Power plant
Air permit expected this month Developers of a planned natural gasfired electric power plant to be built in the City of Oregon anticipate approval this month of a final air emissions permit by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and a start to the construction of the $860 million project by the spring of next year. William Siderewicz, a managing partner of North America Project Development, said Wednesday he expects the EPA to issue the air permit “within the next week or two.” There is a one-month appeal period to contest the air permit – the last of the major regulatory permits needed for the project, he said, but to date no one has contested the project during public hearings. NAPD is building the 800-megawattt plant through a subsidiary, Oregon Clean Energy, LLC. Siderewicz and William Martin, also a managing partner with the development firm, said they plan to complete requests for proposals by the end of this month for

the hiring of firms to handle the engineering, procurement and construction phases of the project. Martin said Oregon Clean Energy is committed to hiring local contractors and union labor to build the plant, which will be located on a 30-acre parcel on N. Lallendorf Road. Oregon Clean Energy has an option on an adjoining parcel if there is a need to expand the plant in the future, he said. A construction schedule of 32-34 months is likely, Siderewicz said, adding it will require 475 to 525 workers and about 1.5 million worker hours.
“Everything we need for an energy project is right here,” Martin said of the local pool of skilled workers. The plan is to have the plant operating by May 2017. Energy Investors Funds, a private equity firm, is providing about 40 percent of the financing for construction costs and the balance will be covered by loans from commercial banks, Government funding won’t be involved in the project, Martin said. He and Siderewicz plan to retain an advisory firm by next month to assist in the structuring of loans. A preliminary analysis of the electrical market by NTE Solutions indicates the plant will have no trouble finding demand for the power it produces, Siderewicz said. He and Martin intend to meet in the next few weeks with PJM, the regional transmission organization responsible for coordinating the movement of wholesale electricity over all or parts of 13 states that is conducting a technical analysis of the plant’s connection to the local grid. The analysis is due to be completed by Sep-
Toledo’s District 3 city councilman Mike Craig and councilman and mayoral candidate Joe McNamara discussed their outrage at the Mayor Michael Bell administration for the city’s demolition of the Ravine Park pool. Craig said he found out about the demolition, which was already underway, on Wednesday from photos posted on the East Toledo Historical Society’s Facebook page. East Toledo leaders believe the razing began Monday. “There are walls down, there are pieces of cement literally down and it’s just the pool part of it right now. They are going to work their way up to the rest, I imagine,” said Jodi Gross, East Toledo Family Center community builder and spokesperson for One Voice for East Toledo. McNamara and Craig hosted a press conference Thursday morning at the corner of Dearborn Avenue and Colorado Street in East Toledo. “The lack of communication from the administration is not acceptable. At the very least there should have been a community meeting and advanced notice to the district councilman before any demolition occurred,” Craig said, McNamara, who will run against Bell in the next election, said, “Mayor Bell should be fighting for community anchors in Toledo, not tearing them down. This decision shows a complete disregard for local members of the community and a lack of vision for strong neighborhoods.” Andrea Martin, leader of Block Watch 410G (Garfield neighborhood), co-chair of One Voice’s housing and economic development committee, and an East Toledo Family Center trustee, says she believed that demolition of Ravine Park pool was supposed to be put on hold for further exploration. “Our councilman was not informed of this through official channels. He was informed of this via Facebook last night. It is a slap in the face from the current admin-

Damschroder bill puts limits on drones By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A bill limiting the use of drones by law enforcement agencies was introduced Wednesday in the Ohio House of Representatives by Rex Damschroder (R-Fremont). House Bill 207 was introduced in response to law enforcement agencies seeking to purchase and use unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly referred to as drones, he said. “As this technology continues to become more prevalent, the state of Ohio must be vigilant in seeing that drones are used only in circumstances that specifically pro-

Continued from front page tember or October but preliminary results show that a planned 28-mile power line project between Perkins Township in Erie County and Sandusky Township in Sandusky County may impact the timing of the OCEC plant connecting and selling all of its power onto the grid. “We may have to divert around it,” Siderewicz said. Yet to be decided is what type of turbines will be installed at the plant. Martin and Siderewicz have narrowed the choice down to two manufacturers, Mitsubishi and Siemens, which have factories in South Carolina and North Carolina respectively. The Oregon plant will have two turbines, which Siderewicz likened to “two giant jet engines.” The turbines and related equipment represent about $200 million of the plant’s cost. Mitsubishi and Siemens have both offered to lend about $30 million to the developers for building the new plant. The plant’s cooling tower will require about 3.5 million gallons of untreated water daily from Lake Erie and will dissipate about 85 percent of that into the atmosphere during the cooling process. The rest will be piped to the city’s wastewater treatment plant. Once operating, the plant will employ about 26 persons and have an annual payroll of $3 million. Salaries will range between $65,000 and $130,000. The plant will be buying about $1.1 million in water and sewer services annually from the city and pay about $1 million in property taxes. Mike Beazley, city administrator, said an abatement package will be offered but details haven’t been completed.

Fundraiser
Will gun raffle replace annual ox roast? Over the years, the Millbury Fireman’s Association has held an array of activities, including an annual ox roast, to raise funds to purchase equipment for the Lake Township Volunteer Fire Department - portable radios, air packs, stabilizer jacks, gloves and more – even a safety trailer the department uses for educational programs. Last year, the association decided to not host the ox roast, a tradition in Millbury for nearly 40 years, citing high up-front costs for permits, licenses, and food as well as a decline in the association’s membership. This year, the association is trying to raise funds by holding a raffle of a Bushmaster .223 caliber tactical rifle equipped with a Sig Sauer prismatic scope and 500 rounds of ammunition. Capt. John Castellanos said ticket sales have been brisk, with the association selling about 300 out of a total of 1,000 in the first week. Ticket sales end Sept. 1. He acknowledges the choice of prize might raise more than a few eyebrows. “Some people equate it to an M16 or AK47 and it’s not. This is a semi-automatic rifle. One pull on the trigger, one bullet,” Castellanos said. “Farmers are big users of these rifles. We’re interested in getting an item out there that people would want right now.” A rifle is not a suitable raffle prize for some people who’ve told Castellanos they won’t buy a raffle ticket but will still donate to the association. And the recent sharp increase in price and scarcity of many types of ammunition prompted one man to jokingly tell Castellanos when he purchased a ticket that he might sell the rifle and keep the ammunition if he won. The winner must pass a federal background check, which will be conducted through R&D Collectibles, a Lake Township gun dealer where the rifle and ammunition were purchased. The idea for raffling off a rifle was discussed when members of the association looked around at what other organizations were doing, Castellanos said, and noticed many were getting away from more traditional fundraisers. “It used to be feather parties, or Monte Carlo night, reverse raffles, and bingo. Now the regulations just for operating a bingo parlor are so restrictive,” he said. “And it’s hard to get people involved because of work schedules. Volunteer fire departments are smaller now than they’ve ever been. It takes so much to train and be qualified. There were not enough people to volunteer for the ox roast to make it run as well as it should.” The Woodville Township Volunteer Fire Department held its third annual gun raffle on March 31 at Ole Zim’s Wagon

The Lucas County board of commissioners, county engineer Keith Early, representatives from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and representatives from Meinke Marina and Anchor Point Marina will gather at Cooley Canal in Jerusalem Township this week to announce the completion of a $300,000 dredging project. Lucas County secured a Recreational Harbor Evaluation Program Grant offered annually by the ODNR to complete the work. Cooley Canal, a tributary of Lake Erie in Jerusalem Township for which Lucas County maintains a public access ramp, had developed a build-up of sediment over recent years making the canal impassable and affecting thousands of boaters and sportsmen. The grant provided funds to dredge the canal, once again allowing boaters to more easily navigate its waters. “The Cooley Canal project shows that a small investment in economic development can have big affects. Now, thousands of boaters will be able to enjoy Lake Erie this summer, adding millions of dollars a year to Lucas County’s economy,” said Lucas County Commissioner Tina Skeldon Wozniak. “One of the great things about this project is that we were able to fully fund it through state grant dollars. Lucas County is continuing to look at all options to spur economic growth and investment into our community.”

was a “very good success” but declined to state how much money was raised. “People were lined up out the door and we could have sold more tickets,” he said. The raffle included dinner. Heineman said he didn’t hear of any negative comments about guns being the prizes. “There may be some anti-gun people out there but we drew a lot of outdoors people and hunters,” he said. “We’ve even had some women enter for a chance to win free gun training sessions.” Winners had to pass a background check and had to be at least 18 to win a rifle or shotgun and 21 to win a hand gun. The department continues to hold pancake breakfast fundraisers during the winter months, Heineman said. Castellanos said the Millbury Fire Association scheduled its raffle to avoid conflicting with a raffle by the new Sportsman’s Club on Woodville Road in Millbury held on Father’s Day. A Colt M-4 custom carbine and a Colt AR22 M4 rifle were being raffled by the club. A background check is required for the winner, according to the club’s website.

9 submit resumes for Oregon superintendent
Biggest Week in American Birding: 2013 by The Numbers
By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Nine people submitted applications for the position of superintendent in the Oregon City Schools District by the June 7 deadline. Dr. Lonny Rivera, principal of the Wayne Trace Intermediate School in the Maumee City Schools District, and John M. Schloegl, director of operations, Kids Unlimited Academy, were the only candidates who live in Oregon. The other candidates are: • Mark Hartman, retired as superintendent of Antwerp Local Schools; • Bruce Kidder, superintendent Frontier Local Schools; • Curtis Clough, superintendent Franklin Local Schools; • Dr. Deborah A. Piotrowski, superintendent Xenia Community Schools; • Dr. Michael D. Sander, superintendent Massie Local Schools; • Dr. Thomas D. Gay, national/international education consultant, Faircloth and Forsythe and The Quality Schools Group, Wilmington, DE; • Mark A. Fenik, Middle School principal, Bloom-Carroll Local Schools. Two finalists Board President P.J. Kapfhammer said the list will be cut to four candidates at a special board meeting scheduled for June 13. “We’ll go into executive session to name the top four candidates. We’ll interview them, eliminate two and then look at the final two candidates,â€? said Kapfhammer. Rivera and Schloegl, he added, should be among the final four candidates because they live in Oregon. “In my opinion, Schloegl and Rivera should be considered among the final four because they are local and have roots in the community. I think it’s important, as a board, that we bring someone in who has connections in Oregon, who wants to be here, not for a job, but who wants to live here because they love Oregon,â€? said Kapfhammer. He emphasized that residency is, legally, not required for the position. “If they’re local, it’s just a big bonus for me,â€? he said. Choosing a new superintendent will be decided by a unanimous vote, he said. “We hope that by interviewing these candidates, we come to a unanimous decision who should be the next leader of the Oregon City Schools District. That will make our decision when to move forward easier. If we don’t come to a unanimous decision, then that will change how long it will take us to find a qualified candidate. We need to move quickly, but we’re not going to decide just for the sake of moving forward. It should be a slam dunk. If it’s not someone who we believe is the best candidate for the Oregon City Schools District, we’ll continue the process until we find the best person,â€? said Kapfhammer. The school board last month approved the resignation of Superintendent Dr. Michael Zalar, who is leaving to become superintendent of the North Olmsted City Schools District in North Olmsted, Ohio. The North Olmsted school board approved a three year contract with Zalar.

