Springfield High School,
Leadership Toledo Executive
Director
David
Schlaudecker and members
of the schools Students In
Action initiative presented
the school’s Youth Jefferson
Awards as part of the academic honors assembly on
April 25
Recipients of this
trimester ’s awards were
Rowan Koblansky, nominated by Julia Boehler and Hallie Craig, nominated by
Mackenzie Abel.
Other nominees were
Kayla Anderson, Julia
Boehler, Jordan Drake,
Suzette Grindle, Katie Metz,
Knox Sanders, Aaron
Siedler and Benjamin Steedman.
To qualify for the award
a student must demonstrate
four qualities; responsibility,
leadership, initiative and
community involvement.
Rowan is a volunteer
with America’s Pride, an
organization that educates
adolescents about the dangers of drug and alcohol.
She also volunteers her time
as a student director at the
high school and stage manager for community theater.
“Rowan shows a lot of
initiative in everything she
does,” wrote Julia in the
nomination letter. “When
Rowan sees something that
needs to be done, she does
not hesitate to do it.”
The second award recipient, Hallie, volunteers for
the Heidelburg Project. She
also is active in the YMCA
where she has assisted with
Christmas and Halloween
programs for children, family fun nights and community dinners.
“Hallie has a positive
affect on everyone she
meets,” wrote Mackenzie.
“She is very responsible and
once she knows what needs
to be done, she gives 110
percent.”
Leadership Toledo, an
organization with a 32-year
history in the Toledo region,
was selected in 2009 by the
national Jefferson Awards
organization to create a
local
Students
In
Action/Youth Jefferson
Awards program.
Toledo remains the only
community in Ohio to offer
the comprehensive leadership, recognition and
awards program, which
helps students build lifelong
habits around service, leadership and ethics.

Steve Gwin. Not shown is Rowan Koblansky.
“Students In Action supports student leaders at 24
area high schools to redefine the culture of their
school to one of service,”
said Mr. Schlaudecker.
“This is done by heightening peer awareness of volunteer opportunities and by
bringing attention to ordinary students involved in
extraordinary service to others.”
Leadership Toledo staff
works with student leaders,
identified by administrators,
faculty and peers, to lead
the effort.
“Too often the service
being accomplished by
youth goes unnoticed. By
bringing the Youth Jefferson
Awards to our area, Leadership Toledo has encouraged
organizations in communities like Holland/Springfield
to use the enthusiasm and
energy found in our youth to
enrich their programs, activities, and outreach effort,
Mr. Schlaudecker said.

SHS After Prom 2012 takes on ‘Vegas’ theme Picture in the Park begins
May 4 with ‘The Muppets’
On April 21, Springfield High School students celebrated After Prom 2012 at the high school. Parent volunteers spent hours transforming the building into a
nightlife hot spot in keeping with this year’s Las Vegas
theme.
Students walked down the main hall, which resembled the Vegas strip and into an elegantly decorated
restaurant. The restaurant featured a water fountain and
proved a relaxing spot for students toward evening’s
end.
After Prom activities included black jack and Texas
hold’em tables, as well as numerous activities in the
gymnasium.
Above, the main hallway’s decor included this poker
hand as well as a taxi that appeared to be cruising down
the Las Vegas strip.
At left, board member Ev Harris rehangs a portion of
the decor which had become loose prior to the beginning of After Prom.

kick off the second summer

As buildings age, repairs
become necessary and such
is the case with several of
Springfield’s schools.
At the April 25 meeting,
the board of education
awarded a contract to Nordmann Roofing for $266,810
to make repairs to the high
school, middle school, Holland Elementary and Dorr
Elementary.
To pay for the project,
money will be taken from

