By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com National recording group “Berlin featuring Terri Nunn,” which had a chart topping hit “Take my breath away” from the popular movie “Top Gun,” in the 80’s, will headline the 5th annual “Boomfest at the Grove” in Oregon on Friday, July 4 from 2 p.m. until Midnight at the Oak Shade Grove, 3624 Seaman Road, home of the German American Festival. Entry, entertainment and parking for the event are free. Food, drinks, and activities will be on hand for adults and kids. Carriages pulled by Clydesdale horses will provide tours of the Oak Shade Grove facility. Food will include hot dogs and pretzels, barbecued wings and hamburgers. New this year is a Chick-fil-A booth. “We are one of the only festivals around that will have a Chick-fil-A booth,” said Oregon Mayor Mike Seferian. “It’s known to be one of the higher end fast food places.” The “Cruisin’ the Grove Car Show” will run from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and feature “The Jimmy & Bob Show, who are DJ’s that will spin 50’s and 60’s music. Live entertainment and children’s activities will begin at 5:30 p.m. with Motown Style Band “The KGB Band,” followed by popular Toledo band “Arctic Clam” at 7:30 p.m., which will perform after the fireworks until Midnight. Zambelli will provide the fireworks display, as it has in previous years. “Our fire department said they are top notch with safety,” said Seferian. “They really know what they’re doing. We are very comfortable with them.” Kids’ activities will include an inflatable jumper and climbing walls. The featured performance, though, will be the American new wave recording band “Berlin featuring Terri Nunn.” Besides “Take my breath away,” other hit songs by the group include “No More Words,” “The Metro,” and “Masquerade.” “Nobody else in our area can boast a free concert to the scale we have at Continued on page 4

World War II tank in good hands By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com These words are spoken by Ronald Rowland in a YouTube video taken in 2012 in Conneaut, Ohio, during a D-Day ceremony: “Alright, ladies and gentlemen. If you would cover your ears we’re going to do a … fire in the hole!” A loud boom can be heard about seven seconds later, followed immediately by a big puff of smoke. A man in the crowd can be heard saying, “Geez. Are you OK?” Then a young boy’s voice says, “What happened to it?” Just before the 36-ton weapon fired off a blank round, Rowland ducked inside the turret of the M4A3E8 World War II Sherman tank and gave the local sheriff the go-ahead to pull the trigger on the 76-caliber Howitzer and let ‘er rip.

Ronald Rowland “I’m wearing ear protection and a helmet, just like the soldiers did,” Rowland said. “All I can hear is a boom, probably a third of what you hear. I’m in the loader’s side of the turret, making sure the public knows about it and locking everything. Everything gets locked up until we do the

celebration. We cut our powder down quite a bit because of how close the crowd was.” Rowland, 64, a 1969 graduate of Eastwood High School who now lives in Wapakoneta, has done this dozens of times – 11 events or so a year for 10 years. Rowland was raised near Lemoyne at a home, long since torn down, located at the U.S. 20/420 interchange. Rowland and the Sherman tank appeared at the Plane Fun Festival on June 13-15 at Toledo Executive Airport next to Lake High School. The tank was originally built in 1944 and never saw combat, according to Rowland. It was acquired by the Allen County Historical Society in Lima in 1957 and was displayed outside the Allen County Museum until 1987, when volunteers from Lima’s Joint Systems Manufacturing Center (maker of the modern M1 Abrams tank) and the Lima Ford Engine Plant completely reContinued on page 4

Library prepares for expansion As a major expansion of the Oregon Branch Library on Dustin Road nears, library officials are making plans to continue services, including working from a temporary site at the former Wynn Elementary School. The branch on Dustin Road will be open through Aug. 9 and construction on the 3,700-square-foot expansion will start by late August or early September, said Susan Skitkowski, branch services administrator, during a meeting Monday to offer patrons a look at site plans. Dan Meehan, a principal with HBM Architects, Cleveland, said contract bids will be received by late July for the project, which is expected to cost about $2.5 million. A June or July 2015 completion date is planned. Meehan’s presentation Monday included renderings of the interior and exterior of the building. Almost all of the additional floor area will be used for public space, including a room for children story times and a room for teens with easy access to the Internet. A meeting room is also being expanded and there will be a 24-hour lobby area for patrons to drop off and pick up materials. High glass windows will be a feature throughout the building, Meehan said, and the revamped library will feature lower shelves for books. “There will be lots of glass and stone,” he said. The branch was built in 1988 and currently covers about 14,800 square feet. Even through the building is being expanded, none of the trees on the property will be lost to construction, Meehan added. Lisa Green, branch manager, said the library intends to offer basic services out of the former Wynn School on Bayshore Road by late August. Hours will be 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday and 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. She said the expansion will enhance service for the public. “The newly designed customer service desk will provide both circulation and reference services at one point, making it a one-stop process for patrons,” Green said. “There will also be additional spaces that will enhance services to children and teens, plus increase adult reading and browsing areas. The addition to the meeting room will accommodate larger community groups and library programs plus provide the ability to host more than one meeting at a time.” An auction of some of the library’s furniture is tentatively planned for Aug. 22, said Charlie Oswanski, superintendent for facilities and operations of Toledo Lucas County Public Library.

Baking contest set Area bakers are encouraged to look through their favorite recipes in preparation for the German-American Festival’s Baking Contest, which will be held Saturday, Aug. 23. Entries of “kuchen” (cake) will be due by 2:30 p.m.; judging will be held at 3:30 p.m. For more information, contact Diane at 419-693-8343 or schmidt@sbcglobal.net.

There will be lots of glass and stone. The library held a meeting last August to seek public input on the proposed expansion. Oswanski said then he could see a shift in how many patrons use libraries. “Our meeting rooms get a lot of use and that one (at the Oregon branch) as it relates to the rest of the system is small. We’re becoming more of a place that people not only come to for checking out a book but also for inter-acting and collaborating. We’re becoming more and more of a public space,” he said at the time. About 35 persons attended the meeting Monday.

