Save the monarchs... get milkweed

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com To counter the sharp decline in the population of the monarch butterfly, the Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative is expanding a pilot program to establish habitat areas for the butterfly by collecting milkweed seed pods.

The seeds will be used for new plantings for the butterfly throughout Ohio in the coming years.

Monarch caterpillars eat milkweed plants and the monarch butterflies use milkweed to lay their eggs.

Locally, the Soil and Water Conservation District offices in Ottawa, Lucas and Wood counties are participating this year in the program as collection points for seed pods.

Marci Lininger, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said the milkweed plant is “essential to the survival of monarch butterflies in Ohio.”

“Ohio is a priority area for monarchs.

Fourth generation monarch butterflies hatch in Ohio in late summer, migrate north to Canada and then come back through Ohio once more in order to fly to Mexico for the winter. This same generation is also responsible for starting the life cycle all over again, laying the following year’s first generation of monarchs,” she said.

The OPHI, a coalition of governmental agencies, universities and private sector entities, is asking residents to harvest milkweed pods growing on their property for the effort and drop them off at conservation district offices from Sept. 1 through Oct. 30.

The initiative offers tips for collecting pods: • It is best to pick the seed pods from the plant when they are dry and gray or brown in color.

• Pods should be collected into paper bags.

• Collectors are asked to label the bags with the name of the county, date and, if known, which species of milkweed was collected.

• Seeds should be stored in a cool, dry area until delivered to the collection site.

Sheriff Overmyer indicted

Concerns of police trigger probe

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

nies

The state’s investigation into Sandusky County Sheriff Kyle Overmyer started after local police chiefs in the county grew concerned about the sheriff’s “unusual behavior” when handling drug disposal drop box collections, according to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine’s office.

At the request of Sandusky County Prosecutor Thomas Stierwalt, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation opened its probe in September 2015 that resulted last week in a county grand jury indicting the 42-year-old sheriff on 43 counts – 38 of them felonies.

The charges include: • 12 counts of tampering with records, third degree felonies • 12 counts of deception to obtain a dangerous drug, fourth degree felonies • Three counts of deception to obtain a dangerous drug, fifth degree felonies • Six counts of theft in office, fourth degree felonies • Four counts of theft, fifth degree felo-

• One theft count, a fifth degree felony • Five counts of filing false financial disclosure reports, first degree misdemeanors The theft charges stem from allegations Overmyer took medications from area pre- Kyle Overmyer scription drug dropoff boxes and wasn’t disposing of them properly.

The other charges allege he improperly used his office’s Furtherance of Justice funding and tampered with records related to the fund.

The deception charges contend he misled doctors and pharmacists to obtain prescription pain medication.

Overmyer pled not guilty Wednesday to all counts in Sandusky County Common Pleas Court.

At the request of Stierwalt, Delaware County Prosecutor Carol Hamilton O’Brien

is serving as special prosecutor in the case The theft counts allege the sheriff stole drugs. Hydrocodone, Percocet and Oxycodone are listed in the counts for the deception charges.

The theft in office counts date back to alleged incidents in November 2013 and April 2015. The indictment sets the value of the property or services at between $1,000 and $7,500.

In addition to the allegations concerning the Furtherance of Justice funds, the tampering charges cite problems with requisitions the sheriff made.

During his arraignment, bond was set at $150,000 with a 10 percent cash option. Overmyer told visiting Judge Patricia Cosgrove he’s lived in the county all his life and has lived at the same residence for 17 years.

Overmyer was ordered to surrender his badge and any passports he may have as well as access to county equipment such as phones, computers, passwords and firearms. His personal firearms are also to be surrendered.

lected in the six or so counties participating in the pilot project.

“The Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative was pleased with that so it decided to make it available statewide. Soil and Water Conservation District offices could determine if they wanted to participate. We’re very excited,” said Jamie Kochensparger, Education Specialist at the Lucas Soil and Water Conservation District.

A collection receptacle for the pods will be placed outside the district office at 130-A, West Dudley St., Maumee.

Mike Libben, program administrator at the Ottawa SWCD, said pods can be dropped off at his office at 240 W. Lake Street, Oak Harbor In Wood County, the SWCD office is accepting pods at its office at 1616 E. Wooster Street, Bowling Green, according to Nicki Kale, district administrator/education coordinator.

The monarch population has rebounded slightly but still remains well below its long-term average, according to Candy Sarikonda, a conservation specialist with Monarch Watch.

“In 2013, we had the lowest monarch population ever recorded. The monarch population was extremely low during a three-year period, and then last year we saw a bit of a rebound. The monarch population increased to 4.01 hectares, an improvement over previous years but still 30 percent below the long-term average. Sadly, just as monarchs were preparing to leave the winter sanctuaries in Mexico and begin migrating north, a strong winter storm struck the sanctuaries. Some researchers estimate up to 50 percent of the monarchs perished in the storm, having frozen to death. This led to fewer monarchs returning north this spring, and a low number of monarch sightings this summer,” she said.

Last February, Elizabeth Howard, founder of Journey North, wrote that the number of monarchs wintering in Mexico had risen from record lows of the past three years.

“This year’s population contains 200 million monarchs compared to a long-term average of 300 million and a peak of 1 billion,” she wrote.

In January, Gibsonburg Police Chief Paul Whitaker told Cleveland television station WEWS he and other chiefs had concerns about Overmyer’s collection of the drugs from the drop-off boxes. He said Overmyer claimed to have an agreement with the Toledo office of the Drug Enforcement Agency that turned out to be false.

Chief Whitaker also said the state botched its initial look into the complaints by not interviewing many of those who raised questions about the sheriff’s actions.

Some overhead wires on Navarre to be removed

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council recently approved ordinances to remove and relocate overhead electric and cable wires to improve aesthetics as part of the Navarre Avenue Safety Improvement Project.

Council passed a purchase order and work agreements with Toledo Edison to relocate and remove lines for $195,751.

Council also approved a purchase order and a work agreement with Buckeye Broadband to relocate aerial cable equipment and underground lines for $87,524.62.

The section of Navarre that will be affected is from I-280 to Isaac Streets Drive.

“It was brought up at meetings that the overhead wires – the crossovers - would be something of an eyesore,” said Mayor Mike Seferian. “This is one step to accomplish getting some of the crossovers out. We initially thought it would cost more money than this. In the end, it was well within the budgeted range of money we believed we had left. It worked out real well.”

Parallel wires City Administrator Mike Beazley said he would eventually like to do something about wires that run parallel to the road.

“We’re going to look at ways of going there. But by [eliminating] the lines that cross the road, that is such a great start.

We’re going to look at that longer term and see what we can do. When I talked to some of the businesses over there, they were very pleased about it,” he said.

“If you look at the scope of work,” said Roman, “a lot of it is really labor and new wiring. The city would still be required to install conduit to put the lines underground. That would be a separate contract.

We’re guessing the cost can be anywhere from $150,000 to $200,000. When you add it up, it is expensive. But I think it’s going to look a lot more attractive to people traveling on Navarre.”

The project includes the construction of a dedicated public access road to alleviate traffic congestion.

The road will improve access to businesses near the intersection at Navarre Avenue, such as Tim Horton’s, Arby’s, and in the Freeway Plaza where several shops are located.

