Ruling on Eastwood lawsuit expected By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Whether or not the plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the Eastwood school board have legal standing in the case is one of the first issues being addressed in the suit filed in April. Wood County Common Pleas Court Judge Alan Mayberry is expected to rule soon on the matter, Andrew Mayle, attorney for Victor and Eileen Schuerman and Karl Offerman, all of Pemberville, said last week. The residents are challenging a decision by the school board to proceed with a construction agreement for a new elementary school building on the district’s main campus. The board entered into an agreement with the Ohio School Facilities Commission in March to fund construction costs - with Eastwood obligated to provide about $12.5 million and the OSFC to pay about $7 million. The OSFC is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit, which asks for an injunction to stop the project, contending the agreement circumvents state law. The school board voted last June to place a bond issue on the November 2014

Oregon City Council on Monday approved the purchase of three city vehicles from Mathews Ford. The city bought from Mathews two 2015 Ford F150 extended cab trucks for the city’s Building and Zoning Department for $55,876, and a 2015 Ford F150 extended cab truck for the Department of Public Service for $27,938. Mathews Ford provided a quote that was $3,826.50 lower than the U.S. General Services Administration purchase program of $31,764.50 for each vehicle purchased for the Building and Zoning Department, according to James Gilmore, commissioner of building and zoning. The vehicles will replace two 2008 Chevy Colorado pick-up trucks that will be offered to other city departments, on the city’s auction site or traded in, according to Gilmore. Funds to pay for the vehicles were included in the city’s 2015 budget. “Mathews beat the state bid price,” said Mayor Mike Seferian. “It was something we had foreseen in the budget.” Administrator Mike Beazley said the vehicles needed to be replaced. “We did discuss both of these items at length during the budget process. It is time. The vehicles are just hanging together. We felt good pairing together with the public service department,” said Beazley. Councilmen James Seaman and Joshua Hughes expressed support for paying local merchants to provide goods and services to the city. “I feel very good about being able to use a local vendor like Mathews Ford,” said Seaman. Hughes earlier this year raised the issue of whether the city should give priority to local vendors when council approved the purchase of four new police vehicles from a dealership in Lebanon, Ohio, even though it had submitted the lowest bid. “I do recall discussing both of these purchases during our budget hearings,” said Hughes. “I concur with Mr. Seaman’s point. It’s always good when we can use a local vendor.” “We’re trying to do things in the next

ballot to fund its project share but opted in September to remove the issue after deciding the district could instead use property tax revenues from a Troy Energy facility and payments from a tax abatement agreement with Home Depot. Combined, the two revenue streams are expected to generate about $1.275 million a year. The board also planned to use a $1.5 million carry-over in the general fund as a down payment and to borrow the balance. The lawsuit argues the board didn’t approve resolutions required by state law stipulating it is unable to build adequate

classroom facilities without state assistance. “The state and the district have no authority to make an agreement… unless Eastwood declares its eligibility and is eligible, which it is not,” the lawsuit says. Around the time of the decision to withdraw the ballot issue, the lawsuit says, the board and superintendent Brent Welker proceeded on a plan to sell certificates of participation that would entail leasing the new building to Buckeye Leasing Services, which would then sub-lease the building back to the district. Buckeye Leasing is another defendant in the lawsuit. It’s a non-profit corporation affiliated with Bricker & Eckler, a law firm many school districts retain as their bond counsel. According to the lawsuit, then executive director of the OSFC, Richard Hickman, emailed Welker on Sept. 5 stating the commission “…does not believe there is specific authority for the use of COPS (certificates of participation) by the district to fund its local share.” Despite Hickman’s statement, the commission agreed to let the project proceed, subject to certain conditions, including a stipulation that approval of Eastwood’s

Toledo refinery Summer Special owner buys La. facility By Press Staff Writer The purchase of a refinery near New Orleans, Louisiana will diversify PBF Energy’s asset base geographically and increase total capacity to more than 725,000 barrels per day, an executive with the company said last week. PBF is the parent company of refineries in Toledo (formerly Sun Oil), Delaware City, Delaware, and Paulsboro, New Jersey. The company has announced it reached an agreement to purchase the Chalmette Refining, LLC, including the refinery with a 189,000-barrel per day capacity and other assets from ExxonMobil and PDV Chalmette, LLC. The purchase price is $322 million plus working capital such as inventory to be valued at closing. “The acquisition of the Chalmette Refinery, and its associated logistics assets, represents a significant step in the strategic growth of PBF Energy and PBF Logistics,” said Tom Nimbley, Chief Executive Officer of PBF Energy. “Upon completion, we will have increased our refining capacity by 35 percent and added meaningful Gulf Coast assets to our businesses. We will have operations in the Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent (Toledo) and East Coast and have diversified and increased our commercial footprint and flexibility. The Chalmette Refinery can process both light and heavy crude oil. The purchase also includes complete ownership of the MOEM Pipeline and 80 percent owners in each of the Collins Pipeline Co. and T&M Terminal Co., both located in Collins, Mississippi. The company acquired the Toledo refinery in 2011. Toledo unit back on-line Olivia Summons, a spokesperson for PBF’s Toledo Refinery, said the refinery’s fluid catalytic cracking unit is again operating. The company in late May announced the unit was shut down due to a compressor malfunction and was expected to be out of service for two to three weeks. In the interim, the refinery continued to operate its unaffected units at reduced rates. It projected total output throughout the second quarter to be about 130,000 to 140,000 barrels per day. For the year, the refinery is expected to process 145,000 to 155,000 barrels per day.

