Cardinals-Bears Game of the Week See Sports M

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A proposal to build a new elementary school in the Eastwood School District drew fervent support and opposition from residents Thursday during a town hall forum. A spokesman for the Committee to Save our Elementaries said the group will consider legal action to have the matter placed before voters. “The recent decision by the board has frustrated the intent of the voters regarding the central campus and denies them the ability to exercise their fundamental right to vote on the issue,” said Roger Mullholand. “The committee intends to pursue all legal remedies available to them in order to bring the issue back before the voters.” Others, however, said the new school is needed and students aren’t being well served by the aging Pemberville and Luckey elementary schools. The school board is proposing to construct a building for kindergarten through the fifth grade at the central campus, using $7 million from the Ohio School Facilities Commission and $12.5 in local revenues to finance the project. Brent Welker, district superintendent, presented figures showing the district wouldn’t need to ask voters for additional revenues but instead would rely on tax abatement funds from a Home Depot facility and public utility taxes from a Troy Energy plant. Even with a conservative valuation appraisal for the Troy Energy facility factored into the district’s budget forecast, the two revenue streams would provide at least $1.275 million annually, Welker explained. The general fund, which has had a carry-over balance, would be tapped for $1.5 million to be used as a down payment and the district would borrow the rest at an expected interest rate of 2.6 to 2.7 percent, he said. “No new tax monies are needed to do Continued on page 2

Monarch mania

A butterfly festival held at Maumee Bay State Park gave visitors an opportunity to see the monarch butterly develop through its life cycle. The event included a tagging and release of butterflies, and crafts for kids. According to Monarch Watch, the monarch population in the U.S. has declined due to the loss of habitat from development, intensive agriculture, and herbicides affecting the monrach’s food source.

Drinking water

Bill first step to U.S. standard By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com A bipartisan bill that would be an interim measure towards setting a federal drinking water safety standard was introduced in Congress last week by Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur and Ohio’s two senators, Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown. The bill, the Safe and Secure Drinking Water Act, directs the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish a health advisory on microcystin and to submit reports on what level of the toxin in drinking water is safe for human consumption, according to a press release issued by Kaptur’s office. The acceptable level of microcystin in drinking water is 1 part per billion, according to the World Health Organization, but there are no state or federal standards. The issue has been heightened since microcystin, produced by blue green algal blooms in Lake Erie, was detected at 3 parts per billion in a sample taken at Toledo’s water treatment plant on Aug. 2 that prompted an advisory against drinking tap water for

three days. High levels of microcystin can cause abnormal liver function in humans and animals and can be lethal. The algae is believed to be fed mainly by phosphorus from agricultural runoff Since the ban was lifted, there have been calls for federal standards of safe levels of microcystin in the drinking water. “Our legislation would fill a gap in the EPA’s response to date on toxic algae,” Kaptur said in a prepared statement. “The water emergency in Toledo highlighted the need for a more robust federal response, and our local communities still very much need recommendations on consumption, treatment and testing.” Portman agreed. “After the Toledo water crisis, it’s critical that all levels of government work together to determine if our drinking water is safe for human consumption,” Portman stated in a press release. “As we continue to work to ensure that Ohioans have access to safe and clean drinking water, this legislation is an important step toward knowing what is safe and what is not.” Brown said consumers and businesses “deserve a safe and reliable water supply.”

“Our bill will ensure that the United States sets a standard for safe drinking water,” he said in a prepared statement. Former Oregon Councilwoman Sandy Bihn urged city officials last month to support the need for federal standards for acceptable levels of microcystin in the water. Bihn, who is also Western Lake Erie Waterkeeper, has been sounding the alarm on the dangers of increased algae in Lake Erie for years. Although Oregon has its own water treatment plant and was not affected by the ban, the water source for Toledo’s and Oregon’s water treatment plants is drawn from Lake Erie’s Western Basin, which has been plagued by large blue green algal blooms for years. The raw water intake for each community is just a mile apart. Bihn told The Press last week that the bill is a step in the right direction. “I support it. This is what we’ve been asking for. There’s a lot of confusion about microcystin, and at what levels it should or shouldn’t be. That will take a while to flesh out. It’s not easy. But I support the bill,” she said. Continued on page 2

Oak Harbor residents to get newsletter By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press A community newsletter is coming soon to help keep residents better informed on what’s happening in the Village of Oak Harbor. Village Administrator Randy Genzman told council that the village will be putting out a newsletter in coming weeks. Details, such as length, format and when and where the newsletter will be distributed, are being tweaked now, Genzman told council. He anticipates putting out the newsletter at the library and a number of downtown businesses. Village officials hope the newsletter will help alleviate resident complaints that they aren’t being kept in the loop about village business and projects. Sewer system update The village continues its daunting task to fix the major sewer system woes. Resident Ron Krieger asked what specifically is the village doing to stop the flooding of streets and homes. “I think three-fourths of the people are interested in the sewer and flooding. It would be nice to let people know,” he said. As of mid-summer, all of the combined sewer overflow valves approved for opening by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency in early spring had been put in operation. That means in times of heavy downpours the sewer overflow will divert from the system and flow into the Portage River. “We just haven’t seen that result of that

because we haven’t had any rain to speak of,” Councilman Jon Fickert said at the Sept. 2 meeting. Days later, on Sept. 5, a line of heavy thunderstorms pounded the area. Village officials were not available to discuss how the system handled its first major deluge in the wake of the openings. The overflows are a temporary measure allowed until Oak Harbor leaders come up with a plan to fix the sewer system, including its overflow pond which has been hit with problems over the past two years. The state will allow those overflows to stay open about 18 to 24 months while Oak Harbor moves forward with its permanent fix plans, Genzman explained. One of the major projects in the works includes a 54- to 60-inch overflow at the basin itself and the EPA has approved that, he continued. The other project involves a sewer separation program, specifically Church Street construction, from the railroad tracks to the alley at Locust and Church streets. “That will involve multiple entities, multiple services and will be similar to the Locust Street construction,” Genzman said. A cost estimated isn’t complete but all agree the price tag will likely be a costly one for such a large project. Soaring salt prices Council members asked about salt prices for the upcoming winter. Last year costs skyrocketed as historic storms swept across the nation, crippling many communities for days. Fear of another

bad winter has kept prices on the rise again. “The estimates are coming in around $100 more a ton more than we paid last year,” Genzman said. Typically, the village uses around 300 tons a year to spread along its streets. Time limit for election signs Council forwarded the election sign issue to the planning commission for review. The village is considering limiting the length of time political signs can be placed in yards prior to an election. The time length tossed around is 60 days. Councilman Don Douglas asked Genzman and Police Chief Steve Weirich if they anticipated trouble enforcing such an ordinance. “My concern is: How do you limit someone’s free speech?” Genzman replied. The village already has an ordinance regarding temporary signs, which includes no sign posting in the boulevards. This legislation would be an amendment to that ordinance. Resident Dennis Schiets noted a recent article in an area newspaper described the political sign restrictions put in place in a number of local communities, including Port Clinton. This is the only reasonable solution to control the abundant amount of signs popping up as early as May for elections held in November, members contend. “We can’t legislate the candidates,” Mayor Bill Eberle said. And really, he added, “It should be a board of elections issue.”

this,” Welker said, adding the debt could be paid off in 10 years. A Pemberville teacher said having elementary students under one roof would enhance the ability of teachers to collaborate. She spoke of Internet service that is frequently interrupted and instructional time lost due to students needing to be shuttled. Matt Harper, a parent of Eastwood students, urged the board to proceed. The old buildings don’t accommodate disabled students well and are difficult to retro-fit for today’s modern technology. Noting the Eastwood district wouldn’t need additional taxes for construction costs, “Other communities would kill for that opportunity,” he said. Others, however, said the loss of schools in Pemberville and Luckey would contribute to a “loss of community” and said busing young students to the campus could bring other safety problems. Eric Campbell, a member of Pemberville Village Council, said he was concerned the board was lax in compiling a long-range plan for the middle school and high school buildings and Denny Henline, a Pemberville business owner, spoke passionately about maintenance problems other districts have had with new buildings funded by the OSFC. He also pointed to several problems at the high school and middle schools that also need to be addressed. Mullholand stressed that two previous levies to fund a new school have been defeated by voters. In response to residents saying the matter should be decided by a vote, Welker said a ballot issue would have to include a request for millage – in the area of about 3 mills – and he feared it would confuse voters. The school board scheduled a special meeting Sept. 12 at 7 a.m. to consider a resolution to withdraw a bond issue from the November ballot. The board voted in June to place the issue on the ballot but later learned it could use the Troy Energy and Home Depot revenues for its share of the project. With both of those revenue streams available, a separate bond issue won’t be needed.

Safewater Continued from front page Oregon Mayor Mike Seferian told The Press on Wednesday that the city has been working with the EPA to come up with a safe standard for microcystin in the drinking water. “It’s something we take seriously. It was something they knew was a bad system,” said Seferian. “They knew some changes had to be made. We are trying to work with them instead of challenging them that the system they have isn’t the best it could be. They are willing to improve what they have. I don’t want to try and get them defensive now when we’ve been working with them to try and come up with a suitable standard.”

