A Special Supplement

to

By Mike McHoneHerald Writer

Belt-tightening seems to be the name of the game when it comes to economics and government budgets as of late. Some cities are able to do so without many problems but some are not. Sylvania, fortunately, falls into the former category.

“The budget deficit has been cut from $1.7 million to $559,671, and it will not, in any way, affect our current service levels,” city council president Todd Milner said at the Sylvania City Council meeting on Feb. 7.

During Mr. Milner’s report on the recent Finance Committee meeting, he said that money would also be allotted to go toward the upkeep and maintenance of street repairs for the rest of the year, to the tune of $100,000. They also discussed providing a private contractor to cut ash trees on private property and allow the cost to be assessed to the property owner.

After Mr. Milner’s report, a motion was made to make appropriations for current expenditures and other expenditures for the city for the fiscal year ending on Dec. 31. The motion was passed unanimously.

Toward the end of the meeting, council member Mike Brown said he had attended a wind turbine seminar in Blissfield, Michigan which was held on Feb. 5 at the Blissfield Middle School.

The seminar was organized by the Interstate Informed Citizens Coalition, a group of residents from Palmyra Township, Riga Township, Blissfield, Ogden Township and Sylvania, who are against wind farm implementation in the area. The theme of the event was to show the effects a wind farm has on a community, the science behind wind technology, how a wind farm may hurt property values and other concerns like noise and decibel levels.

“I went in with an open mind,” Mr. Brown said. He said that he had heard, in the past, that by shifting to wind energy it would help the United States get away from foreign oil dependency. However, at the seminar, it was revealed that only one percent of the nation is powered by foreign oil. The remaining 99 percent comes from coal, nuclear, hydro or other forms of green energy.

Mr. Brown also stated that a prevalent idea throughout the pro wind farm stance is that it would help greatly reduce carbon

dioxide emissions. “It’s estimated that wind

mills will reduce it by 1.3 to 1.8 percent,” he said.

He added later that it was presented that the cost of coal energy is $.44 per megawatt usage, whereas wind turbines run up to $23 per megawatt. Mr. Brown said that he had trouble understanding the math until the presenters at the seminar said that much of the cost is geared toward the power companies being required to maintain certain power levels, as well as maintenance on the power grids and lines.

Wind can only supplement power as energy companies are required to have enough energy during peak usage times.

“They can’t do away with coal generated power plants,” Mr. Brown said. “If there’s no wind, there’s no power, so they have to ramp up the coal generated plants, or the nuclear, or the hydro, to make sure there’s sufficient power for usage.”

The proposed site for the turbines is west of the Sylvania city limits.

Other business discussed that night:

The council voted unanimously to approve the appointment of Bruce Groves to the Board of Trustees of Sylvania Area Joint Recreation District (SAJRD) to fill the unexpired term of Gregory D. Stalter.

“Mr. Groves is highly qualified,” council member Mark Luetke said. “He has a degree and teaches recreational management.” Mr. Luetke said that Mr. Groves was ready to take on the position. Mr. Stalter resigned over health reasons.

Service Director Jeffrey Ballmer reported on the bids the city had received for the Centennial/Little Waterline Project, for work to be done in preparation for the new water tower. According to Mr. Ballmer, a bid was made by Underground Utilities, Inc. The council voted unanimously to award the contract to them, authorizing the expenditure for the improvements in the amount of $430,518.30.

Also that night, the council voted to authorize the mayor and director of finance to expend $14,400 to go towards landscaping and irrigation projects related to the Sylvania Gateway Project. Another motion was made authorizing the mayor and director of finance to enter into an agreement with the Board of County Commissioners of Lucas County for after hours animal control services by the Dog Warden of Lucas County. Both votes were unanimous.

Budget deficit, wind farms discussed at council meeting

SYLVANIA- The Sylvania Northview Wildcat ice hockey team captured the inaugural Northwest Hockey Conference Red Division tournament championship title on Feb. 13 with a decisive 7-3 win over the top-rated St. Francis Knights at Sylvania Tam-O-Shanter in the league’s first-ever post-season tournament.

This is the first year that the NHC has implemented a post-season tournament to determine the league champion. St. Francis claimed the regular season title with Northview taking the runner-up honors. The last time that the Wildcats claimed the conference title was three years ago during the 2007-2008 season, when under the previous NHC format, the team with the most points at the conclusion of the regular season won the league title. St. Francis is the defending conference champion.

Northview’s third-year head coach Mike Jones stated he was proud of the way his young charges played. “I think that they have got to feel good about going out and getting the job done today and winning the league tournament.”

