Oregon Schools change policy after Vicars incident By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com The announcement last month that a renowned football coach turned down the head football coaching position at Clay High School has left the Oregon Board of Education scrambling to find another coach to fill the position. Mike Vicars, who led Delta and Genoa high schools to state playoffs, including two state semifinal appearances, was hired by the district to lead the Eagles. Vicars was also hired as the assistant principal at Fassett Middle School, where he would have also served as the school’s athletic director. On April 19, Vicars told Superintendent Dr. Michael Zalar that he would not be accepting the position. According to P.J. Kapfhammer, school board president, Vicars applied for a middle school principal position in the PikeDelta-York district, where he led the Panthers to the Division IV state semifinals in 2003. Vicars, it turned out, had not signed his contract for the $90,000-a-year position in Oregon. Delta High School, where Vicars coached for eight years, currently does not have a head football coach. Currently, Oregon is “going backwards,” Kapfhammer said. “We are re-doing the search. We want someone who wants to work with the Green and Gold. We want someone who wants the job because it is a passion. We want someone who, on Friday nights, is proud to wear green and gold.” Kapfhammer said the district has posted the position internally for a week and has since posted an ad for the position externally. “When he (Vicars) did not take the job, we had to post the job internally for a week,” Kapfhammer said. “The job has been posted externally. We must post internally first. We have to follow the rules. I don’t like the process, but it is the process we have to follow. We are not going to rush and get the wrong guy. We want to get someone who will be here longer than three months.” The district will also have to find someone to take the assistant principal position at Fassett, he said. “I have said it before and I will say it again, Vicars was the perfect hire,” Kapfhammer said. “Vicars was a great coach and he had his administration license. I am not sure we will be able to find someone who

Vandalism a problem at Genoa park By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press Genoa village police are stepping up patrols to combat vandalism at Veterans Memorial Park. The busy summer season is days away but problems have already erupted in large doses as warmer weather sets in. “We’ve had some vandalism, some cavorting in the park,” Village Administrator Kevin Gladden said. “… They are destroying playground equipment, building huts in the woods and we’ve found all sorts of paraphernalia lying around.” Maintenance crews report someone is pulling branches off new saplings planted throughout the public park and knocking signs off fences at the ball park. Even the new pirate ship made of recycled materials purchased through a partnership with the village and the O-S-S Solid Waste District has fallen victim to the vandalism spree. “They tore the ladder off of it,” Gladden said. “It’s disheartening because this is for the kids,” Police Chief Bob Bratton said of

the park equipment damaged throughout the area. “I’m not sure what has gotten into them this year. They are being so destructive.” Veterans Park is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. But the summer season doesn’t officially start until Memorial Day weekend. That’s when the quarry opens for swimming, picnic tables are pulled from storage and the bathrooms are unlocked. “That’s when we’ll also start having some other problems. They plug up the toilets, try to pull the partitions off between the bathrooms,” Gladden said. Authorities say they believe the culprits are between 13 and 17 years old. Similar vandalism happened in the spring and summer of 2012, causing police to suspend access to the park for those involved for the rest of the year. There is no proof that those involved last year are to blame this time around though, Bratton pointed out. “We’ll just have to be vigilant with our patrols and see what happens,” the chief said. In recent weeks, village workers have

torn down two makeshift huts constructed in the park’s woods. They’ve also cleaned up the junk strewn about including condoms, cigarette packages and food wrappers as well as fire pits. At the same time, police increased their car and foot patrols around the park. “They will be getting out of the car more and walking around the park. You need to do that at some parts of the park to really see what’s going on. And we’ll be doing it at varying hours,” Bratton said. “No one should really be in there after dusk.” Late night visitors could be slapped with a citation for violating the village code regarding the park hours, the chief said. A second violation could result in a criminal trespassing charge. Still others could face littering or curfew violations. Teens age 16 and below are supposed to be off Genoa streets by 10 p.m. Seventeen-year-olds have until 11 p.m. to get home. “We try to work with people,” Bratton said. “In some cases it’s obvious that people are just running a little late and they aren’t up to anything.”

Compassion Garden

Walbridge woman wins $25,000 on T.V. Fans of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” got a chance to see Kimberly Oberhaus, an administrative assistant at the Toledo Museum of Art, from Walbridge, on the Wednesday, May 8 show. Kimberly made it all the way up to her $250,000 question. She unfortunately provided an incorrect answer, however, and bypassed the option of not answering the question. If she had walked away from the game, she could have taken home her entire Millionaire Bank, which had risen to $53,600. She was still able to leave the show with $25,000 in winnings. Here’s the question that stumped her: “If updating the Monopoly board to re-

flect current Atlantic City locations, what $240 property should actually be called “Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard”? A: Vermont Avenue; B: Tennessee Avenue; C: Illinois Avenue; D: Kentucky Avenue. Kimberly guessed the answer to be “B,” but unfortunately the correct answer was “C.” Because Kimberly made it into the second round of the game (questions 11-14), “Millionaire” donated $10,000 to benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. All week long (May 6-10), “Millionaire” raised money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, donating $10,000 to the organization each time a contestant makes

it into the second round of the game (questions 11-14), also known as Classic Millionaire. The week-long initiative culminated with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb playing “Millionaire” as a two-person team on Friday, May 10 and donating all of their winnings to CMN Hospitals. The daughter of the late Donald and Joan Oberhaus, Kimberly is a 1980 graduate of Lake High School. Her brother Gary accompanied her to New York City for the taping, and sat in the “Millionaire” audience as her on-air companion for the show. “Millionaire,” hosted by Meredith Vieira, can be seen locally in the Toledo area on 13abc (WTVG) weekdays at 12:30 p.m.

Volunteers are needed to help with the Compassion Garden Project Sunday, May 19. The project is a non-profit organization with a mission to provide nutritional food to families in need throughout Lake Township. The garden site is located on Lemoyne Road next to the old Highway Patrol building. Volunteers will be needed from 5 p.m. until dark. Wear old clothes and bring any small gardening tools. For more information, call Kimberly Boos at 419-960-1361 or Melanie Lutman at 419-290-1775.

Vehicle owner ID’d

Curtain coming down on former theatre

The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department has identified the driver of a vehicle believed to be involved in the reported attempted abduction of a 9year-old girl in the Curtice area of Allen Township. Det. Amanda Cross said Wayne A. Parsil, who lives near the site of incident, is the driver and has admitted to often stopping in the area to get a can of beer from the backseat when returning home from work. Parsil told authorities he looked up and saw the girl, who appeared to be scared and possibly crying. He thought the girl was lost and then saw a woman running toward her. He proceeded to his residence and told authorities he delayed coming forward because he had alcohol in the vehicle and didn’t have a valid driver’s license. A suspect hasn’t been identified in a second report of a suspicious person in the area but Parsil isn’t believed to be connected to that incident.

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A contractor is scheduled to be in the Village of Woodville this week to inspect a building on Main Street for asbestos – the first step in demolishing the building. Mayor Richard Harman last week confirmed the village is completing the acquisition of the building and property at 129 Main and said officials have begun discussing plans for the site, including constructing a walk-way between Main and a village-owned parking area that sits behind the building. “Hopefully, we can proceed with demolition sometime soon,” the mayor said. “We will be discussing plans with council and the Woodville Business Association, which has money left over from the Downtown Streetscape Project from a few years ago.”

Volunteers sought Black Swamp Conservancy is seeking volunteers Saturday, May 18 to help transform a 60-acre field into a nature preserve. Individuals, families, scout troops, community groups and businesses are invited to help with phase one of the project, which includes planting 2,000 trees at the new Water’s Edge Preserve, located about 15 miles south of Fremont. Contact Sarah sbrokamp@blackswamp. org or call 419-872-5263.

He said the village has set aside funds for the demolition of the building and estimated the WBA has about $17,000 to help with the project. Although the building has housed several businesses over the years, its claim to local fame is that of a popular movie theatre. According to a history of the village compiled by the Woodville Historical Society, Paul Pontius constructed the theatre, which opened Nov. 15, 1939 with the name “The Limelite of Movieland.” A capacity crowd on opening night watched a film called “The Under Pup,” starring Gloria Jean, who wasn’t even yet a teenager when the film was made. The 450-seat theatre was open seven nights a week and offered Saturday and Sunday matinees. “We couldn’t wait for it to open,” Doris Hoesman, a volunteer with the Woodville Historical Society, said of the theatre. “We would come home from school and run over to see how it was coming along.” The names and colors of area sports teams were featured in the theatre’s décor. Mike O’Connor, president of the historical society, can recall one of the first movies he saw at the Limelite as a youth. “It was an evening movie, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and it scared the heebie-jeebies out of me,” he said. “Then I had to walk home and it was after dark. Something was behind every tree all the way home.”

