Dismal outlook for some farm fields By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com As the waters receded last week, farmers, home and business owners and public officials took time last week to scan the aftermath of severe rainstorms. It wasn’t a pretty picture. Mike Libben, program administrator for the Ottawa Soil and Water District, said some corn fields had just gotten dry enough for growers to side-dress their crops (mix fertilizer into the soil along rows of growing plants) when the storm hit on June 27. “The damage is done I think,” he said. “We were within a few days of some fields being able to be replanted or first time planting. I would imagine doing any planting/replanting is out the door now as it will need a solid week or more to dry up.” He said he heard reports of rain from 3.5 inches to 6.5 inches in Ottawa County. “Rivers and ditches are still high, but we are getting all the Wood County water running down here too, so that will take a few more days before levels return to normal, “ he said Tuesday. Another major concern is the wheat crop as growers worry if fields will be dry enough to start harvesting in the 10 days or

“

They’ll certainly want to get that crop out without damaging the fields.

“

The City of Oregon was not much different than any other local community that received a historic rain event on Saturday, June 27, except it had to deal with lakeshore flooding. Oregon logged in 6.03 inches of rain at the municipal complex in one day’s time. City officials say this is the largest singleday rain storm event on record for the city. This equates to a 200-year reoccurrence interval storm event, or in other words, this storm has a less than one-half percent of a chance of occurring once in a year. The highest intensity rain occurred between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m., where 3.15 inches fell. Combined with the observed 7.26 inches of rain over the past 30 days, this amounted to 13.29 inches of rain over the past month. For comparison, Oregon’s average annual precipitation is 34.2 inches, per climatology data. “The main factor was that we had seven inches of rain in just the four weeks leading up to that day, which is a very unusual amount of rain to have for that window of time,” Oregon City Administrator Michael J. Beazley said. “So, our ground was already saturated and our farm fields were already saturated, so there really wasn’t any opportunity for the rainfall to get absorbed.” Unusual winds and a system that wouldn’t move, however, meant properties along the lakeshore dealt with property damage. “The final straw was that we ended up with very strong northeast winds that backed up our stream system and led to lakeshore flooding that our residents had to deal with,” Beazley said. “Even if it hadn’t rained, it would have led to some flooding because of such a strong northeast wind. It was really in some ways was a perfect storm of challenges that led to real problems with both storm water and also because the system got overwhelmed with sanitary sewer water as well.” Despite residents reeling from flooding damage, he doesn’t know of anyone who remains displaced or homeless. “For the most part, I think all of our people are all home, but there were a couple places which ended up with structural damage to the home — the basement walls

so. “They’ll certainly want to get that crop out without damaging the fields. Hay producers are also on the sidelines with nothing baled. They should be working on the second cutting by now,” Libben said. If flooding and ponding in corn fields don’t kill crops, area growers may still have to contend with fields suffering from stalk or root rot later in the growing season, according to Peter Thomson, an Ohio State University Extension agronomist, said. Crops in earlier growth stages are at most risk of not surviving or being less pro-

ductive, he said. Insurance claim questions Robin Purkey, of the Purkey Insurance Agency, said her office in Northwood received about 18 calls from clients inquiring about filing claims. “Some folks had rising groundwater on their property and some had problems in their basements because their sump pumps couldn’t keep up or failed,” she said. “The number of claims was high. We had so much rain that day. We had a lot more calls than we’ve had during other storms.” The majority of the agency’s clients are in Lucas, Wood and Ottawa counties. “Coverage for those types of things depend on the policy. If it’s rising groundwater coming in, say, through a basement window or it floods your garage, those types of things would have to be covered by an actual flood policy; a federal program for flood insurance. But if people have a back-up in their sewer in the basement and they have the proper endorsement on their homeowner’s policy, that can be covered by a special endorsement.” Like a fish out of water In Lake Township, about two feet of Continued on page 5

Oak Harbor’s Riders Unlimited turns attention to vets By Alex Sobel Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Since 1996, Riders Unlimited has offered what is known as therapeutic riding — therapy involving the use of horses — to people with disabilities. As of this past Friday, they’ve added a new program specifically aimed to assist veterans. The program, called Cavalry Campaigners, kicked off with Cavalry Camp on July 3 at the Riders Unlimited facility, located at 3140 North Behlman Road, Oak Harbor. “There’s more of a need now for therapeutic riding (for veterans) than ever before,” said Rebekah Recker, Program Director for Riders Unlimited. “It’s something we’ve been trying to get off the ground for years. We’ve moved locations, now we have our own facility, we have the horses capable of doing this- we feel like we’re ready to offer (this program) to veterans who are interested.” Therepuetic riding has been around decades and even began as a way to assist vets coming back from war. “(Therepuetic ridng) began in the 70’s, mostly with Vietnam vets,” said Recker. “They figured out that a horse’s movement is similar to a human’s natural movement, so (Riders Unlimited) is able to utilize that to provide therapy by putting people on the backs of the horses. So, while someone’s on the back of the horse, we can manipulate how their muscles move, how their hips moves, things like that to imitate walking in order to stimulate those nerves and muscles.” The range of disabilities that can benefit from Riders Unlimited is varied and includes not only physical disabilities, but emotional and mental ones, as well. “It could be a physical disability or it could be PTSD or some other trauma,” Recker said. No matter what a person’s disability is, the therapy always begins as if it were a normal horse-riding lesson. “What we try to do is to teach (those in the program) to ride a horse to the best of their ability,” Recker said. “So, we’re giving them a riding lesson, but while we’re giving them a riding les-

