Woodmore schools

Board member wants clarity in dispute By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The newest member of the Woodmore school board hopes a lawsuit against him over his appointment to the board will result in clarifying the relevant legal issues and the board can get back to business. Dan Hoppe, whose appointment is being challenged in Sandusky County Common Pleas Court, said he was, in effect, a bystander in the appointment process but looks forward to a resolution of the matter. “Although I am disappointed the Sandusky County Prosecutors Office has chosen to focus their efforts on me personally, I welcome this opportunity to clarify the law and be a part of a solution that is best for the Woodmore School District,” Hoppe said in an email message to The Press. “As a dedicated member of our schools’ community, I look forward to clarity and justice so that we may be able to focus on real as opposed to perceived challenges and opportunities within our district. It is unfortunate that a dispute has developed over the process by which I was selected, a process in which I was essen-

Gibsonburg gets Trade Center antenna

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Lake Township trustees haven’t committed to developing a section of township-owned property into a dog park, but they’ve given the township’s park supervisor the authorization to apply for grants to fund amenities for a dog park. The trustees Tuesday gave the go-ahead to Ron Hanely to apply to the Wood County Parks District for grants that would fund benches, trash and pick-up stations, dog agility equipment and fencing. Hanely recently floated the idea of developing a dog park at the property adjacent to the township’s former dispatching center on Lemoyne Road but the trustees haven’t decided to proceed with the proposal. Hanely last week said the deadline for applying for grant money from the park district for 2016 is June 26. Successful applicants will be notified in November or December and grants will be awarded in April of next year. He said he’s visited dog parks in south Toledo and in Danbury Township to get opinions from dog owners about those facilities. One option he’s considering is to fence the township property into sections to separate large and small dogs – a common layout for dog parks, Hanely said. “One thing we heard from many dog owners is they think it is important for their dogs to have a secure place to socialize with other dogs,” he said. “Elderly people who’ve moved into small homes or apartments in particular seem to appreciate having a place to take their dogs. And a lot of recreation magazine articles are also mentioning the benefits of dog parks to communities.” One advantage of the Lemoyne Road site is that it’s centrally located in the township, Hanely said. Some grant-funded items, such as benches and trash and pick-up stations, can be used at the township’s other parks, if the trustees decide to not proceed with a dog park. According to the park district website, in 2008 voters approved a 1 mill replacement levy, enabling the board of Park commissioners to increase funding for the grant program from $75,000 to $100,000 annually.

tially a bystander. I volunteered to serve on the board to help improve our district and I look forward to doing just that.” The county prosecutor’s office filed the complaint June 11, contending the board violated state law when it appointed Hoppe to a board seat vacated by Grant Cummings, then the board vice president, who resigned in early May. The complaint says Ohio Revised Code requires an appointment to be made by a probate court judge when a school board doesn’t act within a required time frame.

The complaint asks that Hoppe prove he is rightfully a member of the board and, failing to do that, asks the common pleas court to remove him from the board. The board met in a special meeting May 12 to interview five candidates. However, four board members couldn’t agree on who should fill the vacant seat when they met during a regular meeting on May 19 – about 13 days after Cummings resigned. Board president Steve Huss then scheduled a special meeting for May 31 and the members present, Corinna Bench, Julie Bowman, and Huss unanimously voted for Hoppe. Board member Joe Liszak decided to not attend the meeting, arguing the board had missed the deadline set by state law to appoint someone to fill the vacant seat. At Liszak’s request, Norman Solze, an assistant prosecutor with the Sandusky County office; Mark Mulligan, the Ottawa County prosecutor, and Jim Stucko, of a Columbus firm retained by the board, had offered interpretations of the statute.

Oregon to consider bids for road program By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council on Monday will consider accepting the lowest and best bids from three contractors for the 2015 road program. Mayor Mike Seferian said at a committee of the whole meeting last week that the city will spend $1.8 million in its road program this year. Last year, the city spent $1 million to repair roads. “I think all of us take pride in the fact that this year will probably be one of the biggest road programs we’ve ever experienced,” said Seferian. When putting together this year’s budget, Seferian said there was some discussion about spending up to $2 million for this year’s road program. “We spoke of possibly spending $1 million with an additional $1 million when we talked about the road program in the budget. We’re very close to the $2 million figure. Before it’s all said and done, with some possible change orders, we may even exceed that,” he said. One of the projects includes improvements to the municipal building parking lot. “I was just talking to (Public Service Director) Paul Roman. Our water distribution garage in the fenced-in area is kind of a mess. We may come for a change order to actually pave the inside of that fenced-in area as an addition to that, as well as other things that may occur,” he said. Seferian expects the city to improve more roads next year as well. “The fact we can put $2 million into our roads – I’m proud to talk about. When you drive in surrounding communities, you see roads in dire need of repair. We’d done a lot of work last year. We’re doing a lot of work this year, and will probably do a lot of work next year also, and hope to get our roads as aesthetically pleasing and functional as possible.” Councilman Jerry Peach said a resident recently complimented the city on the completion of the Dustin and Coy roads intersection improvement. “She was very pleased with the way that turned out. She felt it was…a great beneficial addition to our road program.” Among the bids council will consider on Monday include: • Buckeye Excavating & Construction, Inc., Norwalk, Ohio, bid $420,271 to improve Eastmoreland Drive and S. Yarrow Street. The improvements to Eastmoreland Drive, from Yarrow Street to Edward Street, include the full removal and replacement of existing asphalt/concrete road with new underdrains, aggregate base, curb and asphalt. Work on S. Yarrow Street, from Starr Avenue to Camelot Drive, will include 580 feet of mill/fill with full depth joint repair, 600 feet of full removal and replacement of existing asphalt/concrete road with new underdrains, aggregate base, curb and asphalt. • Gerken Paving, Inc., Napoleon, bid $1,036.424.55 to install asphalt resurfacing over SAMI (Stress Absorbing Membrane Interlayer) on Stadium Road, from Seaman Road to Navarre Road; on Seaman Road, from Wynn Road to Stadium Road; on Lallendorf Road, from Seaman Road to Starr Avenue; and on Norden Road, from Cedar Point Road to Navarre Avenue. • Henry W. Bergman, Inc., Genoa, bid $178,958 to repair roadway base failures and deteriorated surface defects at various locations, including: Van Buren Avenue, from Starr Avenue to the north corporation limit; on Jersey Road, from Brown Road to Rogers Lane; on Brown Road, from Wheeling Street to I-280; on Starr Avenue, from Easthampton Drive to Coy Road; on Coy Road, from Seaman Road to Starr Avenue; on Springwood East, from Seaman Road to Springtime Drive. • Bergman also submitted a $156,645 bid for curb installation, milling, and asphalt resurfacing of the municipal building south parking lot, and a $93,755 bid to install a 10-foot wide asphalt bikeway from the Starr Extension Bridge to the south recreation complex concession stand, including additional drainage improvements.

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The first reading of an ordinance to vacate an alley between the Walbridge Branch Library and Memorial Park has been heard by village council. Vacating the 16.5-foot-wide alley is a preliminary step for enabling the local branch of the Wood County library to expand. The village also owns a vacant parcel between the park and alley. Mayor Ed Kolanko Thursday said he feels “very positive” about the library branch, located at 108 N. Main, growing in the village. “Obviously there is a process to follow with vacating the alley and/or donating the property to the library,” he said. “We’ll fully go through the ordinances with three readings so anyone with questions will have time to come forward.” Once the alley is vacated, the village would own the north half and the library would own the south half, according to the ordinance. During council’s May 6 meeting, several residents voiced their objections to the village vacating the alley or donating the parcel to the library. Some argued the parcel could be better used for parking while others said vacating the alley would make it difficult for vehicles to turn east on the alley from another alley linking Union and Perry streets. The village purchased the lot next to the alley and razed a vacant commercial building on the site. The mayor said he was confident the concerns of residents can be addressed. “We’ve already conducted some research so that traffic flow and the needs of the residents will be satisfied. In talking

(Press photo by Ken Grosjean) with a majority of the business owners, the response I’ve been getting is that they’d like to see more activity downtown. If that comes from a library expansion that beautifies the downtown area and increases traffic there it will be a benefit for them.” Michael Penrod, director of the district

library, has said the branch would like to add space for meetings and programs and upgrade its technological capabilities. The building now covers about 4,048. Preliminary plans call for nearly doubling the floor space.

Board member Continued from front page tween a 10-day waiting period after the vacancy occurs and a 30-day deadline from when the seat is vacated. Liszak had sought an opinion from Stucko prior to the board’s May 19 meeting. The next day he sought an opinion from Mulligan and later that month an opinion from Solze. “This is part of a long-standing problem that our community has had with the Woodmore school board. The board, as led by Steve Huss, thinks that rules don’t apply to it,” Liszak said Tuesday. Timothy McCarthy, an attorney with a Toledo law firm retained by the board, in a June 5 email to Thomas Stierwalt, county prosecutor, states the prosecutor’s interpretation of the relevant state statutes is flawed. “A board of education has a window of opportunity that opens 10 days after a vacancy occurs and closes 30 days after a vacancy occurs in which it may select a successor to fill a vacancy,” the email says. “That successor can be selected in the “next regular” meeting of the board of education or in a “special” meeting of the board. If the board of education is unable to agree, by a majority vote, upon a successor during that time, the decision defaults to the probate court.” An email message left with Huss for comment wasn’t returned. The school board is also a defendant in a complaint filed in February in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court. Cara Brown, a resident of Woodville, is alleging the board has repeatedly violated the state’s open meetings/records laws. Attorneys for Brown and the board had a phone conference June 18 and have scheduled a mediation hearing for July 29.

