Genoa Quarry

Open to all but membership dwindling By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com As memberships at the Genoa quarry continue to drop, village officials wonder if it and an adjacent park area are succumbing to a change in lifestyle for families and children. Two years ago quarry memberships reached 120 but dropped last year to 61. This year, only 41 memberships have been purchased. “It’s been trending down,” Mayor Mark Williams said. “I’m told back in the 1950s the village sold more than 300 passes in a season. But few people had pools.” However, at a time when health advisories for beaches along Lake Erie are not uncommon and stories of algal blooms in the lake dominate the headlines, the mayor and Mike Thomas, the parks director, are puzzled why the quarry, with its beach area, two diving boards, four rafts and a tube slide, doesn’t draw larger crowds. “We get the water tested every year by the Ottawa County Health Department,” Thomas said. “This water is very clean. It’s spring fed, so it’s constantly regenerating itself. On a clear day you can see about 10

A site on Oregon and Wales roads in Northwood will become the central campus of Buckeye CableSystem and Telesystem, it was announced last week. The company will move over 500 employees from Toledo to a 150,000-squarefoot facility that is currently being used by Taylor, Nelson and Sofres (TNS), formerly NFO, at 2700 Oregon Road. Buckeye CableSystem recently bought the building, said Northwood City Administrator Bob Anderson. According to the Wood County Auditor’s website, the building was purchased June 26 for $6.25 million. TNS, a market research company, employs 137 people. The city, which has a 1.5 percent income tax rate, collects about $125,000 annually in revenue from the company’s payroll. The city will help TNS find another location, said Anderson. “I would love to keep them in the city,” said Anderson. “Bob and I are going to be working hard to keep them in the community,” said Glenn Grisdale, a planning and economic development consultant for Northwood. Northwood is expected to collect about $345,000 annually in income tax revenue from Buckeye CableSystem, according to Grisdale, who has been involved in negotiating the agreement. Officials from Block Communications, Inc., the parent company of Buckeye, commented on the move to Northwood in a prepared statement issued on Tuesday. “A central campus will enable the companies to continue to grow and innovate to meet the needs of their residential and business customers,” said Allan Block, chairman of Block Communications, Inc. “By bringing under one roof employees now spread out at over a dozen buildings, we will bring efficiencies to our business and even better service to our customers.” W.H. (Chip) Carstensen, the recently retired president of Block Communications, Inc., who led the site-selection process, said “We explored numerous possible approaches to consolidating our operations. This site was far and away our best option to serve our customers.”

feet deep into the water.” Usually three lifeguards are on duty during the week and another is added during the weekends, depending on the size of the crowds. The quarry is even open to those who like to fish and is stocked with perch, walleye, bass, blue gill, trout, catfish and more. A 45-acre park adjacent to the quarry features a sand volleyball court, two tennis courts, two basketball courts, two shelter houses, four ball diamonds and three soccer fields. A half-pipe constructed about 15 years ago when skateboarding was the rage, still gets some use but more by kids on small bikes.

The village is completing the construction of a new building that will be used for storage and to register members and a bath house has been renovated. With all the amenities, Williams and Thomas are wondering if the park and quarry still appeal to a generation that spends much of its time in front of a computer screen. “Times have changed, kids have changed,” Thomas said. “But we just want people to use the quarry.” Membership is open to residents and non-residents. Village residents are charged $40 for a family seasonal pass and $35 for individuals. Residents who live outside the village but in the Genoa School District are charged $55 for families and $45 for individuals. Those living outside the school district are charged $75 for families and $65 for individuals. The daily rate is $4 for anyone 12 years and older and $3 for ages three to 11. The in-town rates have not been increased in 15 years, the mayor said. Village officials are making plans for an end-of-season beach party, he said. “We want people to know this is a family place.”

New building to service park, quarry By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out with the old and in with the new at Genoaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main park. Genoa officials razed the old bath house at Veterans Park and months later are putting the finishing touches on a new building at the same site. But even as the height of summer season fun explodes across the park centered on the quarry, the building wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be ready for park staff and patron use this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the approval from the county building inspection,â&#x20AC;? Village Administrator Kevin Gladden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we need to get in

there and do some electrical work.â&#x20AC;? The old bath house stood at the site since 1940s. There swimmers dropped a quarter into the slot to pay for a basket to hold their clothes. But over the years, the structure fell into disrepair, so much so that renovation was no longer an option. It has been closed for a number of years. The only thing the village was able to save was the foundation. The concrete contained some substantial cracks. However, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tri County came in and put an epoxy coat across it and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful,â&#x20AC;? the administrator said. Initially, village leaders thought the construction project would cost $30,000.

Swimmers will purchase tickets and make shelter house reservations there and other park equipment will be stored there. It could also likely be the office of Parks Director Mike Thomas.

The office might end up in the new pole building scheduled to be erected in its place, Gladden said. This summer, park employees are working out of a temporary building.

Genoa building owner fights for zoning change By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press Scott Bowe is an entrepreneur with a vision. He wants to renovate an old school building along Genoa’s Main Street into a functioning part of the community. Bowe will make his plea for a zoning change from residential-one to neighborhood business district at a 7 p.m. public hearing July 20, at Genoa Town Hall. The building stands at 310 Main St. in the G. Bowers Block 1, lots 1-8. The Genoa Planning Commission recommendation includes a number of stipulations to the request, including no outside storage, sales or overnight parking in the large back lot and lighting restrictions. Those stipulations conflict with the Helena resident’s plan to turn the site into an office building, shop and lot for campers, according to Village Administrator Kevin Gladden. “He has a trailer, camper restoration business. They’re like Air Stream but smaller,” Gladden explained. “Scott has done some great restoration projects. He’s not bringing junk here.” Bowe, who is involved with Pioneer Properties LLC, the company formally making the request has completed a number of school building renovations and was the driving force in the Old Lime Building renovation in Woodville. The property known around town as the old Camper building, a structure jettisoned long ago by the Genoa Local School System as district officials set goals on new buildings and upgraded, consolidated facilities for their students. Afterward, the building housed a satellite office of the North Point Education Service Center. That agency moved its staff and students in the fall of 2013 to the Graytown Elementary building purchased from the BentonCarroll-Salem School District. In early 2014, Bowe bought the three-story building at auction for $10,000.

Senior center upgrades Ottawa County has released nearly $60,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding for Genoa Senior Center repairs. Poggemeyer Design Group has worked on the engineering plans and project bids. Upgrades include a new steel door, tip pointing building blocks and new windows in front and back of the building. “We’ve got some serious issues with those windows,” Gladden said. The bidding process will be overseen by the Ottawa Regional Planning Commission.

Solar fields Village council recently voted not to venture into its own solar panel project. “AMP was looking at some sites for solar projects. But there would be large debt on that project. So the village opted not to do that,” the administrator said. Instead, the village may subscribe to another solar panel project through the AMP system in order to collect power from that source at a reduced cost. “We don’t really have the room for it,” Gladden said. The only real option at this point is the five acres owned by the village near the old Brunner Elementary building. That area is surrounded by soccer fields and other recreational activities. Courtney and Associates is undertaking an electrical study for the village to examine its options for power sources including solar power.

The Wood County Republican Party has scheduled a meeting July 30 to appoint a successor to the seat on the county’s board of commissioners being vacated by Jim Carter. Carter has announced plans to retire, effective July 24. Letters have been sent to members of the party’s central and executive committees, advising them of the meeting which will be held at Nazareth Hall, 21211 W. State Route 65, Grand Rapids. The meeting will start at 7 p.m. Matt Reger, who chairs the executive committee, said interested candidates are to submit resumes to him by July 24 to be included on the ballot. Members of the central committee will vote but the meeting is open to members of the executive committee and others interested in the selection, he said. In a letter to Wood County residents, drafted a few days after celebrating his 76th birthday, Carter said, “I have decided it is time to complete my service as your commissioner, spend more time with my wife Sharon and family, and possibly look for other ways to be involved in supporting our communities. “Twenty years ago this month I began my service as your Wood County commissioner. It has been a tremendous honor to be a part of Wood County’s success over the years,” he said. “I leave office pleased that Wood County’s economy is one of the strongest in Ohio. We have a good jobs climate, an excellent bond rating and our county financial condition is as healthy as it has been in many years.” A retirement reception for Carter is scheduled for July 24 from 1:30-4 p.m. in the fifth floor lobby of the County Office Building, One Courthouse Square, Bowling Green. Light refreshments will be served and the public is welcome to attend. Carter has served as Wood County Commissioner since 1995. Prior to that he was mayor of Grand Rapids.

