The Jobst Building
Charter school growing, moving By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The administration of the L. Hollingsworth School for the Talented & Gifted plans to start the 2014-15 school year in a new location. The charter school recently completed the purchase of a building at 653 Miami Street and several other parcels from the now defunct River East Economic Revitalization Corp. for $307,744, according to the Lucas County auditor records. Terrence Franklin, Hollingsworth’s head of school, said Tuesday that renovation work on the vacant building – which had housed offices and facilities of JOBST - is proceeding on schedule. “Our first day of the school year is August 27 and construction will be done by that time,” he said. The school has been in its current location at the former Sacred Heart School on Sixth Street for five years and has seen its enrollment grow from just under 100 students in grades K-6 to a projected 330 students for the coming school year up to the ninth grade. “We were desperately looking to stay on the East Side,” Franklin said. “We

A lawyer for Planet Aid, a non-profit group that collects clothing and shoes in recycling drop boxes across the country, has asked the City of Northwood to reconsider the removal of the boxes or it could face litigation. The city last year mailed letters to the owners of the collection boxes, as well as to the owners of properties where the boxes are located, to inform them they are in violation of the zoning code. The bins, described by Northwood as “accessory structures,” are not permitted by the Central Business District Zoning Code. “…you must remove any and all collection boxes currently located on your property…Failure to comply may result in further action, including, but not limited to, the removal of the boxes by the city,” stated the letter. The city has removed several boxes, which have cropped up mostly along commercial corridors over the years. The public has complained to city officials, calling them unsightly. Planet Aid’s lawyer, Daniel P. Dalton, of the Dalton & Tomich law firm in Detroit, sent a letter to City Administrator Bob Anderson on April 9 urging the city to reconsider the removal of the boxes. “As you are aware, my client has donation bins throughout the city and has had them in place for many years,” states Dalton in the letter. “My client entered into contracts with property managers to place a bin on the property and has since placed the clearly marked and properly maintained collection bin on the property.” He further states that his client was informed that the bins are a violation of the approved site plans for that business, and therefore must be removed. When asked if his client could submit a site plan for the placement of bins, the city indicated it would process the application but the request would be denied because Northwood “wants to ban all bins within its borders,”

have students from all over but we have a fair share from right here that come the East Side proper. We wanted to stay committed to the area but at the same time we were looking for ways to not only develop our program but also help and improve the community. We couldn’t think of a better way to help our needs as well as the needs of the community at same time. We are also very proud that our new building project will create new job opportunities.”’ If the projection for next year’s enrollment holds, it would be an increase of about 100 students from this year. “When we started we didn’t have any desire to go higher than sixth grade. Then we added seventh grade and then eighth,” Franklin said. “Then the question was, what about high school? So we decided to open a ninth grade this upcoming year. And
WARNING!
every year after we’ll add one high school grade level.” He attributes the growth to the school’s strong ties to students’ families and the local community. “I think we have created an environment where they feel empowered, they feel welcome. They feel that their children are growing and are receiving a great education. In everything we try to do we try to be inclusive and that everything is oriented towards family and community – those are our main pillars,” Franklin said. To that end, the school officials have already met with staff of the nearby Locke branch of the Toledo Lucas County Public Library to discuss the development of joint programs and Franklin said the building is being renovated to include space for meeting rooms that can be utilized by community and neighborhood groups. He estimates the building, once complete, will have a capacity for about 500 students in grades K-12. The “talented and gifted” part of the school name is a bit misleading, Franklin said. It is open to students of all levels of ability. The sponsor of the school is the Buckeye Community Hope Foundation.

Continued from front page states Dalton. “This is troublesome from both a legal and practical standpoint,â€? states Dalton. “We believe that through proper local regulation, the city can achieve its goal of regulating bins and avoid litigation.â€? He said a proposed ordinance would resolve the matter. “A local ordinance that regulates the placement of bins, the maintenance of bins and the consequences of failing to maintain permission to place a bin or maintain a bin, has proven to be workable for many communities,â€? states Dalton. “We have‌successfully litigated these cases across the United States when local communities do not desire to work together and the local community bans collection bins,â€? states Dalton. Anderson told The Press last week the city will not agree to work with Planet Aid to pass an ordinance or create land use regulations regarding the placement of clothing boxes or bins. The city, he added, is unwavering in its stance to ban bins that are accessory structures in violation of the zoning code. “It’s a zoning issue. I’m going to continue to do what we’re doing using our zoning laws to do it,â€? said Anderson. There are non-profit organizations that place bins on their properties that comply with the zoning code, he said. “Goodwill’s bins are actually an accessory use of their business, which is the collection and distribution of clothing to people. It’s a permitted use of that particular property. But you can’t put a clothing collection box at a gas station because that business of collecting clothing has nothing to do with selling gas. We’re not picking on Planet Aid. That’s been our stance all along. Zoning has pretty much withstood the test of courts. I think we’re fine in asking them to comply with our zoning laws.â€?

Cinco de Mayo day
Voters to decide on funding new school building A 4.9-mill bond issue combined with a 0.25 percent earned income tax for the Northwood Local Schools District will be on the May 6 primary election ballot. A similar bond issue and income tax proposal on last November’s ballot was defeated by just two votes. The money is needed to fund the construction of a 130,000 square foot building for prekindergarten through 12th grade. The state, as part of an Ohio School Facilities Commission project, would pay $11 million of the $33 million cost. Under Ohio law, districts must raise their portion of the funds before state funds can be released for the project. Plans call for the new building to be located at Lemoyne and Woodville roads, where the current schools are located. Lark, Northwood Elementary, Olney and the classroom section of the high school would be torn down. “The two story academic wing on the north side of the high school would come down,” said Superintendent Greg Clark. The high school common spaces, including the gym and auditorium, would be “buttoned up” for future student and community use. “Bringing everything under one roof is where the state and our committee came down as being the most efficient way for us to move forward for the next 50 years,” added Clark. “We’ll be a lot more efficient by operating just a single cafeteria and heating and cooling all in one place.” The state was not very supportive of building a new school at the present location, he said. “They had concerns that it is so close to I-280, that there are major rail lines to the south of the property, and a petroleum pipeline goes through the property along Lemoyne Road. The folks from Columbus described that property as perfect for industry,” he said. The present site is popular for residents because it is where the athletic facilities are located. Though the state has approved the current location, it still wants school officials to look for a better site. “They would like us to look for a more suitable central location,” he said. “They’re willing to let us put it on our current site as long as we don’t have the opportunity to build on property that is centrally located. And as of right now, we don’t have anything centrally located. If we pass the bond and income tax in May, we have a year of planning before any ground gets broken. If an opportunity for a central location becomes available at that time that is reasonably priced, we would have to look at it.” Aging buildings The current school buildings are in bad shape, said Clark. The oldest school, Northwood Elementary, was built in 1938. The cost to renovate the buildings is not

feasible. “All the schools have major needs as far as infrastructure upgrades,” said Clark. A couple of the schools still have cloth covered electrical wire and old fuses. And to clean the floors, the custodian must unplug laptop charging carts overnight to avoid blowing a fuse. “That’s how maxed out our power grid is in the buildings,” he said.

The event is being held to benefit the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a volunteer-driven charity dedicated to raising money for childhood cancer research. Worldwide, a child is diagnosed with cancer every three minutes, and one in five children diagnosed in the U.S. will not survive. With only 4 percent of all federal cancer research funding dedicated to pediatric cancer research, St. Baldrick’s Foundation mobilizes volunteers, supporters and donors to continue the battle against this devastating disease. This is the fifth annual Sandusky County EMS-hosted event. Each year, the Sandusky County Emergency Service that raises the most money gets the honor of hosting the event the next year.

placed on the staff and students. “Our kids are learning more now than they ever have. The challenge is that the world continues to move at a pace that is very difficult for institutions to keep up with. That’s true for schools, government institutions, churches. It’s a tough time for all institutions now because our whole world is shifting in the information age.” The district decided to go with a combined bond issue and earned income tax to reduce the burden on seniors in the community, according to Clark. The 0.25 percent earned income tax would not tax pensions or Social Security. “If we were to go with a straight property tax, it would have been a 6.9 mill levy to raise the same amount of money to put the facility plan in place,” he said. Clark is concerned the public is unaware how much expenses to build a new facility will rise in the future if the bond and income tax are not passed. “Clearly, I believe this is the right time to do this. The state of Ohio is willing to invest over $11 million right now with us. If we don’t take advantage of the opportunity to share those expenses, it’s going to just cost us more later. The issues with the buildings will not go away,” he said.

