By Kaylyn Johnston Herald Writer S Y L Va N I a Sylvania residents Karen and Lexa Bauer recently became involved with a national organization called Peace Passers and hope to involve the Sylvania community in their goal to share new and used soccer equipment with third world countries. Peace Passers is an organization that works with various mission groups to ship new and used soccer equipment to countries around the world. The organization was founded by five former collegiate soccer players who discovered soccer was a way for individuals to unite amongst political and social turmoil. In many countries, a child’s level of education is based on their soccer skills. Many of these children, however, learn to play soccer using makeshift materials and equipment. Peace Passers works to promote peace and unity through soccer and help give children in developing nations a jump-start to their education through the use of better soccer equipment. Lexa, age 10, asked her classmates and friends to bring soccer equipment to her 10th

Fouty finishes first season with Eastern Michigan
By Scott Grau Herald Writer saw limited action in the Toledo contest but is averaging over 11 minutes per game and has played in all but one game this season. She closed out her first regular season averaging 2.4 points and 3.3 rebounds per game respectively. Even though she played in a premier program at Northview, Fouty acknowledges the collegiate game is played at a faster pace with greater intensity and more is expected. “It’s a challenge. You are expected to give a 110% everyday no matter if you are sick or hurt,” she stated matter-offactly. “You are expected to come out and play.” Fouty said she realizes she needs to work hard to improve her game and Scott Grau photo she is confident that she will continue to improve.

Fouty and her fellow teammates traveled to honolulu in late November to play in the Jack in the Box rainbow Wahine classic.

Lexa was able to send 25 jersey sets, 15 balls, 17 pairs of soccer cleats, 11 pairs of indoor turf shoes, 10 pairs of shorts and 8 pairs of shin guards to Guatemala. When asked how Peace Passers has changed her life, Lexa responded, “It has driven me to pay a lot more attention to all the people who don’t have as much as we have. It made me wonder what I can do for people in general who need things. If everybody did something, even if its small like what we are doing, I truly believe that there would be

much less suffering and much more living. This is my way of putting my mark on the world.” Lexa’s mother, Karen Bauer, also has been changed by her involvement with Peace Passers. “It has given both of us a sense that if we start small, things grow and people catch on. We really can make a difference,” she said. Numerous other Sylvania organizations now support Lexa’s efforts, including Pacesetter Soccer club where Lexa plays, the UPS store on central avenue, Sylvania Southview high School

As promised to Sylvania residents, I am writing my quarterly update. Many people are unaware of the new tax to be imposed by the county for storm water. There has been a committee formed to create a new government entity called the Storm Water Coalition. If this coalition is created by the County Commissioners, it will cost the Sylvania home owners $550,000 to almost $900,000 annually as it increases over the next four to five years and into the future. They will be collecting $2,750,000 to $4,000,000 over this period and can raise this fee at anytime without a vote. This will be a

permanent tax. I have been working with our Lucas County Township Association to show my opposition to this new tax. This does not include the amounts to be collected from businesses and schools for their hard surfaces which will be an additional 1524 percent. These funds will be used by the engineer’s office at their discretion in Lucas County. This money will not be used exclusively in our area but the entire region. I am against any more government control without representation. I have also been working very hard to secure a garbage and recycling agreement with a primary hauler in Sylvania Township. This rate will be about $41.00 per quarter or $160.00 annually and seniors will receive a 10 percent discount. The price is fixed for five years.

It will save on road repairs and residents will be compensated for their recyclables to almost, if not totally covering the cost of this service. About 150 residents attended meetings in opposition to this service, so I negotiated an “opt out” clause that will allow residents not to participate in the program. Residents will have a choice by returning a card to participate. We will need 95 percent participation to move forward before the county comes up with their proposal which includes taking over Toledo’s service. This will cost more due to rising fuel costs and acquiring Toledo’s equipment. Contact me with any concerns at the Township Hall or call my cell phone at 419283-8626.

