Chef’s Best Catering to serve inmates By Cynthia L Jacoby Special to The Press At least three warm breakfasts a week are part of the new menu at the Ottawa County Jail since Chef’s Best began providing meal service for the inmates. Chef’s Best Catering of Port Clinton started cooking June 1 for the prisoners at the Ottawa County Detention Facility located at the Ottawa County Courthouse and the misdemeanor jail at the county complex off Buckeye Boulevard. Their contract specifies meals at $1.95 each and will be in effect for three years, Sheriff Steve Levorchick said. Previously, the meals were provided by the Riverview Healthcare Campus for $2.44 per meal. With an average of 80 inmates on site per day, the costs add up quickly. More than 86,000 meals were served last year, amounting to a $223,000 food bill, Levorchick said. The sheriff hopes to cut meal expenses
“
Meals are a big factor for the jail. It’s a huge expense.

Imagine going to the grocery store and seeing “Honeyka” brand honey next to Tony Packo’s pickle relish. If that day arrived, it would be two food brands with roots in Birmingham, East Toledo’s historic Hungarian neighborhood. That is the dream of the Birmingham Development Corporation, creating a cottage industry that is bottling and selling honey it manufactures and processes out the 100year-old Magyar Garden on York Street. The BDC is branding its Birmingham sweet honey “Honeyka” because it is an Hungarian term of endearment. “It’s like saying ‘Oh, dear’, or when a little kid falls down, you go, ‘Oh, Honeyka, what’s wrong?’” said master gardener Karen Wood of the Perrysburg-based Black Swamp Conservancy. “We thought it was so cool that it was a Hungarian word that would translate over to a name for our company.” The long term plan is for funds from honey sales to help fund improvements for the Magyar Garden. An even longer term goal is to help fund the operations of the BDC so that money can be put back into the community. Another goal is to hire workers to help process the honey, Wood said, to create jobs and make “Honeyka” a full-fledged business offshoot of the BDC. “We want to get more successful by hiring people from the neighborhood and they can walk to work,” Wood said. For now, the work is done by volunteers. “We would like to get big, but we wanted to start small because we don’t think you should start out too huge,” Wood said. “You get growing pains and you fail. Every year with our garden and our company, we add something, and this year we added four hives, and we’re putting up this greenhouse, we put up the fence, and we’re having a statewide open house there on the (August) 17th.” The business has already begun expanding its product base. “This year, we tripled our hives and we’re going to start making stuff out of lavender,” Wood said. “We’re going to make lavender soap because we grew the lavender next to the bees. The bees like the lavender and the lavender likes the bees, so we’re go-
about $50,000 in the coming year with the new contract. Riverview took over the meal distribution nearly a decade ago when Ottawa County Commissioners opted to close down the in-house kitchen in the basement of the detention facility. “We had to let a lot of good people go. They were great people,” said Bob Brat-
ton, who served as sheriff at the time of the kitchen’s shuttering. Bratton is now the chief of the Genoa Police Department. “Meals are a big factor for the jail. It’s a huge expense.” Department finances have been debated for years, especially as the recession rolled through the county. But Bratton said aging kitchen equipment was also a factor in the kitchen’s closing. “We had some major equipment issues. We were looking at $100,000 for some new equipment we needed – and that was just the beginning.” The commissioners at the time employed Riverview for the meal preparation and delivery, although Magruder Hospital had also been considered, Bratton said. Still, no contract was ever advertised or inked, Levorchick said. And in reviewing finances, the sheriff decided to see if a cheaper option was available by putting the contract up for bid.

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Two Ottawa County school systems plan to hold meetings this summer to educate the public about the Alert-LockdownInform-Counter-Evacuate (ALICE) school emergency response program. The Benton-Carroll-Salem School District and St. Boniface School will hold the town-hall meetings in August, said Guy Parmigian, superintendent of the B-C-S district. The program was discussed during the May 28 meeting of the B-C-S school board. Ron Dowling, a high school teacher, Don Christie, assistant middle school principal, and Parmigian presented information about the program to the school board along with Steve Weirich, Oak Harbor Police Chief. The strategy behind the program will enhance the current safety policies already in place in the district, Chief Weirich said, in the event students and staff are faced with a shooter in one of the district’s school buildings. The training is designed to increase the chances of surviving a shooting by providing options for students and staff, Parmigian said. “It was very eye opening,” he said of the training. “It’s common sense but it’s about reducing the number of targets that, God forbid, if you have a shooter come into your building. We started our training by watching a video re-enactment of Columbine using transcripts of tapes. Teachers were telling kids to sit down, lock down, and don’t leave and some of those kids were about five feet away from a door and they could have escaped. We also looked at the tragedy at Virginia Tech and the mentality was just to lock down. The ALICE training for Dowling, Christie, Parmigian, Weirich and Jody Hatfield, Carroll Township Police Chief, was sponsored by the Materion Corp. at no cost to the school district, Parmigian said. Ottawa County Sheriff Steve Levorchick hosted the training at the county’s emergency training center. Last month, the teaching and nonteaching staff at the high school, middle school, and elementary school at the Genoa School District underwent additional training for the ALICE program during an in-service day. Officers of the Clay Township Fire Department walked through the halls of the schools firing rounds of blanks during a 30minute session. Staff members, who had been issued maps of firing spots, listened from their rooms and offices and were later able to discuss how they might react during an actual shooting.

Over three days, all of the students practiced by grade level, Wolfe said. The first time the students got together as a whole was the afternoon of the performance. “The parents, teachers, school administration, and guests were surprised,” she said. “I heard the first verse of ‘All for One’ and saw over 500 fingers pointing up in the air like the number one I knew they were. They were together as one for one last time. I hope they will remember how it felt for all of them to be able to come together as a school no matter their grade, interests

It was great to see all the kids having so much fun together.
“
Parents, teachers and community members received a special gift from the students at Jerusalem Elementary School during the school’s annual Jet Jamboree held on Monday, June 3. The special day of fun was made even more memorable thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Jerusalem Parents Group (JPG), teachers and the students themselves. According to Kelly Wolfe, corresponding secretary of the JPG, members of the organization wanted to do something special for the half day event. “The JPG meets monthly and one topic that has been discussed the last year or so was the idea of promoting more music, art and performance based opportunities for the kids at Jerusalem,” Wolfe said. “We knew that the parents group at Coy Elementary put on a musical each year and did a wonderful job. We had the idea of a talent show but by mid- year we didn’t think we would have enough time to organize it, schedule it and recruit the kids to participate before the end of the year.” Wolfe, who has a 25 year background in dancing and has choreographed dance routines and musicals for Central Catholic and Clay High School, thought they should try to make up a dance the kids could perform at the end of the carnival. “A day or so later, I really began thinking about how would I actually get the kids together,” she said. “How would they feel about participating and dancing? How am I going to get all of them to work together dealing with ages 5 to 12, both boys and girls, children who have physical and learning disabilities, and for some who are just shy and might be afraid to perform?” Involving the whole school, every student, regardless of age and ability was important to Wolfe and the JPG. Wolfe’s daughter, Kayley, a third grade student at the school, has a rare genetic movement disorder that affects her balance, movement and coordination. “I was already fully aware of wanting to make sure all of the kids be a part of this performance no matter what their abilities or disabilities,” Wolfe said. “I knew Jerusalem also has other students with Cerebral Palsy and one student, Alivianna Gallup, that uses a motorized scooter due to Muscular Dystrophy, who I wanted to make sure was able to be a part of this with her classmates.” The song “All for One” from High School Musical 2 was used because it went with the “Summer Fun” theme and it reinforced the idea of bringing all of the kids together and performing all together as one, Wolfe said. Ms. Linda Rossler, physical education teacher and Ms. Elizabeth Gibson, music teacher assisted with getting the children in from their recess, so they could learn the dance from Wolfe and the two other parent volunteers, Terri Medere and Rebecca Zim-

