Lake Erie algae

Impairment will establish baseline

By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Since the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency announced on March 22 that it planned to designate the open waters of Lake Erie’s Western Basin as impaired for recreation due to harmful algae and the presence of mycrocystin, reaction has been mostly positive from some environmental groups and public officials.

The designation would cover the basin from the Michigan/Ohio state line to the Marblehead Lighthouse. Previously, only the shoreline area of the Western Basin and drinking water intakes have been designated as impaired.

The Kasich Administration requested input from representatives from The Ohio State University Sea Grant College Program, Bowling Green State University, University of Toledo, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and U.S. EPA to identify a science-based process for assessing impairment in Ohio’s Western Basin open waters for harmful algae. To date, no such process has existed, so Ohio has not been able to determine if the open waters of Lake Erie should be listed. “The decision certainly comes as welcome news following years of economic damage in Northwest Ohio,� said State Rep. Michael Sheehy (D-Oregon), who co-sponsored legislation that was introduced into the Ohio House of Representatives a week before the impairment designation

“

And there are no automatic mandatory regulations for agriculture due to impairment.

“

Even though FirstEnergy Solutions filed a deactivation notice last week for three nuclear power plants, the company also called for legislators to seek solutions that would make it feasible to continue operations.

FES, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp., on Wednesday notified PJM Interconnection, a regional transmission organization, that two nuclear power plants in Ohio, including the Davis-Besse plant, and one in Pennsylvania will be deactivated over the next three years.

Such closures are subject to review by regional transmission organizations, PJM Interconnection is the RTO that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in Ohio, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. “We call on elected officials in Ohio and Pennsylvania to consider policy solutions that would recognize the importance of these facilities to the employees and local economies in which they operate, and the unique role they play in providing, zero-emission electric power for consumers in both states,� said Don Moul, president of FES Generation Companies and chief nuclear officer. “Though the plants have taken aggressive measures to cut costs, the market challenges facing these units are beyond their control.�

The plants scheduled for retirement are: Davis-Besse in 2020; Beaver Valley Power Station in Shippingport, Pa., in 2021 and Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Perry, O., in 2021.

Combined, the plants have a generating capacity of 4,048 megawatts, which equaled about 65 percent of FirstEnergy Solutions generation capacity in 2017.

The plants will continue normal operations in the interim, the company said.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been verbally notified of the deactivations and the required written notification

that called on the U.S. EPA to declare the Western Basin of Lake Erie as impaired, “We are thankful for the governor’s political courage, and that he is joining us in defense of Ohio’s single greatest natural resource against the big-money special interest groups fighting against a solution.�

Mike Ferner, coordinator of Advocates for a Clean Lake Erie (ACLE), which filed a lawsuit in federal court last July to compel the U.S. EPA to designate the lake impaired, said environmentalists have for years asked the Ohio EPA to add the Western Basin of Lake Erie to its impaired list, without success.

He said ACLE has also inundated Gov. Kasich’s office with hundreds of postcards, picketed at Ohio EPA-sponsored events and worked hard to raise awareness of the issue.

No impact “The decision that took court suit is way overdue, but let’s get down to work now,� said Ferner.

The Ohio Farm Bureau looked at the issue differently. The group believes the decision to list the open waters of Lake Erie as impaired will have no immediate impact on farmers or the lake’s water quality. The professional consensus is that the designation in and of itself means little. It does not create mandatory actions, nor does it provide federal money. “Our biggest worry is that the public may get the impression that this is the silver bullet that will eliminate harmful algal blooms. It won’t, said Adam Sharp, executive vice president of the Ohio Farm Bureau.

The Farm Bureau has never opposed the designation, but the organization has promoted the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement as a preferable plan for improving water quality. The agreement maps out specific targets and strategies to attain a 40 percent reduction in phosphorus loading into the lake by 2025.

Baseline Heidi Griesmer, Ohio EPA spokesperson, told The Press last week that the impairment designation will not provide any additional federal funds to improve the lake, and will not give authority to the Ohio EPA director to regulate agriculture. “That won’t change because of the Continued on page 2

Gardner, Arndt, calling for Clean Lake 2020 Plan

By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

“

These are not brand new ideas, just a greater sense of urgency to implement them.

“

State Senator Randy Gardner (R-Bowling Green) and State Representative Steve Arndt (R-Port Clinton), proposed a series of clean water and conservation initiatives they think will get Ohio on track to reduce nutrient loading into Lake Erie by 40 percent by 2025.

The representatives proposed the plan at the Ottawa County Soil and Water Conservation District’s Lake Erie Forum at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds.

The 40 percent reduction was pledged in the Western Basin of Lake Erie Collaborative Agreement signed two years ago between Ohio, Michigan and Ontario, with 20 percent reduction by 2020 called an “aspirational” goal.

“Ohio has made some progress,” said Arndt, “but we need to do more to accelerate that place of progress so we can reach our commitment toward a cleaner lake.”

Gardner and Arndt acknowledged Ohio EPA’s leadership in assisting area water treatment plants following the Toledo water crisis of 2014. In addition, millions of dollars in collaborative algae research at Ohio colleges and universities, including Ohio State’s Stone Lab program, have been implemented by the Department of Higher Education. They believe better tributary monitoring, funded efforts to reduce open lake dumping of dredged materials, fertilizer applicator certification mandates and

passage of the Clean Lake Erie act of 2015 are making a difference, “We want to do more – we can do more,” said Gardner. “We want to be a strong partner with the agricultural community and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the EPA to support ideas on which we can all agree.”

2020 Plan The Clean Lake 2020 Plan includes: •A significant new Clean Lake Capital Fund that may appropriate up to $100 million per year for five years for both Lake Erie algae reduction, and agricultural best practices. Funding may include establishing facilities to improve manure application processes, projects to reduce open lake disposal of dredged materials, funds to local governments for water quality-based green infrastructure, water management projects to help reduce nutrient and sediment runoff impacting the lake and other strategies.

•A new Soil and Water Support Fund,

with some of the funding provided directly to soil and water conservation districts to assist farmers, in soil testing, nutrient management plans, installing edge of field drainage devices, encouraging inserting of nutrients (subsurface placement), and agreed to conservation methods that may include riparian buffers, filter strips and cover crops.

“These are not brand new ideas, just a greater sense of urgency to implement them,” Arndt said. “There appears to be widespread agreement with state officials, environmental and agriculture groups, tourism advocates and business leaders that many of these strategies will make a big difference.”

The representatives believe the Clean Lake 2020 Plan can serve to make Ohio’s Domestic Action Plan as effective as possible in reaching its goals, as facilitated by the Lake Erie Commission.

Impairment of lake will establish baseline to fight algae Continued from front page impairment designation. And there are no automatic mandatory regulations for agriculture due to impairment,” said Griesmer.

What the impairment designation will do, she said, is establish a baseline of nutrient and phosphorus levels in the lake to reduce Harmful Algal Blooms.

“We need to know at what point is it impaired, and at what point do we take it off the impaired list,” she said.

“Every two years, the Ohio EPA is required to come up with a report outlining the general conditions of our waterways, including impaired waterways. When a water segment is put on the impaired list, it triggers us to do a study trying to figure out the impairment problem. Then we develop a plan on how we think it should be fixed.

In the open waters of Lake Erie, we did it in reverse. We have already done a study and determined where the impairment is.

We developed an impairment plan that outlines how we want to fix the lake.” That adaptive management plan can change.

The Ohio EPA, she added, does not intend to establish a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), which is part of the Clean Water Act. A TMDL is a plan for restoring impaired waters that identifies the maximum amount of a pollutant, such as phosphorus, that the lake can receive while still meeting water quality standards.

“We don’t intend to do a TMDL because we have a domestic action plan in place. Normally, you have to do a water quality study and go through the TMDL process. In this case, we have already developed a domestic action plan that basically does the same thing. If we were to do a TMDL, we would be retracing our steps and wasting our time,” said Griesmer.

There is a TMDL in place in all the sub watersheds in the Western Basin of Lake Erie, she added.

(NOAA) and U.S. EPA to identify a science-based process for assessing impairment in Ohio’s Western Basin open waters for harmful algae, she said.

