Green slime arrives in waves By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com

Co-owner Ryan Bowen is dwarfed by images of seven school mascots on the east wall of Ryan & Tony’s Barber Shop in Millbury. Artist Deano Davis took logo images from seven schools, clockwise from noon — Lake, Northwood, Clay, Oak Harbor, Genoa, Cardinal Stritch, and Woodmore, and used his creative talents to expand on them.

School mascots with an attitude By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Walking into Ryan and Tony’s Barber Shop on Woodville Road in Millbury, customers catch an eyeful of school mascots on steroids. Each mascot is about 10 to 20 square feet, and Lake’s is the biggest. The collection covers the entire east wall. Co-owner Ryan Bowen, once a Lake basketball star, stands in front of the mural and he is dwarfed by the images. If you are sitting in a barber’s chair, you spend the entire time looking at them. The trash talk begins almost immediately. “I love it. It brings color to, and don’t kill me for saying this, an otherwise drab community, to be honest with you,” said Kyle Borko, a 1985 Genoa High School graduate and customer. Co-owner Tony Meadows, a 1998 Lake graduate, said mean looking mascots was the plan, just like when the Toledo Mud Hens made Muddy appear meaner. “I said, I think we want to make them a little bit tougher. We wanted to give that little edge to them,” Meadows said.

Artist Deano Davis took logo images from seven schools — Woodmore, Cardinal Stritch Catholic, Genoa, Oak Harbor, Clay, Northwood, and Lake — and used his creative talents to expand on them. “He put his artist’s rendition on each one of them,” said Bowen. “He didn’t want them to be exactly like them, he wanted to do his own little take and they came out pretty neat. We love it. We’ve actually had a lot of people stop in here to look at it just by word of mouth. We couldn’t be happier. He did a fantastic job with it. It’s cool.

“It’s kind of funny. Every time somebody different comes in, they like a different mascot,” Bowen continues. “Everybody has their own thing. When the Genoa people come in, they like their Comet. Obviously, the Lake people like their ‘Lake.’ The Lake Flyers emblem is all over the place — there are pilots, airplanes — that one came out neat. The Lake Flyers’ pilot has the big eyeballs up there. I like Northwood’s, too, because Northwood’s literally is a blue and yellow ‘N’. It’s neat, man.” The airbrushed images took Davis, a CSX employee, about 20 hours. Bowen had to let him in at 5:30 a.m. the morning he finished the project. Davis, a 1996 Clay graduate who grew up in Harbor View, relished the opportunity. “I was fortunate to have an opportunity to give something back to the community,” Davis said. “It was fun that they were able to just let me create the logos. It’s hard for me to find an opportunity to just be creative and not be under so many rules, but it was definitely a project that I enjoyed.” Customer Aaron Endicott, who stops in the barber shop for coffee nearly every

If you’ve noticed that shoreline water along Maumee Bay is turning a shade of green, don’t be alarmed — yet. Sandy Bihn, executive director of the Lake Erie Waterkeeper Association, says algae blooms along the shoreline look bad under certain conditions, but they are not even close to levels reached in 2011. Bihn describes the green lake water near the shoreline as “putrid,” but it could be worse. “It’s not supposed to be as bad as 2011,” Bihn said. “Actually, I just collected it in a jar and took it to my speech in Pennsylvania, and the density of the algae of what we have now compared to what we had in 2011 is hugely different. Right now, it floats to the surface and is clear underneath, and in ’11 it went down 20 to 50 feet. So, it’s not nearly as dense or as abundant as it was in 2011, at least at this point. “It comes and goes,” Bihn continued. “It doesn’t look bad today (Wednesday). What happens when the lake is very calm and it’s warm, it will flow to the top and you’ll see a lot of it. Today, it’s not even two-footers (waves) and you don’t see any algae at all because it mixes in.” Changing agricultural practices and weather conditions are cited in a study as the likely causes of what is considered the largest harmful algae bloom in Lake Erie’s recorded history. While not all algae is harmful, the type seen in the huge blooms in the western part of Lake Erie and other inland Ohio lakes can produce nerve and liver toxins, which are especially dangerous for pets, children, the elderly and those with comprised immune systems. The algae have already limited the use of three other Ohio lakes, as well as some Canadian beaches. The algae is fed by the rising water temperatures and phosphates commonly found in fertilizers. Researchers at the University of Michigan and eight other institutions describe the 2011 algae bloom as a harbinger of things to come rather than an isolated occurrence.

Mascots with attitude (Continued from front page) morning, said that before Davis completed his creation, there was panic, especially from Lake fans. You see, Bowen is the Lake boys’ varsity basketball coach and Endicott is one of his assistants. “As that was being done, we would come in and say, ‘What is this and what is that?’” Endicott said, pointing to the images. “And then when he started putting it all together, it became an unbelievable conversation piece. Everyone who sits in the chair, before they get out of the chair, they’ve got to comment about it. So, it’s been all positive. We love it. “What happened is he got half of those done, and didn’t get the rest of them finished, and Lake wasn’t up there,” Endicott continued. “Boy, people would come in and say, ‘Where the heck is Lake at?’ When he put Ryan and Tony’s name in the middle — that was a great touch.” Trash talk gets thicker The barber shop has been there since 1967, started by Bowen’s uncle. Ryan took it over 19 years ago. Meadows, Ryan’s employee for eight years, became a partner this year. Ryan said the artwork is more than just a marketing piece. “We have a lot of customers who are young kids,” Bowen said. “We wanted to honor them all by putting their high school mascot on there. Obviously, all of the schools that are on there, all of our business is from that (area), so we thought it would be neat for all the kids. Meadows added, “From what I’ve seen, everyone has been extremely interested in it. I think it’s kind of caused a little buzz with some of the younger kids who come in. I think they really enjoy seeing their school logos up there and everything. There’s been a little bit of (school loyalty).” Davis, who has been a tattoo artist for 17 years, likes to dive into other art forms, too, like glass blowing. Other mural clients include Jed’s Barbecue and Brew restaurants, plus CSX also allows him to occasionally perform commercial artwork. “It’s always been a passion. I railroad, that’s my real job, but I’ve always done artwork. On the mural side, it really takes a lot of self-discipline and it takes a tremendous amount of desire to work with people,” Davis said. This was not Davis’ first gig at Ryan and Tony’s — he also did the adjacent mural containing images of Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Only that image is on two removable pieces of oak — the school logos are permanently air-brushed on the wall. First, the wall was prepared with a skin coat by Genoa residents Brandon and Dan Kincaid. Davis then applied a special high-quality paint shipped in from Louisiana. Then Davis went to work. “He gets up there with pencil, doesn’t look and starts drawing, and then when he air-brushes it that’s when he starts putting it to life,” Bowen said, adding that he paid Davis in cash, not haircuts. As new customers walk in, the trash talk gets even thicker. Borko, a former Comet and once a precision machining technology teacher at Start High School, has changed allegiance slightly because of his children. “Being a parent of Lake Flyer kids for the past 10 years, my last one is a senior this year, I’ve been to a lot of sporting events, so I will basically say, ‘No comment.’ It’s not about being a bad loser, but how gracious a winner you are, and that’s all I got to say. I still have a little bit of allegiance toward the Genoa Comets,” Borko said.

Schools seeking to protect athletic logos By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Soon after a mural depicting seven school logos appeared at Ryan & Tony’s Barber Shop in Millbury, the owners had a visitor — Northwood Schools Superintendent Greg Clark. Northwood Schools had just released its new logo, although it has not had much public exposure yet. But the school district went a step further than most districts — it copyrighted and trademarked the logo. The logo is designed by graphic artist Nathan James, the son of football coach Ken James, and the legal process was completed in June, Clark said. The logo is already stamped on a new gym floor, which was finished by a Woodville company, and it’s on letterhead, lanyards, and so forth. The reason for the trademark — major national retailers are selling sports apparel with the school names, colors, and logos, and Clark says the district gets no money from those sales. He wants to change all that. “Obviously what has happened in the past is that our school name, mascot, and colors and all those things — people other than us have used that for profit,” Clark alleges. “That’s (logo) unique to us. I think that has happened to a lot of schools. So, when we were looking at getting a new logo put together for the athletic department, one of the things we’ve done is we’ve had it done specifically for us. It’s not a stock, off the internet, logo.” Locally, Northwood is one of the first, but not the only one to seek legal protection. Oak Harbor has trademarked its logo, but for a different reason. “A couple of years ago, the University of Toledo contacted us with a letter threatening legal action if we did not stop using ‘their rocket,’” OH athletic director Drew Grahl said in an email. “As a result, we worked with a local vendor to create a new rocket that we use. Both the vendor and the school have trademarked the new rocket.” However, superintendents from Eastwood, Lake, and Genoa say their districts have not copyrighted or trademarked their logos. The Press stopped in at Meijer Wednesday night and found apparel for sale with colors and logos from Waite, Clay, and Maumee. A tag attached to the Waite and Maumee apparel, but not the Clay apparel, said, “A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this product will directly benefit your school.” Apparel representing Waite, Clay, and Lake are on sale at Wal-Mart, and made by the same company. Meanwhile, Clark says athletic boosters and band boosters are also trying to sell apparel to raise funds. But that doesn’t mean what the larger chain stores are doing violates any laws, Clark acknowledges.

If the school has not done anything to protect their mark, it is open season, basically.

