Rep. says

Voters should decide county sales, use tax hikes By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A bill requiring boards of county commissioners to receive voter approval before enacting an increase on a county sales or use tax has had one hearing in the state legislature. In recent testimony to the House State and Local Government Committee, Rep. Niraj Antani, R – Miami Township, said he is sponsoring HB 92 to allow voters to be heard on tax matters at the county level. Currently, all Ohio counties and eight transit authorities levy local sales and use taxes at rates of 0.5 percent to 1.5 percent. The local taxes ‘piggy-back’ on the state sales tax. Two state statutes determine whether a vote is required. Under one statute, a tax of up to 1 percent may be levied to raise general fund revenue, pay for courts and other criminal justice services or fund a regional transportation improvement project without the say of voters, according to an analysis of the bill by the Legislative Service Commission. Under another statute, a tax of up to 0.5 percent may be levied for funding one or a combination of several services or proj-

Northwood Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying the driver of a red Jeep at a gas station on Woodville Road that was next door to a used car dealership, the scene of a murder nearly 23 years ago. Michael Bollman, who was the Car Corral’s finance manager, was shot multiple times on Dec. 20, 1996, at approximately noon. He was working alone at the time of the murder, which happened to be his 26th birthday. The case has grown cold since then. The Jeep in the photo was parked at the Fuel Mart gas station next door. It was facing the Car Corral, which was located at Earl Street and Woodville Road. The photo was taken the day of the murder by Dave Barnes, from the Bureau of Criminal Investigation. “I think the driver knows something,” said Northwood Det. T. Barrett, who has been investigating the case. “The driver may have seen something, or overheard some conversation.” The police have identified the owners of all the other vehicles in the photo. “You can see people sitting in all of the vehicles. We know who they are,” said Barrett. “The police actually interviewed all those people.” But police never learned the identity of the driver of the red Jeep, which is missing a front license plate. “It’s missing the front plate because it’s a dealership car,” said Barrett. Police Chief Tom Cairl said the driver of the Jeep may have spotted something but is unaware of its significance. “The driver of the Jeep may have seen something that they never realized was important back in the day,” said Cairl. “Someone might know something and should come forward so we get closure for Michael Bollman’s family.”

or any one purpose other than general fund revenue or distressed watershed districts. Boards of commissioners have the option of placing the tax before voters even if not required to do so and the law allows voters to try to repeal rate increases through the referendum process. Under HB 92, all rate increases proposed in a resolution adopted on or after the bill’s effective date would be subject to prior voter approval. In testimony last month to the State and Local Government Committee, Antani said citizens should have a voice in local taxes and cited a recent decision by the commissioners in Montgomery County, his home district, to increase the county sales tax without citizens having a chance to vote on it. School boards, townships and municipalities must place tax levies on the ballot for approval, he said. “This bill would leave the question of tax increases up to voters, the ones who would be paying the tax, and the ones who should have a voice in the matter,” Antani told the committee. HB 92 is similar to a bill Antani introduced last fall that didn’t make it out of committee prior to the end of the legislaContinued on page 2

ture’s 2018 session. It drew opposition from the County Commissioners Association of Ohio as well as commissioners from Gallia, Shelby, Richland and Wood counties. The Wood County commissioners said the bill would increase costs for county taxpayers to pay for elections and state law already requires two public hearings be held prior to a rate increase. Counties also need flexibility to adjust revenue sources, they said to the committee. “Counties face significant expenses today to combat the opioid epidemic. They also face challenges related to an evolving retail environment that is increasingly based on internet sales rather than brick and mortar stores. The costs of road and bridge maintenance and construction are an ever increasing burden. Being able to adjust revenue sources to provide the greatest level of service to taxpayers is vitally important,” their testimony says. Jon Honeck, senior policy analyst for the commissioners association, told the committee last year the current process is “working well and has been tested by decades of experience.” “County commissioners have done the best they can to manage budgets through difficult economic times and dwindling state revenue sharing. Commissioners will take responsibility for all of the difficult fiscal decisions they have to make. Current law strikes a balance between commissioners’ authority to raise sales taxes and giving the public a check on that authority,” he said. J. Todd Smith, R- Germantown, is a co-sponsor of HB 92.

Crime of passion Bollman was shot in the face, head and neck with a small caliber firearm, according to the Wood County coroner’s office. Toxicology test results for alcohol and drugs were negative. He was standing when he was gunned down, said Barrett. His killer escaped amid the bustling lunch crowd traffic and last minute Christmas shoppers on Woodville Road. Police at the time had expected witnesses to come forward and the crime to be solved, particularly since it was not a typical murder committed under the shroud of darkness or in an obscure location. But that hasn’t been the case. The murder took place between 11:30 a.m. and 12:20 p.m. Police arrived at the scene after receiving a call from one of the dealership’s owners, Ali Sayed, at 12:20 p.m. Ali, who found the body, was at a title agency with an employee at the time of the murder. Barrett believes the murder was a crime of passion, since Bollman was shot multiple times and nothing was stolen. “He was a clean-cut guy. There was nothing in his system. There was nothing in his car. There was nothing in his briefcase on his desk. There was nothing in his apartment,” said Barrett. “This screams crime of passion.” “I have some ideas, but because of a lack of evidence, I can’t go anywhere with it just yet,” said Barrett. The killer’s clothing had to have a lot of blood spatter from the shooting, said Barrett. The killer’s vehicle also likely had blood in it. Chief Cairl said Det. John Kersker is working with Barrett on the case. He said Kersker was not in Northwood at the time of the murder, and will be a fresh set of eyes as he delves into the case. “He’s still reviewing the case file, with a new approach, a different angle from what other detectives have had over the years,” said Cairl. Barrett said it was important for someone who has no knowledge of the case to look at the file.

This is not something I want to run on with just one opinion,” said Barrett. High spirits John Bollman, Michael’s father, could not be reached for comment. In an interview with The Press for a story that appeared in the newspaper’s Dec. 28, 1998 edition, he expressed his desire for a witness to step forward to solve the case. “I don’t know if anyone heard gunshots because it happened in the winter, and everyone had their windows rolled up,” Bollman said in the article. “It was five days before Christmas, and people were paying attention to getting where they were going, not spending a lot of time looking around. It probably happened in a matter of a couple seconds, then it was over. It would have been nice if someone had seen something, and the case could be over.” Mr. Bollman said he had wished his son a happy birthday by phone only a couple hours before his murder and said his spirits had been high that day. “He seemed fine.

Very solvable With the advancements in forensic science since 1996, Barrett believes the killer will be caught. “With advances in today’s technology, the evidence we have is going to be tested. I know this case is very solvable.” Barrett is urging the person in the Jeep to come forward. “If you were the person in that Jeep, if you know anything, just remember that Bollman was murdered on his 26th birthday. He still had not embarked on his life. He was just a baby. He’s never going to have a family, see a child graduate and get married. He’s never going to see them succeed. He was cut down in the prime of his life.” The public can see the photo of the Jeep on the Northwood Police Department’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook. com/NorthwoodPoliceOhio/ and The Press’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pressnewspapers/ Please contact the Northwood police at 419-691-5053 if you have any information on the identity of the driver of the Jeep or any other information on the murder.

next day to drive up to Minnesota to spend Christmas with us. I spoke to him at 10 that morning and he said he would probably be late because he was going to have to stop the car frequently to let his dog out. He was driving my wife’s car, which had four-wheel drive, in case he had to drive through snow. He said he was leaving work early, going home to pack, and leaving the next morning.” He said he was puzzled as to why anyone would want to kill his son. Michael, he said, was quiet and kept to himself. He enjoyed playing touch football with friends, cruising in his boat on Lake Erie, playing with his dog, and hanging out at sports bars to share stories about the Minnesota Vikings, which was his favorite football team. “He was very mild tempered,” Bollman said in the article. “I didn’t know of any enemies he had. Neither could the police, who went through his entire apartment and bank records searching for clues. Everyone they talked to liked him.”