Author helped get film to the big screen By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Kenn Kaufman, an internationally renowned bird expert and a resident of Oak Harbor, worked as a consultant on the film A Birder’s Guide to Everything. The movie, which stars Ben Kingsley and James LeGros, is a coming-of-age comedy built around birding. It details a 15-yearold boy (played by Kodi Smit-McPhee) who embarks on a road trip with friends to try to document a possible sighting of a bird believed to be extinct. According to its website, the film is: “Sideways meets Stand by Me in this endearing story of friendship, family and a place in bird watching’s history books. A Birder’s Guide to Everything is an alternately poignant and funny window into the thoughtful world of birding and the inner peace that can be discovered through a walk in the woods.” Kaufman spoke highly about the film’s director, Rob Meyer. “Rob Meyer is a great guy, very talented,” Kaufman said. “He’s a graduate of the film program at NYU, he has traveled around the world doing documentaries for National Geographic and Nova, and his short films have won many awards. But he’s also a very decent human being. When I was on the set, I noticed how he made a point to personally thank everybody involved. Setting up scenes, he would listen respectfully to opinions before making the final decisions about how to handle a shot. Even though this is his first feature film, he’s already well liked and respected in the film industry.” According to Kaufman, it was Meyer’s reputation — and the quality of the screenplay, written by Meyer with Luke Matheny — that convinced the Oscarwinning actor Sir Ben Kingsley to appear in the film. But Kaufman’s respect for Meyer as a director also rests on Meyer’s attention to accuracy in the details of birding in the film. “(Rob) wrote to me in 2011,” Kaufman said. “He was in early drafts of the screenplay and he wanted birding experts to review it for accuracy. Morgan Tingley and I became the main consultants. We started corresponding and I read thru 2-3 different versions as the script evolved, with tons of emails and lots of phone calls back and forth. Then I had a number of conversations with the set designers about how different scenes should look. When it was filming, I went to NY and got to watch some of the filming for four days. There was an amazing amount of work in filming even a short scene — they might take a

12-hour day to shoot a 3-minute scene, but that’s because they were so focused on getting things right. Including the birding part! So often in other films and television, if they mention birding at all, they get the details wrong.” Kaufman’s official title in the credits was “ornithological consultant.” By definition, ornithology is the science of bird study. Early next month, May 6-15, birding enthusiasts will take part in what is known as the The Biggest Week in American Birding. Last year, 65,000 people journeyed to the Lake Erie marsh region to observe these creatures returning home. Meyer actually visited Oak Harbor during the Biggest Week last year and screened the film, just a couple of weeks after the film’s world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. “We had a packed house for that,” Kaufman said. “Rob gave a talk on the
making of the film and it got a really good reception.” I count myself as one of the many people that take for granted this special time of year, not thinking about how fortunate I am to live in such close proximity to a wildlife region that presents us with the opportunity to observe such beautiful animals. Kaufman, 59, who was born in South Bend, Ind., lived in Arizona before moving to Ohio in 2005. “In my late teens, I spent years hitchhiking and looking at birds,” he said. “I developed a reputation and I wrote for small nature publications in my 20s before getting my first book contract in my late 20s. After that, it made it easier to get into magazines when they’d seen my writing in other places.” Kaufman has written a dozen books, and regularly writes for several magazines. He is a field editor for Audubon Magazine and he and his wife, Kimberly, are consulting editors for Birds & Bloom Magazine. Kimberly works as the Executive Director for the Black Swamp Bird Observatory in Oak Harbor, Ohio. She has worked with the organization since the 1990s, and has served as the executive director since 2009. She also writes for various publications, including Birds & Blooms, and is the co-author of the Kaufman Field Guide to Nature of New England.

Bomb threat being investigated By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press Authorities are still investigating bomb threats that occurred at the end of the classes Monday at two Oak Harbor schools. No suspects have been found as of Wednesday, Oak Harbor Police Chief Steve Weirich said. Officers are attempting to trace the source of the calls made to the Oak Harbor High School and Middle School shortly after 2:30 p.m. They believe the calls were made by a cell phone that can’t be tracked, the chief said. “Fortunately it was at the end of the day when kids were getting ready to board buses,” the chief said. High school classes had ended so students were put on buses and sent home. Superintendent Guy Parmigian also cancelled all afternoon games and extracurricular activities.
Middle school students, however, were still in session and were evacuated to the nearby football field while law enforcement searched the building. They were later sent home also. Personnel from the Oak Harbor and Carroll Township police departments, Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department, Portage Fire District, Rocky Ridge Fire Department, Mid-County EMS and the Ottawa County Drug Task Force were at the school. Around 6:30 p.m., the Benton-CarrollSalem automatic phone system reported the “all clear” to concerned families throughout the district. “All those agencies … that’s a whole slew of agencies and manpower,” Weirich said, shaking his head in disbelief about the hoax that consumed the afternoon. Many of the departments are manned by volunteers who had to leave work to undertake the search and protect the children, the chief said.
The City of Northwood plans to hire an engineering firm to assess the cost of cleaning up property of an abandoned gas station at 4433 Woodville Rd. The former AP gas station, marked by rust and overgrown weeds, is deteriorated and endangers the health and safety of the general public, according to a public nuisance abatement order issued to the owners of the property. The failure to abate the nuisance within 48 hours gives the city the authority to abate the nuisance on its own. The purpose of the nuisance abatement order is to allow the city to apply to the Wood County Brownfields Coalition for a grant to pay for a Phase II U.S. EPA Brownfield assessment of the site to determine potential hazards so that the city can abate the nuisance. “We’re taking the opportunity afforded us by the Brownfields Coalition to clean up the property,” said City Administrator Bob Anderson. The city is in the process of taking bids to conduct a detailed study of the site, said Anderson. “The study entails drilling holes in the property to find out exactly what needs to be abated,” he said. “And that takes money. That may be available from the Coalition.” The city sent the nuisance abatement order by certified mail to the owner of the property, Millennium Properties and Holdings LLC, 35401 Grant Road, Romulus, Michigan, but there was no response. “In order for us to be able to begin the study, we needed to obtain the legal right to enter the property and begin the abatement of the nuisance,” he said. “We have fulfilled our obligation of notice. Fortyeight hours have passed, and we have not been contacted by then. So we feel we have the authority to enter onto the property and mitigate the nuisance. It’s a city law.” If awarded the grant, the city plans to hire an engineering firm to conduct a more in-depth study. “Part of it will involve drilling into the ground near the tanks, pulling up the soil and testing it for chemicals, mostly petroleum, to see if there has been any leakage from the tanks. If there is no leakage, it will be easy to clean up because all we will have to do is knock down the structures and dig up the tanks. If the tanks are leaking, the city will have to find out how far the contaminants have spread and how much it’s going to cost to clean up,” he said. “We will have to see how much it’s going to cost to dig it all up and take it to a proper place where it will be disposed of. And that would be more expensive,” said Anderson. “Basically, the only thing we’re doing now is getting an estimate of the cost of the cleanup, and that in itself is expensive. Anderson said he is unsure if there will be grants available to actually clean up the site. “We have to get figures of how much it will cost the city before we decide what we want to do,” he said. “If they say there is no leakage from the tanks, no indica-
Plant Exchange Oregon Fest organizers invite area gardeners to participate in the Give ‘n Take Plant Exchange Saturday, May 17 – the day before the Oregon Fest. The plant exchange will be held in the large tent near the corner of Dustin Road and Harbor Drive in Oregon. Area residents are invited to bring plants from their gardens to trade for what others bring. Labeled plants should be brought in pots, boxes or plastic bags for drop-off between 9 and 10 a.m. Those dropping off will receive tickets that can be redeemed for other plants to take home. Plant “shopping” and pick-up will run from 10-11:30 a.m. For information, email fest@bex.net or call 419-913-3337.
Safe boating class An Ohio Boating Education Course will be offered Saturday, May 17 from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. at Bass Pro Shops, 10000 Bass Pro Blvd., Rossford. The course covers a variety of boating topics such as navigation rules, boating and personal safety equipment, Ohio boating laws and more. Ohio law requires any person born on or after Jan. 21, 1982 to be able to show proof of successful completion of an approved boating safety education course if operating any watercraft powered by a motor greater than 10 horsepower.

tion of any petroleum being in the ground water, it would be a lot cheaper for us to somehow obtain the property. If there is major leakage, gas all over the site, we’re going to have to take a hard look on having anything to do with that. To get grants for actual clean up, you have to tie it into the creation of jobs. However, most of the EPA grants are for clean up of larger industrial sites, not small gas stations.” Dina Pierce, media coordinator with the Northwest District and Southwest District of the Ohio EPA, said there may be funding available to clean up the site. “A lot will depend on the location of the site, the type of contamination and the intended end use of the property,” said Pierce. “The initial assessment of the site will help identify where they should go seek funding for cleanup.” At no cost to the city, she said, Ohio EPA, through its Targeted Brownfields Assessment program, will do an initial assessment of the property to help determine whether there is any contamination on site. “The Ohio EPA will do the initial assessment free of charge, either with one of our own, or we will hire and pay for a private contractor to do it. ” The assessment includes drilling into the ground to take soil and groundwater samples, she added.

Chamber members meet
Atty. general Emergency training called vital, available warns of funeral scam By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com
Shootings in schools receive a lot of attention from the news media but over the past 30 years acts of violence in businesses and churches involving guns rank just as high, members of the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce were informed Thursday. Lt. Phil Cook, of the Toledo Police Department, said companies should consider ALICE (Alert Lockdown Inform Counter Evacuate) training for their personnel as it can be tailored for “any venue where people gather.” Instead of locking down a building and waiting for police to arrive, ALICE focuses on a more pro-active response. After the shootings in December 2012 at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Connecticut, school officials across the country began to “pull their heads out of the sand” and re-evaluate their emergency response plans, Lt. Cook said. The Toledo Police Department began changing its response tactics after the 1999 shootings in Columbine, Colorado, he said. Today, the ALICE Training Institute is headquartered in Medina, O. and Ohio is recognized as a leader in the training. Paul Mullen, Assistant Chief of the Oregon Fire Department, said his department is adopting ALICE training along with members of the city’s police department. He said there is a trend for emergency medical service personnel to “move into hot zones” to treat injured persons rather than wait for buildings or sites to be completely secured.
State plans to update facilities at parks By Press Staff Writer If you have an idea on how to improve Ohio State Parks, James Zehringer, director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, would like to hear from you. Zehringer and State Sen. Keith Faber last week said the state plans to invest about $88.5 million in capital improvements at state parks over the next two years. The ODNR has launched a website to accept ideas from the public at: parks. ohiodnr.gov/improvements. Visitors to the website can choose from a list of parks and will be asked what facilities they’d like to see updated. That list includes restrooms, lodges, cabins/cottages, pools, beaches, shower houses, campgrounds marinas/docks and shelter houses. The funds are being allocated for improvements and not for expanding the state park system, Zehringer said. Park facilities and lodges across the state will be improved, including bathrooms and campsites, which will be updated or replaced throughout much of the park system. “Ultimately, this money belongs to the taxpayers, and we’re going to make sure Ohioans have a voice as we improve our

