Hearings set for gas station, senior facility By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

The captain of the replica U.S. brig Niagara, built in 1988, takes charge. The original Niagara had a crew of 155 men who manned its sails as well as 18 carronades and two long guns.

Battle of Lake Erie

Boaters take on identities of actual sailors

“

Perry and his remaining men transferred to the unharmed Niagara, engaging the British ships and forcing them to surrender. monly known as “The Perry Group.” “At the end of the battle, the Americans took the British ships and then the crew was sent home and the ships were sold and repurposed, so there were spoils of war that came from that,” Houston continued. “The

pursuer was responsible for distributing what they called ‘The prize’ — money set aside from all of this so that every sailor got part of that prize, and from that we know all 575 people who were involved.” The Battle of Lake Erie bicentennial is a once-in-a-lifetime event that celebrates an integral piece of American history that took place 200 years ago on Lake Erie during the War of 1812. On Sept. 10, 1813, Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry of the U.S. Navy, sailing under a flag emblazoned with the words “Don’t Give up the Ship,” sailed to victory over the British Royal Navy, helping change the course of U.S. history. On Thursday, August 29, approximately 18 majestic Tall Ships from across the world will spread across nine ports eventually uniting for the battle reenactment on Monday at Put-in-Bay Harbor before sailing out to the original battle site 16 miles to the

Perrysburg Township residents Jerry Reitzel and his wife Jerri Lynn are going to get the spoils of war. The couple have volunteered to enlist as American crew members during the September 2 reenactment of the Battle of Lake Erie as the bicentennial of the War of 1812 is celebrated. The Reitzels, along with volunteers representing 555 other American patriots who served, are being given names of actual sailors who served during the battle, and when the Americans win the battle, the spoils are theirs. “War during the 1800s was a little bit different,” said Peter Houston, a South Bass Island resident who coordinates communications for the Friends of Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial, com-

Oregon City Council will hold public hearings on Monday, Aug. 26, at 8 p.m. to hear requests for a Special Use Exception application for a new assisted senior living/residential care facility, and a Conditional Use application for the construction of a gas station. Applicant Hussien Shousher, agent for Adams-Huron Investments, Ltd., is seeking a Special Use Exception in an R-2 Medium Density Residential District for the purpose of constructing the senior living facility at 3450 Seaman Road. The 64-unit combined single unit senior living/assisted living complex will be comprised of cottages aimed at independent living-seniors who do not require any assistance, according to Rick Wolney, of Alcore Senior and Assisted Living. Future expansion of the facility would be driven by supply and demand. Currently, the property, at Seaman and Coy, is a vacant farm field, according to Mayor Mike Seferian, who is also on the Oregon Planning Commission, which heard the case in June and July. The Planning Commission tabled the request in June and requested the applicant submit a site plan with proposed revisions of the Project Review Committee or the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission had suggested that a road that services the cottages should be extended north to connect to Seaman Road, and that a Dumpster enclosure should be placed behind the front building line. Seferian told The Press that the facility will have little impact on surrounding neighborhoods. “It’s a high dollar business, and it’s a good looking building,” he said. “People with these businesses maintain them maybe better than a lower end housing development that goes in,” he said. Eight years ago, strong opposition sidelined the development of a proposed zero lot line condo development at the site, said Seferian. “It would have put a lot of housing there in a small area. The neighbors were pretty upset with that. It wasn’t senior liv-

Battle of Lake Erie Continued from front page northwest. “Seeing the tall ships is going to be awesome,” Jerry said. “Hopefully, it’s a nice day but rain or shine they are going out.” Aside from the battle reenactment, this two-week celebration will include a grand Parade of Sail and Port Festivals in waterfront cities, Tall Ship tours, national speakers, a parade from the Ohio State University marching band, fireworks, concerts, an International Freedom Celebration and even the opportunity to enlist as a crew member or volunteer as a Bicentennial Militia member. And for those who would like to tender their vessel for the American fleet, each participant will receive recognition on a permanent plaque, commemorative burgee and preferred anchorage during the battle. Official invitees will include representatives for the U.S., British and Canadian governments as well as Native American Indian groups. In reality, the spoils of the British naval ships have already been dispersed, 200 years ago, and the Reitzels will receive none. Jerry has been boating with his own family his entire life, and the couple has been island hopping on their own boat for about 15 years. “We liked the history of the battle and some close friends of ours were researching it, and he was the one who kept us in clue as to what was going on,” said Jerri Lynn. “We just think it’s a once in a lifetime thing. It’s going to be miraculous to see the festival and all the tall ships and the reenactment.” They were hoping to be aboard the Niagara, but got bumped off at the last minute and are awaiting reassignment. “We were hoping for the Brig Niagara — from what I understand about this particular sailboat, they have some authentic parts from the original Brig Niagara in the reconstruction of the current Brig Niagara,” Jerri Lynn said. “That’s kind of neat in itself, just knowing that there are some real parts on that.” The original Niagara had a crew of 155 men who manned its sails as well as 18 carronades and two long guns. “After Perry’s flagship the Lawrence was disabled, Perry and his remaining men transferred to the unharmed Niagara, engaging the British ships and forcing them to surrender,” the bicentennial celebration souvenir guide reads.” No matter what ship the Reitzels serve on, no one is going to force them into hard labor in the ship’s galley. “Really, what is going to happen is the people on board these various tall ships will be there mostly as spectators, even though they are going to be crew members,” Houston said. “They may get to do some line handling or rope throwing, but generally speaking they are there to be observers.” If you are still interesting in serving during the reenactment, good luck. Houston says most, if not all of the positions have been filled, and some have been over-filled. “There are a whole bunch of different levels of volunteerism going on here. The first one is the fact that lots and lots of people have donated their time and services to be able to make this whole event work. It’s been a year-and-a-half of getting things to this point,” Houston said. “Then you have the people who have signed up to be members of the crew that are going out. They’ve made a donation and they are going out on the tall ships. Those people are going to be in the middle of the recreation.

This Week in Government A representative of the company wasn’t present for a hearing set for last week. The company is seeking to have the A1 agricultural zoning classification of property at 5963 Walbridge Rd. changed to M-1 light industrial. Richard Welling, a trustee, said the company intends to use the site to store used cooking oil before it is transported to Michigan where it will be reprocessed. Melanie Bowen, who chairs the board of trustees, said last week she has questions about the company’s plans for residential trailers on the site. Road work Ottawa County crews will be replacing a cross-over on Toussaint Road North, be-

tween Suhrbier Road and Graytown Road this week. The work is expected to continue through Aug. 29. No traffic will be permitted in the construction zone. For information contact the county engineer’s office: 419 734-6777. Secure schools Eastwood schools opened the school year with some new security measures in place. Lower level elementary classroom windows and exterior doors have been fitted with a film designed to make a forced entry more difficult. In case of a forced entry attempt, the film will allow school officials time to contact law enforcement and put the district’s safety protocols in action, said Brent Welker, district superintendent. He said all of the buildings will be locked once the school day begins. Parents and other visitors will have to buzz the office during school hours to be allowed entry and once in the building they are required to go directly to the office.

Funds to go toward drainage improvements By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council on Monday will consider approving an agreement to transfer property on Pickle Road and Starr Avenue for flood and drainage and sewer facilities improvements. The city is expected to enter into an agreement for the acceptance of permanent storm sewer easements from three property owners for the Flood & Drainage and Sewer Facilities Improvements project. R.P. Doerr, 2300 Starr Avenue, Lawrence E. & Cecile E. Gladieux, 2669 Pickle Road, and Peter L. Huth, 2651 Pickle Road, have agreed to donate the easements for drainage improvements, which will include a new storm sewer and catch basins. The city received Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for the project. “We’ve been trying to focus CDBG money on drainage and sewers,” Public Service Director Paul Roman said at a committee of the whole meeting on Monday. “These projects are really back yard drainage issues but they involve multiple properties. In any other area of the city, you may find me saying it’s a private matter. But in this case when we know that these properties are in the CDBG, and we know there is money available to help them, we do go after that and we try to help. These people know we’re trying to help them. The work will be paid 100 percent through CDBG. A lot of this is just really putting in tiling and yard basins to assist these property owners.”

