shared that my goal/hope as a dad was to hand my daughters their diplomas at graduation. I staked-out this rather presumptuous 12-year timeframe because I was all-in for Sylvania and to ease some people’s concern that I was just passing through. This is now my 12th year at the helm and our younger daughter, Allison, is set to walk across the stage next June,” he said. “Being the Sylvania superintendent is tremendously meaningful and rewarding. It is a privilege for me to serve in this capacity. The job is also very demanding. After thoughtful consideration, I have decided to retire at the end of this school year. I am announcing my departure now because staff and community members have asked about my future plans and to allow time for a smooth transition.”

Eddie Boggs—The Sylvanian You Wished You Knew COMMUNITYNEWS

Eddie Boggs

Eddie Boggs, educator, entertainer and community ambassador... For over 40 years, Eddie Boggs wove his charm, talent, warmth, sparkling blue eyes and infectious smile through the fabric of Sylvania touching people of all ages and from all walks of life. A summer visit in 1972 to visit a brother then living in Toledo extended into a lifetime of brightening the lives of all of whom he came in contact with. This extraordinary man’s time on earth was cut way too short. He began chemo treatments in June, 2013 for an aggressive type of lymphoma. After finishing treatments the end of September, hosting his last Sylvania Fall Festival, and receiving a clean pet scan in November, his health took a turn for the worse, a rare complication of the lymphoma and treatments. Eddie Boggs’ incredible sunshine left us the beginning of January 2014. But, while he was here, Eddie Boggs lived life to the fullest.

As an Educator Eddie Boggs began his teaching career with Sylvania Schools as a seventh grade Social Studies teacher at McCord Junior High School. He later became a guidance counselor and made the move to Timberstone Junior High School when it opened in 1997. He was not content to just follow the curriculum and leave school when classes were finished. Music was his avenue, and he used it with the students every chance he had. Many students were exposed to a love of song either through the guitar club he started, participating in a talent show, being involved in one of his local productions, or by being asked to sing on one of his countless original songs. Many of the school songs and pledges were also written by him. He also guided tours of junior high students to Washington D.C. for over 30 years, instilling in them a knowledge of government and love for this country. He became a licensed D.C. tour guide in 2007 after his retirement and began a tour company, American City Tours LLC which specialized in student tours. U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur commended him publically, both locally and in the House of Representatives, for his efforts through the years. She commented in The Toledo Free Press, “Eddie was uniquely generous. He used his music to entertain, mobilize and uplift. He really shared his talents broadly. I always called him the music man. How many of us in our lifetime meet someone like that? You don’t meet many people like that in your lifetime.

As an Entertainer Eddie Boggs thrilled audiences of all ages. His repertoire included over 1,000 popular songs and hundreds of his original works. He was a regular at the Hathaway House in Blissfield, and played in hundreds of local

venues on an ongoing basis, was booked for numerous private events, festivals and clubs. He performed at Put-In-Bay for over 25 seasons. That part of his career actually began with a friendship with entertainer David Browning who introduced him to the local music scene. And his friendship didn’t stop with Browning. He established strong relationships with many other local entertainers and was able to pull large groups together for many fundraising events and specialty shows that he produced over the years. His musical talent and friendly demeanor led him to perform and play across the United States. His lifelong dream was realized when he retired from Sylvania Schools and was asked to tour with “The New Christy Minstrels,” a 1962 Grammy award winning folk group founded by Randy Sparks. This led to years on the road, 20072013, always with a song in his heart. A few of his songs can be heard on youtube.com. He left his grandchildren a legacy of song in 2013 when he wrote and recorded “Grandkids.”

As a Community Leader Whenever there was a community event, Eddie Boggs was front and center, from serving as the Master of Ceremonies at the annual Fall Festival, to performing for each of the Arbor Day celebrations, where he sang his original songs for grade school children. He greeted guests with song from the podium at the River Ball Race at Harroun Park, was the main entertainer for “Music in the Park” held for years at Burnham Park, serenaded audiences at Olander Park’s “Sunset Seranade” concerts. His productions promoted area talent. His first musical, “Such Good Friends,” was written and produced in 1988. The performance took place at the Franciscan Center, starring many students and adults from Sylvania. His respect among the local artists allowed him to request their talents in community events. Many participated in the family-friendly alcohol-free New Year’s First Night Toledo events and then, First Light Sylvania, which he organized and produced for four years. He also developed and produced the ‘Lake Erie West Hall of Fame Awards Show,’ of which the inductees’ plaques hang in the Seagate Center in downtown Toledo. This show award presentations provided accolades for the many talented individuals from our community in all areas of the arts. ‘The Old Fashioned Holiday Variety Show’ ran for 17 years and raised over $250,000 for local family and children’s charities. While his focus was in Sylvania, Eddie Boggs was equally respected and revered throughout northwest Ohio and beyond. He was involved with several different campaigns, writing songs and jingles to insure success. He was willing to write a song, “Give Energy a Break,” for an obscure event in the late 1970s for Sharon Lange, someone he barely knew at the time. He also wrote the theme song for the “Keep Jeep” campaign in 1997. He wrote and produced a talk show that aired on Channel 30, “This Side Up,” in 1983. It dealt with junior high issues and involved many students and advisors. He was a champion in promoting positive choices in our youth. He also produced “That Special Time of Year” a holiday musical show that was aired on Channel 13 in the early 80s. He was involved with Youth to Youth and enjoyed the opportunity to sing on the White House lawn to President Reagan with a group of students, singing of course one of his

SYLVANIA ADVANTAGE | MID OCTOBER 2014 | 7A

original songs. He was involved in the Easter Seals telethon for many years and on numerous non-profit boards. He was a proud supporter and MC at the “My Fair Lady” pageant held yearly at the Lucas County Fair, charming a number of mature ladies and making their day. So it is no wonder that he received commendations from every Toledo Mayor from Harry Kessler to Carty Finkbeiner and Mike Bell. Among the many accolades he has received, most notable are: honored by the city of Toledo in 1997 for his song, “Keep Jeep in Toledo;” received the Sylvania Schools Educator of the Year Award in 2005;

the Sylvania’s Ray of Hope in 2005; and the National Jefferson Award in 2007 for outstanding service to the Toledo metropolitan area.

As a Family Man However, of all his achievements, his faith and time spent with family were his treasure. His zest for living and his kindness remain in their hearts for those blessed to know him. He truly was a Sylvanian you wished you knew!

