Plants should improve water quality in lake By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

Source of pollutants Wolf Creek has been shown to be a source of nutrients discharged into Maumee Bay. It is mainly an agricultural watershed, about 16 square miles, that flows northeasterly through Northwood, Oregon and Jerusalem Township where it meets with Berger Ditch and drains into the Maumee Bay State Park boating marina and Lake Erie. Channeled stream sections with periodic bank erosion and frequent discharge from agricultural drainage tiles contribute to the nutrients’ release into the lake.

Global magazine editor says

America’s Biggest Week is a hit By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com One million bird watchers can’t be wrong. One of the greatest places on earth to bird is the shore of Lake Erie during spring migration, says Kirsten Sweet, senior editor of Birds & Blooms — America’s No. 1 bird and garden magazine with one million subscriptions globally. Wednesday, Sweet rode with staff members from the magazine’s offices in Milwaukee to Maumee Bay State Park, headquarters for the annual Biggest Week in American Birding Festival currently under way. The fest brings about 75,000 visitors from around the world for a once-a-year opportunity to spot migratory bird species as they stop off at the shores of Lake Erie before heading further northward. The festival, hosted by the Black Swamp Bird Observatory, began May 8 and runs to May 17. The festival includes birding workshops for novices and experts, tours of the Lake Erie shoreline parks and islands, a bird tattoo contest, concerts and entertainment, evening events at Maumee Bay State Park and more. Globally, Birds & Blooms’ subscriptions are estimated at one million, and Sweet be-

...I’ve been a few places around the country, and there really is no other place like the area — the Magee Marsh boardwalk, especially.

“

Oregon received a $20,000 Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) grant from the Ohio EPA to enhance UT’s constructed wetlands at Maumee Bay State Park and the Wolf Creek Corridor Restoration and Sedimentation Pond Project that are expected to improve water quality in the Western Basin of Lake Erie. UT constructed both projects using GLRI funding. “UT’s project is just about complete,” said Oregon Public Service Director Paul Roman. “But most of their wetland plantings were placed in the Maumee Bay State Park area. Up to this point, we’re only planning to have just upland grasses in the sedimentation pond area, which is just upstream of our water treatment plant off Berger Ditch off Curtice Road. We were made aware of additional funding being available through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative for Lucas County. We applied to see if we could get the money, and we did.” The city’s Wolf Creek Floodplain Enhancement Project seeks to build on UT’s projects in the Wolf Creek watershed and provide improved water quality to the Western Basin of Lake Erie. Oregon plans to plant about 4,000 wetland plantings of plugs and shrubs within the sedimentation pond area along Wolf Creek, said Roman. It is expected to help reduce the phosphorous that discharges into the Western Basin of Lake Erie.

lieves she can speak freely on behalf of all her readers. “Birders love it,” Sweet said. “From my experience, I’ve been a few places around the country, and there really is no other place like the area — the Magee Marsh boardwalk, especially. Everybody who I’ve spoken with, it might be their first time there but then they are going to be lifelong visitors. They all definitely want to come back — that’s how special the area and Magee really is.” Magee Marsh Wildlife Area has gained national recognition as a prime birding spot. USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice

travel award contest asked people to select from a long list of bird watching areas and select their favorite. After four weeks of voting, Northwest Ohio’s own Magee Marsh dominated. The BSBO launched a major social media campaign to remind people to vote every day. Kimberly Kaufman, BSBO executive director, encourages everyone to come out and go birding this spring, even if it’s something you haven’t thought about doing before. It’s easy to get started, she says. “The festival provides a wonderful opportunity for local people to discover the joy of birds and birding. It’s a wonderful family activity, gets us outside in the fresh air, and really helps us to see the beauty of the natural areas Northwest Ohio is fortunate to have,” Kaufman said. Kaufman is also proud of the conservation messages the Biggest Week helps to convey. “The festival helps us raise awareness of the economic value of habitat conservation in a powerful way. Residents of Northwest Ohio should invest in enhancing and expanding wildlife habitat at every opportunity. Doing so is an investment in the health and wealth of the area,” the BSBO director added.

mally found adjacent to creeks, streams or rivers – are along Wolf Creek. The Wolf Creek Corridor Restoration and Sedimentation Pond Project included the construction of a 0.55 acre pond with connected floodplain within the Wolf Creek channel upstream of the confluence of Wolf Creek and Berger Ditch. About 1.5 acres of floodplain was created as part of the project. In addition, about 2.6 acres of upland stream corridor was created around the floodplains and pond areas. The project included the seeding of the created floodplain areas with native floodplain seed mix. The city wants to supplement the seeding with the planting of floodplain plugs, and supplement tree planting with an upland native shrub planting on the floodplain banks to help with bank stability and habitat. Promising data Native plug planting along with seeding within streams and adjacent floodplains helps wetlands to eventually become fully vegetated. The Oregon Flood Relief and Erosion Control Project, constructed in 2013-14, had a similar effect. It combined the planting of 85,000 native wetland plugs with floodplain seeding in a new stream channel. Plugs grew quickly and helped to stabilize the new stream channel and banks. The Wolf Creek Floodplain Enhancement Project aims for a similar vegetative cover in the floodplains as seen in the Oregon Flood Relief and Erosion Control Project. The proposed plugs and shrubs will be native species. UT graduate students have been monitoring the site, which includes water quality testing for nutrients and other non-point source pollutants. It is expected to continue for several years and show a reduction in non-point source pollutants. The data gathered so far shows considerable promise, according to Roman. “One interesting thing about the sedimentation pond,” he said. “UT’s been doing some water testing from the day it was constructed and I do know that they were getting readings of total phosphorous being reduced by almost 50 percent and that was just with the sedimentation pond, let alone adding wetland plantings. We know certain parts of the UT project are already working.”

Biggest week Continued from front page Roll out the red carpet Sweet says when she arrived here, she’s noticed businesses are beginning to respond and understand the importance of rolling out the red carpet for visitors. “The area is honestly really amazing,” Sweet said. “This is a trip I look forward to every year — both for the birds, which is the huge draw, but the whole area is just awesome. “We were just chatting about all the local businesses, and trying to decide where we want to eat. When you walk into the businesses, you can just tell that they are excited to see you and excited that you are a birder and here in the area supporting them. Every business we’ve been to have been so nice, so friendly, there really is a fantastic sense of community for it to be a small-town, kind of a rural area.” Birds & Bloom, a festival sponsor, is hosting a Bird Day Challenge, which takes

elements of bird watching and puts a competitive twist on it. Birds & Blooms editor Stacy Tornio will lead one of two teams in the competition. Challenges like this aren’t uncommon in the birding world, but what makes this one especially interesting is the small amount of time allotted. The time restraint poses a series of challenges for the competitors. “Since the time is so limited, you really have to strategize how and where you spend your time. A few minutes wasted can be the difference between winning and losing,” said Tornio. Tornio’s team will be competing against another group lead by Sweet. Both teams are currently taking donations and a victory in the challenge will go even further towards helping out some very deserving groups. Proceeds will benefit the BSBO and Cornell Ornithology Lab. “We only have three hours to compete, which is not a lot of time, and we’ve been promoting that in the magazine and social media channels,” Sweet said. Sweet suggests that if you’re not a

birder yet, it’s time to get started. Her magazine provides plenty of spring birding secrets — this season is prime time for birdwatchers, with birds returning from winter migrations and flowers in bloom. “Now is the time when you really should get outside to see what is in your area, because the things that are in your area right now are going to be moving on. Right now, you are going to see some really cool and colorful birds,” Sweet said. “As far as spring birding in general, right now is a prime time to get some hummingbirds in your yard, get some orioles in your yard, and it’s really easy to get these things. It takes not a lot of effort and not a lot of equipment. If you want to try and attract orioles, you’re going to want to put out some orange halves, some grape jelly in a tiny dish, so you don’t need to go out and spend a lot of money on bird food. That’s a cool thing you can do to get some great things in your backyard.” For information, contact the BSBO at 419-898-4070, visit www.bsbo.org or BiggestWeekinAmericanBirding.com.

Then & Now by Larry Michaels Top photo, the old Isenburg Hotel on the northeast corner of Oak & Fassett was demolished in 1973. It was built in the early 1920s as a hotel for railroad workers, and later became the Railroad YMCA, which also had rented rooms upstairs. The corner stood vacant for many years, until the beautiful new Fire Station # 6 was built on the same location in 2012.

Dispatching center to be mothballed By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Six years after purchasing the former Ohio Highway Patrol post on Lemoyne Road and converting it into an emergency operations center, the Lake Township trustees are weighing the future of the building now that dispatching services for the township will soon be handled by the Wood County Sheriff’s Department. The sheriff’s department contract with the township for emergency dispatching service will go into effect June 3, Mark Hummer, township police chief, said. The trustees Tuesday discussed whether or not the building and property should be sold and decided to not take immediate action. Chief Hummer told the trustees the building could be mothballed for little cost other than heating and lighting but the 140-foot radio tower would likely need to be painted in the next year or two at a projected cost of $1,500-$2,000. Some of the dispatching equipment is being moved to the township’s administration building on Cummings Road as a backup to the police department’s radio system, he said.

