A unique team
Local theaters carry ‘Gibsonburg’ By J. Patrick Eaken and Mark Griffin news@presspublications.com Maumee Indoor Theatre, Fremont Paramount, and Virginia Clark Theatre in North Baltimore will be among the first to offer viewings of “Gibsonburg,” a movie about the 2005 Division IV state championship baseball team. The movie is based on the true story of the Gibsonburg High School baseball team that finished the regular season 6-17, and then went on to win eight straight tournament games and a state title to finish 14-17 under first-year coach Kyle Rase. They were the first, and still the only, baseball team in Ohio history to win a state championship with a record under .500. The movie, starring Louis Bonafante and Lili Reinhart, has even more drama in it. “Along the road to the state championship a romantic love story unfolds as well as a mystery that rivals any discovery that has ever taken place in the Midwest,” a press release states. Comedienne/actress Judy Tenuta is part of the cast and crew.
Common People, Uncommon Challenges 50 stories of inspiration
Kyle Rase, left, with Ryan Kunk, the actor who plays him in the movie. The two have become best of friends. “Judy is playing the ‘idiot’ parent we all know,” Producer Bob Mahaffey said, “the one who screams at the umpires and the players.”
Tenuta was an MTV stand-up star who Rase remembers watching doing comedy skits with “Weird Al” Yankovic. Rase says getting to work with Tenuta was special. “She was very, very nice and friendly,” Rase said. “She was great to work with. I didn’t know how she would be because she’s a big-time actor — her and Lili Reinhart, who has been in Law and Order and things. But she was great to everyone and some of the other guys who were amateur actors. She was trying to tell them some different things (acting tips). “She lives in (Los Angeles), so when we came to a film festival, she came to that, too,” Rase continued. “She plays a screaming parent in the crowd and she plays that role pretty well. The other girl, Lili Reinhart, has a pilot that was just picked up by Fox for the fall.” Five theaters in the Columbus area, six in the Cincinnati/Dayton area, eight in the Cleveland area, four in southeastern and eastern Ohio, and five in the northern and western parts of the state will also carry the film. One of those is Van Wert Cinemas,

Patrols by the Ottawa County K-9 unit and officers in unmarked cars will be used by Genoa police this summer to foil vandalism at Veterans Park. Police Chief Bob Bratton outlined a list of new ideas for heightened security at Genoa’s main park during a recent village council meeting. “We put a program together. The whole thing will be based on the element of surprise. We’re going to have officers in plain clothes at night, some in unmarked cars and we’ll be bringing in the county K-9 unit at times,” Bratton said in a telephone interview. The efforts interested village council because of a recent outbreak of extreme vandalism across the park including damaged trees, broken park signs and evidence of fires in the wooded area. In early May, Genoa police in uniform began extra foot patrols through the area to combat problems. Most of the damage appears to happen at night after the park closes at dusk. And those efforts appear to be deterring further destruction, Bratton said. “We’ve got about 18 hours in the park patrols,” Bratton said about the May schedule. “But we don’t want to cut our other duties short.” Traffic, however, at the park is about to pick up dramatically. Veterans Park, including the quarry, opened for the season over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Genoa Homecoming is Friday night and Saturday. Plus, area schools are letting out for the summer. Genoa students spent their last day in class Wednesday. And when school lets out, the park is a place for kids to congregate, the chief said. That is why Genoa police have asked for the assistance of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department and its K-9 unit operated by Deputy Mark Nye and his canine companion, Nero, a three-year-old Belgium Malinois. “The unit works the afternoon shifts in the west end of the county.

Harris Twp.
Road relocation project to start in two weeks By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press With a little luck, a section of a Harris Township road now closed because of river erosion will be open in July. Motorists haven’t been able to travel the stretch of Portage River South Road, between Schultz-Portage Road and LinkerPortage Road, for a little more than a year now, Ottawa County Engineer Dave Brunkhorst said. The 1,200 to 1,500-foot section must be moved south about 25 to 30 feet to remedy the situation. “When you have deep ditches and a river nearby you have to either build a wall or move it over,” Brunkhorst explained. A wall built nearby 10 to 12 years ago eventually lead to the current damage, he added. “The road has been closed since last year when we first started having the problem.” Work on the new remedy should be underway within two weeks, Brunkhorst said. In recent weeks, Ottawa County commissioners approved a $289,716 contract with Unilliance for the relocation project. Unilliance representatives met with Brunkhorst and others for a pre-construction meeting last week. If weather cooperates, the project could be done sometime in July. By contract, however, the company has until September to finish it. The goal, the engineer said, is to have the work done soon after the July 4th holiday. The project is funded through an Ohio Public Works grant and a loan secured by Harris Township trustees.

“We’re using all of these as a means to secure the park,” Bratton said. Those trespassing can be cited for violating the village code and earn a trip to Ottawa County Municipal Court. Other charges possible include vandalism, curfew violation and maybe even drug possession. Last year, a group of area teens were banned from the park from the season after they were tied to a number of the problems there. There’s no evidence that local kids are
to blame for the newest wave of problems though, Bratton emphasized. The basketball courts attract a number of players from the area including Toledo, based on the license plates, he added. “We keep an eye on all of them,” the chief said. This is Bratton’s second summer as chief. He said he’s been told that the park vandalism is nothing new. “I’ve heard this has gone on every couple of years in the park. But the damage seems to be a lot worse this year.

Genoa Schools
Operating levy on school district’s radar Genoa schools may need to put an operating levy on the ballot this fall. Memorial Day has come and gone and school districts across the state, including Genoa, remain in flux regarding finances. “We were under the impression that the state would have something for us by the Memorial Day holiday,” Superintendent Dennis Mock said, regarding the state’s biennial budget that’ll take effect July 1. The Genoa school board has directed Treasurer Bill Nye to update the district’s financial situation for the June meeting as well as available options. “An operating levy is something we are seriously considering but nothing has been decided yet,” Mock said. And nothing really can be done until the state makes its move, Nye said. By law, school district treasurers must submit five-year forecasts in May. “My statement will stand in June. It’s as useful as it can be for now. We cannot do a lot right now. We’re kind of in a holding pattern. Fifty-five percent of our budget comes from the state,” Nye said. A year ago, Genoa schools spent just over $10.8 million for daily operating costs, Nye said. The cost for this fiscal year, which comes to a close on June 30, is expected to run close to $10.5 million. Salaries and fringe benefits account for more than 80 percent of the school budget. “When $4 out of $5 go toward wages and benefits, we look at that. But we’ve made a lot of cuts already there. And we’ve looked at purchase contracts, security contracts, water usage, gas, anything that can save us some money,” Nye said. At present, state aid amounts to $5,732 per pupil. Some of the proposed state budget changes could slash that figure to $5,000 per pupil, the treasurer said. It’s been eight years since Genoa administrators have gone to the voters for operating revenue. Over the last five years, the school district has weathered a wave of budget hits that have caused a serious strain on daily operations. Some of them include the loss of tangible personal property taxes and home foreclosures. And the coinciding reductions in state aid have forced the district to cut staff and programs. Under the education plan proposed by the administration of Gov. John Kasich, Genoa schools have been labeled “a guaranteed school.” “That means we will get no more or no less in funding for two years,” Mock said. Currently the budget bill is being discussed in Columbus in various House and Senate committees. The final version will be sent to a House/Senate conference committee and then the final budget will be approved by the governor in late June.

One thing that won’t change in the new school year at Genoa is the structure of the Future Farmers of America program. Earlier this year, the school board was considering staff reduction in the high school program, Mock confirmed. Laura Sheahan, a mother of children involved in the FFA program, had appealed to the board to reconsider during one of their spring meetings. Both teachers will remain on staff, Mock said. Along that line, the school board also took a stand in the spring against a state push to forward state funding to private schools. Gov. Kasich’s biennial budget (House Bill 59) proposes to expand the EdChoice
Scholarship Program through two new options that will significantly increase the number of public-funded vouchers for students to attend private school. A change in the kindergarten and firstgrade attendance at private schools noted in the bill could divert some $25 million to private schools, according to the resolution passed by the Genoa board. Genoa board members oppose the diversion of public funds to private schools and directed the treasurer to send the official letter of opposition to the governor’s office and the legislature. Still, the schools cannot advance with their plans for the 2013-14 school year without the state’s budget directive. “I understand that they can’t rush. In the mean time, like I said, we are in a holding pattern. We can’t even make a plan to go ahead with a levy,” Nye explained. And as far as superintendents across the state are concerned, the state is cutting it pretty close. To get a levy on the fall ballot, school district personnel have to get the paperwork filed by Aug. 7 with their local board of elections. “There’s a lot to be done to get to that point and not a lot of time to get there,” Nye said.
War-era stories The Ohio Departments of Aging and Veterans Services have released the fifth installment of the War Era Story Project (www.aging.ohio.gov/news/ storyprojects/), just in time for the 69th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944. The new collection includes 27 stories of Ohioans who participated in or supported the invasion of Normandy and the subsequent march across Europe to defeat Hitler. The stories join more than 100 others that were posted previously. The agencies received nearly 300 submissions and will continue to release them in small batches until all have been shared. The War Era Story Project was a follow-up to the Department of Aging’s award-winning 2009 Great Depression Story Project.

