Oregon getting new grocery store By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com A new grocery store, which is planning to locate off Navarre Avenue in Oregon, is still discussing terms to buy out stores in the Freeway Plaza on Navarre Avenue, where it wants to locate. Lidl, based in Germany, has been negotiating with small businesses in the plaza for several months. “It’s my understanding that an arrangement has come with all the terms, and they have not executed all of them,” said Mayor Mike Seferian, though he said the city is not involved in the negotiations. “This is a private business decision between Lidl and the owners of the properties in Freeway Plaza,” said City Administrator Mike Beazley. “They haven’t completed that process yet. But I think they’re fairly along in their discussions. It’s likely we’ll see something happen with Lidl sometime next year.” Lidl is likely to buy the former Berman Supper Club property next to the site as well, said Beazley.
We’re saying goodbye to our old store! Watch for the opening of our new location!

They plan on opening about 600 stores in the U.S., and the store on Navarre would be the first in this region.

Without wetlands, birders could not claim that Lake Erie’s shoreline is the Warbler Capital of the World. The Toledo Area Metroparks’ latest project in Jerusalem Township will continue the process of restoring badly-needed coastal wetlands in the Warbler Capital. Metroparks’ Natural Resources Supervisor Denis Franklin says coastal wetlands are critically important to a healthy Lake Erie, and they are imperiled. One of the most ambitious projects in the history of the Metroparks is restoring part of a 1,000-acre wetland, Howard Marsh on State Route 2, near the lakeshore. The future Metropark is adjacent to the Metzger Marsh State Wildlife Area in a region that also includes Maumee Bay State Park, Magee Marsh State Wildlife Area and the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. Franklin says, together, these local, state and federal public lands are known for their concentration of songbirds, or warblers, especially during spring migration. The new park will create a nearly eightmile continuous stretch of public lands developed into wetlands. Throw in Maumee Bay State Park and Cedar Point Wildlife Refuge to the west and 11,687 acres of unique wetlands are or will be preserved for waterfowl habitat and the public’s enjoyment. “This restoration project or any restoration project is critical because that whole type of habitat is almost completely gone,” Franklin said. “We’ve lost over 90 percent of that in the Great Lakes region, so anytime we can put habitat, especially something this size, back on the ground, it absolutely is exciting.” Franklin has been with the Metroparks seven years after a long stint with the Ohio Division of Wildlife managing Magee Marsh and Metzger Marsh. The entrance into Magee Marsh has been renamed “Denis Franklin Parkway.” “I’ve always been in wetland habitat Continued on page 2
Once that process is completed, Lidl will contact city officials to indicate it is ready to move forward and submit a site plan for final approval, he added. “We’ll be looking at drainage, access, things like that,” said Beazley. “But the expectation is there wouldn’t be any hurdles getting it done. The store fits with the zoning in the area, and for us.”
More choices Lidl would compete for shoppers going to Kroger, Meijer and Walmart stores in Oregon. “We think we have a lot of great grocery shopping choices for our residents right now, but anytime we can get more choices for our residents, we’re excited about that,” said Beazley. Lidl though, would offer a smaller store at just 35,000 square feet, compared to the larger 150,000 square foot grocery stores. “Some people love to have the full shopping choice of getting to big Meijer, Kroger or Walmart stores, and having those options of 150,000 square feet,” said Beazley. “Others are looking for the experience of getting around in a smaller store rather than in a larger one. There are lots of different consumer needs. We’re looking forward to expanding those options for our residents. These are market decisions, and our market could meet their needs, especially as we upgrade Navarre Avenue and do the work on Hollydale that provides an Continued on page 6

As Howard Marsh develops, wildlife finding new home
Let the reversion begin Franklin’s job includes documenting the progress of daily construction through photographs and field reports. As construction continues converting the former farm to wetlands, he’s already seeing wetlands wildlife habitat arriving on the scene, and the park has not even opened to the public yet. He stresses that most of the vegetation is still comparable to what would be found in a farm field, but that will change as excavation continues and eventually water is gravity-fed into the park through Ward’s

Continued from front page management, and (Howard Marsh) does support a diverse group of both wetland plants and wetland wildlife. I think folks are going to see something different than they see at a lot of our Metroparks right now. All of our Metroparks have something special to offer, and this is going to be the same thing,” said Franklin. “This purchase here was really key because it’s the last big chunk of property left on the south shore of Lake Erie that’s really conducive to wetland restoration,” Franklin continued. “One of the big things we have here is year-round continual deep water access for our pumping systems and for our wetland habitat management projects, and that’s really key. But, after this, there is really nothing left on the south shore of Lake Erie.”
Canal and a pumping station. Franklin says once water is released into the park, about 600 acres will be under water. “As we get the ground saturated, we’ll have some reversion back to wetland species,” Franklin said, adding that the goal is to encourage the growth of native species. An additional reforestation area along the perimeter will include the planting of approximately 12,000 trees. Metroparks Public Relations Director Scott Carpenter says that “ideally,” it is hoped that Howard Marsh will be open for the Biggest Week in American Birding Festival in May 2018. The event draws tens of thousands of birders and millions of tourist dollars from across the world to the region. For wildlife and birding viewing opportunities, a boardwalk will cross wetland

zones, about 1,000 feet of open water, and skip across to newly constructed upland and habitat islands, reverting to a gravel trail every time it reaches dry ground. That’s only the beginning. “We’ll be offering several different things out here other than the wildlife viewing and observation opportunities. We’ll also have public fishing, we’ll also have six miles of canoeing and kayaking ‘blue-ways’ in here, and about the same in mileage in walking trails — about six to seven miles. So, it’s going to offer a variety of things for the visiting public,” Franklin said. When it opens, Howard Marsh will include dike-top trails on-grade and on berms for hiking. Deep water trails will be separated by portages for canoeists to cross, and a concrete public boat launch will be under construction. Through Ward’s Canal, this will be the first Metropark to have direct access to Lake Erie. ‘This is our Everglades’ Even though it will be called Howard Marsh, Carpenter compares the future park to another nationally famous natural resource. “This is our Everglades, here on the south shore of Lake Erie,” Carpenter said. “I think you’d have to go to the rainforest to find a more diverse habitat than a wetland, so it really is that significant.” Franklin responds, “That is a very fair comparison. Almost all species need wa-
ter in some shape or form in their life cycle, whether it be fish, eagles or migratory birds — whatever it could be — all of them require water and this is really going to supply that.” The property, which was previously a working farm, was purchased with two partners in 2008 for $6 million. The Ohio Division of Wildlife contributed $3 million, the Clean Ohio Fund $1.8 million, and the Metroparks’ land acquisition fund $1.2 million. At the time, this was the single largest purchase in Metroparks history both in acreage and cost. To give an idea of how big Howard Marsh will be, Franklin notes that the Metroparks’ Wildwood Preserve, even with its 12.1 miles of walking trails and 493 acres, would fit inside two of the four management units of the Howard Farms property — 235 acres on the west side of Howard Road to be developed later and an adjacent 452 acres being developed for hunting, fishing and boating. “To put this project into perspective, this is the biggest project the Metroparks has ever undertaken,” Carpenter said. “When this opens, it will be the second largest Metropark after Oak Openings, so 1,000 acres total — we’ve been working with Ducks Unlimited, and they are telling us that in their 21-state region, this is the biggest new wetland restoration currently underway, maybe even in the country — we don’t know for sure.”

