School board to seek 5.9 mill levy The Oregon school board on Thursday voted 4-1 to place a 5.9-mill emergency operating levy on the Nov. 4 ballot. The levy, if passed, would raise $2.8 million annually for a period of five years. The levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $207 per year in additional taxes. The financially strapped district has been losing millions per year due to decreases in revenue from real estate and tangible personal property taxes as well as cuts in state funding. Superintendent Lonny Rivera told The Press after the meeting Thursday that he understands many people are struggling financially. “These can be tough times for a lot of people,” he said. “But, I also know the importance of making a good school district. It costs money. I understand for many people, levies are hard to do. But I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t an absolute necessity for our kids. I also want the community to know we are making big strides in improving outcomes for kids.”

“

And I’m in a situation where I’m potentially the face of a levy.

The school board, he said, cut some programs for students a few years ago. “During the reconfiguration, some things were brought back. I don’t want us to take a step backward on the things we’re doing. The reconfiguration is showing a lot of promise for our kids. We’re moving in the right direction.” Board member Jeff Ziviski was the lone vote opposed to placing the levy on the ballot. “Our last levy was passed in March of 2008 - that was 6 year ago. A normal levy cycle for public schools is closer to 3-4 years, so the fact that we were able to go this

long is a testament to our ability to tighten our belts and live within our means,” he said. “At the same time, we have not been able to improve the educational aspect of our district and are falling behind.” The district has made “some really positive improvements over the past year,” he said. The biggest improvement, he added, was hiring Rivera in 2013. “He truly puts the children first and ensures that every decision made in the district has a positive impact on the children and the educational process,” said Ziviski. “But with that being said, while I generally believe the community supports him and believes in his leadership, I think he needs a little more time to show additional improvements and ensure we are doing everything we can internally to save or reduce our costs.” New teachers’ contract Also at the meeting, the board approved a new two year contract with the Oregon City Federation of Teachers, the union that represents 250 teachers in the district. The contract replaces a three year contract that expired on Thursday. Rivera said the district went with a

A sponsor of a bill in the state legislature to repeal Common Core educational standards that are set to be implemented in Ohio schools said his bill will get several hearings this month and, if passed, will allow parents and local school boards to have more say in designing standards. House Speaker Pro Tem Matt Huffman (R- Lima) said HB 597 is an improvement over a similar bill in 2013 that didn’t offer standards to replace the Common Core standards adopted by the Ohio Department of Education in 2010. The bill has been assigned to the House rules committee, chaired by Huffman, and has the blessing of House Speaker Bill Batchelder. “I worked with the sponsor of that bill (HB 237) to establish what we want and don’t want in this bill,” Huffman said last week. “We want higher standards but the first thing we don’t want is to have the federal government involved in determining standards.” He described his bill as a “path forward for better, Ohio-centric standards.” Forty-five states have fully adopted the Common Core – a set of expectations for what students should know in math and English at each grade level. The standards were developed by teachers, math and language experts and others in an effort organized by governors and state school leaders. In addition to new math and English and language arts standards, the Ohio State Board of Education adopted new learning standards in science, social studies, fine arts, world languages, and several other subjects. The standards, which the ODE says is geared to college and career readiness, will drive learning in Ohio classrooms this fall. A new system of standardized tests aligned to the Common Core will replace Ohio’s existing state standardized tests. The tests were developed by a group of states called the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC). Ohio is a member of PARCC. Rep. Huffman said his bill would end the PARCC testing model. Locally, the Lake school board in June Continued on page 2

Bill takes aim at Common Core Continued from front page unanimously approved a resolution stating it opposed the implementation of the standards - with Tim Krugh, board president, spearheading much of the board’s research on the issue. “We are concerned with the poor curriculum, the moral and political corruption, data mining of students and their families, the testing methods, and the national control by big education and big government,” Krugh said recently. “It is an insidious program that was adopted by the states to get federal funding before the troubling curriculum and standards were even known. Our current standards and curriculum are far better.” The board has sent letters to State Senator Randy Gardner and State Representative Tim Brown with copies of the resolution. “We have not talked to anyone in our district who supports this program but many have voiced their sincere opposition for numerous reasons,” the letters say. “The response to this resolution has been overwhelmingly supportive. Our administrative team, including our director of curriculum, and our teachers oppose and/or have serious concerns about this program.” Guy Parmigian, superintendent of the Benton-Carroll-Salem School District, described the planning for the implementation of the Common Core standards as “a complex process which has spanned the past four school years.” But standards, he noted, no matter how well intended, have their limits. “Standards are concepts that have been around for decades,” Parmigian said. “Standards help guide and set benchmarks for student achievement and learning. Standards do not replace teacher creativity, innovation, academic freedom or discretion in meeting the needs of all students at Benton-Carroll-Salem schools.” Northwood Superintendent Greg Clark agrees. “The idea behind Common Core is one that I think most educators supported – to work more thinking into teaching so our students are able to compete in the global economy,” he said. “However, there are real issues at the stuff we’re talking about doing,” he said. “I think Common Core is getting lumped in with all of it. I think it really needs to be teased apart and we need to take a look at good research and get the politics out of it. “My major concern is with the testing regimen – that we’re going to be pumping

out results that show somewhere between half and two thirds of the kids are going to fail these tests. That’s what happened in New York. All of a sudden, half the students in traditionally great schools were not good enough. Parents are hopping mad. “It raises concerns about how kids will identify themselves,” Clark said. “Whether we agree or disagree, the standards are there for us to meet and we’re going to make an effort to ensure our kids have the best chance they can to be successful on the tests that are coming,” he said. “However, we want to continue to make good decisions about what’s best for individual kids. If some of our decisions don’t make us look great on these tests, we’ll explain why we chose to go a different way. “I think we’re going to refuse to be defined by these outside measures and we’re going to continue to do what we believe is right,” Clark said. Even before Rep. Huffman last week announced his intent to introduce HB 597, the standards were facing opposition in the state legislature. Rep. Andy Thompson (R-Marietta) in July of last year introduced HB 237 that would have blocked their implementation. That bill languished in the education committee. Dennis Mock, superintendent of Genoa schools, said he’d like to see lawmakers postpone action on the standards. “It is my hope the legislators put the decision on hold for a year, review the pros and cons and then vote the Common Core standards up or down,” he said. “My biggest fear is what replacement standards the Ohio Department of Education will implement in the future if the Common Core standards initiative is repealed. It’s funny how things progress in an election year, though.” During an event in Steubenville Tuesday, Gov. John Kasich said he had some concerns about Common Core, including the loss of local control. Measures to give districts more autonomy and provide more parental involvement were included in the Mid-Biennium Budget Review, he said.

two year contract this time because Treasurer Jane Fruth could only certify there would be enough funds in the budget for two years. Nearly 80 percent of the budget goes towards salaries and fringe benefits for school employees, which represents the largest expense in the budget, according to Fruth. Thirteen percent of the budget, the second biggest expense, goes towards purchasing services for special needs kids. According to the contract, teachers will not get an increase in their base pay. Also, teachers agreed to spend an additional 15 minutes per day in the classroom. “That’s the importance of us getting the levy passed at this point,” said Rivera. “If we get it passed in November, it would really change our outlook in the stability we would be able to provide. If the levy fails, then the next chance we would get to place another levy on the ballot would be next November. I don’t want to get to that point. We want to provide stability for our kids, our staff and community so they know what to expect in our district.” Although teachers did not get an increase in their base pay, they will continue to receive step increases in their salaries. As part of their contract, teachers traditionally receive automatic salary “steps,” or pay raises the longer they serve in the district. Fruth said step increases cost the district about $500,000 per year. Rivera said he did not seek a freeze in step increases out of respect for the teachers. “We didn’t go after the step increases. We have to find that line where we’re keeping our costs in check. But yet our employees also have families and they’re trying to take care of their needs as well. As much as I can, I want to keep people employed. I don’t want people to take a step backwards,” he said. “We have a lot of work to do with the levy campaign, he said. “Any time you talk money, it can be very controversial for people, and I know that. But I’m hoping the community will believe in what we want to do and support us.” Levy campaign P.J. Kapfhammer, who abruptly resigned his position as board president in June before his first term expired, donated $875 ($653.61 net), his final pay check earned as a board member, to the Oregon levy campaign. Kapfhammer said he had donated his board checks to the district since he was elected in November 2011. Fruth confirmed for The Press that Kapfhammer had donated his pay since being elected. In addition to his final check, Kapfhammer had donated $2,625 (net $1,767.09) to the Oregon Foundation in 2012, and $2,500 (net $1,703) to the Oregon Foundation in 2013. Donating to the levy campaign seemed to contradict his comments in an article that appeared in the May 15 edition of The Press, just weeks before he resigned. Kapfhammer had said in the article that he would aggressively oppose an operating levy. He had said merit pay should replace step increases in the teachers’ contract. Merit pay is based on the quality of a teachers’ work performance. Kapfhammer told The Press last week he is still opposed to a levy. “You have to protect the taxpayers,” said Kapfhammer. “A levy should be the last thing you do. But I do support the district. If that’s the path they’re on, then so be it. They’ll use the money for the right things,” he said of his donation to the levy campaign.

