6th Annual Tractor show Tom and Vergi Aberl of Oregon came out to the Oregon Tractor Supply on Navarre Avenue June 14, for the 6th Annual Antique Tractor Show. The tractor they are looking at is a 1952, Oliver 77 and is owned by Barb Berger. Barb and her husband Butch Berger had 12 tractors in the show between the two of them. "I bought my uncle's tractor in '99 and restored the 33 Massey-Harris for Curtice Kidz Day so I could have it in the parade. It's been an addictive hobby ever since," said Butch.

Board likely to seek levy soon The Oregon City Schools District will probably put a levy on the ballot within the next year and a half to counter a shrinking budget. In an update to the five year financial forecast for the district, Treasurer Jane Fruth’s analysis was not very rosy. “When you talk about a five year forecast, everyone wants to focus on what the cash balances are. But it’s really all about trends and it’s for planning purposes,” Fruth said at a recent board meeting. “In the last fiscal year, the trends have not changed. In the last fiscal year, we began spending more than we were taking in. Just barely. I think by a couple hundred thousand dollars. But that trend is continuing. The expenditures are outpacing the revenue. And that, of course, is not sustainable.” The district has cash balances through Fiscal Year 2016, she added. “We’re at the point where we have to be careful.” Some adjustments made to the five year forecast include increased revenue for special transportation and preschool, a refund from Worker’s Compensation, savings in health insurance premiums, and fewer

funds for Career Tech. “We’re really on the floor for Career Tech. At the beginning of the year, it was showing they were going to be able to afford $1,000 for Career Tech. And now we’re down to $280,” said Fruth. Open enrollment monies are also down from original estimates. And reimbursements for the tangible personal property taxes that the district previously lost are at the 2013 level, she said. “We slowly start to reduce the personal tangible property taxes in Fiscal Year 2016,” she said. “I’ve been told that the [state] budget director, Tim Keen, believes
very strongly in pulling that money back from districts, getting it back into the state budget. So effective in Fiscal year 2016, I have begun reducing the amount we would have received directly from the state, which is about $700,000.” Lower premiums An unexpected adjustment, which will have a large impact on the budget, said Fruth, is a reduction in health insurance premiums. “It is one of our larger expenses,” Fruth said of health insurance. The five year forecast had predicted a 9 percent increase in health insurance costs by renewing the district’s contract with Aetna. But the district’s broker was able to find another carrier, Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield, with the same coverage but at a 3.5 percent reduced cost. “This actually creates a $630,000 swing in the insurance line of my forecast because I had a 9 percent increase projected, and we have a 3.5 percent reduction. It was a nice little boost we could capture,” she said. With expenditures exceeding revenue, the district is leaning on its cash reserves to get by. “We’re living off our cash reserves,
In two drunk-driving cases decided in the past 10 months by the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals, the court has ruled in favor of motorists who’d been swerving so widely their tires were touching centerlines and fog lines and, in one case, an open container of beer was found. In both cases the court upheld motions to suppress evidence obtained when the drivers were stopped by law enforcement agencies, agreeing with the defendants’ arguments the stops were not lawful. Earlier this month, the appeals court upheld a decision by Bowling Green Municipal Court to suppress evidence obtained by a Wood County sheriff’s deputy after he stopped a driver for driving outside marked lanes. The deputy, Micah Kindle, stopped the driver, Kenneth Baker, about 1 a.m. on Aug. 13, 2013 after observing Baker’s truck riding on the centerline and drifting toward the fog line. The deputy reported he detected an odor of alcohol in the truck and observed an open container of beer and charged Baker with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and operating with a prohibited alcohol content. After reviewing the deputy’s testimony and watching footage from the patrol car’s camera that recorded Baker’s vehicle, the municipal court concluded his tires never crossed completely over any lane marking. The municipal court relied on a decision by the appeals court last year in determining the deputy “lacked reasonable, articulable suspicion to stop Baker” and granted Baker’s motion to suppress the evidence. The Bowling Green prosecutor’s office appealed the decision, contending the municipal court erred when it ruled the deputy’s reasons for stopping the vehicle weren’t sufficient for a stop under the fourth amendment. “Like other courts, we recognized in Parker (a case that began in Ottawa County Municipal Court) that a driver violates Ohio Revised Code 4511.33 when he or she travels completely across the centerline or fog line,” the appeals court ruled.

Levy Continued from front page which is obviously not sustainable,� said Fruth. “The real problem for Oregon schools is we do not know what the state is going to do with hold harmless monies. That is $4.8 million a year that we’re getting as a side payment. Back in Fiscal Year 2010, we were receiving $6.5 million. The reductions we had to take out of the forecast out of the [state’s] biennial budget forced us to take a portion of that away each year, which brought it down to $4.8 million. It’s just hard to predict what’s going to happen with that. It’s hard on our community. It’s just hanging over our heads. I just think that explains why we have to be so careful with our money. I would love the Legislature to just keep it there. That would be the best news we could get. But that’s not what the people in Columbus are projecting. They really believe [Governor John] Kasich and Keen definitely want that to go away. They want that money in the general fund. So we have to be cautious,� she said. A drop in property valuations continues to erode the revenue stream, she said. “Our valuations have gone down. It would be nice to have some increases in valuations. It’s just where we’re at. We’re just flat,� she said. The drop in true cash, she added, is also due to an increase in expenses. “As of now, we’re spending 6 percent more than last year. Of course, most of that is due to the reconfiguration. We had to make some adjustments to serve our kids.� Jeff Ziviski, vice president of the board, said after the meeting that a decision will have to be made as to whether a levy will to placed on the ballot this year or next year. “The last time we had a levy that passed was in 2008. The normal cycle for a levy for school districts is four or five years, and we’re outside of that.� The only other option, he added, is to reduce spending, but there was little left in the budget to cut. “We won’t place a levy on the ballot until we’ve exhausted all internal savings and reductions,� he said.

ProMedica offers clot-removing stroke treatment For a patient who suffers a severe ischemic stroke or blockage of a blood vessel, and who may not be a candidate for the more common medication (tissue plasminogen activator or tPA) that dissolves a clot, another option of treatment is available at ProMedica. Mechanical embolectomy is performed by going through the leg with a catheter to
the brain where the clot is located, mechanically retrieving and removing the clot, and restoring critical blood flow. “We have seen immediate improvement in some patients after the clot has been removed,� according to Dr. Mouhammad Jumaa, medical director of the ProMedica Stroke Network. To determine where the clot is located,
doctors perform a brain-computed tomography scan, or brain CT scan, by injecting a contrast dye into the carotid artery. For more stroke information about strokes, visit www.stroke.org.

Measles spreading
City seeks more commercial zoning By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon council will hold a public hearing on Monday at 8 p.m. in council chambers on another request for commercial zoning on Navarre Avenue. The parcels, at 5508 and 5528 Navarre Ave., has R-1 Low Density Residential and C-2 General Commercial split zoning. The owners, David and Dianne Jaeger, are requesting the entire parcel be zoned C-2 General Commercial. Council at its last meeting on June 9 approved a similarly split zoning parcel just west of the Jaeger parcels at 5464 Navarre for TESCO, a national bus distributor owned by Noel Graham. The zoning change saw opposition from some nearby residential property owners, who did not want commercial zoning so close to their homes. The city, as a compromise, will develop a landscaping plan that will act as a buffer between the residences and the commercially zoned parcel. Mayor Mike Seferian said last week he did not think there would be any more requests for commercial zoning along that stretch of Navarre Avenue after the hearing on the Jaeger parcels. “I think after that, you won’t see much action,” said Seferian. He also didn’t expect opposition on the Jaeger parcels. “Most of the parcels are zoned commercial, anyway. Those people opposed to the TESCO property had to come to the reality of what they were living in close proximity to. But we agreed to use some of our tree enhancement programs in the city to landscape along that stretch, and provide a little buffer,” he said. Jaeger manufactures tow trucks on one of the parcels, said Seferian. “They are shipped all over the country. He has a very active business,” said Seferian. “He’s already started cleaning up the property. That’s why he was getting the zoning, because he wanted to make the property look better. Those neighbors will be a skeptical for a little while. I think they’re more worried about, if the zoning is changed to commercial, what more will come. But there is undeveloped commercial property out there already. It doesn’t prohibit them from keeping commercial business from coming in right now just because it looks bad. Almost the whole area is commercial right now. Only the Jaegers and Grahams have businesses there. But if you went there tomorrow and bought 35 acres of undeveloped commercial property, you could put whatever business C-2 allows, and residents could do nothing about it. If you build your house half a mile away from a state route, I can’t believe you would think that all the new development between you and the state route is going to be residential housing. You know it’s going to be commercial.”
Seferian said he thinks the residents who are now opposed will eventually adapt to commercial zoning. “There was a two hour public hearing for those people to vent and get it out of their system when TESCO wanted the commercial zoning change. The city will be involved with them and try to protect some of the invasion of commercial property. As they look at it more, it’s not as bad as they’re envisioning. As a matter of fact, Graham and Jaeger, after the zoning changes, will spend money and clean the places up. They will certainly look better than when the residents built their houses there. The businesses let their property zoned residential go to weeds because they had no use for it. Now they want to expand, and the properties will be cleaned up for commercial.” Seferian understands neighbors’ concerns, but he believes they are unfounded. “I sympathize with them. But they have a fear of the unknown. They think their $300,000 house will not be worth $150,000. They think their property values will drop. Most of the time, the fear factor
some residents have not been realized. I think it will be no concern to them after a few years pass.” Mary Ann Achter, of South Stadium Road, planned to attend the hearing on Monday to oppose the Jaegers’ zoning change request. “I will definitely be there to discuss the parcel. You’ll hear me as to why I oppose it,” Achter said at the June 9 meeting. She expressed opposition to the zoning change for the TESCO property, saying she did not want another car lot in the city. Scott Winckowski, chairman of the Oregon Planning Commission, said at a Commission meeting in April that city council lost an opportunity to adopt the original 2020 plan that called for a commercial district 1,200 feet off of Navarre Avenue on both sides of the road, from I-280 to the corporation line, east of Stadium Road. He said it would have incorporated Graham’s and the Jaegers’ properties and would have kept council and the Commission from having to consider commercial zoning requests from separate property owners.

