Stone Oak ladies 18 Hole League ventures ‘Into the Wild’ 

On August 6 the Stone Oak Country Club Ladies 18 Hole League 

ventured “Into the Wild” for their annual invitational. Event chairs Claire 

Blythe, Sue Cardone, Mary Faust, Jole Harmon and Deb Lantz organized 

the African safari-themed event, which featured a feast of elephant 

ears, bearclaws and jungle juice in the morning and animal goodie 

bags which were distributed to golfers prior to their adventure on the 

fairways. 

The “jungle house” at the turn featured authentic jungle sounds and 

frozen bananas dipped in chocolate. After finishing their safari on the 

greens, the lady golfers returned to the club house to find visitors from 

the Toledo Zoo. Josh Minor, education program manager, accompanied 

by zoo staff Dave Lockert and Steve Oswanski brought a Burmese 

python, Chinese alligator, African frog and wallaby. 

The 100-pound, 29-year-old python named Monty after the popular 

British comedy, took attendees by surprise. Mr. Minor explained that 

Monty, who has teeth and a mouth with extra ligaments to help it to 

stretch, eats one, 10-pound rabbit every five weeks. “But we don’t feed 

it live rabbits,” he added. 

Mr. Lockert took Mushu, the Chinese dragon out for visitors to see. 

“Mushu has 70 really, really sharp teeth,” he said. The dragon, which 

can grow five to seven feet long, eats shellfish and crayfish. “He’d eat 

chicken if he could find it,” he added. 

The bullfrog, affectionately named Prince Charming, has been at the

A state plan to widen I- 

75 to three lanes all the way 

through Wood County was 

warmly welcomed by 

regional officials last week. 

“This is about jobs. This 

is about opportunity. This is 

about safety for our citizens 

and putting people back to 

work,” said Todd Audet, 

deputy director of the Ohio 

Department of Transportation’s 

District Two. 

Ohio Governor John 

Kasich’s Jobs and Transportation 

Plan includes 41 

new projects across the 

state valued at nearly $3 billion. 

In northwest Ohio, the 

state will invest more than 

$495 million on 10 projects 

including reconstructing 

and upgrading I-75 from the 

Michigan border to Findlay. 

Local officials celebrated 

the transportation plan 

with an outdoor press conference 

August 1 at the 

Ohio Turnpike Toll Facility, 

Bates Road, Rossford. 

“This is a great day,” 

said Toledo Mayor Mike 

Bell, thanking the governor 

and ODOT. 

The mayor admitted the 

public might find it odd for 

him to appear at a press 

conference on Wood County 

construction projects. 

But as “regional partners,” 

he believes all area 

residents should appreciate 

the value of good roadways 

–plus the jobs that 

will be created. 

“If we don’t have the 

infrastructure, we can’t do 

the things we need to do,” 

he said. 

Any road improvements 

will benefit residents and 

businesses using I-75 and I- 

475, the mayor added. 

“This right here puts 

people back to work,” he 

said, “It is going to directly 

affect Toledoans.” 

Calling it “an aggressive 

jobs and transportation 

plan,” Mr. Audet estimated 

the work will create 60,000 

jobs. 

Beginning in spring 

2014, the widening of I-75 

in Wood County is being 

divided into four projects, 

totaling $196 million. 

With four phases, Mr. 

Audet explained, more 

companies will be able to 

bid on the work. 

The widening of I-75 

through northwest Ohio was 

advanced more than 13 

years ahead of the state’s 

original schedule, he added. 

“2027 is just too long for 

us to wait,” he said. 

The Transportation 

“This right here puts people back to work. It is going to directly affect Toledoans,” 

Toledo Mayor Mike Bell said. Wood County Commissioner Jim Carter and Lucas County 

Commissioner Carol Contrada are seated. 

zoo for about eight months. “He is an adult and will eat anything that he 

can fit in his mouth,” said Mr. Minor. 

The baby wallaby, RJ, attracted the most attention. RJ lost his mother, 

and the staff has taken care of him since infancy, explained Mr. 

