DECA marketing program students
host employer appreciation breakfast
Brought to you by the sponsors listed on page 3.
On May 10, students
enrolled in the Penta Career
Center DECA marketing
education programs held an
employer appreciation program, recognizing their
employers and presenting
awards of distinction to two
employers.
Receiving awards of distinction for 2012 were Rave
Cinemas at the Shops at
Fallen Timbers and Darlene
Stilwell
and
DeEtte
Nijakowski, mother/daughter owners of the Tim Hortons stores in Rossford and
Maumee.
Cassidy Cohen, a Springfield High School senior,
presented the award plaque
to Rave Cinemas representatives Brooke Fraley, a 2009
Maumee and DECA program graduate and Lindsay
Sullivan.
“Rave is one of the leading employers of our DECA
program,” said Cassidy. “
The business has coordinated students every year since
buying out National Amusements in 2009 and even
employs staff and management that were students of
the organization previously.”
Noah Intagliata, a
Maumee High School
senior, presented Tim Hortons’ owners with a plaque.
He noted that Mrs. Stilwell
became interested in franchise options after writing a
research paper for college.
“She chose Tim Hortons
because the company was
focusing on expansion in the
United States,” he said.
She and her daughter
took over the poorly-performing Rossford location
and through hard work and
the hiring of dedicated
employees, turned around
the store, reaching $1 million in sales in three years.
SHS DECA student Rachel Hardin recognized her
employer, John Lauth of Speedway.
The team then built the
new Maumee store in 2008
and hope to expand in the
area, he explained.
“Mrs. Stiles and Mrs.
Nijakowski have established
a relationship with the Penta
Career Center marketing
programs over the years,”
Noah continued. “They have
continually supported the
programs as training stations
sponsors through marketing
research projects and by
contributing to community
events. Thank you so much
for all you have done for our
programs and our students.”
Jimmy Reyes of the
Anthony Wayne High
School DECA program,
commended all 97 training
station sponsors/employers.
“On this day the seniors
would like to take this time
to say ‘thank you’ to our
employers for a job well
done, by hosting this breakfast in your honor,” he said.
Recognized for their support of the DECA marketing
program were the Andersons, Appliance Center,
Arby’s, Argo-Hytos, Barry
Bagels, Bass Pro Shops,
Belmont Country Club,
Biaggi’s Ristorante Italian,
Blackberry Corners, Blue

“Bringing the past to life
for generations to come,” the
Holland-Springfield-Spencer
Historical Society celebrated
a grand opening May 12 of
its new headquarters at 7154
Front Street.
“What a beautiful building and location,” Holland
Mayor Mike Yunker said at
the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
“One hundred years from
now, most of us won’t be
here,” the mayor said with a
smile. “This will be a way of
preserving what happened
yesterday and years before
for 100 years from now.”
One of the first commercial buildings in Holland, it
was purchased by the village
in January.
Mayor Yunker was instrumental in obtaining the property and leasing it to the society.
Built in 1864 at the corner
of Front and Clark streets,
the structure was known for
many years as the Palmer
House, a boarding house for
overnight guests coming in
on the train. Over the years,
it housed an implement and
hardware business, mercantile store, post office, antique
store and most recently the
art shop Copper Moon.
The mayor hopes the new
headquarters will encourage
local residents to donate the
artifacts and memorabilia
“that they’ve kept in garages,
bedroom closets and dresser
drawers.”
He noted there now is
space for cataloging and documenting photos and papers,
and he hopes more young
people from the community
will be involved.
Along with Karla Miller,
president of the historical
society, the mayor presented
awards of appreciation in
honor of two women who
founded the organization,
Barbara Pfaff and Mary Ann
Griffith.
Mrs. Pfaff was on hand to
accept her award, and Mrs.
Griffith’s posthumous award
was presented to her husband, Lawrence Griffith.
“Mary Ann would be so
proud–this was our dream,”
Mrs. Pfaff said, after the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Along with Mrs. Miller,
the other current historical
society board members are
vice president Janith Grant,
secretary Danilynn Miller
and treasurer Douglas Sneider.
Committee chairmen are
Joyce Lane, publicity; Alvin
Grant, membership; Danilynn Miller, Web site; Emma
Nachtrab, Facebook; Bill and
Marie Merrill, Strawberry
Historic artifacts on display include memorabilia from local veterans, the fire department and schools.

