Fire depts. seek grant to study staffing By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Three local fire departments plan to jointly apply for a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to fund an assessment of their personnel needs. Departments in Lake Township and the cities of Northwood and Rossford are seeking a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant from the agency, Bruce Moritz, the township fire chief, said Tuesday during the township trustees’ meeting. If the grant is approved, it will be used to pay for a consulting firm to study the departments’ service calls and staff levels, the chief said. “We’d like to have someone come in look at our needs and give us some recommendations. Our run volume continues to climb every year,” Moritz said. “This could give us a good format to map out our future.” The township trustees approved the application request. Josh Drouard, chief of the Rossford Fire and Rescue Department, said he expects city council to approve a similar resolution when it meets April 9. “This will help all three departments both individually and collectively,” he said.

Jason Krizan, a 28-year-old six foot tall, 185 pound outfielder who hails from Austin, Texas, says having 12 players who have been with the Toledo Mud Hens before provides familiarity and team chemistry. Krizan, who was with the Hens and at Double A Erie last year, spoke to The Press at a Team Media Day Wednesday in the Holy Toledo Room of the Hen’s office building. New Manager Doug Mientkiewicz, a Toledo native, and his coaching staff were present with every player from the opening day roster. The Hens opened the season on Friday, April 6 at Louisville. Opening day at Fifth Third Field is set for Thursday, April 12 at 4:05 p.m. against Pawtucket. See story on page 14. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean)

Phosphorus

High levels are heading to Lake Erie By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Spring 2017 Western Lake Erie Tributary Water Monitoring Summary, released last week by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, shows high levels of phosphorus headed to Lake Erie. Exacerbated by wet weather, the total phosphorus load in the Maumee River was elevated to more than twice the required reduction targets (40 percent by 2025) identified in the Binational Water Quality Agreement. Ohio EPA Director Craig W. Butler said more needs to be done to address the problem. “This report, which is consistent with testing as far back as the early 2000s, confirms that we haven’t moved the needle to meet our goal of reducing phosphorus by 40 percent by 2025 and we have more work to do,” said Butler. “While there continues to be significant taxpayer and private dollars spent on incentives and voluntary nutrient reduction programs, it is clear the actual water quality monitoring data shows

stations throughout the Lake Erie basin. The report also shows some watersheds are faring better than others. However, all are well above the flow weighted mean concentration target for phosphorus. The flow weighted mean concentration measures phosphorus loads relative to stream size and flow.

“

Resolution approved In other business Tuesday, the township trustees approved a resolution supporting a bill pending in the Ohio legislature that would allow police departments in townships with populations of 5,000 or more to patrol and make warrantless traffic stops on interstate highways. Currently, police departments in townships with populations of less than 50,000 residents lack statutory authority to make warrantless stops. HB 255 had a hearing last September before the House Transportation and Safety Committee but hasn’t had a hearing since. The township resolution notes that “… the inability of township officers to enforce all laws on roadways that fall within their

Fertilizer run-off Oregon City Councilwoman Sandy Bihn, who is executive director of Lake Erie Waterkeeper, said she agreed with Butler. “He’s right. The problem is, with all the money we’ve invested to reduce phosphorus, we’re not getting the reductions we need. Not even close. It seems to be getting worse, not better. If the dollars invested are not yielding the results, we need to reevaluate what we’re doing, and do things differently.” Bihn said there needs to be more accountability from the agriculture industry, since livestock manure and fertilizer runoff from farms are the primary sources of phosphorus that drain into creeks and the Maumee River before it empties into the

Western Basin of Lake Erie, triggering the growth of harmful algae. “We have 100 new pork producers in the area, and there will be a new dairy farm in Michigan that will have more cows in the Western Basin of Lake Erie. And that means more manure applied to farm fields. It can be over-applied far beyond crop needs. That practice needs to change quickly. You can’t keep over-applying manure when you’re trying to ratchet down fertilizer on farms to reduce run-off into the lake.” Bihn said there are no enforceable limits on agriculture to reduce the overuse of fertilizer and manure. Instead, the government seeks compliance on a voluntary basis “It’s all voluntary. There are no consequences. So if agriculture is doing it voluntarily now and we have no results, then there’s nothing that requires them to change. And that’s the most troubling.” Impairment The summary comes on the heels of The Ohio EPA’s announcement on March 22 that it planned to 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 was detected in Toledo’s water supply in 2014. The finding prompted the city to issue a water advisory to over 400,000 water customers in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan to avoid using tap wa-

ter for two days. The impairment 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 has been designated as impaired. The impairment designation will not provide any additional federal funds to improve the lake, and will not give authority to the Ohio EPA director to regulate agriculture. It will establish a baseline of nutrient and phosphorus levels in the lake to reduce harmful algal blooms. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and U.S. EPA will identify a science-based process for assessing impairment in Ohio’s Western Basin open waters for harmful algae. The baseline for microcystin, found in harmful algae, will be established through the review of satellite images taken by NOAA.

jurisdiction creates serious risk of harm to the travelling public, fire and EMS officials working within their capacity, road and highway workers working within their capacity.” It also states there has been a national recognition there is an “epidemic of drug-related issues, impaired driving, human trafficking and roadway incidents of violence.” Mark Hummer, the township police chief, said the bill is “stuck” in the House committee due to opposition from the Buckeye State Sheriff’s Association. He said he planned to meet with State Rep. Theresa Gavarone to discuss the bill but expressed frustration with not being able to schedule a meeting with Sen. Randy Gardner. State Rep. Steve Arndt is a co-sponsor of HB 255. The trustees also approved several personnel matters. Jacob Peacock was hired as a fulltime police officer. He previously worked for the Walbridge Police Department. Todd Cromer was promoted to the rank of sergeant in the township police department. The resignation of Russell Fisher as a fire fighter/EMT was accepted. He is moving to Indianapolis. Joel Densic was hired as a firefighter.

Ashford opposes bill State Rep. Michael Ashford (D-Toledo) voted against House Bill 506, legislation to revise laws governing high-volume dog breeders. The bill passed the GOP-controlled chamber. Critics of the bill say it does not go far enough to fully address unethical standards of producing, selling and providing substantial health protection of dogs and cats. “This bill continues to allow puppy mills to sell to dog retailers and pet stores,” Ashford. said. “Members of the House of Representatives are often divided by political philosophies, but HB 506 misses the target altogether and does little to provide adequate care to animals and make real, effective change to eliminating puppy mills.” HB 506 defines a high-volume breeder as having a minimum of six breeding dogs but does not address a cap on the number of breeding dogs one breeder can own. The bill also allows dog breeders to keep up to 60 puppies younger than 6 months on the premises each year. High-volume breeders must also secure a license from the Director of Agriculture, and in exchange sell a minimum of 40 puppies per year. The Animal Legal Defense Fund recently ranked Ohio 27th in the U.S. in terms of the strength of its animal-protection laws. After passing the House, HB 506 moves to the Senate for consideration.

Meeting rescheduled The April 10 meeting of the Wood County Board of Park Commissioners has been rescheduled to Tuesday, April 17 at 3 p.m. at the Reuthinger Memorial Preserve, 30730 Oregon Rd., Perrysburg.