Oregon strip mall change won’t come off By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon council on Monday accepted a request to withdraw an application for a Special Use Exemption (SUE) for a parcel at the northeast corner of Navarre Avenue and Wynn Road for the development of a small strip mall that included a gas station. The Planning Commission, which met recently, denied the request for the SUE. The applicants were Yazeed Qaimari and Naqid Hasan, for owner American Title Agency, Inc. A public hearing for the SUE request was scheduled for September 22. It has been cancelled due to the withdrawal by the applicants. The parcel, at 5011 Navarre Avenue, is in a C-5 zoning district. An SUE is required for a gas station in a C-5 zoning district. “The applicants came before the Planning Commission a couple of weeks ago,” said Mayor Mike Seferian, who sits on the Commission. “Last week, [Administrator] Mike Beazley and I had an opportunity to talk to those applicants because they wanted to discuss where they could go from there, and the likelihood of the SUE.” He said they understood that it was “very unlikely” council would approve the SUE after it was denied by the Planning Commission. “We talked a little bit about the property and how they may proceed and recommended to them that the most advantageous thing for them would be to withdraw their application at this time,” he said. “They’re still considering developing

the parcel,” added Seferian. “But right now, there’s nothing certain. We understood that. They did say they haven’t closed the door on it. They look forward to a possible development…but nothing concrete.” System worked The city could not stop any other commercial development on that parcel that meets the criteria of a C-5 zoning district, said Seferian. “They would need no additional permits other than building permits,” said Seferian. “Anything that C-5 zoning allows would be permitted in that parcel as it currently sits. We’ll have to wait to see what type of interest they have and how they want to pursue possibilities there. Right now, I think it was pretty clear that they were keeping the idea open that they may come up with some type of developable retail. Right now, they don’t have a plan.” “Whatever they do,” said Beazley, “they will come in and talk to us first.” Despite the denial, the applicants “still have good feelings about the city and the neighborhood and all of us here,” said Seferian. Linda Wise, of Pickle Road, told council there is already too much traffic at that intersection. “I cross that intersection of Wynn and Navarre a minimum of five times a day,” said Wise. “You have no idea how many semis are running that red light constantly, especially going east. I just think it’s a poor choice of where to put a gas station.” Seferian said audience participation of the Planning Commission helped doom the SUE.

“The people’s voice was heard. And the SUE was denied,” he said. “Our system worked. That’s why the applicants withdrew.” Right to develop Bob Johnson, of Parkside Drive, agreed with Wise. He asked if the city could have any input in a project at that site if it met the C-5 criteria. “Is there some consideration of whether a convenience store is appropriate for that corner versus an upscale restaurant? Is there any consideration in regard to what goes in there.?” asked Johnson. “In all reality, no,” said Seferian, “because they have that right. Whoever would purchase that [parcel] would have whatever our zoning code permits in C-5 without any further discussion by anyone in the city.” “But C-5 sounds like a broad scope there,” said Johnson. “The only thing we don’t want to see is something like a convenience store thrown into that corner. What about traffic patterns? It’s already a very complex corner.” “It doesn’t matter,” said Seferian. “We couldn’t stop it.” “So it wouldn’t go back to the Planning Commission?” asked Johnson. “It would just go to the public service director to approve the site plan,” said Seferian. “We are bound by the Ohio Revised Code.” “We know it’s going to be developed,” said Johnson, “but we’d like to see it developed with the right thing – good for the whole community, not just good for a couple of people.”

Email message false An anonymous email message sent last week to administrators at Genoa High School purporting to alert them about an attempted prescription drug sale between two students wasn’t accurate, according to Dennis Mock, district superintendent. The email, which was also sent to The Press and other media outlets, claimed a senior at the high school tried to sell the prescription drug Adderall to another student, who declined to purchase it but informed the person who sent the emails. The anonymous email names a student at the high school as the seller. A photo of someone from the shoulders down, wearing Genoa Comet shorts and gray t-shirt, holding a paper cup and a small packet, was attached to the email. Mock said Cari Buehler, high school principal, talked with the students and determined there was no attempted sale or Adderall involved. A student on a recent field trip was given a dose of cold medicine by his mother to take on the trip, Mock said, adding the mother confirmed that with Buehler. Adderall (amphetamine and dextroamphetamine) is used to treat narcolepsy and ADHD, according to the website drugs.com.

Walbridge

Will zoning change spur development? By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The owner of property along the southern corporation limits of the Village of Walbridge is hoping a zoning change might spark some development interest in the 89acre parcel. Village council earlier this month heard the first reading of an ordinance to approve a request of Cecil Adkins to rezone the property from R1-4 (residential) to M-2 (general industrial). The parcel is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of Ayers and Drouillard roads. Adkins last week said the property was annexed to the village about eight years ago and its proximity to the Toledo Executive Airport makes it well suited for business development. “I’ve had it for sale for a long time,” he said. “It was a nice project when we platted it out. We figured a business owner could

have his plane right next to his business. There is also a rail siding nearby.” The village planning commission has recommended the parcel be rezoned. A second reading of the ordinance is scheduled for council’s Sept. 17 meeting. Adkins said he intended to have the zoning changed when he had the property annexed from Lake Township to the village but neglected to do so when the paperwork was filed. He said he’s also open to ideas about aligning the property with a Joint Economic Development District the township formed in 2009 with the City of Toledo, which owns the airport property where the JEDD is situated – approximately 424 acres bounded by Ayers, Drouillard, Moline-Martin and Lemoyne roads. The Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority leases the airport property from the city. Under the JEDD agreement, which is in effect for 30 years, the city and township will share income tax revenues from jobs created at the district – the township re-

ceiving 60 percent and the city 40 percent. The income tax rate will be 2.25 percent. To date, no businesses have located in the JEDD but Melanie Bowen, a township trustee, said she intends to try to rejuvenate interest in it. “I think we’ve kind of let it languish but it’s not something I want to give up,” she said last week. Land in the JEDD is zoned M-1 light industrial. Village council this week will also hear the second reading of an ordinance requesting a zoning change for property on Union Street – the site of the former Walbridge Elementary School. The property owner is requesting the zoning be changed from R1-4 to C-3 commercial but the planning commission has recommended the change be denied. According to the Wood County auditor’s website, the Lake school board sold the building and parcel to James and Christian Kolasinski for $31,900 in November 2012.

Group challenges proposed EPA rule changes By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Are rule changes proposed by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency placing the state’s streams and waterways in peril? The Ohio Environmental Council took the agency to task in recent testimony for what the OEC sees as an abandonment of oversight responsibilities over oil and gas pipelines and coal mining operations. Nathan Johnson, an attorney for the OEC, accused the agency of favoring coal and fracking interests and applying a “rubber stamp process” intended only for very small projects and improperly applying it to large-scale interstate pipelines and coal mining operations. Citing an OEPA email from February 2014, Johnson testified the coal industry’s “apparent influence over the drafting of the proposed modifications” is evident. The email states the changes proposed by the OEPA “mirror” those discussed by the OEPA and the Ohio Coal Association, Johnson testified. One proposal “allows Ohio EPA to exempt projects from individual review requirements when they would not otherwise fall under nationwide permit eligibility. The OEC was opposed to this language when it first appeared in 2012. However, it is now even worse when coupled with Ohio EPA’s severe rollback of individual review requirements in Nationwide Water Permits sections 12 and 49,” Johnson testified. “This provision gives far too much discretion to Ohio EPA and undermines the purposes of the Clean Water Act.” Calling the provision a loophole, he said it should be eliminated. He said the EPA’s proposed changes will also eliminate the public’s ability to review and comment on individual coal mining and shale pipeline projects that could harm streams and wetlands throughout the state. According to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers policy, Nationwide Permits are intended for “minor” projects. “By eliminating so many individual review thresholds from sections 12 and 49, Ohio EPA is unreasonably opening the floodgates to large and major projects that have no business receiving the reduced scrutiny associated with general permits,” Johnson said. The EPA accepted comment from the public on the proposed changes until Sept. 11. Heidi Griesmer, a spokesperson for the EPA, said the agency will respond to all comments in writing.

In the Bible, St. James tells us that if anyone can control their tongue, it proves that they have perfect control over themselves in every other way. He also tells us that sometimes our tongue praises our Heavenly Father, and sometimes it breaks out into curses against men who are made like God. Holding our tongue is not always an easy thing to do; however, we should try not to speak badly or spread rumors about others. Gossiping and spreading lies are not good and often can prove quite harmful and

hurtful. When we know of someone who is constantly speaking badly of others, we must realize that they are probably also rumoring about us when we are not around. There is nothing that reflects a person's character more than what they say and the way they speak about others. A good person is kind and truthful, and they can be trusted not to speak of the faults of others. God wants us to live in harmony with our friends and loved ones, and holding our tongue will help us to develop a Godly relationship. My brethren, this ought not to be so. R.S.V. James 3:10

Toledo’s first child

Frederick Prentice: man of money and mystery By Lou Hebert Press Contributing Writer

Frederick A. Prentice

“

The Prentice name is also familiar to an army of latter-day treasure hunters who continue to fuel a stubborn myth...

