A unique team

Local theaters carry ‘Gibsonburg’

By J. Patrick Eaken and Mark Griffin news@presspublications.com Maumee Indoor Theatre, Fremont Paramount, and Virginia Clark Theatre in North Baltimore will be among the first to offer viewings of “Gibsonburg,” a movie about the 2005 Division IV state championship baseball team.

The movie is based on the true story of the Gibsonburg High School baseball team that finished the regular season 6-17, and then went on to win eight straight tournament games and a state title to finish 14-17 under first-year coach Kyle Rase.

They were the first, and still the only, baseball team in Ohio history to win a state championship with a record under .500.

The movie, starring Louis Bonafante and Lili Reinhart, has even more drama in it.

“Along the road to the state championship a romantic love story unfolds as well as a mystery that rivals any discovery that has ever taken place in the Midwest,” a press release states.

Comedienne/actress Judy Tenuta is part of the cast and crew.

Common People, Uncommon Challenges 50 stories of inspiration

Kyle Rase, left, with Ryan Kunk, the actor who plays him in the movie. The two have become best of friends.

“Judy is playing the ‘idiot’ parent we all know,” Producer Bob Mahaffey said, “the one who screams at the umpires and the players.”

Tenuta was an MTV stand-up star who Rase remembers watching doing comedy skits with “Weird Al” Yankovic. Rase says getting to work with Tenuta was special.

“She was very, very nice and friendly,” Rase said. “She was great to work with. I didn’t know how she would be because she’s a big-time actor — her and Lili Reinhart, who has been in Law and Order and things. But she was great to everyone and some of the other guys who were amateur actors. She was trying to tell them some different things (acting tips).

“She lives in (Los Angeles), so when we came to a film festival, she came to that, too,” Rase continued. “She plays a screaming parent in the crowd and she plays that role pretty well. The other girl, Lili Reinhart, has a pilot that was just picked up by Fox for the fall.”

Five theaters in the Columbus area, six in the Cincinnati/Dayton area, eight in the Cleveland area, four in southeastern and eastern Ohio, and five in the northern and western parts of the state will also carry the film. One of those is Van Wert Cinemas,

Patrols by the Ottawa County K-9 unit and officers in unmarked cars will be used

by Genoa police this summer to foil vandalism at Veterans Park.

Police Chief Bob Bratton outlined a list of new ideas for heightened security at Genoa’s main park during a recent village council meeting.

“We put a program together. The whole thing will be based on the element of surprise. We’re going to have officers in plain clothes at night, some in unmarked cars and we’ll be bringing in the county K-9 unit at times,” Bratton said in a telephone interview.

The efforts interested village council because of a recent outbreak of extreme vandalism across the park including damaged trees, broken park signs and evidence of fires in the wooded area.

In early May, Genoa police in uniform began extra foot patrols through the area to combat problems. Most of the damage appears to happen at night after the park closes at dusk.

And those efforts appear to be deterring further destruction, Bratton said.

“We’ve got about 18 hours in the park patrols,” Bratton said about the May schedule. “But we don’t want to cut our other duties short.”

Traffic, however, at the park is about to pick up dramatically. Veterans Park, including the quarry, opened for the season over the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

Genoa Homecoming is Friday night and Saturday. Plus, area schools are letting out for the summer. Genoa students spent their last day in class Wednesday.

And when school lets out, the park is a place for kids to congregate, the chief said.

That is why Genoa police have asked for the assistance of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department and its K-9 unit operated by Deputy Mark Nye and his canine companion, Nero, a three-year-old Belgium Malinois.

“The unit works the afternoon shifts in the west end of the county. We will call

Harris Twp.

Road relocation project to start in two weeks

By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press With a little luck, a section of a Harris Township road now closed because of river erosion will be open in July.

Motorists haven’t been able to travel the stretch of Portage River South Road, between Schultz-Portage Road and LinkerPortage Road, for a little more than a year now, Ottawa County Engineer Dave Brunkhorst said.

The 1,200 to 1,500-foot section must be moved south about 25 to 30 feet to remedy the situation. “When you have deep ditches and a river nearby you have to either build a wall or move it over,� Brunkhorst explained.

A wall built nearby 10 to 12 years ago eventually lead to the current damage, he added. “The road has been closed since last year when we first started having the problem.�

Work on the new remedy should be underway within two weeks, Brunkhorst said.

In recent weeks, Ottawa County commissioners approved a $289,716 contract with Unilliance for the relocation project.

Unilliance representatives met with Brunkhorst and others for a pre-construction meeting last week.

If weather cooperates, the project could be done sometime in July. By contract, however, the company has until September to finish it.

The goal, the engineer said, is to have the work done soon after the July 4th holiday.

The project is funded through an Ohio Public Works grant and a loan secured by Harris Township trustees.

“We’re using all of these as a means to secure the park,� Bratton said.

Those trespassing can be cited for violating the village code and earn a trip to Ottawa County Municipal Court. Other charges possible include vandalism, curfew violation and maybe even drug possession.

Last year, a group of area teens were banned from the park from the season after they were tied to a number of the problems there.

There’s no evidence that local kids are

to blame for the newest wave of problems though, Bratton emphasized.

The basketball courts attract a number of players from the area including Toledo, based on the license plates, he added. “We keep an eye on all of them,� the chief said.

This is Bratton’s second summer as chief. He said he’s been told that the park vandalism is nothing new. “I’ve heard this has gone on every couple of years in the park. But the damage seems to be a lot worse this year.

Genoa Schools

Operating levy on school district’s radar Genoa schools may need to put an operating levy on the ballot this fall.

Memorial Day has come and gone and school districts across the state, including Genoa, remain in flux regarding finances.

“We were under the impression that the state would have something for us by the Memorial Day holiday,” Superintendent Dennis Mock said, regarding the state’s biennial budget that’ll take effect July 1.

The Genoa school board has directed Treasurer Bill Nye to update the district’s financial situation for the June meeting as well as available options.

“An operating levy is something we are seriously considering but nothing has been decided yet,” Mock said.

And nothing really can be done until the state makes its move, Nye said.

By law, school district treasurers must submit five-year forecasts in May. “My statement will stand in June. It’s as useful as it can be for now. We cannot do a lot right now. We’re kind of in a holding pattern. Fifty-five percent of our budget comes from the state,” Nye said.

A year ago, Genoa schools spent just over $10.8 million for daily operating costs, Nye said. The cost for this fiscal year, which comes to a close on June 30, is expected to run close to $10.5 million.

Salaries and fringe benefits account for more than 80 percent of the school budget.

“When $4 out of $5 go toward wages and benefits, we look at that. But we’ve made a lot of cuts already there. And we’ve looked at purchase contracts, security contracts, water usage, gas, anything that can save us some money,” Nye said.

At present, state aid amounts to $5,732 per pupil. Some of the proposed state budget changes could slash that figure to $5,000 per pupil, the treasurer said.

It’s been eight years since Genoa administrators have gone to the voters for operating revenue.

Over the last five years, the school district has weathered a wave of budget hits that have caused a serious strain on daily operations. Some of them include the loss of tangible personal property taxes and home foreclosures.

And the coinciding reductions in state aid have forced the district to cut staff and programs. Under the education plan proposed by the administration of Gov. John Kasich, Genoa schools have been labeled “a guaranteed school.”

“That means we will get no more or no less in funding for two years,” Mock said.

Currently the budget bill is being discussed in Columbus in various House and Senate committees.

The final version will be sent to a House/Senate conference committee and then the final budget will be approved by the governor in late June.

“

There’s a lot to be done to get to that point and not a lot of time to get there.

“

By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press news@presspublications.com

One thing that won’t change in the new school year at Genoa is the structure of the Future Farmers of America program.

Earlier this year, the school board was considering staff reduction in the high school program, Mock confirmed.

Laura Sheahan, a mother of children involved in the FFA program, had appealed to the board to reconsider during one of their spring meetings.

Both teachers will remain on staff, Mock said.

Along that line, the school board also took a stand in the spring against a state push to forward state funding to private schools.

Gov. Kasich’s biennial budget (House Bill 59) proposes to expand the EdChoice

Scholarship Program through two new options that will significantly increase the number of public-funded vouchers for students to attend private school.

A change in the kindergarten and firstgrade attendance at private schools noted in the bill could divert some $25 million to private schools, according to the resolution passed by the Genoa board.

Genoa board members oppose the diversion of public funds to private schools and directed the treasurer to send the official letter of opposition to the governor’s office and the legislature.

Still, the schools cannot advance with their plans for the 2013-14 school year without the state’s budget directive.

“I understand that they can’t rush. In the mean time, like I said, we are in a holding pattern. We can’t even make a plan to go ahead with a levy,” Nye explained.

And as far as superintendents across the state are concerned, the state is cutting it pretty close.

To get a levy on the fall ballot, school district personnel have to get the paperwork filed by Aug. 7 with their local board of elections.

“There’s a lot to be done to get to that point and not a lot of time to get there,” Nye said.

War-era stories The Ohio Departments of Aging and Veterans Services have released the fifth installment of the War Era Story Project (www.aging.ohio.gov/news/ storyprojects/), just in time for the 69th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944.

The new collection includes 27 stories of Ohioans who participated in or supported the invasion of Normandy and the subsequent march across Europe to defeat Hitler.

