Power plant

Air permit expected this month Developers of a planned natural gasfired electric power plant to be built in the City of Oregon anticipate approval this month of a final air emissions permit by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and a start to the construction of the $860 million project by the spring of next year. William Siderewicz, a managing partner of North America Project Development, said Wednesday he expects the EPA to issue the air permit “within the next week or two.” There is a one-month appeal period to contest the air permit – the last of the major regulatory permits needed for the project, he said, but to date no one has contested the project during public hearings. NAPD is building the 800-megawattt plant through a subsidiary, Oregon Clean Energy, LLC. Siderewicz and William Martin, also a managing partner with the development firm, said they plan to complete requests for proposals by the end of this month for

the hiring of firms to handle the engineering, procurement and construction phases of the project. Martin said Oregon Clean Energy is committed to hiring local contractors and union labor to build the plant, which will be located on a 30-acre parcel on N. Lallendorf Road. Oregon Clean Energy has an option on an adjoining parcel if there is a need to expand the plant in the future, he said. A construction schedule of 32-34 months is likely, Siderewicz said, adding it will require 475 to 525 workers and about 1.5 million worker hours.

“Everything we need for an energy project is right here,” Martin said of the local pool of skilled workers. The plan is to have the plant operating by May 2017. Energy Investors Funds, a private equity firm, is providing about 40 percent of the financing for construction costs and the balance will be covered by loans from commercial banks, Government funding won’t be involved in the project, Martin said. He and Siderewicz plan to retain an advisory firm by next month to assist in the structuring of loans. A preliminary analysis of the electrical market by NTE Solutions indicates the plant will have no trouble finding demand for the power it produces, Siderewicz said. He and Martin intend to meet in the next few weeks with PJM, the regional transmission organization responsible for coordinating the movement of wholesale electricity over all or parts of 13 states that is conducting a technical analysis of the plant’s connection to the local grid. The analysis is due to be completed by Sep-

Toledo’s District 3 city councilman Mike Craig and councilman and mayoral candidate Joe McNamara discussed their outrage at the Mayor Michael Bell administration for the city’s demolition of the Ravine Park pool. Craig said he found out about the demolition, which was already underway, on Wednesday from photos posted on the East Toledo Historical Society’s Facebook page. East Toledo leaders believe the razing began Monday. “There are walls down, there are pieces of cement literally down and it’s just the pool part of it right now. They are going to work their way up to the rest, I imagine,” said Jodi Gross, East Toledo Family Center community builder and spokesperson for One Voice for East Toledo. McNamara and Craig hosted a press conference Thursday morning at the corner of Dearborn Avenue and Colorado Street in East Toledo. “The lack of communication from the administration is not acceptable. At the very least there should have been a community meeting and advanced notice to the district councilman before any demolition occurred,” Craig said, McNamara, who will run against Bell in the next election, said, “Mayor Bell should be fighting for community anchors in Toledo, not tearing them down. This decision shows a complete disregard for local members of the community and a lack of vision for strong neighborhoods.” Andrea Martin, leader of Block Watch 410G (Garfield neighborhood), co-chair of One Voice’s housing and economic development committee, and an East Toledo Family Center trustee, says she believed that demolition of Ravine Park pool was supposed to be put on hold for further exploration. “Our councilman was not informed of this through official channels. He was informed of this via Facebook last night. It is a slap in the face from the current admin-

Damschroder bill puts limits on drones By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A bill limiting the use of drones by law enforcement agencies was introduced Wednesday in the Ohio House of Representatives by Rex Damschroder (R-Fremont). House Bill 207 was introduced in response to law enforcement agencies seeking to purchase and use unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly referred to as drones, he said. “As this technology continues to become more prevalent, the state of Ohio must be vigilant in seeing that drones are used only in circumstances that specifically pro-

Continued from front page tember or October but preliminary results show that a planned 28-mile power line project between Perkins Township in Erie County and Sandusky Township in Sandusky County may impact the timing of the OCEC plant connecting and selling all of its power onto the grid. “We may have to divert around it,” Siderewicz said. Yet to be decided is what type of turbines will be installed at the plant. Martin and Siderewicz have narrowed the choice down to two manufacturers, Mitsubishi and Siemens, which have factories in South Carolina and North Carolina respectively. The Oregon plant will have two turbines, which Siderewicz likened to “two giant jet engines.” The turbines and related equipment represent about $200 million of the plant’s cost. Mitsubishi and Siemens have both offered to lend about $30 million to the developers for building the new plant. The plant’s cooling tower will require about 3.5 million gallons of untreated water daily from Lake Erie and will dissipate about 85 percent of that into the atmosphere during the cooling process. The rest will be piped to the city’s wastewater treatment plant. Once operating, the plant will employ about 26 persons and have an annual payroll of $3 million. Salaries will range between $65,000 and $130,000. The plant will be buying about $1.1 million in water and sewer services annually from the city and pay about $1 million in property taxes. Mike Beazley, city administrator, said an abatement package will be offered but details haven’t been completed.

Fundraiser

Will gun raffle replace annual ox roast? Over the years, the Millbury Fireman’s Association has held an array of activities, including an annual ox roast, to raise funds to purchase equipment for the Lake Township Volunteer Fire Department - portable radios, air packs, stabilizer jacks, gloves and more – even a safety trailer the department uses for educational programs. Last year, the association decided to not host the ox roast, a tradition in Millbury for nearly 40 years, citing high up-front costs for permits, licenses, and food as well as a decline in the association’s membership. This year, the association is trying to raise funds by holding a raffle of a Bushmaster .223 caliber tactical rifle equipped with a Sig Sauer prismatic scope and 500 rounds of ammunition. Capt. John Castellanos said ticket sales have been brisk, with the association selling about 300 out of a total of 1,000 in the first week. Ticket sales end Sept. 1. He acknowledges the choice of prize might raise more than a few eyebrows. “Some people equate it to an M16 or AK47 and it’s not. This is a semi-automatic rifle. One pull on the trigger, one bullet,” Castellanos said. “Farmers are big users of these rifles. We’re interested in getting an item out there that people would want right now.” A rifle is not a suitable raffle prize for some people who’ve told Castellanos they won’t buy a raffle ticket but will still donate to the association. And the recent sharp increase in price and scarcity of many types of ammunition prompted one man to jokingly tell Castellanos when he purchased a ticket that he might sell the rifle and keep the ammunition if he won. The winner must pass a federal background check, which will be conducted through R&D Collectibles, a Lake Township gun dealer where the rifle and ammunition were purchased. The idea for raffling off a rifle was discussed when members of the association looked around at what other organizations were doing, Castellanos said, and noticed many were getting away from more traditional fundraisers. “It used to be feather parties, or Monte Carlo night, reverse raffles, and bingo. Now the regulations just for operating a bingo parlor are so restrictive,” he said. “And it’s hard to get people involved because of work schedules. Volunteer fire departments are smaller now than they’ve ever been. It takes so much to train and be qualified. There were not enough people to volunteer for the ox roast to make it run as well as it should.” The Woodville Township Volunteer Fire Department held its third annual gun raffle on March 31 at Ole Zim’s Wagon

Shed. Prizes included a Remington 1911 pistol, Glock Generation 4 pistol, Henry Goldenboy .22 caliber magnum rifle, a Browning .20 gauge shotgun, a crossbow, as well as other pistols and hunting equipment. Proceeds from the raffles have been used to buy equipment for the fire department; rescue tools, thermal imaging cameras, and a 60-inch flat screen television that is used for training programs received over the Internet.

The Lucas County board of commissioners, county engineer Keith Early, representatives from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and representatives from Meinke Marina and Anchor Point Marina will gather at Cooley Canal in Jerusalem Township this week to announce the completion of a $300,000 dredging project. Lucas County secured a Recreational Harbor Evaluation Program Grant offered annually by the ODNR to complete the work. Cooley Canal, a tributary of Lake Erie in Jerusalem Township for which Lucas County maintains a public access ramp, had developed a build-up of sediment over recent years making the canal impassable and affecting thousands of boaters and sportsmen. The grant provided funds to dredge the canal, once again allowing boaters to more easily navigate its waters. “The Cooley Canal project shows that a small investment in economic development can have big affects. Now, thousands of boaters will be able to enjoy Lake Erie this summer, adding millions of dollars a year to Lucas County’s economy,” said Lucas County Commissioner Tina Skeldon Wozniak. “One of the great things about this project is that we were able to fully fund it through state grant dollars. Lucas County is continuing to look at all options to spur economic growth and investment into our community.”

was a “very good success” but declined to state how much money was raised. “People were lined up out the door and we could have sold more tickets,” he said. The raffle included dinner. Heineman said he didn’t hear of any negative comments about guns being the prizes. “There may be some anti-gun people out there but we drew a lot of outdoors people and hunters,” he said. “We’ve even had some women enter for a chance to win free gun training sessions.” Winners had to pass a background check and had to be at least 18 to win a rifle or shotgun and 21 to win a hand gun. The department continues to hold pancake breakfast fundraisers during the winter months, Heineman said. Castellanos said the Millbury Fire Association scheduled its raffle to avoid conflicting with a raffle by the new Sportsman’s Club on Woodville Road in Millbury held on Father’s Day. A Colt M-4 custom carbine and a Colt AR22 M4 rifle were being raffled by the club. A background check is required for the winner, according to the club’s website.