“Based on Kindle’s concession that Baker drove his car on the marked line and not across it, and based on our review of the recording obtained from the dashboard camera of the patrol car which followed Baker’s vehicle’s movements, we agree with the trial court…” the deputy lacked reasonable suspicion Baker had violated revised code. Last August, the appeals court reversed a decision by Ottawa County Municipal Court that denied a defendant’s motion to suppress evidence. Matthew Parker was charged March 25, 2012 with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. After pleading not guilty, he filed the motion, which was denied in August 2012. He then entered a no contest plea and was sentenced to 90 days in jail, with 75 days suspended. Footage from the dash cam of the Ohio Highway Patrol trooper’s vehicle indicated Parker’s vehicle “sometimes traveled on the marked lanes but this is not a violation..” of state law, the appeals court ruled.

Although measles is spreading outside of Central Ohio, currently, the disease has not spread to any county inside the Northwest Ohio’s Public Health Emergency Planning region, the ToledoLucas County Health Department reports. The most recent case involves an infant less than 6 months old whose family traveled in mid-May to northcentral Ohio, where six counties are experiencing a measles outbreak. The health department urges families to check with their healthcare provider to make sure they are up to date on immunizations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website lists U.S. and international “Measles Cases and Outbreaks” at http://www.cdc.gov/ measles/case-outbreaks.html. Measles is a highly contagious disease that spreads easily. Symptoms begin with fever, runny nose, cough, loss of appetite, and red, watery eyes for about four days, followed by a rash. The rash usually lasts five to six days and begins at the hairline, moves to the face and upper neck, and proceeds down the body. The disease can also cause severe illness and complications such as diarrhea, ear infections, pneumonia, encephalitis, seizures and death. These complications are more common among children under 5 years of age and adults over 20 years of age. There is no specific treatment for measles. People with measles need bed rest, fluids, and control of fever. For more information, call 419213-4100.

Saving private acres By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com More acreage in Sandusky County has been approved for purchase through the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s easement program. The department announced last week it has approved local sponsors to purchase agriculture easements in 21 counties, including approximately 149 acres of the Mauch Farm and 110 acres of CBR Farms. Both are located in Washington Township. The easements will be purchased by the Black Swamp Conservancy, a regional land trust. Mike Powell, land protection specialist with the conservancy, said the organization has previously conserved acreage owned by the two farms. “They both wanted to continue to build a block of conserved farmland out there,� he said. “We reached out to them in this case but it’s a mutual relationship at this stage.� Black Swamp Conservancy has about 13,331 acres in Northwest Ohio under its protection. About 360 of those acres are owned by the conservancy and the rest is protected through easements. “Under a conservation easement the landowner retains control of the land,� Powell said. “They can sell it, they can give to their kids, they can keep farming it. But the conservation easement insures that the property stays in agriculture or natural use in perpetuity.� Much of the conservancy’s land protected by easements is in Sandusky and Seneca counties. Powell said, “That’s something we’ve tried to do intentionally. That is some of the most productive farmland in the world.� To be eligible for the easement program, farms must be larger than 40 acres and actively engaged in farming and not be in close proximity to development.

Board has deadline to fill its new vacancy By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Oregon board of education is accepting applications to fill a vacant seat on the board until 4 p.m. on June 27. Applicants must submit a cover letter, resume and completed application, which is on the board’s website at www.oregoncityschools.org, to Treasurer Jane Fruth, 5721 Seaman Road, Oregon, 43616 or to her email address at jfruth@oregoncs.org. P.J. Kapfhammer resigned his seat on the board at the start of the board meeting on June 10. “We have 30 days from the time of the vacancy to appoint someone,� said Jeff Ziviski, vice president of the school board. “If we don’t, it’s out of our hands and an appointment will be made by a judge.� Ziviski said the successful candidate will be a “team player.� “We’re looking for someone who can be supportive of the administrative team as we look to improve the district,� said Ziviski. “We’ve gone through the controversy and the shakeup that had to happen in the district,� he added, referring to the tension between former Superintendent Dr. Mike Zalar and members of the board before he resigned last year and was replaced by Dr. Lonnie Rivera. “We have all the pieces in place. We’ve made changes in the last two years. We need someone who can help move the district forward in a calm and professional manner. I’m 100 percent behind Lonnie. We don’t need to go through that whole battle again. We need the right people in place to move forward. We’re looking for someone who is non-political who can work within our system. We don’t need the politics. We are negotiating with the teachers’ union and have a levy coming up in the next year and a half that we have to get done,� he said. Board decisions Among the major changes in the district in the last two years are the appointment of Rivera and the reconfiguration.
“We just completed the first year of the reconfiguration, and it’s been very successful. We’ll see that reflected in the state test scores in the next couple of years,� he said. The reconfiguration consisted of combining grades 5 and 6 in one building, grades 7 and 8 in another building, and maintaining kindergarten through grade 4 in one building in an effort to improve educational efficiency. “Besides hiring Lonnie, we’ve had other administrative hires, including Jim Jurski as Clay High School principal, Mark Beach as the athletic director, and Mike Lee as head coach of Clay High School football. Those are some key administrative hires who are on board with the strategy we have to move the district forward. We are all moving toward that goal,� said Ziviski. The district has also restored bus service, which had been eliminated by the previous school board in 2011 to reduce costs. “We have the same ridership district-wide as we did prior to the cuts,� said Ziviski. “We reinstated busing to a level that accommodates all students who used bus transportation prior to the cuts.� Significant board decisions will also have to be made regarding contract negotiations with the Oregon City Federation of Teachers, and whether an operating levy should be placed on the ballot. “Negotiations with the teachers’ union is priority one. We have to get that wrapped up,� said Ziviski. “And at some point before the end of next year, we have to look at placing a levy on the ballot.� Board surprised Kapfhammer’s resignation appeared to have caught officials by surprise. After calling the June 10 meeting to order, Kapfhammer, as president of the board, asked the crowd to rise for the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence afterwards. Fruth then called the roll of board members Ziviski, Heather Miller, Carol Molnar, and Mike Csehi, After the roll call, Kapfhammer would customarily proceed with the start of the agenda. But not this time.

When Molnar’s name was called to vote, she paused before saying “yes,â€? followed by affirmative votes from the rest of the board, including Kapfhammer. He then nominated Molnar as board president, and Ziviski as vice president, which were approved by the board. “Madame President, I would ask you to accept my resignation as an Oregon School board member today,â€? said Kapfhammer, his voice filled with emotion. “I will take that resignation,â€? said Molnar. “Thank you,â€? said Kapfhammer, his voice trailing off, as he got up and left the room. The board sat in stunned silence for several moments. “I hope I don’t make too many mistakes,â€? said Molnar. “This is quite a surprise.â€? The board then voted to meet in executive session, which is not open to the public. “This was quite a shock to all of us,â€? said Molnar when she reconvened the public meeting. “I’ve known P.J. for a long time,â€? Rivera said at the end of the meeting. “I grew up, went to school with him. I know in the community people either love him or hate him. In my time as a superintendent, he’s let me do what I need to do. He’s helped our staff. The one thing I’ll say is that he’s a bleeding heart for kids. And I believe a lot of what happened tonight is that he felt [resigning] was in the best interest of kids. I believe that’s why he did it. But none of us knew anything that was going on tonight. It was quite a shock.â€?

