Holland Springfield Chamber of Commerce hosts annual golf outing

Happy
Birthday,
America!

The Holland Springfield Chamber of Commerce held its 22nd annual
golf outing at Stone Oak Country Club on June 19. More than 80 golfers
participated in this year’s event. The outing featured several hole-in-one
prizes including Mercedes Benz and Ford Lincoln Mercury leases.
Twenty-one teams squared off against each other to see which would
take home top honors at the end of the day. Clockwise from top left, Scott

STEM participants explore science, technology,
engineering and math with hands-on activities
In June, students from
Penta Career Center’s 16member school districts with
an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and
Math (STEM) participated in
a unique summer camp.
About 100 area students
in grades seven through nine
enrolled in the hands-on
camp, exploring such areas
as computer hardware/networking, construction technologies, ag biotechnology,
geographic information systems (GIS), and green energy
management.
Each day, the students

fuel.

participated in a different
program. The programs were
designed to increase students’ understanding of how
science, technology, engineering and math skills are
used in a variety of career
fields, explained program
coordinator Kristie Reighard.
Some of the activities
included constructing/programming robots; designing,
building and testing trusses;
extracting DNA from strawberries; studying remote
sensing using Delta kites and
flip camcorders, and making
and burning bio-diesel fuel
from vegetable oil.
Constructing robots to
move over alien terrain
proved to be one of the more
challenging tasks for students. Students designed
their land rover from Lego
Mindstorms kits.
“The goal is for students
to build a robot, a Mars
Rover, that can navigate
through a simulated alien
world,” explained instructor
Ken Nelson.
During the morning session students learned the
basics of computer programming and device ideas for
robots. In the afternoon, students built their rovers based
on what they had learned in
the morning.
For Rossford residents
Kyle Michonowic, Clint
Huntermark and Drew Pinardo the task proved daunting.
After several hours of
design and assembly, the
boys still weren’t satisfied.
“It’s not working as well
as we want. It needs to make
sharper turns,” said Drew.
Mr. Nelson suggested a
modification to the design
from a four wheel to a three
wheel vehicle. The modified
design helped as the vehicle
navigated turns more readily.
In the ag biotechnology
room, students were busy
comparing packaging materials and testing the materials
in an egg drop.
“We tested the genetically
modified corn product
against foam peanuts to see
which cushions better,” said
instructor Whitney Short.
Students assembled boxes
and placed raw eggs in
resealable bags. Each student
then selected the material
which they thought would
better cushion the egg against
breakage.
They took the boxes to
the second floor of the career
center and dropped them on
the floor below.
Many students packaged
their eggs in foam peanuts,
believing it would better
cushion the eggs. Much to
their surprise the eggs broke.
Only an egg packaged by
Jacob Hertzfeld of Perrysburg survived, and it was
protected by the corn bioproduct.
In the green energy program instructor Vicki Miller
worked with students on a
bio-diesel fuel experiment.
They began the day by
making bio-diesel fuel from
vegetable oil. In the afternoon students compared the
bio-diesel fuel they created
against soybean fuel and fossil fuel.
They calculated the energy produced and compared
the results of the three types
of fuel against each other.
“Vegetable and soy produce less energy which
equates to fewer miles per
gallon,” explained Ms.
Miller.
But she said that they are
a cleaner fuel, noting that
certain fossil fuels such as
diesel are considered carcinogenic.
This is the fourth year for
the program. The camp is
offered at minimal cost to
students in Penta’s member
school districts which
include: Anthony Wayne,
Bowling Green, Eastwood,
Elmwood, Genoa, Lake,
Maumee, Northwood, North
Baltimore, Oak Harbor,
Otsego, Perrysburg, Rossford, Springfield, Swanton
and Woodmore.

Scott Woodstock, and Dave Tillman prepares to tee off with hopes of winning a two-year lease on a Mercedes Benz with a hole in one.
More than 80 area golfers
took to the links in 90-degree
weather June 19 to participate in the Holland Springfield Chamber of Commerce
22nd annual golf tournament.
Held at Stone Oak Country Club in Springfield
Township, the tournament
featured a competitive field
of golfers vying for top honors and awards.
First place went to the
team from Brondes Ford
Lincoln Mercury (Ed
Neumeyer, Joe Neumeyer,
Ray Fisher and Jeff Thompson) and second place went
to the Welch Publishing
Company/Holland-Springfield Journal team (Greg
Zielinski, Tyler Rudolph, Joe
Katich and Ryan Beckstead).
Rounding out the top
three was the team from
HMS, Inc (Tod Phillips, Tom
Sieler, Scott Walsh and Mike
Thompson).
Awards were given in
other categories as well. Tim
Villa took closest to the pin
honors for the men, and for
the women it was Stacey
Kuron.
Ryan Beckstead had the
longest drive for the men.
For the women that honor
went to Staci Bailey.
In the putting contest,
Carl Obst took top honors.
Although there were three
“Hole-In-One”

offered, including two cars
and a seven-day trip to
Hawaii, no one snagged any
of the prizes.

