Lake Erie Economic Impact under review By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council in June will consider approving an agreement with the Lake Erie Foundation to fund up to one third of the cost of Phase 2 of the Lake Erie Economic Impact Analysis and Western Lake Erie Report Card. Lucas County, Toledo and Oregon would each provide funding for a third of the project. “There was an analysis that quantified challenges to the lake about a year ago, which was Phase 1,” said Oregon City Administrator Mike Beazley. Council provided funding in the 2018 budget to work cooperatively with Toledo and Lucas County for a Lake Erie economic impact analysis and a western Lake Erie report card. The studies are considered important steps in the ongoing efforts to find solutions to the long term algae challenge in the lake. The goal is to follow the successful model developed in Chesapeake Bay that dealt with similar environmental challenges, and has now turned a corner toward improvement.

“

One of the challenges has been the investment of a lot of money on finding solutions to the algae problem in Lake Erie, which has not necessarily produced results. The Chesapeake Bay watershed spans six states and the District of Columbia. Decades of poor water quality in the bay and its tidal tributaries was caused by nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment that entered the water from various sources, including agricultural operations, urban runoff, wastewater facilities, septic systems, air pollution

and other sources. To restore its health, the Environmental Protection Agency set limits on the pollution for the 64,000 square miles of Chesapeake Bay watershed. States are responsible for implementing plans to achieve those limits by 2025. “Local governments are looking to explore steps that can make a difference,” said Beazley. “One of the challenges has been the investment of a lot of money on finding solutions to the algae problem in Lake Erie, which has not necessarily produced results. We believe that there are some steps we can take that will help us emulate places that have turned the corner and have gotten results. Right now, we think this is the path that helps us turn the corner.”

A bill authorizing income tax credits for volunteer firefighters and emergency medical technicians would help compensate them for out-of-pocket expenses and lost wages, a chief with the Lindsey Volunteer Fire Department recently testified before a committee of the state legislature. Jason Conklin was one of nine persons to offer testimony May 22 before the House Ways and Means Committee in support of House Bill 575. Conklin, a member of the Lindsey department for 24 years and its deputy chief for the past seven, said the department has seen a rapid increase in calls during the past four years; from an annual average of 91 between 2009 and 2013, to 121 since 2014. “This increase of 30 calls per year equates to an additional 60 hours of time per firefighter, volunteered each year. This is important to note, because many of our firefighters can leave work but are not compensated while they are gone,” Conklin testified. “Although we receive tremendous support from our community, our meager budget does not allow us to compensate our firefighters for their time and/or costs associated with being on our department.” Representatives Candice Keller, R-Middleton, and Jeffery Rezabek, RClayton, are the bill’s primary sponsors. In his testimony during the committee’s first hearing on the bill in April, Rep. Rezabek said volunteer firefighters/EMTs would receive a refundable tax credit each year against the state personal income tax based on their years of service. “Those who have served between one to five years will be eligible to receive $500 per year off their taxes, $1,000 for those who have served six to 10 year, and $2,000 per year for those who have served 11 years or more,” he told the committee. “There are tiers to this credit for a very specific

Tax credits Continued from front page reason – longevity. There is great expense in equipping and training these men and women stepping up as volunteers.” He urged the committee to remember that volunteer firefighters complete the same training as career firefighters. Citing figures from the state fire marshal’s office, Rezabek said there are 467 volunteer fire departments in the state. “If we staffed each department with only two firefighters (best practice says four should be on staff at all times) 24 hours a day, and we paid them each a minimum wage of $8.30 per hour, that works out to approximately $67 million per year,” he said. “In contrast, if all 11,292 volunteers around the state apply for the highest credit ($2,000) that would be approximately $22 million per year. That comes to a savings of $45 million.” Analysis by the legislative service commission, projects the tax credit would reduce revenue from the state personal income tax by up to $62 million in fiscal 2019, assuming the bill is in effect for tax year 2018. The state general revenue fund would bear almost 97 percent of any such revenue loss. Heidi Fought, of the Ohio Township Association, testified that, “…reasonable financial incentives for volunteer firefighters and EMS personnel serve as important recruitment and retention tools for local emergency response departments who are struggling to meet increased demand.” Of the total volunteer firefighters, 95 percent work in communities with populations of 25,000 or less, she said.

agricultural lands, is feeding cyanobacterial (blue green algae) growth in the warm shallow waters of the western basin. In 2014, half a million Toledo water customers in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan could not access clean drinking water for two days after microcystin, a toxin created by algal blooms, was detected in Toledo’s water supply. Microcystin can cause nausea, vomiting, and liver damage if ingested. Although a toxic algal bloom in the Maumee Bay was causing the contamination, Oregon, which has its own water treatment plant, was not affected by the water advisory that was issued to Toledo water customers. The Oregon water intake located in western Lake Erie is impacted by harmful algae that can contain toxins. The harmful algal toxins require water treatment systems to have extensive monitoring and capital intensive treatment systems that are costly to Oregon’s water users. There is a need to reduce harmful algal blooms in the western basin of Lake Erie and its tributaries. Oregon has about four miles of shoreline on Maumee Bay in the Western Lake Erie watershed.

Report card This study will allow Oregon to develop better economic data in order to best demonstrate the value of a healthy Lake Erie to the region. The establishment of a report card and grading system (A to F) will document progress or the lack thereof in Western Lake Erie watersheds due to nutrient runoff in western Lake Erie using the format established in Chesapeake Bay and other watersheds around the world. A report card would track improvements or the lack of them in western Lake Erie watersheds, encouraging each watershed to meet the targeted reduction goals and would improve communication and demonstrate the urgent need to reduce the nutrient load from all runoff sources in western Lake Erie. Oregon will provide up to one third of the cost up to a maximum of $55,000. The city does not expect to use all of the funds budgeted for the project. The communities will continue to seek additional grant dollars that may further reduce the local cost of the project. The report card and economic study services will be provided by Key Logistics and the University of Maryland Center. The Lake Erie Foundation will serve a coordinating role with the communities and the service providers at no cost.

Girl Scout grant Girl Scouts of Western Ohio received a $10,000 grant from Rotary Club of Toledo and the Toledo Community Foundation. The gift will support the community outreach program in Toledo and enable thousands of girls to participate in Girl Scouting. “One of the charitable purposes of the Rotary Club of Toledo is to support health, social, and educational services for young people in northwest Ohio,” said Louise A. Jackson, Chair of the Foundation for the Rotary Club of Toledo. The purpose of the school-based community outreach program is to engage girls from underserved backgrounds in Girl Scout programming during the school day and in the summer. While participating, girls grow as leaders while learning about diverse subjects that range from conflict resolution to science, technology, engineering, and math. “We are grateful to the Rotary Club of Toledo and the Toledo Community Foundation for their investment in the Girl Scout mission to build girls of courage, confidence, and character,” said Roni Luckenbill, CEO of Girl Scouts of Western Ohio.

Ohio hunters checked a total of 22,571 wild turkeys during the combined 2018 spring wild turkey south zone hunting season, northeast zone hunting season and youth wild turkey hunting season, April 21May 27, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. In 2017, hunters checked a total of 21,042 wild turkeys. Hunters checked 20,689 birds during the 2018 wild turkey south zone and northeast zone hunting seasons compared to 19,147 birds in 2017. Youth hunters checked 1,882 birds during the 2018 youth season compared to 1,895 in 2017. Wild turkeys were extirpated in Ohio by 1904 and were reintroduced in the 1950s by the ODNR Division of Wildlife. Ohio’s first modern-day wild turkey season opened in 1966 in nine counties, and hunters checked 12 birds. The wild turkey harvest topped 1,000 for the first time in 1984. Spring turkey hunting opened statewide in 2000, and Ohio hunters checked more than 20,000 wild turkeys for the first time that year. A list of all wild turkeys checked during the 2018 combined spring turkey hunting seasons is shown below. The first number following the county’s name shows the harvest numbers for 2018, and the 2017 numbers are in parentheses.

