Oregon reacts to crisis

City closely monitoring drinking water Oregon has increased tests of its own water since high levels of a toxin were found in a water sample taken from Toledo’s Collins Park water treatment plant over the weekend.

Toledo’s detection of microcystin, which can cause abnormal liver function in humans and animals, prompted Toledo to issue a three day ban on the use of its drinking water.

Oregon has its own water treatment plant that provides water to many communities in the area, which were unaffected by the toxin affecting Toledo’s water.

Microcystin is produced by blue green algal blooms in Lake Erie. The algae is believed to be fed mainly by phosphorus from agricultural runoff. Microcystin has been found in Oregon’s samples in the past, but not in amounts that can cause harm to humans, according to Oregon’s Public Service Director Paul Roman.

In 2010, for example, microcystin was present in the finished (treated) water at 0.23 parts per billion (ppb) in Oregon, which was below the 1.0 ppb drinking water guidelines established by the World Health Organization, according to the Ohio EPA. “We will continue to monitor what’s going on in the lake in every aspect to maintain safe drinking water,” Oregon

Under a calm wind, that algae is more likely to stay floating on top of the water and not get into our intake.

But nobody can control the winds.

Mayor Mike Seferian said at a committee of the whole meeting on Monday.

Early testing Doug Wagner, Oregon’s superintendent of water treatment, started testing water samples once per week in early July, Roman told The Press before the meeting.

“At this point, knowing what’s out there, Doug goes out three times per week – Monday, Wednesday and Friday. With what happened in Toledo over the weekend, Doug did additional tests on Saturday.

Again, it was a `non-detect’ for microcystin in Oregon. Our water is safe,” said Roman.

Toledo and Oregon started checking

for microcystin in the raw (untreated) water at the same time, said Roman.

“Both entities are on top of seeing what’s in the raw water. When there are signs of microcystin, we start using activated carbon to treat it,” he said.

The water source for Toledo’s and Oregon’s water treatment plants is Lake Erie’s Western Basin, which has been plagued by large blue green algal blooms for years. The raw water intake for each community is about a mile apart.

“Our intake is a mile and a half into the lake. Toledo’s intake is just a little bit further north in the lake than ours, about two miles out. Our pump stations, which pump raw water to the treatment plants, are physically almost a mile from each other. We’re very close to each other in terms of our facilities,” said Roman.

So why did Toledo’s water have a high level of the toxin and Oregon did not?

“I don’t have an exact answer,” said Roman. “I don’t think anyone really does.

I know we treat very similarly. I can’t speak for them. The testing is very delicate.

There’s always some microcystin in the water. The question is, is it at a detectible limit?”

Reduced capacity “I think we all just got caught off guard,” Wagner told council at the meeting.

It’s almost like a sequel to a movie — one year ago, in the August 11, 2013 edition of The Press, a front page headline read, “Green slime arrives in waves.”

We were told not to be alarmed — at least, not yet. But, maybe now is the time.

Last week, about 500,000 residents who receive City of Toledo water had reason to be alarmed because their tap water was not drinkable for two days because it was contaminated by a toxin produced by an algae bloom in Lake Erie.

The green water in the western basin of Lake Erie results from an invasive algae bloom. While not all algae is harmful, the type seen in the huge blooms in the western part of Lake Erie and other inland Ohio lakes can produce nerve and liver toxins, which are especially dangerous for pets, children, the elderly and those with comprised immune systems.

Virtually all of Northwest Ohio’s groundwater drains into the western basin, and the water brings with it toxins from sewage systems and fertilizers from farm fields and residential yards. In addition, southeastern Michigan and Detroit contribute and there are other factors, like climate change.

At the National Center for Water Quality Research, scientist Laura Johnson said algal blooms tend to widen and spread out, meaning this one could migrate to another part of Lake Erie. Without action, she Continued on page 2

Our Water Supply: What’s Next?

Continued from page 1

Controlling the toxin Microcystin is the toxin found in the algae that causes health concerns. The water advisory was given last weekend for those who receive Toledo water because the U.S. EPA confirmed Toledo samples indicated levels had reached three parts per billion.

The World Health Organization Standard for microcystin is one part per billion for drinking water and 20 parts per billion for contact. Bihn says Minnesota has a drinking water standard of .041 parts per billion for at-risk populations.

“Ohio EPA’s harmful algal bloom web page has conflicting information on drinking contact and recreational contact – there are two numbers – one is six parts for drinking water contact and the other is the World Health Organization standard of 20 parts for recreational contact,” Bihn said.

“There are some indications that some

“

warned, the problems are likely to worsen.

“One of the complicating factors is that the runoff is causing this issue,” she said, “So, as climate change sort of becomes more prevalent in our region, we’re anticipating more heavy rainstorms, it’s going to be a difficult problem to fix. If we can get a hold of it now, then we’re probably going to be better situated for the future.”

Gov. John Kasich said state agencies are reviewing the incident and will continue to investigate ways to reduce the algae threats.

At the Ohio Chapter of the Sierra Club, conservation director Matt Trokan said he feels clean water is a human right and needs to be protected for the 11 million people who depend on drinking water from Lake Erie.

“We can’t ignore the environment forever,” he said. “We need to see real leadership at the state level to address this issue.”

Trokan said he believes a good first step would be to label the Maumee watershed as “distressed,” which would allow for more regulation of waste.

Lake Erie Improvement Association President Sandy Bihn says the Detroit Edison power plant and City of Detroit wastewater plants are also big contributors.

“Detroit Edison in Monroe, Michigan uses about two billion gallons of water a day heating the water in the lake area of the plant about 10 degrees,” Bihn said. “In this warm water area is where Lake Erie experiences its first sizable algal bloom in most years.

“The Detroit wastewater plant has phosphorus in its discharge as all wastewater plants do. The Detroit wastewater plant accounts for about five percent of the phosphorus load in Lake Erie. In the last permit for the Detroit plant, with the help of Ohio EPA and others, we were able to get a permit requirement to reduce the phosphorus which is amounting to about 50 tons per year less phosphorus coming into Lake Erie per year through treatment changes.”

Lake Erie Improvement Association President Sandy Bihn, an Oregon resident, is interviewed by national media during a trip to the intake valve of the Toledo water treatment plant. The trip, coordinated by the National Wildlife Federation, was taken on day two of the water advisory. (Photo courtesy of Lake Erie Improvement Association) scientists believe the drinking water standard should be .5 parts per billion. In the interests of public health, the federal government and the State of Ohio need to set microcystin standards as soon as possible.”

Bihn emailed The Press her recommendations — • The federal government should establish microcystin testing and treatment standards as well as federal drinking water and contact standards for microcystin.

• The federal and state government should be working with water plants to bring in technologies that could help.

• There needs to be federal agency coordination with “an appointed, accountable Lake Erie leader.”

• A Lake Erie Annual Report Card should be created that reports the phos-

phorus reduction amounts and sources as a percentage of the targeted needed Lake Erie phosphorus reductions.

• There should be a ban on spreading manure on frozen ground.

Warning three days prior Three days before the water advisory, Lucas County Commissioners and the Toledo-Lucas County Sustainability Commission held a roundtable discussion on climate preparedness and resilience at the National Museum of the Great Lakes in East Toledo’s Marina District.

Panelists included Bihn, an Oregon resident, and Dave Spengler, a Carroll Township resident who was an at-large member representing the Lake Erie Improvement Association.

At the roundtable, Spengler brought with him a bottle of the green water saturated with algae. The bottle was passed around by guests and media.

Spengler said the bottle was extracted at Maumee Bay State Park in mid-August, 2013. On September 5, 2013, he was told that he could not drink the water at his Carroll Township home because of a similar water advisory related to the algal bloom.

Spengler questioned why anyone would be concerned if more stringent regulations were placed on the manufacturing and agricultural industries to help protect Lake Erie. He said for the eight counties along the shores of the lake, recreation, boating, and fishing is an $11.8 billion industry providing over 100,000 jobs that also needs to be protected.

Federal, state and local officials on the panel told guests that climate change is another factor leading to the algae blooms.

Per-capita greenhouse emissions in the Midwest are 22 percent higher than the national average, in part, because of the reliance on fossil fuels, say authors of the Great Lakes Integrated Sciences and Assessments Synthesis. They add that coal for energy generation is the biggest contributor.

The average temperature in the Great Lakes region has warmed by 1.5 degrees from the period 1991-2012 when compared to 1901-60, say the GLISA authors.

