Tate Myre stood on the Glass Bowl turf Saturday, a tough-guy expression on his face that screamed smashmouth football player.

 

He wore his Oxford High School letterman’s jacket, an Oxford football hooded sweatshirt, and Oxford sweatpants. Hands tucked in his pants pockets, young Myre gazed into the camera, his eyes narrowed, a boundless future ahead.

No one knew at the time that the teenager and Oxford would be linked forever, in grief and in heroism.

On Tuesday afternoon, young Myre’s plans met an agonizing conclusion as he and two Oxford students — Hana St. Juliana, 14, and Madisyn Baldwin, 17 — were killed by 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley, a classmate who opened fire in the school, injuring eight others during a senseless five-minute rampage. The Crumbley youth has been charged as an adult. A fourth student, Justin Shilling, 17, died Wednesday morning, authorities said. The Myre teen reportedly attempted to disarm the gunman, preventing the devastation from being even worse.

“Putting everyone else before him, I can’t even imagine how those kids felt at that time, and to see someone with that type of courage and bravery to step up, he saved, who knows, hundreds of lives,” said Jeff Corrion, founder of The D Zone, a Michigan high school recruiting website, who knows the player’s family. “That’s going to be his legacy. People are never going to forget this in Michigan.”

A sheriff’s deputy rushed the youth to the hospital, but the 16-year-old died in the patrol car, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. Oxford is located 30 miles north of Detroit. “Tate was and will always be a beaming light for Oxford,” Oxford coach Zach Line wrote on Twitter. “It’s hard to put into words what he meant to me, but he will hold a special place in my heart forever. God reaches down and touches certain people, he was one of those people. I love you FOUR TWO.” Young Myre made an unofficial visit to the University of Toledo for last week’s game against Akron. He attended with his dad.

“It’s heartbreaking for the family, for that community. I can’t really put it into words,” said UT director of player personnel Ricky Ciccone, with a solemn, stunned tone to his voice. “Everybody spoke very highly of him as a kid. He was a really good football player. Carried himself very well. Good kid. He couldn’t have had a better reputation.” The junior tight end/running back/linebacker had 43 carries for 286 yards (6.6 yards per carry), 34 receptions for 420 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 71.5 tackles during the 2020 season. The teen, who wore jersey No. 42, was a first-team all-region selection on offense and defense by the Michigan High School Football Coaches Association. “His character is the biggest thing. He was always focused on the team before everything else,” Mr. Corrion said. “He set a good example for the rest of his teammates. The younger kids looked up to him. He really set the bar high for character.” The Myre youth had the game-clinching interception on a rainy October night in Oxford’s 38-28 upset of No. 7 Clarkston in the Michigan state playoffs. After the game, he wore a slight grin as he spoke to The D Zone in a video posted on Twitter. “It feels awesome. It feels great,” he said, with a joyful expression across his face. “Rain is just like Oxford football, tough and muddy. Everything about us is tough.” An online petition to rename Oxford’s Wildcat Stadium in honor of the victim has more than 50,000 signatures. “Tate is not just a hero to his fellow students at Oxford high school but a legend, his act of bravery should be remembered forever and passed down through generations, he put his life in danger to try and help the thousands of other students at Oxford High School,” Drake Biggie, the petition’s organizer, wrote. In a tweet posted Sunday at 1:40 p.m., young Myre said, “Had a great time at the Toledo game yesterday. Thank you [Ricky Ciccone and Toledo football] for the invite!” Tragedy would strike 48 hours later. “He had a bright future,” Mr. Ciccone said. First Published December 1, 2021, 5:30pm

OXFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A 15-year-old boy was charged Wednesday with murder, terrorism and other crimes for a shooting that killed four fellow students and injured others at a Michigan high school. Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald did not reveal a possible motive for Tuesday's violence at Oxford High School and declined to comment when pressed about whether she believed the victims were specifically targeted. But she said the shooting was premediated, based in part on a “mountain of digital evidence” collected by police.

Sheriff Mike Bouchard later told reporters that the boy's parents had been summoned to the school before the violence. Bouchard wouldn’t discuss details of the behavior school officials were concerned about.

"There is nothing that he could have faced that would warrant senseless, absolutely brutal violence on other kids,” he said.

“This was not just an impulsive act,” McDonald said. The shooting should be a wakeup call for new gun laws in a country that has become “desensitized to school shootings,” McDonald told reporters. “We have to do better,” McDonald said without offering specific changes. “How many times does this have to happen? How many times?” The charges were announced a few hours after investigators reported that a fourth student had died. “What about all the children who ran, screaming, hiding under desks? ... Those are victims, too, and so are their families and so is the community. The charge of terrorism reflects that,” the prosecutor said. Deputies rushed to the school around lunchtime Tuesday and arrested Crumbley in a hallway within minutes of the shooting. His father bought the 9 mm Sig Sauer gun last week, according to the Oakland County sheriff.