East Toledo sailor plants trees at Romanian school By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Sailors from Naval Support Facility Deveselu and Romanian 99th Military Base held a tree planting community relations project for the School’s Friendship Day at Deveselu School, May 24. The sailors planted fifteen trees throughout the school grounds with school faculty and students. “It was extreme. I didn’t realize how skilled the students were at playing soccer. They kept me sprinting for the ball,” said Master-at-Arms 2nd Class Nicole Jones, an East Toledo native. “The COMREL brought us to work together with our neighbors the Romanian 99th in a way that gave back to the community by planting trees on the school grounds and lifting the spirits of the children with soccer.” Master-at-Arms 3rd Class Gregory Cutting, a native of Barbados and the community relations coordinator for NSF Deveselu added, “The event was a blast. We planted 15 trees that were bought by both the Sailors and school faculty. The children would help us dig holes and played soccer with us during the visit.” Simona Nica, the English teacher for the school, said she was grateful for the sailors coming out to the school again to help plant trees. “We are thankful for the sailors’ hard work in planting trees with the students here at the school,” said Nica. “We named the trees after the sailors who planted them. We wanted the children who come to the school later on to know we have a good relationship with the sailors that live next to us.” For more information about NSF Deveselu, Romania visit http://cnic.navy. mil/regions/cnreuafswa/installations/nsf_ deveselu.html and http://www.facebook. com/NSFDeveselu/.

Avoid monotony and shake things up in your life Monotony, maintaining the status quo, and routines, all lead to boredom and chronic dissatisfaction. Shaking things up in your life is a great way to extricate yourself from engrained, repetitive patterns. Mundane routines are the result of following a path of least resistance. These routes offer low rewards in exchange for requiring little effort. A path of least resistance quickly becomes a rut, which bogs you down. Shaking things up gets you out of this rut and onto a different path. You shake things up by engaging in new activities. Any deviation from your routine has value. Even the smallest alteration is enough to get you started. Shaking things up gives you a different perspective. It adds energy and excitement to each day. Discard any excuses which have been holding you back. These excuses only deepen your rut. Make a commitment to shake up just on aspect of your routine. Start small. Eating at a new restaurant, taking a spur of the moment day trip, striking up a conversation with a stranger, or following a different route to work, are just a few examples. Through these actions, your “shake

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden up” mindset becomes established. This prepares you to shake up more significant aspects of your life. The process requires overcoming those fears which have been holding you back. Of all fears, fear of failure is a major limitation. Fear of failure is a mental monster which can grow out of proportion. What’s the worst that could happen? If one strategy doesn’t work as planned, you simply take a new approach, and then keep going. You just do whatever it takes to accomplish that which you have been avoiding. Time goes by much too fast to waste it by procrastinating. Leaving your comfort zone shakes things up. Doing what you have been afraid to do builds confidence. For example, if you are impacted by stage fright,

taking a course on public speaking or joining a public speaking organization, pushes you to break through a limitation. Doing so gives you the confidence to overcome other fears. Challenge yourself to do something you’ve never done before. You have virtually unlimited options. Learn about a subject you know nothing about. Volunteer for an organization which helps others. Pursue a hobby which interests you. Read a book about something you know nothing about. Take a college class, either credit or credit free. Go back to school to earn or finish a degree. All it takes is doing something different. Some people shake things up in a big way by quitting a job to pursue a dream, such as starting their own business. Or they may completely change careers. Although this radical approach works for some, you don’t have to be this extreme in order to shake things up for yourself. Getting rid of physical clutter starts you on the road to shaking things up. This clutter has built up over time, creating a feeling of stagnation. Rearranging your furniture also has a liberating effect. Successfully

completing these small steps motivates you to take larger steps. Clear out your mental clutter. Purge limiting excuses which you have used to justify pursuing unrewarding paths. A positive shift in your perspective makes a huge difference to your drive and determination. Pursue whatever motivates you. Take chances. Stop procrastinating. Take advantage of opportunities by making decisions. Don’t become mired in paralysis by analysis. Have fun. Appreciate all of the good in your life. Explore new options. It doesn’t take a lot to shake up your life. Small changes yield significant positive results. Reject your status quo. Make today the day you do something different.

An argument against privatizing Veterans health care By Mark Luskus Veterans have made enormous sacrifices for the United States. The rest of us should ensure that they lead prosperous lives after their service. Affordable, high-quality health care has been a cornerstone of this promise since the formation of the Veterans Health Administration. However, some people in the Trump administration apparently want to privatize veterans’ health care, which will ultimately put the health of veterans in jeopardy. The Veterans Health Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, delivers health care to 9 million veterans across 170 medical centers and nearly 1,000 outpatient clinics. This impressive network is well suited to address the health needs of veterans, who are burdened with higher rates of cancer, suicide, and debilitating chronic diseases than nonveteran adults. Despite the VA’s well publicized shortcomings, a 2016 systematic review of 69

Guest Editorial studies concluded that VA medical centers generally provide safer and more effective care than non-VA medical centers. However, after former Veteran Affairs Secretary, David Shulkin, departed the agency in March, he revealed that administration officials were advocating for privatization of Veterans Health Services. If VA medical centers provide safe, effective care, why are officials discussing privatization? Privatization advocates argue that VA medical centers are providing insufficient care, despite what outcome studies have shown. A primary grievance is excessive wait times for appointments, a problem that plagues hospital systems across the

country. In 2014, in response to excessive wait times at VA facilities, Congress approved the VA Choice program. This “privatization lite” program permits veterans to receive health care at non-VA facilities if wait times at a local center exceed 30 days, or if they live more than 40 miles from a center. Has that worked any better? So far, there’s no evidence it has. A large-scale, systematic review of the program isn’t available yet. But patients are reporting difficulty scheduling appointments with non-VA providers, billing issues, and perhaps most alarmingly, delays in non-VA providers sharing information with a patient’s primary VA physician. The medical records system at the VA is robust and ensures coordination of care across a patient’s various physicians and medical sites. Receiving health care outside of the VA system appears to be creating gaps in that record, which can lead to poor patient outcomes. Privatization is also a bad deal for taxpayers. A 2014 analysis by the Congressional

Budget Office (CBO) found that care delivered by VA medical centers is up to 10 percent cheaper than the private sector. Why should we pay private hospitals more for the same level of care? Advocates for privatizing VA services are right about one thing: We can do better for our veterans. But the best solution isn’t to shift federal dollars to private, for-profit entities. We should instead invest in our network of public medical centers that have a proven record of success. Health care providers choose to work at the VA because they’re committed to improving the health of veterans, which has transformed them into veterans’ health experts. The commitment and expertise cannot be matched by any other hospital system, and it’s a disservice to all veterans for us to believe otherwise. Mark Luskus is a med student at Emory University.

June, 2008 News: George “Tater” Jensen of Luckey, an advocate for the Society of St. Andrew, a Christian ministry dedicated to feeding the nation’s hungry, asked local farmers to leave a row in their fields and orchards for gleaners. The Society over the years had delivered nearly 10.1 million pounds of salvaged potatoes and other food to feed the poor. *** The Oregon Vietnam Memorial Group honored seven Clay High graduates who died in Vietnam. Among them was Specialist 4th Arthur Heringhausen, a member of a Long-Range Recon Patrol, who was awarded the Silver Star for his actions in a firefight against overwhelming odds. Sports: Woodmore’s Erin Pendleton took first in the shot-put at the D-III regional meet in Tiffin.