parks,” Zehringer said. He said Ohio is one of seven states with free admission to parks and many residents turn to Ohio parks for hiking, fishing, swimming, boating, camping, horseback riding and more. Initiative praised Although the Ohio Clean Lakes Initiative has been in place less than a year, the state’s growers have made strides in implementing conservation practices that reduce soil run-off into waterways, Zehringer writes in a recent blog.
An allocation of $3 million for the Healthy Lake Erie Fund last year was used for the initiative and made it possible for agricultural run-off reduction measures to be installed on more than 35,000 acres in the Western Lake Erie Basin. “We have had a great amount of interest from farmers in the area about this initiative,” Zehringer said, noting by the end of 2014 farmers in the basin will have signed up to install more than 440 controlled drainage systems. “The farmers’ willingness to cooperate and collaborate on putting in agronomic practices has been instrumental in making this initiative so successful,” Zehringer said. “I also want to thank the local soil and water conservation districts in these counties (Defiance, Hancock, Henry, Putnam and Wood) for being willing to step up and help during this process.”
Sharing the bounty Lakewood Church of the Brethren will sponsor a “free” garage sale April 26 from 9 a.m.-noon. The church is located at 27009 Lemoyne Rd., a mile south of Lake High School. All items will be free, including adult and children’s clothes, toys, linens, furniture and other household items.

Sirens discussed City officials have been discussing the purchase of five more tornado sirens, he said, referring to problems with sirens not sounding when a tornado swept through the area last November. He urged chamber members to consider purchasing weather radios to receive alerts. Sirens, he said, are an alarm system for people who are outside. Northwood Fire Chief Joel Whitmore and Lake Township Police Chief Mark Hummer told the chamber that area departments have put a premium on mutual assistance. “We rely heavily on mutual automatic aid agreements,” Whitmore said, adding the Northwood department has such agreements with Rossford, Lake Township and the Allen-Clay fire departments and is working on an agreement with the department in Perrysburg. Area departments have also upgraded their communications equipment and ar-
en’t hampered as much as they were when they used systems with different frequencies. “We’ve come a long way with that,” Whitmore said. Business owners should have plans in place to address disaster scenarios and his department offers free CPR and fire extinguisher training. The response to the June 2010 tornado that so heavily damaged Lake Township exemplifies the level of cooperation between agencies, Hummer said. Urban Search and Rescue teams from Cleveland and Toledo were in the township within hours. In all, 39 police departments and more than 80 fire departments responded in the days after the tornado hit. “Together we can handle anything,” he said. “Regionalism is where it’s at. From the smallest village to the largest city. We work together.” He said police and fire departments in northern Wood County have aligned their radio systems with the Lucas County system – a move that allows them to communicate with agencies throughout the state. Det. Jeff Goetz, of the Walbridge Police Department, said his department’s decision to utilize social media like Facebook has helped both with crime solving and alerting the public to emergencies. Walbridge may be a small village but its proximity to rail yards make it a potential target for terrorism, he said. He called tanker cars a potential bomb and said officers frequently conduct foot patrols along train tracks. “We have to be pretty vigilant watching those train tracks,” he said.

Scammers use a variety of tactics to make their “offers” seem legitimate, including phony emails containing malicious links. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine reports that consumers receiving legitimate-looking emails with subject lines such as “Funeral Notification” or “Passing of Your Friend.” The emails appear to originate from a funeral home. Once the consumer clicks on the link to view the obituary, the link installs malicious software called “malware” onto his or her computer. Malware allows scammers to scan hard drives for personal information, such as Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, and credit and debit card numbers. In other variations of the scam, the subject line may read something along the lines of “Urgent Court Notice” or “Eviction Notice.” Scammers also use phone scams to obtain personal information from consumers. They may text consumers, pretending to be a cellular phone provider. The consumer may respond to the text with private account information or go to a legitimate-looking website via a link provided in the text and enter his or her account information. However, the texts and websites are fake, and they lead consumers to disclose their account information. This, in turn, can be used to rack up charges. Reports to the IRS Inspector General suggest that scammers are contacting unsuspecting consumers via phone calls and posing as IRS agents. The scammer claims the consumer owes taxes and threatens arrest, loss of a driver’s license, or deportation if payment isn’t immediately provided via wire transfer or prepaid card. Consumers who receive such a phone call should hang up immediately. Attorney General DeWine offers these tips for steering clear of scams: • Delete any suspicious emails without clicking on attachments or links. If you need to find out about a matter such as the possible loss of a friend, contact the family or a funeral home at a phone number you know is legitimate. • Similarly, if you receive an unexpected phone call from a business or government agency requesting personal information or payment, hang up. Call the organization using a number you know is legitimate. Keep in mind that scammers can use a tactic called “spoofing” to disguise the number displayed on your caller ID. • Maintain your anti-virus program by installing updates. These updates could include security patches developed to help keep your information safe. Consumers who suspect a scam should contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Office at 800-282-0515.

The Press Poll
Do you feel your communities are repairing potholes fast enough?
Will you be attending the "Biggest Week in Birding?" Yes No
To cast your ballot, go to www.presspublications.com Gil Vasquez Millbury "No, because I run over a lot of them still and I feel they are a hazard."
Charlotte Perlaky Northwood "I feel like Ottawa and Wood County kinda have their stuff together, but Lucas County just isn't participating. I own a business in Toledo and the road our school is on, is just terrible."
Other options needed To the editor: On May 6, the administration of Northwood Schools will be trying once again to put the tax-paying citizens of Northwood on the hook for $21.5 million for a new school And we still haven’t seen any new information on “all the options” that were considered. It’s worth mentioning again that this 4.9 mil levy will last 37 years and the 1/4 percent earned income tax increase will never go away – that’s right, it’s permanent. I for one don’t believe that a community can tax itself into prosperity, and I’m opposed to trying to do so. I would ask the voters to consider this; how many students in Northwood are there through open enrollment? What happens if that number drops? Of course, that money follows those students and their parents don’t feel the pinch from the levy or income tax. I’ve heard arguments from the pro-levy side that a new school will make the community more attractive to potential residents. I believe that most potential homebuyers check out the property taxes and income tax rates when looking to move and Northwood’s property taxes are already extremely high. It’s not only homeowners who will feel the burden of this property tax, but renters will also experience it when the landlords have to increase rents to cover it. We hear about how the state will fund $11.5 million and we only have to pay the other 65 percent. It’s my understanding that Rossford and Oregon have declined this state money. Could it be that there are “strings” attached to it? While there may be a need for better facilities, I believe not all options have been considered and those that were explored were not studied in sufficient detail. I would like to see more options considered before asking the taxpayers to foot the bill for such a large expense. If we consider the existing facilities past their useful life due to their age, by expanding that reasoning the new building will need to be replaced not long after it’s paid off. It’s the quality of the instructors and not the age of the facilities that benefits the students. The superintendent has stated that merging with other school districts was not even considered; while not a popular option, why should the taxpayers and homeowners of Northwood be asked to foot this onerous bill when not all options were considered and not all questions have been answered. I urge the voters of Northwood to let the administration know we want to see more fiscal responsibility by voting “no” on the proposed school levy this May 6. Matthew Tewers Northwood
‘Disposable’ buildings? To the editor: I encourage voters to vote against the Northwood School Levy. This levy is for replacement of the existing buildings with a single, all-grades building. My objection to this levy is twofold. One, the levy is composed of a millage request for 37 years and a ¼ percent income tax. The fact that the income tax portion is a permanent income tax was not clearly presented to the citizens. In an effort to appease the senior citizens, the tax is not on retirement income. However, if the senior needs to or has chosen to continue to work, that earned income will be taxed. This income tax does not give consideration for the working elderly and it effectively raises the