Beyond the bench
By now, you’ve probably read the publicity on next week’s Sylvania Area Historical Society (SAHS) meeting. It’s on March 16 at 7 p.m. at the Sylvania Heritage Center, 5717 N. Main St. Judge Scott Ramey will share the interactive presentation: “Ben Franklin: The Early Years.” Also, the SAHS 20th anniversary will be celebrated that night that I told you about last week. If you missed looking back at the group’s formation, go to www. thesylvaniaherald.com and click on Columnists to find my last column. So, you know something about SAHS and Ben Franklin but what about our esteemed lecturer for the evening? What do you really know about Sylvania Municipal Court Judge Scott Ramey? He is serving his fourth term as judge, having been elected four times since 1987. Active in professional activities and community service, Judge Ramey keeps very busy. When I think of historical judges, I recall powdered wigs and riding their circuit on a mule. The bench has greatly changed over the years, however. Judge Ramey notes the powdered wigs stayed in England. The mules are long gone and some prisoners are now coming to him by video conference. The biggest difference he sees, is that like our society, the law is much more complex than it used to be. What would be different if he served as judge when Sylvania was founded in the 1830s? He admits he would be riding a circuit covering a very large area. There would be few laws for him to apply so he would have had more discretion in making a decision. He would have had little if any training, as there were no law schools in the Midwest. He has enjoyed history since he was very young. When he has time, he reads history in a somewhat chronological order. He has studied King Richard the Lion-Hearted and Daniel Boone extensively, and, finding them fascinating, has given presentations on their lives. Asked what era he would

most like to experience if rewinding the years were possible, Judge Ramey gave it some thought. He admits there are so many intriguing periods he would like to experience but the period he is currently concentrating on is the American Revolution. That would be his first choice because there are so many interesting people of that era he would like to meet. Since he has not yet completed studying the American Revolution, he asks that we not tell him who wins. He is enjoying the suspense! Reading a variety of books is how this lover of history soaks up the facts. He notes today’s information on the web has provided access to much more material than ever existed before but not all of it is accurate. The internet and Wikipedia can give a taste for a topic but for in depth understanding, more extensive research written by experts is necessary. Besides reading for pleasure, his hobbies are gardening, golf and salt water fish. Just to be clear, I asked Judge Ramey if I were to run into him at the grocery store, what should I call him? His answer: Judge, Your Honor or Scott. So come hear Scott enlighten us on “Ben Franklin: The Early Years” on March 16th at 7 p.m. Benjamin Franklin was a writer, inventor, diplomat, businessman, musician, scientist, humorist, civic leader and international celebrity. Did he really write “Poor Richard’s Almanack,” fly that kite in the storm and invent bifocals? Learn what made him such a genius in this interactive, entertaining presentation. The meeting is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served. For more information or questions visit www.sylvaniahistory.org or call 419-318-9632. I’ll see you there!

Catholic schools stage open houses Central Catholic By Christine A. students wage penny war to help Haiti Holliday
Herald Writer Three Catholic elementary schools serving students in Sylvania opened their doors to the public on March 6. St. Joseph School, Sylvania Franciscan Academy and Christ the King School scheduled their open houses to give members of the Sylvania community opportunities to see what each school has to offer. Parents and teachers in each school were on hand to serve as tour guides and Antonio Peron. and current students gave presentations or provided testimony to tell what is special about their schools. At St. Joseph School, guests were welcomed to the school in the main lobby, where a special castle had been constructed. The castle was assembled for the school’s Right to Read Week in late February, and tour guides explained current students use the castle for a special place to do The Sylvania Franciscan Academy open house their personal reading.

TOLEDO- After a visit by 2006 Central Catholic High School graduate Dan McDonald, who spoke to several classes about his experiences living and working in Haiti, students in two classes waged a penny war to help the victims of last year’s devastating earthquake.

In early January, McDonald was home on his holiday break and he spent two hours with students in Charlotte Best’s American literature class and Keisha Kuns’ American history class. After McDonald gave a moving account of his work in Haiti and how great the needs still are in the country and his school, the students asked many questions and wanted to know what they could do to help.

