Lori and Veronica Vincent are co-owners of Earth to Oven.
BY LINDA SYZOWSKI
Mother and daughter team, Lori and Veronica Vincent, opened Earth to Oven at Haymarket Square in April, 2014.
Lori had made pies for Bud & Luke’s restaurant In the 80s and 90s, and then worked at Cooper Tire until 2008 when she decided to get back to what she loved to do most — baking pies! About the same time, Veronica had just finished culinary school at Washtenaw Community College and was working at Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor.
The two decided to create fresh, simple baked goods from scratch using no mixes or processed foods and local ingredients when possible. In 2010, they began working out of their home kitchen and selling at the farmers markets in Perrysburg and downtown Toledo. They soon outgrew their home kitchen and began using the CIFT (Center for Innovative Food Technology) kitchen in Bowling Green — a godsend for small entrepreneurs starting any kind of food business in the area. In 2014, the space at Haymarket Square became available, and Lori and Veronica jumped at the chance to expand their business and open a bakery in downtown Sylvania. Customers liked their baked goods so much they soon began requesting other items; so in 2015, they began serving soups, sandwiches, and/or salads at lunchtime, with offerings to fit the season. Three different soups are changed out every two weeks in fall and winter, and salads are offered in the summer along with sandwiches year round. This fall they will begin to offer dinner meals for pickup. And you can pick up a loaf of your favorite Zingerman’s bread any Wednesday or Friday.
Catering has also become a big part of their business. The catering menu lists their most popular items, but Lori and Veronica love to work with individual clients and customize menus specifically for an occasion. Veronica says, “We haven’t had anyone come to us yet with an event that was too large for us to handle.”

Sylvania teacher publishes book
Stephanie Duwve signs a copy of her book for Laura Rieger while Gail Bishop, Holly Anders and Peg Eding look on. Sylvania School Superintendent Adam Fineske gets his book signed by Stephanie Duwve. John and Kelly Duwve held a launch party for their daughter Stephanie’s recently released book, “There Once Was a Buckeye Who Lived in The Shoe.” Stephanie Duwve, a second grade teacher at Sylvan Elementary School, wrote the book four years ago as a project for her Children’s Literature class at The Ohio State University. “When we were assigned this project, I really wanted to nail it,” she recalled. “I was at a

football game and we must have been winning by a big score when the idea of Brutus living in the (Horse) Shoe came to me. I pulled out my phone and typed out my initial ideas, parodying ‘The Old Woman in a Shoe.’ I really had fun completing the project using a cardboard box for the cover and water colors for the illustrations. My book received a ‘Caldecott’ award from my instructor, which was very exciting. I also received an A on the project.” At the time, Duwve was a sophomore in elementary education and busy with school projects and other activities. When her mother suggested that she send her book to a publisher, at first she wasn’t sure she had the time or the money to follow through. Her mother prevailed and a year later she submitted her manuscript to Mascott Books. Two weeks later, she learned her book would be published and she began the search for an illustrator. The first one she chose was unable to complete the project, so she had to repeat the process. From start to finish, the book took four years, almost to the day, from Duwve’s first inspiration to the actual book launch party on Sept. 5. “This all has been very exciting. And it’s great to see my project actually in print,” she exclaimed. “I remember when I was a little girl, spending time in our basement writing stories, as I always wanted to be a writer,” she noted. “There Once Was a Buckeye Who Lived in The Shoe” is available on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble.

Locals share experiences with ‘A.P. Bio’ writers BY MEGHAN ROWE

Online at yourgood.news and find us on Facebook!
Local personalities, high school students and community members filled the Sylvania AdVantage office recently to present an authentic account of what it’s like to live in Toledo to those living across the country in sunny California. Donick Cary, a contributing producer of the NBC series “A.P. Bio”, which is set in Toledo, made contact with his cousin and Sylvania AdVantage graphic designer, Elissa Cary, and asked her to invite some local residents to share their Toledo experiences with the “A.P. Bio” writing team over a video call. Mike O’Brien, a 1995 graduate of St. Johns Jesuit and Blissfield native, is the show’s creator. He, along with Cary and fellow writers, participated in the call and warmly welcomed the stories told by those gathered – even after the video cut out and the video call became an audio call. Their questions ranged from asking about bad dating experiences to memorable teachers and which aspect of the city draws the most complaints. While the stories of dates gone wrong and accounts of teachers were intended to supplement the show’s comedic edge, the

Hope House is designed specifically for mothers recovering from addiction, allowing them to continue working on their recovery without being separated from their children, which is the main reason women leave treatment. Over $72,000 has been raised already for this effort. The Hope House, located at 3322 Cherry St., is expected to open in November. Tickets for the event are $60. For tickets or more information, visit zepfcenter.org or call 419841-7701 ext. 2296. “Don’t Skirt the Issue – Help” is an evening of music, friends and fun featuring T-City Groove and Guy in the 419 - Pat McCarty.

Among those huddled around the computer were Penny Collins, Elissa Cary, Addison Hinkle, Sneha Kamath and Meghan Rowe of The Sylvania AdVantage. Family members of the paper’s staff and interns included Southview junior Kyle Jones and St. Francis sophomore Nick Rowe. Friend of the paper Sarah Abdouni, an Ottawa Hills high school senior, also joined to weigh in on what high school is like today. Dan Jones, Toledo Walleye Strength and Conditioning Coach and owner of EAO sports and one of the hockey players he has trained, Brendan Furry, a St. Francis hockey player and USHL Omaha Lancers captain, Tyler Rudolph, creator of Brewstew films on YouTube, radio host Fred LeFebvre of 1370 WSPD iHeart Media and Melissa and Jon Woyame, a nurse and a software developer, were among the local personalities who recounted what life in Toledo entails.

