Katie, 9, Kylie, 7, Ben, 5, and Lily, 6, visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus. The children were among the first ones in a line that stretched
from one end of the lodge to the other. Additional photos on page 2.
The holiday season
sparkled in Holland on
December 6, when hundreds
of Holland and Springfield
Township residents gathered
at Strawberry Acres Park for
the fifth annual Christmas
Tree Lighting.
Sponsored by the Holland/Springfield Chamber of
Commerce and the Village
of Holland, the tree lighting
ceremony began at 6:30
p.m. when volunteers from
Trinity Acres Park and the
Dwelling place staged a living Nativity outside the
lodge.
A short time later residents gathered near the huge
pine tree at the Angola,
McCord and Clarion intersection to listen to holiday
music performed by the
Springfield High School
brass ensemble.
Following the holiday
music, Holland Mayor Mike
Yunker addressed the estimated 600 people in attendance.
He noted that the annual
tradition would not be possible without the help of many
volunteers, organizations
and businesses.
“I would like to express
my gratitude to everyone
involved,” he said.
He then invited youngsters, now familiar with the
routine, to join him at the
podium to help light the
tree. The youngsters quickly
swarmed around the mayor,
anxious to throw the switch.
Together with the mayor,
the children counted backward from 10 before lighting the 35-foot tall pine tree.
But something was miss-
ing, the mayor said. He
asked the children for another countdown and with the
flip of another switch, he lit
the star atop the tree.
With the tree lit and on
cue, Santa Claus, waving to
children, came riding down
McCord Road on board a
Springfield Township fire
truck.
Families made the short
walk to the Lodge at Strawberry Acres in time to see
Santa arrive. The jolly old
elf waved cheerfully to the
crowd before entering the
lodge to hear children’s gift
wishes.
The line to visit the north
pole visitor had already
formed and within minutes,
stretched the length of the
lodge.
Volunteers greeted visitors with trays of cookies
and piping hot chocolate,
donated by area businesses,
organizations and individuals.
After visiting Santa, children were invited to take
part in craft projects, sponsored by the the Holland
NFL analyst and former Pittsburgh Steeler QB visits Toledo
Four-time Superbowl Champion speaks at Toledo Christian fund-raiser
Nearly 400 Toledo Christian School supporters and
fans of NFL football gathered at Toledo’s SeaGate
Centre on December 5 for
the school’s annual fundraiser banquet, which featured Terry Bradshaw.
A commentator for FOX
NFL Sports and four-time
Super Bowl champion quarterback, Mr. Bradshaw’s
appearance at the banquet
was made possible through
a speakers bureau, said
Kathy Woodward, TCS
board president and Perrysburg resident.
She said Mr. Bradshaw
had the choice of whether to
accept the school’s invitation and was thrilled that he
chose to visit Toledo.
“We were delighted. He
was so gracious, and he was
the real deal,” she added.
Chrys Peterson of
WTOL, event emcee, introduced the former Pittsburgh
Steeler. “Terry Bradshaw is
truly a modern day renaissance man. When God was
handing out talent, he just
kept getting in line,” she
said.
She noted that he is a
perfect 4-0 in the big game,
winning Super Bowl’s IX,
X, XIII and XIV. A two-time
Super Bowl MVP, he also is
a Pro Football Hall of Fame
inductee.
But his talents extended
well beyond the 100-yard
field of play.
After retiring from foot-
Terry Bradshaw regales the audience with tales of his
life and lessons learned.
ball Mr. Bradshaw, already a
talented singer went on to
record four albums and
author five books. He
appeared in several movies
and is the only NFL football
player to have a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame,
Ms. Peterson said.
Since 1990, Mr. Bradshaw has been a sports commentator, first on “The NFL
Today” and later on “Fox
NFL Sunday.”
“He is truly bigger than
life and a completely
impressive individual,” she
said, but she believes his
greatest attribute is his “big
heart” and his desire to
reach out and help others.
“He is an instrument in
God’s hands.”
Fans, many wearing the
former quarterback’s #12
jersey, broke into applause
when Mr. Bradshaw took
the stage.
“All things are possible
with our Lord and Savior,”
he began. “There’s nothing
like being knocked down, as
long as you look up.”
He believes that with
God there is guidance.
Referring to the recent murder/suicide
involving
Kansas City linebacker
Jovan Belcher, he said,
“Obviously the young man
was lost.”
But being lost does not
have to lead to tragedy.
“Amazing things can happen when we’re lost, if we
walk in light as He is in the
light.”
Mr. Bradshaw continued,
“I’m 64 and happy to be
alive. It’s amazing the won-
derful things God has in
store for us.”
He believes today’s society is filled with too much
turmoil, misery and chaos.
“No one cares that there is
an answer.”
Mr. Bradshaw pointed
out that history provides a
clue to the future. “If you
study empires, most of their
collapses came with the
decay of their values,” and
he worries about the lack of
belief in God. “It’s amazing
how we can see beauty and
think it just came from an
asteroid. We should be
thankful to be alive.”
The former quarterback
enjoys his current career,
working alongside Jimmy
Johnson, Howie Long,
Michael Strahan and Curt
Menefee.
“They’re all gorgeous
people. Howie gets letters
from women, I get nothing.
I’m the only single guy, and
I get nothing, he quipped,
adding, “It’s a wonderful
thing.”
He doesn’t let life get
him down. “I wake up say
amen and put a smile on my
face.”
Mr. Bradshaw stresses
the importance of learning
how to get along with people, although he admits his
own shortcomings.
“You’re always going to
have to deal with people.
How many of you men got
down on one knee to propose?” he asked. “Don’t be
shy. I did it three times,” he
recalled of his three marriages.
Although some aspects
of his personal life didn’t
work out as he planned, the
football star has found joy in
his relationship with God.
“Happiness changes from
moment to moment and is
based on things. Joy can’t be
touched. It’s there forever.”
He recalled growing up
in Louisiana and his earliest
memories of living on a 40acre cotton and watermelon
farm. “I’m a southern Baptist who grew up following
behind my grandfather on
the plow. I remember getting electricity and our first
light bulb.
He also remembers being
raised “with a solid foundation for the love of Jesus.”
His mother’s side of the
family were talented singers
and gospel music was often
sung.
As he got older, Mr.
Bradshaw discovered he had
a passion for football. “I
don’t know why God called
me, but it’s amazing the
transformation when you
trust Christ as your Savior,”
he said.
But although he had a
passion for football, he
lacked the same passion
scholastically. “I flunked the
ACT test so I went to a
small school, Louisiana
Tech.”
It was there that his skill
with the pigskin caught the
eye of the NFL, and Mr.
Bradshaw was drafted to
play for Pittsburgh.
Reporters, eager to learn
more about the new
prospect, began looking into
his background. After seeing

