Gavarone updates on ‘no labels’ bill A bill designed to alert police officers of motorists with communication problems may be passed by the state legislature this year, Representative Theresa Gavarone, R – Bowling Green, informed the Lake Township trustees Tuesday. Rep. Gavarone said H.B. 115 passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 96-0 and has been referred to the Senate Government and Oversight and Reform Committee. She gave sponsor testimony to the senate committee in June. Gavarone credited Jenny Hughes, a Walbridge resident and parent of a son who is autistic but “high functioning”, with informing her about what she called the No Labels Initiative. The bill establishes a voluntary database of motorists with communication disabilities to be utilized by law enforcement officers through the Law Enforcement Automated Data System (LEADS). Before approaching a vehicle, an officer may run its registration and will be notified if a driver or passengers have registered as having a communication disability. Hughes said she met with Mark Hummer, Lake Township police chief, to

discuss the idea and he agreed there was a need to inform officers about motorists with disabilities. He, in turn, floated the idea to the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police. With the information kept private, rather than having a visible marker on a license plate or driver’s license, there is no stigma of being labeled as a person with a disability, Gavarone said, and because inclusion in the database is voluntary, medical privacy regulations aren’t violated. Someone can enroll by submitting a verification form and certification by a physician. “There is a lot of positive support” in the legislature, she said. Land purchase In other business, the trustees ap-

proved a resolution to purchase 6.7 acres at the corner of Lemoyne and Walbridge roads for $45,000. The trustees plan to use the parcel to expand the township cemetery, which sits next to the property. “We bought it for the future of our residents and non-residents,” Ken Gilsdorf, a trustee, said, adding the trustees consider it a good price. The additional acreage will add about 10 to 15 years worth of space to the cemetery, the trustees estimate Ron Hanley, township sexton, said a new columbarium is expected to be in place at the cemetery by mid-September. The trustees met in executive session Tuesday to discuss cemetery personnel issues but took no action. The trustees also approved a resolution to split the cost for a new emergency weather siren with the Village of Walbridge. The village and township will each pay $11,177. The siren will be located at Loop Park in the village and replace a siren on Main Street in the village. The township also currently has a siren along E. Broadway and another at the fire station on Ayers Road near Millbury. Village and township officials have said the siren being replaced may be more than 60 years old.

Northwood to revive summer rec By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications. Northwood is seeking a part-time recreation director to develop and coordinate city athletic, recreation and event programming. City Administrator Bob Anderson said the city once had a recreation director to organize the city’s summer recreation program. “They used to take them, in conjunction with the schools, to the art museum, swimming, take them all over the place. Right now, the city is in a position where we can start to offer residents quality of life programs.” Survey Mayor Ed Schimmel said he brought up the idea of hiring a part-time rec director after seeing the results of a recreation survey conducted by the city that was completed recently by residents. “Our residents overwhelmingly suggested bringing back the summer recreation program for children that was discontinued many years ago,” said Schimmel. “We need someone to organize that program, to continue to work on music and movie events in our parks, and to oversee the new farmers’ market. Our comprehensive plan from 2004 suggested hiring a full-time recreation director, so this has been a long time coming.” City council passed a job description for the position about two months ago, said Anderson. “We want to have someone in place by this fall so they can start working on things over the winter,” said Anderson. “We don’t have time this summer to get these programs going.” Councilman Dan Mikolajczyk is temporarily coordinating recreation programs until a part-time recreation director is hired. “I don’t have a problem doing it. I don’t want to do it the rest of my term,” he said. “If need be, I have no problem stepping up. The mayor has expressed a desire to Continued on page 2

Lake Twp.

Resident concerned about sludge application By Press Staff Writer The application of sludge from the City of Toledo’s wastewater treatment system to a field in Lake Township has drawn concerns from a resident adjacent to the field, Mark Hummer, township administrator, informed township trustees last week. Hummer reported to the trustees during their meeting Tuesday the resident hadn’t been notified the sludge – called Class B biosolids – was being applied to a 73-acre field along Ayers Road, east of I-280. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency informed the township and Wood County Health Department last month that

the agency authorized the field for receiving the sludge, which is applied as a fertilizer. “He wants to make sure they’re following the rules established by the EPA,” Hummer said. “He was concerned that he wasn’t notified they were going to do it. He felt the EPA should have notified adjacent property owners. He also had some questions about the field’s proximity to Ayers Creek.” The OEPA defines biosolids as treated solid, semi-solid or liquid residue generated during the treatment of domestic sewage. Class B biosolids may still contain micro-organisms after treatment. According to the OEPA, 16 other fields

in the township have been approved for application of biosolids. Last month, the OEPA approved a $2.95 million loan for the City of Oregon to help build a new dewatering system for sewage biosolids to allow the material to be sent to a landfill rather applying it to cropland. Presently, the City of Oregon applies the liquid biosolids to fields to fertilize future crops. When the dewatering system is operating, the city will stop that practice. According to the OEPA, the goal is to avoid adding phosphorus to crop land in the Lake Erie basin and possibly reduce harmful algal blooms.

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The City of Northwood is partnering with Northwood Commons, site of the former Great Eastern Shopping Center on Woodville Road, to start a farmers market, which starts this month. “We’d like to start a small one this year,” said City Administrator Bob Anderson. “My idea of a farmers’ market is vegetables and fruits that farmers grow.” Some communities, he added, offer other items as well. He praised the farmers market in Perrysburg, which started in 1998. Every Thursday from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. from May until October, local vendors offer everything from fruits and vegetables, annuals, perennials, herbs, baked goods, garden art, and prepared foods along Louisiana Ave. Anderson also liked the farmers market in Bowling Green, held each Wednesday from May to October. It offers fresh produce, flowers, fine arts and crafts along Clough and S. Main streets. “They both have definitive downtowns,” he said, which helps highlight the local businesses. Despite the lack of a downtown area, Northwood looked around for a suitable site before settling on Northwood Commons. Vendors will not be limited to just Northwood farmers, he said. Vendors outside the city are also welcome. “We have a list of vendors from the area we’re going to contact,” he said. Good location Mayor Ed Schimmel said the idea of a farmers market “has been many years in the making.” “We allocated funds in the 2017 budget, but held off on starting the market until we had a good location.” The Woodville Mall site isn’t ready for a market yet,” he added. “So we have partnered with Northwood Commons to have the market there.” Plans call for the market to be held on Mondays from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. from August 21 to September 25. “We chose a night different from neighboring communities in the hopes of attracting vendors and residents in the area,” said Schimmel. “I hope residents see a value in having a local farmers market and are as excited as I am to have expanded recreation options and activities in Northwood.”

Oregon OKs moratorium on medical marijuana Oregon City Council last month approved a resolution that imposes a sixmonth moratorium on the granting of permits or certificates of occupancy for any building, structure, use or change of use that would enable the retail sale of medical marijuana in order to allow council and the planning commission to review applicable Ohio statutes, criminal codes and the city zoning code. On June 8, 2016, the Ohio General Assembly passed legislation that, among other things, permits patients in Ohio to use medical marijuana on the recommendation of physicians, creates state regulatory oversight of the cultivation, processing, retail sale, use and physician recommendation of medical marijuana, authorizes the legislative authority of a city to adopt regulations to prohibit or limit the number of retail medical marijuana dispensaries, and prohibits a cultivator, processor, retail dispensary or laboratory from being located or relocating within 500 feet of a school, church, public library, public playground or public park.

“

This moratorium would allow council, and the planning commission, to look at what, if any, zoning restrictions we may want to implement.

“

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

Council and the planning commission, according to the resolution, require additional time to undertake a review of all applicable codes statewide and within the city in order to formulate a local response to the legislation.