South Shore park hearings continue Oregon will schedule hearings this year to gather more input from residents on the proposed redevelopment of South Shore Veterans Park. City Administrator Mike Beazley said the hearings are planned for September, October and November. “There’s some engineering analysis going on. We wanted to wait until we were completed with part of that process before we moved forward with the decisions on the park itself. We have a number of ideas of what we could do with the park itself,” he said. Ideas offered at previous meetings include a splash pad, gazebos, enhancement of the Haley Boardwalk, development of a natural beach area, facilitating the launch of kayaks or stand-up paddle boards, a fishing pier or short dock, sand volleyball, and relocating Fire Station No.3 from its current location about a mile from the park to the southeast corner of the park. Nothing so far has been taken off the table other than the installation of a swimming pool, he said. “We don’t think a swimming pool is the direction the city wants to go in. We’re thinking something more practical is a splash pad,” said Beazley. Relocating Bay Shore Mayor Mike Seferian said a top priority is relocating Bay Shore Road further south from the lake so that most of the park property will have uninterrupted access to the lake. “That’s the first decision we’re going to have to make before we proceed with anything else,” he said. Headed east on Bay Shore Road, approaching the Haley Boardwalk, the road would curve in a southerly direction toward the rear of the park, then end on Stadium Road, if it were relocated, explained Seferian. “That would put most of that park right on the water, because you have to cross Bay Shore Road right now to access the lake. So we would eliminate that part of Bay Shore. All that park in front of the Haley Boardwalk would be lakefront property.” Raising the land by about 12 feet would offer a better view of the lake, he added. “We want to be able to feature a picnic area, a place to go, and have good visibility of the lake,” said Seferian. “By building up the land there, raising it about 12 feet so that the whole park is on a hill, you would be able to see the lake with a better perspective.” Some of the dirt could come from a project to make a relief ditch along high tension lines that cross Pickle Road up to Navarre Avenue along Toledo Edison property, said Seferian. “We have some issues with drainage there so we’re going to make a relief ditch

and remove a lot of dirt. We can mound some of the dirt along the banks where we’re building the ditch. But we could move the other dirt to the park. We also have the option of using dredged material from the shipping channel in the lake to build up the park,” he said. “All of that is in the process of happening. That dirt is going to start being moved in 2018, so we have to finalize the deci-

sions of what we’re going to do in the park. A lot of things are happening at the same time. Whatever way we improve the park, we have to be ready to do it in 2018.” The estimated cost to relocate Bay Shore Road and make some of the other improvements is between $500,000 and $700,000, said Seferian. “We believe there is money available from the state and possibly the federal government on some of these improvements that help the lake,” he said. Budget process The hearings are planned later in the year to tie them into the budget making process for next year. Any decisions that are made regarding the South Shore Veterans Park redevelopment would get funded by the budget, said Beazley. “We’ll get input from the community during the hearings during the budget preparation season, and make decisions so we can move forward,” he said. The previous hearings on the park have been well attended by residents interested in providing input and shaping the project “There’s been a lot of interest. Residents from the park area, and the city as a whole, are interested in what kind of opportunity is there, and are looking at ways to make the park more attractive and more desirable for residents,” said Beazley.

Heavy algal bloom forecasted for western Lake Erie NOAA and its research partners predict that western Lake Erie will experience a significant harmful algal bloom this summer, potentially reaching levels last seen in 2013 and 2014, though smaller than the record bloom of 2015. This year’s bloom is expected to measure seven on the severity index, but could range between six and eight. An index above five indicates a potentially harmful bloom. The severity index is based on a bloom’s biomass – the amount of its harmful algae – over a sustained period. The largest blooms, 2011 and 2015, were 10 and 10.5, respectively. Early season projections from NOAA and its partners predicted a larger than normal bloom. This is the final seasonal forecast. The Lake Erie forecast is part of a NOAA ecological forecasting initiative that aims to deliver accurate, relevant, timely and reliable ecological forecasts directly to coastal resource managers and the public. The size of a bloom isn’t necessarily an indication of how toxic it is. The toxins in a large bloom may not be as concentrated as in a smaller bloom. NOAA is currently developing tools to predict how toxic blooms will be. “The Lake Erie harmful algal bloom forecast is another example of NOAA’s ongoing efforts to provide science-based information to water managers and public health officials as they make decisions to protect their communities,” said Russell Callender, Ph.D., assistant NOAA administrator for the National Ocean Service. “We will continue to work with our partners to bring the most accurate data and tools to future forecasts for the region.” Recently, blooms have appeared in
Christopher Winslow, Ph.D., director of the Ohio Sea Grant College Program, shown here during a research demonstration to media, says outreach efforts need to continue. (Press file photo by J. Patrick Eaken) late July in the far western basin of Lake Erie, and increased in early August, and the same pattern is expected this year. Calm winds tend to allow the algal toxins to concentrate, making blooms more harmful. Most of the rest of the lake will not be
affected. “A bloom of this size is evidence that the research and outreach efforts currently underway to reduce nutrient loading, optimize water treatment, and understand bloom dynamics need to continue,” said
Christopher Winslow, Ph.D., director of the Ohio Sea Grant College Program. “Despite the predicted size of this year’s bloom, much of the lake will be algae free throughout the bloom season and the lake remains a key asset for the state.” In addition to the seasonal forecast, NOAA also issues bi-weekly forecasts during the bloom season. This year, NOAA will begin incorporating additional satellite data into its Lake Erie Harmful Algal Bloom Forecast System that will enhance accuracy and detail. The data come from Sentinel-3, a new satellite that measures coastal water color as part of the European Union’s Copernicus program. NOAA’s Lake Erie HAB forecast bulletins are available online and by subscription. “Sentinel-3 will provide additional detail and sensitivity, and it will assure our ability to assess the state of Lake Erie well into the next decade,” said Richard Stumpf, Ph.D., NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science’s lead for the seasonal Lake Erie bloom forecast. “A second Sentinel-3 will be launched later this year; the pair will assure that we can consistently see features that are one tenth the size of blooms we can see now.” Field observations used for monitoring and modeling are done in partnership with Heidelberg University, NOAA’s Ohio River Forecast Center, NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, the University of Michigan, LimnoTech, Stanford University, NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, NOAA’s Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research, Ohio State University’s Sea Grant Program and Stone Laboratory, University of Toledo, and Ohio EPA.
Ohio Sea Grant
Harmful algal bloom research heads into second year Ohio Sea Grant, on behalf of The Ohio State University, The University of Toledo and the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) has released the second-year research progress update for the statewide Harmful Algal Bloom Research Initiative (HABRI), which seeks solutions for harmful algal blooms in Ohio. The initiative consists of more than 30 science teams working on different critical knowledge gaps identified by front-line state agencies that include the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, Ohio Department of Agriculture, Ohio Department of Health, and Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Although research is still underway, the second-year report reveals that the state of Ohio has already benefited from the initiative: Early warning systems in Maumee and
Sandusky bays have given water treatment plants a higher-resolution picture of what’s coming in from Lake Erie. HABRI research has provided new answers and practical guidance about producing safe drinking water for cities and towns dealing with algal toxins in their water sources. HABRI teams have provided the building blocks for agencies to understand the risks that algal toxins present for human health. HABRI has driven information sharing and priority setting between universities and agencies, positioning Ohio to better prevent and manage future crises. “HABRI has put Ohio at the leading edge of coordinated HABs management compared to other state and even national counterparts,” said Beth Messer, acting chief of the Division of Drinking and
Ground Waters for the OEPA. “Being able to comment on the research projects from the proposal stage onward, we can make sure that the results will be applied and scalable-and often, we see water treatment plants are able to put preliminary data to use right away.” HABRI is funded by the Ohio Department of Higher Education, with $4 million made available for two rounds of research funding (before matching funds by participating universities) since 2015. Ohio Sea Grant, which manages the research, is currently soliciting proposals for a third round of funding, which includes a $500,000 match from OEPA in addition to $2 million of ODHE funds. “This is a complex issue, so we knew that we needed to attack it in an integrated way,” said ODHE Chancellor John Carey. “We put our university assets to work an-