Eastwood Continued from front page plan “cannot be considered precedent,” the lawsuit says. Attorneys for the district have filed to have the case dismissed and block the plantiffs’ request for an injunction to stop the project. During a town hall forum last September, the board’s plan to finance its share without additional tax revenues drew ardent support and opposition from residents. Opponents said the matter should be decided by voters while those supporting it said a new school is needed and Eastwood’s financial condition allowing it to build without more taxes was something other districts would envy. Eastwood voters have rejected two previous bond issues for constructing a new elementary school. In response to residents at the forum saying the matter should be decided by a vote, Welker said the administration received an opinion from the Wood County Board of Elections that school districts don’t have the authority to place referendum issues on the ballot. Consequently, a ballot issue would have to include a request for millage and he feared it would confuse voters.

Mathews Continued from front page couple of years that would not add to our operations cost,” said Seferian. “This is a capital expense, and traditionally, in the department of building and zoning, we can expect to see those vehicles in the fleet for 10 plus years. So we once again secured future costs without adding to our operations cost.”

Group will conduct study for Oregon Fire Dept. By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Ohio Fire Chiefs’ Association will be conducting a risk analysis and fire station study for the Oregon Fire and Rescue Department. Oregon council at a meeting on June 22 approved a $16,000 contract with the Ohio Fire Chiefs’ Association, of Worthington, Ohio, to do the analysis and study. The Association helps fire and EMS agencies in the state find solutions to problems and helps improve local service delivery. The fire department is requesting the study of the fire and EMS delivery system to provide a detailed analysis of current department performance and determine longrange needs regarding fire station location and resource deployment. The city is facing an increasing demand for services and anticipating the need to replace an aging facility and apparatus. The areas of the study will include: • Review service delivery. An analyses of run data versus national and state criteria and best practices will be conducted to determine the current level of performance in the community, including response times and appropriate number and types of resources based on the level of risk; • Risk analysis. Surveys will be completed of commercial and industrial properties and multi-family occupancies along with natural hazards within the city. Water supply and distribution will also be examined to determine the level of risk and hazard potential in the response area. Projected land use, population growth and its impact on service demand and proposed infrastructure will be analyzed; • Fire station location analysis. GIS mapping of the city will be used in conjunction with state of the art software to determine travel and response times to all areas of the department’s response area based on current fire station locations. In addition, the current conditions of all three fire stations will be examined. The analysis will include the feasibility of whether the stations need to be renovated or replaced. Changing times Councilman Tim Zale, who is chairman of the city’s Safety Committee, said the analysis and study are needed. “Our city has changed a lot,” Zale said at the meeting. “I think it’s time to get a different perspective on what our long range needs might be for the city. I think we can all sit here and say we can decide how many fire stations we think we need and where we think they need to be. But maybe we should get a different perspective and actually see, with the changing times the city’s having right now, what’s best.” Councilman James Seaman agreed. However, he said the city would not be bound by any recommendations made by the Ohio Fire Chiefs’ Association’s in the group’s final report to the city.

“I think this is a good idea to get input from the Ohio Fire Chiefs’ Association. But it’s not an absolute bible we must follow. Input from a local level mixed with their input I think will come to a very logical and positive decision for our community,” said Seaman. Fire Chief Paul Mullen agreed. “That’s exactly how this whole thing will be orchestrated and be put together,” said Mullen. “They’ll take input from our firefighters, take input from our chiefs, take input from both Mark and myself, along with the input they get from looking through our fire house reports and incidents, and how we operate our the fire department. What they’ll come up with is a consensus on what their beliefs are and what the best practices are. And it will be up to this governing body here to make the decision on whether we act on some of those or we continue to run as we do today.” Turn-out gear Council also approved other purchases for the fire department, including new turn-out gear for personnel and pumpers. The new lightweight, state of the art turnout gear will be safer than the aging turnout gear currently being used. Phoenix Safety Outfitters, of Upper Arlington, Ohio, will provide the new gear for $320,000.

Ukranianian delegation visit

An Open World delegation from Ukraine arrived in Toledo recently for a week long program to promote understanding between young Ukrainian environmental leaders and their counterparts in Northwest Ohio. The delegates also explored public and private partnership practices in energy efficiency and were given a firsthand look at the American system of democracy and free enterprise. They also met with local leaders to discuss other issues such as human–trafficking prevention and young leadership development. Hosted by the Great Lakes Consortium with WSOS Community Action in Northwest Ohio, the visit included a trip to Put-in-Bay, the Toledo Art Museum, and a reception at the Hungarian Club of Toledo.

“Remembrance” Inc. is requesting the help of the community to complete its current mission. On July 4 at 6 p.m., the organization will unveil the Iraq, Korea, and Spanish American war plaques to its existing Military Memorial Pathway on Summit Street, just south of the lighthouse before Point Place. The Military Memorial Pathway was established with the placement of the Medal of Honor plaque, which was dedicated on Memorial Day this year. The Vietnam memorial plaque was dedicated Sept. 11, 2014. In addition, in 2012, Remembrance, Inc. donated the POW/MIA flags that fly at the City of Toledo government buildings. In 2013, the organization was responsible for amending the plaque to include the missing names on the Lucas County War Memorial located by the police station in downtown Toledo. The non-profit raises funds from donations from individuals and local businesses, and by setting up informational/outreach booths at local events. To make a donation or learn more about sponsorship opportunities for the event, call Chairman Nick Haupricht at 419-270-2655 or email hauprichtn@gmail.com.

Councilwoman Kathy Pollauf thanked assistant fire chief Mark Mullins and fire department Lieutenant Chris Mullins for showing her the gear. “I feel very strongly about this being needed,” she said. Councilman Joshua Hughes agreed. “I think it’s imperative that we provide our employees, whether they’re firefighters or other employees, with optimal working conditions,” he said. “And this new turnout gear will do just that. It will serve to be effective and keep them safe.” Councilman Jerry Peach said he was also impressed with the high quality and flexibility of the new gear. “I think all members of council were very keen on making sure firefighters got the equipment they need to keep them safe,” he said. Council also approved the purchase of two Pierce Imperial side mount rescue pumpers from Finley Fire Equipment, McConnelsville, Ohio, for $600,000. The pumpers replace aging pumpers currently being used as front line pumpers by the department. The new pumpers will have a greater reliability and safety factor for the community. “They are all major purchases,” said Zale. “They were all very necessary. We need to keep the fire and police department well equipped, ready to go at all times.”