Guidelines “This moratorium would allow council, and the planning commission, to look at what, if any, zoning restrictions we may want to implement,” said Law Director Melissa Purpura. “The House bill allows the city to either prohibit, or make stricter guidelines for where you would want to put these dispensaries, what security measures you would like to implement. It just allows the city more time to get more of this information.” She said there are 11 municipalities in Ohio that have enacted moratoriums. “Our surrounding cities have also done so,” she said, including Rossford, Swanton and Maumee. “They’re taking the time to understand whether they want these dispensaries, and if they do, to where would they like to limit them, and what regulations would they like that are above and beyond what the state regulates,” said Purpura. “Can we revisit this after six months and do it again?” Councilman Tim Zale asked Purpura. “Yes, we’re allowed to do that,” said Purpura. “I think this ordinance is good, and

gives us some time to do our due diligence because there are a lot of unknowns with the introduction of dispensaries of marijuana,” said Councilman Jim Seaman. “I don’t think any of us could completely foresee all the difficulties that may emerge, what novel and creative and innovative ideas we can see from other cities. We could learn from that. I know it’s been legalized at the state level, but I think we should do our due diligence.” Timeline The Department of Commerce oversees the rules and regulations, said Purpura. The rules will be finalized in September 2017. By September of 2018, the market for medical marijuana is set to be operational. “So it does give us adequate time. Some of this extra time is needed to figure out what the state is doing because once the state sets their guidelines, we can then look at their guidelines.” She said the city could then either prohibit, make stricter, or accept what the state is requiring. “So in September 2017, we should get some of those rules and regulations, which will give us time through the planning commission to decide what we want to do,” she said.

B-C-S sup’t says: Case manager needed for gifted program Proposals for establishing a case manager position to assist gifted students and to provide a program for online alternatives to the traditional educational setting were presented to the Benton-Carroll-Salem school board last week. Superintendent Guy Parmigian said he and the board have been discussing ways to better meet the needs of gifted students. “We see gifted students as one end of the spectrum of students we serve. Our special needs students have a case manager. We’re talking about students with disabilities and handicaps. Our gifted students are exceptional students too, but in a different

way. So we’re looking at carrying forward the concept of a case manager to serve the needs of gifted kids,” Parmigian said. “The idea is a case manager will insure that kids are exposed to advanced learning opportunities and get the most academic growth that they can. The case manager would work with that student’s teachers and parents and with the student directly to make sure everything is headed in the right direction.” Parmigian estimates the manager would be working a few hours per work. Initially, the manager would be focusing on middle school students, he said. He also updated the board on the status of what will be called the Launch Pad program to provide online learning options for students. “We don’t believe that online is right

450 miles from home

Cyclist hits $20,000 goal for Save Our Children 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.

A bit of serendipityâ&#x20AC;Śin the beautiful river town of Stillwater, Minnesota, I decided to knock on the door of St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church since I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a place to stay for the night â&#x20AC;&#x201D; might they have a place where I could pitch a tent or throw my sleeping pad and bag? They did not, but Flo Harris â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the office manager who was just closing up for the day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; made a couple of calls, and scheduled a complimentary stay for me at the beautiful and historic Lowell Inn in Stillwater â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of the classic old hotels dating back to 1927. And then on the streets of La Crosse, Wisconsin, I stopped to look at my maps as I am often wont to do. A man and his daughter approached me to find out what I was about. Actually, they had driven by me, pulled over, and got out just to come back and talk to me. Mark and Matty were very interested in my story, and before I knew it, they had invited me to come and stay at their home for the night. Mark is an avid cyclist himself, so there was much to discuss. Matty was leaving the next day for a trip to Glacier National Park with her momâ&#x20AC;ŚGlacier Park â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I remembered it well!

Hello Everyone When the little stream finds its way out of Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much more than a small babbling brook. You can straddle it, put your feet on either side, and wade ankle deep through its shallow waters. But within a couple hundred miles, its breadth and force begin to build, fed by numerous tributaries . . . and then the stream becomes a riverâ&#x20AC;Śbut not just any riverâ&#x20AC;Śit becomes a waterway that aspires greatly. By the time it reaches Minneapolis/St. Paul, it has become one of the major rivers of the world. Native Americans called it Misi-ziibi or Great River. Broad and expansive, its valley stretches for miles across a vast wetland that forms the Mississippi Flyway, a route that almost half the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s migratory birds and waterfowl follow on their yearly migrations from the Arctic to Central and South America. It is a river of substance, a river of culture and history, a river of powerful geologic forces. As the Native Americans who lived and hunted along its banks and traveled its currents would sayâ&#x20AC;Śit is The Father of Waters. The Mississippi River courses for 2,300 miles through the heartland, and along with its mighty tributaries, the Missouri and Ohio rivers, it drains the entire central region of the United States and southern Canada stretching from the Appalachians to the Rocky Mountains. Rains falling on those widely separated slopes mingle and find their way together as they flow into the Gulf of Mexico at the Great Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouth at New Orleans. Much like a human body, this major artery carries the lifeblood of our country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; its produce and commerce â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to faraway destinations and markets. The Mississippi River is central to our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story, and although we have altered it and try to control it, we have not tamed it. The Father of Waters does indeed have a mind of its own. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been wheeling along the course of the Great River this past week for over 200 miles on what is known as The Great River Road â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a series of roadways on either side of the Mississippi that follow closely its course. The scenery has been magnificent with dramatic river bluffs etching either shore. These bluffs and forested hills are

(Photo courtesy of Al Thompson) part of what is known as the Driftless Region â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an area that was not touched by the glaciers of the most recent ice ages â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and hence these bluffs were unaffected by glaciations resulting in a dramatic and rugged landscape. They are home to bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and various other raptors soaring on wind currents and searching for that next tasty meal of fish. First on the Minnesota side, and now on the Wisconsin side â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cycling along The Great River Road has been a truly spectacu-

lar ride â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of the premiere rides of my journey, as was my ride up the Columbia River Gorgeâ&#x20AC;Śas was my ride in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark along the mighty Missouri. The Mississippi, the Missouri, the Columbia, the Colorado, and the Ohio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; these major rivers of our country form not only the geographic backbone of this land, but they are significant to our history, expansion, and growth. They are integral to our well-being as a country, and need to be preserved and protected.

Two great kindnesses shown to a wayfaring cyclist â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This morning, August 1, I started out in Wisconsin, then I was in Illinois for about five minutes, and finally Iowa welcomed me. Actually, I was on my way to work with Dubuque Habitat For Humanity. Dubuque lies along the banks of The Father Of Waters, and my goodness, it is one hilly city. The Habitat worksite was far above the banks of the Mississippi, and I had to get off and push Floyd and Bob (the trailer) up an unbelievably steep grade. Rarely do I have to get off and push, but this was one of those rare times - the grade was virtually unrideable. Once at the Habitat job site, it took me a while to recover, but it turned out to be a great day, and my 18th volunteer opportunity with a Habitat For Humanity affiliate for this journey. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reached my goal of $20,000 for Save The Children. All the donations are so important, but I will just mention that John Hood made a donation in the exact amount that got me (us) to $20,000. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know John, but he explained to me that he had been following my blog because of the news report from one of our TV stations in Toledo. Thank you to all of my donors who made this possible! I am now about 450 miles from home, and I am Proceeding On. Al Thompson usperimeterride.org

Want to be successful? Take consistent, positive action How do you define success? Ask 100 people and you will get 100 different answers. What’s important is what success means to you. True success is attaining your dreams, living in a manner which you consider rewarding. True success also involves appreciating your journey. Life is change. You change, what you want changes, and circumstances change. Always being aware of, and appreciating all of the blessings in your life is part of being truly successful. True success is about experiences. Dream big. Take chances. Don’t allow fear to shape your life. There is nothing stopping you from having a rewarding life. Any obstacles can be overcome. Setbacks are part of true success. Successful people overcome setbacks. Failure only occurs when you give up. A positive attitude, persistence, and determination are the fuel which keeps you moving forward. Success is possible when you take consistent, positive action. Those who are truly successful are able to change, adapt, and adjust as needed. They are able to make the best of whatever circum-

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden stances they encounter. Truly successful people become very adept at finding solutions to whatever problems they encounter. You define your meaning of true success. There’s no need to compare yourself to others. It does not matter what someone else is doing, or what they have. The opinions of others concerning your success are irrelevant. Negative input from critics is immaterial. Focusing on following your desired path leads to true success. True success is just as much about your character as it is your achievements. True success requires you to act ethically and morally. There are no ethical shortcuts on the road to true success. Doing the right thing is the foundation from which success is built. Your personal development enhances

true success. As you learn and grow, additional options open up. Education is a lifetime pursuit, and there is always more to learn. There’s no need to waste time by reinventing the wheel. Learn from those who have already found success along a path similar to yours. Each person is motivated by what’s important to them. Identifying what motivates you is essential. True success requires you to follow your own path. You need a specific direction. Subverting your desires in favor of other’s expectations takes you off track. It’s virtually impossible to find satisfaction by attaining someone else’s goals. Family, friends, career, money, achievement, recognition, health, recreation, hobbies, and travel are just some examples of the areas which are important to different people. Create a personal inventory list of what’s meaningful to you and why. You don’t need to share this with, or justify it to anyone, so be honest with yourself. Your true success is based on your specific personality, likes, and dislikes. It’s not meant to fit anyone else. Don’t listen to naysayers or critics. You don’t have to, and

probably can’t, change their minds. Staying on your path to true success takes effort. The greater the success desired, the more effort required. Don’t make excuses. Don’t complain. Do what is necessary. Your most important step is the next one. Get back up whenever you stumble and fall. If you don’t already know, determine what you want to accomplish at this point in your life. What you pick is totally up to you. This is your true success objective. Next, write down the steps required to reach your objective. This is your plan. Now you are ready to take your first step, then the next one. Just keep going. You can have true success. Live life your way. Follow your own path and enjoy your journey.