Ready for the Race
Sylvania survivor helps women to get ‘road-ready’ and to the finish line BY MARY HELEN DARAH
Mercy Health and Dave’s Running Shop have partnered to help get women “roadready” for the upcoming Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, to be held on Sept. 30 in downtown Toledo. “Ready for the Race” is a women’s-only (including coaches) training program created to prepare women for the annual event. This is the 25th anniversary of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and Sylvanian Cheryl Walter, a breast cancer survivor, microbiologist and faculty member at the Toledo Ballet, is one the “Ready for the Race” trainers helping women of all fitness levels reach their goals. “I am on the Race committee and wanted to be a bridge between Komen and Dave’s Running Shop and serve as a coach for the new Ready for the Race program,” stated Walter. “My first Komen Race I ever competed in was in 2015. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014. Running became my mental therapy. I never ran before in my life. I was always a ballerina, but I needed those endorphins. I can run ten miles and then clean the house. It is very positive for me. I watch butterflies go by and clear my head.” The main objective of “Ready for the Race” is to get women ready for Race for the Cure. “We have women who have never
run,” said Walter. “At the first practice, we had women who literally just ‘got off the coach’. Some women were walking, and some were running. There are so many benefits of running in a group. No matter what your fitness level, people cheer everyone on. A lot of people have a tough time between mile one and two. We are there to keep people going.” One of the most rewarding experiences for Walter is seeing women discover their capabilities. “They are capable of anything and everything they ever thought possible,” she stated. “This program is not just for breast cancer survivors. In fact, most women are not survivors. There probably aren’t too many crazy running survivors like me.” Walter added, “Most women have not been in a competitive race. I can’t wait for them to cross that finish line. It is an awesome experience. Once you finish the race you feel there is nothing you cannot accomplish. Whether you walk or sprint across the finish line it is a wonderful achievement. Crossing the finish line for me meant that I had been blessed with one more year of survival. There are so many mixed emotions, but it is my fourth year as a survivor and race competitor. There are no words for that. I hope to see everyone at the finish line on Sept. 30.”
Mercy Health and Dave’s Running Shop are partnering to help these amazing ladies get road-ready for the Race for the Cure, on Sept. 30.
Library's fall Film Focus series returns
The Toledo Lucas County Public Library’s fall 2018 Film Focus schedule features powerful, independent films. The series will be shown at the King Road Branch in Sylvania on Mondays starting Sept. 24 and running through Oct. 29. Film Focus is free and open to the public. All showings begin at 6:45 p.m. The first film featured on Sept. 24, titled “In Syria,” is a 2017 drama in Arabic about a mother who attempts to keep her family safe as war rages and a sniper lies in wait outside her home in Damascus. It was the winner of the Audience Award at Berlinale and was directed by Philippe Van Leeuw and is 85 minutes long. Future films include “Jasper Jones,” on Oct. 1, a drama set during the summer of 1969 that is a coming-of-age story about Charlie Bucktin, a bookish boy of 14, who
embarks on a dangerous journey to find a young girl's killer. “Hotel Salvation” on Oct. 8 tells the story of a man faced with his father's untimely and bizarre demand to die in the holy city of Varanasi and attain Salvation. The son is left with no choice but to embark on the journey. On Oct. 15 a documentary, “Paris Opera,” is a behind-the-scenes look at the Paris Opera, under the direction of Stephane Lissner. “In Between” on Oct. 22 shows the life of three Palestinian women living in an apartment in Tel Aviv trying to find a balance between traditional and modern culture. The final film on Oct. 29, “Somers Town,” is a black-and-white study of a social environment in London, concentrating on a pair of unlikely new friends and the girl they both fancy.
Bakeries throughout the region fired up their ovens to donate to “For the Love of Pie,” a benefit for Partners in Education held on Sept. 13 at the Toledo Club in downtown Toledo. This new fundraiser celebrated all things pie and all things PIE (Partners in Education). Ten bakeries are donated pies for the event, including Bakery Unlimited, Brieschke’s, Cinnamon Stick, Extra Virgin, Original Sub Shop, Penta Career Culinary Arts Program, Schmucker’s, Toledo Country Club, MacQueen’s and Wixey’s. Pie tasting took place in the Toledo Club’s Belvedere Room. Currently Partners in Education is serving over 1,000 school children, more than 3,000 parents, hundreds of area nonprofits and thousands of volunteers with educational programming and services, that include college and career readiness, early childhood literacy,
volunteer training, nonprofit best practices workshops, and classes in parent leadership . In 2019, Partners in Education will celebrate 25 years of service to the community. They are grateful for the long-time support of the Rotary Club of Toledo and event sponsors KeyBank, Principal Business Enterprises, Inc., The Andersons, IBEW Local #8, Toledo Federation of Teachers and Ann and Bill Riddle. Partners in Education of Toledo (Partners) is a local nonprofit founded in 1994 by the Rotary Club of Toledo to “enhance student success through community engagement.” PIE connects businesses, nonprofit organizations, faith communities and institutions of higher learning to facilitate collaborations that support student success in Toledo area K-12 schools.

Honoring Those Who Serve
Jill Johnson, APRN, CNP Coordinator, Survivor Program at Hickman Cancer Center Caring for others for over 40 years
BY MARY HELEN DARAH
“I love what I do,” stated Jill Johnson, APRN, CNP. “I have spent the last four decades holding people’s hands as they take their last breaths, when they are lonely, scared and/or in pain.” Johnson graduated from the Toledo Hospital School of Nursing at the age of 21. The RN then received a Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Supervision followed by a Master’s in Healthcare Administration. She worked as a staff nurse at St. Charles and then at Toledo Hospital in intensive care. From there she went to St. Vincent’s and became a Nursing Supervisor at the age of 26. “I worked in nursing management for 20 years in various hospitals and home care. I became an administrator of a small home health care agency, then attended the Medical College of Ohio to obtain my MSN/Family Nurse Practitioner degree in 2002,” recalled Johnson. “I practiced in a family practice and a surgical practice before landing at the ProMedica Hickman Cancer Center. As of October, I will have been here for eight years.” Larry and Jill Johnson with Maggie and Bella

A superhero of survivors
“I have the pleasure of helping survivors understand and get through their cancer journey,” said Johnson. “As of 2020, there will be 18 million cancer survivors in the United States. One of the things I do in my current position is to make sure that survivors are getting screenings in a timely manner. I work with patients with all types of cancers, which makes the job a bit more challenging. Most larger institutions address specific cancers in their survivor programs. We tackle them all. I educate them on potential long-term effects of treatment and provide a fitness program (free of charge) as exercise, shown through multiple studies, helps lower the risk of recurrence. I also offer psychological support, referring them out when necessary. One of the most important things I do is to formulate a care plan for moving forward. As coordinator of the Survivor program, I also provide events to celebrate the patient’s survivorship. I serve as a support and a sounding board. I provide them with information and answer any questions. I also provide reassurances that what they’re going through is normal and explain to them that the cancer journey never ends but that being a survivor can be a wonderful phase of life and an opportunity to give back.”
No time like the present
Although there are exceptions, cancer patients who have just finished treatment at Hickman usually find their way to “Super Jill.” She recalled, “I had a patient 10 years out from treatment. At first, she told me she wasn’t sure why she was referred to me. She recently sent me a letter saying she couldn’t believe how much information and support she received and how it was time well spent.”
Every day is a gift
One of the many reasons Johnson can relate to her patients is due to being a survivor herself. “I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma at the age of 49 with no symptoms,” she stated. “It was smoldering for five years. I had constant monitoring, but I had no treatment at that time. You don’t treat it unless it becomes more active. Year five it became more active and was treated with chemotherapy. I then had a bone marrow (stem cell) transplant, which totally wipes out your immune system. I was able to be my own donor, which helped. When I was diagnosed multiple myeloma was incurable (it still is, and you can expect relapses) and I was given 3-5 years of survivorship. I have been blessed and in complete remission for nine years. When it’s appropriate to share with my patients, I tell them about what I learned from my experience. I share that cancer changes you, usually for the better. I truly believe I was divinely guided through the experience. It strengthened my spirituality. I treat every day as a gift. Little things don’t bother me. I overlook the everyday annoyances. I thank God every day for a second chance at life. It is the greatest gift I’ve ever been given.”
Moving forward
Johnson believes that there is an element of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) that survivors experience. “A sight, a sound, or a smell can trigger a bad memory,” stated Johnson. “I can see people in the chemo chair and it takes me back. I make myself walk through the chemo bay for an opportunity to encourage someone with a smile and be thankful for what I have. It brings you back to reality and gives you an intense attitude of gratitude. I truly believe I went through the cancer experience for a reason. I mean, look what I do for a living. What better person to have in this role than someone who has been through it. I am very blessed and looking forward to another decade of holding hands and caring for others.”

