A mother’s thoughts on son’s tragic death By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Nearly a year after Sean Lutzmann was killed in a car crash on Woodville Road in Oregon, his family awaits a decision by the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals whether or not the man convicted for Sean’s death will receive a reduced prison sentence. Jacob Greer, of Fremont, was sentenced to 54 months in prison. His license was suspended for 27 years and he was ordered to pay $18,843 in restitution to the family of Lutzmann. Investigators calculate Greer’s vehicle may have been traveling as fast as 78 miles per hour the morning of July 2 when it slammed into the rear of Lutzmann’s car, which was stopped for a red light. Lucas County prosecutors argued Greer had marijuana in his system; however, investigators were unable to secure a search warrant for a blood test within three hours of the accident. Had a blood test been completed in the three-hour window with positive results, Greer could have been charged with a second degree felony for aggravated vehicular homicide, which carries a minimum sentence of eight years. Because of the test delay and other legalities, prosecutors charged Greer with a third degree felony and on Dec. 14 he entered a plea of no contest. His attorney asked the court to have Greer placed on community control instead of prison but Common Pleas Court Judge Ruth Ann Franks noted that Greer

Live entertainment, food, drinks, a car show and a fireworks display will be featured at the 7th annual “Boomfest at the Grove” from noon until midnight on July 2 at the Oak Shade Grove, 3624 Seaman Rd., home of the German American Festival (GAF) in Oregon. Singer songwriter Eddie Money, who had a string of hits in the 1970s and 80s, will headline the event, which is free. The “Cruisin’ the Grove Car Show” will run from noon until 6 p.m. and will feature “The Jimmy & Bob Show,” DJ’s who will spin 50’s and 60’s music. Live entertainment will start at 5:30 p.m. with the “10 From 6,” a Bad Company tribute band followed by the popular Toledo band “Arctic Clam” at 7:15 p.m., who will also perform after the fireworks until midnight. At 8:45 p.m., Money will perform several of his top 40 hit singles, including “Two Tickets to Paradise, “Shakin,” “Baby Hold On,” “Think I’m in Love,” “I Want to Go Back,” and “Take me Home Tonight. The fireworks display, sponsored by BP/Husky Refinery, is scheduled at dusk. “Our local business community has really stepped up to help make sure that both Oregon residents and people from the broader region could enjoy a traditional celebration of community and our nation’s birthday,” said Seferian. Other sponsors include Toledo Refinery, Toledo Edison, Mercy St. Charles Hospital and Bay Park Hospital, and the Oregon Clean Energy project, according to Oregon Mayor Mike Seferian. “We are excited to once again partner with the local business community and the GAF to present a fun event for Oregon area families,” said Seferian, who coordinates the event each year. “This event has grown over the last few years and we hope to continue building on this new tradition.” Seferian said he negotiates personally with entertainers to headline Boomfest each year, picking bands he thinks would appeal to the area.

Sean Lutzmann had tested positive for using cocaine while free on bond. An appeal was recently filed. In this interview, Sean’s mother, Jackie KiddLutzmann, of Gibsonburg, discusses the loss of her son and the impact it’s had on his family and friends. Q. Sean’s 28th birthday was in May. Do you let yourself wonder about what might have been; marriage, his own possible family, or do you try to block such thoughts? A. I absolutely think about what could have been. I think everybody who loses a child feels that way. Our oldest son and his wife had their second son two weeks following Sean’s death. We kept waiting for Sean to walk through the door. I real-

ized then, looking at my grandson, commenting on how he had his dad’s eyes and chin, I won’t ever get to do that with Sean’s child. We won’t get to tease him about how he proposed, no wedding photos or indulgent smiles about how protective he is of his wife and newborn. No chubby blondhaired, blue-eyed toddlers running up the walk to granny’s house. These are things you don’t think about, until the opportunity to do them is lost. Last year Sean’s birthday was on Mother’s Day, I think about that a lot. We had a great day – family dinner at Ol’ Zim’s, which means phenomenal pie, lots of laughs and a wonderful picture. But I didn’t make him a cake. It was his last birthday and I didn’t make him a cake. I think that will always bother me. Continued on page 6

Board addressing overcollection of levy taxes By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

Another type of birding

If promoting a property tax levy isn’t difficult enough for the Woodmore school board and administration, the millage math behind a $600,000 emergency levy renewal request on the August ballot is more complex than usual. That’s because the millage rate for the tax levy wasn’t adjusted to reflect current property valuations and the levy is on track to collect more than $600,000 this year - much more, according to the administration, which learned of the discrepancy earlier this year after consulting with the Sandusky County auditor’s office. Unlike a fixed rate levy by which voters decide a specified number of mills to be charged against taxable property values, an emergency levy is designed to generate a fixed dollar amount each year it’s in effect. Woodmore voters first approved the emergency levy in May 2011 and it’s due to expire at the end of this year. Jaime Pearson, district treasurer, said she became aware of the over-collection – the auditor is projecting the levy will generate about $751,000 this year – in February and brought it to the public’s attention at an April meeting of the school board. In addition to the over-collection on the $600,000 levy, another emergency levy that usually generates $829,000 annually is actually going to collect $1.03 million this year due to its underlying millage not being adjusted. That levy was originally passed in November 2013 and is in effect for five years. With the combined over-collection of $351,000, the board and administration have been discussing how taxes should be adjusted to correctly reflect district property values. Bond levy millage that voters approved in 2012 to help fund construction of a new elementary school building also hasn’t been adjusted.

“We are aware of it and we’ve been open about this since we discovered it,” said Cara Brown, who chairs the board’s finance committee. “We are going to correct this as soon as possible.” A board resolution directing Pearson to request the auditor’s office adjust property taxes has been drafted. The draft says: “The Woodmore property taxes for this year reflected a re-appraisal year on property with our school district realizing a significant increase in the Current Agricultural Use Valuation of our farmland. When our local taxes were computed this tax year, the required reduction factors were not applied on two Woodmore emergency levies and our bond levy for the new elementary building. Taxes were paid over the voted rate on those levies. Consequently, the Woodmore Treasurer and the Sandusky County Auditor will work to adjust the levy rates this fall to accurately reflect the increase in district property values and to adjust for the increase in taxes collected this year due to the increase in CAUV with re-appraisal on the three levies.” Board member Sam Preston said Wednesday he composed the draft after discussing the matter with the auditor’s office. He plans to have the resolution on the agenda for the board’s June 22 meeting. Pearson said other districts have been affected by reduction factors not being applied but she was surprised by the amount of the over-collection in the Woodmore district. She and Brown both said the district has made great strides in getting its finances in order. “The books are balanced for the first time since 2012,” Pearson said. Brown said the board has made “leaps and bounds in six months” but if the emergency levy isn’t renewed this year it will hamper the board’s ability to prepare a long-term financial plan for the district.