Homegrown trees provide free, convenient fruit in season By Jill Richardson One of the simplest ways to improve your family’s diet? Plant a fruit tree. Or plant several. The last time I was fortunate enough to have a yard, I planted four of them. Unfortunately, I broke up with my thenboyfriend and moved out right about the time all four began producing fruit. Fortunately, however, I landed just a few blocks away, in a small apartment complex with nine fruit trees planted on the property: pomegranate, grapes, figs, and several varieties of citrus. My first goal was to find out who was eating the fruit… and how much of it they’d share with me. The answer was all good news. The neighbors only really ate the oranges and a few of the lemons and figs. The rest was mine. Mature fig trees can produce an incredible number of figs. After the effort you ex-

Ban on exotics To the editor: The plight of an Ohio woman who made a desperate call to 911 after her boa constrictor clamped down on her face begs the question: Why is it legal to keep these dangerous animals as “pets”? A Florida toddler was killed in her crib by the family’s pet python and two Canadian boys were strangled to death by an escaped snake. People have been airlifted to hospitals after being bitten by captive snakes and neighborhoods have been evacuated when they made a break for it, costing taxpayers money and putting first responders at risk. Contact with reptiles—either directly or simply touching things they’ve come in contact with—also poses a serious risk of contracting Salmonella, which kills nearly 400 people annually, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most reptiles captured or bred for the pet trade end up ignored and neglected in cramped aquarium tanks or dark basements and garages. When the novelty wears off, many are simply dumped outside like trash, where they’ll starve to death or die of exposure or predation. Those who survive

Guest Editorial pend to plant the tree, almost no work is required apart from picking and eating figs once a year. I’ve since moved to a different part of that town, but I still show up to pick figs every summer. This summer, I’ve already picked over 25 pounds, made two batches of jam, eaten countless figs myself, and shared plenty more with friends. Meanwhile, another friend with blackberry brambles has more blackberries than she knows what to do with. We’ve arranged to trade berries for figs. In the cases of both figs and berries,

Letters

there’s nothing like eating fruit ripe from the vine. You can allow the fruit to fully ripen before picking it, because — unlike the supermarket — you don’t need to worry about it keeping for days while it’s shipped across the country. While homegrown lemons and limes are no more ripe than the ones from the store, I love the convenience of picking a lemon when I need it for a recipe instead of having to remember to get it from the store ahead of time. Of course, most of the country can’t grow the citrus and tropical fruits we’re blessed with here in San Diego. But wherever you live, you can grow something, and local nurseries will have appropriate trees for your area. Colder climates are often known for their berries and apples. Other perennials like rhubarb and asparagus can feed you year after year as well, with little work after they’re planted.

Cemetery woes To the editor: I was born and raised in the ‘05’ my whole life with no regrets. When I retired we moved into Oregon, a lovely little city that has great services. The police patrol the neighborhoods regularly. Snow gets plowed whenever it snows and the trash collection is next to none compared to what I was used to in East Toledo. So being of retirement age, one starts looking at their final resting place. In Oregon, you have two choices: Willow Cemetery on Pickle Road, where you can spend eternity surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of the Toledo Refinery.

The other choice is the North Cemetery on Ottawa Creek near Corduroy Road, directly across from the waste water treatment plant and down wind of the dump. Nether of these is what I would consider as a final resting place. If Oregon wants to become great and up-scale city it should start by getting a decent cemetary location. Bernie Wineland Oregon

Thanks to the theatre To the editor: Thanks to Pastor Beth and all the volunteers who put together the Oregon Community Theatre. It takes everyone working together for a successful production. There were 99 children with costumes and the sets always looked good. It’s great for the kids to have something like this for the summer. Cheryl Kigar Oregon

Gardening can be time consuming, and it can require expertise. It certainly requires enough planning and forethought to get the right seeds in the ground at the right time each year. Then there’s weeding and watering on top of that. Fruit trees, on the other hand, are an easy source of free, fast food after you do the initial legwork to pick a variety that thrives in your area and plant it in a location that suits it. They are a gift that keeps on giving. If you move out of your house, they continue giving to whoever moves in next. My ex was the beneficiary of the four trees I planted. He recently moved out, and the new tenant is getting all the goodies. It’s a gift that keeps on giving.

Elmore

Wine Flight takes off in downtown Elmore By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Craft beer, good food and more than 200 wine labels – an establishment offering all this and more is taking flight in downtown Elmore, thanks to Rebekah and Tony Zimmerman, Wine Flight is an ideal fit that adds to the town’s eclectic blend of businesses. The Zimmermans have put a great deal of time and effort into this endeavor, and thus far, business is soaring. Both graduates of The Ohio State University, the couple gained an appreciation for the wine industry while living in Columbus. That, and an entrepreneurial spirit that arose from growing up in families who owned businesses, has helped the Zimmermans get to this point. “We did market research to see what could be (possible). We looked for a building and we researched places from Sylvania to Sandusky and down to Clyde and the small towns in between,” said Tony, a Fremont native. “Elmore was the last place we looked. There was an available liquor permit, a building for sale and no direct competitors. When we moved to Elmore, we had to drive 30-40 minutes for a place like this.” Drop by Wine Flight, located at 332

Rice St., to purchase a bottle of wine or stay awhile and enjoy a drink while admiring the winery’s colorful interior and its patio. The store is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. In addition to the winery’s charming interior and relaxed setting, patrons can take advantage of Rebekah’s extensive knowledge of wine. In fact, she recently obtained her sommelier license – a certification for trained and knowledgeable wine professionals. “I’ve homed in on the (wine) regions, soil types and grapes. The new vintages, the new regions – it makes for a fun experience. I want to make sure I find wines for great prices,” said Rebekah, who grew up in Dundee, Michigan. “That comes with research and studying. Going to the grocery store can be very intimidating for people not fluent in wine language. We try to be approachable and relatable.” The Wine Flight staff, which numbers five in addition to the Zimmermans, is also knowledgeable and can answer a variety of questions. Patrons will find Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling from France, Italy and Spain, as well as some varieties that are lesser-known, but worth a try.

And, it’s always enjoyable to have wine with food, whether its hummus ($7), Pilot’s Salsa ($5), The Board (meats, cheese, crackers; $12) or S’mores ($7). Wine Flight also welcomes food from local establishments like Red, White and Brew, Pisanello’s Pizza, Village Inn Grill, and the Portage Inn. “We have something for everybody,” Tony said. That includes the 35-40 labels of beer the store has, all of which are craft beers. The thinking behind that is the Zimmermans want to support businesses that are similar in scope and size to Wine Flight. There are memberships available, too. The Adventure Seeker Wine Club is $30 per month (plus tax) for two bottles; the Sweet Pilot Wine Club (sweet and dessert wines) for $30 per month (plus tax) for two bottles; and the Mile High Wine Club for $60 per month (plus tax) for two bottles of top-notch wine from premier regions.

St. John’s fifth annual Cruise In to benefit charity The 5th Annual Cruise In at St. John’s UCC will be held Sunday, Aug. 13 from noon-3 p.m. at the church, 1213 Washington St., Genoa. In addition to the car show, there will be music by Cruisin’ Zeake, food and prizes. Proceeds benefit Habitat for Humanity. For info, call 419-855-3906 or visit www. stjohnsgenoa.org.