#CharlieRocks #KindnessRocks is party theme
Some of the rocks painted in memory of Charlie. Friends joined Lisa Taylor and her family, including Sylvanians Judy and Len Malec, in her Sylvania Township home Sept. 4 to celebrate the life of her son Charlie and to paint rocks. Taylor wanted the celebration to also raise awareness of DIPG, the disease that Charlie waged a valiant battle against for nearly a year. “I try to raise awareness of this horrific disease whenever I can, as there needs to be an end to this. More than 90 percent of children diagnosed with DIPG will die within two years of diagnosis and most children will live only nine months. The Michael Mosier Defeat DIPG Foundation, (defeatDIPG.com) is committed to finding a cure,” Taylor explained. “Charlie’s birthday was Sept. 6 and as that day approached, I wanted to find a way to celebrate my incredible, sweet, silly little boy,” Taylor reflected. “I recently got the idea of a rock painting party from Megan Murphy and the Kindness Rocks Project (thekindnessrocksproject.com/).” According to Taylor, Murphy’s motto is “One message at just the right moment can change someone’s entire day, outlook on life,” a
belief that is most meaningful to her. “Charlie enjoyed painting rocks so I thought this would be a good project and a way to celebrate him. In the middle of our rock painting party, we got a much needed rain shower to cool the 90 degree evening. Charlie even brought us a rainbow,” she said. Taylor credits Murphy for the inspiration behind the planning of the celebration. “I am very thankful for the Kindness Rocks Project for giving me and Charlie’s family and friends all over the country this opportunity to grieve as well as remember and celebrate him. We look forward to spreading kind messages throughout the community with #CharlieRocks# KindnessRocks.” Taylor plans to establish a Kindness Rocks garden somewhere in the area. In addition, Taylor wanted to emphasize the importance of supporting myangelworks.org, an organization that raises awareness and funds for children with cancer. “They say that until a cure is found, they will work to make a difference in the lives of children battling the disease,” Taylor said.

SACIC’s public meeting solicits community input on organization’s future direction BY ERIKA BURI/KATE FINESKE
The Sylvania Area Community Improvement Corporation held a public meeting on July 25 facilitated by Tedd Long
of Managed Care Advisory Group. This meeting was part of a continuing effort by the SACIC to stay relevant to the Sylvania Community. Following the creation of a strategic plan, the public meeting provided an opportunity for input from community members and leaders to weigh-in on the future direction of the SACIC. “This planning session, moderated by Tedd, was very beneficial to the CIC as we had key leaders present who could weigh in on where they thought the Sylvania Area CIC needed to go for the future,” said Bill Sanford, Economic Director for the city of Sylvania. A vibrant downtown and streamlined economic incentives were considered the most important resources the community has to attract or encourage community/economic development. The biggest challenges to encouraging and attracting economic development included a lack of space and the perception of high property taxes. As a result, participants felt that a Joint Economic Development Zone and an increase in infrastructure would be the most important development projects that SACIC could participate in over the next five years. “We now have an updated and clear picture on our future direction,” Sanford added.

“We have expanded and have outgrown our space,” noted Tim Whetro, CFP, of Whetro Financial. The financial consulting firm is located in Liberty Square Building III, 4169 Holland-Sylvania Rd. “We worked with the Liberty Square property manager, Bobbie Ziviski, and have had our office space here since first starting the firm in 2003. She was able to accommodate our space needs by relocating another tenant who wished to downsize office space to our former space. And we were able to take his space that is perfect for us now. We were fortunate that we could just move across the hall to have the space we need,” he added. “This was an easy transition, “ Ziviski pointed out. “We were even able to move the tenant signs by swapping suite numbers so that both companies can use their original letterheads and business cards,” she added. “Bobbie and her management team are great and so easy to work with,” Operations Manager Cheri Montgomery pointed out. “She is so helpful and makes things happen.” Whetro has been a financial advisor for the past 29 years.

Santa Fe Corn Pudding
BY JENNIFER RUPLE It’s no secret. My husband and I are green chile fanatics! We’re so crazy about the spicy fruits that each year we pre-order 60 pounds (we do share with friends) from the green chile capital of the world, Hatch, New Mexico. As soon as they are delivered, we (mostly hubby, the Chile Master of the Midwest) spend two days roasting, sweating and prepping three varieties of peppers for freezing - Big Jim (medium hot), Sandia (hot) and Lumbre (extreme-caution hot). After three seasons of experimentation, we’ve become experts in the roasting arena. Chile Master even created a roasting machine to facilitate the process. A standard gas grill just doesn’t make it for him. For those who want to give authentic green chiles a try, they can be ordered through mid-October from hatch-green-
4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears), divided 2 large eggs 1 ½ cups half-and-half 1 teaspoon kosher salt ½ cup chopped roasted green chiles 1 cup crushed buttery, salted crackers, divided 4 tablespoons butter, melted, divided ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese or pepper jack cheese Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or oil. Pulse 1 ¾ cups corn kernels in food processor until mixture is puréed but still a bit chunky, about 5 pulses. Set aside. Whisk together eggs, half-and-half and salt in a large bowl. Add whole and puréed corn kernels, green chiles, ¼ cup crackers, and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Stir to combine. Spoon mixture into baking dish and scatter cheese over top. Mix together remaining ¾ cup cracker crumbs and 1 tablespoon melted butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle over cheese. Bake pudding until puffed and golden brown, 45-50 minutes. The edges should be a bit crusty and the center still a little jiggly. (Recipe by Bill Jamison and Cheryl Alters Jamison)