Volunteers needed
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Scenic Rivers program is seeking volunteers to conduct water quality monitoring on the Maumee and Sandusky rivers. Local residents interested in helping with stream quality monitoring are invited to attend workshops. Volunteers will be trained to sample the water quality by learning how to net and identify the aquatic insects that live in the rivers. The type, number and diversity of these aquatic macro-invertebrates are indicators of water quality. The data that these volunteer monitors collect is published in an online annual report. The workshop provides interested volunteers with free training on how to check for changes in water quality and aquatic habitat as well as learning about the aquatic inhabitants found in our state’s scenic rivers. Training includes learning how to fill out and submit report forms as well as more information about Ohio’s scenic rivers. Interested participants are asked to pre-register and attend a training workshop. Volunteers are asked to wear old clothes and closed-toe shoes as this activity occurs by wading in very shallow portions of streams. Workshops will be held on the Sandusky River July 19, 10 a.m.noon, St. Johns Scenic River Area at the intersection of County Road 6 and Township Road 131; and on the Maumee River July 23, Independence Dam, 6-8 p.m. For more information, visit http:// watercraft.ohiodnr.gov/scenicrivers.

Sheriff offers dispatching service to Lake Twp. By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A proposal by the Wood County Sheriff’s Department to assume emergency dispatching services for Lake Township appears to be less than what it’s currently costing the township to operate its own dispatching center. However, after hearing a presentation Tuesday by Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn, township officials are asking for more information on the proposal. Richard Welling, a township trustee, directed Police Chief/Administrator Mark Hummer and Fire Chief Bruce Moritz to meet with the sheriff to discuss technical aspects of the proposal. “We will give this serious consideration,” Welling said to the sheriff as he closed his presentation. Sheriff Wasylyshyn said it costs approximately $65,210 a year for a full-time dispatcher at the county department. He estimated annual fees for the expanded service would be about $8,500. A one-time fee for setting up a record management system would be about $35,230. If the sheriff added two dispatchers to serve the township, villages of Walbridge and Millbury and City of Rossford it would cost roughly half what dispatching service

is now costing, Hummer said. The township by contract provides emergency dispatching for the villages and Rossford, apportioning costs by call volume. Under that format, Walbridge pays about $50,000 annually and Rossford about $120,000. The township share is roughly $130,000. Chief Hummer said there are usually one or two dispatchers on duty per shift at the township dispatching center on Lemoyne Road. “If he can do what we can do at about half the cost then I’d be remiss as administrator to not recommend it,” Hummer said. “We need to look at all our options and do what’s best for our citizens. The cost is not the primary factor, quality of service is.” Sheriff Wasylyshyn made a similar presentation about two weeks ago to Rossford City Council. The township, villages and Rossford have been meeting with representatives of the City of Northwood to discuss merging their dispatching systems into a regional format. If that merger took place, it would likely result in the closing of Northwood’s dispatching center at the police station on Wales Road or Lake Township’s office on Lemoyne. After Tuesday’s trustees meeting, Hummer said a study of merging the systems is approaching “the 11th hour.” The
entities participating in the study have agreed to a regional council of government form of administration for a merged system if it were to be adopted. Also, a contract Lake Township has with LifeStar is scheduled to expire next April. Under the contract, the company provides dispatchers for the township’s Lemoyne Road facility. In his presentation to the trustees, Sheriff Waslyshyn said his department’s communication division is staffed by 16 full-time dispatchers working 12-hour shifts. There are four dispatchers working per shift, including one supervisor. Grant received In other business, the trustees were informed by Dan McLargin, road supervisor, that the township has received a $140,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation that will be used to replace pavement on Libby Road near the Ohio Turnpike. The grant will be issued in 2015. The trustees also heard from a resident of the 4100 block of Waltham Road who complained about open burning on her neighbors’ property. She said the burning occurs during the day and night and the resulting smoke can be heavy at times. Chief Moritz said he would discuss the issue with her further.

Survey sent to Oregon businesses The Oregon Economic Development Foundation is launching a business retention and expansion program to evaluate the local business climate and assist businesses with expansion. Lindsay Myers, executive director, states nearly 300 businesses in the Navarre Avenue corridor will be surveyed in the first phase. “Our goal is to increase and open up the lines of communication between businesses, city government staff and local development officials,” Myers stated. “Existing businesses create up to 80 percent of all new jobs in a community, so it’s important to examine the needs of those companies already committed to Oregon.” A task force of community leaders has been working since April to develop the survey. The group, with representatives from diverse segments of the economy including business, government, education and health care, has identified the Navarre Avenue corridor as the target focus area. Navarre Avenue and its ancillary streets, including Coy, Dustin, Lallendorf, Stadium, Wynn and Wheeling, house most of the medium to small business establishments that will be targeted. After the survey data has been tabulated, the task force will examine the results and look for ways to assist businesses in Oregon with operations and potential expansion plans. Businesses are encouraged to complete and return the survey by July 1. “In the short term, we’ll be identifying immediate concerns and looking at community services that need improvement,” Myers said. “Ultimately we want to address such complex issues as the skills of the local workforce and the competitiveness of local businesses.” The foundation is being assisted by Ohio State University Extension in Lucas County and the Ohio Sea Grant College. All Oregon business are invited to fill out the survey. You can do so by going to www.oregon.ohio.com, and clicking on business sector survey.

Teaching outcome To the editor: To say I was a little upset about P.J. Kapfhammer’s comments in last week’s Press about the teachers of Oregon City Schools would be an understatement. As with any large organization, there may be a couple of people who speak when they shouldn’t (I think you should understand this), but to say that union leadership went in to classrooms and intentionally told lies to students is a bit much. I personally don’t have a Facebook account but if you are embarrassed to have something repeated that you posted, then I don’t think it should have been posted by you to begin with. If it was something you originally put out there, own it. Next, in the article, we come to the idea of not being in favor of a school levy because the revenue might go toward teacher’s salaries. Kapfhammer may be a wealthy man without a college degree but I am not. However, I am very proud to say that my family and I had done without for many years in order to pay for my schooling. I have a bachelor’s degree in communications, a bachelor’s degree in education as well as a master’s degree in special education. I spent countless hours and thousands of dollars to obtain these degrees and I continue to pay for licenses and special trainings that are required for me to do my job as a second grade teacher at Coy Elementary. Oregon City School teachers have not had a pay raise for many years. However, what we are required to do on a daily basis continues to expand every year. Last summer, my colleagues and I spent the majority of our summer realigning and organizing our curriculum to best meet the needs of our students – on our own time. Although I cannot speak for the other buildings in our district, I can say that there are very few days that the teachers in our

building go home at quitting time. Many of us can be seen there well after 5 or 6 p.m. several days a week. In addition, because of the lack of planning time that is needed to effectively make our lesson plans according to the new Common Core State Standards, you can visit many of us there on Sunday afternoons for an additional two to three hours (also on our own time). Then there are the book bags we bring home each night in order to stay caught up on grading or projects. You many think we have the summer off – wrong. Although we may not be in the classroom, I am working, as are many others. We have bags and boxes of projects that we need to complete in order to start the school year effectively in the fall. In addition, many teachers in our building will be at school Tuesday evenings (on their own time) for a summer math program in order to help students increase their math fact mastery over the summer. I personally spent more than $2,000 last year out of my own pocket for things needed in my classroom or for supplies that students needed and didn’t have. Our staff also went Christmas shopping for many children so they would have presents to open on Christmas Day (on our own time with our own money). Teachers don’t teach for the income – they teach for the outcome. However, it does get frustrating when we get praised every year at different community events about how wonderful we are as teachers and that the administration is grateful for all we do for our students, yet we are not worthy of a pay increase. Wendy McGrady
Editor’s note: Under an agreement that went into effect July 1, 2008 and expires June 30, Oregon teachers with bachelor’s degrees receive annual step raises during their first 12 years of working in the district, according to information provided by the treasurer’s office. The increases then are staggered to go in effect the 15th, 17th, 20th, and 24th years. Teachers with master’s degrees or doctorate degrees – or working toward the advanced degrees – receive step increases in each of the 24 years. For example, a teacher with a bachelor’s degree and no experience is paid $34,936 a year. By the fourth year, that teacher is paid $39,810. A teacher with a master’s degree and no experience is paid $38,255. By the fourth year, that teacher is paid $44,281.
Effort nets savings To the editor: I am writing this letter to acknowledge the effort of many people in our community who helped the Port Clinton City School District refinance the bonds used to build new schools, saving over $1 million for our local taxpayers. A new bond credit rating and official statement needed to be completed in a short period of time to take advantage of the current market conditions. Jamie Bier Grant, director of the Ottawa County Improvement Corporation, provided timely information on our industrial parks and employers. Ottawa County Auditor Larry Hartlaub provided multiple data related to millage rates, assessed values and levies. Ottawa County Treasurer Robert Hille provided insight into the properties in the district and delinquency data.
Jeff Morgan gave important information on real estate sales, while Larry Fletcher provided tourism statistics over the past several years. School board members David Belden, Barb Drusbacky, Beth Benko, Michele Mueller and Paul Shaw, and finance committee members Gary Coon and Gary Ohm provided expertise as we navigated through federal sequestration. Heidi Steyer, high school guidance counselor, provided information regarding students and programs offered. Finally, Superintendent Pat Adkins helped to present the information to Standard & Poors Ratings Services. The dedicated and timely work of the aforementioned helped the district maintain its AA+ bond rating, which led to a successful refunding of the Build America Funds. This lowered our debt by over $1 million, which will be passed along to our local taxpayers. Thank you, to all those that made this possible, and especially our community for their continued support of the Port Clinton City School District. Jeff Dornbusch Port Clinton City School Treasurer

