Ottawa County honors wounded heroes Ottawa County packed a patriotic punch in a pre-July 4th excursion honoring wounded heroes. Political leaders, county staff, students, veterans, businesses and local organizations united to deliver the best the area has to offer to 61 travelers from the Kentucky Wounded Heroes Project, an organization serving a five-region area including Ohio. And the Ottawa County efforts didn’t disappoint. “I’ve decided one of the best parts of God’s creation is walleye fishing on Lake Erie,” said Jim Oates, a chaplain from Shelbyville, Ky., who accompanied the group on the trip dubbed Walleyes for Wounded Warriors. “This is a unique place. You can really feel the heart of the people.” The anglers spent five days on the Lake Erie shoreline, June 25-29. And the weather seemed to be a willing partner in the three-day fishing adventure, serving up warm days and sunshine the entire trip. Chris Epperson thought he’d be bored fishing. He gets restless easily, he said. The member of the National Guard couldn’t have been more wrong. “Today was just action packed. It was non-stop. We were hitting the moment the

line hit the water,” Epperson smiled. Local crews cleaned and filleted the fish. Then the bounty is split among them. Last year, each person took home about 30 pounds of walleye to their families. They expected the same or better this year. Off the lake, the men and women got a taste of local life from one end of the county to the other. They stayed at Shady Acres and stops included a meet-and-greet with charter captains at Magee East Marina, a night out at Rob’s Limestone Tavern in Rocky Ridge, a trip to Put-in-Bay and dinner at TJ’s Smokehouse and breakfasts at Ala Carte in Port Clinton. Their experience culminated with a fish fry at Tall Timbers Campground near

Port Clinton. As they ambled off the boats Saturday, the wounded heroes were met by Port Clinton and Catawba fire trucks, police and sheriff’s deputies who escorted them to the shelter house. As the procession entered the campground gates, young and old campers alike lined the stone road waving flags and clapping as an honor guard saluted. “This community is amazing. You’ve got some real patriots – more than the average town,” said the Wounded Heroes Project President Chuck Reed. “They’ve been bending over backgrounds for months to help make this happen.” At the helm of that effort were Veterans Services Commission Director Sara Toris, County Commissioner Jim Sass, Facilities Director Jim Adkins and Kara Hart of the Lake Erie Shores & Islands Welcome Center. “I had the pleasure of sitting by a veteran, Jim, who flew helicopter missions,” Sass recalled. “Though he was modest, I found out he was written about by fellow vets who wrote some books about their part in the war. Talk about a career. He was a test pilot at some point in his career. He eventually retired and joined the Guard.” The Wounded Heroes organization initially catered to veterans of military service. In recent years, it has expanded its reach to include those police, fire and Continued on page 2

Former Oregon School board member P.J. Kapfhammer continued his criticism of the teacher’s union, the Oregon City Federation of Teachers, during a board meeting Monday. Soon after, lifetime Oregon resident Dan Saevig, 52, was appointed by the school board Monday to fill the vacancy left by Kapfhammer, who resigned last month. Kapfhammer, who had served since 2011, promised that he will continue attending every board meeting. He believes he can be more effective as a resident than he was as a board member. “I will be here every month with new information. God knows, I can back this up,” Kapfhammer said. “I took it all with me. I know everything. I am well-rehearsed in what goes on in this district every day. So, I’m still coming around. “So if some of you think I wasn’t coming back, get used to it, because I have more rights on this side than I’ve ever had on that side. I am going to be here every time to tell the truth, and if I lie, please fix me up.” Kapfhammer referred to the union as “the bully.” “Do the right thing and finally take on ‘the bully.’ I know you think I was the bully, but this district has been going backwards for 10 years,” Kapfhammer said. “You’ve lost two superintendents, you’ve lost board members who never seek re-election, and you lost two levies in a row, once by almost 80 percent.” Kapfhammer also vowed to fight school levies, alleging that Oregon’s teachers’ and administrators’ salaries are higher than other districts that have performed better in standardized testing. The coowner of Maumee Turf Center in Oregon, Kapfhammer said he now believes he can be more involved by not serving on council. “I will tell you that I can be me again, and I like being me, and I don’t give any excuses for it. So, if you think I’m a bad guy, I’m OK with that. If you think I’m a good Continued on page 4

Lunch decision thwarts burglars

Continued from front page

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Deciding to go home for a quick lunch Tuesday added some excitement to Daniel Wolf’s day. “I knew something was going on. My wife was gone and there was a car backed into the driveway with the engine running. I drove up really close to it and dialed 9-1-1. I hung on my air horn to get them out of the house,” the resident of Latcha Road in Lake Township said.

Kentucky Wounded Heroes Project President Chuck Reed, at left, speaks with two other men during the 5-day event along Lake Erie in Ottawa County.

“

They talk to one another about things they don’t talk about with their wives, their families, their friends. They decompress right before your very eyes.

“

EMS staff injured in the line of duty. Some of those on this trip included soldiers who fought in Vietnam, Afghanistan, a sheriff’s deputy who suffered a brain injury in a traffic accident and an officer who injured her back when she tried to break up a fight and the assailants turned on her. Brett Hightower counts himself among the vice presidents of the organization. The retired soldier was injured by an IED in Afghanistan. He got hooked – so to speak - into joining the organization when he attended a salmon fishing trip in Alaska. Their stories are chilling whether it happened on the battlefield abroad or on the streets of an American neighborhood. And often, they bottle up emotions in their personal battle to return to normalcy in order to hide the pain from their loved ones, explained Reed, a retired state trooper who spent 34 years in the National Guard. Helping them heal is the core mission of Wounded Heroes organization. The healing process begins with teaming them with one another in nature, whether hunting, fishing or some other adventure. Just removing them from daily frustrations of life is a big step, Reed added. Camaraderie then builds over the days and most open up to their peers who have shared similar experiences. “Mother Nature is a healing sort and a lot of these guys have some serious problems,” he said looking among the jovial crowd gathered for the meal at the campground. “They talk to one another about things they don’t talk about with their wives, their families, their friends. They decompress right before your very eyes.” Incentive for the group’s formation grew out of Reed’s days as a young U.S. Marine watching soldiers return home from the Vietnam War in 1972 to the taunts and ridicule of a torn nation. “There was no celebration. No uplifting so to speak. It wasn’t a silent war. It was big in the media. And somehow it made the warriors – the soldiers – the bad guys,” Reed remembered. He was determined one day to show appreciation to his fellow veterans any way he could.

