Parking buses Graham said plans call for the southern part of the parcel, if the zoning request is approved, to be used for parking repaired or new buses “while they are waiting to be delivered to the customers.” Approximately 150-200 vehicles would be parked on the parcel, he added. The northern part of the parcel already is used in that way. Donald Petroff, former Oregon mayor and municipal court judge who lives on South Stadium Road, said he was not in fa-

ODOT engineer says

19-month rehab “had to be done” By J. Patrick Eaken Press News Editor sports@presspublications.com When engineers scoped out the 74-year-old Anthony Wayne Bridge in preparation for its $28 million rehabilitation, they found plenty of decay and support-issues. They also knew there was one other problem — nobody builds bridges like this anymore. After Toledoans passed a $28 million bond issue in 1928, the 3,215 span, nicknamed the “High Level Bridge,” opened in 1931. “It is a very unique and historical structure here in Toledo,” said Ohio Department of Transportation District 2 public information officer Theresa Pollick. “I mean, it’s a landmark. People recognize and associate downtown Toledo with the Anthony Wayne Bridge, so it’s very important that No. 1, we preserve its’ historical integrity, and No. 2, the safety of this bridge for the traveling public and all involved.” The bridge was not only noteworthy because of its engineering, but it also incorporated the largest girder in the world at the time — one that was 154-feet long, 12feet high and weighed 83 tons. The bridge’s main span is 785 feet, its length 3,215 feet and its towers rise some 200 feet above the water. The two main cables consist of 3,534

Oregon Council on Monday will continue a public hearing for a zoning change application on Navarre Avenue. Noel Graham, on behalf of property owner Donna J. Graham, applied for a zoning change to C-2 Commercial from R-1 Low Density Residential at 5464 Navarre Avenue. The hearing was opened at the May 27 council meeting, but was continued to Monday’s meeting due to opposition from some residents living near the property. The Planning Commission on April 15 unanimously recommended approval of the zoning request. Currently, the property has split zoning, according to James Gilmore, commissioner of building and zoning. The northern part of the parcel is zoned C-2, the southern part of the parcel is zoned R-1. There are the same split zoning designations to the west and east. “It currently complies with our 20/25 Master Plan, which deems this area to be commercially zoned,” Gilmore said at the hearing in May. The current use of the property is for the recondition and storage of buses for the Transportation Equipment Sales Corp. (TESCO), a national bus distributor owned by Noel Graham and headquartered in Oregon. TESCO is fronted on Navarre Avenue while the back portion of the parcel faces the relocated Stadium Road. Bud Graham, president of TESCO, said the zoning change will “enhance our ability to conduct business in the city.”

wires compressed and wrapped to a diameter of 13 inches. “This is an older, suspension span bridge that was built back in 1930, ’31 — same as the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fransisco, but we don’t build structures like this anymore,” said Ohio Department of Transportation project engineer Dave Geckle. “When they built this thing back in the 1930s, they basically used small parts that are all riveted together, so we are able to purchase pieces and parts to fix the pieces that we need in standard sizes that we are able to put back in the structure to make it work. “Just in the last four or five six years,

it has deteriorated significantly, so we have to get in there now to do the work, get it fixed back up so it will last a lot longer.” It deteriorated so much that Pollick confirmed that without rehabilitation, the bridge likely would have been closed permanently. “It’s because of the way that this bridge was built in the early 30s, and it has not had a major rehabilitation or a closure in all of that time,” Pollick said. “So, if you look at the timeframe, the lifespan of this bridge, it is so important that we do the work for the safety of this bridge, and ultimately for the historical nature of this bridge. The State of Ohio does realize that it is important to this community, and we do realize that, sure, it is a delay.” Shut the bridge down So, on March 17, 2014, at 7 a.m., the bridge was closed to both vehicles and pedestrian traffic and will remain so for 19 months through September 2015 for its rehabilitation. ODOT awarded the $28.7 million project to the E.S. Wagner Company of Oregon. Work includes re-decking the bridge, replacing the existing truss end spans, rehabilitation of the existing substructures, new street lighting and rebuilding the sidewalks, railings and fence.

Continued from front page vor or opposition of the zoning change. “I’m here to ask you to use your heads on this zoning thing,” said Petroff. “Every zoning change affects the property immediately around it. The property south of South Stadium Road will be affected dramatically. Also, any zoning change affects the entire city because the tone of the city changes a bit.” The property across the street from South Stadium Road will be changed negatively “if you allow zoning to go up to the road,” he said. “I beseech you, in your consideration, to make sure there’s a big buffer. It’s got to be there to protect the other property further east, further west, and property to the south, which is residential,” he said. Kimberly Vaculik, who owns a house on Pickle Road near the parcel, said she is opposed to the zoning change request. Vaculik, who is Planning, Zoning & Economic Development Coordinator for the City of Northwood, said she agreed with Petroff. “I think there’s a way to do zoning that you don’t impact greatly both sides. I do feel the residents were done a disservice. I don’t think we were given an opportunity to voice our concerns on it. If we were notified saying that this is how you want it to go, I think you would have received a lot of opposition. If you do approve the C-2 zoning, please require better screening because it will be a continued use of his business toward South Stadium, which will be more bus parking. If you’ve driven by it recently, it doesn’t look that great. If you lived on South Stadium or Pickle Road,” Vaculik asked council, “would you want to look at that, live right by that commercial development?” Mary Ann Achter, of South Stadium Road, said city officials should look at what is going on with businesses in the area, though she said she wasn’t referring to TESCO. One of the businesses, she said, was sandblasting near the road. “All of that is blowing into the field that is being farmed and it’s blowing into our pond,” she said. This affects me directly. Our neighborhood is one of the nicest in the city. I don’t understand why you would want to change that.”

Vote of six Phil Cervantes, of South Stadium Road, implored council to visit the area before voting. “Please drive down there, take a look at what we’ve been looking at for a long time. We see people sandblasting, we see stacks of pallets just thrown arbitrarily on the ground, we see junk cars and junk trucks, and weeds, sometimes three, four, five feet tall that aren’t even cut. Look at that property before you vote and see the mess that we have been seeing. This is not an industrial park but a residential area,” he said. TESCO takes good care of its property, he added. “The grass is always cut, it’s very neat. But if you put buses all the way up to Stadium, and I am going to go down Stadium Road and see a bus parked right up against the road - I don’t know. But I’m willing to listen. Perhaps they can put a buffer zone somewhere where we wouldn’t have to see it.” Seferian said a vote of six council members is required to alter or add conditions to the Planning Commission’s recommendation. Councilman James Seaman said he supports adding conditions, like a buffer. “There could be really good buffers, which are not highly expensive, that really work well. There’s different kinds of trees that can be planted in the right positions. I think there should be some conditions. I think we can get six council people to agree to them.” Council President Dennis Walendzak said the hearing would be continued to give council a chance to look at the area. Administrator Mike Beazley told The Press last week that he met with council members, zoning officials, and area residents on Wednesday in an effort to look at a possible range of solutions. “We think there are some steps we can take. It’s a work in progress,” he said. “We think there are some ways to move forward with this that deals with some of the concerns of our adjacent residential property owners. We’ll present some of those ideas on Monday night, listen and get some reaction as well.”