I am proud of all she has done.” Alivianna has Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). The young lady uses a motorized scooter to get around and to stay as involved as she can in multiple activities, Beverly explained. “When we first got the diagnosis, we thought she is not going to be able get around,” Beverly said. “I never thought she would be so happy. She really wanted to do this dance.” Beverly said Alivianna has been to two other schools before attending Jerusalem. The culture of the school as well as the parents, teachers and the students have made the transition very easy for her daughter, she said. “I have known Kelly (Wolfe) for a few years,” Beverly said. “She told me about this dance and she made sure there was a lot of hand movements in it. She geared it towards kids who can’t move or stand as much. Not a lot of people do that. That school takes into account the different abilities of the students. The kids were so inviting of Alivianna. As soon as she went there, she was just accepted.” PJ Kapfhammer, school board president, attended the Jamboree which included games, a dunking booth, Putt Putt, a DJ, and an obstacle course. “It was great to see all the kids having so much fun together,” Kapfhammer said. “The staff and parent group at Jerusalem go above and beyond to make sure the kids have a great experience at the Jerusalem carnival.” Each year JPG hosts the end of the year celebration for the students from the group’s annual fundraising events and with the help of area businesses who sponsor the Jet Jamboree. Platinum Sponsors this year, who donated $1,000 or more, were The Press Newspapers, BP/Husky and Ace Roofing.

100-year-old Magyar Garden sees renewed interest By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com
Birmingham gardeners to brand ‘Honeyka’ ing to start making lavender sachets and other lavender-oriented products, too.” The Honeyka business is the brainchild of Lucas County Administrator Peter Ujvagi, a Birmingham native with Hungarian ethnicity. Ujvagi falls back on his childhood to remember his own family gardening at the Magyar Gardens. Peter and his son, Andy, still garden there, and came up with the idea of producing honey five years ago. Wood, although not an east side resident, was a college intern for Ujvagi when he served on city council in 1982. “As part of that, Karen Wood shows up, and she was part of that process, and she has become the ‘Queen Bee,’ working on bringing the first three beehives to the community,” Ujvagi said. “Now, we’re up to seven or eight. The results have been unbelievable. I mean, our gardens have become so much more productive. The raspberries that got produced last year, because the bees were around doing their thing, were just unbelievable. It came hand-in-hand — a revitalization of an old tradition — and then adding to it,” Ujvagi continued. “This year, we’ve doubled our colonies and it’s going to be really great. You see, the Port Authority have now stepped up and are helping with funding, and The Andersons.” The BDC rents the Hungarian Club portunities present themselves. One year, we got some water lines put in because the first year we had to bring water from home for the garden,” Peatee continued. “We probably occupy three to four acres and there are probably 17 acres available, but we lose our logistics if we move away from our water sources.” The improvements keep coming. The group received a $17,400 grant from the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority, $5,000 from The Andersons, and a woman who gardened there left $10,000 to the Birmingham Development Corporation in her will. A certified monarch butterfly and bird way station was added in 2012 and the facility is planning to join the Cornell University urban bird study project. The way station is a place for birds and monarchs to rest when they migrate. “I think that it’s amazing — this renaissance of what’s basically a victory garden,” said master gardener Karen Wood of the Black Swamp Conservancy. “I’m really proud of the east side and the people in Birmingham. “We started this with virtually no money. We paid for feed and we paid for plants, and we got plants from Toledo Grows in the very beginning and they helped us with drainage problems. You don’t ever do great things in life by yourself. Everything is a village. It’s a group effort.” The gardens are sponsored by the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association, which will highlight Magyar Garden as part of the Ohio Sustainable Farm Tour and Workshop Series on August 17.

building — two blocks away — for processing honey. “It’s a win-win for them, and it’s a winwin for us because we only have to take the beehives two blocks away. It’s a perfect community concept,” Wood said. The first year, 200 pounds of honey were produced, and the second year slightly less than 200 pounds. The first year, about $1,000 worth of honey was donated to neighborhood residents as a goodwill gesture. Last year, with seven hives, $1,000 was put back into the development corporation. “This year we ramped it up because we have a fence now given to us and we’re getting a greenhouse. It’s awesome that (The Andersons) support us and we’ll have a place now to not only grow plants, but one corner of the greenhouse we can store our extra stuff for the beehives,” Wood, a Bowl-

