Sylvania Chamber to host Candidates & Issues Forum

Todd Milner is Sylvania’s newest City Council president, hav-ing taken over in the wake of Keith Haddad’s resignation. Milner was elected unanimously by his fellow council mem-bers. He also serves as the Chairman of the Finance Committee and the Streets Committee.
Milner moved to Sylvania in 1985. He got involved in local politics in the mid-nineties.
“I used to go to church with Law Director Jim Moan, and he asked me to serve on the City of Sylvania Planning Commission,” Milner said.
“I was appoint-ed by the Mayor in 1997. Traditionally, in Sylvania, the Planning Commission has been the breeding ground for council members because you get a good taste of what the City of Sylvania is all about.”
Milner ran for his first term on the City Council in 2001, following the retirement of Judi Young. There was an interruption in his service in 2005, when he was defeated in an election. He was reap-pointed in 2007.
The role of City
Council President was something that Milner had his eyes on during his eight total years on the Council.
“It was something that I wanted to do and was honored that my col-leagues elected me,” he said.
As City Council President, Milner is in charge of ensuring that bureaucratic communi-cation lines stay open.
“I see one of the big-gest responsibilities as being the liaison between all the Council members, Mayor, and all of the city administrators so we’re all rowing the boat in the same direction.”
To achieve this, he uses a pragmatic approach.
“I am definitely a consensus builder. I like asking questions and listening to the answers and making an educated decision based on the information I gather.
“I like to talk to my colleagues, get their opinions, see where they’re coming from. It has to be a teamwork approach, with all seven of us working for the best interest of all the citizens of Sylvania.”
Milner noted that the Council members and city administrators have an “excellent” working relationship and that they are blessed to serve in a city like Sylvania that does not have some of the problems bigger cit-ies are facing.
“We are very fortunate here in Sylvania because we don’t have a lot of the problems that places like Toledo have. One of the reasons for that is very conservative fiscal management over many,
many years. We have strong reserves. We have a very high bond rat-ing. Consequently, we’re very financially sound,” he said.
Milner pointed out that despite Sylvania’s strong status, there is still work to be done.
“I feel that one of the biggest issues is eco-nomic development and staying business friend-ly. We now have an economic development director whose job is to recruit businesses to the city to continue to build our tax base. That’s what the Gateway project is all about, that’s what the River Trail is all about. Making south of Monroe Street attractive for peo-ple to come here and do business here.”
The Gateway project is the ongoing process of enhancing the gateway into the city. The goal is to make the entrance to Sylvania more appealing and easier for visitors.
The project includes such measures as relocating hanging electrical lines to under the street, plant-ing more flowers, and the recent installment of way finding signs throughout Sylvania.
“I’m proud of the sig-nage program I spear-headed,” Milner said.
The River Trail is a proposed walk/trail that will run all the way from the Wingate hotel to the former Burger King prop-erty on Monroe Street.
Milner sees these projects as economic development tools that will increase patronage of Sylvania establish-ments as well as make the city more appealing to incoming businesses.
Milner has two sons and twin daughters, all of which graduated from Northview. Both his sons served in the Marine Corps. The oldest was an Arabic interpreter and is now out of the service. The youngest is a heli-copter mechanic and is done next year. One of his twin daughters is a stu-dent at Lourdes College, and the other is a student at Bowling Green State University. He has two step-daughters, one at Central Catholic and one at St. Joseph. His wife is a teacher for Lucas County and currently teaches at St. Joseph.
Todd Milner is the newest City Council President. He is also Chairman of the Finance Committee and the Streets Committee.
New City Council President Todd Milner takes the reigns“We are very fortunate here in
Sylvania because we don’t have a lot of the problems that places like Toledo have. One of the reasons for that is very conservative fiscal man-agement over many, many years,” said Milner.

Southview got past another obstacle Friday night in the Cougar’s effort to repeat as Northern Lakes League foot-ball champions.
But that obstacle, the Springfield Blue Devils, turned out to be bigger than expected.
At Cat Stadium, Southview held on to improve to 5-0 over-all, 2-0 in the NLL with a 17-14 victory over the Blue Devils. Springfield slipped to 2-3 and 1-1.
Southview fans were leav-ing the game exclaiming, “What an exciting game,” for a change. That hasn’t been heard much in recent years fol-lowing Southview games. The majority of those contests have been blowouts in the Cougar’s favor.
Southview coach Jim Mayzes is pleased not only to get the win, but also that a 30 percent chance of thunder-storms never materialized. A strong wind and warm weather did.