Oregon to hold meeting on development By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

Oregon will hold a public meeting on downtown development on Monday, April 8 at 5:30 p.m. in City Council chambers at 5330 Seaman Rd. Sommer Vriezelaar, executive director of the Oregon Economic Development Foundation, said the city sent out Request for Proposals (RFPs) to 30 developers. “Right now, we’re getting phone calls and conference calls from developers, both local and non-local. We’re seeing what their interest is in developing a downtown in Oregon. We’re always looking for anyone who is interested. It’s an open plan. We just show maps with the acreage and parcels. We never have a specific plan because we want the developers to decide for us. That’s what they do.” She hopes the public will come to the meeting with their own ideas on development. “We want to hear from both the developers and the public,” she said.

Land acquisition The city in the last couple of years has been in the process of acquiring property in an effort to create a downtown area. In 2017, council passed a resolution in support of designating a zoning overlay as the first step in creating a downtown area that would include retail, residential, an entertainment district, and open green space along Navarre Avenue. The overlay district covers three areas bordered by Isaac Streets Drive, Navarre Avenue, Coy Road, Dustin Road, and Pickle Road, an area that totals 167 acres. The goal of the overlay district is to make it easier for the city to welcome modern development. Developers will have the option to bring buildings up closer to the front lot line to make some walkable space, and to move in some innovative ways with parking. To that end, the city acquired 30 acres of property from Navarre Avenue to Pickle Road, and property south of Dustin Road, including the former WOHO radio site on Pickle Road. Plans call for that area to be mixed use residential and retail development.

The city appropriated $3 million in the municipal budget for land acquisition and development in the core of the city. Oregon purchased the 30-acre site, behind the former Kmart on Navarre, for $1.4 million. Due diligence Oregon also authorized a ground lease/ purchase agreement for the former Kmart property for a 120 day due diligence period that ends on April 26. The city wants the property as part of its downtown development project. During the due diligence period, the city will determine whether it should enter into a 10-year lease with an option at the end of the 10 years to buy the property for $3.7 million, with lease payments of approximately $300,000 per year during the period. The city will determine between now and April 26 whether the cost of demolition, the interest in development, and its capacity to develop are considered practical in an effort to move forward. During that time, engineering estimates will be obtained for demolition to determine suitability for possible development.

OCIC recognizes business, community leaders The Ottawa County Improvement Corporation annual award ceremony to recognize businesses and community leaders adopted a new format this year that also examined the successful strategies of award winners and looked at the economic prospects for 2019. This year’s award categories included achievement, entrepreneur of the year, business of the year, Bill Mack business leader, and volunteer of the year. There were two 2018 Achievement Awards recognizing 150 years of business. One Achievement Award was presented to Gordon Lumber to recognize 150 years in operation. Gordon Lumber has served northwest Ohio since 1868 and has achieved success through key principles such as maintaining hometown pride, ensuring employee longevity, and having a dedicated staff that provides exemplary service to customers. In 2018, Gordon Lumber was honored with a Family Business Achievement Award at the Smart Business Family Business Conference. The other Achievement award was presented to the Village of Genoa to recognize 150 years in operation. The village was established in 1835 and was originally named Stony Ridge. According to lore, the town was looking to be renamed ‘Venice’ but when the representatives making the request arrived at the state capital, they forgot which Italian town they were going to name the village and ended up choosing ’Genoa.’ The Grand Army of the Republic/ Women’s Relief Corp. Hall is one of the most important landmarks in the village and was

used as a post for 200 Civil War Veterans. The Entrepreneur of the Year award went to Wine Flight, in downtown Elmore. Wine Flight opened in 2017 and owners Tony and Rebekah Zimmerman brought their love of aviation to the business concept. The retail shop and bar includes a selection of 200 plus wines and a large variety of craft beer; a variety of seasonal and staple farm-to-table foods. The Zimmermans and encourage customers to order from local restaurants and enjoy their meals at Wine Flight with a specialty beverage. Wine Flight hosts cooking classes, wine education workshops, yoga with wine, trivia nights, and features live entertainment. The Business of the Year award was presented to the Boardwalk Family of Restaurants, owned by the Booker family. The business provides a variety of Lake Erie island experiences. The Booker family has embarked on several investment projects over the years that have changed the landscape of the Put-in-Bay Harbor, including a multi-million dollar expansion at the Boardwalk Restaurant in 2007, the addition of The Keys property in 2011 and recent investments in employee housing facilities. The Bill Mack Business Leader Award recognizes an individual business leader for his or her work and support of the community. This year, the OCIC recognized Bob Babjack, plant manager of The Chipmatic Co. He is responsible for the day-to-day operations and efficiencies of the plant and feels his employees are an extension of his family. The Volunteer of the Year Award was

presented to Ron Lajti, Ottawa County engineer. He oversees construction and maintenance projects in the county. Ron has partnered with OCIC to enhance private sector investments and support career readiness. He worked with OCIC on a $950,000 public infrastructure improvement project along Lake Street at U.S. Gypsum’s plant, receiving funding from the Ohio Department of Transportation and JobsOhio. He has provided support to OCIC’s partnership with Volvo Penta’s marine training program, and serves as a trustee of the OCIC. After the awards were presented, Rebekah and Tony Zimmerman, Eric Booker, Bob Babjack and Ron Lajti each discussed their strategies. This panel offered ideas for local businesses and individuals. Following the panel discussion, local business representatives presented a 2019 forecast for the county. Speakers were Brian Harr, of First National Bank; Kyle Dodd, of the Rudolph Libbe Group, who provided an update on future projects in the construction industry; Larry Fletcher, of the Ohio Lake Erie Shores & Islands, spoke on the county’s tourism sector, and John Trott, of the Area 7 Workforce Board, who discussed the changing workforce landscape and challenges employers are facing with recruitment, and workforce development resources that employers have access to. The event was held on at the Camp Perry Conference Center in Port Clinton. For information on the OCIC, visit www. ocic.biz or Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or LinkedIn.

Workplace Five-star rating for GenoaBank GenoaBank has been awarded the highest rating – Five Stars “Superior” – from the independent bank-rating firm BauerFinancial. The superior rating signifies the bank is operating above its regulatory capital requirements. To earn the rating, GenoaBank needed to report not only impressive capital levels, but also a strong loan portfolio with negligible levels of delinquent loans, as well as other positive financial criteria. “It is an honor to be recognized by BauerFinancial as one of its strongest community banks within Northwest Ohio. We are proud to have been recognized with a consistent 5-Star rating, and will continue to work hard to perform at this level for our shareholders and customers alike,” said Martin P. Sutter, Chairman, president/ceo of GenoaBank.