Oregon approves raises for dispatchers By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon city council recently renewed a contract with the Oregon Police Patrolmen’s Association (OPPA) that includes salary increases for police and dispatchers. The previous collective bargaining agreement between the city and the OPPA expired on June 30. The three year contract took effect July 1 and will expire on June 30, 2017. “In the times we’re in, we have to make sure we continue to pay competitively,” said Administrator Mike Beazley. “We think this agreement achieves that. There’s a number of minor changes on the work rules side that [Chief Mike Navarre] helped make for the department to continue to thrive. Those things aren’t always easy. From a compensation side, Oregon is not the highest paid police department in the area. We want to remain competitive, though.” The contract includes a 3 percent wage increase effective July 1, a 2.75 percent raise effective July 1 of 2015, and a 2.5 percent increase effective July 1, 2016. “It comes in a little under another contract we’re compared to in a community like ours in our region. We have some other things we think make us a little more attractive. This contract will work for the city, will work for our workforce, and we think will achieve our objectives,” said Beazley. Health care The city agreed to provide additional wage increases in return for an increase in employees’ contributions for health insurance premiums, he said. The additional wage increases for eliminating insurance caps include a .25 percent raise that became effective on July 1, a .50 percent raise effective July 1 of 2015, and a .50 percent raise effective July 1, 2016. “We recognize that the health care world is changing for our workforce,” said Beazley. “We want to make sure we do our best together to control those costs. We’re establishing for the first time a health care cost containment committee. The city will work with its workforce on ways to lower costs. We expect significant changes within the next three years in that general area as the city tries to control costs.” In general, as with other previous contracts, each one percent raise, noted Beazley, if it were extended to all city employees, would cost the city about $100,000 from the general fund. “So it doesn’t come without cost,” he said. Fair contract Navarre said he was pleased by the contract. “The process itself went very well. Both sides were very well prepared. There were no games played,” said Navarre. “There were very candid conversations in

the sessions. We did a lot of comparables. It is a very fair contract. Oregon is a destination department. People who are hired have every intention of staying here for the remainder of their careers. That is a good thing. We provide a good living to the officers.” There was one major non-economic issue that was addressed in the contract, he added. Five year rotational assignments will give the workforce increased opportunities to bid on other positions in the department. “We came up with a process where we have established a rotation assignment to provide a little bit of lateral movement,” said Navarre. “Some officers might go an entire career without many opportunities to bid, for

Council to voice support By Press Staff Writer A resolution voicing support for Jon Waters, who was recently dismissed as director of The Ohio State University marching band, will be on the agenda of the next meeting of Elmore Village Council. Rick Claar, a member of council, said the resolution will be presented to council at its Aug. 11 meeting. Waters, a native of Elmore and a graduate of Woodmore High School, was fired from the director’s position after a two-month investigation by the Office of University Compliance found “serious cultural issues and an environment conducive to sexual harassment within the marching band.” Waters had been director of the band since 2012. He was also a member of the band as a student. Claar, reading from a draft of the resolution, said it calls for Waters to be reinstated as director and backs him as “he tries to clear his good name.” It notes Waters has been a strong sup-

example, on a detective or school resource position,” Beazley explained last week. The rotational assignments address those concerns. Councilman Jim Seaman said a strong police department improves economic development in the city. “As the chief said, this is a destination point for many police employees. Our citizens recognize this. They know that for a community to grow and be successful, you have to have a very strong police department, like we do have. And it contributes to economic development issues in terms of increasing rooftops in our community because people like to live in areas where they feel safe. Our police department is definitely an asset to our community,” he said.

porter of the Woodmore School District. A sign that states the village is the home of Waters was presented to him when he visited last month, joined by about 15 members of the band and the mascot, Brutus Buckeye. Mayor Matt Damschroder ordered another sign that had been posted near the southern corporation limits of the village to be taken down and placed at the municipal administration building on Rice Street, fearing someone may try to steal it in the wake of all the publicity about the band and Waters. Support for Waters appears to be gaining momentum, including a petition drive and fundraising campaign. Many band alumni and current members have been especially vocal in their backing of him. An independent task force headed by former Ohio Attorney General Betty Montgomery has been formed by the university to conduct a review of the allegations.

Brand new Eastwood Theater to be about community By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com The Eastwood Theater has been many things during its 90 years-plus on East Broadway. That includes 60-years plus providing movie entertainment to the community, which is more than any other theater in East Toledo. After it closed as a family friendly movie theater, it ran adult movies until 1985, and from 1993-2004 was used by South Toledo-based Cornerstone Church for services. Now, it’s back as a church, and a theater, but new Eastwood Theater outreach coordinator Josh Harnegie says it will have more uses — mostly to address community needs. “My interest is to represent it from a theater aspect as well as a community aspect, so we want to bring family-friendly movies back,” Harnegie said. “This has a checkered past. It started in 1923 and it has been many things. It’s come full circle again. We are going to do second release or intermediate release movies, similar to what you see at the Maumee Indoor, which allows us to discount them. “What that allows us to do is have different events. At the first-run theaters, you better be showing ‘Transformers’ 100 percent of the time before you do anything else with it. But here we can have town hall meetings, we can have community organizations come in, and do that kind of stuff. That’s what we want this to be, because proximity is going to be key in East Toledo. People don’t want to go nine or 10 miles to watch a movie.” Two multi-purpose rooms in the back will be available for businesses or community organizations to hold break-out sessions or to use as classrooms. The stage could also be used for live theater for community groups and public and charter schools without access to auditoriums. Harnegie says there is no date confirmed yet when movies will begin showing, but he expects it to be mid-August. He and the church hope the newly renovated theater brings back memories and restores neighborhood traditions. “We’ve been really impressed with the response from the community. People are excited about it,” Harnegie said. “People are stopping on the street asking us, ‘Is this going to be a theater as well as a church?’ because they might remember it being a theater. Many of them don’t remember the church at all, and they grew up here, and they would say when they came and can name the movies that they would watch. “When we were up cleaning up we would find old reels — they were 35 millimeter, not digital, but we would post them online and people would want to have ac-

I think that is really special to bring something like that back.” Workers also found timecards for the Eastwood Theater’s projectionist dating back to 1954. “Lots of hours in a very small hot room,” a worker wrote on Cornerstone’s Facebook page. “We’ve been told that the projectionist was never to leave the projection room while films were on the reel due to the risk of fire from the high intensity lamp systems used at the time.” Addressing blight While bringing something new to the neighborhood, Harnegie stresses that the renovation also addresses blight. “Blight has been a big issue in East Toledo,” Harnegie said. “Mayor (D. Michael) Collins and his T-Town initiative, (District 3) Councilman (Mike) Craig, and East Toledo Family Center, it’s on their hearts. So, what we want to be able to do that, and not only make this look pretty, but we want to send groups out and help the community as well. One thing is that renovating the theater helps with that issue.” Plus, they hope to get children and adults off the streets — giving them something to do in neighborhoods where people may not have access to or be able to pay for

