Schools organize support for levy

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Although it’s months away, the Oregon City School District is rallying community support of a 3.95-mill levy that will be on the November ballot.

Voters have rejected three previous attempts by the district to get an operating levy passed The financially strapped district would collect $1.9 million annually if the levy passes. It would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $138 annually.

Voters have rejected three previous attempts by the district to get an operating levy passed The last time voters approved an operating levy was in 2008 when a 5.9mill levy was passed.

If the 3.95-mill levy is approved by voters this fall, the revenue would provide the district’s 3,800 students continued access to elementary art and the fitness club, intermediate school 6th grade camp, junior high Washington, DC trip, high school musicals, athletics, and marching band, according to Superintendent Hal Gregory.

“It will allow Clay High School to remain a comprehensive high school providing local career-technical programming, keeping Clay students at Clay. Career technical programs serve over 50 percent of all junior and senior students and impact nearly 75 percent of all students at Clay,”

“

It will allow Clay High School to remain a comprehensive high school...

“

Last year, Clay High School freshman Ally Hommel was asked to paint the names of 45 soldiers who died in battle.

For her, it became much more than painting names of fallen heroes.

The 45 names, who all attended Clay, went next to the Freedom Shrine mural and plaques on the wall across from social studies teacher Chris Klosterman’s room.

It took Hommel 18 months, but with the help of art teacher Kristin Wamer, Ally not only painted their names in a color coded serif font, she took the project further.

Hommel decided she wanted to know more about these soldiers, so she began researching their lives. She says it changed her “in a positive way.”

It wasn’t until 300 people showed up for the Annual Clay Alumni Memorial Concert on May 21 that Klosterman realized how much Hommel’s research affected her. Ally, who just completed her sophomore year at Clay, was a guest speaker.

“Ally got up, and I didn’t how much this hit her,” Klosterman said. “I’m standing in the audience out there. I got dead center — I wanted to get some eye contact with her to kind of reassure her, and she got halfway through it and her voice broke and cracked. She gave way, but she got through it, and I would be surprised if there was a dry eye there.”

Part of Hommel’s speech went like this, “It was an experience that forever changed me and that I’ll never forget. When I was first asked by Mr. Klosterman to paint the names of Clay’s fallen soldiers outside of his room, I was actually pretty nervous, but curious.

“I thought of myself as a pretty artistic person, but had never done anything close to what he was thinking. When I accepted his offer, it was the beginning of a very long and emotional journey.”

She continued, “When I started getting more comfortable with the wall, making stencils, and painting the names, it was an awesome feeling. But, there was part of me reaching for a deeper relationship with it. I needed to get to know these men. I needed to see their faces, know who they were and learn what had happened to them.

“I got some of the old yearbooks and started searching. I was looking through and I still remember seeing their faces for

said Gregory.

“Our community has come to expect and has always supported these activities,” he said. “The outcome of the November levy will determine the future of these activities and programs. Our community leaders understand the critical nature of support for the levy. With community support, the district will continue providing all current activities for students both in and out of the classroom.”

The district has reduced spending for many years, having one of the lowest “cost per pupil” in the area, lower than the state average, according to Gregory. The district, he added, has been “hit very hard” by how state taxes are distributed to schools over the years. “We have adjusted accordingly, and now need additional funds to sustain current activities.”

Public schools are required by law to have a positive financial balance in its bud-

get at the end of each year. “There are only two options available to address our financial situation: Raise revenue from local levies, or reduce expenditures with personnel reductions,” he said.

Without additional revenue, the district will have “difficult decisions” to make, he said, including: • The implementation of a plan to shift Clay High School Career Technical programming and personnel costs to a joint vocational school, which would result in an automatic 3.2-mill un-voted property tax in Oregon/Jerusalem Township going directly to the joint vocational school.

• Personnel and busing for programs and activities beyond the standard school day would be reduced, including elementary and intermediate clubs and junior high/ high school musicals, athletics and marching band; • Actual costs of using schools facilities would be charged to outside groups.

In addition, if the levy is defeated, the amount of millage needed to sustain current programs dramatically increases, potentially doubling next May, said Gregory.

The district continues to lose money due to a reduction in property taxes and the state government phasing out tangible personal property taxes for businesses, which created budgetary shortfalls for Oregon and many other school districts in Ohio.

Craft store plans to open on Navarre Ave.

By Press Staff Writer Management of the Pat Catan’s Craft Centers plans to open a new store in Oregon

by October.

The Strongsville, Ohio-based company has an agreement to lease a building on Navarre Avenue, according to Craig Catanzarite, who oversees the company’s retail development efforts. “There is a lot of work to do,� he said. “The owner is putting in a new ceiling and floor as well as paint. We’re going to have a classroom in there where we’ll teach craft classes and scrapbooking. We’re also going to have a custom frame shop.�

He said the building is about 45,000 square feet, placing it among the company’s larger stores. “Our average size store is probably closer to 35,000 square feet. So this is a big commitment,� Catanzarite said.

The company plans to install shelving at the site by mid-August followed by stocking of inventory.

Catanzarite said the company has been looking to open a site in the Toledo area. “We try to find opportunities in Ohio that aren’t too far from our distribution center where there might be a need or a gap and not much competition,� he said.

“We more or less saw a need for a craft store in that market. We carry a broad selection.

We’re very good in jewelry and wedding supplies and floral. We’ll have a pretty good size room so kids can have birthday parties there.�

According to its website, the company has 28 stores in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and W. Virginia, including outlets in Monroe, Mich. and Sandusky, O.

“We do well in the Monroe market and we’ve never tried anything in the Toledo area so we thought it was a good opportunity,� Catanzarite said.

According to the Lucas County Auditor’s website, the property is owned by the Joseph Brothers Co. A Food Town grocery store was located at the site until Spartan Foods began selling stores around 2003.

Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is accepting reservations for Marsh Madness Day Camp – a free camp that provides children ages 8-12 with the opportunity to explore the natural world through hands-on environmental programming. The session runs from 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. the week of June 22-26 at the refuge, located at 14000 W. SR 2, Oak Harbor.

To register a child or for more info, call Justin Woldt at 419-898-0014.

Registration is on a first-come, firstserved basis.

The Wood County Humane Society (WCHS) is looking for a few good foster families and has planned a special event this June to introduce potential fosters to the fostering program.

On Sunday, June 7 from 2-4 p.m., the organization will host a kitten shower at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites on East Wooster Street in Bowling Green. The event is intended to provide those interested in becoming fosters an opportunity to learn more about the fostering experience.

Participants also will get a sneak peek at some of the organization’s future adoptables.

The event is open to the public.

More information on adopting and/ or volunteering is available at www. woodcountyhumanesociety.org.

Fallen heroes Continued from front page the first time and I had such an overwhelming feeling that tears started to fill my eyes.

To think that some of these men were sophomores, juniors, and seniors is a big part that gets me. That the boys I know, or that I’m friends with, could be in the same position as all these men were, it’s very scary and also an honoring feeling. “I also got ahold of a book of the men and some of their information — things like the year they graduated or last went to school, what branch they were in, what activities they were involved in, their awards, and what happened to them on the their last day. Not all of the men had their stories about how they died, but some did. Reading their stories and imaging how their families and friends must have felt was by far more difficult than any other task in this project. “This wall has a very deep and honorable meaning to not only these men, but

also every veteran here and in the United States. These men to me are my absolute heroes. Every soldier who is fighting still, has fought, or who lost their life fighting is the bravest and most honorable men to me.

They do and have done all of this for what we have today as a country.�

Hommel’s addition of 45 names to the Freedom Shrine has already been critically acclaimed by her art teacher, Kristin Wamer, of course. “I think it’s fabulous — it’s gorgeous, beautiful to look at — the way that she has laid it out, the color coating,� Wamer said. “You look at it, and it’s a work of art, but there’s more to it that allows you to stop and reflect, and kind of dig a little deeper. I know that it’s caused us to talk about how we can take this to the next step. “She really got to know each person, a little about them to kind of honor them as she painted their name. She really took to heart their story. I just think it changed Ally.