Statewide farm tour promotional material states that the Magyar Garden in East Toledo’s Birmingham neighborhood is over 60-years-old. Lucas County Administrator and longtime Birmingham resident Peter Ujvagi says the community garden’s roots can be traced back over a century. The Magyar Garden is once again becoming a popular gathering place for gardening with 37 families putting down plots. Gardeners are arriving from as far away as Genoa and other East Toledo neighborhoods. “Magyar Garden is basically a rebirth,” Ujvagi said. “All of that land for over 100 years had community gardens on it. It actually goes back to more than 100, because when the Birmingham neighborhood was first settled, basically a steel mill came and located on the Maumee River. The owner sent agents to Slovakia, Hungary, and Italy to recruit workers. “Well, when they got to this neighborhood, their land was a 35-foot plot with a little house on it. So, the tradition in Central Europe is to have your farmland out in the country and you lived in a village. So, those folks then started what was called the Furnace Lands and the Railroad Lands. The Furnace Lands were York Street and the Railroad Lands were along Woodford. Some people started gardening there — they were squatters, and along there were hundreds of gardens. “Five years ago, there were still three families who were still gardening there. When you ask them why do they do it?’ (They would say) ‘I don’t know. My parents did it, my grandparents did it, and so we do it.’ Basically, what we did was to reenergize the century-old tradition of gardening around the community.” An elderly gardener named “S.T.” has been gardening there for over 60 years. Ujvagi is not sure of S.T.’s real name. The chairman of the Birmingham Development Corporation’s garden committee, Carl Peatee, estimates S.T.’s age at 87 and believes he has been farming the Magyar Garden since 1935. “He is an urban farmer and he actually sells down at the Farmer’s Market,” Peatee said. “He just had an aortic valve replaced over the winter and I thought maybe he was going to back off a little bit. He came out in the spring, and said, ‘Nope, nope, I’m going to do everything I did before.’ (We said), ‘The more power to you, Guy.’ Another family who has maintained an interest is the Brewers, relatives of the late well-known singer Theresa Brewer from East Toledo. However, most of the other families there are new. The garden’s growth has been ongoing. Ten new families were added this year, increasing the demand for more plots. Other gardeners with lead roles include Julianne Emerson and Chris Strayer. “It’s an offshoot of the Birmingham Development Corporation. We kind of started this project as a means to develop some community spirit and get people to take a little pride in their neighborhood and clean things up a little bit, and we’ve been doing it for about six years now,” Peatee said. “Every year we try to make a few more improvements to the garden as different op-
Postage stamp yards Peatee moved to Birmingham from Toledo’s south side with his wife soon after they were married. Like other city dwellers, there is no room in his “postage-stamp” yard for gardening, so the community garden is ideal. “I’ve been pretty much gardening all my life,” Peatee, 50, said. “I grow all sorts of vegetables and I can and freeze stuff, and I eat out of the garden all year long. For me, it’s just a way of surviving. I live on a very limited income and every little bit helpskind of thing.” Its vegetables for Peatee, but for others it is about creating beauty with florals. It just depends on taste. “Some of them plant sunflowers, which is good for the bees. It’s primarily a vegetable garden, I would say,” Peatee said. “Everybody grows what they want to grow. We have a little rule, if they have any excess, we have a little table there that they can set it on, and if somebody wants it they are welcome to help themselves. Once or twice a week we’ll take stuff down to the food bank with any excess. Last year or the
ing Green resident, said. “(U.S. Congresswoman) Marcy Kaptur is coming to look at it (last) Friday because she’s really interested in the plight of the honey bee. They’ve had colony collapse and bees have had issues with pesticides and a variety of other issues. “That’s one of her issues, is, if we don’t have honeybees, we don’t have food. Seventy percent of our food is pollinated by bees and if the bees are disappearing, which they are, how are we going to eat? She’s big on agriculture for Northwest Ohio. She’s been a big supporter of us — she comes over about twice a year and revs up the troops.” Wood says the bees have a better chance of surviving in an older neighborhood. “People don’t have lawn services, so it can be a win-win to be poor, actually. I know it sounds crazy, but I know people who have bees in Perrysburg and they die every year because everybody has a chemical lawn service,” Wood said. “But, on the east side you don’t have the money for lawn services so it’s a much healthier place for bees. One of the best places for bees is exactly where we are — the east side. I like to plug the east side. Finally, there is something that we do well. It’s the perfect environment for bees — they have the Maumee River for water a block away, they have no chemicals, and it’s a perfect place for the bees to live.”
year before, I think we ended up taking 800 pounds of food down to the food bank. “We’re hoping to stay there. Our project this year is a greenhouse that we are going to be putting up. And, we’re hoping from that to start a lot of our own seeds in the spring and hopefully extend our growing season in the fall with some crops. Who knows where that will lead? “One of the thoughts we’re thinking is we can probably start a lot of flower-kind of seeds and make those available to people in the neighborhood. There again, as a means to try and beautify the neighborhood. When you get people gardening like that, they take interest in their neighborhood and maybe they take a little more pride, too.” Peatee and Wood believe the garden is another step toward revitalizing the neighborhood. “The neighborhood is an old neighborhood and it’s got some problems in terms of a lot of rental property issues. Everybody knows renters. They don’t really care and they just beat everything up and sometimes it shows in the neighborhood. It’s not a bad neighborhood,” Peatee said. “It’s unfortunate that all the business and industry in the area have cut back here. Years ago when you had the shipyards here, the Gulf Refinery that was there, the coking plant that was there, most of the people that lived in the neighborhood worked in those places and when those places shut down that’s when the neighborhood started going down. Those interested in becoming involved with the Magyar Garden can contact Wood at 419-699-5037 or Peatee at 419-490-0176.

Wales Rd. overpasses to be finished in November From June 10 through September, Wales Road, between Oram and East Broadway roads, will be closed for the Wales Road railroad overpass project. Closure is due to new pavement tie-ins, where the old Wales Road meets a newly configured Wales Road. “There were some utility relocations that we’re working on, but the last update I received this morning is that the road will still close on June 10,” Theresa Pollick, Ohio Department of Transportation District 2 public information officer, told The Press on Wednesday. Pollick said ODOT has met with Northwood businesses that will be affected by the closure, which will allow access for local traffic. “We have talked with the businesses out there and they have been kept abreast of the project throughout the whole process. We always make sure everyone has access points when doing construction. We do our best to work with everyone,” she said. The $11.2 million project includes the construction of two overpasses over the CSX and Norfolk Southern railroad tracks on Wales Road that will effectively eliminate three railroad crossings and open up traffic that is frequently delayed by trains. Wales Road is the only east-west road linking Northwood’s business district with its westerly neighborhoods. As a result, the
trains separate the east from the west sides of town. To adjust, the city had to build two fire stations on the east and west sides to avoid serious delays when emergency vehicles respond to calls. “This project opens up the east to west artery for businesses, residents, fire and police, and school buses in Northwood,” said Mayor Mark Stoner. “No more detours because of trains. We’ve had to have two different fire stations because of the trains. You didn’t know if you were going to get blocked or delayed. We couldn’t take a chance. We also always had a police presence on both sides so there was always someone who could respond.” The project, which also includes the realignment of Wales and Drouillard roads south of their current locations, is expected to be completed in November, according to Pollick. Stoner said the overpasses could open up economic development, since motorists will no longer have to take detours to get around trains. “They will be able to go through Northwood rather than use the expressways to get all the way around,” said Stoner. It’s the biggest project in Northwood. We can now go up and over the railroad tracks. It will be better for everyone involved.” Twists and turns The city faced several hurdles to get the overpasses built since the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) conducted a railroad corridor

study in 1993 that ranked Vickers Crossing at the top of a list of area crossings needing an overpass. Approximately 130 trains cross four sets of Norfolk Southern and CSX tracks daily at Vickers, where tracks intersect, tying up traffic. The crossing, northwest of the Wales and Drouillard roads intersection, also creates delays for the port because rail shipments must wait for the crossing to clear. TMACOG had recommended a rail-torail grade separation plan, which would have elevated the north-south line 30 feet above the CSX mainline at ground level,

allowing trains to cross both ways at the same time. The project got a shot in the arm in 2000, when former Governor Bob Taft traveled to Vickers Crossing to announce a $200 million, 10-year program to fund railroad overpasses in Ohio. Northwood eventually dropped the Vickers Crossing project due to high costs, estimated at $30 million. Instead, the city chose a cheaper and more limited option of building two railroad overpasses on Wales that would eliminate three at grade crossings on Drouillard and Wales roads. In 2006, the city learned that Congress had transferred $4 million in funds earmarked for the project to two other communities in Ohio. The project had been scheduled to start in 2007. The funds had been transferred because they were originally set aside for the construction of the rail-to-rail crossing at Vickers. Stoner went to Columbus to get support from the Transportation Review Advisory Council (TRAC), which pledged to cover the shortfall in funding. The city earmarked $900,000 for its local share of the project. “When Taft came here, the first year I was mayor, I thought we’d get the first overpass,” Stoner reflected. “We were lucky to get even one.” ODOT’s detour for traffic during the road closure on June 10 is Walbridge Road; I-280; Woodville Road; Oakdale Avenue; and E. Broadway. Drouillard Road at Wales Road will remain open through July.

