whether
our city has such ordinances
still laying around in dusty
old record books.
So I checked the archives
at the Sylvania Area Histori-
cal Society, and was reward-
ed with quite a few creative
old laws.
In 1919, Sylvania citi-
zens presented a petition to
the Mayor and Council to
repeal the ban on parking of
vehicles on both sides of the
street between Blank (now
Maplewood) and Monroe
Streets. They were seeking
safety to person and prop-
erty, to save innocent parties
from arrest and expense, and
to gain good will of the pub-
lic and strangers.
1936 shows an ordinance
regulating the use of bil-
liard and pool tables, 9 and
10 pin alleys. They couldnt
be played between 1 and 7
pm, or before 1 pm on Sun-
day. This did not affect those
tables or alleys in peoples
homes. Violators would pay
a fine of $500.
An ordinance in 1920
created the office of Night
Watchman for the Village of
Sylvania. This person shall
be on duty 10 pm to 6 am; the
position paid $100 per month.
Peddling in the streets and
public places was banned in
1924, with no hawking or
selling from place to place
without a license. It cost $10
for a one day license. It was
further ordained by Sylvania
Village Council in 1930 that
it was unlawful to maintain/
operate an open air public
dance floor or roller skating
rink in Sylvania. .
And theres more. In 1915,
an ordinance was passed
that all open air shows, tent
shows, circuses, menageries
and medicine shows cannot
exhibit in Village of Sylva-
nia until the Mayor has is-
sued a license of $5 per day,
and $2.50 for each additional
day.
I was wondering if any of
these old laws still existed.
It wasnt an easy quest, as
anyone versed in legalities
knows. The City of Sylva-
nia has a splendid website:
www.cityofsylvania.com/
with lots of great info. And
sure enough, there is a tab at
the top labeled Ordinances.
You can click on the various
Codified Ordinances, and
even search. I found, for
example, a chapter on Cir-
cuses, Menageries, Carni-
vals, Etc., number 711, and
it clearly states that any such
exhibition shall give at least
one weeks notice in writing
to the Mayor. Upon consent,
a fee of $50 for the first day,
and $25 for each additional
day must be paid, not to ex-
ceed $150 in one week. In
addition, a bond of between
$10 and $50 for cleanup must
be made, returnable when the
grounds were restored. So
obviously, the old $5/$2.50
rate from 1915 has been up-
dated.
The current city charter
was updated in 1961, and
our charming old ordinances
were apparently relegated to
dusty documents. With hun-
dreds of pages of laws on the
website, I didnt relish the
task of reading through them
all. And anyway, they dont
show amendments replacing
historic rulings. So we can
assume were safe playing
pool, parking on the street
or dancing outside in Sylva-
nia.
But just to be sure, youd
better obey the city night
watchman, and dont walk
your pig across any bridges.

Fun, Volleyballs and In-
spiration Served Up at Girls

Volleyballs were flying,
girlfriends were running for

dies did themselves proud
as they shopped through the
vendor hall and someone
even won cash. That was just
some of the fun and excite-
ment at the 1st Girls Morn-
ing Out event in Toledo, Ohio

The Week Ahead:
Aug. 24 through Aug. 30.
Aries
(March 21-April 19)
This is not a good moment for
making business decisions on gut
instincts, although this usually
works very well for you. Right
now, there are too many unknown
variables to be loose with your
cash, even if the information you
are analyzing sounds convincing.
Taurus
(April 20-May 20)
Expect communication to be
good this week, especially in your
relationships. Make sure you
spend some alone time with your
partner and clear the air.
Gemini
(May 21-June 21)
Right now, your physical
strength will be low. However,
your emotions will be on an all
time high leaving you feeling very
up and down.
Cancer
(June 22-July 22)
You are overwhelming the
people around you with your high
and low moods. Be careful not to
create long-term conflicts by
pushing people away from you.
Leo
(July 23-Aug. 22)
Lately you may have been
feeling like you are heading in
two directions at the same time.
So, now is the time to make a sen-
sible decision about what you
want to do with your life.
Virgo
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Your emotional well-being
hinges on staying in a positive
mindset. You will be challenged
by people who question your
opinion, but stay strong in what
feels right to you.
Libra
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Family and friends are very
supportive of the changes that you
want to make in your life right
now. Spend some time clearing
your mind and feeling the life pur-
pose that only you can fulfill.
Scorpio
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Expect great things financially
this week. Watch for sales of any
kind but especially those in real
estate. Your time is good for asset
creation.
Sagittarius
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The week may get off to an
odd start but stay focused on just
today. By the end of the week you
will wonder why you were feeling
stressed at all. Plan a quick get-
away for the weekend or recon-
nect with a friend or loved one
from out of town.
Capricorn
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Balancing your time this week
will feel like a struggle. There are
responsibilities holding you back
from the things you really want to
do. Spend some time prioritizing
your projects and then rewards
yourself.
Aquarius
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Sometimes your friends and
co-workers distract your attention
and pull you away from your proj-
ects. Your caring nature wants to
help them but its important to
find balance between your goals
and helping everyone else accom-
plish their goals.
Pisces
(Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a great week for com-
municating with others. You will
feel like everyone is listening to
you and your energy will drawn
them in even closer. Start the
week ready to go and you will
enjoy the rewards by Friday.
Imagine if every week were this
easy how much you could accom-
plish.
One of the most exciting
yearly events is A Night to
Remember, sponsored by the