Plans call for a Municipal Utility District, or tax-sharing district, to be created at the site in which Toledo and Northwood would share income tax revenue over a 20 year period. There has been some discussion about giving a larger share of the revenue to Toledo during the first two years, with Northwood getting more revenue than Toledo for the remaining 18 years, though the revenue sharing agreement is still under negotiation. “The agreement is a work in progress,” said Grisdale. Toledo provides water and sewer services to the area. “We are committed partners in promoting the economic prosperity of our entire region,” said Anderson. “We are bound to Toledo not only with water and sewer services but in so many other social and economic aspects as well. A Municipal Utility District is just one element of our ongoing commitment to working together for mutual gain.” There were no tax incentives offered to Buckeye CableSystem, said Anderson. “The property is an ideal location. It’s right off I-75.” Buckeye, as part of the agreement, wants to install an electronic message board for advertising on I-75, said Anderson. “The city for years has discussed modernizing our signs. We never used to be able to have movable type. But with the advent of technology, electronic messaging boards are becoming the thing now. Buckeye was interested in putting up a large advertising sign along I-75. We did research into other communities that have large signs like that, and I couldn’t see anything wrong with it. We passed an ordinance that will allow electronic messaging boards along the interstates that run through Northwood. Our verbal agreement with Buckeye is that they will donate so many seconds to public service announcements. So we’ll get some time on their messaging board. They can’t have flashing lights in their advertising, so it will not be a distraction to drivers. The signs are very expensive, but Buckeye will be paying for it if they decide to erect it.” Northwood officials have been actively preparing to accommodate new opportuni-

ties by improving its various planning and economic development tools, according to Anderson. In 2013, the city updated and expanded its Community Reinvestment Area (CRA) to provide tax incentives, on a case-by-case basis, for residents and businesses that make new property investments or renovate existing properties. There is also a jobs grant program for certain types of businesses that create and retain jobs in the community. “In Northwood, we understand the value that businesses bring to our community and are committed to making our value known to them,” said Anderson. The rules here in Northwood are simple because we want our businesses to focus on being profitable and not on excessive regulations.”

City council OK’s bid for drainage improvements Oregon City Council on Monday approved the bids of Cash Services, LLC, of Northwood, to make storm sewer improvements to Jersey Road and Van Buren Avenue. Cash Services bid $54,178 to improve Jersey Road and $33,089 for the Van Buren Avenue project. The bids were the lowest submitted for the projects. Other bids for the Jersey Road project included: Paschal Bihn & Son’s Excavating, Oregon, $64,510; Salenbien Trucking & Excavating, Inc., Dundee, Michigan, $67,917.85, and Hank’s Plumbing and Heating, Toledo, $64,982.

Cash Services was the lowest and best bid.

Heating bid $37,182. “Cash Services was the lowest and best bid. They have done similar work for us. They did meet the city’s best bid criteria,” said Public Service Director Paul Roman. The Jersey Road Storm Improvement project consists of installing a 12” storm sewer along Jersey Road and Rogers Lane tying into the existing storm sewer along Woodville Road, according to Roman. The work also includes catch basin installation,

manhole installation, and related work. “That is the shortest path to properly drain this corner,” said Roman. Other areas tend to drain into Jersey and Rogers. “It’s a problem for the road itself, which always has a lot of water in it. I think it’s even a bigger issue in the winter rain events,” he said. The Van Buren Storm Improvement project consists of installing an 18” storm sewer along Van Buren Avenue between Starr and Olivewood avenues. The work also includes manhole installation and related work. “Van Buren is off Starr Avenue. Olivewood is another east-west street that comes into Van Buren. Olivewood itself is really low,” said Roman. “And a lot of that neighborhood drains into an old drainage system that goes through the backyards. There’s a storm sewer that goes straight out to Starr that’s only 300 feet away. We think

simply tying an overflow on Van Buren into that system is going to drain the whole Olivewood area much quicker. It’s a real simple idea. Overflow systems are used all the time.” Both projects are small, he said, but “I think they do a lot of good for their areas.” Some might ask how the city can send more flow to Woodville, since it backed up last month during the heavy rain event, he said. “Yes, it did back up, but we had a 200 year event. I think for most events, Woodville drains just fine. This area still floods on those events. This would make it work better. The other thing is Rogers and Jersey are due to be repaved. And this water definitely adds to the problem to the road itself. It definitely deteriorates at a much quicker pace. So that’s one other reason for the storm sewer work on Jersey,” said Roman.

Reunion planned

Good Shepherd, Epiphany of the Lord parishes to merge By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com The Diocese of Toledo announced July 12 that Good Shepherd Parish, 550 Clark St., East Toledo, will merge with Epiphany of the Lord Parish. Epiphany of the Lord was formed in 2005 when the Toledo parishes of Sacred Heart, St. Stephen and St. Thomas Aquinas merged to form one parish community. The parish includes more than 1,700 registered households and more than 4,200 parishioners. The merger, known canonically as an “extinctive-union merger,” means that Good Shepherd Parish will close and its territory will become part of Epiphany of the Lord Parish, effective Aug. 24. After nearly a year of discussing the grave challenges facing Good Shepherd, the community and various representative councils and organizations of the parish forwarded their collective considerations to Bishop Thomas in April. The Bishop, in turn, met with Sister Marguerite Lamberjack, pastoral leader of Good Shepherd Parish, the Bishop’s Cabinet and the Diocesan Priests’ Council to obtain their counsel on how best to proceed. Bishop Thomas, considering the relevant facts and recommendations, made the final decision. The announcement was shared at Sunday Masses at both parishes. A copy of the announcement and the official canonical decree regarding the merger can be found online at toledodiocese.org. “Sadly, in cases such as this, the inability of a parish to be self-sustaining and remain viable means that the parish has essentially closed itself,” Bishop Thomas wrote in a letter to Good Shepherd parishioners. “While such a merger may invoke feelings of deep pain, uncertainty and a sense of loss, it should not diminish our faith. Challenging times call us to encourage and support one another as holy disciples of Jesus Christ. The primary way we do this is by continuing to live and practice our Catholic faith in love.” Good Shepherd Parish was founded in 1873 to serve the growing Irish immigrant community. As of June 30, 2015, the parish had approximately 550 parishioners, down from more than 900 in the year 2000, and 322 registered households, a decrease of nearly 20 percent since the year 2000. Sunday Mass attendance and the celebration of the Sacraments also sharply declined in recent years. Decreases in sacramental participation and celebrations, as well as circumstances and costs related to the parish campus, have led to financial deficits, which in turn have prevented the parish from meeting its

The parish also faces long-term capital expenses, including the maintenance and repairs to an aging church and now vacant school building. “During my time at Good Shepherd, I have come to love the parishioners and staff, as well as our beautiful church building,” said Sister Marguerite. “Nonetheless, as I looked to the future, I could only see the reality that our parish would continue to diminish. I agree with Bishop Thomas and accept his decision that we are not able to function as an individual parish any longer. “I admire and highly commend the parishioners and staff of Good Shepherd Parish for their dedication and supreme efforts to live as a community of faith for the past 142 years,” she continued. “At the same time, I look to the future with renewed hope for greater vitality as we merge with Epiphany of the Lord Parish.”

“Epiphany of the Lord Parish welcomes the parishioners of Good Shepherd with open arms,” said Father Michael Geiger, pastor of Epiphany of the Lord. “Our hope and prayer is that we will walk with Good Shepherd parishioners in this challenging time, but also, that together we will continue to be the faithful disciples of Jesus active in the East Toledo community and beyond.” School reunion planned A reunion for all students who have attended Good Shepherd Elementary School is being planned for Saturday, Aug. 1 from 6-10 p.m. in the school gym/auditorium on the corner of Utah and Nevada streets in East Toledo, adjacent to Good Shepherd Church. Anyone who attended Good Shepherd is welcome to attend. The school opened in 1915 and closed its doors due to declining enrollment in 1991.

