Troopers seize 907 lbs. of marijuana By Press Staff Writer Marijuana with an estimated street value of more than $4.1 million and $13,908 in cash were seized after two related traffic stops Thursday morning by the Ohio State Highway Patrol on the Ohio Turnpike. According to the highway patrol, 907 pounds of marijuana were seized and six men face felony charges after the stop in Lake Township. A trooper observed a rented 2104 Subaru Outback, with Massachusetts registration, following too closely to a motor home that was also following a vehicle too closely. The trooper attempted to stop both vehicles at 9:04 a.m. but was only able to stop the Subaru at milepost 71 and detected an odor of raw marijuana coming from the vehicle and observed marijuana on the driver’s pants. A search of the vehicle revealed $9,720 in bundled cash. Troopers were able to determine the occupants of the Subaru and motor home were traveling together and located the mo-

Oregon city officials used a meeting Wednesday with local businesses to update them on a major planned upgrade of Navarre Avenue, including right-of-way acquisition off Wheeling Street for an access road designed to relieve traffic congestion along the Wheeling/Navarre intersection. Paul Roman, the city’s service director, told those attending the informal meeting the city is being awarded a grant through the Ohio Department of Transportation of up to $2.4 million for the project, which has an estimated cost of $2.7 million. City officials plan to meet with businesses located at the northeast corner of the intersection to discuss the proposed access road, which would be located north of the intersection and proceed east from Wheeling to the Freeway Plaza. Roman said motorists trying to get to an apartment complex, two fast-food restaurants, and businesses at the plaza from Wheeling or from Navarre west of the intersection would have better access by using the proposed road. A left-hand turn from a congested Navarre – the daily average traffic count is 30,000 vehicles - to the businesses is a rare feat, he said. What’s more there were 369 accidents, including 131 serious enough to cause injuries, during a recent three-year stretch on Navarre. “I think a service road is warranted now,” Roman said, adding ODOT planners agreed when the city made its application for the grant. “I think it is needed and is justified.” One option would be for the city to acquire an existing private drive off Wheeling and extend it to the plaza parking lot, he said. Mayor Mike Seferian said the access road is a “top priority” of the upgrade, which would also include installing more marked U-turn areas on Navarre and other improvements. The city administration is encouraging businesses along Navarre to offer input on the project, the mayor said. Mike Beazley, city administrator, said

Pot bust Continued from front page tor home about a half-hour later at a turnpike service plaza. A search of that vehicle revealed the marijuana and $4,188 in cash. Frankie Junior Layz, 22, who was driving the Subaru and his passenger, William Luciano, Jr., 33, both of Rochester, New York, and those in the motor home, Justine T. Gould, 27, of Rochester, Jimmy Pross, Jr., 35, of Charlotte, North Carolina, and Jose M. Manzanares, 36, Houston, Texas, were incarcerated in the Wood County jail. They’ve been charged with possession of marijuana and trafficking, both second degree felonies, money laundering, a thirddegree felony, and possession of criminal tools, a fifth-degree felony. One suspect who was in the motor home fled with his 7-year-old son. The highway patrol described him as a known drug dealer in the Rochester area and said he plans to turn himself in to authorities.

Richard Joseph, Jr. at 3010 Navarre where a Foodtown store had been located may become the site of a sporting goods store. The Josephs confirmed they’ve been in negotiations with Dunham’s Sports on a lease for the vacated building. Improvements to the façade and an adjacent complex will be completed whether or not Dunham’s moves into the building, they said. Mayor Seferian said a drug store chain is
also looking at several sites along Navarre. The city is also inviting businesses to comment on possible changes to its zoning code. The mayor said changes may be made to the code to reflect advances in building materials and the city’s regulations on building sizes. Businesses are also being asked for their input on banners across Navarre to announce special events and on beautification projects.

The county fair
Pigs aren’t flying, but they are racing By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com County fairs offer something different for everyone. Square dancing, the demolition derby, the horse races and the tractor pull, among other things — like pigs racing, believe it or not. With each passing year, something new is added to the mix in the hope that it will entice more people to attend the Ottawa County Fair, a local tradition that is celebrating its 49th year. This year, the pot-bellied pig races gave the week-long festival a new twist. Under the direction of Ed and Pam Chase of Lake City, Florida, the four pigs, whose names range from Justin Tenderloin to Dale Earnhog to Hamma Montana, engage in a competition that features them running around a track twice before “swimming” across a 12-foot long pool that is two feet in depth. Sorry — there is no betting on these races. These racing pigs have a pretty good lifestyle, for a pig. They spend their time in an air-conditioned trailer when they’re not racing, are treated to some animal crackers at the finish line of each race and also eat fresh fruit and vegetables as part of their diet. “It’s all a bunch of good, clean family fun,” Pam said. “I tell dry jokes, we play music, and we get the crowd involved and have a lot of fun. We really love what we do.” But it may be another pig, Lucy Lynn, that draws the most attention. The 19-month old miniature pot-belly pig, who weighs just 13 pounds, has a wardrobe that includes sweaters, dresses, tutus, hats and other clothing and accessories. At the fair, she performs tricks similar to that of a dog, like sitting, standing on her back feet, turning in a circle, to entertain the crowd. Pam notes that the facilities are constructed and maintained by Ed, 56. “We use a 60 by 70 foot area with a track, trailer, the barrier and the pool without the crowd,” Pam said. “It’s pretty big. I couldn’t believe he built all this. It’s really beautiful.” Pam notes that they’ve performed in a number of states throughout the Midwest and the South, including Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, New York, Iowa, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and of course, Florida. “We call it a working vacation,” Pam, 55, said. “We get to travel and see everybody.” Recently, the Chases have performed shows at Disney World and in downtown Miami, a sign that their business, which is in its fifth year, is growing. The couple’s website, www.chasesracingpigs.com, has pictures and provides a review of what each show entails.

One of the world’s best chainsaw carvers, Pennsylvania native Dennis Beach, showcasing his talents at the Ottawa County Fair. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) Chainsaw carvers a hit — again Another event that always draws interest to the fair every year is the chainsaw carvings. They are sculpted in front of an audience and then sold at auction following the show. Considered one of the world’s best, Dennis Beach, showcased his talents at the fair. His website, www.dennisbeachcarvings.com, features photos and a video showcasing his work. Beach, a Wapwallopen, Pennsylvania native, has been carving for 28 years, a skill he learned when he started to work as a tree trimmer. The affable Beach travels the world showcasing his talents, having been to the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Germany and Austria. Most recently, he competed at the World Championships in Germany, winning the silver medal. And
in 2009, he won the gold medal for his efforts. “It’s very satisfying,” he said. “I like it very much. It’s really hard work, but it’s rewarding. I get to travel all over the world and go to different competitions in different countries. “In the summertime, I do the fairs; I carve right up on the stage. It’s nice meeting the fans — I do go out and try talking with people. I spend so much of my time getting ready to carve, carving and then doing the finishing touches. I like doing the county fairs — it’s hard work and they’re six days long. On the seventh day, I pack up and then I drive to the next fair. On the seventh day, God rested, but I don’t,” he says with a laugh. “It’s a lot of running. I’ve got a little camper that I connect to my truck and I travel around.”
Butterfly Count Saturday July 27th Butterflies are not only beautiful; scientists now recognize that they can also serve as one important indicator of the health of ecosystems.