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A financial shot in the arm from the state isn’t a cure for the long-term needs of the Benton-Carroll-Salem School District, Guy Parmigian, superintendent, is cautioning residents of the Ottawa County district. Parmigian says in an email message to district staff members the administration learned on March 30 that Gov. John Kasich signed legislation including a provision allocating about $1.8 million annually for three years in special funding to B-C-S. The provision was included in a bill that replaces the current career-technical teaching license with two new workforce development educator licenses and requires school administrations to provide skilled trade organizations and career-technical education groups with two opportunities per school year to present career in-

formation to students. Parmigian said the special funds are needed to offset the loss of property taxes to B-C-S caused by the devaluation of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant – about $4.6 million a year - roughly one-fourth of the district’s operating budget. The district is also losing revenues from state reimbursements for the phaseout of the utility tangible personal property tax, according to Parmigian. To recover those losses the board is placing a 1 percent earned income tax on the May ballot along with a 3.89-mill property tax that would annually generate about $1.98 million and $1.4 million respectively if passed. Both issues would be in effect for five years. Parmigian is stressing that those levies are still needed even though the state is providing “bridge funds.” “It is very important for you and all of our stakeholders to know that the two B-C-

S levies before voters on the May 8th ballot are still very much essential to secure our financial future. These B-C-S bridge funds will help fill the gap between the $6 million reduction in revenue and the $3.4 million that the two levies will generate annually if passed by voters in May,” he says in his message. “Since we learned that devaluation of Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant was going to be a reality back in March 2017, treasurer (Cajon) Keeton, together with the board, has worked aggressively and diligently to secure this special funding. In our efforts, we very much appreciate the leadership of Rep. (Steve) Arndt and Senator (Randy) Gardner in understanding the importance of this special funding for the future of educational excellence at Benton-Carroll-Salem Schools.” The Ohio Department of Taxation approved FirstEnergy’s request last year for the property devaluation of its Davis-Besse plant and Perry Nuclear Power Plant.

Meeting Thursday

District ready to start ditch clearing project By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District will host a meeting April 12 to discuss proposed improvements to the John Blausey Joint County Ditch. The meeting will be held at the Clay Township Hall, 21774 West Holts East Rd. and start at 7 p.m. The project is designed to improve drainage by excavating the ditch bottom and bank to remove accumulated sediment. Rock riprap will be installed if needed; wood vegetation will be removed and bridges or culverts will be cleaned. Excavated materials will be placed in fields adjacent to the ditch where possible and leveled.

The proposed work is planned to start later this summer or autumn with a scheduled completion date of spring 2019. It will start where the ditch meets Crane Creek in Ottawa Creek and proceed upstream, crossing State Route 51, the Norfolk Southern Railroad and State Route 795 before entering Wood County near Fostoria Road. From there it will proceed to Hanley Road. The ditch was reconstructed in the early 1960s, according to the OSWCD, as a joint county petition project. Costs for the reconstruction and subsequent maintenance are assessed to land parcels deemed to benefit from the improvements. Mike Gargac, maintenance supervisor for the OSWCD, said more than 140 notices have been sent to landowners in the ditch

watershed. He said the county intends to advertise for contract bids by late spring or early summer. Bid specifications are being completed to reflect work on side branches of the ditch that weren’t originally factored into the original cost estimates. “It needs to be done. Since we are going to be doing this work we figured we would have an educational meeting for the people,” Gargac said. The project will be conducted so that it is the “least destructive to agriculture,” he said. “The majority of the area we’re going through is agriculture. So we try not to do it in the middle of summer and damage crops.” For project information call 419-8981595.

charged with multiple counts of Theft, Receiving Stolen Property, Misuse of a Credit Card and Forgery after he reportedly stole blank checks and a credit card from an Elmore resident, then used the card and cashed the checks at businesses in Elmore and Genoa. • Fala Kay J. Rider, of Oak Harbor, was charged with Theft, Possession of Drugs, and Possession of Drug Abuse Instruments. • Chadwick Pelz, of Martin, was indicted to two felony counts of Possession of Drugs. According to Ottawa County Drug Task Force reports, agents found steroids in Pelz’s home while executing a search warrant in August 2017.

• Caleb Kidd, of Walbridge, has been indicted on one felony count of Trafficking in Drugs after he was stopped for a traffic violation in September and found in possession of a large amount of marijuana, along with multiple items of drug paraphernalia. Kidd’s indictment also contains a grand jury specification for forfeiture of $332 in his possession at the time of the incident. A warrant has been issued for Jacks . Summonses were issued for all other defendants. An indictment is merely a formal charge in the common pleas court and does not denote guilt or innocence, VanEerten noted.

Camp Perry tears down old cottages; builds new By Ashley Brugnone CMP Writer celder@thecmp.org The Camp Perry National Guard Training Base, home of the National Trophy Pistol and Rifle Matches since 1907, is currently undergoing significant upgrades to some of the most celebrated areas of the grounds. “There will be a different feel when people come onto post,” said MAJ Michael Yates, base operations manager of the Camp Perry facility since 2014. Since his time at Camp Perry, MAJ Yates has overseen a considerable amount of projects totaling multi-millions of dollars, which have included structural, functional, aesthetic and historical developments. He admitted the renovations being conducted in 2018 have been years in the making – featuring major additions to base facilities and a substantial restoration in the historical theatre. “We’re doing so much to continually improve the post and make it better,” he said. “Our predecessors have made it better, and we want to take it from there and continue to make it that much better for everyone to use.” He added, “It’s been a century-plus of things going on here – people training up for World War I, to a POW camp for Italian and German prisoners during World War II, to all the different schools and people, soldiers, shooters coming through here. We want to ensure that they understand that we always keep an eye to this and want to show our legacy. Not only holding to it, but improving on it. That’s what we strive for.” Even with the significant construction going on this year at Camp Perry, there is still plenty of improvements in store as MAJ Yates and his crew continue to plan for the future. “There will be more to come,” he said. Below is a summary of the major projects going on at Camp Perry in 2018. 300 and 600 Yard Shooting Berms on Rodriguez Range Completed in November 2017, improvements were made on all of the berms by adding more room on top, to help those who train and hold competitions. MAJ Yates and his team partnered with the 200th Red Horse, Air National Guard Unit within the Ohio National Guard on the project – setting a solid 10-foot shooting platform to

The old lakeside cottages are being replaced with new structures that all allow a view of the lake. (Photo courtesy CMP) ensure everyone will be more comfortable. “The Point Project” The old lakeside cottages, located behind the beach on base, are being phased out. The nearby tennis courts have been removed, and roads and walkways have also been repaved. Five new cottages are being built – totaling $2.25 million from the capital budgets. All new infrastructure has been put into the area, including brand new sewer, water, electric and gas lines. The cottages will sleep eight, with three bedrooms, two full baths and angled positioning of the buildings to give every one a view of the lake from the porch to the kitchen. “They are absolutely fantastic. Everyone gets a great view,” said MAJ Yates. The modular style homes were built in a warehouse and brought in two parts, then set up and put together. The homes

are designed with insulated style siding, plus insolation within to make them comfortable during the winter months. Offering competitive pricing that is more affordable than the surrounding areas, the new cottages will be available to rent at Camp Perry 365 days out of the year. “This is the best kept secret in all of Ohio,” said MAJ Yates. “People will get to see what a great stay Camp Perry is. It’s going to be a great upgrade to the facilities.” MAJ Yates will be requesting for fiscal year 2019-2020 capital budgets to finish the rest of the cottages and replace existing buildings – demoing the rest and adding in 10 more houses. The new cottages are planned to be finished some time in the spring. The last cottages were built in the 1950s, based around tent pads that used to be on the grounds in the early days of Camp Perry.

