Holiday traditions in Sylvania
By Christine A. Holliday
Herald Writer

The holidays are here, and

families all over northwest
Ohio are celebrating in special
ways. Food, family, and music
are always part of the festivi-
ties, but, just as important are
the traditions we recall and
the special gifts that mark our
holiday parties and gatherings
of friends. I asked several local
residents to talk about their
holiday celebrations—the tra-
ditions they recall or the gifts
they give.
Polish foods were impor-
tant to the way marge Poole’s
family celebrated and contin-
ues to celebrate the christmas
holidays. “my kids are young
adults now (elizabeth is mar-
ried, and Kevin is away at
college), but when they were
very young, we started the
holiday season with an Advent
Wreath,” she said. “before bed
every night, we would all sit in
the living room and light the
candle or candles, as advent
progressed, and we would
read from the children’s bible
stories or talk about various
things. elizabeth and Kevin
liked only the candlelight and
the lights for our tree and man-
ger, so it was a little challeng-
ing to read the story, but we
managed to succeed. That was
one of my favorite traditions
when they were young.”
“Decorating, baking cook-
ies and making candy seem
to go on for weeks. every
year we sponsor a family who
is less fortunate and partici-
pate in other charitable ges-
tures. Shopping, wrapping and
giving are always fun. On
christmas eve we all go to
4:00 mass and then our whole
family comes to our house
for a traditional christmas
eve Dinner. my mom makes
pierogi (cheese, cabbage, pota-
to, and prune-my favorite).
everyone has a favorite. She
also makes Placzek (Polish
coffee cake). We have kiel-
basa and ham. Years ago we
did not eat meat on christmas
eve, so we just ate the pierogi
and coffee cake. If we went
to midnight mass, we would
come home and eat a piece of
Kielbasa. Smelling it through-
out the house all christmas
eve day made us impatient for
the morning so we could try it.
After we finish our dinner we
invite other friends who don’t
have family commitments to
come join us for dessert and
holiday cheer.”
rick michalak has two
small children of his own, but
hasn’t forgotten his own child-
hood christmases. He remem-
bered, “my favorite memory
of christmas from my child-
hood would involve the Polish
traditions that my grandparents
practiced. The days leading up
to christmas were always my
favorite and most memorable.
I remember helping both of my
grandmothers make traditional
Polish treats like chrusciki and
kolaczki and putting them into
tins to be delivered to friends
and family. I remember listen-
ing to stories about their child-

hood during the christmas sea-
son while we worked.”
He continued, “In the Polish
tradition, christmas eve was
the most important day, and
the celebration usually started
in the early afternoon. People
would stop over at our house
throughout the day and wish
us well, and we would do the
same on the way to my grand-
parents’ house. my grand-
mother would always have her
sisters over in the afternoon as
well as a few of her aunts, and
they would always speak in
Polish except when they spoke
to me. Toward the evening
the house was filled with my
aunts, uncles, and cousins and
we would all sit down in the
dining room for dinner. before
eating, my grandfather would
pass around oplatki (similar to
a communion host only rect-
angular and quite a bit bigger)
and each member of the family
would break off a piece and
wish each other well. The shar-
ing of the oplatki was so impor-
tant that if a family member
was unable to come to dinner,
a piece would be broken off
and given to them. After leav-
ing my grandparents’ house
we would go to midnight mass

mom sing, then
return home around 1:00 am.”
It is Italian food at christmas
that brings back memories
to Anne marie blank, who
recalls, “my mom was 100%
Italian and we always spent
christmas eve at her brother’s
house. He made a traditional
Italian feast of fried calamari,
smelts, homemade cavatelli
(fresh pasta shaped like a bul-
let), meatballs, Italian sausage,
and cookies. We always went
to midnight mass, which used
to actually begin at midnight!
my dad was Scotttish/english,
so on christmas Day we feast-
ed on standing rib roast and
Yorkshire pudding. my mom
always made a red/green and
white layered jello mold which
I continue to make.”
blank also makes a buche
de Noel, or Yule Log. It is a
sponge cake rolled up like a log
and filled with chocolate whip
cream. It is a typical French
pastry that she has made for at
least 25 years. Her sons love
it, and this year she will make
two. She also makes lots of
cookies, in the spirit of her
late mother. She explained,
“cookies are another tradition
in my family. my mom made
at least 10 kinds every year
Christmas photos are