“If the school has not done anything to protect their mark, it is open season, basically,” Clark said. “In years past, I know that those businesses have sold things with our name and our colors. I don’t think they are doing anything wrong and for the most part I don’t think schools have gone to the effort to do that protection, so we are investing in something new. I took those steps to protect the school district over the next few years.” Common law protection Trademark attorney Charles R. Schaub of downtown Toledo firm Emch, Schaffer, Schaub & Porcello Co., L.P.A., says the districts may have legal recourse even if they don’t file the paperwork. He says the continual use of that logo and colors could show that it belongs to the school, based on its agreement with the artist. “Traditionally, if I am an artist and I create that logo and I have ownership in it, regardless of whether or not I have actually

registered it as a copyright, it’s still my artistic work,” Schaub said. “Arguably, I think they could ask these merchants for money.” In addition, media coverage of high school sports continues to be on the rise. “I guess one of the things I’m always doing as a superintendent is look down the road a little bit, too, as more and more high school athletic programs are being marketed to larger and larger audiences,” Clark said. “Not necessarily Northwood right now, but we do appear on Buckeye (Cable Sports Network) and so forth. When you or I were kids, college athletics was kind of small time compared to what it is now. In 30 years, are we looking at high school athletics — who knows? We’ve got websites out there dedicated to high school athletics.” Schaub does think that it is a good idea for school districts to file a state trademark, which is less expensive than a federal trademark. The cost may be worth protecting the booster clubs. Clark actually loved the artwork on display at the barber shop, and he has no intention of going after co-owners Ryan Bowen and Tony Meadows. But it is the school’s legal responsibility to notify the shop to show it is protecting that logo. “Really, I sincerely believe those guys are supporting our kids and our community, but not everybody would be. This is a local business not making any attempt to take advantage of us. I heard about it, and so I just stopped in to see what it was. It was kind of surprising because we haven’t even rolled it out,” Clark said.

Democrats’ picnic

The Great Lakes

Oregon council opposes nuclear waste By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon city council on Monday will consider a resolution in opposition of a proposed deep geologic repository for low and intermediate level radioactive wastes near Kincardine, Ontario or any other underground repository constructed near the shore of any Great Lakes or connecting waterways. “The City of Oregon strongly values the water quality of Lake Erie and the Great Lakes,” states the resolution. Ontario Power Generation is proposing to construct an underground long term burial facility for all of Ontario’s low and intermediate radioactive waste at the Bruce Nuclear Generation Station, some of which is “highly radioactive and much of which will remain toxic for over 100,000 years,” states the resolution. “A couple years back, they were actually going to ship some of the radioactive materials overseas, and there was a lot of opposition to that, so that eventually kind of died,” Councilman Sandy Bihn said at a committee of the whole meeting on Monday. “But this facility up at Bruce in Ontario keeps coming back and wanting to do

these practices.” Michigan has a law that prohibits the release of radioactive materials in the Great Lakes,” added Bihn. The site is less than one mile inland from the shore of Lake Huron and about 440 yards below lake level. It is approximately 120 miles upstream from the main drinking water supply of southeast Michigan and approximately 145 miles upstream from the Toledo/Oregon drinking water intakes. “Since we’re downstream from Lake Huron, I think it would be appropriate as a community that we would not want to have radioactive waste in the Great Lakes, especially something upstream from our community,” said Bihn. This type of repository is not found anywhere else within the Great Lakes Basin, according to the resolution. Lake Huron via the St. Clair River/Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River supplies 95 percent of Lake Erie’s water. Placing a permanent nuclear waste facility so close to the Great Lakes is “ill advised,” states the resolution. “The potential damage to the Great Lakes from any leak or breach of radioactivity far outweighs any benefits that could be derived from burying radioactive waste

at this site. The ecology of the lakes, which is valuable beyond measure to the health and economic welfare of the entire region, should not be placed at risk by strong radioactive waste so close to the shoreline,” states the resolution. “I’m very in favor of this resolution,” said Councilman Jerry Peach. “Protecting the purity of the Great Lakes is probably one of the most important tasks for the legislators at the city and state level throughout the Midwest,” said Councilman James Seaman. “As time goes by, the water source from the Great Lakes is going to become more and more important for purposes of economic development. It’s going to revive the Midwest part of this country as time goes on.” “That’s absolutely correct,” said Bihn, who is also Western Lake Erie Waterkeeper. She said several counties in Michigan have passed similar resolutions. “I was called and asked if we could do it for here in Lake Erie. In the next couple of days, I will be doing it in the Cleveland area and elsewhere,” said Bihn. She recently contacted State Representative Mike Sheehy to ask if he can look into whether Ohio can pass a law similar to Michigan’s if it does have one on the books.

Democrats in Ottawa County will host a picnic Aug. 15 at the Bay Township Hall. The meal is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Hotdogs and hamburgers will be furnished by the Democratic Club.

Green slime Continued from front page The researchers found that intense spring rainstorms and the resulting runoffs from farm fields resulted in record-breaking levels of phosphorus, a nutrient in agricultural fertilizer that contributes to algae growth, washing into western Lake Erie. The study says those conditions set the stage for an algae bloom that covered about 2,000 square miles at its peak in early October 2011 – about three times larger than other blooms to occur in the lake, including those that occurred in the 1960s and 1970s. Don’t want adverse publicity Bihn says a sewage treatment plant in Detroit is also playing a role in the algae growth in the western basin. “That is the largest single wastewater plant in the United States. That plant contributes alone five percent of the phosphorous to Lake Erie. With the bankrupt conditions in Detroit right now, they haven’t always maintained their equipment real well, so there are malfunctions, so sometimes we’ll get sewage bypassing the plant and going into the rivers and lakes,” Bihn alleges. “There is still raw sewage. I have a picture this year showing sewage coming from one of the outfalls and going to the Detroit River and obviously going into Lake Erie. That plant continues to be an issue and a problem because it is such a huge source and it’s a single source where people can actually see it happen. “The problem is they are broke, and there are technologies to reduce the problem and make the problem better but obviously they don’t have the wherewithal to do it and not willing to do it at this point,” Bihn claimed. Bihn says the plant not only serves Detroit, but about 75 other communities. “You look at this Detroit wastewater plant, and even though it’s called Detroit, it’s serving Rochester Hills and a lot of the more affluent areas, so don’t think of it as Detroit. It goes all the way to Flint, which is actually getting out of it. It’s a huge regional system. They are actually thinking of creating a regional authority to oversee it, which I think is prudent,” Bihn said.

Last weekend, visitors to Maumee Bay State Park were stunned to see waves resembling thick, green paint. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) In her executive director role, Bihn often travels to other lakeshore communities to discuss lake issues. Last week, she was invited to give a presentation during an environmental summer series at the Jefferson Center in Erie, Pennsylvania. “It was probably one of the best places I’ve ever spoken,” Bihn said. “They said they had 20 sign up, and they were hoping to get 50. We had 72 people there who were really engaged. It was really a lot of fun and it went really well. They were happy with the speech and happy with the turnout and the questions were really great. “We need people in our area to care about and engage more in the water than we have, and we are always trying to do that. In Erie, the problem is the bay there is

full of algae right now. So, some of the conditions we have in the western basin are also in the eastern basin where the water is a lot deeper. But they are concerned.” Elected state officials are also involved in protecting the league. State Rep. and former Oregon city councilman Michael Sheehy (D-Oregon) attended the Lake Erie Protection and Restoration Plan meeting at the Maumee Public Library last week. As a long-time resident of the Maumee Bay area, Rep. Sheehy is concerned by the harmful algal blooms that are overtaking the Maumee Bay and greater Western Basin of Lake Erie year after year. “This toxic blue-green algae is a huge threat to all Ohioans. Not only does it slow tourism and harm the fishing industry, but

it poses a public health risk by contaminating water millions of Ohioans rely on for drinking. We have to take this seriously,” said Rep. Sheehy. “I just can’t imagine losing the lake, and if we don’t work together to solve this crisis, we will, and very soon. The restoration and protection of Ohio’s lakes must be a priority.” Bihn said, “A lot of us want an annual report card of how much phosphorous is coming into the lake, how much has been reduced from each source, from each tributary, from each river, and are we gaining ground or losing ground in the big picture. Obviously, we don’t want this to keep happening. We don’t want adverse conditions or adverse publicity.”

Library wants input for a $2 million expansion By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

We’re becoming more of a place that people not only come to for checking out a book but also for interacting and collaborating.