There have been drainage issues around Olivewood, just north of Starr Avenue, by Van Buren, said Roman. “There’s a big hole of an area that doesn’t drain anywhere,” he said. “It’s very simple to do what we’re doing. But it’s on private land, and certainly there’s a cost. We have the CDBG money to pay for construction, but we didn’t have it necessarily for the drainage easement. Again, the people recognized the improvement, and are donating their property for these drainage easements.” The CDBG project areas are by Starr, Van Buren and Olivewood, and on the north side of Pickle Road, just east of Wheeling, said Roman. “Unfortunately it’s just poor development in terms of drainage. A lot didn’t go into the thinking of backyard drainage, therefore it would get trapped, and that’s the problem. The apartments by I-280 kind

of trapped the drainage. You can’t blame them. It’s decades after the fact. But you want to help them. This is one way of doing it.” City Administrator Mike Beazley said he would like to schedule a meeting for the public after Labor Day to address questions regarding all the drainage projects in the city. “There’s really a lot going on in the northern part of our city in terms of dealing with drainage issues – from the bike trail to the Big Ditch project and Oregon Erosion Control,” said Beazley. “If you’ve driven out along Wynn Road, you’ve seen a lot going on there. I’m looking to schedule something - perhaps out at the senior center - where we can do an overview of what’s going on. We do get a fair number of calls from people asking about what’s going on. Maybe in a public session, after Labor Day, we can let folks know.”

Gas station Council will also hold a hearing on a request for a Conditional Use in a C-2 General Commercial District for the construction of a gas station/convenience store at 2448 and 2460 Navarre Avenue. The applicant is Jim Sayed. The owner of the properties is SFS Property Group LLC. The site is located on the southwest corner of Munding Drive and Navarre Avenue. The portion of the property located directly to the east is zoned C-2 while the portion to the south is zoned C-1 and needs to be changed, Jim Gilmore, commissioner of building and zoning, said at the July Planning Commission meeting. Sayed said it was believed that the entire parcel was zoned C-2 when the property was purchased. Only later was it discovered that the property had split zoning. He would like to have the zoning on the rear portion of the parcel changed from C-1 to C-2 to coincide with the zoning on the front portion of the lot for the construction of the gas station /convenience store with an attached quick-serve restaurant. There was some opposition to the commercial development. Mickey Felaris, of Starr Avenue, said he was concerned what impact the gas station would have on the environment and the resale value of properties he owns on Grassser Street. Seferian said Navarre Avenue is a commercial corridor, as well as a state route, and that the proposed gas station/convenience store is an appropriate use of the property. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Conditional Use.

After a recent session, the Ottawa County Grand Jury has returned indictments against the following individuals, according to Prosecuting Attorney Mark Mulligan: • Dustin Henning, who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, was charged with multiple counts of Theft and Forgery, all felonies of the fifth degree after he stole blank checks and forged them earlier this year. • Michael E. Hurst, 33, who is also being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, has been indicted on one count of Illegal Conveyance of Drugs into a Detention Facility, after he was allegedly found in possession of prescription drugs while he was incarcerated. • Sean D. Case, 21, whose last known address is SR 163, Oak Harbor, has been indicted on one count each of Passing Bad Checks and Theft, both felonies of the fifth degree, after he reportedly passed more than $1,000 worth of bad checks to an Oak Harbor business in November 2012. • Dustin B. Kruse, 28, of 8927 W. Camp Perry Western Rd., Oak Harbor, was charged with one count of Obstructing Justice, a felony of the fifth degree, after he allegedly provided assistance to a person charged with a felony to help the person elude law enforcement officers last month. •Ronald G. Marsho, 25, who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, was charged with three counts of Burglary, felonies of the second and third degree, after he allegedly entered homes in Bay and Erie townships over the past several weeks. A summons has been issued for Kruse to make his initial appearance in the Ottawa County Court of Common Pleas on Sept. 12. Warrants were issued for other defendants. An indictment does not indicate guilt, merely that the defendant has been formally charged in the Common Pleas Court, Mulligan noted.

Society unveils ‘The Cannons that Changed America’ A new display titled, “The Cannons that Changed America” — which showcases what U.S. and British naval forces used in The Battle of Lake Erie — has been unveiled at the Harbor View Historical Society Museum and will remain on display through the end of October, said Samuel J. Bonifas, historical society president. There are two cannons on display which are replicas of a British Long Gun and Carronade cannons. Both reflect the type of cannon used during the time period when The Battle of Lake Erie took place. Additionally, the two cannons have a story all their own. “These cannons are on loan from the U.S. Navy through the end of October to help commemorate The Battle of Lake Erie,” said Bonifas. “The display has an official designation from the U.S. Navy — Operation Harbor View, Toledo, Ohio, Commemorating The Battle of Lake Erie Classification. Sailors from the Navy Operations Center in Perrysburg will support the display as part of the navy’s community relations.” The replicas tell a story of the difference in firepower between the British and U.S. Navy during The Battle of Lake Erie in September 1813. “The British had the advantage with the long gun. Oliver Hazard Perry’s forces used the Carronade cannon which a was shorter range cannon. As a historian, one has to wonder, with the advantage in firepower, how the British forces lost the battle,” said Bonifas. “We titled this display ‘The Cannons that Changed America’ because that is exactly what they did. If you look back to the map of the United States in 1813, the area around Oregon and Toledo was, in fact, this country’s Northwest Territory. The U.S. Naval victory at The Battle of Lake Erie allowed for expansion westward in the U.S. It was these types of cannons used in that strategic battle that allowed for the ex-

The cannons were constructed in Old Fort, Ohio by Bob Gillmor, for use in the Russell Crowe movie, “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.” The movie received ten Acad-

emy Award nominations. It won for Best Cinematography and Best Sound Editing. “These cannons do work and will fire. In fact, I have been told they have been fired five or six times over the past couple of years,” said Bonifas. The cannons arrived at the museum in early July. For the past two years they have

been used by the U.S. Navy at the Drill Deck at the Naval Operations Center in Perrysburg. The display is free and open to the public every Saturday until the end of October from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. The Harbor View Historical Society Museum is located at 2083 Autokee St. in Oregon.

Oregon seeks loan for wastewater treatment plant Oregon plans to apply for a loan from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) to help pay for improvements to the wastewater treatment plant. Oregon’s OEPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requires the city to increase secondary treatment capacity of the wastewater treatment plant from 24 MGD to 36 MGD in two phases over a five year period. “This expansion of the plant according to the requirements of the NPDES permit renewal is something communities like us all across the country are dealing with,” City Administrator Mike Beazley said at a committee of the whole meeting on Monday. “We feel very good thus far how this is taking shape.” The improvements will eliminate secondary treatment bypasses and sanitary sewer collection system overflows during wet weather events. Phase 1 improvements consist of the replacement of two influent screens, replacement of three raw sewage pump motor drives, replacement of two blowers, full replacement of air piping and replacement

of air diffusers in the aeration tanks and a dissolved oxygen control system, site restoration, and associated Supervisory and Data Acquisition upgrades. “Phase 1 is a lot of equipment replacement,” said Public Service Director Paul Roman. “It’s a good investment. I think you’ll see a return on the investment, especially with the blowers and new aeration tanks.” Phase 2 improvements consist of new final clarifier with associated secondary sludge pumping facilities, aeration tank improvements consisting primarily of replacement of stop plates and slide gates, disinfection improvements consisting of replacement of the chlorine feed and safety equipment, effluent pump replacement and improvements, site restoration, and associated Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition upgrades. The $16 million project will be funded by state grants, loans, local income taxes, and an increase in the water and sewer rates. “We now have about the lowest rates in the region, and are among the lowest in Ohio,” said Beazley. “And even after this process is done, I expect we’ll still have the lowest rates in the market. We haven’t had a rate increase in five years, and there are

not a lot of communities that can say that. We’ll learn more in the coming months and sit down with some hearings late this year and through the budget process in early 2014 and make a decision together on how to actually make the final funding decision. In the application, we spelled out our willingness to go out and raise money.” “When you tell us we have the lowest rates in the region,” Councilman Sandy Bihn said to Beazley, “f you add our income tax dollars to that, then where do we stand because that’s the true cost of the plant to the Oregon community. “We have a relatively efficient opera-

tion,” said Beazley. “Our total costs are still low compared to the market. We’re one of the very few communities I know of that helps to pay for the capital side of its water and sewer services through income tax revenue. Water and sewer bills are lower here because they are subsidized by taxpayers. That’s a community choice historically because one of the ways we achieved our independence from our neighbor was by having this plant and these services. But there’s no question that the total costs are subsidized by the income tax.” “We pay 2.25 percent and our suburban counterparts pay 1.5 percent. And a large part of that is because we’re subsidizing the water and sewer with it. I think it’s a fair comparison,” said Bihn. Roman said the city plans to apply later this year for additional state funding for the project. “Everything is within our NPDES permit schedule,” said Roman. “We are required to start Phase 1 in January. That means we have to have this loan closed in November.” The OEPA has made funds available through a Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) to provide financial assistance to communities needing to make such improvements.