June, 1998 News: ProMedica announced it would build a new hospital on the Oregon-Northwood border, across from the Meijer store. The new hospital would not add beds to the Toledo area, but would better serve East Siders whose insurance dictated they cross the river to receive care at Toledo Hospital, according to Rose Glenn, vice president of development and communications. Plans called for the transfer of 100 beds from Toledo Hospital to what is currently named Bay Park Community Hospital. Sports: Dan Harder of Oak Harbor competed in the Super Bowl of Demolition Derbies at the Pontiac Silverdome. Although Harder did not win his heat and the $10,000 first prize, he was given the “Mad Dog” Award and $500 for being judged to have put on the best show in the prelims. *** The Toledo Tornadoes of the newly formed Regional Football League used its first draft pick to choose Quarterback Ron Powlus of Notre Dame. Other notables drafted included Wayne Williamson, Toledo running back; Greg Bellisari, Ohio State linebacker and Melvin Dansby, defensive lineman from Notre Dame.

At the time, more than 50,000 Americans had been diagnosed with AIDS. One analysis put the cost of AIDS to the federal government at $22 billion over the following few years. *** An East Toledo woman urged the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) to get tough on CB (citizens band) users. She claimed that what was a safety tool used to communicate during the Blizzard of 78, was being misused by people spewing profanity, lies and slander over the air waves. She told The Press, “You can stand on my sidewalk and call me a (name) and get arrested. You can call me anything you want over the air waves and get nothing.” A spokesperson for the FCC said they field about 160 complaints a month at the regional office which covers all of Ohio and parts of Michigan and Kentucky. *** In what was called “Good Clean Fun”, Duds ‘n Suds, an Oregon laundromat, hosted a singles night. Popcorn and soap were available for free. Sports: Sugar Creek Golf Course in Elmore hosted Paul Hahn, professional trickshot golfer.

To the editor: I was impressed to read the Clay High School graduation rate is 93 percent and that 53 percent go on to college. Oregon has 3,710 students and the district has had many achievements. We need Teresa Fedor for education in Ohio. She was a talented teacher and has a military family. There are far too many charter schools that are failing. We would have good public schools if the money wasn’t spent on charter schools. Too much money was lost on the Electronic Classroom of Toledo that could have gone to public schools.

The community rallied and came out not only to support the Poppy Days but also to help with the distribution of the poppies in Elmore. The Boy Scouts and the National Honor Society were also part of the team of volunteers. With the generous out-pouring of love and respect for the veterans, the Elmore Community raised over $1,770 to help the local Ottawa County Veterans.

Exhibit explores medical practices of President Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; era From treating contagious diseases to amputating arms and legs and conducting brain surgery, the medical practices of President Rutherford B. Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day were risky and sometimes dangerous. The latest special exhibit at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums will focus on the medical practices and advances of the 19th century. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Search of Healing: Medical Practices of the 19th Centuryâ&#x20AC;? opens Friday, June 8, in the lower level of the museum and will be on exhibit through Sunday, Oct. 21. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Medically speaking, the 19th century was a pretty scary place,â&#x20AC;? said Kevin Moore, associate curator of artifacts at the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Few conditions were well understood, contagious diseases spread unchecked and many medical treatments did more harm than good.â&#x20AC;? President Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; father, First Lady Lucy Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; father and three of the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young children died of illnesses, including cholera, typhus and scarlet fever. In less than a century, researchers would understand that the spread of cholera could be prevented through water sanitation. The discovery of penicillin would slash the mortality rate of scarlet fever, and soldiers bound to fight in Europe during World War II would be vaccinated against typhus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Search of Healing: Medical Practices of the 19th Centuryâ&#x20AC;? will document the procedures and conventional medical wisdom that prevailed in the late 19th century. The exhibit will include President James A. Garfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death mask, which is on loan from the Western Reserve Historical Society, medical instruments used for brain surgery and amputation and other artifacts from the Hayes Presidential Library & Museumsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; collections. Although an assassin shot Garfield in 1881 at a Washington, D.C., train station, an infection given to him by his doctors during treatment for the wound was likely the actual cause of his death a couple months later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Visitors to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In Search of Healingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will hopefully leave with a better understanding of the grisly world of Victorian medicine and a better appreciation for the progress of modern healthcare,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. Admission for members is free. Admission for non-members is included with the price of a regular museum ticket. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday with the exception of holiday hours and closings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Search of Healing: Medical Practices of the 19th Centuryâ&#x20AC;? is sponsored by ProMedica Memorial Hospital and Paramount Advantage.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Be Your Own Hero Works of fiction are sometimes disparaged by those with a practical bias as being useless, or at best, a harmless diversion. They would rather read non-fiction, presumably because it gives them knowledge which they can actually use. But fiction often teaches us valuable lessons about how to live life, how to handle adversity, and what it is to be human in difficult circumstances. Furthermore, we are sometimes struck by the realization that we might bend circumstances and events to our will, and in effect become the heroes of our own life. That is a valuable lesson, and one which can be learned from reading fiction, but also from reading biographies, autobiographies, and the narratives of the Bible. Becoming a hero usually starts, as it does in fiction, with conflict or adversity. From there, one must be inspired to

resolve the conflict or deal with the adversity. And before the inspiration fades, one usually has to create a workable plan. In the same way that an author must plan her work, thinking over and trying out different plots and plans for character development, we should plan our own lives, perhaps imagining different paths toward achieving something great, something worth writing about. And just as an author has to develop her characters, so too do we have to develop our own moral character. “And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” —Romans 5: 2-4 NIV

“Body Worlds Rx,” on exhibit at Imagination Station Toledo through Labor Day, offers visitors an opportunity to get an “up-close-andpersonal” look into how the human body works. (Photo courtesy of Imagination Station Toledo)

Exhibit challenges visitors

Make healthy lifestyle choices Imagination Station invites visitors to get up-close-and-personal with the most sophisticated structure in the world – the human body at “Body Worlds Rx: Prescriptions for Healthy Living,” open at the science center through Labor Day. This extraordinary study of our bodies allows visitors to investigate the anatomical, physiological and biological sciences through the examination of whole-body plastinates, individual organs and translucent body slices. The specimens present a spectacular journey into the body’s structures and systems to consider how each function interdependently to sustain life. “While most bodies are generally made up of the same structures, the more we study the life sciences the more we learn that each person is different – not just on the outside, but on the inside too,” said Lori Hauser, Imagination Station CEO. “When we discover new information about the way our bodies work, the more we can properly care for ourselves, manage disease and live longer, healthier lives.” The exhibit, presented by ProMedica and sponsored by The University of

Toledo, challenges visitors to consider how daily lifestyle choices affect overall physical health, wellness, longevity and quality of life. Healthy body tissues are presented alongside those affected by a variety of medical conditions including cancer, diabetes, obesity, dementia and lung disease. “Body Worlds Rx helps us to learn about both the fragility of life and the resiliency of the human body as we examine how organs, muscles, nerves, bones and other tissues respond to injury and disease,” said Hauser. Imagination Station is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and noon-5 p.m. Sunday. Admission to “Body Worlds Rx: Your Prescription for Healthy Living” is $7 for members and $9 for non-members. The exhibit does also require Imagination Station general admission. The science center offers general admission discounts to Lucas County residents, teachers and military personnel. With proper I.D., residents receive $1.50 discount and free Saturday admission for kids 12 and under with paid adult admission; teachers and active military personnel receive free admission.

