Oregon on “most boring” in Ohio list By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

Collins’ vision

Put lighthouse on the smokestack By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com As of Wednesday, two smokestacks are down in East Toledo, and the tallest one remains. It is one promise that Mayor D. Michael Collins kept — telling East Toledo residents at a town hall meeting that on July 16 two smokestacks from the razed Acme power plant in the Marina District will come down. “When I went over and we had an introductory going to the National Museum of

the Great Lakes, and not that I had not seen it before, because that wouldn’t be true, but with all that investment that was there and what was left — three smokestacks and rubble. The place still looks today like Stuttgart, Germany in 1947,” Collins told about 150 present at the East Toledo Family Centerhosted town hall meeting last month. “There is only one way to describe it — it looks like it was bombed out,” added the mayor. Now, the mayor has a vision. He wants to see the remaining smokestack developed. “What I would love to see happen, and I think we can get private partnerships with

this, meaning more than one, I envision a lighthouse sitting on that top,” Collins said. “Close your eyes and think about that for a second. “You’ve got the Veteran’s Skyway (Interstate 280 Bridge) illuminated with LED lights and when the High Level (Anthony Wayne) Bridge is done, I’ve got a commitment from ODOT that they are bringing LED lights on that bridge. And, as you’re sitting there in East Toledo, a lighthouse on top of a smokestack, won’t that be cool? “That’s my dream and I want my dream Continued on page 2

Oregon officials defended their great city in the wake of recently being ranked as the 10th most boring city in Ohio by Movoto, a residential real estate blog. Lindsay Myers, executive director of the Oregon on the Bay Regional Economic Development Foundation, said she “was a little miffed” when she read the blog. “I’d rather be on a boring list than on a terrible place to live [list],” she said. Myers said she responded to Movoto’s unflattering designation in a tweet to the company: “You call it boring. We call it peaceful and simple. Visit our website for all the things you can do, and see, and be in Oregon,” she said. “All he tweeted back was `Thanks.’” In the blog, the writer makes it clear that he’s referring to the city, not the state. “That would be far more interesting than this place,” he said. Oregon had the fifth lowest population density and a very low arts ranking, according to the blog. “There was no youthful vibe here, as confirmed by a lack of nightlife and music venues. There were some non-fast food restaurants to pick from, but if you’re not a foodie, you’ll be bored as soon as your meal is over.” So did Oregon have anything going for it? Mostly a lot of parks, according to the blog. “While that might be relaxing and fun for some, it doesn’t exactly scream excitement. The city also has a kick-butt police and fire department, but that still doesn’t lead to tons of fun. Maybe if you like peace and quiet, in abundance, this is the place for you,” according to the blog. Movoto based its rankings on the following criteria: Nightlife per capita; live music venues per capita; active life options per capita (parks, outdoor activities); arts and entertainment per capita; fast food restaurants per capita (the fewer the better); percentage of restaurants that are not fast food (the higher the better) percentage of young residents ages 18 to 34 (the higher the better); and population density (the Continued on page 2

to happen. It’s not for me. It’s for the City of Toledo. As they travel north and south on 75 and they see that lighthouse rolling in the evening, what will that message be to people who are coming through this area? ‘Hey, that’s a pretty cool place. That place looks like they’ve got it together.’” He says the taller stack remaining has to be illuminated because of federal aviation regulations, and it is estimated to cost about $18,000 put the lighthouse on top. The idea for a lighthouse came from talking to a board member of the Great Lakes museum earlier the same day he held the town hall. Additional demolition work will continue at the site after the implosion, it is not expected to impact traffic or access to the National Museum of the Great Lakes or other surrounding homes or businesses. Mayor Collins promises that the rubble from the demolition Wednesday and from the power plant demolition will be cleaned up in a timely manner. “We’re going to take the smallest of the three smokestacks, because the height of those smokestacks requires us to illuminate it, and believe me, this is something I’ve got to watch — they are going to go out there with a crane and shave it off,” Collins said. “Now, I would not want to be that crane when they shave it off, but they tell me they can do it, so they can do it. But, it will be cleared out before Labor Day. It’s absolutely has to be done.”

Kolin made sure she was there to witness the explosions. Kolin says she personally likes the idea of putting the lighthouse on the smokestack, even though it would be a city undertaking. “We’ve had a number of just passing conversations with them dealing with this, including about the dropping of the smaller ones (smokestacks),” Kolin said. “Bill Burkett, who is commissioner (for economic and business development) For the city of Toledo, is kind of spearheading the whole project,” Kolin continued. “He and I had a conversation about it, and there is a lot of stuff that has take place before that can even be taken into consideration. “On a personal level, I think that would be fantastic. It would be like the bow that would top off that whole area. But, it’s not us, it’s a city property and all it is, is an idea. It won’t be a functioning lighthouse because boats down the river don’t need one. The Maumee River is not that big. Personally, I think it would be absolutely beautiful.” Last week, it was announced the museum will receive $27,000 from The Andersons Fund Supporting Organization of Toledo Community Foundation to re-

locate and install a Second Order Fresnel lighthouse currently at the former museum site in Vermilion. However, this is not the lens that will go on the smokestack. “It’s actually a refractive lens. It’s one of only eight Second Order lens left that are complete on the Great Lakes,” said Kolin. “It’s a full lens. It’s over six feet tall and we’ve owned it for a while. There are a few other ones, but they have missing pieces to them, but this is a whole, complete lens. “The grant we received from the Anderson’s foundation is enabling us to transport it here, and it’s only a portion of the funds that we need to be able to do it. It’s quite an undertaking and there are only a couple people that the Coast Guard has deemed qualified to deconstruct, move, and reconstruct and clean to get it back into condition and show it.” Kolin says the entire cost to move the lens from Vermilion to Toledo and prepare it for showing is estimated at $57,000. Kolin says since the museum reopened at its new Toledo location last spring, memberships have increased to the Great Lakes Historical Society, which operates the museum. “We’re doing really well,” Kolin said. “For the first calendar year, April through March, we had an expected budget anticipating 500 new memberships and we are well past that in two months. So the memberships are flying out the door. People are coming in like crazy. They say, ‘Build it and they will come’ and they really do. The reception has been fantastic.” Events coming to the museum include the Marina Mart on August 9. The museum will host vendors to sell photographs, books, and other nautical paraphernalia.

higher the better). “Some of the issues we know we face – too many fast food establishments, and growing our population of younger professionals living and working here in the city,” said Myers. “Those are some of the things we’re starting to tackle already.” Movoto’s top 10 list of most boring cities in Ohio: 1. New Franklin 2. Green 3. Trotwood 4. Sharonville 5. Springdale 6. Macedonia 7. Centerville 8. Clayton 9. Blue Ash 10. Oregon “Thrill seekers are not going to be able to find their fix in any of these 10 places,” states the blog. “If you’re an adrenaline junkie and considering, for some absurd reason, moving to Ohio, be sure to stay clear of this yawn-inducing top 10.” Mayor Mike Seferian said he wasn’t bugged by Oregon being on the list. “I took that as a complement to say we are one of the 10 most boring cities because we don’t want to fool ourselves. You know the saying, `A nice place to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there?’ We are exactly the opposite of that. Most people do not pick the City of Oregon as a nice place to visit or to take a vacation. The reason a lot of people chose to live here is because it is a great place to live, it’s not overtaken by terrible traffic. It is simply a great place to raise your family. In the attempt to develop, we have to be careful not to destroy the reason people moved here in the first place,” said Seferian.