Etc. “Over 36 years ago, the Maumee Bay Carvers Association was organized with the purpose to promote, preserve and mentor the art form and tradition of carving and painting waterfowl,” Second said. “We invite beginner and advanced carvers to attend our free Wednesday carve-along sessions held at the Woodcraft Store, 5311 Airport Hwy, Toledo, Ohio 43615, from 4:30-6:30 p.m. “Bring along your current project or we will help you get started with carving tips, advice and lots of fun,” he said.

The public is invited to attend the Maumee Bay Carvers Association 36th Annual Decoy Show and Competition on Saturday, Aug. 26 at Magee Marsh State Wildlife Area Check-in Station, 13229 W. SR 2, east of Toledo and north of Oak Harbor. Carvers can compete by entering their working decoys and shorebirds, which will be judged and awarded various prizes including cash, rosettes and ribbons. The family-friendly event offers an opportunity to view decoys and shorebirds made by hand in the tradition of the American hunting style decoy. “We welcome carvers of all skill levels. The decoys and shorebirds range from simplistic hunting style designs to ornately decorative forms that are often hard to determine from the actual live bird,” said Steve Secord, Maumee Bay Carvers president. Following the tradition of waterfowl hunters, the working decoys are floated in water and judged as to how their appearance would attract live waterfowl. The shorebirds are displayed and judged by category. Registration for carvers is 8-10 a.m., and judging begins after registration. A Sell and Swap meet will also be held relating to hunting items, decoys, and carving and wood supplies. Admission to the show is free and there is a small entry fee for the competition. The show location is accessible with strollers and wheelchairs. Visit www.maumeebaycarvers.com for the rules, entry form and more details.

Book launch event Toledo native Jenna Patrick is returning home to celebrate the launch of her debut novel, “The Rules of Half.” Described by Redbook as “captivating and emotionally harrowing,” “The Rules of Half” explores the concepts of mental illness and an a-typical family dynamic, all set against the backdrop of a small, closed-minded town. With features on Yahoo! News, Redbook, Working Mother, Harper’s Bazaar and more, Jenna has made a splash with her debut novel. She will be celebrating the launch at Gathering Volumes Bookstore in

West Sister Island Sunset Cruise History will come alive as President Teddy Roosevelt boards the Jet Express for a once-in-a-lifetime sunset cruise around West Sister Island. President Roosevelt will share his involvement with the National Wildlife Refuge System and explain why protecting natural areas is so important. He may even sign an autograph or two. West Sister Island National Wildlife Refuge is a rookery; a place where local wading birds like herons and egrets come to nest. Located nine miles off shore, the island is covered with tall hackberry trees and an unforgiving understory of poison ivy. The area is closed to all but permitholding researchers. Cruise participants will learn about the island rookery from researchers including Dave Sherman from the Ohio Division of Wildlife, naturalist Tom Bartlett, and the United States Fish & Wildlife Service. The cruise will launch from the Jet

Express dock in downtown Port Clinton at 7:15 p.m. and return to port at 9:45 p.m. Hors-d’oeuvres and a cash bar will be provided on the ferry.

Church Worship Guide Deadline: Thursday 11:00 am

Inspirational Message of the Week: Avoiding Strife There are walks of life where one is required to argue. Lawyers, politicians and teachers are frequently in positions where they must argue persuasively for one position or another. That is part and parcel of their job, and arguing serves.The valuable service of allowing the truth to stand out in contrast to error or ignorance. In many areas of life, however, arguing serves no useful purpose and just creates needless strife and division. When people are making casual conversation it is easy to find things to disagree with, but such disagreements rarely foster peace and harmony. It is tedious to be around someone who is always correcting us. With family, friends, and co-workers it is usually better to find areas of mutual agreement rather than disagreement.

Recycle your yard waste locally.

And even when there is disagreement, sometimes the way to resolve the issue is to start with what you agree on and see if you can move on from there. When we must argue, it can usually be done calmly and with civility. Sometimes we find ourselves drifting into argument without realizing how this even happened. Someone may have said something that we feel must be challenged. As the discussion turns from mild difference of opinion to angry disagreement, our tempers flare and we often say things we will regret. By being less argumentative you will probably find that you get along with others much better. “It is to one’s honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel.” —Proverbs 20:3 NIV

Madison, Indiana – “the best river town in America”

Madison, Indiana’s historic district of Greek Revival and Federal-style mansions hugs a beautiful stretch of the Ohio River that includes a scenic state park, Clifty Falls. (Photo by Art Weber)

Natural Wanders by Art Weber the mansion, is excited as she patiently leads a pair of visitors through the elegant and faithfully restored structure, pointing out dozens of architectural details. While the anchor of the historic district is the Lanier Mansion, the monument to Madison’s natural history is along the river at the west end of town. Clifty Falls State Park is 1,519 acres of scenic cliffs that serve as lofty diving plat-

ley that contains Clifty Creek and its tributaries. Trails in the park are very scenic and many of them are rated rugged and strenuous, but well worth the effort. Those more challenged by mobility and time to walk will find plenty of fascination at a variety of easily accessible locations and overlooks. It’s a natural masterpiece sculpted out of limestone and shale by ice and water, and frosted with a topping of forests and fields. No matter the time of year, the setting is beautiful. It’s also home to one of the best places to stay in the area. Clifty Inn offers visitors year-round lodging and restaurants, as well as a lofty ridge-top scenic overlook of the City of Madison and the majestic Ohio River. For more information, visit www. VisitMadison.org.

“

...architecture steeped in another time period has been preserved and repurposed, adapted without destroying the original look.

“

Madison, Indiana, is the best river town in America – that’s according to Charles Kuralt, the late long-time host of CBS’ “On the Road.” You don’t have to convince the packed house at Off Broadway Taproom on Madison’s Main Street, in the heart of the historic district and a hop and a skip from the mighty Ohio River. On a Tuesday night, residents and tourists get together, rocking to a collaboration of musicians offering up a smorgasbord of sounds. Smiling waitresses are kept bustling, delivering craft beers and drinks and food to good-humored customers. Up front, at a table with a street view, a visitor two-hands his enormous BLT sandwich and marvels at the taste – the T is a fried green tomato that lends a deliciously unique texture and flavor, and elevates that old favorite to a higher level. The Taproom is only a piece of a booming quintessential Midwestern downtown that’s embedded in a huge historic district that encompasses 130 blocks dominated by Federal style and Greek Revival mansions. That district, one of the largest in the United States, combines with an attractive and welcoming riverfront. In the manner of so many areas along the Ohio River, the topography is rolling as it approaches the river, before dropping precipitously at a steep ridge above the river itself. If your preference is for the modern, there’s plenty of it on the high ground. Shop at Dollar General and Walmart, stay at chain motels, do the same things you can do in almost any settlement of size. But if it’s the interesting and unique you’re looking for, drop down to the river. There, along the long and narrow river bottom, you’ll find the historic district where architecture steeped in another time period has been preserved and repurposed, adapted without destroying the original look. The old trolley barn looks like the same old transportation center it once was, only inside is a Japanese sushi and seafood eatery along with a pub, the home of Mobreki Brewing. Then there’s the old train station. It’s now a museum center celebrating passenger rail travel in the early 1900s. The community centerpiece, though, is the J.F.D. Lanier Mansion overlooking the river. It’s considered one of the country’s best examples of Greek Revival architecture. Phyllis Stevens, site administrator for

They married in 1955 and returned to the area a year later. They have four children, nine grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Tom worked as a meat cutter and managed a number of stores while Barbara was employed by the former Citizens Savings Bank. The couple has donated their time to a variety of local organizations through the years like the Pemberville-Freedom Area Historical Society, Friends of the Library, Garden Club and they’re also supporters of Boy Scouts of America.

Tom served in the National Guard at the same time my husband was serving. If you needed a helping hand and called Tom and Barb, they would usually graciously say ‘yes.’ It’s a real honor for them. I know they were excited,” Sheets continued. “Pemberville has been known to be a very active community. My husband and I jumped in with both feet — we started coaching baseball and now we are board members. It takes a lot of volunteers to make a community a real place where people want to come.” Kate Keppler, who helps prepare the fair booklet, says the Meyers and Godfrey have always been role-players.

