Intense search

Woman is reunited with her dog Tabatha Gerathy got the call she was waiting for. Gerathy had been looking for her dog, Tikaani, since it wandered from her home on Pickle Road in Oregon on July 26. She distributed fliers about the eight month old husky throughout Oregon and East Toledo with no success Her luck changed on Sunday, Aug. 10 after an article and photo about the dog appeared in The Press. Gerathy received an anonymous tip about the location of the white husky with ice blue eyes. . “Someone had recognized the photo in The Press,” said Gerathy. The tipster believed a couple in Northwood had her. Gerathy’s search began on July 26 after her husband let Tikaani outside and turned his back for a second before he realized she was gone. Someone soon spotted the all white dog at Kroger on Woodville Road, which is just a block from Gerathy’s house. Then there were the sightings in East Toledo. Desperate to find her, Gerathy had exhaustively circulated fliers in every neighborhood where Tikaani was last sighted. She had papered East Toledo, in particular, with fliers after the dog was spotted by several people in the area of Freedom and

Albert streets. She also made frequent trips to Lucas County Canine Care & Control (dog warden) in hopes someone had turned her in After she got the call on Sunday, she took The Press article with her and went to the house. “I knocked on the door. A man opened it, and I handed him the article. I asked him if he saw Tikaani.” Her dog then jumped up on the door, excited to see her. The man said, `Yeah, she definitely knows you.”’ Gerathy said the couple was helpful and happy she was reunited with her dog. “They took really good care of her, she was nice and clean, her nails were trimmed,” she said. She asked why they hadn’t called Lucas County Canine Care & Control.

“They said they would hate to see a dog like that put to sleep,” she said. Unbeknownst to many, the Lucas County Canine Care & Control has a lost dog registry that helps people find their dogs. “That way, they’re in the system. You don’t have to turn lost dogs in,” said Gerathy. The couple also did not see any of Gerathy’s fliers. Most were posted in East Toledo, though she had distributed some in Northwood at locations with a lot of foot traffic, such as the Meijer store. It seems the sightings of Tikaani in the area of Freedom and Albert streets were accurate, she said. “The man who picked her up was on his way home from work and was driving down Holmes Street when he saw her running down Albert Street on Saturday (August 2). She just came right up to him. She’s not skittish at all,” she said. “I’m guessing for that first week all the sightings in East Toledo were accurate. When she was picked up on Saturday is when we had stopped getting sightings in that area.” When she brought the dog home, her two young daughters were “screaming and jumping for joy,” she said. “We finally got our dog back after two weeks and two days of searching,” she said. “I was beginning to lose hope. The

Oregon council on Monday approved a contract with ARCADIS, US Inc., for additional design engineering services for raw water treatment improvements for the water treatment plant for $295,000. “Our water treatment plant certainly is a priority to ensure the safety of our drinking water and I believe council has felt strongly about this also,” said Mayor Mike Seferian. He met with Administrator Mike Beazley, Public Service Director Paul Roman, and Doug Wagner, superintendent of water treatment, and decided that using ozone ultraviolet light in the pretreatment process would reduce the chance of having potential problems in the future. “It is probably the best for our treatment plant that would ensure we have the best opportunity to treat the water without any detections from many pollutants that would be out in the lake,” said Seferian. “We also thought it would be the most cost effective for us in combination with active carbon to keep us in a situation where we could control the destiny of whatever is in the lake.” Seferian said the city wants to stay ahead of the curve and not be put in the position Toledo found itself in earlier this month when high levels of a toxin were found in a water sample taken from Toledo’s Collins Park Water treatment plant. Toledo’s detection of microcystin, which can cause abnormal liver function in humans and animals, prompted Toledo to issue a three day ban on the use of its drinking water. Oregon has its own water treatment plant that provides water to many communities in the area, which were unaffected by the toxin affecting Toledo’s water. Microcystin is produced by blue green algae plumes in Lake Erie. The algae is believed to be fed mainly by phosphorus from agricultural runoff. Water treatment plants use activated carbon to treat algae. “With the addition of ozone ultraviolet pretreatment in combination with activated Continued on page 2

Water treatment Continued from front page carbon, we put ourselves in a great position to deal with whatever challenges the lake would deal our way,” said Seferian. “With the concerns that are out there, we want to act as fast as possible. It’s the best solution we could come up with. We came to a consensus that that would be the best that we could do.” Beazley said the city is confident in the quality of its water. “It is apparent though, as we look at the problem, the algae challenge, among other things out there, is going to be there in the foreseeable future. It’s important to continue on the path we’re on. We feel really good about the ozone alternative, but we want to make sure we look at it and get the engineering done and then present the options. I will also note that, it is possible, depending on what recommendations come from the Ohio EPA, that we could on very short notice go out and have to acquire some additional testing equipment. That’s something we could see in an ordinance at the next meeting. It’s just important for us to get this right. We feel very good about what we produce from the plant. But we might go out and look for additional testing equipment if there are expected changes in the protocol for testing.” Roman said he has been talking in recent weeks with many experts on water treatment. “And ozone keeps popping up as being very effective in treating microcystin, algaes, and organics. It is a disinfectant,” said Roman. Another benefit of treating water with ozone is that it reduces the use of chorine and its byproduct, trihalomethane, an environmental pollutant. “There’s a lot of organics in our raw water already and when we add disinfectant chlorine, there’s a byproduct called trihalomethane, and sometimes it can get high and that is a problem. If you add ozone, you’d be adding less chlorine, and have less trihalomethane,” said Roman. He said there may be grants available to fund improvements to the water treatment plant.

Growers warned

Valuations, property taxes to increase By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Ohio Farmers Union is advising its members to brace for a sizeable increase in the taxable value of their land. Ted Finnarn, a Darke County attorney who represents the OFU on an advisory committee for the Ohio Department of Taxation, said the Current Agricultural Use Valuations will “increase substantially” for tax year 2014, effective for taxes to be paid in 2015. For property tax purposes, farmland devoted to commercial agriculture may be valued according to its current use rather than its “highest and best” potential use. By permitting values to be set below market values, the CAUV normally results in a lower tax bill for working farmers. The formula to calculate CAUVs uses a five-year average of crop prices and production costs and factors in soil types and interest rates. The result gives a valuation per acre for different soil types. Finnarn, who’s served on the advisory committee for almost 40 years, said that CAUVs had been artificially low in the past – largely because they reflected crop prices that had been low compared to expenses. (Federal farm payments haven’t been used in the calculation.) About 10 years ago, CAUVs got so low in some counties that farmers were only paying taxes of $3 or $4 per acre on some of their farm real estate.

Chart shows how market prices of crops have risen in the past three years along with the market value of farmland. Source: Ohio Farmers Union With crop prices rising between 2008 and 2012 – and interest rates remaining low – it was inevitable that the CAUV formula had to be adjusted and farmers would realize an increase in valuations, Finnarn said. He is cautioning growers that even though they may be paying more on their tax bill, they should realize the highest CAUVs in the state will still be only be about $5,030 per acre. To qualify for the CAUV program, land must meet certain requirements during the three years prior to the owner filing an application. Ten or more acres must be devoted solely to commercial farming use or, if less than 10 acres are devoted to farming, the farm must produce an average yearly gross income of at least $2,500. Applications for CAUV must be filed with county auditors.

Husky found Continued from front page article in The Press was my last hope.” Tikaani, which means “wolf” in Innuit (Alaska), will get a microchip implanted for permanent identification on Sunday, said Gerathy. The dog had identification tags, but they were removed just before she was lost because the clinking sound annoyed her daughters. When Gerathy got Tikaani back, the tags went back on the collar. Gerathy, who plans on training Tikaani as a service dog to visit nursing homes and hospitals, said her dog was lying on the living room floor “like she was never gone” chewing on a bone. “We missed her terribly. We are so happy she is home.”

Young anglers invited Anglers 15 and younger can fish on Saturdays in August at the designated Youth Fishing Pond at Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife. Loaner equipment and bait will be provided, and a Division staff member will be available to assist, all free of charge thanks to the purchases of Ohio fishing licenses and federal contributions from the Sport Fish Restoration Fund. Only youths age 15 and under accompanied by a parent or guardian are allowed to fish in the pond located around the Sportsmen’s Migratory Bird Center. Young anglers may catch as many fish as they want, but they may keep only six channel catfish per day. Magee Marsh Wildlife Area is located at 13229 W. SR 2, Oak Harbor.