The historical society last year used a photo of the Limelite from the 1940s for its annual Christmas ornament that it produces as a fundraiser. Several businesses have occupied space in the theatre, including Fern’s’ Beauty Shoppe, The Beaute Mirror, Nationwide Insurance, The Spotlite Soda Grill, the Woodville News, and the Temple of Light Ministry, which was also a furniture store. George Wakely bought the theater in the 1950s and began offering Spanish-language films twice a week to appeal to migrant workers. Al Tolento and later Marciano Guerrero, Jr. took over the theatre, offering more Spanish films. The last film was shown in the early 1980s. Records in the Sandusky County auditor’s office indicate the property was sold to the Temple of Light Ministries for $37,000 in July 2005. The seller is listed as “unknown.” Despite the building’s ties to the village’s earlier years, even a history buff like O’Connor isn’t too sentimental about the pending demolition. “It’s in such terrible shape,” he said. “It almost looks like it is going to fall down.” O’Connor will represent the historical society, which operates a museum on Main Street, when the business association meets with village officials to complete plans for the site.

Randall Ross charged The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department has taken Randall Ross into custody and charged him with aggravated murder for the March 27 shooting death of his wife, Amy. Ross shot himself twice in the head March 27 after allegedly shooting his wife, who had been staying with her sister in Carroll Salem Township.

Oregon Schools change policy after Vicars incident Continued from front page

Change of policy Jeff Ziviski, a board member, said the district has changed its hiring policy in the wake of the Vicars debacle. “The decision by coach Vicars to not accept our offer to be Clay’s next football coach and middle school assistant principal caught everyone off-guard,” Ziviski said. “We have changed our process for offering contracts to prospective employees. Now they have two weeks to come into the board office and sign the employment contract. If they fail to do so, the offer is rescinded.” Ziviski added the district is now trying to recover and move forward. “As a district we are trying to build

will be able to fill all of the positions that Vicars was to fill.” In the meantime, Clay’s assistant coaches are still running the weight training program for the players, Kapfhammer said. “The coaches who were doing the workout are still doing it,” he said. “The players are with coaches they have worked with for years. We have staff in place who have picked up the ball.” According to Zalar, the football team was to have a meeting last week for the first time since Vicars left. Members of the football team were informed of their coach’s departure through a group text from Vicars. “We continue to work through the process of hiring a head varsity football coach for Clay High School,” Zalar said. “The athletic director has scheduled a meeting to update the players on the status of the search process. The assistant coaching staff continues to manage the day-to-day interactions with the players, such as weight lifting and conditioning activities.” Zalar went on to say the hiring committee is interviewing internal applicants first and then, if necessary, they will broaden the search and interview external candidates. “It is our hope that the position will be filled by the end of the school year so the summer schedule can be in place before the students leave school,” Zalar said. “We are committed to finding and hiring the best qualified person for the position as soon as we can.”

our programs to be the best in the area, and to have individuals back away from their commitments leaves the district trying to catch up,” Ziviski said. “In this particular situation, the only people that are truly affected are the student athletes. They were under the impression they were going to be playing for a coach that knew how to win, one that has had the taste of success. They were excited. “It was going to be a new era for Clay football,” he added. “Then coach Vicars walked away from those kids. Personally, I don’t know how someone could do that. Where I am from and the way my parents taught me is that you have to be a man of your word; no one will respect you if they can’t trust you.” Ziviski said that across the country, coaches have been known to up and leave when a better job is offered. “The sad part is that coaches walk away from verbal commitments every day at all levels,” he said “You see it in college sports all the time. A team hires a new coach, maybe signs a five- to 10-year deal, goes out and recruits a bunch of talented athletes and then gets a better job and walks away.” “That is exactly what happened here,” Ziviski continued. “Coach Vicars walked away from a commitment to our kids for a better opportunity. I feel bad for our kids, but the truth is, that is not the type of role model and mentor we want around our district leading our kids. Our kids deserve much better. We are in the process of finding our next football coach, but let’s be honest, Vicars left us high and dry and now we

are scrambling to repair the damage he has caused. In the end, we will have a new football coach, and that person will be someone these players can look up to and someone that will run the program with class and integrity.” Ziviski said he believed with this challenge, the Eagles’ will rise to the occasion and be a better team because of it. “Again, for the players, I feel horrible, but this creates an opportunity for leaders to emerge,” he said. “Our seniors can step up and be leaders. I think in the end, when all the pieces are in place, this is the type of situation that bonds a team together and carries them to greatness. Out of sheer determination and desire, I believe these athletes have something to prove. They don’t

need Vicars to be successful because they already have it in them. I truly believe in them.” Vicars told The Press in April, via email, there were issues with the contract dates. He said he was waiting for an extended-day contract before he signed. Vicars said the timing was just a coincidence. “My decision to resign was based solely on my personal assessment of the different skill sets required to lead a big-school program,” Vicars stated. “My experience has always been with smaller schools. I came to the realization that I was neither comfortable nor confident that I could make the transition to the big school.”

Board recognizes honesty of students who turned in money By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com During its April 16 meeting, the Oregon Board of Education recognized seven students who, throughout the school year, individually turned in money they found in a bus, hallways, playground and cafeteria at Jerusalem Elementary School. Principal Dean Ensey explained that the students, Jayden Auger, Madison Campbell, Katie Clark, Gage Glass, Emma Hansen, Orlo Horsley and Madison Maix, selflessly turned in money they had found. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A couple of them found $22 on the bottom floor of the school. One found $20, two found $5, one found $1 on the playground and another found $10 in the hallway,â&#x20AC;? said Ensey. The school looked for the rightful owners of the money, said Ensey, but it remained unclaimed. So the money was returned to the students who turned it in. The school also gave each student a certificate for ice cream from the cafeteria. The school board gave the students certificates celebrating their honesty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In school we teach lots of things,â&#x20AC;? Ensey said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We teach about academics, reading, math, and science, but honesty and integrity comes from home. We are honoring the students and the parents.â&#x20AC;? Ensey, who has spent 21 years as a principal at three different schools in the Oregon system, said students have, over the years, found money and turned it in. In this case, having seven students do the right thing in the same year was something he found extraordinary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talk about honesty and citizenship throughout the year,â&#x20AC;? Ensey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought that this was such an awesome thing, that seven of them had the integrity to turn that money in, that we had to do something for them. I thought we should make a point to other students in school that honesty and integrity is something we value. This really is a credit to the job their parents

Back, School Board President PJ Kapfhammer, Principal Dean Ensey, Superintendent Dr. Michael Zalar. have done, raising kids who are honest like that.â&#x20AC;? Oregon school board President P.J. Kapfhammer said after the meeting that some adults may not have been able to do the right thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is good to see kids who are honest,â&#x20AC;? Kapfhammer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the time, we forget how good kids really are.â&#x20AC;? Superintendent Dr. Michael Zalar said the students showed what good character really is about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so proud of the honesty these children demonstrated,â&#x20AC;? Zalar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would have been very easy to just put the money in their pockets and keep it.

Nobody would have ever known the difference. Instead, they chose to do the right thing and turn it into the office. That is what character is all about - doing the right thing when no one is looking.â&#x20AC;? Jeff Ziviski, board member, said the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; actions were a true testament that parents are still actively engaging their children at home and teaching them the tools they need to succeed in life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kudos to all of the children and their parents for doing the right thing,â&#x20AC;? Ziviski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a tremendous amount of success stories happening everyday in our schools, and this is just one of them. The fact that Mr. Ensey

took the time to recognize and honor these students and to bring them to our monthly board meeting so that the board could see the type of upstanding children that are coming through our schools says a lot about the type of leader he is at the school and the environment he creates. I am really proud of these children. They are the future of our world and I think we are in good hands.â&#x20AC;? Jamie Campbell, mother of Madison Campbell, 10, said she and her husband Kevin could not be more proud of their daughter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were also surprised. I did not know it happened until the school gave me the money she found to give to her. We try to raise kids with good morals. You just never know if they get it, if they heard what you told them until something like this happens,â&#x20AC;? said Campbell. For her part, Madison said her only thought when she found the money two months ago was to take it to the school office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It did not belong to me so I just gave it to the office,â&#x20AC;?

I was very pleased to find out she turned it in and was concerned for someone else.â&#x20AC;?

