Strawberry Festival 2012 

Event begins with ribbon-cutting for new shelter house 

Strawberry Festival 2012 kicked off last 

Wednesday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony 

to celebrate the opening of the new 

shelter house at Community Homecoming 

Park. The shelter house served as the primary 

source for all things strawberry during 

the event, including delectable strawberry 

shortcake, pie and shakes. 

Township administrator Leslie Kohli 

delivered opening comments. Ms. Kohli 

said township officials are “very happy” 

with the new building, which was constructed 

at a cost of $282,561. She 

expressed her appreciation to Utopia Construction 

owner Pradeep Vij for his 

patience with township officials who periodically 

tweaked the design. 

“I hope this is something the whole 

family can enjoy,” she said, adding that 

the trustees are still seeking input on a 

name for the building. She noted that the 

township would like to refrain from using 

Strawberry in the name to avoid confusion 

with Holland’s park and lodge. 

Suggestions for a name will be accepted 

through June 30 and can be submitted 

to Ms. Kohli at 419-865-0239, or by sending 

an e-mail to lkohli@springfieldtown 

ship.net. 

Andy Glenn, president of the board of 

trustees, said, “Saying we are happy with 

the way it turned out is a huge understatement. 

It’s awesome.”

Penta board of education reviews OGT results 

By Jane Maiolo 

Student results from the 

2012-13 Ohio Graduation 

Test (OGT) were reviewed 

by the Penta Career Center 

school board at the June 13 

meeting. 

Susan Short, supervisor of 

curriculum and teaching professions, 

said, “I am pleased 

to announce continual 

progress in OGTs,” adding 

that sophomores continue to 

perform better on the test 

than their counterparts in 

prior years. 

“There were 386 sophomores 

tested this year,” she 

said. 

Of those enrolled in the 

regular education program, 

88 percent passed the OGT. 

For special education students 

who are main-streamed 

into regular classrooms, passage 

was 50 percent, and for 

students with significant disabilities, 

the passage rate was 

27 percent. 

Ms. Short pointed out that 

member schools do have the 

right to waive the OGT 

requirement for students who 

face significant challenges. 

“That typically does happen,” 

she added. 

The supervisor also was 

pleased with student scores 

even among those who failed 

to pass one or more portions 

of the test. 

The minimum score to 

pass is 400 or better. A few 

years ago the average score 

was around 360 but now students 

are averaging 380. 

“That’s very close to passage. 

We need to tweak our 

program to get those students 

passed,” she said. 

Ms. Short is not as enthusiastic 

about the OGT results 

for juniors. “The juniors had 

disappointing results with 31 

percent passing,” she said. 

She noted that juniors are 

typically the hardest group to 

motivate because they don’t 

feel the pressure to pass that 

seniors do. 

“But that still doesn’t 

fully explain the results. 

Obviously it draws a red flag 

when normal passage is over 

50 percent.” 

She added that until this 

year’s group, juniors had 

been making progress. 

Senior results were better 

with 63 percent of the 11 students 

tested passing. Four did 

not pass, and one of those 

students also failed to fulfill 

curriculum requirements of 

the home school. 

Ms. Short is already looking 

ahead to next year and 

what can be done to help last 

year’s sophomores and 

juniors who failed to pass 

one or more sections of the 

test. 

“Last year’s juniors are 

now seniors, and I consider 

them a high priority,” she 

said, adding that 38 of those 

students have to pass the 

tests as they do not meet the 

waiver requirement. Her goal 

is 100 percent passing. 

She concluded, “We have 

challenges like all schools do 

getting students to pass. It’s 

never 100 percent, happy, 

great news, but the students 

and staff work very, very 

hard and are making continual 

progress.”

Other Business 

In other business, the 

board: 

•Waived student fees for 

the 2012-13 school year for 

all on and off campus programs. 

“I think it’s important to 

do,” said Superintendent Ron 

Matter, adding that the students 

will only be required to 

pay for their school uniforms. 

Total fees for the upcoming 

school year are $221,721, 

an increase over last year’s 

fees of $189,374. 

•Approved the transfer of 

$285,131 in school donation 

funds to the Toledo Community 

Foundation Penta Career 

Center Career-Technical Student 

Enrichment Fund. The 

funds are used to cover student 

and staff expenses related 

to participation in local, 

regional, state and national 

competitions. 

