Community splits on Springfield Local Schools levy
Judging from signs such as the ones above that have
been cropping up throughout Springfield Township and
the Village of Holland, residents remain divided on
whether to support Springfield Local Schools’ 7.9-mill
continuing operating levy, which is the only ballot issue
to be decided in Lucas County on Tuesday, August 5.
Polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. For

Board of Elections at 419-213-4001 or visit the website at

Springfield BOE to move forward with plans
to place two levies on November ballot
By Jane Maiolo
The Springfield Board of
Education approved two resolutions of necessity, the first
step toward placing levies on
the November ballot.
At a special meeting on
July 23, the board authorized
Treasurer Ryan Lockwood to
request from the Lucas
County auditor an estimate
of revenues for a 7.9-mill
continuing operating levy
and 1.35-mill permanent
improvement levy, which is
a renewal.
The board must file by
August 6 to obtain certification for the November election, explained the treasurer.
He noted that results of the
August 5 election will not be
available prior to the deadline.
The school board will
remove the 7.9-mill levy
from the November ballot
should the issue pass next
month, he said.
“It’s confusing to people,” admitted board member
Keiran Menacher, adding
that by law, the district has a
90-day window in which to
apply for the resolutions of
necessity.
Board member Ken
Musch said without funds
generated
from
the
levy–which will cost the
owner of a $100,000 home
an additional $276.50 per
year–the district will run a
deficit in 2015.
To maintain a balanced
budget as required by state
law, Springfield Schools
must either pass a levy or
make additional cuts.
In July the district instituted $1.1 million in permanent personnel cuts.
Cuts included information technology purchased
services, fifth grade band,
middle school French and
health and in school reassignment at the high school
and middle school.
The board eliminated an
administrator position, elementary deans of students, a
mental health counselor,
SMS school resource officer
and an SHS crossing guard.
They also reduced the
number of library clerks as
well as a secretary.
High school electives are
being decreased and educational service center programs have been internalized.
Mr. Musch understands
voter confusion over operating levy amounts that have
been placed on or removed
from the ballot over the last
18 months.
In March 2013, the board
withdrew plans to place a
3.9-mill levy on the ballot
and in November 2013, voters turned down a request for
a 2.9-mill operating levy.
The board subsequently
placed a 5.9-mill levy on the
spring ballot but revoked that
in February.
Mr. Musch attributed the
differing amounts to changes
in educational funding.
“Things came up unexpectedly,” he said.
Those include an increase
in educational service center
costs. ESCs saw a reduction
in state funding and have
been forced to pass those
costs along to school districts, he explained.
Healthcare also has risen
as has the cost for charter
schools. Since February, the
board has seen an increase in
expenses of $2.5 million, Mr.
Musch noted.
“We wouldn’t be in this
position if the state would
provide the $6.4 million a
year they say we should
receive,” he added.
The board member pointed out that when the state
instituted a tax cut, they
reduced funding at the local
level, resulting in local governments asking voters for
additional money.
Mr. Musch encouraged
Lucas County auditor discusses Springfield
Schools levy and impact on property owners
At a July 18 meeting,
Lucas County Auditor Anita
Lopez spoke to area residents about the proposed tax
levy for Springfield Local
Schools.
Ms. Lopez was invited by
Springfield Township trustee
Marylin Yoder to explain
how the levy will affect
property owners if passed.
During a special election
August 5, Springfield Township and Holland residents
will decide whether to support the district’s 7.9-mill
continuing operating levy.
If passed, the levy will
cost the owner of a $100,000
home an additional $276.50
per year.
Ms. Lopez addressed several issues including a
change in the 10 percent
rollback, which impacts
property owners.
Since
1971,
Ohio
landowners have experienced a 10 percent reduction
in total real property tax. The
state has reimbursed local
governments for lost revenue, which in 2012 totaled
$1.7 billion.
Under the new law, the
10 percent rollback no
longer applies to levies
enacted after August 31,
2013.
As a result, the owner of
a $100,000 home will pay an
additional $34, which is
included in the district’s
$276.50.
Changes also have been
made to the homestead
exemption, said the county
auditor. To benefit from the
income threshold, a resident
must turn 65 by 2015 and
earn $30,000 or less annually.
“If you already have
[reached] the threshold, you
have been grandfathered in,”
she explained.
Ms. Lopez noted that 90
percent of Lucas County residents no longer qualify for
the exemption.
voters to contact their state
legislators and urge them to
correct the funding system
for school districts.
Jessie Geis, a district resident, questioned the board
on the decision to seek
approval of a permanent
operating levy instead of a
five-year one.
Mr. Musch said the decision was based on the continuing decline of revenue
from the state.
He also reminded residents that the permanent
improvement levy, which
will be on the November ballot, is strictly for the purpose
of maintaining district facilities. Because it is a renewal
levy, there will be no additional cost to homeowners.
In other business, the
board approved a one-year
agreement with the Ohio
Association of Public School
Employees and the Springfield Education Association.
Both bargaining units
have agreed to a wage freeze
through July 1, 2015.
“On behalf of the board
we do appreciate that,” said
Sherri Koback, president.
The next regular meeting
of the board will be at 5
p.m., Wednesday, August 20,
at the administration building, 6900 Hall Street, and is
open to the public.
Levy
Information
The Board of Education
encourages residents to
contact the district with any
questions they may have
regarding the levy and the
district’s need for additional
funding.
The board wants to
ensure voters have accurate
information before going to
the polls on August 5.
“There are pieces of
information that are getting
out there that are erroneous,” said Sherri Koback,
board president. “Call us
for the correct information.”

