One hundred years ago,Stevens Warren Flower had

In 1910, hedonated $20,000 to build a28-bed hospital at the cor-ner of Collingwood Bou-levard and Cherry Streetin downtown Toledo. In1975, Flower Hospitalrelocated to Sylvania. To-day, the 292-bed hospitalprovides a full spectrumof care, including a levelIII trauma center, inpatientrehabilitation services andsurgical services.

In more than threedecades of community ser-vice to the City of Sylvania,Dr. Reid Backus has read

plenty of Meeting Agendas.But the one that might stickin his mind is the Agendafor the Sylvania MunicipalPlanning Committee dated

April 14. On that agenda,he read his own name, andlearned that the City Council

planned to name the newtrain car barn at the SylvaniaHistorical Village in hishonor.

Ive always been inter-ested in trains, he said, butI had no idea this was being

planned!Backus and his family

and Sylvania ofcials werepresent for the ribbon cuttingon Oct. 4. The walls of the50-foot long, 36-foot wide

building are decorated witha series of photos that tell

the story of the railroad inSylvania, as well as maps of

the areas served by the rail-road. The building itself willhouse a 1915 electric loco-motive and a 1924 caboose.

The plaque that Backusreceived in thanksgiving forhis 36 years on the SylvaniaCity Council will also hangon the wall of the new car

barn.Stough explained that

the City names things afterspecial people, includingJudy Young Way (near

Northview High School)

named for the rst femaleCity Councilwoman, andJames Seney Park (at the

junction of Alexis Roadand Monroe Street), named

for the former Mayor. Hethanked Backus for his yearson Council and noted thatimprovements in the com-munity have been the resultof Backus vision, saying,Many part-time electedofficials are politicianswho make career decisions.Representatives like Backusmake decisions for the peo-

ple they represent, and wethank him for that.

Backus thanked theMayor for the honor, andcommented, It is amaz-ing to see how things havechanged in the years Ive

been on the Council.Plaques on the walls of the

barn explain the history ofthe two train cars. They were

part of the Toledo, Angolaand Western Railroad, aninterurban electric line thatran from the Toledo citylimits (at Sylvania andMartha Avenues) out toSylvania, and then as farwest as Pioneer, OH. Thecitizens of Sylvania, at thattime 700 people, raised the

money to buy property at thecurrent Sautters Market sitefor a railway yard and pow-erhouse. The locomotive

was built in 1915, and its 63tons pulled passenger carsuntil the mid-1930s. The

bankrupt line was purchased by Toledo Edison in 1939

to provide right of way forelectric transmissions, andwas retired in the 1980s.

Local historian FredFolger was present to delivera history of the Toledo andWestern Railroad. He spokeof the importance of theinterurban railroad system,noting, It allowed peoplewho lived out on the farmsto go into the city. It allowedfarmers to send their food tomarket, too. You could takea train ride to Pioneer, Ohioin two hours for $1.50.

Plaques in the buildingnote that, T& W was thelargest freight-hauling inter-urban line in Ohio, butFolger noted that the devel-opment of the automobilespelled the end of the railline. He called attention tothe plaques note, As thecondition of the tracks dete-riorated in the 1920s, theT&W Railway was describedas Tired and Weary andTeeter and Wobble.

A small reception fol-lowed the dedication.

Dr. Backus honored with car barn dedication

It was a wonderful

day and we were de-

lighted to see so many

people come out to

help us celebrate this

major milestone,

Visitors to the LourdesCollege campus on Wednesday,Oct. 6, might have wonderedif the school had gone tothe dogs or the cats. Thats because there were plenty ofcanine and feline visitors onhand for the Blessing of theAnimals ceremony organized by the students at SylvaniaFranciscan Academy. The stu-dents brought their pets to be part of the annual ceremony,held to commemorate the loveSt. Francis of Assisi had for allliving creatures, and to recallthe Saints birthday in earlyOctober.

Deacon Tom Sheehan ledthe activities, and seventh-gradestudents read from the Canticleof the Sun prayer attributed toSt. Francis. The children of theschool stood with their petsas the Deacon sprinkled themwith holy water. Dogs, cats,birds, rabbits, a ferret, and evensome earthworms and hermit

crabs were blessed, then sat

patiently while their owners joined their fellow students, parents, and special guests topray the Prayer of St. Francis

and sing.

The event has been partof the Sylvania FranciscanAcademy schedule for morethan a dozen years.

It has always beenknown that trees absorbcarbon dioxide while giv-ing off life supporting oxy-gen.

Lately more researchhas concluded that astrees grow larger they alsolive longer and obviouslysequester more CO2 overtime. When planting trees,selection of the larger grow-ing varieties, and consider-ation for planting the larg-est that one can afford, will

provide a greater return onyour investment.

Larger trees provide

greater returns in terms ofshade and cooling devices,retaining storm water, andcleaning the air we breath.For instance, a recentreport from Washington,D.C. stated that a large30-inch diameter treewill sequester 90 poundsof carbon each year andremove over 3 pounds ofother pollutants. By com-

parison a 6-9 inch diametertree will sequester only 12

pounds of carbon and .3pounds of other pollutants.As trees grow larger and

healthier they will gener-ally add more resale valueto your property. From alandscape point of view

small trees certainly havetheir place too.