Ravine Park pool Continued from front page istration to the east side residents,� Martin wrote in an email to community leaders involved in One Voice. “We can’t undo the damage, but we can call them out on it and hold them accountable. “All of the surveys recently conducted through the neighborhoods show strong support for repairing and reopening that pool. This is just one more way that the city has chosen to ignore our needs and quality of life concerns in East Toledo. One very important question is, ‘What will be put there in place of the pool if it is torn down?’ East Toledo deserves some type of recreation facility.� Martin wants others to know “that we are not just a bunch of whining east siders.� She was referring to comments about the press conference posted on Facebook. “While many comments talked about needing security and the pool became a ‘babysitter’ for some parents, most of the comments were positive to our cause,� Martin said. Others attending the news conference were representatives from NeighborWorks, Main Street businessmen, and Garfield neighborhood residents. Gross helped organize the press conference, which gained traction from social media and emails. She would have liked to see even more show up, but there was less than a few hours notice Thursday morning. According to levy promoters, Toledo voters had a chance to save the pools in the November 2012 election. They turned down Issue 5, a city recreation levy, with 53.2 percent disapproval. Levy promoter Josh Thurston had said that if Issue 5 had passed, it would bring the City of Toledo in line with surrounding communities by having a separate fund for parks and recreation. The levy would have generated $3 million a year for 10 years. Thurston said the levy would have cost the average homeowner $20 a year.

Gross said. “Even in Garfield, 90 percent of the people that we interviewed from that survey said they would like to see the pool opened or something there. That’s the telling part of this — what is going to be next? What are your ideas? Is it going to be an empty field again?â€? Mayor Bell’s public information officer, Jennifer Sorgenfrei, responded to the criticism of the administration by email. “This community conversation actually began at the June 19, 2012 meeting of council with the planned demolition of Highland Park,â€? Sorgenfrei stated. “The media further covered it on July 9, 10, 12, and 13th by detailing the administration’s plans to demolish Highland, Ashley, Ravine Park and Collins Park pools. “The city lacks funding to make the extensive repairs necessary due to age, deterioration and vandalism, and the pools as a result are a safety hazard and a neighborhood nuisance that encourages loitering
and vandalism. The administration feels there is greater value to the neighborhoods in abating the nuisances than allowing them to continue to deteriorate another six years and further impact and drag down the neighborhoods.� The pools have been closed since 2007. Navarre Park pool in East Toledo remains open. “The administration continues to ensure that city pools are made available in each council district in Toledo, including Councilman Craig’s district,� Sorgenfrei said. City pools this year will open on June 24. The aquatic facilities available this year include Navarre pool; Roosevelt pool; Jamie Farr Park pool; Pickford pool; Wilson pool; Willys Park pool, and the Savage Splash Pad. Admission is $1 for children 12 years and under and $2 for visitors 13 years and older. Children eight years and younger must be accompanied by an adult.
Backpack supply drive As another school year comes to an end, many students are placing their backpacks in storage or are discarding them entirely in anticipation of buying next fall’s latest fashion trend. Once again, Owens Community College’s Alumni Association is organizing a “Backpack to the Future� collection drive to provide new life for what many students consider their mobile lifeline to learning. Throughout the summer, gently-used or new backpacks and new school supplies will be accepted along with crayons, markers, glue bottles and sticks, pencils, pink eraser, school boxes, pocket folders, composition books and tissues as part of the drive. Collected items will be donated to low-income elementary school children throughout Northwest Ohio. Since establishing the program in 2004, the Owens Alumni Association has given 2,881 backpacks and 54,243 school supplies to benefit disadvantaged children throughout Northwest Ohio. For more information or to make a donation, contact the Owens Alumni Relations Office at 1-800-GO-OWENS, ext. 7876 or alumni@owens.edu.

Woodmore graduate begins Mississippi adventure By Karli Keaton and J. Patrick Eaken news@presspublications.com
“
If you are a dreamer and want to be a part of a great American adventure, this is for you.
“
On June 8, Woodmore High School graduate Madelyn Hille, 23, began her canoe trip down the entire 2,500 miles of the Mississippi River. She is joined by a partner, Adam Hoffmeister, 25. Together, they are canoeing the headwaters at Itasca State Park in Minnesota until they reach the Gulf of Mexico in New Orleans. Hille and Hoffmeister have been together for three years. They both share a love for adventure and traveling. “We have the chance to live like Mark Twain and Jack Kerouac rather than just reading about their adventures in books,” said Hille. They chose to travel down the Mississippi River because it is specifically in the heart of the Midwest. Hille, an aspiring photojournalist, will be documenting the trip. She plans to portray the youth of America and how today’s youth choose to live their lives. During this trip, Hille plans on beginning her first photography journal of all the new sights she will encounter. She is giving the journal the title, Capturing the Mississippi. Everyone has an opportunity to view pictures of Hille’s journey by visiting kickstarter.com. This website will include the many pictures that may later be published in the journal. Hille said the trip is about her experience as much as for those reading her journal. “There’s something amazing about not knowing where you’re going to sleep at night,” said Hille. “I never plan to stop traveling, and I feel as though traveling helps me to grow as a person and helps me get to know myself better.” The idea came to her when she was with friends passing conversation. “You know one of those long summer nights when laughs are easy, the company’s fantastic, and every idea is a good idea? It came from there. We had actually set the date for 2012 but had a great opportunity we couldn’t possible pass up, so we pushed the due date back to 2013 and here we are. We’ve been planning this trip for nearly two years, and we’re finally ready,” Hille said. “The biggest risk of this trip is the weather. We have been following The
23-year-old Woodmore graduate Madelyn Hille. (Facebook/Madelyn Hille) Farmer’s Almanac for 2013, but as we all know Mother Nature is never truly predictable. If there is a large rainstorm, we will seek shelter for a those days then resume paddling ASAP. Even in that event you can be sure we will document it all for CTM,” Hille says. “Another possible challenge is if either of us was to get sick or injured during our trip. In the event that happens we would return home and publish CTM nonetheless but rework the formatting.” Even though Hille and Hoffmeister are taking on the Mississippi River without any help, others may join their progress online. “I know what you’re thinking, and the answer is yes — we would love for you to come along with us,” wrote Hille on her blog. “But, we know you all have personal
obligations and those pesky commitments, but never fear — this is where the really cool part starts.” Gone for 72 days… Hille has already calculated how long the trip should take. “We created an elaborate equation, calculating wind speed, rain fall, and paddling variation, etc. (”just kidding,” she adds about paddling)…and came up with August 17th. The average length we’ve calculated is 72 days for a trip from the headwaters of the Mississippi to the Gulf,” Hille says. She says the bulk of funds raised on Kickstarter is going towards producing the photo book Capturing the Mississippi, or “CTM.” Any excess will go towards food
and toiletry costs during the trip and travel expenses to get from her current home in Indianapolis to Minnesota and from New Orleans back to Indianapolis. “At the end of each day I will pick a photo that best sums up that day’s events, whether that is an amazing sunrise over Memphis, meeting some awesome people at the local pub, stumbling upon a summer festival, or getting lost in the never ending forest of weeds and hydro plants. At the end of the trip I will compile these photos into one photo book and it will tell the complete story of our trip,” Hille writes. According to kickstarter.com, which is set up for fundraising projects, Hille has 46 backers and on June 2 reached her $3,000 goal, raising $3,336. The finished journal should bring even more attention. “Because we don’t know the exact number of days the trip will take us, Capturing the Mississippi will be somewhere between 50 to 100 pages. The average length of this trip is around 70 days so that means the book would be 70 pages.” There is also video of the trip already downloaded on the website. “If you are a dreamer and want to be a part of a great American adventure, this is for you. This photo book and trip are a celebration of youth, freedom, wanderlust, and making dreams come true. We are at that amazing time in our life when the entire world lies before us, and we want to live this moment to its fullest and document it for all to remember,” Hille says.