Ottawa Lake Heritage Farm aims to be complete food resource Cody Murnen
throughout the colder months. An indoor environment is perfect for growing micro greens. “Each environment is managed differently, but they come together to help us offer a well-rounded variety of food,” said Murnen. Ottawa Lake Heritage Farm is a regular vendor at the Sylvania Farmers Market on Tuesday afternoons and is a nomadic vendor at other area markets such as the downtown Toledo Farmers Market and its Westgate location. “We show up when we have enough product,” said Murnen.
Community Supported Agriculture
BY JENNIFER RUPLE Cody Murnen is passionate about food. He’s passionate about where it comes from, how it’s grown and teaching others about it. The University of Toledo professor and substitute teacher at Jennifer Ruple Washington Local Schools is the creator of Ottawa Lake Heritage Farm, a one-acre farm dedicated to sustainable techniques and philosophies. Located at 4337 Smith Rd., just across the Ohio-Michigan border, the farm is the result of two years of hard work by Murnen and his small crew. “I wanted to start a farm that was not only a resource for food but also a resource for learning what to do with it. There are a lot of health issues related to poor eating, and I wanted to teach people how to make themselves healthy with food,” he explained. Murnen became interested in food while he was studying environmental science at UT. “I got involved with the UT Outdoor Classroom Garden and started learning about farming from the science aspect,” he
said. After earning his master’s degree, Murnen spent six years in California where he participated in the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) program. “As a WWOOFer, you basically volunteer and find farmers who need help. You can really pinpoint the style of farming you want to learn.” When he returned to the Toledo area, Murnen had an opportunity to rent a home and a small section of land from friends of his family. At that point, he began to build Ottawa Lake Heritage Farm. Murnen maintains the farm mostly by himself, although he does get help from family and friends. “I recruited two students this year. I’m really trying to get the younger generation involved because there is a huge gap. I’m known as Farmer Cody at Whitmer High School,” he smiled.
The farm’s main source of revenue comes from its Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, a program in which customers buy shares in the farm, and in return receive food each week. Because of its small-scale operation, Ottawa Lake Heritage Farm offers 16 shares on a first come, first serve basis. Each week, CSA members receive multiple bags containing vegetables, herbs and fruit. “Food never sits in our hands longer than 12 hours. We have to keep it moving so it’s really fresh,” Murnen said. In addition, the farm works with local
Growing Environments
At Ottawa Lake Heritage Farm, crops are grown in three separate environments. In the field, Murnen grows plants such as carrots, green beans, kale, swiss chard, garlic, squash, cantaloupe and ground cherries. Heatloving plants such as tomatoes, okra, cucumbers and peppers thrive in the hoop house which also allows the farm to produce
producers, so it can offer chicken, rabbit, eggs and even kombucha to its members. “We like to spoil our members. We want to be a complete, healthy food source,” he said.
Sustainable Techniques
Murnen believes in taking care of the earth. “We don’t use any tractors. We use a broad fork for small scale tilling, so we’re not disrupting the soil,” he explained. “We don’t spray intensive chemicals. We use natural predators like praying mantises and ladybugs to control aphids and other bugs to fight insects. We try to go as natural as we can.” Murnen also encourages recycling and offers his CSA shares in reusable bags and baskets which members return each week. To cut down on fossil fuels, Murnen transports his vegetables to farmers markets in his Veggie Velo, a bicycle and trailer system. “With our sustainable practices we’re really trying to build a culture of people who trust us and know us in terms of agriculture.”

little sisters, both of which go to Maplewood with me. Many things have happened to me in life, some good, some bad, and some that you are about to learn about. Earlier this year, I attended Author Quest, a writing camp held by a popular author, Johnathan Rand. This is where my writing was encouraged by many other young authors, each having a love of writing. We learned many different things there from many different people, each one having a specific part of writing that they taught. Overall, it was a once in a life time experience, and I hope that I am able to go there next year. My sisters and I are all involved in some sort of music. All three of us have been playing piano since we were four, taking lessons at Pro Music, located on Main Street. We are also in the University of Toledo choir, or the Northwestern Ohio Children’s choir. It has been said that the choir will be performing at small concerts and other events in the area. I have been given the honor of writing in this newspaper, and am very excited over how close I am to my dream. I hope that you have enjoyed this article, for it is my first time writing something similar to this. You can look forward to seeing my writing in the next newspaper, but until then, goodbye!

Annual Zero-Waste lunch planned In its effort to model environmental sustainability and demonstrate the Franciscan commitment to respect the gift of all creation, the Sylvania Franciscan Village hosts the 8th Annual Zero-Waste Lunch for its member organizations on Wednesday, Oct. 3 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Franciscan Center of Lourdes University, 6832 Convent Blvd. in Sylvania. The Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania will join employees of Sylvania Franciscan Ministries and Lourdes University students, faculty and staff for a delicious lunch and festivities. Students from St. Joseph School of Sylvania and others from the wider community will participate as well. The goal of the zero-waste luncheon is to create as little waste as possible, beginning with the preparation of the food. Accompanying
service ware is completely compostable and environmentally friendly, with composting services provided by Hirzel Farms of Luckey, Ohio. Guests are encouraged to bring their own reusable water bottles for refreshments. In past years, this entire event has generated less than a pound of landfill waste. Along with lunch, participants have the opportunity to win raffle prizes and take part in a Zero-Waste Shopping Challenge to learn how to make more sustainable choices at the grocery store. “The Zero Waste Lunch educates and empowers individuals of all ages to be better stewards. As a community, we look forward to this event each year,” said Sophia Lloyd, Sylvania Franciscan Village Director. For information, contact Laurie Bertke at lbertke@sistersosf.org or 419-824-3515.
Three hundred business leaders, friends and family will gather to honor and support the work of the Sylvania Franciscans at the 19th Annual Franciscan Gala. The event takes place on Saturday, Sept. 22 starting at 6 p.m. It will be held at the Franciscan Center, 6832 Convent Blvd. in Sylvania. The proceeds will benefit the Sisters of St. Francis, known for being joyful servants among all people. Honorary Chairs

