Green slime arrives in waves By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com
Co-owner Ryan Bowen is dwarfed by images of seven school mascots on the east wall of Ryan & Tony’s Barber Shop in Millbury.

School mascots with an attitude By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Walking into Ryan and Tony’s Barber Shop on Woodville Road in Millbury, customers catch an eyeful of school mascots on steroids. Each mascot is about 10 to 20 square feet, and Lake’s is the biggest. The collection covers the entire east wall. Co-owner Ryan Bowen, once a Lake basketball star, stands in front of the mural and he is dwarfed by the images. If you are sitting in a barber’s chair, you spend the entire time looking at them. The trash talk begins almost immediately. “I love it. It brings color to, and don’t kill me for saying this, an otherwise drab community, to be honest with you,” said Kyle Borko, a 1985 Genoa High School graduate and customer. Co-owner Tony Meadows, a 1998 Lake graduate, said mean looking mascots was the plan, just like when the Toledo Mud Hens made Muddy appear meaner. “I said, I think we want to make them a little bit tougher. We wanted to give that little edge to them,” Meadows said.

Artist Deano Davis took logo images from seven schools — Woodmore, Cardinal Stritch Catholic, Genoa, Oak Harbor, Clay, Northwood, and Lake — and used his creative talents to expand on them. “He put his artist’s rendition on each one of them,” said Bowen. “He didn’t want them to be exactly like them, he wanted to do his own little take and they came out pretty neat. We love it. We’ve actually had a lot of people stop in here to look at it just by word of mouth. We couldn’t be happier. He did a fantastic job with it. It’s cool.
“It’s kind of funny. Every time somebody different comes in, they like a different mascot,” Bowen continues. “Everybody has their own thing. When the Genoa people come in, they like their Comet. Obviously, the Lake people like their ‘Lake.’ The Lake Flyers emblem is all over the place — there are pilots, airplanes — that one came out neat. The Lake Flyers’ pilot has the big eyeballs up there. I like Northwood’s, too, because Northwood’s literally is a blue and yellow ‘N’. It’s neat, man.” The airbrushed images took Davis, a CSX employee, about 20 hours. Bowen had to let him in at 5:30 a.m. the morning he finished the project. Davis, a 1996 Clay graduate who grew up in Harbor View, relished the opportunity. “I was fortunate to have an opportunity to give something back to the community,” Davis said. “It was fun that they were able to just let me create the logos. It’s hard for me to find an opportunity to just be creative and not be under so many rules, but it was definitely a project that I enjoyed.” Customer Aaron Endicott, who stops in the barber shop for coffee nearly every
If you’ve noticed that shoreline water along Maumee Bay is turning a shade of green, don’t be alarmed — yet. Sandy Bihn, executive director of the Lake Erie Waterkeeper Association, says algae blooms along the shoreline look bad under certain conditions, but they are not even close to levels reached in 2011. Bihn describes the green lake water near the shoreline as “putrid,” but it could be worse. “It’s not supposed to be as bad as 2011,” Bihn said. “Actually, I just collected it in a jar and took it to my speech in Pennsylvania, and the density of the algae of what we have now compared to what we had in 2011 is hugely different. Right now, it floats to the surface and is clear underneath, and in ’11 it went down 20 to 50 feet. So, it’s not nearly as dense or as abundant as it was in 2011, at least at this point. “It comes and goes,” Bihn continued. “It doesn’t look bad today (Wednesday). What happens when the lake is very calm and it’s warm, it will flow to the top and you’ll see a lot of it. Today, it’s not even two-footers (waves) and you don’t see any algae at all because it mixes in.” Changing agricultural practices and weather conditions are cited in a study as the likely causes of what is considered the largest harmful algae bloom in Lake Erie’s recorded history. 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. The algae have already limited the use of three other Ohio lakes, as well as some Canadian beaches. The algae is fed by the rising water temperatures and phosphates commonly found in fertilizers. Researchers at the University of Michigan and eight other institutions describe the 2011 algae bloom as a harbinger of things to come rather than an isolated occurrence.

Mascots with attitude (Continued from front page) morning, said that before Davis completed his creation, there was panic, especially from Lake fans. You see, Bowen is the Lake boys’ varsity basketball coach and Endicott is one of his assistants. “As that was being done, we would come in and say, ‘What is this and what is that?’” Endicott said, pointing to the images. “And then when he started putting it all together, it became an unbelievable conversation piece. Everyone who sits in the chair, before they get out of the chair, they’ve got to comment about it. So, it’s been all positive. We love it. “What happened is he got half of those done, and didn’t get the rest of them finished, and Lake wasn’t up there,” Endicott continued. “Boy, people would come in and say, ‘Where the heck is Lake at?’ When he put Ryan and Tony’s name in the middle — that was a great touch.” Trash talk gets thicker The barber shop has been there since 1967, started by Bowen’s uncle. Ryan took it over 19 years ago. Meadows, Ryan’s employee for eight years, became a partner this year. Ryan said the artwork is more than just a marketing piece. “We have a lot of customers who are young kids,” Bowen said. “We wanted to honor them all by putting their high school mascot on there. Obviously, all of the schools that are on there, all of our business is from that (area), so we thought it would be neat for all the kids. Meadows added, “From what I’ve seen, everyone has been extremely interested in it. I think it’s kind of caused a little buzz with some of the younger kids who come in. I think they really enjoy seeing their school logos up there and everything. There’s been a little bit of (school loyalty).” Davis, who has been a tattoo artist for 17 years, likes to dive into other art forms, too, like glass blowing. Other mural clients include Jed’s Barbecue and Brew restaurants, plus CSX also allows him to occasionally perform commercial artwork. “It’s always been a passion. I railroad, that’s my real job, but I’ve always done artwork. On the mural side, it really takes a lot of self-discipline and it takes a tremendous amount of desire to work with people,” Davis said. This was not Davis’ first gig at Ryan and Tony’s — he also did the adjacent mural containing images of Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Only that image is on two removable pieces of oak — the school logos are permanently air-brushed on the wall. First, the wall was prepared with a skin coat by Genoa residents Brandon and Dan Kincaid. Davis then applied a special high-quality paint shipped in from Louisiana. Then Davis went to work. “He gets up there with pencil, doesn’t look and starts drawing, and then when he air-brushes it that’s when he starts putting it to life,” Bowen said, adding that he paid Davis in cash, not haircuts. As new customers walk in, the trash talk gets even thicker. Borko, a former Comet and once a precision machining technology teacher at Start High School, has changed allegiance slightly because of his children. “Being a parent of Lake Flyer kids for the past 10 years, my last one is a senior this year, I’ve been to a lot of sporting events, so I will basically say, ‘No comment.’ It’s not about being a bad loser, but how gracious a winner you are, and that’s all I got to say. I still have a little bit of allegiance toward the Genoa Comets,” Borko said.
Schools seeking to protect athletic logos By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Soon after a mural depicting seven school logos appeared at Ryan & Tony’s Barber Shop in Millbury, the owners had a visitor — Northwood Schools Superintendent Greg Clark. Northwood Schools had just released its new logo, although it has not had much public exposure yet. But the school district went a step further than most districts — it copyrighted and trademarked the logo. The logo is designed by graphic artist Nathan James, the son of football coach Ken James, and the legal process was completed in June, Clark said. The logo is already stamped on a new gym floor, which was finished by a Woodville company, and it’s on letterhead, lanyards, and so forth. The reason for the trademark — major national retailers are selling sports apparel with the school names, colors, and logos, and Clark says the district gets no money from those sales. He wants to change all that. “Obviously what has happened in the past is that our school name, mascot, and colors and all those things — people other than us have used that for profit,” Clark alleges. “That’s (logo) unique to us. I think that has happened to a lot of schools. So, when we were looking at getting a new logo put together for the athletic department, one of the things we’ve done is we’ve had it done specifically for us. It’s not a stock, off the internet, logo.” Locally, Northwood is one of the first, but not the only one to seek legal protection. Oak Harbor has trademarked its logo, but for a different reason. “A couple of years ago, the University of Toledo contacted us with a letter threatening legal action if we did not stop using ‘their rocket,’” OH athletic director Drew Grahl said in an email. “As a result, we worked with a local vendor to create a new rocket that we use. Both the vendor and the school have trademarked the new rocket.” However, superintendents from Eastwood, Lake, and Genoa say their districts have not copyrighted or trademarked their logos. The Press stopped in at Meijer Wednesday night and found apparel for sale with colors and logos from Waite, Clay, and Maumee. A tag attached to the Waite and Maumee apparel, but not the Clay apparel, said, “A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this product will directly benefit your school.” Apparel representing Waite, Clay, and Lake are on sale at Wal-Mart, and made by the same company. Meanwhile, Clark says athletic boosters and band boosters are also trying to sell apparel to raise funds. But that doesn’t mean what the larger chain stores are doing violates any laws, Clark acknowledges.

“If the school has not done anything to protect their mark, it is open season, basically,” Clark said. “In years past, I know that those businesses have sold things with our name and our colors. I don’t think they are doing anything wrong and for the most part I don’t think schools have gone to the effort to do that protection, so we are investing in something new. I took those steps to protect the school district over the next few years.” Common law protection Trademark attorney Charles R. Schaub of downtown Toledo firm Emch, Schaffer, Schaub & Porcello Co., L.P.A., says the districts may have legal recourse even if they don’t file the paperwork. He says the continual use of that logo and colors could show that it belongs to the school, based on its agreement with the artist. “Traditionally, if I am an artist and I create that logo and I have ownership in it, regardless of whether or not I have actually
registered it as a copyright, it’s still my artistic work,” Schaub said. “Arguably, I think they could ask these merchants for money.” In addition, media coverage of high school sports continues to be on the rise. “I guess one of the things I’m always doing as a superintendent is look down the road a little bit, too, as more and more high school athletic programs are being marketed to larger and larger audiences,” Clark said. “Not necessarily Northwood right now, but we do appear on Buckeye (Cable Sports Network) and so forth. When you or I were kids, college athletics was kind of small time compared to what it is now. In 30 years, are we looking at high school athletics — who knows? We’ve got websites out there dedicated to high school athletics.” Schaub does think that it is a good idea for school districts to file a state trademark, which is less expensive than a federal trademark. The cost may be worth protecting the booster clubs. Clark actually loved the artwork on display at the barber shop, and he has no intention of going after co-owners Ryan Bowen and Tony Meadows. But it is the school’s legal responsibility to notify the shop to show it is protecting that logo. “Really, I sincerely believe those guys are supporting our kids and our community, but not everybody would be. This is a local business not making any attempt to take advantage of us. I heard about it, and so I just stopped in to see what it was. It was kind of surprising because we haven’t even rolled it out,” Clark said.

