Utility debts come under fire Adam Snyder is the first to tell you he is a self-made businessman. “I started this from the ground up on my own,” he says in the hallway of Oak Harbor village hall about his rental business during a recent spring evening. “Nobody helped me.” He refers to his climb to buy rental properties, accumulating close to 100 over the years in and around the village. He keeps a watchful eye on expenses and questions those that don’t add up. For more than three months at village council meetings he’s protested a 2005 utility bill connected to a property he bought this year on Ottawa Street. He insists the $469 electric bill is not his responsibility since the village shirked at least three previous chances to collect the cash from the debtors. But the village still says no payment, no electrical meter. One of his former renters, Kyle Hollis, doesn’t see it so clearly. The registered nurse thinks Snyder has to swallow the “cost of doing business” the same way he deals with his renters. Her experience with Snyder years ago went without a hitch. But she maintains her daughter’s recent experience with

“

He’s a slumlord. You get what you pay for.

“

Snyder wasn’t so amicable. She claims her daughter cleaned rugs, left her property in presentable condition and he still kept her deposit for unjustified reasons. In addition, she says his intimidating persona, hot-headed manner, continual conflicts with village utility officials and unreasonable ways have left other tenants and neighbors scratching their heads at his odd behavior. But it comes down to one thing for Hollis: “He’s a slumlord. You get what you pay for. He’s not a fair landlord… He needs to take all that money he has kept from people’s deposits and pay that bill.” Snyder realizes as a landlord he’s going to take flak. He wouldn’t discuss Hollis’ daughter’s case specifically but said he knows there are going to be disputes. Yet, he will not let go of a pending

utility dispute with the village because, he said, he is not only fighting for himself but for other property owners who are getting a bad rap from poorly designed utility regulations. A 1950s ordinance ties payment of uncollected utility bills to the property owner not the user, Mayor Bill Eberle has reminded others repeatedly. Changes made by village council three years ago tightened procedures for collections from users – but not before nearly $80,000 in debt mounted for utility bills racked up dating back to 2001. At council’s late May meeting, Snyder defended the owner of a new business who recently had to pay someone else’s old bill in order to get an electrical meter for service. “Yea, she paid. She didn’t want to,” Snyder insisted. His stubbornness on the issue boils down to principle, he said. He bought a three-unit house this year but can’t get electrical service because of the $469 bill dating back to 2005. The former owner long held the property before foreclosure set in and other tenants actually occupied the building and used village services in the last few years, Village Administrator Randy Genzman acknowledged. Nine years was plenty of time for the village to collect on its old bill before going

P.J. Kapfhammer blasted officials from the teachers’ union a day after he resigned from the Oregon school board last week. Kapfhammer, who was president of the board, announced his resignation at a meeting last Tuesday. On Wednesday, he told The Press that union officials from the Oregon City Federation of Teachers, which is in negotiations with the board to renew its contract, is the reason he stepped down. “The union leadership goes into the classrooms, they tell lies. They tell the kids that the board is firing their teachers, which are lies. There is no truth to this. We have to follow the rules. There’s protocol. I can’t combat the lies because as a school board member, I am restricted in what I can do,” said Kapfhammer. Relations between Kapfhammer and the union have soured in the last several months. Last year, he alleged that a union official circulated false comments about him throughout the district. “The union copied some stuff off my Facebook page and made some comments about me and then circulated it throughout the schools. It was sent to a classroom that my daughter was in,” he said. At a meeting last month, the board ordered Dave Shafer, president of the union, to vacate his office at the Wynn Center, which is owned by the school district. Kapfhammer said at the time he didn’t think the union should be “serving us with legal papers from our own address.” He was referring to a lawsuit the union had filed against the board in April. It alleges a breach of the collective bargaining agreement to arbitrate a grievance by the union’s committee chairperson, who was reprimanded by the board for allegedly misusing the district’s inner-school email system for union business. Kapfhammer alleges his truck was keyed by someone after the meeting. Relations were further strained after the board entered negotiations to renew the teachers’ contract last month. Kapfhammer said he would aggressively oppose raises, Continued on page 4

Oak Harbor land sale hits a glitch Oak Harbor’s renewed attempt to sell a piece of land near Port Clinton has hit a glitch. The village bought the parcel, just over eight acres on West Lakeshore Drive along the shoreline of Lake Erie, west of Port Clinton, in 1938. The land was tagged for water system facilities when Oak Harbor had a partnership with Port Clinton, long before the village joined the Ottawa County Regional Water System. Today, the land which also contains a patch of wetlands, sits idle as others have developed the surrounding properties. And that, it seems, is part of the problem. Earlier this year, several members of village council brought up the unused piece of land and what efforts were being done to sell it. Crews installed new “For Sale” signs last fall to replace those that had fallen into disrepair. Councilman Jon Fickert mentioned the land’s unsightly appearance. Weeds were rampant and the lawn needed mowing, he said. The condition was just not becoming to potential buyers, he said. Village Administrator Randy Genzman responded later by taking care of the lawn maintenance and having the land surveyed in anticipation of a future purchase. Surveyors revealed neighbors have encroached on both sides of the property, Genzman informed council during a spring meeting. Spinnaker Bay, a condominium unit, has moved in about seven feet on the east side. Sunset Shores Campground, which runs along the western border of the property, has a number of trailers situated on the village land. That encroachment runs a little deeper. “If you go down that first row more than half of each trailer is on village land,” Genzman said. Council wanted to know how long the trailers had been there and if there was a possibility that the campground owners would consider buying the land being used by their customers. Genzman said he did not know. He said he was told someone from the camp-

ground had spoken to surveyors when they were on site. But Genzman had not talked to anyone from the campground at that time or in ensuing weeks when questioned about the situation by a reporter from The Press. When contacted last week by The Press, a woman who answered the phone at Sunset Shores identified herself as an owner but would not give her name. She added she and her husband did not want to comment on the issue. “I don’t know why the village didn’t call us about it instead of having the newspaper call,” the woman said. Ottawa County auditor’s records show that Sunset Shores is owned by Robert and Paula Faulds and the campground spans 5.7 acres along the shoreline. Oak Harbor has not set an asking price for its land. “It’s negotiable,” Genzman said. Village leaders say there is about 8.5 acres of available land, but only about 3 acres is usable because of the wetlands. Fifteen years ago, the village made a concerted effort to get rid of the land. A wetland evaluation study was part of the process. Bob Vogel, a real estate agent who regularly attends meetings, said he listed the land but had difficulty pitching it – specifically because of the wetlands. He said the issue remains a pivotal selling point today. “The conservation people called, called us to take down the signs,” he recalled. “There’s no way it can be used. You can mow. You can’t remove the water.”

Harbor View Historical Society to expand By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Oregon Planning Commission recently approved a Conditional Use Permit for the Harbor View Historical Society after the organization acquired more property. The commission had granted a Conditional Use Permit in an R-2 Medium Density Residential District to the historical society at 2083 Autokee Street in 2010 for the operation of a museum with the stipulation that it be reviewed after three years of operation, according to Jim Gilmore, commissioner of building and zoning. Michael Joseph and the late Gary Cashin, agents for Harbor View Missionary Baptist Church, had applied for the Conditional Use Permit. The historical society converted the church into the museum and opened in 2012. Gilmore said there have been no complaints about the museum from surrounding property owners and that the organiza-

tion has made significant improvements to the property. He said the group had acquired two more properties adjacent to the museum from the Lucas County Land Bank. The historical society razed a deteriorated house previously located on one of the parcels. It plans to expand operations to include the properties. The Project Review Committee had no objections to the Conditional Use Permit, though it recommended the organization submit a site plan for review before there is any more development. The museum is currently open to the public on Wednesdays from 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. It provides homework assistance to students on Wednesdays from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Admission is free to the public due to support and assistance from the U.S. Navy and private donors. Rick Orovitz, a member of the Planning Commission, said neighbors he had spoken to had positive comments about the museum.

On May 31, the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a scam involving a male subject calling people in Port Clinton saying he was the sheriff. According to the report, the subject said there was an active warrant out for the victim’s arrest for failing to report for jury duty, which could be taken care of if the victim sent money through PayPal. According to Detective J. P. Barton, at no point in time would any police handle a warrant in this manner. Detective Barton urges anyone receiving a phone call of this type to call local police authorities.

Common People, Uncommon Challenges

Mayor Mike Seferian, a member of the Planning Commission, told The Press last week that the property is well maintained. “They have cleaned up that area,” said Seferian. “It’s a neat little place, with a small budget with military contributions and other donations. It’s a shoestring operation. But it’s certainly a real asset to that neighborhood.” Seferian said he also spoke to some of the neighbors near the museum. “They said the historical society had done a real nice job cleaning up the property. It had been a real eyesore. It motivated others in the area to clean up their properties, too,” said Seferian. The organization’s goal is to preserve the history of Oregon, the Village of Harbor View, and the area once known as the Northwest Territories of the U.S. The museum highlights shipping activities at the mouth of the Maumee River, as well as showcases the five villages that existed before Oregon became a city, including Immergrun, Momeneetown, South Shore Park, Ironville, and Harbor View.