The township purchased the post building and grounds in 2009 for $40,000 from the Ohio Department of Public Safety after the Highway Patrol opened a new Wood County post in 2007 near Bowling Green. Some residents questioned the need to buy property already funded by tax revenues but the purchase proved to be prescient in 2010 when a tornado ripped through the township and demolished the Cummings Road building. Dispatching operations had already been moved from there to the Lemoyne Road facility and, after the storm, the police department operated from Lemoyne Road until a new administration building was constructed. The trustees Tuesday authorized the purchase of radio signal repeating equipment for $1,475 and directed Fire Chief Bruce Moritz to have it installed on the tower at the Lemoyne Road site. Moritz had recommended the purchase because signals from the sheriff’s dispatching system are not strong enough to consistently activate personal pagers used by the township’s firefighters. The sheriff’s department has also recently started providing dispatching services for the Village of Walbridge and City of Rossford. Previously, they had contracted with

Lake Township for the service. The trustees are considering having the township’s parks and buildings department move to the Lemoyne Road facility. Park supervisor Ron Hanely has floated a proposal to convert an acre or so at the site into a dog park. Tax hearing In other business, the trustees agreed to hold a second public hearing May 12 at 6 p.m. to consider an increase in the motor vehicle permissive tax. The trustees are considering an increase of $5 to bolster funding for road improvements. If enacted, the tax would be paid by vehicle owners living in the unincorporated areas of the township. Vicki Schwamberger, fiscal officer, said the township’s current funding of roads “can barely make ends meet.” By enacting a permissive tax, the burden of maintaining roads would be spread among residents other than property owners, who are already paying a tax levy for roads. “We have to increase revenue somehow. We have no choice,” said Melanie Bowen, a trustee.

Former fiscal clerk settles grievances By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press The grievances of former Genoa fiscal clerk Charles Brinkman were settled in private rather than in a public forum. Brinkman, who was fired in late March days before he was set to retire, was supposed to have a public grievance hearing during Monday’s regular meeting of village council. However, prior to that, village solicitor Brian Ballenger met with Brinkman’s lawyer, Thomas Sobecki, who specializes in employment matters, and negotiated a settlement.

Village council entered executive session Monday and then returned and voted unanimously to accept the package, according to Village Administrator Kevin Gladden. Brinkman, 62, who worked for the village for eight years, will be reimbursed for all of his accumulated 240 vacation hours as well as 260 hours of sick leave, Gladden said. Brinkman earned about $62,000 annually at the time of his dismissal and had accrued more than 1,000 hours of sick time. He also received a full copy of his personnel file. Brinkman’s firing followed a number of recent missteps including missed deadlines and lost documents, according to the administrator. One of the biggest issues of late was the forgotten payment to cover village employee’s health insurance for the first quarter of 2015. The health insurance has been restored. Brinkman insisted in two previous interviews that the error was fixed quickly and employees were not out any money. He had no other comment regarding his employment. However, Gladden contends some health insurance glitches took weeks to resolve and village employees and their families were needlessly caused a lot of frustration. Soon after the mistake was discovered, Brinkman turned in his retirement paperwork. The village responded by hiring an interim clerk, Mark Stahl of Allen Township, to work with Brinkman while a replacement was found. The new clerk, Julie Van Nest, of Bradner, begins work May 18. She current-

ly works as the fiscal officer for the village of Bradner and had been previously employed by Jerusalem Township, Gladden said. Her starting pay is $52, 500. She will not get a contract. Village leaders eliminated the contract system a few years ago. Administration members are now evaluated annually based on merit. And as the weeks wind down to the new clerk’s arrival, Stahl is toiling away on a large balance of paperwork left in the aftermath of the disruption. His key objective is patching together the village’s unfinished 2014 end- of- year report that was supposed to be turned in by March 31. “He never worked on it and did not notify the interim clerk that it was due,” Gladden said of Brinkman. As a result, Genoa village officials are not sure where the general fund stands, the state of tax collection and what other fees and liabilities are outstanding. The reinstatement fee for the health insurance alone is expected to be several hundred dollars but the figures have not been solidified, Gladden said. In coming weeks, larger projects will be put on hold until the financial issues are resolved. “For anything out of the general fund we just need to cool it. We’re fighting too many back fires right now,” Gladden said. The situation means the village also plans to put off seeking federal and state grants for a proposed bicycle trail. Genoa intends to be part of the North Coast Inland Trail already stretching across a number of Ohio counties and has been working for years to achieve the goal. However, the village cannot formally commit to its share in its current financial state, Gladden said. Grant applications will likely be submitted next year.

Boater education course An Ohio Boating Education Course will be offered in two sessions Monday, May 18 and Wednesday May 20 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Bass Pro Shops, 10000 Bass Pro Blvd., Rossford.

Genoa schools

Welcome hand extended to Ferguson By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press A community introduction of Genoa schools’ new superintendent was quiet and unassuming. Turnout was low for the two-hour meet and greet May 3, at the Genoa Elementary School cafeteria. “It’s beautiful out,” Principal Brenda Murphy said understandably. “People probably are out enjoying themselves.” Still, Michael Ferguson took advantage of the time to shake hands with those present and discuss everything from his administration style to school funding. “Welcome,” parent Jeff Trainer said extending his hand to Ferguson. “You’re coming to a community that’s awesome … and tired.” Trainer explained that it was the tail end of a long weekend that started with the elementary carnival and ended with the high school after-prom. Ferguson is currently employed in Rootstown, Ohio, near Akron in Portage County, and will join Superintendent Dennis Mock during his last 10 days on the job in late July. Mock is retiring after 21 years with Genoa and nearly 41 years in the educational system. Ferguson officially takes over Aug. 1. His starting salary is $94,000 annually. Rootstown is just a little smaller than the Genoa school system. Trainer has family who used to live in the Rootstown area and jokingly told Ferguson they did some checking on him. “We called and asked ‘Are we doing you a favor?’ or ‘Are you doing us a favor?’” Trainer said referring to Ferguson’s background and his pending arrival in Comet Country. It was a clear endorsement, Trainer smiled. “We are definitely doing you a favor,” was the response. Ferguson, 55, originally is from California. But he moved east to southern Ohio in his college years. His entire family, including his parents, followed suit in the years after.

said in previous interviews. Tuesday night, though, Genoa voters came to the rescue. Heralds of “Thank you voters” appeared on school marquees and school websites Wednesday morning. According to unofficial results from the Ottawa County Board of Elections, 69 percent of voters, or 1,616 residents, voted in favor of the 5-mill renewal levy. The additional emergency levy of 6.38 mills for five years begins in 2016 and generates just over $1 million to help fund programs and pay for teacher salaries and school materials. Fifty-seven percent of voters, or 1,330 people, voted in favor of the additional levy. The renewal levy, originally passed in 1990, now generates about $400,000 annually and would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $83 per year, according to Bill Nye, district treasurer. The emergency levy will increase taxes on a $100,000 home by about $225 annually. Brossia said on Sunday he worried that cutting vital enrichment programs like art, music and physical education would mean a loss of some new energy generated by the young and innovative teachers now leading those classes. They would easily be snatched up by other districts. Brossia said he believed community empowerment would be the success factor behind any victory. The Support Genoa Schools committee created the “Genoa Strong” theme early in the year and put momentum into community forums, voter registration and door-to-door campaigns. “Interest was great. We had about 100 people at our first meeting and attendance was steady – about 35 to 40 people – at follow up meetings every two weeks,” Brossia said. He especially thanked Joel Pinkerton, his wife, Joanne, and Jere Witt for their leadership and enthusiasm in working diligently for levy passage. “They all put a lot of effort into it,” he said.

“I’ve grown to love it here. It’s (California) a fun place to visit but I’m more comfortable raising my kids here with conservative Midwestern values,” said Ferguson. He and wife, Meghan, have four children – twin daughters age 23 and two sons, 21 and 20. The Genoa area attracted him for a number of reasons but size really drew him in. “Part of my responsibility is knowing what’s going on in the district. I can’t do that if I am stuck behind the desk in a larger district or tied to meetings all days,” Ferguson said. He also liked the consolidated campus and easy walking access to all the school buildings. A few members of the current administration were among the 11 who applied for the job. They interviewed well but board members said they agreed they needed to introduce new blood into the system. Ferguson was the ninth and final interview. “After the interview we knew this was the guy,” board member Chris Goetz said. “We all agreed on that.” “Mike was very at ease talking to us. We all liked that,” board president Jim Brossia agreed. Brossia noted Ferguson had a well rounded background also. He has a special education background and he has worked both as an elementary and high school principal as well as an athletic director. “Mike is very hands on. He wants to be in the community and in the halls interacting with the kids,” Brossia added. Ferguson also has experience in joining with the community to get levies passed. And that was not lost on Genoa officials who were anxiously counting down the days to the May 5 election when two vital levies loomed – a renewal and a new emergency levy. A loss would mean personnel cuts and force Genoa to drop its music, art and physical education programs and hike pay-to-play fees, Mock had

Oregon fire division to replace older equipment The Oregon Fire Division is planning to upgrade some of its older equipment, including handheld radios and cardiac monitors/defibrillators/AEDs. The division expects to buy 15 handheld radios per year until it can replace all 55 of the current radios in use. The city was notified two years ago that service, support, and replacement parts would no longer be available for the radios. Oregon council on Monday will consider the purchase of 15 APX6000 700/800 Model 2.5 800 MHz portable radios and accessories from P&R Communications Service, Inc., Oregon, for $44,507.25 for the fire division. The current portable radios will be serviced until there are no more parts available, said Fire Chief Paul Mullen last Monday at a committee of the whole meeting.