Thompson lauds $9,000 contribution Greetings Folks A bit of good news to share with you all amidst all the sad news from Orlando. A week ago last Saturday I received a letter from the Vice President of Key Bank, Melissa Detrick, congratulating me on my ride along the Perimeter of the United States for Habitat For Humanity and Save The Children. She also said in the letter, “As a result of your efforts a client of KeyBank, who wishes to remain anonymous, donated $9,000 to Save The Children. The donor simply wanted you to know this donation was made as a result of your endeavors over the past several months.” After picking myself up off the floor (hyperbole), I checked my Save The Children personal fundraising website, but no donation of that size had been made through my website. I contacted Melissa to find out what I could regarding this generous, anonymous donor, and she told me that the donation had actually been made back in December. Key Bank apparently made the donation for this donor directly to Save The Children through their Gift Processing department. So I then contacted Courtney Nields who has been my Go To Person at Save The Children headquarters in Fairfield, CT. Courtney immediately went to work to track down the donation and have that $9,000 donation attributed to my Save The Children Fundraising page which she just accomplished today. That now brings the combined total donations for Save The Children and Habitat For Humanity to $26,781! Like the anonymous Disabled Veteran who paid for all the repairs to my bicycle after my accident, what can you say about such an act of goodness, once again. In fact, that applies to all my donors, no matter what the amount donated. With that in mind I would also like to acknowledge some recent new and repeat

Cross country biker and fundraiser Al Thompson reunited with his family on Catawba Island. donors who made donations to Habitat For Humanity and/or Save The Children since the last time I communicated to you all: Linda and Larry Badhorn, Mary and Lowell Baumker, A Jaye Cotter, Sherry and Mike Fitzpatrick, Phyllis and Ken Frain, Katherine Kelly, Beth and Bruce Miller, and Irland Tashima. And of course, I would certainly like to shake the hand of the anonymous donor who made such an amazing contribution back in December. I hope he or she will see this — I will forward it on to Melissa, and hopefully she can send it on to my benefactor with a heartfelt Thank You! So what have I been up to since my return? A little tennis, a little golf, a lot of yard work, a volunteer day with Maumee Valley HFH, and trying to settle back into a somewhat normal life. I HAVE been on my bike a couple of

times, and it does feel good to sit in the saddle again, minus 80 or so pounds . . . although, I do like the solid feel of the bike when it is loaded for bear. One of those times was over Memorial Day Weekend. My grand nephews and nieces were not able to be here on the day of my return, so I loaded my bike and all my gear onto and into my Honda Fit, drove to their side by side cottages at Catawba Island on Lake Erie, and re-enacted my homecoming for the little ones who were excited to see “The Machine”. The photo below shows that family reunion of a couple weeks ago. So Folks, hopefully a little good news will brighten your day or evening. Proceeding On to whatever is next in life . . .

Sentencing hearing A sentencing hearing for a Lake Township man convicted of permitting drug abuse is scheduled for July 19 in Wood County Common Pleas Court. Joshua Melnek, 29, of 28505 Bradner Road, was indicted along with Kevin Byington, 26, of 28135 Bradner Road, last November in connection with the overdose death of Brandon Morris, who’d been living in the Genoa area. According to court records, the two supplied Morris with heroin. He died in May of 2015. Melnek and Byington were charged with involuntary manslaughter and reckless homicide,

Oregon sewer project moves ahead

Eddie Money with Mayor Mike Seferian.

Headliner Continued from front page Money, he said, “seems to be popular around here.” “He has the hits. I spoke to him when he played in Sandusky. I thought he was great. I mentioned some things he might be interested in doing when he’s here to make his stay pleasant. He said he’d think about it. I’ll talk to him or his stage manager next week. I always want them to leave Oregon with good thoughts in their head and knowing they had a good time.” The Bad Company tribute band, “10 From 6,” he added, “sounds very authentic.” “I went to see them play in Cleveland, and went to talk to them. I’m glad they chose to come here to play. A couple of them are bringing some motor homes or trailers to stay. Others have hotel rooms and bringing friends with them. So they’re bringing a big group with them from Cleveland,” said Seferian. “Arctic Clam” plays more easy listening tunes during its first set. After the fireworks, “they’ll crank it up with some rock and roll for the younger crowd.” “We try to have something for everyone,” he said. “Feel free to bring your folding chairs. The event will run no matter what the weather. There will be no rain date. The show will go on.” The weather did not cooperate during Boomfest a few years ago, said Seferian. “We had five inches of rain fall on Oregon. The rain slowed down a bit, but we were still able to have the fireworks. Unless there’s a downpour, those fireworks are going off because there is so much effort to set up the event. It’s a big production.” A record crowd of over 12,000 people showed up last year for Boomfest, when the Little River Band headlined the event, singing 13 top 40 hits from the 1970s and 80s.

The hits included “Lonesome Loser,” “Help is on the Way,” “Cool Change,” “Take it Easy on Me,” and “Reminiscing.” Seferian said he expects this year’s Boomfest to draw the same number of people, or more.

Oregon City Council last week accepted the bid of Musson Brothers, Inc., of Brookfield Wisconsin, for Phase 4 Part A of the Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project. The contract amount was for $1,274,293.45. The city opened bids for the project on April 21. “This is our fourth project in six years doing a lot of sewer rehab,” said Public Service Director Paul Roman. Previous work for the Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project was completed mostly on Wheeling Street and west of Wheeling, said Roman. “Those are our oldest sewers. The next round will be in the South Shore Park area after Phase 4 Part A, B and C,” he said. The project is required by the city’s wastewater treatment plant Ohio EPA National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The NPDES requires a permit for all facilities discharging pollutants from a point source, such as wastewater treatment plants, to a water of the state, such as Lake Erie. “With our NPDES permit with the wastewater treatment plant, Phase 4

was its own project,” explained Roman. “Originally, when we laid out our projects in 2009, we were thinking about $1 million in each area but soon realized it was closer to $3 million per area and was very expensive. The EPA has been good to work with. We asked if we could spread out Phase 4 over three years because it was getting difficult. And they did agree to that. So Parts B and C of Phase 4 will be done next year and the year after. Those areas are in the Moundview area off of Woodville Road. Part A is also along Woodville Road,” he said. The work includes the trenchless rehabilitation of sanitary sewers, sanitary sewer service laterals, and sanitary sewer

manholes in the Ketcham’s Little Farms, Woodville Heights, and Ketcham’s Home Gardens subdivisions. The work also includes sewer spot repairs within the project area. The sanitary sewers were constructed in the mid 1920s. Musson Brothers recently completed sanitary sewer lining work in multiple Midwestern states as well as in the state of Delaware. The city received two bids for the contract. Both contractors are out of state. “Musson Brothers has done a lot of work in the Wisconsin area. They are a very good company. They meet the city’s best bid criteria, and they were the lowest bid as well,” said Roman. The project will be financed with a low interest loan through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Water Pollution Control Loan Fund. Phase 1 of the Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project included the rehabilitation of sanitary sewer crossings of Otter Creek and Wheeling Street at a cost of $783,701.37; Phase 2 included the rehabilitation of Cresceus Heights and Wheeling Street at a cost of $2,337,289; and Phase 3 includes the rehabilitation of Euclid Park, Old Eastmoreland, Valley Park, and Wheeling Street at a cost of $1,929,000.

A mother’s thoughts on son’s tragic death Continued from front page As his birthday approached this year I thought back to past birthdays. His best friend talked to me about him in grade school and his excitement about birthday dinners and bringing in treats. I decided to roll the clock back 20 years. I baked 12 dozen of his favorite cookies (chocolate chip, no nuts). We packaged them and delivered them to family, friends, teachers and community members with a message encouraging people to join us in making May 10, “Sean’s Day.” A day to make someone smile, brighten someone’s day and be a blessing to the world, just like Sean was. The response was heartwarming, it’s a tradition we’ll continue. Q. You’ve attended support classes for drug users to try to better understand addiction and other related issues. What have you learned? A. I was ashamed at my ignorance. I consider myself an involved community member, reasonably intelligent and aware of what is going on in the world. I thought if we did our part with our kids – and to a lesser extent, the kids in our community, my kids would be safe. My son was killed at 7:30 a.m. stopped at a light on his way to work, in a suburban community not unlike the one he was raised in. Obviously my way of thinking was flawed. I didn’t understand the reasoning that allowed Jacob Greer to get behind the wheel, stoned, after taking additional illegal prescription medication which further impaired his driving ability. That’s what led me to the DART program and then to the support groups. I’ve since made friends with parents whose children are in three different stages of addiction/recovery. I have laughed with them, shared tears and horror stories. Their struggles and pain are different, but they are parents just like us. This goes to the heart of the matter: The people peddling drugs to our children, our siblings, our neighbors, do not care about the pain that follows. They are the true villains, yet we protect them by turning the other way – “Not my business, not getting involved.” It is our business, and I’m not just

