On April 16, several hundred Springfield HIgh School juniors and seniors celebrated Prom 2016 at the Premier Banquet Hall in Toledo. The year’s theme, “Frame the Moment,” featured the crowning of the king and queen–seniors Timothy Franchetti and Alexis Powhida. Following the dance, students enjoyed After Prom activities at the high school. The theme “Star Wars” was based on the popular series of film trilogies.

Last week, village officials hosted an open house to display plans for the project and allow residents to ask questions. At the April 19 Holland Village Council meeting, the mayor said Springfield Schools and Springfield Township Fire Department have been notified of the closure. He plans to maintain a lane for police and fire vehicles to cross the tracks on Holloway, as long as motorists don’t attempt to cut through the construction zone. Work will be completed in two phases: phase one covers the area from the railroad tracks to the driveway of the village hall to be completed by mid-June, and phase two from the village hall to the driveway of the American Legion post on Clarion to be finished in August. Workers will be on-site from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, with Saturday a make-up day if it rains. The schedule will allow the Strawberry Festival parade to take place as usual, the mayor noted. The parade on Sunday, June 19, will occur just as phase one is completed and phase two has yet to begin. “It can go on as scheduled with no route change,” he added. The mayor said the viewing area from residents’ yards may be impacted, though, and those areas will be blocked off with barricades. The area will be accessible to the 20-some residences affected by the project, as well as two businesses: Fire Nation and the Holland-SpringfieldSpencer Historical Society. “Residents are encouraged to find alternate parking areas during construction,” Mayor Yunker said, adding the parking lots on both sides of the village hall are available. The only time residents will not have vehicular access is when the concrete is poured, which takes seven days to cure. Any handicapped residents or those with home medical treatments should contact the on-site engineer who will help to arrange for admittance as needed. Council decided to cancel the Community Garage Sale days on May 12 to 14, because of traffic difficulties, and rescheduled it for September 15 to 17. Mayor Yunker said the unlimited pickup during the week of May 16 will take place as planned. “Our maintenance crew can work around that road work,” he explained. Village council’s next meeting will be at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, May 3, in council chambers, 1245 Clarion Avenue and is open to the public. orated the fieldhouse and cafeteria which were alive with games and activities until the wee hours of the morning.

Fire chief addresses drug abuse issue New signage planned for fire stations Springfield Township’s three fire stations are about to be electrified outdoors. At the April 18 meeting, the trustees approved LED replacement signage for each station. The double face, internally illuminated signs are being purchased for $20,000 each from National Illumination and Sign Corporation of Holland. Fire Chief Barry Cousino said the current signs are 20 years old and “in need of serious repair.” He noted that a worker was injured recently while replacing the lettering in one of the signs. “I think it’s best if we do all three,” he said, adding that the company has included a 5 percent discount on the purchase. The firm also recommended purchasing the signs at the same time since technology could change, making it challenging electronically to program them. The chief said the current bases can be used at each station: No. 1, 802 South McCord Road; No. 2, 1534 South Crissey Road, and No. 3, Garden and Holloway roads. Drug Addiction Chief Cousino addressed the issue of drug abuse in the community and DART (Drug Abuse Response Team). DART is an innovative program established by the sheriff’s office in partnership with the Ohio attorney general, Lucas County prosecutor’s office, Mental Health and Recovery Services board and others. “Law enforcement officers are dispatched directly to hospitals to work with people who have overdosed and their families to guide them to addiction resources for housing and long-term recovery,” the chief explained. “The goal is to divert these individuals from the criminal justice system into appropriate treatment.” Chief Cousino said drug abuse is epidemic in the region, noting that at their peak last year, the department responded to four to six overdoses each week.

SHS student arrested following assault on school resource officer A 15-year-old youth was arrested following an altercation at Springfield High School on April 18. The boy allegedly assaulted the school resource officer, Deputy Nathaniel Floure, in the cafeteria last Monday afternoon when the deputy attempted to escort the boy from the area. According to the Lucas County Sheriff’s office, the juvenile was intoxicated when he punched and kicked the deputy. The student was taken to the hospital as a precaution before being transported to the Lucas County Juvenile Detention Center. He faces charges of resisting arrest, assaulting an officer and carrying a concealed weapon. A carpenter’s knife was found with his belongings. Following the incident, Superintendent Dr. Michael O’Shea said the school’s code of conduct and disciplinary process is being followed, but declined further comment due to the ongoing investigation.

