Clay High saves $43,343

Wind fills 100% of energy load Since the electrical connection on October 20, 2012, the PW 56 wind turbine at Clay High School has been generating as much energy as the campus uses.

According to a school press release, the district has saved $43,343 from the Clay turbine and two turbines at Eisenhower Middle School.

The electrical output of Clay’s 900 kilowatt turbine has provided an average campus demand of 6,036 kilowatts per day, generating between 75 percent (December 2012) and over 101 percent (February 2013) of demand. The turbine has been producing an average of 100.8 percent of the electricity needed from renewable wind power for the Clay campus during eight months of activity.

“This far exceeds our conservation estimate at 85 percent,” said Clay environmental science and biology teacher Dennis Slotnick. “Furthermore, with over 100 hours of survey for downed birds and bats, no evidence exists that our wind turbine poses a threat to wildlife.”

Seeds planted in places such as Oregon, Ohio...are beginning to grow.

“

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com

Last month, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) included Oregon City Schools in his Earth Day proclamation to President Barack Obama.

“Seeds planted in places such as Oregon, Ohio...are beginning to grow,” the proclamation stated, talking about the district’s partnership with the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority to transition from traditional electricity to wind and solar.

“And these innovative investments have paid off,” the proclamation continued, “This means less acid rain-causing sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide going into the air...

This innovation and activism marks tremen-

dous progress toward a more sustainable environment.

“If we fail to protect our natural resources, we risk the health of citizens, the viability of our coastal areas, and the productivity of our state’s farms, forests and fisheries. We risk our long-term economic and national security. Yet we know that choosing between economic growth and environmental protections is a false choice.”

Brown met with approximately 160 Oregon City School District students and teachers, as well as Tom Susor, City of Oregon Council President.

“Oregon City School District administrators, teachers, parents – and especially students – are working to improve our environment. I am proud that Ohio is home to schools that are taking steps to protect our environment for current and future generations,” Brown said. “Schools that work to reduce environment-related health issues are doing their part to provide students with an environment where learning is the primary focus.”

Eisenhower School has an even longer track record than Clay for electrical produc-

Automated photo speed and red light enforcement traffic cameras at two intersections in Northwood have been deactivated.

“I’m convinced that there are still four votes on council against renewing the contract for the traffic cameras. They are not wavering,” City Administrator Bob Anderson said of city council last week.

Since the city’s three year contract with Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc., expired on April 23, Anderson said there is no reason for the cameras to continue catching motorists speeding or running red lights. The strobe lights emitted by the cameras, which caused speeding motorists to cringe as they crossed the intersections, are no more.

“We don’t have a contract now, the system is not operating,” said Anderson.

City council on May 9 tabled the vote on whether to renew the city’s contract with Redflex to continue operating the cameras because council wanted all seven members to be present to vote on the measure, and Councilman Mike Myers was not in attendance. At subsequent meetings, there was at least one council member missing. At the most recent council meeting on June 13, several members did not attend.

“We, in essence, by putting it off, have made a decision,” Anderson said. “So whether they just don’t sign a contract and keep it tabled forever, or vote not to renew the contract, the result is the same: The red light traffic cameras are not operating.”

Anderson said he told Police Chief Tom Cairl to inform the company following the expiration of the contract that the cameras were to issue “no more tickets.”

“There will never be a ticket issued from the time that contract expired. The contract ended, and it wasn’t fair when we knew the vote on council to renew the contract was 4-3 against. I knew the sentiment.

Council has spoken, basically. I’m in favor of the cameras. But I just don’t think it was the right thing to do, as the public safety director, to operate it while we don’t have a

Marinas, boaters benefit from canal dredging

Cameras Continued from front page

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com About 1,400 boaters, including 573 at Meinke Marina and 419 at Anchor Pointe Marina, are again able to navigate Cooley Canal to reach Lake Erie waters, thanks to the completion of a $300,000 dredging project.

That includes hundreds more that annually use Lucas County’s public dock on Cooley Canal, located in Jerusalem Township.

The problem began last summer when boats were getting stuck on sandbars and had to be towed. The reason — lake levels have dropped, says Paul Ashburn, board member and officer for Anchor Pointe. “Last year was the first year in recorded history, according to the Corps of Engineers, that Lake Erie did not see a seasonal rise in the spring,� Ashburn said. “It never went up last year for the first time since they started recording that in 1918. “Last summer, it became very apparent that Cooley Canal was in trouble. I took my boat out for the first time, and the week after the fourth of July, I got out of the east side of the channel without any problem.

But when I came back in on the west side, I almost stalled my engines after I hit sandbars. Had I stalled, I would have blocked the channel. “We actually had to pull the boat out of the water two days later to make sure we didn’t structurally damage the bottom of the boat,� Ashburn continued. “Last year, any boat much above three foot draft would have been in trouble. The worry was this year we were going to have lower water yet.�

Since then, Lucas County secured a Recreational Harbor Evaluation Program Grant offered annually by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to complete the dredging.

Without the dredging, the loss in revenue to the local economy would have been about $2.5 million because of its affect not only on the marinas, which would have lost tens of thousands of dollars, but also on local restaurants, bait shops, charter fisherman, and other related businesses.

contract,� said Anderson.

Council had been debating the issue for the last several months.

Council members James Barton, Dean Edwards, Ed Schimmel, and Randy Kozina continue to be firmly opposed to renewing the contract. Council members in favor of renewing the contract are Connie Hughes, Dave Gallaher, and Myers.

Council approved a contract with Redflex in 2005 to install and operate the cameras at the intersections of Woodville and Lemoyne roads, and Wales and Oregon roads.

The city and Redflex, located in Arizona, shared a percentage of the revenue from traffic citations issued as a result of the cameras, which have caught thousands of motorists speeding or going through red lights since they were installed.

Fines were $110. Violators did not get points on their licenses.

Since the cameras were installed, the city collected a total of $989,699.18 in fines, which were earmarked to fund safety improvement projects, such as the construction of a continuous right turn lane at Oregon and Wales roads.

Opponents of the cameras said they have hurt business, that they were used as a way for the city to increase revenue, and that a higher percentage of fines left the local economy for Arizona.

Supporters, including Mayor Mark Stoner and Cairl, said the cameras were a deterrent to speeding and running red lights, and that revenue from the fines had funded many safety improvement projects in the city that would have otherwise not been made.

Cairl had also provided statistics to council that showed there were fewer accidents at those intersections since the cameras were installed.

During a 14-minute press conference Thursday, 12 boats, like this one, passed through Cooley Canal that couldn’t before the dredging. (Press photo by J. Patrick Eaken) About 20 charter fishing operations operate out of Cooley Canal.

In 2013, marina officials estimated that over 130,000 gallons of diesel fuel were sold to boaters using the canal and 3,000 jobs are supported by access to the lake.

Without the dredging, the marinas would have had to close, or restrict access to boats that could draw one foot or less of water, such as jet skis. Boats needing three to four feet of water would be able to pass at times, and five foot or more may have had to find new docks. Plus, it became a safety issue. “We had to put those in categories because they wanted to know, ‘What is the percentage of boats that couldn’t use the canal in its presence state?’� Ashburn said. “We came up with between 35 and 40 percent of the boats, or fewer, could not get out.

“The biggest problem was the safety factor. We showed (ODNR officials) nine photographs of (Meinke owner) Vernon Meinke pulling sailboats and power boats off sandbars right at the entrance of the canal. The point we made while we were in Columbus was, if we would have had a storm you would have had 400 boats on the lake fishing, which is typical for a Saturday or Sunday summer afternoon, and those boats blocked the canal, someone is going to get hurt.�

Meinke Marina also has about 400 dock slips on Ward Canal in Metzger’s Marsh, but Ashburn estimates only about 20 boats are docked because a build-up of sediment there has made it impassable.

At a press conference Thursday morning, county commissioner Tina Skeldon Wozniak addressed that issue, also.

Lake Twp.

Trustees question shooting ranges

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A Lake Township trustee is repeating his request for an opinion from the Wood County Prosecutor’s office on what zoning resolutions a township can enforce to regulate shooting ranges – but with a slight change.

In a previous letter, Richard Welling asked the prosecutor’s office if there are zoning regulations a township can enforce regarding the discharge of firearms.

The office of Paul Dobson confirmed it had received the letter and said an opinion would be provided in about eight weeks.

Welling last week composed another letter he feels better reflects the concerns of township residents.

His letter, dated June 17, asks: “Are there any zoning resolutions/rules that the township can enforce/enact regarding the establishment of safe firing ranges in platted subdivisions?”

Last December, a Plumey Road resident told trustees he was concerned about a private range near his home.

He said he could hear what sounded like semi-automatic rifles being fired and questioned whether the range’s backstop was suited for such weaponry.

Adding to his concerns, he had built a ball field on his property where his grandchildren play.

Police chief Mark Hummer told the resident that officers have responded to complaints about shooting ranges in the township but are limited in what they can do, adding if officers can prove recklessness on the part of those at a range, charges will be filed.

Responding to a complaint involving a range on Lemoyne Road, an officer had to assess the situation and decide whether the facility was adequate for the amount of shooting at that time and the type of firearms being discharged.

The officer decided that situation was adequately safe, the chief said.

“Therein lies the problem,” he said. “It has to be done on a case by case basis. The officer has to make a determination of each situation at that time.”

Welling said last week most of the complaints the trustees receive about the discharge of firearms stem from those living in subdivisions and not in the more rural areas of the township.

The Ohio Township Association in the April edition of its Grassroots Clippings newsletter, states it has fielded a “high number” of calls from township officials, residents and legislators about the discharge of firearms.

Due to the increased interest in the issue, the association has included it in its

priorities for the current state legislature.