Oregon oks raise for City Administrator Beazley By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Administrator Michael Beazley’s annual salary was increased to $143,220 from $132,000 after City Council recently approved an 8 ½ percent pay raise at a meeting on March 26. Mayor Mike Seferian said the $11,220 increase in compensation for Beazley was in line with compensation received by bargaining and non-bargaining unit employees. “People got raises for years, but Mike Beazley never took one,” said Seferian. Beazley was hired on January, 2010 with an annual salary of $120,000. In 2013, Beazley turned down a 2.5 percent raise offered by the mayor. It was not the first time Beazley turned down a higher salary. Seferian, after defeating incumbent Mayor Marge Brown in 2008, spent some time looking for a new administrator. He wanted Beazley, who was the administrator of Lucas County, even though Beazley had not submitted a resume for the position. Seferian had offered him $135,000 annual salary at the time,

but Beazley declined the offer and agreed instead to $120,000. He had also rejected a $5,000 vehicle allowance that was included in the contract of Ken Filipiak, the previous administrator under Marge Brown. Worth the money In March of 2015, Beazley’s annual salary went up to $132,000 after he received a 10 percent raise. “We were able to get him a raise in 2015,” said Seferian. “It was not retroactive. We just added to his base scale to keep him somewhat along the lines of what everyone else got. I think it’s only fair that he got raises other people got.” The new raise will be spread out over three years, he said. The first year, Beazley will receive a 3 percent increase, followed by a 2.75 percent increase the second year, and a 2.75 percent raise the third year. “It keeps with our pay equity scale,” said Seferian. “I think it’s a worthy raise.” “I think Mike Beazley has done a great job for the city,” said Councilman Tim Zale. “He’s worth the money that we pay him.” Zale asked Seferian if Beazley were to leave his position, would the city then cut the

salary for the next city administrator. “This is a more merit-based salary for him?” asked Zale. Seferian said the salary is determined by what skills the candidate brings to the table. He described how he negotiated a salary with Beazley when he asked him to be the city administrator. “Mike asked me, `What would the compensation package be?’ Seferian said the standard salary for the position was $100,000 to $120,000. He said he offered Beazley $135,000 per year because of his experience. “He brought more to the table than what I envisioned us being able to attract,” said Seferian. Beazley said he would accept the position, but only with an annual salary of $120,000, he added. Seferian said he hoped the same criteria would apply when determining the salary of the next city administrator. “There is a standard in the market, and I think we’re in that market standard. Then it’s going to be the individual themselves - what do they have to offer,” said Seferian. “So this position is somewhat set aside from the annual increases that would take place,” said Councilman Steve Hornyak.

“Are there any other positions that fall into the same situation that are not addressed annually that would have a two to three year lookback period like this, or is this the only one that you need?” “This is the only one other than yours and mine,” said Seferian. In demand Beazley has been in demand due to his extensive experience in leadership positions in local government and public policy for over 25 years. When Wade Kapszukiewicz was elected Toledo mayor last November, he asked Beazley to serve in his new administration. Beazley committed only to serve on a task force to help the new mayor assemble his administration. “I’ve agreed to help with the transition for Toledo’s new mayoral administration,” Beazley said last November in response to rumors he would take a job in Kapszukiewicz’s administration. “We’re talking about ways I can continue to be involved in moving the communities and region forward. But my goal and expectation is to do that from my seat as administrator in Oregon.”

More tax scams reported as filing deadline nears By Press Staff Writer Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine warned that more consumers are reporting tax scams ahead of the April 17 tax filing deadline. In March, the Ohio Attorney General’s Help Center logged more than 340 reports of tax scams, compared to about 160 in January and 280 in February. “Scam artists cast a wider net. They know not everyone will fall for it, but some will,” Attorney General DeWine said. “We encourage people to be very careful, especially this time of year. Scam artists will try to scare you to death, saying they’re the IRS and they’re coming to throw you in jail if you don’t pay them immediately. The real IRS doesn’t operate like that.”

Among the tax scams reported to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, the IRS impostor phone scam is the most common. In this scam, people generally get a call saying the federal government is taking action against them for tax problems and they must call back immediately (and eventually pay) to resolve the problem. Tips Tips to avoid the scams include: •Don’t trust threatening callers. If you receive an unexpected phone call from someone who threatens to arrest you for not paying taxes, be very skeptical, especially if you never received any written notice; •Avoid making payments over the phone. Don’t trust someone who demands

that you pay immediately over the phone using a gift card or by sending a wire transfer. These are preferred payment methods for scam artists, because once sent, it’s very difficult to trace or recover the money. The real IRS won’t demand that you pay over the phone using one of these specific methods; •Don’t respond to illegal robocalls in any way. Don’t interact with the caller, and don’t call a number left on your phone or in a message. Responding to a scam call can result in even more calls because it lets con artists know that your phone number belongs to a real person; •Don’t always trust caller ID. Scammers may “spoof” a phone number, making the number on your caller ID appear to be from the IRS, even when it’s not.

For example, a call may appear to be coming from a 202 (Washington D.C.) area code, when it’s actually coming from another country. •Check into call-blocking options. Find out if services are available through your phone carrier, your phone itself, or third-party apps to help you stop unwanted calls. Get help IRS or U.S. Treasury impersonation scams can be reported to the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at www.treasury.gov/tigta or 800-3664484.

Ousky lauded for service to Lake Township A resolution thanking Scott Ousky for 25 years of service on the Lake Township Fire Department was passed last week by the township trustees. Ousky, a captain in the department, was praised by Fire Chief Bruce Moritz for his work as a firefighter, Emergency Medical Technician and instructor. Chief Moritz presented Capt. Ousky with a clock during Tuesday’s trustee meeting and said Ousky’s knowledge about fighting fires, including the use of foam, was extensive. “Anything you want to know about foam, ask Scott,” the chief said. Ousky said, “It’s been a fun ride. I met a lot of great people. But it’s been too busy at my other job. It’s best to move on.” With his retirement, that leaves only two members, Mike Hornyak and Dave Nietz, who were fire fighters on the department before it merged from the Walbridge and Millbury departments, he said.

People birthday Monday, April 16. Ruth was born April 16, 1918 on Grasser Street to German immigrants Lena and Peter Habegger. All of her eight siblings, Hub, Elmer, Bob, Hilda, Edna, Lillian, Mildred and Virginia, have passed away. Ruth enjoyed a very colorful life. She started out taking care of her younger siblings while helping to run the family farm. She married Howard Durivage, and they started Durivage Pattern. The couple had two children, Sharon, who married Terry Gillespie, now deceased, and Larry, who married Gretchen Romstadt. Ruth enjoyed cooking Sunday dinner

for her large family. She would also create floral displays and cakes for weddings. In addition, she fashioned tailor-made suits and upholstered furniture. During the war, she went to work at the Erie Army Depot to help supplement her family’s income. While there, she received citations for her excellence in work. Before Howard passed away in October 1978, her children would bless them with four grandchildren, Mark Durivage, Gary Durivage, Cassandra (Gillespie) Reichow and Jennifer (Gillespie) McLaughlin. She is also blessed to have many great-grandchildren including Amanda (Durivage) Zacharias (Andrew); Derrick Durivage; William Durivage (Sydney); Samantha Durivage; Michael GillespieMcLaughlin; Betty Reichow; Katlin Reichow; Jack Durivage and Samuel Durivage. Ruth found love again with Harold Noren, who cherished her and never forgot an anniversary, birthday or holiday. He also preceded her in death. Years later, she married Don Mallet.

A new Neighborhood Watch program in Lake Township will first focus on the Moline area and the Woodcreek residential area near the Village of Walbridge, Mark Hummer, township police chief, said last week while announcing the program. While the number of watch groups to be formed is still being planned, chief Hummer said the Moline and Woodcreek neighborhoods will be the first to be organized. “They are neighborhoods and good places to start,” the chief said. “There is no real (crime) issue with them.” The township trustees Tuesday approved Hummer’s appointment of Ron Craig to the police auxiliary unit to manage the crime prevention/community policing program. Craig, who will serve as a volunteer, is donating the use of a vehicle for the program. Previously, he was the school resource officer and crime prevention officer in the Village of Bloomville in Seneca County since 2001. Prior to that he was a deputy sheriff in the county for seven years. Craig has already met with residents of Woodcreek and with officials of the Main Street Church in Moline to organize watch groups. The chief said such groups have been proven invaluable in training citizens to be “extra eyes and ears for law enforcement personnel.” “It takes the ‘see something, say something’ adage to a higher level,” he said. “We can only have so many officers on duty to patrol the township, and having these extra eyes and ears out there helps us tremendously.” For information about forming a watch group contact Craig at 419-481-6354.

