District 3 Councilman Mike Craig joined 10 colleagues Tuesday in overriding Mayor Michael Bell’s veto, effectively stopping a $700,000 appropriation to purchase and then destroy homes for the expansion of Toledo’s Collins Park Water Treatment Plant. The $314 million expansion was mandated by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and has to be completed within five years. The city contacted 28 Birmingham neighborhood homeowners in East Toledo to see if they would be willing to sell their property. The city was looking for two separate groups of four contingent properties to make room for two new substations and construction staging areas. Council had originally authorized the money, but at-large Councilman Shaun Enright, an East Toledo resident, led legislation to rescind the authorization, which was approved by an 8-4 vote. After Bell’s veto, council voted 11-1 to override. Craig, representing East Toledo, was originally one of the four voting against rescinding. By voting to override, he effectively voted to rescind. His original intentions when voting to support the authorization — he would rather see property owners willingly sell than see the city take properties by eminent domain. Now, he’s worried that will happen. “I didn’t change my mind on the situation,” Craig said. “You know what — I don’t think anything good is going to come of this. They need more of the property over there and they are going to have to get it, and this council is going to have to vote for it. All they are doing is putting off the inevitable. “Look, (East Toledo Family Center community builder) Jodi Gross wrote me an email trying to remind me who I represent. There are 40 people over there who are upset. I’ve got 47,996 people and every one of those will be mad if something goes wrong with that water plant.”

New law takes effect
Animal refuge may close, owner says By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The future of a wild animal refuge in Stony Ridge is in question as a new state law that enacts a wide-ranging permit and regulation program for such animals takes effect. Ken Hetrick, owner of Tiger Ridge Exotics, said the cost of permits and other related expenses in the law may force him to close the refuge he’s operated for more than 30 years as a non-commercial venture that relies on donations to help meet costs. The Ohio Dangerous Wild Animal Act bans unpermitted ownership of certain animals and reptiles by Jan. 1, 2014. The restricted list covers lions, tigers and other “large cats”, bears, elephants, certain monkeys, rhinos, alligators, crocodiles, anacon-

das and pythons longer than 12 feet, certain vipers and venomous snakes. Affected owners were required to register their animals with the Ohio Department of Agriculture by Nov. 2, 2012 and they must obtain permits between Oct. 1 of this year and Jan. 1. “Wildlife shelter” permits cost $250 for one to three animals and up to $1,000 for 11 to 15 animals. There is a $125 fee for each animal over the 15 limit. In addition, owners must obtain liability insurance or a surety bond of $200,000 to $1 million depending on the number of animals. The law also mandates separate permits for owners intending to breed wild animals solely for species survival programs and not planning to acquire new animals and rescue facilities as well as restricted snakes. Those costs and other expenses stemming from the new regulations have Het-
rick wondering if his refuge can remain open. Currently, it is home to seven tigers, three lions, a black leopard, a grizzly bear, timber wolves, and a liger. He’s received a quote of $84,000 from one contractor for changing the chain-link fencing to the fence gauge stipulated in the new law. And he’s leery of having his animals micro-chipped – another requirement in the law unless exempted. “I have all of my animals registered and started with my grizzly bear for the microchip,” he said. “Two days later she’s laying out there dead. Some are so old they can’t take the tranquilizing drug to put the chip in. One lion is 25 years old, another is 24 years old, and the liger has cancer. Every animal I have here has been rescued from someone who didn’t want them.”

County forms wild animal response team By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press A wild animal outbreak a year ago in southern Ohio is the driving force behind a new law that requires jurisdictions to establish special response teams. Sheriff’s deputies and others shot 46 of the 56 animals that escaped or were set loose at Muskingum County Animal Farm in March 2012. The dead animals included a wolf, six black bears, two grizzly bears, nine male lions, eight lionesses, a baboon, three mountain lions and 18 tigers. They were buried at the site where they were killed. Authorities later revealed the owner of the wild animal preserve, Terry Thompson, threw open the cages of most of the animals and then committed suicide. In the months afterward, Ohio set about trying to tighten the reins on exotic animal ownership across the Buckeye State. Authorities have also built a wild animal containment facility near Reynoldsburg for confiscated animals. The Ottawa County commissioners recently approved the county’s response team roster. It includes Fred Petersen, director of the county’s Emergency Management Agency, Port Clinton Fire Chief Kent Johnson, county health commissioner Nancy Osborn, commissioner Jim Sass, sheriff’s department chief deputy Jeff Hickman, Red Cross Director Beth Leggett and News Herald reporter Catherine Hadley. “Realistically this is a planning team,” Petersen said, noting the state required the team to have a plan in place by February of 2014. The group is required to have a dangerous wild animal owner representative as part of the team. Since there are none registered in Ottawa County, Andy Birr of the Toledo Zoo has agreed to serve on the team, Petersen said. “They have a pretty rigorous program there we can learn from,” Petersen said of precautions put in place at the zoo to ensure public safety. The new team will get together over the next few months and look at the state guidelines they’re developing ….” Petersen said. “I don’t see it being a big deal. We already have a pretty good emergency response program in place.” Ottawa County is far from the southeastern Ohio roads where the wild animals were released near Zanesville, causing home lockdown and school closings. But it has had a few cases over the years involving wild animals. An animal said to be a bobcat or cougar reportedly crept along farm fields and tree lines from Elmore to Oak Harbor two years ago, according to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office Chief of Operations Brad York. An elementary school in Oak Harbor was put on lockdown and Ohio Department of Natural Resources officials aided Oak Harbor police in the search. Officials said they only found deer tracks in the area. And in the early 1980s, there had been a couple of animal breakouts at a wildlife park in Danbury Township. “One of them was a cat, a panther, I believe. But I can’t remember what the other was,” said York, who served on the Danbury Township Police Department at the time. He could not recall details about the incidents but said that no one was injured before the animals were recaptured.

Animal refuge may close, owner says Continued from front page In all the years he’s housed animals at the refuge on Fremont Pike, no animal has escaped and no visitor has been hurt, Hetrick says with pride. The facility has permits from and is inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, he said. Legislators began work on the law after an owner near Zanesville, O. released his collection of wild animals shortly before committing suicide in October 2011. Authorities killed nearly 50 of the animals, including bears, tiger, and lions, to protect area residents. The law is being challenged by some owners as well as the Ohio Association of Animal Owners. Late last year the U.S. District Court ruled in favor of the state and the OAAO filed an appeal in May in the Sixth District Court of Appeals in Cincinnati.
“
When they start collecting animals from people like me and others they’re going to fill that place up quick.

The state spent about $3 million to construct a wild animal holding facility in Reynoldsburg, O. “When they start collecting animals from people like me and others they’re going to fill that place up quick,” Hetrick said.
“They have no idea how expensive it will be to run that facility.” However, others say the law has been needed. “There should never again be a crisis like the one in Zanesville, and powerful wild animals should never be kept in someone’s backyard or basement as pets,” said Karen Minton, Ohio director of the Humane Society of the U.S. after the court decision. One irony isn’t lost on Hetrick. A provision of the law requires each county to form a Dangerous Wild Animal Response Team that includes representatives from law enforcement, emergency management agencies, public health care, news media, elected office holders, veterinarians, and a wild animal owner or zoo official. He’s been asked to be a member of the Wood County response team.