Trip to Washington, D.C. a “dream come true” for area man For the first time in his 88 years, Perrysburg Commons resident Albert White boarded a jet plane June 4. He, along with 71 other veterans, was chosen to travel with Flag City Honor Flight to Washington D.C. to tour several landmarks. The trip was arranged through HCR ManorCare’s Heart’s Desire program, which gives residents a chance to fulfill their wishes with the helpful planning and support from staff and surrounding community. Drafted at age 18 to serve in World War II, White served in the Navy and was stationed in the Philippines. “There were a lot of good and bad times,” he recalled. “There were many nights I had to sleep with a life jacket on. I lost a lot of my hearing due to the noise. The only protection we were given back then for our ears were cotton balls. The gun fire was so loud at times the cotton would jolt out of my ears.” “The staff at Perrysburg Commons is always looking for ‘special’ things to do for our residents through HCR ManorCare’s Heart’s Desire program,” said Kelly Ebersbach, executive director at Perrysburg Commons. “We started planning this for Albert four months ago. It’s the least we can do for a gentleman who put his life on hold, and who served our country for 48 months.”

Grant received

Emergency water link to be studied By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Northwestern Water and Sewer District has received a grant to study the feasibility of establishing an emergency water connection to service customers in the event of a consumption ban like that issued by the City of Toledo last August. The grant for $50,000 was issued through the Local Government Innovation Program of the Ohio Development Services Agency. During the ban, district personnel discussed how to construct an emergency link from the City of Perrysburg’s water system, which receives water from Toledo, to the Bowling Green system. The district purchases Toledo water for its customers in the northwest portion of Wood County – with most of those customers located west of I-280. Most of the customers to the east receive water from the City of Oregon, which, like Bowling Green, wasn’t affected by Toledo’s water advisory. During the ban, the district had started plans on a temporary connection to provide parts of Perrysburg with potable water from the Bowling Green treatment plant. Shortly after the advisory ended, Tom Stalter, a district engineer, said ideas for the temporary link had included some above ground pipe and connections between hydrants but there were liability questions as well as engineering issues to surmount. “With this funding we’ll look at the feasibility as well as the technical, legal and administrative issues,” he said last week. About 7,000 district customers were affected by the emergency triggered by Toledo’s water being contaminated with microcystin toxin, a product of algae blooms on Lake Erie. Eastwood project The district’s board of trustees recently approved a contract with Poggemeyer Design Group to design a sanitary sewer pump station for the main campus of the Eastwood School District on Sugar Ridge Road. The contract is for $56,650. Stalter said the station would replace an aging system. Projected construction costs for the new station and sewer line are approximately $880,000.

School board readying for November levy By Press Staff Writer After an extensive campaign in the spring to promote additional millage as well as a renewal issue on the May ballot, the Genoa school board is turning its attention to the fall. The board’s finance committee is recommending the full board begin the process of placing a 3.9-mill renewal levy on the ballot in November, Bill Nye, district treasurer, said. The levy generates about $605,000 annually for operations, Nye said. The 5-year levy was first approved by voters in 2005 and renewed in 2010. A resolution of necessity – the first step in placing an issue on the ballot - was on the board’s agenda for its June 25 meeting and Nye said he expected a resolution to proceed to be on the board’s agenda for its July meeting. Voters in the district in May showed strong support for a 6.38-mill additional levy, passing it by 344 votes: 1,345 for to 1,001 against. They passed a 5-mill renewal issue by an even wider margin: 1,633 for to 710 against. Despite the infusion of new tax dollars the district will realize when the additional millage is collected, Nye said the district still needs to renew the 3.9-mill levy. “It had been a decade since we had new local dollars,” he said. “We’re not adding on anything. It’s still a necessity to continue the programs we have.” He credited the successful campaign for the May ballot issues to a broad base of volunteers. “It was grass roots and community driven,” Nye said. “We just provided the facts.” The board is currently in negotiations with the bargaining units representing teachers and classified staff.

A fowl idea

No to chickens, commission says By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

Opposition Some residents from the area were opposed to granting the SUE permit. Al Mortemore asked if the request would require a zoning change and what was to stop anyone from coming in and making the same request. Seferian said a zoning change was not required, and that all residents have the right to make a request for an SUE permit. Bruce Geddis was concerned that coyotes in the area would be attracted to the neighborhood with the availability of an additional food source. Rick Orovitz, a member of the Planning Committee, asked Pullella how often the coop would be cleaned, how waste would be handled, and how he would keep coyotes away from the chickens. Pullella said the chickens would be fed and watered daily, the coop would be cleaned every couple of days, the waste would be used in his garden, and the fence would be buried deep enough to keep coyotes from digging underneath. The coop would be heated with a door to the run. The Planning Commission voted 3-2 against the request after commission member Yussef Olive asked for the approval of the SUE permit for six hens only in a fenced in area, with the Project Review Committee’s recommendations, for a probationary period of one year. Olive and Seferian voted in favor. Orovitz, Chairman Scott Winckowski and commission member Greg Vriezelaar were opposed. The SUE denial was recommended to council, which will hear the matter at a public hearing on July 27 at 8 p.m. in council chambers, according to Council President Dennis Walendzak. Requests rising Seferian said at a council meeting on June 22 that Pullella’s request was reasonable, since other cities, such as Toledo, allow chickens be raised in any location. “The Planning Commission members wondered if there was some type of legislation that the city was considering,” said Seferian. Council could change the zoning

“

We seem to have a lot of requests for chickens as of late.