“As best as I know, there has never been a reunion of any class in all the years of the school’s existence, so this has the potential of drawing a lot of people who might not have seen fellow classmates since their respective graduation days,” said Patrick Power, one of the event’s organizers. “Thanks to Facebook, many of us have been able to reacquaint in the virtual sense, and a few of us thought, why not take it to the next level and actually get together?” There will be a $5 cover charge per person to help pay for the hall rental, insurance, soft drinks and light snacks.

City’s Boomfest draws record crowds

“

If I could get Peter Frampton for $50,000, I would gethim.

“

The sixth annual Boomfest, Oregon’s annual July 4 celebration held at Oak Shade Grove, drew a record crowd. “It was incredible,” Oregon Mayor Mike Seferian said last week. “It was a great event,” said Oregon Councilman James Seaman at Monday’s council meeting. In addition to the expected fireworks display at dusk, three bands provided entertainment. The headliner, the Little River Band, had 13 top 40 hits in the 1970s and 80s. The hits they sang included “Lonesome Loser,” “Help is on the Way,” “Cool Change,” “Take it Easy on Me,” and “Reminiscing.” The other bands featured that day included The KGB, who sang several Motown hits, and Arctic Clam, one of the top local cover bands in the area. The event also featured a car show. “I’ll bet we had 11,000 to 12,000 people come this year,” said Seferian. “We had people come from Cleveland and Ann Arbor. The Hollywood Casino had a group of top rated comedians on that day. Almost no one went. They were all at Oak Shade Grove in the City of Oregon.” The weather, just one week after the June 27 heavy rain event that caused se-

vere flooding, was “perfect” on July 4, said Seferian. “The Saturday before was terrible. One week later, the weather couldn’t have been better. It was 78 degrees, just as perfect a day as could be.” In a text message to Wayne Nelson, the lead singer of Little River Band, Seferian said that the turnout was “beyond our expectations.” “We were texting back and forth. I said `I know it isn’t me they came out to see.’ He said `It could have been.’ I said `Definitely not. But I will let you share the credit with Mother Nature.’ They did a very nice job.” In addition to the good weather and the draw of the Little River Band, it helped that the event was free, he said. “They could walk right up to the stage and almost reach out and touch them,” said Seferian. This year, he had a stage built at the

west end of the parking lot in the back of the Oak Shade Grove complex so that everyone could see the band at the same time. Bands had performed in the Schwabenhalle (open air pavilion) in previous years. “I knew there was going to be at least twice as many people coming to the event as we had in the past. They couldn’t see past the roof line. And it was so wet all around there days before. I know people in the industry, and they drove all night to get here Saturday morning to set that stage up. It was an enormous amount of work,” Seferian said. Corporate sponsorship and other donations provide half of the fee for the entertainment while the city pays the balance. The Little River Band’s fee was $20,000, a bump up from the $16,500 fee for Terri Nunn and Berlin to perform at last year’s Boomfest. Seferian is already looking for next year’s entertainment. His wish is to snag Peter Frampton, but his $150,000 fee is too high. Seferian hopes to negotiate a cheaper fee, particularly since Frampton lives in Cincinnati. “What I’m trying to do is get the biggest name we could afford,” said Seferian. “I’ll go through agents, do whatever I can to get the best deal. We’re a city with a pretty big budget. I could spend $150,000 and we could afford that. But I have to sell that. If I could get Peter Frampton for $50,000, I would get him.”

Statute at issue in Woodmore’s vacancy suit By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A response filed in court on behalf of Dan Hoppe, whose appointment to the Woodmore school board is being challenged by the Sandusky County prosecutor’s office, repeats the claim his appointment met the requirements set by state law for filling a vacant seat. The response was filed earlier this month in the Sixth District Court of Appeals for Sandusky County. “After reviewing the initial filings by both parties, we remain confident that the court of appeals will hold that Mr. Hoppe properly holds his seat on the board,” Tim McCarthy, attorney for Hoppe, said last week. “He was first appointed by a majority of a quorum of the board in a meeting on May 19, and then by a majority of the full four-member board on May 31. Either qualifies him to hold the office of member of the Woodmore Board of Education.” The county prosecutor’s office filed a complaint June 11, contending the board

violated state law when it appointed Hoppe to a seat vacated by Grant Cummings, then the board vice president, who resigned in early May. The complaint says Ohio Revised Code requires an appointment to be made by a probate court judge when a school board doesn’t appoint someone during its first meeting after a 10-day interval following the resignation date. The complaint asks that Hoppe prove he is rightfully a member of the board and, failing to do that, asks he be removed him from the board. The board met in a special meeting May 12 to interview five candidates. However, the four board members couldn’t agree on who should fill the vacant seat when they met during a regular meeting on May 19 – about 13 days after Cummings resigned. Board president Steve Huss then scheduled a special meeting for May 31 and the members present, Corinna Bench, Julie Bowman, and Huss unanimously voted for Hoppe. Board member Joe Liszak decided to not attend the meeting, arguing the board had missed the deadline set by state law. The positions taken by the prosecutor’s

office and Hoppe’s attorney differ in how many meetings a board may schedule to vote on an appointment. “A board of education has a window of opportunity that opens 10 days after a vacancy occurs and closes 30 days after a vacancy occurs in which it may select a successor to fill a vacancy,” McCarthy’s response says. “That successor can be selected in the ‘next regular’ of the board… or in a ‘special’ meeting of the board. If the board…is unable to agree, by a majority vote, upon a successor during that time, the decision defaults to the probate court.” At Liszak’s request, Norman Solze, an assistant prosecutor with the Sandusky County office; Mark Mulligan, the Ottawa County prosecutor, and Jim Stucko, of a Columbus firm formerly retained by the board, have offered interpretations of the statute. All say a board is required to fill a vacancy at its first meeting – whether it’s a regular or special meeting - sometime between a 10-day waiting period after the vacancy occurs and a 30-day deadline from when the seat is vacated.

Those honored include: Big Apple Deli, Oregon; Dairy Depot, Oregon; DG’s Soft Serve, Curtice; East Toledo Senior Center, East Toledo; Little Sisters of the Poor, Oregon and Sonic Drive-In, Oregon.

Workplace office space that better supports the company’s plans for expansion. Privately-owned Gordon Lumber operates six lumberyards and a component plant in northwest Ohio. The company was founded in 1868 and employs approximately 100 people. Annual sales for the company are roughly $40 million.

On the boards

Expansion

Gordon Lumber has a new board of directors following the annual shareholders meeting and board of directors meeting, which followed. Shareholders made a significant change by expanding the board from three to five. Pamela Goetsch, a descendent of company founder Washington Gordon, was elected chairman of the board. Joining her are returning members Jeff Dornbusch and Mark Hablitzel, along with new members Jennie Gwilym and Betsy Snow. Goetsch said in a company statement, “The changes made today align with the three principles that reflect the long-held values of Gordon Lumber and its founders: effect change for the long haul, not for the quick return on our investment; focus on doing things the right way; and, concentrate on our core businesses and rural customer base.” According to company President Erin Leonard, the new Board will bring revitalized energy to the privately-held company as it aggressively moves forward with dedicated plans for growth in the coming years. Leonard said that the company plans to refine its Ohio property holdings. Following a relocation of its component plant operations from Oak Harbor to Findlay, Gordon Lumber plans to sell its existing Oak Harbor facility. Additionally, since the company’s Fremont office space no longer supports its growth initiative, they are also selling that property and will seek out new corporate

nspirational essage of the eek: Puttering & Other Ways to Savor Life During my childhood, my father would often preface his trips to the garage with the announcement that he was going downstairs to â&#x20AC;&#x153;putter,â&#x20AC;? often saying that he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;just going to putter aroundâ&#x20AC;? in the garage. What he usually ended up doing for the next few hours was fixing broken toys, lamps or other appliances, or working on the cars. I distinctly remember looking up the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;putterâ&#x20AC;? after hearing my father use the term, trust me, he â&#x20AC;&#x153;putteredâ&#x20AC;? a lot, and chuckling when I read the definition: to occupy oneself with minor or unimportant tasks. But even then I knew that what my father was doing wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t minor or unimportant. Seeing him fix broken stuff around the house was an