Volunteers power wash Pemberville Elementary Community members came together over a four-day period to clean the outside of the Pemberville Elementary before the start of the Pemberville Free Fair. The building, built in 1938, was power washed to remove discoloration from the limestone. Windows and windowsills were also cleaned in time for the opening of the Pemberville Free Fair. The volunteers, who support renovation of the building, say the building is a focal point of the community and plays a large part in the success of the annual fair,

adding that their efforts resulted in an estimated saving to the Eastwood School District of $6,000. The school board three weeks ago took the final step to place a bond issue on the November ballot to fund the construction of an elementary school on the main campus. If passed, the bond would generate up to $11 million for an 80,000-square-foot building to house students in kindergarten through the fifth grades now attending Pemberville and Luckey buildings. Those supplying labor, food, financial

support and equipment to the volunteer’s efforts include businessman, neighbors, veterans, a former school board member, Eastwood graduates and students. Contributions were from Andy Schacht, Beeker Landscaping; Rick and Jason Beeker, Henline Construction; Todd, Zach and Noah Henline, Romarc Construction; Roger and Nancy Mullholand, Joe Hirzel, Denny Henline, Chet Greisweld, Pisanello’s Pizza; Sean and Crystal Crosby, Victor and Eileen Schuerman, Karl and Inga Offerman, Sue South, and Tom Davidson.

and will contain a four digit lot code ranging between 4257 through 4286. The sausage subject to recall is in bulk and rope, although may not be listed on the label as such. The corned beef was produced between July 16, 2014 and July 30, 2014 and will contain a four digit lot code ranging between 4258 through 4272. All beef pastrami is being recalled regardless of lot code. The products were discovered as a result of a records review conducted by Ohio Department of Agriculture Inspectors.

Water price gouging investigated By Press Staff Writer After sending letters to 58 Toledo and area businesses to substantiate the pricing of bottled water during the city’s water crisis, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine’s office said consumers may still contact his office if they suspect they were victims of price gouging. Consumers should submit as much documentation as possible with their complaints and call 800-282-0515 or visit www. OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov. While Ohio doesn’t have a statute defining price gouging, the state’s Consumer Sales Practices Act prohibits “unfair, deceptive and unconscionable sales practices.” According to the attorney general, a practice could be considered unconscionable if the supplier knew at the time of the transaction that the price was substantially higher than the price at which similar goods or services could be readily obtained. It also could be considered an unfair and deceptive practice to dramatically increase the price of in stock products solely in response to current events. DeWine said his office on Aug. 8 sent

letters to businesses requesting they substantiate their water sales prices from June 1 to Aug. 1; Aug. 2-4, which was during the city’s ban on drinking municipal water, and Aug. 5, after the ban was lifted. The letters also asked the business to provide information on how much they paid for the water. DeWine said his office has received “numerous complaints.” “Although Ohio does not currently have a statute that defines what price gouging is, we are working with consumers and businesses to gather all the facts,” he said. “It is possible that the facts will show that no violations occurred, but we want to make sure that the businesses substantiate any price increases and ensure they conformed with Ohio law.” Copies of the consumer complaints were sent along with the letters to businesses. They are being asked to respond to the attorney general by Aug. 22. Users of the Toledo water system relied on bottled water and other sources the weekend of Aug. 2-4 when the city issued the advisory due to elevated levels of microcystin toxin.

The Sad Story of Elmore’s Clara Blinn

American West tragedy rooted in Ohio’s Black Swamp By Lou Hebert Press Contributing Writer

“

During the long journey of my news career, I traveled a portion of life’s road in the colorful American West where I found myself easily seduced by the legends, the lore and the history of this much romanticized landscape. Be they gunslingers, gamblers, soldiers, ranchers, farmers, doctors, merchants, or fortune seekers, they shared a common heart and braved the crucible of the broad plains to discover new and promising lives, or in some cases, tragic and cruel deaths. Such was the case of Elmore native Clara Blinn. Born as Clara Harrington in Ottawa County, she later moved with her family to Perrysburg where her father ran a hotel in the building we would come to know as Mills Hardware. By the time the petite and pretty Clara was 19 years of age she married Richard Blinn who had just returned from his service in the Civil War. Soon after, the young couple with their infant son headed west to forge a new future in a new land. Instead, they found themselves caught in the middle of one of the most infamous clashes involving the U.S. Cavalry and the Native Americans on the Western Plains. The Blinns, along with other family members, left in early 1868. While some in the family opted to make their new home in Ottawa, Kansas, Clara and Richard continued on to the rugged eastern plains of the Colorado territory, to run a stage stop about 30 miles from the Kansas border. Within months, they found they were barely able to scratch out an existence on the sparsely populated high desert plains. By late summer, they joined an eastward wagon train to return to the gentler life in Ottawa, Kansas. On October 7, while on the Santa Fe Trail near the Kansas border, however, their wagon party was set upon by a band of about 200 Cheyenne. The Indians circled the small wagon train and shot flaming arrows into the covered wagons. The wagons burned and they were all pinned down for days. Some of the 10 men in the wagon train were wounded. Richard Blinn managed to escape the violence, but watched in horror as his wife Clara and son Willie were captured. Clara and her son Willie soon found themselves in the sprawling camp of Chief Black Kettle along the banks of the Washita River in the Indian Territory of what is now Western Oklahoma. It was assumed that Clara, like most white women held captive by Indians at that time, would suffer the so called “fate worse than death”, likely becoming the probable victim of repeated sexual assaults and degradations. Women were commonly expected to kill themselves rather than face the torment of their “savage” captors. Women who did not commit suicide, but escaped or were set free, frequently became outcasts in their own families and shunned by their “white” communities. It was a different time and different moral code. For the feisty Clara Blinn, survival is what she chose and shortly after being taken hostage, she managed to smuggle a letter out of the Indian camp pleading that she and her son be saved. It said in part;

Whoever you may be, I thank you for your kindness to me and my child....If only you could buy us from the Indians... If it is not too far from the camp and you are not afraid to come, I pray that you will try....

“

could buy us from the Indians with ponies or anything and let me come and stay with you until I could get word to my friends, they would pay you and I would work and do all that I could for you. If it is not too far from the camp and you are not afraid to come, I pray that you will try....If you can do nothing, write to W.T. Harrington, my father, in Ottawa, Franklin County, Kansas. Tell him we are with the Cheyenne and they say when white men make peace, we can go home. Tell him to write to the governor of Kansas about it and for them to make peace. ..My name is Mrs. Clara Blinn, my little boy Willie Blinn, he is two years old. Do all you can for me”

over the sleeping encampment, Custer’s band of musicians struck up his favorite rendition of the Irish drinking song Garry Owen. The soldiers charged on horseback and the firing commenced. The music provided an eerie backdrop to the screams of the Indians running from their teepees as the rifles barked. In 15 minutes, it was mostly over. Scattered about the camp, the bodies of Indian men, women and children lay bleeding to death in the crimson-etched snow, Chief Black Kettle and his wife, among them. Soon after, Custer ordered his troops to burn the village and to shoot the 800 ponies so they could not be used by other Indians. There is no evidence that Custer knew about, or that he ever tried to find the Perrysburg woman and her young son. In Custer’s hasty retreat he left behind his second-incommand, Major Joe Elliot and a detachment of 18 troops who had pursued some fleeing Indians. Custer was strongly criticized for that action and many of his troops never forgave him. It would be two weeks later that Custer would finally return to the Washita battlefield site, or what some critics contend is a “massacre site” to find Major Elliott. (It should noted that Elliot also had NW Ohio connections, as he had been the Toledo Superintendent of Schools after the Civil War). On December 7, Elliot and his men were found dead and badly mutilated in a camp just a few miles away from the Washita. It was here that soldiers also found the frozen bodies of the young Clara Blinn and her son Willie. Clara had been shot twice in the head, her chest mutilated. There are conflicting reports as to whether

“

The tears will fall in spite of me when I think of the happy days that are gone to return no more. A true wife and a kind mother. I would not want a better partner to travel through this world than my darling Clara.