Court Superintendent search Log It’s a low turnout at forum The Oregon school board, as of Monday, received six resumes for the position of superintendent of the Oregon City Schools district. The deadline to submit an application was Friday, June 7. Just days before the deadline, there were no candidates within the district who submitted applications for the position. The position has been posted on the Ohio School Boards Association’s website. Board member Jeff Ziviski said he expects a total of about 12 resumes to be submitted by the deadline. The incoming superintendent will replace Dr. Mike Zalar, who recently announced his resignation to take the superintendent’s position in the N. Olmstead city school district. He has been superintendent in Oregon since 2008 and was principal of Clay High School for five years prior to that. Zalar will remain in the Oregon district until Aug. 31. A sparsely attended community forum was held Monday at Clay High School to give the public the opportunity to provide input to the board on what qualities they would like to see in a new superintendent. “I think everyone has their own opinion on what they are looking for in a superintendent, and we also want to hear what the community is looking for in their next leader for the schools,” Board President P.J. Kapfhammer said at the forum. “Tonight is the first official step in the search for the superintendent.” Kapfhammer said a superintendent should be someone who “leads by example,” and who “constantly works to improve the district.” “It’s not enough to just sit there and be happy with your results every year. You have to implement change and be willing to work to bring about those changes, and sell the community and staff on why you’re doing those changes,” said Kapfhammer. Board member Carol Molnar said a superintendent has to be aware of state law, how it changes, ensures that the district is implementing those changes, and assigns people to keep track of them. A week from Thursday, the board will review the resumes and narrow the field of qualified candidates for interviews, planned for the following week, according to Ziviski. “If we want second interviews, or if we want to do another community forum
with the applicants, there are other options open,” said Ziviski. “The problem we’re going to fall into is that most administrators lock in their contracts at the beginning of July in the districts they’re in now,” said Kapfhammer. “So if we didn’t move real quickly, we wouldn’t have anything to choose from because they would be locked in for the next year. We don’t want to see this district go without.” Kapfhammer said a new superintendent must address the important issues facing the district, such as reconfiguration and iPad transition in junior high. “We want a leader driving that ship,” he said. A woman in the audience asked what the annual salary would be for the new superintendent. “Like in most jobs, we have a salary range. We have a schedule based on years of experience that we follow,” said Ziviski. The range, he said, is from $115,000 to $135,000. Area districts, such as Sylvania and Perrysburg, pay superintendents a top salary of $135,000, according to Ziviski. Zalar’s yearly salary is $119,000. “We’re a good district, a great place for someone to move up and take care of things and move on,” said Ziviski. “We’re a stepping stone district for some. But we don’t have to be that for whom we select. We can select someone who we think will be around for a while.” Superintendents usually resign their posts after serving just five or six years, said Ziviski. “And when they move on, they usually move up,” said Kapfhammer. He expressed disappointment that so few showed up at the forum. “I wish there were 300 to 400 people here. I thank you for coming out, but it’s disappointing. There’s only six people in here besides employees. It’s almost heartbreaking that when you do have a shot to define your next leader, no one comes forward and says anything. We do work for the community. But if we don’t hear from anyone, it’s hard to follow what the community wants and needs. Of course, we want to be transparent. But more importantly, I wanted to hear from the community because the people who have kids in the schools have the most to lose or gain.” Kapfhammer said the search will be a “well thought out process.” “Hopefully, we’ll bring back a home run for you guys, someone you will be excited to see in the district,” he said.

State budget environmentally-friendly By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Ohio Environmental Council sees some positive items in the state’s proposed two-year operating budget bill being discussed in the legislature; but there are also potential damaging amendments. Jack Shaner, deputy director of the OEC, said Monday he’s pleased with plans unveiled in the Senate to direct the sale of $26 million in bonds for the Clean Ohio Fund and add $600,000 to a fund for increasing water quality monitoring and stemming the spread of toxic algae in Lake Erie and inland lakes. The House of Representatives had previously recommended an additional $26 million for Clean Ohio funding. If the House and Senate recommendations are both approved, it would allocate the entire $52 million balance over two years from the Clean Ohio bond program approved by voters five years ago. Shaner said the OEC also supports a Senate proposal to earmark $500,000 to promote job development in the bio-science field and the development of goods without hazardous by-products. He said the Senate has an opportunity to add more “green arrows to its budget quiver.”
In testimony before the Senate Finance Committee, Shaner requested: • New controls on oil and gas drilling, including prohibiting the treatment and discharge of fracking wastes into surface or groundwater. • Increasing the budget of the Ohio Rail Development Commission, which helps fund rail infrastructure improvements. • Requiring the Ohio Department of Transportation to survey local transit agencies for long-term needs, including the costs and benefits of additional public transportation service. Shaner’s testimony also addressed OEC concerns about the disposal of wastes that are designated Technically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (TENORM) from oil and gas drilling in landfills. “The OEC strongly urges the Senate to follow the House’s lead by rejecting this amendment and pledging, instead, to consider it in a stand-alone bill to enable robust scientific inquiry and debate,” his testimony says. “We appreciate the fact that the Administration acknowledges that a problem exists. But we strongly believe the proposed solution is a bad solution that will risk the release of radioactive materials to the air and water and will make Ohio a magnet for radioactive-tainted waste.”

Steel Magnolia Award During operating hours, trained docents and greeters will be on hand to answer questions and to share the history of the 1820s stone home of the first keeper of the Marblehead Light, Benajah Wolcott. The house will also open June 8 from 11-3 as part of the Second Saturday schedule. Special Second Saturday open houses are scheduled each month through October. New and experienced volunteers gathered at the Keeper’s House, 9999 Bayshore Road in Danbury last week to get reacquainted and to get ready to welcome the thousands of visitors that come throughout the season to enjoy the restored home, the museum and adjacent historic cemetery, and to learn about life on the Firelands frontier. The Keeper’s House site was in the middle of one of the first skirmishes of the War of 1812, and celebrated the bi-centennial of that event last year. The Wolcott Keeper’s House is a project of the Ottawa County Historical Society, who purchased and restored the home in the 1990s, and uses it as a venue to share
Nominations are now open for Walbridge-area residents to be considered for the fifth annual Steel Magnolia Award. Women who have overcome obstacles to positively impact the greater Walbridge community have the opportunity to earn recognition as Steel Magnolia Award recipients in the program funded by the AK Steel Foundation. Up to 10 awards are given annually, limited to no more than one recipient per AK Steel U.S. location per year. Each recipient designates a $1,000 donation to an eligible charity of her choice. The award honors women of all ages who have faced personal adversity and have shown exceptional strength, courage, compassion and leadership through their work in support of their communities. Middletown Community Foundation Executive Director T. Duane Gordon added: “The nomination essays we receive annually for the Steel Magnolia Award are so inspiring and moving that it is a highlight of our work each year. Our communities have such amazing women accomplishing so much that it can be astounding but also motivating.”
Last year’s Walbridge-area honoree was the late Christine Bosch of Millbury, whose parents chose for her $1,000 award to support her former school, Cardinal Stritch High School. Bosch was born with Down syndrome but grew to be a faithful volunteer in her community prior to her death in 2011 shortly before her 35th birthday. She was an active member of St. Jerome’s Church, being its top festival ticket seller for two years. She received the ARC Lucas County Volunteer of the Year Award in 2007 for her work with Help Me Grow. For nine years, she served as the manager for the boys’ basketball team at Cardinal Stritch. The school awarded her an honorary posthumous diploma and placed her photo on the school Athletic Wall of Fame last year. Nominations, which should take the form of an essay of 500 words or less, must be submitted to the program administrator, the Middletown Community Foundation, no later than July 31. Nominees must live in the vicinity of an AK Steel facility. Association with AK Steel is not a requirement for nomination and will have no bearing on the nominee’s consideration.