“

The Oregon Planning Commission on June 16, in a split vote, recommended that a request for a Special Use Exemption (SUE) permit to raise chickens in a residential area on S. Wynn Road be denied. David Pullella originally made the request to raise no more than six chickens, four rabbits, two ducks, two goats, four turkeys, two swans and four pheasants at 935 S. Wynn Road. The property is in a low density residential district. His request was later amended for a permit to raise just the six chickens. The Project Review Committee had no objections to the request, but recommended that a plan be submitted and approved for waste removal and housing. Pullella said his immediate plans are to raise the chickens to lay eggs. The chickens would be fenced in. A coop would be located behind a 10 foot by 12 foot shed, located about 250 feet from the road, according to Pullella, who said he has been a resident of Oregon for two years. He also plans to build a run for them as well. Mayor Mike Seferian, who is on the Planning Commission, asked for a one year probationary period with the possibility of renewal to determine whether it was a good fit for the area and everything was carried out by Pullella.

code to allow chickens in certain areas of the city so that such requests would not have to go before the planning commission. “We seem to have a lot of requests for chickens as of late,” he said. Although the planning commission recommended that the request be denied, Seferian said council may want to consider the request as it is for just six chickens on a two acre parcel. “I don’t see a real harm in six chickens,” he said. It will take six votes of council to overturn the planning commission’s recommendation of denial of the SUE. Seferian said the one year probationary period with a one year option for renewal was fair. “That way we could ensure [Pullella] was living up to the expectations of what care we thought needed to be provided to still exist in a residential area. It took a lot

of time to come up with what we thought would work,” he said. “I think under those conditions, it’s a fairly reasonable request.” Councilman Joshua Hughes asked if the city gets many requests from residents to raise chickens. Seferian said there have been five or six requests in the last several years, but he expects it to increase. “There have been others asking about it. It seems like it’s becoming a hotter topic, especially when Toledo changed their zoning to just flat out permit it. I don’t know if that’s what we want to do. I know we’ll have more requests. As a member of the planning commission, I want a consistency of what we’re doing. I thought under the circumstances, to have a probationary period and not just flat out grant an SUE forever, that they would have to keep coming back for additional renewals, which would not be an additional charge. That way, if they weren’t living up to our expectations – and there was a mess - we could just deny the renewal. I think it’s fair.” Councilman James Seaman said it makes sense that more people are asking about it because of the desire to want healthier food choices. “People want to know where their food comes from and what’s in it. That’s really part of where this comes from. It’s probably good for the family in general,” said Seaman.

nspirational essage of the eek: Envy is a Bitter Root Perhaps nothing tears at the social fabric like envy. Comparing ourselves to others will invariably make us feel either arrogant and superior or bitter and inferior. When we compare favorably to others we’re likely to feel superior and therefore risk being arrogant, while comparing unfavorably to others is likely to make us bitter and feel dejected. Life is not a contest, and while it is only normal to want to know how we did on the test relative to other students, or how much we earn relative to our colleagues, invariably we are not going to be at the top of every list, or perhaps even at the top of any list. Most of us are going to be bunched up around the

middle, and that's okay. Envy is not only a root of bitterness at work and in school, but often also within families. Sibling rivalry is natural, and competition can be a good thing, but many families have lasting scars from sibling rivalry that was taken too far, and envious feelings often outlast childhood. So put a check on your envy by avoiding unhealthy comparisons. You’re fine just the way you are. – Christopher Simon. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. —Psalm 139:13-14

Iconic “Big Boy” to join in Bennett’s 60th anniversary party In 1955, brothers David and Milton Bennett, Jr. acquired franchise rights to operate Frisch’s Big Boy Restaurants in NW Ohio. It is from their first restaurant, located in the Country Charm Shopping Center in Perrysburg, that Bennett Enterprises was born. The novel concept of the drive-in restaurant caught on quickly. Frisch’s Big Boy became the gathering place for carloads of hungry families: and for teenagers in cars cruising the canopied curb-service area of the parking lot. And, the fiberglass statue of the chubby “Big Boy”, dressed in red and white checked overalls, with a slingshot in his hip pocket, became one of the most recognized icons in North America. According to Beth Hammond, company spokesperson, Bennett Enterprises, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary, now owns and operates hotels and restaurants in nine counties throughout NW Ohio and SE Michigan. These include: Holiday Inn French Quarter and Holiday Inn Express in Perrysburg; Hampton Inn in Maumee, Quality Inn & Suites in Monroe, six Ralphie’s Sports Eateries and 13 Frisch’s Big Boy restaurants. Bennett is also involved in real estate development. The Bennett footprint for success came naturally for Dave and Milt, according to Hammond. While working for their father, Milton Bennett, Sr. at his Pak-A-Snak restaurant on Cherry St. in Toledo, the brothers were inspired and encouraged to follow four basic business concepts: Be a good company to work for, be a good company to buy from, be a good company to sell to, and be a good neighbor to the community. Bennett Enterprises employs over 900 individuals. In celebration of their diamond anniversary, the weekend of June 27 and 28,