At the May 15 meeting,
Holland Village Council
unanimously approved
renewal of the employee
health care insurance plan
with Medical Mutual of
Ohio.
The one-year renewal
policy, which begins on
June 1, affects 16 employees.
Councilman Noah Stone
said the renewal proposal
initially was “quite a bit
higher,” but added that Stapleton Insurance Group
was able to lower the estimated 22 percent increase.
Mr. Stone said the village saved more than
$30,000 last year by paying
a higher deductible and
picking up that cost for
employees. “We decided to
stick with the same plan,”
he added.
Dan Asbury of Stapleton
Insurance Group compared
the Medical Mutual Plan
with
Anthem
Blue
Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna,
Paramount Associates and
United Healthcare and
asked each provider for
their lowest, best costs.
“Medical Mutual got it
down to just under 10 per-
Festival.
At the ceremony, Danilynn Miller read a short history of the society, which
started in 1994 when Mrs.
Pfaff and Mrs. Griffith working on their own family histories met through Boy
Scouts and church with their
two sons. While sharing
information, they discovered
they were related by marriage.
They began researching
the history of Holland, and
Springfield and Spencer
townships. Soon after, “a few
more genealogy buffs joined
them.”
The first meeting of the
group under its current name
was held in the home of
Annette Colchagoff in
Crissey, Ohio, in January
1995. Meetings continued
over the years in homes,
schools, churches and community buildings.
“The materials gathered
were stored in boxes, kept in
closets and homes all over
the area.
“Hope was never lost that
someday, they would have a
place to meet and display all
the information and artifacts
they had collected,” Ms.
Miller recalled.
Many garage sales, bake
sales, auctions and Strawberry Festival booths were
staffed to gather support and
financial means to establish
“a special place to call
home.”
“Today that dream has
become a reality,” Ms. Miller
said.
“Historical in itself, the
building will be home to all
of the artifacts, documents
and pictures gathered over
the last 17 years, on display
for the general public.
“Eighteen family histories
of pioneers from the area line
the shelves in the library
room,” she added.
“With heartfelt gratitude
to Mary Ann Griffith, who is
with us in spirit, and Barb
Pfaff, and the Village of Holland for entrusting this building to us, we begin our future
by bringing the past to life
for generations to come,” she
concluded.
Ms. Miller also presented
the first $250 John Hartsock
Memorial Scholarship to
Christopher Clark, a Springfield High School senior who
plans to attend Eastern
Michigan University.
The scholarship is named
Mayor Yunker presented awards for the two founders of the historical society, Barbara Pfaff, left, and Mary Ann Griffith. Lawrence Griffith, right, accepted on behalf of
his late wife.
in honor of the former historical society president who
passed away last year.
Mayor Yunker praised the
efforts of Mr. Hartsock.
“John’s heart was in the
historical society,” the mayor
noted. “He spent many hours
working for it. And anything
that came up which had to do
with history–John was
involved.”
Displays at the historical
society include photos of
local officials, notable homes
in the area, railroad workers,
old trains and the Holland
depot.
Four rooms in the lower
level of the building feature a
variety of memorabilia from
area schools, fire departments, veterans organiza-
tions and more.
The public is invited to
contribute additional historical items, photos and documents.
The historical society also
is conducting a new members drive. An annual membership is $12, or $10 for
seniors. Dues can be mailed
to: HSS Historical Society,
P.O. Box 745, Holland, Ohio
43528 Attn: HSS President.
Meetings are held at 6:30
p.m., on the fourth Thursday
of each month, and are open
to the public.
A handicap ramp has
been installed at the front
door to improve accessibility.