“We applied that methodology, and that’s why we’re proposing to declare the open waters of Lake Erie impaired for recreation due to Harmful Algal Blooms,” said Griesmer.

The baseline for microcystin will be established through the review of satellite images taken by NOAA, she said.

“There’s a correlation between the images of how dense the Harmful Algal Blooms are and toxicity, so they will evaluate it and determine at what density would there be enough toxins in which we could see health impacts. And that’s the methodology we’re using. We’re basing it on the NOAA satellite data, which gives us several previous years to look at to properly evaluate the lake.”

“One thing we’ve had this year that we haven’t had in the past is a science based methodology to evaluate the open waters of Lake Erie for Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs),” said Griesmer. “When we did our impaired waterways list in 2014 and 2016, we asked the U.S. EPA for standards. For example, if there is an impairment due to E. Coli, we know what the water quality standard is for E.Coli because we know the standard we are comparing against and what we need to get to.

There is not a standard for microcystin in recreational waters or Harmful Algal Blooms. After 2016, we weren’t getting what we needed from U.S. EPA. They did not come up with that.”

Hockey dangerous?

Public input sought

‘So what?’ say special needs players

Perry’s Victory & International Peace Memorial opened the draft Cultural Landscape Treatment Plan & Environmental Assessment for public review and comment for 30 days beginning March 23.

The Cultural Landscape Treatment Plan and Environmental Assessment (EA) will guide future management of the historic memorial landscape and determine impacts from implementing this plan. The cultural landscape treatment plan includes care of historic trees and shrubs, addition or alteration of ramps, sidewalks, or stairs to improve access to the plaza and memorial column, installation of wayside exhibits, locations for future housing and outdoor gathering space, and enhancements to park gateways.

The purpose of the EA is to guide management, treatment, and use of resources at the Memorial and evaluate impacts to natural and cultural resources. The proposed action is needed at this time to provide park staff with a detailed plan that supports historic landscape management in accordance with National Park Service planning and management policies. The NPS has drafted concepts for moving forward and is seeking public and community input during this 30-day period which ends April 22.

The plan is available at the park administrative offices, the Erie Islands Library, and online at https:// parkplanning.nps.gov/projectHome. cfm?projectID=70006. Comments will be accepted through April 22. For further information, call 419-285-2184.

By Jeffrey D. Norwalk Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com There is that age-old reputation that hockey has earned as a violent and dangerous sport.

That has no doubt stood as a barrier between the Black Swamp Ice Frogs special needs hockey team and faster growth via greater roster numbers in the team’s first six years of existence.

“While getting on the ice and playing hockey isn’t without its risks, our team is completely non-contact,” offers Ice Frogs’ board secretary Shannon Anderson, of Toledo, who is also the mother of two players on the team in sons Josh Jr., 8, who was diagnosed with autism, and Harrison, 6, who battles sensory processing disorder.

“Incidental contact is natural to the game, but players are taught how to handle it, to minimize injury to themselves and others around them. Malicious and purposeful contact is not tolerated,” Anderson said. “Some other challenges include creating connections between teammates and adjusting to each player’s ability to remain involved and engaged.

“For those with physical disabilities, a huge hurdle is in just getting over the ‘I can’t do it’ mentality,” adds Anderson.

“In a larger team sense, a big challenge for those who are coaching would have to be a constant assessment of just how everyone is doing on any given practice day, and adjusting to fit the capabilities of the team on the fly.”

The 15 players who make up today’s Black Swamp Ice Frogs special needs hockey team come about as diverse and rich as the frogs that once teemed in the Black Swamp’s turbid waters, and called them home.

Drawn from all over Northwest Ohio and ranging in age from four to 30, the Ice Frogs’ roster is made of men and women, and boys and girls, with the average age falling between 10 and 12. There are players holding their own against such life-altering diagnoses as cerebral palsy, autism, attention-deficit disorder/attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, Down syndrome, sensory processing disorder, heart conditions, and on and on.

However, where things begin to differ from the experiences of traditional hockey teams, is when those “special needs” themselves are introduced into the equation for the Ice Frogs.

For instance, some players come to the team never having laced up a pair of skates before, nor having even stepped on a sheet of ice, which is when the Ice Frogs break out their small store of adaptive equipment, like walkers, and an apparatus called a Kaye Trainer Harness System, to help these players gain both their footing and their confidence, and be successful sooner rather than later at the rink.

Black Swamp Ice Frogs To help see to the Ice Frogs’ every specific need, the team has assembled a closeknit family of three USA Hockey-certified coaches, several adult/parent on-ice volunteers/coaches, and even a handful of both high school and middle-school players from around the area who give of their time as junior coaches.

Learning the game But, make no mistake about it. This team is also on the ice to learn the game of hockey. That includes working on, to the best of each of their abilities, the basic skills that make the game what it is during every Sunday practice — like skating, puck-handling. passing and everybody’s favorite…shooting.

Players often participate in a basic “dig drill,” which sees two to three Ice Frogs at a time skate into a corner, try to dig the puck out, and gain control of it, after a coach shoots it there. As well as a “take-and-go” drill, where players skate from baseline to blue line, take a pass from a coach, and then go and try to score on net.

“Our games are conducted as standard 5-on-5 games,” allows Anderson’s husband and Ice Frogs’ coach Josh Anderson. “Icing and offside rules, at the level the Ice Frogs play, are not enforced. Allotments are also made for extra players to be on the ice who are considered ‘floaters’.”

“Floaters are players who may tend to not take part in the actual flow of a game, but are skating on the ice for the experience,” Josh explains. “Most of the floaters we have had have been individuals on the Autism Spectrum, who would mostly be on

the ice for the sensory experience and only on occasion take part in the game. Penalty shots and shoot outs are often used during and after games to ensure that every player has an opportunity to take a shot, score a goal, or at least handle the puck.

“At times, the hockey being played can look painfully poor if you are someone who only watches the NHL,” he says. “But, to those who come out and watch special needs hockey that same game can be some of the most intense and riveting hockey they’ve ever seen. And, it’s because they know the players out there are giving it their best, and working to overcome a variety of challenges to be there.”

Shannon chimes in, “Special hockey is unique in the aspect that winning has nothing to do with the number on the scoreboard at the end of the game. Special hockey wins are measured in the smiles of the players as they exit the ice.

“Coaches are encouraged to provide feedback to all players highlighting personal bests, like ‘Great job following those plays, and skating after the puck!’ Or, ‘Hey, I saw you help that player on the other team up after he fell down! Nice job!’” she says. “Games are scored, but we don’t typically keep track of wins and losses.”

One of the newest members of the 60team American Special Hockey Association, which has teams in 38 cities, the Ice Frogs play a schedule that spans from early October to late March.

FirstEnergy files closure plans of the industry due to low power prices and weak forecasts for demand. It said a review of two coal plants and one natural gas plant will continue.

One legislative solution for nuclear plants could be a program that requires electric distribution utilities to purchase zero-emissions nuclear credits and recover the purchase costs through a rider imposed on retail electric service customers.

The argument behind the program is that the subsidies to nuclear plants are needed to maintain a mix of power sources in the state and support generators with cleaner emissions than coal. Critics of the credits say they reward uncompetitive plants poorly suited for today’s energy needs.

Continued from front page will be made to the commission in 30 days.

Notifications were also made to the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations and Nuclear Energy Institute.

Moul said the plants had implemented “aggressive measures to cut costs” but have been able to overcome “market challenges.”

About 2,030 employees are expected to be impacted by the deactivations.

The company said it will continue to work toward “legislative solutions” to keep the plants operating but will look for potential buyers as another alternative.

In 2016, FirstEnergy Corp. announced it planned to exit the generation component

ting the initiatives introduced in the legislature for over a year.

The agency has sought the institution of a statewide phosphorus permit limit for wastewater treatment plants to address threats to public water systems, recreation on inland lakes, and other downstream problems associated with excess nutrients. Small increases in phosphorus can significantly increase algae growth, which has a drastic negative impact on water quality. Algae growth affects public health, limits recreational use of inland waters, reduces property values, impacts businesses, and has increased costs to rate payers for drinking water. Currently, the major publicly owned treatment works in the Ohio Lake Erie basin have a total phosphorus limit of 1 mg/L. Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Minnesota have also placed a limit on phosphorus at 1 mg/L or lower.