talking about us at the ground level. I’m calling out the politicians, the media – those who have power, influence and access. Illegal drugs are an epidemic, they kill people who have never used them as well as addicts who believe they will die without them. I wonder, if the dealer who sold Jacob Greer the pot or the person who gave him the illegal prescription drug knew he would kill my son, would they still do it? What if it was their son? Their brother? Q. Although Jacob Greer’s license has been suspended for 27 years, his prison term is for 54 months and his attorney has filed an appeal. Your thoughts on the prison term. A. Early on our family had to come to grips with the fact that even the maximum sentence was in no way just compensation for Sean’s life. Sean, as our son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend was invaluable. Even a life sentence or astronomical restitution order wouldn’t bring him back. We had to ask ourselves what outcome would most honor Sean and the person Sean was. The best outcome would be for Jacob Greer to be held accountable for his actions, return to our community drug- free, remain so and become a productive member of society – a great son, brother, husband and father. That’s what we hope for. I know a lot more about the legal system than I did a year ago. In particular I know the laws pertaining to driving under the influence are ridiculous and need to be looked at by our legislators. Common sense says if a person has copious amounts of illegal drugs in his blood 6 hours after an accident, and he has been in custody the entire time, he had to have drugs in his system when the accident occurred. In this case he admitted to taking an illegal drug prior to getting behind the wheel. But no expert would testify to this simple truth. Do I wish the blood had been drawn within the three- hour time frame? Yes. Not because it would’ve meant additional, mandatory prison time; but because he would’ve been convicted of what he truly did. He killed someone while driving under the influence of illegal drugs. When I was told about the appeal I was frustrated and a little angry. The trial process had gone on from July until January – through the first holidays without Sean,

vacations without Sean, birthdays without Sean. Then, right before his birthday – wham! I’m not sure why they think 54 months in prison is too much for taking a life. I do not hate Jacob Greer, have never hated him; I have never for one moment believed he got up the morning of July 2, 2015 intending to kill my son. But his actions led to my son’s death. He took illegal drugs, got behind the wheel of a car, turned the key and drove on public roads. Our lives are forever changed, as is his. This question prompted me to look back over the past year and I realize just how much grace we’ve been shown. I believe God’s grace is shown in many ways: the support we received from our families and friends; the blessing of living in a community like Gibsonburg, where nearly every day I see people who will ask (and really care about) how we are doing; the simple joy of going to church after a particularly hard week and hearing a song we’ve tagged as Sean’s. We hear from people, unprompted, who share stories of Sean and how special he was to them. My best friend calls them “God Winks”; those moments when we are most in need of grace and it arrives without our having to ask. Q. July 2 will be the one-year anniversary of Sean’s accident. Have you thought about what you’ll do that day? A. I’m not sure. We are getting together July 1 with some of Sean’s friends to tell stories, laugh a little, cry a little and celebrate the last day he was with us, here. Sean was a big Bernie Sanders fan, so we have been smiling a lot lately while listening to the political news. He would’ve been shaking his head over it all, I think. It has been my experience that these things hit you hard when you least expect it - random songs, a movie reference, a car that looks like his. I’ll probably just spend that day missing my son a little more than I do every day - wishing things were different. I know I will always wish for just one more hug, one more laugh, one more chance to let him know how special he was. One more opportunity to tell him I love him and hear, “Love you too, Mom.”

Conviction of Oak Harbor man reversed By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com An appeals court has affirmed and reversed parts of the 2015 conviction of an Oak Harbor area man for threats phoned to schools in Ottawa and Lucas counties. The Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals remanded the case of Charles Tingler to the Ottawa County Common Pleas Court for a rehearing on the restitution amount he’d been ordered to pay and for the credit he was given for the time he spent in jail prior to his trial. Tingler was indicted in May 2014, about a month after several phone calls were made to Waite High School and schools in Ottawa County that made gun or bomb threats. After a jury trial in March 2015, he was found guilty of two counts of inducing panic and one count each of disrupting public services and aggravated menacing. He was sentenced to four years in prison. The appeals court ruled in favor of Tingler’s contention the trial court erred by not specifying in the sentencing judgment the number of jail-time credit days to which he was entitled. The appeals court also agreed his attorneys and the prosecution hadn’t agreed upon the amount of restitution - $1,605 and $945 to the Toledo police and fire departments respectively – the lower court imposed. “There is nothing in the record which indicates the parties agreed upon these amounts of restitution. Since no restitution was ordered at the sentencing hearing and there is no evidence of an agreement concerning the amounts of restitution, appellant was denied the opportunity to dispute the amounts imposed. We find the trial court erred in failing to hold a hearing on restitution,” the appeals court wrote. It rejected Tingler’s argument that he’d been denied his right to a speedy trial and also ruled he had not met the burden of proof for demonstrating ineffective defense counsel. From May 16, 2014 to his trial he’d been represented by three court-appointed attorneys. Costs of the appeal are to be split evenly between the parties.

Waterline project OK’d A contract for replacing about 6,000 feet of aging waterlines along four streets in the City of Northwood could be awarded next month. The board of trustees of the Northwestern Water and Sewer District last week approved a resolution to advertise for bids for replacing waterlines along Hanson, George, Bihl and Mason streets. Jerry Greiner, district director, said the lines are all eight inches in diameter and the project is expected to cost about $710,000. He said the lines are about 50 years old and have a history of leaking. As a practice, the district maps areas where waterline repairs are made and uses the data to determine a replacement schedule.

Genoa pondering future of two historic buildings By Lou Hebert Special to The Press news@presspublications.com For decades two aging and derelict pink buildings have overlooked Washington Street near Genoa’s historic Town Hall. To many people these long neglected structures have been a mystery and roadside wonder as passersby guess what they might have been at one time and why they haven’t been torn down. But to some folks, these orphans of time are much more than what the eye perceives. For behind the tattered and peeling facades, some folks glimpse a treasure - precious pieces of Genoa’s past that need to be saved so they may take their special place in the Genoa story. Genoa’s Mayor, Ken Harsanje, Sr. has put together a special committee to look into what should, or could be done with them. These aren’t just any buildings. They have a past. One was Genoa’s third school house built in 1856 on the site of the former Camper Elementary School at State Route 163 and Main Street. By 1870, though, the wood-frame clapboard school was moved to Sixth Street near downtown and became a sort-of community center, and later it was adopted as the headquarters for the Genoa chapter of GAR, the acronym for the Grand Army of the Republic which represented the Union veterans from the Civil War. It is only one of a few remaining GAR halls in Ohio. In later years, the building was moved about a half block away to face Washington Street where it remained ever since to be used as a meeting hall and most recently as a storage shed.

The other building is a few yards south of the GAR building and is a stone block structure that was erected about 120 years ago. It had been the original station house and office for the Interurban electric trolley that ran between the Toledo, Port Clinton and Lakeside areas, called the TPC&L Railway. It appears to be constructed with handcut quarry-stone, but now covered in fading pink paint, and is one of the few remaining structural artifacts left in Ottawa County of the once-popular trolley line that ended passenger service by 1940. In 2016, could it be that the last train of hope to save it is leaving the station? It’s questionable as to whether it can be rescued. Mayor Harsanje says a recent inspection by an architect with the village’s design and review committee, indicates that it has severe structural problems and would require extensive work for any future public use. Meanwhile, Village Administrator Kevin Gladden says he is doubtful that it has much historic value at this point and because of the cost involved for rehab, he would favor finding a way to tear it down. Committee member Eric Hise, however, at a meeting with the mayor last week, said the village shouldn’t act too quickly to raze old structures that might have future value. He cited the story of Genoa’s Historic Town Hall and Opera House and how it was very close to being torn down in the 1970’s when some community leaders wanted to raze it and build a new modern office facility to replace it. “It was just one vote of one council member, Jim Rinaldo, that made the difference on that night,” says Hise, “Had it not been for his vote, we wouldn’t have

this historic building. Now 40 years later, I don’t think you’d find anyone who would think it was the wrong decision.” In recent months, some attempts have been made by the mayor and the village to secure the old schoolhouse-GAR building to make it less vulnerable to vandals and varmints. New windows have been put in and new front steps were installed. But more work needs to be done, and Mayor Harsanje is eager to do something with the building that he thinks could be a local museum some day. But he is quick to point out that he is not going to ask taxpayers to spend more money to renovate it. “We have to look for other funding sources,” he said. “Taxpayers need to know I am not going to ask them for new taxes to fix these buildings up. We need a plan and the money to do it, but it won’t come from the taxpayers. “ Other members of the committee agree a long-range plan is needed. “Money is always an issue in these kinds of projects” says committee member Ellen Bergman, who believes that in the end, investing in these old buildings will net dividends in the future by creating historic places that could help drive more tourism to Genoa and help give residents a sense of place. “These are unique buildings that only Genoa has. We need to tell their story and make people aware of them.” The committee is asking the mayor to give the panel one year to help secure the two buildings, do more research on their histories, raise community awareness and to explore some feasible preservation plans. Mayor Harsanje says he will take the matter before council to get approval.