“Ohio’s landscape is changing and the rural areas are fast becoming the center of the population shift in Ohio. There are approximately 20 townships in Ohio that have populations above 25,000 people in the unincorporated area and 50 townships with populations above 10,000. These population figures demonstrate that townships are not just the rural areas of vacant farmlands as they once were. Many Ohio townships have zoning regulations that permit up to two homes per acre, thus creating major safety concerns when a firearm is discharged. The OTA proposes legislation

that would put townships on equal footing as municipalities with language that would permit the adoption of firearm discharge regulations based upon population and density within the township,” the newsletter says.

Unlike municipalities, townships are limited by the Ohio Revised Code in regulating the discharge of firearms.

Shooting ranges, however, are subject to a section of the ORC that authorizes the chief of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife to adopt rules that set standards for shooting ranges.

Boomfest at the Grove For those suffering a little postJuly 4th letdown, the City of Oregon and BP Husky are co-sponsoring “Boomfest at the Grove” Saturday, July 6.

The daylong celebration, which will run from 2 p.m.-midnight, will be held at Oak Shade Grove, 3624 Seaman Rd., Oregon. Admission and parking are free.

Clay turbine meets 100 percent of energy demand Continued from front page tion, having been spinning for 19 months.

The two 100 kilowatt turbines were estimated to take 65 percent of the electrical load, but to date the actual production is 86 percent of the school’s needs.

“We all knew we were in a windy part of the state and good for wind energy production, but the electricity produced is exceeding all expectations,” Slotnick said.

“And with zero bird and bat mortality, the data is ‘blowing away’ two myths: that turbines kill birds and that there isn’t enough wind to make it worthwhile.”

Slotnick said students and staff “can be reassured that every kilowatt of power used for lighting, computers, heating and cooling, kitchen, maintenance and administration offices is powered by non-polluting, nongreenhouse gas emitting energy that has so far proven safe for wildlife.”

To date, the CHS turbine has produced about 1.2 megawatts (1,197,396 kilowatts) and the Eisenhour turbines 461,098 kilo-

watts.

Other highlights from the first seven months of operation include —  Creating energy cost-cutting, money savings for the district  Preventing 2,394 tons of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. Reduced sulphur dioxide. Reduced nitrous oxide. There have been no complaints about the turbine’s sound or shadows affecting residents, bike path users, or sports teams, “indicating that large wind turbines are compatible with multiple use sites,” Slotnick said.

Solar panels and school buses Besides the Eisenhower and Clay turbines, Jerusalem and Starr schools have rooftop solar panels installed and will be connected shortly, soon to provide over 2.2 megawatts of power per year to the district.

“It is an inspiration for many of us in the Oregon Schools to be daily using electricity

that it is a completely renewable non-polluting energy source,” said Slotnick. “Now with the bird and bat data coming in, we are even more confident that wind turbines are environmentally safe, even this close to the migratory pathway along Lake Erie.

The Oregon school buses are also getting greener. Oregon City Schools is receiving $22,358 from the Ohio EPA to install emission controls on 14 buses.

Retrofitting school buses reduces fine particle pollution in diesel exhaust by between 20 and 90 percent, depending on the type of control equipment installed.

Fine particles, known as particulates, can aggravate respiratory conditions such as asthma and bronchitis. Children are most susceptible to this kind of air pollution because their lungs and respiratory systems are still developing.

Children in four Ohio districts will benefit from the grants awarded to install pollution control equipment on 32 buses and idle reduction technology on 45 buses as part of Ohio EPA’s Clean Diesel School

Survey shows:

No bird kills thus far After over 100 hours of surveying, Clay High School environmental science and biology teacher Dennis Slotnick says no evidence exists that the school’s wind turbine poses a threat to wildlife.

Slotnick said Ohio Department of Natural Resource protocols were used for the bird kill searches at the two Eisenhower turbines and the Clay turbine.

So far, only one red bat was found under the turbine last November. Slotnick says an independent searcher from the University of Toledo along with Clay students have found zero bird kills.

He said the study was done during the heaviest migration of the year, two-and-ahalf miles from the Lake Erie shoreline.

“Of course, we would like to have several years of data to make a scientifically valid claim that no birds are struck by turbines, but so far it looks very safe for our avian friends,” said Slotnick.

Slotnick says searchers have doubled efforts to search for bird and bat carcasses since April 2013, the beginning of spring bird migration.

The search continues this summer with a searcher efficiency study and scavenger rate assessments to determine whether a fox, raccoon, or cat has carried off the bodies of dead birds.

“We scour in five meter quadrants at a distance of twice the blade diameter, spending over 110 hours so far this year under the three turbines,” Slotnick’s statement said.

Over 40 hours of student searcher time and over 107 hours of university internship hours been logged during the spring migration season. Slotnick and Caine Kolinski have been coordinating the research on a daily basis for eight weeks.

Slotnick says the national average for bird and bat mortality for wind turbines is two per year. He compares that to automobiles, which kill one million birds and one hundred million cats per year. Communication towers have killed from 82 to 3,199 birds per year, according to the Government Accountability Office of the National Audubon Society.

Slotnick notes that, according to the Mother Nature Network, “Nearly all bird kills occur on one outdated wind farm in Altamont, California where 2,000 to 5,000 birds die from old, fast, and low elevation scaffold tower turbines. If you exclude that data, the number of birds killed in the U.S. by wind turbines is practically zero.”

Radar study continues Personnel from the U.S. Geological Service, Bowling Green State University, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Ohio State University, University of Toledo, and the Black Swamp Bird Observatory are participating in a radar study, which ultimately hopes to gain insight into whether the flight patterns would place the migrating flocks close to wind turbines that have been or soon will be erected near the lake shoreline.

Mark Shieldcastle, research director at the BSBO, is hopeful the radar study can continue for at least three years. He said data from when it began last fall is still be-

ing analyzed.

“We hope we can keep it going,” Shieldcastle said. “They did it through the spring and their looking for some money to keep it going through next fall.”

The BSBO researchers have been calling for additional studies by state and federal wildlife authorities of the migratory flight patterns along the lake before wind energy development is pursued. In particular, they’ve asked for a three-year moratorium on the placement of wind turbines within three miles of Lake Erie in Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky, and Erie counties.

Shieldcastle said there has been research on the effect of turbines on migratory birds, but most of the studies have been conducted in areas where birds are in active migration and some portion of the flocks are flying well above turbine blades.

The BSBO hosted a forum last year, inviting researchers from academia, government, and conservation groups, to update their peers on projects they’ve undertaken in the Great Lake region. The BSBO met with Oregon School officials to discuss the issue last fall.

BSBO staffers have also been watching development at the Lake Erie Business Park, which has been promoting its site as well suited for wind and solar energy.

Bus Grant program.

A total of $151,232 was awarded to reduce children’s exposure to pollutants in diesel exhaust. The equipment is expected to eliminate 150 pounds of fine particle pollution and more than 2,164 pounds of nitrogen oxides.

Ohio EPA established the Clean Diesel School Bus Fund in 2006 to encourage school districts to install pollution controls on diesel school buses, and use cleaner fuel to reduce air emissions and improve air quality. More than $7.7 million has been awarded to install pollution control equipment on 2,511 school buses and idle reduction equipment on 845 buses, removing more than 100 tons of pollutants from the air. The next grant application deadline is Sept. 1, 2013.

Priority is given to applicants in areas that do not meet federal air quality standards for fine particulates, and to districts that employ additional measures such as anti-idling programs to reduce emissions from school bus fleets.

Home Depot executives to attend meeting

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Representatives of The Home Depot have indicated they plan to attend this week’s meeting of the Troy Township trustees and offer more details about a planned distribution center the company is considering, Matthew Brinker, a trustee, said.

The trustees will hold their regular meeting June 26 at 7 p.m. at the fire hall on Krotzer Avenue in the Village of Luckey.

In May, the township zoning commission approved site plans submitted by the company for about 150 acres located south of U.S. 20.

“We’d like to get more information about a possible start date and how many jobs are involved,” Brinker said Thursday.

“Are they planning on running more than one shift? We’ll also talk about property taxes.”

The Eastwood school board Thursday morning approved an abatement agreement for the property that would be in effect for 15 years, according to Brent Welker, school superintendent.

Under the agreement the district will receive $675,000 annually starting in January 2015 – a total of $10.12 million. The payments would end in January 2029 and the company would begin paying property taxes in 2031.

“There will be one year between the end of the agreement and their placement on the (tax) duplicate. They have agreed to pay the district one year earlier than anticipated as a courtesy,” Welker said in an email message to school district residents.

The agreement stipulates the school board use the money for capital expenses or permanent improvements, which is similar to an abatement agreement the district had with Troy Energy, Welker said.

He described the Home Deport agreement as a “real blessing for the taxpayers and residents of the district,” A community forum to discuss how to use the funding will probably be scheduled for August or September, Welker said.

Company officials Thursday declined to discuss the project.

“We are considering this location for a distribution center, but do not have any confirmation at this time,” said Stephen Holmes, senior manager corporate communications, in an email message to The Press.

Woodville 4th of July The 71st Woodville 4th of July Celebration will be held July 3-6 at Trail Marker Park, just off State Route 20.

The event, which promises “great big family fun,” will include a car show, bingo, a 5K race, carnival rides and games, games of chance and a big money raffle.

Musical entertainment will be on tap every night on the front stage and in the beer tent.

New this year, Friday night will be polka night, featuring the music of the Frank Haller ensemble.

In addition there will be a grand parade at noon July 6.

That evening, the celebration will be capped off by a gigantic fireworks display.

Oregon Schools

New leader will have challenges to face

By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Outgoing Oregon City Schools Superintendent Dr. Mike Zalar said his replacement will face several challenges in the district, including garnering additional school funding, new state and federal mandates, and the state report cards.

“School funding will continue to be a challenge for public education,” said Zalar.

“At some point in the near future, the district will need to secure additional operating funds or be forced to make some difficult decisions that will impact the quality of education for students.”

The district will also have to deal with new, unfunded, state and federal mandates being imposed on public education, he said.