“Right now, the major wastewater treatment plants that discharge directly to the lake have a phosphorus limit of one milligram per liter. This bill would make that limit the same for all major discharges across the state, throughout the rest of the Lake Erie Basin and the Ohio River Basin,” Heidi Griesmer, spokesperson for the Ohio EPA, told The Press last week.

The second point of interest deals with “watersheds in distress,” she said.

The modification of the “watershed in distress” designation creates a practical tool for the state and its partners to use to target specific challenges within watersheds in Ohio. The bill expands the definition of “agricultural pollution” to include fertilizer and directs the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) to establish rules for “watersheds in distress” that are caused by fertilizer. Those rules will also include requirements for the creation of nutrient management plans that address fertilizer use in those watersheds.

The bill also establishes a process for Ohio EPA to share information with ODA regarding unsanitary water conditions so that proper investigatory action may occur if it is found to be necessary by ODA. “It would add the word `fertilizer’ to the definition of agricultural pollution.

Right now, it’s just manure,” said Griesmer.

“Adding fertilizer would enable agriculture to write rules that would define how they would designate `watersheds in distress’ in the Lake Erie Basin. That would then trigger nutrient management plans on behalf of farms. They would have to determine what would be included in the nutrient management plans. After they go through the rule-making process identifying certain watersheds within the basin that are larger contributors to the problem, farms would be required to take additional steps to reduce their nutrient pollution.”

Gordon Lumber honored for 150th anniversary Representatives of Gov. John R. Kasich and Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor presented a proclamation to Gordon Lumber in Fremont in honor of the company’s 150th anniversary.

Erin Leonard, President of Gordon Lumber, accepted the proclamation on behalf of the 120 employees of the company.

“We’re pleased that the highest representatives in our state are recognizing us for our many years in business,” said Leonard. “What started as a small sawmill built 15 decades ago by our founder, Washington Gordon, is now a thriving business serving 3,500 customers.”

The proclamation says in part: “Your commitment and dedication to your customers have made your community a better place to live, work and raise a family.”

Gordon Lumber operates six home center/lumberyards and a components manufacturing facility in Ohio.

Locations include Bellevue, Bowling Green, Findlay, Fremont, Genoa, Huron and Port Clinton. The corporate offices are in Fremont.

The proclamation was presented by Lu Cooke, public liaison for Gov. Kasich and Jim Wasil, business liaison from the office of the Lt. Governor.

Woodmore School district sets forums on finance

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Before they head to the polls on May 8, voters in the Woodmore Local School District will have the opportunity to ask questions of the administration about the district’s finances and a 3-mill, 5-year permanent improvement levy that will be up for renewal.

Financial forums are scheduled for April 17 at the PreK-8 building and on April 26 at the high school library. Both forums will start at 6 p.m.

Dan Russomanno, district treasurer, said the forums will focus on the district’s

general fund and permanent improvement fund as well as the bond retirement fund and classroom maintenance fund.

Permanent improvement levy revenues may be used for equipment, buildings and other assets that have a life of five years or more but not on personnel salaries or benefits.

The levy on next month’s ballot generates about $420,000 a year.

“The general fund and PI fund discussions will include some conversation about staffing and building needs,” Russomanno said.

The permanent improvement fund was tapped to help complete a four-year project to replace the heating and air-conditioning

system at the high school building that cost approximately $1.6 million.

The fund also helped pay for the district’s technology system and security and safety upgrades in buses and buildings.

Seven buses have been purchased during the past eight years.

The school board and administration have been completing a plan to prioritize future maintenance and building needs for remaining permanent improvement funds, Tim Rettig, superintendent, says in his column in the district newsletter.

Last summer, the school board approved the purchase of Chromebooks and iPads as part of the district’s 1:1 Technology Initiative to provide students greater access

to internet resources.

The board also approved a five-year contract with the Northern Ohio Educational Computer Association that will double the bandwidth at the high school, said Mike Byrd, technology director.

In addition to the contract with NOECA, the board also approved contracting with ITsavvy to complete the network system at the high school.

The NOECA contract of $41,100 a year and the $62,860 price for ITsavvy’s work are both eligible for discounts of 60 percent through the federal E-rate Schools and Libraries program, Byrd said at the time.

Two hundred Chromebooks were purchased for students along with 35 iPads.

Same passion that went into heroin use now goes into recovery Nate Kehlmeier couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop even when opioids took his $20-an-hour union job, his new car, his apartment and his girlfriend.

He was 21.

He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop when his uncle gave him a job and a second chance. He stole his payroll checks and forged them. Twice.

He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop after 30 days in a Sandusky County jail and 30 days in a Lucas County jail. All he thought about was getting out and getting high.

He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop after a family intervention.

He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop after his first try at rehab. A friend brought him Oxycontin and he got high at the treatment facility.

He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop when he was kicked out of his parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; house in Genoa and found himself living on the streets in East Toledo, sleeping on couches and basement floors, driven to heroin after the pills became too expensive.

He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop after his family paid $6,000 for another shot at another treatment facility.

He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop when he concocted a plan telling his drug dealer to hold his cell phone hostage, while he cajoled his mother to drive from Genoa to East Toledo at 10:30 at night to pay a ransom of $60, which Kehlmeier used to get his fix.

How low. How do you put a mother through so much pain?

He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop when, on December 10, 2007, he robbed a drug dealer, stealing enough heroin to overdose and commit suicide. On that day, the needle clogged, giving Nate Kehlmeier another chance to consider his life choices.

He still couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even after being that low in my life I still used,â&#x20AC;? he said last week during his presentation on opioids at the East Toledo Center, sponsored by the East Toledo Club.

Kehlmeier finally stopped using a month later on January 17, 2008. He recalled the day: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I robbed a drug dealer on Raymer Street. He caught up with me an hour later and unloaded six rounds into my car. Four bullets hit right above and below the window where I sat.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it took to start the long, painful journey to kick the heroin habit.

When Kehlmeier appeared before a judge on a probation violation, he said he begged the judge to send him to jail. The judge obliged.

Kehlmeier knew he needed that confined place where he had no choice but to confront the nightmare that is withdrawal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Withdrawal from opiates is so severeâ&#x20AC;Ś think about the flu and times that by 100. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the worst feeling in the world. As a human being your first thought process is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to make me feel better â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the drug.â&#x20AC;?

Kehlmeier has shared his story many times in the 10 years heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been clean. He says what happened to him can happen to anyone. By telling his story, he can show others a good life is possible after addiction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never dreamed while growing up Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have a criminal record let alone be a heroin addict, he said.

His opioid journey began like it does for many â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an injury led to pain pills.

At age 21, he broke his ankle playing basketball. The break was severe and he was given Vicodin for the pain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I took that Vicodin I loved the way it made me feel. I thought to myself, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I

Nate Kehlmeier shares stories of his struggle with opioid addiction at the East Toledo Senior Center.

(Press photo by Ken Grosjean) want to feel this way every single day for the rest of my life.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the consequences that were going to come along with that.â&#x20AC;?

Vicodin only did so much. Kehlmeier says he soon had three doctors prescribing him a total of 120 Percocet. He was doing five at a time, five times a day. The habit quickly grew into a $200 a day Oxycontin burden. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when he lost his job, his apartment, his new car and his girlfriend.

No job. No money. Suddenly, heroin, at $5 to $10 a hit, became his drug of choice.

When that judge obliged Kehlmeier and sent him to jail, he may have also saved his life. While at Stryker, Kehlmeier met a social worker who arranged an aftertreatment stay at a halfway house in Boca Raton, Florida.

It was there Kehlmeier may have made his best choice in his young life of bad choices. He interviewed for a job at a Wyn-

dham Hotel. The opportunity surprised him and he decided it was time to stop lying to himself and those he knew. He told his story during the interview, was hired, performed well and was given more responsibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt some worth in my life. Some responsibility. Accountability. I had the

keys to every part of the hotel. I never would have guessed someone would have trusted me a year before.â&#x20AC;?