movies. “Theaters are moving out of urban environments, and single screens are not as popular anymore because you can run 16 screens as easy as you can run one,” Harnegie said. “We will have some traffic, but we hope that is pedestrian because we are so close. You talk about socio-economic issues, and that is why it is so important that Cornerstone is here, to be able to align their services, get out in the community, change some lives, touch some people, and that is what they are good at.” On July 26, Cornerstone mobilized over 300 volunteers, local businesses and organizations to reach thousands of community members by throwing a block party complete with a free meal, music, dances, games and prizes. Harnegie promises this won’t be the last public affair run for the community by Cornerstone and its partners. “Cornerstone is planning city-block events, shut the block down from Navarre to Woodville — pass out groceries, give free haircuts, paint nails, do those kinds of things complimentary — one day event. Typically they serve about 3,000 meals,” Harnegie said. Mixing new with old Cornerstone will hold church services

on Saturdays, but it was their volunteers who played a major role in the renovation. Originally scheduled to take six months, Harnegie says they got it completed in less than three months, and that was after most left their day jobs and volunteered at night. “They’ve come in here and really poured their hearts into this. They were looking for another location and they were able to team up with the Toledo Cinema Group to put this on. It’s been a large part in their efforts, their resources, their volunteers, and the theater needs to be able to do something another six days a week, and this allows it to do that,” Harnegie, a University of Toledo graduate, said. “Our interests are separate from Cornerstone Church’s, but I think we all have a stake in it. Our relationship basically is we all share the same building. We all have a goal to do ‘good’ in East Toledo — not just to take resources out but to put them back in,” Harnegie continued. “We talked about using their resources to be able to do that, so they bring in a lot of the labor — they repainted everything and there were some vendors that came in to remediate some issues. The place looks amazing — new carpet, new state of the art lighting, new state of the art sound system, new epoxy, security system, air conditioning, and so forth.”

Man drops request for more than 3 dogs at home By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

“

They’re all fixed. He’s not breeding any of them.

“

Oregon City Council at a meeting on July 28 approved the withdrawal of a request for a Special Use permit for a dog kennel at 466 Georgetown Dr. The property is zoned R-2 Medium Density Residential District. George Pope applied for the Special Use permit to have six dogs in his home. James Gilmore, commissioner of building and zoning, said Oregon permits three dogs or fewer in residential areas. More than three is considered a dog kennel, which requires a Special Use permit. “In an R-2 zone‌it’s simply not an allowable use,â€? said Gilmore. On June 17, the Oregon Planning Commission voted 5-0 to deny the application. The matter then went to council to consider. Pope said at the June 17 Planning Commission meeting that four of the dogs were owned by him and his wife. The four dogs included a Chihuahua, a Pomeranian, a Maltese Shih-Tzu mix, and another small mixed breed. Two more, a pit bull and a Chihuahua, belonged to his 21-year-old daughter. He said he was not using the dogs to breed and sell. He wanted permission to keep his four dogs. He wanted them for emotional support after the loss of one of his children. He also wanted permission for his daughter and her two dogs to remain until she could move out. A minimum vote of two-thirds of council is required to overturn the Commission’s

recommendation, said Gilmore. Joseph Pope said at a public hearing at the July 28 meeting that his brother only has three dogs now and is no longer seeking a special use application for six dogs. Even so, he said his brother kept good care of the dogs. “They’re all fixed. He’s not breeding any of them. They’re all family pets,� he said. “He’s not selling any of them for profit. He’s not running a kennel. He’s not harboring dogs,� said Pope. Mayor Mike Seferian, who is a member of the Planning Commission, said he understood Pope’s brother was not running a kennel. “But we have an ordinance that permits no more than three dogs in a household. If he wished to have more than three dogs, the only way we know he could do that is if he had a kennel license there and it would permit it. So it was the avenue that he chose to try and keep the dogs there. So it was a way for him to be legal and have more than three dogs at his residence.�

Different laws Pope said the Lucas County Dog warden inspected the house and yard, and noted that each dog was licensed. “He was in compliance with Lucas County,� said Pope. Councilman Jim Seaman said Lucas County has no authority to interfere with Oregon ordinances. “We have different laws than Lucas County. If you exceed three [dogs], you’re going against city law. We’re a charter home rule city. We’re not a township, or a village. We’re a full fledged city with a full charter. The county has no role in this in terms of the number of dogs,� said Seaman. Pope asked how the county could charge Oregon residences for tags for more than three dogs when the city limits the number of dogs that can be on the premises. “The city does have a different set of rules than the county,� said Seferian. We sometimes share the same rules.� Still, Pope said the county should not sell Oregon residents tags for dogs that exceed the city’s legal limit. Seferian said the county may not know all the tags sold to an individual are for dogs at a specific residence. “All the tags are going to the same residence,� said Pope. “That’s something we can try to deal with,� said Seferian. “But that is not their responsibility.� Withdraws application Since George Pope was within the legal limit with three dogs, he could withdraw his application and council could accept his withdrawal, said Seferian.

“He did wish for more than three dogs at one time. It was the only avenue – to apply for that kennel permit,� said Seferian. “We understood he wasn’t going to run a kennel. But by having that kennel permit, it would give him the right to legally own more than three dogs.� George Pope agreed to withdraw his application. “I might as well,� he said at the council meeting. “There’s no sense fighting it because I’m going to lose anyway.� Some of Pope’s neighbors at the Planning Commission said they were opposed to the Special Use Permit because of what they said was the noise and smell from the property. Pope told council that the dogs were with him and his wife for “emotional support,� after the loss of his seven-year-old daughter in a house fire two years ago. Both he and his daughter, he said, were pulled from the fire. He was revived. His daughter did not survive. “None of you could tell me in this room that you buried a daughter at seven-yearsold,� said Pope. “Her youngest brother heard her scream `Get me outta here, get me out.’ Me and her both died on the front lawn. They brought me back. They brought her back. She didn’t survive. I did. And I wish to God that he would have taken me instead of her. I am tired of fighting all my life. So yes, I’m going to withdraw everything.� Council President Dennis Walendzak said he sympathized with Pope’s loss. “But we do have an ordinance on the books,� said Walendzak.

Oak Harbor

Primp your pit

Farmers Market sparks interest in local wares By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press Cooler temperatures helped make the trek through the Farmers Market in downtown Oak Harbor a pleasant experience Saturday. A light stream of customers checked out everything from the vegetable and baked good booths to quilts and bees wax products under clear, blue skies and 75-degree temps. Young families toured the tents, piling their purchases into the open pockets of their children’s strollers. Oak Harbor is new to the Farmers Market trend. The event is only four years old in the village and has changed locations twice. The market first debuted at Flat Iron Park on the village’s main drag. “It gave us a lot of exposure but semi traffic was pretty heavy through there,” said Valerie Winterfield, executive director of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce. Last year, the market moved a couple of blocks away to the quieter Adolphous Kraemer Park, across from the U.S. Post Office. Ample parking is also available. At the St. Paul Lutheran Church tent, Ottawa County commissioner Jodi Regal joined her fellow parishioners in the sale of cookies, breads and other goodies. The cutout cookies decorated like beach sandals were melt-in-mouth delicious and attracted a lot of attention. The treasured recipe is used when the church bakers make cookies shaped like apples for the annual Oak Harbor Apple Festival. “That used to be the only time you could get those cookies. Now they show up and sell them at each farmers market,” Winterfield said. Employees of Floro’s Market located just east of the village piled tables with fresh watermelon, tomatoes, cucumbers, cherries and heads of cabbage as big as basketballs. Nearby, the Haar family sold garden goodies from their farm. Donna Wendt-Elliot spent a good amount of time at the Floro’s stand, snatch-

The village councilwoman collected her four bags and headed out. She was impressed with the variety and plans another visit when the market returns on the fourth Saturday of August, September and October. Next door, Karen Daniels of Sisters Soap Ohio peddled her soaps, shampoos, facial scrubs, foot rubs and lotions fashioned out of goat’s milk to the crowd. The variety of health products lured onlookers and enticed others to buy. “This is a nice little event,” said Daniels, who lives in rural Oak Harbor. She’ll return for the rest of Oak Harbor’s 2014 schedule and hit other spots such as the Lindsey Farmers Market the second Saturday of each month.

For Star Madrigal, the market is another chance to promote the Riders Unlimited Therapy program, with hopes of stirring up cash donations. The program, located on Behlman Road, operates solely on donations and is weathering some financial troubles. The membership is participating in an Internet fundraising program. The organization is close to its $5,000 goal through the www.GoFundMe.com/902dhg website. When they reach that goal, a company will match the funding. “We are so very close,” Madrigal said. “… and it’s really needed. We’re hanging on by strings.” Oak Harbor’s remaining Farmers Markets take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug.23, Sept 27 and Oct. 25.