“ “

And we’re not disposing them

“This is a preventative measure on our part. We will replace the [current] radios every year until we have our allotment of portable radios replaced,” said Mullen. The fire division will also be upgrading three existing monitor/defibrillators/ AED and accessories. Council on Monday will consider the purchase of three LifePak 15 v4 models from Physio-Control, Inc., of Redmond, WA, for $112,711.20. “We currently have six LifePak monitors made by Phillips,” said Mullen. “Replacing three of them will “bring us into

line with what Lucas County EMS has and our current Life Squad status.” Physio-Control is a sole-source provider for the equipment, he said. “They manufacture and sell their own monitors. Our upgrades would include the battery charger station and carrying case,” he said. “Currently, three of the six we’ll be replacing we will be putting on three rescue engines we have. This is a line item purchase in the budget, just as the radios were,” he said. Council President Dennis Walendzak asked Mullen how long such devices usually last. Mullen said the current devices were purchased in 2007 and 2008. “And we’re not disposing them,” he said. “They won’t be traded in. We’re still going to have them here. They never go out of service. We’ve had some other AEDs that have gone out of service. Physio-Control no longer services them. So we’re constantly

in a replacement policy. But the ones that we’ll be replacing now, we’ll put on our rescue engines to be used.” Councilman Jerry Peach wanted to know whether the batteries of the devices are checked. “In addition to the expertise and skill required to operate these,” said Peach, “perhaps one of the most important factors that allows these to be successful is the battery life of these units. How often do we check battery lives of these units to make sure they will function the way we need them to function?” “These units do a self test every 24 hours on their own,” said Mullen. “The Life Squad checks theirs on a daily basis. The part-time firefighters check weekly the five BLS squads that we have. They are plugged in constantly. And with this particular monitor that we’re buying, they will have lithium-ion batteries instead of the old NiCad (Nickel-Cadmium) batteries to get extended battery life.”

Oregon to award contract for repaving Corduroy Road Kokosing Construction Company, Inc., of Elyria, submitted the lowest bid to resurface Corduroy Road in Oregon. Council last August authorized the city to be part of a joint cooperation agreement with Lucas County Commissioners for grant and loan funding from the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) equal to 47.29 percent of construction costs, with a maximum of $233,300 for the construction of the project. The city in January advertised for bids. They were received and opened on April 23. Besides Kokosing, five companies bid on the project. Kokosing had the lowest bid at $346,758.50. “Kokosing was the lowest bid. It does meet with the city’s best bid criteria,” Public Service Director Paul Roman said

at a committee of the whole meeting on Monday. The bids, he added, were “very competitive.” Crestline Paving & Excavating, Toledo,

bid $444,374; The Shelly Co., of Maumee, bid $383,376; Henry W. Bergman, Inc., Genoa, bid $372,370; Bowers Asphalt & Paving, Inc., Walbridge, bid $352,695; and Gerken Paving, Napoleon, bid $352,033. Council is expected to approve Kokosing’s bid on Monday. The city will resurface 4.03 miles of Corduroy, between Stadium and Decant roads, with 1.77 miles within Oregon, and 2.26 miles within Jerusalem Township, according to Roman. The work includes milling the existing asphalt surface, performing spot full depth repairs, placing a two course asphalt overlay, manhole and monument box adjustment, bringing drives and shoulders to grade, and pavement markings. Also at the meeting, Mayor Mike Seferian said the city has completed the planting of over 100 trees and shrubs in celebration of Arbor Day last month. He said he had presented a proclamation for Arbor Day, which usually includes

the plantings of trees and shrubs each year. Seferian said 102 trees and shrubs were planted along the Starr Avenue Extension. “It’s really a nice design,” said Seferian. “They’re fairly decent sized trees and shrubs that have been planted. For your information, when council authorized the planting of trees on Stadium Road relocate, many wondered if it would ever get off the ground. It will actually get started this week. You’ll start to see different colored stakes going into the ground, and shortly after that, you’ll see the actual plantings.” The city planted a record number of trees and shrubs this year, he said. “We hope we can see something we can be proud of in the future. You can start to feel what the future will bring in the tranquil environment being created down there. Down the road, not too many years hopefully, we’ll really be able to see our recreation complex bring on additional character with the enhancement of those trees,” he said.

Sen. Gardner will host public forum on state budget bill By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com State Senator Randy Gardner (R-Bowling Green) will host a public forum May 11 at 9 a.m. to discuss the pending state operating budget bill at the Bob Evans Restaurant in Levis Commons in Perrysburg. As passed by the House of Representatives, the bill projects General Revenue Fund appropriations (state and federal monies) of $34.95 billion in fiscal year 2016, which starts July 1 of this year, and $36.57 billion in fiscal 2017 – increases of 11.4 percent and 4.7 percent respectively, according to the Ohio Legislative Service Commission. The increase of 11.4 percent is largely attributable to the inclusion of Medicaid funding for newly eligible individu-

als, according to the Legislative Services Commission. The House version also includes a new funding component for public schools. Called capacity aid, it targets funds to districts below the median in total taxable property value and adds about $260.7 million in fiscal 2016 and $260.8 million in fiscal 2017 to the funding formula before a cap takes effect. Reimbursements for local governments losing revenues due to utility deregulation and the elimination of the tangible personal property tax continue to be phased down. Appropriations for the reimbursements are being reduced from $127.6 million in fiscal 2015 to $66.1 million in fiscal 2016 and $40.4 million in fiscal 2017. Although the Local Government Fund will continue to receive 1.66 percent of General Revenue Fund tax revenues in fiscal 2016 and 2017, the share for the Public

Library Fund will increase to 1.7 percent. The bill also contains changes in tax policies, including income tax cuts and small business tax cuts. The House of Representatives passed its version of the budget on April 22 and the Senate will amend the bill and vote in early June, Sen. Gardner said. The forum will conclude at 10:30 a.m. Reservations are not required. Sen. Gardner has also held budget forums in Erie and Ottawa counties. The budget must be balanced and signed into law by the governor by June 30, he said. Some area officials intend to voice their opinions on what they see as a continuing shift of the tax burden onto local jurisdictions. “I am planning to share the concern I have of reduced revenue from Ohio to local municipalities - such as Walbridge,”

Mayor Ed Kolanko said. “I also want to stress with Senator Gardner the need for Wood County services - Wood County Committee on Aging and Wood County Public Libraries - for example, that also rely on funding from the state. I feel more and more of the cost is being redirected from the state to local government and individual taxpayers.” Tim Krugh, president of the Lake school board, and Jeff Carpenter, Lake treasurer, also plan to attend. Carpenter said the school district has lost about 12 percent its property tax base when the state shifted to a Commercial Activity Tax and phased out taxes on tangible personal property on businesses and public utilities. Reimbursements for the lost taxes have also been phased out.

Invisible but effective forces are at work in your life Just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or is ineffective. You are surrounded by invisible, yet potent natural forces. Gravity, temperature, wind, and electricity are some examples. Although invisible, the evidence of their power is indisputable. When properly harnessed, these forces produce awesome results. Hydroelectric dams utilize gravity to produce electricity. Boiling water powers steam engines. Wind propels ships. And electricity drives virtually every aspect of technology. There are also amazingly powerful invisible forces within you which produce incredible results when properly tapped. Willpower, determination, drive, discipline, persistence, attitude, and positive thoughts are all examples of your internal natural resources. Willpower provides the mental energy needed to move forward. It’s a commitment to accomplish your objective. Rather than trying to get something done, make a commitment to yourself that you will be successful. Willpower gives you determination

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden to do whatever is necessary to reach your destination. Determination is needed to solve problems and overcome obstacles. Determination prevents you from giving up. Since you only fail when you give up, determination averts failure. Discipline enables you to make progress even when you don’t feel like it. Discipline powers you to keep at your task, one step at a time, regardless of how far you have to go. Discipline is the fuel that prevents you from quitting even when your progress is slower than expected. Persistence is the relentless force which keeps you getting up each time you stumble or fall, no matter how many times you falter. Persistence transforms setbacks into comebacks. Persistence is unstoppable.

The people and circumstances you attract in life are determined by your attitude. A positive, can do attitude attracts what you want and need. Your attitude is a powerful force which impacts every aspect of your life. Attitude is what differentiates the successful from those who give up. Your thoughts emanate from your attitude. Positive thoughts generate a positive dialogue you use when speaking to yourself. Your self-talk programs your mind to either succeed or fail. Your mind works constantly to bring your thoughts to reality. Tell your mind what you can and will do and it looks for ways to succeed. Conversely, a mind fed with excuses for failure actually seeks to sabotage success. Invisible forces must be harnessed in order to have a positive impact. A waterfall generates nothing until a dam is put into place. A sailboat without sails drifts aimlessly. Raw electricity in the form of lightning will not power anything. Uncontained steam produced by a boiling pot of water disperses ineffectually into the air. Similarly, your internal forces accomplish nothing unless consciously chan-

neled by you. Possessing an unused asset is no different than not having it at all. A person who says, “I have willpower but I never use it,” is in the same position as the person who doesn’t have any willpower at all. This principle also applies to determination, drive, discipline, persistence, attitude, and positive thoughts; if you don’t use them, they provide no benefit. For something invisible to be effective, its energy must be applied to accomplish something specific. Your internal forces exist regardless of whether or not you believe in them. There are many people who dismiss the power they hold as nonsense. They claim to have tried all that “positive motivational stuff” but it just doesn’t work. Pay no attention to these detractors. There are countless examples of the outstanding results achieved when people tap into and use their internal forces. You can and will experience wonderful outcomes when you utilize your invisible but effective forces.