The project also includes the construction of a median along Navarre between Munding Drive and Isaac Streets Drive, and median openings to accommodate turnarounds and emergency access.

Seven turnarounds are expected to be constructed from I-280 to Isaac Streets Drive.

That section of Navarre is considered a hazard for vehicles heading east. Seferian once called it “the worst spot in the city,” where there is a high rate of injury accidents.

Color changing lights Bollards with LED color changing capabilities are among the enhancements included in the project at a cost of $135,000.

Roman said council earmarked $1 million for project enhancements and aesthetics.

“We will have decorative poles and LED street lighting. We’re well within budget for the aesthetics,” he said.

“Each light can change a different color. You can program it,” he added. “You can get an Internet hookup to the master control at Navarre and Wheeling. I think people will be impressed with it.”

Councilwoman Sandy Bihn praised Roman, Beazley and Seferian for adding such aesthetics to the project.

“I just want to congratulate everyone.

This is a project that has been near and dear to my heart for decades now.” I’d like to get a cost estimate for next year’s budget to go onto Coy and really clean up the industrial look that we have on our main street. I think it will help to attract commercial businesses here. It gives a sense of community pride. It’s a great project. I look forward to this happening.”

For the first time in five years, the Put-in-Bay Senior Center and Ottawa County Senior Resources is hosting “Senior Day Tour to South Bass Island” Tuesday, Sept. 13.

This year, the event will feature a jam-packed tour of the island, including visits to the Butterfly House, the Visitor’s Center, Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial, the South Bass Island Lighthouse and a Heineman Winery Tour.

Seniors will start their day at Catawba Island’s Miller Boat Line where they will board Island Transportation buses on the Miller’s Ferry for a 9:30 a.m. departure. A box lunch will be provided, compliments of Walker Funeral Homes and Crematory.

Tickets are $25 per person and include a round trip on Miller Boat Line, Tour train ride, and admission to the attractions listed above.

Tickets are available at all Ottawa County senior centers and the Senior Resources main office. The deadline to purchase tickets is Friday, Sept. 9.

Tickets are non-refundable.

Bihn also said she hopes the city will add Christmas light decorations along the road this year.

“I just don’t want another year where we don’t have anything down Navarre Avenue,” she said.

Beazley said the Christmas lights will likely be added once the project is completed.

Oregon recently approved the last property acquisitions as part of the $2.1 million safety improvement project. Construction is expected to begin next month and will take about 15 months to complete.

Underground improvements, such as waterline replacement and other drainage work, will be completed before main construction gets underway.

The major construction on Navarre will occur next year. There will be lane restrictions that will inconvenience some traffic, though there will be round the clock access to private driveways.

The Navarre Avenue Safety project is the result of recommendations from a safety study conducted for Navarre Avenue.

Ninety percent of the project will be funded by a state grant, with the remainder coming from the City Street Improvement fund.

Fishery managers ask anglers to scan perch Anglers can help fishery managers by taking yellow perch they catch this year in Lake Erie to be scanned for microchips at one of seven stations along the coast.

A collaborative project among the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife, U.S. Geological Survey, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and Ohio Sea Grant aims to study fish behavior, migration, population size and the rate of death by natural causes using data the public’s scanning efforts will provide.

“This research will help fisheries biologists better understand movement patterns of yellow perch, which in turn will assist agencies to better manage the yellow perch fishery,” said Patrick Kocovsky, a fishery biologist with the USGS Lake Erie Biological Station.

The microchips, called PIT tags, are about the size of a grain of rice and work similar to a pet microchip. Because of their small size, it is impossible to tell if a fish is tagged without scanning it. The part of the fish containing the tag is removed as a part of normal cleaning, so tagged fish are safe to eat.

Anglers can simply take their catch of yellow perch to one of the scanning facilities and pass their coolers through the scanner. Fish need not be removed from coolers to be scanned for PIT tags.

Sport fishing on Lake Erie is a $1 billion industry and important to Ohio’s coastal economies, and one of the most important species is yellow perch, according to Tory Gabriel, fisheries outreach coordinator and extension program leader for Ohio Sea Grant.

“With this project, anglers have a chance to provide data to the fisheries managers and, in the long term, actually help in keeping Lake Erie a world-class fishery,” Gabriel said.

More than 4,300 yellow perch were tagged during the 2013, 2014 and 2015 spawning seasons. Scanners on commercial trap net boats and at cleaning houses have scanned more than 4 million fish so far.

Preliminary results of the study show that yellow perch tend to stick together in

Algal blooms impact fish Researchers at The Ohio State University are studying how well fish can see both prey and predators underwater, and how that ability is influenced by changes in water clarity. They hope that the research will help Lake Erie fisheries adapt to algal blooms that reduce underwater visibility, which is important to visual hunters such as walleye.

Fish tend to follow a rotating stripe pattern that can be set up around a round tank in the lab. This allows researchers to study how well fish can see in various water conditions - no movement means the water is too murky for them.

“We wanted to integrate this really basic science - visual physiology - with the people who are out there catching the fish,” said Dr. Suzanne Gray, lead researcher on the Ohio Sea Grant funded project. “Walleye fishing in Ohio is close to a $1.8 billion industry, and walleye are going to be influenced in some way by changes to the visual environment that happen with the algal blooms in the late summer and fall.”

Gray, an assistant professor in Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, and her collaborators Dr. Jeremy Bruskotter and Eugene Braig are also adding a citizen science component to the project, using surveys and interviews to draw on Lake Erie charter captains’ expertise in selecting fishing lures, based on years of experience taking clients out to fish for the species of interest to this project. They will then test those lures in lab settings to provide science-based data for anecdotal knowledge of what lures work best for which fish under varying conditions.

“Our goal is to create a citizen science project associated with fishing success, with different colors or types of lures, under different turbidity conditions,” Gray explained. “We’ve had a positive response from the fishermen, who want to do anything they can to understand the fishery better. Which makes sense; it’s their livelihood and these blooms are potentially harmful to their business.”

Ohio State PhD student Chelsey Nieman already completed a pilot study for the project at Stone Lab, working out details like setting up tanks for various experiments and taking care of the fish used in the Dr. Suzanne Gray study. Her two months at the lab were funded by Ohio Sea Grant’s Small Grants Program, which provides up to $10,000 in research support to applicants.

The project also received letters of support from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Sandusky Fisheries Research Unit, which helps manage fisheries in Lake Erie, and Ohio Sea Grant Extension, which educates the public about sustainable local fisheries.

The Ohio State University’s Ohio Sea Grant College Program is part of NOAA Sea Grant, a network of 33 Sea Grant programs dedicated to the protection and sustainable use of marine and Great Lakes resources. For information on Ohio Sea Grant and Stone Lab, visit ohioseagrant.osu.edu.

National air rifle competition

Oak Harbor’s Kathy Tribble, hitting the mark

By Ashley Brugnone CMP Writer celder@thecmp.org With the 2016 Olympic events at a close, it was the women who rose up to show the world on the largest competitive stage that they are confident leaders in the shooting realm – winning the only three medals collected by Team USA shooting.