“Hats off to them,” Jones declared, “They did a great job.”

When asked after the game about the importance of winning the Red Division title Jones stated, “We’ve only done it seven times in 36 years. Within our room it means a lot. I don’t know if it does around the league but it certainly does in our room.” Jones went on to say, “Any time [we have] a chance to be a champion we’re are going to try to take advantage of that and our boys were fortunate to do that today.”

In order for the Wildcats to reach the championship game in the league’s new format for crowning a divisional champion, they needed a dramatic 3-2 overtime win over the St. John’s Titans in the semi-final game on Feb. 12 night. Junior Tyler Harding netted the winning goal for Northview.

In the title game, the Wildcats opened up a quick 2-0 advantage on respective goals by senior forward Ryan LaPlante and senior center Nolan Culver. LaPlante

scored at the 12:11 mark in the period. Culver poked the puck into the net 14-seconds later after St. Francis goaltender junior Thomas Kosinski momentarily lost sight of the puck when it bounced off of his pads and drop to the ice in front of the net.

St. Francis, who entered the game as the number one ranked Division 1 team in the state according to the recent coach’s poll, evened the score at 2-2 before the period ended. Freshman forward Matt Opblinger scored on a power play at the 6:30 mark for the Knights and junior forward Josh Cline tied the score with less than two minutes remaining in the period

For St. Francis, this was as close as the Knights would get for the remainder of the contest.

Northview used the man-advantage in the second period as Culver netted his second goal of the game to give the Wildcats a 3-2 lead which they never relinquished. Junior forward Nick LaPlante scored on a power play to close out the period with Northview on top 4-2.

Senior defenseman Graham Kelsey opened the third period scoring at the 14:43 mark increasing the Northview lead to 5-2.

Less than a minute after the Kelsey goal, St. Francis junior Reid Kersey found an open corner of the net off of a rebound to pull the Knight to within two goals at

5-3.Wildcat freshman forward

Cody Estrel and senior forward Aaron Booth secured the win for Northview with their respective goals in the final period.

Senior center Nolan Culver explained that the team felt that they played flat against St. John’s Jesuit dropping a 4-3 decision to the Titans during their last regular season game played on Jan. 29. He said the team has worked hard in their practices leading up to this past weekend’s tournament games.

“[Last] week in practice we just [bore] down,” Culver stated. “We probably had the best week of practice that we’ve had all year and I think that it lead this weekend to two good wins against two good teams.”

“Whenever you beat a team like St. Francis,” Culver said, “with that much skill and that much

talent -- they’re that good -- it’s a good morale booster. It’s good for the team and it’s a good win.”

Northview, who is currently ranked number 4 in the coach’s poll, lost 4-1 in the state championship game last year to Cleveland St. Ignatius after winning 11 straight games to reach the title game. The Wildcats hope to make another run at capturing their first state hockey championship this season. Northview has finished as the state runner-up four times (1982, 1990, 2006, 2010) but has yet to bring home the coveted championship trophy.

The state playoffs begin this week with the second-seeded Wildcats taking on Perrysburg at Sylvania Tam-O-Shanter on Feb. 17 at 8:00 p.m.

A new state ice hockey champion will be crowned at Nationwide Arena in Columbus on March 13.

A victory would have kept the Northview LadyKats alone at the top of the Northern Lakes League but Perrysburg was not willing to give in that easily. It was a battle for possession of the top spot on Feb. 12 as the LadyKats (15-3 overall, 11-1 NLL) traveled to Perrysburg to take on the Yellow Jackets (15-2, 10-1 NLL). Perrysburg emerged victorious and the two teams now share first place in the league with just a couple games left in the season.

Northview scored first on a jump shot by forward Jessica Jessing, but Perrysburg guard Kelsea Newman answered with a 3-pointer. The two teams traded baskets, and then another 3-pointer by Newman tied the game at eight points each. Northview jumped out to a five point lead on shots by Miriam Justinger, Katelynn McCoy, and Valerie Sohasky with the old-fashioned three point play. Perrysburg responded with an

11-point run as each of their starters scored to end the first quarter. At the end of the first, Northview trailed 21-15.

Skylar Rose hit a 3-pointer early in the second quarter but strong play by Perrysburg forward Nicole Delas gave the Yellow Jackets a 27-20 lead. After Delas left the game with an ankle injury, Northview scored the next six points on a free throw by Rose, a 3-pointer by Tori Busby, and a layup by Justinger to end the half down by just one, 27-26.