Historical Society Secretary Danilynn Miller presents the
first John Hartsock Memorial Scholarship to Springfield
High School senior Christopher Clark.
Among the many photos displayed at the historical society are notable homes of the area, such as the Walter
Durdel homestead on Angola Road, the Holloway house
on Gunn Road, the Hovey homestead on Maumee Street
and the Dunn house on Madison Street.

cent (increase),” he said.
“In today’s era, that’s just
unbelievable.”
He noted that under the
Stapleton Cash Flow
Advantage plan, the village
reimburses
$1,000
deductible with a family
maximum of $3,000 reimbursed.
If 25 percent of employees reach the deductible,
the village will save
$41,928, he explained.
Mr. Asbury said the
amount declines as follows
should more employees
meet the deductible: 50
percent, $32,178; 75 per-
cent, $22,428, and 100 percent, $12,678.
“On average only 22
percent
meet
the
deductible,” he said,
adding, “The bottom line is
you will always save
money.”
Mr. Asbury also recommended council continue
its VSP vision plan and
Guardian dental plan.
“The vision plan went
up $13 per month for the
entire group,” and he noted
the dental plan increased
by 11 percent, which was
comparable to Delta, the
only other carrier that
offered a similar plan.
He concluded, “I want
to save as much money as I
can and be a good agent for
you.”
Council President Lee
Irons, filling for Mayor
Mike Yunker, said the
mayor and clerk/treasurer
Lyn Krasula had reviewed
the package and recommended its approval.

Click It or Ticket campaign begins May 21
The 2012 national Click
It or Ticket seat belt enforcement mobilization kicks off
May 21 to help save lives by
cracking down on those who
don’t buckle up.
The Lucas County Traffic Safety Program and the
agencies of the Lucas County DUI Task Force are joining with other state and
local law enforcement officers and highway safety
advocates nationwide to
help save more lives by
strongly enforcing seat belt
laws around the clock.
According to the U.S.
Department of Transportation’s National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, in 2010 nationally, 61
percent of the 10,647 passenger vehicle occupants
who were killed in motor
vehicle traffic crashes
overnight (6 p.m. to 5:59
a.m.) were not wearing their
seat belts at the time of the
collision, compared to 42
percent during the daytime
hours.
“Too many drivers and
passengers on the road at
night are not wearing their
seat belts, and it all too often
ends in tragedy,” said Gwen
Neundorfer, coordinator of
the Lucas County Traffic
Safety Program. “Seat belts
are the most effective safety
feature ever invented and
have helped to save thousands of lives. Still, one in
five Americans fail to regularly wear a seat belt when
driving or riding in a motor
vehicle.”
Current seat belt use in
Lucas County is 80 percent
while Ohio’s belt use is 84.1
percent. In 2011, of the 22
motor vehicle fatalities in
Lucas County where seat
belts were available, 70 percent were not buckled up.
Many of these deaths happened because the person
was thrown from the vehicle, and it landed on top of
them or they struck the
pavement, pole, tree, or
cement abutment and didn’t
survive.
Younger motorists and
men are particularly at risk.
NHTSA data shows that
among teen and young adult
passenger vehicle occupants
in 2010, ages 18-34, which
were killed in motor vehicle
traffic crashes, 62 percent
were not buckled up at the
time of the crash–the highest
percentage of any age
group. The number jumps
to 66 percent when just men
in this age group are included.
While this year’s Click It
or Ticket enforcement mobilization runs from May 21
through June 3, motorists
should know that officers
are out enforcing seat belt
laws year-round.
“Those who choose not
to wear a seat belt will feel
the heat from law enforcement officers, deputies and
troopers who will be out
cracking down on Click It or
Ticket violators. Motorists
should buckle up every time
they go out, both day and
night,” said Deputy Mark
Woodruff, coordinator of the
Lucas County DUI Task
Force. “Law enforcement
agencies will be conducting
special overtime enforcement and are prepared to
ticket anyone not buckled
up…no warnings and no
excuses.”

