Sylvania’s Superheroes

Honoring Those Who Serve BY MARY HELEN DARAH

Captain Aaron Frye, M.O.

Captain Aaron Frye, Sylvania Fire Department Training and Safety Officer, always wanted to be a firefighter. “I was born and raised in the Cleveland area,” he recalled. “My parents told me stories that when I was five years old, a family friend and captain showed me around his station and introduced me to the world of firefighting. I believe that helped ignite, for lack of a better word, my desire to go into this career. All my high school friends wanted to go into the field. There are at least two of us currently in the profession.”

The big move

In 1997 Captain Frye started as a part-time firefighter-EMT in Olmsted Township in Cleveland. “In 2000 I accepted a full-time ‘Firemedic’ position,” he stated. “My wife Laura is from the Toledo area and from a family of seven kids. Everyone but one sibling is in the area. She wanted to come home which led to me being hired by the Sylvania Township Fire Department as a Firefighter-Paramedic in August of 2003. I have served throughout the community on all three shifts and at all four stations during my career with the Sylvania Fire Department.”

Safety first

Capt. Aaron Frye

Frye was promoted to the rank of Captain in 2015. “I develop and implement training as the Department Training and Safety Officer,” he stated. “I oversee the Fire Training Bureau, which means I develop, schedule and implement training activities for all personnel. I also function as the Incident Safety Officer on emergency incidents and I am responsible for implementing an overall safety program for operations.” Captain Frye is a charter member and graduate of the National Fire Academy Managing Officer Program located in Maryland. “I was one of the first groups to go through,” he recalled. “Since then, a lot of things we suggested since the first 50 of us went through the program are being implemented. The program requires five prerequisite courses and takes three years to complete. It’s very intense and very beneficial. It taught me how to develop programs from an idea and to better assist the chiefs . It was also a great opportunity to network with officers across the United States. I still talk with a lot of the people that I attended with.”

It can be challenging

One challenge Captain Frye faces is to provide effective training to both senior experienced personnel and newer members that will meet everyone’s needs. “I have a lot of

people who are my seniors and then some who are brand-new to the career. I must teach guys who have been here 10 years longer than I have and remind them that there are younger guys who need to learn,” he stated. “Another challenge I faced was being one of five employees laid off in January of 2007 due to budget restrictions from a failed tax levy. It was difficult to get back on track after the layoff, but I was recalled to service in July of 2008, then promoted to Lieutenant in April of 2011 before being promoted to Captain.”

The rewards

Captain Frye believes that people are the core to a successful department. “The ability to improve our service is generated through the many ideas and initiatives that originate from our personnel. It is their values, energy, commitment, and compassion that drive many of the Fire Department’s functions, programs, and activities that support and further the accomplishment of our mission of providing excellent service to the Sylvania community,” he stated. The Fire Department currently has 64 fulltime employees who are Lucas County paramedics. “What this means to the community is that anytime one of our apparatus arrives on-scene, we provide highlyskilled personnel who offer both advanced life support, medical care and expertise in emergency mitigation of a variety of incidents,” he said.

The future of firefighting

“We are going to continue being heavily involved in Community Risk Reduction in the future,” stated Captain Frye. “We also will be partnering with a variety of healthcare professionals to practice Community Paramedicine. If we can avoid having people go to the hospital to simply get a medication, it will highly benefit the individual, the community and the healthcare system. We are all paramedics. Essentially in our world, if someone can’t figure out who to call, they call us. That’s how its been for over a hundred years. We show up and take care of the situation relying on the knowledge, skills and abilities of our personnel.” When Captain Frye is off duty he enjoys spending time with his wife Laura and their three daughters. He also likes spending time with his dogs and riding his Harley with the Axemen Ohio Motorcycle Club. “Our family has chosen to live in Sylvania since 2003. Sylvania has so many options to enjoy. We have an outstanding life here,” he stated. “I am definitely glad we made the move from Cleveland. Sylvania has a very special dynamic. It is in honor to serve the community.”

Veterans graves decorated with wreaths during annual event In 2013, four-year Air Force veteran Mel Harbaugh brought Wreaths Across America to the area when he volunteered to become the Location Leader for the organization for northwestern Ohio. He first learned of the organization four years prior from an Air Force friend and became a volunteer for the closest chapter in Sandusky. Since then, he, along with veteran friends Jerry Walker (Marines) and Mike Wagner (Army) in partnership with Jeff Clegg, President and CEO Toledo Memorial Park, have been campaigning to raise awareness about the organization and to raise funds to buy wreaths to lay on graves of veterans every December. All wreaths are purchased with donations made by individuals, local businesses and through fundraising efforts. WAA is not financially supported by any government funding. According to Harbaugh, the tradition began when a Maine-based company, Worchester Wreath, found themselves with a surplus of wreaths. Company owner, Morrill Worcester, remembered his visit to Arlington Cemetery as a young boy. Remembering his boyhood experience at Arlington, Worcester realized he had an opportunity to honor our country’s veterans. With the aid of Maine Senator Olympia Snowe, arrangements were made for the wreaths to be placed at Arlington in one of the older sections of the cemetery that had been receiving fewer visitors with each passing year. The tradition continued quietly for the

next several years until the project received national attention in 2005, prompting the formation of the not for profit organization, Wreaths Across America. Wreaths Across America also conducts several other programs to honor veterans, including the popular “Thanks a Million” campaign which distributes cards to people all over the country to send veterans a simple “thank you” for their service. WAA participates in veterans’ events throughout the year, and has a veteran liaison on staff to work with local veterans organizations. In addition, WAA is committed to teaching younger generations about the value of their freedoms and the importance of honoring those who sacrificed so much to protect those freedoms. The organization offers learning tools, interactive media projects and opportunities for youth groups to participate in the events. They also work to create opportunities to connect “the Greatest Generation” with the “Generation of Hope,” passing on inspirational stories from World War II veterans to the leaders of the future. According to Harbaugh, last year over 200 volunteers helped place sponsored wreaths on over 3,500 veterans’ graves at Toledo Memorial Park. His goal this year is to purchase 14,000 wreaths. Donations may be made by calling Toledo Memorial Park; WAA Location Leader at 419-346-9192 or visit toledomemorialpark.com/events/.

Wreaths Across America Car Show organizer and northwestern Ohio Location Leader Mel Harbaugh talks with Mike Wagner and Steven Kosinski at the sixth annual Wreaths Across America Car Show held on Aug. 19 at Toledo Memorial Park. All donations are used to buy wreaths for graves of veterans at Toledo Memorial Park.