Maumee Bay State Park

Preliminary funding for wetland project OK’d A project to restore wetlands at Maumee Bay State Park got a boost last week with the approval of an additional $200,000 in funding. The state controlling board approved the funds to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to proceed with the required permits, project design, species mapping and related studies for the 156acre wetlands complex. State Rep. Chris Redfern, D-Catawba Island, a member of the controlling board, said ODNR’s Division of Parks and Recreation and Division of Wildlife will conduct the preliminary work. “I am pleased to see this funding increase to jump-start the restoration of our wetlands,” he said. “This was an important step in caring for our shoreline, improving water quality, removing invasive species and providing a healthier home for plants and wildlife.” The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency expects to pay for remaining project costs through its Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Program, once the review and approval process has been completed, said Dina Pierce, a spokesperson for the agency. “Funds have not been awarded for this

project yet. It is eligible for $1.037 million in WRRSP funds. We anticipate awarding funds sometime in 2015, assuming all reviews and approvals are completed this year,” she said. According to the appropriation request, the wetlands are located along 4,500 feet of the park’s shoreline. Permeable stone revetment that was constructed to provide erosion control, water circulation and as a passage for fish has become filled with sediment, impounding the wetlands. Consequently, the wetlands are not adequately filtering the lake water and providing habitat for wildlife and native plants. A two-mile boardwalk loops through the wetlands and is a popular place for bird

watchers. The division of parks estimates more than 1 million people annually visit the park. Funding for dredging An agreement between the Ohio EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will allow dredging of the Toledo harbor and shipping channel to proceed while the agencies proceed with finding alternatives to open lake placement of dredge material. The EPA said $10 million in the state capital budget will be used to find beneficial uses for materials dredged from the channel and harbor. Under federal regulations, the corps of engineers is required to use the least costly and environmentally acceptable method of placement. With the agreement, the state will pay the difference in cost between open lake placement and an alternative use, Craig Butler, director of the Ohio EPA, said alternatives could include landfill cover, fill dirt, wetland habitat restoration and agricultural uses He said the 2013 Toledo Harbor Sediment Management and Use Plan has evaluated potential options. A “significant reduction and possibly total elimination” of open lake placement of dredge material from the harbor is possible within five years, Butler added.

Anthony Wayne Bridge Continued from front page

Businesses not panicking For Jamie Ondrus, owner of Ondrus Hardware on Oak Street in East Toledo, one would think he would be panicking because his business is located near the base of the bridge. Not so. “I’m sure we would have heard some complaints by now,” Ondrus said. “If you are on the east side, it is no problem. I draw businesses from down there (across river), but they know what time of day to hit the other two bridges and from talking to E.S. Wagner, this bridge would not have lasted

Deck work and steel repair continues on the bridge. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) too much longer. So, let’s save some lives here and get it done.” Ondrus said ODOT has done a good job of getting the information out to customers, and the heavy traffic being created may even be increasing business. “They’ve been prepped in plenty of time. When they come down Woodville (Road), they have to drive so that actually Oak Street is madness. It’s busier than it has ever been,” Ondrus said. “I’ve (the hardware store) been here 100 years, so I’m sure they figured it out.” Other downtown bridges open during the construction period are the Martin Luther King Bridge, which leads directly

the closure, lane restrictions will be put in place for an additional construction season for painting with a project completion date slated for December 2015, weather permitting. “Essentially, what we’re doing right now is deck work and steel repair,” said Pollick. “We have 19 50-foot breaks that we are looking at making in the pavement, followed by working on the beams in there where there has been rust or decay over time. We’re taking off the concrete deck, doing those steel repairs, and then replacing those 50-foot spans one at a time. We’ve got 19 to do throughout the entire bridge span, so that obviously is going to take all summer. “Towards the winter, we’ll be looking at the demolition of the bridge abutments. What that is doing is essentially taking out that entire section of the bridge, so obviously that will not be driveable as well. Then, we head into next summer for construction on those abutments and finish out the final details on the bridge.” Geckle says the only problem for engineers was that finding exact matching “parts” for the bridge became a challenging issue that took about a half decade to figure out. “We can work with the material that we have now. They don’t make the exact same sizes of materials that they did back in the 30s, but we can work with what we’ve got,” Geckle said. “They’ve been working on a set of plans for four or five years, and did all the engineering to figure out what would work where, and then we’re basically using that set of plans to figure out in the field.”

Interstate-280 span, and the DiSalle Bridge that spans I-75 near downtown. “Ideally, in any construction project, when you have businesses that rely on traffic, it is often a challenge to understand that this construction is necessary,” Pollick said. “But what is the alternative? I mean, you are looking at a possible closure of the bridge, even though right now it is temporary, but in order to maintain our roadways and bridges, unfortunately sometimes it does involve closures and delays. But, we want everyone to know we’re working as hard as we can and as fast as we can to have this bridge open up.”

Ottawa County judge wants to implement Vivitrol program An Ottawa County judge plans to meet with representatives of law enforcement and social service agencies for a brainstorming session on how to use the drug Vivitrol to treat addicts who are in the legal system. Frustrated by the number of criminal defendants who are hooked on drugs when they appear before him, Common Pleas Court Judge Bruce Winters sees a Vivitrol program as one way to try to address a growing addiction problem. He said he intends to convene a meeting later this month to discuss the issue. His goal is to develop a process for administering the drug to those being released from the county jails and secure funding for a sustainable program. “Here in Ottawa County, where the majority of criminal defendants test positive for some illegal substance when they are arraigned, this issue is particularly pressing and is having devastating effects on the community,” he said. Other counties have been using Vivitrol, the judge said, including Hocking County where Municipal Court Judge Fred Moses administers a medication-assisted drug court that uses Vivitrol to treat people addicted to heroin and painkiller pills rather than jailing them. Medications such as Suboxone and Methadone have been used in the treatment of opiate addicts. However, they are

“

An advantage of Vivitrol is that it is injected monthly and blocks brain receptors from feeling the effects of opiates. While it is an advancement in treatment, Judge Winters notes it’s not a magical cure to addiction. To be effective, it must be paired with alcohol and drug counseling. Recipients may also need mental health treatments. The judge said Vivitrol injections can be costly and users must be opioid-free for 7-14 days to avoid serious withdrawal symptoms. Other area agencies have been looking into how best to use Vivitrol. Nancy Cochran, executive director of the Sandusky County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board, said the heroin of today is more potent than the drug of the

1960s and is being used across the socioeconomic spectrum. She said the board has been working with Firelands Counseling and Recovery Services and the pharmaceutical company that makes Vivitrol, which can’t be altered to become a street drug as can other medications such as Suboxone. Citing one clinical study, Judge Winters said those who take Vivitrol tended to stay in treatment longer and reported fewer cravings to use drugs than others receiving a placebo. Data released in April by the Ohio Department of Health shows that the number of heroin overdose deaths increased from 426 in 2011 to 680 in 2012, continuing an upward movement for the fifth year in a row.