Wood Co. Appreciation On Saturday, June 27 all residents of Wood County will receive free admission to Historic Sauder Village for Wood County Community Appreciation Day. “Residents of Wood County are invited to spend time together having fun in the past exploring historic homes and shops, visiting barnyard animals and trying hands-on activities – with no admission fee, with valid ID,” said Kim Krieger, PR/Media Relations. As a non-profit organization, Sauder Village offers the Appreciation Day as a way to say thank you for supporting Sauder Village for nearly 40 years. The County Days events have also been a great way to encourage people in local communities to visit and see all the changes that have taken place over the years, Krieger said. Since opening in 1976, Sauder Village has grown to a 235-acre complex with more than 450 employees and 400 adult and 200 youth volunteers. As Ohio’s largest living history destination, the village includes the award-winning Historic Village, the 98-room Sauder Heritage Inn, a 48site campground, the 350-seat Barn Restaurant, the Doughbox Bakery, and banquet seating for 750 in Founders Hall. Other upcoming Sauder Village events include the Old Fashioned 4th of July celebration on July 4 and 5, Fiddle Contest & Summer on the Farm on July 11, Explore the Crafts on July 18 and a Vintage Base Ball Tournament on July 25.

Oregon seeks to replace older tornado sirens By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon Police Chief Mike Navarre is seeking approval from council to purchase and install a new tornado warning siren as a safety precaution for residents who cannot hear the current sirens that sound off when severe weather is in the area. Navarre asked council last week to approve the $24,865.40 bid of Federal Signal Corporation, Federal Warning Systems, of Chicago, to provide the city with the warning siren. City council on Monday will consider approving the request. The city in November 2013 had five sirens, but some residents had complained they were unable to hear them when a tornado tore through the city, uprooting trees and causing property damage. The Lucas County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) in 2014 applied and was approved for a federal grant to fund the installation of additional warning sirens throughout the county. As part of the grant, Oregon agreed to provide a local match of $11,500 per siren for a total of four new sirens at a cost of $46,000. “Currently, we have a total of nine tornado sirens,” said Navarre. “Last year, we were able to purchase four additional with a grant from the state. We had hoped that there would be a grant available this year. Unfortunately, there is not. We have budgeted $23,000 in this year’s budget for the purchase of potentially two sirens, but with the absence of the grant, we will only be able to purchase one.” The siren at the No. 2 fire station at Seaman and Wynn roads is outdated and needs to be replaced, said Navarre. “It is the most critical at Seaman and Wynn. It’s the one we seem to get the most calls from residents who can’t hear it. The reason they can’t hear it is because it’s an

older style siren. It is not multi-directional. It’s stationary. It goes north-south,” said Navarre. The new sirens are stronger and cover more land area. The sound travels within a one mile radius compared to the half mile radius of the older sirens. The price for the siren is a bit higher than anticipated, he added, “but it’s something we can absorb in our budget.” There are more funds to cover the expense because costs for new police cars were less

than expected. The location of the new siren will be behind the No. 2 ball field off Seaman Road, he said. There are two older sirens at the fire stations that should be replaced in the future, he added. Councilman Tim Zale asked if the county was involved in the purchase of the sirens. “I’m all in favor of replacing and tak-

ing care of our dead spots. Does the county ever take part in the purchase or cost of these?” asked Zale. The warning sirens are owned by the jurisdiction in which they reside, but are maintained and operated by the county, said Navarre. “Each individual municipality or jurisdiction is responsible for determining the sites, purchase and installation. The county will maintain it,” said Navarre.

Oregon considers cash-to-tap fees By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council on Monday will consider approving cash-to-tap fees for 14 property owners to connect to a new sanitary sewer along Seaman and Coy roads. They would have to pay $149 per front foot if they choose to tap into the new sewer. The fees for the property owners range from $12,228.94 to $32,809.36. Last year, council passed a sanitary sewer agreement with AlcoreSenior LLC for the construction of sanitary sewer improvements along Coy and Seaman roads in anticipation of Alcore’s plans to develop an assisted living facility for seniors at the site. The agreement included conditions for the sewer improvement to be constructed as a “cash-to-tap” sewer in which parcels of real property adjacent to the proposed senior facility would benefit from the sewer improvements. “When that Alcore project came into existence, we knew that there would be a sanitary sewer requirement for the project,” said Mayor Mike Seferian at a meeting last week. “It was determined with Alcore’s participation, the solution that made the most sense was cash-to-tap, and that it would be most economical for residents across the street. It would also allow them the latitude to not be ordered into the system but to enter the system at their own choice. This amount represents the cost for the installation. If anyone wishes to tie into the system…it comes out to about $149 per front foot.” The cost of the project divided by the front footage determined the $149 fee, said Seferian. Councilman James Seaman asked if the property owners could make time payments or have the tap-in fee placed on their tax duplicates if they decided to tap into the sewer. “This would be something they would have to do on their own and finance on their own,” said Seferian. “Traditionally, we have never done cash-to-tap with a deferment before.” Seaman said he thought the $149 per front foot fee was “a little on the high side.” “I’m used to some of those projects that are down around $75 and $85. I guess that was a few years ago. But on the other hand, is $149 considered a little on the higher side?” asked Seaman. “We gave a range of between $100-$200 per front foot. This came in almost exactly in the middle. So it was well within the understanding of what the cost would be,” said Seferian. “One thing to bear in mind, this project, especially for the residents across the street, is somewhat of a luxury. Because without this project, if this would have been ordered in, like by the county health department or the Ohio EPA, my guess is that this cost would have been over $200 per front foot for these residents. If Alcore would have already been served by extending the sanitary sewer service at the eastern most end of their property, without making a bigger contribution to this project, they may have experienced a rate of $300 per front foot. They had more contribution from Alcore as a partner in the cost of this installation.” Sanitary sewers are very costly to install, said Seferian. “We will do everything we can to try and provide that service to whoever is requesting it for the best possible cost we can.” When more property owners are involved, costs tend to come down, he added. “With some big projects, where there are hundreds of people contributing to a project, they can absorb some of the unusual costs. That isn’t the case here. We have a limited number of people, and a lot of costs. Alcore paid some of the installation costs. The city got more out of them than we might

have expected. They were a good neighbor to these people, even though, when you see that number, it might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Why so high? The bottom line is, we’ve had higher,” he said. The property owners have known for over a year about the cash to tap and “the likelihood of us making this an assessed project was unlikely,” said Seferian. Only the county health department, the Ohio EPA, or city council could require the property owners to tie into the sewer, he added. “There have been occasions when council does act to order in sanitary sewer. But it’s usually at the demand of someone else. We have not gone out of our way to say, `Yes, you’ll tie in.’ The Ohio EPA or county health department has to order us to do it,” he said. “So we’re not actively seeking to force these people into this,” said Council President Dennis Walendzak. “You’re correct,” said Seferian. “Council has never actively gone after or ordered it in without the push from some other entity. So they do have that latitude.”

Fair hygiene As Ohio’s 2015 agricultural fair season kicks-off, the Ohio Departments of Health and Agriculture are reminding Ohioans to practice good hygiene when visiting livestock exhibits. “With fair season upon us, we want to remind folks that some illnesses, such as influenza viruses, are commonly carried by livestock and can be directly transmitted between animals and humans in the same way those illnesses are often transmitted between people,” said ODH Director Richard Hodges. There are precautions individuals should take: • Always wash hands with soap and water before and after petting or touching any animal • Never eat, drink, or put anything in your mouth in animal areas • Parents and caregivers are encouraged to leave strollers outside the exhibits and carry small children. • Older adults, pregnant women, young children, and people with weakened immune systems should consider avoiding animal areas “With Ohio being home to 94 county and independent agricultural fairs, we are fortunate enough to have plenty of access to some of the most fun, safe and wholesome educational activities for the whole family. These commonsense precautions we can all take will work to ensure the fairs remain that way for all Ohioans,” said ODA Director David T. Daniels.

Serving the Community for over 40 Years

Toledo Mud Hens Board of Directors today announced they have named Joseph Napoli as President and Chief Executive Officer for Toledo Mud Hens and Toledo Walleye. Napoli has been with the Toledo Mud Hens since 1998 serving as President and General Manager. In 2009, his position expanded to include the Toledo Walleye. In his new role, Napoli will focus on long-term growth opportunities for the two organizations and Toledo Region. “Joe’s commitment, drive, and leadership has been instrumental in elevating the Mud Hens and Walleye from sports teams to community treasures, says Mike Miller, Board Chairman, Toledo Mud Hens and Toledo Walleye. “His vision and dedication as well as his involvement in the community that we serve will be an asset as our organizations and city continue to grow in a positive direction.” In addition, Erik Ibsen was named to the position of Toledo Mud Hens Executive Vice President and General Manager and Neil Neukam to Toledo Walleye Executive Vice President and General Manager. “Both Ibsen and Neukam have been integral to our success. Combined they have over four decades of experience. They began their sports careers as interns with the

Mud Hens progressing within the organization, taking on more responsibility. Erik and Neil were instrumental in getting Fifth Third Field, Huntington Center, Hensville built and Walleye established. They understand our culture and care deeply about the people they work with and for the fans who support us. I know they will continue to play essential roles within our organizations,” Miller added. Ibsen, who has spent 20 years in the Hens front office and the last 10 years as the assistant general manager — tickets operations, becomes the fifth GM since the Mud Hens returned in 1965. Under Ibsen’s leadership, the Mud Hens have ranked in the Top 12 in Minor League Baseball attendance for 13 straight seasons (160 teams). Ibsen will continue to lead ticket operations for both teams. Neukam joined the Mud Hens organization in 1993 and most recently served as assistant general manager — corporate partnerships. He has had a key role in securing naming rights partnerships for Fifth Third Field, Huntington Center and Winterfest and for creating relationships with local, regional and national companies who have supported both teams and will continue to fulfill that role. Neukam becomes the second GM for the Toledo Walleye.