After a year, he was ready for a career change and knew if he could emerge from that rabbit hole of despair he could help others. Now at age 35 and 10 years clean, he is the director of admissions at the Midwest Recovery Center.

The comprehensive treatment center is located in Maumee. It offers detox; individual, group and family therapy sessions; 12-step groups; skills training and sober living homes.

Kehlmeierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk at the East Toledo Senior Center was scheduled for a half hour. It lasted more than an hour. Clearly, some in the audience were dealing with family members struggling with opioids.

Kehlmeier proposes tough loveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;support, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enable. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t house him.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give him money. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give him rides. Intervene and get him into a residential treatment program.

Some things to look for include changes in behavior, weight loss, pin-point pupils, unusual sleepiness or brown spots on a wall or the ceiling of a car when air is forced out of the needle.

Kehlmeier will continue to tell his story with as much passion as he put into his drug use. The need to educate and spread awareness has never been greater.

Ohio registered 4,050 overdose deaths in 2016, according to the Ohio Department of Health. That ranks Ohio near the top of the 50 states for opioid deaths. Some statistics put Toledo in the top 10 cities in the nation and Kehlmeier says that East Toledo is the current hot bed for drug use in the city.

Troy Cairl Curtice “We’ll probably pay off some bills with it and put the rest in our savings.”

Donald Kruzel Toledo “I just used it to put a down payment on a jet ski! I can’t wait for the weather to get warm!”

Josie Buschmann Toledo “Pay some bills off.

I want to get some cards closed out so I lose that monthly payment and it frees some money up.”

Jody Palsa Point Place “I’m taking my son Johnny to St. Paul, Minnesota for the NCAA Frozen Four.

That’s where a good chunk of it is going to and the rest I’m going to hold on to it as long as I can. We’ll see how that works out.”

Last Week's Results Should undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, also known as “Dreamers,” be allowed to stay in the U.S.?

39% Yes. With conditions: They have a job or are going to school, pay back taxes, and are contributing to society.

33% Yes. They consider the U.S. their home.

28% No. They should be deported, then apply for citizenship the legal way.

Have you planned what you will be doing tomorrow?

Do you want each day to be exactly the same, or do you want to make progress toward your goals? Do you “wing it” each day, or do you have a plan? Do you wait to see what happens, or do you know what you will be doing tomorrow?

You plan for tomorrow when you take a vacation. Creating a daily itinerary is a common practice. For example, if you go on a cruise, the cruise line provides you with a schedule of what port you will be arriving at each day, along with a list of shipboard activities available to you.

Those taking a road trip by car will map out their daily route, identify where they would like to stop along the way, and make reservations for accommodations each night. They prepare for their trip by studying maps, travel guides, and brochures. Websites and reviews are also checked out.

Ironically, too many of these same people put little or no advanced preparation into what they are doing each day. They fall into routines, getting stuck in ruts.

They drift through life without any plan or purpose.

Planning ahead enables you to figure

Cobalt and Christianity To the editor: I recall that some Christian evangelical clergy took umbrage with President Donald Trump’s describing some countries whose residents might try to immigrate to the U.S. as “shithole countries.”

One of these countries seems to be the Democratic Republic Congo, which has an estimated $24 trillion in mineral deposits, including large reserves of coltan and cobalt.

Recently, CBS News informed the world of the children who mined the cobalt.

In his farewell address in January 1961, President Dwight Eisenhower said “In the council’s of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.” That quote should apply to U.S. military personnel being in countries such as Mali and Niger and the child cobalt miners, whose labor enhances companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Samsung and Tesla.

It seems many of the white evangelicals in President Trump’s base aren’t cognizant of the fact the U.S. used to send missionaries to pray for the children in the African countries.

I eagerly await President Trump’s comments about the black blockbuster movie, The Black Panther, which has grossed close to $1 billion after opening in about 60 countries; some of which are the “shithole” countries. Perhaps it is inspiring millions of children who aren’t spending their formative years mining cobalt for Fortune 500 companies.

Your plan provides a road map of what tasks you should tend to. Without a plan, you are just drifting without any specific direction.

As much as you plan for the future, there will be unexpected problems which have to be addressed in a timely fashion.

One of the things you should be doing on a daily basis is solving those problems which require immediate attention.

Adding problem solving to your daily activities prevents problems from being ignored or overlooked. Ignoring problems causes them to worsen, making them more difficult to handle in the future. The earlier you identify a problem, the easier it is to take corrective action.

Engaging in regular self-monitoring enables you to stay on track toward your objectives. Self-monitoring requires frequent assessments of where you are headed. This information allows you to make adjustments as needed. It’s the same process used when driving a car; you are constantly making adjustments to accommodate traffic, road conditions, weather, pedestrians, and obstructions.

had the vision to address a threat they have been subjected to their entire lives while older generations have forgotten their responsibilities as citizens in a democratic society and country.

Area students, adults and many of us older adults attended the rallies at Sandusky, Toledo, Cleveland and Washington and all were impressed with the organization and participating student speakers. They analyzed the problem, researched the topics (including the NRA and Second Amendment), and advocated positive solutions and plans for accomplishing their goals.

They expressed concerns for the safety of all children and adults and anger at how long it has taken current leaders to recognize and address the issue. They recognized that in our democracy there are no absolute rights and especially no rights that allow some to disregard the safety and welfare of all. No one is attempting to ban all guns or abolish the 2nd amendment. Those who claim we are do not recognize they are being used to give power and wealth to a few special interests who currently control the legislative process.

Refusing to resort to name-calling and personal threats used by the opposition, the students demonstrated they understand real leadership. Their leadership is derived from those who have been overlooked, ignored and bullied. It is not the “leadership” being claimed by those more interested in their own power, positions and contributors; corporations who now claim personhood and citizenship and the right to anonymously buy legislators; and certainly not entertainers impressed by their own importance, wealth, and numbers of Facebook “friends.”

Students and young people are demon-

strating their knowledge and belief in the democratic process and are challenging us to remember and act for the benefit of all.

Perhaps the most appropriate sign I viewed at the Sandusky march makes real sense.

The sign read “Congress members should be sent to school and students be sent to Congress.”

Prioritize patrols To the editor: I am asking the Lake Township trustees to not pass a resolution asking for a change in state law to allow township police officers to patrol interstate highways.

The vast majority of traffic on I-280 is just passing through and is not going to have any effect on the local residents and we need our police to be on our roads protecting us and our property.

Our police can still respond to specific calls as they did when they received a call about a wrong- way driver, and they could have assisted in the pursuit and arrest of the incident at the Flying J also. Being able to patrol I-280 would not have affected either of these cases and I would rather have the officers protecting our school during a lock down.

I feel we should prioritize our spending on our residents and let the other police departments do their job in the other areas.

We do not need our officers patrolling or setting up speed control zones on I-280, or trying to intercept drugs going through our township. If the drug dealers get off I-280 in the township then our officers have jurisdiction.

Let them spend their time on our roads.

morrow. People often avoid doing this because to do lists have a way of getting longer, rather than shorter. Here is a strategy for constructing a workable to do list. First, list the three most important tasks you have to handle.

Next, rank each task as to its importance. Now cross off tasks two and three.

You are left with a to do list with only the most important task you need to handle.

Now you have at least one task to focus on tomorrow.

Knowing what you will be doing tomorrow enables you to get more accomplished. If you are not achieving all you desire, consider engaging in additional planning.

Customers welcome reopening of Guy’s Pizza on Starr

By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com

“

I am a proud East Toledoan... I employ local people as well. I think people appreciate and support that.

“

Guy’s Pizza, located on Starr Avenue, in Toledo, has reopened after a fire took out the kitchen last summer.

According to Guy Mullins, owner, the pizza shop suffered major damage after fireworks set off a fire in July.

“It was reported to be around $10,000 damage,” Mullins said. “It ended up being over $100,000 in damage. We reopened Feb. 5 and it was like we had not missed a beat.

Our customers came back and our business has grown thanks to all of the ‘word of mouth’ we get.”

Guy’s Pizza opened its doors July 31, 2009. Mullins and his late father, Guy, opened as Sorrento’s Family Pizza, a nod to his father’s former restaurant at Huron and Magnolia.