Over 200 riders show up for Portage River Bike Tour

Help Me Grow

By Alex Sobel Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Summer’s just started and if you’re looking for a way to get out and enjoy the weather, the Maumee Valley Adventurers may have what you’re looking for. The group looks to provide people with opportunities to take part in quality, affordable recreational activities in the area. They are best known for their bike tours, including The Portage River Bike Tour, which took place this past weekend. According to Pat Squire, who’s been a part of the tour for 30 years, The Portage River Bike tours aim to include everyone. “You have a choice of a 10, 31, 62, or 100 mile (route),” she said. “There’s a distance for everyone.” Because of the distance choices available, all ages came out. “It’s a good range (of ages),” Squire said. “I saw at least one child being pulled in a trailer behind an adult in a bike, and the oldest rider had just celebrated his 93rd birthday.” About 220 riders came out for the Portage River Bike Tour this year, which is down from last year, due to the tour being the same weekend as the MS: Bike to the Bay. Though Bike to the Bay is a much bigger event, according to Squire, there are a lot of reasons people chose Portage River instead. “The Bike to the Bay is not about the bicycling, they’re raising funds, so in order to participate, you have to raise a certain amount of money,” she said. According to Squire, The Maumee Valley Adventurers look to make it simple for those who want to ride. “With our bicycle tours, it’s a one-time fee, and that’s the only fee you’ll pay,” she said. “What you get for the fee is a map, a marked route, stops along the route, and free lunch.”

Bicyclists enjoy the scenic Portage River route. (Press photo by John Rider) There are a lot of reasons Squire thinks that people might have chosen Portage River, but the main one is the route itself. “The roads are quiet and The Portage River makes for a beautiful view,” she said. It’s also a route that can lead to some interesting sightings. “When they finished, (two riders) were ecstatic because they had seen two bald eagles during their ride,” Squire said. The tour typically brings people from all around, including Oregon and parts of Cleveland, but this year brought more riders from out of state. “We were surprised to have several new riders from Michigan,” Squire said. The Maumee Adventurers sponsor four bike tours every year, The Portage River Tour being the first one, but they also have other opportunities for those looking

for a more regular way to get out and enjoy the warm weather. “In the summer we do two weekly bike rides, a Tuesday evening one and a Thursday morning one. There’s no fee involved,” Squire said. For The Maumee Valley Adventurers, it’s all about creating fun and affordable recreational activities for those who want to get active with others. Though the people have been around in some capacity for years, the name is new, and Squire hopes that the organization and its events will only grow in notability. “(Maumee Valley Adventurers) is a fairly new name for (the organization),” she said. “So it’s not very well known. Yet.” For more information on upcoming events and future bike tours, visit www. mvadventurers.org.

Survey indicates broad support for curbing field run-off By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Support for curbing run-off from farm fields and using federal revenues to help restore the Great Lakes cuts across the political spectrum in Ohio, according to a poll released last week by the Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition, National Wildlife Federation and Ohio Environmental Council. Key points of the poll: • More than 6 in 10 respondents say the federal Clean Water Act should cover wetlands and small streams to “protect our health and important habitats from dangerous pollution.” Fewer than 30 percent took the position the act shouldn’t cover wetlands and small streams because “it will hurt farmers and businesses who’ll be forced to comply with unnecessary regulations.” When presented with arguments on

both sides, support for the act covering streams and wetlands came from democrats (77 percent), independents (62 percent) and republicans (45 percent). • About 66 percent of the respondents support the state enacting “stronger regulations to prevent run-off pollution from farms that ends up in the state’s rivers and streams.” Only 25 percent opposed new regulations; but a majority of republicans (51 percent), democrats (75 percent) and independents (72 percent) voiced support for stronger regulations. The survey of 805 voters was conducted by Fallon Research & Communications, Inc., Columbus, in mid-June. “Algal blooms in Lake Erie, caused in large part from farm field run-off, have prevented people from safely swimming, boating or fishing in the lake – even endangering our drinking water,” said Kristy

Meyer, managing director of agricultural and clean water programs at Ohio Environmental Council. “It’s not a sur-

prise that people in our state would want to prevent these blooms, but it is encouraging to see such high levels of support for new preventative regulations.” Task force appointment Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) has been named a vice-chairman of the Senate Great Lakes Task Force, a bi-partisan group formed in the mid-1980s to advocate policies that enhance the Great Lakes. Senators Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) are also co-chairmen of the task force. Sen. Portman sponsored the Harmful Algal Blooms and Hypoxia Research and Control Amendments Act of 2013 that would re-authorize a law that established the framework for the governmental research and response to algal problems. Sen. Portman was scheduled to be in Curtice June 28 at the Meinke Marina to host a discussion on Lake Erie.

World War II tank in good hands Continued from front page stored the Sherman to mint running condition, including a completely reconditioned “spare” engine. Volunteers from The Joint Systems Manufacturing Center and Husky Lima Refinery have been maintaining this important piece of history while honoring veterans and supporting the Allen County Museum. Rowland, who is not a veteran, said the tank originally needed “a lot of work.” “The people at the tank plant here in Lima recovered it and the intention was to paint it,” Rowland said. “Then, it snowballed. It ended up being a full restore to get it back up in operating condition. Ford Motor Company rebuilt the original engine, a 500 horsepower Ford V-8. “Husky Lima Refinery is a fuel company and I’ve worked for them (as a maintenance supervisor) for about 35 years. The tank was at our museum down the street and I would go down and dust it off and change the oil. After a time, I went into a parade with it and since then it’s snowballed and it’s been in about 10 events per year. We’ve been to Toledo twice, Port Clinton, Sandusky, all over the state of Ohio. “I was taught to drive it from the people at the tank plant, where they manufacture the Abrams tank here in Lima. Hanging around them, I started learning how to drive it. Next thing I know, I’m driving it and it kept on going and we’ve been going

to all these events.” This particular Sherman tank has a 76.2 mm main gun and can travel 29.2 mph, with a gasoline range of 100 miles. It is 24 feet, 8 inches long, nearly nine feet wide and can accomodate five crew members. It weighs approximately 71,175 pounds fully loaded. The tank is loaded onto a tractor-trailer rig for transport to various events. Rowland and his wife, Candace, who is from Northwood, travel by RV and camp out at

the events, and Ronald talks with spectators and veterans about the tank. Rowland said he cherishes his access to veterans – specifically WW II veterans – and to be able to talk about their combat experiences when they see the tank in person. “When we went to Toledo, we got to demo the tank – run it up and down the runway and fire the main gun,” Rowland said. “It’s for the veterans. When you have a veteran at the event and he says he was at the Battle of the Bulge ... He was there telling us stories and wanted to know if we’re going to be there next year. I’ve seen veterans with tears in their eyes from seeing this tank. “I met a veteran, 96 years old in a wheelchair, who says he drove one of those. Generally, we step back and listen to them.” Rowland and his wife don’t get back to the Toledo area very often. He said he doesn’t have any family locally, but Candace still has family in Northwood. Rowland doesn’t plan to give up his tank duties anytime soon. “I do it for the veterans and the museum,” he said. “It’s really an honor. Every day I say I’m going to retire and quit doing this, but when I’m done (at an event) I always say I’m glad I came. I meet some magnificent heroes and some magnificent people. If they didn’t sacrifice the way they did, I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing today.”