Eastwood school bond issue set for Nov. ballot Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Eastwood school board last week took the final step to place a bond issue on the November ballot to fund the construction of an elementary school on the main campus. If passed, the bond would generate up to $11 million for an 80,000-square-foot building to house students in kindergarten through the fifth grades now attending Pemberville and Luckey schools. The local funding would be used to leverage funds from the Ohio School Facilities Commission to meet construction costs. The school board and administration

plan to use revenue from a tax abatement agreement with Home Depot, Inc. to finance most of the district’s share of construction costs. The company will pay $675,000 annually to the district for 15 years starting in January, according to the agreement. Welker said the board expects to meet a promise to the community that a new school building can be constructed without residents realizing a net increase in the millage they are paying. A bond issue now being used to pay for an addition to the high school will be retired in 10 years. Property owners are paying 1.45 mills on that. Also, a permanent improvement levy of 1.1 mills is expiring and school officials plan to ask for a levy of only 0.5-mill to replace its revenues.

Garage project starting Construction is scheduled to start this week on a new building in the Eastwood School District to replace a structure destroyed in January by a fire. The administration anticipates a construction cost of more than $700,000. A Jan. 25 fire gutted the building shared by a bus garage and the central office. There were no buses in the garage at the time of the blaze but there were two other service vehicles equipped with plows and a forklift in the building. Superintendent Brent Welker said the district has received about $500,000 to date from the insurance company and he expects a final settlement when the construction project is complete.

Through Aug. 29, the Northwestern Water and Sewer District’s Maintenance Department will be flushing and testing fire hydrants the area of Lake Township (served by Oregon water), parts of Northwood, and the Village of Millbury. The testing area is bounded by the Wood County line to the north and east, Drouillard Road and I-280 to the west and south to the Village of Millbury at SR 795. Testing will be performed between the hours of 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. . Those who experience rust on clothing may obtain rust-removing chemicals through the district’s office, located at 12560 Middleton Pike, Bowling Green. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Last year, almost 40 percent of dogs admitted to the Lucas County Dog Warden were pit bulls and pit bull mixes, with only about 15 percent claimed by their owners. Unfortunately, pit bulls end up in shelters in large numbers due to myths and negative publicity, making them one of the most common types in shelters and therefore one of the most euthanized. Humane Ohio is helping to solve the problem by participating in PetSmart Charities’ “Primp Your Pit ” August spay/neuter campaign. This year, PetSmart Charities is providing more than $388,000 in funding so that 57 animal welfare organizations across the nation can perform 6,796 spay/neuter surgeries on pit bull terriers and pit bull mixes during the month of August.

Council questions Oak Harbor revitalization projects By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press Leaders of the cash-strapped Village of Oak Harbor say they aren’t rushing to commit money to extravagant downtown revitalization projects as some believe. Council members clearly stated that message repeatedly during their recent July meeting, according to taped recordings of the summer session. Councilman Don Douglas had just concluded a six-month synopsis of the village’s financial health when the issue came up. Douglas noted, at the mid-year point, the village is spending 4 percent below its revenue flow. But Douglas warned council it needed to keep its eye on upcoming issues that

could change the forecast. He encouraged the working group charged with monitoring the health insurance plan and rates get moving on an employee wellness program suggested last year. Then he turned attention to the state grants waiting in the wings for the $140,000 proposed fire dock renovation project. “We do have this grant option looming at the hand launch. We need to decide whether to accept,� Douglas said. Two state programs, Nature Works and the Land and Conservation Fund, have approved nearly $95,000 in grants for Oak Harbor toward the project. The village would have to come up with $20,000 to $30,000 in matching funds, according to Village Administrator Randy Genzman. “We have to decide. It could potential-

ly be a pretty big black eye if we milk this thing all the way to the end and then pull out,� Douglas said of Oak Harbor’s status in the highly competitive grant programs. That discussion opened the debate on the revitalization effort under way within the village. What triggered the lively talk was a recent article submitted to area newspapers that led to coverage from at least two television stations. The stories centered on the temporary docks installed for the second time in two years and the effort to attract jet skiers and other tourists. The stories, however, drifted into the proposed reclassification of the Downtown Revitalization Overlay District under review by the zoning committee on the recommendation of the volunteer Downtown Revitalization Committee. The changes are expected to pave the way for waterfront upgrades such as walkways, gazebos and perhaps even an amphitheatre along the Portage River. The stories gave the false perception that the village is fronting the cash for all these changes, said Councilwoman Donna Wendt-Elliot. At least that’s was the consensus of residents who had complained to her about the projects. “My impression is that it was all driven by the chamber,� Mayor Bill Eberle said of the stories. Genzman said the village has no connection to funding for any of those projects mentioned. “But the people don’t believe that,� Wendt-Ellliot said. The village is only looking to upgrade the fire dock, located near the temporary docks purchased last year. Revitalization is part of the reason for the upgrade. But so is safety, Councilman Jon Fickert pointed out. Portions of the fire dock are crumbling and present possible hazards as the village attempts to attract more people to that area, he said. “Trust me people,� Wendt-Elliot said. “I am not against revitalization.� She also complained that the story said the committee was directly charged with providing funding.

She noted the village, in good faith, paid $15,000 for those docks and was promised a return from donations sought by the committee. To date, only $100 has been paid back, Fiscal Officer Debbie Carpenter told the group when questioned about the numbers. Wendt-Elliot further lamented that most businesses, other than bars and food sites, don’t stay open past 5 p.m. on weekends. “This can’t be a partnership if the businesses won’t even stay open on weekends,� Wendt-Elliot said. Furthermore, she said, the village cannot even get a large number of the business community to water flowers in the flower pots in front of the stores. The committee bought the pots but the village buys the flowers and ends up maintaining them. There are a few exceptions, she noted, like the vibrant flower display located outside Oak Harbor Hardware. “Our employees are going around watering these flower pots. We are doing this for business people and they aren’t even helping,� she groused. “How is this benefitting the village?� she asked. Sue Rahm agreed. Residents tell her, she said, if the village has so much money lower the utility bills instead of worrying about the downtown district. Joe Elliot, a new businessman in town, stood to tell council he personally would commit to taking care of flower pots near his stretch of Water Street. Council thanked him. Bringing the docks to the Portage River was all a part of an effort to rev up interest in the downtown, Fickert and Councilman Jim Seaman reminded the others. And people are using the docks, Fickert said. “We are going to fix this speck of land and it’s time for the private sector to step up,� Fickert added. Wendt-Elliot said she understood that. However, village leaders needed to get the word out that any major projects proposed along the river would require investment from the businesses – not the village.

Donations needed for rescued horses By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Veterinarian care and food for three surviving horses seized from a Woodville Township farm will cost thousands of dollars, according to the Humane Society of Sandusky County, which is asking for donations to help cover expenses. Animal cruelty investigator Kelly Askins described the case as “the worst case of horse abuse” she’s ever seen. Four counts of second degree misdemeanor animal cruelty and one first degree misdemeanor count have been filed against Michelle Proch, Route 23, in Sandusky County Court District 2 in Woodville. “We’ve dealt with thin horses and skinny horses before but this is the definition of emaciated,” Askins said. One of the four horses was euthanized. Investigators described the condition of two horses as thin but not in critical condition. They have been placed in a foster home. A third horse, named Silky, was initially given a 60 percent chance of surviving and was to undergo more testing to determine if there is an underlying medical condition. “Right now she is doing well. She is eating and drinking but she is not even close to being out of the woods yet,” said Shannon May, an investigator. The horse will need to gain several hundred pounds, May said, in what will be a slow process. “You want to put the weight back on them slowly, you just can’t beef them up. That will cause other health problems.” Askins said Thursday that Silky had five teeth extracted at a cost of about $1,000. The horse also was diagnosed with a heart murmur but that condition was apparently caused by severe dehydration, “She’s gaining weight faster than any of us expected her to,” Askins said. “It was definitely a grocery issue.” There were also four dogs on the property. While in generally good condition, there was no shelter for them outside and no water, she added. A passerby alerted authorities to the horses. Monetary donations should be sent to: The Humane Society of Sandusky County, Attn: Animal Cruelty Division, 2520 Port Clinton Rd., Fremont, O. 43420. PayPal links are listed on the humane society’s website and Facebook page. To donate hay or grain contact Askins at 419-603-3313.