9 submit resumes for Oregon superintendent

Biggest Week in American Birding: 2013 by The Numbers

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Nine people submitted applications for the position of superintendent in the Oregon City Schools District by the June 7 deadline. Dr. Lonny Rivera, principal of the Wayne Trace Intermediate School in the Maumee City Schools District, and John M. Schloegl, director of operations, Kids Unlimited Academy, were the only candidates who live in Oregon. The other candidates are: â&#x20AC;˘ Mark Hartman, retired as superintendent of Antwerp Local Schools; â&#x20AC;˘ Bruce Kidder, superintendent Frontier Local Schools; â&#x20AC;˘ Curtis Clough, superintendent Franklin Local Schools; â&#x20AC;˘ Dr. Deborah A. Piotrowski, superintendent Xenia Community Schools; â&#x20AC;˘ Dr. Michael D. Sander, superintendent Massie Local Schools; â&#x20AC;˘ Dr. Thomas D. Gay, national/international education consultant, Faircloth and Forsythe and The Quality Schools Group, Wilmington, DE; â&#x20AC;˘ Mark A. Fenik, Middle School principal, Bloom-Carroll Local Schools. Two finalists Board President P.J. Kapfhammer said the list will be cut to four candidates at a special board meeting scheduled for June 13. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go into executive session to name the top four candidates. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll interview them, eliminate two and then look at the final two candidates,â&#x20AC;? said Kapfhammer. Rivera and Schloegl, he added, should be among the final four candidates because they live in Oregon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my opinion, Schloegl and Rivera should be considered among the final four because they are local and have roots in the community. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important, as a board, that we bring someone in who has connections in Oregon, who wants to be here, not for a job, but who wants to live here because they love Oregon,â&#x20AC;? said Kapfhammer. He emphasized that residency is, legally, not required for the position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re local, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a big bonus for me,â&#x20AC;? he said. Choosing a new superintendent will be decided by a unanimous vote, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope that by interviewing these candidates, we come to a unanimous decision who should be the next leader of the Oregon City Schools District. That will make our decision when to move forward easier. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to a unanimous decision, then that will change how long it will take us to find a qualified candidate. We need to move quickly, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to decide just for the sake of moving forward. It should be a slam dunk. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not someone who we believe is the best candidate for the Oregon City Schools District, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue the process until we find the best person,â&#x20AC;? said Kapfhammer. The school board last month approved the resignation of Superintendent Dr. Michael Zalar, who is leaving to become superintendent of the North Olmsted City Schools District in North Olmsted, Ohio. The North Olmsted school board approved a three year contract with Zalar.

Woodmore graduate begins Mississippi adventure By Karli Keaton and J. Patrick Eaken news@presspublications.com

“

If you are a dreamer and want to be a part of a great American adventure, this is for you.

“

On June 8, Woodmore High School graduate Madelyn Hille, 23, began her canoe trip down the entire 2,500 miles of the Mississippi River. She is joined by a partner, Adam Hoffmeister, 25. Together, they are canoeing the headwaters at Itasca State Park in Minnesota until they reach the Gulf of Mexico in New Orleans. Hille and Hoffmeister have been together for three years. They both share a love for adventure and traveling. “We have the chance to live like Mark Twain and Jack Kerouac rather than just reading about their adventures in books,” said Hille. They chose to travel down the Mississippi River because it is specifically in the heart of the Midwest. Hille, an aspiring photojournalist, will be documenting the trip. She plans to portray the youth of America and how today’s youth choose to live their lives. During this trip, Hille plans on beginning her first photography journal of all the new sights she will encounter. She is giving the journal the title, Capturing the Mississippi. Everyone has an opportunity to view pictures of Hille’s journey by visiting kickstarter.com. This website will include the many pictures that may later be published in the journal. Hille said the trip is about her experience as much as for those reading her journal. “There’s something amazing about not knowing where you’re going to sleep at night,” said Hille. “I never plan to stop traveling, and I feel as though traveling helps me to grow as a person and helps me get to know myself better.” The idea came to her when she was with friends passing conversation. “You know one of those long summer nights when laughs are easy, the company’s fantastic, and every idea is a good idea? It came from there. We had actually set the date for 2012 but had a great opportunity we couldn’t possible pass up, so we pushed the due date back to 2013 and here we are. We’ve been planning this trip for nearly two years, and we’re finally ready,” Hille said.

Woodmore grad Madelyn Hille. “The biggest risk of this trip is the weather. We have been following The Farmer’s Almanac for 2013, but as we all know Mother Nature is never truly predictable. If there is a large rainstorm, we will seek shelter for a those days then resume paddling ASAP. Even in that event you can be sure we will document it all for CTM,” Hille says. “Another possible challenge is if either of us was to get sick or injured during our trip. In the event that happens we would return home and publish CTM nonetheless but rework the formatting.” Even though Hille and Hoffmeister are taking on the Mississippi River without any help, others may join their progress online. “I know what you’re thinking, and the answer is yes — we would love for you to come along with us,” wrote Hille on her blog. “But, we know you all have personal obligations and those pesky commitments, but never fear — this is where the really cool part starts.”

Gone for 72 days… Hille has already calculated how long the trip should take. “We created an elaborate equation, calculating wind speed, rain fall, and paddling variation, etc. (”just kidding,” she adds about paddling)…and came up with August 17th. The average length we’ve calculated is 72 days for a trip from the headwaters of the Mississippi to the Gulf,” Hille says. She says the bulk of funds raised on Kickstarter is going towards producing the photo book Capturing the Mississippi, or “CTM.” Any excess will go towards food and toiletry costs during the trip and travel expenses to get from Indianapolis to Minnesota and from New Orleans back to Indianapolis. “At the end of each day I will pick a photo that best sums up that day’s events, whether that is an amazing sunrise over Memphis, meeting some awesome people

at the local pub, stumbling upon a summer festival, or getting lost in the never ending forest of weeds and hydro plants. At the end of the trip I will compile these photos into one photo book and it will tell the complete story of our trip, and you get to be right there with us,” Hille writes. According to kickstarter.com, which is set up for fundraising projects, Hille has 46 backers and on June 2 reached her $3,000 goal, raising $3,336. The finished journal should bring even more attention. “Because we don’t know the exact number of days the trip will take us, Capturing the Mississippi will be somewhere between 50 to 100 pages. The average length of this trip is around 70 days so that means the book would be 70 pages. Since we plan on finishing our trip in mid-August, you should plan on receiving your copy of CTM and other prizes in November. “We have set up some awesome prizes in addition to a deluxe signed copy of Capturing the Mississippi. Some of those include high quality prints, post cards sent by us during our trip’s duration, an e-book of CTM, and many more.” To read her blog on kickstarter.com, type in “Madelyn Hille.” There is also video of the trip already downloaded on the website. “If you are a dreamer and want to be a part of a great American adventure, this is for you. This photo book and trip are a celebration of youth, freedom, wanderlust, and making dreams come true. We are at that amazing time in our life when the entire world lies before us, and we want to live this moment to its fullest and document it for all to remember,” Hille says. “Don’t you want to make the dreams of these crazy kids happen? It’s easy to just let your dreams pass you by in the current of life (pun intended), but this is our chance to fulfill this adventure and for you to be part of it through the art of photography. So put that life jacket on and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime. This is going to be an amazing trip and we cannot do it without you.” (This article by Woodmore graduate Karli Keaton is reprinted with permission from the student publication Woodmore To Window with updates from Kickstarter.com provided by The Press).

Ravine Park pool Continued from front page istration to the east side residents,” Gross wrote in an email to community leaders involved in One Voice. “We can’t undo the damage, but we can call them out on it and hold them accountable. “All of the surveys recently conducted through the neighborhoods show strong support for repairing and reopening that pool. This is just one more way that the city has chosen to ignore our needs and quality of life concerns in East Toledo. One very important question is, ‘What will be put there in place of the pool if it is torn down?’ East Toledo deserves some type of recreation facility.” Martin wants others to know “that we are not just a bunch of whining east siders.” She was referring to comments about the press conference posted on Facebook. “While many comments talked about needing security and the pool became a ‘babysitter’ for some parents, most of the comments were positive to our cause,” Martin said. Others attending the news conference were representatives from NeighborWorks, Main Street businessmen, and Garfield neighborhood residents. Gross helped organize the press conference, which gained traction from social media and emails. She would have liked to see even more show up, but there was less than a few hours notice Thursday morning. According to levy promoters, Toledo voters had a chance to save the pools in the November 2012 election. They turned

Levy promoter Josh Thurston had said that if Issue 5 had passed, it would bring the City of Toledo in line with surrounding communities by having a separate fund for parks and recreation. The levy would have generated $3 million a year for 10 years. Thurston said the levy would have cost the average homeowner $20 a year. Craig said no effort is being made to put the levy back on the ballot. “When we did the surveys, we asked people, ‘If we can’t do tax levies, what else can we do?’ But people weren’t opposed to tax levies. They just said that we needed to see some type of recreation facility for our neighborhood,” Gross said. “Even in Garfield, 90 percent of the people that we interviewed from that survey said they would like to see the pool opened or something there.

ing part of this — what is going to be next? What are your ideas? Is it going to be an empty field again?” Mayor Bell’s public information officer, Jennifer Sorgenfrei, responded to the criticism of the administration by email. “This community conversation actually began at the June 19, 2012 meeting of council with the planned demolition of Highland Park,” Sorgenfrei stated. “The media further covered it on July 9, 10, 12, and 13th by detailing the administration’s plans to demolish Highland, Ashley, Ravine Park and Collins Park pools. “The city lacks funding to make the extensive repairs necessary due to age, deterioration and vandalism, and the pools as a result are a safety hazard and a neighborhood nuisance that encourages loitering and vandalism.

them to continue to deteriorate another six years and further impact and drag down the neighborhoods.” The pools have been closed since 2007. Navarre Park pool in East Toledo remains open. “The administration continues to ensure that city pools are made available in each council district in Toledo, including Councilman Craig’s district,” Sorgenfrei said. City pools this year will open on June 24. The aquatic facilities available this year include Navarre pool; Roosevelt pool; Jamie Farr Park pool; Pickford pool; Wilson pool; Willys Park pool, and the Savage Splash Pad.