A letter from ESC Superintendent Sandra Frisch
began, “Dear Linda, I am pleased to inform you that you

couldn’t be happier. She received the award, which
included a $500 check, during the ESC’s annual Employee Recognition Dinner on May 10.
Above is Ms. Bass with Springfield Assistant Superintendent Dr. Todd Cramer, who said, “Springfield Schools

Springfield Local Schools
Thank You for
the Parent Feedback
Evaluation is an important method of feedback that
is used to increase effectiveness on critical areas such as
curriculum and teaching initiatives. Each year, Springfield Local Schools invites
parents to share their opinions through an online survey program that provides
important feedback as they
rate their satisfaction on topics ranging from academics,
communication, and the effectiveness of our Web site.
Thank you to the 539 parents
who participated in this
year’s survey–this represents
16 percent of our total parent
population and is an increase
of more than 6 percent from
last year.
We use the data gained
through the survey in a variety of ways–it is shared with
members of the board of education, administrators, our
district-level and buildinglevel improvement teams,
and discussed during strategic planning sessions and at
staff meetings. Be assured,
we read and listen to all
comments and suggestions
offered for the improvement
of the district. Again this
year, we did our best to make
the survey process user
friendly.
Questions on the survey
that parents were asked to
rate their satisfaction with
included:
Questions and
Responses
High/challenging Learning Expectations, 91 percent
responded very satisfied/satisfied
Efforts to promote Cultural Awareness, 90 percent
responded very satisfied/satisfied
The quality of the Principal/Administration, 91 percent
responded
very
satisfied/satisfied
Communication, overall
89 percent responded very
satisfied/satisfied
Communication
from
District through Web site, 90
percent responded very satisfied/satisfied
Student Access to Current
Technology, 90 percent responded very satisfied/satisfied
Customer Service-Calling/Visiting a School, 91
percent responded very satisfied/satisfied
Use of the Web site for
Information, 90 percent responded very satisfied/satisfied
Several years ago, we
chose the statement exceptional–without exception to
guide every aspect of our decision-making process. The
success we have attained in
Springfield Local Schools is
due to the strong partnership
that exists between the
school district, our families
and members of the community. By working together,
listening, and respecting parent insights and concerns,
we have created a safe environment in which each child
is challenged to learn to
his/her highest potential.
Although this year’s formal satisfaction survey program has been completed,
we always welcome constructive feedback.

More than 600 area residents were recently treated
to a taste of college life
courtesy of Owens Community College as the academic
institution served as host to
an open house event on the
Toledo-area campus.
During the event, attendees had the chance to learn
about and explore the many
educational programs, services and resources available
at Owens, as well as participate in several hands-on
demonstration
sessions
which took place in the
Schools of Arts and Sciences, Business, Health Sciences, Nursing, Public
Safety and Emergency Preparedness, and Technology.
For 21-year-old Lacey
Cook of Perrysburg, the
open house provided the
perfect day to experience
Owens and its many educational opportunities by meeting with college officials
and visiting several laboratories.
“The open house allowed
me to explore what Owens
has to offer,” said Lacey,
who is considering a career
change after working in
pharmacy for several years.
“This is the first step in
my decision-making process
of possibly choosing a new
career. Owens offers degrees
in everything, which is
great.”
In addition to participating in hands-on demonstrations, visitors had the chance
to meet with representatives
and pick up information
about such educational services as student orientation,
financial aid, placement testing, admissions and advising.
Individuals also visited
the Offices of Career Services, Disability Services,
Student Activities and Oserve, as well as the Child
Care Center and the Owens
Harvest
Food
Pantry
throughout the open house
event.

Dorr Students Enjoy
Classrooms Without Walls
Students and staff at all
four Springfield Elementary
schools, and specifically
those attending Dorr Elementary, feel quite fortunate
that our Board of Education
members afford us the opportunity to take classroom
learning and broaden it with
trips “into the field.” In
some cases, described
within, you’ll see we mean
that quite literally.
Members of our Dorr
Parent Club, an important
partner in making this learning available for our children, generously donates $1
per child to be used toward
all fees associated with any
trips. Most of our “field
learning” occurs in April and
May when there is a promise
of
better,
spring-like
weather. Needless to say, the
school has been bustling
with the fervor and excitement surrounding learning
opportunities in “classrooms
without walls.”
Realize
though, these are not the
field trips of old. When I was
an elementary student, it
seemed like we took field
trips because it was fun and
both students and teachers
enjoyed the time outside of
the traditional classroom.
This is not the case for our
21st Century learners.
Each trip is either a culmination of weeks of study
or a springboard to begin a
unit or reinforcing current
teaching. For example,
Benefit for