Six hundred one-pound monster burgers on grill for charity Page April, 2008 Two The exits on the Nostalgia Highway are in 10-year increments. Enjoy this trip through the pages of The Press.

News: Organizers of the Third Annual Gulburger Nite at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Jerusalem Township hoped to sell 600 one-pound monster burgers for $8 each to raise funds for Thrivent for Lutherans, a local charity. The Gulburger was popular for nearly a half-century at the Gulish Villa restaurant on Route 2 and later at The Rock ‘n Rodeo restaurant, which renamed it the Bronco Burger. When Diamond’s Gentlemen’s Club moved into the site, the Gulburger slipped into local lore. The burger is brazed in chicken broth and cooked with salt, pepper, garlic, paprika and one egg per pound. Sports: Detroit Tiger great Willie Horton appeared at the grand opening for Menard’s Oregon store. Horton slugged 36 home runs and batted .285 during the 1968 season when the Tigers won the World Series. He spent 10 years with the team, finishing fourth on the club’s all-time home run list. His number 23 was retired and a statue in his likeness is displayed at Comerica Park along with those of Al Kaline, Charlie Gehringer and Ernie Harwell. *** Greg Yarbrough, professional fisherman from Port Clinton, predicted it would take at least 33-pounds a day with a fivefish limit to make the top-ten cut for the final day of competition at the Walmart FLW Walleye Tour tournament on Lake Erie. Top prize was $100,000. *** Cody Allen, 22, Clay grad, won a national martial arts title when he won the 161-pound weight class in the United States Mixed Martial Arts Championships in Angola, Indiana.

April, 1998 News: High winds and rain produced the most severe flooding the Bayshore area of Oregon had seen in 20 years, according to Mike White, service safety director of the city. Water levels on two streets measured 2.5 to 3.5 feet. Temporary pumps could not keep up with the water spilling over the break walls. The city hoped a dike to be built at Langundovie Ditch would help curb flooding in the future. Sports: The Lake girls softball team set a school record when the Flyers pounded out 28 hits and scored 30 runs in a 30-7 victory over Rossford. The Flyers hit 19 singles, 9 doubles and one triple. Every starter had at least one hit and one RBI. Rossford came back to win the second game of the double-header 11-4. *** Bob Van Horn, veteran swim coach at

...I want to make sure he knows I’m watching him. He’s on that tightrope and I don’t want him to fall off...

“

After law enforcement successfully treats a victim of an accidental narcotics overdose, where does the addict turn to next? In Wood County, Detective Sergeant Ryan Richards, who is the deputy assigned to the Addiction Response Collaborative program, moves in. Then, ARC coordinator Belinda Brooks, follows up. They don’t waste any time, either, because they want to see the victim find treatment, recover, and find his way back to his family, his job, and friends. In the first two months after the program started, ARC played a role in keeping 14 of 15 addicts sober. One went to jail, unfortunately, but he remained sober while there, and the one who didn’t remain sober just wrote off the treatment entirely. Let Sgt. Richards explain it. Keep in mind, he refers to the victim as John Doe, but he’s describing a real incident. “I’ll get a message on my phone and a phone call from our road sergeant that John Doe overdosed and our deputies are on the scene right now. John Doe goes en route to the hospital; deputies on scene administer two doses of Narcan,” Richards says, sounding like Joe Friday from the television show Dragnet. “I go to the hospital, speak with John Doe. I try to speak with him, but he’s still overdosing an hour after the initial overdose. His dose of heroin that he got was so strong that an hour afterwards four doses (of Narcan) through the nose and then two through his I.V., he’s still in the hospital bed and can’t talk to me because he’s falling asleep,” Sgt. Richards continues. “So, we wait around until the doctors can wake him up enough that he can talk. He tells me that he has a long history of a heroin problem and has been battling it. He’s also familiar to our office through past investigations, so he’s familiar to myself, our office, the prosecutor’s office and everything like that. “Belinda comes up and she now starts a process at the hospital to get him enrolled and medicated. He gets released the next day and I tell him I’m going to be in contact with him. I randomly show up at his door four days later. ‘Surprise. The cops are here. We’re just making sure you’re doing alright.’ ‘Oh, cool — thanks, I appreciate that. ’ he says. “So now he has 30 days that we want to get him into an initial assessment to seek treatment. Belinda then stays in contact with the family and John Doe to see what his needs are. Does he need a ride to treatment? Is it better for him to go to Toledo for treatment or in Perrysburg? “In the meantime, I will show up at his door or surprise him at a gas station. ‘Hello, again. cops here.’ Because I want to make sure he knows I’m watching him. He’s on that tightrope and I don’t want him to fall off. So I will sporadically just surprise him

(Photo by Lois Anne Bowlus/www.GratefulEyePhotography.com) once in a while, call him, ‘What are you doing?’ “Thirty-five days after, (John Doe says) ‘Well, I’ve got to pay off these court fines.’ OK, so Belinda and I work together and now John Doe has a job. So now John Doe is able to pay off his court fines and now John Doe is in the process of enrolling in the military. That’s a breakdown of what I do.” So Brooks is already involved, but she has plenty more to do. Like the Lucas County DART program does, she immediately gets to work finding John Doe health

Belinda Brooks— “We partnered up with the (county) health department and most of these individuals don’t have any insurance, so that was one barrier. I will physically go out and do their Medicaid application. So, before we can take them anywhere, they have health insurance,” Brooks begins. “Not only that, but I’ll make sure I get them a wellness visit at the health department three or four weeks later, after they

get healthy. Because that is huge — their medical care is important.” Then she refers to the real case that Sgt. Richards was talking about, and what happened. “I met Detective Richards at the hospital and we got him (John Doe) into the Zepf Center four hours later for an assessment and that kid has continued his treatment the whole time. He’s done great, and I will continue to care with him and the family and he keeps in contact with them,” Brooks said. “In that certain situation, keeping him local was fine. A lot of times, we’ve had several individuals where keeping them local is not an option. We’ve had to move people to Marion, to Columbus, because keeping them here in Toledo, they have too many people they know — too many tricksters, too many enabling parents, which I was one. They don’t mean to be, but they are, so sometimes taking them away from here is something that we need to do,” Brooks continues. “But, we stay with them for the long haul and we want to make sure that their recovery has no barriers. In recovery, it’s so easy to relapse, so we want to take all the reasons for them to relapse out of the equation and help them. So, if they need a ride, if they need something, if their care is not what they want, then we’ll change it. So, I coordinate all that care. “Since we started this program, and we are new, in November and December we had 15 individuals that we helped. Out of those 15 people, one person told us basically, ‘Forget it.’ He was on a furlough, on probation, and was in care, and he left. And, we had one other individual on furlough who decided that he didn’t want to stay on treatment. Instead of leaving, we got him transportation back to jail, so he’s at least is not using, which is a good thing. “So, 14 out of our 15 individuals that we have been working with are all sober to this day. We’ve helped way more than that. Looking at the big picture — that is huge statistics, where we are at today. So, this program can work and recovery is possible, but it’s a matter of making them be accountable to us.” The ARC program can be reached at 419-373-3900.

