Marina District

Urban playground envisioned By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com At the Navarre Park Shelter House Thursday, developers described an urban playground for all ages is coming to the property once known as the Marina District. That property on the eastern bank of the Maumee River is where Metroparks Toledo promises to open its newest waterfront park in a matter of a few years. The Metroparks is planning to purchase 70 acres of the property known as the Marina District in East Toledo and has hired SmithGroupJJR to develop a master plan. Landscape architect Cheryl Zuellig, vice president for SmithGroupJJR, gave a glimpse as to where that plan is heading to an eager public Thursday night at the shelter house. SmithGroupJJR is the same design firm that created the master plan for the Middlegrounds Metropark, now open downtown between Ottawa Street and the Maumee River, and Howard Marsh Metropark, which opened in late April in Jerusalem Township. In describing the Marina District property, Zuellig and Metroparks Toledo Executive Director Dave Zenk are saying that on a site that once produced electricity for Toledo residents, “this transformative Metropark brings a new kind of energy to the banks of the Maumee River.” The land is currently owned by ProMedica, but Metroparks announced in April 2017 that it will purchase 52 acres for about $3 million in three phases, in part with Clean Ohio Grants and other public and private funding. Metroparks will also assume an option to purchase an additional 17 acres owned by the City of Toledo. At the same time, ProMedica announced plans to sell a portion of the land to Columbus-based Continental Real Estate Companies to develop housing and retail that will complement the park. “As we’ve seen already, projects like Continued on page 4

Water fair pricing bill draws support By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A bill pending in the Ohio House of Representatives that would impose penalties on municipalities that charge higher sewer or water rates outside their corporation limits than they charge users within their boundaries has drawn the endorsement of the director of the Northwestern Water and Sewer District. Jerry Greiner said he supports House Bill 602, named the The Clean Water Fair Pricing Act, because it would stop “an unfair practice that is used throughout the state.” “State tax dollars, paid by all tax payers, may have been used by the host city to build excess water or sewer capacity, and some of those same tax payers are paying again through higher utility costs charged to users living outside the city limits, “ Greiner said. “Residents of surrounding townships and other communities who buy these services have no choice but to pay these higher costs.” The district contracts with the City of Toledo to purchase water for users in Rossford, Perrysburg, Perrysburg Township,

a portion of Northwood, Walbridge, Lake Township and Troy Township. It also contracts with the City of Oregon to provide water for the eastern portion of Northwood, portions of Lake Township and Millbury. HB 602 establishes penalties for municipalities that set higher charges, including a 20 percent reduction in a municipality’s share of Local Government Funds. It also renders the municipality ineligible for state water and sewer development assistance.

Under certain conditions, a municipality could forfeit its entire share of Local Government Funds as well as become ineligible for state water/sewer development monies. Forfeited LGF revenue would be redistributed to subdivisions affected by the higher rates but the revenue could be restored if the municipal corporation enters into a qualifying area waste treatment plan. “We think this legislation is appropriate and timely as the region considers long-term water options. Higher water and sewer bills for external customers are not necessary should this legislation be approved,” Greiner said. Representative Mike Duffey, RWorthington, introduced the bill in April and provided sponsor testimony last month before the House finance committee. Duffey told the committee some cities charge township residents 50 percent or higher prices as well as use water and sewer service to force annexation or require income tax revenue sharing on development projects. “The result is many townships refuse to connect, leaving many residents with backyard septic systems that are a known Continued on page 2

More funding could cut costs to motorists

Cyclists to stop in Elmore St. John’s United Church of Christ Rice Street, Elmore, will host about 30 bicyclists this week as the group travels across the country to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity. The cyclists are expected to arrive in the village about 5:30 p.m. on June 28 and will stay overnight. Their trip began in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and they plan to reach Bellingham, Washington by late August. While at St. John’s, the riders will receive dinner upon their arrival and an early morning breakfast before they depart June 29 en route for Ann Arbor, Michigan. The community is invited to meet with the riders to discuss their trip and the need for affordable housing. The organization, Bike and Build, is sponsoring the trip. For more information on their mission and stay in Elmore, contact St. John’s U.C.C., 419-862-3511, Gordon Hille, 419-862-3716, or visit the website, bikeandbuild.org.