Both teams came out shooting in the third quarter. Northview scored fourteen points in the frame as Jessing had eight points, and Rose, Sohasky and Justinger each added 2. Perrysburg countered with fifteen points, as Newman added two more 3-pointers and a jump shot, and Kayla Vandervlucht added a layup. Perrysburg led 42-40 after three quarters of play.

The LadyKats were unable to take the lead in the fourth

quarter. Scoring by Rose, Sohasky, and Justinger was not enough, as Northview was forced to foul, putting

Perrysburg at the free throw line, where they clinched the win by making nine foul shots in the final period. The final score was Perrysburg 59, Northview 53.

When asked what went wrong, Northview Coach Jerry Sigler answered, “They just outplayed us, their post people pretty much dominated us.”

With regard to scoring, he said, “We didn’t shoot very well, we didn’t get to the foul line like we did last time. I knew that would be a concern.”

Justinger led Northview in scoring with 16 points. Jessing and Rose added 12 points each and Sohasky had 8. Newman led all scorers with 22 points, while Delas added 14 and Vandervlucht had 12 for Perrysburg.

Perrysburg and Northview now share possession of first place in the league. Northview will need victories against Rossford and Bowling Green to maintain their share of the NLL title.

Academy senior Lauren Duncan of Sylvania had a tough decision between two strong collegiate cross country and track teams– the University of Dayton and Central Michigan University. She made her final decision and the Chippewas of Central Michigan will have a new runner next season.

Duncan started running with her mother in the park before starting her official career in sixth grade at St. Joseph School in Sylvania. She continued her cross country career at McCord Junior High for seventh and eighth grade. She made the Eagle varsity cross country team as a freshman and has been earning honors ever since.

She has been First Team, All City and First Team, All District all four years. She was First Team, All Region for two years and All State her junior year. A captain for the cross country team, she set a strong example during practice, at races and in the classroom earning All City

Academic and All State Academic honors. She is a four-year member of the track team in the 4x800 meter relay and as a single participant in the 800 meter and 1600 meter. She earned her varsity letter in both cross country and track for four years. She also swam for the Eagles for two years.

She is a member of the Pep Club and participated in the Junior Academy Big Sis/Little Sis program. She

was part of the Christmas in Appalachia service program and also has served in the children’s liturgy program at St. Joseph Sylvania Parish and as a volunteer in local soup kitchens.

Duncan signed her letter of intent at a ceremony with four other Notre Dame Academy seniors. The school celebrated with a pep rally on Feb. 9. The athletes made their commitments in front of the entire student body, college

and high school coaches, families and teammates.

Along with Duncan, the other athletes signing letters of intent were Kaila Gardner to attend Kent State University for track, Elizabeth Treece to attend Siena Heights University for softball, Megan McNamara to attend Wright State University for tennis and Meghan Smyth to attend University of Toledo for volleyball.

Arbor Hills students, under teachers Anne Heinl and Sarah Godwin, took time from their traditional social studies classroom activities to learn a valuable lesson in civics. Students made 150 individual valentines for each of the veterans in the VA hospital in Ann Arbor. The valentines were then hand-delivered over the weekend by the teaching staff who also purchased candy for out-patient veterans. Patients in the hospital cannot accept treats.

SYLVANIA- Before Lourdes College began play in several sports this fall and winter, coaches and administrators had much to plan. In addition to finding student-athletes to compete in the games and matches the school needed a nickname, team colors, a mascot and a fight song. Also not to be forgotten was the formation of a spirit squad to help cheer on the Gray Wolves to victory.

Seven Lourdes students came together to form the college’s first spirit squad. They made their debut appearance at the first home varsity men’s basketball game in late November. The students, most with cheerleading background, began practicing as a team just a couple of weeks before that game.

Recent marketing graduate Ori Orozco was the force behind getting the squad organized. She said she originally wanted to get a few girls together just to cheer during the first home basketball game. While it took the squad a little longer than she anticipated being ready to “go live,” they were able to field a partial squad for the school’s first-ever home basketball game.

“Cheering has been a passion and a big part of their lives,” Orozco said of the students who are choreographing the team’s cheers and dances while practicing on their own time. A graduate of Whitmer High School with 17 years of cheerleading experience, Orozco doubled as the team’s coach through the first two home games. Because she graduated from Lourdes in December, she has chosen to continue on only as the team’s coach.