“The evaluation systems have Dr. Michael Zalar changed for teachers and principals. New Common Core State Standards and PARCC Assessments have been developed and students will be required to take these assessments online beginning in 2014,” said Zalar.

The “Third Grade Guarantee,” which requires all children to be reading at grade level by the third grade or be automatically retained, along with requiring teachers to be credentialed to teach reading to students identified for reading intervention in the primary grades are also part of the new state mandates, he said.

The district has been anticipating these changes and working on them for a couple of years, he said.

“The district is an active participant in the Race to the Top (RttT) grant program,” he said. “The grant has provided funds to support staff development in these areas so our teachers are better prepared to help their students be successful on the new assessments.

The new superintendent will also have to meet the challenges of the new report cards from day one.

The tests will be harder and the criteria to meet the indicators will be higher, Zalar said. Beginning in the fall, the report cards will be converted to a “letter grade” system and the previous designations of “excellent” and “effective,” etc. will no longer be in place.

Schools and districts will be graded in different categories and receive a letter grade ranging from A-F depending upon their performance in each area.

“These are all huge changes and they are all happening at once,” Zalar said. “The new superintendent will face the challenge of keeping all of these initiatives going while trying to educate the community on the necessity of securing additional funds to maintain high quality schools in the community.”

Zalar was principal at Clay High School for five years and spent an additional five years as superintendent. In that time, he faced the challenges of H.B. 66, which had just been approved and implemented by the state. The tax reform legislation phased out the ability for school districts to receive the tangible personal property tax generated from businesses in their community, he said.

“For Oregon Schools this was a significant amount of revenue and shifted the burden of taxes for schools directly onto the home owner,” Zalar said. “The district was unable to pass additional millage to offset the loss of more than $10 million in revenue so cuts needed to be made.”

Voters in the district turned down a 5.9 mill emergency operating levy in November of 2010. Faced with the loss of

Supt. pick set for Thursday

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Oregon school board chose two finalists from a list of three candidates for the superintendent’s position. The school board will choose one of them as the new superintendent at a school board meeting on Thursday, June 27.

The board originally received nine resumes for the post and selected three candidates for interviews before narrowing the list to just two – Dr. Lonny J. Rivera, of Oregon, and Dr. Deborah A. Piotrowski, of Xenia, Ohio.

Ziviski said the candidates “met most of the criteria as identified from our community forum.”

“All three candidates brought a lot to the table and interviewed exceptionally well, but two really stuck out and also had ties to the local area,” he said.

Piotrowski, he said, “has a proven record as a change agent helping districts get their finances under control. Rivera brought a passion for education and has tons of experience from various administrative positions with local surrounding districts.”

“In the end, one of these two individuals will be our next superintendent and I am excited to know that our district will have a leader that will be able to bring the district back to the level of greatness we have seen before and know we are capable of achieving. I have said many times in the past couple of months things are changing in Oregon city schools. They are changing for the better for our students and community,” he said.

The district’s current superintendent, Dr. Michael Zalar, recently announced that he is leaving to take the position of superintendent of the North Olmsted City Schools District in North Olmsted Ohio.

Zalar became superintendent of the Oregon City Schools District in 2008. He is expected to leave in August for his new job.

Rivera, of Brown Road, has a doctor-

ate in education from the University of Toledo, where he previously received his Masters and Bachelors degrees in education.

Rivera has been the principal of Wayne Trail Intermediate (4-5) in the Maumee City Schools District since August 2011.

Prior to that, he was principal of Wayne Trail Intermediate (K-5) in the district from August 2010 to June 2011. From August 2008 to July 2010, he was chief of staff for the Toledo Public Schools district.

He was principal of Coy Elementary School from August 2003 to July 2008, principal of Sherman Elementary in Toledo from June 2000 to June 2003, assistant principal at Sherman from June 1999 to June 2000, and dean of students at Woodward High School, Toledo, from August 1998 to August 1999.

As a lifelong resident of Oregon and Jerusalem Township, Rivera stated in his application, “I can think of no greater honor than to serve the students, parents, and dedicated staff of the Oregon City Schools District.”

Piotrowski is currently superintendent of the Xenia Community City Schools District, in which there are 4,700 students enrolled.

She has a doctorate in education from the University of Toledo, where she also received her masters and bachelors degrees.

“Based upon my commitment to excellence for all students, success in raising scores of diverse student populations, experience with challenging levies and experience in fiscal and business initiatives, I feel I have what is necessary for this leadership opportunity,” Piotrowski stated in her application.

The Oregon school board is holding a meeting on June 25 at the Clay Media Center for the community to meet the two candidates and ask them questions, said Ziviski.

“The board will look for feedback on each candidate before we make our final decision,” said Ziviski.

revenue, Zalar said the district was able to develop a plan with the administration and staff to save money and improve student performance. The plan included a 30 percent reduction in administrative staff, a 15 percent reduction in teaching staff, the closing of Wynn Elementary School and reducing transportation services for high school students.

The district also negotiated wage and benefit concessions from all employees including salary freezes and increased contribution to health care benefits for everybody, he said.

Zalar also pointed to the wind turbines at Clay and Eisenhower Middle School along with solar panels at Starr Elementary and Jerusalem Elementary Schools as enabling the district to save on utility costs into the future.

“The net result of these and many other initiatives has been that the district has been able to stretch its budget over a longer period of time and establish a level of fiscal stability during tough economic times,” Zalar said. “We have also passed the renewal of two permanent improvement levies.

“These monies will enable the district to maintain its buildings and grounds while providing technology to upgrade district

safety protocols and create a learning environment conducive to 21st century education.”

Even with the deep cuts, student test scores have also improved, Zalar said.

“Clay continues to be recognized as an “Excellent” school while Starr and Jerusalem have achieved “Excellent” status as well,” he said. “We have increased expectations for staff and students by aligning our curriculum with the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and ACT Quality Core. The district is also meeting AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) goals set by the state and federal government while value-added and performance index measures have improved as well.”

Zalar seemed most proud of the new grade reconfiguration which will begin this fall, adding the plan, 20 years in the making, will help the district close achievement gaps in the middle school grades.

“Beginning next year, the fifth grades will be pulled out of the elementary schools and Eisenhower will become a grades 5-6 intermediate school and Fassett will served grades 7-8 as a junior high,” he said. “This will further improve student achievement and enable the district to address the achievement gap which is currently occurring in the middle grade levels.”

“

All three candidates brought a lot to the table...but two really stuck out and had ties to the local area.

Lake Cemetery

Tight budget reflected

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The condition of the Lake Township Cemetery, including its finances, came up for discussion Tuesday after a resident told township trustees she saw grass left untrimmed around many headstones .

Marge Willman said she was dismayed during a recent visit to the cemetery on Walbridge Road to see some headstones obscured from view by tall grass.

Melanie Bowen, who chairs the board of trustees, said the board hasn’t hired seasonal help for the 40-acre cemetery as an austerity measure.

Currently, only the cemetery sexton and a full-time worker handle maintenance responsibilities, she said, noting in years past the trustees hired as many as five seasonal employees before state revenues to local governments were cut.

The township doesn’t have a property tax levy to generate revenues for cemetery costs – instead relying on grave plot sales and burial fees.

Vicki Schwamberger, township fiscal officer, said the township budgeted $160,000 this year for cemetery costs but as of May 31 there was a balance of about $29,000 in the fund.

Bowen said the township has also been buying back about four or five grave plots on average a month as owners move from the township or opt to be cremated or not buried at the cemetery.

Richard Welling, a trustee, said the sexton can ask for maintenance help from personnel in the road and parks departments but those departments are also stretched thin.

The trustees can tap into the general fund to meet cemetery expenses, Bowen said, but view that as a last resort. State law only requires townships to mow cemetery properties twice a year. “We’d never let it get to that point,� she said. “But that’s our responsibility as a township.�

Trustee Ron Sims told Willman he’s seen several cemeteries in worse condition than the township cemetery but agreed it “doesn’t look like it did 10 years ago.�

In other business, the trustees agreed to accept a grant of $40,966 from the Ohio Department of Transportation upgrade road signs in the township.

The trustees also approved an agreement with the Lucas County Board of Commissioners to use the county’s 800 megahertz radio system’s infrastructure.

The township will pay a fee of $15 per month for each radio used by the police department.

Camp Perry Improvements

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Work will begin by the end of this month on a $2.9 million improvement project at Camp Perry, including replacing World War II-era Quonset huts and upgrading storm drainage systems and installing new sidewalks.

Completion is scheduled for December, said U.S. Representative Marcy Kaptur, who serves on the defense sub-committee of the House Appropriations Committee.

Kaptur noted that the hutments, which were built in the 1940s, sustained significant structural and environmental damage during the storms and flooding caused by Hurricane Sandy.

She said Guard officials agreed to replace the facilities after inspecting the storm damage and factoring in the cost of repair and the age of the facilities.

Tweaks tax code

“Juggling a career and being a mom is challenging.

Jazzercise is my time for ME!” Ann, 35

Bill would help tax pros Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) has introduced a bill that tweaks the federal tax code and allows enrolled agents more discretion in using their credentials to distinguish themselves from unlicensed tax preparers.

Portman said he introduced the Enrolled Agents Credential Act to ensure that individuals and businesses are able to identify and have access to trained specialists when filing their federal taxes. He said some state statutes prevent enrolled agents from identifying themselves as credentialed by the treasury department.

The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Michael Fioritto, an enrolled agent and certified public accountant with a practice in the City of Oregon, said the bill is a step forward in professionalizing the tax preparation industry.

“By interfering with enrolled agents’ ability to advertise and brand themselves, a few states are hurting not only the enrolled agent profession but the consumers in those states who might utilize their services,” he said Fioritto is also the president of the Ohio State Society of Enrolled Agents.

Sen. Portman said the bill, which has been referred to the senate’s finance committee, won’t cost anything to implement.

He described the federal tax code as “antiquated” and the complex paperwork often requires individuals and businesses to seek professional assistance.