Host families sought g

The Council on International Educational Exchanges (CIEE) is looking for host families to welcome international high school exchange students from Germany, Spain, Morocco, Brazil and many other countries coming in August. All kinds of families are encouraged to apply, including those with kids, empty nesters and single parents. CIEE students have the appropriate visas and medical insurance, and pay for all of their own expenses. Students are between the ages of 15-18. In addition to committing to a yearlong experience, a family may act as a welcome family and bring the student into the community for a part of their experience as well.

Burglary cases The cases of two men charged with burglary of a home in Lake Township have been bound over to the Wood County grand jury. Jonathan W. Hall, 44, Toledo, and Douglas J. Hall, 45, were arraigned in Perrysburg Municipal Court and waived their right to a preliminary hearing. They face second degree felony charges. They were arrested July 1 by township police at the home of a Latcha Road resident, who came home for lunch while the two were reportedly in the home. The resident, a farmer, called police and blocked them from leaving in their car with his grain-hauling truck. A flat-screen television belonging to the resident was in the car at the time, police said. Other items not belonging to the resident, including commemorative coins, remote control units, jewelry, watches and CDs were also in the car, according to police.

Foster families

Toledo Area Humane Society in need of volunteers By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Toledo Area Humane Society (TAHS) is looking for volunteers to foster kittens, which fill up the facility each summer. Danielle Marie Jones, director of marketing & development at the TAHS, said over 50 kittens need fostering right away. “Summer is always the very busiest time of the year for kittens,” she said. “Over the summer, we can have 250 or more in foster care at one time.” If TAHS can’t find enough fosters, the kittens will never get the chance to be adopted, she added. The TAHS pays for all the materials for fostering, she said, including food, litter, bowls, bedding, toys, litter box, medication and veterinary services. “There are no out of pocket expenses for fosters,” she said. Fostering involves giving animals “a quiet space to stay, some attention to help socialize them, getting them ready to be put up for adoption,” she said. Kittens, on average, usually need to be fostered for about six weeks, or until they weight 2 lbs. Each year, the shelter has special promotions to help kittens get adopted. “We’ve had several already and will continue to do so throughout the summer,” she said.

rewarding experience. Generally, fosters: • Provide a safe and loving environment for puppies and kittens in the early days of life that may or may not have their mother. • Have their own transportation to bring animals to veterinary appointments or in cases of emergency. • Have the time to provide the socialization and basic training that will give the animal a better chance to find a permanent home. To become a foster, complete a foster volunteer application form on the shelter’s website at http://www.toledohumane.org., sign a foster care agreement, and attend the foster care orientation training class. The Toledo Area Humane Society is located at 1920 Indian Wood Circle, Maumee. “It’s a rewarding experience, and all we’re asking for is your time and love for the pets. It helps the animals with their journey to get to a second chance,” said Jones. The facility regularly takes in animals from Monroe and Lenawee counties in Michigan, and from Ottawa, Sandusky, Fulton, Williams, Wood, Lucas, Defiance and Hancock counties in Ohio, according to Jones. “In all of these neighbouring counties, the majority of the animals we help are cats – which is why fosters are so important,” she added.

Alford plea in burglary case By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A man charged with two counts of attempted burglary of the home owned by State Rep. Chris Redfern has entered an Alford plea to one count in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court. Under the plea agreement, Alexander Reitzel, 19, Catawba Island Twp, withdrew his not guilty plea but doesn’t admit committing the offense. He was indicted last December on two third degree felony counts of attempted burglary of the home owned by Rep. Redfern and his wife, Kimberly, in the 2800 block of N. Bluff Ridge Drive. Visiting Judge Dale Crawford ordered Reitzel to serve a diversion program. “He entered a plea of guilty but the judge hasn’t found him guilty yet; and he won’t find him guilty unless Reitzel violates his diversion,” said Joe Gerber, assistant county prosecutor. Terms of the diversion, which will be in effect for up to three years, are set by the probation department, he said. The Alford plea includes one fourth degree charge of attempted burglary with a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison and a fine of up to $5,000. If Reitzel successfully completes the diversion program, the prosecutor’s office will recommend dismissing the charges and the court is obligated to accept the recommendation, according to the agreement. Redfern, who is also the Ohio Democratic Party chairman, and his family were not home at the time of the alleged offense but security video shows Reitzel trying to open a door and looking in windows. Redfern was able to monitor the surveillance system remotely by computer and called authorities after watching Reitzel’s movements. The home was for sale at the time. According to court records, Reitzel’s attorney argued he has an obsessive compulsive disorder and wanted his parents to buy the home.

Electric vehicles draw viewers at the Classics on Main Car Show (Photo courtesy of Michael Hall)

Electric cars suitable for trips, says enthusiast By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Can a road trip through two states be a realistic expectation for an electric auto? A lot more is possible with an electric car than what many realize, says Oregon resident Michael Hall. Hall is president of the recently formed Electric Auto Association of Northwest Ohio, founded in January. The EAANO is a local chapter of the national organization named Electric Auto Association. The EAA was formed in 1967 and is now based in Aptos, California. Driving through two states is what Jim Dunmyer did. Dunmyer, a member of the local chapter, drove his 100 percent electric Nissan Leaf from Temperance, Michigan to Bowling Green, Ohio to work as a volunteer for an electric car show. OK, that’s just nearly 78 miles round trip, but if you’re driving to work every day, it gets the job done for most people. Hall says an electric car works for any average trip — driving to work, to the store, even short road trips like Dunmyer’s. “Once you go onto driving one of these things, it’s like ‘Oh, my God,’ why haven’t we all been driving them?,” Hall said. “Ninety percent of us in American only drive 40 to 50 miles a day or less. Us 90 percent could all drive to work, just plug in, and go home. “There is no realistic fear that the grid is going to crash because we all plugged in our cars because realistically if 10 percent bought an electric car and plugged it in tonight, the grid would still survive. We’re not going to pull the grid down, even if 10 percent of Americans were driving electric cars today. This whole phobia about, ‘Oh, my God, I can’t drive them,’ It’s the most beautiful thing in the world. It’s very gracious (driving).” Hall, Dunmyer and other members of the local chapter are electric vehicle enthusiasts; driving electric vehicles, hybrids, and gasoline vehicles converted to electric Local members work as electricians, edu-

cators, and engineers; many working in a trade that helped develop the technology used in electric vehicles today. “We call it ‘alternative propulsion,’ We’re going to try and do some outreach with the high schools and try to promote electric vehicle education at the colleges as well.” Hall said. “We’re looking to find funding for programs to educate students, something more than just an automotive class. We want them to understand there is more to cars than just gasoline and diesel fuel and that there are other avenues they can pursue when they get out of high school and get out of college. “We’ve been working with Owens Community College to try and get a program going there. It’s very slow going. The educational system is full of red tape, and we’re trying to cut through the red tape and put some programs in place.” Hall, who has owned both an electric vehicle and a hybrid-electric vehicle, currently drives a Ford Escape hybrid, a sports utility vehicle that gets 33 miles to the gallon. Electric Avenue Earlier this month, the local chapter held a display at the Classics on Main Car Show in Bowling Green. Hall called the turnout “outstanding.” This year’s event drew thousands of visitors, hundreds of classic cars, and a parking lot classified as “Electric Avenue” was filled with 18 electric and hybrid vehicles. “Foot traffic was brisk throughout the day with hundreds stopping to enjoy the numerous electric vehicles like Jim Dunmyer’s Leaf,” Hall said. “It is exciting to see such a large amount of foot traffic in our Electric Avenue display. This year’s event has drawn more enthusiasts to our display area. People are taking a serious look at these vehicles, asking questions, sitting the vehicles; showing more interest than ever before. It’s fantastic,” Hall continued. “It is so nice to have two Chevy Volts, one Leaf, a Tesla roadster and Tesla Model

