Metroparks awarded grant funds for habitat management Please Recycle This Newspaper

By Jane Maiolo The Metroparks Toledo commissioners have accepted a grant that will assist with habitat management. At the June 22 meeting, the commissioners agreed to accept $278,000 for habitat management activities on 2,400 acres of park land during fiscal year 2017, which runs from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017. Under the agreement, the park system will provide up to $226,000 of in-kind match, explained Tim Schetter, metroparks director of natural resources, adding that the total cost is estimated at $504,000. The Nature Conservancy and Ohio Department of Natural Resources will receive the award through the federal Pittman-Robertson funds of the U.S. Department of Interior.

$25.00 per year

Work performed under the grant will be done by the park’s natural resources division and includes protection, enhancement and restoration of land. “Additionally, during the grant period, the Nature Conservancy’s interagency restoration team will perform habitat management activities on Metroparks-owned lands in the Oak Opening Corridor that were restored under previous grant awards,” Mr. Schetter said.

Continued from page 1 the final phase of mill renovations. He reminded the commissioners that work on the historic mill began with reinforcement of the structure’s foundation followed earlier this spring by replacement of timber framing, windows and the accessible ramp at the building entrance. Commissioner Fritz Byers, who visited the park over Fathers Day, commended the chief on the work. “The mill looks great.” •Authorized the executive director and treasurer to provide investment and financial instructions to financial institutions as needed.

Treasurer Matt Cleland explained that banks are now requiring entities to designate the person or persons making banking decisions. The current authorizations are for Signature Bank, and T.D. Ameritrade, he said, adding that the commissioners have approved similar authorizations for Fifth Third Bank and Morgan Stanley. •Learned that Middlegrounds park in Toledo is scheduled to open to the public on Saturday, September 17. •Paid bills totaling $1.89 million for the month of May.

Down electrical line forces closure of I-475 A downed electrical line forced the closure of I-475 in Sylvania Township last Wednesday. Lieutenant William Bowers of the Toledo Post of the Ohio Highway said the incident occurred near the Central Avenue overpass when construction crews working on the roadway in the area struck a utility pole causing an electrical wire to hang close to interstate traffic. Two semi-trucks traveling southbound came in contact with the electrical line, and one of them caused the line to snap, the lieutenant explained. The electrical line became entangled between the trailer and cab of the semitruck, and laid across the southbound lanes and southbound exit ramp to Central Avenue. The line also caused a small grass fire in the median. Traffic was shut down on

both sides of the interstate for about an hour until Toledo Edison could remove the electrical line. No damage was sustained to either vehicle, and no injuries were reported. The OHP was assisted at the scene by the Sylvania Township Police and Fire Departments, Springfield Township Fire Department, Sylvania Police Department, and the Ohio Department of Transportation.

Correction In the June 28 issue of the

Journal, the story “Fire and sheriff’s reports posted for May” should have said that the “Springfield Township trustees agreed to a salary for a battalion chief who will be assigned to one of the township fire stations.”

With schools closed for the summer, families in need can still take advantage of a free meal program for children. In the Holland/Springfield area, the Summer Food Service Program is offered at Community Homecoming Park, Angola Road. Meals are served from noon to 1 p.m. Monday to Friday, through August 12. All children ages 1 through 18 are eligible to receive free meals during the summer months at participating program sites. Individuals ages 19 through 21 who have been identified as having mental or physical disabilities and are following individualized education programs (IEPs) through their current enrollment in educational programs also are eligible for free summer meals. Wendi Huntley, spokesperson for Summer Meal Partners of Northwest Ohio and director of development at Feed Lucas County Children Inc., said the program has helped feed thousands of children across the state. In 2015, more than 50,000 Ohio children received free daily meals at more than 1,700 sites run by local program sponsors, the Ohio Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Summer Meal Partners of Northwest Ohio is a collaboration of community organizations dedicated to fighting childhood hunger.

