Ohio EPA

Western Lake Erie declared impaired

By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency announced it will designate the open waters of Lake Erie’s Western Basin as impaired for recreation due to harmful algae and the presence of mycrocystin, a toxin that caused Toledo to ban tap water for two days in 2014.

The designation would cover the basin from the Michigan/Ohio state line to the Marblehead Lighthouse. Previously, only the shoreline area of the Western Basin and drinking water intakes have been designated as impaired.

The Kasich Administration requested input from representatives from The Ohio State University Sea Grant College Program, Bowling Green State University, University of Toledo, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and U.S. EPA to identify a science-based process for assessing impairment in Ohio’s Western Basin open waters for harmful algae. To date, no such process has existed, so Ohio has not been able to determine if the open waters of Lake Erie should be listed.

“We have taken unprecedented steps in recent years to put Lake Erie on a better trajectory-including investing more than 43 billion to improve its water quality,” said Ohio EPA Director Craig W. Butler. “While designating the open waters of the Western Basin as impaired does not provide, as

some suggest, a magic bullet to improve the lake, the state remains committed to our obligations under the Clean Water Act and to examine emerging science and practices that we can put in place to help improve it.”

Progress Many environmental groups have been pushing for the impairment designation of the Western Basin of Lake Erie.

“Great. We’re happy,” said Oregon City Councilwoman Sandy Bihn, who is executive director of Lake Erie Waterkeeper.

The impairment designation is a tool to fight harmful algal blooms, she added.

“Butler is correct in that it’s not a magic bullet to improve the lake. But it requires that progress be made. If it isn’t, other things will kick in,” she said, such as the establishment of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), which is part of the Clean Water Act. A TMDL is a plan for restoring impaired waters that identifies the maximum amount of a pollutant, such as phosphorus, that the lake can receive while still meeting water quality standards.

Advocates for a Clean Lake Erie (ACLE) filed a lawsuit in federal court last July to compel the U.S. EPA to designate the lake impaired. Judge James Carr heard oral arguments on the case on March 6 and a decision has been expected for over a week.

“This decision that took massive public insistence and a federal court suit is way overdue,” said Mike Ferner, coordinator of ACLE. “An impaired designation kicks

off a process under the Clean Water Act that includes finding out exactly who the polluters are and the amounts from each.

It must be completely transparent, with public involvement every step of the way.

ACLE will be vigilant to see that this declaration actually means something.”

Draft report The announcement of the designation was included in a press release issued by the Ohio EPA on Thursday that included information on its draft 2018 water quality report that outlines the general condition of Ohio’s waters. It includes a list that identifies impaired waters that are not meeting their federal or state water quality goals, as well as waters that have improved to meet federal standards.

The Clean Water Act requires Ohio to evaluate the water quality of all waters within its jurisdiction and submit a list every two years to U.S. EPA that identifies each body of water that is impaired by pollution. Written comments on the draft list of impaired waters may be submitted no later than May 4 to epa.tmdl@epa.ohio. gov, or in writing to Ohio EPA Division of Surface Water, P.O. Box 1049, Columbus, Ohio, 43216-1049, Attn: 303(d) comments.

Comments submitted after this date will be considered as time and circumstances permit. Following public review and comments, a final report will be submitted to U.S. EPA.

Two recent incidents involving motorists on I-280 in Lake Township illustrate why a state law that blocks many township police departments from patrolling on interstate highway systems needs to be amended, Mark Hummer, Lake Township Police Chief, said during Tuesday’s meeting of the township trustees.

Chief Hummer told the trustees he’ll submit a resolution for their consideration at their next meeting to show support for the passage of House Bill 255 that is pending in the Ohio legislature.

Police departments in townships with populations of less than 50,000 residents lack statutory authority to make warrantless traffic stops on interstate highways.

If passed, the bill would lower population threshold to 5,000.

Chief Hummer said the bill is “stuck” in the House Transportation and Public Safety committee where it received testimony from proponents on Sept. 13, 2017.

The committee hasn’t held any hearings on the bill since then, according to its website.

The resolution he is proposing would ask State Representative Theresa Gavarone and State Senator Randy Gardner to support the bill.

“We need our local representatives to help us,” he said. “Their families travel these routes too. Nothing good comes from someone going the wrong way on I-280. We just need the ability to go up there and do our job.”

On March 18 around 2 a.m., township police arrested a Toledo man after receiving a report of a motorist driving the wrong way on I-280. Shannon D. Doby, 31, was charged by township police with reckless operation, driving while impaired, possession of marijuana and having an open container in a motor vehicle.

Last month, a man entered the township via I-280 after shooting four persons Continued on page 4

MARCH 26, 2018

From songbirds to migration, research projects vary Examples of research projects the Black Swamp Bird Observatory is involved with — Passerines (songbirds) A long-term study to monitor the population status of neo-tropical migrants and to better understand the relationship between in-route habitat and their breeding ecology is conducted on the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge complex, Creek Bend Sandusky County Park, on neighboring lands in SE Michigan, and at the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes.

Data has been used to develop the Lake Erie Management Plan, Beneficial Wildlife Impairments section of the Clean Water Act. It has also been widely used for local and regional management plans.

In addition, data helped researches identify timing of different species to help the public in improving sighting opportunities.

Shorebird migration monitoring & habitat usage With the assistance of dedicated volunteers, the BSBO monitors shorebirds during spring and fall migration in the Ohio and Michigan Lake Erie marshes. Species timing, habitat utilization, and habitat parameters are documented to assist in improved management of diked wetlands for this group of birds.

Avian diversity in managed landscapes, Oak Openings region The Oak Openings habitat is the sole remaining patch of a once larger biome of the lower Great Lakes system.

Four habitats have been investigated at the Ostrich Lane site since 1993 as part of ongoing research of the Oak Openings region and in conjunction with the MAPS program. Degraded grassland (shrub/scrub), grassland, managed oak savanna, and unmanaged oak woodland each have four nets placed and monitored once every 10 days from early June to mid-August. Data collected on captured birds includes species, age, sex, fat condition, mass, molt, breeding status, time, and net of capture.

Ohio Winter Bird Atlas A long time in the making, the Ohio

Winter Bird Atlas will chronicle almost 200 species and include historic information, and a diverse range of introductory information.

While there have been many breeding bird atlases conducted in this country, this is the first atlas of winter bird distribution.

Victor Fazio initially launched the program before entrusting the oversight of the project to the BSBO in 2003. He remains an integral part of the project. The organization also credited all the volunteer birders who spent thousands of hours – and dollars – traversing the frozen Ohio landscape in search of birds and reporting their discoveries.

Colonial Wading Bird Population Monitoring Monitoring of the colonial wading bird population on W. Sister Island National Wildlife Refuge is a cooperative project with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ohio Division of Wildlife, and the BSBO. The BSBO is responsible for banding a sample of the herons and egrets on the island to provide information on the dispersal of these birds.

The island holds 40 percent of all the nesting herons and egrets in the U.S. Great Lakes. Monitoring of the population has become increasingly important due to the expansion of the Double-crested Cormorant and the resulting habitat loss.

Black-crowned Night-Heron Populations have been declining on the island to well below 500 pair (they once reached a high of 1,200 pair on the island).

The Black-crowned Night-Heron has been designated a bird species of concern in the Great Lakes by the USFWS. Northern Saw Whet Owl Studies The study identifies spring and fall migrational timing of Northern Saw-whet Owls near the western basin of Lake Erie and collects data to contribute to the eastern U.S. database on the species.

The Saw-whet Owl is Ohio’s smallest owl as well as its most migratory. Little was known about the species migration until the late 1990s when Operation Owlnet (www. projectowlnet.org) was initiated. That program began with five Saw-whet Owl band-

ing stations in Maryland and expanded across the country.

BSBO researchers utilize the capture protocol of Project Owlnet for this project.

Captured birds are banded with a federal leg band, aged, and energetic condition examined.

Primary migration periods have been identified as October and November in the fall and March and April in the spring.

Project SNOWstorm Project SNOWstorm was created in the winter of 2013-14 to study the largest invasion of snowy owls in the East in nearly a century.

The effort is a collaboration among more than 40 scientists, bird-banders and wildlife health professionals, all working as volunteers.

This winter, with a second major irruption taking shape (especially in the Midwest), the team expanded its research into mysterious raptor. Research included

the use of state-of-the-art telemetry, banding, DNA and isotope analysis, toxicology screening and more, all funded through public support.

With cutting-edge tracking technology, researchers can follow the movements of snowy owls in precise detail – potentially for years at a time.

Support is needed to raise funds to purchase additional transmitters. Collaborating scientists in Project SNOWstorm are tagging owls throughout the Northeast and Great Lakes with solar-powered GPS-GSM transmitters which detail the birds’ movements 24 hours a day.

BSBO teamed up with USDA Wildlife Services, Kirtland Bird Club and Project SNOWstorm to radio-tag a Snowy Owl. “Buckeye” – first Snowy Owl to be radio-tagged in Ohio – was released in Feb. 2015.

By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Councilwoman Sandy Bihn said she and City Administrator Mike Beazley met with The Toledo Division of Environmental Services recently to discuss air emissions from a proposed $700 million hot briquetted iron (HBI) manufacturing facility in East Toledo.