Ottawa County

New state sales tax becoming touchy issue Ottawa County’s rookie commissioner said she did not stray from an Ohio Democratic Party stand when she voted for a permanent sales tax earlier this year. That quarter percent sales tax is set to go into effect in the county on July 1 and it doesn’t appear it will be knocked down by sales tax reform proposed by Gov. John Kasich. The proposal would have broadened the base of the state sales tax while cutting back percentages on local sales taxes allowed for three years. Jo Ellen Regal joined the three-member board of commissioners in January after defeating incumbent Mark Stahl of Allen Township. Less than two months later, she and her peers Jim Sass, a Democrat, and lone Republican Steve Arndt voted on a motion for a permanent quarter percent sales tax. Regal and Sass voted yes. Arndt voted no. Arndt’s vote was a turnaround from a vote taken nearly two and half years earlier when he, Sass and Stahl all voted to approve a temporary quarter percent tax to help bolster county coffers in a weak economy. The additional tax, which brings the county and state sales tax to a combined 6.75 percent, has brought in about $3 million over the course of its life. But when the sales tax vote came back to the board this time around, Arndt said he had a key motive behind his thumbs down vote. “The sales tax became a campaign issue,” said Arndt, who defeated Democrat John Huffman in the November 2012 election. The contention, he said, was that the commissioners held the required public hearings and then voted for the tax instead of putting the sales tax question before voters on the ballot. “I think we should have taken it to the people,” Arndt said. In addition, the switch from a temporary tax to a permanent tax was never discussed among commissioners in depth prior to the motion being made, he said. He also argued that the 2013 county budget was put together based on the possibility that the quarter percent sales tax revenues might not come through. And the governor’s plan also intended to produce revenue of at least 10 percent over the prior year beginning with the December 2013 distribution to allow counties to cope with the changes, Arndt said. The sales tax question also got some ink in the campaign waged between Regal and Stahl. Several flyers mailed to constituents

by the Ohio Democratic Party condemned Stahl for supporting the sales tax without representation. One flyer shows a partial view of a man with his finger plugging his ear. The quote next to it reads “Mark Stahl raised your taxes and didn’t even ask you about it. Another flyer shows a dramatic close up of Stahl. Next to it in bold words it states: “Mark Stahl raised your taxes without asking your opinion. That is not right! Having three meetings at the Courthouse and then deciding to raise the sales tax isn’t leadership. Stahl is unaccountable and unacceptable. Mark Stahl is not listening to you. A million dollar tax hike without public approval? We can do better!” Despite those statements made by the Ohio Democratic Party, Regal stands by her affirmation on the sales tax vote. Those statements were made by the Ohio Democratic Party and she was not consulted on the campaign literature, Regal said. “I did not know what was going to be on the card,” she said. “In my campaign, it was not an issue,” said Regal, who served as county auditor prior to the run for commissioner. “I had supported what they had done.” Chris Redfern of Catawba Island is the Ohio Democratic Party chairman. He notes that the party sent out nearly 20 million pieces of literature for local races to the presidency across the state during the 2012 campaigns. The literature was sent out on behalf of candidates but not necessarily at their direction, Redfern said. That is, candidates were not always consulted regarding every piece of literature or campaign issue sent out on their behalf, he explained. The Democratic Party took the stance on the sales tax issue because the former board of commissioners had plenty of time to review the temporary tax three years ago and had an opportunity to take the issue to the vote. Conditions surrounding the February vote were much more complex, Redfern

said. “These commissioners did not know that Governor Kasich was going to retreat from his stance on sales tax,” Redfern said. “ … The state has cut the local government budget significantly. They responded immediately on how to proceed in what was the county’s best interest. Oddly enough, they were put in that position when the state began stripping away billions of dollars in local government funding.” At the time, holding off on a vote was a risk the county could not take, Regal insisted. In fact, the newest commissioner considers the re-examination of the sales tax for renewal or permanent status had been put off too long. “I thought it needed to be looked at sooner,” she said, noting discussions should have been under way with the former board in 2012. That jumpstart would have quelled anxiety regarding the sales tax as the governor and others began pitching sales tax reform. The governor’s budget takes effect July 1 – the same date as the permanent sales tax begins. County officials worry that conflict jeopardizes their sales tax implementation. “It appears that the sales tax will be going through,” Prosecutor Mark Mulligan said in a May interview. He based that on the fact that no one had filed a referendum with the county board of elections to challenge the county sales tax and that sales tax reform at the state level is faltering. The financial situation also pushed him to resume his personal campaign to get raises for courthouse employees who have go without them for five years. Redfern suggests that the Republicans using the “campaign issue tactic” regarding the sales tax now is just sour grapes over Stahl’s lost re-election bid. It wasn’t the sales tax implementation that had an impact on the election turnout but misuse of county property, Redfern said. “Mark Stahl used county resources in his personal business,” the chairman said, pointing to a lawsuit alleging the same. Diversified Insurance Service LLC of Elmore sued Stahl and Lowe Insurance Services on Sept. 25, claiming Stahl conducted personal business for Lowe from his county office and that his wife had taken trade secrets when she left Diversified. A jury will hear the details in 2014. But in recent months, Stahl, who claimed he had been maligned in campaign literature sent out by the Ohio Democratic Party addressing the claim, dropped his complaint. Why? Simple, Redfern said. “He knows he’s guilty.”

Closure begins on major route into Port Clinton A main corridor into Port Clinton closes Monday for construction and remains closed until August. Work on Fremont Road, which begins just after the State Route 53/State Route 2 exchange south of Port Clinton and runs to the city limits, is expected to last about 45 days, according to the county engineer’s office. The section of road is under county jurisdiction. County officials last week posted a pending road closure sign. “It is closed in name only. There will be some travel allowed through there — local residents getting to their homes and some other traffic. But we have to keep it to an absolute minimum. There are going to be flaggers but there are going to be delays. We just can’t put everybody through there or the crews would be stopping every 14 seconds,” Ottawa County Engineer Dave Brunkhorst said.

“We don’t need everybody and their brother thinking they can sneak into town that way.” The bulk of traffic will be guided through the construction via detours on Route 2. One detour enters Port Clinton on the west from Lakeshore Drive and the other comes in on Perry Street on the east end of town. There is also the option of taking Wilcox Road, the utility road that runs parallel to Route 2 and comes into Port Clinton

Walbridge hosting Pub Crawl fundraiser The Walbridge Centennial Committee, Inc., is planning a Pub Crawl Saturday, June 29. Funds raised from the event will go toward July 4 festivities being planned at Loop Park.

In addition to dining, there will be face painting, music and 50/50 raffles throughout the evening. Participants can register for the Pub Crawl at the Walbridge Night Club between

7:30 and 8:30 p.m. ($5 fee). Subsequent establishments on the crawl include Three Cheers (9:30-11 p.m.) and Nick & Nancy’s Tap Room (11 p.m.-1 a.m.). Each bar will have drink specials along with different tournaments and games, including corn hole, shuffleboard, pool, darts, lawn Jenga and more. Pub Crawl participants are urged to bring a designated driver. Food will be available at bars later in the evening.

the back way via Fulton Street. Drivers can turn onto Wilcox Road just south of the 53/2 exchange. Port Clinton is the county seat of Ottawa County and a lot of people travel there to conduct business on a daily basis. Plus, there is the added congestion from the heavy tourist traffic during the summer months to consider The traffic situation is going to be messy for a while but it’s necessary, the engineer said. The 45 days closure is the best estimate of time needed to complete the job. “We have a bit of a buffer built in,” Brunkhorst said.” We are expecting rain two or three days this week. If that keeps happening, it could cause some delay in completion,” he explained. The county commissioners hired Precision Paving to do the job for $442,108. The Fremont Road safety and improvement project has been in the planning stages for more than a year and half. Work on the two-lane stretch includes milling down the present pavement, repaving the road surface and upgrading the drainage. After work is ended, there will also be a noticeable difference in the shoulder paving. At present there is only a small shoulder section. A larger paved shoulder will help improve safety issues along the main thoroughfare, Brunkhorst explained when the project was in its infancy stages. That addition will help combat safety problems created when garbage trucks, semi-trucks and other large vehicles pull over to the side of the road. The project is being paid for through an Ohio Public Works Fund and a matching sum from the county.

Your Voice on the Street: by Stephanie Szozda

The Press Poll

What is something that is on your bucket list?

The government wants to drop the blood alcohol limit for being legally drunk in order to avoid drunk driving fatalities. The limit would go from .08 to .05. Do you agree? Yes, it will make the roads safer. No, strictly enforce the current laws. Ann James Fostoria “To celebrate 50 years with my husband.”

Chris Ferrara Millbury “I want to go back to Daytona International Speedway and drive a race car at 200 mph around the track.”