“These guys signed a blank check up to and including their lives,” Reed said of the dedication of the veterans. The idea for the outdoor trips bloomed in 2008 when Reed headed to Alaska to

manage a friend’s fishing business as a favor. The beauty of the Alaskan scenery offered a calmness and vitality he knew would provide that healing power so many veterans desperately needed, Reed said. The trips to the Lake Erie shores began three years ago when the Kentucky organization connected with Ohio liaisons Joe Hein of Celina and Joe Stelzer of St. Mary’s. “Joe and I have been fishing Lake Erie for 25 years. We knew it was like home,” Hein said. The first group included primarily 15 participants from Fort Campbell and Fort Knox in 2012. In 2013, the number grew to 29. And this year, the fishing crew topped out over 60. “We are looking forward to working with them in the future,” Stelzer said, referring to Ottawa County community. “This is our eighth day of fishing in three years and we haven’t missed a day. The big guy has been good to us.”

Going against the grain A farmer, Wolf was driving a truck loaded with corn, and when two men came out of his house and attempted to leave in the car, he blocked their exit – his truck’s front bumper extending a foot or so over the hood of the men’s Saturn that got shoved to Wolf’s garage door. “I had the right weapon this time,” Wolf said, referring to his truck. “The response time of the police was unbelievable,” he said. “I don’t think it was over three minutes. It was fast. I was impressed.” Township police arrested Jonathan W. Hall, 44, Toledo, and his brother, Douglas J. Hall, 45, Oregon, and charged them with burglary – a second degree felony. A flat screen television belonging to Wolf was in the car, police said. Other items that were determined to not belong to Wolf, including jewelry, watches, remote controls, commemorative coins and CDs were also in the Saturn, which is registered to Jonathan Hall, according to the police report. “I had a car in the garage and they had the keys to that car. I don’t know if they were going to take that car or come back for it. One guy threw the keys in the flower bed and we went over and retrieved them,” Wolf said.

Wall is a window to district operations By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com For about a year, a room at the Northwestern Water & Sewer District office building near Bowling Green has somewhat resembled a control center at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. A display wall of eight, 55-inch screens allows district personnel to monitor the system of water and sewer lines, hydrants, pumps and valves for problems. Because district crews working in the field travel in Geographic Position System-equipped vehicles, their locations are known to personnel at the office and they can easily be dispatched to where they are needed. Gavin Smith, the district’s information technology director, describes the telemetry system as “our Water and Sewer Warning and Control Center” or “WASWACC” for short; though many district employees call it the “NASA wall” or the “display wall.” “It provides situational awareness for our dispatch personnel in the operations department and it serves as a command center where there is an emergency event such as large water leak or substantial flooding after a major rain event,” he said, adding the screens can be configured to link to security cameras at remote sites or other software or websites that may be needed in an emergency. The system was funded with a rural development grant of $150,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Simon Gundy, assistant superintendent of the district, said the system is a vast improvement over what was in place. “The system monitors sewer pumps at 80 different sites as well as monitoring nine wastewater plants,” Gundy said. “This technology is far superior to any we have had in the past. With Geographic Information System layers available on the display wall, we have hydrants, main line valves, water and sewer lines, with all the associated specifications on county maps.

A grant of $150,000 was used by the Northwestern Water & Sewer District to purchase a telemetry system. A display wall of eight, 55-inch screens allows district personnel to monitor the system of water and sewer lines, hydrants, pumps and valves for problems. This allows us to pinpoint the exact problems and specifications of the lines/valves so we can fix problems with quicker response times using the right tools for the problems that do occur.” The telemetry system is constantly monitoring the network of alarms in towers and pumps, he said, and some problems can be fixed remotely by a technician with a laptop. New service for water users Not only has the district adopted a high-tech system for monitoring its operations and physical assets, district customers can also utilize a service to do likewise.

AquaHawk Alerting is offering the service to customers of the district to help manage water usage. Jerry Greiner, district president, describes the program as a “state-of-the-art leak detection and notification system.” “AquaHawk is an amazing system, where you are notified of problems and, in my opinion, the best feature is to set up a monthly budget to reduce usage and save money on utility bills,” he said. AquaHawk has features that allow the system to send alerts by text, email, the Internet or direct mail. Customers can also see estimated bills to date. Details are available at www.nwsd.org.

Lake Twp. Trustees OK levy for Nov. ballot By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A resolution to place a renewal levy to fund fire department operations on the November ballot has been approved by the Lake Township trustees. The 1-mill, 5-year levy will, if passed, generate about $209,020 annually. A current 1-mill levy is set to expire at the end of the year. The trustees received certification of the annual amount from the Wood County auditor’s office, which based the figure on the township’s current assessed property valuation of approximately $220.03 million. In addition to funding fire department

operations and equipment, levy revenues are used to maintain stations and pay personnel. Mark Hummer, township administrator, said the department also plans to replace a fire truck and has been setting aside tax revenues for the purchase. Township property owners also support the department through two other levies. An 0.8-mill, continuous levy first approved in 1990 is used to pay for the township’s contract with LifeStar for paramedic service. It generates about $122,854 annually. A 2-mill, continuous levy that was approved in 1990 is also used for the fire department. In other business, the trustees agreed

Catholic Charities’ Helping Hands of St. Louis opened its doors to a new client choice food pantry July 1. The pantry will be open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Previously, clients who came to the Helping Hands’ pantry received pre-packaged bags with the same food items for each family. “A lot of clients would receive food they wouldn’t use or their family didn’t need,” said Sue Shrewsbery, staff member at Helping Hands. The food pantry provides an average of 200 bags of groceries each month. The new format provides clients with a grocery store atmosphere and allows clients to choose food based on their individual or family’s needs. The pantry will be divided into nutritional categories – grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, meats and combination foods/miscellaneous. Helping Hands has partnered with the Toledo Lucas County Health Department for the creation of the client choice pantry. The Health Department donated shopping carts, nutritional pamphlets and recipes.

Union Continued from front page guy, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m OK with that, too. I really could care less what people think about me, except for my family, and I have their love and support,â&#x20AC;? Kapfhammer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of pride and misconceptions that have been said, and I worked. You guys know I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care that I was the bad guy, but I never did anything without majority support and the superintendentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support.

Some of his allegations have been disputed by school officials, including comments Kapfhammer placed on Facebook about personnel and union matters. Monday, Kapfhammer spoke publicly to the board for about 15 minutes, claiming the district was underperforming academically compared to other suburban schools, and saying there remains plenty of work to be done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Essentially, when I resigned, I thought that in the work we put in for two-and-ahalf years, I believe that we set the foundation for improving and the reconfiguration of computers and took it upon ourselves to be proactive and get a lot of stuff done,â&#x20AC;? Kapfhammer said. Kapfhammerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resignation was sudden, announcing it at the start of the June 9 board meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In those two-and-a-half years, and most of that time serving as board president, there are restrictions made on the

Kapfhammer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I care too much about the district and the kids â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I only ran because of the kids. And, it was time for me to leave. I can actually do more

work and be more outside the box than you can do inside the box â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I learned that in my two-and-a-half years. During his public comments, Kapfhammer was complimentary of Superintendent Dr. Lonny Rivera, board president Carol Molnar, and vice president Jeff Ziviski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During that time, I saw a lot of hard work from administrators and teachers in the district,â&#x20AC;?