P.J. Kapfhammer found guilty of disorderly conduct By Melissa Burden Special to The Press news@presspublications.com
“
I am glad it’s over. I had no issue paying the fine. I would pay the fine every day to make sure those kids are safe.
“
Oregon School Board President P.J. Kapfhammer was found guilty of disorderly conduct in Maumee Municipal Court last week stemming from an incident in February at Clay High School in which he attempted to get an unidentified autistic man to identify himself. Kapfhammer had been charged in Oregon Municipal Court with disorderly conduct, a minor misdemeanor, as well as menacing, a fourth-degree misdemeanor charge, on February 13, following the Feb. 1 incident. Oregon Municipal Judge Jeffery Keller recused himself from the case, which was then transferred to the Maumee court. Terry Blachowski, the mother of Thomas Blachowski, 25, who has autism, filed a report with the Oregon Police Department on Feb. 3 that stated Kapfhammer had shouted profanities at her son in the Clay High School weight room after Blachowski had failed to identify himself. Blachowski stated her son was the honorary manager of the baseball team and was working out in the weight room with 50 other team members.The report stated that Kapfhammer entered the room and began yelling and shouting profanities at Thomas. The baseball team manager went up to Kapfhammer and “explained what the situation was.” On Monday, June 10, Kapfhammer entered a plea of no-contest to the minor misdemeanor charge. The menacing charge was dropped as part of a plea agreement. Kapfhammer was found guilty by Judge Gary Byers, who ordered him to pay a $150 fine as well as $87 in court costs. Kapfhammer told The Press after the court proceeding that he was happy to have the incident and the resulting charges behind him “I am glad it’s over. I had no issue paying the fine. I would pay the fine every day to make sure those kids are safe,” said Kapfhammer. “I did what I thought was best
at the time. I was not going to leave until I found out what he was doing in there.” Kapfhammer was at the high school speaking with a wrestling coach outside of the weight room on Feb. 1 when he noticed Thomas Blachowski in the room with students. He said he was uncomfortable that an unidentified adult was in the room, and he asked Blachowski to identify himself. Clay was hosting the Three Rivers Athletic Conference varsity wrestling championships at the time. Kapfhammer, who is chairman of the school board’s safety committee, said Blachowski turned away from him and did not respond. Kapfhammer denied he threatened Blachowski, but conceded he raised his voice while demanding that Thomas identify himself. “I would not have done one thing differently,” Kapfhammer said. “I did what the police had told me to do. I stopped the individual and made sure he did not get away from us. I did exactly what the department had told us to do.” Prior to the incident, the board held a community safety forum with the Oregon Police Department in response to security concerns after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings. Employees were told what they should do if they identified a suspicious stranger
in or around school property, he said.. “We were told to approach the person and ask them who they were and why they were there,” Kapfhammer said. “We were told not to let the person leave if we did not get the information. Unfortunately, I approached a person who is not able to communicate. I did not know until afterward that Thomas was autistic.” “The person who allowed him (Blachowski) to be in there, coach Gary Isbell, was not there,” Kapfhammer said. “There was one adult supervising 40 kids and he did not know he was autistic.” Kapfhammer said he has always put kids first. He has donated his $125 paycheck for meetings to the Oregon Schools Foundation, he said. “There has never been one time where I did not put kids first,” he said. “I am not part of the good old boy network, the clique crowd. I don’t want to be a part of that. I am not there to be a popular guy. When I left that room that day I knew the kids were safe and I am fine with that. If people think I am a maniac, I am fine with that as well. A person would have to kill me before they would get to the kids. That day, I was doing what I thought was the best for those kids. I hold no ill will towards Thomas and his family. I am not unsympathetic to autism.” School board member Diana Gadus said she was not very familiar with the
case, but added Kapfhammer was not acting in an official capacity at the time. “This was not a board issue and he was not acting in an official capacity,” Gadus said. “The only time we as board members are acting in an official capacity is during board meetings. That is the law. This was a personal issue with Mr. Kapfhammer. I was not involved with the investigation and I was not there when the incident occurred.” Gadus said the board has recently adopted new policies and procedures when it comes to voluntary coaches in the district. Gadus added that Blachowski, as far as she knew, was still an honorary member of the baseball team. “This was an adult who went through our school system,” Gadus said. “He is challenged and he was with a coach who mentored him for many years.” School board member Jeff Ziviski disagreed that Kapfhammer was not acting in an official capacity. “All elected officials are held to a higher standard by the community and we do not get to say when we are acting in our elected capacity and when we are not,” Ziviski said. “As an elected official, you are always serving and representing that office and should always be acting in the best interest of that office.” Ziviski said the board does not have the authority over who is allowed to be on athletic teams. Ziviski said that responsibility is with the Athletic Director. He added the board did not discipline Isbell for not following the board’s policy because, that too, is the AD’s responsibility. “The new policy centers around the standards and hiring for all of our coaches, even the voluntary ones,” Ziviski said. “The new policy would not have affected this specific situation as it deals with an honorary position, not a coach. The thought process of the new policy is to strengthen the process we have in place with our coaching staff.” Ziviski said the district did not pay for Scott Schwab, Kapfhammer’s attorney. Kapfhammer paid for his own legal defense.

City to study Rte. 2 corridor Villas by Rigg Builders on Eagle’s Landing By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The City of Oregon will hold a stakeholders meeting for businesses along the State Route 2 (Navarre Avenue) corridor to get feedback on traffic issues. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 17, at 9 a.m. in council chambers, said City Administrator Mike Beazley. It will be the third meeting the city has held for the businesses since 2011. The most recent meeting was held last fall, said Beazley. “It’s an opportunity to bring the businesses together on the State Route 2 corridor to look at some of the traffic issues and improvements we’re considering,” said Beazley. “We had about 40 people at the last meeting. We usually have a mix of property owners, tenants, real estate developers, who come to the meetings. We got some good feedback.” City officials will focus on plans to improve safety near the Navarre Avenue and Wheeling Street intersection, one of the most dangerous in Oregon, according to Mayor Mike Seferian. “We’ve always made the claim that the biggest priority for us was Wheeling and Navarre, and just east of it,” said Seferian. “So we’d really like to let them know what we got going, and the likelihood that we can get moving on that right away.” The city has applied for a safety grant that would fund construction of a road off Wheeling Street that would improve access to businesses near the intersection at Navarre Avenue, such as Tim Horton’s, Arby’s, and in the Freeway Plaza where several shops, including a laundromat, are located. “It is a hazard for cars going east down Navarre Avenue that stop to turn left to get to Tim Horton’s, Arby’s, or the Freeway Plaza. It is the worst spot in the city,” said Seferian. “We’re getting a lot of accidents, sometimes daily, there. Many are injury accidents.” As a result, the city has a good chance of getting the grant, which would cover 90 percent of the project’s cost. The city would
be responsible for 10 percent. “We’re near the top of the list because the state knows that is a dangerous spot,” said Seferian. “It’s precisely what the grant was set up for, situations like what we have.” Other options to improve safety there included u-turns down Navarre Avenue so you could turn in and right out of those businesses. In the Michigan area, they do that a lot,” he said. The u-turns are also featured on South Reynolds Road in Toledo. “Businesses hate them,” said Seferian. “Especially repeat businesses, like carryouts or fast food places, because if someone misses it, they aren’t going back. They’re going to go to the next one. I think businesses will be happier and more supportive of that road coming off Wheeling and connecting to the businesses. Nobody really loses in all of that.” The city plans to purchase the Oriental Gardens Restaurant on Wheeling Street where the proposed road would begin, said Seferian. “The road would start dead center in the middle of the Oriental Gardens property,” he said. The city also hopes to acquire a driveway owned by a nearby apartment complex that runs between Tim Horton’s and Arby’s. The proposed road would connect to the driveway before it exits on Navarre as part of the project, he said. “We would excavate it, make it a proper street — not just a driveway. Gifting it to us would be a good deal for the owners because we would reconstruct the road. It needs repair right now. They are currently responsible for plowing it, maintaining it, repairing it — doing any work to it. If the owners gift it to us, they’re going to end up with a new, bigger, better road that will be maintained forever, at no cost to them,” he said. “We hope to actually block off some of the Arby’s and Tim Horton’s accesses to Navarre, and allow the traffic to go out from that road, which is back from the intersection,” Seferian added. “It will be a safer place to enter and exit. It cuts the risk of an accident enormously.”

It’s Tom Susor vs. Mike Seferian By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon Council President Tom Susor is running against Mayor Mike Seferian for the mayor’s seat in the November election. Susor, of Cedarwood Dr., is the only candidate challenging Seferian, both of whom submitted petitions to the Lucas County Board of Elections by the June 12 deadline to be on the ballot. Susor, a Democrat, was elected to council from 1983 to 1989, and again in 2011. Seferian said he is confident he will be re-elected, particularly since there have been no controversial issues during his first term as mayor. “I was elected at a time when the city had seen some of the hardest economic times ever,” said Seferian. “Our revenue was down $800,000, and we were going to get $1 million less from the state. But we still balanced the budget. Through hard economic times, we made our operation more efficient, and we were able to live within our means.” The city has also attracted new industry, he noted, including an $860 million power plant on N. Lallendorf Road that will generate electricity by burning natural gas. The Oregon Clean Energy project will create over 500 construction jobs. “We also have projects in the foundation stage waiting to happen,” said Seferian. “I look forward to a second term to see that these projects get completed.” Susor acknowledged Seferian’s accomplishments, but said it’s not enough. “Those are all very, very positive things,” he said. “But look around our community. Good enough is not good enough.
The general upkeep, the beautification, the things that make your community shine, has been lacking. Oregon is a great place to be. But our children are leaving because we have marched in place and we’re not moving forward. We need to have some vision, and invest in the future for our children and grandchildren so they want to stay here and raise their families. We need to beautify, and utilize our basic assets and tools for economic development. We’re doing good. But we need to do some things better and expand on other levels that set us apart from other cities.”

3239 Starr Ave. Challengers include: • Tim Zale, 526 Park Way West. • Kathleen Pollauf, 6720 Corduroy Rd. • Marvin Dabish, 514 Haley Dr. A charter amendment passed last year calls for council members to serve four year, staggered terms. The change replaced previous language in the city charter that called for all seven council seats to be up for re-election every two years. Three council members who receive the largest number of votes this fall will serve four year terms starting on Dec. 1, 2013. The remaining four on council will serve two-year terms until November, 2015, when they will need to seek re-election for a four-year term.

Your Voice on the Street: by Stephanie Szozda
The Press Poll
What is something that is on your bucket list?
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. Ann James Fostoria “To celebrate 50 years with my husband.”
Chris Ferrara Millbury “I want to go back to Daytona International Speedway and drive a race car at 200 mph around the track.”
Poor examples To the editor: On Sunday, June 9, I attended my very first outdoor commencement ceremony at Clay High School. My oldest son was graduating from high school and four members of his family were proudly seated in the stadium, along with many other graduates’ families and friends. The seniors had been given a letter at their practice informing them and their families about the privilege of participating in this ceremony, which dates back to medieval times. The letter also stated that it was traditionally a solemn ceremony, and that day’s ceremony should also be treated with the same dignity. I would like to thank the staff of Clay High School for allowing Andrew English to deliver such a heartfelt and inspiring invocation. I also enjoyed the speeches given my Miss Dorring, the valedictorian; Miss Le, the salutatorian and Miss Pelfrey. Their speeches told of their achievements, their struggles and their hopes for the future of their class. From the statistics that were read, this class has many who are aspiring to greater things. Let me say, though, that I hope the class of 2013 shows more respect in the years to come than their friends and families did who were attending in the stadium that day. Prior to handing out the diplomas, everyone was asked to refrain from cheering and clapping until after all the names of the class members had been read. I can understand wanting to cheer and clap for your child’s accomplishments. I was a very proud mom that day because my son had made it and it wasn’t easy for him. However, many chose that day to cheer loud and long, and even blow air horns after certain names were read. For my father
Diane Peatee Perrysburg “To retire from watching my grand kids. They’re great but I’d like to see them grown up.”
Letters
Carly LaBeau Fremont “To ride in a hot air balloon because it reminds me of the movie Up and I love that movie.”

