Johnson said she was particularly impressed with the parklets for the downtown area, small entertainment tables in parking spaces on public streets in the Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA). She already has used the Sylvania parklets as examples to other communities. The next steps will be to solicit public involvement in the planning process, and to complete the project by fall.

18A YOURGOOD.NEWS SYLVANIA ADVANTAGE • MID JUNE 2020 A tribute to my dad... BY CHRISTY COLE A person once said, “Some people don’t believe in heroes, but they haven’t met my dad.” Father’s Day is a great time to reflect and honor all the incredible fathers and father figures who have played a role in our lives. I am fortunate to have had so many positive male role models in my life growing up, but I am most thankful for my dad who instilled me the importance of always doing what’s right, being of service to others and so many other important life lessons. My dad taught me never to take myself too seriously and the importance of having a good sense of humor. In grade school, on the days dad packed my lunch, the kids would anxiously circle around the lunch table to watch me open my lunch box because inside would be several enormous foil balls. The suspense would mount as I peeled each layer of foil back on every ball to discover what surprise was waiting inside. Sometimes it was a dog biscuit or cat food and the table would explode in laughter. My dad also taught me the importance of showing up. On many occasions in high school, when I ignored his attempts to rouse me for school, our old vacuum cleaner would be strategically placed in Tom Cole and his daughter Christy my bedroom right next to my bed. My door would be shut, and the vacuum cord would be plugged in Cole. down the hallway. The roaring sound of the vacuum reverberating off my walls always did the trick and Tom Cole and his daughter Christy Cole in their younger years. I was never late for school! My dad also made me believe I had no limitations, and that a girl could do anything a boy could do. He taught me to throw a football fifty yards. He never Have a smokin’ Father’s Day! let me quit a sport or activity when things got hard. He instilled in me the importance of always fin- ishing what you start. Don’t give him a necktie he won’t wear; give him a cigar he’ll love! Out of all the lessons, I most appreciate that my dad has always been there when I needed him.

Thank you to my dad, and all the dads and father figures who are the “hero” in someone’s life. Es- pecially for the sacrifices you make and all the hard work you do to support your families. To my dad, thank you for being my hero and best friend. Bonds we share... BY LYNDSEY STOUGH Cigar Merchant has all the cigars and accessories you need - including pipes and pipe tobacco.

I’m just telling her what to do.” In spite of his intensity for the sport, (all sports) here’s the thing. I had tennis playing daugh- ters because of him. He provided them with lessons. He has always been a big believer in providing experiences, education and memory-making moments for others. My dad has always been a trooper. He was the fill-in for the Indian Princess camping trip where my youngest threw up on him after consuming an entire package of smug- gled Oreos. He also used his mathematical skills to figure out how many times he heard “Hot Cross Buns” horrifically played on wind instruments in school gymnasiums, and how many smoldering days he endured sitting on bleachers yelling “pull” at swim meets. At times, I think he must feel that his days of Army basic training were easier. One of the many things that dad has said that has always stuck with me is, “The great- est gift a man can give his children is to love their mother.” We recently lost my mom but dad gave us this priceless gift through their 61-year marriage. I hope my daughters find men that are like the dads who drove us home from our babysitting gigs instead of the ones who act as if they need childcare. I know we have been blessed to have such a man who values community, family, and faith. As Wade Boggs once said, “Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad.” Happy Father’s Day, Dad! Jim Scheib with his granddaughters Lauren, Maria and Helena Darah
