4th of July Event Guide, flag pullout – B1-4

The Sylvania City Coun-

cil held their regular meet-ing on Monday, June 20. And out of the many items discussed that night, one of the first was the formal in-troduction of Kevin Aller, the new public service di-rector for Sylvania. The cur-rent service director, Jeffery Ballmer, will be retiring at the end of the month.

“We’re pleased to have you here,” mayor Craig Stough said to Aller. “We also hope you’re taking care of any loose ends at the County Sanitary Engineer’s office.”

“We’re working dili-gently,” Aller said, “as I’m sure Jeff is in his office.”

“Jeff is really in a flur-ry of activity right now,” Stough said, to which many in attendance laughed.

So how does Aller feel about coming to Sylvania?

“I’m looking forward to it,” he said. He also added that with Ballmer leaving, he had “some big shoes to fill.”

“I appreciate the oppor-tunity and look forward to a long relationship with Syl-vania. I can’t wait to start.”

After Aller’s introduc-tion, council president Todd Milner reported on a committee-of-the-whole meeting that took place just before the city coun-cil meeting that night. The focus of the committee-of-the-whole meeting was a

presentation by fire chief Jeff Kowalski about where Fire House Number One could be placed in the com-munity.

“76 Erie Street is the chief’s preference for a new station,” Milner said. “The question came up about north and south access, and he assured us that there would be no cut-throughs through Grove Bell farms, but rather Centennial and Main streets would be the preferred routes.”

Milner added later that there will have to be a pub-lic meeting to discuss the proposed location of the new fire house. That meet-ing, he said, would more than likely take place some-time next month.

After this, however, Ste-ven Richard, a resident on Main Street and a former firefighter, said that he had concerns about the proposed placement of the new fire house. Richard stated that considering he lived near the train tracks, he had seen, recently, a train hauling 75 cars which blocked off Erie, Main, and other streets for, as he estimated, “at least 15 to 20 minutes.”

“The town gets cut in half when a train like that goes through,” he said, add-ing that there should be two fire stations on one side of the tracks and two on the other for access and safety reasons. He also asked the city council to take these concerns and thoughts into consideration before decid-ing on the placement of the new station.

Ballmer also reported on

School students left on Friday, June 10, and teachers shortly after so work could begin on the demolition of the building. The school served Sylvania students for 80 years. Demolition on the building was June 20. The demolition was anticipated to be completed within 12 hours and was be cleared to make way for the final entryway and parking for the new Maplewood Elementary School built onsite behind the former school.

Maplewood opened its

doors to staff and students in 1929. Additions were added in 1937, 1939, a portable classroom in 1948 and a last addition was built in 1956. Maplewood was one of the three elementary schools opened in the 1920s that was slated for replacement under the 2008 bond issue. Hill View Elementary was rebuilt and opened to students in 2010 and land was recently secured for the new Central Elementary on Mitchaw Road.

The new school will open to staff and students

formally when school begins on Aug. 31. A community open house for neighbors and residents of

the Sylvania community will be scheduled in early fall. A date will be announced later this summer.

They say that life in the theater takes its participants to all kinds of wonderful places. That will be the case this fall when a troupe from Ohio Northern University performs at a large performance venue in Manchester, England. One of those seven ONU students is Hayley Reynolds, a Sylvania resident and 2010 graduate of Notre Dame Academy, and a veteran performer in local theatre.

Miss Reynolds explains that she and her theatre department colleagues auditioned for parts in a 2-hour show that will feature selections from popular musicals such as Wicked, Grease, and Les Miserables, among others. “Ohio Northern University’s fall musical is The 25th Annual Spelling Bee,” she notes. “It is about quirky teen-aged children all competing

to be the champion of the bee. My character, Logan Schwartzandgrunenierre, is the youngest, yet most politically aware speller, and she speaks with a lisp….When we were audition for Spelling Bee, we were also auditioning to go to England with the theatre department. Seven students, four girls and three boys, will be flown over to perform in Manchester with students at a university.”