The group emphasizes data collection and analysis to ensure that summer sites’ locations can effectively serve children in need. In 2015, the group provided 264,680 meals and snacks to children in the greater Toledo area. This year, they will support 150 meal sites in Toledo–an increase from 86 in 2014. “The Summer Food Service Program helps to fill the gap for so many of our most vulnerable residents–hungry children,” Ms. Huntley said. “It is during the summer months when those who especially rely on breakfast and lunch during the school year, stand in need of our help.” U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, is urging families in need to utilize the service. For many parents, he noted that summertime “means stress over how to care for children while parents work, or how to feed children nutritious meals without the school lunches they count on throughout the rest of the year. “That’s why every year we work to get the word out about the Summer Food Service Program so that families know the end of the school year doesn’t mean an end to food services for their children. Because summer break shouldn’t mean going hungry.” For more information about the food programs, call 1-866-3-HUNGRY (486479).

Area teens challenged at Penta robotics camp Join Us In Worship For dozens of area teens who love technology, their skills were put to the test June 20-22 during a VEX Robotics Camp at Penta Career Center. Open to any student residing in Penta’s 16 member school districts which includes Springfield, the camp was geared to teens entering seventh through 12th grade. On day one of the camp, teams of two were formed with the goal of assembling robotic units that resemble lunar vehicles. The robots were constructed from a standard kit provided by VEX Robotics, which produces the materials to introduce students to the field of robotics. Participants used the VEX Robotics design system to build a frame and base for their robots, interchange wheels, create geared armatures and engineer wiring. On the second day, teams modified their robots in preparation for competition. Working together, the students adapted their vehicles for user-piloted challenges and obstacles, as well as au-

tonomous robot challenges that required programming. On day three, participants spent the morning tweaking their designs before competing against each other in the afternoon. This year’s contest consisted of displacing and moving as many yellow stars, above, as possible to their opponents’ side. They also maneuvered their vehicles to keep the opponent from pushing any stars back across the line. A challenge facing teams occurred at the start of the contest. They were required to program the system to drive itself for the first 15 seconds before manual control resumed. Some of the vehicles strayed off course, frustrating the youthful engineers. The field of play changes each year, allowing students who take the camp annually to face new challenges, explained Mike James, a camp counselor and Ohio Northern University student. Campers were clearly en-

gaged in the competition, jumping and calling out advice to the teammate controlling the vehicle as the contest continued. Two teams prevailed and were proclaimed overall winners. They are the team of Eric Rine from Bowling Green High School and Daemien Cunningham-Wagner, Perrysburg High School, and teammates Riley Adamski of Maumee High School and Hope Santangelo of BGHS. The primary goal of the camp is to educate students in robotics through trial and error, explained Mark Robinson, instructor. “This is STEM education,” he said, adding that much of the learning is hands on. For the students, building the robotic vehicles goes beyond science, technology, engineering and math. The game is fun and intense as they try to outdo the competition. The camp also allows students to employ STEM con-

cepts on the playing field, while learning teamwork, leadership, communications and more. Presented by the Robotics Education and Competition Foundation, the VEX robotics contest can be taken well beyond the camp environment. Worldwide, teams of students design and construct robots to play against other teams in a game-based engineering challenge. Tournaments are held year-round at local, state and national levels, and local champions have the opportunity to compete against the best in the world at the VEX Robotics World Championship held each spring. Penta Career Center is one of a handful of districts statewide to offer robotic camps this summer. The camp is sponsored by the Robotics Advanced Manufacturing Technical Engineering Collaborative (RAMTEC) of which Penta is one of nine career center partners in Ohio. –Jane Maiolo