How opioids, heroin affect the brain’s ‘executive director’ By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com In a presentation on how opiates affect the nervous system and cause addiction, Dr. Ted Bowlus noted that “not everyone who takes an opioid for a valid reason becomes addicted.” That doesn’t mean some people should take opioids for granted. Dr. Bowlus warns, “The sooner the person becomes exposed to narcotics, the more likely he becomes an addict.” Dr. Bowlus is an adjunct professor of neuroscience at the University of Findlay Graduate School and also a Wood County Commissioner. Dr. Bowlus is hosting opioid forums around the county, including one already held at the Pemberville American Legion Hall. He has another planned for North Baltimore and hopes to set up one up in Northwood or Rossford soon. The forums include panel sessions involving experts from Wood County and elsewhere who talk about programs, prevention through education, and even provide a little neuroscience and brain chemistry. In Pemberville, the keynote speaker was nationally renowned Lucas County Coroner’s Office Chief Toxicologist Dr. Robert Forney Dr. Bowlus says opiates affect the frontal lobe and prefrontal lobe of the brain, which he calls “the ‘executive director’ of the way you act.” In a single brain, there are 100 billion neurons, enough to stretch to the moon and back six times, that get flooded with feel-good chemicals. “When you take narcotics, there is a flooding of dopamine to the brain, which affects the pre-frontal cortex, which influences pleasure and cravings in the brain for more narcotics,” Dr. Bowlus said. Dr. Bowlus said signs of opiate addiction include apathetic behavior, disorientation, behavior that suddenly switches from euphoria to drowsiness, a slow heart rate, loss of weight, and pinpoint pupils in the eyes. Withdrawal symptoms include crav-

include over-prescribing by doctors, mental health problems by the user leading to self-medicating, emotional causes such as social isolation, and physical and psychological causes, such as brain chemistry in some individuals will make them more prone to addiction.

The gift of life Though spring has officially arrived, the American Red Cross blood supply is still recovering from severe winter storms in March. Donors of all blood types are urged to roll up a sleeve and help save lives. Winter weather in parts of the country forced more than 270 blood drives to cancel, resulting in more than 9,500 uncollected blood and platelet donations in the first two weeks of March. No matter the weather, the need for blood to help cancer patients, those undergoing surgeries, trauma patients and others remains. Make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767).

Women urged to protect vision during Eye Health Month Statistics show more women than men have eye disease, such as age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma and dry eye. Women also may have vision issues related to pregnancy and menopause. Prevent Blindness has designated April as Women’s Eye Health and Safety Awareness Month in an effort to educate women about these issues as well as provide recommendations on the best ways to take care of vision. According to the Prevent Blindness study, “The Future of Vision: Forecasting the Prevalence and Costs of Vision Problems,” 63 percent of those who are currently blind and 62 percent of those that are visually impaired are women. Women are at higher risk for dry eye disease, a condition where the eyes do not produce enough tears or enough quality tears to keep the eyes lubricated. Dry eye is more prevalent in women in the menopausal and postmenopausal age group,

due to the changes in balance of hormones. Women who are pregnant, or on certain types of birth control, may experience dry eye. Symptoms of dry eye include: • Feeling a burning or stinging in eyes • Feeling like there are particles in eyes • A gritty, sandy feeling in eyes • Itchiness • Redness and inflammation of eyes • Stringy mucus in eyes • Extreme sensitivity, especially to cigarette smoke Anyone experiencing these symptoms, or any other changes in vision, should consult an eyecare professional immediately. Vision loss can be significantly lessened when eye problems are detected and treated early. Prevent Blindness offers a free listing of financial assistance services in English and Spanish atwww.preventblindness.org/

vision-care-financial-assistance-information. For the third consecutive year, OCuSOFT ® Inc., a privately-held eye and skin care company dedicated to innovation in eyelid hygiene and ocular health, will support April’s Women’s Eye Health and Safety Awareness Month with a donation to Prevent Blindness. “We want to remind women of every age that the key to healthy vision in the future is taking care of the eyes today,” said Sherry Williams, President & CEO of the Ohio Affiliate of Prevent Blindness Affiliate. “Wearing the proper eye protection, quitting smoking, eating healthy foods, and talking to an eyecare professional about any vision changes or changes in medications, are just a few ways to help ensure a lifetime of healthy vision.” For more info on women’s eye health, contact Prevent Blindness, Ohio Affiliate at 800-301-2020 or visit www.pbohio.org.

Furniture tip-overs continued from page 10 climb on or play inside a dresser or other kinds of furniture used to store clothes. In 2016, there were an estimated 2,800 tipover injuries involving children younger than age 6 and these products. Between 2000 and 2016, 195 people died as a direct result of these products tipping over, and the vast majority were young kids. With child injuries on the rise and no tip-over laws on the books, Consumer Reports recently released findings of a yearlong investigation into furniture tip-overs. As part of the investigation, CR analyzed thousands of incident reports from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. In addition, CR scientifically tested 24 dresser models, available at popular online and retail stores, to determine which were more likely to tip over and which could withstand more rigorous tests. CR found that the voluntary standard leaves too many children at risk and does not cover enough of the marketplace. There is no way for consumers to simply look at a dresser and tell whether it’s more likely to tip over. CR is calling for a stronger, mandatory standard for furniture in order to protect more people and help avoid tip-over injuries and deaths. In the meantime, CR says the most effective way to prevent tip-overs is to secure dressers to walls. To see how, check out the full story available at www.CR.org/tipover

Obituary

Timothy L. Williams

February 15, 1952 ~ April 3, 2018 Timothy L. Williams, 66 years old, owner of the popular and successful Big Apple Deli on Woodville Road in Oregon, a well-known and respected businessman as well as an avid outdoorsman, passed away on Tuesday April 3 surrounded by the love of family and friends. A 1970 graduate of Northwood High School, Tim was a standout football player for the Northwood Rangers. Playing quarterback and linebacker his senior year, he led the Rangers to an undefeated season and Lakeshore Conference crown. He was named conference player of the year as a senior, and also was awarded all-conference honors as a basketball player. In addition, he was a member of the conference champion mile-and-a-half relay team in track. Tim was a proud supporter of Northwood athletic program, providing numerous scholarships in memory of his father, Tommy Williams. Over the years, many Big Apple Open golf events provided the funds for these scholarships for well-deserving students. In addition, the funds were used by Northwood High School to update the weight room. He was recruited by Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, receiving a full scholarship. He went on to play as the BIG tight end on the undefeated 1973 team that won the MAC crown, ¿nished No. 12 in the country – a high for a MAC team – and defeated Florida in the Tangerine Bowl. Tim was coached by Bill Mallory, who along with his wife, Miss Ellie, would become a strong inÀuence on Tim for the rest of his life. A proud Redskin, Tim was the recipient of Miami’s prestigious Cradle of Coaches award that year along with all-conference honors. He also received Outstanding Freshman of the Year Award. After three seasons at Miami, he signed with the Memphis Southmen of the former World Football League where he was coached by John McVay, Sr. As Tim would tell the story, “he had a cup of coffee in the World Football League,” as early on at Memphis, his leg was broken in three places during practice, ending his football prospects.