Supporting seniors To the editor: What is taking Oregon so long to have a seniors meeting? We were told it would be July 2013 – now they say August 2014. There are 76 percent seniors living in the Navarre area. The surveyor said the center should be on Dustin Road or Navarre Avenue. I’ve worked 10 years, since January 2004. The Area Office on Aging offered $1 million if Oregon would match $1 million. They held it for five years and Oregon didn’t take interest in seniors. I was told council wouldn’t match the funds; $750,000 went to Toledo to build City Park. That was our loss. We need one or two council members who are about seniors. It seems they are all for recreation. These people are voted in to help all of Oregon, not just a few. We are the second largest city in Lucas County. We have the least for seniors. The only wellness center we know of is Sylvania Senior Center and the taxpayers pay for that. Most just do blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol checks. Our neighborhood would like to thank John Szozda for his article in The Press. Oregon needs a new council to make our city grow. It’s sad to read we are the 10th most boring city in Ohio. The skating rink and bowling alley are gone. We need more retail stores. Oregon would be surprised how many people would shop here, including Northwood residents. The retirees with good pensions leave for other areas or Florida. So many people have said, “Oregon has been stagnant for over 20 years.” We hope Oregon will grow. Doris and Glenn Levy

A nice tribute To the editor: I want to thank the letterwriter who praised the Village of Walbridge. My husband and I moved here 54 years ago to raise a family. We love living in the village – a perfect town to raise a family. I feel very safe here in the village. We may not always agree on how things are done here, but we are able to express that to those who are in charge, and they are responsible for fixing the problems that come up. I wish more people would get more involved in running for office so that they can share new ideas in making it even better. It is our village, so let us all work together and make things happen. Joann Schiavone Walbridge

Correction In the July 28 issue of The Press, the article “Oregon may require installation of city sidewalks,” should have said residents will receive formal notices by certified mail that requires them to have damaged sidewalks repaired within 45 days if council approves a resolution on July 28. The Press regrets the error.

Gary Chapman Perrysburg "'Brisket and BBQ sauce, cheese and grilled onions... Also known as the Hercules Burger at Red Robin."

Russ Swartz Forest "Ketchup, a lot of grease, onions, relish, American cheese and a big juicy ripe mater (tomato)!"

Last Week's Results Do you feel compelled to give money to people holding signs along the road asking for money? 65% No, I'm not sure they're legitimate. 22% No, I'm afraid they will use it for drugs. 11% Yes, I feel good about helping someone down on their luck. 2% Yes, we could all end up like that.

You’re never going to be as young as today It’s fascinating how often, “I’m too old,” is used as an excuse to not start or complete goals. Even more interesting is how this justification is heard from people of all ages, from those in their 20’s on up. This excuse persists in spite of numerous wonderful examples of outstanding goals being reached by people of all ages. Harlan Sanders started Kentucky Fried Chicken when he was 65. Laura Ingalls Wilder published her first “Little House on the Prairie” book at 65. Grandma Moses started painting at 76. Many marathon runners are in their 70’s or older. The oldest was still running when he was 100. There are first time college graduates in their 80’s. Many people change careers in their 60’s or later. These people never consider their age to be a limiting factor in any way. They truly appreciate each day as the precious gift it is. They maximize the potential embodied in each new day. They always find reasons to succeed. They never make any excuses to justify failure. It’s one’s spirit that matters. Attitude doesn’t age. You can always have a jubilant mindset. Reconnect with the outlook you had as a young child. Every day was filled with a sense of wonder. You were constantly curious about everything. You always asked how and why. You sought out every possible new experience. You had no fear of failure. The road ahead is much more important than the road behind. You are never going to be as young as you are today is simply a fact. What you do with it is up to

you. Time goes by regardless of how you spend it. It’s a real shame if you squander your future because of false beliefs. So what if you are told you are too old? Do you really want to live your life based on the opinions of others? If you believe you are too old, reread the paragraphs above. What you have or have not done in the past doesn’t matter. It’s what you are going to do today and tomorrow which shapes the rest of your life. Today is the first day of the rest of your life is an absolute truth. If you are thinking old, stop it. If you are acting old, stop it. People who think and act old also feel old.

Reverting to the “I’m just being realistic” excuse concerning aging never works to your benefit. All it does is enable you to justify acting and feeling old. And while you are doing this, people all around you will be defying their ages. Then there are people who will argue that it’s a fact that their bodies are just not the same as when they were younger. While this may be true in a relative sense, your spirit does have a significant direct connection to how you feel physically. When you are regularly focused on the things you believe you can no longer do because of your age, both your mind and body respond to meet your expectations. This process creates a negative self-fulfilling prophesy. Don’t think old. Stay young at heart, mind, body and spirit. Keep active physically and mentally. Keep your body moving rather than becoming sedentary. Exercise your mind by learning something new every day. Incorporate humor into your daily routine. Get involved with new activities. Explore and investigate. Time goes by regardless of what you do with it. Seize each day. Have fun. Always remember that you’ll never be as young as you are today.

Oregon: A boring city or just misunderstood? There must be 50 ways to stave off boredom in Oregon, Ohio. I thought about this after reading a recent Press story about the city placing 10th on a list of the state’s most boring locales. Too many fast food stops, not enough higher-end eateries, too many old people, not enough young people, too much quiet, not enough night-life, according to a survey by Movato, a real estate blog. That assessment may be true, but it also means Oregon is a family-friendly refuge with a low crime rate, good schools and ample recreational choices. And, as it isn’t walled-in and Oregonians can slip out of town in their own cars they can drive a few miles to sate their boredom. Here are 50 family friendly ways to do that: 1. Go bird watching at the Lake Erie Marshes during the Biggest Week in America Birding. This is the Warbler Capital of the World. 2. Fish for walleye or perch in Lake Erie. Port Clinton is the Walleye Capital of the World. 3. Fish the walleye run on the Maumee with fishermen from all over the U.S. 4. Canoe the scenic Portage River 5. Windsurf Maumee Bay, home of the fastest flat-water sailing in Ohio 6. Parasail Maumee Bay 7. Walk Pearson Park, the last remnant of the Great Black Swamp. 8. Fish for trout at the Pearson Park Pond. 9. Attend a pioneer day at the 1867

Birmingham festival celebrates diversity By Tammy Walro Entertainment Editor twalro@presspublications.com A three-member cultural delegation of Hungarian musicians and an artist will make their first visit to the United States in connection with the 40th annual Birmingham Ethnic Festival set for Aug. 16 and 17 in East Toledo. Singer Janos Antal, accordion player and singer Jozsef Bakos – both senior members of the Parlando Choir – and folk artist Izbéki Gabriella Cseuz will demonstrate their skills at this year’s “Weekend in the Old Country” celebration, which will run noon to 10 p.m. Saturday (Aug. 16) and noon to 9 p.m. Sunday (Aug. 17) along Consaul Street.

“

Children’s games and activities will be offered in the Tony Packo’s parking lot.