School board votes to appoint Saevig

Reducing shelter barriers As of July 1, four local shelters are implementing efforts to reduce barriers for homeless families moving into permanent housing, The efforts are made possible by a $60,000 grant from the Toledo Community Foundation through the ProMedica Advocacy Fund. Recipient shelters include Catholic Charities’ La Posada Family Emergency Shelter, Family House, Aurora Project and Bethany House. The grant will be used to assist with utility costs, first month’s rent and other challenges that may hinder families from moving into permanent housing. Of the 381 families that were housed in thee shelters last year, more than 150 faced barriers that delayed their transition into permanent housing by more than a week. More than 80 percent of the families had children under the age of 18. “This is an example of agencies coming together to find a way to best serve people in our community while reducing redundancies, cost and inefficiencies,” said Rodney Schuster, executive director of Catholic Charities. “We are very excited for this partnership and look forward to success and positive results.”

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com The Oregon School Board voted 3-1 to appoint Dan Saevig, with Jeff Ziviski casting the opposing vote, to fill the seat vacated by P.J. Kapfhammer, who resigned last month. Saevig was one of nine applicants and one of three finalists who were interviewed prior to the board’s announcement. Saevig will be sworn in at the July 15 board meeting. Saevig, executive director for the University of Toledo Alumni Association, said he became interested while serving as co-chair of the curriculum subcommittee while Oregon Schools was piecing together its strategic plan in 2009-10. He also served with the Oregon Schools Foundation in 2006-07 to assist in establishing spending and investment policies. “I really enjoyed that process,” Saevig said. “I’ve dealt with volunteers, people who have served on boards, and one of the things is I’ve reached a point in my career where I have the opportunity to take some of the things that I’ve learned over that time period and hopefully apply them to Oregon Schools.” Saevig said he waited until the final day to apply because he wanted to make sure serving as a board member at a public school district was not an issue with the state or the university. His professional career includes more than 25 years managerial experience in the not-for-profit world, mostly for the UT alumni association. Prior to that, he was a sports reporter and anchor for two local television stations for six years and parttime sports writer for 15 years. He says he learned communication skills from his experience as a journalist. His interest in sports continues as he currently is commissioner of a 50-andover hockey league at Tam-O-Shanter in Sylvania. “In sports and business there are an awful lot of parallels you can draw,” Saevig said. “You need to figure out what your goals are going to be, you have to have the resources in place to attain those goals, you have to have a game plan for filling those goals, and then you get to work and do it.” He told the school board that he learned of the vacancy through newspaper stories. As a school board member, he wants to make sure the district has the resources and finances it needs to implement programs. “I think that’s absolutely critical to the process,” Saevig said. “The bottom line is this — there’s the end result to improve the educational experience for the children of the city of Oregon and to help elevate the community in the process,” Saevig said. Saevig said the three most pressing issues facing the district are finances, because of dwindling revenue streams, improving student performance and academic achievement, and “public perception of and enthusiasm for the district.” Saevig told The Press that he promises to remain open-minded when it comes to new ideas. “We need to listen to everybody and everybody in our community is a shareholder, or stakeholder. We have to listen to them,” Saevig said. “Sometimes, it’s OK to have ideas that are viewed as unusual or different, but sometimes you can have one of the most unusual ideas and you can apply them and make them work.” Saevig, who resides in the same Eastmoreland neighborhood home he was raised in, graduated from Clay High School in 1979.

Money for brownfields

Grant program seeks applications By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The deadline for towns in Wood County to apply for Brownfield site assessment grant funding is Sept. 30, the county’s economic development commission has announced. The commission is administering a site assessment program with $250,000 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Wade Gottschalk, executive director of the commission, said the funds can be used to conduct assessments of potentially contaminated sites such as former gas stations, machine shops, bulk storage facilities, rail yards, oil well sites and similar commercial areas. He has sent letters to elected officials throughout the county encouraging them to apply for funding if there are qualifying sites in their jurisdictions. An assessment has been completed at a site in North Baltimore and the commission has received applications from the cities of Northwood and Rossford, Gottschalk said. The City of Northwood’s efforts to secure funding for an assessment of a former gas station in the 4440 block of Woodville Road have been hampered by an absent owner, said Bob Anderson, city administrator. “We haven’t been able to get a hold of the owner for the past few years,” Anderson said. “We send any notices we have to a tax mailing address by certified mail and it comes back as undeliverable. We’ve talked to other people trying to get a hold of this corporation and they’ve not been able to find them either. The city has declared the property a nuisance, which gives the owner a time frame for getting the site cleaned up before the city takes action. “If we abate the nuisance what we’ll do is hire an independent contactor and have it tear down the structures above ground and seal the tanks,” Anderson said. “Then we’d assess those costs to the prop-

The fourth annual Thanks for the Mammories Golf Outing and Miniature Golf Fundraiser to benefit the Northwest Ohio Affiliate of Susan G.

erty owner. The hold up is, in the eyes of the county, the owner is uncooperative. As I explained to the county, the owner is uncooperative because we can’t find him. The county doesn’t want to stick its neck out but that leaves a lot of sites that are an eyesore and need to be cleared up. “Rust is eating into the canopies at the gas station. I don’t think it’s imminent but eventually those canopies are going to become unstable.” The grant money the city is seeking would be used for soil test borings and related sampling to determine if there are leaks from underground tanks. Wood County is reluctant to foreclose on the property because it doesn’t want to assume liability, Anderson said. “It’s just kind of sitting there,” he said. “Part of the grant application process includes a property owner’s permission to get on the property and do the borings. I’ve said we believe we do have permission to do it because we have issued nuisance abatement notices and they didn’t respond. So they’ve become a nuisance in the city under our ordinances, which state we have a right to go in and clean up the nuisance. Part of cleaning up, in our opinion, is knowing what the nuisance is and that is where phase 1 and phase 2 of the grant come in. That is why we need the money from the county.” According to the Wood County auditor’s website, the gas station property was purchased by Millenium Property Holdings, LLC, in December 2006, from GG Real Estate, LLC, for $182,841. Delinquent property taxes are $14,051. The economic development commission estimates typical environmental due diligence costs for a commercial property can range from $10,000 to $25,000. Gottschalk said property owners generally need to grant access but in the case of abandoned sites it is possible to legally get access for the assessment work. For information about the grant program contact Douglas Jambard-Sweet at 419-351-2958.