“The recipes we use were my father’s,” Mullins said. “My dad developed and carried around the recipes since helping to open his first restaurant in Windsor, Canada, 40 years prior. When my father passed away four years ago, I changed the name to Guy’s Pizza because that was his name and it is my name. It is in honor of him.”

Born and raised in East Toledo, Mullins has continued helping the community as well. Guy’s has given Christmas dinners and full book bags to people who needed them.

The pizza place also gives children a free slice of pizza during Halloween “In 2016, we gave out 500 slices,” Mullins said. “Because of the fire last year, we could not do it. We will do it again this year. I am a proud East Toledoan. I went to Eastside Central and Waite High School. I employ local people as well. I think people appreciate and support that.”

After eight months of being closed, Mullins said people are now back for the traditional pizza, stone baked, with homemade toppings.

“We make the sauce and dough inhouse,” Mullins said. “Our meatballs and sausage are house-made. We make the dough daily. We shred our own cheese. I think people enjoy the unique taste our food has, which has brought them back.”

Guy’s was the first pizza place in East Toledo to bake the pies using a stone, he said. The pizza cooks within eight minutes in the 550-degree oven.

“People really love our cheese bread too, which is also baked in the oven,” he said.

“The oven gives the bread a caramelized flavor, which makes the bread stand out.”

The cheese bread comes in regular, BBQ, spicy chicken and a sweet cinnamon version.

“We are known for the Guys Trio,” Mullins said. “You get a large two-topping pizza, cheese bread and wings for $20.95. It is a very popular item.”

Guy’s also has sub sandwiches from ham and cheese, steak, Italian and meatball to a turkey club and everything in between.

Calzones? Yep, in small, medium and large.

Fried dinners like fried chicken, popcorn shrimp and cod, to the ever-popular pasta dinners like spaghetti and meatballs, ravioli, chicken parmesan and mostaccioli, is also available.

Feel like a burger or maybe a cod or fried chicken sandwich? Guy’s has you covered as well. Appetizers from chicken wings and jalapeno poppers to chicken strips and onion rings are also on the menu.

For dessert, satisfy your sweet tooth with fried cookie dough balls or jumbo cookies. Guy’s also has a “secret,” well, word-ofmouth dessert menu item.

“We have an Apple Delight pie for $6.95,” he said. “It comes with a side of icing. We sometimes test out products with our customers. If it becomes popular, we will put it on the menu. If someone wants the apple pie, all they have to do it ask for it.”

Guy’s has a “Box Top” program. Save up 10 box tops, and get a free medium pizza, pick up only.

Guy’s Pizza is located at 2001 Starr Avenue. Hours are noon-11 p.m. Monday through Thursday and noon-midnight on the weekend. To order, call 419-720-1990.

Hayes Center exhibit highlights poverty, then & now A special exhibit coming to the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums examines poverty at the turn of the 20th century through the lens of a photojournalist and connects his historic images to poverty issues of today.

“Jacob A. Riis: How the Other Half Lives” will be open April 7-May 25 in the lower level of the museum, located in Fremont.

The turn of the 20th century is best remembered as a two-sided coin. On one side, the close of the 1800s-birthed modern America as we know it today.

Industrialists like Andrew Carnegie and John Rockefeller built the first large corporations. Inventors like Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell remade the American lifestyle through their innovation.

On the other side, extreme poverty made life difficult for immigrants and the lower classes.

Rather than call this period the nation’s “Golden Age,” Mark Twain sarcastically dubbed it “The Gilded Age,” noting the era’s unnecessary opulence for too few and excessive want for too many.

Riis, a Danish-born American photographer, used his talent with a camera to peer behind the gilded veneer of high society to expose the harsh realities of living in New York City at the turn of the century.

Riis traveled into tenements, factories and sweatshops to document the day-to-day lives of the city’s many poor immigrants and laborers.

The traveling exhibit, created by the National Endowment for the Humanities’ touring program, NEH on the Road, contains several of Riis’ life-size photographs and personal artifacts, as well as multimedia features and interactive stations.

In the spirit of Riis’ passion to give a voice to the voiceless, the exhibit will include photographs and testimonials of those struggling locally in Sandusky County and Northwest Ohio to foster a conversation about hardship in the 21st century.

Throughout 2018, HPLM is leading a donation drive to help those in poverty in Sandusky County by collecting items for the Liberty Center homeless shelter in Fremont and the Sandusky County Department of Job and Family Services.

Those who donate personal care items (full-size shampoo, conditioner, body wash or hand and body lotion), personal care items or paper products (paper towels, paper napkins, paper plates or toilet paper), will receive $1 off admission. No sample or travel sizes, please.

Exhibit hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Monday through Saturday and noon-5 p.m. Sunday except for holiday hours and closings. Sponsored by Decker Roofing & Gutter Solutions.

There is a natural tendency to think that there will be a radical transformation after death, that we will be unburdened by our bodies and that our souls will fly off to heaven and be united with God. But then shouldn’t we prepare our souls now to be with God? The truth is that God won’t be changing, and probably neither will we. Our souls and the virtues and appetites we cultivate become more or less permanent parts of who we are. If you have cultivated a spirit of love and compassion in your life, and live in the presence of God, you can certainly expect more of this in the hereafter, but if you have cultivated a spirit of anger and

Genoa

hatred, or any of the other vices, these have become a part of your soul. Fortunately, these things can be changed, but only with steadfast hard work and a conscious decision to alter our characters. We can change our destiny, but only if we do the hard work necessary to change our characters. If you aren’t living in the presence of God now, what makes you think you’ll be in his presence in the hereafter? Live now as you would for eternity. “The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other because love covers over a multitude of sins.” —1 Peter 4:7-8 NIV

Expedia survey names Toledo 4th best place to visit Through its popular Viewfinder travel blog, the travel booking website Expedia recently conducted a survey to determine America’s favorite medium and small towns to visit.

A group of 1,000 participants selected 25 cities, and Toledo was chosen as the fourth best medium-to-small city for a getaway.

Citing the Toledo Museum of Art and its more than 30,000 pieces on display, along with Fifth Third Field and Tony Packo’s, author Chloe Mulliner says of the city, “One look at Toledo, and it’s no surprise Americans nominated it on our favorite destination list. You, too, will understand the city’s allure when you spend an afternoon frolicking through the flowers at Toledo Botanical Garden or cruising along the Maumee River on The Sandpiper. From the craft beers at Maumee Bay Brewing Co. to the family fun at Imagination Station, Toledo appeals to everyone.”

The Viewfinder blog features travel inspiration on destinations across the U.S. and across the globe. Written by Expedia staff writers who are themselves travel experts, Viewfinder seeks to inspire its audience to visit new places while celebrating destinations that are outside the norm.

“To have an institution as large, experienced, and influential as Expedia acknowledge Toledo as a top destination is truly an honor,” said Carla Nowak, President and CEO of Destination Toledo. “Living and working here, you already know everything there is to do. But now a whole new group of people are exposed to Toledo and the recreational activities that make our city perfect for families of all sizes to come here and make their memories.”

Newest exhibit takes flight at Imagination Station Grab your boarding pass - it’s time to earn your wings during a visit to Imagination Station’s newest permanent exhibit.

The interactive flight simulator, “Flight: The Sky’s the Limit” opened to the public on March 17.

The flight simulator experience takes visitors to new heights as they test their aviation skills at the controls of a Saab 340 jet. Before flying the friendly skies, visitors will learn about the science of flight and the variety of STEM careers available in aviation.

“As the number of passenger and cargo flights continues to climb, so does the demand for highly skilled and well-trained aviation experts,” said Sloan Eberly Mann, Director of Education at Imagination Station. “We are fortunate to have Toledo Express and Detroit Metro Airports in close proximity – and as a result, there are many opportunities for those seeking aviation careers right here in our region.”

The aircraft was donated and customized by presenting sponsor Toledo Jet, with support from students from Toledo Public Schools’ Aviation Center. Students prepared the cabin by disassembling the jet, removing electronics and hardware, and constructing the simulator base in preparation for science center visitors.

