Record rain flushes phosphorous

Blooms could be severe By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com If you are hoping that there is any chance that harmful algal blooms will not occur in Lake Erie again this year, think again. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, 2015 looks to be the second worst year ever for HABs, based on a phosphorous load from the Maumee River that has already exceeded recommended target loads. The NOAA, a federal agency, and its research partners, using an ensemble modeling approach, predict that the 2015 western Lake Erie bloom season will not only be among the most severe in recent years, it could become the second most severe behind the record-setting 2011 bloom. While scientists say it could take 5 to

10 years to receive the 40 percent reduction they are recommending, this year’s total phosphorous load from the Maumee is already at 1,586 tons, way over the 860 tons recommended to keep HABs in check. That does not include additional phosphorous that could load into the lake yet this year. The scientists say the Maumee River’s spring load has proven to provide an accurate forecast based on model forecasts, and all of its tributaries in Northwest Ohio contribute. Scientists say a major point source for phosphorous loaded from the Maumee River originates with farm fertilizer and animal manure. They add that the result of the phosphorous that feeds the cyanobacterial blooms include a higher cost for cities and local governments to treat their drinking water, as well as risk to swimmers in high concentration areas, and a nuisance to boaters when blooms form. These effects will vary in locations and severity with

winds, and will peak in August or early September. The scientists say the prediction does not necessarily mean Toledo’s drinking water will be deemed too toxic to drink like it was one weekend last August — measures have already been taken by the City of Toledo to treat water with additional soluble carbon to help eliminate the toxicity. Tadd Nicholson, executive director of the Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers Association and Kirk Merritt, executive director of the Ohio Soybean Council, responded, “Grain farmers from around the state expressed concern today about the Lake Erie algae forecast. This issue affects all Ohioans and farmers will continue to demonstrate their commitment to continuous improvement by increasing conservation practices, investing in vital research and participating in ongoing educational programs. “While these actions will make a difference, one variable that farmers cannot control is rainfall. Unfortunately Ohio has experienced record rainfall this year – making a difficult and complicated problem even more so. Rain can be a major factor in large runoff events, not only in agriculture but among all sources of nutrient loss. “Nutrients are a natural and necessary part of growing crops and always will be. The good news is Ohio has done an excellent job of keeping the focus on finding practical, science-based solutions to keep the nutrients on the fields where they belong. We do not have to choose between food production and clean water. Both can be achieved.” Severity exceeds 2014 The bloom will be expected to measure 8.7 on the severity index with a range from 8.1 to potentially as high as 9.5. This is more severe than the last year’s 6.5, and may equal or exceed 2013, which had the second worse bloom in this century. The severity index runs from a high of 10, which corresponds to the 2011 bloom, the worst ever observed, to zero. A severity above 5 indicates blooms of particular concern. “While we are forecasting a severe bloom, much of the lake will be fine most of the time. The bloom will develop from west to east in the Lake Erie Western Basin, beginning this month. It is important to note that these effects will vary with winds, and will peak in September,” said Richard Stumpf, Ph.D., NOAA’s ecological forecasting applied research lead at NCCOS, who formally presented the forecast in a media event and science presentation at Ohio State University’s Stone Lab on Lake Erie Thursday afternoon. Holly Bamford, Ph.D., assistant NOAA administrator for the National Ocean Service performing duties of the assistant secretary of commerce for conservation and management, added, “This is the fourth seasonal harmful algal bloom outlook for Lake Erie that NOAA has issued. “NOAA’s ecological forecasting initiative, including this Lake Erie seasonal forecast, the NOAA weekly HAB bulletin, Continued on page 2

Supreme Court rules

Officer lacked authority By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The application of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and a similar article of the Ohio Constitution was a major part of a court case that emanated from a traffic stop in 2011 by a Lake Township police officer on I-280. The Ohio Supreme Court last month affirmed a decision by the Sixth District Court of Appeals that the officer lacked authority to enforce a lane violation on an interstate highway and the ensuing search of the vehicle was unreasonable. The Supreme Court also agreed the appeals court prop-

erly ordered drugs seized during the search to be excluded from evidence. “A traffic stop for a minor misdemeanor made outside a police officer’s statutory jurisdiction or authority violates the guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizures established by Article 1, Section 14 of the Ohio Constitution,” the court ruled. Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor and justices Paul Pfeiffer, Terrence O’Donnell, Judith Ann Lanzinger, and William O’Neill affirmed the appeals court decision while justices Judith French and Sharon Kennedy dissented.

had pled no contest in 2011 in Wood County Common Pleas Court and was sentenced to a mandatory term of three years in prison for possession of 30 mg. of oxycodone, a second degree felony, after being stopped by the officer for a lane violation. The appeals court ruled in 2013 that while Brown’s Fourth Amendment rights were not violated because the officer had probable cause to initiate the stop, the officer violated a section of the Ohio Revised Code which specifies marked lane violations on interstate highways are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Ohio State Highway Patrol and sheriff departments. “Further, no extenuating circumstances were presented to justify an extraterritorial stop by township police officers for this type of traffic violation,” the appeals court ruled. “Therefore, we find the extraterritorial stop was unreasonable under the Ohio Constitution.” The officer was watching southbound traffic on I-280 in March 2011 and began following another vehicle before noticing the passenger side tires of Brown’s vehicle cross over the white lane marker for about 100 feet, according to court records. The officer continued to follow Brown’s vehicle and initiated a stop near the Ohio Turnpike. The officer didn’t cite Brown for a lane violation but did arrest him for possession of drugs. Brown denied crossing the line and said he was driving cautiously to avoid being stopped because he had an outstanding warrant and was in possession of drugs, court records say. The Supreme Court’s majority acknowledged a 2009 court case that holds “…a traffic stop made outside the officer’s statutory jurisdiction but founded on probable cause is not per se unreasonable for purposes of the Fourth Amendment. However...decisions interpreting the United States Constitution do not control the analysis here because the Ohio Constitution is a document of independent force and it is our charge to determine and not to disturb the clear protections provided by the drafters of our Constitution.” In her dissent, Justice French argued the traffic stop didn’t violate the Fourth Amendment because it was based upon probable cause and “…similarly did not violate …the Ohio Constitution so as to re-

quire exclusion of the evidence.” “This court has repeatedly recognized that the language in Article 1, Section 14 of the Ohio Constitution is nearly identical to the language of the Fourth Amendment,” she wrote. Rather than “looking to the text of the Ohio Constitution” the majority relied on one of its earlier opinions to hold that the state’s constitution “affords greater protection than the Fourth Amendment against searches and seizures conducted by a law enforcement officer who lacks statutory authority to arrest,” her dissent says. Justice Kennedy concurred with the dissent. Lake Township Police Chief Mark Hummer said he was disappointed with the decision and disagrees with the court’s interpretation of the law. “Our officers are just as well trained as any officer in municipalities of the largest jurisdictions,” he said. The chief urged State Representative Tim Brown and State Senator Randy Gardner to work to clarify the pertinent sections of the Ohio Revised Code that determine jurisdiction on interstate highway systems for township officers. Wood County Prosecuting Attorney Paul Dobson said he feared the decision will result in more uncertainty. “The decision is unfortunate and, in my opinion and the opinion of the members of the several organizations which submitted amicus curiae, fosters an uncertainty in the constitutional analysis that the U.S. Supreme Court attempted to put to rest,” he said. “This uncertainty will likely result in difficulty for courts in correctly interpreting this most important of constitutional protections and cause hesitation for law enforcement officers at their jurisdictional boundaries. Such hesitation can result, and has resulted, in harm. It is, however, the law of the land in Ohio and law enforcement will, of course, abide by it.”

Ukranian professionals get taste of Birmingham By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com

Getting engaged The six-week program works to engage citizens, including youth, seniors, LGBT, and neighborhood groups to be involved in solving community problems. “We use some of the community organizing tools that (have been) successfully used in the U.S. for more than 50 years,” said Balint. “But this is relatively new in Central and Eastern Europe.” The exchange program is funded by the U.S. State Department Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs in an attempt to help our country spread its good-

“

In Central and Eastern Europe, people have a long tradition of expecting their government to solve all the issues.