Getting enough girls together to form a team was not difficult. Many of the students on the squad had inquired at one time or another if Lourdes was going to have a spirit squad when they found out athletics were being added. Junior Kayla Brownfield had spoken with administrators about the potential to form a competitive cheer and dance squad. When the College approved a cheer team for basketball, the team came together quickly.

“When I found out the spirit squad was being formed for this basketball season I was ecstatic, words can’t even express how happy I was,” Brownfield, a junior early childhood education major who also is a Whitmer graduate, said. “So far the experience has been amazing. The squad is coming together nicely, and we all share a passion for cheering on the sidelines and competitively.”

Amy Mergen, Lourdes director of admissions, is

the spirit squad’s advisor. She is present for all of the team’s practices and performances.

“The squad does a great job of interacting with the crowd and brings them into the game as more of a participant than just a spectator,” she said. “The squad could have easily been put on hold until next year, but these students were excited and driven. It just shows that at Lourdes the enthusiasm and engagement of the students can make things happen.”

For the time being the spirit squad will perform only at home games. Squad members expect the team to grow and hope it will one day be approved to be a varsity sport. Currently, it has club sport status.

Other members of the cheer squad include Carlie Creque, freshman nursing major, from Arlington, OH; Kristin Wilson, freshman early childhood education major, from Evergreen High School; Alyssa Orozco, junior early childhood education major, from Whitmer High School; Daniella Mazzocca, adolescence to young adult education major from Central Catholic High School; and Ariana Taylor, nursing major from Monroe High School.

ST. URSULA ACADEMY

Spring Information MeetingSunday, February 27, at Noon

The 16th annual Christ Child Celebrity Wait Night was held at Zia’s and Real Seafood on Feb. 7. Today, celebrity wait nights are very popular ways to raise funds but this concept was first brought to Northwest Ohio in 1996 by Christ Child So-ciety. The event continues to grow each year with over 500 attendees this year.

Mike Gibbons, the own-ers of the restaurants, and many of the thirty waiters were on hand to greet the guests. Waiters for the event are community leaders who encourage their friends to “Give from Your Heart” which was the theme of the event.

Chairman Candy Sturtz and her committee members Ann Marie Blank, Marcia Cyranowski, Diana Gabel, Carol Khoury, Charlene Kuhn and Carol Pickett as well as Mary Murnen, presi-dent of the Christ Child So-ciety, worked diligently to make this affair a success and it was evident from the laughter emanating from the tables in the restaurant. Many of the “celebrity” wait staff used delightful trinkets to entice the giving.

The dinner was superb; there were so many choices and the restaurant chefs are to be commended along with the waiters on staff who worked attentively to make sure everything was served in a timely manner. The charm-ing table decorations were designed by Bartz Viviano Florist, a long-time supporter of the organization.

The event will raise over $30,000 for the Christ Child programs. This national or-ganization was founded in 1887 dedicated to the wel-fare of children. The Toledo Chapter was organized in 1990 and aids the communi-ty through several programs including distributing 800 layettes to needy families, the Clothe-A-Child program, Parenting Today’s Kids and tutoring support. Last year, the organization contributed

11,000 hours of volunteer service.

Guests at the event includ-ed Keith and Katie Walker, Bob and Linda Helmer, Kitsie and Jim Valiton, Judy and John Gorun, Lou Ann Kornowa, Bob and Mary Ellen Bernardo, Henry and Karen DeMain, Terry and Denise Benton, Mary Pat Anderson, Barbara and Ken Bro, Carol and Harold Leupp and Mary and Bob Arquette.

Heart and Soul 2011It snowed six unexpected

inches that day but over 300 supporters still showed up to the annual Heart & Soul 2011 Caring for the Commu-nity held at the Suites Level Lounge at Fifth Third Field on Feb. 5. The area was set up beautifully in shades of red.

Grazing stations were placed strategically through-out the concourse so you could mingle, sample and visit the overloaded silent

auction tables. There were many items and bidding was fast and furious.

This event began six years ago when Tony Rasczyk and Sally Binard put their heads together and held the first event at Grumpy’s in down-town Toledo. The first event was standing room only and has grown through the years; what a tribute!

The event is held to raise awareness for mental illness and help erase the stigma associated with it. Proceeds will go toward enhancing

Harbor’s Resource Center at Monroe Street, patient facil-ity upgrades at the Northwest Ohio Psychiatric Hospital, and a transportation fund to assist with purchasing a handicapped accessible van for the Thomas M. Wernert Center.

Please send all informa-tion to Pat Nowak, Sylvania Herald, 5700 Monroe St., Suite 406, Sylvania 43560, or e-mail to [email protected]. Please make sure to send information in time for publication deadlines.

Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce announces last call for expo

SYLVANIA- With the recent heavy snow accumulation, the Sylvania Township Fire Depart-ment would like to ask everyone to adopt the fire hydrant closest to their homes or businesses and keep it free of snow during the winter.

At a fire, the Fire Department must quickly locate and gain a water supply source from the closest fire hydrant. If the fire hydrant is buried by snow, it is difficult to find and valuable time must be spent digging it out. It may take several minutes to dig out a fire hydrant buried by snow. The delay in securing a water supply from a fire hydrant could disrupt the timely manner in which firefighters are able to

fight the fire and may allow the fire to grow.

To make a fire hydrant as accessible as possible, please clear a path approximately 3 feet around the hydrant and shovel a path to the street or the roadway up to the fire hydrant. The Fire Department also asks everyone to consider helping a neighbor with a medical condition or who is elderly, by shoveling out a fire hydrant in front of his or her home. This act of kindness will benefit the entire neighborhood.

If you notice a fire hydrant has been damaged, is missing caps or is leaking water, please notify the Sylvania Township Fire Department by calling 419-882-7676.

I write wonderful columns in my sleep- deeply philosophical, great topics, Pulitzer-Prize-winning works to stir the soul. But, by morning’s light, I can’t even remember what they were about.

Dreams are difficult to recall but memories of our past are a different story.

I can remember how customers had to parallel park at the old Sylvania Post Office on Main Street. If I couldn’t find a spot I could just pull into, I would drive around and around until I found one. That site is now an office building, and I don’t know if clients have to parallel park.

Getting a pedicure at the beauty salon on the northeast corner of Sylvania at McCord is vivid in my memory because it was in a building that once housed the Church of the Nazarene (before that, it was a school). It’s now a RiteAid at that corner.

Looking back at ancient yearbook photos, the seniors always look so funny looking and old. Old-fashioned hairstyles, dated eyeglass frames and clothing always made them appear to be about 30 years old. I righteously felt that didn’t apply to my generation. Yet, if I happen to see a bevy of prom goers at a restaurant in the spring, I always think, “Gosh…look at those dresses, and their hair, and their makeup! I can’t believe they’re in high school!” So logically, I guess my senior photo is just as dated.

I just read the new book written by Marlo Thomas. You know her; she’s married to Phil Donahue, the old talk show host. She was the star of “That Girl” and was the real-life daughter of Danny Thomas of “Make Room For Daddy,” one of my favorite old shows. Read this paragraph to anyone under thirty, and they will say “Who???”

Remember when,

if someone received annoying crank phone calls, they’d have to file a police report? Then a tap would be installed on their phone line to find out who was making the calls? There was no such thing as caller ID, then; it would have made the process so much simpler. Long distance calls were so expensive, it was a special occasion to call someone far away!

There are many more Sylvania memories I can recall, like when Sylvania branch library moved into the Major Magic plaza while they were renovating their building. I took my kids for story-time there, and it looked so weird seeing the books crammed into such a tiny storefront space. Many items were in storage for that year and not even available. I’m sure glad it happened, though, because our current Sylvania library branch is so beautiful and a true joy to visit.

I recall the brief time when the Burger King on Monroe Street, now gone, had a giant inflatable jumping thing set up. We had never seen such a thing at a hamburger place before. Now, inside playgrounds are common.

My favorite discount shopping was done at Basix or the Pharm. Just memories now. Every now and then, I come across an old package in my cupboard with one of their price stickers on it. Nowadays, there aren’t even price stickers!

I may not recall what I had for lunch yesterday, but old memories are vivid. What are your old fond Sylvania memories? Share them at [email protected] or 419-318-9632 and they could appear in a future column!

The Week Ahead: Feb. 20 through Feb. 26, 2011

Aries (March 21-Apr. 19)When it comes to finances, it’s really important to use caution

and balance when spending money. If you are planning to make a purchase, next week will be a much better time energetically to do so. Stay grounded this week and everything will work out.

Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)Relationship issues come to a head this week. What have

you been avoiding in your life? Whatever it is face up to it and have the conversation you need to have in order to clear the air. Don’t be afraid of the outcome. It will go better than what you think it will.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)Issues with family arise this week when there is a lack of

communication. Your frustration gets to a boiling point and you just can’t take it anymore. Speak your mind but it’s best to use caution with your words. Remember you can’t always take them back.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)There’s a lot of energy and a lot of needed space for you this

week. That long-needed break that you’ve been wanting for the last few months is finally here. Take time for yourself and don’t make a lot of plans. Remember to just be in the moment and breathe.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)Emotions are up and down this week making you feel very

uncertain about things in your life. Know that outcomes can always change depending upon what you embrace and how much you love inside. Take time to put positive thoughts in your mind and release negative ones.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Over the last three weeks, you haven’t been feeling well and

finally you are getting your energy back. Now, it’s time to talk about the things you have been tucking away. Make sure that you use clarity in your conversations with the people in your life.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)It’s time this week to really, really set some goals and make

some decisions. Make sure the balance you are looking for is about you. Get in touch with what is deep down inside your heart. You might be surprised at what you can make manifest when you do this.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)This week is all about letting go of the things that you hold

against yourself. You know that self blame, doing bad things and feeling sorry for yourself does not serve your highest good. Let go and forgive yourself. It’s time to manifest new beginnings.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)This is a week that feels a little up and down. You’ve been

feeling like you are not sure which way you are going. If you have been dating a Sagittarius, you may feel like your head is spinning. Take time this week to find clarity. Quick decisions aren’t always the best.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Financial issues come up this week as you find yourself

in a little bit of a bind. Don’t fret because it’s only temporary. Holding negative thoughts and worrying will only make matters worse. So, stay positive and things will ease up for you sooner than you think.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)This is the week for you to breathe. Things have been crazy

over the past couple of months. It’s important to spend time with your family. Communication is also important so speak up. When you know what you need to say, you will be heard. Don’t be afraid.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)This is a good time to write down some affirmations and

firm intentions on where you want to go and what you want to do. Remember this time is all about setting goals and also about knowing that when you reach deep into your heart anything is possible.

Letters to the Editor

Dear neighbors, My family and I recently

moved to Sylvania. Before we decided on Sylvania, my wife spent hours researching the schools all the way from Dundee to Toledo and ultimately chose to live here based on that comparison. We figured that if the schools are good, then the city must be safe, city services must be superb and the residents must be the kind of people we would like to have as neighbors. That is, good schools meant good neighborhoods. When the levy issue failed last November we started to worry. My wife and I are well educated so we are not worried about our daughter’s education. We have the capacity to teach her what she needs to learn. I am, however, worried about the environment in which she grows up. If the schools are not well funded, then the city will lose what makes it Sylvania. Home values will certainly go down, driving down the taxes collected by the city. As a result the infrastructure will crumble, city services will get worse and Sylvania will not be a place where people will want to move. I understand that some people are annoyed after passing a levy just two years ago. We are

asked to pass another one, an operating levy this time. Times are tougher now and we are trying to save as much as we can. But according to the Community Update 2010, the levy’s cost would be $150 a year for the owner of a $100,000 home. According to Wikipedia the median income of a household in Sylvania is about $74,000. Is this really a high price to pay? We will be living in this city for a long time and we must approach this important issue rationally and not emotionally. We must think long term. If you heard that a city of 20,000 residents is laying off 100 teachers, would you choose to move there? If the schools get worse, what sort of neighborhood and neighbors do you expect to have? Isn’t $150 a year (for a $100,000 home) a small price to pay, versus risking a further drop in your property value? What sort of city would you like to live in, and what is it worth to you to live there? Those are the questions we must ask ourselves.

It is very easy to tarnish a good reputation but very hard to build one.

S. SahutogluSylvania

To the Editor:

Winter weather has blanketed much of the nation over the past several weeks, and the storms are taking a toll on all of us. Perhaps even more important is the impact this weather has had on our nation’s blood supply.

You may not realize it, but every two seconds, someone in the United States needs a blood transfusion. The American Red Cross was forced to cancel more than 750 blood drives in January alone, resulting in a shortfall of over 28,000 scheduled blood donations.

To help build the blood supply back up to sufficient levels, the Red Cross has introduced “Recovery 2011.” This campaign is designed to reach out to eligible donors to ask them to make and keep blood donation appointments as soon as they are able to do so. It also aims to

encourage organizations to step up and reschedule a canceled blood drive, agree to host an emergency blood drive or increase their existing blood drive goal by 10%.

The Red Cross is grateful to those who responded to our appeal for blood donations, yet the need is still great. Now is a great time to join the “Recovery 2011” initiative and help meet the needs of patients in our local community. Please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to find out more about this program or to make an appointment to donate at a blood drive near you.

Sincerely,

Donald L. Baker, CEOAmerican Red Cross

TOLEDO– A wide range of styles and techniques used by leading European artists to tell stories visually is showcased in The Dramatic Image: Baroque Prints of the 17th Century, a new exhibition at the Toledo Museum of Art.