Poor examples To the editor: On Sunday, June 9, I attended my very first outdoor commencement ceremony at Clay High School. My oldest son was graduating from high school and four members of his family were proudly seated in the stadium, along with many other graduates’ families and friends. The seniors had been given a letter at their practice informing them and their families about the privilege of participating in this ceremony, which dates back to medieval times. The letter also stated that it was traditionally a solemn ceremony, and that day’s ceremony should also be treated with the same dignity. I would like to thank the staff of Clay High School for allowing Andrew English to deliver such a heartfelt and inspiring invocation. I also enjoyed the speeches given my Miss Dorring, the valedictorian; Miss Le, the salutatorian and Miss Pelfrey. Their speeches told of their achievements, their struggles and their hopes for the future of their class. From the statistics that were read, this class has many who are aspiring to greater things. Let me say, though, that I hope the class of 2013 shows more respect in the years to come than their friends and families did who were attending in the stadium that day. Prior to handing out the diplomas, everyone was asked to refrain from cheering and clapping until after all the names of the class members had been read. I can understand wanting to cheer and clap for your child’s accomplishments. I was a very proud mom that day because my son had made it and it wasn’t easy for him. However, many chose that day to cheer loud and long, and even blow air horns after certain names were read. For my father

Diane Peatee Perrysburg “To retire from watching my grand kids. They’re great but I’d like to see them grown up.”

sitting in the stands to watch his first grandson receive his diploma, the loud cheering from behind and the air horns made his hearing aids pierce his ears and made him uncomfortable. For my own son, he had to endure a long pause before his name could be read because of an air horn. The applause and cheering were more appropriate at the end for the entire group. Thank you, Clay High School, for guiding the class – your 83rd graduating class – to reach for their goals and strive to achieve them. I hope they also learn to be better examples than some of their friends and family who were there to support them at their high school graduation. Mary Lee Grieshaber Oregon

Lack of concern To the editor: How are residents of Oregon to endure the endless lack of concern for the safety of our children by the Oregon School system? The latest in the misguided attempt to pacify those who have children enrolled in the local schools is to spend $240,000 on sidewalks. Seriously? Of an estimated transportation cost not including driver wages of near $600,000, how are sidewalks the answer? Child safety is the issue they are not addressing, clearly. With the number of child abductions growing every day, do we need one of our loved ones to become one if the missing to realize this is flat wrong? Not to mention good old Northwestern Ohio weather for our children to endure.

Yes, most of us remember having to traverse through all sorts of conditions, nevertheless, regressing is not the answer. Is child safety truly being considered? Why are they not seeking additional bus transportation with this grant money? Somehow, it seems another ploy in wearing down voters to submit to additional levies. Have they exhausted all efforts in finding more visible, safer and cost-effective alternatives for the children of our community? Frank L. Reece Oregon

Support appreciated To the editor: Tiki Warriors Relay for Life Team from Genoa would like to say thanks to everyone who came out to support us during our fundraisers before and during the 2013 Relay for Life of Ottawa County. Thank you to the people who donated items for our team to sell and to the businesses and organizations who allowed us to fund-raise. Last but not least, we would like to thank the Walgreens Perrysburg DC team members for two fundraisers they did to help our team reach its fundraising goal. Our team raised more than $5,000 for the American Cancer Society to fund research and programs to help cancer patients. So, thank you to all, however, there is no finish line until a cure for all cancers has been found. We are always looking for more team members.

Undeserved recognition To the editor: While wandering through the Ohio Turnpike Wyandot Service Plaza building, I discovered the building’s fairly new dedication plaque. Engraved on the plaque are several names of individuals that the state wished to recognize in their efforts to see through the construction of the new service plaza buildings. This seemed nice and appropriate until I discovered one name on the plaque that most sensible Ohioans wish to forget and most certainly not recognize – Thomas W. Noe. Call me unreasonable, but I believe that it’s just not right to “recognize” a convicted criminal who cost the people of Ohio an estimated $13 million. But that’s just my opinion. Clay Parlette Curtice Editor’s note: Former Gov. Bob Taft appointed Noe to the Ohio Turnpike Commission in 2003.

How much emotional baggage are you trying to carry? You wouldn’t be able to lift a 55 gallon drum filled with water. Although you could easily pick up a cleaning bucket filled with water, you wouldn’t want to hold it for a long time. If you tried, it would feel as if it were getting heavier rather quickly. Holding a cup filled with water is a cinch. Anyone can do it. But how long can you hold it for? The longer it’s held, the heavier it seems. At some point in time, you would need to put it down. Just as a seemingly light object becomes heavier the longer it’s held, so do the burdens you carry around with you on a constant basis. An issue that initially appears minor grows in significance the longer you hold onto it. The weight increases steadily as you clutch onto numerous concerns. You become bogged down even faster with the cumulative mass of your collected burdens. Your stress level rises while your energy and enthusiasm drops. Because the progression is gradual, it’s not readily noticeable until it starts to become overwhelming. Every time you pick up a minor burden it appears to be no big deal. It gets added to your load without much thought. Since the mental weight increases gradually, you adjust to it and incrementally adjust to the growing load. Each issue alone may be relatively insignificant. Even though you may not be consciously aware of its presence, you are still affected subconsciously. Since the weight you are carrying rises so gradually, you accept the increasing burden as normal and tolerable. As such, you don’t readily perceive the incremental additions to your stress level.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden Although you may feel anxious, more irritable, less energetic, and less patient, there is no one obvious culprit you can identify. This fact further compounds your frustration. Over time, you forget exactly why you are carrying many of the burdens. The details fade, leaving behind only emotions or bad feelings. You become weighed down by accumulated mental debris that is no longer identifiable. Worrying makes things worse. It intensifies whatever you are carrying. Worry drains your energy without accomplishing a thing. Worry doesn’t help you in any way. There is not one good reason to accumulate mental issues. It’s a bad habit that needs to be corrected as soon as possible. In order to accomplish this, you must change your approach. Let’s consider an alternative scenario. Each time you pick up a small burden you let it go rather than carrying it. It’s that simple. With this approach your burden never grows. This works because there’s no point dragging problems around with you. Here’s how you deal with new issues. For each, ask yourself the following questions: Does this really matter? If not, let it go. Is this worth my energy? If not, let it go. Do I have any control over the issue? If not, let it go. If yes, take the appropriate action and then let it go.

Also, stop worrying. It’s OK to be concerned and take action when and where appropriate. When you let your burdens drop, it’s easier to release the accompanying worries as well. Constant worrying is deleterious to your mental and physical wellbeing. Furthermore, it causes you to hang onto those very things you should be letting go of. Stay vigilant. Be aware of what you are

picking up. It’s too easy to revert back to your old pattern. As you empty your mental load you’ll feel lighter. You will quickly realize how pointless it is to pick things up in the first place. NOW AVAILABLE: E-mail Bryan at bryan@columnist.com or write him c/o this paper. © 2013 Bryan Golden

Four six packs to consider when you consider fatherhood

Six Pack 1 1) Build a strong nest: Eat, play, work and vacation together. Make family the priority over career. Make amends with family members whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wronged you to stabilize the extended family. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let any beer swilling, macho buddy or sweettalking home-wrecker misguide you. Be a man. 2) Be there: Quality time is no substitute for quantity of time. That means less time at work, less time at the bar and less time with the buds. Be there to observe, ask and answer questions, rough-house, advise, hug, yes--hug, and, above all, to let them know they are important to you. 3) Get physical: Let your children know, by example, you expect them to be active. How good you are is irrelevant. Just do it. Run with them. Lift with them. If all you can do is walk, walk with them. Exercise is critical to healthy living and it fights depression. Sport teaches discipline, teamwork, leadership and how to win and lose. 4) Foster independence: Give children opportunities to make decisions. Advise them of the pros and cons, but if they make a bad decision, let them suffer the consequences. For example, son dings car, son pays. When they leave the nest, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be there to protect them. But, while they live with you, you can help them develop good decision making skills and support them while they make a bad decision. 5) Help them follow their bliss: Many young people choose a job or career for superficial reasons. Encourage your children to dream. Uncommon satisfaction comes from the uncommon effort it takes to follow a career path that engages both mind and heart. 6) Encourage risk-taking: A fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love is unlike a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. A mother loves a child unconditionally. A father gives and withholds affection depending on the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions. This is ingrained in us as a species. Consequently, a child sometimes refuses to take risks for fear of failing and disappointing Dad. Fathers need to encourage risk-taking and celebrate failures as necessary steps to success. Six Pack 2 1) Be money smart: Financial strain is the number one reason families split, but not enough attention is given to managing debt and creating a budget. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to budget, find someone who does and then teach your children. 2) Read: One of the best gifts you can give your children is a love of reading. Read auto manuals, video game handbooks, hiphop magazines. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter. The important thing is to show your children that reading, combined with curiosity, is an indispensable tool for a successful life. 3) Hug a tree: The joys of silence and solitude are found in the woods. Children are bombarded with noise, talk and music. They are seldom alone in the modern world where everything is organized. The woods will let them hear their inner voice and help them become comfortable with being alone. Take them both during the day and at night. They will learn to quiet their

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Everything changes for a man the moment he holds his first-born child. Not only does the state mandate an 18-year financial commitment, but for most fathers there is an unspoken commitment to build a better man than the one he sees in the mirror. Over the years, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shared my take on fatherhood with you in four columns of six tips each. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve called each of these a six pack. At the request of a reader, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a case of those tips. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say I know more about fatherhood than the next guy, so take what you value and ignore the rest. As far as my qualifications, all I can say is all three of my children have jobs, use designated drivers and occasionally take their parental units to a special event. What follows is an abbreviated version of those six packs.