The letter was taken to military authorities at nearby Ft. Cobb and orders were approved that a trader could barter with Black Kettle for their release. But there was little time because others within the U.S. Military had other ambitions-namely, Lt. Colonel George Armstrong Custer, who along with the 7th Cavalry, had been on a mission to quell the bloody Indian raids of 1868 and remove the Indians from those lands. (Custer, it must be noted, also had connections to our area, for his adopted hometown was nearby Monroe, Michigan, and his brothers, Tom and Boston Custer, who fought with him in the Indian Campaigns, hailed from the Wood County hamlet of Tontogany. Both later died at Little Bighorn with brother George.) On the frigid and snowy morning of November 27, Custer and troops found the winter camp of Black Kettle. It was the opportunity Custer had been waiting for. Within minutes, as the day’s first light crept

she had been scalped. Willie had injuries to his head. Some accounts say he had been thrown against a tree. As Perrysburg historian Judith Justus notes from her research, “There have been various scenarios written about their demise. It is a mystery.” There is also no definitive consensus among historians as to how they died or who killed them. Some accounts blame the Cheyenne. Others contend it was the Arapahoe. Still, others offer that it was Kiowa leader Satanta who killed Clara and Willie. And there are even theories, and some reports, that it was Custer’s soldiers who killed Clara, mistaken for an Indian during the fog of the battle. We may never know the truth. But the sad demise of this young woman from Wood County and her son continues to occupy the center of one of the most controversial episodes of the American Indian Campaign and the exploits of George Custer. As for Clara’s husband Richard Blinn, this too is a sad chapter, for he did not know until months later what had actually happened to his wife and child. Following their capture in October of 1868, Blinn roamed the plains of Colorado and the Indian territories in painful torment searching for his family. In his personal diary dated January 3, 1869 he wrote: Life looks dark and dreary to me. I wish I was with my wife, dead or alive. The tears will fall in spite of me when I think of the happy days that are gone to return no more. A true wife and a kind mother. I would not want a better partner to travel through this world than my darling Clara. But now she is no more, I hope she is in a better world than this. A few days after this diary entry, Blinn would learn his darling Clara and Willie were found dead at Washita River. He promised to bring them home for burial, but never did. Never could. Their bodies now lie in a numbered grave at Fort Gibson, Oklahoma after being transferred from an original gravesite at Ft. Arbuckle. It was from those first graves, that Blinn in 1869, took two small pebbles and carried them with him for the rest of his life. Richard Blinn would be happy to know that Clara and son Willie are not forgotten. Her story and her courage are now remembered and honored by recent generations. There is a new memorial to her erected at the Washita River Battle Site in Oklahoma, while a tombstone stands at Hope Cemetery in Ottawa, Kansas near her parents’ graves. And, here in Northwest Ohio, at Ft. Meigs Cemetery in Perrysburg, a memorial grave marker was placed in Clara’s honor next to the grave of Richard Blinn. Her loving husband died in 1873 with the pain still in his heart and two small stones still in his pocket. My special appreciation to historian Judith Justus of Perrysburg who has researched and written extensively on the Blinn story and who brings to its telling, a unique Perrysburg perspective. Also my gratitude to the Historical Records Archive of Franklin County Kansas where many of the records of the story are kept and were made available. Lou Hebert has more on this story as well as other local history stories on his website www.toledogazette.wordpress.com.

Library move

Riverview aids in call for blood donations William Krieger snacked on chips and juice as he waited on his bride of two months to arrive at the table. The two had just given a pint of blood each during an American Red Cross blood drive at Riverview Healthcare Campus on a mild, mid-August day. The retirees slipped away from their early afternoon routine to make the donation that took just over an hour of their time. “I used to give blood when I worked at Brush Wellman. But I hadn’t done it in a while,” Krieger said. “We saw it in the paper and just thought we should do it,” Virginia HelleKrieger added. “It’s a need.” Afterward, they planned to return home do some chores together and spend time with their dog and cats. In all, 17 pints were collected at the Aug. 12 event, according to Holly Blanchard, who headed up the blood drive on behalf of the Northwest Ohio Chapter of the American Red Cross. All types of blood are in demand now and every little bit counts, Blanchard noted. The hectic summer season puts a strain on the blood supply because of the increased number of accidents across the area and reduced number of donations dur-

ing the vacation season. The Northwest Ohio chapter recently put out an urgent call for people to roll up their sleeves and give because of a looming blood shortage. In late July, donations had been down 8 percent over the previous 11 weeks, resulting in about 80,000 fewer donations than expected. The chapter had already taken a big hit earlier in the year when historic snowfalls caused the cancellation of many blood drives. Red Cross officials had hoped to make up the difference in spring and summer. No such luck though. And the shortfall is significant enough that the Red Cross could experience an emergency situation in the coming weeks, according to the chapter’s website. In addition, the Independence Day holiday falling on Friday reduced the number of blood drives scheduled in early July. Many sponsors did not host drives because people took vacations either over the long weekend or for the entire week. In an average summer week, about 4,400 Red Cross blood drives are scheduled, compared to Independence Day week when only 3,450 drives occurred, officials say. “Hospital patients continue to need lifesaving blood this summer, and they’re relying on the generosity of volunteer donors to give them hope in the days and weeks ahead,” said Michael Thome, CEO for the Red Western Lake Erie Blood Services Region. “Please, consider giving

the gift of life. Each day donations come up short, less blood is available for patients in need – and you never know when it could be your loved one needing blood.” Riverview’s event is considered a mini-blood drive, said Riverview’s customer service director Kim Geldien, who coordinated the event. Staff and family members of the patients signed up to given donations at the drive now in its 14th year at the Salem Township facility. But a number of community members with no ties to the facility also joined in the effort. They could sign up by phone or online. Helen Leiser of Oak Harbor was among them. She tries to give blood regularly, she said. And when she does she thinks of family and friends over the years who may have needed blood to help get them through surgeries. To schedule an appointment or to get more information, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood. org. A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

The Black Swamp Conservancy is seeking input on its programs and operations. A 10-question, online survey has been emailed to the land trust’s supporters, asking them how they learned about the conservancy that was founded in 1993 by residents concerned by the rate of development in rural Northwest Ohio. The questionnaire also asks respondents to prioritize the types of landscapes the conservancy should preserve: open spaces and parks for recreation, farmland and land and waterways for hunting and fishing as well as what programs they’d like to be offered, ranging from nature walks and birding tours to geocaching, concerts and working farm events and nature photography. Which of the conservancy’s preserves is the most popular with visitors is another question the survey addresses. They include South Shore Park Wetlands (Oregon), Pearson Metropark Wetlands (Oregon) and Meadowbrook Marsh (Marblehead). The conservancy is using The Institute for Conservation Leadership as a third party administrator of the survey and answers will be kept confidential. Those who provide contact information will be entered into a drawing to win an unframed 24 x 36 print “Ancient Oak” taken by nature photographer Art Weber on a conservancy-protected property. Since its formation, the conservancy has preserved more than 13,300 acres of family farms, meadows, woods and wetlands, according to the 2014 annual report. The counties with the largest amount of preserved acreage are: Fulton – 3,428 acres; Seneca – 3,300 acres; Sandusky – 2,918 acres and Wood – 1.115 acres. The conservancy is making plans for improvements to open the Sawyer Quarry Preserve for public access. The Perrysburg Township property has been owned by Ann Sawyer and her late husband Charles, who, in 1999, partnered with the conservancy to preserve 11 acres with a conservation easement . The property had been one of the first limestone quarries in the area and was a family retreat for five generations. This year, the family expanded the protected area to include all 61 acres and donated the land to the Wood County Park District. Starting last year and finishing early in 2014, volunteers planted more than 20,000 trees at the Water’s Edge Preserve and seeded a small prairie with native grasses and wildflowers. For information about the Black Swamp Conservancy call 419-872-5263.

Your Voice on the Street: by Stephanie Szozda

The Press Poll

What is your favorite memory of Robin Williams?

Do you feel comfortable drinking water coming from the City of Toledo? Yes No

Marina Zapata Toledo "I like the "Patch Adams" movie a lot because he made the kids so happy. It was a very heartwarming ſlm."

Michele Zapata Oregon "Mrs. Doubtſre," because it was hilarious and I was really looking forward to the sequel."

Politics pollutes lake To the editor: I would like to respond to the articles in The Press about what happened with the City of Toledo’s water system. In the first place, they knew there was a problem in the water system and something could happen months ago. John Kasich is the governor and a Republican – and he’s like the Republican Party in Washington, which does not want to do anything about infrastructure, including roads, bridges and the Great Lakes. To them, it is all about defeating this president and keeping his poll numbers down. These Republicans do not want to do anything unless it benefits the National Rifle Association, the wealthy, and gas and oil producers. They could care less about Lake Erie or any of the Great Lakes. Hopefully, we will put another Democrat in the White House in 2016. This will happen again with Lake Erie unless something is done soon. My comments are based on conversations I have had with Republicans and Democrats in Washington. Both parties need to come together and agree on getting something done and leave politics out of it. Personally, I am getting disgusted with all of it. Ernie Frohlich Walbridge

Poor stewards To the editor: One of our leading writers on environmental subjects, William Ashworth, is the author of the 1986 book, “The Late Great Lakes (an Environmental History).” In commenting on this book, The Washington Post wrote the following, “Ashworth’s message is clear and worthy. The Great Lakes are in terrible danger and the greatest single source of that danger is not just mining or erosion or toxic rainfall but the lakes’ ‘ancient enemy,’ complacen-

Jeff Sellers Toledo "Dead Poets Society," at the very end of the movie where they all stand up on their desks saying, 'Oh captain, my captain.'"

Letters

Marion Majewski Genoa "The movie "Mrs. Doubtſre." He was just so funny when he was taking care of those kids."