With a major expansion and renovation set for the drawing board, the Oregon Branch Library wants to hear from patrons on what they want from their local branch. A public meeting to gather input on an expansion and renovation project that will add 3,000 to 5,000 square feet to the branch on Dustin Road will be held Aug. 12 at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Little Sisters of the Poor Sacred Heart Home, 930 S. Wynn Rd. “It’s going to be a new format for gathering information,” said Charlie Oswanski, superintendent for facilities and operations of the Toledo Lucas County Public Library. “I think we’re going to break into groups and have some discussions as individual groups. It depends on how many people turn out for

the meeting. The bottom line is we want to know what the patrons like about what we’re doing now. What do they wish we’d do differently? Are there services that they’d like that we are not providing? Does the floor plan work?” Based on his experience with other

branch renovation projects and listening to patrons, Oswanski said he’s expecting to hear requests for a larger meeting room. “Our meeting rooms get a lot of use and that one as it relates to the rest of the system is real small,” he said. “We’re becoming more of a place that people not only come to for checking out a book but also for inter-acting and collaborating. We’re becoming more and more of a public space.” The branch on Dustin was built in 1988 and covers about 14,800 square feet. A Cleveland area firm, HBM Architects, has been selected for the project. According to the firm’s website, it has worked with more than 200 libraries since the firm was established in 1976. Oswanski said the project will cost approximately $2 million and a groundbreaking next spring is anticipated. Construction will probably take about nine months. Planners also want to know what Internet-related technology the branch should of-

“Employers have migrated to online applications,” Oswanski said. “So job seekers have to know how to get online, how to represent themselves, and they’ve got to know how to submit an application for a job online. Many people who are unemployed don’t have those skills. So they come to us for help. We do that all day long.” And with so many people having their own personal devices there is a need for space where they can use them, he said. The building’s mechanical systems will also need to be replaced or updated, he said, and the floor plan may also be changed to accommodate the resources offered to young adults and children. “More and more people come in and want to work on projects together or they need to work with our staff,” Oswanski said. “We have a lot of tutoring and host G.E.D. classes. We also do homework helper sessions.”

Long time councilman, wife, to be ‘king and queen’ By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com When Ed and Lois Wozniak moved to Pemberville in 1966, they were here to stay. The Wozniaks believed Pemberville would be a wonderful place to raise their children. “It was mostly to get closer to my work, I think, and then the house really took. The (Eastwood) school system was definitely a factor, I think, too,” Ed said. “We like small towns.” Since then, Ed has played a role in village politics and Lois volunteered for countless organizations. At 8 p.m. Wednesday, after the Kiddie Parade, the Pemberville Free Fair will coronate the Wozniaks as senior king and queen. During the ceremony, long time grocery store owner Bill Beard and wife Judy will be honored as the village’s outstanding citizens. The fair runs from August 14-17. Lois’ response when she heard about the coronation is the same as Garth Algar’s reaction when he met members of the rock band Aerosmith in the movie “Wayne’s World.” “We’re not worthy because we haven’t moved mountains. We just feel very, very honored and again, unworthy,” Lois said. However, they have accomplished a lot in their nearly 50 years living in Pemberville. Lois just hopes the reaction is positive during the coronation ceremony. “If they boo, we’ve got to take the crown away,” Lois joked. After serving over 25 years on village council under numerous mayors, Ed once received a proclamation from former mayor, the late Gustava Oberhouse. It was an appointment that got Ed off to serving a quarter century on council. “When the (Pemberville) Leader was operating (1970s) and (Jay) Parker was the mayor, something came up in the paper that the minutes weren’t right or something,” Ed said. “I went up to council a couple, three, or four times, and then a fellow passed away, and they appointed me and I took his place on council and that got me started. “The biggest challenge was passing the income tax. There were a lot of pros and cons. Mayor Parker — he knew that we needed to do that in order to have an income to take care of everything. I’ll always remember, one of the things he said was, ‘You know, it’s not when are we going to fix the potholes,’ he says, ‘It’s down to a point as to which potholes are we going to fix?’” “So, that was his thing. We had a little bit of opposition toward it. He made it clear that all of the council members should agree on it. We’ve all got to agree this is what we need to do or we shouldn’t pass it. He really emphasized that. “I resigned the position because Lois

It was just a personal thing. I’m still on the planning commission.” Ed believes one of the biggest problems facing the village today is potential flooding, among others. “They’ve got a lot of problems. They don’t have any money (for flooding),” Ed said. Their involvement goes beyond politics. Their home has been featured on the village’s Christmas Tour of Homes. The Wozniaks celebrated 50 years or marriage in 2002, and then 60 last year. When asked what their secret is to a long and happy marriage, the words ‘marry a good man” and “marry a good woman” are heard simultaneously. Since arriving in Pemberville, the Wozniaks have raised their children and the couple are now empty-nesters. Ed Jr. lives in Buffalo, Kathy (O’Laughlin) is in Norfolk, Virginia, and David is in Massachusetts. Ed and Lois’ personal history dates

back to their original hometown, Port Clinton. Ed Sr. was discharged from the U.S. Navy in 1946 and utilized his GI Bill to further his education and become a diesel mechanic. He and Lois were married in 1952. In addition to working in his trade, Ed worked as a salesman in his chosen field and sat on the advisory board at Owens Community College. He taught the first diesel class at Woodward High School and served on the first Otterbein-Portage Valley nursing home’s board. Today, Ed enjoys working in the bingo tent at the free fair and doing woodworking. Lois worked many years as a nurse at St. Charles Mercy Hospital, Oregon, including the last 12 as patient education coordinator. Lois is past president of the Friends of the Library and has been involved with the Pemberville Library Reading Group for 15 years, along with the fair’s quilt show, the Mental Culture Club, and Lakeside Federation of Women’s Clubs. She worked at the Pemberville-Freedom Historical Society’s antique shop, and belongs to the retired CCL group. She enjoys Bunco and the

The Pemberville Free Fair will be Aug. 14-17 and the entertainment begins with the Kiddie Parade Aug. 14 at 6:30 p.m. With food, games, and a variety of traditional fair competitions, the best part is admission remains free. On Aug. 14, after the Kiddie Parade, the audience will hear young rising talent Connor Rose, a 16-year-old country singer and guitarist who has released his first EP completed title, “The End of Tonight.” Connor has opened for “Lone Star” and performed in a variety of venues, including The General Jackson Showboat in Nashville. The 2013 grand stand stage entertainment opens Thursday, Aug. 15 at 6:30 p.m. with “I Want Animal Magic,” an exotic animal and magic show. From 8 to 9:30 p.m., Lynn Trefzger, a ventriloquist who brings a trunk full of comical characters to life, will perform. On Aug. 16, The Stickers, a Western Pennsylvania band with three brothers, four country chart hits in Europe and five in the U.S. will perform at 9 p.m. Also on Aug. 15, from 6:30-8 p.m. is the exotic animal and magic show, “I Want Animal Magic” and from 8-9:30 p.m, Lynn Trefzger, a ventriloquist who brings a trunkful of comical characters will perform.

Wood County Hospital swim group known as “Keep Moving.” Now that both are in their 80s, they aren’t quite as involved as they once were. But Lois says once involved, it was easy to stay involved. “They were neat folks to work with and it was just good to be together and good to do something,” Lois said. “The library reading group — that group is fantastic. They are just a bunch of wonderful women and you just sit back with your mouth wide open and hear all those things coming out.” (Information taken from the Pemberville Free Fair program booklet, prepared by Beth Fritz, with permission).

‘One million smiles from the corner of God’s earth’ By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Pemberville business owners know Peter I. Maxwell, 61, because he spent 30 years as a UPS driver delivering to the Pemberville/Eastwood area. Maxwell will be grand marshal of the Pemberville Free Fair parade, which begins at 1 p.m. on Saturday, the final day of the fair. The fair runs from August 14-17. Maxwell told fair program booklet editor Beth Fritz that he would not “trade the memories for anything.” “Over one million miles and at least one million smiles from the corner of God’s earth,” Maxwell said. “In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun and I certainly had a wonderful career because of all the good people,” Maxwell continued. “Cakes, cookies, Gatorade, your hospitality was wonderful. “Watching the corn grown daily, the wheat harvest, the leaves turning, and the smell of tomato soup became my world. The eagles, the deer (he says he only hit one as a driver), the geese on the river, and the town turkey along Water Street made me smile immensely. “But, mostly this community is world class. This honor to be grand marshal of the parade caps off my life down here — just driving down Front Street will always put a smile on my face, my home away from home.” Maxwell, a Harvard Elementary, 1970 Bowsher High School and 1976 University of Toledo (business education) graduate, started at UPS on April Fools’ Day, 1971, working seven years as a part-time employ-

Bill and Judy Beard ee. He then worked full time 34 years. Maxwell’s parents, Tom and Iris, met during World War II on the west coast of England. He married his wife Carolyn in 1975 while working at UPS, and they raised two sons — Peter, now manager at Yark’s Automotive Group, and Matthew, representative for Imagination Books/Books are Fun), who is married to Emily. Pete has two brothers, Rex and Bruce. Pete has been a New York Yankees fan since 1959 and is a life member of the Church of the Cross Methodist church as well as a member of the Toledo Sailing Club and

