Sylvania Chamber announces “Taking it to the Streets” event “Taking it to the Streets – Downtown Sylvania”, the family friendly street festival sponsored by the Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce and the Sylvania Downtown Business Association will be hosted on Main Street in Sylvania on Thursday, July 14. The event will be from 5 p.m. – 9 p.m. This year’s theme is – “Taking it to the Streets – Bastille Day”. The Sylvania Area Cham- ber has hosted a “Taking it to the Streets” Downtown festi- val for the last four years in conjunction with the Jamie Farr Classic in July. This year, the Farr has taken a hiatus because of the Senior Open and the chamber want- ed to continue the momen- tum of the event since there are 3,000 people who attend yearly. The event is held on Main Street, which is closed from Erie to Monroe Streets. There is a huge car show, entertain- ment from Skoobie Snacks, children’s activities, refresh- ments and -- new this year -- a Bastille Day Celebrity Waiter Race. The Show and Shine car show features about 100 ve- hicles that will be on display on Main Street and a people’s choice and best of show tro- phy will be awarded. Additionally, this year there is a very special event within the festival. In France and many other countries, there are waiter’s races that are held yearly. To celebrate July 14 and the French roots of Bastille Day, the Chamber is introduc- ing a celebrity waiters race at “Taking It to The Streets”. Mike Fletcher from TREO will design a race course and restaurants, celebrity runners and corporate representatives will participate in a team of three. Each team will be re- sponsible for carrying a tray with a martini glass around an obstacle course. Trophies will be awarded to the top three placers in the event as well as the bragging right in Northwest Ohio for the best wait team. The race will be during “Taking it to the Streets” -- July 14 in downtown Sylva- nia and will be held at 7 p.m. Each restaurant will have a “pit area” on Maplewood Street where the race will be held and the event is ex- pected to last about an hour. Since space is at a premium at the event, the field is lim- ited to the first twelve teams who want to participate this first year. The Sponsors of “Taking it to the Street” are Kingston- Sylvania, KeyBank, Vin De- vers Auto Haus in Sylvania, Toledo Lasik, AccuShred, Ace American Cellular, the Toledo Blade and 93.5 WRQN. By Christine A. Holliday Herald Writer Father’s Day happened this past weekend, and, no doubt, thousands of sons and daughters delivered millions of golf balls and ties and funny T-shirts to their dads. Those dads did BBQ duty, maybe allowed themselves to be waited on, and probably heard professions of love and gratitude. My original plan for this piece was to interview people to see how they celebrated Father’s Day with their dads. But, the answers I got were all the same, with mention of family dinners, shared sport- ing events, and the obligatory phone calls. I wondered if those of us who have lost our dads might offer something different, but equally impor- tant. My own father, Pug Reyn- olds, died seven years ago, after a brief stay in the hos- pital. He had undergone sur- gery for a dime-sized spot of lung cancer. The cancer was successfully removed, but there were complications. The pneumonia that nearly killed him as a young child had left all kinds of damage on his lungs. The incision of the most recent surgery never healed, and a systemic infec- tion ended his life quite unex- pectedly, just a month short of his 54th Father’s Day. So, instead of talking with him this year—about the books he thought we should be reading, or the politicians he thought we should be ig- noring, or the money we should be saving, my siblings and I were talking about him. We found, as I suspect most surviving children do, that Father’s Day gifts from all the years have more to do with what our dads give us than any gift of any size we ever gave them. My dad was a regular guy, like most dads. He wore the golf shirts and the ties we bought him, and rescued us from non-functioning cars and financial calamities.

On previous trips, she always traveled with a boss or a colleague, but this would be her first solo trip, and her mom was concerned about her safety.

Lourdes College’s Appold Planetarium will celebrate its 5-Year Anniversary June 29

The staff of Lourdes College’s Appold Planetarium is planning a 5-Year Anniversary event from 5:30 p.m. - 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 29, in the Mother Adelaide Hall at the Planetarium on the campus of Lourdes Col-lege.

Lourdes’ foundress Mother Adelaide San-dusky had a great love of astronomy and in 1968 opened one of Ohio’s first planetariums. Named in honor of Renaissance astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, Lourdes’ Copernicus Planetarium delighted audiences for more than 30 years.

