Holland- 

Springfield 

Springfield High School site of Ohio Highway 

Patrol SRT training exercises for area police officers 

Officers from local police departments, including Holland, 

learn techniques for clearing a building while 

searching for a suspected gunman. 

An armed attack on a 

school, mall or factory may 

never occur in the area–or it 

could happen at any time. 

Seeking to be prepared 

in case the unthinkable 

should happen, Holland, 

Ottawa Hills, Swanton, 

Waterville and Whitehouse 

police departments underwent 

training over spring 

break. 

With permission from 

Springfield Schools, the 

jurisdictions utilized Springfield 

High School to train 

more than 40 officers. The 

Ohio Highway Patrol special 

response team (SRT) 

spent two days instructing 

officers on what to do in 

case of a school shooting. 

Holland Police Chief 

Robert Reed organized the 

class and invited neighboring 

police departments to 

participate. 

The chief said the 

department has not been to 

a training class of this 

nature since 2008. At that 

time officers were taught to 

secure the perimeter until 

SWAT arrives, he explained. 

But law enforcement 

learned from Columbine 

Owens CC hosts annual Motorsports Welding Night 

Owens welding instructor Charlie Stewart shows the 

artistic nature of welding. 

Hundreds of racing car 

and truck enthusiasts as well 

as area residents interested 

in welding careers turned 

out April 4 for the annual 

Lincoln Motorsports Welding 

Night at Owens Community 

College. 

Held in the School of 

Technology, the event featured 

an ARCA truck, a 305 

Sprint car, trucks, stock racing 

cars, drag racing cars 

and drag bikes. 

“Lincoln Motorsports 

Welding Night is a great 

opportunity for area residents 

to check out some of 

the latest advancements in 

competition racing with 

more than 30 owners from 

around the region showcasing 

their vehicles,” said Jim 

Gilmore, Owens chair of 

diesel and welding technologies. 

He noted that representatives 

from local businesses 

also were on hand to offer 

advice to anyone choosing a 

career in welding or the 

automotive industry. 

Local businesses included 

Toledo Speedway, Norwalk 

Raceway Park and 

Attica Raceway Park. 

Bowling Green State 

and other incidents that by 

the time SWAT arrived, the 

shooting would be over, he 

said. 

He believes it is important 

his officers undergo 

training this year in light of 

the increased incidents in 

schools and on college campuses. 

“Things change and with 

Sandy Hook [Elementary 

School shooting], it was 

time to look at more training,” 

he said, adding, 

“There’s no reason to think 

that it couldn’t happen 

here, and my obligation is to 

make sure my officers are 

trained.” 

“We don’t have a SWAT 

team due to manpower limitations,” 

and Chief Reed 

said officers can’t afford to 

wait for their arrival when a 

shooting occurs. 

Because the vast majority 

of killings occur within 

the first five minutes of an 

attack, SWAT training was 

revised to reflect the importance 

of a prompt response 

by local law enforcement. 

“It’s critical for school 

resource officers and police 

officers to act immediately,”

Kara McClosky, an Owens student, sits inside an electric 

race car on display by Bowling Green State University. 

The Elchinger family of Holgate brought their truck to 

the show. The pickup earned honors as the 2012 Wolverine 

Pullers 4WD Points Champion. 

University’s College of 

Technology displayed two 

all-electric, grand prix racing 

vehicles. 

Tony Palumbo, director 

of the BGSU electric vehicle 

institute, was eager to promote 

the clean and renewable 

energy technologies utilized 

in the motorsports 

competitions. 

A self-funded program, 

motorsports utilizes students 

from all disciplines, he 

explained. 

It is a reality-based program 

that provides students 

experience with the operation 

of a racing enterprise 

and research and development 

of green vehicles, he 

said. 

“We need technology, 

marketing, engineering, 

journalism majors–anyone 

can contribute,” he added. 

The cost to assemble a 

vehicle is $13,000, he said. 

Also at the event were 

representatives from Lincoln 

Electric with virtual welding 

machines. 