Trustees pick a veteran to lead fire department By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com When the Lake Township trustees needed help preparing a job description for the position of a full-time fire chief, they turned to Bruce Moritz, the veteran chief of the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District, for his assistance. And when they decided to hire a chief, they hired Moritz. After an executive session Tuesday, the trustees announced they were offering the job to Moritz, pending his passing a background check and physical exam. Moritz, who was present at the meeting and joined the trustees in the executive session, said he â&#x20AC;&#x153;would be honored to be the next fire chief of Lake Townshipâ&#x20AC;? when asked by Melanie Bowen, chairman of the board of trustees, if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d accept the job offer. The trustees and command officers of the fire department on Monday interviewed six candidates, Bowen said after Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting. In all, there were 15 applicants, including some from Missouri, Nevada and Georgia. The pay range for the post is $55,000-

$60,000. Bowen said details of a contract with Moritz would be completed during the trusteesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first meeting in September. Moritz is expected to start work in Lake Township after Labor Day. The trustees said the applicants were all good candidates but trustee Richard Welling described Moritz as â&#x20AC;&#x153;head and shoulders aboveâ&#x20AC;? the rest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fire chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire chief.â&#x20AC;? Moritz has been a fixture in Ottawa County fire departments for decades, joining the former Clay - Genoa Volunteer Fire Department in the 1970s where he rose through the ranks. The Genoa department was merged with the Allen Township department to form the Allen-Clay Joint District, which Moritz has headed as a full-time chief since its inception around 2000. Moritz said he already knows many of the Lake Township department personnel as the Allen-Clay department has an aid agreement with Lake Township. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good department,â&#x20AC;? he said of the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department, which has about 60 members on its roster â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about 20 or so fewer than the Allen-Clay department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked well with this department in the past.â&#x20AC;?

Motion to dismiss death penalty denied By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Ottawa County Common Pleas Court Judge Bruce Winters has denied a motion to dismiss death penalty specifications in the case of a Fremont man indicted for the murder in March of his estranged wife. Attorneys representing Randall Ross had filed the motion, citing constitutional and international law violations. Ottawa County Prosecutor Mark Mulligan filed an opposing motion and Judge Winters in a recent brief ruling wrote the defense motion “is not well taken.” According to the court docket, a final pre-trial hearing is scheduled for Dec. 4 at 10 a.m. and a jury trial is to begin Dec. 9 at 8:30 a.m. Ross, who was indicted in May, faces seven counts, including murder, aggravated murder, aggravated burglary, and kidnapping in the shooting death of his wife, Amy. Firearm specifications were included in the indictment. All of the charges are first degree felonies. The shooting occurred in March at the N. Leutz Road home of Andrea Swope, Amy’s sister, where she had been staying. She was found in an upstairs bedroom with a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene. Swope called the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department shortly before noon to report the shooting and told dispatchers Randall had then shot himself and was still at the residence. He was released May 8 from the hospital. The victim and Ross had lived on County Road 265, Fremont, before she moved in with her sister. Records in Sandusky County Common Pleas Court indicate she filed a divorce complaint last year, including a motion for a mutual restraining order, but then filed a dismissal notice less than a month later.

Man arrested A rash of break-ins to vehicles parked at a truckstop in Lake Township may have been solved with the arrest of a Monroe, Mich. man. Undercover township police set up surveillance at the Petro Truckstop after reports of the break-ins began to climb, Police Chief Mark Hummer reported Tuesday to the township trustees. On Aug. 15 police arrested Glen D. Hughes, 48, and charged him with five counts of theft and criminal damage. Police said a female would drop him off at a nearby motel where he watched drivers leave their vehicles. Electronic items such as CB radios and GPS units were reported stolen, the chief said. Hughes was lodged in the Wood County jail on a $66,000 bond. According to police, he admitted to five break-ins.

Emma Gould of Curtice, a 10-year-old Lake student, raised money for St. Jude Children’s Hospital by selling vegetables. (Press photo by Russ Lytle)

Girl comes to bat for St. Jude’s By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Wtiter news@presspublications.com For many people, seeing images of very sick children who are patients at St. Jude Children’s Hospital, in Memphis, can be heartbreaking. Many people do not know what to do to help. For Emma Gould, 10, of Curtice, those very same images proved to be inspiration for this young lady. According to her grandmother, Barb Dille, of Curtice, Emma decided last year to raise money for the hospital by selling vegetables from Dille’s garden. “Last year was the first year she did this,” Dille said. “She wanted to have a lemonade stand at first. Then she asked me if she could sell vegetables from my garden. She raised $34 and sent it all to St. Jude.” St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital opened on February 4, 1962 and was founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas. His daughter, Marlo Thomas, is the hospital’s outreach director. The hospital’s mission is to find cures for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases through research and treatment.

According to St. Jude, the hospital averages 7,800 active patients each year. Most importantly, no family ever pays for treatment which is funded largely through private donations. Emma, a student at Lake Middle School, decided to raise money again this year. Dille, who has four gardens on her property, allowed Emma to plant and pick vegetables from her 50’ by 140’ garden. The young lady sold everything from yellow squash and zucchini, to tomatoes, cabbage, corn, peppers, green beans and potatoes. To go along with her vegetables, Emma also sold lemonade, cookies and brownies. All total, Emma raised $71. “Seeing the little kids on TV just inspired her,” Dille said. “She just figured she could help the little kids at St. Jude. We are very proud of her.” Dille said Emma has always been a child who has had a lot of empathy for others. “Her best friend, Haley Pruitt, has heart issues,” Dille said. “Emma is always there to protect her and to look out for her. She is just an exceptional child. She has empathy and she really cares about how other people are doing and if they need help.”

German-American Festival set The 48th German-American Festival is taking place Aug. 23-25 at Oak Shade Grove in Oregon. “It is our goal to ensure that the German-American Festival provides entertainment opportunities for all of our guests,” said Tim Pecsenye, Festival Chairman. “From games and rides to parades and competitions – there is something for everyone at the fest.” The designated children’s area will include face painting and appearances by Jimity the Clown, who will be wandering the grounds on Saturday and Sunday. Amusement rides will provide thrills for all ages. Those with a competitive spirit can participate in a number of events throughout the festival weekend. “Guests also shouldn’t have a problem finding something to satisfy even the pickiest of appetites,” Pecsenye said. “From sauerkraut and schnitzel sandwiches to ice cream and cream puffs, no one will leave the festival grounds hungry.” This year, the Festival is offering 45 beers – five more than last year. In addition to extensive beer offerings, the festival has six wines that can be sampled by participating in the Der deutsche Wein-Flug. Those in the mood for a cocktail are invited to try one of the featured cocktails, including a German Flag in a Glass and a German Chocolate Cupcake. For guests ages 21 and over who are who are not drinking, the German-American Festival offers a Designated Driver Program. For $3, the DD receives three coupons for a 20 oz. soft drink at any of the soft drink booths on the grounds. “The German-American Festival has

slowly become a staple within the local community and it has been amazing to see our crowds grow in size every year,” Pecsenye said, “but with increased crowd size comes increased responsibility. We want to make sure that festival goers have fun, but more importantly we want them to be safe.” It is that concern for safety that prompted the addition of new shuttle locations for the 2013 Festival. Attendees can now take the shuttle directly to the festival grounds from eight Toledo area locations. Locations are listed on the festival website. In Oregon, festival-goers can enjoy complimentary continuous shuttle service during festival hours between Starr Elementary School, Fassett Middle School and the Clay High School East lot and the festival. In addition, Icons Eatery and Entertainment, 3150 Navarre Ave., is providing a free shuttle Friday 6 p.m. to close; Saturday 2 p.m. to close and Sunday noon to close. Festival hours are Saturday 2 p.m.-1 a.m. and Sunday noon – 11 p.m. (German language worship service at 10:30 a.m.) On Sunday, active military, police, fire, or EMS personnel will be admitted at no charge (with proof of employment), and senior citizens with a Golden Buckeye card or equivalent will be admitted for $1 discount from general admission. General admission to the festival is $7; children 12 and under get in free. Discount advance purchase admission & shuttle tickets are $6.

