The home was heavily damaged by the fre. The two occupants were treated at the scene and transported to Flower Hospital. Both were inside the home when the fre started and needed to escape through the thick smoke. The Sylvania Fire Department encourages everyone to take the time right now to check and test their smoke detectors to assure they are in working order. More than 66 percent of home fre deaths occurred in homes without a working smoke detector. A working smoke detector can double the chances of surviving a deadly home fre.

HollidayHerald WriterMid-May has brought plenty of rainy days to northwest Ohio, but the weather improved long enough on Thursday, May 12, for merchants in downtown Sylvania to present Downtown Delights. The sun was shining as stores opened their doors to welcome spring (and plenty of shoppers and browsers) to the businesses in the downtown area. From 5:00-8:00 p.m., Main Street was flled with people enjoying the music, refreshments, and wine tasting at the event promoting downtown businesses.Business owners joined together to present a special raffe of more than 30 prizes. Visitors to the stores collected signatures from several of the businesses on a special raffe card and were able to qualify for the collection of prizes. Some stores offered free treats, special beverages, and many guests made sure to stop at Key Bank to pick up Handels ice cream pops.Heidi Schltz and Barb Hickey enjoyed the pops, noting that they were enjoying the pleasant weather. The West Toledo residents said they were glad to see the sun shining, and appreciated a reason to be out enjoying the outdoors.In front of the Key Bank, bank offcials Christine Abbot and Edward McKinney were passing out the pops (and information about services offered by the bank). In front of the bank, McCord Junior High School seventh grader Carly Radebaugh was playing the violin, a special treat for those who stopped to enjoy the ice cream with the music.Lisa Nowak and her daughters Hailey and Hannah, and her sister Cindy Preston, spent a lot of time at the Canterbury Home store. They examined the furniture, home dcor, and oohed and aahed over the bath products and jewelry on display, and Lisa exclaimed, I love everything in this store, and I would buy it all if I could.Across the street, at Jennas Restaurant, Neal Golding enjoyed a Lebanese beer, served with a lemon and coarse salt around the rim. I am here for the Lebanese food, and I am appreciating the beer with the food, he explained. He asked the bartender about the Lebanese wines and liquors served at the restaurant, and said, I think it is great that there is a restaurant like this in Sylvania. We had my daughters 18th birthday party here, and Jennas is going to cater her graduation party. He looked around at the full house in the restaurant and added, The kids at her party really enjoyed the food, and it looks like lots of people who visit Sylvania do, too.The Downtown Delights event was the most recent in a series of events in the downtown area. Coming Thursday, May 19 is the unveiling of the Potting Pretty fowerpots in downtown Sylvania from 4:00-8:00 p.m., and the Sylvania Car Show, hosted by K-100s Gary Shores, will happen on Sunday, May 22, from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Sunny weather brightens Downtown DelightsBy Scott GrauHerald WriterSYLVANIA- Despite a wet track, intermittent rain showers, and the constant threat of thunderstorms the Sylvania Southview boys track and feld team ran away with the Northern Lakes League team meet championship at Southview High School on May 13.First place fnishes in six individual events and two relay races contributed to the Cougars overall team point total of 151.50.