In 2006, Lourdes reopened the plan-etarium, naming it the Appold Planetarium in honor of its generous benefactors Jim and Patricia Appold. The Appold’s support gave Lourdes the ability to make the planetarium better than ever. The College refurbished the interior and upgraded its software to SciDome - the world’s most comprehensive astronomy software allowing shows to be presented in full color, real-time, 3D sky simulation.

Today, Lourdes’ Appold Planetarium has grown to become one of the most beloved planetariums in the Midwest, with shows that are routinely sold out. For its excellence and popularity, Ohio Magazine named the Appold Planetarium “Best Place to See the Stars.”

On June 29, the community will gather to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the re-open-ing of Lourdes’ Planetarium in a special invi-tation-only event, followed by a planetarium show designed specifically for the celebration by Laura Megeath, Planetarium Coordinator.

The featured speaker is Kim Bowers from Miche Bag will showcase the firm’s chic and adorable purse designs. According to Bowers, a woman’s purse is her most im-portant accessory, so the firm has made it a snap (really!) so women can change a bag’s personality whenever they feel like it: in mere seconds. She added that a Miche Bag (pro-nounced ‘MEE-chee’) is just like you: It can be sweet as honey, sassy as can be, or sleek and business-like.”

Following Bowers’ presentation, attend-ees will be inspired by Linda Harrah from Parma, OH, whose talk will be: “Found -- Ex-citing Book That Gave New Perspective.”

Reservations are suggested for all Wom-en’s Connection West programs and for com-plimentary childcare. Please call Jeannine at 419-841-9653 by Monday, July 4.

were comfortable for lots of walking, and looked forward to my first trip to Europe.”

Mom and daughter met up at Charles de Gaulle Airport on Thursday morn-ing. They enjoyed a quick lunch, and then spent the rest of that first day and the rest of the 4-day weekend doing what most moms and daughters love to do: shop. “We shopped for six or sev-en hours every day,” Carol explains, “in the stores that she had determined had the items she wanted to see. Most days saw us with six or seven shopping bags each as she picked items that would provide informa-tion to American Eagle for summer 2012 clothes. She had no meetings to attend; it was just shopping and eat-ing, and we had a blast!”

Among Carol’s best memories are of her first

French crepe (banana and chocolate), wine for lunch, and the feeling of being in another world as they walked the small streets of Paris. She found the people to be very friendly and the architecture to be memo-rable, noting, “Even the windows in our hotel bath-room were big and beauti-ful.” They visited the Eiffel Tower on Friday evening as the sun was setting, and were there when a 10:00 p.m. light show began. The video she took is one she will no doubt share with her third graders in the fall.

A side benefit of her trip was recognition of the work that goes on in the fashion business. “Callie goes to youth-oriented music festi-vals during the year, such as Coachella in Palm Springs, and Roskilde in Copenha-gen, Denmark, to see what

girls are wearing. She takes pictures of them and inter-views them. They study run-way reports, and do all kinds of research. I had no idea! And I also didn’t realize how easy it was to pick out the tourists. I was the only person around wearing ten-nis shoes and boot cut jeans. I was comfortable, but not cool. The French women had such chic clothing!”

Carol Lindsley didn’t buy any of the chic fashions she saw in Paris, choosing instead to buy small souve-nirs of her trip overseas. She did come back with plenty of photographs and a life-time of memories of shar-ing a great vacation with her daughter. “It was the perfect Mother’s Day gift,” she says, “eating, shopping, and sightseeing. I couldn’t have asked for anything better!”

he shouldn’t, ate too much ice cream, nagged more than we thought was nec-essary, and was quite impatient when his kids were lazy. He didn’t protest when we teased him about his baggy shorts and his balding head and the way he talked to the dog. He defended his buying a case of ketchup or a gross of light bulbs, but nev-er bragged about caring for his bachelor uncles and his parents and my mother’s maiden aunt. He was proud to voice his rules about picking up after ourselves and getting our work done, and didn’t often say aloud that he loved us and did what he did for our benefit. He was a regular dad, all right, but what he gave us was not at all regular.