Some easy strategies for using your time wisely Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden the past to discover what works and what doesn’t. Don’t repeat the same mistakes. Do replicate strategies that work. The only direction that matters is forward. But don’t fret about the future. Take action to prepare for it. All that matters is the action you take today. The best time managers live in the present, not the past, or future. Ideally, the goal is to get as much done as possible in a given amount of time. However, merely being busy is not the objective. You want to be productive rather than active. You are productive when you are actively pursuing a goal. Activity is energy expended without moving toward a specific accomplishment. Prioritize how you spend your time. Often, low priority tasks are addressed first because less effort is required. Avoid this trap. Complete your high priority tasks first. These are defined as the most important

“ “

Time goes by regardless of how it’s used. Time goes by faster as you get older. Time flies when you are engaged in enjoyable activities. It drags when you are bored or hate what you are going. You can repeat the same day over and over or fill your time with new and exciting experiences. Time is the focus of many excuses for inaction. It takes too much time. There’s not enough time. I’m too young. I’m too old. Everyone has exactly the same amount of time each day. How it’s used by you is what makes the difference. Energy, enthusiasm, and attitude all affect time. When your energy level is low your efficiency is reduced. Therefore, it takes more time to get things done. Enthusiasm makes you more efficient. You approach things with zest and accomplish much more than you would otherwise. A positive, can do attitude enables you to start and finish tasks. Conversely, a negative attitude prevents you from even beginning. There are a number of strategies you can utilize to make the most out of your time. First, stop worrying. Worry wastes energy that can be used for accomplishments. Lamenting anything from the past drains your vitality. Instead, study

things you have to do. There are significant negative consequences when these issues are neglected. Guard your time from distractions. Emails, texts, the internet, phone calls, chit chat, and other interruptions substantially diminish your productivity. Focus is required to address high priority issues. Multitasking dilutes your ability to concentrate. Handle one important activity at a time. Stay focused on your goals. This process keeps you on track and prevents you from wasting time by wandering. Keeping your eye on your destination enables you to get back on course after a setback or detour. You lose focus by doing too much at once. A laser is focused whereas a flash-

light isn’t. The more you attempt simultaneously, the less time there is for each one. Delegation is a great strategy when you are overloaded. If you don’t have the authority to delegate or staff to delegate to, you can hire people to pick up some of your workload. Procrastination is time’s enemy. Fear, uncertainty, difficulty, lack of enthusiasm, distractions, and fatigue all contribute to procrastination. It’s too easy to put off things you don’t want to do. Procrastination leads to missed opportunities, stress, and frustration. A simple technique to break the procrastination logjam is spending just 15 minutes working on something you have been putting off. Keep track of your time. Be aware of how you’re spending it. Reevaluate your strategy if you are not getting enough done. A small change to your approach can produce big results. Now is the time to become better at handling your time.

It’s time to beef up inspections of imported food By Jill Richardson In a 1968 comedy called The Secret War of Harry Frigg, Paul Newman is captured during World War II in Italy. After the prisoner of war spends several weeks trying to escape, his captor tells him some great news: The guards now have bullets in their guns. The Food and Drug Administration news about food safety reminds me all too much of this scene. Guess what? They’re now going to start trying to make sure our imported food is safe! “Under the proposed regulations… U.S. importers would, for the first time, have a clearly defined responsibility to verify that their suppliers produce food to meet U.S. food safety requirements,” reads the agency’s press release. Let me translate this: The guardians of our food supply now have bullets in their guns. Imported foods make up one fifth of the vegetables, half of the fruits, and more than 90 percent of the seafood we eat. The odds are that some of the food you eat is imported. And while Greek olives and French cheese sound divine, how about Chinese tilapia or Vietnamese catfish that ate human feces as part of their diet? Yep, that’s gross, but I’m not making it up. When I reported on the safety of imported seafood, the experts I interviewed described fish farms in China where the family outhouse flows directly into the tilapia pond. The most outrageous part of the imported seafood story happens at U.S. borders and ports, where imported food enters our country. We can’t control whether other countries think human waste is an acceptable fish food, nor can we control whether they enforce their own laws. But — in theory at least — we do control what

Guest Editorial we allow into the U.S. market. Unfortunately, our government inspects less than 2 percent of the seafood we import — a much smaller percent than either the EU or Japan. Even the Government Accountability Office says our system is lousy. And when the inspectors find filthy, rotting, or contaminated seafood? They don’t destroy it, they just give it back to the importers. The importers are then free to bring it in through another port, where there’s a 98 percent chance it won’t be inspected. Nowadays, many foods have country-oforigin labeling, so you can choose to avoid imported foods from certain countries when you’re shopping at the store. But you won’t have the same option when dining out, because restaurants are exempt. Labeling is only a partial solution. We need real food safety. And that means a regulatory system that works. Our federal food safety system is a convoluted mess overseen by a number of different departments and agencies. Marion Nestle, author of Safe Food, famously pointed out the ridiculous nature of the system, noting that one agency regulates cheese pizza but another one regulates pepperoni. Corn dogs and bagel dogs are regulated by different agencies. So are liquid beef broth and chicken broth. Meanwhile, many small farmers see the government as a bully who lets large corporations with intimidating legal teams off the hook yet focuses its “food safety” efforts on small, sustainable farmers who are less capable of fighting back.

Just ask Vernon Hershberger. He’s an Amish farmer who got in trouble for selling wholesome (yet illegal) foods to 200 members of a private food-buying club — and his food never made anyone sick. How does it serve the public interest for the government to crack down on farmers like Hershberger while allowing imported foods into the country even when we know they come from countries that frequently produce unsafe food? Let’s hope these new regulations on im-

Letters

ported foods do the trick. But even if they do, they won’t cover all imported foods. The new system will only cover imported food that’s regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. In other words, only some of the guards now have bullets in their guns.

A contradiction To the editor: By signing the state budget bill recently – which contains provisions putting more limitations on abortion services – does Gov. John Kasich realize he and the Republicans are contradicting their own beliefs? The Republicans want small government, but argue that we need laws preventing abortion. I just don’t get it. If these guys and gals are supposed to be the “pro- small government” side of politics, then it’s time to change some of their ideologies. I will be set to register to vote soon, and am seriously considering registering as a Democrat purely because the small government Republican party is long gone. The party should realize a few things. If a woman wants to have an abortion, that choice should be between her and her God, and not her and her government. So, why does the government need to be the middle man? Additionally, when Gov. Kasich signed the bill which has the effect of shuttering some abortion clinics, jobs are gone. I have a message for Gov. Kasich: If you’re

focused on “jobs, jobs, jobs,” then quit trying to eliminate them. When it comes to the economy, I’m the biggest Kasich fan out there. But when it comes to social issues, let’s realize that it’s time for the government to step aside. We’re not in the 90s anymore. Times, people, and ideologies have changed. Perhaps, the Republican party should do the same. Byron Swartz Millbury

Trips abroad among retired teacher’s fondest career memories By Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer twalro@presspublications.com

