In 2014 the gapwill increase by $1.29 million,and by 2015, expenditureswill exceed revenuesby $2.62 million.The gap continues towiden through 2017 whenrevenues are projected at$32.98 million and expendituresat $36.56–a differenceof $3.58 million.Mr. Lockwood pointedout that the numbers are thebest assessment that he canprovide due to the uncertaintyof future state funding.“The state continues tobe without a concrete fundingformula. Without concretedetails of the new formula,the district can onlyanticipate using historicaldata coupled with data proposedby the Ohio Departmentof Education,” he said.The treasurer also notedthat with the reduction ofproperty values from the2012 Lucas County propertyreappraisal, the district canexpect to see less revenuebeginning in 2013.“The reappraisal willcost the district $470,000less in tax revenue in fiscalyear 2013 and $940,000 insubsequent fiscal years,” heexplained.Other factors impactingthe revenue side of the budgetinclude the State FiscalStabilization Funds (SFSF)which will no longer beavailable in 2013.“The district lost almost$900,000 in SFSF due to thegovernor not replacing therevenue with likeErevenueon the state foundation,”Mr. Lockwood said.Health care costs also areChief Richard Helminski.Although the weathercooperated, Chief Cousinonoted this year’s turnoutseemed a little light thoughthe reason was ironic.“I’m very pleased withthe turnout…but as I mentionedin my speech, DonGould, one of the firefightersout on Crissey, his funeralwas going on [concurrently]with this so a lot of the peoplewere at that,” heexplained.Springfield Township Trustee Marylin Yoder observes asAssistant Fire Chief Rick Helminski places the wreath atthe memorial.Springfield Twp. holds firefighter memorial ceremonydifficult to estimate for thetreasurer, but he said thedistrict is working throughits health insurance committeeto maintain claim levelsand costs.Another concern Mr.Lockwood noted is studentseligible for free lunches.“The free lunch populationthat is exempt from payingstudent fees continues toforce more general fundexpenditures towards consumablesupplies.”Other BusinessIn other business, theboard of education:•Approved a waiver forthe maximum capacity inthe multi-disabled room atHolloway Elementary.Matt Geha, director offederal programs, said oneadditional student has beenenrolled in the class.“The child comes withan aide, and there are fouraides and a teacher alreadyin the room,” he said.He added, “We believe itwill continue to be a safeclassroom and feel it is okayto apply for the waiver.”•Hired Sara Shaner andPlease turn to page 2While those associatedwith the department takegreat pride in the annualevent, the chief said its naturebrings about mixed emotions.“It is bittersweet, certainlya somber time that givesfamilies the opportunity tocome back and reunite withsome of the people that theyhad known from the past,” hesaid.Chief Cousino added thatat its core rests the idea of thedepartment still being a largefamily and like any otherfamily, they honor andrespect those who camebefore them with the memorial,and ceremony is the pinnacleof it.“The fire department is abig family,” he said. “Youspend so much time at thefire station and with the commitment,you really get toknow the whole family, children,and brothers and sistersand things of that nature.”–Sean MaioloFirefighters stand at attention in tribute to their fallen comrades.Making a case for smilesSHS students help children ConKerr cancerMaking pillowcases forseriously ill children was anidea that appealed to Hollandarea resident Linda Bayer,when she first learned aboutthe ConKerr Cancer organizationin April while watchinga morning news program.ConKerr Cancer wasfounded by Cindy Kerr,whose son was diagnosedwith cancer in 2002. Shebegan making pillowcases tobrighten up his hospitalroom. He loved it so muchthat she began making pillowcasesfor other childrenon the Oncology Unit atChildren’s Hospital ofPhiladelphia.Since then the pillowcaseproject, A Case for Smiles,has grown, providing nearly490,000 pillowcases craftedby thousands of volunteersthroughout North Americaand South Africa.The organization’s purposeis to make hospitalstays as pleasant as possiblefor chronically ill childrenand their parents.Their goal is to provide abright pillowcase to everyseriously ill child in NorthAmerica by 2015, and theyare expanding internationallywith chapters in Canada andSouth Africa.Mrs. Bayer learned of anorthwest Ohio chapter inPort Clinton and spoke withchapter coordinator LindaPeiffer. Shortly thereafter,she began sewing pillowcases.“I’ve made over 600myself,” she said sincebeginning the project aboutsix months ago.But for Mrs. Bayer itwasn’t enough to make pillowcases.As the chapter’slocal representative, shewanted to enlist others in hercampaign.She approached the Studentsin Action group andfamily and consumer sciencesinstructor at SpringfieldHigh School, and bothresponded to her call.“We have 100 kids makingpillowcases,” she said.Libby Mathewson, asophomore taking family andconsumer sciences, washappy to participate.“I like it, it’s easy and it’sfor a really good cause,” shesaid, adding, “I’ve madethree so far.”The sophomore made oneusing her favorite fabric,Hello Kitty. Libby’s skillwith a sewing machine wasevident at a recent class,when she helped classmateswith their projects.“I know what I’m doing,and I like to help out,” shesaid. She plans to make asmany pillowcases as she canduring the class project.Conner Klaft also enjoysthe project, “It’s pretty fun.”Students in Action volunteerswork on their pillowcasesafter school, and theproject has garnered of othersincluding CathySemonin, assistant to Dr.Michael O’Shea, assistantsuperintendent.“She has made 42 pillowcasesto date,” he said.The standard-size pillowcasesare a bit challenging tosew because when finished,they contain no raw edges,explained Mrs. Bayer.In the future she plans toenlist more school groups,sewing circles, churchgroups and others to make “acase for smiles.”For more information orto volunteer, call Ms. Bayerat 419-866-1294 or send ane-mail to bayer727@aol.com. –Jane MaioloLibby Mathewson trims fabric for another pillow case.