To prepare for the trip, the students were asked to start thinking of solos and duets that would

Like many teens his age, Riley Savage pays attention to other people’s tennis shoes. But he isn’t waiting in line for the newest basketball shoes, or paying a fortune to get shoes like everyone else’s.

Instead, he decorates tennis shoes, and has found enough interest in his one-of-a-kind shoes to start his own business. The company, Planted Footwear is giving him a unique way to build on the art skills he has developed since he was a youngster.

Savage explains that his love for art started at a very early age. “My mother claims to remember me drawing lions and birds at the age of two,” he says, and admits, “Art has always been my passion and my inspiration for many things

in my life.” He began taking lessons at “For the Love of Art” in the third grade, and continued there until the eighth grade. As a student at St. John’s High School, he has studied art for three years, and recently completed an Advanced Placement Art course there.

The idea for business came to him when one of his friends brought a new pair of tennis shoes. He explains, “My friend wanted to do something cool with some new shoes, but he didn’t have much of an idea of

numerous projects slated to take place throughout Sylvania in the coming months. Ballmer recom-mended the council take JJR’s proposal for construction admin-istration and drawings for the River Trail improvements. The proposal is for $53,600.

Stough added that the city would have to move forward with this construction project by the end of the year considering that a good portion of the funding for the project comes in the form of special grants. If construction isn’t started by the end of the year, the city would lose those grants.

“We need to be under con-struction this year, even if it gets late,” Stough said.

A motion was made on this is-sue and approved unanimously.

The council also approved, later, a storm sewer repair project near Dave White Chevrolet, which would improve the current storm drains. The project will be given to Anderzack-Pitzen and their proposed offer of $24,034.52. Main Street improvements will also be handled by Mannick and Smith Group in the amount of $68,840.

Council(Continued from Page 1)

what he wanted. He wanted them designed so that he could wear them on stage with his local band The Rooftops, and he wanted something nature-themed. He knows that I like art, and asked if I could draw on them or paint on them. I drew a different tree on each shoe—a willow tree on one to symbolize emotion and an acacia tree representing friendship. This is where the name of the company came from.”

Those shoes drew interest from others, and Savage found that he was being called on to design more and more shoes. He did a few pairs for free, then followed friends’ advice to charge for the service. Customers send him their white shoes, and Savage asks questions about the kind of artwork they want. He notes, “My

ideas are usually created between conversation with the customer, and personal creativity and thought process. Through questioning and getting to know the customer, i can greater decide what will please the customer.”

Once he is certain he knows what the customer wants, he paints the shoes. Decorating the shoes can take from an hour to

several hours, depending on the complexity of the design. He uses fabric markers, treats the finished shoes by putting them through the dryer, and tells his customers not to scrub the shoes or submerge the entire shoe in water. The normal cost is $25, with smaller children’s shoes costing $5 less, and high top shoes costing $5 more.

A check of the photos on Planted Footwear’s Facebook page shows a variety of designs, including ladybugs, flowers, suns, trees. He prefers to do art with

actual subject matter, rather than pure design, but he is willing to do whatever the customer requests. The business is relatively new, but he is open to any design a customer wants, and would be interested in designing shoes for any group, team, or club.

Savage will be a senior at St. John’s High School this fall, and he will continue to paint shoes. He hopes the business will be successful, since it provides gas money and college funds as well as a creative outlet. But, he doesn’t want the business

to grow too big to the point of mass production where he won’t get to personalize the designs. He is pleased that his friends are supportive of his work, and happy to show off his designs to their friends, all potential customers. “I don’t have to say much about my shoes. People hear from my friends and they call me!”