Party at Stritch lot
The Great Lakes
Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School has announced its annual Party in the Parking Lot event will be Aug. 16 and will feature the band Arctic Clam as part of the evening’s entertainment. The event is a chance for alumni and friends of the school to gather and celebrate the beginning of another school year. School will have been in session for four days on the day of the event. This is always a great event and it is something everyone – alumni, staff and parents alike – looks forward to attending each and every year,” said Fr. Eric Schild, President of St. Kateri Catholic Schools. “Plus, with the added entertainment of Arctic Clam, this year should be one of the most entertaining years at the event.” The evening will leadoff with a Memorial Mass to remember all the Stritch Catholic alumni who have died over the years. The service will be held in the Chapel at the front of the St. Kateri Catholic Schools building. The festivities for Party in the Parking Lot will immediately follow in the school parking lot near the soccer field. Guests will be able to purchase food and drink outside. A new feature at this year’s event is the addition of a live band and party tent. Arctic Clam will be playing for the amusement of the crowd from approximately 8:30 p.m. until the conclusion of the event.

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon city council on Monday will consider a resolution in opposition of a proposed deep geologic repository for low and intermediate level radioactive wastes near Kincardine, Ontario or any other underground repository constructed near the shore of any Great Lakes or connecting waterways. “The City of Oregon strongly values the water quality of Lake Erie and the Great Lakes,” states the resolution. Ontario Power Generation is proposing to construct an underground long term burial facility for all of Ontario’s low and intermediate radioactive waste at the Bruce Nuclear Generation Station, some of which is “highly radioactive and much of which will remain toxic for over 100,000 years,” states the resolution. “A couple years back, they were actually going to ship some of the radioactive materials overseas, and there was a lot of opposition to that, so that eventually kind of died,” Councilman Sandy Bihn said at a committee of the whole meeting on Monday. “But this facility up at Bruce in Ontario keeps coming back and wanting to do

these practices.” Michigan has a law that prohibits the release of radioactive materials in the Great Lakes,” added Bihn. The site is less than one mile inland from the shore of Lake Huron and about 440 yards below lake level. It is approximately 120 miles upstream from the main drinking water supply of southeast Michigan and approximately 145 miles upstream from the Toledo/Oregon drinking water intakes. “Since we’re downstream from Lake Huron, I think it would be appropriate as a community that we would not want to have radioactive waste in the Great Lakes, especially something upstream from our community,” said Bihn. This type of repository is not found anywhere else within the Great Lakes Basin, according to the resolution. Lake Huron via the St. Clair River/Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River supplies 95 percent of Lake Erie’s water. Placing a permanent nuclear waste facility so close to the Great Lakes is “ill advised,” states the resolution. “The potential damage to the Great Lakes from any leak or breach of radioactivity far outweighs any benefits that could be derived from burying radioactive waste
at this site. The ecology of the lakes, which is valuable beyond measure to the health and economic welfare of the entire region, should not be placed at risk by strong radioactive waste so close to the shoreline,” states the resolution. “I’m very in favor of this resolution,” said Councilman Jerry Peach. “Protecting the purity of the Great Lakes is probably one of the most important tasks for the legislators at the city and state level throughout the Midwest,” said Councilman James Seaman. “As time goes by, the water source from the Great Lakes is going to become more and more important for purposes of economic development. It’s going to revive the Midwest part of this country as time goes on.” “That’s absolutely correct,” said Bihn, who is also Western Lake Erie Waterkeeper. She said several counties in Michigan have passed similar resolutions. “I was called and asked if we could do it for here in Lake Erie. In the next couple of days, I will be doing it in the Cleveland area and elsewhere,” said Bihn. She recently contacted State Representative Mike Sheehy to ask if he can look into whether Ohio can pass a law similar to Michigan’s if it does have one on the books.
On Aug. 17 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., Magyar Gardin will be open for free tours at 2353 York St., Toledo A Monarch butterfly way station, a potato growing demonstration, community garden vegetable plots, an insect hotel and working beehives are included in the tours.

Green slime Continued from front page The researchers found that intense spring rainstorms and the resulting runoffs from farm fields resulted in record-breaking levels of phosphorus, a nutrient in agricultural fertilizer that contributes to algae growth, washing into western Lake Erie. The study says those conditions set the stage for an algae bloom that covered about 2,000 square miles at its peak in early October 2011 – about three times larger than other blooms to occur in the lake, including those that occurred in the 1960s and 1970s. Don’t want adverse publicity Bihn says a sewage treatment plant in Detroit is also playing a role in the algae growth in the western basin. “That is the largest single wastewater plant in the United States. That plant contributes alone five percent of the phosphorous to Lake Erie. With the bankrupt conditions in Detroit right now, they haven’t always maintained their equipment real well, so there are malfunctions, so sometimes we’ll get sewage bypassing the plant and going into the rivers and lakes,” Bihn alleges. “There is still raw sewage. I have a picture this year showing sewage coming from one of the outfalls and going to the Detroit River and obviously going into Lake Erie. That plant continues to be an issue and a problem because it is such a huge source and it’s a single source where people can actually see it happen. “The problem is they are broke, and there are technologies to reduce the problem and make the problem better but obviously they don’t have the wherewithal to do it and not willing to do it at this point,” Bihn claimed. Bihn says the plant not only serves Detroit, but about 75 other communities. “You look at this Detroit wastewater plant, and even though it’s called Detroit, it’s serving Rochester Hills and a lot of the more affluent areas, so don’t think of it as Detroit. It goes all the way to Flint, which is actually getting out of it. It’s a huge regional system. They are actually thinking of creating a regional authority to oversee it, which I think is prudent,” Bihn said.
Last weekend, visitors to Maumee Bay State Park were stunned to see waves resembling thick, green paint. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) In her executive director role, Bihn often travels to other lakeshore communities to discuss lake issues. Last week, she was invited to give a presentation during an environmental summer series at the Jefferson Center in Erie, Pennsylvania. “It was probably one of the best places I’ve ever spoken,” Bihn said. “They said they had 20 sign up, and they were hoping to get 50. We had 72 people there who were really engaged. It was really a lot of fun and it went really well. They were happy with the speech and happy with the turnout and the questions were really great. “We need people in our area to care about and engage more in the water than we have, and we are always trying to do that. In Erie, the problem is the bay there is
full of algae right now. So, some of the conditions we have in the western basin are also in the eastern basin where the water is a lot deeper. But they are concerned.” Elected state officials are also involved in protecting the league. State Rep. and former Oregon city councilman Michael Sheehy (D-Oregon) attended the Lake Erie Protection and Restoration Plan meeting at the Maumee Public Library last week. As a long-time resident of the Maumee Bay area, Rep. Sheehy is concerned by the harmful algal blooms that are overtaking the Maumee Bay and greater Western Basin of Lake Erie year after year. “This toxic blue-green algae is a huge threat to all Ohioans. Not only does it slow tourism and harm the fishing industry, but
it poses a public health risk by contaminating water millions of Ohioans rely on for drinking. We have to take this seriously,” said Rep. Sheehy. “I just can’t imagine losing the lake, and if we don’t work together to solve this crisis, we will, and very soon. The restoration and protection of Ohio’s lakes must be a priority.” Bihn said, “A lot of us want an annual report card of how much phosphorous is coming into the lake, how much has been reduced from each source, from each tributary, from each river, and are we gaining ground or losing ground in the big picture. Obviously, we don’t want this to keep happening. We don’t want adverse conditions or adverse publicity.”

Library wants input for a $2 million expansion By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com
“
We’re becoming more of a place that people not only come to for checking out a book but also for interacting and collaborating.
“
With a major expansion and renovation set for the drawing board, the Oregon Branch Library wants to hear from patrons on what they want from their local branch. A public meeting to gather input on an expansion and renovation project that will add 3,000 to 5,000 square feet to the branch on Dustin Road will be held Aug. 12 at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Little Sisters of the Poor Sacred Heart Home, 930 S. Wynn Rd. “It’s going to be a new format for gathering information,” said Charlie Oswanski, superintendent for facilities and operations of the Toledo Lucas County Public Library. “I think we’re going to break into groups and have some discussions as individual groups. It depends on how many people turn out for
the meeting. The bottom line is we want to know what the patrons like about what we’re doing now. What do they wish we’d do differently? Are there services that they’d like that we are not providing? Does the floor plan work?” Based on his experience with other

branch renovation projects and listening to patrons, Oswanski said he’s expecting to hear requests for a larger meeting room. “Our meeting rooms get a lot of use and that one as it relates to the rest of the system is real small,” he said. “We’re becoming more of a place that people not only come to for checking out a book but also for inter-acting and collaborating. We’re becoming more and more of a public space.” The branch on Dustin was built in 1988 and covers about 14,800 square feet. A Cleveland area firm, HBM Architects, has been selected for the project. According to the firm’s website, it has worked with more than 200 libraries since the firm was established in 1976. Oswanski said the project will cost approximately $2 million and a groundbreaking next spring is anticipated. Construction will probably take about nine months. Planners also want to know what Internet-related technology the branch should of-

“Employers have migrated to online applications,” Oswanski said. “So job seekers have to know how to get online, how to represent themselves, and they’ve got to know how to submit an application for a job online. Many people who are unemployed don’t have those skills. So they come to us for help. We do that all day long.” And with so many people having their own personal devices there is a need for space where they can use them, he said. The building’s mechanical systems will also need to be replaced or updated, he said, and the floor plan may also be changed to accommodate the resources offered to young adults and children. “More and more people come in and want to work on projects together or they need to work with our staff,” Oswanski said. “We have a lot of tutoring and host G.E.D. classes. We also do homework helper sessions.”