Top Citizens Fair organizer Nedra Sheets says when Judy Beard heard about being honored as Pemberville’s outstanding citizens, she cried, and husband Bill says he was Peter I. Maxwell touched, too. “I’m very humbled with it and it’s a great honor, obviously. I’ve enjoyed my time with the people in the community and this is what we call home,” Bill said. “It’s been the satisfaction of being here. It’s a great, little place. Obviously, we raised all of our children here and most of them got married here, got grown up, and went away. It’s just a great, little place.” At 8 p.m. Wednesday, after the Kiddie Parade, the Beards will be honored as the village’s outstanding citizens in a ceremony on the main stage. Bill and Judy Beard purchased the Pemberville IGA from Bob Hahn Jr. in 1975 and moved their family here in 1976. They have celebrated 50 years of marriage, having tied the knot on March 24, 1962 in Lima while Bill was serving in the U.S. Navy. After being discharged, Bill began his lifelong career in the grocery retail business before purchasing the IGA. “I was working for the IGA distributor out of Bellefontaine and I was calling on this particular part of the country, includ-

ing calling on this store, and it came up that he wanted to sell it so I wound up buying it,” Bill said. The couple enjoyed serving the village as business owners for 32 years, ultimately selling to current owner Bob Frobose. Even though a Dollar General opened across the railroad tracks on Pemberville Road, Beard believes sales will remain strong because of the diversity of the grocery’s stores products. Now retired, the Beards find themselves doing plenty of traveling. Bill’s hobbies include golf and cars. From a kit, he built a Shelby Cobra, which he says would be worth a half million dollars if purchased from a dealership. From a kit, it’s less expensive. “I’ve always kind of tinkered with (cars). I had (the Cobra) for about 14 years and I sold it, and I have a late model Mustang I fool with, and that is about it,” Bill said. Judy raised the children and then joined Bill at the store where she served as bookkeeper and office manager. Judy says she enjoys time with friends, shopping, and “spoiling their grandchildren.” When they arrived in Pemberville 37 years ago, they were here to stay, raising their four children, Renee (Paul) Zink, Michelle (Bob) Siler, Mark (Lynn) Beard and Scott Beard at their home on Swan Road. Bill and Judy now enjoy time with their 10 grandchildren, Rachel and Kristin Zink; Shane Miller; Rob, Andrew and Sara Siler; and Nicholas, Jacob, and Cameron Beard. The Beards are members of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Pemberville. (Information and photos are from the Pemberville Free Fair program booklet, prepared by Beth Fritz, with permission).

Trustees decide full-time fire chief is needed in Lake Twp. By Larry Limpf Press News Editor news@presspublications.com The Lake Township trustees have decided to hire a new fire chief and to make the position full-time – and do it quickly. Interim fire chief Mike Hornyak informed the trustees he intends to resign the post in two weeks, saying the demands of his private sector job leave insufficient time for the duties of chief. The trustees Tuesday agreed to advertise the position and to select a candidate during their Aug. 20 meeting. “We have wonderful people in our fire department but they need leadership,� Melanie Bowen, chairman of the board of trustees, said in making the argument for a full-time chief. “We’ve got to have somebody good at the helm.� She said many of the responsibilities

of fire chief need to be addressed during the day but many on the volunteer department’s roster have full-time jobs. Trustees Ron Sims and Richard Welling agreed a full-time chief is needed. “I said in the past we need a full-time chief,� Sims said. Bowen said she has met with Bruce Moritz, chief of the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District, for his input on preparing a job description for a full-time chief. Samples of job descriptions used by other area departments were provided to her, she said. A draft of a job description written by Bowen calls for Lake Township candidates to be a level 1 and 2 firefighter in Ohio and to be a certified fire safety inspector and emergency medical technician. Candidates must also have 10 years experience with a fire department. The pay range would be $55,000 to $60,000 a year, she said.

The last full-time chief to head the township department of about 60 firefighters and emergency medical service personnel was Eric Larson, who was being paid $57,824 in 2009 when he left to accept a position with the Wood County Hospital. Larson was hired in July, 2006, replacing Mike Buzza, who resigned a month earlier. At the time Larson left, Bowen said the board of trustees would consider options for filling the vacated post, including let it again become a part-time position, which it was before Larson was hired. They decided to select Todd Walters, who was deputy chief, as part-time chief. Walters was being paid $27.73 an hour when he resigned earlier this year. Hornyak, then a deputy chief, was given a $2 raise to $18 an hour when he replaced Walters as interim chief. Bowen said the fire department was in

“fairly decent� shape financially, however, one of the department’s trucks will need to be replaced next year. A grant the township received earlier this year to purchase radios for the fire department allowed the trustees to pay off a loan for a 2007 fire truck early and save about $50,000 in interest payments. The trustees Tuesday also discussed possibly revising a policy of paying points for members of the fire department while they attend training classes. The trustees agreed to continue paying points as well as the cost of the training classes for six firefighters – five taking emergency medical technician classes and one taking a volunteer fire class – but said the policy of paying points for department personnel while they’re taking classes needs to be reviewed. Under the point system, a point represents approximately one hour of service.

Northwood firefighter retires after 50 years of service

“

By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com

I am still helping them. I retired June 1st and when I hear the sirens, I still want to go.

“

Dale Miekes, of Northwood, never fantasized about becoming a fireman as a young boy. Now, some 50 years later, Miekes has to restrain himself from answering the alarm. “I was asked to join the department in 1963,� Miekes said with a chuckle. “They really needed the help and they said it would just be temporary. As a kid, it never entered my mind that I wanted to be a firefighter. Now, 50 years later, I am still helping them. I retired June 1st and when I hear the sirens, I still want to go.� Miekes, a retired construction worker with IBEW Local 8, said the intricacies of the firefighting job kept him in his temporary position. “The training really intrigued me,� Miekes said. “I really liked the medical training the most. I was able to bring EMS training to the department.� Being with fellow firefighters also kept Miekes involved with the department. “They really are a bunch of great guys,� he said. “There was a lot of camaraderie and the people really appreciated us. Fire Chief Joel Whitmore, said Miekes started the first EMS training in 1968. Whitmore added that he also trained firefighters when the city received its first tele-squirt truck. “Dale is a friendly guy who was always willing to help out the new guys in the department,� Whitmore said. “We recognized him this spring at our Firefighter of the Year Banquet. He received several state and local proclamations including one from our Mayor (Mark Stoner). He was with us for 50 years and that really says a lot.� Miekes said delivering a baby, rescuing

Dale Miekis retired last month after 50 years of service with the Northwood Fire Department. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) people from buildings, fires and car accidents are things he remembers quite well. “I guess what really stands out is the time in the early 1970’s when we rescued a family of five after they were hit by a train,�

Miekes said. “The man was a fellow firefighter and it was Christmas Eve. He was driving a brand new Mustang with three kids in the back. He had waited at Vicker’s Crossing, near Drouillard and Wales roads, for a

train to pass. He started to cross and did not see the second train approaching. We had to use the Jaws of Life to get them out. We had to get under the car to get the children out. Luckily, everybody survived.� Miekes said he is the only one in his family who wanted to be a firefighter. He and his late wife, Sally, who passed away in 1994, had four children: Kevin, who lives in Curtice; Renee who lives in Middleton Township; Patty, who resides in Findlay and Brenda, who lives in Arizona. Married to his current wife, Joyce, since 1999, the couple has eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren. “None of the kids wanted to be a firefighter,� Miekes said. “I think the children saw how much training there was to it and how much I was gone. They did not want to be a part of it.� Although he fights the urge to answer the call for help, Miekes said he is happy in retirement. “I can tell you, I miss the camaraderie with the fellas,� he said. “But I do not miss getting up in the middle of the night.�

39th Birmingham Festival two days of fun, food & dance By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com The 39th Annual Birmingham Ethnic Festival will take place on Consaul Street and throughout the Birmingham neighborhood on August 17-18, 2013. The festival will be open from noon to 10 pm on Saturday and from noon until 9 pm on Sunday. According to Betsy Ujvagi , Birmingham Festival Committee secretary, the festival this year has gone to a two day event in response to requests from vendors and visitors alike. “We had vendors and people asking for the last few years to make the festival a two-day event,� Ujvagi said. “The festival is always very popular with thousands of visitors. Now that it is two days, we expect even more people to come and enjoy our

neighborhood.� This family event will feature Hungarian and ethnic foods, arts and crafts exhibits, cultural displays, and a wide variety of music, dance and continuous entertainment. St. Stephen’s Catholic Church, the Hungarian Club of Toledo, VFW Post 4906 and Calvin United Church of Christ will feature their famous chicken paprikas and kolbasz dinners, as well as Hungarian pastries, paprikas noodles & gravy, kolbasz sandwiches, stuffed cabbages, and szalona sutes, otherwise known as Hunky Turkey. There will also be several other vendors providing a wide array of food items including Opa! Cuisine, A&M Concession, Old World Foods, K&K Concession, Sno Biz, Berry’s Goods, Rader Enterprise and Jeanie’s Weenies. “The food and the beer has always been a big draw to the festival,� Ujvagi said. “Every year, the festival keeps getting bigger.