State Rep. Tim Brown last week applauded the passage of House Bill 449 by the Ohio House. The legislation, which Rep. Brown co-sponsored, gives veterans greater access to higher education by prohibiting state institutions of higher learning from applying residency-related restrictions to the admission application of a qualified veteran or the veteran’s spouse or dependent. The current law states that a veteran or a veteran’s spouse shall be considered in-state for the purposes of tuition if certain conditions are met. Under HB 449, any limit an institution may have on accepting out-of-state applicants could not apply to a veteran, or the veteran’s spouse or dependent. That applicant would receive the same consideration the state institution of higher education would give to an instate applicant. “Many veterans have plans to continue their education after their service to our country. This legislation rightfully makes it easier for Ohio’s veterans to pursue that goal,” Rep. Brown said. The bill states the veteran must fit one of these requirements for the veteran, spouse or dependent to qualify: • The veteran must have served one or more years of active duty military duty and be honorable discharged or received a service-related medical discharge. • The veteran must have been killed while serving on active duty or had been declared to be missing in action or a prisoner of war. H.B. 449 will now go to the Ohio Senate for consideration.

Utility debts Continued from front page after him, Snyder contends. The village, he said, failed because it didn’t confront the former owner, didn’t file a lien for unpaid bills and allowed others to use the services on the same property while the outstanding bill remained. Snyder said he did a title search before the purchase but the bill did not show up because no lien existed. Council members have received some complaints from other residents who have paid through the years. The circumstances of whether those bills were disclosed at sale were not known. Council members say they worry about other rebates should they dismiss Snyder’s bill. Still, council members concede their collection regulations are antiquated and need to be addressed. And, Councilman Jim Seaman admitted during one of the lengthy debates, “Adam is getting a bad rap. We should have taken care of this years ago with three other people.” Snyder has also disputed other bills connected to his properties and took the village to court. The village won. As a result, he paid several thousand in back bills for properties dating back to 2012 and all of his renters are currently paid up. If they fall behind, he gets a notice and makes sure they address the bill immediately, he has told council several times. The situation has pushed village council to review its outstanding utility bills. The village utility department provided Genzman an outline of the debts of nearly $77,000 for old sewer and electrical bills, which Genzman gave to council. On June 2, council considered forgiving some $5,500 debts tied to bankruptcies, deaths and bills under $50. The other $71,000 would be written off the books for the purpose of streamlining village software. Genzman noted that meant the village would still go after the people who accumulated that debt should they return to the village or the village hired a firm to track them down. The administrator also pointed out that path could technically go against the ordinance since the village would hold the user responsible instead of the property owner. But Councilman Jon Fickert said he didn’t see how the write-offs helped anything except for “cleaning up” the tax administrator’s computer software. Hiring a firm to go after the debtors would cost money and what was the prospective return – maybe 10 percent after years of trying, he asked. “I would be surprised if you would get 2 percent.” Councilwoman Jackie Macko said she still didn’t understand how the debt had gotten so out of hand. Snyder answered by saying the utility bills mounted because the village collection department had allowed people to pay partial amounts on their bill each month. Their service continued as the bills racked up and then the renters took off without paying the outstanding bills. No one disputed his answer. “This was a thing of your making,” Snyder said. Fickert noted that the ordinance change helped squelch mounting bills in the future but council has never seriously addressed collecting those old bills through the years. Genzman explained that the changes made in 2012 eliminated the build up by pulling meters when bills exceeded the deposit amount in escrow. Resident Dennis Schiets said council should heed an old Rolex watch commercial. “Take your licking and keep on ticking.” He told them to forgive those debts permanently and move on – quit wasting time rehashing the issue at every meeting and don’t put any more money into trying to collect. This money is long gone, Schiets insisted. Put it aside and move on to important business affecting the village now, he said. Snyder agreed. He said the village paid for a $6 million sewer project and that it has spent millions to fix and still haven’t solved the problem permanently. He added the village coughed up an extra $100,000 to finish drilling across the river for an electrical project when contractors ran into bedrock. But yet they could not let go of this $469 debt because it was him, Snyder said. Council asked Genzman to find out the cost for a collection agency and what the projected revenue might be. That information may determine whether the village should attack the debts aggressively or to write them all off.

Kapfhammer blasts union after resignation Continued from front page and eliminate step increases in favor of merit pay. A recent meeting with the union became so intense that people got up and left, said Kapfhammer. Opposes levy “I’ve done everything I can to bring this district to where it needs to be. We have a superintendent, Lonnie Rivera, who puts the kids first, who works tirelessly every day to benefit the kids in this community, and we have a good school board. We’re improving,” said Kapfhammer, “But I won’t let the union lie about me and hurt people around me.” The district was headed towards placing an operating levy on the November ballot. Jane Fruth, treasurer of the district, recently said that spending exceeded revenue in the last fiscal year and that it is not “sustainable.” The board has until July 25 to decide whether to go with a levy in the fall. But Kapfhammer said last month that he was against it because most of the revenue would go toward teachers’ salaries. It was the wrong time, he had said, to ask for raises. Shafer last week disputed Kapfhammer’s allegations about the Facebook comments. Shafer said Kapfhammer’s own comments that were critical of Jim Stewart, a candidate running in last year’s election to the school board, were copied by someone who sent it to union officials. “It had nothing to do with the teachers’ union,” he said. “It was P.J.’s post on his own Facebook page. I don’t think anyone needed to circulate it. His daughter is fully aware of what he puts on Facebook.” Shafer also countered Kapfhammer’s claim that the recent collective bargaining meeting was heated.

“Nobody walked out,” he said. He also took issue with Kapfhammer’s claim that union officials were telling students that the board had fired their teachers. “I don’t know what he is referring to. I can’t defend something in which I don’t know what he’s talking about,” said Shafer. Regarding Kapfhammer’s truck being keyed, Shafer said surveillance cameras should have identified the responsible party if it had occurred after the meeting. “It would have been shown on camera. Obviously, there were no consequences for whoever did that. I don’t know who did it. I have no clue. I certainly would not have done that.” Controversy Kapfhammer is no stranger to controversy. Last year, the Maumee Municipal Court found him guilty of disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, for a verbal confrontation he had with an unidentified man outside the weight room at Clay High School. Kapfhammer, who was chairman of the school board’s safety committee at the time, said he was trying to get the man, who was autistic and unresponsive, to identify himself. Kapfhammer had denied threatening him, though he conceded he had raised his voice. In 2012, Kapfhammer was accused of making threatening comments to school board member Diana Gadus at a policy meeting in the conference room of the administration building. Gadus had filed an incident report with the school administration about the heated meeting. Gadus had stated that she and Kapfhammer had been discussing contract renewals for the next board meeting when the verbal altercation occurred. Kapfhammer had denied he had threatened Gadus. Kapfhammer, who is co-owner of

Maumee Bay Turf Center, was elected in 2011 along with board member Jeff Ziviski after they campaigned for more transparency on the board and against the board’s approval of pay hikes for administrators at a time when busing for Clay High School students had been eliminated in the financially strapped district. Many in the community had been critical of the raises, including an $11,000 hike for former Superintendent Mike Zalar. The board later approved a shuttle bus for Clay students, and Zalar gave back his pay raise the following year. “By his nature, he is a polarizing figure - either you love him or you hate him,” Ziviski said of Kapfhammer last week. “He is an easy target for people, but at the same time I think he is misunderstood. If people would remove the stereotype they have of him and get to know him, I think they would have a different opinion of him. They would realize he truly was looking to do what was in the best interest of the children of our district. As for the impact he had on our school system, I think he was the right person for the district at the time he was elected.” Ziviski said the board will look for a replacement to fill the remainder of Kapfhammer’s unexpired term. “The district is in an excellent position right now. We have the best superintendent in Northwest Ohio in Lonny Rivera. He is a unique individual who truly cares about children and will do whatever it takes to ensure that this district keeps moving forward. He will lead this district to be the best it can, and he has a board that supports him 100%,” said Ziviski. Carol Molnar, who was vice president of the school board, became president of the board, and Ziviski became vice president, after Kapfhammer resigned.

nspirational essage of the

eek: Putting Gratitude in Our Lives

We all know how nice it is to be thanked for some small kindness or good deed which we have done for another. 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

Elliston

getting into the habit of reminding ourselves of how much we have to be thankful for. 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