Juli is checking out her horse, Levi. Riders Unlimited, in Oak Harbor, has started catering toward providing riding therapy for veterans. (Photo courtesy of Juli) son, we’re doing therapy and they don’t realize it. We’re able to mask the therapy in a non-clinical setting.” After getting comfortable with horses, the specifics of the therapy begins to be aimed directly at how to best help each individual. “Each lesson is individualized to what the riders needs are,” said Recker. “For somebody who has really tight muscles, I’m going to put them on a horse that has a nice elongated gait so that I can stretch those muscles and get them to relax. If I have someone who has very low muscle tone, then I’m going give them a more active moving horse that’s going to stimulate their natural reflexes to tighten up.” A lot of veterans are also coming home

with traumas associated with their service, and Riders Unlimited is prepared with a specific kind of therapeutic riding for them. “For (someone coming to us with) anxiety, a lot of what we would do is letting them know how their anxiety can affect the horse,” Recker said. “The horse can pick up on their body language. When we get anxious, it changes the pitch of your voice, it changes your breathing pattern, it changes how tight your muscles are. So you can look at the horse that you’re working with and by reading their body language you can learn to settle yourself down.” Riders Unlimited has seven horses in the program — all donations — as well as one they’re trying out and another one

they’re borrowing. It’s a long period of testing before horses are allowed to be a part of the therapy and only certain types of horses make it. “(The horses) have to have a huge heart and a forgiving personality. They have to be able to tolerate, sometimes, screaming and yelling, be comfortable around wheelchairs, things like that,” said Recker. According to Recker, the horses are able to be beneficial for so many different types of disabilities because of their responsive and emotionally reflexive nature. “Horses are nonjudgmental, they take you in the moment when you’re there,” she said. “They can tell when you’re having a bad day and sometimes just being with them can stimulate the chemicals in your body to make you feel better.” Having a variety of horses allows for certain horses to be paired off with people who have the kind of disabilities best suited to that horse’s temperament. “Somebody with, for example, depression, we’re going to put them on a very kind horse and try to form a relationship between the person and that horse,” Recker said. Of course, it isn’t just horses who provide therapy. Riders Unlimited also requires the assistance of volunteers to help out, especially with their new veterans program. ‘We’d love to have volunteers for this program, especially active military personnel or even other veterans who don’t have a disability. There’s a different mind set in the military, so if we could get (volunteers) who can relate to (those receiving therapy), that would be great.” Riders Unlimited has made it appoint to provide their services for veterans without burdening them with the cost of therapy. “When it comes to the veterans program, we are not charging any fee for that because they have served us,” said Recker. And for the veterans that Riders Unlimited provides therapy for, Recker hopes that they can help all of them in a way that’s meaningful to each individual. “If someone has anxiety and we’re able to help them leave their house comfortably, that would be great,” she said.

Despite bird ban

Pool repair donations

County fairs poultry shows will go on By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com After an initial bout of disappointment over the Ohio Department of Agriculture decision to cancel live bird exhibitions this year, members of 4-H and Future Farmers of America clubs in Ottawa County are eager to still showcase their projects at the upcoming county fair. “We have put together a good plan to still provide as much of the experience for those exhibitors as possible,” said Kathy Booher, Extension Educator, 4-H Youth Development. “We want to emphasize the educational portion of this. We still have activities to assess their knowledge and that will continue.” The fair is scheduled to run July 20-26. In its June 2 announcement canceling all live bird exhibitions this year, even the agriculture department called it an “aggressive move.” The ban covers county and independent fairs, the Ohio State Fair and others, including swap meets. But with the state’s $2.3 billion poultry industry at stake, state officials didn’t want to take any chance with the extremely contagious avian flu virus that primarily affects domestic poultry. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed the virus in late 2014. Since then, more than 44 million birds at nearly 200 locations have been affected. Indiana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Michigan have also announced they’re canceling shows for the 2015 fair season. Of those states, only Indiana has had a flock test positive for the avian flu. Booher said the poultry showmanship segment of the Junior Fair will still be held. “We’re going to use stuffed birds,” she said. “Exhibitors can still go through the exercise of how you would show that bird. A lot of the showmanship component is assessing the knowledge of the child. They also are being required to put together a tri-

They’ll then talk about their project, the breed and other aspects of raising poultry. They’ll probably be giving more information to the public about the avian flu. “For years, we have been doing something call skill-a-thons. It’s a hands-on assessment process of what the exhibitor has learned. We do that the Saturday before we go into the fair. If they complete that then their project is considered complete even if they don’t exhibit at the fair.” Typically, there are more than 60 members of 4-H and FFA clubs raising poultry and other animals for exhibit at the Junior Fair, Booher said.

While exhibitors can’t sell their market projects at fairs, the agriculture department is allowing them to participate in premium sales or auctions if live birds aren’t brought to the fairgrounds. If a fair is transporting birds on behalf of exhibitors for processing, the agriculture department is requiring a central drop-off location at least 6.25 miles from any poultry production facilities rather than multiple pick-up sites. According to the agriculture department, Ohio is the second largest egg producer in the country and home to 28 million laying chickens, 12 million broilers, 8.5 million pullets and 2 million turkeys. In Lucas County, where the fair is scheduled for July 14-19, the poultry show will follow a similar format.

Colorado man indicted by grand jury A Colorado man was among those indicted by the Ottawa County Grand Jury after a session June 24. Scott Stokely, 45, of Englewood, Colorado, was indicted on two counts of Possession of Drugs, felonies of the third and fifth degree. Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers arrested Stokely on the Ohio Turnpike near Elmore for possessing hash oil and psilocybin mushrooms. The Grand Jury also indicted: • Erin Halstead, 33, whose last known address is Oak Harbor, was indicted on two counts of Theft, both felonies of the fourth

degree, after she allegedly took several thousands of dollars from a former employer, according to Elmore Police reports. • Erica Morris, 31, of Toledo, and Scott Moell, 32, of Millbury, were each charged with one count of Child Endangering, a felony of the third degree. According to reports from Ottawa County Department of Job and Family Services, the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office and the Ottawa County Dog Warden, Morris and her three children were living with Moell at 4060 N. Sonny Dr., Millbury, earlier this year. Morris and Moell are accused of failing to protect the

The Pemberville Community Pool, which opened July 3, 1966, will celebrate 50 years of continuous operation in 2016. During the past 50 years, thousands of children and adults have benefited from swim lessons and recreational swimming; have participated on swim teams and had summer jobs at the pool. Village officials credit the commitment by the village and dedication of hundreds of community volunteers for keeping the pool going. However, due to numerous leaks, the pool will need a liner, which will cost $62,000. Council hopes to have the liner installed in October. To join the committee and help in the fundraising efforts, contact Pastor James Miller at 419-287-3366. Donations may be sent to “Pool Liner Project,” Village of Pemberville, P.O.