Nineteen-year-old Ginny Thrasher made history as she became the youngest to ever win the first gold medal of the Games during the Women’s 10-meter Air Rifle event. Kim Rhode, famed shotgun Skeet shooter, went on to add to her legacy by earning her sixth consecutive Olympic medal to become the first woman ever to do so along with being the first competitor, man or woman, to earn medals on five different continents. And Corey CogdellUnrein came home with her second bronze medal in Women’s Trap during her third Olympic showing.

Back on American soil, as the Olympians made strides in female sports on a global level, the women in Ohio were proving they too compete to succeed on a national level – including those who arrived late to the game in their 50’s and 60’s.

During the annual National Matches in July and August, the Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center at Camp Perry hosted a 30 Shot Bench League, where competitors used sporter, precision and AR15 air rifles to fire 30 shots downrange from a rested position. The highest score in each category was deemed the winner of the match.

Over 140 competed in the event, with the women coming out on top of the pack in each division.

Some of those older women earned their victories after taking advantage of the state-of-the art facilities through the Open Public Shooting nights the range offers year-round. “It’s just what I do on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And if you call me between 4:30 and 8:30, you’re not going to get a hold of me. This is it – this is where I am,� said Kathy Tribble, 57, of Oak Harbor.

Tribble gave an incredible performance to overtake the precision match, where a more accurate rifle is used than in the sporter competition. She recorded a score of 299-21x in the event – only one point away from a perfect 300. “This is the first that I’ve done anything like this,� speaking of competing in the National match. In the past, she was reluctant to sign up, but a recent health scare pushed her towards taking on the challenge. “If things didn’t go right, I’m going to have it known that at least one time, I was

Kathy Tribble was the overall winner in the National Match 30 Shot Bench League precision match. She is a regular at the range Open Public Nights. (CMP photo) good enough to shoot in the Nationals,� she added with tears in her eyes.

Growing up, her father was a man who believed that women were meant to stay in the house and unfairly discouraged her from firing any gun. With that notion in the back of her mind, she regrettably spent nearly 40 years without picking up a rifle – that is, until she found the air gun range two years ago.

It was there she discovered that not only did she actually enjoy shooting, but

she was even exceptional at the sport. The staff members within provided her with guidance and constantly praised her, telling her that she was a natural. “To this day, it still doesn’t seem like they’re right. But, the computer can’t be too wrong,� Tribble joked. “I’ve got a 299 in the Nationals.�

Ailed with diabetes and other health complications that limit her activities, Tribble grew bored sitting at home doing nothing but crafts, and she found coming

out to the air range helped her forget her health issues. “I can do it and I don’t have to depend on anyone else to do it for me,� she said. “I feel it’s a sport for anyone that’s physically able to sit here and pull a trigger . . . it’s something that I can do without having to be up physically moving around in order to do it.�

When she comes through the door, her gun and bags are set at her firing point, with the monitor tipped back the way she likes it and her chair turned out for her.

She praises the CMP staff for their kindness – on and off the firing line. “It’s a very rare occasion that one of them doesn’t help me with my bags to my car. I appreciate them being here. They even know the number of the gun I like to shoot,� she said. “That’s partly what feels so nice about coming out here. Everyone is so nice.�

With her first National Match win, Tribble has shown that she has what it takes to be an outstanding markswoman.

Air rifle is a difficult, demanding sport that tests the skills of even the most talented shots in the world. Despite the stigma sometimes attached to firearms, Kathy encourages others searching for a fulfilling activity to try out the range for themselves. “You’ll find that it’s a wonderful, quiet sport. In spite of the noise that’s usually thought of with guns, these are not loud.

So, if you put your mind to it, it can become a very, very relaxing sport,� Tribble said. “It’s a challenge between you and the gun as to what you’re getting on the target.

You’re challenging yourself.�

She added, “Sometimes it seems, when I get up in the morning, this is what I get up to do. I’m going to keep shooting as long as I possibly can.�

Following Tribble is another Ottawa County woman

By Ashley Brugnone CMP Writer celder@thecmp.org Coming in second during Camp Perry’s 30 Shot Bench League behind Oak Harbor’s Kathy Tribble was Joyce Edwards, 65, of Marblehead, who fired a score of 296-21x, “I had never shot a gun until about 11 months ago,� Edwards admitted. That was when she discovered the air range at Camp Perry. “I didn’t know what to expect.

I didn’t know if it was going to be easy or hard. I thought the rifle was going to have a kick to it, and it doesn’t.��

After visiting the range with her husband, Phil, and firing a few shots down-

range, she was hooked. She credits CMP staff members, like Kent Floro and Jackie Slosnerick, for helping her through the complexities of air rifle, such as sight picture, breathing and other marksmanship essentials. “They’ve been wonderful. Kent talked me through it each time and said, ‘We’re going to do better this time.’ At first I thought that’s a lot of stuff to remember!

But after a while, it gets to be routine,� she said.

When her husband went to air pistol, she started using his air rifle. With practice, she became better and better each time, and those around her encouraged her to sign up for the National Match event.

“Everyone said, ‘You know, you ought to try the matches.’ And I’m going, ‘Please, I’m just a housewife. I just come here to play around!’� she said with a smile.

Proving that she’s more than “just a housewife,� she not only surprised her husband and her children by placing second on the National-level, but also herself. “I really never expected to get to this point, but it’s fun. I like it,� she said.

Proud husband Phil supports her accomplishments – framing her best shot and getting a shadow box for the pins she earns. Joyce’s bout with rheumatoid arthritis causes inconveniences every now and then, but overall, the air range has been a place for her to reach new goals.

Letters

by John Szozda August, 1986 News: Miami Vice was the hottest television show prompting Press editor Scott Carpenter to write about a real-life private eye with an office in East Toledo. He also provided readers with tips on how to become a licensed sleuth. These included purchasing a $100,000 liability policy, passing a state exam ($25) and obtaining a license ($100). In addition, the applicant needed to be felony-free for the previous 20 years. Law enforcement or investigatory experience of two years was also recommended. *** Eternia from Masters of the Universe made an appearance at the Woodville Mall.

Douglas Meyer, Ottawa County Prosecutor, deemed a letter he received from Mark Pollack, 30, of Toledo, in which he confessed to an alleged rape and murder in Ottawa County, was an elaborate ruse to escape Lucasville Correctional facility.

Meyer stated that a similar letter was sent to prosecutors in other counties. Pollack was serving time for breaking and entering, escape and grand theft. He had a history of escaping jail in Oregon.

Sports: Coach Jim Wasserman was hoping to reload after his Waite Indians finished the 1985 season 8-2, two touchdowns short of a perfect season. Wasserman only had five starters returning including Tony Smith at center, Julian Boose at halfback and Mark Kerr, state wrestling champ, at tight end.

Why no support?

To the editor: On Senior Day at the Wood County Fair, I visited the Republican political tent promoting Ohio candidates for various positions.

Congressman Bob Latta was there and, guess what? Donald Trump, our party’s presidential candidate, was not represented by any posters in the tent. I asked Mr. Latta what was going on and he said he would check it out. He did say, when asked, that he would vote for Mr. Trump.

I walked over to the Democrat tent and, you guessed it, there was a nice, big picture of Hillary Clinton and her name was on the side of their tent. I would like to know who is responsible for not promoting our Republican presidential candidate at the fair and why Mr. Latta and other local Republican candidates did not demand our candidate be endorsed by local candidates for office at the county fair.