SYLVANIA- Sylvania Franciscan Academy launched Right to Read Week with an all-day visit by prolific children’s book author Dandi Mackall. Incorporating the theme Reading in the Wildest Places, Mackall held writing seminars for every grade level, emphasizing that all students have a story to tell. “It begins with paying attention,” Mackall said. “Everybody needs to notice things, the little pieces of creation that make everyday life a rich experience. The least we can do is show up and pay attention.” Fifth grader Reed Miller liked the way Mackall used her childhood experience with the 1961 Kansas City A’s as the basis for her book, “A Girl Named Dan.” Miller said, “She taught me to carry around a notepad to keep track of ideas. The best part about writing is that I can make my stories come out the way I want them to.” Mackall’s seminar provided new tools for eighth grade writer Maddie Lewandowski. “An author’s job is to live the lives she can’t actually have through the

They came up with the idea of a penny war to raise money for the school where Dan works, and within two weeks they raised over $500 to send to Dan to help with his mission. For more information about the project Dan is participating in, please visit http://www.haitianproject. org/content/about-haitianproject. Students from Sylvania who participated in the penny war were Emily Durbak, Michael Hunyor, Claire Langenderfer and Chandler Rygalski.

Cakes N’ Shakes to hold ribbon cutting
BLISSFIELD- On March 11, the Blissfield Main Street Program will be sponsoring a ribbon cutting for Cakes n’ Shakes at its 133 S. Lane Street location. This ribbon cutting will celebrate the reopening of Cakes n’ Shakes at this location after being displaced for the past year due to a fire. Since the fire last year, Cakes n’ Shakes has been sharing space with Catering By Liz on US 223. The sharing arrangement allowed Kathy Valdez, owner of Cakes n’ Shakes, to bake only cakes and cookies by custom order. Unfortunately, the arrangement did not allow Valdez to interact with her customers on a regular basis which is something she is looking forward to being able to do again. “I don’t know how to put it into words, but I am extremely excited to be back in my building. We have worked hard to rebuild after the fire, and we look forward to seeing the

Home Improvement and Garden Show 2011
TOLEDO- This year’s Professional Remodelers Organization (PRO) Home Improvement & Garden Show is scheduled for March 11-13 at the Seagate Centre. This year’s show is sponsored by Arnolds Home Improvement and Solar Solutions and will be the most impressive ever with over 150 exhibits from the area’s leading remodelers and landscapers. The Home Improvement and Garden Show sets the standard for quality home improvement and gardening events, showcasing the best Toledo has to offer with everything from landscaping to windows, siding, garage doors, basement waterproofing, patio rooms, cookware, interior decoration and more. Everything needed to remodel a home, from the basement to the roof and for every room in between will be on display. Visitors will see the latest in home decoration and design and can plan entire building projects in one

smiling faces of our customers this next week. Please know that without their support, we could have never undertaken this rehabilitation project after the fire,” Valdez said. Main Street Manager Michael Sessions had a different take as he stressed the importance of this project to downtown Blissfield. “Kathy and Bob have rebuilt from a devastating fire. However, in rebuilding, they have kept to the charm, and historic nature of their building and business. They have restored the soda fountain and will be bringing back the shakes that we all had grown to love and know. I’m excited for Kathy and Bob, but moreover, I’m also excited for the whole community as we have finally rebuilt from the fire that ravaged our downtown.” The ribbon cutting at Cakes n’ Shakes will take place at 10:00 am. All interested are encouraged to attend.

location and in one weekend. The Home Improvement & Garden Show will feature 10,000 square feet of landscaping displays with some of the area’s leading landscape companies, such as Select Stone, Hatfield Lawn & Landscape, North Branch Nursery and Corsos. There will be hundreds of blooming flowers and plants and many will be available to purchase at the show.. New this year is the “catch the cash” money booth. Every hour a name will be drawn to play this new event. People will be able to keep all the real cash they can collect during their time in the money booth. The PRO Home Improvement & Garden Show hours are March 11, 4–9:00 pm, March 12, 10:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m. and March 13, 10:00 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information on the show go to www. hireaPROtoday.com or call the Professional Remodelers Organization office at 419471-0101.

TOLEDO– As part of the Patrol’s new symbol of its efforts, Trooper Shield, and their ongoing effort to contribute to a safer Ohio, troopers will have an increased focus on impaired driving enforcement in 2011. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol OVIRelated Crashes and Arrests statistical recap from the Patrol’s Statistical Analysis Unit, during 2010 troopers made 22,064 OVI arrests statewide. Of these, more than one in five (22 percent) included a speed violation, 18 percent included a violation for driving without a valid driver license, and nearly one-eighth included a safety belt violation. In addition, there were 13,919 OVI-related crashes on Ohio roadways, killing 397 and injuring 8,517. These numbers have been deemed unacceptable by the Patrol’s new superintendent, Colonel John Born. “We can’t fight the battle against impaired driving on our own. We need your commitment to make our roads safe,” Lt. Lieutenant John C. Altman said. “You can contribute to a safer Ohio by actively influencing friends and family to make safe, responsible decisions like planning ahead to designate a driver and insisting that everyone in the vehicle is buckled up, can go a long way toward ensuring tragedies do not occur.” Last year, state troopers from the Toledo Post arrested 623 impaired drivers who were posing a significant danger to innocent motorists. The public is encouraged to continue using 1-877-7-PATROL to report dangerous drivers, impaired drivers or stranded motorists.