Savage can be reached at [email protected], or by phone at 419 882-1099. Pictures of his photos can be seen on Facebook at Planted Footwear.

showcase their voices and personalities. Reynolds had plenty of experience to choose from; she has been involved in theatre since she was eight years old. She has performed in over 50 shows with Orphan Productions, Inc., Theatre Kids, Inc., the Toledo Repertoire Theatre, The Crosswell Opera House, Northview High School, and St. John’s Jesuit High School. She appeared in several shows at Notre Dame Academy, including the role of Millie in Thoroughly Modern Millie, and the role of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.

At Ohio Northern, where she is majoring in Musical Theatre and Organizational Communications, she is taking general education courses as well as performance classes such as dance and acting. She takes individual voice lessons, and is required to serve as an assistant manager for a show, since knowing all aspects of theatre is important to be a well-trained performer.

In fall, 2010, she was cast in Ohio Northern’s 9th Annual International Play Festival, which consisted of two one-act themed plays each year. The university brings in three New York-based actors to perform alongside the college students, a move that helps the students network and gives them exposure.

Reynolds is spending her pre-England summer as an intern with the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera. She is working in their education and outreach department in what they call their Academy. She will be assisting with four children’s musicals and with office work and promotion, and will certainly enjoy using tickets to the CLO’s main stage productions.

“I was never very good at sports,” she notes, “and I loved to sing, so I gravitated toward theatre….Performing really has taught me how to work with a team, to be flexible, and to manage my time well. Performing has always been a creative outlet for me and I love taking myself and the audience away from reality for a few hours.” This summer, it seems, performing will take her on the trip of a lifetime!

Two Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania were recently honored for their ministry in the Diocese of Toledo. Sister Ann Francis Klimkowski received a Centenary Award in recognition for her exemplary work as president of Lourdes College from 1983 to 2000. Sister Mary Thill received the Benemerenti Medal for her 10 years of service on the Board for Mareda Inc., a low income housing corporation run by the diocese. Both Sisters received their accolades on June 12 in a ceremony conducted by Bishop Leonard Blair at Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral in downtown Toledo.

“As a community of faith it is important that we find ways of saying thank you to one another,” said Bishop Blair. “It is impossible to thank everyone, but it is possible to identify religious, deacons, lay individuals and couples who exemplify Christian service, and to express our gratitude.”

Since its founding in 1958, the enrollment at Lourdes College has steadily grown. When Sister Ann Francis was president, there were 1,600 students and today the college has more than 2,600 students and offers more than 30 undergraduate and graduate programs. Lourdes College is a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania.

“To know my congregation would consider me for this award is very humbling,” said Sister Ann Francis. “The award, in my opinion, is not only for me, but for great people we attracted to work at the college who embraced the mission and values that we were attempting to live out at the institution.”

At Bishop Blair’s request, Pope Benedict XVI conferred the papal Benemerenti Medal on Sister Mary for the

outstanding contributions she has made to the wider Catholic community at the diocesan level. When Sister Mary first joined the Board of Directors for Mareda, the organization was having difficulty filling its housing units. Through her involvement, it is now thriving with a strong reputation for affordable housing for the disabled and mentally challenged in the Diocese of Toledo and often has a waiting list.

“At the time I joined Mareda, Madonna Home was half empty,” said Sister Mary. “It took about three or four years of planning but together with the board and the employees at Madonna Home we have turned things around. The organization is now financially stronger and the board is truly attuned to the social ministry of the Church.”

“Both Sister Ann Francis and Sister Mary Thill are exceptional women of faith and have many talents,” said

Sister Diana Lynn Eckel, Congregational Minister for the Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania. “They have used their talents in ministries that exemplify what the Franciscan Sisters stand for, and we are proud to call them ‘Sister.’”

Founded in Sylvania, Ohio in 1916, the Sisters of St. Francis live in the spirit of Francis of Assisi as joyful servants and messengers of peace, committed to works that give reverence to human dignity, embrace the poor and marginalized, and respect the gift of all creation. Sponsored ministries of the Sisters of St. Francis include Lourdes College and the Franciscan Theater and Conference Center, Franciscan Services Corporation health and human services organizations in Ohio, Kentucky and Texas, and the Sylvania Franciscan Academy.