Lady Luck smiles big on Oregon man…again With the forecast calling for steamy, stormy weather on July 9, Martin “Mike” Halka decided to head to Hollywood Casino with his friend, David Kolodziejski to blow off a little steam and have a little fun. Halka, 42, of Oregon, isn’t what he’d call a frequent gambler, visiting the casino once, sometimes twice a month. Sometimes he wins, sometimes he loses. But when he wins…he wins big. Until recently, he held the record for winning the largest jackpot in the history of Hollywood Casino Toledo – $100,000, which he won June 6, 2012. On his recent Tuesday-afternoon trip, Halka started out with $1,000 in his pocket, hopeful he’d parlay it into more, or at least having broken even for the day. “I started with the $5 slot machines and within minutes of being there, I won a $10,000 jackpot,” he said. “I kind of couldn’t believe it,” he said. Hopeful Lady Luck would continue to smile on him, he decided to move to a $10 machine and, to his amazement, won $4,000 more. Taking his windfall winnings, Halka spent a couple of hours playing the $5 and $10 slots.
“
They told me they own 11 casinos and they never had a bigger day for slots payout in their history.
“
By Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer twalro@presspublications.com
When it was time to leave, he counted his cash found he had $11,100 – kind of an uneven number, in his mind. “We were walking past the $100 slot machines and I said to David, ‘To hell with it…I’m going play the $100 machines until $1,100 is gone and see what happens,’” he said. “I had never played the $100 machines before, and I thought, why not?” Halka said. Shortly after, he won a jackpot of $32,000. “As I was waiting to get paid the $32,000, I took $2,000 out of the winnings I had and decided to play on the Triple Diamond slot machine, which was next to the one I’d been playing,” Halka said.
He spun the machine eight times and couldn’t believe it when he saw three triple diamonds stop on the pay line. The payoff – a whopping $250,000. “It took me a couple seconds to realize what was happening,” he said. With winnings totaling nearly $300,000, he broke his own record. Hollywood Casino Toledo’s General Manager, Richard St. Jean was thrilled about the record-setting jackpot. “We love seeing winners at Hollywood Casino, especially one as big as this,” he said, adding that since opening on May 29, 2012, Hollywood Casino Toledo has paid out more than $46 million in jackpots. “They (casino management) told me they own 11 casinos and they never had a bigger day for slots payouts in their history,” Halka said. “And their second worse day included wins by five people.” As word spread about his incredible lucky streak, friends and family were “tripping out,” Halka said. “They don’t believe how lucky I am.” Halka and his wife Darcie plan to use his winnings to expand their concrete company, Bay Area Concrete based in Oregon. He’ll likely go back to the casino in a few weeks, just for fun – with no big expectations. “I just go and if it’s meant to be, I’ll win, if it isn’t I won’t,” he said.

Blood needed Because fewer donations than expected were received in June and the first week of July, the American Red Cross issued an emergency request for platelet and blood donors of all blood types to roll up a sleeve and give. “We are counting on generous volunteer blood and platelet donors to step up and give now,” said Kathy Smith, interim CEO, Western Lake Erie Blood Services Region. “Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Each day donations come up short, less blood is available for these patients in need.” Nationwide, donations through the Red Cross were down approximately 10 percent in June, resulting in about 50,000 fewer donations than expected. The shortfall is similar to what the Red Cross experienced in June 2012. Each day, the American Red Cross Western Lake Erie Blood Region needs approximately 300 donors to step forward and give blood. Eligible donors with types O negative, B negative and A negative blood are especially encouraged to give. Type O negative is the universal blood type and can be transfused to anyone who needs blood. Types A negative and B negative can be transfused to Rh positive or negative patients. There is also an urgent need for platelet donations. Platelets – a key clotting component of blood often needed by cancer patients – must be transfused within five days of donation, so the Red Cross strives to have a steady supply of platelets on hand. Call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states).

Kaczala and Burden won in the non-daily public service category for their story “Levy revenue would go toward salaries, programs,” that appeared in The Press before last November’s election. The story questioned the wisdom of six local public bodies asking voters to pass new levies on the ballot at a time when local government wages had been outpacing private sector income in Lucas County, and the median household income, population, number of businesses and per capital income had all been dropping in the last four years.

Eminent domain Continued from front page Fresh water for 50,000 Craig believes potential sellers may have misunderstood their options. Some homeowners said they think the price offered was not fair and others said they had no intention of leaving a neighborhood they lived in their entire lives. “I did talk to the residents at a community meeting,” Craig said. “If they appraise your house and they say it’s worth $40,000, they will go out and find a similar home for you, and a similar home does not mean one without a kitchen sink. If they find a similar home and it is worth $55,000, they pay the difference and they give you up to $25,000 moving costs for relocation expenses. “The substation needs to go in a specific spot. They (residents) want to know what the plans are exactly. Well, you know what, when (the city) comes to you and it’s your piece of property and says, ‘How willing are you to sell now?’ they were trying not to delay things and they didn’t want to paint themselves in a corner where they were going to have to say, ‘We need to take the property.’ Now, they are painting us into that corner and they are going to force the city to use the ‘E.D.’ word.” Before the veto, Bell said the city had no intention to use eminent domain if homeowners sell willingly. “We are negotiating with willing sellers and have never brought up the issue of eminent domain,” Bell said. “We are sensitive to the notion that these are homes for the residents, not just houses. But this is a project that is essential for Toledo’s future. In order to comply with the EPA mandates we will have to expand the facilities at the Collins Park plant which will require expanding the plant footprint. It’s been a long-term problem that affects the entire city. We’re just trying to fix it.” Craig said of the 28 homeowners contacted, 13 were in negotiations. Now, negotiations have stopped. Craig said if negotiations continued, he would make arrangements for an East Toledo appraisal firm to represent potential sellers free of charge. “I would be perfectly willing to get

