St. Kateri fields a go

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council, following a public hearing, approved a Special Use Exception (SUE) for 15 acres of land owned by the St. Kateri Catholic Academy and Cardinal Stritch High School, which plans to develop athletic fields at 1055 South Coy and 3521 Pickle roads.

The Oregon Planning Commission previously recommended approval for the SUE at its February meeting.

Last September, St. Kateri removed nearly 2,000 trees on the property, an area bounded by Coy, Pickle, Schmidlin and Worden roads, in preparation for the project. Many residents who live nearby have been opposed, mainly out of concern that the athletic fields will create noise, additional traffic and safety problems in the

area.

The Planning Commission met three times to discuss the matter. Originally, Kateri sought a zoning change from R-2 Single Family Residential to P-Park Land Zoning. But the request was changed to an SUE so that certain conditions could be placed on the property to address residents’ concerns. Park Land zoning would not have allowed such conditions.

Kateri has agreed to some of the conditions, such as positioning a service road in the center of the property with a 20foot buffer on each side; no illumination of playing fields; a locked gate at the main entrance; and hours of operation daily from dawn to dusk, according to Zoning

Kateri will also be able to enter the property through Coy Road. Consequently, Kateri does not object to the city vacating paper streets of Worden and Schmidlin Roads, then selling the property to interested neighbors. Proceeds from the sale would go toward additional drainage and landscaping for the neighbors.

James Brown, of S. Berlin, spoke in opposition. He expressed concerns about drainage due to standing water, as well as noise from the planned athletic fields.

“There’s going to be a lot of racket out there,” he said.

More drainage Seferian said schools in the city do not have to apply for zoning changes to build or conduct any business. St. Kateri could go ahead with its plans without an SUE, but preferred to address neighbors’ concerns.

“There will be more drainage in there than just the parking lot. We will work with them to see that it is adequately addressed,” said Seferian. “Not only will they drain their property, but will offer assistance to drain the neighbors’ surrounding properties also. I know there has been some tension between some of the neighbors and Cardinal Stritch’s organization and we hope to see that come to an end.”

Council President Dennis Walendzak agreed.

“Your concerns are the same concerns many of us have, and the residents around that property have,” Walendzak said to Brown. “We will do our best to work with Cardinal Stritch to alleviate as much as we can the concerns that the residents have. I know drainage is a big issue on that property, and I believe the city will work with Cardinal Stritch to improve drainage at that location not only to help Cardinal Stritch in the use of their potential ball fields, but also for the neighboring properties so they don’t have water sitting at the back of their properties.”

Tree buffer Councilwoman Sandy Bihn asked if St. Kateri would install trees as a buffer along the border with neighbors to help filter out the noise.

“Why couldn’t there be a tree buffer around the perimeter, which would be respectful of the adjoining property owners, who are concerned about their property values, their peace of mind? If I were there, I would want trees.”

Seferian said there would be a buffer requirement for the driveway going into the property, but not along the border.

“They said if they get donations, they may do something like that. We have no ability to put in a condition for the trees.

We could put it in, but they just don’t have to do it,” he said.

Bihn said St. Kateri approved the other conditions. “Why Continued on page 4

Curfew fight not over

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Although Oregon City Council last month voted 5-2 against a curfew for minors, proponents have not yet given up on the matter.

Members of Oregon block watches, who sought the curfew, want to get a referendum on the November ballot so voters can decide the issue.

The group is planning on circulating petitions to be submitted to the Lucas County Board of Elections by Aug. 10 in or-

der for the referendum to be placed on the November ballot. The petitions must have at least 2,067 signatures of registered voters in Oregon. The requirement is based on the number of residents who voted for governor in the 2014 election.

The block watch is “currently working on getting a committed team that is willing to get the needed signatures,” said Lori Render, a member of block watch.

“We’d like to recruit at least 10 volunteers from our area,” said Render.

Members of the group met with city officials twice in the past to advocate the Continued on page 2

chief to allow minors to stay out at a later hour.

Any parent, guardian or other adult having the legal care and custody of minors violating the curfew will be fined $150 for each offense.

A curfew has the support of Oregon’s police unions. “Both the Oregon F.O.P. Command Officer’s Union and the Oregon Police Patrolman’s Association are in favor of a juvenile curfew for the City of Oregon,� states a letter signed by Ken Reno, president of the F.O.P. Command Officer’s Union, and Mike O’Connor, president of the Oregon Police Patrolman’s Association. “We believe that this would be an effective tool for officers in dealing with delinquent juveniles. It is our belief that passage of this type of legislation would result in a reduction in property crimes, specifically theft and criminal damaging offenses.�

In 2012, there were 182 juvenile arrests in Oregon. That number dipped to 126 in 2013, then rose to 171 in 2014.

Surrounding communities that have a curfew for minors include Northwood, Toledo, Genoa, Pemberville, Walbridge, Rossford, Port Clinton and Sandusky.

At the March 21 council meeting, council members Sandy Bihn and Kathy Pollauf voted in favor of the curfew, while Steve Hornyak, James Seaman, Dennis Walendzak, Tim Zale, and Terry Reeves voted against it.

Walendzak said his constituents were opposed to a curfew. “Not everyone in this community wants a curfew,� he said. “Legislative parenting is a challenging subject for any city to try and take on,� said Hornyak. “I don’t know that a curfew would curtail that behavior by those individuals. I’m not sure it would make a difference.�

The local crime report, he added, does not support the need for a juvenile curfew. “I’ve talked to people who have enacted [curfews], which typically have been enacted in larger cities because of gang issues. I don’t see a rampant crime spree.� “I don’t think this issue goes away with [council’s] vote,� said Bihn. “It will still be around and will still be an issue.�

need for the curfew. They hope it will deter juvenile delinquency, including loitering, ransacking vehicles, theft, fighting, vandalism, trespassing, littering, congregating on street corners, parks and yards, egging vehicles and houses, and toilet papering. “You have the normal `kid’ things like egging and toilet papering, but it always seems to escalate,� said Render.

Areas that are having issues with juveniles, according to a presentation that block watch members made to Oregon’s Public Safety Committee, include neighborhoods off Starr, Navarre, Woodville, Wheeling, Pickle and Coy. After discussing the matter at two Public Safety Committee meetings, block watch members asked that the proposed curfew go before council for a vote. Many supporters were at the March 21 council meeting when council voted against it. “My thought is, put it on the ballot,� said Tracy Spangler, a member of block watch. “If Oregon residents want it, they’ll vote for it. If they don’t want it, they won’t vote for it.�

The language in the proposed curfew that was defeated by council was written

by Police Chief Mike Navarre, who has taken a neutral stance on the issue, and Law Director Melissa Purpura. It stated: “No minor shall remain idle, wander, stroll or play in any public place either on foot or by vehicle without a set destination‌in the city between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m., Sunday through Saturday unless accompanied by a parent, guardian, custodian, or other person having the legal care and custody of the minor, or unless the minor is in the performance of an errand or duty directed by a parent, guardian, custodian or other person having the legal care and custody of the minor, or unless the minor’s employment or other legitimate activities make it necessary to be on the streets or public places during the night after the specified hours.â€?

Nero with his handler. (Submitted photo)

Dog undergoing cancer treatments Nero, the Belgian Malinois canine of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department, has been undergoing a clinical trial program at The Ohio State University to treat lymphoma, Sheriff Stephen Levorchick said last week.

The initial diagnosis was made at the Oak Harbor Veterinary Hospital by Dr. Michael Stone.

Since then, the 6-year-old Nero has been receiving treatment at the university’s Veterinary Medical Center and has been undergoing testing to determine the type of lymphoma and what future treatments are warranted.

Sheriff Levorchick said treatments were started before a complete diagnosis to

not delay any benefits.

The sheriff described the treatments as “experimental drugs� that are “advanced beyond normal chemo-therapy that would normally be used.�

Testing, evaluations and treatment are free of charge, the sheriff said.

Nero has been with the department for four years and is partnered with Deputy Marc Nye. The sheriff called Nero “an instrumental part of patrol duties within Ottawa County� and said Deputy Nye and Nero continue to work their normal shift except for one day a week when they go to Columbus for the dog’s treatments.

Bond to fund new school

B-C-S board plans for August ballot issue

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com After hearing a recommendation from a planning committee of community members, the Benton-Carroll-Salem school board will proceed with seeking voter approval of a bond issue on the August ballot to construct a new school building for kindergarten through the seventh grade.

Board members are scheduled to meet April 5 for a work session to further discuss the project.

The committee’s recommendation also calls for renovating the high school building and taking the R.C. Waters Elementary School and Oak Harbor Middle School out of service and demolishing them.

If constructed, the new school building would have capacity for 942 students and be located on or near the high school campus.

“It’s a process that had to take place.

The group did a great job,” Steve Rhodes, board vice president, said of the planning committee’s work the past four months, which included examining several options of constructing new buildings and renovating existing structures.

Superintendent Guy Parmigian said the estimated cost for constructing the building and renovations to the high school is about $43 million. For the owner of a home with a market value of $100,000, property taxes would increase by $11-$15 per month, according to figures compiled by the committee and board.