Just Pay Less.LIFETIMEWARRANTYSERVINGOH & MIDESIGNTO BUILDIHe arrived quite unusually. He was found late in the evening at a church in the inner city on January 31, 1996. The temperature outside was -15 and yet he seemed excited to see a friend. My decision was not to take him as I had lost a Shih Tzu in a fire the previous year and in spring we welcomed a golden retriever puppy named Conor. My sister, however, insisted that the dog be rescued. So into my Jeep he went, filthy and scared. He even refused the Wendys hamburger I purchased for him. Once home, we could not take him in the house as he was filthy so we put him the garage. But the golden knew something was out there; he paced back and forth eager to connect with the new visitor on the other side of the door.The next day we were off to the veterinarian who was shocked to find a whole arsenal of worms and skin welts. Obviously, our new puppy friend had been living on the streets for quite some time and would have died had he not been rescued. The vets bill was over $300 and after the groomer added her total, our new addition, deemed a Shih Tzu, cost more than purchasing a dog from a breeder.What to name him was easy; when we met he was so dirty that the name Oscar, from the Sesame Street character of the same name that lived in a garbage can, came to mind. He fit the name and when he was groomed he often, if just for 10-20 minutes, looked like Oscar de la Renta but that quickly faded when he went outside and rolled in the mud.Oscar owned the world. He thought himself a pit bull and never cowered to dogs even those ten times his size. He would approach with a welcoming wag of his tail but if they took an aggressive stance he went right at them. He wanted everyone to be his friend, an unusual trait for that breed of dog.Since both he and Conor were puppies, they formed a bond that lasted until Conor died. At times Conor would pull a squealing Oscar by his tail down the hallway. Oscar would then wait until the bigger dog would fall asleep before biting his ear and racing to get under the bed where he could not be caught.When Conor moved away with my daughter, Oscar was heartbroken - but not for long. He now realized he was king and he owned the neighborhood. No leash for him. He wasnt much of a walker anyway. His domain was three houses down and back and his front yard. You could yell your head off for him to come and he would feign deafness as he lifted his paw and looked off the other way.He would kill for a biscuit and until the day he died he insisted on a biscuit or a treat whenever he would come in the house, when we left and came home, before his bedtime and the first thing in the morning; pretty much the entire day. His favorite perch was on the front seat of the boat where he would ride around the lake barking at the dogs on the shore, particularly the three poodles that lived in a big house around the corner. Once he even jumped out of the boat to chase a dog on the shorehe soon remembered a little too late that he was not a strong swimmer and thank goodness was saved by someone who jumped into save him.He survived the onslaught of three grandchildren and several nieces and nephews all with perfect disdain when they upset his daily routine. Guests to our home could be pestered incessantly for a morsel of their dinner. He always let you know what he wanted by whining quietly and relentlessly.The time flew by and fifteen years later it was difficult for him to see and hear but his sense of smell was amazing. He could still wander three houses down and back strictly on instinct but he had trouble walking and the steps were now hard to manage.He now choose to sleep 23 out of 24 hours waking just for his biscuit breaks and when we got home after work he was at the door waiting and would follow us around as if he knew time was fleeting.What can you say about a scruffy little character that came into your life, touched you gently with his soul, ate about 20,000 biscuits and quietly slipped away taking with him a piece of your heartwe will miss you. Everyone who owns a pet can take heart in the fact that they love you unconditionally and forever; give them a biscuit from Oscar today.