Armistice Day 100th anniversary celebrated

Shop local to celebrate Small Business Saturday BY DR. LINDA BOWYER

It’s that time of year again...Thanksgiving is right around the corner followed by “Black Friday,” (the big box stores’ sales on the day after Thanksgiving) and “Cyber Monday,” (online stores’ sales on the Monday after Thanksgiving). But don’t forget, Saturday, Nov. 24 is “Small Business Saturday,” a great day to shop local. Since 2010 American Express has promoted the Saturday after Thanksgiving as a day to encourage shoppers to spend at locally owned, independent brick-andmortar stores. “Buy Local” movements have picked up steam throughout the United States but the growth of big box stores and Internet shopping have affected locally owned firms. According to the Small Business Administration, there were over 29,000 new jobs in Ohio created by small businesses in 2015 alone, meaning 46 percent of all employees in the state were working for a small business that year. Since the 2009 recession, 62 percent of all private sector jobs were created by small businesses. And those small businesses re-circulate the money they bring in at rate of almost 50 percent, compared to less than 14 percent of purchases at chain stores. According to the American Independent Business Alliance (amiba.net), having locally owned businesses in your neighborhood also has environmental benefits. Small businesses are people-sized, consuming less land, carrying more locally-made products, and are usually located closer to their customers, creating less traffic and pollution. Local charities and teams also benefit, as small businesses donate more than twice as much per sales dollar as large businesses to nonprofits and local events. A Price Waterhouse study found that people who shop at "brick and mortar" stores care as much about the

shopping experience as the gifts they buy. A big advantage for small businesses! Luckily for those in the Sylvania area, there is a myriad of small businesses from which to choose. Local shoppers can purchase almost everything they may need or want within city and township boundaries. Shoppers can purchase items from furniture to window treatments for their homes or offices. They can find fashions to suit a variety of tastes and budgets for men and women. Shoppers can also purchase shoes, baked goods, toys, books, sports items and equipment, flowers, coins, jewelry, musical instruments, computer equipment and accessories, sewing supplies, hardware, specialty foods, and much, much more in Sylvania and Sylvania Township. The advantages of shopping local are many. First and foremost, friendly helpful service is the watchword in small, local shops where the store owner is more than likely your clerk. If you are a repeat customer, the shop owner and other staff know you by name. They also know what you like and will help you find what you are looking for, saving you time and effort. Many times, store owners and their staff will alert you when a special item arrives in the store or they will be willing to put something aside so you don’t miss out on an item you want. In addition, shoppers do not have to wait in long lines in small, locally owned stores and parking is close by, making shops easily accessible. Don’t forget to tell your family and friends to shop at locally owned businesses on Saturday, Nov. 24! Dr. Linda Bowyer is Professor Emeritus of Finance and past director of the Small Business Institute, University of Toledo and board member, Resolute Bank

Both self-taught photographers, they have a passion for photography that goes back to their childhoods when both were given their first cameras by family members. “To say photography is an obsession, is an understatement,” said Emily. And Jennifer agreed.

Dr. Tara Bingle of Brookview Dental looks over the 170 pounds of candy received from the annual buy back event. The candy is sent on to U. S. service personnel.

Levi of Dundee, Mich., sold the dental office the most pounds of candy...15 pounds, and won a $25 gift card as a reward.

The two met at DeVeaux Junior High and went to Start High School together. Then Jennifer went on to BGSU, graduated in public health, and subsequently worked in corporate wellness. Emily went to UT and graduated in education. During college, their friendship started blossoming into a photography business when Emily began doing wedding photography and asked Jen to help. As word of their work spread, they started adding shoots for families, babies, and children. Eventually, they both left their jobs and officially went into business together. “We came up with the name Two Chicks and a Click,” laughed Jennifer, “but were quickly encouraged by family to have a more professional name. We then decided on JEM — a combination of our names.” Now they also do high school seniors, extended families, and business portraits, shooting both in the studio and on location.

Jennifer and Emily’s first studio was in the basement of a home, but not for long. When their business started to grow, they moved to Schoolhouse Commons in Lambertville, but the space was still not exactly what they wanted. Driving through Sylvania, they saw the space in Haymarket Square for rent and immediately thought it would make a great studio. It was also much easier to find than the studio in Lambertville and had convenient parking for their clients. “We love it here in Sylvania,” nodded Jennifer and Emily. And we hope they continue to create their beautiful photos for years to come as part of our downtown community. Sylvania Advantage, in cooperation with Creative Oxygen, invites you to check out samples of Jennifer and Emily’s work on their website at momentsbyjem.com or follow them on Instagram. Photos are by appointment.

Art Elementz opens on Main Street “The love of art is in the eye of the beholder,” is a sentiment held by artist Tina Wagenhauser. To that end she is bringing her art and that of other artists to any who wish to behold it in her new studio and gallery, Art Elementz, 5679 Main St., behind Fuller Art House and TK Lanes. The new gallery, which debuted during the Nov. 2 Art Walk, is adjacent to the Back Alley Gallery where Wagenhauser first displayed some of her art work. “While that was a good space and gave me an introduction to the community, I found it very difficult to actually paint there,” she recalled. “I needed to have studio space where I can actually work,” she reflected. “This allows me to have a place to paint as well as great display areas to showcase my art and the work of other artists, as well.” Currently, Deena Remley has her work on display and jewelry artist Dawn Hackett is bringing her work to the new gallery. In addition, Wagenhauser anticipates Art Elementz will be a welcoming gallery and studio space for other local artists who share Wagenhauser’s passion for art and may not have access to studio or gallery space. “I am hoping other artists will use this space and find it to be an area for collaboration,” she

stated. Wagenhauser anticipates stocking a full menu of art supplies available for sale for the convenience of artists and others. She also looks forward to offering art classes for children and adults. While Wagenhauser feels her strength lies in her portrait work, she also specializes in pet portraits and is trying many different expressions. She plans to try sculpting next. “I am a hands-on kind of person, and I love trying new things,” she offered. “I started doing portraits when I was 5 years old, and I drew all the time while I was growing up,” she recalled. “Larry Golba was my junior high school art teacher and he was very encouraging. He has been a great mentor, and we have stayed in touch over the years even when I was not involved in art.” Wagenhauser said she put down her drawing pencils and paint brushes for several years but picked them up again following the tragic death of her oldest son four years ago. “I was able to find comfort and solace through my art, which has helped me a lot,” she said. “And, I am able to express emotions through my work. I can truly recognize the importance of art therapy, and I want to be here for others.”

Tina Wagenhauser is combining her new gallery with studio space.

Heads to the Cottage Boutique BY MARY HELEN DARAH

Local women are eager to serve Sylvania

Beverly Janowski and Pat Hilfinger, both longtime members of the ProMedica Flower Hospital Auxiliary, are on a mission to serve. The two ladies have an extensive history of making a difference and positively impacting the lives of their fellow Sylvanians as well as the community at large. I was able to get these two “busy bees” to sit down briefly to discuss their new endeavor, the Cottage Boutique, a resale shop in the small white house on the campus of ProMedica Flower Hospital.

Johnny on the spot

Pat Hilfinger is thrilled to be part of the new project. “Bev always wanted a store to help others in the Sylvania community. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, but I signed on,” she stated. “Through the years Bev and I discovered that you could make money with these types of stores. Historically, Flower Hospital doctors used this house. When they gave the Flower Hospital Auxiliary the cottage, I was johnnyon-the-spot.”

Gently loved

ProMedica Flower Hospital Auxiliary members Pat Hilfinger and Beverly Janowski are ready to sell gently used items to help the Sylvania community.

The Cottage Boutique will be part of the Flower Hospital Auxiliary. The store will feature ladies and men’s clothing, holiday items, collectibles, fur coats, leather coats, formal attire, shoes, jewelry and more. “A lot of these items are new, some even have the price tags on them, and other items are slightly loved,” stated Janowski. “We are wellstocked and ready to open, but the Cottage Boutique always needs donations of gently used items.” I happened to have a few items in my trunk that had been there far too long with the good intentions of dropping them off somewhere. It was a great feeling to know they were going to two women on a mission to help others.

