Held on the overpassjust west of Fallen TimbersMall, the event opened withthe playing of the NationalAnthem by the AnthonyWayne Generals marchingband.Following the recitationof the Pledge of Allegiance,Jerry Wray, ODOT executivedirector, spoke to acrowd of more than 100people. He noted that thenew route “represents yearsand years of determinationand planning.”He noted constructionwould not have been possiblewithout the support ofCongress, state officials andlocal communities. “A lothappened to get us to thisday. It’s the beginning of anew era of safety on U.S.24.”He recalled first hearingabout the project in the1990s and credits JamieBlack of Waterville forbringing the project to theforefront. “They called itFort to Port. I didn’t know itwas [Route] 24,” he said,adding, “It never occurred tome [at that time] that I’d beCutting the ribbon to officially dedicate the new U.S. Route 24 are from left, U.S. CongresswomanMarcy Kaptur, Jamie Black, chairman of the Fort to Port committee andODOT Executive Director Jerry Wray.here 20 years later to dedicatethe new road.”The director describedRoute 24 from the Indianaborder to Toledo as a “criticalshipping lane” withsemi-trucks comprisingnearly one third of the trafficon the road. The need toimprove the existing twolaneroute became moreobvious over the years astraffic volume grew, heexplained.The mix of commercialand passenger vehicles onthe increasingly congestedroad and deficiencies of theexisting route led to seriousand sometimes fatal accidentsand it became apparentthat a new road neededto be built.It took years of landacquisition and planning,but in 2006 ODOT finallybegan construction on the$169 million, 21-milestretch of Ohio highwayfrom Toledo to Napoleon.The new route with designatedexit ramps is expectedto alleviate safety concernsand make travel more efficient.“Our results are measuredin safety and time.This project represents agood result of both,” saidMr. Wray. He recognizedODOT employees for theirdedication to the project.“It’s not often that I have theopportunity to thank ourpublic servants.”U.S. CongresswomanMarcy Kaptur also commendedthose who played arole in making the highwaya reality and said she washonored to be at the dedication.“America is an I cannation, and this projectshows that we can do greatthings by working together.”She described the highwayas “something great forthis region,” but added thatshe would be remiss not toremember those who died inaccidents on the two-laneroad. “We should dedicatethis to the many lives lost onRoute 24,” she said.Ms. Kaptur also believesMore than 1,000 people participated in the Fort to Port run/bike/walk last Tuesdayevening. The event, held several hours after the dedication ceremony, kicked off atKroger on State Route 64 with hundreds of bicyclists pedaling west on Route 24 whilewalkers and runners headed east on the new highway.Blue Devils overmatched by IrishSheriff’s candidate Major JohnTharp addresses Holland ChamberMajor John Tharp meets with chamber member andSpringfield Township Trustee Marilyn Yoder prior to themeeting.In Springfield Township,the most frequent complaintreceived by the Lucas CountySheriff’s Departmentinvolves break ins, MajorJohn Tharp told members ofthe Holland-SpringfieldChamber of Commerce atthe organization’s August 23meeting.By Sean MaioloWhat Springfield headcoach Pat Gucciardo labeledlast week as “one of the bestCentral Catholic squads he'sseen in all his years coachinghigh school football innorthwest Ohio” gave theBlue Devils more than theycould handle in a 66-14 routat Gallagher Stadium.The deep and talentedFighting Irish, playing ontheir home turf, jumped allover the Blue Devils with adominant run game in theearly going.Central Catholic neverlooked back, building a 45-0lead by halftime that provedinsurmountable. Springfieldmanaged a pair of touchdownsin the third quarterand actually outscored Central14-7 in the stanza. Butat that point the game wasalready well in hand for theIrish.“Like I mentioned a coupleof times this past week,their X’s were a lot biggerthan our O’s,” Gucciardosaid. “We had a hard timestopping their front guys,and they are one of the betterteams, if not the bestteam, that I’ve gone upagainst in my head coachingcareer.“I have to give them a lotof respect. They’ve reallygot a team rolling this year,and I’d be surprised if theydon’t go deep into the playoffs.”When the dust finallysettled, Central CatholicPlease turn to page 5The major, who is runningunopposed for sheriff inthe November election, saidcar break ins as well asbreaking and enterings at gasstations and homes areamong the most commoncomplaints.He said SpringfieldPlease turn to page 5the timing of the road dedicationcoincides well withthe state’s celebration of theWar of 1812.“Fort to Port is part ofreal history that still needsto be told. This is a heritagecorridor like none other, andthis roadway traverses thatfrontier,” she said.Following the congresswoman’spresentation, Mr.Wray introduced Mr. Black.“No one was more persistent,more determined thanJamie Black. He worked sohard for this,” said theODOT director.Mr. Black said thatalthough the project hasbeen on the table for morethan 50 years, his role didnot begin until June 1985.“[Waterville] Mayor ChuckPeyton said we needed to dosomething about this road,”he recalled.He began working toimprove safety and to pushfor a new alignment. “Manysaid it could not be built,”but looking around today headded, “This is a pretty niceproject.”He acknowledged that itwas a daunting task andremembers many whofought to stop the project,but Mr. Black as chair of theFort to Port committeedoggedly persisted andworked closely with ODOTofficials to bring the projectto fruition. He expressedappreciation to his wife forher patience over the last 27years.“It has been an honor torepresent Fort to Port, andtoday is my last formalfunction. It’s a great honorto officially close out Fort toPort. Everyone should feelgood about this,” he concluded.And what is to become ofthe former Route 24? Thetwo-lane road that runs fromWaterville west towardGrand Rapids has beenturned over to Lucas Countyand is now designated asCounty Road 53.Lane RestrictionsAlthough the new route24 is open to motorists,ODOT officials haveannounced that lane restrictionsare possible in bothdirections through Novemberbetween State Route 109and County Road 11 for tieinwork.In addition, throughNovember the former Route24 between Route 109 andTownship Road 10 will beclosed for tie-in work.Eber to close for rail workDue to railroad crossing repair work, a section of EberRoad will be closed for seven days, starting September 4,according to the Lucas County engineer’s office.Norfolk Southern Railroad will be working on the crossingon Eber between Airport Highway/State Route 2 and OldState Line Road.Traffic will be detoured via Crissey Road during thatweek.Journal readers are everywhereFrom there to here, from here to there, Journal readers areeverywhere.The staff invites readers to submit photos of themselves orothers reading the paper where ever they may travel, whetherit is in Ecuador or England.In late July, Joshua Ryan and Blake Williams of Holland,above, traveled with Joshua’s father, Dave Ryan, to New YorkCity to attend two Yankees games. “This was Blake’s firsttrip to New York,” said Mr. Ryan, adding that they visited theStatue of Liberty, Time Square, and traveled around the cityusing the subway system.Readers and advertisers are encouraged to submit photosof themselves reading the paper.