Outside the technology 

center, Owens welding 

instructor Charlie Stewart 

demonstrated welding, creating 

a dinosaur from a rusted 

piece of sheet metal. 

“Welding is not dirty. It’s 

really clean,” he told visitors. 

The welding instructor 

explained that when cutting 

a piece of steel, welders 

always cut from the edge to 

Chief Reed said. 

With guidance from the 

SRT, the officers learned 

how to handle a situation 

when only one or two are on 

the scene. “The training 

gives us tactics to use,” said 

the chief. 

He chose the patrol’s 

SRT to teach the course 

because troopers are “highly 

skilled, and we wanted to 

learn from the best.” 

Even though many of the 

officers weren’t training at 

their individual school campuses, 

they are still gaining 

skills that can be employed 

at various locations, he 

noted. 

Chief Reed described the 

training as “realistic,” 

adding that officers used 

soap bullets, which are easily 

cleaned up, to illustrate 

gunfire during an incident. 

He was surprised at the 

number of soap bullets that 

riddle the building during an 

exercise as shots ring out 

from both the shooter (portrayed 

by a state trooper) 

and the officers. 

The goal of the program 

is to equip officers with the 

best tactics to stop the 

shooter and minimize 

injuries, he said. 

Officers received instruction 

on how to quickly and 

efficiently clear a building 

while searching for the 

armed shooter, including 

seeking help from victims 

who may be injured and 

lying in hallways. 

If they’re conscious, officers 

can ask victims if they 

know which way the shooter 

went, explained SRT 

Trooper Bryan Mangin. 

Officers also learnd to 

keep a sharp ear out for the 

sound of gunfire, heading in 

the direction from which it 

came and making sure each 

room is clear before proceeding 

down the hall. 

“Their first priority is to 

find and stop the shooter or 

shooters,” said Chief Reed. 

Trooper Mangin agreed, 

noting that one of the hardest 

parts of the job can be 

walking past or over victims. 

“I carry a tourniquet on 

me,” the trooper said, 

adding that if someone is 

bleeding, he gives it to them 

until emergency personnel 

can safely enter the building 

or the victim can be evacuated. 

“My job is to stop the 

suspect from shooting. If I 

stop to help a victim, he [the 

suspect] could kill more 

people,” he added. 

Clearing the building so 

victims can be evacuated 

takes time, said Chief Reed, 

noting that officers also are 

receiving first aid training. 

And as additional officers 

arrive and hallways are 

cleared, treating and evacuating 

victims can begin. 

Trooper Mangin said the 

officers’ second priority 

after finding and restraining 

the suspect is to treat casualties. 

“We treat civilians 

before we treat our own 

unless the injury is 

extreme.” 

Chief Reed noted that 

sometimes officers feel like 

it takes an eternity to clear a 

building, but “it’s very 

quick, and every second 

counts.” 

While officers search for 

the shooter, they also must 

contend with personnel who 

have undergone ALICE 

(Alert-Lockdown-Inform- 

Counter-Evacuate) training. 

“They [officers] have to 

deal with locked doors and 

lights out,” he said, noting 

that when they come across 

a room like that, the best 

they can do is perform a 

quick visual check. 

“It’s a bad situation no 

matter what. We can only do 

the best we can,” he added. 

The Ohio Highway 

Patrol SRT conducts training 

throughout the year and 

offers it to law enforcement 

agencies statewide at no 

charge. Highway patrol 

cadets also receive the training.

Business can be an honorable and noble profession 

Penta Career Center to construct storage buildings on campus 

By Jane Maiolo 

Two new storage buildings 

will soon be constructed 

on the campus of Penta 

Career Center. 

At the April 10 meeting, 

the school board agreed to 

advertise for bids on cold 

storage buildings. 

The first structure, a 60 

by 75 foot addition to the 

land lab storage facility, will 

cost an estimated $165,240, 

explained board member 

Mark Schoenlein, a member 

of the buildings and grounds 

committee. 

The building, which will 

house landscape and other 

equipment, will be constructed 

to match the existing one. 

“It will be more of a pole 

barn,”explained Superintendent 

Ron Matter. 