Pearsons Gems

Exercise planned

The first in a series of five mini-festivals highlighting lesser known locations in the Metroparks will begin at the north addition to Pearson Metropark in Oregon, Saturday, June 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Hidden Gems series is an invitation to families to visit parks or park areas they may not be familiar with. Entertainment, food trucks and activities will be a part of each event. Metroparks staff will be on hand to talk about programs, activities and facilities available at that location. While Pearson is one of the most popular parks in the park system, with more than 600,000 visitors last year, the 300-acre north addition is less well known. Pearson North, with an entrance on Seaman Road west of Wynn Road, is a restored wetland with trails, wildlife viewing decks, a picnic shelter and a mid-1800s Great Black Swamp cabin. During the event, meet Metroparks rangers and interpreters, and visit the Johlin Cabin. Recent improvements include an extension of a bike and pedestrian trail and a new parking area on Lallendorf Road north of Starr Avenue, where a new boardwalk trail leads to a two-story viewing deck. The constant breeze at Pearson North inspired some of the children’s activities that will be available during the event, including kite flying and bubble blowing. Other upcoming Hidden Gems programs will be July 30 at the new Westwinds Metropark in Holland, August 6 at Wiregrass Lake Metropark in Spencer Township, August 27 at the Providence Dam area of Providence Metropark near Grand Rapids and October 8 at Blue Creek Metropark in Whitehouse.

Ottawa County will conduct a hazardous materials exercise Tuesday, June 21 from approximately 5-9 p.m. in and around the Erie-Ottawa International Airport. Exercise participants include Port Clinton Fire Department, North Central EMS, Ottawa County Health Department, Magruder Hospital, the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office and the Ottawa County Emergency Management Agency, as well as other local, state and federal response partners. Fire trucks and other emergency vehicles may be seen around the area of the airport and at Magruder Hospital near the emergency room entrance. The hospital and the airport will both remain open throughout the exercise. The goal of the exercise is to test the county’s plans for hazardous materials emergencies. For more info, call Fred Petersen, Ottawa County EMA director at 419-7346900.

Lake Erie meeting set The Ohio Lake Erie Commission will hold its next quarterly meeting Wednesday, June 22, from 10:30 a.m.- noon at The Ohio State University Stone Laboratory, 878 Bayview Drive, Put-in-Bay. The meeting discussion will focus on strategic planning for the commission, continuing progress with the Lake Erie Protection and Restoration Strategy and roll-out of the Western Lake Erie Basin Collaborative Plan. OLEC oversees Ohio’s Lake Erie Protection Fund, a grant program for projects that benefit the Lake Erie watershed economically and environmentally. This fund is supported by Ohioans who purchase Lake Erie license plates displaying the Marblehead Lighthouse, Toledo Harbor Lighthouse or the Lake Erie preserver and other donations. OLEC meetings are open to the public and include reports from the member state agencies and advisory committees, followed by a public comment period. Organizations and citizens are encouraged to attend. OLEC was established to preserve Lake Erie’s natural resources, protect the quality of its waters and ecosystem and promote economic development in the region. The director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) serves as the commission’s chairman. Additional members include the directors of the state departments of Transportation, Health, Development Services, Agriculture, Natural Resources and four additional members appointed by Gov. John Kasich.

Sclerosis Society, several mental health organizations, the Cleveland Clinic and numerous other hospitals supported the bill. The lead supporting organization, the Ohio State Medical Association, said the bill is one of its top priorities during the current session of the General Assembly. “Senate Bill 129 has a number of provisions that will make the prior authorization process more transparent, more fair, and more patient-focused,” said Tim Maglione, senior director of government relations for the OSMA.

Mercy Health Partners at St. Charles has stepped away from health promotion that it should champion. On June 15, Mercy St. Charles closed its Mercy Center for Health Promotion on Isaac Streets Dr., in Oregon. On June 20, Mercy opened a new two-story Medical Clinic on Navarre Ave., next to Walmart. Its Isaac Streets facility has operated for nearly three decades as a combined physical/occupational therapy and fitness center (a low impact gym). A fitness center that has for so long shared therapy space certainly meets the definition of “health promotion.” Unfortunately, Mercy management has decided that “health promotion” is a losing proposition and has eliminated the fitness center from its new space on Navarre Avenue. All during the new building’s construction, the several hundred fitness center members were led to believe that this gym and its associated therapy pool would continue in the new, but smaller, therapy space. Alas, just six days before closing, management announced, very quietly and timidly, via a letter left lying on tables and cabinets (not even mailed to paying members) that the fitness center would cease to exist at the close of business June 15. This was a shock to the fitness center members and some of the staff.

The real problem To the editor: Regarding the article in the June 13 issue of The Press, “Eight ways to keep your brain healthy and sharp,” I can just about guarantee that eating a lowfat diet won’t get you where you want to go, as natural fats are essential for healthy body function. There are very healthy traditional societies whose traditional diets included plenty of natural fats as well as cholesterol-rich foods, such as butter and eggs, calling into question the validity of research showing fats are bad for health. This is explained in this article, “Saturated Fat Finally Vindicated in Long Buried Study” (http://articles.mercola. com/sites/articles/archive/2016/04/25/saturated-fat-finally-vindicated.aspx). Actually, it is too many refined carbs and too many modern vegetable oils that are the real problem, as they play havoc

with blood sugar, which can directly affect the brain. Here is another plea for not a low-fat diet, but a low-carb diet, with lots of good natural fats – “How Nutrition Influences Cancer” (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/ articles/archive/2016/06/11/nutrition-influences-cancer.aspx). It is time to abandon the notion that a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet is healthy. Kris Johnson Retired dietitian Williston

Very disappointing To the editor: My daughter and I went to the Lake Township Cemetery to wash off my husband’s headstone. We were appalled – well maybe upset – at the condition of the cemetery. The only place mowed was where the people would stand at the burial ceremony. That is the first time I can remember since 1950 that it was not taken care of on Memorial Day. All the trash cans were overflowing and some litter was on the ground. If no one could get it ready, call the public. I am sure people would volunteer. Also, when my sister-in-law was buried, the dirt was dumped on my gravesite; they could have put a tarp on my stone. People who came from out of town could not believe it. If it is not mowed all

What you should do is the most important You’ve heard people say, “I’m doing what I can,” in response to solving problems. Although being proactive is preferable to remaining passive, taking the proper action is what’s necessary for success. Doing the right thing is more important than just doing something. When there is a fire, anything you do which does not contribute to extinguishing the fire is wasted effort. For example, a fire department effectively responds to a fire when all available personnel are on site fighting the fire. Anyone remaining in the firehouse, regardless of what they are doing, is not helping to put out the fire. The person who stays behind to cook is not working to put out the fire. The person who remains in the station in order to mop the floors while the trucks are out, is not putting out the fire. Although preparing a meal and cleaning are tasks that need to be performed at some point, putting out the fire takes immediate priority. Therefore, taking the appropriate action is more important than just taking any action. Consider Bob’s situation. Bob’s wife, Carol was upset that Bob wasn’t spending more time with her and their children. During the week, Bob spent a lot of extra time at work. Then, on the weekends, Bob wanted to get together with his friends. Carol was constantly asking Bob to devote more time to his family. Bob told people how much he loved his wife and kids. He knew Carol was unhappy with him not being home enough. Bob started sending Carol flowers several times a month. When Bob talked about his family situation with his friends, he would always claim he was doing what he could. But Bob wasn’t doing what he should have been doing to fix the problem. Although Carol appreciated the flowers, they didn’t replace Bob. Regarding his relationship with his family, Bob was not