IronUnits, which received an air emissions permit-to-install from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency last month, can have higher air emission allowances because it will be built on a Brownfields site, a location that had previously been used for industrial purposes.

“They can have more emissions on a Brownfield than they can have on a Greenfield site,” Bihn said at a council meeting on Monday. “The plant did use that option to have higher emissions than what would have been allowed on virgin ground.”

Bihn has been expressing concerns about the planned facility since she attended a public meeting held by the Ohio EPA and Toledo Division of Environmental Services on Jan. 18 at Waite High School to hear about the company’s permit application. Days later, Bihn accused the Ohio EPA of misleading the public by not disclosing at the meeting that a similar iron manufacturing plant in Portland, Texas, has been the subject of several lawsuits due to dirt, emissions and noise complaints from surrounding communities since the plant became operational in 2016. The Texas plant produces 2.2 million tons of iron briquettes and uses technology similar to the one that will be used by IronUnits.

The Ohio EPA told The Press last month that it was aware of the Texas facility, but did not mislead the public about it.

The Ohio EPA permit, which allows for the construction of the plant at the former Ironville Terminal on Front Street and

Millard Avenue, includes conditions limiting total maximum air emissions to protect public health and the environment. Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and greenhouse gas pollutants are expected to be emitted along with small quantities of other pollutants. The plant will produce 2.48 million tons of hot briquetted iron per year, more than the plant in Texas.

Emissions Bihn continues to have concerns about dust and chemicals possibly blowing off the site and has talked with company officials about the matter.

“In Texas, material handling and stockpiles are in an enclosed building. All the stockpiles (at IronUnits) are not enclosed and will rely on some water and some chemicals to keep the dust down,” she said. “We’ve had some huge winds in the last few days here. I question whether that’s realistic to keep it from blowing outside the facility.”

Taconite, or iron ore, dust will be in the stockpiles.

“There is taconite right now stored at the shipping docks near Harbor View. That taconite absolutely blew into the neighborhoods and blew red dust all over houses several years ago. Now, it has been covered and watered down from time to time. But for a time, it was really nasty in the neighborhood. I got a call the other day from a guy who said he still is experiencing problems near Harbor View.”

She also questions the possibility of the company seeking an increase in emissions after it becomes operational.

“Carbon monoxide in Texas was permitted at about 497 tons per year. Once the facility started up, they changed the permit to have an allowance of 4,308 tons per year.

So obviously the carbon monoxide went up substantially.”

Dina Pierce, media coordinator of the northwest and southwest districts of the

Ohio EPA, confirmed to The Press that none of the material stockpiles at IronUnits is going to be within an enclosed building.

“Ohio does not require the use of a building enclosure. Instead, other forms of control were required, including the application of dust suppressants, non-building types of enclosures, fabric filters, wet scrubbers and work practices. A building enclosure is not required because the other techniques were determined to effectively control the dust,” Pierce told The Press last week.

No appeal Bihn said at the meeting she had hoped to appeal the Ohio EPA’s issuance of the permit to IronUnits, but city council “thought that should not happen.”

“I had hoped Oregon would appeal the permit, and then negotiate something better, but there was no support on council,” she said.

Bihn, who is executive director of the Lake Erie Waterkeeper organization, said she’s worried about the overall impact the facility will have on the region’s water and air.

“I don’t hold out much hope that I’ll be able to convince them to have continuous monitors at the facility. I am still extremely concerned about the stockpiles and the dust.

It will blow. How far it will blow and what it will do remains to be seen,” she said.

The Ohio EPA conducted a detailed analysis of the expected impacts of the emissions coming from the IronUnits facility and determined that, even when operating at its maximum rate, no adverse health or welfare impacts are expected from the facility, according to Pierce.

“There are no state or federal rules that require continuous monitoring of the facility. Ohio EPA does, however, require detailed monitoring, record keeping, reporting and emissions testing to ensure the plant is operated in compliance with applicable air pollution rules,” she said.

Interstate jurisdiction bill Historic Brandville School, Grasser Street, built 1882 is needed more than ever in Detroit. The pursuit ended at the Flying J Travel Center where he died of a self-inflected gunshot.

“Our school was locked down because of this,” Hummer said.

Sheriffs oppose bill Chief Hummer cited opposition from the Buckeye State Sheriff’s Association as one reason HB 255 and a similar bill introduced in 2016 stalled in the legislature.

“We can’t allow people to be killed over a turf war,” he said.

Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn, as then president of the sheriff’s association, was the voice of the association’s opposition to a similar bill and has said the BSSA also opposes HB 255.

During a hearing in 2016 with Rep. Steve Hambley, the bill sponsor, Wasylyshyn said many smaller township departments would be leaving their jurisdictions to get to the interstates because of the limited access points.

However, sheriff’s deputies “never leave their jurisdiction” when patrolling federal, state or interstate systems, he said.

The BSSA also is concerned smaller townships would use the patrolling authority primarily as a means to bolster their revenues through drug interdiction and asset forfeiture.

Locally, police departments in Lake and Perrysburg townships would be affected by the bill as they are crossed by I-280 and I-75 respectively.

Perrysburg Township Police Chief Mark Hetrick has said his officers have access to I-75 without leaving their jurisdiction and Chief Hummer said his officers can access I-280 without leaving theirs.

The push for expanding township authority on interstates stems from a 2015 decision by the Ohio Supreme Court involving a traffic stop on I-280 by a Lake

But that evidence was suppressed on appeal because the officer lacked the statutory authority to stop the driver.

“The effect of this ruling was widespread and courts threw out a multitude of cases across the state, essentially letting a number of OVI and drug traffickers walk free,” Hambley said last year during his sponsor testimony to the committee.

Rep. Steve Arndt is a co-sponsor of HB 255.

Rep. Michael Sheehy, a member of the transportation and safety committee, said he had been leaning against supporting the bill, fearing it could lead to a large increase in traffic tickets being issued in rural areas.

However, with the drug trafficking problem escalating he’s willing to consider it.

“I don’t want to commit myself. The proponents make some very strong arguments about drug interdiction. I’m looking forward to hearing more testimony,” Sheehy said.

Combining research, education for bird conservation

By Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Like most jobs, being director of research at Black Swamp Bird Observatory has its ups and downs, successes and challenges. There are also lots of chances to get your hands dirty.

And that’s just fine for Mark Shieldcastle.

“Yes, sometimes our jobs are dirty – we even did a few episodes of the Discovery Channel’s ‘Dirty Jobs’ with Mike Rowe.

BSBO was really the lead on the ‘Vomit Island’ episode that featured the heron work on West Sister Island,” Shieldcastle said.

The Ohio native always wanted to work with birds.

He earned a degree in Wildlife Management from The Ohio State University and was on staff at Ohio State with the Ohio Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit before accepting a position with the Ohio Division of Wildlife. He spent 32 years as a Wildlife Biologist specializing in avian research before retiring in 2009.

He has conducted research on bald eagles, colonial waders, terns, wetland breeding birds, woodcock, shorebirds, colonial passerines, waterfowl, rails, cranes, migrating raptors and migrating passerines.

Shieldcastle started working in Northwest Ohio in 1976 when he started the Crane Creek Wildlife Research Station for the State of Ohio.

In 1991, he and a group of others who shared a passion for birds and ornithological research founded BSBO. The group included Shieldcastle, his wife Julie, Tom Kashmer and Joe Komorowski. The organization obtained a federal non-profit designation in 1992.

“Research is really what brought the group together,” Shieldcastle said. “We were looking primarily to create an educational outlet for the research we were working on.

“We decided to begin with work on the projects I had going at the time – primarily spring migration,” he said. “BSBO’s bigger projects are really still the flagship projects that pre-existed the organization, some by a decade.

“For example, I started passerine migration work in 1978 at Magee Marsh – before there was a boardwalk,” he said.

“Our focus is long-term monitoring, which is not done by agencies or universities,” Shieldcastle said. “Looking at the effects of climate change, you need studies that have been running 25-50 years before you can even start to look at change.

“We felt one of the important things BSBO could provide is the foundation to keep those kinds of studies going,” he said.

National, international reach Shieldcastle noted that as BSBO has grown, the educational components have gotten much greater.

“We’ve become more of a national and international organization in some of the roles that we play in research and education,” he said. “Being heavily involved in national initiatives like migration, wind power, youth education and things like that, we’ve become a much broader-based organization that’s extended well beyond Lake Erie Marsh regions.

“The creation of the Ohio Young Birders Club, which created an organization for youth was a major educational advancement,” he said.

“Research is a foundation of everything, but it has little value if you don’t educate people with it, with an end result of improving conservation,” Shieldcastle said.

Shieldcastle also credits the annual

“To me, the most valuable thing the festival has done isn’t that we brought thousands and thousands of birders here to enjoy birds, because they were probably going to be coming in anyway,” he said. “What it’s really done is to engage the local community and show that birds have value, and having habitat has value.

“I think the thing that was very telling to me – and this was in the second or third year of the festival – was having one of the first businesses involved – a hotel in Port Clinton – came to us asked how they could help conserve habitat.