The authors add that longer growing seasons and higher carbon dioxide levels will increase yields of some crops, though these benefits will be progressively offset by extreme weather events. They say an increase in temperatures will have more of a damaging impact on the $1 billion fruit and vineyard industry bordering the Great Lakes than it will on farm crops.

(— Ohio News Connection editor Mary Kuhlman contributed to this article)

Oregon closely monitoring its own drinking water quality “We knew the algae was out there. We’re taking the necessary precautions. When I heard what was going on in Toledo, the first thing I did was crank up the chemicals.”

Wagner said there may have been less of an impact in Oregon because there was a reduced demand for water.

“Our plant is rated at 16 million gallons per day. Right now, BP is treating its own water, which helps us a lot. So our demand was down, between eight and nine million, which is 50 percent capacity.

Toledo is rated at 120 million gallons per day and they were right around that area of treatment, so they were pushing their capacity. The water was going through the plant, and they didn’t have as much contact time with the chemicals.” In Oregon, with 50 percent capacity, the chemicals were in contact with the water for a longer period of time, “which gave them an opportunity to do what they’re meant to do, and that’s take out the harmful stuff in the water,” he added.

Test upgrades Oregon updated its testing equipment about four years ago, said Roman, to reduce the time for test results.

“We invested in our own equipment because we didn’t want to wait for the EPA to do the testing for us. About four years ago, when a lot of these concerns were popping up about microcystin, we had

“

If most people realize you can trap that phosphorous before it goes out, I think it could do a lot of good.

to ask the EPA to come and get a sample, and they would take it to Columbus or to the U.S. EPA in Cincinnati,” said Roman.

“They had to take it to a remote site. It’s already time consuming as it is. When you grab a sample, you have to freeze and thaw it three times before you take the reading.

Right now, we have it down to four hours to

do one test. Back then, it was much longer than that, just to do the freezing and thawing.”

Roman said it is possible what happened in Toledo could occur in Oregon.

“When Mayor Collins said we’re all vulnerable, it’s true. But at the same time, we’re being proactive. We’re always looking to see what the raw water concentrations are and we react to it. We’ve done this the last four years now where we’ve seen higher concentrations of microcystin, and we were able to treat it. So we have been successful in treating it. Is there a chance that something could get through? Yes. There’s always that chance. But we’re doing everything in our power to properly treat the water. No one can guarantee that could never happen,” he said.

Oregon has spent years updating and expanding its water treatment plant.

“From 1999 to 2004, we doubled our capacity at the plant. And that project literally took five years to construct in five different phases. We made a lot of investments in our low service pump stations, where our raw water comes in. We’ve made a lot of improvements. We have invested in our water infrastructure,” he said.

Algae season Algae in the lake is not going away anytime soon. Typically, the algae season starts in August and goes through October.

“Usually, September is the worst of it,” Roman said.

The raw water concentration of microcystin in the lake was around 9 ppb on Friday, and 12 ppb on Saturday, he said.

“But it can change. It can go back and forth.

That lake is like a big bath tub that sloshes back and forth.”

Weather forecasters on the local news channels were hoping for windy weather to help break up and dilute the algae plume.

But, Roman said it’s just the opposite. “With a strong wind, that algae will break up in the water and start to fall through the water.

Our intake is under the water. Under a calm wind, that algae is more likely to stay floating on top of the water and not get into our intake. But nobody can control the winds.”

There is no doubt the water is green because of the phosphorous from farm fertilizer.

“It’s definitely a big problem that needs to be resolved.”

Promoting projects that reduce pollution is the key to improving the water quality in the lake. Oregon has for years been cleaning drainage ditches that eventually empty into the lake.

“I do believe you can collect that water, and use wetlands to uptake the nutrients before they get into the lake. That’s half of the solution. If most people realize you can trap that phosphorous before it goes out, I think it could do a lot of good. We’ve been doing quite a bit. We go above and beyond putting in more wetlands, more plantings in our wetland areas just to uptake those nutrients,” he said.

Water emergency

District discussed plans for B.G./Perrysburg link

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com While the water consumption ban by the City of Toledo dragged on, personnel at the Northwestern Water and Sewer District were discussing how to construct an emergency connection to link the Perrysburg water system, which receives water from Toledo, to the Bowling Green system.

The district had started plans on a temporary connection to provide parts of the City of Perrysburg with potable water from the Bowling Green treatment plant, said Jerry Greiner, district president.

The district purchases Toledo water for its customers in the northwest portion of Wood County – with most of those customers located west of I-280. Customers to the east, for the most part receive water from the City of Oregon, which, like Bowling Green, wasn’t affected by the water advisory.

Tom Stalter, district engineer, said ideas for the temporary link included some above ground piping and connections between hydrants. Liability questions were a concern as well as engineering issues, he said.

“It’s not something we’re going to just drop,” Stalter said. “We’re going to keep looking at it.”

Greiner said about 7,000 district customers were affected by Toledo’s water emergency.

When the district operations staff was first notified of the water alert at 4 a.m. Saturday, it closed connections with Toledo’s system and notified the Wood County Emergency Management Agency office. By mid-morning district staffers had converted three of its purified water vending outlets to make the water available for free. Two of the units are supplied by the Bowling Green system and the third is supplied by a well.

Greiner said arrangements were also made early in the morning to have bottled water delivered to the district and by Monday six truckloads - more than 28,000 gallons – had arrived from suppliers in Napoleon, Columbus, and Monticello, Indiana.

Much of the bottled water was distributed to customers in the cities of Rossford and Perrysburg. The fire departments in Lake Township and City of Northwood also established water service. Residents of the Village of Walbridge receive Toledo water through the district’s distribution system but much of Lake Township to the east of I-280 receives Oregon water as do residents in the eastern portion of Northwood.

During Tuesday’s meeting of the Lake Township trustees, Bruce Moritz, township fire chief, said by Sunday about 1,500 gallons of water had been distributed by the fire department at the station on Ayers Road.

A department tanker truck was also sent to be on stand-by and assist in Toledo.

“I’m very proud of my people coming in Saturday and Sunday,” the chief said.

“That’s what it’s all about being a fireman.”

The trustees convened a meeting Saturday afternoon to declare a state of emergency in the township.

On Wednesday, members of Walbridge Village Council approved a resolution requesting the water and sewer district test water quality in the village, including sampling for the levels of microcystin – a toxin produced by blue-green algae.

Council also wants a complete report of the water quality within seven days.

Walbridge Mayor Ed Kolanko said Thursday there were lingering concerns about the water.

Political sign posting scrutinized in Oak Harbor

By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press The amount of time that political signs can be posted in yards is about to be limited in Oak Harbor.

For weeks, village council members have lamented over how political signs pop up long before the local political cam-

paigns kick into high gear for upcoming elections. A number of signs, especially those for the pending county judgeship race this November, appeared throughout neighborhoods in early summer.

“It seems like the signs are going up earlier and earlier every year,” councilwoman Sue Rahm noted.

The regulation has been talked about a

number of times in past years but now council members say they are ready to act on it.

At the direction of council, village solicitor Jim Barney checked zoning ordinances to identify how the political sign situation could be controlled.

Monday night, Barney presented the zoning section related to temporary signage already in place and offered some proposed

text changes regarding political signs for council review. Specifically, he explained, council could place a 60-day limit on political sign posting.

“That would place it somewhere around Labor Day,” the solicitor said, noting that is the traditional time that politicians and levy supporters gear up their campaigns.

He also noted permits are still not necessary for political signs.

Once council agrees on the proposed changes, the recommendation will be sent to the village planning commission and a public hearing will be held, according to mayor Bill Eberle.

After that review, the proposal goes back to council and will likely go through the three-reading process.

Utility rate study John Courtney of Courtney & Associates will attend the Aug. 18 meeting to discuss proposed water rate hikes.

The village hired the company earlier in the year to study both water and electrical rates.

“This will only involve the water side,” village administrator Randy Genzman told council. “The electrical rates will be another meeting because it’s more in depth.”

Toledo water ban Councilwoman Donna Wendt-Elliot asked for an update on the village’s water situation in the days following Toledo’s three-day water ban caused by the presences of mycrocystin, a toxin borne out of the algal blooms plaguing Lake Erie.

The toxin is known to cause rashes, stomach pain, vomiting, liver damage and a number of other problems.

Oak Harbor buys its water from the Ottawa County Regional Water System.

“For us, it went fantastic,” Genzman said. “There were no issues in our services.

Basically it was just a lot of sit and wait.”

“If you watched the news, they created a panic,” Wendt-Elliot complained regarding the constant coverage on local channels.