More and more people are coming every year now and learning about Birmingham.� The entertainment also brings in the crowds, Ujvagi said. “We really have a little bit of something for everyone,� she said. “We have Hungarian dancers and bands, Irish dancers, the Cake Walkin’ Jass Band, and we will have Shout- a Beatles Tribute band on Saturday.� The 19th Annual Waiters Race will take place on Saturday at 4 p.m., at the VFW, Ujvagi said adding the race has been opened up to organizations outside of the Birmingham neighborhood. Arts and crafts will also be sold including Hungarian, Indian, African and American Indian jewelry, clothing, etc. A special tour of the Magyar Gardin will take place from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. Located at 2353 York Street, the garden

features a Monarch Butterfly Way station, community garden vegetable plots, an insect hotel and a working beehive. Visitors may also purchase honey and lavender sachets that were created from the garden. On Sunday, a Recognition Ceremony will be held at noon on the steps of St. Stephen’s Church, beginning with a flag raising ceremony. There will also be an announcement of the recipient of the Birmingham Friend of the Neighborhood Award, recognition of local and international guests, and the presentation of the Beer Keg Trophy to the winner of the Waiters Race. “I am not surprised that the festival has become a very popular event,� Ujvagi said. “The reason we have the festival is to celebrate and show who we are as a community. People from outside the neighborhood get to see who we are and that is the best thing possible.�

Local company designs, builds ‘fastest’ engines By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com John Kyle likes to go fast. More to the point, he likes to build things that go fast. Kyle, 39, who owns Advanced Product Design at 3025 N. Genoa-Clay Center Rd., has been building engines for all types of race cars, mostly dragsters, for 12 years. “We build carburetors and engines for everything in the racing industry,� said Kyle, a Northwood native. “Primarily drag racing, late-model racing and a little bit of street hot rod. I drag race, and all my guys (employees) drag race. It just comes natural. We just got so big within the drag racing industry, we couldn’t keep up with the demand. We still have customers we do late models for.� Advanced Product Design has five other employees - Joe Hessling, Randy Scheuer, Chris Fleenor, Casey Cozad and Jim Sankewicz. Kyle raced dragsters and two-chassis trucks from 1995-2005 and won his share of races, including the World Super Pro Challenge in Michigan in 1997. He won an IHRA world bracket finals race in 1997, but the engine-building business was too much to pass up. “I gave up racing mostly because of the business,� Kyle said. “I couldn’t keep up with everything. I don’t really miss driving, because I’m still so involved with it. I have hundreds of customers I’m involved with daily.� Kyle’s business in Genoa covers 3,200 square feet and was originally used for building transmissions. When Kyle got married in 1997, he gave that business to his father. “A friend of mine bought some carburetors that didn’t work very well,� Kyle said. “I was helping him, and next thing I knew I was building carburetors. I had a customer from Adrian, Mich., who had a lot of (car) problems. I helped him with his car and it worked out well for him. He approached me about building an engine for him, for a 1963 Corvette. I built an engine for him and he went on to win multiple championships. We won a lot of ‘heads-up’ races, where the first one to the finish line wins. His motor turned into another one, and then another one, and here we are.� Kyle estimated that he sells about 75 engines a year, and 90 percent of those are

School retains reduced fees for eligible students By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to the Suburban Press

Genoa students in the free and reduced lunch school program are eligible for other fee reductions, Bill Nye, district treasurer, said. The National School Lunch Program is a federally-assisted meal program operating in more than 100,000 public and non-profit private schools and residential childcare institutions. It provided low-cost or free lunches to more than 31 million children each school day in 2011, according to government figures. Several years ago, the Ohio Department of Education mandated that students eligible for the free lunch program wouldn’t have to pay any fees, the treasurer explained. But a couple of years ago, Genoa schools took that edict a little further when school board members also approved a 50 percent fee reduction for any students on the reduced lunch program, Nye said. The school board this summer reaffirmed its position, approving the resolution once again. “It certainly isn’t a stretch to believe if you’re on the reduced lunch program that you might have trouble paying fees,” he

said. Genoa has a $100 base fee for grades kindergarten through 12. The fee, which is used to cover supplies and related expenses, remains the same for the 2012-13 school year as the previous year, superintendent

Dennis Mock said. A series of across-the-board fees were instituted after Genoa schools faced difficult financial issues two to three years ago and began whittling down its budget. Additional fees are levied in high school on elective classes chosen by the students, Nye said. Those fees will also be reduced by half for those in the reduced lunch program. During the 2011-12 school year, 32 percent of Genoa’s school children enrolled in the lunch program, Nye said. A $10 class fee that covers prom-related costs and other expenses remains in effect for all high school students. Nye did not have the individual breakdown for the free and reduced categories. However, more elementary students (36 percent) than middle school and high school students (30 percent) took part, he said. The year before, the figure was a little higher, around 35 percent. The percentage has grown over the past few years as the recession and tough economy continue to take its toll on area families, officials say. The increase falls in line with shifts seen across the state. Four out of 10 students are on free or reduced lunches in the Buckeye State, ac-

cording to Amy Hanuer, executive director of Policy Matters Ohio. She and others converged upon Columbus in May 2011 in a rally to defend the plight of the middle class worker in this state. Her figures were provided by the Ohio Department of Education. Any child at a participating school may purchase a meal through the National School Lunch Program. Children from families with incomes at or below 130 percent of the poverty level are eligible for free meals. Those with incomes between 130 percent and 185 percent of the poverty level are eligible for reduced price meals, for which students can be charged no more than 40 cents. (For the period July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013, 130 percent of the poverty level is $29,965 for a family of four; 185 percent is $42,643.) School starts Aug. 21 in the Genoa district. Families can begin paying their fees the week of Aug. 14. Those enrolled in this lunch program, however, will pay the fees after the school year begins. The lunch program paperwork is not completed until then and the school district will use those forms for review, Nye said.

Village of Genoa to update downtown street lights By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to the Suburban Press

So in recent months, Genoa officials began investigating the engineering and replacement costs to install LED lighting. On Wednesday, Gladden met with officials from Midwest Circuit in Michigan to discuss the changes more in depth. A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semi conductor light source. LEDs are used in indicator lamps in many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting. LEDs offer a number of advantages over incandescent lights including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, longer lasting bodies and smaller size. They are used today in everything from aviation and automotive lighting to traffic signals and remotes for DVD players and televisions. Changing over the 45 downtown lights

Street lighting in Genoa’s downtown district is getting an update. The decorative street lighting, a majority of which stretches along Main Street, was last renovated in the 1970s when Genoa officials undertook a streetscape project, said Village Administrator Kevin Gladden. Today, those 175-watt mercury vapor bulbs put out varying degrees of light, leaving the downtown less illuminated than preferred, he added. That is, efficiency and output have degraded though the years. “There are different colors, different amounts of light. It looks very dim overall,” Gladden said.

in Genoa to the new LED lights is estimated to cost a little more than $18,000. “They’ll have half the energy use and payback will be within six to seven years,” Gladden said. Midwest Circuit also worked with Elmore in its recent downtown lighting update. “You have to see it,” Gladden said of Elmore’s new lighting system. “It’s bright. It’s white. It’s consistent. They even did down by the depot near the bike trail. That makes a big difference. It looks great.” The bulk of the labor will be down by the Genoa maintenance staff.

Dealing with these situations requires the ability to live with ambiguity. Usually there is no easy answer, and the temptation to solve these problems only exacerbates the experience of ambiguous loss, because it holds out the prospect of closure or resolution when there is none. “Lord, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you.

There are many situations where we experience loss ambiguously. A family member suffering from a brain injury or who is becoming senile certainly fits the criteria for ambiguous loss, because they are physically present but psychologically absent. Homesickness is also a case of ambiguous loss because the person missed can be psychologically present, on the phone, for instance, but be physically absent. Choosing to move away from home or to break up with a romantic partner are clear cases of ambiguous loss. Missing persons, and cases where someone is lost are particularly difficult forms of ambiguous

The job involves pulling out the guts of the street lamp’s circuits and replacing them with the newer version. Gladden estimates the project could take up to 15 to 30 minutes for the individual posts. “We would do it as time allowed,” Gladden said. “I think Elmore was able to change its lights over in about three to four days. Oak Harbor also replaced its old lights with LED lighting in the fall of 2011. There, crews exchanged 335 old lights with new 84-watt LED lights. A federal grant helped pay half the costs of that project.

The fireworks have been beautiful and enjoyed by so many people of all ages. How sad, this year is the last year the chamber is sponsoring the fireworks. People will miss the gorgeous display of many designs bursting forth in the dark sky near the 4th of July. The fireworks display has become a tradition in Elmore, so let us join together as citizens of the Elmore community to have another beautiful display take place in 2014. With everyone pitching in and donating what they can, this endeavor will materialize. The Elmore Historical Society has graciously offered to accept donations towards the fireworks but they are looking for someone to take over the responsibility of the fireworks project. If anyone is interested in being in charge of the 2014 fireworks please let Mayor Lowell Krumnow know. In the meantime send your fireworks donation to the Elmore Historical Society, 353 Ottawa Street, P.O. Box 154, Elmore, O. 43416. On your check in the memo part write fireworks money. The donation is tax deductible and would show your support for this endeavor. Elmore has pulled together so many times and we know it will again. Tom and Betty Miller Elmore

By voting yes to place a levy on the November ballot, our city will not only have a reliable and continued source of revenue for the Oregon Senior Center, but will be able to offer many needed services. After many years of independence, seniors now have to rely on their children or other friends and family to help with everyday chores and needs. In today’s economy, many struggle just to make ends meet. All Oregon voters need to rally behind this proposed levy and vote yes in November.

What you do for others can have a great impact Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

Look for opportunities to be of service. Let go of the need to receive something in return.