Branch Library and the
Dwelling Place.
The church also provided
an Angel Tree, and residents
generously selected from
the tree a paper ornament
with the name of a child in
need.
Pat Hicks, chamber president, believes this year’s
event drew the largest crowd
yet.
She expressed her appreciation to the tree lighting
committee. “I am so grateful
for the wonderful effort on
behalf of this committee.
The event couldn’t have
come together more smoothly,” she said.
She also noted that a
great deal of the credit must
go toward area businesses,
organizations and individuals for their contributions.
“Their generosity was
wonderful. We had a huge
array of pastries, and the
decorations were beautiful,”
she said, adding that the
efforts of volunteers in the
kitchen, making hot chocolate and serving cookies was
greatly appreciated.

Lucas County, MADD kick off holiday safe driving campaign
On December 7, Santa
Claus and his entourage of
Lucas County law enforcement officials gathered at the
Lodge at Strawberry Acres
in Holland to kick off this
holiday season’s safe driving
campaign, “Santa is coming
to town… Please don’t hit
him.”
Gwen Neundorfer, Lucas
County traffic safety coordinator, said the holiday celebrations have already begun
with families, friends and
co-workers gathering for
parties and celebrations.
“It’s a wonderful time of
year, but unfortunately, it’s
also when more accidents
occur,” she said. “Holiday
get-togethers often result in
more people drinking and
then making the decision
that they are only a little
‘buzzed’ and are ‘okay’ to
drive.”
Last year in Lucas County
there
were
418
alcohol/drug-related crashes
that resulted in 12 deaths