For residents
Website offers info The downtown Toledo Improvement District (DTID) has launched an updated website, www. DowntownToledo.org, that features a full events calendar for Downtown Toledo, an interactive map that allows users to connect with dining, residential, shopping and entertainment options, exclusive downtown news and detailed descriptions of each downtown neighborhood. “This website is the one-stopshop for all activity in Downtown. It connects users to the information they want to know. Our main focus was to make it user-friendly while containing comprehensive information,” said Cindy Kerr, Executive Director of DTID. “We want anyone visiting, working and living in Downtown Toledo to have a trusted resource as their guide whenever they have a question, or are looking for great restaurants, entertainment, shopping or living spaces,” said Kerr. The new website showcases an interactive map where users can “explore Downtown.” It contains categories such as dining, music, shopping, parks and green spaces, living spaces, hotels, arts and culture, sports, bars and clubs, places of interest and event venues. When users select a filter for the map, it will populate with the desired category, show exactly where each destination is located and give a brief description. This ensures that navigating Downtown is quick and easy. Downtown Toledo’s new site also celebrates a new and improved events calendar that will always be populated with the most up-to-date information regarding anything that may be happening in Downtown Toledo. Users can filter by date, and search events months in advance. “The new events calendar is excellent for planning a night out, a day trip with the family, or where to grab a bite to eat. It has all of the information that anyone could need. There are some weekends where there are 40 different events,” said Kerr.
Northwood plans new music event this month By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The City of Northwood and the city’s VFW are planning on a public music event on July 22 at the outside pavilion of VFW post 2984 at 102 W. Andrus Road. It’s part of the city’s effort to provide more outside non-sports related excursions for residents. “This is something new,” said Northwood Councilman Dan Mikolajczyk, who is helping organize the event and who coordinated the Music in the Park series last year and this year. “We’re pairing up with the VFW in Northwood. It will be a fundraiser for them. They will take care of the liquor permit and serve beer. The City of Northwood is sponsoring the band, Zodiac Click. They’re a fairly local band. One of the lead singers works in the Lake Township area.” Refreshments will include food and beverages. Zodiac Click, which plays popular
music, performed recently at the Toledo Lighthouse Festival at Maumee Bay State Park earlier this month. Other venues include Jerusalem Township and Downtown Toledo, he said. “They’re a good band. They play a lot of dance music, so I think they will appeal to everyone,” he said. Early start The event will start early in the evening. “In talking with the mayor and city administrator, we decided to start it a little bit early at 6 p.m. and end at 10 p.m. So basically, it will still be light when you get there, and should be starting to get dark at 10 p.m. So it’s still a family oriented event.” Also featured will be a 50/50 raffle. The event is separate from the VFW’s own two day fundraising event held in September, he added. “The VFW is allowing the city to provide something new to do for the residents. We’re hopping on the bandwagon that not everyone plays sports. We’re working on
going a lot larger than this, but we have to start someplace. So come out and listen to a nice band and dance group. They play pop music mostly, but also a lot of country music. If you want to sit there and tap your foot, or go out there and dance a little bit, you will enjoy it. They will play something that you know. They also take requests,” he said. The city hopes to add similar community events through its recreation department, said Mikolajczyk. “With the music event, and our Movie in the Park that we started last year, this is the first year our city residents have been given something to do every month. We had a movie in June, then we’ll have the music event in July, and another movie is planned in August. The VFW will have its two day fundraiser in September, then we’ll top it off in October with our second annual fall festival. The residents here have something to look forward to that brings them together as a community – something different that they will enjoy. “

in kilograms divided by the square of his or her height in meters. A high BMI can be an indicator of high body fat levels. The overweight range is a BMI of between 25 and 30. The obesity range is 30 and above. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the BMI can be used as a screening tool for individuals but is not a diagnostic of body fatness or a person’s health. Slightly more than half of those surveyed, 52 percent, ate between one or two servings of fruits and vegetables per day and 34 percent ate three or four servings. Only 10 percent were eating five or more daily servings and 4 percent responded they didn’t have any servings. The American Cancer Society recommends adults eat at least 2 ½ cups per day.
Eighteen percent of the respondents indicated they thought fruits and vegetables were too expensive and another 8 percent said they didn’t like the taste. Seven percent said they didn’t know how to prepare them and 2 percent said they had no access to produce. About 10 percent reported they had to choose between paying bills and buying food in the past 12 months and 4 percent had concerns they would run out of food. Wood County scored 7.5 in the Food Environmental Index, which rates a county on a scale of 0-10 on access to healthy foods and food insecurity.

Grocery store Continued from front page access road that parallels Navarre that will create some opportunities for us.” First in the region Lidl representatives have spoken with city officials about their plans. “We’ve talked to representatives from the store. They characterize their store as something that would kind of focus on the experience for the shopper. They describe it as something that competes in the range of Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and Kroger – somewhere in that niche, where they do a lot of private labels like Trader Joe’s, but they also have a fresh bakery and that sort of thing as part of the experience. It’s their message, how they describe their store. There’s been a lot of attention brought to some of the national business publications about what they’re looking to get done. They plan on opening about 600 stores in the U.S., and the store on Navarre would be the first in this region,” said Beazley. Why Oregon? “They thought it would work well here, they looked at Oregon and thought there was a market they could connect with in this location,” said Beazley. Seferian agrees. “Even though we have a lot of food shopping places here, I think they believe that their niche is not here yet,” he said. Some of Seferian’s customers at his auto repair shop “are very interested in Lidl.” “There’s also some convenience in getting in and out of a smaller store. A little store is very easy to get around for some customers versus a bigger store.” Lidl opened its first store near Frankfurt, Germany, in 1973, according to its website. In the 1990s, it expanded outside Germany and into Europe. Today, there are over 10,000 stores in 27 countries.

3 weeks in Montana, now North Dakota Al Thompson left Northwest Ohio on June 4 to resume his bicycle ride around the perimeter of the United States in an effort to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity and Save the Children. Here is an excerpt from his blog, which you can follow by going to presspublications.com and clicking on the icon on the upper right corner. It happened on August 11, 1806, not too far from where I am writing this, in Kill Deer, ND . . . Meriwether Lewis was shot in the butt. You may remember that I mentioned in a previous update that the Corps of Discovery had divided into separate parties on their return to the United States in 1806: Lewis and nine men were returning by way of the Missouri and exploring the Marias River in the process, while William Clark, with the rest of the Corps, was down on the Yellowstone exploring that major tributary of the Missouri. The idea was for the Corps to reunite somewhere around the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers. On the day before this joyous reunion occurred, it happened. Meriwether and Frenchman Pierre Cruzatte went ashore to hunt after espying a herd of elk. Pierre . . . or St. Peter as the men liked to call him . . . was one of the best river men in the Corps of Discovery, but probably not the best shot. Problem was, he just couldn’t see that well . . . blind in one eye and nearsighted in the other. They shot one elk and then separated to shoot another. Just as Lewis was about to discharge his rifle, a bullet tore through his left thigh just below the hip joint. Lewis cried out, “Damn you - you have shot me!” But hearing no response from Pierre after repeated calls, he feared it was an Indian attack. Limping back to the canoes in severe pain, he sent out the men to give battle and save Cruzatte. But not long after, the men returned having seen no Indians, but with them was none other than St. Peter, who swore up and down that he had shot at an elk, and not wanting to admit what everyone knew: with his poor eyesight, he had mistaken Lewis for the elk! The next day the two parties of the Corps of Discovery were joyously reunited after a separation of over four weeks. But Captain Clark was extremely alarmed when he saw what had happened to Captain Lewis. William Clark would dress his co-captain’s wounds daily, and for the next couple of weeks, Meriwether Lewis would spend most of his time lying on his stomach in the bottom of a canoe as the Expedition raced down the Missouri River toward their celebrated homecoming in St. Louis. I bade goodbye to Montana after almost three weeks of cycling in Big Sky Country, and crossed the state line into North Dakota. And now I’m roughly following the course of the Missouri River once again as