“I think it says that they stand out, they’ve contributed, they’ve given back and they’ve made a difference. It’s been such a positive difference. They stand out as people who are respected and have the village of Pemberville at heart. Karen was very humbled, and she felt there were people that are more deserving of her. I said, ‘No, there are a lot of people who are deserving. You were chosen by the village, the village nominated you. The village and the nominees speak for themselves.’ Keppler continued, “I moved to Pemberville 30 years ago and I grew up in a family that was always involved. That’s how my parents were. I moved there as a single parent, and I just love the community. My husband has lived in Pemberville for his adult life. I met my husband volunteering at a pancake breakfast for the fair. I guess the fair holds a special meaning for us.”

It seems the most selfless people help others for the sake of doing so, and, for them, any reward that comes with doing the right thing is merely a bonus. So, it might have felt odd to Tom and Barbara Meyer to be chosen the Pemberville Fair Senior King and Queen and to Karen Godfrey to be selected as the fair’s Outstanding Citizen. But when you look at their list of accolades, it’s certainly not a surprise to see Godfrey and the Meyers receive praise for their decades of service to the community. They will be honored during the fair, which is August 16-19. Godfrey was born and raised in Pemberville. A mother of four and grandmother of eight, she taught in the Eastwood School District at the elementary level and as a special needs teacher. Since retiring, Godfrey helped to found a tutoring program that pairs local students with senior citizens at the Otterbein Portage Valley Senior Lifestyle Community. She also works with the Pemberville Friends of the Library, has served as president of the Women of the Church at Bethlehem Lutheran and is the head of the funeral luncheon committee. Godfrey is also part of the Quilting Eagles and has sewn a multitude of quilts, giving them to preschoolers, veterans and those living with illnesses. “I’ve known her for a long, long time. She was a student of mine in college, she came to my classroom and she spent six weeks with me. She’s a very, very giving person — a very community-minded person,” said board member Nedra Sheets. “She’s a very deserving person to be awarded the Outstanding Citizen. She’s very active in her church and very active in the community. She’s a very willing person. Generally, if you ask her to volunteer, she’s very willing to help out. She was an excellent teacher and most of her teaching career was in the Eastwood School District.” The Meyers are also active members

Cooke Castle

Players group to raise funds

Cooke Castle (Photo courtesy Ohio Sea Grant)

The Friends of Stone Laboratory, in cooperation with Ohio Sea Grant and the Courthouse Players theater group, will present “The Andersonville Trial” at the South Bass Island Lighthouse on August 19 at 6 p.m. All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit historic Cooke Castle on Gibraltar Island, constructed in 1864 and 1865 by Civil War financier Jay Cooke as a summer residence. The play, written by Saul Levitt, depicts the 1865 trial of Captain Henry Wirz, the only person tried for war crimes after the Civil War. He commanded the Andersonville Prison, where nearly 14,000 Union soldiers died of starvation and disease. Tickets are $25 per person, with all proceeds supporting the Jay Cooke Home Restoration Fund. Guests are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance at ohioseagrant.osu.edu/p/30x3b, but if the event does not sell out, some tickets will be available at the gate. The event is held outdoors and will run rain or shine. Tents, chairs and restrooms will be available on site. Guests should take the Miller Ferry from Catawba Island at 5 or 5:30 p.m. There will be no transportation from the

Miller Ferry to the South Bass Island Lighthouse, which is located on a .3-mile walk away from the ferry dock. The last ferry back to the mainland leaves the Putin-Bay dock at 9 p.m. Since 2009, the Courthouse Players have presented legal dramas at a variety of historic and non-profit venues. Last October, the cast performed “The Andersonville Trial” on the 150th anniversary of the actual trial in the United States Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C., where the original trial took place. “We’ve been presenting Andersonville longer than the Civil War lasted,” said Canton Law Director Joe Martuccio, director of Courthouse Players. Located on the 6½-acre Gibraltar Island in Put-in-Bay harbor, Stone Laboratory is Ohio State’s Island Campus on Lake Erie and the research, education, and outreach facility of the Ohio Sea Grant College Program. The Ohio State University’s Ohio Sea Grant College Program is part of NOAA Sea Grant, a network of 33 Sea Grant programs dedicated to the protection and sustainable use of marine and Great Lakes resources.

Woodville’s Magsig Sawmill endures for nearly 100 years In the early 1980s, Alan Magsig had a choice — take over his family’s sawmill or see it close down after nearly 60 years in operation. Magsig chose to keep the saw mill in business, and it has stayed that way ever since. The mill is now closing in on about 100 years of continuous operation. Since 1965, the saw mill has been operating just outside Woodville on County Highway 56, which was called Magsig Road before the county and its townships took away the historic family names on roads and replaced them with numbers. But his grandfather, John Magsig, started the sawmill just down the road from there nearly 100 years ago, and then his father, Virgil, or “Spike” because he was tall and lean, in 1965 moved the mill to its current location less than a mile from the U.S. 20 and State Route 300 intersection. The Magsig Sawmill is located on a scenic, wooded property not far from the Portage River. Walking onto the property, the typical customer comes across the odor of sawdust, which Alan Magsig has gotten used to, as did other family members who worked there. “If the family legend is accurate and correct, my grandfather had seven brothers — there were eight boys in the family. One of my grandfather’s brothers down this road, and on River Road going toward Woodville, he had a farm there, and they established a mill there about 1920ish,” said Alan, who turns 60 this month. “They worked there until they were getting into their 70s, and my dad bought them out and moved the mill down here in 1965. “He ran it from ’65 until I graduated from Woodmore High School in 1975. And, it was a combination of things — I got interested in forestry and have a degree in forestry from Michigan Technological University. My first job took me to South Dakota and The Black Hills. Loved the area, but the job situation was not so good. But, I couldn’t get this place out of my head. All the while I was in South Dakota and Wyoming I fell in love with Ohio again. Lots of people told me I was crazy for doing that. “So, I came back here late in 1979, just after Thanksgiving, and started working for my dad at the mill until about ’82, when my mother decided to start collecting social security, and they asked my dad to see what he could get. He said, ‘No, I don’t want to retire,’ but they said, ‘Let’s find out what you could have gotten.’ He said, ‘they’ll pay me that much? OK, I’ll retire.’ So, I had a decision to make, just like that. “Well, he came back and said, ‘Well, I can’t run the business and have social security at the same time, so either you take it over or we’ll shut the mill down.’ ‘OK, well, I guess I’ll take the mill over.’ That was about 1982 and I’ve been doing that ever since. My brother did the farming and he got out of that at about the same time, so I took over the farming first. I’ve been doing that ever since (35 years).” At one time, the family-run business was booming, too. “I can remember back in the mid-60s. My dad got out of the Army in the 40s,

World War II, and I think he bought this farm in ’48, and he’d haul logs for them (Magsig Sawmill), and there used to be a basket factory in Elmore, and he’d haul logs for them,” Magsig said. “When I took over in the early ‘80s, it was really, really busy. I worked with him and we could just barely keep up. One at a time, the businesses that we dealt with went out of business, or something — I don’t really know. People don’t have cattle (for stalls) like they used to.” A few machinery adjustments Even though much of his clientele today wants a historic-looking pioneer cut or a custom cut that cannot be provided by the typical lumber yard, he still has had to adjust with newer machinery — to some degree. “The old mill my dad had used an old circular saw and we still have a couple of them. The blades are 56 inches in diameter. We made a cut about a quarter of an inch wide, and there was a lot of waste,” Magsig said. “The mill was getting old and I couldn’t get parts for it anymore, and I couldn’t cut anything square anymore, so I started with these portable band saw mills that were on the market and were getting refined, and then I started looking into that and said if I wanted to stay in the business it was the only thing I could do. So, I bought that in 2005. The band is about an eighth of an inch, so depending on the size of the log, I can get two to three more boards out of every log just because of what I don’t turn into sawdust. So, that’s a considerable savings.” He has since sold two circular saw blades, but keeps his vintage circular saws in storage. One circular blade got so beaten up over the years, he didn’t sell it and keeps it hanging in a woodshed near his band saw blades, which he has to sharpen, all the time, to keep fresh. “I can run it for maybe two hours, and if it starts getting dull and starts to cut crooked, I need to sharpen it,” Magsig said. His business is so unique, that that when he needs to buys or sell his old equipment, he just heads to Holmes County, Ohio. “Down in Millersville, in Amish Country, near a spring they have a consignment sale for forestry, logging type of equipment, and some of it I took down there and sold down there,” Magsig said.