East Broadway viaduct pegged
Nationally-renowned artist brings mural to East Toledo By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer newe@presspublications.com Peruvian-born artist Mario Torero will lead a group of Bowling Green State University students in painting a 40 feet wide by 15 feet tall mural on a viaduct on East Broadway near Vinyl Street. If the weather and other factors cooperate, the group will have begun their project over the weekend and be done by this Wednesday. Over a dozen students, who will get college credit, are being led by art lecturer Gordon Ricketts, director of BGSU’s Arts Village Learning Community, and Torrero. Ricketts and Torero have had an association dating back to when they met in San Diego, California. On Torero’s website, www.fuerzamundo.org, he is described as “A child of the 60 s. (His family) lived for a time in San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury district and enjoyed the music, art and lifestyle of the era.” The website displays his artwork and murals, which can be found around the world. Torero began painting murals 40 years ago starting in San Diego. His murals in Chicano Park, San Diego, are among many known worldwide and are a major attraction of the area. “Long before San Diego’s downtown area was the bustling center it now is, in 1976 Mario and his father opened The Acevedo Art Gallery International on 8th and Broadway, Downtown San Diego’s first art gallery. By 1977 it became the first ever multicultural art center, known as the Community Arts Building,” the website continues. Ricketts also once lived in San Diego, but they didn’t know each other at the time. “But I start travelling there about 10 years ago and I’d take 10 students in a van on a road trip to San Diego, and we were introduced to Mario,” Ricketts said. “Chicano Park (40 years ago) was this neighborhood park where they built this freeway through San Diego, and of course they built through neighborhoods where people didn’t have money, right? “They built this big bridge over San Diego Bay and there are all these pylons and they have this dirt piled up everywhere and they bisected the neighborhood and so they were going to put a police station there. So, these kids said, ‘No, we are not going to allow a police station there.’ So they camped out down there and people started painting the murals and they took the park back.” Ricketts continued, “This park has
One of artist Mario Torrero's murals he painted in Barcelona, Spain. Torrero will be leading a group of Bowling Green State University students in painting a mural on an East Broadway viaduct in East Toledo. (www.fuerzamundo.org) a national heritage now and this activist group that has been painting on it for 40 to 50 years has actually gotten money now, $2 million, from the California Department of Transportation, to refurbish what they did 40 years ago. This is where the community gathers now, and it’s not just Chicanos, it is all races and all people come down there and they are welcome.” Torero and Ricketts first brought their murals to Toledo’s Old South End incorporating mostly Latino artwork, and it has
taken off so well that other groups of local artists are starting to contribute on their own. Torero said for East Toledo they want the art to reflect a more diverse culture, including imagery representing the AfricanAmerican population. Torero, who still resides in San Diego, and his crew plan to incorporate into the East Broadway mural logos from East Toledo schools Waite (Indians) High School, Oakdale (Vikings) and East Broadway (Chiefs) elementaries as well as a large
honey bee with flowers around it, feathers, dancers representing seeds, and a representation of the late civil rights activist Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. The mural will be painted on the right side of the viaduct. “It’s a great drawing and there are issues that students need to know about the whole honey bee thing,” Ricketts said, recognizing a declining bee population nationwide. “Honey bees and flowers are all connected in some way with people. I like the concept of this — the ‘inter-connectiveness’ of this and the bees and the flowers and how important it is to us.” Torero added, “We are at a time where there a lot of environmental issues going on. So, Einstein said, ‘If bees go, civilization goes,’ and we are at that time where we have to watch global warming and many other elements that could be toxic to civilization. “So, the bees are important and people don’t pay attention to the bees, except they don’t want to be stung by them. This is a whole different way of looking at it because if they survive, we survive. So, we have to be careful about not being stung by the bee, but by it dying, perhaps.” Before beginning in East Toledo, they have to finish a mural project in South Toledo near the Green Lantern restaurant. Ricketts said the group hoped to begin by digitally projecting their cartoon drawings onto the East Broadway viaduct on Saturday night and then begin adding color paint this week, working from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. They said anyone who wants to stop by to watch or even be involved is welcome. East Toledo Family Center officials said they recruited local youth who were expecting to assist. At a community meeting held at Oakdale School Thursday, Ricketts and Torrero were asking officials if the area to be painted can be sandblasted by city officials before work begins. They also need access to generators and about a half dozen 12-foot ladders so artists can reach the viaduct, which is about 15 feet above ground. The East Broadway project, estimated by Ricketts to typically cost $5,000, is mostly supported by donations from BGSU’s Arts Village Learning Community, College of Arts and Science, ECAP, Ethnic Studies Department in the School of Cultural and Critical Studies, Medical Circle, Office of Service-Learning, School or Art, and the Theater and Film Department. Community participants include the East Toledo Family Center, One Voice for East Toledo, NeighborWorks: Toledo region, Northwest Ohio Building Trades, Sofia Quintero Arts and Cultural Center, Toledo Parks and Forestry, and Duane and Maria Rodriguez-Winter.

Local theaters carry ‘Gibsonburg’ baseball movie Continued from front page
Mahaffey’s production Mahaffey, a writer, producer and director, started his own company, Xcelerate Media Inc., out of his garage in Dublin, Ohio, in 2003. Mahaffey is also a 1980 graduate of Elmwood High School, one of Gibsonburg’s SLL rivals, and he still has family living in Wayne, near Bowling Green. “I was having Thanksgiving at my sister’s house in Wayne,” Mahaffey said, “and I talked to my niece’s husband and he was telling me about this Gibsonburg team. I said this would be a great story for a movie.” Mahaffey said he called Gibsonburg school officials about making an independent film about the 2005 state champions. Soon after, he began writing a screenplay and began searching for actors. “I got all these college students, some from Ohio State, Ohio University…the college students are doing all the work on this film,” Mahaffey said. “I want to make it a good college experience for the college kids and I want to make a movie we’re all proud of.” Rase said he got a call from Mahaffey through former Gibsonburg Athletic Direc-

Rase said he met with Mahaffey and his staff about a possible independent movie. “I told most of the (Bears players) in December (2010),” Rase said. “They were excited. To see it actually come to where it was a project in the works, that was when we realized this was going to be happening. It’s a great story about a great group of kids. The movie is 40 percent baseball and will be very close to our tournament run, and there’s a Hollywood plot line. I haven’t helped Bob with that. I pretty much stay with baseball and go through all the games with him.” The actors portraying the Bears’ players and coaches are college students. Mahaffey’s plan was to begin by submitting the film to the Sundance Film Festival to be shown in January 2012 in Park City, Utah. The baseball movie scenes were being filmed at three Columbus-area high schools – North Union, Dublin Jerome and Jonathan Alder – and at the Clippers’ Huntington Park, where the state final four is held. Locally, Mahaffey’s crew has filmed several scenes at Gibsonburg’s Ideal Bakery, owned

which is near Rase’s hometown of Convoy, Ohio. The theater, which is on Lincoln Highway, has been rebuilt after being destroyed by a tornado. “They are going to do at least a onenight showing (in Van Wert), so I’m kind of excited for that because I’ll get to see everyone I grew up with. I think I might be riding in a parade that afternoon. It’s fun to go home — I love going home,” Rase said. Not only a parade back home, but the movie is getting help from professional baseball. Rase was to throw out the first pitch at Progressive Field Wednesday night when the Cleveland Indians were hosting the Cincinnati Reds. He also has similar first pitches lined up at Fifth Third Field in downtown Toledo and at the Columbus Clipper’s Huntington Park this season. Exact times and dates have not been released, but visit GibsonburgMovieTimes. com or keep an eye on the movie theater’s websites. A trailer can be viewed at YouTube, on Facebook at GibsonburgTheMovie.com. Last Sunday, a premiere showing was held at the Maumee Indoor, which was attended by the movie’s cast and crew, Rase, and most of the 2005 team. “It was fun,” Rase said. “I not only got to see the 2005 team, but I got to see all of the people I’ve been working with in the movie for the past two years. It was a double reunion.” Rase has a role in the movie, too, as an assistant coach. I had a couple lines,” Rase said. “The interesting thing is all my lines are where I’m talking to myself. The most ironic thing is the guy who is the head coach has really become my best friend while we were making the movie, so we still talk and hang out a lot.”
by John Schnell. “The bakery is the focal point of the movie,” Mahaffey said. “That’s the hangout. That’s the only place we’re shooting in Gibsonburg. When you walk in there you can see it’s swimming with character. It’s been in their family since 1933 and it’s just a beautiful setting for a movie. We’re probably shooting there seven or eight times; we’ve already shot there three times,” he
said in a 2010 interview. Mahaffey had a $250,000 budget to shoot the movie. His crew included Emmyaward winning film maker and Bowling Green native Ginger Kathrens, assistant director Jessica Browne, and award-winning music producer Kelly Bryarly. Mahaffey said he has talked with every member of the 2005 squad, but one in particular stood out. “Andy Gruner is the star of the movie,” Mahaffey said. “I’ve spent countless hours with coach Rase and I’ve looked at the (game) footage and gone over every pitch – from their first game against Bettsville to the state finals against Fisher Catholic. From the footage, it seemed that Andy was a very good leader on that team.” Junior pitcher Alex Black earned the win in the championship game, throwing three innings of one-hit ball in relief of Gruner. Gibsonburg scored what proved to be the winning run in the top of the seventh inning when senior Wes Milleson reached on a two-out error, stole second and later scored on a single by senior Derek Hetrick. Other Bears who played in the championship game included junior shortstop Wyatt Kiser, senior catcher Thom Brinker, sophomore pinch runner Scott Stevenson, freshman third baseman Cody Fisher, senior first/second baseman Brandon Beck and senior right fielder Derek Eddings. Black pitched all but 11 innings during Gibsonburg’s eight-game tournament run. “After school that summer I worked up at the school with Derek Eddings and it seemed like we were thinking about it all the time, still not believing we were able to do it,” Gruner said in an interview with The Press when the movie was announced. “Now that the years have gone by, I think about it every couple months. I’ll run across the DVD that we showed at the school ceremony a week after the game, and it really gets my goose bumps going.”