Long time councilman, wife, to be ‘king and queen’ By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com When Ed and Lois Wozniak moved to Pemberville in 1966, they were here to stay. The Wozniaks believed Pemberville would be a wonderful place to raise their children. “It was mostly to get closer to my work, I think, and then the house really took. The (Eastwood) school system was definitely a factor, I think, too,” Ed said. “We like small towns.” Since then, Ed has played a role in village politics and Lois volunteered for countless organizations. At 8 p.m. Wednesday, after the Kiddie Parade, the Pemberville Free Fair will coronate the Wozniaks as senior king and queen. During the ceremony, long time grocery store owner Bill Beard and wife Judy will be honored as the village’s outstanding citizens. The fair runs from August 14-17. Lois’ response when she heard about the coronation is the same as Garth Algar’s reaction when he met members of the rock band Aerosmith in the movie “Wayne’s World.” “We’re not worthy because we haven’t moved mountains. We just feel very, very honored and again, unworthy,” Lois said. However, they have accomplished a lot in their nearly 50 years living in Pemberville. Lois just hopes the reaction is positive during the coronation ceremony. “If they boo, we’ve got to take the crown away,” Lois joked. After serving over 25 years on village council under numerous mayors, Ed once received a proclamation from former mayor, the late Gustava Oberhouse. It was an appointment that got Ed off to serving a quarter century on council. “When the (Pemberville) Leader was operating (1970s) and (Jay) Parker was the mayor, something came up in the paper that the minutes weren’t right or something,” Ed said. “I went up to council a couple, three, or four times, and then a fellow passed away, and they appointed me and I took his place on council and that got me started. “The biggest challenge was passing the income tax. There were a lot of pros and cons. Mayor Parker — he knew that we needed to do that in order to have an income to take care of everything. I’ll always remember, one of the things he said was, ‘You know, it’s not when are we going to fix the potholes,’ he says, ‘It’s down to a point as to which potholes are we going to fix?’” “So, that was his thing. We had a little bit of opposition toward it. He made it clear that all of the council members should agree on it. We’ve all got to agree this is what we need to do or we shouldn’t pass it. He really emphasized that. “I resigned the position because Lois

It was just a personal thing. I’m still on the planning commission.” Ed believes one of the biggest problems facing the village today is potential flooding, among others. “They’ve got a lot of problems. They don’t have any money (for flooding),” Ed said. Their involvement goes beyond politics. Their home has been featured on the village’s Christmas Tour of Homes. The Wozniaks celebrated 50 years or marriage in 2002, and then 60 last year. When asked what their secret is to a long and happy marriage, the words ‘marry a good man” and “marry a good woman” are heard simultaneously. Since arriving in Pemberville, the Wozniaks have raised their children and the couple are now empty-nesters. Ed Jr. lives in Buffalo, Kathy (O’Laughlin) is in Norfolk, Virginia, and David is in Massachusetts. Ed and Lois’ personal history dates
back to their original hometown, Port Clinton. Ed Sr. was discharged from the U.S. Navy in 1946 and utilized his GI Bill to further his education and become a diesel mechanic. He and Lois were married in 1952. In addition to working in his trade, Ed worked as a salesman in his chosen field and sat on the advisory board at Owens Community College. He taught the first diesel class at Woodward High School and served on the first Otterbein-Portage Valley nursing home’s board. Today, Ed enjoys working in the bingo tent at the free fair and doing woodworking. Lois worked many years as a nurse at St. Charles Mercy Hospital, Oregon, including the last 12 as patient education coordinator. Lois is past president of the Friends of the Library and has been involved with the Pemberville Library Reading Group for 15 years, along with the fair’s quilt show, the Mental Culture Club, and Lakeside Federation of Women’s Clubs. She worked at the Pemberville-Freedom Historical Society’s antique shop, and belongs to the retired CCL group. She enjoys Bunco and the

But Lois says once involved, it was easy to stay involved. “They were neat folks to work with and it was just good to be together and good to do something,” Lois said. “The library reading group — that group is fantastic.

‘One million smiles from the corner of God’s earth’ By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Pemberville business owners know Peter I. Maxwell, 61, because he spent 30 years as a UPS driver delivering to the Pemberville/Eastwood area. Maxwell will be grand marshal of the Pemberville Free Fair parade, which begins at 1 p.m. on Saturday, the final day of the fair. The fair runs from August 14-17. Maxwell told fair program booklet editor Beth Fritz that he would not “trade the memories for anything.” “Over one million miles and at least one million smiles from the corner of God’s earth,” Maxwell said. “In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun and I certainly had a wonderful career because of all the good people,” Maxwell continued. “Cakes, cookies, Gatorade, your hospitality was wonderful. “Watching the corn grown daily, the wheat harvest, the leaves turning, and the smell of tomato soup became my world. The eagles, the deer (he says he only hit one as a driver), the geese on the river, and the town turkey along Water Street made me smile immensely. “But, mostly this community is world class. This honor to be grand marshal of the parade caps off my life down here — just driving down Front Street will always put a smile on my face, my home away from home.” Maxwell, a Harvard Elementary, 1970 Bowsher High School and 1976 University of Toledo (business education) graduate, started at UPS on April Fools’ Day, 1971, working seven years as a part-time employ-

He married his wife Carolyn in 1975 while working at UPS, and they raised two sons — Peter, now manager at Yark’s Automotive Group, and Matthew, representative for Imagination Books/Books are Fun), who is married to Emily. Pete has two brothers, Rex and Bruce. Pete has been a New York Yankees fan since 1959 and is a life member of the Church of the Cross Methodist church as well as a member of the Toledo Sailing Club and
Top Citizens Fair organizer Nedra Sheets says when Judy Beard heard about being honored as Pemberville’s outstanding citizens, she cried, and husband Bill says he was Peter I. Maxwell touched, too. “I’m very humbled with it and it’s a great honor, obviously. I’ve enjoyed my time with the people in the community and this is what we call home,” Bill said. “It’s been the satisfaction of being here. It’s a great, little place. Obviously, we raised all of our children here and most of them got married here, got grown up, and went away. It’s just a great, little place.” At 8 p.m. Wednesday, after the Kiddie Parade, the Beards will be honored as the village’s outstanding citizens in a ceremony on the main stage. Bill and Judy Beard purchased the Pemberville IGA from Bob Hahn Jr. in 1975 and moved their family here in 1976. They have celebrated 50 years of marriage, having tied the knot on March 24, 1962 in Lima while Bill was serving in the U.S. Navy. After being discharged, Bill began his lifelong career in the grocery retail business before purchasing the IGA. “I was working for the IGA distributor out of Bellefontaine and I was calling on this particular part of the country, includ-
ing calling on this store, and it came up that he wanted to sell it so I wound up buying it,” Bill said. The couple enjoyed serving the village as business owners for 32 years, ultimately selling to current owner Bob Frobose. Even though a Dollar General opened across the railroad tracks on Pemberville Road, Beard believes sales will remain strong because of the diversity of the grocery’s stores products. Now retired, the Beards find themselves doing plenty of traveling. Bill’s hobbies include golf and cars. From a kit, he built a Shelby Cobra, which he says would be worth a half million dollars if purchased from a dealership. From a kit, it’s less expensive. “I’ve always kind of tinkered with (cars). I had (the Cobra) for about 14 years and I sold it, and I have a late model Mustang I fool with, and that is about it,” Bill said. Judy raised the children and then joined Bill at the store where she served as bookkeeper and office manager. Judy says she enjoys time with friends, shopping, and “spoiling their grandchildren.” When they arrived in Pemberville 37 years ago, they were here to stay, raising their four children, Renee (Paul) Zink, Michelle (Bob) Siler, Mark (Lynn) Beard and Scott Beard at their home on Swan Road. Bill and Judy now enjoy time with their 10 grandchildren, Rachel and Kristin Zink; Shane Miller; Rob, Andrew and Sara Siler; and Nicholas, Jacob, and Cameron Beard. The Beards are members of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Pemberville. (Information and photos are from the Pemberville Free Fair program booklet, prepared by Beth Fritz, with permission).

Trustees decide full-time fire chief is needed in Lake Twp. By Larry Limpf Press News Editor news@presspublications.com The Lake Township trustees have decided to hire a new fire chief and to make the position full-time – and do it quickly. Interim fire chief Mike Hornyak informed the trustees he intends to resign the post in two weeks, saying the demands of his private sector job leave insufficient time for the duties of chief. The trustees Tuesday agreed to advertise the position and to select a candidate during their Aug. 20 meeting. “We have wonderful people in our fire department but they need leadership,� Melanie Bowen, chairman of the board of trustees, said in making the argument for a full-time chief. “We’ve got to have somebody good at the helm.� She said many of the responsibilities
of fire chief need to be addressed during the day but many on the volunteer department’s roster have full-time jobs. Trustees Ron Sims and Richard Welling agreed a full-time chief is needed. “I said in the past we need a full-time chief,� Sims said. Bowen said she has met with Bruce Moritz, chief of the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District, for his input on preparing a job description for a full-time chief. Samples of job descriptions used by other area departments were provided to her, she said. A draft of a job description written by Bowen calls for Lake Township candidates to be a level 1 and 2 firefighter in Ohio and to be a certified fire safety inspector and emergency medical technician. Candidates must also have 10 years experience with a fire department. The pay range would be $55,000 to $60,000 a year, she said.
The last full-time chief to head the township department of about 60 firefighters and emergency medical service personnel was Eric Larson, who was being paid $57,824 in 2009 when he left to accept a position with the Wood County Hospital. Larson was hired in July, 2006, replacing Mike Buzza, who resigned a month earlier. At the time Larson left, Bowen said the board of trustees would consider options for filling the vacated post, including let it again become a part-time position, which it was before Larson was hired. They decided to select Todd Walters, who was deputy chief, as part-time chief. Walters was being paid $27.73 an hour when he resigned earlier this year. Hornyak, then a deputy chief, was given a $2 raise to $18 an hour when he replaced Walters as interim chief. Bowen said the fire department was in
“fairly decent� shape financially, however, one of the department’s trucks will need to be replaced next year. A grant the township received earlier this year to purchase radios for the fire department allowed the trustees to pay off a loan for a 2007 fire truck early and save about $50,000 in interest payments. The trustees Tuesday also discussed possibly revising a policy of paying points for members of the fire department while they attend training classes. The trustees agreed to continue paying points as well as the cost of the training classes for six firefighters – five taking emergency medical technician classes and one taking a volunteer fire class – but said the policy of paying points for department personnel while they’re taking classes needs to be reviewed. Under the point system, a point represents approximately one hour of service.

