Windhaven eldercare center sponsored a luncheon in honor of cody Kleiber, 20, one of the soldiers sponsored by Windhaven veterans, staff and family members. WWII and Korean War veterans at Windhaven have been writing letters weekly to soldiers. There have been numerous donations that have been included in care packages sent to troops. These items include sunscreens, arti-ficial tears, toothpaste, shaving gels and lotions.

Kleiber stated that there are 50 people in his platoon and there is no thanks big enough for the care packages and greetings from home.

“There is nothing like a letter or package at mail call,” he said.

At the luncheon, there were heart-felt emotions expressed from the veterans to Kleiber. James Trabbic, a WWII veteran, thanked Kleiber for serving his country and preserving his free-dom. The humility of these vet-erans brings tears to many eyes at Windhaven.

Kleiber is a 2008 bedford High School graduate. He enlist-ed right out of high school and is assigned to an aviation support unit in Afghanistan.

He returned to Afghanistan on Nov. 27. The Windhaven family wishes him a safe return and a safe return back home.

Windhaven eldercare center is a Veterans’ First community. You need not be a veteran to reside at Windhaven, however there is special funding available for veterans and Windhaven offers the Honor and Pride Program. This additional sav-ings is Windhaven’s way of say-ing “Thank You” for serving our country.

For further information regarding donations for needed items for our troops or the above mentioned programs, please call cynthia mcIlvain at 734-847-4096 or 419-720-0096.

Veterans honored at Windhaven

St. bonaventure se-nior defender Kevin Okapal has been named to the eSPN Academic District 1 First Team, as announced by the col-lege Sports Information Directors of America (coSIDA).

Okapal was just one of 13 Division I men’s soccer players selected to the District 1 First Team, which covers all of the Northeast.

Nominees must be a starter or important re-serve with at least a 3.3 GPA and have achieved both on the field and in the classroom.

“I am very honored to be named to the eSPN Academic All-District First Team,” Okapal said. “I have put in a lot of work over the last few years, and it is very nice to be recognized for the effort.

“Head coach mel mahler has been very understanding of my sit-uation as a biology ma-jor throughout my time at St. bonaventure and allowed me to make sure that I have put academ-ics first. I hope to have set a good example for the freshmen and showed them that hard work will be rewarded in the fu-

ture.”Over the course of his

career, Okapal, who car-ries a 3.8 GPA and is a member of Phi eta Sig-ma National Honor So-ciety, has started 64 con-secutive games and been named to the Atlantic 10 Academic All confer-ence Team twice.

Okapal, a product of Sylvania, has already been accepted to the School of medicine and Health Sciences at The George Washington University. He has also been a key cog in St. bonaventure’s defensive

line which has shut out five opponents this sea-son, and 17 over his time in the brown and White.

“I’m extremely hap-py for Kevin,” mahler said of Okapal. “This is a well-deserved honor. For the past four years, Kevin has been a role model to his teammates as to what a student-athlete should be. He has competed very success-fully at the highest colle-giate level, and excelled in the classroom. He has been instrumental in our success, and quite frank-ly, he’s the best marking defender in the A-10.

“What he has accom-plished on and off the field is not an easy task for any athlete, and more so for students pursuing a degree in the medi-cal profession. The time dedicated not just to his work in the classroom, but to the laboratory can be overwhelming. How Kevin has been able to balance his academic and athletic endeavors speaks to his understanding of commitment, responsi-bility and willingness to make sacrifices. Our pro-gram is far better today because of young men like Kevin. He leaves us for George Washington medical school where he will continue to do great things.”

Kevin Okapal’s coach, Mel Mahler, called him “the best marking defend-er in the A-10.”

Okapal named to eSPN Academic All-District First Team michael Stebing moved

to Farmington Hills, mI, in 1995 and started his scout-ing career in cub Scout Pack 179 as a Tiger cub. He was one of eight cub scouts in his den and participated in the rain Gutter regatta, Pinewood Derby, and cub Scout Summer camp each year. michael attended Troop 179’s Webelosfest, where his brother was a boy scout in Troop 179. michael earned the Arrow of Light Award, the highest honor in cub scouts.