“This was really a decision of the com-

mittee,” he said. “The board gave the keys to the committee and let them drive this issue. The committee first started meeting in December of 2015 and studied all the options and discussed the financial aspects as well as the educational impacts of it all.

They talked about the future and how the district would be affected if Davis-Besse would close. One of the committee members said this is part of the plan and we need to invest right now for the future.”

Although the district qualifies for funding from the Ohio School Facilities Commission equal to about 7 percent of the building project cost, the board will not seek state funding because it comes with strings attached.

“It would be more costly to take the 7 percent because we’d have to follow their design manual, which is pretty extensive,” Parmigian said. “This way we can design it exactly how we think it should be.”

The board has approved an agreement to purchase a 12.5-acre parcel west of the

high school. Several options for the site are being considered, including locating the new school there, constructing ball fields or leave it as farm fields, Parmigian said.

The costs of demolishing the middle and elementary schools are included in the projected price tag for constructing the new building but the board may consider offers to sell them, he added.

“We want to be good neighbors and don’t want to leave a vacant building up in the middle of Oak Harbor. If we can find another use and sell to someone I think the board would be open to doing that. Some of the committee members said we need to do something to honor the past and remember the middle school building, which used to be the high school, and elementary building in the design of the new building.

That’s something that is important to us,” Parmigian said.

If the bond issue passes, the board will then seek requests for proposals from architectural firms to prepare a building design.

St. Kateri fields a go Continued from front page

“

We’re trying to do things with appeal rather than demand.

We will continue to do that.

“

wouldn’t they want to add this?”

Seferian said St. Kateri would not want to add the tree buffer if there are not enough funds to do it.

“They agreed to do the other things, but did not agree to put the trees in because they didn’t want to put something in writing and then not be able to do it,” said Seferian. “They felt they had no problem achieving the other conditions.”

Bihn said the city has a tree commission that is often looking for places to plant trees.

“If I were over there, I would want that.

And I would want the city to be pushing for it. I think we as a council have a responsibility to try and foster that,” said Bihn.

“We did address that with the tree commission,” said Seferian. “Also, if some of the paper streets are purchased, we plan as a city to put that money back into that neighborhood with additional drainage and landscaping. We’re trying to do things with appeal rather than demand. We will continue to do that. We have a very good relationship with Kateri. We’ll try to get as good a situation as we can achieve there.”

Bihn said she still believed buffering around the perimeter of the property should be included among the conditions.

“We want to have strong neighborhoods and strong relationships,” she said.

She asked for a motion for an amendment to include buffering among the conditions, but the motion failed due to a lack of votes.

Council unanimously voted in favor of the SUE. The late George Tschann in 2011 donated the land to St. Kateri. The property had been lined with 2,000 trees, mostly gum, oak and maple, all planted by Tschann.

St. Kateri began clearing trees last summer from the property with the ultimate goal of constructing baseball and softball diamonds, and practice fields. It was part of its master plan, which was shared with the community in a letter to homeowners whose property borders the land. The letter also addressed the schools’ plans to survey and landscape the property, as well as removing the trees.

“A big part of our mission is to provide opportunities for the appreciation and study of nature, especially for kids, and I call today a big success in those terms,” said Veronica Sheets, events coordinator at Schedel.

Staff at the gardens hid 1,500 eggs around the 17-acre gardens estate, and children were divided into appropriate age groups and sent off, encouraged by the Easter Bunny (Zach Avers, of Elmore).

“We had no idea we would have this kind of turn out and ran a little short on eggs. But, I think everyone had a great time and the kids got a chance to spend time

outdoors and experience our little paradise” Sheets said.

Participants also enjoyed an Easter egg cookie-decorating station, with cookies provided by I Scream on Your Left, of Elmore; and a storytime with Amy Laity, director of the Harris-Elmore Library. There was also an area to color an Easter Egg print to take home or to display at the Elmore Post Office. Pills N’ Packages donated candy for the event.

Schedel Arboretum & Gardens opens April 1 for the season, which runs through October.

Wood Co. to review new land-use plan

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com After receiving public input on a new land-use plan for Wood County, a steering committee is scheduled to meet April 6 to discuss how to proceed with all the data that has been accumulated.

“We’re in the working phase now.

That’s the best way to describe it,” said Dave Steiner, director of the Wood County Planning Commission.

The commission sponsored a forum in February to offer the public a chance to voice its opinion on future growth and development. The county’s current plan was adopted in 2007.

Members of the steering committee include Steiner and officials from the county’s economic development office, soil and water conservation service, committee on aging, park district, emergency management agency and others.

A Cincinnati planning firm, McBride, Dale & Clarion, has been retained by the commission as consultant for the project.

The proposed plan would cover unincorporated areas of the county where Steiner said earlier he’s noticing an upswing in residential development – particularly in Perrysburg and Middleton townships in the northwest part of the county.

“The firm has generated a lot of demographic data as far as land-use trends and population trends. So we’ll discuss that as well as the results of the public hearing,” Steiner said.

Fees to be discussed During the commission’s regular monthly meeting on April 5, Steiner will present a draft list of fees charged by planning commissions in other counties.

“We currently don’t charge for anything here at the county level,” he said.

“Subdivision reviews, parcel splits, addresses, flood plain development permits; we don’t charge for any of that. Other counties around us do, so I’m going to get an idea of who charges what and then take it to the commission and let them mull it over and decide what if anything they want to do.”

In other business, the commission will hear a request to rezone a parcel in Lake Township from B-1 neighborhood business to an A-1 agricultural zoning classification.

The 5.6-acre parcel is located along Tracy Road just south of the Ohio Turnpike.

The request was submitted by Kenneth Reitz, who plans to construct a single-family home on the property.

The plan commission staff is recommending the request be approved but the township will make the final decision.

Women’s Connection

All area women are invited to attend the “All Tied Up” luncheon and program sponsored by the Toledo East Women’s Connection Thursday, April 14 at the Bayside Boardwalk, 2759 Seaman St., Oregon.

Doors open at 11:30 a.m. Bess Stetler, from Goshen, Indiana, will demonstrate “Fun With Scarves” and will also discuss, “A Whirlwind Life that Leads to the Conclusion that There’s No Place Like Home.” Kristen Vick, from Walbridge, will provide special music.

Admission is $11.50 for the lunch and program. For reservations, call Dorothy at 419-691-9611 or Marilyn at 419-666-1633.

Oregon schools negotiating teachers’ contract

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Oregon City Schools District is currently negotiating contracts for the Oregon City Federation of Teachers and the Ohio Association of Public School Employees.

The current contracts expire July 31, according to Superintendent Hal Gregory.

An initial meeting with the union representatives started in March, said Gregory.

There have been no offers or tentative agreements as of last week.

Negotiations traditionally focus on three core areas, including salaries and compensation, insurance benefits and working conditions, said Gregory.

“I’m sure we’ll explore all three of those areas,” he said.

The Oregon City Federation of Teachers represents the district’s 260 teachers. OAPSE represents all non-teacher positions, such as secretaries, maintenance, bus drivers, and school monitors.

Teachers did not receive raises in their base salaries in their current contract, which was negotiated in 2014. But they continue to receive step increases. As part of their contract, teachers traditionally receive automatic salary “steps” or increases the longer they serve in the district. Step increases cost the district approximately $500,000 per year.

“They have received their steps over the course of the last several years, but those steps have not changed,” said Gregory. “There’s been no percentage increases yet. If you’re a first year teacher, with zero years of experience, at the very first step, you make a certain amount. Then you go through an evaluation, teach for a second year, then move onto another step that has a built-in increase.”

Everything’s on the table Step increases have been an established practice in teachers’ contracts, he said.

“It’s been in Oregon schools for decades and decades. I think essentially, teacher salaries historically have been low compared to other industries. Many years ago, they felt this was a way to make it more fair at the time. It’s been in place ever since. Our beginning step pay is one of the lowest in the area,” said Gregory.

The current two year contract replaced a three year contract because the treasurer could only certify there would be enough funds in the budget for two years.

“Everything is on the table. We’ll hopefully settle the contract by summer,” he said.

Nearly 80 percent of the district’s budget goes towards salaries and fringe benefits for school employees, which represents the largest expense in the budget. Thirteen percent of the budget, the second largest expense, goes towards purchasing services

for special needs kids. A provision in the current contract gave teachers who stayed in the classrooms longer a monetary bonus.

Levy money Oregon voters last November approved a 3.95-mill levy for the school district, which has been struggling financially for years.

“The district is going to be very conscious of our budget,” said Gregory. “We know that we have to be good stewards of the money that we have. The community put their trust in us when we passed the levy, and we’re going to honor that trust.

But we want to acknowledge that the staff works hard every day.”

Before voters approved the levy, Gregory and the school board pledged that the $1.9 million annual revenue would go towards maintaining salaries and programs in career tech and athletics. He reiterated that promise.

“We made it very clear that the levy money would cover the athletic department and career tech programs,” said Gregory.