There’s no way they could have moved the whole building because it was just too badly mutilated.
“
The Oregon-Jerusalem Historical Society and the Harbor View Historical Society are saving historic remnants from an 1894 Oregon Township schoolhouse that was to be torn down Friday. According to the late historian Josephine Fassett’s book, History of Oregon and Jerusalem: The Story of Two Communities, the first school for Oregon Township District 9 was located on Wynn Road about one-fourth mile south of Bayshore Road, and was built by John Clay in 1891 for $1,978.60. However, in 1894, the board of education reported that the enrollment had decreased and there were not enough pupils in the district to warrant the board continuing the two rooms. The committee recommended that the two-room building be moved to District 6 where it was needed and a one-room school house be built to replace it. The one-room school was built on the same site. According to the Harbor View society’s program manager, 30-year Navy veteran and Chief Warrant Officer Michael Joseph, the City of Oregon would have liked to have saved the building, but it was in disrepair. “After June 1, that’s it — the building gets destroyed,” Joseph said. “The City of Oregon is trying to save part of it through these local historical groups and at least that’s a good thing. “There’s no way they could have moved the whole building because it was just too badly mutilated. But when we walked in, there was no doubt that this was an elementary school because the chalkboard still goes around the entire inside of the building. So, we photographed it and categorized it.” The HVHS arrived on the scene May 10 to take movies and pictures of the site and have engineers take a look at how they would encapsulate and remove a designated wall. They plan to collect data, actually cut out the wall and transport it to the

HVHS campus. The Oregon-Jerusalem Historical Society is well-established at its base, Brandeville School. The newest venture, the Harbor View group, began a soft opening of its mu-
seum last year in the former Harbor View Missionary Baptist Church at 2083 Autokee St. in Oregon. Over the past two years, volunteers have been working to convert the former church into the new home of the
historical society. Harbor View officials say its goal is to preserve the history of the City of Oregon, the Village of Harbor View, and the area once known as “The Northwest Territories” of the United States. Hilliard, Ohio resident Samuel J. Bonifas, a historian and genealogist, is the HVHS’s first president. But Joseph says the activities of the Harbor View museum will be “totally different” from the Oregon-Jerusalem society’s activities in that they will not deal with genealogy as much. They were glad to be included in this project. “When they called us, I almost flipped out,” Joseph said. “I can’t believe the City of Oregon is calling us because that means that now we are in the phone book — it’s one of those funny things. But when we went out, we realized after doing the first research on it that this was actually the 1894 single room school house that was built there. The City of Oregon thought that it was moved there. “The City of Oregon has allowed our group to go out and with a crane and a bunch of stuff, we are going to literally encapsulate the wall and take it back to the museum for storage until we can get it fixed up for display and it will be a part of the Wynn Elementary school display at the Harbor View Historical Society,” Joseph continued.

American Veterans Traveling Wall coming to Toledo
“
They gave their lives for our freedom. We will not forget
“
Veterans and active members of America’s armed services travel great distances and make great sacrifices to preserve and protect freedom and liberty. The American Veterans Traveling Tribute (AVTT), a veteran-owned project committed to traveling the USA to honor, respect and remember those who served in America’s armed services, will visit Toledo June 5-9. The Traveling Wall will arrive at Toledo Express Airport at 3 p.m. on June 5 and a motorcycle escort will then accompany the exhibit to International Park in East Toledo. The Traveling Wall will be available for viewing at International Park from noon June 6 through 3 p.m. June 9. It will be open 24 hours day. Vintage vehicles will be display throughout the exhibit; a Huey Helicopter will be at the park June 7 and 8. The Traveling Wall is an 80 percent
scale version of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. Across its 360foot length, the wall contains all the names etched on the original monument. At its apex, the memorial is an impressive eight-
feet tall. To kick off the event, the community is invited to attend a Welcome Home Celebration and Honor Roll Call June 5 at 7 p.m. at Savage Hall on the University of Toledo campus. There is no charge to attend. Other highlights of the wall’s visit include: • Mud Hens Vietnam Era Night at the Mud Hens, June 6, 7-9 p.m. Admission is free for Vietnam era veterans who present their DD214. • On June 7 at noon, an unveiling ceremony will be held for a bronze plaque recognizing local Vietnam era veterans at the All Wars Memorial in The Civic Center Mall in downtown Toledo. From 7-9 p.m., there will be a concert in the International Park gazebo. • On June 8 at 9 a.m., a Motorcycle Ride/Salute will begin at the Toledo Harley Davidson located at 7960 W. Central Ave.
Toledo. Staging begins at 6 a.m. Kick stands up at 8 a.m. From 5-7:30 p.m., a Vietnam era veterans’ spaghetti dinner will be held at Forrester’s on the River at The Docks (DD214 form required). • On June 9, a Sunrise Remembrance Service will be held at 7 a.m. at International Park. A pancake breakfast will be held from 8-10 a.m. at Forrester’s on the River. The Traveling Wall will be taken down at 3 p.m. For a full list of events, visit www. toledoveteransevent.com. Area residents are invited to share their Vietnam Era stories on Facebook at “Toledo Ohio Vietnam Veterans Appreciation Event.” The focus is celebrating the freedom purchased by men and women who sacrificed their lives,” said Don Allen, one of the AVTT organizers. “We are a tribute to all who stood up for America. They served. They gave their lives for our freedom. We will not forget.”
Oregon forum Monday to discuss superintendent search By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Before members of the Oregon school board embark in earnest on the search for a new superintendent, they will listen to residents and staff of the district. A community forum is scheduled for June 3 at 7 p.m. in the Clay High School library to discuss issues facing the district and how they will impact the search process. Dr. Michael Zalar announced recently he is leaving the Oregon district to take the position of superintendent of North Olmstead City School District. He’d been superintendent in Oregon since 2008 and
was principal of Clay High School for five years prior to that. Input from residents and staff members received during the forum will be considered when the board conducts reference checks and candidate interviews, said P.J. Kapfhammer, president of the school board. Kapfhammer said the board hasn’t set a timeframe for hiring a superintendent. “We would like to interview the finalists during the week of July 17th but that will depend on how comfortable the board feels with the quality of applicants,” he said in an email message to The Press. The major issues expected to confront the district during the next three to five years, performance expectations and per-
sonal and professional qualities of the next superintendent will also be discussed during the forum, according to a news release from the board. “I want the best person for Oregon City Schools, I don’t have any set criteria for our next superintendent. I just want someone who wants to be here for the community and the kids. We want to hear from the community so we can move forward with the community’s best interest at heart,” Kapfhammer said. Board member Carol-Ann Molnar said the board plans to review applications and choose the top five candidates by June 13. Dr. Zalar was hired by the North Olmsted school board during a special meeting on May 22 and he is ex-
pected to start work there on Aug. 1, according to the North Olmstead website. He was selected from an initial field of approximately 27 candidates, and was one of three finalists for the position. Oregon voters last month strongly supported the renewal of a 2-mill, 5-year permanent improvement levy: 1,444 – for to 874 – against, according to unofficial results compiled by the Lucas County Board of Elections. The Oregon district received an “Effective” rating in the state report card for the 2011-12 school year. The state rates districts on achievement test scores, graduation tests and attendance and graduation rates.

