…Holland, Springfield and Sylvania Recollections
As the 50th anniversary
of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy
approaches on November
22, the Journal looks back at
that fateful day in 1963
when the president was shot
and killed while riding in a
motorcade through Dallas,
Texas.
Just as today’s generation
remembers where they were
and what they were doing
during the terrorist attacks
on September 11, 2001, an
earlier generation has distinct memories of a tragic
fall day 50 years ago. The
following are their recollections.
I was at home doing dishes in the kitchen, TV was on
in living room, when news
bulletin
came on,
“President shot” all I felt
was numb. I immediately
called my husband at work,
they had not heard and went
for radios. Spent the next
week glued to TV and radio.
Karla Miller
I was in the U.S. Navy at
Point Loma, Ballast Point
Submarine Base, San Diego,
California. I was aboard the
U.S.S Nereus–AS-17 (Sub
Tender). I was in the Photo
Lab where I worked and was
just preparing to go into the
dark room to make some
prints, when the announcement came over the ship's
public address system.
Gale Fulton
I was home ironing and
was shocked. I sat down and
cried, while listening to
word coming in.
Jeanette Kaiser,
I was in the U S Air
Force stationed in Amarillo,
Texas. The guys were
floored when they heard it
and gathered to talk.
Bill Merrill
I was helping my dad
clean up a pile of trees
between Mary and my house
on Wentworth Road. When
she built her house they
piled the tree logs between
us. Mom and dad use the
wood to heat their house.
I was getting tired and
went into the house. While
inside I turned on the television, and the news was on
and said President Kennedy
had been shot. I ran out and
yelled to my dad that the
president has been shot. His
reply was “The hell you
say!” and he kept cutting
wood. I will never forget
that day. It was a nice brisk
day to be outside in the fall.
It’s hard to believe it has
been 50 years. It is so clear
in my mind like yesterday.
Ada Rogers
I was ironing in my living
room, watching television
across the room, when the
news broke. I dropped the
iron, I had to call someone
so I called my sister who
was watching it also.
Sandy Bethel
To learn more about the life of John F. Kennedy visit the Holland Branch Library.
I remember it well. On
that fateful day I was sitting
in the living room of my
apartment in Adams Township typing the final copy of
my dissertation.
The manual portable
typewriter was slow, the carbon paper was getting worn
out, and I kept making mistakes that led to re-typing
whole pages.
When the news about
President Kennedy came
over the radio, I stopped
working and just walked the
floor thinking “This cannot
be true.”
Changing the radio station didn't help; they were
all announcing the same
thing. Unlike my annoying
typing problems, there was
no way to correct this unbelievable tragedy.
Martha Irwin
I was in Florida watching
“As the World Turns,” when
Walter Cronkite broke in
with the news that the President had been shot.
Pat Hoffman
I was sitting in Mrs. Kincaid’s 10th grade English
class at Springfield High
School when the announcement came over the PA System. The class was located
on the second floor of what
is now the oldest part of
Springfield Middle School.
Everyone was in shock.
Kenneth W. Musch
I remember it just like it
was yesterday. You don't
soon forget the death, especially the assassination of a
great leader.
In November 1963 I was
employed by Solar King
Corporation on Sylvania
Avenue in west Toledo. I
was a glass cutter for them,
and made all of the storm
windows, screens, and glass
sliding doors. I also delivered those products all over
Ohio and Michigan.
I was cutting glass for
storm windows when the
company secretary came
running into the work area
from the front office. She
was screaming and tears
were flowing down her
cheeks. ‘The President has
been shot,’ she screamed,
‘Someone has shot President
Kennedy.’
At the time we didn't
know how serious his
wounds were, but in a short
time we heard that he was
dead.
In January 1964 I left to
join the United States
Marine Corp. I boarded the
train in Toledo, and it traveled to Washington D.C. We
had a layover there, and we
took a trip to Arlington
National Cemetary.
We got to see the grave of
John F. Kennedy and the
Eternal Flame that burns on
it. That experience and the
changing of the Guard at
Arlington was a very moving and thought provoking
experience.
Who would want to kill
my president? It kept running through my mind. Each
November it comes back to
me, and brings thoughts of
what might have been if the
tragedy had never happened.
Ev Harris
I was a junior in high
school and working at
Lasalle’s in downtown Toledo and when the news was
announced. There was
absolute shock in the
store–people were just
astounded and unable to
comprehend what actually
happened.
Pat Nowak
You know I will never
forget that day. I can see it as
vividly as if it were yesterday. I was in graduate school
at Kansas State University in
Manhattan, Kansas, and I
worked in the student bookstore. I remember, I was
helping a young lady find a
chemistry book, and I heard
some yelling outside.
Another student came
running into the bookstore
shouting, “Kennedy was
PRSRT STD
US POSTAGE
shot! Kennedy was shot!”
We were all stunned, and
everyone ran out onto the
sidewalk to find out what
people knew and what was
happening.
We all moved to a small
coffee shop next door; the
business in the bookstore
just stopped. We all huddled
around the radio–no television there–to try to get the
latest information. As it
unfolded we were all in
shock, hugging one another,
even strangers, and crying
and feeling as if it could not
be true. The shock and sadness tore through the small
town, businesses closed, and
we all went home to watch
the latest news on television.
In fact, we were all glued
to our televisions for the
next week, as the tragedy
unfolded. I remember the
grace and elegance of the
funeral, sweet little John
John saluting the casket and
the strength and courage it
took for Jackie and the entire
family to endure. It was
truly the end of an era of
class, charm and elegance
which made all Americans
feel proud as well as sad to
be living in the United
States.
Cynthia Beekley
I was sitting in Ms. Hoeffel’s American History class
at Scott High School (fifth
hour) when the Principal,
Mr. Langstaff, came on the
PA system and announced
that President Kennedy had
been shot.
We were all devastated;
some of the girls quietly
sobbed at their desks and
Ms. Hoeffel herself could
think of nothing to say. We
all just stared at each other
because there was absolutely
no information at that time.
As the period ended and
we all left for home, the
crowded halls at Scott were
eerily quiet for the first and
last time I had ever seen
them. I slowly walked home
to my house on Winthrop
Street and remember hearing
Springfield Twp. residents serve chili luncheon to area veterans
For the second year, Springfield Township residents showed their appreciation to area veterans by serving them piping hot bowls of homemade chili, desserts and beverages. The women used 35 pounds of ground beef in their chili
recipes which ranged from mild to slightly spicy. Veterans were able to eat for free, and others were charged $1 per
bowl. Organizer Mary Butler said the turnout this year was higher and hopes it will continue to grow each year. Serving chili at the township hall are, from left, Teresa Edwards, Brenda Leach, Mary Butler, Jan Grant and Janet Amos.
Also helping out were Judy Lanham and Cindy Seiple, not shown.
TV news reporting from all
the houses on either side of
the street.
When I got home, my
Mother had the TV on, of
course, and we literally sat
in front of the television for
the next three days watching
the events unfold; the
remarks by new President
Johnson, the total confusion
over who had committed the
assassination, the TV shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald
by Jack Ruby, and the President’s coffin laying in state
in the Capitol Rotunda, hour
after hour.
We watched until two or
three in the morning; the TV
stations stayed on rather than
signing off at 1 a.m. as they
usually did. It was like being
in a trance.
Then came the elaborate
funeral and the lighting of
the eternal flame at the grave
site.
It is impossible to
explain how shocked we all
were at this event. For my
generation, this was our
defining moment. Everything we experienced was
either “before” or “after,”
and we were never the same.
It was our Pearl Harbor,
our Challenger disaster, our
9/11. From the bright innocence of Jack and Jackie
(but never “Camelot”; that
was an invention years
later), we had LBJ and the
country descending into
Vietnam and domestic insurrection by the end of the
decade. The old cliché is
true; for my generation it
was the “death of innocence.” We looked at the
world differently after
November 22.
Dick Eppstein, president
Better Business Bureau
I was in the second
grade–we had returned from
daily Mass–when the principal Sr. Mary Timothy
announced on the PA that we
needed to stop and say a
prayer because President
Kennedy had been shot.
I remember watching the
funeral on a little black and
white TV.
Debra Skrzynecki
DC, RN
The day Kennedy was
shot, I was in a freshman
English class at Central
Catholic High School. It was
announced over the public
address system. However,
with no computers, cell
phones or televisions [yes,
TV’s had been invented, but
not easily available as they
are today], it was difficult to
get updates on what was
happening, if he had died
and if there were other casualties.
School was closed for the
funeral, and we watched it
on television, still not believing what had happened.
ODOT prepares for winter from new facility
Inspired by Jackie’s dignity
and composure, and Carolyn’s and John’s innocence,
it was truly a life-changing
moment for our country and
for me.
I remember thinking that
this is not something that
happens in this country and
being fearful of what may lie
ahead.
Mary Arquette
I was only 4 years old at
the time but we lived at 1910
North Superior Street in
North Toledo, and all I
remember is seeing my
mother sitting on a ottoman
in our living room crying her
eyes out. I had no idea why
she was crying at the television.
It’s one of the first memories of my early childhood
that I can remember because
of all the news and television coverage that came
after.
I also remember her
watching the funeral on TV
a few days later and seeing
the horse drawn carriage carrying the coffin, not knowing that that is now iconic
footage. We had a black and
white TV at the time, and I
don’t remember my mother
moving an inch during the
broadcast.
I was the only child at
home as my two older brothers were attending class at
Riverside
Elementary
School.
Gregory M. Oehlers
I was in my sophomore
world history class. All of a
sudden the radio started
playing over the loud speaker. They were saying the
president was shot. They
never broke into class before
like that.
The bell rang and I met
my boyfriend in the hall. He
told me the president had
died. It was a horrible time. I
walked home alone from
Start High School that day.
It was fall, leaves were on
the ground–cold and
gloomy, a long walk. I just
didn't know what to think. I
liked Kennedy, and it was
fun there were kids in the
White House etc.
The Toledo Blade had
been on strike but went back
to work to cover this. There
were only a couple stations
at that time on TV. It was, of
course, constant coverage.
I stayed in my room all
weekend and played records.
I was very sad because it
also was the fifth anniversary of my dad's death from
a heart attack. I was 10
when he died. It was just a
sad sad time.
Watching Johnson take
the oath. Watching Jackie
who was so composed but
sad and watching that little
boy salute. The funeral