Fireworks legislation To the editor: The time is overdue for Ohio to follow the lead taken by New York in legalizing the sale and use of certain consumer fireworks. New York is the 47th state to make some level of consumer fireworks legal for sale and use. The facts are clear that residents of the Buckeye State do not need protection from the legislature in prohibiting them from using consumer fireworks. Since 1994, there has been a 59.3 percent increase in use of fireworks in the United States measured by imports that grew from 117 million pounds in 1994 to 186.4 million pounds in 2013. Against this substantial increase in use of fireworks, the actual number of fireworks-related injuries during the same period dropped by 8.8 percent as reported by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. If you measure injuries per 100,000 pounds of fireworks used, during the same period the rate per 100,000 pounds of fireworks used dropped from 10.7 to 6.1 or 42.9 percent. More than 36 percent of the reported injuries in the CPSC statistics resulted from illegal firecrackers, pubic displays, altered devices and unspecified devises that are not consumer fireworks. This makes the reduction in the rate of consumer fireworks-related injuries even more impressive. This reduction in the rate of productrelated injuries is unmatched by any other consumer product with any risk associated with it such as trampolines, motorcycles, jet skis and the like. In addition to New York, in the past 10 years or so, Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Utah have liberalized their laws relative to the sale and use of consumer fireworks. The consumer fireworks products are safer today than they have ever been before. Plus, the sale of consumer fireworks can raise some badly needed revenue for government. Americans love fireworks. Fireworks and the celebration of the Fourth of July Independence Day are synonymous. On July 3, 1776. then future U.S. President John Adams, in a now-famous letter to his wife Abigail mused that Independence Day

An unsafe conclusion To the editor: After reading the letter to the editor entitled “Ill-Informed.” I felt compelled to write in support of John Szozda’s column. In reading her comments, I feel the letter writer is the person who is definitely “ill-informed.” Is she not aware of what is going on around her, with the most recent tragedy being the shooting of nine Christians in church? How many nonChristians would have the guts to forgive the shooter? Is our world getting any better to live in by people leaving Christianity behind in search of “free thought and logic?” Technology is great and I don’t put it down, but we are losing our human touch (note the number of persons walking around constantly checking their iPads, etc., instead of engaging in face-to-face communication. It is not safe to conclude that a drop in Christianity will pose no threat to our nation’s future. It already has. The writer needs to be more aware of how society in general is changing, and not for the better, and I believe this change is because people are leaving God out of their lives and living for themselves, not the betterment of others, as Christians believe and do. All the technology in the world is not a substitute for the personal relationship

Strong schools To the editor: I am writing as an alumnae, parent and community member in support of the Oregon Schools November operating levy. In my years as an OCS parent whose children were involved in sports, band, drama and other extra-curricular activities, I see the value in a well-rounded education and in the leadership opportunities that are often only available to our kids outside the classroom. As my children applied for college and scholarships, it was apparent that it is the extra activities that really make the difference in making them stand out. A well-rounded education is not just about the academics, but also about the total offering that our schools provide. I will be voting yes in November as well as working on the Levy Committee because I feel strongly that strong schools make a strong community with good property values. Strong schools attract business and talent to our district. Please vote yes in November, and if you want additional information or have questions, please come to the community meetings at Clay High School on July 9 and Aug. 13 at 6 p.m. Information is also available on Facebook by searching for “Oregon Schools Community Levy Committee.” Joy Andrews Resident, Parent, Alumni, Levy Committee Member

Religion fosters peace To the editor: I am responding to John Szozda’s column, “Decline in Christianity takes us one step closer to bowling alone, (June 8), as well as the comments in a letter to the editor last week. First of all, I was very happy and surprised at Mr. Szozda’s editorial, which I agree with. Referring to the letter writer’s

51% Disagree 49% Agree

comments about Christianity being the leading cause of war and discrimination, I would disagree. While it may seem that religion is a cause of war to her and many others, it is the leading cause of peace. I remind her that God’s forgiveness was demonstrated by the survivors of the shooting at the AME Church in Charleston. Christians have helped to build hospitals, care for the homeless, feed the hungry, care for the addicted, demonstrate God’s love to the lonely and forgotten here and around the world. Addie Brandt Pemberville

A wake-up call To the editor: I just wanted to say thank you for the article last week about the decline in Christianity. I am glad you decided to take the time to write about it. Our Christian faith (Protestant and Catholic), for many of us, is more than a guiding light; it is also a foundation of who we are. It also seems to be more than a coincidence that as faith in our culture has declined, immorality has increased as well as its effects on society (i.e. pornography, crime, rudeness, divorce, infidelity, declines in education, broken homes, crumbling of our urban centers due to white flight/racism, etc.). My previous appointment was an inner city church where the problems were manifold. Of all, it seems to be having the most effect on our children. Thank you for bringing this issue to light. The Pew study should be a wake-up call for all churches to reach out with the radical and life changing love of Jesus. Bob Baugher Oregon

Knowing when to let go of the emotions that tie you down Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

True freedom is attained through the realization that it really doesn’t matter what other people think, say, or do.

“

Imagine you are swimming while holding a heavy anchor which is pulling you under water. What would you do? Of course you would let go of the anchor to keep from drowning. Maintaining your grip on the anchor would lead to certain disaster. With your survival at stake, you wouldn’t hesitate to drop the anchor. Yet, in life there are issues you are hanging onto which are drowning you. Anger, hate, bitterness, resentment, and grudges are all anchors pulling you to the bottom. Trying to change circumstances outside of your control also drags you to the bottom. The problem is that from a young age you have become accustomed to holding on to anchors. The potential damage is not readily recognized because there doesn’t appear to be any immediate threat. Furthermore, there is a tendency to pick up and hold onto additional anchors. Then in response to the weight increasing to unmanageable levels, you tend to tighten your grip rather than letting go. There are several reasons for this selfdestructive behavior. First of all, you don’t realize you are actually carrying an anchor. Instead, you have become conditioned to believing that your feelings are the result of what others are doing to you, not what you are doing to yourself. Since you are not aware of the anchor you’re carrying, letting go of it is never even considered an option. Another reason for not letting go is the

false belief that your negative feelings are somehow detrimental to the person you blame. This thinking implies that when you are angry, bitter or upset, the person responsible for your feelings is in some way harmed by your anchor. This logic makes as much sense as believing the weight you are carrying is making someone else tired. Trying to change someone else is an-