Tim returned to Miami, where he earned his degree in physical education. He went on to teach and coach brieÀy at Perrysburg Junior High School and then two years at Gibsonburg High School, where as head coach, assisted by Joel Pinkerton, the team compiled a 14-6 record. Switching careers, Tim became a salesman for WOHO radio in Toledo before establishing the Big Apple Deli in 1982. His jovial, energetic, can-do personality doubtless had much to do with the success of the deli. “He was a great man, a man of his word,” said his wife, Bonnie. “He never met a stranger.” He wore his gap-toothed smile as a personality trademark, as he once told a dentist who wanted to correct it, “Why? Then nobody would recognize me.” The deli continues to be a popular dining and catering business. Tim and Bonnie turned over the operation of the Big Apple to Matt Acton, their son-in-law in a “passing of the slicer” family ceremony. Tim was a supporter of the local community, where he donated his time and talents to many charity events. He was a past recipient of the Prism Award from the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce. Tim followed in the outdoors footsteps of his father, Tommy, who owned properties in the Dakotas. The pair would spend many hunting seasons together, forming friendships across the country. They enjoyed hunting ducks, pheasants, and deer, among other game. The tradition continued as their grandson Nolan would join Tim and Bonnie in the Dakotas. Tim went on to hunt bear in Alaska, elk in Colorado, deer in Iowa, waterfowl in Louisiana and Saskatchewan and British Columbia, and feral hogs in Michigan and Florida. He was experienced hunter who was at home in the wilderness. “I once watched him sneak up on a sleeping deer and hit it in the head with a snowball,” said Bonnie. He enjoyed his hunting dogs, favoring Chesapeake Bay retrievers, almost all of them

in a long line named after various artists and songs, such as Daltrey, Elvis, Lacey, Angus, Bocephus, Matea, Brooks & Dunn, Reba, Waylon, Lola, and many more. He was a life member of Ducks Unlimited, often serving on local fundraising banquet committees, and a life member of Pheasants Forever and the NRA. He one time addressed the national DU convention in San Antonio, getting the audience’s attention by tearing a telephone book in half. Tim received Ducks Unlimited Man of the Year Award in the early 1990s and recently was honored as 2016 Conservation Man of the Year by the Maumee Ducks Unlimited Chapter. Though hunting was his ¿rst outdoors love, Tim also enjoyed ¿shing and golf. He had tremendous vision and an athlete’s hand-eye coordination, and he excelled whether swinging a shotgun on a clay target or swinging a golf club. Tim met Bonnie, the love of his life, in 1985 and the couple were married in 2007. “He surprised me by proposing in Las Vegas,” she said.

He and “Ole What’s Her Name” enjoyed life. “Tim was a wonderful father to my children,” she said. “He set a great example by instilling the family motto, ‘The hardest thing to do is the right thing to do.’ “Tim was the best thing that ever happened to me, and I told him he had to tell me the same thing, and he did,” she said. Tim was born Feb. 15, 1952, in Toledo to the late Tommy and Orma Williams. He was also preceded in death by his aunts Helen Farmer and Margie Le Tiecq, cousins Jerry Farmer and Suzanne (Reitzel) Facer as well as special friends, Tom & Michelle Shirek and Cheryl Freed, of North Dakota, and hunting companion Harley Olson, of Colorado. Tim is also survived by his son, Spencer Boose, of Warren, Michigan; daughter Billie (Matt) Acton, of Temperance, Michigan; and grandchildren Nolan and twins Luke and Allie; sister Linda (Frank) Mortimer, of Spokane, Washington; and nephew Mike (Julie) and their children Nick, Savannah, and Dylan; nephew James (Jen), and their son Logan, along with many loving cousins from the Pemberville area. Tim had a special connection with the “farmers,” as well as Uncle Mike (Sue) and their family from the Brighton, Michigan area. “Tim was the hub of a lot of friendships,” Bonnie said. Bonnie would like to thank the Miami and North Dakota families as well as many other friends and family “who have supported us while we were ‘¿ghting the ¿ght.’” Special thanks to Rocko, Nebs, Little Ron, Dweeb, Kathy, and Judy for your love and support. We would be remiss not to mention the outstanding care that Tim received from Dr. Mark Nadaud, Dr. R.C. Phinney, and Dr. Kara Hertzfeld. Services are pending at Eggleston Meinert & Pavley Funeral Home, Millbury Chapel.

T. Whitehead to hold poker run & hog roast fundraiser By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Editor news@presspublications.com The T. Whitehead Recovery Center will hold its Third Annual TWRC Motorcycle Poker Run and Hog Roast Saturday, May 19. According to Kevin Bellman, vice president, the recovery center is raising money to help men who are homeless to have their first couple of months of rent paid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get a lot of men who have literally nothing,â&#x20AC;? Bellman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many men do not have jobs and they have burned their last bridge. Many are coming out of jail, a recovery program or a hospital. The monies raised will help the center help them to continue with their recovery.â&#x20AC;? TWRC, formerly the Idle Time, was originally opened by Tom Whitehead in 1973. Now managed by the Association of Recovering Motorcyclists, (ARM), TWRC is both a halfway home to men and a place where men and women with substance abuse disorders can meet on a regular basis to discuss their problems and support each other in their programs of recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We currently have 10 residents, but we do have room for 20,â&#x20AC;? Bellman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 12 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and one Narcotics Anonymous meetings per week.â&#x20AC;? TWRC has purchased the apartment building next door and work continues there, Bellman said. The center is also trying to get funding to expand and upgrade the current kitchen. Residents get three meals a day and lodging with the rent they pay. TWRC works at trying to help the men get their GEDs (General Education Development) and if they need help getting Social Security Disability and SNAP Benefits, they will also help them apply for those. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seen a drop in drug activity in our neighborhood,â&#x20AC;? Bellman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ever since we got more involved in Block Watch, I would say a lot of the trouble has moved away from here. We also do lawns

(Submitted photo) and tree trimming with with the code enforcement arm of the City of Toledo to raise funds for the center as well. This makes us more visible around which helps the neighborhood.â&#x20AC;? The funds raised will also be used for programming, and the continued upkeep of the center. TWRC is located at 2044 Genesee St., in Toledo. Registration for the Poker Run will begin at 8:30 a.m. Bikes will leave at 9:30 a.m. Participants will receive an event

T-shirt and a hog roast dinner when they finish the run. Those not participating in the Poker Run can come and have dinner beginning at 1 p.m. Dinners will include the roasted pig, sides and drinks, Bellman said. The event will run until 7 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be like a block party with games for the kids as well as a bounce house,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will also have a dunk tank, music, a Big Six Wheel and the High Low Game. It will be a fun day for everyone.â&#x20AC;?

The event will also include door prizes, 50/50 raffles and an auction for a fishing trip. TWRC event T-shirts will be available for sale, as well as treats from a bake sale. Information on the opioid epidemic, where to get help, and information on NARCAN will also be available. The center is accepting donations of food, clothing and household items.

Word is out — Mud Hens not overloaded with prospects By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com

Grayson Greiner (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) my job to make them better at what they do. It’s pretty plain and simple. I’m not going to try and teach a sinker ball pitcher to be a power pitcher, and vice versa. I try to get the best out of each guy and help them out with their delivery to be consistent and make quality pitches.” The Hens opened the season on Friday, April 6 at Louisville. Opening day at Fifth Third Field is set for Thursday, April 12 at 4:05 p.m. against Pawtucket. ‘Challenged in their own ways’ Mientkiewicz’s coaching staff also includes Brian Harper, who returns for a second season as Mud Hens hitting coach, with third base coach Basilio Cabrera entering his third year with Toledo. Athletic trainer Chris McDonald returns for his fifth season and Jeff Mathers joins as strength and conditioning coach. The Hens will begin the campaign with a mix of new prospects and a lot of familiar faces. “With respect to the guys we’ve got here, I’m excited for the season. We’ve got a younger group than we’ve had in the past. We’re all going to be playing as hard as we can each game, which is what we strive for. As a team, I think all the pieces will fall together as they need to, and it’s going to be a really fun season,” Hardy added, The roster includes players from four different countries (USA-18, Dominican Republic-4, Canada-2, Venezuela-1), and 12 with previous playing time in Toledo. Mientkiewicz says it will take some time to find out what each of these players can do. He’s seen most at spring camp in Lakeland, but not all. “There are always challenges,” Mientkiewicz said. “Obviously, it’s a new league for me. I’ve got to get to know these guys — the first couple weeks, the first