•Received an update from 

Rich Birt, supervisor of operations. 

Mr. Birt said the department 

continues to work on an 

energy management plan and 

has expanded the outdoor lab 

to include a public safety 

area and a place for construction 

students to receive Bobcat 

training. 

He also noted that the 

department has sold surplus 

items through an online auction 

service, bringing in 

$16,000. 

•Heard from Kevin Whitlatch, 

director of adult education, 

that the GED graduation 

ceremony was well attended. 

He said the adult education

that in Lucas County 

there are an estimated 60,000 

residents who lack a GED. 

•Accepted the resignation 

of Alison Ogdahl, medical

open to the public. 

Regional Growth Partnership ‘sells’ Ohio 

To attract companies to 

locations in Ohio–such as 

Toledo’s marina district– 

economic development officials 

need a sales pitch that 

can be heard around the 

world. 

“We’re not selling 

against Chicago, we’re selling 

against Shenzhen 

[China],” said Douglas 

Born, vice president of the 

Regional Growth Partnership 

(RGP). 

Mr. Born was the guest 

speaker at the Rossford 

Business Association’s May 

30 breakfast meeting. 

He explained that the 

RGP is a private non-profit 

corporation serving 17 Ohio 

counties and three Michigan 

counties. It is funded by 40 

large corporations in northwest 

Ohio. 

Describing it as “a marketing 

and sales organization 

designed to attract and 

bring employers,” he said 

their work lately has 

focused on many Chinese 

businesses. 

Mr. Born noted that a 

significant change in the 

way Ohio approaches economic 

development has 

occurred under Governor 

John Kasich. 

The governor’s “Jobs 

Ohio” initiative privatized 

economic development and 

marketing for Ohio, he said. 

Mr. Born agrees with an 

approach that is more specialized 

because “Toledo, 

By Allison Walters 

Confusion with FuelMaster 

nearly cost Springfield 

Township more money. 

At a June 5 meeting, the 

trustees learned that the gate 

they wanted to use with the 

FuelMaster system would 

cost the township more than 

they originally budgeted. 

The miscommunication 

caused the trustees to table 

gate installation at last 

month’s meeting. 

The board asked Public 

Lima and Findlay have different 

needs than Columbus, 

Delaware and Marietta,” he 

said. 

The Top 10 employers 

for counties vary widely 

across the state. For 

instance, aerospace is 

important in Dayton, but not 

elsewhere where automotive, 

consumer products and 

food companies are larger. 

And only Wood County has 

an information technology 

company in the Top 10, he 

said. 

RGP has a contracted 

sales force that travels 

worldwide to coordinate 

business, retention and 

expansion, and assist county 

officials with economic 

development. 

They pride themselves 

on being able to offer a 

potential new business a 

proposal anywhere between 

72 hours and five 

days–“operating at the 

speed of business,” he said. 

The RGP concentrates on 

companies that offer higherpaying 

jobs. Mr. Born 

believes it is important 

when discussing unemployment 

rates to look at the 

total of “net new jobs”– 

which is balanced by the 

jobs that have been eliminated. 

Along with a focus on 

new businesses, he said 

retention of current businesses 

is a priority. 

“Employers adding new 

Service Director Mike 

Hampton to see what could 

be done to bring the cost of 

the gate down. Through discussions, 

Mr. Hampton negotiated 

$2,000 off the gate 

price. 

The new gate will cost 

$9,288, bringing the total 

project cost to $36,762. 

Without the discount the 

cost would have been 

$38,762. 

The trustees also 

approved a motion to allow 

employees is where the 

majority of your growth will 

happen,” he said. 

The top 10 employers in 

each county of Ohio are 

called upon at least once per 

year, with the RGP staff 

even frequently reaching the 

top 20 employers. 

Through a shared database 

across the state, economic 

development officials 

can work together. 

“If we get a plant closing 

notice, we can look at the 

last retention call and the 

issues addressed,” he 

explained. “If the issues 

were not resolved, we can 

get a team to go in and 

help.” 

Help can be provided in 

areas such as utilities, training, 

finances, permits, technology, 

research and development, 

he said. 