Seventh football division to be added for Ohio high schools
OHSAA football divisions
are comprised of an average
of 120 schools per division.
SHS Athletic Director
Robb Brown believes the
changes will not affect the
Blue Devils standing in
Division II.
The enrollment count,
taken in October, is based
on the total of ninth, 10th
and 11th grade boys.
Springfield had 433 this
school year.
The current football
divisional
enrollment
ranges are:
•Division I–494 to 1,164
•Division II–327 to 493
•Division III–243 to 326
•Division IV–172 to 242
•Division V–120 to 171
•Division VI–30 to 119.
Based on current enrollment figures, a sample of
the ranges with a seventh
division would be:
•Division I–600 to 1,164
•Division II–410 to 599
•Division III–288 to 409
•Division IV–216 to 287
•Division V–159 to 215
•Division VI–114 to 158
•Division VII–30 to 111.
However, those numbers
will change before the 2013
season.
The OHSAA examines
enrollment numbers every
two years to verify that
schools are in the correct
divisions.
The plan for adopting an
additional division came
from concerns by some
OHSAA member schools
about the disparity in Division I, where the current
range is 494 males at the
lower end of the division to
1,164 at the top.
Based on current enrollment data, the lower end of
Division I would increase
to 600 males.
“Adding a seventh division not only helps address
the enrollment disparity in
Division I, but it also will
create 32 more tournament
opportunities for studentathletes, their schools and
their communities, many of
which have never or rarely
experienced the playoffs,”
Mr. Ross said.
A separate committee,
comprised of OHSAA
Board and staff members,
school administrators and
officers of the Ohio High
School Football Coaches
Association, will be formed
to finalize the details of this
plan.
Among the details to be
determined: adjustments to
the Harbin Computer Ratings with the addition of
another division; regional
breakdowns and assignments for Division I, and
dates in which specific
divisions will play their
tournament
contests,
including logistics of an
additional state tournament

Springfield High School likely to remain Div. II
The Ohio High School
Athletic Association will
add a seventh tournament
division in football beginning in 2013, but Springfield High School is expected to remain in Division II.
OHSAA Commissioner
Daniel Ross said the added
division was approved by
the OHSAA’s board of
directors by a 6-3 vote during its April 12 meeting.
The plan will place the
top 10 percent of schools
based on enrollment in
Division I, with the remaining 644 schools divided
evenly among the next six
divisions.
This will leave 72
schools in Division I with
the other six divisions averaging 108 schools.
Each of the seven divisions will continue to qualify 32 teams to the tournament.
Currently, the six

students who attend Penta
Career Center were among
92 students who were honored on April 18 at the career
center’s annual Academic
Achievement Award Ceremony.
Awards were presented to
seniors who achieved excellence in their academic studies by maintaining a 3.25
grade point average for the
first three quarters of the
school year.
Special guest speaker at
the ceremony was Dr. Renay
Scott, vice president and
provost of Owens Community College.
During the ceremony,
award recipients received a

Approval of an “athletic
count” formula, which is
included within a competitive balance proposal that
OHSAA member school
principals will vote on during the annual referendum
process that will occur
between May 1 and 15, also
would be factored in before
placing schools into their
respective tournament divisions.
This is the first time the
OHSAA has expanded the
divisions since 1994, when
a sixth division was added.
Five years later, the number
of tournament qualifiers in
each division expanded
from 16 to 32.
When the tournament
began in 1972, there were
three football tournament
divisions, and expansion to
five divisions occurred in
1980, according to the
OHSAA.

maintenance, explained
board member Ken Musch.
Treasurer Ryan Lockwood, said different sections
of roofing will be repaired at
each school.
At the high school there
will be reseaming above the
media center and repairs
above the science section.
The roof above the middle
school art room will be
mended and at Holland, a
section above the hallway
will be fixed.
Dorr requires some
patchwork repairs, said the
treasurer, adding that each
roof repair is different due to
the different types of roofing.
“Each poses its own
challenges,” he added.
The repairs will be made
over summer and are
expected to be complete by
the start of the 2012-13
school year.