The word is out that this year’s Toledo Mud Hens roster is not overloaded with Major League prospects. Scouts say only three players are among the ranks of top Detroit Tigers minor league prospects. Is that good for Toledo, or for Detroit? The issue at this level has always been, is it good to have prospects who eventually leave for the big leagues, or is it bad? A lot of Major League prospects means those players will likely move on to the big stage, leaving the Hens depleted and unable to compete for an International League crown. So, will the lack of prospects help keep Mud Hens players in Toledo and give them a shot at winning baseball games? That is the challenge facing first-year manager Doug Mientkiewicz, a Toledo native, and his staff. They want to help these players move onto the next level, but they want to win baseball games in Toledo, also. “It’s a job,” Mientkiewicz said. “You have to please the front office in Detroit, first and foremost. When they have ideas they want us to do, we have to do that and we understand that. Sometimes, it’s hard for affiliates to understand. Sometimes, trying to win a game at your affiliate does not coincide with what we’re trying to do, depending on the moves that are made. “We’ll make it work and we always do and sometimes you can tell, and sometimes it’s hard for people to understand, but at the end of the day we feel like we are deep. It’s a 25-man roster and it doesn’t matter who is out there, we’re still expecting to win,” Mientkiewicz continued. “Depending on the injuries up in Detroit, the pitching could be up and down a lot. Offensively, we have some guys who have been in this league before, which helps, and a combination of prospects and guys who have been around a little bit. They enjoy playing and you’ll see it in the way they play.” Even the players understand the challenge. Six-foot-2, 215 pound southpaw pitcher Blaine Hardy, a 31-year-old from Seattle, Washington, played with the Hens and Tigers last year. “That’s the one tough thing, especially at the Triple A level, is that you usually have so many guys that their main goal is to make it to the big leagues,” Hardy said. “With this group of guys, obviously that is the main goal, but I think that having fun and a winning season are on the same pedestal because no one likes losing. I think we have an even more competitive team than we had last year and I think we’re going to be a fun team to watch this year.” One of the biggest prospects, in more ways than one, is Grayson Greiner, a 6-6, 220 pound catcher from Columbia, South Carolina who split time between Double A Erie and Toledo in 2017 and was one of the last to get cut from the Tigers playing roster. But there are pitchers, too. Pitching coach Jeff Pico, who in his third year in Toledo, admits there are a “couple guys” who will likely end up in Detroit, but from his perspective, it’s going to be a learning situation for him figuring out how to get the best out of his pitching staff. “They’re all challenged in their own ways,” Pico said. “Everybody is different, everybody throws the ball differently. It’s

month will be to just let them play and kind of feel them out, and let them go from there. The first month is more for observing things and make sure you help them individually, but get them to play together and try to win some ballgames.” Having 12 players who have been here does provide some familiarity and team chemistry, says 28-year-old Jason Krizan, a 6-0, 185 outfielder who hails from Austin, Texas. Krizan was with the Hens and at Double A Erie last year. “We’ve got a lot of young guys on this team. It should be a lot of fun. I came up with a couple of the players — played with them last year. We’ve got some familiar faces and we have some new faces on the team,” Krizan said. There is a challenge that some players will face that is different than the rest — coming to America to pursue their dreams. Take for example 23-year-old Edwin Espinal, who hails from Mao Valverde in the Dominican. The 6-2, 250 pound infielder was with Altoona at the Double A level

and also spent time with Indianapolis at Triple A last year. “We’re all here for one goal — to win the championship,” Espinal said in broken English. “You know, I’m from the Dominican, so I also have to find out how I can be comfortable here.” Top notch facilities Mientkiewicz grew up in Toledo but went to high school in Florida. He remembers Ned Skeldon Stadium, the former home of the Mud Hens, as a child, but loves the new digs where the Hens play now. “It’s beautiful,” Mientkiewicz said. “The last time I was here, this wasn’t here. I was just a little kid, and Minor League baseball has come a long way. I was a minor league player and this is as good as it gets — it’s like a big league facility. “I’ve been looking forward to coming back. It’s coming back home for me. But, more importantly, it’s trying to get these guys to fulfill their dreams and help the Big League club in Detroit,” the Hens manager continued. “I’m looking forward to getting going. Obviously, we have a very good group of professionals, which means they enjoy coming to the field every day, they enjoy working, and it’s a fun group to work with.” The manager is not the only one to rave about Fifth Third Field. Chad Huffman, a 6-1, 215 pound infielder from Houston, Texas, raves about the ballpark, fans, and Toledo. He was not only in Toledo last year, but was with Syracuse and Memphis at the Triple A level and had a stint in the big leagues with the St. Louis Cardinals. Krizan echoed Huffman’s feelings. “Toledo is a lot of fun. The ballpark is great, the fans are great, and it’s always a joy to come out here and play in front of the people,” Krizan said.

Woodmore senior Eli Rogers signs with Defiance College Woodmore senior soccer player Eli Rogers returned his varsity blue and gold soccer uniform, but he is looking forward to putting on purple and gold this fall. He signed with the NCAA Division III Defiance College Yellow Jackets in February. Rogers, who earned second team AllNorthern Buckeye Conference honors this year, has been on the Woodmore varsity soccer team since his freshman year and has been playing since he was 8. He went from being a midfielder to a forward during his high school career. He believes he will be playing left or right forward for Defiance. Roger’s teammates know he is ready to play soccer at the next level. “I really do think he fits this role,” said junior Alec Garcia. “He’s a team leader, and with his speed, he can dribble through everybody.” Rogers decided on Defiance because he observed how close the team is and could really see himself fitting in. “I decided to choose Defiance because of the way they work together as a team during games,” said Rogers. Rogers is looking forward to the opportunity because it will be a big change, and he is ready for the next chapter in his life. He has been planning to play soccer at the collegiate level for a long time. “I even wrote about it in my eighth grade autobiography. This is a dream I’ve had for a very long time, and I’m glad that it’s finally coming true,” said Rogers. While attending Defiance, Rogers plans to major in nursing.

Clay’s first boys lacrosse team learning the hard way By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Clay’s first-year boys lacrosse team got its inaugural taste of competition when it took on Bowling Green in its season opener. BG handed the Eagles a 16-2 loss, prompting coach Joe Kiss and his players to adopt a motto for the 2018 season. “We got beat up pretty good that first game, so after that game our motto became ‘Rome wasn’t build in a day,’ ” Kiss said. “I sent that out to the guys after that game and we’ve been building off that. Everything we do to get ourselves better, we refer to that as building Rome.” The Eagles had a 1-3 record as of Wednesday, with the first win in program history coming against another first-year program, Lima Senior, by a 6-2 margin. Kiss said the team has 10 seniors, seven juniors, 10 sophomores and two freshmen. Clay plays a 15-game schedule, with seven games against junior varsity squads. Kiss, a 2015 Clay grad and a two-year starter on the Eagles’ football team, admitted he didn’t know much about lacrosse when athletic director Mark Beach approached him about possibly taking the coaching position. Kiss said only 15 boys showed up at the first open gym for lacrosse. “I started talking to people (after the open gym) and started getting people to come out,” Kiss said. “We had about 25 for the first official day of practice. I had never played lacrosse before that open gym. It was very new and interesting and foreign to me. I took the job two or three months prior to the season starting. I really had to dive in and become a student of the game and learn from scratch right along with the kids. The (Clay) administration and students have been very supportive.” Kiss said he stresses to his players to focus on improving every day and not worry about other teams. “We can’t compare ourselves to other teams,” Kiss said. “We’re getting better every day, as individuals and as a team. That’s what the important thing is this first year, get acclimated and have fun doing it. We’ve gotten tremendously better since our first

We’ve been making huge strides and it’s really promising to see these kids pick it up so quickly and enjoying it like they are.” Kiss said he contacted Ed Alzipeidi of the Black Swamp LAX, a local lacrosse club, and arranged a clinic that included the former women’s lacrosse coach at Lourdes University and the boys coach at Anthony Wayne High School. “Ed gave me some practice plans, and I went to a meeting with them and went over some chalk talk items about basic lacrosse,” Kiss said, adding that Clay’s lacrosse players have diverse athletic backgrounds. “We have a few soccer players, football players, hockey guys,” Kiss said. “One of my surprises was seeing all those kids using the prior knowledge they learned from other sports to learn lacrosse in a unique type of way.”