He crossed over with six others fellow scouts in his den at a ceremony at Heritage Park. He always enjoyed being outside and camping with his family; so joining boy Scouts was an easy deci-sion. He started in the eagler Patrol as the Quartermaster and stayed in the patrol until it merged with the beaver Patrol. michael then moved up to the Axe-men patrol where he held the position of Instructor.

After the Axe-men patrol, he served as Troop Quartermaster for one full year. He was then appointed to the position of Assistant Senior Patrol Leader for the New Scout Program. Since ending his term as an ASPL, he has been a member of the Venture crew.

While in scouts, michael attended boy Scout Summer camp for six years. His boy Scout High Adventure trips included learning to sail in the bahamas in 2006 at the boy Scout Sea base; in 2007 backpacking the Appalachian Trail in the

Great Smoky mountains; in 2008 backpacking 100 miles at Philmont Scout ranch with crew 723Y, climbing both mt. baldy and the Tooth of Time. In June of 2009, michael sailed with Troop 179 scouts from Lake St. clair to the Lake erie Islands and back.

michael moved to Sylvania, OH, with his par-ents in 2002 when his father was transferred but contin-ued to attend Troop 179 meetings, commuting more than 70 miles to meetings each week for the last eight years. He participated in numerous school and com-munity activities since he was very young. He has been in theater since he was six, and has had roles in many plays including romeo & Juliet, Gypsy, West Side Story, Diary of Anne Frank, The Odd couple, Sussical, Thoroghly modern mille and mid Summer Nights

Dream. michael was a four year member in Northview choir earning his Varsity let-ter, and was President of the Symphonic choir his Senior year. He graduated from Northview High School this last June. He has written and directed several “One Act Plays” at school and also cre-ated a weekly internet pod-cast which reviewed newly released movies. He has worked part-time at a Senior citizens retirement home for the last two years.

michael’s eagle Scout Project included building a children’s playground for his church “crossroads” in Ottawa Lake, mI. The proj-ect included laying a 50’ brick sidewalk, building 150’ of wooden fencing, build-ing a wooden swing set, and building 2 picnic tables. He enlisted scouts, friends, church members, neigh-bors, and local contractors to accomplish his project.

michael is a freshman at bowling Green State University. He is cur-rently pursuing a degree in communication or broadcasting. He is already working at the local radio station as a late night inter-viewer.

michael wanted to thank the following for their sup-port on his project: bSA Troop 179, friends, family, countryside Landscaping, crossroads community church, Sylvania Dept of Forestry, Toledo Parks & recreation, Lowes of Adrian, buck & Knobby equipment, Don Weber and Fike’s Farm Inc.

Michael’s Eagle Scout Project included building a children’s playground for his church “Crossroads” in Ottawa Lake, MI.

HotGlass 2010 benefits Art Commission of Greater ToledoThe 2010 HotGlass Art

Exhibition and Auction was held on Nov. 12 in the Toledo Edison Gallery. It is one of the country’s premier exhibitions and the auc-tion this year featured over 90 national and international artist participants.

Chairmen were Diane Phillips, Gail Zimmerman and Robert Zollweg. Honorary chairmen were Al Stroucken – CEO, Owens-Illinois and Arts Patron Mary Wolfe. The Honorary Artistic Chair was Tom McGlauchin who participated in the first 1962 glass workshop at the Toledo Museum of Art.

A fabulous silent auction greeted guests. Most mingled and enjoyed the buffet dinner while waiting for the fabulous live auction. Chrys Peterson, WTOL-11 anchor, was master of ceremonies and fellow anchor Jerry Anderson kept the auction lively and fun. Kelly Sheehan, an accomplished glass artist, assisted Jerry with descriptions and com-mentary. A delightful dessert and coffee reception closed out the

evening’s festivities.The unique thing about

this auction is that the Arts Commission does pay artists for their creations and many of those artists do make a generous con-tribution to the organization. The funds raised from this event goes to fund the many programs spon-sored by the Arts Commission.

The organization is blessed with many corporate and indi-vidual sponsors who have given their resources to make this event successful. A special thanks was extended to GEM Inc. and the Rudolph/Libbe Companies, The Toledo Blade, Toledo.com, Adrian Acebedo and Barbara Chappell, HCR ManorCare, Health Care REIT, Claire and Allan Kirsner,

Kingston Healthcare Company, Margy and Scott Trumbull, Buckeye CableSystem, The Perfect Measuring Tape, Hanson, Inc., Mansour Wealth Management, KeyBank, Bob and Gail Zimmerman, Meg Ressner and William and Sara Jane DeHoff for their generosity.