Proposed natural gas-fired electric plant unopposed in hearing By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A proposed natural gas-fired electric power plant in the City of Oregon received support from those who testified Wednesday during a hearing conducted by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency on the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft permit for air emissions. The economic benefits to the region from the $860 million project and the environmental advantages it would provide over facilities that burn coal were mentioned frequently during testimony. Mike Beazley, city administrator, said the new plant â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śis about the switch from old technology to new technology,â&#x20AC;? alluding to a coal-fired plant operated by FirstEnergy on BayShore Road that is being downsized. He said the developers behind the project are â&#x20AC;&#x153;tremendously reliable people to work with.â&#x20AC;? By some estimates, more than 2.5

megawatts of capacity of six gigawatts generated by coal that producers are planning to take offline in 2015 due to tighter environmental regulations are in FirstEnergyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service area. North America Project Development, LLC, through a subsidiary called Oregon Clean Energy, is proposing to build an 800megawatt plant on Lallendorf Road. In its air permit application, the company has included data on pollutant levels from two different types of turbines, Mitsubishi and Siemens. According to data filed with the EPA draft permit, emissions from the facility would include nitrogen oxide, (199 tons per year); carbon monoxide (378 TPY); volatile organic compounds (114 TPY); particulate matter of less than 10 microns (94 TPY); particulate matter of less than 2.5 microns (90 TPY); sulfur dioxide (34 TPY); sulfuric acid (11 TPY); lead (.00008 TPY) and greenhouse gases (2.8 million TPY).

All but the sulfur dioxide and lead emission levels are subject to what are called Prevention of Significant Deterioration levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Predicted impacts of carbon dioxide, particulate matter, nitrogen oxide were below their corresponding PSD significant impact increments so no additional modeling by Ohio EPA to demonstrate protection of both the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and PSD increments was required,â&#x20AC;? the draft permit says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Impacts of the toxic pollutants subject to the modeling review met the Maximum Allowable Ground Level Concentration.â&#x20AC;? James Seaman and Mike Sheehy, members of city council, said the abundance of natural gas presents a cost advantage for the proposed plant and the region has available skilled labor to build it. Mayor Mike Seferian testified he and Beazley toured a plant in Fremont constructed by another subsidiary of North America Project Development and in two

years have heard no negative comments about the project. Ron Eicholt, of Oak Harbor, said he agreed with much of the testimony but questioned what the effect would be on Lake Erie from the amount of water drawn to service the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooling tower system. A charter boat captain, Eicholt said sport fishing is a major industry between Cleveland and Toledo. William Martin, a managing partner of North America Project Development, said the plant would draw three to five million gallons of raw water daily from the lake, linking to a city main line before it is treated. Water that is discharged from the plant would be piped to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatment plant. Written comments on the draft permit must be sent by May 13 to Matt Stanfield, Toledo Division of Environmental Services, 348 S. Erie St., Toledo, O. 43602.

Past episodes can be viewed online at http://firstladies.c-span.org/ where a wealth of other resources is available. Weininger appears in recorded segments filmed on site at the Hayes Presidential Center on May 1. She shares intimate details of Lucy Hayes’ personal and public life, including the causes Lucy championed as the wife of a three-term Ohio governor and U.S. President. Viewers will be taken inside the newly restored Hayes mansion and the Hayes Museum/Library in an effort to provide a comprehensive look at the first First Lady to earn a college degree. Culbertson, who retired in 2012 after 24 years on staff at the Hayes Presidential Center, is guest historian for the live discussion/call-in on May 13 – the night the Lucy Hayes segment premiers. He will field questions from series moderator Susan Swain, president and co-chief operating officer of C-SPAN, as well as viewer questions submitted via telephone and social media.

Northwood debates assessing residents for pond By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Northwood City Council is reviewing whether to assess residents to excavate a detention pond at Greenway Estates subdivision near the Woodville Mall to improve drainage in the area. “A few years ago, we had some flooding problems,” Councilman James Barton, chairman of the Service Committee, said at a meeting on April 25. Paschal, Bihn & Sons Excavating submitted a $276,000 bid for the project. Plans call for the detention pond to be located on vacant city property east of the subdivision. Council and Mayor Mark Stoner debated whether property owners should be assessed for the detention pond. “Where are the funds coming from?” asked Council member Connie Hughes. Barton said the storm water management fund would fund the project. “Is all this money coming from storm water,” Stoner asked Barton “or is this going to be assessed? Barton said there have been other projects, particularly near Brentwood Park, to help residents alleviate flooding, and they were not assessed. “When do we start assessing when we’ve been doing it for free,” said Barton. “Then the next question I have is, when

are you going to put a pond in my neighborhood, or my brother’s?” asked Stoner. “That’s what I’m worried about. What kind of precedent are we going to set here. And are we going to use all the storm water money? If so, what happens if we have an emergency?” Councilman Randy Kozina said residents already pay storm water management fees that are included in their water bills. “Technically, it is assessed,” said Kozina. “You’re paying $3.25 per month on all your water bills going into that fund.” The city should prioritize which projects will be financed with storm water funds, he added. “How can you use any of that money saying it has to benefit everybody in the city at the same time?” asked Kozina. “That’s true, but we can’t run it down to nothing,” said Stoner. “I understand your concerns, too,” said Barton. City Administrator Bob Anderson said there is $798,871 in the storm water man-

time we get another project because the bucket won’t have anything in it. I agree that people have been paying storm water management fees. At the same time, Connie pays storm water management fees for her neighborhood, and she’s still being assessed. Shouldn’t we buy her pond? I can see both sides, and I don’t think we’re going to settle it this evening.” Questions were also raised about Paschal, Bihn & Sons Excavating’s bid, which did not include the appropriate pump. The company agreed to provide the correct pump after the bids were open. Council wanted more information before they voted on the matter. “You want to be fair to people,” Gallaher said after the meeting. “How many people are getting assessed in the city for storm water management on top of what they are paying in their water bills for storm water management? It’s going to take time to gather all that information.”

Free movie series part of summer in Genoa

By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press A slate of free movies is just another bit of family fun in the works at Genoa’s Veterans Memorial Park this summer. Big Dipper owner Martin Clement offered free movies last year at the rear of the Washington Street building as part of the 10th anniversary of his business. The ice cream parlor property is adjacent to Veterans Park. “It was a last minute thing last year but it was well received,” Clement said. “We’re planning on doing two a month, six movies this year June to August. They’re free movies, all PG. It’s kind of for the kids.” The first film will be shown June 8 and the others will be held every two weeks afterward. Clement said an inflatable screen is used. “It’s like those bouncy house types the kids like. It has a motor that you plug in and it keeps it inflated,” he explained. His daughters will help him choose the movies and plan to post the schedule on Big Dipper’s Facebook page. “They’ll be handling all of that. I’m not really a techie,” Clement said, adding Mayor Mark Williams approached him about working with the village to make the event a more pleasurable experience for families. In the 2012 season, movie-goers set up lawn chairs and blankets on the gravel parking lot behind the shop. This year, Clement said, the village will allow them to set up in the grassy area of the park not far from the Big Dipper. Clement, who retired two years ago from a railroad company, knows about the search for inexpensive family fun. He has eight grandkids. “This is the third year we haven’t changed our prices – even though everything I get keeps going up,” Clement said. But he knows the economy is just as hard on working families throughout the area. “Look at the way the gas fluctuates. A few weeks ago it was $3.39 and now it’s $3.79. Everything you have extra goes into the tank. But maybe that one week you have an extra $20 in your pocket and, hopefully, you’ll be able to patronize my business and others.” As temperatures rise slowly past the 70-degree mark, Clement expects foot traffic to also be on the rise. And when the quarry opens over the Memorial Day holiday, the pace really quickens around the place, especially at 3 p.m. “That’s when they kick the kids out of the quarry for a break,” Clement said.

agement fund. Some of the money is used for daily operations, he added. Council continued discussion on the matter at a May 2 committee of the whole meeting. Hughes said at the meeting that she backed assessments. “I think it should be assessed. I don’t think the money should be taken out of the storm water fund,” said Hughes. Councilman Dean Edwards said the storm water management fund should pay for the pond. “What would that be used for if it’s not used for something like this?” asked Edwards. “We’re collecting these fees, and it’s labeled storm water management. That’s what’s going to manage the storm water when it comes.” Hughes said she has been assessed every year for 37 years for a detention pond in her neighborhood. “There’s always going to be projects like this,” said Councilman Dave Gallaher. “So you can’t empty the bucket every

Gibsonburg schools tax request falls by 47 votes Historically, the district has received more than 60 percent of its revenues from the state. Revenues from local property tax collections have been under pressure as the district contends with delinquencies and state funding has also dropped. It was the first time since 1994 the district had gone to voters for additional operating revenues, according to Tom Peiffer, superintendent. Superintendent Tom Peiffer said the additional tax revenues would have enabled the district to maintain current educational programs and no new programs would have been funded by the levy. The school board is scheduled to meet May 20. Peiffer said the board’s decision to seek an income tax rather than a property tax was viewed as a matter of fairness to senior citizens and farmers. “This would have been a tax on earned income,” he said. “It was a way of distribut-

Your Voice on the Street: by Stephanie Szozda

The Press Poll

Do you have any phobias? If so, what is it of and why?