Your Voice on the Street: By Stephanie Szozda

Do you think they should legalize marijuana in Ohio?

The Press Poll By a vote of 11-1, Toledo City Council approved a resolution supporting marriage equality. Do you: Agree Disagree

Charlie Gallup Elmore "Well with as much of it that's out there, they should. And if they want to legalize it for medical reasons they should just legalize it for everyone because you know people will get it if it's out there."

Jeff Gears Millbury "I think it's going to happen sooner or later anyway so why not now."

Beth Gage Millbury "No. I don't believe we should legalize it because I know too many kids who have started with pot and gotten on other drugs. I just feel we have to many drugs in our country and it's unnecessary."

Ed Lemming Millbury "I think it could possibly be a good idea if they legalized it for medical use only but not for recreational use."

Chris Simpkins Millbury "Well that's simple, yes. It's a waste of the tax payers dollars to chase down people for smoking marijuana."

Fast-tracking international trade deals bad for Ohio By Chuck Lynd The growing power of the “buy local” movement in Ohio and throughout the country is nothing short of breathtaking. Not only do local first efforts help grow and sustain the regional economy, they also help build a shared sense of community. Through my role with Support Our Local Economy (SOLE), I get to see this growing movement’s impact every day. By connecting business owners with the information they need to use local vendors, and consumers with how they can support local businesses, we take advantage of the multiplier effect – by one estimate, 48 cents of every dollar spent at a local business gets reinvested, compared to 14 cents spent at a chain. In Franklin County, for example, a 10 percent shift from chain or non-local businesses to local independent businesses will yield $312 million in local benefits and would generate 5,000 new jobs - meaning 5,000 new customers for local businesses. There’s no reason this couldn’t work in communities across the country. Rather than be a number calling into

Guest Editorial customer service, you will be able to deal directly with staff that can help. Instead of wondering about the source of food on your family’s table, you can actually build a relationship with the farmers who grow and sell it. And rather than watching the dollars from your purchases flow overseas, your money can sustain a business which helps to expand the local economy. But this movement is under threat by the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a massive trade deal that would be the largest trade agreement in U.S. history and encompass 12 nations from Asia to Latin America. There are many reasons to question both the substance of this trade pact and its secretive negotiating process. These concerns are compounded by the TPP’s potential assault on basic

American sovereignty, which could end up costing us jobs here in Ohio. Details in the leaked “Investment Chapter” of the TPP make clear that this trade pact would allow multinational and foreign corporations to challenge in a secret foreign trade tribunal any U.S. law, rule, or regulation that could adversely impact the corporation’s “expected future profits” or that would pose a change to their “expectation of a stable regulatory environment.” Imagine foreign companies with the authority to challenge laws passed by our national, state, or local governments. Imagine these trade tribunals ordering the U.S. government to pay out cash compensation - our tax dollars - to those corporations. Imagine a local school system being sued because they want to get their vegetables from local farmers, or the state government taken to secret court because we want to use Ohio contractors for transportation projects. Despite these problems, the TPP’s backers want to “fast track” this agreement and prevent members of Congress from amending or changing it. Congress is currently debating a fast track bill that would

give the executive branch the opportunity to negotiate as many trade agreements as it can during a given time period and send them to Congress. Doesn’t sound so bad? Well, under fast track, Congress could only vote yes or no on the agreement: They could not amend the agreement or send it back to the executive branch with instructions for improvement. This is where our congressional delegation can stand up for us. The U.S. should not support provisions that allow corporations to sue sovereign nations before international tribunals. Any trade deal should support American companies doing right in their communities, not put them on an uneven playing field with international competitors. Congress should exercise its authority to regulate international trade, reject “fast track,” and encourage a public and accountable debate about the TPP. If this deal is so good for American business, let’s see it out in the open. Chuck Lynd is a board member of the Ohio Sustainable Business Council and Director of the Support Our Local Economy (SOLE) business advocacy organization.

Lift life’s heavy loads by moving one brick at a time It’s not unusual for life’s challenges to appear overwhelming. How many times have you been discouraged by the magnitude of a problem confronting you? Telling yourself “this is too big, there’s nothing I can do,” programs your mind for failure. Large obstacles are overcome by chipping away at them. Suppose there is a pile of bricks in your way weighing 500 pounds. Obviously, this is too much weight for any person to move at one time. A common reaction to this challenge is “I can’t move that!” But you can easily move at least one brick at a time. Using this approach enables you to move the entire load of bricks out of your way. Even a small child could accomplish this task. “But it will take so much time to move all of the bricks,” is a common complaint in response to this strategy being suggested. Time goes by whether you take action or not. When faced with an obstacle you must take whatever action is needed to clear it from your path. Otherwise you are stuck. Ironically, people will spend more time complaining, objecting, or finding excuses than it takes to actually resolve the situation they are facing. Their limitless excuses include, I can’t do it, I won’t do it, it’s not my fault, it takes too much time, I don’t want to do it, it’s not fair, it’s too hard, and I don’t know what to do. When you are confronting an obstacle which is in your way, all that matters is clearing the path ahead of you. This is only accomplished through action. Figuring out what needs to be done and then doing it is what it takes. Breaking a problem into small, manageable pieces enables you to successfully handle the largest challenges. It doesn’t matter how much effort is required or how long it takes. Being successful in overcoming obstacles is the objective. Here is a strategy for success. First identify the problem or situation

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden along with its cause. Don’t rush to conclusions. This step requires thorough analysis to be accurate. Be honest about taking responsibility for any of your behavior which may be a cause. Separate symptoms from problems. Symptoms are caused by problems. Dealing with symptoms does not fix problems. However, persistent symptoms create secondary problems. Addressing the root cause of a situation is always the most effective approach. Now identify all possible strategies for dealing with your problem. The more strategies you can identify, the more options you’ll have to choose from. For each strategy, list the resources and knowledge needed for its implementation. Determine the time constraints you are under. What is the deadline for dealing with your problem? Now you can select the best strategy based on your resources, knowledge, and time requirements. You must choose a strategy before you can take action. Avoid paralysis by analysis by making the best decision possible based on your assessment of the situation facing you. At this point you are ready to formulate a step by step plan. Make each step small enough to be manageable. Small steps enable you to tackle even the biggest problems which otherwise would be overwhelming. The tallest buildings are built one brick at a time. The final and most important step is taking action. Without action, nothing happens. As you take each step, monitor its effectiveness. If you are not getting the

results you expected, make adjustments as you move forward. Your experience is a great teacher when you can look back in order to determine what you did that worked and what didn’t. You goal is to repeat successful behavior while avoiding actions which caused problems.

Ill-informed To the editor: In last week’s Opinion, John Szozda created an ill-informed and biased article regarding the role Christianity plays in our society. Szozda reviews a study where it was found that parents believe religion reinforces common decency laws such as do not kill, steal, lie, etc. He then states “It benefits society to reinforce these Christian commandments.” Considering the history as well as the status quo of religious morality, decency is the last way to describe it. According to Szozda, the group of those who identify with no religion, or “nones,” is growing across the nation. Given the context of the article, Szozda finds the increase in nones to be negative. The information given here is manipulative due to the stigma surrounding atheism and the fact that many mistake nones to equal atheists, while in reality the majority of nones still believe in a deity of some form. This brings him to question what the drop in Christianity means for society. In agreement, he references Robert Putnam, professor of public policy at Harvard. Putnam had concluded the decline in church membership will lead to the disintegration of society. He notes that reasons

for this include television habits, divorce, suburban sprawl and the movement of women into the workforce. Blaming disintegration of society on a lack of religious commitment caused by women working is nothing more than a ridiculous and obviously sexist claim. It should be made known that religion has always been the leading cause of war, due to contradicting beliefs. By definition, integration means to combine or merge to become a whole. It would be fascinating to know how the leading cause of war and discrimination could possibly lead to integration. The article concludes with the bold and paranoid statement “The drop in Christianity is one more step in that zombie walk in a future in which we succumb to the lure of electronics and substitute a virtual community for that human touch.” Contrarily, many people leave organized religion for the purpose of free thought and logic. As evidence, the atheist community tends to be proficient in communication and highly values the concepts of free thought, technological, and scientific advancement for the future. It is safe to conclude that any drop in Christianity will pose no threat to our nation’s future. Amelia Bockey Walbridge

