Dave Has Scooters! Dave Stewart Auto Sales LTD 2011 Progress: Community Connections By Christine A. Holliday Herald Writer The crowd wasn’t too big but the topic of conversation was: the 4.9 mill operating levy that will be on the ballot in Sylvania on May 3. Twenty people met in the cafeteria at McCord Junior High School on April 14 at one of three community meetings held by the Sylvania Board of Education, school administrators and levy chairs last week to learn more about the levy, and to ascertain why supporters believe its passage is crucial to the success of Sylvania Schools. One of the three levy chairpersons, Deb Jennings, opened the informal meeting with a bit of a history lesson about the levy. She recalled that the 4.9 mill operating levy that was passed in 2004 with the hope and desire the funds raised would provide financial stability to the district for five years. Mrs. Jennings explained the levy lasted seven years, much beyond what was expected, but saidd a new levy would be necessary, even with the consistent commitment of the administration and school board to be good stewards of the District’s money. “We can be especially proud of the shared sacrifice of every single employee group, to the tune of $1.4 million,” she said, “but the District needs to come up with money to offset the $3.7 million in expected cuts from the State in 2012. We are looking to sustain what remains after the recent cuts of 120 positions and other cuts.” She continued, “The levy would raise $7 million that wouldn’t be collected until 2012. It would cost the owner of a house with an assessed value of $100,000 just $150 per year. It won’t bring back anything of the cuts that have been made up to this point. Those programs and positions are gone, but the levy will help us preserve the excellence we know and have come to expect in our schools.” If the levy doesn’t pass, there will be cuts to several programs, a loss of 50-60 additional positions, higher class sizes and reduced academic programs, loss of high school bussing and reduction of elementary bussing. Also affected would be high school bussing to Catholic high schools and elementary schools. (Prior to the meeting, District communications coordinator Nancy Crandell also noted all funds for athletics and other extracurricular activities would be taken out of the General Fund, which could mean student athletes would be forced to “pay to play” in amounts from $600-$800 per player per sport) Superintendent Brad Rieger acknowledged the failure of the levy, coupled with anticipated 2013 cuts from the State of Ohio of $4.8 million, would “make a tough situation even tougher. It will be challenging.” He added the District would have liked to ask for a higher millage for the 4.9 mill levy that was defeated in November, 2010 but agreed to take the advice of the committee that recommended the 4.9 mill figure. Mrs. Jennings said the levy committee recognizes people are “tax weary” and that $150 is no small amount for families trying to make ends meet. “But,” she said, “There is a value to our community that our schools offer. My husband and I moved here for the schools, but stayed here for the community. What happens here in the schools spills out into the community. This is a community where everyone gets involved in things, and the schools are the cornerstone of the quality of life we all appreciate.” She concluded, “People are dealing with the economic realities of unemployment or downsizing. I would never say that $150 isn’t a lot of money. But I think when you are looking at your menu of items you are going to spend your money on, you don’t get more value for your buck than giving a dollar that goes to a school system.” She encouraged those present to look for more information at www.voteforsylvaniaschools.com and to attend a rally in support of the levy, to be held at Southview High School on Saturday, April 30 at 9:30 a.m. Deb Jennings, one of three co-chairs of the Levy Committee, is the parent of four boys who were educated in Sylvania Schools. She led the discussion at a community meeting about the levy on April 14. Levy supporters explain position at community meetings Christine Holliday photo By Scott Grau Herald Writer Sylvania native and current Miss Ohio, Becky Minger, was honored to sing the National Anthem at Fifth Third Field to open up the 2011 Toledo Mud Hens home baseball season on Apr. 14. The Mud Hens hosted the Columbus Clippers in what is thought to be the first- ever doubleheader played on opening day. A sold-out crowd of 12,825 fans – third largest in the ballpark’s history – were on-hand to watch the Hens fall to the Clippers 1-0 and 7-1 in both contests. In honor of the 10 th anniversary of Fifth Third Field and their 25 th consecutive year as the Triple-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, the Mud Hens organization wanted opening day to be a bit more special this year and this included having Miss Ohio participate in the pre-game ceremonies. A 2005 graduate of Northview High School, Minger displayed her vocal talent as she sang the national anthem. She was crowned Miss Ohio on June 19, 2010. Last May, prior to winning the her title, Minger was one of 13,200 record-setting fans who packed the stadium to watch American Idol runner- up Crystal Bowersox throw out the first pitch and perform the national anthem. Minger, who graduated from Bowling Green State University last spring with a major in interpersonal communications and a minor in political science, is winding down her year-long reign as Miss Ohio. She has spent the past ten months traveling extensively throughout the state making appearances and promoting her platform which is entitled “Discovering You, Empowering You: A Movement for Youth Development.” The four main points of Minger’s cause are: building and utilizing a healthy self- image, respecting yourself and others, setting goals and recognizing avenues of support. Every contestant in the Miss America Organization is required to select a platform. Minger first began competing in the Miss Ohio Scholarship Program in 2006 and has participated in the state pageant five times earning first runner-up decisions in 2006, 2008, and 2009 Winning the Miss Ohio crown includes a $10,000 scholarship and the opportunity to compete for the Miss America title.

The crowd wasn’t too big but the topic of conversation was: the 4.9 mill operating levy that will be on the ballot in Sylvania on May 3. Twenty people met in the cafeteria at McCord Junior High School on April 14 at one of three community meetings held by the Sylvania Board of Education, school administrators and levy chairs last week to learn more about the levy, and to ascertain why supporters believe its passage is crucial to the success of Sylvania Schools.

The City of Sylvania has scheduled two upcoming green programs: Arbor Day and Shred Day. Everyone is invited to attend and participate in these programs about improving the environment.

The City of Sylvania will have its annual Arbor Day Celebration on Friday, Apr. 29 at the City Administration Building grounds, 6730 Monroe Street from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The City of Sylvania has been named a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation for the 29th consecutive year.

The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service. To become a Tree City USA, a community must meet four standards: a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program and an Arbor Day observance. Sylvania has met these standards for twenty-nine years, leading to a better quality of life for all of our residents.

Since 1975, over 7,700 street trees have been planted by the City of Sylvania Parks and Forestry Division. This year 500 trees are being planted in Harroun Park to replace trees lost to emerald ash borer damage. City forestry programs not only plant new trees but also prune and take care of trees in our parks, public lands and street right-of-ways.