Tara Taylor Millbury "My favorite was from "Mork and Mindy" when he did the 'Nanu-Nanu' sign. I remember when I was in elementary school all the boys used to run around on the playground and mimic him."

cy and apathy.” Two other men, Bernard Lown and Evjueni Chazov stated, “We must convince each generation that they are transient passengers on this planet earth. It does not belong to them. They are not free to doom generations yet unborn. They are not at liberty to erase humanity’s past nor dim its future.” In short, liberty is not license. We found out many years ago what happens when we use a precious body of fresh water as a toilet, dumping anything and everything into an irreplaceable resource. We upset the natural balance of our “great” lake, forgetting that is has limited mechanisms to cleanse itself. Everything flows into it, but not much can flow out of it. The definition of a lake contains the words, “an inland body of usually fresh water, larger than a pool or pond, generally formed by some obstruction in the course of flowing water.” The Lake Erie algae and its toxic spawn are reminders of our apathy. We have elected officials from this area and they have significant seniority. They should be able to help us with long-term funding in these days of economic hardship. Many years ago, someone quoted to me the following from the lips of an EPA official, “The EPA exists to issue permits so people can pollute legally.” God blessed us with abundant freshwater resources. We have been poor stewards. Judith M. Junga Toledo

Paid to pollute? To the editor: While Gov. John Kasich received kudos for his election year photo

op to clear the Maumee River silt from western Lake Erie, he also signed into law a bill gutting Ohio’s renewable clean energy program. This paved the way for electric companies like AEP which want to keep Ohio’s oldest and dirtiest coal power plants operating for years to come. The best part? They want you and me to pay for it. AEP wants to charge customers an extra estimated $117 million to subsidize two dirty coal plants which are not competitive with market prices. And this is just the beginning. AEP’s petition with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio is a test balloon for other utilities. If successful, they too will follow this precedent to charge customers more to keep Ohio’s polluting and more expensive coal plants on the power grid. Paul Szymanowski Curtice Editor’s note: The $117 million figure is an estimate by the Ohio Consumers Counsel. The company estimate is $52 million. A provision of the AEP proposal would establish an agreement rider to purchase power from coal plants AEP jointly owns with the Ohio Valley Electric Corporation, which the company claims will act as a hedge against market volatility.

Sludge to blame? To the editor: Facility 3 in the mouth of the Maumee River was built to store the dredging from the shipping channel. This would have been great for Lake Erie but the City of Toledo has been putting thousands of tons of sludge annually

85% Yes 15% No

for the last 10 years or so in the facility. Sludge is the by-product from the Toledo wastewater treatment plant. Facility 3 is almost 1½ miles into the Maumee Bay and the shipping channel lies to the north east and the bay to the southwest. The sludge should have been put in a facility that is miles from any fresh water. Who’s to say that leakage from the facility dike or run-off during heavy rain on the facility isn’t one reason for the algae bloom? What are they doing with the contaminated water that is in the sludge? I’m writing this letter because Toledo officials are blaming everybody but themselves. They blame farmers, homeowners, and the City of Detroit for the bloom. I’m a boater and have been fishing western Lake Erie for more than 50 years. Harry Mack Oregon

Correction Toledo’s hotels did not close during the water crisis as reported in last week’s Press. However, it was tainted water for drinking and showering which prompted the National Amateur Baseball Federation to cancel the final two days of its tournament, resulting in the loss of 200 rooms. The Press regrets the error.

Quite often the answer is right there in front of you Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

“

“The answer was right there in front of me the whole time!” is something we have all said ourselves and heard from others. You don’t see it sooner because of the tendency to doubt the existence of obvious solutions. Life is filled with questions, problems, obstacles, and challenges. Searching for answers can easily be frustrating and overwhelming. We gravitate toward elaborate solutions. People use many strategies in their quest for answers. One approach is constantly moving from one place to another. The objective is to escape from problems for which we think there is no easy solution. Another strategy employed is hopping from one job to another. A person’s tenure at each job may be a year or less. New jobs are sought with the motivation of more pay, promotions, a better boss, nicer coworkers, or improved working conditions. It’s impossible to outrun recurring problems. This is because you are the one constant in the equation. That is the reason problems follow you wherever you go. Then there are those who blame other people or circumstances rather than looking for answers. They abdicate responsibility for their lives by making endless excuses for why situations are never their fault. Yet another scenario is simply giving up; either ignoring a situation or passively waiting for things to improve. People even go so far as pretending a problem doesn’t exist at all.

You can’t change who they are...

There is a natural inclination to overly complicate matters, which makes it more difficult to find answers. This approach is self-defeating in that it leads to action inhibiting discouragement. Step back and honestly assess existing cause and effect connections. What actions have you been taking and what are the results they have led to? A change in your behavior is required in order to change the results. Spend time and effort analyzing a problem. Break it down into manageable components. Look to identify the root cause of your situation. Simple solutions are more prevalent than complex ones. Human nature drives us to overlook easy answers that

are right in front of us, while we search for involved solutions we think are needed to solve seemingly complex problems. You have within you the ability to find the answers you need. This process begins with a mindset of, “I can.” It is impossible to accomplish something you don’t believe is doable. Next you must engage your willpower by being willing to do whatever it takes. Discard all excuses you have been using. Now you are ready to formulate a list of possible simple solutions. Opening your mind to all possibilities helps you to find the answer in front of you. Start with the easiest approach and work your way up from there. Often, the simplest plan is also the most effective. Don’t get caught up in complexities. For example, suppose you have a friend who is always complaining about an endless litany of problems whenever you get together. Every encounter with them leaves you feeling completely drained. You can’t change who they are and you can’t solve all of their problems. The simplest solution is to reduce the amount of time you spend with this friend. The answers you need are closer and simpler than you realize. Stop looking off into the distance. When you look in the mirror, the answers you need are right in front of you. You are the one responsible for your life. Within you is more ability to solve problems than you have been utilizing. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www.BryanGolden.

Renewed emphasis on athletics, goal for new principal Page Two

by John Szozda

“

...it’s a draw, an excitement and it elevates everything else around it.

“

Todd Deem will need spirit and determination to achieve his goal of making Waite the “best comprehensive high school in the City of Toledo.” The goal is not impossible. Whitmer, arguably the best comprehensive public school in the city, scored a B on the latest Performance Index compiled by the Ohio Department of Education. Waite scored a C, the same grade as Bowsher and Start and a grade above Rogers, Scott and Woodward. So, how will Deem, Waite’s new principal, close the gap? Dave Yenrick, who led Waite for 17 years and who has known Deem for 30 years, said, “He’ll continue the Waite traditions of service to the community, activities and the relationship with the Waite Alumni Association. And, he’ll add a new perspective.” These traditions include the Memorial Day Service to honor Waite’s military veterans; The Purple and Gold Ball; the Holiday Basket Program to feed needy neighbors and dedication to community service. That new perspective is a renewed emphasis on athletics, which you might expect as Deem played football and baseball at Waite. “I’d like to see the student athletes be more involved, being more student-athlete than what we have. There’s a ton of athletic ability in this building, a ton. But, it’s just the apathy of I don’t want to, I don’t care, I don’t need to…” he said, his voice trailing off. Deem said the apathy has emerged in part because Toledo Public Schools in 2010 eliminated some high school as well as all freshman sports including Waite’s championship wrestling program. Some talented student-athletes moved out of the district or used open enrollment to attend other schools including Clay and Northwood. Deem said Waite is in the process of rebuilding these programs and he expects leaders and role models will emerge. He recently met with the seniors on the football team to reinforce the point. “I talked about leadership and what they need to do in the hallways and what they need to do

Waite High School’s new principal, Todd Deem. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) in the classrooms. How they need to act. I think we’re on a good direction. It was tough when the district cut athletics and now we have to bring them back. It’s a slow process.” Convincing students to dedicate more of their personal time to athletics will be difficult. Many of these students work parttime to supplement family income. Some have trouble with grades, not because their parents don’t care, but because they don’t have the education to help their teens with course work. Some don’t have transportation. Some live in single-parent homes which presents its own challenges. Dr. Romules Durant, TPS superintendent and a Waite grad, said Todd Deem is the right man for the job because he bleeds purple and gold, he’s from the community and knows the people. Dr. Durant also supports the increased

emphasis on athletics, not only because sport can produce student leaders, but also because it can generate school pride. “Take note from universities. Universities do not get their popularity from just their academic programs. Where’s Duke without basketball? Where’s Michigan without football? “Sports can generate pride in the student body because sport is an attraction, it’s a draw, an excitement and it elevates everything else around it.” Deem knows the challenges facing urban schools. He most recently was principal at Riverside Elementary in North Toledo. The socio-economic demographics there mirror East Toledo’s. He also grew up in the Raymer district, graduated from Waite in 1988 and spent 10 years working at the East Toledo Family Center before embarking on a career in education. He wore many hats at the family center

while working with everyone from kindergartners to seniors. The experience gave him a sense of empathy for East Toledoans and the struggles they face. It also gave him a sense of humility. “I’m not bigger than any job. If the floor needs swept, I’m going to sweep it. There’s nothing that’s beneath me.” Deem, 44, is just the 11th principal in Waite’s 101 years. Compare this to the average stay nationwide for a high school principal--four years, according to some studies. This stability is a critical factor to Waite’s ability to compete with schools in the more affluent sections of Toledo. According to the Center for Public Education, principals are second only to teachers in the impact they can have of student achievement. A highly effective principal can increase student scores on standardized tests by up to 10 percentile points. An effective principal can also reduce teacher turnover. Todd Deem is following in the footsteps of 10 strong principals. And, while he feels the pressure, he believes at age 44 and with his background in East Toledo, he’s up to the job.