Obviously, she’s matured in 18 months as any student would, but she’s really taken a look at what others in our community have given and how it changed their life.�

Meaning of history Klosterman, Wamer, and Principal Jim Jurski said Ally had no idea how long the artistic part of this project would take.

It was an addition to a project that began when the high school was renovated years ago. “As a freshman, I don’t think she understood what she was getting herself into,� Klosterman said. “I didn’t either — how big and how complex, but we wanted to do it right, and we needed to take our time and lay it out. There was a lot of planning that went into it. There was probably just as much planning as the actual time painting.�

Of the 45 fallen heroes, 33 were killed in World War II, eight in Vietnam, one in Korea, and three died “in service to their country.� Each name is color-coded to match the war or conflict the soldier served, and the names correspond to the names on the World War II and Korean memorials at the entrance to Clay Memorial Stadium. “This is quite a project for her. She did a very nice job,� Jurski said. “Before our addition, this portion — the plaques, the Freedom Shrine was down by our gymnasium and when we redid our building and

(Press photo by Ken Grosjean) added on, we brought the plaques up front and our art teacher painted the flag as a background and things like that, and Mr. Klosterman came up with the idea last year about adding our ‘fallen’ to the wall.�

Klosterman said he knew Hommel was the right person for this project when she first started taking his class. “She was a freshman, but I saw something in her in my history class when I was talking about historical things — you can sometimes see some depth in kids who are very special and they ‘get’ the meaning of history,� Klosterman said. “I just saw someone with some depth to her. It’s the only word I can think of, and then I heard multiple times that she was artistic. I thought, ‘That’s the type of per-

son who can do this.’ So, I threw it out to her and she said, ‘Yeah.’ I didn’t know how complex it would be. I know Mrs. Wamer did, but I don’t think Ally did, but it turned out fantastic.�

Not all of the “fallen� received diplomas because some left school to fight overseas during WWII. However, there could be more names not yet discovered, or, God forbid, there are Clay students serving in the Middle East this day and everyone prays they will stay out harm’s way. And, who knows what lies in our country’s future? “I already thought of that, and I told Ally at the Clay memorial concert that if that happens, we are going to track her down and ask her to come back and add that name to the wall,� Klosterman said.

Twp. pays tribute to cemetery sexton

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Still stunned by the death of Dan Sprinski, the township’s cemetery sexton, the Lake Township trustees Tuesday began their meeting with a moment of silence in his memory.

Jeff Pettit, chairman of the board of trustees, said Sprinski, 47, had worked for the township since 1999. In 2014, he was promoted to sexton, replacing Gary Schulte, who retired.

Sprinski had a wife and two children, Pettit said.

Pettit said Schulte has offered to return to work at the cemetery on a temporary basis and help mentor Joe Sujkowski, a fulltime cemetery employee.

“There may be Public Employee Retirement System issues,” Pettit said of retaining Schulte.

The trustees agreed to rehire Schulte as an independent contractor.

Mark Hummer, township administrator, praised Sujkowski and other employees for getting the cemetery ready for Memorial Day – the day Sprinski died.

He said Sujkowski is “very respectful of the shoes he stepping into.”

When the trustees promoted Sprinski in February of last year, Melanie Bowen, a trustee, called him the “logical choice” for the sexton’s job and told him he had some “big shoes to fill,” alluding to Schulte, who was sexton for 27 years and a 30-year employee of the cemetery.

In other business, the trustees agreed to seek renewal in November of a 1-mill, 5-year levy used to fund road repairs.

The trustees opted to seek renewal of the levy, rather than replacement, because of a provision in state law that disallows the 10 percent property tax rollback on owner occupied homes on replacement issues, which are based on current property valuations.

Renewal requests are based on valuations in effect the year a levy is passed.

“It hamstrings us greatly,” said Bowen, of the provision.

Hooray!

Board appoints new member

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Woodmore school board has a new member and differing legal opinions on whether he was appointed to the seat in accordance with state law.

During a special May 31 meeting Steve Huss, board president, and Julie Bowman and Corinna Bench voted to appoint Dan Hoppe to the seat vacated last month by Grant Cummings.

Board member Joe Liszak said Monday he declined to attend the meeting and informed other board members by email of his intent to not participate in the vote after receiving an opinion from Norm Solze, assistant Sandusky County prosecutor, on

Police Beats Crime log Lake Twp. –A dispatch/directional unit was reported stolen May 21 from a truck parked at the Loves Truck Plaza, Baker Road.

• A resident of the 28000 block of Main Street on May 22 reported someone obtained her credit card information to make an unauthorized purchase.

• A resident of the 3700 block of Lakepointe Drive on May 22 reported someone obtained her credit card information to make an unauthorized purchase.

• A resident of the 5900 Libbey Road on May 18 reported the theft of various power tools.

• A resident of the 28000 block of Main Street on May 26 reported someone removed her bank card from her vehicle while parked in her driveway and made unauthorized purchases.

• Kathryn L. Armstrong, 34, Perrysburg, was charged May 29 with aggravated menacing after allegedly threatening another employee at the Denny’s Restaurant, Warns Drive.

• Meghan P. McMahon, 22, Bradner, was charged May 29 with theft after allegedly stealing merchandise from the Loves Truck Plaza.

• Charles L. Kizer, 29, Toledo, was charged May 28 with violating a protection order.

• Ronald L. Stemen, 28, Walbridge, was charged May 28 with menacing by stalking.

the appointment procedure.

In a May 29 email to Liszak, Solze states he agrees with an earlier opinion by Jim Stucko, an attorney with a Columbus law firm retained by the school board, which says state law requires a school board to fill a vacancy no sooner than 10 days from when the seat was officially vacated but within 30 days of the vacancy.

Another provision requires a board to act on a vacancy during its next regular or special meeting after the 10-day start date becomes effective and before the 30-day limit. If the seat isn’t filled during that time, the appointment would be made by a probate court.

The Stucko opinion says, “If the board filled the vacancy during its second meeting after the vacancy was created, even if it was still within the 10 to 30 day window, it would not comply with the statute.”

Mark Mulligan, Ottawa County prosecutor, also concurred with Stucko’s opinion after being asked by Liszak last month to research the matter.

The board’s first regular meeting after Cummings resigned was May 19 but the three board members present, Huss, Bench and Liszak couldn’t reach agreement on a candidate, prompting Huss to schedule the special meeting.

Another attorney retained by the board, Tim McCarthy, offered a differing opinion during that meeting that cleared the way for the board to vote on Hoppe, who was one of five persons to seek the appointment.

Sandusky County Probate Judge Brad Smith told The Press if a Woodmore resident or board member were to challenge the appointment it wouldn’t be decided by the probate court.

“In essence, that would have to be challenged through a lawsuit or an appeal of some type if they think the board acted inappropriately,” he said. “None of those things come to my office just because I’m the one who fills the vacancy.”

In the seven years he’s been probate judge, he’s never had to fill a school board vacancy, the judge said.

Bat research

Researchers from the University of Akron and Kent State University have been studying the migratory patterns of bats at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. Using mist nets to capture the nocturnal creatures, researchers collect data from three species of tree-roosting bats such as body weight and length. They install miniature radio transmitters on their backs to follow their movements. Heidi Hughes, executive director of the refuge, said that compared to birds and insects, little is know about the seasonal movements of bats. Pictured, Shaylin Hatch, University of Akron researcher, removes a big brown bat from the mist net as refuge volunteer Becky Shortridge of Port Clinton, watches.

Gospel concert Enjoy an afternoon of music and family activities Sunday, June 14 during the Gospel Music Concert and Faith & Family Day at Sauder Village, Archbold.

During the afternoon concert, the sounds of gospel music will fill the air as the 3rd Row Boys and Freedom Quartet perform in Founder’s Hall. Pianist Jim Stewart will open the concert at 3:30 p.m.

The 3rd Row Boys was founded by four young men from Indianapolis, Indiana who sang together on the third row of their church choir. Realizing their love for harmony and a desire to sing and minister outside the walls of their local church, the 3rd Row Boys ministry was born. The group includes Mark Heskett, Aaron Baker, Josh Ranke and Brandon Tiek.