School Board Member Jeff Ziviski agrees.

“We publicly stated that the levy money was to maintain the current level of services and programs in athletics and career tech. It would not include pay raises, only maintain our current level of services, which would include the current salary structure,” said Ziviski.

Registration for Camp Perry’s national matches open

By Ashley Brugnone CMP Writer celder@thecmp.org Registration for the popular and historical 2016 National Trophy Pistol and Rifle Matches began April 1 – fired at Camp Perry, six miles west of Port Clinton, during the months of July and August.

The 2016 Match Schedule will be different from the 2014-2015 National Matches – returning to the original schedule of years past. Events featured will include the John C. Garand, President’s Rifle, Hearst Doubles, Vintage Sniper, as well as a multitude of prestigious pistol events. This year also marks the 20th Anniversary of the CMP, so come help us celebrate.

New this year, the CMP will introduce its Legacy Series: an extra week highlighting an assortment of competitions that feature both vintage and modern military rifles. Each event has been named to honor the memories of important figures in marksmanship history, as well as to commemorate the spirit of past and present National Matches.

On top of competitive opportunities, a Small Arms Firing School (SAFS) will also be held for rifle and pistol enthusiasts, where participants will be instructed by some of the top military shooters in the country on firearm safety and competition technique. The SAFS courses have been a staple in the National Matches at Camp Perry since 1918.

Many other clinics and learning opportunities, taught by qualified professionals, will also be available throughout the National Matches. Whether an experienced shooter or firing a shot for the first time, those wanting to enhance their rifle or pistol abilities can register for a number of clinics conducted during the Matches.

Events are open to the public, and spectators are welcome to observe firing on the Camp Perry ranges at any time. Guests are encouraged to participate in the many exciting activities and visual attractions offered during the Match season.

Don’t forget that outside of the action

If you plan on visiting Camp Perry, please stop in at the National Matches Welcome Center for a schedule of events and additional information. (Camp Perry photo) on the firing line, Commercial Row offers a variety of items for both spectators and shooters – with a multitude of manufacturers selling used firearms, ammunition, competition gear, accessories, apparel and much more.

Top junior clubs competing The Civilian Marksmanship Program will kick off the next phase of the 2016 CMP Three-Position Air Rifle Competition with the Regional Championships held at

Camp Perry in March and April. Top junior marksmen involved in 4-H, Scouts, American Legion, club or JROTC air rifle programs will meet on the firing line to determine who will move on to the final stage of the Championships.

This year, 1,454 juniors participated in the CMP Postal Competition on the road to the National Championship in June – set at the Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center at Camp Perry.

During the Postals, participants are issued official targets to be fired upon at their home ranges and returned to CMP for scoring. Top teams and individuals of the Postal Match are invited to participate in one of three CMP Regional Championships – held at Camp Perry April 9-11.

The event is a 3x20 air rifle event, meaning competitors fire 20 record shots from three positions: prone, standing and kneeling. Visitors are welcome into the range to observe the Regional Championships at any time during the match at all locations – with free admission.

To reward the hard work of dedicated junior athletes and coaches, the CMP administers monetary donations towards teams who qualify for the Regional events, with additional funds for teams and individuals reaching the National level.

Scholarship checks for $1,000 are also available for the Top 3 highest-scoring senior athletes in both the sporter and precision classes at the National competition.

Additionally, Larry and Brenda Potterfield have donated generous MidwayUSA Foundation endowments to winning teams of the CMP Regional Championships.

The MidwayUSA Foundation is a public charity that helps communities and organizations raise funds into their MidwayUSA Foundation account to support youth shooting teams and activities.

Camp Perry officials say the Civilian Marksmanship Program is dedicated to firearm safety and marksmanship training and to the promotion of marksmanship competition for citizens of the United States. For more information about the CMP and its programs, log onto www.TheCMP.org.

California winds ground bicyclist on doorstep of Big Sur Al Thompson left Northwest Ohio on August 17 on a 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 the icon in the upper right corner.

Greetings All I’m going the wrong way. Ask any cyclist from these parts, and they will tell you that you should be heading south --not north--along the California coastline. This is something I knew, having bicycled from San Francisco down to Los Angeles 35 years ago in 1981…going in the right direction. But I pushed it to the back of my mind with the thought of dealing with it when I got here. Well I’m here, and the winds were formidable yesterday. I made the almost 50 mile ride from to San Luis Obispo to San Simeon battling 30 to 40 mph gusts that jockeyed me from one side of the road berm to the other. I actually feel a bit trapped here in San Simeon — Monterey is over a hundred miles to the north with the rugged and spectacular Big Sur coastline in between… but not much in the way of services along the way, and more wind advisories for today. And then there are the temps hovering in the low 60s and upper 50s — the wind makes it feel like the 40s. I’m taking a rest day here in San Simeon to contemplate my next move, or whether to move at all.

This is a group of young cyclists from Santa Barbara Middle School I came across on the Pacific Coast Highway who are on a three or four day bicycle ride down the coast.

Notice they are all pulling trailers like mine. Great to see young people out doing this.

One of the things I’ve enjoyed about this journey is being able to reconnect with people along the way that I haven’t seen in years. I was able to do that with fraternity brother Rod in Granada Hills who I hadn’t seen in 40 or so years. We were pledge

to Florida has been one of the best parts of my journey…with the Atlantic Ocean and its myriad bays, coves, and inlets quite often in view - and mostly favorable winds it seemed. I was hoping to recapture that feeling with my ride along the Pacific Coast, but the wind and now cooler temperatures are making it hard to appreciate the natural scenic splendor surrounding me. Although…camping at Carpenteria and El Capitan Beach State Parks provided some wonderful ocean vistas blessed by some photo op sunsets. And I’ve so enjoyed the green of coastal California compared to the browns of the desert lands. The hills and mountains that seem to always be my companions remind me of soft, undulating pillows with pillow cases of varying shades of green.

In San Luis Obispo (SLO), I took a day to volunteer with SLO Habitat For Humanity at their Restore where I met a great group of as always dedicated staff and volunteers. Close by were Warm Showers hosts Greg and Christine who provided a comfortable haven for the night. Yesterday morning Brook Martell of KSBY TV — the NBC affiliate in SLO — came out to do a very nice interview with me which aired last evening on their 6 p.m. newscast.

A shame

To the editor: I was pleasantly surprised to see a write up about our community vigil for Megan Kunich. As one of the organizers, I wanted to thank you for sharing our community’s support of her family.

It started out as a roadside floral memorial – an attempt to give her parents something else to look at as they traveled their road; an attempt to make the tire tracks less noticeable; an attempt to shine some light in the midst of the darkest time in their life.

From there. we decided to make it a public vigil, an opportunity to get her family out of their house and lavish our love and prayers on them, to show them the compassion, love, support and solidarity of the community. We lost one of our own...and we needed to support her family through it. This tragedy will follow them the rest of their lives. We wanted to give them something beautiful to remember as they look back on this time.

Stop worrying and try to control your internal weather The weather is an important part of our lives. There are endless weather reports.

The weather is a common topic of conversation. Our plans are based on what the weather will be. Many people claim their emotions are tied to the weather.

Regardless of how important the weather is, you have no control over it.

You can worry as much as you want to, but it won’t have any impact on the weather conditions. The weather is what it is and you can’t change it.

Just as you can’t control the weather, there are many circumstances which are out of your hands. Worrying about these things is pointless. It leaves you exhausted, frustrated, and even angry, without yielding any positive results. However, what happens outside of you doesn’t have to ever dictate what happens inside. You can’t control the weather outside, but you do have control over your internal weather.

Your internal weather is based on your thoughts, attitude, and outlook. You have control over what you think, what you do, and how you feel. The direction and quality of your life is your responsibility.

You have control over how you feel.

You are not a victim of other people or circumstances. You don’t have to wait passively for things to happen, you can make them happen. How you feel is not a result of what happens. What happens is based on how you feel.

Happy people are not happy because of favorable circumstances. Rather, they experience positive situations because they are happy. This relationship is the exact opposite of what many people believe.

They go through much of their life explaining to others that they don’t have much to be happy about. Although they don’t realize it, their unhappiness is a choice.

Happiness is also a choice. You can choose to have beautiful days. Here are several strategies for managing your internal weather. First you must be aware of your thoughts. Negative thoughts bring bad weather, whereas positive thoughts create wonderful, sunny conditions.

Negative thoughts cannot be eliminat-

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden ed, but can be replaced with positive ones.

So displace any negative thoughts you have with positive ones. A negative thought is one which focuses on problems or excuses as to why something won’t work. Negative thoughts are dark clouds which follow you everywhere. Negative thoughts cause persistent stormy internal weather, they are not a result of it.

They lose touch with what it is like to feel happy. In these people’s minds, rainy days are all they have to look forward to.

Positive thoughts are warming sunshine. Positive thoughts focus on positive goals and all of the reasons you can, and will accomplish your objectives. They are motivational and keep you on track.

Your thoughts are connected to what you say to yourself. This self-talk programs your mind. Therefore, you want to be telling yourself all that you will do, what you will accomplish, and how great you will feel as a result. You want to concentrate on where you would like to be.