Ward’s Canal dredging permit to be final this week By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Gary Buck, a retired engineering technician and biologist with the Army Corps of Engineers, expects to have a permit this week for dredging Ward’s Canal, located in Metzger’s Marsh in Jerusalem Township. This comes nearly a month after Lucas County officials celebrated the completion of the $300,000 dredging of Cooley Canal in Jerusalem Township. Because of that, about 1,400 boaters, including 573 at Meinke Marina, 419 at Anchor Pointe Marina, and hundreds more who use the public access ramps, are again able to navigate Cooley Canal to reach Lake Erie waters. Both canals developed a build-up of sediment over recent years making them impassable and affecting thousands of boaters and sportsmen. “What caused it to get really bad was the tail end of Hurricane Sandy,” Buck said. “The same thing at Cooley Canal — it drove in a tremendous amount of sand in the entrance channel in all these little harbors. You know, down even at Willow Beach, they get 100,000 yards of sand, and generally we’re talking maybe 20,000 or 30,000 at Cooley. Probably at Ward’s Canal, maybe 15,000 yards — it all depends on when you do the soundings how much it is.” Buck alleges that after Hurricane Sandy hit, the Western Lake Erie basin did not get its share of federal disaster relief funds. “Cleveland got hit hard, and FEMA only went as far to get some funding at Ashtabula and Cleveland,” Buck claimed. “In Northwestern Ohio, it’s like we don’t exist. At FEMA, they gave a lot of money to the state of Michigan but western Ohio got almost nothing. All these little harbors are really holding the bag.” Ward’s Canal is home to Meinke Marina East and the Cooley Yacht Club. Laraine Meinke, who co-owns Meinke Marina with her husband Gary, says of 400 boat ramps at their East Marina on Ward’s Canal, there are only about 20 boats. “It’s not good. The smaller boats are getting in and out. There is a sandbar that is growing just inside the channel,” Lara-
Meinke Marina East sits off the Ward Canal in Metzger's Marsh. (Press photo by J. Patrick Eaken) ine said. “Our rentals have been down for years. Now, they are almost nothing. The last couple years have been really bad. The yacht club is there — it has a lot more boats, and bigger boats, so it’s for their interest, too.” Lucas County secured a Recreational Harbor Evaluation Program Grant offered annually by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to complete the dredging at Cooley Canal. Now, Buck and the marina owners at Ward’s Canal have to seek funding to have Ward’s Canal dredged. “This (permitting) is the first hurdle. That’s half the battle,” Buck said. “As far as getting the authorization from all the state and federal agencies allowing it to happen, you’re talking about dredging the channel and taking all that dredging, the sand and gravel, back out to the lake according to state law and regulations.
“I think if the county can come up with some money that would be fantastic,” Buck said. “At one time, probably 25 years ago, back when Sandy Bihn was a commissioner, the Cooley Canal Yacht Club and Gary Meinke went to the commissioners and the commissioners declared the entrance channel at Ward’s Canal was a public highway and therefore, they extended funds to ‘clear the highway.’ “Their money came out of local funds, but normally that kind of money comes through the Division of Watercraft because a certain amount of money for boat licenses and all of that is supposed to be set aside for harbor maintenance and improvements, but we have to fight to get it.” Buck was with the Corps 34 years, retiring in 2003. Buck got the call from the Corps’ Oak Harbor office last week that the permitting for Ward’s was close to being fi-
nalized. “We submitted that back in April along with sediment samples out of the channel,” Buck said. “Gary has done this free of charge, as well as my own time, getting this permit through. We paid for samples being analyzed and everything, because he has some interest there, too. Over the years, he’s carried the ball for the Cooley and Ward’s Canal. Finally, the state stepped in at Cooley.” The history of these marinas in both channels dates back over a half century. “The East Marina has been there a long time,” Laraine Meinke said. “Anchor Pointe is the oldest in this area, and then came what used to be Romstadt’s Marina first — that came in the early 60s and Anchor Pointe came in the late 50s, and then we came in ’75. We bought the East Marina in 1980.”
Beach guide offers a gloomy outlook for Great Lakes A report by an environmental organization on the condition of the beaches in the U.S., including the Great Lakes, paints a picture of a natural resource imperiled by climate change, failing infrastructure, algae, and invasive species. Warm weather last year exacerbated conditions in the lakes that had already been deteriorating, according to the report, Testing the Waters, A Guide to Water Quality at Vacation Beaches, by the National Resources Defense Council. “In 2012, out of all the areas measured, the Great Lakes region had the highest percentage of monitoring samples that exceeded the Environmental Protection Agency’s health standards,” the report says. “Approximately 1 in every 10 samples taken in the region last year was more contaminated than EPA’s standards allowed. Citing a study by the American Society of Civil Engineers that rates the nation’s aging wastewater system a D-plus, the NRDC report notes an investment of $100.6 billion in wastewater infrastructure improvements are needed over the next 20 years in the eight Great Lakes states. “More than 70 percent of all combined sewers in the United States are located in the Great Lakes region,” the report says. “When heavy rainfall overwhelms these systems, they are designed to send excess flow through wastewater outfall locations into local waterways, including the Great Lakes, to prevent sewage from flooding

Of the five states with the highest number of outfall locations, four of them – Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Illinois – have shorelines along the lakes.” In an August 2012 article in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, researchers reported finding Arcobacter, a pathogen associated with human and animal fecal contamination, at each of the four Ohio beaches tested. Pollutants released into surface waters in the Great Lakes Basin increased by 12 percent from 2010 to 2011, with most being nitrates and pesticides from municipal wastewater treatment plants and agricultural sources as well as food and beverage manufacturers and iron and steel mills that
contribute to nitrate pollution. The combination of nitrogen and phosphorus in storm water runoff, overflows from sewers and wastewater treatment plants, and agricultural runoff contribute to the growth of algal blooms in the lakes, fouling beaches and producing toxins that are dangerous to humans, according to the report, which also notes that programs to monitor harmful algal blooms to protect swimmers are lacking in the Great Lakes states. “While this study looks at beach closings from sewage sources - Ecoli, in particular, it does not include beach closings caused by toxic algae. As water quality and quantity grow in importance for economies of regions and for overall sustainability, the growing need to maintain water quality becomes more evident, said Sandy Bihn, executive director of Lake Erie Waterkeeper, Inc. “Toxic algae comes from too many nutrients on the land going into our waters. The largest single source of phosphorous to Lake Erie is the Detroit wastewater plant. Other sources include farm fertilizer, manure, storm water, failing septic systems, and lawn fertilizer.” Invasive species such as the quagga and zebra mussels and Asian carp also contribute to the formation of algae. Last year, about 10 percent of all reported beach monitoring samples exceeded the national daily maximum bacterial standard of 235 colonies/100 milliliter. The beaches with the highest percentage exeedance rates of the daily maximum standard in 2102 were: Jeorse Park Beach I in Indiana (70 per-
cent), Camp Perry in Ohio (70 percent), Wisconsin Point Beach 2 in Wisconsin (64 percent), Arcadia Beach in Ohio (57 percent), Jeorse Park Beach II in Indiana (52 percent), Lakeview Beach (52 percent) and Bay View West (49 percent) in Ohio, Bender Beach in Wisconsin (48 percent), Park Point 20th Street/Hearding Island Canal Beach in Minnesota (47 percent), and Port Clinton (Deep\Lakeview) (47 percent) and Lakeshore Park in Ashtabula, Ohio (44 percent). Ohio had the highest exceedance rate of the daily maximum standard in 2012 (20 percent), followed by New York (Great Lakes beaches only, 14 percent), Wisconsin (14 percent), Minnesota (12 percent), Indiana (10 percent), Illinois (10 percent), Pennsylvania (9 percent), and Michigan (6 percent). “With all the rain we have had, we could all help Lake Erie by installing rain gardens, planting native plants with deeper root systems to hold water and not using phosphorous in mature lawn fertilizer Scott’s has stopped using phosphorous in its products to help the algae problem,” Bihn said. While getting sewage out of water is very important and should have been done long ago, the warming planet, increases algae growth and threatens our waters. We all need to help. “At a recent conference I attended in Atlanta, Atlanta’s mayor stated that the answer to Georgia’s water problems was to run a pipe from Ohio. We often think of the arid west as the threat but more and more the availability of water becomes a driver in community planning.”