In 2011, the IRS began regulating paid

Coroner on leave of absence Ottawa County’s coroner hasn’t been on the job and his deputy coroner has been handling the elected office duties.

The medical office staff of Dr. Daniel Cadigan of Catawba Island confirmed Tuesday he is out of the office for six weeks for personal reasons. Cadigan’s deputy coroner, Dr. David Bodie of Port Clinton, is handling coroner’s calls in his absence, the staff member said.

Cadigan, whose private number is not listed in the telephone book, wasn’t available for further comment.

Bodie’s staff at Port Clinton Medical Associates later confirmed Bodie had been tapped to temporarily handle the coroner’s cases. Bodie was not available for comment either. He was not scheduled to be in the office Tuesday and would not be available until next week, staff said.

The notice regarding the temporary change of guard was given to the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department sometime in late May, said Jim Lucas, the department’s communications supervisor.

tax preparers who weren’t attorneys, certified public accountants, or enrolled agents, requiring them to pass a qualifying exam, pay an annual fee, and complete 15 hours of continuing education courses each year.

But earlier this year, U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg ruled the IRS misinterpreted an 1884 statute as enabling the new regulations. While the law allows the IRS to regulate those who present cases before the Treasury Department, that doesn’t include the actual filing of a tax return, the judge reasoned, saying the regulations require statutory authority.

“Filing a tax return would never, in normal usage, be described as ‘presenting a case,’” the judge wrote. “At the time of filing, the taxpayer has no dispute with the IRS; there is no case to present.”

The IRS had estimated the new rules affected 600,000 to 700,000 new preparers who were previously unregulated at the federal level, according to court documents.

CPAs, attorneys, and enrolled agents were already licensed to practice before the IRS and weren’t affected by the ruling.

Dan Laity, chairman of the Ottawa County Democratic Committee, said he had not been made aware of any issues regarding the coroner’s absence. “I saw him a couple of weeks ago and wished him well,” Laity said.

And even if he did know the reason behind Cadigan’s decision he would not comment, Laity said. “I would not feel comfortable commenting on his personal business,” he added. “You need to talk to him.”

Cadigan, a local physician for 17 years, took over the coroner’s job after defeating Jerome McTague in the November 2012 general election.

He based his campaign on the coroner’s office needing to respond to requests and to timely complete and file documents.

Shortly after taking office, Cadigan appointed a coroner’s staff, including deputy coroner Bodie. Access to a deputy coroner had been severely lacking in 2012, he noted in the campaign. The rest of the appointed staff include investigators Carl Rider and Joe Vidal, both of whom have served with local law enforcement in various jobs for years.

Veterans Wall visit To the editor: American Veterans Traveling Tribute (AVTT) had the opportunity to bring the AVTT Traveling Vietnam Wall to Toledo from June 5-9. The Traveling Wall came in conjunction with the Toledo Vietnam Veterans Appreciation Event. We’d like to take the opportunity thank everyone involved with making this event a reality and to the community itself for welcoming our organization and this patriotic and educational event into Toledo.

We’d like to first thank Duke Wheeler for sponsoring this event and to the entire Toledo Vietnam Veterans Appreciation Event committee for their coordination and promotional efforts for the event. This team’s support, hard work and dedication were essential to a successful event. Everything was so well planned, all bases were covered thoroughly and the promotional efforts were outstanding, which was evident by the tremendous turnout.

Things kicked off on Wednesday with an outstanding honor escort into Toledo.

We’d like to thank the Toledo Express Airport for providing the staging location, those that coordinated the ride logistics and all that participated in the honor escort. A special thank you also goes out to Patriot Guard Riders, the Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club and all other clubs involved with the ride – thank you. What a tremendous salute to our fallen heroes.

Deadline Wed. Noon. Send to news@presspublications.com

We’d like to thank the folks with International Park for providing the venue and to Brookwood Landscaping for donating the beautiful landscaping work that was done on-site to prepare for the Wall’s visit.

A big thank you goes out to the many volunteers of all ages that assisted with set up and tear down, to the Locator volunteers that worked daily to assist the public with wall rubbings and locating loved ones’ names on the Wall, and to the Toledo Police Department for serving as the dedicated security personnel throughout the event.

There were countless other volunteers involved with this event so a big thank you goes out to everyone involved. Without the hard work of so many, this event would not have been possible.

The many events that went on at the Wall were wonderful and a true testament to how patriotic the Toledo community is.

It is obvious that your area understands and appreciates the true cost of freedom. To Mayor Bell and all ceremony participants, thank you for taking the time to be a part of this event. To those involved with the Veterans Resource Area on-site – thank you for showing your commitment and dedication to our veterans. To all local area businesses that contributed to honoring veterans in

one way or another throughout the special week, thank you.

And most importantly – to all of active duty service men and women, to all veterans, to all Gold Star Mothers and Wives and to all Blue Star Families – thank you for your continued service and sacrifice to our country.

Thank you for welcoming us into your community and for taking the time to honor, respect and remember our active duty, veterans and fallen heroes.

We very much look forward to returning to Toledo in the future.

Ill-advised To the editor: Do you mean to tell me that all the Millbury Fireman’s Association and Woodville Township Volunteer Fire Department can come up with to raffle off for a fundraiser are guns and rifles?

I’m sorry to see that Millbury can’t afford to do the annual ox roast, but really…a gun raffle? You can’t tell me that there are that many farmers that need rifles for ver-

min? And, if hunters want to hunt so badly, let them buy their own guns.

What ever happened to selling tickets for a new TV, washing machine, free gas or groceries for a month, free dinners at some nice restaurants, etc?

You can’t tell me that there aren’t some of the larger businesses that could donate prizes for a fundraiser. The economy isn’t that bad. People still go out to eat, get expensive gas for their cars and buy groceries and appliances, etc.

Remind me to stay out of all these local fire department locations with a bunch of ill-advised people running around with guns, background check or not.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

You also began learning the concept of failure.

“

As a young child, your day dreams knew no limits. You could imagine doing or being virtually anything. Your mind created endless scenarios. The concept of “unrealistic” had no meaning. The dreams you had were big dreams.

With each passing year, you were taught all of the things you couldn’t do.

You learned all of the rules and regulations enumerating all of the impermissible behaviors. More and more often, you were told that your dreams were unrealistic.

There was invariably always some reason why you couldn’t or shouldn’t do what you wanted.

As a result, you began dismissing your dreams as unrealistic on your own. Your imagination became more limited. All of the big dreams started to shrink. After all, why waste time thinking about things that are obviously impossible?

You also began learning the concept of failure. Not everything you attempted worked as planned. Your failures may have been criticized. Perhaps you were ridiculed. Consequently, you developed a more cautious attitude and became more adverse to risk.

So now your propensity to dream big has been left behind with your childhood.

At best, it’s a distant memory if you can even recall it at all. The result is all your dreams are now constrained by so called reality.

But who is it that determines what is realistic? Typically, it’s other people with small dreams. They comprise the cadre of naysayers who always stand ready to throw cold water on your aspirations. Taking a look at history serves as a reminder as to

just how misguided these perpetually negative people are.

Let’s begin when primitive people were living in caves. What would have been the reaction if one of the cavemen was so inspired by watching the birds that he dreamed of one day being able to fly? Of course all of the other cave people would have dismissed his fantasy as being unrealistic.

History demonstrates that every invention, discovery, and innovation was the result of someone with big dreams that were resoundingly criticized as unrealistic. Had the dreamers listened to the conventional wisdom and abandoned their pursuits, we would all still be living primitively in caves.

Before Olympic runner Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile in 1954, it was a feat widely considered physically impossible. Obviously, if it were achievable, someone, at some time in human history would have already done it.

But Roger had big dreams. It didn’t matter to him that no one had ever been able to run a mile in under 4 minutes. He believed he could. From the dawn of humans until 1954, not one person had been able to run a mile in less than 4 minutes.

Bannister’s time was 3 min 59.4 sec-

onds. Was Bannister an exception? Did he possess superhuman abilities? Well, just 46 days after Bannister accomplished the impossible, John Landy broke Bannister’s record with a new record time of 3 minutes and 58 seconds. The current world record time is now 3 minutes and 43.13 seconds which was set in 1999. Today, well over a thousand people have run the mile in less than 4 minutes, an “impossible” feat until 1954.

Obviously, just because something hasn’t been done before has no bearing on whether or not it’s possible. However, the chances are that whatever your big dream is, it has already been accomplished. That proves your dream is realistic.

You want to revert to your big dreams.

Don’t worry about anyone else’s opinion.

Dreams always precede accomplishments.

There are no limitations. Whatever you can conceive, and believe, you can achieve.

Our emergency communications system needs a tech upgrade

By Stephanie Worden In the early morning hours of April 19, some residents of Watertown, Massachusetts, received an automated phone call telling them to “shelter in place” while the suspected Boston marathon bomber roamed the neighborhood.

The system worked — to a degree. One homeowner ultimately realized a bleeding man, who turned out to be Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, had holed up in the boat on his property. The Watertown man alerted the authorities, and the suspect went into custody.

But why didn’t everyone in Watertown get the call? Because our emergency communications system is flawed.

The federal government began building official emergency notification systems in the 1950s. The most recognizable of these notifications is the Emergency Broadcast System, with its familiar bands of color spanning the television screen and the recognizable drone of repeated beeps on the radio announcing: “This is a test. This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.”

Clearly, we can no longer rely on TV and radio as the primary means of mass emergency communication. In Boston, danger arose at night while people were sleeping, their radios and TVs turned off. And in the information age, a growing number of people don’t access TV through traditional cable news or local broadcasting stations.

Many of us get the news through other media.

The next logical step would be to meet people where they are. That means using our nation’s telecommunications infrastructure as a platform for emergency alerts.

Nearly every American has a landline phone or a mobile wireless device, such as a smartphone. These gizmos are becoming the preferred medium for how we connect with each other and the world at large.

We already have the technology to deliver mass phone calls to large populations.