“

For a group of European young professionals, coming to the United States was a chance to get their taste of the American way of life. A six-member Ukrainian delegation came to Toledo for the eight-day Open World: Energy Efficiency program. For the East Toledo leaders who helped bring them here, the experience was a chance to show the Ukranians what Birmingham, a Hungarian ethnic neighborhood, has to offer. The Birmingham Development Corporation hosted the group of young professionals. The delegation later joined people from Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia who were also in America as part of the Great Lakes Consortium for International Training and Development, a program that works to provide a professional development opportunity for up-and-coming and mid-level professionals to gain knowledge of U.S. practices. The program is designed to engage citizens and community leaders and inform them of changes in legislation that make a difference in minority communities and strengthen democracy. Because of its Hungarian ethnicity, Birmingham adds to the cultural diversity of the east side. The Hungarian roots are the reason for Toledo and Szeged, Hungary having a sister relationship, one that recently celebrated 25 years. This connection has been instrumental in helping Hungarians and other eastern Europeans visit the area via the GLC for years. Elizabeth Balint, Ph.D., the project manager who arrived with the Ukrainians, says the GLC has collaborated with the University of Toledo, Bowling Green State University, Lourdes University, and the WSOS Community Action Commission to bring 1,110 international guests to the U.S. since 1999 while sending 900 Americans overseas. “They learned a lot of energy efficiency methods that we are using in our area, including best practices from the University of Toledo, Better Buildings of Northwest Ohio, and WSOS in Fremont. Not only did they learn from us, but our community partners also learned from the Ukrainian experience,” Balint said.

will and democracy towards others. This is important because “in Central and Eastern Europe,” Balint said, “people have a long tradition of expecting their government to solve all the issues.” Balint notes that financial resources are limited because these countries have elected government representatives who are sometimes not knowledgeable about the issues their citizens face. It’s about giving a voice to those who don’t have one so they can better represent their community and, according to Balint, “contribute to changes in the direction that the community actually wants.” Hungarian Peter Deak was not part of the Hungarian delegation, but he has been a benefactor of the GLC program before. Deak, who attended a three-week internship that was offered by the University of Toledo Law School, works in Budapest, Hungary as a transactional lawyer for an English-based law firm, CMS Cameron McKenna. “Having an insight to the American legal system was a unique opportunity for all of us and truthfully a lifelong experience,” Deak said. “We found each and every visit and meeting useful and every person we have met was so welcoming and helpful.

It is very unlikely for a young Hungarian professional to meet a federal judge of the United States, and when such occasion happened to us, we were treated as special and important guests. It felt really welcoming and it shows the open mind of the people of Toledo.” Deak and the other students met with federal agencies as well as the prosecutor’s office of Lucas County and the Lucas County Sheriff’s Office to observe the duties and tasks of the attorneys and police officers while attending trials, court hearings and social events. “It was really interesting, since I found that there is not too much difference between the legal systems (of both countries),” Deak said. “Of course, I am not trying to reject all the differences of details which we definitely have between a civillaw legal system and a common-law legal system. But when it comes to the common sense of law, there are no big differences. What is a crime in the U.S. is likely being the same crime in Hungary as well. If a party fails to fulfill its obligations under an agreement, it would be liable for breach of agreement under both legal systems. “(There were) two issues which really made a difference for me. One is the wide range officials that you elect here have in the U.S. and the other is the jury system. Generally speaking, in Hungary we do not include citizens in judicial-decision making. Without starting a debate on whether it is good or not, I would like to say that I like the idea behind your system. Through the jury service the people (the cross-section of a community) feel that they have a voice, they can tell what they think about cases that happened in their community. If the people are feeling involved in decision making, they are likely to feel that they can take control over their life, they can make a change.”

Late sexton’s sick pay divides Lake Twp. trustees By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Discussion of a resolution to pay the widow of a Lake Township employee for the employee’s accrued sick time hours became heated Tuesday as the township trustees couldn’t agree on whether they should proceed without a written policy in place. Richard Welling, a trustee, read a resolution to pay the widow of Dan Sprinski, the township cemetery sexton who died suddenly in late May, for the 240 sicktime hours he had accrued – approximately worth $5,280. But the other trustees, Melanie Bowen and Jeff Pettit, didn’t second his motion for consideration and the resolution didn’t receive a vote. Welling then called for a discussion of the matter, which ignited a sharp exchange as Pettit and Bowen said the payment shouldn’t be made without a written policy. The resolution says that the relevant section of the Ohio Revised Code says public or private employers “…may pay all wages or personal earnings due to the deceased employee …to the surviving spouse…” “I feel we can’t pay taxpayers funds without an express policy to do so,” Bowen said, adding other towns have varying policies with different payment levels.

Welling said resolutions are often implemented to cover areas not covered by policies. He said he would be able to leave the meeting “with my head held high” for offering the resolution and noted Sprinski would be collecting on the sick time if he had been hospitalized. Bowen said that was a moot point. Sprinski is survived by a wife and two grown children. He was 47 at the time of his death and had worked for the township since 1999. In 2014, he was promoted to cemetery sexton, replacing Gary Schulte, who retired. Vicki Schwamberger, fiscal officer, said township employees are allowed 120 hours of sick time at the start of each year and can accrue the hours in succeeding years. Arlyn Brinker, a resident, said the matter was a moral issue and by not authorizing the payment to Sprinski’s widow the

trustees may encourage other employees to waste their sick time. Linda Crews, Sprinski’s mother, asked the trustees to “have a heart” and said her son used his sick time judiciously when he was needed to care for his wife and children. “He worked more than 16 years for you,” she said. Sprinski was among a group of nonpolice township employees who recently agreed to be represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 245 for collective bargaining. The State Employment Relations Board has certified the results of the election but a contract hasn’t been ratified. After Tuesday’s meeting, Welling said Sprinski’s family had approached union officials for assistance in having his accrued

sick time paid out to them but it was decided instead to have the issue decided at a trustee’s meeting. “The sick time resolution allowed the trustees to act with a reasonable level of compassion toward a deceased employee and his surviving family members,” Welling said. “It allows a board of trustees to act with empathy and not as indifferent bureaucrats concerned with esoteric points of procedure.” In other business, the trustees approved a declaration of emergency due to the rain storm on June 26 that caused widespread flooding. Police Chief Mark Hummer said the declaration was recommended by the Wood County Emergency Management Agency office in the event funding becomes available for the area to cover damage expenses.

Oregon to hold meeting on aftermath of storm By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

Reducing flooding

Oregon has spent millions on drainage By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Since 2010, the city has worked on projects to reduce sanitary sewer backups and overflows in the collection system. “We’ve done more than we have ever done,” said Mayor Mike Seferian. “In cities of 25,000 and less, we’ve done more than anyone around us.” As a result of various wastewater treatment plant and collection system evaluations and design studies conducted between 2009 and 2012, the city has completed or is in the process of completing many projects that will help to prevent sanitary sewer backups and overflows, according to Public Service Director Paul Roman. Projects are being completed in the sanitary sewer collection system as well as at the wastewater treatment plant. Projects taking place in the collection system are reducing the amount of storm water inflow & outflow (I & I) (rain and groundwater) leaking into sanitary sewers, according to Roman. Projects taking place at the wastewater treatment plant are increasing the overall treatment capacity of the plant in order to be able to treat more flow during large rain events. The city has also conducted smoke testing on the older sanitary sewers. Over 290,000 linear feet, or almost 55 miles, of sanitary sewer was smoke tested by city crews to identify both public and private sources of inflow & infiltration in the collection system, according to Roman. Sewer improvement projects The city will have spent a total of $19.4 million to reduce backups and overflows on projects completed from 2010 to 2017. Among the projects: • Phase 1 of the Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation project completed in 2010 at the sanitary sewer crossings of Otter Creek and Wheeling Street for $783,701.37; • Phase 2 of the Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation project completed in 2013 at Cresceus Heights and Wheeling Street for $2.3 million; • Phase 1 of the Sanitary Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation Project, at various locations across the city, in 2013 for $65,465; • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for sewer facility improve-

Often during large rain events, the wastewater flow coming from these areas is two to three times the allowable contracted amount of 5 million gallons per day.

being required to construct 2 million gallon flow equalization tanks, or sewage holding tanks, that will hold back sewage from the Oregon wastewater treatment plant during large rain events. The tanks, though in the design phase, has not yet been constructed, so wastewater flow during the June 27 rain event was likely very much above the contract amount of 5 million gallons per day, according to Roman.