erty that he had already purchased years before in Northern Wisconsin, along Lake Superior. Soon, the Prentice Brownstone Quarry Company was shipping hundreds of thousands of tons of brownstone blocks to projects in New York City, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. The brownstone was also used in Chicago, a city still rebuilding after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The colorful stone is still visible today on some landmark buildings, including the Palmer House Hotel and many of the historic apartment buildings along the so-called Gold Coast. One of the quarries that Prentice took this stone from was on Hermit Island in Lake Superior, part of what is now called the Apostle Islands. Prentice loved the small rugged island and wanted to live there with his new bride from New York. So, the romantic and often flamboyant Prentice built a mansion on Hermit Island. A giant three-story, lake-front home that featured Romeo and Juliet balconies, four fireplaces carved of brownstone and an observation deck. The home was clad with a rustic looking cedar bark shingle. Thus he called his island mansion, the Cedar Bark Cottage and in 1891, he proudly escorted his young wife, Lydia Amanda, to Hermit Island to see her new home. Exactly what was said and what happened is unknowable at this point, but it’s reported that when the young Manhattan-bred lady saw the rustic cedar bark exterior, she turned, and walked away and never returned. His hopes now crushed, the proud home sat empty and abandoned. Prentice’s notions of lakefront bliss were dashed, and within a few years another blow was delivered when the stock market panic of 1893 put the brakes on the economy and the market for brownstone crashed. The big quarries were idled and the big blocks of brown sandstone still remain, to this day, numbered and waiting for the ships that never came to take them away. Another dream of Prentice’s was also toppled with the quaking economy. Prentice had planned to promote his company at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago with a towering 115-foot monolith made of a single block of brownstone from his quarries. It would be an obelisk ten feet at the base, tapering to four feet at the top and would eclipse the famous Egyptian obelisk by ten feet. It was cut and ready to be delivered, but when the economy stumbled, Prentice could no longer afford the extravagance of shipping it to Chicago and the big idea collapsed. The four hundred ton stone was cut up and used for other projects. Soon after, the future also seemed to collapse for the Toledo millionaire. As years went by, the quarry operations went bankrupt, Cedar Bark Cottage was torn down and the once-busy roads on the Island were reclaimed by the trees and little remains of his footprint on that island. However, what does remain is the legend of Toledo’s first child. For in nearby Washburn, Wisconsin, local town folks built their own miniature version (1/4 scale) of Prentice’s brownstone obelisk, in his honor. They even call Washburn, the “Monolith City” and the 27-foot tower still stands. Prentice is also remembered in Ashland, Wisconsin where Prentice Park

Prentice's Cedar Bank Cottage is called the “Park of a Hundred Springs”. Prentice purchased this land from the Chippewa Indians in 1887. It is filled with scores of natural flowing artesian wells and the park was officially turned over to the city of Ashland in 1921. The Prentice name is also familiar to an army of latter-day treasure hunters who continue to fuel a stubborn myth that Prentice lived as a “hermit” on the Hermit Island many years later and buried his fortune, in cash, near the Cedar Bark Lodge. As a result, it’s not hard to find references to Toledo’s Prentice on several fortune hunter websites as romantic dreamers peddle this shaky tale, luring folks with shovels and metal detectors to the island every year, in search of the Prentice fortune. The fact is that Prentice lost the quarries and Hermit Island to foreclosure auction during bankruptcy before 1900. What helps to fuel this stubborn myth is the lack of knowledge about Frederick Prentice’s final years. For all practical purposes, after the big quarries shut down, he seems to have slipped back into relative obscurity. It appears that he returned to New York City, but little is written about this figure who was no stranger to the press and who relished in the art of living large. What we do know is that Frederick Prentice died in April of 1913, at the age of 92. Where he died and whether he still had his wealth remains murky at best. A newspaper ac-

It is the story of a man who is probably worthy of more than a mere footnote in Toledo's history and a small park in East Toledo.

Oregon Municipal Court

“

If you’re from the East Side, you’ve probably seen a little city park known as Prentice Park, Toledo’s oldest city park. It’s just a small triangle of grass, a block off Woodville Road, bounded by Elmore, Leonard and Prentice streets. The park is named in honor of Frederick Prentice, the first white child born in what would become the city of Toledo. This early Toledo pioneer would grow up to become one of the city’s first millionaires, a fascinating figure of our history whose long resume includes experiences as a lumberman, nurseryman, oilman, land speculator, mine operator, and at one time, Indian interpreter. Over the course of his nine decades of life, he married four times, had four children, and left a legacy still in existence today on many streets of America. If that’s not enough, Prentice also occupies center stage in a lost treasure legend on Lake Superior. The amazing story of Frederick Prentice begins in 1822. He was born in the first wood frame house in an area of what then was called Port Lawrence, at a location not far from today’s Monroe and Summit Streets. The Prentice family lived near the banks of the Maumee and Swan Creek when the area was still a wilderness and populated by Indians. Young Prentice, as a boy, learned their language and became fluent in its use, enough so, that he was used as an interpreter for traders and Indian agents. In fact, it was Prentice who gave Swan Creek its name, claiming that’s what the Indians called the creek because swans would have come there to nest. By the time he was 13, his father, Joseph Prentice, had moved the family to the east side of the Maumee River. When he became disabled, Frederick was forced to provide for his mother and other siblings. He adapted quickly. He hunted and fished, and within a few years, he started buying and selling land for those heading west. In 1838, he started his own saw mill along the banks of the Maumee River. It was a popular enterprise that met the growing demand for lumber for ship building. Business was good for the young man who, without any formal education, quickly reached for other opportunities and expanded his business ventures. He farmed and also started a tree nursery in East Toledo. At the same time, he started buying more land as the speculation frenzy continued. Not just in Toledo, but as far away as the Northern woods of Wisconsin and the Minnesota territory where he and other investors set up logging operations and platted several towns along Lake Superior. The land was cheap and he figured it might be worth much more in the future. He was right. Frederick A. Prentice was the true definition of an entrepreneur. Smart, clever and shrewd. Quick to answer the knock of opportunity, his enterprising spirit did not go unrewarded. He became prosperous and wealthy while still a young man. His success earned the respect of others in Toledo, which in the mid-1800’s had become a city of great promise on the Great Lakes. And, despite a financial setback by the “Panic of 1857”, Prentice was able to recover within a few years and renewed his quest for fortune. In doing so, he recognized the need for oil and bought holdings in the burgeoning petroleum industry in Pennsylvania. The investments were lucrative and by the 1870’s he was living and working in New York City while still maintaining a house on North Summit Street in Toledo. At the same time, he looked to the north for future projects. One of those opportunities was in sandstone excavation to meet the need for building blocks for America’s growing cities. He put together an investment partnership in some brownstone quarry prop-

Court Log

count from the Toledo News Bee says he died on his “estate” on the Hudson River. But, a Prentice family website says he died in Jackson, Michigan. In the 1910 Census for New York, the entry shows him living as a “boarder” with his wife Lydia in upper Manhattan. She was his fourth wife and died in 1912. But neither she nor his third wife, Mary, are buried with him at Willow Cemetery in Oregon in the Prentice family plot that includes his parents, his daughter, Mary, and his first two wives. I also question whether Prentice himself is actually buried at Willow. I found only a small, time-worn grave marker for Frederick A Prentice, but it doesn’t indicate a year of death, or whether it is Prentice or his son, also Frederick A. Prentice, who died in 1885. The truth of who is really buried there may be as faded as the letters on the stone. We may never know. What we do know, however, is that the story of Frederick Prentice is one that is rich, colorful and mysterious. It is the story of a man who is probably worthy of more than a mere footnote in Toledo’s history and a small park in East Toledo. Lou Hebert has more on this story as well as other local history stories on his website www.toledogazette.wordpress.com.

Bids approved for complex walkway, sidewalks By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council on Monday accepted bids to install a walkway for the South Recreation Complex and to replace and repair sidewalks and curbs in parts of the city. Council accepted the $53,439 bid of Smith Paving & Excavating, Norwalk, Ohio, for the South Recreation Complex walkway, and a $121,605 bid from Quinn Concrete Construction for sidewalk and curb replacement. Both companies submitted the lowest bids. Bihn Construction Service, Oregon, submitted bids that were higher for both projects - $122,380 for the walkway, and $59,790.02 for the sidewalk and curb replacement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the bidders met our best bid criteria, and have bid on a lot of concrete work

in past years,â&#x20AC;? said Public Service Director Paul Roman. The sidewalk and curb replacement are part of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 annual sidewalk program. The area selected for the program is bounded by Starr Avenue, Coy Road, Wheeling Street, and Navarre Avenue. The Department of Public Service inspected sidewalks in the selected area for deficiencies based on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspection criteria, according to the department. Sidewalk sections meeting any of the criteria were initially marked with a white letter â&#x20AC;&#x153;Xâ&#x20AC;? denoting the deficiency and were the responsibility of the property owner to replace or repair. Sidewalk sections marked with a white â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oâ&#x20AC;? are to be replaced at the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expense. Property owners were notified by certified mail of their deficient sidewalks and were given 45 days to make corrections on their own. Sept. 14 is the last day for residents to make sidewalk repairs.

Sidewalks not repaired or replaced by the property owner will be marked with either a pink â&#x20AC;&#x153;Xâ&#x20AC;? or pink â&#x20AC;&#x153;O.â&#x20AC;? The property owners will be assessed next January based on the dimensions of the actual work completed and other costs associated with the project. The city expects to start work on Nov. 14. The South Recreation Complex walkway consists of the construction of a 12foot wide concrete walkway to serve the complex. The work includes excavation, embankment, aggregate base, and seeding. The city last year constructed a $499,800 restroom-shelter-concession facility to serve the South Recreation Complex. The new facility is located in the middle of the soccer fields south of Wolf Creek, on the north side of Starr Extension. There already are restrooms and a concession stand where the ball diamonds are located at the sports complex. The site work last year in-

cluded the installation of a waterline, including two fire hydrants, sanitary sewer force main, storm sewer, and stone access path to the building. There is no sanitary sewer on Starr Extension, so a line had to go under Wolf Creek to connect to the Seaman Road sanitary sewer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the new building and parking lot thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there, [the walkway] will certainly complement this facility,â&#x20AC;? said Roman, adding that the walkway will be completed in the next month. Councilman Joshua Hughes said he was pleased that the walkway would be completed this year during soccer season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m actually thrilled this is finally going in. I know most of our citizens are as well. We have the nice restroom facilities out there now. The irrigation system is in. The grass next year, I think, is really going to be top notch. This year, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already markedly improved. Next year and in subsequent years, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be fantastic.â&#x20AC;?