Oswanski. “He’s about five to six months old and has been bottle fed,” 

he said, adding that RJ spends much of his time in a special pouch carried 

by zoo staff. The young wallaby will remain in the pouch for another 

few months before he is mature enough to emerge. 

After visiting with the zoo animals, the lady linksters enjoyed a luncheon 

featuring a wild venue of foods. At the luncheon, tournament 

winners were announced. Taking top honors was the team of Maryann 

Laritz, Sallee Burns, Marianne Carpenter and Karen Uebelhart followed 

by the second place team of Dorothy Sheehan, Debbie Labelle, Dusty 

Foreman and Kim Hamilton. 

Clockwise from top left: dressed for the safari are event planner Jole 

Harmon, guest Meg Milano, planner Sue Cardone and guest Barb

from the Toledo Zoo; Mr. Lockert shows off Mishu to Karen Baither,

explains that the marsupial is carried in a pouch to mimic his natural 

environment; the ladies keep a conservative distance from Monty. Several 

golfers, upon seeing the python, shrieked “I hate snakes” before 

circumventing the slithery reptile. 

‘An aggressive jobs and transportation plan’ 

Plan for widening I-75 from Findlay to Mich. border praised 

Review Advisory Council 

(TRAC) of ODOT last 

week voted on a draft list of 

projects that include this 

work. Next, the Ohio Turnpike 

Commission is expected 

to approve the list, he 

said. 

Wood County Commissioner 

Jim Carter noted that 

“a few miles to the south, 

there’s only two lanes of I- 

75” where the movement of 

freight is frequent. 

“I-75 is the among the 

largest and busiest intermodal 

state corridors for 

trucking on the continent, 

making it a major intermodal 

national truck corridor,” 

he said. 

ODOT’s work will 

strengthen intermodal links 

and directly support the 

CSX hub in North Baltimore 

at the southern end of 

the county. 

Mr. Carter explained 

how goods arrive in Wood 

County after being shipped 

from Asia and traveling by 

rail from the West Coast. 

Upon reaching North Baltimore, 

they can continue on 

to the East Coast via CSX 

rail or be distributed by 

truck using I-75 and the 

turnpike. 

He described this area as 

“an emerging economic 

engine in Ohio and the U.S. 

as a whole.” 

Peter Craig, CSX terminal 

superintendent at North 

Baltimore, praised the 

widening project because 

“our intermodal partners 

will have better access to 

our facility.” 

CSX is planning to 

expand its North Baltimore 

facility by another onethird, 

assisted by another 

state grant, he said. 

“These investments in 

rail and the highway are 

reminders of how important 

transportation is in northwest 

Ohio,” he said. 

Lucas County Commissioner 

Carol Contrada 

agreed that residents should 

recognize the vitality of the 

major intersection. 

Pointing in four directions, 

she noted that the two 

major roadways–I-75 and 

the turnpike–connect New 

York City with San Francisco, 

and Sault Ste. Marie, 

Michigan with Naples, 

Florida. 

“This is the spot–the hub 

of transportation,” said Mrs. 

Contrada, who also serves 

as the executive chair of the 

Toledo Metropolitan Area 

Council of Governments 

(TMACOG). 

Long-term TMACOG 

studies have indicated how 

vital the widening of I-75 is 

to the region, she said. 

She described the work 

as “a major, immediate economic 

impact in northwest 

Ohio–it creates jobs now.” 

Later phases of the 

ODOT work will cover I-75 

and I-475, she explained, 

including the widening of I- 

75 from the Phillips Avenue 

exit to I-280. 

Mrs. Contrada also noted 

that better access will be 

available to the eight major 

distribution facilities in the 

area, including FedEx, UPS 

Walgreen’s, Best Buy and 

Lowe’s. 

“And the reach of the I- 

75 corridor is vital to the 

automotive industry,” she 

added.

Hill Avenue residents, neighbors address 

twp. trustees regarding condition of parcel 

By Jane Maiolo 

Complaints lodged at a 

July Springfield Township 

trustees meeting by a neighbor 

against a Hill Avenue 

property owner prompted 

residents of the acreage to 

defend their position to the 

trustees. 