“A lot of kids played very well for both teams and that was a great battle,” Mayzes said. “You see the rain didn’t come, and that’s week five. It’s
in the books.”Springfield had 236 total
yards, including 119 running and 117 passing, and the Blue Devils had 13 first downs to the Cougars 10.
Blue Devil playmaker Leroy Alexander accounted for 210 yards, running for 118 on 27 carries, catching two passes for 47 yards, and completing 3-of-10 passes for 55 yards and one touchdown.
It was the first time all season Alexander had spent any significant time behind center. When he wasn’t tak-ing the snap, he lined up as a receiver or in the backfield and Johnny Huntley was playing QB. Huntley completed 3-of-6 passes for 62 yards.
Southview had a similar breakdown between QBs — it was either DeNard Pinckney or David Vandercook behind center, but that’s the way it had been all season. The Cougars had only 39 receiving yards on seven catches, however.
Southview mounted 150 yards on 32 rushing attempts, spreading most of it around on three backs. Pinckney had 56 yards on nine carries, and Jay Fisher and Ja’Darian Bowers each added 46 yards.
That was Southview’s game plan.
“The game plan was load up the middle, waste time on the clock, and get yards and
just keep going,” Fisher said. “I’m glad we have such a great line blocking to help me. I can just make a few people miss, and it’s all from there. The win is always great no matter what.”
By the time it was all over, Southview had made a few mistakes in the form of turn-overs, and Coach Jim Mayzes was telling his players, “Let’s have fun, man. Put the smiles back up.”
It came down to one final drive by Springfield in the final two minutes and 23 seconds. That drive would settle the question over which team was going to win, and fortunately for Southview, it began on the Blue Devil 6-yard line.
Leading 17-14, Southview was forced to punt from its own 34. On fourth-and-16, all quarterback DeNard Pinckney had to do was softly “pooch” a kick downfield. He did so on the mark, pinning the Devils inside the 10.
Springfield still managed to drive 79 yards in nine plays. Faced with a second-and-10 from the Southview 15-yard line with 11 seconds remain-ing, senior quarterback Johnny Huntley had one option — throw the football into the end zone.
Waiting for it, along with a host of other players from both teams, was Pinckney.
Pinckney made the inter-ception and the Cougars had the win in the bag. The pick by Pinckney brought visible relief to Southview fans, coaches, and players.
“It just felt really good. We just got the ‘W’, which is what we aim for,” Pinckney said. “That’s all that matters right now is we got the ‘W.’ If any-body made the play it would have been just as important. I’m just glad we got the ‘W.’”
Coach Mayzes said, “They have a lot of good players, and we have a lot of good players, and we’re happy that when the
ball came down over there, No. 6 (Pinckney) had it, and not their No. 6, our No. 6.”
The game didn’t start off as if it were going to be close — it looked at first like it might be another Southview blowout victory.
It took Southview junior running back Jay Fisher exactly one play to reach the end zone. Although he was bumped at the line of scrimmage, Fisher scored virtually untouched.
That 7-0 lead had taken exactly three minutes and was typical of the starts that the Cougars had during many NLL
wins the past two seasons. Many of those games were decided by halftime.
But this Springfield team is led on defense by Williams, a 6-0, 245 pound threat who works alongside 6-1, 210 senior Albert Phillips in stop-ping opposing offenses cold.
“Their defense is tough. They’ve got a lot of studs up front, they’ve got a lot of really good linebackers, and their DBs are respectable. They just have a really good defense back there,” Pinckney said.
Fisher said, “They were very

The 7th annual movement to “Walk to Defeat ALS®” will be held on Oct. 3 2010. The event will once again be held at the Flower Hospital Campus on Harroun Rd. in Sylvania. Walkers can bring their families and teams are encouraged for the one-mile walk. The paved walk-ing path is family friendly and allows for wheelchairs, strollers and pets.
Teams gather pledges from those unable to attend but wish to support the cause and some may choose to walk in honor/memory of a loved one. The money raised will provide programs and services for persons liv-ing in this area struggling with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Last year, this event drew over 800 walk-ers in our area with $38,000 raised for this debilitating, neurological disease.
There will be many pre-event activities in the paddock area and a Silent Auction held in the Barn. More information on this disease and to register for the walk please visit the website at www.alsaohio.org. This year the goal is 1,000 walk-ers and to raise $45,000.
A Walk Down Fifth Avenue to raise funds for Toledo Animal Shelter and Assistance Dogs of America
On Oct. 28, Elegant Rags of Perrysburg will be show-ing off their fashionable attire at Inverness Country Club. This couture show will benefit the Toledo Animal Shelter and Assistance Dogs
of America. Dogs will be walking the models this year.