Events to commemorate 220th anniversary of historic battle Metroparks and partners will commemorate the 220th anniversary of the Battle of Fallen Timbers Saturday, Aug. 23, with a wreath-laying ceremony, guest speakers and tours of the battlefield in Maumee. A free showing of the History Channel documentary, “The Battle of Fallen Timbers,” at the Maumee Indoor Theater will be offered Sunday, Aug. 17. The free public event will honor those on both sides of the battle who clashed in 1794 in the woods amid trees toppled by a storm. About 30 to 50 men died on each side of the battle line. On one side was General Anthony Wayne’s Legion of the United States, with help from the Kentucky Militia; on the other side were Native Americans who had joined a confederacy supported by the British to fend off Wayne’s army. The Legion’s decisive victory in the brief battle led to the Treaty of Greenville, and ultimately to Ohio becoming a state. Highlights of the celebration include: • 2 to 4 p.m. – Open house at the Fallen Timbers Battlefield, Jerome Road, Maumee. • 3 to 3:45 p.m. – “Circle of Life,” special presentation by Shawnee storyteller Ron Hatten. • 4 to 5 p.m. – Commemoration and Memorial Ceremony, including a wreathlaying ceremony, historical music and keynote address by State Rep. Michael Sheehy. • 5 to 6 p.m. – Guided battlefield tours. Limited parking will be available at the battlefield, however, parking and shuttle buses will be available at the Shops at Fallen Timbers mall. Metroparks owns the battlefield on Jerome Road on the north side of the Anthony Wayne Trail, and manages Fallen Timbers Battlefield Memorial Park, a historical monument owned by Ohio History Connection on the south side of the highway. The two are connected via a bike/pedestrian bridge. A third site, Fort Miamis on River Road in Maumee, is also a Metroparks property and preserves the site of a British fort used during Fallen Timbers and again in the War of 1812. A visitor center has been designed for the battlefield, which will also have restroom facilities and parking to service that site and the nearby Wabash Cannonball Trail, a regional bike trail. Construction could begin as early as this fall. The park will be open to the public next spring. On Aug. 17, Fallen Timbers Battlefield Preservation Commission will present the documentary, “The Battle of Fallen Timbers,” at 1 and 3 p.m. at the Maumee Indoor Theater. Dr. G. Michael Pratt will discuss the archaeological dig that revealed the location of the 1794 Battle of Fallen Timbers at 2 p.m. Admission is free, however tickets are required and will be available at

It was an act of selflessness and generosity times three as three generations of the King family donated their hair to Locks of Love. Young Sydney Mahaney, her mom Rhonda and grandmother Pam King decided three years ago to begin the challenge of growing their hair out. On Tuesday, Aug. 5, the trio visited A Cut Apart salon in Oak Harbor, where Donna Elliott was given the honors of cutting the 12-inch ponytails from the three donors, who left the salon with a new short hairstyle.

With the right plants, gardeners will have it ‘made in the shade’ By J.K. DePeal Garden Writer news@presspublications.com

Get Growing

Though this has been a mild summer so far, August can bring some hot, dry days to our area. To work comfortably outside on these hot days, it’s best to confine gardening activities to the shady areas of our yards and gardens. There are some beautiful plants that prefer to grow in shady areas under trees, near garages or fences, and on the north sides of our homes. A trick to growing healthy plants in the shade is to check carefully before planting just how much shade the plant will tolerate. Some shade plants actually need some sun in order to perform well, while others will do just fine in deep shade. Hostas are commonly believed to be a deep shade plant but there are varieties that require more sun than shade. The following are some common plants you may want to try in your shady areas and the amount of shade each can tolerate as well as other growing requirements for their healthy performance:

• Hellebore (Helleborus spp.). This flowering perennial will grow in full shade and will also tolerate dry conditions (making it ideal for growing under spreading trees). It blooms in the early spring with white, pink, red, yellow, or green blooms and it is very pest resistant. • Toad lily (Tricyrtis hirta). This is a flowering perennial which blooms in the fall with white, pink or lavender flowers. This plant will not tolerate full shade but prefers an area with light to part shade. • Brunnera (Brunnera macrophyllia). This perennial produces tiny, blue blooms and has variegated, heart-shaped leaves. It will flourish in full shade and prefers moist soil. • Coral Bells (Heuchera hybrids). Heuchera produces tiny, colorful blooms

on tall spiky stems. It will grow in part shade and needs moist soil. The darker the color of the foliage of the Heuchera plant the more shade it will tolerate. • Astilbe (Astilbe spp.) This perennial sports ferny, feathery foliage and airy plumes of blooms. It does well in part shade and requires plenty of moisture. It is very pest resistant. • Lily-of-the-Valley (Convallaris mojalis). A very, hardy, ground cover, Lilyof-the-Valley does well in full shade and blooms in late spring with tiny, bell-shaped blooms that are very fragrant. This perennial will spread and cover bare areas under trees. • White Trillium (Trillium grandifloram). Trillium is a native perennial that can be found in wooded areas. Trillium can be purchased at garden centers and will grow comfortably in part shade, moist areas of your yard. It has large, deep-green, puffy-veined leaves and large white or pink blooms that bloom in early spring. • Impatiens (Impatiens spp.). Commonly sold at most garden centers, impatiens come in many bright colors and will bloom all season. Impatiens will grow

in full shade but they need plenty of moisture to do well. • Deadnettle (Lamium spp.). This perennial ground cover will do well and spread in the shade and it will tolerate dry conditions. The foliage comes in a variegated silver and green, chartreuse and deep green. It produces purple flowers. • Sweet Woodruff (Asperula). This is a perennial herb which is often used as a decorative ground cover. It has delicate leaves that grow in whorls along its stems. This plant can tolerate partial to full shade and needs well-drained soil. It produces small delicate, white flowers in late spring. August garden tips: Cut back on fertilizing established plants and trees to reduce new tender growth on them before winter. Re-seed any dead or thin areas of your lawn. Move any houseplants that have been outside into shadier areas to acclimate them back to the lower indoor light before you bring them back inside. If you have garden questions or tips for other gardeners, email dpl3@accesstoledo. com.

essage of the

eek: Blessed are the Poor in Spirit

It may seem odd that the very first of the beatitudes bestows a blessing on the poor in spirit and promises that the kingdom of heaven is theirs (Matthew 5:3). Should we not seek spiritual riches rather than spiritual poverty? The blessing for the poor in spirit is not meant to denigrate spiritual treasures but rather to elevate the spirit of poverty and humility. We would do well to remember here that the scribes and Pharisees were paradigms of virtue, rich in spirit and proud of their piety, but, didn't seem to need or heed Jesus's message. Jesus had vastly more to offer the weeping

Elliston

adulteress who was thrown at His feet than he did to her accusers. And He had more respect for the impoverished widow who humbly put her two small coins in the temple treasury than the wealthy who made a show of putting in larger amounts. God loves the poor, and those who are poor in spirit even more, so we should count it a blessing when we are feeling lowly and humbled. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. James 4:9-10

Final preparations for the 162nd Sandusky Co. Fair As tents go up, exhibits are readied, and admission gates prepare to open for the 2014 Sandusky County Fair, board members and volunteers are confident they have planned another successful endeavor. The 162nd annual fair runs Aug. 19-24 at the county fairgrounds, 712 North St., Fremont. In the coming days, workers and volunteers will be trimming bushes, weeding flower beds, painting building trim and sweeping out buildings. Advisors and volunteers for several 4-H clubs and organizations are readying their respective areas with excitement in anticipation of another great fair. Fair officials report a record number of open class projects for 2014, topping over 12,000 entries – up nearly 2,000 from 2013. Office personnel say the biggest increase seen was in the “Farm Products” division. “That’s a huge number,” says fair board director, Martin Jay. The fair officially begins with opening ceremonies, hosted by the Exchange Club of Fremont at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 19. Local auctioneer and realtor, Bill Baker will serve as the guest speaker at the event. The board has been working diligently since last September to bring another great fair to the community, Jay says, adding, the search for most of the entertainment and attractions goes on between September and January for the August fair. By their own admission, fair officials say much of the fair’s success is tied to pleasant weather throughout fair week. Excessive heat or persistent rain can hold down attendance numbers, Jay said. General admission to the fair is $8, which includes all mechanical rides, daily grounds shows, all 4-H and open class exhibits, as well as all live music shows

While the Sandusky County Fair is steeped in rich tradition, visitors to the 2014 fair will find new attractions and events. (Press file photo by Ken Grosjean) and demonstrations in the Log Cabin Compound. While the fair is steeped in a rich tradition with the familiar sights and sounds of fairs past, those passing through the gates in 2014 fair will notice plenty of new attractions across the grounds. Two feature shows on the Log Cabin Stage include Nashville entertainers on Wednesday and Sunday. Michael Twitty, son of country legend Conway Twitty, will

take the stage at 6 p.m. Wednesday to perform his show, “Memories of Conway.” Sunday’s Grand Finale show at the Log Cabin Stage will feature legendary country music singer/songwriter, Leona Williams, famous for writing several hits for Merle Haggard, George Jones, Randy Travis, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn and many others. Williams will be appearing with her son, Ron at the 1 p.m. show, with opening act Main Street Band.