I did 12 years ago, except heading in the opposite direction. The Missouri River . . . The Big Muddy . . . that roiling, powerful, 2,341-mile-long major tributary of the Mississippi that drains the whole of what used to be the Louisiana Purchase from the Rocky Mountains eastward. It was the road of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and now my road of sorts, at least for a time. I dropped down into the Missouri’s valley to visit Fort Union--a fascinating National Historical Monument that I had visited on my Lewis and Clark Ride in 2005. Fort Union was the most important fur trading post on the Upper Missouri established in the 1820’s at the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers by John Jacob Astor’s American Fur Company. (And yes, it was Astor who gave his name to Astoria, Oregon.) Thousands of plains Indians from five major tribes would congregate around the fort each year, set up their tepee’s, and spend weeks there trading their furs for European manufactured items. It was a place of peaceful trading, gaming, and a mingling of cultures--Native
American, American, French, and English. The fort there today is a reconstruction, but some of the original foundations are still visible - a neat place to visit! But I paid the price for that visit . . . for if you drop down into the valley, then you must climb up out of the valley, and it is a major climb. The Missouri has cut its meandering channel over the centuries, changing its course and cutting new channels numerous times . . . and the valley is expansive, sometimes miles across. Doing these climbs in 90 degree plus temperatures is just draining, and I try to remind myself: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Some of you may wonder what I’m thinking about while riding all these miles. Thank goodness for my iPhone - although I curse it regularly. Often I’ll be listening to NPR while I’m riding, specifically WNYC out of New York. And then there is my Audible app. I just finished my Audible book “The Nazis Next Door”, a fascinating account of how thousands of Nazis and war criminals were allowed into the United States after WW II through the cooperation of the CIA and FBI, because they were supposedly anti-communist and willing to save their skins by working for our government against the Red Menace. And now currently listening to Dead Wake -The Last Crossing Of The Lusitania. Also excellent, although I’m just at the start. So there you have it. Miles and miles in the saddle, and every now and then, ear buds in my ear - a way to pass the time as this country passes beneath my wheels. Proceeding On, Al Thompson usperimeterride.org

How far would you go to help a friend? If you are Kaitlyn Gabel, of Curtice, you would travel 600 miles by bicycle in 2.5 weeks to help your neighbor and friend. Kaitlyn is rolling out July 12 with six other teens on the JettRide 2017. The JettRide is an annual bike tour for teens and young adults to raise funds and awareness about Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The JettRide is organized by the Jett Foundation, a Massachusetts-based organization named after founder Christine McSherry’s son Jett, who has Duchenne. The disease occurs randomly in 1 out of 3,500 births, and is considered the worst form of MD. It affects boys more often and often results in early death. This year’s JettRide started July 12 in Curtice and will end July 28 in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Riders will travel through Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Maryland along the way. While riding, they will visit Cedar Point, go white water rafting, and go on other adventures. According to Michelle Gabel, Kaitlyn’s mom, Kaitlyn’s older sister, Julianna, did the ride twice, in 2014 and 2015. “Julianna rode 1,500 miles in 2014 and 3,400 miles, coast to coast, in 2015,” Michelle said. “Their father, Scott, and I are so proud of our daughters for caring enough to do this for their friend.” According to Michelle, Julianna became involved when learning about the event from Tammy Henegar, their neighbor. Tammy and her husband Scott’s son, Braedan, lives with Duchenne. “She was 14 when she first did the ride and we just could not believe how selfless she was for doing this,” Michelle said. “Now, my youngest, Kaitlyn, is 15 and is following in her sister’s footsteps. She is committed to raising awareness about the disease and helping her friend.” Braedan has spent the last few years hunting and experiencing life in the wild whenever he can. He was diagnosed at the age of four and has since gone on various hunts, including a wild boar hunt with the Motor City Madman, Ted Nugent. The Henegars have hosted riders five times in the last several years. This year, their home served as the starting point for the trip. The riders will also stay with families with other young boys with Duchenne. “It is fun and we enjoy it every year,” Henegar said. My husband road with them on their practice run this morning. The kids have been busy all day with Braedan. They are like having older brothers and sisters for him. He loves running around with them. Usually, at the end, it is very hard and it is emotional. He does not want to say, ‘Goodbye.’” Henegar said she is also deeply moved by her neighbor’s kindness and commitment to helping her son and others with Duchenne. “We love that our neighbors are doing this and want to help,” she said. “Not

They remind us that many people do care.”

Julianna said she is very proud of her sister for taking up the torch and riding this year. “My goodness, this is a proud moment for me,” Julianna said. “To see her doing
what I came to love is awesome.” Julianna said she did give Kaitlyn some advice for her trip. “I told her there will be days when she will not want to get up and bike 50 miles,” Julianna said. “I told her that when she gets to the homes of families affected by Duchenne, she will remember what she is riding for. She and I are able to do this ride. The boys with Duchenne cannot. That is why we ride. I am excited for her to do this.” Kaitlyn, who is homeschooled, said she is nervous about the ride. Mainly, she is nervous about getting lost. The group rode 22 miles during their practice run July 12. The riders dipped their back tires in Lake Erie and will dip their front tires in the Atlantic Ocean when they get to New Jersey. “Everyone going seems very nice,” Kaitlyn said. “I did not train a whole lot, to be honest. Julianna said to just drink water and to make sure I hang out with the boys we meet and make friends. She also said to always wear my helmet. I can’t wait to meet the families and the boys. I know that the money I raise is going for a good cause.” Kaitlyn has raised $1,600 of her $2,500 goal so far. To donate, please go to www. firstgiving.com/fundraiser/kaitlyn-gabel/ jettride-2017.

Dragon Boat Summer Learning Festival set for July 22 Practice week begins July 17 for Partners in Education’s 16th Annual Dragon Boat Summer Learning Festival, set for Saturday, July 22 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at International Park in downtown Toledo. The event is a celebration of collaboration, cultural appreciation and summer learning and supports the work of Partners in Education. The 40-foot long Hong Kong-style dragon boats, complete with head and tail, will race 500 meters up and down the Maumee River. Teams from across Northwest Ohio practice Monday-Thursday between 3:45 and 8 p.m. to get ready for the race. More than 800 volunteers will serve as paddlers, steersman and drummers for the boats. Organizers expect 3,000- 5,000 spectators, paddlers and volunteers to attend on Saturday. Teams participate in three races during the day, with first round times determining the second and championship round placement. Trophies are awarded in various categories such as most team spirit and best race times. This year, Partners in Education will award the Niehous/Rasmus Cup to the winning team, in honor of the event’s founders. The Summer Learning Village will be back with engaging hands-on activities hosted by Partners in Education and area nonprofits. The Village will feature entertainment by Bowling Green State University AIMS students with science and cultural demonstrations by the Chinese Association of Greater Toledo. AT&T is sponsoring the STEM activities along with help from ProMedica who partners with Partners in Education as a Summer Meal Partner. Partners In Education of Toledo was founded in 1994 by the Rotary Club of Toledo to, “enhance student success through community engagement.” The nonprofit provides programming through collaborations that support student success in Toledo area K-12 schools.