sitting in the stands to watch his first grandson receive his diploma, the loud cheering from behind and the air horns made his hearing aids pierce his ears and made him uncomfortable. For my own son, he had to endure a long pause before his name could be read because of an air horn. The applause and cheering were more appropriate at the end for the entire group. Thank you, Clay High School, for guiding the class – your 83rd graduating class – to reach for their goals and strive to achieve them. I hope they also learn to be better examples than some of their friends and family who were there to support them at their high school graduation. Mary Lee Grieshaber Oregon
Lack of concern To the editor: How are residents of Oregon to endure the endless lack of concern for the safety of our children by the Oregon School system? The latest in the misguided attempt to pacify those who have children enrolled in the local schools is to spend $240,000 on sidewalks. Seriously? Of an estimated transportation cost not including driver wages of near $600,000, how are sidewalks the answer? Child safety is the issue they are not addressing, clearly. With the number of child abductions growing every day, do we need one of our loved ones to become one if the missing to realize this is flat wrong? Not to mention good old Northwestern Ohio weather for our children to endure.
Yes, most of us remember having to traverse through all sorts of conditions, nevertheless, regressing is not the answer. Is child safety truly being considered? Why are they not seeking additional bus transportation with this grant money? Somehow, it seems another ploy in wearing down voters to submit to additional levies. Have they exhausted all efforts in finding more visible, safer and cost-effective alternatives for the children of our community? Frank L. Reece Oregon
Support appreciated To the editor: Tiki Warriors Relay for Life Team from Genoa would like to say thanks to everyone who came out to support us during our fundraisers before and during the 2013 Relay for Life of Ottawa County.

Undeserved recognition To the editor: While wandering through the Ohio Turnpike Wyandot Service Plaza building, I discovered the building’s fairly new dedication plaque. Engraved on the plaque are several names of individuals that the state wished to recognize in their efforts to see through the construction of the new service plaza buildings. This seemed nice and appropriate until I discovered one name on the plaque that most sensible Ohioans wish to forget and most certainly not recognize – Thomas W. Noe. Call me unreasonable, but I believe that it’s just not right to “recognize” a convicted criminal who cost the people of Ohio an estimated $13 million. But that’s just my opinion. Clay Parlette Curtice Editor’s note: Former Gov. Bob Taft appointed Noe to the Ohio Turnpike Commission in 2003.

How much emotional baggage are you trying to carry? You wouldn’t be able to lift a 55 gallon drum filled with water. Although you could easily pick up a cleaning bucket filled with water, you wouldn’t want to hold it for a long time. If you tried, it would feel as if it were getting heavier rather quickly. Holding a cup filled with water is a cinch. Anyone can do it. But how long can you hold it for? The longer it’s held, the heavier it seems. At some point in time, you would need to put it down. Just as a seemingly light object becomes heavier the longer it’s held, so do the burdens you carry around with you on a constant basis. An issue that initially appears minor grows in significance the longer you hold onto it. The weight increases steadily as you clutch onto numerous concerns. You become bogged down even faster with the cumulative mass of your collected burdens. Your stress level rises while your energy and enthusiasm drops. Because the progression is gradual, it’s not readily noticeable until it starts to become overwhelming. Every time you pick up a minor burden it appears to be no big deal. It gets added to your load without much thought. Since the mental weight increases gradually, you adjust to it and incrementally adjust to the growing load. Each issue alone may be relatively insignificant. Even though you may not be consciously aware of its presence, you are still affected subconsciously. Since the weight you are carrying rises so gradually, you accept the increasing burden as normal and tolerable. As such, you don’t readily perceive the incremental additions to your stress level.
Dare to Live
by Bryan Golden Although you may feel anxious, more irritable, less energetic, and less patient, there is no one obvious culprit you can identify. This fact further compounds your frustration. Over time, you forget exactly why you are carrying many of the burdens. The details fade, leaving behind only emotions or bad feelings. You become weighed down by accumulated mental debris that is no longer identifiable. Worrying makes things worse. It intensifies whatever you are carrying. Worry drains your energy without accomplishing a thing. Worry doesn’t help you in any way. There is not one good reason to accumulate mental issues. It’s a bad habit that needs to be corrected as soon as possible. In order to accomplish this, you must change your approach. Let’s consider an alternative scenario. Each time you pick up a small burden you let it go rather than carrying it. It’s that simple. With this approach your burden never grows. This works because there’s no point dragging problems around with you. Here’s how you deal with new issues. For each, ask yourself the following questions: Does this really matter? If not, let it go. Is this worth my energy? If not, let it go. Do I have any control over the issue? If not, let it go. If yes, take the appropriate action and then let it go.
Also, stop worrying. It’s OK to be concerned and take action when and where appropriate. When you let your burdens drop, it’s easier to release the accompanying worries as well. Constant worrying is deleterious to your mental and physical wellbeing. Furthermore, it causes you to hang onto those very things you should be letting go of. Stay vigilant. Be aware of what you are
picking up. It’s too easy to revert back to your old pattern. As you empty your mental load you’ll feel lighter. You will quickly realize how pointless it is to pick things up in the first place. NOW AVAILABLE: E-mail Bryan at bryan@columnist.com or write him c/o this paper. © 2013 Bryan Golden

Four six packs to consider when you consider fatherhood
Six Pack 1 1) Build a strong nest: Eat, play, work and vacation together. Make family the priority over career. Make amends with family members who’ve wronged you to stabilize the extended family. Don’t let any beer swilling, macho buddy or sweettalking home-wrecker misguide you. Be a man. 2) Be there: Quality time is no substitute for quantity of time. That means less time at work, less time at the bar and less time with the buds. Be there to observe, ask and answer questions, rough-house, advise, hug, yes--hug, and, above all, to let them know they are important to you. 3) Get physical: Let your children know, by example, you expect them to be active. How good you are is irrelevant. Just do it. Run with them. Lift with them. If all you can do is walk, walk with them. Exercise is critical to healthy living and it fights depression. Sport teaches discipline, teamwork, leadership and how to win and lose. 4) Foster independence: Give children opportunities to make decisions. Advise them of the pros and cons, but if they make a bad decision, let them suffer the consequences. For example, son dings car, son pays. When they leave the nest, you won’t be there to protect them. But, while they live with you, you can help them develop good decision making skills and support them while they make a bad decision. 5) Help them follow their bliss: Many young people choose a job or career for superficial reasons. Encourage your children to dream. Uncommon satisfaction comes from the uncommon effort it takes to follow a career path that engages both mind and heart. 6) Encourage risk-taking: A father’s love is unlike a mother’s. A mother loves a child unconditionally. A father gives and withholds affection depending on the child’s actions. This is ingrained in us as a species. Consequently, a child sometimes refuses to take risks for fear of failing and disappointing Dad. Fathers need to encourage risk-taking and celebrate failures as necessary steps to success. Six Pack 2 1) Be money smart: Financial strain is the number one reason families split, but not enough attention is given to managing debt and creating a budget. If you don’t know how to budget, find someone who does and then teach your children. 2) Read: One of the best gifts you can give your children is a love of reading. Read auto manuals, video game handbooks, hiphop magazines. It doesn’t matter. The important thing is to show your children that reading, combined with curiosity, is an indispensable tool for a successful life. 3) Hug a tree: The joys of silence and solitude are found in the woods. Children are bombarded with noise, talk and music. They are seldom alone in the modern world where everything is organized. The woods will let them hear their inner voice and help them become comfortable with being alone. Take them both during the day and at night. They will learn to quiet their

Everything changes for a man the moment he holds his first-born child. Not only does the state mandate an 18-year financial commitment, but for most fathers there is an unspoken commitment to build a better man than the one he sees in the mirror. Over the years, I’ve shared my take on fatherhood with you in four columns of six tips each. I’ve called each of these a six pack. At the request of a reader, here’s a case of those tips. I can’t say I know more about fatherhood than the next guy, so take what you value and ignore the rest. As far as my qualifications, all I can say is all three of my children have jobs, use designated drivers and occasionally take their parental units to a special event. What follows is an abbreviated version of those six packs.
fear of both the unknown and the dark. 4) Establish traditions: In a changing world, children value traditions more than we think. Our traditions include Christmas Eve candlelight service, a trip to Oak Openings on Christmas morning and family dinner at the restaurant of their choice for their birthday. Start your traditions early. They will create memories all of you will cherish. 5) Honor your father: Treat your father like you want to be treated by your children, not by how he treats you. Your children are watching and learning. Most men naturally disagree with and distance themselves from their fathers on their way to becoming their own men. For you, that’s all in the past now. Let it go. It’s more important for you to be a father to your children than a son to your father. Forgive the old man and even if you don’t like him, your children are learning how to treat you by how they see you treat him. 6) Do housework: Few families can make it today without two incomes. That means if she’s working out of the home, you need to work in it. There is no such thing as women’s work. It’s all work. Do your share and show your kids your wife is worthy of
the respect of an equal. Don’t preach, lead by example. Six Pack 3 1) Family first: Family can find you when you’re lost; support you when you’re falling and kick you in the ass when you need it. Do not alienate your strongest allies with rashness, stubbornness or vindictiveness. Cultivate these binds. Your children will benefit. They may even visit you when they leave the nest. 2) Mean what you say: Words have meaning. They hurt. They motivate. They will be remembered. What you say in anger, or in jest, or just to fill the silence may have more meaning than what you intend. You will not know the importance of words you have long-since forgotten until your child parrots them back in adulthood. 3) Keep cool under pressure: You will face difficult times when the answer you seek is not even within your peripheral vision. But, your child will be watching you and he or she will learn how to handle stress by how you handle it. Take a deep breath and make your child proud of you and how you handle adversity. 4) Do it with enthusiasm: Bruce Springsteen sings in Badlands, “It ain’t no sin to be glad you’re alive.� Be enthusiastic about your work, your hobbies, your relationships. That dark hole of despair can suck in everyone who comes near it. Don’t bring your children down. Success comes more to those with a positive outlook than to those afraid of obstacles. 5) Win with grace, lose with grace: The game is the thing. If you win, don’t rub it in, don’t beat your chest. If you lose, don’t make excuses, don’t throw a tantrum. If your children learn this lesson in play, in work and in relationships, they will always have teams to play on, employers who will hire them and friends who will support them. 6) Pursue excellence, settle for good enough: It is an innate human trait to pursue excellence, but there are deadlines and commitments that will sap you of your time. Pursue excellence in the things that matter, settle for good enough in the things that matter less and invest the time you save into your kids. Six Pack 4 (For adult children) 1) Just don’t do it: As much as you’re tempted, don’t give unsolicited advice. If
Research has shown that fathers can have a dramatic impact on society by teaching their children responsibility, discipline, independence, and a quiver of other skills and attitudes that can target success. Unfortunately, fatherhood does not require a license, a degree, or any training. And, there’s no penalty for doing it poorly. Do the right thing. Comment at zoz@presspublications. com

Real estate goes high-tech RE/MAX Preferred Associates last week introduced its new state-of-the-art transaction network, “dotLoop,” designed to eliminate paper and speed real estate transactions among buyers, sellers, agents, appraisers and banks—regardless of location, according to a company spokesperson. Broker/owners John Mangas and Kathy Kuyoth hosted associates, guests and media in the roll out of this new technology. The system allows clients to purchase local property with all of the modifications that accompany a real estate transaction without faxing or over-nighting documents – all from a mobile device. All of the information from the first step to completion is available through the online dotLoop transaction network. The Toledo Board of Realtors has endorsed this platform as the standard for electronic real estate documents in this area. A standard platform for the market enables all realtors to work together efficiently and economically.