Some reverse-911 systems are quite sophisticated, and can send calls to all landlines in very specific locations. But Americans are migrating away from landlines in favor of wireless. If you don’t have a landline, you’re out of range — and possibly out of luck.

Furthermore, many reverse-911 sys-

Guest Editorial tems don’t work via Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP. VoIP routes call traffic over Internet Protocol networks rather than traditional telephone networks.

These technological limitations are a huge concern, since the most recent data indicate that less than half of American households have a traditional landline phone. One in three relies on wireless phones, while another quarter have VoIP landlines.

When promoting these reverse-911 systems, providers tout subscribers’ ability to self-register their phone numbers. While this is certainly a step in the right direction, the opt-in model is confusing for consumers.

And to complicate matters, some of our country’s most powerful communica-

tions companies are pushing to completely eliminate state and federal oversight of their services.

If policymakers go along with this grand plan, fewer people will have access to critical services like reverse-911, and no regulatory agency will have the authority to do anything about it.

So what’s the best way to reach people during an emergency?

Our leaders must encourage innovation and get the government to adapt to new and emerging technologies.

There are laws on the books about wireless emergency communications. The Warning, Alert, and Response Network (WARN) Act established Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs), which are text-like warning messages that are 90 characters long and are sent in intervals.

But the only devices that are technologically equipped to receive these messages are high-priced smartphones. Those who can’t afford them won’t be able to receive emergency notifications.

And commercial wireless service providers aren’t even required to distribute

Wireless Emergency Alerts: Participation in the program is completely voluntary. Lowincome and senior populations tend to subscribe to phone plans from smaller wireless carriers that are less likely to offer WEAs. This all adds up to a communications industry that relies on the public airwaves but isn’t required to alert the public in times of crisis.

As people cut their landlines and transition away from traditional TV and radio, we need effective emergency notification systems that will work on all mobile devices. The FCC should speed up the transition to mobile notification systems and pressure the industry to ensure that these systems work on all cellphones and landlines.

These changes can help save lives.

Employees donate time on the farm Employees from the Johnson Controls Northwood plant donated their time Saturday to build a tool shed at Wood Lane Farm. The building will enhance efficiency and enable the staff and workers with disabilities to store materials and equipment on site versus moving them from location to location.

Employees also donated $1,561 to the Wood Lane Industries’ Board to cover the cost of materials for the shed as well as purchasing gloves and other supplies, according to a company spokesperson.

The donation was part of Blue Sky Involve, a global employee-driven program that encourages Johnson Controls employees to form volunteer groups that work with local non-profits or schools to support leadership development, environmental sustainability and social service. Employees learned about Wood Lane and programs for Wood County residents as a result of the company employing an enclave of workers with disabilities at the plant. The local company completed an application to the corporate Blue Sky Involve program and received notification last month of its acceptance.

The Wood Lane Farm is one of the many employment options in Wood County for adults with developmental disabilities.

The Farm is part of Wood Lane Industries and is a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. A CSA program is a farming model where community members purchase a share in advance of the growing season. The purchases of shares give the CSA the resources to help cover costs associated with the farming season. This includes but is not limited to seed purchases, labor costs, and machinery. Members of a CSA are provided with locally grown and fresh produce

Workplace throughout the growing season.

Workers with disabilities learn valuable skills on the farm such as seeding, transplanting, weeding, watering, harvesting and processing.

Genoa alumni enjoying 67 years of friendship – and counting

“

After these losses, realizing there will not always be another month for all of us to be together, we began to truly cherish our time together.

“

Many schoolgirls have promised each other they will be BFFs (best friends forever). Once in a while they do, but often, as they grow, or maybe move, their friendships fade. Such is life.

But not for a group of Genoa High School classmates who, for the past 55 years, without fail, have gathered at each other’s homes for a monthly retreat, refreshments and renewal.

The BFFs include Genoa class of 1958 members Carol (Nelson) Schwegler, Ellen (Hansen) Wilhelm, Joyce (Hood) Hertzfeld, Diane (Pfeiffer) Traver, Diane (Sievert) Gerkensmeyer, Barb (Huss) Gottschalk and Evelyn (Kreager) French.

The classmates went through eight years of grade school at Allen-Central and four years of high school together. “None of us would be the woman she is today without the ongoing nurturing and accountability of this group,” said Diane Gerkensmeyer.

“None of us can envision life without the generative sustenance we have gained from each other in our monthly gatherings.”

The general routine of the gatherings has remained remarkably consistent over the years. The gatherings rotate alphabetically from home to home. Each hostess serves her specialty. The women know how to position the chairs around the table and where each attendee will sit. Once seated, the friends begin a marathon of non-stop conversation punctuated by food breaks.

A few things have changed, however.

“We used to sit up talking half the night and then report to our jobs the next morning – but now things begin to fade by 10 p.m.,” Gerkensmeyer said. “In our younger years, we used to gregariously gallop right in with updates about children and birth control decisions, moving from there to

They include (from left) Carol Schwegler, of Oregon; Ellen Wilhelm, of Genoa; Joyce Hertzfeld, of Genoa; Diane Traver, of Curtice and Diane Gerkensmeyer, of Williston. Not pictured are Barb Gottschalk, of Millbury and Marvel Nelson and Elaine Gardner, of Curtice, who joined the group later. health issues, vocational opportunities and finally to the problems of the world.

“Now, in our retirement years, we gingerly limp right into the body parts issues – of which our knowledge has greatly increased as we discover more and more parts we did not even know existed until they quit working properly,” she said. “We move from there to grandchildren, our parents’ declining health, continued retirement dreams and

then it’s on to the problems of the world.”

As young adults, with the future wide open before them, the classmates agree they did not always recognize and appreciate the importance and value of the monthly gatherings. “Gradually, however, as our parents began to pass away and as our lives became more complicated, we began to appreciate the true support we each depend on from the others,” Gerkensmeyer said.

Then, the friends received a phone call none wanted to hear. One of their beloved “sisters,” Kathy (Pfeiffer) Schimming,” was dying of cancer and had only a short time to live. One by one, they visited her so each could share their love and say a final goodbye. Then another phone call and the friends together shared the wave of emotion as they mourned the loss of another friend, Evelyn French.

“After these losses, realizing there will not always be another month for all of us to be together, we began to truly cherish our time together,” Gerkensmeyer said. “And so we gather monthly,” she said. “We gather in our joys and sorrows, our triumphs and tragedies, knowing that this group of faithful friends loves us.

“What a gift we have been graciously granted over the past 55 years,” she said.

Genoa Area Schools’ scholarship foundation honors 58 recipients The Genoa Area Local Schools Scholarship Foundation, Inc. honored 33 students at the high school’s Honors Award Program.

This foundation was organized by a local group of interested citizens in January 1991, and has held a tax-free status with the IRS since March 2, 1994. The organization’s assets continue to grow. In 2013, funds totaled over $570,000 – up from $550,000 in 2012, compared to $383,000 in 2008.

“Our growth continues only due to a community program that is funded by caring supporters of Genoa Schools, local businesses, local community clubs, as well as many thoughtful and helpful individuals,” said Diane Gerkensmeyer, foundation president.

This year, the Foundation awarded a total of 58 scholarships to 33 seniors. The awards included 33 individual scholarship funds that offered 47 scholarships in 2013.

In addition, 11 scholarships were given by various local businesses and organizations in conjunction with the Foundation. In addition, one four-year renewable scholarship of $1,000 per year, the Dehn Sisters Memorial Scholarship Trust, was awarded.

The 2013 Fellows are the third class of new teacher candidates to be prepared through the program since the Fellowship was launched in Ohio in 2010.

Each Fellow will receive a $30,000 stipend while completing an intensive master’s-level teacher education program at one of seven participating Ohio universities. Flint, a 2011 graduate of The University of Toledo where she majored in applied mathematics, will attend The Ohio State University.

These guys aren’t exactly just playing in the mud

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

Mudders Chris Camp, Dan Downey, Deric Ritchey, Tyson Stoll, Jesse Blalark, and Cody Kish. (Photo courtesy of Jackie Bodnar) one was equally nervous and didn’t know what to expect. We get there and there were thousands of people, competitors and spectators. Everyone’s just amped up. They start you in heats, a half hour apart, because there are so many people.”

Camp said it took his team almost four hours to get through the course.

“Tough Mudder is not a race, but a challenge,” he said.

“There is no time limit, and it’s not just a road race. It was muddy. There is no sprinting in this. You did all you could do to stand upright; we were slipping and sliding. It was challenging to move in a straight line. It’s big on camaradarie and helping your buddy. It’s a really cool feeling, linking arms and pulling each other over the wall. You’re beat up, but everyone helps.

It’s a really neat thing to be a part of.”

Camp has since competed in two other Tough Mudder events, last October in

Maysville, Ky., and on April 28 in Mansfield.

Oak Harbor native Jackie Bodnar was at the event in Mansfield, serving as a volunteer. It was her first opportunity witnessing a Tough Mudder event. She went with her boyfriend, Kevin Siebert.

“When we arrived at the event, I went to the volunteer tent and thought it would be cool,” Bodnar said. “I signed up to volunteer and they assigned us at the finish line. I’m grateful, because it was an amazing experience to see these participants accomplish these feats. They receive a Tough Mudder bandana when they cross the finish line. You see people finishing in tears and some who were pretty beat up.”

Bodnar, a good friend of Camp’s, plans to volunteer at future Tough Mudder events.

She said she gained a great deal of respect for the participants, and handing the finish-

“

I’m looking through the crowd and everyone is jumping around...I was elevated to hero status, and that was really cool.

“

Oak Harbor resident Chris Camp gets excitable just talking about it.

Camp, a U.S. Army veteran and former attack helicopter battalion crew member, has competed in three Tough Mudder events and plans to do lots more. It’s in his blood now.

For those who aren’t familiar with Tough Mudder events, they are hardcore 10- to 12-mile obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces to test a person’s allaround strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie. More than one million participants have competed worldwide to date, and more than $5 million has been raised for the Wounded Warrior Project.