Area youths recipients of Undefeated Spirit scholarships
Through his Undefeated
Spirit Foundation, former
University of Toledo and
Canadian Football League
star Chuck Ealey gave back
to the community recently,
providing three $1,000 scholarships to area high school
seniors.
Winners were selected in
one of three categories–football, basketball and essay,
and the field of candidates
was narrowed to 10 finalists
in each category.
Football and girls basketball players were selected
based on the following criteria: an undefeated spirit,
inspiring drive and leadership with their teammates,
campus, community and or
youth; strong family values
with strong family supportencouraging and supporting
parent/family structure
behind the athlete, and strong
focus on education and community/campus involvement–good grades and
extracurricular activities.
In the essay contest, Mr.
Ealey presented a scholarship to the high school senior
whose story best represented
the “Undefeated Spirit.”
The 500-word essay contest was open to students
throughout the area, and 51
seniors from 17-area high
schools submitted entries.
This year’s winners were
Jarrod Jefferson, football, St.
Francis de Sales; Melissa
Green, basketball, Toledo
Christian High School, and
Alberto Serrano, essay,
Maumee High School.
Local finalists were Nate
Pearson of St. John’s Jesuit
High School, football and
Brianna Mullinger of Springfield Schools who submitted
an entry for the essay contest.
“In Nate, Titan Coach
Doug Pearson had a talented
three-sport athlete with a
strong commitment to his
school and to serving the
community,” said Mr. Ealey.
“As a center, he used both
his intelligence and size to
make a difference for the
Titans. Nate is a special kind
of leader with a strong spirit
to help others.”
Regarding the essay contest, he said, “I felt it was
important to honor the undefeated spirits of high school
students who made their
mark outside of the sporting
arena.”
He spoke about Brianna’s
entry, in which the student
writer discussed the decision
she and her friend Cody
Brown made in December to
“beat” the train, which they
thought was a slow moving
freight train.
The train proved to be an
80 mile per hour Amtrak, the
impact of which left Cody
dead and broke every bone
below Brianna’s neck and
resulted in the loss of her left
leg.
Mr. Ealey read a portion
of her essay in which Brianna wrote, “I have owned up
to the choice I made and
keep a positive attitude
because I know that Cody
would not want me to think
of this ordeal in any other
way.
“There are many days I
want to give up but then I
think about how many people’s lives I changed as well
as the ones I have yet to
change.”
Brianna Mullinger of Springfield Schools, above, with
Chuck Ealey, left, and Leadership Toledo Executive
Director David Schlaudecker, was among the finalists in
the Undefeated Spirit essay contest.

Dear Editor:
In honor of National Foster Care Awareness Month in
May, REM Ohio Inc. would
like to take this opportunity
to increase awareness in our
local communities. There are
not only children in need of
exceptional foster homes but
adults with intellectual and
developmental disabilities
(IDD) as well.
Across the nation, there
are more than 100,000 adults
with IDD who are waiting for
access to community-based
services. For some of these
adults, their hope is for a stable, nurturing home environment, and quality care to
meet their needs.
To provide more options
for adults with IDD, REM

with dedicated caregivers in
the community, whom we
fondly refer to as mentors.
Our mentors open their personal homes and their hearts
to provide assistance and

and meaningful relationships.
For the individuals residing with mentors, they often
achieve what they need
most–a connection to a family, a local community, and the
services they need to live
with independence. Mentors
and their extended families
gain a new family member, a
friend, and someone whose
personal gifts and charm can
add a whole new dimension
to their family lives.