Northeast winds worsen flooding along lakeshore and that sort of thing,� Beazley said. “That was pretty significant. A lot of people ended up with significant basement flooding, but that combination of the lakefront where you have the ditch system can’t drain out because the lake is blowing it back this direction, and the lake was actually coming into the ditches rather than the other way around. That’s a challenge. “The lake is up higher over the last couple years than it was for a several year period prior to that. We had very low water issues just a couple years ago, and now the lake is up higher and that added to the challenge to this storm.� Explaining nature’s wrath Oregon Fire Chief Paul Mullen said there were residents rescued from their homes because of flooding, but most have returned and their homes have been inspected by the Building and Zoning Department. In addition, gas had to be shut off in several homes, but he said “that was

very, very minimal.� Chief Mullen said when the call went out to all 100 members of Oregon’s fire department Saturday, department heads got a strong response. He believes that paid off. “We’re getting there, little by little. There were some tough issues, I’ll tell you that,� Mullen said. “Believe it or not, it was just a long, long tedious day there, and we’re not there yet, but we’re all thankful that nothing serious happened and we were glad to help the community. We did an allcall — contacted every firefighter that was available to come out and help and got a good response from our fire department, which is usual.� Beazley added, “We’ve taken steps. Obviously, our fire crews, our police crews, our street crews really put in long hours on Saturday and Sunday responding to where pumping could do some good, or brush clearing could do some good, where tree limbs or those sort of things were backing up ditches, our crews were out doing a great job getting the roads closed. So, the fire department, the police department and

the roads crews really did some great work out there as it came through. “But, none of those things can really solve a problem for a resident who is dealing with a basement that is flooded or they have lost property, or they have to do some disinfecting, and we understand that. The vast majority of the residents we talked to understand that it is nature, but they don’t always have nature’s phone number so they

call us. “We let people know that there really is no system you can put in place to absorb six inches of rain in a day. It’s a 200-year event and when they ask why things have never been this bad, it’s because we’ve never had a rain that bad. Some folks are understanding and work through it, but we know it’s a really hard time for the residents, too, and the fact there was a record storm doesn’t make them feel any better. They’re dealing with some tough issues. If you look around, you see other communities dealing with the same challenges, obviously.� Mullen and Beazley said the fire department was called to help people who drove through high water and their automobiles stalled. Mullen estimates they had 23 water rescues getting people out of cars stalled in floodwaters. “We had quite a few people, and even though it seemed like there were three cars stuck in floodwater under a viaduct, they seemed to want to drive in it to test the waters themselves,� Beazley said

Red Cross’ clean-up kits go fast, city makes more

After-flood tips In the aftermath of severe flooding across much of the Toledo-area, Columbia Gas of Ohio offers tips to help ensure safety for those with natural gas appliances: Following a flood: • If flooding has already occurred, and if you hear gas escaping, smell gas in multiple rooms, or smell gas inside or outside of the premises, leave the area and call Columbia Gas immediately at 1-800-344-4077 and 911. • If water levels were enough to cover the gas meter, call Columbia Gas to check the meter and regulator before using your gas system. Floodwaters may have shifted your home or caused other stresses to the natural gas piping. • Never attempt to place natural gas appliances back in service. A licensed plumber or contractor will check, clean, repair and pressure test all gas pipes, which may have been clogged with mud or debris. If there is other evidence of a natural gas leak: • Don’t enter the premises. If you smell the odor of natural gas inside your home, leave immediately. • As a precaution, do not smoke, make a spark or flame, switch the lights on/off or raise/lower the windows. • Call the 24-hour emergency number for Columbia Gas of Ohio at 1-800-344-4077 and 911, from nearby.

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com The City of Oregon has been asking people to take precautions, including advising people to be careful when cleaning up floodwaters in their basement and to contact their insurance company for possible coverage. City Administrator Michael J. Beazley said local officials have reached out to emergency management officials, who have indicated there is not enough structural damage to declare a disaster area, yet. He does recognize that there may be individuals who have no flood insurance and may have to take a financial loss. “That’s among the challenges for folks, and that’s a function that if you are in a flood plain, you are required to have insurance as determined by the Army Corps,� Beazley said. “You’ve got it and those folks are glad they had it. “There are other individuals who can have a rider on their plan, which would protect them against back-ups, and those folks who had that are very glad they had it as well. There are other individuals who have chosen not to have that rider, or are facing other more traditional floodwaters, and not back-ups, and those folks don’t have coverage and they are taking a financial hit as well.� Fire Station No. 41 (Seaman/Wynn Roads) has a limited supply of Red Cross

clean-up kits available with disinfectant and other supplies in a five-gallon pail. “We ran out of those very quickly so we took it upon ourselves as a city and a fire department to purchase those same types of supplies,� Oregon Fire Chief Paul Mullen said. “We made about 50 additional kits and they are available here at the fire station. All you have to do is come over and give us your name, your address and a telephone number and I’ll be happy to give you a five gallon pail with everything in it that you’d need to clean up.� Residents hauled tree branches or limbs to the old Senior Center on Bay Shore Road for chipping or they can get them to the edge of the street in their front yard and the Street Division will begin extra pickups next week for a limited time period. Officials are also reminding residents that Oregon has unlimited pick-up through Waste Management. Residents can get any basement debris or other refuse out for their regular pick-up. Trash cans must be less than 35 gallons and weigh no more than 60 pounds. Plastic bags must be less than 40 pounds. Tree limbs and damaged carpet can also be bundled and tied with string and must be in four-foot lengths or less and also weigh no more than 40 pounds each. “Oregon is blessed that we have unlimited pick-up in our refuge contract so you can have as many bags out front as you want and they’ll take it away, and Thursday is our regular pick-up,� Beazley said. Dumpsters were made available the

afternoon of June 30 on the west side of the City Municipal Complex, 5330 Seaman Rd., for items such as building materials, damaged dry wall, flooring, and so forth that could not be picked up by Waste Management. “We did a call around to our residents with our Oregon alert system and let them know that this information is on our website. Building materials, rotted drywall or things like that could be taken to the municipal complex and disposed of there,� Beazley said. For large items such as furniture, appliances, mattresses, carpet, etc., the city says to call 419-698-7016 to schedule pickups. Anyone in need of a clean-up kit can call the Oregon Fire Department at 419698-7111. Mullen says for any other questions, call the fire department at 419-6987020.