He did a wonderful job of proving the point I was making when I said anyone wishing to hurt someone by calling names or inflicting injury is the hater. It’s not the label, but the words and behavior of the person that determines what they are. He may want to look up the definition of the word “rant” and then check his own letter. Conservatives and liberals unanimously agree that criminals should register their guns. Not posting the Ten Commandments in schools isn’t the reason society is falling apart; I never said it was. Removing God from our homes, schools, lives and world is the real culprit. Did you notice after 9/11 and our tornado devastation there were many signs, even on public schools, begging, “God Bless America?” Did you also notice that as things settled down, many people returned God to his box until the next disaster occurs?

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Data shows that poor, black and Hispanic neighborhoods are the constant targets for abortion clinics. Statistics also confirm that although blacks make up only 13 percent of the population, nearly 40 percent of abortions kill black babies. How much torture would you think 55 million babies have suffered as they were brutally killed? Doesn’t say much about compassion, love your neighbor or acceptance of differences, does it? It is biologically impossible for two people of the same sex to be married in the traditional sense of the word. However, that fact isn’t denying respect to people who love each other.

Victor of victim? Your attitude determines your future
“
Dare to Live
“
Do you conquer problems or do they conquer you? It’s attitude that determines whether you are a victor or a victim. Your age, education, financial status, or social standing don’t matter. There are victors and victims from every background. Victors are not special. They are not better than others. Victors know “they can” whereas victims are convinced “they can’t.” Whether you are a victor or victim is up to you. However, victims argue this is not the case. They claim they have no control over their circumstances. They believe some people are luckier than others or have more fortunate situations. A victim will point out that there’s nothing they can do to improve their situation. Victors don’t make excuses. They don’t complain. Victors look at whatever problems are before them and then seek solutions. They work with what they have and start from where they are. Victors understand they have the ability to take control of their destiny. You can choose to be a victor even if you are used to being a victim. Start with your self-perception. Visualize yourself as a victor, overcoming any obstacles you encounter. Don’t worry about not having an immediate solution. With a victor’s mindset, you will discover the answers you need. As a victor, you are not susceptible to naysayers who provide you with a litany of reasons why you won’t succeed. As a victor, you are immune to ridicule. You don’t have a need to convince anyone of your chances for success. Instead, you simply stay focused on achieving your goal. Victors know every problem has a solution and they are determined to find it. They look at problems from every angle. They break problems down to simplify them. They consider all possible solutions. You are a victor when you automatically think, “I can,” rather than, “I can’t.” You purge your self-talk of negatives. You never discourage yourself with a constant barrage of pessimistic thoughts. As a victor, you understand that anything is possible. Within you lies the power to achieve your dreams. You have more

by Bryan Golden potential than you realize. Any limits you feel are self-imposed. For you, failure is not an option. You know that failure only occurs when you give up. Setbacks are normal, providing an opportunity to grow. You learn from your mistakes rather than becoming discouraged. Victors are always honest, ethical, and moral. They don’t take advantage of or cause harm to anyone. Victors harness the power of attraction. They treat others with kindness, respect, and consideration. A victor’s success is not at the expense
PRESS The
of someone else. Being a victor is not selfish nor does it cause other people to suffer. There’s no reason to be jealous of a victor. Anyone and everyone can achieve that status. As you know, time goes by too fast. Being a victor enables you to get the most out of life. Too many people fail to live their dreams because they think and act like victims. The only thing stopping you is yourself. If you don’t feel like a victor, objective-
ly assess your thoughts and actions. Identify those areas which need adjustment. When things have consistently not been going your way, look in the mirror to determine the role you are playing. The past is over. What’s important is the course you will take from today forward. Life is about making choices. It’s up to you to decide whether you will be a victor or a victim. The path you follow is up to you. No one else can or should pick it for you. Be determined to think and act like a victor from this moment on. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Billboard underestimates potential cost of DUI at $10,000 Page Two
Cost of a DUI in Ohio
by John Szozda
Tow $125 Three-day storage of car $45 to $90 Alcohol assessment test $25 to $200 Attorney fees $350 to $5000 Court costs (Lucas County) $108 Court fine $375 to $1075 Driver Intervention Program $350 to $380 Alcohol treatment (10 sessions at $180 each) $1,800 Probation ($20 a month for 12 months) $240 License reinstatement $475 Party plates $25 $1,250 to $3,290 Increase in auto insurance (for five years) Ignition interlock (Installation & monthly fees for one year) $1,018 Increase in $100,000 life insurance (per year) $924 High end Total $14,750 venience of blowing into the system before starting your car. You should also be aware certain foods can trigger a false reading as well as mouthwash.. Try explaining that to the judge. By now that $125 for a simple tow to remove your car from the roadside after you were escorted to jail in handcuffs looks like a bargain. But, a spokesperson for Pat & Son’s Towing says, don’t forget the $15 to $30 a day for vehicle storage. You can’t legally drive now so you’ll need to recruit two friends to pick up your car. By the way, it’s good that you have friends because it will be 15 days before you can get driving privileges to go to work. If you think these penalties are harsh but rare, think again. “This can all be on a first offender,” McGowan said. “It’s not uncommon. This happens every day.” Now, if you think you’re being treated unfairly and you want to hire an attorney, McGowan warns there isn’t much leeway on simple cases and an attorney will proba-
bly cost you $350. Injure someone, however, and go to trial to mitigate your financial hit you can expect to pay $5,000 in attorney fees. We’re not done yet. Let’s look at insurance rates. Joe Miller of First Insurance Group in Oregon says a standard policy for a 23-year-old male living in Oregon with a clean driving record and a 2009 Ford Fusion, 4-door, 6 cylinder motor, would pay about $2,224 annually. Add a DUI and that jumps to $2,474, an increase of $250 a year. If an accident is involved, the cost jumps to $2,882, an increase of $658 a year. Miller says the DUI would put the driver into the “high risk” category. Consequently, the rate increase would stay in effect for five years, versus the standard three years for a driver involved in a non-alcohol related accident. We’re fast approaching $10,000, depending on how much work you want your attorney to do. But, there are two more con-
Graduation Cakes
“
...it’s not even worth it. If you’re going to drink, get a cab.
“
The billboard shows a young man taking a breathalyzer test. It states, “You just blew $10,000.” Truth or scare? Depends on what you blow, your age and whether or not you’re a first offender or involved in an accident. You can be sure of one thing, though. “There are no zero days in jail,” says Chris McGowan, a Toledo attorney who has been defending drunk drivers for 23 years. McGowan and other professionals consulted show that one drink over the line could cost you more than $10,000. A worstcase scenario puts the number at $14,762. An injury accident could push it higher, while a sympathetic judge or good lawyer could reduce it. Let’s start with McGowan. He says a first time offender can expect a jail sentence of 33 days, 30 of which would be suspended upon completion of a three-day driver intervention program. Estimated cost: $350 to $380. An alcohol assessment test cost $25 to $200 and, depending on the results, the judge could send you to treatment for 10 sessions at $180 a session. McGowan said some programs could cost less. One of them meets three times a week, three hours a day for 26 weeks. Now, ask yourself, how much is 234 hours of your time worth? You likely will be placed on probation for one to two years. There’s a cost to that--$20 a month. That may be minimal but if you slack off on treatment, or reoffend, you’ll find yourself heading down that snake hole of darkness without a flashlight. McGowan says in Lucas County you should also expect court fines between $375 to $1,075 and court costs of $108. License reinstatement runs $475. “Party plates” cost $25, should the judge deem embarrassment might wake you up. Don’t bother adding up the dollars yet. The judge may order an ignition interlock system. Chalk up another $1,018 for installation and the monthly maintenance fees for one year. The Steinle GMC Chevrolet in Fremont installs and removes the system for $160 and Intoxalock, a system provider from Iowa, leases its unit for about $70 a month. The loss of money pales in comparison to the embarrassment and incon-
cerns: your image and life insurance. Do you want to drive with “party plates,” blow into an ignition interlock system to start your car and depend on friends and family to ferry you around town? Then, there’s the car to consider. “Are you going to get a Corvette or the cheapest little putt-putt you can because you’re tapped out?” McGowan asks. Joe Miller adds that life insurance for a 35-year-old male in good health costs about $108 a month for a $100,000 policy. The same policy for someone with a DUI in the past five years is about $185 per month, or an increase of $924 a year. Granted, you may not need a $100,000 life insurance policy and you may be able to reduce or eliminate some of these costs, but the billboard is more truth than scare. McGowan leaves you with these words: “What I’ve learned from my days in doing this is that it’s not even worth it. If you’re going to drink, get a cab.” Comment at zoz@presspublications.com