Challengers to JobsOhio lack standing By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that a public policy organization, a state senator and a former state representative lack standing to challenge the constitutionality of JobsOhio, a non-profit economic development corporation established by the state. The court, in a 5-2 decision Tuesday, held that ProgressOhio.org, Sen. Michael Skindell and former representative Dennis Murray were not the proper parties under the public-right doctrine to bring a lawsuit against the JobsOhio legislation. In a suit that originated in Franklin County Common Pleas Court in 2011, the parties argued the law that establishes JobsOhio and funds its programs with state liquor profits, violates the Ohio Constitution. The suit was dismissed by the court, which ruled Progress Ohio didn’t have standing - that is, a legal stake or interest in a dispute to bring the controversy before a court to obtain judicial relief. The Tenth District Court of Appeals agreed. In their appeal to the Supreme Court, the parties conceded they had no personal stake in the matter but did claim standing based on the public-right doctrine, the Declatory Judgment Act and their status as taxpayers. In a 24-page opinion, the Supreme Court held the public-right doctrine doesn’t apply to lawsuits filed in common pleas courts. In addition, the court concluded the doctrine didn’t give the parties standing because they didn’t demonstrate

an issue that is a threat to the public. They also didn’t invoke their right to sue as taxpayers or sue under the Declatory Judgment Act in the lower courts. Consequently, the Supreme Court determined they waived those claims. Voting in the majority were Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor and justices Judith French, Judith Ann Lanzinger and Ninth District Court of Appeals Judge Beth Whitmore, sitting in place of Justice Terrance O’Donnell, who recused himself. Justice Sharon Kennedy concurred only in the judgment and justices Paul Pfeifer and William O’Neill dissented in separate opinions. Writing for the majority, Justice French said the question of the constitutionality of JobsOhio can still be challenged. “We do not hold… that no person could ever have standing to challenge JobsOhio,” she wrote. “A proper party – i.e.; one with legal standing - may unquestionably contest the constitutionality of JobsOhio. As to that proper party, the courthouse doors remain open.” In his dissent, Justice Pfeifer contended the appellants did have standing, citing a case involving the Ohio Academy of Trial Lawyers. “The issues the appellants raise concern the structure of government rather than individual rights,” he wrote. “The fact that those issues do not lead to an injury to an individual should not prevent this court from ensuring that the principles and requirements of those constitutional provisions are maintained. By doing so, we implicitly recognize the standing of our founders. This court bears a responsibility to today’s citizens and to the framers to answer the questions the appellants pose.”

Justice O’Neill also criticized the court’s decision to not address the issue. “The governor and Ohio General Assembly may very well be right here. Maybe it is permissible to permit a private entity to spend hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars without the annoyance of public audits and the state auditor asking an occasional question. Maybe this new-era form of governmental accountability does not violate Ohio’s constitution. But unless we examine the issue, the people of Ohio will never have an answer to that question. It is simply shameful that the court has refused to do its job.” When the formation of JobsOhio was being discussed in the legislature, groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union criticized the proposal for its lack of transparency. Ohio Auditor David Yost in 2013 subpoenaed records of JobsOhio. After conducting an audit of its operations, his office issued four citations for non-compliance and four recommendations for strengthening internal controls and addressing potential conflicts of interest. The review, completed in November 2013, covered the period from July 5, 2011 to June 30, 2012. State Rep. Chris Redfern, D – Catawba Island, said the decision leaves several questions about JobsOhio up in the air. “The Supreme Court did not rule JobsOhio legal,” he said Wednesday. “This is a technicality. JobsOhio is funded with public dollars and it’s a private organization. The State of Ohio manages liquor proceeds. That’s always been a public activity until John Kasich was elected. Corporate welfare in this state is running amuck.”

Funding sought for Genoa Senior Center By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com An application for Community Development Block Grant funding that includes a request for $59,100 for improvements to the senior center in the Village of Genoa has been authorized by the Ottawa County commissioners. The commissioners Tuesday authorized a total of $97,000 in funding requests that will be submitted to the Ohio Development Services Agency for final approval. Kevin Gladden, village administrator, said the funding, if received, would be used to upgrade windows of the senior center building, for a new rear door, tuckpointing, painting and roof repairs.

“The senior program has been pretty successful but the building has been in need of some work,” he said. “The rear of the building is in pretty rough shape.” Two years ago, the village used CDBG funds for curb ramps and improvements to the front of the building, he added. The building is located at 514 Main Street in half of a former hardware store. Programs are open to Ottawa County seniors. Commissioner Steve Arndt said he was confident the state would approve the funding requests but noted the county’s share is about half of what it received in recent years. Other applications approved by the commissioners include: • Senior Center Put-in-Bay Township $17,400

• Public services - $14,500 • Fair Housing - $1,000 • Administration - $5,000 The commissioners also authorized a request to seek $350,000 in CDBG loan funding for a Main Street Revitalization Project in Port Clinton. Of that amount, $150,000 will be used as a loan for public infrastructure improvements in the city’s downtown business district and $200,000 will go to loans for renovations in the private sector. Both loans will include interest rates of 2 percent. In other business, the commissioners approved a maintenance assessment agreement with the Sandusky County commissioners for Bolsinger Joint County Ditch and a maintenance work proposal for Indian Joint County Ditch 925.

To the recently graduated: Words to spring your departure

Lake: How do you want to be remembered? Remembered by whom? Google? The history books? Your children? Answering this question will dictate how you live your life. Oak Harbor: The hardest years, the wildest years, the desperate and dividing years, these shall not be forgotten years. This is a paraphrase of a song by Midnight Oil. You are in for a surprise if you think your high school years are the hardest, most desperate and dividing years you will live through. Strap yourself in for an exhilarating and bumpy ride. Hopefully, you’ll have a little time to glance in the rear view mirror and remember with fondness your wildest years, which if you attend college, will not be your high school years.

You don’t become what you want, you become what you believe.

You’ve studied, done your homework, worked out, ate right, disciplined your mind and now you are waiting. Waiting for inspiration. Waiting for that string of words that will provide the spark for you to leave the comfort and security of where you are and go boldly where you need to be. Here, once again, are the mottos for this year’s high school graduates. May one of them light your fire.

Woodmore: We have come a long way, but not as far as we will go. Four years of high school is a long way, roughly 22 percent of your young life. Teachers can drone on; training never seems to end; discovery of self and others is a slow unfolding preoccupation, and you are learning to savor that first taste of a wid-

er world. But, about that far road you think you’ll travel. Once you get there and look back you’ll come to the realization it was a short road. Don’t waste time. Gibsonburg: We cannot discover new oceans unless we have the courage to lose sight of the shore. Andre Gide, French author and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947, urged us to leave what we know and venture into the unknown. Get excited. Who knows what you’ll discover. Eastwood: The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. LaoTzu, Chinese philosopher in 6th Century BC, knew this truth: You can’t plan every mile of your life. Too many variables and you won’t control every step. Your spouse, your children and your employers will all have some say. Take the first step, gather knowledge, foster a support network, look around and take the next step. Genoa: Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. Harriet Tubman, abolitionist and Union spy, knew the power of inner strength, pas-

sion and patience. Don’t let life sap you of these traits as you reach for the stars. Concentrate on changing your little corner of the world, like Rosa Parks did when she refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger, and maybe you’ll change the world. Northwood: If your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, president of Liberia, knows there’s a difference between a dreaded fear and a healthy fear. A healthy fear can fuel a dream bigger than what you believe your background and talent can achieve. Courage, young Jedi, courage. Waite: You become what you believe. Oprah Winfrey’s complete quote is “You don’t become what you want, you become what you believe.” This is hard to believe, but it is true. You can become who you believe you are in your dreams. But, remember, that belief only emerges from yourself after you’ve developed the inner strength, skills, passion, discipline and patience to mold your present self into your future self. Get busy, there’s work to be done. Comment at zoz@presspublications. com

Your life, just like the house you live in, needs a foundation

Dare to Live by Bryan Golden

“

Whenever you face a choice in life, pick the path based on your foundation.

“

A house built on a faulty foundation is unstable. External forces will cause it to move or even collapse. A solid foundation is essential for the durability of any building. If it is constructed in sand or mud, anything built on it will be unstable. Even though a structure may look impressive, without a solid foundation, it will soon topple. Your life works the same way. A sturdy foundation based on sound morals, principles, and ethics provides you with the ability to withstand adversity. Your foundation keeps you rooted when faced with a quandary. Life is filled with challenges which constantly test your foundation. Whether you succumb or survive is dependent on the quality of your foundation. The daily headlines are filled with constant examples of the consequences resulting from a faulty foundation. The demise of people from every demographic, due to a defective foundation is well documented. Entertainers, politicians, athletes, and business people are among the many categories of individuals whose lives are shattered because they lacked solid grounding. Your core values are an integral part of your foundation. They provide strength and guidance when confronting adversity. When faced with a dilemma, you won’t have to wonder what you should do, you’ll know what you need to do. The news is replete with constant examples of people taking bribes, selling influence, or acting in any number of ways resulting from a nonexistent or weak ethical foundation. Although their flawed behavior may persist for a while, eventually their world collapses due to their inadequate foundation. An unshakable foundation prevents you from being swayed by negative influences. At some point you will encounter circumstances where there is pressure for you to act in an inappropriate manner.