He gave us the gift of self-discipline, so we could finish college and have careers as successful adults. All five of us have at least one degree and careers that allow us to support our own families. Thanks, dad!

He gave us was a lifetime of encour-agement to read as much as we could, to

travel to see the world, to talk and to listen to people wiser than us. We’re all book lovers, and we’ve all traveled overseas, with dreams of continuing to do more of both in the future. Thanks, dad!

He gave us reasons to laugh and enjoy the lives we are living. It’s the gift that led, among many other things, to my brother’s participation in pig wrestling, and my sis-ter’s decision to name her dog after a for-mer First Lady. Thanks, dad!

There were no ties or golf balls or his-tory book gifts for my dad (and lots of other dads) this year. Like many fami-lies, we grilled without the head cook, the guy we called MOCD (Mean Old Crabby Dad), but not without hundreds of memo-ries of earlier cookouts and vacations and family suppers. He wasn’t there to lead the party, but he was certainly the reason for the party.

He would have been proud that we ate everything we put on our plates and remembered to clean up after ourselves without being told! Thanks, dad!

of Law James Moan con-ducted interviews with the six.

“They relayed to me that all of the candidates were very qualified,” Stough said. “But one stood out.”

That “one” was Kevin Aller. Stough called him “a very good fit” for Syl-vania.

“It’s a very important of-fice to the city of Sylvania,” Stough said of the Public Service Director. “He (the director) is not just the city surveyor or the city engi-neer, he also administers divisions like the road de-partment, water, sewer, and zoning. And we had to look very hard to find qualified candidates. And obviously Mr. Ballmer’s shoes are going to be very hard to fill.”

He went on to add that although being an engineer was a definite boon to be-ing the right type of person to fill the position, the right person must also be able to handle public relations, reports, and supervising a multitude of employees.

According to Ballmer, Aller would be overseeing nearly 60 people.

Aller comes from the Lucas County Sanitary Sewer Engineer’s Of-fice. Oddly, this is where Ballmer held a job before becoming the Public Ser-vice Director. Aller’s back-ground also includes gov-ernment management and administration.

Stough noted there would be an overlap when Aller starts and Ballmer retires. Since the Construc-tion Supervisor position is currently vacant, Aller will come in at that title from June 27 through 30, mov-ing into the Service Direc-tor’s job on Friday, July 1.

“I can tell you when I met him,” Stough said to the city council, “he (Aller) just feels like the right fit.”

“Jeff’s position is an im-portant one,” council mem-ber Doug Haynam said. “I don’t know Kevin, but he certainly looks on paper like a very good candi-date.” Haynam added that the process to find Aller

was extensive and “ap-propriate” and that he was “very comfortable” with the decision.

Council President Todd Milner said Mark Luetke, who was absent at the time of the meeting because he was on vacation, was aware of Aller being rec-ommended to the position and approved of it.

Eichenauer said later on in the meeting Aller would be at the city council’s reg-ular meeting on Monday, June 20 to formally intro-duce himself to the council members and to the citizens of the area.

Stough then turned the recommendation of Aller to the director’s position over to the city council for approval. Milner made a motion to confirm Aller to the position, with council member Mary Westphal seconding. The council then unanimously ap-proved the motion.

After the motion was ap-proved, the mayor thanked the council and the meeting was adjourned at 8:15 a.m.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS TORCH RUN

SYLVANIA FIREFIGHTERS BREAKFAST

Several members of Sylvania area Law Enforcement Agencies participated in the June 14 Special Olympics Torch Run .

Sylvania city and town-ship law enforcement offi-cers raised awareness, funds for Special Olympics Sum-mer Games

There were cheers and the sound of running feet as several Sylvania city and township law enforcement officers carried the “Flame of Hope” and stopped at the Sylvania Kroger stores on their way to Ohio Stadium at The Ohio State University to open the Special Olym-pics Summer Games. The officers visited the stores at 6235 Monroe St. and at 7545 Sylvania Ave. as the Torch Run kicked off on June 14.