“

Cseuz is bringing two small exhibitions with her –a small exhibition of folk art from Algyo and Csongrad County artists, as well as a display of the artwork from quilters created in her association. She will also teach the traditional embroidery of the South Plain. The three-member cultural delegation is coming here from Csongrad County, which has been a Lucas County sister county since 1966. Their visit is part of a U.S. tour with stops in Ohio, Michigan and Illinois, designed to support HungarianAmerican organizations and help preserve the Hungarian heritage here. As always, this year’s celebration will feature popular Hungarian foods like chicken paprikas, a “Hunky Turkey” (sand-

wich of roasted bacon), stuffed cabbage, homemade kolbasz/sausage sandwiches, cabbage and noodles, palacsinta (crepes) and a variety of other pastries and food. Ethnic dance groups will perform both Saturday and Sunday on three main stages at the St. Stephen’s/Hungarian Club site, Calvin United and VFW 4906 on Consaul Street. Scheduled performers include Kis Szivek Dancers of Detroit, Holzhacher Baum Schuplattlers and Molly’s Irish Dancers. A tanchaz (dance workshop) is scheduled Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Calvin United lot. Other performers include Echoes of Poland, Matt Keeler (Folk Musician), Csipke Ensemble, Dobi Gabi & Magyar Trixie, and the Gyanta Ensemble. Returning to the festival will be one of the premiere Hungarian folk music groups in the U.S., the New Jersey-based Gyanta (Rosin) Orchestra. In addition, Shout!, Bobby May & Dry Bones Revivival, Tru Brew and Big Ticket will take the stage to entertain festival-goers. The Toledo Szeged Committee will be selling items at craft booths along with such vendors as Magyar Marketing and NY Pince. Children’s games and activities will be offered in the Tony Packo’s parking lot. A special ceremony at the start of the day’s events Sunday on the steps of St. Stephen’s Church will include a flagraising, recognition of the Hungarian delegation and other special guests, and the announcement of the recipient of the Birmingham Friend of the Neighborhood Award. The Beer Keg Trophy will also be presented to the winner of the annual Waiters’ Race. The 19th annual race – which will be held Friday at 7 p.m. as the unofficial opening to the festival – involves relay teams of four waiters carrying trays with a full pitcher and two glasses of beer as they run. Neighborhood festivities will begin with a performance by The Cake Walkin’ Jass Band. Refreshments will be available at VFW Post 4906 before and after the race.

Festival promises to be “The Main Event” in E. Toledo The East Toledo Creative Corridor –the Main/Starr region that is seeing a surge in public art and creativity – will be the location for the first East Toledo art and music festival, titled “The Main Event,” Sept. 13 from 2-10 p.m. The festival, which will be held on Main Street from Front to Fourth streets, will feature two outdoor stages, three indoor music venues, fine art pop-up galleries, food trucks, and beer gardens. The area, which has been the longstanding epicenter for Toledo’s live music scene, recently experienced a surge in public art. This new identify has been kickstarted by the combined efforts of numerous East Toledo music and art businesses in conjunction with city officials. The festival will feature a diverse music line-up that will include artists such as Guided By Voices, The Polka Floyd, Chicago Afrobeat Project, The Hard Lessons and nearly 50 more. The fine art pop-up galleries will feature a wide array of local and regional artists in multiple underutilized spaces along Main Street, according to Amber LeFever, co owner of LeSo Art Gallery, located at 1527 Starr Ave. Organizers are currently looking for volunteers for “The Main Event.” Interested parties may email volunteer@easttoledocc. com. Other inquiries may should be directed to contact@easttoledocc.com. For more info visit EastToledoCC.com or facebook.com/TheMainEventFestival.

“Women in the Wind” In 1979, Becky Brown took out a newspaper ad in Toledo inviting lady motorcycle riders to join her for a scenic ride along the Maumee River. That simple ad brought out almost a dozen ladies at a time when it was uncommon for women to ride motorcycles. Now 35 years later, the ride has grown into the largest organization of its kind for women riders with more than 100 chapters in four countries. “Women in the Wind” is celebrating their 35th anniversary in Toledo Aug. 7-9 with more than 250 women members expected. Activities will be centered at the Holiday Inn French Quarter in Perrysburg starting with a Hog Roast on Thursday, a ride to Grand Rapids on Friday and meetings and seminars on Saturday. WITW attributes its success to the diversity of its members by allowing riders of all makes of motorcycles as well as welcoming chapters to be active in all organizational processes.

The trees most in need are small (1 to 3 inches in diameter) and have been planted less than three years. A slow and thorough watering is best to allow water to soak well down into the soil. Soaker hoses looped around the area at the base of the tree work well. Trees generally need 5 gallons of water per inch of trunk diameter plus an extra 5 gallons weekly. So a 2 inch diameter tree needs 15 gallons of water per week. A way to avoid water waste by forgetting to turn off the hose is drilling two small holes in a 5 gallon bucket and let it drain. Place the bucket next to the trunk. Placing a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the tree base area helps to keeps roots cool and moist. However, leave a 2-3 inch free area of mulch around the trunk. Think crater rather than volcano for shaping the mulch. If a property owner detects special problems with a Street Tree, contact the Oregon Department of Streets (419)698-7016

Oregon is an official TREE CITY. Because of this year’s unusual dryness, we need and are appreciative of any help you can provide in helping keep our trees healthy and looking well. Unless substantial rainfall occurs within the immediate future, tree watering will be necessary until mid to late fall.

AUGUST 4, 2014

Clay junior Matt Stencel pins his way to Fargo sweep By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Clay junior Matt Stencel had never competed at the Cadet Nationals before. Obviously, he was prepared. Stencel, who placed second at the state wrestling tournament in Columbus in March, pinned all five opponents in the first period in the Greco events, and he easily went 5-0 in the freestyle events to win two first place titles at 195 pounds at the ASICS Vaughan Cadet Nationals on July 19-26 in Fargo, N.D. “I wanted to take first,� Stencel said. “I planned on taking first. I took second in the state (as a sophomore) wrestling against seniors, so I figured I’d be fine (in Fargo).� Stencel helped Ohio take third in the freestyle team standings and finish fourth in the Greco team standings. He was one of just two Ohio wrestlers – the other was 285-pounder Kevin Vough from Elyria – to win one of the 17 weight classes in the Greco events. The 6-foot-2 Stencel, 16, was on the mat for a total of 5 minutes, 45 seconds in five matches in the Greco portion of the tournament. “Greco is throwing (opponents), so you get them to their back and then I just pin them,� Stencel said. “I don’t have to worry about defending my legs. I’m taller and I have a lot of leverage on kids.� Stencel’s Greco championship finals match against Wyatt Harden of Michgan was no contest. Stencel pinned Harden in

Matt Stencel 58 seconds. “I didn’t really watch him before, but it worked out from the beginning of the match,� Stencel said. “I was kind of surprised. I looked at my coach (Jacob Kasper) and got (Harden) in a headlock. I looked at my coach and kind of smirked, and I knew

because I had gotten it before.� Stencel didn’t pin his way through the freestyle portion of the Cadet Nationals, but he won handily just the same. “That was a little bit harder,� Stencel said. “I wrestled the No. 11 kid in the nation in the semis. My first match, I ‘teched’

a kid 10-0. My second match I got a Pennsylvania junior high state champ and beat him 11-0. I had a 12-second pin in my quarterfinals match, and I beat a kid 16-10 in the semifinals.� Stencel won the title match over Kobe Woods of Indiana by a 13-4 margin. “It was 4-4 going into the third period, and he got tired and I didn’t,� Stencel said. “I almost teched him, but the refs didn’t confirm my two points. It would have been 15-4.� Stencel, whose parents, Kim and Earnest, attended the tournament, said winning the freestyle championship meant more to him. “This is the biggest high school tournament in the world,� Stencel said. “Winning the freestyle is more like winning folk style. I was more pleased with that. It helped me with getting a college scholarship. Both of them (Greco and freestyle) help, but freestyle is more like collegiate wrestling.� Stencel earned All-America wrestling honors for his achievement. “It feels pretty good,� he said. “I’m the best I could get, I just have to keep improving. There’s always room for improvement. Next goal is just to win state.� He said winning two titles at the Cadet Nationals helped ease the disappointment of taking second at 182 pounds at the state tournament on March 1. “I still want to get the state title,� Stencel said. “That’s always been a goal. Even though this is better, I still want to get that state title. That’s the next thing I have to work for, right after football season.�

Dylan D’Emilio’s national runner-up finish is no surprise By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

“

I was expecting to be up there in the top three. I’ve been doing a lot to get ready for it.