kindergarten classes recently
visited Calder Dairy Farm in
Michigan where many experienced a working farm for
the first time in their lives.
This reinforces their study of
the physical and behavioral
traits of living things, especially those which influence
survival. These traits are
certainly different in farm
animals than any that we
might keep as classroom
pets.
First grade students recently went on two trips, one
to the Toledo Zoo to attend
an endangered species program (State of Ohio standards require these young
learners to describe what re-
sources are, to recognize that
some are limited, and to
learn that many can be extended by our actions).
Along those same lines, our
first grade students visited
Fossil Park and Secor
Metropark, continuing their
study of needed resources
and what comes from living
versus non-living things.
Our third grade students
are anxiously anticipating a
trip to Imagination Station
specifically to see the interactive exhibition entitled
“Eat it Up.” They will learn
about nutrition and exercise
in conjunction with our
“health smart” curriculum
and gain understanding

through the staff’s demonstration of the benefits of
healthy food choices.
These are just a few examples of how the opportunity for experiences “in the
field” can help teachers
bring learning alive for their
students. The concepts
taught before and after a trip
are solidified for children
and remembered years later
because of their connection
to these fun-filled, hands-on
chances to see their learning
in real-world scenarios.
Creating real-world applications of learning is one
more way that Dorr Elementary teachers are exceptional

PET OF THE WEEK
OTTO
Otto is a 3-year-old male
pit bull terrier mix. He was
transferred to the Toledo
Area Humane Society from
the Lucas County Dog Warden. Otto is an active boy
who will need an owner
who has time to exercise
and play with him.
He has had some obedience training and already
knows sit, shake, down, and
off. His adoption fee includes a six-week Good Manners training class to show his
new owners the best way to continue with his training. Otto
loves to be the center of attention and will go out of his way to
make sure you notice him. He likes to play with other dogs and
because he is so active, many dogs might my not enjoy such a
rambunctious playmate. Otto also is fascinated with cats. He
will follow them everywhere and is constantly sniffing and
licking on them, which most cats hate. Otto may be open to
sharing a home with cats, but the cats will be less enthusiastic
about sharing a home with Otto. A very playful dog, he recently learned to play fetch and enjoys spending time outside
with his human friends. He has been neutered, examined by a
TAHS staff veterinarian, is current on his vaccinations, and is
microchipped.
For more information, visit the Toledo Area Humane Society,
1920 Indian Wood Circle, Maumee or call 419-891-0705.

Character Counts
Each month Crissey Elementary recognizes students who have exemplified
exceptional character. The
character trait that students
focused on for the month of
April was “honesty.”
Throughout the month,
the Crissey staff helped students understand what it
means to be “honest.”
Students have an opportunity to be honest throughout all aspects of their
SCHOOL NEWS
school day. Some ways
honesty can be displayed
are admitting when you
need extra help in class, always telling the truth, and
acknowledging when you
are wrong.
At the end of the month,
all classroom teachers nominated one student from
their class who they felt
was most honest.
These students were:
Ashton Graham, Ella Frank,
Katelyn Jones, Kyleigh
Lee, Kera Sensel, Sam
Johnson, Devyn Baillie,
Ch'Taya Koonce, Maddox
Altman, Cindy Baughman,
Heavenlie Blake, Nicholas
Homer, Jacob Tavernier,
Travis Nehren, Alexis Paxton, Kelsi Case, Jalyssa
Marcial, Robbie Schad, and
Austin Weemes.
These Students of Character for the month of April
will have their picture displayed in the hallway and