fear of both the unknown and the dark. 4) Establish traditions: In a changing world, children value traditions more than we think. Our traditions include Christmas Eve candlelight service, a trip to Oak Openings on Christmas morning and family dinner at the restaurant of their choice for their birthday. Start your traditions early. They will create memories all of you will cherish. 5) Honor your father: Treat your father like you want to be treated by your children, not by how he treats you. Your children are watching and learning. Most men naturally disagree with and distance themselves from their fathers on their way to becoming their own men. For you, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all in the past now. Let it go. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more important for you to be a father to your children than a son to your father. Forgive the old man and even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like him, your children are learning how to treat you by how they see you treat him. 6) Do housework: Few families can make it today without two incomes. That means if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working out of the home, you need to work in it. There is no such thing as womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all work. Do your share and show your kids your wife is worthy of

the respect of an equal. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t preach, lead by example. Six Pack 3 1) Family first: Family can find you when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lost; support you when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re falling and kick you in the ass when you need it. Do not alienate your strongest allies with rashness, stubbornness or vindictiveness. Cultivate these binds. Your children will benefit. They may even visit you when they leave the nest. 2) Mean what you say: Words have meaning. They hurt. They motivate. They will be remembered. What you say in anger, or in jest, or just to fill the silence may have more meaning than what you intend. You will not know the importance of words you have long-since forgotten until your child parrots them back in adulthood. 3) Keep cool under pressure: You will face difficult times when the answer you seek is not even within your peripheral vision. But, your child will be watching you and he or she will learn how to handle stress by how you handle it. Take a deep breath and make your child proud of you and how you handle adversity. 4) Do it with enthusiasm: Bruce Springsteen sings in Badlands, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t no sin to be glad youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re alive.â&#x20AC;? Be enthusiastic about your work, your hobbies, your relationships. That dark hole of despair can suck in everyone who comes near it. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring your children down. Success comes more to those with a positive outlook than to those afraid of obstacles. 5) Win with grace, lose with grace: The game is the thing. If you win, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rub it in, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat your chest. If you lose, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make excuses, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw a tantrum. If your children learn this lesson in play, in work and in relationships, they will always have teams to play on, employers who will hire them and friends who will support them. 6) Pursue excellence, settle for good enough: It is an innate human trait to pursue excellence, but there are deadlines and commitments that will sap you of your time. Pursue excellence in the things that matter, settle for good enough in the things that matter less and invest the time you save into your kids. Six Pack 4 (For adult children) 1) Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it: As much as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tempted, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give unsolicited advice. If

Research has shown that fathers can have a dramatic impact on society by teaching their children responsibility, discipline, independence, and a quiver of other skills and attitudes that can target success. Unfortunately, fatherhood does not require a license, a degree, or any training. And, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no penalty for doing it poorly. Do the right thing.

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done your job, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard half of what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve told them and heeded a quarter of that.

Unless they askâ&#x20AC;Ś 2) Give them a shoulder to lean on: Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll screw themselves and be screwed. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll lose jobs on their own or through no fault of their own. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be loved and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be left. Be there as you would for a friend. Tell them you know they are hurting and you are there when they want to lean on you. 3) Beware of bail outs: You are not the government. Your days as the family bank are over. Everyone looks for the easy way out. This is human nature. But, by giving or loaning them money when they are in trouble, you deter them from taking the necessary steps to get their finances straight, like taking a job beneath their dignity, or a second job, or selling some possessions, or going without. Choose wisely your bail outs. 4) Maintain traditions: You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to hide Easter eggs anymore, but there is no better way to reconnect with your adult children than to relive the traditions you shared when they were young. 5) Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t judge the S.O.: Maybe your sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s significant other doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a tattoo, a nose ring or a stud in her tongue. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold that against her, or him. Be tolerant and supportive. Remember how your physical appearance helped build the barrier between you and your in-laws? 6) Expand your horizons: Show an interest in their music, hobbies and passions. If they invite you, go, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe and you can face yourself in the mirror. Adult children provide an opportunity to expand your horizons while walking on their path.

Project Lifesaver program gaining momentum in Ottawa

“

By Melissa Burden Special to The Press news@presspublications.com

Search team members are trained on how to approach a person with Alzheimer’s disease...

“

Project Lifesaver in Ottawa County is growing in use throughout the county. The program has helped locate individuals who may not be able to find their own way home. According to Carolyne Gilchrist, Project Lifesaver coordinator, individuals and caregivers in the county have already benefited from the program. “We had one gentleman last August who was recovered within 37 minutes,” Gilchrist said. “We had just signed him up for the program. When we were leaving his house, his wife said they would probably never use the program. Later that week, he was a missing person.” Ottawa County has offered Project Lifesaver since August of 2005. The county, at that time, was the first in Northwest Ohio to become involved in the now national program. Gilchrist’s own granddaughter Amber, was the first person in the county to receive the transmitter. “I found out about the program when my granddaughter, Amber, who is autistic, became a missing person in Medina County,” Gilchrist said. “That was nine years ago and she is still wearing the transmitter.” Project Lifesaver uses a passive ID wristband designed to help locate a person with dementia or developmental disabilities including autism. The ID wristband includes a one-ounce battery-operated radio wrist transmitter that emits an automatic tracking signal every second, 24 hours a day. The signal can be tracked over several miles on the ground by members of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office or from the air by helicopter from Mercy St. Vincent Medi-

Each wrist band has a unique radio frequency, Gilchrist said. The frequency enables the Project Lifesaver search team to positively locate and identify a person who has wandered away from home or a care facility using a specially designed radio receiver. “Search team members are trained on how to approach a person with Alzheimer’s disease or a developmental disability,” Gilchrist said. “They are trained on how to gain trust with the person so they do not back away or run from them.”

Using the Project Lifesaver technology, search teams have reduced the time it takes to locate a missing person from hours or even days to only minutes. The average time to find someone is 30 minutes, Gilchrist said. Ottawa County Project Lifesaver is a non-profit program sponsored by the Port Clinton Lions Club, the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office, and other agencies as well as by private donations, Gilchrist said. The program received a generous and anonymous individual donation as well as a $2,000 donation from the Oak Harbor Rotary Club and the Oak Harbor Lions Club

donated $2,000 to be used for more transmitters. The Ottawa County Board of Mental Disabilities has also provided Gilchrist with an office and has donated flyers and other materials to the program. The program currently has15 transmitters in use, with 12 children and three adults enrolled in the program. “The transmitter is free, but we do ask for a $10 monthly donation for the battery,” she said. “If someone is unable to afford that, they will still get a transmitter. We will not turn someone away.” The batteries are changed monthly, Gilchrist said. Ottawa County Sheriff’s Deputy Bud Chasteen visits the homes monthly to change the battery and to check on the participants and their caregivers. There is no contract to sign and individuals can try the program for a month to see if they like it. Those who decide to not use the program can return the transmitter with no questions asked, Gilchrist said. To learn more about Project Lifesaver, call Carolyne Gilchrist at 419-898-3679.

AARP getting started – list of eight rules for new caregivers From AARP • Start with a candid conversation. Talk with your parents about how you will be helping them to meet their needs. Unless they are severely incapacitated, they should continue to make their own decisions and remain a central part of all discussions about their care. Encourage them to articulate their concerns: Most likely, your parents are worried about becoming a burden and losing control of their lives. Have an open conversation about what role your parents want you to play. Establish limits so they don’t form unrealistic expectations. • Set your priorities. Make a list of what needs to get done and how you plan to do it. An organized approach puts you in control, reduces stress and ensures that your parents get the assistance they need. Be sure to cre-

ate backup plans, and ask others to serve as reinforcements if necessary. Write down your plans and schedules, and give a copy to all involved family members. • Build a support network. In most families, one person assumes the role of primary caregiver. But that doesn’t let others off the hook. Enlist the help of your siblings, of course, but also consider that cousins, nieces and nephews may be eager to help. Don’t forget to include your friends, distant relatives, neighbors and acquaintances, such as members of your parents’ civic or religious groups. Not all of these folks will volunteer to help, but many will get involved if you ask. Some, in fact, may feel hurt or left out if you don’t seek their assistance. • Don’t be afraid to delegate. Ask a friend to pick up groceries or get books from the library, a neighbor’s child to adopt your parent as a grandparent, or a local teenager

to help with yard work for a manageable fee. • Offer alternatives. With family members, don’t accept excuses for not helping without offering alternatives. A sibling who lives far away, for example, can help with paying bills, contacting doctors’ offices or seeking support from local agencies. Siblings who have young children can cook meals or bring kids along for visits and outings. • Hold family meetings. Schedule them regularly, and bring in distant family by phone. Choose a neutral party to moderate if necessary. Draw up a clear agenda for each meeting, and agree on rules of conduct — for instance, don’t interrupt, stick to time limits, avoid argument and focus the discussion on how to care for your parents. If meetings tend to be contentious,

consider hiring a geriatric care manager to run the meeting. • Involve your children. When you have parents and children who need your time and attention, you may feel pulled from both sides. Be honest with your children about the situation, and listen to their concerns. Encourage their questions, and answer them thoroughly. Carve out time for fun activities, and request your children’s help. • Talk to your spouse. Have a discussion with your partner about your caregiving responsibilities. What role do you expect him or her to play? Suggest specific ways your spouse can help, and show appreciation for his or her efforts. Recognize that your responsibilities affect your spouse, and encourage him or her to talk about any frustrations. Your relationship is a priority — keep it that way.