You want to be in trades — get in line

Clay responds to student wishes to enter trades

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com In May, Penta Career Center celebrated its 50th birthday, but the school is perhaps more valuable now to its member schools and students than ever before. The only problem is, Penta can’t keep up with the demand to train students for trades, but they are working on it. “I think part of it is there are job openings. In print, radio, and TV, you are hearing in conversation the need for skilled workers. That has been going on for several years,” said Penta Superintendent Ron Matter. “You couple that with, look at the return on investment of a four-year degree. A student comes in, and the parent says, ‘You know, the only way to success is the four-year degree. But, wait a minute, I just read the Wall Street Journal article about the $140,000 a year welder.’ “Now, those kind of success stories — if you talk to any of these larger employers in the region that are needing skilled trade people, they look around their shops, and they’ve got people who are ready to walk out the door because they are in their early and mid-60s, and there is not enough people to backfill those positions.” Yes, making over $100,000 welding and now Penta has to figure out a way to meet the demand. “We take 24 kids a year in welding,” Matter said. “I believe we have 15 or more kids on a waiting list wanting to get in, and we are already full for next year with 24. We’ve had some conversations, ‘Do we have a space in the building to accommodate those students because these things are in demand?’ “I talked about this at an event in Wood County, and I said, ‘We have a supply and demand problem.’ There is a huge demand for the students that we are putting out. We have companies wanting to get kids either as they are graduating coming to work, or getting kids into internship opportunities, but we don’t have enough supply.” According to Rachel Wagner, who will be a senior at Woodmore, classmates Cullin Liskai, Devon Gross, and Todd Williams are three of the lucky ones. She wrote about the three Penta welding students in Window To Woodmore, a student newspaper. Wagner wrote “They have a big desire to succeed because their lab really keeps their attention…During their lab, they learn welding, grinding, torch cutting and flame cutting. These hands-on activities help them to be much more successful in their careers later in life.” Williams said, “Penta gives you the opportunity to learn skills about a career that you cannot learn at Woodmore,” but it’s much more than that. It’s a future, guaranteed, in many cases. Wagner notes that students take this program because it gives them a good education learning about a job, whose employer will set them up for a career after they graduate from high school. Once welding students graduate, they receive a welding certificate. After they earn their welding certificate, they are able to apply for union white ticket jobs with earning potential of up to $33 per hour. Marshall J. Wolf, Penta’s Career Services Coordinator, says it’s not just welding, it’s almost any trade — construc-

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com In a survey of Clay High School sophomores, over 83 percent of the 276 students indicated they intend on enrolling in a career technical program. Comprehensive high schools — like Clay — kept up with the changes in industry and invested in their labs and equipment. Clay has been working on implementing a new program to address the needs of local manufacturers – including Toledo Refining, Inc. After a year of planning, this program launches the fall of 2015. “Technicians are no longer grease monkeys, but skilled troubleshooters and problem solvers. Machinists are now computer programmers that run million dollar CNC machines,” said

Woodmore High School students Cullin Liskai, Devon Gross and Todd Williams, who will be seniors this fall, are fortunate to be enrolled in Penta Career Center’s welding program. (Photo by Rachel Wagner/Window To Woodmore) tion, electrician, carpentry — you name it, at Penta, there is demand. “We get numerous calls weekly looking for a workforce, looking for a place to partner with us, so they can make their connections and get their paws in the door for students before they go anywhere else,” Wolf said. “The unfortunate thing I have to tell some of these companies — last summer I had the local union looking for 25 residential electricians. I have 15 in the senior class — not enough to fill what they need. I have to tell some of these guys we don’t have the students.” Jon Rife, who supervises Penta’s construction programs and welding programs, says companies are getting desperate to fill needed positions. Penta wants to be the first step toward filling these positions with a native Northwest Ohio workforce. “Especially in manufacturing, construction, and transportation, you are seeing an increase there,” Rife said. “What we are finding and telling students as we go out to the member schools and bring them in, these businesses are recognizing that their workforces are tight, so they starting new programs, they are starting internship programs where they are paying for that additional training after high school, giving them a job, giving them opportunities to go out and make really good money with them, and combine this program with maybe a two-year degree and their journeyman card.” Reaching underclassmen Businesses are even reaching down to high school underclassmen, which they didn’t do before. Rife says new companies are arriving at the school’s door every week, including three new Wood County businesses that wanted to bring juniors into shadow opportunities. For example, First Solar is opening their facility for Penta students to shadow workers because they recognize the need for skilled laborers. Ohio’s largest construction company, which is based in Columbus, brought representatives to Penta last spring because they need workers for Northwest

Ohio projects. Even some unions, which previously did not allow apprenticeships until a worker reaches 18-years-old, are changing that requirement. “In southeast Michigan, in their electrical union up there, they are looking at how we can get 16-year-olds engaged in this,” Wolf said. “We are even starting to place some of our high-level junior students. We want to get them some great real world experience, and there is such a need, that these companies are willing to take younger students.” Some unions are giving apprenticeship credit while a student is in high school, kind of like a student taking college classes while in high school. “Some of the apprenticeship programs are giving students credit for a year, so they might graduate at 17 or 18, but before they apply for that apprenticeship program they might get one year under their belt already. That is one of the way they entice those kids,” Wolf said. “We get requests quite frequently for companies to come in and tell our students what it is all about. They tell them about the wage, about the demand, about the benefits, and tie that in with no college debt and it makes it even more enticing, I believe.” In addition, Wolf says Penta students are receiving training, certification and licensing for free that would “cost big money if done post high school.” For instance, a professional salon academy is a two-year program costing between $18,000-24,000 in Northwest Ohio. Wolf added that Penta’s medical technician students have an opportunity to obtain their phlebotomy certificate for free. He says at some colleges, this is a 12-month program costing around $13,000. He said many of Penta’s students earn college credit through their CT programs, too. They can earn anywhere from 3-18 semester hours depending on the program. (Excerpts from Woodmore student newspaper Window To Woodmore reprinted with permission.)