Ohio EPA algal bloom data available on web-based map By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com With the recreational season getting underway at Ohio’s state park lakes, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has launched a new web-based map application that features real-time data of algal blooms at park beaches and public notices for drinking water. The online tool enables users to view current advisories or sampling data of harmful algal blooms. The map shows a color-coded “snapshot” of the entire state, with additional information about any active advisories available by clicking the computer’s mouse. The application uses two advisories: - A recreational public health advisory (orange) would be posted if toxin levels exceed the recommended threshold. The pu-
bic would be advised that swimming and wading aren’t recommended and the water shouldn’t be swallowed. Surface scum should also be avoided. - A no contact advisory (red) would advise the public to avoid all contact with the water at that location. A no contact advisory would be posted if sampling results showed toxin levels above the recommended threshold and there has been a reported probable human illness or pet death. Once an advisory is posted, the state will periodically sample until the bloom is gone and toxin levels are below the threshold. If microcystin, anatoxin-a, cylindrospermopsin, or saxitoxin are found above thresholds in treated water of a public drinking water system, the system will issue a public notice to let customers know there is a drinking water advisory. Depending on the level detected, the
water system will issue either a do not drink or do not use warning. The system will remove a public notice when algal toxin levels are below the drinking water thresholds in two consecutive samples collected at least 24 hours apart. Changing agricultural practices and weather conditions are cited in a study as the likely causes of what is considered the largest harmful algae bloom in Lake Erie’s recorded history. The study by researchers at the University of Michigan and eight other institutions describes the 2011 algae bloom as a harbinger of things to come rather than an isolated occurrence. The researchers found that intense spring rainstorms and the resulting runoffs from farm fields resulted in record-breaking levels of phosphorus, a nutrient in agricultural fertilizer that contributes to algae growth, washing into western Lake Erie.
The study says those conditions set the stage for an algae bloom that covered about 2,000 square miles at its peak in early October 2011 – about three times larger than other blooms to occur in the lake, including those that occurred in the 1960s and 1970s. The paper was published online in April in the journal, Proceedings, of the National Academy of Sciences. That spring was particularly heavy in precipitation: 2 inches of rain fell over Ohio’s Maumee River Basin on May 26 and almost 7 inches fell during the month – more than 20 percent above the average. The EPA worked with the Ohio Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Office to develop the application. Ohio EPA GIS maps can be found online at http://epa. ohio.gov/gis.aspx. All HAB advisories also will be listed at ohioalgaeinfo.com.

Your Voice on the Street: by Stephanie Szozda
The Press Poll
If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be and why?
The government wants to drop the blood alcohol limit for being legally drunk in order to avoid drunk driving fatalities. The limit would go from .08 to .05. Do you agree? Yes, it will make the roads safer. No, strictly enforce the current laws.

Liberty is lost To the editor: While I was reading our “friendly, neighborhood newspaper,” I came across a letter to the editor titled “Wrong on many levels,” submitted by Albert Kapustar. His letter was a response to a letter submitted by Mary Jo Thieman Bosch the week before. I have a few thoughts and opinions on this matter, upon which I will opine. First of all, Mr. Kapustar makes it perfectly clear where he stands with his political beliefs, as did Bosch the week before. However, I see a big difference on how the two support their beliefs. Mrs. Bosch explained her beliefs very clearly and well without bashing anyone in the process. She doesn’t believe that two people of the same gender should be allowed to be married. She never stated that she “hated” or even disliked someone for being gay. She then backed up her argument with her religious beliefs, which is still guaranteed by the First Amendment. Mr. Kapustar started his response civilly until mocking religion by calling Mrs. Bosch’s religion “outdated.” He then continued bashing Republicans, which Mrs. Bosch never claimed to be, calling them greedy, and blaming broken unions and mass poverty on them. If this weren’t enough, he also believes that Republicans are animals who love torture and go around shooting kids with their guns. Oh and I forgot to mention that Republicans are all racist, sexists homophobes who hate liberals, accordingly to Mr. Kapustar. I consider myself a Conservative, who

typically votes Republican. I know many Conservative/Republicans and cannot say that Mr. Kapustar’s view on them is even remotely accurate. I have many Liberal/ Democrat friends as well and I would never speak of them the way Mr. Kapustar did of Republicans. I have respect for human life and will do my best to defend liberty, equality and justice for all. Wrong on many levels, Mr. Kapustar? Yes it is. From your letter I can see that there is much anger and hatred, but it is not from Mrs. Bosch, religion or a political party. The anger and hatred comes when individuals cannot or will not respect another’s opinion. Every American has the right to freely express him or herself and to debate issues. However, when the debate ends in name calling and no offer of an alternative solution, the debate is lost. Then liberty is lost. Joel M. Mann Genoa
Meaningful Day To the editor: The Memorial Day rain may have stopped the parade in Elmore, but it did not dampen the people’s spirits. Woodmore High School was opened and the activities took place there, carrying out Elmore’s Memorial Day activities. No, the sun was not shining and the morning was somber, giving each one attending more of a Memorial Day feeling about the
loss of loved ones that have fought and died for our country. We are so appreciative of everyone who made last-minute changes to have a very meaningful Memorial Day Ceremony. Betty Marlow Miller Elmore
Making a difference To the editor: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” – Mister Rogers Most of the time, you don’t see all the helpers on the news; they are the heroic individuals who donate their time and/ or support the fundraising efforts. For example, there were many heroes on a chilly Saturday morning on May 11. Despite the 46 degree temperature, a few Clay High School Volunteer Focus members sponsored a car wash to raise money for Vail Meadows Therapeutic Riding Center. There were many heroes that morning – from the students who washed cars to Advance Auto Parts who donated all the supplies, to those who made donations to have their car(s) washed, to those who just made donations. There are a lot of “helpers” that you never see. It was so heartfelt and touching to listen to stories of how Vail Meadows has helped family members, stories of
friendships with the horses and the Vail family. There were donations made, both large and small; one individual was on her way to visit family in the hospital and still took time to stop and make a donation. Another gentleman offered to buy the volunteers hot chocolate. When he told the McDonald’s employee what he was doing, the manager at the McDonald’s on Woodville Road donated not only hot chocolate, but French fries and burgers too for all the volunteers. Advance Auto Parts also matched a purchase made by this same individual of additional cleaning supplies. Clay High School Volunteer Focus Members would like to say thank you to all the “helpers” who took time out of their busy day to “pay it forward.” No matter what your donation, you really make a difference. Chris Walendzak Secretary, Clay High School
Anonymous generosity To the editor: It is nice to know that in these times, there are very caring and generous people. We would like to thank the person or persons who paid for our parents’ meal at Applebee’s on May 17. Our parents are elderly – 87 and 90 – and still enjoy going out to eat. When they went to pay their bill, the waitress told them that it had been taken care of and that the person had left. It was a very nice thing for someone to do and we personally would like to thank them for their thoughtfulness. Nancy and Bill Wilson Curtice
What’s playing at the movie theatre in your mind? Dare to Live
by Bryan Golden
“
Since the results you get in life are based on the movies you play, make sure both the plot and ending are exactly what you want.
“
Your mind is at work non-stop. You are always thinking about something. One of the activities your mind engages in is playing out various scenarios. These movies are projected in your imagination. The movies can be on any subject ranging from routine activities to significant goals. You also create movies for the possible outcomes of dilemmas you are facing. You are the writer, director, and star of your movies. You are in total control of every aspect of your mental film. Most importantly, you decide what the ending will be. These aspects are significant since your movies have a major impact on your emotions and behavior. Whatever script you are playing in your mind influences what you attract. The movie theater in your mind is also known as visualization. Studies have shown that the movies you play have the same impact on your mind as actual occurrences. You have already experienced this phenomenon as a result of intense dreams. These are the dreams that feel so authentic you thought they were really happening. After such an episode, you wake up feeling exactly as you would after an actual physical experience. You may feel exhausted, elated, upset, excited, scared, awful, or wonderful depending on the content of your dream. This illustrates the impact of visualization. It is so powerful that your mind cannot distinguish it from reality. Whenever you replay the same movie over and over, your mind goes to work attempting to figure out ways to transform your movie plot into reality. Even if you don’t consciously take your movie serious-
ly, your subconscious mind does. Your mind doesn’t care what kind of movies you play. Whether good or bad, they all have a realistic impact on the way you feel and what you do. However, as noted above, you have total control of the movies that play as well as their outcome. In spite of the immense power of this process, many people expend more effort
deciding what to wear each day than in selecting what is playing in their brains. They don’t realize how much impact their movies have. Additionally, they have been conditioned to formulate endings that are not what they really want. This is caused by worrying about worst case possibilities which then creates a self-fulfilling prophesy. Since the results you get in life are based on the movies you play, make sure both the plot and ending are exactly what you want. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to obtain a particular result without first visualizing it. So, when you visualize what you don’t want, that’s exactly what you’ll be attracting. Take advantage of the fact that you can create and play the movie of your choosing. Revert back to your childhood and daydream about the things you really want. Create your ideal scenarios. Don’t limit yourself by what you or others feel is realistic. Have fun. Make your movies enjoyable. In your mind, anything is possible. You will be utilizing a proven method for attaining what you really want. Every accomplishment, discovery, and invention was the result of dreamers who first saw in their minds that which they later brought to reality. Everything begins as a mental movie. If you don’t like the movies which have been playing, delete them and start over. You are free to rewrite, recast, and reshoot any aspect of your movies. You already know what movies you would like to play. Get started with the ideal script and go from there. You have total control over your mental movie the-
ater so always be picky about movies you are projecting. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www.BryanGolden.com or your bookstore.