S along with the other great vehicles displayed here. I am thankful for the Hybrid vehicles supplied by the Thayer Automotive Group as well.” Member Steve Shaffer displayed his GMC Sonoma pickup converted from gasoline to electric propulsion. “I was lucky to get a Katrina flood-damaged vehicle with very little rust,” Shaffer said. “The engine and electrical components were destroyed by the hurricane flooding. With a little soap and water I was able to have a rust-free southern vehicle that was perfect for the conversion.” Another member, Tony Palumbo, drove his converted Pontiac Grand Am, now renamed the “Grand AMP”, to the event. Palumbo’s background includes decades of service with Bowling Green State University’s former Electric Vehicle Institute. “This vehicle has many components used in the historic Electric Falcon that raced back in the 1990s,” Palumbo said. “Students had the opportunity to work with a little bit of history and utilize key components into the design of this converted vehicle.” Another key member of the former Electric Vehicle Institute is Jeff Major of Cygnet. He drove his electric Think City vehicle to display in the show. “My wife loves this car,” he said. “It gets 80 to 100 miles on a full charge and recharging the battery pack costs only about three to four cents per mile; a lot less than 20 cents per mile for gasoline vehicles. It has antilock brakes, air conditioning, and all the features you’d expect from any other vehicle, just better.” Hall speaks often about the importance of cleaning the environment and increasing public awareness of the number of electric vehicle choices that are on the market today. Regular meetings of the association e held at Owens Community College. For information about the association, visit www.electricauto.org. Hall can be emailed at eaaofnwo@yahoo.com.

The Northwestern Water and Sewer District has sent drinking water notices to users in the eastern portion of the City of Northwood and in Lake Township, including the Village of Millbury. Simon Gundy, assistant superintendent of the district, said the notices were issued to about 2,800 consumers who receive water from the same distribution line. Water tests indicate the maximum allowable level for trihalomethanes has been exceeded and while the notices state users don’t need to use an alternative such as bottled water, persons with specific health concerns are being advised to consult their doctor. Gundy said a running average the last four quarters of the THM count has been 0.094 mg/L (milligrams per liter). The allowable level is 0.080 mg/L. He said sampling during the third quarter of 2013, when Lake Erie experienced severe algal blooms, strained the treatment process and increased the THM count. Environmental Protection Agency regulations require the count to be included in the calculation for the average count for two more quarterly sampling periods. According to the federal EPA website, trihalomethanes are a group of four chemicals formed along with other disinfection byproducts when chlorine or other disenfectants are used to control microbial contaminants in drinking water react with naturally occurring organic and inorganic matter in water. The trihalomethanes are chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane and bromoform. A maximum allowable annual average of 100 mg/L was in place until December 2001 for large surface water public water systems. The district purchase bulk water from the cities of Oregon and Toledo and conducts testing in addition to the testing done by the cities. “The problem we’re having right now is the water coming from Lake Erie has algae and other organics in it. They get as much out as they can but there is still a little bit left,” Gundy said. “When you add chlorine to kill the micro-organisms in the water it reacts and forms the THMs. “ Jerry Greiner, president of the water and sewer district, said the district has five connections to the Oregon’s distribution system but the problem is limited to waterline 200, He said there appears to be a correlation between elevated THM levels and longer distances from the city’s treatment plant. For more information call the district at 877 354-9090, ext. 170. Board seat filled The district’s board of trustees has approved the nomination of Steve Arnold to a board seat vacated by Bill Davies, who resigned. Arnold is a life-long resident of Wood County from the Bloomdale area.

Oak Harbor

New principal making rounds in community By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press Cheryl Schell relishes these laid-back days as she heads into her first school year as Oak Harbor High School principal. She’s been making a swing through town at morning coffee events accompanied by Superintendent Guy Parmigian and Treasurer Tim Coffman to get to know community members and hear what’s important at the grassroots level. The Benton-Carroll-Salem Board of Education approved Schell’s three-year contract effective Aug. 1. “I’ve been looking for a principalship for a while,” the former Fremont Ross High School assistant principal said during a Friday morning stop at the Happy Hour Inn on Water Street. And the neighboring Benton-Carroll-Salem School District seemed like a good fit, she said. “The community has a good reputation. The school has a good reputation.” The job posting attracted 25 applicants. A selection committee comprised of teachers, administrators, a secretary and maintenance worker whittled that number down to eight and then the final two which included Schell, Superintendent Guy Parmigian said. Schell’s record stood out for a number of reasons, the superintendent said, especially her understanding of curriculum instruction, a desire to build strong relationships with all district shareholders (the kids, staff, parents, community and businesses) as well as her belief in the importance of extra-curricular activities in student life. She worked as a teacher in the Fremont school system for 15 years before serving as an administrator another nine years there. “For us, she’s the real deal,” Parmigian

Schell is accompanying Parmigian on his Coffee Connections tour this summer and fall to keep in touch with the community. smiled. The Defiance native earned her master’s degree in curriculum instruction. “There are managers of buildings and there are educational leaders … I’m an educational leader,” Schell said. “As a professional, you have to be reflective on best practices.” For now, Schell will still live at her Ballville Township home where her family is engrained in the community. Her husband works a guidance counselor at

Fremont Ross High School. Her son begins his junior year and her daughter heads off to Columbus this fall for her first year at The Ohio State University. It was, Schell admitted, the perfect time for her to make a change, with her family’s blessing of course. She figures the extra ride time home along Ohio 19 will provide that necessary decompression time – a time to reflect on the day’s activities and those ahead. Former B-C-S board president Jane

Friemark stopped to chat with the group. She had questions about the district’s income, when it hosted post-season football games, special music events and if the revenues covered expenses such as lights and staffing. While Friemark retired from the school board after 20 years of service, she still offers time to the district by serving on the curriculum committee. They talked of new testing guidelines, stricter federal regulations for student meals and, of course, about sports. “I hear we are playing St. Joe’s this year. We played them years ago. They were our nemesis,” Friemark chuckled. Parmigian and Schell moved on to a group of male coffee drinkers gathered at table at the back of the business. “Good morning, Guy,” one said as the two seated themselves. Schell also planned to accompany Parmigian and Coffman to the county fair. “We have a number of students involved in the livestock sale through 4-H and the FFA. They like to see us out there,” Parmigian said. The new principal’s hiring came on the heels of Parmigian promoting the previous principal, Keith Thorbahn, to an administrator’s position in the main board office. It is one of a number of administrative changes under way over the summer as the clock ticks down to the start of the 2014-15 school year. The district also recently hired Laramie Spurlock to replace middle school assistant principal Don Christie, who took a job at Perrysburg schools. And the search is nearly finished to find a new district director of information technology. Sherry Priesman recently resigned to join the North Coast Educational Service Center.