Pay raises approved recently by the Ottawa County Commissioners for nonunion employees will cost the county about $125,000 annually in wages and $20,000 in retirement benefits, according to Dennis Jensen, county administrator. The commissioners approved raises of 3 percent or 50 cents, which ever is greater, to go into effect with the pay period beginning June 29. About 150 employees whose wages are drawn from the county general fund are affected.

Donations sought Planned Pethood is seeking donations for a Rummage Sale, which will be held Aug. 2 from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Aug. 3 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. in the Junior Fair Building at the Lucas County Rec Center in Maumee. Proceeds from the sale will benefit Humane Ohio’s spay/neuter program. Donations of books, gently used clothing furniture and other items may be dropped off 5-8 p.m. Fridays July 18 and 25 and from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays July 19, 20, 26 and 27 at the sale site. Items will also be collected Thursday, July 17 and Friday, July 18 from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Humane Ohio Clinic, 3131 Tremainsville Rd, Toledo.

Man indicted A Williston man has been indicted by the Ottawa County Grand Jury on six counts each of rape and sexual battery, felonies of the first and third degree, respectively. According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office reports, James C. Nierman, 59, whose last known address is 21041 W. Toledo St., engaged in sexual conduct with another person in Lucas and Ottawa counties between 1996 and 2001. A warrant has been issued for Nierman, prosecuting attorney Mark Mulligan said.

1981 Luckey Centennial history book, the story unfolded when a stranger walked toward the Luckey Exchange Bank wearing a hunting coat. Another man, his cohort, was sitting in a parked car nearby, acting nervously. Sensing something wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t right, some merchants summoned Marshal Stone and when told of the suspicious characters in town, Ben rolled out of bed, put a six-shooter in each pocket, and picked up a double barreled shotgun loaded with buckshot. He headed for the bank where the bandit was already inside, demanding the money in the drawer from the cashier. As some $345 was passed to the bandit, the cashier sounded an alarm and the bandit headed for the door of the bank, where the gun-toting marshal was already there to greet him, and warned, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stop or Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll shoot!â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Ben Stone says he heard â&#x20AC;&#x153;two cracksâ&#x20AC;? from the robberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gun and then felt something â&#x20AC;&#x153;nipâ&#x20AC;? his legs andâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I let him have the right barrel and he went down in a heap.â&#x20AC;? Someone then shouted that the robber was going to fire again, at which point, Ben not only fired the other barrel, but then pumped three more bullets into him from his pistol. As soon as the gunfire erupted, the driver of the getaway car took off. Ben would recall later, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sorry I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get him too.â&#x20AC;? By this time, the normally quiet main street was filled with people who came to view the aftermath of this violent bank robbery that ended badly for the suspect, Glenn Saunders, as he laid mortally wounded bleeding profusely, while Marshal Stone

dealt with the pain and bleeding from two bullet holes in his legs. One woman who came to town that day to witness the scene, LaVada Graening was a teenager at the time. Before passing away last year at the age of 95, she told me she vividly remembered that day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My cousin called me and told me what was happening and I ran as fast as I could to get there,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The streets were filled with people gathered to see someone shot in the street. It was so public...seeing a body there. Just out in front of everybody. You could see the wound in his chest. It was awfulâ&#x20AC;?. By this time, Ben Stone was being transported to Mercy Hospital in Toledo and Mrs. Graening recalled that townspeople were concerned about his recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody liked Ben. He was a friendly man,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can still remember seeing that little smile of his. He used to have little sayings and called some of the girls and women in town his little â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ain-giesâ&#x20AC;?, or Angels. He loved children...he was like a Grandpa to me.â&#x20AC;? LaVada Graeningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remembrances of the Luckeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous lawman are shared by many. The legacy of this man remains indelibly etched into the historical accounts of the Wood County community as a local hero. An unlikely and unusual embrace of a black man in the lily-white farm country made up predominantly of German and Swiss ancestry at a time when racial prejudice was still practiced openly in many communities.

When Derrick Diggs became Toledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chief of Police a few years ago, he became the first African-American selected for that position. It took more than a century from the time Albert King, Toledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first black patrolman, was hired for a black officer to rise to the chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. In fact, I was hard pressed to determine if any other city or village in Northwest Ohio ever had a police chief who also broke the color barrier. None did, with one exception. To discover that exception, take a trip to Luckey and go back in time about eight decades. Meet Ben Stone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first AfricanAmerican police chief in Northwest Ohio. Maybe all of Ohio. Benjamin Franklin Stone was born in 1874 of mixed Irish and African-American parents, presumably of slave heritage. Information about his very early childhood is sparse, but we do know he and his brother, Tom Stone, eventually ended up in an orphanage on Lagrange Street in Toledo. By the time he was 10 years old, Ben and his brother were taken from the orphanage by Bill Dunipace, a farmer near Luckey. Dunipace was a bachelor and gave the brothers the promise of a better life in exchange for working around the farm. Tom didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take well to the rigors of farm life and took his leave, fleeing back to Toledo at his first chance. But, Ben lived out his childhood in this rural setting. The two became like father and son. So it was to follow that two decades later when Dunipace died, he left Ben 80 acres of land and a house on Sugar Ridge Road. For a number of years, Ben tried his hand at farming, but Ben was about 30 years old and he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t content to just settle down. He had other pursuits on his mind and one of them was guns. Throughout his boyhood, he enjoyed shooting guns and honed his skills as a marksman. Locals say he became so adroit with a revolver he could shoot the eye out of a crow perched in the highest branch of a tree. One neighbor says he actually saw Ben shoot at and hit the same nailhead on a wooden door, four times in a row. Ben also enjoyed other thrills like speed and motorcycles. Stories are still told of how Ben would blaze at high speeds down the back country roads on his motorcycle, â&#x20AC;&#x153;plinkingâ&#x20AC;? at prearranged roadside targets with great accuracy. Eventually, Ben sold off 40 acres to a neighbor, but kept the old cabin. He also took a few odd jobs working for other farmers in the area. His solid reputation for hard work and honesty paid other dividends when he took a full time job as the night watchman for the Schwan Furniture Store and Funeral home in Luckey. Other merchants also paid Ben to watch their stores at night and soon he was officially appointed the town marshal. With that designation he was allowed to carry a gun and he patrolled Luckeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streets at night with a flashlight in one hand and a shotgun in the other. He also tucked a .45 caliber handgun into the side of his well-worn and shaggy coveralls which was his familiar uniform. It can be stated that Ben was hardly a student of modern fashion. His unshaven and grizzly face and his disheveled appearance were not helped by his refusal to wear a glass eye after he had lost one in an accident many years before. His reason for not wearing the glass eye, he said, was that â&#x20AC;&#x153;it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make me see any betterâ&#x20AC;?. Ben was clearly a man of modest needs and means and eventually made his home in the back storeroom of the old Schwan Furniture store where his bed was fashioned from empty wooden boxes used for burial vaults. Locals say Ben would have made a good character for a movie. And if ever there was a great opening scene, it might have been plucked from the headlines about the quiet autumn day in 1933 when this mild mannered marshal became a reallife action hero. As the tale is told from the