Magsig Sawmill the place to go for that pioneer look By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com The owner of Magsig Sawmill says his business probably couldn’t keep up with an order from a major box store, but “I can supply some things that they can’t supply, but not in quantity, though.” What Alan Magsig’s business, located on County Road 56 near Woodville, does cater to is a special clientele that many other larger lumber yards cannot. Magsig says a market remains for a small family-owned sawmill like his, although the work is not what it used to be. One of his customers was Schroeder and Younker Lumber Co., which suddenly closed when its owner, then-94-year-old Charles Schroeder, passed away. That’s often the case. “I’d like to say I get an income out of it, but it’s always been kind of fluctuating. It’s real busy, and then it slows down, and then it gets busy again,” Magsig said. “I cut a lot of trailer decking for truck decking sideboards, farm lumber, for stall material, and locking for some of the marinas. I don’t know how the marinas use them, but it’s for winter boat storage. They pull them out of the water and they’ll set them down, and they use these blocks to pull them up, and I cut a lot of them. “It’s (clientele) quite diverse. The better quality logs, and the better species, like the better walnut, oak, maple, cherry, I dry. I have two operating dry kilns now, and I sell that for furniture,” Magsig continued. “The things I have gotten three or five times per year for the last few years, people are going to have a wedding and they want these round pieces of wood for center pieces, and I had a couple people request that, and then I had a couple more request that, and now I have another job that I have to get done this week for a wedding. That one I didn’t see coming, but if I can fill a need, I’ll do the best I can to try and do it.” Magsig says he often gets requests from customers who want an older look for mantle pieces or barn beams. He even gets larger orders from people who are repurposing barns or turning barns into homes. Some customers want to keep the bark on the wood for a vintage or timber frame look, but he says the wood has to be fresh before that can be done. “I can do that. It would have to be a new log,” Magsig said. “Anything that would have laid for awhile, the bark wouldn’t stick, but the wood will probably be fine. The bark won’t hang on, though.” The rough pioneer-looking live-edge cut is also in demand. “This (pointing to live-edge cut boards) is going to go to Houston, Texas. It’s called live-edge because it’s not cleaned on four sides. This individual grew up in the Elmore area and now he lives in Houston, and he came back to visit, and he wanted to find some wood. He makes tables and he saw these and said he’s got to have them. He was traveling and visiting friends, and is going to come back on Wednesday, load them on his truck, and take them back to Houston, Texas.” The live edge boards are often cut to fit together like puzzle pieces to make a table or other furniture. To be done right, a live edge cut takes a special skill — one that Magsig doesn’t want to give away the entire secret to just anyone, but he’ll give a basic explanation. “I make a cut, and I turn the log and make another cut, and then I turn it a third time so it’s flat on two sides, and then I just slice it up so the fourth side is just rough,” Magsig said. He has a fresh supply of forestry, too, because 100 acres of his family’s 160 acres on one side of County Road 56 is wooded. But, he is always willing to buy logs from around the area — about a 20 mile radius or so. If someone has logs or trees that have been cut, they can contact him. “Just a few weeks ago, a gentleman on the other side of Woodville was clearing a lot to build a house, and I got several truckloads of logs from him,” Magsig said. Magsig also has taken initiative, like turning a wood shed into a drying shed by replacing the roof with greenhouse glass. “I saw an article in Mother Earth newsmagazine years ago, in about 2000 or so. It’s plastic or vinyl, and it’s supposed to be clear, but I probably ought to replace that,” Magsig said. “It still lets the sunlight in and heats it. My dad would air dry stuff for years and then would call it dry, but it’s a slow process. I could speed it up, so that’s what I decided to do.”

Gibsonburg ironworker a bareback Bronco rider by night Do you enjoy a Western movie or rodeo? Do you think it would be neat to actually be a cowboy? Gibsonburg resident Cullin Liskai is an ironworker by day and a cowboy at night. The recent Woodmore High School and Penta Career Center graduate rides bucking horses bareback at local rodeos. At this year’s Ottawa County Fair, he got a giant shot of adrenalin when he was thrown from a bucking horse and then dragged for a distance around the ring. He suffered a dislocated elbow along with multiple cuts and bruises and was trampled on. What happened, Liskai explained, was that the bareback rigging wasn’t tight enough when he started his ride. As the horse began to buck the rigging got looser and when the horse turned to the right Liskai was thrown to the left and fell off of the horse with his hand still locked in the rigging. Bareback rigging is designed for either right or left handed riders, he explained, and your hand fits in it very tight. Usually, if you are bucked off, you can pull your hand out, “if you fall off the correct side of the horse,” Liskai said. Right-handed riders must fall off on the right and left-handed on the left. If you fall off on the opposite side the rigging actually gets tighter around your hand and you may not be able to remove it, which is what happened to Liskai. It was a bit disconcerting to see the rider being dragged and the horse stepping on him. Fortunately, the horse did not try to kick him or mash him against the metal fence. Liskai rode bulls for two years but then changed when a bull stepped on him, mid-body, and he was severely injured. He switched to the horses, reasoning — since they are bigger, if your hand gets stuck in the rigging a horse might still step on you but it would most likely only be on your feet or lower legs. Liskai is licensed by the Mid-States Rodeo Association (MSRA) and rides in the surrounding states. Typical purses are $500 to $1,000. He rides as much as four to five times per week, sometimes traveling hundreds of miles to neighboring states. He only expects to participate in about 70 events this year because he was sidelined for a period in May with a broken leg when a horse rammed him against a ring fence. The big-time rodeo organization is the Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association, which includes participants from the United States, Canada, Mexico and Australia. The PRCA would ultimately be Liskai, or any other rider’s goal. The PRCA typically has larger purses of $2,500 and up depending on the size of the event. The recently held Calgary Stampede in Alberta, Canada, which is held for the best of the best, had prizes of $100,000. Liskai notes that there are many underlying facts unknown to those outside of rodeo. For example, generally the horses and bulls are owned by the rodeo, however, there are some who own the animals and rent them to the rodeo. Bucking animals are judged by how difficult they are to ride and earn money accordingly. Jared Allen, a retired NFL football player, owns a company where you can become a part owner of a bull and share in its earnings. Stallions are not used as bucking horses because they are too interested in the mares and are hard to control. Bucking horses are either geldings or mares. The

horses are usually quarter horses or a cross between quarter horses and draft horses. By breeding with draft horses the horse has a broader back and more leg and shoulder muscles for bucking. An interesting fact that surprised me is that Amish boys are frequent rodeo participants, as are Australians. While both the horses and the bulls are trained to buck they are also helped with the use of a flank strap which irritates the skin just in front of the hind quarters. This area is where wild predators frequently bite them when they attack. The rodeo animals

In My Opinion

by Harold Hamilton instinctively know this and are very sensitive to any disturbance in this area and will buck to try to get rid of it. If you ever watch a rodeo, notice that after the rider completes his ride or is thrown the cowboys in the ring immediately release this strap and

the animal stops bucking. So if you like sports and want an adrenaline rush you might try getting your rodeo license and see if you can hang-on for an exciting eight seconds. Remember, however, in this sport, your ride might stomp, bite, kick, or even mash you.