Putts Fur Mutts golf outing, putt putt event set for July 9 On Saturday, July 9, area golfers will hit the course at Bedford Hills Golf Club to spend the day enjoying one of their favorite hobbies and participating in a friendly competition. The morning, however, will have much more significance than a typical day on the greens because these golfers will be participating in the “Putts Fur Mutts” Golf Outing and Putt Putt Event to benefit the Puppy Rescue Mission. “I have great respect for our brave military men and women. They make so many sacrifices to serve our country, but no soldier should ever be faced with the decision to leave a beloved stray animal behind in Afghanistan or other war zones or places overseas,” said Jill Borkowski, event co-chair. “I think about the lives our

adopted pets have lived and wish a safe, spoiled, carefree life for all dogs and cats. Our dogs Belle and Bailey and our cat Oreo all passed within the last 19 months; I cannot think of a better way to honor them than to help give animals in war zones a loving, forever home with the U.S. soldiers who bond with and rescue them.” The “Putts Fur Mutts” event is presented by Paws & Remember of Northwest Ohio and will include 18 holes of golf with cart and range balls or 18 or 36 holes of Putt Putt, prizes for the top three golf teams, a goodie bag, donuts, bagels and Biggby coffee, a dessert bar, contests, a 50/50 raffle, and more. The cost for golf is $340 per team or $85 per individual (teams and individuals wel-

come for golf). The cost for Putt Putt is $25 per person, and children are welcome. Golf will be a shotgun start at 8 a.m., with Putt Putt starting at 10 a.m. Golfers and Putt Putt players will meet-up for lunch donated by Outback Steakhouse Toledo and a silent auction.

Sisters of St. Francis install new leadership team

The Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania, installed the 2016–20 leadership team on Sunday, June 26, at a special liturgy in Our Lady Queen of Peace Chapel on the Motherhouse grounds in Sylvania. The five-member team will oversee congregational governance and the day-to-day operation of the Sylvania Franciscans. From left are Sister Theresa Darga, assistant congregational minister; Sister Rachel Marie Nijakowski, councilor; Sister Sharon Derivan, councilor; Sister Mary Jon Wagner, congregational minister, and Sister Shannon Schrein, councilor.

The perilous state of the district’s finances was punctuated in January 2015, when representatives from the Ohio Department of Education informed members of the Board of Education and administration that Springfield Local Schools had been assigned to the classification of “fiscal caution.” Since that time, the district has continued its wellpublicized efforts to increase operational efficiencies and reduce spending in all areas. As promised, more than a year later, those practices continue–all possible ways to reduce expenses are identified and put into practice. In addition, the district has remained true to promises made during levy campaigns to remain transparent by providing detailed reports each month during board of education meetings. At the time the district was placed in the “fiscal caution” classification, the community

learned that the Auditor of State’s office would fund and conduct a full performance audit. The audit was extensive and examined every facet of district operations. Reviewed were: finances, human resources/staffing, transportation, food service and facilities. When results were presented to the community, few could fault the efforts employed by the district. These efforts were validated by the audit. The audit revealed that the only means available to further reduce costs would result in the total decimation of the district’s K-12 academic programs. Athletics, extracurricular and performing arts programs also were at risk. Thankfully, the audit results motivated a rallying cry throughout the community and the district’s $3.9 million fiveyear emergency operating levy passed. That was 14 months ago and Treasurer P. Ryan Lockwood, III and I have remained true to the promises made to “right the ship.” While there is always more to be done, actions that took place at the June 22 board of education meeting, when David Michel from the Ohio Department of Education returned, show that progress has been made. Effective immediately, the Ohio Department of Education has removed the district from its fiscal caution status. This does not signify an end to the district’s efforts to

identify operational efficiencies. It does not signify an end to the district’s transparency or efforts to maintain strong communication with the community. It does, however, recognize significant progress towards restoring financial stability. While some expressed concern that passage of the fiveyear emergency levy would restore a “business as usual” mentality, members of the board of education, Mr. Lockwood and I assure that is not the case. As one example, during the next several months, residents will learn more details of the district’s Energy Optimizer project that is projected to save on energy consumption, resulting in a significant reduction in payments and anticipated savings on costs associated with HVAC and lighting. In addition, negotiations with the labor unions representing both certified and noncertified staff demonstrated cooperation and a mutual commitment to reduce expenditures in all areas of district operations. The definition of #spring fieldstrong will continue to be rewritten. Included are many points of pride–highlighted by a school district where families choose to send their students; student spirit is high thanks to rigorous academic offerings and co/extra-curricular programs that are unmatched.