Ag Notes Assistance available for landowners The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) encourages people and groups wanting to restore and protect critical wetlands, agricultural lands and grasslands to consider enrolling their property into conservation easements. This year, NRCS will provide technical and financial assistance to help private landowners, tribes, land trusts and other groups protect these valuable lands. The Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP) focuses on restoring and protecting wetlands as well

as conserving productive agricultural lands and grasslands. Landowners are compensated for enrolling their land in easements. “Protecting these lands preserves Ohio’s heritage, natural resources and open space,” said Terry Cosby, NRCS State Conservationist in Ohio. “Easements are an important tool for people who are trying to preserve the land for future generations.” Applications for ACEP are taken on a continuous basis. The ranking and funding deadline for this year is April 19. Ohio landowners interested in wetland reserve easements and partners interested in agricultural easements should contact their local USDA Service Center.

Funding proposed for student support services By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com In its current form, the 2020-2021 biennial budget proposed by Gov. Mike DeWine provides about $550 million in funding for what the administration is calling â&#x20AC;&#x153;Student Wellness and Success.â&#x20AC;? The funding for K-12 grades is targeted for mental health counseling, mentoring, after school programs and other support services. School districts will be encouraged to partner with local agencies such as alcohol, drug and mental health boards, county board of developmental disabilities, local health departments, local departments of Jobs and Family Services and non-profit centers with experience working with children. The budget proposal could change before the June 30 deadline for the state

legislature deadline for approval. But under the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal, the Genoa district would receive $68,727 in Fiscal 2020 and $82,275 in Fiscal 2021, said Bill Nye, treasurer. He informed the Genoa school board of the proposed additional funding during the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly meeting last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still a long way from having any semblance of what the budget will look like after it goes through the legislature in June,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a new thing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically money for at-risk students.â&#x20AC;? Other area districts and their proposed Wellness and Success amounts are: â&#x20AC;˘ Benton-Carroll-Salem: $337,804 in Fiscal 2020 and $405,365 in Fiscal 2021 â&#x20AC;˘ Gisbonburg: $162,527 in Fiscal 2020 and $194,992 in Fiscal 2021 â&#x20AC;˘ Woodmore: $50,141 in Fiscal 2020 and $59,995 in Fiscal 2021 â&#x20AC;˘ Eastwood: $104,796 in Fiscal 2020

and $124,585 in Fiscal 2021 â&#x20AC;˘ Lake: $145,438 in Fiscal 2020 and $172,268 in Fiscal 2021 â&#x20AC;˘ Northwood: $35,498 in Fiscal 2020 and $42,863 in Fiscal 2021 â&#x20AC;˘ Oregon: $351,368 in Fiscal 2020 and $415,835 in Fiscal 2021 Census figures of persons under 18 living in households with incomes below 185 percent of the federal poverty level were one factor used in determining allocations to the districts. Benton-Carroll-Salem has a 48.3 percentage, the highest of the area schools, while Northwood has a percentage of 14.4, the lowest. Gibsonburg, at 39.6 percent, was the second highest. The percentages of the other districts are in the 20s. Jeff Carpenter, Lake treasurer, also said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;way too earlyâ&#x20AC;? to speculate on what funding may be in the next biennium budget for schools. He said the Lake school

board has authorized the hiring of a second counselor to work at the high school next school year but the job duties for the position havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been completed. Guy Parmigian, B-C-S superintendent, said the state funding would be welcome if it survives the budgetary process. He said the district has a four-year contract with a social worker to address mental health and related issues of students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recognize the importance of dealing with mental health and depression among our students so we applaud the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a step in the right direction,â&#x20AC;? Parmigian said. B-C-S would benefit if the funding could be used to offset the costs of its school resource officer, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students have told us just the presence of our SRO puts them at ease,â&#x20AC;? he said.

School times changed The Lake school board has approved a recommendation to change the starting times for the high school, middle school and elementary school beginning with the 2020-21 school year. The administration had recommended the high school and middle classes begin at 8:45 a.m. and end at 3:30 p.m. Elementary school classes, which include kindergarten through the fourth grade, will begin at 8:10 a.m. and end at 2:40 p.m. The middle school and high school â&#x20AC;&#x201C; grades five through 12 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now start classes at 7:45 a.m. and end the day at 2:30 p.m. Elementary school classes now start at 8:45 a.m. and end at 3:30 p.m. A public forum on the proposed time changes was held last Monday and the school board voted on the proposal on Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The recommendation is based on information gathered by a committee of teachers and parents over the past year. Their recommendation summary outlined the benefits and possible negative effects of school day hours for different child age groups,â&#x20AC;? a post on the district website says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The committee studied test scores, attendance, behavior, graduation rate, safety, physical and mental health, and they consulted with another school district who flipped the school day hours. Additionally, the group considered the results of sleep habit surveys taken by our students last year. From a medical viewpoint, Dr. Michael Neeb and Dr. Ramalinga Reddy, directors of the Mercy Health Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital Sleep Disorder Program, enthusiastically endorse this change for our students.â&#x20AC;?

Oregon OKs bid for public splash pad, fitness court By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

“

They’ll be ready to go for the first part of June for the summer

“

Oregon City Council on Monday approved the $39,649.10 bid of Bihn Construction for the recreation department’s splash pad and fitness court projects. Both will be installed in the Coontz Recreation Complex on Seaman Road. Each requires the installation of a concrete pad, according to Tom Borton, the city’s recreation commissioner. “This is just the completion of our splash pad and fitness court projects,” said Borton. “We went out to bid. We had 10 bid packets purchased, and five bids returned. Bihn Construction was the lowest bid and they met all the criteria.” Council President Dennis Walendzak asked Borton when the concrete would be laid to start work on the projects.

“We talked about having it in April so we can begin all the final installation in May. They’ll be ready to go for the first part of June for the summer,” said Borton. Council already approved the pur-

Battle of the River Raisin featured in program Harbor View Historical Society, Inc., will present a program, “The Battle of the River Raisin,” April 20 at 1 p.m. at the Oregon Branch Library, 3340 Dustin Rd. Guest speaker Lt. Col. Nick Sass, USMC (Ret), a military historian, will discuss the modern-day Monroe, Michigan and the Battle for French Town in the War of 1812. The presentation is free and open to the public. The presentation will focus on the background and causes leading to the War of 1812, the progression and conduct of the war to the battle, the units and men who fought at the battle itself, along with discussions of the weapons, tactics, strategies, differing ideals and cultures interacting and conflicting. Lt. Col. Sass enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1983 during his senior year at Clay High School. Two weeks after graduating, he reported for basic training in San Diego. After two years in the enlisted ranks, he

was recommended for officer’s training and graduated from the University of Toledo in 1989. He was commissioned as an officer and served with the First Marine Division at Camp Pendleton and the Third Marine Division in Okinawa, Japan, as well as serving as the combat operations officer during his last combat tour in Iraq. His last post was as the Armored Vehicle Program manager in Sterling Heights, Michigan. He retired from the Marine Corps in 2010 after 28 years of service. He holds a bachelor’s degree in History from UT as well as two master’s degrees in Business Administration and Systems Integration from Baker College. He is working on his Ph.D. in History from Wayne State University and the University of Texas. Call 419-691-1517 or see the Harbor View Historical Society Facebook page for more details. Vito’s Pizza is co-sponsoring the event.