The parcel at 8134 Hill 

Avenue is owned by Owen 

Bridgett, who has been cited 

by the Lucas County Health 

Department for keeping 

numerous tires, a violation 

of the department’s regulations, 

on his property. 

Additionally, the property 

contains construction 

materials, debris and overgrown 

vegetation. 

At the August 5 trustees 

meeting, Kevin Eldridge, 

8134 Hill Avenue, contended 

that there have been misconceptions 

about the parcel 

and his role in maintaining it 

for Mr. Bridgett. 

“I’m not the mean, evil 

person you think I am,” he 

said. “Everything I’ve done 

is to improve it [property].” 

He admits, the project is 

large and time consuming. 

“I know it’s a mess,” he 

said. “I have good intentions 

to clean it up.” 

He accused both the 

neighbor and township zoning 

inspector Jacob Barnes 

of making the issue “personal.” 

He acknowledged there 

are tires and construction 

debris on the property and 

has asked the court for additional 

time to remove the 

tires. 

Mr. Eldridge insisted he 

is not ignoring the parcel’s 

The Springfield Township 

fiscal officer who 

resigned earlier this year 

amidst serious financial discrepancies 

is planning an 

attempt to return to township 

office. 

Paul Hoag has filed to 

run for Springfield Township 

trustee in the November 

5 election, according to the 

Lucas County Board of 

Elections. 

August 7 was the deadline 

for township and school 

board candidates to file with 

the Board of Elections. 

Two seats on the board of 

township trustees–currently 

held by Marylin Yoder and 

Bob Bethel–are up for election 

this fall. 

Both incumbents filed for 

re-election. 

Mr. Hoag was questioned 

by the trustees when he did 

not provide adequate calculations 

and financial data to 

create a 2013 township budget. 

The Ohio Auditor’s 

Office reported a number of 

findings in its audit of 2011 

records. 

Mr. Hoag had served as 

fiscal officer since June 

2011 when he was appointed 

to replace Lisa Chamberlain. 

He was elected to the office 

in November 2011, running 

condition. “All I want is to 

make them a nice place to 

live. That’s the God’s honest 

truth.” 

He expressed uncertainty 

as to what the trustees are 

expecting from him. “I don’t 

know what you guys want 

from me. I’m doing the best 

I can.” 

Trustee Bob Bethel asked 

whether Mr. Eldridge had 

allowed dumping to occur 

on the property. 

Mr. Eldridge responded 

that he has accepted clean 

fill as approved by the county, 

including construction 

debris. 

He also brought tires to 

the site and intended to 

remove them, but without 

the proper license has been 

unable to transport them out 

of state for disposal. 

Trustee Marylin Yoder 

questioned how Mr. 

Eldridge planned to take 

care of the tire situation. 

“I can haul 10 at a time 

to the landfill,” he responded, 

adding that to haul more 

requires special permission 

from the county. 

He continued, “If people 

would learn to mind their 

own business, none of this 

would have ever happened.” 

Mr. Bethel noted that the 

Bridgett parcel concerns 

neighbors because “what 

you do on your property 

affects the values around 

you.” 

“I understand you got a 

lot of complaints,” said Mr. 

Eldridge. 

Trustee Andy Glenn 

pointed out that those complaints 

and the steps taken

Former fiscal officer to run

unopposed. 

The township fiscal officer 

position was filled this 

spring by Barbara Dietze of 

Maumee. She was appointed 

by the trustees after Mr. 

Hoag resigned March 15. 

Ms. Dietze has filed with 

the Board of Elections to 

run for fiscal officer. 

James Beck of Holland 

and Michael Uhl of Holland 

also filed to campaign for 

township fiscal clerk. Both 

had applied with the trustees 

to be appointed to the position 

earlier this year. 

The November ballot 

will see three seats up for 

election on the Springfield 

Board of Education. 

Incumbent board members 

Everett Harris and 

Sherri Koback filed to run 

for re-election. 

However, board member 

Nancy Decker is not seeking 

re-election. 

Richard Helminski, assistant 

township fire chief, also 

filed to campaign for school 

board. 

There will be four seats 

on Holland Village Council 

up for election in November. 

