This is the sixth year he has chaired the golf outing. More than 80 golfers participated in the 15th annual Springfield High School Athletic Boosters golf outing. Held at Heather Downs Country Club on August 10 and chaired by Lew Anderson, the event featured 18 holes of golf with cart, snacks, dinner and a 50/50 drawing. Prizes were awarded to the top scoring teams. First place went to the team of Mike Vargyas, Bobo Halasz, Mike Pruss and Todd Bishop. Awards were presented in other categories as well. Mike Gorey took closest to the pin for the men, and Tara Siebert took that honor for the women. John Siebert took the longest drive for the men. Brondes Ford donated a vehicle for the hole-in-one prize but the car went unclaimed as no one was able to sink a long shot.

Holland Village Council approved a contract with Resource Recovery Systems LLC of Kuhlman Road, Toledo, at an August 13 meeting. The facility accepts “single stream” recyclables, said Bob Simpson, village maintenance superintendent. “The guys don’t have to worry about sorting or separating the items,” he explained. Mr. Simpson calculated the single stream system will save 33 man hours each month. “It makes a big difference as to what we can get done around the village,” he said. Currently, three employees spend an entire day collecting and sorting recyclable materials in the village’s garbage truck. They have to travel three or four times back and forth to dump the items, Mr. Simpson explained. With the new system, he said, “By 1 p.m. we’ll be done with recycling.” The village conducted a trial run with the company during July. For five weeks of service, it cost $133.38. However, he noted that the cost of disposing recyclables is offset by how much the company receives from selling the materials. Please Recycle This Newspaper “It’s based on how much the commodities pay,” he said, noting that aluminum is much more valuable than cardboard. Council President Lee Irons questioned whether the village’s decision would affect Lucas County recycling services. Mayor Mike Yunker said he spoke with Jim Shaw of the Lucas County Solid Waste District about the impact. “Lucas County is striving to go to a single stream,” the mayor said. “He understands where communities are headed toward, and he’d like to get several [single stream] dropoff points.” Other Business In other business, council: •Heard from Mayor Yunker that the road improvement project on Almaine and Georgianna will be completed. The village recently was notified that it will receive a $230,000 grant from the Ohio Public Works Commission toward the $470,000 project. Initially, the grant was denied, but with the acknowledgement that if all the OPWC funds were not spent by communities, then Holland could receive funding. “We’re the fortunate receivers of this,” the mayor added. Council voted unanimously to accept the grant. •Approved a $32,458 contract with Midwest Contracting of Albon Road for paving an area behind the new maintenance building being constructed. Mr. Simpson said the asphalt pavement would end the problem of trucks and equipment dragging stones and mud into the maintenance buildings, which must continually be swept out. He also noted that it is difficult to plow snow in the stone lot during the winter. “The whole look of the complex is going to be cleaner and neater,” he added. The area to be paved is south of the salt building near the railroad tracks. Councilman Roger Burditt questioned how the additional pavement would affect stormwater run-off into the ditch along the railroad. Mayor Yunker responded that there will be a grassy area between the edge of the pavement and the ditch which can absorb rainwater. •Heard from Mayor Yunker that the new pickleball courts in Strawberry Acres Park are getting frequent use. He said 23 people have signed up to play on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and last Saturday he noted about 20 people were playing the new game. “If you go out there with a paddle, they’ll invite you to play,” he said, encouraging more village residents to $20.00 per year visit the new courts. Paddles and balls are available to residents for check out at the village office, 1245 Clarion Avenue, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. •Heard from Mayor Yunker that all of the clothing collection bins stationed around the village have been removed. “These companies just drop them off–they don’t even ask,” he said. “It becomes a dumping ground.” The bins will be stored for 30 days by the village and then discarded, if not picked up by their owners. Police officers will be watching to assure new bins are not placed in Holland, the mayor said. •Learned that the Kipling Drive road improvement project is nearing completion. Mayor Yunker said the work from the creek to Clark Avenue is completed. However, during the excavation, the sanitary sewer was discovered to be 80 to 90 percent clogged, he explained. Lucas County officials were contacted and the lines were cleaned, he added. •Approved $157,786 in bills for the month, including $84,000 for the Kipling Drive project. Council’s next meeting is 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, September 