“They started recognizing that people care about birds and if there is more bird habitat, there will be more birds and more birders coming to stay in their rooms, eating in local restaurants – they started seeing that economic value,” he said.

In addition to the BSBO research staff, which includes Shieldcastle and two

additional members, some 40 volunteers from Northwest Ohio and beyond help with the organization’s efforts.

“The volunteers help with all the jobs that go along with operating a banding station – extracting birds from nets, writing down data, banding birds, etc.”

Shieldcastle said. “They’re very dedicated; some of them come from western and southern Ohio.

The volunteers are also well trained.

“We have a very rigid protocol in how people get involved in projects,” Shieldcastle said. “We want people to enjoy themselves while they’re out there, but the goal is to gather sound scientific data.”

Two years ago, BSBO formed a small conservation committee to address ongoing and new threats to native bird populations that utilize this major migratory passageway.

Shieldcastle is among the members of the committee, which identified free-roaming cats, large balloon releases and poorly sited

windmills as threats to avian populations.

“There’s a lot going on with wind power,” Shieldcastle said. “We are taking a leading role in the Great Lakes region, along with the American Bird Conservancy, in trying to improve pre-and post-construction surveys for wind turbines.

“Wind farms are killing lots more birds and bats than anybody knows,” he said.

“It’s not that wind shouldn’t be part of our energy portfolio it needs to be, it’s a siting issue – where do you put them?

“The bigger they get, the more dangerous they are,” he said. “We now know that a lot more birds fly at the height that these things exist. As wind power moves into areas of high bird concentration, it could ultimately be catastrophic, more so for bats than birds, and bats already have some serious problems right now.

“Our real goal – both mine and BSBO’s, is to have transparent, reliable data so that the regulatory agencies can make informed decisions,” he said.

“There needs to be more R & D (research and development) in the wind industry on new designs that do not have these major pitfalls. The ability is out there,” Shieldcastle said. “We have to avoid the straw that breaks the camel’s back. How many more things can we pile on our birds and our bats and our amphibians, reptiles, butterflies and things like that before there is a breaking point?”

“I was the head of the bald eagle project with the State of Ohio for 25 years,” he said.

“When I started at the division, we had four breeding pairs in the state of Ohio. I would say right now that we actually have between 300 and 400 pairs in the state.

“That is one of the true success stories in wildlife management in Ohio,” he said.

Shieldcastle noted that while it only took a couple of decades to bring the bald eagle to the brink of extinction, it took about 40 years and considerable expense to bring them back.

“We cannot afford to do what we did for the bald eagle for 100 species at the same time,” he said. “We don’t have enough manpower, money and wildlife agencies to do that.

“Our best bet is not to let them get to that point in the first place.”

EPA sets meeting on dredging of Toledo Harbor

By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Ohio EPA will hold a public information session and hearing at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 29, to accept comments on a proposal for the annual dredging of the Toledo Harbor federal navigational channel. The meeting will take place at Toledo City Council Chambers, One Government Center, 640 Jackson St. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has applied for a water quality certification for the project, which involves dredging the lake approach channel between Lake Mile 2.5 and Lake Mile 13. Dredged material would be disposed in the southwestern portion of the approved open lake disposal area located about 3.5 miles from the Toledo Harbor Lighthouse. Dredging would not start before July 1 and would not occur during storm events.

The Army Corps is requesting to place up to 800,000 cubic yards of material into the open lake. In 2017, the Army Corps contributed 35,000 cubic yards of dredge material to a beneficial use project at the Riverside continued disposal facility through an agreement with the ToledoLucas County Port Authority Center of Innovation for the Beneficial Use of Dredged Sediment. The Army Corps could place up to 60,000 cubic yards of material at the site if the agreement with the local partners continues this year.

The annual dredging of the Toledo Harbor is done to keep the shipping channel open.

Oregon City Councilwoman Sandy Bihn, who is executive director of the Lake Erie Waterkeeper, said dredged materials do not contribute to the algae problems impacting the lake. “There is no scientific indications I know of that the dredged materials create a

lot of phosphorous that contributes to the algae problem,� said Bihn.�

Positive steps The Army Corps of Engineers redredges suspended material in the shipping channel because the average depth of the waters in the channel is about 12 feet, and the channel has to be dredged to 28 feet. “Obviously, when the winds blow and the dirt goes around, you’re going to get depositions in the channel. But there are no indications it’s a contributor to the algal problem. They were not dredging when the Toledo water crisis happened. In fact, the Corps has taken positive steps in terms of their practices to dredge later so it’s not so impactful in terms of making the muddy waters and churning it up during the algae season. Also, when they dispose of the dredged materials in the water, they put it down deeper than they used to. They

used to put it at the surface and it went everywhere. Now, they put it five to 10 feet down and it doesn’t have the impact it used to have.�

During the information session, Ohio EPA representatives will present details about the proposed project. During the hearing, which follows the information session, the public can submit comments and questions for the record regarding the application.

Ohio EPA will accept written comments on the annual dredging application through April 5. Anyone may submit written comments or request to be placed on a mailing list for information by writing to Ohio EPA, Division of Surface Water, Permits Processing Unit, P.O. Box 1049, Columbus, OH, 43216-1-49, or emailing epa.dswcomments@epa.ohio.gov.

The application and related materials are available to review online.

Veteran gleaner is looking ahead to harvest time

By Press Staff Writer With the spring planting season near, George Jensen is asking area fruit and vegetable growers to think ahead and remember that the produce still in the fields and orchards after the harvest is food for those less fortunate.

Jensen, also known as Tater, is a Hunger Relief Advocate of the Society of St. Andrew, who’s been organizing volunteer gleaners for about 20 years and is entertaining thoughts of retiring as he approaches his 80th birthday. But not yet. “We want to give the producers a reminder since it’s getting close to planting time. We pray for bountiful harvests; so bountiful that we would appreciate the leftovers to help feed the hungry of this country,� he said.

Much of the gleaned produce is taken to the Toledo Seagate Food Bank. “If we get a whole truckload it goes directly to the food bank. They already have the distribution system in place. It makes it easier on us, too,� Jensen said.

The amount of food left in the fields after harvest can be considerable. L a s t fall, members of the Gibsonburg High School Future Farmers of America chapter helped cut and load about 10,840 pounds of cabbage in about two hours.

The Society of St. Andrew is an ecumenical, non-profit organization headquartered in Big Island, Va. It relies on volunteers from church groups, youth organizations, and others to go into fields and orchards to gather what would otherwise go to waste.

The society estimates last year it saved and distributed about 28,000 pounds of produce nationally through the efforts of 37,482 volunteers.

Growers are provided letters of donation for tax rules.

Jensen started volunteering in Michigan fields when a friend advised him to contact the society. “So I did and they’ve been a big help,� he said.

Are you settling for less, and what is it costing you?

In discussion with retirement planning clients, I’m often reminded that the best outcomes to challenges and opportunities are generally realized after asking the right questions. And since we all only have one shot at living a great life, there’s a fair amount of responsibility I feel in learning how to ask great questions, which hopefully lead to better outcomes.

With that in mind, I wonder if you’ve ever considered asking this simple, yet foundational question of yourself when you’re making financial and general life decisions.

The question is: “What do you really want?”

I’ll ask it again, but with the proper emphasis: “What is it that you really want to have happen?”

When people are choosing among options, whether they be which college you’ll attend, the career you’ll commit to, the lifestyle you’ll lead, or the family life you’ll experience, I find that our most desired

outcome is generally not the one we eventually pursue. In other words, the choices we make are most often clouded by influences that are not of our own choosing.

So again, what is it that you really want to have happen?

In the new Netflix documentary special featuring John Mellencamp, called “Plainly Spoken” (which I highly recommend), he sums up his 65 years of life and 40 years as a performer with this statement: “There is no reward in this world for settling for something you don’t want.”

He’s so adamant that he actually repeats it three times.

And I began to wonder how often you and I are willing to settle for something that is a far cry from what it is that we really want to have happen.

In terms of financial matters, I often hear people say that they want to retire early. “How early?” I ask. Then what I generally hear next is a heavily-censored version of what they really want. The forces that

exist around us almost immediately begin attacking the response that’s authentic, resulting in a desire that’s just a shadow of the real dream.

“Well, I suppose 62 or maybe 65, because health insurance costs, and inflation, and…” To the contrary, I think what they really want to have happen is something more like this: “I don’t want to retire to the beach yet because I do love to work, but be in a position where we no longer need to work full time for money. This would allow us to do work we really love and not have to worry about money when doing it.”

See the difference?

So why do we censor ourselves and settle for less than what we really want?

While I’m not a psychiatrist or a counselor, I have to believe the factors range from fear of failure, to family upbringing, to peer pressure, or any number of other outside forces. Sure, there are realities that need to be contended with, but the fact is that

most people are choosing to live lives that are full of needless comprise and regret because nobody is asking us to question what it is that we really want.

So I’ll ask it again. What is it that you really want to have happen in your life?

And consequently, what is it costing you to settle for less than that? A life of vitality is a life lived fully, with rich relationships, meaningful work, some level of financial security, and belief in something that’s bigger than who we are today.