The City of Sylvania will be hosting its fifth annual “Shred Day” on Saturday, Apr. 30 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m, rain or shine. AccuShred LLC will again bring their document destruction

equipment to the Sylvania Municipal Court parking lot at 6700 Monroe Street and offer on-site shredding of documents. Enter off Monroe Street at the west driveway. AccuShred is a certified information document destruction company.

Residents can bring up to 50 pounds of personal documents in boxes or bags for free shredding, courtesy of AccuShred without cost to the City. That is about two banker’s boxes full of documents. Additional documents beyond 50 pounds will also be shredded but at a cost of $3 per container. Staples do not need to be removed but paper cannot be in binders or have binder clips. Last year about 400 vehicles dropped off 16,720 pounds of paper for shredding.

Shredding is a safe way to dispose of personal documents that contain identity and financial information such as account numbers, social security numbers, names and addresses. Identity theft has become a bigger problem in recent years and shredding is one way to reduce your exposure to it. Shredding also offers a practical way to recycle paper rather than bury it in a landfill and is a natural extension to the City of Sylvania’s curbside materials recycling and green yard waste recycling programs.

It hardly seems possi-ble that ten years ago the Women’s Initiative be-gan. A colorful invitation from Sara Jane DeHoff inviting one to Toledo Country Club did not go unnoticed by almost 100 women. Fast forward to today and the group is still doing amazing work, having raised over one million dollars and con-tinuing to meet the needs of the community most importantly in projects that assist women and children.

The 10th anniversary celebration was held at the Owens Corning Head-quarters on Apr. 6. Guests arrived to hear Ninive Ca-legari, co-founder of 826 Valencia, a philanthro-pist, educator, innovator and advocate, speak.

She is a veteran teacher with almost ten years in the classroom including experience in both charter schools and large com-prehensive high schools. She is the co-founder and former executive direc-tor of 826 Valencia, and most recently served as the CEO of 826 Nation-al. Under her leadership, both organizations were recipients of numerous awards and recognitions.

The 826 Foundation is a nonprofit tutoring, writ-ing and publishing orga-nization that assists stu-dents ages 6-18 with their writing skills and helps teachers get their classes excited about writing. She is co-author of the New York Times bestsell-ing book “Teachers Have it Easy; The Big Sacrific-es and Small Salaries of America’s Teachers.” Us-ing the book as an inspira-tion Ninive is producing a film with Dave Eggers called “Come Back Mr. Dearman” which will il-luminate issues around our nation’s effective teachers.

Chairman of the event was Meg Ressner with assistance from the group that included Linda Liber, Mary Sabin, Sara Jane DeHoff, Mary Kennedy, Sara Skirvin and Carolyn Mathews. Simone Hayes introduced the speaker.

Mom’s House to Host Annual Mom’s Night

OutMom’s House® of To-

ledo, a local, non-profit organization that supports the educational efforts of low-income, single young mothers, celebrates its 18th year of service with its Mom’s Night Out An-nual Gala and Auction at The Pinnacle on Friday, May 6.

This year, the occasion will honor Mom’s House champion, Amy Weemes, and her two sons, DJ, a senior student-athlete at Springfield High School, and Eric Page, an All-American college football player at The University of Toledo. Christina Ro-driguez, executive direc-tor of Mom’s House, says Amy’s recognition is well deserved for the inspira-tion she’s brought to so many young mothers in the Toledo community.

“Amy faced all the fi-nancial and emotional struggles of raising chil-dren as a single parent, yet she always pushed for a bright future for her boys,” Rodriquez said. “Her story resounds loudly in the lives of the young mothers at Mom’s House, and has encour-aged them to persevere and build hope for their own families. “

Past functions have paid tribute to celebrity moms such as Gladys Knight, Kaye Lani Rafko-Wilson, Mary Beth Zo-lik of 101.5 The River, Fran Anderson and Lisha

Washington. This year is sure to be just as memo-rable, featuring a heart-felt video tribute to Amy Weemes from her sons and the people who know her best. University of To-ledo head football coach Tim Beckman and a num-ber of his staff members will be in attendance to congratulate Amy and her son Eric on the integrity he shows on and off the football field.

Tickets for the 17th Annual Mom’s Night Out benefitting Mom’s House are $100 each and tables of 10 may be purchased for $950. Attendees can look forward to an eve-ning of cocktails, grazing stations, a silent auction and dancing. The pro-ceedings begin at 7 p.m.

Founded in 1983 in Johnstown, PA, by a group of Citizens Con-cerned for Human Life, Mom’s House® offers single parents, facing an unplanned pregnancy, with a viable, practical alternative to the despair of abortion and the trag-edy of welfare. Mom’s Houses® are God-cen-tered, nonprofit, licensed childcare centers. Pre-school children receive quality care and early education. Their single parents are plugged into a network of supportive services that enable them to complete their educa-tion, find jobs and get off of welfare. Those young moms who entered the program are now teachers and accountants, nurses and insurance adjusters, medical technicians and engineers and physical therapists. Many of them are married and have had other children. They prove that Mom’s House® of-fers hope-filled solutions to single parents faced with the challenge of an unplanned pregnancy.

Please send all infor-mation 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.

‘A Night to Remember’ is exciting event Inner Views with Kimmie Rose Zapf

I recently read a sign that said “In two days, tomorrow will be yesterday.” For some reason, that gave me a feeling of satisfaction, like we’re all living in the past. Here are some contributions from local citizens about the old days.

Sylvanian Douglas M. Roy thinks back: “I remember going to Howards Gas and Oil on the corner of Main and Monroe where the park is now. They were the last locally owned station, I recall, and were gone by the late 70s. Also, the fire department used to flood what is now the parking lot at Memorial Field so that we could skate. I remember putting on my skate guards and walking across the street with a shovel to make a hockey rink for impromptu games with neighborhood kids. It was difficult to transition to Tam-O-Shanter because we got used to skating on bumpy ice. Frozen toes were a real issue in those days as we did not want to come in. Also, we used to have a community talent show at the Burnam Building. “

Overheard recently at the Sylvania Senior Center:

Elderly Man: “My family had the old Hudson dealership in town.

Senior Woman: “You mean, back when you could buy a new car for $1000?”