“When first approached by David Corwin, owner of Toledo Jet, to determine if we had any interest to be involved with this project, our response was ‘we’re all in!’ In addition to aviation, our program stresses the importance of community service and this has been a fantastic journey for our students to give back.

They gained valuable practical experience and

received the opportunity to help create an attraction that can be utilized by youth and possibly spark the interest in our next generation of aircraft pilots and technicians.” said Brad McDonald, TPS Aviation maintenance technology instructor.

Twelve Toledo Jet aviation mechanics invested more than 1,000 hours in rebuilding the cabin to accommodate the simulator computer hardware and other devices and provide room for visitors to enter and exit the cockpit safely.

The new exhibit is truly a labor of love for Corwin, who became interested in airplanes in eighth grade when he visited the TPS Aviation Program, then Macomber Vocational Technical High School.

His wish is to inspire the same interest in Imagination Station visitors.

“I hope this exhibit helps kids realize that an aviation career is not an impossible dream. It’s within reach right here in Toledo,” Corwin said. “The education needed to work in the aviation industry, whether it be a pilot or mechanic, is readily available at TPS, and a student can graduate from high school and be immediately employable by the aviation industry.”

Imagination Station is open 10 a.m.5 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday and noon-5 p.m.

Sundays. The science center will be open Monday, April 2, for spring break. Lucas County residents receive $1.50 discount and free Saturday admission for kids 12 and under with paid adult admission.

For more information, visit imaginationstationtoledo.org or call 419-244-2674.

New Metatron release: “Day of Annihilation” Yesterday, more than two million people were killed, including the President of the United States. The death toll is the worst in the history of America and the world.

This tragic day will be known forevermore as “The Day of Annihilation.”

The CIA has the sole person responsible for the killing of millions and millions of innocent people in custody. His name is Tyler Thompson – a moral person turned evil.

The question foremost on everyone’s mind is, why did he orchestrate this horrific act of terror and how did he pull it off?

This headline is fake news – or is it?

“In his new release, “Metatron: Dagger of Mortality,” local science fiction/fantasy author Laurence St. John creates an uplifting and inspiring fiction novel that “sustains constant action as 15-year-old Tyler struggles to stop the relentless animosity of a demonic figure and his accomplice. Sometimes you need to go backwards to move forward,” said Piers Anthony, New York Times bestselling fantasy Author of the Xanth series.

St. John, from Genoa, quickly grabs the reader’s attention then poses the ultimate question: Can superheroes really be killed?

Who is this Black Shadow character and who does he want to get revenge from?

Tyler must execute the most grueling choice of his life – save himself, save his beloved girlfriend Kendall or save millions of helpless people.

In this his third action-adventure, set in New York, Nevada and Massachusetts, St. John keeps readers turning the pages up to the last adrenaline-filled moment when Tyler’s fate is determined.

Among the reviews St. John has received for his newest work are: “Metatron – Dagger of Mortality, by Laurence St. John sustains constant action as 15-year-old Tyler struggles to stop the relentless animosity of a demonic figure and his accomplice! Sometimes you need to go backwards to move forward…”

Antietam is a humbling, fascinating place to visit It is one thing to read about the American Civil War Battle of Antietam, and quite another to stand on the battlefield, survey the rolling rural Maryland countryside and let it sink in that on this relatively small piece of land – just over five square miles – over 100,000 Union and Confederate soldiers clashed, and in the bloodbath, nearly one-fourth of them died.

More soldiers died that day than on any other day in American history.

Antietam is a National Battlefield now, a unit of the National Park Service, and it is a humbling, fascinating, emotional place to visit.

The setting is beautifully serene, just as it would have been just before Sept. 17, 1862. It’s an easy place to imagine and learn what it must have been like.

“Such a storm of balls I never conceived it possible for men to live through,” said Confederate Lt. Col A.S. “Sandie” Pendleton. “Shot and shell shrieking and crashing, canister and bullets whistling and hissing most fiend-like through the air until you could almost see them. In that mile’s ride I never expected to come back alive.”

Bloody. The word is used virtually everywhere in descriptions of the battle, in the crudely equipped hospitals that tended to the tens of thousands of wounded, in countless letters sent home, in commander’s journals. In the wake of the battle, the word even became part of the landscape. Bloody Cornfield and Bloody Lane in the heart of the battlefield are sadly appropriate names.

Tales of valor and glory are told against a background of the horrors.

“The truth is, when bullets are whacking against tree trunks and solid shot are cracking skulls like eggshells, the consuming passion in the breast of the average man is to get out of the way,” said Pvt. David L. Thompson, Company G, 9th New York Volunteers.

For visitors, an auto tour of the battlefield with occasional stops at key features is a must. But first, stop at the battlefield’s visitor center. The battle was compact with an ebb and flow that’s complicated to absorb. The presentation in the center’s glass-walled theater with an extraordinary view of the battlefield is eye-opening and perfectly sets the stage for a tour.

A stop at Sunken Road, known since the battle as Bloody Lane, is a must, with a story of savage fighting and bravery in the face of almost certain death.

More than 5,000 men died at the one site in a mere several hours of battle.

Union troops gained a position of advantage over some 2,000 Confederate soldiers

Visitors stroll down the Sunken Lane, commonly called Bloody Lane, in the wake of the Civil War Battle of Antietam. Thousands of Confederate troops were pinned there and both sides suffered staggering casualties. It’s a very moving experience to walk this site and visualize what happened there.

Walking the site of that road, following a dirt path that runs four-to-six feet below banks to either side topped with snaked split-rail fence, it’s impossible not to feel the weight of the loss of life and to visualize the slaughter and the bodies of soldiers that laid like cordwood, filing the

There are many attractions and points of interest in the area, making it an ideal destination for a long weekend, or more.

Harper’s Ferry, Shepherdstown, and Charles Town are all interesting cities with rich history and attractions.

Detroit Tigers fans, there is optimism in skipper’s voice

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com If you listen to new manager Ron Gardenhire talk about the Detroit Tigers, you’ll hear the optimism in the new skipper’s voice when he discusses the possibilities that lie ahead for his club.

Despite having traded the likes of Justin Verlander, Justin Upton, Ian Kinsler and Alex Avila in the last year, Detroit still has some quality players on its roster, and that’s what has Gardenhire hopeful about what the upcoming season will bring.

Gardenhire joined outfielder Mikie Mahtook, first-base coach Ramon Santiago and Vice President of Player Development Dave Littlefield in visiting Toledo to talk about the state of the team and what the expectations are heading into the 2018 season.

Mahtook, who is coming off a good season that saw him hit .276 while driving in 38 runs in 109 games, says the club’s mindset is where it needs to be.

“I think anything is possible for us.

People are kind of counting us out. We are embracing that as a team. I think we have a lot of young guys that are good and have got a lot of experience under our belt; we’re really talented,” said Mahtook.

“People on the outside are discrediting us. I think we’re going to win a lot more games than people think. The chemistry inside the clubhouse is there. The group of young guys we have, we feed off each other, and I think it’s going to be a fun clubhouse, especially with Gardy here. We’re getting to know him and learn how he likes to manage.”

The Tigers won just 64 games last year and were forced to trade some of their best players. How those newly acquired players develop in the minor leagues will be key to the future success of the club.

Third baseman Jeimer Candelario, who came over from Chicago in the Justin Wilson-Alex Avila trade, played well in limited action last year, hitting .330 and finishing with an OPS of .874. His presence could result in Nick Castellanos moving to right field permanently. The Tigers also acquired three high-level prospects in the deal that sent Justin Verlander to Houston, getting pitcher Franklin Perez, outfielder Daz Cameron and catcher Jake Rogers.

“It’s clearly very important (how prospects develop). As a whole, all your prospects are important, and we’re kind of transitioning to an emphasis of drafting our own players and developing them, and using that as the focal point of our foundation for the future. The ones we’ve got in trades are important, but I would group them in with the (prospects) we already have. We need to work to help them develop,” Littlefield said, adding that the Tigers are making a promise to keep the Toledo Mud Hen’s roster strong, too.