The stories join more than 100 others that were posted previously.

The agencies received nearly 300 submissions and will continue to release them in small batches until all have been shared.

The War Era Story Project was a follow-up to the Department of Aging’s award-winning 2009 Great Depression Story Project.

Plan commission to review grant requests

Roberts Concrete Leveling, LLC

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Thirteen municipalities and agencies in Wood County have filed applications for Community Development Block Grant funding for various projects.

The requests total $570,001 but the county’s allocation of CDBG funding is only $191,000. Of that, the county planning commission will deduct about $31,000 for administration costs.

The planning commission will review the applications during its June 4 meeting and select four for recommendation to the county commissioners.

Local municipalities and agencies to submit applications are: • The Village of Walbridge is requesting $49,980 to cover most of the costs for installing 32 curb ramps along Main Street between Union and Elm streets to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards.

The total project cost is $54,980 and the village intends to pay $5,000.

• The City of Northwood is requesting $50,000 to help pay for replacing a trunk sewerline that serves Goodrich Avenue and for resurfacing about 750 feet of Harding Avenue. The total cost of the projects is $143,200.

• The Northwestern Water and Sewer District is requesting $50,000 to cover the entire cost of installing a sewer system on Rudolph Road between State Route 281 and Bays Road. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has mandated the sewers be installed.

• The WSOS Community Action Commission, Inc. is requesting $40,000 to provide utility assistance to 50 county residents who are veterans, displaced workers, or recently released inmates. The commission would use $295,764 from the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program to help pay the total project cost of $335,764.

• The Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities is requesting $16,178 to completely cover the cost of installing 225 feet of concrete sidewalk and two ADA mats along the corner of Woodlane School to minimize pedestrian traffic on driveways.

Other villages to submit requests are Bradner, Custar, Cygnet, Hoytville, Jerry City, Milton Center, and North Baltimore.

The City of Rossford also submitted a request to help pay for reconstructing 600 feet of Roland Court.

Spirit Award winners The Wood County board of commissioners will honor the 2013 Spirit of Wood County Award recipients at a ceremony June 9 at 2 p.m. The ceremony will be held at the Wood County Historical Center, 13660 County Home Road, Bowling Green.

The winners include former Bowling Green Mayor John Quinn for Self-Government, Pemberville businessman Todd Sheets for Industrial/Economic Development, and Perrysburg resident David Little for Agricultural Leadership.

Judith Justus from Perrysburg and Gregg Glamm, DDS, from North Baltimore will be presented the Lyle R. Fletcher Good Citizenship Award.

The awards, presented in conjunction with Wood County Heritage Days, are awarded to citizens who show qualities in bettering the county.

The commissioners have been honoring residents since 1987.

EPA loan approved The Northwestern Water and Sewer District has received a $15,000 low-interest loan from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to help the City of Rossford plan to replace a Colony Road pump station.

During some rain storms and snow melts, the collection system discharges raw sewage to Grassy Creek, a tributary of the Maumee River. The district is pursuing city-wide improvements to correct problems with water infiltrating the collection

system.

Since 1989, Ohio’s Water Pollution Control Loan Fund has awarded more than $6 billion in below-market financing for sewage treatment plant upgrades and other water quality improvement projects.

Local theaters carry ‘Gibsonburg’ baseball movie Continued from front page

Mahaffey’s production Mahaffey, a writer, producer and director, started his own company, Xcelerate Media Inc., out of his garage in Dublin, Ohio, in 2003. Mahaffey is also a 1980 graduate of Elmwood High School, one of Gibsonburg’s SLL rivals, and he still has family living in Wayne, near Bowling Green.

“I was having Thanksgiving at my sister’s house in Wayne,” Mahaffey said, “and I talked to my niece’s husband and he was telling me about this Gibsonburg team. I said this would be a great story for a movie.”

Mahaffey said he called Gibsonburg school officials about making an independent film about the 2005 state champions.

Soon after, he began writing a screenplay and began searching for actors.

“I got all these college students, some from Ohio State, Ohio University…the college students are doing all the work on this film,” Mahaffey said. “I want to make it a good college experience for the college kids and I want to make a movie we’re all proud of.”

Rase said he got a call from Mahaffey through former Gibsonburg Athletic Direc-

Not from the movie, but the real thing — Gibsonburg players celebrate a Division IV state championship in 2005. (Press file photo by Doug Hise) tor Brent Liskai. Rase said he met with Mahaffey and his staff about a possible independent movie.

“I told most of the (Bears players) in December (2010),” Rase said. “They were excited. To see it actually come to where it was a project in the works, that was when we realized this was going to be happening. It’s a great story about a great group of kids. The movie is 40 percent baseball and will be very close to our tournament run, and there’s a Hollywood plot line. I haven’t helped Bob with that. I pretty much stay with baseball and go through all the games with him.”

The actors portraying the Bears’ players and coaches are college students. Mahaffey’s plan was to begin by submitting the film to the Sundance Film Festival to be shown in January 2012 in Park City, Utah.

The baseball movie scenes were being filmed at three Columbus-area high schools – North Union, Dublin Jerome and Jonathan Alder – and at the Clippers’ Huntington Park, where the state final four is held.

Locally, Mahaffey’s crew has filmed several scenes at Gibsonburg’s Ideal Bakery, owned

which is near Rase’s hometown of Convoy, Ohio. The theater, which is on Lincoln Highway, has been rebuilt after being destroyed by a tornado.

“They are going to do at least a onenight showing (in Van Wert), so I’m kind of excited for that because I’ll get to see everyone I grew up with. I think I might be riding in a parade that afternoon. It’s fun to go home — I love going home,” Rase said.

Not only a parade back home, but the movie is getting help from professional baseball. Rase was to throw out the first pitch at Progressive Field Wednesday night when the Cleveland Indians were hosting the Cincinnati Reds. He also has similar first pitches lined up at Fifth Third Field in downtown Toledo and at the Columbus Clipper’s Huntington Park this season.

Exact times and dates have not been released, but visit GibsonburgMovieTimes. com or keep an eye on the movie theater’s websites. A trailer can be viewed at YouTube, on Facebook at GibsonburgTheMovie.com.

Last Sunday, a premiere showing was held at the Maumee Indoor, which was attended by the movie’s cast and crew, Rase, and most of the 2005 team.

“It was fun,” Rase said. “I not only got to see the 2005 team, but I got to see all of the people I’ve been working with in the movie for the past two years. It was a double reunion.”

Rase has a role in the movie, too, as an assistant coach.

I had a couple lines,” Rase said. “The interesting thing is all my lines are where I’m talking to myself. The most ironic thing is the guy who is the head coach has really become my best friend while we were making the movie, so we still talk and hang out a lot.”

“The bakery is the focal point of the movie,” Mahaffey said. “That’s the hangout. That’s the only place we’re shooting in Gibsonburg. When you walk in there you can see it’s swimming with character. It’s been in their family since 1933 and it’s just a beautiful setting for a movie. We’re probably shooting there seven or eight times; we’ve already shot there three times,” he

said in a 2010 interview.

Mahaffey had a $250,000 budget to shoot the movie. His crew included Emmyaward winning film maker and Bowling Green native Ginger Kathrens, assistant director Jessica Browne, and award-winning music producer Kelly Bryarly.

Mahaffey said he has talked with every member of the 2005 squad, but one in particular stood out.

“Andy Gruner is the star of the movie,” Mahaffey said. “I’ve spent countless hours with coach Rase and I’ve looked at the (game) footage and gone over every pitch – from their first game against Bettsville to the state finals against Fisher Catholic.

From the footage, it seemed that Andy was a very good leader on that team.”

Junior pitcher Alex Black earned the win in the championship game, throwing three innings of one-hit ball in relief of Gruner. Gibsonburg scored what proved to be the winning run in the top of the seventh inning when senior Wes Milleson reached on a two-out error, stole second and later scored on a single by senior Derek Hetrick.

Other Bears who played in the championship game included junior shortstop Wyatt Kiser, senior catcher Thom Brinker, sophomore pinch runner Scott Stevenson, freshman third baseman Cody Fisher, senior first/second baseman Brandon Beck and senior right fielder Derek Eddings.

Black pitched all but 11 innings during Gibsonburg’s eight-game tournament run.

“After school that summer I worked up at the school with Derek Eddings and it seemed like we were thinking about it all the time, still not believing we were able to do it,” Gruner said in an interview with The Press when the movie was announced.

“Now that the years have gone by, I think about it every couple months. I’ll run across the DVD that we showed at the school ceremony a week after the game, and it really gets my goose bumps going.”

Historical societies save 1894 school house remnants

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com The Oregon-Jerusalem Historical Society and the Harbor View Historical Society are saving historic remnants from an 1894 Oregon Township schoolhouse that was to be torn down Friday.

According to the late historian Josephine Fassett’s book, History of Oregon and Jerusalem: The Story of Two Communities, the first school for Oregon Township District 9 was located on Wynn Road about one-fourth mile south of Bayshore Road, and was built by John Clay in 1891 for $1,978.60.

However, in 1894, the board of education reported that the enrollment had decreased and there were not enough pupils in the district to warrant the board continuing the two rooms. The committee recommended that the two-room building be moved to District 6 where it was needed and a one-room school house be built to replace it. The one-room school was built on the same site.