The RGP is part of the 

regional branding efforts 

with the slogan “Heart of 

the New Manufacturing 

Economy.” 

Among the area’s assets, 

Mr. Born said the RGP 

emphasizes: 

•location and access to 

materials, capital, markets 

•transportation with 

reduced risks and costs 

•workforce abundant and 

hard-working, educated and 

skilled 

•stable weather. 

Although Ohio’s weather 

is not always considered to 

be the most pleasant, there

to install a 60 amp feeder 

and emergency stop for the 

gate. 

The contract will cost the 

township $5,280 through 

Northwest Electric Contracting, 

compared to a $5,800 

bid from FuelMaster. 

Mr. Hampton said the current 

30 amp service isn’t sufficient 

to operate the gate. 

If the township fails to 

upgrade to 60 amps, the circuit 

could overload, he

of the Regional

comeback. 

are not “typhoons, forest 

fires or earthquakes,” he 

added. 

Mr. Born noted that site 

selection decisions often 

are made for companies 

when accountants come in 

to negotiate a package. 

Businesses are looking 

for the most well-developed 

sites. 

“It’s more ‘site elimination,’” 

he said, adding that 

the accountants often “specialize 

in saying ‘no.’” 

Mr. Born is confident 

that northwest Ohio is making 

a comeback from the 

depressed economy of the 

past several years, and has 

“a lot of ways to come 

back.” 

Township trustees purchase gate for FuelMaster system 

On June 13, the Ohio 

Department of Transportation 

District Two, which 

serves all of Lucas and 

Wood counties, held its 

annual “Roadeo” competition 

at district headquarters 

in Bowling Green. 

The contest tests the 

skills and knowledge of 

snowplow and equipment 

operators. Drivers face a 

series of challenging obstacle 

courses, which must be 

successfully completed using 

a 10-ton dump truck/snowplow 

and a front-end loader. 

Theresa Pollick, public 

information officer, said 45 

employees registered for 

each competition. 

The event simulates actual 

challenges drivers face 

when operating equipment 

on a daily basis, explained 

Ms. Pollick. 

Each course was designed 

with its own unique set of 

challenges. 

Participants in the front 

end loader contest were first 

required to maneuver the 

vehicle through a narrow 

road which took a quick jog 

to the left. 

They were then required 

to back the loader as close to 

a blockade as possible without 

hitting it. The final 

maneuver involved knocking 

tennis balls off small cones 

without tipping over the larger 

cones that flanked each 

side of the smaller ones. 

Snow plow drivers faced 

somewhat different challenges. 

In the first part of the 

contest, drivers were expected 

to move metal flags without 

touching nearby orange 

barrels. The exercise simulated 

moving the plow in and 

out of the shoulder. 

Next drivers inched the 

plow as close to simulated 

mailboxes as possible, again 

without striking them. 

Driving maneuverability 

was tested again when drivers 

had to weave their 

plows through a narrow path. 

The final part of the contest 

came when drivers were 

required to push a barrel (to 

simulate snow) to a particular 

spot on the pavement. 

explained. 

The public service director 

also plans to install an 

emergency stop inside the 

gate of the fuel pumps. The 

emergency stop that is currently 

outside the gate will 

remain as a safety precaution, 

he said. 

Once in place, the Fuel- 

Master system’s software 

program will allow the township 

to monitor each vehicle’s 

fuel consumption, fuel

ODOT’s ‘Roadeo’ competition a test of skill for drivers 

ODOT District Two held its annual “Roadeo” competition 

on June 13 at its Bowling Green headquarters. Far 

more than a sporting event for drivers, the contest 

tests each driver’s ability to maneuver through several 

obstacle courses. 

Top left, a snowplow operator moves the barrel to the 

target area on the pavement. The maneuver is 

designed to simulate the movement of snow to a specific 

spot. Above right, a driver attempts to navigate 

the front-end loader through a narrow road that jogs 

from right to left. 

Bottom left, driver Craig Eidenour backs a front-end 

loader into a tight space and as close to the blockade 

as possible. He came within 28 inches of the crossbars. 

Below right, a snowplow operator attempts to set the 

plow as close to a simulated mailbox as possible without 

striking it. 