ODOT stocks rock salt in a storage shed at its Monclova Township facility.
By Sean Maiolo
Like most drivers in
Lucas County, ODOT workers are not eagerly awaiting
the freezing rain, snow, wind
and ice that plague area roads
every winter, But they are
confident that they can better
handle this year’s frigid season from their new home on
Technology Drive in Monclova Township.
Along with a host of
amenities and technologies,
the new facility places them
only minutes from the junction of two main arteries–I475 and U.S.
Route
24–something transportation
administrator Jeff O’Neal
said is crucial this year given
how far the old Detroit
Avenue facility was from
major roads.
“This allows us to get to
our primary critical routes
faster than we did before,” he
said. “And obviously Route
24 is new, so there’s all that
extra that has been recently
added over the past couple
years with that new construction that’s doubled the size of
that route for us.”
While their ability to
reach main roads faster and
more efficiently will likely
please drivers the most, Mr.
O’Neal and his crew are
equally happy about new
technology and the benefits
that come with a new facility.
One of those is a much
larger salt dome. The old salt
shed’s maximum capacity
was less than 3,000 tons. The
new one more than doubles
that at 7,500 tons and is fully
stocked.
The Ohio Department of
Transportation upgraded
facilities for the 32 trucks in
the Lucas County fleet. All
trucks housed at the Monclova facility have ample garage
space and are stored inside
when not in use–something
that should significantly
extend the lives of the vehicles.
Many trucks also are
retrofitted with stainless steel
beds which, Mr. O’Neal said,
“will last longer than the
trucks themselves.”
Perhaps the most note-
worthy change is the
statewide implementation of
a color scheme on the rear of
the vehicles along with a
green flashing light to pair
with the standard orange and
white lights.
“About 90 percent of the
district fleet has been outfitted with the green lights,” he
said, adding that the lights
make the trucks more visible
to motorists in bad weather.
ODOT is the first in the
country to utilize the bright
green and yellow pattern on
the rear of trucks.
In addition to the large
salt dome and large vehicle
storage bay, the facility features a new wash bay with
spray washers that clean the
undercarriage of the vehicles.
Mr. O’Neal believes the
washing facility is efficient
and safe. The water from the
wash is drained on site to
keep it out of the sewer system. That same water is then
reused to help create brine to
pretreat roadways, he
explained.