‘Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’ May 12 at Levis Commons
Sixth annual Northwest Ohio

The Town Center at Levis Commons
meeting the needs of those
affected by the disease.
A long-time ACS volunteer and advocate, Kathy
Smith, was diagnosed with
breast cancer in 2004. She
said that seeing thousands of
people at the Making Strides
walk is an enormous motivation.
“The walk and the community support shows that a
lot of people are behind the
cause,” she said. “That’s how
we get things done in America, the grassroots efforts.
Everyone can make a difference just by participating.”
The American Cancer
Society is on the front lines
of the fight against the disease.
“Our organization has
been a part of almost every
major breakthrough in terms
of breast cancer,” said Sara
Foos, ACS regional income
development
director.
“Mammography and Tamoxifin are prime examples
of the progress that has been
made in the fight against
breast cancer, and the ACS
has been a critical player in
both of those advances.”
Sponsors of the northwest Ohio event include the
University of Toledo Medical Center, Savage & Associates, First Federal Bank,
First Solar, Northwest Ohio
Chevy Dealers, Thompson
Williams Group at Merrill
Lynch, Town Center at Levis
Commons, 13 ABC, 101.5
the River and 92.5 Kiss FM.
For additional information, to register for the walk
or make a donation, visit the
Web site cancer.org/strides
online or contact ACS at 1800-227-2345.
The American Cancer
Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly
a century of experience to
save lives and end suffering
from cancer.
As a global grassroots
force of more than three million volunteers, ACS fights
for every birthday threatened by every cancer in
every community.
ACS saves lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting
it early; helping people get
well by being there for them
during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures
through investment in
groundbreaking discovery;
and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass
laws to defeat cancer and by
rallying communities worldwide to join the fight.
As the nation’s largest
non-governmental investor
in cancer research, contributing more than $3.4 billion, ACS turns what they
know about cancer into what
they do.
As a result, more than 11
million people in America,
who have had cancer and
countless more who have
avoided it, will be celebrating birthdays this year.
The Northwest Ohio
Area American Cancer Society office is located at 740

Card of Thanks
As you know, many families’ lives were changed with
the fire at the Hidden Cedars complex on March 23, 2012.
Immediately our community offered support for the victims
of the fire. School counselors worked tirelessly along with
local churches, agencies, police and fire departments, area
schools and countless community members to meet the
needs of these families.
Timberlake Church volunteered to coordinate donation
items and distribution to those in need. Many volunteers
worked unloading and sorting the donated items for easy access to those who were in need. Food, clothing, personal
items, school supplies, backpacks and many more wonderful donations provided much needed relief for these families. The kindness and smiles shared with those needing the
items made all the difference at this very difficult time. For
those of us who had the honor to see the overwhelming generosity that resulted in countless donated items, to view the
hard work and kindness of the many volunteers that lent a
hand, to the smiles and words of appreciation from those
who received the items…the experience touched our hearts.
Thank you to our community and beyond who stepped
up, pitched in, gave generously and made a difficult situation
better.

An estimated 6,000
northwest Ohio residents
will join together at the
Town Center at Levis Commons on Saturday, May 12,
for the annual American
Cancer Society’s (ACS)
“Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer” event.
The non-competitive 5K
walk unites the community
in an effort to celebrate
breast cancer survivors, educate people about how to
reduce their breast cancer
risk and raise funds for research and treatment.
Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer has raised
more than $400 million nationally with 165 walks held
across the country.
This year marks the sixth
annual Strides event in
northwest Ohio which has
raised more than $500,000
since its inaugural year.
The goal for 2012 is to
raise $135,000 to support
the ACS mission to save
lives by helping people stay
well and get well, finding
cures and fighting back
against breast cancer.
More than 230,000
women were diagnosed with
breast cancer in the United
States in 2011. While the
for-profit sector saw declining demand for products and
services over the past few
years, the opposite is true for
organizations like the American Cancer Society who
have seen demand for their
patient services increase during the economic downturn.
Funds raised by events like