The afternoon will feature fabulous fashions, a lovely lunch, and everyone attend-ing supports two great orga-nizations. Tickets are $40 for general admission and $50 for Best in Show and are available by calling Carole Buchanan at 419.661.1654, Rhonda DeKoninck at 419.824.3622 x 221 or by visiting www.benefitfash-ionshow.com.
Guests will enjoy a designer bake sale, featuring delicious homemade treats from cakes to pies to gifts for the holidays. There will be a large number of raffle items and services donated; Stella and Dot jewelry, chil-dren’s baskets, spa, purses, wine baskets and even a vodka basket just perfect for the holidays. Also, bid on a fun lunch for two at Neiman Marcus, or an overnight stay at the Walden Country Inn and Suites in Aurora, OH. The auction committee out-did itself on securing the most wonderful gifts this year! Lunch will followed with a fabulous fashion show to follow.
The mission of the Toledo Animal Shelter is to find temporary and indefinite
shelter and care for home-less and abandoned dogs and cats by promoting and sponsoring animal welfare education programs, adop-tions, preventative veteri-nary care, and a mandatory spay/neuter program, with emphasis on a “no kill” pol-icy for our animals. The mission of Assistance Dogs of America, Inc. is to help children and adults with disabilities achieve greater independence by training and placing service and therapy dogs to assist with the individual’s daily needs. These are two great organi-zations and they will benefit highly from this event.
Christ Child Society hosts Red Wagon Shower
The Christ Child Society of Toledo will host their eighth annual Red Wagon Shower on Tuesday Oct. 12, 2010 at Sylvania Country Club. Members are asked to bring newborn “shower gifts” to support the lay-ette program and the most requested item this year is newborn diapers.
Currently, Christ Child Society volunteers purchase,
assemble and deliver over 800 layettes a year to area hospitals and social service agencies that serve needy families. A layette is a pack-age of a variety of newborn essentials including cloth-ing, blankets, diapers, toys, books and infant necessities.
Luncheon Chairmen Terri Payak and Claire Guisfredi promise a very rewarding and enjoyable afternoon, as always. New members Connie Rush and Karen Ridenour are in charge of the Silent Raffle Committee and the items are always fabulous treasures.
The CCS signature Red Wagons will again be everywhere! Some of them will be filled with fabulous toys for the raffle and CCS member Sandy Viviano of Bartz Viviano will fill the red wagon centerpieces to the brim with beautiful fall flowers.
In the words of Christ Child Society founder, Mary Virginia Merrick, “Nothing
is too much to do for a child.” For more informa-tion, please contact Kitsie Valtin at 419-882-1312.
Please send all informa-tion to Pat Nowak, Sylvania
Herald, 5700 Monroe St., Suite 406, Sylvania 43560, or e-mail to [email protected]. Please make sure to send information in time for publication deadlines.

Kevin Haddad is proud to continue serving our
Sylvania community as Vice Chair of the
Township Trustees. There has been much confusion since my brother Keith left Sylvania City Council. I want all residents to know that I will continue
serving our community and wish my brother well!
Sincerely,Kevin Haddad
For the record - Kevin Haddad continues to serve as a member on the Sylvania Township Board of Trustees. His brother, Keith Haddad, recently resigned as president of the Sylvania City Council.
On Sept. 25, 2010, the Sylvania Police Division will coordinate with the Drug En-forcement Administration in a collaborative effort on re-moving potentially dangerous controlled substances from the area’s medicine cabinets. The effort will provide a unified opportunity for the public to surrender expired, unwanted, or unused pharmaceutical con-trolled substances and other medications to law enforce-ment officers for destruction.
This one-day effort will bring national focus to the issue of pharmaceutical controlled sub-stance abuse.
On Saturday, Sept. 25, 2010, citizens may bring their unwanted controlled sub-stances to the division offices at 6635 Maplewood, Sylvania. Controlled, non-controlled, and over the counter substances will be collected. This program is anonymous and all efforts will be made to protect the anonym-ity of individuals disposing of
medications. No questions or requests for identification will be made.
Participants may dispose of medication in its original container or by removing the medication from its container and disposing of it directly into the disposal box. If an original container is submitted, the in-dividual will be encouraged to remove any identifying infor-mation from the prescription label. All solid dosage phar-maceutical product and liquids in consumer containers will be accepted. Liquid products, such as cough syrup, should remain sealed in their original contain-er. Intra-venous solutions and syringes will not be accepted due to potential hazard posed by blood-borne pathogens.