I can attest to that in this township.” The trustees asked if there was a significant group abusing heroin. Chief Cousino said overdoses come from all demographics–upper and lower economic classes, all age groups and employed/unemployed. “A lot of them are 20 to 40 years old, and many got started with prescription pain killers. And when they can’t get them anymore, they turn to heroin as an inexpensive alternative. It’s scary.” And he noted how quickly victims can overdose. “You’d be surprised at the percentage that still have the needle in their arm when we arrive.” Administrator Leslie Kohli reminded the trustees that the Holland-Springfield Chamber of Commerce will host a symposium on the problem at noon, Thursday, May 19, at Stone Oak Country Club.

There were 257 EMS and 34 fire calls. Of those, 37 were in Holland–36 EMS and one fire call. The majority of fire calls pertained to standby and false calls, seven each, followed by confined fires, good intent and smoke scares, three apiece. EMS calls were largely for ill persons, 73; injured persons, 41; difficulty breathing, 24; unconscious, 21; assist, 20; injury accident, 19, and cardiac, 18. In the village, EMS calls were for ill or injured persons, 18, followed by attempt, cardiac, difficulty breathing and unconscious, three each. The lone fire call was a false call. The department conducted 53 inspections last month, including 48 annual inspections. They also investigated three structure fires. Two occurred in the kitchen and were determined to be from cooking and a third broke out in a crawl space and was ruled electrical in nature. Other Business In other business, the trustees: •Learned that Chief Cousino and Deputy Chief Rick Helminski attended the Transportation Rail Incident Preparedness and Response seminar in Bowling Green. The seminar provided information on best practices in rail incidents involving hazardous materials, the chief explained. He obtained a list of standard rail commodities, and plans to train personnel on how to handle those spills. •Discussed the interstate construction meeting attended by the fire chief and deputy chief. The chief said an overview of construction projects in the region was provided. “Some of the most noted projects in the Holland/ Springfield area include the McCord Road underpass and the U.S. Route 23 widening project from Dussel Drive to the Angola Road overpass,” he added. •Announced that 40 Kroger employees were trained in CPA and fire safety by the township’s outreach coordinator and fire prevention officer. –Jane Maiolo Holland Community Newe!

The funds went toward the high school’s Prom and After Prom. McDonald’s donates funds to SHS Prom/After Prom Springfield students attending this year’s Prom and After Prom on April 16 enjoyed the festivities due in part to contributions from area businesses including McDonald’s. On April 15, management from the restaurant at 6555 Airport Highway presented members of the junior class and Prom committee with a check for $1,000. Emily Lenart, junior class president, expressed her appreciation on behalf of the class that is responsible for organizing the Prom. “We are very, very thankful to McDonalds,” she said. Emily credited class of 2017 advisors Jeannine Petcoff and Dorianne Cox who contacted the restaurant about a potential fund-raiser. “We did fund-raisers at the restaurant on March 15 and 22 with a percentage of purchases going toward Prom,” Emily explained. Ms. Petcoff said the fundraiser was one of many organized by the junior class over the past three years to offset the cost for Prom. Other fund-raisers included a $1 pie in a teacher’s face, candy bar sales and powder puff football. The goal of the fund-raisers is to reduce the cost for students to attend Prom, she said. Ms. Petcoff, who hopes to work with McDonald’s on future fund-raisers, was excited about the amount raised. “Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this donation,” she said.

By William Renwand, principal Musical Melodies at Holloway The halls were alive with the sound of music– no, that’s not a typo, just a little play on the classic, beloved Julie Andrews film. Holloway Elementary School’s first grade and second grade students recently hosted guests at their spring evening concerts. The programs were prepared by and directed by Kelly Barkhimer, Holloway’s music teacher. Family members and friends filled the gym to listen to the students’ performances. The evening event was split in to two performances. First graders performed earlier in the evening followed by the second grade concert an hour later. One of the highlights was the parent participation song were several guests were invited up to the stage to be part of the “One Bottle of Pop” song. Many music concepts can be taught while performing, and it is great developmental step to present in front of an audience. Some of the basic concepts covered in music are: beat, rhythm (long and short sounds), pitch (note name recognition), harmony, expressive elements (tempo and dynamics), breath control, form, music history, following a conductor, playing and singing in a group and playing alone. A special thanks to Mr. Barile, a parent of Holloway, who donated the use of the sound equipment to make the productions a hit. Congratulations to all of our student performers for a great job on their spring musical concert.