This year’s winners of the 

snowplow competition were: 

first place, Ron Wise, Seneca 

County; second place, Eric 

Schlegel, Lucas County and 

third place, Joe Howard, Fulton 

County. 

Taking first through third 

place in the front-end loader 

contest were, respectively: 

Jason Naus–Wood County, 

Chuck Theis–Seneca County 

and Derrick Denman– Sandusky 

County. 

First and second place 

winners of the District Two 

event will face the winners 

from 11 other ODOT Districts

Cup “Roadeo” held in 

Columbus this August.

Humane society seeks cat food 

donations, foster care volunteers 

The Toledo Area Humane 

Society is in urgent and immediate 

need of donations of 

canned cat food and foster care 

volunteers. 

Because of the mild 

weather this past winter, “kitten 

season” has begun early 

and the Toledo Area Humane 

Society is taking an average of 

20 litters of kittens each week 

that are too young to go up for 

adoption. 

TAHS also is seeing a 

greater number of adult cats 

being surrendered to the shelter. 

Due to the influx of cats 

and kittens, TAHS is using 

large amounts of canned food, 

and the current supply is critically 

low. In addition to providing 

canned food for the cats 

and kittens in foster care, 

TAHS also uses it for sick and 

injured cats as well as for 

adoptable cats each morning. 

In addition to canned cat 

food, the Toledo Area Humane 

Society is in need of donations 

of the following items: gently 

used or new towels, small pet 

carriers, small litter boxes 

(new only please), small pet 

food dishes, and small or 

medium-size dog crates. 

These supplies are necessary 

for TAHS to be able to 

provide their foster care volunteers 

that are caring for kittens 

Carriage Rides 

& 

that are too young to go up for 

adoption. 

Currently, the Toledo Area 

Humane Society has more 

than 160 kittens in foster care 

and an additional 10 litters currently 

in the shelter waiting to 

go into foster care. 

TAHS is looking for volunteers 

who are willing to temporarily 

open their hearts and 

homes to care for a litter of kittens 

that is too young for adoption. 


Society provides all of the supplies 

necessary to care for the 

animals, including food, litter, 

litter box, and veterinary care. 

Length of fostering depends on 

each individual litter and can 

range from two to eight weeks 

generally. 

Photos of kittens waiting to 

be fostered can be found on the 

Humane Society’s Facebook 

page under the album “Project 

Foster Kittens,” which is updated 

on a regular basis. 

To become a foster volunteer, 

interested parties can call 

419-891-0705, extension 305, 

send an e-mail to foster@tole 

doareahumanesociety. org or 

visit the shelter at 1920 Indian 

Wood Circle in Maumee, to fill 

out an application. 

The application also is 

available online at www.Tole 

doAreaHumaneSociety.org. 

Humane Society offers reduced 

adoption rates during ‘Yappy Hours’ 


Society is offering “Yappy 

Hours” Tuesdays through 

Fridays, from 2 to 4 p.m. 

through Friday, June 29. 

During “Yappy Hours” all 

cats, kittens, dogs and puppies 

(over the age of 4 

months) will have their 

adoption fee reduced up to 

50 percent. 

Adoption fee discounts 

will be greater (50 percent) 

for those animals that have 

been at the Humane Society 

the longest. (On Fridays, the 

$5 Friday adoption fee will 

override the “Yappy Hours” 

adoption discounts.) 

Similar to “$5 Fridays,” 

the Toledo Area Humane Society 

hopes that “Yappy 

Hours” will bring more people 

into the Humane Society 

to potentially meet their new 

The Clay High School 

Class of 1992 will hold its 20- 

year reunion on Saturday, 

July 21, at Oak Shade Grove. 

The event will include 

best friends. The more animals 

TAHS can help find 

new homes for, the more animals 

they can bring into the 

shelter to help. 

The “$5 Fridays” continues 

through Friday, June 29 

as well. Every Friday from 

11 a.m. to 7 p.m., all cats and 

kittens will have their adoption 

fees reduced to just $5 

each. 

All cats, kittens, dogs and 

puppies adopted from the 

Toledo Area Humane Society 

are spayed or neutered, 

get microchipped, receive 

their age-appropriate vaccines 

and get a physical 

exam by our on-staff veterinarians.