10. The meeting is open to the public at the village hall, 1245 Clarion Avenue. Penta Career Center BOE approves district goals By Jane Maiolo At the August 14 meeting, the Penta Career Center board of education approved three district goals which were developed following a site review of the High Schools that Work (HSTW) program. Those goals are: •To increase opportunities for planned and purposeful staff collaboration with emphasis on instructional quality that increases student achievement; •To provide, through collaboration, sustained professional development based on district goals and the use of technology in the classroom, and •To adopt a master schedule (delivery of instruction) providing for increased student achievement aligned with Penta expectations, Ohio Department of Education expectations and aligned with current research utilizing best practices. Superintendent Ron Matter said the HSTW committee worked on the review process for months. “It’s very powerful work that came out of that group,” he added. Scott Carpenter, HSTW coordinator, said the site review team sorted through 297 pages of data describing outstanding practices and major challenges to increasing student achievement. “Through this self-study, we have identified what the school has done and what it plans to do to implement HSTW key practices that support the school improvement plan and meet Ohio and federal requirements,” he explained. The team noted six key practice areas in which Penta has been observing outstanding practices. Those are extra help, teachers working together, extra help and career-technical/academic studies, career-technical studies, guidance and students actively engaged. “The district received the highest rating on the key practices,” said Mr. Carpenter. “The HSTW leadership team, however, recognizes that continued focus is needed in these areas and is highly linked to improved student achievement.” He recommended three action steps or goals that the team believes will improve student learning and achievement. Debra Schneider, project manager, of the northwest Ohio HSTW regional office, commended the team and career center staff for their work on the site review process. “It’s a great way to understand what is going on, and the collaboration was phenomenal,” she said. “You’re doing some great things.” Other Business In other business, the school board: •Approved the employment of several certificated personnel. They are adult education instructors John Haver Jr., machine trades, Gregory Sharp, marine skills, and Earl Stevens, welding instructor–all $18 per hour; Ariana Sampsel, long-term substitute math teacher, and Jane Dorfmeister and Jessica FreebornTille, after school detention–$27 per hour. The board also approved the hiring of Cynthia Covington and Debra Morris at 2.5 percent salary increases for 2013-14 and Bradley Luebcke, 1.5 percent wage increase for 2013-14. •Accepted the resignation of Sam Cotterman, instructional aide, effective July 24. Mr. Cotterman accepted a teaching position at Perrysburg Schools, explained Mr. Matter. •Hired support personnel. They are cafeteria substitutes–Margaret Carstensen, Nancy Kolodziejski, Amy Lach, Cynthia Marquis and Eric Young, $11.29 per hour; job coach substitutes –Dianna Hillabrand and Linda Ohrt, $11.13 per hour, and substitute secretary Sue Claburn, $14.96 per hour. The board also employed instructional aides Adranne Blaze, Shawn Hayes and Carrie Moenter, $14.91 per hour, and Duncan Slater, maintenance, $14.58 per hour. •Appointed board member Ken Sutter as delegate for the Ohio School Boards Capital Conference and Bob Righi as the alternate. •Received an update on the wireless project from Caleb Grills, Internet technology supervisor. “We’re trying to keep it as internal as possible,” he said, adding that no one should be able to connect to the wireless Internet system outside the building. •Heard from Rich Birt, supervisor of operations, that the campus is ready for opening day. Construction also is progressing on the land lab storage building near the landscape department, which should be complete in 30 days. •Approved guest service fees for 2013-14. A variety of programs offer services to the public, such as automotive, hair design, culinary, early childhood and construction. •Placed under 30-day review courses of study for computer hardware and networking, geographic information systems, interactive media, science and social studies. •Approved as interns for the fall semester, Corbin Brangham, University of Toledo, science; Stephen Brown, Bowling Green State University, business educa- tion, and Christina Reisinger, BGSU, business and marketing education at Anthony Wayne satellite program. •Presented Kendra Wolf, a small animal care student from Perrysburg Schools, with a certificate of recognition for being named a 2013 Career Technical Success Story by the Ohio Department of Education’s office of career technical education. •Approved nine requests to attend professional meetings. The next meeting of the board will be at 5:15 p.m., Wednesday, September 11, at the board meeting room, 9301 Buck Road, Perrysburg Township, and is open to the public.