What do you think of trafﬁc cameras? They are needed to improve safety. I don’t like them because they invade my privacy. I don’t like them because they hurt business.

Stella Rose Toledo “Spiders, because they’re so little and they’re just not real cute, and if your going to bed at night and you see a spider and it runs and hides, you're awake all night looking for it.”

Kevin Ludwig Genoa “Heights. When I was on the Genoa VFD in the 80’s we were at a house fire, the adrenalin was flowing and they needed an ax taken up on the roof. So I took it up and I was not able to come back down off the ladder."

Right vs. wrong To the editor: I was astonished to read in your recent article on “Marriage in the news,” the comment that we should “table the morality.” That’s the kind of remark we might expect from a jaded politician who actually cares nothing about our country or its citizens. It was certainly disappointing to see that attitude in our friendly, neighborhood newspaper. What kind of a world are we creating for our children and grandchildren? Do you really think the solution to our problems is to destroy the little bit of integrity we have left? Can’t you see what’s happening to our country? It seems that the more we kick God out of our schools, our homes and our lives, the more violence and animosity takes over. No, the kids aren’t seeing the Bible or the Ten Commandments in school – they’re seeing their schoolmates attacking and killing each other. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see what “tabling the morality” has already done to our schools and our world. We have to learn and teach our children to treat everyone with respect. The

private choices people make is between them and God. But when an issue is something that affects us all, we can and must take a stand. The trick is to do it with civility. When people disagree, it doesn’t mean they hate each other; they just have a difference of opinion. However if you wish to hurt them or they wish to hurt you, whether it’s calling names or inflicting injury, that person is the hater. The law can be manipulated, but you can’t force people to believe something is true because a militant, confrontational group says the meaning has changed. Another thing to think about – if the courts actually make the mistake of trying to change the definition of marriage, how often will they redefine it? A quick check on the Internet confirms there are already people pushing for group marriage, and adult/child marriage. Will

the court change the definition every few years to go along with the latest trend? No matter what the government, the courts or anyone else says, a same-sex relationship is not marriage. It’s not a bigotry issue, but a biology issue. Men and women were made to complement each other, not to be alike. Same sex “marriage” is a contradiction of terms; it makes a complete mockery of the word. Right and wrong are not determined by public opinion. A perfect example of that truth is the legalization of abortion. The courts decided 40 years ago that abortion was not the murder of an unborn child, but no matter what you call it, that decision has resulted in the torture and death of 55 million innocent babies.

We need to recover the morality we’ve lost to know the difference between right and wrong. We ask God to bless America, but why should He? He’s not a tool to be used when things go wrong and then shut Him away in a box until the next time we need Him. Mary Jo Thieman Bosch Millbury

Memories can be a bridge or lifelong burden Every experience you have creates memories. Both good and bad events are recorded by your mind. Your memories of the past have an impact on how you deal with today and tomorrow. Everyone has an inclination to be selective about which memories they recall most often. Unfortunately, bad memories can get more attention than good ones. This happens when you lament about the past. You fixate on what you could have, should have, or would have done differently. Focusing on these negative memories taints your perception. There is a tendency to project problems from the past into the future. Because of your previous experience, you develop a fear of reoccurrence. So rather than being a learning experience, your bad memories become an anchor which limits your growth and pollutes your future. Bad memories shouldn’t be ignored, but they should be kept in their proper perspective. Just because something bad has happened doesn’t mean it will automatically happen again. However, some people subconsciously repeat the same behavior that caused problems in the past. This validates their fear of the future. They will point to the same recurring results as proof that their concerns are valid. This process deeply reinforces bad memories, causing one’s outlook to become habitually negative. Bad memories from childhood have

by Bryan Golden the ability to haunt you for a lifetime. Your early experiences are significant, especially the bad ones. Escaping the impact of these memories can be a daunting task. These recollections have an uncanny knack of burrowing into the deep recesses of your mind. They then seem to force their way to the surface on a regular basis. Bad memories are empowered when you chose them over good memories. This decision is one you have control over. Whether you believe this or not is up to you. If you feel there’s nothing you can do to impact your memory choices, you are enabling bad memories to continually dominate your thinking process. Bad memories cause bad feelings. They transport you back to the past, rob-

bing your enjoyment of the present. You feel as if moving forward in life is a real struggle and begin to doubt whether it’s even possible at all. Bad experiences should be a learning opportunity, not a prison sentence. You can take control of your brain and consciously decide to start selecting good memories. This process generates positive emotions which in turn shape your reality. When you feel good, your attitude improves. A good attitude attracts positive circumstances and people into your life. This is a proven concept that benefits those who believe in it and utilize it. Whenever you become fixated on negative memories, try this strategy to shift your awareness to positive ones. Acknowledge the bad memories as being from the past. As such they have no innate power to infect the present. It’s OK to let them go by cutting them free. Next, think about positive experiences from your past. Recreate the happy feelings they generated. Immerse yourself in the good memories. Your outlook will begin to improve as you shift your mental

focus. Whenever you find yourself selecting bad memories over good ones, repeat the previous steps. This is an ongoing process as bad memories are continuously trying to surface. It takes effort and vigilance, but the resulting improvement in how you feel is well worth it. You have the ability to pick which memories to focus on, so why not select pleasant ones.

Martin native raising funds at the Genoa Homecoming By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press This year’s Genoa Homecoming 5K run is teaming up with a Columbus-area cancer research fundraising group run by a Martin native who is a cancer survivor. The proceeds from the June 1 run will go to Columbus group ROC On! (Run Over Cancer) created in 2008 by Laurie Dangler, M.D., said Genoa Village Administrator Kevin Gladden. The Genoa Homecoming is celebrated May 31 and June 1 along Main Street in the village. ROC On! increases the public’s awareness of the effects of brain cancer and helps raise money for brain cancer research. The organization has raised $15,000 annually for the cause and participates in many races across the United States. Dangler, a Westerville resident and family practice doctor, is helping coordinate the local 5K event along with the Toledo Roadrunners. The Toledo group has managed the Genoa run for years, Gladden said. Twenty members of the ROC On! charity ran in last year’s homecoming run and that is when the idea bloomed for more participation in 2013. Dangler learned she has brain cancer in 2007 when she was training for a Columbus Half Marathon. It was the summer of her 37th birthday and the celebration of 15 years of marriage. Her doctors stressed immediate surgery, not even allowing her to hold off for her daughter’s upcoming birthday and slumber party. Dangler endured two major surgeries, one lasting 12 ½ hours and the other 7 ½ hours, to remove nearly all the tumor. Then she began a six-week regime of chemother-

her mother, Paulette Rudes, 61, of Martin, died of lung cancer in December 2009 and Dangler herself was diagnosed with breast

cancer in April 2011. “I’m doing pretty well right now,” Dangler said, noting the battle changes day to day. Dangler’s oncologist at Ohio State University Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital, Herbert Newton, is the chairman for the Esther Dardinger-Oncology Center at the James Hospital. Dardinger was his patient and died of brain cancer. ROC On! raises donations for the center. The James Cancer Hospital is ranked No. 1 in Ohio for cancer care and is No. 15 in the nation for cancer care. “They deserve additional funding for research,” Dangler wrote in her organizational blog. “I’ve been lucky to have had many friends and family members support me throughout this time, and now I’d like to give back to the James.” Dangler said that with her and her husband’s connection to the Genoa community she hopes to drum up lots of support. “We go back there a lot to visit … and with our two families, it seems like we’re related to all of Ottawa County,” she laughed. The Homecoming event also includes a half-mile race for children under age 6 that starts at 8:30 a.m. that day. The cost for the 5K race is $16 for preregistration or $20 on the day of the event. Dangler hopes to have a new t-shirt designed with a Genoa logo but isn’t sure it will be possible in time. Registration mailers are now being sent to runners who have participated in the past. New runners can sign up via the Facebook page for ROC On! or can get a registration form sent to them by contacting Dangler at laurie.dangler@gmail.com