How Richardson fell (finally) for farmers’ markets Guest Editorial
“
“
By Jill Richardson I’ll never forget the first time I went to a farmers’ market. I hated it. Like many who buy food only from the grocery store, I didn’t realize that local farmers can’t produce every food all year round. I didn’t expect pineapples or anything, but the extremely limited selection in early spring shocked me: spinach, arugula, green onions, radishes, and rhubarb. That was it. I had just moved to Madison, Wisconsin, home of one of the nation’s biggest farmers’ markets. The entire town was abuzz with excitement about the Dane County Farmers’ Market starting up again for the year on the Capitol Square. Seasoned marketgoers all knew that the selection of produce expands and changes throughout the year. For them, the market’s array of offerings was just the first of many. They saw it as merely an appetizer, a teaser, as they readied themselves for strawberries, asparagus, sugarsnap peas, and the other treats still to come. But no one gave me that memo. And it never occurred to me that the snow had only just melted and that it takes a few weeks — or months — to grow food. I went home, disappointed, and didn’t
This summer, do yourself a favor.
return until August. The August market made me a true believer. Apples, watermelons, and bell peppers in colors I’d never seen before (purple!), potato varieties with exotic names like Russian Banana Fingerling, vegetables I’d never even heard of (have you discovered kohlrabi?), and more. Every farmer’s stand made my mouth water. I felt like a chump for missing months of this edible spectacle. And I worked hard
to make up for lost time. I got to know each individual farmer and learn why his or her offerings were special. Seeing carrots in red, purple, and yellow as well as orange hues, I stopped to learn more. The farmer was busy selling them to the chef of the fanciest restaurant in town. Well, if they were good enough for him, they were good enough for me. I bought some too. I asked a farmer with a dizzyingly diverse display of potatoes which variety I should use in a soup. “German butterball,” he replied. And he was right. They made the creamiest soup I’d ever eaten. “I don’t like turnips,” I told another farmer. “Try these,” she said, handing me a baby turnip. Sure enough, they were sweet and delicious, without any horseradishy bite. And when I got the food home, it stayed fresh for weeks. Unlike food from the store, it was just-picked. It did not have to travel across continents or spend time in warehouses. I’m not alone. Eaters everywhere across America are discovering the joy of buying directly from local farmers. From less than 2,000 farmers’ markets in 1994, the number has grown to nearly 8,000. You can
find one near you using the USDA website or the sites Eat Well Guide or Local Harvest. At the farmers’ market, labels don’t matter because you can simply ask the farmer how they produce your food. Instead of looking for an organic label, you can just ask if a farmer uses chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Another bonus: You can meet your meat. And find out exactly how it was raised, including its breed, diet, and even how it met its end. The best way to learn about farming is by simply asking farmers how they do it. If you aren’t sure whether they’re using pesticides, hormones, or other chemicals, just ask. Farmers are passionate about caring for their soil and their animals, and many are eager to share their knowledge to help you make better food choices. This summer, do yourself a favor. Visit a farmers’ market, make friends with a farmer, and you’ll be rewarded with delicious, healthy food.

Senior class mottos: Words that can spur change Spam, graffiti, angry words, vulgar words and inconsequential words blathered in non-stop verbosity can assault our eyes and ears daily. Is it any wonder we dismiss important words attempting to seep through to the cognitive center of our minds. Once in awhile, however, we internalize a certain string of words at a specific time in our lives, usually when crisis, contemplation or serendipity strikes, and we change. Here, once again, are the mottos for this year’s high school graduates. Maybe, you’re at that point in life where one of them will spur change in you. Northwood, Genoa: Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Ralph Waldo Emerson’s advice to find your own way is still relevant today. Who knows what you’ll discover? A new world like Leif Erickson or Columbus? A stronger you, you didn’t know existed?

Baker finding new Oak Harbor business a sweet venture By Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer twalro@presspublications.com “It’s time to make the donuts…” Like the guy on the old commercial for a national donut chain, Tim Hepner sets his alarm for the wee hours of the morning, gets up and heads to his Oak Harbor sweet shop to make the donuts, and the breads, muffins, cookies and other sweet treats too. Hepner opened Sweet Treats by Tim at 114 W. Water St. just over a month ago and so far, his confections have been selling like hotcakes. In fact, those who wander in to the shop too late in the business day just may be disappointed. “When I first opened, I started with 20 dozen and I kept running out by 8:30 or 9 a.m. Then I went up to 30 dozen and sometimes I still run low or sell out,” he said. On a recent Monday, by mid-morning the display cases held several trays containing three or four donut and pastry varieties. As the steady stream of customers rolled in, Hepner consolidated trays until just a few remained. One customer came in in search of a loaf of rye bread. Though the shop was all out, Hepner offered to have a loaf ready for him for the next day. A couple strolls in looking for donuts. The gentleman chooses his quickly; his wife struggles to decide between two of the sweet treats. “Get them both, he urges.” For Hepner, the conversation and the interaction with customers are among the best aspects of owning his own business. “I grew up in the restaurant business. My parents owned The Ambassador Restaurant, near the Ohio Turnpike exit at I-280,” he said. “I worked there when I was 13.” Hepner found he enjoyed the creativity and the challenges of the business, and in 1981, he went to culinary school in San Francisco. While on the West Coast, he’d sometimes compete in live TV cooking competitions. “That was back in the day, when I was younger and could move around faster,” he said. “I thrived on the challenge. I lost a lot but I won a couple of

Bakery owner Tim Hepner (left) arrives at the shop at 1 a.m. six days a week to make the sweet treats. (Press photo by Tammy Walro) times too.” One of his competitors was Guy Fieri, a chef and restaurant owner known for his television series on the Food Network. “That’s before he got popular,” Hepner said. After spending some time in Tucson, he decided to come back to Northwest Ohio, where he worked as a chef at the Holiday Inn French Quarter and the Fremont Country Club. “It’s a hard job working long hours plus holidays and weekends, but I really enjoyed the cooking – I just got tired of the corporate aspect of restaurant work,” he said. While working as a chef, he started a catering business on the side, making food and specialty baked goods for corporate and other clients from his home kitchen. As the business grew, Hepner said he needed more space, so he decided to open a shop where he could do baking and sell his products on site. His wife and
granddaughter help out too. “This is close to home; my wife grew up here and I really like the people here – the bus drivers, the Red Hat Ladies and the ‘regulars,’” he said. The shop features tables and a long bar – a leftover from its days as The Oaks bar – where customers can take a seat and enjoy a pastry, a cup of coffee and some conversation. “The bar is the biggest conversation piece in this building, “ Hepner said. “I have guys who come in and talk about the old days at the bar and the good times they had. “One time, I was talking with some of the old-timers and one of them said, ‘Your oven’s smoking.’ I forgot I had cookies in… they were burned like hockey pucks,’” he said, chuckling. “It’s like ‘Cheers’ – where I’d like to get to know everybody’s names,” he said. “Because even though I own the business, the customers are my bosses…they tell me
what they like and that’s what I make.” And the customers like the fact that they can see Hepner tending to the pastries and breads in the oven throughout the morning. In the coming weeks, they’ll probably see him practicing his cupcake frosting and piping skills, as Hepner readies for a try on “Cupcake Wars,” Food Network’s popular show that pits four of the country’s top cupcake bakers in a face off that includes three elimination challenges until only one decorator remains. The sweet prize is $10,000 and the chance to showcase their cupcakes at a special celebrity or national event. Hepner was chosen to compete after he sent a recipe and bio to the show. He’s tentatively scheduled to fly out next month to tape an episode that will air in August. He’ll be joined by his cake decorator. The pair will work to make cupcakes based around a theme that they won’t know until we get there. “Fortunately, we work extremely well under pressure,” he said, adding, “I’m not nervous now, but the day I get on that plane will probably be another story.” Hepner was chosen based on his recipe for his Oreo Fix cupcake – a favorite with customers. Other popular cupcakes include the Salty Payday, though the triedand-true chocolate, white and cookies and cream also have a big following. Minicupcakes are available upon request. The Sweet Treats menu also includes a wide assortment of donuts – baked not fried, Hepner noted, along with jumbo muffins (call for choices), and cookies, including chocolate chip, peanut butter and sugar, among other varieties. Banana, zucchini and other bread varieties are also available. Hepner also offers cheesecakes and other cakes, including double chocolate walnut, carrot and banana cinnamon bundt cake. Wedding and special occasion cakes are available by special order. “If you don’t see what you want, just ask,” Hepner said. Sweet Treats by Tim is open Monday through Friday 7 a.m.-2 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m.-noon. Hepner also caters special events. For more information, call 419349-5843.

OH for OK When Steve Eulberg called his friend Kerry Patrick Clark to say he would be swinging through Ohio on his Midwest tour, the pair discussed trying to put together some sort of concert or performance. Then came the tornados in Oklahoma. The musicians were connected through more than just a friendship and musical respect for each other – they were determined to use their music to help the victims of the deadly Moore, Ok. tornadoes. Eulberg, who is originally from Pemberville, has won several national dulcimer contests and has had charttopping songs and acclaimed recordings. Clark is a former member of the folk group, the New Christy Minstrels, a Martin Guitar Preferred Artist and boasts two national number-one CDs. On Friday, June 7 at 7:30 p.m., the pair will present a concert, “Ohio Folk for Oklahoma,” at Maumee United Methodist Church, 405 Sackett St., Maumee.