To help solve your problems, be conscious of surroundings Are you aware of what is happening in your life or do you go through each day in a daze? Not paying attention is a great source of frustration. If you are unaware of what is happening to you and why, you feel like a victim with no control over your destiny. What happens when a student doesn’t pay attention in class? They miss important material covered by the teacher. It’s then more difficult for them to get the most from the class, if they even pass at all. Safely operating a car requires the driver to pay attention. The driver has to be aware of where they are, their desired destination, the route they have to follow, other traffic, road hazards, and the weather. Drivers who don’t pay adequate attention to all of these factors are much more likely to run off the road. Paying attention is being conscious of what is happening around you. Know where you are headed, how much progress you have made, what obstacles you are facing, and identify the goals you would like to achieve. You also need to pay attention to yourself. How do you feel? What are your emotional needs? How do you react to various situations? What are your sensitivities? What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? One of the biggest benefits of paying attention is the ability to recognize cause and
Dare to Live
by Bryan Golden effect relationships. Every action you take impacts you in some manner. If you are not achieving your desired results, what changes do you have to make? In a situation where you experience recurring problems, you need to identify the cause before you can make meaningful changes. Otherwise your chances of solving the problems are close to zero. Here are some effective steps for solving problems. First notice what is happening by paying attention. Next, pay attention to why things are happening the way they are. Now you are in a position to take effective action. As you make changes, pay attention to their effect by continuing to pay attention to what is happening. Pay attention to your past experiences. Pay attention to what you did that worked and what didn’t. You want to repeat successful behavior while avoiding actions which did not produce the desired effects. Pay attention to what you say when you talk to yourself. Is your internal dialog motivational or do you put yourself down
with negative statements? Your self-talk has a powerful influence on your accomplishments. If you tell yourself you can do something you are right. Conversely, if you don’t believe something is possible, you will never accomplish it. The way you speak to yourself programs your mind to accomplish the instructions you provide. Your mind doesn’t discriminate. It works just as diligently on negative input as positive. Pay attention to any destructive behavior that is sabotaging your success. For example, procrastination prevents you from getting started on tasks necessary to move toward your goals. Any substance abuse that causes your life to unravel needs to be dealt with and corrected immediately. Mismanaging money impedes your success. Spending more than you can afford, being late paying your bills, not paying them at all, or running up overwhelming debt, are all self-destructive behaviors that lead to constant misery and stress. When you are not paying attention, you give up control of your life. You become a passenger instead of the driver. It’s a frustrating syndrome that continues until you decide to take charge by paying attention. Keep your eyes open. Remain aware of what is happening. Pay attention to your life every day. Monitor what is working
and what is not. Repeat successful behavior while eliminating any activities causing negative results.

Guess who’s coming to graduation? It’s Jon Waters By: Harold Hamilton Press Contributing Writer A surprise speaker showed up to deliver the commencement address at Woodmore High School, and it was none other than Jonathon Waters. On Sunday June 8, I had the privilege of attending the 46th Woodmore High graduation ceremony, where the Ohio State marching band director and 1994 Woodmore graduate made his appearance. I knew it would be a memorable experience since my grandson was graduating, but to me and several hundred others it was much more than we expected and something that the 77 young graduates will long remember. First, the high school principal, James Kieper, began by thanking everyone for their attendance and many years of support to the students. A relaxed and confident senior class president, Madeline Phillips, gave a very good speech entitled “Tomorrow, starts today.” She asked her fellow graduates to remember the events and parties they had from elementary school on through high school and the classes they shared on their educational path in the Woodmore system. Then, the announcement came. Attendees were shocked when the guest speaker, Waters, was introduced. This was a surprise to many because, at Water’s request, his appearance was not publicized. “This needs to be about the Woodmore graduates, not me,” Waters said. After the ceremony I spoke with several graduates who had been music students. They were definitely shocked about Waters’ presence. Most said they not only enjoyed his speech, they identified with his ideas as if Waters’ thoughts were personally directed
Guest Editorial at each. Waters began by reminding everyone to look back 70 years since the D-Day invasion of World War II and honor those who fought for our freedom. “My grandparent’s generation and your great grandparent’s generation have given you the freedom to receive an education and your diploma today,” he said. Most commencement speakers try to alert the graduates about what the future holds and motivate them as they prepare to go out into the world. Waters mentioned that most of the things he needed to know he learned in kindergarten. For instance, take this quote from his presentation, “Live life in wonder of things around you, remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that. Live a balanced life – learn some, eat some, and drink some, and draw some and paint some and dance and play and work every day some.” Waters noted that of Woodmore’s Class of 2014, 22 percent were earning honors diplomas, 38 percent took advanced placement courses, 24 percent scored a 27 or higher on their ACT test, and 82 percent will continue their education after graduation. He also mentioned that 77 percent participated in band or choir, which provided a Segway into the body of what
Jon Waters Waters was getting to. The popular OSU band director asked the seniors, “What will the song of your life be? What are the lyrics? Is it fast or slow? What is the melody? How does it make you feel?” Waters suggested that they live their life like they are in a marching band…and listed 21 points that graduates should use to guide their life. “Be the best player you can be and make the sound of your instrument the

very best it can be and listen to the melodies others are making. Know if you are playing the lead melody or the supporting harmony. Without both, there is no music” Waters said. He reminded the graduates to “always march forward, you can never have back the last step you took. Play music in time and tempo with everyone else…otherwise it is all just noise. Sometimes play softly. Sometimes play loudly. Sometimes follow the leader and sometimes take a bow and dot the ‘I.’ Know that the music you make will brighten someone’s day and improve others’ lives.” As for the bigger picture and where graduates fit into the world, Waters said, “Remember that you are only one pixel in the picture on the football field. Without everyone around you, there is no picture… you are merely a spot standing on an empty field…and without you, that big picture would be incomplete. Your music and your movement affect the entire band.” Finally, Waters encouraged them to stand on tradition and those who have come before them and pass their musical tradition to the next generation. “Always remember, look, listen and play with passion,” Waters said. In his closing remarks, Waters said, “Our world has many problems, but none, none at all that someone from the Woodmore High School Class of 2014 can’t solve. As you enter the next phases of your lives, be confident of what you have learned here. These years that you have spent here have built you into the person you are and will help to define the person you will become.”