By Jane Maiolo
In separate meetings, the
Springfield
Township
trustees and Holland village
council reviewed an amended agreement for the establishment of a joint economic
development zone.
On July 21, the trustees
approved the agreement,
and requested the issue to be
placed on the November 4
ballot. On July 22, village
council tabled the agreement pending language clarification.
The proposed JEDZ contract between the two jurisdictions was reviewed by
the joint economic development review council
(JEDRC) on July 11,
explained Leslie Kohli,
township administrator.
“The JEDRC met and
looked at the economic
development plan to determine what is in the best
interest of the area,” she
continued.
The JEDRC is comprised
of county auditor Anita
Lopez; Ford Weber, president of the Lucas County
Economic Development
Commission; Pastor Ed
Grable of Timberlake Community Church located in
the JEDZ, and representatives from Toledo Edison,
McDonald’s, Kellermaier
and Sam’s Club–four businesses in the proposed zone.
The JEDRC reviewed all
the documentation, said Ms.
Kohli, adding, “They asked
a lot of great questions.”
She said the review
council did recommend one
amendment to Section 4C
regarding a schedule for
provision of new, expanded
or additional services, facilities or improvement.
The amended section
reads, “Holland may upon
request of the JEDZ board
provide: 1) engineering services for road construction
and improvements; 2) financial services to the JEDZ
board for analysis of economic activity affecting the
JEDZ, and 3) maintenance
and improvements of public
rights of way.”
Trustee Bob Bethel
expressed his appreciation
to the administrator and
staff for the work they put
into the agreement.
Ms. Kohli, who is working to notify all companies
in the JEDZ, noted that the
majority of businesses have
been contacted.
Village and township
officials are seeking the creation of a JEDZ to enhance
commercial and economic
development along the Airport Highway corridor.
Goals for the territory are
to provide a safe environment to work and shop;
increase employment opportunity in the township; stabilize the tax base; promote
standards of the Spring
Meadows overlay district;
maximize the I-475 corridor
for office and sustainable
mixed uses, and encourage
development that will produce jobs in the township.
McCord Road
Annexations
The trustees approved a
Lucas County annexation
request to the Village of
Holland for three parcels
with trustees Mr. Bethel and
Andy Glenn voting for the
annexation and trustee
Marylin Yoder abstaining.
Last month, village council
approved the annexation
request.
Located on the east side
of McCord Road just north
and south of the railroad
tracks, the 12.97-acre, county-owned land is in the area
of the railroad underpass
project.
The annexations were
approved pending completion of a separate agreement
with the village that will
compensate the township
for lost property tax revenue.
In a July 24 telephone
interview, Holland Mayor
Mike Yunker said the county-owned Wickes Lumber
property is currently being
used as part of the railroad
underpass project, but will
be sold after construction is