Testing for the toxin is not mandatory.

However, Ottawa County is among a number of lakeshore communities which do the testing voluntarily, Genzman explained.

The regional water system staff also injects a chemical into the system regularly which helps control the toxin’s presence.

Our Water Supply: What’s Next?

Water distribution mode

Waite football players help out about six coaches show up, in addition to myself. It was very good to see. It was just the players wanting to be a part of something bigger than themselves.”

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com This was just supposed to be another normal work day for Waite senior lineman Jovan Sanson.

He was headed to the McDonald’s on Main Street in East Toledo when he got the news that Toledo’s water supply was unsafe.

“I was on my way to work Saturday morning when I heard about it,” Sanson said. “We turned on the radio. I didn’t get a chance to turn on the TV before work because I woke up a little late. I heard it on the radio and got to work and found out how serious it was. It was pretty crazy.”

Sanson’s senior teammate, quarterback Jeremy Pratt, checked his cell phone as soon as he got off work from Taco Bell at 3 a.m. Friday night/Saturday morning. He said he received quite a shock.

“I was on Twitter and Facebook and a whole lot of people were tweeting and saying don’t drink the water,” Pratt said.

“People were saying the same thing on Facebook. I was going home to take a shower.

I feel very lucky.”

Waite senior center/linebacker Nick Jensen was home alone Saturday morning when he heard the news.

“I woke up Saturday and checked Facebook around 9 or 9:15 and it was blown up,” Jensen said. “People were saying we couldn’t drink the water, and they were re-posting the news stations’ links about the water.”

First-year Waite football coach Dan Chipka was in Rochester Hills, Mich., visiting his brother at a coaching clinic on Saturday when he got word that Toledo’s water supply was tainted. Chipka said he hustled back to Toledo as soon as he could.

“I got a plethora of text messages from back home,” Chipka said. “Waite’s principal, Todd Deem, said Waite was going to be a water distribution center and the Red Cross was going to be looking for volunteers. The Waite administration sent a message to all the coaches saying wouldn’t this be a neat way to give back to the community.”

Chipka said he got on the phone and reached as many of his players as he could, asking if they would volunteer to distribute water at their school.

“We had an outstanding showing,” Chipka said. “Some of the players stayed from 8 a.m. Sunday to 8 p.m. I would say we had between 25-30 kids. What was neat was by no stretch of the imagination did I make this mandatory. I presented it to the players and the coaching staff. We had

Giving back Several locations were used as water distribution centers over the weekend, including Waite, Woodward, Central Catholic and Springfield high schools. Chipka said several other athletes and coaches showed up at Waite to help distribute water.

“Bowsher’s coaches and players came over, and we had the Start cheerleading coach and her girls come out,” Chipka said. “The basketball coach at Rogers (Earl Morris) came, and a few of his players. A couple girls from the Start volleyball program came out. We had a few teachers as well from various schools, which was great to see.”

Pratt said he showed up at 8 a.m.

Sunday and stayed until 8 p.m. The players estimate they each passed out 500 to 600 cases.

“There were a lot of older people who weren’t physically able to carry the loads of water,” Pratt said.

Pratt, who lives with both parents along with two brothers and two sisters, said his family dealt with the water shortage “pretty well.” He said it was important to him to give back to the community.

“It was a great experience,” Pratt said.

“I got to bond with my team and we built a lot of friendships with a lot of people from the City League and Toledo schools. I strive to always give back, because that’s how I was raised. We wanted to prove we were strong as a community.”

Sanson – all 6-foot-1, 240 pounds of him – said he got a text from coach Chipka on Saturday night saying, “Can you help us pass out water tomorrow?”

“I thought it would be a good idea to help out the community, when they come out and support us every Friday night,” Sanson said. “I’ve always felt that way. I feel like sometimes I’m more priveledged than others, so it’s necessary to give back.

If we go out and help pass out water, maybe more people will want to come to our games and support our school.

“I was pretty exhausted. I did not expect that much. Obviously there were a lot of (instances) where people would look to me to lift water and do physically strenuous things because I’m a big guy.”

Jensen said his mother was out of town, but she had left him some money for anything he might need. Little did Jensen know he’d need the cash to buy drinking water.

“I went to Meijer. When I got there the shelves were pretty much bare,” Jensen said.

“

It was just the players wanting to be a part of something bigger than themselves.

For owners of restaurants in Oregon, it was a good, no, it was a great weekend. For some, serving the extra business provided by a water emergency in Toledo and other suburbs who get their water from the City of Toledo was almost overwhelming.

“It was crazy and insane the number of people who tried to come to us over the weekend,” Art Richardson, owner of the Oregon Inn on Bay Shore Rd. said. “We had to turn away 150 people.”

Richardson, who keeps records of his daily business, said business on Saturday was 30 percent higher than the Saturday before. Sunday was 35 to 40 percent higher than the week before.

“Monday, our business was up 50 percent more than the year before,” he said.

“We got hit late on Monday because many restaurants were not open yet. I had to special order product in on Monday.”

Richardson said he had an idea the restaurant would be busier, but he wasn’t quite ready for the onslaught of customers.

“I was doing a special event at Toledo Yacht Club on Saturday,” he explained.

“The event went as planned because we used bottled water. When I got back to my restaurant, we cooked 25 percent more prime rib than normal. We ran out at 9 pm.”

With the increased business came an increase in wait times. Most understood, but some were none too happy waiting.

“It was almost too much,” Richardson said. “You can’t prepare for something like that especially in prep work. Most of my staff was ready to kill me.”

Melissa Kies, co-owner of Luckies Barn and Grill located on Navarre, also called the weekend “crazy.”

“My husband Geoff called me Sunday at 9 pm,” Kies said. “He said, ‘We are on an hour wait and we are out of food.’”

Kies said the restaurant has been through very busy nights before, especially when holding fundraisers, but it is still very hard to prepare for the amount of people looking to get fed.

For Kies, the weekend proved to be both a blessing and a curse. She is also the co-owner of the 5th Street Pub, located in downtown Perrysburg.

“We had to close 5th Street so we lost the business we would have had,” she said.

“We heard about the water emergency at 7 am so we pulled our staff from 5th Street and sent them to Luckies. We could not open on Monday because we were out of food.”

The Pearl River Restaurant, in Northwood, and The Big Apple Deli, on Woodville Rd., both reported busier than normal weekends as well.

Kelly Laskey, co-owner and operator of Pete’s Hot Dog located on Starr Ave., said she was so glad to be in Oregon.

“We did seem busier than normal and we saw a lot of unfamiliar faces on Saturday,” Laskey said. “We stayed busy all day. It was a big plus for Oregon, but my heart does go out to all of the owners in Toledo who lost business.”

Marlene Guy, bookkeeper at El Camino Real Sky on Woodville, reported business was a good five to six percent higher than their normal Saturday.

“We are usually very busy on Saturdays, but business was really good,” Guy said. “We had to call in extra help. All I can say is, ‘Thank God I live in Oregon.’”

Cousino’s Steakhouse, also located on Woodville Rd., was hit with so many people they had to stop taking reservations.

Manager Molly Kristof said they knew Saturday was going to be busy, but Cousino’s ended up being 10 times busier than a normal Saturday night in the summer.

“It was extremely busy Saturday,” Kristof said. “It seemed like we got the whole Toledo crowd. The phone never stopped ringing. We started Saturday with no reservations and we ended up having to stop at 300 reservations.”

“

...my heart goes out to all of the owners in Toledo who lost business.

Oregon restaurants make out well

Oregon firemen show `spirit,’ lend a hand Oregon’s three fire stations generously offered water to those who were affected by Toledo’s drinking water ban.

All three fire stations, from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, and from 8 a.m. to 8 pm on Sunday, gave water to people who brought their own containers, said Fire Chief Paul Mullen.

Mullen, Mayor Mike Seferian, and Police Chief Mike Navarre talked about offering their neighbors free water soon after the ban went into effect in Toledo.

“We just really got on the band wagon together and decided this is what we need to do to be good neighbors,” said Mullen.

“The mayor started the ball rolling.”

People started lining up right away, he said.

“I wouldn’t even want to estimate how many people came,” said Mullen. A steady stream of people came to the No. 2 fire station at 1102 S. Wheeling Street. Fewer came to the No. 1 station at 5002 Seaman Road and at the Number 3 station at 4421 Bayshore Road.

“We used various hoses from the fire stations. We also used our kitchen sinks in our stations to fill containers. Obviously, the more people who got there, the more outlets we used for water,” he said There were no mobs, scuffles or physical altercations.