Champion for animals To the editor: Joan Rivers had a barbed tongue, but she also had a soft spot for animals. She went everywhere with her dog, Spike, whom she credited with saving her from committing suicide after her husband’s death. And despite her penchant for fur, she always appreciated People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ (PETA) efforts. She invited me on her show for a lively debate on the topic in 1989. In the `90s, Joan enthusiastically helped launch her daughter Melissa’s “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” ad for PETA. Joan helped PETA lobby the New York City Council to pass a bill against chaining dogs and another promoting spaying and neutering. “I hope this tethering bill passes, not just for the sake of the poor dogs tied up outside in the cold, but for the sake of the sons of b*****s who do this – because what I’d do to the creeps would be far worse than what any police officer would do!” she wrote. Both bills passed. Just last month, only a few weeks before she went into the hospital, I met with Joan again. She told me she hadn’t bought any new furs since Melissa’s PETA campaign and intended to bequeath her furs to PETA, to be given away to the homeless and used in protests. Joan’s legacy will live on in many meaningful ways. Dan Mathews Senior Vice President, PETA Norfolk, Virginia

Efforts appreciated To the editor: Glenn “Cruisin’ Zeake” Chandler, aided by help of his Cruiserettes and Cruiser-buddies, with the support from many car enthusiasts throughout the area, has raised more than $10,000 for Hospice of Northwest Ohio. The funds were raised at many car shows and cruise-ins. A big thank-you goes to Zeake. David Newman Oregon

Is your search for meaning on the right path? At one time or another most of us search for meaning in what we are doing. This quest becomes more prevalent with age. The search can range from your occupation to your entire life. When you are young, time seems as if it is infinite. Everything is new and challenging. There are so many experiences to be had. There is little thought given to the big picture. As time goes by, the realization of time’s finite nature sets in. Once you leave school, routines take hold. For those who start a family, the job of raising children takes up most of their free time while providing meaning to their life. This process is in effect another education, giving a second go around of challenges. For those who don’t have kids, and for the others whose children are grown, questions start to persist. “Why am I doing what I am doing?” “What is the purpose?” “What is the meaning of my life?” These are just some of the questions that may be lurking in the back of your mind on a recurring basis. The passage of time brings changes. Your goals might need to be adjusted. What’s important to you, and what’s not, also changes. This is a normal process driven by time and experience. So how do you search for and ideally find meaning? First of all don’t get caught in the trap of lamenting the past. This includes things you wish you had done along with those things you wish you hadn’t. Your only direction is forward. Always keep in mind that you will never be as young as you are today. Next, recognize and give yourself credit for the things you have accomplished. Every accomplishment, regardless of how

Assumption of guilt is pervasive, and dangerous Guest Editorial By Dave Lange

I do not disagree with the well-respected national columnists who, from time to time, considerately reflect on the peculiar tribulations of growing up black and male in this country. One of those particularly troubling times is now, in the wake of a violent police encounter that resulted in the death of an unarmed 18-year-old black man in Ferguson, Mo. Some years before I became an inkstained newspaperman, I spent my childhood and teen years in an inner-ring Northeast Ohio suburb of some 50,000 mostly blue-collar citizens. Unlike the national columnists who know all about growing up black, I know virtually nothing about that. To the best of my knowledge, there were no black people living in my hometown. My parents and those of the white guys I grew up with didn’t teach us many useful lessons about the way we should act if we encountered the police -- such as don’t run, don’t suddenly reach for something in your pocket, don’t argue with them or curse at them and absolutely do not engage in any physical altercation, even defensively. Mostly, we figured that stuff out for ourselves, which was a good thing, because there were times when I and my white friends had occasion to practice that common sense. Some of the columns I’ve read in recent weeks recall how the writers had been stopped several times or more for no reason other than the color of their skin. I believe that’s true and know that various scientific

studies have shown a distinct correlation between race and police activity. Anyway, during my teen years and early 20s, I had more than a dozen police encounters, most of them less than friendly and with tenuous justification. Many of my pals could cite similar numbers. I know it wasn’t about our race, but we were young males. I didn’t teach my sons about common-sense behavior around police either, assuming they’d figure it out for themselves, which they also had occasion to

do. But I did teach them about their Fourth Amendment right to be secure “against unreasonable searches and seizures” and about the fundamental right in civilized countries like ours to be presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. Unfortunately, many of our law-enforcement agencies do not support those rights, and our schools too often teach the opposite of them. One of my sons learned that exercising his constitutional right not to grant police permission to search his vehicle resulted in an unwarranted 45-minute apprehension on Interstate 71 while waiting for a drugsniffing dog to arrive. My son learned that local police sometimes lie about evidence and that he had to prove his own innocence beyond a shadow of a doubt before they would cease and desist with their harassment. Area schools routinely conduct drug searches that suggest all students are guilty, even though they seldom find anything of substance. Some schools are forcing students to submit to urine or hair-follicle testing for drugs, while absurdly claiming it’s not an assumption of guilt. Of course, it is. Young people, especially black males, do need to be careful about dealing with police, because, if they don’t, it could cost them their lives. People of all colors should be acutely aware of dealing with the police state, because it could be the death of their free country.

He said at the time, “I promised myself I’d take care of my son no matter what….I want my son more than anything in the world. I want to see him, talk to him, watch him walk and push him in a stroller. All the things normal parents do. I’ve been neglected of that. I can’t quit. I wouldn’t be able to sleep. I couldn’t handle my conscience knowing I gave up on my son.” When Matt Linnebur read these stories, shortly after his 18th birthday, he reached out to his father on Facebook. He discovered the two shared the same “likes” in music—Led Zeppelin, Metallica and AC/DC. Matt played guitar and Vance the drums. This common ground helped them bridge the missing years. Progress was slow at first, Vance said, and Facebook was not how he planned to meet his son. “I told everyone that as soon as my son turned 18 I was going to contact him. But, then I changed to letting him find me. I was afraid, afraid of pressuring him.” After they became comfortable with each other in cyberspace, Vance decided this April to surprise Matt on his 20th birthday. He bought a Gibson Les Paul guitar and shipped it to Guitar World in Wichita. He asked the store manger to contact Matt, who was a frequent customer, to come to the store to pick up a package. He also arranged to be at the store with Matt’s grandmother, Claudette. When Matt arrived he was stunned to see his father for the first time. “I knew right away it was him. I was speechless.” Vance recalls the moment, “Waterworks began for both of us. He couldn’t put it into words how hard I fought for him. He knew I loved him.” Matt visited Northwest Ohio for the first time on Father’s day weekend. He spent a few hours with his dad and the rest of the weekend getting to know his birth

...I think I helped my son understand who he is. Now, he sees why he does what he does naturally.

“

As Matt Linnebur poured through boxes of adoption records in Wichita, Kansas looking for his father he soon came to a disturbing conclusion: “The official court cases made my Dad seem like a pretty bad guy.” Those documents would show the father, Vance Allred of Genoa, had an “excessive temper.” They would show he had dented his girlfriend’s car with his fist, punched holes in the doors of his parents’ home and was asked to move out because of his “destructive behavior.” Matt was about to quit his quest when he discovered two columns about his father that appeared in The Press and were included in the adoption documents. In an interview last week, Matt recalled that day two years ago: “I found some of your newspaper articles about him fighting for me. And, after I read those, the tears just came to my eyes…I couldn’t believe the things I was reading. That’s when I knew I had to find my Dad.” The back story from some 20 years ago goes like this. In the spring of 1993, Vance and Matt’s birth mother had a short-lived, rocky relationship. The mother terminated the relationship three weeks after stating she was pregnant. Court records showed she moved a number of times in the ensuing months to avoid Vance and told him she had miscarried. Vance, 22 at the time, moved on with his life until he received a notice from a Texas adoption agency stating the mother was giving up their child for adoption. Infuriated, Vance fought to stop the adoption, establish his paternity rights and raise his son. When the Texas agency denied the mother’s request due to Vance’s objection, she contacted an agency in Kansas, a state where a father’s permission to relinquish parental rights is not required for adoption. Vance hired a detective agency to find the mother and when he located her in Wichita, he hired an attorney and went to court to stop the adoption. Vance lost his case. The judge ruled that, even though the mother had “wandering ways,” Vance didn’t do enough to locate her. He was ruled unfit for not providing support during the pregnancy and, besides, a mother in the state of Kansas had no obligation to inform the father of her whereabouts. Vance was incredulous. He had attempted in Ohio, Texas and Kansas to locate the mother and provide for the child. He said at the time, “I loved her very much and she was pregnant with our child. That’s something I’ll protect. I think any man should protect the one he loves and his family. Whether my son was born or not, he was the most important thing in my life.” Vance lost again in the Kansas appeals court and the United States Supreme Court refused to hear his case. The only contact Vance had with his son was when the adoptive parents allowed him 30 minutes of visitation when Matt (named Micah at birth) was nine months old. He was allowed no further contact. Vance and his parents, Jack and Claudette Allred, spent $35,000 in attorney fees and three years attempting to establish

mother. Vance was okay with that. “I don’t hate anymore,” he said. “I helped him meet his mother and smooth out the relationship.” On Labor Day weekend, Matt returned to Genoa to meet the extended Allred family and Vance’s friends and supporters. Seventy of them. While father and son may have loud, hard rock music in common, they don’t share the same personality traits. Vance is outgoing, Matt is shy. Matt approached the Labor Day party with trepidation. “I’m not a very sociable person,” he said. “But, it went well. I could tell they had been waiting for this for a long time.” For Vance, however, it was a proud moment. He said, “I’m anti-quiet. I’m help-