The enforcement blitz began Friday, August 16, and continues through Labor Day. During the enforcement period, law enforcement partners have planned more than 7,000 enforcement hours and more than 900 hours of saturation patrols around the state. “Law enforcement partners across the state will be out in full force to ensure people are making the right decisions on our roads,” said Ohio Department of Public Safety Director John Born. “Impaired driving is a serious matter, and the message is clear–drive sober or get pulled over.” According to provisional data, 494 people died in 453 OVI-related crashes on Ohio’s roads in 2012. Impaired drivers were involved in 44 percent of all fatal traffic crashes. “We can’t fight the battle against impaired driving on our own–we need your commitment to make our roads safer,” said Colonel Paul A. Pride, patrol superintendent. “You can contribute to a safer Ohio by actively influencing friends and family to make safe, responsible decisions– like planning ahead to designate a driver and insisting that everyone in the vehicle is buckled up.” The national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown is a program organized by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and focuses on combining highvisibility enforcement with heightened public awareness through advertising and publicity.

Congressman Latta sponsors legislation to drive down energy costs Congressman Bob Latta recently introduced the Energy Employment and Security Act of 2013, a bill that seeks to increase domestic oil production, drive down gas prices, repeal onerous energy development policies and mandates, and reduce bureaucratic delays that obstruct the refining and permitting process. “Hardworking Americans, small business owners, and farmers across Ohio’s Fifth Congressional District feel the negative impacts of escalating gas prices on their budgets. Unstable gas prices and high energy costs result in a host of negative day-today impediments that make everything from groceries to commuting to work more ex- pensive. It is imperative that we implement policies that make energy more affordable for American families,” said Congressman Latta. The bill will curb increased gas prices and create downward pressure on the cost of oil by allowing America to take advantage of its vast domestic oil resources while preserving the free market, and reducing unnecessary government interference. “We need a true all-of-theabove approach, one that includes allowing America to utilize our domestic energy resources to provide relief at the pump while creating new jobs and improving U.S. energy security. Recent technological advances in the energy sector have opened up access to once unavailable domestic sources of energy, and specifically in Ohio, this energy renaissance has led to a number of positive economic benefits in small towns and communities,” Mr. Latta said. Specifically, this bill expands access in the Outer Continental Shelf, opens up ANWR to exploration and production, establishes a streamlined process for permitting and lease sales, increases access to onshore oil, including shale oil, blocks burdensome and unnecessary regulations, and simplifies the judicial review process to limit frivolous environmental litigation on leasing and permitting that would indefinitely halt energy production.

Owens registered nursing program regains accreditation Owens Community College recently received official notice from the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), formerly the National League Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC), that the registered nursing program has regained initial accreditation through spring 2018. “Owens has always maintained a quality nursing program and as a result, being granted accreditation status has been a priority,” said Dawn Wetmore, dean of the School of Nursing. “We have put in a tremendous amount of effort to make sure we have met all of the required standards while continuing to ensure that students are receiving the highest quality nursing education at Owens Community College.” As part of its commitment to the ACEN guidelines, Owens has increased its nursing faculty from 25 to 35 fulltime members–six clinical teaching faculty and four lab faculty–all of whom have master’s degrees in nursing. Owens has enhanced its data collection, analysis and action taken related to data results for the registered nursing program in the Systematic Plan of Evaluation (SPE) to track the program’s effectiveness. The college converted the former nursing department into a School of Nursing in an effort to increase accountability. The students in the School of Nursing receive advising services from a full-time advisor. Owens registered nursing students who have taken the National Council Licensing Exam (NCLEX-RN) have traditionally had high passage rates. To exemplify this, during the first two quarters of 2013, 80 students passed the exam on the first attempt, resulting in a 95.4 percent pass rate, which exceeds both the national and state passage rates.

Jazz musician, children’s author to visit Toledo Aug. 29 The Toledo-Lucas County Public Library has announced a special appearance by noted jazz master Delfeayo Marsalis, of the legendary Marsalis family of New Orleans, to debut his children’s book “No Cell Phone Day.” The jazz trombonist and children’s author is scheduled to read his new book at 10 a.m. on Thursday, August 29, in the Children’s Library at Main Library, 325 Michigan Street. This event is free and open to the public. The book addresses the idea of imposing technology and how it can affect relationships with loved ones. In the book, Mr. Marsalis and his daughter decide to put down their cell phones for a day to explore their home town of New Orleans. Along the way, the father and daughter see the sites, hear the sounds and enjoy all of the things The Big Easy has to offer. More importantly, the two spend quality time together. In addition to his life as a jazz musician and author, Mr. Marsalis has been involved in work as an educator. In 2004, he earned an master of arts degree in jazz performance at the University of Louisville and was conferred a doctorate by New England College in 2009. He lectured in schools in 1995 on behalf of the Dallas Opera and the Bravo cable network. He served as director of the Foundation for Artistic and Musical Excellence summer program in Lawrenceville, New Jersey (1998-2002), founded the Uptown Music Theatre in 2000, and implemented its Kidstown After School in three New Orleans grammar schools in 2009. He has composed more than 80 songs that help introduce children to jazz. His library appearance was arranged through the partnership of the Art Tatum Jazz Heritage Society.