“It’s extremely important to have a good situation in Triple A. We’ve got a great fan base here, the front office and ownership groups are fantastic. It’s important for the players to get ready for the next step,” the Detroit player development boss said.

When the season started Friday hosting the Pittsburgh Pirates, the depth chart likely featured Mahtook in left field, Leonys Martin in center and Castellanos in right field with Candelario at third base, Jose Iglesias at shortstop, Dixon Machado at second baseball and first baseman Miguel Cabrera manning the infield.

The Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera ”goes yard” when he was in Toledo for an exhibition game. (Press file photo by Scott Grau) James McCann will start at catcher and Victor Martinez will be the designated hitter. Michael Fulmer, a Cy Young candidate, is the top pitcher with fellow youngsters Daniel Norris and Matt Boyd, veteran Jordan Zimmerman and newly acquired Mike Fiers rounding out the rotation.

Gardenhire managed the Minnesota Twins for 13 seasons from 2002-14 and took them to the playoffs six times. He was named the American League Manager of the Year in 2010 and finished as the runner-up for the award five times during a stretch that saw Minnesota regularly contend for a spot in the postseason. His career record is 1,068-1,039. Before becoming manager of the Twins, Gardenhire was a bench coach with the club for 11 seasons before being promoted.

“I have respect for the organization.

Playing here as an opposing manager, I can see how much love this area has (for the Tigers). (Former Tigers manager and Perrysburg native) Jim Leyland told me if you get a chance to manage here, you’ll love this place,” said Gardenhire.

“Tom Kelly taught me a lot about baseball. Joe Torre was my manager and seeing how they stayed calm and handled the game was something (I took from them).

These guys are in the big leagues and they are hungry — we’re going to play the game and show respect to the game. We’re going to come and work our butts off. These guys are baseball players. You’ve just got to make sure they’re on the right path.”

After winning MAC title, Stencel gets shot at NCAA field Beware an angry Matt Stencel.

Stencel (Clay), a Central Michigan redshirt freshman, pinned Eastern Michigan’s Gage Hutchison in the first period to win the 285-pound title at the Mid-American Conference Wrestling Championships at McGuirk Arena.

Stencel’s victory, capping a 3-0 tournament run, highlighted the weekend for CMU, which finished second behind powerhouse Missouri in the eight-team field.

Stencel, who has 16 pins this season, earned a spot in the NCAA Division I Championships at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.

At the MAC Championships, Stencel finished off the second-seeded Hutchison in 1:10 one day after he upset top-seed and defending league champion Jake Gunning of Buffalo, 2-1, in overtime. Stencel, who was seeded fifth, opened the tournament with a pin in 1:07 of Kent State’s Stephen Suglio, the No. 4 seed.

“I think he was kind upset they seeded him fifth because he was the highestranked guy coming into the tournament in the coaches poll,” CMU coach Tom Borrelli said. “He had already (pinned) Hutchison in our dual meet (with Eastern).

I don’t know how he got seeded fifth. I can’t figure that out. I think it motivated him. I think it was a slap in the face to him.

“He’s learning to be consistent and he’s a freshman, so he’s up and down,” Borrelli continued. “He’s learned all year long and this is the right time for him to be wrestling well.”

Missouri won seven of the 10 weight classes in capturing its sixth consecutive MAC Championships title with 177 points.

The Chippewas were second with 125, followed by Eastern Michigan (120½), Kent State (98), Ohio (84½), Buffalo (81), Old Dominion (80), and Northern Illinois (78).

“I’ll be honest with you, for us to have won this tournament it would have been a stretch with where Missouri is right now, being the third-ranked team in the country,” Borrelli said. “They’ve got a really good team. For us to win it would have been a stretch, but that’s the goal, to be as good as them.

“We were in a dogfight with every team

At the NCAA tournament, Stencel, who was seeded 16th, lost 8-3 to Campbell’s Jere Heino in his opening match and then was pinned by Ryan Solomon of Pitt in a consolation match. Stencel finished the season 28-15. (— By Andy Sneddon/ CMUChippewas.com)

After historic season, Rockets hope to go even further

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com After coming within one game of reaching the state final four, Oak Harbor softball returns this spring with seven returning starters. The Rockets are 5-2 after playing five games in Florida last week.

Last year’s team won the program’s first-ever district championship and finished as regional runners-up, losing to Lagrange Keystone 2-0 in the Division II regional final. The Rockets finished 292, the most wins in school history, and were ranked fourth in D-II. They won the Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division with a 14-0 record.

Coach Chris Rawski (120-56) is beginning his seventh year as head coach, all of them at Oak Harbor. He has eight returning starters, which doesn’t include two who are already injured and out indefinitely. Plus, he has four new potential starters who he is excited about.

“This team has tremendous enthusiasm for the game and for each other,” Rawski said. “They work very hard at being great players all-year round. This team has a great mix of veteran and incoming talent.

We are looking to contend for an SBC title and make a worthy tournament run.”

Returning starters include third-year varsity junior Olivia Jensen (.256 BA, 23 hits, 17 runs, 15 RBIs, three doubles, one home run), who will move from first base to catcher. She was an honorable mention All-SBC selection at first base last year.

At pitcher is fourth-year senior Ashley Riley (.481 BA, 50 H, 14 R, 35 RBIs, 13 2B, 1 3B, 5 HR; 183.1 innings pitched, 29-1 win-loss record, 312 strikeouts and an 0.76 ERA). Riley was SBC Player of the Year last year and earned first team All-SBC and first team all-district as a pitcher in 2016 and 2017 and second team All-SBC at first base in 2015. She was first team All-Ohio last year and second team two years ago.

Infielders returning are junior Kaytlynn Sandwisch (.446 BA, 45 H, 23 R, 31 RBIs, 11 2B, 3 3B, 1 HR) at shortstop, junior Dani Epling (.330 BA, 32 H, 23 R, 26 RBIs, 9 2B,

Epling was a second team All-SBC third baseman last year and second team All-SBC designated player two years ago.

Sandwisch was an honorable mention alldistrict infielder and HM All-SBC shortstop last year, and HM All-SBC at first base in 2016. Rahm was HM All-SBC at second base last year.

Petersen was an honorable mention All-SBC outfielder in 2016, second team All-SBC in 2015 and 2017, and HM alldistrict in 2016. Lenke was a first team AllSBC and second team all-district outfielder last year. Lenke has signed to softball at the University of Northwest Ohio, an NAIA school.

New starters include freshman Taylor

Lemaster at first base, junior Abby Gregg and freshman Lauren St. Clair at outfield and designated player, and junior Chloe Roosen at catcher, first base and DP. Roosen transferred from Fremont Ross and will be eligible to play after the 13th regular season game. She was an honorable mention All-Three Rivers Athletic Conference catcher in both 2016 and 2017.

The two injured players, both out for the time being with ACL injuries, are sophomore Jazmyn Jefferson and junior Chelsea Rathbun.

Two of last year’s graduated players are competing collegiately this year. Four-year starter Maddy Rathbun, a catcher, is now at NCAA Division II Hillsdale College and another four-year starter, outfielder Emma Bergman, is at NCAA D-II Ohio Dominican.

The Rockets opened the season with an 11-1 and 12-2 doubleheader sweep at Genoa. In the opener, Riley allowed no earned runs, one hit, struck out three and walked seven. Petersen went 2-for-2 with a double and four RBIs and Riley also went 2-for-2 with a double.

In the second game, Riley allowed one earned run, struck out two and walked three in two innings and Lemaster allowed one earned run, struck out and walked one in three innings. Sandwisch and St. Clair both doubled and Rahm went 3-for-3 with three RBIs. St. Clair scored four runs and had two RBIs. Oak Harbor opened the Florida trip with a 4-3 10-inning victory over East Chapel Hill, defeated Morgantown (W. Va.), 6-1, lost to Immaculate Conception (Ill.), 1310, and lost to Ashwaubenon (Wisc.), 4-1.

St. Clair went 2-for-5 with the gamewinning RBI against East Chapel Hill, Riley had a two-run homer against Morgantown, Lenke went 4-for-5 with a double, four RBIs and scored two runs against Immaculate Conception, and St. Clair went 1-for-3 with an RBI against Ashwaubenon.