“

Genoa wrestling coach Bob Bergman wasn’t surprised to see how well Dylan D`Emilio fared at the ASICS Vaughan Cadet Nationals on July 19-26 in Fargo, N.D. “He’s been to a lot of national events before,� Bergman said. D’Emilio, 14, who has been wrestling since age 4, took second place at 94 pounds in the freestyle event at the prestigious Cadet Nationals. D’Emilio won four out of five matches and helped the Ohio team take third place (51 points) behind Illinois (88) and Pennsylvania (58). D’Emilio won his first match by pin and earned a technical fall in his semifinal match. “I thought I did pretty well,� said D’Emilio, who was accompanied by his father, Dominic, at the tournament. “I was expecting to be up there in the top three. I’ve been doing a lot to get ready for it.� D’Emilio lost to an older wrestler, second-year Cadet Nicolas Aguilar of California, 11-0, in the title match at 94 pounds. “He’s one year older and he just controlled the match and controlled the tieups,� D’Emilio said. “I didn’t know much about him. I (realize) I just need to stay in better position and work on my tie-ups

March and went 7-0 at both the USA MS National Duals in April and the USA Cadet Freestyle Duals in June. D’Emilio was a USA Ohio feestyle state champion in April and won a title at the USA Central Regional Championships in May. His older brother, Damian, who will be a junior at Genoa this fall, was a state qualifier at 106 pounds last spring. Dylan will take his freshman classes online in 2014-15 and then return to Genoa and compete on the Comets’ wrestling team as a sophomore. “It is a family decision and we support it,� Bergman said. “We look forward to having Dylan in 2016. He’s a great kid. As good a wrestler as he is, he’s just as great of a kid. He’s an outstanding wrestler and he has a great future ahead of him.�

Rachel Albright at Eastern Lanes. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean)

Genoa bowler

Albright among nation’s best By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Genoa native Rachel Abright came‌ this‌close to becoming a member of the Junior Team USA bowling team earlier this month. The problem? She’s too old. Albright, who turns 21 on Aug. 17, took second place – high enough to qualify for Junior Team USA – at the Junior Gold Championships held July 14-19 in Buffalo, N.Y. The Junior Gold Championships are held at various sites each year and hosts the best youth bowlers from the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. There are three divisions for boys and girls: U-12, U-15 and U-20. “They have qualifying through different tournaments,â€? said Albright, who will be a junior this fall at Ursuline College in Pepper Pike, Ohio. “I qualified through the Junior Tournament Bowlers Association in Ohio. The tournaments started last August through June, about every three weeks. I qualified last fall. This was my fifth year (at the Junior Gold Championships) and I’ve placed higher each year.â€? This month, Albright took second place out of 604 U-20 bowlers. Practice sessions for the Junior Gold Championships were held July 11-12, with qualifying beginning July 14-16. “We bowled five games each day on different lane patterns and they made the cut to the top 87 going into Thursday,â€? Albright said. “We bowled five games Thursday and they went to the top 48, then to the top 16, which went into match play. I did two rounds of match play on Thursday night and two on Friday. After 25 games of qualifying I was in eighth place, and through match play I went undefeated until the last round, when I got knocked into the loser’s bracket. I beat the winner of the loser’s bracket to go into the finals match.â€? Albright’s opponent in the finals was 16-year-old Breanna Clemmer, of Clover, S.C. “It was two-game total pinfall,â€?

Albright said. “I had to beat her twice in order to win.� Clemmer rolled a two-game total of 387 to beat Albright by 34 pins. “I was up on her by 18 pins after the first game, and she came back with 220-something to beat me,� Albright said. “She was more consistent. It was hard for me to get anything going.� The top two placers are supposed to earn a spot on the Junior Team USA, but Albright was too old (by five months) to qualify for the team. “We have to follow the international rules, because the Junior Team USA travels internationally,� Albright said. “I was one of the only ones who knew (about the age limit). It was more disappointing to me. It didn’t hit me until I got as far as I could, that I could have received (the invitation).� Albright said she was happy with how well she performed during the week. She received a $4,000 scholarship for second place. “I worked really hard all week through the qualifying games and match play,� she said. “I kept my head in there. I got second and I was happy with that, and I got a $4,000 scholarship.� Albright competes on the women’s bowling team at Ursuline College and holds school records for high average, high series and high game, among others. This year she earned second team honors on the National College Bowling Coaches Association AllAmerica team. She said she had the seventh-highest average nationally (199) for collegiate women. “It was pretty cool,� Albright said of earning All-America status. “I worked my butt off all year. I think I deserved it.� Albright earned honorable mention Bowler of the Year honors by the International Bowling Media Association last season, and she was named the most valuable bowler of the AHIBC at Ursuline College after posting a 202 season average. Albright, whose mother, Penny Keeler, owns Eastern Lanes in Northwood, is studying nursing at Ursuline College.

Purple & Gold game first step towards Waite renewal By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

“

A couple of those young receivers got thrown into the fire and played well.

“

New football coach Dan Chipka is looking to turn things around at Waite. So far, he believes he’s on the right track. Chipka took part in his first Purple & Gold Game, a contest between the Indians’ players that culminates a 10-day minicamp before the start of two-a-days. The game featured the first team offense against the scout team and the first team defense competing against the scout team on the opposite side. However, there was much to it than a football game. The event at Mollenkopf Stadium was also a fundraiser that included a hog roast, grilled chicken, and raffles to raise money for the program. The event has already created a buzz within the East Toledo community for the upcoming season, which begins on August 29 against Genoa. Approximately 500 to 700 people attended the Purple & Gold game and cheered on the team, watching as the offense scored four touchdowns. One of the highlights was a 35-yard touchdown catch by wide receiver Ronnie Sanders, who dove to make the grab off a pass from returning quarterback Jeremy Pratt. “Things went real well,” said Chipka, a 2006 graduate of Anthony Wayne. “I was pleased with the turnout and the support we got. People were really enjoying themselves, cheering on the big plays and creating that excitement and buzz that I was hoping to create. It’s great for the kids because it’s the last day of minicamp and it allows them to let their hair down and show people what they’ve been working on.” Although Chipka was pleased with what his offense did, he feels there is room for improvement. “We did fairly well,” he said. “There are things we have to clean up. We executed fairly well (and) the scout team gave us a great look. A couple of those young receivers got thrown into the fire and played well.” Chipka was especially pleased with the play of Pratt and Sanders. “(Pratt) showed a lot of leadership,”

The Purple & Gold event was more than a football game — it included a hog roast fundraiser at Mollenkopf Stadium. Chipka said. “There were times when he had to extend the play and he hit the receiver. He made a couple plays throwing on the run hitting receivers and they may have been third down conversions. One of our older wide receivers came down with food poisoning and Ronnie stepped up and did a nice job out there.” Chipka, who previously served as an assistant at Bowsher, is implementing a new, multi-faceted offense that features triple-option principles, similar to what Georgia Tech runs. The offense will also employ some of the concepts of Gus Malzahn’s offense at Auburn. Obviously, it’s a lot for the kids to take in. “They’re doing a great job,” Chipka said. “We don’t have the pads on yet, so everything gets a little more intense and you start to not recall the plays as well when you put the pads on. We’re practicing at a very high tempo, but we’re not overloading the players with too much information. We’re moving at a casual pace through the playbook, but we’re

practicing at a blazing tempo. I think that is the recipe for success as far as installing our offense and defense and special teams.” Offensively, the Indians will utilize two wide receivers, a running back, a tight end and a hybrid player who splits time between running back and receiver. While changes could be made in the month ahead, the offense likely features Pratt at quarterback, Sanders and Diondre Irish at receiver with Kelvin Downer as the hybrid. Nate Houle is at running back and Anthony Ashford at tight end. The line includes the likes of Dornae Higgs, Jovan Sanson, Nick Jensen, Noah Paprocki, Dakota Stevenson and Mark Boone. Defensively, Waite will feature numerous looks in an attempt to keep the opposition off balance. “We’ll be running a 4-2-5 with multiple looks,” Chipka said. “At times it will look like a 4-4 or a 4-3 or a true 4-2 or we might jump into a nickel package. It might look like a 3-3-5 at times.”

The defensive line includes Higgs, Sanson and Paprocki, the linebacking corps is comprised of Houle, Jensen, Ashford, J.J. Hammons and Eduardo Jackson. Downer, M.C. Harris, Israel Diaz make up the secondary. Diaz and Downer will be the primary hybrid players, rotating between the linebacker and secondary positions. Chipka, who enjoyed success at Bowsher last year as the Rebels went 8-2 and won the Toledo City League title, took a chance by coming to Waite, which has struggled in recent years. But Chipka, who played NCAA Division III college football at Bluffton University, thought about the opportunity presented to him, and he realized the opportunity for success was too good to pass up. I think it was an opportunity that appealed to me at first, and the more I thought about it, I fell in love with the idea of becoming Waite’s head coach,” he said. “The community is so tight-knit. The support they’ve given their athletic teams has been phenomenal. If we can turn it around, there is no ceiling.”