Republican candidates seeking office in Wood County need not ask for my sup-

port if any of you see fit not to endorse the Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump. If Hillary Clinton is elected, all you established candidates not supporting our candidate should be voted out of office and the Republican party should start rebuilding into a peoples’ party, not a body of selfserving elected politician hacks.

DeWine warns college students As students head back to school, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is warning consumers to beware of scams targeting students.

“People of all ages can be targeted by scams. For a student with limited income, losing money to a con artist can be devastating,” DeWine said. “Our goal is to help people recognize the warning signs and avoid scams.”

Scams targeting students include: Grant scams. Consumers receive a message on social media or a phone call saying they’re eligible for a federal grant worth several thousand dollars. In order to receive the grant, they’re told to pay a few hundred dollars in advance to cover taxes or fees. Ultimately, it’s all a scam; there is no real grant and any money the consumer sends will be lost.

Student loan relief scams.

Consumers are contacted by a student loan relief service that offers to help consolidate, reduce, or eliminate their student loans. Consumers are told to pay an upfront fee or to start making their student loan payments to this service.

Despite its promises, the debt relief service never reduces the consumer’s student loan debt and consumers are left in a worse financial position.

Part-time job scams. Consumers find a part-time or seasonal job online.

They complete an online interview and are selected for the position. As one of their first assignments, they receive a check and are told to deposit it, then immediately send some of the money to fulfill a certain task, such as paying the employer’s landlord or buying equipment. After sending the money, the consumer finds out that the employer’s check was counterfeit and the job was a scam.

Apartment rental scams. A consumer finds a good deal on an apartment online and responds to the ad. The “landlord” tells the consumer to wire a down payment to secure the rental. After sending money, however, the consumer finds out that the landlord was a scammer and the rental ad was bogus.

Online buying and selling scams.

Consumers go online to buy or sell an item, such as a car, a bike, or furniture.

They pay to buy an item but receive nothing in return. Or, they try to sell an item and a “buyer” sends them a check for more than the agreed-upon price and asks them to send back the extra amount right away (before the buyer’s check has cleared). After sending the money, they find out the buyer’s check was counterfeit; it was all a scam.

Consumers who suspect a scam should contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Office at www.OhioProtects. org or by calling 800-282-0515.

Clay student “Ag is Cool!” winner

By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Sydney Hales, a junior in the Agricultural and Environmental Technologies Program at Clay High School, recently won the “Agriculture is Cool!” art contest held by the Ohio Department of Agriculture.

Hales was given the award in July by Gov. John Kasich and Ohio Department of Agriculture Director David T. Daniels at the Ohio State Fair.

The art contest winners earned a trip to the fair as well as a certificate, a t-shirt and a cap.

Ohio children enrolled in school or homeschooled during the 2015-2016 academic year shared their personal interpretation of why Ohio agriculture is “cool.” Entries, which included photographs, drawings, and paintings, were judged in four different age categories – K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. Ten entries were selected as winners in their respective categories.

According to Meredith Wolfe, agriculture technologies teacher, Hales submitted a watercolor landscape reflecting 21st century agriculture that she created for an endof-the-year project in her agriculture class.

“I had the students do a self-directed project for the end of the year,” Wolfe said.

“She is very interested in art as well so she did the painting and won first place in her division.”

Hales, daughter of Don and Angie Hales, of Oregon, said she did not tell anyone about the award, except the person she took with her to the fair, Cecilia Guerrero.

“We had a lot of fun at the fair and got to ride all of the rides,” Hales said. “We had three weeks left in our class last year and Ms. Wolfe emailed me the “Ag is Cool” link. I thought it looked like fun. My art teacher, Kristin Wamer, suggested I do a watercolor painting. I just decided to enter it into the contest. I never thought I would win.”

Hales said she learned of the agriculture class in her freshmen year from her older sister, Stephanie.

“My sister said it was a good program,” she said. “I have always been interested in plants and animals so I decided I would take the class.”

Now in her third year, Hales is involved with the Floral and Greenhouse Committee and is hoping to earn a degree in floral design or agriculture from Bowling Green State University or Adrian College.

“I think Ag is very cool,” Hales said. “I was able to use art to express that. I really did not think my art was good enough, but now I am going to enter again next year.”

For Wolfe, a 2006 Clay graduate and 2010 Ohio State University graduate in agricultural education, Hales winning the contest is a personal victory as well.

“Ag is cool,” she said. “My teacher at Clay, Charlie Snyder, just really had a passion for agriculture. I decided to follow in

Toledo Museum welcomes record number of summer interns This summer, the Toledo Museum of Art welcomed a record 23 college student interns and 12 high school students from Toledo School for the Arts for employment at the Museum. The internship program was made possible by The John and Dorothy Clement Scholarship Fund that provides funding to support hiring 21 of the interns for summer 2016. The students work an average of 20-25 hours per week.

“The goal of the internship program is to show that there are more opportunities in the Museum than just being an artist.

The Museum is in the business of art education and we will always need innovative people to help us make this happen,” said Siccorah Martin, TMA human resources manager.

TMA’s internship program has been in existence for 14 years, but this year the Museum had more interest in other departments besides curatorial and public programming. This year the program expanded to include marketing/communications, information systems, development, education, security, graphic design, public programming, special events, facilities and grounds. Toledo School for the Arts students oversee Play Space, a new outdoor playground.

Among the interns were: Genoa: Jaron Bintz, Security, Bowling Green State University; Oregon: Nicholas Siebenaller, Information Systems, Ohio State University;

Student Stars Toledo: Tamara Young, marketing/ communications, American University; Cecilla Gonzales, Development, Davis College; Tami Landis, Curatorial, University of Toledo; Myranda Duhart, Education Student Assistant, Spelman College; Toledo School for the Arts students Mitchell Sigurdson, of Genoa, a 2016 graduate; and from Toledo, Samantha Cornell, senior; Anthony Dixon, sophomore; Kira McElvany, 2016 graduate; Savanna Hudson, 2016 graduate; Reagan Shull, senior; Janey Koszycki, sophomore; Madeline Rick, junior; Zackary Seiple, senior and Jadin Bader, junior.

Academic honors University of Dallas: Michael Weisenburger, of Pemberville.

Graduates: Bowling Green State University: Kaleb Kuzma, Brett Jordan, of Oregon.

Ring raffle to benefit Albright Northwood Jewelers is conducting a raffle for a diamond ring appraised at $11,200, with proceeds going to benefit Corrie Albright of Woodville.

In 2011, Corrie, an active wife and mother of two, underwent what was to be a routine hysterectomy. After developing one complication after another which required countless trips to local hospitals, the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic, she has endured multiple invasive surgeries and numerous procedures. On May 7, she received an intestinal transplant at the Cleveland Clinic. Part of the recovery process requires her to remain close to the clinic to help mitigate any complications.

Medical costs accruing over the past five years have taken a toll on the family’s finances.

The ring was donated for raffle by a Northwood Jewelers customer, who wishes to remain anonymous. The customer, doesn’t know Albright but was moved after hearing about Corrie and wanted to help the family.