complete.
The township would then
be reimbursed annually for
any property tax it normally
would have collected on the
privately-owned parcel, he
explained.
At the trustees meeting,
Mr. Glenn said that at present the township receives
no property tax because the
acreage is county-owned.
He and the mayor estimate a fair market value of
$1 million for the land when
it becomes privately owned
and developed.
Other Business
In other business, the
trustees:
•Learned from Mike
Hampton, public services
director, that the township
will rebid at a lower tonnage
its winter rock salt request
through the Ohio Department of Transportation.
The township received
1,000 tons several months
ago in its summer bid order,
but the winter salt bids came
back nearly three times
more expensive at $134.43
per ton.
In the rebid, Mr. Hampton is asking for 400 tons of
salt, half of his original winter order.
“We’re keeping our fingers crossed,” he said,
adding that the township
currently has 1,200 tons of
salt on hand.
“Last year, close to 2,000
tons were used,” he noted.
•Discussed alternative
irrigation for Community
Homecoming Park.
Because of high water
bills, Mr. Hampton is looking into pumping water
from the pond.
He said the pond has
always been full even during dry spells and does not
believe there will be a significant decline in the water
table should a pump be
used.
•Heard from Mr. Hampton that Springfield Schools
has been invoiced $3,827.40
for time and salt application
assistance rendered by the
township this past winter.
“With our equipment and
manpower, we did save
them money,” he said.
•Paid bills from July 8 to
21 totaling $34,179. They
also approved electronic
payments from June 27 to
July 10 of $243,923 including payroll of $177,706.
•Set a public hearing for
7 p.m., Monday, August 4
for a zoning change request
for 6930 Dorr Street. The
applicant is seeking to
rezone the parcel from RA-4
rural residential to M-1 limited industrial.
•Opted not to oppose a
liquor license request for
Stone Oak Market, 9211
Old Airport Highway.
•Announced that plans
are under way to open Florian Park on Wednesday,
August 6.
The next trustees meeting will be at 7 p.m., Monday, August 4, at the township meeting hall, 7617
Angola Road, and is open to
the public.
Proclaim FM radio switches genres, reaches new listeners
By Allison Barrick
Proclaim FM radio station is getting a new
sound–with help from
Craig Magrum, general
manager.
He began in the radio
business when he was 16,
working as a weekend
announcer at WJYN for
three years.
“I think God had me
start in radio so early for a
reason,” he said.
Although he enrolled at
the University of Toledo
majoring in information
technology, the young student never forgot his time
at the station.
He decided to transfer to
Cedarville University to
major in communications.
After graduation, he
resumed his work in radio
at YesFM for eight years.
Mr. Magrum took a
break from radio for a few
years, but soon began
searching to get back in the
business. In 2012, he got a
call from the board of
directors from the radio
station
on
Angola
Road–seemingly out of
nowhere.
“It was a station I had
never thought about,” he
shared.
The radio station
emphasizes teachings from
the Bible. Prior to Mr.
Magrum’s arrival, they
played three genres of
music: southern gospel,
sacred and choral.
However, the board presented a problem to Mr.
Magrum–the station wasn’t
reaching families anymore.
The new general manager decided to hold music
forums at different churches of various denominations.
Members of ages 30 to
50 had the opportunity to
listen to samples of music
from southern gospel to
contemporary Christian.
The listeners then would
vote on their favorite genre.
Contemporary Christian
won the contest.
While it was obvious
that the station would need
to change its music, it
would be a difficult transition for some.
“Music is a very personal thing,” explained Mr.
Magrum.
The station made the
transition slowly, implementing new music in the
mornings and eventually
making both morning and
afternoon drives pure
Christian music.
While Proclaim FM may
sound like any other Christian station, it has two very
unique aspects–it is local
and has a wider variety of