According to the Harbor View society’s program manager, 30-year Navy veteran and Chief Warrant Officer Michael Joseph, the City of Oregon would have liked to have saved the building, but it was in disrepair.

“After June 1, that’s it — the building gets destroyed,” Joseph said. “The City of Oregon is trying to save part of it through these local historical groups and at least that’s a good thing.

“There’s no way they could have moved the whole building because it was just too badly mutilated. But when we walked in, there was no doubt that this was an elementary school because the chalkboard still goes around the entire inside of the building. So, we photographed it and categorized it.”

The HVHS arrived on the scene May 10 to take movies and pictures of the site

Obituary Shirley L. J. Markley

Shirley L.J. Markley, 82, of Oak Harbor, Ohio, died Monday, May 27, 2013 at Riverview Health Care Campus, Oak Harbor. She was born on July 26, 1930 in Waterville, Ohio, a daughter of Emery C.& Anna (Mayer) Meyers. Shirley was a 1948 graduate of the former Monclova High School, and attended the University of Toledo. On September 7, 1957, she married Gaillard Markley at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Maumee, Ohio, and he preceded her in death on May 10, 1976.

Shirley worked in the accounting department at Libbey-Owens-Ford and in the ASC office in Oak Harbor. She also was an instructor at Riverview Industries, Oak Harbor. Shirley was a volunteer with the American Red Cross, serving as a gray lady at St. Luke's Hospital and Flower Hospital.

A former member of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Maumee, Shirley was a long time member of St. Paul United Church of Christ, Oak Harbor, where she taught Sunday School for 60 years, and was a member of the handbell choir. She greatly enjoyed singing and was a member of the Senior Choir of the church, the Toledo Choral Society, and the Kitchen Kuties of St. John Ev. Lutheran Church, Oak Harbor.

Shirley is survived by her daughters, Anna T. Markley, and Catherine M. (Timothy) Smarkel, both of Oak Harbor; sisters, Geraldine (Jerome) Manders, Toledo, Ohio and Margaret (Denzel) Ducat, Maumee, Ohio; grandchildren, Bryce Rubie, Theresa Smarkel, and Robert Smarkel; and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by parents, husband Gaillard; son, Matthew A. Markley, and brothers Chester, Emery, Harold, Raymond, and Donald Meyers.

Arrangements were handled by Crosser Funeral Home, Oak Harbor. Interment was at Elliston Cemetery, Elliston, Ohio.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Capital Improvement Fund of St. Paul United Church of Christ, the Oak Harbor F.F.A. or the Rocky Ridge Fireman's Association. Online condolences may be shared with Shirley's family at www.crosserfuneralhome.com.

and have engineers take a look at how they would encapsulate and remove a designated wall. They plan to collect data, actually cut out the wall and transport it to the HVHS campus.

The Oregon-Jerusalem Historical Society is well-established at its base, Brandeville School. The newest venture, the Harbor View group, began a soft opening of its museum last year in the former Harbor View Missionary Baptist Church at 2083 Autokee St. in Oregon. Over the past two years, volunteers have been working to convert the former church into the new home of the historical society.

Harbor View officials say its goal is to preserve the history of the City of Oregon, the Village of Harbor View, and the area once known as “The Northwest Territories” of the United States. Hilliard, Ohio resident Samuel J. Bonifas, a historian and genealogist, is the HVHS’s first president.

But Joseph says the activities of the Harbor View museum will be “totally different” from the Oregon-Jerusalem society’s activities in that they will not deal with genealogy as much. They were glad to be included in this project.

“When they called us, I almost flipped out,” Joseph said. “I can’t believe the City of Oregon is calling us because that means that now we are in the phone book — it’s one of those funny things. But when we went out, we realized after doing the first research on it that this was actually the 1894 single room school house that was built there. The City of Oregon thought that it was moved there.

“The City of Oregon has allowed our group to go out and with a crane and a bunch of stuff, we are going to literally encapsulate the wall and take it back to the museum for storage until we can get it fixed up for display and it will be a part of the Wynn Elementary school display at the Harbor View Historical Society,” Joseph continued.

More classroom space needed for Lake Schools

Woodville is a Charming Village Steeped in History, Firmly Grounded in the Present and Moving Toward an Exciting Future...

Come Home to Woodville!

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A special meeting of the Lake school board has been scheduled for June 3 to review contract bids for an interior renovation project at Lake High School to build additional classrooms.

The meeting, which will be held in the Middle School Media Center, will start at 5 p.m.

If a contract is awarded, the additional classrooms will be constructed on the second floor of what is called the Extended Learning Area of the high school, said Jeff Carpenter, district treasurer.

The school board in April approved the hiring of the architectural firm, The Collaborative, Inc., to oversee the renovation. The firm was also the architect for the design of the new high school building, which opened in August after a June 2010 tornado destroyed the former high school.

Carpenter said the additional classrooms are needed to accommodate a planned shift of grades caused by the closing of Walbridge Elementary School last year as part of an austerity measure.

The new classrooms will allow for eighth graders to be moved from the middle school to the high school and fifth graders to the middle school, he said.

Tim Krugh, board president, said the plan calls for six classrooms to be constructed.

Because the entire project involves interior work, school officials are cautiously optimistic the added classrooms will be open for the 2013-14 school year, Carpenter said.

“If the bids come in around where we expect them to be, work can start right away,” he said, adding the architect will likely make a recommendation at the board meeting.

Superintendent Jim Witt said the project doesn’t entail an addition to the high school, noting the area was designated for classrooms in the original design drawings.

“There is a shell of an area already with a rooftop unit in place, rough-ins for electrical and other structural mandates ready to go. We will need to frame and drywall to shape the classrooms, add electrical and technology components, and furnish the area with casework,” he said. “We realize that the timeframe is tight but we believe it is in the best interests of our students to complete this move, if possible.”

The project will be funded through a gift from the estate of Joseph Baker, the proceeds from the sale of the Walbridge Elementary School building, cost savings realized from the closing of the building and possibly with permanent improvement revenue, he said.

Your Voice on the Street: by Stephanie Szozda

The Press Poll

If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be and why?

The government wants to drop the blood alcohol limit for being legally drunk in order to avoid drunk driving fatalities. The limit would go from .08 to .05. Do you agree?

Yes, it will make the roads safer.

No, strictly enforce the current laws.

Selina Peer Millbury “Barack Obama, because I think it would be cool to meet the president.”

Kaylee Smith Millbury “Selena Gomez, because she makes good music and has a great voice.”

Liberty is lost To the editor: While I was reading our “friendly, neighborhood newspaper,” I came across a letter to the editor titled “Wrong on many levels,” submitted by Albert Kapustar. His letter was a response to a letter submitted by Mary Jo Thieman Bosch the week before. I have a few thoughts and opinions on this matter, upon which I will opine.

First of all, Mr. Kapustar makes it perfectly clear where he stands with his political beliefs, as did Bosch the week before. However, I see a big difference on how the two support their beliefs. Mrs. Bosch explained her beliefs very clearly and well without bashing anyone in the process. She doesn’t believe that two people of the same gender should be allowed to be married. She never stated that she “hated” or even disliked someone for being gay.

She then backed up her argument with her religious beliefs, which is still guaranteed by the First Amendment.

Mr. Kapustar started his response civilly until mocking religion by calling Mrs. Bosch’s religion “outdated.” He then continued bashing Republicans, which Mrs. Bosch never claimed to be, calling them greedy, and blaming broken unions and mass poverty on them.

If this weren’t enough, he also believes that Republicans are animals who love torture and go around shooting kids with their guns. Oh and I forgot to mention that Republicans are all racist, sexists homophobes who hate liberals, accordingly to Mr. Kapustar.

I consider myself a Conservative, who

typically votes Republican. I know many Conservative/Republicans and cannot say that Mr. Kapustar’s view on them is even remotely accurate. I have many Liberal/ Democrat friends as well and I would never speak of them the way Mr. Kapustar did of Republicans. I have respect for human life and will do my best to defend liberty, equality and justice for all.

Wrong on many levels, Mr. Kapustar?

Yes it is. From your letter I can see that there is much anger and hatred, but it is not from Mrs. Bosch, religion or a political party. The anger and hatred comes when individuals cannot or will not respect another’s opinion. Every American has the right to freely express him or herself and to debate issues. However, when the debate ends in name calling and no offer of an alternative solution, the debate is lost.

Then liberty is lost.

Meaningful Day To the editor: The Memorial Day rain may have stopped the parade in Elmore, but it did not dampen the people’s spirits.

Woodmore High School was opened and the activities took place there, carrying out Elmore’s Memorial Day activities. No, the sun was not shining and the morning was somber, giving each one attending more of a Memorial Day feeling about the

loss of loved ones that have fought and died for our country.

We are so appreciative of everyone who made last-minute changes to have a very meaningful Memorial Day Ceremony.

Betty Marlow Miller Elmore

Making a difference To the editor: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” – Mister Rogers Most of the time, you don’t see all the helpers on the news; they are the heroic individuals who donate their time and/ or support the fundraising efforts. For example, there were many heroes on a chilly Saturday morning on May 11.

Despite the 46 degree temperature, a few Clay High School Volunteer Focus members sponsored a car wash to raise money for Vail Meadows Therapeutic Riding Center. There were many heroes that morning – from the students who washed cars to Advance Auto Parts who donated all the supplies, to those who made donations to have their car(s) washed, to those who just made donations.