Maybe it’s time to start drinking outside of the box? By Jill Richardson I recently checked out an upscale yoga studio here in Madison, Wisconsin and discovered a new and disturbing trend: boxed water. Boxed water? OK, I’ve heard of boxed wine — and maybe even drunk a little. But water? The yoga studio in question appeals to a young, wealthy, presumably eco-conscious demographic. As the skinny, beautiful clients file into the heated room with their yoga mats, they pass a refrigerator case of boxed water and a sign proclaiming its environmental benefits. These supposed benefits come from packaging water in a box instead of a plastic bottle. Plastic is bad for the planet, after all, and milk carton-style boxes don’t have the BPA and other estrogenic chemicals that you can ingest by drinking plasticstored liquids. I don’t know which genius figured that the best way to fix the problems of bottled water is to package it in boxes. But I’ve got an even better idea: drink tap water in reusable water bottles. You could even get extravagant and filter the tap water before drinking it. Think all the way back to, I don’t know, 1985. Back then, the only bottled water readily available was that Perrier stuff. Nobody I knew drank it. We weren’t poor, but throwing money away on fancy French water seemed ridiculous when water came out of the tap for free. I’d have been taking an aerobics class instead of yoga, no doubt. Complete with sweatbands and leg warmers. And if any-

Guest Editorial one wanted to drink water during the class, they’d either bring a reusable water bottle from home or just drink from the drinking fountain. Bringing your own bottle takes a little bit of extra planning, and an initial investment — I’m attached to my stainless steel Klean Kanteen — but after that it’s free. Using the drinking fountain requires no planning and costs nothing. It might in-

volve the extra “hassle” of lining up for a drink. Are these drawbacks so insurmountable that the only way we can imagine ditching bottled water is by consuming it out of disposable boxes that wind up in landfills? There’s one other problem with bottled water that has nothing at all to do with the bottle. It has to do with the water. Do you have any idea where the water in bottled water comes from? Some brands, like Starbucks’ Ethos, bottle up California’s dwindling water supply and sell it around the country at a profit. Arrowhead, Crystal Geyser, Dasani, and Aquafina all source water from California, too.

Enough is enough To the editor: The voters of the Oregon School District should wake up and look what’s happening. The school board will be asking for an operating levy to allow raises for administrators, teachers and, last but not least, the hourly workers, who will receive very little. Teachers receive a step raise almost every year that is a percentage of their salary. If contract negotiations call for a raise, they also receive that. So in the course of a year, they may receive two raises. I am a retired school employee. I was supposed to receive a set amount of money for my retirement, but as time went on, there were added costs, which reduced my allotted money. I have not had a raise in almost 18 years. I have to live on this money. I have to budget very tightly. I cannot afford another raise in taxes. The school system should learn how to budget. Enough is enough. If they can’t live

on what they earn, then too bad. The school board will threaten with cuts in services, layoffs of hourly personnel and teachers but remember, there is hardly any work out in public life so be happy with what you have and move on. John J. Nyers, Sr. Jerusalem Township

Drought-stricken California loses its water, and the American public pays for something it should get for free out of the tap. That’s a pretty bad deal for everyone except the bottled water companies. It’s especially galling when you consider that nearly half of all the bottled stuff is just filtered tap water, anyway. So, yuppies at the yoga studio — and everyone else — there is a way to reduce your bottled water environmental footprint. It’s by swapping out the water, not the container.

Notorious Civil War spy had Toledo connections The Civil War ended 150 years ago last month. The Toledo Museum of Art still has two more months of programming to coincide with its exhibit The American Civil War through the Artists’ Eyes. But, after that, the war that accounted for the most U.S. Military deaths in our nation’s history will be relegated once more to the back pages. I’ve written a number of columns about local men and their contributions to the Union cause. These included two stories about Andrews’ Raiders and their failed mission to steal a Confederate train named The General. Two of the men, Elihu Mason from Pemberville and Wilson Brown from East Toledo, were among the first ever to be awarded the Medal of Honor. Another story was about Battery H First Ohio Light Artillery and its performance at Cold Harbor, Virginia. Another one was about the Gilbert Gaul painting depicting those efforts and which is currently the centerpiece of the Toledo Museum’s show. I also wrote about a church in Oregon that was a spur on the Underground Railroad. All these columns were about men; this one is about a woman, Belle Boyd, the notorious spy. Her local connections are that she was once captured by a soldier from East Toledo and later in life she married a Toledoan. According to the website for the National Women’s History Museum, Boyd’s exploits started when a Union soldier in-

She was later acquitted and, at age 17, she became a messenger for Confederate Generals Pierre Beauregard and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. In this role, she delivered correspondence and medical supplies and confiscated weapons. Much of her success could be attributed to her engaging personality and her youth. Union leaders just couldn’t believe she was deliberately spying on them. In one account, which appeared in The Toledo Blade on March 1, 1944, the author writes that when Union soldiers who occupied her town of Martinsburg, Virginia would come to visit, she would slip out and steal their swords and revolvers which they had left unattended in the hall. The article adds that Boyd was “accurate and speedy in reporting troop movements, describing gun emplacements and ammunition dumps.” The article further describes how brave she was. When she overheard Union plans to attack General Jackson at Port Royal,

Chateau Tebeau Winery ~Tours~Tasting Room~Menu~Entertainment~

“She rode through the Northern lines, dodging the bullets, fording rivers, and arrived, according to legend, looking fresh and lovely.” She rode straight uphill to Gen. Jackson and informed him his troops outnumbered the Yankees and they could attack. They did and General Jackson gave her “major credit” for the victory. Boyd was arrested numerous times and spent time in prison. She was once captured by East Toledoan John Solomon Ashbrook who was on a secret service mission as a scout with Captain John P. Baggs, leader of a Union Guerrilla unit known as the “Snake Hunters.” This was according to Ashbrook’s description recounted in the book The Civil War and East Toledo by Larry Michaels and Jeff Eversman. Near the end of the war, she headed to England in an attempt to garner British support for the south. She was stopped at a blockade, arrested and, according to the National Women’s History Museum, “deported to Canada under pain of death should she return to the United States.” She soon fled from Canada to England where she published an autobiography titled Belle Boyd, In Camp and Prison (1865) and there she married a Union Naval officer who died a year later. Her exploits earned her the nicknames, “The Siren of the Shenandoah” and the “Rebel Joan of Arc.”

After the war, Boyd launched an acting career which lasted until 1869. She retired and married a traveling salesman. The couple had four children, but divorced in 1884. The following year she married Nathaniel Rue High, an actor from Toledo. She was 41, he was 24. She resumed her stage career acting out her Civil War exploits, according to the website latinlibrary.com. She debuted the show in Toledo in February of 1886. The two traveled the country with her performing and High acting as business manager. She died in 1900 while on tour at age 56 in Kilbourn, Wisconsin. She is buried there. The full story is told on the National Women’s History Museum website. She is in good company here. Other courageous women profiled on the site include Nellie Bly, journalist; Sacajawea, the Lewis and Clark guide; and Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American to be beatified by the Catholic Church. The website states, “Belle Boyd was daring in an highly visible way that scorned the era’s standard for ladies, and she took great advantage of the common assumption that women could not be dangerous: arrested six times, imprisoned three times, and exiled twice, she set a record for any spy. If a male spy had behaved similarly, he probably would have been executed.” Comment by email to zoz@presspublications.com

Health Published second week of month.

ProMedica plans $350 million replacement tower project ProMedica is preparing to embark on the largest, single construction project in its history – a $350 million dollar replacement tower on the campus of ProMedica Toledo Hospital and Toledo Children’s Hospital. The health system announced plans to build a 302-bed patient care tower to replace the nearly 90-year-old facility on North Cove Boulevard. The 13-story structure, scheduled to open in 2019, will include larger and all private rooms featuring user-friendly technology for patients and families. The project, dubbed “Generations of Care,” will be managed by The Lathrop Company and is expected to employ more than 1,000 local construction workers. “This project marks a momentous milestone in ProMedica’s history and will transform our campus into a leading destination for high-quality care in the region,” said Arturo Polizzi, president, Toledo Hospital and Toledo Children’s Hospital. “It’s so much more than bricks and mortar – it’s about sustaining the health and well-being for families across Northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan for decades to come.” Guided by a focus to provide the best possible patient experience, the design of the “Generations” replacement tower was developed through comprehensive studies of hospital processes, with significant input from physicians, nurses, clinical staff and support team members. The new tower’s design will include features to enhance the quality of patient care and effectively meet the treatment and

(Courtesy of ProMedica) recovery needs of the region’s most critically-ill patients. Design highlights include: • More time for care. Room design and floor layouts will be designed to reduce walking time by more than 50 percent. Currently, nurses walk up to three miles in a 12-hour shift.