Vacations, nights out can be ruined by theft By Ron Craig Crime Prevention Specialist/ Community Policing Officer Summer has arrived, even though it won’t be official until later this month. Families will be going on vacation and enjoying more outdoor activities. It will be thought of as a time for relaxation. What you should not do is relax your consciousness of personal safety or safekeeping of the things you own. Whether you are going on an extended vacation or just going out for a night of entertainment, there are precautions you can take to safeguard your property. If you are leaving home to take a vacation, take a few moments to make sure your home is being watched and cared for. Make sure a neighbor, friend or relative you trust makes frequent visits to check the property, and to be seen by others who may be trolling the area to pick a target for crime. Have that person watch for packages that may be delivered during your absence, retrieving them to give to you when you return. Packages left for days is like having a billboard telling others you are not at home. Also, to help make your place look lived in, have the post office and the newspaper stopped if you don’t have anyone to get them for you on a daily basis. Purchasing an electronic timer to hook up to lights in your home is another good idea. Pick one that can be programmed to turn lights, a radio or TV and other devices on and off at different times each day. Patterns can be easily detected by someone paying close attention. Timers that are set for the same times every day create a pattern. Make sure all doors and windows are secure, and fix any problems with them before you leave. In crime prevention, there is a saying that some of the best protection comes

from “lights, locks and alarms.” Having lights, both inside and outside, can keep some criminals at bay. They like working in the dark. Remember, however, that even deadbolt locks do little to keep people out if they are placed within arms reach of a window. Alarms are a good idea, but they need not be expensive. Yes, you can have a professional alarm system installed that can alert police if it is triggered. Even if a system is installed with no charge for the equipment, remember you will still be responsible for monthly monitoring fees. Most home improvement stores carry inexpensive alarm devices that can be user-installed in minutes. While they are not professionally monitored by an alarm company, the sound they emit may be loud enough for a neighbor to hear or to at least scare off a would-be burglar. Turn your computer off and disconnect it from your internet source. This should prevent others from hacking into it while you are gone, only to find out after you return there has been a problem. By then, it may be too late to do much about the issue. If you have a garage, keep any windows covered to prevent anyone from knowing your car is gone, thus giving a clue you are not home. This is true all the time, not just when you are vacationing. If you are just going out for the night, there are still precautions you can take to prevent a potentially devastating loss. Keep lights and a television on if your house will not be occupied during your absence. This gives others the impression someone is at home. Keep all doors and windows secure while you are away.

Township residents may obtain further information on crime prevention and public safety topics by contacting Ron Craig at 419-4816354.

TMA exhibit offers a floral representation of Northwest Ohio

“

Law’s installations are powerful reminders of the need for us to be present in our everyday life...

“

British installation artist Rebecca Louise Law uses flowers and natural materials as her medium to “paint in the air.” The Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) has commissioned this vanguard contemporary artist to design and implement her largest sitespecific installation to date exploring the relationship between humanity and nature. Sourcing approximately 150,000 plants and flowers native to the Toledo region and requiring 1,000 volunteer hours of assistance from community members over 15 days, Law will create an immersive environment that will thematically and literally represent Northwest Ohio. A proponent of sustainability, Law also plans to reuse flowers from her previous installations around the world for the TMA project. Curated by TMA Director of Curatorial Affairs Halona Horton-Westbrook, “Rebecca Louise Law: Community” will be on view exclusively in Toledo from June 16 through Jan. 13, 2019. “We hope this installation will offer visitors a sensory experience, evocative of the people and places, natural history and landscapes of Northwest Ohio,” said Brian Kennedy, TMA’s Edward Drummond and Florence Scott Libbey director. “Law’s transporting vision wonderfully reflects the spirit and textures of our local and global communities.” Law uses both dried and fresh flowers in her work, and the process of decay is part of her time-based installations. Inspired by the dried flowers that hung in her attic as a child, Law’s “sculptures” are suspended from above and held together with copper wire. Drawing on the theme of community, the coordinated volunteer effort began in May, with local residents assisting with stringing together garlands of plants and flowers and taking some ownership over the ambitious installation, an aspect of the project that the artist feels passionate about. “I started out studying printmaking and painting, but I’ve always enjoyed nature. I come from seven generations of artists on my mum’s side, and seven generations of gardeners on my dad’s,” said Law. “My intention was to get others to physically experience a painting. I soon began to realize

that color wasn’t what mattered as much; it’s about nature and preservation, processes of life and decay.” Based in London, Law has been commissioned to create installations at the Onassis Cultural Centre in Athens, Chandran Gallery in San Francisco, Kew Royal Botanic Gardens in London and in New York City’s Times Square, among other venues. Her work has been exhibited at a range of galleries and at major institutions, including the Royal Academy and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. “Law’s installations are powerful reminders of the need for us to be present in our everyday life - to stop and observe, to look closely and to appreciate the natural wonder that always surrounds us,” said Norton-Westbrook, who became familiar with the artist’s work in the years she spent living in London before moving to Toledo. Law recently released the book, “Life in Death,” the most comprehensive collection to date of her career and concerns. Documenting Law’s earliest experiments to her most famous installations through evocative photography, the volume also offers a more personal glimpse of the contemporary artist’s life and inspirations. The book will be available in the Museum Store for $35. Admission to “Rebecca Louise Law: Community” is free for members and $10 for non-members. Discounted tickets are available for seniors, college students, and military personnel ($7) and youth ages 5-17 ($5). Exhibit sponsors include Taylor Cadillac, the Ohio Arts Council and the TMA Ambassadors with additional support from 2018 Exhibition Program Sponsor ProMedica.

Massachusetts offers history and nature, quaint and modern Massachusetts enjoys a glorious love affair with the sea. It’s been going on ever since the Pilgrims landed nearly 400 years ago. It’s easy to understand that close relationship with the sea, considering that its coastline measures a mere 100 miles as the crow flies, but eight times that distance when all the capes, harbors and islands including Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket are factored in. It’s all very special in many ways. Among all those capes and harbors, beaches and overlooks, big cities and picturesque fishing villages, there’s a unique blend of history and nature, quaint and modern, urban and rural, forest and beach, ocean and islands. It’s beautiful, fascinating, stained with the blood of patriots and flavored with the roots of our nation’s freedom. Great food is still served in oyster bars where Daniel Webster and JFK frequented; whales still rise to feed on Stellwagen Bank off Boston Harbor; the aura of some of America’s greatest writers remains, and everywhere there are echoes of the Pilgrims landing and the Revolutionary War. Boston anchors the Massachusetts shore, a bastion of colonial history and a focal point in the fight for America’s independence. Every visitor should walk at least a portion of the Freedom Trail, which connects 16 official stops ranging from Paul Revere’s Home and the old North Church to the USS Constitution and Faneuil Hall, meeting place of the Sons of Liberty. Along the way the ideal plan is to stop and reflect on these hallowed sites at the equally significant Union Oyster House, which, in addition to serving great food in a heritage-rich atmosphere, dates to the early 1700s and was itself a role-player in the American Revolution. Just 40-some miles from Boston Common and a world apart is the quintessential New England fishing harbor at Rockport, home of Motif #1, an 1800s red fishing shack festooned with colorful lobster trap floats at the end of a granite wharf. That scene is arguably the most painted and photographed in the world.