Tough Mudder, which features a series of 20 to 26 obstacles, was founded by Will Dean, a former counter-terrorism agent for the British Government. Competitors must be 18 or older, and most of them compete as part of a team.

Camp, a quality supervisor at Mobis North America, competed in his first Tough Mudder event a little over a year ago in South Amherst, Ohio, at the Amherst Quarry.

“We started rolling around the idea about a half a year before that,” Camp said.

“I was looking to get into shape, and my plant manager (Tyson Stoll) is gung-ho with the team-building aspect and getting in shape. I was researching different fitness workouts and I saw this video of someone they call Mustache Man, Andy Thom, a Tough Mudder veteran.

“I showed my manager this video of Tough Mudder and we were like, holy cow!

We were like, let’s do it. No one wanted to make the first move. Tyson decided to make a team, and 10 of us from my company decided to sign up.”

Competing in Tough Mudder events is not for the faint of heart. In fact, it looks like Navy Seal training. The course itself consists of such obstacles as Arctic Enema, Boa Constrictor, Electric Eel, Berlin Wall, and Greased Lightning. It’s kind of like an Ironman event on steroids.

Camp’s team signed up to compete in a Tough Mudder event in April 2012, in South Amherst.

“I started training in December,” Camp said. “I looked online and there was a workout called Tough Mudder workout, like a cross-fit workout. I’m older (46) and I didn’t like to run so much because it’s hard on my knees and ankles. I decided to do this to challenge myself.

“For me, it was a personal goal. When the event came around, I don’t know if I was in perfect physical condition, but it was game time and I was ready to go. Every-

ers the ceremonial orange bandana at the end of the challenge was gratifying.

“You’re standing there in a foot and a half to two feet of mud,” Bodnar said. “This is what they’re running through. It’s really something when you factor in what these participants go through to get to the finish line.”

Camp said he was grateful to Bodnar and Siefert for taking his son, Ryan, 10, to the Tough Mudder event in Mansfield. Ryan also became one of the event volunteers.

“There’s just a sea of people and I don’t know if I’m going to see my son before the race,” Camp said. “I’m looking through the crowd and everyone is jumping around. Off to the starting line I see my son searching the crowd. It was probably one of the coolest moments for me. I was elevated to hero status, and that was really cool.

“Jackie and Kevin had Ryan at different obstacles on the course,” Camp added.

“You jump in ice water, you jump off a platform into a lake, crawl through mud, crawl through Electroshock Therapy and volunteers put your orange headband on.

“When I crossed that finish line, I grabbed a big hunk of mud and threw it, and there’s my son. He has an orange headband and he was the one who put my headband on me. It was ridiculous how cool that was for me.”

Snowden brothers mentor teammates, even opponents As far as Eastwood boys track and field coach Brian Sabo is concerned, Derek and Devin Snowden’s mother, Audra, played a big role in the Eagles’ success this season.

The Snowden brothers were a huge factor in the Eagles’ Division II regional championship run in Lexington. Both competed at the state meet.

The Eastwood boys finished 13th at the D-II state meet, scoring 13 points, as two relay teams and two individuals placed.

The 4x400 relay team of junior Gabe Fredericks, junior Joey Salinas, senior Derek Snowden, and sophomore Devin Snowden was fourth, finishing in 3:21.63 — less than two seconds off the championship time of a team from Dayton Thurgood Marshall (3:19.55).

The 4x100 relay team of senior Isaiah Conkle, Devin Snowden, sophomore Brennan Seifert, and junior Steven Bruning finished sixth in 43.23 — less than a second behind the champions from Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary (42.26). The Eagle squad was less than one-tenth of a second behind the fifth place team from Chagrin Falls (43.14).

Devin Snowden was seventh in the 300 meter hurdles final, finishing in 39.43 — over one second behind champion Dominic Lombardi (38.13), a junior from Columbus Bishop Watterson.

“They’re both quiet but, boy, do they work hard,” Sabo said of Derek, a senior, and Devin, a sophomore. “They are kids who just work. They do it 100 percent, no matter what you have them do. You never hear them complain, they just keep going.”

The Snowden brothers, along with all other local state qualifiers and regional, district, and league champions are on this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Track Honor Roll. Gibsonburg sophomore sprinter Colleen Reynolds is Athlete of the Year after winning the state championship in the Division III 400 run.

Brian and wife Nikki Sabo are CoCoaches of the Year along with Oak Harbor’s John McKitrick, Woodmore coach Brian Ryman, and Gibsonburg coach Glenn Owens.

Owens led the Gibsonburg boys to a Toledo Area Athletic Conference championship, breaking a nine-year run by Toledo Christian, and the Golden Bear girls were league runners-up. McKitrick led the Rocket girls’ team to its fourth straight Sandusky Bay Conference championship and Ryman’s boys team won a Division III district title.

The Sabos continued Eastwood’s league championship tradition in both the boys and girls Northern Buckeye Conference meet and the boys won a Division II regional title. Brian says the Snowden brothers were a big reason why, and he’s got Devin two more years before he graduates.

Respect your opponents Sabo said he’s impressed with the way the Snowden boys treat each other, their teammates and even opponents. That, the coach said, is where Audra comes into play.

“They are extremely encouraging to others, even non-teammates,” Sabo said.

“Devin, in the 300 hurdles race, wishes every guy good luck. I’ve heard them talk to guys in their event. Both are very encourag-

Devin said he and his brother make a competition “out of everything.”

Derek was the NBC Co-Player of the Year as a center defender for the Eagles’ soccer team last fall and will play at Ow-

Devin, 16, was responsible for scoring 33 points at the regional meet, where the top four placers in each event advanced to Columbus. He won the 300 hurdles, ran a leg on the winning 4x100 and 4x400 relays and placed sixth in the long jump. He was 14th in the long jump at last year’s state meet.

All-Press Track Shrewsbury, teammates return ’Cats to form (continued from page 18)

By J. Patrick Eaken and Yaneek Smith sports@presspublications.com

“It was a good regional meet,�

Devin said. “The rest of the team did great. Me not doing too hot in the long jump, it just gave me more motivation to do well in my other events. It didn’t make me mad, it just made me realize you can be a good athlete in one event most of the time, but times will come when you’re not doing so hot and you just have to push through it.�

Devin, who had long-jumped more than 21 feet in every meet this season, jumped a disappointing 20 feet, 6½ inches at the regional. “The long jump sparked him in the other three events,â€? Sabo said. “He hasn’t jumped in the 20s all year, and that’s what he jumped at regionals. He was in the 21s and 22s all year. It lit a fire under him.â€?

Every team needs a standout athlete to lead the way. Senior Andrew Shrewsbury was the guy getting that job done at Woodmore.

After finish sixth in the 100 meter dash at last year’s Division III state meet, Shrewsbury built off that by qualifying for this year’s state meet in three events. He was one of six Wildcats who competed in Columbus, but only thrower Megan Pendleton placed.

In addition to finishing second in the 200 (22.16) and fourth in the 100 (11.17) at the regional meet, Shrewsbury was part of the 4x200 relay team of Michael Travis, Malachi Brown and Zach Sandwisch that was third (1:31.80) at the regional tournament in Tiffin and competed in Columbus.

The other individual state qualifier was junior Deric Anthony, who finished second in the 800 (1:59.76).

Shrewsbury, along with all the other state qualifiers, district, and league champions are on this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Track Honor Roll. Woodmore coach Brian Ryman, who led the Wildcat boys to a Division III district championship, is Co-Coach of the Year.

It is especially satisfying for Shrewsbury, Travis and Brown to make it to state, considering that the relay team they were on last season, the 4x100 squad, finished fifth at regionals, just missing out on a trip to Columbus.

Because of their efforts, the Wildcats finished seventh at regionals, just a week after winning a district title. “I feel honored to be able to (make it to Columbus) in my senior year,� Shrewsbury said. “I have dedicated so much time and training into this track season. To be able to compete in Columbus is such an honor.�

Sharing the success with his teammates is important to Shrewsbury, too. “The relay team) has spent numerous hours on the technical aspects of our running, such as block starts, handoffs and team chemistry,� Shrewsbury said. “It started in the weight room. We have been

Hoodlebrink finishes fourth Eastwood sophomore long distance runner Tim Hoodlebrink led the way at state with a fourth place in the 800 meter run, finishing in 1:55.09.

The top three finishers were all seniors, led by champion Sam Prakel (1:52.32), a senior from Versailles who was less than two seconds off the D-II and stadium record.

Hoodlebrink took second in Lexington, running the second best 800 time (1:54.13) in school history. “That guy was impressive,� Sabo said. “Last year’s state champion in the 800 finally passed him with 15 meters to go, and Tim’s only a sophomore.

He’s just running times that sometimes a sophomore shouldn’t be running right now.�

In the D-II girls meet, Eastwood senior Aricka LaVoy, who will play college volleyball next year, was sixth in the long jump with a leap of 17-ž.

LaVoy had two fouls, more than any of the top five finishers, but she was just over a foot behind champion Ja’la Henderson (18-2), a Meadowdale sophomore. She took third at the regional meet.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are definitely a family. Nowadays, to make it to state at such a high level, you really have to have the team chemistry. We really consider each other as a family â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we spend a lot of time together outside of track and get along great.â&#x20AC;?

Shrewsbury credits coach Brian Ryman, a former All-American at Ashland University who still holds two indoor track records at his alma mater, with continuing to bring the Woodmore track program along. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is definitely qualified due to his collegiate career at Ashland,â&#x20AC;? Shrewsbury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has shaped our team to compete at such high levels. (Ryman) is the reason we were prepared enough to win our district and advance so many people to regionals and state.â&#x20AC;?

Woodmore senior Megan Pendleton is the lone female who qualified for state.

Pendleton, the youngest of the Pendleton throwing dynasty, placed eighth at state in the state meet, throwing 127 feet, seven inches. She was 11th a year ago.