other anchor to let go of. This endeavor leads to never ending frustration. A person can change if they want to, but you cannot make them do it. Although you don’t have any control over the actions of others, you do have control over your response. When you persist in attempting to get others to change, your anchor grows in weight, pulling you down deeper and deeper. Your grip tightens as you get even more determined to force changes. This is a doomed scenario which typically tears relationships apart. Let go of this anchor by recognizing people for who they are. Deal with them on this level. Put your energy into your response to their actions. Just because someone acts doesn’t mean you have to react. Continually being offended and taking things personally is yet another anchor. Becoming upset never improves a situation. True freedom is attained through the realization that it really doesn’t matter what other people think, say, or do. In order to let go of the anchor, you must be aware of the fact that you are holding onto one. Accomplishing this requires you to constantly monitor your emotional state. Your goal is an awareness of how you are feeling and why. Understanding this cause and effect relationship enables you to recognize when you are holding onto an anchor. Through this approach, you will find you are holding onto anchors more frequently than you

realized. Just let go each time you grab onto an anchor. You are now in the process of changing a lifelong habit. Don’t make any excuses for holding onto the anchor. Never say to yourself “I can’t let this go.” Letting it go is essential for your mental and physical well-being. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Historic Genoa The Town Hall looms over the village of Genoa, its bell tower visible for blocks. Originally built as the Genoa Opera Hall, it was constructed in 1883 and housed its first performance in 1886. The building immediately became the hub of activity in the village and council meetings are still held there. Built in the Gothic revival style, the structure features eight ornamental chimneys, and a hand-carved sandstone mask of Dionysius, the Greek God of theater, which rests over the main entrance. The Town Hall, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, houses the mayor’s office and the village council chambers on the first floor. The second floor is used by Genoa’s Civic Theater. Genoa Privy, built to serve as Genoa’s first school, is believed to be the only brick outhouse on the National Register of Historic Places.

Elmore Depot The Elmore Historical Society purchased 1860s Elmore Depot in 1981, along with 2.5 acres of land. The society undertook an extensive renovation, and the building now houses memorabilia from Elmore’s past. In 1983, society members dismantled, relocated and rebuilt the 1940s Heckman log house, adding an elaborate flagstone fireplace and porch, and furnishing it with artifacts from its era.

Seven league championships

Gibsonburg seniors leave with their legacy in place The Gibsonburg Class of 2015 can enter the next stage of its life with the peace of mind that it accomplished some great things for the athletic department. This group won a combined seven league championships — six in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference and one in the (Toledo) City League — in a year that saw the softball team get back to regionals for the first time in a decade, the basketball team go 22-0 in the regular season, the baseball team win its first conference title since 1980, the football team return to prominence with a 9-1 season and the track and field teams sweep the league tournament. The wrestling team won the City League title in its first year in the conference and the girls’ cross-country team took the TAAC championship as well. Shane Dyer, who is Gibsonburg’s athletic director and has a son, Josh, who played football, basketball and track and grew up with this group of students, talked about what these seniors accomplished. “This group of seniors left a lasting impression athletically but what made them stand out to me was that 41 (of them) were on the honor roll or high honor roll for their cumulative GPA throughout high school,” Dyer said. “This was more than half of their class receiving a 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 grading scale. They not only excelled in athletics but they excelled in the classroom as

well. “I have been a member of this community since 1996 and I couldn’t be more proud of these young athletes and what they accomplished. The kids left it all on the field and we will have some big shoes to fill in our respective sports.” The basketball team went 22-0 and advanced to the district semifinals. Led by Jordan Kreglow, who averaged 21.5 points and was a second-team selection in Division IV, and Bryce Ernsthausen, the Bears finished the regular season ranked fifth in the state. The team also won its first title since joining the TAAC in ‘11. Kreglow, who will play basketball at Trine next year, teamed with Ernsthausen and Derek Angelone to lead the baseball team to the league title and advance to the district finals for the second straight year before falling to Toledo Christian. Both track teams blew away the competition at the TAAC Tournament, winning by a combined 112.66 points and the girls’ cross country team claimed the TAAC title. Individually, twin sisters Colleen and Kendall Reynolds stood out amongst this impressive group, placing a combined nine

times at the Div. III track meet during their four years competing for the Golden Bears. Colleen, who won the state championship in the 400 meters as a sophomore in 56.57 seconds, was third this year in the 400 (57.63) and fifth in the 200 (25.73). Kendall, meanwhile, placed in two events this year, coming in fourth in the 100 (12.55) and seventh in the 400 (59.43). Matt Tille had a phenomenal career, too, competing for the football, basketball and track teams. Tille, who recovered from multiple ACL tears in both knees, was a four-year starter who led the football team to a second-place finish in the TAAC and nearly got them back to the playoffs for the first time in 14 years. (The Bears’ only blemish was a 2113 loss to Northwood, but they still managed to outscore their opponents, 433-167.) He re-wrote the offensive record book for the program and finished his career earning first-team league honors by accumulating 3,255 yards of total offense and 40 touchdowns this year. Tille, who is headed to Butler, completed over 50 percent of his passes (123-of-245) for 2,168 yards and 28 touchdowns and ran for 1,087 yards and 12 scores.

There are so many that I could name such as Claire Kirwen pitching for our softball team and guiding (them) to a regional semifinalist appearance.