Candidates interested in 

filing for those positions 

have a deadline of August 

22 with the Board of Elections. 

by the township to rectify 

the situation would never 

have occurred had the parcel 

been properly maintained. 

Mr. Bethel agreed, “You 

have got to recognize that 

actions have consequences.” 

Added Mr. Glenn, “The 

place is an eyesore.” 

“Then why are you looking 

at it” Mr. Eldridge 

asked. 

“You can’t help but 

notice it,” responded the 

trustee. 

Mr. Bethel interjected, 

“You made some of the 

mess,” noting that Mr. 

Eldridge acknowledged 

allowing clean fill to be 

dropped off and storing tires 

on the site. “The point is, all 

we want is the property 

cleaned up.” 

Mr. Eldridge countered 

that he plans to clean it up 

but needs more time. 

Mr. Glenn pointed out 

that the parcel has been in 

disrepair for years. “At some 

point, the township has to 

step in. Something has to be 

done when the time it’s taking 

to clean it up is unreasonable.” 

When Mr. Eldridge questioned 

why he was never 

contacted regarding the parcel’s 

condition, Administrator 

Leslie Kohli responded 

that the township sent 

notices to Mr. Bridgett. 

“Attempts were made to 

contact the owner and were 

ignored for several months,” 

she said, adding that the 

issue finally has gone to 

court. 

Mrs. Yoder questioned 

whether the parcel is being 

used in accordance with its 

agricultural zoning regulations. 

Mr. Eldridge said he is 

selling bedding and firewood, 

but upon further 

questioning by Mrs. Yoder, 

he responded that he had not 

sold any firewood or bedding. 

Mildred Clark, of South 

Centennial Road, defended 

Mr. Eldridge. “He has plans 

to really develop that. He 

shovels snow for us. He’s a 

good man. What harm are 

the tires doing” she asked. 

Mr. Glenn responded, 

“It’s not a permitted use.” 

Ms. Clark offered to help 

her neighbor dispose of the 

tires. 

Mr. Glenn said if the tires 

are removed and the issues 

in front of the house are 

brought into zoning compliance 

then “we’re done.” 

Frank Ulch of Hill 

Avenue also defended his 

neighbor. “I don’t think it’s 

an eyesore myself. He’s 

done a lot on that property, 

and I’ve seen improvements. 

I’m here on behalf of Kevin 

to offer assistance financially 

and legally.” 

Mr. Bridgett told the 

trustees he doesn’t have 

much money, but is doing 

the best he can. “I’m getting 

tired of everybody picking 

on me. I think it’s personal,” 

he said, adding, “And 

Kevin’s like a son to me.” 

Mr. Glenn reiterated that 

conditions at the parcel need 

to be cleaned up and the 

work must be performed in a 

reasonable amount of time. 

“It shouldn’t take four years 

to clean up.” 

The trustees authorized 

Mr. Barnes to draft a list of 

what needs to be done to 

bring the property in

Letter to Editor 

Dear Editor: 

While I agree with 

Springfield Township Fire 

Chief Cousino that there is a 

cost factor in maintaining 

fire houses and equipment, I 

do not believe this is the 

time for an additional levy 

at almost three times the increase 

plus the original levy 

itself. 

Economic growth and 

employment in the Lucas 

County area has not done 

much of anything in the last 

five to eight years. 

With that in mind I now 

travel 60 miles one way to 

work and make less than I 

did in 2008. 

This also is going on 

while everything is going up 

around us–just look at your 

utility bills and grocery receipts. 

I’m maintaining my 

home and vehicles on less 

money today than I did in 

2007. 

This is all you hear about 

in this area: no jobs, the 

brain drain, the underemployed, 

the unemployed, 

and the retirees who just 

about have nothing in costof- 

living increases. 

So the first thing you 

know with these levy increases, 

when they’re 

passed, the money has to 

come from somewhere and 

that is the homeowners. 

We are all cutting back 

on our home and vehicle 

maintenance and improvements 

to satisfy the levies’ 

obligations–only to watch 

our homes and vehicles go 

into disrepair after a length 

of time. 

This, in turn, lowers the 

value of the properties 

which results in less taxes 

collected when home valuations 

are done. 