Boy Scouts label storm drains Ag Notes
Part of the Outdoor code for Boy Scouts is “to be clean in my outdoor manner, be considerate in the outdoors, and be conservation minded.� Troop 370 exemplified this code in Oak Harbor, when members labeled more than 80 storm drains with a marker that stated, “No Dumping, Drains to Lake.� “As we increase development and impervious surfaces, such as roadways and parking lots, we also increase the amount of water running off the land and entering our storm drains,� Simpson said. “Many storm drains have historically led to the sewer system, however with the increased amount of large rainfall events, this has led to an increase of combined sewer overflow problems. “This has resulted in beaches being closed because of the amount of E.coli found in the water.� Both the Village of Oak Harbor and the City of Port Clinton have been proactive by disconnecting many of their storm drains from the sewer system, Simpson noted. “Now that many storm drains lead directly to a water body, the residents of this community have a bigger part to play in keeping our water clean.� To learn more about how to help, or to arrange for an OSWCD speaker in a classroom or at a public event, call 419-8981595.

Your Voice on the Street: by Stephanie Szozda
The Press Poll
How has all of this rain affected you?
What kind of recreation do you enjoy on Lake Erie? Swimming Boating Fishing Jet skiing Water skiing To cast your ballot, go to www.presspublications.com Frank Glambin Northwood “Other than keeping the kids in the house, not too much at all.”
Barbara McCloskey Toledo “My home is an older home and we worry about the basement flooding, but so far so good.”
Deserving better To the editor: I read the article about ex-Mayor Dan Wilczynski deciding to run for mayor of Walbridge after he forfeited his seat because of missing too many council meetings, special meetings and committee meetings. Ohio Revised code section 3.17 clearly defines that he didn’t comply with the law. He failed to attend at least three-fifths of the regular and special meetings held by council during the two-year period and forfeits the member’s position on that council. He is blaming council members because they don’t like him. The truth of the matter is that he didn’t comply with the law. He put himself in that position. The definition of forfeit is a fine or penalty for some crime, fault or neglect. He is to blame for not attending 60 percent of council meetings, special meetings and committee meetings. In the article, he said. “Somehow council found a state law that I was told by our solicitor doesn’t apply to mayors.” So our solicitor told him that ORC 3.17 doesn’t apply to him? How can one attorney say it does and the one that represents our village say it doesn’t? Not all of the public wants a mayor that was out of state for two weeks every month and sometimes out of the country. In the last election, 40 percent voted for him
Ed Ellis Oregon “We are planning on doing the Maumee Bay Lighthouse Festival this weekend and the rain has severely delayed our preparations for the event.”
Letters
Rodney Ratliff Northwood “Terrible. My daughter is preparing a goat for the Wood County Fair for 4H and its pen is flooded. The road to get rid of the hay is also flooded. Not to mention we just got a brand new pool.”
Tim Clapp Toledo “I have a cottage and it’s raised the level of the lake bringing it a little closer to my front door. Plus, I fish and water ski so it’s kinda ruining my summer.”

and 60 percent voted for the other two candidates, so he didn’t get a majority of the votes. I had to laugh at the statement by him “during the eight-and-a-half years that he was mayor we worked as a team. Of course there were disagreements, but they were professionally handled, never attacking.” Why then all the tension on council? The majority of time he was mayor he had some that were puppets for council members. Everything will run smoothly when 100 percent would agree with him. And God help those who didn’t agree. I totally disagree with him that he was able to govern via email, text and fax during all those times when he was out of town. All you have to do is look around our village to see how many things that needed to be accomplished. Apparently, when he was in town, he didn’t take the time to look around the village. We are finally getting things done. We are tired of our village being run by email, text and fax. That technology of today is wonderful, but it didn’t get a lot of projects done, and one of those projects that did get done was a total mess.
Sorry, Wilczynski, this time when you run on a one-on-one against Ed Kolanko, those 40 percent of the votes you received in the last election just aren’t enough. The 60 percent of the voters spoke loud and very clearly. They didn’t want him back in office. This village deserves better. Joann Schiavone Walbridge.
Grateful for donations To the editor: In late May, the Oak Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce started a fundraising campaign for their annual Independence Day Celebration. Patriotic stars were sold at several businesses throughout town, and the response was wonderful. We would like to thank all of the businesses that sold the stars and all of the people who purchased them. Friendship Sunoco in Oak Harbor sold the most stars, bringing in nearly $1,100 in donations. It looked like wallpaper in there, just a tremendous job by their staff. There were also several large donations by businesses in town and private citizens. We have a great event, and people want to support that, with that support we were
able to provide the same quality show. The Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce would like to thank all of the sponsors for this event – Kurt’s BP, Oak Harbor Rotary Club, Civilian Marksmanship Program, Magruder Hospital, National Bank of Ohio, McDonald’s, Carroll Township, Village of Oak Harbor, Molly Judge DPM, HMS, Materion, Memorial Hospital, A Cut Apart, Luckey Farmers, Buehler Excavating, Poggemeyer Design Group, Sprouse Insurance Agency, Radiant Windows, Oak Harbor Lions Club, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, American Legion, Druckenmiller Agency, St. Bonore Financial & Marco’s Pizza. The chamber would also like to thank Oak Harbor Hardware, Steve Skinner, Community Markets, National Bank of Ohio, and US Bank for the use of their property.