Ben Stone as a child. that was shown to Ben during this era says a lot about the people of Luckey and says a lot about the character of Ben Stone. A few months after the shooting, Ben Stone was the guest of honor at a testimonial dinner at the Grace Lutheran Church in Luckey where 160 of his fellow townspeople thanked him for his courage and presented him with a new gold deputy sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s badge with his name engraved on the back of it. They also presented him with a check for $150. Another gift Ben received was surprising and offered a strange twist to the bank robbery saga. It was a letter of thanks from the mother of Glenn Saunders, the bank robber who he had shot dead. Mrs. Saunders of Columbus Grove, thanked Ben for killing her son, saying he had always been trouble and she and her husband were relieved that he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be causing any more. She continued her communication with Ben over the years and they often exchanged Christmas gifts. Ben continued his duties for the next decade in his adopted home of Luckey, patrolling the streets, with his guns tucked into the bib overhauls and greeting his friends and residents everyday with a familiar smile. When Ben died in 1943, of heart disease, at the age of 69, his remains were cremated, and his ashes spread over the Webster Township Cemetery at Scotch Ridge. And while the big boots of Ben Stone no longer walk the streets of Luckey at night, the echoes of those footsteps still do.

Your Voice on the Street: by Stephanie Szozda

The Press Poll

What is the worst bite you've ever gotten?

Do you agree with Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins' proposed ban on hiring tobacco users? Yes No

Jeremy Jones Millbury "'Dog bite... on the leg. I was riding my bike and I was probably 8 years old and I had to get stitches."

Eugene Zunk Genoa "Years ago they had a circus that would come to town over at Clay Center. I was walking home and heard a chain. I turned around and there was a baboon chained to a tree and it bit me on the back of my leg. It burnt, almost like someone shot ya!"

Lowering the bar To the editor: A letter in the June 30 issue of The Press criticizes State Rep. Bob Latta’s stance on EPA regulations, comparing it to his stance on ObamaCare, which the writer calls a success. I guess if you lower the bar enough you can call anything a success, even if all you have to do is step over it. Or in the case of many people, step in it. Didn’t the President want to insure everyone? ObamaCare leaves 30 million uninsured no matter how many states expand Medicaid. Didn’t the President promise that everyone could keep his or her healthcare plans? Insurers dropped millions, and many doctors and hospitals will drop Medicare and Medicaid plans as future mandates drag them into red ink. Didn’t the President promise premiums would go down significantly? They went up significantly. Weren’t we promised deficit reduction? The Congressional Budget Office says it will add $2 trillion in debt over the next decade. In 2010, the CBO predicted ObamaCare would drop the uninsured rate 40 percent by 2014. Two years later the projection was revised to 32 percent. One quarter later it was 25 percent. A year later it was 22 percent. The real number on March 31, 2014 was 12 percent. Keep lowering the bar. Maybe we need to look at success differently. Economist Jonathon Gruber speaking to the New Yorker in 2013 claimed 97 percent of people either benefit or remain unaffected by ObamaCare. Chris Conover breaks down those same numbers for Forbes and finds that 4 out of 5 people are net losers. So who’s right? Let’s assume the first guy is right. That makes ObamaCare so successful that Democrats will crush Republicans in November taking control of both houses

Andrew Stewart Perrysburg "'A bee... I'm allergic. I got stung on my toe just last week. He ƀew through one of the holes in my Crocs."

Kelly Leady Elmore "Cat bite... I work for a vet so I get bit a lot. I have scars. It's just because they are scared or sick... I still love them, but cat bites are the worst."

Tom Avery Genoa "Spider bite... It was a Brown Recluse. It was down on my ankle. They swell up real bad and you have to go get shots and everything."

of Congress as positive ObamaCare campaign commercials flood the airwaves and the President is invited to speak for every troubled Democrat. There’s a contradiction. Why would any Democrat be troubled by ObamaCare? Maybe we just need to give ObamaCare more time and let the government intervene more in people’s healthcare. Just ask our veterans how that’s working. Adam Swartz Walbridge Editor’s note: The Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation have estimated 30 million non-elderly residents will be uninsured in 2016 but most will be exempt from a penalty. Those include unauthorized immigrants, persons with incomes low enough they aren’t required to file tax returns, members of Indian tribes, people who are incarcerated and people who have income below 138 percent of federal poverty guidelines and are ineligible for Medicaid because their state hasn’t expanded eligibility by 2016 under an option provided in the Affordable Care Act.

Campaign pledge To the editor: Emboldened by recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, campaign funding from outside the political parties and their campaigns has exploded. In 2012, outside groups spent more than $1 billion and have already spent $100 million in 2014. We are celebrating Independence Day weekend and Northwest Ohio WWII veterans have been taking Honor Flights to

Washington in honor of the 70th anniversary of D-Day. Did our forefathers, grandfathers and fathers fight and die for our democracy, only to see that democracy perverted and sabotaged by today’s corrupt billionaires? Tired of campaigns reduced to bribes, lies and mudslinging political ads? Something can be done about it. In the 2012 Massachusetts election, Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren agreed to reduce outside spending by agreeing to a People’s Pledge. With this pledge, the candidates agreed to pay a penalty if outside groups, including anonymous “dark money,” spend on their behalf. The result in Massachusetts was that both campaigns were relatively free of smearing ads and remained focused on the issues. Here in Ohio, Gov. Kasich already has a five-to-one campaign funds advantage over his opponent Ed Fitzgerald. Do these candidates and the people of Ohio care enough about democracy to require a People’s Pledge in the Ohio’s governor’s race, or did the freedom fighters at Yorktown and Omaha Beach sacrifice their lives for nothing? Paul Szymanowski Curtice

Library design lacking To the editor: In my opinion the design of the improvements to the Oregon Library, which are being done at taxpayers’ expense, could have been much better. I attended the meeting, and even though no one said anything during the meeting, afterwards, many agreed that it wasn’t at all what it should be. Unfortunately, it seems it is a done deal and changes cannot or will

not be made. Here are a few of my concerns: 1. It does not blend with the current structure; instead is modern and unattractive. 2. The beautiful pergola and wisteria will be destroyed to make room for a “dropoff.” 3. The children’s area is as far from the entry as possible. It would have been much better near the entrance. 4. The addition of a space for teenagers to “hang out” with video games etc. does not seem like a good use of taxpayer funds. I question if the use will justify the expense. 5. The chosen color scheme has nothing to do with the fact that Oregon is close to the lake and is known as “Oregon on the Bay.” Instead, it is more corporate in feel. There is nothing in the design that is special to the location. 6. It doesn’t seem like there is more area for books, but there will be more computers. 7. Meeting room space is being expanded. I can’t comment on that as I don’t know the need. 8. There will be a “café” area – I don’t know why. 9. I don’t understand the need for a 24hour open lobby. Perhaps it will be useful to some patrons. The choice of temporary location at Wynn School could not be more inconvenient. I would think that the old Food Town would have been good or perhaps another currently empty place closer to the current location. I am so sorry that it will be this way when it could have been really special for the patrons and Oregon residents who will look at it every day. Karole Shivak Millbury