New this year, Sauder Village has also planned a “Faith and Family Day” as part of the annual Gospel Music Concert event.

Throughout the afternoon guests can enjoy special music in the Holdeman Church and hymn singing in St. Mark’s Church. There will be old-fashioned games to play on the Village Green, free face painting and even a fun lamb craft activity for children to make.

For more information, call 800-5909755, visit www.saudervillage.org or follow the village on Facebook or Twitter and Instagram.

Early childhood centers

WSOS Early Childhood Center in Perrysburg/Rossford capped off its preschool year by achieving National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accreditation.

Along with the Perrysburg/Rossford center’s achievement, the WSOS Early Childhood Center in Genoa also earned National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accreditation, while WSOS Port Clinton Learning Center achieved a five-star Step Up To Quality (SUTQ) rating – the highest possible – from the Ohio Departments of Education and Job and Family Services.

To earn NAEYC accreditation, Perrysburg/Rossford and Genoa centers met 10 standards including curriculum, teaching, health, leadership and other standards. Along with applying, conducting self-evaluations, and submitting documentation, centers also had site visits from NAEYC prior to receiving accreditation.

To receive its five-star SUTQ rating, the WSOS Port Clinton Learning Center met high program standards for learning and development, administration and leadership, staff qualifications and professional development, and family and community partnerships.

A cautionary tale To the editor: Congratulations to all you new graduates. You’ve spent countless dollars and plenty of time and effort getting your diploma; now come the job interviews.

Allow me to tell you a cautionary tale that may save you some time, money and aggravation. A young bride and her army soldier husband are out of state. He has served his country well with multiple deployments into active war zones. She is employed, college-educated and smart.

Money is tight; they have been married for less than a year.

They are preparing for his discharge from the army and are both actively seeking employment in our area in anticipation of moving home. The bride is overjoyed to obtain an interview with a reputable Toledo area non-profit. The phone interview went well and she made it to the next round – the in-person interview.

The non-profit gave her less than a week to book a flight and be in their facility for an interview. She had never flown and had no experience with long-distance interviewing. The lowest fare didn’t work with her schedule so she scheduled the only other direct flight available.

The non-profit asked her to pay for her travel with her credit card and said they would reimburse her for the expense. They didn’t give her any indication of a cap on these expenses or ask her to confirm the cost with them before booking. She flew in, had the interview and they wrote her a check for the total amount of the flight.

They told her they weren’t surprised by the cost of her flight because of the short notice. Her family members provided all her extensive transportation to and from the airports, housing and meals.

After a long day of interviewing and travel, she arrived home to an email that was written after the non-profit interviewed the three finalists. They now told her they were stopping payment on the check and would reissue another check for a fraction of the amount the flight had cost, leaving her on the hook for the balance. They no longer respond to her attempts to contact them and she has received no payment at all.

So, graduates and job-seekers, take this advice: when you are asked to travel for an interview with any company, make certain that you fully and effectively communicate your travel arrangements and expense in advance. Don’t agree to pay for these expenses yourself and expect a reimbursement that possibly won’t ever be paid.

I hope this saves you and other job-seekers from experiencing a similar situation.

Disappointment happens, misery is a choice Dare to Live

Disappointment is inevitable, but misery is a choice. Disappointment is a temporary reaction to a setback, whereas misery is a longer term emotional state.

Disappointment is linked to a specific situation, whereas misery becomes a way of life.

Not everything you attempt will work as planned. Although it is disappointing to stumble and fall, when channeled properly, disappointment is transformed into motivation. Motivation is the drive needed to continue moving toward success regardless of setbacks.

Misery results when disappointment becomes a way of life. Feeling sorry for yourself, lamenting the past, blaming other people or circumstances, and making excuses are some causes of misery.

Disappointment turns into misery when you continually make excuses for failure by assigning blame.

A constantly negative outlook leads to misery. Questions and statements such as “Why does this always happen to me?”

“It’s so unfair,” “Nothing I do matters,” and “Nothing I do ever works,” are indicators of a misery generating attitude.

Failure only occurs when you give up.

Therefore, when your efforts don’t produce the desired results, you have not failed as long as you keep moving forward.

A feeling of helplessness feeds misery.

Throwing up your hands in despair claiming “There’s nothing I can do,” causes you to give up. Although disappointment is frustrating, you don’t have to turn it into misery.

by Bryan Golden

Worrying about anything, whether it be the past, present, or future, is a complete waste of time which leads to misery.

The past can’t be changed but it shows you what worked and what didn’t. The present and future are shaped by the actions you start taking now. Idly wishing and hoping for circumstances to improve causes misery.

A positive, can do attitude, combined with proactivity prevents disappointment from turning into misery. When faced with disappointment, determine your next positive step. Being able to answer the question, “Where do I go from here?” gets you back up and ready to move forward. A plan of action is the best misery prevention.

Understanding what went wrong and why, allows you to intelligently chart a course for moving forward. This is the process of self-monitoring. It entails being constantly aware of the cause and effect relationships which impact your results.

Accurate self-monitoring requires unbiased objectivity in order to make the best possible decisions. Misery clouds your ability to accurately analyze what has occurred and why, along with deciding what your next step should be.

Misery is repelled by focusing on a strategy for moving forward. Let go of any

excuses for failure you are holding on to.

Instead, concentrate only on reasons to succeed. The benefits of success far outweigh the consequences of failure.

You can prevent disappointment from turning into misery. This is accomplished by changing your outlook. Simply put, to move past disappointment determine your next step forward. Conversely, feeling sorry for yourself pushes you into misery.

Disappointment can be utilized as a springboard to success. Misery, however, keeps you in an ever deepening hole.

Misery is obsessing about all the things you think you can’t do and all of the things you think don’t or won’t work.

Whenever you stumble or fall, pick yourself up, shake yourself off and keep going. Change strategy, adjust course, and make corrections as needed. Life is fluid.

There are always new things to learn.

Not everything you do will work as expected. Disappointment is a normal occurrence. Use disappointment to boost your perseverance, determination, and drive.

Misery need not be a way of life. Regardless of where you are or what has already happened, you have the ability to move forward on a better path.

Bank a favor factory for politically connected Guest Editorial

By Ryan Alexander

Have you heard of the Export-Import Bank? It’s little-known yet high on the list of special-interest priorities these days.

Created in 1934, this government agency loans money to foreign buyers of American products and gives U.S. exporters loan guarantees. It also provides financing for ventures that supposedly can’t get private backing.

Backers of the bank claim that it supports U.S. jobs. In reality, it’s a favor factory for politically well-connected corporations trolling for handouts.

Indeed, the bank is a poster child for special interest favoritism.

Nearly two-thirds of total assistance Ex-Im provided in 2013 went to just 10 international conglomerates — including General Electric, Caterpillar, and especially Boeing. The aviation company reaped more than 30 percent of the benefits on its own.

And a look at the largest buyers of subsidized exports from the last few years shows a list of highly capitalized and highly profitable foreign companies. They certainly don’t need U.S. taxpayer subsidies to buy American products.

Ex-Im’s financial commitments are backed by the Treasury’s full faith and credit. In the case of default, it’s taxpayers who are on the hook. Currently Ex-Im has more than $140 billion in liabilities.

Unfortunately, the bank has a poor track record, losing more than $5 billion in the 1980s alone — back when billions meant something. Since then, both the Government Accountability Office and the Inspector General have repeatedly criticized the agency for shoddy management,

privatizes profits and socializes risks.

The bank’s authorization is set to expire on June 30, and big exporters are lobbying hard to get Congress to reauthorize it. Instead, lawmakers should give taxpayers some relief — and let this Depression-era dinosaur expire.

bad accounting, and faulty risk analysis.

Now, using realistic accounting measures, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that it could inflict at least $2 billion in losses to taxpayers. Even that’s assuming the next 10 years are free of major shocks to the world economy — especially in the airlines or oil and gas development sectors, where the bank has the most exposure.

There’s practically no gain for taxpayers. Using the bank’s own numbers, which have been roundly criticized, projects Ex-Im backed in 2013 accounted for a mere 2 percent of U.S. exports and even less of export-dependent jobs.

