Groups want Lake Erie called “impaired” watershed By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Saying the Lake Erie water crisis last August is a wake-up call, a coalition of environmental, agricultural and other organizations in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan is asking the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to declare the lake’s western basin an impaired watershed. Despite the passage last month of Ohio Senate Bill 1 – a bipartisan measure prohibiting the application of fertilizer and manure on frozen and saturated ground within the basin – the organizations contend in a letter to Gina McCarthy, EPA administrator, “no meaningful measures have yet been taken to reduce the levels of algae-feeding phosphorus” in Lake Erie. Consequently, there will “almost certainly” be another crisis this year. A section of the Clean Water Act requires lists of impaired waters to be compiled, defining “impaired” as waters for which regulations and other required controls aren’t stringent enough to meet water quality standards set by states. The act re-

quires states establish prioritized rankings for waters on the lists and calculate the amount of a pollutant a body of water can receive and still meet quality standards. The organizations are asking the EPA to pay more attention to Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations that typically house hundreds or thousands of livestock. “There are many sources of nutrients fueling the harmful algal blooms,” the letter says. “However, agriculture is the major contributor of excess phosphorus in the western Lake Erie basin. For that reason, we also request EPA to focus on one relatively new, and largely unregulated, agricultural nutrient pollution threat we believe requires your urgent attention – concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs).” Because the CAFO industry has expanded in the three states in the past 20 years – and apply large amounts of manure to farm fields that drain into the basin – a “regional approach is imperative because of the cumulative impact CAFO waste is having on the western Lake Erie basin, “ the letter says. The organizations, in particular, are asking the EPA to:

• Require valid nutrient management plans for all farms receiving manure from CAFOs. • Establish numeric nutrient water quality standards for the three states. • Ban the practice of hauling manure into the western Lake Erie watershed from other watersheds. “This is not just an Ohio problem, because a large amount of livestock waste is produced and spread in the Michigan and Indiana portions of this watershed too,” said Pam Taylor, of Environmentally Concerned Citizens of South Central Michigan. “While different steps are being taken to address nutrient loadings in Lake Erie, this is a necessary and important step towards uniformity and accountability within the entire Western Lake Erie basin.” Vickie Askins, of the Ohio Environmental Stewardship Alliance, has been a vocal critic of the lack of regulation covering manure from CAFOs. “Ohio submitted a nutrient reductions strategy report to U.S. EPA which established that effective manure management is critical to see water quality improvements and measurable reductions in nutrient loadings,” she said. “However, recent

Woodmore, Genoa on ballot

Nearly $2 million in cuts proposed if levies fail Two neighboring school districts with levy requests on the May 5 ballot have tentative plans to cut spending on operations by a combined $1.8 million if they don’t receive additional revenues. In their levy campaigns, however, the administrations and school boards of the Genoa and Woodmore districts, are citing different reasons for how they arrived at their current financial situations. In the Genoa district, voters will decide an additional 5-mill, 5-year emergency levy that would, if approved, generate approximately $1.025 million annually, and a 5-mill, 5-year renewal levy that generates about $400,000 a year. The administration has been focusing on the loss of revenue from the state during presentations at forums and meetings with residents to promote the levies. “The bottom line for us is our problem stems from reductions by the state,” Bill Nye, treasurer, said in a recent interview. The district receives about half of its operating revenues from the state and about a third from local real estate taxes. Revenues from tangible personal property taxes – levied on business inventory and equipment - have dropped as the state phased those taxes out. Reimbursements from the state to help schools and local governments by offsetting the loss of revenues have also dropped. Spending cuts of about $945,000 are being planned if the additional revenues are not approved, Nye said, as are increases in student fees and fees for participating in athletics and extra-curricular activities. The emergency levy is equal to about 6.38 mills and would cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $223 a year in additional taxes. Voters last year twice rejected requests for additional revenues. Nye is projecting the district will have a balance of about $500,000 in its operating budget by June 2016 without additional revenues or spending cuts. That balance is expected to become a deficit of $500,000 by June 2017.

Woodmore The Woodmore district receives about 54 percent of its operating revenues from the state. But an accounting error in the district’s five-year forecast that went undetected for more than a year until the school board hired a new treasurer last October has forced the school board to go to voters for additional revenues sooner than planned. And other issues with the district’s financial statements as well as complaints about a lack of transparency by the board have also surfaced, resulting in a levy campaign aimed at regaining the trust of residents. Promotional levy materials prominently mention the accounting error and steps taken to prevent it from reoccurring. The board also apologized for the oversight during its March meeting and asked the community to partner with it and “move forward together.”

“

The bottom line for us is our problem stems from reductions by the state.

“

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

Voters will see two levies on the ballot: a new 0.75 percent earned income tax that would generate about $1.05 million annually for 10 years and a renewal $600,000, 5-year emergency property tax. Regardless of whether the levies pass, about $242,536 in spending cuts will be enacted, including several positions at the

high school and an aide at the elementary school. If the income tax fails, another $625,752 or so in spending cuts, largely laying off of teachers and classified staffers, would be enacted. If the income tax is approved, the board and administration is proposing to use about 59 percent - about $625,000 - of the annual revenues on staff, services and operations. About $270,000 would be used to build up a six-month carry-over balance and $155,000 would be set aside to cover unexpected costs such as unfunded mandates by the state. The committee promoting the income tax cites it as the fairest method to generate revenues for the district and notes a tax on earned income isn’t subject to the reduction factors imposed by the state on property taxes.

Owner gives East Toledo facade facelift

Ohio gets perfect score in transparency

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com In a day when East Toledo residents are complaining about blight and the negligence of commercial properties, one property owner is taking a step many don’t. Dan Ridi of Daridi Investment, LLC is renovating the façade of his two commercial buildings at 653 Main Street, which sit near the corner of Starr and Main. The building sits on just over onetenth of an acre and has five units — one unit provides about 1,500 square feet and the other four about 800 feet apiece. Ridi is spending his own money without the help of a land bank or government grants. “When he first bought it, he was only going to fix it up if he got people interested in them,” District 3 councilman Mike Craig said. “They would say, ‘Hey, I need this many square feet,’ and he’d say, ‘Here, look at this, I’ll remodel it for you,’ and then he decided that he was going to just remodel it because he thought it would be easier to market it that way.” Ridi says it helped that the City of Toledo got tougher on recycling companies, and he credits Craig partly for that because as East Toledo’s councilman, he helped pass the legislation. “I’m going to tell you, Michael Craig, he played a big role in this, too. He’s been involved with me from day one. He has a lot to do with it as well and I appreciate his time,” Ridi said. “Mike and I have been talking about this property. It got vacant and people broke in, took all the pipes and so luckily the city took action,” Ridi continued. “They passed an ordinance making it really tough for recycling companies to accept just any product. “We remodeled the units and we’re giving it a facelift and a full remodel. Of course it is going to cost a lot of money, but we’re hoping out of this to be a success story where business owners or property owners will look at this and say, ‘Wow, it used to be an eyesore and now it got a facelift, it got remodeled now,’ and that would encourage people to follow suit. You never know — this might benefit the property owners on the east side, benefit the city. Time will tell on how this works out.” Workers were still seen out front last week, and the difference between the old

A worker continues improvements on the facade of Dan Ridi's commercial buiding at the corner of Starr and Main streets in East Toledo. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) façade and the new façade is already apparent. “We’re not done yet,” Ridi said. “We’re going to still power wash the building on the outside. It’s going to look a lot better than before.” According to Lucas County records, Ridi purchased the property for $500,000 from Raymond E. Bischoff, Sr. in 2006. Once the renovation is complete, Craig and Ridi hope that the building will become attractive to arts and music related businesses, which have shown a resurgence in the Starr-Main corridor. “We’re really going to try and get at least someone there,” Ridi said. “The bottom line, definitely, even if it’s not leased now, the building looks brand new and it’s no longer an eyesore. Even that gives me

satisfaction.” What Ridi is saying, that even without a quick return, he is taking satisfaction in being one commercial business owner that is making an improvement. Still, a return is still the ultimate goal. “I certainly hope so. That is the goal,” Ridi said. “If it happens, excellent, if it doesn’t, at least now every time I pass by I can say, ‘I own that property’ and can get a little trust in the neighborhood. I can buy that now, let’s put it that way.” Ridi started out in business on the east side offices across from the former Sunoco refinery, now Toledo Refinery, on Woodville Road. A Maumee resident, he recently moved his offices to Sylvania after his company purchased a local convenience store chain.

The U.S. Public Interest Research Group’s annual “Following the Money 2015” report, released last month, gave Ohio the number-one transparency ranking in the country for providing online access to government spending data. Ohio was prominently featured in the report after climbing from 46th to first in spending transparency as a result of Treasurer Josh Mandel’s release of OhioCheckbook.com. In fact, Ohio received a perfect score of 100 points this year — the highest score in the history of the U.S. PIRG transparency rankings. “Treasurer Mandel’s office has taken huge strides to ensure that information about state expenditures is accessible to the public. In the six years that we’ve released this report on spending transparency, this is the highest score that any state has achieved,” said Phineas Baxandall, senior policy analyst with the U.S. Public Interest Research Group. “As other states seek to improve their online spending transparency, they can look to OhioCheckbook.com as an example. To stay on top, we expect that Ohio will need to keep building on the strong transparency tools that Treasurer Mandel has already established.” Read the U.S. PIRG press release, the full report, and a list of the 50 state rankings at: USPIRG.org.