The famous lobster shack on the granite pier at Rockport, Massachusetts is one of the most recognizable scenes in the world. Picturesque harbor scenes are common in villages all along the Massachusetts coast. (Photo by Art Weber) Like many Massachusetts coastal towns, Rockport sports a robust art community that feeds dozens of small shops and studios that are both fun and fascinating. An atmosphere of tradition yet with an edge of young and fun spills over into many of the coast’s accommodations and restaurants. Consider Concord’s upscale 1716 Colonial Inn, where the Thoreau Room really could have been used by the famous essayist when he wasn’t at nearby Walden Pond or staying with his great friend down the street, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Chatham Inn at 359 Main in the thoroughly enjoyable Cape Cod town of the same name has been named one of the 10 most romantic hotels in the country and it will not disappoint. Summercamp on Martha’s Vineyard

Natural Wanders by Art Weber pays whimsical homage to the area’s light and lively summer traditions. The five-star Land’s End Inn sits on the high ground with a superb view of Provincetown and great sunrises and sunsets. And so it goes at other special venues like the high quality reasonably-priced Charlesmark at the finish line to the Boston Marathon and the new Fairmont overlooking New Bedford’s huge fishing fleet. At Gloucester, there’s the elegant Victorian

Castle Manor Inn within easy distance of the famous harbor and the Fisherman’s Memorial. At the other end of the spectrum are the comfortably modern vibes at Aloft Lexington, not far from Walden Pond. Nearby Artistry on the Green is a superb restaurant. In New Bedford, the whaling history runs so deep there’s a historic district and whaling museum preserved in a national park. Herman Melville’s “Moby Dick” is rooted in the Seamen’s Bethel there. Nearby, you’ll find Moby Dick Brewing Company and among their offerings is Ishm-Ale, an excellent Irish amber ale with one of the best-ever names.

Military admitted for free This summer, 51 museums in Ohio will open their doors to military and their families as part of the ninth annual Blue Star Museums program. The Wood County Historical Museum, Hayes Presidential Library & Museums and the Toledo Museum of Art are among the list of participating museums at arts. gov/bluestarmuseums. Blue Star Museums is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) in collaboration with Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense, and more than 2,000 museums nationwide to offer free admission to the nation’s active duty military personnel and their families from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. The free admission program is available for those currently serving in the United States Military—Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard as well as Active Duty and Reservists, National Guardsman (regardless of status), U.S. Public Health Commissioned Corps, NOAA Commissioned Corps, and up to five family members. Qualified members must show a Geneva Convention common access card, DD Form 1173 ID card (dependent ID), or a DD Form 1173-1 ID card for entrance into a participating Blue Star Museum. A full list of participating museums nationwide is available at arts.gov/ bluestarmuseums. This year’s Blue Star Museums program welcomes many new participating museums, such as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum in Indiana and the GulfQuest National Maritime Museum in Mobile, Alabama. These museums will join long-time participants such as the Plains Art Museum in Fargo, North Dakota, the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC, and the New Children’s Museum in San Diego, California. “Visiting a museum is a great way to get to know a community—whether it’s in your hometown or a stop on a road trip,” said NEA Chairman Jane Chu. “We appreciate the enthusiasm of museums all across the country who open their doors for military and their families to spend time together and have new arts experiences.” Museums are welcome to sign up for Blue Star Museums throughout the summer by emailing bluestarmuseums@ arts.gov.

Eagles’ season highlighted by school record 26 wins By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Kevin Leady had a talk with senior pitcher Jake Pickerel about his role in Tuesday’s game against visiting Lake. Leady told Pickerel he was going to start senior Cade Boos on the mound against the Flyers, and he explained why. “I knew if we could get the ball to Jake deep in the game, we would have an excellent shot to win,” Leady said Pickerel said he understood. “I wasn’t mad,” he said. “I threw Saturday in our district game, and we both knew I was going to be tired and I didn’t want to be fatigued. I knew I would finish it whenever coach needed me. I was strong.” Leady sent Pickerel to the mound to start the fourth inning and the score tied 1-1. Pickerel allowed a walk and one hit the rest of the way, and Eastwood secured the 3-1 win over the Flyers. It was the final game of the season for the Eagles (264), who went 12-2 in the Northern Buckeye Conference to claim their first outright conference title since 1988. “What a way to go out, winning their last game and clinching a title outright for the first time in 30 years,” Leady said. Leady, a standout baseball and football player at Eastwood, said he never won a conference title or a sectional title when he played for the Eagles. This year’s group of seniors helped Eastwood finish second in the NBC behind Rossford last season, and the Eagles shared the title with Lake and Elmwood in 2016. “Some of our coaches have played and coached a lot of games, and this is a special thing for us,” Leady said. “My assistant coach, Justin Bockbrader, also played at

Eastwood and he never won a league title. The last couple years have been something special for both of us.” The Eagles could have clinched the outright title on Monday, but they blew a 3-0 lead against Otsego (20-5, 11-3) and lost, 4-3. Last Saturday, Eastwood suffered a devastating 2-1 loss to fourth-ranked Archbold in the district championship game. “We had every opportunity in the world to win that game,” Leady said. “We just didn’t get the key hit. Two really good teams played really well that day.” Jake Pickerel, a four-year starter and two-time captain, went all seven innings and threw just 64 pitches in the loss to Archbold. He will graduate on June 2 with the most wins (18) in school history and more strikeouts (146) than anyone who ever pitched at Eastwood. Pickerel said Tuesday’s win was thrilling, but the loss in the district finals still stings. “We had big goals for this season,” he said, “and to go out like that was heartbreaking. But you have to move on. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still great that we won the league outright for the first time in 30 years. My dad (Marty) and our catcher’s dad (Gary Haas) were on the last Eastwood team to win it outright. It’s kind of crazy.” School record The Eagles’ 26 wins this season is a school record. Eastwood graduates all but two starters, while Jake Pickerel (third base), Boos (outfield) and first baseman Tyler Schmeltz will play at Owens Community College next season. Catcher Tyler Haas will play at Bowling Green State University. “I’ve been playing with most of the seniors since I was 8 years old, when my

neighbor put together a travel team,” Jake Pickerel said. “It hasn’t set in yet that it’s over. It was a fun group and we were real close.” Boos shared the NBC’s Offensive Player of the Year award with Otsego junior shortstop David Silva, and Haas was named the NBC Pitcher of the Year. Boos hit .478 with 36 runs, eight doubles, three triples, 25 RBI and 27 steals this season. He was 3-0 on the mound with a 1.27 ERA in 22 innings. “He’s my nephew, so I’m biased,” Leady said. “He was our catalyst. When he gets on base, the guys really benefit. He had 25 RBI, and your leadoff guy usually doesn’t have that many RBI. He proved he could hit for some power as well.” Haas went 7-1 with a 1.49 ERA and 47 strikeouts in 56.1 innings. He also batted .398 and scored 17 runs with 30 RBI. “He’s been our catcher for four straight years, and our pitchers have full confidence in him,” Leady said. “He really turned into a great cleanup hitter. He started out slow this year but got better and better. We knew he would be one of our best pitchers and we knew we had a shot to win every time he was out there.” Jake Pickerel and sophomore utility player Justin Pickerel were first-team AllNBC selections. Jake batted .434 with 26 runs, one home run and a team-high 35 RBI. He was 7-2 with a 1.31 ERA and struck out 54 batters in 58.2 innings. “Jake is a bulldog on the mound,” Leady said. “Any big game I’ve had the last three years, he’s the guy I wanted to have the ball. He is as tough as it gets on the mound.” Justin Pickerel, who pitched and played in right field, left field, at second base and behind the plate, hit .408 with 33 runs, 18 RBI and 15 stolen bases. He went