Drainage improvements Oregon also invested over $10 million in projects to improve storm water drainage across main drainage paths. Projects have been focused on the downstream reaches and outlets of existing drainageways while future projects are planned to address concerns in the upstream areas of the city, according to Roman. The $4 million Big Ditch Improvement project and $4 million Oregon Flood Relief and Erosion Control project have increased drainage capacity, eliminated eroding roadside ditches, and provided water quality and wildlife habitat improvements, said Roman. The Flood Relief and Erosion Control project consisted of relocating Amolsch, Driftmeyer and Johlin ditches to a realigned Heckman Ditch that provides one large open channel to convey drainage for four watersheds to Maumee Bay. Amolsch, Driftmeyer and Johlin ditches are relocated around the existing industrial properties between Cedar Point Road and Lake Erie. The undersized channel capacity of Amolsch and Driftmeyer ditches has been the cause of chronic flooding in the industrial areas. In addition to alleviating flooding in the immediate industrial areas, it will also help reduce flooding in the residential areas upstream. The Wolf Creek Relief Ditch project, which cost $710,907, provided an overflow channel to relieve flooding concerns on Wolf Creek downstream of Stadium Road. The city also operates an annual ditch maintenance program that debrushes overgrown ditch banks and removes blockages on an as needed basis. Additional projects to improve storm drainage include the Cresceus Heights Storm Detention and Storm Sewer Relief project in the Cresceus Heights area in 2012, at a cost of $137,088, and the Jersey Road and Van Buren Avenue Storm Sewer improvements this year at a cost of $82,267.

Projects in the next two years include: • Phase 3 of the Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project in the Euclid Park, Old Eastmoreland, Valley Park and Wheeling Street area next year for $1.9 million; • Phase 2 of the Wastewater Treatment Plant secondary treatment improvements at the wastewater treatment plant in 2017 for $6.8 million; • Phase 4 of the Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation project in the Moundview, East Hollywood, and Ketcham’s Little Farms area in 2017 for $1 million. Ten years ago, the city started a program that reimbursed residents up to $1,000 to install backflow preventers in their homes, said Seferian. “It’s a program we put in to help people, but few have taken advantage of it. It’s still going now,” he said. Backflow preventers in the sanitary sewers are required in new homes, he said. “It allows the sanitary to flow out of the house, but if the sanitary backs up, it can’t flow back in to your house.

You have to service your backflow preventer and clean it a couple of times per year. If you maintain it, you cut the percentages of sanitary backing up into your house astronomically,” he said.

Oregon will hold a meeting on Monday to address flooding and drainage issues following the June 27 storm that dropped over 6 inches of rain in many local areas. The meeting will take place in council chambers at 6:30 p.m. “We got more rain than most – over 6 inches,” said Mayor Mike Seferian. “There was a lot of flooding in general. People got water in basements, water in their crawl spaces, their houses, streets, yards. So there are people in the community who have questions. They want to know why this happened, and what is the city doing about it.” There is little the city can do when that much rain falls, said Seferian. In addition, there was a constant 25-35 mph northeast wind on the lake that caused the water to rise and push back on the entire storm sewer and ditch system, essentially stopping discharge into the lake. “When you get nearly 6.5 inches of rain, and you have a wind that stopped the ditches from flowing - and actually pushed water from the lake into the ditches - there is nothing we can do. Even if we would have doubled our income tax and put every bit of that money into drainage, we still would have had the same problem. If the lake is pushing back the flow of the ditches so tremendously that it actually reverses the flow of water, nothing good can happen,” said Seferian. “You can’t win that, no matter what you do.” The storm averaged 5-7.5 inches across all of Northwestern Ohio. The Oregon rain logger at the city’s Municipal Complex received 6.03” in just under 24 hours, according to Public Service Director Paul Roman. “No storm sewer or ditch drainage system is designed to handle this size of rain event,” said Roman. In the last 30 days, the city’s rain logger received almost 14” of rain, according to Roman. By comparison, the city’s average precipitation is 34” per year. “These saturated conditions increased the flooding impact witnessed during the 6” rain event.” The city does not have combined sewer systems, which frequently cause sewage overflows. Its sanitary wastewater system is separate from the storm water drainage system. But during extreme rain events, storm water will inadvertently enter the sanitary sewers through what is known as inflow and infiltration (I & I). Inflow and infiltration consist mainly of storm water seepage through pipe joints and manhole covers, as well as illegal direct connections such as sump pump discharge, footer drains, or downspout connects, according to Roman. Even though the city has had success in identifying and reducing I & I in the last seven years, I & I sources still exist and the volume is proportional to the magnitude of the storm event. In most extreme events, such as the June 27 rain, the separate systems basically become one if the rain levels rise high enough. “Sanitary sewers are designed and sized to only take wastewater from toilets, sinks, showers, and lavatories and are not able to handle large amounts of storm water, according to Roman. “These circumstances of extreme events deliver more water to the Oregon wastewater treatment

Oak Harborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Winters, Dowling play in WW II re-enactment The ceremony also saw the 122nd Army Band play American fanfare for assembling guests and Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) fired the traditional first shot and spoke before the crowd.

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com For Oak Harbor native Kevin Winters, the opening ceremonies for Camp Perryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual National Trophy Pistol and Rifle Matches is an opportunity for him to pay homage to Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veterans. In each of the last three years, Winters has taken part in a World War II re-enactment that is part of the first day festivities, kicking off the national championship of marksmanship. Guests are exposed to a few exciting moments of booms, smoke, fire and amazement on the ground and in the air. Winters portrayed a German soldier in a World War II battle where he and his fellow soldiers are seen by a TBM Avenger and a B-17 Bomber flying overhead, who then turned around and pretended to fire upon them. Cannons were fired to account for the shooting, helping to give the experience more of an authentic feel. Also taking part was Ron Dowling, the Oak Harbor High School German language teacher. While the Civilian Marksmanship Programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Matches are primarily about the competition that exists between some of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best shooters, every year the opening ceremonies are a chance for spectators to pay respect to those who are currently serving and or have served in the Armed Forces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how long these veterans will be around and you can honor them so they can appreciate (the experience),â&#x20AC;? said Winters, 32, a 2001 Oak Harbor High graduate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the little things that made them the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Greatest Generation.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that I can take part. (Organizers) Don Messersmith and Steve Cooper invited us out. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say no. They treat us so well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a special day.â&#x20AC;? Winters has taken his passion for veterans and their contributions to another level â&#x20AC;&#x201D; compiling a war history display that is currently available for viewing at the Ottawa County Museum in Port Clinton. In this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First Shot Ceremony,

A demonstration of Thunderbolt, a WWII M4 Sherman Tank, entertained the crowd during a World War II re-enactment that was held at Camp Perry. (Photo courtesy Christine Elder/Camp Perry) World War II re-enactors, ground vehicles, air support and exhilarating pyrotechnics took over Rodriguez Range for a time-honored opening ritual. Throughout the ceremony, scheduled flyovers by Yankee Lady, a fully-restored WWII B-17G bomber, and a visit from a WWII U.S. Navy TBM Avenger aircraft, paid tribute to the brave men and women who fought for our freedom during the second World War. A demonstration of Thunderbolt, a WWII M4 Sherman Tank, also entertained the crowd, along with a static display of eight WW II vehicles. In addition to the TBM aircraft, the Liberty Aviation Museum in Port Clinton, Ohio provided German re-enactors, vehicles and anti-aircraft guns. Kevin Winters, military historian, provided American G.I. re-enactors.

New this year, the ceremony gave special recognition to the hard working women of WW II with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rosie the Riveterâ&#x20AC;? re-enactor. It honored Minnie Bennett, a 91-year-old real-life counterpart of the reallife Rosie who worked in a steel factory in Ohio during the 1940s to help build weaponry and machinery that was used to help support the Allied Forces during WW II. The 555th Honors Detachment from Wooster, Ohio, served as color guard, while U.S. Navy (Ret.) Captain Pat Thompson brought in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wolverine Divisionâ&#x20AC;? of the US Naval Sea Cadets of Monroe, Mich., to serve as honor guards and re-enactors. To add the feel along with the look of WWII, Robert Gillmor from Gillmor Ordnance provided pyrotechnics both on the range leading up to the parade ground and detonated the ceremonial first shot target.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Like Yankee Stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cooper, the General Manager of CMP North and Marketing Manager for Camp Perry, says the war history side of the event has value to not just the participants, but also the National Matchesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like going to Yankee Stadium or Fenway Park,â&#x20AC;? said Cooper, who has been with the organization for eight years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Camp Perry) is the big arena for the shooters and marksmen. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much history here. I love coming here every day. People look at Camp Perry like a closed military site but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more like an open state park that has so much to offer.â&#x20AC;? The National Matches started taking place in 1903 and, after several years in New York and New Jersey, moved to Camp Perry for good in 1907. Save for some wars and tough economic times, the competition has endured for 108 years, attracting people from all across the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people from California, Texas and other places â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this is the place to go to compete with the best in the country. This little patch of ground has become â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Place,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Cooper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the sight of the national championships.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We gather here each year, not only to crown champions,â&#x20AC;? said Orest Michaels, the emcee for the opening day ceremonies, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but to renew friendships, make new ones, and enjoy this American cultural experience on the shore of Lake Erie with fellow thousands of sportsmen and women.â&#x20AC;? But the National Matches are only one part of what the CMP has to offer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is part of what we do at the CMP,â&#x20AC;? said Cooper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our National Matches are what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re most known for, but we have other CMP events that are going on during the year.â&#x20AC;?