Northview Theater, America’s Pride and Karate. The parade, which originates at Northview High School, will continue down Monroe Street to Main Street to Erie Street to Woodrow Avenue and end at Veteran’s Memorial Field. “This looks to be one of our biggest parades ever. We have several new groups who are participating,” noted parade organizer Jane Herwat. The Zenobia Shriners Little Red Cars Parade Unit, The Lancers, is one of the many new additions to the annual Sylvania Fall Festival Parade. The Lancers will celebrate their upcoming 50th anniversary of community performance at the parade. Zenobia Shrine Potentate Keith A. Tuttle is a 1973 graduate of Sylvania High School. The Lancers, well known for their precision driving and family entertainment, will feature exciting close-handling skills at high speeds and will perform “Split the Ocean,” “Figure 8” and “Four on Four Rotations” for crowd-pleasing effects. “Everyone is invited to sit in the cars and have their picture taken after the parade,” Tuttle invited. Another group making its debut at the annual parade is the Sylvania Slow Riders, organized by Matt Squibb, Norma VelascoHensley and Michelle Atkinson. The group will decorate their bikes for the parade and Atkinson anticipates between 30 and 50 riders to participate in the parade. “We will start our rides after Fall Festival,” Atkinson noted. “We are a casual group. Someone will post a ride online and people will shows up and start riding. We have people of all ages and children as well. We ride with traffic and follow traffic laws,” she said.

New outdoor fitness center opens in Pacesetter Park FROM 1A When Sylvania resident David Shanahan suggested that outdoor fitness equipment would be a good addition to Pacesetter Park, the now retired Sylvania Area Joint Recreation District director Ken Katafias agreed. Katafias completed a Sylvania Rotary grant application and received a $15,000 grant for more than half the $23,000 price tag on the equipment. “We are very pleased to have been able to purchase and install this fitness equipment allowing us to promote a healthier lifestyle for residents,” noted SAJRD director Mike McMahon. SAJRD staff member Brian Hall was

charged with researching and purchasing the 13 pieces of ADA equipment, which was recently installed in Pacesetter Park adjacent to the parking lot and within the sight line of the jogging path. Each piece of equipment is labeled and contains a QR code. Participants can use their smart phones to scan the code for instructions on the proper use of the apparatus. “Many people who are running or walking in the park stop to use the equipment as part of their workout. This has also become very popular for kids, as well. People are really using this equipment,” Hall said.

‘Celebrate the Senses’

Carol Sarkan shared her book ‘And Candy Smiled,’ illustrated by Christoff Flowers, about an inspirational one-legged dog, at the event held at the Pinnacle in Maumee. The day allowed guests to visit healers, massage therapists, mediums, reflexologists, angel readers and others.

The Sylvanian You Need To Know

BY MARY HELEN DARAH “I accepted the role of Scout executive/CEO and moved my family here in 2012. Upon my arrival, I was informed we were on the verge of taking on three major projects and we needed to raise $1.1 million to fully pay for the new 3.1 million Jadel Leadership Center that currently is short of our goal by $250,000. Welcome to Erie Council,” says Ed Caldwell. The Advantage sat down with Caldwell to see how this professional scout handles the long hours, multi-tasking, and a never-ending list of to-dos while striving toward his dream of getting more kids involved in scouting and its mission of building leaders. Is Scouting in your “DNA” and where has it taken you? “I am an Eagle Scout and so was my Dad. My Grandfather was a committee chairman in Iowa. Weston, my son, is eleven and a 6th grader at Arbor Hills. He is also a 4th generation scout. I grew up in Iowa and professional scouting has taken me to Nebraska, New York and Indiana before moving to Sylvania.” What is the main purpose of the Jadel Leadership Center? “It is the Erie Shores Council permanent

home but I want everyone to know that is it a community building available with meeting rooms corporate for retreats and training.” In addition to being on a historical site, it p r o vides a s a f e basement protection for 200 peoin ple case of storms. The facility also houses the Camp Miakonda Museum and a newly expanded Scout shop. It also allows us to reach out to underserved members of the community.

How has scouting changed since you were a young scout? “The experience of being in a troop setting is very similar with t h e exception of being a troop leader. There are a lot m o r e hassles today than 20 years ago. We m u s t ensure everyone’s safety. That is the number on priority. There was no youth protection training and there was certainly less paperwork. Barbara and Ed Caldwell One thing that will always remain constant is our mission to build leaders. By the way, there is more to selling popcorn than you would imagine. It is valuable training for our youth. It teaches a

scout how to look a customer in the eye, be confident, and speak to the public.” What’s on the horizon for the Erie Shores Council Boy Scouts? “We are in the process of dreaming about a new dining hall for the Pioneer Scout Reservation that will seat 600 and contain a basement that will be used for shelter. We want the community to know we and our 160 acres at Miakonda are here to be used. We offer team building through the high and low ropes, a disability awareness station, obstacle course, human foosball court and 20 other activity areas. We also want to reach more kids. Out of a total of this area’s available youth we reach 9.8% (6,300 youth). Why not 15% (10,000)? Our community will be strengthened by youth who have leadership skills. We hope to talk with churches and civic groups and provide them with a professional staff and resources to get a pack or troop started. Again, we are right here. Use us!” What do you enjoy about living in Sylvania? “I’m not just saying this when I tell you that I have enjoyed this community the most. We are pleased with the Sylvania schools and have found that, with sports, museums, parks, recreation and seasonal activities, this place has so much to offer.” The Erie Shores Council Boy Scouts of America is located at 5600 W.

Judy Puckett, third from left, joined Sylvania Area Family Services board members Phil Kallile, Brian Yeager and Dave Puckett during the event and enjoyed learning about the Monday Morning Painters, a group first organized 1958 by several prominent area artists. It was then called ‘Group 9.’ Today there are about 30 active members, and many have earned top regional and national honors for painting. This is casual group of dedicated, professional artists who meet every Monday Morning for breakfast then paint together, each using a favorite medium such as watercolor, acrylic, oil or pastel. Their subjects include various area parks, the Maumee River, Lake Erie, and and other scenic locations in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.

Chandler Building retail space gets new look to welcome Ragazza

Jane Wurth of Ragazza and Sue Fanelly of the Paper Cellar consult with Mickey Jordan and Chuck Schmalzried of Michelle Construction about progress on the renovation of the space in the Chandler Building. Wurth anticipates opening Ragazza the end of October.

“I have been looking for space in downtown Sylvania for quite some time. Our business at the David Broadway location has

been growing and we have needed more space,” noted Jane Wurth, owner of the eight-year-old boutique, Ragazza. “I have

loved being in downtown Perrysburg and really wanted to have a shop in downtown Sylvania. I knew that this location was available, but I wanted a front door.” “And, that’s when Jeff Unverferth of Unverferth Interiors, stepped in. He drew plans for the exterior from his studio across the street allowing me to visualize what could be,” Wurth said. “I worked with the building owners and was able to lease the space.” Micky Jordan, also a part-time Ragazza employee and a partner with Chuck Schmalzried of Michelle Construction, was the natural choice to head up the renovation project. “Jane and I work well together and I know what she likes and what is important to her,” Jordan stated. “This is a good collaborative effort.” Interior designer Sue Fanelly of the Paper Cellar, is helping with the interior design of the new store. In addition to the new Main Street front door with two new large showroom win-

dows, a customer counter will be built adjacent to the front door. “We will have three cozy dressing rooms and a large three-way mirror for client convenience,” Wurth said. A small office/storeroom will be constructed at the rear of the store. The corridor door and its two showcase windows will remain for customer convenience. According to Wurth, the new Sylvania store will carry some of the same inventory found in the Perrysburg store but most of the fashions will be unique to the Sylvania store. “We want our customers to have a different shopping experience at each store,” Wurth stated.