The 14K white and yellow gold ring, custom designed by Northwood Jewelers, features a 1.51 carat pear-shaped diamond.

The value was determined by GIA certified appraiser Jim O’Bryant, who donated his services.

Raffle tickets, donated by Leeper Printing Company, are $20. Only 800 tickets will be sold. The drawing will be held Sept. 9 at a fundraiser being held from 6-11 p.m. at Ole Zim’s Wagon Shed in

Donated ring from Northwood Jewelers.

Gibsonburg.

Raffle tickets are available at Northwood Jewelers, 4725 Woodville Rd., Northwood or call 419-691-6352.

The fundraiser will include a chicken and ham dinner, music provided by DJ Riddle, live and silent auctions and a 50/50 raffle.

“Caring for Corrie” fundraiser tickets are $40 per person. For more info or to make a donation, visit the “Caring for Corrie” Facebook page, or contact Barb at 419-410-8666, Helen at 419-509-8416, Becky at 419-350-8687 or Carol at 419-6806643.

Dedication and ribbon-cutting set The Pemberville Freedom Area Historical Society will present a dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Pemberville Opera House Elevator Tower Sunday, Aug. 28 at 6 p.m. at the Pemberville Town Hall, 115 Main St. Fundraising began in earnest for the Opera House elevator project in 2014, and the groundbreaking took place last summer.

Construction began in September 2015. Two major grants were received totaling $272,000 and the remainder of approximately $128,000 was raised through private contributions.

The Historical Society continues to raise funds to complete the restrooms in the new tower.

The emcee for the evening will be David Marsh, Pemberville.

Mayor Gordon Bowman will provide opening remarks and the invocation will be provided by Rev. Peter Johnston. Following the ribbon-cutting, light refreshments will be served.

Flyers start strong behind 12 returning letter winners

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com What a difference a year makes.

Ninth-year Lake boys soccer coach Chad Lillich and the Comets are finding that out early in the 2016 season. Lake returns 12 lettermen from last season’s 7-10-1 team.

“There is a little bit more determination this year with the experience, and we are a little bit older,” Lillich said. “We had seven to eight sophomores starting last year.

We’ve matured and we are a little more serious with practices and game preparation.

We’re learning how to take care of things we should take care of.”

The Flyers improved to 2-0 on Tuesday with a 3-2 win at Genoa. Zack Ellison scored twice and Michael Szymanski scored a goal and added an assist for the Comets. Keeper Brandon Thielen had nine saves.

Lake opened the season with a 4-1 drubbing of Pettisville on Aug. 20. Szymanski had two goals, Shawn Lillich and Larry Wamer had one goal apiece and Thielen had four saves.

“We didn’t put teams away in the past,” coach Lillich said. “Now we’re closing out teams that we wouldn’t put away last year.

We have, on paper, a pretty strong team. It’s just a matter of staying consistent and staying healthy. We have 33 kids in our program.

We have depth, but not a lot of experienced depth.”

Lake junior midfielder Michael Szymanski (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/ HEHphotos.smugmug.com)

Hoffman and Shawn Lillich, both junior midfielders, and Ellison, a senior forward, were second-team All-Northern Buckeye Conference selections a year ago. Ellison is a team captain.

“Zack is very strong on the ball and does a very good job of holding up the play when we need to in attacking the zone,” coach Lillich said. “Offensively, he’s a pretty skilled striker and a pretty intelligent player.”

Shawn Lillich added honorable mention all-district honors to his resume in 2015.

“He’s a passing midfielder,” coach Lillich said. “He has very good field vision and is great at passing the ball. He does a lot of our set pieces. The goal he scored against Pettisville was a corner kick he bent into the net.”

Szymanski, a junior midfielder/forward, was a starter last season and is dangerous on the ball, according to his coach.

“He is probably one of the more offensively skilled players in the league,” coach Lillich said. “We have to work on consistency in his play, but he is a very dynamic player.”

Thielen, a junior, is also a returning starter in goal.

“Brandon brings a lot of experience as a goal keeper for us,” coach Lillich said. “He plays goal for the Celtics and has matured more as a goalie. His experience will be big for us this year.”

The Flyers’ other key players are senior midfielder Nick Touhy, junior midfielder Carson Tracy and fellow juniors Devon Lindhurst, Cole Lloyd, Keegan Lafferty and Larry Wamer.

“Devon is probably one of the better defenders in the league,” coach Lillich said.

“He’s very calm on the ball and plays with great poise. He is one of our guys who can organize everything in the back.”

Touhy, a team captain, battled a knee injury throughout last season.

“He’s kind of our workhorse and he plays wherever we need him,” coach Lillich said. “He is probably our most experienced player and he’s a physical player. He is very demanding of the group and keeps everything organized. He can play multiple positions and he should be all-league this year.”

Last year’s team won its first two Division II tournament games by a combined score of 3-0 before getting shut out

by Ottawa Hills, 5-0, in the district semifinals. The Flyers also lost to NBC champion Eastwood twice during the regular season, by a combined score of 10-3.

“I’d like to see us make that next step this year and compete for the NBC title,” coach Lillich said. “Eastwood’s won it the last two years and hopefully we can close that gap this year. We had a pretty good playoff run last year and we kind of took that momentum and carried it into this season. It would be nice to compete for the NBC and make a good playoff run.”

After Lake girls get two non-league wins, the season looks bright

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@persspublications.com No one knows how Bryan High School’s girls’ soccer season will turn out.

Neither, for that matter, does Lake coach Don Jablonski know how his Flyers will finish the season.

This much is known: Lake crushed the Bryan Bears, 7-0, on Tuesday behind three goals from Kayla Saffran and goals from fellow seniors Kaity Weis and Alyx Fisher, junior Maddy Hodgson and sophomore Courtney Johnson.

The Flyers opened the season with a 3-0 shutout of the Lima Shawnee Indians, with Saffran scoring twice and junior Makenzie Briggs adding another goal.

Judging from what he’s seen in practice and in the first two games, Jablonski said he anticipates a stellar season.

“I told them my expectation was to go 16-0,” he said. “They think they can do it.

It’s just getting them to believe they can do it. We dropped all the Division I teams on our schedule. We picked up Central Catholic, who beat us in district semis, and we picked up Ottawa-Glandorf and Oak Harbor. We added some real good D-II schools and I think it will help us in the long run.”

The Flyers finished 9-7-2 last season, losing to Central Catholic, 2-1, in the D-II district semifinals. Jablonski said Lake, which returns 15 letterwinners, should improve on that win total if it can continue scoring.

“We struggled scoring goals last year,” Jablonski said.

“Defensively, even though we lost two senior players in the back, we are playing with a lot more consistency in the back. We

(graduated) Alicia Frisinger and Makenzie Brittenham and they both played in the back for two or three years. This is probably the best all-around group I’ve had in my four years here.”

Jablonski said he was happy about the return of junior defender Sophie Jackson, who missed last season with a back injury.

“She’s probably the quickest kid on the team,” Jablonski said. “She was track team’s MVP. She’s getting better. Not playing last year hurt quite a bit. She does what is explained to her and what is expected of her and she is becoming a better soccer player every time she steps on the field.”

Saffran was named to the All-Northern Buckeye Conference first team and was a second-team All-Ohio selection last season.