The Genoaarea travelers on the beach in Jaco, Costa Rica, included (front from left) Todd Newmister, Josh Kopena, Karleigh Newmister, Nick Mortensen and Jacob Cameron; (back) Jeremy Kopena, Jolene Kopena, Jason Helle, Monica Hecker and Charlene Newmister. The travelers went on to Rome and Florence and then Genoa (pronounced GEN oh a) before taking a ship to Barcelona – only their luggage was still with the original air carrier. “We had no luggage for an entire week,” she said. “Luckily the girls had some things in their carry-ons, and we washed some things at night. Eventually, we got our luggage and the girls were so excited because they still had a luggage full of clean clothes.” “One time we went to Rome in June – it was always more crowded when we traveled in the summer versus spring break – and one girl said, ‘I think there are more people in Rome than there are ants,” Kopena said. “But there are hazards to traveling in the spring too, one time we encountered a snowstorm while we were visiting Germany.” She was supposed to make a trip to Costa Rica a couple of years ago, but health problems kept her grounded. “My son Jeremy was already signed up to go, and went on the trip, escorted by Heather Sheehy, a parent of a student had accompanied us on trips before,” she said. “This last year, since it was my sons’ senior year, I asked them where they wanted to go since the trip would be their graduation gift,” she said. “Jeremy wanted to go back to Costa Rica. “They had been with me to Europe before and had found the trips to be fun but very hectic – there’s so much to do and see. Jeremy suggested Costa Rica because it was very relaxing – it’s all nature,” she said. The 10-day trip, which was set for June 12, was not school-sponsored because Kopena was to be retired, and the students going had graduated. The entourage of 10 also included some of the students’ friends,

“

I think there are more people in Rome than there are ants. But there are hazards to traveling in the spring, too, one time we encountered a snowstorm while we were visiting Germany.

“

When school supplies went on sale, for a brief moment, Jolene Kopena had an urge to stock up on a few things. Then it hit her – no more pencils, no more books, no more students’ dirty looks for her. Kopena retired at the end of the last school year after a 35-year career with Genoa Schools, where she had taught English, German and most recently, Spanish. Before coming to Genoa, she had taught in Continental Schools. Deciding to retire was bittersweet. “Part of it was that my boys, Jeremy and Josh, were graduating and I thought it would be a good time for me to move on as well,” she said. Her tenure at Genoa was not only rewarding – it was a real trip, literally as well as figuratively. During her tenure, Kopena accompanied Genoa students on 20 trips abroad where they could not only use their foreign language skills but also experience other cultures firsthand. “Actually it would have been 21, except there was one time we were scheduled to go to Germany and Switzerland, and we had to postpone the trip because there had been bombs set off in the Frankfort Airport,” she said. “For a while, we were going every year, but then it became every other year once I had my twins,” Kopena said. “I remember the first time I traveled after I had them – they were 2 years old – we were in London and everyone was looking up at the TV screen and the kids started saying ‘I want to go call home.’ They were watching news reports about the tornado hitting Davis-Besse.” Many of the trips included trips to London, Paris along with Madrid. “Even though I wanted them to use their Spanish, for some of them, it might be the only time they would ever be able to go to Europe, so I wanted them to visit other major cities as well. “Invariably, the kids wanted to see the Eiffel Tower,” she said. “They’d get so excited and start taking pictures when they just saw a little tip of it…I told them ‘just wait until you’re up close.’ They were never disappointed.” Despite meticulous planning, sometimes there were glitches, but nothing the Genoa travelers couldn’t overcome. “One time, I took a small group of five girls – that was the year that President Reagan died, and the day we left, they were moving his body,” Kopena recalled. “Little did I know that all air traffic was stopped until they got his body to Washington, D.C.” To their dismay the group’s flight to Atlanta was delayed and then canceled. “Luckily, as a small group, we were able to finagle six seats on Air France and we only missed part of a day of our trip, which wasn’t too bad.”

one of the moms who had gone on one of Kopena’s a former trips and her son and daughter, who is going to be a sophomore at UT. Among the stops on the trip were the capital city, San José and La Fortuna, which is known for its beautiful waterfall. “I book the trips through a company that plans trips for school groups,” Kopena said. “Consequently, we had a really knowledgeable tour guide. He could tell you everything about the plants and animals – I never knew there were that many kinds of hummingbirds.” The kids also learned other life lessons. “It was the rainy season and the first night, the tour bus got stuck on the dirt road when we were trying to get back to the hotel,” she recalled. “It was pouring. The kids

were pretty worn out – they had been on the bus all day and hadn’t eaten. But they endured and were all cool about it. That’s part of the learning experience.” The trip included a Saturday morning stop at a small school. “We had taken along some school supplies and some deflated soccer balls from home,” Kopena said. “The kids at this tiny little school, who ranged from very little to about 12 years old, were all dressed up in costumes anxiously awaiting us. “They had a presentation with dances and then they taught our kids the dance,” she said. “Then our kids played a little soccer with them. “I think our kids thought it was going to be a boring experience, but they ended up having such a good time – we couldn’t get them back on the bus,” Kopena said. Now that she’s retired, Kopena said she hopes the Genoa students will still have the opportunity to travel abroad. “I hope someone steps in,” she said. “The world’s a small place these days and kids need to see that,” she said. “And they have to experience it firsthand.” “There’s no doubt the trips involve a lot of planning and huge liability, not to mention the cost,” she continued. “Years ago, the Spanish Club did fundraising – I can’t tell you how many car washes we held at Genoa Ford – for extra money that would help pay for extra excursions and incidentals on the trips,” she said. “But the majority of the costs fell on students and their families. “I always planned the trips way far ahead and for many of the students, the trip or part of it would be a present for graduation, Christmas, etc.,” she added.

A Special Thank You for the Breast Cancer Benefit that was held on August 9th, 2013 for Deb Evers

A special thank you to my sister, Gina Resendez and my mother, Carmela Racz for putting this benefit together. I would like to thank everyone who donated gift baskets, gift certificates and gifts for the raffle and silent auction. Thank you to everyone who donated foods and desserts, and to friends and co-workers who donated their time for this benefit. Also to everyone that came to the benefit and who sent money and love when they could not be there. The support I have received from everyone is overwhelming in this time of need. I could not have fought this fight alone without so many people in my life. Words cannot describe how much love and support I feel. I can only pass on the support and help others in their time of need. I would like to share a poem I found. From my heart to all of yours, thank you. Giving from the Heart

Family, Friends and Communities seem to specialize in doing thoughtful deeds, before you ask, they understand your problem and your needs. Quietly they do their best to help, inspire and cheer, and everything looks brighter right away because they are near. They always have a lot to do but still find time to spare, to listen and to give advice because they really care. They help because they want to, they find joy in being kind and making others happy is the first thing on their mind. They make this world a better place by practicing the art of reaching out to others and by giving from the heart.

It is named after Peter Kiziu, who served as executive director of the Eastern Y from 1990-97. “Pete” also served as president of the East Toledo/Oregon Kiwanis; president of the Maumee Chamber of Commerce and participated in a number of community activities. He and his wife Nancy reside in Sarasota, Fla.

GAF scholarships The German-American Festival Society has announced its scholarship awards for 2013. “This year, we added a fourth $1,000 scholarship and changed the way in which scholarships were awarded,” said Scholarship Chairperson Christina Renz. “Two scholarships were awarded to top Germanlanguage students from the greater-Toledo area, and two scholarships were awarded to top students that have volunteered at the Festival and/or are active volunteers/members of any of the seven societies of the G.A.F. “Students for both awards must have taken an academic or college preparatory course of study and must have attained a grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0-point system,” Renz said. “We look for well-rounded students that have participated in a variety of school-sponsored organizations and extra-curricular events. Students applying for the German-language scholarship must be in at least their third

Genoa High School class of `41 alums get together Genoa High School class of 1941 held their annual reunion Aug. 4 at BJ’s Hide-AWay in Oregon. In 1941, GHS graduated 56 students – a record number at that time. Of those 56, 10 are still surviving and are in their 90th year of life. One member, Mildred Verkin Evans, of Fairfax, Va., passed away since the last reunion a year ago. Seven class members attended the reunion, including Genevieve Holland Geldine, of Cheboygan, Mich.; Donna Jean Duncan Abel, of Toledo; Ralph Vogelpohl, of Curtice; Elizabeth Witt Fisher, of Martin; and Lamar Bower, Verna Schimming Hennen and Jack Werner, of Genoa. The three members unable to attend included Richard Dunberger, of St. Petersberg, Fla.; Adeline Merle Thompson, of Chambersburg, Pa. and Dorothea Long Berger, of Curtice. The attendees were jovial and were happy to share their secret for longevity – just keep breathing. The 2014 reunion will be held the first Sunday in August at a place to be determined.