Approximately 80 etchings, engravings and woodcuts from the museum’s collection of prints from the 17th century through the early 18th century are on view Feb. 25–July 31 in the Works on Paper Galleries.

The free exhibition includes prints by such notable artists as Annibale Carracci, Agostino Carracci, Salvator Rosa,

Jusepe de Ribera, Claude Lorrain, Christoffel Jegher, Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione and Jacques Callot. Many are the same individuals who inspired contemporary Columbian artist Fernando Botero (born 1932), whose work is the focus of the touring exhibition The Baroque World of Fernando Botero that opens later this spring at the museum.

Tom Loeffler, who organized the print exhibition, noted that the Baroque period, roughly 1600– 1750, was inspired by the Catholic Church, which wanted to display realistic images to influence its congregation. Artists responded by

creating works of art that show emotion and tell stories in dramatic ways.

In Italy, Baroque works were mainly about religious themes, but in northern Europe, artists focused more on landscapes and scenes from the daily lives of common people, said Loeffler, who is associate curator of works on paper at the museum.

The Dramatic Image: Baroque Prints of the 17th Century is made possible by Toledo Museum of Art members and supported in part through the sustainable grant program of the Ohio Arts Council.

An exhibition catalog will be available online at www.toledomuseum.org.

This picture shows an etching and drypoint print circa 1663 entitled The Fall of Giants by Salvator Ross. It is part of a display of Baroque artists coming to the Toledo Museum of Art on Feb. 25

TOLEDO- Ridership on Toledo Area Regional Para-transit Service (TARPS) buses reached record levels in 2010. However, ridership on the other bus services provided by the Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA) declined in the nine-community service area in Northwest Ohio.

“We’re elated TARPS continues to prove its value to the transportation chal-lenged in the area and hope to provide even more ser-vice to this important cus-tomer base in the future,” James K. Gee, TARTA’s general manager said.

TARPS is one of sev-eral services provided by TARTA, including regu-larly scheduled service along specific routes, seven days a week; Call-A-Ride, door-to-door service in six suburban communities; and shuttle service to Toledo Mud Hen and Walleye pro-fessional sporting events. Both TARPS and Call-A-Ride are call-in-advance services to arrange pickup times.

“In evaluating TARTA’s non-TARPS 2010 rider-ship, we have to consider the overriding impacts of the following events: the Toledo Board of Education dropping most non-yellow bus service in September; sweeping reductions in ser-vice at the first of the year as a result of falling prop-erty tax values and increas-ing foreclosures; and the impact of ‘comparatively’ low fuel prices for private vehicles,” Gee said.

2010’s TARPS rider-ship marked 14 consecu-tive years of record usage. TARPS ridership climbed to 219,257 passenger trips in 2010 compared to 183,997 passenger trips in 2009.

“Furthermore, TARPS usage continued to climb and set a new monthly re-cord during January 2011, when usage exceeded 20,000 passenger trips for the first time in the handi-capped service’s 22-year history,” Gee said.

This January, TARPS recorded 20,450 passenger trips, exceeding the former record of 19,977 passen-ger trips set in November 2010.

Overall, 62 percent of TARTA’s non-TARPS rid-ership reduction was the result of Toledo Public Schools cutting TARTA’s student service.

Total non-TARPS rider-ship was down by 776,444 riders, a 23 percent reduc-tion compared 2009’s total ridership. Of that reduced number, 485,319, or 62 per-cent, of those rides were in the student category, defined as students riding TARTA buses using passes from Toledo Public Schools.

“At the beginning of 2010, we didn’t anticipate TPS’s action. It turned out to be the largest category of ridership reduction record-ed by TARTA for the year,” Gee said.

Also, effective Dec. 27, 2009, TARTA was forced to put into effective sweeping schedule revisions based on projections it would lose $900,000 in tax revenue as a result of falling prop-erty tax values and increas-ing foreclosures. TARTA’s main source of revenue is two property tax levies.

These changes impacted all of TARTA’s nine service areas and involved the ma-jority of its fixed-line ser-vice routes, including elim-ination of some routes, and changes in frequency for Call-A-Ride and TARPS. The cutbacks represented six percent of TARTA’s to-tal service.

“As it turned out, our budget loss from tax rev-enue reductions was higher than expected at slightly more than $1 million; and the service cuts, as expect-ed, resulted in ridership losses,” Gee said.