said Pat Hicks, chamber
president. “We also are
thankful to those businesses
who donated door prizes and
items for our golfer goodie
bags and to Stone Oak Country Club for its contribution
of our grand door prize–an
annual golf membership.”
The chamber director also
expressed her appreciation to
the golf outing committee
for organizing this year’s
event.
“I am truly indebted to
our fantastic golf committee
chaired by Arlene Gerig and
all our volunteers who
helped to make this tournament so much fun for our
golfers. They are amazing,
and I am fortunate to be able
to work with each of them.”

At the June 28 meeting,
the Springfield Board of
Education upheld a recommendation from the food service director to freeze meal
prices for the 2012-13 school
year.
Those prices are elementary–breakfast, $1 and lunch,
$2.45; middle school–breakfast, $1 and lunch $2.70, and
high school–breakfast, $1.10
and lunch, $2.70.
Dave Zambo provided the
board with an overview of
school lunches over the past
year, noting that the food service department began the
year with a balance of $2,568
and ended with $86,690.
He said breakfast sales
were up from the previous
year. “We sold 11,400 meals
over the previous year,” and
added that a large portion of
those sales were free and
reduced meals.
“Lunch followed the same
trend and was up a little,”
said Mr. Zambo.
Adult meal sales held
steady and a la carte sales
were down, he added.
Food services had no
equipment purchases in
2011-12. “It really helped
that we had no major purchases,” he said.
The department took in
$669,505 in total receipts and
received federal and state
reimbursements of $826,417.
“That is $97,000 over the
previous year,” Mr. Zambo
said.
The department also was
able to save money through
its Gordon Food Services/
HPS agreement with a savings of $3,566.
Last year, Springfield

the success of the tournament.
“We are so grateful for
another successful golf tournament this year,” she said,
adding, “Golf Pro Chuck
Radabaugh and his staff took
such good care of us and
although the weather was
hot, the beautiful day and the
various activities throughout
the event provided our
golfers with a terrific time on
the course.”

Members of Holland American Legion Post 646 celebrated Flag Day, June 14, at Spring

Berlincourt, Bill Stilwell and Jim Saunders. A poem was read by Karen Kicinski, member
of the Legion Auxiliary. Her granddaughter, Kensley Cowell, also attended. Mr. Berlincourt is Chef de Gare at 40 et 8 and stepped in at the last minute to lead the ceremony
due to the illness of the Holland Post commander. The Flag Day celebration was enjoyed
by the residents of Spring Meadows.
School lunch prices stay the same
Continued from page 1
valued at $318 to St. Paul’s
Outreach, and the department
lost food valued to $231 due
to a power outage at the high
school.
Mr. Zambo said receipts
and reimbursements, coupled
with no major purchases, enabled the department to finish
the year with a higher balance.
He noted that this school
year, the department will be
required to increase servings
for fruits and vegetables to
meet nutrition guidelines, but
believes with the federal reimbursement of 6 cents, the
department will be able to absorb the cost.
“I recommend keeping
breakfast and lunch prices the
same. I may need to tweak a
la carte items, but so far I’m
not looking at a significant
increase,” he concluded.
Board member Keiran
Menacher said, “Parents will
be happy that prices aren’t
going up.”
Food services employs 32
women in shifts ranging from
two to 8 hours.