She led the Flyers with 30 points (10 goals, 10 assists).

“She can play with either leg,” Jablonski said. “She plays club soccer at a high level in the spring. Her only sport is soccer and she understands the game real well.”

Weis, who plays forward, led the team with 12 goals last year and added four assists. Junior forward Taylor Timmons also had four goals and four assists last season “Kaity works hard,” Jablonski said.

“She hadn’t played soccer at a higher level until she got to high school. Her and Kayla work well together. Taylor is starting to come into her own. We will use her as a playmaker. She has played at a high level, so she knows what it’s about and knows how to play.”

Senior midfielder Rebekah Swartz is a four-year starter while Hodgson, a junior midfielder, returns after scoring seven goals and adding seven assists as a sophomore.

Ground level ozone is a health hazard especially for children and people with asthma.

Drive less

“Maddy probably has the hardest shot on the team and is just starting to get it under control,” Jablonski said. “She started out rough (against Bryan), but by the end of the game her shots were something to be reckoned with. She played well.”

Other key players include seniors Abi Lovell, Angelica Aikman and keeper Emily Lovell, a three-year starter and first-team All-NBC pick last season.

“Emily has determination and loves to

work hard,” Jablonski said.

“The harder you work her, the more she loves it. Great kid, and very smart.

Our defensive squad, including (juniors) Olivia Matlack and Kennedy Walsh, is really playing hard. Olivia started for me last year and Kennedy is in her first year. All four girls (including Swartz and Johnson) read each other and support each other.”

Scholarship golf outing approaches GenoaBank announced plans to sponsor its Annual Scholarship Golf Outing, which provides scholarships to local students planning to major in business at a two or four-year college or university of their choice.

This year’s outing is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 9th at the Oak Harbor Golf Club. Shotgun starts will begin at 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. The entry fee is $260 per team. The event also includes a mixed division in addition to the open division.

The day’s events will include various all-day skill prizes, betting holes, raffle prizes, and two 50/50 cash drawings.

The outing offers many exciting prizes, various gift certificates, and one lucky golfer will be leaving with a live pig.

To mark the 22nd year of its scholarship program, GenoaBank President and CEO, Martin P. Sutter recently awarded $8,000 to sixteen graduates within the Class of 2016.

Since its inception in 1994, GenoaBank has awarded over $100,000 through the GenoaBank Scholarship.

Award recipients are chosen by their high school counselors and are based on a combination of criteria, including academic achievement.

Sutter summarized the bank’s motivation behind the scholarship when he stated, “There is little question that for most families, college financing is the next biggest expenditure after their home. While GenoaBank recognized this in the 1990s, “I do not think that anyone could have foreseen the escalation of costs over these past twenty-two years.

As a result, it’s extremely rewarding to know that we can provide this type of direct assistance to hard-working and deserving students. The Bank has a long history of supporting members of our community.” stated Sutter.

This year, the money collected, will benefit the following schools: Cardinal Stritch, Clay, Danbury, Genoa, Lake, Maumee, Northwood, Oak Harbor, Perrysburg, Port Clinton, Put-in-Bay, Rossford, Sylvania Northview, Sylvania Southview, Waite and Woodmore.

Genoa looking to return the favor in Celestial Ball

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Genoa and Oak Harbor are almost mirror images of one another.

Less than 12 miles apart, both towns have similar populations, they are blue collar farming communities and they love their football.

Over the years, the Comets and Rockets have had some battles as players like Kyle Nutter, Jake Scott, David Nutter, Brian Mallernee, Marcus Vicars and Mark Konieczny excelled on the big stage.

Last year, Oak Harbor broke a sevengame losing streak that began during the Mike Vicars-Tim Spiess regime in Genoa.

The Rockets had their share of close losses during the streak before defeating the Comets, 20-8, last year behind a great defensive performance.

The Oak Harbor defense held Genoa to just 59 yards of total offense and two Jeff Winterfield touchdown passes, a 66-yarder to Jaret Parker and a nine-yard strike to Noah Harder, which were enough to give the Rockets the lead before a Caleb Oberther interception returned 34 yards for a touchdown in the closing minutes sealed the deal. Winterfield was the star of the game, completing 11-of-19 passes for 176 yards and two scores.

Just the year before, the Comets won a close game, 33-25, behind a rushing attack that featured Jake Wojciechowski (150 yards) and Nick Wolfe (142 yards).

The Rocket passing attack featured Andre Ramsey connecting on 16-of-30 passes for 216 yards and three touchdowns and an interception, including 52 yards on the ground, plus a rushing touchdown. Cole Weirich caught five passes for 116 yards and a touchdown.

Oak Harbor coach Mike May, now in his ninth year coaching the Rockets, says this rivalry is special.

“There is obviously a great tradition involved with this game. The fact that we have played each other for so many years makes it a special game,” said May. “I know both communities and football programs take great pride in winning this game. There is always a little added emotion and intensity during Genoa week.”

Genoa coach Paul Patterson, who is in his fourth year with the program, the first of which came as an assistant under Spies, says each town bring its own flavor to the rivalry.

“It’s a cool rivalry because it’s so generational. (Former Genoa) Coach (Jim) Firestone still comes around the program and was a part of things when it got started,” Patterson said. “You’ve got people who have lived in both communities and have been part of that rivalry. Now, a younger generation is part of it. We even have parents who went to Oak Harbor and their kids go to Genoa, so that’s a cool aspect to it, too.”

Both teams operate out of the Wing-T but have quarterbacks who are capable of airing it out.

Winterfield is back to lead a Rocket offense that includes Parker and Oberther in the backfield along with Dylan Mansor and Raymon Behlmer split wide. The Comets, who feature a younger group, have Jacob Plantz under center with running backs Matt Bradfield, Josiah Bradfield and Noah Edwards as its primary playmakers.

May knows his team must work to

“It is important to be fundamentally sound and focus on your specific job when defending the Wing-T offense. Genoa is very athletic, so we must focus on not giving up big plays,” he said. “On offense, we need to protect the football and establish long drives to keep their offense off the field. And we must finish drives by scoring touchdowns when we get into the red zone. They are always well-coached and fundamentally sound. I know they will always give their best effort against us.”

Patterson says his team must do the same.

“That’s the big thing, staying disciplined on defense to make sure you don’t allow those big plays. That’s what happened last year, they had some big plays and some clutch plays,” said Patterson.

“You really have to be disciplined. Bend, but don’t break. Offensively, I think we’ve done a good job of having balance while running the ball effectively and passing

the ball. They’re a disciplined defense and they are very well-coached. You have to take advantage of some things with them.”

Former coaching greats like Firestone, Gary Quisno and John Boles have made their mark in this rivalry. Firestone, the winningest coached in Genoa history, accumulated a 109-60-6 record over 18

years, 13 of which were in the Northern Lakes League against top competition.

Firestone was instrumental in helping to create the Suburban Lakes League, which lasted as an organization for 40 years.

Quisno coached the Rockets for 29 years, accumulating a 224-83 record that included eight playoff appearances and eight league titles (5 Sandusky Bay Conference, 3 SLL) and two regional championships.

In the 1990s, Quisno and Boles had some great battles between one another that sometimes resulted in the winner barely making the playoffs and the loser just missing out.

