Ottawa County

Water man is another double dipper By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press The regional water system superintendent in Ottawa County is the latest official to join the list of double dippers in the county. The county commissioners voted unanimously July 17 to accept the retirement of Ron Wetzel and then approve his rehire as of Aug. 1, 2014. Under his new terms, Wetzel will be paid $80,558 a year and retain his health benefits, earning 4.6 hours of sick leave every two weeks and accrue 7.7 hours of vacation time over each two-week period, according to commissioners’ records. Wetzel, who has been with county about 15 years, oversees operations at the county’s regional water plant located off Fremont Road just outside Port Clinton’s corporation limits. The system serves residents and businesses from eastern Port Clinton to Oak Harbor. The county publicized Wetzel’s intention to retire and be rehired and held a discussion July 8 in commissioners’ chambers. There were no objections at that hearing unlike two years ago when Wetzel’s bosses, Sanitary Engineer Kelly Frey and office administrator Gino Monaco, were on the path

Ron could have easily retired and found another job somewhere in no time.

Oregon council in August will consider a proposed ordinance that would approve tax abatements for Oregon Holdings Six LLC, which is developing a new manufacturing facility in the city. The tax abatements are part of the Community Reinvestment Area program established by the state. If approved by council, Oregon Holdings Six LLC would enter into a Community Reinvestment Area Agreement with the city. The agreement would provide for a new building for a manufacturing facility through an entity affiliated with the company, to be owned by the company and constructed and located in the Community Reinvestment Area. The company would receive a tax exemption for 10 years for 100 percent of the real property improvements as a result of the project. As part of the agreement, the company will pay the Oregon City Schools District an amount that equals or exceeds 50 percent of the amount of taxes that would have been paid had the property not been exempted from taxes. Ed Harmon, who heads Oregon Holdings Six LLC, said he has worked in the city for the last 12 years. “We started with the first project on Spartan Drive. If I want a building built quickly and on time, I have only one place to build, and that is in Oregon, Ohio,” said Harmon at a council meeting last Monday. “At this time, we have, between Toledo and Oregon, about 1 million square feet of industrial space,” he said. “Particularly in Oregon, we have two projects that are going on.” One of the projects is an addition to Rieter Automotive, a subsidiary of Swissbased Autoneum, according to Harmon. “This particular project is 40,000 square feet.”

to double dipping – that is retiring and collecting a pension while also returning to serve in their previous jobs with an annual salary at the same time. A local businessman was very vocal that the practice needed to be stopped but commissioners still approved those requests. Wetzel oversees a staff of five at the plant that offers service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. His experience and his high-level certification were key reasons for honoring the request and keeping him on staff, Commissioner Jim Sass said. “Ron is one of the few Class 4 opera-

tors in the state. That plant requires a Class 4 operator to be in place,” he explained. “Ron could have easily retired and found another job somewhere in no time. And we would have spent time looking for someone and could have easily had to pay another $20,000 to $30,000 more for a qualified person.” Couple that with his familiarity with the plant as well as the local environmental issues such as the algae blooms that have plagued Lake Erie waters for a number of years and the rehiring is justified, Sass added. The source of the plant’s water is a submerged intake in Lake Erie. The plant under Wetzel’s care is among those voluntarily testing for microcystin, a toxin in microcytis, the lake’s most harmful type of blue-green algae. The blooms are borne out of high levels of phosphorous caused by runoff from things such as agricultural fertilizer, manure and septic systems. Blooms typically return in mid to late July and last weeks. A high-level of the toxin forced Carroll Township to put its residents on alert last September. Residents quit drinking the water for two days and the township distributed bottled water until safe levels of water returned.

Crosswalk signs added By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press New bright neon signs promoting pedestrian safety popped up on the main street of Oak Harbor this week. And motorists likely took a double take as their vehicles passed the four-foot signs posted along the center line of Water Street near the Portage District Fire Station and a block down from the State Route 19 intersection. The signs emphasize that it’s state law to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks. The white crosswalk striping - which has faded over the years as traffic treads over its path - will get a fresh coat of paint in weeks to come, Village Administrator Randy Genzman said. The signs are a direct result of complaints received regarding walker safety in both areas. One of the most vocal has been resident Dennis Schiets, Benton Street. The retired long-haul trucker has appeared at a number of spring and summer council meetings to comment on the plight of walkers in the downtown crosswalks. He’s also complained about the traffic tie-ups and blocked entrances occurring when a train passes through town. It’s been his experience in other towns across that nation, that the village has the right to demand motorists not block those entrance/exit areas near the railroad tracks. He said he has seen signs posted in other communities and that motorists can be fined for continuing the practice. Village officials are reviewing whether such action is legal here, Genzman said. In the meantime, they’ve spent $900 on the two vibrant signs they hope will be attention to walker safety and help reduce the possibility of accidents by making drivers more aware of the crosswalks and pedestrian rights, Genzman said. The signs will removed in late fall before the snow flies.

Free computer training The Birchard Public Library is participating in a new AmeriCorps program. “Guiding Ohio Online.” Through the program, AmeriCorps members will offer classes and one-on-one help at library locations to individuals who want to become more knowledgeable and confident about using computers. The program, which is being coordinated by Mandy Knapp at the State Library of Ohio, will run from Oct. 1 through Aug. 29, 2015. Applicants who are interested in being computer helpers at area libraries can visit www.guidingohioonline.org or email Mandy Knapp at aknapp@library.ohio.or.

Tax abatement sought for new plant Continued from front page “This will be for manufacturing/distribution. It will produce the parts for the Ford 150, with assembly in Michigan, Kansas and Mexico. These parts will be manufactured here and shipped to those facilities for further assembly.” The estimated cost of the project is $1.8 million, he said. An additional $400,000 will be spent at the location on Spartan Drive, which will be modified to handle the product, he added. The building will be owned by Oregon Holdings Six LLC, but operated by Autoneum, he added. “They have a 10 year lease, and we anticipate them being here for many, many years,” said Harmon. It will bring the total space of Autoneum, not counting its main plant, to 250,000 square feet, he said. The second project is an expansion of Fresenius, a medical care facility in Oregon. “We will be adding 50,000 square feet. to the building,” he said. Most of the jobs will be coming from California. “They’re moving part of the manu-

facturing from California to Oregon,” he said. “In addition to that, we have a project inside the plant that we will modify to increase its production. We anticipate construction to start some time this fall or early next spring, with completion six to seven months afterwards.” “You have a wonderful track record here in Oregon,” said Councilman Jerry Peach. “We appreciate the investment in both your time and capital investment you’ve made in our community.” “We’ve invested somewhere north of $25 million in this town,” said Harmon. “We continue to do so. We have a couple of other projects beyond these two. And we are marketing and selling Oregon nationally.” Industrial base Administrator Mike Beazley said Harmon, who is also chairman of Spartan Logistics LLC, has developed many projects in the city over the last several years. “He has a long history of doing some outstanding development here in Oregon,” Beazley said of Harmon. “In the past, we have done some routine tax abatements that made it a little easier for the company to choose Oregon and

allow the creation of some jobs here. This is a similar venture,” said Beazley. Harmon developed his first facility on Wales Road in Northwood about 20 years ago. He owns nine different facilities in Oregon and Northwood and owns 6 million square feet of commercial and industrial properties across the country, from New York to California. Besides Fresenius, Caraustar, the nation’s largest supplier of gypsum facing paper in North America, and the second largest manufacturer of convolute-wound and spiral-wound paper tubes and cores, is among the companies drawn to Harmon’s facilities in Oregon over the years. Mayor Mike Seferian said the city’s real strength is its industrial base. “It’s our lifeline. We have a great relationship and we provide services here for the industrial based businesses. We try to make it easy for them to do business here,” said Seferian. Council will consider passing the ordinance at a meeting on August 11 after the Oregon school board considers supporting a resolution in favor of the measure, he

added.