ing him come out of his shell…I wanted everyone to meet my son. It felt really, really good. And, I think I helped my son understand who he is. Now, he sees why he does what he does naturally.” Matt has returned to Wichita where he lives with a couple of roommates and works as an electrician’s apprentice. He now has two new families to complement his adoptive parents, Aldon and Denise Linnebur. The Linneburs have been a loving, supportive couple to Matt and his older sister. “They spoiled me,” he said. “They gave us a great education, anything we wanted, and the opportunity for a great future.” The Linneburs were also supportive of Matt’s desire to meet his birth parents. Vance admires them for the job they did raising Matt. “They did a wonderful job. He’s very respectful. He’s a really good kid.” Who knows how Matt would have developed under Vance’s tutelage. His parental right was taken from him. A good father is more than a paycheck or a sperm donor, he wants to leave behind someone who is better than he is, someone who won’t make the same mistakes that he did, someone who will make the future better for the next generation of his family. Vance regrets not having that opportunity. He’s 41, single and works long days as a locomotive engineer for CSX. “I wanted to change his diaper, help him learn to walk. I missed all that. I wanted to help mold his personality, teach him what I know. Now, it seems like we’re good friends. That’s not negative. I know he loves his Daddy.” What does the future hold? Matt says he’s written a few songs and he has encouraged his dad to practice his drums. They may be jamming on Matt’s next visit. Comment at zoz@presspublications.com

Banjo Playing

Music has always been in the family By Alex Sobel Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com For banjo player Tommie Richardson, playing music has always been in the family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was growing up, all we had was music in the house, non-stop,â&#x20AC;? Richardson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of my biggest influences were my dad and my brother. My dad played the fiddle and my brother seemed to playing a little of everything.â&#x20AC;? Richardson grew up performing music with his father, but was never able to play with his brother due to unfortunate circumstance. Still, he says that his brother is one of his biggest influences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My brother passed away when I was 9 years old. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start playing music myself until I was about 15,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know him as far as playing music with him, I had a lot of cassette and reel-to-reel tapes of him playing.â&#x20AC;? Being around so much music made choosing an instrument and style of music daunting, and Richardson ended trying out a lot of different things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started on guitar, like a lot of people, I thought I wanted to rock, so I went through a phase. I then went from one instrument to another â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mandolin, fiddle,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then at some point I heard banjo in the background of a bluegrass record that my dad had, and for some reason, that was the one that stuck.â&#x20AC;? Richardson has stuck with the banjo, the instrument that he provides for the group he performs with, The North End String Band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do a mixture of country and bluegrass,â&#x20AC;? he said. The band performs more at festivals than at bars like many other bands, and if that means missing out on a few gigs here and there, Richardson is okay with that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really do the bar scene. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about the money, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the love of playing. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to get rich playing bluegrass.â&#x20AC;? Like his father before him, Richardson has also passed down his love for music to his own son, Bailey, who plays bass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started on mandolin, but it had too

Tommie Richardson many chords to learn, so I switched to bass because I thought it would be easier,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Turns out itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really complicated.â&#x20AC;? Baileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also benefited from his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience and enthusiasm for playing music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing with (my dad) is always more encouraging (than intimidating),â&#x20AC;? he said. Recently, father and son competed in a banjo competition in Gibsonburg, at the SCRAP Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever entered a contest like that,â&#x20AC;? Tommie Richardson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was something that I maybe always wanted to do, but never really pursued it. But I thought, I guess Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try it.â&#x20AC;? The two of them took first place at the competition, and Richardson thinks that

there are a lot of factors that made their performance stand out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A big thing that I like to hear, especially with a acoustic music, is playing as clean as possible. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about the number of notes,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the feeling behind the notes.â&#x20AC;? He also chose songs that he thought would be recognizable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to do songs that people would recognize. So one (of the pieces) was a medley of banjo songs from movies and TV,â&#x20AC;? he said. But the biggest joy came from playing with his son next to him, and trying to pass on lessons that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been taught. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to tell (my son) the things that my dad told me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, in a way, I feel like this is in honor of him.â&#x20AC;?

I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I could do thisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

â&#x20AC;&#x153;After my second daughter was born, I found I had a heart condition,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doctors told me Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d need a pacemaker or I could go the exercise route and try to strengthen my heart â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I decided I was a little too young for a pacemaker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then, about 15 years ago, I got divorced and I decided to try kickboxing classes at the Y with my sister for something to do,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really enjoying the classes, then a couple of weeks into it, the teacher quit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I could do this,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Y sent me to train with a female boxer and I completed all the certifications â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I did cycling, healthy lifestyles, weight training, etc., so I was able to teach classes.â&#x20AC;? It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long before she became passionate not only about her own health and fitness, but also about getting others excited about exercise. In 2007, she was teaching kickboxing, body sculpting and cycling classes at the Y and also conducting a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lose Bigâ&#x20AC;? program for those struggling with obesity, when a staff member asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you over 40?â&#x20AC;?

Crane fitted with transmitter A sandhill crane chick that has been receiving emergency medical care at Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nursery Center for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation is continuing to improve. The chick, brought to the center Aug. 11, was attacked by a dog and was suffering from multiple puncture wounds and spinal trauma. Now standing, walking and eating on its own, it has been moved to a secluded, 240 square foot outdoor flight enclosure where it has more room to exercise with limited human interaction, and where more natural behaviors can be encouraged. It has already been trying out its wings and â&#x20AC;&#x153;catching a little air.â&#x20AC;? On Sept. 2, a Division of Wildlife research biologist fitted the chick with a satellite transmitter which will enable the Division to monitor its movements following its eventual release. This crane chick will be one of the first chicks (which biologist refer to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;coltsâ&#x20AC;?) to be tagged. Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nursery staff is hoping that a release will be possible within the next few weeks. Sandhill cranes are an endangered species in Ohio, and were absent for about 60 years (from about 1926 until the late 1980s), mostly due to habitat loss of wetlands and over-harvesting. Numbers have been increasing slowly over the years as a result of wetland protection and wetland restoration efforts.

For Robin Steinmetz, life is all about passion. Steinmetz, who just turned 49, is crazy-busy these days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way she likes it. Steinmetz (formerly Robin Leffler), was recently married. An avid painter whose murals are featured in Coy and Jerusalem Schools, she recently submitted her first painting ever to the LeSo Gallery in East Toledo. She also works full-time as a sales rep and is a mom to two daughters and two stepdaughters. On Sept. 6, Robin had the pleasure of holding a giant pair of scissors, which she used to cut the ribbon at the opening of her new business, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life Fitness Studioâ&#x20AC;? in Oregon. It was a dream come true for the Stritch grad, who had been teaching fitness classes for almost 15 years. She wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always an avid exerciser.

being conducted by Prevention magazine. From among hundreds of entries, Robin was named as one of five finalists. She was featured in an article in the magazine, where she was lauded for her infectious attitude and motivational skills. She told the interviewer that though sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always describe herself as mom and daughter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know who I am now too. I feel strong and complete.â&#x20AC;? The contest was also featured on ABC News and Good Morning America. After a 13 year stint at the Y, Robin served as a volunteer kickboxing teacher at the International Boxing Club. The classes included men and women in their teens to mid-60s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many of whom had been with her at the Y. Earlier this year, she decided to branch out on her own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to grow my program to include more than just kickboxing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to focus on a whole fitness routine,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I looked for months, driving around to see what I could find,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really wanted to be in Oregon, since most of my people come from Toledo, Oregon, Walbridge, Genoa and Lake.â&#x20AC;? She opened her location in the Freeway Plaza, 2665 Navarre Ave., Oregon in August. The studio offers a range of classes including Cardio-Kickboxing, Turbo Kick, Yoga, PiYo (Pilates and Yoga), Body Sculpting and Dance Fusion. In addition to Robin, instructors include Katie Gamby, Jessica Markowitz, Becca Lee ,Kate Koester and Michelle Mosiniak. Though many of her students have been with her for years, beginners and â&#x20AC;&#x153;newbiesâ&#x20AC;? neednâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel intimidated, Robin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The instructors are really well trained â&#x20AC;&#x201C; classes are taught to the medium level. Instructors know who they can push to work a little harder, and how to modify the movements for those who are beginners or who have some type of injury or limitation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that people may be nervous that others may be looking at them or judging them, but this is truly a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no-judgment zone,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about individual health and fitness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be the person next to you. You have to do what you can do. Classes at Life Fitness Studio are open to anyone over age 13. The class fee is $5 to drop in to a regular class or $8 for yoga or $50 a month for unlimited classes. A complete class schedule is available online at www.lifefitnessstudio.com and on Facebook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, we just have evening classes, but we will be adding morning classes soon,â&#x20AC;? Robin said. For more information, call 419-2624616.