Family Briefs it any of the 25 participating Wendy’s in Toledo, Oregon, Rossford, Bowling Green and Perrysburg, among others, to purchase a “sandcastle brick,” sign their name on it and have it displayed in the restaurant to show their support of adoption. Since 2011, Wendy’s has raised more than $60,000 for Adopt America Network through the Sandcastle Brick Sale. The nonprofit Adopt America is a nonprofit organization committed to improving the lives of adoptable children throughout the United States who are in the foster care system by placing them with permanent, loving families. “Our Wendy’s restaurants have always been proud to support Adopt America Network, since adoption was Dave Thomas’ favorite charitable cause,” said Toledo Wendy’s Co-op President, Becky Williams “Every year we raise money to help defray the cost to a family wanting to adopt a child. By selling the bricks we are able to involve the community.” Wendy’s founder, Dave Thomas, who was adopted as a child, was an advocate for children in foster care. He founded the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, a nonprofit public charity dedicated to increasing adoptions of children in North America’s foster care system. The Foundation works in collaboration locally with the Adopt America Network to increase the number of adoptions in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan.

Local Belgians to be on display at Ottawa Co. Fair By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com For 25 years, Dr. Michael Stone has owned Oak Haven Belgians. Doing that, in addition to running the Oak Harbor Veterinary Hospital, has allowed him the ability to work directly with Belgian horses. The horses will be on display this week at the Ottawa County Fair. The horses will perform individually and as part of a team in a judging contest. “The judge is looking for a balanced horse; one that is structurally sound – the best of the breeding. The classes – conformation, halter, performance – judge the quality of horses. (The judges) make sure everything is tidy, check the overall appearance (of the horses) and how well these horses work together as a team,” Stone said. “It’s a long day of judging.” Stone, who typically houses 24-25 horses, bought his first horse in 1990, just two years after graduating with his doctorate from the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. He visited Kelleys Island to examine a horse, whose owner was moving to Florida, and bought the animal, starting a domino effect that saw more and more horses come under his care in the next three decades. His initial farm was in Oak Harbor, but he has had his current operation in Fremont for the past 22 years. “In our selection process, we look for tremendous athletic ability; it’s quite a different horse – it’s not a simple parade horse,” he said. “You’re not going to force (the horses) to do anything,” Dr. Stone said. “It takes some finesse and you have to keep them happy. In the years we’ve been showing, we’ve been pretty successful at some major shows.” Stone is a first-generation horse breeder, something that is rare in the industry. But that hasn’t stopped the team from winning multiple awards at various shows in recent years. And recently, the industry has seen an increase in popularity. “I think it’s about getting back to basics from a fast-paced life, I think people want to go to a slower (style) and embrace those past days,” he said. “(The industry) is having a resurgence.” Getting involved in the industry has allowed Stone the opportunity to meet some interesting people, something that extends to his work as a veterinarian. “I’ve been doing this for almost 30 years and I love the animals, and I love conversing with people and visiting and seeing what I can do to help them with the medical needs of their pets. I enjoy the exam room discussions. I think I deal with the cream of the crop,” he said. “I tell my kids, if you do something with passion, it’s amazing how much can enjoy yourself. In any job or any business – if you have passion and heart, I think the rewards come right back to you. “I encourage people to come to the Ottawa County Fair, come to the barns and ask us questions and see the horses – they’re very addicting animals,” he said.

This mare also is a member of the 2016 NABC Dream Team as the right lead mare. The Dream Team is an award that the officials pick at the North American Belgian Championship, last held in Springfield, Mass, that if you had the opportunity to grab any mare that competed and put them into a position, which mares would you pick and she was picked for a very elite position in that award as the right lead position.

Great Serpent Mound is one of Ohio’s amazing mysteries
Great Serpent Mound, located deep in southern Ohio, attracts visitors from near and far. (Photo by Art Weber)
Natural Wanders by Art Weber
“
...Indians here would have known this was a special spot....
“
Deep in southern Ohio, way down toward the Ohio River on a plateau above Ohio Brush Creek is the Great Serpent Mound, arguably Ohio’s most amazing mystery. Serpent Mound is the largest and finest animal effigy in the United States, and perhaps the most famous in the world, attracting visitors from near and far to its remote location. One of many amazing ancient treasures in Ohio, it may soon be recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. “But I’d argue that Serpent Mound is underappreciated aesthetically,” said John Hancock, professor of architecture at the University of Cincinnati and co-director of the Ancient Ohio Trail. That it’s a serpent is pretty easy to figure out. If all the coils were straightened out, the serpent would measure more than a quarter-mile in length, with the mound averaging a height of three feet. The tail features three perfect coils. The triangular head appears to be swallowing an oval shape, thought by many to be an egg. Archaeologists know from carbon dating charcoal found within the mound that it’s about 1,000 years old. That means even though it’s a mound, it’s not a geometric design and not of the same time period as the 2,000-year-old Hopewell Mounds in Newark and Chillicothe. Viewing the serpent from the observation tower is a must if the precision of the mound is to be appreciated. “The serpent is connected to some archeo-astronomy hypotheses,” John said. “The head of the serpent points to the setting sun at the summer solstice, while the main coils point to other features.” But John is unconvinced that marking lunar and solar events is the purpose of the serpent. “Soft curvy forms aren’t the shapes you’d use if you’re aligning with astronomical events,” he said. “Many of them are several degrees off the alignment. “But this does have a sacred context,” he said. It also seems to be aligned and facing into a large four-mile diameter crater, possibly an ancient meteor strike or some form of underground explosion. “It’s quite likely Indians here would have known this was a special spot,” John said. “There’s a trail that drops to Ohio Brush Creek off the right side of the serpent’s body and follows the creek below the Serpent’s head. “Look up at the ridge right below the mound’s head and you’ll see a natural rock formation that resembles a serpent’s head. It’s entirely plausible that this site was called the serpent before the mound was put on top of it,” he said. Still a mystery is what that oval is the serpent seems to be swallowing. “The oval could be the head of the serpent, it could be the sun, it could be an egg, an animal,” John said. “There are multiple interpretations of what it could be.” It could also be inspired by an astronomical event that would have happened just about the time of the mound’s construction. In 1066 AD, it’s recorded that Haley’s Comet made one of its brightest and most dramatic appearances – some accounts describe it as appearing four times brighter
than Venus and reflecting as much light as the moon. It had to be an eye-catching experience, perhaps one that struck fear into those ancient people. It would have been a ball of light and tail seeming to streak across the sky for weeks. Maybe, just maybe, that’s what the serpent has in its mouth. Serpent Mound State Historic Site is operated for the Ohio Historical Society by the Arc of Appalachia Preserve System. It’s located at 3850 SR 73, Peebles, Ohio. For more information call 1-800-7522757 or visit www.OhioHistory.org. The best place to reflect on the meaning of the Serpent is Murphin Ridge Inn in West Union. Certainly one of the best inns in the Midwest, it sits well off the beaten path on 140 beautiful acres. The setting, the food, the accommodations, and the amenities are all superb. For information on Murphin Ridge Inn, visit the website www.MurphinRidgeInn. com or call 877-687-7446.