Illicit substances such as marijuana or methamphet-amine are not a part of this ini-tiative. However, officers will accept the substances as aban-doned property for disposal.

Northview High School physical education teacher David Briggs knows the importance of running, having received numer-ous awards during his high school/college career. Taking that love to the next step, he has started a cross country series for elementary students dur-ing October. Briggs coor-dinates his high and high school cross country teams as assistants to help coach the students from
each of the seven elemen-tary schools, grades K-5 and 6th-grade junior high school.
This the second year for the series which ran about 200 students from all seven elementary schools and three junior highs. This year, the numbers are expected to increase.
Races take place at Secor Park and are free to all enrolled students. The three meets take place on Wednesdays; Sept. 29,
Oct. 6 and Oct. 13 with staggered starts beginning at 5:00 p.m.
Briggs, stated “This is a good chance for kids to test their fitness and have a fun day with other students in our community” And the coach in him comes out as he added, “Sylvania has a history of success-ful Junior High and High School cross country pro-grams. We need instill a love of the sport to help keep our tradition alive.”
Sylvania Schools Cross Country Seriesgood players. If we can just block them it doesn’t mean anything.”
Southview’s defense did its job after scoring the game’s first touchdown, forc-ing another punt, but junior J.Q. Bowers fumbled the catch, and Springfield senior Dontai Renfroe pounced on it at the Southview 37. It was the first of two fumble recoveries Renfroe would get.
Seven plays later, Alexander completed a 25-yard touch-down pass over the middle to senior Alex Grogg, and the game was tied at 7-all with 4:41 remaining in the first quarter.
Southview senior kick-er Brad Kurtz would add a 32-yard field goal with 16 seconds remaining in the half, and that would prove to be the game-winner. The Cougars took a 10-7 lead into the locker room.
Southview, behind the run-
ning of Fisher, would take charge on the opening posses-sion of the second half. An 11-play, 71-yard drive would end with a 27-yard touch-down run by Fisher, in which all he had to do was make a couple cuts to get past Blue Devil defenders. He had the help of Pinckney, who made a key block in springing Fisher loose.
As in the second quar-ter, the Devil defense kept Southview honest from here on out. Fisher’s TD would be Southview’s last, and Springfield concentrated on getting the points back.
In the fourth quarter, a Southview punt gave the Blue Devils possession at the Cougar 48-yard line with nine minutes remaining in the game.
Behind the running of Alexander, the Devils got four first downs and were facing a first-and-goal at the Southview 2-yard line. Alexander cut past a couple defenders and went
into the end zone standing up. Freshman Devon Burns added the conversion kick, and Springfield trailed 17-14 with 4:40 remaining.
Pinckney to the rescue, again. After taking possession at Southview’s 22-yard line following the kickoff, Pinckney raced downfield for 48 yards on a second-and-eight, giving the Cougars life.
“It was supposed to be a pass play, but you know, I like to think run first. So I just took off, and (senior tight end Konnor) Chuba got a great block and I was able to scam-per downfield,” Pinckney said.
Facing a first down at the Springfield 28, Southview’s possibilities for six more points unraveled thanks in part to a holding penalty.
That’s when Pinckney’s pooch kick put the Devils at their own six with just over two minutes remaining, spell-ing the beginning of the end, finally, for Springfield.

It was a simpler time in the old days. Not only in what we did, things we saw, and the state of the world around us….but even the way we spoke.
If you tell your child or grandchild today to put your pocketbook on the davenport or divan, they probably won’t understand you want your purse on the sofa. If you offer them a soda cracker, chances are they won’t know what that is, either. At my son’s wedding a few months ago, I thanked him for the pretty nosegay that I carried down the aisle. He laughed, puzzled, until I explained I meant the small bouquet of flowers.
We in Sylvania can share plenty of other nostalgic words, phrases and experienc-es. The milkman, rotary dial phones, metal bottle caps with cork inside, pull-chain toilets, or shoveling coal in the winter. Today’s youth can’t fathom an iceman nor metal ice cube trays with levers! We’re con-sidered old if we remember wringer washing machines, doctors who made house calls, licking Green Stamps, or using mimeograph machines.
Even we old folks, how-ever, probably don’t remem-ber the old street names in Sylvania. Woodrow Drive was
Printup Street. Ravine Drive was Cemetery Lane. Main Street of today had several names: Division Street, Ohio Street south of Ten Mile Creek and Maumee Street south of Convent. Maplewood was Indiana Street. Monroe was Ottawa Street, and Convent was Clark Street. See “Kathryn Keller articles” on sylvania-history.org and see if YOUR street history is mentioned!