income tax in Northwood to 1.75 percent. One of the benefits of living in Northwood has been the lower income tax. This action on the part of the school leadership begins to erode one the benefits of living in Northwood. My second objection is, buildings are not disposable. One of the buildings to be destroyed is only 50 years old. Does this mean that at the end of the 37 years, we will only get 12 years of useful life from the new building? Buildings do not a good education guarantee and it doesn’t make sense to tear down buildings simply because the state is offering a small portion of the building expense. In Northwood, this represents about one third of the total cost, and yet we must comply with building standards set by the State, even though the taxpayers would be the majority investor. In addition, I am opposed to a combined elementary and high school building. I have other concerns as well about the number of students in our system. Over the years, the number of students who actually live in Northwood, and whose parents pay taxes in Northwood, has declined. This decline is being offset by open enrollment students whose parents do not share in the financial responsibility for maintaining our school system. Peggy Barton Northwood
Issue 1 support urged To the editor: On May 6, residents of Ottawa County will have the opportunity to vote yes on Issue 1 to support and continue a vital program to repair, maintain and upgrade the roads, bridges, water and sewer infrastructure so important to the Ottawa County economy. Since its inception in 1987, the State Capital Improvements Program administered at the local level has provided more than $30.6 million to Ottawa County communities, which, through matching funds and grants, has yielded infrastructure repairs and improvements in excess of $184 million. Every community, be it county, township, city and village, has received funding for their constituencies’ needs. Local officials evaluate and score the projects submitted on a county basis and pass the best projects to the district level. With the pool of funds available at the district level, the best projects receive grants and lands to the betterment of the local partners. This is truly an example of how government best operates – local people providing local direction for needed local infrastructure. I strongly urge you, the beneficiaries of this extremely successful program, to vote yes on Issue 1 on May 6 to continue funding for our local needs. As we are all aware, local government serves local needs. David Brunkhorst PE, RS Ottawa County Engineer
Money questions To the editor: Recent letters questioned conservative candidates efforts to raise funds. If you want to talk about money raised to support candidates consider the last two presidential elections and President Obama receiving millions of dollars from Wall Street. Have you noticed all the fundraising trips President Obama is taking on your
dime around the country? Environmental groups are spending money on candidates and the Koch brothers are spending money as well – primarily on those who support the construction of the Keystone pipeline project, which will create jobs. As for Caterpillar, Inc. and Switzerland; we have one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world. Lower it and eliminate the tax loopholes. Many companies have left the U.S. for inexpensive labor. Who signed the North American Free Trade Act and helped normalize relations with Vietnam where many jobs have gone? Bill Clinton. As a country we need to come together with solutions to create jobs and fund our local governments. That is what we should focus on. Brad DeMaison Oak Harbor
Obvious argument
To the editor: The argument for the school levy in Northwood seems obvious; we have school buildings that are 50 and 75 years old with antiquated plumbing and wiring systems. There may also be asbestos in the structures. The State of Ohio is giving us 35 percent of the funds. Not only will the new school be a nicer environment but it will also be safer and more technologically advanced. Although there is no guarantee, I would think that if the citizens of Northwood would invest in the future of our children and our community, it would attract new homeowners and new business owners to invest as well. Plus our property values may go up, certainly not down and if you want to sell your home it may not take as long. The arguments against the levy have been that people on fixed retirement incomes cannot afford the increase in income tax. In fact, their income will not be affected. The cost for a family with a $100,000 home and $50,000 income is about $300 per year. Not unaffordable. If we do not pass the levy in May we will have to figure out how to renovate the schools. Is that really how we want our money spent when we can have brand new state-of-the-art educational facilities? Let’s put Northwood on the map again – vote yes on May 6. Cheryl Mecchi Northwood
Disappointed To the editor: I have personally attempted to contact our Oregon school superintendent, Mr. (Lonny) Rivera by emailing the letter below, to no avail. I feel this message is important enough to share with the community. Dear Mr. Rivera: I just got home a few minutes ago from the National Honor Society’s induction and installation ceremony at Clay High School. I was especially proud to be there, as my granddaughter, Allison Susor, is the current president and presided over the ceremony. The students were well represented by Clay High School Principal James Jurski and various teachers who spoke highly of each and every student. I am very proud of the students and their accomplishments, both academically and socially. It was also a pleasure to see at least one of our school board members, Heather
Miller, in attendance. On a night to honor our brightest and best academic students in Clay High School, I am embarrassed by the absence of not only our school board members but also our superintendent and administrative team. I feel it would have been such a bonus not only to the students, but the parents and families of those scholars as a show of support from the school administration. We obviously do not hold the academic standards of our students with such high esteem, it appears. Sandy Susor Oregon
Follow the money To the editor: In her letter in the April 14 issue, “Courting a billionaire,” Joann Schiavone writes of “more clowns from the party” going to Sin City to ask for money. It was unclear if she was suggesting that the “clowns” belonged to just the Republican party or if she is including the “clowns” (her words) from the Democratic party in her comments. If she was not including the “other” party, I would suggest she Google “George Soros” and follow the money. Vicki Horvath Genoa
Election policy In order to provide for fair comment, The Press will have the following policy covering election letters to the editor: The last issue for letters regarding the May 6 primary election will be the second issue (April 28) before the election. No letters will be published in the issue immediately prior (May 5) except for letters limited to direct rebuttal of election-related matters appearing in the April 28 paper. No new political information can be introduced in the issue immediately before the election. This is to prevent inaccuracies without a fair chance for correction. Letters are limited to ballot issues. The Press does not print letters about candidates’ races. Letters should be no more than 300 words and include a phone number and address for verification purposes. No anonymous letters will be printed. The deadline is Wednesday, Noon.

Biggest Week in American Birding starts the tourist season The first wave of warblers is here and with them come the first wave of some 70,000 visitors from around the globe. Kim Kaufman, executive director of the Black Swamp Bird Observatory, said visitors from as far away as The United Kingdom, Ecuador, Panama, Canada and Alaska have already registered for workshops and tours during The Biggest Week in American Birding May 6-15, held at Maumee Bay State Park, Magee Marsh and Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. The Biggest Week festival is the big draw during the warbler migration which runs from mid-April to mid-May. Birders flock to the Lake Erie marshes to see, photograph and add to their life lists a stunning array of colorful song birds. In 2011, they identified 231 species. The festival is not only a boon for birders, it also provides an economic boost to our area by kicking off the tourist season a month before the walleye, perch and bass fishermen descend on the lake and the partiers flock to the Lake Erie Islands. Kaufman says the economic impact is estimated at some $37 million. But, the Biggest Week is about more than our enjoyment. It is about the birds. No birds, no festival. So, Kaufman and the staff at Black Swamp Bird Observatory see the biggest week as an opportunity to educate the public about the importance of maintaining bird habitat and the negative impact cats, improperly sited wind turbines, and helium balloons and Chinese lanterns can have on birds. But, getting back to you — the birder or potential birder. The Biggest Week is full of workshops, field trips, guided tours and special events. Highlights include the showing of the movie “A Birder’s Guide to Everything” starring Sir Ben Kingsley, the Oscar Award winning actor. Kenn Kaufman, nationally renowned birding expert, author of numerous field guides and an Oak Harbor resident, worked as a consultant on the movie. It will be shown Monday, May 12 at 7 p.m. at Maumee Bay Lodge.
Tens of thousands of birding enthusiasts, like these at Metzger Marsh, arrive here from around the world for the spring migration. (Press file photo by Ken Grosjean) The father-daughter team of artists, Adam and Madison Grimm, will talk about their paintings, which were chosen for this year’s Federal Duck Stamp. Adam won the adult division and Madison, age 7, became the youngest contestant to win the Federal Junior Stamp Contest. They will appear at Maumee Bay Lodge Saturday, May 10 from 5 to 7 p.m. Joel Greenberg, author of five books, will give this year’s keynote address and sign copies of his book, A Feathered River across the Sky: The Passenger Pigeon’s Flight to Extinction. Guided bus tours will take birders between the marshes and out to Pearson and Oak Openings Metroparks and other
hot spots in Marblehead, Catawba and Sandusky County. There are also trips to Point Pelee, Pt Mouillee and Kelleys Island. Maumee Bay State Park will once again serve as the headquarters and is the site for many of the workshops and booth exhibitors. These include vendors displaying binoculars, scopes and other birder gear as well as tour companies that specialize in birding trips to such places as Ecuador, Tanzania, Kenya, India, Thailand, Peru, Nepal and Alaska. If you think you need to be an expert to enjoy birding, think again. Take a few hours out of your day and drive out to the Magee Marsh boardwalk. To give you an idea of what you can see in one day, consider what
Tom Bartlett sees annually on Migratory Bird Day. The retired teacher from Tiffin conducts his annual Big Sit fundraiser on a step-ladder in a 17-foot diameter circle. From that vantage point, Bartlett saw 98 species last year. People watching and cataloging license plates can also open your eyes to the sometimes unappreciated tourism asset we have in our backyard. Last year birders drove in from 46 states and six Canadian provinces and flew in from 13 countries including China, Australia, Belgium, Sweden and Finland. The Lake Erie marshes will continue to grow in importance to our economy as the baby Boomers retire and add birds to their life lists. In a typical year, some 230 different species can be seen here during the migration as these birds stop to rest and feed before crossing the Great Lakes. According to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, 20 percent of all Americans are involved in the hobby, either by erecting backyard feeders, visiting local parks or taking bird trips. Kaufman says conservation of bird habitat is not only important to birders, but also to the small businesses that house, feed and otherwise serve the birders. She also says our long and brutal winter won’t affect the migration. That is dictated by weather conditions in South America and the Caribbean where the warblers winter.

Don’t be an observer, start participating in your own life Participating in your life gets you headed in your desired direction. Not participating in your life leaves you drifting, subject to the whims of fate, chance, or circumstances. Those who don’t participate, think and act like victims. They make excuses for why they aren’t happy while blaming other people, circumstances, and situations. These people act as bystanders while their life passes them by. Participating in your life means making things happen rather than passively watching what happens or waiting to see what happens. If you have a car and want to go somewhere, you would get behind the wheel. It’s obvious that sitting in the passenger seat, waiting for the car to go somewhere, is not an effective strategy. After you are positioned in the driver’s seat, you must start the car before you can go anywhere. You need to have a specific destination in mind. Your car must remain on the road. If it’s stuck in a ditch, your wheels will just spin. As you are driving, your eyes must focus on the road ahead. Adjustments have to be made
Dare to Live
without
Limits
by Bryan Golden in reaction to changing road and weather conditions. You want to stay on course in order to arrive at your destination. If a road is blocked, you have to take a detour. Putting more fuel in the car as needed keeps you going. If, when you arrive at your destination, you decide you don’t like it, you are free to go someplace else. Participating in your life requires the same strategies as driving. You need to have goals, create a plan to achieve them, and then take action. You must get started and move forward, making adjustments as needed. If you drift off course, do what it takes to get back on track. Don’t spin your wheels by staying busy
without making progress towards your goals. Becoming stuck in the past is no different than attempting to drive by looking out of the rear window. Recharging your attitude to keep it positive is as essential as filling your car’s gas tank. It’s important to participate in your life daily. Today is the day that matters. Learn from your past. Take action to prepare for the future. It is action that enables you to make things happen. Only by doing what it takes in order to get what you want, are your goals obtainable. Change is inevitable. The unpredictable happens. Those who participate in their lives make adjustments rather than excuses. You can’t control external circumstances but your response is up to you. Take responsibility for your life. You can see the person in charge by looking in the mirror. Mistakes are an opportunity to grow and improve. Get up and keep going after you stumble or fall. There is a solution for every problem. Giving up only ensures failure. Let go of anger, bitterness, and resent-
ment. They are poisons that cause you great harm. You have no control over the actions of others. They have no power over you unless you give it to them. Have fun. Life is not meant for suffering. If your current path is not enjoyable, make changes. It’s never too late to make adjustments. Time goes by too fast to put things off. Participation is the road to happiness. Pro-activity empowers you to direct your life. Keep your eyes on your path. There is no benefit to drifting aimlessly. Honestly assess where you are now. Determine what needs to be done in order to arrive at where you would really like to be. Keep moving forward, one step at a time. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www.