Lourdes College’s Appold Planetarium will celebrate its 5-Year Anniversary June 29

The staff of Lourdes College’s Appold Planetarium is planning a 5-Year Anniversary event from 5:30 p.m. - 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 29, in the Mother Adelaide Hall at the Planetarium on the campus of Lourdes College.

Lourdes’ foundress Mother Adelaide Sandusky had a great love of astronomy and in 1968 opened one of Ohio’s first planetariums. Named in honor of Renaissance astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, Lourdes’ Copernicus Planetarium delighted audiences for more than 30 years.

In 2006, Lourdes reopened the planetarium, naming it the Appold Planetarium in honor of its generous benefactors Jim and Patricia Appold. The Appold’s support gave Lourdes the ability to make the planetarium better than ever. The College refurbished the interior and upgraded its software to SciDome - the world’s most comprehensive astronomy software allowing shows to be presented in full color, real-time, 3D sky simulation.

Today, Lourdes’ Appold Planetarium has grown to become one of the most beloved planetariums in the Midwest, with shows that are routinely sold out. For its excellence and popularity, Ohio Magazine named the Appold Planetarium “Best Place to See the Stars.”

On June 29, the community will gather to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the re-opening of Lourdes’ Planetarium in a special invitation-only event, followed by a planetarium show designed specifically for the celebration by Laura Megeath, Planetarium Coordinator.

The animals were dressed in their finery and ready to put on a good show as 1700 guests arrived for the 24th annual ZOOtoDO, title sponsored by Corner Dental and presenting sponsor PNC Bank. This annual event raises funds to insure that the Toledo Zoo maintains its position not only as a regional treasure but also a national gem. One hundred percent of the net proceeds go back to the Zoo for animal management and conservation, educational and scientific programs.

Women arrived in their themed ensembles with fun tennis shoes and men wore their finest tuxedo jackets with shorts and comfortable shoes. They were greeted by Chairman Peter and Amanda Boyer with a glass of champagne. Over fifty restaurants prepared fabulous fare and you could sample your way from the preview party in Africa! to the historic side of the Zoo. Preview entertainment was handled by the Kelly Broadway Jazz Duo.

From Face of Fox to Gifted ArtistYou might know Julia Johnston as

the former Face of Fox as she was their girl about town for two years. She was a part of the community and involved in many charities, events and projects. But her real love is art and her talents were put to use for the Chamber of Commerce two years ago when she submitted a design for Sylvania Vet’s bench through the Sitting Pretty in Sylvania bench project.

Her bench won accolades so this year she took on the daunting task of painting seven pots for Sylvania’s Potting Pretty project. All of the pots were amazing and each one had a unique flair with distinctive designs that sponsors loved. Whether it was a contemporary look or a whimsical wildflower scene each pot became a work of art that will grace homes and businesses for years to come.

While Julia loved being the Face of Fox her talent for art is exceptional and she is concentrating on putting her mark on homes and local business offices. She has designed fabulous murals for basements, foyers and bedrooms. Her sports themes come alive in man caves and her soft strokes make a nursery come alive with delightful fairy tales.

Julia is the mother of nine month old Peyton and hopes that her daughter will develop the same love of art. Potting Pretty has truly made artist Julia Johnston Sylvania’s artist in residence.

Pictured are Scott and Julie Kalniz, Amy and Alap Choksey and Krista and Michael Schwartz from Corner Dental. They were all enjoying the preview party at the ZOOtoDO.

‘A Night to Remember’ is exciting event Inner Views with Kimmie Rose Zapf

I was thinking recently about what will happen when today’s 20-somethings reach their old age. I polled some recent Southview alumni for their thoughts on the subject.