Northwood firefighter retires after 50 years of service
“
By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com
I am still helping them. I retired June 1st and when I hear the sirens, I still want to go.
“
Dale Miekes, of Northwood, never fantasized about becoming a fireman as a young boy. Now, some 50 years later, Miekes has to restrain himself from answering the alarm. “I was asked to join the department in 1963,� Miekes said with a chuckle. “They really needed the help and they said it would just be temporary. As a kid, it never entered my mind that I wanted to be a firefighter. Now, 50 years later, I am still helping them. I retired June 1st and when I hear the sirens, I still want to go.� Miekes, a retired construction worker with IBEW Local 8, said the intricacies of the firefighting job kept him in his temporary position. “The training really intrigued me,� Miekes said. “I really liked the medical training the most. I was able to bring EMS training to the department.� Being with fellow firefighters also kept Miekes involved with the department. “They really are a bunch of great guys,� he said. “There was a lot of camaraderie and the people really appreciated us. Fire Chief Joel Whitmore, said Miekes started the first EMS training in 1968. Whitmore added that he also trained firefighters when the city received its first tele-squirt truck. “Dale is a friendly guy who was always willing to help out the new guys in the department,� Whitmore said. “We recognized him this spring at our Firefighter of the Year Banquet. He received several state and local proclamations including one from our Mayor (Mark Stoner). He was with us for 50 years and that really says a lot.� Miekes said delivering a baby, rescuing
Dale Miekis retired last month after 50 years of service with the Northwood Fire Department. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) people from buildings, fires and car accidents are things he remembers quite well. “I guess what really stands out is the time in the early 1970’s when we rescued a family of five after they were hit by a train,�
Miekes said. “The man was a fellow firefighter and it was Christmas Eve. He was driving a brand new Mustang with three kids in the back. He had waited at Vicker’s Crossing, near Drouillard and Wales roads, for a
train to pass. He started to cross and did not see the second train approaching. We had to use the Jaws of Life to get them out. We had to get under the car to get the children out. Luckily, everybody survived.� Miekes said he is the only one in his family who wanted to be a firefighter. He and his late wife, Sally, who passed away in 1994, had four children: Kevin, who lives in Curtice; Renee who lives in Middleton Township; Patty, who resides in Findlay and Brenda, who lives in Arizona. Married to his current wife, Joyce, since 1999, the couple has eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren. “None of the kids wanted to be a firefighter,� Miekes said. “I think the children saw how much training there was to it and how much I was gone. They did not want to be a part of it.� Although he fights the urge to answer the call for help, Miekes said he is happy in retirement. “I can tell you, I miss the camaraderie with the fellas,� he said. “But I do not miss getting up in the middle of the night.�
39th Birmingham Festival two days of fun, food & dance By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com The 39th Annual Birmingham Ethnic Festival will take place on Consaul Street and throughout the Birmingham neighborhood on August 17-18, 2013. The festival will be open from noon to 10 pm on Saturday and from noon until 9 pm on Sunday. According to Betsy Ujvagi , Birmingham Festival Committee secretary, the festival this year has gone to a two day event in response to requests from vendors and visitors alike. “We had vendors and people asking for the last few years to make the festival a two-day event,� Ujvagi said. “The festival is always very popular with thousands of visitors. Now that it is two days, we expect even more people to come and enjoy our
neighborhood.� This family event will feature Hungarian and ethnic foods, arts and crafts exhibits, cultural displays, and a wide variety of music, dance and continuous entertainment. St. Stephen’s Catholic Church, the Hungarian Club of Toledo, VFW Post 4906 and Calvin United Church of Christ will feature their famous chicken paprikas and kolbasz dinners, as well as Hungarian pastries, paprikas noodles & gravy, kolbasz sandwiches, stuffed cabbages, and szalona sutes, otherwise known as Hunky Turkey. There will also be several other vendors providing a wide array of food items including Opa! Cuisine, A&M Concession, Old World Foods, K&K Concession, Sno Biz, Berry’s Goods, Rader Enterprise and Jeanie’s Weenies. “The food and the beer has always been a big draw to the festival,� Ujvagi said. “Every year, the festival keeps getting bigger.
More and more people are coming every year now and learning about Birmingham.� The entertainment also brings in the crowds, Ujvagi said. “We really have a little bit of something for everyone,� she said. “We have Hungarian dancers and bands, Irish dancers, the Cake Walkin’ Jass Band, and we will have Shout- a Beatles Tribute band on Saturday.� The 19th Annual Waiters Race will take place on Saturday at 4 p.m., at the VFW, Ujvagi said adding the race has been opened up to organizations outside of the Birmingham neighborhood. Arts and crafts will also be sold including Hungarian, Indian, African and American Indian jewelry, clothing, etc. A special tour of the Magyar Gardin will take place from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. Located at 2353 York Street, the garden
features a Monarch Butterfly Way station, community garden vegetable plots, an insect hotel and a working beehive. Visitors may also purchase honey and lavender sachets that were created from the garden. On Sunday, a Recognition Ceremony will be held at noon on the steps of St. Stephen’s Church, beginning with a flag raising ceremony. There will also be an announcement of the recipient of the Birmingham Friend of the Neighborhood Award, recognition of local and international guests, and the presentation of the Beer Keg Trophy to the winner of the Waiters Race. “I am not surprised that the festival has become a very popular event,� Ujvagi said. “The reason we have the festival is to celebrate and show who we are as a community. People from outside the neighborhood get to see who we are and that is the best thing possible.�

Lawyer picked to run for Sheehy’s city council seat By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The campaign committee of former Oregon Councilman and current State Rep. Mike Sheehy unanimously voted to give his petition for election to city council this fall to Democrat Joshua M. Hughes. Hughes, 37, is a partner in the law firm of D’Angelo & Hughes Co., L.P.A. of Toledo, where his practice is primarily focused on labor and employment law. Hughes was raised in East Toledo. He, wife Heather and children Ella and Evan moved to Oregon in 2007 and bought a house on Robindale, in the old Eastmoreland area, bound by Navarre and Starr avenues and Wheeling Street. Sheehy had already formed a campaign committee and secured a petition to campaign for re-election before he was sworn in as state representative from the 46th House District in June to fill the vacated seat of former State Rep. Matt Szollosi. Sheehy’s appointment to the state house left his campaign committee holding a petition for election to council with no candidate to elect. His campaign committee then unanimously
voted to give his petition to Hughes. “I am very excited that Mr. Sheehy’s committee has offered me the chance to campaign for election to city council in his stead,” said Hughes. “In my practice, we help victims of wrongdoing and stand up for the rights and well-being of working men and women. I will strive to do the same on city council.” Hughes said he had expressed an interest in pursuing Sheehy’s council seat soon after learning of the vacancy. “I filled out an application, attached a resume and sent it in to the campaign committee. I went through an interview process, and learned last week that I was chosen,” he said. Hughes has never before run for public office. So why is he interested? “My wife and I have chosen to make Oregon our home for our family,” said Hughes. “We have a 7-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son. I would like to do whatever I can to make Oregon better. As a lawyer and litigator I’ve gained experience in situations such as dispute resolution to contract negotiation to mediation that have allowed me to develop skills in working with people that will translate well to city

government.” Hughes said there are issues he would like to focus on as a councilman. “I don’t think Oregon’s broke, so I don’t think there is anything specific that needs to be fixed. But I think there are some things we can tweak,” said Hughes. “I think we can continue to strive to provide excellent public services while maintaining fiscal responsibility. I would like to continue to improve the infrastructure. The Safe Routes to School grants the city received to provide money for sidewalks is fantastic. I think we should continue to explore those options, with state funding assistance for public improvements. I’d also like to see what we can do to improve both the commercial and industrial aspects in Oregon.” He also wants to address crime prevention. “I’d like to see what I can do to crack down on vehicle break-ins. The Oregon Police Department does a fantastic job keeping citizens updated via Facebook. There just seems to be an awful lot of vehicle break-ins. Cars will be rummaged through if they are unlocked. If they’re
locked, they will be broken into. Several cars in my neighborhood have had been broken into several times within the last year. We need to do something to rectify that.” Sheehy said he was pleased by his committee’s vote for Hughes. “I am thrilled that Joshua has accepted my committee’s petition. I know he will continue my commitment to being a passionate advocate for the working men and women of Oregon,” said Sheehy. Szollosi said he was also happy Hughes got the nod. “I can’t think of a better person to step up to fill Representative Sheehy’s spot on the ballot,” said Szollosi, who also served on Oregon council before he was elected to the Legislature. “Joshua’s knowledge of the law, and dedication to Oregon will put him in a great position to help the city.” Hughes graduated from St. Francis de Sales High School, and earned his Bachelors and Juris Doctorate degrees from the University of Toledo.