Those modest figures don’t take into account the jobs the bank kills when private capital follows government subsidies to less efficient companies, or when jobs are cut by unsubsidized competitors who lose sales or must pay more to get loans.

Recent estimates put the tab for these hidden downstream costs at nearly $3 billion a year.

Much like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Federal Crop Insurance Program, and the Department of Energy’s Title XVII loan guarantees — which gave us Solyndra and put taxpayers on the hook for a $6 billion faulty nuclear project — the “Bank of Boeing” is a Washington scheme where politically well-connected companies get a sweet deal while taxpayers foot the bill. It

Decline in Christianity takes us one step closer to bowling alone Most Americans bend religion to fit personal or family needs.

In my Catholic family, for example, we have welcomed Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist and Jewish spouses.

Love trumped religion in our family.

This is not unusual, according to the recent Pew Study on religion in America. Thirtynine percent of couples who have married since 2010 are in a religiously mixed marriage. This compares to 19 percent of couples who married before 1960.

Switching religions is also common.

Thirty-four percent of American adults currently have a religious identity different from the one in their childhood.

This latest Pew study of more than 35,000 Americans doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go into detail of why people change religion, but I have a few thoughts.

Lifestyle more, than doctrine, determines the choice for those who have switched. Some religions are more tolerant than others, some more conservative. Some say same-sex marriage, okay; others say not so much. Some say women ministers okay, some say no. Some believe performing good deeds and living an exemplary life can help achieve heaven, others believe you can only reach heaven by being born again and good deeds are irrelevant.

Many parents, as the study suggest, believe it is better to raise children under one religion rather than two. Confusion is eliminated, solidarity enhanced. They believe there is more than one path to eternal life.

Page Two

by John Szozda They also believe religion reinforces the common decency laws of societyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t steal, cheat, lie, kill, screw around or desire your neighbors possessions or his wife.

And, do honor your father and your mother.

It benefits society to reinforce these Christian commandments. Thus, some of the findings of the Pew study sound a cautionary bell for society. Since the first Pew study on religion and public life in 2007, the percentage of Americans who call themselves Christian has dropped from 78.4 percent to 70.6 percent this year. The survey polled more than 35,000 Americans and has a sampling error of 0.6 percentage points. In other words, we may want to pay attention.

The losers?

Catholicism showed the biggest decline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No other religious group in the survey has such a lopsided ratio of losses to gains,â&#x20AC;? a Pew spokesman stated. Nearly 13 percent of American adults are former Catholics.

Mainline Protestant and historically Black Protestant religions also showed declines.

Evangelical Protestant is the only

Christian religion that gained more members than it lost through switching. About 10 percent of U.S. adults identify themselves as evangelicals after being raised in another religion. That more than offsets the eight percent of adults who were raised as evangelicals but left for another religion, or who no longer identify with any religion.

In fact, those who identify themselves without a religion are growing all across the nation. Religious â&#x20AC;&#x153;nonesâ&#x20AC;? have increased from 13 to 19 percent in the South; 16 to 22 percent in the Midwest; 16 to 25 percent in the Northeast and 21 to 28 percent in the West.

This decline is also evident locally. In April, First Presbyterian Church in Clay Center shuttered its doors and the Salvation Army started demolition on the old Second Baptist Church in East Toledo. In 2002, Bethany United Methodist Church in East Toledo merged with Unity United Methodist Church which was a merger of Oakdale and Euclid United Methodist Churches. In 2005, The Catholic Diocese announced the closing of 17 parishes including Holy Rosary in East Toledo. In 2012, St. Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church in downtown Toledo merged with Trinity Episcopal.

These are just a few examples of church closings and mergers since 2000. Another factor is that mega evangelical churches, such as Cedar Creek and Cornerstone, deliver a religious message that has resonated with many members of traditional Protestant churches and siphoned off mem-

bership.

What does this drop in Christianity mean for society?

Robert Putnam, professor of public policy at Harvard, wrote about the decline of social capital in his 2000 book Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community. He concluded that the decline in membership of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clubs, organizations and churches will eventually lead to a disintegration of society. He cited television viewing habits, divorce, the movement of women into the workforce and suburban sprawl as reasons.

He concluded communities with less social capital have lower educational performance and more teen pregnancy, suicide, prenatal mortality and crime.

Local service clubs, such as the Rotary, Kiwanis and East Toledo Club, have all experienced a decline in membership. A decline in volunteers has also been evident at such organizations as the Red Cross and the Salvation Army.

These organizations and churches all add high touch to our high tech world. They supplement the safety net provided by business or government.

This drop in Christianity is one more step in that zombie walk to a future in which we succumb to the lure of electronics and substitute a virtual community for that human touch.

Mercy says our health depends on community’s health

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com

East Toledo forum to host Chief Kral

When you think of health, the first thought is generally the well-being of a human being; however the Mercy healthcare system considers the health of a person contingent on the health of a community.

As a result, Mercy is hosting seminars for residents to improve safety and wellbeing in the neighborhoods surrounding Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center.

Karen Rogalski, project coordinator for Mercy's Cherry Street Legacy Project, was hired by Mercy to teach Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), one of the principles used to teach landlords, police and residents of those neighborhoods how to make neighborhoods safer.

“To teach CPTED, Mercy Hospital actually hosted crime-free multi-family housing seminars because one of the places that we see a lot of crime in is many rental properties in the area. So, how do we begin systematically to address that?” asked Rogalski.

“There are lots of methodologies to begin to address those kinds of issues. Getting the landlords or investors involved, practicing CPTED principles, teaching communities how to do their own safety audit that can be data driven, and then they can understand how much they can really impact their community.”

Rogalski says it’s making a difference.

“Our burglary rate, when we started this, was our highest crime in the area,” Rogalski said. “It’s no surprise — we are in an inner-city neighborhood. However, we’ve been able to reduce that by close to 50 percent, so burglary is clearly no longer the highest crime.”

So, One Voice for East Toledo chairperson Jodi Gross invited Rogalski to share her expertise with residents on this side of town.

At Locke Branch Library Tuesday, about 20 people showed up to hear Rogalski’s presentation.

Toledo Police Chief George Kral will appear at the East Toledo Family Center gymnasium for an open forum this Wednesday at 6 p.m.

One Voice for East Toledo Chairman Jodi Gross wanted East Toledo residents to hear Mercy Healthcare certified safety instructor Karen Rogalski’s presentation about community safety before the forum.

Rogalski and Gross say Kral is familiar with the new community safety principles being offered by Mercy in North Toledo and the chief wants to spread these ideas to other communities.

“I think the important piece, too, is Chief Kral is new to this job, so we always think it’s important to bring him to us so that we have an open forum and the community can ask him questions about what our expectations are,” Gross said. “I think that we are all of the same mindset that we want a safer Toledo and a safer East Toledo. I think bringing him to the table, we’ll have that opportunity to ask questions - he can tell us who he is, what he’s doing and what his plans are.

“Within all these ideas, we want to achieve and tie them all together so there is a way to say to him (Chief Kral) that, ‘We’re investing in creating a livable East “The training was excellent in showing that it takes a community to work on safety,” Gross said. “We need a leader on each block, the eyes and ears of their area.

The residents have the power to change their neighborhood. We now have a tool to audit our neighborhoods. The training gave us an auditing tool that we can conduct in our neighborhoods.

“We are encouraging the attendees to audit their area and the group will focus on East Broadway between Starr and Nevada streets. A City of Toledo T-Town Action Week will take place in this area in August to assist with making change. One of the

Chief Kral Toledo. That’s the important thing. People are leaving because of the crime. Is that true — do we have hot spots? Yes, but what can we do this together?” Gross added. things that is important is cleaning up the blight, removing the problem that invites criminal acts to take place.”

Identify hot spots Bringing Rogalski to Locke Branch Library was part of a campaign by One Voice’s sub-committee on safety to identify hot spots for criminal activity in East Toledo.

“We want to change the perception. It’s not all bad," Gross said.