City aims to improve council agenda By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon is looking at changing the capitalization or “all caps” of its council agenda to make it easier for the public to read and understand. “It’s a housekeeping measure that the mayor and I have been talking about,” said City Administrator Mike Beazley. “I just want to float an idea out there. We use the all caps system for our ordinance titles now.” Current research in the field notes that all caps are less likely to be read in a document, he said. “An Indiana law blog heading “All caps are all wrong,” and another well known published article in the field called “Hiding in Plain Sight,” notes the problems

DOUGLAS L. PERRAS Attorney-At-Law

with all caps, said Beazley. “When you put something in all caps, people are less likely to read it, less likely to understand it. Most spell checks on computers don’t even check words that are in all caps, so you end up with more spelling errors. The things you put in all caps are less likely to be read than anything else in your document,” he said. Beazley’s sister, a law professor at Ohio State, published an article that “got a lot of attention in the appellet courts,” he said. “Most courts are going through the process of changing these rules now to make life easier and to make documents clearer,” he said. “We’re going to play with it a little bit and float out some models for council in future agendas to see what it looks like. We don’t have any rule that we are aware of that requires this. We think it will be easier

to read and easier to understand.” Councilman Joshua Hughes, an attorney, said cases back in the 1800s were all caps throughout the entire body of documents. “It was excruciating to read. I’m with you, Mike. Anything to eliminate all caps I’m all for,” he said. “I’m all in favor of greater readability,” said Councilman Jerry Peach. “However, that greater readability might be better preserved with large, lower case letters.” “One of the models is to bold face a title and see what it looks like,” said Beazley, “but with a mix of upper and lower case, like standard print, or a slightly larger font. There are some older people like me who need a 32 point font for almost anything we read. But we’ll play with this. The goal is to make it easier for our public and council members to look at and understand.”

Sheehy leads Ohio’s charge to reinstate Pete Rose By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com State Rep. Michael P. Sheehy (D-Oregon) saw an opportunity when a new commissioner took the helm of Major League Baseball. Couple that with a new legislature in the Ohio statehouse, and its ammunition enough to make some noise to MLB about Pete Rose’s lifetime ban from the sport he loved so much. In 1989, Rose, now 74, had voluntarily agreed to a lifetime ban from MLB because he gambled on baseball games, but he always insisted that he never bet to lose. Peter Edward “Pete” Rose, who spent most of his career with the Cincinnati Reds, is the all-time leader in hits, at bats, and games played, and he is the only Major Leaguer to play more than 500 games at five different positions. His name is as well known as anyone enshrined in MLB’s Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., so the Ohio House District 46 state rep believes it’s time to get Rose the accolades he deserves. “I listened to sportswriter Frank DeFord a couple years ago on the radio and then I read an article about it, and he was pushing for it and I said, ‘Hey, that makes a lot of sense,’” Sheehy said. “So, last year I went out to the Assembly, and the former speaker, he was a big fan of (former Cincinnati Red) Joe Morgan. He did a resolution for Joe Morgan. But, when I signed on to help with that, I asked his aid, ‘Hey, do you think the speaker would entertain a resolution asking to get Pete Rose into the hall of fame?’ He said, ‘Well, Representative

Sheehy, I’m not a betting man, but if I was, I’d bet no.’ So, that kind of killed that. “So, with this new legislature, I thought, ‘Well, I’m going to try this again,’ and so I asked (legislative aid) Peter (Bucher) and Pete got the ball rolling and we reached out to the Senate, where we Mike Sheehy have a concurrent resolution going and they released it. So, we’ve got some good co-sponsors, we have some similar legislature moving over in the state senate, and it looks like we might be successful with it.” It doesn’t matter to Sheehy that he is a Cleveland Indians fan, his wife is a Detroit Tigers fan, he has a brother who is a Tigers fan, and the entire family are Toledo Mud Hens fans, which is the Tigers’ Triple A affiliate. This is about Rose. “Like somebody said to me, ‘There are a lot of worse people in the Hall of Fame than Pete Rose,’ and I didn’t know it, but I guess Ty Cobb was not such a good guy,” Sheehy said. Sheehy said it was especially the way Rose played baseball that appealed to so many people. “He had been a great role model in most regards. For a player, his whole attitude about diving into a base and that attitude is such an extraordinary attitude about teamwork and being selfless about

using your own body in a team effort to win,” Sheehy said. “I think that’s a message that should resonate well with all young Americans. If we can capture that kind of an attitude, we’d have a better culture. “He did something (betting) that Major League Baseball really stepped on. I think they needed to do that, they needed to nip something in the butt that is going awry with the sport at the time and I think they wanted to get out the message that they are not going to tolerate that behavior, and they’ve been successful in doing that. “Now, Pete’s in his 70s and God knows how long he’ll be with us. His records are so extraordinary in both leagues, all-star in both leagues, MVP in both leagues, played at five different positions, and it goes on and on — his accomplishments in baseball. So, I think he’s well deserving of it and it’s time to recognize him and move on.” The argument for Rose The resolution lists these items, among others, in its text— “Rose is a 17-time Major League Baseball All Star, is the only player to be an All Star at five different positions, and is the winner of two Gold Gloves, the Rookie of the Year award, three batting titles, a Most Valuable Player award, and three World Series titles, two with the Cincinnati Reds and one with the Philadelphia Phillies; and “On August 24, 1989, Rose voluntarily accepted a permanent place on Major League Baseball’s ineligible list in response to a Major League Baseball investigation concerning his gambling activities, including gambling on baseball games. The investigation did not produce any evidence that

Rose gambled against the Reds while he was the manager of the team; and The joint sponsors were originally Sheehy and State Rep. Christie Kuhns, who represents the Cincinnati area. CoSponsors are Reps Louis W. Blessing III, Thomas E. Brinkman Jr., Jonathan Dever, Denise Driehaus, and Alicia Reece. All but one member of the Cincinnati delegation have signed on. “As of now the resolution is at the very beginning of the process,” Bucher emailed The Press. “Senator (Cecil) Thomas’ office submitted the Senate Concurrent Resolution slightly before we did so theirs has a number already (SCR 4), whereas ours will get a House Concurrent Resolution number here shortly. They have the same language. We’re just trying to move this along faster by submitting them as companion legislation to hopefully be finished by the All-Star Game in Cincinnati in mid-July.” Neither resolution has been assigned to a committee yet but Sheehy anticipates the resolution to end up in State Government Committee with Chairman Ron Maag. Once the governor signs it, it is hoped new MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred will pay attention, especially since the resolution is coming from Rose’s native state. “If it passes the House, it passes the Senate, and hopefully the governor will sign it,” Sheehy said. “I can’t speak for the governor — I wouldn’t dare do that. Then, hopefully we’ll try to get it in time for the all-star game, which is going to be in Cincinnati. We’re looking for that to happen and I see that Pete Rose is going to be involved in some of the festivities there during the all-star game. So, it looks like things might be breaking for Pete.”

Oregon to look into train blockages on Pickle Road By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon Councilman James Seaman on Monday raised questions about blocked traffic from trains at the intersections of Pickle Road and Wheeling Street and Pickle Road and Woodville Road, where the city installed a railroad crossing notification system in 2003. The system of flashing blue lights notify motorists of a blocked CSX crossing on Pickle Road and provides them with the opportunity to select an alternate route before reaching the tracks. Seaman said he’s received several complaints from residents living in the area that the trains are frequently blocking the crossings. “The blue lights work fine letting

you know that there’s a train there,” said Seaman. “But they’re on all the time. I think the railroad figures that because there’s an adequate visual warning sign, they can just constantly have it tied up. That cutthrough down Pickle Road, from Wheeling to Woodville, is constantly blue lighted. Or when you’re coming from Woodville up the other way, there’s a blue light on all the time.” He noted that a judge a few weeks ago fined one of the railroad companies for excessive blockages. “I don’t know what we can do about it. The [notification] system works good. It is a nice thing to have,” said Seaman. “There’s nothing wrong with it. But the railroads are abusing the situation because they think because we know they are there, they can abuse it whenever they want on the Woodville/Pickle roads crossing. I

guess it’s an age old problem with the railroads taking up too much of our time on the crossings, but it’s getting bad. I’m telling you. People have been asking me about it. I don’t know what our response can be.” Councilman Jerry Peach said trains frequently move very slowly on the track. “I think the situation is as much as Mr. Seaman described,” said Peach. “There are quite a few trains that use that track, and they often go slowly in that stretch. It’s not as if the trains park there often, although in fact sometimes they do. But as you pointed out, the blue light is very helpful.” Seaman agreed that the blue lights are “needed,” but that the railroad company “takes advantage of them.” “It’s blocked all the time,” he said. But Mayor Mike Seferian disagreed that the railroad company is exploiting the

system. “I feel reasonably comfortable that they are not taking advantage of the blue lights. It’s just the way the business happens to work for them,” he said. Seaman asked City Administrator Mike Beazley if there was anything he could do. “We will do some follow-up. I have spent a lot of time working on similar problems in my lifetime,” said Bealzey. “I’ve not always solved them. With train crossings it’s a fairly difficult problem to solve. We’ll have some conversations with our police department and with the railroads as well.” The city noted last month that there are plans to install the blue warning lights on Otter Creek Road and Corduroy Road that will notify motorists that lights and gates are activated at the existing train tracks on Otter Creek Road.