HOLLAND-SPRINGFIELD JOURNAL — April 26, 2016 — Page 5 From the desk of Dr. Michael O’Shea, Superintendent of Springfield Schools Springfield Pride … Pass It On! It was almost one year ago that I used this space to share my thoughts with the greater Holland-Springfield community, all 27,857 of us, on all that we have to be proud of and grateful for. In that message, I offered my impressions as a resident of this community–rich in traditions and blessed with a wonderful blend of citizens from various cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. Collectively we have built a community that is a gem in northwest Ohio. In many respects, we have created a model for others to emulate. Springfield pride, or #springfieldstrong as I refer to in most of my messages, is an emotion difficult to explain. For those who have experienced it, though, there is no better feeling. The centerpiece of that pride, as it is in most places, is the quality of our schools. Our schools have excelled in recent years thanks to the collective efforts of our faculty and staff, parents, and the partnerships we’ve created to provide children with an exceptional educational experience. Today, 11 months later and thanks to both stellar community support and passage of an emergency levy The Ohio Department of Agriculture has issued a stopsale order for propane deliveries from propane trucks owned and operated by Thrifty Propane. The order prohibits the use of any and all Thrifty Propane trucks throughout Ohio for commercial (sales or delivery) purposes unless approved by the department. Following up on complaints that Thrifty Propane overcharged customers for the quantity of propane actually sold and that the company was operating trucks which were not properly licensed or in- Call today for a FREE www.RbAofToledo.com Brandy Bilek and her children. I AM #springfieldstrong Name: Brandy Bilek Position: Third grade; teacher for 13 years–Dorr Honors: Master Teacher, Foundation Grant Recipient, RESA Evaluator Favorite Subject in School: Reading Personal: Mrs. Bilek loves spending time with her family (husband, two wonderful children) making trips for ice cream and swimming with friends. She still loves to read and plans to include more trips to DisneyWorld, a family favorite. Comments: Mrs. Bilek is “homegrown,” a 1999 graduate who chose to return to her roots to nurture/teach children. She is a favorite of colleagues because she works very hard every day to learn and to become an even better teacher. She leads several initiatives at Dorr including Olweis and RTI, she is a mentor teacher and an entry-level teacher mentor. It is her love for reading and her firm/gentle guidance that helps young students develop strong foundations in character that endears her to parents. She is True Blue and #springfieldstrong! Holland residents appointed Stop sale order issued for Thrifty Propane deliveries to Girl Scout members-at-large Maintenance free & historically accurate Visit us at: last May, the school district is beginning to emerge from the precarious financial situation caused by reductions in revenue sources, unfunded mandates, increased costs associated with new content standards, and cumbersome state testing requirements… to name just a few. Our community has made great strides with efforts to become reunited. The past contested levy campaigns served only to fracture neighborhoods. Perhaps that is what inspired this column. I suspect that all share with me the pleasure of witnessing bridges being formed in Holland/Springfield that will return the health and vitality to both our school system and community. Eleven months ago both I and Treasurer Ryan Lockwood asked the community to give us a chance to resolve the complex issues that faced us at that time. We promised to right the ship, and we are doing so. We also are working with colleagues throughout the state of Ohio to address the inequities of the state’s current public education funding model. There is much yet to be done–but we have accomplished much in these past 11 months. Stay tuned to learn what is next in store for #springfieldstrong. design consultation CALL (419) 931-6970 spected, the department’s Division of Weights and Measures ordered the company to bring all of their propane trucks for testing and recertification in January. After the company failed to comply for two months, the stop-sale order was issued on April 5. The state’s metered truck testing and licensing laws, overseen help ensure that consumers are always receiving the amount of product they are paying for. Consumers who have concerns about deliveries before or after the stop-sale order issued on April 5 should contact the department’s Division of Enforcement at 614-7286240. Two Holland residents are among six new appointees to the Girl Scouts members-atlarge. They are Angela Granata of Luminous Wealth Management and Barbara Oostra. On April 21, the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio announced the election of three new board of directors officers, six new members-atlarge to its 23-member board and one new board development committee member. “We’re honored to have such a strong group of business, academic and non-profit professionals serving this coming year," said Roni Luckenbill, chief executive officer of Girl Scouts of Western Ohio. “The diversity of their expertise will be invaluable as we develop strategic priorities that seek to make it possible for every girl to benefit from the amazing programs Girl Scouts offers throughout western Ohio.” Girl Scouts of Western Ohio serves more than 42,000 girl members in 32 counties throughout western Ohio and southeast Indiana.