It’s not what you do for yourself that has the greatest impact, rather it’s what you do for others that really matters. You can get whatever you want in life by helping enough other people get what they want. Although this concept has been proven time and time again throughout history, many people take the opposite approach by focusing on what they can do for themselves. They have an attitude of “what’s in it for me,” and “what can I get,” when deciding on a course to take. To illustrate this principle, let’s look at a prospective employee at a job interview. The candidate is concerned about pay, benefits, and vacation time. Although these issues are relevant, they have no bearing on the person’s suitability for the position. A job offer will only be made to someone who can best solve an employer’s problems. A successful candidate utilizes their interview to expound on how much they can be of service to the employer. When the employer wants what the candidate has to offer, they respond by offering something in return; salary and benefits. For another example, consider Linda and Bob, two employees looking for a promotion. Bob feels that his obligation is to perform only the work he is being paid for. He reasons that if his employer wants him to do more work and take on additional responsibilities, they should first give him a raise and promotion. Bob decides how much he will do based on how much he’s getting. Linda on the other hand, always does more than she is being paid for. She looks for work that needs to be done without being asked and is always willing to assume more responsibility. Linda does as much as she can without worrying about how much she is getting. Most employers would readily promote Linda over Bob. Even if Linda doesn’t get a promotion with her current employer,

she will get one with another. It’s what you do for others that determines what you get in return. Successful businesses are the ones that do more for their customers and employees than is expected. Customers are thrilled when they feel as if they are getting more than their money’s worth. They are more likely to return to a business that treats them well. Employees work harder for, and stay longer with employers where they are respected and appreciated. The principle is universal. What you receive is based on what you give. This cause and effect doesn’t always work immediately. There’s no way to know how long it will take. Some people become cynical, thinking their efforts are going unrewarded. Their response is to cut back on what they give until they receive what they

want. This is a self-defeating strategy that is doomed to fail. Giving always precedes getting. However, you must give without expectation of receiving something in return. This concept goes against our conditioning. It requires a lot of faith. If you have trouble with this approach, look at it from a different perspective. Since giving with strings attached is proven to fail, you have nothing to lose by taking the opposite approach; giving without expectation. Although it may feel uncomfortable at first, give it a try. As you experience more successes, it will become

(Lafayette photo courtesy of the Ohio Historical Society) When the train made its way through France and Italy it was met with exuberant crowds. In one small Italian town, 10,000 came out to show their appreciation. The French people, so moved by this gesture of friendship, reciprocated. According to the website themetrains.com, Andre Picard, a French veteran and railroad worker, led an initiative to send us a train full of gifts. The train was called The Merci Train, sometimes called The Gratitude Train. Just like the Friendship Train, it wended its way across France collecting thank-you gifts from tens of thousands of French citizens. Many of the items were personal, like handmade toys and crafts. The most impressive gift in the Ohio boxcar was a bust of General Marquis de Lafayette, the French soldier who fought for our country during the Revolutionary War. Other items included a doll, a copper kettle, a bonnet and essays and drawings from school children. The Merci Train consisted of 49 boxcars, one for each state and one to be shared by Washington D.C. and the Territory of Hawaii, according to the website mercitrain.

The nation was so enamored by Pearson’s idea that one train could not pull the load...

The vintage boxcar at Camp Perry in Port Clinton is not a destination point. Not enough visual appeal. Besides, you can only view it from the outside. Its contents are housed in Columbus at the Ohio Historical Society. But, the story behind the boxcar is worth retelling because it speaks of the generosity of the American people and the gratitude of those who suffered the devastation of war. Two years after World War II the allies were in the process of rebuilding Europe and a newspaper columnist from Los Angeles, Drew Pearson, thought the communists were getting too much credit for their meager contributions. He wanted to show the world the generosity of the American people. In his columns and broadcasts, he asked individuals to contribute food from their gardens, homes and farm fields. These contributions would be loaded onto a train that made its way across the country from Los Angeles to New York. Pearson’s idea sparked an outpouring of good will across the country, writes Dorothy R. Scheele on the website The Friendship Train of 1947. As the train moved eastward it was met by trucks full of food coming from the north and the south. Toledo’s goal was to fill five freight cars with wheat, flour, condensed milk and dried vegetables, according to an article in the Toledo Blade on November 13. A cartoon show was held at the Paramount Theatre with admission being one can of evaporated milk. The nation was so enamored by Pearson’s idea that one train could not pull the load over mountainous terrain. By the time the train reached New York for departure to France and Italy, there were three trains pulling 270 boxcars and more than $40 million worth of food, fuel and clothing. Scheele writes every package had a label that read: “All races and creeds make up the vast melting pot of America, and in a democratic and Christian spirit of good will toward men, we, the American people, have worked together to bring this food to your doorsteps, hoping that it will tide you over until your own fields are again rich and abundant with crops.” The contributions were in addition to the efforts of the federal government via the Marshall Plan. Everything on the Friendship Train was donated — the food, the fuel, the transportation and the labor.

org. The boxcars would have meaning for the millions of American soldiers who fought in World War I and World War II as they were used to move troops in both wars. The cars were built between 1872 and 1885 and each could transport 40 men or eight horses. The quarters were so cramped that the men barely had enough room to sit and they had to sleep in rows. Each boxcar was emblazoned with a plaque depicting the front of a steam engine and flowers representing Flanders Field,

the final resting place for many American soldiers from both wars. They were also adorned with plaques depicting the coatof-arms from each French province. The Merci Train arrived in New York Feb. 3, 1949 on a ship called Magellan. According to the website metrains.com, the ship was met by “waves of aircraft and a flotilla of boats.” The box cars were loaded onto flat cars and transported to each state, where they were welcomed by dignitaries and veterans and their families. Today, most are forgotten. Ohio’s boxcar is at Camp Perry. Georgia’s is at The Southern Museum of Locomotive and Civil War History in Kennesaw. Others are at parks, railroad museums and Veteran posts. A few can no longer be found, but as the last of the World War II veterans take their final ride, these symbols of friendship between the citizens of two allied nations remind us of both the sacrifices made by American soldiers and the gratitude shown in return.

On Saturday, July 13 at Otterbein Portage Valley, Pemberville, under blue skies and with cool breeze, walkers set a new record for their second annual Mini Relay For Life. This year’s total of $11,413 exceeded the goal of $10,000. The event celebrated the 100th birthday of the American Cancer Society with different fun birthday themes throughout the 10-hour event. According to Otterbein Portage Valley Relay for Life chairperson Michele Kipplen, the event was a remarkable achievement, adding that the 2013 goal was a big jump from last year. “Nine teams were present, 189 luminaires were lit, 19 cancer survivors were present, nine local businesses donated time and materials, $395 was raised in the chair auction, and everyone came together for one huge success story,” Kipplen said. The winning team was the OPV Rollers, a team comprised of Otterbein Portage Valley residents which raised $1,800. During the year, they held fundraisers that increased awareness about the event and gave them a big head start in earnings prior to the Relay event. The Mini Relay For Life is one of the four Relays in Wood County that raise money for the American Cancer Society to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. The funds raised truly make a difference in the fight against cancer – just ask one of the nearly 14 million cancer survivors who will celebrate another birthday this year!

Rock It Out Nutrition to hold grand opening Aug. 24 By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Having weight issues? Been feeling tired lately? Not satisfied with your diet? Jamie and Aaron Meade invite you to stop by Rock It Out Nutrition in downtown Oak Harbor to discuss getting on the road to a healthy weight and lifestyle. Located at 156 W. Water St., Rock It Out features an extensive array of Herbalife products ranging from shakes to energy bars to supplements formulated to promote weight loss, help gain and maintain muscle and improve general health. The Meades, of Fremont, are distributors of Herbalife, a company that, according to its website, helps people “pursue a healthy, active life (with) nutrition, weightmanagement and personal care products.”

There are four kinds of tea available, including original, lemon, raspberry and peach; and more than 60 types of shakes, ranging from cinnamon toast crunch to pina colada to turtle cheesecake. The store also sells vitamins and supplements, along with perfume and skin care products. For those who have “tried everything” and haven’t been able to shake extra weight, Jamie says, “Come in here for three days (and see). “Let me get you on the scale, do a body scan, get you a healthy meal, some shakes and we’ll check your numbers,” she said. “We also help to coach you one-on-one, construct a meal plan and give you recipes, a health-conditions guide and instructions on how to make your smoothies.” The body scan she’s referring to, which is free of charge, determines a person’s metabolic age, bone density, Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), body fat and lean muscle,

among other things. “I had a diabetic gentleman that came in here who started using some of our products, and his blood sugar is now regulated,” Meade said. “Sometimes just getting cellular nutrition is critical, and it’s important to get your vitamins, minerals and protein. We use these products ourselves, so we’re knowledgeable about them and can help you. “These shakes have everything you need in one meal. We set people up with meal plans and give them recipes. What I like about it (the program) is that it’s simple — eat some healthy shakes, a healthy snack and a healthy dinner and you have a good thing going – I like the simplicity of it all,” she said. The Meades, who also own Mint Condition Nutrition at 1612 W. State St. in Fremont, have benefited from using the

products themselves. Thus far, after 18 months of use, Jamie has lost 45 pounds and Aaron is down 51 pounds. According to Jamie, 43, who previously worked as a massage therapist, the Fremont store has been open for just over a year and things are progressing nicely. She’s hoping she and her husband have the same luck in Oak Harbor, where there will be a grand opening Aug. 24 from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Rock It Out Nutrition is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m.-1 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. (The store is closed one Saturday per month.) For information call Jamie at 419307-2324 or Aaron at 419-961-0963, or email them at jlmead88@me.com. There is a Facebook page and Meade maintains a website, www.goherbalife. com/jamiemeade/en-US,

Tips to avoid putting on the ‘Freshman 15’ Trying to avoid the dreaded “Freshman 15” weight gain? While college is an adjustment, it doesn’t have to mean an adjustment in your pants size. In fact, the Freshman 15 is a myth. Freshman students gain only 2.5 to 3.5 pounds on average during their first year in college, according to a recent study published in Social Science Quarterly. But be advised, the same study finds that college students do gain moderate but steady weight during and after college. So stay vigilant about diet and exercise. Be prepared – “Stress, anxiety and homesickness can all lead to overeating.” warns registered dietitian nutritionist, Kristi King, spokesperson with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Before you snack, ask yourself why you’re doing so. Smart snacks – Late nights and stress can lead to bingeing, so don’t keep junk food on hand. Don’t skip breakfast – “Breakfast wakes up the metabolism and provides energy to the brain and muscles for the day’s activities,” says King. Cafeteria 101 – The dining hall can be a friend or foe. There may be high-calorie foods and oversized portions, but most universities provide nutritious options too. Opt for foods that are baked, broiled, steamed, grilled or roasted, while steering clear of foods that are buttered, fried or swimming in cream sauce. Alcohol – “Alcohol is readily available and can pack on the pounds quickly if you’re not careful,” warns King. For students over 21, King recommends light beer and avoiding drinks mixed with regular soft drinks or sugary juices. Exercise – Regular exercise pays dividends, helping control weight, improve one’s mood and control stress. Get help – If you’d like help creating a healthy meal plan, or want tips for controlling weight, check to see if your university offers nutrition counseling services. More tips to maintain a healthy weight your freshman year and beyond can be found at www.eatright.org.