Road projects top council’s agenda
By Jane Maiolo
Holland Village Council
approved engineering work
for one road project and
agreed to submit grant applications for two others at the
November 5 meeting.
Council
authorized
$54,000 to Poggemeyer
Design Group to perform
engineering work for the
Almaine/Georgiana road
reconstruction.
Tim Bock, engineer from
Poggemeyer, said the village
applied for funding through
the Ohio Public Works Commission this past construction season, but was denied.
However, leftover funds
became available for the village.
Council also agreed to
apply for OPWC funding to
make improvements to Erie
Street and Nightingale
Drive.
The Nightingale project,
a partial road reconstruction,
will be similar to work done
on Hall Street,” said Mr.
Bock.
That work will include
removing existing asphalt,
repairing the base and
replacing catch basins and
curbs.
“We’re looking at getting
a 49 percent grant,” he said,
adding that the work will
cost between $206,650 and
$251,250 depending on the
thickness of the asphalt.
Other Business
In other business, council:
•Heard from Mayor Mike
Yunker that the Preschool
Trick or Treat held at the
Holland Senior Center was a
big success.
“A lot of people came. It
was really nice and geared
toward the young,” he said.
He believes the event will
grow.
“It’s probably going to
get bigger and bigger,” he
said, adding that he spoke
with a woman who recently
relocated to Holland and
attended the event with her
granddaughter. “She couldn’t stop talking about it and
how it was a really nice
event.”
•Discussed increased
healthcare fees that will be
imposed on the village as a
result of the federal government’s Affordable Healthcare Act.
Lyn Krasula, clerk/treasurer said the village will be
looking at a minimum of
$18,000 in fees, adding that
the number could be much
higher depending on whether
the fee imposed is based on
employees or employees and
their covered dependents.
Mayor Yunker noted that
the village has “no say”
about the fees, which will be
added into the village policy.
•Approved a revision to a
contract with Bowser
Morner for the maintenance
building.
New pavement was not
included in the original contract, explained Ms. Krasula,
adding that the additional
work costs $1,400.
•Paid bills totaling
$60,385.
•Learned that the pickleball club, comprised of 49
seniors, is working with Proclaim FM to use the radio
station’s indoor facilities on
Angola Road as a possible
place to play the sport during
the winter months.
•Elected not to request a
hearing for a liquor permit
for Fritz and Alfredo’s, 1007
South McCord Road in the
Strawberry Meadows plaza.
Council’s next meeting is
at 7:30 p.m., November 19
at council chambers, 1245
Clarion Avenue and is open
to the public.
SHS athletes recognized at fall sports awards
By Sean Maiolo
The boys cross country
squad highlighted a monumental fall sports season for
several Springfield High
School teams and individuals.
Head Coach Marty Perlaky’s runners did something
no other boys cross country
team has managed to
achieve in school history:
winning the Northern Lakes
League title.
The Blue Devils ran their
way into the school’s record
books through a large team
effort with an experienced
quintet of runners leading
the way and garnered AllLeague honors as well.
Senior Joe Wood and
junior Andrew Messer
earned Second Team AllNLL while junior Kyle
Shively and seniors Phil
Wood and Kohl Taberner all
cracked the All-NLL First
Team, giving the Blue Devils nearly half of the sevenathlete league elite in cross
country.
Taberner also took home
the individual NLL crown
and was recognized off the
course as one of 40 senior
All-Academic honorees,
while Phil Wood was named
the team’s outstanding athlete.
Taberner was not alone