Making the difference

Nov. 15 at 9 a.m. Following the grand opening, hours will be 9 a.m.-2 p.m., Thursday-Saturday. Proceeds from the Cottage Boutique will go to a variety of worthy organizations and programs. “Flower Hospital will receive funds as well as other organizations, and in some cases individuals,” said Janowski. “For example, when I was VP of Flower Hospital Auxiliary around 17 years ago, there was a young candy striper at the hospital who lost her parents in a horrific car accident. The Auxiliary stepped in and paid for the funeral of both of her parents. She was so thankful. She became a nurse here at Flower. That is the kind of difference we are hoping to make.” People may drop off donations during hours of operation. If there is a large quantity, donors may call 419-536-0530, and make arrangements for items to be picked up. The two women hope that guests do not get deterred by parking as there is limited parking directly in front of the little white house. “Guests can come from the Flower Hospital campus and may park behind the building,” explained Hilfinger. “They can also come through the main hospital entrance and head toward Heartland at ProMedica and park nearby. Guests may also park directly off Harroun Road. If the driveway is empty, come on in!”

Don’t stop believing

Both women hope that the Cottage Boutique will succeed and enable them reach out to those in need. “Our main goal is to help the Flower Hospital community and to lend a hand to other nonprofits or anyone else who could use assistance,” stated Janowski. “I just hope we can keep the Cottage Boutique going so that we make a difference in the lives of others,” said Hilfinger. “Just think, the things that hang in your closet that you never get around to wearing, or the items you’ve tucked away in boxes, could have a powerful purpose. They could help change a life.”

The Cottage Boutique will be opening on

Walker Funeral Homes partners with Rossford-based funeral home

Keith Walker Keith Walker, owner and president of Walker Funeral Homes, announced the partnership of his company with Sujkowski Funeral Home, 830 Lime City Rd., in Rossford. The funeral home there will be known as Sujkowski-Walker and will maintain the same Sujkowski family commitment of excellence to its clients. “Walker Funeral Home is thrilled to partner with Brian, Wendy and Mark Sujkowski. Both family-owned funeral homes are dedicated to the same goals and share a mission for quality and reasonable pricing. This synergy will allow the continuation of serving our customers and honor lives well lived at all locations,” Walker said. Brian Sujkowski added “I am excited to partner with the Walker Family of Funeral Homes. I feel the standards and values that the Sujkowski family has worked hard to uphold in this community for the past 42 years will continue on as I partner with Keith and his staff to provide the highest standard of care to the families we serve.”

About Walker Funeral Homes

1933, when Alvin W. Walker opened his first chapel on Monroe St. Later, he relocated the business and opened the Talmadge Park Chapel on Talmadge Road. His son Gary joined the family business in 1965, and his grandson Keith became a member of the business in 1993. The chapel moved to its current location in Sylvania in 1995. Under Keith Walker’s leadership, the family purchased the Maison-Dardenne Funeral Home in Maumee, which is now known as Maison-Dardenne-Walker Funeral Home. This expansion of community service was followed by the acquisition of three other funeral homes in Ottawa County with locations in Genoa, Oak Harbor and Port Clinton.

History of the Sujkowski Funeral Home

In 1888, William C. Sujkowski opened a furniture store in the Polish Village on Lagrange St. in North Toledo. His business expanded to include caskets and eventually became a funeral home. The business expanded in 1920 to include a location on Nebraska Ave. and in 1980 the business was moved to Airport Hwy., in South Toledo where it remains today. In 1976, Eugene Jr. and his wife, Marcia Sujkowski, purchased the Rossford Funeral Home on Dixie Hwy. from the late Norman Sweet and renamed it Rossford-Sujkowski Funeral Home. In 1983, their sons, Brian and Mark Sujkowski, the fifth generation, joined the business full time. The Rossford-Sujkowski Funeral Home moved to a newly constructed facility on Lime City Rd. in Rossford in 2000 to better accommodate the families they serve with Brian, his wife Wendy and brother, Mark running the day to day operations. In January 2017, Brian’s daughter, Ashley Sujkowski, the sixth generation, received her funeral directors license.

Dr. Bryan Royer has relocated his practice, Harmony Chiropractic Center Inc., to 5800 Monroe St., Building A11. He acquired the 2,600-square-foot facility last fall working with Megan Malczewski, CCIM, of Signature Associates. “We needed more space for the practice and we wanted to return to Sylvania,” he related. “This building works well for us and we have been able to expand our services.” The new space has a full-service fully equipped rehab room that includes a power rack where patients can do squats and bench presses and other such exercises. Dr. Royer was recently certified as a Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES) and has added rehab specialist Erica Fairbanks to the staff to assist him in working with patients. “We opt to help patients learn to strengthen areas that are weak or underactive and learn self-myofascial release techniques to help make the pain go away,” he said. There is also a room for the massage therapist, Brianna Honsberger, who has been a great addition to the practice according to Dr. Royer. Since chiropractic school, Dr. Royer has developed his interest in the wellness of the whole individual, not just being a back doctor. While he focuses on musculoskeletal problems in his practice and his motto is “Get Your Life Back into Harmony,” he also looks to help people with nutritional deficits and allergy problems. “My focus is to help patients attain an optimum level of health instead of only treating the sick or injured. I offer chiropractic manipulation, therapeutic exercises, nutritional counseling, advanced allergy testing, foot orthotics and much more,” he stated. Dr. Royer advocates the use of kinesio tape, which changes the function of muscles and helps with lymphatic drainage. He earned a certification as a functional neurologist allowing him to help improve the quality of life for those patients with movement disorders, traumatic brain injuries, vertigo and dizziness among other issues. Royer is also trained to be able to perform electrodiagnostic studies to include nerve conduction velocity testing and needle electromyography, which is used to diagnosis nerve problems like weakness, numbness/tingling, carpal tunnel syndrome

or sciatica. In addition, he recently became certified in Selective Functional Movement Assessment Level 1, which is a tool to reach a comprehensive movement diagnosis regarding stability and/or motor control dysfunctions as well as mobility dysfunctions. He has taken extensive postgraduate classes in clinical nutrition and performing impairment ratings for disability evaluations. “I have also been certified to work with the Graston Technique, the original instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization. Many sports teams use this technique effectively as the process helps to decrease pain and increase the range of motion for soft tissue injuries. This procedure can be very helpful for treating carpal tunnel syndrome and many other problems, from knees, neck, rotator cuffs and more,” Dr. Royer explained. “We have many tools here but we continue to tailor treatment to meet the needs of each patient. And, each patient has to be invested in his or her treatment to get better. This is a participation sport,” he emphasized. “I have all kinds of letters I can add after my name,” he quipped. “But what really matters is that I know I am giving people their lives back and am keeping people from going down that path to addiction when we can help them deal with the pain without opiods. I love what I do. I know that I help people,” Dr. Royer stated. He offers a free 30minute consultation and he is available for appointments on Monday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Thursday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Sylvania Sizzle Simmer Sauté

Bottle Shop wine director offers tips for perfect pairings drier and spicier. Hexamer is a white pinot noir from Germany. Use this anywhere you would use a Riesling, chardonnay or rosé,” Rasar explained. Both wines are available at Bottle Shop and are under $25. “A wine doesn’t have to be expensive to be special,” she added. Also available at Bottle Shop is another of Rasar’s favorites, “Ciacci Fabivs from Tuscany, which is 100 percent Syrah.” For those who don’t like wine or don’t drink alcohol, Rasar suggests serving sparkling ciders, non-alcoholic cocktails enhanced with extracts and infusions, or a non-alcoholic cranberry punch.