Stritch alum on Jeopardy Erin Saelzler, an Oregon native and 2001 graduate of Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School, will be among the three contestants competing on Jeopardy! in a show set to air Thursday, July 23. She is the first CSCHS alum to hold such an honor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is pretty nerve-racking, but it is also pretty surreal,â&#x20AC;? said Saelzler about her appearance on the game show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is surprisingly fast paced. It is an amazing experience with the big (question) board and being up on stage.â&#x20AC;? Saelzler traveled to Los Angeles in April to be on the show. Due to a confidentiality agreement, she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say how she fared, but was able to share some tidbits about her trip. The process to become a Jeopardy! contestant took more than two years to complete. Saelzler began by taking an online test, followed by a written test and interview in Detroit. She then waited patiently for months to hear back from a show representative before finally finding out she was going to be a contestant. But Saelzlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wait was short compared to some other contestants who have appeared on the show. Some people audition as many as four or five times and have to wait almost a decade before making it to Los Angeles. Saelzler only had to take the

online test twice and go through the audition stage once before being selected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was surprised I made the show after only one time (of going through the entire process),â&#x20AC;? she said. Saelzler, an Oregon native who was the Salutatorian for her class and is now a pharmacist at Flower Hospital, has been an avid Jeopardy! fan since she was in elementary school. She watched the show regularly during her time as a student at CSCHS and continues to follow the show today, she said. To prepare for her appearance, she bought trivia books and watched several episodes of the show. In addition, each player has an opportunity to warm up with a practice round on stage before filming begins, she said. After some initial nervousness, Saelzler was able to quickly â&#x20AC;&#x153;get in the zoneâ&#x20AC;? once taping began and host Alex Trebek started giving the answers in classic game show where the answers are given first, and the contestants supply the questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the game began, I just started focusing on answering questions,â&#x20AC;? said Saelzler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the buildup to that moment, it is very overwhelming.â&#x20AC;? Locally, Jeopardy! airs at 7:30 p.m. on WTOL-TV.

Appeal coming in residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lawsuit Briefs will be filed in a couple of weeks to appeal a recent decision by Wood County Common Pleas Court Judge Alan Mayberry that dismissed a lawsuit seeking to block the Eastwood school board from constructing a new elementary school building. Andrew Mayle, attorney for three residents who contend the construction decision should be made by voters, called the court decision â&#x20AC;&#x153;truly, remarkably bad.â&#x20AC;? Judge Mayberry ruled the plaintiffs, Victor and Eileen Schuerman and Karl Offerman, all of Pemberville, lacked standing in the case. The three filed suit in April to challenge the school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to proceed with a construction agreement for a new elementary school building on the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main campus. The board has an agreement with the Ohio School Facilities Commission covering constructions costs that obligates Eastwood to provide about $12.5 million and the OSFC to pay about $7 million. The OSFC was also named in the lawsuit that seeks an injunction to stop the project, claiming the agreement circumvents state law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eastwood Local School District is pleased with Judge Mayberryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling, which vindicates the path taken by the district to improve our school facilities,â&#x20AC;? Brent Welker, school superintendent said in a prepared statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This represents a second legal victory, following the dismissal of an earlier lawsuit by the same plaintiffs. While it is it disappointing that additional district resources will have to be spent defending lawful actions, the district is very

comfortable with its legal position and looks forward to a review from the court of appeals.â&#x20AC;? The school board last June voted to place a bond issue on the ballot to fund its share of the project but later opted to remove the issue after deciding the district could afford to build without seeking additional tax revenues. Instead, the board agreed to use property tax revenues and payments from a tax abatement agreement that are expected to jointly generate about $1.275 million annually. To pay the balance, the board also intends to tap into a $1.5 million carry-over in the general fund and borrow the rest. The lawsuit argued the board didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t approve resolutions required by state law that stipulate it is unable to build adequate facilities without state assistance. Eastwood voters have rejected two ballot bond issues for constructing a new elementary school. But the district is prohibited from placing a referendum issue without a millage request on the ballot to have voters decide the matter, according to an opinion the administration received from the Wood County Board of Elections.

Calley Hovis Genoa "Freddie Mercury because he's a legend. He was a great live performer... a real showman!"

Jacki Buf¿ngton Genoa "Elvis. Just because he was The King and a part of history!"

Steven Lake Genoa "Elvis Presley because he sang a large variety of music... religious, rock 'n' roll, the blues, etc. and I loved it all. He was The King!"

Carlos Quiroga Elmore "Jim Morrison from The Doors. I grew up listening to his music with my dad. It's a different kind of music. Nobody really sounds like that now a days so I think they'd be really cool to see."

With time, the priorities in your life will change Letters Dare to Live by Bryan Golden

“

Unimportant issues have a tendency to drain your focus away from the important stuff.

“

Can you readily identify what is really important to you and why? This list is very personal as each individual has different priorities. No two people will have the same list. What you consider important changes with time. Older people typically have a much different perspective than younger people. The question you want to answer is what is important to you right now. You are a unique individual.What’s important to you is dependent on your aspirations, goals, desires, strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, values, experiences, and dreams. Important things can include who you are, what you do, your health and fitness, your happiness, family, friends, quality of life, spirituality, finances, possessions, time, security, emotional wellbeing, leisure, where you live, your impact on others, income, experience, and knowledge. This is certainly not an exhaustive list, but rather some ideas to get you thinking. Unfortunately, it’s easy to take some of the most important things for granted because of their ever present nature. You don’t really appreciate the value of something until it is either in short supply or vanishes. Conversely, it’s common to overvalue things which really don’t matter in the long or short run. This is a result of the many examples you observe growing up as to what people feel is important. Just because other people think something is important doesn’t obligate you to have the same outlook. Furthermore, comparing yourself to what others have achieved is not important. Working toward your own meaningful goals is important. For a goal to be important, it must be important and significant to

you. Striving to impress others is also unimportant. This pursuit subverts your life by continuously attempting to figure out what you think you can do that would be considered impressive. What then happens if people are not impressed? Are you a failure? Not being concerned about what other people say, think, or do frees you from this trap. One test for measuring importance is the severity of the impact on your life if something were taken away. Issues of little or no importance have don’t cause much, if any, upheaval. You shouldn’t devote much time to these low importance matters. Conversely, important things which are removed result in significantly negative

consequences. Another gauge of importance is how easily something can be replaced if lost. Important things are either irreplaceable or not easily replaced. Into this category falls anything you don’t fully appreciate, or miss, until it’s gone. These are often the same things taken for granted such as health, family, friends, and happiness. Unimportant issues have a tendency to drain your focus away from the important stuff. This syndrome skews your perspective so that unimportant things morph out of proportion. As a result, when you get hung up on things that don’t matter, you neglect what is really important. The outcome for you is a double dose of stress. Not only are you stressed about unimportant things, ignoring important issues leads to additional stress later on. Then, as your level of stress rises, your ability to keep situations in perspective further diminishes. This creates a downward spiral as you now become distracted with ever increasing amounts of trivia. Develop and maintain a clear picture of what is really important to you. Staying focused on it helps keep you from being sidetracked by insignificant issues. Be willing to make adjustments to incorporate new matters that become important as well as discarding anything that is no longer important. Always knowing what’s important to you will guide you through life. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www. BryanGolden.com or your bookstore.

Cloud computing comes with environmental price By Elizabeth O’Connell Maybe you’re not the type to take dirty pictures with your phone. But even if you only snap photos of your dogs and what’s for dinner, there’s a good chance your images could be up to some pretty dirty business. When you post a photo on Facebook or Instagram, that photo’s data is no longer just on your device. It’s now also stored in the cloud. Every time you watch a movie on Netflix, stream music on iTunes, or even read a website like The Wall Street Journal, you’re interacting with information stored in the cloud. Ditto if you’re reading this on a screen. Contrary to its name, “the cloud” isn’t an amorphous mist floating overhead. It’s a physical network of servers housed in massive buildings around the globe. These buildings store our files and much of the information you access on the Internet.