Caregivers Raising elder abuse awareness: an “invisible” problem In observance of Elder Abuse Awareness Month, the Wood County Committee on Aging, Inc. (WCCOA) and Job and Family Services of Wood County, Ohio held an Elder Abuse Awareness Event June 12 outside the Wood County Senior Center. Despite raised awareness about elder abuse, one in 10 individuals over the age of 60 have endured physical, emotional or financial abuse according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s National Center on Elder Abuse. The WCCOA offers this info on elder abuse: What is elder abuse? Elder abuse refers to intentional or negligent acts by a caregiver or trusted individual that causes harm to a vulnerable elder. Elder abuse takes many forms, including neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, financial abuse and exploitation, emotional or psychological abuse including verbal threats and abandonment. Elder abuse can happen to anyone. It affects seniors across all socio-economic groups, cultures, and races. Elder abuse can happen anywhere including a person’s home, nursing home, hospital or other institutional setting. Based on available information, women and elders aged 80 and older are more likely to be victimized, and mistreatment is most often perpetrated by the victim’s own family members. Other risk factors are dementia, mental health or substance abuse issues by victim or perpetrator, social isolation, and/or poor health which increases vulnerability. How can I tell if someone is being abusive? While there is no typical profile of an abuser, the some behavioral signs that

Wood County Prosecuting Attorney Paul Dobson (center) speaks out about elder abuse and how his office tackles the subject while Bowling Green Mayor Richard Edwards (left) and Wood County Commissioners Doris Herringshaw and Joel Kuhlman (right) listen. (Photo courtesy of the Wood County Committee on Aging) may indicate problems include: • Abusing alcohol or drugs; • Controlling the elders’ actions, such as whom they or talk to and where they go; • Isolating elders from family and friends, threatening to send to a nursing home, harming their pets or financial dependence on the elder. An “invisible problem” Many victims are reluctant to report abuse because they feel ashamed and embarrassed, particularly if a family member is the abuser. They may be afraid that the abuser will get in trouble resulting in more anger and aggression toward them. They may also be in denial

that the abuse is occurring, or unaware that what they are experiencing is abuse or neglect. Some victims are unable to speak out due to dementia or other impairments, or may not be believed when they do. Preventing abuse Report suspected mistreatment to your local Adult Protective Services agency or law enforcement. Adult Protective Services is statutorily authorized and responsible for investigating elder abuse and taking steps to protect the victims. In Wood County, the Adult Protective Service is housed within the Wood County Department of Job and Family

Service Agency, 1928 E. Gypsy Lane Rd., Bowling Green. The Adult Protective Service Hotline is 419-354-9669. Those reporting abuse will be asked to give the person’s name, address and details about why they are concerned. They may also be asked their name and telephone number, in case the investigator has follow-up questions. Wood County Adult Protective Service will accept anonymous reports. WCCOA urges everyone to help raise awareness by talking about the issue. Keep in contact and talk with older friends, neighbors and relatives. Be aware and alert for the possibility of abuse. Ask questions and listen.

12-Minute Alzheimer’s Experience offers glimpse into disease Many area residents have been touched by Alzheimer’s disease – if not personally, than through a family member or other loved one. In observance of National Nursing Home Week (May 10-16), Ottawa County Riverview Healthcare Campus, offered the “12-Minute Alzheimer’s Experience” to help staff and community members better understand the challenges faced by a person diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. During the 12-Minute Experience, participants were given simulations of bodily ailments that many people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s deal with, in addition to memory loss. The participants put a stack of pennies in their shoes to give the participant mobility issues. Rubber gloves were placed on the hands and fingers were taped together to give the effects of arthritis. Goggles with blackened lenses were worn to imitate glaucoma or other diagnoses affecting the eyes. Earphones playing static were worn to imitate the “white noise” studies have found Alzheimer’s patients hear throughout their day, making it difficult for wearers to hear the directions given by the evaluator. Once fitted, an evaluator gave participants a list of five things to do. The directions involved daily tasks we all take for granted – making a table, folding socks, taking two blue (candy) pills when the alarm goes off, making the bed, putting on a pink sweater. “With all the distractions from the

chores that needed done. Most forgot when to take their medication, how much medication to take and which medications to take.” “Even I, who work regularly with Alzheimer’s residents, was greatly impacted,” said Memory Care Unit LPN, Rachel Gasser, “I came away with a new sensitivity that I hadn’t had before.” Those participating were asked to give a donation to the “Music and Memory” program at Riverview Healthcare Campus. “Music and Memory” offers an innovative approach to dementia care that uses personalized playlists on digital music players to help residents reconnect with cherished memories and the world around them. The facility became certified in the program in April and a small group of residents are using the program with positive results, German said. Ottawa County Riverview Healthcare Campus houses Ottawa County’s only memory care unit, “The Lighthouse” as well as Ottawa County’s only Adult Day Program, DayBreak.

Heartland teaming up with ProMedica for food drive An estimated 3.7 million seniors are malnourished, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. Sometimes seniors are too embarrassed to ask for assistance when they need it. Not only can meal preparation become difficult, managing diets for certain health conditions can be a challenge. It’s important to have a plan in place for seniors who are living independently to get proper nutrition. To continue improving the clinical applications of ProMedica’s nationally recognized “Come to the Table, Hunger as a Health Issue” program, ProMedica has developed a food pharmacy modeled after the successful, decade-long program at Boston’s Medical Center’s (BMC) Grow Clinic. The idea is simple: a healthcare professional writes a referral to the food pharmacy for patients who are identified as food insecure. These patients are then able to visit the pharmacy to pick up a supplemental supply of healthy food. T h e food pharmacy takes the patient’s diagnosis into account when fulfilling the order, ensuring that all items provided to the patient are in line with their medical needs. The pharmacy will primarily offer healthy choices that promote healthy eating and balance at meals. During the months of June, July and August Heartland Centers including Heartland of Oregon at 3953 Navarre Ave; Heartland of Perrysburg, 10540 Fremont Pike, Perrysburg and Perrysburg Commons Retirement Center at 10542 Fremont Pike, Perrysburg will be accepting non-perishable food donations at each location. Donations will be accepted weekdays 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Preferred donation items include whole grains (whole wheat pasta, brown rice, oatmeal/oats), low-sodium canned beans or dry beans, canned chicken or fish (in water), canned juice or packed in juice and canned vegetables (low sodium or no added salt). For more information, call Kelly Ebersbach at 419-874-1931 or email kelly. ebersbach@hcr-manorcare.com.

Ohio’s summer attractions can help you live “Well Beyond 60! The weather is turning warmer and for many, thoughts are turning to the many great outdoor parks, fairs and festivals that Ohio’s communities offer. The Ohio Department of Aging, through its Steady U and Healthy U initiatives, urges all Ohioans to think health and safety while they enjoy the festivities. “Visiting a park, county fair or local festival is a great way to get exercise, make social connections, engage our minds in learning new things, and live ‘Well Beyond 60,” said Bonnie K. Burman, Sc.D., director of the department. “We want to help all Ohioans - but especially our elders - take small steps to stay safe and maximize the health benefits these events and attractions offer.” Stay falls-free Steady U Ohio, the state’s older adult falls prevention initiative encourages everyone to be mindful of falls risks while you are out and about this summer. • As much as possible, stick to paved surfaces and sidewalks. If you must walk in grass or gravel, watch the ground closely with your eyes, but keep your head up and face forward. Consider using a cane or walking stick for off-road walking. • Trash, hoses and cables in walkways can cause you to slip or trip. Watch where you are walking and do not step on or over items in your path. • Heavy crowds can affect the way you walk and cause you to trip or be knocked over. Consider attending events and attractions during off-peak times, such as early in the day and on weekdays, to avoid large crowds. • Dehydration and exhaustion can make you unsteady on your feet before you realize you feel tired or thirsty. Take frequent breaks to sit down and rest. Drink plenty of non-alcoholic liquids to stay hydrated. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related ER visits, hospitalizations and deaths among Ohioans age 60 and older. However, falls are not a normal part of aging, and most falls can be prevented. Steady U Ohio is an

initiative started by Gov. John R. Kasich that provides tips, tools and other resources to help older adults recognize and reduce falls risks and remain injury-free. Make healthy choices While you get great exercise from walking, we recognize that for many, indulging in your favorite “fair food” is part of the fun of summer events and destinations. Healthy U Ohio, the state’s chronic disease self-management program offers, advice for making healthy choices while still enjoying festival fare. • Eat a well-balanced meal before you go to ensure you have the energy you need to walk around and reduce your urge to snack on junk food. If the venue allows, bring your own food and drink so that you can tailor meals to your dietary needs. • Choose grilled, roasted and baked foods over fried fare. Seek out items that offer more vital nutrients than traditional fair food (e.g., vegetables, sweet potato fries or whole wheat bread). • Stick to small sizes for everything, and plan to share with a friend or family member. • Be mindful of your dietary needs. Take all medications and continue all dietary testing (i.e., blood sugar) as instructed. Live “Well Beyond 60!” According to the National Council on Aging, nearly three out of four older adults have a chronic health condition, such as diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure and lung disease. What we do to and for ourselves throughout the lifespan has a greater impact on our well-being than genetics. Healthy U Ohio offers several community-based and online workshops that can help you learn proven strategies to live a more active life with chronic conditions. Together, Steady U and Healthy U form the foundation of the state’s efforts to help all Ohioans live “Well Beyond 60.” To learn more visit www.aging.ohio.gov. Other tips to get the most out of Ohio’s summer destinations: • Make a budget for your visit. Know

We Have All Your Needs....

how much you expect to spend for travel, parking, admission, food, gifts and other expenses. • Contact the venue in advance to ask about discounts on admission, food or gifts for veterans, children, seniors or groups. • Call ahead to ask about wheelchair or mobility scooter rentals and prices, or if you can bring your own. Ask if there are any areas of the venue that are not accessible for people with limited mobility. • Bring any necessary medications with you in a sealed, waterproof container, along with a list of the medicines you take and dosage information. • Apply sunscreen to exposed skin and wear sunglasses or a hat with a wide brim

to protect your eyes and minimize glare. • Wear light-colored, lightweight clothing made from natural fibers. Fabrics like cotton absorb less heat from the sun, allow good air circulation and dry quickly if they get wet. • Watch for signs of dehydration and heat-related illness, such as muscle cramps, light-headedness, nausea, rapid heartbeat, flushed or clammy skin and disorientation. Seek cool environments and medical attention if you experiences symptoms. For more tips, read “Plan Safe Visits to Summer Fairs, Festivals and Vacation Destinations,” a tip sheet available on the Ohio Department of Aging’s website, aging. ohio.gov.