Holland resident Matthew Smith is among the fourmember team from the Bowling Green Curling Club that is headed to national competition in Pennsylvania next month. The Bowling Green Curling Club will field both a men’s and a women’s team in the upcoming Arena National Curling Championships, set for May 10 to 15, at the Ice Line Arena in West Chester. “We are very excited to have two teams representing our club at Arena Nationals this year,” said Shannon Orr, club president. “Both teams Bereavement support group to meet An Ecumenical Bereavement Support Group will meet on Tuesday, May 3, from 3 to 4:30 p.m., at St. Patrick of Heatherdowns Parish, Emmaus Room, 4201 Heatherdowns Boulevard, Toledo. “Circle of Grief” will be led by Rita Hoff, St. Patrick of Heatherdowns bereavement team. The mission of the group is to offer support to people who are grieving the death of a loved one.

Tournament selection is made based on application and lottery. This event was initiated four years ago, in recognition that the ice in arenabased clubs poses more challenges than dedicated club ice, and the majority of club growth in the U. S. is occurring on arena ice. “Arena” ice is shared between hockey, skating and curling. “We have a very supportive and encouraging club, and new members are always welcome,” Ms. Orr said. “We hope more folks will come and try one of our learn-to-curl.” Mr. Smith, a financial consultant and business owner has curled with the BGCC for six seasons. He first learned about the sport during the Olympic games. “I was a former college athlete, and I missed the all-day basketball games and things that athletes do when they are together,” he said. “Bowling and softball weren’t doing it for me so I announced to several friends one day that I was going to Get outdoor cats fixed & vaccinated for FREE! Benefits: • • • • Prevents unwanted kittens Healthier cats Minimizes noise and odor Natural rodent control do this. Six years later, I still am,” he added. Curling dates to the 16th century and is one of the fastest growing sports in the country, in part for its accessibility to curlers of all ages and physical abilities. A sport of precision, curling is sometimes referred to as “chess on ice,” and requires a combination of strategy, finesse, teamwork and camaraderie. Teams must deliver each 40-pound curling stone across more than 100 feet of ice and assure it comes to rest in a specific location. Mere inches can make the difference between loss and success. “Curling is a great sport,” said Ms. Orr. “It’s easy to learn, but challenging to master.” She noted that curlers enjoy the “thrill of throwing a great rock or hearing your rock crash into another one and knock it out of play.” Mr. Smith agreed, adding that curling is a sport for people of all ages. “Anyone who has ever been to a tournament in Canada knows that is the case. There are some incredible athletes who curl.” He continued, “ I find it a great combination of strength, endurance, strategy and patience. It’s a sport where teammates can really pick each other up and where if you have a bad shot, you can make up for it.” He encourages area resi- dent to learn more about the sport. “If you have any athletic inclination whatsoever, you should give curling a try. You may surprise yourself.” Traveling with Mr. Smith to West Chester are Jay Clark of Saline, Michigan, and Scott Piroth and Cameron Roehl of Bowling Green. Women’s team members going to national are Jen Henkel of Perrysburg; Beth Landers of Bowling Green; Angie Jones of Sylvania, and Elizabeth Spencer of Toledo, Alternate Jennifer Williams of Norwalk rounds out the women’s team. Formed in 1968, the Bowling Green Curling Club has since played continuously at the Bowling Green State University Ice Arena. This fall, they are moving to a dedicated ice facility to accommodate growing interest, and will have the full accessibility to allow for offering wheelchair curling.