“Everybody should be very proud of themselves. Everything was orderly, everyone was nice and appreciative. Nobody was demanding,” said Mullen.

Oregon residents also showed up to help, he said. “We had people from our community bringing food and beverages to our firefighters. It was a good experience.

I’m not sure anything like this has ever happened in Northwest Ohio before. We’ve helped out in bad weather – snow storms and blizzards – that kind of stuff. But this is the first time in my experience we’ve ever done anything like this.”

Seferian said everything moved very smoothly. “Seems like everyone made the best of it. Everything worked like poetry in motion. It was a nice feeling.”

City Administrator Mike Beazley said he was on vacation in Michigan during most of the crisis.

“The mayor really took to the challenge, spending much of the day handing out water and helping people through the system,” said Beazley.

Councilman Terry Reeves, who also helped out, said he was pleased by the response of Oregon officials and residents.

“I’d like to thank our mayor, administration, fire and police departments for their hard work and support for the water emergency that happened in Toledo and other communities, and by helping out by easing the stress of our neighbors,” said Reeves.

Council President Dennis Walendzak agreed.

“Well said. We do have a great staff that works for the city. We have a mayor who is passionate about the City of Oregon, and police and fire. Everyone would agree with your sentiments,” said Walendzak.

“I definitely echo that,” said Councilman James Seaman, who helped out at the No. 2 station with the mayor.

“The firemen were cheerful giving out water to people who needed it. What was very enlightening and interesting was many people came not only for themselves but for their neighbors. You could see a lot of community spirit for those coming to pick up the water. It was good to see.”

Several sightings of lost white Husky in East Toledo

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Tabatha Gerathy has been looking for her dog, Tikaani, a white Husky with ice blue eyes, since it wandered from her home on Pickle Road in Oregon on July 26.

Sightings of the eight month old dog, wearing a black collar, have been frequent in East Toledo.

Gerathy was planning on training Tikaani, which means “wolf” in Inuit (Alaska), as a service dog to visit nursing homes and hospitals. “Our kids kept saying she looks like a snow wolf. So we gave her a name that means wolf,” she said.

Gerathy’s husband had let Tikaani outside on July 26 and turned his back for a second before he realized she was gone, she said.

Someone had soon spotted the dog at Kroger on Woodville Road, which is just a block from Gerathy’s house on Pickle Road.

“A lady found her, then called the police, which is what you’re supposed to do.

Another lady walked up to her, grabbed the dog and took off,” said Gerathy, who started making fliers to post in the neighborhood.

“The lady’s neighbor saw one of my fliers and called me. She said Tikaani had been tied up with a rope, but the dog had chewed through it the following morning and took off again,” said Gerathy.

Desperate to find her, Gerathy has exhaustively circulated fliers in every neighborhood where Tikaani was last sighted.

“We just pretty much pounded the area. Every time I get a call from someone

fliers with her picture on it,” she said.

Gerathy has made frequent trips to Lucas County Canine Care & Control in

hopes someone had turned her in. “I cross my fingers, hoping she’s there,” she said.

She saw two white dogs there that looked similar to Tikaani. “I got excited. The dogs looked almost identical to Tikaani. But not quite.”

The last sighting, at press time, was Aug. 3 at Navarre Avenue and White Street in East Toledo.

The all white dog is described as laid back and approachable.

“She’s very friendly, does not bite.

She’s a very, very delicate dog,” she said. “It looks like her eyes and mouth are outlined in black. She’s very distinctive looking.”

Her plight has gained the attention of animal lovers on the Toledo Area Lost and Found Pets website.

“There are so many people looking for her right now. It’s amazing. Everyone has been so friendly. I’ve met a lot of really nice people,” she said. Her sister and mother have come from Michigan to join in the search.

She believes someone has the dog and hopes they will see the fliers and news article and contact her.

“Whoever has her - no questions asked.

I just want my dog back,” she pleaded “She’s a part of our family. My other dog is 11 years old, and looks for her every day.”

She is offering a reward for the return of Tikaani.

“She’s out there somewhere. I really have hope I am going to get her back,” she said. “I guarantee, if I got her back, I would start crying.”

Oregon group wants to help local business succeed What can Oregon do to help your business become more successful?

That’s the idea behind the survey the Oregon Economic Development Foundation has sent to area businesses and posted online for your input.

Lindsay Myers, executive director, says the survey information will be used to help retain business and assists with expansion.

Myers said that existing businesses create up to 80 percent of all new jobs in a community, so it’s important to examine the needs of those companies already committed to Oregon.

A task force of community leaders developed the survey and identified the Navarre Avenue corridor as the target focus area. Navarre Avenue and its ancillary streets, including Coy, Dustin, Lallendorf, Stadium, Wynn and Wheeling, house most of the medium to small business establishments are targeted.

Any Oregon business outside the target area is also encouraged to complete the survey. It can be access by going to www. oregon.ohio.com, and clicking on business sector survey. The deadline to complete the survey has been extended to September 1.

The foundation is being assisted by Ohio State University Extension in Lucas County and the Ohio Sea Grant College.

The Press Poll

If you could turn back the hands of time, what age would you be and why?

Should Jon Waters be reinstated as director of the OSU band?

Yes No To cast your ballot, go to www.presspublications.com Valerie Smith Toledo "'I'd like to go back to 35 because I'd be 20 pounds lighter and I'd be able to make sure I'd enjoy my kids and family more."

Jennifer Schuerman Pemberville "I would want to go back to my 20's and do more traveling."

Drop Common Core To the editor: My total support goes to Lake school board president, Tim Krugh, and other board members for opposing the introduction of the Common Core education standards.

Krugh pointed out in The Press Aug. 4 article the standards were adopted by the states to get federal funding before details of the troubling standards were even known.

In my opinion, Common Core is a political move; a first step to indoctrinate our nation into rejecting our free market, profit motive, capitalist system. Progressives would replace our system with a communist, socialist system mixed with crony capitalism. The government picks winners and losers based on political bias.

I don’t agree with Dennis Mock, superintendent of Genoa Area Local Schools, and his opinion the state legislature should postpone action for a year on implementing the standards and then vote on whether they should be enacted. Educators have been duped into believing the federal government has our students’ best interest at heart.

Instead, Common Core serves the best interest of big government to use propaganda in our schools that is contrary to their best interests.

Larry Knudson Millbury (Editor’s note: Mr, Knudson is a former member of the Lake school board)

Karen Schrock Perrysburg "'Probably 20... College. The best time of your life and you don't know it while it's happening."

Don Traxler Ada "College age because I found out I could of had a lot more fun with what I know now. I had fun being Freddie the Falcon in 1954 but back then all I had was a paper mache head with chicken wire inside."

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.

Letters should be about 350 words.

Salvation Army and “weekenders” for their generosity during our Christmas in July campaign July 25-27.

Once again, the staff and volunteers at our ringing sites (Bassett’s, Put-in-Bay and Jet Express) made this campaign a success by helping us raise $4,085.70. Thanks to all involved.

A big thank you to the Jet Express for donating round-trip tickets to our volunteers ringing at Put-in-Bay. Catawba Moorings (Dockers with Donations), once again, stepped up to the plate in assisting our local Salvation Army and managed to collect two heaping shopping carts full of non-perishable items and $1,171 in their kettle.

The Port Clinton Service Unit is proud to serve our local community and appreciates the generous response by our residents and “weekend locals” with going above and beyond to help provide assistance for our community.

Green water woes To the editor: Why wasn’t Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins more pro-active on looking at water quality reports and why did the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency allow this algae condition to get so bad?

The agency was aware the algae problem was getting worse. We need to have someone overseeing the hen house. You wait for the winds to kick up to correct

the problem? Surely there is a process to correct this. Perhaps we need to set higher standards on run-off.

I blame this on those in congress for trying to ease environmental rules covering industries. We should all be asking to see the results of the testing and ask for any documents the Ohio EPA had prior to this invasion of our water supply.

Joann Schiaovne Walbridge

Taxed too much To the editor: The Woodmore School District in November will be asking for a 25-year levy for a new auditorium at the high school in Elmore.

We already have a bond issue for the elementary school. Also, Communities Achieving Goals for Extracurricular advised the public years ago that it would pay for the performing arts building after the new track and football stadium additions were complete.

Former superintendent John Fernbaugh advised me: “The money was never there” for the performing arts center. This is too much strain on the taxpayers. I encourage a vote of no.