Another Elderly Man: “Yeah, I bought from him. He overcharged me....I paid $2000!”

Sylvania Historian Trini Wenninger on social networking sites, and their role in historical interests: “When the Internet was still new to me, I sought out online communities of people like me and was pleased to find other people throughout the country with the same historical interests. Now I use Facebook to keep up with others and organizations. Among my online contacts, I have some that portray various time periods, others that participate in Civil War reenactments, and yet others that focus on all things Laura Ingalls Wilder. I can also follow historical happenings, being connected with historical societies and groups. If I have a question, it’s like having a panel of experts at my fingertips.”

Vikki (Bonkowski) Marshall responded to a previous column on Bean

Festivals: “I was a Bean Queen contestant in fall ‘75. If I remember correctly, the contestants were required to be high school seniors. I was among the seniors that graduated in 1976, the last year of Sylvania High School. The next school year was the beginning of Northview and Southview. We rode in a parade that morning (in the back of convertible cars, no less) and the competition was in the evening. The contestants had to model casual and formal wear. We also had to answer a question from the judges, like ‘If you could marry anyone in the world, who would it be?’ I was lucky enough to be first runner-up, beaten by Bean Queen Linda Ice, who was crowned by the previous year’s winner. Our picture was featured on the front page of the Sylvania Sentinel. The Bean Queen contest was the highlight of the festival, which was quite small, with a few rides, games and concession stands. However, we had fun! Thanks for the memories!”

Former Sylvanian David Miller used to work at the Allen V. Smith bean packing plant described in that column. He was 16 and would unload box cars, weigh the beans, sew storage bags together and run the tow motor. He recalls it was hard work, especially going into the hopper to clean it out but he had fun.

Sylvania Historian Gayleen Gindy reminisces about her youth: Downtown Sylvania was awesome when I was a kid. Western Auto, a pet shop, art gallery, Hale’s Drug Store, bowling alley, bike shop, Lindau Drug with their soda fountain, the bakery, post office and Sterling Milk Store, known for their shelves and shelves of penny candy.

I often hear references to how nylon stockings were in short supply during wartime. I can’t help but think if that happened today, nobody would notice.”

So, do you have old Sylvania memories? Share them at [email protected] or 419-318-9632 and they could appear in a future column!

Sylvania Students visit Washington, D.C.

Fourty eighth grade students and four adult chaperones, from Arbor Hills, McCord and Timberstone Junior High Schools spent part of their Spring vacation touring the sites of Washington, D.C. The weather was very pleasant, which allowed them to take lots of photos of the cherry blossoms, which were in full bloom. The group traveled with Eddie Boggs, of American City Tours. Boggs, who is a licensed Washington DC tour guide, is a retired teacher and counselor of 34 years at McCord Junior High School. A much larger group from the same schools will travel to D.C. in June with American City Tours.

Boggs has a long history of taking students to D.C., as parents of several of the students traveling on these trips also made a similar trip with him when they were eighth grade students in Sylvania.

SYLVANIA- The Sylvania High School Medical Technologies (Med Tech) students are juniors and seniors who are studying to become health care professionals. These students belong to a co-curricular club called HOSA – Health Occupations Students of America. HOSA was founded to promote and enhance the development of future health professionals and is not only a local organization but reaches nationwide; with over 100,000 members and over 30 states with members. At the National level HOSA has partnered with JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) to promote awareness of Type 1 Diabetes and to raise money to find a cure for diabetes. All across the United States HOSA students are working on this project, as well as the local Med Tech/HOSA students.

Locally, the Sylvania Med Tech students started with getting the school involved in the project. They hosted a whole school “Cupid Shuffle” and charged fellow students to come “Shuffle for a Cure.” Over 760 students participated in the school-wide event and raised about $1,000 dollars for JDRF. The videotaped Cupid Shuffle was posted on YouTube on Valentine’s Day.

The students then

put out a challenge to all Sylvania Schools to raise money for JDRF, in a friendly race to raise the most money for the cure. So far Northview High School, Southview High School, Maplewood Elementary, and Arbor Hills Junior High School have risen to the challenge. Each school is completing different activities to raise money- from selling cut-out shoes to hosting a student/staff basketball game.

The Med Tech students have also been reaching out to the community, working with local businesses. Krogers and other local businesses are being provided with posters and flyers to encourage donations and awareness of JDRF. The students have also approached Wal-Mart and Shmucker’s to donate and/or match the money they raise.

The culminating event will be a JDRF Benefit concert on April 30 from 7-9:30pm at Sylvania Northview High School in their new Performing Arts Center. The concert will include performances from Tantric Soul, a local band that headlines at Fat Fish Blue, Skoobie Snaks, a diverse cover band from the Sylvania area, and Mt Fuji and the Eruptions, another local variety band. All the bands have ties to Sylvania with either children attending Sylvania schools, living and working in the area, or are Sylvania school’s graduates. The event will also include a dance performance from Dance FX. A spokesperson from JDRF Advocacy will be a featured speaker at the event.

As many as three million Americans have juvenile diabetes and about 80 people are newly diagnosed each day. Local students are working together with the local JDRF to make a difference, by raising money and awareness. For more information about the local JDRF, go to www.jdrf.org/northwestohio.

PERRYSBURG- Fifty students from the Toledo-area and Findlay-area campuses graduated from the Ohio Basic Peace Officer Training Academy at Owens Community College Apr. 18.

The special ceremonies occurred in the College’s Center for Fine and Performing Arts Mainstage Theatre on the Toledo-area Campus. Owens is located on Oregon Road in Perrysburg Township.

“Owens Community College is proud to continue its collaboration with the Ohio Peace Officers Training Commission and recognize these 50 individuals for their educational accomplishment,” Robert Albright, Owens coordinator of public service training program, said. “Our nation would not experience freedom and safety as we know it without each graduate’s decision to pursue a career in public service.”

Founded in 1970, the Basic Peace Officer Training Academy is offered on the Toledo-area and Findlay-area campuses in cooperation with the Ohio Peace Officers Training Commission. As part of the seven-month program, Owens police academy students take courses in patrol operations, firearms, defensive tactics and criminal investigation using modern, high-tech police equipment. Participants receive expert instruction from local police officers, sheriff’s deputies and corrections officers, as well as state and federal agents.