Choosing the glass

BY JENNIFER RUPLE The official kickoff to the holidays is right around the corner, and chances are you’ll be hosting at least one gathering during the season. As a host, you’ll be faced with many decisions such as what Jennifer Ruple food to serve and which wine to serve with it. The world of wine can be confusing, especially when pairing it with food. Does it really matter what you serve? Wine is wine, right? According to Tricia Rasar, wine director at Bottle Shop at Mancy’s Italian, “It’s very important. The right wine pairing elevates the food and the wine experience. It makes your food taste better. A wrong pairing can really make your food taste terrible, and that’s the last thing you want when you are spending a lot of your time on a holiday feast.” To take some of the guesswork out of planning holiday events, Rasar offers expert advice to help you create perfect food and wine pairings, choose which glass to serve with which wine, and decide how much wine to have on hand for each guest.

Pairing wine with holiday food

With turkey, Rasar suggests serving a medium-sweet riesling or rosé wine. Rieslings and rosés also work well with ham. An Oregon pinot noir or a Burgundy, a dry wine from France’s Burgundy region, are also good choices.

A selection of reds For shellfish such as crab legs and shrimp cocktail, Rasar recommends prosecco, an Italian sparkling wine; Champagne; or a Sancerre, a dry white sauvignon blanc. With lamb, Rasar prefers a northern Italian red or a Syrah, a smoky and spicy wine which pairs well with gamy meats. “I think people automatically go for cabernets with beef, but sometimes a cab is too much wine for a delicate filet. I would go with something more elegant and softer. A pinot noir would be wonderful or a softer merlot or red blend,” Rasar offered. She suggests saving the bolder, more masculine wines like Napa cabernet, Bordeaux, or Brunello di Montalcino for meats like rib roast where there is a lot of fat and connective tissue. “Sparkling wines are best for aperitifs. Prosecco is a very popular sparkling wine. It’s not too dry or too sweet and great for a larger crowd. If you want to do something more elegant for a toast, go with Champagne,” said Rasar. For dessert, Rasar recommends, “a Moscato d'Asti, which is sweet but light and refreshing. This goes with lighter desserts such as cheesecake, creme brulee and fruit pies. It tastes like sparkling peach juice.” “A Tawny port could serve as the dessert,” explained Rasar. “It’s a rich and very sweet wine that pairs well with creamy desserts, chocolate desserts and pies. Its flavor is like caramel which goes with anything.” Looking for something more eclectic? Rasar has a few favorites. “Chiroubles, a reserve wine from Beaujolais, is similar to a pinot noir but it’s a little richer and darker in color and slightly

Rasar recommends serving reds in 14- or 18-ounce glasses. “When you have a large group, a 14-ounce glass is perfect for everything. If you do a stemless glass with white wine, a bigger bowl is better because it won’t warm too quickly from your hand. It has just enough room to let the wine breathe,” she offered.

Tricia Rasar

Planning the event

Should you serve a different wine with each course? “It depends on the type of meal you are having,” answered Rasar. “With a buffet, serve a few different varieties to please different palates. If the occasion is formal, have two or three options on the table.” If the event is a more informal occasion with appetizers or grazing, Rasar recommends serving a white, a rosé and a red. “For Thanksgiving, I would serve a medium to drier style riesling; a dry rosé, probably French; and

Rosé wine

Rasar’s favorites

Sept. 27. For those interested in taking their knowledge of wine to the next level, Bottle Shop offers weekly wine tasting events on Thursdays from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Flights of six to eight samples are available for $15, or individual samples begin at $2. Beer flights are also available. “You can learn as much or as little as you’d like about the wines we offer on Thursdays,” said Rasar. “The most important thing I want people to take away from a tasting is to be more familiar with their own palettes. Wine tastings are a great opportunity to try a lot of great tasting wines at little cost.” Seasonal brews

a medium bodied pinot noir from Burgundy or Oregon,” said Rasar. “On Christmas I would shift because the cuisine usually shifts to heartier food like beef and a lot of seafood. Serve rosé, sauvignon blanc, a crisp chardonnay, or cabernet sauvignon or a similar blend to a cab.”

Deciding on the amount

“At Thanksgiving or Christmas most people have at least two glasses. For a sit-down dinner, I would plan for a bottle of wine for every two people. If it’s more of an informal event where people are standing and socializing, plan for a bottle per person,” suggested Rasar. Wine tasting event crudités

NDA journey to the “Foot of the Cross”at cathedral On Friday, Nov. 9, Notre Dame Academy students, faculty and staff made a pilgrimage to Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral and participated in a Mass in celebration of St. Bakhita, with the theme of Journey to the Foot of the Cross. NDA’s pilgrimage tradition started in 2016 as the school celebrated the Year of Mercy at the Cathedral. “Our students loved being able to go to the Cathedral to celebrate Mass with all of its majesty,” Campus Ministry Co-Director Mrs. Faye Smith said. “Some of our students had never been to the Cathedral. It was a very emotional experience for them so we have continued the tradition of an all-school Mass there annually.” Campus ministry chooses a saint each year to focus and learn about before the pilgrimage. It is important that the saint that is chosen is one which NDA students can

see themselves emulating. Prior to loading the buses for the Cathedral, all homerooms participated in service projects for those in need. Some of the projects and organizations included: •Fleece hats for Food for Thought •Decorate cookies for Ronald McDonald House •Paracord bracelets for soldiers through Operation Gratitude •Rosaries in collaboration with St. Rose Parish to send to the missions in the Philippines •Help at Maria Early Learning •Decorate lunch bags for Art for Thought •Christmas cards for the children at Hogar Emmanuel in Honduras •Prepare items for the annual NDA Appalachia Christmas Mission trip.

Sylvania Branch Library has changed BY KILLEEN FRENCH-HILL

Strolling down Monroe Street, one will likely notice the many changes that have taken place outside the Sylvania Branch Library. The real changes have taken place on the inside, though. This neighborhood center is easy to locate, and is welcoming to all ages. Walking in, one will most likely take note of the comfortable lounge or the nearby childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s section. With a plethora of books for all reading levels, this library is a place for people to enjoy anytime. Like most libraries, this one contains a large area devoted to children. In this section, the guest will not only have easy access to grade level books for many interests, but also computers appropriate for young children. Some computers are strictly for young

learners, while others are programmed with internet safety. Also within this environment, children who want to play quietly have access to toys. When people think of a library, they think books, study carrels, and silence. But in the 21st century, libraries include drones, sewing machines, coding programs, robotics, and digital cameras. One may even find a 3D printer, a machine that will soon be taking printing requests from the public, conference and study rooms, and even snacks. It is moving away from the traditional library concept and becoming more of a Community Center. If one happens to have some free time, then take the opportunity to visit the renovated Sylvania Branch Library. This is truly a remarkable place that takes the time to welcome all guests, and every staff member helps to make it a pleasant experience.