Indictments returned After a recent session, the Ottawa County Grand Jury returned indictments against the following individuals, according to Prosecuting Attorney Mark Mulligan: • Vincent S. Judkins, 21, who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, was indicted on one count of Trafficking in Drugs, along with multiple counts of Possession of Drugs after Ottawa County Drug Force agents found him in possession of heroine, cocaine, prescription pain medication and marijuana last month. The indictment alleges that the cocaine was packaged for distribution or sale, and was in the vicinity of a child, and also contains a Grand Jury specification for forfeiture of more than $1,100 in Judkins’ possession at the time of his arrest. • Laura L. Brown, 27, 1195 W. Fremont Rd., Apt. 6, Port Clinton, was charged with Burglary and Theft, felonies of the third and fifth degree, respectively, after she allegedly entered a Carroll Township residence in December. Jeffery Kiser, also known as Jeffery Bair, whose last known address is 406 N. Locust St., Oak Harbor, was charged with two felony counts of Complicity after deputies of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office determined that he aided Brown in committing the crimes. • John Schmidlin, 45, whose last known address is Curtice, was charged with one count of Failure to Appear, a felony of the fourth degree, after he failed to attend a hearing on another indictment earlier this month. • Robert Mulherin, 33, of Swanton, has been charged with one count of Theft, a felony of the fifth degree after he allegedly took property from an Allen Township construction site late last year. A summons was issued for Mulherin to make his initial appearance in the Ottawa County Court of Common Pleas on May 11. Warrants were issued for all other defendants.

Nepal relief collection Parishes, schools, and affiliated institutions of the Diocese of Toledo are being asked to assist Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and Caritas Nepal with relief efforts following the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal just before noon Saturday, April 25. According to recent reports, more than 4,000 people were killed as a result of the earthquake; thousands more have been hurt or displaced by the devastation. One hundred percent of the monies collected by the Diocese of Toledo will be forwarded to Catholic Relief Services, and according to CRS, 92 percent of their funding goes directly to those in need. Contributions to the relief efforts may be directed to a parish of the Diocese of Toledo, sent directly to Diocese of Toledo - Nepal Relief, 1933 Spielbusch Ave., Toledo, OH 43604.

Work is set to begin this month on a $1.3 million renovation project at St. Jerome Church in Walbridge. (Submitted Drawing)

St. Jerome announces renovation project St. Jerome Catholic Church in Walbridge will undergo a $1.3 million renovation project that will include structural necessities such as roof replacement, plumbing improvements, electrical updates, paint and carpeting as well as items important to the sacred celebrations of the church. Parishioners and supporters of St. Jerome have raised $1.25 million for the project to date. The architectural firm Munger and Munger created plans for the renovation that were unveiled to the parish just before Christmas. The plans involve the creation of two new wings; the relocation of offices; additional seating and handicap accessibility; new insulation; upgraded heating, ventilation, and air conditioning and more

energy efficient systems. The renovation is set to begin May 11. “These structural necessities must be addressed in order to preserve what our parish has worked so hard to achieve over the past 50 years,” said St. Jerome’s pastoral council president, Tony Mass. “Our steering committee has looked at all the options for the land and buildings of St. Jerome. This plan will best utilize the existing parish amenities while creating a vision for a successful future, which includes a beautiful and functional worship space that our parishioners so richly deserve.” St. Jerome Parish was formed in 1962, and the first Mass was celebrated in St. Jerome Hall on Dec. 8 of that year. The building was not specifically designed to be a church. The renovation proj-

ect was designed to allow the building to become more sacred, dignified and beautiful, including new/refurbished Stations of the Cross, stained glass windows, statues, baptismal font, altars, chairs, and votive candles. “Our church is the closest place that we can come to heaven while still on this earth,” said Fr. Eric Schild, pastor of St. Jerome. “If we truly believe what we celebrate, then we must not only maintain our church building, but also make sure it is as beautiful as possible because it reflects our belief in God.” The last Mass will be celebrated in the current St. Jerome church on Sunday, May 10, and the renovation project should be complete by Thanksgiving 2015.

Townships warned of pending revenue losses By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Tbe Ohio Township Association is asking its membership to contact state legislators and ask them to continue reimbursing townships for revenues lost from the phaseout of tangible personal property taxes. Because townships are heavily reliant on the property tax, “this phase-out will more drastically impact townships than other forms of local government,” the OTA says in an advisory to its members. “We are asking the General Assembly to continue to reimburse township levies at the current rate, or in other words, continue to hold townships harmless.” The association estimates it will cost the state $27.6 million to continue the reimbursements. After passing in the House of Representatives, the proposed state operating budget bill for 2016-2017 has been re-

ferred to the Senate finance committee. The bill includes language that would phase out reimbursements for lost revenues that came from taxes levied on tangible personal property and public utilities. Those taxes were phased out as part of the state’s tax reform package enacted about 10 years ago. About 400 townships are still receiving the reimbursements, according to the OTA. Using figures from the Ohio Department of Taxation, the OTA estimates Lake Township would receive $102,308 in tangible personal property reimbursement in fiscal year 2016 and $48,642 in fiscal 2017. In Woodville Township, the estimated distribution in fiscal 2016 would be $23,439 and drop to $9,302 in fiscal 2017. Richard Welling and Melanie Bowen, trustees in Lake Township, said they see the phase-out as part of a bigger trend in the legislature to push for townships to

consolidate or merge with municipalities. It seems that the movement to enact the Commercial Activity Tax is just the latest in a series of disturbing legislative changes coming out of Columbus that can significantly effect local jurisdictions’ funding,” Welling said. “There have been drastic cuts to the Local Governmental Fund to the cities, villages, and townships, limiting of the number of Public Safety Answering Points (dispatch centers) per county, thus forcing dispatch centers to merge, and the requirement of mandatory education for fiscal officers ( a requirement that many rural townships will find hard to meet). A good case can be made that the legislature in Columbus is step-by-step forcing local jurisdictions into merging to control costs. It would seem with the various funding cuts, local jurisdictions have two choices: raise taxes on the residents (never a popular or successful measure) or seek cost-cutting measures such as mergers.”

Clean Up

Volunteers pick up bags of debris in East Toledo Over 300 people helped clean up East Toledo on April 17 and 18. Jodi Gross, of One Voice, a group of volunteers that meets regularly to discuss issues facing East Toledo, said there were 22 teams who picked up trash in the parks and neighborhoods. “We worked on Friday during the day, and then Saturday, as part of Global Youth Service Day,” said Gross. “There are 18 parks in East Toledo. We cleaned up some of the bigger parks. They’re not all functioning parks. Some of the smaller parks we don’t have to spend a lot of time on. Even though we focused on the parks, we got everyone to go into the neighborhoods, including Main Street, to clean up.” Garbage bags filled with debris were waiting to be picked up by the city. “I think we filled about 100 bags. We worked on making things better in East Toledo for those two days. And we’re not finished yet,” she said. Although volunteers didn’t have to look hard to find it, there were some sites where garbage wasn’t as obvious to the naked eye. Pond debris Bev Piper, Co-Chair of One Voice, was part of a 12 member team that cleaned up

a pond that was a dumping ground in the Ravine Park 2 area across from Dearborn. “The pond, like one you might have in your backyard to put goldfish in, was probably about 12 feet long. It was filled with chunks of grass, and you could tell someone had just dumped it in there because the grass was so green,” said Piper. “We found tiles in the pond, as if someone had just redone their bathroom and dumped old tiles back there. There were tires, buckets, chairs - you name it. Just plain garbage.” People dump garbage because they don’t want to deal with it on their property, making it someone else’s problem, she said. Her team also picked up trash around a ball diamond at Tribute Park. “Then we walked back around to where the old East Toledo junior high was at. We cleaned up the area in one day,” said Piper, adding that her team filled about 20 bags. “We really should have gone to Seaman and Heckie’s Pond, but we ran out of time. One of these

nights when it gets warmer, I’ll just go back out and do it myself.” Waite High School football coaches and football teams also helped pick up around the stadium, she said. “I live in that neighborhood. I walk my dog around that stadium. The first day it got warm, I filled up two bags of garbage and I barely put a dent in it. I thought, `Oh Boy, I can’t wait for the cleanup on the 18th.’ So now it’s just routine,” said Piper. “I take a bag with us and I pick up garbage while we’re walking.” Piper said it doesn’t take much for people to clean up their own yards, which would help improve the neighborhoods. “I understand there are people who are poor and can not always afford to fix up their houses. But you can pick up the garbage in your yard or help your neighbor out to make the neighborhood look better,” she said.