Being poor doesn’t necessarily refer to a financial condition There is an enormous difference between someone who is broke and someone who considers themselves poor. Being broke refers to a current financial situation. Poor however, is a state of mind. The person who is broke can rectify their circumstances by improving their finances. As a solution, they seek to change their strategy in a way to improve their finances. There are countless examples of an individual losing all of their money and then making it all back. Even wealthy people have gone through this cycle. Walt Disney didn’t give up after he filed for bankruptcy in 1920. A few years later, in 1928, he founded a new company and created Mickey Mouse. Henry Ford didn’t give up after his first company failed and went bankrupt. He got right back up and started a second company. However his second company also went broke. Undaunted, he launched FORD in 1903. Rowland H. Macy failed at four attempts to open successful retail stores. His fifth venture was opening a store in Manhattan in 1958. This one did well, with sales of $85,000 in the first year. These are but three of numerous examples of people who have lost everything but never considered themselves poor. They were determined to continue until successful. They didn’t waste one second making excuses. They devoted all of their time and energy to turning their situation around.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden The poor person has a self-image of poverty. They believe their financial situation is a result of forces beyond their control. They use poverty as an excuse to justify their circumstances. Anyone may experience tough financial times. What you do when there, and where you go next, are the determining factors that make all the difference. Should you view yourself as a victim who doesn’t have control over their circumstances, you prevent yourself from taking corrective action. Broke vs. poor illustrates the contrast between circumstances and attitude. Although circumstances do fluctuate, it’s your response which determines the future. Action changes circumstances but attitude controls action. So it’s attitude which differentiates between someone who is broke and someone who is poor. An attitude of “woe is me” leads to passivity. With this outlook, no action is taken because there is no point. This approach to life is characteristic of a victim mentality. Victims passively wait for things to get better. They passively wait for adversity to pass.

Victims blame other people or circumstances for their fate. They don’t believe they have any control over what happens to them. Where they are is a result of what has been done to them. The targets they blame include family, friends, the economy, their job, their boss, bad luck, the government, or even strangers. A person who thinks of them self as poor has a victim mentality. If they receive guidance from anyone successful, they have limitless excuses as to why they can’t succeed. A poor person will also claim to have tried numerous strategies, none of which worked for them. A broke person can’t wait to do whatever is necessary to improve their finances. These people know their situation is temporary. They are constantly looking for ideas and inspiration. They study successful people to learn how they have done things. A broke person does whatever is necessary to turn their situation around. If you ever find yourself in an adverse situation, remember that the outcome is based on your outlook. Taking the “poor” approach leaves you passively hoping and waiting for things to get better. Utilizing the “broke” strategy gets you in gear to take whatever action is needed to improve your circumstances. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Tickets available for summer theatre “Peter Pan Jr.” Oregon Community Theatre, in cooperation with the Oregon Recreation Department, will present the Children’s Summer Theatre production, Disney’s “Peter Pan Jr.” July 17, 18, 19, at 7 p.m. and July 19 at 2 p.m. at Fassett Auditorium, 3025 Starr Ave., Oregon. The production features toe-tapping songs featuring 100 kids from Oregon and surrounding communities who are spending their summers learning about live theatre from start to finish – including auditioning, acting, vocal coaching, costuming and stage makeup. Director Beth Giller, pastor of St. Mark Lutheran Church, is teaching the young thespians characterization through theatre games and improvisation. Music director is Kim Padley and producer is Heather Roecker. In addition, high school volunteers are helping out with the program. Affectionately called “the wranglers,” the teenagers help teach the kids and get them where they need to be for the show; they also work as backstage crew. Giller chose the show not only because it’s well known, but also because and it’s whimsical and fun. “It also has a lot of parts for the many area kids who will participate in the production,” she said, adding one of the most challenging aspects about this show is, “making decisions on parts with the many, many talented kids. “It’s very difficult making kids feel comfortable,” she said. “Another challenge is the heat – but it wouldn’t be summer theatre without it.” To help battle summer temperatures, rehearsals are held in the morning and kids are reminded to hydrate often. Tickets for “Peter Pan Jr.” are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and students. Call 419-691-1398 or visit oregoncommunitytheatre.org for more info.

Clay grad playing football with a different ‘look’ By Stephanie Szozda Press Staff Writer sports@presspublications.com The Cleveland Crush of the Legends Football League (LFL) moved to Toledo this year with the hopes of finding a better market for their team. The women’s arena football team was finding it difficult to compete in the Cleveland market against their many professional teams as well as their men’s arena football team. “I just think they were looking for a smaller city, smaller market, smaller venue. I mean the Q holds 25,000 people and it’s kind of hard to fill that,” explains Crush player Jessica Kott, aka Jessi Lynn. “Toledo loves its’ sports and we don’t have a football team here. I know I personally was disappointed when the Bullfrogs didn’t come through. I think we could do very well here. We are not full of sports teams and people in this arena really love football,” Kott said. The 25-year-old Kott is an Oregon native who graduated from Clay High school in 2006. She wears number 17 for the Crush and is an offensive lineman and plays the center and guard position as well as defensive linebacker. This is Kotts’ first season with the Crush. Having only played football when she was younger with the boys in the neighborhood, Kott never played on an organized team until now. “I actually saw it on MTV years ago and I thought that it looked interesting; I got an email stating that they were going to be having tryouts in the Toledo area and that they were going to be bringing a team here, so I discussed it with my fiancé and he said go for it. So I went and tried out,” an excited Kott explained. The players of the LFL play solely for recreation. It is for those with the competitive spirit who have longed for a chance to play the male-dominated sport. Of course there are a few other benefits, Kott said, “The benefits are the fun, the competition, the networking, the level of the exposure that you get because it is a national league and just the love of the game I just tried out because I wanted to play football... The team itself is an absolute blast.” Kotts admits she had reservations at the start. “It was interesting because when I first tried out, I wasn’t really sure how a group of girls was going to be. I was thinking there are 20 of us and I’ve never really had a lot of girly girlfriends,” she said. “So it was amazing the way we all just came together and everybody just got along. There was no cattiness; it was like we’re out here to play football. We’re playing a man’s sport. There is no room for emotions and crazy women’s stuff.” As for the uniform Kott says, “It’s not my favorite. I’ve competed in figure competitions so showing skin really isn’t something that I’m opposed to because I work really hard for my body. So I’m not against it. That’s not my favorite part of it at all but if that’s the way that we have to get on to a larger field and get into a larger focus… you know; it is what it is.” Recalling her first game, Kott said, “I was a little bit nervous the first game because I wasn’t sure how a hit on that turf was going to feel, but it was a rush being out there so I think your nerves go away pretty quick.” Although the turnout at the first game