Fashion goes to the dogsThe fall/winter fashion season

is winding down but not with-out the Auxiliary to the Toledo

Animal Shelter hosting an after-noon of fashion fun in partner-ship with Assistance Dogs of Northwest Ohio. Over 150 people attended the fashion gala held at Inverness Country Club.

Silent auction baskets were plentiful and each has a fun theme pet theme. Bidding sure was fast and furious; several were scooped up immediately. The delicious

salad luncheon and ice cream dessert was perfect.

Chairman Joni Fought and her able committee planned a first class event. The fashion pre-view was presented by Elegant Rags. Judy Hart brought out the best of seasonal favorites and some show stoppers; all very affordable. The audience loved the accompaniment of several of the looks with assistance dogs. They stole the show and, accord-ing to Executive Director Jan Fought Brown from Assistance Dogs, the dogs are so useful to those who could not be mobile without help.

The event was very success-

ful and the generosity of so many helped to support two amazing organizations. Guest includ-ed Linda Tary, Sandra Seiple, Pat Hunter, Judy DeVilbiss, Audrey Sanchez, Peg Werner, Jackie Rousseau Werner, Joanie Barrett, Barbara Brown, Nancy Ligibel, Sharon Simmons, Pat Osborn, Mary Pat Anderson, Kate Nameche-Adams and Grace Christopher.

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

The Board of Park Commissioners for The Olander Park System (TOPS) commemo-rated a significant Sylvan Prairie Park milestone on Monday, Nov. 22, when they burned the original 2003 mortgage that initiated the site.

Park System Commissioners Gail Abood, Harold C. McElmurry and John C. Zeitler first approved the founding of what ultimate-ly became the 150-acre Sylvan Prairie Park at 8601 Brint Rd. when they authorized acquiring 60 acres in April of 2003. Local residential developers donated 14 acres and the park system purchased the rest via a 7-year, $1.4-million Huntington Bank

loan. TOPS completed payments earlier this year and received its closing paperwork several weeks ago, leading Park Commissioners Abood, McElmurry, and Zeitler to ceremoniously burn the mort-gage.

The Park Commissioners oversaw a significant Sylvan Prairie expansion in late 2009 when they purchased an addi-tional 51.5 acres. TOPS raised more than $495,000 in outside funds for the property, 57 per-cent of the price, and banked a significant portion last month when it received $425,390 from the Clean Ohio Fund for the new parcel.

The park system added the

eastern 38 acres in 2006 at no cost through a conservation easement.

TOPS Commissioners first opened Sylvan Prairie Park in conjunction with the Quarry Ridge Bike Trail on Oct. 22, 2006. The former farm field and failed golf course is now a restored meadow with a playground, entry road, and two parking lots in addition to the bike trail that connects Sylvan Prairie to Timberstone Junior High School, Fossil Park, Centennial Quarry and Terrace, and Pacesetter Park.

Future improvements include a greenhouse, sledding hill, wet-land restoration, telescope center for astronomy programs, and per-manent restroom.

Alexander R. Box has grad-uated from the Army ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) Leader Development and Assessment Course, also known as “Operation Warrior Forge,” at Fort Lewis, Tacoma, WA.

The 32 days of training provide the best possible professional training and evaluation for all cadets in the aspects of military life, administration and logistical support. Although continued military training and leader-ship development is included in the curriculum, the pri-mary focus of the course is to develop and evaluate each cadet’s officer potential as a leader by exercising the cadet’s intelligence, common sense, ingenuity and physical stamina. The cadet command assesses each cadet’s perfor-mance and progress in officer traits, qualities and profes-sionalism while attending the course.

Cadets in their junior and senior year of college must complete the leadership development course. Upon successful completion of the course, the ROTC program, and graduation from college, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army, National Guard, or Reserve.

He is the son of Robert B. Box of Maple Drive, Sylvania. Box is a 2007 graduate of Sylvania High School.