Bringing back the Sunday dinner Ashley McMahon from the Greater Toledo area is on a mission to see more families share sit-down Sunday dinners with their senior loved ones. The reason? New research shows that 50 percent of surveyed families living near senior relatives feel they do not share enough meals with older loved ones, losing an important family connection.* “For seniors, it’s not what’s on their plate that matters most at mealtime – it’s who is at the table with them,” said McMahon, community education coordinator of the local Home Instead Senior Care® office. “When seniors share meals with a companion, they have a better mealtime experience – both nutritionally and emotionally.” Almost 75 percent of the people surveyed said they only sit down for a family meal with senior loved ones for special occasions, events or holidays. They say a big part of the problem is time – both not having enough of it and conflicting schedules. To encourage families to make time for these meals, the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation® will donate $1 to Meals on Wheels America (up to $20,000 total

through July 31, 2015) for each person that commits to regularly scheduling family dinners at SundayDinnerPledge.com. Pledging to have a sit-down dinner with loved ones will help to ensure other seniors will have a quality meal through the Meals on Wheels program. “We hope families will make the pledge to either revive or begin new mealtime traditions with their senior loved ones,” McMahon said. “This small commitment can have a big impact on a senior’s wellbeing.” To help families across the country host their own Sunday dinner, Home Instead Senior Care has partnered with celebrity chef and mother of four Melissa d’Arabian to develop easy, nutritious recipes. Additional resources include tips for how to involve seniors in meal planning and preparation, pre- and post-dinner activities and meal plans for healthy, inexpensive meals that all generations can enjoy. For these free resources and more information on how you can bring back the Sunday dinner and reconnect with your senior loved ones, visit www. SundayDinnerPledge.com or call Home Instead Senior Care at 419-472-8181.

Tips for grandparents helping to raise children As retirement age approaches, many older adults envision themselves downsizing and moving to a quaint community to enjoy their golden years in as relaxing a fashion as possible. However, for a growing number of seniors, their retirement years are being spent helping to raise grandchildren. Although being raised by grandparents may not be the ideal situation for all parties involved, such situations are a necessity for many families. Seniors who are once again thrown into the caregiver arena may need a crash course in childcare or a few pointers on parenting in the modern age. â&#x20AC;˘ Get the right equipment.

Tips offer better communication for hearing-impaired I dedicate this article to the many patients I have who lament that they wish their family members understood what it is like to have hearing loss and wear hearing aids. It’s disheartening to hear from those who experience frustrations from family members who have unrealistic expectations. Hearing aids amplify sound so that speech is audible to the wearer, however, they are not a cure-all. They are hearing assistants and significantly improve hearing in a variety of listening situations. They do not restore hearing to 100 percent. It is important to understand that hearing loss is often accompanied with speech processing difficulties. Speech processing problems make it difficult to understand people who speak quickly. It is also difficult to understand conversation when two or more people are speaking at the same time. Hearing aids do not slow down speech, nor do they amplify one voice over another. With this in mind, there are strategies that family members and friends can use to make communication easier. Don’t talk so fast. As we age, our reflexes and processing speed slows down. This explains why it is so difficult for older people to understand young talkers who speak rapidly. When speaking to those over the age of 75, especially for those with hearing loss, it is wise to slow down your rate of speech if you want to be understood. Face the person when you are talking. Don’t turn and walk away during a conversation. Avoid talking when your head is in the refrigerator or cupboards. Do not continue to have a conversation from a different room when it is apparent that you are not being understood. Many people with hearing loss have acquired lip reading skills even if they don’t realize it or wish to admit it. Limit background noise whenever possible. Do not have important conversations in the presence of background noise as it can be a huge interference and lead to confusion. Turn down the television while conversing and choose quiet restaurants. Don’t change topics abruptly. Knowing what the topic is can lead to anticipation where the conversation is going and what will be said. Switching topics abruptly can cause confusion. Ensure that the listener knows what the topic of the conversation is before continuing. Don’t compare my hearing loss or my hearing aid results with somebody else. Just as no two pregnancies are alike, the effects of hearing loss can be vastly different. The degree, configuration, and type of hearing loss along with other factors help

determine the prognosis. We all know people who function so well with their hearing aids that you didn’t even know that they had hearing problems. Then there are those who struggle to hear even with hearing aids. It doesn’t do a bit of good to remind your spouse that Mr. So and So has hearing aids and hears just fine. If you think badgering, shaming, or humiliating your spouse will encourage him to try to hear better, think again.

Have patience and understanding. While it may be frustrating for you to have a conversation with somebody who struggles with hearing loss, consider this; it is frustrating for them to have conversations with nearly everybody. A little bit of patience can go a long way. Use word substitutions. Rather than repeat the same misunderstood word over and over, use another word that means the same thing.

Speak slightly louder than normal when necessary. However, avoid shouting as the listener interprets that as anger and hostility.

Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Offensive Player of Year

Fournier, Wolfe — two friends vie for offensive honors By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com

2015 Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Baseball

The Division III state semifinalist Genoa baseball team did not sweep the top three Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press awards, but Comets played a role in all three. After leading his team to a 24-5 season, a Northern Buckeye Conference championship and the program’s third trip to state, Coach Ron Rightnowar is hands-down the Coach of the Year, getting nearly 80 percent of votes from 11 area baseball coaches and four media members. If you’ve listened to Coach Rightnowar in the dugout, the former professional baseball pitcher has a way of picking up opposing pitcher’s weaknesses and instructing his players on how to take advantage of that at the plate. His son, senior Luke Rightnowar, is Pitcher of the Year, garnering 75 percent of votes. Luke, Genoa’s all-time career scoring leader, will play basketball at Wayne State — the same school his predecessor in leading Genoa’s all-time career scoring, 6-foot-9 Bowling Green State University standout Ron Hammye, coached at for two decades. In addition, Coach Rightnowar says his son has been given the green light by Wayne State’s basketball coach to play baseball if he is so inclined. However, it was the voting for All-Press Offensive POY that came down to two buddies — Clay shortstop Ryan Fournier and Genoa catcher Nick Wolfe, both seniors. The two combined received all but two votes for All-Press Offensive POY — over 90 percent. Fournier edged Wolfe by three votes, but Wolfe did get Northern Buckeye Conference Offensive POY. “He’s put a lot of time into it, a lot of work,” Ron Rightnowar said. “He and Ryan Fournier worked in the offseason together, and they just put a lot of time into it. They went out and played ball and got better and got more consistent.” That was after both had down seasons their junior seasons, relatively speaking. Fournier still hit .398 as a junior on his way to all-conference and all-district honors. In addition to his exploits on the diamond, Fournier also has three letters as a running back on the football team and earned four straight all-academic awards from the Three Rivers Athletic Conference. This year, Fournier batted .455 and Wolfe hit .462. The two combined for five home runs and 57 RBIs. “I have not been really a power hitter my last couple years, but I hit three (HR) this year, and it’s always nice to get a couple out of the park sometimes,” Fournier said. Beyond baseball However, Fournier says his relationship with Wolfe goes beyond the baseball field. Fournier says he and Wolfe hang out on the weekends, and occasionally Fournier heads to Wolfe’s house for dinner during the week. He says, humbly, that it’s only a coincidence that the two buddies led their respective conferences in hitting this season. “His family is just awesome,” Fournier said. “I love his family, they treat me like another son and he’s like a brother to me. We do not play summer ball together, but in the offseason we get together and hit