Oak Harbor

Utility battle resolved with a check By Cynthia Jacoby Special to The Press The check was in the mail – or something like that. Landlord Adam Snyder’s four-month dispute with the Village of Oak Harbor over a 2005 utility bill attached to a foreclosed home sale has come to an end. But that doesn’t mean the battle is over. Snyder bought the Ottawa Street residence earlier this year but refused to pay an outstanding $469 electrical bill. He reasoned the village had not taken steps over the years to get the money from the previous building owner and tenants who had lived there even though village officials had plenty of chances. A 1950s ordinance ties old bills to the current owner not tenants. So the village has denied electrical service to the three-unit property. As a result, Snyder has showed at every council meeting since to rehash the issue. Then on Thursday, June 12, a check for $433.20 arrived at the village administration office to pay the bill, Administrator Randy Genzman informed village council at its mid-June meeting. The village cashed the check the next day. “Whenever your schedule allows, we could install a meter,” Genzman told Snyder during the meeting. Snyder was not completely satisfied with the turn of events though. “If the village would have acted a little sooner this would have been resolved,” Snyder told

“

Regardless, can’t we just be happy it’s resolved?

“

Boomfest,” said Seferian. “The Rib-Off in Maumee this August has Ted Nugent, but people have to pay for that. Our venue is bigger than that.” The event cost about $50,000, said Seferian. The city contributed $15,000 while BP/Husky Refinery, ProMedica Bay Park Hospital, Mercy St. Charles Hospital, the Oregon Clean Energy power plant, and smaller corporate sponsors, contributed the rest. “We are excited to once again partner with the local business community and the GAF to present a fun event for Oregon area families,” said Seferian. “This event has grown over the last few years, and we hope to continue building on this new tradition in the future. Our local business community has really stepped up to help make sure that both Oregon residents and people from the broader region could enjoy a traditional celebration of community and our nation’s birthday.” Oregon police will provide security, which is standard practice at such events, said Seferian. “We really do count on the local people to create a great atmosphere. We just want them to enjoy the surroundings,” he said. “Where else can you go and have a national act entertain you in such tranquil surroundings as the Oak Shade Grove?” In 2012, the event drew about 10,000 people, according to Seferian. Last year, the number dropped due to heavy rains. Boomfest organizers have been successful in previous years snagging successful musical acts, including John Waite, whose hits included “Missing You,” and Steve Augeri, a former lead singer for the band Journey. “This year, we have the KGB band to start off, like last year. They are a Motown sound group. They’ve been around a long time. By request from a lot of people, we invited them back.” The Mustang Sally band, the headliner for the first Boomfest, wanted to return, but Seferian wants variety. “We keep trying to raise the bar every year. Each of those groups were great. We had a good time. But I don’t want to repeat a group because we want a fresh look for our headliners. So we want some years to pass before we invite someone back.” Next year, he’d like to include such activities as lawnmower pulls, similar to tractor pulls. “We’re trying to add something to Boomfest each year so that people can enjoy being there the whole day,” he said.

the group. “The good news is it is resolved now,” Councilman Jon Fickert told him. Snyder said he had recently talked to his realtor about the ongoing drama and that the person told him that money had been dealt with at closing and should have been paid. He implied the village should have known that. Genzman looked a little mystified. “January Real Estate LLC, who the hell is that?” he asked Snyder, referring to the name of the company listed on the check. The Toledo company was not Snyder’s real estate agent, Snyder responded, but must have had ties to the foreclosure case. Snyder said his communications with the agent led him to believe the village was aware of the check coming. “Regardless, can’t we just be happy it’s resolved?” Fickert asked again.

“Don’t you want to know the end result?” Snyder answered. He mentioned other similar cases that have popped up in recent months with other property owners and that this could happen again if not addressed by council. “It’s been resolved,” Fickert stated again and the conversation ended. Over the months, council has repeatedly conceded problems exist with the utility collection system and said it hopes to revamp regulations to fix those issues. More than $71,000 in unpaid bills had accumulated over the past 15 years until village officials changed some billing regulations in 2012 that tightened up the system. Council also has talked about ways to deal with the outstanding debt, including forgiving some of the bills and hiring a collection agency to go after the money. At least one person suggested the village wipe the slate clean and quit wasting village employees’ time. Genzman noted after the meeting that the village in recent weeks had recouped four of the outstanding bills. He explained five customers had come in seeking to have utility service turned on at their new residences. All five owed back bills, he said. Four paid. One did not. The Press noted that Snyder’s disputed bill was about $40 more than the check amount and asked why there was a difference. Genzman said he did not know but said the utility hook-up will go through as planned.

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

Oregon approves more commercial zoning on Navarre By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon council rezoned property from residential to commercial for a tow truck company on Navarre Avenue following a public hearing on June 23. The parcels, at 5508 and 5528 Navarre Ave., had R-1 Low Density Residential and C-2 General Commercial split zoning. The owners, David and Dianne Jaeger, wanted the entire parcel to be zoned C-2 General Commercial. Council on June 9 approved commercial zoning for 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 changes drew strong opposition from some nearby property owners who did not want commercial zoning so close to their back yards. As a compromise, the city has agreed to develop a landscaping plan that will act as a buffer between the residences and the commercially zoned parcels. Jaeger owns American Enterprises, Inc., on one of the parcels. The company manufactures tow trucks and transportation equipment and repairs cars, trucks and equipment. One of the parcels had split zoning with C-2 along Navarre and R-1 to the rear, said Jim Gilmore, commissioner of building and zoning. A parcel further to the east was zoned R-1. When the Navarre Overpass was built several years ago, many properties along Navarre lost frontage, said Gilmore. “They enter their properties now from the relocated Stadium Road. They have signage out in front, and they have a road that leads through the R-1 property to the C-2.” The Planning Commission had recommended approval of the zoning changes.