Dustin Rd. Phase 2 to start By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Phase 2 of the Dustin Road improvement project will begin on Monday, Aug. 12. The project replaces the existing deteriorated concrete pavement on Dustin Road, where numerous businesses are located in the busy commercial district. Phase 2 consists of replacing the existing 6 inch concrete pavement with a new 8 inch concrete pavement. The project will also include replacing curbing, installation of pavement underdrains, adjustments to curb inlets, and partial replacement of driveway aprons. The road will be closed just east of Harbor Drive and west of Coy Road so that Phase 2 construction can begin. Access to all properties west of the Oregon Post Office will be from Isaac Streets Drive and Harbor Drive. Access to all properties east of the post office on Dustin Road, including the post office, will be from Coy Road. The detour route will be Harbor Drive, Navarre Avenue and Coy Road. The project, which is part of the 2013 roadway improvement program, will be constructed in six stages, which have been laid out by the city to maintain access to each property. The contractor has estimated that each stage of the project will last approximately three weeks each. Construction should be completed by the end of November. The remaining 480 feet of Dustin Road will include improvements to the Dustin Road and Coy Road intersection next year. The project calls for the installation of a new traffic signal and added turn lanes starting in the fall of 2014 with completion expected by the summer of 2015. The Dustin Road improvement project was to be constructed in three phases, but was condensed into two for savings in construction inspection time, and to reduce the impact on traffic for local businesses, according to Public Service Director Paul Roman. Awarding the bid City council at a meeting on July 22 awarded the contract for Phase 2 to Smith Paving & Excavating, which submitted a bid for $954,547.25. A $31,995 optional alternate bid to complete work by Nov. 17, 2013 was included in the amount.
Fundraiser planned A benefit dinner and auction for a Walbridge family who lost their home in a fire will be held Aug. 18 at the VFW Post 9963 at 109 Main Street. The benefit will be held from 3-7 p.m. and include a silent and live auction, raffles, and dinner. An account has been established at the State Bank on North Main Street for monetary donations. Other donations may be dropped off at the Walbridge Municipal Building. For information call Lauren at 419 2700385.
Audia Concrete Construction Inc., of Milford MI, submitted the lowest base bid at $889,072.70, with a $26,129.25 alternate optional bid. It was not awarded the contract due to errors in their bid, and it was not qualified for concrete pavement, just pavement patching and widening, according to Roman. Also, Roman said he had concerns about one of Audia’s references. “Smith has done a lot of work in northwest Ohio, including the City of Oregon,� said Roman. “In looking at everything throughout this entire bid, we are not comfortable in recommending Audia as the lowest and best bid. I clearly feel that Smith is the best bid for this project.� Council at a meeting on July 22 discussed the need to get the project completed this year. Council President Tom Susor said he was concerned that the contractor may not be able to get Phase 2 completed this year, despite the $31,995 alternate optional bid. “I want to see this project done as quickly and as efficiently as possible,� said Susor. “A contractor would not give a price for that optional bid if they didn’t think they could get it done,� said Roman. Councilman Sandy Bihn said she supports speeding up the project to reduce disruption to the businesses on Dustin Road. “At a cost of $31,000, I favor helping the businesses as much as possible and keeping the disruption to a minimum to the extent possible. We do get payroll taxes from those people. They’re all good businesses on Dustin,� said Bihn. “I would like to expedite the project as well,� said Councilman Jerry Peach. “My only reservation would be traffic interruption.� Phase 1, which was substantially completed last fall, replaced Dustin Road from Isaac Streets Drive to Harbor Drive. The construction cost for Phases 1 and 2 is $1,410,794, while the cost for the Coy and Dustin intersection project is estimated at $860,000. The project will be funded with a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) grant through the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration, which will pay 80 percent of the construction cost, according to Roman. Another closure Cedar Point Road between Wynn and Lallendorf roads, will be closed to through traffic from Thursday, Aug. 15 until Oct. 25, due to work related to the Oregon Flood Relief Erosion Control Project. The actual work zone, just west of Wynn Road, will be closed to all traffic. The road closure is necessary so that Miller Bros. Construction, Inc., can lower a trunk waterline and install a new bridge structure across Cedar Point Road as part of the project. The signed detour route is Wynn Road, Corduroy Road, and Lallendorf Road.

Have rising prices caused you to skip local entertainment attractions like Cedar Point, Put-in-Bay, or the Toledo Zoo? Yes No To cast your ballot, go to www.presspublications.com Larry Pond McDonald’s. I like to get their Mocha Frappe, even though my stepson works at Tim Horton’s.”
Nancy Bumpus Millbury “I get my coffee at Petro every morning because it’s close and I know everybody there. They are all super nice there.”
Keep fireworks going To the editor: We want to thank the Elmore Chamber of Commerce for sponsoring the yearly Elmore fireworks. The fireworks have been beautiful and enjoyed by so many people of all ages. How sad, this year is the last year the chamber is sponsoring the fireworks. People will miss the gorgeous display of many designs bursting forth in the dark sky near the 4th of July. The fireworks display has become a tradition in Elmore, so let us join together as citizens of the Elmore community to have another beautiful display take place in 2014. With everyone pitching in and donating what they can, this endeavor will materialize. The Elmore Historical Society has graciously offered to accept donations towards the fireworks but they are looking for someone to take over the responsibility of the fireworks project. If anyone is interested in being in charge of the 2014 fireworks please let Mayor Lowell Krumnow know. In the meantime send your fireworks donation to the Elmore Historical Society, 353 Ottawa Street, P.O. Box 154, Elmore, O. 43416. On your check in the memo part write fireworks money. The donation is tax deductible and would show your support for this endeavor. Elmore has pulled together so many times and we know it will again. Tom and Betty Miller Elmore

Supporting seniors To the editor: I want to commend the members of the Oregon City Council for their unanimous vote to support the seniors. By voting yes to place a levy on the November ballot, our city will not only have a reliable and continued source of revenue for the Oregon Senior Center, but will be able to offer many needed services. After many years of independence, seniors now have to rely on their children or other friends and family to help with everyday chores and needs. In today’s economy, many struggle just to make ends meet. All Oregon voters need to rally behind this proposed levy and vote yes in November. I must admit I am a bit partial to this cause, I advocate daily for our “seasoned citizens.” Paula Benton, Executive Director James “Wes” Hancock Senior Center
Tribe Nation To the editor: Just a quick note, thank you for the very nice article that you wrote about the Baseball Museum Garage (If you’re a Cleveland Indians’ fan, you’ve got to see this, July 22). I was overwhelmed by
it. I was expecting one or two paragraphs, not the almost full page write-up. I have received many nice calls regarding it. Wherever I go people compliment me about it — Indians’ fans are coming out of the woodwork to reminiscence about their Tribe memories and stories. I think it has had a very positive effect in rejuvenating the Tribe Nation in Northwest Ohio and baseball in general. Once again, thanks from a very proud Cleveland Indians’ fan.

millions of dollars that will partially be absorbed by the residents of Northwood in the form of higher taxes. At this point, the focus needs to be on the improvement of our city overall. We need businesses to fill the vacant buildings in our community. City council and the mayor need to get hard at work to attract businesses and restaurants to our community. It’s an embarrassment. I am all for the building of new schools but personally feel we need to focus on the condition of the city so people actually want to live here.

What you do for others can have a great impact Dare to Live
by Bryan Golden
“
Look for opportunities to be of service. Let go of the need to receive something in return.
“
It’s not what you do for yourself that has the greatest impact, rather it’s what you do for others that really matters. You can get whatever you want in life by helping enough other people get what they want. Although this concept has been proven time and time again throughout history, many people take the opposite approach by focusing on what they can do for themselves. They have an attitude of “what’s in it for me,” and “what can I get,” when deciding on a course to take. To illustrate this principle, let’s look at a prospective employee at a job interview. The candidate is concerned about pay, benefits, and vacation time. Although these issues are relevant, they have no bearing on the person’s suitability for the position. A job offer will only be made to someone who can best solve an employer’s problems. A successful candidate utilizes their interview to expound on how much they can be of service to the employer. When the employer wants what the candidate has to offer, they respond by offering something in return; salary and benefits. For another example, consider Linda and Bob, two employees looking for a promotion. Bob feels that his obligation is to perform only the work he is being paid for. He reasons that if his employer wants him to do more work and take on additional responsibilities, they should first give him a raise and promotion. Bob decides how much he will do based on how much he’s getting. Linda on the other hand, always does more than she is being paid for. She looks for work that needs to be done without being asked and is always willing to assume more responsibility. Linda does as much as she can without worrying about how much she is getting. Most employers would readily promote Linda over Bob. Even if Linda doesn’t get a promotion with her current employer,
she will get one with another. It’s what you do for others that determines what you get in return. Successful businesses are the ones that do more for their customers and employees than is expected. Customers are thrilled when they feel as if they are getting more than their money’s worth. They are more likely to return to a business that treats them well. Employees work harder for, and stay longer with employers where they are respected and appreciated. The principle is universal. What you receive is based on what you give. This cause and effect doesn’t always work immediately. There’s no way to know how long it will take. Some people become cynical, thinking their efforts are going unrewarded. Their response is to cut back on what they give until they receive what they
want. This is a self-defeating strategy that is doomed to fail. Giving always precedes getting. However, you must give without expectation of receiving something in return. This concept goes against our conditioning. It requires a lot of faith. If you have trouble with this approach, look at it from a different perspective. Since giving with strings attached is proven to fail, you have nothing to lose by taking the opposite approach; giving without expectation. Although it may feel uncomfortable at first, give it a try. As you experience more successes, it will become

At left, Ohio’s boxcar from The Gratitude Train that can now be found at Camp Perry. At right, the bust of French soldier General Marquis de Lafayette, the most impressive gift on the boxcar. (Lafayette photo courtesy of the Ohio Historical Society) When the train made its way through France and Italy it was met with exuberant crowds. In one small Italian town, 10,000 came out to show their appreciation. The French people, so moved by this gesture of friendship, reciprocated. According to the website themetrains.com, Andre Picard, a French veteran and railroad worker, led an initiative to send us a train full of gifts. The train was called The Merci Train, sometimes called The Gratitude Train. Just like the Friendship Train, it wended its way across France collecting thank-you gifts from tens of thousands of French citizens. Many of the items were personal, like handmade toys and crafts. The most impressive gift in the Ohio boxcar was a bust of General Marquis de Lafayette, the French soldier who fought for our country during the Revolutionary War. Other items included a doll, a copper kettle, a bonnet and essays and drawings from school children. The Merci Train consisted of 49 boxcars, one for each state and one to be shared by Washington D.C. and the Territory of Hawaii, according to the website mercitrain.
“
The nation was so enamored by Pearson’s idea that one train could not pull the load...
“
The vintage boxcar at Camp Perry in Port Clinton is not a destination point. Not enough visual appeal. Besides, you can only view it from the outside. Its contents are housed in Columbus at the Ohio Historical Society. But, the story behind the boxcar is worth retelling because it speaks of the generosity of the American people and the gratitude of those who suffered the devastation of war. Two years after World War II the allies were in the process of rebuilding Europe and a newspaper columnist from Los Angeles, Drew Pearson, thought the communists were getting too much credit for their meager contributions. He wanted to show the world the generosity of the American people. In his columns and broadcasts, he asked individuals to contribute food from their gardens, homes and farm fields. These contributions would be loaded onto a train that made its way across the country from Los Angeles to New York. Pearson’s idea sparked an outpouring of good will across the country, writes Dorothy R. Scheele on the website The Friendship Train of 1947. As the train moved eastward it was met by trucks full of food coming from the north and the south. Toledo’s goal was to fill five freight cars with wheat, flour, condensed milk and dried vegetables, according to an article in the Toledo Blade on November 13. A cartoon show was held at the Paramount Theatre with admission being one can of evaporated milk. The nation was so enamored by Pearson’s idea that one train could not pull the load over mountainous terrain. By the time the train reached New York for departure to France and Italy, there were three trains pulling 270 boxcars and more than $40 million worth of food, fuel and clothing. Scheele writes every package had a label that read: “All races and creeds make up the vast melting pot of America, and in a democratic and Christian spirit of good will toward men, we, the American people, have worked together to bring this food to your doorsteps, hoping that it will tide you over until your own fields are again rich and abundant with crops.” The contributions were in addition to the efforts of the federal government via the Marshall Plan. Everything on the Friendship Train was donated — the food, the fuel, the transportation and the labor.
org. The boxcars would have meaning for the millions of American soldiers who fought in World War I and World War II as they were used to move troops in both wars. The cars were built between 1872 and 1885 and each could transport 40 men or eight horses. The quarters were so cramped that the men barely had enough room to sit and they had to sleep in rows. Each boxcar was emblazoned with a plaque depicting the front of a steam engine and flowers representing Flanders Field,