Caregivers Counseling Corner The
Depression in elderly can be a serious issue
The gardens feature engraved river rocks and stone benches where families and visitors can sit and reflect on the lives of their loved ones.
From the American Counseling Association The signs of depression in an elderly person can be easy to miss. We may incorrectly assume that being depressed is just part of the aging process. But despite its often being ignored or overlooked, depression can be a very real problem for many elderly people. It’s a serious health issue that needs to be treated when it happens at any age. Admittedly, recognizing true depression in the elderly can be difficult. An older person can have numerous reasons for feeling sad.. The key is recognizing the differences between simple sadness and actual depression. Sadness is just an emotional low point and it’s usually short-lived. True depression is a life-altering problem. It can diminish every aspect of a person’s life and helps cause the high rate of suicide among the elderly. Real depression is an ongoing, persistent mood. It’s not just having a sad day or two, but rather facing a continual emotional low that interferes with daily life activities and functions. There are a number of signs to look for. They include withdrawing socially, losing interest in pleasurable activities and ignoring personal care and hygiene. A depressed person often has sleep problems, perhaps difficulty falling asleep or waking repeatedly, then suffering from daytime sleepiness. Depression can also upset normal eating patterns. There may be a lack of interest in food and subsequent weight loss, or binge eating and sudden weight gain. Depression can leave the person feeling discouraged, hopeless, and worthless. There may be little energy, no interest in things around him or her, or perhaps high levels of anxiety, feelings of guilt or constant irritability and demanding behavior. Be pro-active and seek help. While clinical depression is a serious problem, the good news is that once identified, there are a variety of effective treatments available. Consult with a professional counselor or other mental health professional to find out more about dealing with this issue. “Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association. Direct comments and questions to ACAcorner@ counseling.org or visit www.counseling.org
Hospice gardens pay special tribute to veterans Hospice of Northwest Ohio recently finished planting special red, white and blue themed gardens designed to pay tribute to veterans at both the Perrysburg and Toledo centers. The gardens, which also feature engraved river rocks and stone benches, offer a place for families and visitors to reflect on the lives of their loved ones and, at the same time, honor their military service, Executive Director Judy Seibenick said. As part of the National Hospice and
Palliative Care Organization’s We Honor Vets initiative, hospice patients are asked about their military service upon admission and a special notation is made in their record. “We have educated our staff about the importance military culture has on the lives of veterans, whether they have served during war time or peace time. Each era leaves a mark and shapes experiences forever,” Seibenick said. “In addition to awareness of potential
adaptations to care, we also recognize veterans for their service through a special pinning ceremony. ‘We Honor Vets’ allows us to tap into our volunteers who are veterans and work together to show appreciation to the men and women who have served our country,” she added. The Perrysburg Center is located at 30000 East River Rd. The Toledo Center is located at 800 South Detroit Ave. Visit www.hospicenwo.org for more information.
Home Instead Senior Care offering free home safety checks According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 20 million seniors age 65 and older visit the emergency room each year, with almost a third of the visits related to injuries – many of which are sustained their homes. In fact, 65 percent of senior homes have at least one potential safety issue, according to adult children of seniors surveyed by Home Instead, Inc., franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care network. Almost half of all home accidents by seniors (48 percent) can be avoided according to a recent survey of emergency room doctors. These preventable home hazards, such as throw rugs or loose railings, can be particularly harmful, leading to falls and injuries that can impact seniors’ ability to live independently. However, the majority of seniors (85 percent) haven’t taken any steps to prepare their homes for their changing needs as they grow older. “The home should be the safest and
most comfortable place for aging seniors,” said Enedelia Marez of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Erie, Huron and Ottawa counties. “It is critical for families and seniors to invest the time in identifying the necessary home safety modifications to ensure it stays that way.” Senior home safety experts recommend that adult children of seniors take at least one day each year to perform a thorough safety check of their parents’ home. To help families accomplish this goal and help seniors reduce the risk of injury in their own homes, the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Erie, Huron and Ottawa counties is offering free home safety checks conducted by local senior care experts throughout June. The safety checks will be provided at no cost on a time-available basis. “An annual safety check can help seniors avoid dangers that could threaten their independence,” Marez said. “When
we go into homes, we see a lot of red flags that are easily overlooked by those who are familiar with the home. Most of the time, these are relatively easy and affordable fixes—and they could be the difference between a trip to the emergency room and staying safe at home.” The most common issues found in seniors’ homes are tripping hazards, bathrooms without assistive equipment, such as grab bars on the shower or tub, and storage that’s too high or too low. A free home safety checklist, online safety assessment and recommendations for inexpensive modifications that could ensure the safety of older loved ones are also available at www.makinghomesaferforseniors.com. The free safety checks and support resources are part of Home Instead Inc.’s broader Making Home Safer for Seniors program.

Going toe-to-toe with the retiree’s greatest financial adversary By Adam Cufr Retirement Planner The long list of risks facing retirees is enough to strike fear into even the best-prepared among us. The risk of another major stock market decline looms, an unprecedented level of government debt threatens the very underpinnings of our economy, not to mention growing taxes, and a weakened Social Security system. The current cost of a long-term stay in a nursing home in Ohio is between $73,000 and $81,000 per year for full care. Even with inflation, the rise in prices of most of the products we buy, studies repeatedly show that retirees spend less and less money throughout their retirement as they slow down. That is, until a medical emergency occurs. How can a retiree prepare for that very probable occurrence? A bit of planning can
go a long way. Consider these four distinct options for funding long term care costs: • Self pay – Choose to pay for any care needs out-of-pocket or from your investment assets and/or spend down those assets until Medicaid begins to pick up the tab. It may be possible to do some legal estate planning to move assets out of your estate to avoid a full spend-down before qualifying for Medicaid. Consult an estate planning attorney to ensure this is done correctly. • Buy traditional long term care insurance – Purchase policies that are designed to pay for your care during your life. Unfortunately this type of long term care insurance typically leaves nothing to loved ones after death. If you’re fairly certain that you’ll be a long term care candidate, and still qualify medically, this can still be a very effective strategy for getting help with

eek: Don’t Put Your Trust in Things of this World
Young children seem to have the utmost trust in their parents. For instance, they know that whenever they are not feeling well, their parents are there to comfort them and do whatever is necessary to make them better. A parent's love is special, and it seems that there is nothing that they would not do for their children. As adults, we should remember that all things of this world are temporary and that there is nothing we can truly depend on or be absolutely sure of. A loved one passing away, or finances being low, or a serious illness could turn our world upside down in an instant. However, we should take heart; there is good news: we are God's children, and His
Oregon
love for us is even greater than that of our parents'. And although it takes enormous courage to put our complete trust in God, we must believe that He wants only what is good for us. What is required of us is to see God's work in everything we do, and develop perfect trust to accept the trials of his life. The first step in increasing our trust in God is to thank Him daily for His many blessings and to go to Him with our anxieties. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. N.I.V. Proverbs 3:5-6

your care needs. For this option and the two to follow, seek the advice of a reputable retirement planner. • Link long-term care benefits to a life insurance policy – By using a specially designed policy, there will be a pool of money available to pay for long-term care expenses. If no long-term care is needed, a tax-free death benefit passes to your loved ones, meaning the money was not lost to the insurance company. • Link long-term care benefits to an income annuity – The Pension Protection Act of 2006 enabled certain annuities to have an “income doubler” that will enhance your guaranteed income payout by a factor of two for up to five years when qualifying long-term care is needed. The effect, like the long term care-linked life insurance, is one where you actually get the use of your money whether you need long-term care or not. If you don’t use the annuity income

Heartland of Oregon residents celebrate 100th, 101st birthdays There were plenty of candles and birthday wishes as Heartland of Oregon residents Lucille Barraclough and Anna Defalco celebrated their recent birthdays. On May 24, Lucille celebrated a century plus one year. When asked by the Heartland staff how she’d like to celebrate her 101st birthday, Lucille shared that she would like to cook a dinner for her family. The facility staff set out to help fulfill Lucille’s wish through “Heart’s Desire” a program developed by HCR Manor Care in 1997 to help make patients’ dreams come true. With the support of the Heartland staff and her family, Lucille prepared her family recipe of chicken pot pie and Watergate salad, rolls and a side garden salad. The celebration included donations from a number of local businesses, including Kroger, BartzViviano, Hirzel Brothers, Sam’s Club, The Shutter Monkeys Photographers Preston and Laura, Rite-Aid and an anonymous donor who provided a cake. Happy at 100 Just a few weeks later, on June 14, Heartland resident Anna Defalco celebrated her 100th birthday. A party was held in her honor June 13. Anna, who lived in the East Toledo area for many years, was an original member of St. Jerome Church in Walbridge, where she and her husband Dominic volunteered at the annual festival for a number of years. Asked about making it to 100, she attributes her longevity to “stubbornness and determination.”

visits with the patient, watches TV, plays cards or board games, does puzzles, etc. “To many people, two hours a week may not sound like much but to full-time caregivers, it can mean so much,� said Justin Moor, vice president of Program Development at AOoA. “It gives them the time and opportunity to take care of their own needs – to run errands, have lunch with a friend, go to their own doctor’s appointments or even to have some “alone time.� The program has about 20 active volunteers; about 50 caregivers are on the waiting list seeking volunteers. The volunteers were recruited by the AOoA at health fairs and senior events including the agency’s Spring Fling and Caregiver Expo. “A number of them are former family caregivers themselves, who know well the stresses of caring for an ag-
ing or ailing loved one,� Moor said. Currently all volunteers are 55 and older, but men and women of all ages are welcome. “We serve a 10-county service area in Northwest Ohio,� he said. “Our goal is to get a good established base of volunteers in Lucas and contiguous counties.� Since its inception, the program has been drawing rave reviews from both caregivers and volunteers. “The caregivers say they come back refreshed and rejuvenated,� Moor said. “The volunteers – who like the caregivers are selfless and amazing people – say they are gratified to be able to provide meaningful help to the senior and the caregiver as well.� The next training session is set for July.