Antique collector opens store in Elmore By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com
“
You’re never too old to start something...
“
Lilly McGill of "Lilly's Antiques and Uniques." (Press photo by Ken Grosjean)
Most 77-year-old women are busy enjoying retirement in some form or another. But Lilly McGill is different. McGill, a veteran in the antique industry, recently decided to open a store of her own in Elmore. The shop, Lilly’s Antiques & Uniques, is located next the post office downtown and features a variety of products. “We have a set of very unusual items, just like a general store,” McGill said. “I love to carry just about anything from clothes to spinning wheels to different forms of women’s boutiques. We also have furniture, toys, garageware, and saddles, among other things.” McGill, who grew up in Cape Girardeau, Mo., located along the banks of the Mississippi River, has lived in Ohio for nearly 50 years, having settled in Moline in 1966 at the age of 30. McGill, whose six children attended Lake High School, has 19 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren and is full of vibrancy and energy. It is those qualities that have made her such a successful salesperson. That, and the fact that she loves conversing with and getting to know people. “That’s what I’ve always loved about selling things (getting to know people),” she said. “I sold furniture when I was much younger and I got to know the people. I love when people come in and talk to me about their lives. There are so many wonderful people out there. People would tell me their problems. I enjoy listening to them, I’m a people person. “I’ve been associated with antiques and collectibles for about 40 years. I love doing a flea market and a show. I’m now opening my own shop and I’m looking forward to that,” she said. “And I’ve always wanted to have my own
shop. I’m 77 years old; I’m too young to retire..” According to McGill, who was the manager at Riverbank Antiques in Pemberville for several years and previously sold furniture at Montgomery Ward at the Southland Shopping Center in Toledo, there are items located in the front that draw the attention of both men and women – things like saddles, spinning wheels and card tables. There are a number of other items located throughout the store, including furniture, tables, chairs, jewelry, handbags, hats, stoneware, china and glassware as well as some pictures and prints. McGill credits her grandmother with helping to teach her the art of bartering during the 1940s. She recalls how her grandmother, who lived on a farm, would take milk, butter and eggs and head to the town’s general store and return with other products. Needless to say, McGill is excited about what the future holds. “I’ve always wanted to have my own shop,” said McGill, whose daughter owns Gale’s Party Shop in Gibsonburg. “Mostly, I missed not being with the people. It’s been a few years. I haven’t worked for about three years and this is the first time I’ve owned a shop. You’re never too old to start something.”

Oregon residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secret family sauce to hit the market soon By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Barbara Szabo Kitz, of Oregon, has been making her grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special chili sauce for years. Now, after friends and family begged her to sell her sauce, Kitz will soon launch her Hoopie Sauce in local markets this summer. Named after her grandmother Marguerite Huepenbecker, who taught her how to make the sauce and was affectionately known as Grandma Hoopie, the sauce remains true to its 100-year-old tradition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sauce is sweet and savory, with lots of tomatoes,â&#x20AC;? Kitz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We put it on brats, burgers and other cookout foods, but we also love it on scrambled eggs, mac and cheese, and Lake Erie Perch sandwiches.â&#x20AC;? Kitz said she was also looking for more ways to raise money for the Thomas D. Kitz Foundation, named after her late husband Tom, who passed away in 2009. The foundation raises awareness and helps support Pancreatic Cancer oncology efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was 13 months to the day from diagnosis to the day he died,â&#x20AC;? Kitz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was

a horrible road. Tom asked us, the family, to do something to help give other people a fighting chance. A portion of the proceeds from the sauce will be used to help fund research on pancreatic cancer.â&#x20AC;? Kitz used Kickstarter, an Internet funding site, in April, to raise funds for marketing and to build a larger fan base for the sauce. Her campaign raised just over $6,000 which will be used to produce the first mega batch of sauce at the Northwest Ohio Cooperative Kitchen in Bowling Green. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The NOCK is an incubator for food products and small businesses,â&#x20AC;? Kitz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They helped get Garlic Expressions started, as well as the Stadium Salsa, which is sold at the Mud Henâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games.â&#x20AC;? Kitz said her first commercial batch of Hoopie Sauce should be available for sale in July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sauce is close to production,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The initial run will be a 25 gallon batch to make sure everything is working like we want it to. After that, we will make 55 gallon batches.â&#x20AC;? The sauce has already made fans across the country. Hoopie Sauce will be served and sold at Earlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gourmet Grub, in Los Angeles, CA, Kitz said.
Hoopie Sauce will also be sold locally at Takacs Grocery and Meats, located at 1956 Genesee, in East Toledo. Lou Takacs, owner, said Kitz dropped off a few samples of her product at the store. Takacs said he knew he had to carry it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sauce is different, unique and out of the ordinary,â&#x20AC;? Takacs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t describe the flavor, but it will be very good on sausages and hamburgers. The product stands for itself. As soon as she gets it done, we will carry it.â&#x20AC;? Until the sauce is on the market, Kitz is continuing to raise funds for the foundation. The 5th Annual Thomas Kitz Memorial Open will be held on Saturday, June 22, at the South Toledo Golf Club, 3915 Heatherdowns Boulevard, in Toledo. The scrambles tournament will be held from 9 a.m.-6 p.m., and includes a Big Easy Cocktail Hour, a Bayou Dinner, Who Dat Auction as well as 18 holes of golf and a golf cart. To register for the TKMOpen, visit to Tdkfoundation.org. For more information on Hoopie Sauce, visit www.kickstarter. com/projects/2047420745/hoopie-saucesweet-nsavory-just-like-grandma-made.

Clay softball closing in on Division I state final four By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com
Clay’s Brooke Gyori scores the winning run in the bottom of the seventh as her teammates celebrate. The Eagles defeated Anthony Wayne 4-3 to advance to the Division I regional final. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/www.hehphotos.smugmug.com) team’s ace, hits third and carries a .434 average with a team-high eight doubles and 34 RBIs. However, in softball, often the most important part of the game is pitching, and the Eagles have two high-grade hurlers in Gallaher and Danielle Lorenzen. Gallaher, a first team TRAC selection last season, is 16-2 with a 1.16 ERA. She’s pitched 115 innings and her strikeout-to-walk ratio is 129 to 37, or nearly 3.5:1. The other starter, Danielle Lorenzen, is 10-1 with a 1.80 ERA in 66 innings of work. She has 40 strikeouts and only seven walks. At Clay, where softball and baseball are already well-established perennially strong programs, this squad is only helping to enrich the softball program’s history. “This has been a pretty special year because we haven’t made it (to regionals) for a while,” Gallaher said. “It feels great because
“
It’s awesome because we have a lot of people in the community supporting us.
“
For the second time in five years the No. 6 ranked Clay Eagles made it to the elite eight. With a dramatic, 4-3 win over Anthony Wayne last Wednesday, Clay advanced to the Division I regional final for the first time since 2009. The Eagles have already won a Three Rivers Athletic Conference championship. By the time this is read, the Eagles will either have advanced to the state final four or missed a trip to state by one game. In Saturday’s regional final, they faced off with either Cleveland St. Joseph (13-18) or No. 3 ranked Elyria (24-5). Elyria defeated Clay, 4-1, in the D-I regional final in ‘09. Advancing to state would mean Clay is playing at Akron’s Firestone Stadium in a state semifinal this Thursday with the championship Saturday. The Eagles’ win over the Generals did not come without drama. Down 1-0, Clay scored three runs in the third inning to take the lead before AW rallied to tie it at three apiece with two runs in the seventh. However, the Eagles won it in the bottom half when Lindsay Schiavone drove in Brooke Gyori with a base hit up the middle. “It looked like we were in control and then we had a miscue and then we were in control and had another miscue,” said Clay veteran coach Brenda Radabaugh. “We’ve been successful coming back (this season). (The girls) knew someone could come through there. They’ve been confident (and) the bats have been there all year.” In the top of the seventh, with one out and runners on second and third, left fielder Haley Dominique made a key play to catch a line drive and doubled the runner off second to end the threat before Schiavone won it in the bottom of the inning. It has been a dream season for Radabaugh and her girls, and reaching the state tournament was a goal. “This has been a really nice season,” said Radabaugh. “When you coach girls, there is going to be drama. This year, they’re helping each other — they’re working hard in practice, they’re working hard to make each other better. They’re upbeat and positive; it’s a nice feeling.” The team’s batting order consists of center fielder and lead-off hitter Honnah Susor, followed by second baseman Lindsay Schiavone, pitcher/outfielder Brooke Gallaher, third baseman Hayley Schiavone, catcher Emily Novak, Dominique, designated player Jamie Miller, shortstop Harleigh Isbell and right fielder Gyori. First baseman Hanna Cowell is also seeing her share of action at the plate, hitting .314 in 51 at-bats. The Eagles have four of the top hitters in the area in Susor, Dominique, Hayley Schiavone and Gallaher. Susor is hitting.573 with three home runs, 21 RBIs and 28 stolen bases. Dominique, a freshman, is hitting .456 and is second on the team with 24 RBIs. Schiavone is hitting .446 and is tied with Susor and Jamie Miller with three home runs, tops on the team. Gallaher, the
we’ve put in a lot of work and it’s paid off. The chemistry has been really good on the team this season. “It’s awesome because we have a lot
of people in the community supporting us. Early in the season, not a lot of people were coming to our games, but now that we’re playing well and have made it this far, there are a lot of people coming to see us.” Radabaugh, who teaches AP Calculus and Algebra I at Clay High, is now in her 13th season with the Eagles. During her tenure, Clay has experienced nothing but success, winning nine league titles (3 GLL; 4 TCL; 2 TRAC) in three different conferences. Radabaugh has coached softball for 26 years, the last 21 as a head coach. Before taking over at Clay, she was the skipper at Central Catholic (1992-2000) for eight years and the junior varsity coach at Clay for five years. During that time, she’s accumulated a 413-152 record, good for a .731-win percentage. During her time in Oregon, the Eagles have gone 262-94 (.736), won eight sectional titles and three district championships.

