Penta board of education approves five year forecast
Brought to you by the sponsors listed on page 4.
By Jane Maiolo
At the October 10 meeting,
the Penta Career Center
board of education approved
a five-year budget forecast
for the center.
Treasurer Carrie Herringshaw
believes revenues will
remain flat over the next
four years, said Judy Sander,
finance committee chairperson.
For the current fiscal
year, revenues are $26.35
million with expenditures at
$26.02 million.
In 2013, those figures
will change as expenditures
are expected to top $26.78
million with revenues at
$26.43 million.
If revenue remains the
same, the gap will grow
through 2017 when Ms.
Herringshaw is predicting
expenditures to exceed revenues
by more than $2 million.
The treasurer said the
state has given no indication
on how it plans to fund
career technical schools.
“There is no indication of an
increase or a decrease. I’m
assuming it will stay constant,
” adding that is a
“huge” assumption.
“Any change that would
decrease career-tech weighted
funding received from the
state would dramatically
impact our operations and
future five-year forecasts,”
she continued.
Ms. Sander said the forecast
also doesn’t take into
account any adjustments
made to staffing or personnel
contracts.
Ms. Herringshaw said
salaries for certificated and
classified personnel will
remain the same through
June 30, 2013, when their
contracts expire. The current
contracts call for no increase
in pay.
The treasurer expects
health insurance premiums
to increase by 10 percent
each year of the forecast and
believes significant changes
will need to be made to the
health plan to contain future
costs.
With revenues unlikely to
change Ms. Herringshaw
advised the board to look at
ways to provide students
with the services they
require within the career
center’s budget.
Superintendent Ron Matter
expressed his appreciation
to the treasurer for the
report, noting that with so
many unknowns, “this is just
a best guess.”
Other Business
In other business, the
school board:
•Employed certified personnel.

•Heard from board member
Joe Rutherford, chair of
the policy/legislative committee,
that the committee
has eight policy changes as
mandated by law for the
board to review.
“It’s amazing the changes
regarding bullying and
aggressive behavior and the
rules pertaining to it. We
didn’t have any of this a few
years ago,” he said, pointing
out that technology has really
exacerbated the problem.
•Approved nine interns

The busy season of leaf
collection has already started
for maintenance crews in
Springfield Township and
the Village of Holland.
Residents are asked to
abide by the following
guidelines.
Springfield Township
In the township, leaf collection
begins October 22
and runs through December
14, weather permitting.
All leaves should be
raked into rows near the
edge of the street, but not
into the street which causes
sewer back-ups.
In all curbed areas, leaf
piles should be located
between the curb and the
sidewalk.
Leaves should not be
placed around utility guide
wires, mailboxes or fire
hydrants, which obstruct
their pick-up.
Do not mix trash, branches,
stones, garden or construction
materials with
leaves.
Leaves should be raked
to the curb as soon as possible
to ensure timely pickup.
The public services
department has split the leaf
collection into three zones.
Zone one runs from King
Road west to Crissey and
Airport Highway north to
Bancroft Street.
The zone includes the
curbed streets of Stone Oak,
Stone Bridge, Timber Ridge,
Cherry Blossom and Water
Park and the uncurbed
streets of North/South County,
King, Layer, Oak Park,
Centennial, Rall, Crissey,
East/West County, Angola,
Raymil, Kieswetter, Hill,
Nebraska, Dorr and Bancroft.
Zone two encompasses
King Road east to Holland
Senior Center, Journal, library
to host pre-school Trick or Treat
The Holland Senior
Center in conjunction with
the Holland-Springfield
Journal, Holland Branch
Library and Holland-
Springfield-Spencer Historical
Society, invites parents
and pre-school children to a
daytime Trick or Treat on
Wednesday, October 31,
from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at the
Lodge at Strawberry Acres
and the library.
The event provides
youngsters with a safe
alternative to evening Trick
or Treat and affords the
early-to-bed crowd a chance
to enjoy Halloween.
“We are ready for the
pre-schoolers,” said Leslie
Ferman, senior center
director, adding that members
are “really looking