Battle of Cold Harbor remembered 150 years later
Gilbert Gaul’s nationally-acclaimed painting “Battery H at the Battle of Cold Harbor, Virginia.
Page Two
by John Szozda
“
It’s not a snapshot in time. It’s more like a movie which shows the progression from galloping down the hill to firing the cannon.
“
Nearly 8,500 men were killed in the first 15 minutes at the Battle of Cold Harbor, fought 150 years ago this month. Seven thousand were Union troops ordered by General Ulysses S. Grant to charge entrenched Confederate troops under General Robert E. Lee. The folly became known as “Grant’s Slaughter Pen.” Union Captain Asa Bartlett later wrote, “It was the greatest and most inexcusable slaughter of the whole war.” Grant had hoped to shorten the war by defeating Lee at Cold Harbor and then taking the Confederate capital, Richmond, 12 miles away. But, it was not to be. Lee’s smaller army of 62,000 troops outmaneuvered Grant’s force of 108,000. In the ensuing two weeks, 12,000 Union soldiers were killed, wounded or captured while Confederate losses totaled 4,000. Grant was forced to retreat. One unit that fought with distinction at Cold Harbor was Battery H First Ohio Light Artillery. It was comprised of 265 soldiers, 137 from Northwest Ohio. After the war, instead of erecting a stone monument to honor their comrades, these veterans commissioned famous artist Gilbert Gaul to depict their work at Cold Harbor. The painting won a bronze medal at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 and the next year, Ohio Governor and future President William McKinley unveiled the five-by-eight-foot painting at the Toledo Soldiers Memorial Building, its new home. After the building was razed in 1955, the painting was briefly displayed at the Toledo Museum of Art and later at the Toledo Zoo before it was relegated to a basement vault. In 1990, the painting was entrusted, along with other Civil War artifacts, to the Oregon Jerusalem Historical Society. The historical society first realized the importance of its treasure in 1993 when the Tennessee State Museum held an exhibition of 56 Gaul paintings. The society loaned the painting to the museum and it was seen by more than 20,000 visitors. Since then, a print of the painting has been featured in the motor tour of 11 battlefield sites in the Richmond National Battlefield Park. In spring of 2015, the painting will be on loan to the Toledo Museum of Art and serve as a focal point for a three-month long exhibit on the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War, according to Connie Isbell, president of the historical society. Isbell welcomes the opportunity to share the painting and the history of Battery H with a larger audience. Kelly Garrrow, director of communications for the Toledo Museum, said the painting is “one of the finest examples of a battle scene.” It is also important because of its local ties. Battery H saw action at other significant battles including Union victories at Petersburg and Gettysburg. So why did the men choose to depict a losing battle for posterity? David Brown, the great grandson of one Battery H veteran, Irenius Agustus Geren, has his ideas. The Port Clinton resident and former television news producer has walked every battlefield in which Battery H saw service. He’s studied the battles for a DVD he hopes to produce. He thinks the men chose Cold Harbor because of the pre-
cision the unit displayed under trying circumstances. Battery H had emerged from the crossroads, spotted the enemy and set up on a low ridge to fire over an open field into Confederate lines. “They were able to gallop into battle right now and they were the first onto the field,” Brown said. “They were in action before the infantry was.” That’s what the Gaul painting depicts, he says. It’s not a snapshot in time. It’s more like a movie which shows the progression from galloping down the hill to firing the cannon. Brown, who has viewed the painting numerous times, believes his great grandfather is the man wearing the bandana standing in the center of the painting.

Mike Payden, a Northwood resident and Captain of the Battery H reenactment unit agrees with Brown’s theory. “They fired more rounds there than they did anywhere (940 rounds by one estimate). They had the whole battery functioning pretty well perfectly. It’s amazing there weren’t more men killed there than there was. It’s pretty much open.” Only one Battery H soldier was killed. A more detailed description of the battle was written in 1918 for the Marietta Sunday Observer. Battery H veteran William Parmelee, a Toledoan, wrote, “It was a very hot day. We were so tired, sand was deep, dust very thick. All were about ready to drop when dare-devil Custer (George Armstrong Custer), with staff and escort passed us. Men and horses showed hard riding. “Custer waved his cowboy hat, shouting ‘push on boys, you are needed at the front!’ “Push on we did, soon reaching Cold Harbor cross roads to find a thin line of cowboys holding off a line of infantry that soon came for us before the Corps is all in line of battle. “It was an all round hot place. One of the few times the boys working at the muzzle of the guns bleed at nose and ears from the concussion and heat.” The memory of these brave men is kept alive by the Gaul painting, which can be viewed at Brandville School, home of the Oregon Jerusalem Historical Society. Also in the book First Ohio Light Artillery Battery H: The James Barnett papers by Edward C. Browne, Jr. and by Payden’s re-enactors. Payden has been involved in reenactments for 23 years, most recently this past weekend at the Muster on the Maumee. You can see his re-enactors bring history alive
July 29 at the James McPherson House in Clyde, the Luckey festival, September 2728 and the Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont on October 4 and 5. The group fires an original 1862 artillery piece with a six-foot, 816-pound barrel capable of launching a 10-pound projectile two-and-a-half miles. The piece is authentic. So too is the sound. So much so, that when the director of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, wanted the authentic sound of cannon fire, he sent a crew from Skywalker Sound to Carey Ohio to record Battery H firing its cannon. Payden said the sound crew was here for seven hours while Battery H spent 20 pounds of powder firing its gun over a quarry. Neither the gun, nor the men were seen in the movie, just the sound.

Batting .506, high baseball IQ gets Kohler All-Ohio By Mark Griffin and J. Patrick Eaken sports@presspublications.com
2014 Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Baseball
Even more awards Kohler was also named first-team All Ohio by the Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association, while Cantrell, Gibsonburg’s senior first baseman, was a second-team selection. Kohler was also selected to play in the Ohio Mizuno AllStar Series this weekend at Ohio State. The Mizuno Series consists of the top 80 seniors in Ohio in any division. “Sam is very competitive and he’s a baseball guy,” said Gibsonburg coach Kyle Rase, who was named the TAAC Coach of the Year. “He has a very high baseball IQ. He watches a lot of baseball. You don’t find a lot of kids with the baseball IQ he has, along with Andrew Cantrell. He’s a vocal leader. He’ll say what he needs to say. He’ll work hard when we do drills, and he’s going to do what he needs to do to get better.” Kohler, a catcher for three years in high school, was moved to third base for his senior season. A year after batting .338, he hit .506 (43-for-85) in 2014, with five triples, nine doubles, 29 singles, 50 runs and 35 RBI from the No. 2 spot in the order. He also walked 14 times. Kohler finished his career with singleseason school records for runs and hits. His 111 career runs is also a school record. “I thought .506 was a great accom-

I had good guys to play with who made it fun and we have a great coaching staff...
“
Gibsonburg senior third baseman Sam Kohler helped the Golden Bears to a schoolrecord 23 wins this season, earned All-Ohio honors in Division IV and was voted the Toledo Area Athletic Conference’s Player of the Year. Kohler batted .506 this season and graduated with honors, and he has a high school diploma in his hands. Still, he said something’s missing in his high school career. “My sophomore year, we went to the district finals and played HopewellLoudon,” said Kohler, a four-year starter. “They were ranked first in the state, and we beat them. I figured we’d go to state the next year. Junior year, we got beat in the district semifinals by McComb. Senior year, we wanted to get to the regional finals or state, and we never got it. That’s one thing that’s missing, getting to Columbus.” Kohler has been the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Offensive Player of the Year. Lake coach Greg Wilker is Coach of the Year after the Flyers won a Northern Buckeye Conference championship and reached the Division III regional tournament. Others receiving votes were Eastwood coach Kevin Leady, Cardinal Stritch Catholic coach Craig Meinzer, and Gibsonburg coach Kyle Rase. Lake pitcher Jayce Vancena, who will have to choose between playing professionally after being drafted or playing collegiately at the University of Michigan, where he has signed his national letter of intent, was unanimously voted Pitcher of the Year. Vancena is the first player from any All-Press voting ever to win a top honor unanimously from 10 area coaches and media members. Kohler’s vote for Offensive POY, however, was not unanimous. Also receiving votes was Lake junior shortstop Connor Bowen, the NBC Player of the Year, Genoa senior first baseman Logan Scott, Northwood junior catcher Myles Habel, and Clay junior shortstop Ryan Fournier.
plishment,” Kohler said. “I made contact and just tried to do the little things. I scored a lot of runs this year and I was on the bases a lot. I thought I was pretty solid at third; I didn’t have too many errors.” Kohler said earning first-team all-state honors never seemed like a possibility four years ago, and he was “very surprised” to gain that recognition this season. “I put it all together my senior year,” he said. “I had good guys to play with who made it fun, and we have a great coaching staff in coach Rase and coach (Kirk) Katafias, who gave me confidence. I caught my first three years, and this year I played third. I knew I was a good catcher but I knew the move would help the team, and that was most important. I think I picked it up pretty well.” Kohler said he felt humbled when he learned that he had been chosen TAAC Player of the Year. He figured Toledo Christian pitcher Dakota Brown would nab that honor. The Eagles beat Gibsonburg in the district semifinals. “He was by far the best pitcher we saw and he was a good hitter, so I thought he’d get it,” Kohler said of Brown. “I wasn’t expecting to get it. I wasn’t paying much at-