• Better access to caregivers. All private and “smart” rooms will feature userfriendly technology which will provide patients more immediate access to nurses, dietitians and environmental services. • Enhanced nurse and physician communication. Optimized floor and room layouts will make it easier for nurses and phy-

sicians to connect and collaborate to provide more efficient, safe and high-quality patient care. • Keeping families connected. Because staying connected to loved ones is a vital part of the recovery process, intensive care unit rooms will be more than 50 percent larger to comfortably accommodate loved ones for overnight visits. Accessible, at-thedoor parking also will reduce stress and save time for visitors. “ProMedica is deeply devoted to our region’s future and by making this investment today, we can make sure that our children and grandchildren have access to the best possible care,” Polizzi said. Site preparation for the Generations replacement tower will get underway by the end of the year. The actual construction phase is expected to start by mid-2016. ProMedica Toledo Hospital, formerly The Toledo Hospital, has a rich history that dates back to 1874. The original hospital was located next to the Valentine H. Ketcham Homestead at the corner of Cherry and Bancroft streets. The first building on the existing North Cove Boulevard campus, dubbed the Legacy tower, opened in 1930. The hospital performed the first open heart surgery in Toledo in 1959 and opened its first cardiovascular laboratory in 1960. It was named a Level I Trauma Center in 1999. Toledo Children’s Hospital was established in 1994. For more information about ProMedica Toledo Hospital, visit www.promedica.org/ toledo.

Safe in the Shade

Ribbon-cutting planned for Lake playground shade structure A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held Friday, May 22 at 2 p.m. to dedicate the shade structure installed at Lake Elementary School. The structure, which cost just under $15,000, was donated by “Safe in the Shade” Melanoma Foundation, founded by Cindy Pickett and Eleanor Riffle in 2009 with the goal of promoting skin cancer awareness, with an emphasis on prevention and early detection. The women were on a mission to spare others the heartache they went through in 2005 when Cindy’s son (and Eleanor’s sonin-law) Micah was diagnosed with metastatic malignant melanoma at the age of 23. With treatment, including chemotherapy, Micah survived the cancer. “Little did I know when we started Safe in the Shade how the passion would grow for me and for Eleanor, too,” Pickett said, adding that her mother also battled melanoma and in late 2013, she lost her husband to the deadly form of skin cancer. Annual Safe in the Shade walk/run events held at Maumee Bay State Park put sun safety in the spotlight and also raised funds for the non-profit foundation, with the goal of supporting skin cancer research and purchasing protective sun shades for

local school playgrounds. Lake Elementary was chosen as the first school to benefit from the foundation’s efforts, because Micah and his wife are alumni of the school. Though the structure was installed a few months ago, Pickett and Riffle chose to hold the ribbon-cutting ceremony in May in conjunction with Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month. The women urge adults and children alike to stay “safe in the shade” and follow these tips from the Skin Cancer Foundation: • Use a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher whenever you spend time outdoors. This applies to all outdoor activities including athletics, walking or jogging, gardening, even waiting for a bus. Use a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher every day. For extended outdoor activity, use a water-resistant broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Apply liberally and evenly to all exposed skin. Not using enough will effectively reduce the product’s SPF and the protection you get. Be sure to cover often-missed spots – lips, ears, around eyes, neck, scalp if hair is thinning, hands, and feet.

Reapply at least every two hours, more often if some of the product may have been removed while swimming, sweating, or towel-drying. Choose a product that suits your skin and your activity. Sunscreens are available in lotion, gel, spray, cream, and stick forms. Some are labeled as water resistant, sweatproof, fragrance-free or hypoallergenic. • Cover up. Tightly woven fabrics and dark colors, such as deep blue and black, or bright colors, such as orange and red, offer more protection. If you can see light through a fabric, UV rays can get through too. A broad-brimmed hat goes a long way toward preventing skin cancer in often-exposed areas like the neck, ears, scalp and face. Opt for a three- to four-inch brim that extends all around the hat. Baseball caps and visors shade the face but leave neck, lower face and ears exposed. UV-blocking sunglasses with wraparound or large frames protect your eyelids and the sensitive skin around your eyes, common sites for skin cancer and sun-induced aging. Sunglasses also help reduce the risk of cataracts later in life. • Seek the shade. Be aware, however, that sunlight bouncing off reflective surfac-

es can reach you even beneath an umbrella or a tree. • Never seek a tan. There is no such thing as a healthy tan. A tan is the skin’s response to the sun’s damaging rays. Stay away from tanning parlors and artificial tanning devices. The UV radiation emitted by indoor tanning lamps is many times more intense than natural sunlight. Dangers include burns, premature aging of the skin, and the increased risk of skin cancer. • Protect children and teach them sun safety at an early age. Healthy habits are best learned young. Because skin damage occurs with each unprotected exposure and accumulates over the course of a lifetime, sun safety for children should be a priority. And remember to look for warning signs of skin cancer. The Ohio Academy of Family Physicians suggests you look for: • Unusual sores, lumps or blemishes that last for several weeks; • Areas of skin that become scaly, itchy, tender or red; • Areas of skin that ooze, bleed or become crusty.

Mercy and Aetna join to lower costs Aetna and Mercy have announced a new accountable care collaboration in the Toledo area that is designed to lower costs, improve care and keep people healthy rather than just treating them when they are sick. Together, Aetna and Mercy are introducing Aetna Whole Health, a new commercial health care product that provides Aetna members in employer or other group health plans with coordinated care through a strong primary care physician network, seven hospitals and comprehensive outpatient services in the Aetna Whole Health Mercy Health network. Aetna is working with health care organizations nationwide to develop products and services that support value-driven, patient-centered care for consumers. Nationally, about 3.2 million Aetna members receive care from doctors committed to the value-based approach, with 28 percent of Aetna claims payments going to doctors and providers who practice value-based care. Aetna has committed to increasing that number to 50 percent by 2018 and 75 percent by 2020. In Ohio, Aetna has 35 percent of its

members served through value-based collaborative arrangements, including ACOs, with the intent to reach more than 45 percent of its members in 2015. “Improving health while lowering costs is what this new network is about,” said Nitin Bhargava, president of Aetna’s Ohio operations. “People in the Toledo area will see a more connected health system that is designed to keep them healthier. At the same time, businesses that sponsor health plans for their employees will be able to manage costs more efficiently and become more competitive.” Aetna Whole Health – Mercy Health plans are designed to give businesses better health care options for their employees in Fulton, Henry, Huron, Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca, and Wood counties. The plans feature a new model of health care delivery designed to offer: • More coordinated, team-based care among doctors and other care providers; • Enhanced patient experience through management programs and technology that delivers information to all providers; • Lower overall out-of-pocket costs for members who see providers that are part of

the Mercy Health network; and • Better health care outcomes. Self-insured businesses can purchase Aetna Whole Health – Mercy Health now, while fully insured businesses were able to request quotes for the product beginning May 1, for an effective date of July 1. “This agreement is part of our transformation to help keep patients healthier and also better manage their health care costs,” said Imran Andrabi, MD, CEO and chief network integration officer for Mercy. “Through this innovative relationship with Aetna, we are more successful when we help patients to be well. The Aetna plan encourages excellent primary care, preventive screenings and better care for chronic conditions than more traditional health plans. The outcome is better health for our patients, which is what we strive for.” Aetna is working with health care organizations across the country to develop products and services that support valuedriven, patient-centered care. Aetna’s solutions help all types of patients, regardless of payer. Information about Accountable Care Solutions from Aetna is available at www.aetnaacs.com.

Give the gift of time and love on mom’s day By Erin Thompson Social Security Public Affairs What do you plan to do for Mom this Mother’s Day? If she’s like most Americans, she probably feels time-constrained and the hours she spends with family and friends are precious. So, in addition to giving her flowers or a card, give her a gift she’ll really appreciate – the chance to spend more time with the ones she loves. While spending time with your mom, you can help her quickly and easily sign up for a free, online my Social Security account. You can do it from home, which means less time waiting in line, and more time doing the things you want to do together. Signing up for a my Social Security

account will give Mom the tools she needs to stay on top of her future Social Security benefits. When she signs up at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount, she can do a number of things. First and foremost, she can plan for her retirement. Mom can never start planning for retirement too early. If she isn’t already retired, she can view her Social Security Statement, verify her earnings records, and find out what benefits she can expect to receive at age 62, her full retirement age, or at age 70. Is Mom thinking of retiring at a different age? It’s easy to get instant, personalized benefit estimates, too. Just escort Mom to the Retirement Estimator, where she can plug in different scenarios to find out how much she can expect in Social Security benefits. She can also plug in different future wage amounts to see how her future

benefits can be affected by when she retires and how much she contributes. Visit the Retirement Estimator at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator. As she continues to work and earn wages, she can use her My Social Security account to keep track of and verify her annual earnings. If Mom has already retired and receives Social Security benefits, she can use her account to: • Get an instant letter with proof of her benefits; • Change her address and phone number; and • Start or change direct deposit of her benefit payment. The time saved by using our convenient and secure online services is priceless.

More than 3 million Americans stutter Stuttering Awareness Week, which begins May 11, offers an opportunity to focus public attention on the complex disorder that touches 70 million people around the world and more than three million in the U.S. alone. “Actions speak so much louder than words,” said Jane Fraser, president of the nonprofit Stuttering Foundation. “This year, the focus of our effort to celebrate Stuttering Awareness Week is to spotlight helpful activities everyone can do for the people who stutter in their lives. One in five children stutters for at least a short period of time, and one in 100 adults struggles with fluency on a regular basis. Most people know someone – a family member, a friend, a coworker or a classmate – who stutters.” Stuttering may look like an easy problem that can be solved with some simple advice, but for many adults, it can be a chronic life-long disorder. Six tips for speaking with someone who stutters •. Don’t make remarks like: “Slow down,” “Take a breath,” or “Relax.” Such simplistic advice can be felt as demeaning and is not helpful. • Let the person know by your manner that you are listening to what is being said, not how he or she is saying it. • Maintain natural eye contact and wait patiently and naturally until the person is finished. • You may be tempted to finish sentences or fill in words. Try not to do so. • Be aware that those who stutter usually have more trouble controlling their speech on the telephone. Be patient in this situation. • Speak in an unhurried way — but not so slowly as to sound unnatural. This promotes good communication with everyone. Learn more at www.stutteringhelp.org/nsaw

Splash, a free water safety and basic swimming skills program, is open to children ages 3-12. “Water safety and swimming are important life skills in the growth and development of all children,” said Wendy Baldwin, aquatics director at the Fort Meigs YMCA Center for Health Promotion. “All children deserve access to water safety resources that not only could save their lives, but enrich them with an outlet for fun, healthy activity.” The Y encourages parents to take an active role in their child’s safety.