But the endurance runners were not the only ones
to etch their names into the
annals of Springfield sports
lore this fall.
In her final season leading the Lady Devils tennis
squad, Head Coach Gina
Ciminillo notched her
100th career victory midway through the 2013 campaign.
Junior Macey Mauriello
also earned Third Team
All-NLL honors for her
performance throughout the
year and was her team’s
outstanding athlete of
2013.
The girls featured a pair
of representatives on the
senior All-Academic Team
in Kelsey Escue and Miranda Spillett.
Volleyball Head Coach
McKenna Reitz had anoth-
er strong group this year,
though the team was unable
to claim back-to-back
league championships,
falling to Anthony Wayne
in the sectional finals.
The team included a
number of All-League performers. Senior Michelle
Asiedu, accompanied by
talented juniors Ashley
Nuding and Libby Mathewson, received First Team
All-NLL volleyball squad
honors.
Seniors Gabby Teifke
and Meredith Shank, also
the team’s outstanding athlete, garnered Second Team
All-NLL accolades while
senior Jaidyn Patridge
rounded out the honorees in
landing the Third Team.
And like the boys cross
country crew, the volleyball
ladies had their fair share
of veteran smarts, with
Asiedu, Shank, Teifke,
Miranda Ash and Emily
Wood all earning senior
All-Academic honors.

Brine production is
more efficient at the modernized facility. The transportation administrator
said crews can produce
three
times
more
brine–approximately 3,000
gallons per hour–than they
could at Detroit Avenue.
The new system, which
is automated, makes brine
production far more pre-
cise, he said.
Springfield and Monclova townships, which
have contracts with
ODOT, also benefit from
the new system. The townships’ vehicles can quickly
and accurately load brine
and pretreat their roads.
“It’s definitely a good
tool that we’ve come up
with over the years
eight players elevated to
All-League teams.
The boys were represented by seniors Alex
Lucio and Jalen Shorter on
the First Team, junior Nick
Yeager and senior Tommy
Kleinfelter on the Second
Team and junior Josh Siers
on the Third Team.
Senior Brian Chamberlain, the team’s outstanding
athlete who also doubled as
the kicker for the Blue
Devils football team, was a
senior All-Academic honoree along with teammates
Devin Burns, Andrew Case,
Daniel Helminiak, Kleinfelter and Shorter.
The girls landed an athlete on each of the NLL’s
three All-League teams,
with junior Alana Takats
capturing First Team, junior Hope Geiger Second
Team and freshman Erica
Myers Third Team.
Junior Angie Gresko
was the outstanding athlete
of 2013 and Brooke Ford
was recognized on the senior All-Academic Team.
[because] when you use
brine, you use less salt so
it’s a cost savings,” said
Mr. O’Neal. “We make it,
based on the salt price, and
water and everything. It’s
roughly less than 5 cents a
gallon [to produce].”
He noted that increasing the use of wetter and
heavier brine salt helps
prevent “bounce scatter,”
something that happens

I was working at Orange
County Medical Center, Orange County California. I
could not believe what had
happened, I was sick to my
stomach and felt like crying, I
said to myself, this is a bad
day for the United States. I
had a sick feeling for the next
few days.

I remember as I was in
Mrs. Rose’s third grade class
at Washington Elementary
School in Bryan. Another
teacher walked in and told
her something she sat down
dropped her head on the desk
and started to cry.
She didn’t tell us what
happened, and we were all
very perplexed. Then an announcement came over the
PA that we had an early dismissal from school.
There was news coverage
of the event, and we did
watch the funeral. His daughter Caroline fascinated me as
we had the same name and I
didn't know any other
Carol’s. I remember the children at the funeral and the
hearse being pulled by horses
it seems but things are fuzzy
on that. It’s amazing how that
sticks in one’s mind even as
young as I was.