The event will feature casino-style games with celebrity dealers, hors d’oeu- vres buffet, music, live auction, cash bar, lottery tree and prizes. Trailblazer Adventure Day event to be held in Whitehouse Sept. 21 COC reschedules Casino Night al u n h An t 48 Rai n or Important paintings of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry and his great naval victory during the War of 1812 are part of a Toledo Museum of Art exhibition that commemorates the bicentennial of the Battle of Lake Erie. “Perry’s Victory: The Battle of Lake Erie,” is on view through November 10, in Galleries 28 and 29. It features paintings, prints, sculpture, artifacts, letters and music on loan and from the museum’s permanent collection. The free exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see the heroically scaled painting Perry’s Victory on Lake Erie (1814) by Thomas Birch so close to the actual battle site. The painting depicts a critical moment just before the British squadron surrenders to the victorious Perry in the fall of 1813. Another highlight is TMA’s own striking portrait Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry (1818–28) by American portrait painter Gilbert Stuart and his daughter Jane. It was the outcome of the dramatic battle that led to Perry becoming a national hero and joining a stream of famous Americans whose portraits Stuart painted, among them, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Organized by Edward Hill, special projects assistant in the chief curator’s office, the exhibition is accompanied by a series of films, presentations and other activities. A Perry’s Victory Party for Museum members is planned on the evening of September 10, the actual 200th anniversary of the military battle. Historians often describe the War of 1812 as the Second War of Independence: a reaction to the continuing British attacks on and seizures of American vessels and seamen, and the likely British role in encouraging Native Americans in the northwestern frontier to rebel against American expansion. Not only was the U.S. national anthem, the Star-Spangled Banner, inspired by the war, but victory over Britain also confirmed the young nation’s sovereignty. Some of the most decisive events of the war on the sored by the Toledo Fair Housing Center and the University of Toledo College of Law. Forty-five years after the passage of the Fair Housing Act, most housing in America remains segregated along racial lines. The forum will allow the four candidates for mayor of Toledo to share their vision for creating Neighborhoods of Opportunity.

Toledo mayoral candidate Gleaning days food program forum set for August 22 X-PERT PERFORMANCE Shin e! frontier were the naval battles, as command of the Great Lakes was critical for success in the northwest. One of the most famous victories was achieved at the Battle of Lake Erie on September 10, 1813, by the young Perry with the capture of a British fleet of six vessels, giving control of the lake and its important transportation routes to the United States. The centennial of the victory was celebrated in 1913 with a major exhibition in the then recently completed Toledo Museum of Art building on Monroe Street. Portraits, battle scenes and historical objects were brought together to recognize the event. Yet as large as the exhibition was, a major painting depicting a turning point in the battle–Perry’s Victory on Lake Erie by Birch–was not in the show. For the bicentennial exhibition, the museum has secured the loan of the painting from the collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. Admission to the museum and the exhibition is free. -!% #), %$+#$'" (& Repair Specialist 419.878.2249 Ralph Slaske, Owner • www.SlaskeBuilding.com See the Area Business Guide on the Web at: Hollandsfj.us Habitat home construction begins in Holland NOTICE TO CONSUMERS In answering advertisements, whether in publications, or television, be aware that 1-900 numbers have a charge that will be billed to your telephone number. 1-800 numbers that switch you to a 1-900 number are also billed to you.

She enjoys being held and will cuddle in your arms, purring her appreciation. Eliza doesn’t mind living with other cats and she prefers to sit on the higher perches so that she is sure to be seen when new visitors enter the room. Eliza has plenty of love to give; all she needs is a person willing to accept it. She has been spayed, examined by a TAHS staff veterinarian, is current on her vaccinations, and is microchipped.

Presented by the Perrysburg Area Chamber of Commerce, the one day event is expected to attract more than 10,000 people for the juried arts and crafts, business and community organization booths, parade, live musical entertainment, children’s art activities and “Taste of Perrysburg” food vendors. New this year, Main Artery will coordinate the “Rally for the Arts” portion of the festival. “We are very excited that Main Art-ery is onboard for Harrison Rally Day,” said Sandy Latchem, chamber executive director. “This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase quality professional artists. There are many other art festivals, but this one-day event is different. We have community booths and business booths on one end of Louisiana Avenue and arts business booths on the other end of the avenue. Our goal is to create a balance and become the best event of the year for the community and surrounding area. It offers festival-goers something for everyone.” Robin Ballmer, former executive director of the Perrysburg Area Arts Council, is a volunteer consultant assisting the chamber and Main Art-ery with Rally for the Arts. “We want to exceed the surrounding art festivals in the area,” said Ms. Ballmer. “The advantage that we have over the others is that Harrison Rally Day is a genuine community event. We want to preserve the uniqueness of our one-day celebration of the arts and commerce. We plan to take the arts area to new heights this year.” The goal for Rally for the Arts is 80 booths of art that meet the criteria of original, handmade artwork falling into categories of fine art, fine craft, as well as unique crafters who sell artful handmade functional and wearable art, added Ms. Ballmer. Main Art-ery is focusing on bringing new artists to Rally for the Arts. According to Ms. Ballmer, the festival will feature new artists and artwork never seen before at the show.