Development Committee has been working on getting rid of blighted properties, she added. The group has forms available for the public to fill out regarding blighted properties in their neighborhoods that will be submitted to the city. “I know there’s a lot of blight. We can get frustrated when we turn things in to the city and nothing gets done. But we really work hard to make sure we stay on top of things. So if there is a house that needs to get torn down, we’re going to help get that addressed. People need to be reporting it. We want homeowners to stay in East Toledo. Someone just told me that people are leaving because they don’t like what’s next to them. So we need to change that. But we can’t do it alone. It takes all of us with One Voice. That’s the most important piece of the puzzle.”

More involved Gross said she would like to see more East Toledoans participate in One Voice because there is power in numbers. “We want everyone to be involved. Not just me or those who have been coming [to meetings] the last few months. But we really need everyone. Whether you get to a meeting, or you can just clean up your yard, or help your neighbor, that’s what we’re really looking for: To change the perception of East Toledo,” she said.

Indebted grads can pursue careers in the public interest By Tiffany Williams Back in my 20s, I had a modest dream: By my 40s, I hoped, I’d be able to pay off my student debt. I’d even give some of my hard-earned money to my mom and rent a nice apartment. Maybe I’d get a dog, too. And I wanted to do it while making a difference for working-class families like my own. Really, that’s all most people from my background want when they think about the promise of higher education. Growing up, making ends meet wasn’t easy. My single mom worked overtime, paid taxes, and consumed only within her means, but still we couldn’t find economic stability. Every shake and bump of the car engine, every toothache, and every new school expense could tip the scales toward disaster. My brother and I learned early on to avoid debt collectors. We knew not to answer the phone, not to open the mail, and not to talk to strangers. As soon as we turned 15, we started working minimumwage jobs at the local pizza buffet to stretch my mom’s secretary paycheck.

Guest Editorial I studied hard, got a scholarship for college, and graduated with honors. Then, when I got into a Columbia University graduate program for social work, I had a choice to make. Tuition would cost $50,000, and scholarships were slim. But a professional degree from an Ivy League school could be my ticket into the middle class. So I took out student loans. It was a gamble — I knew I’d be paying them back for a few decades. It was hard. Somewhere along the way, living on credit cards and coupons and trying to cover rent and utilities for the 8-by-8foot room I rented, I stopped dreaming and just tried to stay afloat. Then, on November 8, 2007, something amazing happened. I got an email from my friend Rachael,

a freshly minted idealist like me, with a link to a new federal program. It would forgive our remaining debt after we made 10 solid years of payments while employed in public service. It was available for future teachers, firefighters, librarians, or in our cases, social workers. The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program (PSLF) helps people like me who want to work at organizations that match our values — without forsaking our chance to buy homes, have kids, and plan for retirement. The program was created during George W. Bush’s administration. When my loans became eligible for relief, I signed up, consolidated my debt with the federal government, and enrolled in an income-based repayment plan. It still hasn’t been easy, to say the least. When I was battling cancer and undergoing a stem cell transplant, I had to check on my payments from the hospital bed. The one time I turned my annual tax records in late, I had to pay a penalty of more than $1,000. My loan servicer wouldn’t adjust it, even when I caught my mistake and sent in documentation before the bill was due. Still, not only did my monthly pay-

ment go down, the path ahead of me cleared. And I started to dream again. Unfortunately, because of budget politics, this program is always in danger of being cut or modified. It’s on the chopping block for repeal in the latest Republican budget. That’s a shame. We need public servants and first responders. Numerous cities and states are facing shortages of teachers, EMTs, and child welfare workers, with serious consequences. And with 43 million Americans living with more than $1 trillion in student debt, we need lifelines like this one. It ensures that promising young people who want to serve their neighbors are able to get an education and put it to good use. As for me, I just bought my first house with my fiancé, and we recently adopted our second dog. I’m paying my taxes. Now in my early 30s, I’m still working in public service. I hope to keep that trend going so our future children can dream, too. OtherWords columnist Tiffany Williams is the associate director of the Institute for Policy Studies.

Turning to yourself means letting go of the victim mentality Any driver who gets behind the wheel of a car with the expectation that others drivers will do whatever is necessary to keep them safe is a foolish driver at best. You are a safe driver when you depend on yourself to drive safely. As you drive, you rely on your skill and alertness. You would never think of turning over your well-being to other drivers. You know that regardless of the weather, road hazards, and erratic drivers, successfully arriving at your destination is ultimately your responsibility. In life, the situation is identical. In order to be successful, you must turn to yourself to make it happen. You are the one in charge of your future. If you want something to happen, you need to make it happen. You are a walking resource filled with the necessary tools for solving problems, selecting goals, and finding the right path to follow. In order to turn to yourself, a belief in your value is required. Conversely, insecurity, doubt, or blame, cause you to depend on others. People harboring a victim mentality refuse to turn to themselves. Instead they blame other people or circumstances for their plight. Then they expect others to provide corrective remedies. Regardless of what is happening to them, these “victims” turn to others rather than themselves. You turn to yourself by taking responsibility for your situation. You look inside yourself for answers and guidance. Selfawareness is the basis of effectively doing this. Self-aware people have an intimate knowledge of themselves. They understand their strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes. They capitalize on their strengths. They formulate strategies for overcoming their weaknesses. They chose goals based on their likes. Self-aware people constantly monitor their actions in order to ascertain what works and what doesn’t. Self-aware people

Rather, you are utilizing that person in the same manner you would a library; you are simply getting pertinent information for making an informed decision. If your experience is lacking, survey those who have already successfully dealt with the same issues facing you. Incorporate the strategies which worked for them. Learning from someone else’s experience is far more effective than figuring it out on your own. When you turn to yourself, ask, “Where do I go from here? What is my next step?” Forward is the only direction which matters. Regressing into the past is a waste of time. Feeling sorry for yourself is useless. Expecting someone else to fix things leads to disappointment. Regardless of the situation, you can always turn to yourself. Other people move in and out of your life.

Exercise pool vital To the editor: I understand that Mercy Health Systems building a new rehab facility on Navarre Avenue is laudatory, however, what will become of the existing facility on Isaac Streets Drive? A large number of people are concerned that the heated pool in the new facility will be much smaller and will not be available to the public for the fitness program. While we wouldn’t be averse to a small extra charge per month for use of the

new pool, we certainly don’t want the pool eliminated for our use. There are a lot of seniors that use that pool on a daily basis, and do not relish the idea of having to travel to Perrysburg or other outlying districts to find a heated pool, especially in the winter. Please Mercy Health Systems, allow us the use of a new pool, especially since you are always touting the need for us to stay healthy and exercise. Barbara Meyers Oregon

The fight against the borer still rages, but there is hope Page Two

Today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is mass producing the wasps in Brighton, Michigan. They have been released in 16 states. Poland said it’s too early to tell how successful the wasps have been, however, initial results are “very encouraging.” Bt can be dispersed in an aerial spray, similar to treatment used in forested areas for the gypsy moth. This is an organic spray, not a pesticide, said Poland. Adult borers feed on leaves covered with Bt and eventually die. However, rain washes it away and it degrades in sunlight. There is also concern that it may kill other desirable bugs. The third strategy is using Tree-age, an insecticide injected into the tree’s phloem.

Ten years ago, Pearson Park was ground zero in the fight against the emerald ash borer. Ohio Governor Robert Taft came here to defend the state’s effort to cut down all 17,000 ash trees in the park. That approach to quarantine the borer by eliminating its food source proved fruitless. The borer has since expanded its reach to destroy billions of trees across the country. But, there is hope. Not so much that the advance will be stopped, but that, in its wake, borer-resistant trees can grace the forest canopy once again. Therese Poland is a research entomologist with the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service. She works at the Northern Research Station on the campus of Michigan State University. She has been studying this invasive species since 2002, when it was discovered in North America after arriving in Detroit via a shipping crate from China. Poland is optimistic about the survival of our native ash. “We have improved a lot of the tools and technology through research—resistant trees, biological controls, treating landscape trees. We are optimistic we will at least be able to keep the ash on our landscape. It might not be as dominant, but we’ll be able to have resistant trees.” While Poland said there’s good news for an ash tree in a backyard, or in a park, not much can be done to stop the borer’s advance through our forests. Felling trees just ahead of its advance and making it illegal to transport firewood out of an infected area have only slowed the borer’s progress. In 2005, the borer was found in 13 states; today it’s in 24 states and two Canadian provinces. It has enlarged its reach as far west as Colorado, as far east as New Hampshire and as far south as Louisiana. That doesn’t mean the battle is lost, however. Poland says three strategies have promise. First, new laws have been enacted to stop more borers from entering the United States. Pallets must be free from bark and fumigated, or heat treated, to kill the larvae and inspections have been required. Second, the U.S. Forest Service has been experimenting with releasing these natural enemies of the borer: parasitic wasps from China and a soil-dwelling bacterium called Bt (bacillus thuringiensis). The wasps, less than one millimeter in length, deposit their eggs in the borer. The parasite grows inside the borer, feeds

Tree-age kills the borer, but it is too expensive for forest use and must be reapplied every three years. However, it is being used effectively by homeowners and municipalities. As far as the long term view, Poland says researchers are studying ash trees in China to determine why they are more resistant to the borer. “Their species are more resistant than ours because they co-evolved with the borer over eons so they’ve developed defense mechanisms,” she said. These mechanisms have yet to be identified, but researchers are studying the compounds and tannins Chinese ash trees have developed through evolution to combat the borer. Once identified, ash trees with these defense mechanisms will be cross bred with North American ash trees over several generations. The goal is to breed a tree that

can fend off the borer while providing the fuller canopy of the North American ash, as compared to China’s ash trees. Poland said researchers are also studying the “rare survivors,” trees that for some unexplained reason have survived in a wood lot devastated by the borer. Cross breeding borer-resistant trees can take decades, Poland said. But, this strategy has been successful in saving the endangered American elm and chestnut trees. The importance of winning this battle goes beyond the economic value of America’s ash trees estimated in the hundreds of billions of dollars. According to a study by Kevin Rice and Wendy Klooster of The Ohio State University, at least 282 species of insects and spiders rely on ash trees for food and shelter. The dying ash also leave canopy gaps which increase sunlight to the forest floor and that may increase the toxicity of native plants used as a food source for butterflies. The risk of extinction for these insects is a concern as is the loss of a food source for those higher on the evolutionary chain. Comment by email at zoz@presspublications.com.