Our City of Sylvaniatree inventory indicatesthat about 17 percent ofour tree inventory is com-

posed of the larger diam-eter trees which adds up to

867 trees. Therefore in ourcity, our street trees alonesequester 78,030 poundsof CO2 and clean the air of

2,601 pounds of other pol-lutants. The large trees inour parks and other publiclands as well as the treeson private properties can

possibly double those fg-ures.

So taking care of our

large trees is a must, and planting more trees is agood idea for everyoneswell being.

Trees can cancel out your carbon footprint

As the November elec-tions draw near, organiza-tions trying to pass leviesare pushing for Sylvaniaresidents to check yes onthe ballot. Some levies such

as the Sylvania Schoolsand Senior Center levies,if passed, will affect thedaily life of many Sylvaniaresidents. Here is a look atthe two most-talked aboutlevies and what they mean

for Sylvania.Issue 3 is a proposed tax

levy by Sylvania Schoolsasking residents to pass a$4.9 million dollar operat-ing levy that would pre-serve the quality of theeducational experience forstudents, said Sylvania

Schools SuperintendentBrad Rieger in a recentstatement posted on theSylvania Schools web-site and in a newslettermailed to all members ofthe Sylvania Schools com-

munity. This tax wouldcommence in 2010, andwould begin to affect hom-eowners in Sylvania andSylvania Township comeJanuary 2011. The cost fora homeowner of a $100,000house in the district wouldbe approximately $150 per

year.The money would be

used for curriculum mate-rials, textbooks, technol-ogy equipment, personnelcosts, supplies, and utili-ties, said Rieger

The school district isfacing a $9 million de-cit in June 2012. Due tothis decit, the school dis-trict is making budget cutsin the areas of personnel,curriculum, technology,professional development,and building/departmentaccounts. Forty-ve posi-tions have thus far been

eliminated to cut costs.Failure to pass the oper-

ating levy in November willresult in further across-the-board reductions in pro-grams and services, saidRieger.

Issue 11 calls for a pro-posed tax renewal for theoperation of the SylvaniaSenior Center. This renew-al tax would commencein 2010, and would beginto affect homeowners inSylvania and SylvaniaTownship come January2011. The cost to ownersof a $100,000 home would

be around $9.80 a year.The Senior Center citesthe revenue from the taxas comprising 69 percentof funding. The fundswould be used to sup-port the continuation ofbasic services and wouldnot be used for addition-al programs or staff. TheSenior Center was recent-ly accredited through theNational Institute of SeniorCenters.

A water rate hike was dis-cussed at the recent City Councilmeeting. The rates would increaseto help offset the cost of buildinga new water reserve tank in thearea.

Already existing funds,

according to council memberMike Brown, arent going to beenough to help build the tower.Although Brown seemed reluctantto issue a motion to take a voteon rate increases, he also stressedthat every avenue was explored interms of curbing costs and that itwas detrimental that Sylvania goahead with this new water tank

project.Brown said that he had heard

from multiple sources in the waterdepartment that at one point inthe recent past, the water reservesfor the area were down to vefeet of water. This level, accord-ing to him, is basically a criticalstate. If the water would go anyfurther than that, it would possiblydiminish the pressure necessaryfor re hydrants to be consid-ered fully functional during a reemergency.

In a previous Utilities andEnvironment committee meeting,Brown said that talks of raisingthe rates were considered then andthat we just couldnt pull this out

of the general fund.If we have to delay other

projects to get this project com- pleted I would recommend thatwe do that, Brown said.

We did apply for a grant lastyear, Mayor Craig R. Stoughsaid. But we werent highenough in the rankings to receivethe grant. Mayor Stough also

said that another grant will besubmitted in the near future. Thenew submission will be asking for$487,000.

Service director JefferyBallmer said that one of the rea-sons for the water rate hike isthat if Sylvania raises their ratesaccording to the tenants and stipu-lations of this new grant for whichthey are applying, they get extra

points in their favor and theirchances of receiving the grant

becomes better.Im very concerned about

adding costs to our rate payers,council member Mark Luetkesaid. Luetke also said that hedidnt want the council to get intoa position where they absolutelyhad to raise the rates even if thehikes werent needed.

Im also very concernedabout rate increases, Brown said.But what also concerns me is notacting on this. This is a projectthat shouldve been done ten yearsago.

I dont consider this an iron-

clad commitment, Mayor Stoughsaid, concerning the resolution toconsider the water rate increases.And were not going to raise therates until we know what the con-tractual cost to build [the tower] isgoing to be.

When information comesback to the council as to whetherthey did or did not receive any

additional funding, they will thenknow how much the rate increaseswill be. The vote to consider waterrate hikes was unanimous.