Looking for a New Year’s
Resolution? Here’s One
That Will Last a Lifetime
During this holiday season,
we would like to thank each
member
of
the
Holland/Springfield community for your support of Springfield Schools. The commitment and continued investment in the education of our
students is paying great dividends. This season also is the
time for planning New Year
resolutions. If this is on your
“To Do” list, please consider
one that will last a lifetime.
Give the gift of reading to
a child by becoming a reading
volunteer. Volunteers may give
any amount of time that best
meets their schedule to work
with a child. One on one, our
volunteers assist students to
help them become better readers. That is a gift that impacts
every aspect of a child’s life
and is truly a resolution that
makes a positive impact, not
only on our students but on
our volunteers as well.
Volunteers may choose the
elementary school that best
meets the volunteer’s needs,
training is provided and scheduling is flexible. Any amount
of time is appreciated and
impactful. For more information on becoming a reading
volunteer, call 418-867-5702.
Oh the Weather Outside is
Frightful…yet Holloway Elementary School is available
for a brisk walk even on the
coldest winter days. Holloway
Elementary School, located at
6611 Pilliod Road, provides an
excellent location for our residents to walk no matter what
the weather. As long as school
is in session, we invite you to
take advantage of our facilities.
“Take a Walk at Holloway”
is an indoor walking program.
Springfield Local Schools and
the Holloway Staff are pleased
to offer this valuable service to
our community.
The walking times are
Monday through Friday, from
6:30 to 7:30 a.m., and from 4
to 7 p.m. The gym is available
for walking during the morning walking hours and the
hallways are available for
evening walking.
If the school building is
closed or school is cancelled
for any reason, walking will
not take place on that day. If
there is a delay, morning times
are cancelled.
We look forward to your
participation in our walking
program. For more information, call Holloway at 419867-5703.
When the weather outside
is frightful, come take a walk
with us.
Erie Shores Birding Assn. to participate in bird count
The Erie Shores Birding
Association will not meet in
December. The group will
instead hold a Christmas
bird count.
Prior to Christmas 1900,
contests were held to see
who could kill the most
birds and bring in the
biggest pile of feathers. On
Christmas day 1900,
ornithologist Frank Chapman began to develop a
means to count birds as
opposed to shooting them.
The first Christmas bird
count consisted of 27 birders
in 25 “count circles” from
Toronto to Pacific Grove,
California, which yielded a
total of 90 species.
Today, more than 50,000
birders participate in more
than 1,700 counts. Monroe
County has been involved in
the counts for more than 35
years.
The Birding Association
will resume its monthly
meetings in January.

Holland Rotary Club brings
holiday cheer to school children
Continued from page 1
and 276 injuries. Of the fatal
crashes, 43 percent involved
impaired drivers.
Ms. Neundorfer said she
recently read an article about
an impaired driver who hit a
car driven by a mother who
was in the vehicle with her 5and 2-year old children. The
older child was killed.
“People don’t think about
this until it impacts their life,”
she continued. “We need to
think about it.”
She urges everyone to
plan ahead, select a designated driver and wear seatbelts.
Ms. Neundorfer reminds
county residents that officers
are conducting extra patrols
during the holiday season.
“So remember if you’re
‘Tipsy, Buzzed or Blitzen’ get
a sober ride or call a cab,” she
said.
Julie Leggett of MADD
(Mothers Against Drunk
Driving) agreed. She distributed red ribbons representing
the organization’s campaign
to “Tie One On For Safety.”
MADD created the campaign in 1986 to bring attention to drinking and driving
during the holiday season,
she explained. The ribbon
should be tied in a visible
place such as an antenna or
side mirror.
Looking at this year’s
county statistics through September, Ms. Leggett noted
that there were eight alcohol/drug related fatalities.
“When someone is killed
by a drunk driver, they’re not
coming back and the family
is left with an empty spot at
the holiday table,” she said,
adding, “What’s sad is this is
100 percent curable.”
She encourages residents
to “Tie One On For Safety,”
throughout the year, and especially during the holiday
season.
Kevin Boissoneault, an attorney with Gallon, Takacs,
Boissoneault and Schaffer
law firm and sponsor for the
MADD campaign, acknowledged the work done by
emergency responders. “You
guys are on the front line
dealing with these accidents,”
he said.
Mr. Boissoneault handles
the aftermath. “I deal with the
day to day afterward,” he
said, adding, “These families
are devastated.”
He urges impaired drivers
to think before getting behind
the wheel this holiday season.
Lucas County Detective
Mark Woodruff, coordinator
of the OVI task force, agreed.
“We’re asking everybody to
have a designated driver.”
He pointed out that his
task force has already conducted eight random check
point stops in the county
since their fiscal year began
in October and said more are
on the way. “We will be beefing up patrols through the
BCS championship game in
January.”
Santa Claus closed the
presentation with a reminder
that December is National
Drunk and Drugged Driving
Prevention Month. “I arrived
early because I felt this was
an important message. I don’t
like visiting hospitals or funerals.”
He added, “I hate when
someone lands on the
naughty list.”
The jolly elf said he is reminded of a Christmas song,
“He sees you when you’re
drinking, He knows when
you’re .08 so designate a
driver or take a taxi for goodness sake.”
He implored motorists to
drive safely this year. “I’ll be
coming soon to Lucas
County with my reindeer and
sleigh. Please don’t hit me,”
he concluded.