There are a lot of “helpers” that you never see. It was so heartfelt and touching to listen to stories of how Vail Meadows has helped family members, stories of

friendships with the horses and the Vail family. There were donations made, both large and small; one individual was on her way to visit family in the hospital and still took time to stop and make a donation.

Another gentleman offered to buy the volunteers hot chocolate. When he told the McDonald’s employee what he was doing, the manager at the McDonald’s on Woodville Road donated not only hot chocolate, but French fries and burgers too for all the volunteers. Advance Auto Parts also matched a purchase made by this same individual of additional cleaning supplies.

Clay High School Volunteer Focus Members would like to say thank you to all the “helpers” who took time out of their busy day to “pay it forward.” No matter what your donation, you really make a difference.

Chris Walendzak Secretary, Clay High School

Anonymous generosity To the editor: It is nice to know that in these times, there are very caring and generous people.

We would like to thank the person or persons who paid for our parents’ meal at Applebee’s on May 17. Our parents are elderly – 87 and 90 – and still enjoy going out to eat. When they went to pay their bill, the waitress told them that it had been taken care of and that the person had left.

It was a very nice thing for someone to do and we personally would like to thank them for their thoughtfulness.

What’s playing at the movie theatre in your mind?

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

Since the results you get in life are based on the movies you play, make sure both the plot and ending are exactly what you want.

“

Your mind is at work non-stop. You are always thinking about something. One of the activities your mind engages in is playing out various scenarios. These movies are projected in your imagination. The movies can be on any subject ranging from routine activities to significant goals. You also create movies for the possible outcomes of dilemmas you are facing.

You are the writer, director, and star of your movies. You are in total control of every aspect of your mental film. Most importantly, you decide what the ending will be. These aspects are significant since your movies have a major impact on your emotions and behavior. Whatever script you are playing in your mind influences what you attract.

The movie theater in your mind is also known as visualization. Studies have shown that the movies you play have the same impact on your mind as actual occurrences. You have already experienced this phenomenon as a result of intense dreams.

These are the dreams that feel so authentic you thought they were really happening.

After such an episode, you wake up feeling exactly as you would after an actual physical experience.

You may feel exhausted, elated, upset, excited, scared, awful, or wonderful depending on the content of your dream.

This illustrates the impact of visualization.

It is so powerful that your mind cannot distinguish it from reality.

Whenever you replay the same movie over and over, your mind goes to work attempting to figure out ways to transform your movie plot into reality. Even if you don’t consciously take your movie serious-

ly, your subconscious mind does.

Your mind doesn’t care what kind of movies you play. Whether good or bad, they all have a realistic impact on the way you feel and what you do. However, as noted above, you have total control of the movies that play as well as their outcome.

In spite of the immense power of this process, many people expend more effort

deciding what to wear each day than in selecting what is playing in their brains.

They don’t realize how much impact their movies have. Additionally, they have been conditioned to formulate endings that are not what they really want. This is caused by worrying about worst case possibilities which then creates a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Since the results you get in life are based on the movies you play, make sure both the plot and ending are exactly what you want. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to obtain a particular result without first visualizing it. So, when you visualize what you don’t want, that’s exactly what you’ll be attracting.

Take advantage of the fact that you can create and play the movie of your choosing. Revert back to your childhood and daydream about the things you really want.

Create your ideal scenarios. Don’t limit yourself by what you or others feel is realistic. Have fun. Make your movies enjoyable. In your mind, anything is possible.

You will be utilizing a proven method for attaining what you really want. Every accomplishment, discovery, and invention was the result of dreamers who first saw in their minds that which they later brought to reality.

Everything begins as a mental movie.

If you don’t like the movies which have been playing, delete them and start over.

You are free to rewrite, recast, and reshoot any aspect of your movies.

You already know what movies you would like to play. Get started with the ideal script and go from there. You have total control over your mental movie the-

ater so always be picky about movies you are projecting.

Senior class mottos: Words that can spur change Spam, graffiti, angry words, vulgar words and inconsequential words blathered in non-stop verbosity can assault our eyes and ears daily. Is it any wonder we dismiss important words attempting to seep through to the cognitive center of our minds. Once in awhile, however, we internalize a certain string of words at a specific time in our lives, usually when crisis, contemplation or serendipity strikes, and we change.

Here, once again, are the mottos for this year’s high school graduates. Maybe, you’re at that point in life where one of them will spur change in you.

Northwood, Genoa: Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

reality and all you can do is decide what to do with the time given to you.

Oak Harbor: If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.

William Arthur Ward knew this to be true. There is no other way to live. Go aimlessly into the day and you may or may not luck into success. Go with purpose and faith and work hard and you will become who you want to be.

Gibsonburg: We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere.

If you are young, you might not think this is true, but country singer Tim McGraw knows that who you are and who you will become is being influenced by your parents, siblings, friends, co-workers and rivals. Choose wisely those who will help you become the person you want to be.

You’re on your own. And you know what you know. You are the one who’ll decide where to go.

You have knowledge, ability, judgment, freedom and perspective. Now, take Dr. Seuss’s advice and decide where to go.

Waite: If it rains on your parade, dance in it.

You will not avoid failure and adversity just like you cannot avoid rain drops while dancing in an April shower. If you manage to do so, you have accomplished very little, because failure and adversity are the rain drops that allow you to flower.

Baker finding new Oak Harbor business a sweet venture

By Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer twalro@presspublications.com “It’s time to make the donuts…”

Like the guy on the old commercial for a national donut chain, Tim Hepner sets his alarm for the wee hours of the morning, gets up and heads to his Oak Harbor sweet shop to make the donuts, and the breads, muffins, cookies and other sweet treats too.

Hepner opened Sweet Treats by Tim at 114 W. Water St. just over a month ago and so far, his confections have been selling like hotcakes. In fact, those who wander in to the shop too late in the business day just may be disappointed.

“When I first opened, I started with 20 dozen and I kept running out by 8:30 or 9 a.m. Then I went up to 30 dozen and sometimes I still run low or sell out,” he said.

On a recent Monday, by mid-morning the display cases held several trays containing three or four donut and pastry varieties. As the steady stream of customers rolled in, Hepner consolidated trays until just a few remained.

One customer came in in search of a loaf of rye bread. Though the shop was all out, Hepner offered to have a loaf ready for him for the next day.

A couple strolls in looking for donuts.

The gentleman chooses his quickly; his wife struggles to decide between two of the sweet treats. “Get them both, he urges.”

For Hepner, the conversation and the interaction with customers are among the best aspects of owning his own business.

“I grew up in the restaurant business.

My parents owned The Ambassador Restaurant, near the Ohio Turnpike exit at I-280,” he said. “I worked there when I was 13.”

Hepner found he enjoyed the creativity and the challenges of the business, and in 1981, he went to culinary school in San Francisco.

While on the West Coast, he’d sometimes compete in live TV cooking competitions. “That was back in the day, when I was younger and could move around faster,” he said. “I thrived on the challenge. I lost a lot but I won a couple of

Bakery owner Tim Hepner (left) arrives at the shop at 1 a.m. six days a week to make the sweet treats. (Press photo by Tammy Walro) times too.”

One of his competitors was Guy Fieri, a chef and restaurant owner known for his television series on the Food Network.

“That’s before he got popular,” Hepner said.

After spending some time in Tucson, he decided to come back to Northwest Ohio, where he worked as a chef at the Holiday Inn French Quarter and the Fremont Country Club.

“It’s a hard job working long hours plus holidays and weekends, but I really enjoyed the cooking – I just got tired of the corporate aspect of restaurant work,” he said.

While working as a chef, he started a catering business on the side, making food and specialty baked goods for corporate and other clients from his home kitchen.

As the business grew, Hepner said he needed more space, so he decided to open a shop where he could do baking and sell his products on site. His wife and

granddaughter help out too.

“This is close to home; my wife grew up here and I really like the people here – the bus drivers, the Red Hat Ladies and the ‘regulars,’” he said.

The shop features tables and a long bar – a leftover from its days as The Oaks bar – where customers can take a seat and enjoy a pastry, a cup of coffee and some conversation.

“The bar is the biggest conversation piece in this building, “ Hepner said. “I have guys who come in and talk about the old days at the bar and the good times they had.

“One time, I was talking with some of the old-timers and one of them said, ‘Your oven’s smoking.’ I forgot I had cookies in… they were burned like hockey pucks,’” he said, chuckling.

“It’s like ‘Cheers’ – where I’d like to get to know everybody’s names,” he said.

“Because even though I own the business, the customers are my bosses…they tell me

what they like and that’s what I make.”

And the customers like the fact that they can see Hepner tending to the pastries and breads in the oven throughout the morning.

In the coming weeks, they’ll probably see him practicing his cupcake frosting and piping skills, as Hepner readies for a try on “Cupcake Wars,” Food Network’s popular show that pits four of the country’s top cupcake bakers in a face off that includes three elimination challenges until only one decorator remains. The sweet prize is $10,000 and the chance to showcase their cupcakes at a special celebrity or national event.

Hepner was chosen to compete after he sent a recipe and bio to the show. He’s tentatively scheduled to fly out next month to tape an episode that will air in August.