So consider asking yourself some tough questions and see what happens when you dare to answer.

Mild winter may mean early-blooming wildflowers March can be a windy month, but these are winds that blow away the cold, iciness of winter.

It is a treat to see the ground again.

The bright sunshine of March falls sharp on the tall field grasses, brown lawns and wizened shrubs and trees. March browns are different than the browns of winter because now there is new life in the bare barks and in the roots of the brown grasses, and it makes them more glowing.

Perhaps too, it is the effect of the March sunlight which holds a warmth now that heralds the coming of spring.

When March comes spring is near. But what truly causes spring to come? As the earth travels on its yearly circuit around the sun, there is a period for each hemisphere when it is tilted more toward the sun. When spring comes to Northwest Ohio we are entering the period of that sun-to-

ward tilt. This period is called the “vernal equinox” and I (along with many other gardeners) am very pleased to see it come.

Due to the mild winter temperatures this year, there are wildflower varieties that may be blooming in March. A visit to one of our metroparks or wildlife areas may provide a treat, as visitors may see these varieties blooming well before our gardening season.

One early bloomer is Spring Beauty or Claytonia virginica. This native grows to about 3 to 6 inches tall. Its stems are a light

to reddish green with 2-5-inch long linear, lance-like leaves. Spring Beauty blooms are a display of five petals that are a striking white with fine pink stripes.

A mid sepal is green with distinct stamens and pink anthers. This little gem has a sweet floral scent. Harbinger-of-Spring or Erigenia bulbosa is another early bloomer which grows about 12 inches tall with fern or parsley-like compound leaves growing tenately along the stem. The bloom is a cluster of tiny white petals with red to black anthers. It is sometimes called “pepper and salt” because of the contrast of the white blooms and dark anthers.

Skunk cabbage or Symplocarpus factidus is a very early bloomer. This one has a very unusual appearance. It produces a spadix surrounded by a curved spathe. The growth is very near the ground. The spathe is about 4 to 6 inches long and 2 to 4 inch-

es wide. It tapers to a point at the top and has stripes, spots, or speckles of green and purple. The surface is smooth and one side is open to reveal an inner spadix of pale yellow or dark purple. The small delicate blooms of the plant arise from the spadix.

These are a few early varieties and well worth a March walk in the park or wooded area where you may see these natives before the heavier flora and fauna growth to come.

March garden tips: Prune off any winter damaged areas on trees or shrubs. When yards are clear, clean up leaves, sticks, etc. left by winter snows and storms. If snow persists into March, pile it around any early growth of spring bulbs as this will insulate them from the cold.

If you have garden questions or tips for other gardeners, email dpl3@accesstoledo. com.

Are you really awake or sleepwalking through life?

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

When you are awake, you evaluate situations from different perspectives.

“

While you are asleep at night, you are not aware of what’s going on around you.

But when you get up in the morning, are you really awake? Are you aware of what’s happening around you? Are you aware of how you feel? Are you aware of how you interact with others?

You are not awake when you are sleepwalking. In this state, you have no conscious awareness of your actions, surroundings, or other people. You are in a daze, on automatic pilot, unable to make sound decisions.

Being awake requires you to be fully alert, recognizing what is happening to you, and why. There are many aspects of each day which require your focus. Moving about in a daze causes you to make mistakes, miss out on opportunities, and accomplish much less than you are capable of.

Let’s review some of the many things you can do to stay awake. Each one of these approaches helps keep you energized. Use them as a starting point and add your own strategies which have proven successful.

Let go of stress and worry by taking positive actions, which solve problems, and keep your life on track. Stay proactive by making things happen, instead of waiting for them to happen. When you are awake, you are the driver, not a passenger.

Keep your eyes on the road in order to stay on course.

Being awake means doing the things you enjoy and having fun. When you are happy your energy levels are boosted. This leads to more excitement. When you have more enthusiasm, it’s easier to remain awake. This process is a positive, self-perpetuating and continuous cycle.

Smiling and laughing keeps you awake.

Smiling elevates your mood. Finding the humor, which exists in most situations, boosts your attitude. Being in a good mood gives you a better perspective, which enables you to make sound decisions.

Focus on the positive aspects of your life. Be thankful for all of your blessings.

Acknowledge what you do have, rather than fretting about what you feel is lacking.

Awake people seek out the positive aspects of whatever situations they are dealing with.

When you are awake, you formulate meaningful goals which excite you.

Having a specific direction and destination provides you with purpose. You then look forward to each new day as being filled with opportunity.

Pursuing your interests and engaging in meaningful activities keeps you awake.

Don’t become mired in boredom. Your options are only limited by your imagination.

The world is filled with a vast array of wonderful opportunities. Find one or more endeavors which appeal to you.

When you are awake, you are fully aware of your mental and physical state.

Taking good care of yourself keeps you awake. Both your mind and body require constant attention. Your emotional and physical wellbeing are interconnected.

A positive attitude and outlook, keeping things in their proper perspective, and being solution oriented, all contribute to your emotional wellbeing. Regular exercise, along with a diet which causes you to feel healthy, contributes to your physical wellbeing.

When you are awake, you evaluate situations from different perspectives. Doing so facilitates your ability to make sound decisions. When faced with challenges, looking at a problem from different angles gives you more insight.

Being awake enables you to think before you speak or act. Accurately assessing the cause and effect relationship of whatever you are about to do, allows you to make the best decisions possible.

Take an honest look at how awake you really are. If you determine you are in more of a daze than you should be, commit to making the necessary adjustments which will leave you feeling more awake.

Billionaires won’t save the world - just look at Elon Musk Will Mars save humanity? Or will our savior be billionaire Elon Musk?

Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, humbly believes we don’t have to choose.

Mars will save us, he promises, and Musk himself will engineer this Mars miracle.

In 2019, Musk claims, SpaceX will start making short trips to Mars. By the early 2020s, his company will begin colonizing the Red Planet with a human population.

Why this feverish haste to set foot on interplanetary terra firma?

Musk sees a new “dark age” descending on our precious Earth. Another world war — or some environmental collapse — appears likely to threaten us with extinction, he fears.

Mars strikes Musk as our ideal refuge, the place where humankind will heroically regroup and eventually “bring human civilization back” to our mother planet.

And we can even have some fun in the process. The Mars colony that Musk envisions will have everything from iron foundries to “pizza joints and nightclubs.”

“Mars,” he quips, “should really have great bars.”

Reporters have become accustomed to this sort of visionary whimsy from Musk.

The billionaire, In These Times says, has crafted his image as “a quirky and slightly off-kilter playboy genius inventor capable of conquering everything from outer space to the climate crisis with the sheer force of his imagination.”

This carefully cultivated image has proven extraordinarily lucrative. Investors now value Tesla, his 15-year-old car company, at around $60 billion — not bad, note Wall Street watchdogs Pam and Russ Martens, for a firm that “lost almost $2

Guest Editorial billion last year and has never delivered an annual profit to shareholders.”

But Musk remains supremely confident that his enterprise on Mars will take root and prosper. He’s betting a good chunk of his fortune on that.

Or rather, he’s betting a good chunk of taxpayers’ fortune.

Musk owes his billions, as commentator Kate Aronoff points out, to the billions in direct taxpayer subsidies his companies have received over the years — and the billions more in taxpayer-funded research into rocket technology and other high-tech fields of knowledge.

So Musk is essentially investing our billions in his own pet projects, everything from the Mars gambit to establishing a mass-market niche for high-tech flamethrowers.

None of this is going to rescue humanity anytime soon. Indeed, if Musk really wanted to ensure humankind a sustainable future, he wouldn’t be plotting escapes to Mars or marketing flamethrowers to the masses. He’d be challenging the global economic status quo that’s left him phenomenally rich and our world phenomenally unequal.

This inequality may well pose the greatest threat to our well-being as a species. Stark economic divides invite armed confrontations.

Inequality and conflict, Norwegian

scholars observed last year in a major report for the United Nations and the World Bank, remain “inextricably linked.” They found that “inequality influences the outbreak and dynamics of violent conflict,” going all the way back to the ancient Greeks.

In more recent years, researchers have made great strides in understanding the actual pathways in unequal societies that turn conflict violent. But huge gaps in the research are still frustrating our under-

standing.

What we do know: Hawking high-tech flamethrowers is never going to save humanity. Neither will bar-hopping on Mars.

“

...culmination of a year’s worth of focus and dedication put forth by the members of our local chapter...

“

Top-performing students from Waite High School will attend the Business Professionals of America (BPA) 2018 National Leadership Conference, “Dream Bigger,” in Grapevine, Texas, May 9-13.

Waite chapter members Belle Taylor and Chanyng Fournier will join more than 5,500 conference delegates from across the nation to compete in national-level business skills competitions and attend leadership development, workshops, general sessions, and national officer candidate campaigns and elections.

In addition to having the opportunity to compete on the national stage and learn from leading business professionals, students will experience the cities of Dallas and Grapevine, Texas.

“Attending the National Leadership Conference is not only an honor, but a testament to the hard work that each of these students has put into their school year to excel in business education and training,” said chapter advisor Sara Costello, who teaches the Medical Office Management program. “It is the culmination of a year’s worth of focus and dedication put forth by the members of our local chapter of Business Professionals of America at Waite High School.”