Her older sister Emily holds the D-III all-meet state record (183-3) set in 2007 and her other older sister Erin holds the D-III state meet and Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium record (168-10), set in 2008.

Other Woodmore girls placing at regionals were Karli Keaton (fifth in the long jump), Courtney Burner (eighth in the 1,600; 11th in the 3,200), Mikayla Baer (eighth in the discus; 12th in the shot put) and Allie Wank (10th in the 800) and Jordan Grcegorczyk (12th in the pole vault).

As a team, the Wildcats finished in 14th place with 20 points.

The other boys who placed at regionals were Dan Sprinski and Matt Robleski. Sprinski was sixth in the high jump with a leap of 6 feet, 2 inches, 14th in the long jump (17-9Âź), Robleski was 10th in the 1,600 (4:45.62) and 13th in the 3200 (10:55.55) and Ryan Sandwisch hit 11-6 in the pole vault.

Other members of the relay team also competing in individual events were Travis (ninth in the 110 hurdles) and Brown (11th in the 400). The 4x400 relay team of Travis, Brown, Anthony and Sandwisch was eighth in 3:46.11.

City’s top hitter stars for ‘Chopper,’ then college ball

“

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

It’s probably third or fourth (on my list) considering the Marine Corps scholarship is in there...

“

Waite High School graduate Joshua Murphy is on a roll.

The left-handed pitcher has, in just the last several weeks: • Won the City League batting title.

• Earned a boatload of college scholarships.

• Received Waite’s Top Scholar Athlete Award.

• Committed to play baseball at Baldwin-Wallace University.

• Helped Pemberville American Legion Post 183 to a pair of summer tournament championships.

Murphy, 18, a first-team All-CL and all-district selection this season, is in his first season with coach Don “Chopper” Schmeltz’s Pemberville Legion team.

“We’ve won the only two tournaments we’ve been in so far,” said Murphy, who is in his first season with the team. “I’m pitching really well right now. I’ve gone two complete games, one a shutout in the Pemberville tournament and another close game against the second-best team in our tournament in Erie, Pa. It’s good competition and a very good team, and (Schmeltz) is an awesome coach. He knows the game so well.”

Murphy said he chose to play at Baldwin-Wallace because he “loved the school” and its sports management program. He also looks forward to playing for coach Brian Harrison, who had success at his previous stops at the University of Dayton, Urbana University, and Cuyahoga Community College.

“The coach was really enthusiastic,” said Murphy, who hopes to one day work in a baseball front office. “Every other program he’s been at, he’s had huge turnarounds. I visited in February and it just seemed like a good fit. The campus is like its own little small town and it’s a good college atmosphere.”

Waite baseball coach Dave Quiroga said Murphy, the Indians’ top pitcher this season, should be able to compete at the next level.

“He has potential to step in there as a freshman and contribute, in relief or as a starter,” Quiroga said. “I think he’ll do

The City's best hitter, Waite grad Joshua Murphy is now playing for the Pemberville Legion. (Photo courtesy of Innovations Portrait Studio/innovationsvisualimpact.com) well.”

Quiroga ought to know. He coached Murphy for the past four years and watched him morph into a reliable, talented athlete on the field and a dedicated student in the classroom. Murphy graduated seventh in his class, with a 3.75 GPA. “He’s a great kid, a real hard worker,” Quiroga said. “He was our coach on the field. If I called out a bunt coverage, he was letting everyone know where to go. If we needed to cut runners down, he let guys know where they needed to go. He knows quite a bit for his age and communicates with his teammates very well. He was just a joy to have around the field. I’d take nine more of him any day of the week, on the ball field or in the classroom.”

On the mound, Murphy went 3-7 with

a 2.05 ERA, 65 strikeouts and 26 walks in 58 innings.

“We didn’t play much defense behind him, and he didn’t get a lot of run support,” Quiroga said. “He had a nine-strikeout, two-hit game in the City League semifinals against (eventual champion) Start.”

Murphy earned first-team all-league honors for the second straight year after batting .433 with 18 RBIs, two doubles, one triple, three home runs, 20 runs and 10 walks. He was also hit by a pitch nine times and had a .556 on-base percentage.

“Moving him to the three-spot this year (from clean-up) and losing Dylan Clifton last year, he was pitched really tough all year,” Quiroga said. “We didn’t have a lot of people to protect him and get him some more pitches and some better looks. I

don’t think he ever saw one fastball. He was pitched extremely tough all year long.”

Murphy said he had the kind of season he envisioned individually, but he was “frustrated” by Waite’s season.

“We did not, as a team, do what we were looking forward to doing,” he said.

“We had two good pitchers and some good players, but we couldn’t get clutch hitting.”

Academically, Murphy reeled in the awards. He received the Maxine Cosgrave Scholarship Award, a U.S. Marine Corps Distinguished Athlete Scholarship; a Baldwin-Wallace Trustee Scholarship, a Baldwin-Wallace grant totaling $17,000 a year, the Waite Alumni Scholarship, and the Waite Gear-Up Scholarship.

The big one, however, was being named Waite’s Top Scholar Athlete for 2012-13.

“It’s nice when a baseball player gets it,” said Quiroga, who won the award in 2003.

Murphy said the scholar athlete award was something he was shooting for since he was a freshman.

“Just to be labeled the top scholar athlete was an awesome feeling,” he said. “I had to put so much work into the classroom and on the field. It leaves an impression on the teachers and the other students.

I’ve thought about that since my freshman year. It’s probably third or fourth (on my list), considering the Marine Corps (scholarship) is in there and first team All-City.

Getting first team all-district was also a huge honor.”

Canen Smith qualifies for world event in Czech Republic

“

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

In the gym I've benched upwards of around 500 in a bench shirt...

“

Canen Smith accumulated 14 medals – first-place medals, mind you – in two years as a member of Clay High School’s powerlifting team.

Smith, a 2011 Clay graduate, earned the biggest weightlifting award of his life on May 18-19 at the 2013 American Powerlifting Federation Master, Submaster, Junior & Teen Nationals at the Adoba Hotel in Dearborn, Mich.

Smith competed in the 181-pound men’s teen “raw” division, for ages 18-19, and took first place with an overall threelift total of 1,278.7 pounds (the meet was scored in kilograms). He had a 336-pound bench press, a 523.5-pound deadlift and a 418.5-pound squat. The runner-up had a 1,113-pound total.

“I took first place for my age and weight,” said Smith, who turned 20 on June 10. “I also won the Teen Best Lifter Award. It was my last meet as a teen. I was very happy with the results I came up with at that meet.”

Competing in the raw division meant that lifters were only allowed to use a weightlifting belt and wrist straps during competition. No powerlifting suits or knee wraps were allowed.

“It was definitely one of the best meets I’ve ever had in my life, because of the progress I made going from lifting with all that gear to competing raw,” said the 5-foot-

Clay graduate and world-record power lifter Canen Smith. (Photo by Epifoto) 7 Smith, who lives in Oregon. “This was my first meet competing raw.”

He said he had to cut weight in order to compete at 181 pounds.

“I weighed about 191 until about two days before the meet,” Smith said. “I drank a lot of water — three gallons a day for two days, then two gallons for two days, then one gallon for one day. On Friday (before

the meet), I couldn’t drink any water. You don’t eat any food on Friday, either.”

Smith’s deadlift was seven pounds off his career best, which came when he was wearing a deadlift suit.

“That makes a hell of a difference,” he said. “That’s the most I’ve done on the bench without a bench shirt. Lifting in gear is a totally different game. In the gym I’ve

benched upwards of around 500 in a bench shirt, probably around 6-7 months ago. If you know how to use your gear and your gear fits right, I know guys who can increase 350 pounds in a bench shirt.”

Smith broke the meet’s teen raw division records in all three lifts and, by finishing in the top three in his age bracket and weight class, he qualified to compete in the World Powerlifting Congress Worlds in Prague, Czech Republic, in late October.

“That’s for a week and I’d like to go,” Smith said, “but it’s a money issue right now. It would cost a little over $3,000. I’m not sure I’m going. It’s still kind of up in the air right now.”

Whether he makes it to Prague or not, Smith said he will continue to compete as long as he’s able.

“I’ll start by going raw, with no gear,” he said, “and then gradually compete with gear.”

The Press Box Drew Plummer signs to play at Tiffin University Kendra Eitniear and Drew Plummer (Lake), sophomore forwards with the Owens Community College women’s soccer team, will stay teammates next year as the two have signed at Tiffin University.

Tiffin is an NCAA Division II school and they compete in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. They finished 9-8-2 last year and advanced to the GLIAC quarterfinals.

Plummer came to the Express this past season following one year at Baldwin Wallace University.

This year, with the Express, she scored the team’s first goal of the season — just under six minutes into a match against Cincinnati State. She would go on to finish third on the team in scoring with five goals and seven assists. She finished second on the team in assists and fifth in goals scored.

Following the season, Plummer was named Second Team All-Region XII. Plummer is currently tied for the single game assists mark with three, which she achieved against Kellogg Community College on Oct. 13.

At Lake, Plummer broke the career goals record with 53 and career assists record with 19.

Of last year’s six-player sophomore class, Eitniear and Plummer are the first two to play at a four-year school.

Eitniear (Swanton) leaves the Express as the program’s all-time leading scorer, and she is the program’s first NJCAA Athletic All-American.

Following the season, she was named First Team All-Region XII and an NJCAA DI Honorable Mention All-American. Additionally, she was named the Female Athlete of the Year by the athletic department.

All together, Eitniear holds the marks for second (21) and third (11) highest single season goal totals in program history, is second (50) and fifth (26) in single season points, first in career goals (32), second in career assists (12) and first in career points (76).

The Walleye are at home the day after Thanksgiving (November 29) and have two games during the Christmas holiday season (December 28 & 30).