Oregon

important lesson on the value of resourcefulness, frugality, and helping others. Some of my most productive days now are those lazy Saturdays when I putter around the house, doing some housework perhaps between writing these short pieces, and then maybe going for a walk. We never know what we might find or how we might get inspired when we putter. You don't always need a prioritized list in order to get stuff done or to savor life in all its glory. Sometimes you just need to take the time to putter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Praise the Lord , my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.â&#x20AC;? Psalm103:1

Strong partnership To the editor: It has long been said that a public library serves as a “school outside of the school” – an extension for learning after the school bell rings at the close of the day, a place where students and adults can open their minds up to the world of new thoughts and ideas and dreams – a People’s University. What better way to express such an important partnership between schools and libraries, than with the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library’s existing enhancement project at Oregon Branch Library. The Dustin Road project, which closed Oregon Branch last August (2014), served as the perfect opportunity to call upon Oregon City School officials for assistance. Before renovations started, library officials pondered, “how would loyal Oregon residents and other customers receive library services during a construction project which would close the branch?” The Oregon City Schools collaborated with the Library to allow the Lucas County system to utilize the Wynn Center on Bay Shore Road as a temporary location for library services. For nearly a year, the Oregon City Schools’ Wynn Center has served the

Request for support To the editor: In response to the article in The Press July 13, “Late sexton’s sick pay divides Lake Twp. Trustees,” I have tried to do the right think in the simplest way for my son, Daniel Sprinski, Jr., and his family to receive his accumulated sick leave, which is 435.25 hours remaining on his last paycheck, June 2, 2015. I had requested by Ohio Revised Code for half of his accumulated sick leave be paid to his surviving spouse and family. Danny, his family and I are very private. It is with a heavy heart and sad-

ness that I must ask the people of Lake Township to come to the next trustees meeting July 21 at 5:30 p.m. at the township building and voice their support for him. Call and ask trustees Melanie Bowen and Jeff Pettit why they were so against seconding resolution 75-15. Linda Crews Walbridge Editor’s note: A resolution proposed by Trustee Richard Welling asked for 240 hours of accumulated sick pay for Dan Sprinski to be paid to his widow.

Shame, shame To the editor: The Lake Township Trustees should be ashamed of themselves for not agreeing to pay at least a good percentage of Dan Sprinski’s accrued sick time. According to the article in The Press, this man did not misuse his sick time over all the years that he was employed. From personal experience, he was a kind and

57% No 43% Yes professional employee of the township and went out of his way to be helpful. If I understand the article, some of the trustees are saying that a written policy is required to pay his family. Yet, nowhere in the article did I see that a policy was going to be made. One trustee said that she did not feel taxpayer funds can be used without a written policy. Are there written policies for all tax monies in Lake Township? Wouldn’t this sick time have already been built into the budget? Now is the time to get a written policy in place for this family and any other employees that would have such a loss.

Monitor your thoughts constantly in order to detect any excuses creeping in.

“

Discovering reasons to succeed or making excuses to fail. Which category are you in? Finding excuses for failure is much more prevalent than formulating reasons for success. We learn by examples to look for flaws in virtually every dream. Even before someone attempts to achieve a goal, you will hear all types of excuses as to why it probably won’t work even if it is tried. Then, when the predicted failure becomes reality, the person will exclaim, “I knew it wouldn’t work and I was right.” Not only do excuses serve no purpose, they are detrimental. Excuses justify failure as an acceptable outcome. Excuses provide cover for giving up. When you point to an excuse to explain failure, you are abdicating responsibility for your actions. Failure is only certain when you give up. Yet, a common excuse used when giving up is, “Well, at least I tried.” It doesn’t matter how hard you tried, when you give up, you have failed. Make a list of all the excuses you currently use or have used in the past. It’s probably longer than you realized. Excuses become so engrained that you are not aware when they are used. Excuses are so habitual that their use is automatic. I can’t, I won’t, I don’t know how, It’s too expensive, I don’t know the right people, I’m too old, I’m too young, I’ll be laughed at, people won’t like me, what if I fail, and I don’t know where to start, are just some of the limitless excuses used on a regular basis. Excuses for failure are eliminated by replacing them with reasons to succeed. Just one reason advocating success displaces all excuses. This happens because success always outweighs failure. Yet despite this fact, the inevitable tendency is a clear bias toward making excuses. Excuses emanate from your own doubts, worries, and insecurities. Even though you may be willing to try, you don’t really believe success is possible. But if you can avoid trying, you erroneously conclude you will therefore avoid any chance of failure. In reality, excuses give you a false sense of security. Excuses may also be a result of pres-

accrue once each goal is achieved. Be specific. For example, if accomplishing a goal will make you happy, detail how and why it will do so. The more benefits you pinpoint, the easier it is to find reasons to succeed. Monitor your thoughts constantly in order to detect any excuses creeping in. Replace each excuse for failure with a rea-

son to succeed. Don’t allow excuses to burrow into your mind. If you do, they will take up permanent residence. As you continue to concentrate your energy on why you can and should attain your objectives, you make it more and more difficult for excuses to take hold. Before you know it, excuses will have become a long forgotten impediment. Make “no excuses” your motto. The direction of life is forward. Excuses pull you backward, stopping all progress. Next to every goal on your list write “YES I CAN!” NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www.BryanGolden. com or your bookstore.

Kathy Steingraber, chairperson of the township board of trustees, said the car wash wasn’t able to be profitable under the temporary restraining it had in place. She said, “I don’t think they were making any money with their tops on.” Prices for a topless wash were about double the charge than when the women wore tops. A Curtice Road man told The Press coyotes were to blame for his missing tomcat, Barney. Neighbors also suspected coyotes were to blame for their missing pets. At the same time, two mutilated fawns were found in a nearby wood. These reports prompted Jeff Burris, wildlife biologist with the Ohio Division of Wildlife to comment, “If people let their pets out to roam in nature, they’re just as easy prey as something that’s out there naturally.” Nearly 275 marijuana plants valued at $350,000 and 50 firearms were confiscated by Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department during a raid at a Carroll Township home.

Pemberville woman wins ‘ultimate family reunion’ By Tammy Walro Press Features Editor twalro@presspublications.com A Pemberville woman devised the perfect formula for the ultimate family reunion. Barbara Klee, using her “noodle” and the love for her family came up with the winning entry to win $10,000 for a megafamily reunion from Tinybeans, an app designed to make sharing life’s moments with family safe and simple. Klee starting using Tinybeans in June of last year after her nephew, Dan Strawn and his wife Alise had a baby – a little bundle of joy they named Stella. “They live in Denver and we couldn’t see the baby in person,” Klee said. “Alise began using Tinybeans to share pictures and short videos of Stella.” The app and website, which are free, enable parents to add photos and videos and share milestones and text moments to their family Tinybeans Journal to create an ongoing record of their child’s development. Invited family and friends that follow the journal receive email updates and push notifications when moments are uploaded. According to a company spokesperson, more than 700,000 families around the globe are using Tinybeans to securely share their precious moments with loved ones near and far. “We have a big family and they invited us to join,” she said. “They’re new parents, so, of course, there were millions of pictures and updates. “Between me and my sister, who lives in Grand Rapids, we were able to show our parents, who are aren’t online, regular updates on the baby,” she said. “Being so far away, it was very cool to be able to watch Stella’s progress, to be able to feel like we know her.” Late last fall, Klee opened her Tinybeans feed, expecting a new photo of Stella, but finding instead a notice about a contest the company was sponsoring for the Ultimate Family Reunion. She glanced at it quickly and discarded it. A couple of weeks later, on Dec. 13, her husband was attending an out-of-town wedding for the weekend. Home alone, she retreated to bed early with a can of Pringles and a pop, taking her iPad with plans to watch Netflix. When the Tinybeans feed popped up, she found a notice that just 48 hours remained to enter the Ultimate Family Reunion Contest. “I thought, what the heck, I’ll enter,” she said. “Once I started writing about why I wanted to get my family together, I couldn’t stop. I was like Hemingway.” When she was done, she hit “send” and then was prompted to read the terms and conditions for entering – which, to her dismay, specified entries must be 25 words or less. Pondering how she could convey her desire for her large family to be able to get together, she came up with what would ultimately be the winning equation.