By Jane Maiolo
Holland Mayor Mike
Yunker said Ohio’s plan to
centralize income tax collection
for all state municipalities
appears to be “abandoned.”
At the October 16 village
council meeting, the
mayor said he recently
attended a legislative hearing
on the subject.
The mayor first brought
the proposal to council’s
attention in September
2011, noting that the legislation
was in House Bill
153.
He has been adamently
opposed to the collection
because he believes it
would lead to a reduction in
turnaround time for municipalities
to receive their
taxes back from the state.
“With us collecting, it is
an easy, quick service. If it
goes to the state, I don’t
need to tell you how long it
takes and the hassle it is,”
he had said at the time.
He also expressed concern
that the new tax system
would result in disruption
of collection, possibly less
dollars and state administrative
fees.
At last Tuesday’s meeting,
the mayor said he is
pleased the state is reconsidering
the centralized tax
collection.
“They [legislators] have
stepped back from mandatory
collection of income
tax,” he said, but noted that
state officials continue to
look at ways to create tax
uniformity among municipalities.
“I will keep an eye out
and will let you know of
any changes,” he added.
Other Business
In other business, council:
•Approved a change
order of $465 for the Hall
Street project. The extra
funds were used for installation
of blinker signs at the
school crosswalk. The solar
signs currently are set on a
timer to be on in the morning
and afternoon in conjunction
with the start and

The normal route of
township leaf crews is from
east to west, starting with
Holland-Sylvania, and north
to south, starting at Bancroft.
Curbed subdivisions and
areas with a higher density
of trees will be collected
more often due to safety
issues as well as to avoid
clogging sewers.
The collection crews will
pass down each street at
least three to four times during
the season.
Springfield Township
does not collect leaves at
mobile home parks and
apartment complexes or on
private roads.
Residents must secure
their own leaf removal for
the following roads or developments:
Treetop Lane, Castle
Oak and Forest Glen in
Stone Oak; Tremore, Hidden
end of the school day.
But Council President
Lee Irons requested the
lights be left on until later
in the evening due to school
activities and the number of
pedestrians using the crosswalk.
He noted that
although there are streetlights
in the area, that particular
spot is not well lit.
Councilman Noah Stone
agreed, “It’s a dark spot.”
Mayor Yunker said he
will have maintenance
director Bob Simpson look
into the issue.
•Approved the expenditure
of up to $20,000 for the
construction of a third open
air pavilion at Strawberry
Acres Park.
Harbour, Wolf Creek Estates
and Embassy Court.
For more information on
leaf pickup, contact the
Springfield Township Road
Maintenance office at 419-
865-0239, extension 14.
Village of Holland
Leaf collection began
October 1 and will run
through the first weekend of
December, depending on
weather.
Village residents should
make sure that all leaf piles
are placed in narrow rows
along the curb or roadside
and are free of rocks, sticks,
and other items.
The collection schedule
is:
Monday–All streets in
Whisperwood Angola, Clark
and all streets south of the
railroad tracks including
Nightingale.
Thursday–Clarion, Dunn,
Cornwall, Springfield.
Friday–Clarion, McCord,
Georgianna, Erie, Columbus,
Washington, Almaine,
Kipling, Second and Front.
When raking leaves prior
to your designated collection
day, covering the leaf piles
will help to keep the leaves
from scattering in the street,
blowing in your neighbor’s
yard and blocking the catch
basins.
Depending on the
amount of leaves to be collected
per collection day, it
may be necessary to continue
collection of a street to
the next designated collection
day.
Should this occur, do not
place additional leaves to the
curb if your leaves were collected.
Maintenance crews
will not return to already
collected areas of a street
until the next regular collection
day.