Maintaining an attitude of gratitude for all of the blessings in your life contributes

to your good weather. This strategy keeps circumstances in perspective by always appreciating all of the positive elements you have right now.

You don’t have to wait to see what your weather will be each day. You can wake up every morning looking forward to another great day. It’s your choice. It doesn’t matter what your weather has been. You decide what it will be.

Brussels, Paris attacks prelude to nuclear terrorism?

The ISIS supporters who attacked Brussels killed more than 30 people and injured hundreds more. Bombings at the city’s airport and a subway station blew up the notion that measures taken after the Paris siege were keeping Europe safe.

The scariest part of this story is something that hasn’t happened yet and hopefully never will: an act of nuclear terrorism.

World leaders and the experts who track the whereabouts of fissile material should see Belgium’s ordeal as a wakeup call. Nuclear reactors — as the Fukushima disaster proved five years ago in Japan — aren’t worth the risks they pose based on operational safety considerations alone.

But security questions also render them unacceptably perilous.

Consider this news out of Europe that you may have missed.

Didier Prospero, a security guard at a Belgian reactor, was murdered in his own home two days after the March attacks. The killers shot the slain man’s dog too. After Prospero’s children found his body, authorities determined that his security pass was missing.

This gut-wrenching tragedy is even more troubling than it sounds.

Guest Editorial

“

It’s not clear who has the power to do something about this problem.

“

By Emily Schwartz Greco

Belgian authorities discovered hours of secretly recorded video footage of a nuclear scientist during a raid on a suspected terrorist late last year. Khalid and Ibrahim El Bakraoui, two brothers believed to have participated in the Brussels attacks, planted a camera in the bushes outside that scientist’s home.

Perhaps the suspected terrorists intended to sabotage one of Belgium’s aging nuclear reactors, turning it into a weapon of mass destruction — a tactic our government says the 9/11 attackers contemplated.

Or the suspected terrorists may have aimed to steal radioactive material for a “dirty bomb,” a conventional explosive that contaminates the area where it detonates with radiation. Either way, they’ve raised the bar for guaranteeing security at nuclear power plants.

Even before the attacks on Brussels and Prospero’s murder, Belgium was under pressure from Germany, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg to address lapses at the 11 aging nuclear reactors that generate half its electricity.

There were good reasons to be alarmed.

The Belgian nuclear agency’s computer system has been hacked, intruders have stolen and sabotaged equipment, and two employees at a Belgian reactor joined ISIS after quitting their jobs.

Hundreds of thousands of Europeans had signed a petition calling for independent inspections of Belgium’s worrisome reactors by late January. Their goal was to “avoid the next Chernobyl,” based on reports of leaks and cracks, along with assorted sabotage attempts.

Fifteen years after 9/11, how are reactor safety and security on our side of the pond?

Not so hot, as seven engineers employed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission recently made clear.

Upon finding the NRC unresponsive to their concerns about a dangerous design flaw at all but one U.S. nuclear reactor, they filed a public complaint using the same channels available to all private citizens.

It’s not clear who has the power to do something about this problem.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo apparently doesn’t. He wants the Indian Point power plant located 30 miles north of the Bronx closed. That’s easier said than done, even though its two active reactors — rife with security and safety issues — are so near our country’s biggest city.

Plant operator Entergy downplayed one recent outage after blaming it on — get this — bird droppings. If the company can’t protect Indian Point’s equipment against natural threats like avian excrement, how well would it handle terrorists?

Promoting business is important and local farmers’ markets are a great way to promote businesses and spur their growth.

Whenever I see an opportunity to improve Ohio’s business climate I want to get involved, which is why I have stood behind these bills that will enhance our local wine industry.

I have been proud to see these wineries grow and develop in our state and I hope they continue to do so. Small businesses are vital to our economy, which is why I am looking forward to seeing House Bill 178 and 342 pass the Ohio Senate to further advance our local wineries.

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

On August 2, at approximately 2:30 a.m., Toledo issued a tap water ban to communities that consume city water after high levels of a toxin created by blue green algae was detected in samples taken from the Collins Park water treatment plant on the East Side.

Samples from the plant, which its water from the western basin draws of Lake Erie, the 12th largest freshwater lake in the world, showed that microcystin, produced by blooms of cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, was detected at 3 parts per billion (ppb), exceeding the 1 ppb safety threshold established by the World Health Organization. The toxin, at high levels, can cause abnormal liver function in humans and animals.

The ban created havoc in Northwest Ohio. Stores open 24 hours reported shortages of bottled water just two hours after Toledo issued the ban. Residents unaware of the do-not-drink advisory during the night awakened that morning to find the commodity many take for granted in very short supply. Not only were customers

Lake board to hear consultant on gun policy

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A safety consultant from Buckeye Firearms Association has been invited to a Jan. 24 workshop of the Lake school board to explain the association’s Faculty/ Administrator Training & Emergency Response (FASTER) program.

The program offers training for school personnel in the event of an actual shooter on school property.

Tim Krugh, school board president, said that although some Lake district employees have permits to carry concealed weapons the board currently doesn’t authorize anyone to bring weapons on school property.

The board will make no decisions at the workshop, he said.

“We’re just looking for ways we can minimize the chance of a tragic shooting, with an eye on prevention,” Krugh “We want to look at all viable optionssaid. and see what the program has to offer.”

Mark Hummer, chief of the Lake Township Police Department, and Steve Poiry, the department’s school resource officer, have been invited to the workshop, according to Krugh, who said any decision to loosen the board’s policy would be done in collaboration with the police department.

“We’re blessed to have an outstanding police department here and we’ve had great cooperation and support from chief Hummer and the resource officer as well as the township trustees,” Krugh said.

The Buckeye Firearms Association website describes the FASTER program as an “…intensive 3-day class where you will learn many of the same skills and tactics used by law enforcement. Your instructors will include professional law enforcement personnel with extensive knowledge of active shooter situations.”

Participants are required to have concealed handgun licenses issued by the in which they work before undergoingstate the training.

A rare opportunity to see more than 80 modern works of studio glass from private and corporate collections is being offered in a special exhibition this spring and summer at the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) Glass Pavilion.

“Hot Spot: Contemporary Glass from Private Collections,” which opens April 15 and continues through Sept. 18, showcases contemporary North American, European, Australian and Asian studio glass. Many of the objects are on public view for the first time.

Curated by Jutta-Annette Page, TMA’s senior curator of glass and decorative art, the exhibition celebrates the 10th anniversary of the opening of the SANAA-designed Glass Pavilion and also shines a light on the impressive and storied glass legacy at TMA. The works of art will be featured in seven thematic groups – the human figure, animals and plants, landscapes, vessel forms, the spirit world, abstract forms and outer space. Among the artists are Joyce Scott, Nicholas Africano, Tom Moore, Kimiake Higuchi, Preston Singletary, Debora Moore and Tobias Møhl.

“This exhibition is the perfect way to reflect on current directions in the studio glass movement in the U.S. as well as studio glass from around the world, particularly work by glass artists not currently represented in TMA’s collection,” Page said. “Toledo is the Glass City and the Toledo Museum of Art, as a major player in the history of studio glass as an art form, is committed to nurturing innovative contemporary glass artists through its collections, programs and facilities.”

The exhibition is made possible by 2016 Exhibition Program Sponsor ProMedica, by museum members and by a sustainability grant from the Ohio Arts Council.

Admission to the Glass Pavilion and the exhibition is free. Parking is free for Museum members and $5 for non-members. www.toledomuseum.org for info.

TMA’s role in the American Studio Glass It was in 1962 in a garage on Museum grounds where glass pioneer Harvey Littleton, then a pottery instructor, received the support of TMA Director Otto Wittmann to conduct a glass workshop to explore molten glass in a studio setting rather than a factory. An experimental furnace was built, and though initial attempts to fuse molten glass failed, with assistance from artist and master glass craftsman

Etc.

Dominick Labino on furnace construction, the artists were able to realize the fundamental requirements for this new studio technique.

In 1969, TMA became the first museum to build a facility and studio dedicated to and designed specifically for teaching glass technique.

The landmark Glass Pavilion was designed by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, lead architects of SANAA, the Pritzker Prize-winning architecture firm based in Tokyo, and joined the architecturally distinctive TMA 36-acre campus in 2006. The exterior and many of the interior walls of the 74,000-square-foot building are made entirely of glass. Itself a work of art, the structure serves as both a museum housing TMA’s renowned glass holdings and as a studio.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Miracle Workerâ&#x20AC;? comes to Oregon Oregon Community Theatre will present, the inspiring play â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Miracle Workerâ&#x20AC;? April 8 and 9 and 15 and 16 at 8 p.m. and April 10 at 3 p.m. Performances are held in the Fassett Auditorium, 3025 Starr Ave., Oregon.