Toledo coach says Oregon libero always gives 100% By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com University of Toledo volleyball coach Greg Smith liked just about everything he saw when he recruited Oregon resident and former St. Ursula Academy standout Maurissa Leonard. “We knew she had potential to be a very good player for us,” said Smith, in his ninth year with the Rockets. “We knew she was a strong competitor, she had a strong work ethic, and she would be a great fit for the program.” The 5-foot-4 Leonard is a defensive specialist/libero at UT. She is the second player from St. Ursula Academy – joining Madison Strall – to play for Smith. Leonard, in fact, said she will be a bridesmaid at Strall’s wedding next spring. Leonard was a three-time All-Ohio selection at St. Ursula and had immediate success contributing at UT. As a freshman she appeared in all 29 matches and tied for the team lead for most sets played (113). She earned Mid-American Conference West Division Defensive Player of the Week honors twice that year, and she recorded the third-most digs in school history (507). “She stepped right in and was a leader from the beginning,” Smith said. “She set the tone for who she was going to be as player. You never know how a player is going to produce, but we knew she was going to be good for our program.” Last season, the Rockets finished 16-14 and 8-8 in the MAC and Leonard was an honorable mention All-MAC selection. She was a MAC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete and earned a spot on the Academic All-MAC team. Leonard ranked fourth in the MAC with her team-high 4.78 digs per set, a mark that is second in school history. She also set a school record with 569 digs. “She never takes a play off,” Smith said. “She is unique in that aspect. She’s mentally strong and she fights to figure things out. She doesn’t let failure determine how she plays. She’s going to figure it out and compete even harder, so the next time she touches the ball she does it right.” Leonard, 20, grew up in East Toledo and attended Sacred Heart grade school through the fifth grade. She then went to Fassett Junior High and on to St. Ursula before deciding to play at UT. She lived on campus as a freshman and admitted that adjusting to college took some time. “The major difference was getting used to my new time schedule,” Leonard said. “The (volleyball) practices are obviously more intense. You practice and work out on the same day. We didn’t do that stuff in high school. That was definitely an adjustment. My first semester here, we would lift at 6:30 a.m. and practice at two in the afternoon. That was definitely an adjustment. We had eight freshmen and we were all pretty tight, and we helped each other out.” Leonard said one reason she chose Toledo was because of its nursing program. The fact that the university is only a 20-minute drive from home didn’t hurt. “I wanted to stay closer to home,” she said. “I really liked what they had to offer, and the nursing program is well known here. I like it here. I love the coaches and my teammates.” Leonard played basketball and volleyball her freshman and sophomore year at St. Ursula, but she eventually gave up on basketball. “Volleyball was what I loved,” Leonard said, “and I knew that was what I was supposed to be doing.” The Rockets report for three weeks of summer practice beginning Aug. 7. They open the season with a 5 p.m. home exhibition match on August 18 against Oakland University at Savage Arena. “We usually set goals to try to win the MAC regu-

lar season (title) and qualify for the tournament,” said Leonard, who coaches at the Toledo Volleyball Club during the summer. “Last year we lost in the second round of the tournament. If we could win that tournament, that would be great. We talk a lot about getting better and playing like a champion every day in practice.” Leonard has taken two years of prerequisite courses and will find out if she has been accepted into UT’s nursing program in September. If she is accepted, she said she will begin her nursing courses next spring. In the meantime, Leonard is having a blast playing volleyball and building lifelong friendships. “All of the girls I’ve played with the last two years, I’m still close to them,” Leonard said. “I have some friends from high school, but these will be my friends forever. We get each other through workouts and practices. I don’t know what I’d do without them.” Smith added, “Maurissa is very disciplined and very mature for her age. She is a good person to be around, to have as part of our program and continue to develop the culture for our program. She is the right person at the right time for UT volleyball and we’re very fortunate to have her.” Maurissa is the daughter of Kim and Mike Leonard.

Herm Edwards brings passion, enthusiasm to cause By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com As a football coach, Herm Edwards was known for his passion and enthusiasm. As a broadcaster, he’s brought more of the same to his role as an NFL analyst working for ESPN. To no one’s surprise, he brought those characteristics with him to Parker’s Purpose, where he was the keynote speaker during the primary fundraiser for a Northwest Ohio charity. With Parker’s Purpose, the money goes to the families who have a child battling a serious illness. The fundraising banquet was held at Ole’ Zim’s just outside Gibsonburg. Oddly enough, Edwards heard about the charity from last year’s speaker, Merril Hoge, who happens to be his colleague at ESPN. Edwards had a successful career in the NFL, playing for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1977-85 and helping the team get to Super Bowl XV before finishing off his career with brief stints in Atlanta and with the Los Angeles Rams. As a coach, Edwards led the New York Jets and the Kansas City Chiefs to the playoffs four times. Edwards is most famous for his iconic “You Play to Win the Game” speech when he was coaching the Jets, and for scoring the touchdown in the infamous Miracle at the Meadowlands game in 1978. At Ole’ Zims, the first thing Edwards did was credit the community for supporting a worthy cause while touching upon his personal story. “A good friend of mine, Merril Hoge, told me about this community. I’m here for a lot of reasons, and one is to thank this community for what you’ve done. Community service and how we serve others is very important. To change people’s lives and to make a difference is important. God has touched this community. Trust me,” Edwards told the crowd at Ole Zim’s Wagon Shed in Gibsonburg. It’s never really about what we receive. It’s about what we give.” One of the things that makes Parker’s Purpose such a special organization is that it has such low overhead. It is not a charity with any high-paid executives. For example, the president of the organization, Todd Drusback, works as a teacher and football coach and simply donates his time to the cause. The only problem is that so many families are in need of support and their demands can’t always be met. “I thought the evening was great. Herm was great. I’ve always admired him and what he stood for. He was probably the most prepped speaker we’ve had. Herm was fantastic and Mrs. Davis was great in telling the story about her daughter’s rare

(Photo courtesy Todd Drusback) disorder,” said Drusback, referencing a local family that has received support from Parker’s Purpose. “There were a lot of new faces, too. Not that you don’t want to see the old faces, but it was nice to see the new faces. Hopefully we can branch out and get more backing. About half (of the crowd) was new faces and these people got to see who we help. When we were first getting started, we were just trying to get our name out there. Now we get so many applications each month. We can’t help everyone. More people knowing about us allows us to get more money and help more families.” To date, Parker’s Purpose has raised over $250,000, helping hundreds of families pay for their children’s medical bills. And that’s not counting the money that was brought in with this year’s event. The organization was created in 2008 by Fremont resident Parker Inks, 18, a recent graduate of Fremont St. Joseph Central Catholic High School who will be

attending Bowling Green State University this fall. Nine years ago, Inks, who suffers from muscular dystrophy and is confined to a wheelchair, was experiencing respiratory problems and was hospitalized for 30 days while battling the illness, and nearly lost his life. Fortunately, he was later discharged from the hospital and, amidst his struggle, the community donated money to help pay for his medical bills. After his medical expenses were paid for, Inks, who was just 8 at the time, decided to take the extra money and create this organization. “It could’ve been a tragedy. Now he’s flourishing, he’s doing really well. He’s very involved with the foundation. He does some talks here and there for Parker’s Purpose. I think he is going to be involved with Easter’s Seals or the Children’s Miracle Network in Bowling Green,” said

QBs Besgrove, Grodi seeking to take the next step

Some of the guys we’re going up against in practice are some of the best in Ohio.

Zach Grodi

“When I first got there, I was shellshocked,” he said. “I didn’t expect everybody to be this good. It was eye-opening. At the end of (spring) camp, I started to settle in and I figured out this is what you have to do and this is how to act.”

been “pretty good.” “We just got a new offensive coordinator we’re really excited about,” he said. “The one who left was a good coach. The atmosphere at Bluffton is really nice and there’s nothing there to do to get you in trouble. It’s a small town, just like an Oregon or Genoa. There is one movie theater and that’s about it. It helps you focus on what you’re supposed to be doing.” Grodi said he always dreamed of playing college football. He said a friend was playing at Defiance College, one of Bluffton’s main rivals, and he got to attend the Beavers’ last game of the season, against the rival Yellow Jackets. “Bluffton was up-and-coming,” Grodi said, “and I thought it was the best opportunity for me to keep playing football and have a good academic career. Originally I

Zach Grodi Grodi played three years of junior varsity football at Genoa, waiting his turn until the two starting quarterbacks ahead of him finished their careers. Grodi is still playing the waiting game at Bluffton, but he’s making the most of it. Grodi (5-8, 165), a physics and chemistry major, said he is the first person in his family to attend college. He plans to go to graduate school and be “some kind of engineer” after graduation. Football-wise, Grodi said his experience at Bluffton has

wanted to play baseball in college and I was looking at a couple schools. I almost committed to Defiance my senior year. Then I looked around at who might want me for football and I looked at Bluffton. It was a perfect match.” Like Besgrove, Grodi said he can only make the best of whatever opportunities present themselves this season. Dorrel said the team, which could reach up to 120 players, returns six starters on offense and six on defense this season. The players report to their first practice on Aug. 12. “I’m hoping to do whatever I can to get on the field,” Grodi said. “Some of the guys we’re going up against in practice are some of the best in Ohio. The senior class is going to take up most of the (playing) time. I might get some mop-up duty unless there is an injury, which I hope doesn’t happen.” Dorrel called Besgrove and Grodi “super kids and great teammates.” “Trenton and Zach are both great kids and hard workers,” Dorrel said. “We have a new offensive coordinator this year and they adapted well during spring ball. We hope they made big improvements from year one to year two.” The Beavers open the season Sept. 2 at The College of Wooster. Besgrove and Grodi are joined at Bluffton by sophomore slot receiver Adam Duncan (Lake), who also plays baseball for the Beavers.