Maumee Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drama department will present four performances of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blithe Spirit,â&#x20AC;? a farce by Noel Coward, in the Millennium Theater at Maumee Valley Country Day School. Show dates are: Thursday, Nov. 15, Friday, Nov. 16, and Saturday, Nov. 17 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 18 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $8 for students (any age) and $10 for adults. Presale tickets are available at mvcds.ticketleap.com/blithe-spirit/. There will be a few tickets available at the door. This smash Broadway comedy features novelist Charles Condomine, who invites an eccentric clairvoyant, Madame Arcati, to his house for a sĂŠance. Thinking it will provide material for a book, it instead produces the ghost of his temperamental, late, first wife,

Elvira. Chaos ensues and Charlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; current wife, Ruth is accidentally killed. She â&#x20AC;&#x153;passes overâ&#x20AC;? and Charles now is haunted by two late wives. Theatre Director Brian Bozanich explained his choice of a comedy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why this show, now? It was time to work on our comedy skills. Last year, we produced two dramatic works, which were well received, but the students need the chance to work in diverse material.â&#x20AC;? He continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, we have new students stepping into lead roles and seizing new opportunities. I am excited to work with this fresh team.â&#x20AC;? The Millennium Theater is located on the campus of Maumee Valley Country Day School, 1715 S. Reynolds Road, Toledo.

Southview Honored Athletes

Tennis players Annsley Mann and Katherine Barricklow recently advanced to the OHSAA District championship by finishing in 3rd place in the Sectional tournament. Coach Adrienne Pilewski added, “These two ladies are exemplary examples of what senior leadership, sportsmanship and competitive drive are all about. I could always count on Katherine and Annsley to lead the team, both at practice and during matches by showing respect for the game, their opponents, and their teammates. Both ladies set a precedent of high expectations within the program and encouraged the underclassmen to follow their lead both on the tennis court and in the classroom. These young athletes are why coaches love what they do. Being coachable is a quality that both girls possess and model for all young players!”

Nick Harshman helped end a three game losing streak to Northview High School this season by leading the team in rushing with 178 yards on 17 carries. He also scored the go-ahead touchdown that proved to be the winning margin in the 21-14 victory. Nick, who has a 3.26 GPA, is a two year varsity football player and plays baseball in the spring. He also helps contribute to the annual Dance for a Chance fundraiser and is a member of Core Committed. Coach Mayzes said, “Nick is a beast on the field and a gentleman off the field. He truly has the mental and physical toughness to be a great football player. Although only a sophomore, his attitude and effort are among the best on our team. He has the respect of his teammates and coaches as well.” –by John Crisman of AssetWare Event Photography

Senior Lexi Knight just finished her fourth season as a member of the LadyKat Golf Team. In addition to earning 1st All NLL honors this fall, Lexi captured Player of the Year honors as the top golfer in the NLL and the NWOGGL North Division. She was the Medalist, top golfer, at the Sylvania Invitational (73), Eagle Invitational (69), Defiance Invitational (73) and the NWOGGL Championships (72). Lexi helped the Kats qualify for Districts by shooting a 76 at the Sectional Tournament. At Districts, she shot 79 to advance to the State Championships as an individual for the second consecutive year. Lexi’s high school career culminated with a 29th place finish at the State Championships and a 1st Team All District honor.

Senior Ella Scanes has been a member of the Varsity Girls Soccer Team the past four years. She recently was named 1st Team AllNLL and 1st Team All-District as a central midfield player. Ella helped lead the LadyKats to a second place finish in the NLL that included a win over Perrysburg, the first in 7 years. Her stats may not include many goals or assists, but they include a dominant defensive mentality and a knack for winning the ball, whether it’s out of the air or tackling the ball on the ground from opponents. She showed incredible toughness this season and played her best games against the best teams on the LadyKat schedule. –by John Crisman of AssetWare Event Photography

Sylvania–Then and Now BY GAYLEEN GINDY LOOKING BACK

There is another house in Sylvania Township that is over 100 years old and, more than that, the same family has owned it since it was built in 1887. It was 131 years ago that John W. Cooper purchased the NE quarter of the SE quarter of Section 11 in Sylvania Township, consisting of 40 acres. Just three years earlier, in 1884, he had married Hattie Andrews and this is where they decided to make their home. They were both born and raised in Sylvania and attended the very early one-room schools of this area. John and Hattie built their home on Whiteford Road, and farmed the 40 acres surrounding it. Today this home is surrounded by the Cooper Place subdivision, and the original Cooper house uses an address of 5231 Whiteford Rd. In my almost 40 years of researching the history of Sylvania, if you asked me for one name that appeared the most in the minutes of the Sylvania Township Trustees, I would immediately say John W. Cooper. That man did more for the early development of the township roads and ditches than any other person to date, in my opinion. He was born in 1861 and as early as 1881 he was being paid by the township trustees for road work. Starting in 1889 he was elected the road supervisor for the township, and he was elected the ditch supervisor for Sylvania Township consecutively from 1908 through 1923. He oversaw the digging of all of our early manmade ditches along all of our public roads and around our farm fields. These very important ditches helped drain the swamps that once existed here.

Continuing with John Cooper’s Sylvania roots, in 1926 he was elected to one of the highest positions in Sylvania, as Township Trustee. He served in that position until he died while still in office in 1937. During his time as a trustee there was an attempt to annex the entire township into the Village of Victor, which lost, and the Great Depression hit. That was back in the days when it was still the local government’s responsibility to distribute aid to the poor. These were very trying times for the township officials, and Cooper became known as a well-trusted public official. A review of the Sylvania Township Trustee minute books, prior to becoming a trustee, shows that John W. Cooper was paid hundreds of times by the trustees for road work, putting in tile, “turnpiking” roads, installing culverts, repairing roads, serving as ditch supervisor, filling wash outs, digging ditches, posting notices, mowing brush on roads, road work with a team, building catch basins, drawing tile, hauling tile, building election booths, clearing roads of snow, hauling stone, scraping roads, and grading roads. Then starting in 1926 he was paid as a Sylvania Township Trustee, actually losing money because he was certainly paid more doing the road work than he was working as a township trustee. Cooper also served on the local school board for a number of years and contributed to the growth of that institution as well, being paid over the years for many jobs for the schools, way too numerous to mention here. He also received the bid on several occasions to build a couple of the one-room schoolhouses throughout the township. In 1929 Cooper subdivided his 40 acres and platted the Cooper Place subdivision consisting of lots one through 146 and lot A, while incorporating into this subdivision parcels along Whiteford Road and the roads within his subdivision, which he had already sectioned off for himself, his children and grandchildren. So, John and Hattie Cooper lived here in this home on Whiteford Road from 1887 until she died in 1937, and then he died shortly after, that same year, of a broken heart from the loss of his wife. John and Hattie (Andrews) Cooper had the following children (two other children died in infancy): • Clair M. Cooper – born 1886 • Angelina “Lena” Johanna Cooper – born 1888 • Mabel Leona Cooper – born 1890 • Iva Pearl Cooper – born 1892 • Harry W. Cooper – born 1895 • Forest Leroy Cooper – born 1896 An interesting fact to note is that in

5231 Whiteford Road

1902

1940

2018 February of 1904 John W. Cooper purchased the old wooden school house that once belonged in School District No. 1 in Sylvania Township, where some of our earliest children were educated. I have always wondered if that old school building still exists. John and Hattie’s children all grew up and were married to other well-known Sylvania residents, and they all made their homes in Sylvania: • 1909 – Angelina “Lena” Cooper married Elmer Little – they lived on Monroe Street, just west of her father and mother; • 1910 – Mabel L. Cooper married Earl Box – they lived on Whiteford Road – he later became a Sylvania Township Trustee, and Box Lane was named after him; • 1913 – Pearl Cooper married Earl R. Chandler – they lived on King Road near Brint Road; • 1913 – Clair M. Cooper married Lucy M. Harsch – they lived in the Village of Sylvania on Summit Street, and he served on village council and was elected mayor. He operated businesses in Sylvania for many years and was one of the best trap shooters in this part of the country. • 1919 – Harry W. Cooper married Pearl Mortemore – they lived on Whiteford Road and operated Cooper Appliance at Monroe Street and Whiteford Road. • 1920 – Forest Cooper married Donna M.