Effective Jan. 1, 2011, ProMedica Health System will implement the prac-tice of hiring only tobac-co-free employees in order to foster a healthier work-force, as well as to dem-onstrate to patients and the community its strong commitment to health and wellness.

ProMedica’s new job application will ask candi-dates about their tobacco use. If they declare they do not use tobacco but their post-offer screening is positive, they will not be

hired. Applicants who de-clare tobacco use, as well as those who do not pass the screening, may reap-ply for a position after 90 days.

States Randy Oostra, DM, FACHE, president and chief executive offi-cer, ProMedica, “We are proud to be among the first employers in our region to implement this practice; other large healthcare systems throughout the U.S. have implemented similar policies success-fully. This decision sup-

ports ProMedica’s com-mitment to improving the health of those we serve by asking our employees to model and benefit from the healthy behaviors we promote to our patients and communities.”

ProMedica’s new to-bacco-free hiring practice also is aligned with the nonprofit organization’s other efforts to support good health among its em-ployees, including ongo-ing ProMedica Employee Wellness Program activi-ties, expanded healthy food

options in all of its hospi-tal cafeterias and vend-ing machines, and benefit incentives for employees’ participation in specified wellness activities.

ProMedica offers its employees and the pub-lic free tobacco cessation resources, and urges in-dividuals who choose to quit tobacco use to partner with their physician to de-termine which treatment option may work best for them.

December 22nd.

By Mike McHoneHerald Writer

Two new members of the Sylvania Township Fire Department were introduced to the township and the Board of Trustees at the most recent board meeting held on Tuesday, Nov. 16.

Firefighter Jason Hostler was born and raised in Toledo and attended St. Francis de Sales High School. He also attended Lourdes College and the University of Toledo where, accord-ing to Assistant Fire Chief Jeffery Kowalski, he received his paramedic certificate eight years ago.

Hostler is married to his wife Gina and has three children. According to Chief Kowalski, working on the Sylvania Township Fire Department has been a longtime goal for Hostler.

Firefighter Ryan Sedlock was, like Hostler, born and raised in Toledo. He is also a graduate of Whitmer High School and attended the University of Toledo and Medical College of Ohio where he received his paramedic certification five years ago. In attendance that night to support him were his mother, father, and grand-mother.

“We would like to wel-come Ryan and his fam-

ily to our family,” Chief Kowlaski said.

After the formal intro-ductions to the board, Chief Kowalski presented plaques that stated that both men completed their introductory training for the department at the fire recruit school on Nov. 3. The Chief went on to thank the board for allowing the introductions to take place and wished the new men a long and safe career in Sylvania Township.

Board Trustee Carol Contrada also welcomed the men to the department, calling the work of a fire-fighter “a wonderful and noble career.”

“We’re excited to have

you join us,” she said. “We’re also excited to wel-come the family members. It’s a very proud day.”

Contrada then took a five minute break from the official meeting so that family members, the firefighters, and others in attendance could take pic-tures, talk, and congratu-late one another.

After the brief break, Chief Kowalski continued on and gave a monthly report on the recent activ-ity of the fire depart-ment. “The fire incidents are slightly up from last year,” he said, “and the EMS incidents are slightly down from last year. We had a total of 3,150 [fire]

incidents for this year so far.”

Chief Kowalski also briefly talked about the most serious fire that the department had to fight. A chimney fire broke out in a home on Joelle Drive which spread to the home’s attic area. Crews were able to get the fire under control and save the home. Assistance, the Chief said, was requested that night of the Toledo and Springfield Fire Departments.

“While that was going on we had another incident on Mancy Drive just as that one was getting cleaned up,” Chief Kowalski said. It was determined that the

fire at this location was a small blaze was able to be put under control in a quick amount of time.

Chief Kowalski also reported that Sylvania Township Firefighters pro-vided assistance to Toledo firefighters at the corner of Laskey and Talmadge Roads when a person became trapped in their car after an accident last month. Also in October commercial building inspections and 23 pub-lic fire safety events, 19 of which were given at schools, three of which were given at various fire houses, were conducted and carried out by the department.

New firefighters, monthly reports presented at Township meeting

By Mike McHoneHerald Writer

Three new faces were seen at the Sylvania City Council Meeting on Monday, Nov. 15. Matthew Collins, Jacob Hammer, and Andrew Thompson are new edi-tions to the Sylvania Police Department and were introduced to the council that night by Police Chief William Rhodus.