At Maumee Bay State Park, Prism Award winners representing Lucas County Clerk of Courts-Oregon Title Office, Elite Team Supply, EnPuzzlement, Person of the Year Lisa Pavley, and Sun Federal Credit Union. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) Throughout 2013 and 2014, EnPuzzlement partnered with the Oregon Kiwanis on several projects. One project involved coming together to make sack lunches for “The Family House” and “The Beach House.” They also partnered during Christmas for a toy and goody bag distribution. EnPuzzlement partnered with the East Toledo YMCA to offer a once-a-month food co-op to local residents. The program gives an option to local residents who may have a need of groceries and hygiene items. It also allows people who may know someone in need, the ability to participate in the program and deliver items to neighbors. Sun Federal Credit Union was founded in 1950 when employees of the Sun Oil Refinery discovered a fellow employee could not get a bank loan to add a front porch to his home. The employees pooled their money and founded the credit union. Since then, membership has grown to include businesses, churches and schools and has over 3,100 members. The credit union supports various community events,

one of which is a small dollar loan program with the Eastern YMCA. Small dollar loans and education are provided to help eligible employees build their credit score and break the payday lender cycle. The program also helps the YMCA improve turnover, tardiness and absenteeism. The credit union has also partnered with food pantries, the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber, East Toledo Family Center, and various schools. The Lucas County Clerk of Courts office, under the direction of Oregon resident Bernie Quilter, employs 72. The office maintains a number of title offices, some of which are located next to license agencies. This arrangement provides the consumer with a one-stop shop for both title and license work. Quilter says the Oregon office is the second busiest in Lucas County, in part thanks to state legislation passed 15 years ago allowing consumers from other counties to shop there. Elite Team Supply was founded in 2012 by Antony Sharples. Sharples started the business on his dining room table and has had two major expansions since then.

“

It is a very artistic job and that is what I like about it.

“

Three Oregon and two Ottawa County businesses took home honors at the 22nd Annual Prism Award ceremony at Maumee Bay State Park Thursday night, hosted by the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce. Oregon winners were the Lucas County Clerk of Courts-Oregon Title Office for General Excellence, Sun Federal Credit Union for the Silver Award and EnPuzzlement as Non-Profit of the Year. From Ottawa County, Varga Custom Concrete is the Small Business of the Year and Elite Team Supply the Newcomer of the Year. Long time community volunteer Lisa Pavley was named Person of the Year and Clay High School student Will Nagy is Young Person of the Year. EnPuzzlement is a non-profit organization that connects donations from corporate America with small community organizations that do not have the ability to receive them. Roy Badenhop is the distribution manager for the warehouse, which is located in Millbury. The nomination came from John Eisenhart, an active community member representing the board of directors of the Eastern YMCA. The organization was founded in 2009 in a garage on Seaman Street in Oregon. It now utilizes a 7,000 square foot warehouse with loading docks, forklifts and more than 100 pallets. Many of these goods are perishable and at one time it was cheaper to landfill them than to disperse them among the many small groups that deliver goods to the less fortunate. It has no employees — all of its workers are volunteers. “Forty percent of everything ends up in landfills while people are struggling with economic security, so we realized that these two conditions shouldn’t exist in the same place,” Badenhop said. “We’ve been kind of the go-between the corporate world and the churches themselves.” During last August’s water crisis when Toledo’s water was unfit for drinking because of toxic algae in Lake Erie, Hope Community Church and EnPuzzlement sponsored two semi-trucks of water and distributed them to East Toledo and the surrounding area. In 2013 and 2014 partnering with the Oregon Health and Welfare Organization, EnpPuzzlement created 200 boxes for families in need during the holidays. They were able to fill baskets of food and other much needed items, like laundry detergent, toilet paper and hygiene items. “We were able to meet the need with a tight budget,” Badenhop wrote in his application.

Now, the company employs three and specializes in screen printing and embroidery for youth sports teams, businesses and wrestlers. Sharples says the business has tripled its sales in each of the last three years, using a state of the art press for screen printing. The company has donated to the community almost $10,000 through its fundraising program, according to Sharples. The company also helped build the Genoa Little League batting cages and provides a fundraising program for youth sports teams. Varga Custom Concrete was founded in 2004. The company employs four to five workers and does stamped concrete, driveways, sidewalks, foundations and excavation work. It was nominated by Croghan Colonial Bank. Chris Vargo is also involved in his community. He has provided labor for Habitat for Humanity homes in Ottawa County and has helped coach youth sports. “It is a very artistic job and that’s what I like about it,” Vargo said. “The nice thing about it is you can make concrete look like just about anything. It’s a very upscale profession and we hope to be in business for a long time to come.” Other Prism finalists included Cuttin’ Loose (Elmore) and the Oregon-Jerusalem Historical Society.

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,

eek: I Got You

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

Owens Community College-bound Jamie Miller (left) and Ohio Northern bound Haley Schiavone. (Press photos by Scott Grau) whole season under our belt and ready to come back on fire and beat them. “I’d like to see quite a few wins and a long tournament run. We can definitely do it,” Schiavone continued. “We’re a strong team. We are picking up where we were last year. We’re struggling because we lost two of our pitchers, but Jamie has come in and she’s done a real good job and we have a solid defense behind her with a very experienced infield. I think we can make it work.” One of their other losses was to an unranked 18-1 Anthony Wayne team, and even Radabaugh hopes that was an anomaly. “Anthony Wayne has a really good pitcher (Kaitlyn Ray) and they have some good hitters, too,” Radabaugh said. “We had one inning where we made an error and a couple walks, and it happened to be with bases loaded. Other than that, we gave them three runs that inning and we lost 7-4. So get rid of that inning, we’re good.” Radabaugh has college potential on her team, too — matter of fact, she has seven whom she says could play college softball, although some are choosing not to. Besides Miller and Schiavone. Brooke Gyori (.400, 26 RBIs) is going to Owens, but to play volleyball. Radabaugh believes Gyori could play softball, too, if she wanted to. Radabaugh believes Baleigh Bocook (.286, 1

HR, 21 RBIs) and Hannah Novak could play collegiately, too, but they are choosing to attend universities for academics only. However, underclassmen Haley Dominique (.522, 1 HR, 24 RBIs, 14 SB) verbally committed to Ball State University and Bekah Yenrick (.491, 2 HR, 18 RBIs) to the University of Toledo. Dominique has also pitched 35 innings and is 5-0 with 36 strikeouts and a 1.40 ERA. Although she didn’t see many innings in the circle with two seniors ahead of her, Miller hit .406 with three home runs and 40 RBI from her first base position last year. For her efforts, she was named first team All-TRAC. This year, Miller replaced graduated pitcher Brooke Gallaher, a second team

all-state selection who went 16-2 with a 2.23 ERA and was first team Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press last year. “I guess I have some big shoes to fill with that because she pitched all those years before,” Miller said. Miller adds that Gallaher was a mentor for her. In 78 innings this year in the circle so far, Miller is 10-3 with 69 strikeouts and a 3.41 ERA and she’s batting .406 with six home runs and 24 RBIs. “She’s doing pretty well,” Radabaugh said. “She’s got decent velocity and decent movement on her pitches. Once in awhile, early in the season, her walks are a few more than what I’d like them to be, but other than that, I’ve been happy. She’s been steadily improving all year long and I’m happy with how she’s doing.” Miller will be the first student-athlete from Clay to play softball at Owens since the duo of Hallie Thompson and Kasey Graham played for Owens from 2011-12. Another recent Clay product, Matea Rice, played for Owens from 2010-11. All three players were members of the program’s 2011 national runner-up team at Owens. “Jamie is going to be a huge asset for us at the plate the next two years,” said Owens coach Marcus Smith. “On top of that, she’s going to give us added depth in the circle, and she helps us add more great local talent to our roster.”