Jordan Simpson and her
family.
cutouts. He was very meticu-
lous in his decorating – even
put eyeglasses on his ginger-
bread men. I still make seven
cookie recipes from my mom.
my dad also still bakes her
christmas cookies and we will
share and relish them together.
my mom passed away in 2002,
so this is one way to connect
with her during the holidays.”
One other tradition makes
blank’s holidays special. “One
last memory doesn’t involve
food. my dad was in TV and
advertising his whole life, so
he took lots of home mov-
ies. On christmas morning he
always went downstairs first
and set up his equipment. On
cue, my siblings and I would
walk down the stairs and then
run to the christmas tree with
all the presents. He captured
some great expressions on our
faces that we will always have.
The awe and excitement of
christmas morning through
the eyes of children. I love
watching those movies.”
Special foods are part of
many families’ holiday celebra-
tions, and that includes Alexis
Lease’s family. “On christmas
eve, my family and I go to a
chinese restaurant called Jing
Shaun. We visit there with all
Anne Marie Blank bakes cookies from her mother’s
recipes.
Christmas Eve dinner is the centerpiece of Marge
Poole’s family’s holiday celebration.
uncles. We feast on egg rolls
and rice, while we talk about
the year we have had.”
Kyle ernst’s family tradi-
tion includes what they call
“Stocking Stuffers,” that
involves visiting a grocery
store and taking five minutes
to grab food items for stuff-
ing the family’s stockings. The
two are students at christ the
King School.
christmas eve with four
children was always a challeng-
ing time for chris carroll and
her husband Jack. They came
up with a way to “curtain the
excitement.” She said, “About
20 years ago we decided a late
afternoon movie and dinner
out would help. Driving to
the theaters in Franklin Park
Mall, the traffic congestion and
the hustle and bustle of last
minute shoppers were always
prevalent. exiting the movie,
the contrast of closed stores, no
shoppers and very little traffic
always seemed surreal. We
would then drive across the
street to what was then Pizza
Hut where again, all was peace-
ful and quiet. When Pizza Hut
closed we expanded this tradi-
tion to friends of ours with
six children who celebrated
both christmas and Hanukah.
We would take all the kids
to the movies while the par-
ents would prepare a sit-down
meal for us. Leek soup and
the exchanging of gifts were
always highlights. This con-
tinued for several years until
they moved away. To this day,
we still maintain the tradition
of a movie and dinner.”
seventh-graders also had sto-
ries to tell about their holiday
traditions or the meaning of
the holiday. carli Silberhorn
learned about giving when she
made a christmas gift for her
aunt Sharon. She explained, “I
made a homemade blanket by
taking two pieces of fleece and
tying them together. I gave
it to my aunt Sharon when
she visited us from california.
After she returned home, she
became sick after a surgery
that went wrong. She had that
blanket with her the entire time
she was in the hospital. That
meant so much to me. I was
thankful that I could brighten
her day with a simple gift.”
everyone takes photos dur-
ing the holidays, but Jordan
Simpson’s family takes one
special photo each year.
“When my sister and I come
down the stairs, we have to
stop at the bottom of the steps
for a christmas picture. before
we can open our presents they
take our picture, a tradition that
goes way back to when my
great-grandma was a child.”
music plays a big role in
the holiday traditions of Jessica
rutkowski’s family. They lis-
ten to christmas music on the
radio as they decorate their
tree. “We have had the same
christmas tree since I was
born, and we have always
listened to 101.5 The river,
which plays christmas music
from Thanksgiving to New
Year’s Day. my dad and I
always dance to It’s the Most
Wonderful Time of the Year.”
On christmas eve, Jessica’s

Sister M. Assumpta
Hintz, OSF, died
Monday, Dec. 13, 2010
in the Rosary Care Center
on the Motherhouse
grounds of the Sisters of
St. Francis of Sylvania.
Born in 1924 in Toledo,
she entered the convent
in 1946 from the now
closed Nativity parish
on the west side of town
and professed her final
vows in 1952.
She taught school for
one year in Detroit and
then spent the next 20
years ministering in the
business office of hos-
pitals sponsored by the
Sylvania Franciscans
in Nebraska, Michigan,
Texas and Ohio. She then
came to the Motherhouse
in Sylvania and worked
for 33 years in a variety
of roles in the Finance
Department.
Sister Assumpta will
be remembered for her
sense of humor and her
teasing, yet gentle man-
ner. Even in the frailty
of her later years she
managed to make her