McDonald strongly suggested that more charges will be filed. "We are considering charges against both parents and we will be making a decision swiftly,” she said. “Owning a gun means securing it properly and locking it and keeping the ammunition separate,” she said. The four students who were killed were identified as 16-year-old Tate Myre, 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana, 17-year-old Madisyn Baldwin and 17-year-old Justin Shilling. After the attack, authorities learned of social media posts about threats of a shooting at the roughly 1,700-student school. The sheriff stressed how crucial it is for such tips to be sent to authorities, while also cautioning against spreading social media rumors before a full investigation. Undersheriff Mike McCabe downplayed the significance of a situation in early November when a deer's head was thrown off the school roof, which he said was “absolutely unrelated” to the shooting. The incident prompted school administrators to post two letters to parents on the school’s website, saying they were responding to rumors of a threat against the school but had found none. Isabel Flores, a 15-year-old ninth grader, told Detroit television station WJBK that she and other students heard gunshots and saw another student bleeding from the face. They then ran from the area through the rear of the school, she said. A concerned parent, Robin Redding, said her son, 12th-grader Treshan Bryant, stayed home Tuesday after hearing threats of a possible shooting. “This couldn’t be just random,” she said. Bryant said he had heard vague threats “for a long time now” about plans for a shooting. At a vigil Tuesday night at LakePoint Community Church, Leeann Dersa choked back tears as she hugged friends and neighbors. Dersa has lived nearly all of her 73 years in Oxford. Her grandchildren attended the high school. “Scared us all something terrible. It's awful,” Dersa said of the shooting. Pastor Jesse Holt said news of the shooting flooded in to him and his wife, including texts from some of the 20 to 25 students who are among the 400-member congregation. “Some were very scared, hiding under their desks and texting us, ‘We’re safe, we’re OK. We heard gunshots, but we’re OK.’ They were trying to calm us, at least that’s how it felt,” he said. First Published November 30, 2021, 7:19pm

DEC 1, 2021 11:37 PM

A local activist group trying to get meaningful improvements for western Lake Erie has pulled out of a landmark case it helped initiate in federal court, citing differences with attorneys arguing on its behalf. Lake Erie Advocates, formerly known as Advocates for a Clean Lake Erie, notified the Chicago-based Environmental Law & Policy Center in writing on Monday it wants out of the case the two brought in federal court against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over the lake’s eventual cleanup strategy, first in 2017 and again as a refiling in 2019. Lucas County commissioners, who later brought a separate-but-similar action, were recognized by the court as the third plaintiff once Senior U.S. District Judge James Carr consolidated the two cases. Mike Ferner, Lake Erie Advocates founder, told The Blade on Wednesday afternoon he has a lot of frustrations over the direction the case is going. He said it’s apparent the ELPC and Lucas County commissioners share the ideals of his group, but is afraid they’re getting boxed in to an eventual consent decree with the federal government will ultimately lead to more of the same and not meaningfully address what he considers the real problem, the rise of concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs, in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.

“It just became obvious that what's seen as a solution is not. It's just more of what we've been doing for more than a decade, which hasn't worked,” Mr. Ferner said. Part of his frustration, he said, is the court’s inability to tell the Ohio EPA how to write a prescriptive remedy for reducing daily discharges into the lake from farm fields and other major sources. The process, known as a Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL program, has been used in many states for years, but on smaller waterbodies. The six-state Chesapeake Bay TMDL is currently the largest one. The state of Ohio agreed as the case was being litigated to do a TMDL for the open water of western Lake Erie, something it had refused to do for years. But the question before Judge Carr now is how much power the judiciary has over that agency as it is in the process of writing a TMDL. The only recourse, Mr. Ferner said, appears to keep coming back to court to fine-tune the document in future years.