The Andersons closes, so let the pet store wars begin By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Three local retailers say the closing of The Andersons store at the Woodville Mall has led to a spike in their pet food and supply sales. These pet wars are not resulting in fierce rivalries leading to antagonistic promotions against competitors, but locallyowned Pet Finatics, Condos And Trees, and Gladieux Home Center are working with customers to pick up the slack. Michael Stewart, the former owner of Kitty Condo, has passed the business on to his daughter Jennifer Stewart, now owner of the businesses’ third incarnation called Condos And Trees. Mike, who remains involved, says business is up 20 to 30 percent since the closing. “We had to increase inventory bigtime,” Michael said. “Basically, we had them all — it’s just the flavors. Everybody had a different flavor, and oh, my gosh, it would take a building twice this size to carry all the brands and all the flavors.” That doesn’t mean they endorsed the closing. When it happened, all three businesses had to respond. “Andersons’ departure from Northwood has been difficult for many of us. We enjoyed walking into The Andersons with the smell from the fresh baked goods and all of their great quality products,” owner
Jennifer Stewart said. “Condos And Trees started business making high quality cat furniture. Since the departure of The Andersons we have expanded,” Jennifer continued. “Condos and Trees now carries quality food, toys, and supplies for all pets. “Condos and Trees did not expand and get ready for Andersons’ departure alone. The customers and community have helped us tremendously. Customers came into Condos and Trees looking for food and toys that they had brought previously for their pets at The Andersons. Getting customers’ input is greatly appreciated and has helped us understand their products, pass on information to other customers, and knowledge of what to stock in our store.” Bad economy, pets still fed Condos And Trees, located at 4211 Woodville Road, Northwood, and Pet Finatics, which has a 5,500 square foot store at 3150 Navarre Ave., Suite A. in front of the Oregon Holiday Inn, competes in this retail sector with the big box stores, regional and national chains. What Jennifer Stewart said about listening to customer feedback went across the board with Pet Finatics and Gladieux Home Store owners. “(We) are pleased to welcome The Andersons customers as well,” said Pet Finatics co-owner David Grosjean II. “Through determination, dedication, and a love for
what we do, Pet Finatics has become a success while facing challenges like a down economy.” Since opening in July of 2009, Pet Finatics has grown from two to eight employees. Grosjean and co-owner Tracy Kamelesky, are seeing new customers, but they cannot identify how much Pet Finatics’ business has picked up since The Andersons’ closing. “It’s tough to say. I assumed, to be honest, from the get-go we had more business than The Andersons,” Grosjean said. “We picked up a couple extra lines because of it, but we already had the majority of the stuff. Business is excellent. The store is very lucky to have such loyal customers.” “The thing that makes us three quite different from any of the other pet supply competitors in the area is most of the foods we carry are a much higher quality,” Grosjean claims. “We have a vaster array of products and are more pet-supply specific. “Our customers are what makes us specific and make us able to do what we love. It’s incredibly important, and we listen to the customers 100 percent and if they want something we don’t have we go out of our way to find it for them. It doesn’t matter if it is a small item or a large item. We do whatever we possibly can to make the customer happy.” Gladieux Home Store, 5120 Navarre Ave., Oregon, began expanding to a full 1,500 square foot pet food and supply de-
partment two-and-a-half years ago. Coowner Ron Gladieux says the department’s expansion is continuing. “Even when the economy is bad, people are still going to feed their pets,” Gladieux said. “They are like their kids, you know. “It’s been growing ever since. We have a full range of premium quality foods now. I think most people are looking to feed their pets a little better quality than the grocery store brands and that kind of thing. I think it’s the whole adage of quality products and service and we have people who are knowledgeable in the products so people can come and get good advice, too.” The local store owners are involved in the community as well. Pet Finatics was chosen as a finalist for this year’s Prism Awards by the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce. Pet Finatics donates regularly to the Pet Bull Project, Save-A-Pet and Humane Ohio as well as other local charities. The business provides supplies as well as food for the K-9 police dogs for both the City of Oregon and Lake Township and participates in the ACHIEVE Juvenile Diversion program and Athletes in Action. Jennifer Stewart has been involved in all three incarnations of her family’s kitty condo and pet business. Then Kitty Condos, the firm made the national news during Bill Clinton’s presidency when it made a replica of the White House for Socks, the Clinton’s cat.

Close to 100 pay homage to youth organizer Dunn By Jeffrey D. Norwalk Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Cars with license plates reading Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio crunched into the parking lot of Genoa’s Lou Thomas Memorial Field on July 6 as 80 to 100 souls gathered. No, they didn’t brave an ominous forecast to take in another showdown between two of the Genoa Little League Association’s U12 house teams. They were paying homage to former GLLA president, coach, and friend Craig Dunn, who passed away March 6 at Hospice of Northwest Ohio after a battle with stage 4 lung cancer. Diamond No. 4 was fittingly named after him four months later. “The entire ceremony was just very touching, and a great tribute to a great, great leader who cared so much about Genoa Little League baseball, and the kids of our community. It was a tribute that was more than well-deserved,” offers current GLLA president Lee Nissen. Dunn could always be seen up at the park or proudly wearing his ever-present Genoa baseball cap, tooling around in “Old Blue,” his trusty, heavy-duty pickup truck. The tribute included a proclamation by Mayor Mark Williams; speeches by Village Administrator Kevin Gladden, Veteran’s Park Director Mike Thomas and various Dunn family members; as well as sign postings, a myriad of photographs, tears and hugs. “I knew Craig for a long, long time before he passed, and I think he was just a fun-loving guy who just loved the kids of this community,” continues Nissen, “and it didn’t matter if a kid was a great ballplayer or not, Craig will always be remembered for loving them all. Whether they were kids he personally coached, or kids he didn’t. Craig always went way out of his way to make sure all the kids enjoyed themselves and had fun up here at the baseball field. I think that’s where he was at home — right here on the baseball field with our kids. Mike Thomas, the son of Lou Thomas, played little league ball there during his youth. “There’s no doubt Craig was always there for you, whether you needed him to be or not, and to the point that he would go out of his way to help anyone, and I truly think that’s what people will miss the most about him — his big, big heart. “I had known Craig somewhere between 14 to 16 years, and working alongside him closely while he was the president
Coach Craig Dunn, long time Genoa Little League Association president, talking strategy with his little league baseball’s team infield. (Photo courtesy of Karen Dunn) of the GLLA, I can honestly tell you that I learned he always strived to do as much as he possibly could for this organization,” reflects Thomas. “It was like Craig just always knew what our kids needed, and then he made sure he found a way to give it to them. “One of those things, of course, would be the building of the new concession stand that we have, which has gone on to serve a great number of people up at the park during the baseball season, and which, I think, just adds to the whole GLL experience,” he continues. “He sponsored tournaments as we still do now, but they always seemed to bring in more outside teams. It seemed like everybody, from all over, would come. I mean, I’ve seen so many good people lead the GLLA over the years, and they’ve all had the same goal in mind — to make it the
best league they possibly could for the kids of our community. And Craig was one of those great leaders, but he was also just a great friend. A great friend to everyone. A great friend who was always smiling, and just having a good time up at the park. You could just tell he loved being there. And his voice, his face, his smile — they’re sure missed up there today.” Serving as the GLLA president from the early ‘90s to about 2000, Dunn brought the AABC Willie Mays state tournament to Genoa in 1998 and hosted it until 2002. During his tenure, he helped bring a brand-new, double-tier concession stand and press box to the park, designing the structure, nailing it together with a little help from his friends, and then went on to manage concessions. Along with Mike Parlette, Dunn coached the Genoa Indians, a team which
won the league a number of times and made it to state one year. At one time or another, all three of his sons, Brian Huston and Matthew and Andrew Dunn played for the Indians. To his eldest son Brian, 34, of Philadelphia, and a 1997 graduate of Genoa High School, he gave a sense of never forgetting where you came from. “He was that ‘Simple Kind of Man’ that Lynyrd Skynyrd sings of,” Brian, a mortgage loan officer, said. “I didn’t appreciate it enough growing up, but there is so much to be said of his simple, consistent lifestyle. “I always aspired for money and success, and thought the simple life in Genoa was lame, but now that I’m a father and a little wiser, I know that the important things in life are your time and relationships with family, friends, and loved ones. Craig didn’t aspire to be a CEO, but he spent time, and built memories, and loved in a way that other men of ‘success’ could only dream of.” To Matthew, better known around Genoa as “Dewey,” 30, now a supervisor for an environmental company in Charleston, W.Va., Dad gave a sense of urgency to embrace each new day. To youngest son Andrew, aka “Rudy,” 26, of Media, Pa, an ’05 graduate of GHS, he gave the skills it would take to succeed in his chosen profession. In 57 years, “Coach” Craig married the love of his life in wife of 33 years Karen (Brown); fathered four children, including daughter Angie (Bradfield), 36, of Genoa, a former Comet basketball player who is now a stay-at-home mom with six children. “The dedication was amazing,” said Karen Dunn, “So many people turned out, the signs were awesome, the town crew had the field in great shape, even with the rain, and Mike Thomas and Kevin Gladden did a wonderful job with the program and dedication. My family and I were overwhelmed. The Genoa community has shown so much love and support for Craig and our family. We can’t express our gratitude and what it meant to us enough. “But Craig loved GLL right back,” shares Karen. “He loved his players. Our family spent most of our summers up at the ballpark playing ball, working the concession stand, umpiring. Craig was just very devoted to GLL and was so well-loved. He had so many visitors over the last couple of months. Because of Craig, I experienced so much. We both agreed that our 33 years together were way too short, but we probably had experienced more than couples who have shared 50 together.”
Village of Genoa putting park levy on the fall ballot By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press Park maintenance will be up for debate when Genoa voters go to the polls this fall. Village Council agreed Monday to put a 0.75-mill renewal park levy on the November ballot, Village Administrator Kevin Gladden said. The millage, combined with a 1.3-mill levy renewed last year, provides money to care for the village park system, centrally focused on Veterans Park. The 0.75-mill levy brings in about
$23,000 annually. The other levy generates another $40,000 a year that goes towards items such as regular maintenance, quarry upgrades, supplies and park employee salaries. There had been talk of combining the two levies years ago but that never happened, Gladden said. The administrator doesn’t foresee a problem with the levy’s passage at this point. Last year’s levy passed by several hundred votes, he said. A master plan discussed about five years ago considered park upgrades amounting to about $5.5 million. That plan, how-

ever, was shelved as the recession gripped the area. A slow recovery is still not enough to get anyone’s hopes high for a new park levy. “We didn’t think it had a chance of passing,” Gladden said. In other news, Mayor Mark Williams railed again residents who continue to blow grass into the village streets while mowing lawns. Grass accumulates in the storm sewer system and impedes water flow, Gladden said. “With the big rains we’ve had,” the administrator explained, “the streets filled
up and the water wasn’t going down as fast (because of the blockages.)” Rain bursts fell across the county nearly every day of the first three weeks of summer, beginning June 21. “The grass eventually works its way out but it takes time,” he added. As for the big storm that pummeled Northwest Ohio last week, Gladden said village hardware suffered some substantial damage. Lightning took out the motor control center for the wastewater treatment ponds and damaged a lift station on Fourth Street. Estimates are being gathered for the repairs, he said.