The lodge hall will be
lined with seniors, and children
will parade around the
room collecting treats, she
explained. The Journal and
historical society also will
distribute treats.
After visiting the lodge,
parents may walk their
children down a decorated
path to the library, where
staff will be handing out
treats.
Parking for the event
will be available at the
lodge, along Clarion
Avenue and at the library.

Elaine Olsen that the trees
planted several years ago in
the Whisperwood subdivision
have grown in nicely.
“They look stunning. They
are very, very nice trees and
the colors are coming out,”
she said.
•Agreed to purchase an
ad in the 2013 Holland-
Springfield Chamber of
Commerce business directory
at a cost of $325.
•Paid bills in the amount
of $241,810.

Dear Editor:
We want to share our
doubts/concerns regarding
the Affordable Care Act
(ObamaCare) which goes
into effect at the end of 2013.
Primary to our concern is
the effect of this bill on existing
Medicare patients. The
Congressional Budget Office
estimates that $716 billion
will be taken from
Medicare’s budget to help
fund it. This will result in less
and poorer care for seniors.
Many doctors will stop
seeing Medicare patients due
to proposed decreases in payments.
Many seniors will
have problems finding a
physician and will wait an
extended period for an
appointment when they find
a physician. As a result, disease
processes will worsen
and progress.
We realize Medicare is
not perfect and if left
unchanged will be bankrupt
by 2024. We feel other means
will improve this system and
preserve it for younger generations.
Letter to the Editor
Another concern is for
patients who have insurance
through their employers. Premiums,
co-pays and
deductibles are already high
and expected to rise further.
We expect many employers
to terminate insurance plans
and transition employees to
the government plan.
Also, the Affordable Care
Act appoints a panel of nonmedical
personnel who rule
on procedures based on age
and “cost efficiencies.” We
definitely don’t want such
people making decisions
about what procedures/care
can be given our patients.
We take a similar view of
the other federal program,
Medicaid. We see many
patients on Medicaid who
benefit greatly, but some
abuse it by overusing hospitals
and emergency rooms
which drives up costs.
This program needs renovated
to continue to provide
the safety net needed in society.
We continue to care for
Medicaid patients and
request of our politicians that

rules be put in place to insist
on more patient responsibility
that will place it on a sustainable
financial path.
Reforming government
programs will place them on
a more sustainable pathway
to help more Americans
when they need help the
most –during illness. We
don’t feel the Affordable
Care Act will accomplish
this. It will result in poorer
care, longer waiting lines and
inefficient government
bureaucracy, leading to abuses
of the system.

Stop, Drop and Roll!
Stop, Drop, and Roll
were the words echoing
from the various classes at
Holloway this past week.
October 7-13 was Fire
Prevention Week. Students
at Holloway were
involved in many safety
lessons throughout the
week with a culminating
event of having the local
Springfield Township Fire
Department visiting our
kindergarten and first
grade students. Students
had a chance to learn
about the different fire
vehicles, explore the EMT
ambulance, and participate
in the smoke house program.
As part of our monthly
safety procedures, the
building held a fire drill
and a building level “lock
down” drill. Fire drills are
design to have all students
and staff quickly and safely
exit the building and
report to their designated
safety zones. By using
sets of talk-abouts, small
walkie-talkies, the staff
communicates and confirms
that the building is
clear and all persons are
accounted for. In lock
down, all students are
secured in their classrooms
and notified of a
potential situation inside
or outside of our building.
Students in grades K-3
received the information
page and worksheet for
the “Great Escape.” The
information is for parents
to review with their children,
making sure your
home is equipped with a
working fire alarm and
designing and practicing
an emergency escape plan.
These are just two things
you can do to help keep
your family safe from
home fires.