Shopping in (old) Sylvania through the years
Time is running out for
holiday shopping, so let’s
sprint through the decades
in Sylvania gift choices.
In 1923, Chandler
Hardware Co offered the
new Hoover. Adjusts from
above, has strong suction,
ball bearing brush and
converter attachments.
Only $6.25 down and 30
days between each of the
few small payments.
H. E. Winans adver-
tised in 1928: Why pay
rent, when $2800 will
build you a 22 x 34 five
room bungalow, with
full front porch and base-
ment, all ready to move
in. They were located
at Monroe Street and
Whiteford Road.
The Muntz Dry Good
Store, corner of Main and
Maplewood, specialized
in Louisa Alcott dresses.
They offered specially
reduced prices on dress-
es in silk, voiles, rayons,
Felards, prints and broad-
cloth. Sylvania Tanning
Co on Summit Street

order, using only the bet-

Last winter, City of
Sylvania workers spent
1,560 hours and spread
1,400 tons of road salt
and 154,000 gallons of
brine to remove snow
and ice from the roads.
Last winter not as costly
as the 2008 – 2009 win-
ter season when 2,079
hours, 2,550 tons of salt
and 92,000 gallons of
brine were used, or the
tough 2007 – 2008 win-
ter season when 2,934
hours, 3,910 tons of salt
and 70,000 gallons of
brine were used.
In recent years, the
City of Sylvania bid
road salt in conjunction
with Sylvania Township
and Sylvania Schools
to receive better pricing
for the larger combined
purchase. Because of
salt shortages and higher
prices in recent years,
the City of Sylvania this
year chose to participate
in the Ohio Department
of Transportation’s
Cooperative Purchasing
Program for rock salt,
joining a much larger
salt purchasing group to
receive better pricing.
Snow and ice removal
costs, like leaf collec-
tion costs, are paid for
out of the City’s General
Fund. City of Sylvania

long time. “As an adult, I was
never very big on Christmas,”
he reported. “I saw too many
people get stressed out, too
much commercialization and
the true idea behind Christmas
and the spirituality were lost. I
never liked to give or receive
presents as the whole idea of
presents seemed nothing more
than a formality.
“The joy in Christmas came
later to me in life and sadly I
discovered it after the death of
my father. It made me realize
the importance of being with
family at the holidays and now
was the time to spend those
holiday moments with my
mother and children. Since my
father’s passing, I have made it
a tradition to spend Christmas
Eve with my mom, taking her
to Mass, then enjoying potato
soup she has made according
to an old Irish recipe. My mom
learned how to make the soup
from her mother, and she has
mastered all the magic flavors
the soup produces. The tradi-
tion of being with my family
and allowing my mom the joy
of cooking a traditional Irish
feast is better than any present
given or received. To see the
joy on my mother’s face on
that special day as she prepares
the feast is priceless.”
Perhaps Colton Carpenter
has the best story about
Christmas. He said he learned
the true meaning of Christmas
by contact with a neighbor

Happy Holidays from your
day, he never met his dad, his
big brother was a big trouble-
maker, and his little sister was
always in need of attention. A
few days before Christmas I
called him to see what he was
doing for Christmas, and he
replied, ‘Nothing.’ So I invited
him over to my house to do
some Christmas traditions.
First, we baked cookies, then
we cut out paper snowflakes,
and painted ornaments while
listening to Christmas carols.
He was so happy that his face
lit up with joy.”
He continued, “The next
day on Christmas Eve he came
over to my house and he was
so happy. Then he walked over
to my mom and gave her a
present. She wondered what it
could be, since Chris’ family
didn’t have a lot of money and
she wasn’t expecting anything,
but she thought it was so nice.
When she opened it, she saw
that it was a CD from a clas-
sical group she liked. On the
cover, we saw that it had been
purchased for a dollar at a gas
station when his mom bought
gas.”
“Chris had to move away
because they could not afford
the rent. I had always thought
that everybody did those things
at the Christmas season, but
I was wrong. When I think
about him at Christmas time
now, I wonder if he is going
to have a great Christmas this
year.”