Kroger is the Presenting Sponsor for the Torch Run, which is in its 25th year and generates awareness of and raises funds for Special Olympics Ohio. The run continues through June 24 when participating officers will meet at the State High-way Patrol Academy in Co-lumbus to travel together the final three miles to Ohio Sta-dium for the Summer Games Opening Ceremonies.

“The Torch Run has be-come a tradition in Ohio with officers paying tribute to the Special Olympics athletes and their accomplishments and determination,” said Bruce Macaulay, president, The Kroger Co., Columbus Division. “This year, more than two thousand officers are running or biking in the six main arteries and satel-

lite community runs that cel-ebrate the Summer Games.”

Officers representing every facet of law enforce-ment will carry the “Flame of Hope” through more than 150 communities, with the effort representing the larg-est grass roots fundraiser for Special Olympics Ohio. Main routes for the Torch Run originate in Athens, Ashtabula, Cleveland, Cin-cinnati, Marietta and Toledo as officers run and bike to-ward Columbus and Open-ing Ceremonies.

The Kroger Co. has served as the Presenting Sponsor for the Torch Run for the last five years. Par-ticipating officers will visit Kroger stores throughout the state in hopes of surpass-ing the more than $400,000 raised for Ohio Special Olympics last year. Officers’ fundraising efforts are year-round and include events such as Polar Bear Plunges, Building Sits and Plane Pulls.

Ohio Special Olym-pics’ Summer Games will attract more than 2,700 ath-letes competing in 11 sports: Aquatics, Track & Field, Bocce. Bowling, Cycling, Gymnastics, Power Lifting, Roller Skating, Soccer, Ten-nis and Volleyball.

THE SYLVANIA HERALD Page 5WEDNESDAY, June 22, 2011 COMMUNITY LIFE

Every now and then, I read of some wacky old law still on the books in a bus-tling city. Like “It is illegal to walk your pig across a bridge on Sunday.” That got me thinking about whether our city has such ordinances still laying around in dusty old record books.

So I checked the archives at the Sylvania Area Histori-cal Society, and was reward-ed with quite a few creative old laws.

In 1919, Sylvania citi-zens presented a petition to the Mayor and Council to repeal the ban on parking of vehicles on both sides of the street between Blank (now Maplewood) and Monroe Streets. They were seeking “safety to person and prop-erty, to save innocent parties from arrest and expense, and to gain good will of the pub-lic and strangers.”

1936 shows an ordinance regulating the use of bil-liard and pool tables, 9 and 10 pin alleys. They couldn’t be played between 1 and 7 pm, or before 1 pm on Sun-day. This did not affect those tables or alleys in people’s homes. Violators would pay a fine of $500.

An ordinance in 1920 created the office of Night Watchman for the Village of Sylvania. This person shall be on duty 10 pm to 6 am; the position paid $100 per month. Peddling in the streets and public places was banned in 1924, with no hawking or selling from place to place without a license. It cost $10 for a one day license. It was further ordained by Sylvania Village Council in 1930 that it was unlawful to maintain/operate an open air public dance floor or roller skating rink in Sylvania. .

And there’s more. In 1915, an ordinance was passed that all open air shows, tent shows, circuses, menageries and medicine shows cannot exhibit in Village of Sylva-

nia until the Mayor has is-sued a license of $5 per day, and $2.50 for each additional day.

I was wondering if any of these old laws still existed. It wasn’t an easy quest, as anyone versed in legalities knows. The City of Sylva-nia has a splendid website: www.cityofsylvania.com/ with lots of great info. And sure enough, there is a tab at the top labeled Ordinances. You can click on the various Codified Ordinances, and even search. I found, for example, a chapter on “Cir-cuses, Menageries, Carni-vals, Etc.”, number 711, and it clearly states that any such exhibition shall give at least one week’s notice in writing to the Mayor. Upon consent, a fee of $50 for the first day, and $25 for each additional day must be paid, not to ex-ceed $150 in one week. In addition, a bond of between $10 and $50 for cleanup must be made, returnable when the grounds were restored. So obviously, the old $5/$2.50 rate from 1915 has been up-dated.