Great Lakes singer, storyteller to wrap up concert series Lee Murdock, broadly acknowledged as “the premier interpreter of songs and tales about the Great Lakes,” will take the stage at the Pemberville Opera House May 2 at 7:30 p.m. The concert is the final performance in the ongoing Live in the House concert series. Murdock has uncovered a boundless body of music and stories in the Great Lakes. Taking snapshots from history, his songs summon the listener to take a frontrow seat to look through the eyes and into the hearts of individuals who have shaped our heritage on and around the Great Lakes. From the rugged days of lumberjacks and wooden sailing schooners, he comes alongside with original ballads of contemporary commerce and revelry in the grand folk style. Murdock has been compared to the late Canadian songwriter, Stan Rogers, with a singing voice and a respect for musical traditions that is reminiscent of the great Burl Ives. His repertoire is a blend of the old work songs mixed with his own original compositions and the work of songwriters such as Shel Silverstein, Woody Guthrie, Pat Dailey, Larry Penn and others. On the traditional side, Murdock draws heavily on the archives of authentic sailing songs collected in the early 20th century. Housed at the University of Michigan, Professor Ivan Walton’s collection of songs of the Great Lakes sailors was unpublished until 2002, when Detroit journalist Joe Grimm completed Walton’s work, published by the Wayne State University Press and titled, “Windjammers, Songs of the Great Lakes Sailors.” While other musicians have revived some of the songs collected by Walton, Murdock has been in the forefront in bringing these songs to life. “The discovery of this vast collection of American maritime music was amazing to me,” Murdock said. “And to think that it exists over 1,000 miles from any salt water.” Tickets for the concert are $10 and are available at the door. Visit www.pembervilleoperahouse.org for more information. For more information about Murdock, visit leemurdock.com.

Women’s group donates motorcycle Women in the Wind, the largest women’s motorcycle organization of its kind, is donating one of the motorcycles owned and ridden by its founder, Becky Brown to the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa. The donation was made April 16. The bike is a 2000 Harley-Davidson FLSTS Heritage Springer that Brown rode for 14 years of her almost 39-year riding history and during her induction into all three USA Motorcycle Halls of Fame. WITW began in Toledo in 1979 when Brown, in an effort to find other women riders, placed an ad in the newspaper asking interested women to join her for a ride. To her surprise, a dozen women showed up. Since then, the organization has grown to more than 100 chapters in four countries. Brown was the subject of a documentary for PBS called “She Lives To Ride” and has been photographed by Annie Leibovitz. She has toured all over the world on motorcycle and presently has a 2000 Heritage Springer and a 2012 Heritage Classic. “I was both humbled and proud when current officers of WITW came up with the idea of purchasing and donating my bike to the museum,” Brown said. “I now know that my many years of work and loyalty promoting women riders will be forever remembered.” The Toledo chapter of WITW meets the second Tuesday of every month at 6 p.m. at Charlie’s Restaurant, 1631 Tollgate in Maumee.

The first in the series of farm days, the event offers families the opportunity to try hands-on activities, watch demonstrations, enjoy stories and special music to experience life on an Ohio farm more than 100 years ago. “With fun activities like making butter, shelling beans, gathering eggs and meeting baby animals, Spring on the Farm continues to be one of our most popular events for families to enjoy,” said Kim Krieger, media relations. “Our Farm Day series is a wonderful opportunity for families to experience how life on the farm changes with the seasons.

P.J. & Mary Jo Foos

Met and married on stage, still in the spotlight By Alex Sobel Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com For Mary Jo and Michael “P.J.” Foos, taking part in the Fremont Community Theatre is more than a hobby. It’s where the Gibsonburg couple’s relationship began. “We were married on stage by a friend and member of the theater who happened also to be a local minister,” P.J. said. “That’s the funny thing about theater, I’ve noticed. It seems to attract many teachers and ministers. Lucky for me in my particular situation, I would say.” P.J. has been a member since the 1981 season, while Mary joined during the 1989 season. The couple has two children together (Delilah and Cyrus Foos) and two from Mary’s previous marriage (Lydia Kiser Carstensen and Wyatt Kiser), and for Mary, the greatest part about the Fremont Community Theatre is how it has allowed the entire family to be involved. “Our involvement in community theater has been a positive experience in so many ways. Most especially, it has been a hobby we have been able to share as a family,” she said. During a production of “The Wizard of Oz that P.J. and Mary directed in 2000, they were even able to get all four of their children on stage at one time. “They played Munchkins, a monkey, and a jitterbug,” Mary said. “All four of the kids have participated in the family hobby at some point. Seems one or more of us is running over to our second home for one reason or another,” P.J. said. Delilah and Cyrus especially have followed in their parents’ footsteps. “Delilah… won an Excellence in Acting Award at Ohio Community Theatre Association’s regional festival for her role in ‘Out of Sterno.’ Cyrus won acclaim as Rudy in the 2008 production of ‘Over the Tavern’ and as Donkey in last summer’s production of ‘Shrek, the Musical,’” Mary said. Though not all of the children have taken the amount of interest as their parents, Mary still believes the experience of theatre goes beyond simply being in productions. “Even though Lydia and Wyatt were only in a few productions at FCT and GHS, they continue to have an appreciation for the dramatic arts,” said Mary. “They enjoy seeing live theater and are always in the audience for their parents’ and siblings’ performances. Their drama experiences have helped develop public speaking skills and create confident con-

versationalists for all four of our children.” Though she admits the amount of available roles narrows as performers age, Mary still auditions, and will be appearing in Port Clinton Playmakers’ upcoming production of “Steel Magnolias.” Meanwhile, P.J., along with Scott Havice, takes part in “The P.J. and Scott Show” on the Fremont Community Theatre YouTube channel. “In the last year or so, the publicity committee has been working on ways to get the word out on Fremont’s best-kept secret. Social media has been a focus in the form of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube,” P.J. said. P.J. admits that he and Havice have different approaches, but that’s what makes the combination work so well.

“(Scott’s) a little bit country and I’m a little bit rock and roll. We bounce ideas off each other well and have a good time working together,” he said. Getting word out about the theatre is important to the Foos because according to Mary, it doesn’t just benefit those on the stage. “Drama benefits all participants – on stage or in the audience. On stage, theater welcomes all ages and stimulates memory, expression, and relationships. In the audience, observers can laugh, cry and enjoy a broad variety of genres and entertaining plots,” Mary said. “The Foos family is proud to have a role in bringing community theater to Fremont and other nearby communities.

Toledo Museum of Art offering a Day for the Dogs The Toledo Museum of Art will go to the dogs Saturday, May 9, at the museum’s “K-9 May 9” event, which is geared toward pets and their owners. From 10 a.m. -3 p.m., the Welles Sculpture Garden will be the setting for a number of Fido-friendly activities. Visitors are encouraged to bring their dogs along for the fun. Others visiting the Museum that day will have the opportunity to meet adoptable dogs from area rescues. The festivities are being held in conjunction with the museum’s exhibition, “Best in Show: Animal Illustrations from the Mazza Collection,” which is on view in Gallery 18 through July 5. Admission is free to K-9 May 9 and the exhibition. “The children’s book illustrations on display in Best in Show reveal the special relationship we have with our pets,” said K-9 May 9 organizer Stephanie Elton, the museum’s social media and digital communications manager and a dog enthusiast. “We thought this would be a great way to celebrate that bond.” During K-9 May 9, visitors can watch dachshunds compete for “top dog” honors in races from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Participants can also enjoy hands-on or paws-on activities hosted by the museum’s Family Center, where pet parents can make a mold of their pet’s paw and children can create portraits of their favorite animals. A storyteller will read children’s books featured in the “Best in Show” exhibition, and docents will provide guided tours of the Welles Sculpture Garden. Pet owners are asked to clean up after their dogs (bag dispensers will be handed out to the first 500 visitors and trash bins are located throughout the grounds). There will also be water bowls placed along pathways so visiting pets can stay hydrated. All dogs must be on a non-retractable leash that is six feet or shorter. In case of inclement weather, the event will be moved indoors and only assistance dogs will be allowed inside museum buildings. Cancellation notices will be published on the museum’s website and social media channels. “Best in Show: Animal Illustrations” from the Mazza Collection is presented by Marathon Petroleum. Admission to the Museum is free; parking is free for members and $5 for nonmembers.