Highway Patrol’s tactical squads 

to respond to highway fatalities 

In response to the rising 

traffic fatalities, up 12 percent 

already this year, the Ohio 

State Highway Patrol will be 

sending out three regional 

traveling tactical squads to 

target crash causing violations 

in an effort to reduce 

fatal and injury crashes. 

The summer-long initiative, 

which also serves as a 

high visibility enforcement 

effort, will be using mapped 

crash data to not only focus 

on high crash areas, but also 

the days and times when most 

of the crashes are occurring. 

“We hope to combat the 

rising fatalities by patrolling 

Springfield Cowboy cheer 

clinic, tryouts announced 

areas during the days and 

times when they are most 

dangerous,” said Colonel 

John Born, Patrol superintendent. 

“However, we need 

the help of the motoring public 

to make Ohio’s roadways 

safer for everyone–by always 

driving sober, staying focused 

on the road and insisting that 

everyone in your vehicle 

wear a safety belt.” 

High-crash areas include 

I-475 and I-75 in northwest 

Ohio. 

The public is encouraged 

to call #677 to report impaired 

drivers and drug activity. 

There will be a Springfield 

Cowboy cheerleading 

clinic on Tuesday and 

Wednesday, June 26 and 27, 

from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Tryouts 

will be on Thursday, June 

28. 

The clinic and tryout will 

be held at Bear Creek Park 

behind the Former Circuit 

City off Airport Highway. 

Girls ages 11 to 13 years 

old and in the fifth through 

eighth grades are eligible. 

Springfield Cowboy 

football tryouts are Wednesday 

and Thursday, July 18 

and 19, from 5 to 7 p.m. 

Tryouts are open to those 

ages 9 to 13 and who live in 

and around the Springfield 

School District. 

Tryouts will be held at 

Bear Creek Park.

From Mr. Devol’s Desk 

Volunteer Thank You 

Breakfast 

The volunteers who have 

given so much of their time 

to help the Holland students 

and teachers were thanked 

for their time recently with a 

coffee and Panera bagel 

breakfast. Countless hours 

and work go into a successful 

school year and we couldn't 

do it without our faithful 

volunteers showing up week 

after week to help our staff 

and students. Thank you for 

all you do to help make Holland 

an excellent school. 

Holland Third Grade 

Students Design 

and Produce 

Rainforest Book Boxes 

As an end-of-the-year 

project in Mrs. Deisher’s 

third grade class at Holland, 

the students were asked to do 

a multisensory, multiple intelligence 

Science-Math- 

Language Arts-Social 

Studies-Writing project. If it 

sounds like it was overwhelming, 

then you didn’t 

get a chance to watch the cooperative 

student groups 

work together to produce 

fantastic Rainforest Book 

Boxes filled with information, 

reports, puzzles and 

games about an animal found 

there. 

Six groups were formed, 

and they decided together 

what animal they wanted to 

build a book box on. Ocelots, 

apes, boa constrictors, and 

many more animals found 

their way into the book 

boxes. 

Besides a report on the 

animals, the groups were 

asked to produce a game that 

would help others understand 

and enjoy the animal, teach 

others about the animal and 

be fun to play. They were 

asked to produce a jig saw 

puzzle, draw pictures of the 

animal in their habitat, and a 

poem. Math was used to de- 

A breakfast was held recently to honor volunteers at Holland Elementary School. 

termine size, shapes, weight, 

etc. Science was used to tell 

about diet, prey or predator, 

and habitat. Each group was 

to produce the needed reports, 

etc. It was fun to see all 

the groups have a chance to 

play the games and enjoy the 

other parts of the Book 

Boxes. One final activity that 

each group was asked to 

complete before they moved 

on to the next group's book 

box was to provide feedback. 

What did they like about the 

activities and what could the 

groups do to improve the activities 

for others.

Turtlenapped 

from Arizona 

What happens when a 

well-meaning tourist from 

Ohio finds what she thinks 

is a poor orphaned turtle 

wandering the deserts of 

Arizona and brings it home 

to Ohio Well the staff at 

Nature’s Nursery found out 

that it should never have 

been picked up and they 

were able to help both the 

desert turtle and the wellmeaning 

lady find a solution. 