Tinybeans Ultimate Family Reunion winner Barb Klee. (Photo by Ric Pierpont) After hitting backspace many, many times to start her entry over she wrote: 27 great-grandchildren +17 grandchildren +15 spouses +5 children +5 spouses +2 parents equals 71 reasons to come together and share! This time the entry went through. Two days later, to her surprise, she received a notification that she had won the contest – $10,000 to be used toward “the ultimate family reunion.” “I told my husband, ‘I think I won a major prize’ – like the father in the ‘A Christmas Story,’” she said. “He said, yeah, yeah.’” Impatient for her husband, a retired attorney, to read the notification before she told anyone, she printed it and looked over it herself. “It was pretty straightforward – I just had to agree to be photographed.” She

had a month to plan the get-together. “My first call was to my parents,” she said. “Then I started calling everybody else and instantly, everyone said they would come. I could have gone anywhere. But my mom doesn’t like to travel that much, so I knew it couldn’t be too far away.” After doing some research, Klee chose to rent the UAW Black Lake Conference Center in Onaway, Michigan, not too far from the family’s cottage. “The Conference Center has a vintage lodge built in 1932 on 1,000 acres on this awesome lake – it’s where Lucy and Desi spent their honeymoon – it’s where I wanted to be,” she said. Over the July 4 weekend, great-grandparents Evie and Clarence Brahier, had the pleasure of seeing most all of their family together. (A few family members were unable

to make the trip.) Previously, they had only met a few of their 27 great-grandchildren. Four generations of family members from Washington state, Idaho, Virginia, Colorado, Michigan and Ohio gathered to reacquaint or meet for the first time and create memories. Throughout the weekend they bonded over meals shared and fun activities including a variety of relay games, bingo, cards, and board games, swimming and floating on the lake on a pontoon boat. “There were also rides around the Conference Center on an old farm wagon drawn by two horses, which everyone enjoyed,” Klee said. There were quiet walks, raucous laughter. There was also a baby shower for Barb’s daughter-in-law, Kristy. And baby Stella took the opportunity to take her very first steps surrounded by her adoring family members. “It’s been the best thing that has happened to us in many, many years,” Evie and Clarence agreed. “We are thrilled that everyone made it here. It is so fun to see all of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren and is amazing to think that we started all of this.” “We’ve never had a family reunion – the last time we all got together was my parents 50th wedding anniversary and they’ve been married 67 years,” Klee said. “A lot happens in 17 years.” “Three of us sisters see each other at least once a year (two of us live close to each other), but my eldest sister hasn’t visited in about 12 years,” she said. “Our main group has only seen her children a few times in their lives and we have never seen their children. Many of the cousins have never met. To be able to bring so many together was so very special. What a gift.”

Husband reproduced ‘anything his wife could see’ By Mary Ann Wasserman Special to The Press news@presspublications.com Betty Dobrosky and her husband, Tom, are both drawn like a beacon to lighthouses – a passion that’s evident, as the couple’s Millbury home is awash with a nautical theme. Ship planking flanks the walls and ceilings. A hearth is made from round stone which is plentiful along Michigan’s lakeshores. A boat wheel, bell and hatchet for an emergency at sea add to the hearth’s décor. One particular day, Tom and Betty visited a Port Clinton gift shop, where Tom inquired as to how much an entire display of lighthouses would cost. The shopkeeper quoted him a price. The couple purchased the lot. “We had about 40 of them – all on display in our residence – which got to be too many and we had to quit collecting,” Betty said. So Tom moved to the outside where there was more space. He began by sprucing up the front and back yards with trees, flowers and, eventually, a wooden deck at the rear of the house. Then, he tweaked the lawn with several of his beloved towers. Tom, who had studied the Cape Hatteras lighthouse in North Carolina. Noted the first 90 feet construction was completed in 1803 – the same year Ohio was admitted to the United States. “He built a replica of Hatteras close to our front door,” Betty said. “He had constructed a wood frame, and then made stone on the outside by applying wet stucco.” The craftsman added details such as a working electric light and brass fittings and candy-striped the roughly eight-foot structure in a classic black and white. Next, across a sidewalk to the front yard, he constructed a replica of what’s known as the Great Lighthouse of Virginia Beach. There are two lighthouses at Cape Henry, Virginia Beach. The first is a square black and white geometric tower which was constructed in 1792. The project was authorized by George Washington and overseen by Alexander Hamilton. “Tom built the Great Lighthouse pretty much the same way as the Cape Hatteras structure,” Betty said. “He started with a wooden frame.” To mimic a geometric black and white design, he used uniform wood squares which he then painted–alternately-black and white. He added details such as brass fittings to the lawn ornament. On a subsequent road trip to Port Clinton, the Millbury spotted a large anchor, sure to add to their nautical décor, for sale. “It was so expensive,” Betty said. “Tom

‘Dream travelers’

Millbury resident Betty Dobrosky, with the lighthouse made by her late husband Tom for their nautical-themed yard. (Photo by Mary Ann Wasserman) came home, purchased some aluminum and made and painted the anchor for our yard.” Betty also pointed to Tom’s handiwork in creating a nautical theme in the couple’s 12 x 12 foot sunroom, which is designed to resemble an inverted boat hull. Tom installed curved wood braces alluding to a boat’s hull about every two feet. He used concave glass sheets from a glass factory scrap pile as glass partitions and reinforced “bottom.” “We have lived here since 1972 – we lost our house in a flood in 1970 or 1971 at Reno Beach,” said Betty, adding that her husband loved anything to do with ships and water – whether that water was from Lake Erie or the Atlantic or Pacific oceans. “He had a boat as a young child and used to fish when residing with parents in Reno Beach,” she recalled. Between working on his lawn and gathering nautical collectibles, Tom owned B&D Racing. He went the circuit of competition with racing cars, with son Tom at his side with the enterprise. Betty shared her family’s enthusiasm for cars. At one time, the couple tooled

around the area in a yellow 1935 Ford coupe. “ In 2004, when the couple’s son Tom died at the age of 33 in a car accident, Tom used his handiwork to aid Betty in her devastation — and address his own grief — by constructing a “memory boat” coffee table in his honor. Tom aged and softened oak plywood into flexibility by soaking the sheet in water for about 24 hours, then shaped the wood to frame of the boat and allowed it to dry. Items displayed include their son’s hand prints as a grade-school child, molded in clay; bronzed baby shoes and a number of photos which capture happy times in the family’s history. A memory blanket of son Tom’s shirts, made by his wife Michelle, is exhibitednear the center of the table." At Christmas 2013, when her sailor Tom was battling cancer, Betty purchased a kit for a circa 1800s clipper ship. “He completed building the kit in about three or four weeks,” Betty said. “He admitted he was afraid he would pass before completing the model ship.” Tom, 68, passed away in May 2014.

29-year-old Genoa graduate keeps on the gridiron By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Every player on the Toledo Thunder semi-professional football team has his reason for wanting to seek glory on the gridiron one last time. Andrew Hathaway, 29, a 2005 Genoa High School graduate, was a drummer in a local band and just a couple semesters away from getting his degree in music at Owens Community College in 2012 when some friends he played flag football with mentioned the Northwest Ohio Knights. “They were having a tryout,” Hathaway recalled. “I knew nothing about semi-pro around here. I was impressed with how competitive it was. Football has always been my No. 1 passion. I wasn’t too worried about injury issues. The timing was absolutely perfect. I had just gotten out of the music scene and had some more time between school and work. It worked out perfectly.” Hathaway (5-10, 175) played for the Knights for three seasons before moving over to play for the Toledo Thunder this season. He plays cornerback and wide receiver for the Thunder, a program that folded in 1995 but was resurrected this year by owner Brad Fields, a former coach with the Knights. “Three coaches for the Thunder used to play for the Knights, and I strongly believe in their vision how a team should be run,” Hathaway said. “I knew they were going to run a team they way they needed to.” The Thunder and Knights compete in the 24-team Minor League Football Alliance’s Lake Shore Division. The Thunder opened the season May 30, and their last regular-season game is July 25. Hathaway has been a solid addition to the Thunder roster in 2015. He’s returned two of his four interceptions for touchdowns this season. “Andrew always has a smile for you, and the guys love playing with him,” said Thunder coach Erich Donati, a 1990 Maumee High School graduate. “He’s not a rah-rah guy and he doesn’t celebrate too much after an interception. He just acts like he’s been there before. He’s very coachable, a humble guy and a hard-working guy who will give you 110 percent all the time. His play recognition is very good.” The Thunder’s games are televised by BCSN, and they play their home games at different venues to raise money for different charities. All players have to be 18 or older — no player on the Thunder roster is over 35 — and they practice two to three days a week at Woodward High. The undefeated Thunder (6-0) hung on for a 20-17 win over the Battle Creek Coyotes on July 11 at the University of Toledo Glass Bowl. They have outscored their six opponents by a 199-36 margin.