Project Lifesaver program gaining momentum in Ottawa
“
By Melissa Burden Special to The Press news@presspublications.com
Search team members are trained on how to approach a person with Alzheimer’s disease...
“
Project Lifesaver in Ottawa County is growing in use throughout the county. The program has helped locate individuals who may not be able to find their own way home. According to Carolyne Gilchrist, Project Lifesaver coordinator, individuals and caregivers in the county have already benefited from the program. “We had one gentleman last August who was recovered within 37 minutes,” Gilchrist said. “We had just signed him up for the program. When we were leaving his house, his wife said they would probably never use the program. Later that week, he was a missing person.” Ottawa County has offered Project Lifesaver since August of 2005. The county, at that time, was the first in Northwest Ohio to become involved in the now national program. Gilchrist’s own granddaughter Amber, was the first person in the county to receive the transmitter. “I found out about the program when my granddaughter, Amber, who is autistic, became a missing person in Medina County,” Gilchrist said. “That was nine years ago and she is still wearing the transmitter.” Project Lifesaver uses a passive ID wristband designed to help locate a person with dementia or developmental disabilities including autism. The ID wristband includes a one-ounce battery-operated radio wrist transmitter that emits an automatic tracking signal every second, 24 hours a day. The signal can be tracked over several miles on the ground by members of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office or from the air by helicopter from Mercy St. Vincent Medi-
Riverview Industries Imagine Art artists Marissa N., Jacob B. and Raysha W. present a banner they created for Project Lifesaver. cal Center, UTMC and St. Rita’s Life Flight/ Mobile Life. Each wrist band has a unique radio frequency, Gilchrist said. The frequency enables the Project Lifesaver search team to positively locate and identify a person who has wandered away from home or a care facility using a specially designed radio receiver. “Search team members are trained on how to approach a person with Alzheimer’s disease or a developmental disability,” Gilchrist said. “They are trained on how to gain trust with the person so they do not back away or run from them.”
Using the Project Lifesaver technology, search teams have reduced the time it takes to locate a missing person from hours or even days to only minutes. The average time to find someone is 30 minutes, Gilchrist said. Ottawa County Project Lifesaver is a non-profit program sponsored by the Port Clinton Lions Club, the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office, and other agencies as well as by private donations, Gilchrist said. The program received a generous and anonymous individual donation as well as a $2,000 donation from the Oak Harbor Rotary Club and the Oak Harbor Lions Club
donated $2,000 to be used for more transmitters. The Ottawa County Board of Mental Disabilities has also provided Gilchrist with an office and has donated flyers and other materials to the program. The program currently has15 transmitters in use, with 12 children and three adults enrolled in the program. “The transmitter is free, but we do ask for a $10 monthly donation for the battery,” she said. “If someone is unable to afford that, they will still get a transmitter. We will not turn someone away.” The batteries are changed monthly, Gilchrist said. Ottawa County Sheriff’s Deputy Bud Chasteen visits the homes monthly to change the battery and to check on the participants and their caregivers. There is no contract to sign and individuals can try the program for a month to see if they like it. Those who decide to not use the program can return the transmitter with no questions asked, Gilchrist said. To learn more about Project Lifesaver, call Carolyne Gilchrist at 419-898-3679.

AARP getting started – list of eight rules for new caregivers From AARP • Start with a candid conversation. Talk with your parents about how you will be helping them to meet their needs. Unless they are severely incapacitated, they should continue to make their own decisions and remain a central part of all discussions about their care. Encourage them to articulate their concerns: Most likely, your parents are worried about becoming a burden and losing control of their lives. Have an open conversation about what role your parents want you to play. Establish limits so they don’t form unrealistic expectations. • Set your priorities. Make a list of what needs to get done and how you plan to do it. An organized approach puts you in control, reduces stress and ensures that your parents get the assistance they need. Be sure to cre-
ate backup plans, and ask others to serve as reinforcements if necessary. Write down your plans and schedules, and give a copy to all involved family members. • Build a support network. In most families, one person assumes the role of primary caregiver. But that doesn’t let others off the hook. Enlist the help of your siblings, of course, but also consider that cousins, nieces and nephews may be eager to help. Don’t forget to include your friends, distant relatives, neighbors and acquaintances, such as members of your parents’ civic or religious groups. Not all of these folks will volunteer to help, but many will get involved if you ask. Some, in fact, may feel hurt or left out if you don’t seek their assistance. • Don’t be afraid to delegate. Ask a friend to pick up groceries or get books from the library, a neighbor’s child to adopt your parent as a grandparent, or a local teenager

to help with yard work for a manageable fee. • Offer alternatives. With family members, don’t accept excuses for not helping without offering alternatives. A sibling who lives far away, for example, can help with paying bills, contacting doctors’ offices or seeking support from local agencies. Siblings who have young children can cook meals or bring kids along for visits and outings. • Hold family meetings. Schedule them regularly, and bring in distant family by phone. Choose a neutral party to moderate if necessary. Draw up a clear agenda for each meeting, and agree on rules of conduct — for instance, don’t interrupt, stick to time limits, avoid argument and focus the discussion on how to care for your parents. If meetings tend to be contentious,
consider hiring a geriatric care manager to run the meeting. • Involve your children. When you have parents and children who need your time and attention, you may feel pulled from both sides. Be honest with your children about the situation, and listen to their concerns. Encourage their questions, and answer them thoroughly. Carve out time for fun activities, and request your children’s help. • Talk to your spouse. Have a discussion with your partner about your caregiving responsibilities. What role do you expect him or her to play? Suggest specific ways your spouse can help, and show appreciation for his or her efforts. Recognize that your responsibilities affect your spouse, and encourage him or her to talk about any frustrations. Your relationship is a priority — keep it that way.

Family caregiving can be a man’s responsibility too

Seventy-nine year old Frank Plewa has been caring for his wife Jane Ann for the last seven years, ever since she had a stroke that left her paralyzed on the right side. Jane needs help to get out of bed, to get into her wheelchair, with her personal hygiene – everything in her daily living. She recognizes Frank, but he says, “Her mind wanders, she talks about a lot of stuff that doesn’t make sense.� He says she doesn’t think she’s living at home. “She thinks I’ve put her someplace,� he adds. Jane had the stroke in the couple’s 50th year of marriage, when Frank had just retired from working 50 years at Jeep. “We used to play cards a lot, rotate to people’s houses – all that is gone,� he said. “You think you’re in your Golden Years. It’s not going to happen to me.� Frank knows he is not the only male who is caring for a loved one at home, but, he
You think you’re in your Golden Years. It’s not going to happen to me. Frank Plewa acknowledges that caring for others is something that many men – at least men who are older adults today – did not do in the family previously. Back in the day, the men worked outside the home and the women were the mainstays of the home. Caregiving to Frank means that he is in charge of cooking, laundry, grocery shopping, helping Jane with dressing and personal hygiene – everything.
“Men aren’t used to doing these things,� he said. But he does it and he finds comfort in knowing that Jane is well cared for and with him. Frank does have an aide that comes in daily for about two hours every morning and four hours on Sunday morning. The Sunday-morning respite gives Frank time to attend church and to go grocery shopping. Frank has a great sense of humor and
doesn’t complain about the situation; but he does realize that he and many other caregivers have a tiring, constant job that keeps them tied to their homes. Sometimes he will bring Jane outside, but he says that after about 20 minutes she wants to go back inside. Frank attends the Area Office on Aging’s Caregiver Support meetings held the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. at the Mott Branch Library. He says the meetings have given him a lot of knowledge about issues involved in caregiving. Speakers such as lawyers, representatives from organizations such as the Red Cross and others have been very helpful to him, he said, adding, “You sit with people who are in the same situation – they tell you their problems, you tell them yours; you learn from that.� For more information contact the Area Office on Aging at 419-382-0624.
Check on neighbors during summer heat, storm season With summer just a few days away, most of us are looking forward to the return of hot and sunny days. But with summer months come heat, humidity and storms The Ohio Department of Aging urges everyone, especially elders and their caregivers, to plan ahead and be prepared. Resources to help families and individuals create an emergency plan and build a kit of essentials can be found at www. ready.ohio.gov. Learn about severe weather threats by visiting www.weathersafety. ohio.gov. “As severe conditions approach and after they have passed, please check on your friends, family and neighbors in your community to ensure they have power, food, water, medicines and necessary supplies to stay safe and healthy until things return to normal,� said Bonnie Kantor-Burman, director of the Ohio Department of Aging. “Also, staying cool will be a big concern, as older adults can be more susceptible to heat-related illnesses.�
Older adults, people with disabilities and their families can call 1-866-243-5678 to be connected to their local area agency on aging’s resources and programs that can provide help in their communities. Tips for checking on your neighbors during and after severe weather include: Communicate effectively • Always treat adults as adults. If someone isn’t making sense, don’t assume it is dementia. Dehydration, stress, and fatigue have similar symptoms. • Use a natural tone of voice and conversational style of communication. Be calm and reassuring, speak slowly and distinctly, and make eye contact. Use positive language. • Ask open-ended questions. Instead of, “Are you staying warm/cool?â€? ask, “What are you doing to stay warm/cool today?â€? “Where will you go if the power does not come back on tomorrow?â€? • Don’t ask “testingâ€? or “challengingâ€?
questions. Instead of “Do you know your name?â€? ask, “What would you like me to call you?â€? Instead of “Do you know where you are?â€? say “I’m glad that I came to visit you at your home today.â€? • Don’t correct an adult who appears to be confused. For example, if the person calls you by someone else’s name, say “I haven’t seen ‘Joe’ lately but my name is ... and I’ll stay with you until your family comes by,â€? or “I’ll call someone so ‘Joe’ will know where you are.â€? Avoid arguing, but validate feelings. Do a risk assessment • While visiting, observe his or her surroundings and ask questions that will help you determine if this person is healthy and safe, or if he or she may need some assistance. • Does the person depend on oxygen? • Does he or she need help walking? • Does he or she need help getting to the bathroom?
• Does he or she have skin that is flushed or grey-ish? (If so, he or she may require medical attention.) • Also check if individuals have what they will need for the next several days, including water, non-perishable food, temperature control and medications. Refrigerated food should be thrown out after two hours without electricity. Also, some medications may need to be refrigerated or stored on ice to remain safe and effective. Make sure they can get help Make sure the person is able to call for help if he or she needs it. Don’t assume the person’s phone is working: check the connection and battery charge. Some may not realize that cordless phones need electricity to work and/or charge. Instead of asking, “Do you have someone to call if you need help?â€? asking, “Show me how you would call your daughter if you need her to come help,â€? will be more effective.