On November 22, I was
sitting in a doctor’s office in
Adrian, Michigan. The waiting room was large with
about 20 chairs, most occupied. A receptionist was sitting at a desk near the
entrance. An elderly man,
looking worried, was smoking a cigarette. A pair of
ladies were talking about a
recipe in a magazine, and a
pregnant woman was holding
hands with the man beside
her.
Suddenly, a woman
rushed in screaming and hysterical; “The President has
been shot! The President has
been shot!” The receptionist
ran to the lady who continued to cry out. Doctors came
out in their white coats followed by patients, some in
gowns. A doctor said something to the receptionist, and
she hurried into the other
room, brought out a radio
and plugged it in.
Instantly, the news was
confirmed. Everyone froze in
place–no one moved, no one
spoke–while we listened to
the report, most of us weeping silently, many praying.
The doctors, still standing in
the reception area with waiting patients, had tears running down their faces.
It was as if the world suddenly
and
shockingly
stopped in those 20 minutes.
Our young, brilliant, charismatic president was cut
down.
For the next several days
it was difficult to function.
Time stopped, watching the
news on television, feeling

over the family farm after
his father died. He built a
small 15-acre farm into a

shops. He was most proud
of the state-of-the-art washing, sorting, and packaging
line which was newly installed.
He was very involved in
his community throughout
the years. He was instrumental in securing the land
for the community park
which is now today Strawberry Aces. He was past

of
Commerce, past president of
the Ohio State Horticultural
Society, a member of the

Fame Honoree and was
awarded Honorary Ambassador to Aruba for his years
of patronage to the island.
He was a member of the
American Quarter Horse Association and a member of
St. Joan of Arc Church.
He enjoyed traveling,
horse showing and family,
especially spending time
with his grandchildren.
Mr. MacQueen is survived by his wife, Marlene;
children, Cindy (Sam)

I am reminded many
times per week of that eventful day in November as I
drive by Springfield High
School where I was a student
teacher for Mr. Kim Wray
during the 1963-64 University of Toledo’s fall semester.
Often, I try to visualize
the school’s front office
where I was among the other
teachers calling family members to share the shock or to
get a ride home a little earlier
than usual as classes were
hurriedly cancelled. I frequently tell my daughter or
grandson that fact.
The entire school–along
with
the
entire
country–seemed to be paralyzed with disbelief and
everything became very, very
silent. I remember that for
days afterward, people were
glued to their television sets
and spoke only of the assassination.
My husband and I were
married about four weeks
later and had planned to honeymoon in New York City,
where we wanted to spend
out first married New Year’s
Eve in Time’s Square.
We decided to take a side
trip to Washington D.C. to
visit the Eternal Light and
were among the first visitors.
It recently had been lit by
Jackie Kennedy on a dark
early winter night.
At that time, it was only a
crude-looking flame amid a
recently dug grave site but it
was very touching and had a
profound emotional effect on
us. Years later, when we visited the site, now a monument to a great man, we were
painfully reminded of the day
that changed the world and
changed our generation forever.

I was working at Kaiser
Jeep Corp. in the administration building. Someone from
the mail room (they were allowed a radio) came running
and shouting that Kennedy
had been shot. No one knew
his condition.
We got the news in bits
and pieces. We learned that
John Connally, governor of
Texas, also had been shot.
Everyone just quit working. We were standing around
in huddled little groups waiting to hear something more.
Some people were crying.
Everyone was in shock. We
didn’t hear more until later
that day when Walter
Cronkite announced that the
President was dead.
I was 28 years old, and
nothing like that had ever
happened in my lifetime. It
was followed only a few days
later by the assassination of
Lee Harvey Oswald, and five
years later Robert Kennedy
and Martin Luther King were
gunned down.
In 1972 came the attempted assassination of
George Wallace, governor of
Alabama, leaving him wheelchair-bound.
America’s age of innocence was shattered and
gone. It was a very violent

I remember my son Matt
was in his playpen, and I was
listening to the radio when
the news broke. It came as
such a shock that I don’t
think it set in right away. It’s
hard to believe that it has
been 50 years.

Springfield board, staff among OSBA presenters
Each year at the annual Capital Conference, the Ohio School Boards Association invites select school districts to give presentations on their accomplishments and best
practices. Last week, Board of Education President Ken Musch, Superintendent Kathryn
Hott, Director of Federal Programs Matt Geha and Crissey Principal Steve Lee spoke
on”Against All Odds–a Success Story.”
They provided details on how the district communicates with stakeholders to garner
support and improve its image. They also demonstrated how individualized data was
tracked to help each student to achieve high academic success–all within a tight budget.

Springfield Schools
Continues to Seek
Cost Cutting Opportunities
Springfield Local Schools
has remained aggressive in
our efforts to identify opportunities to reduce our expenditures. One way we have
sought to save money has
been through “shared services.”
We are pleased to share
that, thanks to recent conversations between the district
and Springfield Township, an
agreement has been reached
regarding the removal of
snow and purchase of salt.
This joint agreement will
help us further reduce costs
during the winter months.
The plan is that in the event
of a snowstorm, Springfield
Township will deploy their
fleet early in the morning to
our main campus area and a
truck at each of the offsite
buildings. By doing so, the
snow can be removed more
quickly and increase the
travel safety for both staff and
students.
We also will now be buying salt through Springfield
Township–their fees are almost half the cost we were
able to negotiate with prior
vendors.
Springfield Local Schools
would like to thank the
Springfield
Township
Trustees and their staff for
their willingness to share
services.