By J.K. DePeal Garden Writer news@presspublications.com September is a great time to enjoy your garden, as the tasks of weeding and watering are less demanding now and the milder weather seems to bring out the best in many flowers and foliage plants. Fall officially begins this month, and as

the weather grows cooler, foliage will begin to change and the colors of the berries and fruits on plants, trees and shrubs will become more prominent as the leaves and flowers die back and fall. Early frosts are possible this month, and can affect fall foliage and the time when colors peak in Ohio. The normal peak color time usually comes in mid to late October. Early frosts are normally mild in September and do not damage most annuals, which will keep right on blooming until the later hard frosts. The extreme heat of this summer may also result in frosts being later than usual and, if so, our garden season could be a somewhat extended one. With autumn just around the corner, the following reader questions bring up some garden tasks that can be done soon. Q: My lawn grass is always dry and brown and thin looking in the fall. Can I do anything to revive it? A: Some fall maintenance steps can really help your lawn recover its vim and vigor. • Raking your lawn will remove

thatch and debris, which will improve drainage. • Mow the lawn closely just before the cold weather arrives. This will stimulate root growth and new shoots, which will result in thicker grass in the spring. • If your lawn is compacted, aerate it to allow more oxygen to reach the roots. This will invigorate growth. • Apply a slow-release fertilizer. This will ensure that nutrients are available in the soil to start good, strong grass growth in the spring. • Re-seed any bare spots in your lawn. Fall is a good time to re-seed as it is the way natural grasses re-seed themselves. Q: I would like to add some shrubs to my yard that would give me good fall color. What would work for our area? A: Burning bush is a common variety that puts on a brilliant red display when the weather becomes cool. Japanese barberry (B. thunbergii) has purple-red foliage during the summer months which turns to a fiery red in the fall. The C. florida variety of dogwood be-

comes scarlet-orange when the seasons change. Smoke tree (Cotinus coggyria) also becomes a vivid red. Euonymous (E. alata) has a very compact shape and red autumn foliage. Witch hazel (H. x intermedia) has bright red fall color and the variety Hamemelis virginina sports vivid yellow color in the fall. Viburnum (V. opulus) also puts on a beautiful scarlet display when the days turn cool. All of these varieties are hardy to the climate of Northwest Ohio. September garden tips: Houseplants that have been outside for the summer need to be carefully checked for insects and treated if need be before moving them back indoors for the winter. Start herb seeds in pots now and keep the plants on sunny windowsills inside through the winter. You’ll have a fresh supply of herbs all winter to use in soups, salads etc. If you have garden questions or tips for other gardeners, email dpl3@accesstoledo. com.

Resurging Cards, Bears collide in opener ’89 Comets lead Genoa’s 11th class

By Yaneek Smith and Mark Griffin sports@presspublications.com Gibsonburg and Cardinal Stritch football programs both brought back a lot of veteran athletes this season. The Golden Bears started the season with wins over former Suburban Lakes League foes Elmwood and Lakota and the Cardinals opened with a win over its onetime City League opponent, Woodward. Now in his fifth year, Gibsonburg coach Steve Reser has built the Bears into a team that could contend for a league title after inheriting a program that was struggling. Since joining the TAAC in 2011, Gibsonburg has gone 14-16 and 12-9 in the conference after finishing its final year in the SLL with a 0-10 overall record. Now is the season when many believe the Bears will take that next step and establish itself with the likes of Northwood and Edon as one of the best teams in the league. The Bears defeated the Royals (37-30) and Raiders (49-12) behind quarterback Matt Tille’s stellar play. In the win over the Royals, Tille completed 21-of-38 passes for 300 yards and two touchdowns and ran 24 times for 133 yards and three scores. His two passing touchdowns went to Erik Jahna, who had six catches for 75 yards, and fellow receiver Marcus Tille finished with five receptions for 103 yards. The win against the Raiders saw the defense score two touchdowns, both of which came on fumble returns by defensive back Mateo Flores. Tille played well again, throwing for 231 yards and three touchdowns, one of which went to Zack Kaetzel (50 yards), another to Derek Angelone (10) and the last one to Jahna (65) as Gibsonburg jumped out to a 29-6 lead after one quarter. Stopping the passing attack will be Stritch’s primary goal when they face the Bears in Week 4. Stritch’s second-year coach Brian Wical says his defense will face multiple challenges playing against an offense like Gibsonburg’s and a player like Tille. “It’s amazing the amount of understanding Tille has with the offense,” Wical said. “He probably ad-libs better than anyone we’ll play. If (the receivers) aren’t there, he makes adjustments on the fly. He knows where everyone is supposed to be. I really gained a lot of respect for him last year when he played with a torn-up knee. We got out there and watched him play, and he was hopping on one leg and completing passes. The guys at Gibsonburg, you can tell they put a system in place five years ago and the kids have bought in. Steve has done a really nice job. “How do you take (Tille) away? Play your defense and hope he makes some mistakes. We’ve got to find ways to make Tille uncomfortable and cause a turnover or two and capitalize on that. If we don’t convert (those turnovers) into three or seven, it won’t matter.” The Cardinals, who are currently 1-1, beat Woodward (12-8) in Week 1 and fell to Fostoria (36-14) the next week. The win over the Polar Bears saw quarterback Joe Sinay score on a five-yard touchdown run with just under a minute to play as Stritch overcame an 8-0 deficit. The loss to the Redmen came as the Cardinals were outscored 30-0 after taking a 14-6 lead into the second quarter. Holding that eight-point lead, Stritch allowed Fostoria to tie the game before

the Redmen got one last possession before the half and scored on a trick play with no time remaining to go ahead 22-14 and steal the momentum. Fostoria would score two more touchdowns before the game was called after three quarters due to lightning. Reser has noticed Sinay’s abilities, and says the TAAC opener between the Bears and Cardinals could be as much about the two quarterbacks as anything else. “On film he looks pretty impressive,” Reser said. “We’ll see how good he’s gotten. We’ll see how good he is next week.” Building confidence The loss to Fostoria had Wical concerned that some players might lose confidence, but he’s pleased with their effort in practice this week. After an 0-10 finish last season, one in which the Cardinals lost four of those games by seven points or less, his players’ psyche is his biggest concern. “I think we had our best week of practice,” Wical said. “The kids seem focused (even though) they haven’t had a lot of success in general in their football careers.

concern was not getting too high after a win and not getting too low after a loss where the players might say, ‘Here we go again.’ I’ve been real pleased with the way they came out this week. Our goals of competing for a conference title aren’t out of the way. On top of that, everybody in Ohio wants to make the playoffs, and that’s not out of the way, either.” Gibsonburg has won the last three games in the series, so Stritch’s defense must play well to change that. The 4-3 alignment consists of Ricky Pratt, Lorenzo Garcia, Adam Bruckner and Bryce Ritzler on the line, Sinay, Austin Wlodarz and Seth Kebker at the linebacker spots and James Dobson, Chris Blazevich, Bobby Romstadt and Grant Curavo in the secondary. “I’ve thought the defense has always been our strong suit,” Wical said. “I’m just not sure our fundamentals were there (last year); we’ve continued to build on those fundamentals. I like how the kids have built upon the foundation that we tried to instill last year... I’ve been pleased with their focus and attention to detail.” Wical, who came to Stritch from Lima Central Catholic. At LCC, he coached with Jerry Cooper, who turned the program around. Wical is looking to take some of the lessons he learned at his alma mater and instill them within his players at Stritch. “One of the best things I learned from Jerry Cooper is that you have to show up every day and work hard if you want to win,” Wical said. “That goes for the coaches and players. If you want to win, you have to outwork your opponent. It sounds cliché, but it’s true.” “Our big goal is to create quality young people — we want to turn out great young men for our school and community."

The undefeated Genoa 1989 football team will be inducted into the 11th Class of the Genoa Athletic Hall of Fame on Sept. 19 prior to the Comets’ football game with Rossford.

Diekman will be inducted posthumously after lettering in football, basketball, and track for three years. Shessler was part of the 1972-73 basketball team that finished 21-1, including a perfect 17-0 during the regular season. He was Genoa’s MVP and a first team All-SLL selection. He was second team All-Northern Lakes League selection in 1972. St. John owned the GHS record for innings pitched in a season (86) and was the only pitcher in Ohio that year to throw a no-hitter in a tournament game. He was team MVP, first team all-district and Player of the Year, and first team All-SLL. Smith, in football, was special mention All-Ohio in 1988, finishing with over 1,000 yards rushing as a running back and Genoa team MVP. He was second team All-SLL all three years. In baseball, Smith was the GHS record holder in career triples, home runs in a game and runs in a season. He was special mention All-Ohio, first team all-district, and first team AllSLL in 1988. He was also first team all-league in 1987 and 1989. Goodman was honorable mention All-Ohio, second team All-District 7, second team All-District AP and first team All-SLL in basketball in 1990.

Lake’s veteran defensive front stresses physicality By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Lake football coach Mark Emans likes to call them “the big two,” as in Northern Buckeye Conference rivals Genoa and Eastwood. “Those two teams have run our league (Suburban Lakes League and now the NBC) for 10 years in a row,” Emans said. “We have to be more physical to beat the big two. Defensively, we have to step up.” Lake gave up just 22 points in its first two games, a 54-15 win over Fremont St. Joe and last weekend’s 50-7 win over Northwood. The Flyers have allowed 283 total yards, including 115 rushing, and seven first downs in eight quarters. If Lake wants to continue that trend the rest of this season, the physical part of the game is where the Flyers will have to shine, according to Emans. He said his team, which finished 8-3 last season and reached the state playoffs for the first time since 2001, were beaten physically in losses to Genoa, Eastwood and playoff opponent River Valley. “In the offseason we worked hard in our weight room program and talked about the physical part of football, and our kids have gotten better at that,” Emans said. “We had to get physical to get better on defense. The physical part is something our kids have gotten better at.” Emans gives a lot of the credit to his defensive coaching staff for shoring up the defense. Lake returned eight starters from a year ago. “It’s an outstanding group of coaches this year,” Emans said. “They work hand in hand together and work well together. They have done a great job with our defense.” The defensive coaches are coordinator and defensive backs coach Dave Rymers, Greg Wilker (ends), Jason Schober (backs), Josh Andrews (linebackers) and Kevin Mermin (line). Rymers, Schober and Wilker were on the previous coaching staff. “This is by far the best staff I’ve ever had, and this is my 29th year,” Emans said. “They are just good with kids. They’re knowledgeable and they know how to treat kids and motivate kids and get the best out