Correction A listing in the calendar of events in the July 6 issue of The Press, as well as in the Maumee Bay Visitors Guide published by The Press incorrectly included fireworks among the events planned at the Toledo Lighthouse Waterfront Festival set for July 11 and 12 at Maumee Bay State Park. The Press regrets the error.

Guest Editorial And they devour loads of energy. In 2013, U.S. data centers used an estimated 91 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity — roughly equal to the annual output of 34 large power stations. That’s how much power New York City’s households consume in two years. But not all data centers are created equal. While some run on power generated by burning fossil fuels like coal and natural gas, others use renewable energy like wind and solar. Apple is already going out of its way to run all its data centers on green energy. Facebook and Google are making strides too. Amazon’s hosting company, however, lags far behind. Greenpeace’s 2015 Clicking Clean report gave the company low marks for energy transparency and renewable energy commitments. This is bad news for all of us. Amazon is the world’s largest hosting company. It’s home to many of the Internet’s most popular sites, including Netflix, Pinterest, Vimeo, DropBox, The Huffington Post, and

more. The cloud offers opportunities to make life easier and more energy-efficient — think of the meetings you can now have by Skype instead of flying across the country, for example. But the efficiencies gained by cloud computing are quickly being washed out by the ever increasing amount of data we store and access. More and more of our devices are becoming “smart” — think TVs that connect to the Internet — and we’re streaming more video than ever before. The result is that the amount of data in the cloud is increasing at a rate of 20 percent per year. This means that the climate footprint of your digital life depends on which sites you use and where your files reside. Songs in Apple’s iCloud are stored with clean energy. Facebook is now using nearly 50 percent renewable energy, so maybe half of your photos are too. But anything pulled from Amazon’s corner of the Internet is probably powered by dirty, non-renewable energy that drives climate change. We shouldn’t have to choose between watching a movie online and protecting the climate, especially when a greener way is possible. And all pictures, dirty or otherwise, should have a clean carbon footprint. Elizabeth O’Connell is the campaigns director for Green America (greenamerica.org). Distributed by OtherWords.org.

Hoodwinked? To the editor: The carrot has been offered to Oregon School District voters – $500,000 to buy a 3.95 mill levy in the form of budget cuts in 2015-16. This levy, the first year, would generate $1.42 million. That’s subtracting the $500,000 carrot. The second and third years would earn $1.92 million. When I asked a broker-investor if I gave him $500,000, could he earn me $5.28 million, he held his head down and laughed and said, “I could tell you that, but forget it.” Where does that money go? Wages, wages, wages. I received a letter asking for a donation to support extra-curricular activities. What happened to the monies from basketball, football, volleyball and wrestling? I think there’s a problem here. A few of us think the general public is being hoodwinked. Operating levy? Boy, could I operate on money like that. The school board does what the superintendent wants. He suggests something; the board goes into executive session and comes out with an answer. If you want to speak at a meeting, you have to ask permission in writing and state the subject you wish to address. If the board OKs it, you’re on the agenda. If they feel it’s not in their interest, you are rejected. John J. Nyers, Sr. Curtice

Donations appreciated To the editor: Earlier this spring, the Oak Harbor Development Group sought donations for the downtown flower pots in the village. Over the course of the last two months, we have received private donations as well as a grant from the Ottawa County Community Foundation to pay for the flowers. We were also fortunate enough to have four volunteers – Joe Helle, Marilyn Sandwisch, Todd Hablitzel and David Salyers – offer their time for watering and pruning. We are very grateful and just wanted to say thank you for the support from the citizens, volunteers and the Ottawa County Community Foundation.

The American soldier comes home and is thanked for his service. This is how it should be. We honor the soldier because he risks his life to defend our freedom from those who would terrorize us and take from us the rights we hold dearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to petition our government, freedom to bear arms, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure and the guarantee of due process and a trial before a jury of our peers. These rights are among the 27 amendments to the U.S. Constitution. If this is what the soldier fought for and we thank him for his service, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we have a responsibility to make educated decisions about our government? To do any less is to demean his service. Unfortunately, about half of all Americans believe they have the right to be apathetic and uniformed. When I hear someone say they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read newspapers, I cringe. As Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure one of our founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, did. He famously said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic. Self-government is not possible unless the citizens are educated sufficiently to enable them to exercise oversightâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? The key words here are â&#x20AC;&#x153;self governmentâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;oversight.â&#x20AC;? You saw this in effect locally a few weeks ago when the Oregon Planning Commission, empathetic to protests from the Wynn Road neighborhood, voted 3-2 to deny a special use per-

The new president will more than likely appoint one or two Supreme Court Justices. He, or she, will have their own strategies to deal with terrorism, the economy and immigration. Will you let others decide the direction of our country? Statewide, in this Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election, we more than likely will vote on a proposal to legalize marijuana.

While Jefferson was talking about public education when he said the above words, those words also apply to being educated about current events. We chose, or allowed to be elected through our apathy, a president who sent us to war in Iraq and another who led the effort to pass the Affordable Care Act. If you followed the news, you knew both of these events were destined to happen if these two men were elected. Could you have made a difference in who was elected?

Counseling Corner Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let your kids push your button The American Counseling Association We all love our kids. And we all have moments when they drive us crazy. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly normal. What isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normal is to react to such incidents with out-of-control anger. Parents soon learn that their children, even when very young, will try their patience and get them upset at times. But being upset or frustrated isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the same as real anger, an emotional response that can only cause problems. Anger raises your blood pressure, supplants rational thought and has you acting in ways that accomplish no good and solve no problems, such as yelling, swearing, insulting, shaking and hitting. Anger can actually do real harm. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vital to realize that anger can be controlled. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an outside force, but rather something we manufacture on our own. It helps to understand why we get angry. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually connected to a loss of control. When a toddler isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listening or a teen comes home past curfew, we can feel that our authority and control over our children has been seriously undermined. While we certainly need to set limits and teach our children, we also have to acknowledge that they will often make mistakes. Accepting that, and using the mistake to teach a lesson, is a positive response. Becoming angry and violent is not. It also helps to look at your angry response from your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point of view. Experiencing an angry tantrum from a parent isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to fix the problem or change that past behavior. Instead, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more likely to truly threaten, scare and traumatize a young child, and bring about a negative, angry, rebellious response from an older child. Either response makes it harder to learn a lesson from the mistake that was made. One method for controlling an angry response is not to react immediately. Yes, counting to 10 and taking deep breaths does work. So does pausing to consider what your child will experience if you fly off the handle. Will your anger do any good, or just set a bad example for your child to model? If controlling your anger is difficult for you, talk to a professional counselor. A counselor specializing in anger management can offer a variety of ways for getting anger under control. Counseling Cornerâ&#x20AC;? is provided by the American Counseling Association.

Helping heart patients get back to work, life By Tammy Walro Press Features Editor twalro@presspublications.com Mark Henninger made some significant lifestyle changes in advance of his 50th birthday, which he celebrated on June 1. Henninger, of Walbridge, dropped more than 20 pounds. And recently, he has been exercising twice a week and has eliminated the HoHos and other unhealthy foods from his lunchbox. For Henninger, adopting a healthier lifestyle wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a matter of vanity or even a choice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was a life-or-death necessity after suffering heart attack April 21. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had arrhythmia for a few years, but never any chest pains or other warning signs.â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I developed a weird burning pain in my chest and then broke out in a sweat, I knew something was wrong.â&#x20AC;? He called his wife Tanya, who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t home, and then 911. He ended up in the hospital where he underwent cardiac catheterization and received a stent. After about five days in the hospital he returned home to recover and shortly after, began cardiac rehabilitation at a new program offered at ProMedica Bay Park in Oregon. The program, which has been offered at other ProMedica hospitals and began at Bay Park May 19, specializes in providing therapy, education and support to help patients with cardiovascular conditions improve health and well being. Those who may benefit include patients with angina or heart failure and those who have had heart attacks, coronary bypass or heart valve surgery, angioplasty, stent replacement and heart transplants. A patient must receive a physician referral before starting the program. Cardiac rehab is covered by Medicare and most health insurance providers, however patients are encouraged to speak with their insurance providers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the initial visit, the first thing we do is complete a physical evaluation, get a medical history and look at everything the patient has had done,â&#x20AC;? said coordinator Valerie Lloyd, RN. The visit also includes an evaluation during heart-monitored exercise to ensure patient safety. Then an exercise regimen is developed, tailored to the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goals are set based on the baseline that the nurse or exercise therapist determines, in conjunction with the patient and the physician, who oversees the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rehab,â&#x20AC;? said Karen Martin, director of rehab for ProMedica Heart and Vascular Services. Exercise is only one of the benefits of cardiac rehab, according to cardiologist Dr. Nagi Bishara. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the patients we see here have had heart attacks, received a stent or bypass surgery and want to go back to work or to get active again, but many of them are scared of resuming their normal activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The monitoring and support during exercise, especially in the beginning, helps