Shingles vaccine recommended for those 60 and older Shingles –another name for a condition called “herpes zoster” – is an infection that results from the reactivation of the same virus that causes chickenpox. According to Sanford Kimmel, MD, a family physician from Toledo, shingles presents as a rash that may or may not be accompanied by severe burning or stabbing pain. The rash is often present on the trunk, but can also show up on the face. “Early treatment may be helpful in diminishing the intensity or duration of the pain, so all persons who suspect they might have shingles should see their family physician as soon as possible,” Dr. Kimmel advised. “Shingles is most common in people over age 50, but may occur in children and young adults as well. It is especially likely to occur in people who have conditions interfering with their immune system such as cancer, chemotherapy, or immune suppressing drugs,” he said, adding, “The decline of the activity of immune system with

age is the likely reason it is more common in older adults.” Shingles is often treated with an antiviral medicine to reduce the severity and duration symptoms. The medicines typically work better if taken in the first three days after the rash appears. Shingles can be prevented with a vaccine, however, the vaccine cannot treat active shingles. “There is a vaccine for shingles that is approximately 55 to 65 percent effective in preventing shingles and subsequent post-herpetic neuralgia,” Dr. Kimmel said. “The effectiveness of the vaccine seems to diminish with age. For example, it is more effective in someone 60, than someone 70, than someone 80.” As with any vaccine, side effects may occur. Soreness, swelling, and redness at the injection site are the most common side effects. In addition, a small number of people may develop a chickenpox type rash at the site of injection and an even smaller number might develop a generalize rash.

Shingles facts at a glance • The shingles vaccine is recommended for adults 60 and older. The vaccine can

prevent shingles, but cannot treat active shingles or post herpetic neuralgia. • Common side effects of the vaccine are headache, redness, swelling, itching, and soreness at the injection site. • People who have had shingles should get the vaccine to help stop the disease from reoccurring. The vaccine protects for at least six years, but may last a lot longer. • The shingles vaccine is not recommended for the people who have had an allergic reaction to gelatin or the antibiotic neomycin; those who have a weakened immune system due to conditions such as leukemia, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS); people who are receiving treatment for cancer or women who are pregnant or might become pregnant within four weeks of getting the vaccine.

“As with any biologic agent, some people may report systemic side effects such as temporary fever, headache or muscle aches,” added Dr. Kimmel. “Shingles is a very debilitating disease and potentially vaccine preventable,” Dr. Kimmel said. “Even if the vaccine is not 100 percent effective, it might decrease the severity of the illness. On the other hand, the vaccine can be quite costly and persons may wish to check with their insurer regarding coverage. Some physicians administer the shingles vaccine through a special Medicare Part D program set up through the physicians’ office. Otherwise, the physician may write a prescription for the vaccine that can be taken to a pharmacy that then dispenses and administers the vaccine.”

Learn F.A.S.T. for stroke recognition May is American Stroke Month and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s “Together to End Stroke,” sponsored nationally by healthcare products leader Covidien, is raising stroke awareness and reminding Americans that stroke is largely preventable, treatable and beatable. The campaign now includes a free mobile app that highlights the acronym F.A.S.T. to help people recognize a stroke: •Face drooping – Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. •Arm weakness – Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? •Speech difficulty – Is speech slurred, are they unable to speak, or are they hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “The sky is blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly? •Time to call 9-1-1 – If the person shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get them to the hospital immediately. “Your life, your brain, depends on calling 9-1-1,” said Jeffrey L. Saver, M.D., director of the UCLA Comprehensive Stroke Center in Los Angeles, Calif. “Know the signs and act fast if you or someone you’re with is having stroke symptoms.” For more information, visit www. strokeassociation.org/together. Call 9-1-1 More than a third of stroke patients don’t get to the hospital by ambulance, even though that’s the fastest way to get there, according to new research in “Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes,” an American Heart Association journal. Researchers studied records on more than 204,000 stroke patients arriving at emergency rooms at 1,563 hospitals participating in the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines-Stroke quality improvement program in 2003-10. Emergency medical services (EMS) transported 63.7 percent of the patients, with the rest arriving in various other ways, researchers said. During a stoke emergency, quick treatment is critical. EMS transported 79 percent of those who got to the hospital within two hours of the start of their symptoms. That resulted in earlier arrival, quicker evaluation and faster treatment, said the researchers who found: •Almost 61 percent of people transported by EMS got to the hospital within three hours of the first symptoms, compared to 40 percent who didn’t use EMS; •Almost 55 percent using EMS had a brain scan within 25 minutes of hospital arrival, compared to 35.6 percent who didn’t use EMS; •Of patients eligible for a clot-busting drug, 67.3 percent using EMS received it within three hours of symptom onset, compared to 44.1 percent who didn’t use EMS. “EMS are able to give the hospital a heads up, and that grabs the attention of the emergency room staff to be ready to act as soon as the patient arrives,” said Saver, who was the senior author of the study. “The ambulance crew also knows which hospitals in the area have qualified stroke centers. Patients don’t lose time going to one hospital only to be referred to another that can provide more advanced care if needed, whether that’s drugs to bust up the clot or device procedures to remove it.” Minorities and rural residents were less likely to call for EMS at the signs of a stroke, researchers found.

Bike to the Bay Nearly 1,000 participants are expected to take the ride of their lives at the Bike MS: Reeves Northrup Memorial Bike-To-TheBay June 29 and 30. The goal this year is to raise a half million dollars for Multiple Sclerosis research, local programs and services to keep the over 3,500 people with MS in Northwestern Ohio moving. The event begins at the Lucas County Fairgrounds in Maumee and takes riders through some of the most scenic back roads in Northwest Ohio. Bike to the Bay offers a one-day, one-way route as well as the three traditional two-day route options: 50, 75 and 100 miles each day. The event includes catered meals, and several rest stops fully stocked with snacks and beverages. There is also complete medical, safety, and bicycle repair support along the well-marked routes, as well as support vehicles that ride along to assist cyclists. The finish line for the first day for riders on the two-day routes (50, 75, and 100 miles) is at Port Clinton High School. Once there, cyclists enjoy a pasta dinner and receive a free ticket on the Jet Express to PutIn-Bay for the rest of the day. Camping and shower facilities are available free of charge on the Port Clinton High School grounds, along with overnight bike storage. The second day begins with a pancake breakfast and then riders follow the wellmarked route back to Maumee where finish line festivities await, including a barbecue chicken dinner.

Local business gives Pearson’s playground an artistic twist By Stephanie Szozda Special to the Press In just a few weeks construction will begin on the structures for Pearson Park’s new playground which can only be described as a state of the art piece of art. The interactive and educational playground designed by Jeremy Link and Douglas Kampfer, founders of Graphite Design + Build of Toledo, is set up as a three phase project. The target completion date for the first phase is October. The construction on the structures is set to start in a few weeks, however, there are some hurdles to get over first. “It’s a very wet park because it used to be a swamp, so they (the Metroparks) are working with Smith Group JJR to figure out where they have to put drainage. There are a lot of things for them to have to figure out so it’s not as simple as tearing the current playground out and putting this stuff in,” Link said. Link and Kampfer are currently working on a similar playground area for Farnsworth Metropark in Waterville. The first phase of the Pearson playground is the same size of the entire Farnsworth project. So if all goes to plan, the Pearson Playground will be three times as large making it their most ambitious project with the Metroparks to date. “Mostly this is just going to be something that’s extremely overwhelming for kids I think. They’re going to freak out,” Kampfer remarked. There is going to be a false pond with giant sculpted lily pads that kids can play under and climb on. The lily pad flowers are designed as chairs that children can sit and spin around on. A large interactive frog, woodpecker, and spider will be sculpted with talk tubes in them, so kids can talk through an echo chamber to each other from each animal. The musical cattail forest will contain cattails that will be hollow and open at one end like a bell and built with flexible stalks so they can be banged together. “They will be made out of Corten steel which rusts once and stops so anytime a kid really goes to town on it and cleans it down to the metal it will just rust again and stay like that. They are going to be shaped like bells. So if you can imagine a tube that’s closed on the top, they will be different lengths and widths so they will all have different tones,” Kampfer explains. The main component of first phase is what they refer to as “The Mother Tree Hub.” This is a jungle gym made in the likeness of a massive tree stump. It will include a climbing net, an 8 foot tall climbing wall, a slide, swings, and creatively sculpted passageways. The big base of the mother tree will be hollowed out and inside will be a large stump-like table where naturalists can meet with kids and give lessons. Although the second and third phase plans are not finalized, one of the ideas being tossed around is to have a small amphitheater like stage that can function as a land lab where rangers can give talks to kids. “Another one of the possible plans is to have a boardwalk through the existing wetlands and make it a learning experience,” Kampfer said. “They ‘want’ to make it a learning experience… that was the main thing about it. Use what’s there, enhance it with this kind of fun stuff and make it a destination thing. Kids want to go here and then they can go over to these other areas and actually learn about stuff,” Link explained. Other ideas include a snake sand pit, a big salamander crawl through, a broken down wagon and a horse and rancher. To make these structures the team at Graphite Design starts by building a rough shape of the structure out of large Styrofoam cubes. Then they use hot wires to carve out a rough outline. “It actually takes shape pretty fast,” Kampfer said. When there’s a lot of carving they use curry combs (which are used to groom horses) to sculpt it. “So once we get the whole thing sculpted we get approvals and we’ll probably even test fit it to make sure it all works. Then we get everything fiber-