the final resting place for many American soldiers from both wars. They were also adorned with plaques depicting the coatof-arms from each French province. The Merci Train arrived in New York Feb. 3, 1949 on a ship called Magellan. According to the website metrains.com, the ship was met by “waves of aircraft and a flotilla of boats.” The box cars were loaded onto flat cars and transported to each state, where they were welcomed by dignitaries and veterans and their families. Today, most are forgotten. Ohio’s boxcar is at Camp Perry. Georgia’s is at The Southern Museum of Locomotive and Civil War History in Kennesaw. Others are at parks, railroad museums and Veteran posts. A few can no longer be found, but as the last of the World War II veterans take their final ride, these symbols of friendship between the citizens of two allied nations remind us of both the sacrifices made by American soldiers and the gratitude shown in return.

The Walk & Roll-a-Thon celebrates the achievements of those living with Spina Bifida and helps raise awareness about the importance of folic acid in preventing birth defects. Registration for the event is free. Participants who raise $50 or more are eligible for an Official Walk & Roll-a-Thon t-shirt and other awards. The event includes a booth at the Ada Harvest & Herb Festival, walking in the festival’s parade at 10 a.m., and Walk & Roll
registration at 11 a.m., with the main event kicking off at 1 p.m. Spina Bifida, an incomplete closure of the spinal column that occurs in the first month of pregnancy, is the most frequently occurring, permanently disabling birth defect in the U.S. By consuming 400 mcg (0.4 mg) of folic acid prior to pregnancy, women may reduce their chances of having a child with Spina Bifida by as much as 70 percent. Folic acid also plays a role in the growth of healthy cells, may contribute to a healthy heart and may help prevent certain types of cancer. For more information about the Walk & Roll-a-Thon, or about the Spina Bifida Association of Northwest Ohio, contact Jennifer O’Brien at 419-794-0561, visit www. sbanwo.org or email sba@sbanwo.org.

On Saturday, July 13 at Otterbein Portage Valley, Pemberville, under blue skies and with cool breeze, walkers set a new record for their second annual Mini Relay For Life. This year’s total of $11,413 exceeded the goal of $10,000. The event celebrated the 100th birthday of the American Cancer Society with different fun birthday themes throughout the 10-hour event. According to Otterbein Portage Valley Relay for Life chairperson Michele Kipplen, the event was a remarkable achievement, adding that the 2013 goal was a big jump from last year. “Nine teams were present, 189 luminaires were lit, 19 cancer survivors were present, nine local businesses donated time and materials, $395 was raised in the chair auction, and everyone came together for one huge success story,” Kipplen said. The winning team was the OPV Rollers, a team comprised of Otterbein Portage Valley residents which raised $1,800. During the year, they held fundraisers that increased awareness about the event and gave them a big head start in earnings prior to the Relay event. The Mini Relay For Life is one of the four Relays in Wood County that raise money for the American Cancer Society to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. The funds raised truly make a difference in the fight against cancer – just ask one of the nearly 14 million cancer survivors who will celebrate another birthday this year! To get involved with the 2014 Otterbein Portage Valley Relay, call the community at 419-833-7000 for more information.

Pemberville Pancreatic Cancer Walk set for Aug. 18 The Second Annual Pemberville Pancreatic Cancer Research Three Mile Walk will be held Aug. 18. The walk is organized by the children of a Pemberville man who lost his life in a brief but brutal battle with pancreatic cancer. Robert Kohring, Sr. was always the picture of health, according to his daughter, Lori Laake. “He was athletic – he biked, played basketball and he walked miles a day – and everyone thought he’d live to be 100.� The family was shocked in March 2010 when the former Marine was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. They were even more stunned when, just 54 days later, he succumbed to the disease. Since then, Laake and her siblings have been dedicating themselves to raising funds and awareness about the disease, which also claimed Apple co-founder Steve Jobs; actor Patrick Swayze; singer Luciano Pavarotti and Carnegie-Mellon University professor Randy Pausch, acclaimed for his “Last Lecture.� “Our dad was born, raised and died in Pemberville,� Laake said. “He biked and walked the streets so many times – many people knew him – so we thought it would be very fitting to hold the walk there.� The event will be hosted by The Lustgarten Foundation, a nonprofit organization established by Cablevision in 1998 in honor of one of its executives, Marc Lustgarten, who died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 52 years. The company has made a multi-year commitment to underwrite all of the Foundation’s administrative expenses to ensure that every cent of every donation goes directly to pancreatic cancer research. To date, the Foundation has provided more than $42 million in support of research to find early detection methods, better treatments, and ultimately, a cure. Major projects include sequencing the genome of pancreatic cancers and an early detection initiative to develop a blood test to detect the disease. More than 250 people participated in last year’s walk, which raised more than $11,000 for pancreatic cancer research. “That was a huge feat for a small-town event such as ours,� Laake said. The walk will begin at the Pemberville Fire Department, 104 E. Front St. Registration will open at noon and the walk will start at 1 p.m. Participants will walk a three-mile route around the village of Pemberville. All routes are handicap/stroller accessible. Dogs are permitted at the walk on a leash. Parking is available on site. A minimum pledge of $30 is requested for early, online registration and $35 the day of the event. The pledge minimum may include a personal donation, and/or contributions pledged in support of pancreatic cancer research. To register or for more information, visit Lustgarten.org and click on the Pemberville Walk.
Toledo citizens get moving on walking paths Toledo-area residents are encouraged to walk for 30 minutes in celebration of the new American Heart Association designated walking paths. The American Heart Association is joining with Dave’s Running to sponsor all walking paths in Lucas and Wood counties. There are several paths in existence and more will be created throughout 2013. “My Heart. My Life� is the American Heart Association’s national initiative that champions walking because statistics show it has the lowest dropout rate of any physical activity. The Toledo walking paths are part of a system of more than 200 such paths currently designated across the country. For a list of paths nationwide or to map a custom walking route in your neighborhood, visit startwalkingnow.org. In January 2010, the American Heart Association defined the seven key factors to ideal cardiovascular health. Physical activity is one of those factors; however, only 15 percent of American adults achieve the
association’s recommended levels of moderate aerobic exercise (150 or more minutes per week). The “My Heart. My Life� initiative encourages all Americans to get started on a regular walking program as a way to achieve their physical activity goals and to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease by as much as 30 percent. “Dave’s Running is honored to be a part of such an invigorating initiative like ‘My Heart. My Life,’� said James Mason, owner. “It’s exciting to see our community work together to make positive strides to improve the health of our residents.� “Healthy lifestyle choices should be a community priority. Nearly 67 percent of Americans are overweight and are at risk for heart complications from sedentary lives,� said Lori Mika, Heart Walk Director for the American Heart Association, Northwest Ohio Division. “Walking just 30 minutes a day can make a big difference in cardiovascular health.�
On the right path The “My Heart. My Lifeâ€? program offers several free options to help walkers get started on the right path including: • Three customized walking programs (beginner, intermediate and advanced); • Online tracking tools to document calories consumed, steps taken and routes walked; • Sole-mates social networking capabilities to find and support like-minded walkers; • A grocery list builder and hearthealthy recipes; • Downloadable seasonal walking guides with tips to maintain a routine regardless of the weather; • Walking videos, produced in collaboration with ExerciseTV, making an at-home workout easier with tips and motivation; For more information, call 1-800-AHAUSA1 or visit startwalkingnow.org.

Tips to avoid putting on the ‘Freshman 15’ Trying to avoid the dreaded “Freshman 15” weight gain? While college is an adjustment, it doesn’t have to mean an adjustment in your pants size. In fact, the Freshman 15 is a myth. Freshman students gain only 2.5 to 3.5 pounds on average during their first year in college, according to a recent study published in Social Science Quarterly. But be advised, the same study finds that college students do gain moderate but steady weight during and after college. So stay vigilant about diet and exercise. Be prepared – “Stress, anxiety and homesickness can all lead to overeating.” warns registered dietitian nutritionist, Kristi King, spokesperson with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Before you snack, ask yourself why you’re doing so. Smart snacks – Late nights and stress can lead to bingeing, so don’t keep junk food on hand. Don’t skip breakfast – “Breakfast wakes up the metabolism and provides energy to the brain and muscles for the day’s activities,” says King. Cafeteria 101 – The dining hall can be a friend or foe. There may be high-calorie foods and oversized portions, but most universities provide nutritious options too. Opt for foods that are baked, broiled, steamed, grilled or roasted, while steering clear of foods that are buttered, fried or swimming in cream sauce. Alcohol – “Alcohol is readily available and can pack on the pounds quickly if you’re not careful,” warns King. For students over 21, King recommends light beer and avoiding drinks mixed with regular soft drinks or sugary juices. Exercise – Regular exercise pays dividends, helping control weight, improve one’s mood and control stress. Get help – If you’d like help creating a healthy meal plan, or want tips for controlling weight, check to see if your university offers nutrition counseling services. More tips to maintain a healthy weight your freshman year and beyond can be found at www.eatright.org.