patients feel safe,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Bishara said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And if the staff finds a patient is having difficulties or complications, they contact the physician and we can intervene or change medications â&#x20AC;&#x201C; being able to discover any problems early in a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rehab is very useful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The staff also has the ability to work with patients on an ongoing basis, to educate and help identify and manage or modify behaviors that may have led to heart problems in the first place,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In many cases, patients are approved by insurance for 36 sessions,â&#x20AC;? Lloyd said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We typically see patients twice a week, starting with about a half hour of exercises and gradually increase time and intensity based on the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition and progress.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the 40 minutes to an hour that I spend with a patient during sessions, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m able to build a relationship, to ask the questions that maybe loved ones or family members are afraid to or their doctor may not have time to ask during a visit,â&#x20AC;? Lloyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m definitely improving and have a lot more stamina than when I started four weeks ago,â&#x20AC;? said Henninger, who was able to return to work at his job doing sewer construction repair work for the City of Toledo on July 6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was nervous when I started,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But during exercise, Valerie is con-

stantly checking the computer to make sure the heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beating OK, and afterward, she checks my blood pressure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it provides a level of comfort that puts you at ease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She also monitors to see what you can do; if she sees somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little too easy, believe me, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll speed the machine up,â&#x20AC;? Henninger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also motivation to see people older than I am doing better,â&#x20AC;? Henninger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oh no, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to happen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really got to get to work.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for cardiac rehab, who knows how long it would have taken me to go back to work,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wish this on anybody and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever want to go through this again. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to take good care of myself. And I have a young grandson I have to keep up with,â&#x20AC;? Henninger says he hopes when he completes the program to be able to continue his sessions. For patients like him, ProMedica is looking at instituting a â&#x20AC;&#x153;third phaseâ&#x20AC;? or maintenance phase of the rehab program (to follow acute hospital care and the initial cardiac rehab) where patients can self-pay to continue workouts to stay with the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any equipment at home, and with the arrhythmia, I would feel safer working out under a controlled and monitored environment,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Look Good… Feel Better

Digital boards improving safety As of the last week of June, Ohio has recorded 496 traffic deaths, 77 more deaths in 2015 than at the same time a year ago. This increase of over 18 percent has inspired the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to join forces with a new initiative utilizing ODOT digital message boards to spread traffic safety messages. The messages were displayed for the first time during the Fourth of July weekend and continue for a trial period. Traffic deaths were significantly higher during January, February, and May of this year compared to 2014. In fact, May 2015 was the worst May for traffic deaths in a decade. The largest increase was among drivers under the age of 25. Fatal crashes involving alcohol tripled, and the number of deadly crashes involving peo-

Wood Co. Health report Members of the Wood County Health Partners have completed the draft of the 2015 Wood County Community Health Status Assessment. Throughout the process, community leaders were actively engaged in the planning process and helped define the content, scope and sequence of the study. Data was collected through health surveys mailed to a random sample of adult Wood County residents. A random sample of students were selected and surveyed in Wood County schools. The goal was to identify key strengths, weaknesses, and health concerns for residents of Wood County. The draft report has been posted for re-

ple not wearing a seat belt doubled during the month of May. “This increase in fatalities is unsettling,” said Colonel Paul A. Pride, Patrol superintendent. “We hope that by coupling the Patrol’s enforcement with the highly visible ODOT signs, we can impact driver behavior and save some lives.” “Our top priority is always safety,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. “Like the Highway Patrol, we are concerned about the increased number of deaths on our roads and highways. These aren’t just statistics, but someone’s father or mother, daughter or son.” Digital message boards will display these messages 24 hours per day on weekends and from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on weekdays, unless there is a higher priority message. Every Thursday the boards will update the new year-to-date deaths. “This assessment gives us an excellent opportunity to partner with Wood County government leaders, agencies, organiza-

Study:

Girls at higher risk for injuries

“

During this point of their lives, this is when girls are developing bones at the greatest rate

“

A new study conducted by researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center shows that when it comes to overuse injuries in high school sports, girls are at a much higher risk than boys. Overuse injuries include stress fractures, tendonitis and joint pain, and occur when athletes are required to perform the same motion repeatedly. The study was published in April in the Journal of Pediatrics. Dr. Thomas Best analyzed 3,000 male and female injury cases over a seven-year period across 20 high school sports such as soccer, volleyball, gymnastics and lacrosse. Best and his team found the highest rate of overuse injuries occurred in girls track (3.82), followed by girls field hockey (2.93) and girls lacrosse (2.73). Overuse injuries in boys were most found in swimming and diving (1.3). “These young people spend more time playing sports both in competition and in practice. So, there’s a correlation there between the amount of time that they’re playing and the increased incidence of injuries,” said Best, who is also a professor and Pomerene Chair in Ohio State’s department of family medicine. The participation and intensity of high school athletics has increased over the past decade. According to Best, some high school athletes spend more than 18 hours a week participating in athletics and many participate in multiple sports concurrently.

According to best, the lower leg is the most common site of overuse injuries, followed by the knee and then the shoulder. He recommends teen athletes vary their movement and play more than one sport. He also tells his patients to make rest and nutrition a priority. “During this point of their lives, this is when girls are developing bones at the greatest rate,” Best said. “It’s incredibly important that they’re getting the proper amounts of calcium and vitamin D.” Among athletes, overuse injuries account for half of all athletic injuries and twice as many visits to sports medicine physicians than acute trauma. These injuries are known to be more prevalent in children ages 13-17.

Bassitt takes overnight leap to Big Leagues By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Chris Bassitt’s career took a sizeable turn in late June. The former Genoa High School pitcher was playing with the Nashville Sounds of the Pacific Coast League when he got a phone call at 1 a.m. on June 30. It was an Oakland Athletics official informing the 6-foot-5, 210-pound right-hander that he was being called up to the major leagues for the second time this season. Bassitt, 26, boarded a flight to California at 7:30 a.m. and pitched for Oakland that night, against Colorado. This all happened in a matter of 14 hours. “My nerves were fine,” Bassitt said. “I feel a lot more comfortable. Last year with Chicago kind of settled the nerves. You want to put your best foot forward. I’m past the nerves part now. It’s pretty much excitement more than anything.” Bassitt, who went 1-1 with a 3.94 ERA in six appearances (five starts) last season with the White Sox, pitched for the A’s earlier this season and then got sent back to Triple-A Nashville. He was 2-6 with a 3.71 ERA in 12 games (nine as a starter) with the Sounds. He had 64 strikeouts and 18 walks in 63 innings. On June 30 against the Rockies, Bassitt lasted five strong innings but got no run support and took the loss. He allowed five hits and one earned run, with three strikeouts and no walks in Oakland’s 2-1 loss. He was pitching on three days’ rest — and very little sleep - in place of A’s ace Sonny Gray (9-3, 2.09 ERA), who was hospitalized for two days with gastritis caused by salmonella. Bassitt and three other players, including catcher Josh Phegley, were traded to Oakland from Chicago in January. “It’s not that big of a difference,” Bassitt said of playing in Chicago and Oakland. “They both play in kind of similar, pretty big parks. There’s not a lot of humidity here, so there are lots of pluses and minuses.” Bassitt took the mound in place of Gray again last Sunday in Oakland, on a partly cloudy 73-degree day. He squared off against Seattle Mariners left-hander Mike Montgomery, who entered the game with a 3-2 record and a 1.62 ERA. Oakland was in last place in the American League West, with a 38-46 record and trailing division-leading Houston by 10½ games. The A’s staff, however, has been rolling. Oakland entered the Seattle game having won three of its last four, four of its last six and 13 of its last 20. The A’s had the best record in the American League dating back to May 23. Oakland tossed its second shutout in the last three games on July 3, and its starters had allowed one run or fewer in five of