Sandblasting David Jaeger, of 624 S. Stadium Rd., said he has cleaned up his property, put in privacy fences, and started landscaping. “And in my cleanups, I moved some sandblasting sand from my property and dumped it into a borrow pit on Jeffers Crane [Service] property.” He added that he received permission from the controller at Jeffers Crane to fill the borrow pit. “Twice the EPA came out and answered to complaints that this was a hazardous waste. Both of those times, it was checked out and considered not to be a hazardous waste,” said Jaeger. “This sand is Michigan lake sand that we use. People think they’re being poisoned and everything else by the sand blast operation. Should that sand I dumped in there be called hazardous waste by the EPA, I will remove it and take it to the proper landfill. We’ve cleaned the place up dramatically, and we continue to go forward. I consider my word to be good. I will continue to make the place look even better. I hope you took the time to go by it and see what I’ve done in the past month.” He wants the zoning change because he has a tenant on the parcel, Blue Dolphin Pool Company. “If I don’t get this zoning, I would have to ask him to leave. And it would be painful for him and also painful to my wallet,” said Jaeger. After the meeting, Mayor Mike Seferian said Jaeger could not sandblast outside without an M-1 or M-2 (Industrial) zoning designation. Without it, he can only blast inside a building. “He can sandblast there, but he would have to contain it, so it would have to be inside,” said Seferian. Many people who opposed the zoning change for the Graham property also showed up to oppose the zoning change for

Marge Brown eyes vacancy By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Oregon school board is expected to fill a vacancy on the board at a special meeting on Monday. Jeff Ziviski, vice president of the board, told The Press last week that someone will be appointed to fill the seat that opened after P.J. Kapfhammer abruptly resigned at the start of the June 9 board meeting. Kapfhammer, who was president of the board, had been elected in 2011. By The Press deadline on Thursday, four people have expressed an interest in the seat, including an ex-mayor, a veteran police officer, a pastor and a former member of the school board. Former Oregon Mayor Marge Brown, who was elected to Oregon City Council in 1989 before becoming mayor from 2001-2009, sent a letter of interest to Superintendent Dr. Lonny Rivera. Brown was a teacher for 39 years, 37 of them in the Oregon school district, teaching in grades 3 through 6. She retired in May, 1996 from Eisenhower Middle School. “At the present time, I am still involved in the education of our youths by serving on Kateri/Cardinal Stritch School Board, the Eagle Learning School Board, and the Vail Therapeutic Board. I feel I have a lot to offer to you and the students, and I will support you as our school system goes forward,” stated Brown in the letter. Brown lost her re-election bid to current Mayor Mike Seferian in 2009. Paul Magdich, assistant chief of police, also wants to be considered for the seat. He has been a public servant in the city for more than 28 years. Magdich started as a patrolman in the Oregon Police Division in 1986. He later became a police sergeant, detective sergeant, assistant chief of police, and acting chief. “I have helped to build a solid relationship between the school system and the police division, and have supported the partnership of both organizations on a daily basis,” said Magdich in his cover letter to the school board. I believe that through these acts and others, I have demonstrated a commitment to this community and its citizens both young and old. I have also been a coach at Clay High School for 10 years. I believe that I have a solid reputation in this community as an advocate for Oregon. I have considerable experience with labor issues and contract negotiations, as I have negotiated as past president of both the command officers’ and patrolmen’s unions

and on behalf of the city in my current position. I believe that to be a valuable asset, as well with contract negotiations pending.” Brandon Williams, pastor of Hope Community Church in Oregon, is also interested. “As a former teacher, I have personally experienced the challenges of educating students that come from a variety of backgrounds and home environments,” he stated in his letter. “As a pastor, I have developed the skills to cast a compelling vision for an organization, share and celebrate the right success stories to foster energy and momentum, and to raise funding in order to provide the resources needed to continually live into the vision.” Diana Gadus, who was elected to the board in 2009, but did not seek re-election last November, sent a letter to the board seeking appointment to the seat. “All of my business, community and education experiences provide me with unique insights, which I have drawn on to support my decisions as a previous school board member,” said Gadus in her letter to the board. She is currently a substitute teacher for Toledo Public Schools and Washington Local Schools. She is also an independent consultant as a mental athletic coach. Gadus often bumped heads with Kapfhammer while she was on the board.

In 2012, she alleged that Kapfhammer made threatening comments to her at a policy meeting in the conference room of the administration building. She filed an incident report with the school administration about the heated meeting. Gadus had stated that she and Kapfhammer had been discussing contract renewals for the next board meeting when the verbal altercation occurred. Kapfhammer at the time denied he had threatened her. Gadus told The Press last week that she is not interested in returning to the board because Kapfhammer resigned. “Absolutely not. I loved being on the school board,” said Gadus. She said she did not seek re-election because she started working full-time, and she wanted to spend more time with her six children and two grandchildren. “Life got busy,” she said. “Children need a lot of time and energy. It became too much. I didn’t think I had time to put into it. Since then, my husband and I made some changes that freed up more time. Life is more peaceful, calm and relaxing.”

Jaeger at the public hearing. “I have nothing against Jaeger,” said Linda Wise, of Pickle Road. “I sympathize with him that somehow someone has misaligned all this zoning back there. But his property is a 32 year old business. Just in the last four weeks, he’s now just noticed it’s unsightly after 32 years. I’m sure he’s cleaning that up because he wants the zoning change. The better his property looks, the more likely you’re going to say he deserves that zoning change. I know nobody believes Michigan sand is hazardous. I worked in an industrial area my entire life. It’s not the sand. It’s what he’s sandblasting off. Is it a carcinogen, is it lead paint? It’s not just the sand that’s blowing around out there. It’s what he’s removing with that sand. And I think that needs to be addressed,” she said. Phil Cervantes, of South Stadium Road, also claimed Jaeger is fixing up his property because he wants council to approve the zoning change. “It’s been about 16 years since the overpass has been in. It’s been 16 years we’ve had to put up with that filth and eyesore. Blatant disregard for the environment. Blatant disregard for the zoning laws. And blatant disregard for the citizens who live on South Stadium and Pickle roads. That’s what we’re contesting right now. He could care less because now he wants something. In the 16 years he’s been sitting on it, he hasn’t done a single thing. Please think before you vote that C-2 in.” Even though the property has been an eyesore for 16 years, at least Jaeger is cleaning it up, said Seferian. “It is this zoning change that instituted improvement on that property. But it did happen,” he said. Gilmore said his department has not received any complaints about the property. Mary Ann Achter, of South Stadium Road, said she has concerns about whether the sandblasting is hazardous. “I don’t have a problem with Jaeger having a business there, but what’s going on with the business,” said Achter. She said she saw several violations on the Environmental Protection Agency’s website dealing with sandblasting on the property. “There are farmers who are farming right across from where Mr. Jaeger is sandblasting,” she said. “Is it safe for us and the farmers, for the corn growing in the fields? No, it is not. We asked the EPA if they were allowed to sandblast, and they said `No. it’s against the law.’ So that’s another thing I’m concerned with.” She said it’s the responsibility of city