The Oregon police division released the results of Operating While Impaired (OVI) checkpoints that were conducted on May 31. The checkpoints were located in the 2800 block of Navarre Avenue from 10 p.m. until 3 a.m. Both east and westbound traffic were checked for impaired drivers. During the detail, a total of 1,699 vehicles were checked by officers with 67 diverted for further inspection. Three drivers were arrested for OVI and refused to submit to a breath test. Five drivers were cited for driving with suspended licenses and two additional drivers were cited for not having a driver’s license. Four drivers were cited for not having their children properly secured in either a safety seat or seat belts. One driver was arrested for outstanding felony drug warrants and one was issued a summons for outstanding warrants. Two vehicles were impounded. In Northwood, Police Chief Thomas Cairl stated that the police department, in conjunction with the Lucas County OVI Taskforce, will conduct an OVI checkpoint later this week at an undisclosed location. The purpose of checkpoints is to help deter motorists from driving while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and try to intercept those that have already made the choice to drive while under the influence. Other agency officers, including those with the Lucas County OVI Taskforce, will be assisting Northwood, with traffic control support from the Ohio Department of Transportation. Police urge the public who intend on consuming alcoholic beverages to plan on having a designated driver or make other arrangements

Call for artists The Toledo Museum of Art is accepting submissions through June 30 for the 95th Toledo Area Artists Exhibition (TAA). The exhibition, which will be on view Nov. 21, 2014–Jan. 3, 2015, continues the museum’s tradition of celebrating and recognizing the best work by artists in this region. It is open to artists within a 150-mile radius of Toledo. While the exhibition has been in existence for nearly a century, the museum has made a number of changes this year. For the first time, artists will be invited to take part in the show based on a digital portfolio of their work. Other changes include a boost in prize awards to $10,000 – the Best of Show award is $5,000; and a change of location within the museum to the spacious Canaday Gallery, where a greater variety of media, including site-specific installations, can be shown. Interested artists may submit a digital portfolio of up to 10 of their best works in any medium. The portfolios will be reviewed by the museum’s Associate Director Amy Gilman and Mellon Fellow Halona Norton-Westbrook, exhibition curator. Artists invited to take part will work with Norton-Westbrook in selecting works to represent them in the show. The deadline to submit portfolios is midnight June 30. Artists selected will be notified in mid-July. For more information, visit toledomuseum.org.

Angel sponsors sought The Wood County Humane Society is launching a new fundraising campaign that will enable the organization to offer a safe haven to even more homeless, neglected, and abused animals of Wood County. Dubbed the Guardian Angel Program, the campaign is seeking sponsorship for the purchase of much-needed cages and kennels for the shelter. With a donation of $500 or more, sponsors will be honored with a personalized, engraved nameplate affixed to one of the purchased cages or kennels, as well as a handcrafted dog or cat Carruth sculpture. Sponsors have various options for the engraved nameplate – indicating their sponsorship of the cage/kennel or honoring or memorializing a friend, relative or pet. The campaign was initiated in part to combat the mass influx of cats and kittens during the spring season. It is being spearheaded by WCHS Board Member Susan Frost, who also is the chair of the organization’s Membership Committee. Individuals interested in participating in the Guardian Angel Program can send their donations of $500 or more directly to the shelter at 801 Van Camp Rd., Bowling Green, OH, 43402.

Zoning changes recommended By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com An application to rezone about three acres in Lake Township to facilitate the construction of an animal clinic is headed to the township zoning commission, which is scheduled to meet next week. Richard Welling, a township trustee, said the commission will hold its regular meeting June 16. The Wood County Planning Commission on June 3 approved a nonbinding recommendation to rezone the acreage from an R-2 residential classification to a B-1 neighborhood business classification. The request was submitted on behalf of the East Suburban Animal Clinic, 5032 Walbridge Rd. A new animal clinic is planned for the parcel, which is located on the southwest corner of Woodville and Pemberville roads. The parcel sits about one-half mile to the east of Owen Road. Welling said after the township zoning commission considers the request it will submit a recommendation to the trustees, who will make the final decision on the application. Fertilizer plant planned The county planning commission is also recommending a zoning change request in Freedom Township be approved. The Countyline Co-Op, E. Front Street, Pemberville, filed an application to rezone about 10.3 acres from the A-1 agricultural classification to M-1 industrial zoning. The cooperative would like to construct a fertilizer manufacturing facility on the parcel that is on the east side of Pemberville Road.

Oak Harbor

Council questions hasty contract renewal By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press Renewal of the Oak Harbor village solicitor’s contract stalled Monday when council questioned the mayor’s hasty attempt to introduce and pass the legislation. Mayor Bill Eberle mentioned the contract renewal for the Kocher & Gillum law agency in Port Clinton in the final moments of the May 19 council meeting. The proposal is for the firm, represented by James Barney of Oak Harbor, to be granted a twoyear contract for the cost of $100 per service hour. Then on Monday’s agenda, to the surprise of council members they say, the contract appeared for its second reading. After Eberle read the legislation, he asked members to waive the third reading, approve the contract and invoke emergency clause since the current contract expired June 7. “This was thrown us at the last meeting. Don’t we get a chance to review it?” Councilman Sue Rahm asked. “I can get you a copy of the contract,” Eberle responded. What council questioned, Councilwoman Donna Wendt-Elliot added, is that the contract was brought up to members at the last meeting but not presented to them as a first reading. In addition, Councilman Jon Fickert pointed out, he had asked for revisions in the contract prior to its review that had not been made. Eberle said those changes were made but Fickert insisted he never saw them. “I just feel like we are rushing through it. We want to make a sound decision,” Councilwoman Jackie Macko added. Rahm agreed. “Lawyers are like doctors – they specialize. This is a serious decision,” she said. “There is nothing to stop you from asking those questions on your own,” the mayor told her. Wendt-Elliot said the mayor had made

a lot of assumptions in this particular case. “There’s a whole new board of beginners,” she said. The turn of events concerned Rahm, who joined council as a new member in January along with Macko. “We seem to get these things shoved at us at the last minute,” she said. The contract renewal date was not unexpected yet everything came down to the final hour. “I’ve seen it a number of times since I’ve been here,” Rahm said. “And I hate to think it’s deliberate … I hope it’s because people get busy.” She turned to Barney at her side and asked a question regarding his contract expertise. Typically, Fickert said, questions regarding hirings and firings are discussed in executive session. The group decided to pause the discussion and retreat to an executive session after the formal meeting. Following that session, council agreed to waive the third reading for the solicitor contract and passed the emergency clause, meaning the contract takes effect immediately rather than the normal 30-day waiting period. Benton Street sewer issue Resident Dennis Schiets returned to council to question whether village officials had looked into his complaints regarding the problems with the private sewer system servicing a section of Benton Street. Schiets

wants a public line installed. Residents rejected a proposal years ago because of the high costs. “We are looking into re-doing the cost estimates,” the mayor told Schiets. Streets program The streets committee and the administrator will present a streets program to council at its June 16 meeting for review. Center Street is especially in need of repaving, Schiets told council. Materion hiring The mayor said in late May he attended a Materion Advisory Board meeting. The company, located in Harris Township just outside of Elmore, is in hiring mode. Unfortunately, he said, they have not been able to find enough candidates to fill a number of positions including non-skilled, skilled and professional. According to Eberle, the company received 1,000 online applications in December. As of May 2, they had hired 40, he said. The mayor noted some of the statistics tied to the hiring process are interesting. That is, he said, 25 percent don’t show up for the interview and another 25 percent didn’t pass the drug tests. “It’s a big concern for them that they can’t draw from the local area,” Eberle said. Parking reviewed on Water Street Council is considering putting “no parking” signs on the section of East Water Street, from Maple to Finke streets. The designation extends parking regulations already in place on a portion of the street and would help eliminate a lot of winter plowing headaches created in previous years, according to village officials. Council doesn’t foresee a hardship for affected residents as all have private driveways. They will review the issue publicly after residents have been notified of the pending change.