Chris Bassitt (Genoa) during one of two starts with the Oakland A’s, where he was filling in for then-injured Sonny Gray. (Photo by Michael Zagaris, Oakland Athletics) the last six games entering Bassitt’s start. He said he didn’t feel any pressure to keep the staff’s recent streak going. “You don’t think about that,” Bassitt said. “Every pitcher goes out there trying to give the team a chance to win. Our pitching staff has been ridiculously hot lately. We have six really good starters. Sadly, there is going to have to be a move because Gray is coming back. You tend to feed off each other. It’s a lot of fun when everyone is pitching well.” In Sonny Gray’s footsteps Bassitt kept Seattle off the board for five innings on Sunday, but he consistently got behind in the count and his pitch count was high going into the sixth. He ended up throwing 98 pitches, 62 for strikes, before being relieved with two outs in the sixth inning. “We’re so conditioned — I was throwing well over 100 pitches in Triple-A,” Bassitt said. “There’s no fatigue there. I didn’t really feel that bad.” Bassitt got the first two outs in the sixth before hitting Robinson Cano in the ankle with a pitch and giving up a double to deep left to Nelson Cruz. Former A’s outfielder Seth Smith delivered a two-run single, ending Bassitt’s afternoon, in Oakland’s 2-1 loss to the Mariners. “It could have been a lot better,” Bassitt

said. “I’m upset with the two runs, which were kind of stupid. How it all went down was stupid. You hang a slider to a guy (Smith), and if I’m going to get beat, I’d rather get beat with my fastball. I’m frustrated. I would rather lose with my best pitch. It would be easier sleeping at night knowing (Smith) had beaten me with my best pitch. It will be something I’ll be thinking about.” Bassitt allowed five hits and one walk with three strikeouts in 5.2 innings. In two starts covering 10.2 innings, Bassitt went 0-2 with a 2.53 ERA, and Oakland had scored a total of two runs in those starts. “If my team is giving me one run, I can’t give up any,” he said. “That’s my mindset. I don’t care how many runs I’m getting.” On Tuesday, the A’s optioned Bassitt back to Triple-A Nashville and recalled outfielder Jake Smolinski. Bassitt’s threw 4.1 innings in relief in his first appearance with the A’s, on April 25 against Houston. It is the longest outing by an A’s reliever this season. Bassitt, who appeared in seven games through July 7 and gave up 15 hits and 10 walks, with 14 strikeouts, said he was getting used to the California lifestyle. “The weather is pretty good,” he said. “I like the whole Bay area. There are good parts and bad parts, like any big city. With San Francisco next door, there is plenty to do and it’s a lot of fun going to different spots.”

Usually it’s 2015 Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Track Athlete of the Year Grace Winckowski making the news, but this time it is her father, Scott. Scott, an Oregon attorney, earned his trophy twice at the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce Golf Outing, scoring a hole-in-one at Chippewa Golf Course’s 137 yard, No. 9, which helped his First Federal Bank team win the outing with a score of 57, 14 strokes under par. GenoaBank finished a close second, scoring a 13-under-par 58, which means it was Scott Winckowski’s ace that ultimately sent his team over the top. In addition, No. 9 was a betting hole and the ace earned Winckowski’s team a skin, putting even more money into their pocket from the chamber fundraiser. Plus, Winckowski aced the hole in a driving rain that sent half of the teams into the clubhouse, eliminating some of the competition. Those who kept golfing had trouble keeping a grip on their clubs, but Winckowski said he was able to maintain enough control on his 8-iron to get his ace. “It landed about ten feet short of the hole, and it released, and it rolled right in,” Winckowski said. “I actually hit all my good shots during the rain.” Winckowski’s teammates were Robert Truckor, executive agent at First Insurance Group, and Donald E. Flick, vice president of commercial lending for First Federal Bank. “All of us saw it go in,” Winckowski said. “There was a little bit of cheering here and there, but it was raining so hard, we were all trying to stay dry.” Just one month earlier, daughter Grace became Clay’s first-ever state track and field champion, winning the Division I 300 meter hurdles title at Ohio State Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. She won with a time of 43.5 seconds, less than one-fifth of a second ahead of Sydney Stokes, a senior from Gahanna Lincoln, who was runner-up in 43.67. Winckowski also placed eighth in the 100 hurdles, in 14.85. Winckowski broke her own school record in the 300s the previous week at the

Strike Zone brings high tech to Northwood facility By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Digital technology has arrived at Strike Zone Sports Training, located in the Great Eastern Shopping Center in Northwood. Rawlings Smart Kage — an invisible technology that defines athletic performance by capturing up to 75 metrics for baseball and softball players — has been installed. What does it get a high school or college baseball or softball player? It instantly sends a digital read-out over the Internet of your strengths and weaknesses to college programs and Major League scouts. “It’s used for two things — No. 1, for player development plans because it gives you a printout of all your strengths and weaknesses. Also, it’s used as a recruiting tool,” said Strike Zone co-owner Garry Isbell. “So, I have a 14U (travel baseball) team, and as silly as it sounds, if the 14U kids are playing at a high level, they are recruitable right now and people have their eyes on them. So, the high school kids are using it for recruiting opportunities to get looks at colleges, because when their numbers come back as collegiate numbers, and it’s validated, all I have to do is send it on to colleges or they (Rawlings) send it on to colleges of their choice, and their numbers are there.” The system sends the information to over 3,600 universities and professional teams that are part of the Smart Kage program. It looks like a normal batting cage, but has cameras, sensors and a computer. There are three tests — for pitchers, position players and catchers. The position players and catchers’ tests include hitting and fielding. “We have a camera here behind home plate, we have a camera over there in left field, and a camera in right field and it all zooms in on them,” said Isbell, standing next to the cage. “It’s all tied digitally.” “You start out on the red line, and there are sensors, and it gives 5- and 10yard splits, just like 40-yard dashes in the combines, and it measures all of that digitally. You can do all the sprinting stuff first,

Clay Denstorff is put to the test in Strike Zone Sports Center’s Smart Cage. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) there is a break pad down there that gets the ‘stop’ into it, and then you do some speed and agility stuff — they jump off the square straight up and do plow-push-ups on those red dots, and then they stand in this red square and they work on getting

the ball shot out of a machine and they work on their transfer times. “This whole pad has sensors underneath it for weight distribution, so it calculates everything. The pitchers’ mound has sensors underneath it, too. It can relay

where your balance is at and where it isn’t at. It does everything.” What’s even better, the $75,000 system did not cost Strike Zone one cent — they are partnering with the manufacturers. Isbell, a former Clay baseball coach, says every Major League team has a Smart Kage installed, but only a handful exists outside of that. Having a test done by the cage costs $150, with proceeds split between Strike Zone and Rawlings. It wasn’t easy for Isbell and his partners, Karl Knierim and Rod Achter, to bring the Smart Kage to Strike Zone, which is midway through its second year in business. “Ultimately, when Karl, Rod and I opened this up, this is what we wanted to do,” Isbell said. “We wanted to make this become a huge recruiting tool in the area for everybody. We wanted kids to come in — we work with them and promote them.” Isbell was attending United States Baseball Network meetings in Pittsburgh, and he saw an opportunity to talk to Larry Scannell, who was there promoting Smart Kage. “In order for it to be part of the United States Baseball Network, you had to have so many memberships involved in your district — so we had to have 140 members here,” Isbell said. “I knew that wasn’t realistic right away, so I thought, ‘There’s got to be a way around that to get this Smart Kage in here.’ “I met him for lunch while I was in Pittsburgh, so I kind of missed some of the seminars I was supposed to be at. I told him about (Minnesota Twins pitcher) A.J. Achter, who trained here, (New York Mets starting pitcher) Jon Niese trains here, and (Oakland Athletics pitcher) Chris Bassitt comes here, so the Major League connections were there. And, obviously, all the connections with kids we have as coaches — Karl and I, putting players into D-I college baseball and obviously our background and connections,” Isbell continued. “He bought it. He said, ‘Well, I’m going to bump you up.’ He goes ‘I’m putting them in all Major League baseball facilities but only 10 public facilities in the country are getting one, and you guys are going to be one of them. You are actually the second one in the country to have it in.’”

Lake graduate gets call to play college hockey in Illinois By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Former Lake High School and Eastwood Eagle club hockey player R.J. Schultz will be a 22-year-old college freshman this fall, and he couldn’t be happier. Schultz, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound defenseman/forward and a 2011 Lake grad, will play hockey this season at Lindenwood University-Belleville. The private school, located in Belleville, Ill., is about an eighthour drive from Walbridge, where R.J. lives with his parents, Bob and Brandy. “I signed my letter of intent about a month and a half ago,” Schultz said. “It was a pretty cool thing. I’ve had a plan of going to college and afterward getting my skill set ready for pro hockey. This is another step in the plan for what I’ve planned for myself. It (signing) definitely was a relief. I had been talking to some teams that (ultimately) weren’t interested, and now I don’t have to worry about finding a place to go. I just have to get prepared to go there.” Schultz played for Lake’s club team for three years and then played for the Eastwood Eagle club team (now Eagle Hockey Club) as a prep senior.