The

Cardinal Stritch graduate Trenton Besgrove and Genoa graduate Zach Grodi are looking to take the next step as sophomore quarterbacks on the Bluffton University football team Besgrove, who played quarterback and safety at Stritch, said he’s always wanted to be a college coach. The sports management major said his goal is to play football for four years at Bluffton and then, for starters, become a graduate assistant with the program. The Beavers return junior Colby Speice, a backup last season, at quarterback so Besgrove (5-10, 170) said the odds of him getting to play this season are slim. “My goal,” he said, “is to be the second-string quarterback.” Besgrove, who also played basketball at Stritch, said he received recruiting letters from D-III basketball coaches when he was in high school. He always wanted to play college basketball, but he kept his options open and was determined to pick a school as early as possible during his senior year. “My dad (Jason) played college football at Defiance, so I wanted to play football, too,” Besgrove said. “Coach Dorrel emailed me something the second or third week of January (2016), wanting me to take a visit, and he sent me a (school) link. It was the middle of February and I took two visits to Bluffton and I liked it.” Besgrove said his college football experience feels “more like a business than it did in high school.” He said he quickly realized, however, that the Beavers’ No. 1 priority was winning. “In high school sports everyone, in my opinion, is worried about themselves,” Besgrove said. “Everyone here just wants to win. The players care if they play, but that’s not the end goal. They care about winning more than anything. I thought everyone would think, ‘I want to play or I’ll transfer,’ but it’s not like that.” Besgrove added that the talent at the D-III level is no joke.

Waite girls tennis players seek to keep momentum going By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Ted Morse remembers it well. Four years ago, Morse was named Waite’s girls tennis coach and he had five players come out for the team. Fast forward to the summer of 2017 and Morse now coaches double that number of girls, and the Indians are coming off the school’s first-ever Toledo City League tennis championship. Waite finished 14-5 last season and rolled through the CL with a 10-0 record. Morse was named the USTA Northwest Ohio High School Coach of the Year. “I’ve loved my time at Waite and we’ve done good things,” Morse said. “My goal is to win all five (singles and doubles) spots in the City and get at least one out of sectionals. I told the girls, expect to win. I’m not here just to roll out the tennis balls. We’ll have fun but we’re going to work hard and expect good things every time we’re on the court. Our motto is, ‘How do you spell fun? W-I-N.’ We want to get better every time on the court.” The Indians, who return five letter winners, will have to make up for the graduation of Kiara Prater and Vanessa Skouroukos, a four-time league singles champion. Skouroukos and Prater combined to go 30-0 against CL opponents last fall. “I can’t replace a (player like) Vanessa,” Morse said. “I have to put people in different spots to win our dual matches. I hope to make our doubles teams strong. Second and third singles, it’s going to take some time but it’s going to be a fun year. We’re going to have to rely on our doubles teams and our No. 1 singles. Second and third singles are a work in progress.” Senior Onicia Briones will get the chance to represent the Indians at first singles. “I think she has the ability to play Division II or Division III tennis next year,” Morse said. “She’s a good player. She transferred to Waite last year and has been a very big help. She can hit the ball hard and she’s a solid athlete. She’s as smart as they come

and she’s a gym rat. She wants to be out there and get better.” Morse said the other two singles positions could be filled by seniors Elizabeth Gotay and Lizzy Peters, sophomore Ahahi Molina or freshman Jassalynn Friend. The Indians’ No. 1 doubles team consists of seniors Merilda Harris and Alex Hernandez, who have played doubles together since they were freshmen. They were league runners-up the past two years.

“They have some unfinished business this year,” Morse said. “They like each other and they’ve been together since they were freshmen. One is a lefty (Harris) and one is a righty, and they are very consistent.” The No. 2 doubles team consists of junior Cassie Vogelpohl and freshman Alyassa Kurek. “Alyassa has come out of nowhere and I think she’s going to be a key for us this year,” Morse said. “Alyassa is a gym rat and she

chases down every ball, and her strokes are getting better every time I work with her.” Morse said Waite has a good shot to repeat at CL champions this season. He said Scott will likely pose the biggest threat to the Indians’ title hopes. “Scott has a good team,” Morse said, “and Start is really well coached. The job for me is to get us better every time we’re on the court and get consistency with repetition. I like where my team is right now.”

With help from family, Sievert 8th at Jr. Olympics For someone who advanced as far as the state cross country meet, no one should be surprised that Hope Sievert has placed at the national level, too. Sievert, who is set to begin her sophomore year running for Oak Harbor, finished eighth in the 800 meters in 2:23.63 at the National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships in Lawrence, Kansas. It finished off an incredible 12-month run that saw her earn All-Ohio status as just a freshman after finishing 69th (19:52.08) in the Division II state cross country meet. In the spring, she helped the Rocket track team to its eighth consecutive Sandusky Bay Conference title, and now, she’s reached the podium at the Junior Olympics to become a Jr. Olympic All-American. In Kansas, Sievert’s time in the preliminary race — 2:18.56 — was good enough to finish fourth and earn her a spot in the finals. That time should be enough for her to qualify for the state meet in Division II again this year. To qualify for the nationals, Sievert, who has been competing in the Jr. Olympics since she was 8, had to pass a test at both the state meet, which was held in Cedarville, located just outside of Dayton, and again at the regional meet, which included competitors from Ohio and four other states. It’s been a team effort as Sievert’s brother, Tyler, also a standout athlete during his time running for the Rockets, and Trevor, her other brother, have joined with the Sievert parents to support Hope as she trains and competes. Tyler, who is currently on the cross country and track teams at Ashland University, takes pride in what his younger sister has accomplished. “I think it’s her ability to push past her limits during training. This summer, I’ve seen a lot of growth from her as far as pushing herself through some really tough workouts. I gave her some different training from what she did in high school that focused more on strength (V02, lactate threshold training) rather than speed,” Tyler said. “They are long, methodical and very difficult workouts, like 5x800s with a twominute rest,” continued Tyler, who lettered in four sports while in high school. “The workouts really stress the aerobic system and she did a great job of staying focused

throughout each session and getting the full benefit by hitting the assigned pace and not going way too fast or too slow.” A typical week for Hope includes a regimen of two hard days, two recovery days where Sievert cross trains and bikes, one long day that has her run about six miles, and two normal days. The attention to detail and commitment to the regimen has taken Sievert to new heights at a young age. “I think just having trust in the training and working out hard has made the difference,” Hope said. “There has been a definite change in my diet and I’m getting more focused and understand the big picture. The family has helped me a lot. Tyler was my coach this summer. Trevor and my mom and dad have been very supportive. They come to all of the meets. If Tyler is busy, they will train me and ride the bike alongside me. “I want to turn my childhood hobby into a career one day. I would love to continue to run at a great collegiate program, and then, if I continue to improve, make it to the pros one day. I’m taking it one day at a time. I want to keep improving and be competitive at the state meet this year and help my team be a contender for conference, district and regional championships. I am grateful for the gifts God has blessed me with and I want to use my talents to the fullest of my ability.” The trek to Kansas took 12 hours, one that was worth it for Sievert. She was seeded 33rd coming into the competition and exceeded even her own expectations to reach the podium. “We saw that I had a chance because the top eight times were times that I had been training at,” said Hope, “and I was confident that I could make those times with the right mindset.” Tyler, meanwhile, just finished off his sophomore season at Ashland and helped lead the track team to a Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship and a third place finish at the NCAA Division II meet. The Eagles, which were ranked No. 1 in the country for part of the season, got steady contributions throughout the season from Tyler as well as Eastwood alum Devin Snowden. Tyler, who finished seventh in Ohio in the 1,600 during his senior season at Oak Harbor, had a strong year running the 800, finishing fourth in the GLIAC meet on the indoor circuit and ninth during the outdoor competition.