Ryan Fournier. (Photo by Lifetouch formerly Woodard Photographic) here and there,” Fournier said. “I mean, when we hang out, we just hang out. Keep it loose. We talk about baseball — we talk about how we are doing, how he is doing this season. I’ve been to a couple of his games and he’s been to a couple of my games.” Fournier sees more in the game of baseball than your typical every day sports fan. He understands it like someone who has season tickets to a professional ballclub. “I’ve always loved baseball,” Fournier said. “When I was in fifth grade and even before that, I was like, ‘Oh I want to be a football player.” When I started to get up into seventh and eighth grade and started to pick up my baseball skills a little bit more, I was like, ‘Wow, I really love this game.’ These past three years, especially,

baseball has opened up so many opportunities for me. You meet so many people. It’s just an amazing experience that I can’t wait to continue it. “It’s not just a run and gun sport, it’s such a mental game. You really have to deal with your head, and it’s such a team sport as well. Everybody on your team has to be into the game, or your team is not going to do very well. There is so much going on in our heads out there — you have to know what you are doing with the ball, where you are moving — everything. It’s just a sport where you have to be in tune with your head, you really have to keep your emotions under check, and you have to be very fundamentally sound to succeed at baseball.” Fournier is disappointed that his sen-

ior year Clay finished just one game over .500 at 14-13, including fifth place in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference tournament, but there was a fine line between winning and losing games this year. “It’s a little disappointing because of all the potential, all the talent we have on the team, I would have liked to see us do a lot better,” Fournier said. “We had a good season — we lost a lot of one run games. They were really tight games we should have won, and we gave up some unearned runs that gave us the loss.” Fournier’s coach, Clay alum Jim Phillips, has watched the shortstop grow into the player he is — well deserving of his NCAA Division I scholarship to play

Another Pendleton makes waves on national scene By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com First-year Ohio State women’s track and field throw coach Ashley Muffett Duncan sat down with several Buckeyes and talked about their goals for the upcoming 2015 outdoor season. “Making Nationals was at the top of my list,” said senior Carly Pendleton, a 2011 Woodmore graduate. Pendleton realized her goal to advance to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships June 10-13 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. She competed in the discus for OSU, finishing 23rd out of 24 competitors. She will graduate from OSU in August with a degree in strategic communications. “I was so happy I was able to do it,” she said of her first performance at Nationals, “and I’ll never forget the experience.” Pendleton comes from a long line of standout throwers – particularly in the discus – in her family. Her older sisters, Emily and Erin, threw at the University of Michigan and qualified to the national meet seven times between them. Younger sister Megan, who will be a junior at Eastern Michigan this fall, broke the school record in the discus last season. The Pendletons’ father, Mike, taught all of his children how to throw the discus. Well enough, obviously, so that all four daughters earned college track and field scholarships. Carly was the 2011 Division III state meet discus champion, while Emily still holds the all-time state record she set in 2007 (183-3). Erin set D-III state meet and Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium records in 2008 (168-10). “I really want to thank everyone who has ever supported me the last 10 years,” Carly said. “No way I could have accomplished this without the support of everyone, including my family and especially my dad. My dad was the one who got me involved in throwing and got me through the crazy teenage years where I didn’t want to listen to him. He was that driving force who

(Photo courtesy Ohio State Athletics) made it possible for me to go to college.” Carly called her experience in Eugene “absolutely incredible.” She arrived with the rest of the Ohio State squad on June 9 and left on June 13, the same day she competed. “I haven’t been to that facility (Hayward Field) before, let alone the state,” she said. “I thought the stadium would be

bigger than it was. It was really beautiful; a great facility. I got to go around and try the different foods in Eugene. There were a whole bunch of Mom and Pop places near the track that are really good to eat at. I got to experience that, so that was awesome.” Pendleton qualified to Nationals by throwing a career-best 168-3 at the NCAA East Regional May 28-30 in Jacksonville,

Fla. Twelve discus throwers advanced to Nationals out of the East Regional. “The highlight of my career was at regionals, when I PR’d for the first time since high school,” Pendleton said. “It had been such a long time since I PR’d. It was getting down to the wire. The No. 1 moment in my sports career was me PR’ing in college.” Pendleton’s best throw in college in the weight throw was 58-4, and her best hammer throw was 177 feet. Her career-best discus throw came on her very first attempt at the regional meet. “This year they had regionals set up differently than in the past,” she said. “In the past you would get three throws in prelims and three more in the finals. This year they eliminated the finals completely. That format affected me a lot. “I would normally start the meet with a ‘safety’ throw, where you give 80 percent effort just to get a safe one in, then throw 100 percent. I was (rated) 45th in the region coming in, so I knew I would have to throw a PR. So, right off the bat I had to throw 100 percent. I was incredibly nervous - not when I was competing, but sitting in the stands watching the other girls throw.” Pendleton’s opening throw in Eugene was 155-6, and she was unable to surpass that distance on her final two throws. She did not make the finals. “Given the conditions, I threw really well for how windy it was,” said Pendleton, a left-hander. “The way the wind was blowing, if I got the lip (of the discus) up, the wind would take the entire discus straight up. I had to be really conscious of the height I was releasing it. I’ve been practicing really well the past month and a half. I thought I would go into the meet and throw another PR. That was a goal for me. I wasn’t able to do that, but I was really excited I got to go out and make it in the first place.” Carly looks forward to graduating in August and, hopefully, finding a job in public relations or advertising. She minored in business at OSU. “This new chapter of my life is starting with an intense job search,” she said. “I can’t say I have any regrets. I really enjoyed Ohio State and the experience I had here.”

Eastwood continues its all-sports award dominance By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Eastwood took both the boys and girls Northern Buckeye Conference all-sports championship this year. Bolstered by team titles in football and girls cross country, and sweeping both boys and girls track championships, Eastwood put up 88 points toward the all-sports standings. Eastwood has won every NBC allsports championship every year since the league’s existence, although no trophy is given for it, and also dominated the allsports standings during the last decade of the Suburban Lakes League. Athletic Director Jeff Hill sent an email to the community regarding the school getting the league’s most points, not expecting much media coverage and trying to remain humble. “I do think it is important to know that there is a deep determination and pride among all of our coaches and student/athletes to compete at the highest level in everything that we do and this achievement is a very good example of that and a tribute to all of them for all of their hard work before, during, and after their sport seasons,” Hill wrote. “It goes back to a quote that I have had hanging in my office for as long as I can remember and it says, ‘We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act but a habit.’ “This achievement is not the result of our kids just being good athletes. It comes from the work ethic that they exhibit every day, year round. If you don’t believe me, then stop in the high school on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning before school or after school to see how full our weight and conditioning room is with student-athletes working hard to make themselves better. Watch this summer as we have full gyms or fields of athletes getting ready for next school year in their respective sport or sports as we have many that will be preparing for multiple sport seasons,” Hill continued. “It also comes from the dedicated, hard working coaches that we have working with our kids on a daily basis. ” Otsego (76½) was runner-up, followed

The Press Box closely by Genoa (76), Lake (68), Elmwood (67½), Rossford (65), Woodmore (58½) and Fostoria (27½). Genoa won championships in wrestling and baseball. Lake won a girls’ soccer title and shared the boys’ basketball trophy with Rossford. In the Sandusky Bay Conference, Oak Harbor girls finished third with 37 points and the boys finished fourth, scoring 44 points in all-sports standings. Oak Harbor boys titles came in soccer, wrestling, and track, while girls titles were in tennis (shared with Port Clinton), soccer (shared with Huron) and track. Perkins swept the boys (59½) and girls (57½) allsports trophies. Next year will be the last year for the SBC in its current seven-team format, and then starting in 2016-17, Tiffin Calvert leaves the Toledo Area Athletic Conference and Vermilion leaves the West Shore Conference, both joining the SBC. Also coming in are six members from the Sandusky River League and the SBC will be divided into Bay and River divisions.

Gose adds Gold Glove to résumé Casey Gose (Genoa) has added another award to his collection after his successful freshman season for the Owens Community College baseball team. The second baseman was named to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region XII Gold Glove team. Gose is one of two freshmen on the nine player team and the only player from Owens. He had only two errors over 98 chances in the field, while adding 48 putouts and 48 assists. Offensively, he hit .354 with 40 runs, nine doubles, 24 RBI and 11 stolen bases over 47 games. Gose was previously named First Team All-Ohio Community College Athletic Conference (OCCAC), and he was the only player from the Owens baseball team to

Coffield heads to Adrian

Dorothy Gackstetter earn OCCAC Player of the Week honors (April 12). Academically, Gose was also a member of the OCCAC’s All-Academic team with a 3.90 GPA. Gose also credits Genoa coach Ron Rightnowar, a former Major League pitcher who took over Genoa’s program during Gose’s sophomore year, for instilling the right mindset. “Coach Ron definitely helped me with my mentality towards the game. It was the mental aspect — he taught me that not everything is going to go your way and you have to realize that. You’re not going to have a great game every single time. You have to go with the flow, keep pushing and keep working at it.” In 2015, the Owens baseball team went 23-25, captured the Sub-Region XII tournament championship and finished third in the Region XII tournament. It was the program’s best postseason finish since 2007. (— by Nicholas Huenefeld/Owens Sports Information and Press contributing writer Yaneek Smith)

Zach Coffield (Eastwood) will play baseball at Adrian College next year. Coffield, a sophomore catcher who transferred to Owens Community College following his freshman year from Tiffin University, played in 40 games for the Express this past year. He batted 28-for-122 (.230) with 19 runs, four doubles, two triples, 13 RBI, 10 walks and two stolen bases. He also posted a .329 on base percentage. Coffield is the third player from this year’s team to sign with a four-year school. He joins Payton Scott (Indiana Wesleyan University, NAIA) and Blake Kuszmaul (Concordia University, NAIA). In 2015, the Owens baseball team went 23-25, captured the Sub-Region XII tournament championship and finished third in the Region XII tournament. It was the program’s best postseason finish since 2007. Adrian College is an NCAA Division III school. The Bulldogs finished 33-12 overall last year and captured the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) championship with a 23-5 record.