“We're not withdrawing from the lawsuit because we're impatient,” he said. “I think they [ELPC and Lucas County commissioners] are doing the best that can be done in a corrupt system.” At the minimum, Mr. Ferner said, the state needs to call a moratorium on the construction of more CAFOs, something which the Ohio Department of Agriculture has said it is not willing to do. The plaintiff attorneys announced in July they had hoped to settle the case immediately after a Sept. 20 mediation hearing in Cleveland with U.S. Department of Justice attorneys who represent the U.S. EPA. While progress apparently was made toward a consent decree, no deal appears imminent. In the latest entry on the court docket, Judge Carr informed both sides he now expects a progress report filed on the first of every month, starting Dec. 1. Howard Learner, ELPC executive director, issued the following statement in response to the group’s decision to withdraw as a coplaintiff: “We respect the Lake Erie Advocates’ decision to withdraw from the case and the proposed settlement. The Environmental Law & Policy Center will continue with the Lucas County Board [of Commissioners] as plaintiffs in effectively litigating this important case before the U.S. District Court to advance the cleanup of Lake Erie.” Likewise, Fritz Byers, attorney for Lucas County commissioners, said that board of elected officials has “great respect for the efforts of Lake Erie Advocates and all others who focus energy on protecting our valued environmental resources.” “The commissioners believe the agreed resolution of this case is a crucial step toward protecting the lake, and they will continue to work on finalizing and implementing that resolution,” Mr. Byers said. Lake Erie Advocates has about 30 to 50 regular attendees at its meetings, Mr. Ferner said. He founded the group under the name Advocates for a Clean Lake Erie in response to Toledo’s 2014 water crisis, when an algal poison made tap water produced by Toledo’s Collins Park Water Treatment Plant unsafe to drink or use for bathing and other purposes for nearly 500,000 people the first weekend of August that year. Mr. Ferner said he believes Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s H2Ohio program won’t do enough to reduce western Lake Erie algal blooms. Administration officials have said the public needs to give the multimillion dollar, incentive-laden program a chance to succeed. “The [agricultural] industry doesn't want to change and the regulators want to keep the status quo,” Mr. Ferner said. In a statement he sent out announcing a news conference for 10 a.m. Thursday, he said his group appreciates “the honest efforts of ELPC attorneys, but we have zero confidence that justice for Lake Erie and protecting her rights as a living entity can be won in the courts.” “Withdrawing is the only principled thing to do, and we hope it sends a clear message to the public that indignant, tenacious citizens are our only hope to protect the systems we depend on for life,” Mr. Ferner said. He and other members of Lake Erie Advocates supported efforts of another group, Toledoans for Safe Water, to get the city’s charter amended with a doctrine called the Lake Erie Bill of Rights. LEBOR, as it was known, became part of a growing “rights of nature” movement worldwide. Though LEBOR was approved by voters at a special city election in February, 2019, it was ruled unconstitutional by U.S. District Judge Jack Zouhary a year later.

Weeks after state fraud investigators issued subpoenas for records pertaining to the City of Toledo and Wood County’s dealings with FrontPath Health Coalition, the network’s partner is fighting to keep those records under lock and key. After winning a $1.7 million civil suit in Lucas County against FrontPath, a Perrysburg-based medical network, on behalf of Medical Mutual, a Cleveland-based insurer, attorney Richard Knoth received two subpoenas for records from investigators with the state auditor’s office. The state auditor’s office, who later confirmed via a spokesperson that it has, in fact, opened an investigation into the city of Toledo and Wood County, are looking to obtain any and all documentation of the relationship between FrontPath and the two public entities, both whom currently contract with the network. On Nov. 8, Mr. Knoth filed a public notice in Lucas County Common Pleas Court, informing attorneys for FrontPath that he was prepared to fulfill the state’s requests.

Katheryn Lloyd, an attorney for FrontPath’s partner organization, HealthScope Benefits, Inc. a national healthcare management firm, responded to the notice via email Tuesday, asserting that protection orders previously issued by Judge Michael Goulding shield the documents Mr. Knoth was prepared to provide to the state from the state’s subpoenas.

ADVERTISEMENT

“HealthScope does not waive the provisions or protections of the foregoing orders and will look to you to govern yourself and your production in accordance with the court orders,” Ms. Lloyd wrote to Mr. Knoth, who characterized the email as “intimidating.” Ms. Lloyd could not be reached for comment Wednesday. Mr. Knoth argued in a motion filed Wednesday requesting an emergency hearing on the matter that the protective orders do not apply to requests stemming from criminal investigations. “Rather than take action to quash this subpoena and own up to its efforts to thwart a criminal investigation, third party HealthScope Benefits, Inc. has instead resorted to thinly veiled threats against Medical Mutual and its counsel if they dare produce HealthScope documents in response to the government’s subpoena,” Mr. Knoth wrote. “Because HealthScope has now put Medical Mutual and its counsel in the impossible position of either (1) risking contempt proceedings for failing to fully comply with the government’s subpoena or (2) facing a lawsuit or other punitive litigation conduct from HealthScope for producing documents relevant to the investigation, Medical Mutual and its counsel now seek emergency approval from this Court to timely comply with the government’s properly issued subpoenas.” Mr. Knoth told The Blade he hopes to be before Judge Goulding by Friday as the state has set a Dec. 3 deadline for response to its first of two subpoenas. Both of the state’s subpoenas request that Mr. Knoth provide a comprehensive list of all of FrontPath’s employees or agents who were connected to efforts to secure contracts with the City of Toledo or Wood County.