The second structure, at 

35 by 150 square feet, will 

be located at the south wing 

and will be equipped with 

electricity. 

The district estimates the 

Springfield Twp. trustees approve 

demolition of home on Cheswick 

Given the recent economic 

downturn, which is often 

blamed on poor business 

practices, it comes as no surprise 

that business in general 

is not categorized as an honorable 

or noble profession. 

Dr. Dean Ludwig, chair of 

the college of business and 

leadership at Lourdes University, 

said the recent business 

climate tended to instill 

the “greed is good” school of 

thought and made the term 

“business ethics” seem like 

an oxymoron. 

Dr. Ludwig, who holds a 

bachelor’s degree from the 

University of Detroit and 

master’s and Ph.D. degrees 

from the Wharton School of 

Business, University of 

Pennsylvania, spoke at the 

April 2 Sylvania Area Chamber 

of Commerce meeting. 

He believes that when it 

comes to running a company, 

environment is everything. 

“Unfortunately, some [business 

leaders] don’t create a 

positive environment,” he 

said, adding that he is here to 

“celebrate the positive environment 

businesses create.” 

The professor referred to 

a Pontifical Council publication, 

“Vocation of the Business 

Leader.” 

“It intrigued me,” he said 

of the booklet, noting that it 

describes how business is an 

honorable and noble profession 

if well lived. “When was 

the last time you heard businesses 

described that way?” 

he asked. 

He quoted from the book, 

“When businesses and market 

economies function properly 

and focus on serving the 

common good, they contribute 

greatly to the material 

and even the spiritual wellbeing 

of society.” 

The church document 

describes obstacles to serving 

the common good including 

corruption, absence of rule of 

law, tendencies toward greed 

and poor stewardship. 

“But for a business leader, 

the most significant thing is 

leading a divided life,” said 

the professor. 

He noted that a split 

between faith and daily business 

practice leads to imbalances. 

To succeed, business leaders 

need to balance the 

demands of business with 

those of ethical social principles, 

Dr. Ludwig continued. 

“I have met leaders who 

give generously, nobly,” he 

said, adding that they treat 

employees with respect and 

dignity. 

“These are people you 

can trust. They mentor others 

to carry on in this tradition. 

“There have been giants 

in our community,” he said 

of the Savages, Andersons 

and other well-known families, 

but he noted there are 

many more who quietly go 

about running their businesses 

for the common good. 

Those include the ice 

cream store owner who creates 

a recreational area for 

people to congregate or the 

business owner who galvanizes 

employees to volunteer 

in the community. 

“They’re not just laying 

bricks, they’re building the 

cathedral,” said the professor. 

Dr. Ludwig said the publication 

describes business as a 

“vocation. The document 

implies that business is a 

calling to do what God has in 

mind for you.” 

The document refers to 

construction costs at 

$255,150. “And the facade 

will match our [career center] 

building,” said the superintendent. 

Bids for both buildings 

will be opened on May 3.

Plans to demolish a 

home at 337 Cheswick Road 

grew one step closer to 

fruition last week when the 

Springfield Township 

trustees awarded a bid for 

the building’s demolition to 

Paxton Demolition. 

At the April 1 meeting, 

Zoning Inspector Jacob 

Barnes said the township 

has “worked with the company 

before,” and added 

that they have had no problems. 

The trustees approved 

the company’s bid of $7,000 

conditional that the site be 

leveled and seeded following 

demolition. 

Because the bid was 

$1,900 lower than the next 

bid, Trustee Bob Bethel 

expressed concern that the 

bid may not include grading 

and seeding. 

He requested that the 

zoning inspector, public services 

director Mike Hampton 

and administrator Leslie 

Kohli review the bid to 

make sure the company 

plans to do the work. 

Last November, the 

trustees declared the property 

to be a nuisance following 

a report from Mr. 

Barnes, in which the zoning 

inspector noted that the site 

was overgrown with vegetation. 

He also told the trustees 

the home was “beyond 

repair” with holes in the 

roof and debris, mold and 

mildew inside the structure. 