Kutsch-Berringer. From 1918 through 1927 Forest was paid for various road work and ditch work by the Sylvania Township Trustees, but died young in 1930. In 1929 the Cooper Place subdivision was established and all of the property surrounding the Cooper home became part of that subdivision, except for parcels that they set aside for their children and grandchildren. The Cooper home now became Lot No. 105 in his subdivision. The roads that he established here included: Trellis Way, Arbor Way, Bilby Way, Merriman Road, Silvertown Drive and the extension of McGregor Lane. John W. and Hattie Cooper died in 1937 and their home at 5231 Whiteford Road was transferred to the following family members through today: • Aug. 24, 1939 – Mabel Cooper Box • June 27, 1973 – Earl Box (husband of Mabel) • Oct. 9, 1983 – Robert C. & Vesta (Box) LeRoux • Nov. 4, 1998 – Charles A. & Janis M. LeRoux Vesta (Box) LeRoux wrote that her mother Mabel Cooper Box was born in 1890 in the house on Whiteford Road and then she and her husband Earl Box lived there until her death in 1972. She also said that parcels were sold on Whiteford Road and McGregor Lane to each child.

CRAIG STOUGH MAYOR’S MESSAGE

Happy Thanksgiving

When I meet with groups of students, I often start by telling them how fortunate they are to be living here in Sylvania. There are kids all over the world who Craig Stough would give almost anything to change places with them, and who are working hard at their studies to someday have all we have here in Sylvania.

TOWNSHIP TOPICS

Budget news

With a report on three-fourths of the year’s budget for Sylvania Township on the books, David Simko, the township’s chief financial officer, told trustees he was pleased with the financial situation. He noted that most departments have already received most of the funds they will get for the year and that all departments have spent less than the 75 percent of the budget they might have been expected to spend at that point. Simko added that the income portion of the budget is determined by the township’s share of taxes and other predictable sources, but it is up to the staff and managers of township departments to keep an eye on spending every year to keep the books in balance. “The spending is staying under control and that’s a real good thing,” he told trustees. In recent years, he said, budget negotiations always start out with a clean slate. The township administration does not penalize a department that has come in well under budget for the preceding year. Some places, he said, will take the attitude that if you didn’t need it last year, you won’t need it this year. Mr. Simko said that attitude leads departments to overspend some years so they aren’t penalized. The Sylvania Township budgeting process also is not puffed up so that coming in under budget is easy. He said he thinks the benefits of an honest, collaborative budgeting process are clear. At the end of September the general fund had spent $1.4 million or 68.2 percent of its annual budget. The road department had spent a little over $1.5 million, only 41.4 percent of its budget. That percentage is likely to rise when bills are paid for late road work and leaf collection. The fire department had spend $5.9 million, or 62 percent of its budget and police had expenditures of $5.5 million or 71 percent of its budget.

Zoning appeal granted

The Sylvania Township board of zoning appeals has granted a conditional use home occupation permit for brewing beer to a couple on Merriweather. Home occupation permits are issued with some regularity, but no one recalls one being issued before for a small brewery. Megan Perry told board members that she and her husband, Michael, hope to sell their product to local bars and restaurants and also to market it as a retail product. Perry told the board that the brewing process they intend to use is all electrical and there will be no open flames used in brewing. They also assured the board that the process will not produce any noticeable noise, odors or vibrations. In a letter to the planning office she said, “We like our neighbors and our quiet

I think that is true for all of us adults as well. We spend our days enjoying all the many good things living in Sylvania has to offer, and have the choice to live here through our hard work and good fortune. At this time of the year, it is good to reflect on and be thankful for all we have and enjoy living here in Sylvania. We enjoy peace and safety. Recent local, state and national elections took place peacefully and honestly. That is an American tradition that has proven hard to establish in much of the rest of the world. Our neighborhoods are safe to raise our families in. We have excellent safety forces in our police and fire departments who respond quickly in emergencies. Sylvania has many excellent career public servants operating our neighborhood. We would not do anything to jeopardize that relationship or atmosphere.” There also will be no signage or any exterior changes to the home, she said. The planning office recommended approval of the application as long as the couple obtain all the required licenses and approvals from other governmental agencies.

Zoning change

Two areas along West Sylvania, one at Silica and the other near Herr Road, have had zoning changed by the Sylvania Township board of trustees to facilitate development of those locations. The property near Herr, 8819 West Sylvania Ave. and 8739 West Sylvania Ave., is for future development of a planned light manufacturing and warehouse facility, according to Karlene Henderson, township planning and zoning manager. In recommending approval, she noted that the light industrial classification is in line with the township’s recently approved land use plan. She added that the light industrial use would be compatible with surrounding property uses. John McHugh, an attorney representing the property owner, said that development of the land would be “market driven.” He added that to say a development would be within two years would be too optimistic, but to say five years would be too pessimistic. The other rezoning is for property at 7901 West Sylvania along with a parcel at 3839 Silica. The area of about 17 acres is now zoned for either light industrial use or general commercial. George Oravecz, a consulting engineer on the project, said about 1.5 acres of the property is intended for use as a veterinary clinic and animal hospital.

Senior living facility

A plan by the operators of Oakleaf Village and The Grove on Holland-Sylvania Road to construct a 54-unit, four-story senior living facility received the approval of a conditional use permit and some needed variances by the Sylvania Township board of zoning appeals. For the proposal to go forward, the

City services efficiently and responsibly. We have excellent schools in Sylvania that continue to draw new residents to move here. Just as my family chose Sylvania almost 60 years ago because of the quality of the Sylvania Schools, so do families today. Sylvania also has several excellent private schools, and Lourdes University offering higher education. World class healthcare is right here in Sylvania with Flower Hospital and all the many services that campus has to offer. People travel to Sylvania to be able to use what is right here in our City. We have a wonderful Senior Center. We have a wide diversity of religious opportunities. Our service organizations are active. Our

downtown is growing. Sylvania also has terrific athletic and sports opportunities thanks to the highly successful Sylvania Area Regional Joint Recreation District, one of the first and best in Ohio. One of the best things about Sylvania is the quality of the people living here. We have so many residents volunteering their time in the hospital, in the schools, in recreation programs, in churches and so many more. It never ceases to amaze me how many people are working to make Sylvania a better place. I am thankful to be here in Sylvania. It is a great place to live, work and raise a family. Happy Thanksgiving!

company has asked for re-zoning, which will later be considered by Sylvania Township. The potential structure would be on the north side of the current facility and meant for people who are, “relatively independent, but would benefit from supportive services,” according to the company. Wallick Communities, the owner of the complex, said the new building would have 42 one-bedroom units and 12 two-bedroom units. They estimate about 68 residents would live in the building. Generally developments of this nature require that only 40 percent of the acreage be covered by a building, parking lots, drives, etc. In this instance, there would be 57 percent

coverage specific to the development. The township planning staff noted the issue but pointed out that the overall Oakleaf/Grove development site “is developed and generously landscaped with mature trees, shrubs, etc.” Other variances approved for the proposed development related primarily to distances from property boundaries. The property currently has split zoning and the company has asked that the area zoned as general commercial be rezoned to a planned unit development, and that zoning as a planned unit development also be established for the portion now zoned as residential.