‘Keeping It Natural’ makeup line available at Harmony in Life

Makeup artist Linda Hoffman has found a new career in a familiar path. She will be on hand for makeup consultations at Harmony in Life on Oct. 18 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Shortly after Linda Hoffman retired from her 30-year makeup artistry career, she found herself wandering about her house in an unhappy state. “I felt so nonproductive,” she admitted. “And, my dreams were filled with cosmetics. It was really crazy.” “Since cosmetics had always been such a big part of my life, I began doing research on the topic and I especially became interested in natural products,” Hoffman stated. Armed with information, Hoffman began putting different combinations together until she was able to develop her line of organic, vegan, mineral makeup including foundation, blushes, shadows, mascara and lip colors. “I had had some color composition throughout my career so, with trial and error, and help from my daughter, Julie Fuller, I came up with the products and colors that are now available,” she noted. Hoffman said that she uses a combination of kaolin clay and zinc oxide along with mica, seracite and iron oxide for color. She launched her products on Etsy, an online shop for home-based products in 2011. Recently, longtime friend Gale Clark invited Hoffman to showcase her cosmetic products at Harmony in Life, 5747 N. Main St. “Linda’s products are just exactly what our customers would love. They are very conscious of what they put on their bodies and look for products that are free from toxins and chemicals. I am thrilled to be able to offer Keeping It Natural makeup here,” Clark noted. “I really like using the products too. Her makeup has a soft natural look and is very silky feeling. And, the foundation, lip

gloss, eye shadow and mascara are long lasting even in extreme weather conditions such as high humidity.” “Linda’s products help heal issues and the foundation is oil absorbing but not drying. And, everything looks very natural when applied,” Clark added. Hoffman has developed lipsticks and lip glosses along with a lip scrub for dry lips. She also has an all-natural cake mascara that has no harsh chemicals. In addition to her product lines, Hoffman can also develop custom orders tailored to individual requests for such things as bridal parties and many others. “It feels so good to make customers happy,” she reported. Hoffman will help customers pick out colors and offer consultation services at Harmony in Life on Saturday Oct. 18 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and again during Downtown Delights on Nov. 6. HIL offers new products Gale Clark of Harmony in Life, 5747 N. Main St. in downtown Sylvania, has introduced two new products with therapeuticgrade essential oils: aromatherapy rollerballs and aromatherapy bracelets. “I have been a wellness advocate for doTERRA therapeutic essential oils for the past year, learning about and experimenting with all of the oils. There is an essential oil or a combination of oils for everything and there is so much to learn,” Clark pointed out. “Recently, my daughter, Emmy Zunk, suggested we combine some of the oils in a rollerball for easy application. She found the rollerball applicators, designed and produced the labels and researched the oils to develop the recipes for each of the rollerballs,” Clark said. “The aromatherapy rollerballs are perfect for meditation, yoga, or for anytime one may need a pick-me-up,” Clark said. Each blend is made with therapeutic-grade essential oils and grape-seed oil and may be applied to pressure points or temples. Aromatherapy rollerball selections include, “calming,” a combination of lavender, spruce, rosewood, blue tansy and frankincense; “happy,” a citrus blend of orange, lemon, grapefruit, mandarin, bergamot, tangerine, clementine, vanilla and spruce, rosewood, blue tansy and frankincense. “Focus” is a mixture of peppermint and orange, which refreshes the mind and aids in concentration. “Clarity” is a combination of rosemary, lemon and cypress, a blend that is uplifting and promotes the release of stress and anxiety from one’s body, mind and soul.

Clark and Pat Wahl have developed a new gemstone bracelet that includes lava stones, which diffuse therapeutic essential oils into the skin. “I just put two drops of essential oil in the palms of my hands and roll my bracelet in the oil and put it on my wrist. That oil lasts for at least two days and is an excellent way to elevate one’s mood. I feel joyful when my aromatherapy bracelet first touches my wrist,” Clark added.

Township resident named head of women’s business group

Linda Everhardt Kardux is named the new executive director of WEN.

Sylvania Township resident Linda Everhardt Kardux has been named the new executive director for the Women’s Entrepreneurial Network. A longtime member, Kardux joined the organization in February 1995, during its second year. “I was invited to attend a meeting by my friend, Kathy Crabtree. That one meeting was all that it took and I was totally committed. I thought to myself, ‘I wonder if they’ll let me help?’ as I left that meeting,” Kardux laughingly remembered. After a one-to-one meeting with Linda Fayerweather, the organization’s first director, Kardux was even more engaged. She immediately became involved as a coordinator and eventually served as codirector with Fayerweather for many years. At the time, Kardux had recently joined Business Navigators, a business consulting

firm. “I was new to the company and WEN was the perfect networking opportunity for me to help me in my new job. I got my first client for Business Navigators through my WEN connections, which proved to be very beneficial for me and for my client, as well,” she recalled. Kardux and Fayerweather guided the organization through many challenges over the years. “WEN originally started thanks to Helen Dennis who called the Toledo Area Chamber of Commerce looking for a women’s networking organization when she first moved to the area. When she found there was none, she wrote and received a three-year matching grant, which was housed at the chamber. Fayerweather was hired to raise the matching funds that actually launched the organization. After the grant expired, the two co-directors moved and incorporated as a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization under the name, Women Mean Business Inc., dba WEN. Through the years, WEN has grown in membership and programming. Both Fayerweather and Kardux moved out of their leadership roles a few years ago as new opportunities were presented to each of them. “I had the chance to broaden my skill set by accepting a new position in management as did Linda. While we both left the WEN leadership team, we remained members,” Kardux said. “Recently, my career path took another twist. When the executive director job became available, I was able to apply and was thrilled when I was named to the position. I have always believed in the mission

Glass City Athletics to hold grand opening Glass City Athletics will hold a grand opening and tour of its new building from 6 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 19. The newly constructed 22,500-square-foot facility is at the corner of Airport Highway and Albon Road. Glass City Athletics, celebrating its 20th anniversary, will be home to the Glass City Volleyball Company, Toledo Elite Basketball Club, and the Toledo Sports and Social Club. Available activities will include travel volleyball, basketball training and competitions, baseball training and many other sport training and competitive opportunities. The open house offers an opportunity to meet the coaches for the Glass City Volleyball’s upcoming travel season and hear

about the various team offerings. Representatives from Toledo Elite and Toledo Sport and Social will also be on hand. The event will feature a DJ, hors d’oeuvres and a photo booth. The Glass City Athletic facility is the latest project at the Airport Highway site and will be neighbors to the new Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park, which recently broke ground. Additional retail and restaurant space will be constructed in early 2015. Stephanie Kuhlman and Dallas Paul of Industrial Developers are developing the 15acre corner for Greg Repass and Rich Iott, owners of the Stone Oak Business Condominiums, also known as the Mancaves.

of WEN. This organization captured my heart and soul at my first meeting and that commitment has only grown stronger through the years,” she said. Kardux will be working closely with Pam Terhune, her assistant, and looks to encourage partnerships with other organizations such as the library and more. She also anticipates adding new programs. “We want to keep the momentum of the organization going and actually take the membership to the next level,” she promised.