5-0 on the mound with a 1.81 ERA. “For anyone to play all those positions at any age, it’s very difficult,” Leady said. “He will be our ace next year. We’re really excited about what he’s done his first couple years.” Senior outfielder Brendan Halko was named to the All-NBC second team after hitting .342 with 23 runs and 19 RBI. Halko also went 3-0 with a 1.10 ERA on the mound. “We threw him out in right field a few games as a freshman and he’s been a staple for us,” Leady said. “He has been second team all-league the last two years and he was a great role player who really stepped up. For your eight-hole hitter to hit .342 is amazing.” Eastwood had a pair of honorable mention All-NBC selections in junior second baseman Gavin Slattman and senior shortstop Grant Hirzel, a four-year starter. Slattman was also a designated hitter. “Gavin really came on late,” Leady said. “He’s a guy who will transition over to shortstop for us. Grant has been a staple of what we’ve done. He’s done a fantastic job ever since he was a freshman.” Senior first baseman Tyler Schmeltz hit .299 with 21 runs and 19 RBI this season. “He is one of the best defensive first basemen we’ve had here,” Leady said. “I like how tough he is, and he works extremely hard to get better.” Next year’s team could have a difficult time duplicating what the Eagles have done the past three seasons (68 wins), but Leady is excited to move on to the next chapter. “We’ll put out a nice team next year,” he said. “We’ll compete and we’ll be competitive. We have some guys who are really going to need to step up and see how things go.”

Northwood running duo racking up the team points By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Northwood junior Trinity Fowler won the Division III regional championship in the 800-meter run and is the only Ranger who qualified for the state meet. Ask anyone from Northwood, and they’ll tell you it wasn’t meant to be that way. Senior Allison Vogl was expected to qualify in multiple sprint events, but she suffered an injury during a regional preliminary and her prep career ended right there. For Fowler, she ran the 800 in 2:17.43, beating second place Liberty-Benton freshman Taylor Ward (2:19.69) by over two seconds to win a regional title. Fowler’s goal was also to make it to state — mission accomplished for her. She says she “achieved everything (she) set for and trained hard for.” However, Coach Jeremy Lewin admits the suddenly hot temperatures are not the ideal conditions for a distance runner, but believed Fowler would still do well at the state meet. “It’s the time where you don’t hold back. You run loose and fast and see where it takes you,” Lewin said. Vogl was a standout all season long in the 100, 200, 400 and various relays, depending on where Northwood needed points. Lewin said her times were dropping “when they needed to drop” until the injury happened. “Allison has been a staple for our team the past couple seasons,” Lewin said. “She’s just been a phenomenal sprinter for us in the 100, 200 and the 400 and whichever of the relays we wanted to put her in, and recently it was the 4x400. So, she’s just been a superstar athlete the past couple years.” Fowler and Vogl combined to score over 70 points in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference meet. They led the Rangers to a third place finish, scoring 92.3 points to place behind Danbury (109.3) and Toledo Christian (104.3) in an eight-team field. “When you have two girls on the team

who can score over 70 points, it’s a pretty good feeling when you are a part of it as one of the two. We were trying to win it as a team and then that didn’t happen, but we also have to remember that we are very young. I’m the only senior, Trinity is the only junior runner and the rest are basically freshmen,” Vogl said. Vogl won the 100 (13.25), 200 (27.07), 400 (1:02.84), Fowler won the 800 (2:27.8),

1600 (5:35.69), 3200 (12:30.35), and surprised everyone by taking the 300 hurdles (49.14). “During the league meet, they knew they had to get loaded up to try and do the best they could for us. (Allison) ran six events and she won her three open events and helped her 4x200 team take second. So, I mean, she scored 38 points,” Lewin said. “Trinity won all four of her events.

She did something I have never seen happen before. She came to me with the idea of running in other events, and we were going to put her in the mile (1600) and the 800 and the two-mile (3200) because we are trying to find her a spot where she can score points the best.” “She has always wanted to do the relays, but she wanted to try the hurdles. It’s one of those things that she asked me, ‘Can I do the hurdles?’ And, the first thing I said was ‘No. No one runs a 300 hurdle and an 800 back-to-back,’” Lewin continued. “She trained for one week and she did it. She ran the mile and won, she came back maybe half an hour later and ran the 300 hurdle and 800, and won both of those and ran good times, too. She came back less than 20 minutes later and ran the two-mile and won.” Lewin says Fowler has narrowed her college choices down to three or four schools. Vogl has made her college choice and adds that the injury doesn’t mean her record-setting sprint career is over yet. “Allison looked around over the summer and fall at some D-II, D-III colleges to go and run, but none of those schools really appealed to her, so she’s going to attend the University of Toledo and try to walk onto their track team,” Lewin said. “For her, school came first — that was the most important thing and she felt most comfortable going to UT — they had what she wants as far as her future. She’s already talked to their coach a couple times and they are aware that she wants to walk on. The more power to her. She should be in good shape.” Vogl explained, “I’m going to try and make the track team. Right now, it looks ‘iffy’ as far as my times, but I’ll try to walk on in the fall and I’ll be majoring in accounting. “It’s been a rough season medical-wise. I’ve had a lot of struggles the past two years, but I’m running the same times doing the same thing hoping when I get into that big competition it will make me go faster.” (Press photo of Trinity Fowler by Doug Karns/CardinalStritch.org.

Lake’s Makenzie Briggs moving past her competition By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Makenzie Briggs holds three Lake school records and graduated 10th in her class on May 20. One more milestone was within her reach at the Division II state track and field meet June 1-2 at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus. Briggs earned a spot to compete in the 300-meter hurdles when she broke a 24-year-old school record and finished second at the regional meet on May 26 in Lexington. Her time of 45.66 seconds erased the previous record of 46.1, set by Melissa Konst in 1994. “I was really excited,” said Briggs, who graduated with a 4.1 GPA and plans to study biology at the University of Cincinnati. “Since last year, I didn’t think it would be possible to run that time. Last year my fastest time was 46.6, and I only ran that one time.” Briggs said one of the reasons for her record-setting performance at regionals was because she only had to compete in one race that day. “I usually run four races,” she said. “For the finals, I only had to focus on one race.” Briggs won the district title in the 300 and she was also a member of the 4x200 relay team that set a school record (1:46.68). Her teammates included Sophia Jackson, Colette Askins and Mya Staczek. The previous record of 1:47.95 was set in 2011. Briggs also holds the school record in the 100 hurdles. Her time of 15.81 during a sixth-place run in the district finals broke her own school record in that event. She started competing in the hurdles as an eighth-grader. “I wasn’t that good when I first started, but the hurdles were the events I enjoyed the most,” Briggs said. “I tried open events like the 100 and 200 and I wasn’t very good. They did 100 hurdles and 200 hurdles in middle school, and I wasn’t very good. I was really small compared to everybody else, so I didn’t have long strides. I’m still smaller than most hurdlers.” Fourth-year Lake coach Jason Schober said the 5-foot-2 Briggs has a gymnast’s physique. She was a member of a competitive cheerleading team for three years and got to compete all over the country, including events in Dallas, Orlando and Louisville,. “She’s one of those athletes that are pretty happy-go-lucky,” Schober said. “She’s probably one of the most easygoing, top-quality athletes I’ve been around. I’ve coached football for 18 years, so I’ve been around a lot of athletes. I’ve joked with her and with other people that I wouldn’t have coached other people the way I have her. She’s so nonchalant and she doesn’t seem to get nervous. She just goes and does her thing.” Briggs ran on Lake’s 4x100 relay team that placed second (51.78) at the Northern Buckeye Conference meet, helping the Flyers finish fourth in the team standings. Her teammates were Courtney Johnson, Sophia Jackson and Staczek.