Other Business 

In other business, the 

trustees: 

•Accepted the resignation 

of fire dispatcher 

Michelle King, effective 

April 3, and at the recommendation 

of Fire Chief 

Barry Cousino, appointed 

part-time dispatcher Brie 

Houser to full time. “Brie 

meets all the requirements 

for the position and is in 

good standing with our 

department,” said the chief. 

•Declared as a nuisance a 

home at 518 Favony. Mr. 

Barnes said a large tree fell 

on the house after severe 

storms swept through the 

township last July. 

“We have tried contacting 

the owner and have sent 

out a notice, but have 

received no replies. It 

appears as if the property 

has been abandoned,” he 

said. 

•Accepted the resignation 

of Brent Centers from 

the zoning commission. 

With his resignation, Mr. 

Barnes said the township 

now has a vacancy on the

six practical principles 

required for business, the 

first two of which pertain to 

meeting the world needs 

through goods and services. 

•Businesses contribute to 

the common good by producing 

goods that are truly good 

and services that truly serve. 

•Businesses maintain solidarity 

with the poor by being 

alert for opportunities to 

serve deprived and underserved 

populations and people 

in need. 

“Successful businesses 

identify and seek to address 

genuine human needs at a 

level of excellence using a 

great deal of innovation, creativity 

and initiative,” the 

document states. 

The third and fourth principles 

look at organizing 

good and productive work. 

•Businesses make a contribution 

to the community 

by fostering the special dignity 

of human work. 

•Businesses that embrace 

subsidiarity provide opportunities 

for employees to exercise 

appropriate authority as 

they contribute to the mission 

of the organization. 

Good business leaders 

must design work that is 

“good and effective, efficient 

and engaging, autonomous 

and collaborative,“ according 

to the publication. 

“The way human work is 

designed and managed has a 

significant impact on 

whether an organization can 

compete in the marketplace 

and whether people will 

flourish through their work.” 

The professor added, 

“Simply put, good business 

doesn’t treat human capital 

as an expendable resource. 

He noted that “badgering

The board also renewed

employees is not a way to 

run a business.” 

He recalled one businessman 

who ran a successful 

furniture company. “When I 

asked him how he became so 

successful, he said, ‘all I did 

was hire the right people and 

get out of their way. My job 

is to find good people and 

give them the resources to do 

their jobs.’” 

The final two principles 

of the pontifical publication 

pertain to creating sustainable 

wealth and distributing 

it justly. 

•Businesses model stewardship 

of the resources– 

capital, human or environmental–they 

have received. 

•Businesses are just in the 

allocation of resources to all 

stakeholders, employees, 

customers, investors, suppliers 

and the community. 

“Entrepreneurs exercise 

their creativity to organize 

the talents and energies of 

labor and to assemble capital 

and other resources from the 

earth’s abundance to produce 

goods and services.

“When this is done effectively, 

well-paying jobs are 

created, profit is realized the 

resulting wealth is shared 

with investors and everyone 

involved excels,” the document 

states. 

“I encourage you not to 

dismiss these principles,” 

said Dr. Ludwig. “I had a 

friend who recognized his 

success was not his to share 

alone.” 

The friend credited his 

employees, noting that it was 

through their hard work that 

he was able to create sustainable 

wealth. 

The professor believes 

that when the six principles 

are honored, business can be 

noble, and he encouraged 

business leaders to read the 

document, which can be 

found at www.stthomas.edu 

under the search “Vocation of 

a Business Leader.” 

“Whether you are a person 

of faith or not, it is 

important to reflect on 

whether business can indeed 

be a noble profession,” he 

concluded. –Jane Maiolo

Drug take-back collection 

at fire department Apr. 27 

Area residents are invited 

to turn in their unused or 

expired medications at a 

drug “take-back” day on 

Saturday, April 27. 

The Springfield Township 

Fire Department will 

assist the Drug Enforcement 

Administration with 

the collection. 

Locally, it will be held 

at Fire Station No. 3, 7145 

Garden Road, from 10 a.m. 

to 2 p.m. 