On February 13, 2013 I had respiratory failure and spent 3 weeks at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center. The physicians at St Vincent's needed to insert a trach while I was in the hospital, and a few days later, I was discharged to Orchard Villa for rehabilitation and recovery. I spent 3 weeks at Orchard Villa for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and respiratory therapy. On April 8, the trach was removed and I was able to return home independently a few days later.

Those interested are invited to enjoy complimentary food, register their team, pick up their team captain packets and learn more about Alzheimer’s disease and how to become more involved. Door prizes will be offered. A short program will take place around 6 p.m. There is no cost to attend. RSVP to nwohiowalk@alz.org or call 1-800-2723900. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is slated for Oct. 20 at the Lucas County Recreation Center in Maumee. Events and registration/ check-in will begin at 12:30 p.m. with the Walk stepping off at 2:30 p.m. Register a team or find more information by visiting www.alz.org/nwohio/walk or contacting Toni Schindler at 1-800-272-3900. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is an annual event that raises awareness and funds to support local programs and services for people with Alzheimer’s disease, their families and caregivers.
Providing care with confidence More and more people are caring for their sick, frail or debilitated loved ones at home. Because many feel ill-prepared to meet the challenges of providing hands-on care, Hospice of Northwest Ohio is offering a two-hour workshop to teach family caregivers the basics. The program is being offered several times a month and is free to anyone in the community. Through discussion and interactive demonstrations conducted in the Hospice of Northwest Ohio skills lab, family caregivers will learn tips to enhance the way they provide care, including bathing, oral care, positioning, back rubs, transfer techniques, making an occupied bed, ambulation, feeding, incontinence care, hand hygiene, skin care, nail care and foot care. Workshops are open to anyone in the community and will be held several times a month, based on need. To allow active participation, class size is limited to six and pre-registration is required. Call Sandy Garrison at 419-661-4001 to find out when and where the next class is being offered, for more information or to register.
Caregiver Support Program Do you pick up groceries or medications for an aging parent or loved one? Do you take him or her to doctor appointments? If you provide assistance like this to someone who needs help with their daily living, then you are a caregiver. The Area Office on Aging’s Caregiver Support Program provides information and support that can give family members a temporary break from the help they provide to their aging loved one. This temporary break can come in the form of the various services offered at little or no cost – transporting a senior to medical appointments; finding adult day care services or having a trained senior volunteer visit with an aging loved one for a few hours each week. No one is denied services for an inability to pay. For more information, call 419382-0624 or visit www.areaofficeonaging. com.
Denise Niese, executive director of the Wood County Committee on Aging, received the Star Award from National Association of Nutrition and Aging Services Programs (NANASP) at the organization’s annual conference held recently in San Diego. For more than two decades, NANASP has recognized individuals for their outstanding contributions to older Americans. The award acknowledges outstanding achievements by NANASP members and individuals who help the association further its vision to reshape the future of nutrition and healthy aging and mission to strengthen through advocacy and education those who help older Americans. Early in Niese’s career with WCCOA, it was noted that the current kitchen was at capacity. With baby boomers aging and a higher projected need for senior centers and home-delivered meals throughout Wood County, Niese jumped on board to help secure funding to build a new standalone production kitchen. The kitchen, which opened in January 2007, has prepared more than one million nutritious meals for older adults who may not have been able to receive these services otherwise. A few years later, she saw a need for Saturday meals. Niese began giving up her Saturdays once a month to serve old-

Two locations are available – at 131 N. Wheeling St., Suite 2, Toledo and at the Alzheimer’s Association chapter office at 2500 N. Reynolds Rd., Toledo. Adult Day Center services provided by the Alzheimer’s Association are offered on a sliding fee scale.

Nutrition service providers play a vital role in improving the lives of older Americans daily through nutrition sites, such as WCCOA’s seven senior centers and it daily home delivered meals; which might be the only social contact the senior has during the day. As executive director of WCCOA, Niese is an advocate for older adults, supporter of colleagues, and mentor to co-workers. She is a board member of the Ohio Association of Senior Centers (OASC) and serves on the National Institute of Senior Centers’ (NISC) Accreditation Review Board. As the nomination form noted, not a day goes by that Niese isn’t living the words of the agency’s mission statement – “to provide older adults with services and programs which empower them to remain independent and improve the quality of their lives.” According to NANASP, nutrition service providers play a vital role in improving the lives of older Americans daily – whether it is through nutrition sites, such as exercise classes, health screenings, podiatry care, social worker assistance, tax services, and/or social activities.

Cards, Meinzer get job done in coach’s second year If you want to see this year’s Alan Miller Jeweler’s All-Press Baseball Team play as a unit, check out the Pemberville American Legion Post 183 team this summer. There you will find Co-Coach of the Year and Player of the Year, Dave Russell and son Nick Russell from Northwood, playing their part in helping veteran coach Don “Chopper” Schmeltz go up against other Ohio and Michigan Legion teams. You’ll also find three other first team picks, Eastwood infielder Ryan Mang, Waite first baseman/pitcher Joshua Murphy, and Eastwood catcher Zach Coffield. You’ll also find second team picks Brent Hayward, a Gibsonburg freshman outfielder/pitcher, Genoa catcher Nick Wolfe, and Northwood first baseman John Segura, plus honorable mention selection Jake Davenport from Northwood. Plus you’ll find three 2012 grads on the 19-and-under team from last year’s All-Press Team, including Clay pitcher J.J. Miller, Lake outfielder/pitcher Josh Tantari, and Lake infielder Ryan Kohlhofer. You can throw in Northwood senior outfielder/ pitcher Brandon Mahoney, another 2012 All-Press pick. Any Post 183 players not on the AllPress team are from outside the area — Elmwood, North Baltimore, and Bowling Green — and are all-league material that would be considered had they lived here. Nearly all the All-Press picks play on one Legion team or another, as many Woodmore, Gibsonburg, and Oak Harbor players play for the Fremont or Port Clinton team, Cardinal Stritch Catholic seniors Cody Kuch and Robbie Bekier are playing for the Toledo Hawks Legion team, and Eastwood junior Grant Peters pitched for Findlay Post 3 last year. As a group last week, the Post 183 contingent of eastern Maumee Bay baseball players routed the Maumee Post 320 team, comprised mostly of Northern Lakes League players with some Toledo City League and Three Rivers Athletic Conference talent thrown in, 13-1 last week. Three Pemberville pitchers, including Tantari, held Maumee to two hits through nine innings playing metal bat baseball. There is another — Stritch junior Austin Pratt is playing for Pemberville even though he had to sit out the spring prep baseball season because of eligibility transfer rules. Pratt would have been a likely candidate for the All-Press Team. Chopper Schmeltz, who once played Pemberville Legion ball with now Detroit Tigers skipper Jim Leyland, picked Pratt to play for Post 183, and that speaks for itself. Stritch coach Craig Meinzer adds that Pratt should be a major asset to his team next year plus to the Cardinals’ basketball team. However, it was those who did play for Stritch this spring that made some noise and are being recognized for it. In his second year at the helm, Meinzer’s team won a Toledo Area Athletic Conference co-championship. It is the first TAAC baseball championship at Stritch since 2003 and first for any boys sport since the football team won the league title in 2006. Craig Meinzer, who was assisted by Kenny Heban, Colin Meinzer, Thom Ziems, and Clayton Stidham, saw his team go 10-2 to share the trophy with perennial league

Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Player of the Year Nick Russell, a Northwood senior heading to Tiffin University. (Press photo by Don Thompson/Facebook.com/dnrsport) power Ottawa Hills. “After our first year together, the players realize we can play with every team in the league,” Meinzer said before the season began, hinting at what was to come. The TAAC honored Meinzer and his staff with Coach of the Year honors and the coach will earn Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press COY honors as well. Stritch was the only local prep baseball team to win a league championship this season. However, Genoa coach Ron Rightnowar and Northwood coach Dave Russell led their teams to a regional final appearance, one game away from the state final four, so they will share the COY honor.
Genoa (20-10) defeated Evergreen, 5-4, to win a Defiance-hosted Division III district tournament and advance to regional play at Elida. The Comets downed Lima Central Catholic (19-13), 8-3, but lost to eventual state runner-up and No. 8 ranked Bloom-Carroll (26-5), 8-1, in the regional final. Northwood (18-11) defeated its league rival, Ottawa Hills, 8-6, in the Findlay DIV district final. It was the sixth consecutive season in which the Rangers and Green Bears have faced one another in the postseason. The Rangers advanced to take on Midwest Athletic Conference powerhouse
Delphos St. John’s (11-15) in the regional opener. The Rangers took down the Blue Jays, 4-3, but lost to No. 16 Tinora (19-8), 13-5, in the championship at Patrick Henry High School. Two seniors, Northwood shortstop Nick Russell and Clay pitcher Jordan Grosjean, were honored with individual top honors by their respective leagues. Grosjean is the Three Rivers Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Year and Nick Russell is the TAAC Player of the Year. Russell excelled at the plate, batting .479 (46-for-96) with six home runs, 40 runs, 11 stolen bases, and 38 RBIs.