Walbridge woman is a big loser and proud of it By Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer twalro@presspublications.com
At the Extreme Weight Loss Challenge’s initial weigh-in, Chlebowski tipped the scales at 255, making her goal an even 100. “13abc reporter Kelly Heidbreder, who led the challenge, told us that typically, people lose, on average, 80 pounds during the challenge, so I was excited,” Chlebowski said. Throughout the challenge, participants competed on a point system, earning points based on weight loss and performance in monthly group challenges, as well as extra credit points for getting in one workout or class per month at Super Fitness. “Each month, half of us would get eliminated,” she said. From October through May, Chlebowski continued her food journaling and worked out regularly at home on her elliptical machine. She also joined a local running club, the Toledo Roadrunners. “I had been running off and on since college, though not so much when I was at my heaviest,” she said. “Toward the end of the challenge, in the last couple of months, I bumped my workouts up to twice a day,” she said. “And I stuck to the 1,200 calories for the most part, except for the very end, though I never went too low because I didn’t want to lose the weight in an unhealthy way.” It turns out, the often-prescribed formula of eating less and moving more worked for Chlebowski and she was often at the top of the point charts at the challenge’s monthly events. “There were a few people who were on my tail, and I found that motivating…I guess I didn’t really know how competitive I was,” she said.
“
In May of that year, I got on my scale and it briefly flashed 367 pounds and then it went dead… I believe it really only went up to 350.
“
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Sometimes you win when you lose… just ask the participants in 13abc’s recent Extreme Weight Loss Challenge. When the TV station’s annual competition ended last month, Robin Chlebowski, of Walbridge, was crowned the biggest loser and she couldn’t be more thrilled. The challenge started last October, with more than 170 people putting it all on the line in an attempt to lose weight and win prizes. Though the TV station had been issuing calls for participants in the weeks before the Extreme Weight Loss Challenge started, Chlebowski hadn’t heard anything about it. “One morning, I turned on the news and they were talking about it being the last day to register for the challenge,” she said. “I was only half listening until they said part of the proceeds from the $25 registration fee went to ALS. “My grandma passed away from ALS, so I took it as a sign,” she said. “I didn’t even know they had done this in the past or anything and I thought, you know what…what could it hurt?” she said. “They said come after 5 and join in, so that’s what I did.” At 38, Chlebowski, had been struggling with her weight most of her life. In early 2010, she was diagnosed with skin cancer and subsequently underwent surgery. The treatment was successful and today, she’s cancer-free. “The whole thing sent me into a depression,” she said. “At the time, Ben and Jerry were my best friends and I gained a ton of weight. “In May of that year, I got on my scale and it briefly flashed 367 pounds and then it went dead… I believe it really only went up to 350,” she said. Frustrated, embarrassed and fearing for her health, Chlebowski decided she needed to do something. “I even considered lap band surgery, until I read that a possible complication of the procedure could be death,” she said. Her research also noted that lap band patients are required to stick to a 1,200-calorie-a-day diet for the rest of their lives. “So I decided to pretend that I had the surgery and from that day forward, track my food in a food diary and do the 1,200 calorie thing. “I bought a little book called ‘The CalorieKing’ and wrote everything down,” she said. “I know a lot of people use the apps to track their food, but I’m old school…I like putting pen to paper. I felt it made me more accountable, because I had to do the work of writing everything down.” Chlebowksi’s efforts paid off and within a year, she lost almost 100 pounds. “Then the summer came and I was a little lackadaisical, and gained back a few pounds,” she said. “Then when this challenge came up in October, I thought it would be just what I needed to get me to my final goal, which was 155.”
Robin Chlebowski, of Walbridge, surpassed her 100-pound weight loss goal and was named the winner of the Extreme Weight Loss Challenge. Chlebowski credited the support of challenge sponsors and her coparticipants, along with the tried-andtrue-formula of eating less and moving more for helping her win the challenge.
Her efforts were featured on regular segments of the 13abc news programs. “Yeah, despite the fact that I had my hair pulled back, was sweating most of the time and was always wearing that bright yellow competition shirt, I actually loved being on TV, she said. “I told myself, in the end, I’m only going to look better so I can’t care what I look like now.” “In the end, it came down to just four females,” Chlebowski said. “Prior to this year, I think males had really done better. I
thought it was cool we had “girl power.” “Though we were competing, the support from everyone involved in the challenge was amazing.. I’ve gained lifelong friends…it’s become like a family,” she said. “Toward the end, we were all saying that it really didn’t matter who wins or loses because we’re all winners in the end,” she said. At the final weigh in, held May 6, Chlebowski registered 153 pounds, beating her goal by two pounds. She was crowned the winner May 21, based on her total points earned. She received a trophy, a yearlong membership to Super Fitness and a treadmill for her efforts. “I’ve never met my weight loss goal before, so when I did, I thought, “what do I do now?’” she said. In the meantime she’s gained back a few pounds, which is ok with her “I think 153 was a little too thin for me,” she said. She remains confident she can keep the weight off. “I’ve broken up with Ben and Jerry for good, and the workouts have become a regular part of my life. I’ve also run more 5Ks than I ever thought I would.” She’s also trying to live up to the proud boasting by her mom. “I think the people she works with are tired of hearing about me,” she said. She’s also looking forward to the 13abc’s next Extreme Weight Loss Challenge. “It starts up again in October, and I’m going to get involved with helping to coach and motivate the participants,” she said. “I’ve always wanted to be a motivational speaker, to help other people.”