They’ll have wrinkles in their tattoos, and their body piercings will be droopy. Yet they’ll put a positive spin on their situation, calling 80 the new 50. Medical technology will probably declare them middle-aged. Yet they’ll all have arthritic thumbs from a lifetime of texting and video games.

Then again, there might be 100% obesity. But authorities will change the definition of ‘obese’ so Generation Xers don’t feel bad about themselves. Positive self-image clings for a lifetime.

Snail mail won’t even exist, and nobody will miss it. Young people won’t know what a wire is. There will be no domain names left, so dot com will become dot kom. Cameras will be embedded in everyone’s heads. Yet it will be trendy and retro to pick up quaint things called magazines and newspapers. There won’t be D or C batteries any more, as all devices will be streamlined and too small for them.

Social interaction will rarely take place in the same room. Tomorrow’s octogenarians will still call each other ‘dude’, but only because they can’t remember each other’s names.

With no more fish in the ocean, they’ll be eating oil patties. Sushi will be replaced with Swedish Fish. At restaurants, there will be 18 different colors of sugar packets on the table, none containing sugar. The new version of the old expression will be “Yeah, that and a hundred dollars will buy you a cup of coffee.”

Children won’t know what a classroom is, as all education will be video and electronic. Ritalin will be dispensed in vending machines.

In sixty years when today’s twenty year olds turn eighty, the federal deficit will probably be so huge, we’ll stop keeping track. Payment will all be electronic. Instead of dollars, they’ll use Oprahs.

All vehicles will have huge flashy wheel rims, but they’ll fly through the air. They’ll all have to pee in a cup before boarding an airplane, playing baseball, or starting a new job.

As for entertainment, the old folks will only use computers. But someone will discover an old board game in an attic, and it will become trendy to shake dice and move game pieces around. Dancing With The Stars will celebrate their centennial season and

still be hosted by Tom Bergeron, but it will take place in space. The Beatles will still be the best band ever. But I don’t even want to think about what

music will be played on the oldies radio stations.

Disney will still be making movies, and Peter Pan will be on its tenth remake. But in place of Tinkerbell will be…..well, you figure it out.

And lastly, people will finally agree that global warming is real, and will discuss moving to the moon.

Tomorrow’s OctogenariansThinking

Adrian Dominican Sister Janet Doyle has been appointed Administrator for the Sylvania Franciscan Village. After an extensive search, the Village Leadership, representing the Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania, Lourdes College and Sylvania Franciscan Health, selected Sister Janet at its April meeting. She will be the first Village Administrator and will begin work on June 29.

Sister Janet is no stranger to the greater Toledo area. She served as Superintendent of Schools for the Catholic Diocese of Toledo from 1990 to 2003. She then moved to Arizona where she has served as the Director of the Catholic Center, Foundation for Senior Living, in Phoenix.

“I am delighted to be back in Ohio and working with the Sylvania Franciscans,” said Sister Janet. “There are dynamic and meaningful changes happening on the campus of the Franciscan Village and I am excited to be a part of them. I believe my past experiences with schools, my recent work with elder care and my understanding of religious communities make this a great fit for me.”

Sister Janet said she envisions the Village as a multigenerational, diverse community where bridges are built purposefully between the different ministries, creating opportunities for learning, growth, outreach, fun, friendship and meaningful activities.

Sister Diana Lynn Eckel, Congregational Minister for the Sylvania Franciscans, considers it a true blessing that the search for a Village Administrator brought Sister Janet and the Sylvania Franciscan Village together.

“She brings a creative mind, an electric energy and a collaborative style to this commitment and ministry,” said Sister Diana Lynn. “In her own words, Sister Janet says the unique difference in the Village is its ‘purposeful expression’ of Franciscan values. Activities, events and

new ministries will develop out of the Franciscan Charism that permeates the grounds with ways to honor the earth and the environment, to reach out and serve the poor, to engage in learning, to find our spiritual selves and come together in community.”