tention to it.” Kohler added that he and Cantrell didn’t make any friendly bets as to who would have the better senior season offensively. “He’s my best friend,” Kohler said. “We’ve been close ever since we were in diapers. Our goal besides getting to state was, if you get All-Ohio you get a plaque on the wall at school. We wanted to leave our mark on the program and we just wanted to get our plaque on the wall.” Kohler, 18, plans to enroll at Terra State Community College in Fremont for two years and then study sports management at Bowling Green State University. Cantrell, a first team All-Press infielder, earned second-team All-Ohio honors after batting .400 with 48 RBI, 37 runs, two triples and 14 doubles. A four-year starter, he owns school career records for most RBI in a season (48) and most in a career (114), and he holds the school record for career hits (112).
Cantrell said he is most proud of the career hits mark. “As a freshman I was looking into the school record books at the end of the year, and I always wanted to see my name,” he said. “I thought having the most hits would be the coolest thing ever. I’m blessed to have that accomplishment.” Cantrell, who earned first-team AllTAAC selection as a junior and senior, confirmed that he and Kohler made it their mission to get All-Ohio recognition as seniors. “We wanted a plaque in the hall,” Cantrell said. “I told Sam we have to be All-Ohioans and he said we have to try and reach for it. When coach Rase told me, I wouldn’t say I was shocked but I was caught up in the moment that I got second team. I was very excited. My first thing was to call Sam, and he told me his news.” Cantrell also intends to study at Terra for two years and then major in education at BGSU.

Stritch grad finds success in second year with Titans By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Second-year St. John’s Jesuit baseball coach Greg Christian had something of his own Dream Team this season. Christian, the winningest baseball coach in Cardinal Stritch Catholic history, led the Titans to a 23-3 record and a 10-0 mark in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference. He was named the TRAC Coach of the Year. “We fully expected to have a very good team,” said Christian, an Oregon resident and 1977 Stritch grad, whose first St. John’s team went 19-10 and 6-4 in the TRAC last season. “We never really looked at our schedule and put a win here or a win there. We had great senior leadership. These kids got along more and cared about each other more than any team I’ve coached. They would pick each other up when they needed it. Our philosophy was, you’d be surprised by what you can get accomplished when you don’t care who gets the credit. It was a team-oriented team and something special.” The Titans won the regular season and tournament TRAC titles and beat rival St. Francis de Sales three times, including in the TRAC tournament championship game. St. John’s had 11 seniors on the roster and six started, including three senior pitchers. Christian said his top four pitchers had a 21-1 record and contributed to the team’s 1.06 ERA. The Titans put three players on the all-conference first team and five on the second team. “We were set up for a good tournament run,” Christian said. “I would have loved to play everybody on back-to-back-to back nights.” St. John’s lost to Southview, 2-1, in the Division I district finals, squashing Christian’s bid to get his first team to the state final four. He coached at Stritch for 15 years. “We thought we had good chemistry and a good setup to get there, with our starting pitching,” Christian said. “We knew if we got out of the district, we’d have a great shot (at state). We knew the district

would be tough, with all the good teams in there. We left 12 guys on base against Southview and it was a well-played game.” The Titans hit .384 as a team (.436 against TRAC opponents) and averaged eight runs a game. Their only other losses were to top-ranked Walsh Jesuit, 6-5 in nine innings, and to Orchard Lake St. Mary’s (Mich.), 10-8, in the second game of a doubleheader. Christian’s squad won three TRAC tournament games after the district finals loss to Southview. “Winning the TRAC was one of our goals, and the other was to win the district championship,” Christian said. “We reeled off three big wins in the TRAC tournament
after we lost in the district, after the seniors had already graduated. That was a great testament to their heart and desire and dedication on what they wanted to do.
They wanted to go out on a good note. If we had not won the TRAC, I know 18 kids and five coaches would have felt like we failed this year.” Titans senior second baseman Ethan Kirkman, who lives in Oregon, earned honorable mention All-TRAC honors this season after starting part-time as a junior. “Ethan ended up getting our Coaches’ Award,” Christian said. “He’s very coachable and he’ll go above and beyond helping anyone out. He might be a coach some day. He has that mentality. He never took a play off, at the plate or in the field. He’s a very hard worker and a smart kid. He’s a coach’s dream to have. The first one at practice and the last to leave.”

A.J. Achter getting close — waiting for call to Majors By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com A.J. Achter was looking forward to getting in some relief work Tuesday night for the Rochester Red Wings of the Triple A International League. Achter never knows when he’ll get on the mound – no relief pitcher does – but nights like this are particularly frustrating. The Red Wings’ game against Pawtucket in Rochester, N.Y., was suspended after just a couple of innings. “That means we have to play a doubleheader (on Wednesday), starting at 5 p.m.,” said Achter, 25, a Clay grad. “It’s disappointing, but we know you have to get all of the game in. It’s frustrating.” All of Rochester’s night games have a 7:05 start, so Achter and his teammates have plenty of free time during the day. Here is one day in the life of A.J. Achter: “Wake up about 8:30 or 9, get some breakfast and sit around, read a book or something and grab some lunch,” he said. “Hit the field about 1:30 or 2. Get some running in and maybe do some sort of lifting. Shag batting practice and sit around until the game starts. Maybe it’s your chance to throw. If not, you wait until the next game.” The Red Wings are the Triple A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, and Achter knows he could get called up to the big leagues at any time. “You really never know if you’re going to be in there or not,” Achter said. “You have to come to the park every day and have a routine and do the same thing every day. As a starter, you know you’re going to get the ball every four or five days. As a reliever, you could go back-to-back days.” The 6-foot-5, 212-pound Achter, a
A.J. Achter (Clay/ Michigan State), now with Triple A Rochester, while pitching for the Beloit Snappers. (Press file photo) right-hander, started the 2014 season with one of his former teams, the New Britain Rock Cats of the Eastern League. He appeared in three games, notching one save in 6.2 innings and allowing no runs on three hits, with 11 strikeouts and one walk. “I spent the last two months in Rochester last year,” Achter said. “Coming into spring training this year I thought I had a pretty good chance to start here. It’s a trickle-down with the big-league teams. Some guys were expected to make that team (in this case the Twins) or get traded, and they didn’t, so they were pushed down to Triple A, which put me in Double A. I was in Double A for 10 days and an injury
happened (in Rochester) and I got called up here. I’ve been here ever since.” Achter got called up on April 10 and has performed well. As of his last appearance, on June 14, Achter (2-2) had appeared in 18 games and had four saves and a 1.38 ERA in 32.2 innings, allowing five runs (all earned) on 13 hits. He had 31 strikeouts and just seven walks, and opponents were hitting .120 against him. “Obviously there was a lot of disappointment out of spring training, not making the team,” Achter said. “For me to go out and perform well my first few outings and to be rewarded with this felt pretty good. I felt this is where I belonged all
along. The business side of it pushed me down. It’s good to get back here and perform like I know I can.” A year ago Achter pitched 23.2 innings for the Red Wings and had a 1-2 record with a 3.04 ERA in 16 games. He said he feels more comfortable on the mound with Rochester this season. “My mindset is a lot better, as far as attacking hitters,” he said. “I’m pretty much just throwing strikes with all of my pitches. My walks are down, and that in turn just makes it a lot easier on myself to keep guys from scoring and helping the team win. I’m not a big ground ball pitcher. I’m more of a fly ball guy, and I’ve been getting outs by mixing up my pitches.” Achter said Rochester manager Gene Glynn and pitching coach Marty Mason pretty much allow Achter to do his own thing on the rubber. “It’s such a long season, so there’s not so much constant feedback,” Achter said. “No matter what the situation is, the manager is comfortable putting me in. I’ve done everything from three innings to one inning. I know he has confidence in me and he knows what he’s going to get out of me. Same thing with our pitching coach. He doesn’t try to mess with me too much.” Achter said he keeps an eye on how the parent club in Minnesota does on a nightly basis. “I’ve become friends with several guys up there,” Achter said. “It stinks that the business of this game is the only way you get called up is if someone does bad or if they get hurt. You never wish that on someone. (Minnesota) went out and spent a lot of money on pitching in the offseason. Hopefully it pays off.” Achter was able to live out a dream when he took the mound against the Toledo Mud Hens at Fifth Third Field on May 11.
Dave Quiroga recognized for putting in the time, effort David Quiroga should be used to being recognized via his affiliation with Waite High School. As a junior in 2002, the then-catcher was named All-City League after helping coach Danny Clayton’s Indians knock off St. John’s Jesuit for the league championship. He earned CL Co-Player of the Year honors as a senior in 2003. Quiroga just finished his fifth season as Waite’s varsity baseball coach, and he’s got the Indians on the right track. That’s not him saying it but the rest of the CL coaches, who voted Quiroga as this year’s CL Coach of the Year. The Indians finished 9-16 and 7-4 in the league and made the CL final four tournament before losing to Bowsher, 5-2. Waite finished 6-18 (6-4 CL) a year ago with a junior-dominated lineup. “It was nice to know that other people are seeing all the time I was putting in — enough for my girlfriend to be mad at me,” Quiroga said of winning the award. “I was a little shocked, humbled, surprised. It was definitely a nice honor from my fellow coaches.” The Indians were close in a few of their losses, including losses to Start, which beat Bowsher for the league title, and Three Rivers Athletic Conference runner-up St. Francis de Sales. Waite beat Bowsher, 5-4, during the regular season. “St. Francis was probably one of the
The Press Box top three games we played this year,” Quiroga said of the 5-3 loss. “We lost to Bowsher in the final-four game, 5-2, and we were up 2-1 going into the sixth.” Quiroga said he found out he’d won the coach of the year award during a league meeting at the end of the season. The last Waite Dave Quiroga coach to earn that honor was Clayton in 2002. “I just think (the coaches) saw we actually worked and there was time being put in,” Quiroga said. “We just worked hard and busted out butts. I was hoping for more wins, obviously, and it seemed like (the players) did, too. I always hope for more. I was happy with the nine (wins), which was two more than the previous year. We put in