Seniors Jared Rettig (5), Austin Ruess (36), Andrew Abbey (53), Collin Lloyd (20) and Chris Allen, junior Nick DeLauter (21) and freshman Jacob Benson (34) have the Fremont St. Joseph quarterback surrounded. (Press photo by Heather Rettig) of kids. They get kids to perform at a high level.” The Flyers have several playmakers on a veteran defense, led by middle linebacker Jacob Rettig. The 5-foot-11, 205-pound sophomore has a team-high 18 tackles and two sacks in two games. “It starts with Jake Rettig,” Emans said, “and our two defensive ends, (seniors) Collin Lloyd and Austin Hess (10 tackles, two sacks) are outstanding. They are very unselfish players. You have to be unselfish and be assignment oriented, and they do a great job.” Junior linebacker Nick DeLauter, who has 15 tackles, complements Rettig in the middle, and the back end of the defense has more than held its own. Senior strong safety Todd Walters has 14 tackles and is joined in the secondary by senior free safety Jared Rettig and senior cornerbacks Connor Bowen and Jason

Parker, who has been playing in place of junior Adam Duncan. Duncan injured his ankle in the first quarter against St. Joe. “They all do an outstanding job in coverage,” Emans said. “We’re running more man coverage this year because our guys on the back end are pretty athletic. Parker has come in and done a great job.” Last week the Flyers held Northwood to just 129 total yards. The Rangers played without two-time first-team Toledo Area Athletic Conference tailback Dominik Bermejo, who missed the game with a back injury. Regardless, Northwood coach Ken James was still impressed with Lake’s defense. “They’re seniors on both sides of the ball, so there’s a maturation process from what they were,” James said. “They have a lot of guys who have played. They’re intelligent, so you don’t get them out of position easily. They have really good size in their

secondary. Their safeties are both 6-1, their corner is 6-1 and they all run real well. That gives them the ability to pressure you more with their front, because they have guys back there who can erase things with their speed and their height. It’s real tough to get a lot of big plays on them.” Emans said one of the Flyers’ top priorities each week is to completely shut down their opponents’ offense. “What they talk about each week is the shutout, whether it’s our first string or second string or the kids who get in on our third string,” Emans said. “St. Joe scored a couple touchdowns late in the game against our seconds and thirds. Everybody talks about Lake and our offense. I want us to be known for being tough defensively and being physical. That’s what we stress each week, and the kids have bought into that.”

The Press Box Achter, former Eagle, gets the call to the Big Leagues By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Former Oregon Jr. Eagles, Clay, and Michigan State pitcher A.J. Achter was called up by the Minnesota Twins last week. Achter has come a long way in just one year. The 6-foot-5, 205-pound Achter, a right-hander, started the 2014 season with one of his former teams, the New Britain Rock Cats of the Double A Eastern League. He went from there to Rochester of the International League, and late last week was with the Twins while they were in Cleveland. Heading into the series at Progressive Field, he had pitched one inning against the Chicago White Sox and one inning against the Los Angeles Angels, giving up five hits, two earned runs and striking out one. At Rochester, in 72 innings he was 4-4 with a 2.38 ERA, striking out 69, walking 24, allowing 19 earned runs and 44 hits. Achter, who was selected by the Twins in the 46th round of the 2010 draft out of Michigan State, left the Big Ten school after his junior season. He is the first Michigan State player to be called up since Mark Mulder in 2008. Achter told The Press since he’s been playing professionally he’s concentrating on his four best pitches — a two- and fourseam fastball, slider and change-up. He does not throw many curveballs. “I threw curves in high school and college, and it was always a pitch that was always tough for me to get a grasp on,” Achter said. “The slider has just been an easier pitch for me to control and get used to. I’m much more consistent with it than I have been in the last couple years.”

Nutter starting for Malone Genoa High School graduates Kyle and David Nutter are starting for the Malone University football team. Kyle, a sophomore transfer from Cincinnati, is at running back and David, a freshman, is a kicker on special teams. Malone’s opening football game was against Ohio Dominion in Columbus. The Dominican Panthers, who have been dominant in the conference over the last few years do not appear to be slowing down this year. Ohio Dominion beat Malone, 5914. Malone trailed 14-0 and 17-6 early in the game; however, Kyle Nutter dived over for a late second quarter touchdown and after the two-point conversion Malone only trailed by three at 17-14. That was as close as Malone got as the Panthers were a much more aggressive team in the second half. The defending conference champions

Waite-Scott broadcast live On Thursday, Oct. 23, the Waite-Scott football game at Mollenkopf Stadium will be broadcast live by Buckeye CableSystem Sports Network. The game starts at 7 p.m. In addition, the Three Rivers Athletic Conference, which Clay is a member, has signed a two-year partnership agreement with BCSN granting the sports channel exclusive broadcasting rights for a variety of games (including football, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, hockey, baseball and

softball, etc.) on Buckeye CableSystem in northern Ohio and Southeastern Michigan. TRAC commissioner Michael Richards signed the agreement, with the support of the conference’s principals and athletic directors. “The Three Rivers Athletic Conference is excited about securing the partnership with BCSN,” stated Richards. “We look forward to the additional exposure the Three Rivers Athletic Conference will receive through this agreement and we feel it will enhance the awareness of our member schools not only through it’s athletic competiveness but also by sharing their academic and fine art opportunities to the viewers.” Veronica Pinciotti, general manager of the 24-hour channel that focuses on local sports at all levels from youth and club contests through high school and profes-

sional sporting events, said, “Over the past 10 years we have been the area leader in covering all sports, both boys and girls, at all the local high schools. This new agreement gives us local exclusivity.” “With the addition last year of BCSN 2, a second channel, the door was opened for more live prime-time programming which will help fill community requests,” Pinciotti added. BCSN historically has covered about 900 games annually, “but this year, we will break the record by producing closer to 1,200 events,” she said. “We look forward to working with the TRAC to bring their excitement and competitive program to the entire community on both BCSN Channels,” Pinciotti said. Buckeye’s 130,000 customers can view BCSN on Ch 8 and HD 608 and BCSN 2 on Ch 109 and HD 609. BCSN and BCSN 2 are seen exclusively on Buckeye CableSystem.

Are Buckeyes’ championship aspirations out the door? After Ohio State lost last Saturday, 35-21, to an unranked Atlantic Coast Conference team, Virginia Tech, 35-21, it appears that national championship aspirations are already gone. It’s too bad, because over 107,000 fans watched in the newly expanded stadium which is now the second largest in the United States. The University of Michigan still boasts the nation’s largest stadium in “The Big House” in Ann Arbor. I watched the OSU-Navy game the week prior on television and listened to all the experts when they told us that the Buckeyes’ poor defensive play was a onetime occurrence because they were not familiar with Navy’s triple option play. I believed everything they said. I also believed Ohio State coach Urban Meyer when just before the spring game he said the pass defense — particularly on first down — has “drastically improved.” During fall practice, Meyer said that they recognized the problem, hired Chris Ash as co-defensive coordinator and Larry Johnson as defensive line coach to make

In My Opinion by Harold Hamilton changes. It hasn’t worked so far. Virginia Tech obviously recognized that Ohio State would be playing without injured Braxton Miller, the back-to-back Big Ten Player of the Year. In addition, Ohio State had to replace four starters on its offensive line and lost its top receiver and top running back from last year. VT adjusted their defense and basically, stacked up nine players “in the box” close to the line to take away Ohio State’s running game and played the receivers one-on-one. This strategy worked well as the Buckeyes only gained 108 yards rushing (70 by quarterback J.T. Barrett) and completed 12 of 29 pass attempts. The tone of the game was pretty much set when VT made 5 of 5 third down conversions during their

first two touchdown drives. Both teams had trouble converting on third down after that, but VT bested OSU as they finished 9 for 17 and OSU was only 4 for 16. Since Miller got hurt this fall before the season began and is out for the season, Buckeye fans have been speculating as to how good his replacement, Barrett, would be. I believe Barrett was one of the brighter spots of the day. He had 219 yards passing, but only 12 completions in 29 attempts. Admittedly these were not very good numbers. However, if you saw the game, you would see that he didn’t have much help. Barrett was behind an offensive line that offered little protection, receivers that forgot how to catch the ball and a defense that was very aggressive. I saw spurts of a very good quarterback who can run when needed, doesn’t throw too badly and has some leadership ability. If he is groomed properly, I think he will do well this year and may give Braxton Miller a run for the quarterback position next year. Virginia Tech was unranked before the

game, but is now 17th. Ohio State dropped from eighth to 22nd. No surprise there. The shot at a national championship this year for OSU is probably out of the question, even with the new BCS four-team playoff system. The Big Ten Championship is a different question, however, but only because there might not be much competition in the conference, looking at other results that same week. For instance, Central Michigan out of the Mid-American Conference pummeled Purdue, 38-17, and both Michigan and Michigan State lost big. Still, I believe Michigan State may be about the only team that’s tough enough in to offer much competition in the league. The season is early and Ohio State, as always, has a ton of talent. The talent needs significantly more development than originally thought, but, a positive is that there may be no better coaching staff than the one at OSU.

Horizon Science-Fostoria match-up makes history

“

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com

August 30

None of them offer baseball and softball, and we’re bringing wrestling on this winter.