So what would be a good 

suggestion is a little increase 

over time. Many Springfield 

residents do not have the 

extra money at this time for 

these levies (fire and school) 

with many more levy increases 

to come.

compliance with zoning regulations 

and a time frame in 

which the work must be performed. 

Al Brogan, township attorney, 

recommended the list 

include time, place and dates 

with respect to removal of 

the debris, tires and a commercial 

truck. 

In addition, Mr. Bethel reminded 

Mr. Eldridge to continue 

with removal of the 

tires. “If you have court orders, 

you need to do those.” 

Ms. Kohli agreed, “What 

the health department is 

doing is separate.” 

Other Business 

In other business, the 

trustees: 

•Declared as a nuisance a 

property at 749 Harefoote 

Street and authorized the 

zoning inspector to cut down 

vegetation on the property 

and secure the house. 

“There is a vacant home 

in disrepair, and the owner 

has not responded to any of 

our violation notices,” explained 

Mr. Barnes. 

The cost to abate the parcel 

will be placed as a lien on 

the property’s real estate 

taxes. 

•Reviewed the zoning 

permit report for the month 

of July. The zoning department 

issued 30 permits and 

collected fees of $1,525. 

Of those permits four 

were for new dwellings, 

three for new businesses, and 

one was for a new charter 

school. 

•Heard from Mr. Barnes 

that the board of zoning appeals 

approved a variance

Toledo Restaurant Training 

Center (TRTC) is proud to 

announce its new director of 

culinary education and head 

chef instructor, Mr. Jerry 

Nottage. Chef Jerry will start 

at TRTC this fall semester, 

August 26. 

Formerly of Detroit, 

Michigan, Chef Jerry is a seasoned 

master chef with more 

than 25 years of experience in 

the culinary world. Chef 

Jerry’s artful use of ingredients 

has earned him a reputation 

as one of the most 

imaginative and talented 

chefs on the American Culinary 

scene. Prior to his arrival 

to Toledo, Chef Jerry led culinary 

teams for both Seldom 

Blues and Sweet Georgia 

Brown’s restaurants to create 

fabulous menus that brought 

diners from Detroit and surrounding 

suburbs in to enjoy 

many of his signature dishes. 

Chef Jerry also has served as 

executive chef at the Marriott’s 

Parkway Grille in Pontiac, 

Michigan, and at the 

Sambucca Jazz Café in Houston, 

Texas. 

Recognized nationally for 

his culinary prowess, Chef 

Jerry has prepared for international 

dignitaries and 

celebrities such as the Queen 

of England, the Duchess of 

York, Tavis Smiley, Sidney 

Poiter and Audrey Hepburn. 

The Queen of Soul Aretha 

Franklin was accompanied 

by Chef Jerry Nottage at Seldom 

Blue’s restaurant as his 

executive concept chef. Chef 

Jerry stated “Miss Franklin 

was in Seldom Blues restaurant 

a lot, and we featured her 

trout amandine on the menu.” 

Chef Jerry Nottage has added 

a number of upscale restaurants 

in Detroit to his extensive 

portfolio including the 

Grand City Grille at the corner 

of West Grand Boulevard 

in the Fisher Building. 

“Chef Jerry has some wonderful 

ideas and experiences 

planned for the students at 

TRTC this year, which will 

set them apart from any other 

culinary school in this area” 

says Karen Everage, executive 

director of TRTC. She 

added there are some exciting 

times planned ahead that are 

going to be fabulous for the 

school, as well as for the 

community.

The Wood County Historical 

Center will host the 

Smithsonian traveling exhibit 

“Journey Stories,” August 10 

through September 15, at the 

Wood County Historical Museum, 

13660 County Home 

Road in Bowling Green. 

Journey Stories is a compelling 

Smithsonian exhibition 

that shows how our 

evolving mobility changed 

our young nation and how 

transportation made us grow. 

The accounts of travelers 

themselves express the hopes 

and promises of fresh starts, 

grim realities of forced migration, 

and the thrills of personal 

travel. 

In addition to the Smithsonian 

exhibit, a local exhibit 

will connect these national 

concepts to Wood County and 

the County Infirmary, now 

the site of the historical museum. 