He’ll be joined by his cake decorator. The pair will work to make cupcakes based around a theme that they won’t know until we get there. “Fortunately, we work extremely well under pressure,” he said, adding, “I’m not nervous now, but the day I get on that plane will probably be another story.”

Hepner was chosen based on his recipe for his Oreo Fix cupcake – a favorite with customers. Other popular cupcakes include the Salty Payday, though the triedand-true chocolate, white and cookies and cream also have a big following. Minicupcakes are available upon request.

The Sweet Treats menu also includes a wide assortment of donuts – baked not fried, Hepner noted, along with jumbo muffins (call for choices), and cookies, including chocolate chip, peanut butter and sugar, among other varieties.

Banana, zucchini and other bread varieties are also available. Hepner also offers cheesecakes and other cakes, including double chocolate walnut, carrot and banana cinnamon bundt cake. Wedding and special occasion cakes are available by special order.

“If you don’t see what you want, just ask,” Hepner said.

Sweet Treats by Tim is open Monday through Friday 7 a.m.-2 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m.-noon. Hepner also caters special events. For more information, call 419349-5843.

OH for OK When Steve Eulberg called his friend Kerry Patrick Clark to say he would be swinging through Ohio on his Midwest tour, the pair discussed trying to put together some sort of concert or performance.

Then came the tornados in Oklahoma.

The musicians were connected through more than just a friendship and musical respect for each other – they were determined to use their music to help the victims of the deadly Moore, Ok. tornadoes.

Eulberg, who is originally from Pemberville, has won several national dulcimer contests and has had chart-topping songs and acclaimed recordings. Clark is a former member of the folk group, the New Christy Minstrels, a Martin Guitar Preferred Artist and boasts two national number-one CDs. On Friday, June 7 at 7:30 p.m., the pair will present a concert, “Ohio Folk for Oklahoma,” at Maumee United Methodist Church, 405 Sackett St., Maumee. The concert is free, however, there will be a collection to be shared by United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) and the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.

Antique collector opens store in Elmore

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com

“

You’re never too old to start something...

“

Lilly McGill of "Lilly's Antiques and Uniques." (Press photo by Ken Grosjean)

Most 77-year-old women are busy enjoying retirement in some form or another.

But Lilly McGill is different.

McGill, a veteran in the antique industry, recently decided to open a store of her own in Elmore. The shop, Lilly’s Antiques & Uniques, is located next the post office downtown and features a variety of products.

“We have a set of very unusual items, just like a general store,” McGill said. “I love to carry just about anything from clothes to spinning wheels to different forms of women’s boutiques. We also have furniture, toys, garageware, and saddles, among other things.”

McGill, who grew up in Cape Girardeau, Mo., located along the banks of the Mississippi River, has lived in Ohio for nearly 50 years, having settled in Moline in 1966 at the age of 30.

McGill, whose six children attended Lake High School, has 19 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren and is full of vibrancy and energy. It is those qualities that have made her such a successful salesperson. That, and the fact that she loves conversing with and getting to know people.

“That’s what I’ve always loved about selling things (getting to know people),” she said. “I sold furniture when I was much younger and I got to know the people. I love when people come in and talk to me about their lives.

There are so many wonderful people out there. People would tell me their problems. I enjoy listening to them, I’m a people person.

“I’ve been associated with antiques and collectibles for about 40 years. I love doing a flea market and a show.

I’m now opening my own shop and I’m looking forward to that,” she said. “And I’ve always wanted to have my own

shop. I’m 77 years old; I’m too young to retire..”

According to McGill, who was the manager at Riverbank Antiques in Pemberville for several years and previously sold furniture at Montgomery Ward at the Southland Shopping Center in Toledo, there are items located in the front that draw the attention of both men and women – things like saddles, spinning wheels and card tables.

There are a number of other items located throughout the store, including furniture, tables, chairs, jewelry, handbags, hats, stoneware, china and glassware as well as some pictures and prints.

McGill credits her grandmother with helping to teach her the art of bartering during the 1940s. She recalls how her grandmother, who lived on a farm, would take milk, butter and eggs and head to the town’s general store and return with other products.

Needless to say, McGill is excited about what the future holds.

“I’ve always wanted to have my own shop,” said McGill, whose daughter owns Gale’s Party Shop in Gibsonburg. “Mostly, I missed not being with the people. It’s been a few years. I haven’t worked for about three years and this is the first time I’ve owned a shop. You’re never too old to start something.”

Clay softball closing in on Division I state final four

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

Clay’s Brooke Gyori scores the winning run in the bottom of the seventh as her teammates celebrate. The Eagles defeated Anthony Wayne 4-3 to advance to the Division I regional final. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/www.hehphotos.smugmug.com) team’s ace, hits third and carries a .434 average with a team-high eight doubles and 34 RBIs. However, in softball, often the most important part of the game is pitching, and the Eagles have two high-grade hurlers in Gallaher and Danielle Lorenzen. Gallaher, a first team TRAC selection last season, is 16-2 with a 1.16 ERA. She’s pitched 115 innings and her strikeout-to-walk ratio is 129 to 37, or nearly 3.5:1. The other starter, Danielle Lorenzen, is 10-1 with a 1.80 ERA in 66 innings of work. She has 40 strikeouts and only seven walks.

At Clay, where softball and baseball are already well-established perennially strong programs, this squad is only helping to enrich the softball program’s history.

“This has been a pretty special year because we haven’t made it (to regionals) for a while,” Gallaher said. “It feels great because

“

It’s awesome because we have a lot of people in the community supporting us.

“

For the second time in five years the No. 6 ranked Clay Eagles made it to the elite eight.

With a dramatic, 4-3 win over Anthony Wayne last Wednesday, Clay advanced to the Division I regional final for the first time since 2009. The Eagles have already won a Three Rivers Athletic Conference championship.

By the time this is read, the Eagles will either have advanced to the state final four or missed a trip to state by one game. In Saturday’s regional final, they faced off with either Cleveland St. Joseph (13-18) or No. 3 ranked Elyria (24-5). Elyria defeated Clay, 4-1, in the D-I regional final in ‘09.

Advancing to state would mean Clay is playing at Akron’s Firestone Stadium in a state semifinal this Thursday with the championship Saturday.

The Eagles’ win over the Generals did not come without drama. Down 1-0, Clay scored three runs in the third inning to take the lead before AW rallied to tie it at three apiece with two runs in the seventh. However, the Eagles won it in the bottom half when Lindsay Schiavone drove in Brooke Gyori with a base hit up the middle.

“It looked like we were in control and then we had a miscue and then we were in control and had another miscue,” said Clay veteran coach Brenda Radabaugh. “We’ve been successful coming back (this season).

(The girls) knew someone could come through there. They’ve been confident (and) the bats have been there all year.”

In the top of the seventh, with one out and runners on second and third, left fielder Haley Dominique made a key play to catch a line drive and doubled the runner off second to end the threat before Schiavone won it in the bottom of the inning.

It has been a dream season for Radabaugh and her girls, and reaching the state tournament was a goal.

“This has been a really nice season,” said Radabaugh. “When you coach girls, there is going to be drama. This year, they’re helping each other — they’re working hard in practice, they’re working hard to make each other better. They’re upbeat and positive; it’s a nice feeling.”

The team’s batting order consists of center fielder and lead-off hitter Honnah Susor, followed by second baseman Lindsay Schiavone, pitcher/outfielder Brooke Gallaher, third baseman Hayley Schiavone, catcher Emily Novak, Dominique, designated player Jamie Miller, shortstop Harleigh Isbell and right fielder Gyori. First baseman Hanna Cowell is also seeing her share of action at the plate, hitting .314 in 51 at-bats.

The Eagles have four of the top hitters in the area in Susor, Dominique, Hayley Schiavone and Gallaher. Susor is hitting.573 with three home runs, 21 RBIs and 28 stolen bases. Dominique, a freshman, is hitting .456 and is second on the team with 24 RBIs. Schiavone is hitting .446 and is tied with Susor and Jamie Miller with three home runs, tops on the team. Gallaher, the

we’ve put in a lot of work and it’s paid off.

The chemistry has been really good on the team this season.

“It’s awesome because we have a lot

of people in the community supporting us.

Early in the season, not a lot of people were coming to our games, but now that we’re playing well and have made it this far, there are a lot of people coming to see us.”

Radabaugh, who teaches AP Calculus and Algebra I at Clay High, is now in her 13th season with the Eagles. During her tenure, Clay has experienced nothing but success, winning nine league titles (3 GLL; 4 TCL; 2 TRAC) in three different conferences.

Radabaugh has coached softball for 26 years, the last 21 as a head coach. Before taking over at Clay, she was the skipper at Central Catholic (1992-2000) for eight years and the junior varsity coach at Clay for five years. During that time, she’s accumulated a 413-152 record, good for a .731-win percentage. During her time in Oregon, the Eagles have gone 262-94 (.736), won eight sectional titles and three district championships.

Eagles make deepest tourney run in school history

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Give a kid from the eastern Maumee Bay region a bat and glove, and he or she will someday show the state of Ohio how to play baseball or softball.

On Wednesday and Thursday last week, the community went 4-for-4 in regional semi-finals. First, two softball teams, Eastwood and Clay, won regional semi-finals, and baseball teams from Genoa and Northwood followed suit the next day.