And here’s some nostalgia for you. Imagine driving on Monroe Street west of Alexis to Main Street in 1962. Here are some of the businesses you would have passed: Bill’s Big Burger, Don’s Drive In, Uhl’s Sylvania Food Locker, Suburban and Campbell body shops, Dunbar Shell and Stan’s Sunoco, Howard Motor Sales, and Highlanders Club. Remember any of these? Can you believe 1962 was almost fifty years ago?!?
And see if you recall these shops that once did business at Starlite Plaza in 1982. The
Magic Forest was a chil-dren’s shop, Lilac Tree sold cards and gifts, and everyone shopped at B Landis, Shoebiz. Damschroders was there, as was H Q Hair Quarters and Chapter & Verse bookstore. That was ONLY 28 years ago….
I have fond memories of visiting the pet store on Main Street in downtown Sylvania in that time period with my young sons, and they would look at the exotic animals while I picked out parakeet seed. Once there was even a tiger cub, and they still remember that! But I was surprised to learn that even before this building was the Sylvania Herald and the pet shop, it was a Kroger grocery store. Waaay before my time!
Ah, the good old days. Yes, it was a simpler, gentler era back then. But I wouldn’t give up my cell phone or lap-top to return to those times, no way! Would YOU??

OPINIONThe good old days
Thinking about
yesterday By Sheila Painter
The Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania, Lourdes Col-lege, and Franciscan Services Corporation will dedicate the newly-created Sylvania Franciscan Village on Oct. 4, 2010 at a sign unveiling cer-emony to be held at the corner of Convent Boulevard and Main Street. During the event, scheduled to begin at 12:15 p.m., Sister Diana Lynn Eckel, Congregational Minis-ter for the Sisters, Dr. Robert Helmer, President of Lourdes College, and James Pope, the newly-appointed President and CEO of Franciscan Ser-vices Corporation will share their vision of the concept, purpose and future of this collaborative effort to bring people together in a place of peace, justice and love of neighbor.
Mayor Craig Stough will talk about what this new en-deavor will mean for the city and the people of Sylvania. The Village leaders will then unveil the new sign and bless it.
“The image of an emerg-ing Sylvania Franciscan Vil-lage is cause for great hope among God’s people,” said Sister Diana Lynn Eckel. “As a religious congregation with
roots in Sylvania going back to 1916, we were always ad-vised to ‘read the signs of the times’ and let them direct our ministries. Today, in 2010, I believe we are called to create a sign for the current times. Our world is craving some-thing that speaks of God’s love, of God’s peace, of con-templation and welcoming. We, the Sisters of St. Francis, the Lourdes College commu-nity and Franciscan Services Corporation boldly take on the challenge to be this sign—people who embrace and live the Franciscan spirit and val-ues of our founder St. Fran-
cis of Assisi and foundress Mother Adelaide through a commitment of collaboration and growth.”
Following the press con-ference, guests are invited to attend a reception in the Franciscan Theater & Con-ference Center. Mini campus tours will be offered to guests who wish to tour the Village. A Mass will be held at 4 p.m. in Our Lady Queen of Peace Chapel to give thanks to God and to honor the life of St. Francis of Assisi. The day will conclude with a picnic-style dinner at 5:15 p.m. in the Franciscan Center.

Lucylle D. Stump, 94, passed away Monday, Sept. 20, at Kingston Care Center in Sylvania, OH.
Lucille Marguerita Dieffenbacher was born on Feb. 23, 1916, in Potter County, PA. She later changed the spelling of her first name to Lucylle.
Lucylle was loving, smart, compassionate, curi-ous and joyful from her first breath to her last.
After moving to Ohio as a teen and attending boarding school, she graduated from Ohio North-ern University in 1939. At college, she was elected homecoming queen. Fittingly enough, the home-coming queen met a handsome young man who was a star basketball player, Clare “CA” Stump Jr. They dated in college and married in 1939. Clare passed away in June of 2000.
Lucylle worked devotedly as a special education teacher in Lima at Rob-in Rogers School, which later became Marimor, for 20 years. She had a love for all children, especially those with disabilities, and was passionately dedicated to seeing that they were not only educated but happy as well. She would often recount field trips she and the children took and the great times they had riding on buses to new places, learning about the wonders of the world and experiencing the simple joys of life.
She was active in Lost Creek Country Club, the Lima Garden Club, and Trinity Methodist Church for many years. She volunteered at the Lima Me-morial Hospital Cerebral Palsy Clinic where she worked with children. She was also an avid bird watcher.