Both Taylor and Fournier competed in the Medical Office Management skills competition at the regional and state levels.

Taylor placed first in the region and second at the state leadership conference. Fournier placed second in the region and ninth at the state leadership conference.

Scholarship honors memory of Sebastian Robert Guerrero III

“

My hope is that this scholarship program will help children be prepared academically, to do well in school and to get a chance to live out their dreams

“

The family of Airman Sebastian Guerrero III formally established the Sebastian Robert Guerrero III Memorial Scholarship on Feb. 28 in the offices of the Educare Academy Child Development Center located at 806 Starr Avenue, Toledo.

On Feb. 28, 2017, the evening of his 21st first birthday, Airman Guerrero was tragically struck while repairing a tire on his vehicle alongside of I-75. “One year after the loss of our son, we would like Sebastian to be remembered for the life he lived and represented,” said his mother Crissy Guerrero. “My hope is that this scholarship program will help children be prepared academically, to do well in school and to get a chance to live out their dreams.”

The scholarship program will be managed by the Educare Academy, in partnership with the Guerrero family.

Kelly Latz, community outreach manager at Educare Academy said, “The scholarship will allow our families and students to have books in support of strong reading skills. Also, funds will be used to provide tutoring services, purchase school supplies

and other academic enrichment activities.

“We are excited to partner with the Sebastian Robert Guerrero Memorial Scholarship and play a small role in honoring a community hero,” Latz said.

Oregon resident receives prestigious award for scholar athletes Alyssa Heintschel, a senior at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, received a $7,500 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship, which recognizes her excellence in academics, athletics, extracurricular activities and community service.

The daughter of Cyndi and Eric Heintschel, of Oregon, she has been a member of Ball State’s women’s soccer team for four years, and captain of the team for three years. With majors in premedical preparation and chemistry and a minor in biology, this fall, she will be entering medical school, with the eventual goal to become a pediatrician.

Poised to graduate summa cum laude in May with a perfect 4.0 GPA, Heintschel has volunteered for more than two years in the emergency department of Ball Memorial Hospital (Muncie), and for the last four summers she has volunteered at Ball State’s Youth Soccer Camp.

On the soccer field, Heintschel set the record for the number of wins by a Ball State goalkeeper, and she is first in the number of goals against average and third in Mid-American Conference (MAC) history. She also became only the second Ball State soccer player ever to be named a first-team Academic All-American by the College Sports Information Directors of America.

In choosing a medical school, Heintschel said she has looked for “an environment of teamwork, community, and collaboration. With my foundation as a student-athlete, I know this is an environment in which I will be able to use my background and experiences to be successful.”

A total of 174 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships are awarded each year, with 29 male and 29 female athletes selected for each sports season. The $7,500 scholarship must be used to support postgraduate studies.

“Win-Win” Mention the word “taxes” and the phrase “win-win” would rarely come to mind for most people.

But that’s how accounting students at Trine University in Angola, Indiana, are describing a new class that allows them students to help low- to moderate-income residents through the dreaded annual task.

Ethan Kirkman, a senior from Oregon, is one of five students in the university’s MGT 493 Voluntary Income Tax Assistance class this semester. Each Wednesday through April 11, the students will work in the Carnegie Public Library of Steuben County to complete tax forms for residents with annual income of $54,000 and below.

Kirkman, who already had 18 credit hours, is taking the class as a volunteer rather than for course credit. “Each client is different in their own way, and it’s good because we get to see taxes from a variety of standpoints,” he said.

Five Waite alumni to be honored

Scholarship deadline extended Terra State Community College’s Workforce Demand Scholarship offers 2018 high school graduates the opportunity to attend class tuition-free if they are pursuing a career in a high-demand job field.

In addition to an education, students will also gain a guaranteed workbased experience.

Terra State Community College will provide up to an associate’s degree tuition-free to students majoring in Computer Systems, Digital Media Technology, Electrical, Health Information Technology, Management (Business, Agribusiness and Hospitality), Manufacturing Engineering, Music Technology, Office Administra-tion, Robotics-Integrated Manufacturing Technology and Welding.

Terra State Community College has extended the deadline to June 15 for 2018 high school graduates to apply for the Workforce Demand Scholarship.

The scholarship will pay the gap between the cost of tuition and general fees and state and federal grants received by the student. “At Terra State, the total cost of tuition and general fees for the fall and spring semesters is $4,926. If a student receives a Pell Grant in the amount of $2,000, your scholarship is the difference in the amount and would be $2,296. However, books and other fees are not covered by the scholarship,”

GPA said Heath Martin, Terra State’s Assistant Vice President for Student and Enrollment Services.

To qualify, a student must be enrolled full-time (12 or more credit hours) for the fall and spring semesters and part-time (six or more credit hours) for the summer semester.

To apply for the scholarship, applicants must: • Graduate from high school in 2018; • Complete the scholarship application by June 15 www.terra.edu/ Scholarshipapplication.html; • Complete the free Federal Application for Federal Student Aid by June 15 at www. terra.edu/AdmissionsandFinancialAid/ FinancialAid.html; • Develop an academic plan, sign a participation contract and register for classes by June 15.

“A recipient of the Workforce Demand Scholarship will need to enroll full-time at Terra State and attend consecutive fall and spring terms,” Martin said. “Students will have to maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade point average and have a course completion rate of 68 percent. Students also have the option of enrolling in summer school.” Recipients will lose all benefits if they stop taking classes and resume at a later date.

Daughter raising funds for LLS

By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com “When life gives you lemons…”

Yep. Heard that one. But, what if life serves you a loved one who has to battle cancer? Well, for one young lady, she decided to give back.

Taylor Dulinski, a sophomore at Notre Dame Academy, along with her twin brother, Drew, a sophomore at St. Francis de Sales High School and her parents, Kim and Tom, were given unsettling news in May 2016, when her father was diagnosed with Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma.

According to Kim, the battle against the brain tumor is continuing for Tom. He is in his second round of remission and is currently undergoing chemotherapy every month.

“He is in remission since his last scan came in clean,” Kim said. “He will get chemotherapy monthly through September.

Then doctors will make a decision on what to do next.”

Kim heard about the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) from a social worker at the Cleveland Clinic, where Tom is being treated.

“At first, I used the LLS website for education,” Kim said. “I was trying to get as much information about the disease, treatments and clinical trials that I could. They also have online support groups.”

Kim eventually found that the LLS also offers grants to help pay for travel expenses and insurance premiums.

“We have received both grants and it has been a great help to us,” she said. “As a family, we really wanted to help the LLS fight blood cancers and to help other families with grants.”

The LLS has a Student of the Year (SOY) program. The national fundraising program has been run for a few years, but this year is the first time it is being held in the Toledo area, Kim said.

“The fundraising competition began Feb. 21 and ends April 14 with a party at Shorty’s Barbecue,” Kim said. “Every dol-

lar raised is a ‘vote’ for the candidate to be SOY. Taylor has a goal of $16,000 and is working hard to reach that.”

The SOY wins a $2,500 scholarship to the college of his or her choice.

Taylor is hoping to attend John Carroll University to study pre-med. She is hoping to work as Taylor and Tom Dulinski an emergency room physician.

“Taylor is very excited and she wanted to do this,” Kim said. “She knows how hard it is to deal with everything and everything we have gone through. She wants to create awareness about the LLS and raise funds to help other families in the area.”

Taylor has already held fundraisers at Chipotle, Texas Roadhouse, Granite City and at Notre Dame. Eighty-six percent of the money raised goes to research and to helping families through grants.

“My dad had lymphoma and they gave to my family,” Taylor said. “I just wanted to do something and it is great to be able give back. I feel so much better doing something.”

Taylor added that local businesses have also donated yoga and photography services as well as Cedar Point tickets to be auctioned.

Classic Style Barbershop, 4608 Woodville Rd., Northwood and Future Wave Hair Salon, 3324 Navarre Ave., Oregon, have also been holding fundraisers, Taylor said.

“It has been great that local businesses have also donated,” she said. “This is a great local cause that helps families directly. You know where the money is going and I feel good raising money for that.”

Taylor is holding a fundraiser at Rayz Cafe, 608 Main St. in Genoa, Monday, April 9, from 5-9:39 p.m. Rayz will donate 10 percent of the food sales towards Taylor’s SOY campaign.

Hear All The Cheers

Building walls Grace Blandin, Sydney Schauwecker and Ally Crofts (front) and Jimmy Urias, Griffin Pollock and Matt Pindoley were among 22 Lake High School students and parents who joined other community members March 17 at Loop Park in Walbridge to build wall panels for a Habitat for Humanity home being constructed in the village. The Lake Students in Action club also hosted a stud fundraiser, which raised more than $300 to fund the upcoming build. Construction on the home will begin in April. Visit wchabitat.org for details.

Kachmarik, Plantz repeat as Coach, Player of the Year

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Genoa 6-foot-3 junior Jacob Plantz and Cardinal Stritch coach Jamie Kachmarik will repeat as the Alan Miller Jewelers AllPress Player of the Year and Coach of the Year.