Directed by Amy Spaulding-Heuring, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Miracle Workerâ&#x20AC;? is based on the true story of Helen Keller and her teacher, Anne Sullivan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an unforgettable story that has moved countless readers and become an American classic. Young Helen Keller, blind, deaf, and mute since infancy, is in danger of being sent to an institution because her inability to communicate has left her frustrated and violent. In desperation, her parents seek help from the Perkins Institute, which sends them a â&#x20AC;&#x153;half-blind Yankee schoolgirlâ&#x20AC;? named Anne Sullivan to tutor their daughter. Despite the Kellersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; resistance and the belief that Helen â&#x20AC;&#x153;is like a little safe, locked, that no one can open,â&#x20AC;? Anne suspects that within Helen lies the potential for more, if only she can reach her. Through persistence, love and sheer stubbornness, Annie breaks through Helenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walls of silence and darkness and teaches her to communicate, bringing her into the world at last.

As the OCT cast and crew prepared for the upcoming performance, they were stunned to learn of the death of actress Patty Duke, who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Helen Keller in the 1962 film, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Miracle Worker.â&#x20AC;? Duke died March 29 at the age of 69.

Eagles looking to four-peat, Rockets seeking next step

By J. Patrick Eaken, Mark Griffin, and Yaneek Smith sports@presspublications.com In the last three years, Clay softball has gone 80-11, won the Three Rivers Athletic Conference three times and claimed two district titles.

But this will be the second consecutive season in which the Eagles have had to replace six starters.

What’s changed this season is that there is an equal dispersion of players from every class — three seniors, three juniors, three sophomores and three freshman.

“We’re very young after graduating six seniors for two years in a row now. We’ve got a lot of young players. In past years, we’ve had one freshman on varsity,” said Radabaugh. “We have a lot of kids who have a lot of softball experience, so there are some very talented players, but we’re very young.”

Coach Brenda Radabaugh believes that if the defense can limit its errors, the Eagles will be successful.

“I think a lot of it will depend on our defense and cutting down on errors. We have freshman and sophomores on the infield. If we can communicate well and cut down on the errors, we’ll be very successful; if we can keep things fairly clean on defense, I think we’ll be alright. It comes down to who scores the most runs,” she said.

“We have a very cohesive group; they’re probably the most cohesive team I’ve seen in a long time. I was worried when we had such a wide age range. We usually have mostly juniors and seniors. I’ve been very surprised and very happy with them so far. They’re picking each other up all the time. I think it’s going to be a fun year.”

At Oak Harbor, In each of Chris Rawski’s four years, the Rockets have steadily improved each season. In Rawski’s first two years, Oak Harbor went from 9-19 to 19-9, won a sectional title in his third year and advanced to the district finals last season.

Now the question is: Are the Rockets ready to take the next step?

Playing in the Sandusky Bay Conference only makes things that much more challenging with the likes of Edison, Perkins and Clyde consistently churning out good teams. On the flip side, that stiff competition has thoroughly tested Oak Harbor and made them better for it.

“The SBC will be very tough again this year. We hope to contend for a league title, but will have to be very tough during league play,” said Rawski. “There isn’t a clear front runner, and every team could have a shot at winning.”

Clay Coach: Brenda Radabaugh, 16th year Career Record: 469-160 Last Season: 22-4 (14-0 TRAC) Key Returnees: Haley Dominique, CF; Bekah Yenrick, RF; Natalie Quinlan, C; Olivia Hornyak, LF Outlook: There are key players returning for Radabaugh, now in her 16th season at Clay. Center fielder Haley Dominique, who committed to play at Ball State University when she was a sophomore, comes off a year in which she hit .505 and drove in 33 runs. She and right fielder Bekah Yenrick (.467, 25 RBIs) will hit third and fourth, respectively, in the lineup.

They'll hold down the fort with Tori Gallaher hitting lead off and Natalie Quinlan, the catcher, batting second.

Gallaher, a right-handed freshman who plays second base when she's not pitching, will split time in the circle with fellow freshman Lindsay Roberts, a left-handed hurler. Heading into the season opener, Radabaugh remained unsure of who will be the top starter. Last season, Jamie Miller was the starting pitcher.

"I don't really know who will be No. 1. They have different pitching styles. They will both start," said Radabaugh. "I haven't really figured out a sequence for them.

Both pitchers seem to be very composed, neither of them seem to get rattled. Haley Dominique pitched a few games last year and was a backup pitcher. She's available to come in on relief, but the goal is to have the freshman throw as much as possible."

The other hitters, following Yenrick in the cleanup spot, will be third baseman Regan Stager, first baseman Kennedy Sattler, Roberts, who will play first base or be the designated player when she's not pitching, left fielder Olivia Hornyak and shortstop Tiffany Stevens. They'll be expected to replace some of the production left by the departure of Miller, Bailey Bocock, Brooke Gyori and Hayley Shiavone.

Northwood junior pitcher Jade Laviolette delivers.

(Press photo

by Don Thompson/ Facebook. com/ DNRsport) Three others — Kelsi Haurter, Charisa Timmons and Lexi Bolander — will also play key roles.

Oak Harbor Coach: Chris Rawski, fifth year Career Record: 62-50 Last Season: 18-12 (5-7, SBC) Key Returnees: Emma Bergman, P/1B; Maddy Rathbun, C; Ashley Riley, 1B/P; Emma Vidal, 3B; Olivia Rollins, 2B; Seree Petersen, RF Outlook: This is an experienced group, one that features eight upperclassmen, seven of whom have lettered. Juniors Emma Bergman and Maddy Rathbun have formed the battery in each of the last two seasons, gaining valuable experience along the way.

Bergman, who already owns multiple school records, is coming off a season that saw her post an 11-7 record with a 1.71 ERA and throw 127 strikeouts compared to just seven walks, good enough to put her All-SBC second team. Rathbun, who is adept at throwing out base runners, earned All-Ohio honors for her stellar hitting and work behind the plate.

When Bergman ran into trouble, Rawski could call upon Ashley Riley, who went 7-5 with a 1.66 ERA and 117 strikeouts.

“Having two No. 1 pitchers makes us that much better. We are able to match up in different ways,” said Rawski. “It is definitely a luxury that we are fortunate to have.”

Those three were among the Rockets’ top hitters last year, and Seree Petersen, Olivia Rollins and Emma Vidal will team with them to form what could be a strong lineup.

Defense is one of Rawski’s calling cards, and he’s entrusts the left side of the infield to Vidal, the third basemen, and Chrislyn Stevenson at short. Rollins plays second, Riley normally plays first and Brandy Lochotzki will begin her third year starting in center field. A number of other players will see action as well, including Tessa Tyburski, who started for much of last season, Michelle Stevenson, Kaytlynn Sandwisch, Olivia Jensen and Dani Epling.

“We are confident in this group. They have shown that they are willing to work at their game during the offseason in order to reach their goals,” said Rawski. “We see this team being able to hopefully contend for the SBC title. We want to be at our peak when the league is finishing up and the tourney starts. We (must) finish tight, tough games. Getting that crucial out or key hit in a big game will get us to our goals.”

Lake Coach: Dave Rymers, ninth year Career record: 111-110 Last season: 18-10 (9-5, NBC) Key returnees: Emma Materni, Sr., 2B; Ciena Cole, Sr., OF; Sydnee Behlmer, Jr., P; Megan Williams, Jr., SS; Emilee Kunkelman, Jr., OF/P; Rebekah Swartz, Jr., OF; Kirsten Zink, So., 3B; Sam Hoffman, So., C. Outlook: This year’s team returns eight letter winners and should have plenty of power in the lineup with Sydnee Behlmer, Sam Hoffman, Emma Materni and Kirsten Zink.

Having Behlmer back is a good start.

The second-team All-NBC pitcher was 14-9 with a 3.02 ERA on the mound last season, with 137 strikeouts. She also batted .430 and drove in 24 runs.

“This is the first year where she’s starting to have a pitcher’s mentality,” Rymers said. “We’re going to win a lot of games because that mentality has changed for her. At Lake, she is the pitcher. She’s not necessarily asked to be the No. 1 in the summer and on travel teams. She understands that for us to win games, she’s going to be the pitcher. She’s embraced that role.”

Zink returns after an amazing freshman year. She hit .495 with 35 RBI and six home runs and was named honorable mention All-NBC and second team all-district.

“There are a lot of expectations on her,” Rymers said. “A lot of that is because of what she did last year with the bat. Our school record for home runs was three, and she hit six. Our career record is eight. She is very skilled with the bat.”

Materni is also skilled at the plate, batting .351 with 17 RBI last season to earn honorable mention all-conference honors.

“Her role is similar to last year,” Rymers said. “She is now a senior and hitting in the middle part of our lineup. She’s going to be a really nice second baseman. As a freshman she came in as a pitcher and she was our only pitcher that year. Her batting average and run production will only improve.”

Hoffman (.362, 22 RBI) started every game behind the plate last season as a freshman.

“Sam is a kid who who understands her role,” Rymer said. “She is the catcher.

I’m excited to see what she can do with the bat. She has as much power as Zink.”