“Do we have some hot spots that need to be addressed? Yes. So, the biggest thing is engaging everybody in that process. So, if

you live on East Broadway, we want you to be the eyes and ears for your street. So, the safety awareness campaign is going to help us identify those spots and report things if you see it.

What exactly is preventing crime through environmental design, or CPTED? It is designed to enhance safety by altering physical design and encouraging positive social interaction. It’s an alternative to creating a fortress-like community where we have to lock ourselves away.

“We really need all facets — we need the Toledo police, we need the churches, we need the schools, and we need residents,” Gross said. “Residents are important because they are the eyes and ears. If we don’t have them invested in what we are doing, so we are doing this training, and because it’s environmental — you know, cutting the bushes down, clean up the neighborhood, and if there is a house on the street that looks bad, turn it in. Address that. If it has got high grass, report it to the city.”

CPTED includes sitting on your porch and communicating with neighbors, looking out windows, installing gates and seethrough fencing, installing house numbers, adding lighting and replacing lights that are burned out. It includes limiting the number of entrances to your property, using block windows in the basement and on the first floor, locking doors automatically and installing symbolic barriers such as planters, knee walls, and changing the color of your walkway. Residents want to clear lines of sight, minimize concealment and isolation and encourage positive activities in the neighborhood.

CPTED also includes defining property lines with environmentally friendly landscaping. “Show you care and own your property,” says a CPTED brochure.

Other suggestions include hanging a flag, keeping your yard clean, installing signs, removing excuses for wanderers, and participate in neighborhood cleanups.

The idea is to reduce fear and incidence of crime and improvement in the quality of life.

Perhaps nothing tears at the social fabric like envy.

Comparing ourselves to others will invariably make us feel either arrogant and superior or bitter and inferior.

When we compare favorably to others we’re likely to feel superior and therefore risk being arrogant, while comparing unfavorably to others is likely to make us bitter and feel dejected. Life is not a contest, and while it is only normal to want to know how we did on the test relative to other students, or how much we earn relative to our colleagues, invariably we are not going to be at the top of every list, or perhaps even at the top of any list.

eek: Envy is a Bitter Root middle, and that's okay. Envy is not only a root of bitterness at work and in school, but often also within families. Sibling rivalry is natural, and competition can be a good thing, but many families have lasting scars from sibling rivalry that was taken too far, and envious feelings often outlast childhood. So put a check on your envy by avoiding unhealthy comparisons. You’re fine just the way you are. – Christopher Simon. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

A consistent supporter of OSU throughout his career, both on and off the field, Griffin has demonstrated the true meaning of being an Ohio State alumnus...

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Former Ohio State University football standout Archie Griffin will be the keynote speaker on July 24 at 6 p.m. at Ole Zimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wagon Shed in Gibsonburg during the annual dinner for Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Purpose.

The doors will open at 5 p.m. The event will includes a Chinese auction and a grand auction. Only 400 tickets are available for $65, presale only.

The event will include a buffet style dinner, Chinese auction, Prize ball draws, and conclude with a grand auction for our bigger items. All auction items are donated from foundations, businesses, and individuals who are trying to do their part to make life a little bit easier for others.

For tickets, email parkerspurpose@ gmail.com or call 419-334-7275. Visit www.parkerspurpose.net for more details.

Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Purpose provides assistance to children who are ill or disabled, whose family is in an immediate financial crisis.

Parker Ink, who is currently in the 10th grade at St. Joseph Central Catholic High School in Fremont, was diagnosed at the age of 6 months with Congenital Muscular Dystrophy. He is mobile with the use of a power wheelchair, which he has used since he was 2 years old.

In March 2008, he became seriously ill with viral pneumonia. He was taken by medical helicopter to Mercy St. Vincent Hospital in Toledo and spent the next 30 days fighting for his life. He had two sur-

ways had an amazingly optimistic outlook and attitude. Through the years, he has been an honorary ambassador for Easter Seals and has helped raise thousands of dollars for the organization. His struggles have brought hundreds of people together through a variety of fundraisers to help their family who was in an immediate financial crisis. The result was people giving selflessly of themselves to help a family

that was in need.

Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Purpose foundation is based on the desire to assist families who have a child with a life-altering illness or disability, who are in a financial crisis. It is Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope, as well as all those involved in the foundation, for it to grow and spread to help thousands in the future. Since June 2008, the foundation has helped hundreds of families, with donations totaling over $125,000.

Griffin, the only two-time winner of the prestigious Heisman Trophy, is a threetime All American (1973, 1974 and 1975).

In 1976, he was a first-round draft choice of the Cincinnati Bengals and played for seven years.

Griffin, who earned a degree in industrial relations, returned to his alma mater in March 1984. In 1985, he accepted the position of Special Assistant to the Director of Athletics. In July, 1987, he was named Assistant Director of Athletics for External Affairs, and in April, 1994, named Associate Director of Athletics for Sports.

He became president and CEO of the Ohio State Alumni Association on Jan. 1, 2004.

In July, 2010 he became part of the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior leadership team as Senior Vice President for Alumni Relations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A consistent supporter of OSU throughout his career, both on and off the field, Griffin has demonstrated the true meaning of being an Ohio State alumnus by his involvement as a community leader in Columbus and throughout the state,â&#x20AC;? a Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Purpose press release from Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Purpose founder Todd Drusback states.

I love Mom, and she loves me.

But we both know she needs more help than I can provide. She was relieved when I brought it up.

Now we can plan, knowing that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be cared for professionally. We talked it over and decided LanePark made the most sense.

Come on down!

Oregon teen makes the scene on “The Price is Right”

By Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer Twalro@presspublications.com

“

We couldn’t believe it – he was the very first person they called down.

“

Cliff Hangers. Check Out. Switcheroo.

Plinko. Game show fans will likely recognize the games from among the 70-plus pricing games on “The Price is Right” – the long-running game show.

Jamey Burson, of Oregon, knows just about all the games. A diehard fan of the show, the teen sets his alarm in the summer and during school vacations so he can get up and watch (yes, it’s on at 11 a.m. on WTOL but he is, after all, a teenager).

His dream has always been to go to California and see the show live – and maybe even get a chance to make it to Contestant’s Row, to spin the Big Wheel and compete in the fabulous “Showcase Showdown.”

In April, that dream came true.

“Jamey was a senior this year from Toledo Christian School, and because he’s such true fan, we decided it would be a super fun graduation trip to go to California, do some fun things and go see ‘The Price is Right,’ too,” his mom, Cathy said.

The trip was planned for April, including getting tickets for the show. The travelers would include Jamey, his mom and Grandma Martha Hecklinger; and buddies Levi Phillips, who graduated from UT this year, and his mom Karis; and fellow 2015 TCS graduate Will Kujawski and his mom Lynn.

“Though everyone was excited for the trip, seeing ‘The Price is Right’ was something Jamey really wanted to do and we all kind of jumped on his bandwagon,” Cathy said.

“You have to be 18 to be eligible to become a contestant on the show; Jamey turned 18 on April 12 and we left the 15th,” Cathy said.

“We stayed at Manhattan Beach for five days, did the Hollywood tour and all that stuff and on the very last day of our trip, we went to the show,” she said.

In preparation, they had matching

T-shirts made – turquoise featuring the outline of the state of Ohio and the words, “Holy Toledo – We’re on The Price is Right!” “We thought that would make us stand out, in the hopes that we might get picked,” Cathy said.

“As you’re waiting to get in, a producer interviews everybody in line and ask questions designed to get to know you a bit,” she said. “A woman with a clipboard walks behind the interviewer and takes notes.”

During his interview, Jamey told the

producers how much he loved the show and how he watches it every day in the summer.

Inside the studio, the group was seated in the third row. “We’re front and center behind Contestant’s Row, so if people watch the show, they should be able to see all the bright blue shirts,” Cathy said.

“It was really exciting. There was a guy whose job it was to get the crowd excited.

As they began to call the contestants, it got so loud, you couldn’t even hear,” she

said. “We didn’t realize they had even begun calling names until there was a guy on stage holding a cue card that said ‘Jamey Burson.’