Eastwood veteran softball coach Joe Wyant admits it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretty, but his No. 6 ranked Eagles got it done with a 4-3 victory over Green Meadows Conference champion and No. 8 ranked Sherwood Fairview (194) in a Division III game at Liberty Center Sports Center.

After taking an early 2-0 lead, the Eagles had to fight off the Apaches, who tied the game with two runs in the top of the seventh.

In the bottom of the seventh with two outs, Eastwood senior Whitney Foster hit a bloop single along the left field line to score Mackenzie Albright for the winning run.

Albright had reached second thanks to an error by Fairview shortstop Natalie Meyer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of seven by both teams combined in a game matching two teams that were supposed to be among the top 16 in the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to play a little better defense and get a couple more hits,â&#x20AC;? Wyant said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had base runners. We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the clutch hits. If we got clutch hits, we could have gotten four or five more runs.â&#x20AC;?

Nonetheless, it is as far as an Eastwood softball team has ever gotten in the tournament. Two prior teams reached the regional semi-finals. The last time, 2008, was Wyantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first season at Eastwood, and the Eagles lost 11-5 to Clyde. He hopes this year continues to be different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve performed beyond what our expectations were,â&#x20AC;? Wyant said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, I knew weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be pretty good, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be as good as we are. They play well together and they stick together, they are a very close-knit group, and we want them to keep it up.â&#x20AC;?

(Press photo by Scott Grau) Eastwood, 28-3, went into Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional final at Ashlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brookside Park against Magnolia Sandy Valley (22-7), 32 winners over No. 2 ranked Edison (228) of the Sandusky Bay Conference. If the the Eagles won, they have now qualified for the state final four at Akronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Firestone Stadium and have a chance to get 30, maybe even 31, wins.

Reaching the state tournament is beyond anything these girls ever imagined, although it has always been in the back of their minds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That would be huge,â&#x20AC;? said catcher Anna Rahrig, who had two RBIs with a two-out single against Fairview in the first

inning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be great for our seniors,â&#x20AC;?

Rahrig continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, every week that we win gets us another week with our seniors and we just love our seniors. With hard work, especially in practice, and determination, we can get there.â&#x20AC;?

Senior Emily Helm added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take a lot of teamwork between all of us. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to hit really well and our defense will have to be solid. We played well tonight and we got the hits we needed to.â&#x20AC;?

Foster not only got the winning RBI, she was also the winning pitcher in the regional semi, facing 32 batters, striking

out three, walking one, allowing six hits, and no earned runs in getting the complete game victory.

She is the ace of the staff, mentored by the former ace, older sister Christine Foster, now Wyantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant coach. For the season, Whitney is 23-2 with a 1.32 ERA in 164 innings with 132 strikeouts, 35 walks and one save.

Albright is leading Eastwood at the plate, batting .414 with five doubles, two triples, a home run, and 16 RBIs. Ten other Eastwood players are batting over .300, including top hitter Ally Gabel (.433), Cassidy Rolf (.422), Helm (.374), Foster (.350), Rahrig (.340), Diana Bushman (.330), Michelle Bunge (.321), Jessica Young (.316), and Krista Jennings (.313).

Gabel and Rolf lead the team with 39 and 37 RBIs, while Rolf has five home runs, Gabel has four, Rahrig has two, and Bushman has one. Albright and Rolf are also the team speedsters with nine stolen bases apiece.

To reach the regional tourney, Eastwood had to beat Northern Buckeye Conference champion Elmwood, 5-2, in a district final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was awesome just because during the season they won one and we won a game against them, so I guess it was a tiebreaker and they are our rival,â&#x20AC;? Whitney Foster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first inning, Elmwood scored two runs and so, obviously, that puts us on our toes on defense knowing that we have to make plays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then, Cassidy Rolf hit a home run so that got us back another run. We just wanted to drive and keep scoring more runs so we could come back and win. It was really, really intense. We had a huge crowd that day.â&#x20AC;?

Because it was the rubber match, on the mound Foster was aided with her own scouting report from facing the Royal batters before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really looking at their batters, looking at their swings to see if they are swinging more at outside or inside pitches.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve even played with a few of them (summer travel ball). Some of them I just know if I throw an inside pitch to them that they will take the ball foul â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if I throw two pitches that will get me 0-and-2 in the count.â&#x20AC;?

Nutter makes switch from Division III to D-I Big East

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Kyle Nutter committed to play tailback for Siena Heights Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football team next fall.

Genoaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time leading rusher was happy he was getting an opportunity to play at the next level. But at the same time, he was disappointed he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting that chance to fulfill his dream of playing at the Division I level.

Turns out he signed on the dotted line with Siena Heights a little too soon.

Nutter visited the University of Cincinnati on May 3 and met with first-year Bearcats running backs coach and offensive coordinator Eddie Gran, who was hired by new head coach Tommy Tuberville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Me and coach Gran had a great talk,â&#x20AC;?

Nutter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said a lot of great things.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re changing their offense and they have a new head coach and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of in need of a fullback right now. Coach Gran

thinks Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d fit in real well as a fullback.

He likes what he saw (of me) on film. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sent him an email maybe a week before I visited, just like a last-minute thing. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you why I was sending these emails out, maybe hoping for something like this to happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main reaKyle Nutter son was, there was a hole in my heart that I needed to fill. I knew in my heart I wanted to play Division I. If I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have tried it, I would have regretted it in the long run.â&#x20AC;?

Nutter said he has accepted Cincinnatiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offer to be on the squad in 2013 as a preferred walk-on. He will report to the team on June 20.

1RUWK %UDQFK 1XUVHU\ ,QF *DUGHQ &HQWHU /DQGVFDSH :KROHVDOH

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited,â&#x20AC;? Nutter said.

Nutter said he broke the news to Siena Heights head coach Jim Lyall last Friday.

Siena Heights is an NAIA school located in Adrian, Mich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love Siena Heights and I love coach Lyall and I respect him a lot,â&#x20AC;? Nutter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told him there was a hole in my heart, a dream I felt I really needed to pursue. I felt I had a great opportunity at Cincinnati and I definitely need to pursure that opportunity.

If I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, I would regret it.â&#x20AC;?

Nutter, 18, said Lyall was â&#x20AC;&#x153;very disappointedâ&#x20AC;? with Nutterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s change of heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He asked me how it happened,â&#x20AC;? Nutter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a little upset, but mostly disappointed. I think he understands where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m coming from and why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing. Overall, he understood and he wished me the best of luck, as I wished him good luck, too. He said if I ever need anything, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always there. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great guy.

We had a good relationship. He respected my decision and I think he knows that this is something I should maybe do.â&#x20AC;?

Nutter, who holds Genoa records for career rushing yards (6,017), single-season rushing yards (2,058), career touchdowns, single-season touchdowns and highest yards-per-carry average, said he has not talked to Tuberville directly. He said he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to get the 25-35 carries a game he got with the Comets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely going to be a different role, going from carrying the ball 42 times sometimes to twice a game (in college),â&#x20AC;? said the 5-foot-11, 225-pound Nutter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be doing a lot more blocking and maybe catching the ball out of the backfield. I think it will be much sweeter doing that at Cincinnati, playing Division I. I think that will kind of make up for not being the No. 1 guy, playing against the greatest competition.â&#x20AC;?

Nutter said his parents, Cheryl and John, support his decision to try playing at Cincinnati. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they definitely see where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m coming from,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They believe in me just as much as I believe in myself.â&#x20AC;?

Gibsonburg boys end Toledo Christianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9-year reign

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com In just its second year competing in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, the Gibsonburg boys track team won its first league title, ending Toledo Christianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run of nine consecutive championships.

As a team, the Golden Bears finished with 153 points, just ahead of TC, which had 144½. Cardinal Stritch Catholic, finished with 67 points.

The move to the TAAC has been a good one for Gibsonburg. Charter members of the now-defunct Suburban Lakes League for 40 years (1972-2011), the Bears are finding championship trophies easier to come by against their new conference foes.

However, the Golden Bear girls finished second at the Eastwood Division III district meet, scoring 85 2/3 points to finish behind TC (100). The Gibsonburg boys finished seventh with 32 points as Woodmore was the champion with 115 points.

The TAAC meet was especially sweet for Gibsonburg considering that they finished five points short of winning the league title last year. And they also graduated a number of key athletes from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, among them Jon Angelone, Jacob Kissell, Jared Columber, Curtis Davies and Demitrius Ernsberger.

Gibsonburg got four first-place finishes, including two from junior Andy Burmeister. Burmeister, in just his first year on the track team, won the long jump with a leap of 18 feet, 5½ inches, just a half-inch ahead of the second place finisher, and Burmeister won the 400 meter dash in 54.42 seconds.

Josh Bryan was first in the high jump (5-10) and Tyler Hovis won the shot put with a throw of 47-3. Hovis was also second in the discus (123-8).

Other individual second place finishers were Troy Ickes in the pole vault (9-6) and Jacob Merryfield in the 1,600 (4:55.09).

And the Bears put themselves over the top with a second place finish in all four relays.

Ultimately, the difference in defeating Toledo Christian was Gibsonburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depth.

The Eagles had nine first place finishes to the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; four, but Gibsonburg was able to win because of its ability to pick up points with third-, fourth- and fifth-place finishes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pretty happy,â&#x20AC;? said Gibsonburg coach Glenn Owens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was pretty exciting. The kids were really excited. We talked

at the beginning of the year about winning the TAAC. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure the guys actually thought it would happen.â&#x20AC;?