Drug supply chain strengthened The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1919, the Safeguarding America’s Pharmaceuticals Act of 2013, a bipartisan bill sponsored by Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH) to strengthen the nation’s pharmaceutical distribution supply chain. Co-authored by Rep. Jim Matheson (DUT), the legislation is a result of collaboration and input from stakeholders throughout the pharmaceutical supply chain. “I am pleased to see the House pass this important patient safety bill, which enhances the current supply chain, and seeks to keep Americans safe from counterfeit drugs,” Latta said. “The pharmaceutical supply chain is a key link in our the health care system and it is imperative that we work to get the various sectors of it uniformly connected in a safe, secure and effective manner that provides the best protection for patients.” The bill establishes a national standard of tracing requirements for manufacturers, wholesale distributors, pharmacies and re-packagers based on changes in ownership. Further, it requires the affiliates of the supply chain to undertake verification and notification activities regarding suspect or illegitimate products.
About 90 percent of Genoa 7th-graders still need booster shots By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press news@presspublications.com Nearly 90 percent of students heading into seventh grade at Genoa Middle School in the fall need to get mandated Tdap booster shots. The state began requiring the booster shot at the teen level about four years ago. The Tdap immunization is a combination vaccine that protects against three bacterial illnesses – tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough). Whooping cough is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection. In many people, it’s marked by a severe hacking cough followed by a high-pitched intake of breath that sounds like “whoop.” It’s the rise in the number of whoop-
ing cough cases nationwide that led to the proactive immunization requirement at the middle school level, Genoa Schools nurse Joanie Brunkhorst said. Students cannot return to school without evidence of having received the shot. The school year ended May 29 with 124 sixth-graders roaming the halls of Genoa Middle School. “I’d say we only have about 10 percent done,” Brunkhorst said days before the 2012-13 school year came to a close. “But the information is out there. They are aware of it.” More than 41,000 whooping cough cases were reported last year across the country, a 50-year high, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. In nearby Michigan, a whooping cough outbreak persists, the Detroit News reports, affecting 25

middle and high school students in May alone. Long before summer break began, Genoa administrations and the nursing staff undertook a multi-level campaign to get the word out about the vaccine’s necessity. Letters were sent home with grade cards, a story was published in the Comet Communicator and reminders were sent to parents via the Honeywell Alert System linked to their personal telephones and cell phones, Brunkhorst explained. “It’s mostly about the whooping cough. But the tetanus should carry them through their college years,” she added. Whooping cough had once been considered eradicated in the United States. However, the caseload has climbed in the last decade as parents choose to opt out of the vaccines based on medical and
religious exemptions, recent studies have shown. Before the vaccine was developed, whooping cough was considered a childhood disease. Now whooping cough primarily affects children too young to have completed the full course of vaccinations as well as teens and adults whose immunity has faded, health officials say. Tdap vaccines are available through family physicians, the Ottawa County Health Department (419-734-6800) and Shots-for-Tots (419-213-4121). The Shots-for-Tots program requires a parent to accompany the child, presentation of immunization records, however, no appointment is needed. The health department also requires a parent on site, the previous shot documentation as well as an appointment.

To show how good the prep softball is on this side of Toledo, Eastwood was playing in the Division III state tournament over the weekend and yet the Eagles did not even win their league. The Eagle’s success this year, taking a 29-3 record into the state semifinal, is enough to earn Coach Joe Wyant Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Co-Coach of the Year honors. Of course, the Eagles did take two of three from Northern Buckeye Conference champion Elmwood Royals, including a 5-2 district final win. “We split with them during the regular season — they beat us the first game, we beat them the second game,” Wyant said. “It wasn’t redemption, but it made up for not winning the league, I guess. It helped, because they beat us by one game in the league — they had two losses and we had three. It helps that way. In our minds, we think we are as good or better than they are, but we lost a few games.” To at least one player, winning the rubber match was redemption. “It was definitely redemption. It always feels good to play against Elmwood and it was good going into regionals,” senior Emily Helm said. Eastwood junior catcher Anna Rahrig added, “Elmwood is always such a great team and we always look forward to playing them. Of course, it was good to get the win, but they are such a great team and we respect them so much. We had a great season, so either way, so we did well with three losses in the league.” Joining Wyant as Co-Coaches of the Year are two veterans who did win league titles, Clay’s Brenda Radabaugh and Gibsonburg’s Kyle Leatherman. All of the players earning the top individual awards represent those three teams. Clay pitcher Brooke Gallaher is Pitcher of the Year and Clay outfielder Honnah Susor is Co-Player of the Year, sharing the honor with Gibsonburg second baseman Filomena Mendoza. All three are juniors and will be back next year to put a scare into league opposition one more time. Eastwood senior Alena Gabel gets The Press’ big stick award, Offensive Player of the Year. All awards and All-Press team honors are taken directly from the coaches’ league voting. All the top awardees will get plaques from Alan Miller Jewelers, and team selections will get certificates. No. 6 ranked Clay finished 26-4, losing a D-I regional final to No. 3 ranked Elyria (25-5), 4-1, but winning their ninth league title (3 GLL; 4 TCL; 2 TRAC) under Radabaugh (413-153) along with their eighth
sectional and third district championship. Gallaher, a first team TRAC selection two years in a row, finished 16-3 with a 1.32 ERA. She pitched 122 innings and her strikeout-to-walk ratio is 130 to 41, A three-year varsity starter, she has a no-hitter, a one-hitter, and two shutouts this season. At the plate, she batted .422 with eight doubles, 34 RBIs, and six stolen bases. “She is a big reason that we have enjoyed success this season,” Radabaugh said. “We rely on her to pitch all of our big games. Brooke hits in the number three spot in our line-up. She leads our team in doubles and RBIs and is second in singles.” Susor led the team with a .566 batting average (56-for-99) with five doubles, three triples, three home runs, 21 RBIs, and 28 stolen bases. Only teammate Jamie Miller had more homers (4). “Honnah is a very gifted athlete who has been blessed with speed and strength,” Radabaugh said. “She is our lead-off batter and is a triple threat. She is equally good at getting hits with a slap, a drag bunt, or swinging away. “Honnah’s swing has improved and she is hitting with more power than ever. She leads our team in hits, runs scored (51), stolen bases, batting average, and on base percentage (.614). Honnah is a outstanding outfielder with a very strong arm. She has five assists from centerfield. She has been a great role model for our young outfielders.” Leatherman closes out his coaching career at Gibsonburg with a Toledo Area Athletic Conference title. He is moving on to become the middle school principal at Bluffton. After converting from summer college baseball coach to softball, his Golden Bears rewarded him this year. Mendoza played her part, batting .480 (49-for-102) with 14 doubles, three triples, three home runs, 48 RBIs, and a team-leading slugging percentage of .765. “We wanted her at the plate to drive runs in. She broke the school record for RBI in a season,” Leatherman said. “Filomena was very disciplined at the plate and looked for her pitch to drive. She was a tremendous threat to opposing pitchers because she could hit for power and average and could sacrifice bunt when absolutely needed. Filomena worked hard in the offseason which prepared her for the success she had during the season.”

Magical season prevails for ‘big stick’ Gabel, Eagles By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

Before that, I didn’t think I had the power to do something like that and I wanted to get more. I was hungry for more of them. “Ally was the most consistent hitter we had over the whole season. Ally was a team player hitting or bunting, doing whatever we needed from her.” Gabel, who hits second in the order, batted .414 with 40 runs last year while earning first-team All-NBC honors. “She’s had a great year,” Wyant said. “She was very deserving for player of the year. For an outfielder to get it is a little rarer, but she was very deserving. She’s worked out a little bit more. She played basketball. She just got stronger. She’s got a lot more bat speed, and she’s a very good defensive player and one of our faster people, obviously.” Gabel added that tasting this level of success in softball helped ease the pain of a