Renewal fire levy to be on the ballot By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Lake Township trustees Tuesday took the first step toward putting a levy request for the fire department on the November ballot, approving a resolution to ask the Wood County auditor to certify the township’s current property valuation. A resolution to place a 1-mill, 5-year renewal levy on the ballot will be on the agenda of a future meeting of the trustees. It will then be filed with the county board of elections. If renewed by voters, the levy will continue to generate about $223,860 annually, said Richard Welling, a trustee, and will fund department operations and equipment. “This is not a new tax,” he said. Mark Hummer, township administrator, said the department plans to replace a 1994

fire engine housed at Station 2 in Millbury and has been setting aside tax revenues for the purchase. Township property owners also support the department through two other levies. An 0.8-mill, continuous levy first approved in 1990 is used to pay for the township’s contract with LifeStar for paramedic service. It generates about $122,854 annually. A 2-mill, continuous levy that was approved in 1990 is also used for the fire department. Spraying discussed The trustees also discussed the feasibility of spraying for mosquitoes but took no action. Melanie Bowen, chairman of the board of trustees, said a farmer who lives in the southern part of the township asked her if the township could spray ditches to control mosquitoes.

The township, however, doesn’t currently have an employee with the required certification for spraying and since it would be done at night, would probably require overtime. The costs would strain an already stressed budget, Bowen said. “Luckily it’s been very dry,” she said. “It’s cost prohibitive for us at this time.” Hummer said using a fog system for mosquitoes would only be effective in neighborhood subdivisions. In other business, Bowen reported the township has been notified by the state auditor’s office that it will be conducting a financial audit of the township in July. The trustees, at Bowen’s request, held a moment of silence for those killed in the June 5, 2010 tornado. “We’ll never forget those folks,” she said.

Leave the doubt behind and go for it Dare to Live

“

Cut free from any excuses you have been making.

The only way to reach a goal is to go for it. You can have a detailed vision of what you want to attain. Your plan for achieving your objective may be perfectly crafted. But unless, and until you go for it, nothing will happen. There are numerous roadblocks that prevent you from going for it. Fear of failure is one of the biggest. Aversion to failure is ingrained in you from a very young age. Embarrassment, criticism, ridicule, condemnation, and even punishment have resulted from past failures, making you reluctant to take any action that may result in failure. One way to avoid failure is not to go for it. If no attempt is made then failure is avoided. The flaw with this strategy is it prevents you from attaining your goals. Although you can claim you have not failed, you have not accomplished anything either. Waiting for the right circumstances prevents you from going for it. While it is prudent to act when the situation is appropriate, rarely, if ever, will circumstances be perfect. At some point you need to move forward in order to reach your objective. Doubt prevents you from going for it. You may doubt your abilities, your skills, your knowledge, your education, or your chances for success. Doubt causes you to feel as if you are not ready or capable of achieving your goals. Worry bars you from going for it. You worry about all of the things that can go wrong. You worry about what will happen if there are problems. You worry about

what other people will think. The list of issues you worry about is almost endless. Your negative past experiences stop you from going for it. You project what will happen in the future based on what has already transpired. You ask yourself how something that didn’t work before can work now. Procrastination, for whatever reason, is a roadblock to going for it. Putting off action means nothing will be accomplished. Paralysis by analysis is a type of procrastination disguised as prudence. Thinking and planning before acting is sensible. But unless you move forward through action, there will never be any results. What’s the worst case scenario you’ll

encounter if things don’t work out as planned? In reality, the worst case scenario is not as bad as you think it is. Furthermore, the worst case scenario is typically the exception. So even if things don’t turn out as planned, it won’t be as big a deal as you fear. Failure only occurs when you give up. Avoidance of “potential failure” prevents you from succeeding. Success comes to those who continually go for it in spite of problems, obstacles, adversity, or setbacks. Going for it starts with taking the first step. The size of your first step is not important. Taking it sets you in motion. It breaks through whatever excuse is holding you back. No one has ever attained their dreams because of excuses. Accomplishments are realized by those who go for it. When you make a commitment to go for it, you are willing to do whatever it takes for as long as required in order to reach your destination. Children constantly utilize this approach. They don’t understand the meaning of impossible. Children have relentless tenacity. They switch from one tactic to another until they get what they want. Identify what you really want. Make a commitment to yourself to go for it. Cut free from any excuses you have been making. Get into action. Take at least one step today. Keep your momentum going by taking one step after another. This is the way you reach your goals. Email Bryan at bryan@columnist.com or write him c/o this paper.  2014 Bryan Golden.

Put the brakes on flash trading with tax By Robert Weissman It’s nothing new for Wall Street to work every possible angle so it can squeeze additional profits out of trades. It’s the job of lawmakers and regulators to make sure that Wall Street does not rip off investors or endanger the financial system’s stability. Perhaps you’ve heard about high-frequency trading (HFT), one of the ways traders have been gaming the system. This gimmick is finally getting much-deserved attention from regulators, the public and the media. The next step is getting Congress to pay attention. Newly spotlighted by Michael Lewis’ book, Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt, high-speed computerized trading has made a mockery of the notion of “investing” in the economy. Investors may hold an asset for far less than a second when they engage in high-frequency trading. This dizzyingly fast trading devoid of human intervention sows systemic fragility. A glitch in the lightning-quick computer trades caused the Flash Crash of 2010, when the stock market plunged about 10 percent in a matter of minutes. Although only a few firms engage in high-frequency trading, it is no small-scale activity. About half of all market activity is generated by computers run by high-frequency traders. Lewis and other critics claim that much of high-frequency trading amounts to “front running,” a form of illegal insider trading. The Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading

Guest Editorial Commission are each reportedly investigating claims of unlawful behavior. As regulators work out the legality of this practice, Congress should seek legislative solutions to the problem. The leading long-term solution is a modest Wall Street speculation tax — a very small levy on transactions involving stocks, bonds, and other assets. Proposals to implement a tax of this kind on financial transaction are pending before Congress. One proposal calls for a tax of 0.03 percent of the transaction. That might be enough to eliminate much of the profit of high-frequency traders, who earn fractions of a penny on each trade but see huge profits after such gains are multiplied by billions of trades. A speculation tax commands broad support. Proponents include Nobel Prizewinning economists Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman, and billionaires Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. More than 30 countries already levy taxes like this that raise billions of dollars every year in revenue. Examples include the UK, South Africa, Hong Kong, Switzerland, and India. Ten European nations announced on May 6 an agreement to move forward with a unified tax on financial transactions by January 2016.