Following successful completion of the College’s Basic Peace Officer Training Academy, Owens graduates become eligible for certification as an Ohio peace officer. In addition, coursework earned by police academy graduates will apply toward an associate degree at Owens in law enforcement.

Local law enforcement agencies where Owens graduates have been employed include the Findlay Police Department, Fostoria Police Department, Hancock County Sheriff’s Department, Henry County Sheriff’s Department, Lucas County Sheriff’s Department, Maumee

Police Department, Northwood Police Department, Perrysburg City Police Department, Perrysburg Township Police Department, Sylvania City Police Department, Sylvania Township Police Department, Toledo Police Department and the Wood County Sheriff’s Department.

The following students have completed the required number of law enforcement contact hours set forth by the Ohio Revised Code and the Ohio Peace Officers Training Commission.

Ohio’s Best HometownThe City was selected as one

of Ohio’s Best Hometowns by Ohio Magazine for 2010. This is a wonderful award for our community, recognizing our many community assets and the high quality of life Sylvania has to offer.

Quality of life issues have always been important to us in Sylvania. Sylvania has excellent schools and a vibrant Lourdes College. Sylvania is recognized around northwest Ohio for terrific recreation programs and venues. Our neighborhoods are safe and well maintained, we have beautiful parks, and our public services are efficiently delivered. We have excellent health care facilities at Flower Hospital. We have an active Senior Center. We have maintained a friendly environment for business and job growth, attracting new jobs and investment.

Sylvania has a lot to offer and is a great place to live, work and raise a family. It is wonderful to have our community recognized for all the terrific assets we have. My thanks to all who work every day to make Sylvania a great place and I look forward to even greater things to come.

A Busy Year in SylvaniaSylvania is always a great

place to be and 2010 was no exception with lots of activities and programs for residents and visitors to enjoy.

The 26th Annual Jamie Farr LPGA Classic was held in Sylvania. The crowds were large at Highland Meadows Golf Club, attracting visitors from around the region to Sylvania. As a part of the week’s festivities, “Taking It To The Streets” was held downtown on Thursday night July 1 by the Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce. Our thanks to Councilman Mike Brown for organizing a classic auto show with 200 cars, bringing one of the largest crowds ever to downtown Sylvania.

The Sylvania Riverball Race was held Saturday, July 17 in Harroun Park to benefit the Sylvania Conservation Corps, with many terrific prizes donated by Sylvania businesses and residents. The 20 junior high school students of the Sylvania Conservation Corps were honored at a family picnic for their many improvement projects around the community this summer.

Centennial Terrace’s 2010 Summer Concert Series was held with outstanding programs and performers all summer. The Independence Day fireworks were the best ever. July 23 and 24 saw the inaugural Pizza Palooza which was a great time for all.

Olander Park also offered a variety of outside music programs every other Wednesday evening during summer. Olander Park is a wonderful venue anytime during the summer but especially so during their open air music programs on the deck overlooking Olander Lake.

The CABA World Series Baseball Tournament was held at Pacesetter Park the week of July 23, bringing thousands of young ball players and their families to Sylvania.

The circus came to town on Friday, August 6, with two shows presented under the big top by The Kelly Miller Circus at the corner of Brint Road and Centennial. The Sylvania Sunrise Lions Club sponsored the circus with all proceeds going to benefit those in need around the Sylvania community.

The 30th annual Sylvania Triathlon/Duathlon was run August 8 at Olander Park. The event has brought thousands of world class athletes to Sylvania over the years. Also held the day before was the 21st annual Sylvania Superkids Triathlon/Duathlon, one of the oldest kids triathlons in the country.

Arbor Day, Memorial Day, Founders Day, Independence Day, Art in the Garden and National Patriots Day activities and ceremonies were held throughout the year.

Later in the year, Children’s Wonderland was hosted by SAJRD at Sylvania Tam O’ Shanter. Many children of all ages attended, and it was a great success. My thanks to all those who worked and volunteered to restore the displays purchased from Lucas County and welcomed visitors from all around the area.

Downtown Sylvania Busy with Many Events

Downtown Sylvania was also a busy place this year as the Sylvania community celebrated Ohio Magazine’s Best Hometown for 2010. Downtown Delights was held in the spring, “Taking It To The Streets” during Jamie Farr Week and Fossil Fest later in the summer. The busy year continued in the fall with the Fall Festival, Downtown Delights and Holiday Happenings.

The annual Sylvania Fall Festival and Parade was held Sunday, October 17 in a very busy downtown. It was a beautiful fall day with perfect weather. Thousands of people attended, probably the largest crowd ever. The organizing committee also reported a record number of exhibitors and vendors.

The Fall Festival parade was terrific as always with the Northview and Southview High School bands in Halloween costumes providing exciting musical highlights. Many school children marched with their school groups, as did community organizations. Senior citizen groups, SAJRD’s Childrens Wonderland and area businesses all had vehicles in the parade.

My thanks to the Sylvania Sister Cities Commission who organizes and hosts the Fall Festival and Parade each year. Our sister city of Woodstock, Ont. was represented in the parade by Woodstock Fire and EMS personnel and vehicles and by their Santa Claus Parade chairmen. Woodstock again invited the combined Northview and Southview bands to participate in their November 20 Santa Claus Parade and again helped to finance the band’s travel costs.

My congratulations and thanks to Fall Festival Parade Grand Marshall Eddie Boggs for his many years of community service, including annually announcing the Fall Festival Parade. My heartfelt thanks to the many volunteers that made the parade and festival possible, especially Fall Festival Chairman Jane Herwat, Sister Cities Commission Chairman Mike Leiber and Historical Village curator Joy Armstrong.

Thursday, November 11 officially started the downtown holiday shopping season with the annual Downtown Delights. The Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce organized the event, with special prizes and activities between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

On Saturday, December 4 the Sylvania Historical Commission hosted the annual Holiday Happenings on Main Street in downtown Sylvania from 4:30–7:30 p.m. Santa Claus arrived in a carriage on Main Street early in the evening and met with all interested children at the old train depot. Carriage rides were provided, as were cookies and punch for all attendees.

Flower Hospital 100th Anniversary

Flower Hospital celebrated a “Century of Changing Lives” on October 10, 2010. The hospital was founded in 1910 in Toledo to provide a community based hospital with a broad range of comprehensive healthcare services. The hospital purchased land in Sylvania, built a new hospital and moved to Sylvania in 1975. We are so glad they did and congratulate them on their century of service and health care.