Operation D.A.R.E.
Drug Abuse Resistance
Education (D.A.R.E.) is in
operation at Holloway Elementary School and in our
other Springfield elementary
schools too. Deputy Sheriff
Brett Warner is the Lucas
County Sheriff’s D.A.R.E.
officer who visits weekly
with our fifth grade students
to present and discuss the
D.A.R.E. curriculum.
Students in Mrs. Amstel’s, Mrs. Rowe’s and Mr.
Swavel’s, classes participated in this nine unit program at Holloway to help
increase their understanding
of the problems associated
with drug abuse and to practice making good decisions.
A series of “what should
you do” and “what do you
think” questions are posed on
each of the many topics, and
discussions are held under
the supervision of Deputy
Warner and the classroom
teacher.

in the program and receives
a student workbook filled
with scenarios and facts regarding drug abuse. At the
conclusion of the program,
students write essays reflecting on the program and the
discussions.
The overall focus is to
help each student recognize
and resist the pressures that
may influence his or her decision to experiment with
drugs.
A daytime graduation
program will be held on May
22, at the high school auditorium. A representative from
Holloway will be chosen to
read his or her winning
D.A.R.E. essay at the graduation program.

‘Muscles for Melissa’ run/walk set
“Muscles for Melissa,” a
5k run/walk or kids one-mile
run fund-raiser will be held
Saturday, May 5. The event is
being held to assist Melissa
Belcher with support for her
fight against Lou Gehrig’s
Disease (ALS). The run will
be held at Northview High
School, 5403 Silica Drive,
Sylvania.
Ms. Belcher is a math
teacher at Northview High
School and a girls volleyball
coach at Central Catholic
High School. She learned that
she suffers from ALS in late
2010 and has struggled to
continue teaching.
ALS is a neuron disease
that affects the brain, spinal
cord and muscle movement.
There currently is no cure for
this debilitating disease.
Registration will begin at
8 a.m., with a warm up at
9:30 a.m., and the race to follow at 10 a.m. There will be
a “senior” group exercise at
10 a.m. in the Northview
gymnasium for those not taking part in the run. There also
will be prizes and raffles.
The cost for the run is $20
per person and $10 for children age 10 and younger. All
proceeds will go to Ms.
Belcher and her family to
help assist with the medical
bills and help her two sons
Grant and Aiden, with their
education.
Donations also can be
made at any Huntington Bank
location. For more information, call Barb Meyers at 419356-1148 or send an e-mail to

Food banks benefit from donations by hunters
Ohio deer hunters donated
more than 104,400 pounds of
venison to local food banks
through the 2011-12 deer
hunting season, according to
Farmers and Hunters Feeding
the Hungry (FHFH) and the
Ohio Department of Natural
Resources’ (ODNR) Division
of Wildlife.
The venison donation
equals approximately 417,600
meals for Ohioans in need. A
total of 2,088 deer were donated during this season compared to 2,503 last year, 2,336
in 2009-10, 1,096 in 2008-09,
and 418 in 2007-08.
Last year 219,698 deer
were killed during Ohio's
2011-12 hunting season, compared to 239,379 in the 201011 hunting season.
The Division of Wildlife
has collaborated with FHFH
for the last four years in an effort to assist with the processing costs associated with
donating venison to a food
bank. A subsidy grant was
provided in allotments that are
matched with funds generated
or collected by local Ohio
FHFH chapters.

Venison that is donated to
food banks must be processed
by a federal, state or locally
inspected and insured meat
processor that is participating
with FHFH. Hunters wishing
to donate their deer to a food
bank are not required to pay
for the processing of the venison as long as the program
has funds available to cover
the cost. There are currently
77 participating meat processors across the state.