THE MOUSE TRAP

How to Save Your Contact List

You have built up a long and detailed list of friends and family in your contacts. You may have a note attached as well. Some of these people you may not even Janis Weber remember but...What do you do if you lose all this data? DON’T LOSE IT. Save it. Most of us use the Internet for our email and our contacts. If you use Outlook then you can still get back your contacts. Each company has its own way to save your contact list someplace else. What you are looking for in the software is the term EXPORT within your contacts. At the top of the list you will find the Export command under settings or preferences or the three dots or the word MORE. Where is the Google export option for the email software you are using? This is not hard (she said). Once you find the command, click on it. You will be given options such as what format to save it in and where to save it. For all of your online email users, you will want to choose the term CSV to save your contact list. Save the list in a folder where you can remember it. You can just stick it in your documents folder if you don’t have a specific place to put it. CSV stands for Comma Separated Values. In layman terms this means your data will be saved in a format similar to a spreadsheet, like Excel. Each column of information is separated by a comma behind the scenes. Now that you have this list saved you can IMPORT to any other email application by just finding that command. Believe me, it is there. Not if, but when, your

computer crashes you will be happy that you have your contacts in a CVS format and in one of your folders. The important thing here is that you also back up all your files and folders. I have had two clients this week who have lost everything. There’s pretty much nothing you can do about that. Sometimes there is a Hail Mary situation where the computer can wake up one more time through a boot sequence and some other special moves. Then you may have moments to grab your files and save them externally. Don’t be afraid of the Cloud. There are so many to choose from. If you don’t have more than 15 gigs of data, Google Drive will cost you nothing. The money kicks in when you exceed your quota. Did you know that if you own Office Suite 365 you are allotted one terabyte of storage for free? Buy the professional level, which can have multiple users, and share your software. Have each of them each pay a portion for the software. Then they each get one terabyte of storage on Once Drive as well. Please keep that list of user names and passwords on a flash drive, etc. that is not accessible from anywhere. If your computer is compromised you will feel really bad if the bad guy gets this list.

KeyBank and Toledo Zoo invite everyone to kick off the 2018 holiday season at the Lights Before Christmas Opening Night on Friday, Nov. 23. Join the zoo for the much-anticipated tunnel entrance re-opening ceremony at 5 p.m. and stay for the annual tree-lighting ceremony at approximately 6:10 p.m. The opening night ceremonies kick off the five-week long Lights Before Christmas display that, as always, features over $1 million lights, the award-winning Big Tree and more than 200 illuminated animal images spread out across the zoo. The tunnel re-opening ceremony will take place in the Blade Plaza, on the north side of the zoo. At 4 p.m., those who purchased a commemorative subway tile will have first access to the renovated tunnel to locate and see their tile.

U. S. veterans and art in exhibition

Visitors can step into the shoes of veterans from every branch of the military when American Frame, 400 Tomahawk Dr. in Maumee, hosts the Experiencing Veterans and Artists Collaborations Project. American Frame will host the EVAC Project Nov. 5 through Nov. 30. A reception and silent auction will take place at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9, with a silent auction running until 7 p.m. Reservations can be made by calling 419887-8030. Using storytelling and art, the EVAC Project bridges the gap between civilians and veterans by documenting, interpreting and preserving veterans’ stories. EVAC curators interviewed veterans about their experiences, and artists made an edition of prints based on their interpretation of those stories. The prints are exhibited with excerpts from the interviews.

Participating veterans included service from World War II through the Post 9/11 period, and all five branches of the military. Veterans told their stories once, but the experience spreads through time and space because of EVAC’s exhibitions. Participating artists from across the country used a variety of printmaking techniques, including etching, seriography, relief, engraving, mezzotint and more. EVAC gives glimpses into real people’s lived experiences and creates an environment for the viewer that invites a genuine understanding and engagement. The process of storytelling and interpretation central to EVAC makes it a project uniquely positioned to promote empathy from multiple groups – the artist and viewer for the veteran’s experience, and the veteran for the artist’s realization of their stories.

Warren Dick

Warren Harlan Dick, age 86, a native and lifelong Toledoan, died Oct. 26, 2018. Warren was born July 27, 1932, to the late James and Pearl (Brazeau) Dick and graduated from Macomber High School in 1950. He served in the U. S. Army from 1955-56 and then spent four years in the active reserves. Warren married Marge Meszaros on June 11, 1955. He retired as a sergeant in 1988 after more than 30 years of public service with the Toledo Police Department. Warren was a wonderful loving husband and family man who enjoyed traveling with his wife as they visited family and friends in the Carolinas and in Manistee, Mich.; and as they spent time in their winter home in Naples, Fla. He was a longtime member of St. Clement Parish in North Toledo and member of the Fraternal Order of Police Associates and the Toledo Police Retirees. Surviving are his devoted wife of 63 years, Marge; and their children Warren Jr., Brian, Elaina and Darren. He was also preceded in death by his siblings Robert, James and Norma. The family would like to extend special acknowledgement to VITAS Hospice for their caring service. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to the Toledo Humane Society or to St. Jude Children’s Hospital are deeply appreciated.

Michael Warrick

Surrounded by his greatest joy, his family, Michael B. Warrick went home in the early hours of Nov. 1, 2018. Having fought long and courageous, he was defeated by prostate cancer. Michael lived his entire life in Toledo, Ohio. Through all in which he was involved deeply, be it hockey, ballet, work, or the church, Michael has made an indelible mark on the lives of everyone he encountered and came to know. With God and the Catholic Church as his anchor, Michael excelled in everything he set out to accomplish and through his life he had the opportunity to revisit his greatest passions, fulfilling completely, any voids that remained. His favorite sport was hockey and played in a travel league as a teen. As a young adult and even later, he played again for many years as an impressive member of drop-in leagues at both Tam-o-Shanter and the Ice House. He loved the sport and being a life-long N.Y. Rangers fan, he finally got to see them play on their home ice at Madison Square Garden just last year. He began dancing ballet as a young adult to “keep in shape.” For over 30 years, he danced with the Cassandra Ballet School and then the Toledo Ballet. Dancing was a great passion beginning with summer stock in Lockhaven, Penn., as a young adult and culminating later in life with the opportunity to perform professionally with the Bartlesville, Okla. Ballet in Cinderella for Soili Arvola as an Ugly Stepsister. He has been a part of Toledo Ballet’s annual Nutcracker and various ballet productions for almost 30 years and over the past 10 or so, has performed lead roles in each of Michael Lang’s spring productions – something he enjoyed greatly, as it expanded his repertoire to include some acting. He remains a beloved member of the Toledo Ballet. Some of his greatest memories have been sharing the stage with his five daughters and he had that opportunity often. Still of the athlete mindset, Michael most recently enjoyed being a player for the Toledo Jewish Federation Softball League. This activity gave him the opportunity to not only participate in a sport, but more importantly, spend fun, quality time with his brother Tim as well as a great group of guys! The memories he gained from this experience carried him and when he was awarded the Dick Greenblatt Teammate Award at the season-end banquet this year, it brought him to tears. Because of his health challenges, he did not feel deserving of such an honor. Over the past several years, he and his siblings’ bond became the strongest it could be. His relationship with Tim and Michelle, along with their spouses Sharon and David, was a bond that he cherished deeply due to his life-long desire for “family.” Even though all couldn’t meet regularly, the times spent