Dorr Elementary School News By Cheri Copeland-Shull Junior Achievement Each year we are fortunate to have community volunteers participate in a program called Junior Achievement. Two of these community volunteers are Tracy Momany and Daniel Applegate, from Plastic Technologies Inc. in Holland. They led the Junior Achievement lessons in Melissa Zaciewski’s third grade classroom. These lessons support the economic standards and skills that our students need to learn. In “Junior Achievement: Our City,” our Junior Achievement volunteers introduce students to the characteristics of cities and how cities are shaped by zoning. Students also learn about the importance of money to a city; how financial institutions help businesses and city residents, and how the media is an integral part of a city’s life. Through this program, students also learn the role of an entrepreneur by exploring what it takes to open a restaurant. This program indicates the value of having community members participate in the education of the community’s young people. We are thankful to Tracy Momany and Daniel Applegate and all of our other Junior Achievement volunteers for their continued commitment to the Dorr Elementary Community. Thank you!

From left are Renee Mani, Abbey Hall and Josh Torres of the Chamber Partnership, Seth Thomas, Tara Wilson, Sara Malczewski, Chris Malczewski, Isaac Lee of the Chamber Partnership, Jill Siebert and Mike Zimmerman. Chamber Partnership hosts ‘Help with Heroin’ symposium at Stone Oak on May 19 The Chamber Partnership, of which the Holland Springfield Chamber of Commerce is aligned, will host a “Help with Heroin” symposium at 11:30 a.m., Thursday, May 19, at Stone Oak Country Club in Holland. Open to all businesses, the luncheon meeting will cost $12 per person. Reservations are required and may be made by calling Abbey Hall at 419-8772747 or by visiting the website at www.thechamber partnership.com. Josh Torres, president and CEO of the partnership, believes it is important for business leaders to be aware of the heroin issue. “Most heroin addicts are people with jobs–accountants, lawyers, construction workers, nurses and secretaries. In other words, they are people who go to work every day. Businesses need to be educated about what can be done for those who may be an addict. The Chamber Partnership, by working together with the Heroin Alliance, can strategize and develop resources for our members, and the business community and this symposium will unveil those resources for local businesses.” According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. (NCADD), of the nearly 15 Zara Amin among NDA students participating in visual arts exhibit Zara Amin, of Holland, was one of seven Notre Dame Academy’s (NDA) International Baccalaureate (IB) World School art students who displayed their artwork at the NDA 2016 IB Visual Arts Exhibition. All seven students were members of the IB program. “This year the IB students curriculum and exhibition assessment has changed from our previous students,” Mrs. Susan Kozal, NDA art chair said. “The change in curriculum put more emphasis on curatorial choices and planning leading us to work more extensively with Toledo Museum of Art Curator Larry Nichols. The girls were honored with Mr. Nichols presenting both at NDA and a privately led tour and lecture at the museum that enabled them with curatorial career insight and led to crisp and professional exhibition.” A full-diploma student in the IB Program, senior Zara Amin’s show was called “Creativity: The Rose in the Garden of Humanity. “I named my exhibit this to show the idea of growth,” Zara said. “It is about how creativity is the most important mankind invention because we all use it to grow.” She will study chemical engineering at Ohio State University this coming fall and will participate in the art scholars program. Zara’s favorite medium to work in is charcoal and graphite, but she would love to work more with chalk and chalk pastels. “I want to be able to create large temporary works of art,” she said.

The Crissey staff celebrates Autism Awareness. By Oatis Amick, principal Spring Arts Show We’re all aware that the core subjects (math, reading, science and language arts) are very important for a child’s education. While schools certainly focus on these subjects, it is important that we also include and celebrate the value of fine arts education (art and music). The arts allow students to develop knowledge and skills that enhance “core” learning, stretch their imaginations and sometimes even enjoy the fun of coloring outside the lines. Each week, Crissey Elementary School students enjoy expressing themselves with Ms. Middleton and Ms. Cook. Students participate in their music classes twice a week with Ms. Middleton. They enjoy singing and learning to play a variety of instruments. Once each week, our students also have the opportunity to create their own masterpieces and learn about different art techniques thanks to Ms. Cook’s art classes. Just last week, we hosted the Crissey Spring Arts Show. Student artists in kindergarten and grades 1 and 2 enjoyed showing off their creative art work, which we displayed in the hallways. It was wonderful to see their amazing creativity. The students entertained their guests with musical performances from the stage in the Crissey gymnasium. Special thanks to the students and to Ms. Middleton and Mrs. Cook for the work they put into creating our Spring Arts Show. Also, I would like to thank our fantastic parents for donating refreshments for the show. Lion in the Spotlight It is important to us that you know our school family.