Free shows on the grounds will include Big Cat Encounter, The Kid Davie Show, and Wild World of Animals – most performing multiple shows each day of the fair. The popular “Calf Scramble,” scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22 at the horse arena will also be making its return to the fair. Grandstand shows will include the inaugural 94.5 WXKR “Community Appreciation Concert” featuring the Together Band on Tuesday. Local country act, Eric Sowers will serve as the opening act. A classic car show will take place Wednesday in front of the Grandstands, followed by another free concert at 7 p.m., featuring “Allie & The Rockers,” with special guest David Lester. The Tuesday and Wednesday Grandstand events are free with paid general admission into the fair. Other fair highlights include the nationally acclaimed, “Broken Horn Rodeo” on Thursday; the second annual “Tug-aTruck” contest pull on Friday; National Tractor Pulls Saturday and the popular Demo-Derby on Sunday evening. Tickets for the Grandstands show may be purchased at the Grandstands the night of the event. Box seats for all shows are also available. The 22 directors of the Sandusky County Agricultural Society acknowledged that if not for the many organizations, volunteers, donors and sponsors, the county fair would not be possible. “If it weren’t for the thousands of children, parents and grandparents that come through the gates year after year, the fair would not be celebrating its 162nd year,” board member Harold Overmyer said.

Anticipation high for German-American Festival The 2014 German-American Festival, the Toledo area’s oldest and largest ethnic festival, will feature many of the exciting events from last year along with new and noteworthy entertainment, Festival Chair Timothy Pecsenye promises. This year’s festival, the 49th annual celebration, will be held Aug. 22 to 24 at Oak Shade Grove, located at 3624 Seaman Rd., Oregon. The festival is operated by the G.A.F. Society and is sponsored by the seven German and Swiss American Societies in Toledo. “We are expecting upwards of 30,000 attendees this year and we couldn’t be more excited to entertain our guests,� Pecsenye said. “The incredible support from the community each year never ceases to amaze us.� The German-American Festival is a true celebration of all things German, not the least of which is the wide variety of traditional foods that are served up all weekend, including potato pancakes, schnitzel sandwiches, bratwurst, potato salad, a large selection of strudels and other pastries and much more. An impressive selection of German beers along with featured cocktails, wine and soft drinks will be available in the Old World-style outdoor Bier and Wein Garten. The festival is also known for the special events and contests that celebrate German heritage. One of the most popular contests is the Hummel Look-Alike Contest, where children dress like a M.I. Hummel figurine and pose for a panel of judges. Others include a German baking contest, pretzel-eating contest; the Swiss Steintossen, an old Swiss stone-throwing contest; a cheese-eating contest; and a challenge that tests competitors’ ability to lift and hold a 1 liter stein filled with beer straight out, with the arm parallel to the ground. (The current U.S. record is 14 minutes and 7 seconds.) Other notable events include the opening ceremonies parade, which boasts colorful and ornate traditional costumes; a pretzel-eating competition; face-painting and clowns; a stone-throwing contest; amusement rides; shopping; dancing; soccer games and more. The highlight of the festival will be headline entertainer, the Grammy award nominee Alex Meixner Band from Palm City, Fla. Austrian Express from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, will also be performing along

John Parker, a resident at Heartland of Perrysburg, with the photo taken 30 years ago with legendary racer Richard Petty.

John Parker first met the legendary racer Richard Petty 30 years ago at the Michigan International Speedway. The monumental moment was captured with a photograph, which hangs on his wall to serve as a reminder of that happy day. In July, Parker learned that Petty was going to be in Toledo for the Marathon Classic LPGA golf event at Highland Meadows, and shared the news with Heartland of Perrysburg Activity Director Alex Gonzales. “John told me that he dreamed of giving Richard Petty a copy of the picture and getting his autograph,� Gonzales said. Gonzales shared Parker’s wish with Administrator Lisa Chalk, and the pair set the wheels in motion to get Parker to the event to meet Petty. The surprise would be coordinated as part of HCR-Manor Care “Heart’s Desire� program – an initiative designed to make an HCR-Manor Care resident’s wishes come true. “I knew this was really important to John, but the event was only a few days away, so we had to act fast to make arrangements.� Gonzales added. Working together, the two put a plan in place and on July 17, Parker traveled to the golf classic where he got the chance to meet Petty and recreate the joyous memory from more than three decades ago.

Tanglewood’s ‘Hole-in-One Gang’ — 7 guys, 25 aces

“

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

He's a hillbilly. He's originally from West Virginia and he came up here to get a job on the railroad.

“

Jerry “Jiggs” Sandwisch could have gone with the traditional answering machine message on his home phone, but that would be too easy. If Sandwisch, who grew up in Stony Ridge and now lives in Bowling Green, isn’t home, this is the phone message you’ll get: “Jerry...Jiggs...Sandwisch is my name. Golf is my game. Please leave a message ‘four’ me.” “I just put that on there about six months ago,” Sandwisch, 66, said. “People tell me they don’t believe it.” Sandwisch is an – ahem – avid golfer. So are several of his buddies. Their names are Tom Cavendish, Bill Loomis, Ron Hall, Bob Neary, Dick Eilert and Joe Kirkman. Between them they have 25 career holes-in-one. Neary, 74, has eight aces on his golf resume and Loomis has six; Cavendish shot his fifth hole-in-one, at age 77, on Aug. 6 at Tanglewood Golf Course in Perrysburg, the playing partners’ home course. Call them the “Hole-In-One Gang.” “I missed one by about six inches today (Wednesday),” said Sandwisch, who got the nickname “Jiggs” because he used to walk his neighbor’s dog, Jiggs, around his neighborhood in Stony Ridge. The gang has been golfing together every morning for more than five years now. They enjoy the game, but the camaraderie and fresh air are important, too. And then there is their friendly quarter “Skins” game, but more on that later. Tom Blanchard, who with his wife, Sandy, bought Tanglewood in 2009, knows all of the gang and plays with them every once in a while. Most of the gang lives in the Luckey-Pemberville-Bowling Green area, and they are all 65 and over. Loomis, 84, is the oldest. “They’re tremendous, great supporters of the club,” Blanchard said. “They get an opportunity to get together and socialize. It’s a good core group of guys and they support the course. They help with our fish fry (events) in August, and their wives come out and it’s a great bunch of guys. They’re not afraid to rib one another and do a little