Chief Rhodus intro-duced Officer Thompson first. “Andy comes to us from Philly, P.D.,” Chief Rhodus said. “He was a

police officer there for eight and a half years and while he was there he was also a field training offi-cer.”

Officer Collins comes to Sylvania having previ-ously served on the police force in Montpelier, OH, where he served for many years as a patrolman.

Officer Hammer comes to Sylvania from Haskins. While there he served as a part time officer for a year and a half. He also served for four years as a prison officer.

After the introductions, Chief Rhodus officially

welcomed the new offi-cers to Sylvania and said, “it’s great to have you here.”

“We’re very pleased to have you,” Mayor Craig R. Stough said to the men. “I know that the Chief, the Safety Director and the Personnel Director chose you with great care… I hope your training is going well in the city and that you like working here.”

According to Mayor Stough, the addition of the new officers does not mean that the police force is expanding in the city in terms of officer ranks.

Officers Thompson, Collins, and Hammer are replacing previous officers that have recently taken advantage of the early retirement incentive.

Aside from the formal introduction of the new officers, road improve-ments and repairs were also discussed that night. Bridge culverts on Erie Street over the Schreiber ditch are set to be improved. The company slated to take on the proj-ect is DGL Ltd. The cost of design plans for the repairs is estimated to be $62,300 and the repair project,

according to city council, should begin sometime in 2012. The actual cost of the entire project will be known sometime in the near future.

“Erie Street could pos-sibly go to five lanes in the far future,” Jeffery Ballmer, Service Director for Sylvania, said. “We’re going to make it wide enough so that we don’t have to tear the bridge down or expand it later on. And that will also include sidewalks and the bike trail across there.”

Harroun Road and Main Street are also slat-

ed to see their share of improvements. Harroun Road will be repaved by Gerken Paving Inc. and the cost will be $13,312.25. Mannik and Smith Group Inc. will pro-vide a detailed construc-tion plans for Main Street from Maplewood to the Michigan and Ohio state line. The cost is slated to be $84,408. Tetra Tech will also be providing the city engineering designs for the proposed round-about at Brint and King Roads. The cost of this is approximately $100,000.

Come early and see the bargain tables in the office

With gift giving on every-one’s mind these days, I thought that providing a shop-ping guide would be a nice gesture. Of course, you’d have to be living in Sylvania’s past to go shopping at these stores. But maybe it will bring back some fond memories, and just possibly, provide you with some gift ideas.

If it were 1955, you could stop in at Mollie Greens at Main and Maplewood. Bathing suits cost between $5.95 and $10.95, for fun under the sun. They boasted a full run of sizes at popular prices for vacationers. Pedal pushers started at $2.98, and Venida nylon stretch foot socks were 49¢. Layaway and alterations were available, and this store was even open all day Wednesday, while most Sylvania businesses at that time were closed Wednesday afternoons.

You could buy an attrac-tive pair of shoes in 1857 from Nelson Leonardson in Sylvania. Just don’t ask for sneakers!

If you time it just right, you could attend the Leader Store’s grand opening on Main Street. Free souvenirs were offered to everyone shopping on that day: cigars for the men, hand-kerchiefs for the ladies, and a dandy school tablet for the children. This store boasted a complete and up-to-date line of men’s and boy’s furnishings, clothing and shoes. How about a nice all wool overcoat for the man in your life? Regularly $25, it was on sale for $19.50. And Leader Store would press it free of charge for three times, guaranteed to satisfy you. Also consider boys blouses from 79¢, boys knee pants a bargain at 95¢, national brand men’s

overalls for $1.45. U.S. Army shoes were priced at $3.50. And remember, just come in and look over their store; you will be under no obligation to purchase.

You’ll definitely want to do your Christmas or Chanukah shopping at Holliday’s 5¢ to $1 store. It was in busi-ness from 1934 to 1964, and moved and expanded several times over the years. Historian Gayleen Gindy remembers it being an awesome store in downtown Sylvania. She has fond memories of the wood floors, big candy counter at the front of the store, and shelves and shelves of interesting toys and items to purchase. As a kid, she loved to look at everything they had, and then save her money to go back to Holliday’s to buy.