Before coming to Genoa, Boles coached at Northwood and was later the head man at Maumee, but first a successful 12-year run with the Comets from 1986-97, going 73-47 record during that span. He won four SLL titles at Genoa, led the Comets to a 10-0 season in 1989 and and nearly got the team to the playoffs twice, in a time when each region only accepted four teams.

50 years later, Eastwood celebrates first gridiron title

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com If you were a youngster when the 1966 Eastwood football team took the field, you would have thought, “Man, this school knows how to play this game.”

Actually, when the ‘66 Eagles finished 8-1, it was the school’s first-ever league gridiron championship. Eastwood opened the season losing to Springfield, 6-0, but went on to win eight straight and claim a Northern Lakes League championship.

Under Coach Ed Barney, Eastwood downed Perrysburg (40-14), Lake (42-30), Elmwood (28-26), Anthony Wayne (28-12), Rossford (22-20), Maumee (28-14), Genoa (30-18) and finished with a non-league win over Lakota (22-12). Eastwood began playing football in 1958.

“It was an accumulation of things — everybody accepted their role, we had above average talent and the big thing is that everybody bought into Ed Barney’s concept,” Dennis Henline, a senior end, said.

“Ed had the vision and on some teams, they never accept the team concept, but I think on our team everybody accepted their role. We were blessed with some God-given talent. We didn’t have a superstar in my opinion, but we had some people who were above average.”

The 50th anniversary of the 1966 NLL championship will be celebrated before Eastwood’s football game against Bowling Green at Freedom Field on Friday. In attendance will be Barney, line coach Fred Koester and end coach Paul Neeb. Gene French, the backfield coach and Gerald Emmons, the tackle coach, are also invited.

Dr. Theodore Bowlus, a 6-foot-4, 205 pound offensive guard and linebacker for the 1966 Eagles, says Barney had a philosophy that worked, and it resulted in the team rarely having to punt.

“He was an excellent coach, got us in good position, and he knew what plays to call and when to call them. If he found a successful play, he would keep running it and running it until they finally closed the hole. Then, often he’d go to the opposite side and run the same play. We always thought that was funny.

“We played ball control. The coach kept calling plays. If it was fourth down and five, we’d go for it, or if it was fourth down and eight, we’d go for it because he knew what plays would get him that amount of yardage. It was a unique season,” Bowlus continued. “We were kind of unique because we came off a 0-9 season, but the season before we had some very close games.”

Starts with pick-six It took an 87-yard pick-six by Henline to get things started. His interception return against Perrysburg in the second game provided Eastwood with their first points of the season, and the next thing you know, that game turned into a 26-point rout that ended an 18-game losing streak.

“It was one of those things, that after I caught it, it was like, ‘Oh, my goodness,’ and everybody just kept blocking,” Henline said.

“I remember (175 pound senior end) Ed Coy threw a good block, and so did (senior Bob) Wilson, and we were all on the field together as a defense. It was one of those things that just clicked. And, to beat Perrysburg at Perrysburg, that was quite a thing.”

Eastwood’s All-NLL first team players

Eastwood 1966 football team — Front row: Mike Parrish, Rod Bockbrader, Jim Brinker, Ken Michelsen, Jack Bortel, Ted Bowlus, Ed Coy, Denny Henline, Bob Wilson, Mike Diebert, and Ken Davis. Second row: Raleigh Smith (manager), Mike Hannan, Dan Vestal, Dave Derr, Mark Rowland, Dave Huprich, Roger Hansen, Dick Rohloff, Mike Aring, John Migliori, and Denny Mock (manager). Third row: Bob Bruggemeier (manager), Fred Enriquez, Denny Eisenhower, Craig Reed, Dave Evans, Jim Alexander, Ron Grolle, Scott Haas, Mike Gardner, Larry Titkemeier, and Dennis Helm (manager). Fourth row: Coach Paul Neeb, Coach Gerald Emmons, Alan Titkemeier, Doug Losey, Bob Coakley, Calvin Adams, Gary Emch, Tom Donaldson, Wes Long, Coach Fred Koester, Coach Gene French and Head Coach Edison Barney. (1967 Eastwood yearbook, Aquila) had to do was get by that defensive line and then he could very easily beat the defensive backs because of his power and speed.

I always gave a lot of credit to the offensive line for getting him through.”

Wilson was offered a full ride to the University of Michigan, where he was switched to defense and played one year.

Others played and in many cases starred at NCAA Division II or III programs.

“When you think about it, how many lines have guys who go onto D-I and D-II schools? I think we had some very talented individuals who really wanted to play football,” Bowlus said.

Coach Barney’s decision to put Wilson in the backfield spurred the offense that year. Wilson scored 114 points that year on 16 touchdowns and 18 conversion points, leading Wood County.

“When we were juniors, Bob Wilson was an offensive and defensive end, but then Ed Barney switched him to halfback because of his speed and power,” Bowlus said. “So, that was very helpful. If the offensive line, and we did, open up holes for Bob, that’s all we had to do because all he

Deep arsenal Wilson, who was named a prep honorable mention All-American, wasn’t the only offensive weapon in the Eagles’ arsenal.

“We had depth at running back. We had Wes Long, Mike Parrish, and Gary Emch, Jack Bortel, Ken Davis and Kenny Michelson ran occasionally and they were all really strong, powerful backs who had a lot of talent,” Wilson said.

Bowlus and Henline also praise the quarterback play of Gardner, who put everything on the line. When he was injured during the Rossford game, Roger Hansen stepped in and finished off a come-from-behind two-point victory over the Bulldogs.

“I still say Mike Gardner was ‘Ed Barney on the field’ — unselfish, just smart, and knew what he had to do to get the ball to whomever,” Henline said. “I was reading some articles, and I was surprised how many times he passed and made 10 out of 13 — that’s pretty good for a high school quarterback back then.”

Bowlus, now a Perrysburg podiatrist, added, “Mike could thread the needle with passing like nobody I’d ever seen — tremendous passing. I think he only weighed 145 pounds, but pound-for-pound he was one of the strongest guys on the team.”

On Friday, a tailgate will be held from 4-6 p.m., followed by a walk on the field by the 1966 coaches, players and cheerleaders at 6:55 p.m., the Eastwood-BG football game at 7 p.m., and a social hour from 9-10 p.m. at the American Legion Post No. 183 in Pemberville.

Dr. Bowlus says about 40 former players, coaches and family have confirmed they will attend. The event is supported by the Eastwood Alumni Association.

Organizers ask that anyone else — football players, cheerleaders, band members, majorettes, class members, or their families and friends who wish to attend, RSVP to Henline at 419-287-4750 or dhenlinerealty@gmail.com.

Three former Eagles lead Lourdes After a successful inaugural season, Lourdes University’s women’s soccer program looks to climb over the .500 mark for the first time in program history in 2016.

Head coach Jackie Donovan returns 13 players from last year’s roster which led the Gray Wolves to an 8-9-1 overall record and a 5-5 mark in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference.

Last year, Lourdes tied for sixth place in the league standings before falling to Siena Heights in the WHAC tournament quarterfinals. Donovan has brought in 11 newcomers, including eight true freshmen.