He talked about what competing for the Bears meant to him. “I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to do what I love with the guys I grew up with. Being a small school, we have always been very close and I truly believed that the relationships we created showed on the field/court,” Tille said. “I’m truly grateful to have had the success that we did, but what I will really cherish are the memories that we made along the way.” Tille also talked about what it meant to play for a community that is so supportive of its student body. “The community is completely invested in their athletic teams so there is a sense of pressure to perform, to become better, to never settle for anything less than your best,” he said. “That is the mindset that is instilled within us as little kids that stays with us throughout our athletic careers.” Dyer talked about some of the individuals who stood out this season. “There are so many that I could name such as Claire Kirwen pitching for our softball team and guiding (them) to a regional semifinalist appearance. Colleen and Kendall have set high standards for the track and field program,” Dyer said. “Derek Angelone played football, basketball, and baseball and played a key role in our success in each of those sports. Bryce Ernsthausen played basketball and baseball and was a leader in both sports. Jacob Kiser bowled and was a state participant in the high jump and Tyler Hovis played football and track and was a leader on both those teams.”

Skills camp set for July 11

Kovacs will share NFL experience with players By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com For all Rod Achter, Garry Isbell and Karl Knierim know, there might be another future college standout and NFL player like Jordan Kovacs waiting in the wings locally. Kovacs, a 2008 Clay graduate, will be one of the instructors at the 2015 Strike Zone Sports Center football camp on Saturday, July 11 at Central Park in Northwood. The second annual camp, for those ages 8 to 18, runs from 1-3 p.m. and costs $40. Kovacs, 25, who was an instructor at last year’s camp, played defensive back for five years at the University of Michigan and this fall will enter his third season as a DB and special teams’ player for the Miami Dolphins. “I think that will be huge for local high school kids to get instruction from Jordan,” said Isbell, who co-owns Strike Zone Sports Center with Achter and Knierim. “He will go over some defensive skill positions and some offensive skill positions and do some seven-on-seven (instruction). We’re trying to get a lot of high school kids there.” Achter, an assistant football coach at Northview, was Kovacs’ position coach at Clay. Kovacs originally signed with Miami as an undrafted free agent in 2013, and he has appeared in 17 games and made four solo tackles as well as three tackles on special teams. “He’s an undersized kid and he’s not the fastest kid in the world,” Achter said, “but in my 30 years of coaching I’ve never had a kid like him whose motor goes fullgo on every play. He has things you can’t teach. His instincts and knowledge of the game are what give him a leg up on everybody. That’s what allows him to play. “His rapport with the kids is unbelievable. He’s going to make a great coach one day. We would really like it if the area high school athletes took advantage of the opportunity to work with a professional foot-

Miami Dolphins safety Jordan Kovacs speaking at last year’s National Football Foundation dinner. (Press file photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com) ball player. Jordan’s experiences and what he has to share with the high school athlete is second to none.” Campers at the Strike Zone football camp will have a full day packed into two hours. Individuals will be grouped into groups for quarterbacks, receivers, linemen, running backs, linebackers and defensive backs. There will also be seven-on-seven drills.

Kovacs said he enjoyed being an instructor at last year’s Strike Zone camp, and looks forward to helping out next month. He added, “It’s an opportunity to work with young football players in Northwest Ohio. I’ve participated in a lot of camps. I went to Michigan camps growing up, and we had camps at Clay. I helped work the Michigan camps when I was a player. I like to teach the kids the fundamentals, and it’s a lot of

fun.” Jordan Kovacs said he will work with the defensive backs and receivers at the Strike Zone event. “At the end of camp we let the kids ask questions and let them get a feel for the process at the college and professional level,” Kovacs said. The 5-foot-10, 210-pound Kovacs was on the Dolphins’ roster last summer before he was released after fall camp. He was picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles and put on their practice squad, but the Dolphins re-signed Kovacs to their practice squad and later to their active roster. “I played in the last eight games with the Dolphins. My first week back with them was in Detroit, which was kind of cool. I got to play at Ford Field.” Kovacs played primarily on special teams, but he started in the Dolphins’ nickel package at safety against the New York Jets last season. “I got a few snaps in (at DB) against the Patriots,” Kovacs said. “It was cool to line up opposite Tom Brady.” Kovacs added that it’s hard to believe he is entering his third season in the NFL. “Everybody there is a phenomenal athlete,” he said. “It’s an absolute business, and that’s what I’ve come to understand. It’s a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league. It’s about working hard and being accountable and doing what you can to make the team better. I’ve certainly enjoyed it. I play football for money and I’m having a hell of a time now. I’m enjoying the chase right now, the challenge of playing football in the NFL.” Kovacs is also engaged to be married. His fiance, Kat Rasmussen, graduated from Clay and from Michigan Law School. Strike Zone Sports Center is located at 2660 Woodville Rd. in the Great Eastern Shopping Center. The staff offers instruction in athletic training, speed and agility, and softball and baseball instruction. For information call 419-214-0193.

Segura, a 1991 Waite graduate, took over his alma mater’s program this spring after serving as head coach at Northwood. After a 0-25 varsity season, he wants to get East Toledo’s youth playing baseball again. The East Toledo Family Center has a youth program, but they are participatory and teams don’t play for championships. That’s good, says Segura. But, he wants to take those youth who are ready to the next level — build competitive leagues and send travel teams across the state. “We had a baseball camp in December where we had 30-plus kids show up. We’re just trying to get the word out in East Toledo,” Segura said. “We’re going to play at the Lucas County Rec Center, where they have leagues for rec teams, and get these kids started young. I just hope that parents start buying into what we’re doing here on the east side, and once they get involved they will realize that we want to play a competitive-type of baseball. We can’t build from the top down. We’ve got to build from the bottom up.” ETFC assistant director Roger Dodsworth says he welcomes Segura’s plan, but acknowledges the Family Center will continue with its participatory program. However, the ETFC is getting involved. Segura, the Waite coaching staff, and the Family Center are hosting a free clinic on July 11 and July 18 from 1:304:30 at Navarre Park. Along with coaches will be Coach Segura’s son, John, who played at Northwood and Ohio StateLima University, pitcher Justin Rohrs (Northwood/St. Joseph’s University) and other college players. If you think there is not enough money in East Toledo to promote competitive youth baseball at that level, think again, says Segura. “We had a fundraiser over here selling