AccepĆ&#x;ng the honor of being in a friend or family member’s wedding means more than dressing in the fancy clothing and showing up on the designated date. The wedding party, parĆ&#x;cularly the bridesmaids and groomsmen, should understand that standing alongside the happy couple generally means doing some work during the planning period as well as on the big day. It’s the wise wedding couple who can recognize the strengths of their family and friends and put those aĆŠributes to work in producĆ&#x;ve ways. According to The Knot.com, the average wedding party includes four people on each side. That means eight extra people who can lend their eyes, ears and hands to the bounty of tasks that comprise the wedding planning to-do list. Here’s how to delegate with Ňair. Ask and ye shall receive. First oÄŤ, it is never safe to assume that the wedding party will be taking on extra work. Even if tradiĆ&#x;on suggests wedding party members lend a hand, it’s in the best interest of the couple to graciously ask for help. This helps establish good will at the start. Be speciÄŽc when assigning tasks. Rather than just asking for generalized help, make a list of the tasks that seem the most challenging and then delegate accordingly. If a member of the bridal party is excellent at geĆŤng travel deals, have him or her help arrange the honeymoon. Someone with an inĆ&#x;mate knowledge of cuisine can come along to food tasĆ&#x;ngs and help plan the recepĆ&#x;on menu. Friends with a Ňair for organizaĆ&#x;on can be in charge of disseminaĆ&#x;ng informaĆ&#x;on to the enĆ&#x;re wedding party or keeping a running list of giĹŒs given at various parĆ&#x;es so thank-you notes can be sent. Make wardrobe suggesĆ&#x;ons. Couples can rely on their most honest bridal party members when picking out wedding aĆŤre. These no-holds-barred individuals can set them straight on ÄŽt, look and comfort. Trust these people in helping to make the enĆ&#x;re wedding party look stylish and feel conÄŽdent. Extend the host/hostess duĆ&#x;es. It can be Ć&#x;ring for couples to tend to the needs of all their wedding guests. Couples can enlist the help of their wedding party to ensure that elderly or disabled guests get the assistance they need. The wedding party can also step up to serve as stand-in dance partners or to help grab drinks or escort people as needed. Get the party started. Couples can usually count on their wedding parĆ&#x;es to help ÄŽll the dance Ňoor at the wedding recepĆ&#x;on, even when others have not yet built up the courage to showcase their dancing skills. Those bold and loveable friends and family members will help keep the energy up and make the wedding a blast. Planning and hosĆ&#x;ng a wedding is a large undertaking. With the help of the wedding party, it can be that much more enjoyable.

Seamstress makes her own First Communion Dress By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com First Communion. For those brought up in the Roman Catholic Church, this rite of passage celebrates the first time a young Catholic receives the Eucharist, and usually happens around the age of 7. Special dresses and clothing are worn and the family may also throw a party. For Olivia Kesling, of Oregon, the day was made even more special because she helped to make her First Communion dress out of her mother’s wedding dress. “I have always had this vision to use my dress for her First Communion dress,” Leigh Ann Kesling, Olivia’s mom, said. “People do not pass on their wedding dress in their families like they used to. Cheri “Tass” Summers was working on a dress for me and I decided to ask her if she could make the dress for Olivia. Cheri said she would, but only if Olivia helped.” Olivia and Summers worked on the dress every Thursday beginning in January, Leigh Ann said. A language arts teacher at Fassett Junior High, Leigh Ann said she just loved hearing Olivia and Summers working together to make the dress. “They would start each meeting with a prayer,” Leigh Ann said. “They would pray for guidance on making the dress. Then, I could hear them talk during the sewing lesson about everything. They were so cute and would talk about school and things in life.” In the end, Olivia and Cheri also made a vest and bow tie from the wedding dress for Olivia’s twin brother, Cooper. The siblings were able to wear their new duds at their First Communion May 7, at St. Ignatius Church in Oregon. Now that Olivia is done with her dress, she will continue to work on making blankets for the homeless through her very own organization, Warm Hearts, Leigh Ann said. For the last couple of years, she has been creating blankets that are then given to the Cherry Street Mission. “Her dad, Larry, and I are so proud of her,” Leigh Ann said. “She learned a lot

about sewing and she will now take that knowledge and continue her non-profit. She is only 8 and I am amazed at what she has accomplished.” Olivia said she is happy to have made the dress and the clothes for her brother as well. “I learned to sew in first grade, but this was the first time I had classes,” Olivia said. “I learned a lot, like ‘needles are not meant for fingers.’ I am just happy I was able to do it. I am joyfully proud.” Cheri “Tass” Summers, of Rossford, who worked with Olivia, has been sewing for many years. At one point, she was sewing for friends and others who needed dresses, alterations, etc., for free. All she asked was the recipient would do a random act of kindness for someone else. Another of Cheri’s passions is working with senior animals. She and her family have been adopting older dogs and allowing them to live out their remaining days and years. She started the non-profit, “Old Muzzle Manor” to care for the animals. She now uses proceeds from sewing and sewing classes to off-set the care and medical costs of helping senior animals. “We currently have dogs, turtles rabbits and a couple of older horses,” Cheri said. “We try to give the animals the best possible life while we have them for however long we have them. Olivia tried to pay me with money she had been saving. She is so sweet. I gave her the money back to she could use it for her blankets.” Cheri said she had the best time working with Olivia and that she believed Olivia especially enjoyed watching the machine work to make buttonholes. “Olivia and I would work on the patterns together,” Cheri said. “I would give her homework too like tearing the band off of the bottom of the dress. Olivia really was hands-on, and she knew how she wanted the dress to look. I just loved working with her. She is a special little girl. This was really just a fun project. She is like an old soul who wants to do good.” Cheri does alterations and many sewing jobs. Visit www.oldemuzzlemanor.com.

Clay grad, author inducted into boxing hall of fame By Mark Griffin and J. Patrick Eaken sports@presspublications.com Palooka: An incompetent or easily defeated athlete, especially a prize fighter. In one sentence, Dave Jaco admits he was a boxing palooka. In the next, he wasn’t. Jaco, a 1973 Clay graduate who ended his pro boxing career with 55 fights, literally fought a who’s-who of heavyweight boxers before he retired 23 years ago. Now, he’s being inducted into the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame “I had a few doors open for me and people would call me on a day’s notice (to fight),” said Jaco, now 62, told The Press in 2011. “They called me on a Monday night and had me fight Tommy Morrison on a Tuesday night on ESPN. I was a palooka — one of those guys who basically goes in there looking for a big payday. I made thousands when I fought, but I didn’t consider myself a palooka. I was a decent fighter.” Jaco was profiled on ABC’s Prime Time Live as a “palooka”, or someone who never refused a fight for money. Among the fighters he fought were Morrison, Leon Spinks, Pierre Coetzer, Tony Tucker, Mike Tyson, Buster Douglas, Mike Weaver, Oliver McCall, Jose Ribalta, George Foreman, Alex Stewart, Bert Cooper and Alexander Zolkin. In 2012, he published a memoir of his boxing experiences titled “Spontaneous Palooka and Mr. Mom: the Story of a Man’s Love for His Children and Prize Fighting.” Jaco’s book was published by AA Printing out of Tampa, Fla. “They did a beautiful job,” Jaco said. “With the introduction, the dedication and the table of contents, it’s around 155 pages or so.” The book recounts Jaco’s life growing up in Oregon, having kids, getting divorced, losing his job and moving to Florida to raise his identical twin boys, Adam and Aaron, who are now close to 40-yearsold. Adam, a super middleweight (168 pounds), and Aaron, a light heavyweight (178), still were occasionally boxing when their father talked to The Press. The brothers had won a combined 11 Florida state AAU championships, according to Jaco, who has four daughters from his second marriage. Jaco said it took him about two years to write the book. “I’ve been to Europe five times and Africa three times,” he said. “I once fought in Nova Scotia, Canada, and I’ve been to Brazil. “My last fight, I went to China in 1994 and fought David Bey. I’ve seen the world, but the only thing I never achieved was to
David Jaco. (Photo courtesy Florida Boxing Hall of Fame) make that big payday to take care of my family, to put it away for my family. It never happened. “I thought, you know what, I’m going to write a book because I have a great boxing story. It’s a triumph story. I never made a million bucks, but I’m living the good life. I have a nice home down here in Florida and my sons are running their own gyms. I started writing down things and it all started coming together for me. I wrote a beautiful book. I’ve had a couple people from movie studios telling me they loved the book. I have different people wanting to make a movie out of my book.
Started at Toughman contest Jaco: was born January 24, 1955 in Oregon and grew up in Toledo where he worked at Interlaken Steel after graduating from high school. He was laid off in 1979. To earn money for his wife and two young sons David entered a “Toughman” competition. He won the Ohio Toughman Contest and fought in two world Toughman contests, defeating the favorite in 1980. Jaco caught the attention of Art Dore, the Toughman founder, who offered to manage Jaco as a professional and he turned pro in 1981, winning his first 12 fights. His first loss was to the world-rated Carl “The