“I thought ‘Why is Jamey’s name on a cue card?’ And then in dawned on all of us and I screamed, ‘Oh my gosh…they’re calling your name.’

“We couldn’t believe it – he was the very first person they called down,” Cathy said, adding, “ We were laughing so hard we were crying – it was just so hilarious that he got picked.”

Jamey, his mom said, went “bonkers” and flew down to the front.

Though Cathy wasn’t able to say exactly how Jamey did on the show, she was able to say he won “some stuff.”

“He went crazy – he was hugging on all the models and talking to (host) Drew Carey about the Mud Hens,” she said. (Carey hails from the Cleveland area.)

The episode is scheduled to air Thursday, June 11 at 11 a.m. on Toledo’s Channel 11.

“It was a great experience,” Cathy said.

“We said we’d always do it some day, but we never imagined it would turn out so great.”

Jamey, who was out of town this week training to become a camp counselor for SpringHill Christian Summer Camps, plans to attend the University of Toledo to study psychology in the fall.

Schmeltz cousins are hit on All-Press softball

By J. Patrick Eaken and Mark Griffin sports@presspublications.com

2015 Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Softball

There was never any time when Eastwood junior Alexa Schmeltz thought about giving up while rehabbing a torn ACL more than a year ago.

Schmeltz, a third baseman, is the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Offensive Player of the Year and the Northern Buckeye Conference’s Offensive Player of the Year.

The All-Press award came via voting by 10 area coaches and local media.

Getting there wasn’t easy for Schmeltz.

She tore the ACL in her left knee in a basketball game against Lake in December 2013.

“I was running up the court and just planted and twisted it the wrong way, and it just tore,” Schmeltz said. “It was very painful, just a concentrated pain in my knee.”

Her rehab through Wood County Hospital started in January 2014 and lasted through July.

“They ask you for your goals in rehab, and my goal was to come back even stronger and get better in sports than I’ve ever have been,” Schmeltz said. “I get that from my parents, trying to give my best effort in everything I do, basically. I had a lot of nice physical therapists.”

Schmeltz made the opposition wish she had given up in rehab. She led the NBC and set a school record in batting average (.547) and home runs (7) this season, and set school records with 52 hits and 17 doubles. She also had two triples, seven stolen bases and 42 RBI. “I was really surprised,” Schmeltz said. “I wasn’t expecting to excel. I was just looking for an average season and try to contribute to the team. This season was more than I hoped for. We usually go to a tournament in April and I did really well in that. I thought, ‘wow, I’m competing against these high school players.’ It was in Akron and I thought, ‘hey, I can play with these guys.’ ” Eastwood coach Joe Wyant admitted he didn’t expect to get that kind of production from Schmeltz, who bats left-handed and throws right-handed. She hit third in the lineup.

“She couldn’t play last year, and freshman year she was on jayvee but she dressed varsity when we went to tournaments,” Wyant said. “Last summer I saw her a couple times and she got stronger and her coordination came back. She’s always had a pretty good swing, even as a freshman, but I didn’t expect this. No way.”

Schmeltz said she worked on her hand-eye coordination and bat speed while playing travel ball last summer. Eastwood also hits off a tee and in a batting cage during the high school season.

“I didn’t realize how much power I have,” Schmeltz said. “I don’t think I really realized that until this year.”

Schmeltz was a first-team all-district selection while teammate Mackenzie Albright, a junior shortstop, was a firstteam All-NBC pick and a second-team alldistrict selection. Albright batted .464 with 26 RBI, 14 doubles, four home runs and 10 stolen bases.

Schmeltz and Albright will be the only two returning senior starters next year for Eastwood, which finished 14-12 and 8-6 in the NBC. “I was far from disappointed,” Schmeltz said. “We accomplished a lot of

our goals. We overcame a lot of adversity just coming out as a team, and everyone was really close. I couldn’t have asked for anything else.”

Alexa wasn’t the only Schmeltz to have an outstanding softball season in 2015. Her “third cousin,” Shylee Schmeltz, was a standout shortstop at Gibsonburg as a sophomore, earning the Golden Bears’ Slugger Award and getting votes for Offensive POY. Because of Gibsonburg’s run to regionals and a Toledo Area Athletic Conference title, Shylee’s coach, Marty Brown, was voted the Press Coach of the Year.

The Schmeltz cousins combined for 14 home runs this season — seven apiece.

Alexa said she and Shylee met for the first time on Instagram on Tuesday.

Shylee, a two-year starter, batted .505 and earned first-team All-Press and AllToledo Area Athletic Conference honors and honorable mention all-district honors.

Her seven home runs set a school record.

“Shylee has been an integral part of our team’s success this year,” Brown said.

“Her competitiveness and team support is second to none. While playing every game at shortstop over her first two seasons, she has made some plays that were just incredible. Shylee works hard at her hitting skills, which was proven this year.”

Shylee had 49 hits and scored 52 runs, with 49 RBI and 17 stolen bases. She helped 10th-ranked Gibsonburg finish 25-6 and 14-0 in the TAAC. The Bears lost to thirdranked Bloom-Carroll, 3-0, in the Division III regional semifinals.

Genoa senior pitcher Lea Theisen, who is set to pitch at the collegiate level for Mercyhurst North East, a small liberal arts college in western Pennsylvania, won the All-Press Pitcher of the Year award by getting four more votes than second place Jamie Miller, a Clay senior.

Comets’ run to state a special time for community

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com When a great team embarks on a deep postseason run, the credit is primarily reserved for the players and the coaches, as it should be.

But a great playoff run is also a time for the community to relish the accomplishments of the team. After all, it’s the community that helped to build a strong foundation for the Genoa baseball team, which advanced to the Division III state semifinals for the first time in 16 years and third time in school history.

It’s been two years in the making since Genoa advanced to the regional finals two years ago. In 2013, the Comets won three one-run games in an amazing run before falling to Bloom-Carroll, the eventual state runner-up, 8-1, coming one game short of the state tournament.

Last year, the Comets lost in heartbreaking fashion in the district semifinals.

Genoa blew a late lead before fallling to Archbold, 4-3, in eight innings.

This postseason run has been about redemption.

The Comets won five straight tournament games to get to state, finishing off their regional championship with a 4-0 victory over Huron, the champions of the Sandusky Bay Conference.

The victory over the Tigers came via a no-hitter from hard throwing Jake Wojciechowski, who struck out 13 while pitching the game of his life. His teammates staked him to a 1-0 lead in the first inning before tacking on two runs in the fourth to push the lead to three runs.

Regardless of what happened at the state tournament, Wojciechowski, who rushed for over 2,000 yards this season for the football team, will be remembered for playing his best when his team needed him most.

That victory followed a 5-3 win over Baltimore Liberty Union, one in which ace Luke Rightnowar allowed no earned runs on two hits in seven innings. In the two regional games, finesse pitcher Rightnowar and lights out fastball hurler Wojciechowski combined to allow no

The day before Genoa’s baseball team left for Columbus to play in the state baseball tournament Friday and Saturday, the fans had a show of support send-off and barbeque. Coach Ron Rightnower (top left) thanked his coaches, the school administration, the fans and, of course, the players for a fantastic season. (Press photos by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com) earned runs in 14 innings while striking out 15 as the offense used small ball to score when needed. The other wins came over Lake (5-2), Sherwood Fairview (7-5) and Liberty Center (3-0).

Lee Nissen, who has coached youth baseball in Genoa for a number of years, says the club’s run means everything to the community.

“When you live in a small community and everybody knows everybody and you

have a team make a run in the tournament, it’s all that is talked about. I was at the park tonight talking to people and everybody is so proud and hopes the team does well. I coached about five or six of the players. But I’ve seen them all a whole bunch. This is a great group of kids — great baseball players but even more important, they are great young men.”

While Genoa is known for its football program as much as anything, baseball will

always be important to the town and neighboring villages like Clay Center, Curtice and Martin, all a part of the “Genoa Area” school district.

“Even when I was a youngster in the ’70s playing youth baseball, it was the sport our community seemed to embrace,” Nissen said. “I don’t know if we try to instill that in (the players) as much as we try to make it fun and enjoyable when they are young.”