Without a strong footing, you are prone to being swayed into acting foolishly. It’s always more effective to make the right decision rather than attempting to recover and clean up an ensuing mess resulting from a poor one. Although there is no limit as to how

broad and deep your foundation may be, there are several key building blocks essential for sound construction. Your integrity is a great place to start. Being honest, trustworthy, and having rock solid ethics, provides tremendous stability. Next add dependability. Seek to help others without being asked. People should always be able to count on you. Never be a fair weather friend. True friendship means being there when someone is at a low point. Don’t have a price at which you are willing to abandon your foundation. If it’s wrong to do something, the amount of potential financial gain is irrelevant. Compromising your foundation for any price is a huge mistake. In this transaction you have a net loss. Your cost is the destruction of your reputation along with the disappearance of your freedom. If you sell out, the person paying you knows what you have done and will hold it over you indefinitely. Be your own person. Think for yourself. If something doesn’t make sense, ask why, and then find the answer. Say no to peer pressure. Don’t engage in self-destructive behavior or any actions that harm or take advantage of others. Building a solid foundation is not difficult. If you don’t already have one, now is the time to start putting it into place. Once

Deals that amount to NAFTA on steroids hurt the rest of us Guest Editorial By Emily Schwartz Greco and William A. Collins

“

With people taking a backseat to profits, it’s no wonder our leaders are negotiating pacts like this behind closed doors.

“

President Barack Obama is a surprisingly devout disciple of so-called “free trade.” During his first presidential bid he promised to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), indicating some concern over the U.S.Canada-Mexico pact. A month after his 2009 inauguration, Obama declared that he would “be very careful” and take his time meeting that goal. Instead, he crossed fixing that accord off his to-do list and became a cheerleader for new deals that amount to NAFTA on steroids. What’s the big deal? The United States has inked free-trade deals with 20 countries over the past three decades. This country plunged headfirst into the World Trade Organization before it formally launched in 1995. It’s now clear that this zeal benefits corporations while hurting the rest of us. These accords stoke inequality by driving down wages. The United States exported nearly 700,000 jobs between NAFTA’s 1994 debut and 2010, despite promises that it would expand employment. Following 25 years of stagnation, typical household income remains about $51,000 a year. Free trade deals hand corporations a shield to fend off national regulations. Hitching its fortune to rules rigged by the

Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR), a Canadianbased mining company called Pacific Rim claims to have a right to dig for gold in El Salvador — even though that country has banned the practice to protect its meager supply of drinkable water. Pacific Rim is suing El Salvador’s government for $300

million. The proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal could render this kind of corporate power grab routine. The pact would skew global economic rules for a dozen countries, including our own and Japan, which account for 40 percent of world trade. Among other things, this deal would make it easier for corporations to use “investor-to-state” lawsuits like the El Salvador debacle to get their way over the objections of foreign governments. This recipe for ripoffs isn’t really about trade. And that’s the point. These arrangements are a gimmick intended to trump local and national laws to suit the whims of corporations. That’s why merely five of the looming Trans-Pacific deal’s 29 “chapters” have much to do with trade. The rest hand big companies privileges and protections. With people taking a backseat to profits, it’s no wonder our leaders are negotiating pacts like this behind closed doors. When WikiLeaks spilled the beans on the Trans-Pacific Partnership’s environmental chapter, it turned out that this deal included weaker safeguards than its predecessors, outraging people who spend their lives fighting for cleaner air and water. The Obama administration is also pursuing a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) with European nations. Those talks are just as secret, and that pact would also make it easier for corporations to override environmental safeguards by suing foreign governments to get their way.

Why is WikiLeaks rooting around for these documents and releasing them to the public? The pacts will require Senate approval, yet lawmakers have had to beg for any details about them. Based on leaks, other big concerns center around health issues. For example, some provisions would block government policies that discourage smoking. There are also many concerns about labor rights. Meanwhile, hundreds of corporate insiders get a seat at the table without making a fuss. A list of 605 big-business insiders leaked in 2012 offers a glimpse of the scope of this influence. It includes industry-wide lobbyists like the American Farm Bureau and the Nuclear Energy Institute, along with a who’s-who of corporate America. Abbott Laboratories, Caterpillar Inc., Walmart and Yum! Restaurants International, the fast-food powerhouse that includes KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell, all made the list while environmentalists and labor leaders remain locked out. Thankfully, the Senate is denying Obama his request for “fast-track” negotiating authority. Given the kind of gridlock prevailing in Congress, perhaps these deals won’t ever be sealed.

Parrotheads to “phlock” to drive-in for concert simulcast By Jeffrey D. Norwalk Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com In his popular 1973 song “GrapefruitJuicy Fruit,” legendary trop rock troubadour Jimmy Buffett tells the story of the old Islander Drive-In in Key West, Florida; all the tourist girls he used to take on dates there; and the jugs of a sweet concoction he liked to call “Purple Passion” that they’d share to feel good in front of the big screen. And while those wild and sultry nights happened over 30 long years ago, and that Jimmy may not get down to Key West or guzzle gin quite as often as he used to, on Thursday, June 19, he’ll be making a triumphant return to the classic American drivein theater. On that evening, he and his Coral Reefer Band will play a very special show at the Sundance Kid Drive-In at 4500 Navarre Ave. in Oregon…sort of. Sundance will participate in an unprecedented, much-anticipated simulcast of Buffett’s live performance at the Coyote Drive-In in Fort Worth, Texas that same night, which will be shared with 80-plus “big screens” from coast-tocoast. “This is the first time I’ll have ever seen a simulcast concert at a drive-in theater, and I don’t really know why they didn’t think of it before,” said Northwest Ohio Parrothead Club President Don Dauer. “I’m super-excited about going to it, since I’ll be out of town when Jimmy plays live up at Comerica Park,” said “Double-D” who has attended upwards of 24 Buffett concerts since first becoming a Parrothead in the mid-to-late 1970s. “I can listen to all of Jimmy’s concerts at home on Radio Margaritaville, but really, a Jimmy Buffett show is supposed to be a communal thing. What makes it so special is sharing it with other Parrotheads – both

Jimmy Buffett those you know, and those you’ll meet,” he said. “I hope this (simulcast) turns into a great club event (for the NWO Parrotheads),” adds Dauer. “The invites are out, and I’m just waiting on the numbers. I’m talking with the drive-in owner, and I’m hoping we

can all park our cars in the back over a few centrally-located parking spaces, and then set up our camp there.” “If we can all corral our chairs together, that’d be great,” he says. “It’s a drive-in, but I can’t imagine anyone really wanting to watch from their cars.”

As Parrotheads worldwide are traditionally wont to do, “phlocks” of local Buffett fans are likely to show up at the Sundance decked out in crazy Hawaiian shirts, parrot hats with flapping wings, foam shark fins, Mardi Gras beads, coconut bras, leis and the like, and dance across the drivein’s gravel parking lot in their flip-flops and grass skirts, as they sing such classics as “Fins,” “Boat Drinks,” “Cheeseburger In Paradise” and “Margaritaville” at the top of their lungs. Unlike a traditional Buffett concert at an amphitheater or at a Major League ballpark Parrotheads won’t be able to party too hard at the Sundance Drive-In as bringing grills and cheeseburgers, portable blenders, margaritas and coolers full of beer will be strictly prohibited. Instead, grub, libations, and other goodies will be sold by the theater that night, in an effort to make the big screen experience as much like a traditional Buffett concert as possible. “At $20 a head, this Buffett concert (at the drive-in) is about 15 percent of the cost of a live show,” Dauer said, “and, it would be great if he’d do this once a concert season. “I love a night at the drive-in, but, I confess, I don’t go as often as I once did,” he said. “Drive-Ins are pure Americana though, as is, in a way, Jimmy Buffett. “It’s just not summer without a Buffett concert,” he adds, “and I think anyone with just a passing knowledge of Jimmy’s music, should come out and be a part of the full-on Jimmy Buffett experience. Parrotheads are an amazing group of folks. We’re incredibly diverse, yet we all get together under the common umbrella of Buffett. I think this could be the key to world peace!” Log onto greateasterntheatres.com, or call the Sundance Kid Drive-In at 419-6919668 for more details.