Cinderella (Serena Kavanaugh) consults her attorney, Mr. Bonanza (John Hirt).
Mock trial drama
Cinderella gets justice against stepfamily Storybook characters are no longer willing to settle for a “happily ever after” when they can get an attorney and sue for damages. St. Boniface Catholic School students experienced this judicial process by participating in the mock trial “Cinderella vs The Tremain Family” during a recent visit to the Ottawa County Courthouse. Judge Kathleen Giesler presided over the proceedings while students played the roles of Cinderella, the Prince, the Tremain Family and the attorneys, bailiff and members of the jury. Cinderella (Serena Kavanaugh), now married to the Prince (Michael Judge) and able to wear a ball gown and tiara every day, recalled bitterly the days when she dressed in rags and slept in the fireplace. She accused the Tremain family of treating her as an unpaid servant forced to do tedious and dangerous tasks, and demanded the wages she should have received while she lived with them. Lady Tremain (Teresa Rosiak) and her daughters (Isabella Reeves and Victoria Fuzinski) claimed Cinderella was asked to do the normal household chores required of any family member, and was not entitled to anything above the food and clothing she received.

Agents with the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s (ODPS) Ohio Investigative Unit are urging teens and parents to keep alcohol out of upcoming prom and graduation celebrations. “As a parent of two adult children, I can tell you this time in your children’s lives is one of the most memorable for you and for them,” said ODPS Director John Born. “As a retired member of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, I can also tell you this time of celebration can easily turn into a time of tragedy because of the increased occurrences of underage drinking that may tempt your child at after-prom parties and graduation celebrations.” To help foster good choices, parents and teens need to understand Ohio’s underage drinking laws. • It is illegal to provide a place for your child and his/her friends to drink in a “safe” environment. In fact, parents may not provide alcohol to children who are under 21, who are not their own, even in their own home with the other parents’ permission. Those convicted of providing alcohol to a person under 21 years of age face maximum sentences of six months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. • It is illegal to purchase alcohol for anyone under 21. Anyone who purchases, sells or gives alcoholic beverages to underage individuals faces a $1,000 fine and/or up to six months in jail. • If you are under 21 and are caught driving with a blood alcohol concentration of .02 percent or higher, a level that can be reached after just one or two drinks, you can be arrested. Punishment is suspension of your driver’s license for at least 90 days, up to a maximum of two years, plus four points added to your driving record. Having an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle is also illegal. “Together, we must commit to making a safer Ohio, by stopping senseless tragedies associated with irresponsible and illegal underage alcohol consumption,” Born said. To report information about a bar, store or carryout selling beer and/or liquor to persons under the age of 21, or an underage house party, call the Ohio Investigative Unit at #677 on your cell phone and your complaint will be investigated.
Cinderella’s searing testimony caused such outrage from the Tremain sisters that Judge Giesler was forced to call for order in the court. After the jury was dismissed, both sides continued to bicker and hurl insults at one another. Attorney Mr. Bonanza (John Hirt) was confident that the jury would rule in Cinderella’s favor. Ms. Preservator (Grace Johnson) was not so certain of a victory for the Tremain family. “Everyone already knows the story,” she said. “And they made Lady Tremain look really mean.”
“She didn’t have to sleep in the fireplace,” huffed Lady Tremain, “she chose to sleep there.” After a brief deliberation, the jury decided firmly in Cinderella’s favor on the grounds that she could have been hurt and should not have had to do all the work by herself. “They just should have shared,” said juror Broch Mansor. T h i r d - g r a d e r Sydney Young’s favorite part was being on the jury. “It was interesting to learn from the mock trial what would happen in a real trial,” she said. Katie Glenn also liked being in the jury box. “It was fun seeing the judge and hearing the attorneys object.” Brenda Brahier, multi-age classroom teacher, said the mock trial is a tradition at St. Boniface that the students look forward to every year. Students also visited the sheriff’s office and jail where they particularly enjoyed learning about 911 calls and fingerprinting. St. Boniface Catholic School serves students in grades K-6 of all religions, racial, ethnic and income backgrounds.

Kindergartners explore languages of the world By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press news@presspublications.com R. C. Waters Elementary kindergartners students explored languages of the world with the help of some older friends. Earlier this month, members of foreign language studies classes at Oak Harbor High School took a break from their regular routines to teach the younger children of the Benton-Carroll-Salem School District. The three-day event occurred while the regular teachers took part in the kindergarten roundup at the school. The young students concentrated on basics, including the words for colors, numbers and animals in lessons in Spanish, French and German. The languages were divided over the three days of the roundup, starting with Spanish on Monday, Principal Karen Gruber said. Weather forced the postponement of the French session on Tuesday when a three-inch spring snow blanketed the region, causing a two-hour school delay. The class was rescheduled for Thursday. Seniors David Birchall, Hannah Hess, Amanda Hetrick and Nicole Weis took charge of the German session. Birchall, a member of the German-American Society and regularly attendee of the annual German-American Festival, says sharing his interest in the language seemed a natural fit. He and his peers passed out dishes of paint colors to begin what became an entertaining language lesson. They explained numbers, color names and helped draw a myriad of animal pictures that the teens offered translations for from English to German. “I don’t know if I know the name for a Minecraft bear in German,” Birchall told the substitute, Mrs. Barman. The kindergartners created many animals – squids, ostriches, sharks, bunnies and tigers, calling out the names. Their high energy engulfed the room. “You draw a cat better than I do,” Birchall told Mya Huether. “That’s because,” she exclaimed as she thrust her paper into the air with accomplishment. “I’m an artist.” Keeping 5- and 6-year-olds on track is difficult in the best of circumstances with professionals at the helm, still, the teens managed pretty well in the first session of five morning programs. “It was fun. They’re very talkative,” Hess chuckled as they headed down the hallway to a new classroom. “But they don’t have a very long attention span.” During the Spanish session, students enjoyed the lesson about colors, Barman said. “It was nice because the crayons had the names in Spanish on them. The kids picked up on that,” she said. The collaboration between grade levels grew out of the aspirations of the Intra-District Goals Committee, according to B-C-S board member Heather Dewitz, a committee member. The committee is a catchall group charged with duties such as finding ways to heighten community awareness of school district activities, merging different grade levels in projects and pulling outsiders into the fold of the educational system. Years ago, kindergartners did not attend school during the roundup. Now they do but classes are overseen by substitute teachers while prospective students undergo testing in nearby rooms and the cafeteria. “We talked about doing something different this year,” Dewitz said. And, “I’m up for trying new things,” Gruber said. Feedback has been positive in this experimental event, she said. “The foreign language teachers were excited because they don’t usually get asked to do things like this,” Dewitz added. Unfortunately, Dewitz said, work obligations prevented her from observing the language lessons personally. She trusts the project will lead to more events like this. “The older students get something out of it, teaching to the younger kids, and the younger students get something out of it, learning from the older students. And I think there’s value in that,” Dewitz said.

EcoErek sets denim, shoe drives Thirteen year-old Erek â&#x20AC;&#x153;EcoErekâ&#x20AC;? Hansen has launched his annual campaign to keep unwanted denim and shoes out of the local landfills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to get started collecting unwanted denim and shoes again to recycle,â&#x20AC;? the Curtice youth said. Hansen welcomes stained, holey, pasttheir-prime denim clothing items and unwanted, worn out, too-big, or too-small shoes of any kind, condition, color or size. Denim makes it to the Blue Jeans Go Green (www.BlueJeansGoGreen.org), previously named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cotton. From Blue to Green,â&#x20AC;? which turns old jeans into new Ultra Touch Denim Insulation. One hundred percent of the insulation is donated to natural disaster victims. To date, Blue Jeans Go Green has diverted more than 600 tons of waste out of landfills and generated approximately 2 million square feet of insulation to assist with building efforts in communities in need. The shoes are sent to USAgain (www. usagain.com), pronounced use-again, which collects household textiles, shoes and clothing for recycling, reuse and repurpose. This will be Erekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixth summer holding recycling drives. In the past 12 months, he has been named a finalist in The Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes, in Boulder, Colorado and spoke to students at Ohio State University about the importance of recycling. Erek, whose smiling face has appeared several times amid mountains of donated denim, collected 4,477 pairs of jeans and 4,269 pairs of shoes in 2013. Collectively over the five previous
summers, he has recycled almost 20,000 pairs of jeans and over 11,000 pairs of shoes, which is enough denim to insulate 40 homes. His goal for 2014 is to redirect 4,000 pairs of jeans and 4,000 pairs of shoes from the landfill. A donor at the first drive will likely share a milestone with Erek as he looks to collect his 20,000th pair of jeans. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll kick off the 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x153;collection seasonâ&#x20AC;? at the Toledo Zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Party for the Planet,â&#x20AC;? which will be held April 26 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Only denim will be collected. Other opportunities to donate denim and shoes of any kind, condition, color or size include: â&#x20AC;˘ June 7, noon-6 p.m., Levis Commons, Perrysburg (in front of the Cinemas) on Saturday (denim and shoes). â&#x20AC;˘ June 14, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., The Future Wave Salon, 3324 Navarre Ave., Oregon (denim and shoes). For 2014 drop boxes are located at The Future Wave, CC Bella salon, 530 Commerce Blvd., Northwood and Once Upon A Child locations in Perrysburg and Sylvania. Donations may be dropped off through Labor Day during normal business hours. Those interested in holding a drive for either denim or shoes at a workplace/ church/service group, etc. in June, July or August, may email info@ecoerek.org and Erek will coordinate drop off/pick up of your collected items. Keep track of Erekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress at www. ecoerek.org, and www.facebook.com/ EcoErek.