Burmeister said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winning the TAAC for the first time and snapping TCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run of consecutive (titles) felt great,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have done it without a

team effort and everyone doing their part and maybe a little a luck. We worked really hard to get to this point. Coming into the year, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure everyone wanted to (pick) TC in the TAAC. Coach pushed us a lot the last three weeks to get us ready and that paid off.â&#x20AC;?

Burmeister, who is the starting center on the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball team, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t join the track team until this spring. In fact, he had planned on working to get better at basketball, but was encouraged by some of his track teammates to join the squad. Burmeister had played baseball during his first two years of high school before making the switch.

The Gibsonburg girls fared well, too, finishing second behind TC. The Eagles came away with 163 points and the Lady Bears, led by the Reynolds twins, Colleen and Kendall, finished with 135 points.

Colleen had three individual firstplace finishes, winning the 100 (12.64), 200 (25.83) and 400 (1:00.76). She was also part of the 4x400 relay team of Isabel Del Toro, Reynolds, Selena Alejandro and Kendall Reynolds that finished first in 4:30.08.

Second place finishers included Kendall Reynolds, who was second in three events â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the 100 (12.69), 200 (26.13) and 400 (1:00.93). Courtney Ksenich was second in the 1,600 (5:52.99), Hannah Ersnthausen was second in the high jump (4-8) and the 4x800 relay team of Kelleigh Beatty, Johanna Wilruth, Molly Burkett and Ksenich finished in 11:15.13.

Colleen and Kendall Reynolds went on to finish one-two at the district meet in three events. In the 100, Colleen and Kendall finished in 12.57 and 12.65 seconds, respectively. They also finished one-two in the 400 in 60.33 and 60.49 seconds and in the 200 in 26.29 and 26.78 Cardinal Stritch Catholic freshman Abbie Reichert, sophomore Cailyn Horna, freshman Kama Hardy, and freshman Kali Hardy won the district 4x100 relay in 52.5 seconds. The Stritch girls finished sixth out of 15 teams scoring with 46 points.

Stritch sophomore Tim Lynn won the 3,200 meter run in 10:21.3. The boys were eighth out of 15 teams, scoring 29 points.

Wolff takes Conkle making the best of final go-around it up a notch

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com You would think asking an eighthgrader to take up competing in the pole vault would be a tough sell.

That wasn’t necessarily the case with Eastwood junior Elise Wolff.

“I was in gymnastics for a long time and coach (Nikki) Sabo told me to try it and I was like, all right,” Wolff said. “I just kind of went into it really not knowing what it was. It wasn’t intimidating, because I was used to heights.”

Sabo, Eastwood’s girls’ track and field coach, said the Eagles’ coaches often look for gymnasts to try the pole vault because of their upper body strength. Sabo recalled not getting much resistance from Wolff.

She said, Elise Wolff “Sure, I’ll give it a try,’ ” Sabo said. “It takes guts to try it. Each year she gets better and better.

She is a hard worker, and she’s very competitive. She gives you everything she has and she’s coachable.”

Wolff, who is coached by Sabo’s husband, Brian, the Eastwood boys track coach, and assistant coach Ethan Downey, a former standout pole vaulter at Otsego, has not only turned into a decent pole vaulter, she’s a record-setting vaulter.

“I think I picked up on it pretty quick,” she said. “My coaches really helped me lot. They were great and made it easy to learn. I like that it’s unique. Not many people are like, hey, I’m a pole vaulter. I really think when you have a good run and get a PR, the feeling after that is indescribable.

PR’ing is definitely the fun part.”

The Eagles won the Northern Buckeye Conference championship two weeks ago – their 13th straight league title – with a lot of help from Wolff. She set a meet record in the 100meter hurdles (16.41) and in the pole vault with a personal-best effort of 103. The previous school record was 98, and she set an NBC meet record last season with a vault of 9-3.

How did she go from a PR of 9-3 last season to 10-3 this spring?

“This winter I went harder in the weight room and had indoor practices almost every Sunday,” Wolff said. “We had indoor meets. I was practicing in the winter going into my sophomore year, but not as hard. I played volleyball my freshman year going into my sophomore year and it got into my time. I just managed to make it to more practices and more meets in the pole vault.”

Wolff qualified for the state indoor meet in late March in Akron, but she had a rough day. She placed 12th with a vault of 8-6.

“I was happy I got there,” she said, “but I was disappointed with my height.

I cleared nine (feet) a lot during indoor season. I just couldn’t do it that day.”

Wolff is the Eagles’ third-leading scorer this season despite basically competing in just the 100 hurdles and pole vault. Wolff took second in the pole vault and third in the 100 hurdles at last week’s Division II district meet at Oak Harbor.

“My main goal is to make it to state,” Wolff said. “It all depends on what I do at that (particular) meet that really matters. I have confidence that I can get there.”

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

Eastwood senior sprinter Isaiah Conkle knew this was going to be his last goround, so he figured he might as well make the best of it.

Conkle, a standout running back for the Eagles’ football team and one of the top 100- and 200-meter runners in the area, entered the spring track and field season hoping to qualify for his third state meet and have a little fun along the way.

“It’s probably been one of the ‘funnest’ years in terms of competing and just being around the guys,” he said. “There’s never a dull moment with them. It’s always fun. We’re always serious and focused, but we always have time to have fun and joke around a lot. I’m really happy with the way things have gone. I’ve been confident the whole year and it’s helped me build up for (districts) and, hopefully, the next three weeks.”

Conkle won the 200 and set the Northern Buckeye Conference meet record in the 100 (11.03) for the second straight year at last week’s NBC meet. He also was on the winning 4x100 relay team with sophomore Devin Snowden, junior Steve Bruning and sophomore Brennan Seifert, helping the Eagles capture their 13th straight league championship.

Conkle was named the meet’s outstanding male track athlete for the second straight year.

“I try not to think about it,” he said of winning the award. “If it happens, it happens. It’s nothing too big to stress about. If you go out and do your thing — I think I did — it should happen.”

Conkle was voted one of Eastwood’s four captains this season, and coach Brian Sabo said he is “proud” of the type of leader Conkle has become.

“He’s grown as a person,” Sabo said.

“He really encourages the younger kids.

It doesn’t matter who you are. He treats everybody with great respect, including coaches. All year long it’s been ‘Whatever the team needs me to do.’ That’s a pretty big statement.”

Conkle said becoming more of a leader, especially for the younger athletes, was important to him going into his senior track season.

“The fundamentals I learned came from my coaches and friends, like my brother (Zach) and friends of his,” Conkle said. “If you don’t build a good relationship with the underclassmen, then you’re doing something wrong. You have to have that stronger base beneath you if you want to them to follow your lead and lead by example.”

Conkle helped garner plenty of points for the Eagles at last week’s Division II district meet at Oak Harbor. He won the 100, took second in the 200 and helped the 4x100 and 4x200 relays win their events.

Sabo put Conkle in a handful of 4x400 events this season, and Conkle said training for the longer sprint helped him in other events.

“I started doing 400 workouts and it helped me for the 100 and 200,” he said, “because I would finish both of them and not even be tired and it would build my endurance. That (relay) is probably my favorite event. I used to like the 200, but once I did the 4x400, you can’t beat that. It’s the race of men and it’s a lot more satisfying.

You have to rely on everyone. The fun part is seeing who wants it the most.”

Conkle has competed in two state meets. Two years ago he was a member of the Eagles’ 4x100 and 4x200 relays. Last season he qualified in the 100, 200 and 4x100.

“This is definitely the ‘funnest’ part of the season,” Conkle said. “I don’t want to leave districts or regionals and have any regrets. I want to go out and say I gave it my best shot.”

Woodmore boys track wins district track title

By Dylan Rowland Staff Writer Window To Woodmore Woodmore’s track and field has had a very successful season, which is rapidly coming to an end.

Head coach Brian Ryman of sprints and pole vault and his assistant coaches, Britten Devier of mid-distance and long jump, Mike Pendleton of discus and shot put and Cindy Butler of distance, have all had a major contributing factor in the teams’ overall successful season.

Ryman ran track in high school and was a five-time All-American at Ashland University and approaches coaching with a very positive attitude.

“Coaching track is not a job, it’s a privilege, and I enjoy being there for the athletes’ accomplishments,” said Ryman.

Pendleton was the throws coach for his daughters Emily, Erin and Carly, who were all state champions and who all have had successful throwing experience at the collegiate level.

This year’s track and field season has nearly come to an end for seniors Andrew Shrewsbury, Michael Travis, Karli Keaton, Ryan Sandwisch, Megan Pendleton, Dylan Rowland, Matt Zatko, Mikayla Baer, Kaleb Parez and Matt Robleski, all of which have had a great season to remember.

Although the team has had some minor setbacks throughout the season with prolonged injuries, the team has still seen some amazing accomplishments for the individual runners.

The Woodmore boys won the Division III district championship at Eastwood with 115 points, downing runners-up Toledo Christian (91) by 14 points. The Wildcat girls were third, scoring 80½ points to finish behind Toledo Christian (100) and Gibsonburg (85.67).