Woodville’s Daniel Roepke takes fifth career victory By Brian Liskai Special to The Press Liskai2x@roadrunner.com The Bob’s Machine Shop/BMS Engines Dirt Truck feature at Attica Raceway Park last week was a thriller, with Brian Sorg and Dustin Keegan racing side by side nearly the entire 15 laps. But, it was 11th place starter and Woodville resident Daniel Roepke who charged through the pack and joined the top two in a three truck shoot out the last four laps. Roepke would blast into the lead on the white flag lap and held off Keegan and Sorg for his second win of the season at Attica. It was Roepke’s fifth career victory
at the track. “The harder I drove this thing the better it got. We had engine problems all night and it still wasn’t right, but it got us to the horse track (victory lane) and that’s all that matters,” said Roepke beside his Perkin’s Tree Service/ Johnny’s Electric/Vision Quest/Village Inn backed No. 88. Curt Inks and
Daniel Roepke
Brian Sorg paced the field for the 15-lap dirt truck main with Sorg grabbing the lead over Inks, Dustin Keegan, Eric Devanna and Brian Arnold. Keegan would take second on lap two, bringing Devanna to third and Arnold into fourth. The caution would fly on lap three for a stalled Andy Keegan. On the restart, Keegan immediately drove under Sorg as they raced side by side for the lead with Arnold, Devanna, Willie Keegan, Tony Siferd and Roepke in pursuit. Keegan would grab the lead on lap five with Sorg continuing to race to his inside with Arnold racing on their rear bumpers. The top three would continue to put on a great show until the caution flew on lap 9 for Todd Keegan who got hung up in turn four.
When the green came back out Keegan, Sorg and Arnold continued to wage their terrific battle with Roepke closing. Roepke would take third on lap 11 and he would then join the tremendous race for the lead. Keegan, Sorg and Roepke would literally race lap after lap within inches of one another as Roepke took second on lap 13 and then drove into the lead as the white flag flew. Roepke would hold off Keegan and Sorg on the final lap for the win with Willie Keegan and Brian Arnold rounding out the top five. Last Saturday, Fremont Speedway and Crown Battery honored the memory of the late Alex Burkett with an Australian Pursuit race.

After illness, Kuns goes from playing to coaching Drew Kuns had big plans for his redshirt junior year on the Bowling Green State University baseball team this spring. Kuns, a 2009 Clay graduate and the City League Player of the Year and a first-team All-Ohio selection as a senior, wanted to have a big year for coach Danny Schmitz’s Falcons. In the fall of 2012, however, Kuns, 22, contracted food poisoning after, he says, eating a chicken sandwich from a local fastfood chain. “I got rid of that in about three days,” Kuns said. “I was fine for a day and I tried to continue my regular routine, and I couldn’t do it. I got dizzy and passed out. (BG) wanted me to try to play and I tried to play through it at the start of last spring (2012). I just couldn’t push my body anymore. I told them I just can’t do it, and they (coaching staff) agreed. They wanted to see if I could get back to playing shape last summer, going into this year.” Kuns said he was originally diagnosed with vasovagal syncope, the symptoms of which include loss of consciousness, lightheadedness, nausea, ringing in the ears, and an uncomfortable feeling in the heart. “It makes your heart race when you do stuff, and it won’t slow down,” Kuns said of his condition. “My heart was racing too much. When I stopped doing something, it slowed down too much. That’s how they figured it was POTS and not that (vasovagal syncope).” Symptoms of POTS, or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, include fatigue, dizziness, abdominal discomfort, and headaches. Ironically, Schmitz’s son, BG assistant coach Spencer Schmitz, also has POTS. “I’ve never heard of POTS until I got

I wasn’t going to try to play through it and make my body worse. It got to the point that I couldn’t play through my condition.

Drew Kuns
it,” Kuns said. “They thought it was another syndrome (vasovagal syncope) for the first six months. They gave me medication for it and it (dizzyness) wasn’t getting better at all. I went to a specialist and they said, ‘We’re going to treat you for POTS.’ It’s been gradually getting better and better. I think we’re on the right track.” Kuns said he realized just two weeks prior to BG’s fall workouts that he was in no condition to play. “I couldn’t overcome that syndrome that fast,” he said, “and I wasn’t going to try to play through it and make my body worse. It got to the point that I couldn’t play through my condition.” Kuns had already taken a redshirt year in 2011 when, after appearing in eight games, he sat out the rest of the season with a torn muscle and three pulled tendons in his ankle. He will be a senior academically
at BGSU in 2013-14 and will graduate with a degree in criminal justice. Instead of trying to get another medical redshirt year for the 2013 spring baseball season, he chose to become an assistant coach with the Falcons instead. “With my medical condition, I decided to go out with my senior class,” Kuns said. “It would have taken too long to get back into playing shape and have my body where it needs to be with my syndrome. They offered me to be a player-coach this year and I accepted it.” Kuns, who made first-team All-CL in football, basketball and baseball his senior year at Clay, said it was “definitely hard” to give up his college baseball career. “I’ve played highly competitive baseball now for 14 years of my life,” he said. “Once I got past not playing, I realized that many other doors opened up for me and
that’s the new path I have to take.” Kuns, a first baseman and left fielder, helped coach the Falcons’ infielders and was involved as a hitting coach and bullpen coach. “I loved it,” Kuns said. “To go to the games the first part of the season was tough, knowing I wasn’t going to play. Once I got over that, I loved it. I was still a part of the game and still a part of the team. The love of the game will never go away.” BG struggled during the regular season, going 24-29, but somehow the Falcons ended up winning the Mid-American Conference tournament to get an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. It was the program’s first MAC title and NCAA tournament appearance since 1999. “We got hot at the right time,” Kuns said. “We carried big momentum in. We beat Buffalo on a walk-off double in the last game of the regular season to get us in (the MAC tournament). That also took away their MAC championship. It felt great.” The Falcons traveled to Louisville to play the host Cardinals (46-12) in the first round of the NCAA tourney. BG lost, 8-3, and then lost to Oklahoma State, 7-3, and was eliminated from the tournament. “That was one of the best experiences of my life,” Kuns said. “In Division I baseball, it’s an honor to be the MAC champs in the tournament and go to regionals to play against some of the best kids in the nation. With the team we had, we had a chance to beat those guys. But, baseball’s a weird game and that’s how it all turned out.” Kuns said he hopes to be on BGSU’s coaching staff again next season. “They have not figured out what they’re going to do with me yet,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to be a baseball coach, but I never knew if I would have that opportunity. Now that my medical reasons came up and I was able to be a coach, it’s just a great fit and I would love to pursue this.”
Oregon, Genoa girls help soccer team to state runner-up finish By Press Staff Writer sports@presspublications.com The Metro FC Toledo U-11 Courage girls soccer team, consisting of 12 girls from Toledo and surrounding areas, is the Ohio North State Cup runner-up. Four local girls contributed to their success, including Marissa Young from the Genoa area and Kennedy Slovak, Payton Rigg, and Jenna Vislay, whom all reside in Oregon. Josh Weinberg is the director of Metro FC Toledo, as well as the coach. These girls play at the elite level, having played in the MYSL, Wixom, the Michigan indoor state league (U-12) and the girls even played in the NWYOSL boys U-11 Division 1 this past spring. “Mr. Weinberg is always looking to challenge his girls, but not even he himself, could have foreseen the Metro Courage girls finishing the season undefeated with a 10-0 record against Division 1 boys,” stated a press release. The Metro team scored 48 goals while only allowing five goals against the boys, which included teams from Pacesetter, Sylvania United, ESSL Arsenal and two teams from Findlay. The core of this girls’ team has been playing together for about two-and-a-half years and only has 14 losses in 84 games

Metro Courage defeated Internationals Red in the semifinal 2-1, extending their winning streak to 22 games. Then, Metro Courage lost in the 2013 Ohio North State Cup championship game, 2-1, to Cleveland FC Royal in what was described as “a hard fought, closely contested game,” bringing home second place awards. Filling out the Metro Courage roster are Aubrie Zeunen, Hannah Miller, Alyssa Stark, Sophie Clody, Julia Webb, Lily Turski, Grace Turski, and Emilie Gardner. Metro FC Toledo is nearing its third season, playing its home games at The Shops at Fallen Timbers. Weinberg can be reached at 567-277-2336.

The Press Box Clay’s Breeden third, Gyurke sixth at D-I state By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Clay senior Nicole Breeden finished third in the discus at the Division I state meet with a top throw of 141 feet, one inch. The University of Cincinnati-bound Breeden trailed the champion, Olentangy Orange senior Katelyn Daniels (161-7) and Tri-Valley sophomore Kaylee Antill (1484). The Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium all-time, all-division record is still held by Erin Pendleton of Woodmore, who tossed 168-10 in 2008. Clay junior Erin Gyurke was sixth in the 3,200 meter run, finishing in 11:04.23 — but she had her competition cut out for her as the top two finishers broke the all-time stadium record and the champion erased the old D-I record. Gyurke was just under 50 seconds behind the time of champion Annie Heffernan, a sophomore from Cincinnati St. Ursula, who finished in 10:14.91, knocking off the old mark by over one second. Clay freshman Haley Hess was eighth in the 1,600 meter run, finishing in 5:04.85 — just under 47 seconds off the time of champion Sydney Leiher, a Beavercreek senior, who finished in 4:51.23. The three Clay girls scored 10 points as the Eagles finished in a five-way tie for 25th place out of 74 teams scoring. Solon was the champion with 47 points.