Waters dismissed as director

Outside review planned of OSU band allegations By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com An independent task force headed by former Ohio Attorney General Betty Montgomery will conduct a review of allegations of sexual harassment within The Ohio State University marching band program, expanding on an internal investigation that led to the dismissal of Jon Waters, the band’s director. OSU president Michael Drake last week said the task force will report to him directly and will include Ernst & Young, an accounting/consulting firm, the Sports Conflict Institute and outside legal counsel. Drake said Ernst & Young will conduct an investigatory review while SCI will review the “culture” of the marching band. The legal counsel will provide guidance on Title IX compliance. “Nothing is more important than the safety of our students,” Drake said in a prepared statement. Waters, a native of Elmore and graduate of Woodmore High School, had been director of the band since 2012. A two-month investigation by the Office of University Compliance revealed “serious cultural issues and an environment conducive to sexual harassment within the marching band.” “In addition, the investigation determined that Director Waters was aware or reasonably should have known about this

culture but failed to eliminate it, prevent its recurrence and address its effects,” the statement said. The investigation revealed conduct by “members of the band and staff” that is described as “inconsistent with the university’s values and Title IX requirements.” The university said it will move quickly to hire an interim band director and the band season will continue. Waters had been named interim director of the band when his mentor Jon Woods stepped down after 28 years at the helm. Waters is credited with taking the 225-member band’s half-time performances to another level and in 2013 what is called ‘The Best Damn Band in the Land” became an Internet sensation with formations depicting popular movies, the music of artists such as The Beatles and Michael Jackson and other icons of pop culture. Waters had been a member of the band as a student. In November 1998, he had the distinction of dotting the “I” in a formation of the word “Ohio” during half-time of the Buckeye’s game with Michigan. He visited Elmore earlier this month, accompanied by about 15 members of the band and the mascot, Brutus Buckeye. The village issued a proclamation honoring Waters. In 2013, university officials increased the school’s contribution to the band program budget to $1 million from about $220,000 – enabling the band to travel to more football games.

computer driven program, they come from my hands. They’re hand built, hand cut, hand carved, hand polished.” Even though Alvarado makes each guitar different from any other instrument in existence, including a unique name for each- including “FalconKing,” “Lemondrop,” and “Addison”- he keeps his prices low, so that the chance to own a handmade guitar isn’t just open to those with a lot of money to spend. “My prices are low for what I do,” Alvarado said. “Even if they’re the same

price as an off-the-rack guitar, mine are one-of-a-kind.” Still, the payoff for Alvarado isn’t in the money, but the creativity he puts into each unique instrument. “(Building guitars) is my expression,” Alvarado said. “It’s my contribution to music.” For more information on Art Alvarado’s custom guitars, call 419-309-0076 or visit www.alvaradoguitars.com. The store is open Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

“

They’re hand built, hand cut, hand carved, hand polished.

“

For years, Art Alvarado has been perfecting the craft of making custom electric guitars from scratch. After years of finetuning his skills, he’s finally opened a store of his own, where he can not only sell his guitars, but also create them. “The store is more my workshop, that happens to have a storefront to display my (completed) guitars,” he said. Alvarado Hand Made Custom Guitars opened on 312 Main Street in East Toledo about seven months ago. It is just down the street from Frankie’s Bar. Alvarado’s relationship with guitars didn’t begin with playing the instrument. His first experience came from buying guitars for his son. “I knew that (my kids) needed a positive influence in their lives. I always thought that music was it,” said Alvarado. Alvarado believes that learning an instrument is so much more beneficial to kids than just having the ability to play music. “If you learn an instrument, you set goals for yourself that are obtainable,” he said. “With a guitar, you can express your feelings. You don’t need to keep them bottled up.” Before starting to build guitars, Alvarado had no carpentry or building experience at all. But one fateful day in a guitar store, where he was looking for equipment for his son, his interest was sparked. “I walked into a guitar store, and you know how people say that they heard a voice? It was pretty much like that,” he said. “I’d never even thought about making guitars, but I heard something within me say ‘What are you doing here?’ That’s all it had to say.” It took Alvarado time to figure out what materials he needed and how to go about constructing handmade instruments, but after that day, he never doubted that making guitars was his calling. “From the time I left that store, I knew that this is what I was meant to do,” he said. For Alvarado, it is rewarding work, but it’s also a tough business, especially when he feels the pressure from others who think he should make guitars that look more like brand name guitars. “People want to play (instruments) that look like the ones their heroes play,” he said, “but that’s not why I got into making guitars.” Anyone who comes into Alvarado’s shop will see that the designs aren’t like anything produced in a factory. To make them even more special, Alvarado never makes the same guitar twice. “Every one of my guitars is a one-off,” he said. “They’re not coming off of some

Woodmore voters to decide bond issue Voters in the Woodmore Local School District will decide this fall whether or not they want to fund a new auditorium at the high school. The school board Monday unanimously approved a resolution to place a bond issue on the November ballot that would, if passed, generate approximately $4.5 million for the construction of a new auditorium and other improvement projects in the district. Karen Botzko, interim treasurer, said

the board will ask the Sandusky County auditor to certify a 1.98-mill, 25-year levy request for the Nov. 4 election. Linda Bringman, school superintendent, said the auditorium plans include a seating capacity of 600. The new facility would be constructed where the Hetrick wing is now, she said. The wing, which houses seventh and eighth grade classes, will be demolished next year and those students will be enrolled in a new building in Woodville that will house

pre-kindergarten through the eighth grade. The board considered two resolutions for bonds - a 25-year issue and 37-year issue - before deciding to place the 25-year issue before voters, Bringman said. Woodmore voters in 2012 approved a bond issue that is providing about $15.7 million for the local share of the cost of the elementary building in Woodville. The Ohio Facilities Construction Commission is providing just over $7 million for construction costs.

Oregon Library to close, expansion beginning The Oregon Branch Library will be closed temporarily starting Aug. 11 for an expansion project that will add 3,700 square feet to the facility at 3340 Dustin Road. A temporary site in the former Wynn Elementary School will be open beginning the last week in August. Rhonda Sewell, media relations coordinator for the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, said an exact day hasn’t been determined for what library officials are calling the Wynn Center but hours will be Monday and Tuesday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Work on the Dustin Road branch is scheduled for completion by June or July 2015. The project is expected to cost about $2.5 million. Almost all of the additional floor space will be dedicated to public use, including a room for children story times and a room for teens with access to the Internet. A meeting room is being expanded and there will be a 24-hour lobby area for patrons to drop off and pick up materials. An auction of some of the library’s furniture is planned for late August.

The branch was built in 1988 and covers about 14,800 square feet. Other branches nearby are in East Toledo: • Birmingham Branch Library, 203 Paine Ave. (Hours: Monday and Tuesday, 9 a.m.-8:30 p.m. and Wednesday through Friday, 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m.) • Locke Branch Library, 703 Miami St. (Hours: Monday and Tuesday, 9 a.m.-8:30 p.m. and Wednesday through Friday, 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m.) For information, contact Oregon Branch Library officials at 419 259-5250.

New Wood County subdivision regs on agenda By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com New regulations covering subdivisions in Wood County will be on the agenda of the county commissioners’ Aug. 5 meeting. The county planning commission has approved a final draft of the 70-page document. Dave Steiner, director of the planning commission, said the new regulations will replace regulations adopted in 1989 that include an update to open space rules approved in 2005. “The new regulations will take into account all of the law changes and court

cases that have occurred since 1989,” Steiner said. “They will also address issues that have been an on-going problem for the planning commission such as maintenance of storm water systems, detention/retention ponds and open space.” In effect, the planning commission has “married” the new regulations to another set of regulations established by the county engineer’s office entitled “The Wood County Subdivision Site Improvement Manual,” he said, noting the engineer’s document establishes design standards for streets, storm water facilities, drainage systems, as well as maintenance provisions for storm water and drainage systems.

“The thought being that rather than have the redundancy of both documents containing the same language, the subdivision regulations would reference the appropriate requirements in the site improvement manual and vice versa,” Steiner said. The new regulations are based on a model set of regulations drafted by the County Commissioners Association of Ohio and the County Engineers Association of Ohio. “By doing this we were comfortable the contents of our document were up to date as well as legally sound,” Steiner said.