Beach was given a recommendation for a girls coach by the staff at Lourdes. He offered the position to current Lourdes lacrosse player Tiara Reed, a sophomore who graduated from Anthony Wayne in 2016. Reed played three years of high school lacrosse at AW, but this is her first head coaching gig. “It’s going well,” she said. “I like it a lot and it’s a big learning experience.” Reed said about eight girls showed up at the first open gym, but the team currently has 28 players. “I was very nervous (after the open gym),” Reed said. “Clinics were hosted through the school, and I emailed a lot of girls to see if they were interested. A lot of girls started asking if they could play.” Fourteen of the Eagles’ 15 games will be played against junior varsity programs.

The lone varsity squad they face will be AW, which Reed said only has a varsity team. Clay lost its first two games to open the season, falling to St. Ursula Academy, 22-0, and losing to Notre Dame Academy, 11-4. “The first game was kind of rocky because we didn’t yet get to play on a lined field,” Reed said. “The second game, we looked real good. We scored our first four goals and we were excited about that.” Asked about her players’ lacrosse learning curve, Reed said they have picked up the sport “very fast.” “There’s still some things they struggle with,” she said. “They understand the overall dynamics of the sport, such as knowing the field, checking. They picked up on all the concepts pretty fast. I started playing in sixth grade and it took me a while to understand everything as a whole.”

Lacrosse program gets warm welcome at Clay High By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com When Clay Athletic Director Mark Beach started getting feedback that the high school should offer lacrosse to it students, he took that feedback seriously. The Eagles had never offered a lacrosse program, boys or girls, and the conference they play in, the Three Rivers Athletic Conference, does not compete for a championship in that sport. One of Clay’s conference rivals, Lima Senior, started a boys lacrosse program this spring. “I knew the OHSAA (Ohio High School Athletic Association) was sanctioning lacrosse for the first time this year,” Beach said. “Through many athletic directors’ conferences the last three or four years, we talked about lacrosse being the fastest growing sport and it was going to be sanctioned by the OHSAA. My thought was to get in at the beginning of sanctioning. We talked with the booster club about it potentially becoming a sport at Clay.” Beach said a year went by after an initial proposal was brought to the table when he was asked again about lacrosse becoming a varsity sport at Clay. His response was that he wanted to make sure there was a demand by the athletes themselves before the school dived into starting up a lacrosse program. “The occasional person had asked about it, but there were no quantifiable demands,” Beach said. “They got some petitions out there and came back with over 100 kids who were interested in playing lacrosse. Having been a coach here for a long time, if 50 kids sign up, 40 will show up and 20 will stick around. It looked like it would be viable, then we looked into what it would cost.” Beach said he got in touch with US Lacrosse and learned that the organization could donate some lacrosse equipment to Clay. “That was critical,” Beach said. “I applied for a grant and we ended up with $14,000 worth of equipment over the winter. Knowing we were going to get equipment, I went to pitch it to the (school) board that we had the demand, we had the equipment covered, and we wanted to

apply as a probationary sport within our district. We thought we had the demand, and we had the costs covered.” Beach said the school board agreed to a two-year pilot program, “and low and behold we had a larger demand show up than we anticipated,” according to Beach. “The demand appears to be there,” he said. “We’ll see if we have a similar demand next year. It would (then) likely become a permanent sport.” In addition to Ottawa Hills High School, Beach said six of the eight schools in the TRAC and six of the eight schools in the Northern Lakes League compete in lacrosse. He said if any of Clay’s sports teams were to be affected by the addition of lacrosse to the program, it would probably be track and field. “A lot of our kids who are playing lacrosse are kids who haven’t played another sport,” Beach said. “I have football guys playing lacrosse, hockey players ... The football players seem to love it. It seems if anybody gets impacted it would

be the track program. Coaches prefer their football players to stay active, and usually that’s in track.” The Eagles’ boys teams have a 15game schedule this spring, including seven against junior varsity teams. Clay’s girls’ squad also has a 15-game schedule, all against jayvee teams except for Anthony Wayne, which only has a varsity squad. Once Beach got approval for a startup lacrosse program, he began looking for coaches. He talked with Black Swamp LAX, a local lacrosse club, and arranged a lacrosse clinic with Ed Alzipeidi. “He got all the local high school coaches (to the clinic) and brought some equipment that we didn’t have yet,” Beach said. “It was amazing for us. He did that a second time, arranging some people to come over and help out. I can’t thank him and the local coaches enough.” Beach talked with potential coaching candidates and got input from other sources that were knowledgeable about the sport. “I thought Joey (Kiss) would be a great

coach on the guys’ side.” Beach said. “He’s a young guy who bleeds our school colors. He has some experience coaching with our freshman football team and eighth grade basketball team, and he’s got the energy and the intangibles you’re looking for in a coach.” Lourdes University’s women’s lacrosse coaches recommended one of the Gray Wolves’ players as a potential candidate to coach Clay’s girls program. Her name was Tiara Reed. “Lourdes thought they had a player on their team who would be well suited,” Beach said. “I met with Tiara and she really wanted to do it.” Beach said he was impressed by the cooperation he received from the lacrosse community. “These other high schools and all these groups really have been pulling for us and doing whatever they can to help us get lacrosse established here,” Beach said. “They really want to grow the sport. It’s amazing.”

Heintschel earns NCAA postgrad scholarship Ball State soccer goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel (Clay) has been selected for a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. She will receive a $7,500 scholarship toward the graduate degree program of their choice.

35 career victories. Her 0.77 goals against average over the past four years also set a school record and ranks third in MidAmerican Conference annals. The three-year team captain from Oregon has maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA on Ball State’s chemistry, pre-med track. She will graduate in May and then plans to attend medical school. She was a CoSIDA Academic All-District, Academic All-MAC and MAC Distinguished Scholar Athlete selection in each of her final three seasons. Heintschel helped the Cardinals win two MAC regular season championships and three West Division titles in her career. In her final season, she was one of five players in the country named to the Senior CLASS Award First Team for women’s soccer. BSU recipients have claimed five of the nine NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships awarded to MAC student-athletes over the past two years.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Altering Destiny Will things be different after we die? There is a natural tendency to think that there will be a radical transformation after death, that we will be unburdened by our bodies and that our souls will fly off to heaven and be united with God. But then shouldn’t we prepare our souls now to be with God? The truth is that God won’t be changing, and probably neither will we. Our souls and the virtues and appetites we cultivate become more or less permanent parts of who we are. If you have cultivated a spirit of love and compassion in your life, and live in the presence of God, you can certainly expect more of this in the hereafter, but if you have cultivated a spirit of anger

Oregon

and hatred, or any of the other vices, these have become a part of your soul. Fortunately, these things can be changed, but only with steadfast hard work and a conscious decision to alter our characters. We can change our destiny, but only if we do the hard work necessary to change our characters. If you aren’t living in the presence of God now, what makes you think you’ll be in his presence in the hereafter? Live now as you would for eternity. “The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other because love covers over a multitude of sins.” —1 Peter 4:7-8 NIV

Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service.