The current city charter was updated in 1961, and our charming old ordinances were apparently relegated to dusty documents. With hun-dreds of pages of laws on the website, I didn’t relish the task of reading through them all. And anyway, they don’t show amendments replacing historic rulings. So we can assume we’re safe playing pool, parking on the street or dancing outside in Sylva-nia.

But just to be sure, you’d better obey the city night watchman, and don’t walk your pig across any bridges.

about yesterday

By Sheila Painter

The Reverend Robert Wilhelm, Moderator of the Christ Child Society of To-ledo (CCS), was the celebrant at the 20th annual Mass and Installation of Officers of the The Christ Child Society on Thursday May 19, 2011. The Mass took place at the beauti-ful Queen of Peace Chapel on the blooming spring grounds of Lourdes College Campus. The theme, “A Celebration of Service”, was very fitting for the end of an outstanding year of volunteer service for this very active and success-ful volunteer group.

The Christ Child Society of Toledo’s Spring Luncheon was held at The Inverness Club on Thursday, May 19th. At the luncheon, President Mary Murnen conducted the meeting and the installa-tion of officers. Officers for 2011-2012 are: President - Mary Murnen; Vice President - Cecile Bennett; Secretary - Carol Morava; Treasurer - Tootie Morrette and Parlia-mentarian - Lucy Abu-Absi.

The Barbara Sommer Me-morial Service Award was presented to new member Judy Keller, and the Red Wagon Award was given to Mary Lindquist in recogni-tion of her dedicated service to the community.

CCS members Jane Wurth of Ragazza and Sylvania and Candy Sturtz of Sylvania’s Lady C provided the beauti-ful spring fashions modeled by CCS members in the fash-ion show. Sandy Viviano of Bartz/Viviano donated the colorful and charming cen-terpieces, a delicate basket of violets.

Chairmen for the day Jan Purinton and Nancy Smythe provided a delightful and spiritual afternoon and both were honored as founding members, active for twenty years.

Ability Center Auxiliary Awards Scholarships

The Ability Center of

Greater Toledo awarded scholarships at their spring final luncheon. Claire Browning, President of the Ability Center Auxiliary in-troduced the scholarship re-cipients Joshua Goulet and Leisha Lininger.

They were each awarded a $2,000 scholarship. Scholar-ship chairman for the schol-arship committee Marsha Palmer indicated that their accomplishments were out-standing and both plan to fur-ther their education with the assistance from the Ability Center Auxiliary.

Fun, Volleyballs and In-spiration Served Up at Girls’ Morning out Event

Volleyballs were flying, girlfriends were running for chocolate and laughter was the tool that everyone used as they reverted back to grade school while they colored pictures. There were cheers as the awesome vendor prizes were given away and the la-dies did themselves proud as they shopped through the vendor hall and someone even won cash. That was just some of the fun and excite-ment at the 1st Girls Morn-ing Out event in Toledo, Ohio sponsored by Power of Girl-friends network.

In between the fun, attend-ees took part in two great ses-sions – ‘SHAZAAM!!! Your Life’ and ‘Communication Girlfriend Style’ led by na-tional motivational speaker and founder of the Power of Girlfriends Network, Jil-lian Kopanis of Sylvania. Over 50 girlfriends and 8 vendors filled the conference center area at the Hilton Gar-

den Inn. Power of Girlfriends Net-

work is an international net-work founded on the purpose of creating a network of girl-friends supporting each other through networking, resourc-es and fun. The network sponsors a monthly e-news-letter filled with motivational and inspirational articles and currently reaches over 2,300 girlfriends throughout the world with a base of 900 girl-friends in northwest Ohio and southeastern Michigan.

After a successful launch the Power of Girlfriends

I was pleased to attend the Safety City graduation of 180 Sylvania five-year-old children on Friday, June 17. This was Sylvania Safety City’s 26th year and more than 4,600 students have at-tended. Sylvania’s children are our most important as-set, and Sylvania’s version of Safety City helps to get them off to a safe start before they enter school.

The children attended either a morning or an after-noon class for four days at Central Elementary School.

Important topics covered included:

*Memorization of Name, Address and Telephone Num-ber

*Classroom Skills*Safely Crossing the

Street*Traffic Signs and Sig-

nals*Seat Belt Safety*Fire Prevention*Stop, Drop and Roll*Stranger Danger*School Bus Safety and

going for a short School Bus ride.