Change your thoughts if you want to change your world When you don’t like what’s on TV, you change the channel. You don’t sit there and suffer. You don’t complain about what you are watching and keep watching. You don’t get mad at the TV. You don’t resign yourself to having to watch something unappealing. What happens when you don’t like your thoughts or your thoughts are not getting the desired results? Just as you can change the TV channel, you can change your thoughts. Your thoughts govern your attitude which controls your actions which in turn affects your results. Therefore, it’s your thoughts that control your life. You attract what you think about. If you think something is possible, you are right. Conversely, if you think something is impossible, you are also right. Your mind prevents you from accomplishing anything you think is impossible. You are never stuck with particular thoughts. It doesn’t matter why you have them, you can change your mental channel. Your past experiences do not have to pollute your future. Problems arise when you don’t change the channel. There are a number of reasons for not doing so. You may feel there are no other channels. Perhaps you believe you are on the best possible channel. Others may have influenced you with their opinions that other channels aren’t worth switching to because they are unrealistic. You have the power to create whatever channel you want. You come up with the concept and devise the programming. Every aspect is within your control. There is no requirement to ask anyone’s permission. You have total absolute authority. Are you in touch with your thoughts? Do you know exactly what you are thinking about? Are your thoughts positive or negative? How do your thoughts make you feel? Do your thoughts fill you with self-doubt or spur you into action? If you can’t answer the above questions, then you don’t even know what channel you are watching. This leads to a real disconnect. It’s the same impact as trying to drive down the road with your

channel you would like to switch to. To do this, an understanding of yourself is required. What do you want? What do you like? What do you dislike? Being in touch with your likes, dislikes, needs, and wants gives you the insight needed to select the channel that best fits you. You don’t want to make excuses as to why you can’t change the channel. The only thing keeping you from changing the channel is you. The opinion of others, your age, or how long you’ve been on your specific channel doesn’t matter. Your objective is to switch to a better channel. Just as when watching TV, you may not find the right channel on the first attempt. Often you must go through several channels until you finally connect with the right
one. Even a channel that at first looks good may wind up being a disappointment. Be aware of and pay attention to your current mental channel. If it’s not what you want playing in your mind, change the channel. If you’re not happy with your thoughts, change the channel. If you are not satisfied with the direction of your life, change the channel. You have the ability to select whatever channel you want. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Midnight ponderings
Oregon schools deserve credit for taking risk on wind and solar These were the midnight ponderings drizzling through my humidity-sopped brain as I patiently waited for the rain and heat to abate while tossing and turning, searching for a night of restorative sleep. The Energizer Eagles As we make the transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy, we need leaders willing to take risks. Dennis Slotnick, Dean Sandwisch and the Oregon Schools deserve credit for taking the lead in developing wind and solar energy in our schools. In seven months, these energizer Eagles have saved $43,343 in utility costs with wind turbines located at Clay High School and Eisenhower Middle School. This is a promising start for a controversial project. The turbines are located in one of America’s busiest migratory flyways and more study on their affects on birds and bats should continue. However, initial reports are good. They show only one bat found under the turbine at Clay. The district will also bring on line solar panels being installed on the roofs of Jerusalem and Starr schools. The panels are expected to produce 2.2 megawatts of power annually. The benefits go beyond the money savings for taxpayers. These projects show students our future — the use of alternative energy as a supplemental form of energy. Other schools should take note.

by John Szozda Red light cameras Northwood City Council didn’t want to make a decision on shutting down the controversial red light cameras so it tabled a vote on renewing the contract with Redflex over and over again until the contract expired. Can’t say I blame them. I was against the cameras at first, then came to support them after former police chief Gerald Herman loosened the camera trigger to “nine you’re fine, ten you’re mine� and installed a flashing speed warning device for motorists coming downhill past Northwood schools. Those steps seemed fair. He considered adding a countdown on the crosswalk to let motorists know how many seconds they had before the light turned yellow. Still would like to see these at all intersections. The countdown can aid drivers in determining whether or not to slow down to avoid running the light. These steps struck a balance between safety and what many called an unwarranted money grab at the expense of residents hit hard by the Big Recession. Citations cost

Wrong but right P.J. Kapfhammer, Oregon School Board president, was found guilty of disorderly conduct in Maumee Municipal Court for confronting and shouting obscenities at a young autistic man who was on the Clay campus working out with the baseball team. Kapfhammer didn’t recognize the youth and confronted him demanding to know who he was and what he was doing there. The young man, who was an honorary member of the baseball team, turned away from him and didn’t respond. Obviously, Kapfhammer didn’t handle the situation correctly. He could have remained calm, but after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, he had a heightened interest in knowing what the man was doing there. Autism encompasses a wide range of behavior that, to many of us, would seem abnormal. One young man I know cannot com-
municate by speech, but rather does so by pointing and making unintelligible sounds. He is well-mannered until a trigger word or action sets him off. I once saw him at a family gathering rocking back and forth on the couch seemingly enjoying the day when he lurched forward, grabbed a wine glass and hurled it against the sliding glass door. Kapfhammer may have been wrong in how he handled the incident, but he was right in handling it. Females are smarter For the past 16 years, The Press has honored The Top Ten students of the senior class at 10 area high schools. Females typically dominate in academic achievement. This year was no exception as 69 percent of the 106 honored were females. In 2005, it was 61 percent and in 1998, 75 percent. The most popular colleges chosen were: The University of Toledo (26); Bowling Green State University (19); The Ohio State University (17) and Owens Community College (6). Most popular fields of study: engineering, especially biomedical engineering (18 percent), followed by nursing, business and education in that order. Engineering was the hottest field in both 2005 and 1998. Computer science was hot in 1998, but no one chose it this year or in 2005. Sixty-two percent played at least one sport, virtually the same percentage as in 2005 and 1998.

On the plus side, the continuous right turn lane at Wales and Oregon roads was paid for by camera funds. So too were the speed monitor trailer, two tornado sirens and the transfer of school lights from the closed Lark Elementary to Lemoyne Road. We may not miss the cameras, but we’ll miss the safety improvements the city could have made.

Ottawa County Fair celebrates its 49th year anniversary By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com For some, the Ottawa County Fair may not mean much. But for others, it’s a special time of the year – the one week every year when you can see a demolition derby, pig races, a hog-calling contest and a tractor pull all together in an event that features something for everyone. Next week, from July 15-21, the Ottawa County Fair will be celebrating its 49th year. Joe Camp, president of the Senior Fair Board and a man who has been involved with the event for over 20 years, spoke about the fair and its importance. “It gives people in the county an opportunity to show off the hard work they’ve put into their projects,” he said. “Some people have put anywhere from two to 10 months into their projects. It gives people the chance to present their projects to the county and to Northwest Ohio. (These people) have put a lot of hard work into (their projects) and it’s our responsibility to help them.” According to Camp, approximately 15,000 to 17,000 people attended the festivities last year. When I was in the Junior Fair, it was the highlight of the year,” Camp said. “You looked forward to the fair and you wished it lasted two weeks. As you grow older, though, it becomes more and more work. The reason people join the board of directors is to give back to an organization that gave back to them. You’re paying your dues after you’ve reaped your rewards (from your days as a kid). “That way, you’re able to give some kid another opportunity to have the enjoyable experiences I had when I was a kid,” Camp said. And that’s what makes the fair such a special event — the fact that so many peo-