(Press Photo by Stephanie Szozda) glassed, which is a really hard coating like what they make boats or tubs out of. Then we use this epoxy plating that we use to actually sculpt detail on. The cool thing about this too is it’s actually sculpted in those colors so if a kid were to damage it or hit it with a hammer it’s the same color inside,” Kampfer said. This design gives the playground

sculptures a durability that can stand up to time even with its inevitable everyday abuse. Link and Kampfer have done projects all over the world prior to starting Graphite Design + Build. They started their own business with the hopes of working more locally. “We just kind of fell into it with the

Metroparks and it just worked out really well… We’re working with all the things we really like about Toledo. Like the Metroparks, the zoo, the museum. It’s nice to get to work with all the bright spots of the city,” Link said. You can check out Graphite Design + Build at http://graphitedandb.com.

From Front St. hot dogs to arena…

Bobb Vergiels became one of East Toledo’s very own By Jeffrey D. Norwalk Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com The now-razed Toledo Sports Arena, at One Main Street in East Toledo, was where folks marveled over the Magnum P.I.-like moustache of, and listened to long time public address announcer Bobb Vergiels. Vergiels was considered a member of the East Toledo family…one of their own. “Even though my family moved up to Ida, Michigan when I was 11-years-old, Toledo is definitely my hometown, and some of my greatest memories growing up here were of going down to a lot of the hockey games at the Toledo Sports Arena, because you see, Dad worked for Irv Pollock Lincoln Mercury, and it seemed like Irv always had season tickets for about everything,” reflects a 61-year-old Vergiels. Vergiels, who was born in the Glass City in 1952, says the Sports Arena was where his love affair with sports was first kindled by his father Bob. Playing the game was another matter. “When I played little league baseball, I was so horrible at it, that to this day I swear my coaches put me in our games anyway just because they got tired of hearing me do play-by-play of all the action on the bench there beside them,” he laughs. Vergiels’ future in sports broadcasting started to bud in dugouts across Toledo while he was a young ballplayer and student at Whittier Elementary. It later bloomed by listening to heroes such as Ernie Harwell, George Kell, and Paul Carey of the Detroit Tigers, Tom Hamilton of the Cleveland Indians, and the Toledo Mud Hens’ own Frank Gilhooley. “And then later, when I got a real job in radio working my way through Monroe Community College at WVMO (now My 98.3), I was able to score a press pass for the International Hockey League, which meant I got to go to a lot of the hockey games down at the Sports Arena as a radio guy, which was kind of cool,” Vergiels said. “Then, the Goaldiggers came to town in ’74, and for those first couple of years of their existence, you couldn’t get a seat down there except for maybe one or two here or there, which worked out perfect for me, because at that time I was working as a reporter for the Monroe Evening News, so I’d always go down there alone, and watch the ‘Diggers play on Friday and Saturday nights,” he shares. “Yeah, my Aunt Floss lived in the Vistula Apartments right down the street from the Sports Arena, so every time there was a hockey game in East Toledo on the week-

Bobb Vergiels receives his own Toledo Walleye honorary jersey by game day promotions coordinator Kyrsten Kasmyrick. (Photo courtesy Toledo Mud Hens) ends, I’d drive down like three hours early, go to Central Hot Dog on Front Street and pick up some ‘dogs and chili, walk over and have dinner with my Aunt Floss, and then walk back over the Cherry Street Bridge when it was time for the game. It became one of my favorite traditions.” “Back in that era, they didn’t charge for parking at the Sports Arena. Back in that era, they had ‘Ten Cent Beer Night’ and I can remember nights when I saw people get into line, stand there and drink their beer, and then get right back into line again. I swear most of them didn’t even see a minute of the game,” he reminisces.

“Those were the golden days of the infamous ‘Broad Street Bullies’ of the Philadelphia Flyers, so fighting was a big, big thing in hockey, and in Toledo during that time we had our own infamous line known as ‘Murder Inc.’ which consisted of Dougie Mahood, Paul Tantardini, and ‘Wild’ Willie Trognitz. I swear there were nights I saw that one line get into nine different fights. “During that era, people were allowed to smoke right there in their seats, so a haze of grey smoke always hung inside the arena. The glass was extremely low, so fans could reach out and rap opposing players and referees on the head as they skated by.

Your Fort Waynes, your Kalamazoos, your Port Hurons, and your Daytons…these were teams Toledo fans saw so many times during the course of a season, so they came to hate them. The games took on the environment of a bullfight . . . you just knew somebody was going to get gored. “We had ‘Diggers’ coach Ted Garvin tearing off his suit coat, and ripping off his tie, to reveal a Superman T-shirt underneath, while he argued with referees. The ice surface was always small at the Sports Arena, the puck could bounce funky, the sightlines were like straight out of the movie ‘Slap Shot’ and if you were to look it up, you’d discover that the arena in the film in Johnstown, Pennsylvania was actually designed by the same guy who designed the Toledo Sports Arena. They were built just one year apart. The Sports Arena was absolutely a fantastic, old place for hockey, and even though many people called it a dump, it was our dump. And we loved it. The Goaldiggers suspended operations after four Turner Cup championships in 1986, and later moved to Kansas City, where they became the Blades in 1990. “Some years later, before the Storm came to town in ’91, the Sports Arena hosted an exhibition game between Cincinnati (Cyclones) and Erie (Panthers), and I took my own son, who was 5-years-old at the time,” continues Vergiels. “All the old Goaldigger fans were there, everyone showed up in their green and gold, and it really took me back to that wonderful era of hockey in Toledo. But, what I noticed was, the public address announcer that night was just horrible, so I sent then Storm-owner Barry Soskin a note that read, ‘I can do better,’ even though I’d never done it before.” The note piqued Soskin’s interest, and soon led to a fateful dinner meeting at a Bob Evans restaurant in Monroe, Michigan from which Vergiels walked away with the new Storm PA announcer gig. Sixteen years after the Storm’s inaugural season under fiery head coach Chris McSorley in ’91 to the franchise’s sad swan song campaign in 2006-’07, the Storm brought home two East Coast Hockey League Riley Cup championships in ’92’93, and ’93-’94. and Vergiels would go on to spew more than a mouthful, and he also became a natural fit at PA announcer in ’09 when the Storm finally became the Toledo Walleye after moving into the brand-new Huntington Center on the other side of the river, which is a post he occupied until the completion of the ’12-’13 season, which is when he decided to hang up his Toledo hockey mic forever.