Veterinarian practice to expand By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A veterinarian practice in Lake Township is set to expand to a new location after the township trustees Tuesday gave their approval to a zoning change for property the practice will be moving to. The trustees unanimously approved an application from East Suburban Animal Clinic to rezone about 3 acres from an R-2 residential classification to a B-1 neighborhood business classification. The parcel is located at the southwest corner of Woodville and Pemberville roads. Dr. Gary Holfinger told the trustees the practice has outgrown the building located at 5032 Woodville Road and plans to build a larger facility on the property, which sits east of the current location. He said the new facility will be able to better accommodate the digital equipment the practice uses. The new building will be about 1,000 square feet larger than the current building, which is about 5,500 square feet. A house that sits on the property will be demolished and Dr. Holfinger said he expects construction to start in late August after a 30-day zoning appeal period ends. Construction should be complete by next

spring. No one contested the zoning change at the hearing Tuesday and the township zoning commission and Wood County planning commission have also approved the change. Dr. Holfinger said the practice has grown from one veterinarian when he started in 1981 to six veterinarians and staff of about 27. “This move is more to catch up to where medicine is now,” he said. “Everything these days is digital and we were limited with the original layout with just one exam room. We’ve been able to expand it to four but that makes clients wait. The building is beginning to show its age. We average between 90 and 100 clients a day.” The main entrance for the new facility will be off Woodville Road but there will also be access from Pemberville Road. The trustees also approved several purchases of equipment and services for the fire department: • A one-year contract for records management software with Emergency Reporting for $3,949. • Four desktop computers and monitors for $5,040 to replace older systems. • Six Motorola pagers from Bender Communications for $2,790.

Elmore honors Waters Last week, the “Buckeye Bus” rolled into Elmore with Elmore native Jon Waters (left), the Ohio State Marching Band Director and 1996 Woodmore graduate, 15 or so band members, cheerleaders, support staff and the incomparable “Brutus.” They were the guests of Peggy and Steve Avers owners of the “I Scream” ice cream parlor in Elmore. The town issued a proclamation honoring Waters and will place a sign at the main routes into Elmore declaring it “The Home of Jon Waters Ohio State Band Director”. After cooling off with ice cream, the band warmed everyone back up with traditional Buckeye tunes including “Hang on Sloopy” and “Le Regiment” as a 100 or so, led by Drum Major (above) and Brutus, and formed a very loose version of “Script Ohio”.

nspirational essage of the

eek: Don’t Put Your Trust in Things of this World

Young children seem to have the utmost trust in their parents. For instance, they know that whenever they are not feeling well, their parents are there to comfort them and do whatever is necessary to make them better. A parent's love is special, and it seems that there is nothing that they would not do for their children. As adults, we should remember that all things of this world are temporary and that there is nothing we can truly depend on or be absolutely sure of. A loved one passing away, or finances being low, or a serious illness could turn our world upside down in an instant. However, we should take heart; there is good news: we are God's children,

Elliston

and His love for us is even greater than that of our parents'. And although it takes enormous courage to put our complete trust in God, we must believe that He wants only what is good for us. What is required of us is to see God's work in everything we do, and develop perfect trust to accept the trials of his life. The first step in increasing our trust in God is to thank Him daily for His many blessings and to go to Him with our anxieties. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. N.I.V. Proverbs 3:5-6

The Press Poll

What is your favorite local band?

Do you feel compelled to give money to people holding signs along the road asking for money? No, I'm not sure they're legitimate. No, I'm afraid they will use it for drugs. Yes, I feel good about helping someone down on their luck. Yes, we could all end up like that. Mary Lewis Genoa "'Gin Bunny because two of the band members grew up right here is Genoa and because they play a good variety of music."

Forest Whitney Maumee "The Eight Fifteens, It's my son's band and they were voted one of Toledo's most popular bands this year by one of the local papers. They play at the Village Idiot a lot."

In the dark moments of life, look for the stars

Letters should be about 350 words. Deadline Wed. Noon. Send to news@presspublications.com

On a pitch black, clear moonless night, the sky is filled with twinkling stars. The stars appear brightest when the night is darkest. There can be occasions where a situation seems really bleak. Everything has gone wrong. You feel surrounded by darkness. Getting through these challenging times is a trying experience to say the least. It’s not easy in these circumstances, but finding some bit of brightness, no matter how small, offers some comfort. So when your situation looks the darkest, look for any glimmer of light. This isn’t easy and certainly won’t necessarily replace any negative emotions you are experiencing. But it is a better approach compared to remaining mired in misery. Look for anything good, no matter how small, to focus on. Although you can’t always control what events occur, you do have control over your response. This is the basis of a survival strategy. When in a hole, you have to begin climbing out, not digging it deeper. Speed is not the issue, your direction of travel is. It’s during tough times when you have to reach deep into your character for strength. You may not be able to make sense out of a situation. It might be unfair, but you must find a way to move forward. Regressing never works in your favor. Wallowing in self-pity keeps you in a hole or makes it deeper. As difficult as it may seem, the direction you must travel is up. Look for the stars shining in the darkness. When facing adversity, viewing issues from various perspectives offers different insights. Realizations can appear that were previously hidden. Small things you never paid attention to might now have more sig-

To the editor: I love Walbridge. I walk or bike or skate with my kids to Railway Park. Sometimes we play basketball or tennis; sometimes I am the troll under the bridge ” giving chase to those who cross. At Loop Park, we play football, launch rockets, or just fly kites. It would be nice to have the Shiver Shack back but we get our frozen treats from 7-11. The grill cleaner meal at The Skillet is my favorite way to start a big day and Vito’s makes a heck of a pizza pie. In the winter, when work runs late and the sun won’t wait, I love rolling into my sleepy town with her snowy quilt pulled up and Christmas lights softly glowing. My neighbors are all fantastic, hard working people and we are quick to lend each other a helping hand on home improvements, a brat off the grill, or a beer. Walbridge Fest does its best to keep community alive with classics like Rally by the Rails and new events like the 5K pool party at the Aqua last week. Halloween finds us at the fire station with doughnuts and cider and the parades pass right by our home. Sure, I would love to see more vibrant businesses and shops, an updated Loop Park, and a whole host of green space upgrades but I enjoy the small town lifestyle we do have. I don’t always agree with council members or the mayor, but that’s part of living here too. They know what I think because we communicate. They know that I would like the alleys, streets, and sidewalks smooth and straight. But I know that costs have gone up while tax revenue has remained relatively flat. I also know that it is not the government of the town, but the people of the town that have come together in its past to keep it “on the right track” and I am confident that Walbridge will continue to be what attracted me to her to begin with: a safe, family friendly place that isn’t too uptight to let go a little after a hard day’s work. What more could a family man want? Ryan Weaver Walbridge

nificance. Other issues you thought were really important could fade away as inconsequential. You will learn things about yourself. You will discover strengths and abilities you had been unaware of. You will realize things about other people as well. Their true character will be revealed. True friends are those who are there for you in a time of need. They are shining stars in your dark night. If taking things one day at a time is too overwhelming, break down time into smaller segments that are manageable. The size of the steps you take moving forward

are not important, your forward motion is. Positive action is another star. Don’t project negative feelings out into the future. The way you feel today doesn’t control how you will feel later. Draw upon happy memories and feelings. You are unique. Your emotions are your own. As well-meaning as other people might be, no one can tell you how you should feel, what you should do, or how long it should take. The people with the most possible insight are those who have been through similar situations. You can learn from their experiences. Take some time to understand your own emotions. Your feelings are what they are. Believing there is a right or wrong way to feel only adds to your stress level. Looking for bright spots does not mean you deny how you feel. Here are some questions to ask yourself: “What paths are available to me?” “Are there any new opportunities appearing?” “What can I learn?” “What should be my next step?” “How am I feeling?” “Why am I feeling the way I am?” Keep your mind open to finding the stars. Don’t waste any time making excuses for why you can’t. All that matters is why you can. It is during these dark times that it’s imperative for you to find as many bright spots as possible. Doing so will make a positive difference. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www. BryanGolden.com or your bookstore.