Dr. Robert Helmer, President of Lourdes College, said: “Sister Janet brings a richness of experience that will serve us all well as she begins her new position as Village Administrator. I have no doubt there will be much excitement and anticipation among many people for her return to our community.”

James Pope, President and CEO of Sylvania Franciscan Health (SFH), said: “Sister Janet is an excellent choice for Administrator of the Sylvania Franciscan Village. With her years of experience in Catholic leadership positions, she has the knowledge and expertise to effectively channel the multitude of resources already available and to move the organization forward in fulfillment of the Sylvania Franciscan mission.”

The Sylvania Franciscan Village was launched on Oct. 4, 2010, by the Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania and their two sponsored ministries, Lourdes College (education) and Sylvania Franciscan Health (health and human services) to nurture the legacy and growth of the Sylvania Franciscan mission for the greater good and transformation of the world.

Is there anything better than spending a night under the stars, enjoying great live music? Sylvania is fortunate to be the home of the best outdoor venue in northwest Ohio, and also happens to be the homebase of one of the most vital, exciting bands around…Up For Grabs.

On Friday, July 8, from 8 p.m. to Midnight, the Centennial Terrace will be host to a hot night of music from Up For Grabs, a five piece ensemble of musicians who have been performing in the Toledo area for more than 20 years.

Formed initially by Joe Ziegler (drums/percussion/vocals), Steve Mizer (keyboards/vocals), and Jeff McClung (guitar/drums/vocals), the band’s love of southern blues, Classic B-side rock, and eclectic tastes has led them to many years of friendship, performance, and recording (as The Heelees and Eeven Steeven). During the years, UFG has rotated in many different players, but are back to the original five members for another show at the Terrace on Friday, July 8.

“We first met and jammed at my sister’s house, at an outdoor party-on-the-patio, across the street from my house in Sylvania. The creative spark was obvious when we played together, and we ended up taking that energy two streets over and started the band in a small basement room next door to Joe’s house,” Steve muses. “’What type of music do you do?’ is the usual question these days. All of us are genre-aware, however, it’s quite ironic that we try to avoid describing what we do, or putting ourselves in a box. We’ve always just gravitated toward good songs that can be covered by the band, our vocals, and spaces that we leave for each guy to jam out each night.

It’s exciting to be at a point in your life where the music

comes easy, and you can just make it up in the moment”, Steve added.

“Yeah, that’s the best feeling ever”, chimed in Jeff McClung, who the other guys like to call Thad Melvis.

Ziegler laughs, “We’ve given ourselves the heelees, trying to make some over-arching statement that describes the band, and one of the funnier ones is ‘German-Italian Rock.’”

Up For Grabs also features Jim Mack (bass guitar/vocals), and Luke Vossen (guitar/vocals). Luke and Jim attended Whitmer High School, and on Friday night, the Whitmer High School Class of 1976 will be celebrating its 35th year anniversary. “I’ll be dedicating a few solos to my classmates, I’m sure,” Luke said.

This group features a healthy dose of Santana, Allman Brothers, Joe Cocker, The Beatles, The Stones, and strays from the norm with a little Rare Earth, Ben Folds, Kings of Leon, and Delbert McClinton. They’ve been known to sneak in a few originals from time to time as well.

The five piece arrangement allows the band to spice up the music with extra guitar work from McClung, who then switches to drums to move Ziegler out to shine on the percussion set. This versatility, along with their three and four-part vocal harmonies sets them apart from other bands.

So doesn’t that all sound like fun?

Fresh air, cool beverages, great snacks, and energizing music from Sylvania’s own Up For Grabs! Come on out and bring a friend or two. As UFG is known to say, “Tell your Mother”.

Centennial Terrace is at 5773 Centennial Rd. Cover charge is 7$ per person on Friday night.

Austin Bohn, Aaron Okuley and Daniel Mills all received their Eagle Scout awards at a June 5 Court of Honor ceremony. All three youths are members of St. Joseph Catholic Church and Boy Scout Troop 87.