Lourdes receives DOJ grant Lourdes University President Mary Ann Gawelek and Director of Public Safety/Title IX Coordinator Michelle McDevitt have announced receiving a $300,000 grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Justice to assist the institution in enhancing the safety of students, faculty, and staff through the prevention of and response to sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking (SADVS). The grant will be administered over a three-year period beginning Oct. 1. The University has identified six objectives that will be made possible through the grant. 1. Create a Coordinated Community Response Team to review, revise and create policies and campus engagement activities to enhance awareness and prevention of and response to SADVS. 2. Create a project coordinator position on campus to facilitate coordinated education, prevention and response efforts. 3. Implement mandatory online Alpha Point training for all incoming new students, including freshmen and transfers; in-person required training for new student orientation; and university prevention strategies for the full
campus. 4. Develop and implement training for campus safety, investigators of conduct, faculty and staff. 5. Provide intentional inclusivity of SADVS messaging and programming for racial or ethnic minority students. 6. Provide effective links to victim services and intervention. “Lourdes fosters a welcoming and inclusive educational environment. Our value of reverence demands equal and respectful treatment of all individuals. The Department of Justice grant allows us the opportunity to further build our programming and training to assure equal treatment and safety for all students,” said Dr. Gawelek. The Princeton Review has consistently ranked Lourdes University with a 96 or higher Quality of Life score. Student respondents credit Lourdes for the emphasis placed on service to others, of giving back to the community and for being a “perfect environment for learning.” Lourdes is one of four Ohio higher education institutions receiving the DOJ grant.
Lourdes University is delighted to present a special performance by El Corazon de Mexico Ballet Folklorico on Wednesday, Oct. 24 at the Franciscan Center, 6832 Convent Blvd. in Sylvania.

BY MARY HELEN DARAH
I have a daughter that “shoes” people … and I couldn’t be prouder. Helena, a special educator for the Sylvania City School district, has always been an empathetic soul. She learned American Sign Language in the third grade. There wasn’t a dry eye on a bus in downtown when Helena Chicago approached a woman who was signing to her caregiver. The then 8-year-old signed, “Hi, I’m happy Helena,” to the woman. They began to have a conversation in sign. The woman asked my child if she had always been deaf. Helena informed her that she was a “hearing girl.” When the woman asked, “Then why do you sign?” Helena replied, “So I can talk with you.” It, therefore, came as no surprise when she told me that she was going to go help build and teach at a school in Msambweni, Kenya, sans toilet, running water and a real bed, for the summer. I must admit I was less than thrilled with the news. In order to get to her destination, she had to fly Air Canada from Detroit to Toronto, hop on an Air Tunisia Flight to Istanbul, then on to Africa. Once she landed in Kenya, she had to locate a sign-holding man who would take her two hours away to the village by taxi, all without a working cell phone. It was a mom’s worst nightmare. I couldn’t breathe. I could eat, however. FYI, baked goods are especially lovely when you’re stress eating. I finally got myself together on the return drive from dropping her off in Detroit and having an emotional meltdown after the airport parking attendant grilled me on why I would ever allow my
daughter to do such a thing. My golden retriever greeted me upon my arrival home. She rushed up to the room where Helena had been staying before her big trip. I tried to retrieve the retriever from her room when I discovered she had left some very important items on her bed that should have been packed in her one and only duffle bag. Knowing she hadn’t boarded yet, I called her, and told her of the massive error. She told me that she intentionally took out the needed items. Why? She needed the room … for children’s shoes. Helena, my analytical daughter who calls herself a “moderate,” truly has the unique gift of understanding and respecting the viewpoints of others. She is supportive of peaceful dissent. There is nothing political about her distress over seeing people burn their Nike shoes in protest. But she’s had the experience of watching one of her fellow teachers in Msambweni hold a raffle of toys and shoes for her students. Even though the children had no toys, and wanted them desperately, the majority chose the shoes. In fact, one little boy chose a pair of pink, sparkly sandals either for himself or for a family member. The cost of certain Nike shoes exceeds the majority
Maya Angelou once wrote, “I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.”
of those student’s monthly family income. Many of Helena’s students in Africa would walk miles to get to school in their bare feet. Having shoes means opportunity. Having shoes means hope. Maya Angelou once wrote, “I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.” I am thankful I have a courageous daughter who “walks a mile in other people’s shoes,” but also stands in them, feels the dreams in their hearts and “shoes” them.

Sylvania–Then and Now BY GAYLEEN GINDY LOOKING BACK
Our next house, as we move south on Main Street toward Erie Street, is the house at 5822 Main St.. This house was constructed in 1892 while Julia A. Warren still owned this property. Her son Haskell was building houses at the time and he was probably responsible for building this home. In 1900, Mrs. Warren transferred this home to her daughter-in-law, Alice Warren. The records for this property show many owners over the years: 1900 – Alice Warren 1919 – Gustav & Carolina Thamletz 1935 – Carolina Thamletz 1938 – James W. & Viola Lenardson 1944 – Ray West 1945 – Roger & Alice Williams 1954 – Frederick M. & Anne B. Marlo 1961 – Albert & Dorothy Cassidy 1977 – John W. & Gail M. Dunn 1977 – Thomas J. Belter 1982 – Mary Lou Rush 1993 - Lora A. Wisher 1998 – Mary A. Wisher 1998 – John R. Russell 2001 – Louisville Title Agency 2002 – Steven J. & Dawn M. Miller 2002 – Todd & Donna Schroyer 2003 – Donna L. Schroyer 2006 – Kent D. Riesen, etal.
2009 – Kent D. Riesen 2012 – Brian P. & Lynn M. Kezur Starting with 1919, Gustav and Carolina Thamletz purchased this home and they are found living here in the 1920 and 1930 census. In the 1920 census Gustav was 55 years old, owned the home, free of mortgage and owned a shoe store. He is shown as coming to the United States from Germany in 1889 and was naturalized as a citizen in 1895. Living on the same parcel above the garage was their son, Otto G. Thamletz – 21 years – born in Michigan - Occupation – shoemaker – own shop; Blanche – wife – 23 years – born in Mich; Maxine E. Thamletz – daughter – 1 year. In June of 1921 a building permit was granted to Gust Thamletz allowing him to install a bathroom and a basement. Lee Sheldon was listed as the builder. By the 1930 census they are still living here. The house was valued at $8,000 and George R. and Irene Bowers were renting the space above the garage. Gustav was listed as 65 years old and Carolyn was listed as 62 years old. Mr. and Mrs. Thamletz sold this house in 1938 to James and Viola Lenardson. Mr. Lenardson and Viola M. Becker had been married in 1919 in Riga, Michigan. and appear to have stayed living there. In May of 1938 J.W. Lenardson was issued a building permit to put a new roof on the bathroom, hardwood floors on the first floor and a new porch floor. John Knepper was the builder.