Steve Bialorucki, director of career and technical education at Oregon Schools. “Drafting gave way to engineering, design and development where students are expected to use the engineering process to develop solutions to real problems – how to use a drone as an ice rescue vehicle or creating a functioning respirator from salt water. Career and technical education is no longer the old ‘vocational education’ of the past. It has grown up and is offering a better future for those willing to take advantage of the opportunities.” Electrical and industrial engineering allow students to work with programmable logic controllers to develop the skills needed to install, maintain and eventually design industrial process controls. Students will work with electronic sensors, electrical motors, temperature and flow monitoring devices, robots, valves and conveyor systems throughout the junior and senior years. Upon graduation, they will have the option to continue their engineering education at University of Toledo or any other state college or university. While the traditional courses are still needed, Bialorucki says students at Clay now have the opportunity to explore other career pathways that require knowledge and technical expertise. Environmental and agricultural technologies study wildlife habitat and maintenance, water quality testing and marine aquatics related to both freshwater and saltwater environments as well as the traditional basic business skills needed to run a greenhouse or small farm. Medical technologies provides students opportunities to work with local hospitals and offices while earning their State Tested Nurse’s Aide license, first responder and CPR for Healthcare Providers credentials. Traditional cuisine paired with restaurant operation skills provide students the opportunity to work with local chefs in paid positions outside of school hours. “Culinary Arts works magic with knives, flames and creative chemistry,” Bialorucki says.

nspirational essage of the eek: We All Make Mistakes We all make mistakes, and sometimes these mistakes are big ones which adversely affect ourselves and the ones we love. It is often easier to live with mistakes that affect only ourselves than those which hurt the ones we love. But we should not allow ourselves to be crushed by our mistakes. We really should pick ourselves up, do what we can to alleviate the damage that we may have caused, and get on with our lives. In fact, we should really have a mindset that plans on making mistakes. Not in the sense of actually trying to do something wrong, but in the sense that because we are human, we know that we will err and that our errors may sometimes be costly and painful.

broken, because we, or someone else, will drop it. Most car crashes are caused by driver error, and we can wallow in our guilt after an accident, or we can “dust ourselves off,� and move on with our life. I’m not suggesting that we be callous about our mistakes. A certain amount of guilt and remorse is appropriate, but it is important that we not wallow in self-pity precisely because that attitude makes it more difficult to help those we may have harmed. For we all make many mistakes, and if any one makes no mistakes in what he says he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also. R.S.V. James 3:2

Your Voice on the Street: By Stephanie Szozda

If you could personally witness any one thing in history what would it be?

Ban animal testing To the editor: With the unanimous passage of the Animal Welfare Amendment Bill last month, New Zealand is poised to become the next nation to ban animal testing for cosmetics. Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy remarked, “This amendment will send an important message that this kind of testing is unacceptable to New Zealanders and will never happen here.” New Zealand joins Israel, India and the 28 nations of the European Union in demanding that cosmetics companies replace cruel, unreliable animal tests with readilyavailable sophisticated, humane methods. So why is the U.S. doing the opposite? The proposed Personal Care Products Safety Act explicitly allows tests on animals. So while scientists in other nations will be using 3D tissues produced from human cells which replicate human corneas to get a better idea of how a chemical will affect a person’s eyes, here in the U.S. they’ll still be allowed to burn away the corneas of living rabbits. While other scientists are doing skin irritancy testing on human skin cultures grown for that purpose, we will still be rubbing chemicals into live

A great event To the editor: My husband and I attended and helped support the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life held at Clay High School on June 13. The event was enjoyed by family and friends alike. The Relay was preceded with the luncheon for children featuring Disney’s princesses Anna and Elsa, along with Spider-Man, Green Lantern, Batman and Superman. These characters interacted and mingled with the excited children. The Relay opened with a ceremony honoring all cancer survivors. The first lap was led by the survivors in attendance, who were then invited to the school gym

where they were served a buffet dinner. They were also given a T-shirt. Tents decorated by the various Relay teams were positioned around the track. In keeping with the carnival theme, there were games, raffles, a bounce house for kids, games, music and more. The evening ended with a lap around the track, which was lighted by luminaries honoring those who have lost their fight against cancer. It was a somber lap. All in all, it was a great event, with something for everyone and a great way to honor those struggling with cancer and supporting the cause. Pam Nafziger Millbury

As of June 29, the farmer was getting per pound of wheat 9.26666 cents, corn 6.48214 cents and soybeans 15.71666 cents. I was taught in school that for every dollar a farmer earns, it multiplies seven times as it goes through the economy. Where the farm prices are good enough, there are more jobs than there are people to fill them. It has been proven that when parity has been paid, we had a low amount of debt (parity is decided by the group called National Organization for Raw Materials). What can you do to help – buy from local farmers’ markets, and buy organic. They both get more money to the farmer. According to some people, including Professor Laurence Kotlikoff, we are more than $210 trillion in debt. Let’s do what we can to get are nation out of debt. Chris Dietrich Elmore

Correction

Buy local, organic To the editor: A farmer should at least be getting 50 cents per pound of wheat; 28.57142 cents per pound for corn and 50 cents per pound of soybeans – maybe as high as twice this much.

You have more strength than you could possibly realize In 2008, a Florida firefighter lifted a full size SUV which had crashed, 12 inches off the ground. This amazing feat was needed in order to allow other firefighters to rescue the trapped driver whose arm was pinned under the vehicle. In 1988, the helicopter Steve was piloting crashed in a ditch due to mechanical problems. His leg was pinned under the helicopter. One of his coworkers managed to lift the helicopter just enough to enable Steve to free himself. These two examples are just some of numerous incidents where individuals utilized more strength than they realized they had. Ironically, before their awesome feats, none of these people would have realized they were capable of doing what they did. The secret to their amazing feats was their determination to do whatever was necessary to rescue the injured person. They didn't wonder if they could do it.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden They didn't conjure up any reasons why they couldn't do it. They just did whatever it took. The physical strength they used is only one type of strength. Other strengths include willpower, drive, and determination. One of the biggest strengths is the refusal to ever give up. On the other hand, fear, doubt, and worry are roadblocks to your success. You are not born with these limiting concepts. They are learned from other people and from your own experiences. One bad experience has amazing power to negatively

taint your entire outlook. The concept is simple. If you believe you can do something, you are right. Conversely, if you believe you can't do something, you are also right. It's up to you to decide which way you will think. So even if you have been thinking of all the excuses why you can't accomplish as much as you would like, you can change your outlook right now. Within you lies immense capability. You can achieve more than you think. It’s the limits you impose on yourself which prevent you from attaining your full potential. Beliefs in what you can't do are typically more engrained than fully comprehending all that you can do. You won't attempt or be successful dealing with issues you believe to be impossible. This is because your brain follows the instructions you provide. In order to utilize all of your inner potential, you

must first believe in its existence, as well as believing you have what it takes to successfully accomplish your objective. You can solve any problem confronting you. You can overcome any obstacle. You can successfully deal with any challenge you encounter. Your only obstacle is yourself. Tapping into your inner strength begins with replacing "I can't" with "I can" in your self-talk. Next, you replace all excuses for failure with reasons to succeed. Remember these personal experiences whenever you start to doubt yourself or are surrounded by naysayers. Since you still have inside you the same strength you had before, you can reproduce successful outcomes now and in the future. Always remember that you have more strength than you realize.