Roads and bridges that are deteriorated, congested or lack some desirable safety features cost Ohio motorists a total of $12 billion statewide annually - $1,976 per driver in the Toledo urban area - due to higher vehicle operating costs, traffic crashes and congestion-related delays. Increased investment in transportation improvements at the local, state and federal levels could relieve traffic congestion, improve road, bridge and transit conditions, boost safety, and support longterm economic growth in Ohio, according to a new report released today by TRIP, a Washington, D.C. based national transportation research organization. The TRIP report, “Modernizing Ohio’s Transportation System: Progress and Challenges in Providing Safe, Efficient and Well-Maintained Roads, Highways and Bridges,” finds that throughout Ohio, approximately one-third of major locally and state-maintained urban roads are in poor or mediocre condition, seven percent of locally and state-maintained bridges are structurally deficient, and increasing congestion is causing significant delays for commuters and businesses. TRIP’s report examines the impact of additional funds provided largely by the use of Ohio Turnpike bond proceeds, and documents the state’s significant shortterm and long-term transportation funding shortfalls. It includes lists of needed transportation projects in the state’s largest urban areas that have adequate funding to proceed by 2023, and needed projects in each area that lack funding to proceed. Operating costs Driving on deficient roads in the Toledo area costs the average driver $1,976 per year in the form of extra vehicle operating costs (VOC) as a result of driving on roads in need of repair, lost time and fuel due to congestion-related delays, and the costs of traffic crashes in which roadway features likely were a contributing factor. The TRIP report calculates the cost to motorists of insufficient roads in the Cincinnati, Cleveland-Akron, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo urban areas.

“

These conditions are only going to get worse, increasing the additional costs to motorists...

“

cause of river pollution and public well pollution,” he told the committee. The bill requires a municipality that accepts state funding for water and sewer upgrades “be prohibited from discriminating against customers based solely on where they live,” he said. “If a city does not want to rely upon state and/or federal money, then they may charge whatever price they wish. But the State of Ohio would also not be involved in allocating state taxpayer dollars to cities who choose to openly discriminate against other State of Ohio taxpayers.” Matthew DeTemple, executive director of the Ohio Township Association, also provided proponent testimony to the committee. “All local governments should have the authority to offer water and sewer services to their residents or, at the very least, facilities built wholly or partially with federal or state funds should be available to all people who live in the service areas regardless of the jurisdiction in which they reside,” he said.

While the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) was able to invest $2 billion in the state’s transportation system in 2017 and $2.35 billion in 2018, investment is set to drop to $1.85 billion in 2019 and to $1.7 billion in 2021. ODOT estimates it will face a transportation funding shortfall of $14 billion through 2040. Additional investment has allowed the state to move forward with needed transportation projects, but many projects remain stalled due to a lack of available funding. The TRIP report finds that 19 percent of major locally and state-maintained roads in the Toledo urban area are in poor condition and 19 percent are in mediocre condition, costing the average motorist an additional $468 each year in extra vehicle operating costs, including accelerated vehicle depreciation, additional repair costs, and increased fuel consumption and tire wear. Statewide, 23 percent of major urban roads are in poor condition and 12 percent are in mediocre condition. Aging infrastructure “The Toledo region relies upon well-maintained, safe and efficient transportation infrastructure to enhance economic competitiveness, increase employment opportunities, and improve quality of life,” said David Gedeon, vice president of transportation for the Toledo Metropolitan

Area Council of Government (TMACOG). “The updated report from TRIP identifies roads and bridges in the Toledo area and across the state that require significant investment to rebuild our aging infrastructure. TMACOG calls upon our federal and state legislators to increase infrastructure funding and close the widening maintenance gap.” Traffic congestion in the Toledo area is worsening, costing the average driver $983 annually in lost time and wasted fuel. The average motorist in the Toledo area loses 41 hours each year – more than a full working week - stuck in traffic congestion. Seven percent of Ohio’s bridges are structurally deficient, with significant deterioration to the bridge deck, supports or other major components. Traffic crashes in Ohio claimed the lives of 5,360 people between 2012 and 2016 - an average of 1,072 fatalities per year. The fatality rate on Ohio’s non-interstate rural roads in 2016 was approximately two-and-a-half times higher than on all other roads in the state (1.84 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles of travel vs. 0.71). The efficiency and condition of Ohio’s transportation system, particularly its highways, is critical to the health of the state’s economy. Annually, $1.1 trillion in goods are shipped to and from sites in Ohio, relying heavily on the state’s network of roads and bridges. Increasingly, companies are looking at the quality of a region’s transportation system when deciding where to re-locate or expand. Regions with congested or poorly maintained roads may see businesses relocate to areas with a smoother, more efficient and more modern transportation system. “These conditions are only going to get worse, increasing the additional costs to motorists, if greater investment is not made available at the state and local levels of government,” said Will Wilkins, TRIP’s executive director. “Without adequate funding, Ohio’s transportation system will become increasingly deteriorated and congested, hampering economic growth, safety and quality of life.”

New features added to Oregon Boomfest By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

Cruisin’ As in previous years, the event will also feature the classic car show “Cruisin’ the Grove,” from noon to 4:30 p.m. “The car show people will start bringing in the cars at 7:30 a.m. to get a preferred spot,” he said Also on hand will be wagon pulling Clydesdale horses with free rides around the complex for kids. “We’ve had that before. It seems very popular,” he said. The band Arctic Clam will perform throughout the evening, starting at 6:30 p.m.. Nicole Khoury, who is a judge with the Toledo Municipal Court, is the lead singer. Also on stage with the band will be

In previous years, the city estimates between 10,000 and 12,000 people have attended Boomfest.