TOLEDO- More than 1,000 Toledo area babies will be born premature this year, and local business leader Bob LaClair is working with the March of Dimes to change this. LaClair, who is the president of Fifth Third Bank Northwest, understands the importance of the March of Dimes mission. As a father and grandparent, he has taken on the role of Honorary Chair for this years March for Babies. As someone personally connected to the mission of the March of Dimes, LaClair will focus his efforts on raising funds for research that will help in the fight against prematurity and birth defects. LaClair has been involved in other community fundraising campaigns, most recently chairing the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Drive.

Local businessman joins March of Dimes in leading the charge to improve the health of area babies
He is also a past United Way campaign chairman. March for Babies, the March of Dimes’ largest fundraiser, helps fund lifesaving research and educational programs aimed at helping moms have healthy babies. Last year, the Toledo event raised more than $150,000. This year, LaClair hopes to bring in even more by focusing on new revenue and helping to raise awareness in the area. “As a business leader, this campaign gives me a unique opportunity to help the community that I love. As a grandparent I can’t think of a more important cause than our babies,” LaClair said. He will be reaching out to local businesses to solicit their support in the coming months. “One in eight of our babies here in Toledo are born premature and that’s just not acceptable. It takes leaders in our community working together to ensure that moms have healthy pregnancies.” Residents can sign up today at www. marchforbabies.org and start a team with coworkers, family or friends. Last year, more than 2,500 people attended the event, which is typically held in late April or early May. “We’re so excited to have Bob on board to help us at a local level,” Jodi DiSalle-Horns, executive director for the Northwest March of Dimes Division said. “His passion for the cause and commitment to helping our babies will be a huge driving factor in the success of our event this year. We are grateful for the time and support he is able to lend us.”

InnerViews by Kimmie Rose
The Week Ahead: March 13 through March 19, 2011 Aries (March 21-Apr. 19) This is going to be a great week for you as you spend a lot of time with family and friends. Open communication is important so have clarity with your words. If you have children, spend time with them and know what’s really on in their minds. Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20) You have been feeling up and down over the last couple of weeks. Finally, things are coming into a better space where you are feeling more grounded. This week it is important to have clarity when you speak because things could become misunderstood. Gemini (May 21-June 21) This is a good week to connect with people for job opportunities. As you go through the week, you will find more and more synchronicities occur. And as these synchronicities occur, so will your spiritual growth continue. Stay in the energy and walk in faith. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Work may be very trying this week. It’s going to be important to get plenty of rest and to eat right. Otherwise, you will feel yourself slipping into a low energy. Yoga or daily meditation will also help you stay grounded and maintain a higher vibrational level. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) This is a good week to take some down time and get some rest. Allow yourself to take a nap or a mini vacation. This is an important time to take care of you. So, if you start feeling a little low on energy, it will quickly be rejuvenated with proper rest. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) Relationship issues come to a head this week when you find out someone in your life hasn’t been completely honest. It might be a financial issue or something more personal. Listen and don’t respond with anger. Next week will offer clarity and understanding. Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22) Money issues get a little bit better this week as you find yourself in a better situation. There are also new opportunities coming your way for work or personal situations. Take time to look at what is available to you, and don’t be afraid to move forward with things. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Reconnecting with old friends is important this week as it will help you put things in perspective. You’ve been feeling a little down and lonely so finding someone you know to talk with will be helpful. Reach out and call someone. We all need a friend sometimes. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Work is crazy this week and it feels like you just can’t get a break. Take time this week when you can. Things will feel better next week as you start to feel more grounded. Don’t loose hope that all things will work out. Remember, everything happens for a reason. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) This is a great week to do some financial planning. Maybe you are interested in buying a car or a house or maybe you would just like to make some investments. Luck plays a role in this so the type of investment you decide upon isn’t as important as just getting started. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Take time this week to spend more time with your family. Don’t plan too much right now because the next couple of weeks are going to be very busy. It’s important to be grounded and get things done at home. Be prepared for a busy spring. You’ll be glad you did. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Relationship issues have been nothing but difficult over the last few days. You are coming into a better week now, which could lead to a lot of romance. Take time to show your sensitive side. This is also a good time to express yourself creatively.