By the way, you won’t have to wait in long lines there while shopping. Don Holliday had lengthy debates with his wife in the 1930s deciding whether they could afford to hire a girl for three hours on Saturday at a cost of 50¢. By 1959, they employed 15 people full-time.

Many of these details came from advertisements and news-paper clippings, in their words, in the Sylvania Area Historical Society archives. I’ll have more shopping ideas for you next week….start working on your time travel device so you can go back and patronize these stores!

Dear Editor,

As I complete my first year after being elected, several plans have been initiated to save the taxpayer’s dollars.

First is the SIRE System, which increases transparen-cy in the Township. This system reduc-es paper waste by 90-95 percent. All Township documents are scanned and placed in a database which allows viewing by you, the taxpayer, without coming into the Township Hall to ask for copies. Also, the system allows the Fire, Police, Road and Zoning Departments to send all of their docu-ments to the Township Administration to be put into the Agenda - resulting in no paper waste. Ultimately, this system will save our employees time, which will allow them to be more effective in their department.

Second, Fire Station #2, located at McCord and Central, is current-ly under construction. One of the aims of the Board of Trustees is to ensure that taxpay-

er’s monies are being spent wisely. In that endeavor, the Board has been “hands on.” We personally reviewed all of the bids to achieve the best price and quality for your tax dollars. We have revised the original plans in order to adopt newer and more efficient die-signs, and to ensure the longevity of the new structure. The decision was made to replace the tradi-tional, deep-well sys-tem containing plastic piping and antifreeze - to a modern DX Geothermal System.The DX Geothermal System has less mov-ing parts and is less invasive in the ground. Expected cost savings are 30-60 percent over conventional systems and an average 30-40 percent cost savings over the standard geo-thermal unit.

I will work hard to continue to save your tax dollars and to keep us solvent in the future by finding ways to save your money.

Thank you,Kevin Haddad

Because so many fans of the Ann Arbor Antiques Market were disappointed to see the season end, a spe-cial “Holiday Market” edi-tion is being held Saturday, Dec. 11, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the usual location, Washtenaw Farm Council Grounds, 5055 Ann Arbor-Saline Rd. in Saline, MI. This special edition will be held in the center 3 heated and weather resistant build-ings of the fairgrounds with a canopy at the entrance for early arrivals.

For the last 42 years, The Ann Arbor Antiques Mar-ket has been a fixture on the area’s shopping and collecting scene. Marga-ret Brusher had a vision in 1968 when she started the Market in downtown Ann Arbor. By 1976 the bicen-tennial brought an enthusi-asm for history that helped her make that vision not only a reality but a huge success. In the height of its popularity, The Market was known all over the U.S. and Canada and drew exhibi-tors from all over the world.

During the April through October season, there are times when 6 buildings and numerous tents are filled to the brim with everything for the collector, designer, and home decorator.

Since Mrs. Brusher sold The Market it has survived 2 managers and a serious downturn in the Michigan economy. The current man-agers are dedicated to hav-ing The Market return to its status in the industry and are doing everything in their power to continue bringing income to the community and the exhibitors involved. Most customers and exhibi-tors are extremely faithful to The Market and new cus-tomers and exhibitors are pleased at the results they’re seeing. This has been the best quality monthly mar-ket in the country for 42 years and manager Doug Supinger says he intends to keep it that way.

For further information visit our website www.an-narborantiquesmarket.com or call Doug Supinger 937-875-0808.

Isn’t it time to show them how much we care?

‘Tis the Season! And this is a national call to all good Americans to show their love and support this holiday sea-son for our deployed troops. Join us in our mission to ship Christmas Care Boxes to our soldiers overseas, and help us send a little bit of home and comfort their way.

SupportOurTroops.Org makes this call on behalf of the 60+ troop support groups across America who send care packages to the troops.

Our deployed soldiers are far away from their loved ones, sacrificing daily for us and our country. Many don’t have a support network at home. We need to show them we are with them now more than ever during the holidays, when things can be especially tough.

“We currently have Airmen stationed at forward operating bases throughout Afghanistan performing “outside the wire” operations in harsh conditions and many of them haven’t received any-thing from home. I was hop-ing you could send some care packages this way. I know it would definitely boost their morale. Thank you for your continued support! It really means a great deal to every-one here.” ~~ Chief Bud, Afghanistan

Want to make a differ-ence in the life of a soldier this Christmas? It’s simple!