Waite first-year coach John Segura. (Photo courtesy Innovations Portrait Studiio/ Innovations Visual Impact. com) coupon books, and we raised $3,600 for the baseball season, and it was an easy sale. These kids want to work. It can be done,” Segura said. “There are still old-timers who still sponsor us. It’s like a whole community in itself.” Getting the word out In addition, Segura believes there are hundreds of youth in East Toledo who want to play baseball, but don’t get the opportunity. “It’s different today than what (former coaches Jim) Wasserman and (Ken) Rossler dealt with at Waite — you had teams at every school on the east side. Now, we have Garfield and Oakdale kids who are playing,

but now I not only need help from the parents, I need help from the administrations at the grade schools,” Segura said. “If we get the word out, and parents are committed to their kids playing baseball, and to playing 40 games in the summer, then that is going to get them better. And, what would you rather do in the summer than play baseball?” One of his six seniors who graduated this spring, catcher Nick Jensen, says it is about time this is started in the neighborhood he grew up in. “It will be great for the community, great for the kids in general. Baseball has changed thousands of lives across America. I figure that it’s really hard to start a pro-

gram around here because a lot of people focus on football baseball,” Jensen said. “When you get a youth baseball program going, there is nothing that can stop us from having state championships like everyone else in our area. Northwest Ohio is really a big place for sports in the nation for every sport — from softball to wrestling to everything. There is no reason why Waite couldn’t be the next big powerhouse, especially if we had kids who were playing since they were 5-years-old. That’s when they should start and they play with the same kids from their community all the way up to college,” Jensen continued. “Chemistry is another thing you can’t just put in a kid…You have to build that up by playing with everybody. You learn how to play, you learn how to throw…When you have only four months, or whatever it is, to be with kids, it’s really hard to fully learn what they can do.” Segura has had his share of success coaching travel baseball, and his brother Al Segura is involved with summer youth baseball at St. Kateri. For John, a standout athlete at Waite and U.S. Marine Corps veteran, this is about playing his part in making the neighborhoods better, too. Nearly a decade ago, he coached a youth travel team that won an American Amateur Baseball Association 12-year-old championship, qualifying them to play in Puerto Rico. The same group later won a USSSA 14-and-under state championship. Players included his son, John Segura (Northwood), who just finished an award-winning senior season at NCAA Division III Ohio State-Lima University. Teammates included Dylan CliftonLorton (Waite), who also just completed his award-winning senior season at OSULima and former Northwood standout Nick Russell. Of 30 players on his travel team, Coach Segura says 18 have gone on to play a college sport, including two who are playing football at the University of Toledo, and one, Northwood resident Eric Cellier (Toledo Christian), who plays basketball for Taylor University (Ind.). “I have 18 kids here for summer baseball on a team that was 0-25, and I’ll tell you what. To me, that tells you they want to play baseball.” Segura can be reached at jwsegura27@ gmail.com

The Press Box Kohring helps Liberty win their ninth straight title By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Liberty University six-foot tall sophomore Blake Kohring (Eastwood) has participated in nearly every event for the Flamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; track team, including the decathlon. However, he is starting to make a dent in the 110 hurdles, placing fifth at the Big South Outdoor Track and Field Championships, finishing in 15.07. He was one of two Flames participating, and they were the Flamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first finalists in that event at the Big South championships since 2010. Kohring helped Liberty, an NCAA Division I school, shine brightly on a sundrenched Saturday as the team swept the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championships at Vert Stadium. The Liberty menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad captured its 20th outdoor team title and ninth in a row in dominating fashion, racking up 288Â˝ points to outdistance runner-up Coastal Carolina by 106 tallies. It marked the Flamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; largest margin of victory at this meet since 2009 and Libertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest point total since scoring 291Â˝ at the 2001 Big South championships. As a freshman, Kohring, an exercise science major, came in eighth at the Big South decathlon with a season-best score of 5,571 points, and he posted a season best 110 hurdles time of 15.29 at the Liberty Twilight Qualifier. He was redshirted in 2013-14. At Eastwood, Kohring placed fourth in the 60 hurdles at the 2012 Ohio indoor state meet and seventh in 2013, posting a personal best time of 8.27. His personal

He also played football and was first team Alan Miller Jewelers AllPress on offense and defense at tight end and defensive end. He is the son of Calvin and Darlene Kohring.

Sheehyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rose resolution on hold A resolution co-sponsored by State Rep. Michael P. Sheehy (D-Oregon) to ask Major League Baseball to reinstate Pete Rose is advancing through the legislature, but has been put on hold because of new information that surfaced Monday about Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alleged gambling as a player. In 1989, Rose, now 74, had voluntarily agreed to a lifetime ban from MLB because he gambled on baseball games as a manager, but he always insisted that he never bet to lose. Peter Edward â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peteâ&#x20AC;? Rose, who spent most of his career with the Cincinnati Reds,

is the all-time leader in hits, at bats, and games played, was an American League MVP and he is the only Major Leaguer to play more than 500 games at five different positions. His name is as well known as anyone enshrined in MLBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., so the Ohio House District 46 state rep believed it was time to get Rose the accolades he deserves. But that may change now that more evidence about Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities has been made public. Sheehyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislative aide, Peter Bucher, says last week the resolution was assigned HCR 15 and headed to the Government Accountability and Oversight Committee. A companion resolution in the Senate is HCR 4. At its first hearing, Sheehy and co-sponsor Christie Kuhns, a state representative from the Cincinnati area, were scheduled to give testimony. However,

Bucher said when new information surfaced about Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alleged betting as a player, it was decided to hold testimony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had finally received the opportunity for the first hearing about 24 hours after the news broke. For that reason weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to put a pause on it until the upcoming summer recess is over,â&#x20AC;? Bucher emailed The Press.