Twp. trustees amend zoning request By Jane Maiolo At the June 16 meeting, the Springfield Township trustees approved an amendment to a zoning change. The request to rezone 7371 and 7405 West Bancroft Street from RA-4 rural residential to R-1 single family planned unit development (PUD) was approved by the trustees last September. According to township administrator Leslie Kohli, consulting engineer George Oravecz was informed by Lucas County officials that the development is required to follow subdivision regulations which require a minimum spacing of 800 feet for new roads. As a result, there is insufficient space for the ingress/egress roads. The township appealed the decision to the Lucas County engineer’s office. “It is the board’s preference to have two drives rather than just one for safety concerns,” wrote Ms. Kohli in a letter to Kyle Warner of the engineer’s office. “Even if it was not life threatening but rather an obstacle to travel such as an accident or a down tree, this would give residents an alternate route.” In the amendment to the PUD, the county waived the 800 feet spacing but is requiring that the roads be built to county specifications and pass inspection by the county engineer. Other Business In other business, the trustees: •Authorized the installa-

tion of no parking signs along both sides of Pilliod Road from Gunn to Sudbury roads. •Learned that Lucas County has removed its portion of Geiser Road from the county highway system and established it as a township road. The township is now responsible for maintaining Geiser from Eber to Kieswetter roads, approximately 1.85 miles. •Accepted a Lucas County estimate of $6,887 to microsurface Byrnwyck West and Fenwyck roads. •Announced that an issue with county permits for a maintenance carport have been resolved with the county agreeing to waive the permit fees. In May, public services director Mike Hampton said the county notified the township it would need to pay $400 for a permit. Ms. Kohli contacted them for a waiver, and reminded county officials that when they came to the township several years earlier to construct facilities on McCord Road, the township waived permit fees in excess of $400. She said county officials agreed to a one-time fee waiver. “In the future, they

won’t, so we won’t,” she added. •Announced that new chairs have arrived and are being used at the township hall. “They have come in very handy,” Ms. Kohli said. •Revised a contract with Thomson Reuter West, trimming service. Ms. Kohli said by reducing the level of service to include only National Public Records search and Ohio case law and statutes only, the township will save $1,446 annually. Additionally, the three-year contract calls for increases of 3 percent per year in the second and third years instead of the current 5 percent. •Announced that the Ability Center currently has Lucas County community development block grants available for county residents not residing in Toledo or Oregon who need to make home access modifications. For more information, call 419-8855733. •Paid bills from June 7 to 16, totalling, $58,781 and electronic payments from June 3 to 15 of $86,530. The next trustees meeting is at 7 p.m., Tuesday, July 5, at the township meeting hall, 7617 Angola Road, and is open to the public.

Business News

Wendy’s is supporting adoption locally, one brick at a time. From July 1 through 31, select Wendy’s restaurants in northwest Ohio are striving to raise thousands of dollars. The cost to adopt one child into a loving and permanent family is $5,000. To reach this goal, local Wendy’s restaurants are selling paper “sandcastle bricks” for $1. All proceeds will benefit the Adopt America Network, located in Toledo. During the month of July, customers can visit any of the 25 participating Wendy’s in Toledo, Oregon, Fostoria, Bowling Green, Perrysburg, Rossford, Swanton, Holland, Maumee, Sylvania, and Adrian and Tecumseh, Michigan, to purchase a “sandcastle brick,” sign their name on it and have it displayed in the restaurant to show their support of adoption. Adopt America is a nonprofit organization committed to improving the lives of adoptable children throughout the United States, who are in the foster care system, by placing them with permanent, loving families. “Our Wendy’s restaurants have always been proud to support Adopt America Network, since adoption was Dave Thomas’ favorite charitable cause,” said franchise owner Becky Williams. “Every year we raise money to help defray the cost to a family wanting to adopt a child. By selling the bricks we are able to involve the community.” Wendy’s founder, Dave Thomas, was adopted as a child. He was an advocate for children in foster care and was committed to raising awareness of children who are waiting for permanent homes and loving families in North America. He founded the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, a nonprofit public charity dedicated to increasing adoptions of children in North America’s foster care system. The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption works in collaboration locally with the Adopt America Network to increase the number of adoptions in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.