Wid Hesselbart Woodville

Oregon water praised To the editor: We want to thank Oregon for a good water system.

Thanks to whoever was responsible for all the improvements.

We should all thank Sandy Bihn for educating us about the algae in the lakes.

The City of Toledo should have done something about a better water plant and sewers that leak and collapse. City officials knew for a long time there was a problem.

The state should help.

Glenn and Doris Levy Oregon

Waters was hosed To the editor: Here is what I believe should happen to Jon Waters, the former Ohio State University band director. Another university/college with a good marching band should hire him. He could then make them “The Best Damn Band in the Land.” His creativity and unique style for halftime shows will be sorely missed at OSU. Jon did not deserve the take-down for decades of band traditions. I believe he should have been given probation for three or four months to clean up the problems.

I also laud The Village of Elmore for standing with its native son.

Learning from your mistakes is a valuable life lesson Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

Mistakes are a normal part of life. Rather than being afraid of them, learn from them.

Paralysis by analysis prevents you from taking action.

“

A life without mistakes is a life without learning. You learn more from situations which don’t work out as planned than you do when everything turns out as expected.

Nothing is a waste. Every experience is a learning opportunity. Lamenting the past by wallowing in what you should have, could have, or would have done, is a colossal waste of time and energy. The two important things to learn from the past are what to avoid along with what to repeat. Some people take the exact opposite approach. They repeat that which didn’t produce desired results while ignoring those actions which succeeded. This is a faulty strategy resulting in constant frustration.

An effective strategy for deriving the greatest benefit from all you do is to think, act, and assess. Thinking involves first identifying what you are trying to accomplish and then considering all of your options. For each alternative, determine the advantages and disadvantages.

Now you can evaluate all of your options together. Decide which option appears to have the best potential for reaching your goal.

Learn from your past experiences when deciding on your best option. You should be able to articulate your reasoning for choosing a particular option. Never pick something at random or solely because it seems like the easiest route.

The second step is taking action on your desired option. Without action, nothing happens. Having the best plan is worthless unless you act on it. Should your plan feel overwhelming, break it

down into manageable steps. Then just take one step at a time until your objective is attained.

Constantly evaluate how well your plan is working. Make any adjustments as needed. If you realize you are on the wrong path, stop and change direction.

But first go back to the first step in order to formulate another set of options.

Don’t bame other people or circumstances for your situation. You are the one responsible for the direction of your life.

No one can take advantage of you without

your permission. Make changes to those things that are not working out as planned or desired.

Everything happens for a reason. A positive attitude enables you to uncover why. There is always something to be learned. Whether a situation is a stumbling block or a stepping stone is up to you.

Rather than taking a position of, “woe is me,” say to yourself, “OK, so what have I learned and what is my next step?”

People with a victim mentality never take responsibility for their circumstances and therefore never learn from their mistakes. They don’t benefit from their experiences. These people are convinced that much of their effort is for nothing. Since they fail to alter their flawed strategy, the same pattern occurs over and over, further convincing them of the validity of their victim mentality.

In order to get the most benefit from an undesirable result, answer the following four questions. 1. What happened? 2.

Why did it happen? 3. What did you learn from the experience? 4. What can you do to prevent the same situation from happening again?

Utilizing this approach to handling adversity provides you with the maximum benefit from each experience. It forces you to accurately assess what happened and why. This is the way you can ensure nothing is for nothing.

Mistakes are a normal part of life.

Rather than being afraid of them, learn from them. Paralysis by analysis prevents you from taking action. Identify where you want to go and then do what it takes to get there.

Overcoming the toxic water crisis

Those who sell Toledo to the job creators speak out How do you sell toxic green water?

How do you overcome being called “the garbage end of the lake”?

How do you counter this in a recent New York Times article: “Lake Erie is in trouble, and getting worse by the year.”

The two-day crisis is over. A half million people can drink easy now. However, since Toledo and toxic water are forever linked on the Internet, what do the professionals who sell Toledo to those who would bring us jobs, tax revenue and tourism dollars have to say?

Matt Sapara, director of development for the City of Toledo said, “From a job attraction viewpoint, quality of life is a significant issue when businesses are considering relocating to northwest Ohio. Things like the (Toledo) Museum, other entertainment venues, and recreational activities on Lake Erie are really, really important when they are going through that selection process.”

Other development leaders echoed that. Marty Sutter, president of the Ottawa County Improvement Corporation, said, “Ottawa County Improvement Corporation takes this matter very seriously. The best thing we can do is educate ourselves and make sure the lake is preserved the best it can be. This area is awesome and the lake is a big part of it.”

Their website touts our area’s recreational assets. It states, “Rich in recreational

by John Szozda opportunities, the region offers world-class fishing and boating, as well as beaches, island excursions and Lake Erie wineries.”

Only true when the beaches are open and the water is clear.

Larry Fletcher, executive director of the Lake Erie Shores and Island Visitors Center, knows this better than most. Although, the drinking water in Ottawa County was not affected, the algal bloom that caused it also turns off boaters and beach goers in a county that is heavily dependent on tourism.

He says, “We have been answering a fair number of questions about the water issues over the weekend…It has the potential of impacting it (tourism) negatively, even if the lake is clean, just because of impressions.”

Fletcher said stories in national publications about the record 2011 algal bloom spurred people to vacation elsewhere. In addition, charter boat captains reported that in 2011 they had to take trips farther out and motor through the pea green soup.

That precipitated a fall off in business in 2012.

Fletcher said tourism brings in more than $2.1 billion dollars to the economies of Ottawa and Lucas counties. This revenue supports thousands of jobs and diversifies our economy.

While Fletcher has to overcome the impression the water crisis created in an area that wasn’t directly affected by it, Richard Nachazel, president of DestinationToledo, is in the eye of the storm. Toledo hotels were forced to close last weekend which led to the National Amateur Baseball Federation cancelling its annual four-day tournament two days into it. About 200 rooms were lost, Nachazel said. The cancellation had an estimated $50,000 economic impact.

The wood-bat tournament features college players, some of whom have advanced to the major leagues. What will they say about Toledo? Will they risk coming back next year?

Nachazel says if the problem is addressed, the negative impact will not be long lived. He stated in an email, “People familiar with lakes understand the possibility of algae…Many of the groups that meet in Toledo are doing so with pre-planned agendas and should not be impacted as long as the water is still flowing clean. Our Midwest location combined with first class attractions and very reasonable lodging and restaurant costs give us a good product to sell. We will continue to make our clients aware that the recent water issue is

resolved.”

Resolved. That’s the key.

Lindsay Myers, executive director of the Oregon Economic Development Foundation, agrees.

“I don’t think it will affect recruiting because the response from everybody from the Governor all the way down to Mayor Collins of Toledo was very quick and they are resolving the issue as quickly as possible,” she said.

She added that the lake is a huge draw for those considering relocating here. “I’ve heard some people call it liquid gold in our back yard...Obviously it is a very serious issue and we have to resolve it as soon as possible. It has put us in the national spotlight for reasons we don’t want.”

Sapara said that if there is a “silver lining” it is the way the community responded. “That is a really powerful message businesses look to as a quality of life issue. Is it ideal? Of course not. I can’t mislead anyone…It is so critical we deal with it today, not tomorrow, not two years from now.”

The abundance of fresh water is the greatest recruitment tool we have. It trumps, our port, our rail, our location at the highway crossroads of America. It trumps our skilled labor force and our high tech training programs. If we don’t solve the algal bloom problem we will indeed be known to the world as “Toledo: The Garbage End of Lake Erie.”

Baskets of Care gives away 1,000th Comfort Bag

“

On July 30, Baskets of Care presented its 1,000th Comfort Bag to a patient who had been newly diagnosed with breast cancer.

The presentation took place at Flower Hospital Medical Center in Sylvania.

The non-profit organization was established in 2010 to help women and men diagnosed with breast cancer navigate the confusing and frightening journey toward regaining their physical and emotional wellbeing.

“When someone receives a breast cancer diagnosis, it is naturally overwhelming and patients have lots of questions and concerns,” said Baskets of Care founder and breast cancer survivor Gail Cooper. “Our ‘baskets of care’ contain essential contact information, educational materials, and comfort-care products to help make each patient’s journey just a little bit easier, including a handmade healing shawl knitted by area volunteers.