Eagle swimmers win Districts, compete at state
The St. Francis swim team celebrates and poses with their trophy after taking second place at the state swim meet.
By Christine A. Holliday Herald Writer title at Bowling Green State University in February, winning every event except for the 100 butterfly where they placed second. They won the Little Giant Invitational in Fremont in late January, beating 16 other teams and coming away with four pool records. Kennedy notes one of the best highlights was the team meeting their special goal of having the highest team GPA at the school. At the end of the first semester, the team GPA stood at 3.5 out of 4.0, quite a commentary about the work ethic of the team members. Even with a heavy practice schedule (practice three mornings each week from 5:45-7:45 a.m. and another practice five afternoons a week from 2:45-5:45) and strict training rules (no holiday vacations, limited fast food, etc.), the young men managed to keep on top of their studies.

Signature Harley-Davidson receives Two Toledo churches participating in awards from Dealernews Magazine Kids Against Hunger
TOLEDO- On March 13 from 2-6 p.m., volunteers from two local Episcopal churches, St. Michael’s in the Hills and St. Andrew’s, will meet at St. Michael’s on 4718 Brittany Rd. to participate in a Kids Against Hunger (KAH) food packing event. They will pack 20,000 meals (six meals in a package) that consist of a mixture of dry ingredients including rice, soy, 21 essential vitamins and minerals and six dehydrated vegetables. The contents of the packages, when mixed with boiling water, result in a rice casserole designed to meet the needs of a malnourished child’s developing body and mind. A grant from the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio has made the purchase of the ingredients possible.

By Scott Grau Herald Writer SYLVANIA- The St. Francis hockey team has spent most of the season perched atop the coach’s poll with the lofty number one ranking. After the Knights routed arch-rival St. John’s Jesuit 7-4 to claim the district championship on Mar. 5 at the Sylvania Tam-O-Shanter ice arena, it appears at though the team is deserving of their top rating. The victory earns St. Francis a trip to Columbus this weekend to play in the state’s “Frozen Four” tournament at Nationwide Arena in Columbus. The Knights (32-4-1) will take on Powell Olentangy Liberty (27-8-1) in the first semifinal game at noon on Mar. 12. Should the Knights win they will play for the coveted state championship on Sunday at noon. Playing before a raucous standing-room-only crowd, St. Francis owned a 1-0 lead at the end of the first period. The Titans tied

St. Francis players and coaches celebrate and pose with the district championship trophy after defeating St. John’s 7-4 in the district title game at Tam-O-Shanter in Sylvania.

The Knights increased their lead to 5-2 in the final period and then had to survive a two-goal flurry by St. John’s in less than a minute as the Titans cut the lead to 5-4 halfway through the third period. Junior forward Ben Torchia scored his third goal of the game for the Knights on a nifty aerobatic move with less than three minutes to go in the game to give the Knights some breathing room at 6-4. An empty net goal in the final half-minute of play increased the lead to 7-4. St. Francis was paced by Torchia’s hat trick and three assists. Senior captain Tyler Murphy netted two scores and assisted on three others. Junior forward Scott Wawrzyniak and senior Zak Valiton each added a goal for the Columbus-bound Knights. Senior forward Eric Brown netted two goals for the Titans. Sophomore defenseman Jimmy Scott and senior forward Jake Kennedy each contributed an additional score for St. John’s. Commenting on the rivalry and the intensity of the game, St. Francis head coach Brian Kinsella stated both schools bring the best out of everybody. “It’s incredible to watch both sides and what they do to support their hockey teams. I hope that the fans were treated to a helluva hockey game. I know that it was a great game to coach.” Kinsella stated it was a shame someone had to lose the game but was quick to add, “I am glad that we were victors tonight and on our way to Columbus.” “The goal for these guys now is to get to the finals and bring a championship home for St. Francis High School and northwest Ohio.”