Flower Hospital is an asset to the Sylvania community, providing outstanding healthcare services to our residents. Flower Hospital is also the largest employer in Sylvania, providing thousands of jobs to Sylvania and area residents. Further, Flower Hospital draws many visitors to our community, seeking the excellent healthcare available on their campus.

The Flower Hospital campus itself is a beautiful part of our community. Starting with new facilities in 1975, the hospital has developed around

an ever evolving and forward thinking masterplan. The vistas provided to the community, as well as the tallest water column fountain in the region, are truly spectacular.

The campus is also growing and thriving. Recent improvements include the expansion of its Emergency Center, development of inpatient psychiatric services and Flower Rehabilitation Center, the addition of outpatient services for cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, the construction of a new medical office building, and the establishment of the Hickman Cancer Center, a regional leader in cancer care.

The City of Sylvania congratulates Flower Hospital on its 100th anniversary, and on the many excellent programs and services it provides to our residents. My best wishes to ProMedica Health Systems, Flower Hospital president Alan Sattler and the thousands of professionals working every day on the Flower Hospital campus to improve our health and quality of life. Well done and congratulations!

Senior Center Congratulations

Congratulations to the Sylvania Senior Center on receiving National Accreditation from the National Institute of Senior Centers this year. Only about one percent of the 15,000 senior centers in America have been so recognized.

Accreditation is based on excellence in nine areas: purpose, community collaboration, program planning, evaluation, financial management, governance, administration/human resources, record keeping and facility.

The Sylvania Senior Center has been in operation for 32 years – 24 of which were in the basement of the old Burnham Building. The last eight years have been in their beautiful new building on Sylvania Avenue next to Tam O-Shanter.

The City of Sylvania reached out for help and received financial support from the State of Ohio Capital Improvements Fund, the Lucas County Area Office on Aging and Sylvania Township to join in paying for the Center’s construction. Bonds issued by the City are being paid down by regular payments from the City and Sylvania Township.

Prior to authorizing construction, the City required a senior operating levy be approved by Sylvania City and Township voters to support the ongoing operation of the Center. The .32 mil levy was passed 10 years ago, renewed 5 years ago, and again approved on the general election ballot for renewal in November.

The Senior Center annually serves nearly 3,000 area seniors and about 250 on a daily basis. The programs it offers help seniors remain independent in their homes, decreases isolation and provides transportation. Programming includes health and wellness, education opportunities, outreach, supportive services and recreation.

Our award wining Senior Center is an asset to the Sylvania community. The Center improves the quality of life for our senior citizens, while at the same time making our community more desirable and keeping our property values higher.

City of Sylvania Bond Rating Raised

In preparation for the sale of $6,950,000 of notes financing recent road and infrastructure improvements, the City of Sylvania worked through the process of having its credit rating reviewed, and as a result had its bond rating improved.

The City has the highest public bond rating in Lucas County, lowering the City’s interest rate and saving taxpayer dollars.

We are fortunate in Sylvania to have maintained a stronger economic position than many of our neighbors. Tax receipts have remained nearly level, allowing Sylvania to avoid the problems of falling revenues, raising taxes and/or reducing services. In addition the City’s moderate overall debt burden, good reserve levels and financial management practices considered good under Standard and Poors Financial Management Assessment all contributed to the positive review.

The credit rating agency, Standard and Poors, recognized these factors and awarded Sylvania a bond rating of AA+, only one step below the highest rating available anywhere. Our location in northwest Ohio and relative small size were listed as the only reasons why the highest rating was not assigned. This is the second credit rating improvement for the City of Sylvania in the past 14 years.

The 12 month notes were rated SP1+ and were sold with a net interest cost of .501%. The notes were sold on June 29 and settled on July 13. The successful bidder was TD Securities.

The notes financed $3,250,000 of 2009 improvements to Acres, Elliott, Roan, Indian Trail, Arrowhead Drive and the Olde Post Road Bridge. The notes also financed $3,700,000 of 2010 improvements to Graystone, Gregory, Gillingham, Orvieto, Angleview Ct. and the City’s portion of the ODOT repaving of Alexis Road.

Using the notes allowed the City to take advantage of current lower construction costs without spending down reserves, increasing taxes or assessing property owners. The improvements will be paid for over their useful life. Neighborhood street improvements in Sylvania have been made for the past 12 years without property owner assessments. Improving the streets helps our neighborhoods remain attractive and desirable, keeping property values higher.

Personnel ChangesThe City of Sylvania has

for many years benefited from hardworking and loyal employees willing to work a variety of tasks as needed to make municipal government efficient and responsive. Many have worked for the City twenty-five years or more and are now reaching retirement age.

The City workers involved include all segments of the City: police, streets, utilities, tax and finance. Some key employees have already retired and have been replaced as needed; several more will retire in the next few years.

The City of Sylvania Police Division has experienced significant personnel changes during the past three years. Since February, 2008, eleven new officers have been hired to replace officers who retired or resigned, almost a third of the force. The officers hired have all been chosen to help maintain the professionalism of the Police Division and the quality of police service for our residents.

The nine officers who retired had a combined total of 296 years of experience with the Police Division. That is a great deal of experience and knowledge to lose, including the retirement of Chief Gerald Sobb in April, 2010. Most of the officers were required to retire due to their participation in the State of Ohio DROP retirement program. They all served our community well and with distinction and I thank

them for their many years of service.

Captain William Rhodus was appointed Chief of Police in April, 2010, and Sergeant Rick Schnoor was then appointed to Captain in May, 2010. Police Officer Stacey Pack was promoted to Sergeant in August, 2010.

All of the newly hired officers brought experience with them from other police departments ranging from 1-1/2 years of part-time experience to 8 years as a full time officer. They came from other police departments including Toledo, Findlay, Montpelier, Fostoria and Lucas County Sheriff. Another officer came from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. I welcome them all.

We also have had three telecommunicators retire and be replaced in the past three years. Of the three new replacements, one brought 8 years and another 6 years of experience from the Toledo Police Department.

The City of Sylvania will be facing more retirements in other City departments as more baby boomer generation employees reach retirement age. We will seek the best replacements available for the positions and also look at restructuring how the City works to better serve the community. But as with the Police Division, we will lose a great deal of experience, know-how and institutional knowledge.