Dear Editor:
Sylvania City Council

that would restrict the
feeding of community cats.
Laws like this can be used
to hinder Trap-NeuterReturn (TNR) efforts.
This ordinance is a serious threat to Sylvania’s
community cats. Feeding
bans can deprive cats of
their regular food source
and do nothing to stabilize
or reduce the population.
Without being able to feed
and care for cats, TNR is
impossible.
This ordinance wastes
taxpayer dollars on punishing volunteer caregivers

Proclaim FM radio
Continued from page 1
Sundays.
Proclaim FM is committed to connecting with
the local community. In
fact, the station allows the
village of Holland to utilize its gymnasium for
winter games of pickleball.
The radio station also
provides space for “Angel
Arms,” a clothing drive
that offers donated clothes
to families and individuals
in need.
While moving in a new
direction had its challenges, Mr. Magrum said
that it has been rewarding.
The station heard from a
listener whose son recently
had surgery and was in the
hospital. The boy would
listen to Proclaim FM,
which helped him through
his healing and his loneliness.
The mother requested
for a DJ to make a visit to
the hospital, saying that
her son would be thrilled.
“We’re local, so we can
do it,” said the manager.
He believes it has been
a positive experience seeing how the station is
impacting the listeners.
“It makes all the
changes worth it,” added
Mr. Magrum.
Proclaim FM has
received positive feedback
on Facebook and in
emails, and recently some
listeners shared that they
would like to help the station financially, as it is listener supported.
Despite major changes
in its format, the radio station is doing well, and the
manager hopes that Proclaim FM will reach a
larger audience. His goal is
to be in the top 10 radio
stations in Toledo within
three years.
“It’s not to become popular, but to know that
we’re being effective in
what God has called us to
do,” he concluded.

Perhaps it’s a sign of the times, but for the City of Sylvania and Sylvania Township, things are looking up as the community welcomed a number of new businesses in 2014. Since January nine enterprises have opened, most recently the
confectionary store Shakolad, top left, and above right, Kabloom, a flower and gift shop.
Also coming to the community and joining the Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce are The Next Sweet Thing, Executive on Main restaurant, Luxe Laser Vein and Body Center, K & K Auto Repair, The Shops in the Villages and Mike
Buck–State Farm. In the near future will be Genoa Bank, which is constructing a 4,200 square foot financial center at

SPRINGFIELD SCHOOL LEVY
7.9 MILLS
Attention Renters Renters of apartments, mobile homes,
houses, etc. Your rent will probably
significantly increase if levy passes. The
property owner will be paying a lot more
property taxes.
Property Owners Your house payment will significantly
increase. You now pay 75.15 mills for
Springfield Schools.
If levy passes you will be
paying 83.05 mills in property
taxes. When property values go
up your taxes will go up again.
Recent changes to the Homestead Exemption Program means
after age 65 your exemption is based on your Ohio adjusted
gross income. To qualify you cannot exceed $30,500 for the
preceding year. If you don’t qualify for exemption you will pay
the full cost of this and all new levies.
We all are paying higher utility, food and fuel costs.
Springfield Schools want more money.
That means additional property taxes.
Remember — This is a permanent levy!

WC law library resources are useful to the public
Editor’s note: this is the
second in a series of articles
on the Wood County law library.
By Allison Barrick
The Wood County Law
Library contains resources
that are useful to an attorney,
law student or even a curious
individual.
The library contains two
versions of Ohio Revised
Code. While this may seem
inconsequential, different
publishers often provide different perspectives of the
same statute.