Three former Clay and Owens Community College players are with the Gray Wolves, including 5-foot-3 senior midfielders Abby Groll and Kendyl Christian and 5-6 junior/senior defender Megan Soncrant. In the midfield, Groll gained a great deal of experience last season. Also with Lourdes is 5-7 freshman/sophomore midfielder Reagan Boice (Eastwood).

Lourdes has a talented corps of forwards that will look to provide more offense for a squad that scored 15 goals in the first season. Christian added three goals

Clay girls soccer expectations high

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Clay’s girls’ soccer team fell short of winning its second straight Three Rivers Athletic Conference title last season.

Coach Don “Duck” Hess and the Eagles finished second behind St. Ursula Academy in 2015, but they return their top seven scorers from last season as well as 10 seniors. Clay has four juniors and two sophomores who all earned varsity letters last year, and it added three freshmen who have high-level club experience.

“Expectations are very high,” Hess said. “As far as the technical skill of this team, this team is as good as any team I’ve seen in 10 years. We have a lot of experience. The senior class, this is their fourth year on the varsity for a lot of them and they know the varsity game. They were a big part of winning the TRAC championship as sophomores.”

The Eagles finished 12-4-4 last season, losing to Perrysburg, 4-0, in a Division I district final.

“We scrimmaged Perrysburg in the offseason and we feel we’ve closed the gap,” Hess said. “Our goal this year is to get beyond district play. If we are playing our best soccer at that time, we can play with anybody.”

Hess said the Eagles, who opened this season with a 2-1 home loss to Avon Lake, has one of the most difficult schedules in the program’s history. He said Clay will have to go through Notre Dame Academy, St. Ursula and Findlay to win the TRAC, but the Eagles also have difficult nonconference matchups against Olentangy Liberty, Ashland, Brunswick, Strongsville, Upper Arlington, Amherst Steele and Anthony Wayne.

“If we can compete in some of those non-conference games,” Hess said, “we’re going to be able to compete in the postseason tournament.”

Senior striker Karleigh Clere, who is a team captain along with Sami Heintschel and Marisa Vislay, led Clay with 38 points (11 goals, 16 assists) last season. Clere is a four-year starter and has committed to play at the University of Findlay.

“A lot of our offense runs through her,” Hess said. “She draws a lot of attention, so other people have to step up.”

Alex Vartorella, a senior striker who scored the Eagles’ goal against Avon Lake, had seven goals and three assists last season.

She is a fourth-year varsity player who has also committed to play at Findlay next year.

“She gets her battery going and goes 100 percent,” Hess said. “She can create some havoc for the back line.”

Junior center midfielders Hailey Clere and Reagan Clark have already committed to play in college and return to the starting lineup along with Heintschel, Vislay, junior midfielder Marissa Brezvai, senior midfielder Sydney Hess, senior keeper Olivia Hornyak and senior fullback Joci Verb, a four-year varsity player.

Hailey Clere had four goals and seven assists last season, while Brezvai had five goals and four assists. Sydney Hess and Heintschel, both four-year starters, combined for seven goals and Clark added three goals a year ago. Vislay is a fourth-year varsity player.

Hess said he also sees good things from starting freshman center midfielder Rylee Clark.

“Rylee has put the time into club-level soccer and is very good,” the coach said.

“We have a great group of girls. If we can buy into that team concept, we’re going to be a fun team to watch.”

Inspirational Message of the Week: We All Make Mistakes We all make mistakes, and sometimes these mistakes are big ones which adversely affect ourselves and the ones we love. It is often easier to live with mistakes that affect only ourselves than those which hurt the ones we love. But we should not allow ourselves to be crushed by our mistakes. We really should pick ourselves up, do what we can to alleviate the damage that we may have caused, and get on with our lives. In fact, we should really have a mindset that plans on making mistakes. Not in the sense of actually trying to do something wrong, but in the sense that because we are human, we know that we will err and that our errors may sometimes be costly and painful.

Most car crashes are caused by driver error, and we can wallow in our guilt after an accident, or we can “dust ourselves off,” and move on with our life. I’m not suggesting that we be callous about our mistakes. A certain amount of guilt and remorse is appropriate, but it is important that we not wallow in self-pity precisely because that attitude makes it more difficult to help those we may have harmed.

Logan Perlaky, returning juniors to lead Clay soccer

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Clay’s boys’ soccer team had one major problem last season en route to finishing with a 5-10-3 record.

“We couldn’t find the net,” said second-year coach Justin Guy, whose Eagles scored just 2.6 goals per game in 2015. “It felt like we got most of our goals in just a few games. In the games that were close, we put a few shots on the crossbar or shot it wide. We just couldn’t score.”

The good news is, despite graduating 11 seniors Clay returns most of its starting lineup. The Eagles started eight sophomores and one freshman a year ago.

“We have a lot of returning guys this year but only one senior,” Guy said, referring to senior left midfielder Logan Perlacky.

Through Wednesday, the Eagles were 0-2 following losses to Swanton (5-2) and Springfield (2-1). Junior forward Dakota Calkins scored all three goals for Clay and is coming off a season where he was named the Northwest Ohio High School Soccer League’s player of the year (Clay is not in that league this season).

“Dakota has a great shot and he can strike the ball from a distance and outjump people,” Guy said. “He’s quick and he provides a lot of pressure up top. He gives a good effort and is a good leader. He’s a spark behind the team. If he has a good game, we’re going to do all right.”

Guy said the Eagles are concentrating on replacing the three seniors who played on the team’s back line last season.

“Right now we are definitely trying to work on defense,” Guy said. “We’re trying to replace some of those guys and get other guys acclimated. They’re still learning early on. We’re of the understanding that if we

progress during the season, we can go into the sectionals and upset somebody there.”

The Eagles will also look for offense from Perlacky, juniors Erek Hansen and Zach Groll, sophomore Brody Leichty, and freshman Dieon Vartorella.

“Erek knows the game really well,” Guy said. “He plays all year long and creates lots of scenarios for Dakota. He takes our free kicks and our corners. He has great vision and is a playmaker. He is always a reliable guy to keep his head in the game.

“Logan can stroke the ball pretty well with both feet. When he gets on target, it usually fools the goalie. He’s good at finding the far post. He’s our captain and got the most votes out of anyone. When you ask for a captain and a leader, that’s who you envision.”

Guy added that Groll, Leichty and Vartorella will have to open up the field and create runs for themselves in order to find the back of the net.

“We are trying to work the ball wide and get the ball to our quick guys on the outside,” Guy said, adding that he likes the toughness of junior keeper Thomas Cluckey, a three-year starter.

“I’ve never seen a kid who has had so many bumps and bruises and be able to shake them off during a game,” Guy said.

“He got wrecked in about three or four different games where he’s had to come off the field, and he begged me to go back on the field. He knows the game and directs on the field. He has a big leg, too.”

Guy said the Three Rivers Athletic Conference should be as strong as ever this season. Clay finished second to last in the TRAC a year ago, while Findlay is the defending champion.

“We’re looking to place in the top four,” Guy said. “It’s a very competitive league, not only in northwest Ohio but in the state.”

Unfortunately, the WiFi does not reach his kennel but adoptable Ernie would LOVE to find a family that has the same appreciation for being an occasional couch potato. When he's out for a walk, he takes his good ole time and stops to smell the roses.