Obituary Marian R. Moorman 8/16/1934 ~ 7/13/2013
Marion R. Moorman 78, passed away peacefully on the morning of Saturday, July 13, 2013, at her daughter's home in Walbridge, Ohio after an extended illness. She was born Aug. 16, 1934, in Middle Point, the fifth and youngest daughter of the late J. Herbert and Bernice (Ringwald) Davies. She graduated from Ridge High School, and was employed over the years at Central Mutual, Van Wert County Hospital, Visiting Nurses, and Eaton Corp. She grew up in, and was a member of, the Middle Point United Presbyterian Church, and later the First Presbyterian Church of Van Wert. She was very active in both churches as Sunday School and VBS teacher, children's choir director, and youth group leader. As a great-granddaughter of Welsh immigrants, she loved music and singing, and enjoyed the Gymanfa Ganu each year. Her life was devoted to lovingly caring for her family, and helping those around her in any way she could. She spent a lot of time in volunteer activities, and immensely enjoyed reading and swimming laps at the YW and YM. She will be remembered for her laugh, sense of humor, work ethic, and selfless, caring attitude. She is survived by her four children, Linda (Mark) Hartman, Jay Moorman, and Julie (Danny) Doner of Van Wert, and Kimberly (Terry) Mull of Walbridge. She is also survived by four grandchildren, Drew (Courtney) and Evan Doner, andAlyssa and Amy Hartman, as well as a great-grandson, Jericho Doner. Also surviving are two sisters, Mary Louise Voltz of Frankfort, Indiana, and Shirley Harter of Van Wert. She was preceded in death by two sisters, Phyllis Wuttke and Lois Jean Davies. Services were handled by AlspachGearhart Funeral Home & Creamatory, Van Wert, OH. Private fami ly graveside services will be held at a later time at Ridge Cemetery, Middle Point, OH.

Twp. prepares for noxious weeds
Davis-Besse tax
A case pending before the Ottawa County board of revision has officials in the Benton-Carroll-Salem School District facing the possibility of losing a major revenue source. FirstEnergy has filed an appeal with the board of revision to have the valuation of property at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station lowered by about $22 million. Jennifer Young, a spokesperson for FirstEnergy, said the company decided to appeal the valuation after the county completed its property reassessment in 2012. She said some buildings and structures at the power station outside Oak Harbor should be listed as tax exempt. “This (appeal) is based on several buildings and structures that are certified as exempt pollution control facilities by the Ohio Tax Commissioner still listed on the tax roll,” she said. In addition, the valuations on administrative buildings at the station are higher than values placed on office buildings in downtown Cleveland and Columbus, she said. “Our hope is to work with the auditor, school board and board of revision to determine a resolution to this matter in a timely, fair fashion,” Young said. Tim Coffman, B-C-S treasurer, said a reduction of $22 million in valuation would translate into a revenue loss of about $210,000 a year for the district. It would take an increase of about 1.1 mills in property taxes to recoup that loss. The school board filed a counter complaint in May with the board of revision, he said. A hearing date hasn’t been set. As of May 31, revenues in the B-C-S were running about 2.8 percent higher than budgeted and expenses were about 1.2 percent lower, Coffman writes in the district’s newsletter. Real estate taxes account for about half of the district’s total revenue. Receiving property tax revenue from Davis-Besse presents other challenges to the B-C-S board and administration. While the plant re-fuels, its value increases. But it drops when the fuel is spent. “This occurs on a three-year cycle and causes an approximate $300,000 change in (tax) collections during this time,” Coffman said. A 3.9-mill levy to fund district operations expires at the end of this year. It generates about $1.2 million annually.
JULY 22, 2013
The Lake Township trustees heard a first reading Tuesday of a nuisance abatement policy – a measure intended to address complaints voiced recently by residents about noxious weeds and similar issues. The policy adopts sections of the Ohio Revised Code pertaining to nuisance abatement and establishes a process to notify property owners and offer them time to correct the problem before taking legal action. Melanie Bowen, chairperson of the board of trustees, called the policy a “work in progress” that will likely undergo a few changes before being formally adopted. The policy calls for the township zoning inspector or administrator to photograph the property in question and mail a notice to the property owner. If the problem isn’t addressed, the zoning inspector or administrator is to contact the Wood County prosecutor’s office and the township solicitor who will mail a second notice to the property owner. The photos and other evidence will be presented to the trustees if the problem isn’t corrected after the second notice and the board will decide whether or not to start legal proceedings. Costs incurred by the township can be placed on the tax duplicate for the property. Richard Welling, a trustee, said the township already has policies covering junk vehicles and excessive noise.

Waite graduate now wearing an army general’s star By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com
“
...when I grew up and went to Waite, I never would have pictured this as my future.
“
Dennis Doyle sometimes has to pinch himself. Doyle, a 1975 Waite graduate who has risen through the ranks to the level of brigadier general in the United States Army, and his wife, Lisa, have lived in Germany and now reside in Honolulu. How good is life right now for the Doyles? They recently took a pleasure cruise around the Hawaiian islands. “It really has been a great adventure for Lisa and me,� Doyle said of his more than three decades in the military. “We’ve had three assignments in Germany and lived all around the United States. To serve here in Hawaii — when I grew up and went to Waite, I never would have pictured this as my future. It really is an incredible opportunity.� Doyle, 55, and his wife celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary with a cruise around the islands. “We live in Honolulu and departed from here to Maui,� he said. “We went around the big island of Hawaii and then to Kauai. So far my favorite is Kauai, which is very laid back. All of them are different and have different things to see.� Doyle is the Commanding General at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu. He has been based there since November 2012. “We were in Fort Bliss, Texas (in El Paso), at the command center there,� Doyle said. “This is the only tertiary care referral center in the Pacific. Anyone needing specialty care would come to Tripler, in addition to providing care to the servicemen and their families on the island.� Doyle was nominated to become a one-star (brigadier) general by President Obama in April 2011. Doyle said a military board meets with Army officials to pick just the kind of promotion Doyle received. The names are then given to the Secretary of Defense and then to the president, and the U.S. Senate has to confirm the nominations. “I still find it incredible, when I look down seeing a (general’s) star,� Doyle said. “It is an awesome experience and an incredible honor to be able to serve at this level. When I came into the (military) I thought maybe I would serve 20 years in the service, and that came and went. Now it’s 31 years and it has been a wonderful opportunity to serve our nation and our soldiers. It’s hard to express what it means to wear the cloth of the nation and the flag of the U.S. on your shoulder, and you’re protecting the freedoms and the rights of all our people.�
Brigadier General Dennis Doyle, wife Lisa and son Devin at Fort Bliss, Texas. Doyle played on the tennis team and was student council president as a senior at Waite. After high school he graduated from the University of Toledo in 1979 before earning a masters degree in science from Eastern Michigan University in 1981. Doyle joined the army and attended officer candidate school in Fort Benning, Ga., where he was commissioned in 1982 as a second lieutenant. His father, Harry Doyle, was a World War II veteran as a member of the Army Air Corps. The elder Doyle served as a gunner and crew chief on B-17 airplanes. “That’s one of the things that account-

ed for me wanting to serve, just hearing his peer group talking,� Doyle said. “Not that they were trying to make it sound heroic, just the things they had seen and done in World War II. That’s where I got this sense of service and honor to the nation, from my father.� Doyle served as commander of the 30th Medical Command headquartered in Heidelberg, Germany, from 2009-11. His first tour of Germany was in 1985, and he served there again from 1998-2002. “I studied German at Waite and was a member of the German Club, and we visited Germany in 1972,� Doyle said. “I enjoyed
visiting Germany and meeting the people. I took a couple years of German in college, and I used to be fairly fluent.� Doyle’s position as a regional medical commander and a U.S. Pacific surgeon also led him to Japan and Korea, in March. He said he has flown more than 100,000 miles since being promoted to brigadier general. Doyle has also twice been deployed to Iraq as a member of the 30th Medical Command, and he also has served in Afghanistan. He admitted it took some time to get used to being called “General Doyle.� “It’s acceptable to refer to a higher ranking officer as ‘sir’ or ‘ma’am,’ regardless if they are a general officer,� Doyle said. “When someone makes a statement like, ‘Let’s ask the general,’ I’m like, “they’re going to ask me!’ It does give you cause to pause. It’s been a year and a half now, but it’s still a very humbling experience. I don’t feel any different. I have a lot more gray hair than when I was a second lieutenant.� Doyle and his wife have a son, Devin, 28, who is a freelance videographer living in Hollywood, Calif. Doyle said his family had to get used to packing up and moving to a different state or country in practically a moment’s notice. “There have been a number of times we’ve made short-notice moves,� he said. “There have been a couple times when I wasn’t even home and Lisa ended up having to tend to the move by herself. She’s done all that with great patience and aplomb.� Doyle said he appreciates being stationed in Honolulu, but he also realizes there’s a chance this might not be his final stop. “I will have time until my projected retirement, in 2014 at the earliest with the potential to stay until 2015,� Doyle said. “There is potential where I could be transferred. I couldn’t think of a place that we’d ask to go. It’s a matter of, when does the army need me and when do I need to be there, and that’s where I need to go.�

Workplace Gladieux celebrates 75th with a 75-second dash for tools, etc One lucky customer will have 75 seconds to race through Gladieux Do It Best Home Center, fill a cart full of home improvement products and tools and walk away with it when the Gladieux family celebrates 75 years in business Saturday, Aug. 3. Ron Gladieux, Jr., said the company was founded in 1938 near the end of The Great Depression. Herbert and Leo Gladieux formed a partnership, one had a dump truck, the other had $50. Together they started delivering coal under the name Gladieux Coal Company. At the time, gas cost 10 cents a gallon and the average house cost $3,900. With the demise of coal as a home heating fuel in the 1960s, the company evolved into a building materials supplier under the direction of Ron (Sr.) and Dan Gladieux, second generation owners. The two built a state-of-the-art 58,000 square-foot complex at the current location, 5120 Navarre. They also developed a number of neighborhoods including Oak Tree Run and Park Place. Today, the business is owned by Ron Jr. and Brandon Ziegelhofer, a 15-year employee. It employs 25. Gladieux supplies homeowners and contractors with cabinets, countertops, hardware, lumber, landscape supplies, paint, rental tools and windows. Gladieux also has one of the largest working model train layouts in the Midwest. Most recently the company has added a complete interior design service and a pet foods and supplies department. Contest rules for the 75-second dash through the store can be picked up at the store or online at www.gladieux homecenter.com. The event will also include pet adoptions, free hot dogs and soft drinks, face painting and a bounce house for the kids, Milwaukee Power Tool specials and a Memphis Wood Fire Grill demonstration.

Pastors throughout the city of Oregon and across denominational lines are stepping up to help Lucas County Children Services (LCCS) recruit families to become foster parents. On behalf of the entire group, New Harvest Christian Church is holding a community open house on July 30 at 7 p.m. to share information about the need for, and qualifications to become, licensed foster parents. The entire community is welcome, and light refreshments will be served. New Harvest is located at 3540 Seaman Rd., Oregon. “Many foster and foster-to-adopt families have found that support from their faith community has helped them succeed as foster parents, and we appreciate the willingness of New Harvest Christian Church and the other Oregon congregations for stepping up to encourage families to support children in our community,” said Dean Sparks, LCCS executive director. “When LCCS came to us and explained that there was a shortage of foster homes, particularly for babies and young children, we knew that this was a cause that could bring together people of different faiths. The Oregon area churches are ready to help prospective families in any way possible to help them become licensed to care for children in need,” said Pastor Sharon McQueary of New Harvest Christian Church. The open house is scheduled so that interested families can sign up for the free foster care and adoption training classes that run Tuesday and Thursday evenings Sept. 10 through Oct. 17 from 6-9 p.m. or Saturdays Oct. 12 through Nov. 16 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at LCCS, 705 Adams Street in downtown Toledo.

When faced with challenges look within yourself Life is easy when all is on track and working as expected. The challenge is when you encounter bumps in the road, complete detours, or get stuck. When facing difficulties, there are many forces attempting to erode your attitude. Throwing your arms up in despair is an automatic response that takes no effort. You may be tempted to blame other people or circumstances for your predicament. This is known as having a victim mentality. Perhaps you even consider giving up as an option. Regardless of what challenges you are facing, you are the answer. Look within yourself for solutions. You already possess whatever is needed to deal with your situation. Becoming frustrated, bitter, angry, or resentful works against you. Things are what they are. The critical decision you must make is determining your next step. Unfortunately, we are conditioned to place blame for problems or look to others to fix our problems. Following this path causes you to become mired in your problems. If this is your normal reaction to obstacles, you need to retrain yourself to
Dare to Live
by Bryan Golden become self-reliant. The first step in this process is recognizing there is a solution for every problem. Regardless of what you are facing, other people have dealt with the same issue successfully. However, there are also many examples of those who have been unsuccessful. Your objective is to look only at successful people for inspiration. This takes determination on your part as you will be offered reasons from many others as to why you will fail. These naysayers provide a litany of examples showing others who have failed. Looking to negative people for advice assures your failure as well. You won’t find a solution if you don’t believe one exists. In order to discover a solution, you must believe one does exist
and that you will be able to find it. Discovering a solution is not dependent on education, money, or intelligence. It is based on a positive attitude and determination. Next, recognize that you do have the ability to find the solution. For guidance, only look to those who have successfully solved similar problems. Ignore advice from people who have been unsuccessful. Although they may be well meaning, they can’t provide any useful suggestions. There are usually many courses of action available for overcoming an obstacle. How do you know which is the best one for you? By knowing yourself. Since you are the answer, you have to know who you are. To accomplish this, you need to answer some questions. What are your goals? What are you trying to accomplish? What do you like? What do you dislike? What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Once you have answered these questions, list all possible resolutions for your situation. Don’t evaluate them, just write them down. Next, rank them in order of
preference. Any solution is possible with commitment and determination. Once you have determined the appropriate solution, you have your answer. Now you are ready to take action. Without action, nothing happens. You may know what to do, but until you do it, nothing changes. In order to implement your solution, you may need additional knowledge, expertise, or experience. You can either acquire it yourself or get it from someone else who has what you need. Whatever challenges you face, always remember that you are the answer. Your attitude should always be “I can” and “I will.” Take control of your life and choose the path that fits you best. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

A snappy innovation in nutrition assistance program Guest Editorial
By Nehemiah Rolle
“
Organizers hope to expand to nearly 80 markets within the next three years.
“
The Farm Bill’s recent defeat in the House of Representatives opens up a second chance to get food policy right — including the food aid we give struggling individuals and families. A Michigan and Ohio program could provide some inspiration. The legislation would have cut $20.5 billion from SNAP, the nutrition assistance program commonly known as food stamps. That turned many would-be Farm Bill supporters into bitter opponents. Representative Dan Kildee (D-MI) had hoped to improve the SNAP program for both aid recipients and farmers. His amendment would have extended the reach of Michigan’s successful Double Up Food Bucks program, which stretches food stamp dollars and helps small-scale farmers at the same time. Here’s how it works. Michiganders on food stamps use their SNAP cards at participating locations. What they spend is matched with Double Up Food Bucks that

can be used to purchase up to $20 worth of locally grown fruits and vegetables. That’s a big help to SNAP recipients, who typically run through 90 percent of their monthly benefit within the first half of the month. The Fair Food Network started Double Up at five farmers’ markets in Detroit in 2009 with a $1 million grant from The Kellogg Foundation. The program has since grown to about 50 farmers’ markets throughout Michigan — and expanded to Toledo, O. Organizers hope to expand to nearly 80 markets within the next three years. Since the program started, 81 percent of SNAP recipients surveyed said they have bought more fruits and vegetables, and 80 percent of the farmers who have participated report earning higher profits. Three supermarkets in Detroit that have agreed to stock locally grown produce eligible for Double Up purchases will participate in the program this summer. As it scales up, the effort is nearing the limits of what it can do without federal support. Kildee’s amendment would have ap-
propriated $5 million per year to help other states launch similar programs. More than 47 million people receive SNAP benefits nationally, but there are around another 12 million people who are eligible for SNAP benefits who aren’t getting them. Meeting their needs with healthy food, while channeling more business to local farmers, should be a bipartisan goal. Instead, House Republicans chose a path that is morally corrupt and would make life harder for starving people and the hard-working farmers who would benefit from feeding them. The result was too toxic to muster a House majority. Now that the House has to concoct a new Farm Bill, we should all urge our lawmakers to include approaches like the Double Up Food Bucks program that reflect our best values and make economic sense.