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden doing what he should have been doing; spending more time with them. You must always be asking yourself, “Am I doing what I should be doing to fix my problem?” The way to determine this is by accurately and objectively assessing whether your actions are solving your problem. Excuses don’t matter. Your good intentions alone are not enough. Achieving the desired results is your objective. Think of your problem as a fire. All of your energy must be focused on putting out the fire. Any other effort is wasted. Ignoring the fire guarantees a disastrous outcome. Accurately identifying a problem is essential before you can determine what you should do. Your objective is to fix the root cause of the problem, not just deal with symptoms. Addressing only symptoms does not fix the problem. It’s not what you should be doing. Suppose water drips from your ceiling when it rains because of a leaky roof. In response, rather than fixing the roof, you put a bucket under the drip. What you should be doing is repairing the leak in the roof. Once done, you will no longer need the bucket because the problem will have been eliminated. Once you accurately identify your problems, you are in a position to start doing what you should do in order to fix them. Your goal is to find solutions which correct each problem, so that they go away and don’t recur. Constantly monitor your actions to en-

sure you are doing all that you should be doing. If your approach fails to produce the desired results by solving the problem, change your strategy. Doing the right thing makes life much more satisfying. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www. BryanGolden.com or your bookstore.

A bad idea

To the editor: If a few people who were at the bar in Orlando, Florida carried handguns, that shooter would not have lasted very long. Also, remember that Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin all passed laws to outlaw the ownership of guns. Only the rulers and their armies had guns. Not a good idea. Good people don’t shoot each other. Why do we let these kind of people back on the streets once they have harmed others? I don’t understand. Larry Erard Oregon

Roses, strawberries abloom in June gardens The red rose is June’s flower of the month. Roses of all kinds are in full bloom this month and lend their spectacular color and fragrance to fresh-cut bouquets, exquisite arrangements and elegant single-stem vase displays. In the “language of flowers,” red roses mean “beauty,” “youth” and “I love you” – very appropriate words for the wonderful month of June. June evenings are soft and glowing – a perfect time to enjoy the patio, porch or deck before the heavier heat of summer arrives. The grass now is rich green, velvetsoft and smooth under bare feet – if you dare! The air is sweet and when the moon rises silvery bright into a deep azure sky it is a perfect ending to the glory of a day. Along with roses and soft evenings, another delight of June is strawberries. Strawberry plants are easy to grow in the

garden or a backyard plot of any size. There are June-bearing plants and types that produce fruit in June and again later in the season. Once the plants are established and producing fruit, care should be taken in harvesting to protect the plants and ensure the tastiest berries. Pick the berries only when they are fully red and ripe and pinch them off just above the berry when picking. Pulling the fruits off the plant can damage them. If berries have white spots, leave them on the plant until they are fully ripened. When

harvesting, remove any damaged or rotted fruit so it will not harbor disease or attract unwanted pests to your bed. Freshly picked berries can be cleaned by putting them in a bowl of cold water for a few seconds and drying them on a paper towel. Washing berries under running water will cause them to become mushy. With a little attention and care, strawberries can be grown and enjoyed for a number of seasons. June garden tips: Keep flower and vegetable beds weeded and watered and thin seedlings. Watch for aphids and white flies and hose them off plants. Stake tomatoes and side dress them with compost or manure tea.

Ever wanted to create a new gizmo or gadget? The opportunity to learn about innovation and tinker with your own ideas is now available at IDEA Lab, Imagination Station’s new permanent exhibition. The exhibit allows visitors to step inside a world of science, art, engineering and design, where they will explore familiar materials and construct their own understanding of the world around them. Guests will experience interactive exhibits and innovative technologies with which they can make a car and race it down a track, create an animated cartoon or design a structure that can withstand the forces of an earthquake. IDEA Lab is divided into two thematically overlapping areas – the workshop and the exhibit area. The workshop area, Think Tank, is a lab experience offering smallgroup classes on specific topics during select times. The exhibit area will allow guests to experience eight hands-on activities anytime Imagination Station is open. The exhibit area also includes a tinkering space, where guests can choose to spend a few minutes or a few hours on an activity designed to use your imagination and learn the process of bringing a new idea to life. The combined elements support the reality that innovation and the ability to creatively problem solve are necessary 21st-century skills. IDEA Lab was funded exclusively by

private dollars. The required $1.1 million was raised by The Science Society, a donor group dedicated to promoting the sciences. The exhibit is also supported by Eaton, NAMSA and The Zenith Foundation. Lori Hauser, CEO of Imagination Station, said, “The addition of an innovation space like IDEA Lab is really exciting for Imagination Station. We are thrilled that so many people in The Science Society are so passionate about science and support STEM education for the region.” Traveling Exhibit Design Zone Design Zone, Imagination Station’s latest traveling exhibition, invites visitors to discover the secrets behind how video game developers, music producers, roller coaster designers and other creative problem solvers do what they do. The highly interactive, hands-on exhibition is organized into three thematic zones, all highlighting the importance of science and mathematical thinking in areas critical to creativity and innovation – art, music, and engineering. Admission into Design Zone and IDEA Lab is free with the purchase of a general admission ticket and all membership levels. Imagination Station is located at 1 Discovery Way in downtown Toledo. Hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday noon-5 p.m. Closed Mondays (with some exceptions). For more info, call 419-244-2674 or visit www.imaginationstationtoledo.org.

Getting married soon? Give Social Security your new name Every year, June marks the beginning of two busy seasons – summer and “wedding season.” With joyful expectation, many of us have already marked our calendars and started wrapping up our plans for the vacations, ceremonies, and honeymoons. While the betrothed work out the details, Social Security wants to remind them about one detail that’s extremely important – the “record” Social Security keeps of your life’s earnings. For many people, a wedding often means a name change is in order. If you are legally changing your name, you need to apply for a replacement Social Security card reflecting your new name. If you’re working, also tell your employer. That

Social Security way, Social Security can keep track of your earnings history as you go about living your wonderful new life. If you have reported income under your former or maiden name, and didn’t inform us of a change, we might not have received an accurate W-2 and your earnings may have been recorded incorrectly. This is easier to fix now — when you first change your name — than years from now when you retire, when it may cause delays in receiving your benefits. This is important because we base your future benefits

on your earnings record. So, visit our website at www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber, or call us at 1-800772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), to find out what specific documents you need to change your name and to apply for a re-

placement card. Last year, the Supreme Court issued a decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, holding that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry regardless of where they live within the United States. As a result, Social Security recognizes more same-sex couples as married for purposes of determining entitlement to Social Security benefits or eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. We recently updated instructions for employees to process claims and appeals when a determination of marital status is necessary. With these changing rules, we encourage anyone who believes they may be eligible for benefits to apply now. You can learn more about our policies for same-sex couples at www.ssa.gov/people/same-sexcouples.

Open house for Mercy The community is invited to tour the newly built Mercy Health – Oregon Medical Center at an open house set for Sunday, June 26 from 1-3 p.m. Father Joseph Cardone, vice president of Values and Mission Integration with Mercy Health – St. Vincent Medical Center, will be leading a blessing at 1 p.m. at the center, located at 3851 Navarre Ave. in Oregon. In addition, Mercy Health Life Flight will be doing a fly-over and landing in the back of the building. In early 2015, local leaders of Mercy Health were joined by physicians of Mercy Health, Toledo Clinic and Toledo Cardiology Consultants (TCC) to announce the construction of the two-story, 40,000-square-foot building. The $9.7 million project consolidates services such as imaging, laboratory and rehabilitation services such as physical, occupational and speech therapies under one roof.