To further accentuate local 

journey stories, a series of 

programs include topics such 

as the symbolism of covered 

bridges, the journey to the 

Wood County Infirmary, 

Ohio canals, and the journey 

of corn across Ohio. 

Summer reading lists will 

be provided at participating 

libraries, and the museum’s 

Facebook page will provide a 

forum to share personal and 

family journey stories. Details 

on all programs can be 

found online at woodcounty 

history.org or by calling 419- 

352-0967. The museum is 

open Tuesday through Friday, 

from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 

and weekends, from 1 to 4 

p.m., with extended hours 

during special events. 

This exhibit is made possible 

by the Museum on Main 

Street (MoMS) program, 

which provides a partnership 

between the Smithsonian Institution 

and the Ohio Humanities 

Council to allow 

rural museums to showcase 

meaningful contributions to 

small-town life. 

County Historical Museum hosts Smithsonian exhibit ‘Journey Stories’ 

The Town Center at Levis 

Commons will be transformed 

into an outdoor art 

gallery when it hosts the 

ninth annual Fine Art Fair 

Saturday and Sunday, August 

17 and 18. 

The event is presented by 

the Guild of Artists and Artisans. 

Admission and parking 

are free. 

More than 125 artists 

from across the country 

have been invited to show 

their work at this juried 

event. 

Artwork will be featured 

including ceramics, glass, 

painting, drawing, multimedia, 

sculpture, photography, 

fiber, leather, wood, 

jewelry and more. 

Local participants include 

Clyde Vermillion of Perrysburg, 

photography; Candra 

Boggs of Perrysburg, mixed 

media, and Wanda Zuchowski-Schick, 

Rossford, painting. 

The fair will provide a 

free children’s art activity 

center presented by the 

Toledo School for the Arts. 

TSA students will help children 

with a variety of craft 

projects for all ages. Face 

painting will be offered free 

of charge. 

Adjacent to the children’s 

area, TSA Artisan’s Guild 

will have a booth of items 

for sale created by students 

in this year’s summer program. 

Children’s 

activities 

hours are Saturday, 11 a.m. 

to 6 p.m. and Sunday, 11 

a.m. to 5 p.m. 

The fair is produced by 

the Guild of Artists & Artisans, 

the same group behind 

the Ann Arbor Summer Art 

Fair and the Crocker Park 

Art Fair in Westlake, Ohio. 

“The guild’s mission is to 

help cultivate an appreciation 

for unique hand-crafted 

artwork,” said Debra “Max” 

Clayton, guild executive director. 

“The art fair is a special 

opportunity for art lovers to 

meet the artists in person and 

learn more about their inspiration 

and their process. 

Knowing the artist gives the 

art purchase special meaning.” 

This photo by Clyde Vermillion of Perrysburg is among the 

art featured at the event.

S TATE APPROVED CAREER EDUCATION PROGRAM 

 

the program with our families 

and suggest ways you 

can assist your child at 

home. 

If you have driven by the 

district over the summer 

you have noticed a great 

deal of activity in the student 

lot across from the 

high school as well as at the 

west end of the football 

field. This work is being 

done in preparation for the 

railroad underpass project. 

This project is not funded 

by the district but is the 

beginning of the phases for 

what will be a four-year 

project to construct an 

underpass at the McCord 

road tracks. I will continue 

to share information with 

you as the project goes 

along. 

The Board of Education 

has placed a 2.9-mill operating 

levy on the November 

ballot. The board is committed 

to providing an 

excellent education for 

every student while at the 

same time remaining fiscally 

responsible to our taxpayers. 

Over the past several 

months the Board of Education 

members have been 

struggling with the question 

of placing an operating levy 

on the ballot. When it was 

reported that Springfield 

Schools would receive 

much needed support 

through provisions in the 

biennial budget proposed by 

Governor John Kasich, 

action was taken to delay 

placing a levy in on the ballot 

in February 2013 in the 

hope that the proposed 

increase in state funding 

would cover many currently 

unfunded mandates as well 

as loss in local funds, federal 

funding and tangible tax 

reimbursements. However, 

as many are aware, that 

support did not become 

reality when the budget was 

signed into law in late 

June–quite the contrary 

occurred. Therefore, we 

will be asking our community 

to support the 2.9-mill 

operating levy in November. 