• Just go to

SupportOurTroops.Org, and click on the Christmas 2010 Care Package Icon.

• Over 90 groups are listed there.

• Just pick the one you want to send your care box goods to and follow the instructions.

• The types of things the troops request are listed there.

• The care box rules are posted there.

Martin C. Boire,

Chairman of Support Our Troops, said “during 2010

SupportOurTroops.Org has shipped over $7,200,000 in goods to the troops world-wide with a 1.3% overhead. To Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea, Japan, Bosnia, Qatar, Kuwait, Guam and on and on. We are asking everyone to help us spread the word to send care packages to the troops for the holidays. ”

He continued, “The items and the money to ship them come from generous people across America. It is amaz-ing to see the way people step up for their troops. If you would like to pro-vide items for future care boxes or make a donation to help pay to ship the goods, you can find everything you need to know posted on SupportOurTroops.Org, such as the type of things the troops are asking for, and where and how to send them to us. This shows them how much we all care.”

Our troops have a tough job -- and they can’t go home at the end of the day to relax, get a hug from a loved one, or sleep in peace through the night to start fresh in the morning. Join us in send-ing a little bit of love and appreciation their way with a Christmas Care Package to boost their spirits and their hearts during the holidays.

It’s a gesture that means more than you know. So come on. Let’s get to it!

“Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you so very much for the packages we received. We, the 2025th Transportation Company want you to know how appre-ciative we are for all that was sent to us yesterday. It is a hard road for us over here especially during the holiday season. Being away from our families is really tough but with the care boxes it made everyone feel like getting into the holiday spirit. From the 2025th Transportation Company Family we would like to extend our heartfelt “Thank You” for all of your support. We will always have a place in our heart for you. Thank you.” ~~ Major Earnest, Iraq

National call for Christmas boxes for the troops

In 2010, St. John’s Jesuit awarded $3.4 million in financial assis-tance. At SJJ, 75 percent of all families receive fi-nancial assistance.

on the placement test earn merit-based scholarships. Make-up test dates are Saturday, Dec. 11 at 8:30 a.m., and Wednesday, Dec. 29, at 9:30 a.m.

Parents interested in St. John’s Jesuit can arrange a personal tour of the school on a date and at a time that is convenient for them.

As of Dec. 1, families can apply for admission to St. John’s Jesuit online by going to www.sjjtitans.org. On-line applications will be more convenient for families. It will also serve as a way to track the progress of their admis-sions application.

On Thursday, Nov. 4, the Sylvania Northview Marching Band closed their 2010 season with the 22nd annual March-ing Concert. The performance featured the band’s favorite selections from their halftime shows, award presentations, and a farewell to a retiring di-rector.

The showcase continued with this year’s se-lections including “Classical Gas,” Any Way You Want It,” “Bad Romance,” and a drum-line feature accompanied by “interpretive dance” by Seniors Viktor Barricklow and Danny Florez. The band’s cover of the Black Eyed Peas hit “I Gotta Feeling,” featuring a line dance by senior band members and the directors, proved to be a crowd favorite.

in education, the last 7 with the Northview music program. She presented him with the “perfect attire for a retired band direc-tor,” a retired Wildcat March-ing band uniform.

On Nov. 2, 1975, 12 pre-school children with two teachers gathered in a church on Brint Road, Sylvania, to begin a new learning adventure – the opening of West Side Montessori. The school came about because of the desire of founder and Head-of-School, Lynn Fisher, to find a pre-school for her two sons. But, she wasn’t looking for just any pre-school.

She envisioned a school where “children would be challenged to think and grow in an open-ended, non-competitive, and nur-turing community, where children would learn to value work and love to learn, where appropri-ate risk-taking would be encouraged, and trial and error would be considered an essential part of learn-ing. There would be a deep respect for all chil-

dren. Students of any age would develop strong aca-demic skills, strong values and come to trust their own abilities.”

The answer to Lynn’s search was found in an arti-cle she read in a magazine while visiting her obstetri-cian’s office – Montessori education.