TMA acquires seven glass objects made High school, middle school musicians receive
during historical 1962 glass workshops high marks at OMEA solo and ensemble contests
The seven greenish-blue
glass vessels recently acquired by the Toledo Museum
of Art look more like the
products of a first time glass
blower than masterworks destined for one of the world’s
greatest glass collections.
But in fact, they are the work
of two first-time glass blowers who happened to be in attendance at the famed March
1962 Toledo Workshop. That
workshop, and one that followed in June of that year, are
widely credited with launching the American Studio
Glass Movement.
Ceramicists
Tom
McGlauchlin and Edith
Franklin both attended the inaugural workshop hosted by
the Toledo Museum of Art
and led by Harvey Littleton.
The two vessels donated by
Pat McGlauchlin, wife of the
late Tom McGlauchlin, and
the five donated by Toledoan
Edith Franklin are among the
very few surviving works
from the group’s experiments
in glass. The only other object
from the first workshop in a
public collection is a single
example of Mr. Littleton’s
work at the Corning Museum
of Glass in New York. Most
of the vessels from the workshops did not survive because
of inadequate annealing
(cooling) equipment.
“Considering the historical importance of the Toledo
Workshops, these pieces are
rare relics of the humble beginnings from which the international Studio Glass
Movement developed,” said
Brian Kennedy, director,
Toledo Museum of Art.
“Toledo is pleased to have
these historical objects take
their place in our fine glass
collection.”
In 1962, recent University
of Michigan graduate Edith
Franklin had a front row seat
to history being made. One
of only seven students to register for the glass workshop
held in a garage space on the
museum’s campus from
March 23 to April 1, Ms.
Franklin had no prior glass
experience. Although she
went back to ceramics as her
medium of choice for the rest
of her career, the work she
produced was strikingly similar to that of Mr. Littleton
and Mr. McGlauchlin, who
went on to have distinguished
careers in glass.
Wisconsin native Tom
McGlauchlin also began his
art career working in ceramics. He taught Harvey Littleton’s classes at the University
of Wisconsin while his friend
and mentor took a sabbatical
to study the properties of
glass in 1960–61.
Mr.
McGlauchlin’s artistic life
changed when he took the
two glass workshops taught
by Mr. Littleton in Toledo in
1962. He went on to teach the
second-ever glass blowing
class to be part of the curriculum at an American university at the University of Iowa
in 1964 (He taught the first at
the University of Wisconsin).
Mr. McGlauchlin relocated to Toledo in 1971 and
dedicated the next 13 years to
teaching glass as part of a
joint program between the
Toledo Museum of Art and
the University of Toledo.
When he left the program in
1984, he devoted himself to
making art full time. From
1978 until his death in 2011
he worked on a series of glass
sculptures exploring abstract
qualities of the human face.
His work is in permanent collections in museums such as
the Smithsonian Institute, the
Portland Art Museum in Oregon, the Kunstmuseum in
Düsseldorf, Germany, the
Corning Glass Museum and
the National Museum of
Modern Art in Tokyo.
These surviving vessels
from the first workshop will
be on display during Color
Ignited: Glass 1962–2012, a
major exhibition that explores
the pivotal role of color in
glass, from the first green
tinted marble batch to Dominick Labino’s technical experimentation with color to
the contemporary use (or absence) of color to make an
artistic statement.
The exhibition highlights
artists who have worked in
glass since this time period,
including Harvey Littleton,
Dominick Labino, Dale Chihuly, Dan Dailey, Laura de
Santillana, Marvin Lipofsky,
Heinz Mack, Klaus Moje,
Yoichi Ohira, Ginny Ruffner,
and Judith Schaechter.
The show opens June 13,
in the Museum’s Wolfe
Gallery for Contemporary Art
and runs through September
9.