City to award a bid for intersection improvement Oregon received two bids for the Coy and Dustin roads intersection improvements project, which is scheduled to begin in August. Public Service Director Paul Roman said he would have liked to see more bids. “Both contractors who bid are good contractors,” said Roman at a committee of the whole meeting last Monday. Ropper Construction, Inc., of Willard, submitted a base bid of $999,999 with alternate bids of $56,230. Crestline Paving & Excavating submitted a base bid for $1,006,640.13 with alternate bids of $100,300. Council on Monday will consider approving a contract with Ropper Construction, Inc., for a total amount not to exceed $1,056,229. Ropper had the lowest and best bid. “This is a project we’ve been planning for the last three years or so,” said Roman. The project consists of widening and

The city received a grant covering 80 percent of the costs of the project, or up to $827,200, from the Federal Highway Administration through the Ohio Department of Transportation. The project, which is included in this year’s budget, will extend into next year before it’s completed, said Roman. “Traffic lights usually take the longest to be delivered. So they usually finish the construction, go back to stop signs, and eventually when the lights come in, the project will be done,” said Roman. Council President Dennis Walendzak asked Roman if the project has a connection to improvements planned for the CoyNavarre intersection, or are the projects separate. resurfacing Coy to provide turn lanes at “We will certainly try to tie into the Dustin Road for the installation of a new timing of Coy and Navarre,” said Roman, of traffic signal at Dustin Road.

There will be some improvements at the corner of the Navarre-Coy intersection, he said. Trucks, he said, have caused damage to the curb while attempting to make a turn. “We’re going to try and repair that the best we can. It won’t be the full repair that we’re wishing for, but what we plan to do is apply for other safety funds and look at a dedicated right turn at northbound Coy and Navarre and do a major improvement there,” he said. “That would be the true improvement at Coy and Navarre. But this will tie into that. We are planning that as an improvement in the future.” “Mr. Roman and I have discussed the turn radius at Navarre and Coy that has not allowed trucks to make that turn without sometimes going over the curb and doing damage to the landscape next to the curb,” said Councilman Jerry Peach. He added that he looked forward to seeing the project completed, particularly because nearby Rite Aid has an “exemplary landscaping display there.” “This project should help make it look much better,” said Peach.

EPA visit highlights battle with Lake algal blooms By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com During a visit Wednesday to Toledo and Oregon, the director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency praised several public water systems for their cooperation in a voluntary program to test for microcystin levels. But Craig Butler said the U.S. EPA has taken too long to determine what drinking water standards should be. “We need a target to test against,” Butler said during a stop at the City of Oregon’s water treatment plant on N. Curtice Road. In addition to testing its own raw water for microcystin, a type of toxin that

can be produced by blue-green algae, the city’s plant has also been processing samples from the cities of Clyde, Findlay and Monroe, Mich. as well as Carroll Township, Kelleys Island and the Ottawa County regional water treatment system. Doug Wagner, superintendent of water treatment in Oregon, said the arrangement saves time and money for the entities, which take turns buying the test kits that cost $485. Since 2010, Oregon has been performing its own on-site testing for algal toxins. The Ohio EPA has developed a response strategy for algal blooms for public water systems that is updated annually. The 2014 draft document calls for voluntary weekly sampling for microcystin and

more frequent sampling if detected levels are above 5 parts per billion in a system’s untreated water. While the city conducts sampling several times a week during the summer months when algal bloom are more common, the agency samples public water systems for microcystins in response to a bloom. Water treatment, Wagner said, can be a “serious balancing act” as the use of chlorine to eradicate microcystin can result in elevated levels of trihalomethanes - a group of four chemicals formed when chlorine or other disinfectants used to control microbial contaminants in drinking water react with naturally occurring organic and inorganic matter in water.

Also in Oregon, Butler and Mike Baker, chief of the Ohio EPA’s division of drinking and groundwaters, and local officials toured a section of Wolf Creek where the city is realigning parking areas and storm drainage swales to reduce run-off into the creek. A federal-state grant is being used to help fund the project. The group’s first stops were at the City of Toledo’s Bay View waste water treatment plant and an overflow storage basin in East Toledo under construction. A high-level of the toxin forced Carroll Township to put its residents on alert last September.

Oregon may require installation of city sidewalks Mayor Mike Seferian said his administration may come up with a recommendation to council to have sidewalks installed in the city. “The topic of sidewalks has come up several times,” said Seferian. The sidewalks would be in subdivisions or businesses where they weren’t installed completely, he said. “We can put something together, and then council can pick the time frames if they want to act on it or have them in new subdivisions after so many years. Then sidewalks would be ordered in once the subdivision got so far under way,” said Seferian. “We have a few that may have had the subdivisions in for 17 or 18 years, and there’s five or six lots that have not been developed where the sidewalks ended. It kind of defeats the purpose of having a sidewalk

if they are terminated at a certain point. So we may put something together, and have council add or tweak it.” The city is also inspecting sidewalks in neighborhoods to determine which are in need of repair as part of its sidewalk maintenance program. Council on Monday will consider a resolution for the repair and reconstruction of sidewalks in the city. If a sidewalk is found to be in need of repairs, the section will be marked with an “X” with white paint. Property owners are responsible for the repairs, according to Public Service Director Paul Roman. The city is responsible for repairing sections marked with an “O.” The damage to those sidewalks are usually damaged by roots of trees located within the public right of way. Residents received formal notices by certified mail in June that requires them to have damaged sidewalks repaired within 45 days. Property owners can make the re-

pairs themselves or allow the city to hire contractors to make the repairs, the cost of which will be assessed against the property. Property owners will have to pay the assessment within 60 days of notice or it will be put it on their taxes for over two years, according to Roman. If the property owners choose to hire a licensed contractor to replace their sidewalks or perform the work themselves,

a permit must be obtained from the city’s Building and Zoning Department. A permit is only required for reconstructing or replacing a sidewalk section. If you are making a repair (concrete leveling, grinding, etc.) to a sidewalk section, a permit is not necessary. All work must conform to the city’s rules and regulations for construction of driveways, sidewalks and curb cuts specifications. Roman said the sidewalk maintenance program is not annual. There were no notices sent out in the last few years due to major workload on sewer and drainage projects. “We’re able to do a lot more and bring things back up to normal speed,” he added, with the hiring of additional personnel. For more information, contact the city’s project representative, Andrea Beard, 419-698-7162.

Toledo’s real ghostbusters featured on Travel Channel By Christopher Selmek Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com

Looking at history Most investigations actually begin in the library or government center, where the team goes through historical records to

Al and Tami Luna, founders and senior investigators for Toledo’s Paranormal Spirit Encounter Investigations. find out what has happened on or near the property. One house that the Lunas visited in Michigan was haunted, they believe, because of a railway accident that happened nearby, but the team looks for any event which may have caused ghosts or spirits to want to be there. Then they perform the initial interview. Many reported hauntings can be debunked before PSEI sets up any equipment, when they try to think of natural explanations for hearing noises. “The Dead Files” typically begins their investigations by having Amy, a psychic medium, walk through the property to pick up signals. PSEI does not have a psychic because they haven’t found someone they felt was trustworthy, Al said. PSEI’s tools are more scientific and include Infra-red cameras, a minimum of four of which are placed at hot spots within the location, and MEL and KII meters which measure low level electricity in the air. “Ghosts are made up of a plasmic energy, generally at very low levels on the readouts we get,” said Al. “Generally 1.0 to 5.0 milligals is a strong signal, but if you get better equipment it can get up into the 40s. At the house in East Toledo, we did not get a visual, but we did pick up strange things on the cameras. Some people believe orbs have nothing to do with apparitions, but where we pick them up makes us think that it has something to do with spiritual powers.” It can take longer than an hour to set up all of the cameras in different areas, and they are sometimes at a location until 3 a.m. They also carry digital recorders and a device called a Voice Box through which ghosts have sometimes been able to speak. In the East Toledo case, PSEI met with the family on Feb 27 and learned from them that “The Dead Files” had discovered at least four demonic spirits after Amy’s psychic walk through the house. They discussed hosting an exorcism, and the family requested the priest visit them. During the priest’s interview, he walks through the house and asks the homeowners questions that pertain to false gods. Spirits typically enter the physical world

“

Most of the time, the entity haunting a house was already there when the current owners moved in.