Good tools, attention to form help senior gardeners avoid strain There is no doubt that gardening is not only an enjoyable pastime but also a productive activity that many can enjoy. As we age, working in the garden can continue to be a healthy, enjoyable part of life. However, for older gardeners, there are some things that need to be considered to ensure that this outdoor activity is a safe and beneficial one. For senior gardeners, good body form and avoiding stress or overuse of certain areas of the body are very important. Especially vulnerable are the back, arms, wrists, hands, legs, and knees. Before starting any garden activity, seniors need to take time to warm up by doing some stretching. These stretches should be focused on the lower back, legs, and arms. After stretching, garden work can begin but it is important not to spend more than 15 minutes at any single garden chore. Rotate tasks by alternating large muscle jobs, such as digging or watering, with small muscle jobs, such as weeding or deadheading. Proper garden tools are essential for senior gardeners. Gardening stools and kneeling pads provide super protection for knees and backs. Long-handled shovels, hoes, and rakes, etc. and oversized

Get Growing shovels and rakes with padded handles can reduce strain on the back. Ergonomic garden tools are also available to reduce strain on arms, wrists, and backs while doing garden chores. These tools come with shorter handles or fatter handles making them easier to grip and use. To find these tools check www.yardbutlerstore.com, www.radiusgarden.com, or www.gardeningwithease.com. Garden carts with large wheels make moving heavy loads much easier and reduce the strain on the legs, arms and back. Watering is an essential part of any gardening project. For older gardeners, carrying water or struggling with heavy hoses can be daunting. Of course, sprinklers or automated watering systems are the ideal, but if these are not available, drip or soaker hoses snaked through garden areas work quite well. Coil hoses are easy to use for patio or deck gardens and a hose caddy and reel makes it much easier to carry the hose around a yard. For a small yard or garden area, a large centralized water container can supply water for smaller watering cans

that can be filled and carried to the plants in the garden. To cut down on the need for frequent watering, mulch around the base of plants to hold in the moisture. Some other tips for ensuring safe gardening for seniors include: • Keep hydrated – carry a container of drinking water along in the garden. • Try not to work outside in the heat of the day and wear sunscreen. • Wear a hat and garden gloves and attend to any scratches, cuts, or bites right away. • Avoid twisting or straining your back, arms, wrists, or legs. • If regular gardening becomes too

difficult try container gardening using large pots, window boxes, tub planters, etc. Trellises allow for vertical gardening which enables seniors to work standing up and raised beds eliminate the need for bending, stooping, or kneeling while working. By giving attention to these cautions and adapting where needed, seniors can continue to regularly participate in the productive activities of gardening. Helen, Paul, Ella and Allen are great examples of senior gardeners who, in their senior years, are still enjoying and benefiting from gardening. Helen, at 76, enjoys gardening as a pleasant way to exercise and give her arthritic joints regular movement which maintains their strength and range of motion. Eighty-six-year old Paul works in his garden every day. A few years ago, Paul suffered a stroke which left him unable to be independently active the way he wanted to be. Now however, after therapy and strength building, he gardens to maintain his progress and because of his keen interest in growing things. Allen and his wife Ella, at ages 91 and 89, enjoy their gardens and work together to keep them attractive and productive. They enjoy growing their own produce and credit their fresh fruits and vegetables with helping them stay healthy and active.

Shirley Brewerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dance studio passes the 50-year mark By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Seventy-seven-year-old dance instructor Shirley Brewer has been teaching others how to twirl a baton and dance their way to New York City for most of her life. She has been a prominent dancer and choreographer in one form or another nearly all her life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; starting with her first lessons at age 8. And, she is still going strong, operating Brewer School of Dance and Baton for over 50 years. The studio, at 4320 Navarre Avenue since 1993, first opened at Starr and East Broadway in East Toledo in 1960. As a child, Brewer hopped on a bus with her now deceased sister to a downtown studio for lessons, but she quickly caught the attention of instructor Marilyn Krall, who had a studio on Starr Avenue. It was in 1949, while under Krallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tutelage that Brewer started the dance revue team, the Marilynettes, one of her first such excursions. Soon after, she started the Brewer Time-Steppers. One of her early trainers was a former Vaudeville dancing partner of Gene Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and she also received instruction from a well-known European dancer who, thanks to Krall, arrived here from California specifically to work with Brewer. By 1970, her name was so well-known locally that when Johnny Cash, June Carter, and Loretta Lynn were performing in Columbus, Brewer was asked to appear representing the City of Toledo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;June and her mother entertained, too, and I knew he (Cash) and her were going to get married,â&#x20AC;? Brewer said. Shortly after both of Brewerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents passed away 17 days apart in 1972, locally based Excalibur Productions called her. She enlisted as Excaliburâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choreographer for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sound of Music,â&#x20AC;? repeated the same assignment for â&#x20AC;&#x153;1776â&#x20AC;? and followed suit in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flower Drum Song,â&#x20AC;? where she was also the featured dancer with Sally Harding in a dream ballet that was considered the highlight of the show. She also choreographed a former Miss America, Laurie Lee Shaffer, for the Excalibur production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The King and I.â&#x20AC;? In 1973, Ann Arbor-based entertainment and arts magazine Impresario featured Excalibur Productions. After dancing a ballet in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flower Drum,â&#x20AC;? Brewer was asked by Impresario why she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dance more, saying her role with Excalibur was more of an opportunity for her students, who she always put first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one really asked me,â&#x20AC;? she told Impresario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now my students have a place to use their dancing. They can take

Front row, Sydney Wilbur, Alaynah Martin, Shirley Brewer, Courtney Large, Calee Reynolds. Back row, Laura Howard, Jesse Morris, Monica Martin, Payton Cufr. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) their lessons, prepare an audition, and the money spent on the lessons can start to mean something. I wish more people were aware of what Excalibur has to offer.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Theresa Brewer Shirley is the sister-in-law of Theresa Brewer, who was the sister of Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late husband, Mick. Theresa was one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prolific and popular female pop singers of the 1950s, recording nearly 600 songs. Whenever Shirley was seen with Theresa, she was asked the same question â&#x20AC;&#x201D; why not pursue a career like Theresa? Even Theresa wanted her to do so, especially when the two were younger, studying and pursuing careers in New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was quite upset with me because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to stay and try to do more (in NY),â&#x20AC;? Shirley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not lucrative to try and get into that, but for someone like her it was because she had agents and a hit song.â&#x20AC;? Helps local shows become big By the late 1970s, her choreographing skills were in high demand. Under director Wayne Bricker, an Oregon native,

The Wedding Planner

Shirley choreographed for The Velvetone Choraliers the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Travel Around the Worldâ&#x20AC;? at Fassett Junior High School. In 1978, Shirley was part of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rough Diamond Revue,â&#x20AC;? which was staged by the Jerome H. Cargill Producing Organization of New York City. The revue was brought to Clay High School in May as part of a musical variety show to raise funds for the purchase of a fetal heart monitor for St. Charles Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obstetrical department. In 1988, Shirley choreographed the Peristyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas show with Sesame Streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bob McGraff. In the late 1980s, early 90s, she and several other â&#x20AC;&#x153;older than average chorus line gypsiesâ&#x20AC;? who called themselves the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy Hoofer,â&#x20AC;? were featured in Ohio-Michigan Line magazine. The name, in itself, was enough to draw attention, not to mention that these eight dancers won numerous competitions in the 40-50 year old categories. The Happy Hoofers took first place in a local Star Power competition, which made them eligible for nationals in Atlantic City, N.J. or Orlando, Fla. In late August, 1990, the Brewer Dance Studio played a role in the 30th anniversary celebration of the locally-based but nation-

ally renowned Johnny Knorr Orchestra. Teaching resume Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teaching credentials go beyond private lessons at her Oregon studio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My ballet master in 1980 said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do you realize how many students you have reached?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and it was over 10,000 then, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been more since,â&#x20AC;? Shirley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m teaching three generations now, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on the third generation. I have taught their grandparents, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taught their mothers, and now I have taught the kids.â&#x20AC;? She taught at the University of Toledo four years, overseeing The Rockettes dance teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choreography, and has been involved with high school majorettes and music programs at Cardinal Stritch Catholic, Central Catholic, Waite, St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jesuit, Maumee, Perrysburg, Genoa, Northwood, Oak Harbor, Lake, and others. Shirley has been with the Clay majorettes and drum majors for 40 years, and she has been honored for her commitment by the Oregon school board. Classes offered at her Oregon studio today include ballet, jazz, tap dancing, baton, ball room dancing, hip hop dancing, and wedding choreography.

Ackermans’ ‘backyard vacation spot’ By Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer twalro@presspublications.com

Paul and Kathy Ackerman’s garden will be featured on the Lawn & Garden Tour.