For well over 60 years, Sylvania has had a Memorial Day Parade and Ceremonies on the last Monday of May. Many Americans have served their country in the armed forces. Many have died in battle, and many more are now growing old and nearing the end of their lives. Some have served more recently in Vietnam, the Middle East or elsewhere around the world. All these patriots and those serving today deserve our thanks and acclaim.The parade and services are sponsored by our local Veterans organizations and assisted by the City of Sylvania and Sylvania Recreation. Over the years, many of us have participated in the parade in one way or another. The Northview High School and Southview High School bands are always a part of the parade and ceremonies, and I remember how excited I was to march with the Sylvania High School band on Memorial Day, 1968. The day begins at 9:00 a.m. with a memorial ceremony at Toledo Memorial Park near the 85 foot high Veterans Memorial Monument. Over 12,000 veterans are laid to rest in the cemetery and the American flag posted on each veterans grave creates a sea of flags. The parade leaves Lourdes College at 10:00 a.m., heads north on Main Street through the downtown, and continues on to Veterans Memorial Field. An 11:00 a.m. Memorial Day Service follows at the north end of Veterans Memorial Field. There are five bronze monuments at Veterans Memorial Field honoring those who served in five wars and lists the names all Sylvanians who died in those wars. There is also a tank and a Howitzer cannon on display. In addition, a bronze statue cast in 1982 honoring those veterans stands in front of Sylvania City Hall on Monroe Street, where it is visible to thousands of people every day.The World War II Roll of Honor previously on display in the Burnham Building was relocated to City Hall last year and is now on display in the first floor lobby. The Roll of Honor was restored and rededicated last year during a ceremony attended by many of Sylvanias veterans who attended Burnham High School.Memorial Day is a patriotic day for all of us. If not veterans ourselves, nearly all of us have a friend or relative who served in the armed forces or is serving today, putting their lives at risk to protect freedom. Further, many of us have a relative or know of a community member who was injured or killed in defense of America. Memorial Day is the day to honor these heroes and to celebrate our freedom. I invite all of you to join us in Sylvania on Memorial Day. Sylvania is a wonderful place for families to gather, honor our veterans and celebrate America on Memorial Day.Memorial Day, 2011From the mayors DeskwithCraigStoughThey call themselves the Frog Ladies. Easily identifiable by the frog pins on their pink volunteer jackets, they devote two mornings a month bringing a bit of happiness to Flower Hospitals smallest patients.In existence since 1982, they originally met in members homes. Then, a few years later, the Flower Hospital Auxiliary adopted the group and they moved to the hospital, where theyve met ever since. These dedicated volunteers sew adorable frog shaped pillow toys that are given to children when they have procedures done in the outpatient area of the hospital. Many a tear rolling down a little cheek has been halted by the cheerful stuffed frog laid into the criers arms.Sherry Chesser of surgical services says The children are thrilled to get the stuffed frogs, and parents are so surprised that this is a free service. We give them out as fast as we receive them!Working mostly from donated new double knit fabric and holiday-themed cottons, the women cut the fabric, stuff the bodies, close the openings, and sew on decorative eyes while they attend the in-hospital meetings. Some do the machine sewing at home to assemble the bodies. They joke that they play the role of proctologist or ophthalmologist, depending on the task while sewing the toys. They are grateful for the Auxiliarys support in covering expenses such as thread and stuffing.Many in the group are getting on in years and have health or ambulation issues, so their number is decreasing. Barely able to keep up with demand, the Frog Ladies are hoping to add some new members to the sewing group. Ironically, sewing skill is not required, as stuffers and cutters are always welcomed. Embroiderers who can sew a simple buttonhole stitch are much needed, notes Carol Spahlinger, Frog Ladies co-chair.The group seems to be a well-kept secret, as many Flower Hospital staff are unaware of their existence, but the first and third Tuesday mornings of each month, these cheerful ladies are happily busy creating little washable masterpieces in the Flower Hospital atrium area. Ever optimistic, they muse that it would be great to increase production to include distribution to the hospital emergency room area.So now the call is going out for volunteers to join the group. Shirley Bettinger, one of the original group members, admits I dont even live in Sylvania, but Im involved because I enjoy the friendship and the opportunity to serve the children. The women make the frogs from 9 a.m. to around 11:30, then enjoy a free lunch in the hospital cafeteria. They quip that they work for food and declare the cafeteria offerings are really quite delicious.Flower Hospital director of volunteer services Barbara Arnold says Its an easy process to become a volunteer at the hospital. We can always use more helpers, and this sewing group is such a valuable part of our hospital family.She invites anyone interested in the Frog Ladies group, or many other volunteer opportunities, to call her at 419-824-1019.I could close with a statement about the Frog Ladies being a ribbet-ing group, but I wont!These Volunteers Hop To ItInclude your ad in this directory for as little as $15 per week!

The MBA at Lourdes is designed for in-dividuals who have recently completed an undergraduate business degree and is a full-time, daytime degree pro-gram that can be completed in just one year. The MBA will really round out our degree offer-ings in business and leader-ship, Dean Ludwig, PhD, Chair of Business & Leader-ship Studies, said. We have the Master of Organizational Leadership program, which is an excellent option for mid-career professionals in both the for-proft and non-proft sectors, and now the MBA will give those who are early in their career path the ability to build their cre-dentials before entering the workforce. Lourdes pro-gram is innovative in that its designed to be completed in half the time of many tradi-tional MBA programs.Another unique compo-nent of Lourdes MBA pro-gram is that students will participate in two immersion experiences (similar to a co-op or residency) as part of the coursework. These culmi-nating program experiences are intrinsically linked with one another, with students required to take the interna-tional immersion course and then to choose one of four options for the professional immersion. Through the im-mersion experiences, stu-dents will learn the ins and outs of the business world through hands-on learning in a real-world atmosphere.Were really excited about the international com-ponent because it will open new vistas for Lourdes study abroad options, Dr. Ludwig said.For more information or to apply for Lourdes MBA program, visit gradschool.lourdes.edu or contact Keith Ramsdell, Director of Grad-uate Admissions, at 419-517-8881 or kramsdell@lourdes.edu.Lourdes launches Master of Business Administration program SYLVANIA- The Lourdes College wom-ens basketball team had a big day today by signing two new re-cruits.