Vets, Blessitt, hosting Detroit Tigers bus trip The Vietnam Veterans of America, Greater Toledo Chapter, is sponsoring a bus trip to Comerica Park to see the Detroit Tigers play the Baltimore Orioles on June 19.

Game time is 1 p.m. in Detroit.

Gene Shurtz, treasurer of the local chapter, said tickets for the game and bus trip are available to not only veterans, but also the general public.

“We have announced the baseball game trip to our Vietnam veterans, and to the local VFW and American Legion organizations, and now we want to let everyone know this is a great opportunity to take their child or grandchild to a major league game,” said Shurtz. “We could certainly use a little help filling up the bus.”

The chartered Lakefront Lines bus seats 56 passengers. The cost of the bus trip is $55 which includes a game ticket in the lower reserved section, bus fare, and a free hot dog and pop at the game. On the bus there will be prizes to give away from local merchants. The bus will depart from Mathews Ford, Oregon.

Perhaps the biggest highlight will be the chance to meet former Detroit Tigers players, such as Ike Blessitt, who will be riding the bus to the game and Tom Matchick who is scheduled to be at Mathews Ford to greet those going on the bus trip. At the stadium, Ike Blessitt has arranged for Willie Horton, Gates Brown, and Craig Monroe, to meet the bus.

Matchick, Horton, and Brown all played on the 1968 Detroit Tiger team that won the World Series. Blessitt played for the Toledo Mud Hens and the 1972 Tigers team. Blessitt hosted a free baseball clinic in Oregon, last July.

Comets, Rightnowar showing tourney foes who’s boss

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com There wasn’t a lot of bravado in Luke Rightnowar’s voice following his 8-3 complete-game victory over Lima Central Catholic on Thursday in the Division III regional semifinals in Elida.

The sophomore right-hander was merely stating what he and the rest of the young Comets have been feeling for quite a few weeks now.

“If we play the way we can,” Rightnowar said, “I think we can beat anyone.”

The win over the Thunderbirds, last year’s D-III state runner-up, was the 14th in 16 games for surging Genoa (20-9), which advanced to Friday’s regional title game against eighth-ranked Bloom-Carroll (24-4).

By now, readers know whether the Comets defeated Bloom-Carroll and advanced to the state final four at Huntington Park in Columbus.

This year marks the Comets’ first appearance in the regional tournament since 2000. They haven’t won a regional since the 1999 season, when Rightnowar, 16, and many of his current teammates were still learning how to walk.

Rightnowar, who improved to 9-0, held Lima CC to two hits through six innings and finished with a four-hitter, allowing three walks and striking out one. Genoa trailed 2-0 after one inning after allowing two unearned runs on a throwing error.

“The guys did what we do,” said second-year Genoa coach Ron Rightnowar, Luke’s father. “We played good defense and Luke kept us in it. Finally, we got our running game going and (Lima CC) couldn’t control it once we started running. We had four or five stolen bases and I think it took some starch out of them.”

Luke, whose leadoff double started a five-run rally in the bottom of the sixth inning, said he just had to stay focused after falling behind by two runs in the top of the first.

“I just threw strikes and I knew the defense would back me up and the offense would start going,” he said. “I had to throw

Genoa's Cody Pickard beats the throw to score as teammates look on during the Comet's 8-3 rout over Lima Central Catholic behind the pitching of senior Luke Rightnowar. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/www.hehphotos.smugmug.com) strikes. I didn’t walk too many people and I made them put it in play.”

Rightnowar entered the regional semis with a 2.49 ERA in 45 innings, with 25 strikeouts and 12 walks. He and junior Alex Hayes have pulled their weight on the mound for much of the season.

“Luke just kept coming on toward the end of the year,” said Ron, who pitched for the Milwaukee Brewers in 1995. “We had some kids leave the team that were pitchers, for various reasons. Luke was in the rotation but was our No. 3-4 starter and he did well in those starts. When other guys left the team,

Bay Area Concrete

he and Alex moved up into the 1-2 slot and Luke just kept getting better and better. Alex pitched two complete games against (Northern Buckeye Conference champion) Otsego.

They’re both capable.”

Luke is certainly carving his own niche in the Rightnowar family.

His oldest brother, Jake, was the Toledo Area Athletic Conference Player of the Year for Toledo Christian in 2009. Nick Rightnowar was an All-TAAC shortstop at Toledo Christian and a two-time TAAC Player of the Year in football as a quarterback.

Their father, who has coached all three

boys, said he has talked with Luke about being himself and not trying to outperform his older brothers.

“He’s his own guy,” Ron said. “He knows his dad played (professionally) and his brothers were successful. He understands he has to be Luke. He can’t be Nick and he can’t be Jake. They’re all a little bit different. He has far exceeded my expectations.”

Luke, who stands 6-foot-1 and weighs 160 pounds, said he takes comparisons to his brothers in stride.

“People always mess around with me about it, about what they did, and they joke around,” he said. “I know I’m not going to be them, so I just have to do what I do best.

I can’t be them, so there’s no point in really trying.”

Luke has had to overcome more than his family’s reputation. Three years ago he fell awkwardly off the mound and snapped two bones in his left (non-throwing) arm.

“It was a gruesome break,” Ron said.

“It really set him back.”

Luke took more than a year off from baseball and returned to play as a freshman last season at Toledo Christian, where his father used to be the head baseball coach.

Ron took over at Genoa in 2012.

“When we made the move to Genoa, that gave me chance to work with him,” Ron said. “He enjoys baseball and he’s always been a very good pitcher, playing travel ball. He pitched a lot of ball as a kid.

He had done more than most 13- and 14year-olds by that time anyway, so he was ahead of the game. Getting back into baseball, now it’s just kind of coming back to him. He looks like the old Luke, just attacking hitters and working hard.”

Luke said he knew it was just a matter of time before he could get back on the mound.

“I knew I would eventually,” he said.

“I just love to pitch. It just took a while to get back into it. It was also good at the same time, taking a break from it and letting everything come back to me and not rush into it. Part of me was, I don’t want to pitch. It took time to let go of the fact that it happened, that I wasn’t scared to pitch again.”

eek: Blessed are the Poor in Spirit

What does it mean to be "poor in spirit?" And why did Jesus counsel that the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who are poor in spirit? If we look at the relevant passages of scripture, it becomes clear that being poor in spirit is directly compared with a spirit of poverty, and is the essence of what God wants from us. Consider Isaiah 66:2.: "But this is the man to whom I will look, he that is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word." And in the Beatitudes, Jesus makes it abundantly clear that those who come before

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."

Your Services Change, Your Prices Change, Why Does Your Yellow Page Ad Stay The Same?

An ad should be flexible... Like your business.

Not chiseled in stone like a stagnant yellow page ad.

So if you’re choosing between The Press Expert Section and the yellow pages, consider this...

With cell phones, caller i.d., internet directories, search engines and competing phone books there is less reason to go to a phone book with your ad in it. On the other hand, you have The Press in your hands just like your potential customers living or working in 33,892 homes and businesses in your market area. For less than $21 a week, you can reach them in The Press Expert Section.

1

frequently change the size and copy of your ad in The Press to advertise seasonal offers, 2 Youspecialcanprices, new products & new services. lively issue of The Press is full of news, information and features from 20 towns and their 3 Each surrounding areas in Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky and Wood Counties. More than 475 businesses and individuals use The Press each week to sell goods and services.

ROBERT J. HILLE Case No. 09-CVE-597 Treasurer, Ottawa County, Ohio Plaintiff, â&#x20AC;&#x201C;vâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; Judge Bruce Winters Parcels of Land Encumbered with Delinquent Tax Liens, et al., Defendant(s).

Whereas, judgment has been rendered against certain parcels of real property for taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, interest, and costs as set out at the end hereof.

The Ottawa County Prosecutor has determined that the publication of the complete legal descriptions is not necessary to provide reasonable notice of the foreclosure sale to potential bidders; however, a complete legal description may be obtained from the Ottawa County Prosecutorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, 315 Madison Street, Suite 205, Port Clinton, Ohio 43452.

Whereas, such judgment orders such real property to be sold or otherwise disposed of according to law by the undersigned to satisfy the total amount of such judgment; Now, therefore, public notice is hereby given that I, Lawrence Hartlaub, Ottawa County Auditor, will either dispose of such property according to law or sell such real property at public auction, for cash, to the highest bidder of an amount that equals at least the total amount of the judgment, including all taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest payable subsequent to the delivery to the prosecuting attorney of the delinquent land tax certificate or master list of delinquent tracts and prior to the transfer of the deed of the property to the purchaser following confirmation of sale between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., at the Emergency Operations Center in the basement of the Ottawa County Courthouse, 315 Madison Street, Port Clinton, Ohio, on the 2nd day of July, 2013. If any parcel does not receive sufficient bid or is not otherwise disposed of according to law, it may be offered for sale, under the same terms and conditions of the first sale at at the same time of day and at the same place, on the 16th day of July, 2013, for an amount that equals the total amount of the judgment, including all taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest payable subsequent to the delivery to the prosecuting attorney of the delinquent land tax certificate or master list of delinquent tracts and prior to the transfer of the deed of the property to the purchaser following confirmation of sale.

Public notice is hereby given that all the parcels to be sold at public auction will be sold subject to all liens and encumbrances with respect to the parcel, other that the liens for land taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest for which the lien was foreclosed and in satisfaction of which the property is sold.