His daughter Muna, for whom the market was named, is on the front line, serving customers. His three sons, Bill, Sam, and Saaid, and five other employees work in the grocery or behind the deli and meat counter. Saadeh said he lends a hand in the kitchen, as he enjoys cooking as well as greeting patrons in the front side of the facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was the baby in my family and spent a great deal of time helping my mother with all of the household chores, including preparing meals,â&#x20AC;? he remembered. Born in Lebanon, Saadeh moved to the United States when he was 19 at his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She wanted me to be safe, have a future and be a part of the land of opportunity,â&#x20AC;? he said. A true entrepreneur, Saadeh worked hard and was soon able to open his own business, the Grape Leaf restaurant, which he later sold. He has also owned a print shop and convenience stores, which he sold to return to the food industry. Currently, he also owns the Sahara Restaurant in Maumee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the business I really like and know.

Christian Home Care celebrates its fifth anniversary mentoring program insures the success of new caregivers and consistency of care. Last year, 2013, Christian Home Care was nominated by its employees as a “Top Workplace” awarded by The Blade. They came in second place for small businesses

(those with 50 or less employees) and achieved a separate award of distinction for “Communication.” Christian Home Care’s tag lines “We come home to you” and “not your typical agency” remain as true today as they were in 2009.

Personal assistance business opened centrate on what they do best. I can help take the stress from business owners by taking care of all of those details they may not have time to deal with.” “I love what I do. This is so much fun and I get to meet people and make an impact on their lives,” Bok added. Bok, a registered nurse by profession, has flexible hours and is willing to work around the schedule of business owners. Two of Bok’s clients, Kyle Talkington of Studio 419 and Tom Prescott of Choconotes, are both located on Main Street in downtown Sylvania. “I really love being here. In fact, I love the community so much, I just moved to downtown Sylvania,” she said.

The staff of Christian Home Care

It has been five years since Jonette Braden Crabtree founded a new home care agency with Christian ethics and principles as the foundation for its business practices. Christian Home Care LLC is locally owned and operated under the management of Susan Wendt.. Crabtree remains active with the business on a consultant basis. The agency has flourished during that time, blossoming from three caregivers and two people on staff to over 40 caregivers and five staff members. Staff and caregivers support clients and their families as extended family. The same is true for the mutual support staff and caregivers provide for each other. This has been vital to the success of the business. Christian Home Care provides a full range of non-medical services to allow people to remain as independent as possible no matter where they live. They strive to provide the personal and environmental care people need in the most compassionate way possible. Caregivers and staff also offer spiritual encouragement to those who desire it. Caregivers do not evangelize. They believe in others seeing firsthand Jesus’ head, heart, hands and feet through the service they provide. Who does the agency provide services for? Those who are suffering chronic life long health issues; the elderly; those recovering from surgery; those returning home from; those under hospice care; new mothers; those who have suffered the loss of a loved one, who may be overwhelmed and find difficulty coping with the demands of every day life; those who may need some companionship; people

who need transportation; and people who need a companion. Some clients use the service once a month or on an as needed basis. Other clients need more concentrated time such as 12 to 24 hours per day. Services offered include, but are not limited to: personal care (bathing/hygiene, dressing, grooming), meal prep, shopping, errands, outings, transportation to outings or appointments, attendance at doctors appointments to ask relevant questions for the client from themselves or family members and documenting pertinent information. Spiritual and or Bible readings are provided if requested. The agency continually strives for excellence by providing continuing education for its caregivers. Melissa Swartz, R.N., provides patient education for various concerns. She supervises the services provided by the caregivers as well managing the care of the clients. She also routinely visits clients for “wellness” checks. Christian Home Care is a private pay agency. The staff works in conjunction with long-term care providers. Medicare/Medicaid, health insurance providers, federal or state agencies do not provide coverage or reimbursement for services that are provided. Caregivers are required to have a mandatory drug screen and background checks with fingerprints and to be bonded and insured. All caregivers must have first aid and CPR training, continuing education units along with personal and professional references, current driver’s licenses, auto insurance, reliable transportation and physician statements. They also must have experience. Caregivers go through a rigorous interview and orientation process. A

Sylvania area CIC provides loans to downtown Sylvania businesses BY KATE FINESKE Last week, many business owners in Downtown Sylvania received a letter from the Sylvania Community Improvement Corporation with information concerning a new program providing short-term, lowinterest loans for renovations, repair or remodeling projects. CIC Executive Board Member Bill Sanford sees this program as a way for the organization to not only benefit local businesses, but also make the community aware of what the Sylvania CIC has to offer. “The CIC has always designated some funds to Downtown Sylvania development, but assisting our retail enterprises was not necessarily a priority. This program gives us a way to invest in the community in new ways.” Downtown business and property owners can apply for a two year loan of up to $5000 at an interest rate of 1%. Scott Stampflmeier, owner of Sylvan Studios located on Main Street, is planning to submit his application. “This is a great program for the Downtown businesses,” Stampflmeier said. “At the 1%

interest rate, it’s much better than we could get from other sources, and while it’s not a huge amount of money, it’s enough to help us complete the remodeling of our upstairs apartments and potentially paint the front of our building.” Stampflmeier feels that quite a few businesses will take advantage of the new CIC program, especially with the addition of several new enterprises on Main Street. Most downtown Sylvania businesses and property owners will have received an application in the mail. Those who did not and are located in the area between Summit and Silica to the east and west, and Erie Street to Tenmile Creek to the north and south, are eligible and can find the application on the Sylvania CIC website at www.sylvaniaareacic.org. The organization has designated $50,000 for this program, and will provide loans until the funds are exhausted. If you have any questions, or are looking for additional information about the Sylvania CIC Downtown Business Loan Program, contact Bill Sanford at 419/885-0482 or bsanford@cityofsylvania.com.

Healthy Helena —

Sugar-free, gluten-free lifestyle made easy

‘Devil’ Deviled eggs Not to toot my own horn, but my family says I make the best deviled eggs ever. Ever since I was little, my family would get pumped to see me boiling water and emptying a carton of eggs into the bubbling water because they knew what was to come. I don’t know why they enjoy them so much because they is SO simple to make! Deviled eggs are perfect for any party but especially so for Halloween! They are gluten-free and sugar-free and they actually have the word devil in them! So perfect. All I do is add some red pepper horns to bring out the real demon! 12 hard boiled eggs (sliced in half and yolks divided) ½ cup mayo ¼ cup mustard 1 lemon squeezed ¼ tsp salt

SYLVANIA ADVANTAGE | MID OCTOBER 2014 | 17A

¼ tsp pepper ¼ tsp garlic powder splash of vinegar 1.5 tbsp. chopped chives paprika to garnish sliced red pepper

In a mixing bowl, scoop out all cooked yolks and mash with a fork, slowly mix in all ingredients but the paprika and sliced red pepper. Use a hand mixer to make sure the mixture is smooth. Sometimes you will need to add more mustard, lemon and mayo to get the taste you want (I prefer more mustard). When the mixture is smooth, use a rubber spatula to pour mixture into a large, Ziploc bag. Push all mixture to a corner and with a pair of scissors, make a small slit. Squeeze the mixture into the holes of the hard-boiled eggs and sprinkle with paprika on top. Place the tiny triangle of red pepper to it make look like devil horns.