AUSTIN BOHN: Bohn is the son of Rick and Alecia Bohn. He is a 2010 graduate of St. John’s Jesuit High School and will be a sophomore at the University of Kentucky this fall. He will be serving on the Ranger Staff at Camp Pioneer this summer and in August will return to Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, N.M., for a third time. Bohn has been a member of the scouting program at St. Joe’s since the first grade.

Bohn’s Eagle Scout project was to build three stationary benches and two swinging benches for Camp Courageous. It is a camp for disabled individuals, so they can do things like other children do at summer camps. The new benches are in use around the campfire circle and the swinging benches have been placed around the camp grounds.

AARON OKULEY: Okuley is the son of Randy and Maryann Okuley. He is a 2011 graduate of St. Frances de Sales High School. Okuley will be attending John Carroll University in the fall, majoring in Secondary Math Education with a possible minor in Theology.

Okuley’s Eagle Scout project was to reconstruct a rundown playground at the Family House homeless shelter in Downtown Toledo. He replaced the ground surface and beam edgings by obtaining donations for mulch and wood. The weeds, old soil and debris were removed and properly disposed of and new required layers of playground mulch were replaced. The playground equipment was cleaned, reinforced for safety, and placed on top of the new surface. Some donations of new equipment were obtained.

DANIEL MILLS: Mills is the son of Pat and Cindie Mills, Sylvania. He is a 2011 graduate of St. John’s Jesuit High School. During high school, he played snare drum in the marching band and indoor drumline. He was a director of the school’s student-run daily news program. Daniel plans to attend Ohio University in the fall to pursue a degree in video production.

For his Eagle Scout project, Daniel provided assistance to the Sylvania Franciscan Sisters in removal of trees infected with the Emerald Ash Borer and replanting of other species to replace them. Work included removing small trees and brush, preparing materials for chipping, and planting seedlings. More than 1,800 trees were infected on a site managed by the sisters as a nature preserve.

Pictured are the three St. Joseph Catholic Church, Boy Scout Troop 87, members who were part of the Eagle Scout Court of Honor event on June 5.

Half-Century Tradition Going Strong! Knorr Orchestra to perform at Sylvania’s Independence Day celebration By Kaylyn Johnston

Special to the Herald

Monday, June 20 through Friday, June 24, the Sylvania Historical Village hosted its annual ArtVentures Camp, bringing Sylvania area students and teachers together for a fun and creative experience.

ArtVentures camp is a week long program where students between third and seventh grade meet from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm and complete a variety of art projects, learn about art history, and bond with other students that share a similar love of art. Tina Arndt, an art teacher at Central Elementary, said of the experience,

“Art camp is fun because we get to work with so many different mediums of art in such a short time. The students have 110% motivation and get to complete different projects than they would in the classroom.”

The art campers work on many different projects throughout the week, attending classes where new projects are introduced each day. Projects range from sculpting and painting, sewing and knitting, to sand blasting glass at Village Glass, located near the Sylvania Historical Village. While all of the projects involve an artistic element, even students with limited artistic ability still have fun.

“All of the projects are very creative and fun, even for the less creative people. Here at art camp, I’ve done silk painting, batiks, indabelle dolls, and other paintings and sculptures,” said Elizabeth Atkins, a student at Timberstone Junior High School and veteran art camper.

Once students complete the seventh grade, they can become camp counselors. Counselors are responsible for being the bridge between the students and the teachers, set-up and clean-up, helping the students with various projects, and making the camp a fun experience.

“Counselors are the students’ friends who can help them with any difficulty such as threading a needle or helping to put them at ease. Our teen volunteers have been coming to camp as students and enjoy it so much they don’t want to leave,” said Joy Armstrong, director of Sylvania Historical Village.