Genoa: Home of tufa, not tofu

Town offers $250 for someone who can pen town motto Genoa wants a motto. How about: Genoa: “From Broadway to the NHL, you can get there from here.â€? Genoa’s Bill Nolte is a Broadway actor who appeared in “Catsâ€? and Bryan Smolinski played 15 years in the National Hockey League. Got a better idea? Something that “reflects the image of the village and evokes a feeling of hometown pride and family values?â€? If so, the Genoa Area Chamber of Commerce will give you $250 if you can pen the best motto in its contest which runs through September. Many towns have mottoes, some positive, some negative. Cleveland, a revitalized city, will never escape its moniker “The Mistake on the Lake.â€? Bakersfield is known as “The Armpit of California.â€? Better to create your own motto than have one foisted upon your hometown. Here are suggestions from two websites: gorving.com and offices.net. Some utilize a twist on words such as: Hooker, Oklahoma: “It’s a location, not a vocation.â€? Or, Drumright, Oklahoma: “Town of oil repute.â€? Or, Gas, Kansas: “Don’t pass Gas, stop and enjoy it.â€? Other common mottoes start with Home of‌; Capital of‌; or The City of‌ Here are few: Algona, Iowa: “Home of the World’s Largest Cheetoâ€?; Farmington, Maine: “The Earmuff capital of the Worldâ€?; Dumas, Arkansas and Dumas,

Page Two

by John Szozda Texas: “Home of the Ding Dong Daddy� and Fruita, Colorado: “Home of Mike the Headless Chicken.� These slogans, while frivolous to some outsiders, were chosen officially or unofficially with a sense of community pride. For instance, the world’s largest Cheeto is housed in a bullet-proof case mounted on an orange and regal purple cushion. It’s bigger than a golf ball. Chester Greenwood, a 15-year-old boy from Farmington, Maine invented what he called the Greenwood Champion Ear Protector to protect his ears while ice skating during the brutal Maine winter. Three years later, in 1877, he was granted a patent and by the time he was 18 his factory was producing 30,000 muffs a year. Dumas, Arkansas and Dumas, Texas both claim the Ding Dong Daddy title, which originated from a song written in the late 1920s. The Arkansas Dumas holds an annual festival, while the Texas Dumas created a counterpart—The Ding Dong Dolly— and it uses both in logos and pins to promote the town.

Fruita, Colorado holds an annual festival to honor a chicken that despite having its head cut off by a local farmer in 1945 survived for 18 months. The axe missed the jugular vein and brain stem, and a clot sealed the wound. The farmer fed the chicken with an eyedropper, put it on public display and made some cash. Today, the town holds a festival in honor of Mike featuring a 5-K run-like-a-headless-chicken race. Some of better mottoes include: Peculiar, Missouri: “Where the odds are with you�; Superior, Wisconsin: “I’m a Superior Lover�; Leavenworth, Kansas: “How about doin’ some time in Leavenworth� and Glenndive, Montana: “Good People Surrounded by Badlands.� The best mottoes, however, stake a claim to an important economic asset. For instance, Port Clinton: “Walleye Capital of the World.� The city can back this claim up with hard evidence and that evidence has an appeal to fishermen all across the Midwest. Getting back to Genoa and that $250 prize. May one of these spark your imagination: From an 1881 town atlas: Genoa: “A handsome town with well-kept streets.� Paraphrasing from a poem written by Eva Johnson for the town’s centennial: Genoa: “Each year better than the past.� From another poem, this one written by Mrs. Glen Denison entitled “Life—Small

Town Style�: Genoa: “Friendliness everywhere, even in the air.� Here are four capitalizing on Genoa’s assets: First, Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto constructed with tufa, petrified vegetation coated with mineral deposits which came from the subterranean springs of the Blue Hole in Castalia: Genoa: “Home of tufa, not tofu.� Second, Packer Creek Pottery, a nationally-known pottery store: Genoa: “Capital of Majolica Pottery.� Or, third: The Genoa Privy, the only stand-alone public toilet on the National Register of Historic Places. It was built in the 1870s in the Romanesque Revival style. How about: Genoa: “Home of America’s most famous outhouse.� Fourth: The town is home to limestone quarries so: Genoa: “A fine lime.� A few others to stir your imagination: Genoa: “A family first village since 1868�; Genoa: “A family friendly village�; or here’s one in honor of the high school mascot: Genoa: “The heart of Comet Country.� Entries due Sept 30 before 4 p.m. For rules and entry forms go to www.genoachamber.com, see a chamber business or call Deb at 419-262-3476. There is also a $250 prize for the winning logo design for the chamber. Comment at zoz@presspublications.com.

What retirees can do about healthcare

Davis family donation

By Adam Cufr The most consistent topic of conversation among aspiring retirees has become healthcare. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) has made healthcare costs and availability a huge variable for people who haven’t reached 65, the qualifying age for Medicare. Employers and employees alike are playing a game of musical chairs, circling the chairs waiting for the music to stop... but it doesn’t. How do you plan a retirement when there are so many unknowns in healthcare? Reduce the variables. Like in a mathematical equation, too many unknowns create an unsolvable problem. In retirement planning, I have seen many people allow too many variables to prevent them from adequately addressing any particular concern. The result is a swirling storm of questions and partial answers. Your kids or grandkids might call it a hot mess. Here’s how you can reduce the variables: 1. Rather than guessing at the effect on your finances of an increased cost of healthcare during retirement, consider tracking spending for a month or two. Learn how much money truly is going out each month to maintain a chosen lifestyle. 2. Compare spending to known income sources like Social Security, pension, income available from the investment portfolio, etc. Once true lifestyle costs and income are known, you may discover that the situation isn’t as dire as you had assumed. In other words, you have reduced a variable (or two) by knowing the true income need. 3. Look closer at how an increase in health care cost will either delay retirement by a now-calculable period of time or maybe inspire delaying a major purchase like a new car or costly travel in order to afford the specific healthcare cost increase when it occurs. In other words, save and earmark money for the healthcare cost increase before it’s a problem. At the risk of sounding glib, simply transform unknowns into knowns. Reduce the variables by putting every account statement and benefit statement into one big pile and analyze it. Understand current portfolio risk, investing fees, income options, estate planning desires, Social Security benefits, pension choices, and match them with your retirement goals. A qualified retirement planner can help you tackle this project. The closer you can get to isolating health care costs as a single variable, the better the night’s sleep when news of Obamacare tempts you into madness.