Casey Gose, who just completed his freshman year playing at Owens Community College, played with many of this year’s seniors, including Rightnowar, Wojciechowski, Cody Pickard, Kyle Edwards, Blake Traver and Nick Wolfe.

“It’s really cool to see (them get to state) because they’re still my buddies,” Gose said. “It’s awesome to see them go that far — it’s really cool to see them make history. I’m really happy for them. I still talk to them all the time. They knew they could get there. They knew they had to put in the hard work and it showed. They’re having the best senior year you could ask for.

“It goes to show that you can get the job done with just kids that live in the community,” Gose continued. “You don’t have to go out and (recruit). It shows that if you do put in the work it will happen. They’re in the state semifinals and they’re in the biggest stage of their careers.”

Gose, who had a stellar freshman season at Owens, leading the club in batting (.354), hits (57) and runs (40) while hitting nine doubles, a triple and driving in 24 runs and maintaining a .436 on-base percentage, says things like this help youngsters gain an appreciation for the sport.

“I remember as a kid growing up, I would always go to the high school games and there would be big crowds,” he said.

“From that, I knew the community was into baseball. That said a lot about the community and how much they cared about it.

(This run) has brought the community together.”

“Coach Rightnowar has been around baseball his whole life,” Gose said. “He knows the game. He’s a really good coach.

If you buy into what he has to say, and it’s showing now, it’s definitely going to pay off. His stuff works, the way he coaches, he knows the right stuff and the right things.”

Winckowski, Hess finish strong

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Grace Winckowski and her senior class officially ended their high school careers at Clay High School on Tuesday.

Winckowski, who finished with a 3.9 GPA, plans to attend the University of Cincinnati next year, graduate with a degree in chemical engineering and move to Los Angeles. First, however, there was this little business of trying to win a state title in the 100- and 300-meter hurdles.

Winckowski was joined at the state meet by junior teammate Haley Hess, who qualified in the 1600.

Both girls have had outstanding seasons, leading coach Scott Wamer’s Eagles to the Three Rivers Athletic Conference championship, the program’s first league title since Clay won the City League in 2004.

This was the third state meet appearance for Winckowski and Hess.

Winckowski placed eighth in the 100 hurdles (15.23) and eighth in the 300 hurdles (45.39) at last year’s meet, after taking 15th in the 100 hurdles prelims as a sophomore.

At the Division I regional at Amherst, Winckowski won the 300 hurdles and broke her own school record in the process, with a time of 43.64. She has lowered her season-best time in each of the past four weeks.

“I’m trying to stay relaxed about the (qualifying) time and not really think about it, and just run a good race,” she said. “It kind of intimidates me, just knowing people are gunning for you and you are the top dog to beat. I never really thought I would make it this far in the 300s, time-wise. Last year my overall best was 45.39 and it’s been going down since last year.”

Winckowski doesn’t hold the school record in the 100 hurdles – that mark still belongs to Kate Achter – but she placed second in the 100s in a personal-best time of 14.79 at the regional meet. She won both hurdles events at the district meet.

“You don’t usually find somebody who is real successful in the 100 and 300 hurdles,” Wamer said. “One is a sprint and another is endurance. Grace brings that combination of both, and that’s really hard to find.”

Winckowski didn’t even start competing in the 300 hurdles until midway through last season and now she is on the cusp of a possible state championship.

Even if she doesn’t win, she’s left a legacy of success on the track at Clay.

“I want people to remember my name, not only as a good leader but someone who could handle pressure and lead a team to victory, whether it was on the track or in school somehow,” she said. “I want the (younger) people to look at my name and realize I didn’t plan on getting this far, but hard work definitely pays off in the end.”

Winckowski, who had the eighth best state-qualifying time in the 100 hurdles, said running the second leg on Clay’s 4x400 relay this year “was huge” in helping her improve in the 300s. Wamer said it’s been more than just that.

“It all started with her training,” he said. “She’s been more focused and taken

that senior leadership role. It starts with the training. Obviously, the results speak for themselves.”

Hess won the regional title in the 1600 (5:05.20) after winning the district in 5:09.57. Hess set two TRAC records when she won the 800 (2:18.83) and 1600 (4:59.96), and she ran a leg on Clay’s winning 4x400 relay and 4x800 relay, which also set a meet record.

“She’s a competitor,” Wamer said.

“She doesn’t like to lose. She anchored the 4x800 and 4x400 relays, and she’s the type of kid you want to have there. She likes to come from behind and just has an awesome kick. Not many distance runners can outkick her in the last 100 meters.”

Hess competed in the 4x800 relay at last year’s state meet, and she finished 12th in the 1600 after placing eighth in Columbus as a freshman.

“I have kind of forgotten about that.

It’s in the past,” Hess said. “I just focused on this year and coming back and trying to have good races this year. I’m going into the state meet with good times.”

Golden Bears grab first league title in 35 long years

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

Gibsonburg hitter Brent Hayward slides into home as his team celebrates his inside-the-park home run. (Photo by Jeff Holcomb)

“

We had four teams from the TAAC in the district semifinals, so we had to beat each other out to try and get to the regionals.

“

Baseball is home to some crazy records, and some of our own local high school teams have historically set the wildest.

For instance, in his history of Ohio high school baseball, Timothy L. Hudak of Sports Heritage Specialty Publications in Cleveland notes, “It is hard to see how Dean Sandwich did not make the all-time batting average list when you read about his remarkable accomplishment.”

Playing for Woodmore in 1983 and 1984, Sandwisch set a national record when he hit safely in 30 consecutive at bats.

Or, how about Clay? Clay is still in the top 10 on the national list of wins, according to Hudak. As of 2009, Clay was 1,142546-1 dating back to 1928.

Just a few years earlier, Cincinnati Elder, with 1,258 victories, was the winningest baseball high school in the nation.

Number four on the national list was the Big Red of Steubenville, with 1,121 wins, followed by No. 5 Clay (1,081 victories), and No. 6 Coldwater and its 1,061 triumphs.

“Throwing even more cold water (no pun intended) on the warm weather theory, the number three and seven schools are both from New Jersey. Only the second ranked school, Tucson (Az.) High School, comes from one of the warm weather areas,” claims Hudak.

The area dots the statewide record book even further. However, Gibsonburg’s season of 2005 still tops them all — still Ohio’s only team to win a state baseball championship with a losing record. They even made a movie about it.

Gibsonburg finished 14-17 after defeating 22-8 Jackson Center in the Division IV state semifinal and then the Golden Bears defeated 26-7 Lancaster Fisher Catholic 6-5 in the final at Columbus’ Cooper Stadium.

So Gibsonburg won a state title in 2005, appeared at the state final four in 1989, but this year won the program’s first league championship since 1980. That’s right — it’s been 35 years since the Golden Bears won a league title — taking the Suburban Lakes League championship the year Ronald Reagan was first elected to the presidency.

This year, the Golden Bears, courtesy of an Ottawa Hills 5-4 make-up win over co-champion Toledo Christian, got its first league championship since 1980, albeit they will have to share the title with the Eagles, which were league champs last year, too.

When Coach Kyle Rase led the Golden Bears to that state title in 2005, he credited the larger schools of the SLL for preparing his team well for the tournament. He knows what it takes, because as a player at Convoy Crestview, his Knights went to state in

1993. Crestview’s program has made three trips to state, while there are still multiple programs that have never made the trip in school history.

Despite Gibsonburg’s years against the larger schools of the SLL being over, Rase warns that the Toledo Area Athletic Conference is no slouch in baseball, and the league proved it this season.

“It is two different leagues, two different make-ups of schools,” said Rase, who

just finished his 12th season (166-125) at the helm. “The NBC (with six former SLL members) is a very strong baseball league.

But we had four teams from the TAAC in the district semifinals, so we had to beat each other out to try and get to the regionals.

“Ottawa Hills was a lot better at the end of the year because they play such a tough non-league schedule. Toledo Christian won the league last year and went to regionals and they repeated this year, so they had a bunch of guys back and they were pretty good.”