A black man and an Indian voted in this 1806 election A member of the famed Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery may have been the first black man to cast a vote in America, long before blacks won the right to vote with the 1869 passage of the Fifteenth Amendment. The year was 1806 and members of the expedition had to choose a site to build winter quarters near Astoria, Oregon. The black man’s name was York. He was William Clark’s slave, but he had proven himself more than three-fifths of a man during this three-year discovery of the unchartered American west so he was granted the right to vote. Sacagawea, the Shoshone Indian who led the party through the Bitterroot Mountains, was also allowed to vote. Ironically, women, even those who meant so much to our country’s history, would not be granted the right to vote in a federal election until 1920. Marvin Jefferson, a New Jersey educator and actor, shared these stories at the Ohio Chautauqua held last week in Rossford. Jefferson portrayed York in a one-man show delivered on a sparse stage. His performance was riveting, his monolog infused with emotion, intelligence and bravado. York, we come to learn, became a trusted and valuable member of the 29-man team which ventured into the unknown. So much so he was entrusted with a rifle, although it was illegal for a slave to handle a gun. He also proved to be an emissary among the Indians who had never seen a black man. They called him “Big Medicine.” The Corps of Discovery was championed by President Thomas Jefferson following the Louisiana Purchase. Lewis and Clark were commissioned to explore the unchartered west, document the flora and fauna and locate the mythical Northwest Passage, a water route to the Pacific. Americans soon followed in their footsteps and settled the west. After the expedition returned to civilization, York lived at Clark’s Kentucky plantation where he hoped to rekindle his marriage to a woman who lived on a neighboring plantation. However, when York’s wife was sold and shipped to Mississippi, York asked for his freedom to follow her, or,

Marvin Jefferson as York (Photo courtesy of Alan Thompson) at worst, to be sold to a neighboring plantation owner. Clark refused. When Clark took a job in St. Louis and took York with him, York’s hope to be reunited with his wife died. The refusal and York’s change in attitude bred animosity between the two. Clark would claim York was becoming uppity and he beat him to show him his place. Eventually, Clark freed his slave, but it wasn’t until some 10 years later. Al Thompson, a retired history teacher, and Tim Kreps, another retired teacher, are local re-enactors. Thompson portrays Clark, Kreps portrays Lewis. Following

Marvin Jefferson’s portrayal, Thompson said of his Clark, “I didn’t know I was such a jerk.” Thompson, who had compiled an extensive unit on the expedition while a teacher, bicycled the 3,800-mile Lewis and Clark trail in 2005 documenting various points of interest for his reenactment presentations. While Thompson gained added insight into York’s character at the Chautauqua, hundreds of other visitors to Rossford were also treated to a glimpse of Ohio history as seen through the eyes of four other individuals: Margaret Blennerhassett, a woman
at the center of the so-called “Burr Conspiracy” involving vice president Aaron Burr; Chief John Logan, an American Indian who was a proponent of peace with the white man until his family was murdered; John Chapman, the frontier preacher known as Johnny Appleseed, and Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, the hero who defeated the British fleet on Lake Erie during the War of 1812. Each actor portraying these historical figures presented a monolog about the character’s personal life on the Ohio frontier, then answered audience questions. The Ohio Chautauqua was presented by the Ohio Humanities Council and was entitled “When Ohio was the Western Frontier.” The Rossford Convention and Visitors Bureau deserves credit for bringing the program to Northwest Ohio. The fiveday event also included workshops and musical performances including one by Oregon’s Choraliers. We are in a unique period of refection for Northwest Ohio history. We are commemorating the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 in which the Battle of Lake Erie turned the tide in our country’s favor and the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. The first Medal of Honor recipients, members of Andrews Raiders, were from Northwest Ohio. Local historical societies and museums will host a number of programs this year and through 2015. These re-enactors can bring history alive for you and your children.

Seniors’ animal pals get helping hand By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to the Suburban Press news@presspublications.com Animal companions of area seniors are filling up their tummies with goodies provided through grant monies in Ottawa County. Senior Resources recently finished its first round of pet food distribution for this year, said Diane Mortensen, executive coordinator for Senior Resources located in Oak Harbor. A $1,500 pet food grant secured from Banfield Charitable Trust funds the project. This is the fourth year the county has received such a grant. Senior Resources provides dinners to area seniors via its Meals on Wheels program. Over the years, drivers talking to residents found the seniors weren’t eating all their food in order to feed their pets. That’s when Mortensen decided to look for some way to help the elderly companions. “We are seeing more and more need among these individuals,” Mortensen said. “For a lot of seniors that are homebound,
Mortensen keeping a pet happy
their pets are their life.” The amount of the grants has increased over the years. The first sum was about $500. Senior Resources staff talked to seniors regarding pet needs as they served their 180 to 200 daily meals from one end of the county to the other. Then staff put together a shopping list and headed to Community Market in Port Clinton to stock up. The grant money pays for meal packages for mostly cats and dogs as well as for bags of biscuits loaded onto the meal delivery trucks for drivers to hand out. “Keeping the pets happy really helps with meal delivery. Some of these pets can be really protective,” Mortensen noted. The grant funds must be used by May 31, 2014. Mortensen said there will be another pet food delivery in the first half of 2014. Only grant money is used for the pet meals, Mortensen emphasized. Early on, there had been confusion that money from the Senior Resources levy was used to cover the costs. “No Senior Resources money whatsoever is used for this program,” Mortensen said.
Use it or lose it – keep your mind on the move When it comes to how the mind ages, research is increasingly giving new meaning to the popular phrase “use it or lose it.” So what are today’s seniors doing to keep mentally fit? Many have said goodbye to traditional games such as bingo. They’re gravitating more to video-game technology and group activities such as Scrabble® and bridge tournaments. According to research, it all helps. Researchers in a study published in “Psychological Medicine” from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, found that individuals with high brain reserve—which looks at the roles of education, occupational complexity, and mentally stimulating pursuits in preventing cognitive decline—have a 46-percent decreased risk of dementia than those with low brain reserve. The study found that it is, in fact, a case of “use it or lose it,” and pointed out that even a late-life surge in mental activity can stave off the effects of this terrible disease. What causes the kind of brain drain that seniors must try to thwart? From a scientific standpoint, multiple factors apparently contribute to a sluggish senior mind, said Dr. Ronald Petersen, director of the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. In his words, “There is often a genetic component, but the environment plays a role as well. The cumulative impacts of medical issues such as vascular changes like hardening of the arteries also contribute to dementia.” He also pointed out that, “The connections between the nerve cells probably also don’t work as well.” On the other hand, Petersen observes, the wisdom and acquired experience seniors bring to the table is often under-valued in our society. That’s why exercising
the mind as well as the body is such an important goal for older adults. He said there are no hard –and-fast rules about what senior mind activities are the best in warding off the effects of aging. “Whether it’s a computer game, crossword or Sudoku puzzles, or reading and analyzing a newspaper or magazine, first and foremost seniors should like what they’re doing,” Petersen said. “If the senior does not enjoy the activity, then it is not as likely to be beneficial.” Tips for mind-stimulating fun The following tips from Home Instead Senior Care offer ways to help seniors engage in mind-stimulating activities: • Video action. Interactive video games have become popular for family members of all ages. • Computer savvy not needed. Even seniors who are intimidated by the computer still can play online and other computer games like Solitaire or joining an online bridge game? • Organize game night. Board or card games offer a great avenue for mind stimulation. • The magic of music. Many seniors
were avid musicians in their earlier years and some may still have pianos or instruments in their homes. • Tournament fun. Bridge and Scrabble tournaments for seniors are popular. Check with your local senior center or Home Instead Senior Care office to learn of any activities in your area. Or encourage your older adult to join a local bridge group. • Think big. Crossword, large-piece jigsaw and Sudoku puzzles are great pastimes for those who need a mind-stimulating activity when they are alone. • Out and about. Most communities have concerts, lectures and other pursuits that can interest seniors and their families. • In the news. Many seniors maintain their interest in politics and current events. For their next birthday, renew a subscription to a newspaper or popular news magazine. Or organize a news discussion group or a book group. • Companionship Counts. Companionship is an important part of stimulating seniors’ minds. If your senior has no one to spend time with, consider hiring a companion.

Possible link exists between hearing loss and dementia By Rebecca Krukemyer, Au.D. Many people are aware that their hearing has deteriorated but are reluctant to seek help. Perhaps they don’t want to acknowledge the problem, are embarrassed by what they see as a weakness, or believe that they can “get byâ€? without using hearing aids. And, unfortunately, too many people wait years before getting treatment. The psycho-social issues associated with hearing loss have been known for decades. In 1999, the National Council on the Aging published the results of a study that showed the effects of untreated hearing loss. Specifically the study linked untreated hearing loss to • irritability, negativism and anger; • fatigue, tension, stress and depression; • avoidance or withdrawal from social
situations; • social rejection and loneliness; • reduced alertness and increased risk to personal safety; • impaired memory and ability to learn new tasks; • reduced job performance and earning power; • diminished psychological and overall health. Now a study by John Hopkins University School of Medicine and National Institute on Aging suggests that seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. “Researchers have looked at what affects hearing loss, but few have looked at how hearing loss affects cognitive brain function,â€? says study leader Frank Lin, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor in
the Division of Otology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The researchers found that study participants with hearing loss at the beginning of the study were significantly more likely to develop dementia by the end. Compared with volunteers with normal hearing, those with mild, moderate and severe hearing loss had twofold, threefold and fivefold, respectively, the risk of developing dementia over time. The more hearing loss they had, the higher their likelihood of developing dementia. Even after the researchers took into account other factors that are associated with risk of dementia, including diabetes, high blood pressure, age, sex and race, the study found that hearing loss and dementia were still strongly connected. It is important to point out that the reason for the link between the two
conditions is unknown. The investigators suggest that a common pathology may underlie both or that the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more vulnerable to dementia. They also speculate that hearing loss could lead to dementia by making individuals more socially isolated, a known risk factor for dementia and other cognitive disorders. Whatever the cause, the scientists report may offer a starting point for interventions — even as simple as hearing aids — that could delay or prevent dementia by improving patients’ hearing.