Mid-life dating - not an “all-or-nothing” proposition

Counseling Corner The

When we think of dating, it’s usually teens and twenty-somethings that come to mind. But today, more people than ever over the age of 30 are finding themselves in the dating pool and facing new and different stresses related to dating later in life. Whether it’s career-based decisions to wait on marriage, or a divorce that has left one single, mid-life dating is now much more common. And it can be stressful if only because it may seem that there’s a lot more riding on it. At 20, we assume that there’s an almost endless world of relationship possibilities and opportunities. At 40, we realize that options are usually more limited. Dating at mid-life can also produce stress because it can easily upset an established life. You have a career, friends,

regular routines and activities that bring you comfort and, hopefully, joy. Then, suddenly, a new romantic interest is affecting a lot of those established things. Maintaining your normal life rather than turning it totally upside down for that someone new and special is one way to limit stress. When you cancel plans and scrap your regular schedule for this new person, you’re sending a message about how little you value things already in your life. Instead, rather than stressing over a scheduling conflict, just admit you’re not available and suggest another time that

works better. You also want don’t want to lose existing friends. A new relationship can carry the temptation to focus only on that person, but eventually that can leave you feeling guilty and anxious over how you’ve ignored, and possibly lost, old and trusted friends. A better approach is to respect your friendships and look for ways to integrate your new romantic interest into those friendships. Remind yourself, as you begin dating relationships as a mature person, that you already have a full life. A new romance shouldn’t force you to shut down your existing life and make building this new relationship your only focus. That’s a sure way to increase anxiety and to set yourself up for an emotional crash if things don’t work out. Instead, resist seeing dating as an “all-or-nothing” proposition and it will be

People Eagle Scout honors Colton Bryan Dawkins, a member of Boy Scout Troop #314, has earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank in scouting. The troop, under the direction of Scoutmaster Kiel Whitcum, is sponsored by the Elmore Kiwanis. Dawkins fulfilled Colton Dawkins the Eagle Scout requirements by earning 29 merit badges and holding various offices within the troop. He also completed a community service project which consisted of organizing the moving of an old structure to the other side of the football field at Woodmore High School to become the Spirit Shack. He organized the project to remodel the building exterior and created an Eagle wall on the outside to honor Woodmore Eagle Scouts. Dawkins, who will be a sophomore at Woodmore in the fall, is involved in bowling, weightlifting, track and field, drama club, marching and concert bands and OMEA competitions. He is the son of Duke and Erika Dawkins, of Gibsonburg; the grandson of Sherry Reamsnyder and the late Bryan Reamsnyder and Delmar and Cheri Dawkins, and great-grandson of Virgil and LouAnn Lawrence.

Fireworks fundraiser a success In late May, the Oak Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce kicked off a fundraising campaign for its Annual Independence Day Celebration, which included selling patriotic stars at several businesses throughout town. According to chamber Executive Director Valerie Winterfield, 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,� she said, adding the chamber received several donations from businesses and members of the community. Community Markets in Oak Harbor raised the most money, bringing in more than $1,200 in donations, with cashier Cathe Riffle selling the most stars.

Cage stars find Cavs experience memorable By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com At first glance, the Western Basin Toledo Cavaliers AAU basketball team did not make the greatest impression on Jeremy Pratt. Pratt, who will be a senior at Waite this fall, was recruited to play for the Cavaliers this spring by Genoa native Arnie Sutter, who has coached local AAU teams for 13 years. “When I first saw the guys I thought, ‘I’m not going to like this,’ but it was great,” said Pratt, a 5-foot-10 guard. “It was a great brotherhood. The friends you make in AAU ball, the memories ….” The Cavaliers competed in 17-and-under tournaments beginning in mid-March through the end of May. Sutter, 66, who has coached for more than 30 years, including a stint at Elmwood, was the Cavaliers’ head coach and was assisted by Richard Honner, who coached at Genoa in the late 1960s. “Coach Sutter is a great coach,” Pratt said. “He’s high intensity at times and he lets you play your game at times. He’s old school. (He wants) five passes before the shot. Playing AAU just showed me some of the things I need to get better at. We wanted to win, but I wanted to focus on things I needed to get better at, like shooting the deep ball and decision making.” The Cavaliers’ roster included high school players from Oak Harbor, Genoa, Woodmore, Waite, Rossford, St. John’s Jesuit, Northview, and Margaretta. They played in seven tournaments. The Cavaliers made the consolation finals in one tournament and also took fifth place, fourth, and third at other tournaments. “Our last tournament we made it to the last four and got beat,” Sutter said. “I think we were about .500. I keep good stats on kids and try to promote efficiency and what you do out there. We weren’t concerned about scoring averages and that stuff. I was more concerned about efficiency.” Sutter played high school ball at Genoa under Honner, who coached the Comets from 1966-68. Honner, 75, also coached at Owens Community College, at Start High School and in Sylvania. “I kept in contact with him ever since I graduated from high school (1966),” Sutter said. “Genoa was his first head coaching job, and we only lost three games his first year there. He was really close with the kids (this season) and had fun. You could tell he really enjoyed being an assistant, because he didn’t have too much responsibility other than keeping the kids motivated and teaching some defense.” Pratt said he and his teammates had a great rapport with Honner. “He’s a great guy,” Pratt said. “He liked to joke around and he always makes me

The Western Basin Toledo Cavaliers AAU basketball roster included upcoming Waite senior Jeremy Pratt. (File photo courtesy of Innovations Portrait Studio/ InnovationsVisualImpact. com) laugh. He’s old school. He knew a lot of stuff and offered a lot of information on every situation. He taught us how basketball relates to life.” The Cavaliers used Woodmore’s gymnasium to conduct practices. “They were generous,” Sutter said. “The athletic director (Steve Barr) and the school secretary (Angie Balduf) were just awesome. They were generous in allowing me to work around their schedules. I also have a great group of parents.” Local contingent contributes Pratt’s teammates included Noah Goodridge and Jordan Brennan of Genoa, Alec Young and Andre Ramsey of Oak Harbor, Drew Lewandowski of Woodmore, Oregon resident Kyle Blausey of St. John’s Jesuit and Nick Stowers of Rossford. Sutter said Pratt, who played both guard positions, “was our sixth man and really carried the load when we needed some scoring and tough defense. He’s a good leader.” The 6-4 Goodridge, who will be a senior at Genoa, was the Cavaliers’ leading scorer, rebounder and free throw shooter. Goodridge made three tournament all-star teams during the season. “Noah played for me two years ago and played pretty well, and I liked his attitude,” Sutter said. “He was pretty close to 10 rebounds and 10-12 points a game this year. He can shoot really well from the outside. He wants to be a coach and a teacher, and I like kids who have goals like that. He knows what he wants.”

Brennan, a senior, came off the bench for the Cavaliers and had a role as a defensive player. Lewandowski, a senior, was the team’s third-leading scorer. “Drew was probably one of the better shooters on the team,” said Sutter, who added that Young, a junior, became a valuable inside/outside contributor. “He came off the bench and was an excellent role player, inside and outside,” Sutter said. “He just developed throughout the year.” Ramsey was a “penetrate and kick” point guard who also played great defense, according to Sutter. “He was our starting point guard and one of our best defensive players,” the coach said. “He’s really a heady player. He was an extension of me on the floor. The better we got as a team, the better he got. You could always depend on Andre doing the right thing.” The 6-5 Blausey was the Cavaliers’ second leading rebounder and “a real key to our inside game,” Sutter said. “He was one of our starters and probably the most athletic player on the team,” Sutter said. “He needed a lot of refinement, to learn to slow down. He had a couple of real good tournaments. When he and Noah were playing well, we were tough to beat.” The Western Basin AAU team will conduct a shooting clinic on July 22-23 at the Eastern YMCA in Oregon sponsored by the Western Basin Toledo AAU and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Club wrestlers rebound to AllAmerican status By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com After opening the 2014 Disney Duals with a 54-13 loss to Dakota, which won an Illinois state championship last year, the Oregon Clay club wrestlers went on to earn All-American status. The OC Gold team finished second in their pool with a 6-1 record and moved on to the Gold Medal bracket. The Green team finished sixth in their pool with a 3-4 record, putting them in the consolation bracket. In the championship bracket, the Gold team first wrestled Fleming Island (Fla.), defeating them 38-24. Then, they lost big in the next round to Dakota, which went on to win the Disney tournament. The Gold team continued on in the consolation bracket and won their next two duals in a convincing fashion. Next, they came up against Westside (N.Y.), a team OC Gold had already beaten in pool play. This time, OC Gold was tied with Westside at the end of the dual. The dual was decided on criteria with Clay winning based on the fourth criteria, which was most pins. OC Gold then moved into the third place match against Perry Meridian (Ind.), which was the team that beat OC Gold last year for the Gold Medal. OC Gold beat Perry 39-22 to earn third place out of 46 teams from around the country, which was enough to qualify them AAU All-Americans. Matt Stencel continued his dominance, winning an individual Gold and the award for Most Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament. Also earning All-American status was Gold Medal winner Antonio Zapata, Silver Medal winners Nick Henneman, Rich Screptock, and Damian D’Emilio, Bronze Medal recipients Chad Burning, Jordan Weissinger, and Nick Daly and earning a Copper Medal were Evan True, Tyler Koester, and Jack Huffman. “This was another fine performance in the (OC wrestlers’) annual trek to the National AAU Disney Duals in Orlando, Florida,” Coach Troy McLaughlin said. OC Gold finished 12-2 in dual meets and OC Green was 5-7. Between the two teams they had 243 individual match victories, including 109 by pin.