1997 In the 1940 census, the house was rented to John H. Malloy and his wife Martha and their children: John Malloy, Jr., Barbara J. Malloy, and Susanne Malloy. John Mallloy, Sr., was listed as being employed as a salesman for a gas company. The Lenardsons sold the house in 1944 to Ray West, who owned it for one year. He was the local horse dealer and probably did not live here during this time. He sold it in 1945 to Roger and Alice Williams. They owned the house for nine years. Family tree records show that Roger Williams and Alice Hills were married in 1921. They were living in Toledo in the 1930 and 1940 census on North Haven Avenue, and he was listed as an electrical engineer. They appear to have moved to Sylvania in 1945 and lived here until 1954 while owning this home. Records show that Roger Williams was elected to the Sylvania Board of Education in 1949. An article in the Sylvania Sentinel in January of 1946 reported that Roger Burton Williams, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Roger B. Williams of 5822 Main St. was a member of the Naval Unit at Brown University and was named to the Navy Class A list for high scholastic standing. In 1954 Frederick and Anne Marlo purchased this home. Lucas County marriage records show that Frederick Marlo married Anna Baumgartner in 1952, daughter of Ira Baumgartner, long-time superintendent of schools in Sylvania. Mr. Marlo was employed as a teacher at Burnham High School, Rogers High School in Toledo and then Sylvania High School. The first Suburban Directory was published in 1957 and this directory shows Fred Marlo living in this home, and Robert B. Tilley renting the unit above the garage. In June of 1957 a building permit was granted to Fred Marlo allowing him to lay a new porch floor, and install new posts. Starting with the 1958 suburban directory, from 1958 through 1961, Fred Marlo is listed living in the home. From 1961 to 1963, Albert
2018 Cassidy lived here. From 1964 to 1969, Gail Peery was living here. The 1970 to 1971 directory listed Richard Hague-Rogers. From 1972 through 1975 the directories indicate that Paul Wening was living here. From 1976 to 1978, John Dunn is listed living here. Starting with the 1979 directory Thomas Belter is listed living here through the 1983 directory. Mary Rush is listed here in the 1984 and 1985 directories. William Morrissette is listed in the 1986 directory, and as of the 1989 directory Andrew Garrett was renting the home. In 1990 the directory listed Ralph Buchholz, the 1992 directory listed Alan Wrase, the 1994 listed Lora Wisher, the 1996 listed Steve Wisher and Bryce Richter, and then the 1997 listed Donald Wisher. As of the 1998 directory, John and Teresa Russell were listed, and then as of the 2004 through 2009 directories Donna Schroyer was living here. The 2010 directory shows Kent Riesen, the 2011 directory shows Richard A Jr. and Lindsay Morris, the 2012 shows Donna Hall, and as of the 2013 directory Bernadette Thompson is living here. The unit above the garage was listed through the years in these directories as 5820 Main St. and there was someone listed at that address through the 2000 suburban directory. In 1989 the owner of the property was required by law to apply to the Sylvania Zoning Office requesting a special use permit to allow the apartment above the garage to be used as a private residence, even though it had been used for that purpose since before the 1920s. In 1995, Mary Wisher was granted a building permit to add a dormer over the existing dining room and remodel the interior of the existing garage. In 2002, Steve Miller requested a building permit allowing him to demolish the old garage that had the second floor apartment, and build a new detached 20-foot by 30-foot garage. Records show that Brian and Lynn Kezur still own the home today, and they currently live in the home to the north.
UT Theatre and Film season announced
The University of Toledo Department of Theatre and Film will present three live theatre productions, six feature films and the annual Student Filmmakers Showcase during its 20182019 season.

Performances are Nov. 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11. Foss said, “On the 100th Anniversary of the end of the ‘War to End All Wars,’ we follow the story of a lost generation, facing many of the same issues we face today, and paying the ultimate cost for lessons history continues to challenge us to learn.” In February, the department will present “The Pillowman” by Martin McDonagh. It will be directed by assistant lecturer, Quincy Joyner. A fiction writer in a police state is interrogated about the content of his stories, which bear a frightening resemblance to a series of recent child murders.

Each of the characters finds themselves off on quests that are woven together. Originally released in 1986, the musical won several Tony Awards, including Best Score, Best Book, and Best Actress in a
Musical when it was presented on Broadway in 1987. The 2014 Disney film version was nominated for several Academy Awards and Golden Globes.

I Make House Calls
JANIS WE B E R
THE MOUSE TRAP
Have You Seen This Email in Your Inbox?
“Corporation has stopped the windows services in your computer to renew the windows license key, Janis Weber please call 866-9780708. Let me repeat. This is very important call to notify you that your Microsoft Windows license key has been expired and we’re computer, so Microsoft Corporation have stopped the windows services, and we’ll computer to renew the windows license key, please call 866-9780708. I will repeat 860-600-9780”. Do you see the contradiction of the phone numbers? This is the exact verbiage you will someday get in your email or even on the phone. If you call the number out of curiosity you will be encouraged by a very sweet and knowledgeable person to allow them remote access to your computer. Within a minute they can copy everything on your hard drive. Believe me, there is some valued information for the bad guy even in your computer. Next, they will suggest allowing them to straighten out your issues, then report back that very little was found except perhaps one large file. For hundreds of dollars they will fix everything. Payment can be made by credit, debit or even a banking account number with the routing number. The red flags should now be beating you over the head and you shoud be thinking,
‘how can I have let them touch my computer in the first place?’ At this point they have a live person at the end of a valid phone line. That’s you! You decide to simply hang up. Oops…the phone is ringing again and again over the next few days. You may have even picked it up and given them your opinion of what is going on. They don’t care. This is fun for them. Let’s imagine you had decided it was not wise to offer anyone your credit card information so you chose your checking account information. Remember, this person on the line is a professional thief. They are smooth talkers and prey on your intelligence and common sense. (Wait… where did you place that)? Ok, now that you have gotten rid of the phone pest, you realize someone has all your data and perhaps you have even supplied a bank account number. Off to the bank you go to get all new account numbers, you must change all your passwords in every account and if you really want to feel better, change your email address too since every account you have has this address. You must contact them separately, not through a mass email. The culprit may be on your email list by now. How much of your precious time and sanity have you spent because of a horrible few moments on the phone with this predator? Think about the stress and uncertainty of every action you take. I have one thing to say: DO NOT TOUCH THIS EMAIL, OR IF ON THE PHONE, USE NO WORDS, JUST HANG UP AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES. If the caller ID isn’t showing, don’t even answer your phone. Any action on your part will cause them to continue to haunt you. If they do not talk to you or you don’t touch anything, you are most likely safe. I would at least change your email password. Make it long and strong (try 30-50 characters). It is not for your convenience, it is to keep predators out. Report the message shown at the top of the page to your Internet provider and your email carrier. It may help them get caught. If you can block numbers, at least a couple will not show up again. It is an ongoing situation and we are all sitting prey.