She lived in Country Club Hills in Lima from to 1965 to 2002. She en-joyed a full social life and had several close friends. Lucylle enjoyed help-ing others and she liked having a good time. Seeing others happy made her happy, and her unbridled zest for life was contagious. To know her was to love her. She also enjoyed a nice vodka gimlet with cheese and crackers during cocktail hour.
Lucylle and her family, including husband, children, grandchildren, sisters and nieces, enjoyed many splendid summer vacations in quaint cot-tages in Lake Chautauqua, NY. Lucylle also enjoyed summer vacations to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, particularly with her daughter, Rebecka Flanders, who passed away in February of 2010.
Lucylle is survived by two daughters, Susanne Sentle of Toledo, and Pat Howard of Cincinnati. In her later years, Lucylle enjoyed living with her daughter, Pat, and her husband, Craig, in Cincinnati, before relocating to Toledo where she lived with Sue before settling at Kingston Care Center.
Her grandchildren are Steven Lones, Jr. of Dallas, TX, Wesley Lones of Los Angeles, Tyler Howard of Perrysburg, OH, Cindy Cichy of Erie, MI, Chris Sentle of Highland Heights, OH, Jesse Sentle of Gibsonburg OH, and Ariel Flanders Pasden of Columbus, OH.
Lucylle was everything her grandchildren could want in a grandmother. She was a great cook and enjoyed teaching arts and crafts. She was kind and patient. Most of all, Lucylle was the kind of grandma that made her grand-children smile from ear to ear at the thought of spending time with her.
Lucylle had 13 great grandchildren. Her sister, Marjorie Mathews, passed away in 2000. Her niece, Marlie Bendiksen resides in Wisconsin.
Visitation was Sunday, Sept. 26, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Siferd-Orians Funeral Home at 506 N. Cable Rd. in Lima. Contributions can be sent to the Marimor School or the Lima Memorial Hospital Cerebral Palsy Clinic. Lucylle will be entombed at Memorial Park Mausoleum.

If you ask him, José Meda will tell you that since he was born, he wanted to have his own Mexican restaurant. But not just any burrito and taco stand would do for young José; his dream was to have an authentic Mexican restaurant that lovingly served honest to goodness, homestyle Mexican cuisine.
This dream has come true with the recent opening of El Nuevo Vallarta, located at 3330 W. Central Avenue, across from COSTCO in Westgate shopping center. The restaurant is spacious and the décor is tasteful, colorful, without being garish, and the lighting is warm and soothing. The bar area is darkened but the dining areas are softly lit and inviting, In other words, you can see your food but the effect isn’t stark or antiseptic. This leaves the diner with the ability to focus on the ambience welcoming the main event of their El Nuevo Vallarta experience—the cuisine. The chefs at El Nuevo Vallarta will not disappoint. They will delight and tantalize your sens-es with freshly prepared sauces and salsas, a variety of unique entrees from land and sea, and the best margaritas from here to the Big Apple.
José Meda was born in Autlan, Jalisco Mexico. He learned the art of being a res-taurateur working for and with the best. Many area diners will remember him from when he worked at El Camino Réal. El Nuevo Vallarta is Meda’s fi rst restaurant, and he affectionate-ly refers to it as a homestyle Caribbean-Mexican restaurant. He is a tall friendly man with a
sense of humor. When I asked him what his restaurant is most proud of he laughs and says, “There is not one hat on display in the restaurant!” But then he becomes more thoughtful and says he is proud of the great food, the excellent service of his professional and friendly staff and that he is able to offer healthy portions at a reasonable price.
When asked if he’d like to give kudos to any of his employees, he asks, “How many people am I allowed to mention?” And then he men-tions them all. “I am proud of all of my employees, Paco, Victor, Samuel, Neda, Holly, Martin, Tono, Poncho, Ciro, Yesley … oh, can I mention myself?” He offers me a huge grin.
When I press him to tell me what he think makes El Nuevo a must-dine in the Toledo area he brightens. “That’s hard to say; all of our dishes are spe-cial dishes.” I ask for a few examples, he thinks for a moment and begins. “Nayarit Especial, a tender rib-eye spe-cial, seasoned in Nararit-style accompanied with fi ve shrimp a la Mantequilla; Shrimp a la Diabla, shrimp spiced up with homemade “la diabla” sauce, garnished with crisp lettuce, fresh guacamole, and pico de gallo; Carnitas seasoned bone-less pork ribs fried to perfec-tion and served with Mexican rice, refried beans, lettuce, sour cream, pico de gallo; Special Costa Azul, tender strips of mar-inated chicken, steak, shrimp, tilapia and chorizo, served on a bed of grilled onions.”