(Press file photo by Laura Norden/ShutterMonkeys. com) ple in the community work hard to provide for others, especially children, the opportunity to have an enjoyable week in the middle of summer while seeing the hard work they’ve put into the projects pay off. Each day of the week features at least one major event. This year, they are as follows: • Monday — Harness Racing, 5 p.m. • Tuesday — Cheerleading Competition, 7 p.m.; Tug-of-War Competition, 7:30 p.m. • Wednesday — Rodeo, 7 p.m. (Tickets are $8) • Thursday — Open Pick-Up & Semi Pull, 7 p.m. (Tickets are $5) • Friday — Demolition Derby, 7 p.m. (Tickets are $5) • Saturday — Antique & Farm Stock
Pull, 8 a.m.; Lucas Oil PPL & OSTPA Truck & Tractor Pull, 7 p.m. (Tickets are $10) • Sunday — Mounted Shooting Demonstration, 1 p.m. “There’s something for everybody,” Camp said. “It’s a $7 gate admission so you’ve got to find ways to entertain everybody. The entertainment committee tries to find a diverse entertainment schedule — not everybody wants to go to the derby, not everybody wants to go to the tractor pull, but some people might want to see the livestock exhibits. We’ve got a magician coming and there will be the pig scramble. “We’ve got the harness races that have been a tradition here for a number of years, and then we’ve got the cheerleading and tug-of-war contest. There are bands playing during the week and we’ve also got square
dancing on Saturday night. We try to pull different people in from around Toledo, Sandusky and Tiffin and give them a reason to come out.” The fairgrounds, located at 7870 State Route 163 in Oak Harbor, is also home to several other events this year, among them the Flea Market (Aug. 9-11), the Holiday Arts & Crafts Show (Oct., 2013), the Fall Family Halloween Weekend (Oct. 2013) and the Open Horse Show and the Annual Ottawa Co. Building Fund Raffle, both of which are still to be scheduled.

Ottawa County Fair’s senior meals helps fund senior levy By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press news@presspublications.com When area seniors buy a $2 meal at this year’s Ottawa County Fair, they are investing in the future of the next senior levy on the ballot. Seniors Day is Wednesday, July 17, at the Ottawa County Fair, which runs July 15-21. Admission is free for seniors that day, as is most of the food and entertainment. The only cost is the lunchtime meal, sponsored by Walker Family Funeral Home. “There will be 250 meals served and the proceeds go toward the senior levy campaign fund coming up in two years,” said Senior Resources Executive Director Diane Mortensen. The senior levy helps support Ottawa County Senior Resources in providing a variety of services to nearly 10,000 seniors
across the county required by the Older Americans Act. “We have the largest number of seniors per capita than all of the counties around us. It’s a fourth of the population,” Mortensen said. And the calls for help grow daily as that statistic increases. The services include home-delivered meals, Options for Independence Home Care, DayBreak Adult Day Services and support of the six senior centers located across the county. The 0.3 mill levy generates about $443,000 a year, according to Ottawa County Commissioner Steve Arndt. It first passed in 2004 as a three-year levy and as a renewal in 2007. Then in 2010, it appeared on the ballot as a five-year levy and passed, he said. It’s up for renewal again in two years. The levy provides a majority of funding for Senior Resources programs. However, staff works to secure grants to help offset additional costs for program costs,

Mortensen said. The fair’s Senior Day is one of the yearly functions which brings seniors together from across Ottawa County. Friendships are rekindled while local agencies and businesses provide food and services for the seniors’ day out. The rest of the Senior Day schedule includes: • Continental breakfast (donuts, juice and coffee) sponsored by Crosser Funeral Home and Magruder Hospital beginning at 9 a.m. • Health Department services from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (free blood pressure and sugar tests). • Magruder Hospital speech therapy assistance from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. • Entertainment by Just Us Two from 10 a.m. to noon. The Toledo duo specializes in 1950s and `60s old time rock and roll music. • Dave Ninke will provide the lunch-
time music at noon. • After lunch, there will be bingo at 1 p.m. and a 2 p.m. ice cream social sponsored by Riverview Healthcare Campus Senior Day activities will take place in the air-conditioned building on the fairgrounds located on SR 163 between Oak Harbor and Port Clinton. “The Senior Fair Board really works with us,” Mortensen said, noting the board approved the free admission for Seniors Day and provides on-site transportation. Golf carts carry seniors from the parking lot to the activities building. And later, the board provides a wagon ride around the fair. “Some of the seniors like to get out and see the sights and taste some of the fair food,” she said. And of course, Mortensen said there will be plenty of donated water on hand to quench thirst in the mid-July heat.

Creatures enthrall at Library �Right now, he eats roast beef. He’s eating better than I am. He should be eating chicken right now but he’s not. He can eat a whole cow,� the educator laughed. Then the educators got to the juicy part of the show, at least as far as the kids were concerned. The adults reached into one of the three coolers on the table before them. Out came a hard-shelled bug – a Madagascar hissing cockroach, which typically lives with thousands of its relatives on the floor of the jungle amid dead and decaying fruits and vegetables. Next, a turtle and a snake emerged. Kids under 5 were not allowed to touch these two though. “There’s a potential for salmonella,� Lockert said, explaining why the younger children, elderly and pregnant women could not touch the reptiles. “They are quarantined at the zoo and cared for better than you and I so that’s not really an issue. It’s just a precaution.� Many of the older children eagerly ran two fingers across the shell of the eastern box turtle named Michelin. But some held their hands back cautiously as Lockert walked among the group with the two-foot
By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press news@presspublications.com What do cockroaches, snakes and turtles have in common? The creeping, creepy creatures captured the attention and imagination of some 40-some wide-eyed children at Genoa Library last week. Toledo Zoo educators dropped in with their hands-on show as part of the library’s 2013 summer reading club “Dig Into Reading. It was one of 75 shows done so far this year by educator Dave Lockert, who was assisted by education programmer Kathy West and zoo volunteer Julianne Racine. “I like rolly pollies,� said 5-year-old Hudson Kwiatkowski, of Williston, before he settled in for a front seat view of the show. The trio tempted the tiny crowd first by regaling them with stories about the zoo’s 17-foot long crocodile that weighs in at 1,500 pounds. “It almost weighs as much as my car,� Lockert said. The kids were more interested in the croc’s appetite though.

College World Series pool play returning to Oregon By Press Staff Writer sports@presspublications.com Two days of the Buckeye Cable Sports Network’s NABF College World Series are to be played at the City of Oregon’s John Ousky Field, Aug. 1-2. It is expected that up to 10 pool play games, five each day, will be played from morning until after nightfall at Ousky, the home field for Clay High School, located at the William P. Coontz Recreation Complex on Seaman Road, although the schedule could be modified for rain and tournament management. On Aug. 3-4, the quarterfinals, semifinals, and championship head to the field turf at Mercy Field, home of Central Catholic High School and Lourdes College teams. At least two teams with local players, the Toledo Hawks and Genoa Rampage, have a chance to qualify representing the host organization, the Toledo Amateur Baseball Federation. A Hawks’ or Rampage Fed championship or runner-up finish will put either team in the 20-team College World Series. The Hawks play in two leagues, the Toledo Amateur Federation adult league and the Tri-State Baseball League. The 47-game wood bat tournament showcases college players from throughout the country.