Truth” Williams in June 1983. Jaco’s first high-profile victory came against future title contender Donovan Razor Ruddock, whom he beat on April 30, 1985. Ruddock was unable to answer the bell for round 8. Jaco said he was the first man to beat Ruddock, and that opened the doors for him to line up bouts with some of the best fighters in the world. “I fought George Foreman on a six-day notice,” said the 6-foot-6 Jaco. “I was doing real well. He came at me real hard with a body shot and then he caught me on the spine. I went numb from the waist down. I went to a knee and asked the ref if he was going to call an illegal body shot. Then, I lost my head and I threw some combinations and I hit Foreman with three or four good shots. He got mad and came at me like a windmill. I felt like a ping pong ball. It’s all in my book.” After Jaco moved to Sarasota, Florida to raise his twins, he became self-managed and started to take fights on short notice. He went on to fight nine former world champions. Jaco said he fought Tyson in 1986, when the future heavyweight champ was 19 and Jaco was 31. Jaco lost via the three-knockdown rule in the first round. “I made $5,000 fighting Tyson and then I went home to Toledo, fixed my car, got it cleaned up and jumped in that sucker and went down to Florida,” Jaco said. “I was divorced and my ex-wife had moved to Florida, and I came down to see if my boys were going to be raised right. “By 1988 I got full custody of my sons. That chapter’s called ‘Time to Keep a Promise.’ I was always a good father to my kids. I had good parents and I wanted to make sure my boys were raised right. I raised my kids in Siesta Key and I was probably the poorest guy living on Siesta Key. We stayed there for eight years and I met my new wife (Wynna) there. We’ll be married 19 years in September.” As a professional fighter, Jaco had 24 wins (19 by knockout), 25 losses (18 by knockout), and one draw. Many of Jaco’s fights can be seen on YouTube, including bouts with Tyson, Morrison, and the win over Razor Ruddock. (— from a bio provided by the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame and a Press file story)

Following in Dad’s footsteps has positives and negatives By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Playing for his father had its ups and downs, but new Eastwood head football coach Craig Rutherford said the positives far outweighed the negatives. Craig and his brother, Eric, who is two years younger, both starred for the Eagles under their coach/father, Jerry, who retired after a successful 2016 season. Eastwood finished 9-2, won a Northern Buckeye Conference championship and made the state playoffs for the 10th time in Rutherford’s 36 seasons at the helm. “I really enjoyed the time we had to be out on the field at practice,” Craig, 29, recalled. “He pushed me and my brother pretty hard. I remember thinking a lot of my friends didn’t get to spend a lot of time with their dads, and we get to be out there with him two to three hours a day. I enjoyed it. He trusted us and that allowed us to get closer.” Craig, who teaches at Anthony Wayne, said he wants his players to have the same positive experience he had when he suited up for the Eagles. “I hope when they look back, they had a lot of fun,” he said. “I hope they become tougher and they learn how to work with other people.” Craig, who played tight end, graduated from Eastwood in 2006 and was a long snapper at Bowling Green State University for four years. He and Eric both returned to Eastwood after college to become assistant coaches for their father, who retired with a 226-140 record. The 2016 season was Craig’s seventh as an Eagles assistant. He coached running backs, linebackers and tight ends; Eric, who has coached at the school for six years, coached quarterbacks and receivers and is a member of Craig’s staff. “We disagree about things like any brothers would,” Craig said. “He’s really important to us. Even though I’m the head coach, we’re more equal than head coaches and assistants are, as far as decision making. We look at things from different perspectives, which is good for us and good

We’re usually on the same page, but we approach things from different perspectives.” Players who plan to compete for the Eagles this fall have been lifting together three days a week and are learning the offense and defense. Rutherford said he likes what he’s seen from the athletes so far. “I really like our team,” he said. “We have a lot of seniors who have played a lot of football. They definitely come to work every day. We still want to be a tough foot-
ball team, and our offense and defense will look similar to what we did last year.” Rutherford admitted that he’s always wanted to be a head football coach, but he wasn’t sure he wanted to be one at his alma mater. His father, after all, has set the bar pretty high. “I thought maybe I would want to go out and start my own program,” Craig said, “but I had to make the decision. Eastwood is just such a great place, with great people, and I couldn’t bring myself to leave.”
The Eagles open the season against Ottawa-Glandorf in late August, and Craig Rutherford already sounds like a head coach. Like father, like son. “Obviously we want to win league championships and keep making the playoffs,” Craig said. “Right now our focus is on getting better every day. We treat it one day at a time and we’re excited. I don’t know if I’m any more excited than in the past, because I’ve always been excited about football season. Now, I’m just in a different role.”

Waite teacher, coach Gardner Howard remembered By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com “A caring, big-hearted person.” “His willingness to give back.” “A gentle giant — a role model.” These are a few of compliments bestowed upon former Waite football coach and faculty member Gardner Howard, who passed away tragically at the age of 40 last month. Since, the east side community has mourned the loss of a teacher and coach who made his impact felt in the hallways of Morrison R. Waite High School. His associates at Waite say Howard understood that sports was an avenue that would allow him to connect with and shape the lives of young people, and he did that for close to two decades at numerous schools in Toledo. They say his efforts over the last 17 years will help his legacy of influencing high school students, both in the classroom and through athletics, to endure. Before passing, Howard served as the dean of students at Waite High and had once been an assistant coach with the girls’ basketball team. He also was an assistant with the Start football and boys’ basketball teams over the last three years. During his time coaching Waite’s football team, the Indians defeated east side rival Clay twice to win the Oil Barrel Trophy and the girls basketball team nearly won the Division I state championship in 2010 with Howard serving as an assistant under Manny May. The two were instrumental in helping to rebuild a program that had fallen on hard times and rebounded to reach the summit of basketball in Ohio. Todd Deem, the principal at Waite, knew Howard since the two started working together 17 years ago at Emery Leverette Elementary School and knew what Howard meant to his students. “It doesn’t matter if it was athletics or academics, he had a passion for students and their success. Either way, it was a passion for students and hoping and wanting them to improve and be the best person they could be. He cared about you wanting

He was definitely a caring, a big-hearted person,” said Deem. “If you’re around the building as an administrator, you always saw him having a conversation with a person, whether it was a male or female or a white or black person — it didn’t matter. ‘Let’s have a conversation, let’s figure it out. Here’s what we did wrong, here’s how we’re going to fix it.’ Not, ‘I’m giving you your disciplinary consequences and that’s it.’” Ability to connect In his heyday, Howard was a standout football player, earning All-Ohio honors as a defensive lineman at Defiance High