It appears that Eastwood senior Katelyn Meyer is leading Lake senior Makenzie Briggs, but Briggs would eventually go on to win this Northern Buckeye Conference hurdle event. (Press file photo by Lee Welch/FamilyPhotoGroup.com) Briggs was Lake’s second-leading individual scorer this spring, just behind Staczek. She also became one of only three four-year varsity letter winners on the Flyers’ boys and girls track teams “She has great form in the hurdles,” Schober said. “I’m not an expert when it comes to hurdling. We have a volunteer coach (Nick Encalado) who has done a great job with her. She has gotten fast. She only did the hurdles her freshman and sophomore year. She wasn’t our best hurdler, but you could see she was getting better.”

really tired with my endurance in the last 100 (meters). I needed to work on that, and I’m doing a better job of finishing my races this year.” Briggs said her goal at this year’s state meet was to finish in the top nine and make it to the awards podium. She had the ninthbest qualifying time. “It would be really exciting,” Briggs said. “I have a lot of people coming down to support me. It would be really cool to do that for everyone who has been supporting me.”

Briggs is no stranger to the state meet. She qualified in the 300 hurdles last year along with the 4x100 relay. She finished 15th in the 300s, and the relay took 14th in the preliminary race. Briggs said that performance changed her approach to training entering her senior season. “I’ve been doing longer distance training to make sure my endurance is good,” she said. “I’ve been running 600s and 400s in practice and it’s helped a lot. I was doing 200s and 300s last year. Usually at end of the race (last year), I would kind of get

‘Unique situation’ plays well for Wildcats By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Woodmore track and field coach Jim McMahon called it a “unique situation.” The Wildcats’ girls 4x800 relay team took fifth place at the Tiffin regional meet last week and received an at-large bid to the Division III state meet June 1-2 at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus. Canton Central Catholic also received an at-large bid to compete in the 4x800. This is the first year the state meet takes the top four qualifiers in each region and the next two fastest regional times in the state. The Jesse Owens track has nine lanes instead of the standard eight. “Our fifth-place time was maybe a fourth-place time in a different region,” McMahon said. “There was some logic to get those two extra teams in, those two extra opportunities, and we’re grateful for that.” The Wildcats’ 4x800 relay consists of freshmen Ava Beam, Greta Bauder and Olivia Thatcher, and junior Nora LaMunyon. The girls finished in 9:56.12 at regionals, beating their previous season-best time of 10:05.80, which they ran in the district finals. “Our distance coach (Lacy Seamans) kind of pieced the 4x800 together, and we’ve been keeping track of their splits,” McMahon said. “Their splits have improved dramatically throughout the season. Some of these girls are still running PRs on their split times. It was nice seeing that inexperienced group thrive in that (regional meet) environment. It was a unique situation to get them to Columbus.” Also qualifying to the state meet from Woodmore were sisters Carly Rothert, a senior, and sophomore Claire Rothert in the 100 hurdles and 300 hurdles, respectively. Claire took fourth at regionals, with a time of 47.5; Carly also placed fourth in 15.78. In the D-III boys meet, Woodmore senior Jeremy Schiavone qualified in the 200 and sophomore Cole Sotak qualified in the pole vault. The Wildcats’ 4x800 team won the Northern Buckeye Conference title in 10:09.21. Beam was also the NBC champ in the 3200 (12:08.03), while Thatcher was

Wlodarz third team All-American The National Junior College Athletic Association named Owens Community College volleyball player Cassidy Wlodarz (Cardinal Stritch), a freshman, to the Academic All-American Third Team. Wlodarz, a 5-feet-2 defensive specialist, had 274 digs, 112 sets and 30 aces in 41 matches last fall. She helped Owens to a 40-1 record, including a perfect 16-0 in the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference. (— Chris Schmidbauer, Owens Sports Information Director)

She knew going in she would have to run a good race to get out. She did that and I was really happy for her. She’s been very consistent. Her best race is the two-mile, where Ava is the better miler. They’re both great competitors and they make each other better. Greta is more mid-distance but has the same mentality. They’ve been competing on the same teams for years and they

complement each other very well.” LaMunyon is a first-year participant in track, but she played soccer and basketball for the Wildcats. “She’s a very athletic girl,” McMahon said. “I’m not sure how she came out (for track). The other girls on the 4x800 relay are all basketball girls, too, and we’re happy to have Nora. She has been in the 4x200 and was part of our regional qualifier in the 4x400, so she’s kind of done a little of everything.” McMahon said the relay team’s goal in Columbus is to run personal-best splits and enjoy the experience. “We’re young and inexperienced,” McMahon said. “Hopefully, if we run our best times of the year, that will be special for the girls and that’s all I could hope for.”

Urbana University freshman pitcher Jade Laviolette (Northwood) appeared in 24 games this season, starting seven. In 53 innings, she finished 2-4, striking out nine, walking 19 and owning an 8.49 ERA. At the plate, she had one hit in seven at bats and walked once. In the field, she had 17 put outs and one assist. Urbana finished the season 10-40 overall and 8-24 in the Mountain East Conference.

Koch, Henneman beat the odds by qualifying for state By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Genoa junior discus thrower Noah Koch has beaten the odds before. Koch wrestled heavyweight for the Comets over the winter and ended up taking third place at the Division III state tournament. “I wasn’t even supposed to get to state,” said the 6-foot-3, 240-pound Koch. Last spring, Koch won the Division II district title in the discus, only to end up with a ninth-place finish at the regional meet. “Not getting out of regionals made me want to get right back at it,” he said. “There wasn’t one day over the summer and fall that I wasn’t thinking about not making it. I didn’t make it to finals and took ninth, and I wasn’t happy with that. I was back at it a week after the season ended.” Koch was all business at the D-II regional on May 26 in Lexington. He won the discus with a career-best throw of 171-0, good enough to qualify for the state meet June 1-2 at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus. “It felt pretty good,” said Koch, who started throwing the discus in the eighth grade. “Last year I had my mind set on going to the state meet. I thought I could achieve it. I threw pretty well for only being my third year. It was something I always wanted to try.” Koch will be joined in Columbus by teammates Alexis Bryer, a junior, in the shot put, and senior Jenna Henneman in the pole vault. The girls will compete in the D-III meet. Koch’s winning throw at the regional went farther than his previous career best by almost 10 feet.“He’s definitely had this in him,” Genoa coach Luke Hodulik said. “We knew he was capable of this. It was just a matter of him putting it all together at the right time. He’s been consistent at each meet.” Koch, who is coached by Genoa throw

Noah Koch (Press photo by Lee Welch/FamilyPhotoGroup.com) coach Mike Pendleton, beat runner-up Erik Fertig of Eastwood (160-1) by nearly 11 feet. Koch’s winning throw came on his third attempt; none of his other five attempts surpassed 160 feet. “I knew if I threw 170 I would most likely win the meet,” Kochs said. “With Fertig there, he made me throw farther.