Kristen Roznoski playing starting role for Rockets By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Former Cardinal Stritch Catholic and Owens Community College softball standout Kristen Roznoski is playing a starting role for the University of Toledo as they began play in the Mid-American Conference Tournament. Toledo made its sixth all-time appearance in the Mid-American Conference postseason tournament at Akron’s Firestone Stadium. The Rockets (16-34, 8-14 MAC) earned the eighth seed after winning a tiebreaker over Akron, and opened against the No. 5 seed Miami RedHawks (19-32, 12-10 MAC) on Wednesday. Roznoski, a senior outfielder, has the eighth-best batting average on the team at .259 and has started in all 50 games. She has scored 21 runs and accumulated 43 hits, one double, one triple, six RBIs, 46 total bases, a .277 slugging percentage, .285 on-base percentage, 17 steals in 23 at-

The Press Box tempts, and a fielding percentage of .954, which is second among team leaders. Early in the season, Roznoski extended her hit streak to a team-best eight games with a double in a 9-1 non-conference loss to Dayton and had two base knocks in the nightcap, a 10-5 win over the Flyers. The win snapped Toledo’s 13-game losing streak. Roznoski paced the UT offense with two hits as Toledo lost its opening games in the Under Armor Classic, falling to Villanova 5-3 and UT Chattanooga 9-0 at the Eddie C. Moore Complex in Clearwater, Florida. Sports announcements Eastwood boys’ basketball will be hold-

Golden Bears look to win TAAC, make tourney run Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Just two years ago, Gibsonburg went 4-16 in its final year in the now-defunct Suburban Lakes League. But the last two seasons have seen the Golden Bears come back with a vengeance and go a combined 34-13 overall and 13-1 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference. And this season has seen Gibsonburg go 15-5 with a 6-0 mark in the TAAC as the team dominated league play, winning every conference game by at least five runs. Currently, the Bears are two games ahead of Cardinal Stritch in the loss column, so they control their own destiny in terms of winning the league crown. And they’ll have a shot at winning another sectional crown when the Bears face the winner of Woodmore and Genoa on Thursday at 5 p.m. at Genoa Middle School. A number of key players have led the Bears this season, most notably Alyssa Escobedo, Filomena Mendoza, Lauren Rahe and Sadie Sneider. Escobedo has been the Bears’ most outstanding player, succeeding both in the circle and on at the plate. As a pitcher, Escobedo has gone 10-2 with a 2.55 ERA while taking on an increased workload because of an injury to No. 1 starter Danielle Fisher. And at the plate, Escobedo is hitting an impressive .525 with a team-high five home runs. She’s driven in 25 runs and set a school record for home runs in a season. Mendoza, the second baseman, is also hitting well, batting .507 with three doubles, three home runs and a team-high 35 RBIs. Rahe is hitting .478 with 14 doubles and 29 RBIs and Sneider has a .441 average to go with 29 RBIs and a team-high 36 runs. Part of what’s helped Gibsonburg this season is its ability to maintain a positive frame of mind.

“Every season, you have your ups and downs,” Kyle Leatherman, head coach, said. “If you remain focused on the things you do well and learn from the mistakes, don’t dwell on them and concentrate and good things will continue to happen. It only takes one or two at-bats to turn your game around for you. “We simplify it – one pitch at a time, if we do that, simplify, we feel we have a pretty good shot at winning the game. At the end of the day, we do enough good things to win the game.” Part of the reason for the team’s success has to do with the fact that it puts together a difficult non-conference slate each year. This season, the Bears faced Wauseon, Bellevue, Otsego and Lake. “Being one of the bigger schools in the conference, we try to play the same size schools and bigger schools and play the best competition whenever possible,” Leatherman said. “If we want to be the best, we’ve got to beat the best. Hopefully, when the regular season comes around you hope it has prepared you for the postseason. If you don’t bring your best on any day, you can get beat.” As many people know, the Bears have a rich tradition when it comes to softball. In the previous decade, Gibsonburg won state titles in 2001, ‘02, and ‘03 and had a runnerup finish in ‘04 during an incredible fouryear span. Leatherman is conscious of the program’s history, but he wants his players to live in the now and remain focused. “Our goal is that we want to make people proud of our program,” he said. “We can’t relive what happened in the past. These girls, they want to make their mark in the program. Everybody wants to live that dream of winning a state championship. If we live on that, we will be so consumed. If they can go out and trust their abilities and have fun, they’ll be successful, and they’ll leave their mark on the program and take a lot of memories with them.”

Guy Elston brings experience in Yankees organization By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Guy Elston has a lot of very busy days once the high school baseball season begins. Eastwood’s volunteer pitching coach works at The Andersons in Maumee from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., then hustles to the baseball field by 2:45. After practice, he often heads over to work odd jobs at Hidden Hills Golf Club in Woodville. “I enjoy golfing,” Elston said, “so I hang around the golf course a little bit. I’m not a fanatic, where I keep track of my handicap.” Former Eastwood baseball coach Chopper Schmeltz brought Elston on board seven or eight years ago to serve as a volunteer coach and help with the pitching staff. Since then, he’s been on the Eagles’ staff all but one season. Elston had never coached at the high school level before, but he had a pretty impressive resume. “Chopper knew I had played minor league ball,” said Elston, 53, “He asked me (to coach) one time after a basketball game, in the fall, and I said, ‘yeah. I’ll do it.’ ” Elston and current Eastwood varsity coach Kevin Leady, a former standout pitcher with the Eagles (2002-05) and at Bowling Green State University, was smart enough to keep Elston on the staff when he was hired two years ago. Elston serves as a junior varsity assistant coach and works primarily with that squad’s pitching staff; Leady concentrates on coaching the varsity staff. “He does a good job and he gives the kids a lot of great insight,” Leady said. “He really knows what he’s talking about pitching-wise. The more people you can have, the better. Our team ERA is pretty good this year. We can credit the amount of time we

Eastwood assistant baseball coach Guy Elston. (Press photo by John Pollock/ www.smumug.pollock.com) spend on that aspect (of the game). He’s a great guy, very knowledgable about the game. He has a huge desire to work with the kids.” Elston, a native of Addison, Mich., who now lives in Stony Ridge, was an allcounty pitcher at Addison High School in the mid-1970s. He pitched for two years at Jackson (Mich.) Community College and also played Federation ball in Toledo. One of his Federation teammates was an assistant at the University of Toledo, and Elston played his last two years of college ball under UT coach Stan Sanders.

Elston, then a 6-foot-4, 190-pound right-hander, was working at Michigan International Speedway in the summer when he got a call from Sanders. “He said, ‘Hey, I have somebody I know and they need you in Paintsville, Ky.,’ ” Elston recalled. “The Yankees had a rookieball team there. They played 60 games and consisted of mainly college kids.” Elston showed up and was asked to pitch an intrasquad game with the Paintsville squad and did “alright.” “I took it as a tryout for the team,” he said. “By the end of the season I was 9-0 with 11 saves, strictly as a reliever.” The next year Elston was sent to pitch in Greensboro, N.C., for spring ball. He had one “outstanding” month and was called up to Nashville, where he finished the season. “I spent the last three months living in a hotel room in Nashville,” Elston said. “I lived out of a suitcase.” The following season Elston was moved up to pitch for the Columbus Clippers, the Yankees’ Triple-A minor league team. Elston said he had a decent season with the Clippers, but he tore a muscle in his inner elbow about halfway through the season and went on the 15-day disabled list. “The following year my shoulder started hurting,” he said. “I don’t know if I started throwing different because of my elbow. The bursa sac would become so inflamed that I could only throw every five to six days, which is bad for a reliever. They couldn’t rely on me to throw. I was taking two or three aspirin before every game, but it still didn’t help.” Elston was traded to Cleveland’s minor league system the following year, and that’s when his pitching arm really became sore. “My arm never was right after that,” he said. “I pitched two years in (Double-A) Waterbury, Conn., for half a season, then

they called me up to the (Triple-A) Maine Guides. I was in Maine the following year and they even made me a starter, thinking that would help. I was so sore, I couldn’t really come back after five days. I wore my arm out. “I just didn’t really have any strength in my arm. It was disappointing, because I moved up so fast and never had a sore arm. After two years of having a sore arm, Cleveland was going to send me back down to Double-A and I said there was no way I can even throw. So I came back home and saw a doctor and they shot that dye in my shoulder. He said it was just my bursa sac in my shoulder. I knew I couldn’t throw.” It was 1985, and Elston was already 26 years old. He never pitched again. “I always think, ‘I could have been,’ ” Elston said. “It was fun while it lasted. The year I hurt my arm with the Yankees, in 1983, they invited me to their big-league camp for spring training. Then they traded me to Cleveland and I went to minor league spring training.” Elston, who threw a low-90s fastball, curveball and slider, credited his father, Jim, for helping him get to the doorstep of the major leagues. “When me and my brother (Greg) were kids, my dad would catch for us every day out in the driveway,” Elston said. “That’s what really helped me. He still has the same garage door and there’s still the same ball dings in it. He was also my coach for most of my years in Little League.” Elston said he’s having a ball helping with Eastwood’s pitching staff. “I enjoy going to the field every day, working with the kids and watching them grow,” he said. “Next year they’ll be up on the varsity and I’ll get to see how they do on the varsity.”