The Toledo Thunder huddles with coaches after a game. (Photo by Mark Harvey) “We played at Central Catholic for the Catholic Charities Foundation and at Woodward for the Toledo firefighters,” Donati said. “We’re a non-profit organization. Everything that doesn’t go to team costs goes directly to charities. We don’t make any money. We have done a lot of things as far as feeding the homeless and all kinds of pretty nice things to help the community.”

Hathaway said one reason he loves playing for Thunder is because of the level of competition. “It forces you to step up your game and be a better player at all times,” he said. “I just love the competition. Our team has probably 12 to 15 ex-college players, and Erich is very open-minded and genuinely cares about the players. He just knows how to run a football team.”

Aaron Manders, a receiver for the Toledo Thunder semiprofessional football team, should be a familiar name to Cardinal Stritch fans. Manders, 24, is entering his third season as the receivers/defensive backs coach and special teams coordinator under Stritch head coach Brian Wical. Manders (6-2, 210) was a second-team All-Toledo Area Athletic Conference receiver and honorable mention linebacker as a senior at Stritch in 2009. Manders played college ball as a receiver, H-back and tight end at BaldwinWallace from 2009-12, and he earned his accounting degree. Manders played for the Northwest Ohio Knights the past two years, but he now plays receiver for the Thunder. Last week, he scored what proved to be the game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter against Battle Creek. “I get the chance to continue to play the game I fell in love with when I was a kid,” Manders said. “I originally started playing football because my (three) older brothers played at Stritch and my dad (Mike) coached football. I was drawn to it, and it’s such a part of me that I don’t know what life would be like without it.” Manders scored a TD on a 49-yard pass against the Miami County (Ind.) Blitz, and on a 3-yard slant against the Knights. “That was very satisfying,” he said. Donati said coaching Manders is “a dream come true.” “He’s a hard-core, workman-like receiver,” Donati said. “He’s not the fastest guy, but he runs some of the cleanest routes I’ve ever seen. You can see he paid attention at Baldwin-Wallace. He’s not afraid to go over the middle, and he catches everything you throw at him.” Manders compared the overall talent level on the Thunder to a good Division III college program. “There are a lot of guys, especially on our team, who do have college experience and guys who have had an opportunity to play arena football,” he said. “You have the occasional week where you play a team that doesn’t have the best organization or scheme. All in all, week to week, we have to prepare like we’re playing a good team, because there are some good athletes and good competition.” Hathaway and Manders both said the players’ goal is to show local football fans that minor league football is the real deal. “It had developed a bad reputation for fighting, for barnyard-style football,” Hathaway said. “Our whole goal is to turn that around and make it serious and something that can be respected. If people are looking for a good show, we have some starters from Bowling Green, the University of Toledo, Baldwin-Wallace. We have some real athletes out here.”

Holy Toledo! A’s Bassitt king for a day in Cleveland The second-largest crowd of the season was in Progressive Field to watch the Oakland A’s and the Cleveland Indians and some post-game fireworks. Through it all, one voice stood out for Oakland starting pitcher Chris Bassitt, a Curtice native and Genoa High School graduated. He estimated that he had 50-75 family and friends from the Toledo area in the crowd. “I could hear my mom (Dawn),’’ Bassitt said. “I don’t know why. Everyone else was just noise.’’ Bassitt is making some noise of his own. He’s made three starts in the last two weeks as a fill-in for injured pitchers, subbing for Jesse Hahn Saturday night after back-to-back starts when Sonny Gray wasn’t able to pitch. He’s pitched five, 5.2 and 6.1 innings in those starts and while he doesn’t have a win in any of them, his 2.64 ERA suggests he’s pitching pretty well. On Saturday, he shook off the local ties – his Toledo home is a two-hour drive from Cleveland – to throw 6.2 innings, his longest start yet. “Chris was outstanding,’’ catcher Stephen Vogt said. “He struggled a little bit with his command at times, but he really didn’t have a blemish.’’ Manager Bob Melvin and general manager Billy Beane came into the spring believing Bassitt would compete for a job in the starting rotation. It didn’t happen during spring training, but it’s happening now. With every start Bassitt makes going five or more innings and giving the A’s a chance to win, he’s making it that much more difficult to send him back down again when Hahn comes off the disabled list after the All-Star break. “He had a great mix today,’’ Melvin said. “He seems to get more comfortable with using all his pitches. He was more of a fastball guy early on. Tonight he used all his pitches, changeup, slider, curve ball. When you have his kind of velocity, it gives you a little bit of a gap to speed guys up and slow them down.’’ Bassitt said that other than his Major League debut, Saturday was a “surreal’’ experience. “I was a little more amped than usual

Northwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rohrs has baseball career on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;speed dialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

He was a kid that was not given all the gifts that some others had, but he busted his butt to achieve his goals.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

By the spring of 2017, Justin Rohrs will have completed his college baseball career at two schools whose names are probably completely foreign to fans in Northwest Ohio. Rohrs, 20, a four-year letterman in baseball and football at Northwood, played first base for Muscatine (Iowa) Community College the past two seasons. Muscatine is a member of the 16-team Iowa Community College Athletic Conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother went to Muscatine in 1995 and my dad (Rob) remembered it,â&#x20AC;? Justin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He sent them my information and they called me. They looked at me and (teammate) Nick Russell. I went down there for a visit in July. It was good money, a great league, a decent distance away from home. I met a bunch of people, from Canada, Venezuela, Columbia, Puerto Rico, Arizona, Miami.â&#x20AC;? As a freshman Rohrs competed in 19 games and batted .107 (3-for-28) with four runs, two RBI, five walks and 17 strikeouts. His numbers improved last season, when he played in 29 games and hit .205 with six runs, four RBI, one home run and 15 walks, with 19 strikeouts in 39 plate appearances. His on-base percentage (.446) was the highest on the team. Rohrs said as a freshman he still didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if he wanted to play college baseball or football â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he was a third-team All-Ohio lineman at Northwood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and playing in the ICCAC was nothing like playing in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was super hard,â&#x20AC;? Rohrs said of his freshman year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a Division I JUCO school, and in our league Indian Hills was ranked 17th in the nation and Iowa Western has won the national championships three out of the last four years. Muscatine was an above average team in the league. I know 10 people got drafted out of that league. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went from the TAAC, thinking an 83 mph fastball was fast, to where 89 mph was the average fastball (in the ICCAC). My stats didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show it, but I felt like I improved a

Muscatine Community College (Iowa) first baseman Justin Rohrs (Northwood). (Photo courtesy Muscatine Journal) bunch in that league. It took a while to get used to. Going from Northwood, where I batted .400, to batting .107, my confidence went away. Sophomore year, I got back in a a groove again and it got a lot better.â&#x20AC;? Rohrs said he returned to the team more focused and in better shape for the start of fall ball last year. The 6-foot-2 Rohrs dropped his weight from 275 pounds to 220. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely came back and worked harder than ever baseball-wise,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was definitely a transformation. Freshman year I kind of still wanted to play football. After I came back in the summer, I knew I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to play football. I thought it was time to get in baseball shape.â&#x20AC;?