Last year, Clay softball not only defended their TRAC championship, they went on to post a 26-4 overall record and were a perfect 14-0 in the league. Coach Brenda Radabaugh, who has a record of 304-102 in 15 years at Clay, and 457-161 overall, saw her team lose a regional semifinal to Elyria, 8-6, in extra innings. She was last year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Co-Coach of the Year, tying in voting with Eastwood coach Joe Wyant. This year, nothing has changed. Clay has yet to lose a league game, improving to 15-3 overall and 10-0 in the conference. Nearly everyone is back — the only problem was most players moved into new positions on defense. “It’s working out a lot better than I expected, actually,” Radabaugh said. “We’ve had a couple games where we’ve struggled a little bit defensively. Everybody is in a different position from last year except Haley Schiavone at third base. A couple kids came up from JV, a couple kids were non-starters last year and are now starters, and the ones who were starters last year are in a different spot than they were last year as starters. “I was worried that we would have some defensive miscues early in the year, and we’ve had a few, but we’ve had some really good games. We had our most mistakes against (13-3 loss to No. 3 ranked and undefeated) Springfield, and, of course, they are the strongest team we faced so far. When a team hits the ball as hard as they do, your weaknesses start to show a little bit. We had six errors when we played Springfield, so that was an issue,” Radabaugh continued. “We haven’t had an inning with a ton of errors yet, knock on wood. In the Springfield game, we kind of spread them out. It is what it is. Otherwise, we’ve had some pretty good games on defense — we’ve had some no error games and some where we’ve had only one error. I can live with that.” The loss to Springfield was the second game of the year and, of course, as Northwest Ohio goes in April, it was cold. Owens Community College-bound Clay pitcher Jamie Miller believes her team has grown up since then and Schiavone, who will play at NCAA Division III Ohio Northern next year, says if they meet up with the Blue Devils in the tournament, things could go differently. “I think it will be a completely different game,” Schiavone said. “I think the outcome will be different. Honestly, it was early in the season. Springfield is a great team — they have a lot of talent, but we do, too. We’re going to come out with the

Coach hopes Lucas, Okey can qualify for district By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Competing in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference in tennis, no one is expecting Clay to be a perennial champion. St. John’s Jesuit sent two doubles teams to state last year, and one team, then senior Kevin Brown and junior Ryan Brown, were state runners-up, winning three matches at the Ohio State University courts before falling to Cincinnati Sycamore’s Nakul Narendran and Mustafa Ahmad in the final, 6-3, 6-3. In Division II, both Northwest Ohio representatives were from the TRAC — Central Catholic senior Dugan Delp and Findlay junior Reid Teatsorth. Delp won two matches before falling in the semifinals and ended up finishing fourth in a three-set consolation match. This year, Kevin Brown won a TRAC No. 2 singles championship and Teatsorth finished as the No. 1 singles runner-up as St. John’s (26 points) captured its fourth consecutive team championship. The Titans won all of the individual events in straight sets and Findlay (24) finished as runner-up for the fourth consecutive year. That’s what Clay, which is 6-10 in dual meets, has to compete with, but the Eagles finished tied with Central Catholic for fifth in the eight-team league by scoring nine points. St. Francis de Sales (20) was third, Fremont Ross (16) fourth, Whitmer (4) seventh and Lima Senior failed to put points on the board. Clay coach Walt Ralph, who took over in 1996, is approaching his 20th year at the helm. “Generally speaking, we try to compare ourselves to Central, Findlay, and Fremont — we’re kind of right there in that mix,” Ralph said. “The girls at this point are a little step ahead of where the boys are — the boys program has struggled a little bit. Ralph has had to change his strategy a bit because of a change in positions at Oregon Schools. “I took a new job three years ago, moving from the high school to the middle school as a counselor, and it’s really affected the boys program significantly — not being in the building, kicking the bushes and finding athletes to come out and do it,” Ralph said. “I think my next step is to try and take the influence I have at the middle school and see if I can get some of the younger people starting early. But, I’ll have to wait a few years for that to fill its fruit.” That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have talent now. However, of the 14 in his program, almost all are underclassmen. “We’re definitely in rebuild mode again this year, but we have some kids working on it,” Ralph said. “We got some young guys we’re trying to filter in there

and get some experience.” Ralph was blessed to get a Brazilian exchange student, junior Henrique Lucas, who is playing No. 1 singles. “He’s got a real keen sense on how to construct points,” Ralph said. “He moves the ball around nicely, he has terrific footwork. His struggle has been health — his back has been bothering him so he was out of our lineup for about a week and a half or so and that really put a dent in our ability to compete for a week. “Come tournament time, Henrique could possibly be a district qualifier. He’s got pretty good hands at the net, so we had some decisions to make early in the season as to whether to move him to singles or doubles. So, depending on what kind of partner we can come up with, there’s a chance we’ll move him there, too.” When Lucas was hurt, senior Andrew Rumans filled in. Lucas, who finished fifth in the TRAC, is not the first foreign exchange student to try out for tennis at Clay, but Ralph says it’s always a pleasant surprise when one does. “We’ve had a couple exchange students come over and say, ‘Hey, yeah, we’ll play.’ It just seems to be a part of their culture almost, so it’s not a foreign concept for them,” Ralph said. Lucas’ arrival on the scene prompted Ralph to move former singles player Blaze Okey to No. 1 doubles, where he is teaming with Noah Durczynski. Ralph believes they

have a chance to advance out of the sectional tournament into district play. They were fourth in the TRAC, good enough to place in the upper division. Okey, who starred on the football field as a lineman, brings size and power to the game, and doubles fits him. “Blaze has taken it very well. He seems to be enjoying it, and I think he’s having success there, too, which always helps. They won a tournament a couple weeks ago (at Clyde),” Ralph said. “He’s got probably the biggest serve on our team, so that really helps set up his net play, too. He’s got a brother who came through our tennis program, and they get together and hit once in a while.”

Of course, Lucas will head home to Brazil next year, and he’ll lose Schloegl and Rumans to graduation, but Ralph hopes to have freshman Kaden Kim around for a while. Kim comes from a tennis family, so the offseason ethic is there, so for now Ralph has him teamed with senior Jeremiah Berger at No. 2 doubles, but they’ve also teamed him with several others. The tandem finished fourth in the TRAC meet. “Kaden has really taken well with the doubles game to that point that I would think he prefers it over singles, which is kind of new coming in for him,” Ralph said. “He’s very aggressive, looks for opportunities to come to the net, which you like to see at doubles. He’s just really improving at all facets of his game.” To show how Clay tennis is making a name for itself, former Eagle Tyler Ault, who became the second winningest player in Defiance College history, behind his brother, Trevor, is now the head coach at Defiance. “I think it’s cool. Tyler is a just a terrific young man and one of the hardest working players that I can recall, so there was never any doubt that he was going to be successful doing something somewhere. I think it’s cool that he’s found a little niche in tennis,” Ralph said. On his team are three Clay graduates — Ryan Nelson, James DeMeo and Haley Kuhlman. Nelson and DeMeo played for Ralph, Kuhlman did not.

Free n Tuitio

Hard at work At No. 2 singles, senior Drew Schloegl, a former junior varsity player who came in with some varsity experience, fills the void left by the graduation of Jared Lutz. Schloegl finished sixth in the TRAC. “He’s worked hard at it. He takes lessons during the offseason and definitely takes his tennis seriously,” Ralph said. Junior J.D. Davis has exactly what it takes at No. 3 singles and could be a prospect for a No. 1 or 2 singles spot next year. Davis finished sixth in the TRAC. “He’s a good athlete, moves well, and he has consistent ground strokes and that’s what you look for at third singles,” Ralph said.

Gibsonburg track team unbeaten in league tri-meets By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Sixth-year Gibsonburg girls track and field coach Glenn Owens kind of saw this coming. After placing second at the Division III district meet last year for the second straight year, and placing second at the Toledo Area Athletic Conference meet the past two seasons, the Golden Bears are making people stop and take notice this spring. “For the most part it’s been a pretty balanced effort,” Owens said. “We have girls (placing) in every aspect of the meet, which especially helps at the invitationals. This winter we had more girls come in to run and lift weights than we’ve ever had. They saw there was a little bit of success last year and I think they wanted to continue that. The younger girls wanted to be a part of that. It was nice to see, but it wasn’t a surprise.” Not only are the Bears 9-0 in tri-meets and quads this season but they’ve won four big meets, starting with the 11-team seasonopening Margaretta Relays. Gibsonburg has also won the 15-team St. Wendelin Invitational, the 10-team Gibsonburg Invitational and the eight-team HopewellLoudon Invite last Friday. The Bears took second behind Oak Harbor at the 17-team Lakota Invite. Owens said the Bears have their sights set on unseating perennial TAAC champion

This year’s TAAC meet is May 15 in Gibsonburg. “The TAAC is our No. 1 goal,” Owens said. “That’s what we’ve been talking about. When (Gibsonburg) first joined the TAAC, in every other sport our main goal was to win the league championship. In track, it can be more individual and not a team thing. I said, ‘we have to win our league. We have to be league champions.’ That’s what we’ve been working for the past three or four years.” Owens said he has “no idea” how many letter winners returned from last sea-

son’s team. “It was over 10,” he said, “and I thought we had a good opportunity to be successful. We really didn’t lose much. We only graduated a couple seniors off (last year’s) team, so we had pretty much everybody coming back.” The Bears’ top two scorers are seniors Colleen Reynolds and her twin sister, Kendall. Colleen placed fourth in the 400-meter dash at last year’s D-III state meet, and Kendall was sixth in the 100. “They’re right where they were a year ago at this point,” Owens said. “They keep improving each week. We are decent in ev-

ery aspect. The only place we’re weak at is in hurdling. We just haven’t scored the points in that area. We score in every event, usually. Some people think it’s because we have the Reynolds girls, but they can’t score all of the points.” Gibsonburg’s top distance runners are freshman Johanna Ehrenhard, sophomore Jenna Lewandowski and junior Jasmine Stein. “Johanna has been doing tremendous for us,” Owens said. “She has won or finished second in probably every distance event we put her in, in the invitationals. She’s been posting some really good times. Jenna has placed in the top six in pretty much every invitational, in every event we put her in, and Jasmine scores each week.” In the field events, junior Abby Castillo was a regional qualifier a year ago and has been in the top three in the shot and discus each weekend this spring. Owens said the team also has some young throwers who are beginning to improve in junior Ashley Gerwin and freshman Heidi Nissen. “When you’re over 30 feet in the shot put, that really helps us in scoring,” Owens said. “They’re both doing that.” Senior Hannah Ernsthausen and sophomore Emma Jones have performed well in the high jump, Owens said, adding that both girls are in the 4-8 to 4-10 range. Gibsonburg’s other top sprinters include sophomores Taylor Weickert and Annie Castillo, and juniors Selena Alejandro and Isabel Del Toro. All four girls have run on the relay teams, which includes the Reynolds twins in the 4x400. “The Reynolds girls have run on the 4x400 with Taylor and Selena,” Owens said. “They ran 4:14 the other night. Generally, our relay teams always place, which is huge.”