Paul and Kathy Ackerman are used to people stopping them to ask various gardening questions when they’re out and about. “Paul has a degree in landscape horticulture and lots of experience, and I’m his laborer,” Kathy said. The couple is looking forward to sharing the lush garden and landscape at their home at 1501 S. Stadium, Oregon, along with their experience on the upcoming Lawn & Garden Tour being sponsored June 21 by the Oregon-Jerusalem Historical Society. The Lawn & Garden Tour, which will be held 10 a.m.-4 p.m., will feature 10 homes in the Oregon-Jerusalem area. Maps will be available beginning at 9:30 a.m. at the Historic Brandville School, located at 1133 Grasser St., Oregon (near Pickle and Wheeling). In the event of rain, the tour will be held June 28. The couple got involved after hearing about the event from another homeowner who signed up for the tour. “Because I have a background in horticulture, she thought I might be interested in getting involved,” Paul said. “So we spoke with the organizers from the historical society, they came out to our home and invited us to participate.” Paul is a member of the Oregon Tree Commission and offers his expertise to the city in putting the right trees in the right place and maintaining them in the right way.

In the early 1980s, he was the grounds superintendent at the former Crosby Gardens, now the Toledo Botanical Gardens. He also worked with golf course architect Arthur Hills’ landscape company. With the official start of summer just days away, the Ackermans are still getting things together in the garden after what Paul calls one of the worst years horticulturists have seen from winter damage. “The sustained bitter cold weather caused what I’ve been calling a horticultural tsunami,” he said. “The harsh winter caused the outright death of a lot of plants, and damage to the aesthetic value of many more.” Visitors to the garden will see a wide mix of plantings and ornamentation. “It’s very eclectic and informal – while some people specialize in planting one type of plants or another, I think we’ve got just about one of everything,” Kathy said. “We just plant things we like,” Paul said. “And it’s always changing – we’ll try new and exotic things; I’ll also dig up trees and plants and move or replace them with others,” Paul said. “The informal plantings, along with the fire pit and pond, create a kind of backyard vacation spot,” Kathy said. “People always say, ‘It feels so comfortable here.” “I guess it will be when we have time to stop working on it and take time to smell the roses,” Paul said. Tickets are available at the door at the Brandville School for $12 or may be purchased in advance from the Oregon Branch of the Genoa Back for $10. Call Linda at 419-698-1045 for more information.

me, but it’s something to learn from. I have to take better care of my body going into college.” Bryer, who said he’s dropped seven pounds since last weekend, plans to put all of his high school awards on display at his graduation party. “I’ll have all of them out there,” he said. “I don’t even know how many there are, but it’s quite a big number.” One of those awards will be the hammer throw championship he won on Sunday in Columbus at the Ohio State Hammer Championships. He threw 202-7 to beat 29 other competitors from around Ohio. “It was huge for me,” Bryer said. “I felt the worst on Sunday, by far. I was third going into the finals and I contemplated not throwing in the finals because I wasn’t feeling good. I was like, just go through it and finish up. On my last throw, I beat the kid who was leading. He had 198 (feet) and I threw 202. It was crazy. It was pouring down rain. I was happy I won, and then I told my dad, ‘let’s go home.’ ” Genoa sophomore Carly Gose placed 14th in the girls’ D-II 800 run last Saturday, finishing in 2:21.3.

“

I knew the competitors around me had a chance to pop one farther. I was on edge the whole time. I was hoping for a bigger throw, but nothing was hitting.

“

Genoa senior thrower Logan Bryer admitted he could have done better at Friday and Saturday’s Division II state track and field meet at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus. “It was pretty average for me,” he said. Just imagine if Bryer had been healthy. He found out on Monday that he had competed at the state meet with mononucleosis. Still, he threw well enough to secure a Division II state title in the shot put and place third in the discus. Bryer took second in the state in the discus two years ago. “I’ve felt like crap since (last) Wednesday,” Bryer said. “I thought I had strep throat and I felt terrible all weekend. (Monday), my dad (Josh) said to go back in and see what’s going on. I went to a doctor here in Genoa and he said I have mono. I threw with it all weekend. “I was pretty drained all weekend. I was telling people it felt like I was spinning my tires. It felt like the body wouldn’t respond to that (throwing) action. It was like I was going through the motions, but I couldn’t help it.” Bryer’s state-winning shot put throw was 55 feet, 8 inches, which was not a season best. Bryer didn’t qualify for last year’s state meet. “I fouled out at the regional last season,” Bryer said, “and that pushed me all year. It was a really big motivator for me.” Bryer’s winning heave came on his second-to-last attempt of the competition. He fouled on two of his six throws. He said he didn’t think his penultimate throw was going to hold up for first place. “I knew the competitors around me had a chance to pop one farther,” Bryer said. “I was on edge the whole time. I was hoping for a bigger throw, but nothing was hitting. Thankfully, it held up and I got the win. I was proud and happy that all the work I’ve done came to a head. The accomplishment of being a state champion, no one can take that away from you. It was a huge accomplishment for me.” It’s the state championship, and not the mononucleosis, that makes Bryer this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Track & Field Co-Athlete of the Year, joining Eastwood 4x400 relay team members Tim Hoodlebrink, Joe Salinas, Brennan Seifert and Devin Snowden, who also won a D-II state title. Bryer became the second Genoa thrower to win a D-II state shot put title in the last four years. Brad Szypka, who is now at the University of Kentucky, won the title in 2011. Bryer will join Szypka on the UK track team this fall. “I wanted to continue the great legacy of Genoa throwers,” Bryer said. “Everything coming together and all the hard work and dedication I’ve put in through the years made it worth it.” Bryer’s third-place discus throw traveled 171-4. His throw of 177-4 in 2012 earned him a second-place finish. Last Saturday, he finished behind juniors Trevor Detillion of Unioto (181) and Noah Castle of Wauseon (180-2). “I went against two really good discus throwers who have bright futures,” Bryer said. “Taking third to those two guys, it wasn’t what I wanted but I know I lost to some great competitors. I threw average, for

The Press Box Clouse to take over as Woodmore basketball coach The Woodmore Board of Education has named Aaron Clouse, the former JV girls’ coach and assistant varsity coach, as the new boys’ varsity basketball coach. I can’t wait to get started,” said Clouse, a New Riegel High School graduate. “I can’t wait to get the players in the gym and begin working towards our goals for next season.” Clouse will take over for the 2014-15 season after former head coach Brad Sander resigned, citing family obligations. “If players play hard, with passion and

are able to work as a team, eventually things will turn themselves around,” Clouse said. “My players will be disciplined and play the game the right way.” The Wildcats are coming off of a 6-18 season. Clouse has taught in the Woodmore School District since the 2004-05 school year. He began teaching second grade and currently teaches third graders. Clouse is a 2002 graduate of Bowling Green State University. Clouse has had much success with his position as junior varsity basketball coach. Over the past six years, his JV teams have compiled a remarkable 90-35 record. However, he says the pace at which boys and girls basketball teams play is very different. Adding to that, JV is completely different than varsity. Much more pressure is put onto the decisions that must be made in different game situations. Clouse is prepared for this, though. Clouse has 14 years of coaching experience, including two years as a varsity assistant at New Riegel, two years of coaching junior high boys at New Riegel, four years of coaching junior high girls at Woodmore

Baumann Auto Group Genoa

and six years of JV experience at Woodmore. “Coach Sander left this program in a good spot,” Clouse said. “We’re just going to continue the groundwork that he laid and keep working forward and keep moving in the direction the program is going.” (— by Window To Woodmore Aaron Clouse staff writer Drew Frederick.

When you’re with a relay, you have girls to share it with, and it just makes it more joyful and happy.