essage of the

There was a very uplifting story on National Public Radio a few months back about two soldiers who had been in Afghanistan and were unexpectedly reunited after more than ten years. The soldiers, Roy Wilkins and Keith Melick, were involved in an IED explosion which gravely injured Wilkins. Melick was the medic who pulled him from his badly damaged Humvee, saying “I got you” as he did so. The words “I got you” stuck with Wilkins and he finally had the chance to meet the man who helped save his life some ten years later, unexpectedly, at a gym in a VA center. What was most inspiring about this story,

Oregon

besides the providential way in which they were reunited, were those three simple words, “I got you.” We have all been in situations where we are literally helpless, and having someone reach in and pull us from the wreckage, or at least lend us a hand, makes us feel a bit less alone and vulnerable in the world. We should try to be there for the helpless and vulnerable in our community, and remember that even when it seems that we are alone, God has our back. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me: your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4

Clay tennis pipeline runs straight to Defiance College There is definitely a tennis pipeline from Clay High School to Defiance College. Not only does Defiance have two players on the men’s team, there is also a former Clay athlete playing for the Yellow Jackets’ women’s team. Head coach Tyler Ault is a Clay grad who became the second winningest player in Defiance history – behind his brother, Trevor. Tyler, who won 102 matches at Defiance, and Trevor (104), along with current Yellow Jackets Ryan Nelson, a senior, and sophomore James DeMeo, played for coach Walt Ralph at Clay. Haley Kuhlman, a junior who played softball at Clay, took up tennis when she got to Defiance. “We all kind of share a similar DNA,” Tyler Ault said of the Clay grads. “I was the first one to come aboard at Defiance. We all had Walt Ralph as our tennis coach, and there’s something unique about the Clay tennis program. For all of us, Walt really instilled a passion for tennis. You may not be the state champion, but you will love tennis the rest of your life.” Ault was named Defiance’s head coach in October 2013, although last fall was his first stint with the women’s program. “When I got here I wasn’t a highly touted recruit at all,” he said. “Ryan and James and Trevor were all multi-sport athletes in high school. Defiance is a place where you can be whoever you want to be. It’s a place for someone who is passionate about ten-

nis. I never played with Ryan or James in high school, but I played with Trevor and he got Ryan to play here, and Ryan got James to play here. For a specific type of player, this has been a great fit.” This year’s men’s squad, which will compete in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament this weekend in Indianapolis, just completed its second straight winning season. The Yellow Jackets finished 10-7 overall and fourth out of 10 teams in the HCAC, with a 5-3 record. “It’s been a dream job, to be honest,” Tyler said. “I love coaching and I would love to coach here the rest of my life. My complete dream job would be Defiance College tennis coach and professor. I don’t have any classes on my slate right now, but there have been a lot of changes going on here.” Nelson finished the regular season with 11 doubles victories and a 6-2 singles mark. He teamed with DeMeo in doubles to go 9-5 and 6-2 in conference matches. Ault said Nelson is one of the team’s more emotional players. “Even in warmup drills he will be fist pumping and getting everyone riled up,” Ault said. “I’ve known him since he was a little kid. Ryan and James are both the embodiment of a Defiance tennis player. They are scrappy, they hustle, they chase every

ball down and they don’t hurt themselves with mistakes.” Ault joked that Nelson, a left-hander, is an “ugly” tennis player. “His serve is not 100 miles an hour and his backhand does not streak past an opponent very often,” Ault said. “If you want to beat Ryan in a point, you’ll have to make your best shot two or three times. He breaks down your will. James is very similar.” Nelson played what Ault said was his best match of the year in the team’s final home match, against Franklin (Ind.) College. “They had a hot young freshman with a flashy shot, and Ryan spent the whole time dinking the ball in front of him and lobbing it over the kid’s head,” Ault said. “Ryan was down 5-0 and won seven straight games to keep us in the match.” Nelson, who is majoring in early childhood education, was an honorable mention All-HCAC performer as a junior and was named to the conferernce’s all-academic team. He is the son of Bill and Donna Nelson. DeMeo, an honorable mention AllHCAC performer as a freshman in 2014, has a 10-6 record at second singles (6-2 HCAC) and a 10-7 mark in doubles (6-2 HCAC). DeMeo owns the Clay record for career wins (60) and wins in a season (18).

It’s been a dream job, to be honest.

“James is crafty, smart, fast and full of hustle,” Ault said. “When I played, I was someone my brother was always trying to beat and do one step better. James is like that with Ryan. They play doubles together and if you ever listen to the horrible things they say to each other, you would think they hate each other. But when the lights go on out on the court, it brings out the best of them. James is always trying to one-up Ryan, and in the end that’s going to make James a better player.” DeMeo and Nelson were instrumental in helping Defiance earn its first-ever HCAC win over rival Transylvania (Ky.) University on April 4. Nelson won his third-singles match to tie the team score at 4-4, and DeMeo closed it out with a 6-4, 6-3 decision at second singles. DeMeo, a sports management major, is the son of Matt and Janet DeMeo. “We play as a team, and we feel we can beat anybody,” Ault said. “We have a group of athletes that gets the most talent out of what we have.” Kuhlman had an 1-11 singles record (1-4 at third singles) last fall and went winless in doubles play, but Ault said he has high hopes for the young player. “She is a very athletic, very intelligent player,” he said. “She has done an excellent job competing and developing a culture for our women’s team. I’m excited to see her progress next year as our team continues to grow and mature.” Kuhlman, a business administration major, also plays lacrosse at Defiance. She is the daughter of Kirk and Beth Kuhlman.

Despite injuries, Rockets bringing home hardware By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com The Oak Harbor girls’ track team has dominated the Sandusky Bay Conference, winning five consecutive league titles and six of the last seven. This year, the boys’ team could be joining the girls’ squad as one of the top teams in the SBC. The boys are on a tear, winning three consecutive meets — the Upper Sandusky Invitational, the Patrick Henry Invite and the Lakota Invite — as the conference tournament sits just two weeks away. The Rockets feature 16 seniors and capable athletes like Cole Weirich (sprints), DeShawn Johnson (sprints), Vince Szabo (thrower), T.J. Lawrence (thrower), Thomas Loope (hurdles), Cody Pfeiffer (hurdles), Tyler Sievert (mid-distance), Tim Poiry (mid-distance), Jake Wistinghausen (distance) and Kyle Rutledge (pole vault). However, it’s their depth that sets them apart. In most events, Oak Harbor has at least two athletes capable of finishing at or near the top. Andy Augsburger, now in his seventh season coaching the squad, is pleased with the performance of his team thus far but wants to see more and more of the other athletes fill in the gaps. “Right now, I feel like we’re not 100 percent there,” he said. “We haven’t put together our full roster yet (because) some people have been working through injuries, Tyler Sievert had some issues, Isaiah Jefferson, who was a huge part of our success last year, had a strain that he’s been dealing with; he’s done an amazing job recuperating and getting back in shape. “The last two weeks, we’ve seen Isaiah compete after battling (the injury) the last few months. It’s nice to have him back and get into form. With my throwers, I think we’re still minus-one with Noah Harder (set to return). He’s going to be starting up (soon). I think things are coming together — we’re finding out who needs to be in what events. It’s exciting on my end and the other coaches, they’re feeling the same way; it’s exciting to see how things are going to come about.” Wistinghausen is another athlete that has had to work to get back to form. He missed all of last season with an illness and Augsburger says he has worked tirelessly since. At the Upper Sandusky Invite, Wistinghausen was second in the 1,600 meters (4:42.88), 3,200 (10:18.41) and was part of a 4x800 relay team that included Sievert, Collin Hayslett and Mark Bodi which came in second at 3:34.63. “If anybody deserves credit for how he has gotten himself back into running form, along with Tyler, it is Jake,” Augsburger said. “They have worked their butts off big time. Having Jake back was a big, big thing.” Augsburger also credits Collin