Jessica Lynn's daughter, Makaylah Kott, taking pride in watching her mother play football at the Huntington Center in downtown Toledo. (Press photo by Scott Grau) against Baltimore at the Huntington Center didn’t draw the numbers they had hoped for, there was still a lot of buzz after the game. “We had a meet-and-greet afterwards with the fans and people’s reactions were ‘Man I didn’t know what to expect coming into this but this was definitely not it.’ It was definitely a lot more than they anticipated. Even on Ticketmaster, I read a couple of reviews and people were loving it,”

she said. Kott is hopeful for the sport in this area. “I think that it’s something that could take off; once people get in the door and they actually see us play they see the athletic ability shine through and I think they aren’t really concerned with the uniform as much anymore.” For Kott however playing at the Huntington Center it is not just about the numbers but rather the opportunity, “It’s so

fun. I mean it’s the biggest arena I’ve ever played in so it’s almost surreal when you walk out on that field for warm-ups and you look up and you see all of the seats. “Then when you come out of that tunnel — my heart was just pounding. My adrenalin was rushing,” she said. Since the league is still in the introductory stage, there are only four games in a season and the Crush has already played one of their two home games. The last home game will be at the Huntington Center Friday July 11 at 8 p.m. versus the Atlanta Steam. Excitement is brewing for their next match-up as Atlanta will be missing their coveted quarterback Dakota Hughes due to a wrist injury, Kott said. “If you saw the Baltimore game, they ran on us a lot. Our defense had a really hard time stopping the run. So I think that Atlanta is going to see that and think it’s not going to hurt them at all to be without Dakota,” she said. “So we’ve adjusted our defense so that we’ll be able to stop the run; I’m not sure how good their back-up quarterback is because she’s new as well. I think as long as we can stop the run, we’ll have a pretty good chance, but their offense is solid.” For more information, visit www. lflus.com/toledocrush or visit the team on Facebook. Tickets are available at all Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster. com, the Huntington Center Box Office, www.huntingtoncentertoledo.com and charge by phone at 800-745-3000.

Jay Martis on the fast track at Oakshade Raceway By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

First, you need a car… Jay drives a 132-horsepower 1995 Dodge Neon. Getting that ride was step No. 1 for the Martis family. “We basically just started gutting it and building it and making it a race car,” John said. “We had to get the engine, the chassis. We had a sponsor put the safety cage in it. The sponsors definitely helped him get his start. Financially, I could only help him do so much.” The car was finally ready to race at Oakshade on April 26. Jay and his family didn’t know much about the other drivers, and the other drivers knew nothing about Jay.

Father John Martis and 14-yearold son Jay Martis, an East Toledo resident who has a chance to win an Oakshade Speedway title racing mostly against adults. (Press photo by Russ Lytle) “I just wanted him to be safe and learn the track,” John said. “I told him before he took off that we’re not looking to win, just do the best he can. I pretty much told him this is your first race and a chance to learn. I was proud of him, even if he would have finished last, as long as he came back safe.” Jay got behind the wheel that night without ever having had any practice time in the car. “Basically, hot laps was my practice and I didn’t know how I was going to handle it,” Jay said. “I didn’t know if I was going to get scared and not do it. My heart was pumping and I stuck through it and just did my best. I think I did pretty well my first time out there, with no practice at all. I thought it would be harder to handle the car than it was, keeping your line when you have cars next to you going three wide around a corner.” Jay took ninth the following week at Oakshade, on May 3, then placed third on May 10. Two weeks later he was fourth, and then second on May 31. Jay was credited with the first victory of his fledgling career on June 7. According to Oakshade Raceway’s website, “John Martis darted out to the front of the Wallace Racing Products Sport Compact feature event at the drop of the green flag. Nick Jenema quickly closed in

and took command by lap two. Jenema then set sail and pulled away to what would have been an easy victory if it weren’t for a post race situation. There is a claim rule in the Sport Compacts at Oakshade Raceway and if a driver refuses a claim, the win is forfeited as well as all points. This was the case for Jenema, who refused to accept the claim. John Martis was then credited with the win.” Regardless, the 5-foot-10, 150-pound Martis had made his presence felt. He was a driver to be reckoned with. “When they called my name, I said, ‘hey, I got my first win,’ ” Jay said. “I was going crazy. It was the best night of my life. I think people can look at it, I’m 14 and

this is my first year of racing and I have a chance to win a championship and win some races. I’m really competitive with everyone out there. Two weeks ago I got taken out (by another driver) in turn three because he thought I had a good chance of winning that night.” Jay finished sixth in the main event on June 14, but came back to win again on June 21. “It’s not easier than I thought,” he said, “but I thought it would be a lot harder than it is.” Drivers learn at an early age that winning any event is never easy, and Jay will come to that realization sooner than later. But know this: Heading into the June 28 race, Jay was second in points in his division, just 37 points behind leader Brandon Myers of Morenci, Mich. The elder Martis has resigned himself to the fact that his son is hooked on the sport forever. “We support him,” John said. “This is what he wants to do. He’s got his mind set on trying to go through the ranks to try to make this a career for himself down the line. He’s a great student, he works on the car and he puts his time into it and is out there helping. I work late hours during the week, so he’s always out there in the evenings helping out.”

It’s not easier than I thought, but I thought it would be a lot harder than it is.

There is John C. Martis and there is John W. Martis. People refer to John W. as “Jay,” just to be able to separate one from the other. One Martis is much older and is a proud father, but he has never driven a race car in his life. The other is a mature-for-hisage 14-year-old, roots for NASCAR driver Kyle Busch and made his racing debut April 26 at Oakshade Raceway in Wauseon. Jay is the 14-year-old and has had a desire to go racin’ since age 8, according to the father and the son. “I’ve liked racing all my life,” Jay said. “I like seeing cars go in a circle, going fast. This is what I’ve wanted to do all my life. I watched any racing I could growing up. That’s what got me hooked on racing.” John and Jay live in East Toledo (Jay’s mom, Brandy Renfer, lives in Pemberville) and they both have the same goal: To make Jay the best race car driver he can be. It may be happening faster than both Martis boys anticipated. “Jay’s wanted to race since he was younger, but we kept him in football,” John said. “He played football since he was 8. We never got him involved in racing that young, especially with the safety issue. We found out he could get started in the dirt track series at Oakshade, so last year we started building his car and this year is his first year.” Jay attended Eastwood as a freshman, but he will go to school at Penta Career Center this fall to learn the heating and air conditioning trade, just in case. Jay would rather become the next Kyle Busch. “I like the way he drives,” Jay said. “He’s really good. He can drive anything.” Jay doesn’t have a driver’s license, but he’s proved that he can handle himself behind the wheel. On April 26, Jay made his racing debut at Oakshade’s three-eighthmile dirt oval track and finished 11th in the Wallace Racing Products Sport Compact division, for four-cylinder cars.