School before graduating in 1994 and then playing at Bowling Green State University, where he was a defensive tackle, defensive end and linebacker. Before earning his bachelor’s degree in 1999, Howard was twice named to the Mid-American Conference second team on defense. He later got his master’s degree at the University of Toledo in 2007. Howard’s coaching goes even further — he also coached boys’ basketball and boys and girls track -- in both junior high and high school and taught and worked as an administrator at Waite, Leverette, Robinson Junior High and Old Orchard Elementary. He coached football at Woodward, Start and St. John’s before becoming the head coach at Scott for a year in 2008 and then
moving on to Waite. “We had a memorial at Start High School for Gardner right after he passed away. It brought everyone together under one roof and allowed us to do the things we needed to do. It was white, black, Hispanic, mixed races, it didn’t matter, it was as diverse a group you could get,” Deem said. “That was Howard. It didn’t matter who you were, he was going to be the best for you. You could be a great athlete, but you better be a good person,” Deem continued. “Fair, caring and consistent are probably the words I would use to best describe him. Not that he couldn’t be intense, but there was a rhyme and reason for what the message was. After a disciplinary conversation, the student would come back and say, ‘I understand.’ He had a phenomenal rapport with kids.” Michael Johnson, who worked with Howard as a teacher at Waite before becoming the athletic director at Start three years ago, says Howard had an ability to connect with people. “One of my favorite coaches said the reason he coached was the ability to give back the knowledge he had, and I think that was true with Gardner. He spent a lot of time and effort and hours at school, not just at Waite and Start,” said Johnson. “He’s that rock who was there if students had a problem. They could rely on Gardner to give them good advice. That’s very critical to kids in that age group, 1518. I know a lot of kids at Start and Waite were really affected by his loss. We’re going to keep him in our thoughts. It’s not always easy to pick up and move on, even though that’s what you’re coached to do. Gardner will be missed, that’s for sure.” Johnson said Howard was instrumental in helping the Start football team win the Toledo City League title twice and making it to the playoffs for the first time in 2015. “Gardner was integral in bringing out the maturation in our quarterback. Once the quarterback saw the vision Gardner had, he propelled us to a record season. It was a lot of fun. Gardner had a lot of responsibility and input in our success that year,” Johnson said.

Clay wrestling coach Ralph Cubberly has always said that keeping his athletes disciplined and on their toes leads to results, and even in the offseason, his wrestlers respond. The Oregon Clay summer wrestling club went 10-0 in dual meets, including wins over some of the best teams from Michigan to capture the Central Michigan University Dual Meet Competition Camp championship. Mike Daly and Nick Daly both went 9-0, Jacob Moon went 12-1, Garret Anderson went 11-1, Josh Nagy went 9-1 and Brad Mendoza went 8-1. As a team, Clay went 156-63 in individual duals. Cubberly says the foundation has been strengthened by the work of the wrestlers and assistant coaches. “I think that the big difference is the fact that we are making the athletes mentally tougher. The wrestlers believe that they can win each time they step on the mat, and for that fact, that they should win every time they wrestle no matter who the opponent is,” Cubberly told The Press. “We talk about discipline and courage in order to compete at the highest level. We focus on trusting our conditioning and going out and scoring as many points as possible every time we wrestle. Being mentally tough and having confidence and a winning attitude can go a long way for an athlete who has high goals.” At CMU, Kyle Maville and Kyle Miller both went 10-2, Brandon Hardy went 7-3, Austin Thompson went 8-4 and Troy Murphy 7-4. Other participants were Dalton Olson (11-6), Stephen Pulter (5-8), Kam Miller (6-5), J.T. Meek (10-5), Lyle Campbell (4-4), and Ben Richmond (4-7). Clay defeated Dakota, winning 16 of 24 matches in round one, followed by team victories over Whitehall (won 13 of 18), Cincinnati Winton Woods (13 of 23), Warren Mott (18 of 20), Lamphere (18 of 20), Detroit Catholic Central (17 of 24), Chippewa Hills (12 of 21), Comstock Park (13 of 20), Pine River (20 of 26) and Niles (16 of 23).

Lydia Ko gets a bird’s eye view of downtown Toledo By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Marathon Classic tournament director and founder Judd Silverman says defending champion Lydia Ko took time off her busy schedule to fly to Toledo just to shoot a television commercial and attend the media day, and he couldn’t believe her attitude. “She’s the type of player that we’d be happy if she won it every year because she is just a joy to work with. After she played in Virginia over the weekend, we picked her up at Detroit airport at 7:15 a.m., and we asked her to shoot this television commercial for us that the good guys at Hart Associates are producing, and she got off that plane this morning like it was 1 o’clock in the afternoon, full of energy, and we took her from place to place to place to shoot this TV spot,” Silverman began. “It’s a cute spot, and she says, ‘If I’m going to win here again, I better get it to work,’ so the first shot she hit was at home plate at Fifth Third Field — Muddy the Mud Hen handed her a driver. The second shot she hit was out in the street with the policeman holding the ‘quiet’ signs, and she hit one down the street in front of Hensville. Then, we took her to the top of the Owens-Corning Fiberglass Tower, about 29 stories, and she’s up on the rooftop hitting off the rooftop. “Then we went to the Toledo Museum of Art, and then we went to her favorite spot, the Ronald McDonald House, where there were several kids from Toledo Hospital that were staying, and she was just incredible with these kids and they made Lydia and the kids part of the TV spot. From there, we went to Lydia Ko Drive so she could see her sign and she hit her last shot. She did it as a true professional and she did it with a smile on her face and never complained, and believe me, you don’t get that from every professional golfer that we come across. This is really a special person.” Ko added, “Normally I go from golf course to hotel and don’t get to look around much and it was really nice to go to downtown Toledo and be able to see high up, I got to see the whole city. It’s just incredible I got to see the view from up there.” Silverman says he has never seen anyone so poised at such a young age. “There are so many things to say about a young lady who on April 24th turned 20 years old,” Silverman said. “No. 1, she’s been the No. 1 player in the world for about 80 straight weeks. When you think about 20-years-old, you think about a sophomore in college. I have a son who is a junior in college, and I can’t imagine him traveling

Inspirational Message of the Week: Helping Others to Help Themselves The nineteenth century British philosopher John Stuart Mill argued persuasively for a variety of social reforms, and especially for state-supported public education, on the grounds that it “is help towards doing without help.”That is, education makes people more likely to be able to take care of themselves and live healthy, independent lives. It may be easier to just give people food or money to meet their immediate needs, but in the long run this may only foster a state of dependency, whereas if we take the time to teach the person how to fend for himself, he might fare better in the long run. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day but teach him how to fish
Oregon
and you feed him for a lifetime. There are lots of ways in which we can help others to help themselves, whether it is teaching them a skill or trade, or teaching them how to drive or to read. Reading opens doors to a whole world of help, because once you teach someone how to read, it gives them access to the entire fund of human knowledge. We should consider how we might help the people in our community, or even in our own families, to be more independent. For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat. —2 Thessalonians 3:10

See you in church! Northwood Marathon Classic defending champ Lydia Ko. (Photo courtesy Marathon Classic) around this world and getting around and playing in tournaments, letting alone winning in tournaments. “So, really what Lydia has accomplished already in her very young career is sort of mind-blowing to an old tournament director who has been around for 32 years. You know, 18 weeks at No. 1 in the Rolex world rankings, career money of $7.7 million, 2016 earnings of $2.5 million, but the thing that really blows me away more than anything is 14 wins on the LPGA tour and just turned 20-years-old. “So, when people ask me about Lydia, ‘What is she like?’ or ‘How does she do it?’ She’s just such a happy person and the other word, and I know I’ve thrown this word out before in describing her, is, to me, unflappable. No matter if things are going really well for her, which they do 99.9 percent of the time, or occasionally don’t go well for her, you can’t tell the difference in the way she walks, the way she acts, the smile is always there, and I don’t know — I just think there is some real magic in that, especially at that age.” The 32nd Annual Marathon LPGA Classic Presented by Owens Corning and Owens-Illinois will take place July 17-23 at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania.