She also plans to compete in the 2013 Summer National Senior Games, which will be held in Cleveland later this summer. Senior Olympics began in 1979 in Ohio.

“March For Meals” recognized
PrimeTime Briefs America has recognized Ottawa County Senior Resources’ “March For Meals” campaign. “March For Meals” is an annual campaign designed to raise awareness and generate community support around the importance of a nutritious meal and social connection to keeping homebound and hungry seniors more healthy and independent in their own homes. This year, the Meals On Wheels Association singled out 199 programs’ campaigns for their success. The Ottawa County Home Delivered Meals Program received the Silver Award for $650 for its efforts to engage county seniors and a local business in the fight to end senior hunger. During “March For Meals,” seniors from each of the county’s six senior centers collected items to fill a reusable grocery bag containing such items as paper towels, hand soap, toothpaste, facial tissues and other basic necessities that homebound seniors are often unable to get without assistance. The gift bags were delivered to each of the nearly 200 home-delivered meal clients along with their daily hot meal. The project was based on an idea from Danbury Senior Center site manager, Paula Shenkel. Walker Funeral Homes also helped with a monetary donation for the project.

Weather can take a big toll on seniors According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), heat is the number-one weather-related killer in the United States. On average, excessive heat claims more lives each year than tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and lightning combined (www.noaawatch.gov/themes/heat.php). “The elderly are often the most vulnerable to severe heat,” said Scott Rozanski, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving families in the Greater Toledo area. “Their bodies do not adjust as well as young people to sudden changes in temperature, they are more likely to have a chronic medical condition that changes normal body responses to heat, and they are often on a prescription medicine that impairs the body’s ability to regulate its temperature or that inhibits perspiration,” he continued. If you are a senior or caring for an elderly individual, the following tips from Home Instead Senior Care will help them combat the heat: • Keep a glass of water in every room to quickly and easily access fluids. Drink plenty of fluids, even if you don’t feel
thirsty. • Go through the closet and remove all heavy materials, long sleeves and dark colors. Store them until fall. • Set fashion trends. Look for short sleeves, lightweight rayons or cottons, and light-colored clothing that reflect the heat. • Stay out of the sun during the hottest times of the day. Fill up your bird feeder in the morning and water the lawn at night. Sunburn makes the job of heat dissipation that much more difficult. • Put down that broom. Save household chores, particularly washing and drying clothes and operating the dishwasher, for evenings, when the weather is cooler. • Take a nap during high heat times – between 3 and 5 p.m. in the afternoon, for instance – or find a good television program or movie to watch. • While you’re napping or enjoying a movie, keep shades down and blinds pulled. Keeping a house tightly closed is more energy efficient. • Invite your friends over for a cool beverage. Replace coffee breaks with iced tea or lemonade breaks in an air-condi-

tioned spot – not the patio. Staying in an air-conditioned dwelling during hot days is safer. • Go on a shopping spree. If you don’t have an air conditioner, or if yours is broken, spend the afternoon at the mall. You can shop or just enjoy cool drinks and a good book. • Put away that meat loaf recipe for the summer and track down new recipes for fruit and vegetable salads. Foods like proteins that increase metabolic heat production also increase water loss. • If increased use of a central air conditioning system causes higher utility bills that are a problem for your budget, consider purchasing a fan or small window unit that can cool down a home at a lower cost. In fact, window fans provide an effective way to exhaust the day’s hot air during the night. For more information about the heat, visit the National Weather Service website at www. noaa.gov and the Federal Emergency Management Agency at www.fema.gov.

If you’re a Cleveland Indians’ fan, you’ve got to see this By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com
Traveling the country While his “museum” is about 33 percent Cleveland, there is memorabilia from sports franchises across the country, including Detroit. The displays are beyond what you would usually consider sports memorabilia. “I’ve got every type of (drinking) glass you can think of — shot glasses, (Cleveland) Indians’ glasses, mug glass — it’s just unbelievable,” Fuller said. Much of his collection is from spring training, which he attends every year. “I had the first two seats next to the (Cleveland) dugout when I go to spring training, so these people come up to me

“
My wife loved to travel, and every time we went on vacation, she couldn't believe the Indians were in town...
“
Most Cleveland Indians fans breathing air today have been waiting their entire lives for a World Series championship that has not come yet. Oregon resident Tom Fuller would like it to be this year, when the pressure is off and everyone is expecting the Detroit Tigers, with over double the payroll, to be the team. Fuller was born in 1952 — four years after the last time the Indians won a World Series. “There is something going on. They swept the White Sox a couple weeks ago,” Fuller said. “The last time they did that they won the 1948 World championship.” One of the reasons he’s an Indians fan — first impressions. He admits that is probably true for a lot of people. “My grandfather took us to our first game (at Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium), and it was Ball Day, and I’ve still got the ball somewhere. But when you see that big Chief Wahoo outside, it’s impressive. I’ve been drawing Chief Wahoo’s face since I was in seventh grade.” Either way, he’s a fan of the Tigers or Indians in the playoffs, and a baseball museum located at his home is proof. Insured for $40,000, there is so much “stuff” Fuller is running out of room. It isn’t all stuff that he picked up — much of it is donated by other fans. He even has baseball memorabilia picked up from a trip to Japan. It extends to his refrigerator, where there are bottles of Bertman’s Original Hot Dog Mustard, which is sold at all Cleveland Indians home games. “It is Sports Illustrated’s No. 1 hot dog mustard in all sports. Their assortment is the best. I got tons of this in spring training and at Jacob’s (now Progressive) Field,” Fuller said. There are nearly 600 bobbleheads from various sports venues across the country. “The Yankees are one of the most popular in the world. This is one of my all-time favorites — a Billy Martin one — you look at his face there is a lot of detail,” Fuller said, pointing to the Martin doll. His Bob Hope bobblehead is only licensed to be sold in Cleveland and Los Angeles. The collection includes long time Detroit broadcaster Ernie Harwell, other celebrities, each of the presidents who race at a Washington Nationals baseball game, and players, coaches and mascots from college and professional sports. Fuller says rare bobbleheads kept in his home are worth $300 to $400. One of his oldest is a Chief Wahoo bobblehead dating back to 1965.
and they sign everything for me,” Fuller said. During the season, he’s traveling all over the country. Last week, he went to Target Field in Minneapolis to pick up bobbleheads of Minnesota Twins all-stars Justin Moreau and Joe Mauer. He’s been to every stadium in the American League’s East Division, most stadiums in the Central, and 12 National League parks. In 1974, he attended the largest opening day crowd ever up to that point as 74,420 people watched Gaylord Perry and Mickey Lolich pitch in freezing cold. Cleveland defeated Detroit, 3-2, on a Chris Chambliss first inning home run. “I go to (Cleveland’s) opening day, and I”ve gone to every game at Yankee Stadium for the last 12 years. I’ve probably seen more Indians games at Yankee Stadium than I’ve probably seen at (Progressive) Field, except the year my wife passed away,” Fuller said. He has a sign made from a photo his brother, Dan Fuller, a former Northwood softball coach, took at Yankee Stadium after Cleveland had just defeated New York, 8-7. “We went to an old-timers game, which is like a religion in Yankee Stadium,” Full-

er said. “They just beat the Yankees 8-7, so I had this thing made up — ‘Having your picture taken in front of Yankee Stadium after a Tribe victory — priceless. Winning on Old Timer’s Day — quiet.’”
But New York is not his favorite place to attend a baseball game, nor is Cleveland. “Of all the parks I’ve been to, Wrigley Field is the most fun — the whole community there, they call it ‘Wrigleyville.’ Whether they win or lose, the party is unbelievable. The most beautiful park other than (Progressive) is PNC in Pittsburgh. That is the most breathtaking park you will ever see. “My wife loved to travel, and every time we went on vacation, she couldn’t believe the Indians were in town, except for when we went to Aruba,” Fuller continued. When he goes to Detroit, he likes to remind Tiger fans that manager Jim Leyland grew up a Cleveland Indians fan. While a faculty member at Cardinal Stritch High School, Fuller taught across the hall from Father Tom Leyland, the manager’s brother. He wonders how it affected Jim Leyland when, as manager of the Florida Marlins, he led the team to a World Series victory over the Indians. One of his proudest pieces is a letter written to Fuller from 1970s Cleveland owner Vernon Stouffer and an article about it from the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Another is a letter he wrote to a hall of famer, which received a touching response. “I sent a letter when Herb Score was dying, and usually they send this card to all people who want an autograph,” Fuller said. “Well, I sent a bunch of his baseball cards and a letter and his wife was so touched, she sent me a color picture (of Score alongside fellow hall of fame pitcher Bob Feller), and both are signed by each one of them, and it’s a very rare picture.” There are autographed bats and close to 100 baseballs, mostly from legendary Cleveland players, some hall of famers. The autographs include Rocky Calovito, Sandy Alomar, Jim “Mudcat” Grant, Johnny Damon, Jason Giambi, plus current manager Terry Francona and General Manager Mark Shapiro. All the autographs were signed in Fuller’s presence, and he has a photo of himself with the signer to go alongside each. Other autographs include the former commissioner of baseball Fay Vincent and former Toledo sports announcer Frank Gilhooley, signed within a few days before his death. Fuller’s collection includes a line-up card signed and posted by New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi from when they opened the new Yankee Stadium. Of course, there is more. But even Fuller’s baseball days are something to talk about. Fuller graduated from Stritch in 1970, started the junior varsity baseball program in 1975 and became varsity coach in 1978. He took his Stritch pitching staff to the Indians winter clinic in 1977 and 1978, hosted by Cleveland pitchers. It paid off. In 1979, Stritch defeated Rossford 3-2 in the Class AA district final and reached the regional tournament for the first time in school history. Fuller was named Ohio’s Class AA Coach of the Year and coached in the Ohio prep all-state game at Ohio State University. The year before, his 2-5 Stritch team went to Oregon’s John Ousky Field to play an 11-0 Clay team, and the Cardinals used two first inning suicide bunts to give the Eagles their only loss of the season. The following year, 1979, Clay went undefeated and won the Class AAA state championship.