I feel like it was the best fit for me and a good place to be.Anderson stands at an impressive 62 and is an imposing force in the post. She averaged 15 points per game in high school with some 20 point games thrown in the mix. Im really looking forward to seeing if the team can mesh well, Anderson said.

In explaining the honor Fr. Ron Olszewski said, Two virtues which are at the very core of the spirituality of St Francis de Sales are humility and charity; humility in terms of having the nature of a servant. He continued, Dont do anything from selfish ambition or from a cheap desire to boast, be humble toward one another, always considering others better than your self. Look out for one anothers interests, not just your own.The second virtue of charity or what we would call brotherly love, he continued, is the brotherhood that so many of you speak of, as the very thing that distinguishes the Knights at St. Francis.Knights of Honor have been perceived by others, faculty and peers, to possess the virtues of humility and charity while attaining a successful balance in the four areas of the schools program: Academic, Spiritual, Social and Physical Development. In addition, the gentlemen chosen should exhibit the virtues of loyalty, leadership, kindness, self-discipline, integrity and perseverance. The men were reminded that the higher the honor or rank, the greater is the call to humility and service to others.The following gentlemen were knighted:Frank Bonfiglio of Sylvania is son of Paul and Robin Bonfiglio and is a graduate of Christ the King School. Frank has demonstrated excellence in the four pillars of St. Francis by being an active member of Campus Ministry, Student Council, Collegium Honorum, the National Honor Society, and the baseball team. My best experience at St. Francis, he said, was my service trip to Appalachia. I love the camaraderie that lies between the halls of red and blue. Frank will graduate with high honors having at least a 4.0 GPA and he will attend Bowling Green State University to pursue a degree in secondary education.Tyler Clark of Sylvania is the son of Dave and Diane Clark and is a graduate of St. Joseph, Sylvania.

He also works on the schools TV station, WSFK, and the sports network, KSN as a broadcaster.

This place truly is special, he said.Chris Gelardi of Toledo is son of Bob and Nicole Gelardi and is a graduate of Gesu School. For four years at SFS Chris has played football, served on student council and performed in the spring musicals.

Kasey will graduate with honors and attend Marquette University and major in business. He also plans to minor in theology and Spanish and hopes to join the Peace Corps after college.Rowan Williams of Ottawa Hills is the son of Wayne Williams and Carol Sargent and is a graduate of Ottawa Hills Elementary School.

She focused on building a healthy self-image, respecting oneself and others, setting and meeting goals, and recognizing avenues of support, especially those outside ones family. In addition, Minger shared inspiring and amusing insights into the life of a pageant winner. A recent graduate of Bowling Green State University, the Sylvania native overcame shyness and a learning disability to become a strong competitor. As she nears the end of her year-long reign, Minger has traveled more than 20,000 miles within the state of Ohio promoting youth empowerment.Minger addressed the SFA student body in three groups, according to age level. She discussed what it means to feel empathy, stressing that we can never know whats going on in someone elses life, so we need to support rather than judge others. She also laid out a strategy for preventing bullying. On the subject of goals, Minger explained that pursuing a dream requires dedication, faith and sacrifice. She speaks from experience, having been first runner-up three years in a row before winning the Miss Ohio title. During lunch with SFA third- and fourth-grade girls, Minger offered more details about how she learned to believe in herself and aim high. Miss Ohio is my new hero, exclaimed fourth-grader Emerald Flores Rae. Shes more than beautiful. Shes smart and kind.