Four Cardinals help power district runner-up By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Rob Bekier took his role seriously as one of the “old� guys on the ConnWeissenberger American Legion Post 587 baseball team this summer. Bekier, one of four Cardinal Stritch graduates to play for the Hawks this season, said, “I liked being one of the older guys and having younger guys look up to me.� “This was a very good team, with very good chemistry,� he said. “They were always fun games and everybody wanted to win. It was just a good group of guys. This was way better than last year. We had pitching - very good pitching – and we had timely hitting.� The Hawks, coached by Cardinal Stritch assistant Dave Harris, finished 3114 while playing in eight 19-and-under tournaments and winning the Pemberville tournament and finishing second in tournaments in Chillicothe and Blissfield and at the Ohio American Legion District 1 tournament. They lost to defending state champion Napoleon in the district championship. The Hawks had 23 players, all under age 19. The roster included former Stritch players Bekier, Jake Empie, Chase Dearing and Brooks Gasser. “This was the most fun I’ve had with a team in quite a while,� said Harris, who has coached baseball for 43 years. “We went to Chillicothe and had 19 kids show up. That’s a long drive to go away for a weekend to play baseball. We went to Fort Wayne, Ind., and we had 20 kids show up. That was fantasic. They love to play. It was a fun group, with no cliques. They just got along well and pulled for each other. We had a fun summer.� The Hawks’ season ended on Tuesday after losing to the Gendran (Mich.) Hitmen, 3-1, in the semifinals of the Wolves World Series, played in Toledo. The Hawks made the finals of the Ohio American Legion District 1 tournament, which was held July 16-20, and were a win away from qualifying for the state Legion tournament in Lancaster. “If you’re playing American Legion, that’s the one (tournament) you have to

(Press file photo by Doug Karns/KateriSchools.org) play well in,� Harris said. “It’s a difficult tournament, with nine-inning games. We were one of the younger teams in American Legion this year.� Empie, Dearing and Gasser all graduated from Stritch in 2014. Empie played third base and pitched for the Hawks, going 1-1 and throwing a one-hitter. Empie hit .329 with 23 runs, 15 RBI and one home run. “Jake’s a good hitter,� Harris said. “That’s his strongpoint. He hits with power and is a good third baseman. He’s going to Ohio State-Lima next month to play baseball.� Dearing, who also played outfield, pitched 14 innings and went 1-1 with a 4.75 ERA for the Hawks. “Chase didn’t get a lot of pitching this summer, three or four games� Harris said. “He just wasn’t around to pitch. We always tell the guys we run a pretty loose team, and if they have to work or do some other things, you have to do them. We carry a lot of players on our roster because we know there are going to be some guys missing.�

The Press Box

Gasser played left field and also pitched, going 3-1 with a 2.85 ERA in 31 innings. He threw a no-hitter against Latrobe, Pa., in the Chillicothe tournament and also tossed a four-hitter at the Fort Wayne tournament. “He has a great arm, but he’s a little wild sometimes,� Harris said. “When he’s on – he pitched a two-hitter in Fort Wayne – he’s really good. He’s been working hard. He played football and basketball at Stritch, and he needs to take time to work on pitching.� Bekier, a 2013 Stritch grad, went 4-2 this season and earned the win in the finals of the Pemberville tournament, pitching all seven innings. Bekier, who threw 30 innings with a 1.50 ERA, hopes to play at Owens Community College next season. “Rob played on the team last year and he’s one of the older guys who has experience,� Harris said. “He throws strikes and threw some good games for us this year. He’s still learning how to pitch, but he really learned how to pitch this year.�

Dominique Cruz, a four-year varsity player from Northwood High School, has signed with the Owens Community College women’s soccer program. Cruz, a 5-foot-2 midfielder, joins a program that is losing two Northwood products to graduation in Jessica Grindle and Marissa Ramirez. She will be the third player from Northwood in the program’s history. Cruz earned second team AllToledo Area Athletic Conference, first team All-Northwest Ohio High School Soccer League and honorable mention All-Northwest Ohio Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association honors as a senior.

Y Child Development Receives Award

The YMCA Child Development Center at St. Charles has been awarded a ThreeStar Rating for meeting the quality standards established by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and the Ohio Department of Education. Pictured, left to right, YWCA representative Heather Dunzweiler presents the recognition banner to Eastern Community YMCA Executive Director Melanie Grohowski; YMCA/ JCC Child Development Center at St. Charles Site Director Christina Cassaubon, YMCA and JCC of Greater Toledo Child Development Vice President Sarah Otis; and YMCA/JCC Early Education Specialist Ann Newton.

“American Pickers” inspired couple Mary Lou and Mike Springer found a hobby they could enjoy together and that hobby has evolved into a business. The Walbridge couple started going to garage sales some years ago and reselling the best items at their own garage sales. Later, they combed auctions, storage auctions and estate sales, but decided they accumulated too much junk and not enough saleable goods. Now, the two, inspired by the television show American Pickers, pick and choose the best items for Mary Lou’s recently opened shop on Woodville Road called Springer’s Way. Springer’s Way showcases common day items such as dining room tables, hutches, chairs etc. Many of the items can be seen on their Facebook page, Springer’s Way. The store is also a package and ship center and can ship by FedEx, UPS and Priority Mail. Both Mike and Mary Lou work full-time jobs so the store is also manned by sister-inlaw Gina Gangway and her husband Tim. Springer’s Way is located at 2801 Woodville, across from the Taco Bell. Hours are Monday through Saturday 9-6. The phone number is 567-312-4127.

Schools & Skills Tami Kwilinski, owner of Today’s Salon, has earned the designation of Board Certified Haircolorist from the American Board of Certified Haircolorists. She is one of 1980 such certified in the country. To obtain the designation she underwent four months of training and passed a test given in Chicago, Illinois. Today’s Salon is located on Woodville Road in Oregon, across from Woodville Surplus. Kwilinski is a Northwood resident.

Name change Catholic Health Partners has changed its name to Mercy Health.

The change is part of the organization’s evolution to one unified team, a spokesperson states. Mercy Health employs more than 32,000 in Ohio and Kentucky and operates more than 250 health care facilities including Mercy St. Charles in Oregon. For more info visit www.mercy.com

Employees can get small cash loans Lucas County Commissioner Pete Gerken, in partnership with credit union think tank Filene Research Institute, five credit unions, and other local organizations, last Thursday announced the Employer Sponsored Small Dollar Loan Program, an alternative to higher interest rate cash loans. According to the Filene Research Institute, nearly one-third of American workers suffer from stress over personal finances. This loan program will offer to employees loans from $300-$500 and is offered at the job site. To be eligible, an employee must be on the job for a minimum of six months. Unlike typical loans, it is not based on an employee’s credit score. Employers coordinate the six month repayment term via automatic payroll de-

duction with the partnering credit union. Successful repayment of each loan will then be reported by credit unions to credit bureaus, allowing employees to build their credit score. Participating employers will benefit from reduced turnover, tardiness, and absenteeism rates often affected by employee financial stress. Credit unions include Commodore Perry Federal Credit Union, Toledo Urban Federal Credit Union, ProMedica Federal Credit Union, Sun Federal Credit Union, and Toledo Metro Federal Credit Union. For more info, or to become a partnering employer, contact Valerie Moffitt of Toledo LISC at (419) 242-3836 or Cynthia Campbell of Filene Research Institute at (608) 661-3755.

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

essage of the

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 Village of Woodville Zoning Board of Appeals will hold a PUBLIC HEARING on Tuesday, August 26, 2014 at 7:00pm in Council Chambers at the Village Municipal Building, 530 Lime Street, Woodville, Ohio 43469. This hearing is to receive public concerns and comments on a request for variance from Shawn Hartel, 109 S. Perry Street, Woodville. Mr. Hartel would like to construct a 6ft fence in the rear and side yard that would require a 2ft height variance in the side yard to Codified Zoning Ordinance 1125.04 for this project. The Ordinance allows side lot fences not to exceed 4ft in the residential district. Also, Mr. Hartel would like to build a deck on the rear of the house that will not allow the minimum rear yard clearance to the rear lot line due to the very small rear yard existing on his lot. This would require a variance to ordinance section 1117.01.

The Northwood Planning Commission regular meeting of Monday, August 11, 2014 in the Northwood Municipal Building Council Chambers has been cancelled. There are no agenda items for review at this time.