JULY 21, 2014

Are multi-sport athletes becoming a thing of the past? If you were a standout athlete in one particular sport, would you want to stop playing other sports and focus on your one specific talent? That’s the question facing a lot of high school athletes these days. It’s reasonable why someone would want to focus on just one sport in the hopes of increasing their chances of receiving a scholarship to play the sport in college. If you are really considering narrowing your focus on one sport, you have to weigh the odds — and the percentage of high school athletes who receive college scholarships are not so good, and the percentages of those who eventually turn professional are far less. Plus, there are benefits that come with playing two or three sports in high school, for you and your school. Benefits could include not getting burnt out by playing one sport and having to focus on that year-round, playing different sports and gaining a bevy of enriching experiences, and working different parts of your body to help build a more wellrounded physique. Four area athletes, three of whom have scholarships to play sports in college, say there are pros and cons. Oak Harbor alumnus A.J. Cecil, who just completed his first year as a relief pitcher on the University of Findlay baseball team, says he benefited from playing football, basketball and baseball in high school. “(Playing multiple sports) helped me to be a better competitor,” Cecil said. “When you’re on the mound, it’s your will against the other guy’s. “It was great to play a different sport every season. It helps to develop rivalries with other schools and players. I knew that if we didn’t get (a certain school) in football that we might get them back in basketball. And I got to play sports with a bunch of my friends. I got to play two sports apiece with Mark (Konieczny) and Austin (Wiegand).” Cecil, a first-team All-Sandusky Bay Conference selection in baseball four times and an all-league performer in football and basketball, set two school records on the gridiron as a receiver. He credits playing three sports with helping him to stay in shape and improve his footwork. He does acknowledge, however, that there were times when he thought about the benefits that would come from him focusing more on baseball. But Cecil was able to stay on top of his game by playing American Legion baseball during the summer and attending showcases.

‘Bumps and bruises’ Genoa senior Logan Bryan, who earned a scholarship to compete next year for the track and field squad at the University of Kentucky, says there is a reason he chose not to play football during his senior year to focus more on throwing the shot put and discus. “The extra time in the (autumn) set me up to be in such a better place in the indoor season, because I don’t have to spend the extra time getting back,” Bryer said. “I’m constantly progressing and I don’t have any downtime and it’s an extra four months to get better. I can even get creative and work on extra stuff that you don’t have when (you’re playing football). I give a lot of credit to my success to the indoor season and to how much I worked in the summer and the fall.” Bryer focused on throwing under the direction of the University of Findlay

coach Justin Carvalho, but Bryer says he also avoided the wear and tear that comes with playing a rugged sport like football. “Football practice takes so much out of you,” said Bryer, who was second in the Division II state high school meet in the discus in 2012. “Constantly getting hit, bruising, you’re spending time having to recover, taking care of bumps and bruises. By not playing, you don’t have to worry about that stuff. And there’s the mental part of learning that takes so much out of you, too. “Now that I’ve gone through it and seeing the progression I’ve made, there’s no way I would go back and change things. I do miss some of the ‘friendships stuff’ and hanging out with your buddies. Being the No. 3 nationally-ranked weight thrower during indoor season was important,” Bryer said. Genoa senior Ciara Albright, who is

set to play basketball at Columbus State Community College next year, played softball and basketball for four years and competed in volleyball for two years as well. She said that she considered not playing softball this year to focus more on basketball. “I considered it because you don’t get better than everyone else in the season, you get better in the offseason,” Albright said. “I would have had a lot more time to focus and improve on (basketball). But I knew I would regret not playing softball my senior year.” She said that she understands why someone would choose to focus on one sport year-round. “I definitely understand because when you have a passion for that, all you want to do is get better and better every day at that one sport,” Albright said. “But it’s hard to quit something you’ve always done. Genoa always has a good reputation when it comes to sports, I feel as if it’s not just separate teams, were all a family.” Albright said that she played softball during the summer and would attend open gyms to shoot hoops. And during basketball season, she’d hit in the cage a little bit and try to shoot hoops occasionally during softball season. Cardinal Stritch Catholic senior Jake Empie, who played primarily basketball and baseball, decided to play soccer during his senior season. But it was football that he says he regrets not playing. “People would always ask me if I was going to play football, and now that I look back, I wish I would’ve played,” Empie said. “I think it would’ve helped me stay in shape more than soccer, so there’s that part in me that wishes I had played.” Empie also understands how playing one sport for 12 months per year can be a good thing. “I think that if you play one sport, it gives you that drive to win because you’re focusing on it so much and working hard to get better.” (Yaneek Smith is a freelance writer who graduated from Oak Harbor High School and Miami University.)

East Toledo native brings second national tourney here By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It’s another summer, and it’s another National Amateur Baseball Federation College World Series to be held in Toledo. Later this month, the NABF College World Series will take place in the Glass City, giving area residents the chance to see college baseball players from across the country compete against each other. There will also be the NABF Junior World Series for teams with kids 16 and under. The tournaments, which will be played at four sites, the University of Toledo’s Scott Park, Lourdes University’s Mercy Field, the City of Toledo’s Rich Arbinger Field at Bowman Park and St. Francis de Sales High School, features summer college teams from various parts of the country that qualify by winning their league title and a regional championship. Starting on Wednesday, the Junior World Series begins before concluding on Sunday. The wood-bat College World Series, which since it first arrived in Toledo in 2004, has seen the likes of Major Leaguers David Freese, a St. Louis Cardinals third baseman, Cincinnati Reds third baseman Tony Cingrani, and Perrysburg native

and Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Burke Badenhop also played in the tournament. This year’s College World Series starts play July 30 at the four pool play sites before finishing up on August 3 at Mercy Field. Freese played for a St. Louis summer college team that won an NABF CWS championship in 2003, and then for another St. Louis team that qualified when the event first came to Toledo in 2004. The 2003 team was followed by another St. Louis team, which Freese did not play for, that won it exactly 10 years later. A MLB World Series MVP with the St. Louis Cardinals when they won a world title, Freese attended the reunion for the 2003 team and also the celebration for the 2013 St. Louis Dodgers team that won it in Toledo. Cingrani played for the Illinois Jayhawks when that team qualified and played in Toledo. NABF board member and College Division Director Aaron Myers, an employee with the City of Toledo in the Parks, Recreation and Forestry division, is excited about what the teams have to offer again this year and what the area baseball fans can gain from watching them play. Myers says that there will be teams representing the Midwest and East Coast as well as Texas and Canada.