While the teen volunteers work hard, they still enjoy the art camp experience. Nikki Griffin, a senior at Sylvania Southview High School, was an art camper for two years and has been a camp counselor for the past six years. She said of her experiences,

“Art camp is very enjoyable. Every summer I look forward to working with the kids and doing projects; art camp is always very exciting.”

Being a counselor also gives teen volunteers the opportunity to gain valuable leadership experience.

“I’ve learned how to get work done and be responsible while having fun at the same time,” said Lauren Kenney, who travels back from Erie, Pennsylvania each year to attend the camp.

Griffin has had the opportunity to watch the ArtVenture camp grown from small beginnings. Sylvania Historical Village began the camp in 2004 as a way to teach the arts that were either too costly or time-consuming to be taught in a elementary art

classes. Joy Brown-Latimer, an art teacher at Highland Elemntary, began the art camp as four half-day classes, taught in the reproduction log cabin in the Village.

Information regarding enrollment in art camp is sent out

to returning students in February and fliers are distributed to Sylvania elementary schools in April. Enrollment is limited to 35 students. Further inquiries can be made by calling Sylvania Historical Village at 419-882-4865.

On June 22 at 10 a.m. the Sylvania SUNRISE Lions Club presented and dedicated the Roaring Lion Drinking Fountain to the Sylvania Recreation District’s Pacesetter Park for community use. The Sylvania SUNRISE Li-ons Club was able to raise funds for this community fountain through its annual Kelly Miller Circus and other fundraising activi-ties.

Dedicated to service to others, the members of the Lions Club, children from Sylvania Family Services and area dignitaries will come together to unveil the Lion-shaped fountain and the children will be able to enjoy the first drink from the refreshing water fountain.

The Sylvania SUN-RISE Lions Club is hon-ored to present the foun-tain in the month of June, because June marks the month that Anne Sullivan, a teacher for the blind, be-gan to teach Helen Keller letters, by signing them into her palm.

Anne held Helen’s hand under a water pump while signing W-A-T-E-R into her palm. Helen’s whole face lit up. The word came to life in one moment. That day, she learned 30 words.

Then in June, 1925, at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, Helen Keller ad-dressed the Lions at their International Convention and challenged them to become “Knights for the Blind.” They accepted her challenge and continue to be the largest service orga-nization in the world.

Lions Club Interna-tional has sponsored clubs all over the world, includ-ing Sylvania, were mem-bers are committed to their motto: “We Serve.”

Local volunteer ac-tivities include working with those people who are blind and visually im-paired, local senior center and assisted living homes, adopt-a-highway and eye-glass collections to name a few. According to Sylva-

nia SUNRISE Lions Club President, Dr. John Krusze-wski: “It is our hope that the Roaring Lion Drink-ing Fountain will serve as a constant reminder that service organizations like our Lions Club are a vital part of a community and we will always be here to serve!”

The Sylvania SUN-

RISE Lions Club meets the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month at 7 a.m. at Scrambler Ma-rie on Central Avenue. For more information about the Roaring Drinking Fountain or to learn more about the club, please con-tact Bob Rank at the Club office, 419-843-4847, or visit them on Facebook.

Disco Mania In Sylvania!

Taylor Spurgeon-Hess, 12, Sylvania, works on a “Fau-vism” art work project at the ArtVentures program June 22 in the Period Barn building at the Sylvania Historical Village. Fauvism was a short-lived art movement that used bright colors that were said to attract wild beasts and birds.

More than 3,000 Sylvania-area residents packed Centennial Terrace on Friday, June 24, to attend the annual Disco Night event. Several participants dressed in period disco wear. Tickets were sold out long before the show. Duane Horst, who has volunteered with the fund-raiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation from the first event 16 years ago, said it takes a full year to plan and 100 volunteers to run the event. $1 of every ticket goes to the charity said Kelly Wallington, another volun-teer with the event. Wallington also noted that each year, more and more people dress for the event. If you weren’t there -- it’s prob-ably because your Jeep Thing wouldn’t start.