October is a month that has a lot going on! The weather is cooler and the leaves are gorgeous colors. Football games and tailgating parties are a Saturday must and the most eerie, magical and mysterious holiday occurs in this awesome month – Halloween! In my opinion, Halloween is a fantastic holiday. It’s your chance to be creative and become someone you are not. It is a time to carve pumpkins, watch scary movies and decorate your house spookily! However, Halloween is also known for its ability to entice us to over-eat and consume ungodly amounts of fat and sugars. Therefore, we succumb to sugar comas from the excess of sweets and treats provided along with all of the Halloween parties we attend. To avoid falling off the nutrition wagon, here are some cool appetizers and treats to bring to a Halloween party that are gluten and low in sugar. This way, you can be creative AND healthy! Everyone at the party will love you!

Finding ’Abilities’ in Disability The Savvy Sylvanian visited The Ability Center of Greater Toledo and was excited to learn more about the organization. Since childhood, I have been told, “Success comes in a ‘CAN’ not a ‘CAN’T’, and from what little information I knew about the staff of the Ability Center, they appear to help individuals find their “CAN” on a regular basis. “Life happens,” says Debbie Keller, program manager and information and referral director of the Ability Center. “Some people are born with disabilities; others acquire them later in life. We are here to help, along with our community partners, support individuals with disabilities to lead more fulfilling lives. We assist people of all ages deal with ‘silent’ disabilities such as Asperger’s to those with physical disabilities. There is a lot of need out there.” More than dogs and wheelchairs I learned that the services available at The Ability Center are plentiful and far reaching. Nursing home transition, equipment to be loaned, job skills training, life planning, and independent living skills, are just a few of the services the organization provides. Keller was excited to share a few of the organization’s numbers that demonstrate its impact on those in our community. “We have built 380 ramps this year to help people make modifications to their home. In addition, Hospice calls upon us to assist their at- home clients with ramps,” says Keller. “We have also loaned 1,914 pieces of medical equipment including items such as bath benches and canes and assist OT/PT [occupational therapist/physical therapist]

with patient discharge planning. We have also placed 34 service and therapy dogs mainly financed through our fundraising efforts. It takes two years to train each dog at a price of $20,000. The dogs are trained to meet the specific needs of each recipient. They can help pick up a cell phone, keys, open a fridge or pull a toggled laundry basket.” The Savvy Sylvanian compared the list of skills to those of her teens and the dogs clearly came out on top in regards to domestic tasks. DAT Keller feels DAT [Disability Awareness Training] is a vital program offered by The Ability Center. “DAT is a three-hour session we facilitate in-house or on the road,” says Keller. “People get to find out what living with a disability is like by simulating loss of vision, hearing or being confined to a wheelchair. It is fun to see participants who are non-verbal for the training session, or visually impaired (by blindfolding them), team up to cope with their ‘temporary’ disabilities. People walk away from the experience more empathetic to others and realize that people are more than their disabilities. A wheelchair for example, is an extension of a person, not who they are.” Call Me We receive calls from people of all ages, caregivers, medical professionals, those looking for resources, and other nonprofits,” says Keller. “We find people who are falling through the cracks. It’s like peeling an onion. We find, one layer at a time, individuals’ needs and connect them to resources and help them sort out and tackle their issues. I love making a difference and helping people find their abilities and live more independently.” The Ability Center is located on 5605 Monroe Street in Sylvania.

We are so blessed to once again have a world-class lineup of speakers from various disciplines and areas of expertise. I believe people will come away from this event with a renewed sense of excitement and commitment to engaging in building relationships and coaching and mentoring a new generation of emerging leaders.”

David A. R. White

Jim Lange, Truth@Work’s chapter president in the Toledo area, shared, “This is a very exciting event for this community. Instead of having to drive to Indianapolis, we can now view the conference as it happens in our own back yard and have the opportunity to develop our leadership skills and connect with other leaders in our area.” Lange also played basketball for the University of Toledo in the early 80’s and also recently released his second book, Calming the Storm Within in December, 2012. Ben Snyder, a pastor at CedarCreek Church stated, “At CedarCreek.tv we believe one of the best ways to care for our community is to help leaders get better. With that in mind, we are excited and honored to work with Truth@Work and be a part of the 2014 America’s Best Hope conference.” The conference will be held on Friday, Nov. 14, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at CedarCreek Church’s West Toledo campus (the corner of Sylvania and Douglas).

Meet Tyler Abner Tyler Abner, a 2007 Sylvania Northview High School graduate, looks forward to covering sporting events in Sylvania and delivering in-depth recaps and analysis of local games. Abner was raised in Sylvania and attended Highland Elementary School and McCord Junior High. Originally, Abner took medical classes with ambitions of becoming an ultrasound technician. Thankfully for the Sylvania AdVantage and its readers, he switched majors and graduated from Boise State University earning a bachelor’s of arts degree in communication media-production. While at Boise State, Abner interned with the student newspaper, the ‘Associated Press,’ ‘On Campus Sports’ and ‘Times News.’ –by Mary Helen Darah

BY TYLER ABNER THE ABNER ANALYSIS Northview girls volleyball falls to Perrysburg The Northview girls volleyball team suffered a loss to Perrysburg 3-0. Northview (11-10, 7-6 Northern Lakes League) lost in the three sets against Perrysburg (17-3, 11-1 NLL), 25-17, 25-17, 25-16. Despite falling in straight sets, the Wildcats fought hard throughout the match against one of the conference’s most respected foes. Northview still sits with a winning overall and conference record in one of the toughest conferences in the region. Perrysburg started each set quickly and used their momentum to keep the Wildcats at bay. Sophomore Kyley Keene led the way for Northview in kills, ending her night with six. She also added one ace, one block assist and 12 digs. Sophomore Sydney Boerst finished just behind Keene in kills with five. She helped the Wildcats defensively finishing her night with two block assists. Junior Baylee Gryca, junior Olivia Yoder and freshman Rachel Phalen played well for Northview with each athlete ending their night with three kills. Senior Abbey Pawlak continued to be one of the toughest defensive liberos in the NLL, finishing her night with a team high 24 digs. Junior Kaylee Hall finished her night with 11 digs and senior Bekah Sigler finished with 10 digs. Wildcat coach Emily Jones will miss the remainder of the season due to her pregnancy. Northview has played well under its interim coach Geoff Peterfy, Jones’ assistant. Northview volleyball fights hard, falls to Generals The Northview girls’ volleyball team gave Anthony Wayne everything it had last Thursday, but fell 3-2. The Wildcats (11-11, 7-7 Northern Lakes League) fell in the five sets to the Generals (128, 8-5 NLL), 25-20, 19-25, 22-25, 25-12, 13-15. During the first set, Northview came out of the gates quickly. It showed great teamwork and worked as one solid unit. What makes Anthony Wayne difficult to beat is its ability to adjust during the match, which is exactly what it did. Sets two and three went in the Generals favor to grab the lead because they focused in on what went wrong in the first set and adjusted to swing the momentum their way. They cut back on the errors and began to get more power under their hits to make it much harder on the Wildcats to return the ball. Despite falling to Anthony Wayne, Northview saw some fantastic play out of its