The service is free and 

anonymous, and no questions 

will be asked. 

Local residents are 

encouraged to empty their 

medicine cabinets, bedside 

tables and kitchen drawers 

of unwanted, unused and 

expired prescription drugs. 

Last fall, the DEA’s 

state and local law enforcement 

partners, working at 

more than 5,263 locations, 

collected 488,395 pounds 

(244 tons) of medications 

from the public. 

In the five years of Take 

Back events, they have collected 

more than 2 million 

pounds–1,018 tons– of 

pills. 

The nationwide prescription 

drug take-back 

initiative seeks to prevent 

increased pill abuse and 

theft by collecting potentially 

dangerous expired, 

unused and unwanted prescription 

drugs for destruction 

at sites nationwide. 

Many Americans do not 

know how to properly dispose 

of their unused medicine, 

often flushing them 

down the toilet or throwing 

them away–both potential 

safety and health hazards. 

According to the 2011 

Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration’s 

National Survey 

on Drug Use and Health, 

more than six million 

Americans abuse prescription 

drugs. 

That same study 

revealed more than 70 percent 

of people abusing prescription 

pain relievers got 

them through friends or relatives, 

a statistic that 

includes raiding the family 

medicine cabinet. 

The National Prescription 

Drug Take-Back Day 

aims to provide a safe, convenient, 

and responsible 

means of disposal, while 

also educating the general 

public about the potential 

for abuse of these medications. 

Work to begin on old Route 24 

The Ohio Department of 

Transportation (ODOT) District 

Two will begin work on 

South River Road, the old 

Anthony Wayne Trail, on 

Monday, April 15. 

Through April, South 

River Road from the Henry 

Lucas County line road to 

Providence-Neapolis-Swanton 

Road will be closed for 

culvert replacement. 

Motorists will be 

detoured using State Route 

295, U.S. Route 24 and 

State Route 109. 

Effective April 22 

through August, intermittent 

lane restrictions should be 

expected on South River 

Road from Henry/Lucas 

County line road to Dutch 

Road for resurfacing. Traffic 

will be maintained by flaggers. 

Additional closures for 

culvert repair will be 

announced. The project will 

be complete in August, 

weather permitting.

Known nationwide for his stone carvings, sculptor George 

Carruth will be featured at the Waterville Garden Smiles 

location, 211 Mechanic Street, on April 27, from 10 a.m. to 5 

p.m. Mr. Carruth signs his work at least twice annually. 

Always the dreamer, Mr. Carruth consistently has his customers’ 

delight in mind. “That’s my ultimate goal–to have the 

customer find the little subtleties that make them smile. To 

make them say things like ‘Wow, look at that bug that’s tucked 

away there.’ It’s a fun game,” he said. 

Since 1983, Mr. Carruth has produced more than 500 original 

designs for the home and garden. He left the corporate 

world and founded his own business with wife Deborah Carruth. 

Together, they have built a successful enterprise one stone 

carving at a time. 

Today, Mr. Carruth’s broad portfolio includes a commission 

from the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., as well 

as an ornament for the White House Christmas Tree.

Compelled Church opens Holland location 

On March 28, the Reverend Tim Rabara and members of his congregation held a grand 

opening of the Compelled Church at its new location, 1007 South McCord Road, Holland. 

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was hosted by the Holland-Springfield Chamber of Commerce, 

and chamber board members welcomed the congregation to the community. 

“We have a passion for those who do not yet know Christ, and that is the driving force 

for the church’s mission,” said the pastor. He noted that the church has multiple sites in 

northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan, allowing the pastors to reach more people. “The 

smaller campuses also offer the opportunity to build closer relationships,” he added. 

Services are held at 11 a.m. on Sundays. For more information, visit the Web site at

working very hard since November, 

practicing once a 

week spinning flags and rifles. 