“Last season our fans set records in attendance, group ticket sales, youth hockey and school day tickets. We appreciate all their support and look forward to providing them with another season of fun events, both on and off the ice, and of course, great hockey,“ says Erik Ibsen, Toledo Walleye assistant general manager.

The Walleye fan experience will again include the ever-popular Scout Sleepovers, School Celebration Day, Jersey Auctions, and Hockey Heritage Weekend.

The Toledo staff congratulated five former Walleye players who helped the Grand Rapids Griffins win its first Calder Cup championship, defeating the Syracuse Crunch in game six. Gleason Fournier, Luke Glendening, Andrej Nestrasil and Petr Mrazek all played for Toledo this season and Brian Lashoff played during the 2010-2011 season.

U.S. Paralympics, a division of the United States Olympic Committee, today announced 76 athletes have been selected to compete for the United States at the 2013 International Paralympic Committee Athletics World Championships, July 19-28, in Lyon, France.

On the team is Oregon resident Zena Cole. Last year, Cole returned home from a month in London where she won a bronze medal in the Paralympic Games and set a new American record for the discus throw for a quadriplegic.

Cole, the oldest member of the American team at 55, broke her own Americas record for her class with a throw of 5.25 meters (18.04 feet). Twenty six year-old Josie Pearson of Australia won gold with a throw of 6.58 meters.

The event in France is the first major international track and field competition since Team USA won 28 medals in the sport at the London 2012 Paralympic Games.

“Over the weekend at the national championships, there were some incredible performances that we hope will translate to medals in Lyon,” said Cathy Sellers, high performance director for U.S. Paralympics track and field. “While we have come to expect great things from athletes like Tatyana McFadden, who won her six events, or David Prince, who set two world records, there were a lot of newcomers who caught our attention. It is an exciting time for U.S. Paralympics track and field.”

The world team is highlighted by 23 men and 11 women who competed in London. Of the 18 Team USA athletes who combined for 28 medals at the Paralympic Games, 15 are on the world team.

Leatherman gone, but Mendoza’s legacy continues

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

“

I didn’t think about it at all. It really shocked me I got it, and it was an honor, too. I worked hard for it. I accomplished what I wanted to, but I thought I could have done a little bit better.

“

Filomena Mendoza might end up playing every position on the softball diamond by the time her career is over at Gibsonburg.

Mendoza, the 2013 Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press and Toledo Area Athletic Conference Player of the Year, played third base for the Golden Bears a year ago as a sophomore. This past season, coach Kyle Leatherman shifted Mendoza from second base to right field about halfway through the year.

“We wanted to get some different bats in the lineup,” said Leatherman, the All-Press Co-Coach of the Year and TAAC Coach of the Year. “She’s a versatile player and she filled in nicely. She was very open to it. We had 10 (letter winners) on our team who were all team players. They would do whatever it took to make it the best team we could put out there. They didn’t care where they played.”

Mendoza, who will be a senior this fall, said she was fine with the move to the outfield.

“Whatever Coach wants, I do what he says,” she said. “It went well. I just changed my mindset and went with the game.”

Leatherman, who resigned his position at Gibsonburg to take an administrative position in the Bluffton school system, guided the Bears to the TAAC championship (12-0) and a 20-7 record this season. They reached the Division III district semifinals before losing to Elmwood.

Leatherman was named the conference’s co-coach of the year last season after Gibsonburg went 19-6.

“It’s always an honor,” said Leatherman, who spent five years as the Bears’ coach. “I look at it as a coaching staff award, and you can’t do anything without the players. When the players do what you ask them to do, whether its individual or

Filomena Mendoza. (Photo courtesy of Innovations Portrait Studio/innovationsvisualimpact.com) team awards, if you work hard and have a successful season, the awards will fall into place. With good kids and good coaches, you’re rewarded by your peers who think of you in positive ways.”

Mendoza certainly earned the TAAC Player of the Year honor. A second-team all-conference pick in 2012, she flirted with

a .500 batting average for most of the season. She finished at .480 and contributed three home runs, three triples, 14 doubles, a school-record 48 RBIs and scored 43 runs.

She had a .765 slugging percentage and a .534 on-base percentage.

“Last year I thought she got shortchanged (making second team All-TAAC),”

Leatherman said. “I thought she was one of our best offensive players last year. She had an outstanding year last year and worked even harder on her hitting in the offseason, and it really showed when spring came around. She was a player who was constantly working on her swing. She would go 3-for-4 and still be unhappy with how she hit the ball. She’s a perfectionist who wants to bat 1.000 every game and all season long.”

Mendoza said being named the TAAC’s top player for 2013 came as a surprise. She was also voted honorable mention all-district.

“I didn’t think about it at all,” she said.

“It really shocked me I got it, and it was an honor, too. I worked hard for it. I accomplished what I wanted to, but I thought I could have done a little bit better.”

She added that batting .500 on the season would have been nice, but she realizes softball can be a funny game and not everything can go your way.

“I didn’t get some hits I should have gotten throughout the season,” said Mendoza, who batted third in the lineup. “Some girls just made some good plays. I was a little upset, but overall I’m happy with the outcome of it all. I’m shooting for it next year.”

Mendoza, who wants to play in college, is playing travel ball this summer for Toledo-based SGS Magic Blue, as an outfielder.

“We’re doing pretty well,” she said.

“We have our ups and downs, but we’ve won two tournaments so far. I’m playing pretty good. I have to keep everything going that I’m doing.”

Mendoza said replacing Leatherman at Gibsonburg next season will take some getting used to.

“He was a great coach,” she said. “He cared a lot about us. I’m going to miss him in general. He worked hard and did his job, and he will be missed very much next year.”

Catcher Olivia Reeder chosen Owens softball team’s MVP

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Genoa graduate Olivia Reeder received more accolades in high school than she can probably count, but she was never named the Comets’ most valuable player in basketball or soccer, despite scoring more career goals than any girl in Genoa soccer history.

It wasn’t as if Reeder didn’t deserve her team’s MVP award, it’s just that Genoa never gave out that particular award.

That’s what makes this season that much sweeter for the Owens Community College sophomore catcher, who was recently named the team’s MVP by the Express coaches.

“I definitely try to be an asset on the team, but I wasn’t expecting it or shooting for it,” Reeder said of the award. “I play to help my team. I was truly happy and it was a great honor to know my coaches and, hopefully, my teammates view me as a most valuable player. I’ve definitely been better with my bat this year. I definitely feel more confident, especially at the plate.”

Owens softball coach Duane Lanham said there were a few criteria for naming the MVP this season, including statistics.

“We looked at the importance of Olivia’s position on our team, since she was our only catcher, and her vast improvement from the offensive side this year versus last year,” Lanham said.

“She made great improvement there.

We have a freshman pitcher (Cardinal Stritch grad Katie Olivia Reeder Turski) and Olivia did a great job working with her. From a (pitcher-catcher) battery standpoint, she controlled that whole situation. And, she’s a good student.”

In 36 games Reeder, who has a 3.48 GPA, is batting .342 with 11 doubles, one home run, one triple, 36 RBI, 22 runs and seven stolen bases. The Express went into regional play with a 21-15 record and finished second (8-4) in the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference.

“I’m proud of my team and what we’re doing,” Reeder said, The 5-foot-1 Reeder showed a marked

improvement at the plate this season after starting 37 games at catcher last season. She batted .185 with 12 runs, two doubles, one triple, four RBI and 10 walks as a freshman.

She credits Express hitting coach Kevin Snyder for helping her figure things out.

“I work a lot with Coach Snyder,” she said. “He worked with me a lot and helped me transfer my weight (at the plate). That was my biggest problem. I was too far back.

Over the winter I just got into the repetition of it and really came around. He was patient with me on that.”

While Lanham was impressed with Reeder’s improvement on the field, he was just as pleased with her demeanor off the field.

“She’s one of our leaders,” the coach said. “She accepted that role and did a great job. She’s a pleasure to have. She does her job, she knows what her job is and she demonstrates the leadership role and shows what the kids need to do. If you have someone where you say, ‘This is what I want you to be like,’ that would be her.”

Reeder said a lot of her leadership role comes with the territory.

“I feel like as a catcher, on the field you have to be a leader and be in command,” she said. “You’re the only one who can see

the entire field and you have to take control and be vocal. I try to be a leader and be an example off the field. The catcher has to fill that type of role.”

Reeder, who stayed relatively healthy this season despite the pounding a catcher takes, relishes her role as a kind of mentor to Turski, who is Owens’ No. 1 pitcher. Turski is 20-10 with a 4.02 ERA, with 18 complete games in her 26 regular season starts, plus she started every NJCAA tournament game except one.

“She’s improved tremendously from last fall to now, even from the beginning of the season to now,” Reeder said. “She’s just a hard worker and I admire that so much from her. She always wants to pitch some more, and she’s never complained even after pitching almost every game. I think that’s what makes us so good together, that we respect each other and trust each other.”

Reeder’s eligibility at Owens ends this season, but she could possibly play for the University of Toledo in a few months.

“I’m going to summer nursing school at UT, and it’s possible I will be playing there next year,” she said. “It’s in the talks still, but there’s a good chance. I’m either going to play for UT or I’m not playing.”

Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. Toll free numbers may or may not reach Canada.

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

Hi there, my name is Mamba, and I am the sweetest girl you will ever meet! I was picked up as a stray and my eye was severely injured to the point that they had to remove it....now I can wink at all the cute boys! I am looking for a family with older children and a big back yard to run in. I love other dogs but I can be so playful that I will need to meet any that I may live with. If you are looking to add a fabulous addition to your family, look no further! 60+ of my canine friends and I are currently up for adoption at the Lucas County Dog Warden - 410 S Erie St 419.213.2800, open Mon-Fri 10-6, and Sat 10-5. The LCDW is always looking to recruit more volunteers as well as donations of blankets, towels and dog supplies. If you are missing your dog PLEASE come and look at the Dog Warden's office. You can check us out on Petfinder.com, Petharbor.com, and on Facebook.