“

If there’s somethin’ strange in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call? If you live near Toledo, you might want to call PSEI. PSEI (Paranormal Spirit Encounter Investigations) has been active in the community since January, providing free investigations for any home or business owner troubled by hauntings or demonic attacks. One recent investigation, which ended with PSEI bringing in a Roman Catholic priest to perform an exorcism on a house in East Toledo, will be featured on the Travel Channel’s “The Dead Files” Aug. 2. “Our goal is to help a family or business owner be happy in their home or business again,” said Al and Tami Luna, the founders of PSEI. “When we first contacted the family in East Toledo, they were ready to move out of the house, but after the exorcism, we hadn’t heard from them in a while and found out it was because they had been busy being happy and living life. “Before, they could hardly sleep because they were being held down in bed, scratched and pushed down the stairs, so what we do really does help people,” Al said. The names of the individuals involved in the upcoming “Dead Files” episode cannot be published until after the episode airs, but it involves a mother and her female partner, a daughter and her 2-year old son. Prior to the filming of this episode, only the daughter remained in the East Toledo home, while the other three moved out. Al originally met the haunting victims because of his fondness for distributing PSEI business cards. He handed one to the cashier at a local Taco Bell sometime after “Dead Files” performed their initial investigation, and she asked if they could help her. Al accepted the challenge. “We had been active in another group for about four years, which we left in January, because they didn’t want to deal with anything demonic or get spirits out of homes,” said Al. “They kind of felt they got evidence of apparitions for their entertainment but wouldn’t help exorcise the spirit. Sometimes they said they would put the homeowner in contact with someone who could help, but we don’t know if they ever did or not. Tami and I feel we have an obligation to help people through to the end, and we’re very interested in helping people feel comfortable in their own homes.” PSEI consists of six members. Al and Tami are the founders and senior investigators, while Ray Williamson, Amy Rupp, Corey Todd and Earl Brannon are investigators with specific talents. Then there is the priest, who lives in the Detroit area and is not an official member of the group, but makes himself available any time they need him, “We’ve used him twice this year for exorcisms,” said Tami. “We can’t use his name, because most priests are not able to go public with what they are doing. The Bishop refused to let Dead Files record the exorcism, which he performs in Latin. We don’t understand what he is saying, but there is a reason we do it that way.”

through doorways which can be opened from this side using things like Ouija boards or Tarot cards, Al said, adding PSEI once investigated a house which may have been haunted because of New Orleans beads strung up around the bedroom which held the image of a voodoo god. “Most of the time, the entity haunting a house was already there when the current owners moved in,” said Al. “Even a fortune telling pendulum can open a doorway that lets them in, and generally when you open that door, it won’t be a friendly ghost, it will be something demonic, and they can be very hard to get rid of.” On March 13, the priest arrived and conducted the exorcism. He prayed for an angel to come into the house and protect the family for the entire time they live there, then continued by reciting the prayer or exorcism to St. Michael and a few Psalms in Latin. “Latin is one of the original languages, and it is a pure language, which means that every word in Latin has a specific meaning, unlike our language which is very ambiguous,” said Tami. “So when he’s telling a demon in Latin to stay out and get out, he really means it.” That was when Al and Tami started getting attacked by demons. “What happened was the mother started getting a stabbing pain in her head and

feeling weak, so she sat down and held the wooden cross the priest had blessed for her,” said Al. “After the pain left her, I started feeling a tingling in my neck and my body temperature went up. So I reached down and grabbed the cross I always wear, and the tingling went away.” Following the demonic attack, the priest went room by room, sprinkling holy water from the attic to the basement, after which a calm fell over the house. The daughter and her boy then came inside to be blessed by the priest, and the 2-year-old started playing with no fear of the house and slept there that night without incident, Al said. A follow-up revealed the daughter living in the East Toledo house was having no problems, but that the demons had followed the mother and her partner to their home in North Toledo. PSEI arranged another exorcism with the priest, and now all family members seem to be doing fine. PSEI does not charge for any of their services, and is willing to travel within an hour of the Toledo area. “We were like a lot of people who watched the TV shows and felt a little interested, but I had an experience in the `80s that made me want to know more,” said Al. “I also guide a Haunted History tour in downtown Toledo on Saturdays, and one of the questions I always ask my guests is what is the difference between a ghost and a spirit? If you know the answer, you might win a prize.” The Lunas live in Perrysburg, but have visited numerous locations around Ohio such as the Pemberville Opera House and the original location of Tony Packo’s Hungarian restaurant, both of which they say are definitely haunted. Their next case will take them to Sand Creek, Michigan, where they say homeowners have seen four full-body apparitions accompanied by knocking and noise.

essage of the

eek: Blessed are the Poor in Spirit

It may seem odd that the very first of the beatitudes bestows a blessing on the poor in spirit and promises that the kingdom of heaven is theirs (Matthew 5:3). Should we not seek spiritual riches rather than spiritual poverty? The blessing for the poor in spirit is not meant to denigrate spiritual treasures but rather to elevate the spirit of poverty and humility. We would do well to remember here that the scribes and Pharisees were paradigms of virtue, rich in spirit and proud of their piety, but, didn't seem to need or heed Jesus's message. Jesus had vastly more to offer the weeping

adulteress who was thrown at His feet than he did to her accusers. And He had more respect for the impoverished widow who humbly put her two small coins in the temple treasury than the wealthy who made a show of putting in larger amounts. God loves the poor, and those who are poor in spirit even more, so we should count it a blessing when we are feeling lowly and humbled. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. James 4:9-10

What is your favorite local festival or fair?

Do you feel compelled to give money to people holding signs along the road asking for money? No, I'm not sure they're legitimate. No, I'm afraid they will use it for drugs. Yes, I feel good about helping someone down on their luck. Yes, we could all end up like that. Sandy Krytus Woodville "'Wood County Fair... I think it's just the right size. The State Fair is too big... It's exhausting and the smaller fairs like Ottawa don't have enough."

Looking after yourself is not necessarily a selfish thing to do Nothing is to be gained by feeling guilty because you are concerned about taking care of your own needs. Unfortunately, you have probably had many encounters with people who equate having a concern for your own well-being with selfishness. Your happiness suffers when you are not OK. When you are off, you can’t be of help to anyone else either. You have an obligation to take care of yourself. There are many areas where you should strive to be OK. You want to be OK with your emotions. It’s important to understand how you are feeling and why. What makes you happy? What upsets you? By understanding emotional cause and effect, you can take action to maximize positive emotions while working to minimize negative ones. Don’t ignore unpleasant feelings, hoping they will go away. Being OK emotionally requires a conscious strategy of knowing yourself and how things impact you. You are then in a position to actively participate in your emotional well-being.

Dare to Live by Bryan Golden It’s just as important to be OK physically as it is mentally. The health and well-being of your mind and body are inseparable. If you are feeling off mentally, you must not allow your physical state to be neglected. Exercise is one of the best ways to reduce the negative impact of stress. Just taking a walk is a great way to clear your mind while taking care of your body. Avoid any self-destructive behavior such as substance abuse or over or under eating. Stressing your body also stresses your mind. The last thing you need is to make things worse. Stress should not and does not need to be a way of life. Chronic stress is destructive both mentally and physically. Dealing with stress starts with identifying the cause and then formulating an effective strategy

for lessening it. Hiding from or masking stress only makes things worse. It’s important to be OK financially. There are only two strategies for financial health. Increase your income and/or reduce your expenses. The best approach combines the two; living below your means. There may be occasions where others ask you to loan or give them money. It’s OK to make sure your financial needs are met before considering giving to others. You spend more time working than at virtually any other activity. If you are not OK with your occupation, you need to make changes. There is no need to suffer at work. You can change jobs or change your position with your current employer. If you don’t have the skills or education needed, get them. Perhaps your own full or part time business could be an option. Your priorities are another area where you want to be OK. You must be the one to set them, not someone else. A great source of frustration is attempting to fulfill priorities which are not your own. Your priorities should be based on your needs

and objectives. Although other people will constantly attempt to dictate your priorities, you don’t have to listen to them or convince them otherwise. Connected to your priorities are your goals. It’s virtually impossible to be OK with goals imposed on you. Everyone has their own desires based on personality, experiences, likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. It’s OK for your goals to be in alignment with who you are. Take a look at the various aspects of your life. Identify any areas where you don’t feel things are OK. Figure out the cause of what is wrong and then formulate a plan to make corrections. It is OK to be OK. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www.