The Press Box Mud Hens’ Mike Hessman breaks IL home run record Toledo Mud Hens third baseman Mike Hessman hit home run number 259 over the left-field wall at Victory Field in Indianapolis landing him in the history book for all-time home runs in the International League. Hessman broke Ollie Carnegie’s record, who hit 258 home runs with Buffalo between 1931 and 1941, and 1945. The record breaker came in the top of the third inning off Indians pitcher Jake Brigham. Earlier this month, the 36-year old slugger became the sixth player to hit 400 career home runs in the minor leagues. He is the current active minor league home run leader with 404, and is closing in on the all-time home run mark in American Minor League history of 432, set by Buzz Arlett. Hessman holds several Toledo records including the all-time career home run record for a player with 155 far out distancing runner up Ryan Rayburn who hit 67. In addition to home runs, Hessman now holds the all-time RBI record, and the modern era records for runs scored, and doubles. On June 26 in Gwinnett, Hessman surpassed Wayne Comer to become Toledo’s modern-day era record-holder for hits at 521. Hessman is in his sixth season with the Mud Hens, returning to Toledo in 2014 after playing in Toledo from 2005 through 2009.

Clay Class of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;79 to hold 35th annual reunion

Walters Scholarship awarded Owens Community College student Conner Edgar, of Toledo, has been chosen by the Walters Family to receive a $500 Ryan, Mary and Hayden Walters Scholarship for the upcoming 2014-15 academic year. In June 2010, Ryan, Mary and Hayden Walters lost their lives as a result of a tornado and damaging storms that devastated the Northwest Ohio region. Established in 2011, the endowed scholarship honors their legacy and commitment to lifelong learning. The scholarship is given annually to an Owens student with aspirations of careers in early childhood education, information systems, computer programming and computer systems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On behalf of the Waltersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family, extended family, friends and local community, it is truly an honor to present the Ryan, Mary and Hayden Walters Scholarship to Conner Edgar,â&#x20AC;? said Robin Arquette, who is the sister of Ryan Walters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives us great joy and pride to be able to assist in helping students in the community achieve their educational goals.â&#x20AC;? Selection criteria for the scholarship is based upon recipients being enrolled in a minimum of six credit hours at Owens per semester and achieving a minimum 2.0 cumulative grade point average. Additionally, preference is given to a student who is majoring in early childhood education, information systems, computer programming and computer systems. Scholarship applicants also must write an essay describing how they will utilize their college degree to give back to the community. Edgar is pursuing an associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in early childhood education and plans to continue on to obtain a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree from the University of Toledo. He graduated in 2012 from Whitmer High School with a 4.0 GPA and will be the first person in his family to attend college. He ultimately envisions a career working with children with learning disabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teaching and working with children is what I have always dreamed of doing,â&#x20AC;? Edgar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Receiving this scholarship will help me to continue my service to the community and pay it forward. The experience of helping others has taught me that it is not the material things in life that make you happy but building relationships and sharing with others.â&#x20AC;?

Owens students inducted Four area Owens Community College students were among the spring inductees into the Gamma Zeta Chapter of the Chi Alpha Epsilon National Honor Society. Inductees included Julie Bitter, of Oregon (education); Jennifer Cavey, of Oregon (criminal justice); Chelsea Hooks, of Oregon (dental hygiene); Kristen Borcherding-Jacobs, of Luckey (occupational therapy assistant); Sarah Soncrant, of Northwood (accounting technology) and Tonya Young of Elmore (accounting technology).

As another school year comes to an end, many students are once again placing their backpacks in storage or are discarding them entirely in anticipation of buying next fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest fashion trend. Once again, Owens Community College Alumni Association is sponsoring the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Backpack to the Futureâ&#x20AC;? drive, which collects backpacks, along school supplies, which will be donated to low-income students in Northwest Ohio when the next school year begins. Throughout the summer, area residents are encouraged to donate new and gently used backpacks, along with new school supplies, including crayons, markers, glue, colored pencils, folders, tissues, etc. at the Owens Office of Alumni Relations on the Toledo-area campus. Since establishing the program in 2004, the Owens Alumni Association has given 3,399 backpacks and 62,224 school supply items to benefit disadvantaged children throughout Northwest Ohio. For more information or to make a donation, call 1-800-GO-OWENS, ext. 7876 or email alumni@owens.edu.

Visiting students participate as active members of the family and integrate into their hostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily routines and traditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year our region plays host to hundreds of talented, top-of-their-class students with the lifelong dream of studying in America,â&#x20AC;? said Emily Rolin, iE-USAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Area Director. iE-USA, the sponsoring program, is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting education and understanding through intercultural and academic exchange.

Oregon Wendy’s to raise funds for adoption Wendy’s is supporting adoption locally, one brick at a time. According to a company spokesperson, from now through July 31, select Wendy’s restaurants in Northwest Ohio are striving to raise $5,000, the cost to adopt one child into a loving and permanent family. To reach this goal, local Wendy’s restaurants are selling paper “sandcastle bricks” for $1. All proceeds will beneﬁt the Adopt America Network, located in Toledo. Customers can visit participating Wendy’s and purchase a “sandcastle brick”, sign their name on it and have it displayed in the restaurant to show their support of adoption. Participating Wendy’s include 26630 N Dixie Hwy, Perrysburg; 27240 Crossroads Pkwy, Rossford; 1094 S Main St. Bowling Green; 1504 E Wooster St. Bowling Green and 2866 Navarre Ave. Oregon. On July 19th, Wendy’s at 26630 N Dixie Hwy in Perrysburg will host a classic car show. Commemorative plush dice and tshirts will be sold at the event to raise even more funds for the Adopt America Network. Wendy’s founder, Dave Thomas, was adopted as a child. He was an advocate for children in foster care and was committed to raising awareness of children who are waiting for permanent homes and loving families in North America. He founded the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, a nonproﬁt public charity dedicated to increasing adoptions of children in North America’s foster care system. The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption works in collaboration locally with the Adopt America Network to increase the number of adoptions in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan. For more information about the Adopt America Network, visit adoptamericanetwork.org.

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

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

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.