officials to find out from the EPA “what’s going on with that property” before the zoning change request is approved. Council President Dennis Walendzak said it’s the responsibility of the EPA to look into the matter, not the city. “They have the authority, not city governments,” said Walendzak. “If the sandblasting is such a big deal, I can quit doing it,” said Jaeger. Seferian said it would be a “moot point” because sandblasting on the property is not in compliance with the local zoning code “unless it’s in an inside contained area.” Council voted unanimously to approve the zoning change for Jaeger. Residential zoning David Golis, of Pickle Rd, bought property across the street from Graham’s property nearly three years ago. It currently has C-2 zoning and he has requested that it be rezoned to R-1 residential. “The businesses that front on Navarre have been there for a long time. They’ve always been there. I think they have the right to continue to exist there. But just like the rest of my neighbors, I’m concerned about it expanding, and coming around further down Stadium Road relocated, infringing into our residential neighborhood and disrupting our residential use. So I took this opportunity to talk to Mr. Gilmore about possibly changing our zoning as a way to prevent that from continuing to spread and infringing into the rest of the residential zones.” Seferian said that changing zoning to residential on Golis’ property would be a “better fit across the street and a better buffer to the residential properties. “The neighbors will be happy,” Seferian said after the meeting. He doubts there will be more requests for commercial zoning in that area in the foreseeable future. “We’ve gotten most of it addressed,” he said after the meeting. Also at the meeting, council approved the mayor’s appointment of Mike Mullins, of Piper Drive, to the position of assistant fire chief. The position pays $41.77 per hour, or $86,873.02 annually. The position became vacant after Paul Mullen, former assistant fire chief, was appointed to the fire chief position a few weeks ago. Mullen replaced former Fire Chief Ed Ellis, who retired earlier this year. “I just want to say thank you for your support and continued support in the future,” said Mullins to council. “I look forward to the future. I’m very excited.”

Stop the ranting To the editor: Congressman Bob Latta is ranting and raving about the emission restrictions proposed by President Obama, who is trying to get some control on carbon regulations at power plants. Mr. Latta said he is worried about the loss of thousands of energy and manufacturing jobs and higher energy cost for the consumers. Where did he get his facts? New climate policy rules for power plants won’t be enough to save this planet, but it’s a start. They are by far the most important environmental initiative since the Clean Air Act. We are sick and tired of him doing nothing for us in the 5th Congressional District. If Latta would spend less time degrading the president, we would have millions of jobs for the working class. Consider health reform. Despite a chaotic start, it’s looking like a success. Remember how the critics said nobody was

My question is, when did it become OK to operate golf carts, ATVs, dirt bikes, minibikes and go carts on public roadways? No age limit – 5 years of age to 80. No license, lights, turn signals, insurance or

respect for traffic laws. I have personally seen the sheriff wave to these people. Is it going to take another tragedy before something is done? It’s a matter of time before somebody gets hurt or killed. This is not an island or a golf course. If we’re going to allow this activity, it should at least be regulated with age limits. I’m all for having fun, but at what cost? I see more every day. Now trailer loads come out on weekends. These people don’t even live here. What will it take to end this activity?

Tour a success To the editor: Being a part of the first

Oregon Lawn and Garden Tour, held June 21, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Linda Wise and her committee, Nancy Nopper and Betty Metz, for the hard work they did organizing and planning this fundraising event for the Oregon-Jerusalem Historical Society. Along with the OJHS officers and many volunteers, they did Oregon proud. Many hours were spent on signs, contributions, home participation, tour directions, etc. More than 300 tickets were sold and there were 10 Oregon residents who opened their yards for viewing. I, for one, was happy to be a part of this event and hope that it will continue. After the success of the Lawn and Garden Tour, I find it depressing that Navarre Avenue has yet another car parts store being built. I believe that Oregon residents deserve more than car part stores and used card lots. Hopefully it won’t be long before we can entice a big box store and a few more restaurants.

Keeping focused on the big picture vital to your success Your life is great. You have a loving family and a job you really enjoy. One day, two hours after arriving at work, you notice you have on two different socks. You are embarrassed and berate yourself for being so stupid. Your whole day is thrown off. This is what happens when you are not looking at the big picture. As a result, you allowed a small insignificant issue to capture your emotions. You lost sight of the big picture, wasting your time and energy on something that did not matter. Unfortunately, it’s very easy to become distracted by meaningless events. Life is not perfect. Flaws can always be found by picking apart a specific issue. The more it is magnified, the more imperfections are evident. As you zoom in, you lose sight of the big picture. Consider another scenario. You are looking to move. You have been searching for your perfect house for over a year. You have become discouraged with not being able to find what you want. Then one day you discover a beautiful brand new house

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden in your price range. You walk inside and are impressed by the design. The layout is perfect. The rooms have a comfortable feeling. The location is wonderful. It seems like a wonderful place to live. You buy the house and are thrilled to move in. After being there a few weeks you notice a board here and there that wasn’t cut perfectly. One of the doors squeaks sometimes. Additionally, you wish there was a little more closet space. Is your house now tainted by these minor issues? No, it is the same house you were ecstatic about just a few weeks before when you were still looking at the big picture. The problems started when you stopped appreciating your wonderful new home in its entirety and began to search for