Notre Dame Academy inducts three into Hall of Fame: Women of Vision

In recognition of their community and professional leadership, three Notre Dame Academy alumnae have been added to the School’s Hall of Fame. They are: Lois Laplante Tate, Class of 1948; Marcy Gross McMahon, 1967, and Dr. Laura Miller-Graff, 2004. They joined the 64 previous inductees inducted to the Hall of Fame since 1989. Ms. Tate was born in Toledo and was one of six children. She grew up in east Toledo and attended St. Louis Grade School where she first met the Sisters of Notre Dame. The Sisters at St. Louis helped her obtain a scholarship to attend Notre Dame Academy for high school where she joined her older sister, Joanne. Ms. Tate remembers Sr. Mary Luanne who was her typing teacher and helped her get her first job as secretary at the Catholic Club. This position at the Catholic Club also led to another life-changing opportunity–meeting her husband, Robert, who was the first athletic director of the Toledo Council of Catholic Youth. This year they are celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary. As her family grew to include three children and now four grandchildren, she continued her work at the Catholic Club and became the secretary to Monsignor Jerome Schmidt, the director of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and the director of the Diocesan Youth Department. Her professional work also took her to St. Charles Hospital, where she worked as a registrar. Ms. Tate has been a member of Epiphany of the Lord parish in East Toledo for more than 60 years, where much of her service has been focused. For years, she has organized and cooked for the annual parish fish fry, participated in numerous activities of the Altar Rosary Society, and has helped plan and carry out the annual Homecoming Festival. A particular focus of the parish activities is outreach to the community at large, and Ms. Tate’s service has extended to persons who are under served and in need. She was nominated by her granddaughter, Sarah Bremer, a 2010 graduate of Notre Dame Academy. Fr. Michael Geiger, pastor of Epiphany of the Lord Parish, wrote a letter of support for her nomination. Ms. Gross McMahon was born in Toledo and, as a student at the former Ladyfield School, first came under the instruction of the Sisters of Notre Dame. She remembers that the Sisters of Notre Dame

were an important part of her family growing up. Her mother, Donna Munson Gross Teipel, also was a graduate of NDA. As a child, Ms. Gross McMahon recalls coming with her mother to Alumnae Association meetings and events at NDA. Catholic education was important to her family. Her sister, Mary Jacqueline, attended NDA, and her two brothers attended St. Francis de Sales. Ms. Gross McMahon especially remembers Sr. Mary Genevra, long-time art instructor at Notre Dame Academy, who taught about values and life as well as color and technique. After graduation from NDA, she attended the University of Toledo and received her bachelor of fine arts degree. Marcy married her husband, Brian, and as a wife and eventually a mother to Brittany, a 2000 NDA grad, chose to begin her involvement in a number of charitable and philanthropic causes over the next years. She has reached out to other women as a mentor, support and example of faith. She became involved in a number of non-profit and philanthropic organizations as a way to share her gifts and improve the lives of others. Over the last 40 years, she has dedicated herself to the Girl Scouts of America, Partners for Clean Streams, Bethany House, the Ability Center of Greater Toledo, the Toledo Opera Guild, and Women in Philanthropy at the University of Toledo. Of special note is her work with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. In 2014, she received the prestigious Jefferson Award for pioneering the 12th local chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. She was nominated to the NDA Alumnae Hall of Fame by her friend and NDA alumna Deborah Ayres Budd. Dr. Miller-Graff is part of a large, extended family with deep roots in the Toledo Community. She has five aunts and