No surprise here That dedication doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprise former Northwood baseball coach John Segura, who coached Rohrs from age 10 through high school. Segura, now the coach at Waite, said Rohrs is one of the hardestworking athletes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever seen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He never missed a day of workouts,â&#x20AC;? Segura said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a kid that was not given all the gifts that some others had, but he busted his butt to achieve his goals. Justin is a mature young man who is respectful to everyone he meets. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough great things about him. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take summers off when it comes to training. A lot of mornings you (would) find him at the gym at 6 a.m.â&#x20AC;? Rohrs will take the field for another small school this fall. He will play for Calumet College of St. Joseph, located in Whiting, Ind., 30 minutes from downtown Chicago. The Crimson Wave, under fourthyear coach Brian Nowakowski, are an NAIA program. Calumet College competes in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference, which recently regained its status as the largest NAIA conference (15 teams) in the nation. Rohrs said his roommate at Muscatine, Sebastian Caballero, a third baseman from Miami, talked to a player at Calumet, who told Caballero and Rohrs to give Nowakowski a call. Nowakowski told Rohrs he was looking for a first baseman, and Rohrs went for a visit along with Caballero and Muscatine teammate Paul Burkhardt, a left-hander from Madison, Wis.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to go to the school and move near the big city,â&#x20AC;? Rohrs said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it was nice to know that two of my teammates from Iowa were going with me so we could maintain that friendship. We went there and (Nowakowski) gave us a tour of the school and showed us the fields and the housing. There was downtown Chicago, local restaurants and things like that. He talked to us individually and offered us (scholarships).â&#x20AC;? Rohrs said it was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;big load off my mindâ&#x20AC;? to commit to Calumet with two of his Muscatine teammates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to go with one of my best friends from community college to play on a beautiful field (Oil City Stadium) in a beautiful city,â&#x20AC;? Rohrs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hard to figure out. Sebastian said he was going to give Calumet a shot, and when he went for a visit, he fell in love with it. So did I.â&#x20AC;? Nowakowski, who played in the Minnesota Twinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minor league system for two years, said Rohrsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; batting average at Muscatine doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scare him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got good size, and I like his ability to hit with power,â&#x20AC;? Nowakowski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We play at a field where the wind blows out a lot on Lake Michigan, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for him to provide some power and drive in some runs for us. Just because he hit .205 last year doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work with him and have him succeed at our school. I know his size and I know I can work with him on his average.â&#x20AC;? Calumet College finished 14-30 and 11-19 in the CCAC last season. The 2016 season starts Feb. 5 and the regular season ends May 1. Rohrs, who will be a junior this fall, is a caddy at the Inverness Club this summer but he hopes to get an internship at OwensIllinois next summer. He is a business finance major at Calumet College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I chose business because there are a lot of things you can go with,â&#x20AC;? Rohrs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I like the Owens thing, the internship, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see what happens. If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I could work for in Whiting or in Chicago and I can work my way up to making really good money, I would stay there and do that. I want to make sure I have a decent job when I come out, to pay off those student loans and have my own apartment.â&#x20AC;?

Owensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Aricka LaVoy, Abby Groll get national recognition By Nicholas Huenefeld Owens Sports Information nicholas_huenefeld@owens.edu Owens Community College had eight student-athletes earn academic honors as the National Junior College Athletic Association Academic Student-Athlete Awards were announced yesterday. Owens had two student-athletes earn Superior Academic Achievement honors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; volleyballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aricka LaVoy (Eastwood) and softballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lexi Williams (Swanton). In addition, six others earned Exemplary Academic Achievement honors including softballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lesley Ducat (Evergreen), womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Abby Groll (Clay), golfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dru Hein (Jasper, Ind.), softballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Haley Kreger (Bedford, Mich.), baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marcus Rozsa (All Saints Secondary/ Whitby, Ontario) and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Austin Somerfield (Greenville, Mich.) Since 2001, Owens has now had 81 student-athletes earn NJCAA Academic Awards. This is the fourth straight year an

Owens baseball student-athlete has earned academic honors from the NJCAA, and Somerfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selection marks the first Owens menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball player to earn honors since Cal Edwards in 2010-11. Groll becomes the first NJCAA Academic Award recipient in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer, although Kreger played two seasons with the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team prior to playing softball this year. This year saw a record 1,936 studentathletes from 324 NJCAA member colleges earn national academic honors, which works out to an average of just under six per school. Therefore, Owens is about two student-athletes above the national average. In the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference, Owens led all schools with eight selections. Furthermore, they had eight of the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20 total student-athletes honored by the NJCAA. The Pinnacle Award for Academic Excellence was presented to a record 185 student-athletes that earned a 4.0 gradepoint average. There were 741 qualifiers for the Superior Academic Achievement Award, while 1,110 individuals claimed the

Owens coaches â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Staff of the Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The National Fastpitch Coaches Association has named the Owens softball coaching staff the 2015 East Region Coaching Staff of the Year. The trio of head coach Marcus Smith, along with assistants Carly Hewitt and Anita Williams, were one of three coaching staffs in the nation to earn the honors along with Phoenix (Ariz.) College and Kankakee

(Ill.) Community College. Playing for Owens were freshman third basemen Cassidy Rolf (Eastwood) and Katelyn Jensen (Genoa). Following a 4-9 start to the season thanks to a tough spring trip schedule in Florida, Owens won 11 of its next 12 games. The team carried the momentum to an OCCAC championship. In the postseason, the team breezed through the competition in the Region XII District I tournament to earn the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-ever berth in the NJCAA Division II National Tournament. At nationals, Owens fell to No. 2 Mississippi Gulf Coast before defeating No. 10 Sauk Valley 22-18 in a thrilling elimination game. After the long battle against Sauk Valley, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season ended with a loss to No. 1 Phoenix College. Owens finished 32-18 overall and 10-2 in OCCAC play. Phoenix College, which finished 5312, earned South Region Staff of the Year honors, while NJCAA Division II national champion Kankakee (45-6) was named the NFCA NJCAA Division II National Coaching Staff of the Year, while also earning NFCA Midwest Region Staff of the Year honors.

Fight weeds, bugs & plant diseases By J.K. DePeal Garden Writer news@presspublications.com What a very, very wet season we are having! Fortunately, most of our plants are weathering the moist conditions but our flowers, vegetables, shrubs, and trees are still being affected by the plant diseases, insect invasions, and garden varmint raiders that normally hit this time of year. Every garden or flower bed at one time or another has plant diseases, bugs, poor soil, critter attacks, etc. and the battle is ongoing in dealing with them. Luckily, we also all have common household and everyday materials that we can use to fight back. So, now that your flowers and vegetables are planted and growing, make up your own remedies for fighting the weeds, bugs, diseases and anything else that threatens your blooms, shrubs, trees and vegetables. Get rid of weeds and harmful insects • A very effective weed killer can be made by mixing together 1 gallon of white vinegar, 1 c. of table salt, and 1 tbsp. of liquid dish soap. Place in a spray bottle and spray directly on tough weeds. Re-spray after a few days if new growth emerges. • To trap earwigs, set out a shallow saucer (a margarine or whipped topping tub lid) and fill it with vegetable oil. Earwigs will crawl in and be trapped in the oil. • An all-purpose insect repellant can be made from 6 cloves of garlic (chopped fine), one onion (chopped fine), 1 tbsp. cayenne pepper, 1 tbsp. liquid dish soap, and 1 quart water. Mix all together and let set overnight. Strain the mix and pour the liquid into a spray bottle. Apply to infected plants. This one is especially effective against insects that attack your vegetable garden. • Creeping weeds can be destroyed by spraying them with a mix of 5 tsps. Borax and 1 qt. of water. • White vinegar is a very effective weed killer. Pour it directly on weeds but avoid getting it on any desired plants. • Tough weeds can be destroyed with a mix of 1 tbsp. of vinegar, 1 tsp. of liquid dish soap, 1 tbsp. of gin and I qt. of warm water. Mix all together and pour the solution into a spray bottle. Apply it directly to the weeds. • To repel aphids, mix 2 c. of water with 4 tsp. of lemon juice and pour into a spray bottle. Spray the solution on plants infested with aphids. • An effective Japanese beetle solution can be made by mixing 2 tbsp. garlic pow-