PRESS The

problems. It is a shame if the enjoyment of your home is diminished by these insignificant issues which cause you to forget how much effort it took to locate your house. This is exactly what happens in life; you allow trivial issues to overshadow true enjoyment. Anything can be picked apart and criticized. Success is based on looking at the big picture rather than using a microscope to find something wrong. When you focus on problems your attitude turns negative. By appreciating all that is right, you generate a positive outlook. However, by concentrating on the small picture you become immersed in relatively meaningless minutia. Most of these are no more than minor annoyances that quickly fade over time. When you become fixated on them, you squander effort that could be put to much better use cultivating the big picture. Don’t sweat the small stuff when it comes to problems. Always ask yourself, “Does this really matter?” Most of the time

you will find it doesn’t. So let the small stuff go so you can refocus on the big picture. Another aspect of the big picture is appreciating what is really important. Some of the things to consider are relationships, health, happiness, joy, and low stress, along with a genuine gratitude for all the good things in your life. Looking at the big picture is a positive strategy with numerous benefits. Whenever you start focusing on flaws, refocus on the big picture. People who are flaw oriented are a bad influence. Don’t buy into their negative outlook otherwise they will drag you down. Where you are going in life and what you are doing comprises your big picture.

Clay gets 11 selections on All-Press first, second teams By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com

2014 Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Softball

Clay softball coach Brenda Radabaugh was optimistic before the season began. She had reason to be. The 2013 Three Rivers Athletic Conference champions returned 10 letter winners, including Three Rivers Athletic Conference player of the year Honnah Susor, a Division I honorable mention AllOhio selection. This year, the senior outfielder is first team All-Ohio after batting .592 (58 for 98) with 58 hits, 62 runs, seven home runs, 46 RBIs, and 36 stolen bases. Susor was voted the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Slugger of the Year in voting by 10 area coaches and four media members, but her fielding and her speed (36 stolen bases) played a major role in that, too. “Honnah has a great eye at the plate,” Clay coach Brenda Radabaugh said. “She has struck out six times in 121 plate appearances. Honnah is an outstanding outfielder with a very strong arm. “Part of it is she’s fast, and there’s a saying, ‘Speed never slumps,’” Radabaugh continued to tell The Press. “In the past, I would say Honnah did a lot of dragging and slapping just to get on base. This year, she’s relied on that very few times — maybe two or three of her hits are drag or slap. “Now, she’s just swinging away and she’s making such good contact that she’s hitting the ball really well. Speed is an issue there, too, where some kids may get thrown out on a ball, Honnah can beat it out. If she puts a ball anywhere that is not right at anybody, she’s going to be safe.” Also getting votes for the All-Press top offensive honor were Eastwood senior first baseman Cassidy Rolf, a Division II AllOhio second team selection, Northwood senior Alyson Siebert, and Cardinal Stritch junior Drew Fancher, but Susor got 10 of 14 nods in open voting. Susor is joined on the All-Ohio team by classmate Brooke Gallaher, a second team all-state senior pitcher who went 16-2 with a 2.23 ERA, who is also first team AllPress. The Eagles not only defended their TRAC championship, they went on to post a 28-3 overall record and were a perfect 14-0 in the league. Radabaugh, who has a record of 29198 in 14 years at Clay, and 444-156 overall, saw her team lose a regional semifinal to Elyria, 8-6, in extra innings. She is the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Co-Coach of the Year, tying in voting with Eastwood coach Joe Wyant. Eastwood finished 27-2 and defeated Elmwood in what became the Northern Buckeye Conference championship game at the end of the season. It’s pretty much been the Eagles and Royals at the top of league action for the past six years, dating back to the Suburban Lakes League days. The Eagles won league titles in 2014, 2012 and ‘09 while the Royals have claimed the top spot in ‘10, ‘11 and ‘13 with Eastwood finishing second all three times. All in all, the entire NBC fared well, gathering eight first team selections and seven second team. “Of course there are Elmwood, and Woodmore, which both have got a good team — their offense has really improved,” Wyant said. “Genoa has got some good ath-

letes and I think they're better than their record. And I think you could say the same about Lake. I think our league is very good top to bottom.” Finishing close behind Radabaugh and Wyant in All-Press COY voting was Oak Harbor coach Chris Rawski, and Gibsonburg coach Marty Brown and Woodmore coach Aaron Clouse also got votes. All-Press Pitcher of the Year honors went to another first team All-Ohio pick, Woodmore senior Madeline Phillips.

Phillips, in 154.2 innings, struck out 212 batters and gave up just 26 earned runs while posting a 1.18 ERA. She got exactly 50 percent of the votes. Splitting the other 50 percent were Gallaher, Fancher, and Eastwood senior Sam Shirling. This is the first year that coaches were allowed to vote for the All-Press teams in baseball and softball.

Rocket softball beats odds — gets 3 first team picks By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com One of the first to suggest that the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Softball Team should be determined by a vote of coaches and media was Oak Harbor coach Chris Rawski. For Rawski’s Rockets, it paid off. Rawski, who previously was an assistant under former Genoa coach Tom Kontak, did not have a single player get first team All-Sandusky Bay Conference. But in voting with four Northern Buckeye Conference schools, three Toledo Area Athletic Conference schools and one school each from the Three Rivers Athletic Conference and Toledo City League, Oak Harbor had three first team picks. That’s what Rawski was seeking, and other coaches back him up on the premise. Previously, for years, the All-Press Team was taken directly from coaches’ choices to their all-league teams, partly because by the time the season was done school was out and communication for nominations, ballots, and voting might be difficult. It was also done that way because the conference reflects the type of competition and school-size each team faces, which is all relative. This year, voting was done by baseball and softball coaches and media and it appears the results reflect what Rawski has been saying. Hopefully, Rawski thinks so, too, because his team finished 18-11 overall and only 6-8 in the SBC. His All-Press first team picks are senior second baseman Justine Webb, sophomore second baseman Olivia Rollins and freshman designated player Emma Bergman, who is a pitcher but rewarded for her hit-

ting. Webb was voted second team All-SBC last year and this year, and honorable mention in 2012. This year, she led the team in most offensive categories. “She was our vocal leader and an-

chored our lineup,” Rawski said. “Playing in a very tough SBC, she was able to produce consistently throughout the season.” The speedy Rollins is a left-handed slap hitter who led the team in stolen bases (18).