Other key returnees include Ciena Cole (.300), Megan Williams (.267 BA, 13 RBI), Emilee Kunkelman (.298, 11 RBI, 4-1, 3.11 ERA) and Rebekah Swartz (.333). They helped Lake earn the second most singleseason wins in school history. The Flyers have not won a league title since 1995.

“Last year was a successful season, but no banners were hung, no sectional title, no league title,” Rymers said. “It was an empty feeling when the season ended. Returning as much (experience) as we have, they remember that. That’s what’s driven them in the offseason and this preseason to prepare us for this year.”

Genoa Coach: Michelle Hamilton, second year Last Season: 17-8 (10-4 NBC) Key Returnees: Haley Pickard, SS; Haley Gerke, 1B/3B; Jordan Blausey, 1B; Emily Edwards, C/3B; Erica Smith, CF Outlook: There is a new starter in the circle as freshman Amanda Tucholski will take over for Lea Theisen, who is pitching at Mercyhurst North East.

“Amanda is going to do great things on the mound. She is young and is going to face turmoil, but she is focused and always improving,” said Hamilton. “Her main focus for this year is location; if she can hit her spots and put movement on the ball,

she will do great. She is going to get hit a lot more than she is used to, but she is aware of this and is pitching strikes. She knows we have a solid defense that will back her up.”

Kayla Satkowski and Sara Blausey could also see some time in the circle.

Smith will lead off and play center, followed by Tucholski, Edwards, who catches and sometimes plays third base, Pickard (SS), Gerke (3B/1B), Chayce McQueary (2B), Brooke Bryant (2B/C) or Jordan Blausey (1B), Sydney Wagner (LF) and Abby Wolfe (RF).

There are five upperclassmen — Pickard, Gerke, Blausey, Edwards and Smith — and Hamilton expects them to serve in vital leadership roles to help the younger players.

“I am going to rely on these players to stay positive and motivated. They are going to have to be the ones keeping our younger players on top of their game,” said Hamilton. “We are a fairly young team and I expect my seasoned players to be at their best 100 percent of the time. This is a tall order, but I know they are ready to accept this role.”

Eastwood Coach: Joe Wyant, ninth year Last season: 14-12 (8-6, NBC) Key returnees: Alexa Schmeltz, Sr., CF; Mackenzie Albright, Sr., SS; Alex Appelhans, Jr., LF; Megan Melcher, So., RF. Outlook: Eastwood’s entire infield will be comprised of freshmen, save for senior Mackenzie Albright, who will be a four-year starter at shortstop. Albright was a firstteam All-Northern Buckeye Conference pick a year ago after hitting .464 with 26 RBI, 35 runs, 14 doubles and four home runs.

“She is a great athlete, probably best all-around player in our league hitting and fielding,” Wyant said.

“She’s a real competitor.”

Alexa Schmeltz was the offensive player of the year in the NBC last season, when she hit .547 with 42 RBI, 36 runs, 17 doubles and seven home runs. Schmeltz, who played third base last year, is moving to center field this season and will bat third in the lineup.

“She’ll be an outfielder when she goes to (Owens Community College), and I thought I’d take a little pressure off her at third and let her concentrate on hitting,” Wyant said. “I have another girl (freshman Carleigh Coffield) who can play third who will be just as good defensively. I hope Alexa hits as well as last year.”

Freshman pitcher Ashley Hitchcock takes over for the graduated Riley Patterson on the mound.

“She’s thrown a lot of ball in the past, on travel teams,” Wyant said. “She seems mentally ready to be a varsity pitcher. She’s played a lot of ball and is improving every day.”

Junior Macey Fix (.267, 15 RBI) returns at designated hitter after earning secondteam all-conference honors at DH last season. Fix will eventually be Hitchcock’s backup. Junior left fielder Alex Appelhans and sophomore right fielder Megan Melcher both lettered last season.

The Eagles’ infield starters include catcher Maddie Recker, first baseman Alissa Ray and second baseman Hannah Owens.

Woodmore Coach: Tasha Floro, second year Last Season: 0-26 (0-14, NBC) Key Returnees: Emily Paul, INF; Morgan Witt, OF; Madi Kleinhans, INF/OF Outlook: Marena Hartford was expected to be Woodmore’s starting pitcher this year but has been lost to an injury for the season. Delaney Hablitzel is expected to throw plenty of innings in her place and Maddie Thatcher and Emily Paul could also see some time in the circle.

Paul, Morgan Witt, and Katelyn Marshall are expected to be the Wildcats’ top hitters, according to Floro.

They must replace some of the production provided by Hana Zollinger, who hit .455.

“We will definitely be counting on these girls to get on base for us and to knock runners in,” said Floro. “They have the ability to be great hitters and fielders for this team.”

Courtney Heffling and Mackenzie Nighswander will provide speed on the base paths. Woodmore lost another key player in Kayla Bosh when she was injured in a game against Lakota, putting yet another burden on the club. At this point, things are still in flux with the lineup.

“The batting order could still be chang-

Softball previews (Continued from page 16) ing at this point. We unfortunately have had several injuries we are playing around, and are also playing many young players,” said Floro. “So right now, we are just trying to get a feel for where some of the girls are going to feel the most comfortable and benefit the team.”

Gibsonburg Coach: Marty Brown, third year Career Record: 44-12 Last Season: 25-6 (14-0, TAAC) Key Returnees: Sam DeAnda, P; Abby Cantrell, 1B; Shylee Schmeltz, SS; Libby Henderson, 2B; Allie Teeple, CF Outlook: Marty Brown, now in his third season coaching the team, is confident that Sam DeAnda and Aubrey Fleming have the ability to replace the void filled by Kirwen’s graduation.

“Sam DeAnda is a seasoned pitcher with good experience, control and a good mindset.

Sam and Aubrey Fleming will be rotating games throughout the season,” Brown said. “They both have the desire and talent to be on the mound. More important, they are both team-oriented players.”

The lineup hit the cover off the ball in a number of games last year, and with many of the key hitters returning, it could be more of the same for the Bears.

Some of the top hitters from last year were Allie Teeple, Abby Cantrell and Shylee Schmeltz, each of whom will fill the top spots in the order.

“As good as Cantrell, Schmeltz and Teeple were (last) season, we can’t take for granted that they are going to repeat that this season,” said Brown. “With that said, the remaining starters are working hard to contribute to our lineup.

The batting order will feature Teeple, Cantrell, Schmeltz, Libby Henderson, Aubrey Fleming, Katy Roberts, Ashley Hasselbach, Marian Younker and DeAnda.

not very tall or big, but she can hit balls over the fence.

We usually bat Jade and Rudnicki next to each other.

Lexi will get on base and Jade knocks her in. Lexi can move around on a steal and get herself in scoring position. She’s quick and smart.”

Laviolett is in her third year as a starter on the mound and earned second-team AllToledo Area Athletic Conference honors as a sophomore.

“She’s got good speed and throws a lot of strikes and has confidence on the mound,” Noonan said. “She’s a pitcher who knows the batters she’s going to face. She will research teams before we play them.”

Lexi Rymers, who batted .343 last year, is being counted on to have a big season.

“She is thin but she’s tall and she has power behind her swing,” Noonan said.

“She likes the high ones and they changed the strike zone this year, so it will complement the pitches she likes.”

Northwood’s backup pitcher is sophomore first baseman Casey Meadors. The Rangers also welcome the addition of sophomore designated hitter Hannah Garno, who had shoulder surgery and has been out of softball for two years.

“She will definitely help us at the plate,” Noonan said. “She has good power and is a good base runner.”

Cardinal Stritch Coach: Ashley Sujkowski, first year Last season: 16-10 (12-2, TAAC) Key returnees: Halie Wharton, Jr., C; Samantha Huss, Sr., P; Lizzie Smith, Sr., SS. Outlook: Huss was the Cardinals’ No. 2 pitcher last year but steps into the No. 1 position this season.

“She has a good attitude and is a pretty consistent pitcher,” Sujkowski said. “The team looks up to her, so I think she’s a pretty good person to take charge on the mound.

She has a fastball, curve, rise ball and drop ball, and she’s pretty consistent.”

Huss’s battery mate behind the plate will be Wharton, who was the starting catcher last season. Sujkowski allows Wharton to call all of the pitches.

“She does a good job back there,” Sujkowski said. “Until it stops working, I think I’ll stick with that. I was with them last year and she did pretty well. I had a talk with her last year and she seems pretty confident. Her and Sam work really well together.”

Smith has also played catcher but is now the full-time starting shortstop.

“She’s a great player, but I can’t take her away from shortstop,” Sujkowski said.

“I like her being in the field. She has a great arm and a good bat and is just a good leader on the team. Lizzie plays a lot of summer ball and softball is her No. 1 sport. I know she’s looking to play softball in college.”

The Cardinals’ top newcomers are sophomore center fielder Erika Berg, sophomore third baseman Lexie Hood and senior first baseman Nicole Hood.

“All three were jayvee players last year and did well,” Sujkowski said. “They’re stepping up this year. Erika looks great in center. She is quick with a good arm. Lexi is young but has a pretty solid glove. Nicole, being a senior, is stepping up.”