Clay’s summer grapplers second of 48 teams at Disney By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com A repeat performance from last year’s tournament would have satisfied Clay wrestling coach Ralph Cubberly, but this was even better. The Eagles’ “A� team placed second out of 48 teams in the Community I Division on June 27 through July 1 at the AAU Scholastic Dual Meet National Championships in Orlando, Fla. Clay took fourth at the same tournament, which is also called the Disney Duals, last summer. “I was thinking between fourth and eighth,� Cubberly said. “We lost some good guys last year. I never guessed that we would be second. We took it seriously. This is a serious trip for our school and our program.� The Eagles went 9-1 at the Duals, finishing behind Perry Meridian (Ind.) High School. Meridian won the tournament for the third year in a row, handing Clay its
only loss (45-23) in 10 dual matches. “They’re a very, very good team,� Cubberly said. “Their high school team was ranked 11th in the country last year. They have about 3,000 kids in their school.� The Eagles, in addition to beating Toledo Central Catholic (40-13) in Florida, also beat high school opponents from Pine Bay (Miami), North River (Fla.), Naples (Fla.), Lincoln Highway (Pa.), Perry Meridian’s “B� team, Naperville Phoenix (Ill.), Westside (Fla.) and Dakota (Ill.). Each team was allowed to “pick up� three wrestlers from other schools. Clay, which had 30 wrestlers and six coaches, added two individuals from Fremont Ross and one from Archbold. Ross senior Trey Grine was the only gold medal winner for Clay, going 10-0 and winning the award for Technically Superior Athlete. The Eagles won four silver medals and four bronze medals. Silver medal winners won nine of 10 matches, and bronze winners finished with 8-2 records.
Clay’s silver medal winners were senior 118-pounder Aaron Henneman, junior Richie Screptock at 137, senior Nick Stencel at 165 and sophomore Matt Stencel at 187. Cubberly said Matt Stencel was the Eagles’ biggest surprise of the silver medal winners. “He’s going to be a sophomore and wrestled 187 pounds for us,� the coach said. “Usually kids at that weight are 1718 years old, and he went out there and went 9-1 against some big, strong kids. He has already improved from last year. Aaron Henneman was another surprise. He wrestled very strong throughout the tournament. He just went out and did the job for us. He was in really good shape and he used that to the best of his ability.� Cubberly was not surprised by the performances of veterans Screptock and Nick Stencel. Screptock placed fourth at the Ohio state tournament in March. “Richie’s a pretty tough kid,� Cubberly said. “He’s a guy I counted on winning all his matches because he is a very experi-

enced wrestler. He’s been through the wars and knows how to win tough, tight matches. Nick is a strong, hard-working and aggressive kid who wrestles lights-out for six minutes. That helps him a lot.� Clay’s bronze medal winners were seniors Jared Davis at 125 pounds, Gavin Nelson at 132 and heavyweight Antonio Zapata, and junior Kevin Witt at 175. “Kevin was a big surprise for us,� Cubberly said. “He’s never been on our varsity team before. He was on our Green team as a freshman and sophomore. He went down there this year and was a pleasant surprise. He’s learned how to wrestle the last two years and looks like he’s ready to step into our Gold team next year.� Peyton Geary, a junior from Ross who went 7-3, earned a copper medal for the Eagles. Clay’s “B� team competed in the Community II Division, for smaller schools. Clay senior Brian Richmond earned a copper medal at 220 pounds after posting an 8-3 record.

Bring on trotters, gambling, at county fairgrounds By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Ed Wagner, chairman of the race committee for the Ottawa County Fair Board, predicts a decent four-legged turnout for the one-day harness racing showcase Monday at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds. “We’re figuring on 13 races,” Wagner said. “We’re set up for six horses in each race, but I’m going to say (there will be) 4-5 in every race.” The first race is scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday at the fair, which runs from July 15-21. Wagner, who has been in charge of the fair’s harness racing events for 25 years, has been a member of the Ottawa County Fair Board since 1984. He said there is a legitimate reason why harness racing at the fair was dropped from three days of racing down to one day last year and again this summer. “We went from three days down to two, and last year it was one day because of the drop in the number of horses in Ohio as far as the racing end of it,” Wagner said. “This year it has picked back up. In two more years, the numbers should pick back up to a certain point. When a colt drops down to the ground, it takes two years for them to get to racing.” The Ottawa County Fairgrounds track is a half-mile banked track with a dirt gravel surface. Both pacers and trotters will compete this year, but the number of horses and their jockeys who will compete won’t be known until a couple of days before post time. “They don’t call the horses in until Friday morning, when they have to nominate the horses,” Wagner said. “They’re all nominated, so I don’t know how many are signed up to come. There are 100 horses nominated to run the circuit in Ottawa County. We have two races we don’t have any more, the signature races. We didn’t get involved in them, mainly because of the money issue with the Fair Board. We dropped that part of it last year. Hopefully in another year or two I can get that back in.” There will be three special events again this season: the Gordon Witty Race, the Portage River Race and one that was started last year in memory of Jim Walter,
Trotters turn into their stretch run at Ottawa County Fairgrounds. (Press file photo by Harold Hamilton/ HEHphotos.smugmug.com) called the Jim Walter Memorial Race. “The Gordon and the Portage have been there ever since the track got started, in 1964 or ‘65,” Wagner said. Witty helped build the track at the fairgrounds and was a well-known trainer, driver and owner who helped organize the Ottawa County Horseman’s Association. “Jim Walter was with Witty from day one and helped get everything going,” Wagner said. “When Gordy got where he couldn’t get around so much, Jim took over. He pretty much took over the track and got everything ready for the races.” Bill Peters, a resident of Edgerton, Ohio, will call Monday’s races for the 35th year. Peters, who began announcing in 1960, became a horse owner and trainer for 31 years beginning in 1962. He started
“clerking” races - taking entries and putting the races together - in 1972. “I still do that,” Peters said. “I collect the entry fees and write the checks. This is my 35th year as announcer and clerk.” Several local owners - two from Pemberville, one from Oregon and one from Woodville - will have a stake in this year’s harness racing events, according to Peters. Co-owners Mark Headworth of Oregon and Steve Bateson of Rudolph, Ohio, will have a horse named Happy Go Jamie entered in the two-year-old colt trot. Emil Konesky of Woodville will have a horse called Trottin On Over in the threeyear-old colt trot. As a two-year-old, Trottin On Over won the Ohio Sires Stakes final and was named the two-year-old colt trotter of the year.
Peters said Dan Venier of Pemberville is likely to race two horses, Chuckie B, in the three-year-old colt trot, and Samantha Truant in the three-year-old filly pace. John Konesky of Pemberville will likely race Countonme in the three-year-old filly trot. Countonme is a former co-champion in the Northwestern Ohio Colt Racing Association. Peters said the later start time this year (last year’s racing started at 3 p.m.) should make for more wagering on Monday. Just over $5,000 was wagered in 13 races in 2012. One new track record was broken last year. Sir James finished in 2:03 in the twoyear-old colt trot in a non-winner’s race, breaking the previous mark of 2:05 set in 2004.
Oak Harbor demolition derby driver ready to rumble By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Let’s get ready to rumble…on four wheels, that is. The Demolition Derby at the Ottawa County Fair is set for July 19, at 7 p.m. Demolition derby, a motorsport that involves ramming the other drivers’ cars until your car is the only one left running, has its many fans across the United States. Joe Lenke, of Oak Harbor, is one such fan. So much so that he decided at the age of 18 to start banging his car with the best of them. “I’ve been doing it for 15 years and I just love it,” Lenke said. “It is the adrenaline rush, and the camaraderie of the people. There is a whole derby community that likes to go out and have a good time.”
The 2003 Oak Harbor High School graduate travels across the state and the country to compete. He has won in 2001 in Loraine County, 2008 in Oak Harbor, and in 2010 in Erie County. In demolition derby, competitors may use full-size, American made sedans or station wagons. The Ottawa County Fair has several classes of cars in the derby including 1980’s or newer full-size cars, compact cars and minivans. Car owners typically modify the vehicles including taking out all of the glass in the car before going into the automotive gladiator ring. Lenke will be competing in a 2005 Ford Crown Victoria. His number L3 car is sponsored by Otis Motors, Danner’s Towing and Recycling, and Phillips Excavating. “I am a Ford guy,” Lenke said. “I like the way the frames are. They are a better car