Talented softball players — they’ll be around awhile By J. Patrick Eaken and Yaneek Smith sports@presspublications.com

2016 Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Softball

Three out of 10 teams reached the regional tournament and a fourth remained undefeated until the district finals, so one can assume that softball is strong on this side of the Maumee River. It is likely going to remain strong because less than 25 percent of this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press first and second team players will graduate. The only issue is that when all 10 coaches and 10 media members had to vote for the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Softball Team, they had more than enough talent to choose from. Even the honorable mention choices might be first or second team choices among a grouping of 10 different teams. Once all the votes were in, Clay senior outfielder Haley Dominique became Player of the Year, Oak Harbor sophomore ace Ashley Riley is Pitcher of the Year, and Eastwood coach Joe Wyant and Oak Harbor coach Chris Rawski share Co-Coach of the Year honors. Those three schools, plus Gibsonburg, dominated voting — the Rockets, Golden Bears, and Clay Eagles were all regional qualifiers while the Eastwood Eagles went undefeated until losing 2-1 to Archbold in a Division III district final. In addition, three teams, Eastwood, Gibsonburg and Clay, were their respective league champions and when voting was close for top honors, it was representatives from all four teams that led the way. For instance, for top pitcher, Riley had just two more votes than Eastwood freshman Ashley Hitchcock. Since both are underclassmen, we’ll see more of the Ashleys in the years to come. They combined for 535 strikeouts, a 43-4 win-loss record, and gave up 35 earned runs in 298.1 innings in the circle — keeping both ERAs under 1.00. Perhaps the final factor in voting was that Riley is one grade ahead and she had an ERA of 0.73 to Hitchcock’s 0.92, “Ashley took great strides this year to be an elite pitcher,” Rawski said. “She has outstanding coaching from Shana Scharer and Andy Szypka that helped her take her game to the next level. Ashley is committed to helping her team achieve all of their goals. She is what being a Rocket softball player is all about.” In Coach of the Year voting, every vote on an open ballot went to Wyant, Rawski or Clay coach Brenda Radabaugh, but Wyant and Rawski ended in a dead heat with Radabaugh two votes back. Radabaugh’s Eagles finished 20-4 overall and 13-1 in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference. It was in the Offensive POY voting that one player dominated — and who can argue? The Ball State University-bound Dominique batted .620 (49 for 79) with five home runs, 32 RBIs, and she was a perfect 23 for 23 in stolen bases, scoring 50 runs. It is also a year for youth, despite all the talent — multiple All-Press selections are freshmen or sophomores. Eastwood has three freshmen on the first team and Clay has one on the first team and two on the second team. Wyant had up to six freshmen starting in a single game, and that was one reason why Eastwood, which was not even picked to win the Northern Buckeye Conference

in the coaches’ pre-season poll, came out of nowhere to leave the rest of the league in the dust. The Eagles finished 25-1 and a perfect 13-0 in the NBC. Gibsonburg has six first or second team choices, and only one is a senior. The Golden Bears were 23-6 and a perfect 14-0 to win the Toledo Area Athletic Conference. Of Oak Harbor’s eight first or second team choices, only two are seniors — second baseman Olivia Rollins and third basemen Emma Vidal. Rollins, a second team choice who will play at Ohio Valley University next year, says Oak Harbor made tremendous strides during her four years with the program. She credits two others seniors — shortstop Chrislyn Stevenson and outfielder Brandy

Lochotzki for the team’s 27-3 season. “As much as we hated it, I think our long practices really helped. We starting lifting a lot more as well,” Rollins said. “I think that most of us have just played together so long, too. You have me at second and Chrislyn at short and we have been playing together since we were little. Brandy has been out in center and she knows exactly what needs to be done, so she communicates with the other outfielders. We all realized our role and accepted it and that made us come together as a team.” Rollins, catcher Maddy Rathbun, Riley outfielder Emma Bergman, sophomore outfielder Seree Petersen and freshman first baseman Kaytlynn Sandwisch solidified the lineup. Rathbun and Bergman, both ju-

Clay’s Haley Dominique. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.com) niors, are first team All-Press selections. Petersen, a second team All-Press selection who has started in her first two years with the program, hit .371 and because of her discipline at the plate, she knew how to draw walks, reaching base 47 percent of the time. She had five doubles, two triples, 18 RBIs and scored a team-high 32 runs. Sandwisch, a freshman, hit .329 with two doubles, a triple, 17 RBIs and 16 runs. A second team All-SBC and All-Press selection, freshman Dani Epling served primarily as the team’s designated player, hitting .373 with four doubles and 15 RBIs. Other key role players were Olivia Jensen, Michelle Stevenson, Abby Gregg and Emily Lenke, each serving as one piece to the unit’s puzzle.

Waite softball taking steps — new facility, final four Waite’s softball program took a big step forward when the Indians qualified for the City League final four playoff last month. The Indians lost in the semifinals to eventual league champion Bowsher, but the expectations year in and year out for third-year coach Raquel Granados just got more real at 301 Morrison Dr. “Making it to the final four was a big deal,” Granados said. “We try to set goals in our program, but obviously we’re still not competitive with a lot of teams outside the City League. The year before I started coaching, that (Waite) team won zero games. This was my third year doing varsity (Waite went 4-13 last season) and we made it to the final four. We’re taking baby steps and I know we’ll eventually get to where we’re going.” Waite finished 3-17 and 3-7 in the CL this spring. Granados said the Indians battled a lack of depth and struggled to get consistent outfield play. Waite did get to play on its new ball diamond in back of the school, which was paid for by Toledo Public Schools. Granados said the new field made a world of difference for the players. “Our alumni association fought to have that softball field put up,” Granados said. “They were not taking ‘no’ for an answer. We have them to thank that we even have a field out there to play on. The girls just have a general sense of pride about it. Having a new field, they felt like it legiti-

mized Waite softball. We didn’t have to tell people how to get to Ravine Park.” A group of older players carried the Indians in 2016, including senior Sylvia Rombach and juniors Marissa Cockerill and Destiny Papuchike. Cockerill (infield) and Rombach (utility) were both second-team all-league picks. Cockerill and Papuchike are also second team Alan Miller Jeweler All-Press selections and Rombach is honorable mention. Cockerill started out at catcher but finished as Waite’s starting shortstop due to an injury. She hit .511 with 23 runs, two home runs, 16 RBI and 31 stolen bases. “Marissa is a great intuitive player who has played several key positions for me,” Granados said. “She’s got a great bat and she’s disciplined at the plate. Marissa is lightning fast and was caught stealing just one time this year. She did a great job (defensively). She kept a high fielding percentage and even turned a double play in just her second start at shortstop.” Rombach, who has been on the varsity team for four years, was a utility player this

season and batted .367 with 12 runs, 11 RBI and 10 steals. “She played mostly catcher this year but she is a true utility player,” Granados said. “She has played almost every position on the field at some point in her high school career. Even playing two new positions this year, she managed to keep an .872 fielding percentage. She is a good hitter who can force a long at-bat to wear a pitcher down.” Papuchike, a third baseman, was honorable mention All-CL after hitting .459 with nine RBI and 12 steals. “Destiny was a clutch hitter,” Granados said. “She’s cool and calm at the plate and can work her way out of a tough count. She struggled to play catch-up after missing a few games in the beginning of the season. Despite that, she was one of our top performers this season. I expect her to be one of my top players next year.” Other honorable mention all-league selections for Waite were senior pitcher Kaitlyn Grant and senior first baseman Sierra Pegish, a first-year softball player. “By the end of the season Sierra was scooping up some of those balls at first base,” Granados said. “She was a transfer from Woodward last year and played basketball. She had never even stepped foot in a (softball) game before this year. She ran track and played basketball. I was able to get her to come out and she put in more work than just about anyone.” The Indians’ other returning starters next season are sophomore second baseman Estrella Marquez (.276) and sophomore third baseman/outfielder Angelique Bryan.