More information will 

be forthcoming. 

The 2013-14 school year 

promises to be exciting as 

we implement a new curriculum, 

course offerings, 

programs, student events 

and many wonderful 

changes in technology will 

be taking place for our students, 

families and community. 

Stay tuned for a great 

new year.

Holland Huntington Learning Center offers back-to-school tips 

It is back-to-school time, 

and if your student’s summer 

has been filled with trips to 

the pool, hanging out with 

friends, television and video 

games, and other leisurely 

activities, now is the time to 

transition from summer to 

school mode. 

“We always encourage 

families to relax and enjoy 

the less structured pace of 

summertime,” said Terri Zarnick 

of the Holland Huntington 

Learning Center. “However, 

there are several things 

you can do toward the end of 

summer break that are 

immensely helpful in getting 

students ready to return to 

the classroom.” 

Ms. Zarnick offers these 

six back-to-school tips: 

1. Set goals. Goal-setting 

is a great way to help your 

child reflect on last school 

year and think ahead about 

what he or she wants to 

accomplish and avoid this 

year. Talk with your child 

about the things he or she is 

excited and anxious about 

and have him or her set several 

goals and measurable 

milestones. You can do this 

just before classes start or 

during the first week of 

school. 

2. Organize the desk and 

home. Get your house back 

into “school shape” by designating 

spots for important 

school papers that come 

home, a family calendar, 

backpacks, shoes and jackets, 

and a homework station. 

Your child’s homework station 

could be a desk in a bedroom 

or other room. Make 

sure it is stocked with the 

supplies he or she will need 

for the school year, and have 

your child help get the space 

ready. 

3. Re-establish a schedule. 

Talk with your child 

about the school-day routine, 

including wake-up time, 

school hours, homework 

time, dinner time and any 

extracurricular activities in 

which he or she will participate 

during the week. In the 

week or two before school, 

try to have your child go to 

bed and wake up at approximately 

the same times as 

during the school year.

Summer break is almost 

over for Ohio students–and 

for many, the upcoming 

journey to and from school 

will require trips on a 

school bus. That is why the 

Ohio State Highway Patrol 

is reminding drivers to pay 

attention and be alert for 

stopped school busses. 

“Although drivers of all 

vehicles are required to 

stop for a school bus when 

it is stopped to load or 

unload passengers, children 

should not rely on them to 

do so,” said Colonel Paul 

Pride, patrol superintendent. 

“Children exiting the 

bus should always stop and 

look both ways before

PET OF THE WEEK 

BRONCO 

Bronco is a 4-year-old 

male rat terrier mix. The 

Toledo Area Humane Society 

took him in from another 

shelter so that we 

could help him find a nice 

home. 

Bronco is a little guy 

weighing only 19 pounds. 

He loves to meet new people 

and is happiest when 

there is someone around to 

keep him company. 

Bronco thinks he is a lap 

dog and will love to find a home with someone who will not 

mind lots of company. Bronco is peppy, enjoys going for 

walks, and loves to do silly things that will make you laugh. 

He gets along well with dogs that respect his personal space 

and he looks forward to seeing new visitors when they stop 

by the shelter. If you are looking for an outgoing little companion, 

Bronco may just be a good match for you. 

Bronco has been neutered, examined by a TAHS staff 

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

‘Red, White & Bark’ BBQ to be held August 24 

To kick-off the fourth annual 

American Cancer Society

Bark for Life” one-mile dog

BBQ will be held on Saturday, 

August 24, from 6 to 11 

p.m., at the Carranor Hunt 

and Polo Club. 

The evening event includes 

a BBQ chicken and rib 

buffet, silent auction, dancing,

A jazz band, JazzAddiction 

features guitarist Chris 

Buzzelli, vocalist Morgen 

Stiegler, bassist Rick Luettke,

Jim Seibold, and vocalist 

Paul Cummings. 

The group’s song list will 

consist of several very 

smooth jazz instrumentals, 

some well-known jazz vocal 

standards and a few pop 

tunes. 