“
It has truly been a magical season for Ally Gabel and the sixth-ranked Eastwood softball team. Gabel gets The Press’ ‘big stick’ award, the Alan Miller Jewelers Offensive Player of the Year and will receive a plaque from the Oregon business. Gabel, the Eagles’ senior center fielder, has been a key cog in coach Joe Wyant’s squad reaching Friday morning’s Division III state semifinal game against top-ranked Bloom-Carroll (28-3) at Firestone Stadium in Akron. The winner plays for the state title on Saturday. Eastwood (29-3) enters the semis on a roll, having won 15 of its past 16 games to set a school single-season record for victories. The Eagles defended their Northern Buckeye Conference title and erased the memory of last year’s loss to Gibsonburg in the sectional finals. “It’s been amazing,” Gabel said. “I can remember going and watching the 2008 team go to regionals and being so excited and wanting to accomplish that in my career. As seniors, we’ve wanted something like this ever since my freshman year. After the disheartening season we had last year, that wasn’t how we wanted to end our year. We wanted to repeat this year and make a run in the tournament, and we’ve been nothing but successful. “It’s been so fun and I’m so happy I’m ending my senior year this way. To me, it hasn’t hit home. It (state semis) is just another softball game. We go every year to Akron for a tournament in April, so us seniors, it will be our fifth time playing at that field. I love playing in that stadium.” Gabel certainly made her senior season count. Two weeks ago she was named the NBC Offensive Player of the Year, beating out last year’s winner, Elmwood senior shortstop Brittany George. “I’m so excited to be honored with that,” Gabel said. “I definitely was not expecting that, that’s for sure. I went out and just played my game. I was shocked when my coach told me a couple weeks ago, the night they voted. Following someone like Brittany George, to compare myself to someone of that ability, it came out of left field for me.” The 5-foot-8 Gabel, 18, who will be attending Purdue University in the fall to study engineering, has put up some staggering numbers. A left-hander, Gabel is hitting .460 with 43 runs (second on the team behind Mackenzie Albright), 39 RBIs (tied for school record), 16 doubles (school record), four home runs and one triple. She has eight stolen bases and a .576 on-base percentage. “I’m most proud of my extra-base hits, the doubles, triple and home runs,” said Gabel, who earned first-team all-district and second team All-Ohio honors. “My sophomore and junior year I was not much of power hitter. When I got my first home run this year (a two-run homer at Woodmore), that’s the first one I’ve ever had. It

trying season on the basketball court. “It’s been a really good year for me,” she said. “I came off basketball season down in the dumps, because we didn’t have the year we were hoping for. I’m honored to be a part of the team. I love playing center field. I’ve
played there since my freshman year, so I’m comfortable out there. It’s like my second home. Offensively, I go out there and I want to get at least one hit a game. That’s my goal. If I end up getting more than one a game, that’s even better.”

Cincinnati-bound Breeden closes record-setting career By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com
Clay track thrower Nicole Breeden. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) hard work and putting in the time,” Wamer said. “Nicole has gotten herself to this point by putting in the time during the offseason. While coaching soccer in the fall, I would see Nicole over in the ring throwing three to four days a week. She has been an outstanding leader for our younger throwers on the squad.” Breeden said her goal, of course, is to be crowned the D-I state discus champion. “Most of my coaches say I can do it,” she said. “It will be hard, obviously. I just need to push myself the best I can. My goal is to get on that podium. I got All-Ohio last year and I want to achieve that again. I know what I can do. I won’t let one throw affect me, especially at state.” Nagy, a senior, will compete in the 110-meter hurdles after placing fourth at the Amherst regional meet. Nagy, the Three Rivers Athletic Conference champion in that event, also placed seventh in the high jump at regionals. “Jack won the most points award for the guys’ team this spring,” Wamer said. “Jack is a great leader and a tireless worker.”

since her freshman year, and she has embraced what it means to be a part of our hurdles team at Clay.” Gyurke, a junior, took third (11:00.69) in the 3200 at regionals and broke a 15year-old school record in the process. She shaved off more than 21 seconds from her race at districts. Gyurke was the TRAC champion in the 1600, 3200 and 4x800 relay, and was voted the meet’s outstanding female athlete. “Erin has a tremendous will to win and to be successful,” Wamer said. “Erin is the type of young lady you want the younger girls to model.” Hess, a freshman, will compete in the 1600 at the state meet after taking second at regionals. She also placed sixth in the 800 at Amherst and ended up as the Eagles’ top female scorer in 2013. “Haley is a fierce competitor with the speed of a sprinter,” Wamer said. “Haley qualified for the state cross country championships last fall while playing varsity soccer on the TRAC championship soccer team.”
“
I just need to push myself the best I can. My goal is to get on that podium. I got All-Ohio last year and I want to achieve that again.
“
Nicole Breeden played baseball at the Oregon Rec Center for eight years, so she figured why not try out for the Clay High School baseball team once she began her freshman year. She didn’t make the baseball team, but she settled for the next best thing. Breeden, a senior, went out for track and field as a freshman and took up the discus, and she’s now considered one of the best female throwers in school history. “One of my friends was going to do track,” Breeden recalled, “so I went out there a week or so after track (season) started. I ran track my seventh and eighth grade year, the 800, so I ran the 800 my freshman year and threw shot and discus. The next school year I asked coach (Scott Wamer), ‘do you think I should keep running and throwing?’ He said to keep throwing and keep my mind on that. I didn’t really like running anyways.” Breeden will spend her 18th birthday competing in the discus on Saturday at the Division I track and field championships at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus. Breeden took fourth at last year’s state meet, with a throw of 138 feet, 10 inches, but she has thrown 142-9 this season. “Obviously I’ve been there before, so I know what it’s going to be like,” Breeden said. “You have to do it there, throw your best there. Maybe some people might not. I’ve been working on throwing and getting some good throws. There’s really nothing more I can do except get my mind right for the competition and make sure I don’t get intimidated with other throwers and just worry about myself.” The 5-foot-8 Breeden, who has signed a letter of intent to compete at the University of Cincinnati, will be joined at the threeday state meet by Clay teammates Jack Nagy, Grace Winckowski, Erin Gyurke and Haley Hess. Breeden defended her regional discus title last week in Amherst. She is also a three-time district champion. Breeden threw 135-0 to win this year’s regional title. “I knew I was already seeded first going into regionals,” Breeden said. “Obviously I wanted to throw over 140, but the weather did not cooperate. I still threw pretty decent, even with the rain.” Wamer has high hopes for Breeden at the state meet. “Nicole has gotten her success from
Winckowski, a sophomore, will compete in the 100 hurdles in Columbus after taking fourth at the regional meet. She won the 100 hurdles title at the TRAC meet. “Grace is learning what it takes to be a competitive 100-meter hurdler,” Wamer said. “Grace’s work ethic has improved

nspirational essage of the
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

Four Cardinal Stritch athletes moving on to next level By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Four Cardinal Stritch Catholic athletes will play at the next level next year. Kyle Smrekar, a two-year varsity baseball player for this year’s Toledo Area Athletic Conference co-champion Cardinals (share with Ottawa Hills) was recruited by Walsh, where he will start in the fall. Stritch coach Craig Meinzer says Smrekar was a standout defensive player this year for the Cardinals. He was honorable mention All-TAAC this year. Alex Veres, a two-time first team All TAAC player from the 2012 TAAC champion softball team will attend Owens Community College and will be enrolled starting in the fall. Veres was also voted second team all-district. Sara Turner-Smith, a team captain and 2012 TAAC Player of the Year who led the volleyball team to the regional semifinals last fall, has already enrolled with Owens and just finished on line classes while working out with the team this spring. Another member of last fall’s Cardinals volleyball team, Brianna Axtell, will be making her way to Indiana Tech for the fall. Axtell was a second team All-TAAC player.