There’s a precedent in our own country. In the United States, we taxed stock trades at a 0.04 percent rate from 1914 to 1966. Detractors argue that taxing financial transactions will harm struggling momand-pop investors. Wrong. A Wall Street speculation tax will have only a very modest impact on average people. A recent report from Public Citizen, the organization I lead, noted that the average 401(k) retirement account is $84,500. With average turnover in such a portfolio, a 0.03 percent tax would amount to about $24. Investors with less invested wealth would not even pay that amount. Public Citizen’s report additionally makes an important point about “perspective.” The same investor with an $84,500 portfolio is already paying $1,144 in disclosed and hidden costs charged by investment companies such as mutual funds. In other words, the transaction tax cost would amount to about 1/50th of the fees Wall Street already charges mom and pop. Although the impact of a speculation tax would be modest for those not engaging in billions of high-speed trades, the tax would raise substantial revenue. A 0.03 percent tax (only 30 cents per $1,000) would raise $352 billion over 10 years. A speculation tax is highly progressive, has huge revenue potential and diminishes socially harmful activity. And it has been called many names over the years. Maybe the best one would be “common sense.” Robert Weissman is the president of Public Citizen, www.citizen.org. Distributed via OtherWords.org

What a blast To the editor: I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the staff, specifically Lee, Tim and Michelle, at Stoneco Quarry in Clay Center, for the recent field trip we took. The sixth graders at Genoa Middle School were welcomed with “red carpet” treatment for the three-hour field trip May 28 as part of their rock and mineral study. The staff at the quarry treated us to hands-on activities to show coring and sampling; provided a cook-out style lunch for our 106 students, and gave all students a sack for a mineral hunt. Geologists were on hand to provide expertise in the quarry’s native rocks and minerals and on the mineral hunt, and students were able to take home hundreds of samples of local minerals. The most popular part of the field trip occurred when students were witness to an actual shot, or “blast,” and then were taken by bus down into the quarry to see firsthand what happens to the rock during the mining process. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit this community resource, Sixth Grade Teachers Genoa Middle School

A show of respect To the editor: Recently I attended a hometown Memorial Day Parade. When the flag reached the people who were sitting on the curb, not one person stood. I thought this would be a voluntary move on their part. Apparently not so. Perhaps not being able to recite “The Pledge of Allegiance” in school has had its effect. If this is not the case, then what is the problem? These men walking in the parade have taken out valuable time from their lives to fight for our freedom, but standing in respect for our flag to show our thanks is not a priority for us.

The Klan was a political force in Wood County, says author Page Two

Of these, the Klan was the most popular and powerful. Fifteen percent of all eligible Wood County residents—those who were native-born, white, male, adult and protestant—belonged to the Klan. Dr. Brooks claims membership was that high because the Klan tailored its messages to address local concerns. In the South, it was primarily anti-Negro; in Wood County, it was anti-immigrant. An insurgence of Polish, Irish and Italian immigrants had arrived here to work at the Rossford glass plant and Toledo’s factories. The Wood County Republican warned its readers that “Americans should regard with alarm the fact that nearly one half of the population of the United States is composed of Poles, Russians, Greeks, Italians, Negroes and European Asiatics.” It went on to state that should these “undesirable” im-

...we’re talking two or three generations removed...

“

“Five hundred true Americans” gathered in Pemberville on September 12, 1923 to sign their names to a Ku Klux Klan charter sheet in hopes of “becoming a part of the greatest movement ever attempted to protect the American home and school.” The reporter who wrote those words for The Wood County Republican, was a “Kluxer”. So too were his editors and his publisher, writes Dr. Michael E. Brooks, a Bowling Green State University professor, in his book The Ku Klux Klan in Wood County, Ohio. The book, just published, details Klan’s activities in the county from 1922 to 1941, with the peak years being 192328. During those years, Dr. Brooks said in an interview, “Most of the major elected offices in Wood County--the mayors, the village marshals, the village councils were filled with Klan members, perhaps 60 to 70 percent.” Dr. Brooks outs more than 1,300 members of the Wood County Klavern. If you live in Wood County, you will recognize the surnames of many prominent families from Perrysburg, Bowling Green, Walbridge, Pemberville and Luckey. The names come from actual Klan documents discovered in 1976. A graduate student in the history department at BGSU, Tony DeIuliis, pulled the membership records from a “burn pile” during the liquidation of the estate of a former Klan member. DeIuliis recognized the significance of the find and it is now housed at the university’s Center for Archival Collections. “The Klan, as a secret organization, is pretty reluctant to divulge the names of the members of its group,” Dr. Brooks said. “For it (these records) to survive is sort of miraculous in a way.” Dr. Brooks debated about going public with the names. “It was a decision that could have gone either way. I think enough time has past where we’re talking two to three generations removed, so I don’t think it’s going to be as sensitive an issue as it would have been if some of them would still be alive.” He cautions the reader to make the distinction between the Klan of the 1920s and the stereotypical Klan: “This group that emerged in the 1920s was a different type of Klan than the extremely violent Klan after the Civil War or the Ku Klux Klan groups that popped up during the Civil Rights movement. There was still some violence associated with the 1920s Klan, but it was much more a group that was trying to work within the system, albeit it still promoted white supremacist, anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic beliefs.” The 1920s was a golden age for service clubs. Many men joined the Elks, the Odd

migrants combine their votes “they could gain control of the American government.” The Klan also railed against Jews and Catholics. They feared that Catholics would indoctrinate future generations through their Catholic Schools, so the Klan was a vocal proponent of public education. Nationwide, the Klan boasted of five million members and its strategy was to work within the political system. Men with aspirations for public office pandered to the Klan much like some Republicans do today to the Tea Party. In fact, Klan members Raymond F. Witte, a Pemberville native and Lake Township resident, was elected Wood County Sheriff and Rev. Rush A. Powell of Trinity Untied Brethren Church in Bowling Green was elected to the Ohio Senate, garnering 75 percent of the vote. While men found it personally beneficial to belong to the Klan, they also shared its beliefs. Dr. Brooks said, “You couldn’t have joined the Klan without knowing

where the Klan stood. You’d have to recite the oath and at meetings you’d have speeches and pledges that would reinforce this message of white supremacy, anti-Catholicism and anti- Semitism.” Dr. Brooks writes about cross burnings and the practice of marching in full regalia into Protestant churches, at the request of the minister, to make a donation of cash, a Bible or a flag. “Then, they would hijack the service for a period of time, lead the congregation in a prayer, then turn the service back over to the minister who would urge the members to join,” Dr. Brooks said. The book goes on to detail some of the rallies the Klan held in the county, including one at the Wood County Fairgrounds that attracted a crowd estimated by one reporter at 17,900. “Those gatherings were meant to demonstrate the power of the Klan, to intimidate their opponents, to bask in their glory. Depending on your perspective, it would be very disturbing or awe inspiring.” The book, published by The History Press, is available at Amazon and other e-tailers for $19.99; the e-book version is $9.99.

The

Counseling Corner How to make curfew rules for your teen From the American Counseling Association With summer here, most teens will be pushing to have the freedom to stay out later. That issue can lead to major disagreements, but there are ways to eliminate the conflict and get yourself more sleep at the same time. And all it takes is an alarm clock and a few simple agreed-upon rules. Teens’ desire for more responsibility and freedom is a natural part of the maturing process. Start by allowing your teen the responsibility of deciding a reasonable time to be back home. You can set an outside limit, one based on your teen’s age and proven record of responsibility. Next come the rules. Make it clear that exceptions to curfew times need to be cleared with you first. Special late events, or places requiring extra travel, do occur. In such cases, that extra time request requires details about what’s happening, where it is, who’s involved, who’s driving, a phone number you can call and similar information. You and your teen must also decide on the consequences for returning home after the curfew time. Your teen should realize that the time chosen represents a commitment and is a way of showing an adult level of responsibility. Violating that commitment should carry consequences that mean something. Another rule is that only serious emergencies, ones requiring you to come to the rescue (an auto breakdown, an intoxicated driver), are acceptable curfew-breaking excuses. A call reporting losing track of time or just forgetting isn’t acceptable. If your teenager has set an 11:30 curfew time, an 11:31 return is too late and the consequences should kick in. And that alarm clock? That’s so you can get a decent night’s sleep. Set it to the time your teen said he or she would be home. Then put it outside your bedroom door and go to bed without worrying. When your teen comes home before the curfew time, he or she shuts off the alarm and you just continue sleeping. But if it’s a late return, that alarm goes off. That ends any arguments about what time your teenager “really” returned. It’s a late return and agreed-upon consequences happen. Don’t make a big deal of it, and give your teen another chance, using the same rules, to improve upon his or her curfew performance.