The Rockets finished their spring trip defeating University School 11-9 in eight innings. Jensen went 2-for-5, scored a run, had three RBIs, and had the game-winning two RBI hit in the eighth. Riley got the win to improve to 5-1 on the season.

Cherokees rooted in east of the river hockey talent senting Genoa on the Toledo Cherokee.

“When people talk sports in my community, they want to talk about football, basketball, and baseball, and they don’t really know of the successful hockey players who have come from Genoa, or gone to Genoa Schools, because there have only been a select few,” Williams says. “Yes, there’s been support, like from my neighbors, who let me use their driveway anytime to shoot pucks, and my friends from Genoa, who come out and watch me play.

“I just hope to see more hockey players grow up in our area,” Williams continues.

“Then, more people can understand hockey in my community.”

The Toledo Cherokees junior hockey program traces its roots back 27 years, has five Huster Cups, one 1998 USA Hockey national championship, and counts players as former Bowling Green State University/ Toledo Storm forward and 1997 New York Islanders draft pick Adam Edinger among its esteemed alumni.

The Cherokees draw top talent between the ages of 15-20 from all over Toledo, Southeast Michigan, Detroit, Cleveland, and points beyond.

In addition, the Cherokees, which play home games at the Team Toledo Ice House on Alexis Road, have players from Oregon, Northwood, Lake Township, and Genoa.

Meet defenseman Blake Mullins, forwards Tristin Snyder and Caleb Williams, and goaltender Devon Bobak. They are the latest players from east of the Maumee River.

“I’m very proud to be carrying on the hockey tradition from the area east of the Maumee River,” offers Mullins, a 21-yearold graduate of Clay High and recent alumnus of the Cherokees.

Mullins played his last game with the team on March 10. He reflects on the legacy of suiting up in Cherokee red, white, and black forged by, among others, Northwood’s Tyler Zalecki and David Bogart, today with the Eastern Michigan University hockey program.

“I can remember watching Bryan Smolinski, who is from Genoa, and who graduated from Cardinal Stritch right here in Oregon, play in the NHL for the LA Kings and Ottawa Senators,” Mullins adds.

“I feel that hockey is growing in our area, and that more young players are joining ‘Learn-to-Play’ organizations, and being developed into very good hockey players every year,” he says. “There is a lot of talent that comes from our area, it’s just not known. During my time in juniors, I’ve always been fortunate to have played with other hockey players from this area.

Williams, a 17-year-old Genoa High senior, adds, “I take a lot of pride in repre-

Skills and intangibles What their teammates, sixth-year Cherokee head coach Kenny Miller, and hockey fans who frequent the team’s NA3HL (North American Tier III Hockey League) games at the Ice House have long since understood are just what skills and intangibles Mullins, Snyder, Williams, and Bobak are bringing to the Toledo area’s hockey tradition.

For instance, six-foot, 175 pound center Tristin Snyder, who played his last game with the Cherokee this past March, is a legitimate triple-threat. The 20-yearold Snyder led the team in points (36) in 2017-18, including 14 goals and 22 assists, and according to amateur hockey scouting website, neutralzone.net, piled up a very respectable 46 tallies over his memorable four-year career A grinder with a high motor who is more of a lead-by-example kind of guy, Snyder’s work ethic also earned him the captaincy this past season, all of which led his coach to say, “Tristin is everything in a player a coach asks for. He shows up every day. He brings it. He’s the hardest working kid I’ve ever coached. If you had 20 Tristin Snyders, you wouldn’t lose many games.”

Mullins, a 6-1, 180 pound defenseman, plays a vastly different kind of game than Snyder. He scored four goals and notched nine assists for 13 points this past season, calling himself more of “a stay-at-home defenseman” who “may not be the guy put-

ting up all the points on the scoreboard,” but definitely “the guy who’s going to stop the other team from scoring.”

Says Miller of his gritty longtime blue liner? “Blake’s first year, he was a guy who was in and out of our lineup, and then turned into a very solid defenseman who played a regular shift for us for three seasons. Blake has been a pleasure to coach, and it’s been fun watching him grow into a solid young man over the years.”

Williams is following in the tracks of another local alum of the Cherokee program — Curtice’s Grant Meyer, who attended Genoa High School as a freshman and sophomore and just completed his freshman season at forward for the Canisius College Golden Griffins.

Williams, a 5-10, 160 pound speedy, ev-

er-attacking winger/center, unlike Mullins and Snyder, will be back in a Cherokee sweater next year looking to build upon his four goal, five assist performance.

“Caleb scored some big goals for us this year,” shares Miller, “and I am hoping with the experience he gained, it will lead to bigger and better things next year. I am confident he can score 15 to 20 goals for us next season.”

Joining in is rookie goaltender Devon Bobak, a 16-year-old Lake High School sophomore.

Bobak spent much of the past season getting in daily practice reps and learning behind veteran starting goalie Ricardo Gonzalez, but he did see limited action in a couple of games. At 6-1, 180, Bobak is a bigger goaltender with good size and range to protect the net. Miller calls his first-year backstop “a guy we think will be a big part of our team next season.”

How much have the Toledo Cherokee’s “East of the River Boys” enjoyed playing for one of their very own in Coach Kenny Miller throughout their junior careers?

The owner of a winning lifetime record of 141-129-13 with his team through half a dozen seasons -this past season was the first season the Cherokee didn’t make the playoffs in several years. Miller grew up in East Toledo. He played travel hockey at the now-razed Toledo Sports Arena on Main Street as a boy and today, he and his family call Oregon home.

“The best thing about playing for Coach Kenny Miller is his dedication to the team,” allows Snyder, who started playing hockey at the tender age of four, and after an eight-year run with the Sylvania Maple Leafs, finally caught on with the Cherokee organization by way of the U16 team. “Kenny has a life of his own, but he chooses to spend it coaching, and being at the rink Monday thru Saturday.

“Kenny has been the greatest coach I’ve ever played for,” he adds. “He recruited me to play for his team, and he’s taught me many lessons, from hockey to life, that I will use in the future. He has always pushed me to do my best, and I couldn’t thank him enough.”

From left to right: the Rutherfords — Craig, Bryce, Jerry, Bud, Jack, Jeff and Eric.

Rutherfords honored at banquet The Toledo Wistert Chapter of the National Football Foundation dedicated the 56th Annual Scholar-Athlete Banquet on March 19 at the SeaGate Centre to the Rutherford family of Eastwood.

University of Toledo football coach Jason Candle was the keynote speaker.

Jerry Rutherford found his home at Eastwood High School in 1981 and coached there for 35 years, compiling a 220-140 record with 10 league championships and 10 state playoff appearances. He is the longest tenured football coach in Eastwood history.

All his sons played football for Jerry, and have played a part in the program since. Jerry says he will most remember the relationships he built with his players, assistant coaches, and all of the people he came in contact with over the years.

Craig Rutherford, Jerry’s oldest son, was hired as the head coach at Eastwood in 2017, after he retired. He played tight end under his father for four varsity seasons (2002-05), and went on to letter three times as the long snapper at Bowling Green State University (2006-09).

Craig was the defensive coordinator at Eastwood for seven seasons before being named as the head coach. During his first

year, Craig guided Eastwood to a 14-1 record, Northern Buckeye Conference championship, regional championship, and the state title game, a first for Eastwood.

Coach Rutherford is a math teacher at Anthony Wayne JH. He is married to Megan and they have a son Brice (2).

Eric Rutherford played quarterback and defensive back at Eastwood and went on to play at Baldwin-Wallace College where Jerry and Jerry’s father also graduated. Eric is currently teaching eighth grade science at Eastwood Middle School and has been an assistant coach at Eastwood for five seasons. Eric continues to coach with Craig.

Jeff Rutherford, the youngest son, played offensive and defensive line and was an all-district punter. While Jeff is the only Rutherford that did not pursue a degree in teaching, his dedication and pride in the football program and the Eastwood community is strong.

While in college Jeff was able to coach for two years. He has volunteered hundreds of hours, mowing and painting the fields. It has often been said by opponents and officials that the grass field looked like turf.

All three boys have married and live in the Eastwood Community.