A Tribute to Those
Who Serve–America
and Holloway Celebrate
Veterans Day
Students participated in a
number of activities right
from the beginning of the
day with a special morning
announcement, a variety of
classroom activities and a
building wide event of
building our own honor
wall.
For the honor wall, every
student received a “brick” to
take home and complete
with their family.
Each brick listed the student’s name, family/relative/friends name who may
be serving or have served in
the armed services, and then
listed the branch and possibly war they were involved
in.
Staff and students returned the bricks to school
where we created our own
veterans honor wall in the
cafeteria.
Throughout the day
classes took time to go and
view the memorial tribute.
Many teachers followed up
the visitation with class discussions, story books, reflective writing, poem, and
even a thank you note to
those who have served our
country.
We ended the day with
the entire school meeting in
the school library where the
second and third grade
classes sang a tribute to
those who serve or have
served our country.
Throughout the next few
weeks and at our parentteacher conferences, check

The Meaning
of Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is about family. It’s not about the games.
It’s not about the food. It’s not
about the gifts. It’s about family. Family is the most important thing in the world.
–Chad
T-U-R-K-E-Y
To eat turkey on Thanksgiving is a tradition.
Unbelievably tasty turkey.
Run to the turkey when
you smell it!
Knowledge is what we
know about Thanksgiving.
Every year we celebrate
Thanksgiving.
You, me and everyone will
celebrate Thanksgiving.
–Zach
T-U-R-K-E-Y
To you I served the best
turkey with hearts and love.
Unusual mashed potatoes
with goodies.
Realized I forgot the pie.
Kinds of foods with love,
smiles and happiness.
Eat all your food and save
room for pie and goodies.
Your Thanksgiving will be
great!
–Toniah
T-H-A-N-K-F-U-L

very fun filled.
Unity–I unite with my family on Thanksgiving.

–Meadow
T-U-R-K-E-Y
Thanksgiving is all about
Thanksgiving. I ate a turkey
that day. I played games with
my cousin. I played Uno with
my brother and my mom. I
watched a movie with my
brother in our room. After the
movie, I went to bed. This was
the best Thanksgiving I ever
had.
–Jericho
My Favorite Thanksgiving
My favorite Thanksgiving
was all about fun. First we
watched TV. Second, we ate
turkey, chicken, pumpkin pie
and salad. Third, all the kids
got water balloons and
brought them outside and so
we had a water fight in the
pool. In the pool, we were allowed to dunk the water balloons. Our uncle threw us in
the pool. Also, we just sat in
the pool to relax. The pool
water was cold. My brother
and I had a contest–whoever
can stay under the longest. My
brother won! That’s my perfect Thanksgiving.
–Jacob
The Best Thanksgiving
The best Thanksgiving is
going to be this year, November 2013. Since I don’t like
turkey, I’m going to eat pizza.
Me and my family are going to
be together at my grandma’s
house. We are going to see the
beautiful huge falls. I can’t
wait to see them. Last time we
went there it was raining but it
was fun. When we went there,
my cousin was sick so she didn’t have fun. She was sleeping
all the way there. I can’t wait
for this Thanksgiving.
–Yara
The Best Thanksgiving
Ever
The best Thanksgiving I
ever had was last year. We had
three tables of food and played
games for one hour. When we
ate dinner, we ate turkey, corn,
beans and ham. We all got
stuffed, and my brother beat
me in cornhole, then I beat
him, then everybody left. After
everybody went home, we got
to do whatever we wanted,
and that was the best Thanksgiving ever.
–Justin
The Best Thanksgiving
I Ever Had
The best Thanksgiving I
ever had was when I had the
big feast. The turkey was
amazing, and the mashed potatoes were awesome! I love it
when my brother Wyatt and I
played outside and upstairs.
When I was about to go to
bed, I watched a movie. That
was the best Thanksgiving
I’ve had.
–Leah
The Best Thanksgiving
I love Thanksgiving in
many ways. For example, I
just love the wonderful turkey
and mashed potatoes, it just
hits the spot! My favorite thing
about Thanksgiving is saying
what you’re thankful for. I’m
thankful for so many things,
especially my family. My family is so amazing. I’m also
thankful for my awesome life.
It’s important to be thankful
for a lot of things because
that’s what Thanksgiving is all
kindness.
Unusual pies.
Realized I forgot he cornucopia.
Kinds of goodies.
Eat
Your turkey.
–Nakyia
The Perfect Thanksgiving
The perfect Thanksgiving
would have my mom and my
dad, well my whole family!
We would sit in my grandma’s
living room with the big bright
chandelier and all getting
along and playing games like
Twister, tag and hide and clap
and all that stuff. Then we
would probably jump in the
leaf piles in my grandma’s
yard. We would go inside for
dinner and smell the pumpkin
pie and the mashed potatoes
and gravy, chicken and other
tasty food. After we would eat,
we would say what we’re
thankful for. That’s the perfect
Thanksgiving.
–Laina
The Perfect Thanksgiving
You need a good dish. First
you need turkey, corn, potatoes and pumpkin pie. You
need a family fun time game
like checkers, tic-tac-toe or
Apples To Apples. You need to
go outside and have fun.
–Zsadoray
The Perfect Thanksgiving
The perfect Thanksgiving
is at my grandma’s house with
my cousins. It is fun to ride the
four wheeler. I also like the BB
gun competitions. Ball tag is
fun. I like Thanksgiving.
–Zach
The Perfect Thanksgiving
I think the perfect Thanksgiving
would
be…my
grandma comes over and we
have a big Thanksgiving dinner. We would have turkey,
mashed potatoes, cranberry
sauce, stuffing, apple pie and
pumpkin pie. We will go on a
big walk where we will see
leaves falling and flowers
blooming. We will also make
Thanksgiving crafts. That is
my idea of the perfect Thanksgiving.
–Alex
The Perfect Thanksgiving
Good food to have at
Thanksgiving are potatoes,
turkey and pumpkin pie. I
would have my whole family
and friends over for dinner. If
it is hot on Thanksgiving, I
would play outside with my
friends. I think having them
sleep over would be fun. I
wish every child could have a
Thanksgiving dinner.
–Chase
The Perfect Thanksgiving
My perfect Thanksgiving
would be like this. My family
and friends coming over. Also
eating lots of good food like
turkey, mashed potatoes,
baked
chicken,
corn,
mac’n’cheese, cornbread, and
of course pumpkin pie. The
games me and my cousins
play are tag, hide and go seek
and at night we watch football.
I’m thankful for everything I
have.
–Samantha
My Thanksgiving