Metroparks take first step toward placing levy on fall ballot
By Jane Maiolo
After careful consideration, the board of park commissioners
for
the
Metroparks of the Toledo
Area approved a resolution of
necessity to place a 0.9-mill
levy on the November 6 ballot.
“With the loss of general
park revenue and the expiration of the 2002-12 land
acquisition levy, it is my recommendation that the commissioners move forward
with the intention of a new
levy for the park system,”
said Stephen Madewell, park
district executive director.
He pointed out that for the
past several years, the
metroparks has seen a decline
in its revenue stream due to
lower property valuations and
the loss of intergovernmental
state funds.
The park director said the
metroparks employed Stanford H. Odesky & Associates
of Toledo to conduct a levy
evaluation.
Bonnie Berland, president
of the company, conducted in
early June telephone surveys
from likely November voters.
The firm completed 400
surveys and found that nearly
50 percent of the respondents
had visited a metropark one
or more times each month.
“That’s up by 10 percent,”
she said, adding that the
majority of voters have experienced the parks at some
time.
The most visited park is
Wildwood and the most frequent activity involves walking/running along the trails.
When asked to rate the
metroparks’ importance to the
region, respondents rated it
consistently in the top three
behind the Toledo/Lucas
County Public Library and
Toledo Zoo.
Participants were asked if
they were aware of ballot
issues this fall. “Threefourths have no awareness,”
she said, pointing out that
Imagination Station, the
Lucas County Office of
Aging, the library and Lucas
County Children Services are
all on the ballot in November.
The City of Toledo parks also
is considering a levy, she
added.
Ms. Berland said the city
parks could be an issue.
“There is confusion between
Waterville

Council is teaming with the
Waterville Rotary to sponsor
a street party, “Party Your

Waterville on July 7. The

The event will feature the

A $2 donation to the
Waterville Area Arts Council
is requested at the gate.
Beer and food provided by
several local restaurants will
be available for purchase.

what are Toledo parks and
what are metroparks. You
have to make sure you are
clear on that with voters.”
Those surveyed were
asked if they would support a
metroparks levy, which will
cost the owner of a $100,000
home about $27.56 annually.
Four in 10 initially were in
favor of a levy, she said.
The demographics of
those in favor were 18-34
year olds, park users and
those with a lower socio-economic status.
Supporters of the levy
believe the parks are important to the community. Those
opposed cited financial and
economic issues. “These are
issues you won’t be able to
fight,” she said.
Ms. Berland believes the
best way to promote the levy
is through effective messaging, reminding voters that the
parks are free to the public,
safe, have a strong ranger
presence and conserve/preserve natural resources.
“Those are some key messages,” she said, adding that
when these messages were
conveyed to respondents at
the end of the survey, 76
changed their initial vote
from no or undecided to a
positive vote.
After her presentation,
Commissioner Fritz Byers
asked whether respondents
had any negative reviews
specific to the parks.
Ms. Berland said the
biggest negative was taxes.
“People are pretty well taxed
out.”
Stan Odesky, company
CEO, said that historically
voters are split at one-third
between yes, no and undecided, adding that many do not
know the issues and make
decisions at the ballot box.
He advised the commissioners that if they are to
move forward with the levy,
they will need to get their
information out to the voting
public early.
“Keep in mind that with
this being a Presidential election, you need to be ready for
early voting,” he said.
Mr. Byers questioned
whether it is wise to place it
on the ballot with other
levies.
Mr. Odesky said Lucas
County voters tend to
approve levies that are considered good for the community and noted that the
metroparks levy amount is
low in comparison to other
levies such as Toledo Public
Schools.
He believes the park district will benefit from the
higher turnout.
Mr. Madewell also pointed out that the metroparks has
a “strong level of support.”
Other Business
In other business, the
commissioners:
•Purchased
15,000square-feet of sandstone cobbles at a cost of $28,000.
“The cobbles are being salvaged from a city street near
Middlegrounds Park and date
to 1812,” said Dave Zenk,
superintendent of parks.
“This was essentially considered waste from the city’s
perspective,” he added.
The cobblestones will be
stored and installed during
development of Middlegrounds.
In a related matter, the
commissioners approved the
transfer of $30,000 from the
general fund to the capital
construction fund to purchase
the cobblestones.
•Approved the purchase
of custom play structures
Fort Meigs will celebrate Independence Day
1813 on July 4. Visitors

The site will be open
from noon to 5 p.m.
Event admission is $8

Springfield High School third trimester honor roll
from Graphite Design/Build

Park for $105,000.
The local firm is designing a structure that will integrate natural scenes into the
play area.
“This is a local firm, and
it’s a nice thing to use local,”
said Mr. Madewell.
•Agreed to submit a grant
application to the Stranahan
Foundation. Park officials are
seeking $50,000 from the
foundation to use toward
replacement of the Manor
House roof at Wildwood
Park.
If received, the work
would take place next year,
said Denise Johnson, director
of visitor services.
•Granted an easement for
drainage and utility purposes
to Swanton Township. The
metroparks will receive $300
for the 770-square-foot parcel.
“The township is replacing a culvert at Girdham,”
explained Tim Schetter, land
planning and acquisition
manager.
•Approved the purchase
of five acres at 230
Schwamberger Road, Swanton from MJW, Inc. for
$42,500.
The parcel, which lies in
the Oak Openings greenway
features high quality swamp
forest and shrub/scrub wetlands. Water Resource
Restoration Sponsor Program
will
reimburse
the
metroparks for all acquisition-related costs, said Mr.
Schetter.
•Authorized the Lucas
County probate judge to
administer the oath of office
for park district employees

•Declared as surplus
inventory more than six vehicles and several pieces of

The items will either be

park services manager.