From Toledo to Cape Cod, Ross Achter’s goals are set By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Playing summer baseball for the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League has become a family affair for the Achter family. Ross Achter, a 6-foot-4 senior lefthander at the University of Toledo, is currently playing with the Kettleers on a temporary contract. He arrived with the Massachusetts-based club on June 1. “My dad (Roger) played for the Kettleers and my cousin A.J. played for them in 2010,” Ross said. “After my (college) season I thought I had pretty good year and I thought I was capable of competing. A.J. called the coach (Mike Roberts) and got me a tryout. He trusted A.J.’s word. I just have to come here and compete my butt off and try to earn a spot.” A.J. Achter was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in 2010, the same year he pitched for the Kettleers. He is now a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels, and Ross hopes to follow in his older cousin’s footsteps. Ross graduated from UT in May with a degree in graphic design and a minor in business. He plans to start working on his masters degree in general business at UT next fall. “Obviously my goal is to continue my baseball career and keep playing (after college),” Achter said. “If that’s not possible, I will finish up my masters degree and get a big-boy job. I’d like to be a graphic designer for a professional sports franchise or start my own graphic design firm.” Achter had a strong season with coach Cory Mee’s UT Rockets this spring. Achter got off to a slow start but started 15 games and went 7-6 with a 3.10 ERA. In 90 innings he allowed 84 hits and walked 35, with 62 strikeouts. “The first two or three games I had a problem getting through the fifth inning,” Achter said. “I would cruise and then get into the fifth and then implode. I don’t know how to explain it. I’m just glad it stopped. After I got through that fifth inning once, I settled in and I was cruising for

University of Toledo pitcher Ross Achter (Clay). (Photo courtesy UT athletics) 7-8 weeks. I had couple bad outings here and there after that, but that’s expected. I ended on a high note.” Achter, who still has one year of eligibility left at UT (he underwent Tommy John surgery and received a medical redshirt his freshman year), was a relief pitcher in 2015. Mee moved Achter into a starting role this season, but the 2012 Clay graduate opened the year 0-3 with a 7.20 ERA. “We were at Jacksonville and that’s when he got over the hump and threw a great game,” Mee said. “He pitched that well the rest of year. A big key for him was

he was able to command all of his pitches. He was able to throw the fastball, breaking ball and change-up for strikes and he was very aggressive in the strike zone and forced the other team to swing the bat. That kept his pitch count down. “It was great to see him mature and grow the way he handled the game. He showed his competitiveness. It was never a question, but he added a maturity where nothing rattled him. He showed great presence on the mound and handled whatever the game brought us that day. Ross was a bright spot for us the entire year.”

Achter, who was a starting pitcher for the Rockets as a sophomore, said the difference from starting to coming on in relief is more mental than anything. Achter was named the Mid-American Conference West Division Pitcher of the Week for the week of May 23. “When you’re coming out of the pen your adrenaline is through the roof,” he said. “You can go out there and give your all for one, two, or three innings. You have a lot more in the tank then. When you’re starting you know you have to go out there for six, seven, eight innings. For the most part it’s pretty similar. You want to attack hitters.” Through Tuesday, Achter had pitched in one game for the Kettleers (17-28), who compete in the West Division of the Cape Cod League. He threw three scoreless innings on June 10 and gave up one hit and struck out two. “I was nervous,” Achter admitted. “Temporary-contract guys like me have to go there and compete. The full-contract guys know they’ll be there all summer. It’s a little different with a temporary contract. When I got on the mound, it was an awesome atmosphere. When I threw my first pitch, I settled in right away.” Achter said more temporary-contract players – who initially receive a 10-day contract - have been joining the Kettleers as the college teams they play on get eliminated from the College World Series. “We have new guys coming in and out every day,” Achter said. “It’s cool meeting guys from big schools and see how they handle things and what they’re all about. I’m taking notes from those guys, considering I’m from a mid-major school, and seeing how they run their program.” Mee, meanwhile, will be happy to have Achter back for his final season at UT in 2017. “Ross is a great person and he works very hard,” Mee said. “He has a really good feel for the game. This year he took a lot of pride in his preparation to be successful, and it showed. He worked extremely hard in his preparation to pitch and with his strength and conditioning. He took it very seriously and it showed in his performance.”

40th Portage River Bicycle Tour set to start in Elmore The 40th annual Portage River Bicycle Tour is June 26, starting at Woodmore High School. Participants can register and begin riding between 7 and 11 a.m. The tour follows routes from 10 to 100 miles along flat, rural roads of Wood and Ottawa counties, with a lunch stop at the Portage River Festival in Elmore. Registration the day of the event is $35 for adults and $15 for youth ages 13-17. Advance, online registration at MVAdventurers.org is $27 for adults and $10 for youth 13-17. Prices include lunch and water stops. All riders are required to wear an approved helmet. The Portage River Tour is the first of four annual bike tours sponsored by Maumee Valley Adventurers, a non-profit organization promoting recreation and travel opportunities for people in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan. The tour follows the scenic, meandering river on a flat route, where the biggest hill is a highway overpass. Participants can choose from 10-, 31-,

The Press Box 62- and 100-mile routes, providing options for riders from novice to expert level. The family-friendly 10-mile route is mostly on a paved, off-road trail.

Fruit, snacks and drinks are also provided at rest stops on all routes.

Flyers primed to compete at a high level next season By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com A 16-9 season and finishing third in the conference is considered by some to be an underachievement. For Lake softball, it’s an indication that the program is in good shape and primed to reach new heights. That’s what 2016 was like for the Flyers, which saw five players earn league and district honors in a season that included several marquee victories while working to climb the ladder in the Northern Buckeye Conference. Lake had three of the top hitters in the NBC — Kirsten Zink, Emma Materni and Sam Hoffman — and you can include pitcher Sydnee Behlmer’s performance at the plate, too. Zink was fifth in the league in hitting with a .481 batting average and three home runs, both tops on the club, and also hit 11 doubles and 23 RBIs. For her efforts, she was named to the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press and district first team and earned honorable-mention distinction in the NBC. Materni, who earned second team AllPress, district and league honors, hit .475 with five doubles and 21 RBIs. Hoffman, a second-team All-NBC and All-Press selection, hit .471 to go with two home runs and a team-high 18 doubles, 33 RBIs and 30 runs and Behlmer, who also earned second-team honors in the conference, hit .414 with two home runs, 11 doubles, 22 RBIs and 30 runs to be voted first team All-Press

as a designed player. Behlmer was the Flyers’ top pitcher, finishing with a 16-8 record and a 3.90 ERA to go with 126 strikeouts in 147.1 innings of work. Notable victories include a 9-8 win over Evergreen in eight innings that completed a sweep of their doubleheader, an 11-8 win over rival Northwood that capped a doubleheader sweep, a 7-4 win over Gibsonburg and a 7-6 win over Otsego in eight innings. Lake, the No. 3 seed in the Division II Genoa district, saw its postseason run end when it lost a tough battle in the sectional final to Wauseon, 3-1, in nine innings. Had they won, the Flyers would’ve faced the top seed Oak Harbor, who it battled in the regular season before falling to the Rockets, 2-0. “We had an eight-game winning streak, the second longest in school history, (and) we had two extra-inning wins over Otsego and Evergreen,” said Lake coach Dave Rymers. “We’ve had two nice seasons in a row, but overall finished the last two years without winning an NBC or sectional title. Both are goals that we set as a team every year. We had the most combined league wins (18) in back-to-back years and Sam Hoffman tied the school record with extra base hits in a season and Kirsten Zink broke the school records for home runs in a career as a sophomore.” During the season, the four hitters — Zink, Materni, Hoffman and Behlmer — who finished with a batting average over .400 were the catalysts for the offense. Hoffman had 20 extra-base hits, tying Tricia

Askins’ school record, and Zink had nine home runs, breaking the record of eight which was held by three players, Askins, Schnell and Amy Derr. “Their stats were tremendous this year; however, they along with everyone else, need to be more consistent as we move forward,” Rymers said. “As a group, we counted on them a lot offensively.” In the wins, Lake averaged 8.5 runs per game, but that dropped to just 2.4 in the losses. Rymer says that now it’s about taking the next step and competing with the likes of Eastwood, Otsego and Elmwood for a league title. Plus, another good season could do wonders for a program looking to solidify itself. “(Another good season) would begin to be the expectation, even though the program has only reached the 20-win plateau twice in 39 years,” said Rymers. “We still strive for that number. With 20 wins, you put yourself in a position to win the league and make a tournament run. “We need to play better at home — we were 8-6 at home, and to be considered a contender in the league, we have to take care of the home field advantage. Secondly, we need to become more consistent. We had too many errors, gave up too many walks and did not have enough clutch hits this year. There were issues that we experienced all year that we need to improve upon. We do have a quality core returning that will have to have a good summer season and a dedication to winter workouts.”