“A wise researcher will
check both sources,” said
Dorrie Cramer-Rumple, law
librarian.
There also are sections of
specific, topics from school
law to criminal law, which
allow more in-depth research.
This makes it easier for an attorney who specializes in a
certain area of law, she explained.
Many of the references
contain booklets called
“pocket parts.” Pocket parts
offer the most recent versions
of laws so that a researcher
can find the most accurate information.
The law library’s online
databases with documents
that are as old as 1993 and
1996 allows for extended
study on the web.
Because many people can
not afford an attorney, Ms.
Cramer-Rumple promotes
the library as an excellent
way to educate oneself for
self-representation in court.
However, Ms. CramerRumple warns that research
is not something that can be
done in only 15 minutes.
“There’s more to this than
what people think,” said the
law librarian.
In fact, it might take a few
hours to complete. Even first
year law students spend an
entire year learning how to
make use of a law library, she
noted.
“People will say ‘wow, I
can see why attorneys get
paid,’” she said.
While the law librarians
are there to assist patrons,
they do have their limits and
can not:
•Answer legal questions.
• Interview about a case.
•Give legal advice.
•Recommend an attorney.
However, the librarian
may:
•Show how to use resources and online databases.
•Provide websites of who
to contact if in need of an attorney.
Visitors are not allowed to
check out books, but they are
allowed to scan pages and
print them for 5 cents a page.
They also may download
scanned pages onto a flashdrive for free.
The library’s hours are
Monday through Friday, from
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and it
is located at the Wood
County Courthouse, One
Courthouse Square, Bowling
Green.

Talk Directly To The Owner
By Allison Barrick
When Tom Sparough of
Cincinnati realized that his
current occupation was not
satisfying, he decided to
transform his favorite pasttime into a career.
Mr. Sparough, also
known as the Space Painter,
performed the “Science of
Juggling” at the Holland
Branch Library on July 16.
He was joined by his
brother-in-law
Danny
Hoxsey of Lansing, Michigan, who played the guitar
during parts of the event.
The two had performed
together public for the first
time only the day before, explained Mr. Hoxsey.
“For me, this is kind of a
re-introduction,” he said,
noting that it had been some
time since he had performed.
However, Mr. Hoxsey
enjoyed the performances,
describing them as “infectious.”
“It’s been so much fun,”
he said.
This might have been a
new experience for Mr.
Hoxsey, but the Space
Painter has been in the business for 28 years and has
juggled for 40 years.
While his prior profession was sports reporting, he
and his wife wondered if he
could make his passion his
profession.
“We found out that we

The professional juggler
has traveled around the nation, sharing his skills and
passion.
He even has performed

Italy, Germany, Holland,
Canada, Mexico, Belize,
France and Japan.
Even though many of his

humor,” he said.
“Our World,” an art exhibit featuring watercolor and
pastel paintings by Betsy
Ford of Holland, is on display
at Inside Angles Custom
Framing Gallery, 6831 Angola Road, Holland.
Ms. Ford, at 90 years old,
is well known among artists
in the Toledo area, having
competed with them in
decades of art shows and donating countless hours to
local art organizations.
She first became interested in art when she was a
child. As an adult, she was
mother to six children and
spent most of her spare time
playing tennis. Physical developments forced her to give
up the sport, so she returned
to her first inspiration, art.
She took some classes in watercolors at the Toledo Mu-
seum of Art and soon was
joining and leading art organizations.
She is a member of the
Toledo Artist’s Club, Spectrum, The Toledo Women’s
Art League, and the NW
Ohio Watercolor Society. Her
work has also been displayed
in the area artists’ show at the
Toledo Museum of Art.
Ms. Ford takes a trip
somewhere in the world each
year with her daughter, who
also is a pleinaire painter.
They paint and photograph,
and enjoy many adventures.
Her exhibit is testament to
those trips with scenes from
Switzerland, Italy, Michigan,
Canada and the Galapagos Islands.
The one-man art exhibit at
Inside Angles will remain on
display until August 30.