(Press photo by Harold Hamilton/ HEHphotos.smugmug.com) Hayslett, who missed last season because of an ACL tear he suffered his sophomore year playing football, with coming back and being a key presence in the 400 and relay teams, Johnson said he exhibiting a strong work ethic in his first year on the track team. “Collin Hayslett had an amazing freshman season and he found his way on the 4x800 team and never looked back,” said Augsburger, “This year, we’re trying to find out where he should fit; he’s got so much talent. Every single time, the kid competes at a high level. That’s another person that we missed last year. The coach also lauded Brandon Schimming for his leadership and the role he fills on the relays. “Brandon Schimming has been a great asset," Augsburger said. "He’s worked hard all four years, and he made his way onto the relays last year. He’s one of the four seniors that are like glue for this team. He’s huge for us. He comes in during the mornings for workouts and he doesn’t have to. And I’m ecstatic with DeShawn Johnson. He’s done everything I’ve asked of him. DeShawn is such a competitor and he’s a joy to coach, too. He’s kind of like a sponge, absorbing everything in. He’s a really big asset to the program. I’m really glad that he came out.” Augsburger says he has outside sourc-

es helping his program reach another level. He speaks highly of the community, his assistant coaches and the junior high coaches for their support. Lady Rockets on course On the girls’ side, the club is again the favorite to win their sixth straight league championship. They’ve won two invites (Lakota, Patrick Henry), finished second at another (Perkins) and came in third at Upper Sandusky. The Rockets return four top runners — Athena Eli, Allie Jett, Rebekah Rayburn and Karis DeWalt — all of whom play roles in three relay teams (4x100, 4x200, 4x400) finishing fourth, sixth and eighth, respectively, at the Division II state meet last year. Individually, Rayburn runs the 100 and competes in the long jump, Dewalt is in three relays and the 100, Jett runs the three relays and the 200 and Eli runs either the 200 or 400 and competes in three of the relays. However, a key member from last year’s team, Paige Velliquette, will miss the season due to a hip injury. Jordan Dunn also qualified for state last year in the discus, finishing 14th, and also throws the shot put. She is joined by Faith Konieczny (shot) and Danielle Street (discus) in the throwing events. Abby Dornbusch, Makayla Wagner and

Annie Quisno have helped to solidify the 400 and 800 and Abby Eoff (1,600) and Taylor Dunn (3,200), Jordan’s sister, run distance events. Andrea Cecil, known primarily for her basketball prowess, is running the 100 hurdles and also competes in the high jump and the long jump. Alexa Weis, a regional qualifier in hurdles, is doing well in the 100 and 300 hurdles, and is sometimes part of the 4x100 team. Abbie Mizelle competes in the 300 hurdles and Ally Bloomer (high jump), Mackenzie Pluto, Addie Barton and Emma Barton (pole vault) all compete in field events. John McKitrick, now in his 17th season coaching the team, says because of the success his team has had, one challenge is motivating a group that could easily rest on its laurels. “You do have to motivate them a little bit differently,” he said. “Track is a tough sport, very mental. It’s very easy to give up — running is not the ‘funnest’ thing to do, doing drills repeatedly is not the ‘funnest’ thing to do, weight lifting is not the ‘funnest’ thing to do. You have to give them reminders of what it means and how to compete. We’ve got a lot of potential on this track team. We don’t want to lose that. These next five weeks, we just need to focus in.”

Black Swamp’s Sarah Sutton sets bar at Camp Perry By Ashley Brugnone Camp Perry Writer sports@presspublications.com Sarah Sutton, 17, of Black Swamp Junior Rifle, remained the leader of the precision class during the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) ThreePosition Air Rifle Regional Championship after all competitors finished firing at the three designated locations – Camp Perry, OH; Anniston, AL; and Sandy, UT. Sutton set the bar at the Camp Perry location in March with her score of 1285 – a performance that no other precision competitor could match. At last year’s Regionals, Sutton made her mark as a powerful contender – finishing in second overall. She also managed to snag the gold along with the rest of her Black Swamp crew at the 2014 Regional Championship, as they were named the overall precision team leaders. The Camp Perry location at this year’s Regionals seemed to house some of the most successful athletes as Caleb Lloyd, 17, of Seitzland Junior Rifle Team, PA, held his second place position behind Sutton with a score of 1283.9, while Justin Kleinhans, 15, of Black Swamp Jr. Rifle, maintained third with a score of 1282.8. Brian Hampton, 18, of the Charlotte Rifle and Pistol Club, NC, outshot the rest of the sporter class individuals with his score of 1220.5. Last year, Hampton set two National Records at the National Junior Olympic

Black Swamp Junior Rifle, led by Sarah Sutton, 17. competition (ran the same week as the CMP Nationals): 96.6 finals score and an overall score of 653.6x. With his outstanding performance in that match, he finished in first place. Hampton also displayed remarkable talent at last year’s CMP Nationals, with an exceptional finals showing and a thirdplace finish. Behind Hampton at the 2015 Regional

event was Gabriel Palermo, 18, of Freeport High School, IL, who finished with a score of 1215.9. Adam McClintock, 18, of Flowing Wells JROTC, AZ, rounded out the Top 3 with his score of 1204.9 for third. Last year, McClintock finished in first place during the Regional event, but failed to place at Nationals after failing to bring his equipment to the venue – a mistake

that his coach CW3 (ret) Ronald James says will be different at this year’s National Championship. “He has a lot of people to remind him this year,” said James, with a laugh. “He won’t be forgetting.” The CMP 3PAR Championship is a 3x20 air rifle event where competitors fire 20 record shots from three positions: prone, standing and kneeling. School-aged marksmen involved in 4H, Scouts, American Legion, club or JROTC air rifle programs all meet on the firing line to compete against one another to be named the best junior in the nation. To reward the hard work of dedicated junior athletes and coaches, the CMP administers $21,000 towards teams who qualify for the Regional events, with an additional $21,300 for teams and individuals reaching the CMP National Championship. Larry and Brenda Potterfield have again provided incredible donations to the Three-Position Air Rifle Championships. This year, Mr. and Mrs. Potterfield donated nearly $275,000 through generous MidwayUSA Foundation endowments to winning teams throughout the competition. The MidwayUSA Foundation is a public charity that helps communities and organizations raise funds in their MidwayUSA Foundation account to support their youth shooting teams and activities. Overall teams and individuals from all three Regional locations will be invited to the 2015 CMP National Three-Position Air Rifle Championship in Anniston, AL, June 21-26.

Erin Gyurke off to fast start at Ohio State

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Erin Gyurke was off and running for Ohio State’s women’s cross country team last fall. Gyurke, a freshman and a four-time state cross country meet qualifier at Clay, placed 11th in 19:09.2 in her first collegiate meet, at the Flyer 5K Challenge in Dayton. “I was super pumped about how that race went,” she recalled. “I was extremely nervous. For those who knew me in high school, I was never nervous before a race. I went to the line with determination and wanted to see how I would do. I ran with some of the girls on my team, and I was really surprised when I took 11th. I was really proud of how I did.” In her second meet, at the Bluegrass Invitational, Gyurke turned in the best time of her life, placing 16th in 17:20.5 to eclipse her personal best of 17:57 when she won the Three Rivers Athletic Conference meet as a high school senior. In her third collegiate meet, at the Notre Dame Invitational, Gyurke said she was excited just to be on Ohio State’s travel squad. “As freshman, that’s a huge honor,” she said. Gyurke performed well at Notre Dame, beating her high school time again, but she got some bad news about a week later. “I found out I had pneumonia,” she said. “I was a little shocked. I had to stay home (in Oregon) for a week. When I got back to campus, I was off for the rest of the cross country season. It definitely wiped me out. It was a disappointment, especially after having the PRs.” Gyurke said having her freshman season end prematurely was kind of a blessing. As a competitor, her world pretty much revolved around training and competing in cross country. With her season now over, she could concentrate on her classes – she

is an early childhood education major — and enjoy being a college freshman. “I learned a lot, that I can’t focus too much on running,” Gyurke said. “In a school in the Big Ten, you can get focused too much on running. Then you realize, OK, there are other things here. In Erin Gyurke high school my parents (Rod and Karla) did great job of keeping me well rounded and into a lot of things. “When I came here, I was focused on running and I was excited about it. Then I got pneumonia and I thought, ‘shoot, I have extra time on my hands. What do I do with it?’ I got close to people on my (dorm room) floor, plus my team was super supportive and it was really nice to have them there, too.”

Gyurke eventually returned to the team, but three weeks later she developed tendonitis in her left foot. She and assistant OSU cross country coach Sara Vergote decided it was best to shut Gyurke down for the season. Gyurke said she has never had tendonitis before. “Coach Vergote and I sat down and said it would be lot easier and best to just come back really strong next fall,” Gyurke said. “I’ve only been running now for about two weeks. It wouldn’t have been feasible to try to run and push it.” The tendonitis put Gyurke in a walking boot for six weeks, and then on crutches for six weeks. She had planned to run track for the Buckeyes, but the coaches decided to redshirt her this spring. She will have three years of cross country eligibility remaining, and four years in track after this school year. “The doctor said (the tendonitis) would not be a recurring thing, and it’s just unlucky it happened the way it did after the pneumonia,” Gyurke said. “I was obviously upset about it. I was excited to come back and race again. It made me take a step

back and keep my focus. For it to happen my freshman year, as coach Vergote says, it’s just that I’m having bad luck this year. “I’m excited to set my focus for when we get back (over the summer). Staying negative isn’t going to help. I’m going to have to look forward to August and work hard to run.” Gyurke said the OSU track and field coaches planned to try her in the steeplechase, an event she had never heard of before she stepped on campus. If that didn’t work out, she said, she would have raced in the 5K event as a freshman and then possibly in the 10K in the future. Gyurke, a 2015 Ohio State ScholarAthlete, is studying to be a kindergarten teacher. “Little kids are so funny,” she said. “That’s when they learn a lot of life lessons, and it’s a great age. School has been going very well. I’ve been able to keep my grades up and I really like my classes down here. Everyone I’ve met has been really nice. You can tell everyone has that passion for teaching.”