They help educate 

students all over northwest 

Ohio by telling them about 

the great work that Nature’s 

Nursery does to help injured 

or orphaned wild animals. 

At Holland’s Character 

Education Assembly last 

week we heard the story and 

also found out that it is 

against the law to transport 

animals found in the wild 

across state lines. Unfortunately 

for our turtle friend, 

Nature’s Nursery will be its 

permanent home because it 

can never be returned to the 

wilds of Arizona due to Federal 

guidelines. But for the 

students at Holland Elementary 

we got to see this beautiful 

creature from far away. 

We also had the special treat 

of meeting a Great Horned 

Owl who had a broken wing. 

Nature’s Nursery uses 

these injured but healed animals 

to create awareness and 

appreciation for the wild animals 

around us and this 

wonderful facility that will 

help injured animals. Located 

in Whitehouse, Ohio, it 

is open on the second Sundays 

of the summer months 

for tours.

hands-on activities, such as 

crafts. 

The yellow room will be 

instructed by an elementary 

teacher who will reinforce 

safety rules through songs 

and books. 

Holland police personnel 

will continue to teach students 

in the green room 

safety rules using props 

and the miniature Safety 

Town and sidewalks. 

Township and village residents 

will be placed in the 

program first, on a firstcome, 

first-served basis. 

Children are permitted to attend 

the program once.

More than 325 runners and families from Ohio and Michigan participated in the 5K 

run/walk, 1 mile walk and Kids’ Fun Run. 

“Our fourth annual lung cancer fund-raiser was spectacular...in no small part 

due to the blessings of a beautiful day, a core leadership team of tireless planners, 

an amazing group of event day volunteers, kind and generous sponsors, and a 

small army of those advocating for and/or touched by lung cancer who participated 

in the various activities of the morning,” said Louann Cummings, eight-year lung 

cancer survivor and event chairperson. “The Kids’ Fun Run provided immeasurable 

fun for all, the one-mile walkers and 5K runners/walkers enjoyed a beautiful 

course [in our lovely Perrysburg community] and the post-event rally celebrated 

accomplishments and hope for this devastating disease. 

“Lung cancer remains the largest cancer killer–taking more lives annually than 

breast, prostate and colon cancers combined. No one deserves lung cancer. Thanks 

to the passion, involvement and compassion of countless supporters at our RumbleRun, 

a difference truly has been made in this endeavor to tackle lung cancer.” 

Mrs. Cummings, who has raised more than $100,000 during the past four years, 

stated that 100 percent of the net proceeds benefit the National Lung Cancer Partnership 

which is working with advocates, survivors and other lung cancer organizations 

to increase awareness and to fund cutting-edge lung cancer research, 

which is essential to helping patients live longer and better lives. 

Event sponsors included Best Buy, Dave’s Running, ProMedica, Genentech, 

Astellas Oncology, Welch Publishing, Cumulus Toledo, The Andersons, Scrambler 

Maries, Bob Evans-Fremont Pike, YMCA & JCC of Greater Toledo, Barry Bagels, 

Signature Harley-Davidson, essence mind*body studio, Mr. Freeze, Pfizer Oncology

The Helping Horses Charity 

Fun Show will be held 

Sunday, July 1, at the Harry 

Hughes Youth Equestrian 

Center in Swanton. 

This show, which is open 

to any horse and rider, will 

raise money for a variety of 

charities, including the 

American Cancer Society, 

Toys for Tots, and Heroes in 

Action. 

“We are fortunate to have 

all of our classes sponsored, 

as well as the support of our 

presenting sponsor, Dr. 

Mickey Frame of Frame Chiropractic 

and Acupuncture, 

so that we can donate all of 

the money we raise,” said 

Myndi Milliken, show organizer. 

The sponsorships provide 

the prizes, which include 

brightly colored ribbons to 

fifth place, gift certificates 

and cash. One class provides 

horse hair extensions as its 

prize. 

“The classes are geared 

for having fun, which is great 

for people who just want to 

pull their horses out the pasture 

or for those who are 

showing pretty hard and want 

to be less serious for a 

while,” said Megan Gorney, 

show judge. “The best part is 

all of their class fees go to 

help deserving organizations.” 