Our leaders are veryskilled and are positive rolemodels for the rest of theteam,” she said. “The team iseager to learn and developtheir skills.”Some of the more experiencedplayers Perino mentionedinclude seniors DestinieGeiger, Brittany Grohnke andTaylor Montague along with ahandful of other returning letterwinners. All, she said, willhave to do more than just improvethemselves.“We are stressing that webelieve in team first,” she said,“and our challenge is to bringour less experienced andyounger players up to the levelof our more experienced players.”Their early feeling-outgames included wins overStart and Wauseon and a pairof losses to Clay and Archbold.While not an overly impressivestart, Perino believesthings will improve when theLady Devils hit NLL play.“We think that we are capableof competing with severalteams in our league,” she said.“There are some NLL teamswho are extremely talentedand have a lot of depth in theirbench that we do not have.These teams will be tough andwill hopefully bring out theBy Sean MaioloPeople like to envision atransition as smooth and seamless,like going from the turkeyand stuffing to pumpkin pie atThanksgiving. No matterwhen the switch is made,everything is still going totaste good.More often than not, however,and especially in thesports universe, transitionscome with many challenges,and achieving that same feelingof satisfaction requiresmuch more than just a fewhours in the kitchen.For starters, last year’shead coach Julia Dempster accepteda teaching job in neighboringSylvania and as a resulttook her coaching duties thereas well, now guiding the juniorvarsity squad forNorthview’s girls.Her departure had a rippleeffect on the team includingthe girls not attending theFindlay team soccer campthey had signed up for underDempster and not having anew head coach until mid-July.Even without Dempster ashead coach, the Lady Devilsstill need to overcome enteringthe 2012 season minus sevenseniors who graduated lastyear.So how has new headcoach Jude Perino and assistantcoach MaGee Wilson handledsuch a tumultuous offseason on such short notice?“Considering we have nothad this team too long, wehave used our preseasonscrimmages and first week’sgames to figure out our players’strengths and weaknessesand try to best fit a system toScore with an adin the classifieds!(419) 874-4491Formerly Toledo Dental Academybest in us.”She also said that evenwhen a steady system takesshape the girls cannot and willnot handle each opponent thesame way regardless of whothey play.“We will take each teamand their talents into considerationfor our game plan,” shesaid. “We will focus on onegame at a time and try to getthe best result possible.”Still, all of Springfield’sfoes will encounter one commontheme when kicking offagainst them–effort. Perinostressed that she and Wilsonwant and expect the very bestfrom the girls out of everygame this season regardless ofcircumstance.Based on what she’s seenso far in practice and games,effort should be the smoothestpart of the Lady Devils’ transition.“Our daily training atmosphereis intense and very focused.The girls have anexcellent work ethic and arevery dedicated to our program,”she said.“We need to focus on keepingour heads up when we getscored on.