Bakeless Bake Sale raises funds for Toledo Opera
The Toledo Opera Guild’s Bakeless Bake Sale 2012 earned a record-breaking $3,613 in
less than three months, which more than doubles the previous high of several years ago.
The event was chaired by Heather Toner and based on an original concept by her when
her daughter, Calista Toner, suggested they work on an event together to benefit the
Toledo Opera. Ms. Toner, Calista and her peers, Wendy Kromer-Schell and the guild were
honored for their efforts in a Proclamation by Toledo Mayor Michael Bell. The Bakeless
Bake Sale also was featured on WTOL Channel 11’s “Morning Show.” Pictured, from left,

Addy is a female 1-yearold American Staffordshire
Terrier. She was transferred to the Toledo Area
Humane Society from the
Lucas County Dog Warden
so that she could find a new
home.
Addy has a ton of energy and needs a home
where she will get plenty of
attention and exercise. She
loves to play fetch and swim in the pool. Tennis balls are her
favorite toy. She will carry her tennis ball around in her mouth
while she goes on walks and will sometimes even try to pick
up more than one at the same time.
Addy gets along great with other dogs and would benefit
from having another active playmate. Her adoption fee includes a six-week “Good Manners” obedience class. Addy is
very smart and will pick up new commands quickly. If you’re
looking for a sweet and active companion, Addy might be a
great match for you. She has been spayed, examined by a
TAHS staff veterinarian, is current on her vaccinations, and is
microchipped.

Tools and tips to help older
adults plan summer outings
Recently, Ohio Department of Aging Director
Bonnie Kantor-Burman announced the availability of
tools and tips to help older
adults, or those traveling
with older adults or people
with special needs, to plan
safe and enjoyable outings
to great summer destinations
in Ohio. Tip sheets and
“Friend and Family Finder”
tool, available on the department’s Web site can help individuals, families and
groups plan ahead to ensure
a great time.
“Ohio is home to some of
the nation’s best amusement
parks, zoos, historical sites,
fairs and festivals, all of
which offer summer fun for
people of all ages,” said Director
Kantor-Burman.
“With these tools, we hope
to help all Ohioans get the
most from their vacations.
When you’ve planned well,
you get to spend more time
enjoying yourself.”
Some of the tips included
are:
•Check attractions’ Web
sites for maps, parking info
and tools to help plan your
visit.
•Ask in advance about
discounts for seniors and
veterans.
•Ask if there are any areas
of the venue that are not accessible for people with limited mobility.
•Bring along a list of
medications you take, along
with dosage information.
•Wear light-colored, cotton clothing and sunscreen.
•Drink plenty of fluids
and watch for signs of heatrelated illness.
•With a group, make sure
you have plenty of support
to ensure each person’s
safety.
•Agree upon a meeting
place and regular check-in
times.
The department also developed a “Friend and Family Finder” tool that each
person in a group can fill out
and carry with him. The tool
lists information that can
help reunite someone with
his group if separated.