Tanglewood golfers Bill Loomis, Ron Hall, Jerry Sandwisch, Bob Neary, Dick Eilert, Joe Kirkman, and Tom Cavendish. (Press photo by J. Patrick Eaken) trash talking.” The guys tee off at 10 a.m. every morning from March through November at Tanglewood. They bump up their tee time to 11 a.m. when it gets cold. They don’t play together on Mondays, Sandwisch said, because several of them play in a senior league that day. Cavendish has been a member at Tanglewood since 1964. He is originally from West Virginia and moved to Luckey in 1967. His daily interaction with his golf buddies is important. “It’s one of those things if you show up, fine,” he said. “We’ve been doing it for years. Eilert, Loomis and I live about four or five blocks apart. If it wasn’t for the friendship and the beer, they wouldn’t even care about playing golf. Back in our day. I think all of us were pretty good golfers. Me and Neary and Loomis have won the club championship between us probably 10 times. You get old, you have to have something to keep you going and shoot the bull — and maybe have a little brewski.” Ah, the brewski. “Winner buys the beer,” Sandwisch

said. “We’ve been doing that for about five years.” Cavendish said the gang plays a friendly game of quarter “Skins” pretty much all the time, to keep things interesting. “The most it will cost you is four dollars and a half,” Cavendish said. “You play for a quarter on the first hole and whoever wins, you have to pay them a quarter. Sometimes we might go 10 holes and it might be worth two dollars and a half for someone who wins. There’s a little bit of a challenge there. Nothing big, but it keeps your battery charged.” When asked which member of the gang is the best golfer, Sandwisch, who shot his third career hole-in-one a few years ago, said, “probably Bill Loomis, for his age.” “If you’re 75 and over, you get to play from the red tees,” Sandwisch said. “He’s pretty good. It’s tough for me to play with him. I play from the whites, and with my arthritis I can only hit it about 175 yards off the tee. My only chance to win Skins is on the par 3s.” For the record, Hall, 72, Kirkman, 69, and the lefty Eilert, 79, each have one

career hole-in-one. Neary, who lives in Maumee, once shot an ace on Tanglewood’s par-4 No. 4 hole. Sandwisch and Cavendish sound like brothers when they describe the Hole-InOne Gang. Asked which of the guys is the biggest character of the bunch, Sandwisch doesn’t hesitate. “Cavendish,” he blurted. “He’s got none. He’s a hillbilly. He’s originally from West Virginia and he came up here to get a job on the railroad. He likes to tell stories and tell jokes.” Cavendish, when asked what he enjoys most about hanging with the group, responded, “I didn’t really say I like any of them.” “They’re all good friends,” Cavendish said. “They would do anything for you. I don’t have words to put together to describe that. It’s just kind of a brotherhoodtype thing. We just have good friendship and a little bit of relief from the daily pressures. Have a bad day at home or at work, and you can go out and swat that golf ball and get rid of the pressures for a little bit.” The only concern for this group is how they’ll spend their time once the really cold weather hits in November and they stop playing golf for a spell. “Physically, mentally, spiritually and financially, golf will ruin you,” Cavendish joked. “I don’t know if I would recommend it to someone who hasn’t played. It’s a great game. The owner, Tom Blanchard, has been doing a fine job and we support him and encourage him and wish him well. I thank the good Lord for the blessings of golf and health.”

Golf trio finds good fortune on Hidden Hills par threes By Mark Griffin and Yaneek Smith sports@presspublications.com

“

I called one of my closest buddies and one of them couldn't believe it.

“

Ed Strohscher has never had much luck with the 145-yard 14th hole at Hidden Hills Golf Club in Woodville. “It’s a real frustrating hole,” said Strohscher, 67, of Genoa. “There’s a pond on the right side and a hill on the left side. It’s a hard one. I usually end up putting (my tee shot) on top of the hill.” Strohscher, who was playing with his brother-in-law, Joe Hartley, his uncle, Kermit Cook, and a cousin, John Cook, grabbed his 5 hybrid club on the morning of Aug. 5 and took a swing at the Calloway golf ball at his feet. It wasn’t the best stroke of Strohscher’s 10-year golfing career, and he knew it right away. “It was an ‘uh-oh,’ ” he said. “It wasn’t that good of a hit. I pulled the ball to the left, and I thought I’d be chipping from up on the cart path down to the green. Apparently it sloped down and went in. Nobody saw it go in.” The weather that day was “gorgeous,” Strohscher said, with just a little bit of wind. Strohscher’s foursome went looking for their golf balls on the par-3 hole, but Strohscher wasn’t looking in the right spot. He hadn’t realized he’d just shot his first hole-in-one. “All of them saw it,” Strohscher said of his tee shot. “My uncle actually found the ball in the hole. He was wondering where the ball came from. He asked me, ‘What kind of ball you playing?’ I told him what kind and he said, ‘Here it is!’ I couldn’t believe it. I’m up on top (of the hill) looking for my ball and they say, ‘Here’s your ball, down here.’ ” Strohscher said he started golfing after he retired about 10 years ago. He worked as a crane operator for the Ohio Operating Engineers, Local 18, in Oregon. He now plays a couple times a week, just for fun; he shot an 88 for 18 holes on the day he got his hole-in-one. “I’m usually in the low 90s,” said Strohscher, who added that he’s still deciding what’s to become of the Calloway golf ball that dropped into the cup on one shot.

Local recreational golfers Josh Cowden, Sara Martin, and Ed Strohscher gather at Hidden Hills Golf Club to celebrate their aces. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) “I have it sitting here on my counter right now,” Strohscher said. “I’m waiting to figure out what I’m going to do with it.” Two more — back to back Two golfers hitting a hole-in-one on back-to-back days at the same golf course is rare enough. Now, picture that neither actually saw the feat take place. That was the case when Sara Martin and Josh Cowden, both of Perrysburg Township, connected on holes-in-one last weekend at Hidden Hills Golf Course in Woodville. Martin, who aced the par 3, 161-yard No. 16 on Aug. 8, saw her Callaway ball bounce in front of the green before reaching the green, only to look away, convinced she had finished off a good shot that had no chance at reaching the hole. “My goal was to get it on the green,” said Martin, who hits the links about twice a week. “I thought that would be a good accomplishment. When I saw that (the ball) was rolling on up to the green, I picked up the tee, went to the golf cart and got ready to play our next shot. It had bounced just before the green and bounced

on. “It was a front-pin placement, about 10 yards off the front of the green. We got closer and I thought, ‘Mine should be up here.’ And I couldn’t see it, which doesn’t make any sense. ‘Does that mean it’s possible the ball went into the hole?’ But then I saw that it went in. It was such a thrill. What an experience.” Martin, who was with friend Kathy Thompson when she hit the once-in-alifetime shot, finished with a score of 105 for 18 holes. She said it’s shots like this that keep her coming back. “Every round is different,” Martin said. “Every hole is different because your position on the hole is somewhere where the ball never was before. I never think it’s not interesting or not challenging or redundant. You’re required to focus on every shot, and you have to focus on a number of things, like where the ball is in relation to the green. “Another draw is being outside. A golf course is a lovely place to be, and there are the different seasons. In the fall, it’s really nice with all the colors, and it’s nice to be out early in the season, too.”

And then there’s Cowden, who hit a hole-in-one with a Ram Tour SD titanium ball on the par 3, 150-yard, No. 18. It was the perfect end to an already good day for Cowden, who shot an 86. “I hit an 8-iron from the white tees and my buddy Luke (Hurpel) was standing next to me,” Cowden said. “He yelled, “Its going way left,” so I started turning back and went to the cart and he said, ‘Wait, it turned back to the right.’ The four behind us said, ‘I think it went in.’ I looked for the ball and saw that it went in. My friend didn’t even take a shot. We just went into the clubhouse. I called all of my closest buddies and one of them couldn’t believe it.” Cowden, 23, nearly hit a hole-in-one about a year ago, also at Hidden Hills. Previously, he hit the flagpole on No. 16 before the ball dropped within a foot of the hole. Not surprisingly, Cowden has an athletic background, but it’s not in organized golf. The 2008 graduate of Rossford High was part of the last Bulldog football team to make it to the playoffs in 2007. “I’ve been playing golf since I was in sixth grade, (at age) 12 or 13,” Cowden said. “I’m no pro, I didn’t play (golf) in high school or anything, I just golf with friends. I golf 10 to 15 times in the summer and I’m out every weekend. I’m not too bad. I shoot for under-90 and I’m happy. “I love to go out and have a good time. I don’t care where the ball goes. When I hit it, I never know where it’s going to go. Sometimes, it goes straight and sometimes it’s in the next fairway. I hit some guy’s golf cart on No. 10 before I hit the hole-in-one.”