*Bicycle Safety includ-ing always wearing a helmet

*Railroad Crossings*Safety Around Animals*Medical Emergencies

and Ambulances*Hospitals

A neighborhood of streets, sidewalks, signs, crosswalks, lights, etc. is set up to help practice safety. The children get to meet police officers, firefighters and other emer-gency personnel and learn those people are their friends and want to help them.

Thank you to all who help to make Safety City a great experience for our chil-dren, including all the teach-ers, police officers, firefight-ers and other personnel and volunteers who helped out. Also, our thanks to Flower Hospital, the Lucas County Dog Warden, Norfolk-South-ern RR/Operation Lifesaver, Allied Waste, the Sylvania Township Fire Department, and Sylvania Schools for their assistance. Sylvania Safety City 2011 was a great success because of all of you. And thank you to all the par-

ents for entrusting your chil-dren to us and for supporting the program and attending the graduation ceremony.

Incidentally, another great program of the Sylvania Police Division is the Child Safety Seat program. Police officers Dani Miller and Stacy Pack have trained to become Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians. Since the program started in 2001 with the help of Dave White Chev-rolet, they have checked or in-stalled over 2000 child safety seats at a variety of events around town resulting in over 150 unsafe child seats being turned in and replaced at cost. If you would like to have a Child Safety Seat checked, please call the City of Sylva-nia Police at (419)885-8902 to set up an appointment, or look for them at upcoming community events.

To the Editor:In response to the letter received from Ogden Township

Supervisor Jim Goetz and Township Clerk Phyllis Gentz- You said you have served

for a combined total of 30 years and I say, “Time for change!”First of all, I would like to say that no one is banning your

rights to do what you want with your property. We all have the right to use our property as we wish, which is why we are speaking out. We are fighting for our rights to keep our property as enjoyable as it is today. You speak of the future of Ogden Township and protecting Lenawee County’s productive farmland, how does bringing an industrial wind farm protecting our future or our farmland? My future is protecting my home’s value, the land surrounding it, and my quality of life.

Secondly, it has been proven that the tax dollars are not enough to considerably benefit the community nor do these wind companies provide jobs for local individuals, despite what they promise. Our community is already divided by the proposal of wind turbines, a successful recall will not divide the community any further. If you had thoroughly done your research, you would know that by signing a lease you would potentially risk your positions on the township board. This has happened in many other communities facing these hard deci-sions, and I’m sure we won’t be the last. Yes, Ogden Township does not have zoning laws or an ordinance. How can we get a fair ordinance put into place when two people refuse to listen to the concerns of others in the community who have not signed a lease? We are protecting our rights to live peacefully without 500 ft. wind turbines in close proximity to our homes, please understand that.

Your letter is very one sided and you seem to be all about yourselves and what you want. It’s sad how greed can make you forget your long term friends and neighbors. It also ap-pears this letter went out with the presumption that you have nothing to lose, because you have already lost. How would you lose if we are only “a small group of individuals”, “handful of people”, “wind opponents”, “vocal minority” and “a small band of people”? Funny, now who is attacking who?

In conclusion, “Let’s really fight for the future of our com-munity!” Everyone, Please show up to your township meetings, even if it’s just to show your face. We only have one chance to make a difference. If you love living here, do something to show your support! Please vote “YES” on August 2nd.

Signed,Olivia Randall

The Southview Lady Cougars softball team bid farewell to their four seniors dur-ing the team’s award banquet that was held June 16 at the Sylvania Senior Center. As Olivia O’Reilly, Emily Estrich, Tejal Parikh, and Kara Kruse move on to the next stages of their lives they do so with the satisfaction of knowing that their final year on the softball diamond was one for the record books.

Southview capped off a highly success-ful 21-6 season by reaching the state Division I regional finals for the second time in school history. The Lady Cougars were denied a first-ever trip to the state final four after suf-fering a 7-4 loss to two-time state champion Elyria (24-5), a perennial softball power that finished the season ranked second in the Ohio coaches poll.