players. Sophomore Kyley Keene had a monstrous 17 kills during the match. She also added 12 digs and two aces to help keep the Wildcats in the contest. Junior Baylee Gryca and freshman Rachel Phalen each had nine kills apiece. Gryca added one ace and she had three digs, as did Phalen. Senior libero Abby Pawlak continued to be a defensive nightmare for her opponents, ending her night with 35 digs. She played well on the offensive side, as well, accomplishing two successful aces. The Wildcats had a tough stretch this week, falling to both of their opponents. Northview will look to bounce back against Springfield on the road and end its regular season with a winning record on Oct. 16 at 6:30 pm. Southview boys’ soccer team ends its 2014 season strong The Southview boys’ soccer team wrapped up its regular season last Wednesday, with a 30 victory over Napoleon. Southview (7-7-1, 33-1 Northern Lakes League) finished the year strong in a very competitive NLL. The Cougars were able to end their regular season at the .500-mark with a dominating performance against a good Wildcat (10-6-0, 2-5 NLL) team. “We did all right [this season],” Southview coach Andy Kufel said. “I think we underperformed this year, to be honest. We need to get better in the second half and play a complete game. We were still able to finish the season at .500 so I am happy we finished the regular season without a losing record.” Kufel has been with the program since 2003-2004 as either the junior varsity head coach or varsity assistant coach. He has now been at the helm for the Cougars for one season. Senior forward Ismael Gad did his part to help Southview take down Napoleon as he scored one goal during the contest. Junior midfielder Avi Levison and senior defender Michael King each ended their night with one goal apiece to help the Cougars complete the 30 shutout. The Wildcats had an outstanding out-of-conference record this season with an 8-1 mark. In conference play, though, they discovered life can be difficult in one of the Toledo area premier conferences, finishing just 2-5 in the NLL. Southview has a lot to be proud of in its 2014 campaign. Just two years ago the Cougars accomplished 17 wins, earning a berth in the Ohio State title game against Olentangy Liberty, falling 2-0. Then in 2013 they fell to 6-10-1. “We graduated 19 seniors from the 2012 season,” Kufel said. “This year was definitely more of a rebuilding year.” Kufel displayed great coaching skills this season to help fuel the

Front row, L-R: Morgan Sowers, Kylee Batey, Molly Schroder, Danielle Brickner, Madi Soulis, Nicole Wigant, Kiah Macy and Emma Swanson. Back row, L-R: Coach Matt Sowers, Riley Soulis, Shelby Temple, Laura Williams, Lauren Larnhart, Breanna Fangman, Ashlee Bartlett, Katelyn Kane, Kaila Dickerson and Coach Dan Brickner. The Glass City Blue GU14 girls soccer team became division champions at the NWOYSL Festival Soccer Tournament. The competition was held at Pacesetter Park Sept. 26-28. The girls are all Sylvania residents and earned an undefeated record of 4-0 for the tournament.

positive turnaround. “I think we finished the year strong heading into the tournament,” Kufel said. “We won three games in a row and only gave up one goal.” Southview will play against Perrysburg (7-35, 3-0-4 NLL) on the road, which went unbeaten in the NLL, in the district tournament on Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. The Cougars tied the Jackets 1-1 in the only meeting between the two this season. Perrysburg scored its goal around the threeminute mark in the second half. Kufel and company will look to stay poised throughout the entire match this time around.

Southview volleyball sweeps Anthony Wayne The Southview volleyball team produced a dominating performance last Tuesday against Anthony Wayne, winning 3-0. Junior Kacie Andry helped the Cougars (129, 6-7 Northern Lakes League) defeat Anthony Wayne (11-8, 7-5 NLL), 25-20, 25-20, 25-9. She ended her night with eight kills, one ace, five digs and one block. The Generals can be a very pesky team that never seems to go away. They are a team that does things a little different than most. ABNER ANALYSIS TO 8C

“Anthony Wayne is a good mix of experience and youth,” Southview coach Eric Fallis said. “They start and play two freshmen all the way around [the court].” It fought hard in the first two sets before running out of steam in the third set. Andry made sure to keep the Generals at bay to help seal a victory for the Cougars. She was not alone in the tough contest. Senior standout Emily Arnold helped Andry in the victory with six kills, four digs and two blocks. Senior Sami Rossiter finished third on the night for kills, ending with four. On the defensive side Southview got most of its help from senior Victoria Leggett whom led the Cougars with a team high seven digs. The Cougars played very well despite not having a half of their two-headed monster in the lineup, junior Alex Vess. Arnold and Vess have been a dominating duo this year that has been nearly impossible for many teams to stop. The Cougars will look to finish out the regular season strong and will hope to have Vess back soon. Southview girls volleyball prepares for OHSAA The Southview volleyball team split last week 1-1 after defeating Anthony Wayne and then falling to the powerful Bowling Green, 3-0. Bowling Green (15-6, 11-3 Northern Lakes League) had a strong performance against Southview (12-10, 6-8 NLL) winning, 26-24, 25-14, 25-17. “Since Bowling Green has become healthy they have been on a tear,” Southview coach Eric Fallis said. Junior Alex Vess was back in the lineup for the Cougars and she played like she hadn’t

missed a beat, ending with six kills and two blocks. Going into the matchup with the Bobcats, Southview knew it would have to play excellent defense to stay in the game. It ultimately lost, but that was not due to a shortage of defense. Junior Kacie Andry had a team high 10 digs along with two kills. Senior Kara Guttieau finished second on the team for digs with seven. Coach Fallis’ daughter, freshman Sami Fallis, finished third on the team for digs with six. She also had two kills. Senior Victoria Leggett finished off the Cougar players who had five digs or more, ending her night with exactly five and added one ace. Vess’ return helped to reunite her to her other half of the two-headed monster, senior Emily Arnold. Arnold played great to lead the offense in kills with seven. She added three aces, three digs and three blocks. Senior Sami Rossiter finished off her night well with five kills and four blocks. With its regular season done, Southview will now head to the Ohio High School Athletic Association Sectional Tournament. It will stay at home to take on Whitmer on Oct. 16 at 6 p.m.