Waite baseball, Nick Jensen, celebrate winless season By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Most teams don’t celebrate an 0-25 season. Waite baseball is celebrating, but firstyear coach John Segura expects it to get better. Senior catcher Nick Jensen is Waite’s only selection on the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Baseball Team, making second team, but sophomore pitcher Jace Gutierrez was only vote away from making second team despite not winning a game. That means 11 area coaches know and respect what those two can bring on a baseball diamond, and Segura was the only Toledo City League coach voting. Making their award even more special is they led athletes who had little experience on a baseball field. “As far as a lack of beginner’s skills that you learn from just playing the game all the time, we had a heck of a season,” Jensen said. “We had a great season from that aspect, but it didn’t show in the win column.” Segura says one of the reasons his team got through the season, and can even celebrate, is because of Jensen. “He’s a great kid — one of the best kids you’ll ever meet,” Segura said. “He’s the reason we had a season. The kids never quit. There wasn’t a game where the kids packed it in and left. The kids fought every game, down 10-0, 15-0, they believed that they could win every game. “He is what you call a true leader. Coaching at Northwood for seven years and watching my kids grow up, there are only a couple other guys I’ve seen like that, and that’s guys like (former Northwood standouts) Nick Russell, Nick Whitmore, where they walk into a room and people’s attitudes change. They try to perform for him and get better for him, and he works his butt off and he led by example this year,” Segura said. “It was amazing to watch him. The first day we came into the gym when we were doing winter workouts, he would make them do push ups and they wouldn’t say a word. They’d just do them.” Jensen carried a 4.2 GPA and was ranked fourth in his class. He not only plays baseball, but also wrestles and was a key player on Waite’s first City championship football team since 1963, sharing the title with cross river rival Scott. He was elected the team captain in every sport, a Buckeye Boys State delegate and hopes to eventually land a place at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, if he can get the appointment. His stats speak for themselves, batting .333 with a .438 on-base percentage, and he was an obvious choice for first team AllCity. He also pitched when Segura needed him. Talking to Jensen is like talking to Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James when he was a senior at Akron St. VincentSt. Mary — you feel like you are talking to an 18-year-old who is already a well-matured adult. It kind of shocks you to hear that and sets him apart at the same time. “The baseball season didn’t go as everyone wanted it to,” Jensen said. “We played with a lot of new kids. We played with only three returning varsity players, including two that actually played (he and Wagner), so it was really hard. “You can’t put experience in a kit.

Waite senior and the team's undisputed leader, southpaw Nick Jensen pitches in a loss, of course, at Eastwood. (Press file photo by Russ Lytle/ Facebook. com/ RussLytle/ RHP) You can teach them everything you know about baseball,” Jensen continued. “You can teach pitching locations, everything, but you can’t put experience where there is none. I think that was our biggest downfall this year, where we just had a whole bunch of kids who are fresh off JV or fresh off of never playing before, but who came out and are general athletes who can play.” Jensen says showing up to practice and finding yourself in a leadership position is not something he takes lightly.

“I don’t think anybody really wakes up thinking, ‘You know, I’m going to be a leader this year. I’m going to be a leader today,’” Jensen said. “I think I knew how to communicate with the kids. The east side is a pretty tight-knit area, we all have a sense of community with us, and I know what these kids go through. “I know what it’s like to have a single parent household. I know what it’s like to have a rough home life and that sort of thing. I mean, it’s really easy for me to con-

nect. And, when you can connect over a medium such as baseball, where it’s nothing but fun, when it comes for hard work, it’s nothing harder than your everyday grind anyways. “So, I don’t remember ever a time having the thought of, ‘Oh, I’m going to be a leader today.’ I guess it just comes out that way to coaches and authority figures, where I’m just talking to my guys. I want to win, I want them to win, and we win together. We can never win apart.” While he awaits his hopeful appointment to the academy, he will study aerospace engineering at the University of Akron beginning this fall. Ultimately he wants to be a pilot, or have some responsibility in the field. “I’ve always wanted to be a pilot. For about the last year, I’ve wanted to fly jets and planes. If something happens to me between now and the time that I become part of the service that I can’t fly, and I can’t be part of planes and helicopters, I figure what’s the next best thing besides making planes safer and better for people who come after me,” Jensen said. Jensen was not the only Waite senior baseball team to perform well in the classroom — baseball and soccer player Orlando Haynes carried a 4.32 GPA and was ranked third in his class. Gutierrez carried a 4.57 ERA in 52 innings with 45 strikeouts and 22 walks and was All-City honorable mention, and junior outfielder Brandon Wagner had a .301 on-base percentage and was second team All-City. Both are HM All-Press. Freshman Anselmo Padia and senior Scott Hawkins are HM All-City. “I get three of those kids back. I go from a team that had two kids with varsity experience to a team that has eight kids with continuous varsity experience,” Segura said.

Fournier, Wolfe — two friends vie for honors (continued from page 18 ) baseball at Xavier University next year. “I can’t say enough good things about him. I coached him three of the last four years,” Phillips said. “One year I was over at St. John’s, but we had him over on our junior varsity two years ago, and then I’ve had him on varsity the last couple years with me. It’s been nice to see him grow as a player and as a person. I couldn’t be happier for him that he had the season he had. “Last year, we were at 10-18, so that would be a big turnaround for us — a big step in the right direction and I think he’s big part of that with his leadership and stuff like that,” Phillips continued. “Plus, he’s really been a big part of our defensive stuff and what we’re trying to do. He’s just a very well-rounded kid, great person. He’s very, very talented all the way around.” Phillips, along with Woodmore coach Jacob Huss and Cardinal Stritch coach Craig Meinzer, received one vote each for All-Press Coach of the Year — the only three votes Ron Rightnowar did not get. Phillips is Clay’s fifth head baseball coach in the program’s history, which spans eight decades. He’s glad to be coaching at his alma mater, but now, he wants to see the program get back to the top. “I love it. It’s something that I’ve always kind of wanted to do, getting into

coaching and that type of stuff,” Phillips said. “I think it puts a little more pressure on me because you want to do well and those types of things. I’m not saying it’s not important when you are a head coach anywhere, but I think when you are at your alma mater, there’s a little more pressure just because it’s the school you went to. A lot of guys have won a lot of games here, that’s for sure.” He said the difference between his team and TRAC league champion St. Francis de Sales was that the Knights did the little things right. Both of Clay’s losses to the Knights came in tight games. “The big thing with them honestly is, (first team All-TRAC pitcher Nick) Lankard is OK, but they don’t beat themselves and they manufacture runs. They have a very grind it out style. The big thing with their pitching staff, and they do a nice job with that, is that they don’t walk guys. You know how important that is at the high school level,” Phillips said. “We played two games with them and we lost 5-2 and 1-0, and I don’t think they walked a guy in either game. They are not going to beat themselves. Do they have a guy in the middle of their lineup like Ryan? No. Do they have a pitcher like a (former Clay pitcher) Jordan Grosjean? No. But they are just solid through the lineup and they don’t give at bats up and that type of stuff.”

Szypka leaves Kentucky as two-time All-American By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com When Curtice native Brad Szypka started competing for the University of Kentucky track team four years ago, he probably wouldn’t have expected to graduate as a two-time All-American. Now, it’s a reality. Szypka, a 2011 Genoa graduate, got to Lexington and started competing against some of the nation’s best in the Southeastern Conference, and he quickly realized that having won a state shot put championship in high school didn’t set him apart. As Szypka put it, he was among the “best of the best” and had to start at the bottom of the totem pole after reaching the highest of highs in high school. He persevered and began to hit his stride as a junior at UK, winning the SEC Indoor title in the shot put with a throw of 63 feet, 10½ inches and finished third in the outdoor competition earlier this month with a toss of 63-9. In March, Szypka, who graduated with a degree in education, had a throw of 63-6 at the NCAA Division I national indoor competition, good enough to finish fifth and earn All-American honors. He still remembers what it was like coming in as a freshman and experiencing something of a reality check. “My freshman year was a little difficult because the coach I was recruited by left before I even got to college, so I was left with many unknowns. After I got my new coach, I started to learn that this wasn’t high school anymore and that almost all the athletes were state champions from where they came,” Szypka said. “It was kind of a wake-up call because now I understood that being the best in high school meant nothing. Now I’m with the best of the best and I will have to work