Department of Health state infant testing The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) has announced that it has added severe combined immunodeficiency disorder (SCID) to the list of diseases that all newborns in Ohio are screened for at birth. The ODH laboratory began screening for SCID July 29, using the same newborn screening specimens already collected to test for 35 other rare disorders. “The new screening item helps move Ohio forward in our fight against infant mortality,” said Dr. Ted Wymyslo, director of the Ohio Department of Health. “More than 1,000 babies die before their first birthday in Ohio. By detecting SCID early, we can help our state’s infants have a healthier start to life and less medical problems down the road.” SCID is a group of genetic disorders that causes profound defects of the immune

system, the body’s line of defense against all types of infections. SCID is one of the most critical immune system problems and occurs in an estimated one in 40,000 newborns. If it is not treated, most affected infants die within the first year of life. The screening is expected to identify approximately three infants with SCID each year in Ohio. Ohio’s newborn screening program began in 1964 with one disorder and now screens for 36 disorders. Approximately 140,000 newborns are screened annually. The blood to be tested is drawn by a simple heel stick within 48 hours of birth. The screening provides an opportunity to detect medical conditions that, if not addressed early, would cause serious problems like developmental delays, major illness or death.
When severe weather hits and the power goes out for a few hours or more, many consumers wonder if it’s safe to consume the foods that are in the refrigerator. The Sandusky County Health Department reminds residents to follow the recommendations provided by the US Food and Drug Administration. When the power goes out: • Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. • The refrigerator will keep food cold for about 4 hours if it is unopened. • Refrigerators should be kept at 40 degrees F or below for proper food storage. Once the power is restored: • Check the temperature inside of your refrigerator and freezer. • If an appliance thermometer was kept in the freezer, check the temperature when the power comes back on. If the freezer thermometer reads 40 degrees F or below, the food is safe and may be refrozen. • If a thermometer has not been kept in the freezer, check each package of food to determine its safety. You can’t rely on appearance or odor. If the food still contains ice crystals or is 40 degrees F or below, it is safe to refreeze or cook. • Refrigerated food should be safe as long as the power was out for no more than four hours. Keep the door closed as much as possible. • Discard any perishable food (such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs or leftovers) that has been above 40 degrees F for two hours or more. Do not use contaminated water to wash dishes, brush your teeth, wash and prepare food, wash your hands, make ice, or make baby formula. And remember, if you are uncertain about the safety of any foods remember, “When in doubt throw it out.” For more information, go to www. alwayschoosehealth.com.

Seniors reason Eagles picked to win Roepke gets first win at Fremont
By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Can it really be that long? That’s the question Eastwood boys golf coach Mike Gardner was asking himself when pressed to recall the last time the Eagles won a conference title. The answer is 2005, when they won the title in the now defunct Suburban Lakes League. Eastwood and the rest of the former SLL teams that joined the Northern Buckeye Conference in 2011 have taken a back seat to Woodmore, which won the last SLL title and the first two NBC championships. The Eagles tied for second with Lake last year and finished second to Woodmore in 2011. If their performance at the 18-team Maumee Panther Invitational on Tuesday at Heatherdowns Country Club is in any indication, the Eagles will have to be reckoned with this season. Eastwood finished seventh with a 330 team score. “That’s better than we’ve done there for many years,” said Gardner, in his 42nd year coaching the Eagles. “That was a strong field and I was really pleased with our team score.” The low man for Eastwood was last year’s NBC Player of the Year, Steven Bruning, who shot a 2-over 73 to tie for third out of 106 golfers. Bruning was the eighth player under Gardner to earn league player of the year honors, with the last being Tommy Blanchard in 2011. The SLL did not start naming that award until 1994. Gardner expects Bruning to have another big year. “He has played a lot of golf,” Gardner said. “He played in the Toledo Junior Golf Association tournaments and the American Junior Golf Association, and he went down to Ohio State’s Gray Course and tried to qualify into the final round of the AJGA. He didn’t make it, but he shot a 75. He was rubbing elbows with all the best players in the Midwest. “To become an elite golfer, you have play in some tournaments and hit a lot of practice balls. He did two things you gotta do to become a top-notch player. So far this year, he’s a little more consistent. He just doesn’t get very many shots that aren’t at least satisfactory. He hits very few poor shots. He hits the ball maybe 30-40 yards farther this year with his driver, and he’s a more solid putter this year, too.” The Eagles return the bulk of last year’s team save for Ross Bockbrader , who earned All-NBC second-team honors last season. Bockbrader was the Eagles’ lone district qualifier last fall. Eastwood’s other top players are senior Kyle Waynick, juniors David Krukemyer and River Redman, and sophomore Nick Coffman. Krukemyer overcame a rocky start on Tuesday and finished with an 80 at Heatherdowns. “David is very long off the tee,” Gardner said. “You can’t substitute too much for distance. Last year David was by far the longest hitter on the team. He just needs to channel the direction down the fairway. He’s getting consistent off the tee and his short game is usually solid, and he’s a good putter. He may be the most knowledgeable person on the team about golf – rules, course management, clubs. That doesn’t hurt.”

In the AAA Ohio Auto Club Dirt Trucks, Woodville’s Dan Roepke Jr. held off John Ivy the last half of the race to score his first win of the season Saturday at Fremont Speedway. It was the seventh win of his career at the track. “I didn’t know who was behind me but I wanted to see this thing go flag to flag with being able to start up front. I heard Johnny back there but I wasn’t going to give him any room…that’s for sure,” said Roepke beside his Perkins Tree Service/Johnny’s Electric backed #88. “I have to thank Dennis Level. We blew a motor last week and he got one back together. I want to thank my dad and Adam for helping get this thing back together.” Dan Roepke and Jeff Ward brought the field to the green for the 20 lap feature for the dirt trucks with Roepke gaining the advantage. As Roepke pulled away from Ward a torrid battle ensued for third between Matt Foos, John Ivy, Kent Brewer, Shawn Valenti and Art Ball. Ivy would take third on lap three with Valenti moving into fourth with five laps scored. Just as Roepke had built a huge lead Willie Keegan would lose a wheel on lap seven to bring out the caution. A lap and another caution for a tangle involving Brewer and Cory McCaughey. On the ensuing restart Ward would spin. The restart running order with 12 laps remaining was Roepke, Ivy, Valenti, Foos, Ball and Dustin Keegan. Ball would spin on lap 11 and when the green flew Ivy was glued to Roepke’s rear bumper. Following the final caution on lap 13, the last seven laps became the Roepke, Ivy and Valenti show as that trio pulled away from Dustin Keegan, Brian Melnek and Andy Keegan. Roepke would not budge from the bottom groove and went on to the win over Valenti, Ivy, Dustin Keegan and Andy Keegan. Persistent rain showers last Friday evening forced the cancellation of racing on Edward Jones of Clyde/Mike Neill Financial Advisor Night at Attica Raceway Park. Ohio’s Finest Racing speedplant was off Aug. 9 for the annual Attica Fair but will resume racing on Aug. 17. There are just four races left in the 2013 season at Attica Raceway Park. Aug. 17 will be a Kistler Racing Products FAST (Fremont Attica Sprint Title) Championship Series point event for the O’Reilly Auto Part 410 Sprints and a JLH General Contractor FAST Championship Series point event for the Foster’s Auto Body 305 Sprints.