SCHUYLER STUPICA A STUDENT SPEAKS

My Last Homecoming

When I walked into my house after a night of babysitting, I saw a bouquet of flowers with a Schuyler Stupica note sitting on the dining room table. Homecoming wasn’t the first thought that came to my mind. Considering that I attended a junior high where my graduating class consisted of nine girls, and that I currently attend an allgirls high school, I’m at a bit of a disadvantage when it comes to meeting the kind of people who can take me to formal dances. Namely, guys. Yet, despite the odds against me, I had

SCHOOLNEWS

been asked to homecoming. (Although technically it was my dad who received the flowers from a well-dressed teenage boy.) And so it was that in a surprising turn of events, two years after hosting an anti-homecoming extravaganza for all of my dateless friends, I was about to go to senior homecoming. A couple of weeks later, my younger sister and I were getting ready for the dance. It was her first homecoming, and my last. We had spent the better part of an afternoon getting our hair and nails done, and as we finally put on our makeup, she joked, “Getting asked to homecoming is fun, but maybe it should stop there.” I knew she was just kidding, because we were both very grateful for an excuse to get all dressed up for a celebratory night with friends. The evening began with our group of sixteen seniors enjoying a delicious fourcourse meal at Element 112, an experimental

and avant-garde restaurant in downtown Sylvania. Later when we arrived at the dance, girls kicked off their shoes and added them to the mound of flats and sparkly stilettos at the entrance. Then all of us donned masquerade masks and feather boas for the photo booth, challenged our dates to compete in an inflatable obstacle course (from which I emerged with two tarp burns, while my friend suffered a kick to the eye), and of course, danced. My self-taught knowledge of how to dance to The Wobble came in handy; the song was played twice, and I soon had my entire group wobbling like pros. After the dance we all returned to my date Zac’s house to hang out, play cards, and eat junk food until two o’clock in the morning. My mom and I joked later about how it didn’t even occur to her to give me a curfew or be worried that I might be doing something irresponsible. The most rebellious thing I did that night was drink root beer out of a red solo cup. While we were at his house, Zac showed us the video his friends had taken of him

walking up to my front door to ask me to homecoming. Three of his friends had basically kidnapped him from his home, taken him to buy a bouquet of flowers, and driven him to my house so that he couldn’t chicken out. Since I wasn’t home, my dad accepted the flowers. The friend providing a running commentary for the video joked, “Well, that was probably the best case scenario.” Joking aside, I was glad that Zac had mustered up the courage to ask me to homecoming (or rather, that he had been forcibly taken to my house by a gang of three to ask me to homecoming), because I had an amazing night. In the midst of all the academic stressors brought on by senior year, sometimes all it takes is a fun, carefree, and glamorous night with friends to make you feel on top of the world.

M IKE JONES TOWNSHIP TOPICS Emergency Alerts Nearly 400 residents have so far signed up for alerts which can be received from Sylvania Township and from Lucas County authorities. The alerts may be helpful, particularly if this winter is anything like last year. To sign up, simply go to www.sylvaniatownship.com. On the front page is a link to the page to enroll. The alert are available to your telephone and/or email. When enrolled you will automatically get emergency alerts from Lucas County. Those interested can sign up for a number of alerts from the township, which could include a number of things, such as a reminder of a public meeting, to perhaps notification of a serious traffic tie-up due to an accident. Leaf Collection The leaf collection by Sylvania Township will begin Oct. 20. As always, residents are asked to rake leaves to the side of the road, but to not place leaves in the roadway. They should also avoid piling leaves near fixed objects such as fire hydrants or mailboxes. Weather is often the controlling factor in how quickly the job can be done, but the road department intends to cover the entire township in 17-day cycles. The last collection will begin the Monday after the Thanksgiving Day weekend. Collecting is primarily by vacuum, so residents are urged to not include brush or other debris in leaf piles, because of the damage they can do to the collection equipment. King Road Properties Rezoned Two King Road properties formerly zoned residential have been approved for commercial zoning and a third has been recommended for commercial by the Sylvania Township Zoning Commission. All three are just north of the site of the former King Elementary School now being redeveloped for the construction of a Mercy Hospital emergency room and diagnostic center. Sylvania Township trustees approved the two-parcel rezoning in the final step of that process and the commission recently recommended approval for the third. That site will next go to the trustees for a decision on the rezoning request. They are three residential properties of five, which are directly north of the future emergency and diagnostic site at King and Central Avenue. Sam Zyndorf, CCIM of Signature Associates, who has been representing the hospital in real estate issues involved in the development, said there are no specific plans for developing the residential sites. The hospital would like for the area to have consistent zoning, but Zyndorf said the hospital has all the property and zoning it needs to develop the health care facility. Salt Management “Salt management” will be the phrase used by the Sylvania Township road department this winter due to a big jump in the price of road salt to keep streets as clear as possible. John Zeitler, township administrator, told trustees that the department would of course use the amount necessary to keep the roads safe, but would also be cautious when spreading the now-pricey commodity. Trustees were told at the meeting by Gregory Huffman, public works manager, that the price of salt as negotiated by the state would be $105.25 per ton this year, compared to slightly more than $30 per ton for the salt that was purchased last year. Although Sylvania Township had sufficient salt for last year's brutal winter a number of communities either ran out of salt or were close to that point. Huffman said the bill for township salt

purchased this year will likely be about $158,000 and be included in the 2015 budget. Zone Rezoning has been recommended for a 23house development on King Road south of Central Avenue after a hearing before the Sylvania Township Zoning Commission. The site, at 2707 King Road, currently has an unoccupied home on its seven acres. George Oravecz, consulting engineer on the proposed development, told members of the commission preliminary plans call for singlestory houses of about 2,000 square feet. He said the developers would be responsible for cleaning Smith Ditch along the property, and placing material along the banks of the ditch to retard erosion. A resident from across the street from the project said additional traffic on King Road will cause difficulties. He said traffic sometimes causes him to make a right turn out of his driveway, when he would prefer to turn left. Oravecz said developers intend to conduct a traffic study of the area and if it shows a need, a left turn stacking lane into the development could be included in the plan to ease traffic flow. The commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning request by a vote of 41. Tom Creque voted against approval. During the discussion, he said that he would prefer that the site be developed at a lower density. The Lucas County Plan Commission had voted unanimously to recommend approval of the rezoning. The matter will next go to a hearing of the township trustees for a decision on the request.

CRAIG STOUGH MAYOR’S MESSAGE

2014 Leaf Collection

It’s that time of year again! Like many of you, I have begun my annual ritual of raking leaves to the curb for collection and Mayor Craig Stough recycling by the city of Sylvania. As the trees in my yard have matured, the job of leaf raking has become larger and more time consuming. Leaf collection is a very big job in the city of Sylvania. Our “City of Trees” lives up to its namesake by having tens of thousands of trees throughout the community. Approximately 7,700 street trees are growing in street right-of-ways alone, with many thousands more in parks and on private lands, including the towering oaks and maples native to the area. Last year, city crews spent 3,293 hours loading and hauling 13,744 cubic yards of leaves, up from 12,499 cubic yards in 2012, to the city composting field on Yankee Road north of town. There the leaves are composted in wind rows and recycled into Sylvan-Gro, a rich compost the city sells by the bushel. Leaf collection is paid for with general fund dollars. A separate property tax assessment is not collected in Sylvania as it is in some nearby communities.