Owens Community College holding denim collection drive
Owens Community College’s Environmental Club is
encouraging area residents to
bring their used denim jeans,
jackets and purses of any particular color to the Toledo-area
and Findlay-area campuses in
support of environmental
awareness as the student group
hosts its third annual “Recycle
Your Denim” Collection
Drive, April 26 through May 6.
The denim collection drive
initiative is part of a nationwide effort with the “Cotton.
From Blue to Green” environmental program. Founded in
2006, the denim program gives
“new life” to used items by
converting them to UltraTouch
National Cotton Fiber Insulation. The insulation is then provided to communities in need
to assist with building efforts.
UltraTouch is composed of
85 percent recycled cotton
fibers and is an environmentally safe, non-itch insulation
without carcinogenic warnings, formaldehyde or chemi-
cal irritants.
Since the start of the denim
drive in 2006, the program has
received more than 500,000
pieces of denim and provided
enough UltraTouch National
Cotton Fiber Insulation for approximately 1.5 million square
feet of insulation to assist with
building efforts for communities in need.
At the collection drive’s
conclusion, all denim materials will be presented to Eisenhower Middle School sixth
grader Erek Hansen of Curtice
to assist in his personal goal of
collecting more than 5,000
items for the program. Last
year, the 11-year-old collected
3,920 denim items.
Area residents can drop off
their denim items on the
Toledo-area campus at the Student Health and Activities
Center and the College Hall
Bookstore.
For more information
about the drive or to donate,
call 567-661-7583.

PET OF THE WEEK
SYDNEY
Sydney is a 2-year-old
female dilute calico short
hair. A humane agent
brought her to the Toledo
Area Humane Society after
her owner was hospitalized
and couldn’t care for her
cats.
Sydney is a shy and independent cat who prefers
a calmer and quieter environment. She enjoys being
petted and is content to curl up next to you on the couch or
lounge in the windowsill soaking up some sun.
When she first arrived at TAHS she was missing patches
of hair as a result of neglect. Under the watchful care of the
shelter staff, her coat is now soft and beautiful and Sydney
has put on some weight. Since Sydney tends to keep to herself, she has been overlooked in the rooms with the other
more outgoing cats.
Sydney has been spayed, examined by a TAHS staff veterinarian, is current on her vaccinations, and is microchipped.
For more information, visit the Toledo Area Humane Society,

Ohio Scenic Rivers Program
announces workshop schedule
The Ohio Scenic Rivers
Program invites outdoor enthusiasts, families and educators to spend an hour or so on
the Maumee or Sandusky
State Scenic Rivers to learn
about the Stream Quality
Monitoring (SQM) volunteer
program.
Besides spending time
getting their feet wet wading
in streams, volunteers will
help assess the health of our
state scenic rivers.
Small aquatic organisms
(macroinvertebrates) are collected from a stream and surveyed to determine which
types are present and how frequently they occur. The organisms are returned to the
water while the data are used
to determine the health of that
portion of the stream.
At the SQM workshops,
volunteers learn to check for
changes in water quality and
aquatic habitat.
The workshops are scheduled for the following dates:
•Saturday, June 23, from
10:30 to 11:30 a.m., Indian
Mill.
•Saturday, June 23, from 1
to 2:30 p.m., Wolf Creek.
•Saturday, July 14, from
10 to 11:30 a.m., at
Farnsworth Metropark.
•Saturday, August 18,
from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., at
Indian Mill.
•Saturday, August 18, from
1 to 2:30 p.m., at Wolf Creek.
•Saturday, October 13,

Toledo Astronomical Association
to present lecture at UT on May 4
The Toledo Astronomical
Association will present a
lecture by David Corliss entitled “The Transit of Venus,
The Historical and Astronomical Significance” on Friday, May 4. The program will
begin at 7:30 p.m., in the
fourth floor classroom of McMaster Hall on the University
of Toledo Main Campus.
The transit of Venus is an
event where Venus appears to
cross the face of the sun. One
will occur on June 4. The
next Transit of Venus will
occur in 2117.
Historically, observations
taken during the transit have
been employed to determine
the size of the Sun and Venus
and Earth’s distance from the
Sun. The Transit is literally a
once-in-a-lifetime event.
Mr. Corliss will discuss
the history of observing the
transit, the physics that make
the event so rare and some of
the astronomical data that has
been gained from past Transits.
Mr. Corliss is a Ph.D. can-
didate in physics and astronomy at the University of
Toledo, where he serves as an
instructor in astronomy. He
holds a bachelor’s degree
from Eastern Michigan and a
master’s degree from Wayne
State University, where he
also served as an instructor in
physics.
The presentation is free
and open to the public.
The Toledo Astronomical
Association is a group of amateurs interested in all facets
of astronomy. The association maintains telescopes at
Pioneer Scout Reservation
and portable telescopes in the
greater Toledo area.
The association presents
star parties and other viewing
activities for its members,
groups, organizations and the
general public, as well as a
monthly series of speakers
addressing astronomical topics.