about. One more thing to
make this the best Thanksgiving ever is to have lots of fun.
There’s my best Thanksgiving.
–Marissa
My Best Thanksgiving
My best Thanksgiving was
in 2012. I had it at my aunt’s
house. The first fun thing I did
was play with my brother and
sister while the food was cooking. Then me, my brother and
sister were looking at my
brother’s presents. There were
presents because my brother’s
birthday is on Thanksgiving.
Then a few minutes later, the
food was ready. Since I was
very, very hungry I ate a lot!
Since me, my brother and sister got done eating early, we
played again until the adults
were done eating their food.
After the adults were done eating, it was time to watch my
brother open up his presents.
The presents he got were what
he wanted. One of the things
he got was two remote control
cars. Finally, it was time to go.
We said goodbye to everybody. The end.
–Luke
New Thanksgiving Dish
My new dish is coco cream
flavored ice cream with blueberry sauce. First you need
one can of Coca Cola. Then
you need 10 ounces of cream.
Then you need eight ice cubes,
and finally you need two
quarts of milk and a 20 ounce
bowl.
For the blueberry sauce
you need one bottle of cream
and canned blueberry sauce
and a small bowl. Then stir it
up and put the sauce and ice
cream in the freezer for about
10 hours, then take it out and
put it in the refrigerator.
Now you need to find four
ice cream containers that are
empty. You should have made
enough ice cream to fill all
four containers to the top. You
also should have one pound of
blueberry sauce in a container.
That’s how you make coco
cream ice cream. The end.
–Chase
The Urkey
My new Thanksgiving dish
would be called the urkey! It’s
made of a turkey as a base, ice
cream on the sides and mashed
potatoes in a hole on the top.
I called it the urkey because of how “turkey” without
a “t” is “urkey.”
Fact: I made the recipe of
the urkey out of my favorite
Thanksgiving dishes.
To shape the urkey, you
need to cut a deep hole in the
top and make the sides straight
up and down. Now put ice
cream on the sides. Next,
mashed potatoes go in the hole
on the top. It is optional to add
gravy.
You should use this as a
main course because it will be,
or should be, big.
You need to cook it at 100
degrees because of the ice
cream.
To make it better, serve it
with punch.
That was my new dish to
make Thanksgiving better!

Toledo Area Humane Society’s
PET OF THE WEEK
ACORN
Acorn is a 1-year-old female tortoiseshell.
The
Toledo Area Humane Society took in Acorn and her
kittens when they had
nowhere else to turn.
Acorn is a sweet girl
who likes attention. She can
be a little bit vocal when she
wants something so her new
owner must be willing to put
up with an opinionated kitty. Acorn is not an overly cuddly
kitty and she is not fond of being held or carried around. She
enjoys being petted and being around people. She has an independent nature and prefers a calm environment without
other cats competing for space.
Acorn is currently enjoying the new cat room at the
Toledo Area Humane Society’s ReTail Store. Anyone who is
looking for a beautiful new kitty is invited to stop by the new
Byrne Road store and say a hello to Acorn. All of the cats
at the ReTail store have been spayed or neutered, examined
by a TAHS veterinarian, are current on their vaccinations,
and microchipped.
For more information, visit the Toledo Area Humane Society,
1920 Indian Wood Circle, Maumee or call 419-891-0705.
All adoptable animals can be viewed by visiting the Web site