a good season.” The Indians had one first-team AllCL selection in senior utility player Tony Smith, who will play football at Ohio Northern University this fall. Smith, who also made first team alldistrict, batted a team-high .362 with 26 runs, 15 RBI, two doubles and one home run, the only one Waite hit in 2014. Smith, a four-year varsity letterman, got the pitching decision in the Indians’ win over Bowsher, and he also played catcher and shortstop this spring. “Every year he seemed to learn something new,” Quiroga said. “He constantly improved his game and worked hard at it. He was also a varsity football player and he’s a real good kid.” Waite’s second team All-CL selections were senior second baseman/pitcher Josh Smenner, senior first baseman/pitcher Joe Fix III, junior first baseman/catcher Nick Jensen and sophomore outfielder/pitcher Brandon Wagner. The Indians graduate eight seniors off this year’s team. “We have a lot of work to do,” Quiroga said. “We’ll have a lot of inexperience next season using a lot of the young jayvee kids.” (— by Press contributing writer Mark Griffin)

Local golfers get back-to-back aces at Hidden Hills By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com The odds of getting struck by lightning are probably lower than what occurred June 5-6 at Hidden Hills Golf Club in Woodville. Two men. Same par-3 hole. Same iron. First career hole-in-one. Same golf course. One day apart. Rossford resident Harry Thompson, a two-time club champion at Hidden Hills in the late 1980s, was the first to do it. He was playing the 5,305-yard white tees on Thursday, June 5 when he aced the par-3, 171-yard No. 16 hole at Hidden Hills using a 5-iron. “The wind was coming from the right, and I was into the wind a little,” said Thompson, 56. “I hit the shot and saw the ball. It hit right in front of the green, or just a little short. It just kept rolling. I saw it go in and thought, ‘holy crap.’ It was in the morning, and I was just out playing by myself.” Woodville resident Jordan Shaw, a 2006 Woodmore graduate, followed with a hole-in-one on Friday, June 6. He also used a 5-iron on the same hole, and it was the first ace of his young career. Shaw was also playing the white tees. “It was in the afternoon and I was playing with my fiance (Airyele Held),” Shaw said. “That was her second time ever golfing, so that was pretty cool. I was aiming right for the flag, going down the middle. There was no more than a 5 mph wind, and I kept it kind of low. I didn’t want to hit a high shot.” Shaw said he thought he’d hit his Taylor Made ball too hard – until it hit the green. “I said, ‘did that just go in the hole?’ ” Shaw recalled. “The ball just vanished. I figured the way I hit it, low, we would have heard it hit the flag or something. We didn’t hear anything. There were guys teeing off at 17, and one of those guys (Ed Carr) signed the paper as my witness.” As Thompson stated, he was playing solo on June 5 but he swears his hole-inone was the real deal. He finished his round with a 2-over 74 on his home course.
Woodville resident Jordan Shaw (left) and Rossford resident Harry Thompson, a Clay grad, aced the same hole on back-toback days. “I’m a pretty good golfer, above average” said Thompson, a 1976 Clay grad. “I don’t really keep a handicap, but I usually shoot 5 or 6 over par.” Thompson said he told club manager Cindy Reinhart about his ace following his round, but he didn’t make a big deal of it. “I told her, ‘I just hit one in,’ ” Thompson said. “The reason I love golf is the integrity. That’s why Jack Nicklaus is my favorite golfer. He had so much integrity and he never says anything bad about anybody else. He never throws clubs on the

course, and I love the way his lifestyle is.” Thompson said the last time he witnessed a hole-in-one was three years ago when he saw his brother, Brent, shoot an ace at Crosswinds Golf Club in Perrysburg. “You hit enough good shots and eventually something’s going to go in,” Thompson said. “I played in a scramble three years ago at Tanglewood and I hit a double eagle on a par-5. Those are probably more rare than a hole-in-one.” Thompson, who has been golfing competitively for about 30 years, said the ball
he used for his ace, a Nike Two, is resting in the top part of his golf bag. “Nothing else is in there except that golf ball,” Thompson said. “I will never use that ball again. Sentimental reasons.” Shaw, 26, said he was not aware that Thompson aced the same hole a day earlier, and he has no ties to Carr, who witnessed Shaw’s big shot. Shaw, who played football and baseball at Woodmore, finished his round with an 8-over 80 on June 6. “My biggest regret is not golfing in high school,” he said. “I always wanted to play football (in the fall) instead of golf. My sport was baseball. My dad (Marvin), grandma, grandpa, uncle, just about everyone on my dad’s side played golf. My dad still plays. He and my grandpa (also named Marvin) and grandma (Thelma) were club champions at Hidden Hills.” An interesting side note to Shaw’s feat was that it was his first time on any golf course this season. And, his fiance just happened to be there. “She said, ‘You ever had a hole-in-one before?’ ” Shaw said. “I said, ‘to be honest, that’s the first time I’ve ever been close to having one.’ I’ve been on the green, but nowhere within five feet of the cup.” Shaw said he debated whether or not to tell anyone back at the clubhouse that he’d just shot his first ace. “I wasn’t going to say anything,” Shaw said. “I figured it had to be in a league (to get recognized). I went in the clubhouse and those guys (Carr’s group) happened to be there and they said, ‘There’s the guy who hit the hole-in-one.’ (Carr) said, ‘Tell them, and I’ll put my name down as a witness that I saw it.’ ” Shaw said he called his dad soon after he aced the 16th hole. “I drove to the 17th tee and called my dad right away,” Shaw said. “He said, ‘No way!’ I was so excited, he could hear it in my voice. He’s been golfing for a long time and is a really good golfer, and he’s never had one.” Shaw said he intends to keep using the same ball. “Maybe,” he said, “it will bring me some luck.”

Radio personality Jim “Brady” Felton – aka Jim Brady, Mark Richards, Scott Brady and Chuck Brady, died June 5 after a five-year battle with cancer. He was 67. Felton (real name) was born in Toledo, Aug. 21, 1946. While still a student at Devilbiss High School, he saw longtime Toledo DJ Fred Mitchell doing a remote radio broadcast from a furniture store. Felton asked, “You can make a living doing this?” Mitchell responded, “Yeah, you can do alright.” From that point forward a radio broadcasting career was born. In 1963, Felton started working in radio at the former WTOL Radio, now WCWA, while still in high school. In January 1967, he moved to Ft. Wayne, Indiana to work at WLYV. A year later he found himself at CKLW, The Big-8 in Windsor, Ontario as Mark Richards, where he had the honor of meeting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Subsequently, Felton returned to WCWA to work as the morning air personality, and his career took him to Montreal, Louisville, Toronto, Los Angeles and Dallas-Fort Worth before returning to Toledo in 1996, where he worked at WRVF, WCWA, and WRQN. He retired from radio June 30, 2008 from WRQN. In his retirement he remained active,