He’s such good competition to have around it makes you want to go to your fullest potential.” Koch’s goal this year was state meet or bust. “Now that I’m there, my goal is to place as high as I can,” he said. “I went to the state tournament in wrestling, and being on

that big stage will help me get mentally prepared on what it takes at that level.” Henneman is competing in her first state meet after falling short of qualifying at regionals as a sophomore and junior. “It means the world, especially because my parents (Cassandra Aumiller and Timothy Henneman) are extremely proud of me, and that’s amazing,” she said. “I’ve been vaulting since seventh grade and my parents took me to a lot of lessons. It was a lot of time and effort, and to be able to (qualify for the state meet) when I’m about to graduate is absolutely amazing.” Henneman took third in the pole vault at the Tiffin regional, with a jump of 10-6. Her previous best vault was 10-0, which she did last season and equaled a few times this spring. “We’ve been able to count on a lot of points from Jenna all year,” Hodulik said. “She’s a great example of one of those kids who didn’t know a whole lot about track, but she came out and found an event she loved and it became her passion. She put in a ton of time in the offseason. I’m really proud of her.” Henneman, who plans to compete in the pole vault and study pre-veterinary medicine at Wilmington (Ohio) College, set a goal of vaulting at least 10-6 at the state meet. “To get above that,” she said, “would be amazing.” Bryer, the younger sister of Genoa boys discus record-holder Logan Bryer, threw the shot a career-best 38-8.25 at the regional meet. That was good enough for third place and broke her own school record. This is her first trip to the state meet. “She’s been great,” Hodulik said. “She’s pretty similar to Noah in that she’s capable of throwing a big one. Her baseline level is very competitive as it is. Every once in a while she will throw a big one out there. She’s been getting more consistent in her numbers toward the end of the year.” Bryer was a regional qualifier in the discus, placing sixth, and she ran the anchor leg on Genoa’s 4x100 relay this season.

For third straight season, Clay’s Honnah Susor first team Clay graduate Honnah Susor just finished her senior season at Wright State University earning first team honors as an outfielder in the Horizon League for the third consecutive year. Susor joins Louie Haney (2009-11) as the only other WSU player to receive the honor three times. Susor put together another terrific season for WSU, leading the team with a .325 batting average, but was also at the top of a few Horizon League statistics. She ranked first in the league in stolen bases (35), third in runs scored (40), sixth in on-base percentage (.427), and seventh in doubles (10). Susor concludes her career near the top of many program records as she ranks tied for first in career triples (20), third in on-base percentage (.429), third in walks (74), fourth in stolen bases (75), and fourth in runs scored (143). Entering the 2018 season, the Wright State softball team was coming off a 21-31 season with a new first-year head coach in Laura Matthews; losing five starters due to graduation or transfers, including four of their top five hitters; and bringing in eight new freshmen to the team. The Raiders responded to that adversity by putting together a solid season, with many positives to build on for the future. Although the Raiders began the 2018 season

with a record of 0-11 that did not stop them as the Raiders responded to even more adversity. Under the tutelage of Matthews, the team started to put things together and began to play winning softball. After that start, the Raiders finished the season 21-21, including a strong 12-10 record in conference play. That 12-10 Horizon League record marked the fifth consecutive year that the Raiders finished above .500 in conference play. WSU also defeated every Horizon League opponent at least once throughout the regular season and postseason tournament. Building on that strong conference play, the Raiders earned the number four seed in the Horizon League Tournament, and advanced to the semifinals of the tournament before narrowly bowing out 2-1 to Oakland University. “Being as young as we are, we’ve set a good tone for our underclassmen on how to keep a tough head,” Susor said. The awareness of her softball career entering its final stages was noticeable from the emotion in Susor’s voice. “My confidence level has definitely improved from the past,” Susor said. “Knowing that it’s my last season, I haven’t regretted anything and given it my all.” (— from Wright State press releases)

Six Rangers set to keep softball team’s momentum going By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com In her 16th year as softball coach at Northwood, Jennifer Noonan saw her team finish 8-8 overall and 6-3 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, including a district tournament berth. In the TAAC, Northwood finished second behind Division IV regional finalist Gibsonburg, which was also the team that knocked the Rangers out of the tourney in a 14-2 district rout that was mercy-ruled after five innings. “Gibsonburg went undefeated and the rest of the league teams are a lot more competitive with each other,” Noonan said. “Gibsonburg and Danbury are leaving the league after this year. “Winning sectionals over Danbury (9-2 Northwood win) was the best game of the season. We had lost to them, 13-8, earlier in the season. This was the first time I have won sectionals as a coach and to do it with this group of seniors was amazing. They all worked hard to get there,” Noonan continued. Noonan’s 16 years at Northwood include five as head varsity coach, where she sports a 68-64 record, and 11 more as junior varsity coach. Now, she feels like the program is turning the corner. This year she had 10 lettermen return and next year she expects to have six, but she’s still dealing with inexperience. “We started the season with seven freshmen and three girls that didn’t play last year, so 10 new faces and we spent a lot of time working on team bonding and building trust with each other and at the end of the season they were playing as one unit,” Noonan said. Her key contributors at the plate this year were Chastity Eisenhard (.475 batting average, 8 doubles, 17 RBI), Ana Hoddinott (.471, 6 doubles, 3 triples, 3 home runs, 14 RBI), Kirsten Stacy (.444, 2 2B, 3 3B, 1 HR, 3 stolen bases, 14 RBI), Angel Mendoza (.418, 4 2B, 2 3B, 1 HR, 19 RBI) and Mackenzie Fullenlove (.415, 8 2B, 2 HR, 14 RBI). Hoddinott had a team-leading 22 runs.

Northwood senior Mackenzie Fullenlove. (Photo by Jeff Holcomb) “We have worked a lot on hitting this season and we ended with five girls batting over .400 so I feel like all of the hard work paid off,” Noonan said. “We have eight seniors, two juniors, two sophomores and seven freshmen and we found success in blending our seniors with our younger players. Two of our leading hitters are freshmen — Angel and Ana.” Of those five .400 or better hitters, four are slated to return next year. Two underclassmen, Eisenhard, a sophomore, and Hoddinott earned honorable mention alldistrict honors.

“Ana Hoddinitt has caught, played shortstop and first base,” Noonan continued. “She knows the game inside and out. “Ana H,, Angel, and Ana Tristan are three of the freshmen that have all contributed and done really well on varsity this year. Ana and Angel play middle infield and have great range and Ana H., I can put anywhere and I know she will make the outs and lead the team. “Angel was voted Golden Glove by her teammates this year. Any spot we put her in she makes outs. Her sister is Lexi Rudnicki, who broke eight school hitting records and

graduated last year.” Noonan had three more players hit .300 or better — Megan Goins (.378, 2 2B, 11 RBI), Casey Meadors (.373, 2 2B, 2 3B, 7 RBI, 2 SB) and Becca Brittian (.357, 1 3B, 4 RBI). Meadors also had a team-leading 11 walks and was second in runs scored (20). A senior pitcher and first basemen, she has committed to play softball at the University of Northwest Ohio. In the TAAC, Eisenhard and Hoddinott were joined on the first team by Meadors. Stacy, a junior, and Fullenlove, a senior, were second team. Earning HM were Mendoza and Goins, a senior. Goins, an outfielder, went 2-for-2 with two RBIs in the district finals. “Mackenzie Fullenlove has played third base all year and done a fantastic job protecting the left side and leading the outfield in cut offs back to the infield,” Noonan said. “Kirsten Stacy is the true definition of an athlete. No matter where I put her, she goes all out 110 percent all the time.” Still, with all that talent, there was a lack of depth that became obvious under certain conditions. “We struggled when a starting player was unable to attend a game. When we were missing one piece it really disrupted our starting lineup,” Noonan said. Noonan says her seniors were “awesome.” “They worked really hard all season and the past four years,” Noonan said, adding that three were recognized academically and most seniors already have plans for their futures. Fullenlove is enlisting into the U.S. Air Force. Brittian, a catcher and outfielder, will attend the University of Toledo, and Delaney Genson, an outfielder, is heading to UT to be a cheerleader. Rashelle Jefferies, an outfielder and second basemen, plans to attend Toledo Beauty Academy to study cosmetology. Lyndsey DeSelms is an outfielder who plans to attend Mercy College for nursing and Goins is heading to the University of Cincinnati. Genson, Goins, and DeSelms were selected all-district scholar-athletes.