TASERSAfter considerable study,

the City of Sylvania Police Division added TASERS to the equipment carried by police officers. TASERS send out short duration, high voltage impulses that overpower the body’s normal electrical nerve signals causing temporary incapacitation without permanent injury. They provide the officer another option without the danger of physical force or using a firearm. Sometimes just the threat of using a TASER will cause a suspect to surrender.

TASERS have been in use by other police departments in the area, occasionally with poor results as reported in the media. The units selected for use in Sylvania are equipped with cameras to record both audio and video when the TASER is placed in the armed mode. Together with required officer training, the new TASERS should be an effective new tool for the Sylvania Police Division.

New department policy was developed for proper TASER use. All officers are required to attend an eight hour training session to be certified to carry a TASER unit. The officers also participate in several training sessions simulating TASER use scenarios including deploying training cartridges when appropriate.

Sylvania selected TASER Model X-26 at a cost of $814.95 per unit including holster and battery. The recording unit costs an additional $411.95 and will store up to 1.5 hours of audio/video. Cartridges cost $20.95 each.

The TASER delivers 1,200 volts, not the 50,000 volts sometimes reported in the

media. The amperage of the TASER X-26 is just 0.0021 Amps. compared to 1.0 Amps. for a typical holiday tree light. The low amperage increases the safety of the TASER. Anyone shocked by a TASER will be required to be checked at Flower Hospital for injury.

Gateway ProgressSylvania City Council

voted to move ahead with several Gateway improvement projects in the Monroe Street area between US 23 and Main Street. The Gateway improvement projects are to update and enhance the area, attracting new businesses and residents.

The first project is to improve the appearance of Monroe Street as a gateway to our community heading west toward the downtown. City Council requested engineering plans to bury the lower voltage electrical lines and telephone lines crossing over Monroe Street. In addition, planning is proceeding to install decorative street lights to match the downtown.

City Council also approved adding more flowers next year on the Harroun Road bridge and west of the Monroe Street bridges to compliment the flowers on the Main Street bridge and in Seney Park just east of US 23. Planting improvements are also planned for the expressway interchange area.

The second Gateway improvement project is to clear land and promote redevelopment of the land south of Monroe Street between Main Street and the North Branch of Ten Mile Creek. The City acquired and demolished the former Nelms Building, adding it to other properties already owned and cleared by the City. Planning is underway to redevelop the land into a new business area to compliment the downtown and take advantage of the riverfront and Harroun Park views.

Further, City Council authorized a marketing study be prepared for this SOMO (South of Monroe Street) area to analyze the types of businesses best suited and desired by residents. The study can then be used to encourage those types of businesses and developers to invest in the area.

The third Gateway improvement project is the construction of the River Trail along Ten Mile Creek. The first phase of this walking and biking trail between Harroun Road and Main Street was authorized by City Council for bidding in Spring, 2011. A pedestrian bridge will span Ten Mile Creek just west of the North Branch confluence, with a trail spur extending north to Monroe Street.

The River Trail will improve and open up this waterfront area for public enjoyment and recreation, and be integral in the redevelopment of the SOMO area. State of Ohio grants were received to pay about 60% of the $1.3 million construction cost. Future grant funds will be sought to extend the trail east of US 23 and west to Silica Road in future years.

Thank you Keith Haddad

During City Council’s regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, August 16, Council President Keith Haddad publicly announced his resignation from City Council effective August 30th. On behalf of the Sylvania community, I extend a heartfelt thank you to Keith Haddad for his many years of community service to Sylvania on City Council and the many other committees he has served on over the years. His leadership and service will be greatly missed by Sylvania.

Keith first became active in the Sylvania community in 1989 as an active opponent to the proposed low level nuclear waste dump in Riga Township, Michigan, just across the border from Sylvania. He was appointed to Sylvania City Council on August 2, 1993 to serve the remaining term of longtime Councilmember Tom Zeigler. Keith was successfully elected and re-elected to Council since then and was the longest currently serving member of City Council.

Like many on City Council, Keith worked tirelessly to improve our Sylvania community. Over the years he provided leadership for many community projects and boards. He presided as Council President twice, 2002–2003 and 2008–2010. Keith lead City Council’s efforts to improve curbside recycling and refuse collection. He served as City Council’s representative to SAJRD for several years, and was instrumental in researching and staging bigger and better Independence Day fireworks shows every

year. He also represented Sylvania at the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments on the Environmental Council.

By the City Charter, Sylvania City Council had 30 days to appoint a new member of Council to serve the remainder of Mr. Haddad’s current term through the end of 2011. Sandy Husman, a member of the City of Sylvania Planning Commission, was appointed to the position. The seat will be up for election in the November, 2011 general election.

It took awhile to get started but it was well worth the wait. Edible Arrangements on Central Avenue is approaching its first anniversary in May. Many in the community were excited when the location opened and business has been thriving in the store’s first year.

Bryan Demko is the local franchise owner. He had a goal to own his own business or franchise and after learning about opportunities with Edible Arrangements, he realized that was the right fit for him. After deciding to take on the challenge of opening a franchise store, Demko had to find the proper financing and bank loans. This proved

to be a long process with lots of rejection along the way but Demko stayed determined and opened his store last May.

Business is a combination of Internet orders and a steady flow of in-store traffic. The store offers a variety of fruit arrangements including holiday themes and characters to match any party or personality from children to adults. The colorful arrangements are perfect for party snacks or to give as a gift.

Edible Arrangements first began as a company in 2001.

The business quickly grew and now has over 1,000 stores around the world and is one of the fastest growing franchise companies.

Sylvania ReadersEach Week

By Christine A. HollidayHerald Writer

There weren’t too many men in the shops on Main Street Thursday evening April 14 but the merchants weren’t complaining. They were all participating in the Ladies Night Out, held to benefit Sylvania Family Services. Each shop offered special sales, tempted shoppers with spring merchandise and refreshments and collected canned food items from customers. Several shops offered a percentage of their sales to Family Services and all offered typical Sylvania hospitality to those who visited.

Jodi Cooke, owner of The Rock Garden, a custom design fine jewelry store, explained why she opened her store in downtown Sylvania. “I feel safe here,” she said, “and the people who come in to shop are very friendly. The other merchants are very supportive, too, so it is fun to have my store here.”