“

One of the most memorable seasons in Oak Harbor sports history ended in fantastic fashion with three relay teams placing at the Division II state meet at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on the campus of Ohio State University. The Rocket’s girls 4x400, 4x100 and 4x200 meter relay teams finished fourth, sixth and eighth, respectively. The 4x400 came in at three minutes, 58.67 seconds, clinching the fourth spot and setting a school record when closer Allie Jett rallied past Autumn Young of Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy just before the finish line. Athena Eli led things off before passing the baton to Cydney St. Clair, who had the team in first place when she handed off to Karis DeWalt. The 4x100, which consisted of Jett, Rebekah Rayburn, St. Clair and Eli, finished in 49.81, just over one-tenth of a second short of the school record, and the 4x200 team of Jett, Rayburn, DeWalt and Eli, which could’ve finished considerably higher had it not been for a poor handoff, came in at 1:44.46. The Oak Harbor school record for the 4x200 was broken at the regional meet in 1:44.28. In addition, junior Jordyn Dunn finished 14th in the discus with a throw of 114 feet, 7 inches, a personal record. As a team, the Rockets finished in 30th place with nine points. Every Oak Harbor athlete who won a league, district, or regional title, or qualified for state is on this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Track & Field Honor Roll. “I was extremely happy with what they did,” Oak Harbor coach John McKitrick said. “They probably accomplished more than what we set out for. They set themselves up nicely in the finals. They had decent lanes (going into) the finals. Once there, they had to make it happen, and they did that. “The kids competed, and that’s all you can ask for. Their mindset was right. We didn’t have that same enthusiasm last year. I think last year they wanted to do well, and this year they were determined to do well, and that’s a big difference. Last year, we let the race dictate to us what was going to happen. This year, we were going to dictate the race, and that’s what happened.” Oddly enough, there was concern that the 4x400 would not even make it to regionals. At the district meet, Eli strained a hamstring running the 400 and was unable to run the 4x400, the day’s final event. Fortunately, Alexa Weis, the district champion in the 300 hurdles, filled in for Eli and helped the 4x400 to a third place finish and a spot at regionals. Eli returned the next week and helped the Rockets to a first place finish and a spot at the state meet. It was an especially rewarding experience for St. Clair, the lone senior, who got to finish her career on a high note. After a strong showing her sophomore season, St. Clair struggled at times to win events last year. However, she used that as motivation in the offseason, lifted weights and conditioned to stay in shape, something that propelled her to a return to podiums her senior year. “Coach told us exactly what we needed to do going into the race,” said St. Clair, a regional qualifier in the 300 hurdles. “The whole time I was thinking about my team and what we needed to get done, and to exceed our expectations, and we all did our part and I could not be more thankful for what everyone has done. When I got to the last 100, I thought, ‘This is the last time I’ll be running this and I need to give it my all and to not give up.’ I was very determined

Oak Harbor's 4x400 relay team — Allie Jett, Karis DeWalt, Cydney St. Clair, and Athena Eli, finished fourth at the Division II state meet. (Photo courtesy of Rebecca Eli) going into that last 100. “Just how far we’ve come along, it’s awesome. I wanted to win it for (my teammates) so badly. Sharing it with other people and knowing that we pushed each other to this point is important. I believe it’s the most important thing.” Even more redemption It was also redemption for Jett, DeWalt and Eli, all of whom got to the state meet last year as part of relays but were unable to advance to the final. “Last year, we came to state, and I guess our reward was just being at state,” Jett said. “It didn’t go very well last year, so this year, we wanted to fix it and go further and do better. We wanted to place at state and get on the podium. If we place at state, we get our picture on the wall (at the school gymnasium), and that was one of my major goals. I think this was a pretty big achievement.” Eli agreed with Jett’s assessment. “I think last year we were just excited to make it out of regionals,” said Eli, who also earned letters in volleyball and basketball this year. “Two out of the six girls last year were freshmen. The mindset that we had wasn’t as competitive as it was this year. This year we knew our times were good enough to get on the podium and I couldn’t be more proud or happy with my team. “Three relays getting on that podium, it’s much more than anything I could ever asked for,” Eli continued. “We worked so hard this entire season and knowing that we improved from last year to this year, coming back here and doing that is amazing.” Eli, who was the Sandusky Bay Conference champion in the 200 and the 400, qualified for regionals in the 400 but didn’t race in the event just before the state meet to focus on the relays, plus she did not run in the 200 at districts because of the

hamstring strain. She said placing at state as part of a relay team was more fulfilling than doing it in the 200 or 400 would have been. “When you’re with a relay, you have girls to share it with, and it just makes it more joyful and happy,” said Eli, who was moved from the anchor to the first leg in the last relay, a decision McKitrick made that paid off. “It takes every one of those girls to get here and place and get on the podium,

and I wouldn’t change this for anything. I couldn’t be more proud.” Eli, a sophomore, transferred from Genoa before last year, and DeWalt, a junior, moved back to Oak Harbor before her sophomore year. The addition of those two, combined with an already capable trio in Jett, St. Clair and Rayburn, has helped lift the program to new heights. Winners of five consecutive Sandusky Bay Conference titles and their first district title in 29 years, the Rockets have gotten five relay teams to state in the last two years, and with St. Clair being the only senior of the group, there’s no reason to think this performance could not be duplicated next season. In addition, there are younger athletes like Weis, Annie Quisno, Tori Schiets, Paige Velliquette, Taylor Dunn and Ally Bloomer who McKitrick feels could make it down to Columbus as well with a little work. There were others on the team who took pride in the team redeeming itself at state this season. “We didn’t set ourselves up as well as we should’ve last year. Just to be able to come back and redo it and have an extra relay on top of it, it was an amazing feeling,” said DeWalt, who also helped lead the soccer team to the state final four back in the fall. “And knowing that we were competitive and we could actually get on the podium this year, it was a great team effort. We had five girls on three relays (get to Columbus).”

Gibsonburg’s Reynolds twins place at state once more

“

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

It happens so fast, it’s hard, to remember everything.

“

Parents of twins will tell you it’s no secret that what one twin sister or brother wants, the other is sure to want the same thing. Gibsonburg’s Kendall and Colleen Reynolds are no different. A year ago, Colleen won the Division III state title in the 400-meter dash while her older sister, Kendall, settled for a second straight 13th-place finish in the 400 at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus. Both sisters qualified to last Friday and Saturday’s D-III state championships yet again, and this time both of them came back with medals. Colleen placed fourth in the 400 with a time of 57.56 seconds, while Kendall placed sixth in the 100 dash in 12.66. Kendall ran the exact same time in the 100 in last year’s preliminary race, but was unable to advance to the finals – by one spot. “This year was probably my most nerve-wracking year,” Kendall said. “I’ve wanted to get on the (awards) podium so bad. It was stressful, but I got there. I worked really hard to get there. It was exciting. You just knew all the work you put in was so worth it. I was really close last year. That was a bummer, but I was excited for Colleen, too.” Colleen, who is younger by eight minutes, said Kendall’s sixth-place finish last Saturday was “awesome.” “I’m glad she finally got that opportunity as well,” Colleen said. “It’s exciting to be on the journey together. I wouldn’t be able to do it without her.” Kendall ran a 12.65 in Friday’s prelims, which was just off the personal-best time of 12.44 she ran in the district prelims. “It was definitely a relief to get into the finals,” Kendall said. “You just knew everything you worked so hard for got you to the final day of the final meet of the year. You couldn’t go any farther.” The 100 dash, obviously, gets over pretty fast, so runners can have a difficult time recalling every nuance of the race.

Kendall’s finals time of 14.66 was the third time she’s run that time this season. “I just wanted to PR,” she said. “I wanted to place top eight. I think I had a pretty decent start. Towards the end I passed a girl or two. My finish was definitely better. I would say it was one of my smoother races. It happens so fast, it’s hard to remember everything. I was tense at regionals and I was more relaxed at state. Just knowing you got to state was relaxing.”

Gibsonburg coach Glenn Owens said Kendall “did great.” “Overall, she ran well in the prelims and the finals,” he said. “It was a huge thing for her to get on the podium for the first time.” Colleen, who clocked in at 57.64 in Friday’s prelims, said she felt some pressure to repeat as state champion in the 400 and it was difficult to relax. “I wanted to (win) it again, and I put

pressure on myself,” she said. “I trained hard to get there and it was disappointing to not get it. I like the outer lanes. I was in lane 4. Last year I was in lane 6. It was a little bit on my mind this year, but I couldn’t control it. It makes me want to work harder for next year. It makes me want to have more fun with it next year.” Reynolds finished in 57.56 after winning the state title in 56.57 last June. How close was Reynolds to placing third instead of fourth last Saturday? Third place finisher Maggie Poorman, a junior from Smithville, finished in 57.559 — one-thousandth of a second ahead of Reynolds. “Colleen didn’t feel that great coming down the front stretch and the other girls caught her,” Owens said. “She was out front like normal; she just tied up a little bit. She was definitely disappointed. She’s been working hard for that all year.” Colleen said she started off strong and passed another runner on the outside early in the race. “I probably should have slowed down and strided out better on the back stretch, to save myself for the finish,” she said. “I gave it everything I had the whole way. I was winning until probably 10-20 meters left, and then three girls caught me at the end. It was disappointing, but I was definitely glad I was able to get back there. It was a big accomplishment to get there again, so I’m not totally sad. It gives me something more to work for next year.” Gibsonburg junior Tyler Hovis competed in the boys’ D-III state meet and finished 16th in the shot put. He fouled on his first attempt, threw 46-4¾ on his second attempt and fouled on his third attempt and was unable to advance to the finals.

Relay team wins state title

Eastwood returns to the top, finishes third at state By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

“

Every time we go to events, (Sabo) tells us that if you give effort, and he can tell, then ‘I'm always going to be proud of you no matter what.’