A major overview of
work by acclaimed American painter Jules Olitski
comes to the Toledo Museum of Art this spring. Revelation: Major Paintings by
Jules Olitski brings together
more than 30 significant
paintings from public and
private collections, highlighting important periods
and themes of Mr. Olitski’s
career.
“This exhibition re-examines Olitski’s entire career,
not just the early years that
brought him to public attention. Here we can see why he
is to be appreciated as one of
America’s most outstanding
modern painters,” said Brian
Kennedy, director of the museum.
The traveling exhibition
was organized by the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City,
Missouri. Most recently
shown at the Museum of
Fine Arts in Houston, Texas,
the exhibition will be on display in TMA’s Canaday
Gallery from May 31
through August 26. Art historians E. A. Carmean Jr.,
Alison de Lima Greene and
Karen Wilkin curated the
show, which will later go to
the American University
Museum at the Katzen Arts
Center in Washington, D.C.
Born in Russia, Mr. Olitski (1922–2007) moved to
the United States as a child.
He first received international acclaim as a maverick
Color Field painter. The socalled Color Field painters
were a group of highly regarded artists in the 1950s
and 1960s employing intense color in abstract formats as the carrier of
emotional meaning. It was a
pivotal time for Mr. Olitski,
whose paintings of that period featured bold colors and
flat graphic shapes. He continued to experiment with
techniques and processes
during the remainder of his
career.
“Olitski’s sweeping and
grand shapes offered a different type of pictorial
drama than that of his many
colleagues and led to his experiments with very large
fields of near-monochrome
color,” said Mr. Kennedy.
“These often enormous
paintings became known as
his landmark Spray paintings, which are at once minimal yet complex in their
gradations and subtle shifts
in hue.”
Later, in his Baroque and
High Baroque paintings–socalled because of their lush
colors and surfaces–Mr.
Olitski accentuated physicality as an expressive element.
Though his paintings were
staunchly abstract, he looked
to the Old Masters of the
Renaissance, the Baroque
and the Dutch Gold Age
“Mr. Olitski was a great admirer of Rembrandt and El
Greco, and they influenced
his work,” said Mr.
Kennedy.
In his last works, Mr.
Olitski introduced abstract
forms and shapes that narrates on both spiritually
charged
and
classical
themes.
The exhibition contains
works spanning five decades
and is arranged in groupings
from each period: Stain
paintings, Spray paintings,
Baroque paintings, High
Baroque paintings and the
Late paintings.
Mr. Kennedy noted that
Mr. Olitski painted through
the night, often not ending
until daybreak. Lighting in
the Canaday Gallery for this
exhibition evokes the atmosphere in which the painter
worked.
He had his first solo exhibition in New York in 1958,
and in 1963 began teaching
at Bennington College in
Vermont. There he became
close friends and exchanged
ideas with Color Field
DP Diner to celebrate one-year
anniversary on Thursday, May 24
The DP Diner will celebrate its one-year anniversary with a celebration
dinner from 5 to 6:30 p.m.,
Thursday, May 24, at the
Dwelling Place, 8201 Angola Road, Holland.
In the past year, the diner
have served more than 1,500
meals to members of the
Holland/Springfield community.
“This opportunity would
not been possible without
the generous donations from
Dwelling Place members,
members of the community
businesses and individuals,”
said the Reverend Josh Plaisance.
The Thursday celebration will feature dinner,
clowns, face painting and
balloon animals for the
young and young at heart,
said the pastor.
“This also will be the
kick-off to increasing our
meals served from the last
Thursday of the month to
the last two Thursdays of the
month,” he said.
Since starting the program, the DP Diner goal has
been to increase the number
of meals served monthly,
said the pastor. “Ultimately
we want to serve a hot meal
one night every week.”
With expenses going up
and gas prices rising close to
$5, DP Diner organizers believe that it is time to increase the meals that they
offer the community, he
added.
Community
members
and area business leaders
are invited to participate in
the meals by giving of their
time to cook and serve or by
making tax-deductible donations to DP Diner.

When my wife, Joan, died, my reaction was overwhelming. Pain I couldn’t
ne. Emotions I hadn’t experienced before. After searching for help,
only one place had everything I needed – Hospice of Northwest Ohio
their bereavement programs. I was in groups with people who felt
I did, led by trained professionals who knew where we had been and
here we were going. I was amazed at how effective these programs are.
Jim, 2007