Ironically, it was the same Elyria team that knocked off the Lady Cougars in 2002 in their first appearance in a regional final. That year Elyria went on to capture their first state championship.

Southview captured it’s first district title in nine years by defeating Central Catho-lic 2-0 in a game that was dominated by two of the areas best pitchers: Erin Seiler of Cen-tral Catholic and O’Reilly.

The Lady Cougars got rolling in the state playoffs with key victories against elite To-ledo City League teams St. Ursula, Clay, and Central Catholic in succession before drop-ping Northern Lake League conference foe Bowling Green in the regional semi-finals. Southview was also victorious in their two regular season match-ups against BG.

Head Coached Jim Zoltowski repeatedly drilled into his team throughout their playoff run that in order for the Cougars to make it to Akron to play for the coveted state cham-pionship trophy that they would have to win five very difficult games against tough teams that were just as hungry for as they were. Unfortunately, the Lady Cougars came up one game short of the goal. However, Zol-towski will use the success of this season to continue to build the softball program at Southview with his eye on reaching the state playoffs.

For O’Reilly the end of the season means that she will be trading in her orange and brown Southview uniform for the scarlet and gray colors of Ohio State. She has verbally committed to playing for the Buckeyes and will join the team as a preferred walk-on in the fall.

The ace pitcher, who posted a 13-2 re-cord, closed out her prestigious prep career by being named to the OHSAA Division I All-Ohio first team.

Our Daily Bread Community Dinner Is Hosted Every Wednesday Night At Olivet Lutheran Church, Sylvania

These volunteers and members of Olivet Lutheran Church, 5840 Monroe St., Sylvania, served an estimated crowd of from 75 to 100 diners for the church’s weekly Community Dinner hosted in the church’s Christian Life Center. The church invites all community members to visit the church for the free meal. It is a great place for food, faith and fellow-ship. There also is a food bank opportunity the afternoons before the dinners at the church. Pictured here are, left to right, Fred Sandmann, Donna Reynolds, Cynthia Fett, JoAnne Johnson, Julie Heath, Holly Lewandowski and Barb Stough. This group was working kitch-en detail at the June 15 dinner.

Wright was busy keeping up with the estimated 100 diners that evening. The group included area families, church members, and a few folks who use the evening as their evening out to be around people.

Margaret Fisher, 70, of Dundee, Mich., made blankets for all of the volunteers serving at “The Daily Bread” Community Dinner hosted by Olivet Lutheran Church June 15. Fisher, who enjoys the dinners to meet new people and make new friends, said she used birthday money from her family to pay for the supplies to make the blankets. “I just wanted to thank these volunteers for all they do for us,” Fisher said.

Jim Walrod, National Account Team Leader for The Image Group, has been named one of the marketing industry’s Rising Stars by PPB Magazine, the national journal of the Promotional Products Association International (PPAI). Walrod, along with 11 other professionals from around the country, was selected for embodying “the characteristics of talent, ambition, persistence, leadership, originality, and an optimistic sense for what’s yet to come.” Award recipients are nominated by their industry peers and chosen by PPB’s in-house panel. This year’s winners have demonstrated an impressive array of accomplishments, along with strong initiative, high energy, creativity, and community commitment. Walrod joined The Image Group in 2005 immediately after graduating from Siena Heights University. His energetic approach to prospecting has consistently earned him honors as one of the company’s top sales

people. He became National Account Team Leader earlier this year. “Jim is committed to being the best at whatever he does,” says Jon Levine, president of The Image Group. “Whether he is developing business for our company, or volunteering his leadership skills in the community, he’s going to give his all.” Walrod is an active community leader, serving on the boards of United Way of Greater Toledo and Leadership Toledo, and as vice chair of operations for the 2011 U.S. Senior Open. He is a past chair of EPIC Toledo, and a former board member of Junior Achievement of Northwest Ohio. “Phrases such as ‘the client comes first’ and ‘whatever it takes’ are more than just clichés to me,” explains Walrod. “They serve as my guiding principles. This award reaffirms that those concepts are valid keys to success.” Walrod and his wife, Erin, live in West Toledo with their two-year-old daughter and two dogs.