Lake class of `58 reunion Members of Lake High School class of 1958 will hold a 55-year reunion Sept. 14 at 5:30 p.m. at Cousino’s Steakhouse, located at Woodville and Pickle roads, Oregon. Those interested should RSVP to Carol at 30630 Drouillard Rd., #61, Walbridge, OH, 43465.

WSOS Center relocates The WSOS Child Development Center in Genoa has returned to its former location within the village beginning the 2013-14 school year. The center is now located at the Brunner Campus, 1224 West St., Genoa. Brunner Campus is a privately-owned community center that previously housed one of Genoa’s elementary schools. The center was previously housed at Brunner Elementary from 1990-97 before a restructuring of the school district led to the center moving to the former Allen Elementary building. The center operates morning and after preschool classes for children 3 and 4 years old. Preschoolers attend classes three-anda-half hours each day, Monday to Thursday. Parents can choose to have their child attend either mornings or afternoons. Also, teachers visit each family’s home twice per year and there are two parent-teacher conferences per year. Class sizes range from 1317 children per class. Children enrolled in WSOS preschool

programs receive comprehensive services that include social services, health and dental services, mental health services, nutrition, disability services and parental involvement. WSOS’ early childhood programs are based on the philosophy that the parent is the child’s first teacher, so parents are involved as much as possible and encouraged to join their child whenever possible. Parents who enroll their children in the WSOS program benefit by having access to a variety of community resources, diverse parent education programs, and other social services that can assist the family to become self-sufficient. Parents and/or guardians may call the center and request a tour of the center or ask about income guidelines at 419-8553931 or toll-free at 1-800-775-9767.

Genoa hosting storied Waite football for first time By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Fifth-year Waite football coach Gardner Howard can promise one thing when the Indians open the season Aug. 30 at Genoa. “We’re looking forward to a great game,” Howard said. “It’s gonna be exciting, not only for the players but the fans.” According to a book about the history of Waite football compiled by former coach Charlie Delker, it is the first time the two schools have met on the gridiron. Both coaches admit they know little about their respective opponent. “I’m expecting to see one of the more athletic teams we’ll see on our regular-season schedule,” Spiess said. “Gardner is an outstanding coach. He played for Jerry Buti at Defiance and at Bowling Green State University. I actually coached Gardner for one day at the Ohio North-South game. He was a better player than I was a coach. Orlando Pace was on the same (North) squad.” The Comets are coming off an 11-1 season in which they claimed the Northern Buckeye Conference title. Genoa is attempting to reach the state playoffs for the seventh straight season, while Waite is looking for its inaugural trip to the playoffs. “We have a lot of respect for what Genoa has been able to accomplish over the past years,” Howard said. “They always have a solid team that makes the playoffs. Any team that makes the playoffs as much as they do should be admired.” The Indians, who went 2-8 and 2-3 in the City League last fall, have scrimmaged against Defiance, Bryan and Bowling Green in the preseason. Their final scrimmage was against Fremont St. Joe on Friday. “We’ve done OK,” Howard said. “We’ve improved. Obviously we have to continue to get better. Conditioning is a factor this time of year, getting yourself in shape. One concern is our depth. We’re young, with inexperienced guys playing. As many reps we can get is going to help. Our team chemistry is getting better and we’re working hard to improve every day.” Howard said senior Tony Smith, who returns at linebacker after earning secondteam All-CL honors last season, will start at

(Press photo by Harold Hamilton/ HEHphotos.smugmug.com) quarterback against Genoa. Jeremy Pratt, a transfer from St. Francis de Sales, will also see time under center. “Tony’s got big shoes to fill, and he’s doing a very good job filling that role,” Howard said. “Hopefully we can lean on Tony and his experience early in the year. With Tony being a senior, he’s been in our program for four years and obviously he has a very good handle on how we do things and the system - the reads, the keys and where to go with the football. He’s a tough-minded kid and a natural leader. He’s athletic as well. “In Jeremy we have a dynamic dual threat, a guy who can also hurt you with his legs. He has a very strong arm. He hasn’t played the position at the varsity level yet, but he is a very intelligent kid and he works hard at it. We expect some growing pains. He’ll experience some things early in the season, and hopefully he’ll benefit from it.” Howard said he will look for a few things from his team in its opener besides getting a “W.” “For me, it’s always what kind of char-

GAME OF THE WEEK Waite Indians @ Genoa Comets Comet Stadium Friday, August 30 7 p.m. acter does my team show,” he said. “What are you made of? How do you respond to adversity? Are we physically and mentally tough? Win or lose, are we improving offensively and defensively and getting better.” Spiess has somewhat of a dilemma at Genoa as well – how to replace All-Ohio running back Kyle Nutter, who is now at the University of Cincinnati.

“The biggest thing for us is life without Kyle Nutter,” Spiess said. “We have to replace 6,000 (career) yards and 91 touchdowns. Jake Wojciechowski, Ryan Esponiza and Casey Gose have been very good running backs. They have been our top running threats at this point.” The Comets scrimmaged Tiffin Columbian last Tuesday and did “very well,” according to Spiess. “I liked the way we came off the ball,” he said. “Our new defensive starters performed very well. Columbian is a Division II state powerhouse and we held our own with them. That’s what I wanted to see.” Spiess said last Saturday’s scrimmage against Bryan and Hicksville was a different matter. “I was not pleased with our effort, and I don’t think our players were pleased,” Spiess said. “Defensively we were fine, but offensively we just weren’t clicking. We were slow off the ball and we did not read our blocks very well. That left a lot of room for improvement. We have a lot of work to do.”

Waite, Genoa have seen over 180 years of football By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Waite High School’s historic football tradition includes state, even national championships — games played at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, and invitations to the team to visit the White House. Dozens of Waite players went on to play professionally — the majority in the NFL’s early years before World War II. Genoa’s storied gridiron history dates back 80 years, but it does not include notoriety on a national scale. Waite is celebrating its 100th season of football this year, but its last City League championship came in 1963. Genoa’s championships are still coming today. Waite did defeat Oak Harbor 19-7 in 1915 and over the past century defeated Lake twice. Waite has an 11-10 record alltime against Cardinal Stritch Catholic, but Clay leads the Oil Barrel Trophy series against its east side rival by a 31-12-3 mark. The Waite-Clay series began in 1961, long after the storied years under coaches Jack Mollenkopf and Don McAllister. The Waite program’s early history includes multiple state championships. In 1924 and 1932, the Waite team was declared national champion and one year was invited to the White House. The 1922 schedule was typical — Waite defeated Cleveland West Tech 76-0, Doane Academy 71-0, Louisville Male (Ky.) 34-0, Harrrisburg Tech (Pa.) 52-7, Chicago Lane Tech (Ill.) 66-0, Parkersburg (Va.) 55-7, Cedar Rapids Washington (Iowa) 13-2, South

This painting of a traditional Waite-Scott Thanksgiving game, which typically drew 20,000 fans, is on display at the Weber Block, Front and Main Street, East Toledo. (Press ﬁle photo by Ken Grosjean). Bend (Ind.) 67-6, and Malden (Mass.) 18-0, losing only to west side rival Scott, 15-14, on Thanksgiving Day. In 1924, finishing 10-0, Waite closed with a 46-0 defeat over Boston Everett (Mass.), and the 1932 team finished a 12-0 season with a 13-7 victory over Miami Senior (Fla.). The Waite teams do not travel across country by train anymore and the demographics of East Toledo have changed, but Howard and second-year Genoa coach Tim Spiess are expecting plenty of excite-

ment Friday night. Bergman Field Like Waite’s current Mollenkopf Stadium and the former 20,000 seat Waite Bowl that sat where the baseball field is now located, Genoa’s former Bergman Field on Route 163 saw multiple championships and record-setting players and coaches. Henry W. Bergman Field hosted Genoa football beginning in 1933, with lights for night games added in 1948.