Ms. Cooke’s cases showed off her designs in rings and pendants and guests were able to buy a raffle ticket for a fur coat displayed in her store. The proceeds of the raffle were earmarked for Family Services.

Melissa Noethen was helping customers at C’est

La Vie. She looked over the crowd in the boutique store, and noted, “We have made so many friends here on Main Street. This is the most perfect spot to have a business because all the merchants are wonderful neighbors!”

Among the customers at C’est La Vie was retired Sylvania school teacher Renee Smith. She enjoys events like this and makes a point of attending as many as she can.

“The stores have so many fun things to look at, so I am always happy to come to do some shopping. I like to see big crowds supporting our local stores.”

Across the street at Lady C’s, owner Candy Sturtz talked proudly of her 21 years in Sylvania. She said she is excited to see downtown Sylvania “on its way back,” and encourages shoppers (men and women) to embrace the traditional downtown. She was happy to see so many of her guests taking a look at the silver/brass/copper jewelry offered by artist Claudia Carreon and hopes future spring and summer events will bring more visitors to the stores on Main Street.

At Juni, owner Lisa Rozanski showed off the vintage and contemporary items in her store, and

reminded shoppers a percentage of her sales would benefit Sylvania Family Services. She also informed them she would be moving to a new location (just a bit further south on Main Street) in late May. She, too, mentioned the friendly customers and business-friendly environment in Sylvania, as did Josh Harmon at Bumble’s.

“Everyone has been very receptive to us and our business,” he said. “We love it here in Sylvania.”

Chandler Cafe employees Ashley Kurtz and Kate LaCourse were on hand to serve muffins and other goodies to shoppers at the Ladiess Night Out.

Removing ash trees from private property just got a little easier with the extension and expansion of the removal program funded by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Forestry, and operated by WSOS Community Action Commission, Inc.

Widespread infestation of the ash borer has left many homeowners in Northwest Ohio, facing unexpected and cost-prohibitive expenses of dead ash tree removal. This program can assist these homeowners.

The Western Lake Erie Basin Residential Ash Tree Removal Program provided through the efforts of U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Toledo, will assist in the removal of up to two trees per property owner who has property in Lucas, Wood, Sandusky, Ottawa or Seneca counties.

Applications are due on or before June 3 and are available at any public library; all township, village and city offices; county office’s of the Soil and Water Conservation Districts; and the Ohio State University Extension Offices (Lucas county residents call 419-578-6783 x 14). They

are also online at the WSOS and Sandusky River Watershed Coalition websites.

The program requires that households with incomes less than 300 percent of the federal poverty guideline must provide 35 percent of the cost of the tree removal. Those households over the 300 percent poverty guideline must pay 50 percent of the cost of the tree removal. The income guideline means that annual incomes must be no more than $32,670 for a single-person household and up to $89,970 for a six-person household. Residents will be asked to provide proof of income.

The homeowner may choose to pay the 35 or 50 percent in cash match by paying tree removal only or a combination of stump grinding and tree removal. In addition, the tree must be an ash tree and must pose a threat to a structure or play area.

Applications and more information are available from your local OSU Extension County office or by calling Cindy Brookes at 419-334-5016 or by visiting the following websites: www.wsos.org and www.sanduskyriver.org.

The nearly two million graduates of Sylvan Learning programs nationwide can now use their experience at Sylvan to help make a difference in their communities. Through a new Sylvan Stars alumni program, Sylvan aims to build a network that allows alumni to connect with each other and to share their personal success stories as a way of inspiring current Sylvan students to achieve their own personal best.

According to Dr. Rick Bavaria, senior vice president of education outreach for Sylvan, many former Sylvan students feel the confidence and academic skills they gained at Sylvan represented a turning point in their lives. Sylvan is asking these “Sylvan Stars” to come forward and share their stories at www.SylvanStars.com in an effort to harness the power of these graduates in helping today’s

and tomorrow’s students believe in their own ability to achieve personal and professional success.

“It’s free, and it takes only a few minutes of time to share your story on our new Sylvan Stars website,” Craig Beckett of Sylvan Learning located in Holland said. “If you’re a graduate of our center who has gone on to success as a cool mom or dad, a successful business person, a favorite teacher to your own students now, or someone making a difference in the world as a doctor, lawyer, clergy person, law enforcement member, farmer, or associate in a business, we’d love to hear from you. Your story could make a real difference in the life of a struggling student in our community.”

Retired NFL player Robert Tate is one of the first Sylvan stars to share his story on SylvanStars.com. Tate

credits the Sylvan Learning Center in Harrisburg, PA that he attended during his high school years with giving him the confidence and skills to succeed academically and in life.

“Sylvan helped me be a better man and taught me how to handle life-long experiences as far as dealing with my peers and people who tell you that you are nobody,” Tate said. “I attended Sylvan Learning Center my sophomore year of high school and it made all the difference in the world for me academically. My grades improved significantly and for the first time, I felt good about myself in school.”

Tate played for a total of nine years with the Minnesota Vikings, Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals before retiring in 2008. Today, Tate is a motivational speaker, author and founder of a

foundation that helps children with dyslexia.

Eighteen year old Cory Joyce from North Carolina is another Sylvan graduate and a rising star in the world of stock car racing.

“While racing knowledge may have come naturally to me, that wasn’t the case with math and reading as I made the transition to junior high school,” Joyce said. “Sylvan took a hands-on approach I was used to seeing in my racing, and helped make learning fun again. Over time, both my grades and confidence went up.”

Metamora State Bank offers many services in-cluding checking, savings and certificates of deposit, health savings accounts, IRAs, money market sav-ings, CDARs, internet banking, consumer loans, small business loans, mortgage loans, agricul-tural loans and alternative investment solutions.

Background and His-tory

Metamora’s first branch opened in July 1944 in Metamora. The Sylvania Branch opened in 1995.

The Metamora State Bank first opened its doors on July 1, 1944, and cele-brated its 65th anniversary in 2009. Initially operated by a husband and wife team of only two employ-ees with a financial base of only $1.5 million, the bank has enjoyed much growth, and now employs 19 people, with assets in excess of $60 million.

Over the years there have not only been chang-es to the bank building, but to the way it operates,

as well. Originally using hand-processed transac-tions and then bookkeep-ing machines to make work easier, the bank embarked on a comput-erized banking system through a correspondent bank in 1980. In 1992 a remote processing proof machine was purchased, which could process items and transmit the work via telephone lines to our pro-cessor.