I was pleased to attend
the Safety City graduation
of 180 Sylvania five-year-
old children on Friday, June
17. This was Sylvania Safety
Citys 26th year and more
than 4,600 students have at-
tended. Sylvanias children
are our most important as-
set, and Sylvanias version of
Safety City helps to get them
off to a safe start before they
enter school.
The children attended
either a morning or an after-
noon class for four days at
Central Elementary School.
Important topics covered
included:
*Memorization of Name,
Address and Telephone Num-
ber
*Classroom Skills
*Safely Crossing the
Street
*Traffic Signs and Sig-
nals
*Seat Belt Safety
*Fire Prevention
*Stop, Drop and Roll
*Stranger Danger
*School Bus Safety and
going for a short School Bus
ride.
*Bicycle Safety includ-
ing always wearing a helmet
*Railroad Crossings
*Safety Around Animals
*Medical Emergencies
and Ambulances
*Hospitals
A neighborhood of streets,
sidewalks, signs, crosswalks,
lights, etc. is set up to help
practice safety. The children
get to meet police officers,
firefighters and other emer-
gency personnel and learn
those people are their friends
and want to help them.
Thank you to all who
help to make Safety City a
great experience for our chil-
dren, including all the teach-
ers, police officers, firefight-
ers and other personnel and
volunteers who helped out.
Also, our thanks to Flower
Hospital, the Lucas County
Dog Warden, Norfolk-South-
ern RR/Operation Lifesaver,
Allied Waste, the Sylvania
Township Fire Department,
and Sylvania Schools for
their assistance. Sylvania
Safety City 2011 was a great
success because of all of you.
And thank you to all the par-
ents for entrusting your chil-
dren to us and for supporting
the program and attending
the graduation ceremony.
Incidentally, another
great program of the Sylvania
Police Division is the Child
Safety Seat program. Police
officers Dani Miller and Stacy
Pack have trained to become
Certified Child Passenger
Safety Technicians. Since the
program started in 2001 with
the help of Dave White Chev-
rolet, they have checked or in-
stalled over 2000 child safety
seats at a variety of events
around town resulting in over
150 unsafe child seats being
turned in and replaced at cost.
If you would like to have a
Child Safety Seat checked,
please call the City of Sylva-
nia Police at (419)885-8902
to set up an appointment, or
look for them at upcoming
community events.

To the Editor:
In response to the letter received from Ogden Township
Supervisor Jim Goetz and
Township Clerk Phyllis Gentz- You said you have served
for a combined total of 30 years and I say, Time for change!
First of all, I would like to say that no one is banning your
rights to do what you want with your property. We all have
the right to use our property as we wish, which is why we
are speaking out. We are fighting for our rights to keep our
property as enjoyable as it is today. You speak of the future of
Ogden Township and protecting Lenawee Countys productive
farmland, how does bringing an industrial wind farm protecting
our future or our farmland? My future is protecting my homes
value, the land surrounding it, and my quality of life.
Secondly, it has been proven that the tax dollars are not
enough to considerably benefit the community nor do these
wind companies provide jobs for local individuals, despite
what they promise. Our community is already divided by the
proposal of wind turbines, a successful recall will not divide
the community any further. If you had thoroughly done your
research, you would know that by signing a lease you would
potentially risk your positions on the township board. This has
happened in many other communities facing these hard deci-
sions, and Im sure we wont be the last. Yes, Ogden Township
does not have zoning laws or an ordinance. How can we get a
fair ordinance put into place when two people refuse to listen to
the concerns of others in the community who have not signed
a lease? We are protecting our rights to live peacefully without
500 ft. wind turbines in close proximity to our homes, please
understand that.
Your letter is very one sided and you seem to be all about
yourselves and what you want. Its sad how greed can make
you forget your long term friends and neighbors. It also ap-
pears this letter went out with the presumption that you have
nothing to lose, because you have already lost. How would you
lose if we are only a small group of individuals, handful of
people, wind opponents, vocal minority and a small band
of people? Funny, now who is attacking who?
In conclusion, Lets really fight for the future of our com-
munity! Everyone, Please show up to your township meetings,
even if its just to show your face. We only have one chance
to make a difference. If you love living here, do something to
show your support! Please vote YES on August 2nd.
Signed,
Olivia Randall