On February 13, 2013 I had respiratory failure and spent 3 weeks at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center. The physicians at St Vincent's needed to insert a trach while I was in the hospital, and a few days later, I was discharged to Orchard Villa for rehabilitation and recovery. I spent 3 weeks at Orchard Villa for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and respiratory therapy. On April 8, the trach was removed and I was able to return home independently a few days later. Orchard Villa helped me improve. I would go to Orchard Villa again if needed. The nurses and therapists are very good. I would recommend Orchard Villa to anyone that would ask me and would recommend it to all my friends if they ever needed skilled nursing or rehabilitation.â&#x20AC;?

Changing roles: Family caregiving is for men too

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Seventy-nine year old Frank Plewa has been caring for his wife Jane Ann for the last seven years, ever since she had a stroke that left her paralyzed on the right side. Jane needs help to get out of bed, to get into her wheelchair, with her personal hygiene â&#x20AC;&#x201C; everything in her daily living. She recognizes Frank, but he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her mind wanders, she talks about a lot of stuff that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense.â&#x20AC;? He says she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She thinks Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put her someplace,â&#x20AC;? he adds. Jane had the stroke in the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50th year of marriage, when Frank had just retired from working 50 years at Jeep. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We used to play cards a lot, rotate to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s houses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all that is gone,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in your Golden Years. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to happen to me.â&#x20AC;? Frank knows he is not the only male who is caring for a loved one at home, but, he

You think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in your Golden Years. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to happen to me. Frank Plewa acknowledges that caring for others is something that many men â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least men who are older adults today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; did not do in the family previously. Back in the day, the men worked outside the home and the women were the mainstays of the home. Caregiving to Frank means that he is in charge of cooking, laundry, grocery shopping, helping Jane with dressing and personal hygiene â&#x20AC;&#x201C; everything.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Men arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used to doing these things,â&#x20AC;? he said. But he does it and he finds comfort in knowing that Jane is well cared for and with him. Frank does have an aide that comes in daily for about two hours every morning and four hours on Sunday morning. The Sunday-morning respite gives Frank time to attend church and to go grocery shopping. Frank has a great sense of humor and

doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complain about the situation; but he does realize that he and many other caregivers have a tiring, constant job that keeps them tied to their homes. Sometimes he will bring Jane outside, but he says that after about 20 minutes she wants to go back inside. Frank attends the Area Office on Agingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Caregiver Support meetings held the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. at the Mott Branch Library. He says the meetings have given him a lot of knowledge about issues involved in caregiving. Speakers such as lawyers, representatives from organizations such as the Red Cross and others have been very helpful to him, he said, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You sit with people who are in the same situation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they tell you their problems, you tell them yours; you learn from that.â&#x20AC;?

Cards, Meinzer get job done in coach’s second year If you want to see this year’s Alan Miller Jeweler’s All-Press Baseball Team play as a unit, check out the Pemberville American Legion Post 183 team this summer. There you will find Co-Coach of the Year and Player of the Year, Dave Russell and son Nick Russell from Northwood, playing their part in helping veteran coach Don “Chopper” Schmeltz go up against other Ohio and Michigan Legion teams. You’ll also find three other first team picks, Eastwood infielder Ryan Mang, Waite first baseman/pitcher Joshua Murphy, and Eastwood catcher Zach Coffield. You’ll also find second team picks Brent Hayward, a Gibsonburg freshman outfielder/pitcher, Genoa catcher Nick Wolfe, and Northwood first baseman John Segura, plus honorable mention selection Jake Davenport from Northwood. Plus you’ll find three 2012 grads on the 19-and-under team from last year’s All-Press Team, including Clay pitcher J.J. Miller, Lake outfielder/pitcher Josh Tantari, and Lake infielder Ryan Kohlhofer. You can throw in Northwood senior outfielder/ pitcher Brandon Mahoney, another 2012 All-Press pick. Any Post 183 players not on the AllPress team are from outside the area — Elmwood, North Baltimore, and Bowling Green — and are all-league material that would be considered had they lived here. Nearly all the All-Press picks play on one Legion team or another, as many Woodmore, Gibsonburg, and Oak Harbor players play for the Fremont or Port Clinton team, Cardinal Stritch Catholic seniors Cody Kuch and Robbie Bekier are playing for the Toledo Hawks Legion team, and Eastwood junior Grant Peters pitched for Findlay Post 3 last year. As a group last week, the Post 183 contingent of eastern Maumee Bay baseball players routed the Maumee Post 320 team, comprised mostly of Northern Lakes League players with some Toledo City League and Three Rivers Athletic Conference talent thrown in, 13-1 last week. Three Pemberville pitchers, including Tantari, held Maumee to two hits through nine innings playing metal bat baseball. There is another — Stritch junior Austin Pratt is playing for Pemberville even though he had to sit out the spring prep baseball season because of eligibility transfer rules. Pratt would have been a likely candidate for the All-Press Team. Chopper Schmeltz, who once played Pemberville Legion ball with now Detroit Tigers skipper Jim Leyland, picked Pratt to play for Post 183, and that speaks for itself. Stritch coach Craig Meinzer adds that Pratt should be a major asset to his team next year plus to the Cardinals’ basketball team. However, it was those who did play for Stritch this spring that made some noise and are being recognized for it. In his second year at the helm, Meinzer’s team won a Toledo Area Athletic Conference co-championship. It is the first TAAC baseball championship at Stritch since 2003 and first for any boys sport since the football team won the league title in 2006. Craig Meinzer, who was assisted by Kenny Heban, Colin Meinzer, Thom Ziems, and Clayton Stidham, saw his team go 10-2 to share the trophy with perennial league

Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Player of the Year Nick Russell, a Northwood senior heading to Tifﬁn University. (Press photo by Don Thompson/Facebook.com/dnrsport) power Ottawa Hills. “After our first year together, the players realize we can play with every team in the league,” Meinzer said before the season began, hinting at what was to come. The TAAC honored Meinzer and his staff with Coach of the Year honors and the coach will earn Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press COY honors as well. Stritch was the only local prep baseball team to win a league championship this season. However, Genoa coach Ron Rightnowar and Northwood coach Dave Russell led their teams to a regional final appearance, one game away from the state final four, so they will share the COY honor.

Genoa (20-10) defeated Evergreen, 5-4, to win a Defiance-hosted Division III district tournament and advance to regional play at Elida. The Comets downed Lima Central Catholic (19-13), 8-3, but lost to eventual state runner-up and No. 8 ranked Bloom-Carroll (26-5), 8-1, in the regional final. Northwood (18-11) defeated its league rival, Ottawa Hills, 8-6, in the Findlay DIV district final. It was the sixth consecutive season in which the Rangers and Green Bears have faced one another in the postseason. The Rangers advanced to take on Midwest Athletic Conference powerhouse

Delphos St. John’s (11-15) in the regional opener. The Rangers took down the Blue Jays, 4-3, but lost to No. 16 Tinora (19-8), 13-5, in the championship at Patrick Henry High School. Two seniors, Northwood shortstop Nick Russell and Clay pitcher Jordan Grosjean, were honored with individual top honors by their respective leagues. Grosjean is the Three Rivers Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Year and Nick Russell is the TAAC Player of the Year. Russell excelled at the plate, batting .479 (46-for-96) with six home runs, 40 runs, 11 stolen bases, and 38 RBIs. On the mound, he was 7-3 with 53 strikeouts and only allowed 17 earned runs and 26 hits on his way to a 2.41 ERA in facing some of the Ranger’s stiffest competition. He will play baseball at NCAA Division II Tiffin University next year. Grosjean, who will pitch at Central Michigan University, was 8-0 on the mound with 87 strikeouts, 16 walks, allowed 32 hits and four earned runs and 67 innings for an 0.44 ERA. Russell and Grosjean will get Player and Pitcher of the Year honors with the All-Press Team, too. Every first team, second team, and honorable mention All-Press selection reflects the coaches’ votes on the all-league teams. Top individual honorees will receive plaques from Alan Miller Jewelers and team honorees will receive certificates.

Woodville’s Daniel Roepke takes fifth career victory By Brian Liskai Special to The Press Liskai2x@roadrunner.com The Bob’s Machine Shop/BMS Engines Dirt Truck feature at Attica Raceway Park last week was a thriller, with Brian Sorg and Dustin Keegan racing side by side nearly the entire 15 laps. But, it was 11th place starter and Woodville resident Daniel Roepke who charged through the pack and joined the top two in a three truck shoot out the last four laps. Roepke would blast into the lead on the white flag lap and held off Keegan and Sorg for his second win of the season at Attica. It was Roepke’s fifth career victory

at the track. “The harder I drove this thing the better it got. We had engine problems all night and it still wasn’t right, but it got us to the horse track (victory lane) and that’s all that matters,” said Roepke beside his Perkin’s Tree Service/ Johnny’s Electric/Vision Quest/Village Inn backed No. 88. Curt Inks and

Daniel Roepke

Brian Sorg paced the field for the 15-lap dirt truck main with Sorg grabbing the lead over Inks, Dustin Keegan, Eric Devanna and Brian Arnold. Keegan would take second on lap two, bringing Devanna to third and Arnold into fourth. The caution would fly on lap three for a stalled Andy Keegan. On the restart, Keegan immediately drove under Sorg as they raced side by side for the lead with Arnold, Devanna, Willie Keegan, Tony Siferd and Roepke in pursuit. Keegan would grab the lead on lap five with Sorg continuing to race to his inside with Arnold racing on their rear bumpers. The top three would continue to put on a great show until the caution flew on lap 9 for Todd Keegan who got hung up in turn four.