Gee also pointed to “comparatively” low fuel costs in 2010 as a reason many individuals chose to drive their vehicles in-stead of using TARTA’s service. Average price for regular gas in Ohio fluctu-ated during 2010 from a low of $2.41 per gallon of regular gas in mid-February to a high of $3.18 per gallon of regular gas on Dec. 29, according to the web site ohiogasprices.com.

TARTA’s 2010 total non-TARPS ridership was 3,298,806, a reduction from 4,075,250 in 2009.

FINDLAY- The University of Findlay’s third Economic Summit, which this year will focus on the free enterprise system, will be held on March 4 from 8 a.m.- 4 p.m. in the Winebrenner Theological Seminary’s TLB Convocation Center.

Kevin Moley, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, will deliver the opening keynote presentation, “Free Enterprise Conquers the Globe,” at 8 a.m. Following the keynote, a series of six discussion sessions will examine the relationships between free enterprise and the government, local economic development, small business, the health care system and the venture capital market, as well as the future of free enterprise.

“We face many economic challenges in this country, ad there seems to be a increasing skepticism about our continued reliance on the free enterprise system to help us address these challenges. The purpose of the UF Economic Summit is to allow our students, as well as other students and members of the greater community, to critically examine our

free enterprise system and its ability to serve as the foundation of the solutions we might employ to solve these problems,” Paul Sears, Ph.D., dean of the College of Business said. “We believe the role of a University is to offer perspectives from the most informed minds available, to help shape our students’ thought processes, broaden their perspectives and inspire their future careers.”

Planned panel discussions include:

· “Venture Capital and the Free Enterprise System,” moderated by Greg Knudson, director of Rocket Ventures (9-9:50 a.m.)

· “The Role of Government in the Free Enterprise System,” moderated by Terry McGann, principal of California Strategies & Advocacy LLC (10-10:50 a.m.)

· “Getting the Work of Local Economic Development Done,” moderated by Chris Ward, Ed.D., associate professor of business administration (11-11:50 a.m.)

· “The State of Area Small Businesses and the Free Enterprise System,” moderated by Jim Zellner, marketing manager for Findlay Publishing Co. (1-1:50 p.m.)

· “The Free Enterprise System and Health Care,” moderated by Josephine Kershaw, Ph.D., associate professor health care management (2-2:50 p.m.)

· “Future Prospects for the Free Enterprise System,” moderated by Paul Sears, Ph.D., dean of the College of Business (3-3:50 p.m.)

The summit is open to

all, and there is no cost to attend.

The event is sponsored by Findlay Publishing Co., the Hancock County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Rocket Ventures and The University of Findlay. For more information, contact Sears at 419-434-4704 or visit www.findlay.edu, keyword: Economic Summit.

SYLVANIA- Judi Nath, PhD, professor of biology and health sciences at Lourdes College, is co-author of Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology – 9th Edition, alongside Frederic (“Ric”) H. Martini, author of this best-selling textbook series.

Released last month, the 9th edition has been substantially revised and is regarded as the most readable and visually effective edition to date. Published by the Benjamin-Cummings Publishing Company, the text is supported by Practice Anatomy Lab™ (PAL™) 3.0 and MasteringA&P™ and includes new spotlight figures integrating text and visuals for easy reading.

This is the fifth textbook Dr. Nath has authored or co-authored. Her previous texts include Anatomy & Physiology – 2nd Edition, Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology – 8th Edition and Using Medical Terminology: A Practical Approach and Visual Anatomy & Physiology – 1st Edition which will be released in its final version this April.

Of her experience serving as writer of academic texts she notes, “Most of my books are on a three-year revision

cycle. As soon as one publishes, I have to begin work on another. It really is a never-ending process and I always have a ‘working copy’ sitting on my desktop. I am continually marking notes for corrections, suggestions, additions, deletions and re-organization for the next edition.”

Dr. Nath says the first book she wrote was in fact decades before ever becoming a published author. “I still have two books that I wrote on anatomy in the 5th grade - apparently I was destined to enter biology and become an academic author!”

An accomplished educator, award-winning teacher, and author, Dr.

Nath joined the Lourdes community in 1992. Her accomplishments include serving as Chair of the Department of Biology & Health Sciences (2001-2003), developing a hybrid pharmacology course and opening a cadaver lab on the former Sandusky site of Lourdes. In addition to her teaching career, Dr. Nath also dedicates time to the Human Anatomy & Physiology Society, where she has served as a member of the board of directors and as central regional director and secretary. She received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Bowling Green State University and her Ph.D. from The University of Toledo.