Gibsonburg steamrolling through the conference By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Having lost their pitcher, catcher and two of their best hitters from last year’s team, it would’ve been reasonable to assume that Gibsonburg would have experienced something of a drop off this season. Instead, they’ve returned with resilience and are in line to win their fourth consecutive Toledo Area Athletic Conference title. Currently 12-4 overall and 6-0 in the conference, the Golden Bears have won six in a row and have allowed no runs during that span. They’ve outscored their league foes by a combined score of 104 to 6, which is slightly inflated only because their wins over Ottawa Hills (28-0) and Toledo Christian (27-0), were so lopsided. The team believed to be the greatest threat to Gibsonburg winning the league title yet again is Cardinal Stritch, which lost 9-0 to the Bears on April 22. In that game, Claire Kerwin pitched a completegame shutout, allowing just four hits while striking out seven and walking one. Third baseman Lyndsey Perales, who is currently hitting .440, went 4-for-5 with a triple, a double and four RBIs and center fielder Allie Teeple was 3-for-4. Obviously, the team is talented, but another reason for their success comes from a challenging non-conference schedule. This year, the Bears faced a murderers’ row slate that included Edison, New Riegel, Lakota, Elmwood and Genoa. Second-year coach Marty Brown says that provides the club with the opportunity to find out what they need to improve upon. “We work real hard after each game to bring out good points and bad points to learn from,” said Brown. “We go into each game working on basic fundamentals both offensively and defensively so that we can produce runs and limit the other team to as few runs as possible.” Making this success so impressive, in addition to the consistency displayed within the program, is the fact that Gibsonburg is replacing pitcher Alyssa

Escobedo, catcher Elena Mancha, left fielder Filomena Mendoza and center fielder Marisa Alvarado, a quartet that helped lead the team to a 19-6 record and a 12-0 mark in the TAAC last year. This year’s lineup features three players hitting over .500 and three more hitting above .440. Ashley Hasselbach, the catcher,

is hitting .510 and leads off. First baseman Abby Cantrell (.521) hits second, followed by shortstop Shylee Schmeltz (.551), Perales, right fielder Katy Roberts (.378), second baseman Libby Henderson (.463), Teeple (.468), left fielder Marian Yunker (.385) and designated player Nina Mancha (.364).

That batting order often changes, but after the way things went the last four games, Brown is happy with how his team is hitting in this lineup and may stick with it. “We have been able to get good results from top to bottom as the numbers show,” Brown said. “We have found that by putting them in the current order, they are most relaxed. Up to that point, I had been moving six different hitters around. We have Roberts in the five-hole and she’s a great person for starting off a new inning or for bunting over a runner. Then having those two hitters at over. 460 (Henderson, Teeple), we can often times bring across a new run. “With what I thought were better hitters in the earlier part of the lineup, they were not able to move runners over, so a decision was made to bring them down in the order to take a little pressure off them. We feel it’s been a good move. I have no intention at this time of making any major changes.” Despite the fact that the Bears finished with double digit runs in 10 games this year, they understand that pitching is what will enable them to win their third sectional title in four years. Currently, Kerwin and Samantha DeAnda are splitting time in the circle. Kerwin sports a 6-1 record with a 1.47 ERA and DeAnda has a 6-3 record and a 3.39 ERA. “We are sort of using the two girls,” Brown said. “If I had to choose one, I would put Claire Kerwin out there. She’s good at moving the ball around and has good control. “Sam is getting more consistent. She has some trouble spotting the ball. I feel Claire should be able to maintain her status and we’re looking for Sam to continue to improve. Having a good, consistent pitcher on the mound gives confidence to not only the defense behind her but those same players when they come up to bat because they feel we should be in any game by producing a few runs. This group hopes it can add to a rich history that includes three consecutive state championships (2001-03), a state runner-up finish (2004) and two other district championships (1999, 2005).

Owens volleyball player Aricka LaVoy gets state award By Nicholas Huenefeld Owens Sports Information nicholas_huenefeld@owens.edu The Owens Community College women’s volleyball program’s annual alumni scrimmage, organized by coach Sonny Lewis, attracted over 20 former Owens players, including seven from the Eastern Maumee Bay region. Local alumni participating included outside hitter and Northwood graduate Ashlee Kwiatkowski (2003-04), middle blocker and Lake grad Brianne Sawyer (2003-04), middle blocker and Cardinal Stritch alumnus Brittney Bradner (200708), setter and Clay grad Kristen Gyori (2007-08), outside hitter and Genoa grad Mallory Imbery (2007-08), defensive specialist and Genoa grad Brandi Schimming (2011-12) and defensive specialist and Eastwood alumnus Aricka LaVoy (201314). As a sophomore at Owens, LaVoy recorded 402 digs, 45 aces, nine assists and seven kills. During the season, she had 16 games of double-digit kills, including a season-high 19 in the season-opener against Waubonsee. LaVoy, who finished second on the team in digs, finished her two-year career with 692 digs, 93 aces, 30 assists and 16 kills.

This past Thursday, LaVoy was recognized at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus by Phi Theta Kappa and the Ohio Association of Community Colleges. As a member of the All-Ohio third team, LaVoy will receive a cash scholarship of $250 and an All-Ohio Academic Team medallion, certificate and pin courtesy of Honda of America Mfg., Inc. The award marks the second time an Owens studentathlete has won the award in the past five years. In 2011, Aricka’s sister, Alyssa, won the award. Prior to Owens, LaVoy starred in volleyball and track at Eastwood. As a volleyball player, she earned First Team AllNorthern Buckeye Conference and First Team All-District honors her junior and senior years. As a senior, she added NBC and District 7 Player of the Year honors. She broke Eastwood school records for most digs (503) in a season and most aces (81) in a season for the Eagles, who finished 23-4 and won their first district championship since 2005. She was coached by Jeff Beck. In track, LaVoy finished sixth in the state of Ohio in the long jump as a senior. Outside of athletics, she was named Academic All-Ohio.

Walleye now face Toledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic rival, Fort Wayne The Toledo Walleyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kyle Bonis has sent Toledo to the North Division Finals with a game seven overtime gamewinning goal Wednesday. This is the first time in Walleye history the team has advanced to the second round of the Kelly Cup playoffs. The Walleye are now facing Toledo hockeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic rivals, the Fort Wayne Komets, in the next series. That rivalry dates back to International League days when the Toledo Mercury and Blades were the local professional franchise. For the Walleye, on Wednesday, the second goal of the night for Bonis came at 2:54 of overtime for Toledo as they defeated Wheeling, 2-1. The Walleye advance to the North Division finals to take on Fort Wayne with the best of seven series starting last Friday night in Toledo. Toledo scored first as Kyle Bonis took a pass from Kyle Rogers and sent a wrist shot past Wheeling goaltender Eric Hartzell at 3:40 of the first period. Toledo outshot Wheeling, 18 to 8, in the first period. The Nailers had the better of the shots in the second period, 13 to 8, but goalkeeper Jeff Lerg kept Toledo in front, 1-0, after two periods. Wheeling evened the game when Zack Torquato beat Jeff Lerg with a wrist shot from between the circles at 12:37 of the third period. In overtime, Justin Mercier took a tripping penalty at 2:10 of overtime and they Walleye were shorthanded. Scott Czarnowczan tipped the puck out to center ice and Bonis raced across the Wheeling blue line and beat Hartzell with a wrist shot under the crossbar to win the game at 2:54. Lerg had 31 saves on the 32 shots he faced. Toledo outshot Wheeling 39 to 32 in the game. The best-of-seven series begins with games one and two at the Huntington Center last weekend, and then at Fort Wayne Tuesday and Thursday, both games starting at 7:30 p.m. They return with a possible game five at the Huntington Center Saturday at 7:35 p.m., game six at Fort Wayne Sunday at 6 p.m., and game seven next Wednesday, May 13 at 7:35 p.m. (â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Andi Roman/ Toledo Walleye)

The Press Box Ross steps down Eastwood head varsity girls basketball coach Lindsay Ross has stepped down and the district is seeking candidates for her replacement. Athletic director Jeff Hill says Ross has decided to further her education, which does not leave enough time to run a varsity girls program. Coming over from Maumee, where Ross was junior varsity coach, she coached two years at Eastwood, finishing 3-18 (2-12, Northern Buckeye Conference) in 2013-14 and was 6-18 (2-12) last year. Eastwood will be accepting applications until May 6. Candidates should contact Hill at 419833-3611, ext 1252 or e-mail jhill@eastwoodschools.org.

It looks like Toledo Walleye left-handed forward Michael Leone (2), a Detroit native, is scoring in the first period of the first game against Wheeling, but this shot actually went wide left. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com)

Waite groundbreaking Friday On May 8, the Waite Alumni Association will kick off a drive for funds to enhance a new softball field and develop tennis courts with a 1 p.m. groundbreaking at the Waite Field House. TPS is providing the funds for a new basic softball field and alumni want to develop the project further. Waite is bringing the new softball field on campus at the site of the former Optimist Park. The project will be done in phases. First, the softball field will be completed and then tennis courts will follow as funds are raised. In the past, Waiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s softball field had been at Ravine Park and they played home tennis matches at Navarre Park. Alumni association chairman Jean Clark says this is the start of an attempt to bring athletic facilities on campus. The association has also provided time and raised funds to support the renovation