New programs unveiled at outdoor adventure expo By Christopher Selmek Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Toledo’s Metroparks hosted an Outdoor Adventure Expo at Side Cut Metropark, where they unveiled new archery and kayaking programs available this summer. “Attendance at this event has been estimated at 2000 based on industry standards of car counters in the parking lot,” said program production specialist Lauren McCafferty. “Our most popular programs were definitely the archery and the kayaks, which is good because those are the two new programs we set out to promote. We’ve got a lot of good feedback and we’re really excited to turn it into an annual event.” “This actually began as an idea to showcase our new archery and kayaking programs for this summer, but the response from vendors tells us that there is really a demand for an event like this,” said Scott Carpenter, director of public relations. This is the first year the Metroparks have hosted an event focused on outdoor recreation. Bass Pro Shops, a major sponsor of the event, set up a campsite in the Silver Lake Area to advertise camping gear. Information was also available about the Bowling Green State University Outdoors Program, University of Toledo Office of Recreation, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America, the Toledo River Gang and many others. In addition, “try it” stations were available for canoeing, kayaking and archery. None of the equipment is available to rent for individual use at this time, however the

Lake students get lesson on staying “safe in the shade” By Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer twalro@presspublications.com When it comes to being in the know about sun safety, Lake Elementary School students have it “made in the shade.” Just in time for summer, the students got a lesson in how to stay safe in the sun during a recent visit from Cindy Pickett, a registered nurse and co-founder of the Safe in the Shade Foundation. Pickett and friend Eleanor Riffle started the foundation in 2009 with the goal of promoting skin cancer awareness, with an emphasis on prevention and early detection. They were women on a mission – to try to spare others the heartache they went through in 2005 when Cindy’s son (and Eleanor’s son-in-law) Micah was diagnosed with metastatic malignant melanoma at the age of 23. “He underwent chemotherapy for more than a year. No mom ever wants to see her child go through that,” Pickett said. “I didn’t know where to turn, what to do.” Throughout Micah’s treatment, the women relied on each other for comfort and support. Annual Safe in the Shade walk/run events held at Maumee Bay State Park put sun safety in the spotlight and also raised funds for the non-profit foundation, with the goal of supporting skin cancer research and purchasing protective sun shades for local school playgrounds. Pickett, who now lives in North Carolina, recently made the trip back to the area not only to talk to the students about how to be sun-smart, but also to tell them that the foundation would be purchasing and installing a shade covering for the school playground. “We chose Lake as the first school to get a shade from the foundation, not only because Micah and his wife went here, but also because when Micah was going through chemo and other treatments, Eleanor organized a benefit to help with his medical expenses, and the Lake com-

Lake Elementary fourth-grader Grace Jacob and kindergartner Eden Tipton won family memberships to Imagination Station Toledo in a poster contest sponsored by Safe in the Shade Foundation. (Submitted photo) munity came out in overwhelming support for him,” Pickett said. The sun shade, which will cost between $10,000 and $13,000 will be installed this summer. “We’re humbled to be the first school they chose to get the sun shade – especially because it’s being given in honor of alumni,” Lake Elementary Principal Christie McPherson said. “Currently, the playground has absolutely no trees or shade covering whatsoever; we’re going to purchase picnic tables to put under there as well, so it will give the kids a nice place to go to cool off and get a reprieve from the sun.” “On average, our children spend 20 minutes a day, five days a week during the

school year in the sun – which totals about 60 hours during the average school year,” Pickett said. “Most kids don’t wear sunscreen on a daily basis,” she said. “Just a few serious sunburns can increase a child’s risk of skin cancer later in life. “People might be surprised to know there are more than one million skin cancers diagnosed each year in the U.S. – that’s more than cancers of the breast, colon, uterus, ovaries and pancreas combined – and that’s from the American Cancer Society,” Pickett said. In conjunction with Pickett’s visit and in observance of Skin Cancer Awareness Month, the students had the opportunity to participate in a fundraiser to help the

Safe in the Shade Foundation’s sun shade program by contributing $1 or whatever they could afford to be able to wear a hat or sunglasses to school. “The fundraising is not only fun for the students, but also helps them feel involved with helping to get the shade for their school,” McPherson said. The students also participated in a poster contest, which challenged them to come up with their own creative way to spread the word about sun safety. Over two days, Pickett addressed each classroom in the school. She often opened the 10-15 minute presentation by asking how many of them had ever had a sunburn and was not surprised when many raised their hands. Engaging the students with props like and umbrella and floppy hat, she discussed ways to avoid the painful burns and help prevent skin cancer, including wearing sunscreen, protecting eyes with sunglasses; wearing sun-protective clothing and hats and seeking out shade on sunny days. “When using sunscreen, don’t forget your ears, the back of your neck and even the part in your hair,” Pickett told the students. “And remember to reapply every 1-1/2 to two hours.” “This has been the ultimate goal of our foundation – to teach our children sun safety and to provide shade covering,” Pickett said. “Little did I know when we started Safe in the Shade how the passion would grow for me and for Eleanor, too,” she said. She feels blessed that Micah is doing well today. Her mother has also battled melanoma and last December, she lost her husband to the deadly form of skin cancer. “My husband, who was fair skinned, was raised in California and had many bad burns throughout his life,” Pickett said. “He was diagnosed Sept. 11 and died Christmas Day. “After we found out just how serious his condition was, he told me, ‘It’s so important that all children know the importance of being protected from the sun,’” Pickett said. “It just makes it all the more important to me.”

Clay sweeps Three Rivers Conference softball awards By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com There isn’t a single major softball award that the Three Rivers Athletic Conference offered that did not go to a Clay coach or player. Coach Brenda Radabaugh is Coach of the Year for leading the team to a 28-3 season and TRAC championship, senior Brooke Gallaher is Pitcher of the Year, and senior outfielder Honnah Susor is Player of the Year. Clay garnered six of the 13 spots available on the All-TRAC first team. Joining them are junior infielder Jamie Miller, sophomore outfielder Haley Dominique, freshman designated player Bekah Yenrick, and at-large selection Danielle Lorenzen, a senior pitcher. Susor, who will attend Wright State University on a softball scholarship, was Clay’s lead-off batter and considered a “true triple threat” by Radabaugh. She led the team in hits, home runs (7), walks (22), batting average (.600, 57-for-95), slugging percentage (1.084), and runs scored (60). Susor, who was honorable mention All-Ohio as a junior, hit safely in all but one game this season. Plus, she has only committed two errors in the 93 varsity games she played in the last three seasons and has three assists and 22 putouts from center field this season. “Honnah has a great eye at the plate,” Radabaugh said. “She has struck out six times in 121 plate appearances. Honnah is an outstanding outfielder with a very strong arm.” Gallaher, who will attend Lourdes University on a softball scholarship, was second team All-Ohio last year. She is a four-year varsity starter and Clay’s ace pitcher. She had a no-hitter, three one-hitters, and five shutouts this season and holds the school record for wins in a career. “She is a big reason that we have enjoyed success over the past few years,” Radabaugh said. “Brooke has matured as she continues to develop her pitches.” She finished 16-2, had 103 strikeouts to 41 walks and a 1.83 ERA. In the TRAC, she was a perfect 9-0 with an 0.95 ERA. She was lethal at the plate, too, batting .306 with six doubles, a home run, 21 RBIs, and a .306 average. Lorenzen, although an at-large selection, was Clay’s second pitcher chosen to the first team, joining Gallaher. She was 12-1 with 61 strikeouts, 15 walks, and gave up 63 hits in facing 320 batters over 76 innings or a 1.57 ERA. She threw one no-hitter, two one-hitters, and two two-hitters this season. Radabaugh says she would have been the ace for most teams. “Last summer, she injured her throwing shoulder and in the fall her doctor recommended surgery,” Radabaugh said. “Danielle refused because she did not want to miss her senior year. “She has made adjustments to her pitching technique and has played through