Former high school tennis courts renovated
into new pickleball courts for local group
The former Rossford High School tennis courts on Glenwood Road,
above, have been leased by the Pickleball Club of Greater Toledo for their
new facility–the only permanent public pickleball courts in the
Toledo area.
Last month, the club renovated the courts converting them into six pickleball courts, shown below.
The Pickleball Club of
Greater Toledo has found a
permanent home and is welcoming new players to learn
this fast-growing racquet
sport.
The organization–with
members from across the
Toledo area–has renovated
the former Rossford High
School tennis courts on
Glenwood Road.
Marsha Koch and Connie
Mierzejewski serve as the
northwest Ohio ambassadors
to the USA Pickleball Association.
“I never played tennis, but
I love
this
game,” Ms.
Mierzejewski said. “It gives
me more stamina and flexibility–and really increases
my reaction time.”
She became interested in
the racquet sport at Tam-OShanter in Sylvania.
Pickleball’s origins in this
area began when Mike and
JoAnne Tressler of Toledo,
who are in their 70s, saw it
played in 2005 at the national
senior games in Pittsburgh.
Mr. Tressler has won gold
medals in racquetball and
table tennis at the national
senior olympics.
Since then, a group of
Toledo area pickleball play-
ers had been working with
the YMCA to schedule
games on other courts, taping down lines in order to
play.
“Tennis players usually
don’t want us on their
courts,” Ms. Mierzejewski
added.
Without any public pickleball courts in the Toledo
area, she wondered whether
the Rossford School District
would allow the old courts to
be converted after a new athletic complex was built.
“I thought ‘maybe,’ and
approached the board of education,” said Ms. Mierzejewski, who lives in
Rossford. “We had so many
people, we needed a permanent home.”
The club now has a fiveyear lease agreement with
the schools for the facility,
which was converted from
two old tennis courts into six
pickleball courts.
The next task for Ms.
Mierzejewski and Ms. Koch
was to develop a plan to raise
funds for court improvements.
They decided to create
charter memberships in the
organization, and within the
first month had 38 people en-
rolled.
“They come from all over
the
Toledo
area,” Ms.
Mierzejewski said.
Club members Al Hager
and Tom Wells worked with
Courtsmiths to design and
construct the new courts.
“We’re very pleased with
it–everybody’s impressed,”
she said.
Club board members are
Ms. Koch, Ms. Mierzejewski, Mr. Hager, Mr. Wells and
Sandy Kushma.
Ms. Mierzejewski is excited to introduce the sport to
new players.
She recently worked with
Brian Vorst, a high school
summer physical education
teacher, to teach about 50
students the basics of the
game during two class days.
“And they enjoyed it,” she
added.
The Wood County Committee on Aging offers instruction to seniors over the
winter indoors at the Rossford Community Recreation
Center.
Ms. Mierzejewski believes pickleball is a great
sport for all ages–and all
abilities.
The court is smaller than
a tennis court, which doesn’t
require as much running.
And since strategy is in shot
placement, a lot of power in
hitting is not needed, either.
[See rules in box].
“It’s not all run and
slam,” she explained. “And
we get a lot of old tennis
players with a bad shoulder
who can’t do an overhand
serve.”
Typically, pickleball players can be seen on the courts
Monday through Wednesday
evenings from 5 p.m. to dark,
Thursday mornings and Sunday afternoons.
New members are welcome to visit the facility and
“we don’t let anyone stand
and watch,” Ms. Mierzejewski said with a laugh.
“Our mission is to grow
the sport–we’ll take beginners. “It’s really a friendly
group.”
There is no charge for
child memberships, but they
must be accompanied by an
adult.
“We have an 11-year-old
who comes with his dad, and
he’s good enough to play
with the adults,” she said.
Interested players are invited to visit the Web site at

Pickleball combines badminton, tennis
and table tennis. The court is like badminton and tennis with a lower net. The
ball is plastic with holes. Game is 11
points.
Players are all ages with no need to be
strong, quick, tall or good at other sports.
You don’t need a powerful stroke because
the game is about shot placement and accuracy. If you don’t move well or are overweight, pickleball doubles is ideal.
The game was created in 1965 near
Seattle, to provide a game for the entire
family by co-inventors U.S. Congressman
Joel Pritchard, William Bell and Barney
McCallum. “Pickles” was the Pritchard
family dog that chased balls, and “Pickle’s
ball” became “pickleball.” Families first
played in yards, driveways and streets.
The lines: The baseline is the end of
the court. Any balls bouncing past this line
are out. Serves must be made behind this
line.
The non-volley zone: Seven feet from
the net, a line marks a non-volley zone.
Players cannot hit the ball without letting it
bounce first if a foot is between line and
net, or if steps into the zone after hitting
ball.
Scoring and winning: A team gets a
point when they win a rally they served.
When a point is won, the players of the
winning team switch sides. The first team
to 11 points wins, but you have to win by
two points.
The serve: The player on the right
serves first. The ball must contact the
paddle below the waist and must land in
the diagonally opposite court, past the
non-volley line.
The return: Receiving team must let a
ball bounce before returning serve. A
serving team must let a returned ball
bounce once more before hitting. It means
there will be two bounces in first two hits
of a rally.
Caregiver classes available
“Caring for the Caregiver,” a free, four-week series designed to help those
who are caring for the needs
of a friend or family member find personal meaning in
the experience, is being held