Fighting Parkinson’s

Coping with ‘knock-out fun’ By Jeffrey D. Norwalk Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Often, the word “boxing” conjures up a whole barrage of imagery — some of it not so good for some people. Then there’s International Boxing Club founder and executive director Harry Cummins, who has started another new community program. This time, the IBC is helping people living and coping with Parkinson’s disease. Currently, there are 11 Parkinson’s students enrolled in their “Knock-Out Parkinson’s” class. Enrolled is Craig Adams, 55, a Temperance, Michigan-based automation system architect, who’s not only taking on his Parkinson’s headlong with the gusto of a heavyweight champ, but he’s poised to star in the IBC’s annual Celebrity Boxing Night this coming September. Fellow students have agreed to walk out with him and stand in his corner. Another student is 78-year-old Evelyn Brennan, who said the day she first walked into the cavernous gym off Starr Avenue for the somewhat-intimidating-at-first Parkinson’s boxing program, was a bit inhibited. Just a few months in, she is engaging in conversations with other students and actually punching the bag, whereas she used to barely tap it. Then there’s 72year-old Gil Bertstuber, who after losing 11 pounds, said, “I’ve been involved with the program maybe a couple of months. And to be honest with you, I thought it was kind of a silly idea at first, until I came over and watched them once. That’s when I decided to try it, and it’s so much fun. And, boy, do they work our tushes off. I’m exhausted and soaking wet when I walk out the doors. “I like working the bag the most,” Bertstuber continues, “because it allows you to expend a lot of energy, without moving around a whole lot. I’ve got arthritis in my knee and my shoulder, so it’s nice for that. Everything you can do, as far as expending energy, and doing exercises, helps with the Parkinson’s. My main thing is a tremor in my hand, and a little stiffness, and the program really helps. “The hardest thing for me is getting up early for Monday morning class,” Bertstruber laughs. “But, it’s definitely worth it once I get here. It’s just a great, fun program, full of a lot of great, nice people, and I definitely look forward to it every week.” Cummins and former University of Toledo occupational therapy grad student and 2007 Clay alumnus Rachel Martinez launched the program in late spring following a weekend “training camp” at Rock Steady Boxing, Inc in Indianapolis, Indiana, which educated them on how to do so. “I was really, really impressed with the training camp at Rock Steady Boxing,” offers Cummins, who was part of a 12-person

contingent that included mostly occupational therapists and esteemed referee and International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Richard Steele. Steele also took part in the three-day session. Cummins feels focusing on IBC’s program is important primarily because of the boxing aspect. He says it’s not just it’s his own area of expertise, but also because the IBC Parkinson’s students have taken to it. “Our people in our own class just love to hit the mitts, and they love to work the bags,” says Cummins, “so, we’re trying to tweak our program so it’s a little more boxing-oriented than the program at Rock Steady.” According to the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation, approximately one-million Americans live with Parkinson’s, including 60,000 cases being diagnosed per year. PD is defined as a progressive disorder of the brain that can affect balance, coordination, walking and other everyday movements that we often take for granted. It can even affect speech and frequently develops rather gradually with just a barely-noticeable tremor in one hand. “These people are fighting Parkinson’s Disease,” said Dr. Martinez. “They’re fighting to maintain what they have. They’re fighting for their happiness. They’re fighting for their lives.” Thanks to the IBC’s ongoing relationship with Dr. Beth Ann Hatkevich of the University of Toledo and Department of Rehabilitation Science chairwoman Dr. Michelle Masterson, the IBC has been able to secure workout partners for their students. “The program has gone way beyond my expectations,” said Martinez. “I chose to become an occupational therapist because I love to help people. I love to make a difference in peoples’ lives. But, these students have made a difference in my life, too. It’s really inspirational to me to see them participate in our program, because they just love the boxing. “They love each other, too,” she says. “They just hit it off right away, and I’ve been so impressed with their camaraderie. Everyone seems to be together in this fight. And, you know, they are fighting something. It’s bigger than climbing into a ring, and fighting an opponent.” Cummins adds, “For me, it’s been something to get up in the morning for. We believe it’s a great thing to get everyone involved. We believe if our caregivers are out there working out, too, they’ll be able to see firsthand what their loved ones are actually capable of doing. Plus, dealing with Parkinson’s disease along with everyday life, these people naturally have a lot of stress, too.” Log onto www.ibctoledo.org or call 419-244-8955 to inquire about classes, or stop in at 525 Earlwood Ave. (old Fun Spot Roller Rink) in Oregon Mondays and Wednesdays from 9-10 a.m. to check the free program out.

Genoa’s 2014 seniors just ‘one of those special classes’ By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It was a special class, no doubt about it. Genoa’s Class of 2014, which graduated last spring, featured a number of stellar athletes and several elite teams that left a mark in the school’s history. In the fall, the football team helped to continue the incredible seven-year run that began when Tim Spiess and Mike Vicars arrived and turned things around. This year’s squad, easily one of the best in school history, went 10-1, won the Northern Buckeye Conference title and fell in heartbreaking fashion to second-ranked Bryan, 43-36, in the playoffs. Many prep gridiron fans believe that if the Comets had defeated the Golden Bears, they would’ve had a good shot at winning the Division IV state title. Quarterback Logan Scott, who will play football at Defiance College this fall, says the bond that existed between the 17 seniors helped the team have so much success over the past three years. “Even since freshman year, we’ve always been really close,” said Scott, one of the most decorated quarterbacks in the program’s history. “We would hang out outside of football, we were good friends. Once you got on the field with that, you had at least 16 other players that you could trust, so it made it easier to play together. “The most important thing when you look at this class is that none of us were selfish and we did whatever it took for the team to win and we didn’t care about personal records. We didn’t care about how many times we touched the ball. Spiess and Vicars always preached to us, ‘Do it for the team, not for yourself.’” Scott, along with other star players like Casey Gose, David Nutter, Michael Deiter, Quentin Spiess and Ryan Espinoza, got much of the accolades for the team’s success but says the role players and those who did their job by blocking and tackling were just as important. “I think that shows how much heart and how much this group of guys cared about the team,” said Scott, who threw for 1,400 yards and 12 touchdowns last season while setting a single-game school record with 336 passing yards in one game. “Even though they knew they weren’t going to get as much playing time, they knew they were going to contribute to our success. That’s one of the most important things when you talk about chemistry. That shows how trusting those guys are and how much character they have.” Gose, who excelled at running back this year after being used primarily as a wide receiver and kick returner in the pre-