chase of the fitness court for $92,950 from National Fitness Campaign LLC, of San Francisco, and paid $122,724.28 to GameTime, of Harrison, O., for a sprayground custom baseball/softball arch splash pad at the baseball diamonds in the back of the recreation center just south of the baseball/softball concession stand. Non-sports activities The fitness court is a comprehensive outdoor circuit training system that supports 28 simultaneous users on 30 separate pieces of equipment. The fitness court provides seven-minute training modules for adults of all ages and fitness levels. The system is integrated with a sports floor to simulate an indoor gym. It could be used at any time. The non-slip court could be used even in the winter months. It will be located north of baseball diamonds three and four just off the bike path, according to

Borton. The fitness court is supported by National Campaign Resources, a digital ecosystem that includes a mobile app, the campaign’s social media support team, promotional materials and programming to assist public agencies. The downloaded app will show beginners how to go through the workouts. The program includes a $30,000 grant, which is deducted from the funds required for the fitness court and National Campaign Resources from sponsors of the National Fitness Campaign. The splash pad will facilitate a more family-friendly atmosphere by using the recreation grounds as a recreational facility versus using it only as a sports facility. The recreation department plans to develop more non-sports activities. Plans call for the complex to be more like a park that offers something for everyone.

Anna Sue Ray Graytown “Donny Osmond. I think he is the only one other than John Wayne. It’s kind of a toss up there. I always thought John Wayne was such a cool dude. He could get shot one week and be alive the next. What kind of man is that!”

Alyssa Sauceda Walbridge “Chad Michael Murray. He played in A Cinderella story with Hilary Duff. I liked that movie and I always thought he was so cute.”

The Press Poll What do you think of presidential candidate Andrew Yang’s proposal for a universal basic income of $1,000 per month for every adult?

Angela Pieper Millbury “Vin Diesel. The crush started with the ſrst ‘Fast and Furious’ movie. He is one nice looking bald man.”

Pam Erard Curtice “It would have to be Donny Osmond because they had that show on TV, ‘Donny & Marie.’ It was a variety show where they would sing and so funny skits.”

Dakota Ream Elmore “Selena Gomez. She was on Wizards of Waverly Place. My little sister used to watch it. I was about twelve and she was a few years older than me.”

Your outlook on life is your foundation on life Your outlook is a foundation for the quality of your life. A positive outlook produces dramatically different results than a negative one. Your outlook shapes your perception, which in turn determines your reality. People with a negative outlook struggle more than those with a positive outlook. A negative outlook is problem oriented, whereas a positive outlook is solution oriented. Your outlook is not something you react to, it’s a powerful mental state which you create. Monitor your outlook on a daily basis. Even the most positive outlook erodes over time if it’s not maintained. If you do not proactively sustain a positive outlook, your outlook tends to turn negative. Below are some practical steps to keep your daily outlook positive. Don’t complain.Complainers waste time and effort by endlessly rehashing problems. There is a solution for every problem. So once a problem is identified, spend all of your energy looking for that solution. Consider all you are capable of instead

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden of whatever you feel you can’t do. You have strengths and abilities which are not being fully utilized. Doing what you love boosts your enthusiasm more than you can imagine. Keep your self-talk positive. Tell yourself what you can, and will do. Enumerate all of the things you are capable of. Avoid any self-limiting internal conversations. Don’t malign yourself or put yourself down. Each day repeat to yourself, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.” Look forward to every day since it is filled with new opportunities. Each day you can make adjustments, make better decisions, and work on finding needed solutions. Each day you can keep doing what’s working, and stop doing what is not.

Maintaining an attitude of gratitude keeps your outlook positive. At least once a day review your list of all the things you are grateful for. A sincere appreciation for all of your blessings boosts your emotional state. Those who are thankful for what they have, always have more than they need. Take responsibility for your life. Purge all excuses for not following your path. Instead, formulate reasons you can, and will succeed. You only fail when you give up. If something doesn’t go as planned, determine what went wrong, make corrections, and continue forging forward. Stop worrying. It contaminates your daily outlook. Worry is a useless activity which accomplishes nothing positive. Replace worry with action. Eliminating worry boosts your mood substantially. Make a daily plan which details what steps you will take to accomplish your goals for that day. This plan gives you direction and keeps you on track. Work your plan by taking action. Actively working toward your objectives is a great way to keep your outlook positive. Lamenting the past clouds your daily

outlook. You can’t go back in time, so focus your energy on today. The past teaches you what worked, and what didn’t. Your outlook for today is boosted by repeating successful behavior. Ignore what others say, think, or do. Follow your own path. You don’t have to impress anyone else. There’s no limit to the naysayers lining up to tell you why you can’t, or won’t succeed. You’ll have a much better outlook when you are doing your own thing. Your daily outlook should include visualizing your life the way you would like it to be. Your mental image is a perfect picture of how you want to live. Maintaining an upbeat, positive outlook substantially bolsters your well-being. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Make E-Verify the norm for employers, not the exception By Mark Thies, Ph.D. Donald Trump recently issued his most influential executive order on immigration. Unfortunately, his order didn’t come from the executive branch. Instead, it came from the Trump Organization, the president’s private company. The firm recently announced that its hotels, resorts, and golf clubs would adopt E-Verify -- the free, online federal program which allows employers to check the legal status of prospective workers. Although Trump deserves credit for embracing the program, the vast majority of the nation’s employers have yet to follow suit. This has led to an economy that exploits undocumented workers at enormous costs to both native-born Americans and legal immigrants. Making E-Verify mandatory would hold employers accountable for their unlawful hiring practices, while humanely reducing the incentive for workers to come here illegally. E-Verify has existed since 1996, and

Time to tap the wealth? To the editor: This letter is in response to the articles covering Mike Trout’s $430 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels. One of the most disturbing facts about our capitalist nation is the misappropriation of funds directed to the salaries of entertainers. Everyone should agree that the value an athlete, movie star, talk-show host, team-owner, etcetera brings to the average citizen is very small. Granted, they do offer a minuscule of diversion from our daily trials and tribulations as did the jesters in the king’s court during the Middle Ages. But to allow these entertainers to horde such great amounts of wealth at the expense of more benevolent societal programs is unacceptable.

Guest Editorial it’s remarkably easy to use. Enrolled companies simply enter the name, birthdate, and Social Security number from a new hire’s I-9 form into the online system, and they’re quickly told whether or not the employee is legally eligible to work. Nearly 99 percent of new hires are verified as eligible within 24-hours. Most of the remaining 1 percent are eventually found to be illegal immigrants. E-Verify is free and available to every employer in the country. My employer, Clemson University, has been using E-Verify for years now, and I’ve never heard of a legal immigrant having a problem. Unfortunately, just 10 percent of em-

Letters

ployers currently use the program. Why? Because illegal workers lower operating costs. In a recent survey, 37 percent of illegals in America’s three largest cities reported being paid less than the minimum wage. These exploitative practices carry significant financial benefits for businesses. According to Harvard University economist George Borjas, illegals generate as much as $128 billion in added value for their employers each year. American workers -- both native-born and legal immigrants -- suffer as a result. After all, if businesses have access to a pool of illegal labor willing to work for less than the minimum wage, why pay legal employees fairly -- or hire them in the first place? The result, according to Borjas, is that illegal immigrants lower the wages of nativeborn Americans by between $99 and $118 billion a year. Mandatory E-Verify would ameliorate many of the problems arising from illegal immigration. As job opportunities for unau-

They do not provide a product or a service so why are they rewarded as such? Our society is also subjected to the “profound wisdom” of these people because it equates wealth with influence. Perhaps a solution to this problem and an alternative to defeated school levies, crumbling infrastructures, as well as all the programs established to help feed, clothe and shelter those who cannot help themselves would be to tax this undeserved wealth. Entertainers could keep 1 percent of the gross earnings reaped from their endeavor

and 99 percent could be deposited into the public coffers. The old ideas of the redistribution of wealth have failed, and it is time to adapt to modern-day preferences. People put their money into entertainment above everything else; isn’t it time to tap that wealth? Does anyone think this will reduce the quality of entertainment? It seems to me that when entertainers received less income, the quality was much higher. Joe Bialek Cleveland

thorized workers dried up, the incentive to enter the country unlawfully would plummet. Businesses accustomed to exploiting cheap illegal workers would finally have to pay fair wages to American workers.

Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. for the performance, which is part of the ongoing Live! In the House Concert Series. With more than three decades of performing experience in the U.S. and abroad, several artistic awards and the distinction of being on the Ohio Arts Council Touring Roster for many years, McCutcheon can relate to audiences of any age, or any combination of ages.

Ongoing events Through Oct. 6: Special exhibit “Temperance,” Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums, Spiegel Grove, Fremont. Before Prohibition, there was temperance. In reaction to increasing consumption of alcohol in the 1800s, many people began to express concerns about the social effects of drinking. The Temperance Movement gained popularity in the 1850s and became a significant moral and political force by 1900. This exhibit will present the causes for temperance, the role of its proponents in American society, and how the Hayeses were shaped by and helped shape the movement. Access to the exhibit is included with regular admission. Members are admitted free. 419-332-2081, or visit rbhayes.org. Through May 5: “Different Trains,” Toledo Museum of Art, Canaday Gallery. A largescale video installation, the work features a 1988 musical score by Steve Reich, reinterpreted by Spanish filmmaker Beatriz Caravaggio. “Different Trains” sets Reich’s score to an archival film montage that lends new depths and insights to the original musical composition. Through May 12: “Katherine Gray: (Being) in a Hotshop,” Toledo Museum of Art. In this solo exhibition of her work, Gray presents glassmaking as something that is experiential rather than strictly visual. The exhibition immerses the audience in the sights, sounds, and smells of the glassmaking studio. Using primarily glass, visitors are invited to experience glassmaking through multiple senses. With Gray’s immersive and sensory installation of the hotshop experience, visitors will be able to grasp a greater understanding of the process of glassblowing. Admission is free. Through May 29: Special Exhibit “A Family of Service: The Hayeses in World War I,” Hayes Presidential Library & Museums, Fremont. Mon.-Sat. 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sun. 12-5 p.m. In 1861, 38-year-old Rutherford B. Hayes enlisted in the Union Army during his country’s most desperate hour. Writing to a friend of his military experience, he said: “I think I have never enjoyed any period of my life as much as

Calendar the last three months. The risks, hardships, separation from family and friends are balanced by the notion that I am doing what every man, who possibly can, ought to do, leaving the agreeable side of things as clear profit.” Hayes passed this belief in the value of service onto his children and grandchildren. This exhibit explores America’s involvement in the “Great War” through the eyes of the Hayes family. Admission is included with the price of a regular museum ticket. rbhayes.org.

Toneff’s Tae kwon Do Specializing in the Korean Art of Self Defense

Deadline: Thursday 11:00 am

Inspirational Message of the Week: Putting Gratitude in Our Lives We all know how nice it is to be thanked for some small kindness or good deed which we have done for another. But perhaps more important than the warm feeling that we get when someone expresses their gratitude to us, is the positive outlook that gratitude usually engenders in the person who is grateful. That is, the feeling of being grateful helps to keep us focused on the positive. Instead of harping on how bad things are, or regretting the past, gratitude looks for the positive aspect and the silver lining. And although we all may occasionally feel sorry for ourselves, we can

Northwood

alleviate some of these feelings by getting into the habit of reminding ourselves of how much we have to be thankful for. Our good health, having friends and family who care about us, and even something as mundane as going to work, are truly things for which we ought to be grateful. We should spend some time each day counting our blessings. We might be pleasantly surprised to find that this exercise itself will make our lives better. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. N.I.V. 1 Chronicles 16:34

“Finding Neverland”

Standardized testing season is a stressful time for students and their teachers. This testing season, scholars and their guides are invited to blow off steam at the Children’s Theatre Workshop with their comedic production of “Les Examables.” The production will be staged April 1214 at the Collingwood Arts Center’s TanseyZimmerman Theater, 2417 Collingwood Blvd., Toledo. Not to be confused with the Broadway mega-hit, this comedy by Don Zolidis uses a similar storyline to “Les Misérables” to tell the tale of Anna Ullman. Anna is a bright high school student who leads a student rebellion to overthrow her school’s cruel testing prep policies, only to find herself becoming the despotic villain, desperate for high test scores. Tickets to “Les Examables” are $8 for K-12 students and seniors and $10 for general admission. K-12th grade public school teachers showing school ID will be given a complimentary ticket. Tickets are available at the door or online at www.ctwtoledo. org/tickets.

Springtime in Ohio

Egg Roll recreates tradition

Readymade for daytrips, longer adventures

Kids are invited to an afternoon of fun on Saturday, April 20, at the annual Hayes Easter Egg Roll, which replicates the White House Easter Egg Roll that Rutherford B. Hayes started when he was president. The event, open to kids ages 3-10, will be held from 2-3:30 p.m. on the lawn of the Hayes Home at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums at Spiegel Grove in Fremont. Admission is free. Kids are asked to bring three hard-boiled, colored eggs for use in traditional egg games like those played at the White House Easter Egg Roll. Prizes in the egg games are awarded in six age categories, and each child will receive a balloon and treats. Additionally, the Easter Bunny will make an appearance. There will also be face painting, cornhole games, story time and craft activities. Kids also can bring a hardboiled, decorated egg to enter in an egg-decorating contest. The egg roll is sponsored by Root’s Poultry and Welly’s Horseradish and Seasonings. President Hayes started the first White House egg roll in 1877. Before that, kids played egg games on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol building on Easter Monday. Congress, however, banned the event because of the mess. Undeterred, a young boy approached President Hayes just before Easter 1877 and asked if the egg games could take place at the White House instead. President Hayes agreed, creating a tradition at the White House that continues today. The Hayes Presidential Library & Museums has offered its egg roll since 1986.