(Press photo by Scott Grau) pain this season. She is the ultimate team player. Her voice is the loudest one during every game whether she is playing or not. Her fondest memory is of a game that she did not even play in. She will be truly missed.” Miller, who was the clean-up hitter the past two seasons, batted .424, was second on the team with 13 doubles, three home runs and 40 RBIs. She also led the team in sacrifice flies. “She seems to be unfazed by the pressure on the clean-up hitter and continues to hit the ball extremely hard,” Radabaugh said. “Jamie is a very coachable player with a bright future in softball.” On the field, Miller has only two errors in 153 attempts, and both were throwing errors. In addition, she filled the role of relief pitcher twice this year. Dominique, who has verbally committed to play NCAA Division I softball at Ball State University, was the No. 2 hitter in the lineup, leading the team in singles and RBIs (52). She had a .725 slugging percentage and struck out seven times in 126 plate appearances. She had six doubles, five triples, four home runs, and 33 stolen bases. “Haley is a very aggressive player who makes diving catches look easy,” Radabaugh said. “She would be the starting center fielder on most teams, but is playing with another outstanding outfielder.” Yenrick, in her first season, hit a school-record 17 doubles and had three home runs and 45 RBIs. When she is in the field, she plays first base or in the outfield,

otherwise, she is the designated player because of her bat. “Bekah continues to amaze me with her bat,” Radabaugh said. “She hit the longest ball that I have ever seen leave our ball park. She has a .554 batting average, which is incredible for anyone, especially a freshman. “Bekah is a very good first baseman and a solid outfielder. We are excited to have her around for three more years.”

Schiavone batted .412 with 11 doubles, one triple, two home runs, and 31 RBIs, and her infield play wasn’t too shabby, either. “Hayley is an outstanding third baseman,” Radabaugh said. “She is fearless with a strong arm and this is a good combination for a third baseman. She has made some diving plays that amaze those who are watching. Bocook, a junior, started in right field but also was the back-up catcher. She was the No. 3 batter in the lineup, who batted .465 with 12 doubles, one triple, one home run, nine stolen bases and 29 RBIs.

Escobedo, Tiffin-bound Mendoza lead Bears to title By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

“

It was a stress reliever, in a way. Now, I’m officially going somewhere.

“

Gibsonburg senior Filomena Mendoza didn’t bat nearly .500 for the second straight season, and she didn’t repeat as the Toledo Area Athletic Conference Player of the Year. But a teammate, senior Alyssa Escobedo, did, and that is alright with Mendoza. Mendoza did, however, make first team All-TAAC again and she helped lead the Golden Bears to their second straight unbeaten record (12-0) in the conference en route to the TAAC championship. The left fielder capped off her season, and prep career, last Thursday when she signed a letter of intent to play softball at Tiffin University in the fall. “This year was my most memorable year in high school,” Mendoza said. “I played ball with some great girls, the atmosphere was awesome and it was my senior year and I tried to make the best of it. It hit me the other day that it was over. “I’m looking forward to starting my classes at NCAA Division II Tiffin. Tomorrow (June 2) I start my workouts for softball and I’m ready to get on with things and work for better things.” Mendoza, who said she visited Tiffin “a while ago,” plans to study criminal justice in college. “I first (chose) Tiffin for my career choice, criminal justice,” she said. “They have a really good criminal justice program. The coaches seemed really nice, and it looks like a really good program.” The Dragons, coached by Jeff Nickerson, finished 23-22 and 10-16 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference this season. “Filomena is a quiet leader and will be an asset to that ballclub because of her strong work ethic,” said first-year Gibsonburg head coach Marty Brown, an assistant with the Golden Bears the previ-

“We had pretty simple goals starting the season,” Brown said. “That is, to enjoy the season and try to get a few wins in. Winning the TAAC again was a great

accomplishment, especially for the five starting seniors – Filomena Mendoza, Elena Mancha, Marisa Alvarado, Samantha Hanigan and Alyssa Escobedo.” Mendoza, Mancha and Escobedo all earned first team All-TAAC honors. Escobedo, a center fielder, was named the TAAC Player of the Year and Brown is Coach of the Year. Escobedo was 11-5 in the circle, striking out 87 and allowing 95 hits and 20 earned runs in 102 innings for a 1.37 ERA. Escobedo also batted .427 (35 for 82) with 28 runs, two homers, 31 RBIs, and 10 stolen bases. Mendoza batted .394 with a .468 onbase percentage and a .682 slugging percentage, with 24 runs and 29 RBI. She did not commit an error in left field, but she missed three games with a mid-season knee injury. “We were conditioning and I hit my knee on the jump box and fell,” said Mendoza, who batted 86 points lower than last season, when she set a school record with 48 RBI. “We saw a little bit better pitching,” she said. “I wasn’t really on my game. The knee injury didn’t have a lot to do with it. Maybe if I was in those games and gotten some more hits, I would have hit for a higher average. I think I could have done a lot better. I had higher expectations for myself.” Mendoza said going 12-0 in the TAAC for the second straight year was “awesome.” “It was a great goal to accomplish, to go undefeated in the TAAC this year,” she said. “I love my teammates and they mean a lot to me. That’s what our goal was, and we accomplished it.” She added that signing her letter of intent with Tiffin was a load off her mind. “It was a nice experience,” Mendoza said. “It was a stress reliever, in a way. Now, I’m officially going somewhere.” Mendoza, an honor roll student, also ran cross country for four years at Gibsonburg and was on the bowling team for two years.