Each year, she has recruited more and more local groups to include Boy and Girl Scouts, elementary school classes, individuals and businesses to pull off this Godsend to neighbors throughout the Toledo area. She was also was the catalyst in forming the St. Joseph Social Outreach Program that started Josephs Meals which, every month, feeds more than 400 people at the St. Louis Soup Kitchen in East Toledo. Currently, she volunteers at the Heartbeat Pregnancy Support Center where she counsels young pregnant women in becoming effective mothers. She also collects household items and furniture for returning veterans and their families through the local Heroes in Action group and assists in their mission to help servicepersons.Mary Jane DelVerne is an amazing and giving woman with boundless energy. She brings out the best in people and makes life better for others through her inspired leadership, Sarah Hartley, Toledo Exchange Club President and Sylvania resident, said.Also, Mary Jane and her husband Michael were instrumental in developing the St. Joseph Business Networking Group, which links those in need of employment with local business professionals to network their products and services. They have five grown children and 18 grandchildren.The Book of Golden Deeds Award is an Exchange Club program that recognizes a worthy person or group that continuously donates time, talent and energy to help those in need. Ever since the Exchange Club of Huntington, Ind., sponsored the first award in 1919, thousands of unsung heroes and heroines have been recognized across the country.Exchange, Americas Service Club, is a group of men and women working together to make their communities better places to live through programs of service in Americanism, Community Service, Youth Activities and its national Project, the Prevention of Child Abuse.Mary Jane DelVerne is presented the Book of Golden Deeds Award by Exchange Club of Toledo President Sarah Hartley.Exchange Clubs highest honor awarded to selfless volunteerPhoto submittedClassified AdsTo Place An Ad Call 419-885-9222Ads must be received by Noon Monday for Wednesdays edition.$12.00 for the first 15 words and 95 for each additional word.006 AutomobilesFOR SALE: Ford Taurus,2009, excellent condition.48,450 miles, loaded.

Doctors want people to exercise to keep up the range of motion in affect-ed joints. However, even some limited movements can cause pain and suffer-ing to those with arthritis. Furthermore, individu-als with arthritis may shy away from the activities they once enjoyed because the pain is simply too over-whelming.Instead of simply sit-ting on the couch watch-ing television, there are a number of different things arthritis sufferers can do to pass the time and recon-nect with past hobbies and interests. It might just take a little re-outfitting of the tools that are needed to participate.GardeningGardening is a popular pastime for people of all ages. But the repetitive mo-tions of digging and tilling as well as gripping a mul-titude of tools can take the joy out of the hobby. Peo-ple with arthritis can make some changes. Raised garden beds or container gardening eliminates the stooping and bending as-sociated with traditional gardening. With contain-ers, individuals can place the containers on a counter or table and do all the work at a comfortable height.Choosing low-main-tenance plants is another option. Plants that dont require as much pruning or repotting are good for those with arthritis. Also, look for tools with larger grips and handles to be easier on arthritic hands.CraftingMany people with arthri-tis find the fine-detail work they grew accustomed to is not very comfortable with arthritis. Instead, there are many other crafts that can be practical.Ceramics are one craft where the activity can also be the exercise. Using a pottery wheel or hand-molding doughs and other modeling media can be a way to stretch and work the hands and fingers. Us-ing paintbrushes equipped with wider grips can make painting possible.Mural painting is an-other option. Again, those with arthritis can choose tools with wide handles to make grasping easier. Large designs on walls or canvases will be easier to handle than smaller piec-es.CookingCooking and baking is an art form that can be enjoyed by anyone. Fur-thermore, with ergonomic spoons, ladles and other kitchen tools, it has never been more convenient or less labor-intensive to be an accomplished home chef. Baking and pastry cre-ation is one area where people can show off cre-ative skills. For those who love to bake but have trou-ble kneading and work-ing dough, food proces-sors, bread machines and kitchen stand mixers can take the work out of those processes.Cooking is not only a rewarding hobby but also an activity that can benefit the household.Having arthritis doesnt mean a person has to give up on the activities he or she enjoys. It merely in-volves a few tweaks that can still make these hob-bies enjoyable. Hobbies for arthritis sufferersContainer gardening is a hobby arthritis sufferers can enjoy.When you have an emergency, you want the highest quality of care available, fast.

Now, we always recommend that people consider hospice care early. Patty, 2007 But my wife and I waited too long and we didnt get all of the benefts we could have received. Tom, 1994 They relieved a lot of the worry, stress and fear. Dont wait to get them involved. Mary, 2001 and 2010For 30 years, families have been writing to Hospice of Northwest Ohio to express their thanks. Yet they often also say, We wish we would have started hospice care sooner.