Two citizen-inspired efforts honor America’s soldiers One of the lessons America has learned is how to separate the soldier who fights for our freedom from the politician who sends him to war. This was not always true. Patricia Sexton, the widow of U.S. Army Sergeant David Sexton, remembers the mood of the country when her husband died fighting in Vietnam while thousands protested the decisions of President Richard Nixon. She saw the angry faces of the protesters when her two brothers came home from Vietnam. “I was there when things were thrown at them and they were told not to wear their uniforms. But, they were proud and they wanted to wear their uniform,� she told the Press last week. Sgt. Sexton was killed in March of 1971. His body has never been returned. But, his memory is always with his widow, both in the son that was born 15 minutes after he was killed and in Patricia Sexton’s work over the years to assure we don’t forget the sacrifices of our soldiers. Sexton has spent more than 10 years traveling with The Ohio Chapter 5 of Rolling Thunder, a non-profit organization that advocates for Prisoners of War and soldiers Missing in Action. Through this organization, she met Ron Smith, a Marine Corp veteran who served multiple tours in the Persian Gulf. The two Sandusky, Ohio residents began dating in 2006. They both work as independent truck drivers for a company that transports material for the Department of Defense. And, through their job and their work with Rolling Thunder, they hatched an idea to create a traveling wall to honor the soldiers who fought in all of America’s wars from The Revolutionary War through the Persian Gulf War. The couple formed a non-profit organization called The Spirit of America’s Story and commissioned artist Raymond Simon to create a traveling exhibit of aluminum panels that will span eight-feet high and 100-feet long. Simon is a well-known tribute artist from Youngstown whose paintings have memorialized soldiers, firefighters and pro athletes.

Ron Smith said the group needs to raise $100,000 to complete the project in time for its debut in November in Mount Vernon, Ohio, home of Ariel Corporation, a major sponsor. The two have raised $50,000 from sponsors and through their own donations. “We’re in hock up to our ears, but we’re so passionate about this we’re going

There are many similar references for other organizations so be careful to type in the exact address. A rolling billboard Edwin Nagle, president and CEO of Nagle Companies of Walbridge, also has an affinity for America’s soldiers. One reason is that his son, Jeff, served in Afghanistan as a heavy-equipment operator for the U.S. Air Force and is now a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. Nagle is a member of the Patriot Guard Riders, a motorcycle organization that surrounds and protects mourners from protesters at the funerals of U.S. servicemen. For the past three years, he has ridden his 2006 Honda Gold Wing to Marseilles, Illinois for the Illinois Motorcycle Freedom

Run. The run kicks off the annual memorial service at the Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial. The wall was founded in 2004 by two bikers, Jerry Kuczera and Tony Cutrano. The granite panels are etched with more than 7,000 names of those who died serving their country since 1979. Every third Saturday in June, a ceremony, bike run and parade are held. While more than 17,000 bikers have been known to ride in the parade, much of the country is unaware of the wall memorial, Nagle said. He wanted to do his part to promote the memorial and the bike run, so he commissioned a firm to paint one of his semitrailers as a marketing tool. “What a better way to promote the event than to have a rolling billboard,� he said. Nagle serves the East Coast area so his memorial trailer is seen from Maine to the Carolinas. As we celebrate Independence Day this weekend, it’s heartening to see that we, as a country, have learned to thank our veterans for their service and support their families. Just since the Vietnam War, we have honored them with the World War II Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, the Moving Wall and now these two memorial walls, among others.

Mackinac – the perfect pace and a perfect place for summer By Art Weber No matter how many times they aim over Haldimond Bay, the cannons on the ramparts at old Fort Mackinac haven’t managed to sink a single ferry boat shuttling visitors from the Michigan mainland to Mackinac Island. The cannons are harmless, really. They fire strictly as demonstrations for the fascination and delight of thousands of onlookers every season. Interstates make it an easy trip to Mackinac Island, the tourism stronghold surrounded by the deep blue waters of the Straits of Mackinac, which separate Michigan’s upper and lower peninsulas. Quick, too, is the ferry trip covering the short distance from Mackinaw City or St. Ignace, past the picturesque Round Island Lighthouse to the town’s docks. No sooner are you off the ferry than you are swept up in the refreshing atmosphere of an island getaway. If it’s midday, the town bustles with activity, shoppers eagerly exploring historic storefront after storefront with plenty of chances to stop for everything from clothing and decorations to refreshments and full-fledged fine dining. Life bustles but no faster than a horsedrawn buggy or a bicyclist. The clip clop of horses carries on soft lake breezes, as refreshing as the frequent breathtaking views of the lake. It sinks in that there’s not an automobile in sight. They’ve been banned from the island for over a century. In their place are more than 600 horses stabled on the island during the summer. Above it all, holding on to the commanding view of the straits is Fort Mackinac, looking much as it did when it was built in 1780 to protect American interests at this important trade crossroads. Re-enactors fascinate visitors with tales of the military strategies and action involving the island and its focal point in the fur trade. Soldiers drill and fire rifles, along with other demonstrations that are punctuated with the firing of a cannon. Diners at the

Below the fort, also unfazed by the cannon, bicyclists are setting out on Michigan’s only public road without motor traffic. Most will take the beautiful ride which follows the lakeshore all the way around the island, stopping for great views and unusual rock formations. All the greenery is courtesy of Mackinac Island State Park, which carpets most of the island with northern boreal forest. At the other end of town, visible from the fort’s high ground beyond the long look down main street and over the trees, is the famous Grand Hotel, the architectural icon