luster of this year’s homecoming
festivities.
The loss drops them to 1-
7 overall and 1-4 in Northern
Lakes League play.
Things turned sour almost
immediately when the
Bobcats squib kicked the
opening kickoff, something
that did not show up in the
Blue Devils’ film study all
week but nonetheless the
team should have been prepared
for it, according to
Head Coach Pat Gucciardo.
The kick bounced off a Blue
Devil on the front line of the
return team and the live ball
was recovered by the Bobcats.
“I’m sure that they were
afraid of our deep guys returning
it,” said Gucciardo.
“It’s something we do cover
on a weekly basis, all the different
types of kicks and
special teams on kickoff returns
and obviously we didn’t
execute very well.”

a pair of three and out
drives that kept the team
from slipping following their
early special teams and offensive
woes.
The Bobcats put the first
points on the board late in
the first quarter on a 15-yard
touchdown pass and benefited
from another fumbled
squib kick following the
score and not recovering an
onside kick later in the half.
“The first one, you know,
you can take that one, that’s
not a problem,” Gucciardo
said. “The second one, you
can’t have that happen twice
and the third one was inexcusable.
It was a good learning
lesson for the kids to see
why we do these things in
practice…or else somebody
can take advantage of you.”
The defense allowed the
Bobcats to score touchdowns
on all three of their
second quarter drives. Meanwhile,

point of attack and make

Things only got worse for
Springfield in the third quarter
when the Bobcats
marched down the field for a
quick six points on a 54-yard
strike, taking advantage of
some confusion in the Blue
Devil secondary along with
a third dropped ball in the
end zone on offense.
“The [safety] coverage
was supposed to be deep
pass and he was playing flat
coverage rolling underneath
it and he got completely lost
and turned around realizing
the coverage late…and obviously
was way behind it,”
Gucciardo said.
The Blue Devils did
notch 14 points in the fourth
quarter but another Bobcat
touchdown between Springfield’s
two scores effectively
sealed the game.
Todd again put in a solid
performance with 142 yards
on the ground despite a pair
of injuries sustained at the
end of each half. Fink also
looked sharp despite a few
picks with 181 yards through
the air and all three touchdown
passes.
“I thought Clay played
very well on Friday,” Gucciardo
said. “He did get his
completions, threw some
great balls that should have
been touchdowns, but he
also missed in some good
spots where [the defense]
couldn’t get it.”
Despite their performances
as well as a strong
showing from junior wideout
Nevada Parker, the Blue
Devils finished winless at
home in Gucciardo’s first
season.
That was something Gucciardo
did not expect eight
weeks ago when the team
first took the field.
He said the players, especially
the seniors, feel at
least as upset about it as him.
“The thing that we’ve
been preaching is our mental
toughness, and we’ve got to
get tougher for this program
to evolve, [we can’t] take for
granted how tough kids are
traditionally in high school
football,” he added.
“They’re not used to
being tough. It’s not an easy
game by any stretch, and you
have to be mean. You have
to be nasty and right now,
that’s not where we’re at and
we’ve got to get there.”
Tight end Ben Steedman, a senior, picks up a first down
for the Blue Devils during the Homecoming game.

PET OF THE WEEK
LITTLE MAN
Little Man is a 3-yearold
male German Shepherd
mix. He was brought into
the Toledo Area Humane
Society through the cruelty
department because his
owner could not afford to
take care of him.
Little Man is a shy and
independent dog who likes
to be his own boss. He will
seek you out when he
wants some attention, or he
may choose to enjoy a little
time by himself.
Little Man lived with other dogs in his previous home
and was friendly and playful with the group. Having another
dog in the house may help him adjust to a new home. He has
never been around cats and should be properly introduced
to any cats that live in the home. He has been neutered, examined
by a staff veterinarian, is current on his vaccinations,
and is microchipped.
For more information, visit the Toledo Area Humane Society,