The bag also contains: the book, “Just Get Me Through This,” by Deborah Cohen; “Questions to Ask your Doctor,” supplied by Susan G. Komen; a booklet on lymphedema: “What every Woman with Breast Cancer Should Know,” supplied by American Cancer Society; a journal book/ pen; a padfolio with a two-year journey calendar; a small heart-shaped pillow that wraps around the seatbelt to protect the breast, made by volunteers; a bar of dark chocolate; a gift card and other brochures from the agencies that support breast cancer.

When someone receives a breast cancer diagnosis, it is naturally overwhelming...

“

“I knew something like this was needed when I went through my own breast cancer journey,” she said. “The comfort bags are one more thing that we can do to help everyone who is faced with this challenge.”

Baskets of Care partners with oncologists, surgeons and the breast care centers to gift the comfort care bags to the newly diagnosed breast cancer patient. The comfort care bag is becoming part of the protocol of many of the providers and the bags have now become familiar to many in the breast care community. “It is a great testimonial to the project when we are told, ‘The patients love them,’” Cooper said.

To learn more about Baskets of Care, visit www.basketsofcare.org. The organization also needs volunteers to knit or crochet shawls for the baskets. Call 419283-9003 or e-mail gailc@basketsofcare.org for more information.

Emergency aids available from Harris-Elmore Fire Dept.

The Harris-Elmore Fire Department is reaching out to residents of the community with items that may assist during emergency situations.

An important part of responding quickly during an emergency is being able to identify the home of a potential victim.

Homes should be properly numbered and the numbers should be in a visible location.

The department is offering residents a green reflective sign with their house numbers for a cost of $12, which includes installation.

Finding a residence is only part of a quick emergency response. Emergency workers must be able to gain access into a home during an emergency. Many people experience emergencies that prevent EMS or fire responders from gaining access into their homes. In those types of situations the department must make a forcible entry.

In an effort to make response times even faster and avoid forcible entries, the department has teamed up with Diversified Insurance Service of Elmore, which has donated Realtor-style lock boxes that can be placed on homes.

The lock boxes will have preset numbers determined by the Harris Elmore Fire Department. It will be up to the resident of

each home to provide the department with a functioning key to the home. The key will be placed in the lock box and used in the event of an emergency at the residence. A fire department representative will meet with the resident to ensure proper placement of the lock box.

The cost of the lock box is covered by the donation from Diversified Insurance Service. However, the department is asking for a small voluntary donation to help purchase necessary equipment for the department and future lock boxes. The lock box is only available to residents of the Harris-Elmore Fire Department responding district.

The Harris Elmore Fire Department and Diversified Insurance Service would also like to ensure that the EMS is provided with an accurate medical history during a victim’s time of need, so they are offering “File of Life” magnets and door decals to

Catherine Michael Knoop ~Attorney at Law~

General Practice Including:

residents of northwest Ohio.

The “File of Life” magnets will be placed on the homeowner’s refrigerator.

The magnet includes information pertaining to the individual’s demographics, emergency contacts, medical history, current medications and medical allergies. The magnet also includes information regarding an individual’s advanced directives.

The department would also provide a door decal indicating that the resident has a “File of Life” to help ensure EMS is aware and uses the information provided by the resident.

The “File of Life” will cost a resident $5 and is available to any resident in or out of the Harris-Elmore Fire Department response district.

To obtain a green reflective house number sign, lockbox, or the File of Life, call the Harris-Elmore Fire Department at 419-8623332, ext. 12.

Blood donations needed The American Red Cross is facing a looming blood shortage, leading to an urgent need for donors of all blood types to roll up a sleeve and give.

Donations through the Red Cross are down approximately 8 percent over the last 11 weeks, resulting in about 80,000 fewer donations than expected. The number of donors continues to decline, and the shortfall is significant enough that the Red Cross could experience an emergency situation in the coming weeks.

In addition, the Independence Day holiday falling on Friday reduced the number of blood drives scheduled in early July.

Many sponsors did not host drives because people took vacations either over the long weekend or for the entire week. In an average summer week, about 4,400 Red Cross blood drives are scheduled, compared to Independence Day week when only 3,450 drives occurred.

“Hospital patients continue to need lifesaving blood this summer, and they’re relying on the generosity of volunteer donors to give them hope in the days and weeks ahead,” said Michael Thome, chief

From page 11 Workshop participants will learn how to: • Cope with changes, losses and life transitions; • Say what is important to friends and family; • Create positive caregiving experiences; • Talk about end-of-life care and make important decisions; • Plan for their future.

Statistics show that 50 percent of family caregivers are on average 49 year old females, who are often caring for aging parents or other loved ones, while balancing life at home. Stress of family caregiving can have a negative effect on the caregiver’s immune system and cause premature aging.

executive officer for the Red Cross Western Lake Erie Blood Services Region. “Each day donations come up short, less blood is available for patients in need – and you never know when it could be your loved one needing blood.”

Eligible donors with types O negative, B negative and A negative blood are especially needed at this time. Type O negative is the universal blood type and can be transfused to anyone who needs blood. Types A negative and B negative can be transfused to Rh positive or negative patients.

There is also an urgent need for platelet donations. Platelets – a key clotting component of blood often needed by cancer patients, burn victims and bone marrow recipients – must be transfused within five days of donation, so it’s important to have a steady supply of platelets on hand.

To donate, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood. org to make an appointment or for more information. A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental

Energy efficiency promoted

Lighting upgrade earns Samsen’s an award A showroom lighting upgrade has resulted in major savings and recognition for Samsen Furniture of Genoa.

The family-owned business was honored Tuesday with an Ambassador of Energy Efficiency designation by Efficiency Smart, a company that has worked in partnership with the Village of Genoa to offer utility savings for both residents and commercial customers.

“Just like Samsen is an over-achiever in the furniture business, Samsen is an over-achiever in the energy savings business,” said Carl Andre of Efficiency Smart.

projects we work with. That’s all we do is electrical efficiency. It’s judged by how many kilowatt hours we save.”

The award was accompanied with a $7,000 rebate check to Samsen Furniture.

Doug Samsen accepted the award on behalf of the company. Village officials at the ceremony included Village Administrator Kevin Gladden, Councilmen Darryl Bittner and Ken Harsenje, Police Chief Brad Weis and administrative secretary Mary Ann Bell.

Almost a year ago, the owners of the century-old business completed a $30,000 lighting project aimed at replacing the existing halogen lights with light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Efficiency Smart guided the Samsen family and its supplier, MSi Solid State Lighting, through the changeover.

As a result of the directional nature and increased light output of the new fix-

tures, the company was able to reduce the number of showroom lights from 940 halogen lamps to 880 LEDs, according Andre.

This project’s annual kWh savings is projected at 170,900. The annual cost savings is $18,300, according to Efficiency Smart figures. And the lifetime cost savings is estimated at $288,100.

The company’s central goal, Samsen explained, was to illuminate the furniture store while reducing the electrical use. The final product’s appeal to customers was especially important to company officials.

“I think it sparkles. Look how the furniture shines,” Andre noted as he walked across the showroom floor for the award presentation. “And it’s reduced the air conditioning load. These lights aren’t putting off the heat the old incandescent lights do.

So the air conditioning isn’t stressed. I haven’t heard the air conditioning come on.

That’s a hazard of my job. I listen for that type of thing.”

Store management began investigating the LED lighting years ago, Samsen recalled. And each year, the project cost had become more reasonable as LED lighting made a name for itself as an energy efficient alternative.

“Then, we took the jump last year,” he said. “Savings in overhead is important.

But so is how it looks in the end.”

Gladden pointed out that there is a new LED bulb that bypasses ballasts being introduced that is expected to cut savings 60 to 70 percent in some cases.

That may be an option for the warehouse if the company decides to swap out that lighting system also, Samsen said.

A Minnesota attorney who chairs the Veterans Defense Project Board will be permitted to appear before the Ohio Supreme Court on behalf of a local veteran who’s been sentenced to prison for shooting at police officers responding to a domestic disturbance call.

The Supreme Court Monday approved a motion filed by Brockton Hunter to act as counsel for Jeffery Belew, of Oregon, who faces a 27-year prison term imposed by the Lucas County Common Pleas Court and upheld by the Sixth District Court of Appeals.

Last month, a divided Supreme Court dismissed an appeal from Belew, who claimed the stress he incurred during the Iraq War was a factor when he engaged in a shootout three years ago with city police.

Belew has filed a motion to reconsider with the Supreme Court and Hunter has a filed a brief in support of the motion.

As of Thursday, the court had not ruled on the motion, according to spokesman for the court, who said out-of-state attorneys are required to ask for permission to argue before the court on a temporary basis.