After the shopping spree, the children were transported to
the Wolf Creek YMCA for a snack and games. Clockwise
from front left are Nate Buchholz, Sa’Bryn Jones, Savannah Cload, Diamond Melody Diaz-Matbury, Joshua Brunner and Brandon Greene.
Members of the HollandSpringfield Rotary Club
made Christmas a little
brighter for 20 Springfield elementary school children of
lower income families on December 7.
The Rotarians took the
youngsters on a shopping
spree at WalMart in Holland
where the children selected
clothes, shoes, boots, coats
and other essential items.
Following the shopping
adventure, the children were
transported by Wolf Creek
YMCA staff to the facility for
snacks and activities.
The children created
thank you cards for Rotarians
and enjoyed gymnastics, basketball and other games before being picked up by their
parents.
Dick Helminiak, event organizer, expressed his appre-
ciation to WalMart and Wolf
Creek YMCA for supporting
the program.
“The annual event is just
one of many things Rotarians
do as part of their commitment to ‘service above self,’”
he said.

Bradshaw speaks at Toledo Christian banquet
Continued from page 1
his grades and the fact that he
had lost four jobs, they
reached a conclusion. “I must
be stupid,” he said, acknowledging that years later he was
diagnosed with attention
deficit disorder and depression.
Mr. Bradshaw didn’t think
of football as a difficult game.
“I played simple. If a man
was open, I threw it to him
and if there was a man in
front of him, then I threw it a
littler higher. I called my own
plays.”
All that mattered to the
young quarterback were the
numbers on the field. “I knew
the smaller the numbers were
getting, the better we were
doing
offensively,”
he
quipped.
And what happened when
none of his plays seemed to
be working? Mr. Bradshaw
simply turned to his team-
mates in the huddle and
asked, “You guys got any
ideas?”
Looking back, Mr. Bradshaw noted that football certainly has changed over the
years. “The most I made was
$300,000 in a year. Peyton
Manning is getting $38 million over two years and Ben
Roethlisberger is making $16
million. “They’ll never come
talk to you,” he joked.
Football, although fun, is
not life, he continued. “Life is
not a program, dictated
through an ear piece. We are
measured by the choices we
make. God gave us a brain,
and he gave us a book. I
chose that book.”
But even with the book,
he admits that his decisions
have not always been the
best. “I’ve failed many times
in life. I failed at marriage,
but I have two gorgeous children, Rachel and Erin.”
He is proud of his daughters and the choices they are
making.