Bird Metroparks Metroparks are popular with birds – and birders – especially this time of year. The Lake Erie coastal zone. The Maumee River corridor. The incredibly rare Oak Openings Region. Nine Metroparks preserve some of the region’s most important natural areas. Oak Openings is home to more rare and endangered plants and animals than anywhere else in Ohio. Pearson (North) and the river parks are excellent places to view water-loving birds. Windows on Wildlife in six parks are warm, dry places to view birds at feeding stations. Spend your life in the Metroparks.

Coach Wilker gets win No. 500
Lake’s pitching could be difference in league title chase Despite his team’s hot start, Lake baseball coach Greg Wilker isn’t ready to proclaim the Flyers as the best team in the Northern Buckeye Conference just yet. The Flyers are 11-2 and 2-0 in the NBC with a 9-0 victory over Rossford behind a one-hit, 12-strikeout performance by senior right-hander Jayce Vancena on Monday. “We’ve played some young teams, so we will find out more the next couple weeks,” Wilker said. “We have Genoa, Eastwood (coming up) and teams with some older kids that are going to be tough to beat. I told the kids (Tuesday) we had a good practice and let’s try to work hard every day to keep improving. There are only five or six weeks left in the season. Each week try and get yourself in position where the games are important. That’s our goal.” Wilker, now in his 30th year, got his 500th career win Thursday night in a 19-4 Flyer blowout in a non-league contest over Sandusky Bay Conference member Port Clinton. Wilker's team finished tied for second place in the NBC behind Otsego last year, but this season’s Flyers aren’t far removed from their 2012 conference championship season. Eight starters return from last year’s team, including six seniors. “They like being around each other,” Wilker said. “The camaraderie is very good.
They enjoy practicing with each other and they pull for each other, and that’s a good sign. I’m not surprised so far. I have six seniors and they’re all starters, and a couple who have been with me for three or four years and they know what it takes to win. You can’t replace that experience.” The Flyers, who won 15 games last season, have the offense, defense and pitching staff to make a lot of noise this postseason. Lake lost to Genoa, 3-2, in last year’s sectional finals. Vancena is the team’s clear No. 1 on the mound. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound University of Michigan recruit, who throws a curveball and change-up to complement his 90-plus-mph fastball, is 4-0 with a 0.25 ERA. “He’s been pretty dominant, especially his last two outings,” Wilker said. In 28 innings Vancena has 53 strikeouts and has allowed just seven hits and four walks. He threw a no-hitter in Lake’s 9-0 NBC win over Elmwood, striking out 16. Lake’s No. 2-3 pitchers are junior Todd Walters and senior left-hander Brad Ackerman. Walters is 3-0 with a 0.47 ERA
and 11 strikeouts in 15 innings. Ackerman is 2-1 with a 3.41 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 14.1 innings. “Todd is a great competitor and just keeps us in ballgames,” Wilker said. “He’s not overpowering like Jayce. He’s only a junior and he’s learning how to pitch. Brad is quite capable, he’s just inconsistent right now. He is capable of throwing some outstanding ballgames.” Senior Cody Witt, junior Connor Bowen and Ackerman can all pitch in relief. Senior catcher Nick Walsh, a twoyear starter, has been solid behind the plate. “His improvement handling pitchers, blocking balls, has been a big plus for us this year,” Wilker said. “He’s a big reason for our success. He has a very good arm and our pitchers have done a nice job keeping runners close. We’ve done a nice job shutting down other teams’ running game.” Through 12 games, cleanup hitter Vancena leads the Flyers with a .389 average, with three doubles, two triples, nine runs and 14 RBI. Vancena plays first base and designated hitter when he’s not pitching.

Witt, who starts at second base, is hitting .366 from the No. 2 spot in the lineup. He has eight runs and is second on the team with 12 RBI. “Cody is a tough out at the plate,” Wilker said. “He’s what I like to call a grinder. He’s going to give you a quality atbat. He puts the bat on the ball and is willing to take a couple pitches to allow our leadoff hitter (Adam Duncan) to steal some bases. And, he’s an excellent defensive second baseman. With him and Connor Bowen at shortstop, we’re pretty strong up the middle.” Senior first baseman Anthony Pratt (.361) has two home runs “and has been very good defensively,” Wilker said, adding that senior Joel Densic (.361) has played “an outstanding defensive third base.” “Our defense has been pretty good,” the coach said. “I’m pretty pleased with where we’re at there.” Lake’s outfield consists of sophomore Aaron Witt (.318) in left, Duncan in center and Ackerman (.275) in right. Duncan is hitting just .286 but has scored 19 runs with eight steals and a .490 on-base percentage. Wilker said he has high hopes for a strong run to end the regular season and into the tournament. “I do every year,” he said. “I’m pretty optimistic. This year, with six senior (starters) and kids who have played a lot and who want to be good, I have high expectations for this team.”

Howard Team MVP At the Florida State University women’s basketball team banquet, the Matthew Schmauch Leadership Award was given to senior Natasha Howard (Waite), who exited her career as one of the top players in FSU history. Despite being so dominant on the court and garnering multiple All-America honors, Howard proved to be extremely unselfish and was the consummate teammate. She led by example in one of the top singleseason performances ever by a Seminole.
APRIL 28, 2014

Howard also left the banquet with MVP honors, yet another accolade she can add to her impressive collegiate resume before she plays for the Indiana Fever in the WNBA. Howard became just the second Seminole to earn multiple All-America honors. She was named a WBCA Honorable Mention All-American, an Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American and a Senior CLASS Second Team All-American. She wrapped up her career with 41 doubledoubles, a school record. The Seminoles achieved several feats in their most recent season, finishing with a 21-12 overall record to mark their eighth 20-win season under 17-year coach Sue Semrau. FSU reached the NCAA second round for the 11th straight time it has entered postseason play, earning a No. 10 seed in the field of 64. Howard is set to make her WNBA debut for the Fever in a preseason game against the Washington Mystics on May 5 at noon. Her first regular season contest will be at the Chicago Sky on Friday, May 16, at 8:30 p.m.
Apel, Nutter in all-star game According to a press release from JJHuddle.com, more than 140 of the best high school football players in Ohio were on display Saturday, April 26 when the Ohio North-South Classic was held at Dayton’s Welcome Stadium for the second straight year. This year’s North-South Classic featured two games, the Division IV-VII game and the Division I-III game. Playing for the North in the Division IV-VII game were two Genoa seniors — 6-foot-3, 284 pound defensive tackle Lucas Apel and 6-1, 227 pound running back David Nutter. Nutter has already committed to play football at Malone University. As the longest running high-school football all-star game in the nation, the 69th Annual Ohio North-South Classic is widely recognized as the leading all-star game in the Midwest and among the best in the country. This was the second straight year that the game was played in Dayton’s Welcome Stadium. This year’s game again featured a majority of the state’s top-ranked graduating seniors, including Ohio State signees Parris Campbell of Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary and Brady Taylor of Columbus Ready.