“I think coming out and seeing the various teams representing their states draws the avid baseball fan,” said Myers, who was recently named the head baseball coach at Sylvania Southview. “Those that aren’t really die hard baseball fans, they come, and they get a sense of good competition. And families can come because it’s something to enjoy with their kids. “I think something like this is good for the city and good for people in the area to watch a different brand of baseball. Sometimes the Southern teams are a little stronger because the season lasts long. The East Coast, there’s a different style, and it’s great to see the different culutures and to see how baseball is played in different parts of the country. And it’s another opportunity to put Toledo on the baseball map.” The tournaments also help to create a jolt for Toledo’s economy, an added bonus.

Series, which had been held in Northville, Michigan the past 30 years. “It’s definitely important because (the tournament) energizes the atmosphere and brings in different people and they see the things that we have to offer in Toledo,” Myers, 39, said. “We have COSI (the Imagination Station), the zoo, the casino, the Mud Hens. Toledo benefits greatly from this – the revenue, recognition and it brings entertainment on a cheap scale.” He was the head coach at Otsego for three years (2010-12) and went 42-30. He says learning from accomplished coaches has helped shape his baseball philosophy. “I give my dad a lot of credit,” said Myers, referring to a man who was very much involved in the travel-baseball circuit for a number of years. “I take a little from each of these coaches that I’ve been blessed to coach with. I’ve experienced so much with so many people, experiencing things with different coaches and kids.”

For Moyers, 50-year-old Camp Sabroske is family affair By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com

the four miles of trails…if you come out, please be sure to post what you see.”

For Doug Moyer, his wife Alicia and their four children, Camp Sabroske is a family affair. The camp, located at West Toussaint North Road off SR 19 near Oak Harbor, is over 50-years-old. Doug is executive director for Friends of Camp Sabroske, Inc., which was created by an association of six local churches. Doug and his family live on site and take care of the 112-acre property, located on the Toussaint River and Packer Creek near Magee Marsh Wildlife Refuge, less than two miles from the shores of Lake Erie and three miles from public boat ramps. In 1961, Fremont business owner Elam Sabroske donated the property to the United Methodist Church. The Methodist Church owned Camp Sabroske until 1991. “They were going to disband, and basically the churches around here said, ‘Hey, we want to keep it going,’” Doug said. “Let us create our own (federally licensed nonprofit corporation), so basically we did. That’s the way we’ve been running since ’91, and basically we have youth camps out here every year, and we have churches that come in and rent the entire camp for their church camps.” Development continues The camp rents out two “rustic” cabins which sleep five to six people, a public campground, an in-ground pool that is open to the public, and horse riding trails. A $45 family membership allows for use of the pool, pond, and camping, and nonchurch based organizations are welcome to reserve facilities for group events, such as corporate retreats or family reunions. Camping is open to the public. Camp Sabroske has 31 recreational vehicle spaces

From left to right are Denna, Doug, Zac, Alicia, Eli, and Caileigh Moyer at Camp Sabroske, located at West Toussaint North Road off SR 19. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) with electricity and water, a dormitory and unlimited tent space. “The big thing is people think it is a private campground, and we are open to the public,” Doug said. “We sell pool passes, we have a beautiful trail, and it’s a place where you’d just want to pitch a tent and camp.” Besides swimming, the camp has many areas for recreation including basketball, baseball, volleyball, tennis, hiking, a shelter house for group events, and two ponds for fishing or paddle boating. The outdoor chapel, a meeting room with a kitchen, and even the whole camp is available for rent. However, that’s not the end of the association’s development plans. Moyer says Friends of Sabroske, a member of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, is looking for funds to build a new lodge, construct an 11,000 square foot indoor horse riding

arena, and build more cabins. Doug says groups are coming from as far as Detroit, Cleveland, and Indiana, but during the Biggest Week in American Birding, hosted by the Black Swamp Bird Observatory, the camp had visitors from all 50 states and around the world. The Moyer family had posted this on Facebook, “Beginning of a great day of birding here at Camp Sabroske! On her way out to feed the horses, (Doug’s daughter) Caileigh spotted a Nashville Warbler, Blue-Winged Warbler, Cape May Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Yellow-Rumped Warbler, Black and White Warbler, Blackthroated Green Warbler, Bay Breasted Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler, Palm Warbler, Yellow Warbler, and a Common Yellow Throat Warbler. If she saw all of these on the lane, I wonder what one might find on

Family that works together… For Doug and Alicia, who were raised in Elmore and attended Woodmore High School, Camp Sabroske is their life. “For my family and I, this is our job. We’re here all the time,” Doug said. “We all work there. We all do pretty much everything in the campground, and we all pitch in.” After high school, Doug attended ministry school and then helped at a church in southern Ohio before coming back to Ottawa County. Doug, who is not an ordained minister, and Alicia have been married 20 years. They have spent a combined 10 years at Camp Sabroske, but this is their second stint. Alicia is in charge of bookkeeping and administrative paperwork. Seventeen-yearold Caileigh, who has a background in western pleasure riding since age 10, works with the horses. The horseback trail riding is new at the camp this year. Another daughter, Denna, 16, and Caileigh take care of the horses at Moyer Riding Stable and Farms, a corporation that the Friends of Sabroske board of directors allowed the Moyer family to establish at their own risk. The corporation leases the horses, which are on site, to the camp. Doug says his son Elijah, 12, does manure pickup on trails and the youngest son, Zac, 11, helps with mowing and landscaping. Doug added that additional volunteers are always welcome. “We’re definitely in need of volunteers for clearing trails and doing stuff,” Doug said. “We have two young kids right now who are working through an Ottawa County program who are helping us. That’s really great because the county pays them and then they work for us, so there is no cost involved for us, which is pretty nice.”

Anime fans coming to the Glass City By Christopher Selmek Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com

Voice actor Amber Lee Connor will sign autographs at Toledo's anime convention.

GlassCityCon, Toledo’s own Japanese animation convention, continues for its fourth year July 26 and 27 at the SeaGate Convention Centre. More than 2,000 anime fans, cosplayers and gamers are expected for this year’s event, which will feature autograph signings by voice actors Amber Lee Connor, Jessica Calvello, Todd Haberkorn and others, along with musicians, dance troupes and comedians. Attendees are invited to dress up as their favorite anime character and enter the cosplay contest, participate in the videogame tournament or attend panel discussions where special guests discuss their favorite anime films. Convention organizer Chris Zasada is expanding the programing for this, the first year that GlassCityCon is independently run. Previously, Zasada had run three annual conventions as a staff member of Owens Community College, but searched for a different venue this year where he

could support more vendors, panels and events. Zasada, who lives in Oregon, is also the founder of Otakutopia, a DVD-selling business which travels to anime conventions throughout the United States. Based on his experience visiting conventions in Chicago, New York, Kentucky and elsewhere, he has tried to make Toledo’s convention the ultimate experience for any fan. “Anime has been popular for a long time because it’s something you don’t find in America,” he said. “Now we’re drawing a certain crowd into the heart of downtown Toledo to invest in our economy who might not have thought about coming here otherwise, so I expect this convention will be a success for a lot of people. “If you’re into anime or gaming or cosplay, you’ll find a lot of people there with common interests,” he said. “Then you can drop by the vendor room and pick up some cool stuff, and just have a good time.” GlassCityCon hours are 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $30 at the door. For more information, visit www.glasscitycon.com.