with a full frame, not a uni-body. I have my own motor and transmission I switch out between cars.” Lenke said he has 60 hours into the building of the car. He said drivers typically spend $1,000 - $5000 on their rides, depending on the car they buy. Lenke’s engines are built by his father Otis, of Otis Motors, in Oak Harbor. His father Otis, along with his brother, Matt, and friend, Billy Estep, will serve on his pit crew during the event. “I have won second place at the fair once so I really want to win this one,” Lenke said. “It all comes down to who is the last man standing. It feels awesome when you smoke another car and back away. Just awesome.” The cars will be competing on the horse track this year, Lenke said, which will be turned into a mud pit with the addition of
water. Mud slows the vehicles down and adds to the competition, he said adding he has seen people get hurt before. “I have seen some guys have to be hauled away because they blacked out after getting hit,” Lenke said. “For the most part it is safe. Although I did break my wrist last year in Washington Court House, Ohio, I usually do not get hurt too bad. I usually get back aches, whiplash, and some bruises. It takes me about a week to recover, but, usually it is nothing major.” Although Lenke’s wife, Stephanie, is not all too thrilled with the derby, the couple’s two children, Jake, 5, and Abigail, 4, love to cheer their dad on. “It really is very entertaining,” he said. “This sport is for anyone who loves to see mud flying, cars smashing into each other, and the sound of motors. People just need to come on out and enjoy it.”

Oak Harbor wrestlers national runner-up at Disney By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Twenty-two wrestlers and four coaches from Oak Harbor participated in the AAU Scholastic Dual Meet National Championships in Orlando, Fla. The Rockets made the trip worthwhile by placing second out of 18 teams in the Community II Division at the tournament, also known as the Disney Duals. Each team was allowed to “pick up” wrestlers from other schools, and Oak Harbor added three wrestlers from Fremont St. Joseph and one each from Fostoria and Port Clinton. This marked the fifth straight year the Rockets competed at the Disney Duals, but this was their best finish. Oak Harbor placed fourth three times, including last year. “I knew on paper we had a nice team,” coach George Bergman said. “We didn’t really have any holes, where other teams we’ve brought down there had a few holes. Other (Oak Harbor) teams have had more superstars, but we were solid from top to bottom this year.” Bergman said he and his program look at the Disney Duals as a springboard to the upcoming prep season. It’s also fun to compete against teams from around the country. “The kids really look forward to it,” Bergman said. “There’s only one weigh-in, so we weigh in the day before and don’t wrestle until the next day, maybe at 8, maybe at 10, maybe at noon. Then it’s all wrestling - who’s the better wrestler, not who can cut the weight better. The Ohio High School Athletic Association weighs (wrestlers) in one hour before you wrestle. “In Florida they are eating three square meals and snacking and having a great time hanging out with their teammates. It’s great team bonding for the next year. Our goal is to prepare our team for the following year and find out who the leaders are and who’s going to step up.” The Rockets won 10 of 11 dual matches, losing only to defending team champion Yorktown (Ind.), 64-6. “They’re very good,” Bergman said. “They usually win Division II.” The Rockets’ wins came against Illinois Top Dogs, Team Monster (Fla.), Suwannee (Fla.) Matmen, Evansville (Ind.) Memorial Blue, Clay (Fla.), Team Montana Sidney, Jasper (Ind.) Wrestling Club, Team Iowa Gold, and Orange City (Fla.) Wrestling. Oak Harbor defeated Skyline Sicknasty (Va.) in the semifinals before losing to Yorktown. The Rockets’ team had one gold medal winner, senior Tony Reynolds of Fostoria, and one silver winner in alternate Trevor Scherf. The freshman competed at 120 pounds and finished with a 10-1 record. Oak Harbor had six bronze medalists
Nine wrestlers from Oak Harbor participated at the Lee Pamulak National duals in Iowa.

Bergman said the performance of Hrynciw and Huston was a pleasant surprise. “They did great,” he said. “Bruce was a junior high state champ after his seventh grade year. He’s been good for a long time. We figured he would do well. He’s not the biggest and he was undersized and went out there and fought like crazy and did a super job. Jacob was in the match to place at junior high state this year. He has the abiliity and has matured and stepped up and won some big matches for us.” Bergman also liked what he saw from Petersen. “He wrestled probably half the season M Caar k Y len ou da r r!!!

He’s an excellent athlete, and you can see he’s growing as a wrestler and he’s going to be fun to coach in the next few years.” Two wrestlers — junior heavyweight T.J. Lawrence and junior alternate Josh Beckhusen (170) — won copper medals. “Our goal was to improve upon our fourth-place finish,” Bergman said. “To go and do it was extremely gratifying. They worked hard at our camp, and they came through.” Nine wrestlers from Oak Harbor participated at the Lee Pamulak National Duals in Iowa. The AAU sanctioned event drew in 44 teams from all over the country. Participating for Team Firehouse were Zach Losie, Trent Overmyer, Trent Ballard, Jacob Huston, Trevor Scherf, Dylan Thorp, Dylan Mansor and Jaret Parker.

The philosopher who composed Ecclesiastes advises us "Do not be over righteous, neither be over wise, why destroy yourself?" (Ecclesiastes 7:16) Accusing others of wrongdoing, especially when there is any chance that we might be mistaken, is almost always folly. But, there are times when it is appropriate to be assertive in calling someone out. When someone is mistreating us our "moral alarm bells" are usually loud and clear and we should speak up about it.

herself. Students at Ohio State University recently created web sites intended to "call out" people who posted racist, sexist, or otherwise hateful comments on social media websites. Courage is central to the moral life because it requires courage to speak up for what is right. But, we should remember also to be circumspect about our criticism. It is often easier to see the speck of dust in your neighbor's eye than the log in your own. "Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment." John 7:24