“

Eastwood boys track is back. After winning the Division II state title in 2009 and 2010 and finishing second in 2008, the Eagles had several “down years” before returning to the elite ranks of Ohio’s track and field programs by finishing third at the state tournament this season. Although you could hardly call them “down years” because they still won league and district team titles during that gap, just nothing at the state level. At Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on the campus of Ohio State University, this year Eastwood finished with 38 points, just behind Dayton Dunbar (47) and Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy (46). The Eagles won a state championship in the 4x400 meter relay, finishing in three minutes, 18.09 seconds. Eastwood teams finished second in the 4x800 and third in the 4x100. Individually, Tim Hoodlebrink was third in the 800 (1:53.88) and Devin Snowden finished fourth in the long jump (21 feet, 8½ inches) and sixth in the 300 hurdles (38.65). Both athletes contributed 24 points apiece to the team. The 4x400, the final event of the day, consisted of Tim Hoodlebrink, Joe Salinas, Brennan Seifert and Snowden, and won in convincing fashion, coming in nearly two seconds ahead of Dunbar. All four members of the state championship relay team are Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Co-Athletes of the Year, joining Genoa state shot put champion Logan Bryer. Eastwood coaches Brian and Nikki Sabo repeat as Co-Coaches of the Year after leading the boys team to a regional title. At state, Gabe Fredericks, Logan Baugher, Noah Smith and Tim Hoodlebrink were part of the Eastwood 4x800 team that finished in 7:55.79 and the quartet of Grant Geiser, Snowden, Seifert and Jake Hoodlebrink made up the 4x100 team. “I think we did great,” said Snowden. “We just performed like we’re capable of

Eastwood state qualfiers Tim Hoodlebrink, Jake Hoodlebrink, Joey Salinas, and Gabe Fredericks. Tim Hoodlebrink and Salinas were on the state champion 4x400 relay team, joining Brennan Seifert and Devin Snowden. (Press file photo by Scott Grau) doing. As long as we give our best effort, the points will fall where they should. It feels great because you can share the feeling with three other guys. I was satisfied with long jump and the 300 hurdles and I was satisfied to get my team points and help them out. It’s an honor when you put on the track uniform because you get to carry on the tradition that has been there for so many years.” Winning the 4x400 was the first state title in that event for Eastwood. “Coach (Brian) Sabo just came up to us and said, ‘We have a chance to make history,” Snowden said. “We could be the first team in school history to win the 4x400 and he told us that the best place that they’d gotten before was second in 2003. That gave us the motivation to run to the

best of our ability.” Tim Hoodlebrink, who put the team in second until he handed the baton to Salinas, added, “Our coach usually says that the first guys are important because you want to make the anchor feel comfortable. I started off and hoped I’d run fast enough that they can get a boost off my energy. And when we got the baton to Devin, we were about 20 meters ahead.” The Eastwood athletes said that thirdyear coach Brian Sabo doesn’t put too much pressure on them by expecting them to finish in certain places, Instead, he measures them on their effort. “Every time we go to events, (Sabo) tells us that if you give effort, and he can tell, then ‘I’m always going to be proud of you no matter what,’” Hoodlebrink said.

“Last year, when I was running the 800, he told me that I was young and I had nothing to lose, so that helped me relax and I did what I could.” It’s helped Snowden, too. “It’s great because (Sabo) is obviously not putting the pressure on us to do something spectacular,” Snowden said. “He tells us to do the best we can and whatever happens, happens.” It was another banner year for the Eagles, who won their 14th consecutive Northern Buckeye Conference title, multiple invitational meets, and were district and regional champions, most of which came in convincing fashion. There’s a strong possibility next season could be just as successful, assuming Eastwood replaces its seniors. The team will lose one runner from each of its three relay teams. Snowden and Tim Hoodlebrink, who scored a combined 14 points in their individual events, could fare even better next time around. “This gives us a lot of hope that we can repeat what we did and improve on it more because we only have to replace a few guys,” Snowden said. “It gives us motivation to work hard and hopefully get some guys in there to replace them.”

Bedford to fight at AT&T Center By Alex Post and Mark Griffin sports@presspublications.com Johnny “Brutal” Bedford is a Woodmore graduate who previously resided in Woodville. Since his graduation in 2001, Bedford signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He was a competitor on Spike TV’s “The Ultimate Fighter: Team Bisping vs. Team Miller.” Additionally, he currently owns the gym Fitness Fight Factory in Fort Worth, Texas. His next fight is scheduled for June 28 at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. He is scheduled to fight Rani Yahya. Bedford flew to Las Vegas to try out for the season 14 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” a Spike TV reality show that aired on Wednesday nights. Bedford, like the rest of the contestants, had to fight his way onto the show. He won his fight, and suddenly he was on reality TV. “Thirty-two guys went to Las Vegas and the first episode showed 16 fights,” Bedford said. “The 16 losers went home and the 16 winners got to move into a house in Vegas.” Bedford said being on “The Ultimate Fighter” proved to be more than he expected. On the show, two MMA coaches picked their eight-man teams and Bedford was chosen by Jason “Mayhem” Miller, the host of MTV’s “Bully Beatdown.” The other coach is Michael Bisbin. “They want drama, obviously,” he said. “You’re in a house with 16 guys and they’re your competition. The coaches picked teams – there are four guys in my weight class on my team and four guys on the other team...Team Bisbin took the first overall pick, and that gave Team Miller the chance to pick the first fight. I went second overall.” Bedford participated in high school wrestling when he attended Woodmore and was extraordinarily successful because he started wrestling at 5-years-old. He was a three-time state qualifier and his high school record ended at 51-1. “Woodmore was great; it teaches you hard work and humility,” said Bedford. “I love where I came from.” After high school, Bedford went on to wrestle for Cleveland State University.

That only lasted a year and a half, however, and he moved on. In the mid-1990s, he realized that he wanted to be an Ultimate Fighter. In 2003, Bedford got involved in mixed martial arts and started fighting as an amateur. He won all six of his bouts and got discovered by a promoter. “I was having success, winning fights and making money,” Bedford told The Press. “It’s a lot better than getting a real job, a 9-to-5 job. And, you can compete. I compete for a living now. I enjoy competition, and to be able to make a living at something you love to do, to come in and compete, I’m really blessed to have that.” When he fights he thinks of the winnings with a very interesting perspective. The other competitor is trying to take his money, so he has to do whatever he can to protect it. When Bedford first began his career, he was paid only about $200 a fight, which to him now is laughable. Due to the low payout, he had to fight as much as he could. After months and months of this hard life, Bedford was offered a job in Texas as the head trainer at a gym. Soon, the UFC called him to Las Vegas, Nevada, and there he was given the opportunity to fight in the UFC. Bedford’s aspirations have truly been accomplished. He loves owning a gym and fighting. He even has his own website (www.BrutalJohnnyBedford.com). “I am very blessed to do what I do for a living,” said Bedford. “I train 4-year-old boys to 70-year-old women and get to share my passion with them.” Bedford enjoys UFC because it is a one dimensional sport and only one guy wins. Bedford’s inspiration in his life is actually his family. He has been married to wife Melody, a 2002 Woodmore graduate, for eight years and has a 7 year-old son and a 2 year-old daughter. “Melody is super supportive,” Bedford said. “She’s been nothing but great. I mean, we moved across the country so I could train in Texas.” (Alex Post is a student-writer for Woodmore student publication Window To Woodmore.

Now Enrolling for 201 -1 Nursery - 6th grade

Radio personality Jim “Brady” Felton – aka Jim Brady, Mark Richards, Scott Brady and Chuck Brady, died June 5 after a fiveyear battle with cancer. He was 67.

People Felton (real name) was born in Toledo, Aug. 21, 1946. While still a student at Devilbiss High School, he saw longtime Toledo DJ Fred Mitchell doing a remote radio broadcast from a furniture store. Felton asked, “You can make a living doing this?” Mitchell responded, “Yeah, you can do alright.” From that point forward a radio broadcasting career was born. In 1963, Felton started working in radio at the former WTOL Radio, now WCWA, while still in high school. In January 1967, he moved to Ft. Wayne, Indiana to work at WLYV. A year later he found himself at CKLW, The Big-8 in Windsor, Ontario as Mark Richards, where he had the honor of meeting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Subsequently, Felton returned to WCWA to work as the morning air personality, and his career took him to Montreal, Louisville, Toronto, Los Angeles and Dallas-Fort Worth before returning to Toledo in 1996, where he worked at WRVF, WCWA, and WRQN. He retired from radio June 30, 2008 from WRQN. In his retirement he remained active, co-authoring a novel, “Death on the Dial,” about a radio murder. He also sold real estate and he did freelance voice work. Jim “Brady” Felton’s final wish is that everyone see his or her doctor and get a check-up. He did not have his first colonoscopy until he was 62-years old, and it was at that time his cancer was discovered.

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.