“

Friday night’s gridiron match-up between Northern Buckeye Conference member Fostoria and Toledo charter school Horizon Science is historic. It marks a new trend — a trend that was expected and is now being realized. A Toledo charter school is pushing to become a member of the Ohio High School Athletic Association with full athletic programs. Horizon Science Academy Toledo is now a probationary member of the Ohio High School Athletic Association and is playing a complete 10-game football schedule this season. Next year, the school expects to be a full member with eligibility for the playoffs. HSAT has two sister schools, including one in Columbus that is a member of the OHSAA and one in Cleveland that is not. Columbus Horizon Science (189 boys, 171 girls) does not have football, but does have boys and girls basketball, boys soccer, track, and volleyball. Toledo Horizon Science football coach Harold “Chip” Strahm, who is also the athletic director, says his school is outgrowing the other members of its charter school league, the Community Schools Athletic Conference. That league includes five other high schools, some of which are also considering OHSAA membership. “None of them offer baseball and softball, and we’re bringing wrestling on this winter,” Strahm said. “When I first came here, the only thing that we offered was basketball and volleyball, and that was it when I took over as AD,” Strahm estimates that the high school has 115 boys in its high school, which is more than many Ohio schools that offer football, including several Toledo Area Athletic Conference members. Plus, HSAT also offers volleyball and cross country teams this fall. Strahm guarantees that plenty of the school’s athletes live on the east side of the Maumee River, even though the school is in West Toledo. Strahm is not concerned about getting resistance from public schools as HSAT

continues to grow. He is already involved with Toledo City League and TAAC athletic directors and he expects that to continue. “I think we have good working relationships,” Strahm said. “We now have schools that are calling us for games.” Strahm believes that his school would be a good fit for membership in either the TCL or TAAC someday, even though CL schools have more enrollment. “I’ve been talking with the other ADs about that, and they think the City League might be a nice fit for us because they are looking to expand,” Strahm said. “The only thing is, their numbers as far as participation, are close to equivalent to what we have. “I know everything there is as far as the AD thing, and then maybe the second part of the year I’m going to start talking to leagues about getting in. We’re in the process of trying to start a boosters program, trying to get donations, and renting our gym out for extra money for our programs. We’re trying to level the playing field.” HSAT has 25 players on this year’s football roster, including six seniors, nine juniors, three sophomores, and seven freshmen. Strahm says there were several more students who wanted to play but were ineligible for various reasons. He says 40 per-

Health Published second week of month.

Walbridge woman is a big loser and proud of it By Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer twalro@presspublications.com

Robin Chlebowski, of Walbridge, surpassed her 100-pound weight loss goal and was named the winner of the Extreme Weight Loss Challenge. Chlebowski credited the support of challenge sponsors and her coparticipants, along with the tried-andtrue-formula of eating less and moving more for helping her win the challenge. At the Extreme Weight Loss Challenge’s initial weigh-in, Chlebowski tipped the scales at 255, making her goal an even 100. “13abc reporter Kelly Heidbreder, who led the challenge, told us that typically, people lose, on average, 80 pounds during the challenge, so I was excited,” Chlebowski said. Throughout the challenge, participants competed on a point system, earning points based on weight loss and performance in monthly group challenges, as well as extra credit points for getting in one workout or class per month at Super Fitness. “Each month, half of us would get eliminated,” she said. From October through May, Chlebowski continued her food journaling and worked out regularly at home on her elliptical machine. She also joined a local running club, the Toledo Roadrunners. “I had been running off and on since college, though not so much when I was at my heaviest,” she said. “Toward the end of the challenge, in the last couple of months, I bumped my workouts up to twice a day,” she said. “And I stuck to the 1,200 calories for the most part, except for the very end, though I never went too low because I didn’t want to lose the weight in an unhealthy way.” It turns out, the often-prescribed formula of eating less and moving more worked for Chlebowski and she was often at the top of the point charts at the challenge’s monthly events. “There were a few people who were on my tail, and I found that motivating…I guess I didn’t really know how competitive I was,” she said.

“

In May of that year, I got on my scale and it briefly flashed 367 pounds and then it went dead… I believe it really only went up to 350.

“

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Sometimes you win when you lose… just ask the participants in 13abc’s recent Extreme Weight Loss Challenge. When the TV station’s annual competition ended last month, Robin Chlebowski, of Walbridge, was crowned the biggest loser and she couldn’t be more thrilled. The challenge started last October, with more than 170 people putting it all on the line in an attempt to lose weight and win prizes. Though the TV station had been issuing calls for participants in the weeks before the Extreme Weight Loss Challenge started, Chlebowski hadn’t heard anything about it. “One morning, I turned on the news and they were talking about it being the last day to register for the challenge,” she said. “I was only half listening until they said part of the proceeds from the $25 registration fee went to ALS. “My grandma passed away from ALS, so I took it as a sign,” she said. “I didn’t even know they had done this in the past or anything and I thought, you know what…what could it hurt?” she said. “They said come after 5 and join in, so that’s what I did.” At 38, Chlebowski, had been struggling with her weight most of her life. In early 2010, she was diagnosed with skin cancer and subsequently underwent surgery. The treatment was successful and today, she’s cancer-free. “The whole thing sent me into a depression,” she said. “At the time, Ben and Jerry were my best friends and I gained a ton of weight. “In May of that year, I got on my scale and it briefly flashed 367 pounds and then it went dead… I believe it really only went up to 350,” she said. Frustrated, embarrassed and fearing for her health, Chlebowski decided she needed to do something. “I even considered lap band surgery, until I read that a possible complication of the procedure could be death,” she said. Her research also noted that lap band patients are required to stick to a 1,200-calorie-a-day diet for the rest of their lives. “So I decided to pretend that I had the surgery and from that day forward, track my food in a food diary and do the 1,200 calorie thing. “I bought a little book called ‘The CalorieKing’ and wrote everything down,” she said. “I know a lot of people use the apps to track their food, but I’m old school…I like putting pen to paper. I felt it made me more accountable, because I had to do the work of writing everything down.” Chlebowksi’s efforts paid off and within a year, she lost almost 100 pounds. “Then the summer came and I was a little lackadaisical, and gained back a few pounds,” she said. “Then when this challenge came up in October, I thought it would be just what I needed to get me to my final goal, which was 155.”

Her efforts were featured on regular segments of the 13abc news programs. “Yeah, despite the fact that I had my hair pulled back, was sweating most of the time and was always wearing that bright yellow competition shirt, I actually loved being on TV, she said. “I told myself, in the end, I’m only going to look better so I can’t care what I look like now.” “In the end, it came down to just four females,” Chlebowski said. “Prior to this year, I think males had really done better. I

thought it was cool we had “girl power.” “Though we were competing, the support from everyone involved in the challenge was amazing.. I’ve gained lifelong friends…it’s become like a family,” she said. “Toward the end, we were all saying that it really didn’t matter who wins or loses because we’re all winners in the end,” she said. At the final weigh in, held May 6, Chlebowski registered 153 pounds, beating her goal by two pounds. She was crowned the winner May 21, based on her total points earned. She received a trophy, a yearlong membership to Super Fitness and a treadmill for her efforts. “I’ve never met my weight loss goal before, so when I did, I thought, “what do I do now?’” she said. In the meantime she’s gained back a few pounds, which is ok with her “I think 153 was a little too thin for me,” she said. She remains confident she can keep the weight off. “I’ve broken up with Ben and Jerry for good, and the workouts have become a regular part of my life. I’ve also run more 5Ks than I ever thought I would.” She’s also trying to live up to the proud boasting by her mom. “I think the people she works with are tired of hearing about me,” she said. She’s also looking forward to the 13abc’s next Extreme Weight Loss Challenge. “It starts up again in October, and I’m going to get involved with helping to coach and motivate the participants,” she said. “I’ve always wanted to be a motivational speaker, to help other people.”

cent of his players maintain a 3.3 GPA or higher. “Last year, we finished the season with 16 kids, and now we are up to 25, and next year hopefully, we have enough boys in this school, that we should have a roster size of

about 35, or more, if we can get more kids interested in football,” Strahm said. “The thing is, since we started this program, we’ve had kids coming over to Horizon just for that just because they might not be able to play at a bigger school.” Before the football season began, Horizon Science had a three-way scrimmage with Vanlue and Scott. Vanlue is the smallest school in Ohio (30 boys in three grades) to consistently maintain a football program. “We played well against Vanlue, scoring two touchdowns, and played dead-even with Scott,” Strahm said. The Horizon Science Jaguars opened the regular season at Cleveland Lincoln West, a Division II team that is a member of that city’s historic “Senate” conference, and HSAT lost to the Wolverines, 30-20. HSAT was down 22-0 at halftime, but came back to make it close in the second half. The next week, the Jaguars traveled to Canal Winchester to take on Harvest Prep, and Horizon Science was blown out, 79-0. “That was a bad game, but we had about six injuries. It was terrible,” Strahm said. “Due to our numbers and the injuries, we were shuffling kids all over the place. I don’t know if we were ready for it, but we’ll bounce back this week.” This Friday night, Horizon Science travels to Dola, Ohio to take on Hardin Northern. All remaining games except one are on the road, and they are at Fostoria St. Wendelin, Collins Western Reserve, Cleveland Heights Lutheran East, Lucas, and Elyria Open Door Christian. The Jaguars close the season with a home game against Landmark Christian, a non-OHSAA member, on Saturday, Nov. 1. Strahm says his school is still considering where to play that game. Strahm said HSAT’s football field, located next to the school on West Sylvania Avenue, is not fully developed yet, so he is looking to possibly play at a couple other locations in Toledo. Coach Strahm played his high school football at Carey and he currently lives in Haskins. His assistant coaches at Horizon are Tim Brown, Nate Zachrich, and Rich Dale.