Owens players share dream — developing into pros By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com These days, college athletes going the junior college route is becoming more and more popular. Owens Community College provides that option, and athletes hope it pays dividends — like transferring after their sophomore season to an NCAA Division I or II school. In baseball, you would be surprised at how many former junior college players eventually reach the Major Leagues. Take 2012 National Amateur Baseball Federation Graduate of the Year David Freese, now a third baseman with the Los Angeles Angels. Freese started his career at a St. Louis area junior college, and one summer he led a St. Louis-based summer college team to an NABF College World Series championship, which is held annually in Toledo. In 2011, Freese led his hometown St. Louis Cardinals to the world championship, and he was named World Series MVP. Owens players dream of that kind of ending, and it’s within reach. This spring, Owens baseball players Casey Gose (Genoa), Zach Coffield (Eastwood), Jake Schmeltz (Eastwood), Grant Peters (Eastwood) and Robbie Bekier (Cardinal Stritch) helped lead the Express (23-25) to the NJCAA Region XII Sweet 16, getting them to within two games of the World Series. It is Owens’ best finish in eight years. The Express went 6-3 in the postseason. Gose played second base, led the team in batting average (.354), runs (40) and hits (57) and had nine doubles, 24 RBIs and stole 47 bases and earned a Gold Glove for his defensive efforts. Defensively, he had just two errors in 98 opportunities along with 48 putouts and 48 assists, and he excelled in the classroom, accumulating a 3.9 GPA. A realist, Gose believes Owens was a good place to start, even though he was recruited by four-year colleges. “I chose Owens because it’s a junior college and I know that’s just a stepping stone to where I want to go,” Gose said. “I’m not stuck there for four years. I wanted to go to Owens to get better and work on my craft. Coming out of high school, I wasn’t

(Photo courtesy Nicholas Huenefeld/ Owens SID) fully developed and I thought going there would help me to get where I want to go.” Express coach John Parisho says going the junior college route can be advantageous because it provides needed development as an athlete and student. “Junior college is becoming a more popular choice among young athletes, in my opinion, for a couple different reasons,” he said. “One, from an academic side, you’re not lost in a numbers game going to a two-year school. You’re a name in the classroom, not a number. It’s just as challenging at a four-year school but there’s a concentration on developing yourself in the classroom to make sure you’re successful when you move on. Cost is also a huge factor. “Two, from an athletic standpoint, it’s critical that you get as much experience as possible when you’re just getting into a col-

lege program. You can either go to a fouryear school and possibly sit behind upperclassmen and hope for a shot to play within a couple years with limited playing time or go the two-year route and get more experience with more opportunities and then move on to the four-year school. A lot of four-year coaches are looking for guys that have the experience to come in and play right away.” Giving it “their all” It goes for pitchers as well as position players. Peters went 3-1 with a 5.70 ERA for Owens in eight appearances, including three starts. He struck out 14 batters in 23.2 innings of work. Bekier went 4-4 with a 4.48 ERA in 10 starts and struck out 47 in 66.1 innings. He also had a save and threw three complete games. Schmeltz, pitching mostly in relief, finished with a 6.14 ERA

in 11 appearances. He went 1-2 and struck out 11 in 22 innings. Coffield, who played catcher and will continue his career at Adrian College, hit .230 with an on-base percentage of .329. He finished with four doubles, two triples, scored 19 runs and drove in 13. Owens will add three more area players next season — Jake Wojciechowski (Genoa), Nick Wolfe (Genoa) and Connor Bowen (Lake). Parisho has high praise for all of his players, believing they all can develop into something special. “Gose had a great year for coming in and being put into the leadoff spot and he never gave it up. That just goes to show you his character as a player, and he got it done in the classroom, too,” Parisho said. “Schmeltz is a gamer. I didn’t really know what we were getting when he joined us in January, but I’m sure glad we got him. He came in the game in a lot of high-pressure situations this year and handled it like a seasoned veteran,” Parisho continued. “Coffield is a guy that gives you everything on the field. He caught more innings than I would have liked him to catch without wearing him down over the course of the season, but he never complained. In fact, he welcomed the challenge. He controlled the pitching staff with all of his hard work and has earned himself a spot at Adrian College. “Grant is a young man that has figured out how to pitch with a purpose. He also came into some high-pressure save situations and had some success. He is growing into a very good pitcher. Bekier is another guy that we relied on a lot this year in our starting rotation and he answered the bell every time. I look forward to his development. All those players are not just great athletes but also great individuals, too. I’m really proud of each of those guys.” Gose said he will use falling short of the World Series as a motivator for next season. “I wish we could’ve made it to the World Series,” he said. “But I couldn’t have done the stuff I did this year without my teammates’ help — they always pushed me and helped me to get better throughout the year, just like the coaches did. “It’s a huge motivating factor because the farther you go in the tournament, the more scouts are going to look at all of us, so that’s huge.”

Jessica Grindle chooses Lourdes to continue soccer career The Press Box

By Nicholas Huenefeld Owens Sports Information nicholas_huenefeld@owens.edu Jessica Grindle (Northwood), one of the highest scoring players in Owens Community College women’s soccer history, will continue her playing career at Lourdes University. Grindle, who played for Owens in the fall of 2012 and 2013, stayed in school at Owens this past year before deciding to resume her playing career. As a sophomore, Grindle produced 23 goals and five assists to lead the program to its first ever Region XII tournament championship and National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division I National Tournament. The team’s top goal scorer and second leading assist producer scored a goal in all four of the team’s postseason games. She had the game-winning goal in the Region XII semifinal, the game-tying goal in the team’s first national tournament game and the team’s lone goal in a 1-1 tie against Butler in the second national tournament game. Following the season, Grindle was named First Team All-Region XII, Re-

In an injury shortened freshman year, Grindle had six goals and three assists in just 10 games. Grindle finished her Owens career with 29 goals and eight assists in 31 games, and she is the program’s second highest single season goal scorer, second highest single season points leader (51, 2013), and the second highest career scorer (67). Prior to Owens, Grindle was a First Team All-NWOSSL, First Team All-District and Second Team All-Ohio player at Northwood High School in Northwood, Ohio.