Alex Hayes brings .500-plus batting to Comet lineup By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Tuesday was just another day at the office for Genoa junior Alex Hayes. Hayes, a junior shortstop/pitcher, went 3-for-4 with a run, a walk and one steal in the Comets’ 15-13 win over rival Woodmore, raising his Northern Buckeye Conference-leading batting average to .557. On Monday, Hayes doubled twice and pitched five strong innings in the Comets’ 7-5 win over the Wildcats. “Alex is a real success story and is a developing talent,” second-year Genoa coach Ron Rightnowar said. “He has a beautiful swing. I’m not surprised, because he is one of the rare kids who can repeat his swing, like a great golfer. One thing is developing the swing and then being able to repeat it. That’s the way he is at the plate. He’s able to repeat his swing and take consistent swings. He just stays with it and he trusts it.” Hayes is 29-for-52 at the plate, with 18 runs, 21 RBI and eight stolen bases for Genoa, 10-6 and 5-2 in the NBC heading into Wednesday’s game at Rossford. “I definitely put in a lot of work in the offseason,” Hayes, 17, said. “My coaches helped me out with my swing tremendously. Last year I was a a dead-pull hitter and they’ve worked with me on working on outside pitches and driving them. I gained a lot of weight, about 30 pounds (he is 5-foot-10, 170), and strength from the last year. I’m also a starting defensive back, and my uncle (Tom Wojciechowski) is big on weight lifting and protein shakes.” Hayes’ story is about determination, pushing forward, learning from his mistakes and learning to trust his new teammates and coaches. He attended Genoa Schools in grade school before moving into the Lake school system. He played outfield for the Flyers as a freshman, but family issues made him decide to move in with his Uncle Tom, his wife, Jodi, and their three sons in Genoa. Tom became Hayes’ legal guardian. “It wasn’t too hard for me,” Hayes said of the move. “I went to Genoa in my ear-

I transferred to Lake for probably four years and then came back to Genoa. My first year (last season) they had coach Rightnowar and I had to get to know him. We had long practices and I had to try to bond with hm. It was tough, just to know what kind of person he was and for him to figure out what kind of kids we were. “There were definitely times where we butted heads. I’m a competitor, so sometimes when I get talked to, I get hard headed. He knows what he’s talking about, so I trust him.” Rightnowar, a former major league pitcher, now practically raves about Hayes’

personal turnaround after a rough start last year. Hayes was Genoa’s No. 2 pitcher last season and wasn’t nearly the hitter he has been this season. Hayes said he batted in the mid-.300s last spring. “Last year was kind of a transition year for him,” Rightnowar said. “He transferred from Lake his freshman year and he was an on-the-edge kid. His uncle intervened and took him in, and so he came over to Genoa. He’s coming over and learning new kids, a new coach…I’m really proud of him. He’s

learning to battle his emotions and learning how to handle adversity. It’s rewarding for a coach to see a kid develop, not only as a player but to see the progress being made as a human being and his character. That’s made it special for me. It hasn’t always been smooth, but it’s gone progressively better every day we’ve been together.” Hayes moved in to an already busy household with the Wojciechowskis, who have three sons - Tommy, 23, Casey, 20, and Jake, a sophomore center fielder for the Comets. “It’s worked out great,” Hayes said. “Me and Jake have always been super close, basically like brothers. Casey still lives at home and we all get along really well. They all helped me and supported me when I was going through some problems, along with coach Ron. Tom has done a lot of things for me. He’s basically like a father figure to me and I can talk to him about anything. We have a great relationship.” Hayes, a right-hander who relies on a two- and four-seam fastball and a curveball, is 2-4 on the mound with a 2.81 ERA. In 32 innings he has allowed 27 hits and struck out 23 as Genoa’s No. 1 pitcher. “He’s just a steady kid,” Rightnowar said. “He consistently throws the ball in the strike zone. If we’d played better defense this year, he would have a better record.” Hayes said he’s getting better at handling his emotions when things don’t go right on the mound. “There are some games we probably should have won, with a few (less) errors here and there,” he said. “I’ve definitely gotten better, especially since last year. Coach Ron helps me out a lot. He’s pointing out not just winning the game, but winning the fight within myself and staying positive.” Whether or not Hayes can maintain a .500 batting average the rest of the season remains to be seen. “I try not to let it get to my head too much,” Hayes said. “I always have to think ‘team first.’ At the end of the day, it’s about getting the runs in and getting the win.

Stritch softball team looks for strong finish to the season By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com After finishing as co-champions of the Toledo Area Athletic Conference and advancing to the district tournament last year, it appeared that the loss of five key seniors would force Cardinal Stritch to take a giant step backward this year. Not so fast. Behind the play of Alex Veres and Drew Fancher, the Cardinals are 10-8 overall and 6-2 in the TAAC, good for second in the league, and are poised to make a run in the tournament. At the plate, Veres, the No. 3 hitter, is leading the team with a .509 batting average and 21 runs. And Fancher, who hits cleanup, is hitting an even .500 and is tied with Veres for second on the club with 15 RBIs. Meanwhile, Sam Huff, the No. 9 hitter, has the Cardinals’ only two home runs of the year and leads the team with 16 RBIs. A shortstop, Huff is mostly known for her defense. Other contributors include LF C.C. Gozdowski (.348) and 3B Lizzie Smith (.313), both of whom have scored 19 runs on the season as well as 1B Mady Moran (.318) and Kara Barshel (.306). The lineup is, as follows: CF Cailyn Horna, Smith, Veres, Fancher, Gozdowski, 2B Alexi Jagielski, Moran, a platoon of players in right field, and Huff. In the circle, Fancher has developed a rapport with her catcher, Veres, and is pitching very well this season. Fancher, a sophomore, is currently 8-5 on the year with 2.25 ERA and has struck out 137 batters in 87 innings of work this season. Most notably, she has thrown no-hitters in four of her last five starts, an impressive feat. Manager Don Zbierajewski, now in his fourth season with the club, spoke about the team’s aspirations. “Our personal goal is to win the TAAC, but that’s going to be challenging,” he said. “We made it to the district semifinal for the first time in I don’t know how many years (last season). We’re hoping to get to the

The Cardinal Stritch Catholic softball team. Alexi Jagielski, Cailyn Horna, Sam Huff, Angela Gibson, Drew Fancher, Lizzie Smith, Mady Moran, Alexa McCourt, Coach Mike Cobb, Alex Veres, Sydnie Rodriguez, C.C.

Hopefully, they just take that and keep going because we’ve got sectionals this weekend. We need to stay confident, but not get cocky.” A non-conference slate that featured the likes of Central Catholic, Maumee, Oak Harbor and Lake helped to prepare the Cardinals for the conference slate. With two losses in the TAAC, the Cardinals need Gibsonburg (15-5, 6-0 TAAC) to lose one league game before the two play one another on May 20. If that happens and Stritch defeats the Golden Bears, they’ll be able to tie for the league title, provided they win their other conference games. “That was where we picked up the bulk of our losses,” Zbierajewski said. “We

played Oak Harbor, Maumee, Delta, Central Catholic. We try to play bigger schools so that even if we lose, at least (the kids) got something they can learn. Hopefully game experience can help them in the tournament.” What makes the team’s performance so impressive is the fact that the Cardinals have done it after losing five of their best players from last season. Last year’s team was led by pitcher Katie Turski (11-4, 1.03 ERA), who earned first-team TAAC honors for her performance in 2012. On top of that, fellow senior Missy Cobb (.436 BA, 19 RBI), the shortstop, was the top hitter on the club and 2B Emily Lorton and CF Christy Adams were fouryear letter winners. Third baseman Ally Niehaus was a three-year letter winner. “We lost a lot of that leadership but

we’re gaining it back with Drew and I,” said Veres, who wants to go out with a bang during her senior season. “It’s been, to me, really important and I want to make a good impression and I want to finish strong.” Zbierajewski is optimistic about the future. “The exciting thing is that, the girls that replaced them are all freshman and sophomores,” he said. “The future looks bright.” As for now, the Cardinals can focus on tournament play and trying to win the league title. Stritch faces league foe Toledo Christian this weekend in the Division IV Sectional Tournament. Should the Cardinals advance, they’ll play St. Mary CC on Monday at 5 p.m. at Gibsonburg High School.

God in a spirit of humility, in mourning, and in sincere meekness are favored over those with a sense of righteousness and spiritual pride. And although it can be quite difficult, especially when we are feeling proud of our spiritual accomplishments or are "on top of the world" spiritually; we would all do well to cultivate a sense of spiritual poverty. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." R.S.V. 1 Peter 5:5