Three chicken dishes rate as favorites: Pollo Vallarta, grilled chicken breast made with
Chef’s special Mexican season-ing, topped with grilled shrimp, onions and melted cheese, served with rice, guacamole salad and fl our tortillas; Pollo Tropical, char-grilled chicken breast, topped with grilled ham, pineapple and cheese, accom-panied by Mexican rice, lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole dip and three warm fl our tortillas; and Pollo Santa Fe, tender chicken strips, grilled with bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms and corn topped with a spe-cial cheese sauce served with Mexican rice, refried beans and warm tortillas.
The Barbacoa Delight is a treat for barbeque fans, made with authentically shredded beef and slowly cooked in José’s special sauce (neither hot or sweet), and is topped with fresh onions and cilantro. I would be remiss if I left out the huge Wet Burrito, the Jumbo Burrito Fajitas, the Taco Calientes (a little on the warm side) and Fish Tacos. In fact, all of the El Nuevo Vallarta Fajitas (served sizzling hot) are to die for.
Ok, just so we don’t leave anyone out. For the less adven-turous lovers of Mexican cui-sine, El Nuevo Vallarta also offers more commonly known and familiar Mexican fare, like burritos, fajitas, nachos and tacos. Did I mention they have the best margaritas from here to New York? Well, they do. But even then—oh, let’s just go ahead and say it. El Nuevo Vallarta is magnifi co y per-fecto!

Q. Who is the only U.S. president buried in Washing-ton, D.C.?
Q. Besides money, what does the U.S. Bureau of Print-ing and Engraving make?
Q. There is a big old key on display at Mount Vernon. What did it unlock?
Those are great U.S. trivia questions, but they were also part of the study guide pre-pared for the eighth-graders at Christ the King School in anticipation of their trip to Washington, D.C. and Mount Vernon. The 50 students, ac-companied by 12 chaperones, spent nearly a week in our nation’s capital, visiting gov-ernment and historic sites, and getting a jam-packed so-cial studies education.
Fifteen groups have made this trip before the Class of 2011, all of them led by par-ish Administrative Assistant Brian Smith. A student sug-gested a trip to the Capital 16 years ago, and Smith was put in charge of working with the tour company that organized the first two trips. After those two years, he decided to do the work himself, and he calls on the eighth-grade teachers, school administrators, and a loyal group of chaperones and volunteers to make each trip run smoothly.
“A student suggested that we organize a trip,” he said, “and we’ve been doing this every fall since 1995. We go at this time of year because there aren’t as many tour-ists, so we aren’t waiting in long lines. We work hard every year to plan a trip that supports the curriculum and keeps the kids busy. We try to mix things up a bit, so they get a chance to walk around exhibits, sit in movies, and get regular snack and water breaks. We pick different kinds of places to eat, such as food courts and more upscale restaurants, then stop by a place like Dave & Buster’s so they can let off some en-ergy.”
Smith works with the eighth-grade teachers to plan the itinerary. Because of the timing of the trip (early in the year), the students haven’t studied the historic periods they will be hearing about on the tour. He noted, “It is a challenge to keep their inter-est sometimes, and we have to hope that they tuck the information away so there is understanding when they do study it later in the year. Then, we try to add new
stops each trip because the students like to brag that they were the first group to see something.”
This year’s stops included Gettysburg, with a look at the Cyclorama (a 360-de-gree painting that is 377 feet around and 42 feet high) and a tour of the battlefield. The group had appointments with tour guides at Arlington Na-tional Cemetery and at Ford’s Theatre and the Petersen House (where Lincoln died). A very popular stop was the Newseum, a collection of 14 galleries and 15 theaters that surrounded them with the world’s greatest news sto-ries.
The favorite exhibits there were the Elvis Presley exhib-it (“Did adults really think he was dangerous?” the stu-dents wondered), the display of newspaper front pages covering Hurricane Katrina, and the display and TV news programs about the events of September 11, 2001. Later, the group visited the memo-rial to those who died at the Pentagon, one of the few me-morials they saw that marked an event that happened dur-ing the students’ lifetimes.
Eighth-grader Gabe Clear described his feelings about that memorial saying, “We were in preschool when that happened. We didn’t watch TV all day, and I don’t re-member hearing much about it. I didn’t know all those events (the World Trade Cen-ter, the Pentagon attack, and Flight 93) all happened the same day. When I realized that, and saw the videos and the benches at the Pentagon memorial, I was very sad. I thought about all the people who died in those places. It was so sad!”