Brad Szypka. (Photo courtesy University of Kentucky Athletic Department) even harder to get to the top. My freshman year was the time I began to understand I was back at the bottom of the totem pole

and that I had to work even harder to get to the top. “I got to this point by simply working hard and chasing my dreams. My new coach (Andrew Ninow) came in during my sophomore year from Stanford and really elevated me from mediocre to great. He inspired me to always want more and to never be satisfied with where I am. He is the sole reason I got to where I am today. With his guidance and my teammates’ support, I was able to achieve feats that I never thought would happen.” That was just the “throwing” part of his life. Being a college athlete at a major program like Kentucky requires an incredible amount of time and effort, leaving less time for studying, a reality with which student-athletes must deal. Szypka notes that he and other athletes must attend mandatory tutoring sessions after practice and get required hours of studying to help make up for missed classroom time. “We do not have the pleasure of coming home after work and relax. It was more difficult to be a student than an athlete from my perspective,” Szypka said. “Students have the pleasure of not showing up to school when they’re sick, We (athletes) must attend class even if we’re sick. We hold a reputation for our school and are constantly being watched by administrators and outsiders. It adds a lot of pressure. “I have loved every second of it, but ii has not been easy and a lot of people crumble under the pressure put on them.” Szypka says one of his most memorable experiences was during his sophomore year when he competed at the University of Oregon during the NCAA Championships. “My favorite memory was going to Eugene for the first time and seeing 11,000 people in the stands watching me and cheering me on,” he said. “It’s truly a special place for track and field athletes.” Szypka will continue training during

the summer for a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team and plans on attending graduate school in the fall. Szypka also benefited from the guidance of his parents, Andrew and Julie. Andy was one of Genoa’s top athletes in his day, graduating in 1980 as the football team’s all-time leading rusher and is a member of the Genoa Hall of Fame. He and his wife have ardently supported their son and daughter, Shana, a 2007 Genoa graduate who led the softball team to the Division III final four as a junior and later pitched at the University of Toledo. Shana is currently the pitching coach for Oak Harbor and has been instrumental in the development of their two young pitchers, Emma Bergman and Ashley Riley. Brad is grateful for the support his parents have shown both he and Shana. He credits them for paying for Shana’s softball lessons when she was younger and for paying for his throwing sessions with University of Findlay throwing coach Justin Carvalho. Szypka notes that his mother got a second job while he was in high school to help pay for those sessions. “I always looked at my parents with Dad as the coach and Mom as the cheerleader,” he said. “He pushed us to believe and my mom supported our decisions. They combined to help my sister and I realize that we can do anything with hard work and a strong mentality. And my parents were not afraid to take risks. (Paying for our softball and throwing lessons) easily could have backfired if you think about it because what if one of us did not make it to the next level? We would’ve wasted all that money on the training. They believed in us more than we believed in ourselves. This is the environment in our household — if you have a dream, you chase it, and the family will do whatever is necessary to make sure it becomes a reality. Without them, there is not UT (for Shana) or UK (for me).”

Weirich, DeWalt honored for ‘Respecting the Game’ By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com In four years competing for Oak Harbor, Cole Weirich and Karis DeWalt established themselves as standout-athletes. However, they were also known to their teammates and opponents for displaying sportsmanship on and off the field. Weirich and DeWalt, who graduated this spring, were given the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s Archie Griffin Sportsmanship Award at the school’s spring sports banquet, a chance for the two of them to be recognized for some of the finer things athletics has to offer — the ability to form bonds and friendships with your opponents while competing at a high level against one another. It’s safe to say that both athletes embodied the award’s motto, “Respect the Game.” “Both kids are first class individuals who were fantastic role models both academically and athletically at Oak Harbor,” Oak Harbor athletic director Drew Grahl said. “They both helped a lot with our Rocket Pride program and represented our school well in exemplary fashion for their entire careers.” DeWalt was named the Sandusky Bay Conference’s Player of the Year in soccer and was part of four relay teams that placed at the state track meet in the last two seasons. In all, the soccer and track teams won a combined six league titles during her three years competing as a varsity Rocket. “I was raised big on respecting oth-

Karis DeWalt at far right with her track relay teammates Athena Eli, Annie Quisno, and Abby Dornbusch. (Photo courtesy of Rebecca Eli) ers and respecting yourself and you’ll do well,” said DeWalt, who grew up in a military family. “Seeing ‘Respect the Game’ on the top of the scholarship made me happy. It was nice to see that Cole and I were recognized. “It was a great accomplishment to receive the award. I was happy that I was given the award and it gave me a little pride and I hope it gave the school some pride. It’s a great way to teach others and show others that it’s important to be big on respect. We showed respect and sports-

manship and hopefully we gave others an idea of how to maintain those relationships and display good character.” Weirich played football, basketball and ran track, earning nine letters. He was a standout in football as a wide receiver, but his best sport was track, where he ran the sprint events. Weirich was a regional finalist in the 100 meters for the second straight year and just missed out on advancing to state in two relays, the 4x200 with Isaiah Jefferson, DeShawn Johnson and Nick Damron; and

the 4x100 with Jefferson, Johnson and Thomas Loope. The 4x200 quartet finished fifth at regionals in 1:31.36, just .89 of a second behind Norwayne and the 4x100 relay was sixth in 43.84. The 4x800 relay, which included Weirich, Mark Bodi, Tyler Sievert and Collin Hayslett, was eighth in 3:33.25. All the while, Weirich was never too big to acknowledge his opponents and display sportsmanship while competing. “It was great,” Weirich said. “I was happy to receive the award, it means a lot. To receive the award, it’s means a lot because all the hard work you’ve put in matters. It should mean a lot to anyone to receive this award; it’s a great feeling to have. I’m friends with some of the kids I’ve run against. As much as a I want to beat them, I want them to succeed, too.” This year, Weirich was instrumental in helping the Rocket’s boys track team win its first league title in 30 years. He won the 100 (10.9) and was part of two relay teams — the 4x100 and 4x200 — that finished first, and another, the 4x400, which came in third. For his efforts, he was named the SBC’s Most Outstanding Performer. Now, Weirich is considering running track at the collegiate level. “It’s been great,” Weirich said of his athletic career. “High school sports are going to be something that I’ll probably remember for the rest of my life. It goes fast — I hope the kids now enjoy it because it goes fast. I really haven’t had time to think about how I’m done with football, basketball and then track because you move on to the next thing. It doesn’t hit you.”

Sievert, Rocket relay teams celebrating state finish By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Tyler Sievert wanted to represent his teammates well at the Division II state track meet, and it’s safe to say he did. The Oak Harbor senior, who had never qualified for state before, moved up five spots in the final two laps to finish seventh in the 1600-meter run, finishing in four minutes, 22.17 seconds and earn a spot on the podium. He and girls relay teams are now looking back at a record setting season. Sievert was joined at state by two Rocket relay teams, the girls’ 4x100 & 4x400, which finished sixth and eighth, respectively, making it the second consecutive year in which Oak Harbor had athletes placing well. Any athlete who qualified is honored on this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Track Honor Roll. It was the finish of Sievert’s athletic career. He played four sports for the duration and lettered in every one, 14 in all — cross country, soccer, basketball and track. Sievert earned first team Sandusky Bay Conference honors in three — cross country, soccer and track — and second team honors in basketball. He led the soccer team to two SBC titles, the track team to a league title this year and was 34th at the Division II state cross country meet as a junior. Sievert, who will continue his cross country and track career at Ashland University, said it was good to finish his career by reaching the podium in the 1600. “I tried to start to pack it in (towards the end) of the second lap and then I went from 12th to ninth,” Sievert said. “On that last lap, I tried to get that last kick going. Going in, my goal (to reach the podium), and with about 600 meters left, it started to become a reality. I started to go for it and it worked out well. “It meant everything. It was a perfect way for me to end my career. I dropped 10 seconds (in the 1600) in the last three meets, (and) that’s how I wanted it to happen. We had a good team this year and I wanted to represent my teammates here. I know a lot of my teammates were extreme-

the three that finished in the top eight last year. The 4x100 quartet of Rayburn, Alexa Weis, Karis DeWalt and Athena Eli was sixth in 49.99 and DeWalt and Eli teamed with Annie Quisno and Abby Dornbusch to lead the 4x400 to an eighth-place finish in 4:04.52. Rayburn, who was on two of three relays teams that placed at state last year, says she enjoyed competing against the state’s best. “I’m happy with how we did,” she did. “I think it’s a big accomplishment and we showed that we can compete with the top teams in the state. I knew it would be harder to place as high (this year) with the competition and the lower times.” It was quite an accomplishment for the relays to place, considering that one of their top runners, Allie Jett, was unable to compete in the postseason after sustaining a quad injury at the SBC tournament. “We’ve had a lot of struggles as far as injuries go,” said DeWalt, who will play soccer this fall at the University of Findlay. “I really started to worry when Allie Jett got hurt because she’s our security blanket. When she went down with an injury, I started to panic a little bit, but the rest of the team stepped up and we found our alternates and they did such a great job to get us back to state.” The 4x400 relay nearly missed out on qualifying for state after coming in third in the final race at the regional meet. But because two runners from other teams, who were well behind the front pack, tripped

over one another, the officials decided to have a re-run, making Oak Harbor’s qualification moot. DeWalt and Eli did not run in the second go-around and were replaced by Weis and Andrea Cecil, who came through and helped the Rockets to finish second in the final run. Dornbusch saved the day, moving from fifth to second in the final 150 meters of the race to get her team to state. “It was a very emotional 4x400 — Alexa and Andrea thought they were done competing,” DeWalt said. “We had to pull them out of that mindset and get their spikes back on; just that alone, that was a huge accomplishment for those two just to be pulled away and they had to completely change their mindset. I’m thankful that they were willing to do that because it gave me my last 4x400 race. They’re amazing girls, they’re great teammates and I’m glad I got to share the season with them; they got the team back down to state.” Eli, who was on all five of the relays that placed in the last two years, also talked about what Jett, who joined her on the three relays from last season that placed at state, meant to the program. “She’s meant a lot to our team,” Eli said. “To see her (hurt) so suddenly and so fast was heart-breaking for her and our team. She was certainly missed this year but we tried to make her proud and get our relays back to state. I think she was happy to see us there but I know she was hurting inside because she wanted to be in those races with us. She will definitely be missed.”