When the green came back out Keegan, Sorg and Arnold continued to wage their terrific battle with Roepke closing. Roepke would take third on lap 11 and he would then join the tremendous race for the lead. Keegan, Sorg and Roepke would literally race lap after lap within inches of one another as Roepke took second on lap 13 and then drove into the lead as the white flag flew. Roepke would hold off Keegan and Sorg on the final lap for the win with Willie Keegan and Brian Arnold rounding out the top five. Last Saturday, Fremont Speedway and Crown Battery honored the memory of the late Alex Burkett with an Australian Pursuit race.

Gibsonburg sophomore returns home a state champion By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Colleen Reynolds had one goal in mind heading into her 400-meter dash finals last Saturday at the Division III state track and field meet at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus. “I wanted something better than fifth place in the 400,” the Gibsonburg sophomore said, just a few minutes after placing fifth in the 100. “I wasn’t really happy with my 100 place. I wanted to get higher up, so I just went for it.” Reynolds accomplished her goal, winning the 400 in a career-best time of 56.57 seconds. Her previous best was the 57.66 she ran to win the regional title the week before. “A few girls from different regionals ran 56s,” Reynolds said, “and I knew I had to cut my time down. I was really happy with myself. I didn’t expect to win the 400. I was kind of going for the 200 (state title) all year. The prelims proved that my best shot was in the 400. I was third coming into the finals in the 400.” Reynolds, who led the Golden Bears’ girls track team in scoring this season, also placed fifth in the 200 (25.74) shortly after capturing the 400 state title. “It definitely paid off, working all winter long,” Reynolds said. “It just really paid off. The season went really fast and it’s kind of a relief that it’s over. We’ve been running since January and my legs are pretty sore. I’m glad its over, definitely.” Reynolds is just the second Gibsonburg athlete to win an individual state title, and the only one in track and field. Bears wrestler Paul Sanchez won a state title in 1982, according to Gibsonburg boys and girls track coach Glenn Owens. Reynolds qualified to the state meet in the 200 last year as a freshman. Her twin

Colleen took ninth in the 200, while Kendall did not qualify for the 400 finals. Owens said he didn’t necessarily think

Colleen’s best shot to win a state title would come in the 400, based on other qualifying times from around the state. “Maybe the 100,” Owens said, “because

her (qualifying) time was pretty close to the top time. She hit the mark we were looking for (in the 400). I gave her a time at the 200 mark we wanted to get to. She hit that mark and was the first runner at the 200 mark. I gave her a time of 27 (seconds) to get to the 200 mark and she came in at 27.2, and she had a really good finish. I thought she had a good shot.” Reynolds said the 400 seemed like a blur. “I didn’t hear him yell out a time,” she said of her coach. “I just heard him say, ‘Go!’I knew I had to push through the last 200 meters, and I got there. I think I was leading at 200. Once I was at 20 meters left, I didn’t see anybody around me so I figured I had it. It felt really good. I couldn’t believe it. I was going for the 200 all year. It’s always been my favorite race. I guess the 400 was just my better race this year at the end.” Owens said Reynolds’ improvement on the track from last year to this year can partially be attributed to the fact she ran cross country for the Golden Bears last fall. “Cross country got her into really good shape, starting with the indoor season,” Owens said. “I just think she’s in greater shape this year. One of my assistant coaches (Beth Kohler) is the cross crountry head coach, and we encouraged her and her sister (to run cross country). I think her sister was on board more than Colleen was. Once she got into it, she excelled and did really well.” Colleen was Gibsonburg’s second or third runner last fall and helped the Bears reach the regional meet. She plans to continue to run cross country in 2013. “The team was so close and everybody supported each other,” she said. “I went out in order to stay in good shape. People say it’s not a good sport for sprinters, but we proved them wrong. I didn’t think I was going to like it at first, but I learned to love it.”

Oregon, Genoa girls help soccer team to state runner-up finish By Press Staff Writer sports@presspublications.com The Metro FC Toledo U-11 Courage girls soccer team, consisting of 12 girls from Toledo and surrounding areas, is the Ohio North State Cup runner-up. Four local girls contributed to their success, including Marissa Young from the Genoa area and Kennedy Slovak, Payton Rigg, and Jenna Vislay, whom all reside in Oregon. Josh Weinberg is the director of Metro FC Toledo, as well as the coach. These girls play at the elite level, having played in the MYSL, Wixom, the Michigan indoor state league (U-12) and the girls even played in the NWYOSL boys U-11 Division 1 this past spring. “Mr. Weinberg is always looking to challenge his girls, but not even he himself, could have foreseen the Metro Courage girls finishing the season undefeated with a 10-0 record against Division 1 boys,” stated a press release. The Metro team scored 48 goals while only allowing five goals against the boys, which included teams from Pacesetter, Sylvania United, ESSL Arsenal and two teams from Findlay. The core of this girls’ team has been playing together for about two-and-a-half years and only has 14 losses in 84 games

Metro Courage defeated Internationals Red in the semifinal 2-1, extending their winning streak to 22 games. Then, Metro Courage lost in the 2013 Ohio North State Cup championship game, 2-1, to Cleveland FC Royal in what was described as “a hard fought, closely contested game,” bringing home second place awards. Filling out the Metro Courage roster are Aubrie Zeunen, Hannah Miller, Alyssa Stark, Sophie Clody, Julia Webb, Lily Turski, Grace Turski, and Emilie Gardner. Metro FC Toledo is nearing its third season, playing its home games at The Shops at Fallen Timbers. Weinberg can be reached at 567-277-2336.

First pit bull rescued from pound is an ambassador for breed By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Just over three years ago, a little pit bull puppy named Liberty was close to being euthanized at the Lucas County Dog Warden. Thanks to Planned Pethood and Carol Humberger, owner of A Promised Friend in Oregon, the little pup, now named Gianna, has grown up to be an ambassador of her breed. According to Humberger, the former puppy has been rechristened Gianna, after Gianna Jesson who survived after her mother tried to abort her some 30 years ago. “My Gianna was the first un-owned pit bull to make it out of the Lucas County pound alive,” Humberger said. “Just over three years later, she is a great family dog and is a reliable pet and companion.” The pit bull made news in 2009 as Nikki Morey, executive director of Planned Pethood, fought then Dog Warden Tom Skeldon to release the puppy into the care of the Toledo Area Humane Society. The five week-old puppy was found during a drug raid in a feces-filled crate. The only other dog on the property was an adult male that was locked on the front porch. She was taken to the Lucas County dog warden. “She stayed in isolation for three weeks at the pound until Planned Pethood found out she was there,” Humberger said. “With the help of the Lucas County Commissioners, especially Ben Konop, the pound was forced to give her to the rescue. The county rule at that time did not allow puppies under the age of 3 months to be euthanized, so the pound had her hidden, so they could wait another month and put her down.” Humberger said Gianna was 8 weeks old when she went into foster care. “The foster mom called me for advice and to see if I could evaluate this puppy

they called ‘Liberty,’” she explained. “After meeting this sweet, smart puppy who had such a bad start in life, I decided to adopt her. She was 12 weeks old when she came to live with our family.” Three years later, Gianna now lives with nine other dogs, four cats, birds and various farm animals. “She gets along with everyone well, be it animals or people,” Humberger, a dog trainer said. “She accompanies me to group and private dog training sessions and has been a great ambassador for her breed.” In March, Gianna officially passed and received her Canine Good Citizens (CGC) Award from the Toledo Pet Bull Project. Humberger is a dog trainer and CGC evaluator with the organization, but did not evaluate Gianna for the award. “She goes to classes, and she is just a really good dog,” Humberger said. “She never shows aggression with the dogs who live here as well as the dogs that come here for training, She would rather play with her ball and Kong than get into a fight with anyone.” Because of her sweet and easygoing nature, Gianna has changed the mind of many people she has come into contact with, Humberger said. “A lot of people believe in the myths that surround pit bulls,” Humberger said. “I have had a lot of people tell me they have changed their minds when it comes to pit bulls because of how wonderful she is.” Humberger said Gianna has never fought or even tried to bite another dog or human. She added the myth that pit bulls will lock their jaws once they attack someone is just that - a myth. “She can’t lock her jaw any more than other dogs,” she said. “She has the quickest release when I say ‘drop it.’ She is extremely sensitive, and the most verbally controlled of all of the dogs. She does not need physical correction. A stern look is enough for her.”