Emcee for the evening is 

Jeff Smith, 13 ABC news anchor. 

Mr. Smith has anchored 

the number one morning 

news program in northwest

Good Morning,” since 2001. 

He also co-anchors the news 

at noon and hosts and produces 

the station’s community 

affairs program, 

“Roundtable.” 

“Last year, our Bark BBQ 

raised more than $6,000, and 

it was a great time for all,” 

said Deb Buker, Bark for Life 

chairperson. “And back by 

popular demand is Jeff Smith. 

We are so pleased that he is 

taking time out of his busy 

schedule to join us for this 

event again this year. Bark is 

going jazz with JazzAddiction, 

and we are very excited. 

Also, we have wonderful 

silent auction items and the 

ever-popular Lotto tree filled 

with more than $350 worth of 

lottery tickets. 

“Most importantly, all the 

proceeds will benefit the ACS 

of northwest Ohio.” 

The committee is seeking 

silent auction items for the 

BBQ. To donate, contact Mrs. 

Buker at 419-344-6284 or 

send an e-mail to 

dbuker@bex.net. 

Tickets are $40 per person,

friends.”

unconditional love, security, 

joy, compassion and no

way to “take the bite out of 

cancer,” smile and make new 

friends–canine and human.

Back to school budgeting suggestions 

We’ve had some unanticipated 

expenses this summer, 

so we’re looking for 

ways to trim spending on 

back-to-school clothes and 

other items. Any tips We 

have three children, in elementary, 

middle and high 

school. 

Although your economic 

situation right now may be 

challenging, you can use 

this time of belt-tightening 

as a teachable moment for 

your children. 

Parents often try to keep 

family financial struggles 

hidden from their children 

so they won’t be burdened 

with adult concerns. But if 

you matter-of-factly explain 

that money is tight and 

you’ll have to cut back on 

some expenses, you can map 

out some money-saving 

strategies with them. Use 

this time to help them determine 

the difference between 

“wants” and “needs.” This 

will be a tool they will be 

able to use for a lifetime. 

Here are some things to 

consider: 

First, figure out what you 

need to buy. What can you 

use from last year What is 

absolutely essential to purchase 

now 

Determine how much 

money you can spend for 

each child for clothing and 

supplies. Note that this

The Clean Ohio Fund was 

first approved by voters in 

2000, and was renewed in 

2008. 

The fund calls for $400 

million to preserve natural 

areas and farmland, protect 

streams, create outdoor 

recreation opportunities, and 

rehabilitate brownfields in 

urban areas. 

Between 2000 and 2012, 

the Clean Ohio fund returned 

more than $8 million 

to Lucas County for the protection 

of open spaces and 

wetlands.

might not be an equal 

amount, depending on each 

child’s needs. 

Work with your children 

to investigate the best bargains. 

If you have, say, $40 

to spend on clothing, you 

might be able to find a good 

sale at a discount store to enable 

you to buy a pair of 

jeans, a pair or two of shorts, 

and several shirts. You could 

also go to a thrift shop and 

use that money to buy double 

or triple the amount of 

clothing. 

Or you could find bargains 

at garage sales and 

possibly find that you don’t 

even need the entire $40 to 

purchase what’s needed. Let 

your children help make the 

decision as to how to spend 

their allotted share. If one of 

the kids decides, for example, 

that he or she would 

prefer to buy brand new 

clothes instead of secondhand 

even though they will 

get fewer items, that’s a 

valid choice as long as they 

can find what they need and 

still stay within budget. 

Make a list before shopping, 

and stick to it. It’s very 

easy to get swept away 

when you’re at the store or 

even at a yard sale. Have 

your list in hand and focus 

on buying only the items on 

the list. 

Only when you finish 

getting everything you need 

should you allow yourself to 

splurge on the extras — and 

then only if you can remain 

in budget. 

Realize that you don’t 

need to buy clothing for the 

entire school year in one fell 

swoop. 

Now is a good time because 

of back-to-school 

sales, but there will be other 

sales soon in the future, and 

today’s bargains might be 

discounted even more on tomorrow’s 

clearance racks.