Both represent teams that won league championships and advanced to the Division III district tournament. Stritch reached the district final, losing 74-65 to eventual regional finalist Archbold.

For the Comets, winning a league title was important, but the Comets wanted to get a long tournament run, and did reach the district tournament, where they lost to Stritch for the second straight year. This year, the Cardinals prevailed 59-53.

“As far as the season goes, winning the conference championship was one of our goals, but as we stated earlier in the preseason, we wanted to do that and have a healthy tournament run,” Genoa coach Zach Alt said. “Getting out of the sectional against a quality league opponent like Rossford (in the sectional) was positive — they were a team we had seen twice already.”

Plantz, an Associated Press Division III Third Team All-Ohioan, averaged 20.2 points, including 12.6 points in the paint.

He brought down six rebounds per game, along with 2.5 assists, two deflections, and 2.2 steals.

The Northern Buckeye Conference POY, Plantz shot 47.8 percent from the field and 71.4 percent from the free throw line and reached the 1,000 career scoring mark with one year of prep basketball remaining.

Plantz is joined on the first team by his teammate, 6-5 junior post Andrew Bench.

Bench averaged 13.8 points, including 9.8 in the paint. He pulled down 7.1 rebounds to go with one assist, 1.1 deflections, one steal and had 1.5 blocks per game. Bench

also shot 55 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from behind the arc and 67.6 percent from the line.

Plantz and Bench have managed to put

up those kind of numbers despite defenses keying on them all season.

“You see more help side defense oriented toward those two, but it’s kind of

been that way since five or six games in,” Alt said. “We’ve tried to stay ahead of it whether we’re facing a zone, box and one, triangle and two, or even if they are just sitting guys in the paint. We have to be creative on how we structure those guys to get quality shots.”

Plantz and Bench are not the only two juniors on this team that are making things happen. There are six players who will be seniors next year, and Alt is looking forward to that. The others are 5-10 Caleb McGeorge, 5-9 Jacob Bradfield, 6-1 Joey Dominique, and 6-1 Nate Lewis.

“That whole group of juniors, with Dominique, Lewis, Bradfield, and McGeorge — they all bring something different to the table, but first and foremost, they are asked to defend and rebound, and they do that. Some of them find their way to the rim and some stretch the floor for us shooting the basketball,” Alt said.

Two of Alt’s seniors, 6-0 Josiah Bradfield and 5-10 Noah Edwards, also received some kind of All-Press recognition, even though they did not put up big numbers. They are athletic and have found other ways to contribute and are being recognized for that.

“Josiah, we’ve leaned on him to score a little more than last year,” Alt said.

“Noah has taken a lead role in guarding the other team’s point guard and if we are going to be disruptive on the defensive end, he is going to be a key part of that. He’s done that and along with rebounding, and I think every ball team wants to have one or two pure hustle-play guys, and he’s that guy for us. He always seemed to be a ball magnet in those big moments, you know.

He might only get two or four (steals), but those big tournament games, sometimes all of those are all you need.”

FAST Series has bigger payouts

By Brian Liskai Special to The Press Liskai2x@roadrunner.com The 10th season of the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads FAST 410 Championship Series presented by Ohio Logistics and the eighth season of the JLH General Contractor FAST 305 Championship Series presented by Engine Pro will feature high paying events and some new tracks in 2018. The majority of the events will be contested at the series home tracks of Attica Raceway Park (9 dates) and Fremont Speedway (10 dates).

“We’re excited for the 410 FAST teams to get to race not only at Attica and Fremont for a majority of their point events but for the first time compete at Millstream Speedway in Findlay and two events at Sharon Speedway. We are also excited to be a part of the growth of the Summer Sizzler in July at Waynesfield Raceway Park,” said Rich Farmer, FAST Series Owner.

“Honestly we had to turn down some tracks but we will revisit their ideas next year,” Farmer added.

guards, 5-10 junior Jordan Burton and 6-2 sophomore Joey Holifield. Holifield is D-III special mention All-Ohio.

Burton averaged 14.8 points, five rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.1 steals and shot 45.9 percent from the field, 38.6 percent from behind the arc and 75.3 percent from the line. Holifield, the Toledo Area Athletic Conference POY, averaged 16.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.2 steals, plus he shot 57.3 percent from the field, 45 percent from three-point territory and 77.5 percent from the charity stripe.

The fifth first team All-Press selection is Eastwood 6-5 senior post Tyler Haas, who averaged 13.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.5 assists. Haas will play baseball next year at Bowling Green State University, where his grandfather, Gary, is enshrined in the college’s athletic hall of fame for his play on the diamond.

Plantz won the POY honor in voting by 10 area coaches and 10 media members, getting three more votes than both Burton and Holifield, who cancelled each other out. Combined, the Stritch guards would

The JLH General Contractor FAST 305 Championship Series presented by Engine Pro will compete in 23 events at six different tracks in 2018.

“The exciting thing about the FAST 305 series this year is over half the shows will pay a minimum of $1,000 to win.

Again that is thanks to the support of the marketing partners and the cooperation and backing of the tracks,” Farmer noted.

The All Pro FAST 410 series kicks off Friday, April 6 as the opening night of the Core & Main Spring Nationals and will pay $5,000 to the feature winner. FAST will make 9 appearances at Attica in 2018 with 10 shows scheduled at Fremont Speedway.

The series makes its first ever appearance at Millstream Speedway in Findlay on May 6 as part of a triple-header that includes May 4 at Attica and May 5 at Fremont.

“Shane (Helms, Millstream promoter) called and wanted to have a type of Ohio state championship event. Teams from other tracks around the state will be invited to this FAST sanctioned event and it should be a lot of fun to see who comes out on top,” Farmer said.

Also getting votes were Bench, Clay 6-0 junior guard Reese Wamer and Woodmore senior guard Mitchell Miller. Miller and Haas are both honorable mention all-state.

The Coach of the Year, Kachmarik, led Stritch to a 23-2 season and the school’s first-ever league championship in boys basketball. The Cardinals were a perfect 14-0 in the league, defeating Division IV regional qualifier Maumee Valley twice. Their only regular season loss was to Central Catholic.

By season’s end, Stritch was ranked sixth in the state and Genoa ninth, but the Cardinals prevailed in a district semifinal matchup at Central Catholic’s Sullivan Center.

Kachmarik had four more votes than Woodmore coach Aaron Clouse, who led his team to a 17-7 season and were a surprise contender in the NBC after being picked to finish near the bottom of the standings.

Also getting votes was Oak Harbor coach Eric Sweet. Under Sweet, Oak Harbor went from four to eight to 19 wins in each of the last three seasons.

Achter trying to get spark going at Loyola

By Bruce Hefflinger Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

Kyle Bonis

Bonis nets Player of Week honors Toledo Walleye forward Kyle Bonis is the Sher-Wood Athletics Group ECHL Player of the Week for March 12-18. It is the second time in his career that he has received the weekly honor.

Bonis was dominating over the past week, scoring four goals to go along with three assists and was a plus five in four road games for the Walleye. He started the week with a goal and an assist in a 3-2 win at Quad City on Wednesday and followed that up with another goal in Friday’s 3-2 win at the Mallards. Saturday night in Indy, the 29 year old scored the game tying goal late in the third period and followed that up with the overtime game-winning strike 16 seconds in for a 4-3 win. He finished the week with an assist in a 4-1 win.

Bonis is currently second on the Walleye in scoring with 48 points, while leading the team with 24 goals.

Bonis has appeared in 166 games for Toledo since 2014 and he ranks fifth alltime in scoring with 143 points. His 80 goals are second most in Walleye history (Evan Rankin 111). Despite playing in only nine games last year for the Walleye, the Lindsay, Ontario native picked up 11 points (6G, 5A) including being named ECHL Player of the Week with five points (3G, 2A) in the first week of the season. In his career, Bonis has also skated in 101 career AHL games with 15 goals and nine assists, including appearing in 52 games for the Rochester Americans with 10 goals and two assists last season and five games this year in Iowa.

In four years at Ferris State (20092013), Bonis picked up 47 goals and 30 assists over 136 total games played. As a senior in 2012-13 he scored 19 goals, was Second Team for the Senior CLASS Award and was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award. He helped the Bulldogs win a CCHA regular season championship in the 2011-12 season with a college high 31 points (19G, 12A).

On behalf of Kyle Bonis, a case of pucks will be donated to a Toledo youth hockey organization by Sher-Wood Athletics Group, the exclusive puck supplier of the ECHL.

There is a spark all over campus. The 11th-seeded Ramblers of Loyola University Chicago men’s basketball team is in the Sweet 16.

“It’s wild,” noted Kate Achter after Loyola beat sixth-seed Miami and thirdseeded Tennessee to reach the field of 16.

“Everybody is excited. Everybody is trying to find a way to Atlanta.”

Unfortunately, Achter was unable to attend Thursday’s game with Nevada.

Instead, the Clay High School graduate had visits from potential recruits.

After all, Achter is the women’s basketball coach at Loyola trying to bring the same feeling to the school as this year’s men’s team.

“For a campus that is more academically known than athletically, everything shut down to watch them play,” Achter said of the first two rounds of the tournament. “That’s a credit to the men’s coach (Porter Moser) and the culture created. It’s reminiscent of my Bowling Green days.”