Spring has sprung! Wildlife, wildflowers and waterfalls are all terrific things to chase in spring. Here in Ohio, wildlife is on the move, some birds are returning and others passing through on their way further north. Waterfalls are flowing fast and furious, swollen with snowmelt and spring rains. If it’s birds you enjoy you need look no further than our own backyard. The bird trail at Magee Marsh is considered one of the best destinations in the world for spring songbird migration, add Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and Howard Marsh to that mix. But this time of year virtually any woodlot can hold nice varieties of migrating birds. Great wildflower locations are near and far. They’re as close as our own Metroparks and Wood County Parks, especially Pearson, Swan Creek Preserve, Secor, Wildwood Preserve, and Oak Openings Preserve. Great Wood County Parks for wildflowers include Bradner Preserve, W.W. Knight, Sawyer Quarry, and Cedar Creek. There are great spots all over the state with some favorites including many of Ohio’s state nature preserves such as Goll Woods near Archbold, Collier on the Sandusky River, Vermilion River, Fowler Woods east of Mansfield, and Dysart Woods east of Cambridge. Timing varies with the weather of the year, but generally speaking, blooms come earlier to the southern part of the state and lag a week or two behind for more northern locations. As with the birds, there is an order to the appearance of species. The stalwart skunk cabbage comes when snows are often still on the ground, followed by other early bloomers such as snow trillium, harbinger-of-spring, springbeauty, bloodroot and hepatica. Mid-season blooms include great trillium, wild ginger, Dutchman’s-breeches and wild geranium. Phlox, trout lily and blue-eyed Mary are often later, with cardinal-flower the last of the woodland wildflowers to bloom. Waterfalls are typically at their best

Though Ohio isn’t known for its waterfalls, our state is blessed with some beauties. Travelers find a number of falls and slides in north-

east Ohio, as well as some more scattered but beautiful examples in Hocking Hills and southeast Ohio. Springtime settings don’t get much better than around these falls and slides. Some of the best wildflower spots are in the rich bottoms and in the rocky cliffs that are often found nearby Make a note – Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve, just east of Dayton, is arguably the best in the state for combining whitewater and wildflowers. For two spectacular miles, the gorge funnels the Little Miami National Scenic River between steep limestone walls, widening out here and there into bottomland festooned with wildflowers ranging from Virginia bluebell to wild ginger and more varieties of trillium than most people know exist. Make a swing through the state through Cuyahoga Valley National Park where Brandywine Falls is a “must stop” that’s overlooked by the aptly named Inn at Brandywine Falls, an excellent bed and breakfast in the national park. Hocking Hills is a natural for waterfalls with scenic Cedar Falls and gorge located not far from well-appointed overnight accommodations at The Inn at Cedar Falls. Old Man’s Cave Gorge is loaded with great stops and gushing falls. Ash Cave is a huge recess cave with a waterfall plummeting off its roof that’s the highest of its kind in the eastern United States. Springtime in Ohio is readymade for daytrips as well as overnight and long weekend adventures to enjoy the outdoors. Depending on your specific interest, the internet is loaded with information on natural areas in Ohio. Start with https://ohio. org.

New promoters excited about Fremont racing A new five-member team will lead Fremont Speedway into its 69th racing season in 2019 which kicks off Saturday, April 13. “The Track That Action Built,” located in the Sandusky County Fairgrounds in the heart of Fremont, will feature the 410 Sprints, the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints and the Dirt Trucks nearly every Saturday through the middle of September. The five-member board that will run the track after long-time promoters Rich and Shelly Farmer stepped down following the 2018 season, are Ryan Schiets (Chair), Brian “Buzz” Mathias, Justin Liskai, Gary Root and Rick Holland. “We got a little bit of a late start but the team has met nearly every week. We have been out in the community meeting our marketing partners and talking to a lot of knowledgeable people in the sport. It will be a huge learning experience for us this season but we have the most loyal race fans and teams in the country and that will make things a lot easier for us,” Schiets said. Schiets pointed out the standard weekly purse for the 410 sprints will pay $3,000 to the feature winner ($300 to start). He said the purses for the 305 sprints and dirt trucks have been increased in 2019. The 305 sprint feature winner will take home $750 ($200 to start) and the dirt truck feature winner will now earn $500 ($100 to start). Another new twist in 2019 is the Attica Fremont 410 Championship Series (AFCS) Presented the Baumann Auto Group and the KS Sales and Service AFCS 305 Championship Series. There will be 18 AFCS 410 races in 2019 – nine at both Fremont and Attica, and 14 AFCS 305 races – seven at each track.

First team All-Press honors go to Cardinals, Comets By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com There is some good company on this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press first team — four of the five received All-Ohio honors. So good that two players who averaged over 20 points per game were delegated to second team, but when you consider the talent on Cardinal Stritch’s team, any one of three first team selections would likely average 20 or more on the right team. All five first team selections hail from either Stritch or Genoa — they were two of only three schools that had a winning season this year, and that includes 10 local schools in the Eastern Maumee Bay region. Stritch, which became the first local school to reach the state final four in decades, was led by three first team guards — 5-foot-10 senior point guard Jordan Burton, 6-2 junior guard Joey Holifield and 6-3 senior forward Little Anderson. Although listed as a forward, we’re calling Anderson a guard because he handles the ball so well. The two Genoa players are 6-3 senior guard/forward Jacob Plantz and 6-5 senior forward Andrew Bench. Voting was by the 10 area coaches and 10 area media members. In All-Ohio voting by the state’s prep sportswriters association, Burton and Plantz are second team All-Ohio in Division III, Holifield is third team and Bench is honorable mention. Plantz, who averaged 20.3 points, including 10.5 in the paint, earned All-Press Player of the Year honors for the third straight season. He also averaged 5.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.5 deflections and two

All-Press (continued from page 16) Lutheran East (20-9), 58-53, at Ohio State’s Schottenstein Center. For the third straight year, fifth-year Stritch coach Jamie Kachmarik is the AllPress Coach of the Year. For Kachmarik, no game was more special than the 68-58 regional final victory over Coldwater (18-10) at Bowling Green State University’s Stroh Center, where he used to be an assistant coach. For him, that win was not only about his players, but his late father, Frank Kachmarik, who was a drummer in a polka band. “Today is an unbelievable day, not only for the win, but 13 years ago today my dad passed away from cancer,” Jamie said after the game. “So, we had pre-game breakfast and I went to his grave over at Fort Meigs and left him a ticket. So, he was here, and he and I had a long talk about these guys.” For Kachmarik’s players to get to the state tournament was a goal realized. “It’s crazy. These guys have wanted this so bad since day one last year once we lost districts,” Kachmarik said. “That’s all they’ve talked about and I wanted it for them so bad. And, it’s the hard work they put in and I pushed them and I pushed them because I know they can be great and I know they could reach this goal.” Not only did Stritch get three first team All-Press selections, all five starters were voted into recognition, with 5-5 sophomore guard Jhaiden Wilson and 6-7 senior forward Nolan Finch earning third team. It was Burton, Holifield and Anderson that drew the most appraise from visiting coaches, however. “Those guards are very, very tough,” said Lutheran East coach Sam Liggins. “They are hard to keep in front, they can handle the ball and they also can shoot, so whenever you have guards who are quick and a dual threat, it’s very hard to keep in front of them. They played their hearts out — hats off to those guys.” Burton has been the face of the team since his freshman year, and it shows in the way the program has developed. The win over Coldwater was Kachmarik’s 100th career victory and Burton has been there most of the way.