Hunter, a former Army scout, contends in his brief the case “sets the tone” for the future treatment of veterans at the sentencing stage of their criminal proceedings.

“Without guidance from this Court, future trial judges may repeat the mistakes of the past by considering service-related disorders “excuses” – suggesting that the veteran offender was not willing to accept the consequences of his actions – while in reality service-related disorders are a piece of the puzzle that explains the veteran offender’s conduct and entitles him to consideration of a lesser sentence,” the brief says.

“This Court’s deliberation of the questions presented by Mr. Belew’s case will prevent injustice not only to Mr. Bewel, but also to the other veterans who will come into Ohio’s criminal courts. The Court should reconsider its motion to dismiss.”

According to trial court records, Belew on April 10, 2011, fired at least four shots at police officers. Two shots hit a police cruiser and Belew didn’t respond to commands to stop firing until he was wounded by officers returning fire.

He was arrested and received medical care.

Belew entered pleas of not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity to two counts of attempted aggravated murder of a law-enforcement officer and two counts of felonious assault.

He was evaluated by two psychologists who advised the court he didn’t’ qualify for an insanity defense.

One psychologist believed Belew was hoping to be killed by police on the day of the shooting and the other psychologist found evidence of a possible personality disorder.

Supreme Court Justices Paul Pfeifer, Terrence O’Donnell, Sharon Kennedy and Judith French agreed the court shouldn’t have accepted the appeal.

Justice Judith Lanzinger agreed the trial court did properly take Belew’s post-traumatic stress disorder into consideration during his sentencing but argued an opinion should still be rendered on how PTSD must be considered by a court when it sentences an affected veteran.

“And just as important, we should clarify the standard that an appellate court must use in reviewing a sentence of this type,” she wrote.

Justice William O’Neill argued the decision by the appeals court should have been reversed and the case remanded to the trial court for a new sentencing hearing.

“It is without question, and well supported in the record, that this troubled throwaway from society wanted to commit suicide by cop,” O’Neill dissented. “ Belew’s motion for reconsideration says he has acknowledged his actions were wrong but the trial court erroneously considered his mitigating evidence as a “claimed excuse, which means it did not consider the evidence as mitigation.”

It says the U.S. Supreme Court has held that the nation has a long tradition of “according leniency to veterans in recognition of their service, especially those who fought on the front lines.”

The Press Box Clay football picked to finish last in conference

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com The Three Rivers Athletic Conference coaches picked Clay football to finish in the cellar. In voting, Clay had eight points, which indicates that every coach picked the Eagles to finish last.

Whitmer and Central Catholic tied in voting for first place with 57 points each followed by St. Francis de Sales (44), Lima Senior (38), Fremont Ross (33), St. John’s Jesuit (31), Findlay (20), and Clay (8).

This will be the second year Coach Mike Lee will be at the helm of Clay football.

Lee moved back to Ohio last year to take the Clay job after serving as an offensive assistant at Lake Wales High School in Florida. He was an assistant at Fostoria St. Wendelin before taking the reins at Woodmore in the 1990s, where he led the Wildcats to four playoff appearances and three league titles in six seasons. Lee also had success coaching softball programs at St. Wendelin, Woodmore, and Fostoria, where he also served as an assistant football coach.

Last year, Clay finished 2-8, but that record could be considered deceiving.

They held leads late in each of their last two games, losses to St. John’s, 37-28, and Whitmer, 34-28, and stormed out to a 13-point lead against Findlay before allowing 34 unanswered points and losing 41-20.

At one point, a 2-4 record could have been reversed if Clay was able to hold onto a late lead, and that would have included a victory over the defending Division I state runner-up Whitmer.

“We could be 5-1 if we had finished some plays,” Clay coach Mike Lee said.

“We were up 20-7 against Findlay and had the lead in the fourth quarter of the last two games. In the last two games, we played much better but we have to improve in a number of ways. It’s all part of the growing process.”

Clay girls’ soccer fared better in voting by the TRAC coaches. Coach Scott Wamer’s team was picked to finish fourth in close results. Clay got 40 points, trailing first place Findlay (51), St. Ursula Academy (47), and Notre Dame Academy (41). Following Clay were Central (26), Whitmer (21), Lima Senior (14) and Ross (12).

A year ago, the Clay girls went 9-7-1 (with eight shutouts) and finished fourth in the TRAC. They graduated four-year starting goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel, who was chosen first team Division I All-Ohio her senior year and earned a scholarship to Ball State.

Heintschel became just the second Clay girl to earn first team all-state honors in soccer, joining striker Amanda Watson, who earned the honor in 2007 and ‘08.

Heintschel also repeated as the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Goalkeeper of the Year last season.

Ross was last with 12 points.

Clay golf teams optimistic as season begins

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com ‘Tis the time of year for local high school golf coaches to be optimistic.

Clay boys coach Rob Belegrin and girls coach Kevin Crosson are no different – except that one coach (Belegrin) returns a veteran squad and Crosson graduated his top six performers from last year’s Three Rivers Athletic Conference runner-up team.

Belegrin, in his 17th season, brings back the bulk of a team that took fourth in the TRAC a year ago but graduated secondteam all-conference performer and four-year varsity letterman Blake Heilman and Kurt Lazur, who is now golfing at Heidelberg.

“One of the things about this team is they’re all going to shoot around the same score, 77 to 82,” Belegrin said. “That’s a good thing. The bad thing about that is, we don’t have that one kid who shoots evenpar or below.”

The Eagles’ returning lettermen are sophomore Pete Snow, junior Donte Giovanoli and seniors Brandyn Dean and Alec Vriezelaar. None of those four earned All-TRAC honors in 2013, but Belegrin has big expectations for them this season.

“Pete is a worker,” the coach said.

“I haven’t seen a kid in all my years who practiced more. He has a membership at Eagles Landing and I’ve seen him hit six large buckets every day. He’s going to put the work in and it’s going to pay off for him.

The other guys are the same way. They’re playing 27 holes and hitting balls. It’s a very hard-working bunch.

“Pete is a grinder. He’s very good around the greens and has a good short game. He hits the driver decent. He’s still growing, but he’s just a good all-around player. He works on all parts of his game.”

Donte Giovanoli will be a three-year starter this fall.

“He’s a very good iron player and is good at hitting greens,” Belegrin said. “He has a nice, short compact swing. He is a very good competitor and a very focused kid.”

Belegrin called Dean a “perfectionist” who is also good with irons.

“He hits his long irons well and has a nice putting stroke,” Belegrin said. “He’s

and Gino Giovanoli, and sophomore Eric Kutchenreiter.

“Jake has no varsity experience, but he has been in our program,” Belegrin said.

“Gino is Donte’s twin brother, and Eric Kutchenreiter is in the battle as well. He’s buddies with those guys who play every day. He’s got a chance. We’ll see what he shoots.”

The TRAC favorite “by far,” Belegrin said, is St. John’s Jesuit.

“I think we can finish second,” he said.

“You have to go out and golf. We have a lot of guys returning, but the rest of the league doesn’t have a lot of guys returning. We’re going to have to battle St. Francis, and I think we’re better than a lot of teams. We just have to go out and show it.”

Clay senior golfer Brandyn Dean got a great knowledge of the game. All these guys love golf. It is fun showing up with a group of guys where that’s the only place they want to be, on the golf course.”

Belegrin added that Vriezelaar plays a steady game and has a great demeanor.

“He’s going to give you a steady score every time out,” Belegrin said. “He’ll shoot that steady 81, 82 score you need. He never loses his cool. He’s very mature, which is great to have for a golfer. Very calm and poised.”

Belegrin said the battle for the No. 5 position is between juniors Jake Vriezelaar

Golfers can book tee times at Fifth Third Field’s ‘links’ Hall of Framers and Meyer Hill Lynch have signed on as presenting sponsors to the first-ever miniature golf event at Fifth Third Field. The Links at Fifth Third Field opens to the public Sept. 25-28.

Miniature golfers can start booking their tee times now. Tee times will be available for the following dates and times: Sept. 25, 6-10 p.m.; Sept.

26, 6-10 p.m.; Sept. 27, 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m. and 6:30-10 p.m.; and Sept. 28, 2-8 p.m.

This is the first time a minorleague ball field has been turned into a mini-golf course.

“I always thought it would be interesting to see a natural grass puttputt course,” says Jake Tyler, Sports Turf Manager. “The timing is perfect to create this once in a lifetime opportunity for our community.”

It will take up to two weeks for Tyler and his grounds crew to cut the course into the turf.