“Olivia came into the year a big question mark, but ended up leading us in average (.433),” Rawski said. “She started the year at the end of the lineup and finished as a very productive lead-off hitter. She played an outstanding second base and will be a huge part of our program moving forward.” At the plate, Bergman set Oak Harbor’s single season record for runs scored at 34 (previously 33), but even more so at the plate, where she was chosen second team All-Press. Bergman set the program’s single season records for wins with 18 (old record, 17) and threw 180.2 out of the Rockets’ 189.2 innings this season. “This is despite playing in a very tough SBC and a tough non-league schedule,” Rawski said. “She was a key to the Rockets success this season and will be for the considerable future.” Also second team is another freshman, catcher Maddy Rathbun. “Maddy was one of the best defensive catchers in the area,” Rawski said. “She didn’t record an error for the whole season and was very good throwing out potential base stealers. She showed maturity beyond her years as a freshman and caught almost every inning of every game this season. She also hit anywhere from first to fourth in our lineup.” Joining the two freshmen on the second team are sophomore center fielder Brandy Lochotzki. “If you had a chance to see Brandy play center field this season, you would have seen some amazing defense,” Rawski said. “She runs down everything from gap to gap. She improved offensively this season and will continue to do so as a leader for our team moving forward.”

Third base official says Brooke Gallaher was ‘leaping’

“

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com

I still feel sick when I think about that game.

“

The only thing missing from the fifthranked Clay softball team’s 2014 resume is a regional championship or even state championship. The Eagles finished 28-3 overall, a perfect 14-0 in the TRAC, won sectional and district titles, but lost in the regional semifinal 8-6 in eight innings to No. 4 Elyria (237), which went on to qualify for the state final four after shutting out No. 1 BrecksvilleBroadview Heights, 4-0, in the regional final. The problem is that Clay coaches and players feel as if they were slighted in the regional semifinal at Clyde High School. Helping contribute to the loss to Elyria was the fact that senior pitcher Brooke Gallaher, a Division I second team All-Ohio pitcher, was called for an illegal pitch five times by the third base umpire, twice with runners on third base. They were both allowed to score, like they would if a balk were called in baseball. Many softball fans and coaches, including Clay coach Brenda Radabaugh, who watched the game or saw video do not feel Gallaher, a first team selection on the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Team, was violating any rule. “I still feel sick when I think about that game. It will take a while to get over it,” Radabaugh, the All-Press Co-Coach of the Year, emailed The Press. The Ohio High School Athletic Association would not provide The Press with contact information for the official who made the call. Jerry Fick, the OHSAA’s Director of Officials Development for softball, says he contacted the official who made

Clay senior pitcher Brooke Gallaher. (Press photo by Scott Grau) the calls and forwarded this explanation — “The nature of the violation was the same in each case — leaping. NFHS Rule 2-33 defines a leap as ‘when both feet are airborne by the pitcher prior to delivering the pitch. A leap is an illegal pitch.’” But not everyone saw it that way, including some Elyria fans.

Elyria Chronicle-Telegram sportswriter Bob Daniels emailed The Press, “I did talk to some Elyria fans who were at the game and they were still scratching their heads over the illegal pitch calls. Couldn’t figure them out because they didn’t know what the Clay pitcher did wrong. Tough way to lose a regional game.

“If she’s been pitching like that all season and no one called it, she can’t very well learn in one afternoon under the pressure of a regional tournament game. Shame. I hate to see the officials decide the outcome of a game no matter what the sport is and who the teams are,” Daniels continued. Umpires are chosen for tournament action in part based on coaches’ ratings. The umpire making the call lives in Northeast Ohio, and Radabaugh notes that since the official works that district, it is mostly those coaches who have the opportunity to see her during the regular season who can offer a rating. Local youth travel softball coach Michael Foster told The Press that when a pitcher’s foot leaves the rubber, it often has to be airborne because of the half-inch space that the foot falls going from the rubber to the dirt. Foster said when a pitcher does “crowhop,” which is coaches’ slang for “leaping,” it is not advantageous and he believes the rule needs to be modified or eliminated. Foster has played a role in developing many pitchers, including his daughters Christine and Whitney, who starred at Eastwood, and knows the Gallaher family.

First team All-Ohioan Phillips heading to Urbana By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Woodmoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s softball team didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win any sectional, district or regional titles this season. The Wildcats didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even win their own conference title, finishing 14-8 overall under seventh-year coach Aaron Clouse. Woodmore did, however, improve on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mark, and senior pitcher Madeline Phillips impressed a lot of people along the way. The four-year starter was named the Northern Buckeye Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pitcher of the Year, is this year's Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Pitcher of the Year and she then added first team All-Ohio honors in Division III. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It spoke a lot to the respect that she got from other coaches,â&#x20AC;? Clouse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get that with numbers alone, but respect throughout her career. Other coaches saw her battle for four years on the mound and how tough she was to beat, even without a very strong offensive team. Five of our eight losses were by one run.â&#x20AC;? Rival coaches both local and state-wide didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just pick Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; name out of a hat. The 5-foot-7 right-hander paid her dues, to

be sure, but she also went 14-8 with a 1.18 ERA, 212 strikeouts and 18 walks in 154.2 innings She also posted some serious numbers at the plate. Phillips batted a school-record .600 this season, with 21 runs, 27 RBI, 10 stolen bases and one home run. Phillips, who hit over .500 last season, batted third in the Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; order. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just worked hard in the offseason, hitting off the tee,â&#x20AC;?