In doubt…throw it out

‘Freshman 15’ is an expression commonly used referring to the amount of weight gained during the students first year of college.

Department of Health state infant testing The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) has announced that it has added severe combined immunodeficiency disorder (SCID) to the list of diseases that all newborns in Ohio are screened for at birth. The ODH laboratory began screening for SCID July 29, using the same newborn screening specimens already collected to test for 35 other rare disorders. “The new screening item helps move Ohio forward in our fight against infant mortality,” said Dr. Ted Wymyslo, director of the Ohio Department of Health. “More than 1,000 babies die before their first birthday in Ohio. By detecting SCID early, we can help our state’s infants have a healthier start to life and less medical problems down the road.” SCID is a group of genetic disorders that causes profound defects of the immune

system, the body’s line of defense against all types of infections. SCID is one of the most critical immune system problems and occurs in an estimated one in 40,000 newborns. If it is not treated, most affected infants die within the first year of life. The screening is expected to identify approximately three infants with SCID each year in Ohio. Ohio’s newborn screening program began in 1964 with one disorder and now screens for 36 disorders. Approximately 140,000 newborns are screened annually. The blood to be tested is drawn by a simple heel stick within 48 hours of birth. The screening provides an opportunity to detect medical conditions that, if not addressed early, would cause serious problems like developmental delays, major illness or death.

When severe weather hits and the power goes out for a few hours or more, many consumers wonder if it’s safe to consume the foods that are in the refrigerator. The Sandusky County Health Department reminds residents to follow the recommendations provided by the US Food and Drug Administration. When the power goes out: • Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. • The refrigerator will keep food cold for about 4 hours if it is unopened. • Refrigerators should be kept at 40 degrees F or below for proper food storage. Once the power is restored: • Check the temperature inside of your refrigerator and freezer. • If an appliance thermometer was kept in the freezer, check the temperature when the power comes back on. If the freezer thermometer reads 40 degrees F or below, the food is safe and may be refrozen. • If a thermometer has not been kept in the freezer, check each package of food to determine its safety. You can’t rely on appearance or odor. If the food still contains ice crystals or is 40 degrees F or below, it is safe to refreeze or cook. • Refrigerated food should be safe as long as the power was out for no more than four hours. Keep the door closed as much as possible. • Discard any perishable food (such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs or leftovers) that has been above 40 degrees F for two hours or more. Do not use contaminated water to wash dishes, brush your teeth, wash and prepare food, wash your hands, make ice, or make baby formula. And remember, if you are uncertain about the safety of any foods remember, “When in doubt throw it out.” For more information, go to www. alwayschoosehealth.com.

Seniors reason Eagles picked to win Roepke gets first win at Fremont

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Can it really be that long? That’s the question Eastwood boys golf coach Mike Gardner was asking himself when pressed to recall the last time the Eagles won a conference title. The answer is 2005, when they won the title in the now defunct Suburban Lakes League. Eastwood and the rest of the former SLL teams that joined the Northern Buckeye Conference in 2011 have taken a back seat to Woodmore, which won the last SLL title and the first two NBC championships. The Eagles tied for second with Lake last year and finished second to Woodmore in 2011. If their performance at the 18-team Maumee Panther Invitational on Tuesday at Heatherdowns Country Club is in any indication, the Eagles will have to be reckoned with this season. Eastwood finished seventh with a 330 team score. “That’s better than we’ve done there for many years,” said Gardner, in his 42nd year coaching the Eagles. “That was a strong field and I was really pleased with our team score.” The low man for Eastwood was last year’s NBC Player of the Year, Steven Bruning, who shot a 2-over 73 to tie for third out of 106 golfers. Bruning was the eighth player under Gardner to earn league player of the year honors, with the last being Tommy Blanchard in 2011. The SLL did not start naming that award until 1994. Gardner expects Bruning to have another big year. “He has played a lot of golf,” Gardner said. “He played in the Toledo Junior Golf Association tournaments and the American Junior Golf Association, and he went down to Ohio State’s Gray Course and tried to qualify into the final round of the AJGA. He didn’t make it, but he shot a 75. He was rubbing elbows with all the best players in the Midwest. “To become an elite golfer, you have play in some tournaments and hit a lot of practice balls. He did two things you gotta do to become a top-notch player. So far this year, he’s a little more consistent. He just doesn’t get very many shots that aren’t at least satisfactory. He hits very few poor shots. He hits the ball maybe 30-40 yards farther this year with his driver, and he’s a more solid putter this year, too.” The Eagles return the bulk of last year’s team save for Ross Bockbrader , who earned All-NBC second-team honors last season. Bockbrader was the Eagles’ lone district qualifier last fall. Eastwood’s other top players are senior Kyle Waynick, juniors David Krukemyer and River Redman, and sophomore Nick Coffman. Krukemyer overcame a rocky start on Tuesday and finished with an 80 at Heatherdowns. “David is very long off the tee,” Gardner said. “You can’t substitute too much for distance. Last year David was by far the longest hitter on the team. He just needs to channel the direction down the fairway. He’s getting consistent off the tee and his short game is usually solid, and he’s a good putter. He may be the most knowledgeable person on the team about golf – rules, course management, clubs. That doesn’t hurt.”

TIRE & LUBE CENTER

In the AAA Ohio Auto Club Dirt Trucks, Woodville’s Dan Roepke Jr. held off John Ivy the last half of the race to score his first win of the season Saturday at Fremont Speedway. It was the seventh win of his career at the track. “I didn’t know who was behind me but I wanted to see this thing go flag to flag with being able to start up front. I heard Johnny back there but I wasn’t going to give him any room…that’s for sure,” said Roepke beside his Perkins Tree Service/Johnny’s Electric backed #88. “I have to thank Dennis Level. We blew a motor last week and he got one back together. I want to thank my dad and Adam for helping get this thing back together.” Dan Roepke and Jeff Ward brought the field to the green for the 20 lap feature for the dirt trucks with Roepke gaining the advantage. As Roepke pulled away from Ward a torrid battle ensued for third between Matt Foos, John Ivy, Kent Brewer, Shawn Valenti and Art Ball. Ivy would take third on lap three with Valenti moving into fourth with five laps scored. Just as Roepke had built a huge lead Willie Keegan would lose a wheel on lap seven to bring out the caution. A lap and another caution for a tangle involving Brewer and Cory McCaughey. On the ensuing restart Ward would spin. The restart running order with 12 laps remaining was Roepke, Ivy, Valenti, Foos, Ball and Dustin Keegan. Ball would spin on lap 11 and when the green flew Ivy was glued to Roepke’s rear bumper. Following the final caution on lap 13, the last seven laps became the Roepke, Ivy and Valenti show as that trio pulled away from Dustin Keegan, Brian Melnek and Andy Keegan. Roepke would not budge from the bottom groove and went on to the win over Valenti, Ivy, Dustin Keegan and Andy Keegan. Persistent rain showers last Friday evening forced the cancellation of racing on Edward Jones of Clyde/Mike Neill Financial Advisor Night at Attica Raceway Park. Ohio’s Finest Racing speedplant was off Aug. 9 for the annual Attica Fair but will resume racing on Aug. 17. There are just four races left in the 2013 season at Attica Raceway Park. Aug. 17 will be a Kistler Racing Products FAST (Fremont Attica Sprint Title) Championship Series point event for the O’Reilly Auto Part 410 Sprints and a JLH General Contractor FAST Championship Series point event for the Foster’s Auto Body 305 Sprints. The Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Models and Bob’s Machine Shop Dirt Trucks will also be in action. For information go to www.atticaracewaypark.com.

New Stritch coach brings trail of success with him By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

The key is for us to get off to a fast start and see if we can win some games early and have that momentum carry over into the rest of the season.