We introduced our web-site and Internet Banking in 2001. Customers have been very receptive to looking at their accounts online, making transfers between accounts and even paying their bills through Internet Banking. We will continue to utilize tech-nology to address our cus-tomers’ growing needs in the future. Telebanc was introduced in 2009.

As one of a dwindling number of locally-owned banks, Metamora State Bank is owned by a one-bank holding company known as Metamora Ban-corp, Inc., formed in 1985 to ensure the continuing image of a community bank.

Employees- Over 400 years of banking

experienceThe company’s current

Board of Directors con-sists of James Armstrong (President/CEO), Kath-leen Fischer (EVP/CFO/COO), Robert Huskins, Fred Mossing (Chair-man), David Pifer and

Thomas Zraik. Timo-thy Weaver is the branch manager at Sylvania and Joseph Damman is the branch manager in Meta-mora.

Our Business is proud of our personalized cus-tomer service. We know you by name. Our em-ployees take the time to get to know you and your family so we can provide you with the best possible products and services. You can stop in and talk to your bank president and your loan decisions are made by the person taking your applications. Most large banks can’t promise you this. We are locally owned and reinvest right here in our community. The money you deposit here is used to make loans to local residents and small businesses in your neigh-borhood. We also donate money and time to local events, schools, and fund raisers. We are Home-Style Banking, The Way Banking Should Be.

Our business will thrive by the continued support of our existing custom-ers and new customers, as they become more aware of the importance of bank-ing with their local com-munity bank. With their loyalty, they help their neighborhood to grow and prosper, especially in these hard economic times.

Living in a community that provides programs and services for youth through seniors speaks highly of the quality of life in Sylvania. Sylvania Community Ser-vices is part of the success in this community and we were 34 years strong in 2010.

The Sylvania Area Cham-ber of Commerce awarded our agency the “Chamber Champion Award” for 2010 in their non-profit category for outstanding leadership and we were truly honored.

We are proud to contin-ue providing quality Child

Care services to the Sylvania Community. Our commit-ment to providing quality programs in a safe environ-ment with an affordable pay-only-for-days-used policy helps makes our program popular to working families.

Our gratitude to the Syl-vania community for their support was overflowing this year as the community voted in favor of a five-year renew-al operating levy for Sylva-nia Senior Center in Novem-ber. We were also very proud the Center received National Accreditation from the Na-

tional Institute of Senior Centers. The hard work of many was recognized in an Accreditation Celebration in October.

Our terrific staff, man-agers, board, and volunteers work very hard to serve the community through the pro-grams we offer. The support of the Sylvania School Sys-tem, the City of Sylvania, and Sylvania Township help make this all possible.

Thank you Sylvania, for allowing us to serve you for our 34th year.

On Friday, April 22, Earth Day will be recognized by millions all over the world. Many will take part in specific activities Earth Day represents. Users of public transit across the United States will directly affect the reduction of greenhouse gases when they board their bus or train going to work, school, medical appointments, and just about anywhere.

Every year, public transportation reduces the nation’s carbon emissions by 37 million metric tons—equivalent to the electricity used by 4.9 million households. In fact, riding public transportation is one of the most significant actions one can take to reduce their household carbon emissions. Commuting on public transportation can reduce an individual’s carbon footprint by 4,800 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions per year.

In the Toledo area, over 3.5 million passenger trips were made by TARTA in 2010.

TARTA not only goes green on the road, it’s building green, too. With a scheduled completion in August of 2011, an 80,000-square-foot building will be home to the offices and maintenance facilities for TARTA’s paratransit operations, also known as TARPS, Toledo Area Regional Paratransit Service. The green building design incorporates a geothermal heating and cooling system, /solar panels, skylights, reflective roofing, and earth sheltering for energy efficiency. /There will be a biodiesel fueling station for public vehicles on the site as well.

Two new diesel/electric hybrid buses will be added to TARTA’s fleet this year through the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Clean and

Green Program from federal funds. The $1.2 investment by ODOT is part of the overall /$40 million 21st Century Transit Partnerships for Ohio’s Next Generation.

In 2011, TARTA expects to use over a million gallons of biodiesel fuel. /Biodiesel fuel is better for the environment than its petroleum counterpart because it produces lower emissions. Biodiesel is also made from domestic, renewable resources, decreasing our dependence on foreign oil. TARTA also recycles its engine oil using a waste oil heater for one of its service buildings, and washes its buses with water heated by the same waste oil.

Future green innovations include plans for a solar field on TARTA’s 130,000 square foot garage to power the facility’s lighting needs.

The Olander Park System (TOPS) serves the natural recreations needs of the Sylvania School District. Formed as an ORC Section 1545 Park District in 1958, TOPS operates Fossil, Olander, Sylvan Prairie and Whetstone Parks, Southview and Herr Road Oak Savannas, and Quarry Ridge Bike Trail.

The Fossil Park solar-powered restroom opened in May 2010. TOPS funded just 42 percent of the structure, receiving $220,500 in contributions and grants.

TOPS expanded Sylvan Prairie by 52 acres to 150 acres. It received $425,390 from the Clean Ohio Fund and $70,000 from the Land

& Water Conservation Fund to pay 57 percent of the acquisition. TOPS restored 32 acres of Sylvan Prairie, a failed golf course, into native meadow in 2009 and rehabilitated another 17 in 2010.

TOPS dedicated the JoAnne Gorman Rain Garden & Brick Walk at Olander Park. This eliminated the maintenance lot’s constant flooding while greatly enhancing Olander’s beauty by replacing dumpsters with native and raised gardens, benches, trees and the magnificent brick walk. Mrs. Gorman was a longtime volunteer and donations to her raised 85 percent of the cost.

TOPS hosts roughly

25 nature and education classes monthly, as well as the Easter Egg Hunt, Maple Sugaring Festival, Kids Trout Derby, “Sunset Serenades” Concerts, Super Kids & Sylvania Triathlons, and “Halloween Hike.”

A three-person Board of Park Commissioners governs TOPS. Lucas County Probate Court Judge Jack Puffenberger appoints Commissioners to three-year terms without pay. Gail Abood, Harold C. McElmurry and John C. Zeitler are current Commissioners.