PET OF THE WEEK

MAX & MOLLY Meet Max and Molly. This dynamic duo comes as a complete set. These two dogs are in love with each other–they came to the Humane Society together on May 31, and are hoping to go home together. They were surrendered by their owners because they were moving and couldn’t take this pair with them. Max, above, is an 8year-old Brittany Spaniel, and Molly, below, is a 5-year-old chocolate Lab. They are both mellow, relaxed, and laid back. If you live a quiet life and are looking for some good, loving companionship this pair will be perfect for you. They both enjoy going for walks together and are well behaved on their leashes. They get along well with other dogs and love their playgroups here at the shelter. They were raised as outdoor hunting dogs, so don’t let their ages fool you, they still have some “get up and go” in them. Stop by and see if this team is the right fit for you. For more information, visit the Toledo Area Humane Society, 827 Illinois Avenue, Maumee or call 419-891-0705.

strong paragraph in a short period of time. For math, emphasis will be placed on strengthening “mental math” skills in multiplication and integers. Problem-solving and “short cuts” will be reviewed to prepare students for Algebra. •ACT PREP, August 1 to 5, grades 9 to 12, from 10 a.m. to noon. This five-day ACT prep course will be taught by Yale University graduate Greg Owens. He has been successfully preparing students for the ACT since 2000. After taking and reviewing dozens of ACT tests, he has recognized patterns in the test that allow students to earn “easy” points. He not only teaches these patterns and other standard test-taking strategies, but he also focuses on developing the underlying skill set that the ACT aims to measure. This is an intensive, five-day prep process, with full pre- and post-tests given the first and final days of the course. Students should expect to be in class from 10 a.m. to 1:15 p.m., Monday and Friday; two hours on Tuesday through Thursday.

The Toledo Lucas County Public Library’s Board of Trustees unanimously approved a resolution during its regular board meeting on June 23, requesting that the Lucas County Board of Commissioners place an operating levy on the November 2016 ballot. The levy provides more than half of the operating budget. “Strong libraries build strong communities, and the library demonstrates value by continuously delivering a strong return on investment*. This decision further shows our commitment to growing futures, creating opportunity, and transforming lives,” said Clyde Scoles, director of Toledo Lucas County Public Library. With the approval of the library’s Board of Trustees, the resolution will be delivered to the Lucas County Board of Commissioners for them to place a 3.7 mill, fiveyear operating levy on the November 8 ballot. The 2.9 mills would renew the existing levy and the 0.8 mill would be additional. The current levy, which was approved by voters in 2012, was a 2.9 mill referendum, which expires on December 31, 2017. The additional 0.8 mill is expected to restore what library patrons lost due to funding cuts and state funding. Mr. Scoles, who also serves as the library’s fiscal officer, further remarked. “We would not come to our customers for assistance

single parents to achieve educational goals and providing the tools and resources needed to become effective parents. Funds raised from Chicks for Charity will enable Mom’s House to expand its current programs and provide more single parents and their children with the help and support they need to succeed and become productive members of the community. Thanks to last year’s Chicks Mix, Mom’s House was able to implement new programs, including DADS Matter–a program to help engage and empower young fathers in the lives of their children. Already this year, Mom’s House has helped six moms and three preschoolers graduate from school. Tickets for the Chicks Mix are $37 each and $20 for Junior Chicks (ages 20 and younger). To purchase tickets, visit chicksforcharity.net or call 419-241-2221.

in passing this levy unless it was absolutely necessary. This levy represents more than half of the library’s operating budget, with the state’s public library fund contributing the rest. The state contribution has decreased substantially, and we are currently operating at 1997 funding levels. We need to improve upon this to continue the library service the residents of Lucas County have long enjoyed and depend on.” For the owner of a $100,000 home, the 0.8 mill increase amounts to 8 cents a day. Currently, the homeowner pays $87.50 per year based on the present 2.9 mill levy renewal. With the additional 0.8 mill increase, for a proposed 3.7 mills total, a homeowner will pay $116.81 annually. “We’re doing great things to help restore vitality to the many and diverse communities in Toledo and northwest Ohio–our branch libraries are iconic in the neighborhoods they serve and represent beacons of hope. With 68 percent of the population being proud card holders, this levy is essential to protecting and growing their investment,” said Mr. Scoles. *A recent study conducted for the library by Dr. Howard Fleeter, a noted economist from Columbus, Ohio, found that the library provides an economic value of nearly $4 in benefits for every $1 invested.