Harness racing driver dreads Raceway Park’s demise By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com
Harness racing driver Mark Headworth and his horse are leading the field. liked it here and I just stayed here. I won my first race in 1989. I drove a little bit before that, at fairs and stuff. I started driving all the time in 1989. We used to be at the tracks where they had dorm rooms you could stay in. I didn’t have to make a lot to stay going, but raising horses has really gotten expensive in the last 5-6 years.” Headworth pays the bills by training horses for other people, including Emil Konesky of Pemberville. He also works with Emil’s brother, Eddie, in Woodville. “Emil and I will go down to a sale and buy yearlings and start from zero,” Headworth said. “Other horses, we claim them at the track and they are seven, eight, nine years old when you start training them. Emil likes to go to the fairs and race the young trotters. I’ve had horses with him for 12-15 years.” Pemberville native Mick Foster, who drove horses competitively from 19912004, met Headworth at the race track in the mid-1980s. Foster, who was also an owner and part owner of 6-8 horses in his
heyday, called Headworth “a hard-working son of a gun.” “That’s all he’s ever done,” Foster said. “He was brought up in it. He’s just a genuine good guy and he’s a very successful trainer. Of late he’s gotten some decent horses, sires stake horses, to train and drive, and that’s good to see. He’s always gone about it in a day-to-day, this-ismy-life-type racing, instead of trying to go to the big time and go to the bigger races. “The neat thing with Mark is, anytime he’s been given an opportunity, when Northfied Park (near Cleveland) was at the height of its success, he went over there and raced with all the big dogs. He raced right with all of them.” While Headworth said he’s had enough success as a trainer to make ends meet, he added that he “can’t say I’ve gotten rich, by any means.” He said it was a huge blow when he learned that Penn National Gaming, which owns Raceway Park and the Hollywood Casino downtown, will shut down in Toledo in mid-September and move the track’s operations to Dayton.
“
I basically bought this place in Oregon with the intention of racing at Raceway Park. I’m not happy.
“
Some people are destined to do certain things, and Oregon resident Mark Headworth is a prime example. Headworth, 43, has been a horse trainer and owner ever since he graduated from high school in Lebanon, Ohio. “My grandfather (Angus Lake) and some of my uncles raised horses, so I’ve been around it my whole life,” Headworth said. “My uncle raced at Lebanon Raceway and I helped him out. They raised horses and I was around them a lot.” Headworth and his wife, Kristy, own land in Oregon they bought in 2004 that features a half-mile harness racing track. They own and train horses for themselves and for other owners, and their son Connor, 7, helps around the stables, too. “Counting the ones I own, we have 15 horses at home here,” Headworth said. “Sometimes we have more, sometimes less.” Raising and training race horses is not for everyone. It consists of long days and lots of patience. “Usually I come out around 7 or 7:30 in the morning and feed, and we do the water buckets,” Headworth said. “Then we start jogging the horses and training. Then we go out and jog on the track and then my wife cleans the stalls. Then we start wrapping them up and putting them away. “If we’re racing, we get done around 1 p.m. and go to the house and take a shower and head to the race. There’s days I enjoy it more than others. Some days you start at seven in the morning, and if I’m racing, say, in Cleveland, I might not get home until two or three in the morning.” Headworth had five horses – which he also drove - entered in the Ottawa County Fair on Monday. “We had three wins, a second place and a fourth,” said Headworth, adding that one of the best things about training horses is being your own boss. “Three of them were my own and two were other peoples’ horses. It went as well as I could expect.” Headworth said he began training pacers and trotters the day he graduated from high school. “I walked out the door and got in my car and went to Toledo Raceway,” he said, “and I’ve been here ever since. Lebanon didn’t race in the summer and we used to come to Toledo in the summer and race. I
“I was contemplating looking for a different line of work, with Raceway Park moving,” Headworth said. “Penn National Gaming doesn’t want to put the slots (machines) into the track and compete with the casino. I basically bought this place in Oregon with the intention of racing at Raceway Park. I’m not real happy. Now I have to race in Cleveland or Dayton. That’s a long drive back and forth every day.” Foster said Penn National Gaming took advantage of the local horsemen. He said the company told them one thing and followed through with another. “They told them initially, when they came in a few years ago, they were going to do all these great things for the horsemen,” Foster said. “That was not true. They were going to get slot machines out at the race track and were going to try to increase purses, and none of those things occurred. They knew the entire time they were going to come here and build a casino.” Foster added that losing Raceway Park will “devastate” local drivers like Headworth. “Mark has his own farm right here,” Foster said. “Trainers and drivers like him will either have to uproot and move - shift to Indiana, Cleveland, Columbus or Detroit — or get out of the business. All the locals in this area, the ones with the smaller stables, it’s really tied their hands.”
Millbury native sets goal — to become Olympic rower By Jess Poole Special to The Press sports@presspublications.com
Rower Josh Konieczny. (Photo courtesy of Dartmouth Athletics Communications) nation that Josh admires about his father has rubbed off on the younger Konieczny. Josh has set the goal of rowing in the Olympics and is well on his way to accomplishing that objective. Konieczny earned a spot at the U.S. Rowing Under23 sweep camp for this upcoming summer. It will serve as the selection camp for the four that will compete at the Under 23 World Championships in Linz, Austria in July. Konieczny has set the goal of making it to the World Championships and will continue to train with former Dartmouth head coach Dan Roock. Koniecnzy hopes to emulate some of the most successful international rowers
in his Olympic quest, and as one might expect, he tries to model himself after those who aren’t the most well-known individuals. “I’m inspired by the successful international rowers,” said Konieczny. “They aren’t big names, but they are guys that win four Olympic medals in a row. I’ve seen all their races and started gleaning technical, physiological, and psychological tips from them.” With rowing in the forefront of his mind, the economics major has also thought about what might make a good profession that could line up with his rowing aspirations. “The immediate plan is to make it to
“
Rowing is the same no matter where you are, so it's just about being as good as possible.
“
When you first meet Millbury native Josh Konieczny you might not realize he’s an athlete. He’s soft spoken, reflective and carries himself in such a manner that you might think he’s much older than his 21 years. The truth of the matter is the Dartmouth senior is arguably one of the best lightweight rowers around. The senior captain has helped bring the Big Green into the national spotlight during the course of his career. The lightweights have posted three consecutive top-five finishes and in 2012 took the silver medal at the IRA National Championship, earning them a berth in the prestigious Henley Regatta in England. Konieczny started rowing at St. John’s Jesuit High School. He was inspired to look into the sport because his uncle had participated, so he took a chance and ended up liking it. A long way from home, Konieczny found himself at Dartmouth for two reasons. One was to continue the Ivy League tradition his father started, while the other was because it was familiar. “Seventy-five percent of it was not wanting to be out done by my own Dad, who is a Brown alum,” Konieczny said. “I knew that I wanted to go Ivy League when it came time for college so that was one factor. The other 25 percent is that I was raised on a farm and Dartmouth is very rural and fits into my background.” Aside from the Ivy League connection, Konieczny is very close to his father and considers him his role model. “My dad is an American self-made man,” Konieczny remarked. “As a kid, he financed his mother’s car through a paper route and worked his way up to Brown. He’s extremely motivated, works very hard and gets by on his own strength. I look up to that.” Much of that hard work and determi-
the Olympics for rowing and following that I’m keeping my options open. I think the profession that lines up with both my athletic and career goals is a consultant, but I’m open to a host of options and ideas.” Konieczny will miss the Connecticut River, the boathouse and the atmosphere at Dartmouth, but most of all he will miss his teammates. As a senior captain this year, he’s taken the responsibility of maintaining the progress the team has made over the course of the last four years. “It’s a definite sense of responsibility especially with a different coach. We’re trying to maintain the success that we’ve had in the past,” said Konieczny. “You have to accept that it is different and maintain the sense of progress.” Konieczny and his teammates have close relationships outside of the boat and often sit down and have ‘heart-to-hearts’. “I like the ability to talk freely about whatever with my teammates,” Konieczny added. “Last year, the ‘12s’ (seniors) were the moral guides. If you were having problems, or wanted to talk about academics or anything, you could always talk and converse with them.” Josh and his teammates have been through a lot together, creating numerous memories and milestones, including the 2012 IRA national championship. “That was one of the top rowing-related memories that I have here at Dartmouth. It was the most competitive we’ve been in the past four or five years and even though we lost, we had a good race and that was our potential,” Konieczny said. “Going to England for the Henley as a result of our performance was a lot of fun, too.” With his goals set, Konieczny, in his soft spoken voice, also manages to keep all of it in perspective. “Rowing is the same no matter where you are, so it’s just about being as good as possible.” Konieczny is more than just good; he’s the best he can possibly be. The future is bright for Konieczny both on and off the water.