The Links at Fifth Third Field will be a challenging course even without any rolling hills and slopes. The first nine holes will have a lot of angles, dog legs, and sand traps. The back nine gets confusing when the fairways of Nos. 14 and 15 intersect each other and No. 17 may be the hardest because it finishes up on top of the pitcher’s mound.

Admission is $15 with a portion of the proceeds benefitting area charities. Each player receives a souvenir The Links at Fifth Third Field golf ball.

To guarantee a tee time, call 419-725HENS or visit the Toledo Mud Hens box office.

Hole-in-One Ed Strohscher of Genoa used a 5-hybrid to score a hole-in-one with his Callaway ball Tuesday on the 145 yard, par 3, No. 14 at Hidden Hills Golf Club. For 18 holes, Strohscher scored an 88. Joe Hartley was a witness.

Coach Crosson’s girls squad The same can be said of Crosson’s girls squad, which graduated first-team All-TRAC performer Samantha Maze and second-team all-conference golfer Kaitlyn Sheahan.

Clay’s girls also compete in the North Division of the Northwest Ohio Girls Golf League, where the Eagles finished second behind Northview last fall.

“I have zero experience (returning) in varsity golf,” said Crosson, in his 16th year, who added that St. Ursula Academy is the runaway favorite to win the TRAC this year.

“I believe everyone returns for them, and they were a state qualifier,” Crosson said. “I would (pick) St. Ursula one and Notre Dame two (in the TRAC). I would pick Whitmer third and everyone else is going to be in the mix. Realistically, I’d like to knock Whitmer out of the top three.”

Crosson said five of this year’s top seven players all practiced and played at the junior varsity level last season. They are seniors Aubrey Jacobs, Maddison Grimes and Alexa Musselman, junior Sydney Sauerwein and sophomore Jenna Mahler.

Freshmen Kendall Jacobs, who is Aubrey’s sister, and Natalie Quinlan could make the varsity squad.

“Talent-wise, there is a lot of potential,” Crosson said. “They don’t have varsity match experience, so how are they going to handle it mentally. Physically, I know the girls have put in an awful lot of hard work and they’re just waiting to get their chance.”

Clay junior top batter in World Series event ‘Lead Fish,’ Kyle Rogers, to swim again

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

“

He was a key for us in all three facets.

“

Three local players helped the Toledo Hawks 16-U baseball team have a successful summer under first-year coaches Zach Michael and Ryan Wilkinson, including one Clay junior who topped the charts in a national tournament.

The Hawks, who went 5-0 in the Toledo League and finished 15-11 overall, reached the semifinals of the NABF World Series held in Toledo. The Hawks lost to the Youngstown Astro Falcons, 10-5, in the semis on July 26 at Bowman Park. The Astro Falcons were defeated by SAYO Grays (Brooklyn, N.Y.), 9-3, in the televised championship game.

The Hawks also reached the semifinals of the Nations State Tournament in Bowling Green.

Michael said he and Wilkinson, who both played at the University of Toledo, were asked to coach the 16-U team this summer by Hawks 22-U coach Ed Mouch.

“I had a great time,” said Michael, who is from Columbus. “I played for coach Mouch and I want to coach in the future, so this was my first coaching experience. The kids were great and the parents were great.

We had fun and everybody got better.”

The Hawks 16-U team included Clay junior Zach Brown and Cardinal Stritch juniors Jude Neary and Sean Killian.

“We had a great group of guys, and it was fun,” Michael said. “I was cool to see how they got better as the year went on.

We played pretty well one tournament, and then the next tournament we kind of struggled. It was great to see at the end of the year how we were able to put it all together.”

Brown and Killian both pitched and played in the infield and outfield, while Neary was a catcher.

“It was a pretty good experience,” Brown said. “This was my first serious summer ball team. It wasn’t too strict. It was kind of, not laid back, but it was fun to play for them. I had a pretty good year this year.”

Brown batted a team-high .460 with 10 RBI, 22 runs, three doubles and one triple.

He was named to the NABF World series all-

Zach Brown tournament team and had the tournament’s top batting average (.421), earning a plaque from the 100-year-old amateur baseball association, American’s oldest, as batting champion.

“Zach’s a great kid,” Michael said. “He can pitch, play in the field and he can hit.

He was a key for us in all three facets. He was willing to play any position. No matter where he played, he always played hard and obviously he had a great season at the plate.”

Neary batted .400, second on the team, and scored a team-high 24 runs to go with 12 RBI and three doubles.

“He was our workhorse behind the plate,” Michael said. “We had two catchers to start the year and one of them got hurt.

Jude stepped up and played a lot of games for us, a lot of doubleheaders. He worked well with the pitchers and swung the bat well throughout the whole year.”

Killian, a left-hander, hit .258, led the team with three complete games and pitched two shutouts for the Hawks.

Michael said Killian and Ian Andres, from Bedford, Mich., were the Hawks’ top two pitchers.

“We had a 1A and 1B - no one was the clear-cut No. 1,” Michael said. “Sean threw really well. He was probably our most consistent pitcher throughout the year. He had a great change-up and a great pickoff move. He threw a complete-game shutout against the D.B. Razorbacks (N.Y.) in the World Series.”

Forward Kyle Rogers has agreed to terms with the Toledo Walleye for the 2014-15 season.

“I am really fired up to get back on the ice,” said Rogers. “We can rebound and bring the great Toledo fans a winning team that they are starving for. I am really excited to work with Derek Lalonde; he has a great hockey mind and will help take us to new heights.”

Rogers is the Walleye All-Time leader in games played with 278 and has been team captain since the 20112012 season. He finished last year 34 points (15G, 19A) in 64 games played.

The 29-year-old ranks third on the alltime list in games played for a Toledo ECHL franchise behind only forwards Rob Thorpe (364) and Rick Judson (455). Rogers also ranks 10th AllTime in points (160), goals (62) and he is eighth in assists (98). He will start the season just three goals shy of Evan Rankin for the most in Walleye history.

“Kyle brings his hard hat and goes to work each and every night,” Head Coach Derek Lalonde said. “He leads by example and is a guy that you count on to be there day in and day out. Kyle is a Toledo hockey player through and through.”

Prior to skating with the Walleye, Rogers spent two seasons with the Toronto Marlies in the American Hockey League (AHL), and has appeared in 421 professional games in his career, 143 of those in the AHL. The native of Philadelphia, PA also spent three years at Niagara University, where he appeared in 97 games and collected 40 points (18 goals, 22 assists).

“

Traver has served with distinction and as a role-model and mentor to a multitude of Lake Township firefighters to the benefit of a greater Lake Township community.

“

When Dennis “Pinky” Traver became a volunteer firefighter and donned his first safety coat it was made of rubber.

“When it got hot you got out of it,” he recalled. The required training was also less stringent than it is today as firefighters only needed to know basic Red Cross first aid.

That was in 1960 and after Traver moved to Millbury from Genoa, he became a member of the village fire department that would later merge with the fire station in the Village of Walbridge to become the Lake Township Fire Department.

His fellow department members, township trustees and friends recognized Traver with a retirement party Tuesday, honoring him for nearly 55 years of service.

A resolution by the trustees says Traver “has served with distinction and as a rolemodel and mentor to a multitude of Lake Township firefighters to the benefit of a greater Lake Township community.”

Traver began service with the department in February in 1962 and retired as an assistant district chief.

Chief Bruce Moritz presented a clock to Traver.

“Being a volunteer means a whole lot to a small community,” the chief said, noting the demand placed on volunteers who leave families on holidays, during dinner and other times when emergency calls come in. “It’s going to be hard to fill all those years of service.”

Traver, a graduate of Genoa High

School, said retirement from the department will give him more time for riding his motorcycle and other pursuits.

“I just won’t have to answer the calls and get up and two or three in the morning,” he said.

Police Beats LAKE TWP. – Aaron L. Short, 19, Toledo, was charged Aug. 1 with possession of drugs after a traffic stop on East Broadway.

• Pierre D. Sanders, 26, Mich., was charged Aug. 3 with obstruction of business after a traffic stop. He was a passenger in the vehicle.

• Jamie S. Pappas, 37, Oregon, was charged July 21 with theft at the Pilot Truck Stop where she was an employee.

• John Fyffe, 60, Walbridge, was charged with disorderly conduct after a neighbor complained Fyffe parked his vehicle in the neighbor’s driveway on East Broadway and then shoved the neighbor.

• Power tools were reported stolen July 31 from a car trailer parked in the 30000 block of Cedar Valley.

• A resident of the 29000 block of Pemberville