Ramirez taking defensive skills to San Francisco college Marissa Ramirez (Northwood), who held two of the nation’s leading scorers to zero goals in the National Junior College Athletic Association Division I National Tournament, is headed to NCAA Division II Academy of Art University. The sophomore defender held Butler Community College’s Morgan Foster, the nation’s leading scorer, and Darton State’s Lyana Perez, the nation’s third leading scorer, without a point in their games against Owens in the national tournament this past fall. That duo combined for 81 goals and 190 points this past season. Ramirez recorded one goal and two assists as a sophomore. She scored her lone career goal in a win over Delta College on Oct. 23. Following the season, she was named National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Second Team AllRegion XII and NSCAA All-Central Region. Additionally, she was the recipient of the team’s Coaches Award for the second straight season. The 2012 Northwood High School graduate was named Second Team AllRegion XII after her freshman year, as well. Ramirez joins Erika Brinkman (Purdue University Calumet, NAIA), Jill Burkholder (University of Saint Francis, NAIA) and Elizabeth Theaker (MidAmerica Nazarene University, NAIA) as one of four sophomores to sign with four-year schools from last year’s Owens soccer team. Academy of Art University finished 3-14-1, but will be led by first-year head coach Katie Awerkamp, as well as former Owens women’s soccer head coach Mary Whisler, who is in her first year as an assistant there. The team competes in the Pacific West Conference (PacWest). (— by Owens Sports Information Director Nick Huenefeld)

Rase calls honor ‘special’ Gibsonburg baseball coach Kyle Rase, in his 10th season as the Golden Bears’ head coach, led Gibsonburg (23-5, 8-4 TAAC) to the most wins in school history this season. His 2012 squad held the previous record, with 21 victories. The Toledo Area

Athletic Conference coaches named him Coach of the Year. “Overall, we had an outstanding season,” Rase said. “I knew we could have a good season. We had good senior leaders. We had hitters returning and good pitching returning. We had the pieces of the puzzle,

Four of our losses were by a total of five runs.” Rase said being named conference coach of the year was special. “It was kind of neat, especially with the quality of coaches we have in the league,” he said. “I have great assistant coaches and great kids. I don’t look at it like a coach of the year award. It’s sort of a program of a year award. Without my assistant coaches and senior leaders…that’s what this award is about. These players were developed by a good jayvee coach.” Katafias served as Rase’s varsity assistant coach, and Justin Edgell is the Bears’

Garden Center

jayvee coach. “We had a great group of (six) seniors who were good role models,” Rase said. “They did exactly what they were supposed to do. There weren’t any off the field issues and they played hard and got along well together. That makes it a lot easier to coach.” Rase also received votes from 10 area coaches and media members for Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Coach of the Year, but the lead vote-getter was Lake coach Greg Wilker, who got his 500th career victory during the season and led his team to the regional tournament.

eek: Putting Gratitude in Our Lives

We all know how nice it is to be thanked for some small kindness or good deed which we have done for another. But perhaps more important than the warm feeling that we get when someone expresses their gratitude to us, is the positive outlook that gratitude usually engenders in the person who is grateful. That is, the feeling of being grateful helps to keep us focused on the positive. Instead of harping on how bad things are, or regretting the past, gratitude looks for the positive aspect and the silver lining. And although we all may occasionally feel sorry for ourselves, we can alleviate some of these feelings by

Our good health, having friends and family who care about us, and even something as mundane as going to work, are truly things for which we ought to be grateful.

Oregon to hold meetings on senior center issues By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon will schedule public meetings this summer to gage public input on the functions and location of a senior center. Council President Dennis Walendzak said the city will schedule public meetings once the city has substantive proposals to discuss. Walendzak spoke in response to a letter submitted by residents who raised concerns about whether city officials were adequately addressing the needs of seniors. “I just wanted to assure those citizens that when the time comes, we’ll be hosting meetings to get public feedback and public comments in regards to the levy funds and the senior center,” said Walendzak. “We’re just not to that point yet. We’re trying to do our due diligence so we understand what some of those needs may be prior to having everybody come in and giving us all their thoughts and trying to get an understanding. [Councilman Terry] Reeves has been involved in that. [Administrator] Beazley also. So just to those citizens who sent that letter, I just want you to know that we will be addressing your concerns and your needs here in the near future.” In the letter, residents noted that there has been considerable discussion about a new senior center since about 2000. “There have been surveys, preliminary designs, committees and meetings for a senior center, but nothing has happened,” states the letter. “Oregon has a small inadequate senior center compared to other communities of similar size. Sylvania has the nicest multi-use senior center that is 22,000 square feet with quilting, woodworking, computer room, exercise and dance room, and more.” The letter also states that the city was committed to building a senior center on a portion of property the city purchased years ago that is adjacent to the municipal complex property, but “that has not happened.” “Instead Oregon invested in a seasonally used large soccer complex with a new concession stand and restrooms at a cost of over $1 million. There has been nothing spent for a year round senior center that would offer

services to over half of Oregon’s population,” states the letter. Oregon has had large projects that have yielded additional income tax revenue that can pay for a senior center, states the letter. “Furthermore, Oregon retired debt on the municipal complex some years ago that freed up a capital funding resource for a senior center.” Last November, Oregon passed a levy for senior services “with promises made for an open discussion about a senior center and senior services,” states the letter. “There was one council committee meeting for those offering senior services. That meeting was followed by recent private meetings to discuss senior services as well as who would provide the services.” The letter requests an open well publicized meeting where Oregon citizens can

“The focus of our meetings right now is on senior services that are needed – anything from socialization, respite care for families and exercise classes,” he said. “The mayor, council and administration are all committed to moving forward thoughtfully with an investment in infrastructure and additional services. We just want to make sure we get it right. We don’t want to spend the community’s resources duplicating services that are already available, building space that is already available in some other settings,” said Beazley. Years ago, a “strong consideration” had been given to building a senior center on property adjacent to the municipal complex, but estimated costs for construction and maintenance were thought to be too expensive, he added.

offer suggestions on a senior center location and suggested functions. “After the meeting, we ask that there be a cost/location/administration comparison on suggested locations, functions, etc. The second meeting should be no more than 60 days from the first meeting,” states the letter. Beazley told The Press last week that he is currently meeting with various community partners “to make sure we have a strong understanding of what resources are available.” “We’ll have a public meeting that presents real information about what resources are available, what services are most in demand,” he said. There have been no discussions about whether there is the need to build a new senior center, which he called a separate issue.

Your Services Change, Your Prices Change, Why Does Your Yellow Page Ad Stay The Same? An ad should be flexible... Like your business. Not chiseled in stone like a stagnant yellow page ad. So consider this...

1: With cell phones, caller i.d., internet directories, search engines and competing phone books there is less reason to go to a phone book with your ad in it. On the other hand, you have The Press in your hands just like your potential customers living or working in 33,892 homes and businesses in your market area. For less than $21 a week, you can reach them in The Press Expert Section. 2: You can frequently change the size and copy of your ad in The Press to advertise seasonal offers, special prices, new products & new services. 3: Each lively issue of The Press is full of news, information and features from 20 towns and their surrounding areas in Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky and Wood Counties. More than 475 businesses and individuals use The Press each week to sell goods and services.