During the past 35 years, West Side has expe-rienced consistent growth thanks to the commitment of dedicated teachers, to the energy of thousands of parents, and to others who value and support educa-tional excellence.

Today, the school pro-vides a private school Montessori education for toddlers as young as 13 months to eighth-graders, who leave the school con-fident in their academic, social and practical life skills. These students are exceptionally prepared to

tackle the challenges of high school and beyond.

“My educational experience at West Side includes moments of sig-nificant cognition. Mutual respect, with a focus on learning through experi-ence, created a foundation of learning to appreciate the multiple dynamics of life scenarios. West Side was like pre-Denison for me. It prepared me to learn how to learn to think,” stated former student Will Trumbull.

West Side is recognized as one of the most success-ful Montessori schools in the nation. As the school looks to the future, West Side continues its commit-ment to provide an opti-mum learning environ-ment where each child can become his or her best self. West Side Montessori: better method - amazing outcomes.

The 2010 St. Joe’s Cross Country team helped move the program to a new level by earning two 2010 Middle School Ohio State Cross Country Championship team titles. Two weeks earlier, at the CYO Diocesan Meet in Bowling Green, the school claimed seven out of eight first place finishes and a team runner up finish. The St. Joe’s boys and girls middle school teams test-ed themselves against the state’s best competition in Columbus. St. Joe’s, a division III school based on enrollment, moved up to compete in division II and were successful in fin-ishing first place in both the boys and girls races.

“This group of sev-enth- and eight-grade run-ners has been so commit-ted to achieve their best the entire season” com-mented six-year coach Steve Baugh. “The kids really focused on doing what was necessary to pre-pare for the state meet and compete at a high level in Columbus. Everyone present at the state meet will never forget that day

and the team accomplish-ments,” he added.

In the boys division, St. Joe’s total of 70 points was just enough to edge second place finisher Loveland from Cincinnati, with 74 points and third place fin-isher Talmadge, with 88 points. In the girls’ divi-sion, St. Joe’s positioned themselves well in the first mile of the race and then really took control as a team in the second mile. St. Joe’s total of 31 points was well ahead of sec-ond place Loveland out of Cincinnati with 47 points.

The seven runners at the state meet in the boys division were Jason White (8), Ryan Savage (10), Casey Johnson (13), Trent Croci (18), Zach Baugh (21), Alex Schweitzer (25) and Jack Mancinotti (32). The seven participants on the St. Joe’s girl’s team were Sarah Loret (2), Courtney Thebes (4), Danielle Szczesniak (7), Kelsey Rafac (8), Regina Sullivan (12), Madison McGranahan (13) and Abby Schweitzer (25).

Two weeks earlier at the CYO Diocesan Meet

on the campus of Bowling Green State University, the St. Joe’s team earned seven team titles and one team runner up fin-ish. Individual champions were Bradley Crandall in the cadet boys division, and Kouri Geha in the pee wee boys division. In the junior level boys division, the team was led by Ryan Savage (3), Trent Croci (4), and Jason White (5). In the girls junior divi-sion, St. Joe’s was led by Danielle Szczesniak (2), Courtney Thebes (3), and Sarah Loret (4). St. Joe’s junior coach Kristi Loret provided this insight: “The team peaked at the right time on a beautiful day in Bowling Green. Their hard work all season paid off in Bowling Green and again for the junior team in Columbus. Co-coordinator Dave McGranahan added, “The kids had so much fun this season and their hard work resulted in many personal best per-formances this season.”

The St. Joe’s program again raised funds for the Ed Konicki Memorial Scholarship Fund this

season. The program received contributions of $1,200.00 for this fund and contributions of $800.00 to build a new trophy case at St. Joe’s for cross country.

This season Dave McGranahan was named co-coordinator with eight year cross country coor-dinator Sean Savage. Dave will be assuming the coordinator role in 2011. Departing coordinator Sean Savage summed up the season by saying “The enormous effort by all our parent volunteer coaches goes largely unnoticed. They are the back bone of the program. We were fortunate to have 175 run-ners and 24 parent volun-teer coaches this season. I have enjoyed watching so many in the St. Joe’s com-munity embrace the cross country program. The two state championship team performances to cap off the season will never leave me. I feel blessed to have been involved with St. Joe’s cross country. What a fun journey we had together over the past eight years.”