together at holidays will be unforgettable; Thanksgiving playing football in the front yard and the traditions of Grace and carving the turkey, Christmas with karaoke and Michelle’s scavenger hunts. Michael was the proud owner of Klassic Kuts full service hair salon for the past 14 years and he was a phenomenal hairdresser for the past 35 years. Being a servant leader with great integrity in running a business was of the utmost importance to him and he accomplished that mission without flaw! MOST important to Michael was his faith and it was unshakable to the end. Michael converted to the Catholic faith at the age of 17. Through his catholic life, he was a faithful servant, a Eucharistic minister, and a lector at Rosary Cathedral. He studied under the deaconate program as a younger man, but having some exterior roadblocks through the process, he discerned that it was not his calling. He felt his true calling was to write about his faith and he successfully published his first work – “A Layman’s Journey: In Search of Spirituality.” He continued to write up to the time of his passing, as he felt he had so much more to say. More recently, he founded a men’s fellowship group at Rosary Cathedral – a group to meet once per month to discuss the challenges, rewards, and “how to” of living a faith-based life. We, his family, are all confident that the Lord, upon meeting Michael face to face, has embraced Michael as a gleaming example! Finally, the absolute love of Michael’s life was his family! Michael’s best friend and wife, Sansa, his daughters and eventually their families, brought him the greatest joy this world could offer. Having raised five beautiful daughters with so much love, laughter, trials and fun, he IS so proud of the women they have become! For the past two years, every Sunday has been “family day” and the family would get together for keeping close touch with each other, puzzles and games, playing with grandchildren, watching football with his current and future son-inlaws, and the day winding down with a large home cooked meal. This tradition will continue and he will still be sitting at the head of our table. Leaving to cherish Michael’s precious memory: His wife of 29 years, Sansa; daughters Ariel (Christopher) Clouse, Hannah (Eric) Gauer, Levia (Caleb) Whittum, Semira (Zachary) Greenwood, Talya Warrick and his someday son-in-law John F. Kennedy; grandchildren Zaine, Elijah, Kanaan, Landon, and Novembr; step-mother Audrey Warrick, siblings Timothy J. (Sharon) Warrick, Michelle H. (David) Schmid; nephew Paul Warrick, and nieces Chloe and Emma Schmid, close friends Paul Wernert, Chris Zarecki, Andrew Reinhart, Dino Piccinini, Rob Koenig and Michael Lang. Preceding Michael in death were his father, Bert J. Warrick, and his mother, Jacqueline T. Vermett. The family would like to express a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Timothy Kasunic and the entire team at Toledo Clinic Cancer Center, Dr. Timothy Schuster, and ProMedica Hospice – especially Nurse Kelli Melich who, with her incredible expertise, compassion and kindness, helped Michael’s family through the worst day of their lives. Any donations or memorials may be made in his name to Rosary Cathedral. Condolences may be shared with the family at walkerfuneralhomes.com.

Week of Service benefits local agencies

During the Lourdes Serves 2018 Week of Service from Sept. 30 through Oct. 7, more than 275 students, faculty, staff, administration and alumni completed 880-plus hours of community service at 12 nonprofits within the region. The Lourdes Week of Service initiative, known as #LourdeServes, coincides with the worldwide celebration of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi held on Oct. 4 each year. The feast commemorates the life of St. Francis. A member of the Association of Franciscan Colleges and Universities, Lourdes University and AFCU institutions view education as a vital way of embodying and sharing the good news of God’s action in our world. One way that Lourdes and other AFCU higher education institutions measure the impact of an education is by the degree to which they

serve the larger communities in which students live and work. “This #LourdeServes initiative allows the University to spend time with some of our long-standing community partners, serving and hopefully bringing attention to the needs of the homeless and the marginalized, the populations that St. Francis so frequently challenged us to remember,” said Sr. Barbara Vano, OSF, Director of Campus Ministry and Service Learning. The nonprofits that were served included Bethany House, Connecting Kids to Meals, Helping Hands of St. Louis, Josina Lott, Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity, The Miracle League, Olander Park, Sunshine Communities, Sylvania Area Family Services, Toledo Grows, Toledo Labre Project, and Toledo Seagate Foodbank.

Science Alliance for Valuing the Environment, Inc. presents “The Role of Wetlands in Mitigating Pollutants in Our Landscape and Planet” on Tuesday, November 13 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the Franciscan Center, 6832 Convent Blvd. The event is free and features William Mitsch, Ph.D. The world faces unprecedented threats to its aquatic ecosystems from excessive nutrients caused by agricultural and urban runoff. More than 750 aquatic ecosystems suffer from degraded ecosystem services with impairments including hypoxia, dead zones, and harmful algal blooms. In addition, the atmospheric pool of carbon has increased by 40 percent since industrial times and on a global scale, half

of the original wetlands have been lost. Dr. Mitsch will discuss the current approach of decreasing the nutrient saturation of landscapes and aquatic ecosystems (wetlaculture) which is being tested for agricultural runoff near Toledo, Lake Erie and Buckeye Lake in Ohio, and for urban runoff in Naples, Florida. Director of the Everglades Wetland Research Park, Dr. Mitsch is a Sproul Chair for Southwest Florida Habitat Restoration and Management at Florida Gulf Coast University. He also serves as Professor Emeritus and Founding Director of the Olentangy River Wetland Research Park at The Ohio State University.

A ‘Blue Christmas’ Service is planned for 4 p.m. on Dec. 9, in the narthex of Sylvania United Church of Christ, 7240 Erie St. Just as the holiday season can intensify feelings of warmth, love and excitement for many, this time of year can also magnify feelings of loss, uncertainty, fear and sadness for others. For those dealing with loss of a loved one, major health issues, depression, loneliness, separation from family or friends,

or loss of a job, struggles with or related to addictions, this time of year can be particularly challenging. The service is designed to comfort and support those who are struggling for any reason. All are welcome. Participants are invited to share light refreshments and supportive fellowship following the service.

Pastor Terry Rebert on Reformation Sunday presenting the $2,000 check to Zion Food Pantry with the support of all members of Zion Lutheran Church in attendance. After hearing about 41 million Americans who in one way or another face hunger issues, the Women of Zion at Zion Lutheran Church in Ottawa Lake, Mich., decided to put their faith and talents into action. On Oct. 13 they sponsored a German dinner to assist the needy in their community. With over 160 people served and an inspiring presentation and book signing by Dr. Murray Howe concerning his father, Gordie Howe, the Women of Zion raised $2,000 to donate to the food pantry program. “Due to the crowd, literally all the members of Zion were involved in making the dinner a successful community event,” said Wolfgang Drescher, German food consultant and organizer. “From potato peelers to dessert makers and dishwashers I was amazed to see servants in Christ using their time and talents for a cause greater than their own interests.”

“The communities of Ottawa Lake, Whiteford and the greater Toledo area are filled with some of the best acres on God’s globe to feed the world,” stated Pastor Terry Rebert of Zion Lutheran. “Farmers, the unsung heroes of America, get up before sunrise and often are found working their fields by moonlight to feed the hungry and needy of the world. It was a blessing to see so many of them in attendance and for one brief evening to see them relax and have a plate full of food which in one way or another they harvested.” The food pantry at Zion, located at 8307 Memorial Hwy., is under the direction of Rick Keck. The pantry is open to the public on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. All hungry individuals and families are invited to freely gather food for their dinner table.