Make room in the garden for the easy-to-grow Calendula By J.K. DePeal Garden Writer news@presspublications.com June has come and the 21st of this month will mark the beginning of the summer season in full-swing. Those who have been planting and working in their garden or beds in May have noticed a cool and wet season. We actually had two frost nights after the usual â&#x20AC;&#x153;safeâ&#x20AC;? date for planting in May. The wet weather is very welcome and many of the perennials coming back this year in our beds are showing their appreciation with healthy, vigorous growth and abundant buds and blooms on the flowering varieties. The cool, wet weather is also providing us with an extended period for sowing seeds and putting in transplants and, the garden centers are full of some very nice-looking, healthy flowers, foliage plants, shrubs and trees for the choosing. Do you have room in your garden or beds for a re-seeding, easy-to-grow, edible, brightly-colored flower? If not, you may want to make room for this one. The Calendula or pot marigold is a great addition to any landscape. Calendulas range in color from deep, golden, orange to light, bright, yellow and they have an aromatic, spicy fragrance as well. These cheerful flowers are easy-togrow and, if given a sunny to part shade location, they will tolerate poor soil. Grown thickly, they can be used as a groundcover in places where other flowers will not

Dei Fratelli launches new gluten-free soup Dei Fratelli, a locally-made tomato brand sold throughout the United States, has re-introduced its condensed tomato soup as 100 percent gluten-free. The gluten-free recipe replaces Dei Fratelliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original tomato soup and now completes the Dei Fratelli line as completely gluten-free. The newly formulated product, available in grocery stores locally and throughout the country, offers the same zesty flavor as the original soup, Dei Fratelli promises. In addition to being the only condensed tomato soup on the market that is 100 percent gluten-free, Dei Fratelli soup is produced without high-fructose corn syrup, tomato paste or water, the company said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dei Fratelli all-natural product uses crushed tomatoes to provide its fresher-tasting, rich tomato flavor,â&#x20AC;? said Steve Hirzel, president, Hirzel Canning Company & Farms, which manufactures Dei Fratelli brands. A fourth-generation, family-owned and operated company founded in 1923, Hirzel produces canned tomatoes, tomato products and sauerkraut in three processing locations. The company owns extensive greenhouses and farms in Northwest Ohio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dei Fratelli has always focused their attention to consumers who have dietary needs,â&#x20AC;? Hirzel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our effort to produce gluten-free products has benefitted those who are gluten-free or have an allergy to gluten. We wanted to bring that same quality to our tomato soup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are thrilled to release this new product, which will allow those with gluten dietary restrictions to enjoy the classic flavor of tomato soup,â&#x20AC;? he said. Gluten-free products are growing with consumers afflicted with celiac disease, a condition that damages the lining of the small intestine due to a reaction from eating gluten, which is found in wheat, barley, rye, and possibly oats. According to CeliacCenntral.org, the disease affects 3 million Americans, though only roughly 5 percent are properly diagnosed. With no pharmaceutical cures for the disease, one of the best treatment options is a lifelong glutenfree diet.

garden, pot marigold will repel tomato worms, asparagus beetles, and mosquitoes. Pot marigold petals can be dried or frozen for later use. To dry them, just place the petals spread so as not to touch, on paper towels and allow them to dry. The dried

petals can be stored in airtight containers. Dried petal can be mixed into potpourris, used to make tea, used in hair rinses, cream, salves and soaps, and used as a dye for fabrics. Calendula can also be used as a coloring agent in cheese. In the fall, leave the seed heads and let the seeds fall to the ground. By spring, you will have new plants to enjoy. You may also want to try cutting the seed heads in the fall and burying them near and around your bulb beds. In the spring when the bulbs have stopped blooming, the calendula will be grown enough to cover the dead foliage of the bulbs. What a great plant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; any gardener could grow, enjoy and use this one. June garden tips: Stake plants that will grow tall as the season progresses and will need the extra support; â&#x20AC;˘ Add extra mulch to perennial and vegetable beds, transplants and young plants to keep roots moist and cool â&#x20AC;˘ Finish planting tender transplants such as coleus, tomatoes, pumpkins, and begonias.

Area couples renew their vows

Jim and Sally Christiansen.

Six couples said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still doâ&#x20AC;? at a wedding vow renewal ceremony held June 6 at Grace Bible Baptist Church in Walbridge. The couples renewed vows separately, after being introduced as a group, then each husband and wife pair walked down the aisle and renewed vows with Pastor David Stogsdill. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;bridesâ&#x20AC;? all carried a rose with babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breath. After signing a certificate commemorating their renewal, the couples enjoyed cupcakes and beverages. The couples included: Jim and Sally Christiansen, married June 27, 1953; Lawrence and Sharon Stickler, married June 1, 1957 at Grace Church; Bob and Mary Jane Joehlin, married May 3, 1958; Bill and Bonnie Merritt, married June 19, 1971; Adam and Kelsey Hartford, married June 12, 2007 at Grace Church; Ryan and Sarah Agee, married Nov. 13,

2010 at Grace Church. The Hartfords were the lucky winners of a gift basket worth more than $250, featuring items donated by several local businesses. And in a case of â&#x20AC;&#x153;better late than never,â&#x20AC;? another couple, who were tardy for the ceremony, renewed their vows after the others had left. The couple, Angie and Frank Thompson, werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t late through any fault of their own â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their children had arranged, as a surprise, for them to be there, since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been married 30 years as of March 9. However, they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t told the couple, and Frank had to work. When Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employer found out, he let him go home early. The pastor and pianist and a few guests hung around to watch the couple renew their vows. The vow renewal ceremony has held as part of the ongoing Walbridge Centennial celebration.

Perry’s Longboat christening Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry could not have turned the tide against the British in the Battle of Lake Erie 200 years ago without the aid of the longboat that carried him from the sinking Lawrence to the eventually triumphant Niagara. And although Perry’s Longboat isn’t large on size, its historical relevance is as immense as any ship in the Commodore’s fleet. For this reason, it has been recreated to play its vital role in the Battle of Lake Erie Bicentennial Celebration later this summer. On Saturday, June 15 at 10 a.m. at the Shelby Street Boat Ramp in downtown Sandusky, the Sandusky Maritime Museum and the Perry Group will unveil Riddle Boat Work’s replica of Perry’s iconic quarter boat. The christening will coincide with the Maritime Museum and Lyman Boat Owners Association’s Classic Boat Show at the Paper District Marina that same day

Family Briefs from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, call the Maritime Museum at 419-624-0274 or visit at www.sanduskymaritime.org.

Being able and willing to accept where we are in our lives can benefit our peace of mind and add to our personal happiness. We all know that life is not always easy, and that everyone has issues with which to contend; however, our attitude and the way in which we address our daily concerns defines our character and well being. Just as much of our past momentous problems with which we were once so concerned have now hopefully disappeared, future problems will also be taken care of. Therefore we should accept that life is

eek: Accepting Your Life always challenging and make the best of what we have. Dealing with the concerns of daily life helps us to develop a trust in our Heavenly Father, and knowing that He loves us should be comforting in times of stress. Everyone has concerns in this world, but being truly satisfied with our lives and accepting that we are exactly where God wants us, is a reflection of the healthy contented attitude of a well-adjusted person. Let us then pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. R.S.V. Romans 14:19

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, OTTAWA COUNTY, OHIO ROBERT J. HILLE Treasurer, Ottawa County, Ohio Plaintiff, â&#x20AC;&#x201C;vâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;

Case No. 09-CVE-597

Judge Bruce Winters Parcels of Land Encumbered with Delinquent Tax Liens, et al., Defendant(s).

NOTICE OF SALE UNDER JUDGMENT OF FORECLOSURE OF LIENS FOR DELINQUENT LAND TAXES Whereas, judgment has been rendered against certain parcels of real property for taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, interest, and costs as set out at the end hereof. The Ottawa County Prosecutor has determined that the publication of the complete legal descriptions is not necessary to provide reasonable notice of the foreclosure sale to potential bidders; however, a complete legal description may be obtained from the Ottawa County Prosecutorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, 315 Madison Street, Suite 205, Port Clinton, Ohio 43452. Whereas, such judgment orders such real property to be sold or otherwise disposed of according to law by the undersigned to satisfy the total amount of such judgment; Now, therefore, public notice is hereby given that I, Lawrence Hartlaub, Ottawa County Auditor, will either dispose of such property according to law or sell such real property at public auction, for cash, to the highest bidder of an amount that equals at least the total amount of the judgment, including all taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest payable subsequent to the delivery to the prosecuting attorney of the delinquent land tax certificate or master list of delinquent tracts and prior to the transfer of the deed of the property to the purchaser following confirmation of sale between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., at the Emergency Operations Center in the basement of the Ottawa County Courthouse, 315 Madison Street, Port Clinton, Ohio, on the 2nd day of July, 2013. If any parcel does not receive sufficient bid or is not otherwise disposed of according to law, it may be offered for sale, under the same terms and conditions of the first sale at the same time of day and at the same place, on the 16th day of July, 2013, for an amount that equals the total amount of the judgment, including all taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest payable subsequent to the delivery to the prosecuting attorney of the delinquent land tax certificate or master list of delinquent tracts and prior to the transfer of the deed of the property to the purchaser following confirmation of sale. Public notice is hereby given that all the parcels to be sold at public auction will be sold subject to all liens and encumbrances with respect to the parcel, other than the liens for land taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest for which the lien was foreclosed and in satisfaction of which the property is sold.

ROLLO

Hi, my name is ROLLO and I am a very nice boy (60 lbs). I love to play, but the couch is one of my favorite places too. I will need a fenced in yard to keep me safe. A family who is home a chunk of the day would be perfect, as I love my humans. I am a lover. My most favorite trick is "belly rub". I will need a fenced yard to play in. I am smart and love to play ball. See me on our FB page as I have a lot more pictures I'm neutered, have all my shots, am micro chipped and house trained! I am just a big goofy boy. For whatever reason in my past life, I do not get along with cats :( A gentle, sociable dog companion would make my day too. youluckydogrescue.com

Howdy there, I'm Conrad! I am looking for a fun and loving family to call my own. Are you able to help me out? I will play all day long with you and I promise to be a good boy. I am currently available for adoption at the Lucas County Dog Warden along with 50+ of my canine friends. The LCDW is located at 410 S Erie St. Toledo 419.213.2800.