A LOOK BACK……Holland and Springfield Township RecollectionsThe Holland-Springfield Journal knows Journal readers are everywhere, and many are useful sources of informationyet to be tapped. With that in mind, the staff is working in cooperation with the Holland-Springfield-Spencer HistoricalSociety on a special series regarding the museum.Above is this week’s photograph from the historical society. Society president Karla Miller is hoping Journal readersmay recognize this Springfield Township honor roll memorial, which appears to list the names of soldiers fromwars. Mrs Miller said the monument likely stood somewhere in Holland perhaps near the railroad tracks at Front andClark streets in 1942-43.If residents can shed light on when the monument was erected, what happened to it, why it was erected and whosenames appeared on it, as well as any other details, they are asked to submit the information to the historical society atthe Web site www.hsshs.org or by calling Mrs. Miller at 419-877-5855.As information becomes available, the Journal will publish a follow-up story.By William Renwand,PrincipalThe year has begun!

Blockwatch groups can be a valuableresource to a community,and he regularly attendsmeetings of these groups incommunities throughout thecounty.“It’s a way to detercrime,” he said, adding thathe has learned a thing or twoat these meetings from homeownersabout ways to deterthe criminal element. Everythingfrom fake security signsto nonworking but realisticcameras is used, he said.Another way to detercrime is to inform law enforcementwhen traveling outof town. “Let us know so wecan check on your home,” hesaid.He also urged members tofollow basic precautions includingusing timers forlights to make it appear thatsomeone is home.

No, we didnot.”However, Gucciardoquickly pointed out that theteam can and will take a lotof positives out of their losstap into that information andburglarize the home, sheadded.Major Tharp assuredmembers that his departmentwill continue to do what isnecessary to protect the citizensof Lucas County. “Weare responsible for keepingthe peace.

They made a few minorsubstitutions, and our kidscame out in the second halfand played a little bit better,we fought harder and definitelydidn’t give up.“I was proud of our kidsespecially after halftime.They were fighting and competingand didn’t give upuntil the end.”He also said the BlueDevils’ pass protection andbig runs by Todd in the secondhalf were encouragingsigns that this offense can dosome good things movingforward.