Genoa Boosters prepare for 11th annual goal post gala By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Genoa Comets Athletic Boostersannounced the 11th Annual Athletic Boosters Gala Fundraiser is Aug. 2. The gala was created to spearhead the drive to raise funds to move the Genoa Comets football stadium from Route 163 to the new campus on Genoa-Clay Center Road. The committee has completed the payment of the Genoa Comets football field and stadium. This year, all funds from the gala will be used to assist in the payment and continued enhancement for capital improvements to the athletic complex. The event will consist of a golf outing beginning with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. at Chippewa Golf Club and evening festivities, including live entertainment from the Bourban Street Band at Sunrise Park and Banquet Hall, with doors opening at 6 p.m., dinner at 6:30, and reverse raffle at 7 p.m. Dress for the evening is black-tie optional. Call Staci Jo McDaniel at 419-8558381 or e-mail marketing@genoabank.com.
New Scoreboard Oak Harbor High School’s Rocket Stadium will have a new scoreboard beginning this upcoming football season. The new Fair-Play scoreboard is eight feet longer than the previous one and features LED lighting which will prove to be more energy efficient and require less maintenance, say district officials. A press release states that the International Board of Electrical Workers “donated the lion’s share” of the money required, while the Oak Harbor Athletic Booster Club and Tri-Motor Sales donated sizeable amounts as well. These three donors covered the entire cost. Installation of this new scoreboard will begin later this month. Several more community donations of time and materials are currently being worked on to help with installation.

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.

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.

Clay to NLL?
Woodmore could help Sandusky River League situation By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com In recent years, a number of area schools have changed conferences, but maybe it’s time for the dominoes to fall one more time. In 2011, Eastwood, Genoa, Lake and Woodmore left the now-defunct Suburban Lakes League for the Northern Buckeye Conference and Gibsonburg departed the SLL for the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, a 10-team league (soon to be 11 schools with the addition of Tiffin Calvert) that is home to two other area schools, Northwood and Cardinal Stritch Catholic. Meanwhile, Clay left the Toledo City Athletic League for the Three Rivers Athletic Conference. While those changes have been for the better, I believe there are more alterations that would make for an even fairer and competitive high school sports scene. With the Midland Athletic League only in existence for one more year, some of those schools are looking for a new conference. Six of the league’s schools, Lakota, Fremont St. Joseph Central Catholic, New Riegel, Old Fort, Bettsville, and Fostoria St. Wendelin have joined with Sandusky St. Mary CC of the Sandusky Bay Conference to form the Sandusky River League. However, of the seven SRL schools, only three have football programs. The new conference should have eight football teams and I believe there is a plausible way to get there. That is where some of our other area schools come into play. I believe that Fostoria, Woodmore and Elmwood should leave the NBC and join the SRL starting in 2014-15. At the least, Woodmore and Elmwood should do so. Combined with the addition of Margaretta, out of the SBC, and Calvert of the MAL, there would be eight football teams and 12 schools total. Of course, Calvert has already committed to join the TAAC in 2014, but I see this as a better move geographically if everyone else follows suit. In addition to those five, the SRL would include football schools Lakota, St. Joseph,
The Flip Side by Yaneek Smith St. Mary, and non-football schools Old Fort, New Riegel, Bettsville, and St. Wendelin. FSW does have football, but its league foes are home-school based club teams, mostly from Michigan. As for Bettsville, maybe it should consider consolidating with Old Fort because enrollment figures demonstrate that boys don’t want to go to school there, likely leaving through open enrollment to play sports elsewhere. We certainly do not want Bettsville going up against Fostoria, or any of those other schools that are multiple times their size, but who else can Bettsville match up with — small non-OHSAA private schools like Harvest Temple in Clyde? Or maybe Put-in-Bay High School, which is at least an OHSAA member with 12 students in three grades. Or Kelly’s Island, which has nine boys compared to Bettsville’s 13. Some are probably wondering why a school of Fostoria’s size would fit into a conference with much smaller schools. Well, the truth is that the town is currently in rough shape demographically and has been so for some time as the population has steadily decreased the last 20 years. No east side for NLL With three slots open in the NBC, Bowling Green or Maumee could move over from the Northern Lakes League and Oak Harbor and Port Clinton could leave the SBC for the NBC. When Oak Harbor left the SLL years ago, it was much larger than the remaining schools at the time and fit better enrollmentwise with the SBC. However, sports writers believe that OH’s gate would be better in the NBC than when teams from Milan or Huron are in town — it seemed pretty good in the SLL

days when Genoa, Eastwood, and Woodmore arrived. SBC football games have decent crowds, but visiting empty bleachers are everywhere during basketball games. Plus, bring in Maumee, BG, or PC along with the rest — Eastwood, Genoa, Lake, Rossford, and Otsego — and it looks attrac-
tive competition-wise and gate-wise for both Ottawa County schools If PC, once a member of the Northern Lakes League, does not move, then maybe Fostoria stays in the NBC. If PC would move, than six of the eight NBC schools would be former NLL members. Bowling Green would obviously have an advantage in numbers over the rest of the NBC, but, in the last four years, the Bobcat football team has struggled to compete in the NLL, going a combined 14-26 (.350). BG rarely finishes in the upper division in the all-sports standings. BG and Maumee still fit in with the NLL, but barely. Maumee City Schools are locked in by surrounding districts and have little room, if any, for future growth. Maumee was invited to be a charter member of the NBC and despite heated public debate, the school board voted 3-2 to remain in the NLL. Of course you could invite Napoleon to the NBC, which fits even better enrollmentwise, but some NLL fans are wondering why they were even invited to the NLL because of its small enrollment and travel. Even with the new Route 24, it’s still a longer haul for most NLL schools than Clay was and a town like Napoleon is a different demographic. BG or Maumee’s departure would leave a spot open in the NLL and Clay would be the ideal fit for the conference, if you can convince some people from the western suburbs. Clay has applied numerous times over the years and fits demographically, but the NLL has continued to turn down their application for whatever reason. A Sylvania school administrator was once quoted that the NLL schools would never go to “the east side.” The Oregon high school has been slighted too many times by the western suburbs. You talk to Clay coaches and athletic officials, and they salivate at the idea of playing against more localized suburban competition in the NLL. The TRAC would have a number of Northwest Ohio options to fill Clay’s departure. (Press sports editor J. Patrick Eaken contributed to this opinion piece.)

Gladden: Credit for award goes to workers Kevin Gladden, Genoa’s village administrator, is a little humbled by the national award he recently received. “To me,” Gladden said as he sat in his office in the village administration building, “It means I have a lot of good people behind me.” Gladden, 58, drove to Nashville in June to receive the American Public Power Association’s Larry Hobart Seven Hats Award at the association’s national conference. The award recognizes managers who perform a variety of duties in communities of 2,500 or fewer electric meters. Gladden recently oversaw a $5 million upgrade to the Genoa electric system. He is also working with American Municipal Power to bring long-term stability to the village’s power supply portfolio. By growing the village’s electric portfolio, he said, it gives the administration an option
to buy electric power cheaper from other sources beside the banks that are buying up the power and selling it at outrageous prices per megawatt. In addition, he helped orchestrate one of Genoa’s most recent renovations -the switch to an automated meter reading system for both water and electric. The four-day conference attracted hundreds of people from across the nation, many of them heavy hitters - directors of utilities from major metropolitan areas in California, Washington, Minnesota and Pennsylvania. Twenty other various awards were given over the course of the recognition dinner. “I was sitting next to the guy who runs the Berkley, Calif. system that includes Universal and Pixar Studios,” Gladden said. He told Gladden that commercial units make up the better part of his customer base compared to the 55,000 residential units. “Fifty-five thousand users. Can you imagine? And that’s small to him,” Gladden smiled. Gladden received many handshakes

and congratulatory comments from his peers along the way. “One of the guys on the committee came up and shook my hand and said, ‘I voted for you’,” Gladden smiled. Still, it was the knowledge gathered over table talk regarding such things as new regulations and equipment that helped even out fanfare. “You learn a lot more outside the regular activities. It’s a networking thing,” Gladden said. Outside the formal meetings, Gladden and his wife, Sue, had a chance to tour Nashville. One of his favorite stops was at the Country Music Hall of Fame. He pulled out his cell phone and rolled through a series of photos until he found one of himself posed next to the golden plaque of country music great Sonny James. “Do you know him?” he asks. “It’s Sonny James. You know, the song “Young Love.” He sang it. He was my grandmother’s cousin and she used to tell me about him.”