Achter, who played for her father Roger Achter at Clay, was a four-year starting point guard that led three BGSU teams to the NCAA Tournament, including a 2007 squad that reached the Sweet 16.

“Without my experience at BG, I would not have pursued college coaching,” the 2008 Bowling Green graduate admitted. “My experience there is why I pursued a career at this level.”

After one year playing pro ball in Greece, Achter returned to her alma mater as a graduate assistant on the strength and conditioning staff before spending five years in the women’s basketball program at St. Bonaventure, including two as an associate head coach. The Bonnies made three postseason appearances in her time at the school, including a 31-win season that culminated in advancing to the third round of the NCAA Tournament in 2012.

She moved on to a role as an assistant at Xavier in the 2015-16 season, helping that squad to a 17-13 record before the opportunity to build her own program was presented at Loyola.

“Kate Achter is one of the rising stars in college basketball and we are all thrilled to have her as our new head women’s basketball coach,” Loyola Director of Athletics Steve Watson said back on July 19, 2016 when she was hired.

The late date of the hiring, however, made recruiting tough. But that was far from the most difficult aspect of leading the Loyola women’s program at the time.

Three months prior to naming Achter to take over the basketball team, Loyola was dealing with accused mistreatment of players by the prior head coach. There had been 15 players request transfers in a twoyear period, including 10 in 2016. With one player graduating after the 2015-16 campaign, it left the program with just two players when Achter arrived.

By the time season one at Loyola came, the newly-hired head coach had a roster of 10 - five below the average Division I roster size. A 2-20 rebuilding season took place.

The rebuilding is far from over.

Four more players left the program after year one, leaving Achter with 12 players for this past season. And all this taking place in a program that had little success even prior to the disarray inherited by Achter.

Loyola-Chicago coach Kate Achter. (Photo courtesy LUC Athletics) Looking for first NCAA berth There has never been a berth in the NCAA Tournament and the only winning season this century came in 2012-13. That year, while in the Horizon League, the Ramblers were runners-up in the league tournament for just the second time ever the other coming in 1987.

Still, Achter wanted to be head coach, to which she credits influence from her father.

“Without my dad, I say it almost every day … I appreciate what he did for me,” Achter related. “The tough love, the tears, the hugs … the things that go on in a daughter and father relationship.”

But there is more.

“His influence has impacted this program with tough love,” Achter said.

It is what the 32-year-old is instilling at Loyola, helped out by a Clay connection.

“It’s great to bounce Xs and Os off of him,” Achter continued about her father.

“Kevin Crosson (a former assistant under Achter at Clay, who went on to replace Achter as the girls head coach in 2011 and remains at the school as the head girls golf coach) came up with my dad and helped me put in some out-of-bounds plays this year. We continued on talking for hours about how to help players. I love my dad so much and I wouldn’t be here without him.”

It has made building the program at Loyola easier.

“As you learn to be a good head coach, it’s a difficult process in itself,” Achter explained. “When you have to build it from scratch, it just multiplies how difficult it can be.”

By year two, the program is making strides.

“We have a culture and we have expectations,” Achter noted. “That makes things easier.”

The 2017-18 edition finished the season with five more wins than the year before, going 7-23 overall and 5-13 in the Missouri Valley Conference.

“Truthfully, I’m the happiest seven-

win coach in the country,” Achter said.

“We tripled our win total from a year prior, we improved in every statistical category and we had a player (Abby O’Connor) make the conference all-freshman team. We’ve laid a foundation to win 10 games in the future, that’s what year two was about. You can see success materializing.”

It has Achter excited about her job more than ever.

“The way I’ve seen kids grow as young adults is the most rewarding thing,” Achter said. “To see the struggles and then find success, it’s a process. Now they care about their teammates. It’s why I became a coach.

“As a head coach you impact so many areas of players’ lives, it’s so rewarding to see them grow as women.”

But the challenge is far from over.

“We still have to grow the roster, we’re still going to be young for another year,” pointed out Achter. “It’s going to be a challenge, but we’ve got a sophomore group (next season) that can take us to the next step.”

Still, questions remain.

“Can we improve the culture?” Achter asked. “The culture is always a work in progress. Until you have an upper class group that can lead, I have to be the voice of culture. But right now we have a group that’s working at it and they care about each other.

They’re ready to take a leap as a group.”

Seeing the success of this year’s men’s team gives even more hope to the Loyola women’s program.

“His senior group, when they came to the program, he sold them on the same things we’re now doing,” Achter said. “You have an opportunity to compete and to change the program. It’s eerie how similar the programs are. My girls get along so well with the men’s team, it’s easy to root for them.”

And who knows, perhaps follow in their footsteps, as Achter concluded.

“I’ve been preaching to my freshmen that this is attainable if you invest and believe.”

Nothing will stop Paul Loomis from playing his hockey game

By Jeffrey D. Norwalk Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Nine-year-old Williston resident Paul Loomis has fallen in love with hockey.

The younger brother of Ben Loomis, a centerman/winger for the Bowling Green Youth Hockey Association’s Pee Wee House and All-Star teams who has been playing hockey since the age of six, Paul looked up to his older brother.

An avid fan of the Detroit Red Wings, Paul’s favorite player is Mike Green, an offensive-minded defenseman most known for his heavy slapshot, his clutchness when the game is on the line, and his grit, fearlessness, and toughness, the latter three of which Paul tends to emulate on the ice.

Paul loves ice hockey so much you’ll most likely find him spending his free time, once his homework is done, skating, slapping the puck around, and going oneon-one with Ben on the family’s backyard rink. Their father, Brian, a volunteer firefighter/EMT for the Allen Clay Joint Fire District- freezes over the rink for the boys every winter.

A fourth grader at Genoa Elementary who also loves social studies, performing in the school play, and playing golf, Paul Loomis was born with cerebral palsy. It is a neurological disorder that can attack seemingly-innate body mechanics the rest of us probably take for granted like movement, coordination, reflexes, muscle tone, posture, balance, and various motor skills.

CP affects Paul’s left side. This causes him to be slightly weaker on that side and to walk with a limp due to those muscles and tendons being tight. Still, thanks to a lot of his toughness, a bit of ingenuity, and regular visits to see orthopedist Dr. Jeffrey Ackman at Shriners Hospital for Children in Chicago Paul has been able to continue his lifelong love affair with hockey.

Paul gets his left leg casted pretty much once a year to help stretch the tendons in that ankle and foot, and wears an AFO -an ankle-foot orthosis support on the foot to keep it at a 90-degree angle to his leg, Thanks to a special needs hockey team based out of Bowling Green, the Black Swamp Ice Frogs, Paul gets to play organized hockey.

“Paul’s been playing hockey for quite awhile now, and I think he’s been playing with the Black Swamp Ice Frogs ever since the very start of the program,” shares Brian of his youngest’s long run with the Ice Frogs.

The Frogs’ coach and longtime friend of BG youth hockey, Mike Howick, in 2012

started the team as an outlet for his own son, who has autism spectrum disorder.

“Due to Paul’s leg, and the way he skated at the time, we were told that he couldn’t play on the BGYHA team because he used figure skates and used the toe pick to push himself down the ice, much like a skateboard rider,” adds Loomis, of the BGYHA regulation that prohibits the use of toe picks in organizational play.

“I don’t quite remember how we learned about the Ice Frogs, but I think it may have been via a team flyer,” he says.

“We were just excited to have found a way for Paul to play hockey, and still be able to use the toe pick.

“Last year, he transitioned to regular hockey skates, and that was an adventure, but he adapted pretty well,” says Loomis with awe. “It’s pretty crazy how well kids adapt. We see it as a disability, but he doesn’t. He just wants to play hockey, and he figured it out on his own.”

Even though the Ice Frogs as a team don’t keep track of wins, losses, goals, and assists, if you were to ask No. 81 in Ice Frog purple and green, that’s Paul Loomis, how many times he’s found the back of the net this year, he’d probably be more than happy to tell you.

Oh, and by the way, that number of goals for Paul so far this year is nine.

“Paul’s first goal was the squeal that was heard around Toledo!” interjects proud papa Brian. “It was awesome. But, there have been so many special moments from our time around hockey that it’s hard to narrow down.

“Paul has played on the Toledo Walleye ice, and on the Columbus Blue Jackets’ ice, both of which were also special,” says Loomis. “But, the outdoor rink at Ottawa Park this year was special for me as well. A light snow was falling. The rink lights were on. It was just magical to see not only my kid, but all the special needs players out there in that atmosphere, just playing hockey and having fun.

“Paul just loves playing, and wants to be out on the ice any chance he can get,” he says. “He loves the new jerseys we received this year, and thinks it makes him look more like a real hockey player. Through hockey, he’s learning about working as a team, and helping out others. But, one of the biggest things hockey has done for Paul, without him even knowing it, is taught him that if you fall down, you get right back up. The puck is still moving, and the play is still going on. It’s the same as in any other sport, and in life. You fall down, you get back up, and you get back in the game.”

For four years, Eli thrived as BGSU’s student-manager

“

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

Those girls are harder workers than any other students at the school.