New Stritch coach brings trail of success with him By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com
“
The key is for us to get off to a fast start and see if we can win some games early and have that momentum carry over into the rest of the season.
“
First-year Cardinal Stritch football coach Brian Wical was hired in December to get the Cardinals’ program going in the right direction. It won’t be easy, but Wical has been through this process before. Wical, 25, became an assistant coach at his high school alma mater, Lima Central Catholic, six years ago and helped turn head coach Jerry Cooper’s Thunderbirds from a .500 program into one of the top Division V programs in Ohio. “We had a lot of success when I was at LCC,” Wical said. “We went 5-5 my first year and we improved every year. We went 9-3 in 2009 and 12-2 in 2010, when we lost in the state semifinals to Youngstown Ursuline. In 2011 we were 10-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state and got upset in the first round of the playoffs. Last year we were 10-0 and lost in the second round. We had won 29 regular-season games in a row when I left.” Wical inherits a Stritch program that is coming off a 1-9 season (0-8 Toledo Area Athletic Conference) and has had more head coaches in the past 10 years than anyone cares to count. As of Aug. 7, this year’s team had 33 players but just four seniors. Wical, however, said he is up for the challenge despite this being his first season as a head coach. “I always wanted to be a head football coach,” he said. “I applied at several places the year before and I got an interview at a couple places. I probably wasn’t ready yet. I spent all of 2012 trying to improve myself as a coach and recognize my own shortcomings. I saw the Stritch job come open and it was only an hour and a half away (from
Brian Wical Lima) and it was a Catholic school. I had an opportunity to apply and see what happens, and here I am a head coach now.” Wical, who played tight end at LCC before graduating in 2006, was the Thunderbirds’ wingbacks coach and offensive coordinator. He has retained two Stritch assistant coaches in defensive coordinator Gary Allen and line coach Tom Katafiasz. “We brought exactly the same things to Stritch from LCC,” Wical said. “We played seven-on-seven this summer with the same
philosophy we ran at LCC, but I don’t have the same caliber athletes we had at LCC. I didn’t think we put (the Cardinals) in a good position to win games. We haven’t competed yet, so it’s hard to make that call. We’ve gone to an old split-back veer offense and we’ve had more success in practice against our guys. I’m trying to blend what I did at LCC and what I want to try to do here a little bit.” Wical said he plans to run a 3-5-3 defense, due to the dearth of defensive line-
men on the roster. “We have 33 guys on the roster and most of our guys are not linemen,” he said. “We thought it might be easier for us to find three quality starting defensive linemen and plug in two solid backups behind them. We’ve got a ton of guys starting at linebacker who are tough and flying around a little bit. I’m hoping by doing that it will allow us to get after teams up front and pressure quarterbacks into making mistakes.” Wical said priority No. 1 is teaching the Cardinals’ players what it takes to win. “I don’t think they’ve ever been pushed to an elite level,” Wical said. “They don’t know what it takes to win consistently. We’re trying to fix that. You want to bring in a winning attitude and a high amount of energy. If it means we do the same repetition 15-20 times, you do it 15-20 times until you do it right. It’s not acceptable to go through the motions. We challenge our kids every day about what are we getting out of being out there.” Cardinal Stritch Athletic Director Craig Meinzer called Wical “an up-and-comer who has a lot of great ideas for the school.” “He has a lot of energy,” Meinzer said. “Hopefully it works out for him and the kids buy into it.” The Cardinals will open the season Aug. 30 against Woodward, a team they beat for their only win last season, with 18 returning lettermen. “I really don’t have an expectation,” Wical said of the 2013 season. “I think we will be able to catch teams off guard. Our schedule sets up pretty favorably where we have some favorable games in the first four weeeks. The key for us is to get off to a fast start and see if we can win some games early and have that momentum carry over into the rest of the season.”
Nate Dussel wins battle in Fremont Credit Union feature Just like the previous week, Bradner’s Nate Dussel was locked in a great battle in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature at Fremont Speedway. After a side-by-side fight with Alvin Roepke from lap 8 to lap 19, Dussel was finally able to slide into the lead and went on to score his fifth win of the season at Fremont. It is the 10th overall win of 2013 for Dussel who owns five victories at Attica Raceway Park as well. It was the 12th career win at Fremont for Dussel who flipped his car doing victory donuts. “About every time I pull in here one of the track guys asks if I’m going to do donuts if I win. I told them it’s been too wet to do donuts…I found that out tonight,” joked Dussel of his Berrier Fabrication/Kylynn Mfg./Gressman Powersports/Dussel Welding/Conrad Transport/Kistler Racing Products backed machine. “This is absolutely unbelievable. It’s sweet to get it done in front of all the fans. Alvin did a hell of a job racing me hard and clean,” added Dussel. “I want to thank Scott (Gressman). He’s done so much for my career. I just can’t thank him enough. I have to thank Tommy Dussel and Bill Berrier and his family.” The win really tightens up the point battle for the JLH General Contractor FAST
Championship Series title. In the Computer Man Sports Compacts Grand Rapids, Ohio’s Brandon Myers held off challenges from Amanda Shammo to score his third win of the season. It is the fifth of his career at Fremont. “I have to thank my grandpa for all he does and grandma for letting him do it. I have to thank Mom and Dad for all their support,” said Myers beside his BG Radiator/Mark Shultz Signs/R&R Repair/Loren Sautter backed No. 32. T.J. Michael and Alvin Roepke would bring the 305 sprints to the green for their 25-lap feature. Michael would grab the lead but Roepke kept racing to his outside as Dussel moved into third followed by Paul Weaver, Jordan Ryan and Dustin Dinan. Roepke drove into the lead on lap three and the leaders quickly moved into heavy lapped traffic by the sixth circuit. Ryan would smack the front stretch wall on lap six bringing out the caution. The restart order was Roepke, Michael, Dussel, Weaver, Dinan and Dean Jacobs. Dussel would move into second on lap eight and closed on Roepke as Michael was locked in a spirited battle with Weaver for third. Roepke and Dussel raced side by side around the track over the next few laps before Michael’s motor expired on lap 12 as Steve Rando and Seth Schneider spun to avoid the stalled machine. When the green reappeared Roepke and Dussel continued their fantastic battle with

Weaver would take second on lap 23 but couldn’t close on Dussel who drove to the win. Weaver, Roepke, Jacobs and Ivy would round out the top five. Taylor Holland and Chevy Farmer brought the field to the green for the Computer Man Sports Compacts. But it was third starter Myers who jumped into the lead over Amanda Shammo, Holland, Andrew Schroeder and Brandon Leighton. Leighton and Schroeder would move into third and fourth by lap two. And with four laps in, Shammo was pressuring Myers for the lead. Myers was able to hold on for the win over Shammo, Evan Patynko, McKenzie Biddle and Holland.

The native of Ketchum, Idaho, also set a new Walleye record by finishing the season as a plus-20. “We saw firsthand last season the high competition level that Cody plays with,” Head Coach Nick Vitucci said. “He is a proven defenseman that is strong in all facets of the game.” Lampl has appeared in a professional total of 216 games between ECHL teams Las Vegas, Idaho, Utah and, plus two games in the American Hockey League with Abbotsford and Grand Rapids. In those games, the 27-year-old has racked up 322 penalty minutes and 58 points (8 goals, 50 assists). Prior to his professional career, Lampl spent four seasons at Colorado College.

The Press Box Erard says Burton gone, but his memory continues By J. Patrick Eaken and Yaneek Smith sports@presspublications.com Oregon resident Larry Erard says people still ask him about famous fast pitch softball pitcher Gerald Burton, even though Burton passed away at age 75 on August 30, 2011. Burton was known as the infamous “Mr. Softball” during his role with a fourman traveling softball team, of which he was the star pitcher. “His great talent of hurling softballs at speeds of 100 miles an hour has thrilled many fans,” Erard said. “He will always remain in our hearts and our prayers.” Hidden ball tricks, pitching from second base and ripping the leather covering
off the baseball and injecting it with lead — those were just a few of the shenanigans that came with the traveling softball group that was a popular item throughout the Midwest in the 1980s. The group, which was made up of just four players, was a fixture in summer entertainment for a number of years, from its founding in 1978 to its dissolution in ‘85. The founder and manager of the group was Erard, a man who was active on the local sports scene. Erard coached a number of sports, among them basketball and baseball, including one player who went on to play for the Harlem Globetrotters. The members of the four-man team included catcher Don “Chopper” Schmeltz, shortstop Doug Brummett, second baseman Greg Christian and Burton. Schmeltz, the longtime coach of the Pemberville Post 183 American Legion baseball team and former Eastwood coach, replaced Mr. Softball’s initial catcher, John Pirrwitz, who left the group. After Mr. Baseball, Christian took a long stint as the Cardinal Stritch head varsity baseball coach. The group would constantly try to confuse and bewilder the opposition, running the wrong way on the base paths, having the bat boy come in to sometimes pitch and constantly moving the pitcher’s mound around. They won, according to Erard, roughly 450 games and losing approximately five.
they were on national television?” Yet another story told is about the team’s pitcher, Burton, who was discovered by Erard after pitching a perfect game while both were attending a tournament in Cincinnati. Oddly enough, Burton sang the national anthem before each event.
Sports announcements
Gerald Burton The group traveled throughout Ohio, Michigan and Indiana, competing against other softball teams, and even, on occasion, against some prison teams. The highlight for the group came in the summer of 1984 when the television program Real People, which aired on NBC, taped a segment with the group and later aired it on television. “We had a big party at Tony Packo’s and watched the show when it aired,” said Erard. “That was probably the highlight, being on NBC.

There are many situations where we experience loss ambiguously. A family member suffering from a brain injury or who is becoming senile certainly fits the criteria for ambiguous loss, because they are physically present but psychologically absent. Homesickness is also a case of ambiguous loss because the person missed can be psychologically present, on the phone, for instance, but be physically absent. Choosing to move away from home or to break up with a romantic partner are clear cases of ambiguous loss. Missing persons, and cases where someone is lost are particularly difficult forms of ambiguous
eek: Ambiguous Loss
loss. In some cases, the ambiguity resolves, people regain their health or missing persons are found, but often the ambiguity remains and there may never be closure. Dealing with these situations requires the ability to live with ambiguity. Usually there is no easy answer, and the temptation to solve these problems only exacerbates the experience of ambiguous loss, because it holds out the prospect of closure or resolution when there is none. - “Lord, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you. May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry." Psalm 88:1-2

Teet ~ Baney
Herman J. Jeskey Herman J. Jeskey, 77, passed away at Hospice of Northwest Ohio on August 1, 2013 surrounded by his loving family. He was born on June 20, 1936 to Herman and Helen (Mardis) Jeskey in Adena, Ohio. He graduated from Adena High School in 1954. Herman was a veteran of the US Army. He worked as a railroad conductor brakeman for Norfolk Southern Railroad for 43 years before retiring in 1998. While he worked for the railroad, Herman was active in the Railroad United Transportation Union where he was the past secretary, treasurer, general and local chairman. He also was a member of PRUCA and the Knights of Columbus St. Jerome’s Chapter. Herman was very proud of his Polish heritage and traveled to Poland many times. He enjoyed visiting family there, castles and even toured Pope John’s birthplace. Poland was not the only place Herman visited; he had also been to Hawaii, Bahamas, Jamaica, Las Vegas among others. In his spare time Herman enjoyed and was an avid golfer and bowler. Herman is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Dolores “Toots"; children, Jean Jeskey, Lori Gardull, Kathy Jeskey; grandchildren, Brandy (Chris) Huddleston, Jr., Madison, Carly, Connor and Samantha; great grandson, Dominic; sister, Mary Margaret Taggart; brothers, Richard, Raymond, Bernie and Bill; many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; infant son; sister, Geraldine Steffl; son-in-law, Pete Gardull. Arrangements were handled by the Eggleston Meinert & Pavley Funeral Home, Oregon Chapel. Funeral services were held at St. Adalbert’s Catholic Church, Toledo. Interment followed in Lake Township Cemetery. Those wishing an expression of sympathy in Herman’s name are asked to consider the Jeskey Grandchildren Education Fund in care of Huntington Bank.

Crossing Over Oh, please don’t feel guilty It was just my time to go. I see you are still feeling sad, And the tears just seem to flow. We all come to earth for our lifetime, And for some it’s not many years I don’t want you to keep crying You are shedding so many tears. I haven’t really left you Even though it may seem so. I have just gone to my heavenly home. And I’m closer to you than you know. Just believe that when you say my name, I’m standing next to you. I know you long to see me, But there’s nothing I can do. But I’ll still send you messages And hope you understand. That when your time comes to “cross over,” I’ll be there to take your hand. ~ Author Unknown Love you a bunch. Miss you a bunch. Christine & Jerry