R ICK COZZ A
THE ITALIAN GARDENER “I’m going to turn on the heat, just to take the chill off,” Judy said this morning. We do this at some point every late summer/early fall, when the high temperature is in the 60s. And, true to form, I answered, “What Rick Cozza chill?” finally enjoying the comfort of a house at ideal temperature, after a long, hot summer. It’s not quite autumn, but no longer really summer. And so it is in your yard or garden this time of year as well. Growth has stopped on your permanent plantings, like trees and shrubs (for about a month now, in fact). Plants are hardening off the new growth they put on over the spring and early summer, to survive the upcoming frigid temperatures (sorry, but it’s coming). This hardening off occurs in steps, beginning with the shorter days of late August, accelerated by the cooler temps of September, and really ramps up with the first frost in October. An early frost, while not appealing to us humans, gives your plant friends a longer time to harden for winter, and is a good thing for them. Remember that trees and shrubs have already set their growth buds for next spring at the ends of their newest shoots from this year, so don’t prune now, or you are cutting off next year’s growth. Pruning will also encourage a quick new growth shoot from the plant to compensate, which will not have time to harden off before winter. And, for those with flowering trees and shrubs (Azaleas, Crabapples, Lilacs, Forsythia, etc.), remember that flowers are generally set the season BEFORE flowering, so a springflowering Lilac already has its flower buds ready to go. Pruning now . . . GONE! No spring flowers. Which is why many Hydrangeas never bloom, since fall is “ . . . a great time to cut it back, while I’m raking leaves . . .” Don’t! As an example, my Flowering Dogwood is covered in biscuit-shaped flower buds right now, ready to go for next spring. In contrast, summer-

flowering shrubs like Rose Of Sharon set flower buds a season ahead, in spring. Think ahead if you have any inclination to prune at any time. Do some planning now for fall, which is just around the corner. Fall is a great time to plant trees and shrubs, given the cooler, wetter fall season. Look to replace your old dinosaur Yews and Boxwoods with something with great summer or fall color. Look at the mulch around your planting beds, and give it a boost to 2-3” to protect your investment for the winter. While you are at it, scatter some general-purpose fertilizer around the beds, since it has likely been awhile since you did it last. And look at the plants that you have along your driveway and walkways (places you will likely throw some Snow Melter this winter). Evergreens tend more toward salt damage over the winter than do plants that lose their leaves in winter. We tend to see significant damage on Yews and Boxwoods on the “salted side” of the shrub after winter. Replacing them with a more-colorful Fothergilla or Dwarf Barberry will solve the problem, and give you great fall color as well. Weeds were a massive problem this year nearly everywhere, due to the heat and the rain coming in 2-3” deluges rather than gentler showers. Try to get them out now, if you can, since most are genetically set up to seed prolifically in fall. Our neighborhood replaced its entry gardens this year, and we were infested with the past years’ unremoved weed seed that nearly overwhelmed the new plantings years later. Who knew? So, as Judy and I wrestle with the thermostat inside, there are a multitude of things to attend to outside (busy, busy, but good for the heart!). What a glorious time of year! Watch especially for the habits of the creatures around you . . . the squirrels, chipmunks, robins, etc. You can see a decidedly different focus in their activity in September. No animals out there in your yard? You can remedy that for next year too, of course. So think of the rapidly approaching autumn not as the end of the season, but as the preparation for next spring, and plan your activities this next month accordingly. Go Steelers!

TOWNSHIP TOPICS
Resignation accepted
John Zeitler, administrator of Sylvania Township, has submitted his letter of resignation, effective July 12, 2019. The township trustees accepted the resignation at their Sept. 5 meeting. Zeitler said he submitted the letter well in advance so he and the trustees have time to develop an exit plan leading to a smooth transition for his successor. He took the position in November, 2010, after 26 years as director of management and budget for the Lucas County commissioners. He had worked a total of 30 years in the county finance department, before retiring from the county in order to take the Sylvania Township post. Separately, Zeitler serves as one of the three-member board of The Olander Park System. He said he intends to remain in that position.
Contract with Harbor Behavioral
Sylvania Township trustees have approved a contract with Harbor Behavioral Healthcare to provide services under the township’s Employee Assistance Program. The primary function of Harbor will be to discuss whatever issue is being confronted by the employee and when called for, suggest referrals to community resources. It is also possible for the township administration to direct an employee to Harbor if it is deemed advisable. Janet Ornko, township assistant administrator and director of human resources, said that in most cases individuals seek contact under the program and the township is never made aware of what transpires. She said the administration will be notified as to the number of contacts they might have with employees, but they will not be given the identity of any employee using the program. The service is free to employees for up to five appointments per year. Ornko noted that the issues dealt with

Visit cityofsylvania.com or call 419-885-8950 for more information can involve marital problems, compulsive behavior, alcohol or other drugs, workrelated issues or just about anything that constitutes a problem for an employee. The contract is for just under $4,000 for a year, covering all 153 full-time employees of the township.
University-Parks Trail to be extended
Erika Buri, executive director of The Olander Park System, said that after some food, coffee and juice the volunteers will go to sites along Ten Mile Creek and along ditches in the area to pick up debris, which is both unsightly and a potential for disrupting the flow of water. The groups will return to
Olander where dumpsters will be available to cart away the trash. Olander is one of seven sites which will host Clean Your Streams volunteers in the county. All area volunteers will be welcomed at a thank you lunch to be served at noon at the Lucas County Recreation Center.
The Lucas County commissioners have approved a contract with Exercon of Toledo to extend the University-Parks Trail from its current end point at King Road to about 0.6 of a mile to the west to Silica Road. The commissioners about two months ago had approved the project outline of the Sylvania Township portion of the trail used extensively by bicyclists and runners. The contract is for $304,300, which is under the estimated cost of $370,000. The majority of the cost will be covered by a grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources with additional help from the Metroparks. It is viewed as a positive step on its own, but also as a stage toward a potential trail meant to travel generally along Ten Mile Creek and eventually north to trails at Sylvan Prairie Park and then to Sylvania-Metamora Road. The extension to Silica Road should be completed around July of next year.
Clean your streams day
Next Saturday, Sept. 22, residents may notice clumps of people bending over, carrying bags and mucking about in Ten Mile Creek and roadway ditches in Sylvania Township. They’re not looking for buried treasure, although that would be a nice reward for their volunteer efforts, but they are looking for and picking up the trash thrown by thoughtless others which finds a way of clogging those waterways It is the annual Clean Your Streams Day, which will begin locally with about 100 volunteers at Olander Park and continue with groups going from there to various locations in the community.