Eastwood High sends 14 athletes to state track meet By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Eastwood boys’ track and field team is Northern Buckeye Conference champions, Division II district champions and now you can add regional champions. By the time you’re reading this, there may be more, because 14 Eastwood athletes qualified for the boys and girls state track meet, including many who participated in more than one event at state. It’s been another banner year for the Eastwood boys’ team, which won the Division II regional meet. Every single individual on the boys’ team who participated in regionals moved on to state. Eastwood finished the regional scoring 61 points, well ahead of second place Caledonia River Valley, which had 44 points. That was more than enough for the Eagles’ second consecutive regional title. Juniors Devin Snowden and Tim Hoodlebrink led the way, ending the meet with a combined four first-, two secondand a third-place finishes. Snowden and Hoodlebrink were part of the 4x400-meter relay team (3:18.01, Hoodlebrink, Snowden, Brennan Seifert, Joe Salinas) that finished first, and Snowden was also second in the

4x100 (42.82) with Grant Geiser, Brennan Seifert and Jake Hoodlebrink. Snowden came in second in the 300 hurdles (38.12) and was third in the long jump (21 feet, 3.75 inches). Tim Hoodlebrink, meanwhile, was part of the 4x800 team (including Gabe Fredericks, Logan Baugher, Noah Smith) that was first (7:52.65) and he also won the 800 (1:55.11). There could have been even more qualifying for state. Salinas and Seifert nearly qualified individually, finishing fifth in the 100 hurdles and the 200, respectively. Fortunately, they will be going as part of the relay teams. “I thought we performed extremely well,” said coach Brian Sabo. “We thought that if we gave a great effort, let the competition pull us along, and if we focused on just us, we’re going to have a good day. Going into Saturday, we only had five guys qualified for state. I told the guys, ‘Let’s give a great effort. I want one more week just being around you guys, so let’s do our job and get as many guys down (to Columbus). Thankfully, everybody that went to regionals is going to state.” Snowden was more than pleased with his performance. “It felt good just to know that I qualified in all four events,” Snowden said,

Lunch•Dinner•Drinks

“and that I can help my team out at the state meet by placing in all four events. I just went out and did what I do and that’s gotten me to where I am. It feels great just to know that the coaches got me to where I am and they knew what to do for me and it played out nicely.” Eastwood is no stranger to postseason success. The Eagle boys finished 13th at the D-II state meet last year and won backto-back state titles in 2008 and 2009. “It is my favorite time of the year,” Sabo said. “The only part I don’t like is that we lose a lot of our teammates. There’s a little bit of that team aspect that leaves. It is fun because of the competition, but it’s only for those that are still surviving. “It is enjoyable to watch our kids rise and see the effort they put in all year long pay off. When the effort meets the training, the coaching, the competition, it’s great to see them reach their potential. To see some of the times they’re running and to have a personal best and to break school records, it’s very rewarding for them and the coaching staff. It’s such a family environment with the staff and the kids. When they’re performing, it’s a lot of fun.” Snowden and Hoodlebrink’s season are complete with a list of accolades, including finishing first in seven combined

events at the Northern Buckeye Conference meet three weeks ago. Snowden won the long jump, the 300 hurdles, was part of the 4x100 relay team and joined Hoodlebrink on the 4x400 relay team. Hoodlebrink was also first in the 800 and was part of the 4x800 relay team that came in first. The boys and girls teams both won their 14th consecutive league titles at the NBC meet, an example of the work Sabo, his wife, Nikki, the assistant coaches and former coach Gary White have done in building a strong foundation. The techniques and work ethic they’ve instilled has stood the test of time. “(The coaches) tell us when you get tired to keep your form and don’t lean over and it will get you to where you need to be,” Snowden said. “You have to keep your arms pumping and keep your hips underneath you.” Being part of a program with multiple talented athletes has helped put Snowden’s mind at ease because he knows his teammates are also capable of picking up the slack when necessary. “It takes a lot of pressure off because if you have a bad day, there are other people on the team that can make up for it,” Snowden said. “In the workouts, we push each other.”

Former Rocket takes over Genoa girls’ soccer team By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Erica Lipstraw has never been a head coach before — she hasn’t even held her first official practice — but she’s already starting to sound like one. “My coaching staff and I are excited about the season, and the girls are pumped as well,� Lipstraw said. “We’re looking forward to it and see what happens. We have the athletes and the knowledge, we just have to put it all together.� Lipstraw, a former soccer and track standout at Oak Harbor, was hired to replace Mike Harder as the head soccer coach at Genoa. The Comets went 6-8 and 2-6 in the Northern Buckeye Conference last season. Lipstraw, 24, who set school records for most goals in a season and most hat tricks in a season before graduating from Oak Harbor in 2008, earned a track scholarship to the University of Toledo.

“I ran track my first year and then I decided I missed soccer so much that I wanted to walk on (at UT),� she said. “I tried out the spring of my sophomore year and I made the team and played with them all spring. I got into my junior year and decided (student) teaching was taking up way too much of my time. I was a student teacher at Perrysburg Junior High and I had some other (teaching) experiences when I was at UT. “I missed soccer so much, that was my favorite sport to play. I wanted to go back to it and see what I could do. That spring season I scored three goals. That was a nice accomplishment, to walk on and have that. The (UT) girls were all welcoming, and it was a great experience.� Lipstraw graduated from UT in December with a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education. She will teach physical education and health at Genoa Middle School. Erica’s younger sister, Sara, who also starred on the soccer field for Oak Harbor, will be Erica’s assistant coach at Genoa.

Sara recently graduated from Mount Vernon Nazarene University near Columbus, where she played soccer all four years. Sara graduated from Oak Harbor in 2010. “We’ve played well together,� Erica said. “We’re very competitive against one another, but at the same time we get along on and off the field. She’s a good person to have, to check me back into reality.� Ironically Lipstraw, who played forward, said some of the most intense matches in high school were against Genoa. “When we played Genoa we had to be on our ‘A’ game,� she said. “My senior year, that was my last game on their football field and we lost to them. I remember playing so hard. I never came out of the game and was on sidelines and my legs cramped up. I was sitting there crying on the football field. I never thought I’d be back at Genoa.� Lipstraw said it felt “surreal� to not only be able to land a teaching position right out of college, but to also get a chance to run her own soccer program. “It’s a dream I’ve had for a while,� she said. “I’ve wanted to be a coach my whole

life. I had a great experience growing up and I always wanted to give back. My parents (Gary and Crystal) told me to always give back what you’ve been given. We’ve had great coaching experiences growing up. I’m very blessed to have the opportunity and show what I can do.� The Comets’ first game of the 2014 season is Aug. 19 at home against Central Catholic. Lipstraw is taking baby steps getting things started, beginning with conditioning and making her pitch to get as many girls to come out for soccer as she can get. Genoa has never fielded a junior varsity squad. “Eventually I’d like to have enough girls to get a jayvee team,� Lipstraw said. “We’re lucky to have a varsity. Some schools in (the NBC) don’t even have a team. We have good freshmen coming up, so I’m excited about that. It’s about them getting to know my coaching style and me getting to know their playing style as well, where they’re going to fit best on this team.� Lipstraw will hold a Genoa Lady Comet Soccer Camp on June 21, from 8-11:30 a.m.

Our good health, having friends and family who care about us, and even something as mundane as going to work, are truly things for which we ought to be grateful. We should spend some time each day counting our blessings. We might be pleasantly surprised to find that this exercise itself will make our lives better. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. N.I.V. 1 Chronicles 16:34

But perhaps more important than the warm feeling that we get when someone expresses their gratitude to us, is the positive outlook that gratitude usually engenders in the person who is grateful. That is, the feeling of being grateful helps to keep us focused on the positive. Instead of harping on how bad things are, or regretting the past, gratitude looks for the positive aspect and the silver lining. And although we all may occasionally feel sorry for ourselves, we can alleviate some of these feelings by

419-680-3691 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 consider this...

1: 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. 2: You can frequently change the size and copy of your ad in The Press to advertise seasonal offers, special prices, new products & new services. 3: Each lively issue of The Press is full of news, information and features from 20 towns and their 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.