Springfield Schools hold kindergarten open house
Holland Elementary recently hosted a kindergarten
visit and open house. More than 50 families and their future kindergarteners enjoyed a visit to the school, a
chance to meet the teachers, and an opportunity to discuss how the parents can help prepare their students
pfor the start of school in late August.
Mrs. Borth, Mrs. Hasemeyer, Mrs. Weidman, and Mrs.
Estok had time to discuss the major areas that all students should be prepared for before they enter in the
fall.
Parents received information packets on the skills
their students need to be able to do and a fun filled calendar that gives them day-to-day ideas they can do over
the summer months to ready their children for school.
Students and their families toured the building and
spent time in the various kindergarten rooms.
Children who will be 5 years old by August 1, are eligible to register for kindergarten at Springfield Schools.
Registration packets and information are available at the
Board Office, 6900 Hall Street, Holland. Appointments
are available for registration days on May 10 and 11, at
the Lodge at Strawberry Acres.
To schedule an appointment, call 419-867-5600.
Pictured at right at the open house are the Lammers
family with future kindergartener Lauren.
Below, at the open house at Crissey School are Carson Bruning and his parents, Jen and Craig, with
Crissey Principal Steven Lee.

Motorcyclist fatalities increased slightly in 2010 to
4,502, accounting for 14 percent of total fatalities for the
year. This increase in motorcycle fatalities for the year resumes the unfortunate overall
increasing trend over the last
13 years, an upward trend that
saw only a single one-year
decline in 2009, when 4,462
motorcyclists were killed.
However, the greatest decrease in the estimated number of injured people is
among motorcyclists, with an
8.9-percent decrease.
In response to this increase, the Lucas County
Traffic Safety Program announced that it is joining with
other federal, state and local
highway safety, law enforcement, and motorcycle organizations in proclaiming May
as
“Motorcycle
Safety
Awareness Month.” During
this time –and during the rest
of the year–motorists and
other road users are reminded
to safely “share the road”
with motorcycles, and to be
extra alert to help keep motorcyclists safe. Changing the
driving habits of motorists
and motorcyclists alike will
help decrease the numbers of
motorcyclist killed and injured in crashes. Motorcyclists are reminded to make
sure that they are visible to
motorists, and that they follow the rules of the road.

northwest Ohio, and the motorcycles were on the roads

mally see them,” said Gwen
Neundorfer, program coordinator. “A motorcycle is one of
the smallest vehicles on our
roads, often hidden in a car or
truck’s blind spot. Every
driver needs to aggressively
look for them before changing lanes or merging with
traffic. Motorcyclists have
responsibilities, too. They
should obey traffic rules, be
alert to other drivers, never
ride while impaired or distracted, and always wear a
Department of Transportation-compliant helmet and
other protective gear.”
Motorcycle fatalities in
Lucas County reached an all
time low in 2011 with only
two motorcycle fatalities. In
2010, there were eight motorcyclists killed in fatal crashes.
Only one of the 10 motorcyclists that died was wearing a
helmet at the time of the accident.
A motorcyclist is much
more vulnerable than a passenger vehicle occupant in
the event of a crash. Research
from DOT’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that per vehicle
mile traveled, motorcyclists
are about 39 times more
likely than passenger car occupants to die in traffic
crashes.
“Our message to all drivers and motorcyclists is: Help
to share in the responsibility
of keeping all road users safe,
and do your part by safely
‘sharing the road,’” said Ms.
Neundorfer.