Sylvia Rombach, Sr., 2B; Kaitlyn Grant, Jr., P; Dominique Bryan, Sr., LF. Preview: Marissa Cockerill and Sylvia Rombach are the team’s only returning starters. Cockerill was a first-team All-City League selection as a utility player last season, when she hit .366.

Cockerill hit an over-thefence three-run home run against North Central.

“She did it all last year,”Granados said. “Our (home) field is pretty short, so I expect her to hit a couple homers on our field as well. She’s looking for good pitches and will be a disciplined hitter. On the bases, she’s out of this world. She steals everything she can get on the bases.”

Rombach played primarily in the outfield last season, but has played second base and catcher. Granados said Rombach will be Waite’s full-time second baseman.

“She’s pretty good with the glove,” Granados said, “and she’s pretty quick.”

Kaitlyn Grant is the Indians’ No. 1 pitcher after getting some varsity experience a year ago.

“The City League will be a test for her,” Granados said. “This is her third year pitching and she’s really starting to get some control.”

Junior shortstop Cassie Burdue also saw some varsity action last season but still has some work to do getting used to playing the infield.

“Cassie has a great glove, but she still has to iron things out with playing middle infield,” Granados said. “She has a good arm on her and she’s coming around hitting.”

Rase hopes one league title leads to another

By J. Patrick Eaken, Mark Griffin and Yaneek Smith sports@presspublications.com Gibsonburg baseball coach Kyle Rase believes there is great depth in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference because Cardinal Stritch, Toledo Christian, Ottawa Hills and Tiffin Calvert are all capable of performing at a high level.

“That’s what is interesting about the TAAC,” he said. “On any given night, anyone can win, that makes it competitive and fun.”

Despite the fact that there are some holes Gibsonburg must fill, there is good reason to believe they’ll be successful. In Rase’s 11 prior years, the Bears have won a state championship and in each of the last five seasons have claimed a sectional title, highlighted by a run to the regional semifinals in 2012. Last year was their first league title under his reign, however.

“I think we have a lot of good kids that come through our program. They are talented, but I’m referring to them as good kids in the classroom and good leaders; we’ve had real good senior leadership the last few years,” Rase said. “When you are fortunate to have had good assistant coaches and a lot of support from a lot of different people for the program, it kind of comes together.

The younger kids see the older kids doing things a certain way, and the winning obviously helps. Hopefully it keeps on going.”

Cardinal Stritch coach Craig Meinzer believes defending TAAC co-champs Gibsonburg and Tiffin Calvert are two of the front-runners again this season.

“We’ll be young and athletic,” Meinzer said. “We have some good baseball players in the program. If we can play as a team, we’ll do some good things.”

Northwood coach Jeff Hess said he has to temper his enthusiasm with this year’s group because of its youth, but he says don’t count the Rangers out.

“Expectations are always high,” he said, “but you have to keep it on that game-by-game basis with a young group.

You can’t let expectations get too high.

The talent level’s not too bad. It will take some time for these young kids to find their groove.

Golden Bears, Cardinals to battle In TAAC softball, last year was one of the best seasons ever for Gibsonburg.

It wasn't quite like the three state championships and the runner-up finish in the early 2000s, but the 2015 Golden Bears had an impressive season.

With great hitters and a very capable

Although the team did lose key contributors like Kirwen, Lyndsey Perales and Nina Mancha, much of the production returns.

"We have a pretty solid group of players this year," said Coach Marty Brown.

"However, the girls have to continue to work hard and play one game at a time to be successful. Adjustments could be made (to the lineup) as the season progresses."

Gibsonburg received a break when it moved back down to Division IV after competing in D-III in previous years.

The Bears are expected to have to fend off Cardinal Stritch, which shared the league title with Gibsonburg a few years ago, as well as Northwood and perhaps Danbury and Tiffin Calvert for the Toledo Area Athletic Conference crown.

"We are not taking any of these opponents for granted," said Brown. "Coming off a successful season, our expectations are high for 2016. Our goal is to make it back to regionals. We (must) stay focused and play sound, fundamental softball, both offensively and defensively."

At Cardinal Stritch, first-year head coach Ashley Sujkowski, an assistant last season, played shortstop at Central Catholic from 2005-09 and takes over a Cardinals

team with just three returning varsity players in Halie Wharton, Samantha Huss and Lizzie Smith.

Stritch, which finished second behind Gibsonburg in the TAAC last season, dropped its season opener to Oak Harbor last Saturday.

“We have a ways to go,” Sujkowski said. “It’s tough because we (graduated) a lot of players. We cut our jayvee team this year and we have 13 players in our entire program. This is a good group of girls.

They have the potential and I’ve seen great things from them. They just have to become a little more consistent. They have to get the confidence. Once we get a few games under our belts, we’ll get better.”

However, don’t count out Northwood, which returns almost its entire starting lineup. The Rangers return eight starters from last season and only graduated one senior.

Coach Jennifer Noonan says the Rangers must play better on defense this season as well as hit the ball well from the first through ninth spot in the batting order to compete for a conference crown.

“Last year when we started we were nine individual players on the field,” the coach said. “We’ve had scrimmages this year and we’re all playing together.

They got a year older and they’re all best friends now. You can just see it on the field.

Everybody has a positive attitude. They’re always having fun and helping each other.”

Indians have one way to go — up

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Following a winless season, there’s only one direction to go but up, and Waite baseball coach John Segura is confident this year’s Indians will head in that direction.

“We are greatly improved from last season in baseball knowledge,” Segura said.

“These kids worked their butts off in the offseason. Coming from an 0-25 team, we had 42 kids came out for baseball. When you go 0-25 and still have the interest of these kids, somewhere along the way we must be doing something right.”

He said Waite’s players have committed themselves to turning things around.

“All my guys played summer baseball and five guys played fall baseball,” Segura said. “Our baseball IQ has greatly improved. Our defense has improved. Last year our baseball IQ was extremely low. We had four starters who never played baseball at all. Throughout summer and fall, our kids have put in a ton of work to get baseball ready. Their baseball IQ has grown.”

Junior varsity coach Anthony Rodgers worked with several players in the offseason.

“We’ve got the talent there, but our baseball knowledge was low – how to hit a ball and field a ball,” Segura said. “Anthony Rodgers comes in with any players who want any extra work, on a volunteer status.

Four kids who played jayvee last year will start on varsity, and I credit Anthony with all that because he works hard with these kids.”

Segura added one of his former players at Northwood, pitcher Cameron Juhasz, is a volunteer coach. Juhasz was an All-Toledo Area Athletic Conference pitcher in 201011 and then went on to pitch at Mount Vernon Nazarene University for four years.

The Press Box

Mid-Am honors former Eagle Ross Achter Toledo senior left-handed pitcher Ross Achter (Clay) was named Mid-American Conference West Division Pitcher of the Week by pitching the Rockets to its firstever win over Big Ten member Indiana.

The southpaw’s great performance earns him this accolade for the first time in his collegiate career.

The Oregon native struck out a careerhigh six batters and scattered six hits over seven innings pitched in the 3-1 win over the Hoosiers.

“Ross pitched great,” Toledo coach Cory Mee said. “We were good defensively, came up with a couple of big hits and executed our formula of pitching, playing defense, and clutch hitting. I love how our team competed.”

Achter is 2-3 with a 3.55 ERA so far this season. In six games, he has 19 strikeouts, 15 walks, allowed 13 earned runs and 36 hits in 33 innings. The Rockets are 4-201 overall and 1-2 in MAC play.

As a junior for UT, the 6-foot-4, 186 pound Achter was a major contributor in the Rockets’ bullpen. He led the team in appearances with 24 and sported an 0-1 record with team-best 2.39 ERA. In MAC play, Achter pitched in 21.2 innings with a 1.55 ERA, appearing in 14 MAC contests, giving up only six runs.

Overall last year, Achter accumulated 37.2 innings of work and was fourth on the team in strikeouts with 28. He struck out at least one batter in 21 of 24 appearances. Achter did not give up a hit in three straight appearances (March 28-April 4).

As a sophomore, Achter was one of the Rockets’ mid-week starters, appearing in 10 games and making seven starts. He sported a 1-3 record with 4.62 ERA. A 2012 graduate of Clay, he was a three-year letter winner in baseball and basketball and two years in football. He was rated the 81st-best prospect in state by Ohio Prep Baseball Report and was a threetime all-Toledo City League selection.

At Clay, Achter tallied 64 strikeouts and 1.87 ERA in 48.2 innings of work on the mound as a senior while also batting .390 with 22 RBI. He was a first-team allconference, first-team all-district and firstteam academic all-league pick. He also registered a 1-2 record with 4.85 ERA and 26 punchouts in 20.2 frames of work on the hill as junior, earning him second-team allcity and an honorable mention all-district.

He also hit .370 with 14 runs scored, four doubles and six stolen bases that year. He was also second-team all-conference in basketball as a senior.