Genoa's Class of 2014 football players. (Press file photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com) vious two years, says this group of seniors had its own kind of camaraderie. “All of us played football from fifth grade until this year, except for a select few,” said Gose, who will play baseball next year at Owens Community College. “I would say everyone really gets along. I think it was because we got along and had the same goals and knew what we were there for. I think our class is really close as a whole, and I think that’s what also helped is that people would come and support us (at the games). People were always helping us out. That helped out a lot, too.” One game from state Gose and five fellow seniors, Scott, Spiess, Alex Hayes, Gabe Yanez and Grant Adams were part of the baseball team that had an incredible two-year run. This season, Genoa finished second in the league and won a sectional title before coming within one out of advancing to the district final. But it was last year that the team left its mark. The Comets, after finishing third in the NBC, embarked on one of the best tournament runs in school history, making it to the Division III regional final. The run, which included five wins, saw Genoa defeat Elmwood, 3-2, in nine innings in the sectional semifinals before edging Lake, 3-2, in the sectional final. After blowing

out Sherwood Fairview, 13-1, the Comets narrowly defeated Evergreen, 5-4, and beat Lima Central Catholic, 8-3, in the regional semifinals. In the regional final game that would have advanced them to state, they lost to No. 8 ranked Bloom-Carroll, 8-1, ending Genoa’s season at 20-10. “I’m going to remember that every game we played, it came down to the last inning,” said Gose, who earned first team all-league honors in center field plus area coaches voted him to the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press first team. “We were all so young and we didn’t have any seniors,” Gose continued. “It was so cool that we all stepped up and showed leadership. Baseball is such a weird sport, anything can really happen, and you really have to live in the moment.” It was a special experience for Scott, too. “For me personally, it’s a lot more fun when you win by one or two runs,” said Scott, a first team NBC and All-Press selection at first base. “It makes the victory sweeter than if you blow the team out. We got beat by Lake both times in the league and we beat them by one run (in the tournament). Winning in that fashion boosted our confidence. We thought, ‘Hey, maybe we can do something.’ Going into the tournament last year, nobody expected us to do anything.” Those two consecutive seasons have

helped the Comet baseball program return to the successful days of the past. “When Coach Rightnowar came here, he said, ‘We are going to make people care about baseball again. In one or two years, people are going to know who Genoa is not just for football but for baseball,’” Scott said. “Knowing that people know us in Genoa for baseball, that’s a greater win. Getting more people out to the games, it’s nice knowing that the baseball players feel like they’re important and that they’re not just living in the football team’s shadow.” Seniors on the wrestling team had a magnificent run as well, winning the NBC for the second straight season and third time in four years. A group of six seniors, Max Reeder, Nathan Moore, Cody Buckner, Tyler Rozak, Dustin Widmer and Robert Roginski led the Comets to new heights, and three of them, Reeder, Moore and Buckner, advanced to the state meet. As a team, Genoa was 16th in Division III with 16 points. The Comets also won their sectional, finished third at districts and had four league champions. Individually, Logan Bryer won the Division II state title in the shot put with a throw of 55 feet, 8 inches and was third in the discus (171-4). Bryer, who will be attending the University of Kentucky to compete with the track team, was second in the discus two years ago.

Northwood coach’s bag was winning championships By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com When you think of Northwood, you probably think about baseball and football, which have been the school’s two premier sports for years. For nearly 50 years, the Rangers have built and sustained a baseball program that has consistently won league titles. In recognition, Northwood will honor one of its best all-time coaches, Jeff Meyers, during its 10th Annual Northwood Ranger Baseball Alumni Game on August 16 at 1 p.m. Meyers, who coached the Rangers for 11 years from 1979-89, finished his tenure as the winningest coach in school history with 201 victories. Meyers left Northwood in 1989 to coach baseball in Key Largo, Florida. There, he won 143 games and four league titles at Coral Shore High School. Meyers said no matter where he was at, he treasured the relationship he had with his players. “The big thing about coaching at Northwood is that I had a relationship with the kids that was so great – from the kids who didn’t play one inning to guys like (former player) Dave Minarcin,” Meyers said. “It was tremendous. “It was 11 years that I’ll never forget, especially the relationship with the kids. The kids in Northwood just love the game, they love the camaraderie. We never had the problems with the parents that people run into at other schools. The parents were great. And because of them, we were pretty successful. “I give a lot of credit to people that spent a lot of time (coaching youth baseball). Little league baseball in Northwood was fantastic. I do know that they did such a good job coaching the kids and not berating them and I think that was a big thing. When we got the kids in ninth grade, they understood baseball.” Meyers was also proud of the fact that the baseball program helped Northwood to establish an identity. “It’s totally important (for baseball to be our identity),” he said. “The people bought into it. It started before I got there

Coach Jeff Meyers’ 1985 Northwood team included three All-Ohioans. Front Row — Dan Crispen, Keith King, Tom Gercak, Jeff Schwegler(All-Ohio), Brian Wojcik, Steve Judy, and Dave Minarcin (All-Ohio). Middle row — Chris Armstrong, Jr. Menchaca, Coach Meyers, Dave Russell, and Mike Blazevich. Back row — Dean Edwards, Clark Heter, Doug Smith, Scott Rode (All-Ohio), and Barney Dudas. – it started with Larry and a little before Larry. That was very important, not just for the players but also for the town.” Taking on state champions Besides reaching the regional final in 1984, one of the top moments for Meyers was watching his team win two Suburban Lakes League titles while playing against much bigger schools. “Winning two league titles in the SLL, that was a huge accomplishment,” he said. “To win league titles playing against Lakota, Genoa and Elmwood, that was the apex. That was beyond anything I could fathom.” He oversaw a special run which saw Northwood win eight league titles, including seven straight (1979-85), a district championship (1984), a regional final appearance (1984) and four district runner-up finishes (1983, 1986, 1988, 1989). Five players, Joe Vancena, Todd Mahaney, Scott Rode, Jeff Schwegler and Dave Minarcin, earned All-Ohio honors while playing for Meyers.

Minarcin played center field as a freshman on the 1984 squad that fell to eventualstate champion Miller City in the Class A regional final. His players said the program’s success always meant everything to Meyers. “When you’re winning, everyone is having fun,” Minarcin said. “I played four years, I had great teammates. The guys I played with were fantastic. That ‘84 senior class – Mike Susor, Denny DeLong, Todd Mahaney, Mike Gregory, Roger Measley and Chris Harrison – they were great leaders. There was Scott Rode, Dave Russell and me on that team, too. “With Coach Meyers, we had the players and he gave us some freedom. He let us go, but he knew that sometimes he had to pull us back. I can tell you, when you’re winning, it’s a lot of fun. We still talk about the fun that we had playing; that overshadowed the games. The times that we had in the environment he created – it was very fun, very competitive. He didn’t have to push buttons,” Minarcin continued. “If you hear about these great teams, the coaches hand the keys over to the great

leaders and the coach jumps in when he has to. Unless he felt that he had to do something, he created a very positive environment. He recognized the classes and he handed the teams over to the seniors. If he didn’t like what he saw, you weren’t going to get chewed out. He’d take you into his office and talk about it with you.” Minarcin holds a special place in his heart for Meyers and for those who helped build and strengthen the foundation in the program. “Those early guys really broke through and got it going and set the table,” said Minarcin, who sites Rick and Randy Coy and his brother, Rick, as some of his primary influences when he grew up watching baseball. “They set the standard,” Minarcin said. “Coach Meyers kept the standard and then some. When we were kids, we looked up to those guys. They were great athletes and even better people. We were a product of those guys and what they did. “The first year was 1964, and (those teams) started to break through and I really think those teams set things up for us. Jeff came in 1979 after Larry Smith and won 20 games with a good team. Those (early) teams should be recognized.” To give an idea of just how great Northwood baseball was over the years, take this into consideration. The Rangers lost six times in the tournament to the eventual state champion – 1976 to Leipsic; 1977 and 1984 to Miller City; 1986 to Ottawa Hills; and 1990 and 1992 to Coldwater. In fact, the 1976 team, which included Rick Minarcin, Doug Canaday, Rick Coy, John Bassitt, and Bob Snider, among others, beat Blissfield, a league rival, twice before Blissfield won Michigan’s Class C state title that same year. Minarcin said the two wins over Blissfield were important for another reason because Blissfield’s pitcher in both games was future Major League pitcher Ray Soff. “The Rangers beat him twice, which was unheard of,” Minarcin said. Other key members of that Northwood team were Bob Snider, Jay Reckley, Randy Coy, Tim Riddle, Nolan Smith Jerry Brier, Dave Kreger, Ron Shields and Mike Heider.