COMMUNITY LIFE
The Southview Lady Cougars softball
team bid farewell to their four seniors dur-
ing the teams award banquet that was held
June 16 at the Sylvania Senior Center. As
Olivia OReilly, Emily Estrich, Tejal Parikh,
and Kara Kruse move on to the next stages of
their lives they do so with the satisfaction of
knowing that their final year on the softball
diamond was one for the record books.
Southview capped off a highly success-
ful 21-6 season by reaching the state Division
I regional finals for the second time in school
history. The Lady Cougars were denied a
first-ever trip to the state final four after suf-
fering a 7-4 loss to two-time state champion
Elyria (24-5), a perennial softball power that
finished the season ranked second in the Ohio
coaches poll.
Ironically, it was the same Elyria team
that knocked off the Lady Cougars in 2002 in
their first appearance in a regional final. That
year Elyria went on to capture their first state
championship.
Southview captured its first district
title in nine years by defeating Central Catho-
lic 2-0 in a game that was dominated by two
of the areas best pitchers: Erin Seiler of Cen-
tral Catholic and OReilly.
The Lady Cougars got rolling in the state
playoffs with key victories against elite To-
ledo City League teams St. Ursula, Clay, and
Central Catholic in succession before drop-
ping Northern Lake League conference foe
Bowling Green in the regional semi-finals.
Southview was also victorious in their two
regular season match-ups against BG.
Head Coached Jim Zoltowski repeatedly
drilled into his team throughout their playoff
run that in order for the Cougars to make it
to Akron to play for the coveted state cham-
pionship trophy that they would have to win
five very difficult games against tough teams
that were just as hungry for as they were.
Unfortunately, the Lady Cougars came up
one game short of the goal. However, Zol-
towski will use the success of this season
to continue to build the softball program at
Southview with his eye on reaching the state
playoffs.
For OReilly the end of the season means
that she will be trading in her orange and
brown Southview uniform for the scarlet and
gray colors of Ohio State. She has verbally
committed to playing for the Buckeyes and
will join the team as a preferred walk-on in
the fall.
The ace pitcher, who posted a 13-2 re-
cord, closed out her prestigious prep career
by being named to the OHSAA Division I
All-Ohio first team.
Our Daily Bread Community Dinner Is Hosted Every
Wednesday Night At Olivet Lutheran Church, Sylvania
These volunteers and members of Olivet Lutheran Church, 5840 Monroe St., Sylvania,

to be around people.
Margaret Fisher, 70, of Dundee, Mich., made blankets for all of the volunteers serving at
The Daily Bread Community Dinner hosted by Olivet Lutheran Church June 15. Fisher,
who enjoys the dinners to meet new people and make new friends, said she used birthday
money from her family to pay for the supplies to make the blankets. I just wanted to thank
these volunteers for all they do for us, Fisher said.

for The Image Group, has been named one
of the marketing industrys Rising Stars
by PPB Magazine, the national journal
of the Promotional Products Association
International (PPAI).

from around the country, was selected for
embodying the characteristics of talent,
ambition, persistence, leadership, originality,
and an optimistic sense for whats yet to
come.

industry peers and chosen by PPBs in-house
panel. This years winners have demonstrated
an impressive array of accomplishments, along
with strong initiative, high energy, creativity,
and community commitment.

immediately after graduating from Siena
Heights University. His energetic approach
to prospecting has consistently earned him
honors as one of the companys top sales
people. He became National Account Team
Leader earlier this year.

Phrases such as the client comes first and
whatever it takes are more than just clichs
to me, explains Walrod. They serve as my
guiding principles. This award reaffirms that
those concepts are valid keys to success.

Toledo with their two-year-old daughter and
two dogs.