Ottawa Co. Fair features chainsaw carvings, mud run By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com The Ottawa County Fair is quite a unique event. It’s one that works to honor the past while bringing in new acts and shows to help spur creativity relate to a new generation while honoring the fair’s roots — agriculture, livestock, good food and camaraderie. This year, the fair, which begins on Monday, July 20, features a number of special events, notably the harness races, the hog-calling contest, a cornhole tournament, chainsaw-carving demonstrations, musical acts and an obstacle course, among other things. It should be noted that the harness races have been extended to two days and the hog-calling contest will include celebrity judge Jon Peters, a.k.a. Big Nut, one of Ohio State’s most famous fans, who was brought to the event by the Ace of Clubs, a 4-H organization. There is a new event, the calf scramble, which takes place at 8 p.m. on Thursday. Thursday is an interesting day, one that includes a science demonstration (3 p.m.), a cardio drumming class (5 p.m.) and the chain-saw carvings, which occur from 6:30 at night until dusk. The harness races were also extended for another day and will go back to being held for two days, plus there’s a calf scramble that was added to the itinerary and, as usual, the fair will offer the demolition derby and the tractor pull. In addition to providing local residents and tourists with plenty of entertainment options, the annual event, which celebrat-

ed 50 years last summer, has helped this agricultural community to sustain its identity. Rollin Hetrick, an Oak Harbor native, talked about what the event does for the area, whether it be bringing in money to the area, providing entertainment or bringing the community together. “I love this (experience), having fun and watching people smile,” he said. “I think we’ve got the best junior fair around. A lot of us go all-out to have a great fair for these kids. (The fair) is very important to get the tourism so we can get the money to come in for the area. Like everybody else, I like the fair food. I really enjoy the food and seeing the kids enjoy themselves.” The event also gives younger people a chance to gain a greater appreciation for the agriculture and livestock that are such an important part of our economy. “The fair was really agricultural-based when we started,” Hetrick said. “We have very few livestock farms than we used to have (and) the children are wanting to take care of the animals and learn about that is important. There’s nothing like growing up in this kind of community with the values and morals we have. I learned a lot at the fair, and I want these kids to have that community.” For Hetrick, one of the most exciting things the fair has to offer is Dennis Beach’s work. The chain-saw carver, who is based out of eastern Pennsylvania, has become a hit in recent years because of the exquisite sculptures he has created out of wood with his chainsaw. “He’s amazing, he does all kinds of stuff. If someone has a request, he’ll try for them,” Hetrick said. “He’s a hell of a good guy; I said to him, ‘How do you come up

with these ideas.’ It’s amazing how he’s able to start with a chainsaw and whittle down the wood to the final piece. If he’s not the best, he’s one of the best.” Down-and-dirty fun Visitors to the fair will also have the opportunity to check out the Black Swamp Fair Challenge Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Grandstands. The challenge will feature four to five teams of four to six people per team navigating a series of relay challenges such as tackling a scaled down obstacle course, a tug-of-war over the Black Swamp Mud pit, a cargo net climb relay and more in an effort to score the most points. Area businesses are encouraged to form teams. Contact the fairgrounds to sign up. Spectators can watch the down-anddirty fun and cheer on their favorite competitors. The event is sponsored by Black Swamp Runner, a mud/obstacle run course located at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds. Owners Troy and Sandy Anthony will have a booth at the fair providing information about the Black Swamp Mud Obstacle Course and two upcoming events planned for this year – the Moonlight Mud Run set for Aug. 22 and the Night of the Dead Run on Oct. 3. During the three-mile Moonlight Mud Run, participants can run, jog or walk through the mud/obstacle course, which will be lit in various ways, from concert laser lights shows to glow sticks. The Night of the Dead Run will provide a spooky, scary and haunted experience. For more information about either events or to register, visit www.blackswamprunner.com.

Mix all together and pour into a spray bottle. Saturate infected plants from top to bottom and don’t miss the undersides of the leaves. • A rhubarb repellent that will deter most any insect can be made by this solution. Chop 3 medium sized rhubarb leaves into 1 gal. of water and bring to a boil. Let this cool and strain through a cheesecloth to remove the solid pieces. Mix in 1/4 c. of liquid dish soap. Pour this into a spray bottle and apply to harmful insects on your plants. (Do not use this spray on edible plants as the rhubarb is toxic). Treat plant diseases and plant care • Sprinkle ground cinnamon around plants in moist, shady areas and around peonies in sunny areas. It will fight mold and mildews. • To fight fungal diseases on plants, dissolve 1 c. of molasses in 1 gallon of water. Spray this on infected plants. Another mix to try is 3 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar and 1 gallon of water. Pour this into a spray bottle and mist on plant leaves. • Protect against plant virus attacks by using this solution: put 2 c. of green pepper leaves with 1 c. of water in a blender and liquefy. Add 1 more c. of water and ½ tsp. liquid dish soap to the blend. Pour all into a spray bottle and coat plant leaves. • Get rid of powdery mildew on plants with a mix of 1 gal. of water, 3 tbsp. baking soda, and 1 tbsp. Murphy’s Oil Soap. Pour into a spray bottle and mist on infected leaves. • Sprinkle non-fat dry milk in the hole before planting tomato transplants. The milk powder will prevent blight, blossomend rot, and other tomato diseases. • Another mix that will pep-up tomato health is 3 c. compost, 1/2 c. Epsom salts, 1 tsp. baking soda, and 1/2 c. non-fat dry milk. Combine all together and sprinkle around the base of the tomato plant throughout the growing season. • Fight black spot disease on your roses with a mix of 10 tomato leaves, ½ c. rubbing alcohol, and 1 onion, finely chopped. Chop the tomato leaves into fine pieces and combine with the alcohol and onion. Remove any diseased leaves from the bush and with a foam paintbrush apply the mix to the entire bush including the undersides of the leaves. • A mix of 1 tbsp. of Epsom salts in 1 gal. of water can be sprayed on plants and the soil around plants to boost their resistance to plant diseases of any kind. • Keep vegetable plants healthy and robust with a dose of this elixir once every 3 weeks: combine 1/2 c. of molasses, 1 c. of ammonia, 1 can of beer, ½ c. of liquid dish soap, and ½ c. of liquid lawn food. Mix together in a garden bucket and pour the mix into a hose end sprayer. Spray vegetable plants to the point of run off. • Grow big, strong and healthy roses with this rose miracle solution. Mix together 1 can of beer, 2 tsp. instant tea granules, 1 tsp. rose/flower food, 1 tsp. fish emulsion, 1 tsp. liquid dish soap, and 2 gal. of warm water.

Children to present musical “The Sound of Music” will be presented by Oregon Community Theatre’s Children’s Theatre on Thursday, Friday and Saturday July 23, 24, and 25 at 7 p.m. and Sunday July 26 at 3 p.m. at Fassett Auditorium, 3025 Starr Ave., Oregon. The production, which features music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, is produced by David Henninger and directed by Beth Giller. The musical tells the story of Maria, a postulant who proves too high-spirited for the religious life and is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval captain. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern captain, and they marry. Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain’s immediate service in their navy. The family’s narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in theatre. The motion picture version remains the most popular movie musical of all time. In this adaptation for pre-high school students, the content has been edited to better suit younger attention spans, but all the elements that make this show a classic are still in place. The production features more than 75 children involved. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors. For more information, visit oregoncommunitytheatre.org or call 419-691-1398 for tickets. Tickets are also available at the door. All shows are general seating.

David J. Ondrus 4/7/1953 ~ 7/24/2010

Congratulations Dr. James Bomer, MD

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly. In death we do the same.

Jim Bomer, a 2004 graduate of Clay High School, recently completed a three year medical residency program in Family Medicine at WW Knight Family Medicine Center in Toledo, Ohio. Dr. Bomer began working at the Family Practice of Toledo on July 1, 2015. Jim graduated from The University of Toledo in 2008 with a B.S. in Biology and a B.A. in Chemistry, and from UTMC in 2012 with an M.D. Congratulations â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Shimmy!â&#x20AC;? We are very proud of you!! Love, Your Family

It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Always in my prayers, Love, Mom

Trixie is a fantastic catch! She is athletic, intelligent, affectionate, and extremely friendly. Trixie cannot get enough of people, she would run around and socialize all day if she could. She's also one of the most dog friendly dogs you'll find on this side of town! In fact, she is often used as a "greeter" to meet and introduce new dogs into the playgroups. She has been patiently waiting at the shelter for several months to find a home. She came into the Lucas County Canine Care & Control as a stray and she along with 50+ other lovable canines are all looking to share their love with a new family. Come meet them today at 410 S Erie St Toledo, 419-213-2800, open MonFri 11-7, Sat & Sun 11-5. Share the love and adopt a shelter dog today!