Springfield High
School News
By Steve Gwin, Principal
Springfield High School is
one of only 539 school districts across 44 of the 50 states
in the United States and
Canada being honored by the
College Board with placement
on the third Annual AP® District Honor Roll for simultaneously increasing access to
Advanced Placement course
work while increasing the percentage of students earning
scores of 3 or higher on AP
exams.
Achieving both of these
goals is the ideal scenario for
a district’s AP program because it indicates that the district is successfully identifying
motivated, academically prepared students who are likely
to benefit most from rigorous
AP course work.
Since 2010, SHS has increased the number of students
participating in AP by 20 percent while improving the percentage of students earning AP
exam scores of 3 or higher by
8 percent.
Data show that among
African-American, Hispanic,
and Native American students
with a high degree of readiness for AP, only about half of
students are participating,
often because their school
does not yet offer the AP
course. We call for continued
commitment to expanding the
availability of AP courses
among prepared and motivated students of all backgrounds. We must be vigilant
about fostering greater readiness for AP, and then we must
care for students within AP
courses by providing support,
mentorship and encouragement.
“We applaud the extraordinary efforts of the devoted
SHS teachers and administrators who are fostering rigorous
work worth doing. These educators have not only expanded
student access to AP course
work, but they have enabled
more of their students to
achieve on a college
level–which is helping to create a strong college-going culture,” said college board
president David Coleman.
Helping more students
learn at a higher level and earn
higher AP scores is an objective of all members of the AP
community, from AP teachers
to district and school administrators to college professors.
Many districts are experiment-
ing with a variety of initiatives
and strategies to determine
how to expand access and improve student performance simultaneously.
“There has been a great
victory among educators who
have believed that a more diverse population could indeed
succeed in AP courses. In
2012, AP scores were higher
than they’d been since 2004,
when one million fewer students were being given access.
These outcomes are a powerful testament to educators’ belief that many more students
were indeed ready and waiting
for the sort of rigor that would
prepare them for what they
would encounter in college,”
said Trevor Packer, the college
board’s senior vice president
of the Advanced Placement
Program. Inclusion on the
third Annual AP District
Honor Roll is based on the examination of three years of AP
data, from 2010 to 2012, for
the following criteria, districts
must:
•Increase participation/ access to AP by at least 4 percent
in large districts, at least 6 percent in medium districts and at
least 11 percent in small districts;
•Ensure that the percentage
of African American, Hispanic/Latino and American Indian/Alaska Native students
taking AP Exams did not decrease by more than 5 percent
for large and medium districts
or by more than 10 percent for
small districts;
•Improve performance levels when comparing the percentage of students in 2012
scoring a 3 or higher to those
in 2010, unless the district has
already attained a performance
level in which more than 70
percent of the AP students are
scoring a 3 or higher.
When these outcomes have
been achieved among an AP
student population made up of
30 percent or more underrepresented minority students
and/or 30 percent or more
low-income students, a symbol has been affixed to the district name to highlight this
work.
The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program
enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies–with
the opportunity to earn college
credit, advanced placement or
both–while still in high school.

PET OF THE WEEK
JAKE
Jake is a 1-year-old
male brown tiger and white
longhair. He lived in a
home with several other
cats and wasn’t happy
about sharing his space
with so many feline roommates.
Jake was brought into
the Toledo Area Humane
Society so that he could
find a home where he might receive more one-on-one attention.
Jake is an affectionate cat who enjoys being petted. He
would love to find a family that makes him feel special and
where he won’t have to spend so much time competing for
attention. Jake doesn’t mind having other cats around as long
as he has his own space. He has been neutered, examined by
a TAHS staff veterinarian, is current on his vaccinations, and
is microchipped.
For more information, visit the Toledo Area Humane Society,
1920 Indian Wood Circle, Maumee or call 419-891-0705.

Pixie Shop
With only a few shopping
days left this holiday season,
the students at Holloway Elementary had the perfect opportunity to purchase their
own gifts for family and
friends at the Holloway Association of Parents (HAP)
annual Pixie Shop.
Besides being fun, students put into practice good
decision making skills along
with applying their math abilities with the use of money.
With the help of the classroom teacher and parent volunteers the students had a
positive experience in making holiday purchases for
their family members.
A special thank you to
Mrs. Bucher for coordinating
this event and to all of the
parent volunteers who donated items and their time in
helping to make this learning
opportunity a success.

Tailgate
Mrs. Hanna’s fourth
grade class recently had a
tailgate party as their reward
for winning the first ever
Box Top Bowl for turning in
the most Box Tops for Education and scoring the most
points for the “game.”
They turned in more than
1,900 Box Tops, and for the
whole school we had more
than 19,000 turned in.
We appreciate all the
hard work that goes into
buying the food items that
have Box Tops on them and
the extra effort needed to
clip them off the boxes and
send them in.
So far this year our Holland families have sent in
more than 25,000 Box Tops,
which equals $2,500 in
money back to our school.