RADAR
Radar is a cuddly attention lover looking for a
family to share her love
with. At one year old, she
is still very young. She
was brought to the shelter
because her owner died so
she is a little confused
about what is going on,
but this doesn’t stop her
from being a loving companion. She is cuddly and
loves to get her head
scratched. She prefers
lounging around to playing with toys and would love a home where she can be loved
again. She warms up to new people very quickly and has a
charming personality. Radar is spayed, current on her vaccinations and is microchipped.

Children learn about train safety in Safety Town program at Holloway Elementary
Children learned about
train safety at the Holland/Springfield Township
Safety Town program on
July 23. During the program held at Holloway Elementary, children learned
about safety procedures
and topics including fire,
electrical, school buses,
water, stranger danger,
medical emergencies and
safety around animals.
Top left, Steve Rathke
of Norfolk Southern mentioned the recent train derailment on Crissey and
stressed the importance of
safety around train tracks.
Other activities included: top right, lessons
in safety rules through a
minature town; far left,
painting small wooden
trains and left, story
telling.
From the Springfield Schools Treasurer
By Ryan Lockwood
I am honored and blessed
to return to service as the
treasurer of the Springfield
Local Schools. In my departure, I moved to a district that
had $15 million in excess revenue carryover, new facilities,
one-to-one laptops for fourth
through twelfth graders, and
minimal everyday challenges.
These areas make my job as a
treasurer easy. Unfortunately,
I prefer a more challenging
work experience. I can unequivocally say that my number one reason for returning
was the people.
The Springfield staff, students, and community make
the district an excellent place
to work. Facing the challenges of public education
with people you call friends
really does help with conquering problems and brainstorming solutions. I also
believe that the experience I
have gained in and out of the
district is an asset–especially
now as Springfield is facing
some very tough challenges.
Springfield also has tremendous human resources with a
dedicated Board of Education, talented administrators
and a community that genuinely wants what is best for
its children.
Why has the millage that
the district is asking for
changed over the last year?
School finance is not an exact
science. The financial wellbeing of any district across
the state is made up of many
pieces to a much larger puzzle. Unlike a traditional puz-

Another large legislative
piece to the puzzle, revolves
around the funding to educational service centers and
community/charter schools.
Educational service centers
typically provide unique services that would be cost-prohibitive for any one district to
take on alone. In the last biennium budget for the state,
educational service centers
lost large portions of state
funding. These funding
changes were not fully recognized at the local district level
until approximately January
2014 and have unfortunately
shifted more costs back to the
local district.
As for community and
charter schools, the state
makes a deduction from the
bi-monthly state foundation
payment for those Springfield
students that attend other
schools. Unfortunately, the
state does not deduct only the
state contribution of $2,492.
The state deducts an amount
equal to the state and local
share for each student. These
two state legislative changes
zle, each piece can shrink or
grow based on legislation
changes, enrollment changes,
property valuation changes,
and other areas of change.
Some of the change is phased
in and some of the change is
instant.
For example, if the district
enrollment increases by 100
students, the district’s state
foundation payment should
increase by approximately
$250,000 or the state contribution rate of $2,492 for a
Springfield Local School
District student. This rate is
different at every school district across the state and
changes from year to year.
Unfortunately, the cost to educate the additional 100 students is much more than
$250,000. Based on the district’s expenditure per pupil
rate of $9,021 per student, the
cost should be closer to
$900,000. The difference in
the Springfield Local School
District has to be made up
with additional property tax
revenue through increased
millage.

helped to increase the district’s purchased service
budget line item from $4.7
million in Fiscal Year 2013 to
$8.4 million in Fiscal Year
2014. This cost increase was
unexpected and occurred almost instantaneously over a
period of about six months
and within one fiscal year.
In the last year, Springfield Local Schools has regrettably been exposed to
cost increases that have occurred in more of a spontaneous fashion whether it is
from enrollment changes or
legislative changes.
The district does its absolute best to plan and devise
solutions for known fiscal
changes.
Unfortunately, the decreases in property tax revenue over the last few years
coupled with more recent legislative changes have put
Springfield Local Schools in
the tough spot of providing
each student in the district
with an exceptional education
without the financial means
to do so.