(Press photo by Scott Grau) “The one thing I want to say about him, today was win 100 for me as a coach here, and he’s got 81 wins as the starting point guard, and that tells you s little bit about why we are successful,” Kachmarik said after the win over Coldwater. “This is why we are here because he’s pushed these guys to get here, and then Little and Joey and those guys — they follow that lead. Eighty-one wins in four years as a point guard, and having a ball as much as he has, and meaning as much to me as much as he has, it’s very special.” Burton averaged 14.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 3.1 steals, shot 49.1 percent from the field, 41.8 percent from beyond the arc, 78 percent from the line, and

is a 1,000-point career scorer. He will play at NCAA D-II Notre Dame College next year. Holifield, also a 1,000 point career scorer, averaged 14 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.6 steals and shot 55 percent from the field, 46.2 percent percent from 3-point territory and 72.5 percent from the charity stripe. Anderson scored 13.8 points per game, plus he had 7.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.7 steals and shot 61.2 percent from the field, 51.2 percent from beyond the arc, and 84.8 percent from the line. Kachmarik also credits the Stritch community, which turned out in droves for the regional and state tournament games. He says Burton and Anderson have become

local celebrities. “When we were getting there (defeating Coldwater) and we needed some defensive stops, I turned around to raise my hands, and it got loud,” Kachmarik said. “There is nothing like playing for a community like that. “And, what they’ve done is absorb these kids. You’ve got little kids coming up to them and asking for autographs and just being around taking pictures with them. The Cardinal Stritch community, being a Cardinal, is very special and these two being seniors now, it’s really amazing.” (Photos of first team selections by Scott Grau and Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos. smugmug.com)

Matt Stencel becomes Clay’s fourth All-American He’s an All-American and he walks out a winner. When you get a taste, you want more. Central Michigan redshirt sophomore Matt Stencel (Clay) defeated Wisconsin’s Trent Hillger, 3-1, to finish seventh at 285 pounds at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. The victory capped a 4-2 run through the tournament for Stencel, who last year went winless at the NCAAs. He finished the 2018-19 season 31-6 with 19 pins. “I came here wanting to win a national title,” Stencel said. “I came up short, I got seventh place. I learned a lot. It was a good experience. It’ll be good for me next year. Little things make a big difference here. I can fix the little things – the whole team can fix little things – we’re going to be hard to stop.” Stencel is the fourth Clay graduate to earn All-American honors in the last two years. Clay has had an All-American in the NAIA (Nick Henneman at Lourdes University this season), Division III (Nick Stencel at the University of WisconsinWhitewater this year), Division II (Garret Gray at Tiffin University, an NCAA D-II champ last year) and Matt Stencel. The Stencel work ethic Clay coach Ralph Cubberly was in Pittsburgh to witness for himself Matt Stencel becoming his fourth collegiate AllAmerican. “This is pretty amazing. I do not know of any other program in the state or anywhere that can make that claim,” Cubberly said. “As a coach I try to be aware of the extra little things that my more successful athletes are doing to get better. The intensity in which they drill, the extra time in the weight room, the extra workouts and being the first person in practice and the last to leave are all common qualities in each of these guys,” Cubberly said. “To see these things makes me as their coach proud and I let them know that they deserve to win at the highest level and have success because they have earned it. Nothing comes easy in the sport of wrestling.” Cubberly notes that once they get into college, it becomes an even bigger challenge. They have to bring their work ethic with them, but the Clay coach says all four have what it takes. “The work ethic of a college wrestler is tireless and relentless,” Cubberly said. “The amount of time these young men put into the sport in order to achieve these goals is absolutely amazing. “When others are out having fun these guys were working out, trying to improve their strength, conditioning and technique. When in high school all of these guys put in tireless hours and took part in our spring and summer training cycles. They never missed practice or an opportunity to get better.” Of the four, Cubberly always felt Matt Stencel had what it took at the NCAA’s highest level. “Matt was probably the best overall athlete of this group. Matt is a good natured kid who was naturally very strong and understood positions in a match that others did not,” Cubberly said. “Matt was also very flexible and the

(Photo by Dan Jaksetic) only person on our team who could do the splits even as a 220-pounder. Matt was also a devastating finisher in matches, in high school he set the state record for consecutive pins with 39. Last week Matt also won the NCAA Division I Pin Award with 19 pins for the season. Having a smile on your face lets people know Matt enjoys what he is doing and Matt very much enjoys wrestling and life.” Matt’s brother Nick has a similar work ethic, Cubberly says. “His strength was his ability to wrestle from all positions. When Nick was wrestling you always knew he was giving you 100 percent all of the time,” Cubberly said. “Nick was not afraid to try new things or go for the ‘big move’ at any time. It is that type of wrestling that makes him dangerous in every match. Knowing that he gives 100 percent in everything he does is a very good quality for a young man to possess.” Stencel hard to stop Coach Cubberly has a family connection with Central Michigan that keeps the communication going with Stencel. “The only coach I really communicate with is Central Michigan Coach Tom Borrelli. He and I have a relationship that goes back about 15 years when my two boys wrestled there. My son Ryan just finished his fourth year as an assistant coach under Coach Borrelli.” Matt Stencel became very hard to stop

as he matured throughout the season. Most of his losses came early in the year to ranked wrestlers. His losses at the NCAAs came to top-seeded Derek White of Oklahoma State, 3-1, and to 10th-seeded Youssif Hemida of Maryland, 6-2. White (32-2) eventually became national runner-up. Among those that Stencel, who was seeded ninth, beat at the NCAAs were fifthseeded Mason Parris of Michigan, eighthseeded Demetrius Thomas of Pitt, and the seventh-seeded Hillger. Both Thomas and Parris had beaten Stencel during the regular season. A testament to Stencel’s season-long growth is the fact that he beat those wrestlers and his performance in his final match of the tournament against Hillger. The match was tied, 1-1, when Stencel scored a takedown with under 10 seconds remaining. “I owe that to the coaching staff — all of it,” Stencel said of his continual improvement. “You’ve got to have the right attitude and I believe in them and they believe in me. Coach (Ben) Bennett’s a big reason. He helped me this year with staying composed. I lost a few matches that I shouldn’t have because I wasn’t staying composed. “We worked on that all year. It shows in matches like that. It’s 1-1, short time, I know I’ve got to be ready for anything, be in position, be ready to score. It really shows. I think my first two years (of college wrestling) I would have taken a bad shot and I

might have lost that match.” Stencel said he worked on his conditioning this season. He still got a disproportionally high number of pins – he entered the NCAA Championships leading the nation with 18 falls – but he also increasingly displayed an ability to go all seven minutes. “I think my issues with conditioning were mostly mental,” he said. “I think a lot of times I would worry about being tired and that would hinder my wrestling, and I’d have a lack of focus. It showed. “Being mentally strong – you realize (your opponent is) tired; it doesn’t matter. You’ve just got to wrestle. Forget that you’re tired. No matter how tired you are, you still have to have good technique. … It paid off for me.” Clearly, Stencel grew by leaps and bounds in the past year, an extension of the maturity he has displayed since his arrival at CMU from Clay High for the 201617 season. After a redshirt season, he went 28-17 in ‘17-18, winning the Mid-American Conference title. His performance over three days in Pittsburgh is further evidence that the sky’s the limit. “I love competing like that,” he said. “I’m never content; I’m going to learn from it. Hopefully next year we can get a national champ at Central Michigan.” (— By Press Sports Editor J. Patrick Eaken and the Central Michigan University Sports Information Department)