The girls are under the 

direction of Ms. Jacquelyn 

Sartor who also leads the 

color guard at the high 

school. Her staff includes 

Brady Ford, Stephanie

JROTC Program 

Achieves National 

Honors 

The United States Army 

Cadet Command conducted 

the largest single service 

JROTC drill championship 

on April 6, in Louisville, 

Kentucky, with 2,200 of the 

best high school drill cadets 

in America in competition. 

These teams represented the 

top 66 high school Army 

Springfield High School News 

JROTC programs (out of 

1,700 total) in the nation. 

This event is designed to 

find the finest Army JROTC 

drill unit in the nation. 

While schools may be exceptional 

in a single event or 

two, nominated schools are 

those that can best compete 

for the overall title of drill 

excellence. 

Springfield High School’s 

JROTC was the only team 

representing Ohio. 

With a very diverse group 

of exceptional talented drill 

units, the drill teams attending 

made for an exciting mix 

of powerhouse teams ready 

to display to the nation their 

abilities in a demanding 

“sport” with a military twist. 

Congratulations to the 

Springfield JROTC Drill 

Team for their eighth place 

ranking in Army JROTC national 

exhibition drill competition. 

What a great way to end 

the drill season. HOORAH! 

The “Army Nationals” 

are the annual home of the 

finest Army JROTC drill 

units in the country. 

The Army Nationals is an 

unparalleled, single-service 

platform to display the hard 

work the Springfield JROTC 

cadet drill team has put forward 

all year leading up to 

this concluding event.

PET OF THE WEEK 

GARFIELD 

Garfield is an 11-monthold 

male cream shorthair. 

His owners brought him into 

the Toledo Area Humane 

Society because they had 

too many cats and could not 

care for them all. There 

were children and many 

other cats sharing Garfield’s 

home. He enjoyed having so 

many playmates and hopes 

that he will get as much attention 

from his new family. 

Garfield likes to play with toys, scratch on the scratching 

post, and playing with catnip. 

One of his favorite things to do is sit in the window and 

watch the birds. He will even chatter and chirp at them when 

he is feeling spunky. Garfield has never been around dogs 

but he does have a lot of confidence and may learn to love a 

calm, cat-friendly dog. 

Garfield has been neutered, examined by a TAHS staff 

veterinarian, is current on his vaccinations, and is microchipped.

Playground Build 

If you pass by Crissey 

Elementary, you may notice 

a new playground and swing 

structure has been installed. 

Several years ago, the 

Crissey Parents Club established 

a vision for this wonderful 

project. With a 

combination of the hard 

work of a very dynamic 

Crissey Parents Club and 

outstanding community support, 

this project finally 

came to fruition on Saturday, 

April 6. 

More than 20 dedicated 

Crissey families and staff 

members gathered this day 

to construct the new playground 

equipment. As could 

have been predicted, the 

community build was a 

great success. 

The Crissey family extends 

a special thank you to 

Todd Alspaugh & Associates 

Inc. for their generous 

donation of time and resources. 

Without them, the 

Area residents with a passion 

and an enjoyment of 

music are invited to join in 

celebrating the culmination 

of an academic year’s worth

SCHOOL NEWS 

Brenda Engle and Kay Barbour with their puppet friends with disabilities. 

From Mr. Devol’s Desk 

New Kids on the Block 

Kids on the Block, an internationally 

recognized program 

designed to educate 

students about other students 

with disabilities came to Holland 

for their annual presentation. 

Kids on the Block use 

puppets to show students how 

to understand and have compassion 

for these disabilities. 

They cover blindness, deafness, 

mental retardation, 

speech, and wheelchair 

bound disabilities and 

demonstrate how these students 

deal with their disabilities 

and how we can be 

advocates for and support 

these students. 

Through the use of fun 

and entertaining puppets, 

Mrs. Engle and Mrs. Barbour 

provide valuable information 

in such a way that our third 

grade students can't help but 

learn. They sing songs using 

sign language and learn how 

some students can be valuable 

members of society. 

We value all children, and 

all children can and want to 

learn. Some just learn differently, 

and that’s okay. Thanks 

to the innovative and entertaining 

way Kids on the 

Block teach, our students 

have learned we all are different 

but we all are wonderful 

creations.