Some of the earliest star athletes include fullback and middle linebacker Harold “Perk” Avery (1937), fullback, linebacker, and kicker Harold “Oosie” Dunn (1926), Robert Samsen (1947), Tom Spitler (1966), and all-state running back Alfredo Lozoyo (1977) — they were the first group inducted into the school’s hall of fame. Firestone (109-60-6) was football coach from 1959-76 and his teams were consistently successful in the Northern Lakes League while Eastwood and Elmwood usually struggled, but each of them did have one championship. Genoa was the only one of the three to have an all-time winning record against the mostly bigger NLL schools, finishing 70-544 against league competition. In the Suburban Lakes League, the Comets were 39-6-2 under Firestone with three SLL championships, including a perfect 10-0 season in 1975. Earliest coaches inducted include James Firestone and John Roberts, and the earliest public address announcer is Jack “Voice of the Comets” Werner. Other early induction classes included Coach Dave Hitchen (1977-82), players Bob Baird (1959), Victor Libbe (1958), Gary Mathews (1977), James Berkey (1961), Joel Pinkerton (1970), Andrew Szypka (1980), James Duvall (1966), Dan Van Etten (1963), Fred Koester (1959), Eric Wolfe (1966)J. Clark Pinkerton III (1965), and statistician Lamar W. Bower (player from 1939-41), and the list has continued to grow since 2004 when the football field was moved to the school campus on Genoa-Clay Center Road.

Princess Peaches becomes Press’ newest soothsayer By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Princess Peaches Pumpkin Pie, the Press office cat, has joined with three other new soothsayers who will give us their idea of who will win and lose prep, college, and professional football games. Peaches, dressed in her Cleveland Browns orange-colored fur, a rare color for a female cat, will select each winner from among two treats offered to her by the sales staff. If the odds have their way, she should finish .500, well below the rest of the soothsayers, but she may surprise with some of her picks. If she gets lucky and finishes better than her seven competitors, shame on them. The other new soothsayers are Press contributing writer Yaneek Smith; WRSCSports.com internet radio broadcaster Al Singlar; and long time Press carrier Adam Mihalko, a 2011 Clay graduate now pursuing a college degree in social work. They join four returnees back for one more stab — Genoa Banking Company President Marty Sutter; Oregon jewellery store owner Alan Miller; Press contributing writer Mark Griffin; and Tim Williams, a Northwood graduate, former Miami University Red Hawk (then Redskins, he stresses), and former professional football player in the World Football League who once coached at Gibsonburg High School.

Weightlifting, conditioning…will it pay off? We’ll see By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Weightlifting. Conditioning. Refining your skills. That’s what a great athlete does in the offseason. High school athletes will get a chance to showcase their physical prowess in the coming months. Every football player plays the game in August, September and October, but what sets the great athletes apart from the others is the work done outside of that time frame honing his skills. Attending football camps, lifting weights, and doing whatever it takes to stay on top of his game is what separates the good football players from the great ones. As you might expect, the most successful programs have the best offseason programs. Tim Spiess, who in six years as a head coach and defensive coordinator, has led Genoa to six playoff appearances and five league titles, says the Comet offseason

weight lifting program is vital to the team’s success in the fall. “At Genoa, we do things a little differently,” Spiess said. “We only require our players to lift two days per week. The reason we do that is because there is no excuse for them not being there (when it’s just for two days). For an athlete to say, ‘I had to work or get tutored,’ that might work if you have to lift three days per week. We usually have 100 percent attendance and the kids start to have more confidence and lose that anxiety. We’ve found that less is more. “And we have separate times for our younger kids if they don’t want to lift with the older guys. We send our workout charts to the younger kids that our older kids did when they were that age. When (graduated running back) Kyle Nutter was a freshman, he was benching 115 pounds — now he’s at 375. When a kid sees that up on the wall, it can be a little overwhelming. I think the biggest problem a young athlete has is looking at an older athlete and seeing how strong he can be.” Some football players are active in

other sports, and that is certainly a benefit when it comes to staying in shape. Playing basketball helps with athletes maintaining endurance while wrestling helps them to increase their strength, though there are some drawbacks to having to lose weight for the sport. In the spring, some of these athletes play baseball or run track to gear up for the summer and the two-a-day practices that come with playing football. For those who don’t play a winter or spring sport, that’s where getting in the weight room and conditioning becomes even more important. At that point, the burden lies on the players and the coaches to consistently work hard to build muscle and stay in shape. Oak Harbor senior Cobi Brough, who earned All-Ohio honors as a linebacker for his efforts last season, says he makes an extra effort to lift and staying in shape during the offseason. “Staying in shape and working hard in the weight room is important in the offseason,” said Brough, one of the Rocket captains, “because it helps you get ahead when

compared to other teams because the teams that work the hardest in the offseason are the most productive and successful. “We have an awesome weight room and training facilities. We work in there after school all winter and spring. Coach May goes to a lot of camps and always has a new drill or lift for us to do that helps work ourselves into better shape and play at the highest level we can.” Brough’s teammate, Cliff Biggert, who doubles as a wide receiver and linebacker and improved his bench press mark by 40 pounds since the end of last season, also seeks to stay on top of things during the winter, spring and summer months. “It’s very important to have the mindset of trying to make yourself stronger and better every time you lift,” said Biggert, who runs track in the spring to get in shape for football season. “Lifting during the offseason prevents injuries and makes playing the game fun when you can overpower (the opponents).”

Northwood valedictorian steps up to full Ironman

“

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

I’m hoping to ﬁnish in 12 hours. It would probably be stupid not to be nervous.

“

Greg Avery has been competing in triathlons ever since he graduated from Northwood High School in 2010. Now, the 22-year-old University of Michigan senior chemical engineering major is ready to step up to the big time – competing in a full Ironman event. Avery will compete in his first Ironman on Sept. 28 at Cedar Point. Ironman events consist of, in order, a 2.4-mile swim, a 112mile bike and a 26.2-mile marathon. “I’d like to think I’ll do well on the bike,” Avery said. “I’ve been putting in a lot of biking miles this summer, 150 miles per week. I go on the trail between Elmore and Fremont, just go back and forth. The swim, hopefully that shouldn’t be too bad, even though it’s open water (Lake Erie). There will be a lot of other people. I should finish in about an hour and 10 minutes. “Normally, I like running the most. I started out as a runner and enjoyed that the most out of my other sports. Since that (event) is last and I’ll already be seven hours in by that point, it will be a little draining by that point and I’ll want to get food in me and hope I’m not out of energy entirely.” Avery, his senior class valedictorian at Northwood, will graduate from Michigan in April with a degree in chemical engineering. He said he’ll be looking to get a job in the energy industry or with a chemical company. He carries a 3.34 GPA and is on the Dean’s List. His mind and body will certainly be put to the test next month. A distance runner (800, mile, twomile) at Northwood, Avery competed in cross country for three years before giving up that sport and track as a senior. “I took my senior year off in both sports to train for my first real triathlon,” Avery said. “I ran one the summer after my senior

Northwood High School grad (‘10), Greg Avery, will compete in his ﬁrst Ironman on September 28 at Cedar Point. year of high school. I didn’t do too bad, but I’ve gotten a lot better since then.” Avery said he has competed in about nine triathlons since high school. The Cedar Point Ironman has a hefty (around

$600) entrance fee, so he’s hoping he gets his money’s worth. He ran in the Detroit marathon two years ago and finished in a little over four hours.

“I could probably do a lot better now,” said Avery, who is 6-foot-2, 200 pounds. “I don’t even look at rankings. I think my time was 4:06 or something. I know I’m faster than that now.” Avery is a lifeguard at the Oregon YMCA and swims two or three miles – for about 90 minutes - before his shift at the pool. He puts in his road work at Pearson Park, averaging 16 miles on most of his runs. “It takes about two hours, two or three days a week,” he said, adding that he doesn’t have any expectations about where he will finish, overall or in his age group, next month. “Last year when I did the half Ironman at Cedar Point, I finished,” Avery said. “Even though I was physically dead, I said I want to do a full Ironman now. I’m hoping to finish in 12 hours. It would probably be stupid not to be nervous.” Avery said finding a training partner, in Northwood or Ann Arbor, Mich., is next to impossible. “There aren’t many people my age around where I live who want to do an Ironman,” he said. “There are enough swimmers I could train with, but not enough people who would want to run that distance or bike that distance.”