Also that night, Laura Doschmade an appearance and it would

be needless to say that she is excit-ed about her new job in Sylvania.I feel like a kid in a candy shop,she said.

Dosch, who is the newAssistant Vice President of theMain Street Key Bank branch,made an appearance at theSylvania City Council meetingheld on Oct. 4. She was there,mainly, to explain to the city coun-cil, and the citizens in attendance,that she was glad to be working inSylvania and that she was look-ing forward to helping out in thecommunity.

Ive been banking 22 years,she said. Im excited to be here.

I think its terric that youtook time to come to our councilmeeting and introduce yourself,Mayor Stough said. Thats a ter-ric start.

Water rates discussed at Council meeting

It came as a shock to at leastone member on the township

board, namely Carol Contrada.On Monday, Oct. 4, Sylvania

Township Fire Chief Fred Welshtendered his resignation afterthree years of service. His state-ment was brief, his words few,and his tone plain and straightforward.

The reasons for my resigna-tion are personal reasons, ChiefWelsh told the board. After thishe informed them that a formalletter of resignation would beforthcoming and would reach the

board in a matter of days.Having worked with you

from the beginning of your timehere in Sylvania Township, youcame here under extraordinarilychallenging circumstances,Township Trustee Mrs. Contrada

said. We had a levy failure, shesaid referencing the dire straitsthat the re department was inover three years ago. We werestruggling to make ends meet.We were redening who we wereas a department and as a commit-tee. While its gotten easier, itsnot gotten easy.

Although Welshs leave of

his position wont ofcially takeplace until the end of December,he has decided to use vacationthat had been accrued during histenure and will not return to his

job for the remainder of 2010.Assistant re chief Jeff Kowalskihas been made acting re chief inlight of Welshs resignation.

Its with the deepest regretthat I hear this, she said. Thankyou for everything youve done.Thank you from the board, fromthe community. Mrs. Contradathen paused. She was chokingup, she said.

Although Welshs ofcialexplanation for his departure waspersonal reasons, according to

FOX Toledo News, Townshiptrustee Kevin Haddad [said] thetownship board had just giventhe re chief a directive for somemanagement changes at the redept. Haddad believes Welshsresignation is due to the two sidesheading in different directions.Former Chief Welsh made noindication of this during his

departing speech. He did, how-ever, offer good spirits to everyone of his former co-workers.

I wish all the reghters, the board of trustees, and the town-ship the best in their future, hetold the board.

Welsh began his service asa re ghter in his home stateof Pennsylvania in 1974. Fromthere he served on departmentsin Maryland, Virginia, Texas,the San Francisco Bay area, andeven overseas for Chevron in a

petroleum renery station in theSoviet Union. Aside from reghting, Welsh also taught FireScience courses at the Universityof the District of Columbia in thelate 90s.

Since taking over as town-ship re chief on Oct. 1, 2007(almost three years to the day

before his resignation), Welshstrived to make the re depart-ments image more community

friendly. In a greeting on thetownships website, Welsh said,The Sylvania Township FireDepartment strives to be a dedi-cated and proactive communityorganization by providing resafety and educational presenta-tions, conducting re inspectionsand participating in communityevents. In providing these servic-es, the re department increasesthe overall safety of our com-munity by pinpointing potentialhazards or areas of concern andtraining residents how to proper-ly respond to emergencies whenthey occur.

During Welshs tenure thetownship re department grew

from 40 full time employeesto 57 full time employees, andnumerous part time employees.Budgets were also reorganizedto compensate for a saggingeconomy.

bring positive results intoyour life.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)This is an important

week to network withpeople in your communityand it may also help yourcareer. This doesnt needto be done overtly likeat some cocktail socialhour. Just be yourself.People nd it refreshingwhen they meet someoneauthentic.

to take a deeper lookat your life. Everythingseems to be coming at youall at the same time, andyou feel overwhelmed bythe demands at home andwork. Do what needs to

be done, set aside time foryourself and set boundar-ies for the rest.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)Happiness comes into

your life when you stop

repeating emotionallydraining cycles. Accept thefact that you cant x orcontrol everything. Whenyou release this desire todo so, you open yourselfto a world without limita-tions and one that ener-gizes you.

Leo (July 23-August22)

Look at your life thisweek and make a com-

mitment to change thethings you feel are block-ing your progress. Thereason you have beenstuck in a repeating cycleis because you have beenignoring your feelings.Acknowledging them willchange the energy.

Virgo (August23-September 22)

This is a good weekto communicate your feel-ings to your partner. Itstime to release the thingsyou have been hold-ing and when you do itwill strengthen the bond

between you. If you aresingle, open with someoneyou feel connected to andwatch what happens.

Libra (September23-October 22)

People will frustrateyou this week becausethey will intentionallyleave you out of important

projects. Although, yournatural tendency is to takethis rejection personally,understand that some peo-

ple are simply intimidated by your intelligence andhonesty.

Aquarius (January20-February 18)

Children will serveas a role model for youthis week. Allow yourselfto be playful and take a

break from your logicalthinking mind. You havea powerful imagination sodont put limitations on it