The annual leaf collection will begin the week of Oct. 20 with one or two Streets Division collection crews as needed following predetermined routes through the city. As more leaves are raked to the curb, two more crews will be working full time at leaf collection. In an effort to speed up leaf collection, temporary workers are used and overtime is offered to city workers in the forestry and streets divisions when needed. The city crews load leaves raked to the curb into leaf boxes on city trucks using diesel powered leaf loader vacuum units. Sticks, grass clippings, flowers, plants, etc,. can clog or break the leaf loaders and are not to be part of the leaf collection process. Those items should be set out separately for regular pick-up by the green recycling program of the forestry division scheduled for the first two weeks of November. Please do not pile leaves into the street – keep them on the grassy area next to the curb or pavement edge. Every year I see leaves piled way beyond the curb causing some streets to become dangerously narrow, and sometimes forming dams that block storm drainage and cause flooding. The leaves also clog catch basins and storm drains. City crews will move as quickly as possible to collect all the leaves. The crews will make multiple sweeps through the city, and made five rounds last year. If we have good weather and it doesn’t snow too much, and the leaves fall on schedule, the leaf collection will be completed by Dec. 8. But weather and trees don’t always cooperate. Thanks for your patience. City of Sylvania crews are making their rounds and will be there soon.

Letter to the Editor To the editor: What sadness I felt as I read of the retirement of Dr. Brad Rieger from his position as Superintendent of Sylvania Schools. I have spent my entire life in Sylvania yet cannot recall the name of even one previous superintendent. Although I am sure they were diligent at their position, Brad Rieger was outstanding. He immersed himself in the Sylvania community and was not just a figurehead but a presence representing our schools. He did his administrative job from morning until afternoon and then later, could be seen in the community at various Sylvania school functions. He knew the teachers well and many students by name. While attending these functions, he was available to parents listening to their concerns and chatting it up with students. Being incessantly begged by students for a “snow day” or “delay” would be enough for him to have stayed home but there he was! One of my children was the recipient of a hand-written letter congratulating her on an accomplishment and encouraging her to reach for future success. It was personal and heartfelt. The letter came in the mail written and addressed by him ... who does that? It is no wonder that he is retiring for he is a man who went above and beyond and he is tired! Best wishes and thank you Dr. Brad Rieger! A+ Amy Hartnett Northrup, Sylvania Township

The radios that run Wi-Fi, the cell phone signal, and Bluetooth are all vying for the power coming in, while your battery is trying its best to get some for itself.

quick charge. Hey, it is doing double duty when it is on so give it a rest. Besides, we could all use a few minutes away from our phones, right? Relax and talk with a friend – you know, in person – instead of anxiously watching your phone. Just about everyone remembers their parents keeping batteries in the refrigerator to make them last longer. But while this doesn’t do a lot for the life of a new battery, keeping your iPhone cool will help it charge faster. Now, this doesn’t mean to put your phone in the freezer. You’ll get some pretty bad results from that. What this means is: Don’t leave your phone to charge in the sun or in a hot car. If you’re using a mobile battery charger, don’t keep your phone in your pocket, either. Let your phone get some fresh air and it’ll return the favor with a somewhat faster charge. The last tip is one you can do right now, before you need a quick charge. Apple recommends that you go through at least one full charge cycle every month. This means you should charge your iPhone to 100% and let it fully discharge until it turns off by itself. By doing this in a full cycle without charging in between, you’ll keep the electrons in the battery flowing and make sure it has the longest life possible.

Windows Little Known Tricks Would you like to see two screens or windows open on the same monitor but exactly divided on each side? I really enjoy double tasking on my computer especially if one window is my email and the other side is a document I am working on. You can restore down (opposite of maximized window) then manipulate it to one side and do the same to another window. I am tired just thinking about it. Ok…Open two windows like let’s say the Internet and WordPad. Maximize both. One will be in front of the other. NOW…take your mouse down to an empty space on your task bar (the one with the clock on it). Right Click. See the mini window open up? Choose “Show Windows Side By Side.” Poof, the two windows are split exactly in half on the monitor. Click on one window at a time to utilize it. Got it? I love changing the background for my desktop but am bored with the choices that came with my computer. How about hundreds more? Open the control panel and click on personalize.

before the freezing temps of winter. Since this is my last column for the season, I have some little hints, and activities, to keep you amused and plodding along toward next spring, as the wind and snow howl outside. 1. Try to protect your evergreens near the road and driveway (and wherever you throw winter salt) from salt damage by putting up a screen of burlap or plastic. Don’t cover evergreens like some folks do, since they need to have light for those evergreen

needles in winter. The salt adheres to the foliage, and simply draws the moisture right out of the leaves, leaving the plant dessicated. The foliage without internal moisture dies, leaving one side (or all) brown and dead. If this is an insurmountable problem, replace the evergreens with deciduous shrubs (lose leaves in fall). They are dormant in winter. 2. Similarly, too liberal a use of salt can totally change the acidity/alkalinity of the soil, if allowed to sink in, killing anything growing there. In short, be careful with salt application. 3. When late January comes around, and if you live anywhere near tall trees, go outside just after sunset and listen. Several species of owls begin their mating calls in the JanuaryFebruary time, and you can hear them calling back and forth - - one high call and one lower. Totally cool! 4. While you are thinking about venturing outside this winter, stand in front of your home and just look (don’t worry about your neighbors’ looks). How does your front entry look? Walk up the front walk. Boring? In today’s mobile society, we come in and leave through the garage, and seldom even see our own front entry. But visitors do. If it is boring and uninteresting, go back inside and make a note to do something about it in spring. It will give you something to look forward to. 5. Remember that Robins do not go to

Naples, Fla., (“south for the winter”), as we were told as children. They quite often go just far enough south to always have open areas to forage for food (plane fare is more expensive today). Watch for them off and on during the winter, and you can see just what kind of winter we will be having over the subsequent few weeks. Often, some will be around here during January and February. 6. Here is the Indiana Farmers’ winter prediction formulas (or formulae. I majored in Genetics and Physiology many years ago). “The number of heavy snows (8 inches or higher) will be predicted by the number of foggy mornings in fall (we had four, so watch out!). Secondly, the number of total snows for the winter (sufficient to track a cat, according to my old neighbor) is predicted by adding together: 1. The date of the first snow and 2. The age of the moon on that date (count the days since the new moon). For example, if the first dusting is on the 16th of November, and that date is 25 days after the new moon (and it is), there will be 16+25=41 snows. We tried it out for 3 or 4 years in a row way back when, and every year, it was within 2 or 3. Remarkable! I’ll do it again this year and see. Try it. It really does help pass the lonely winter. 7. Eat out as often as you can. If the publisher (bless her heart) sees fit to ask me again, I would hope to see you again next spring. Watch for the crocuses!

“Frankly, I’ve seen ‘em all working from up here, and if I were redoing my yard, I’d call that Italian Gardener guy. He seems so much more attentive and much more creative. I can see the difference.”