“Next year they will have two teams one in D-I and one in D-II,” Schultz said. “They practice 15 minutes from St. Louis, and their home rink is the St. Louis Blues’ practice rink.” Schultz described his style of play as a “defensive, grind-it-out player,” which Middlebrooks was looking for. “I like to get in the corners and get my nose dirty,” Schultz said. “Every coach looks for a player who isn’t afraid to get in there and get gritty and get into the corners. I had been recommended (to LU-Belleville) by a coach who I played against and I’ve known for a while. I asked him for advice on a good team I should head to. He told me about this team and gave me a good recommendation and told them about my style of play, both offense and defense.” Schultz plans to study pre-nursing or sports management. His first day of hockey practice is Aug. 25. “Eventually, if hockey doesn’t pan out, I want to be a firefighter or an EMT,” he said. “Going back to school is nerve wracking, but I’m capable of doing the work. I’ve done it before. Since I’ve been out of high school I’ve had a day job and been working. It’s not like I haven’t been doing anything, so I don’t think I’ll have a problem with school.”

He played for two teams in Canada last year, with the Meaford Knights and the Sturgeon Falls Lumberjacks, both Junior A hockey programs. Schulz was a co-captain on both squads. He has also played in the Midwest Hockey League, a Tier 3 Junior A league, with the Michigan Ice Dogs in Farmington Hills, Mich., and with the Toledo Grrrowl. “It’s definitely a higher level than high school, but it was a stepping stone to college,” Schultz said of playing in Canada. “I didn’t have as many points as I should have, but I was out there in more of a leadership role and set up as the defensive player of the game. They (Meaford and Sturgeon Falls) are both extremely small towns in Ontario. I had been up there a couple times for camp and for a pro camp. It was tough hockey. Fast people; good scorers. Those are kids who can play at a very competitive level, which was good for me.” Last year was the first season of hockey for LU-Belleville, which competes in the Division II American Collegiate Hockey Association. The Lynx went 29-2-1 in the Central Region last season under coach Lindsay Middlebrook, a former goaltender for the New York Rangers, Winnipeg Jets, Minnesota North Stars, New Jersey Devils and Edmonton Oilers.

Gibsonburg’s Brubaker dedicates win to Burmeister By Brian Liskai Special to The Press liskai2x@roadrunner.com Gibsonburg’s Stuart Brubaker held off a charging Byron Reed to score his first ever 410 sprint win at Attica Raceway Park Friday on Baumann Auto Group/Burns Electric Night. It was an emotional win in the O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprints for Brubaker as the man who gave him the ride – Sonny Burmeister – passed away this past winter. “This is amazing. I have the best bunch of guys to work with. This one here is for Sonny. We lost Sonny this past winter. When he hired me he was in the nursing home…he built a hell of a race team. Sharon (Burmeister) is awesome. She keeps me positive and keeps me going. And Mikey, Tyler and all the kids here that help…just unbelievable,” said Brubaker beside his Dave Story Equipment; Stephen P. Mapus Productive Tools, Randy Beeker Excavating, Adkins Fence and Sanitation, Huffman Tools, Kistler Racing Products backed machine. Though he charged from his fourth starting spot to lead all 30 laps, it wasn’t easy for Brubaker as six time Attica champion Byron Reed would storm from his 16th starting spot to challenge the final two laps. “I started slowing down there…I didn’t hear anyone coming and I was trying to save tires. I saw a black wing down there and I hauled it into three and I said I hope this things sticks,” said Brubaker of his Meggit Sandblasting, Advantage Ford, Schiets Motorsports, Burmeister Plowing backed No. 16. McClure’s Rusty Schlenk had a rough weekend last week, crashing while leading and then finding out he blew the motor. He was in danger of giving up his national UMP late model point lead. But, a former car turned into a savior as he led all 25 laps to score the win in the Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Models. It was the 20th career win at Attica for Schlenk. “Derek, a customer of ours, actually bought this car from me last year. This is the Pierce car I drove last year so I’m pretty familiar with it. He took the weekend off. He was actually second in points up to Cherry and he was generous enough to loan us the car for the weekend so we can keep our national points lead up,” said Schlenk. “We’ve had a rash of bad luck…it’s been horrible. We almost won two in a row last weekend. Two laps to go I got stuffed into the wall at LaSalle and destroyed the front end of the car. Then we get home and got it back together and started doing maintenance on the car and found we had a blown motor. I had to scramble to find a ride,” added Schlenk. There’s just something about the high side at Attica that suits Jamie Miller’s driving style. The Fremont driver blasted into the lead from his fourth starting spot at the drop of the green, had a scary moment when he drove off the track, but ended up with his second win of the season in the Foster’s Auto Body 305 Sprints. It is Miller’s 11th career win at Attica in the 305 division. “I don’t know if someone lost some water or something…I hit something. I went into one and two the lap before and it was good and then I went in there the

Gibsonburg racer Stuart Brubaker (16) takes the checkered while nearly lapping another car. (Photo by Action Photos) next lap and I was chasing it and off the top I went. Must have had a pretty good lead because when I came back on the track Seth (Schneider) was just passing me,” said Miller beside his Advanced Industrial Services, Fostoria Mod Shop, Quarterback Transportation, Western Lake Erie Insulation Industry, Pioneer Quick Lube, Scott’s Lawn Care and Snow Removal backed No. 39. “I’ve always been good around the top here. I’d rather be up there…more comfortable for me. It took me years and a lot of torn up equipment to figure out how to run it and be that fast. We’ve been on a real strong roll,” added Miller. Fremont’s Matt Foos battled first with Kyle Cline and then held off a late race charge from Kent Brewer to score his second win of the season in the Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks. It was his fourth career Attica victory. “Right before we pulled out for the feature they told me the torque convertor was broke. We got lucky. I have to thank Fremont Fence, M and L Excavating, Automatic Fire Protection, Level Performance, Pit Stop and Brian and Sherry (Sorg, truck owners) and all my guys,” said Foos. Brubaker's ride to victory Mitch Harble and Nate Reeser brought the field to green for the 30-lap 410 sprint feature in front of packed grandstands. But, it was Brubaker who used the extreme high line to blast to the lead. Harble, Reeser, Nate Dussel, Caleb Armstrong, Jody Keegan, Todd Kane and Chris Andrews gave chase. Dussel would take third on lap three just before Reeser would spin. On the restart Brubaker pulled away as Harble and Dussel battled for second with Keegan, Armstrong, Kane and Andrews staying close. The second and final caution would

With nine laps in all eyes were on 16th place starter Byron Reed as he had moved up to eighth. Brubaker continued to hold a two car length lead over Dussel with Armstrong taking third on lap 12. At the half way point the running order was Brubaker, Dussel, Armstrong, Keegan, Harble, Reed and Andrews. Reed would crack the top five on lap 116 and took fourth with 10 laps to go and moved into third by lap 22. Brubaker caught the back of the pack

with seven circuits remaining and Dussel and Reed closed. Reed would drive around Dussel on lap 24 and quickly closed the distance on Brubaker. As they took the white flag Reed dove to Brubaker’s inside in turns one and two but Brubaker’s momentum kept him out front and he picked up the pace in the final set of turns to take the win. Reed, Dussel, Andrews and Keegan would round out the top five. In the 25-lap late model feature, Schlenk and Mike Bores brought the field to green. Schlenk would gain the advantage as third starter Chris Keller drove into second followed by Bores, Ken Hahn, Ryan Markham, Rick Bond, Larry Kingseed, Dave Hornikel and Doug Drown. Schlenk would begin to pull away as Keller and Bores battled for second and behind them a tremendous race for fourth involving Hahn, Markham, Hornikel, Bond and Drown. The caution would fly for Josh Haynes on lap five and when the green returned Schlenk again pulled away from Keller, Bores, Hahn, Markham and Hornikel. Markham would drive into fourth on lap seven, bringing Hornikel to fifth. The second and final caution would fly on lap 11 as Hornikel spun. The restart order was Schlenk, Keller, Bores, Markham, Drown, Bond, Matt Irey and Ryan Missler. With 10 laps to go Markham and Drown were locked into a tremendous battle for fourth. That duo would reel in Bores and it became a three car race for third. Schlenk rocketed away on the high side by Keller started to close using the bottom groove. Drown would take third on lap 19. The leaders would not find lapped traffic until there were just two laps to go. Drown would use the lapped cars to take second from Keller as the white flag flew. Schlenk would drive to the win over Drown, Keller, Markham and Bores.

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