Trio carries Gressman Powersports to Fremont wins By Todd Tappel Special to The Press liskai2x@roadrunner.com Gressman Powersports was the big winner at Fremont Speedway as they provided the horsepower for all three feature winners on Gressman Powersports/Level Performance Night. All three feature winners received a $200 bonus courtesy of the Fremont Ohio engine builder. Carrying the Gressman colors to victory lane were Cole Duncan in the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints; Nate Dussel in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints and Shawn Valenti in the AAA Ohio Auto Club Dirt Trucks. Duncan’s win was his first of the year at Fremont and he led all 30 laps in the 410 Sprint A Main. It is the Lockborne, Ohio driver’s second career victory at Fremont. The victory was hard-fought though as lapped traffic kept the running order tight. “A few times I thought they cost us and a couple of times I thought they probably helped us,” commented Duncan beside his Motor City Auto Transport/Gressman Powersports/Wolfden Products/Industrial Special Powdercoating backed No. 22. “It was a lot of fun racing tonight. I have to thank Scott Gressman first of all. He builds the power plant and it was fast. I have to thank Matt Hummel…he went to work on the shocks this week and that’s why we’re standing in victory lane,” added Duncan. Travis Philo was the early challenger until he clipped an infield tire barrier on lap three and was forced to retire on lap five. The race would go non-stop after the lap five caution and the new challenger would be Byron Reed. Duncan’s lead was like an accordion, depending on when he and Reed caught the lapped cars. While the lead pair battle raged, fast qualifier Caleb Griffith moved into the third spot bringing Chris Andrews with him. Andrews would eventually settle into third and closed in on the leaders. However, Duncan worked the lapped traffic to perfection to close out the race. Reed would finish second over Andrews, Rob Chaney, and points leader Brian Lay.

ning competitive again,” added Dussel. Josh Harrison had his best run of the season going as he held the second spot from lap four until spinning out on lap 10. That would put Gunn in the second spot as he passed Bobby Clark one circuit before the lap 10 caution. Gunn stayed within striking distance and made a charge on the last lap. Dussel protected the bottom and Gunn moved to the top in three and four but Gunn’s momentum was cut short when Dussel shot to the top on the front stretch. Finishing behind Gunn were Clark, Dustin Dinan, and T.J. Michael. The Dirt Truck feature was anti-climatic as Shawn Valenti used his outside front row starting spot to record his 10th win of the season in convincing fashion. Valenti now has 19 career victories at Fremont. The talk of the race was the grinding crash on lap four. John Ivy and Brad Keckler made contact on the front stretch sending Keckler’s truck flipping. Jimmy McGrath, Jr. ended up on his side and Brian Melnek’s ride sustained heavy damage. Once the debris was cleaned up, Valenti set sail in the Jeff Babock-owned ride sponsored by Craig Miller Trucking and Best Performance Motorsports. Dan Roepke held second the entire race, finishing ahead of Kent Brewer, Matt Foos, and Cory Ward. “We got lucky and got an outside front row starting spot. The way Rich (Farmer, promoter) had the track tonight there was a nice cushion and the truck was awesome. Everything just went my wife. I have to thank Gressman Powersports….everything they do for me is pretty special. Jeff Babcock for putting me in this thing,” said Valenti beside his Story Equipment Repair/ KS Sales and Service/Day Dream and Memories Crafts and Antiques backed #7b. Fremont Speedway will be shut down for three weeks for the Sandusky County Fair. But, the Track That Action Built will re-open on Sept. 6 for Tank’s Meats Night – Salute to Fremont Champions. It is the championship for the $10,000 Kistler Racing Products FAST (Fremont Attica Sprint Title) Championship Series for the 410 sprints. It is also the championship for the JLH General Contractor FAST 305 Sprints with the dirt trucks also in action.

The win was the second on the season at Fremont for Dussel who now has 15 career victories at “The Track that Action Built.” “There’s not a kid in the pits that doesn’t deserve a win more than he (Gunn) does.

Flyers must remain consistent to defend By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com There wasn’t any big secret how Lake’s boys golf team won the Northern Buckeye Conference championship last fall. Coach Dorian Boggs’ team won the overall title without winning a single conference “shootout� or even the end-of-theseason NBC tournament. The Flyers took second at the tournament, took second in three shootouts and finished third in the other shootout. “We were rewarded for our consistency,� Boggs said. Lake returns three lettermen this year but must replace first-team All-NBC performer Michael Kranz along with starters Jeff Wilson and Lucas Zeh. The returning lettermen are seniors Ian Johnson and Dylan Mauder and sophomore Owen Johnson. Ian Johnson, who is Owen’s brother, was a first-team all-conference player in 2013 and made the all-tournament team at Lake’s first event this season, Aug. 6 at the Liberty-Benton Invitational. “Ian is playing pretty well,� Boggs said Monday. “He hits the ball a long way for a kid who weighs 150 pounds. He pounds it. His putting has improved, and last year that was his Achilles’ heel. If we can get

his wedge game going, he’s going to be very, very good.� Mauder earned honorable mention All-NBC honors last year. “Dylan is up and down, like a rollercoaster,� Boggs said. “He tends to cut the ball a little bit. The days he’s controlling it, he’s pretty good. He worked pretty hard over the summer and his short game has gotten quite a bit better. He’s shot in the mid-80’s in both tournaments, so he’s starting to get a little momentum going.� Boggs said Owen Johnson probably has the most natural golf swing on the team. “Last year he was very steady as a freshman,� the coach said. “This year he’s gotten taller and he’s got a nice swing arc. All of a sudden, in one year, he hits the ball a long way. What we’re working on with Owen is the same hit the fairway, hit the green mentality.� Boggs said senior Chase Brossia, junior Jacob Middaugh and sophomores Tyler Snyder and Jarrod Hornyak will battle for the final few playing positions on a weekto-week basis. “After our top three, we’ve got about four guys battling for three spots,� Boggs said. “That could be a weekly battle. They’re all pretty close to each other, so we’re almost going to qualify weekly and we’ll try to play the hot hand. Their scores

speak for themselves.� The Flyers finished in the bottom half of a tough 12-team field at the LibertyBenton Invitational at Sycamore Springs in Arlington in their opener. “Our top couple guys played pretty well,� Boggs said. “That’s a real tough course, and our young guys got baptized by fire early on.� Lake lost to Perrysburg by “a handful of strokes� in a dual match, and also took second out of nine teams at the Lakeland Invitational in Fostoria. “We had the two best scores of the match (against Perrysburg) and still lost by 10 or 11,� Boggs said. “We’re looking for those bottom-of-the-line guys to play a little bit better. Fostoria wasn’t as tough as Sycamore Springs, but not bad. The course is more manageable than the first two we played. For our younger guys. it was a breath of fresh air.� Boggs added that Rossford, which returns last year’s NBC Player of the Year, is the favorite to take the conference crown. “At the end of the year we feel we should be right there with the top teams in the league,� Boggs said. “Our top couple of guys can match up with anybody else’s on any given day, and our younger guys have worked pretty hard and they’re getting better every day.�

Northwood gridders tabbed to win 11th championship By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Northwood is the pre-season favorite to win its 11th Toledo Area Athletic Conference football championship. In voting by coaches, new member Tiffin Calvert is tabbed for second with Gibsonburg and Toledo Christian following closely behind. The Rangers, led by Coach Ken James, now in his 29th year, have been a model of success against Toledo Area Athletic Conference opponents. Since joining the TAAC in 2001, the Rangers have won 10 league titles and advanced to the playoffs 10 times. James’ offense revolves around the wishbone attack, a system that features three running backs, two wide receivers and no tight ends. Northwood’s success running the ball and stopping the run on defense has been key to their stellar run during the last 12 years. Last year, the Rangers started 1-2, and then won eight straight conference games, but lost a first round playoff game to Tinora to finish 8-3. The Rangers are 1-9 all-time in the playoffs, which is something James wants to see change. James told The Press before the Tinora loss that breaking the playoff victory drought would “be a good shot in the arm for our program.” “Each year and every team is a different entity,” he said. “We’ve been struggling in the playoffs lately. Most of these kids were in elementary school when we last won a playoff game. We’ve been in a situation where we’ve been competitive. We’ve gotten some tough draws. We’re in a smaller league and we end up (being) a lower seed, but we think we’re pretty close. We’re trying to do everything we can to be competitive.” Just four years ago, the Gibsonburg Golden Bears struggled to an 0-10 record. Since then, however, the Bears have gone 5-5 and 4-6 and 5-5, respectively, in their first three seasons in the league, an indi-

Lampl light to shine again in downtown Toledo

The Toledo Walleye all-time leader in plus/minus returns to T-Town; defenseman Cody Lampl has agreed to terms for the 2014-15 season. In 64 games with the Walleye in the 2012-13 season he set career highs in goals (6), points (14), and penalty minutes (127). The native of Ketchum, Idaho, also set a current Walleye record by finishing that season with a plus/minus of plus 20. Lampl has appeared in a professional total of 214 games between ECHL teams Toledo, Las Vegas, Idaho and Utah. In those games, the 28 year old has racked up 322 penalty minutes and 58 points (8g, 50a). Prior to his professional career, Lampl spent four standout seasons at Colorado College. In 86 games during his four year college career with the Tigers, he collected 75 penalty minutes and 20 points (6g, 14a). (Photo courtesy of Toledo Walleye) cation that things are heading in the right direction for Coach Steve Reser and his program. Last year, the Bears were 4-3 in the TAAC.

For Reser the season will get interesting because of the addition of Calvert, his alma mater, into the league. Reser played collegiate football at Heidelberg University

in Tiffin. Cardinal Stritch Catholic was winless in 10 games last year, but begins its second season under Coach Brian Wical, who has been part of a successful program at a small Catholic school before. Wical, 26, became an assistant coach at his high school alma mater, Lima Central Catholic, seven 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 inherited a Stritch program came off a 1-9 season two years ago and the school has seen more head coaches in the past 10 years than anyone cares to count.