Girl Scouts of Western Ohio and Girl Scouts of the USA announced the addition of 30 new badges are now available exclusively for girls ages 5–18 intended to address some of society’s most pressing needs, such as cybersecurity, environmental advocacy, mechanical engineering, robotics, computer science, and space exploration. In a safe, all-girl environment, Girl Scouts develop important skills including confidence and perseverance, setting them up for success and preparing them to take action for a better world. Today’s youth are more vocal than ever about the change they want to see, and Girl Scouts are equipped with the skills needed to make a real impact. The results are proven: girls who participate in Girl Scouts are more than twice
as likely to exhibit community problemsolving skills than girls who don’t (57 percent versus 28 percent). The Girl Scout environment provides fun, exciting, and essential experiences that carry into girls’ future careers and life success; the KPMG Women’s Leadership Study of more than 3,000 professional and college women shows that early exposure to leadership has a significant impact on a woman’s perceptions of her ability to lead. Additionally, 76 percent of women today wish they had learned more about leadership and had more leadership opportunities while growing up, demonstrating how imperative it is for girls and volunteers to join Girl Scouts.

Gerald Arthur Bryant
Gerald Arthur Bryant left us on Sept. 9, 2018. He was born on Nov. 30, 1934 in Hudson, Mich. to James and Nota Bryant. He grew up in Adrian, Mich. and moved to Toledo as a young teen. He attended Horace-Mann and Whitmer High School. As a student at Whitmer he
earned the right to attend the National Junior Achievement Competition in Texas. After high school he worked as an auto mechanic at various shops around the Toledo area. His love of automobiles made him want to pass his knowledge on to others as he taught auto mechanics at his alma-matter, Whitmer, during the 1964-65 school year. In 1965 when Penta County Vocational Schools opened its doors, he became one of the first four auto mechanics teachers for 2 years before moving on to the administrative team. His involvement with the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) led to many opportunities to travel and share his ideas and beliefs in Vocational Education. All the while he was pursuing his educational degrees from the University of Toledo from where he received his Bachelor’s degree in 1972 and his Master’s degree in 1974. In 1979, his career path led him to move on to Owens Technical College as the Dean of Engineering and Automotive Technologies. He later served as the Dean of Continuing Education and retired from Owens as the Director of Auxiliary Services in 1997. Jerry had a very busy personal life as well. In 1968 he entered the Masons through Robinson Locke Lodge #659. He proceeded though the Scottish Rite in 1969 and the same year chose to become a member of Zenobia Shrine, joining the Director’s Staff. As a Shriner he attended numerous parades, newspaper sales, circuses and other events. He served on the Chicago Board of Governors at the Shriner’s Hospital for Children, becoming an emeritus member after serving his term. In 1991, he was appointed to the Divan Line at Zenobia becoming the Illustrious Potentate at Zenobia in 1997. He served as the Impresario and later as the Director of the Royal Order of Jesters
Court #21 in 2012. He could often be found travelling the country and world with his many friends from the Shrine. Gerald met the love of his life, Kathy, on June 6, 1962 and told her that day he was going to marry her. They were indeed wed on Dec. 21, 1963. Jerry will be greatly missed by his wife Kathy and their children Jonathan and JB (Carey); Grandchildren Julia, James and Joseph. He is survived by his brother Jim (Doris) Bryant of Orfordville, Wis.. Also surviving are Gia (Gary) Curry and Gina (Chris) Macy and their children and grandchildren. Memorials may be made to Shriners Hospitals for Children 2211 North Oak Park Ave. Chicago, Ill. 60707-3392. Condolences may be shared with the family at walkerfuneralhomes.com.

Stephen Briggs Shawaker
Stephen Briggs Shawaker, age 84, died Sept. 3, 2018 in Sylvania, Ohio. Steve was born to Jeanne and Wayne Shawaker in Toledo on Nov. 23, 1933. He was a graduate of Scott High School, 1951, the University of Michigan, 1955, and the University of Toledo with a Masters of Business in 1958. When Steve was a graduate student, he met Joyce E. Potter, an undergrad, and they were married June 27, 1959. Joyce and Steve shared a love for dancing, gardening, attending University of Michigan sporting events, visiting area, state, and national parks, and spending time at their family cottage on Clarks Lake in Michigan. The highlight of Steve's life were the births of their three sons, Scott, Peter, and Andrew. After several positions in different areas of business, Steve started a 40 year career as a stockbroker. He joined Clark Dodge in 1965 and remained with the firm as they transitioned to Kidder Peabody, GE, Paine Webber, and finally UBS. He often commented that he missed his clients and his office companions after retiring. Steve was a committed environmentalist. He constantly made contributions to organizations which try to save the land, water, skies, and animals. He was also an avid reader, preferring newspapers, nature publications, and business magazines. Joyce and Steve loved to travel. They took their sons on many cross country trips and later traveled as a couple to Europe, Alaska, and Mexico. Steve's favorite scenery was Clarks Lake, Mich. and the beautiful Gulf Coast beaches in Florida. Steve loved spending time with his three sons and their families. He was an Indian Guide Chief for his sons when they were in grade school and attended as many sporting events, musical activities, and recognition assemblies as he was able. Steve had many lifelong friends, some shared his passion for the University of Michigan. He was a longtime member and past-president of the Toledo U of M Club and a member of Epworth United Methodist Church. He was also a member of the Toledo Club, where he was a former squash player, Chairman of the Social Committee, and a member of the Wednesday Nooners. Steve was a member of the Inverness Club, the Toledo Zoo, the Museum of Art, and Sigma Phi Epsilon. Steve is survived by his wife, Joyce Potter Shawaker; sons, Scott (Rhonda), Peter (Elizabeth), and Andy (Samantha); nine grandchildren (in birth order), Caitlin, Connor, PJ, Lauren, Tom, Sarah, Mary, Emily, and John; sister, Sue Moesser; sister-in-law, Janet Widner; brother-in-laws, Wayne Widner and David Potter; and twelve nieces and nephews. Steve will be remembered for his honesty, strong values, and integrity which will continue on through his family. The Shawaker family is grateful for the good care Steve received from the nurses and staff of Kingston of Sylvania and Hospice of Northwest Ohio. Memorial contributions may be made to the Toledo Area Metroparks, 5100 W. Central Suite A, Toledo, Ohio 43606 or Epworth United Methodist Church, 4855 W. Central Ave. Toledo, Ohio 43615.