Eddie George a hit at charity event in Gibsonburg By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com In six years, Parker’s Purpose has come a long way. The charity, which is named in honor of Parker Inks, a 14-year-old Fremont resident, was founded six years ago when Inks, who suffers from muscular dystrophy, became quite ill and had a lengthy stay in the hospital that left his family with a great financial burden. The first event, which featured Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger as the speaker in 2008, helped to raise money for the family, who decided to return a portion to pay forward the generosity that was shown to them, thus helping to spur the cause. The cause was advanced further last Friday when former Ohio State great Eddie George spoke before a packed house at Ole Zim’s Wagon Shed in Gibsonburg. The former Heisman Trophy winner played running back at Ohio State from 1992-95 before going on to a successful career with the Tennessee Titans. George, who spoke for approximately 45 minutes, chronicled his life from his days growing up in Philadelphia and attending military

school to playing football at Ohio State and in the NFL and to his current situation, one that finds him as a successful entrepreneur and a married father of two. He discussed his experiences in the NFL, from making it to four Pro Bowls to nearly winning a Super Bowl in 1999. Retiring from the Dallas Cowboys, where he played one season, following the 2004 season, created great distress for George, who said that he questioned what his life’s purpose would be following football, something that had driven him for the better part of the previous 15 years. But after talking with people, pouring out his emotions and struggling to find an inner peace, it appears that George is content with where he is today. His post-football life has been quite successful. George is currently the owner of an architectural firm, EDGE, and owns two restaurants, Eddie George’s Grill 27, located in Columbus and Nashville. In addition, he works as a football analyst and has spent time acting, too. “What helps me get through every day,” George told the crowd during his speech, “is I commit to winning that day by being spiritually connected, listening to my inner self,

trusting my intuition, the same intuition that told me Ohio State was the place for me. What I like to do is get that time every single morning (where I have) prayer, meditation, declaration. That anchors me.” Aside from giving his speech, George, along with former Cleveland Brown greats Ernest Byner, Kevin Mack and Hanford Dixon, entertained guests for the duration of the evening while signing autographs and taking pictures. According to Parker’s Purpose President Todd Drusback, the preliminary figures indicate that the event will net approximately $45,000, a sign of just how far the organization has come in its six-year history. Thus far, the charity has donated over $125,000 to families in Northwest Ohio. “This was probably the best (event) we’ve had,” said Drusback. “It seems like the ones in the past, we’re saying, ‘This didn’t go well, that didn’t go well.’ Not to say they weren’t successful, but this was probably the best one we’ve had so far. We had Eddie, the Browns players, the crowd, the families talking, and the VIP tent. Eddie was fantastic, the Browns guys were fantastic — I thought everything was great. And we raised a lot of money in the process.”

Waite’s Clifton-Lorton, Hawks seeking another ring By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Ed Mouch, the sixth-year coach of the Toledo Hawks, wears one of his two National Amateur Baseball Federation World Series rings. The Hawks, for players age 22 and under, have won the NABF’s premier event twice since 2009 and took second in 2012. Mouch said he knows his players are aware of the ring. “They ask me about it,” Mouch said. “This weekend we were playing in our TriState Collegiate League tournament and at the end of tournament I said, ‘this is what you’re playing for next week. Hopefully you understand you have a chance to win a ring in addition to winning a World

Series.’” The Hawks qualified to this year’s 16team NABF World Series which begins July 31 and ends Aug. 3 with the championship game at Lourdes University’s Mercy Field. Other tournament venues include the University of Toledo’s Scott Park, Rich Arbinger Field at Bowman Park, and Don Kober Field at St. Francis de Sales High School. The Hawks, who were bounced in the quarterfinals last year, begin play on Thursday. At least 13 players have been with the team for two years. Through Tuesday, the Hawks were 33-17 overall and 17-17 in the Tri-State Collegiate League. The Hawks are also 16-0 in the Toledo Division of the Northwest Ohio Baseball League, which has split divisions between Toledo, Tiffin and Sandusky.

Mouch said he admires this year’s team because “they love playing the game.” “You can guarantee that if we have a game, 13-14 kids are there every day in addition to the pitcher,” Mouch said. “It’s really a close-knit group and they all get along really well together. We’re really young. They all know each other and get along with each other and have fun playing the game with each other.” The Hawks have one player from The Press coverage area in catcher Dylan Clifton-Lorton, a Waite product who plays college ball at Ohio State-Lima. In 38 games Clifton-Lorton, in his second season with the Hawks, was batting .239 (21-for-88) with 13 runs, 12 RBI, three doubles and 10 walks. “We have four catchers on our team, and Dylan is our best defensive catcher,” Mouch said. “We went to Pittsburgh this

summer and played against some Tri-State League teams and there was a college umpire who came up to me after Dylan worked the plate. He said, ‘That’s as good a defensive catcher as I’ve ever seen in my life. He makes it easy to call a game.’ “Dylan’s done a wonderful job. If you were to say who our leader is, I would say he was one of them. He has a lot of energy and he just loves playing the game. He gives us all kinds of energy, tons of energy. His hitting’s gotten better, and he does the little things for us. I just love being around him. He’s a great kid.” The Hawks’ roster includes players from Whitmer, St. John’s Jesuit, Start, St. Francis, Bowsher, Northview, Perrysburg, Maumee, Anthony Wayne, Otsego, Defiance, Van Buren, Bowling Green and Napoleon.

Oregon seeks to end exodus to youth travel teams By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com An exodus of youth from City of Oregon’s recreation leagues to travel teams prompted officials to hold a meeting Tuesday to consider how to stem the flow. Recreation Department Director Joe Wasserman said the meeting in council chambers Tuesday night lasted over three hours. Wasserman said it’s not only affecting participation numbers, it’s affecting the quality of recreation leagues. “We know with this mass exodus to travel, it’s so watered down the quality isn’t there. We’ve got so many people playing travel that don’t belong playing travel,” Wasserman said. Wasserman said about 60 people attended the meeting, including Clay baseball coach Jim Phillips, softball coach Brenda Radabaugh, and Athletic Director Mark Beach. The department held an internal follow-up meeting Wednesday night to discuss what came out of the meeting. One plan he said that will be put in place will be to have more clinics in November and December and then review how they went next January, but he says discussion will

College World Series batboys

The Press Box continue. “We’ve still got a lot of things to discuss,” Wasserman said. “What we will get out of that is some follow-up meetings. “Right now, we’ve combined baseball and softball, but in our next meetings we will separate, going with the baseball meeting and then go with the softball meeting, because there are some separate issues.” There will be a meeting to talk specifically about softball issues from 6-7:30 p.m. on Aug. 18 in council chambers, and following that from 7:30-9 p.m., a meeting specifically for baseball. Meetings are open to the public. The city’s website states that its summer program allows more than 1,400 youths from pre-kindergarten through high school to participate in tee-ball, coach pitch, baseball, softball and high school coed softball. Summer programs also include men’s, co-ed and women’s softball leagues.

Parents or coaches of youth baseball players who want to be batboys and/or ball chasers at the National Amateur Baseball Federation College World Series in the Toledo area July 31-August 3 may call City of Toledo recreation coordinator Shawn Sobel at 419-936-3887. The College World Series will be played at Scott Park (University of Toledo), Mercy Field (Lourdes University), Rich Arbinger Field (Bowman Park) and Don Kober Field (St. Francis DeSales High School). This is the 10th year it has been held in Toledo hosted by the Toledo Amateur Baseball Federation. Former college players who have competed in this national tournament since it arrived in Toledo over 10 years ago include St. Louis Cardinals third baseman David Freese, Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Tony Cingrani and Boston Red Sox reliever Burke Badenhop. Batboys, entire youth baseball teams or portions of youth baseball teams may participate. They should wear their youth baseball uniforms and will be admitted free.