New coach looks to return Waite into winning program By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Dan Chipka practically has the numbers memorized – 2-8, 2-8, 4-6, 4-6, 3-7, 1-9, 0-10. Those are the season records for Waite’s football team covering the past seven years. Chipka, who was hired to replace Gardner Howard as the Indians’ head coach, wants to turn Waite into a winner. So did every other coach before him. For that to happen, Chipka’s goal is to change the culture and expectations of the program. He said he wants to “get the student body, faculty and community excited about Waite football again.” What do you expect a first-year head coach to say? Chipka wants everyone to know he means it. He has done his homework. “There was a time when Waite was a national power and football games were major events that everyone looked forward to,” he said. “To me, the biggest challenge is to get the entire community to buy into the vision I have and pull the rope in the same direction. One of my charges moving forward is, we will win as a program, not as a team.” The Anthony Wayne High School grad, 26, who played tight end and linebacker for the Generals before graduating in 2006, said he has “a detailed vision and plan on how we’re going to turn things around and get it headed in a positive direction.” Chipka made the transition to wide receiver at Bluffton University, because he was pretty much forced to play tight end at AW because it ran the wing-T offense and Bluffton didn’t. He said moving to receiver was a great fit. “I wasn’t the biggest person,” he said, “but it was a benefit for me. My time at Bluffton went well. We didn’t win a whole lot of games, but I was voted team captain my senior year (in 2009). I credit going to Bluffton so much for molding me and shaping me as a man.” Chipka graduated with a degree in education in 2010. He then played one season for the Continental Firehawks of the 10team Continental Indoor Football League, as a receiver, before the owner sold the Fort Wayne, Ind.-based team.
New Waite football coach Dan Chipka, a former Anthony Wayne and Bluffton University gridiron player, yells direction at his players during a previous role as an assistant at Bowsher. (Submitted photo) “I was in the crossroads of my life,” Chipka recalled. “I was playing football for a living and not making much money, but at that point I was playing a game I’ve loved since I was a kid. I was playing under quite a few players who had short stints in the NFL and I was absorbing all of their experience and knowledge and the little things I could pick up day-to-day. I didn’t get much playing time, but the experience of practicing and watching them prepare for games was so rewarding.” Chipka spent the past four years as an assistant at Bowsher. He started as an offensive assistant coach and then served as the Rebels’ offensive coordinator the past two years. Bowsher, which ran a pro-style offense using three running backs, went 8-2 last year and 6-4 in 2012. Chipka has since brought on 15 assistant coaches – five at the freshman level — to help him turn Waite into a winner.
“That’s something I’m very excited about,” he said of his staff. “The coaching staff, from day one, we’re all making sacrifices. We feel that’s going to put the student athletes in the best position to succeed. I want each position coach to teach one position. It’s critical that we have that. I was adamant about bringing in a large coaching staff. At times when coaches have to juggle between two and three position groups, it can get a little busy.” Chipka said he’s been pleased with the athletes’ dedication in the offseason. “We’re already through phase one of our offseason regiment,” he said. “Monday, Wednesday and Friday we were in the weight room, and Tuesdays and Thursdays were our speed training days. We’re offering study tables for any student who needs extra instruction. We’ve averaged 30-35 kids in the weight room every day; some days we’re pushing 50.
“Now it’s just about having more consistency with the turnout. The whole program, we all have to buy into what we have going on this year. That just has to carry over into the summer when we start getting outside.” The Indians’ first official practice is Aug. 4, and they open the 2014 season at home against Genoa, a team that is sure to give Chipka’s inaugural squad a huge test. As far as Chipka’s concerned, August can’t get here soon enough. “It certainly is a challenge taking over a program that has been sub .500 for a number of years,” he said. “I really think it’s just about getting a foundation built, letting the kids have an understanding of who you are and where you’re from. It’s just about establishing relationships with faculty, administration and the student athletes. We’re working to get better and establish championship habits from day one.”
Rangers’ state runner-up grappler heading ‘down under’ By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Time is of the essence for Northwood junior Devon Dunbar. Dunbar, you may recall, qualified for the Division III state wrestling tournament in Columbus in March and lost his first-round match in overtime. What the 126-pounder went on to accomplish is relatively uncommon at such a high-level tournament. Dunbar came back to win his final five matches to earn a third-place medal and his 100th career victory (100-21). His effort was noted by International Sports Specialists, Inc., which sponsors wrestling tournaments in Australia and New Zealand. ISSI sent Dunbar a letter on March 20, inviting him to be one of 128 wrestlers from the United States to represent Team USA at the 16th Annual Down Under Sports Wrestling Meet. Now, all Dunbar, 17, has to do is raise more than $6,000 in order to compete in Australia and New Zeland from June 28 through July 6. “I was really excited.” Dunbar said of receiving the invitation. “I didn’t really know what it was at first. I started reading it and then I called them and they explained it. I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They sent me fundraising information and I’ve been looking into that. I was just shocked and excited.” Dunbar said he will represent Ohio on the 2014 North Central Conference

Wrestling Team. “They (Down Under Sports) sent me a letter and I called them to tell them I was interested,” Dunbar said. “They got in a video chat with me and talked with my parents about fundraising.” Team USA will compete against wrestlers from Australia during the team’s visit June 28 to July 3 in Queensland, Australia. The teams will compete in an Australian Beach Wrestling Tournament, held at Surfers Paradise Beach. “I’ve wrestled in beach tournaments before, in Michigan maybe two years ago,” Dunbar said. “You’re in a big circle and it’s a mixture of Sumo. If you push them out, you get one point. You can’t have your face in the sand for long. It’s mainly upper body. When you’re on the ground, they put you back up. It’s pretty much like wrestling, only in the sand. It was really hot in Michigan and I got sunburned, and the water was really cold.” Team USA will then fly to Auckland, New Zealand, to compete in a tournament July 3-6, followed by a trip to Hawaii from July 6-9 for what Dunbar called a team “vacation.” “Down Under Sports gave me a sponsorship letter to hand out to people,” Dunbar said, adding that every sponsor is entered into a raffle for a chance to go to Australia to watch the beach tournament or opt for a five-day ocean cruise for two people. “People can go online to downundersports.com to donate,” Dunbar said. “Every
time you donate, you get put into the drawing.” Devon’s mother, Jenni, and his father, Bill, the head wrestling coach at Northwood, are helping Devon raise money. “He got this opportunity and being a (high school) junior, this is a once-in-alifetime thing,” Jenni said. “We’re trying to give him this opportunity. You can’t do this again. The places he’s going to see … He can get a chance to see the Great Barrier Reef. We’ve just been so busy. We have four kids and with them all involved with school and sports, it’s been so busy. “Devon is getting out and talking to local business. They (wrestlers) can raise funds up until the day they go. Any money they raise that is above what they need to go, that comes back to them for spending money, or it can pay for one of the parents to go.” Jenni admitted that she’s “a little scared” about Devon flying overseas without a family member. Devon is the oldest of the Jenny and Bill’s four children. “Devon wants to move away and go to school,” Jenni said. “He’s always going to be my baby, but I have to let him soar sometime. He’s very well behaved, very mature for his age. Wrestling is his sport. He adores it; he loves. it. He’s trained very hard to get where he is. This sport is going to take him places.” Literally.

Our Roots are Here in Northwest Ohio
Intangibles lead to bump in road By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Baseball can be a game of inches, but you can include doing the little things right and staying in the game mentally to the list of intangibles that separate winners from losers. Cardinal Stritch’s baseball team got off to a 6-0 start this season, with wins over Woodmore, Ottawa Hills, Eastwood and Start. The Cardinals, however, have hit a rough patch. Coach Craig Meinzer’s squad lost to Maumee, 4-1, last Saturday and followed that with 14-3 and 8-1 losses to Fremont Ross and Northwood, respectively, this week. “We were getting the little things done and being consistent (early on),” Meinzer said. “We even played decent against Maumee. As of the last three games we need to find out why we are not doing the little things correctly or being mentally strong. We will figure it out and we will be a better team for it in the long run.” Meinzer said injuries can’t be blamed for the Cardinals’ recent skid. “We’re just not getting the basics done – base running, fielding, throwing, bunting, things like that,” he said. “A lot of mental mistakes.” There is, of course, plenty of time for Stritch, which is 2-1 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, to right the ship. The Cardinals return just four full-time starters from last year, but they have eight seniors who, Meinzer said, “knew what it would take to win.” The coach said he’s waiting for “anyone” to step up and become a vocal team leader. “We have 14 guys who are capable of playing different positions, and that makes us a stronger team,” Meinzer said. “We are so close in talent that it makes it hard to make out a lineup. The eight seniors and three juniors on the varsity know what it takes to win and work hard, and that is a bonus for this team. The sophomores are good players and will be good if they just go out and play the way they are capable.” Stritch’s top two pitchers – Meinzer calls them pitchers 1A and 1B – are seniors Chase Dearing and Brooks Gasser. Dearing,
a left-hander, is 1-1 with a 1.27 ERA and nine strikeouts in 11 innings. Gasser has no decisions with eight strikeouts and given up no earned runs in 5.1 innings. “They are both capable of being really good and will be pitching a lot the next couple weeks as we get deeper into the league,” Meinzer said. “We have four lefties on the varsity staff and two more at the J.V. level, and that is a luxury if they can continue to grow, get stronger mentally and physically, as well as learning what they need to do to be good pitchers.” The Cardinals will also rely on senior closer Austin Pratt (three saves) and lefty Sean Killian (3-1) to help secure a TAAC championship. “We’ve been pitching well and that kept us in the first seven games we played,” Meinzer said. “I knew we would have a good pitching staff, and they will get better as we move forward.” Meinzer said Stritch’s hitters have made good contact and are getting on base, but they have not cashed in with enough consistency on the scoreboard. “We need to play ‘small ball’ well and run the bases better,” he said, “but I still like our chances. We have not scored a lot of runs this season yet.” The team’s top hitters through nine games are seniors Adam Buenrostro (.415), Josh Shefferly (.389), Jake Empie (.350) and Robert Johnson (.343). “They hit the ball hard and have driven in a lot of the runs we’ve scored,” Meinzer said. “They have been in the system for the last three years and know what to do at the plate. They work hard at hitting.” Leadoff hitter Grant Curavo, a sophomore, is hitting just .250 but has an impressive .631 on-base percentage. “He is getting on base consistently and hitting the ball hard,” Meinzer said, adding that he is confident the Cardinals will finish strong. “You always have work to do to get better if you want to win and compete,” Meinzer said. “Right now we need to work hard in all aspects of the game and good things will come. We definitely need to grow closer as a team and find a common ground that we can use to do that. Mental toughness is a major thing we need to work on.”