Comets favorites to win the Northern Buckeye title By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Genoa baseball coach Gary Nissen and his staff threw out the proverbial carrot as an idea for how they want the Comets to approach this season. “We’ve challenged this team to field .990,” Nissen said, “meaning we make plays 99 percent of the time. We’re not making errors. We’ve really preached that to this team. When we get a routine ground ball, we need to get an out, and we have been stressing that in practice.” Genoa returns seven starters from last season, when it went 18-6 and 10-4 (third) in the Northern Buckeye Conference. The Comets reached the Division III district semifinals, losing to NBC champion Eastwood. Genoa’s key losses due to graduation are center fielder Noah Edwards and third baseman Gabe Scott. Both players earned first-team All-NBC honors last year; Edwards was an honorable mention AllOhio pick, while Scott is now playing at Tiffin University. The Comets opened the season with a 9-0 win over Oak Harbor last Saturday, then followed that with a 5-0 win over visiting Delta on Monday. “We’re off to a very good start,” Nissen said. “Pitching and defense are going to be the strength of our team. It’s nice to have that as a coach. Defense rarely slumps, and hopefully we will keep (opponents) off the base paths.” The NBC coaches picked the Comets to win the conference crown this season. “It’s a preseason poll and I don’t take much stock in them,” Nissen said. “You don’t get a trophy for a preseason poll. I told the team (Tuesday) we have to go out and prove we’re worthy of that.” Juniors Cole Millhime and Allen Laytart are the team’s top two pitchers after earning honorable mention All-NBC honors last year. Millhime pitched a completegame three-hitter against Oak Harbor, striking out nine and walking four. Laytart got the win against Delta, throwing five innings and allowing two hits with eight strikeouts.

(Press photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com) Junior Reid Stoner pitched the last two innings and struck out four. The Comets’ other pitchers are senior Josh Vischer, sophomores A.J. Rubeis and Jake Emerson and freshman Seth Witt. The catcher is junior Rylen Stoner, a secondteam All-NBC pick. “Rylen helps control the opponents’

running game,” Nissen said. “He’s very difficult to run on. The nice thing is, our top two pitchers are left-handed so they help control the running game as well. It’s pretty tough to steal a base.” Witt will play first base in place of his brother, Sam, a junior and a two-year starter. Sam, who batted a school-record .494

last season, is out with a torn ACL “Seth has done pretty well,” Nissen said. “He had a hit in his first at-bat, and that’s not a bad way to start your career. He’s a heady kid and he’s played the upper levels of youth baseball. He was pretty well ready when he came in. It’s just a matter of him getting varsity experience.” Vischer is a returning starter at second base and will be replaced by sophomore Joey Large when he pitches. “Josh has really taken Joey under his wing,” Nissen said. “He’s showing Joey how we like to do things and he’s bringing him along. Josh understands we need somebody to play second when he’s pitching, and he’s really bringing Joey along.” Sophomore Tommy Giles can play third base and also catches. “It’s a matter of getting him some varsity experience and getting his feet wet to compete at this level,” Nissen said. Junior Reid Stoner returns at shortstop after establishing himself defensively last spring. “He was kind of a utility guy last year,” Nissen said. “I moved him all over the place — second base, short, outfield. We want to let him settle in at shortstop and we’re also looking to use him in a relief role along with Josh Vischer.” Sophomores Zack Buhrow and Jake Emerson will both see action in right field. Buhrow started the first two games this season. “We have some flexibility there with both of those guys and another sophomore, A.J. Rubeis,” Nissen said. “They can play multiple positions. We can move Jake and A.J. around where we need them.” Laytart and Millhime will rotate in left field when the other is pitching, Nissen said. Both players have also played first base. “Both of them are left-handed, so they allow us some flexibility,” Nissen said. Rubeis is starting in center field in place of senior Jacob Stewart, who broke a bone in his hand. Nissen said Stewart might return in early May, then added that sophomore Devin D’Emilio, who is nursing a sore shoulder, “will definitely be in the outfield once we get him healthy.”

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com No public school has won a Three Rivers Athletic Conference baseball championship in its seven-year history. St. John’s Jesuit and St. Francis de Sales have won three titles apiece, and Central Catholic has one. If coach Jim Phillips and his Clay squad hope to make a run at it this spring, the Eagles need to grow up in a hurry. Seven players on this year’s roster have no varsity experience, and many of those will see the field right away. “I think we have an opportunity to be really good,” Phillips said. “It depends on the type of leadership we get from our seniors and how fast our youngsters who are getting their first taste of varsity baseball can adjust to that.” Clay, which went 11-12 and 6-7 in the TRAC last year, returns four starters this season. The Eagles opened with a 10-1 win over Rossford on Monday. Seniors Palmer Yenrick and Grant Spears and junior Derek Bolander are team captains. Yenrick, a four-year starter, plays shortstop and pitches and was a second-team AllTRAC pick last season as an infielder. “He’s played a lot of baseball the last four years and he has a very high baseball IQ,” Phillips said. “No situation is going to be too big for him. We look for him to lave a lot of confidence at the plate and on the mound. He’s a guy we look to to provide a lot of leadership for us.” Spears, an outfielder and designated hitter, was a second-team All-TRAC pick last year. He is the team’s top returning hitter after batting .358 last season, and he is batting fourth in the lineup this spring. “Grant came in last year and did a real nice job,” Phillips said. “His defensive play has improved a lot. He’s going to hit in the middle of the lineup, and as a left-handed stick we expect him to drive in a lot runs.” Clay’s pitching staff consists of Yenrick, Bolander, juniors Brendan Cannon and Ty Szymczak, sophomore Trevor Jurski and senior Ian Johnson. Yenrick, Johnson and Bolander all pitched last season and will have to make up for the graduation of pitchers Devin Lunsford, a first-team

all-conference pick, Nick Walter, Caynon Leathers and Matt Mohr. “The ability level is there,” Phillips said, “but it’s going to be matter of if our inexperienced guys – we lost over 100 innings off the mound last year – if we can find guys who are stepping in and are capable of doing that. It’s a matter of how are they going to adjust to varsity baseball.” Bolander will play left field when he isn’t pitching. He batted over .300 and threw 28 innings as a sophomore. “His hitting was a pleasant surprise,” Phillips said. “He did really well (on the mound). He averaged just under one strikeout an inning. He’s someone I think has a very high ceiling, and I look for a big step forward from him on the mound and to just keep what he’s doing at the plate.” Spears will start in right field, with junior Andrew Collins in center. Junior Skylar Mays will also play in the outfield. “Andrew has a real high ceiling,” Phillips said. “He does a great job defensively in center and runs down a lot of balls. He’s our leadoff hitter, like he was last year as a sophomore. The ability he has puts him in a nice position to get on base a ton and create havoc on the bases.” The rest of the infield includes Jurski at first base, sophomore Logan Heintschel at second base and freshman Spencer Fortier at third. Seniors J.D. McGee and Andrew Brown will also compete for playing time, according to Phillips. Fortier is one of 30 freshmen to go out for baseball at Clay this spring. “He’s a player,” Phillips said. “He’s a lefty stick who hits the ball pretty consistently. Defensively, in three scrimmages and one game, he has solidified that (third base) position. Trevor is really good defensively, and his stick is coming along. Heintschel was the starting quarterback last fall, so he’s already had some varsity exposure. He’s a really good competitor, he plays the game real hard and he’s good defensively.” Clay’s other designated hitter is senior J.J. Utter, who will also see action behind the plate. “That depends on who’s pitching and those types of things,” Phillips said. “He’s another lefty stick and he has some pop. We’re looking for him to be a middle-ofthe-order guy who can drive in some runs.”