Last year, Helping Horses 

held their first show and 

raised nearly $800 for the 

American Cancer Society. 

“We were fortunate that so 

many people still came and 

helped us raise a sizeable donation,” 

said Robert Goewey, 

open barrels sponsor. “We’d 

really like to double that 

amount this year.” 

Classes of note include: 

the Toys for Tots Fun Jump, 

where the winner will receive 

a $100 the Custom Fox Tack 

Store gift certificate; the 

Branden Breakfield Costume 

Class (in honor of a boy who 

lost his battle with cancer at 

age 9), where the winner will 

receive a $100 Uckele Health 

North Branch Nursery, Inc. 

Garden Center * Landscape * Wholesale 

 

Horse show to benefit charities 

and Nutrition gift certificate 

and $40 cash, and the Kettlebell-Bob 

Open Barrels, 

where the winner will receive 

$200 cash and cash pay outs 

are provided through 10th 

place. 

The show kicks off with a 

ceremony honoring veterans, 

and local horse adoption 

agencies are invited to show 

their horses fee-free. There 

will be a raffle supporting 

4-H, and area humane societies 

are invited to provide 

horse-friendly dog and barn 

cat adoptions.

rules and directions, visit the

PET OF THE WEEK 

DUKE 

Duke is a 1-year-old 

male American Bulldog. 

He was brought into the 

Toledo Area Humane Society 

through the shelter’s 

cruelty department. 

Duke’s previous owner 

kept him chained up outside 

without shelter or 

water, so now Duke is hoping 

to find a home where 

he can be treated like a real 

member of the family. 

Duke is friendly and playful. He loves tug toys and playing 

fetch with tennis balls. Since he was neglected in his previous 

home, he will need an owner who is willing to provide 

him with the structure and training that he needs to become 

an even better companion. Duke has never been around 

small children and can sometimes play roughly. He is best 

suited for an adult owner, and he will need a home without 

cats. 

Duke has been neutered, examined by a TAHS staff veterinarian, 

is current on his vaccinations and is microchipped. 

For more information, visit the Toledo Area Humane Society,

New land speed rocket car achieves 

a speed record at SHS racing event 

Springfield High School 

held its annual Land Speed 

Rocket car race last month. 

A car created by Corbin Kirk 

broke the old record of 86 

mph, recording a 92 mph 

record-setting run. Ryan 

Quigg also broke the record 

with an 87 mph race. 

“Most of the cars 

achieved in the 80 mph 

range,” said instructor 

Robert Steinline. 

The fastest car weighed 

in at 5 ounces, while the second 

fastest was one of the 

lightest at 4.6 ounces. 

Third place honors went 

to Corey Sharp, whose car 

weighed 4.6 ounces and tied 

the old record at 86 mph. 

Fourth place was won by 

Alex Ezinga, whose 5.1 

ounce car reached 85 mph. 

“Kurtis Taylor had the 

most unique design of the 

class, as he drilled holes 

from the back of several 

parts for weight reduction, 

making his car close to the 

lightest at 4.8 ounces,” said 

the instructor, adding that the 

car traveled at 84 mph. 

The remaining cars 

achieved anywhere from 48 

to 84 mph. 

SHS students have been 

participating in this activity 

since 2005, when Julian 

Thomas had the fastest car 

with a 51 mph top speed. 

Cars have undergone 

about four major design improvements 

since that time 

with another major design 

revision scheduled for next 

year. “This should increase 

the vehicle’s speed,” he said. 

Instrumental in the design 

process are light weight and 

aerodynamics. The class has 

the advantage of being able 

to test each car’s aerodynamics 

with a wind tunnel that 

was financed through a 

Springfield Schools Foundation 

grant. 

NASA provided some of 

the coaching that assisted in 

the student designed and created 

testing equipment, explained 

Mr. Steinline. 

Most of the cars tested 

were the best ever made–a 

testimonial to the aerodynamics 

of the students’ designs. 

SHS engineering technologies 

program has enjoyed 

commendation from 

the University of Toledo 

twice now, earning the 

school the title of being an 

“Outstanding Partner in Education” 

for motivating students 

to pursue engineering 

careers.