Northwood Rangers in midst of season to remember By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It’s been quite a run for the 18-10 Northwood Rangers. After struggling during the early part of the season, Northwood has redeemed itself by turning things around and advancing to the Division IV regional finals. By now, they may even be state final four qualifiers. “We started off very slow (this season), but I think reality (set in), which made us work harder,” said Nick Russell, who’s been playing baseball since he was 5. “It has shown the latter part of the season. Winning the TAAC was one of our goals, but it’s not even close to (being) as important as (making it) to the state tournament. I always knew that eventually we would get on the right page.” The Rangers have won five games in the Division IV baseball tournament, defeating league foes Danbury (18-0) and Toledo Christian (10-3) before holding off North Baltimore, 3-2 and then downed another league foe, No. 3 seed Ottawa Hills, 8-6, to win a district championship. It was the sixth consecutive season in which the Rangers and Green Bears have faced one another in the postseason. They then went on to defeat perennial state small-school Catholic powerhouse Delphos St. John’s, 4-3, again in dramatic fashion. On Friday afternoon, the Rangers returned to Patrick Henry fo take in No. 16ranked Tinora (18-7) for the regional championship and a right to travel to Columbus for the state final four. “I am very proud of what we’ve accomplished as a team,” Nick Russell said. “A lot of people might think to themselves that it’s just little old Northwood, but I think we can say in the past four years we have proven we can compete with anyone.” This is only the third Ranger baseball team to advance to the regional final. They broke through and advanced to the state semifinals in 1991 and lost in the regional final in ‘85, a team that was led by current Northwood coach Dave Russell, who was a player back then. In their district semifinal game against the NB Tigers, the Rangers took a 3-0 lead into the sixth inning on a solo home run by Justin Rohrs and two-run home run by Russell. North Baltimore responded with a run in the sixth and added another in the seventh before Russell got the last hitter to pop out with the bases loaded to end it. In addition to his two RBIs, Russell got the job done on the mound, allowing two runs, none earned, on two hits in seven innings of work. He struck out nine and walked four. Russell also came up big in the Rangers’ upset of Toledo Christian in the sectional final, going 3-for-3 with a home run and two RBIs while getting the win on the mound. At least, it seemed like an upset at the time. In their win over the St. John’s Blue Jays (11-14) in the regional semifinal, Northwood rallied from a 2-0 deficit to take the lead on an opposite-field solo home run by senior Justin Rohrs in the sixth inning. He also had an earlier home run in the fourth inning that tied the game at two runs apiece. But the most satisfying victory may have come against conference rival Ottawa Hills. The Green Bears, a nemesis of Northwood’s for several years, had defeated the
Northwood senior pitcher and all-league player Nick Russell. (Press photo by Don Thompson/picasaweb.google.com) Rangers in the playoffs in each of the last four years, including 20-2 last season in the district final, before Northwood was finally able to enact revenge this time around. Rohrs and Russell have led the way at the plate during the postseason, each of them hitting three bombs in the five games. On the mound, Rohrs is 3-0 and Russell is 2-0 during the run. In his last two pitching performances, Russell, a four-year starter, has been brilliant, going 2-0 with 0.50 ERA while striking out 19 and walking six. Most especially, he has worked himself out of a number of jams that could’ve ended Northwood’s season. For the year, Russell is 7-3 with a 2.35 ERA. Currently, he is considering playing baseball at NCAA Division II Tiffin University next year. Rough start One step away from the state tournament, things weren’t going so well for the Rangers earlier this year. In fact, they started the season 2-7 before turning it around by going 16-3 in the last 19 games, a run that included a nine-game winning streak. “We started off slow and battled through some internal issues,” said Coach

Dave Russell, now in his sixth season at the helm. “We minimized the distractions and focused as a team. Our senior leaders took control of the team and turned us around. And we feel we are peaking at the right time.” The seniors he’s referring to are Nick Russell, who plays shortstop when he’s not pitching, Rohrs, the third baseman, 1B John Segura, CF Evan Perkins, RF Jordan Schell and LF Brandon Hoffman. They’ve all been instrumental to Northwood’s success not just this season but in years past as well. Last season, the Rangers advanced to the district final and, in the two years before that, won the Toledo Area Athletic Conference. The team, which is hitting .339, has Perkins (.346 BA, 7 2B, 28 R) leading off followed by Segura (.412 BA, 8 2B, 30 R), Russell (.506 BA, 6 HR, 38 RBI) and Rohrs (.398 BA, 4 HR, 28 RBI) in the cleanup spot. Catcher Myles Habel, shortstop and pitcher Jake Davenport, left fielder Hoffman, second baseman Jack Romstadt and Shell round out the lineup. In addition to Russell and Davenport (1-3, 4.10 ERA), Segura (2-0, 2.63 ERA), Rohrs (4-0, 3.02 ERA) and John Habel (1-0,
4.45 ERA) have pitched as well. During football season, this group of seniors went 10-1 and won the TAAC championship, hoping to make a run during the postseason. However, the Rangers were upset by Patrick Henry in the first round of the playoffs, 20-19, in a game that saw a number of key calls go against Northwood. That senior class went 31-11 in football, advanced to the playoffs four times and won three TAAC titles. Nick Russell has done some great things as quarterback of the Northwood Rangers football team. But it may be in baseball where he truly leaves his mark. Last fall, Russell led the Ranger football team to a 10-1 record, a TAAC championship and an appearance in the Division V playoffs. Russell completed 54-of-90 passes for 1,085 yards and 16 touchdowns and led the team in rushing with 530 yards on 75 carries and two touchdowns. Russell credits his brother, Erik, a 2011 Northwood graduate, who also played football and baseball for the Rangers, with helping him to work on his technique as a pitcher. Currently, Erik is a sophomore at Manchester University, a school located 35 miles west of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