Planning ahead is one
way to take the stress out
of holiday gift giving. And
when you plan to give the
gift of life through the
American Red Cross, you
can make the most of your
donation experience by fol-
lowing a few simple tips.
“A lot of people say pre-
paring for a great dona-
tion experience is just like
preparing for a big event,”
said Annie Marckel,
Communications Manager
for the Western Lake Erie
Region of the American
Red Cross. “That’s true,
because helping to save a
life is a truly remarkable
thing to do.”
Getting a good night’s
sleep, having a good break-
fast or lunch, and drinking
extra water and fluids can
help ensure a successful
blood donation. Donors are
also advised to avoid eat-

The Children’s Wonderland lives on Bennett Ramos wedding

By Christine A. Holliday
Herald Writer
Christmas is a time
for traditions, and Lucas
County residents will
be able to be a part of
one when they visit The
Children’s Wonderland.
After nearly 50 years at the
Lucas County Recreation
Center, the displays, with
their lighted characters
and settings, are delighting
children at Tam O’Shanter.
play.
This marks the first year
at the Sylvania loca-
tion, after Lucas County
Commissioners sold the
display to the Sylvania
Recreation District for $1
in the spring of 2010.
One-hundred-and-forty
volunteers worked over
the Dec. 10 weekend to
set up the display. Jamie
Moan, Sylvania Recreation
District Marketing
St. Michael’s Byzantine
Catholic Church in Oregon,
OH, was the setting for
the wedding of Courtney
Margaret Bennett and
Nicholas Edward Ramos on
Saturday, Nov. 6, 2010. An
evening reception honoring
the daughter of Denise and
Ray Bennett of Sylvania
and the son of Susan and Ed
Ramos of Bowling Green
was held at Central Park
The little drummer boy “plays” in this Nativity dis-
West.
Krysta Bennett was maid
of honor for her sister and
bridesmaids were Stephanie
Batsakes, Shanna Crabtree
and Lauren Dentscheff.
Performing the duties of
best man for his brother was Chris Ramos and groomsmen were Justin Bennett,
brother of the bride, Brian Moff and Richard Eckel.
Courtney graduated from Northview High School and Ohio University. Nick is a
graduate of Bowling Green High School and Owens Community College.
Courtney and Nick, along with their dog, Gus, reside in Decatur, IN, where Nick is
employed as a Agronomy Sales Specialist with Harvest Land Co-op.

Director, praised their work
and that of the staff of 20,
who worked to restore and
move the displays, saying,
“We had a great turnout of
people. We expect that our
visitors will find this to be
a quality event, one that
has been part of northwest
Ohio holidays for almost
50 years.
Those who have visited
the display in the past will
recognize their favorites,
and all will enjoy the addi-
tions to the display. Moan
explains that an “interac-
tive zone” has been added.
Children (and their adult
helpers) are able to enjoy
several hands-on activi-
ties, including writing
letters to Santa, coloring
Christmas pictures, and
decorating ornaments.
There is a small Christmas
train and a photo booth for
candid fun shots, perhaps
of the older siblings who
accompany the youngest
Christmas lovers. There
are also two WII stations.
There is a small charge for
these activities, organized
through a punch card sys-
tem ($5 for a card with 5
punches, $10 for a card
with 12 punches).
Santa is on hand to hear
Christmas wishes, and par-
Carolers’ lips really move as they “sing.”
Kids can ride the special North Pole train.
ents or grandparents can
buy memento photographs
of their little one’s chat on
Santa’s lap. Prices range
from $10 for a 5 x 7 photo
to $20 for two 5 x 7 photos
and 8 wallets.
The indoor display of
snow-covered houses, ani-
mals, fairy tale scenes, and
Christmas carolers isn’t
really cold, but guests will
appreciate the coffee shop
offerings and the brownies,
muffins, and cookies for
sale. And, just in case one
gets a guilty conscience
for overindulging, there is
a ProMedica exhibit with
T.C. Hops Frog that pro-
vides a Christmas tree dis-
play of nice food options
and a tree of naughty food
options.
Moan credits sev-

ing bring the exhibit to
Sylvania, including Toledo
Children’s Hospital,
Shorty’s, KidzWatch, First
Merit Bank, Kingston Care,
WTOL TV 11, Learning
Express, Star 105.5, OM,
and Illuminate Design.
The exhibit is open
through Dec. 30. Hours
are Monday-Saturday
10:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m.,
and Sunday 11:00 a.m.-
8:00 p.m. Prices are $5
for adults, $3 for children,

and children under 2 are