The Ohio State Highway
Patrol will be participating in
National School Bus Safety
week which runs October 22
through 26. This year’s
theme, “I See the Driver. The
Driver Sees Me!” reminds
children to look both ways
and wait for the go ahead
from the bus driver before
crossing the roadway.
Throughout the week,
troopers across the state of
Ohio will be highly visible,
enforcing the law in and
around school zones and following
school buses on their
daily routes. In addition,
troopers may be found riding
on school buses looking for
motorists passing the stopped
school bus and other crashcausing
violations.
The greatest risk to children
occurs outside the
school bus, as injuries and fatalities
result from motorists
who attempt to pass a stopped
school bus. Ohio law requires
motorists approaching
from either direction of a
stopped school bus to stop at

least 10 feet from a bus loading
or unloading passengers.
If a school bus is stopped on a
road divided into four or more
lanes, only traffic driving in
the same direction as the bus
must stop.
“While school buses remain
the safest mode of travel
on Ohio roadways, school bus
crashes still occur,” said
Colonel John Born, Patrol superintendent.
“In order to
make this school year safe,
we need motorists to be patient
and never pass a stopped
school bus and for children to
always wait for their bus
driver to signal it is safe to
cross the roadway.”
From 2009-11, Ohio reported
4,946 crashes involving
a school bus. During that
same time period, troopers issued
1,333 citations for passing
a stopped school bus.

Character Counts
Each month, faculty and
staff at Crissey Elementary
School recognize students
who have exemplified exceptional
character related
to a specific trait.
The character trait that
students focused on for the
month of September was responsibility.
Throughout the month,
‘Seussical the Musical’ to be performed at Notre Dame Academy
“Seussical the Musical”
will be performed on October
26, and 27, at 7 p.m., and
October 28, at 2 p.m., at the
Ave Maria Performing Arts
Center at Notre Dame Academy,
3535 West Sylvania
Avenue.
In the musical, the Cat in
the Hat tells the story of
Horton, an elephant who
discovers a speck of dust
containing Whos, including
Jojo, a Who child sent off to
a butter battling military
school for thinking too many
“thinks.”
Horton’s attention to the
speck of dust and his “loitering”
care of Mayzie
LaBird’s egg has elicited
taunting and accusations
from the rest of the animal
kingdom, except for
Gertrude McFuzz, who
longs for his attention, and
JoJo, whose “thinks” save
them all in the end.
More than 75 students
from Notre Dame Academy,
St. John’s Jesuit High
School and St. Francis de
Sales High School are involved
in the production.
For more information,
visit the Web site at
www.nda.org, or by calling

the Crissey staff helped students
understand what it
means to be responsible.
Students had an opportunity
to demonstrate responsibility
throughout all aspects of
their school day.
Some ways responsibility
was displayed by students
was in completing
homework, cleaning-up tables
at lunch, helping
friends at recess, and following
school rules.

Pumpkins, corn stalks, mums, fall arrangements, Halloween
and fall décor, gifts, trees, and shrubs were available
for purchase, and some of the items were made by
students in other programs. Several instructors also displayed
their work.
The event also featured a homemade apple butter stir
made on site. The sweet concoction sold quickly before it
had time to cool in the jars.
Above, from left, are Springfield Schools and floral program
students Nicole Heffner, Jenna Tussing and Ashley
Soules. Enrolled in the floral design program, the students
display some of the flower arrangements available for purchase.

will be available.

We Will Keep Ourselves
and Others Safe …
Each morning the students
hear this phrase on the
announcements as one of the
Dorr Statements of Belief.
In honoring this Belief at
Dorr, we recognized Fire
Safety Week with our students
and had special visitors
at our school to provide
education in fire safety.
Our local Springfield
Township Fire Department
sent representatives to share
their expertise with our
kindergarten students about
how to keep safe in preventing
fires and what to do in
the event of a fire.
The students were able to
participate in a presentation
on kitchen safety, view the
equipment on the fire truck,
try on fire safety gear, and
move through the fire safety
trailer.
We are thankful for our
wonderful community con-