African trip gives Woodmore grad greater appreciation By Yaneek Smith and Malachi Brown news@presspublications.com Elmore resident Hunter Gregory now has a greater appreciation of things. That is because last spring, Gregory went on a mission trip to Africa that saw him make new friends in another continent while enduring challenges not seen in Northwest Ohio. For two weeks, Gregory, along with his aunt, Sharon, and some of her friends, helped to build a residence hall for an orphanage in Malawi, a country located in southeast Africa. Gregory, 18, who graduated from Woodmore High School in the spring, said the experience had its share of joy and sorrow. “It was very different from here,” Gregory said. “It was very ‘Third World’ and there was a lot of poverty and it gave me a different perspective on life.” During the day, Gregory would haul bricks to the building site as his colleagues worked to construct a fortress. The work, which was arduous, gave him the opportunity to bond with the African children. “We would use broken wheelbarrows to get the bricks, which were a half a mile away, push it through sand,” Gregory said. “We would do that for eight hours per day and they would lay the bricks very fast, so they always needed new ones. “A lot of kids liked to help and it was like a game for them. It helped to bond with the kids. They loved us. We were kind of like celebrities to them. They would want to play with us and hold our hands. A lot of the kids were very helpful. All they wanted to do was help us. They are a lot less spoiled.” According to Gregory, many of the children become orphaned because of the AIDS epidemic in Africa. In fact, the 2012 United Nations AIDS Report states that ap-

Woodmore grad Hunter Gregory with local children on his mission trip to Africa. proximately 25 million people who had contracted HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, lived in sub-Saharan Africa. But there are other reasons the children have been orphaned. “A lot of them were dropped off there,” Gregory said. “Their parents might be alive and they’d hear about the place and they’d walk thousands of miles to drop their kids off because they knew (the orphanage) would provide a better life for them. And they know there’s no way to track them

down. Sometimes kids with abusive parents are rescued and brought to the orphanage, too.” Despite the hardships the people have endured, they are making progress and heading in the right direction. “They’re at the stage now where they’re trying to get leaders in their communities, which is going pretty well,” Gregory said. “They’re in need of education.” He also spent time at a local hospital, which he said was a sobering experience.

“It was kind of sad,” Gregory said. “They had a whole different cultural perspective. The hospital would not feed the kids, the mothers had to. It’s customary for the mother to take care of the child. So we would bring food to the hospital for them. That was very different. I even had to (administer) an IV because they would not take no for an answer (when they asked me to help). It was disheartening to see those kids knowing a lot of them didn’t make it.” There were a couple of things that made every day a challenge. The one that stuck out the most was barely tolerable showers. Another was the availability of food. There was no snacking and the only time he was able to eat was at meal times. Fresh water was also an issue, but finding and locating it wasn’t as hard he was told it might have been. He also coached a children’s soccer team at a tournament. He said the experience he had was amazing. “I would do this again if I were given the chance,” said Gregory, and he is planning to head back to Africa as soon as he can. “The kids were great to be with and the people were so friendly to me.” Before and during his trip, Gregory had to take some precautions. He had to have multiple vaccinations before he left. While he was there, he had to make sure his windows and doors were locked at night to prevent the local wildlife from intruding upon his shelter. He also had to make sure if he was walking at night he was accompanied by someone. Gregory, who played soccer and track while at Woodmore, will be a freshman at the University of Toledo this fall. He plans to study Human Resources & Finance and hopes to get a job someday that allows him to travel. (Part of this article is from Window To Woodmore, a student publication, with permission).

Woodmore teen graduates as Highway Patrol Junior Cadet Ross Wolford, a senior at Woodmore High School who is also studying criminal justice at Penta Career Center, completed training for the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Junior Cadet Program, held June 22-26 at the Highway Patrol Training Academy in Columbus. Wolford was one of 30 Junior Cadet participants selected from applications submitted by young men and women who attended Buckeye Boys and Girls State in early June. Cadet program candidates were also chosen based on exemplary performance throughout the previous school year. Eligible children of Patrol employees were also among the Junior Cadets. The Junior Cadet Program is designed to give young participants better insight into the challenges faced by law enforcement officers by enabling them to experience a typical week at the Academy. To enhance their learning experience, Junior Cadets were required to spend the entire week at the academy, sleeping in the dormitories and dining in the cafeteria. Throughout the week, they learned about crash investigation, officer/violator contacts, self-defense tactics, K-9 operations, building searches, motorcycle operations, impaired driver apprehension and military

Coy Math Club It’s an idea that just adds up…giving young students a chance to practice and even improve math skills over the summer will give them a jump on the new school year. This summer, Coy Elementary School teachers have been volunteering their time to present a Summer Math Club, which was open to all the school’s students. The club

is held Tuesday evenings, meeting since June 17 and running through Aug. 12. Club members are required to practice their math facts at least an hour each week. They then check in Tuesday evenings between 6 and 8 p.m. “Upon their checkin, students are given a ‘brag tag’ and are entered in a drawing for prizes, which include Jet Express tickets, Toledo Mud Hens tickets, Toledo Zoo tickets and a movie gift card,” Coy Principal Amy Molnar said. The principal noted this is the first time Coy has offered the Summer Math Club, teachers have been pleased with students’ participation – to date, 83 students have studied their math facts a total of 27,245 minutes.

People Open house for Lake firefighter It was just over four years ago the Lake Township trustees were recognizing Dennis “Pinky” Traver for 50 years of service with the township fire department. An open house to mark the retirement of the veteran from the department will be held Aug. 5 at the township administration building, Cummings Road. The community is honoring Traver, who’s been with the department for 54 years – the most recent as assistant chief at the Ayers Road station. The open house will be held from 6:30-8 p.m. at the township trustees meeting room, following the regular meeting of the trustees. A plaque will be presented to Traver, whose service began as a member of the Millbury Fire Department that was merged with the Walbridge Fire Department in 1991. “We said our goodbyes at our last regular drill night. This will give the public a chance to say goodbye to Pinky too,” said John Castellanos, a captain at the Millbury station.

Anniversary celebration St. Paul Lutheran Church, 9789 W. Oak Harbor SE Rd., Oak Harbor, is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2014. The celebration included a special Sunday message delivered March 2 by former Pastor Paul Schlief. On May 11, St. Paul welcomed Bishop Lohrmann for the morning service. A special invitation has been sent to former confirmants of the church for the Aug. 3 worship service. Former youth group members and organists have also been invited to the service, which will include participation by the Youth Group and the Sunday School Choir. In addition, St. Paul will have a float at the Oak Harbor Apple Festival Oct. 11. On Oct. 26, a special Homecoming Service will be held at the church, presided over by Pastor Timothy Nehls. The Aug. 3 and Oct. 26 services will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will be followed by lunch. St. Paul Church was started in 1864 by Rev. Christopher Raths, who was born in Germany in 1807. Raths became a teacher and then came to America in 1840. He studied to be a minister and was ordained in 1858. Rev. Raths served as pastor of St. Paul for 28 years, from 1858 until his death in 1886. He and his wife are buried in the Roose Cemetery, located southeast of Oak Harbor. The current pastor is Cheryl Wessel, who has been with St. Paul since 1998.

Loving Dad, Son & Brother You have been gone for ten years. Some days it seems like fifty. Missing you deeply, every day since. How we wish we could give you a hug, see you laugh, and hear your funny jokes. We also miss your wit, wisdom, and your kind heart. Your many talents and accomplishments never went unnoticed with music being a comforting part of your life. You gave all of us such precious memories. We know you are with Jesus, and one day our family will be together again. What a day that will be. 1 Cor:13 - The greatest of these is Love Tom’s favorite Bible verse. Love You, Dad, Mom, Your Boys, Wendy, Dawn & the Entire Family

~Your sister Rose and Family

In Loving Memory of Michael, today is your 30th Birthday. There is no cake (no chocolate pie with loads of whip cream), no party, just a broken heart. It is very tough as the days and years go by. You stay the same. I have your sixteen year old picture and that is how you will always look. I wonder who you would be today. Since the house fire, it feels like I have lost you again. Your room is empty, your books, music everything. So now I have just memories of your love of music (I could always find you in the Clay High School band room), your passion for bicycling and our adventures. I miss your beautiful smile, your laughter, your teasing and pranks. They say there is a reason, that time can heal, but neither time or reason will change the way I feel. For no one knows the heartache that lies behind my smiles, no one knows how many times I have broken down and cried. Being your mom was the greatest part of my life.

I Love You, Mom