There was plenty of quiet time as the group toured the “usual” war memorials. They saw the Iwo Jima statue, the memorials for World War
II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, as well as the memorial for women who served in Vietnam. More than one chaperone fielded questions about a memorial for the Iraq/Afghanistan War, a pointed reminder to the stu-dents that freedom comes at a price.
On a lighter note, the more courageous students rode to the top of the Washington Monument, while those who stayed on the ground got to see President Obama in a helicopter. There were three helicopters that flew from the Capitol around the Wash-ington Monument; two were decoys that flew away as the third one landed on the White House lawn. Later that same night, the group did an eve-ning tour of the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, and spent time at the FDR Me-morial.
A morning at Mount Ver-non was part of the tour, as was a visit to the National Archives, the Smithsonian Museum of American His-tory, the Bureau of Engrav-ing and Printing, and the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, where they viewed a 3D Imax movie about the Hubble telescope.
On their last morning, the group visited the shrine of the Immaculate Conception and attended Mass. On the way out of town, the group stopped for a group photo, and then hopped aboard the buses for the 9-hour ride
home.Smith explains how the
trip is arranged to go so smoothly. “We have veteran people who work on this trip. Some of our chaperones have made the trip more than 10 times, and they know they have to work. They are as-signed to a group of four or five students, and they keep track of those kids the entire time.”
Eighth-grade teacher Marietta Bobroski is a 15-year veteran. She noted that the trip is a serious project for the families. “The cost for each student is $750…with everything included. The students do fundraising for a year. They are expected to act appropriately, listening quietly, being on time, etc. We provide four colored T-shirts to all on the trip, adults and kids alike, so that every-one is wearing the same color on the same day. It makes counting everyone so much easier—you just look for 50 purple T-shirts!”
Experience has taught the adults to make special ar-rangements for cell phones. Mrs. Bobroski explained, “There are no distractions with cell phones. We keep the cell phones until the evening, when the kids have 15 min-utes to call home. They return the phones to us, and don’t see them again for about 24 hours. Phones don’t get lost, and the kids aren’t fooling around with them when they should be listening to the tour guide or the bus driver.”
Smith keeps parents up-dated on the day’s events with a recorded message on the school’s “DC Hotline,” and one of the chaperones sends Twitter postings and photographs several times each day.
Parents decide how much spending money to give their children, who receive an en-velope of those funds each day. Each member of the trip receives an envelope with funds for lunch, unless the group is eating at a buffet restaurant.
One chaperone handles the dispensing of daily medi-cations and band-aids, aspi-rin, sunscreen, etc. Another
is responsible for the on-bus movies the group watches on the road, and still another group takes care of pass-ing out bottles of water and snacks at regular intervals.
Assistant principal Joyce Irwin has made the trip sev-eral times. She and the other adults admit, “We know that

Americanmuch of this history and gov-ernment is very far removed from them. They don’t have the same response to the eter-nal flame on President Ken-nedy’s grave that the adults do, for example. The students don’t have the same feelings and thought at the war me-morials or the museums that the chaperones do. The kids are too young to appreciate what it all means. But they will never forget that they visited Washington and saw those buildings and those ex-hibits and learned about those people. Someday, they will re-alize the significance of those sites and the people who made a difference in our country’s history.”
Answers to the Trivia Questions:
Woodrow Wilson is the only U.S. president buried in Washington, D.C.
In addition to money, the
Bureau of Printing and En-graving produces military commissions and award certif-icates, invitations and admis-sion cards, and many different types of ID cards, forms, and security documents.
The key on display in the foyer of Mount Vernon was the key to the west door of the French prison, the Bastille. The storming of the Bastille marked the beginning of the French Revolution. Marquis de Lafayette gave the key to George Washington in 1790 as a symbol of liberty. Lafayette had served under Washington in the Revolutionary War.

earn an AP Scholar Award. In 2009-2010, 125 SUA stu-dents took AP Exams. Thirty of the eligible 102 students (juniors and seniors) re-ceived an AP Scholar Award (29%).
The College Board rec-ognizes several levels of achievement based on stu-dents’ performance on AP Exams.
At St. Ursula Academy, seven students qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinc-tion Award by earning an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of three or higher on five or more of these exams. One of these students is Ha-
ley Herman of Sylvania.Eleven SUA students
qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor Award by earn-ing an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of three or higher on four or more of these exams. The students from Sylvania are Megan Bodie, Megan Lankard and Stephanie Schmitt.
Twelve SUA students qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing three of more AP Exams with scores of three or higher. Sylvania students are Victoria Al-len, Sarah Brenner, Rachel Chambers, Megan McKer-nan and Aubrey Pizza.
St. Ursula students named Advanced Placement (AP) Scholars