Toledo named nation’s top minor league sports market study since creating it in 2005. “Toledo has lost jobs and residents, and championships on the field have been few and far between. Despite these challenges, or maybe because of them, fans of the Mud Hens and Walleye have set the standard for team support.” The market’s No. 1 ranking validates the team’s significant investment in market research and staff training,” says Joe Napoli, President and General Manager of the Toledo Mud Hens and Toledo Walleye. “Community support for the two teams has never been higher. Fans come to both Fifth Third Field and the Huntington Center with family, friends and business associates knowing it’s a good value and an exciting experience.” The numbers reflect their passion for the teams. More than 550,000 people came to downtown last season to attend a Toledo Mud Hens game, which included 33 sellouts. The 2013-14 saw the Toledo Walleye set the team record for attendance at

Community support for the two teams has never been higher.

Street & Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal (SBJ) has named Toledo the Top Minor League Market in the country for 2013. This is the first time SBJ has picked Toledo as number one, out of the 235 communities nationwide, in its biennial Top Minor League list since its inception in 2005. Toledo was ninth in SBJ’s first survey, then fell to No. 77 in the 2007 study, but rose back up to number 18 in 2009, rose again to 13 in 2011, and this year the top spot. According to SBJ the ranking is determined by fan base, tenured clubs and the economy. This year, researchers analyzed 235 markets, 47 leagues, 408 teams, 249.8 million in total minor league attendance, and 2.64 billion in construction at 50 new or extensively renovated venues. “This project measures what market best supports its minor league teams through thick and thin,” said SportsBusiness Journal research director David Broughton, who has spearheaded this

226,743. The team had nine sell-outs and set a team record for group tickets. Every year, both clubs are also at or near the top of their respective leagues in terms of merchandise sales. Toledo’s roots for professional sports run deep. Baseball dates back to 1883 when

the first professional team played at League Park. The team went by other names until 1896 when it became the Mud Hens. Through the years it moved through several sites including Swayne Field and Ned Skeldon Stadium before coming to downtown in 2002. Professional hockey began in 1947 when the Toledo Mercury’s became the first IHL franchise to be granted outside the Windsor-Detroit area. The Toledo Walleye formed in 2009. Last week SBJ unveiled the teams that made up the other top five markets. These included: 1 Toledo, Ohio 2 Rochester, N.Y. 3 Hershey-Harrisburg, Pa. 4 San Bernardino County, Calif. 5 Springfield, Mass. The Mud Hens are the Triple-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. The Walleye are the ECHL affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings.

In Africa, Natasha finds more to life than basketball

“

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

I wanted to cry. The little kids were reaching out to us to hold them and play with them.

“

Natasha Howard is getting the opportunity to learn about more than just basketball at Florida State University. Howard, a 2010 Waite graduate and a 6-foot-3 senior forward on the Seminoles’ women’s basketball team, had an opportunity of a lifetime Aug. 7-11. The FSU basketball squad traveled to Italy and Africa as part of a foreign tour experience presented by Nike. Howard, 21, did not make the trip to Italy, but she traveled to Dakar, Senegal, from Aug. 7-11. The team went on safari at Bandia Animal Park and put on a basketball clinic for children and teenagers in Dakar. The team also visited an orphanage. “It was pretty cool, going out there and seeing wild animals in the open,” Howard said. “In Toledo, you go to the zoo and see animals in cages. I saw giraffes, zebras, monkeys, hippos (on safari). I fed a monkey some bread. It was about an hour from the hotel to the safari. I was kind of nervous. I thought the animals might attack the truck, but we had fun.” Howard said there were 15-20 infants at the orphanage during the team’s visit there. “The (adults) were telling us how some mothers there neglect their kids, and the people at the orphanage keep them until the father is ready to keep them at 1 year old,” Howard said. “It was good to hear the background of what they do there. The kids just wanted to be held and didn’t want to get put down. I wanted to cry. The little kids were reaching out to us to hold them and play with them.” She added that the visit helped her put things in perspective. “It really opened my eyes a lot, how much we have here in the United States,” Howard said. “I really appreciate what we have. I also appreciate giving back to countries that aren’t as fortunate as we are. I just want to give back. I held the little kids and played with them.” Zach Stipe, an assistant sports information director at FSU, said Howard was

(Photo courtesy of Zachary Stipe/FSU SID) impressive during the visit to the orphanage. “Tash was great with the little kids,” he said. “She loves kids.” The Seminoles also played two exhibition games against Senegal’s women’s national team, which features nearly all professional players. The home country won both contests. “They were pro athletes,” Howard said. “It was kind of tough playing against them, but it was a good experience for our team. We had fun, no matter what. I was like, wow, they’re a really good team!” Stipe said the FSU athletes also held a basketball clinic at a local stadium, where more than 50 local boys and girls from elementary age to high school participated.

The Seminoles stopped at villages and gave basketballs and bracelets to the children, and they visited Goree Island, where slaves were imprisoned hundreds of years ago before being shipped to the U.S., France or England. Florida State coach Sue Semrau said she was thankful to Nike for sponsoring the trip overseas. “These foreign tour trips are once-in-alifetime opportunities for our student-athletes,” she said, “and I’m so glad that we can provide this experience at FSU. We have a lot of new pieces on our team for the upcoming season, and this will allow us to bond as players and as a staff while playing games, giving back and seeing some incredible sites.”

Howard, who is majoring in social science, is the Atlantic Coast Conference’s active leader in career double-doubles (26), and she has career averages of 11.8 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks in 96 career games (94 starts). She is one of just 10 FSU women in the 1,000-point, 700rebound club. “I’ve had a lot of fun at FSU,” said Howard, a first-team All-ACC pick last year. “It has gone by fast. I’ve progressed a lot; my skill level has gone up. I’m still working on weaknesses that I’m really not good at. I’m in the gym every day working on the things I need to work on, so I can make myself better and help my team out when they need me.” The Seminoles, who won 23 games last season, are looking to ride that momentum to even bigger things this year, Howard said. “I’m looking forward to another good season in my last year,” she said. “We’re looking for an ACC championship before I leave. We were pretty close last year. I want to be the ACC champs and go to the NCAA tournament, then see if we can win it all. We have four good freshmen that came in to help us out.” Howard said she hasn’t yet put much thought into what her plans are after college. “I hope I get drafted into the WNBA,” she said. “After my basketball career is over, I’d like to be a counselor or a social worker.”

Inspirational Message of the Week: Ambiguous Loss

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

Oregon

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

Breymaier among volunteers honored by bird observatory The Black Swamp Bird Observatory at its annual volunteer picnic presented its Shieldcastle Award for Outstanding Volunteer Service to Terry Breymaier of Oak Harbor. Created in honor of Mark and Julie Shieldcastle, two of the founding members, the award recognizes those who have given extraordinary time, talent, and service to BSBO’s mission to inspire the appreciation, enjoyment and conservation of birds and their habitats through research, education and outreach. The observatory also recognized Toledo resident Tracy Marr by presenting her with the BSBO Conservation Award for Exemplary Service to the Cause of Bird Conservation. Marr has been volunteering for more than a decade and has helped advance the cause of bird conservation through hundreds of hours of research data entry, assistance in research projects, and much more. Tim Bollin, chairman of the board of directors, stated in a news release, “When we stop to catch our breath and look back over a year’s worth of hard work, the breadth and reach of this organization is astounding. From hosting one of the country’s largest birding festivals, The Biggest Week In American Birding, banding more songbirds than any other bird banding research station in the country, and offering free songbird education programs to thousands of local students, BSBO has grown into an organization with a national reputation. We have a remarkable staff, but without the commitment and dedication of our volunteers, our work would not be possible. “