Toledo Reign open season The Toledo Reign women’s football team began its season Saturday at Fremont’s Don Paul Stadium’s Harmond Field, and will play again at home in Fremont on Saturday, April 23. Two games at Rogers High School will be May 7 and June 4. All home games kick off at 7 p.m.

Local players are Sandra “Mayor” Bowen, an Eastwood graduate, Ashley Zam (Lake), Angie “E” Blasingim (Lake), Brittaney “Hollywood” Watson (Northwood), Mary Margaret Boda (Fremont), and Molly Ann McCawley (Genoa).

Indians hope to ride pitchers to playoffs

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Since making it to the playoffs in 2013, the Cleveland Indians have regressed.

They certainly haven’t played poorly in the last two years, but 85 and 81 victories, respectively, is typically not good enough to get to the postseason, and it wasn’t for the Tribe.

Cleveland fans know their favorite team has been susceptible to slow starts, and the last two years were no different.

Last season, the Indians stood at 16-23 on May 20 and went 43-43 over the next three months to arrive at 59-66 on Aug. 25.

Ultimately, it was too much to overcome as Cleveland didn’t get on the plus side of .500 until the final day of the regular season, finishing 81-80. It was more of the same in 2014 as the Tribe didn’t make it above .500 until reaching 61-60 on Aug. 15, and they were forced to play catch-up for the rest of the season before falling short of a playoff spot.

The team’s struggles have primarily been the result of a lack of hitting, and the lack of scoring killed Cleveland’s playoff hopes last season. Last year, the Tribe finished second in the American League in ERA and runs allowed, but were just 11th in scoring, which proved to be their undoing.

Thanks to a staff that features former Cy Young winner Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar, pitching hasn’t been the problem. Aside from Michael Brantley, Jason Kipnis, Francisco Lindor and the platoon of Ryan Raburn and David Murphy, Cleveland got nothing more than inconsistency from the rest of its hitters.

The front office tried to retool and brought in Mike Napoli to play first base and Juan Uribe to play third. Despite both struggling at the plate last season, the hope is that they’ll play like they have in the past when they were solid, consistent contributors.

The projected lineup will featured Lindor leading off, followed by Kipnis,

The Flip Side

by Yaneek Smith Brantley, Carlos Santana, Napoli, Lonnie Chisenhall, Yan Gomes, Uribe and possibly Tyler Naquin or Rajai Davis rounding out the order.

There are a number of other outfielders who could see time this year like Will Venable, Collin Cowgill and Marlon Byrd, especially if Brantley begins the season on the disabled list, which is expected to be the case. Brantley again proved why he’s one of the best hitters in the game, putting up a .310 BA, .379 OBP, .480 SLG, 45 doubles, 15 HRs, and 84 RBIs, but missing opening day is a big blow to Cleveland.

Abraham Almonte, who played center field for much of the second half of the season, hit .264, scored 30 times and drove in 20 runs. Unfortunately, he tested positive for steroids and is facing an 80-game suspension, which he could appeal.

Lindor was as good as advertised in his rookie season, hitting .313 with a .482 slugging percentage and driving in 51 runs in 99 games. Kipnis bounced back and actually led the AL in hitting for part of the season before finishing with a .303 average.

His on-base percentage (.372) and slugging percentage (.451) were very good, too, and he hit 43 doubles and drove in 52 runs while leading off for much of the season.

However, he did experience some struggles during the final two months of the season.

However, depending on the bats of Brantley, Lindor and Kipnis won’t be enough. Following Brantley, which Cleveland hitter can strike any sort of fear into a pitcher?

Santana is good at getting on base, but he’s not much of a hitter. Napoli is coming off a bad season, though he did play well after being traded to Texas in July, giving the Indians reason to be hopeful, but his best days are behind him.

Overall, Chisenhall, who will also

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.

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

The Toledo Walleye secured a spot in the East Coast Hockey League’s 2016 Kelly Cup Playoffs.

The Walleye continue to rewrite the T-Town Hockey history books, setting a new team record for sellouts at the Huntington Center (currently at 16). And another record is on the horizon, with four home games remaining, the Walleye were on track to surpass the record set last season of 231,847.

Toledo has an overall record of 4319-2-3 and 19-11-2-2 on the road and is in first place in the ECHL’s North Division. Three of the final five games for the Walleye will be played at the Huntington Center.

There’s “unfinished business” for the Walleye heading into the playoffs. Last season, Toledo came within a goal of playing for the Kelly Cup, losing an Eastern Conference finals game seven triple-overtime thriller against South Carolina.

Toledo became the first team in the Eastern Conference to punch a ticket to the postseason. It is the fourth time in Walleye history that Toledo will be in the Kelly Cup Playoffs and the first time they will be there in back to back seasons.

The Kelly Cup division semifinals will begin on April 15, division finals are from April 29-May 11, conference finals from May 13-25, and Kelly Cup finals May 27-June 8. All are best-ofseven series.

Single game playoff tickets are now on sale. Tickets are $18 for adults and $16 for seniors and children 12 and under. Tickets for any games not played during the 2016 Kelly Cup Playoffs may be redeemed for any Walleye game during the 2016-17 regular season or any 2016 Mud Hens game.

“Moment with FIORITTO'S

begin the season on the DL, had a mediocre season in 2015, but he took off after being moved to right field, hitting .303 and driving in 23 runs during 51 games in the outfield. However, inconsistency has been the name of the game with him since he got to the Majors.

Gomes regressed significantly, hitting just .231 and driving in 45 runs in 95 games while battling a knee injury. And Uribe is 37-years-old, but he is just two years removed from hitting .311.

Salazar (14-10, 3.45 ERA), Kluber (916, 3.49 ERA) and Carrasco (14-12, 3.63 ERA) all had impressive seasons and each finished in the top seven in the AL in strikeouts, but didn’t receive much run support.

They’ll have to continue to perform at a high level for the Indians to contend.

Trevor Bauer, who the team has high hopes for, regressed slightly in his second full season, finishing 11-12 with a 4.55 ERA. Surprisingly, Bauer will begin the season in the bullpen behind Josh Tomlin (7-2, 3.02 ERA) and Cody Anderson (7-3, 3.05 ERA), both whom split time at No. 5 last year.

Cody Allen had 34 saves to go with a 2.99 ERA last year, Bryan Shaw finished 3-3 with 23 holds and a 2.95 ERA and Zach McAllister was 4-4 with 12 holds and a 3.00 ERA. Jeff Manship, Kyle Crockett and two newly-acquired players, Dan Otero and Joba Chamberlain, should provide solid relief.

As I see it, the x-factors on the team are Bauer, Napoli, Chisenhall and Brantley’s shoulder. I think Bauer will be alright, but I don’t trust Napoli or Chisenhall, and the team better hope Brantley’s injury does not become a nagging problem.

The Dolans family ownership gave general manager Chris Antonetti the green light to spend more money on a legitimate cleanup hitter. If the Indians continue to struggle with hitting, it won’t be good. In the AL, pitching and a good manager might not be enough to get to the postseason on a consistent basis.

I see the Tribe winning 83 to 86 games and falling just short of the playoffs. But if they get off to a good start, there’s no reason to believe Cleveland can’t get back to the postseason.

The Press wins statewide award for Lake Erie series The Press news staff recently won ďŹ rst and second place awards from the Ohio Newspaper Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hooper writing contest.

Staff writers Kelly J. Kaczala, Larry Limpf, Tammy Walro, J. Patrick Eaken, and photojournalist Ken Grosjean won ďŹ rst place in the Community Awareness category, and second place for feature and indepth reporting categories for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saving Lake Erie,â&#x20AC;? a three-part series that appeared in The Press last year. Kaczala was the project manager.

The series, which consisted of a total of 18 articles, took an in-depth look at what caused Toledo in August 2014 to issue a three-day tap water ban to communities that consume city water after high levels of a toxin, microcystin, was detected in samples taken from Toledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water treatment plant.

The judge of the Community Awareness category made the following comments about the series winning the top award: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This news team is an excellent example of how a newsroom can champion a story to make life better for a community. Their thorough, understandable series informed and empowered readers to make a difference.â&#x20AC;?

For the second-place award for indepth reporting, the judge commented that the series was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beautiful, well thought out, with interesting and accessible stories that are easy to read.â&#x20AC;?

For the second-place feature award, the judge commented that â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reporters of The Press took on an ambitious project in developing a series of explanatory feature

Workplace articles that helped its readers understand the problems behind, and the results of, the toxic algae threatening Lake Erie.

April Showers Bring May Flowers! April showers also bring....Puddles! Hi, I'm pleased to meet you! I'm a six year old Siamese mix and my person and I lost our home - along with my four cat friends - when the trailer park where my dad lived was demolished. Our dad was going to have us euthanized because he thought it was kinder than turning us out on the streets. Luckily, the veterinarian office worked with local no-kill shelters to place us instead. I'm in a Maumee Valley SaveA-Pet foster home because the shelter was a little too overwhelming (so is my tabby friend Sissy). I'd love to meet you if you have a quiet home without young children. Please call Maumee Valley Save-A-Pet at 419-537-9663 to schedule a time to meet me or my friend Sissy.