“

Connor Eli will be taking memories and friendships with him.

The Genoa native and Oak Harbor alum completed his four-year tenure as one of the managers of the Bowling Green State University women’s basketball team this season.

Eli, 22, is a senior at BGSU who is majoring in broadcast journalism. He is the fourth member of his family to attend BGSU, the others being his parents, Art and Rebecca, as well as his sister, Simone. Art, who retired as a parole office, played baseball for the Falcons, and Simone, who works at WIAT Chennel 42 television in Birmingham, Alabama, played basketball for the Falcons.

Now that his time with the women’s basketball team has come to an end, Eli can reflect on his time on how it has impacted his life.

“It’s been great. Just thinking about it, it doesn’t feel like it’s over. There’s been so many happy and sad moments, there’s so much to choose from,” said Eli. “It’s so surreal. To be a part of this team and to have made the friendships that I have has been a blessing. It’s made such a huge impact on my life. I feel like there’s so much I’ve gone through over these last four years.

“It all started with my sister. Simone gave me the opportunity to be a part of this team because she knew Coach (Jennifer) Roos. It was special for her when she was at BGSU. Having a mom and dad that love BG, we just want to keep (the tradition) going. I’m honored and blessed to have had the opportunity to be here — it’s about the memories I made and the experiences I had with the girls. I’m thankful and grateful to be part of these teams. Throw all the wins and losses away, it’s about being with the girls how special it made me feel to be part of the team.”

For his efforts, he was honored on Senior Night.

“Senior Night was such a big night. It wasn’t even about the gifts, just the love shown (to us). Everything made sense. It was

that feeling of true happiness,” said Eli. “In life, you look for these moments, and you can’t really prepare for it until what’s going on at that exact time. Getting your name called and everyone standing up and clapping. The fans, boosters, players, coaches, I can’t put into words how I felt that night.”

Eli learned to appreciate the work the BGSU players put in to become better.

“Those girls are harder workers than any other students at that school. It’s about how much they care and their passion for the game. I think what’s so special about Coach Roos is she wouldn’t just bring in players, she’d bring in good student-athletes. They were respectful and honest, that’s what made our team like a family,” he said. “When you bring in athletes, it’s not just about your ability to play. It’s what goes on off the court. These girls deserve more than what they have.”

Eli recalls a few special moments, going to California during his freshman season and visiting the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts last year.

“The trips we’ve been on have been great,” he said. “There have been some amazing opportunities.”

Eli says his job as manager was like being a sixth man who takes part in practice. The role of being a manager requires filming practices and helping with travel arrangements.

He is set to graduate in May and will continue working for WTOL, where he currently films weekend sports action.

Joe Wyant’s Eagles plan to keep the momentum going

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Eastwood fielded an average (recordwise) softball team three years ago, but things have changed.

Coach Joe Wyant’s Eagles reached the Division III district finals in 2016, losing to Archbold by one run. Last season, 10th-ranked Eastwood made it to the regional finals before losing to fourth-ranked Cardington-Lincoln, 4-0.

Wyant, in his 11th season, doesn’t take anything for granted. He will concede, however, that this year’s team has its sights set on reaching the final four. The Eagles, who finished 28-4 last season, have won 31 straight Northern Buckeye Conference games and five NBC titles in the last 10 years.

“We will be disappointed if we don’t win the league,” Wyant said, adding that Otsego and Elmwood are the Eagles’ two main threats in the NBC. “Hopefully, we go farther (than last season). You always want to make it to state. We talk about it. They all want to go to state and that’s their expectation. Anybody can beat us one game.”

Eastwood traveled to Cocoa Beach, Fla., on Monday for a chance to play five games in four days in the Sunshine State.

The Eagles’ baseball team also made the trip to Florida. The softball team, however, made the trip without the services of junior catcher Maddie Recker.

Recker, who batted .358 with 35 runs and 20 RBI last year, is a two-time allconference catcher who earned all-district honors last season. Wyant said Recker will miss the season after having shoulder surgery for a partially torn labrum. Outfielder Megan Melcher, a three-year starter who saw spot duty behind the plate last year, takes over for Recker. Melcher batted .323 with 31 runs and 24 RBI last season.

“It’s a big loss, but Megan will do a fine job,” Wyant said. “She’s been a big contributor at the plate the last two years.

Maddie hurt her shoulder last October and it’s been bothering her. Megan is aggressive and hard-nosed. Whatever she lacks in talent she will make up with her effort.”

Eastwood first team All-Ohio pitcher Ashley Hitchcock, from last year's historic season. (Press file photo by Russ Lytle/Facebook.com/RussLytle/RHP) Junior pitcher Ashley Hitchcock returns for her third season as Eastwood’s ace. Hitchcock, who went 25-3 with an 0.88 ERA last year, earned first-team All-Ohio honors as a sophomore. She struck out 320 batters and walked 39 in 167.3 innings last season.

“She’s gotten a little bit faster,” Wyant said, “and her change-up has gotten a little bit better. No matter what team, the No. 1 thing you need to have to be a very good team is pitching. Our season’s built around pitching. That’s every team’s No. 1 concern.

Ashley is very good and she works very hard at it.”

The Eagles also return NBC Player of the Year Alissa Ray, a junior first baseman and a three-year starter. Ray hit .552 with 48 runs, 35 RBI, 29 walks and 10 doubles a year ago. She also homered twice and had a .688 on-base percentage en route to being named second-team All-Ohio.

“She’s going to have a hard time topping last year,” Wyant said. “When you bat .552, that’s tough to beat. Everything went right for her last year, and she’s a great hit-

ter and a solid first baseman.”

Junior third baseman Carleigh Coffield and junior second baseman Hannah Owens are both three-year starters. Coffield batted .385 with 34 RBI and 30 runs last season, while Owens batted .382 with 25 RBI and 26 runs.

“Carleigh is a very solid third baseman,” Wyant said. “She’s been first-team all-league the last two years and I expect her to have another good season. She has to pick up a little more slack on the hitting side with Recker being out, but she’s capable.

“Hannah has gotten much better offensively, but her defense is where she shines.

She was our defensive player of the year last year. She had only one error the whole season, and she has real nice range at second.”

Senior Maddy Dyer returns at shortstop after batting .328 with 23 runs and 10 RBI last season. Dyer was an all-district third baseman in D-II as a sophomore at Upper Sandusky.

“She was very good last year,” Wyant said. “Defensively, she was very good but she didn’t hit to her potential at all. She’s a player who definitely has to pick up the slack of losing Recker. She can be a .500 batter.”

The Eagles’ outfielders are junior left fielder Carmen Bejarano, junior center fielder Ana Smith and sophomore right fielder Sam Rost. Bejarano lettered the last two years and was a part-time starter last season.

“She’s small, quick and fast and she’s a very good hitter,” Wyant said.

Smith lettered as a freshman while mostly playing as a pinch runner and on defense.

“We had someone DH for her last year, but she’s going to have to hit this year,” Wyant said. “She’s really quick. Her hitting has gotten much better and she’s an excellent outfielder.”

Rost played right field last season and hit .307 with 19 runs and 14 RBI. She and Bejarano were often used interchangeably in the outfield.

“Sam has an excellent glove and she’s a very solid player,” Wyant said.

Church Worship Guide Deadline: Thursday 11:00 am

Inspirational Message of the Week: Spiritual Maturity Just as we grow and develop physically and mentally, we should do so spiritually as well. Children grow and learn in relation to their parents in much the same way that we grow and learn in relation to God. We go from being completely dependent on our parents to being an integral part of our family, helping with chores and supporting each other, and in the process, we should also grow in love and appreciation for our parents and siblings. As children of God we will always remain dependent on God, but we should also mature to the point where we are “pulling our weight” in the spiritual realm. Spiritually mature persons will take the initiative to pray and do good works without having to be

Oregon

persuaded by others. They are also willing and able to accept hard truths about their own failings and will work diligently to improve. The spiritually mature strive to become more like God, and to judge others not by their outward appearances but by their inner attributes.

They are painfully aware of their own tendency to judge others more harshly than they judge themselves and consequently will be merciful in their judgement of others. “Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.” —1 Peter 2:1-3 NIV

Wildlife investigator lauded State Wildlife Investigator Brian Bury, assigned to the Lake Erie Unit, has been named Wildlife OfďŹ cer of the Year by Wildlife OfďŹ cer Lodge 143, of the Fraternal Order of Police of the State of Ohio, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).

Bury was nominated along with six other Ohio wildlife ofďŹ cers and investigators.

A ďŹ eld training ofďŹ cer, he frequently works with wildlife ofďŹ cers from around the state. For many years, he organized the Sandusky County River clean-up in the City of Fremont. In addition, he led an investigation against a commercial ďŹ shing company that that yielded three separate convictions, $3,000 in ďŹ nes and a 20-day suspension of company operations.

Bury started his career with ODNR in 1997, where he held several seasonal and intern positions. In 2003, he graduated from the state wildlife ofďŹ cer training academy and was assigned to Sandusky County.

He served in Sandusky County for 10 years before being promoted to his current post as state wildlife investigator in 2013.

Pastor Cooper said.