Put Snowden in prep decathlon, and he’d be hard to beat By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Devin Snowden has become Mr. Everything for Eastwood track. The Eastwood junior, who’s starred on the team for the past two seasons, is taking his ‘game’ to new heights this year. In a season that is less than a month old, Snowden has placed at or near the top in the long jump, the 110- and 300-meter hurdles and the 4x100 and 4x400 relays. Snowden finished first at the Napoleon Invitational in the 110 hurdles (14.92), first in the long jump (22 feet, 1.25 inches), second in the 300 hurdles (39.62), and was part of the 4x400 relay team that was victorious. In the Lexington Invite, Snowden came in first in the long jump (21-8½), second in the 110 hurdles (14.77), fourth in the 300 hurdles (40.28) and was part of the 4x110 shuttle hurdle relay team that finished first. Eastwood coach Brian Sabo is impressed with Snowden’s versatility. It’s a shame he cannot compete in more than four events per meet because of state association rules. “I’ve told a lot of people he could do probably 10 of the 13 open events,” Sabo said. “He’s that versatile. He’s jumping extremely well. He’s running the 300 hurdles well, too. His time in the 110 hurdles in the third or fourth fastest time in Ohio, and obviously he’s a good guy on the 4x100 and the 4x400 relays. We have to decide which four events we want to put him in.” Sabo speaks highly of Snowden’s character, too. “If you ever watch Devin compete, he’s very humble and very encouraging of his teammates,” Sabo said. “He walks down and shakes the hand of every opponent before the race. He never complains, works hard, is encouraging of his teammates and always gets along with the other athletes from other schools.” Snowden, who was part of the 4x100 team that finished sixth in the Division II state meet last year, also placed seventh in the 300 hurdles. In both events, he was a

regional champion, too. Plus, he qualified for state in the long jump as a freshman. Sabo believes that Snowden, known also for his talents on the football field, could compete collegiately as a running back or possibly in track and field in the decathlon. Sabo, now in his third year at the program’s helm, has been with the staff 17 years and has seen the team win 13 consecutive conference titles. The high point came when the Eagles won back-to-back D-II state titles in 2009 and 2010 under former coach Gary White and was state runner-up in 2008. “I think we’re fortunate that many of the kids enjoy the sport,” Sabo said. “We

try to make it fun. We really dive into the kids as people and the coach-athlete relationship. I’m curious about how they’re doing in the classroom and how their family is doing. We’re taking an interest in the kids. “I think the kids believe in their coaching staff. I think they believe that, No. 1, we want them to get better whether they’re the first or the 65th person on the team. They believe in the knowledge of the staff — the coaches go far to further their knowledge on the sport. And there’s the discipline from Gary White — he’s going to love you and he’s going to discipline you.” This year, the Eagles have not missed a beat, winning every dual and tri-meet

while dominating at weekend invitationals. Eastwood finished first out of eight teams at the Liberty-Benton Relays, came in second at the Lexington Invite and was first at the Napoleon Invite, an eight-team event that featured Northern Lakes League schools Perrysburg, Napoleon and Bowling Green. The team has depth, as evidenced by their competitiveness in nearly every event. In addition to their relay teams, athletes like Brennan Seifert, Gabe Fredericks, Tim Hoodlebrink, Jake Hoodlebrink, Joey Salinas, Steven Bradley and Andrew Caris, among others, have helped lead the Eagles to another event winning campaign. The success, according to Sabo, started with the hard work the team invests once practice begins. “One thing I appreciate out of our guys is that when you ask them to work and give a great effort, they do that and go slightly above and beyond,” he said. “We only stayed inside once during the early part of the season with the cold weather. They never complained about that. When you ask people to do that, you have a lot of respect for that. The amount of effort they give, the respect they give the coaching staff, I really appreciate that. And there’s a great respect between the kids and the coaching staff. There’s a tradition that comes from the seniors. It’s nice to see the juniors and seniors doing well because we counted on them as freshman and sophomores.” One thing the coaches at Eastwood have embraced is the benefit that comes from athletes competing in multiple sports and how that helps them to stay in shape. Track and field is considered Exhibit A for that important connection that exists between the sports. “We have a great relationship for a lot of other coaches,” Sabo said. “We want anybody who runs track to do another sport. A lot of the kids do two to three sports. The football coaches appreciate that because we try to make (the athletes) faster and we do weight training with them. That work ethic is still there. That’s part of the culture.”

eek: How Do You Define Success?
The personal success business is a significant part of our economy, with Americans spending literally billions of dollars every year in the hopes of figuring out how to be personally (and financially) successful. Much of this enterprise is materialism at its worst, with clever hucksters convincing hopeful, often greedy, or unwary marks to part with their hard-earned money in the hopes of getting rich. And while it certainly isn't fair to paint all of these success gurus with the same brush, it is worth asking what the point of all this success is about in the first place. How do the people selling success define it?

Do they define success by nothing more than material prosperity? If so, they are defining it very narrowly, and are at odds with God's message of success. If success is nothing more than material prosperity, then Jesus and the prophets would have to be judged abject failures. On the other hand, if they define success as personal growth, meeting our individual goals, and living in harmony with God and our fellowman, then this is probably something worth attaining. You cannot serve both God and money. N.I.V Matthew 6:24

Lake Erie outlook
Graduation Cakes
Walleye, perch, other species stable Lake Erie anglers can expect to enjoy another year of diverse fishing opportunities in 2014, according to Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) biologists. “While fishing success always varies among species and seasons, we expect that anglers will find success on the waters of Lake Erie this year,” said Jeff Tyson, Lake Erie fisheries program manager for the ODNR Division of Wildlife. “The lake’s population of walleye, yellow perch, black bass, white bass and steelhead remains stable, with a very broad distribution of sizes for each species.” Lake Erie walleye and yellow perch fisheries are managed through an interagency quota system that involves Ontario, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio. Each jurisdiction regulates their catches to comply with quotas and to minimize the risk of over-fishing these species. Quotas for the upcoming fishing season are determined through a consensus agreement by these jurisdictions through the Lake Erie Committee of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission. Currently, the daily walleye bag limit is four and the daily yellow perch bag limit is 30 per angler in Ohio waters of Lake Erie until April 30. As a result of the 2014 quota allocation, the daily bag limit will be six walleye from May 1 through Feb. 28, 2015. From March 1, 2015, through April 30, 2015, the daily walleye bag limit will be four. A 15-inch minimum size limit is in effect during the entire season for walleye. The daily yellow perch bag limit is 30 from May 1 through April 30, 2015, with no minimum size limit. Lake Erie anglers can find walleye and yellow perch bag limit information at ODNR offices, in special publications at bait and tackle shops and online at wildohio.com.
Black Bass

White bass continue to provide excellent seasonal fishing opportunities in the Maumee and Sandusky rivers and in the open lake. The 2014 catch will be dominated by fish from the 2012, 2011 and 2010 year classes. Fish from 2006 could be as large as 16 inches. Anglers should focus on major Western Basin tributaries during May and June and nearshore areas of the open lake during the summer. There is no daily white bass bag or size limit.
Ohio walleye anglers in 2014 will catch fish from the 2010, 2009, 2007 and 2003 hatches, with some fish from the 2011, 2008 and 2012 year classes. Walleye from the 2012 hatch will be present in the fishery with most individuals near or over the 15-inch minimum size limit fairly early in the 2014 fishing season. Walleye from the moderate 2010 hatch will range from 18 to 23 inches, while walleye from the 2007 hatch will be more than 20 inches. The 2003 and 2007 hatches are likely to carry most of the Central Basin fisheries. These walleye will contribute to the population that has a good number of fish over the 26inch range. Large walleye from the strong hatch in 2003 will continue to provide “Fish Ohio” opportunities (greater than 28 inches), with this year class nearing the size that may give Ohio a new state record walleye.
Yellow Perch Expect good perch fishing in 2014, with the largest fish in the eastern areas of the Central Basin. Perch anglers should encounter fish ranging from 7 to 13 inches from the 2012 through 2007 hatches in this year’s fishery, with major contributions from the 2010, 2008 and 2007 year classes. Fish from the average hatches in 2007 will contribute fish in the 10 inch and greater range. In 2013, yellow perch fisheries flourished in the eastern portions of Ohio’s Lake Erie, and ODNR biologists expect this trend to continue into 2014.
Smallmouth bass fishing in 2014 is expected to be fair but improving. Smallmouth bass catch rates in 2013 were slightly below those seen in 2012, but were still some of the highest observed since the mid-1990s. Smallmouth bass caught should be an excellent size (14 to 22 inches, weighing up to 6 pounds). The best fishing for smallmouth bass will continue to occur in areas with good bottom structure, which is the available habitat across much of the entire Ohio nearshore and islands areas. Continuing the trend from previous years, largemouth bass fishing should be excellent in 2014. This emerging fishery is producing high catch rates and some large fish in nearshore areas and harbors across Ohio’s Lake Erie shoreline. All black bass (smallmouth and largemouth) must be immediately released from May 1 through June 27 of this year. Beginning June 28, the daily bag limit for bass is five, with a 14-inch minimum length limit.

Steelhead Steelhead anglers should enjoy another year of great fishing in 2014 on Ohio’s Lake Erie open waters and tributaries. Peak summer steelhead action on Lake Erie can be found offshore from June through August between Vermilion and Conneaut. Most Lake Erie anglers troll for steelhead in deep waters using spoons with dipsy divers or downriggers until fish move close to shore in the fall. The daily bag limit remains five fish per angler from May 16 through Aug. 31, and two fish per angler between Sept. 1, 2014, and May 15, 2015. A 12-inch minimum size limit is in effect throughout the year.

Happy 95th Birthday April 30th

Other species Bays, harbors and main lake shorelines offer excellent fishing for panfish, as well as the occasional northern pike and muskellunge in vegetated areas. Anglers are reminded that fishing conditions on Lake Erie can change hourly, and adjustments are often necessary to improve success. Anglers should take into account factors such as water temperature, cloud cover, water clarity, boat traffic, wave action, structure, currents and the amount of baitfish in the area. Anglers are also reminded to carefully monitor the Lake Erie weather and to seek safe harbor before storms approach. Updated Lake Erie fishing reports are available at wildohio.com or by calling 888-HOOKFISH (888-466-5347). Information is available from ODNR Division of Wildlife staff from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays at the Fairport Harbor station (440-352-4199) for the Central Basin and at the Sandusky station (419-625-8062) for the Western Basin.