Waite’s Neal, Heslet head to next level — as tandem By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Eric Neal and Alec Heslet just can’t get rid of each other, nor do they want to. The 2016 Waite graduates signed national letters of intent on June 2 to play for the University of Northwestern Ohio, located in Lima, beginning in 2016-17. The Racers, coached by Chris Adams, finished 12-19 and 9-13 in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference this past season. UNOH competes at the NAIA Division II level. “They recruit a lot of junior college guys and some high school kids (every year),” Waite coach Adam Rodriguez said. “Eric and Alec went on a visit on May 25 and fell in love with the campus. They both liked the idea they could go together. They spent four years together and both started three years on the varsity level and they became attached. Hopefully, they do it for another four years.” Neal, a 6-foot point guard, and Heslet, a 6-foot-2 shooting guard, both said they’ve dreamed of playing college basketball since they were high school freshmen. “I knew if I put in the work,” Heslet said, “it would eventually all pay off.” Neal led Waite in assists last season, with 4.3 per game, and averaged 14.8 points and 7.2 rebounds. He was named first-team All-City League and second-team all-district as a senior, leading the Indians to a 10-12 record. Neal said finally choosing a college was “a load off my back.” “When I signed, I knew where I was going to be next fall and I could rest without any more college visits and long drives,” Neal said. “At first I wanted to go to a college far away. When I thought about it, I wanted my parents and family members to come to the games. It was a bonus when the (coaches) said they wanted Alec, too. The campus was close and the majority of my classes would be in one area.” Heslet said signing day meant that he “reached my goal.” He was joined by his parents, Tracy and Ben, at the signing. “I need to get a lot stronger and get big-

It’s really nice (at UNOH) and it’s not too big. It’s a small school and they can really focus on me.” Heslet led Waite in scoring (15.3 pts.) last season and added 5.7 rebounds a game to earn second-team All-CL honors. He and Neal both played in the District 7 All-Star game. “They meant everything to our program,” Rodriguez said. “They were a part of the first freshman class we had at Waite and they are two kids with good character. They were our leaders and we’ll miss them

tremendously on the court. It’s time for two other guys to step in and fill those roles.” Neal said the fact that he and Heslet grew up on the East Side and have been playing basketball together for the last four years made it an easy decision to continue their careers with the Racers. “I know I’ll have someone to hang out with for the next four years,” Neal said. “It’s tough (competition). I’ll have to work for everything down there. Ever since I signed, I can’t wait to move down there. I’m going to try to talk Alec into going down three weeks early.” Neal said he will initially major in

sports management, but that could change. “I want to thank my mom (Wendy Haines) for always being there for me and supporting me,” Neal said. “She honestly wanted this for me and I just want to thank her and tell her I love her.” Heslet said he plans to major in business and marketing, and he is looking forward to lacing up his sneakers next to Neal in the future. “He’s been one of my best friends since freshman year,” Heslet said. “Basketball brought us close together. We figured we’ve been playing together forever, why not play together in college.”

Inspirational Message of the Week: We All Make Mistakes We all make mistakes, and sometimes these mistakes are big ones which adversely affect ourselves and the ones we love. It is often easier to live with mistakes that affect only ourselves than those which hurt the ones we love. But we should not allow ourselves to be crushed by our mistakes. We really should pick ourselves up, do what we can to alleviate the damage that we may have caused, and get on with our lives. In fact, we should really have a mindset that plans on making mistakes. Not in the sense of actually trying to do something wrong, but in the sense that because we are human, we know that we will err and that our errors may sometimes be costly and painful. Our

favorite cup will someday be broken, because we, or someone else, will drop it. Most car crashes are caused by driver error, and we can wallow in our guilt after an accident, or we can “dust ourselves off,” and move on with our life. I’m not suggesting that we be callous about our mistakes. A certain amount of guilt and remorse is appropriate, but it is important that we not wallow in selfpity precisely because that attitude makes it more difficult to help those we may have harmed. For we all make many mistakes, and if any one makes no mistakes in what he says he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also. R.S.V. James 3:2

Hi, I'm Aladdin and I'm pleased to meet you! I am a very sweet boy with a super cute snaggle tooth. I like belly rubs and other cats. And I'm extra special because I have feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) which typically causes a weakening of the cat's immune system. FIV cats usually live long and healthy lives just like "normal" cats, but it's important to keep us indoors and vaccinated, feed us a high-quality diet (that sounds yummy!) and seek veterinary care at the first sign of illness (things like upper respiratory infections can take longer to fight off so it helps to catch them early). Since FIV is only spread through bite wounds, you can safely keep FIV positive cats with negative cats if we get along well. To learn m o r e a b o u t F I V, v i s i t www.tinyurl.com/zsuwy5j. Stop by Maumee Valley Save-A-Pet at 5250 Hill Avenue (at Reynolds) Wednesday through Saturday from 12 - 5 pm and let's go home together!

Factors to consider when hosting an outdoor wedding Many couples tie the knot outdoors, as nature can provide an idyllic backdrop on such a special day. In many ways, planning outdoor weddings is similar to planning weddings that take place with a roof overhead and four walls surrounding couples and their guests. But there are some distinct features of both indoor and outdoor weddings, and couples planning the latter would be wise to consider the following factors before they commit to a location for their ceremony. Laws Laws dictate what can and cannot be done in open spaces, and couples with outdoor locations in mind should conďŹ rm local laws and regulations before they commit to a location for their wedding. Research which permits you might need and if there are any rules or restrictions at each location you are considering. The cost of such permits may be negligible, but the rules may restrict what you can do in a given space and how long you can do it. Discuss these rules with each other to determine if the rules are something both of you can live with. Location Proximity to your reception venue and the hotel where guests are staying is another factor to consider if you are planning on hosting an outdoor wedding. A remote location might provide stunning views and privacy, but guests might tire if the ceremony location is far from the hotel and/or reception venue. This should not be too big an issue if the ceremony and reception are held at the same locale, but couples should still look for nearby lodging before booking remote outdoor locations. Weather Weather is perhaps the biggest factor couples must consider when planning an outdoor wedding. Outdoor weddings are best held during those seasons when the threat of precipitation is insigniďŹ cant and temperatures are mild, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still necessary to have a backup plan just in case Mother Nature does not want to cooperate. If possible, ďŹ nd an outdoor location that provides access to an indoor ceremony facility in case of inclement weather. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not possible, monitor the forecast as closely as possible and arrange for a tent to be erected should rain start to fall. (Note: The cost of such tents can be considerable, so build this contingency into your budget.) If the forecast is calling for chillier temperatures than you had hoped for, email out-of-town guests a few days in advance to remind them to dress warm. Logistics No matter how beautiful a backdrop may be, photos of an outdoor ceremony can be compromised. Couples, along with their photographers, should visit the site in the weeks before their weddings to determine arrangements for the ceremony that will guarantee photos are not compromised by sunlight or shade. Facility managers can probably offer advice as to the best places to hold the ceremony and seat guests, but a run-through at the location with your photographer in tow can help ensure your photos come out perfect.