Springfield Middle School News
Dana Falkenberg,
Principal
Following is an introduction to two new Springfield
Middle School staff members, written by students.
Meet Miss Eisel
By Orees Shikwana
Mr. Rathke might be
gone, but the seventh grade
Ionic Wonders aren’t without a social studies teacher.
Miss Eisel is replacing Mr.
Rathke to teach social studies and world history.
Government is Miss
Eisel’s favorite subject, but
she loves all topics. She
picked social studies because it is her favorite subject. So Miss Eisel feels
lucky that SMS needed a social studies teacher.
Miss Eisel got into
teaching
because
she
wanted to combine her favorite subject, social studies, with her desire to work
with people. Like most
teachers, she has some
funny, worst, best, embarrassing and favorite school
memories. For example, her
funniest memory of school
is when her biology teacher
ate a piece of chalk. Her
worst school memory is of
math class, since she wasn’t
really fond of math.
Her favorite school memory isn’t from social studies,
though, but English. The
students read “The Great
Gatsby,” then got to dress up
wearing 1920s style cloth-
ing. Her teacher also taught
them the Charleston (which
is a dance).
Miss Eisel’s best school
memory is being in her favorite class, listening to her
favorite
teacher,
who
sparked her interest and love
of social studies.
Last but not least, Ms.
Eisel’s embarrassing school
memory is when she fell
down the stairs her freshman
year of high school and
freshman year of college,
which she attended in 2001
at UT.
Meet Miss Minard
By Breanna Norman
Everyone welcome Team
DNA’s
new
inclusion
teacher, Miss Minard. She is
the new intervention specialist, which means she
teaches a little bit of everything.
Before coming to Springfield, Miss Minard taught at
Arbor Hills Junior High in
Sylvania.
“I chose Springfield because I heard about their
good reputation,” says Miss
Minard.
She loved learning and
school growing up and attended Bowling Green State
University for college.
Her best memory of
being in school would be
basketball, but she hated
when she had to get braces.
“Having my braces tightened and taking pictures was
the worst,” says Miss Minard, a feeling a lot of students can probably relate to.
The great thing about that
year in school, however, was
that her basketball team won
the championship.
Miss Minard is very excited about teaching. She
loves teaching about study
skills, but her least favorite
subject is science. Miss Minard is looking forward to
working with the students of
Team DNA, along with Miss
Grosschedl.
When Miss Minard isn’t
in school she likes to play
badminton and run. This is
Miss Minard’s first year
teaching eighth grade, so
show her how great we are.

Holland’s Honor Wall
and Veterans Program
Holland Elementary actually started our veterans’
salute long before the actual
Veterans Day by constructing our annual Honor Wall.
A special thank you to the
students in Ms. Katafiasz’s
class and to her classroom
aide, Kelly Haskins, for
helping build our Holland
Honor Wall.
Prior to Veterans Day
every student at Holland received a “brick” for them to
fill out the name of an honored veteran or active duty
serviceman, their branch of
service, and the name of the
Holland student who was
paying their respects to the
veteran.
Our honor wall contains
the names of more than 500
veterans or active duty personnel and the original artwork was produced by the
students in the photo.
On Friday, November 8,
Holland Elementary held its
annual Veterans Day program to honor service men
and women from Holland
School
families
who
presently serve our country
in the Armed Forces or have
served us in the past. Our
students sang “The Star
Spangled Banner,” followed
by three other patriotic
songs. Under the leadership
of DeLee Beadle, Holland
music teacher, every student
sang with pride.
Honorees in attendance
were parents, grandparents,
uncles, aunts and friends of
Holland students and staff.
More than 50 veterans and
guests participated in our
special musical program.
All honorees had some
important things in common:
all served (or are actively
serving) our country in the
military and all have children or grandchildren,
nephews, nieces and friends

the Marines. The program
concluded with a special
singing of “I Love My Flag”
by the 1st grade students. A
special thank you goes to
Mrs. Mercer, the music
teacher, for helping to coordinate the songs and plan
the program.

Elementary.
Holland fourth grade
teacher Becky Carr had her
father at the program as an
honoree; Mrs. Carr’s dad
(Mr. Roberts) served in the
U.S. Navy during World War
II. A special tribute was paid
to helicopter pilot CWO Terrance Geer who lost his life
in Iraq. CWO Geer died on
August 19, 2009. Mr. Geer is
uncle to Holland second
grader Joey Keller.
The depth of sacrifice on
the part of our veterans and
their families draws us all together. We enjoy the goodness of our time together, the
freedom of opportunity and
education, a place of relative
comfort and the capacity to
improve via our own efforts
and the help of others…especially our veterans. After
the ceremony, the veterans
were invited to share stories
and memories together while
enjoying coffee with each
other and with their special
Holland student. Thank you
again for all your service.

We are proud that our
students have worked very
hard to change the culture of
our high school to one that
celebrates equally the efforts
of high schools students in
the classroom, playing field,
stage and in service to others.
We are pleased, too, that
the students are “taking their
show on the road” to other
high schools in the Toledo
area.
On their day off school
on November 13, several
leaders joined their peers at
Swanton High School to
provide mentoring for their
fledgling efforts.
This day was one of a
collective 14 that took place
during the first trimester.
What was once Devils Give
a Day has certainly grown
into more than two weeks of
caring. We are very proud of
our students for giving back
to our community.
We would like to remind
all members of our community that they can nominate
a deserving student for a
Youth Jefferson Award.

Veterans Day
Dorr Elementary observed Veteran’s Day in a
special way on November
11. The students helped create a “Wall of Honor” by
filling out bricks with the
names of family and friends
that have served in the military.
The red, white, and blue
bricks were then displayed
in a patriotic fashion along
the hallway at the main entrance of the school. More
than 200 veterans were honored in the display.
The students also had an
assembly in the gymnasium.
Mrs. Disalle’s fourth grade
class led the school in
singing our national anthem.
Mr. Fritch, Dorr dean of students –who is also a veteran– shared some remarks
on the importance of the
day. The students were privileged to have Paul Johnson
speak to them about his experiences as a veteran with