Achter, Thomas looking to get back to ‘The Show’ By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Former Clay and Michigan State pitcher A.J. Achter got the “taste” last September, but now he’s back in more familiar surroundings. Achter, 26, was called up from Triple A Rochester to pitch for the Minnesota Twins on Sept. 3 and appeared in seven games. It was his first experience at the Major League level. This season, he is back in Rochester, N.Y., with the Twins’ Triple A Red Wings. “Any competitor wants to be at the highest level possible,” Achter said. “Getting that little taste in September last year gave me even more drive than I’ve ever had to prove people wrong and get back to that level. That month of baseball was unbelievable. It was reaching a dream you’ve had since you could walk, to play at the major league level. Getting back there is the ultimate goal.” The 6-foot-5 right-hander is doing well at Rochester. Through 54 games he was 3-2 with a 2.34 ERA in 31 appearances. He assumed the role as the team’s closer and was 12-for-14 in save opportunities through June 29. He had allowed 14 hits in 34.2 innings, with seven walks and 34 strikeouts. He had given up five home runs. “Those five home runs have all been on fastballs,” Achter said. “The change-up has been really good this year and has kind of propelled me this year.” Achter pitched two innings in the second game of a double-header on Sunday against Charlotte. He did not allow a run or hit, walked one and struck out three in the Red Wings’ 5-4 win in 11 innings. “I have been the closer in the past month and a half,” Achter said. “I like it. It’s a fun role to come in and pitch when the game is on the line. I probably had 10 saves in my career (before this season), so I’ve worked in that role before. To be honest, I’ll take the ball whenever the manager gives it to me. It’s a privilege to pitch no matter where or when it is. “I know if I pitch in the big leagues, it won’t be as a closer. But, I have to realize that whenever the phone rings, I have to be ready.” Achter was close to making the Twins’ roster out of spring training. He said he felt he was one of the final 10 relievers the club contemplated keeping, but it only kept seven and he was left out. Achter admitted he knew he was on the bubble to travel north with the parent club for opening day. “Going into it you want to give yourself every shot to make it, and I knew I was a long shot,” he said. “They went out and signed a couple of free-agent guys, veteran guys they were paying major league contracts. It was a decent amount of money. I thought I had a decent chance to compete for a job.” Achter said he was told by the Twins around March 25 that he would be with Rochester to open the 2015 season. “I was obviously disappointed,” Achter said. “My meeting with the general manager, manager (Paul Molitor) and pitching coach (Neil Allen) was really positive.

(Photo courtesy of Uni-President 7/11 Lions) They were impressed with my spring. They told me to go back to Rochester and put in my work and see what happens.” Achter also pitched for Rochester in 2013 and ‘14 and has appeared in 87 games, with an 8-8 record. He said probably half of the players at the Triple A level have appeared in a major league game. “Some of my closest friends I came up with haven’t been there,” Achter said. “They ask about the chartered plane flights (in the majors) and the meal money and the pay increase. It’s all everything you can dream of and more. It’s an unbelievable experience.” “They’re in pennant contention right now,” Achter said, “and that’s a good problem to have. It’s more competition from within at the big-league level. The guys up there are throwing really well. We’ll see what happens at the trade deadline. They haven’t told me anything. It changes day to day in this business, it really does.”

Justin Thomas in Taiwan Justin Thomas knows time is running out – or already has run out – in his bid to pitch again in the major leagues. For the time being the 2002 Clay grad, 31, is content pitching for the Uni-President 7/11 Lions in Taiwan. The Lions compete in the Chinese Professional Baseball League. An online video shows Taiwanese female placing flowers around his neck after he helped his team win and he was named game MVP. That happens after every game to one lucky player, and he was all over national media after that performance. But, his ultimate goal is pitching in the Major Leagues again.

“I don’t really expect to get back to the major leagues,” Thomas said. “I’m content with playing in Asia and it would be tough to break back in with an MLB team, because I have been in and out of Asia for the last three years. Stranger things have happened, but I’m just enjoying playing and I hope to continue to play for a few more years.” Thomas, who was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the fourth round of the 2005 amateur draft, was released by the Los Angeles Angels last July 24. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound left-hander has so far enjoyed the company of his wife, Theresa, and their 3-year-old daughter, Ella, in Taiwan. However, Justin and Theresa are expecting another child, a daughter, in September, so Theresa and Ella were scheduled to return to the U.S. on July 1. “I’m going to try my best to be home for the birth, or as close to it as I can,” Thomas said. “My current contract runs through August, but they can renew me through the end of the season, which can be into late October if we make the playoffs. I’m just going to have to try my best to make it home at the right time. The team will give me a leave of absence for about a week, so we will just have to try and hit it right.” Through Monday, Thomas had made 12 starts and pitched 72.1 innings, with one complete game. He was 2-5 with a 3.11 ERA and was in the top five in the league in innings, ERA and strikeouts. Thomas said he expected to return to Korea to play this season. “I finished last year playing there,” he said. “When the season was over I assumed I would be returning there to play this year, because I did pretty well. The team ended

You’re invited to a

up firing the manager and they decided to bring in different import players. I was notified by the team in late December, so I came into the free agency game a little late. I had an offer on the table to come play in Taiwan, so I accepted it in the middle of January, seeing as I wasn’t getting a lot of interest from MLB-affiliated teams.” Thomas said playing in Taiwan “isn’t bad,” and the team takes good care of its players. He said the only words he really knows in Chinese are “hello” and “thank you.” “My translator is awesome and super helpful,” Thomas said, “so I lean on him for anything I need. It’s pretty easy-going here. I start once a week and we play five games a week. Every Monday is an off day, and we practice on the other day we don’t have a game. The travel is pretty easy and we play a lot of commuter games, which is nice.” He said the baseball skill level in the CPBL is comparable to Double A or Triple A in the States. “There are many players who have played in America and some players who have played in the major leagues,” Thomas said. “Teams seem to lack depth here, so the bullpens and bench players aren’t too strong.” Taiwan has a 12-hour time difference with the U.S., so Thomas has to time it just right if he wants to talk to his family back home. “I miss my parents, my dog, my Jeep, Mexican food and a good sandwich,” Thomas said. “We have a Subway, but I miss going out for lunch and getting a good sandwich. The food is great here, but there aren’t any Mexican restaurants.”