First-year Cardinal Stritch football coach Brian Wical was hired in December to get the Cardinals’ program going in the right direction. It won’t be easy, but Wical has been through this process before. Wical, 25, became an assistant coach at his high school alma mater, Lima Central Catholic, six years ago and helped turn head coach Jerry Cooper’s Thunderbirds from a .500 program into one of the top Division V programs in Ohio. “We had a lot of success when I was at LCC,” Wical said. “We went 5-5 my first year and we improved every year. We went 9-3 in 2009 and 12-2 in 2010, when we lost in the state semifinals to Youngstown Ursuline. In 2011 we were 10-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state and got upset in the first round of the playoffs. Last year we were 10-0 and lost in the second round. We had won 29 regular-season games in a row when I left.” Wical inherits a Stritch program that is coming off a 1-9 season (0-8 Toledo Area Athletic Conference) and has had more head coaches in the past 10 years than anyone cares to count. As of Aug. 7, this year’s team had 33 players but just four seniors. Wical, however, said he is up for the challenge despite this being his first season as a head coach. “I always wanted to be a head football coach,” he said. “I applied at several places the year before and I got an interview at a couple places. I probably wasn’t ready yet. I spent all of 2012 trying to improve myself as a coach and recognize my own shortcomings. I saw the Stritch job come open and it was only an hour and a half away (from

Brian Wical Lima) and it was a Catholic school. I had an opportunity to apply and see what happens, and here I am a head coach now.” Wical, who played tight end at LCC before graduating in 2006, was the Thunderbirds’ wingbacks coach and offensive coordinator. He has retained two Stritch assistant coaches in defensive coordinator Gary Allen and line coach Tom Katafiasz. “We brought exactly the same things to Stritch from LCC,” Wical said. “We played seven-on-seven this summer with the same

philosophy we ran at LCC, but I don’t have the same caliber athletes we had at LCC. I didn’t think we put (the Cardinals) in a good position to win games. We haven’t competed yet, so it’s hard to make that call. We’ve gone to an old split-back veer offense and we’ve had more success in practice against our guys. I’m trying to blend what I did at LCC and what I want to try to do here a little bit.” Wical said he plans to run a 3-5-3 defense, due to the dearth of defensive line-

men on the roster. “We have 33 guys on the roster and most of our guys are not linemen,” he said. “We thought it might be easier for us to find three quality starting defensive linemen and plug in two solid backups behind them. We’ve got a ton of guys starting at linebacker who are tough and flying around a little bit. I’m hoping by doing that it will allow us to get after teams up front and pressure quarterbacks into making mistakes.” Wical said priority No. 1 is teaching the Cardinals’ players what it takes to win. “I don’t think they’ve ever been pushed to an elite level,” Wical said. “They don’t know what it takes to win consistently. We’re trying to fix that. You want to bring in a winning attitude and a high amount of energy. If it means we do the same repetition 15-20 times, you do it 15-20 times until you do it right. It’s not acceptable to go through the motions. We challenge our kids every day about what are we getting out of being out there.” Cardinal Stritch Athletic Director Craig Meinzer called Wical “an up-and-comer who has a lot of great ideas for the school.” “He has a lot of energy,” Meinzer said. “Hopefully it works out for him and the kids buy into it.” The Cardinals will open the season Aug. 30 against Woodward, a team they beat for their only win last season, with 18 returning lettermen. “I really don’t have an expectation,” Wical said of the 2013 season. “I think we will be able to catch teams off guard. Our schedule sets up pretty favorably where we have some favorable games in the first four weeeks. The key for us is to get off to a fast start and see if we can win some games early and have that momentum carry over into the rest of the season.”

Nate Dussel wins battle in Fremont Credit Union feature Just like the previous week, Bradner’s Nate Dussel was locked in a great battle in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature at Fremont Speedway. After a side-by-side fight with Alvin Roepke from lap 8 to lap 19, Dussel was finally able to slide into the lead and went on to score his fifth win of the season at Fremont. It is the 10th overall win of 2013 for Dussel who owns five victories at Attica Raceway Park as well. It was the 12th career win at Fremont for Dussel who flipped his car doing victory donuts. “About every time I pull in here one of the track guys asks if I’m going to do donuts if I win. I told them it’s been too wet to do donuts…I found that out tonight,” joked Dussel of his Berrier Fabrication/Kylynn Mfg./Gressman Powersports/Dussel Welding/Conrad Transport/Kistler Racing Products backed machine. “This is absolutely unbelievable. It’s sweet to get it done in front of all the fans. Alvin did a hell of a job racing me hard and clean,” added Dussel. “I want to thank Scott (Gressman). He’s done so much for my career. I just can’t thank him enough. I have to thank Tommy Dussel and Bill Berrier and his family.” The win really tightens up the point battle for the JLH General Contractor FAST

Championship Series title. In the Computer Man Sports Compacts Grand Rapids, Ohio’s Brandon Myers held off challenges from Amanda Shammo to score his third win of the season. It is the fifth of his career at Fremont. “I have to thank my grandpa for all he does and grandma for letting him do it. I have to thank Mom and Dad for all their support,” said Myers beside his BG Radiator/Mark Shultz Signs/R&R Repair/Loren Sautter backed No. 32. T.J. Michael and Alvin Roepke would bring the 305 sprints to the green for their 25-lap feature. Michael would grab the lead but Roepke kept racing to his outside as Dussel moved into third followed by Paul Weaver, Jordan Ryan and Dustin Dinan. Roepke drove into the lead on lap three and the leaders quickly moved into heavy lapped traffic by the sixth circuit. Ryan would smack the front stretch wall on lap six bringing out the caution. The restart order was Roepke, Michael, Dussel, Weaver, Dinan and Dean Jacobs. Dussel would move into second on lap eight and closed on Roepke as Michael was locked in a spirited battle with Weaver for third. Roepke and Dussel raced side by side around the track over the next few laps before Michael’s motor expired on lap 12 as Steve Rando and Seth Schneider spun to avoid the stalled machine. When the green reappeared Roepke and Dussel continued their fantastic battle with

Nate Dussel (Photo by Action Photos) Weaver, Jacobs and Dinan staying within striking distance. Dinan would smack the turn two wall on lap 15 ending his run. Roepke would get a fantastic restart and maintain his lead over Dussel with Weaver, Jacobs and Tyler Gunn giving chase. With seven laps to go Dussel drove to Roepke’s outside and the duo continued their side-by-side dance for the lead with

Weaver, Jacobs, Gunn and John Ivy within striking distance. Dussel would finally get around Roepke for the lead with five laps to go as they raced into lapped traffic again. Weaver would take second on lap 23 but couldn’t close on Dussel who drove to the win. Weaver, Roepke, Jacobs and Ivy would round out the top five. Taylor Holland and Chevy Farmer brought the field to the green for the Computer Man Sports Compacts. But it was third starter Myers who jumped into the lead over Amanda Shammo, Holland, Andrew Schroeder and Brandon Leighton. Leighton and Schroeder would move into third and fourth by lap two. And with four laps in, Shammo was pressuring Myers for the lead. Myers was able to hold on for the win over Shammo, Evan Patynko, McKenzie Biddle and Holland.

2011. Burton was known as the infamous “Mr. Softball” during his role with a fourman traveling softball team, of which he was the star pitcher. “His great talent of hurling softballs at speeds of 100 miles an hour has thrilled many fans,” Erard said. “He will always remain in our hearts and our prayers.” Hidden ball tricks, pitching from second base and ripping the leather covering off the baseball and injecting it with lead — those were just a few of the shenanigans that came with the traveling softball group that was a popular item throughout the Midwest in the 1980s. The group, which was made up of just four players, was a fixture in summer entertainment for a number of years, from its founding in 1978 to its dissolution in ‘85. The founder and manager of the group was Erard, a man who was active on the local sports scene. Erard coached a number

Erard says Burton gone, but his memory continues By J. Patrick Eaken and Yaneek Smith sports@presspublications.com Oregon resident Larry Erard says people still ask him about famous fast pitch softball pitcher Gerald Burton, even though Burton passed away at age 75 on August 30,

There are many situations where we experience loss ambiguously. A family member suffering from a brain injury or who is becoming senile certainly fits the criteria for ambiguous loss, because they are physically present but psychologically absent. Homesickness is also a case of ambiguous loss because the person missed can be psychologically present, on the phone, for instance, but be physically absent. Choosing to move away from home or to break up with a romantic partner are clear cases of ambiguous loss. Missing persons, and cases where someone is lost are particularly difficult forms of ambiguous

loss. In some cases, the ambiguity resolves, people regain their health or missing persons are found, but often the ambiguity remains and there may never be closure. Dealing with these situations requires the ability to live with ambiguity. Usually there is no easy answer, and the temptation to solve these problems only exacerbates the experience of ambiguous loss, because it holds out the prospect of closure or resolution when there is none. “Lord, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you. May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry." Psalm 88:1-2

The members of the four-man team included catcher Don “Chopper” Schmeltz, shortstop Doug Brummett, second baseman Greg Christian and Burton. Schmeltz, the longtime coach of the Pemberville Post 183 American Legion baseball team and former Eastwood coach, replaced Mr. Softball’s initial catcher, John Pirrwitz, who left the group. After Mr. Baseball, Christian took a long stint as the Cardinal Stritch head varsity baseball coach. Erard, who also served as the broadcaster for Mr. Softball’s games, had his son, Mark, serve as the team’s bat boy, where he occasionally got in on the action. They were something of a Harlem Globetrotters-like act — a collection of goofballs who used softball as a medium by which to behave in a silly manner in the hope that spectators would find the event