First pit bull rescued from pound is an ambassador for breed By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Just over three years ago, a little pit bull puppy named Liberty was close to being euthanized at the Lucas County Dog Warden. Thanks to Planned Pethood and Carol Humberger, owner of A Promised Friend in Oregon, the little pup, now named Gianna, has grown up to be an ambassador of her breed. According to Humberger, the former puppy has been rechristened Gianna, after Gianna Jesson who survived after her mother tried to abort her some 30 years ago. “My Gianna was the first un-owned pit bull to make it out of the Lucas County pound alive,� Humberger said. “Just over three years later, she is a great family dog and is a reliable pet and companion.� The pit bull made news in 2009 as Nikki Morey, executive director of Planned Pethood, fought then Dog Warden Tom Skeldon to release the puppy into the care of the Toledo Area Humane Society. The five week-old puppy was found during a drug raid in a feces-filled crate. The only other dog on the property was an adult male that was locked on the front porch. She was taken to the Lucas County dog warden. “She stayed in isolation for three weeks at the pound until Planned Pethood found out she was there,� Humberger said. “With the help of the Lucas County Commissioners, especially Ben Konop, the pound was forced to give her to the rescue. The county rule at that time did not allow puppies under the age of 3 months to be euthanized, so the pound had her hidden, so they could wait another month and put her down.� Humberger said Gianna was 8 weeks old when she went into foster care. “The foster mom called me for advice and to see if I could evaluate this puppy

they called ‘Liberty,’� she explained. “After meeting this sweet, smart puppy who had such a bad start in life, I decided to adopt her. She was 12 weeks old when she came to live with our family.� Three years later, Gianna now lives with nine other dogs, four cats, birds and various farm animals. “She gets along with everyone well, be it animals or people,� Humberger, a dog trainer said. “She accompanies me to group and private dog training sessions and has been a great ambassador for her breed.� In March, Gianna officially passed and received her Canine Good Citizens (CGC) Award from the Toledo Pet Bull Project. Humberger is a dog trainer and CGC evaluator with the organization, but did not evaluate Gianna for the award. “She goes to classes, and she is just a really good dog,� Humberger said. “She never shows aggression with the dogs who live here as well as the dogs that come here for training, She would rather play with her ball and Kong than get into a fight with anyone.� Because of her sweet and easygoing nature, Gianna has changed the mind of many people she has come into contact with, Humberger said. “A lot of people believe in the myths that surround pit bulls,� Humberger said. “I have had a lot of people tell me they have changed their minds when it comes to pit bulls because of how wonderful she is.� Humberger said Gianna has never fought or even tried to bite another dog or human. She added the myth that pit bulls will lock their jaws once they attack someone is just that - a myth. “She can’t lock her jaw any more than other dogs,� she said. “She has the quickest release when I say ‘drop it.’ She is extremely sensitive, and the most verbally controlled of all of the dogs. She does not need physical correction. A stern look is enough for her.�

Make room in the garden for the easy-to-grow Calendula By J.K. DePeal Garden Writer news@presspublications.com June has come and the 21st of this month will mark the beginning of the summer season in full-swing. Those who have been planting and working in their garden or beds in May have noticed a cool and wet season. We actually had two frost nights after the usual “safe” date for planting in May. The wet weather is very welcome and many of the perennials coming back this year in our beds are showing their appreciation with healthy, vigorous growth and abundant buds and blooms on the flowering varieties. The cool, wet weather is also providing us with an extended period for sowing seeds and putting in transplants and, the garden centers are full of some very nice-looking, healthy flowers, foliage plants, shrubs and trees for the choosing. Do you have room in your garden or beds for a re-seeding, easy-to-grow, edible, brightly-colored flower? If not, you may want to make room for this one. The Calendula or pot marigold is a great addition to any landscape. Calendulas range in color from deep, golden, orange to light, bright, yellow and they have an aromatic, spicy fragrance as well. These cheerful flowers are easy-to-grow and, if given a sunny to part shade location, they will tolerate poor soil. Grown thickly, they can be used as a groundcover in places where other flowers will not grow. Calendula petals are edible and will
Get Growing
Calendula petals are edible and add a spicy, pungent flavor to a variety of foods. add a spicy, pungent flavor to salads or they can be used to flavor soups and stews. This same spicy pungency acts as a repellant to certain insects. Grown near the vegetable garden, pot marigold will repel tomato
worms, asparagus beetles, and mosquitoes. Pot marigold petals can be dried or frozen for later use. To dry them, just place the petals spread so as not to touch, on paper towels and allow them to dry. The dried
petals can be stored in airtight containers. Dried petal can be mixed into potpourris, used to make tea, used in hair rinses, cream, salves and soaps, and used as a dye for fabrics. Calendula can also be used as a coloring agent in cheese. In the fall, leave the seed heads and let the seeds fall to the ground. By spring, you will have new plants to enjoy. You may also want to try cutting the seed heads in the fall and burying them near and around your bulb beds. In the spring when the bulbs have stopped blooming, the calendula will be grown enough to cover the dead foliage of the bulbs. What a great plant – any gardener could grow, enjoy and use this one. June garden tips: Stake plants that will grow tall as the season progresses and will need the extra support; • Add extra mulch to perennial and vegetable beds, transplants and young plants to keep roots moist and cool • Finish planting tender transplants such as coleus, tomatoes, pumpkins, and begonias. If you have garden questions or tips for other gardeners, send them in to dpl3@accesstoledo.com.
Locally-made Dei Fratelli launches gluten-free tomato soup Dei Fratelli, a locally-made tomato brand sold throughout the United States, has re-introduced its condensed tomato soup as 100 percent gluten-free. The gluten-free recipe replaces Dei Fratelli’s original tomato soup and now completes the Dei Fratelli line as completely gluten-free. The newly formulated product, available in grocery stores locally and throughout the country, offers the same zesty flavor as the original soup, Dei Fratelli promises. In addition to being the only condensed tomato soup on the market that is 100 percent gluten-free, Dei Fratelli soup is produced without high-fructose corn syrup, to-
mato paste or water, the company said. “The Dei Fratelli all-natural product uses crushed tomatoes to provide its fresher-tasting, rich tomato flavor,” said Steve Hirzel, president, Hirzel Canning Company & Farms, which manufactures Dei Fratelli brands. A fourth-generation, family-owned and

founded in 1923, Hirzel produces canned tomatoes, tomato products and sauerkraut in three processing locations. The company owns extensive greenhouses and farms in Northwest Ohio. “Dei Fratelli has always focused their attention to consumers who have dietary needs,” Hirzel said. “Our effort to produce gluten-free products has benefitted those who are gluten-free or have an allergy to gluten. We wanted to bring that same quality to our tomato soup. “We are thrilled to release this new product, which will allow those with gluten dietary restrictions to enjoy the classic flavor of tomato soup,” he said.
Gluten-free products are growing with consumers afflicted with celiac disease, a condition that damages the lining of the small intestine due to a reaction from eating gluten, which is found in wheat, barley, rye, and possibly oats. According to CeliacCenntral.org, the disease affects 3 million Americans, though only roughly 5 percent are properly diagnosed. With no pharmaceutical cures for the disease, one of the best treatment options is a lifelong glutenfree diet.

Being able and willing to accept where we are in our lives can benefit our peace of mind and add to our personal happiness. We all know that life is not always easy, and that everyone has issues with which to contend; however, our attitude and the way in which we address our daily concerns defines our character and well being. Just as much of our past momentous problems with which we were once so concerned have now hopefully disappeared, future problems will also be taken care of. Therefore we should accept that life is

Dealing with the concerns of daily life helps us to develop a trust in our Heavenly Father, and knowing that He loves us should be comforting in times of stress.

Area couples renew vows on June 6 Six couples said “I still do” at a wedding vow renewal ceremony held June 6 at Grace Bible Baptist Church in Walbridge. The couples renewed vows separately, after being introduced as a group, then each husband and wife pair walked down the aisle and renewed vows with it Pastor David Stogsdill. The “brides” all carried a rose with baby’s breath. After signing a certificate commemorating their renewal, the couples enjoyed cupcakes and beverages.
Perry’s Longboat christening Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry could not have turned the tide against the British in the Battle of Lake Erie 200 years ago without the aid of the longboat that carried him from the sinking Lawrence to the eventually triumphant Niagara. And although Perry’s Longboat isn’t large on size, its historical relevance is as immense as any ship in the Commodore’s fleet. For this reason, it has been recreated to play its vital role in the Battle of Lake Erie Bicentennial Celebration later this summer. On Saturday, June 15 at 10 a.m. at the Shelby Street Boat Ramp in downtown Sandusky, the Sandusky Maritime Museum and the Perry Group will unveil Riddle Boat Work’s replica of Perry’s iconic quarter boat. The christening will coincide with the Maritime Museum and Lyman Boat Owners Association’s Classic Boat Show at the Paper District Marina that same day from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. With a bottle of ceremonial champagne at the ready, dignitaries and uniformed sailors in place, this piece of maritime antiquity is the launch of the 2013 Lake Erie Shores and Islands Summer of history. For more information, call the Maritime Museum at 419-624-0274 or visit at www.sanduskymaritime.org.

Father’s Day concert Regional country music group, Ridin’ Shotgun will take the stage for a special Father’s Day concert Sunday, June 16 at Birchard Park stage in Fremont. The group’s 7 p.m. performance is part of the 2013 “Concert in The Park” series. The show, which will feature a wide variety of classic country music, will also pay tribute to all fathers in the audience. The concert will also feature a guest appearance by 2011 “Fremont’s Got Talent” winner, Lori Willey, who has also performed with the Fremont Community Theater. A segment of the show will also pay tribute to country music legend, George Jones, who passed away April 26. Formed in 1997, Ridin’ Shotgun has performed
2010 at Grace Church. The Hartfords were the lucky winners of a gift basket worth more than $250, featuring items donated by several local businesses. And in a case of “better late than never,” another couple, who were tardy for the ceremony, renewed their vows after the others had left. The couple, Angie and Frank Thompson, weren’t late through any fault of their own – their children had arranged, as a surprise, for them to be there, since they’d been married 30 years as of March 9. However, they hadn’t told the couple, and Frank had to work. When Frank’s employer found out, he let him go home early. The pastor and pianist and a few guests hung around to watch the couple renew their vows. The vow renewal ceremony has held as part of the ongoing Walbridge Centennial celebration. Grace Church, the oldest church in town, is located at 116 E. Union St.

Howdy there, I'm Conrad! I am looking for a fun and loving family to call my own. Are you able to help me out? I will play all day long with you and I promise to be a good boy. I am currently available for adoption at the Lucas County Dog Warden along with 50+ of my canine friends. The LCDW is located at 410 S Erie St. Toledo 419.213.2800. The LCDW is always looking to recruit more volunteers as well as donations of old blankets, dog treats and toys. You can learn more about the programs at the LCDW as well as view adoptable dogs at lucascountydogs.com, Facebook, Petharbor and Petfinder.com. Please remember to license your dog and make the LCDW your first stop when looking for a lost dog.
Hi, my name is ROLLO and I am a very nice boy (60 lbs). I love to play, but the couch is one of my favorite places too. I will need a fenced in yard to keep me safe. A family who is home a chunk of the day would be perfect, as I love my humans. I am a lover. My most favorite trick is "belly rub". I will need a fenced yard to play in. I am smart and love to play ball. See me on our FB page as I have a lot more pictures I'm neutered, have all my shots, am micro chipped and house trained! I am just a big goofy boy. For whatever reason in my past life, I do not get along with cats :( A gentle, sociable dog companion would make my day too. youluckydogrescue.com