ProMedica Flower Hospital has earned Ohio’s premier 

award for exceeding patient safety and quality standards established 

by the Malcolm Baldrige Criteria. The hospital is the 

only organization in the state to receive a platinum-level award 

from the Partnership for Excellence for performance excellence, 

innovation and visionary leadership in health care. 

Representatives from Flower Hospital will be honored with 

other recipients at an annual conference in September in 

Columbus, Ohio. 

“This is one of the most significant milestones in Flower’s 

history and a great tribute to our physicians and employees 

who put patient safety, quality and satisfaction first,” said Alan 

Sattler, president. 

Flower Hospital was evaluated by seven independent examiners 

for three days in areas including leadership, strategic 

planning, customer focus, measurement, analysis and knowledge 

management, workforce focus, operations focus, and results. 

The Baldrige criteria is a significant tool for assessing organizational 

strengths and opportunities for improvement. Organizations 

that participate in this process gain a greater focus 

on customer service, process management, work systems and 

organization-wide results.

Ahead” with Matt Padgett

appropriate to focus not on 

the next three, six or 12

Ohio EPA conducting water 

quality study of Maumee River 

Ohio EPA staff will 

begin a major water quality 

study of the Maumee 

River this summer. The 

land draining to the 

Maumee River is one of 

the largest watersheds in 

Ohio, spanning 4,820 

square miles and covering 

all or parts of 20 counties 

in northwest Ohio. 

The study will focus on 

the full length of the 

Maumee River, from the 

Indiana state line to Lake 

Erie and will include portions 

of two major 

Maumee tributary streams, 

the Auglaize and Tiffin 

rivers. The field work is 

the first step in a federally 

required study called a 

Total Maximum Daily 

Load (TMDL). A TMDL is 

the maximum amount of 

pollutants a water body 

can receive on a daily 

basis without violating 

water quality standards. 

Ohio EPA staff will collect 

water samples and fish 

and other species from 

June through mid-October. 

The physical, biological 

and chemical data will

help determine water quality 

problems in the rivers 

and develop options for 

improving resource quality 

in degraded areas. 

The largest cities on the 

Maumee River are Defiance, 

Napoleon, Perrysburg, 

Maumee and Toledo. 

The majority of the watershed 

is cultivated crop 

land. Approximately 11.5 

percent of the land is urban 

development and several 

communities draw drinking 

water from the 

Maumee River, including 

Bowling Green, McClure, 

Napoleon and Defiance. 

Ohio EPA will share 

results of the study with 

communities in the watershed. 

The agency relies on 

community input to develop 

watershed improvement 

plans. A number of public 

meetings will be held during 

the watershed planwriting 

process. 

Ohio EPA employees 

carry a photo ID and will 

request permission from 

private landowners if 

access to their property is 

needed. 

Many of Carrie Young’s students showed off their best smiles to Principal Steve Lee 

before joining their parents at the schools annual Kindergarten Recognition Program.

levels, miles traveled, average 

vehicle speed and idle 

time. 

Each vehicle operator 

will be equipped with a 

code, which they will be 

required to enter each time 

they use the vehicle. 

“It’s a better way for us 

to see who is coming in and 

out,” said Mr. Hampton. 

Zoning 

The trustees approved a 

zoning change at 847 South 

King Road from an RA4 

residential and C1 commercial 

to RA4 only. 

The township has 

already looked at zoning 

issues in the northwest 

quadrant on Angola Road, 

but did not change some of 

the codes. Zoning enforcement 

officer Jacob Barnes 

said some of the homes 

appear to be foreclosures 

and have been vacant for 

some time. 

“Now would be a good 

time to change it –while it’s 

in limbo, so to speak,” said 

Mr. Barnes. 

Other properties in that 

area also need to be re-evaluated 

due to zoning issues. 

“I think now would be a 

good time to do something 

with this again,” said 

Trustee Bob Bethel. 

Other Business 

In other business, the 

trustees: 

•Learned that 28 new 

zoning permits were issued, 

including three new businesses, 

two new tenants, 

one new restaurant-Del 

Taco and three new 

dwellings. 

The next meeting of the 

board will be at 7 p.m., 

Monday, July 2, at the 

township meeting hall, 

7617 Angola Road. The 

meeting is open to the public.