Four TAAC teams won sectional championships, defeating teams from two other leagues, so that TAAC members Gibsonburg, Toledo Christian, Danbury, and Ottawa Hills were squaring off in the district for a regional berth. The Golden Bears lost in the semis to the Eagles, 4-3, and Toledo Christian advanced to the regional tournament for the second straight season.

Gibsonburg finished 21-8 overall and 11-3 in the league after starting 6-5. Rase thanks the leadership of his five seniors for turning the season into a productive one.

“We had a deep pitching staff, and hitting wise we had a different person step up in different games,” Rase said.

Senior Jordan Kreglow, who has signed to play basketball next year at Trine University, is a first team All-TAAC shortstop and Derek Angelone is a first team All-TAAC catcher. Both were second team picks as juniors when the Bears finished 23-5, including 8-4 in the TAAC, coming up just short of a league title.

Kreglow was one of five players to bat over .300, finishing at .301 (28 for 93) with 33 runs, 19 RBIs and 16 stolen bases.

Angelone batted .296 (26 for 88) with 18 RBIs and three SB. Outfielder Bryce Ernsthausen is a second team All-TAAC performer after batting .312 (24 for 77) with 18 runs, 13 RBIs and four SB. Getting honorable mention is pitcher Preston Arriaga, who was 5-1 in 35.1 innings, giving up 25 hits, 11 earned runs and striking out 45.

Other pitchers putting up good numbers were Ernsthausen (45 IP, 35 H, 21 R, 16 ER, 59 K, 5-2 W-L, 2.49 ERA) and Ryan Clark (50.1 IP, 59 H, 29 R, 21 ER, 48 K, 6-3, 2.92).

Others hitting over .300 include Madison Jaso (.346 on 18 for 52, 11 R, 15 RBI, 1 SB), Clark (.318 on 28 for 88, 31 R, 21 RBI, 14 SB) and Andrew Dollinger (.318 on 27 for 85, 16 R, 16 RBI, 7 SB).

Breaking records, jumping — that’s what Kiser does

“

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

I’m sad it’s ending, but I just have to look to the future.

“

Jacob Kiser did a lot of good things for Gibsonburg’s track and field team this season.

He set the school record in the 300-meter hurdles (41.46) and has run on various relays. His bread, however, has always been buttered in the high jump.

“He’s one of our faster kids who helps on the relays,” Gibsonburg coach Glenn Owens said of the 6-foot-1 senior, “but he enjoys the high jump more than anything.”

Why is that?

“Because I’m good at it,” Kiser said.

“I’m naturally pretty flexible; I’ve got hops, too. My coach (Shelli Burgoon) specializes in form instead of height, so that’s what we’ve worked on most of the time. She’s been my coach through high school. She taught me basically everything. I couldn’t do anything without her.”

Kiser jumped 6 feet, 2 inches to take second place last Friday at the Division III regional in Tiffin, which sent him to Friday and Saturday’s state meet in Columbus.

“I’d like to make 6-4 and (get on) the podium,” said Kiser, who said he came “pretty close” to jumping 6-3 last week. He said he was thrilled when he realized he had made his first state meet.

“Turns out that hard work does pay off,” said Kiser, the Toledo Area Athletic Conference champion. “I finally completed one my lifelong goals.”

Kiser knew he would have to have one

Seven state qualifiers entered the meet with regional jumps of 6-3 or higher, and five others went at least 6-2. Last year, 6-2 was good enough for seventh place in D-III. Kiser is the first male high-jumper from

Gibsonburg to reach the state meet.

“We’re hoping he can get at least 6-2 and see where that lands him,” Owens said. “If he can go higher, that would be a great way to end his career on. “He’s been fine-tuning over the years; he’s been doing (the high jump) since he’s been out for

track. That’s the main thing he started with.

He’s a really nice, friendly kid who listens really well and works hard.”

Kiser said he plans to attend Hocking Technical College to study natural resource law enforcement next fall.

“I’m sad it’s ending,” he said of his track career, “but I just have to look to the future.”

Kiser was joined at the state meet by four female teammates. Freshman Johanna Ehrenhard, who placed sixth in the 1600 at the regional meet, competed in the 4x400 relay with senior Kendall Reynolds, sophomore Taylor Weickert and senior Colleen Reynolds.

The relay broke the school record last week, with a time of 4:05.86, to finish second. Colleen Reynolds advanced in the 200 and 400 after placing third and second, respectively, at regionals. Kendall Reynolds also advanced in the 400 and in the 100.

Kendall took sixth in the 100 at last year’s state meet, while Colleen placed fourth in the 400. Colleen captured a state title in the 400 as a sophomore and also took fifth that season in the 100.

Eastwood’s track stars leave their own athletic legacy

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com At some point in his life, someone is going to have something negative to say about Eastwood senior Devin Snowden.

Today is not that day. Snowden has a habit of being a good person, a good son, a good teammate, a good friend. Just ask Eagles coach Brian Sabo.

“What impresses me most about him?

First, he has God-given talent and he’s worked extremely hard to enhance them,” Sabo said. “In the process, he’s extremely humble in any success he’s had. He’s very encouraging of his own teammates, regardless of their age or gender, and also his competitors.

“Never in four years have I ever heard him complain or say anything negative. He just shows up, works, gives effort and never makes an excuse.”

Snowden, who competed in his fourth straight state meet, said, “that’s just the kind of person I wanted to be.”

“That’s how I was raised, to treat people how you want to be treated,” Snowden said. “I just did what my mom (Audra South) taught me. I wouldn’t want to be any other way. It’s nice to be friends with everyone and get to know everyone.”

Snowden didn’t come to own seven school individual and relay records by being a nice guy. He said, however, that he wants to be remembered for showing good sportsmanship and helping people.

“I gave everything I competed in to the best of my ability,” said Snowden, an AllNorthern Buckeye Conference running back and free safety in football. “All the sports and everything I did, I’m happy I did those because it’s gotten me to where I am today.”

He qualified for state in the 110-meter hurdles and the long jump, and ran on the 4x100 relay with seniors Grant Geiser, Brennan Seifert and Jared Smith, and on the 4x400 relay with seniors Tim Hoodlebrink and Noah Smith and freshman Isaac Emahiser. The 4x100 relay won a regional championship at Amherst, and the 4x400 placed second.

Sabo said Snowden will be remembered “for how talented he was,” which included anchoring Eastwood’s 4x400 relay to the state title last year and a placing fourth in the long jump. Snowden is a three-time All-Ohioan.

“There’s no one else like him,” Sabo said. “No one else who treated his teammates — guys and girls — and competitors the way he does.”

The same can be said of Hoodlebrink, who competed in the 800 and on the 4x800 relay in Columbus. Hoodlebrink won his second straight regional title in the 800 and has placed third and fourth in that event at the state meet the last two years.

“He’s another guy who is a really good teammate,” Sabo said. “He’s a guy who for years, if we’re on some sort of cool down, he’ll stay and run with the kid who maybe is not as good, just so that kid can have somebody to run with. He gets along with everybody.”

Happy 95th Birthday

Irene Kelly!

Thank You The family of Daniel Sprinski, Jr. would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the many people who helped us through such an unexpected and difficult time:

Love, your family

Thank You

The Harris-Elmore EMS and Elmore Police Department responding officer: We appreciate your compassion in allowing the family to spend time we needed with Dan to say goodbye and your patience in allowing us time to begin to comprehend what had just happened and answering our questions.

Dave & Fran Marsh and Staff: For your professionalism and support in caring for Dan and working with the family to create a remembrance that truly honored who Dan was.

The many close friends of Dan, Amy, Daniel, and Dustyn: You selflessly offered your love and time to help them feel comforted and cared for.

To all who offered kind words to the family in person and online. They will sustain us as we continue to grieve and come to terms with his untimely death.

Our thanks to the doctors and nurses at Genoa Medical Center, St. Charles Hospital, Magruder Hospital, Riverview Rehab and St. Vincent Hospital for their love and care.

Also thank you to family and friends for their memorials and food donations, Genoa Christian Church and Pastor Jeanne Davies for prayers and support.

We love you all!

The Walter Diebert Family