Clifton-Lorton, Segura bring home OSU-Lima awards By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com At the rate Dylan Clifton-Lorton and John Segura Jr. are garnering awards on the Ohio State University-Lima baseball team, they’re going to have to build an addition to their apartment to make room for all that hardware. Clifton-Lorton, a junior catcher and outfielder from Waite, was named the Barons’ 2015 Golden Glove Award winner this season. He was named the team’s player of the year in 2014 after earning the Barons’ freshman of the year award in 2013. Segura, a sophomore designated hitter, first baseman and outfielder from Northwood, earned OSU Lima’s Silver Slugger Award this spring. He was voted the team’s top freshman last year. The Barons finished 18-21 and 8-8 in the Ohio Regional Campus Conference this season under fifth-year coach Abe Ambroza. Segura, 20, who is studying law enforcement, had a banner year at the plate. In 36 games he hit .383 and had team highs in hits (41), runs (31), doubles (13) and RBI (33) to go along with two triples and two home runs. The 6-foot-2, 245-pound Segura also had four stolen bases. “He moves pretty good, and he’s a good athlete,” Ambroza said. “A lot of his big hits were when we were down in the game. He was clutch all season long. He’s good on the bases and is a smart base runner.” OSU Lima’s season ended last Sunday, with a 5-1 loss to Miami-Hamilton. “The end of the season was kind of rough, but we had a very good season,” Segura said. “I’m happy with how my season ended. I had pretty high goals after last year, like being a better leader and a better voice. I felt I helped lead better than the year before.” Segura, who throws right-handed and bats left-handed, said his goal was to hit .400 this season, “but I will definitely take .383.” “I jumped up almost 100 points from the year before,” he said, “just by working hard in the summer and playing ball. I was

When we have off time, it’s usually baseball related. A lot of hard work went into hitting and trying to make the team better.” The Barons’ Golden Glove Award is given to the team’s best defensive player. “I felt honored,” Clifton-Lorton said. “It showed me that the hard work I put forth day in and day out paid off. I just aim to make plays regardless of where I am on the baseball field. When I was in left field, I was anticipating making the diving catch or being able to show off my arm. Behind the plate, I was simply hoping somebody would try to steal a base so I could help my pitcher and throw him out.” Clifton-Lorton appeared in 33 games and played 13-14 of those in the outfield, according to Ambroza. “He’s just a ball player,” the coach said. “He’s just looking to play ball. He knows the game and he’s comfortable with that. I knew I could put him anywhere. We had nine bats and we were just trying to find a way to get all nine in there.” Clifton-Lorton, 20, who is majoring in business, batted .333 with five doubles, five

stolen bases, six walks, 11 runs and 20 RBI this season. “I’ll tell you what, it was hard to get us out,” Clifton-Lorton said. “Coach settled me in in the five-spot in the lineup for most of the year and I embraced it. There was always an opportunity to get an RBI or two. John Segura was fun to watch from the ondeck-circle. He hit in the four-spot right in front of me, and I would just giggle some-

times because it seemed like nobody could find a way to get him out. “I really enjoyed the game this year. The season just flew by. There were a lot of close games and the ball just didn’t bounce our way sometimes.” Ambroza said he anticipates big things from Segura and Clifton-Lorton next season. He said he got what he expected out of Segura this year. “I expect even more out of him next year,” Ambroza said. “He has a great mind for the game. He’s a strong kid and his motivation is to get stronger this offseason. He’s a heck of a person and I enjoy being around him.” Ambroza said he’d like to see CliftonLorton’s legs “look like tree trunks” next fall through offseason conditioning. “He’d like to get more body strength so he can get to the next level,” Ambroza said. “He doesn’t have that big of a frame. I want him to look back on his college career and say he gave it his all. The best way to get there is to increase that leg strength. He’s a mature kid and a great student, and he has a bright future.”

Wildcat baseball surprising everyone but themselves By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com The Woodmore baseball squad epitomizes what it means to be a team. Sure, they have players sporting impressive statistics. However, the group is a collection of capable players who don’t overpower the opposition but perform well in crunch time. This group’s performance has gotten them to 13-5 overall and 6-2 mark in the Northern Buckeye Conference, good for second place in the league. It starts with the pitching. As a team, Woodmore sports a solid 2.94 ERA, and its three starters are Tristan Roth, Connor Bringman and Josh Cowell. Roth has thrown 42 innings, accumulating a 5-1 record with a save and a 1.50 ERA. He has 45 strikeouts and allowed just 15 walks. Bringman is 3-0 with two saves and has a 2.77 ERA in 17.2 innings of work. He has an impressive strikeout-to-walk ratio, with 24 strikeouts and four walks. Cowell is 3-3 with a 3.97 ERA and has thrown 29 strikeouts and issued 18 walks in 42.1 innings. “They do a really nice job of working ahead in the count and throwing their pitches for strikes,” said second-year Woodmore coach Jake Huss. “We stress that you have to get ahead of the batter and put yourself in the count where you can pitch and don’t have to just throw fastballs. All of our pitchers have done a good job getting ahead of hitters.” First baseman Dillan Williams leads the team with a .387 average and four doubles, and Roth is hitting .360 with an on-base percentage of .469, plus five doubles and seven RBIs. Third baseman Trey Schnabel, who splits time with Williams in the seven-hole, is hitting .333 (.500 OBP) with three doubles and 10 RBIs. Leadoff man Matt Depner, who plays center field, is hitting .300 and has an OBP of .435. And Bringman (.291), who also plays first and third base, and right fielder Logan Fonseca (.292), are tied for the team lead with 15 RBIs. And Cowell, who plays shortstop when he’s not pitching, is hitting .243 but has drawn 19 walks and reaches base 49 percent of the time.

Woodmore base runner Ross Wolford slides into second, but the ball gets away from the Otsego infield in a league game Wednesday in Woodville. (Press photo by Russ Lytle/ Facebook/ RussLytle/ RHP) The batting order typically goes as such — Depner, second baseman Mason Beachler, Roth, who plays shortstop when he’s not pitching, Bringman, Fonseca, Cowell, who also plays shortstop and third base, Williams (or Schnabel), catcher Ross Willford and left fielder J.T. Atkins. It might not be murderers’ row, but it gets the job done. It’s been a bounce-back season for Woodmore, which struggled to a 7-17 record and a 3-10 mark in the NBC last year, though that is deceiving considering how competitive they were. And the Wildcats are doing it without three of last year’s top players — Evan Ulinski, Tony Rozzi and Jake Matwiejczyk. “Every year, the expectations are high,” said Huss. “I expect a lot out of the kids. All I really ask is that they work hard and work toward our team goals. The kids have been serious in trying to reach those goals. Every year, I expect to be competitive; playing in a tough league, that’s what you can ask for. Last year, our record wasn’t the greatest, but we were competitive in every game. That’s what I ask — work hard and do your best and don’t make mental errors. We can

handle the physical errors, but minimize the mental errors as much as possible.” What’s even more impressive about this club is its resiliency. Woodmore has won a number of games by rallying to score late, including in key games. The ‘Cardiac Cats’ are 6-1 in games decided by two runs or less. In a 2-1 win over Lake, Woodmore rallied to score a run in the sixth and the seventh. Wolford scored on an error in the sixth to tie it up and Roth, who was also the winning pitcher, and Bringman hit back-to-back doubles to begin the seventh, putting the Wildcats ahead for good. A 3-2 win over Fremont St. Joseph saw Woodmore rally from a 2-0 deficit to score three times in the bottom of the fifth. The rally started with Atkin and Beachler hitting consecutive one-out singles. Atkin would score on a groundout and Beachler was driven in by Roth, who scored the goahead run on a double by Bringman. A 4-2 victory over Eastwood saw the Wildcats score three runs in the bottom of the fifth. Two of the runs came on double steals and the other was driven in by Bringman, who also pitched a complete

game victory. And a 6-4 win over nonleague foe Margaretta also featured a threerun rally in the fifth. Perhaps the reason for the club’s ability to perform well in the clutch comes from a philosophy instilled by Huss. “I keep telling the kids, there’s no difference when it’s your first at-bat (or any other one),” said Huss, who was on the 1999 Genoa team that advanced to the Division III state semfinals and the regional final the next season. “The goal is still to go up and get quality at-bats (and try not to) make too much of the situation. We try and stay positive and don’t put too much pressure on them; we don’t think about the last at-bat. We don’t get discouraged if we’re not having success early — we’re seeing what the pitcher is doing. One of the major things we stress is what we call a ‘quality at-bat.’ If we have a hard-hit ball or we move a runner over with no outs or we score a runner from third with less than two outs; things that don’t show up in the box score, but it’s still something — a walk or a sacrifice, we want to give that merit. We don’t always look at averages. I look at the quality at-bats.”