James DeMeo looks to tear up the courts at Defiance By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Clay senior James DeMeo first picked up a tennis racket around age 6 and began playing competitively in the fifth grade. He had a few tennis lessons along the way, but mostly he taught himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just fun, running around and running down all the balls,â&#x20AC;? DeMeo said. He is 18 now and will graduate from Clay in June after making his mark within the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tennis program. DeMeo, who went 60-31 during his four-year varsity career, leaves Coach Walt Ralphâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program with more combined singles and doubles victories than any player in Clay history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can only look at the record books to get an idea of who was before him,â&#x20AC;? said Ralph, who became Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis coach in the spring of 1997. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He ranks right up there. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly the best player that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough competitor. When you put him in a match, if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way for him to win, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find it.â&#x20AC;? DeMeo, the starting point guard on the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball team last season, earned first-team All-Three Rivers Athletic Conference honors this spring after placing fourth at the TRAC tournament for the second straight year at No. 1 singles. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big accomplishment, considering the TRAC is highly regarded tennis conference. DeMeo finished 15-9 this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a great year for us,â&#x20AC;? Ralph said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was much improved. His strength has always been his athleticism and his quickness on the court. He gets to balls that are just amazing, and he gets them back. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a counter-puncher by trade. This year he was able to incorporate some aggressiveness and generate some points, and he had some good wins against some quality opponents.
Clay tennis player James DeMeo. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) He beat a couple players who had beaten him soundly last year.â&#x20AC;? DeMeo made the varsity team as a freshman and played on the No. 2 doubles team. He played second singles as a sophomore behind No. 1 player Ryan Nelson, who is currently playing at Defiance College, and has been Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 singles player the last two seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d do pretty well (in high
school),â&#x20AC;? DeMeo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fairly competitive. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to lose. I hate to lose.â&#x20AC;? Rather than play singles in the Division I sectional tournament this year, DeMeo chose to team with second singles player Todd Klewer. The pair played well at sectionals and advanced to the district tournament, where they won one match before being eliminated in straight sets by a duo from St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jesuit.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was his preference,â&#x20AC;? Ralph said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the worries I had would be he would regret that because he played so much singles, and you always want to go out on your own terms. They had fun and gave it their best shot. James is a great net player but, with the way he plays, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a chance to (go to the net) that much at singles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he comes to the net, he can turn it on as far as hitting good, stiff passing shots. He has great lobs, and his backhand is better than his forehand.â&#x20AC;? DeMeo said he had his reasons for wanting to team with Klewer at doubles in the postseason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to get him to districts,â&#x20AC;? said DeMeo, who advanced to districts as a freshman and junior but had never won a match there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought that would be cool. We had a good chance to make a run at the state tournament. We hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really played (together) that much, but he has a good forehand and I have a good backhand. I thought we could make a run.â&#x20AC;? Despite losing in the second round at districts, DeMeo said he made a good decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could have probably made it to the semifinal round (in singles),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really regret it, though. It was fun playing doubles. Having a person with you is fun.â&#x20AC;? DeMeo will play tennis at Defiance, a Division III school, where he will study either accounting or sports journalism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the campus because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really small,â&#x20AC;? DeMeo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have the same amount of students that Clay has. You know everybody on the team, and you know the professors. There are only 15 people to a class. I wanted to continue my career in athletics. I might try to play basketball there if I can, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m playing tennis for sure. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to go there and work hard and maybe go to a bigger school.â&#x20AC;?
Destiny finally catches up to new Clay coach Mike Lee By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Timing is everything, as Mike Lee can attest. Lee, Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new head football coach, remembered an incident 15 years ago when he figured he might be destined to one day coach the Eagles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was the head coach at Woodmore and I was in Oregon getting gas one day,â&#x20AC;? Lee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a Woodmore hat on and a guy at the gas station says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Mike Lee, right?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be our next head coach, right?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a whole lot about it. The next year, that job was not open, so I went to (coach at) Fostoria.â&#x20AC;? Lee, 56, who led Woodmore to four playoff appearances in his six years (199297) as the Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach, left Woodmore to be the head softball coach at Fostoria High School, where he also served as the offensive coordinator for football. Lee has been a head softball coach for 24 years and is a member of the Ohio Fast Pitch Softball Coaches Hall of Fame (2006). He also has seven years of experience as a head girls basketball coach. When Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head football coaching position opened up in 1999, Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Jeff, was an assistant coach at Central Catholic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had just moved to Fostoria, and Jeff
The Press Box said he was interested (in the Clay job),â&#x20AC;? Mike said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so I backed off. Jeff got that job, and as time went by I was interested in coming here to help him.â&#x20AC;? Jeff Lee was Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach from 1999-2006 and guided the Eagles to a 41-39 record, including the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only state Mike Lee playoff appearance, in 2004 (they lost to Avon Lake in the first round). â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Jeff resigned (in 2006), that was not a good situation for me to jump into,â&#x20AC;? Mike said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always kept my eye on it. It opened when Mike Donnelly resigned (after last season) and I was getting all my things in order. I knew they had to post the job within the school system and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anyone from outside the Clay system
1RUWK %UDQFK 1XUVHU\ ,QF *DUGHQ &HQWHU /DQGVFDSH :KROHVDOH
was going to apply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then, Mr. (Mike) Vicars got the job and I put my things away. When he resigned, I jumped on it and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to wait. I applied for the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball job when it opened up a couple years ago, after Roger Achter (resigned).â&#x20AC;? Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiring comes on the heels of the announcement in April that Vicars, who led both Delta and Genoa high schools to the state playoffs, including two state semifinal appearances, would not be accepting the assistant principal and head coaching positions he was offered in January. Vicars has since been hired as a middle school principal in the Pike-Delta-York school district as well as Deltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head football coach. Mike Lee, meanwhile, has been an assistant football coach and teacher at Lake Wales (Fla.) High School since 2006. He taught health education and was a personal fitness and weightlifting instructor at Lake Wales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything was going well in Florida,â&#x20AC;? Lee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was happy coaching there. Every job Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken has been a step up, just going up a little further. That ultimate goal, obviously, was Clay, and it finally happened.â&#x20AC;? Lee was in Oregon this week to meet with Clay administrators and put together a coaching staff. He was to meet with the football players on Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m up here this week to take care of
getting things in order for summer with the junior high program and my assistants,â&#x20AC;? Lee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to set the calendar, set the camps, weightlifting, seven-on-seven (camps) and so forth. As soon as schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out (June 5), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off and running.â&#x20AC;? Lee said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a hard time convincing his wife of 36 years, Jeanette, to move back to Ohio. The couple has three daughters: Becky is a teacher at Starr Elementary School, Tracy is a teacher in Sarasota, Fla., and Jackie is a teacher at Elmwood Elementary in Bloomdale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all for it,â&#x20AC;? Lee said of his wife. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great lady. I am very excited and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to get started.â&#x20AC;?

Comets, Rightnowar showing tourney foes who’s boss By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com There wasn’t a lot of bravado in Luke Rightnowar’s voice following his 8-3 complete-game victory over Lima Central Catholic on Thursday in the Division III regional semifinals in Elida. The sophomore right-hander was merely stating what he and the rest of the young Comets have been feeling for quite a few weeks now. “If we play the way we can,” Rightnowar said, “I think we can beat anyone.” The win over the Thunderbirds, last year’s D-III state runner-up, was the 14th in 16 games for surging Genoa (20-9), which advanced to Friday’s regional title game against eighth-ranked Bloom-Carroll (24-4). By now, readers know whether the Comets defeated Bloom-Carroll and advanced to the state final four at Huntington Park in Columbus. This year marks the Comets’ first appearance in the regional tournament since 2000. They haven’t won a regional since the 1999 season, when Rightnowar, 16, and many of his current teammates were still learning how to walk. Rightnowar, who improved to 9-0, held Lima CC to two hits through six innings and finished with a four-hitter, allowing three walks and striking out one. Genoa trailed 2-0 after one inning after allowing two unearned runs on a throwing error. “The guys did what we do,” said second-year Genoa coach Ron Rightnowar, Luke’s father. “We played good defense and Luke kept us in it. Finally, we got our running game going and (Lima CC) couldn’t control it once we started running. We had four or five stolen bases and I think it took some starch out of them.” Luke, whose leadoff double started a five-run rally in the bottom of the sixth inning, said he just had to stay focused after falling behind by two runs in the top of the first. “I just threw strikes and I knew the defense would back me up and the offense would start going,” he said. “I had to throw

(Press photo by Harold Hamilton/www.hehphotos.smugmug.com) strikes. I didn’t walk too many people and I made them put it in play.” Rightnowar entered the regional semis with a 2.49 ERA in 45 innings, with 25 strikeouts and 12 walks. He and junior Alex Hayes have pulled their weight on the mound for much of the season. “Luke just kept coming on toward the end of the year,” said Ron, who pitched for the Milwaukee Brewers in 1995. “We had some kids leave the team that were pitchers, for various reasons. Luke was in the rotation but was our No. 3-4 starter and he did well in those starts. When other guys left the team,
Bay Area Concrete
he and Alex moved up into the 1-2 slot and Luke just kept getting better and better. Alex pitched two complete games against (Northern Buckeye Conference champion) Otsego. They’re both capable.” Luke is certainly carving his own niche in the Rightnowar family. His oldest brother, Jake, was the Toledo Area Athletic Conference Player of the Year for Toledo Christian in 2009. Nick Rightnowar was an All-TAAC shortstop at Toledo Christian and a two-time TAAC Player of the Year in football as a quarterback. Their father, who has coached all three
boys, said he has talked with Luke about being himself and not trying to outperform his older brothers. “He’s his own guy,” Ron said. “He knows his dad played (professionally) and his brothers were successful. He understands he has to be Luke. He can’t be Nick and he can’t be Jake. They’re all a little bit different. He has far exceeded my expectations.” Luke, who stands 6-foot-1 and weighs 160 pounds, said he takes comparisons to his brothers in stride. “People always mess around with me about it, about what they did, and they joke around,” he said. “I know I’m not going to be them, so I just have to do what I do best. I can’t be them, so there’s no point in really trying.” Luke has had to overcome more than his family’s reputation. Three years ago he fell awkwardly off the mound and snapped two bones in his left (non-throwing) arm. “It was a gruesome break,” Ron said. “It really set him back.” Luke took more than a year off from baseball and returned to play as a freshman last season at Toledo Christian, where his father used to be the head baseball coach. Ron took over at Genoa in 2012. “When we made the move to Genoa, that gave me chance to work with him,” Ron said. “He enjoys baseball and he’s always been a very good pitcher, playing travel ball. He pitched a lot of ball as a kid. He had done more than most 13- and 14year-olds by that time anyway, so he was ahead of the game. Getting back into baseball, now it’s just kind of coming back to him. He looks like the old Luke, just attacking hitters and working hard.” Luke said he knew it was just a matter of time before he could get back on the mound. “I knew I would eventually,” he said. “I just love to pitch. It just took a while to get back into it. It was also good at the same time, taking a break from it and letting everything come back to me and not rush into it. Part of me was, I don’t want to pitch. It took time to let go of the fact that it happened, that I wasn’t scared to pitch again.”

eek: Blessed are the Poor in Spirit
What does it mean to be "poor in spirit?" And why did Jesus counsel that the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who are poor in spirit? If we look at the relevant passages of scripture, it becomes clear that being poor in spirit is directly compared with a spirit of poverty, and is the essence of what God wants from us. Consider Isaiah 66:2.: "But this is the man to whom I will look, he that is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word." And in the Beatitudes, Jesus makes it abundantly clear that those who come before
Oregon
God in a spirit of humility, in mourning, and in sincere meekness are favored over those with a sense of righteousness and spiritual pride. And although it can be quite difficult, especially when we are feeling proud of our spiritual accomplishments or are "on top of the world" spiritually; we would all do well to cultivate a sense of spiritual poverty. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." R.S.V. 1 Peter 5:5

Your Services Change, Your Prices Change, Why Does Your Yellow Page Ad Stay The Same? An ad should be flexible... Like your business. Not chiseled in stone like a stagnant yellow page ad. So if you’re choosing between The Press Expert Section and the yellow pages, consider this... With cell phones, caller i.d., internet directories, search engines and competing phone books there is less reason to go to a phone book with your ad in it. On the other hand, you have The Press in your hands just like your potential customers living or working in 33,892 homes and businesses in your market area. For less than $21 a week, you can reach them in The Press Expert Section.