“

Lou Gramm, of the band Foreigner, will headline Oregon’s 9th annual Boomfest on Saturday, July 7th, at Oak Shade Grove, 3624 Seaman Road, home of the German American Festival. Gramm will sing hits “Hot Blooded, “Urgent,” “Waiting for a Girl Like You,” “Cold as Ice,” “Double Vision, and “Juke Box Hero.” Mayor Mike Seferian, who came up with the idea of Boomfest, said the event is growing in popularity each year. “We’re adding things every year,” he said. “This year, we’re going to have a national power lifting show for the first time. I’ve never been to one. But there will be some people from out of state participating. They do bench presses and things like that,” he said. It will start at 9 a.m. Also new will be a nine hole miniature golf course on the grounds for young adults and kids, he said. “We have other kids’ activities, too, such as bouncy houses, face painting and more.”

the Amelia Airhearts providing harmony. Lou Gramm, originator and main singer of Foreigner, will perform at 9 p.m. until the fireworks start at 10:15 p.m. Arctic Clam will then continue after the fireworks with live entertainment until midnight, according to Seferian. “He will perform all of the hits when he was with Foreigner,” said Seferian. “He’s the biggest act we’ve had so far at Boomfest.” Seferian said he’s working on a big surprise that has not yet been confirmed. He will know by next week, just before the event. “I can’t say what it is right now, but it’s going to be a big attraction if we can get it,” he said. Food and beverage vendors will also be at the event. “We try to improve on that each year,” he said. Entry and parking are free. “I like to always remind people to bring their folding chairs and plan to spend the whole day with us. We have the best show around within 100 miles.”

“It’s fun,” said City Councilman James Seaman. “The nice thing about Boomfest is that it’s free to come and see the fireworks. There are a lot of family activities. Plus, there is really great music. Everyone will hear songs they are familiar with. Whenever people can hear songs they grew up with, they really enjoy it. It’s nostalgic.” Community Seferian said he started Boomfest nine years ago to draw crowds to a high quality event. “I had it in my mind a couple of years before that. I wanted to start it because we had smaller events around the city every year. None of them were popular enough to generate excitement from the residents as something to look forward to. I wanted a real quality event. Instead of having these little events each year, I thought of combining them and reallocating funds into one big event. And it worked,” he said. “Anyone who has ever attended will say they have gone back each year. It is unnecessary to promote this each year. The people that came in the past always return unless they have an out of town event they have to attend,” he added. “We are opening our community to you, our residents, and anyone in the surrounding area to get a feel of what we are all about.” In previous years, the city estimates between 10,000 and 12,000 people have attended Boomfest. “That’s at any one time. Of course, some people only come for the car show, or just the fireworks, or the bands. If it’s a great weather day, it will probably be a bigger draw this year than what we’ve gotten in the past. We’ve had quality acts, but Lou is the biggest. We’ll get a lot more attention. If the weather holds for us, this will likely be our largest turnout.”

Rep. Steve Arndt plans town hall forum By Press Staff Writer Several bills that are pending in the Ohio legislature and are pertinent to his district will be discussed by State Representative Steve Arndt, R- Port Clinton, during a town hall forum June 25 at 6 p.m.in Elmore. Rep. Arndt said he will provide an update on House Bill 381 which would create the Zero-Emissions Nuclear Resource Program. Under the bill, electric distribution utilities would be required to purchase what are called zero-emissions nuclear credits and recover the purchase costs through a rider imposed on retail electric service customers. Nuclear power plants such as DavisBesse near Oak Harbor and the Perry sta-

tion in Lake County, both owned by a FirstEnergy subsidiary, would benefit from the bill’s passage. FirstEnergy has announced it plans to exit the electric generation component of the industry. On March 28, the company filed notice with PJM Interconnection, a regional transmission organization, that the nuclear facilities would be deactivated or sold during the next three years. HB 381 was introduced in the House in October 2017 and was referred to the House utilities committee. Rep. Arndt said he also plans to discuss: • HB 415: The bill creates a new state fund to provide money to local governments for road improvements. In general, the Local Government Road Improvement

CALL US AT (419) 698-4339

Fund would be funded through an allocation of half of the state’s surplus revenue, if any, each year. The bill passed in the House in February of this year and was referred to the Senate finance committee. • HB 10: Permits intrastate equity crowd funding under certain circumstances. The bill has passed in both chambers. • HB 545: The bill authorizes small vendors, beginning in 2020, to change the manner in which the vendor remits sales taxes on transactions in which a customer pays for an item or service after the item is delivered or the service is actually provided The town hall forum will be held at village administration building, 344 Rice Street.

Urban playground envisioned Continued from front page this are green engines â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they are economic engines that can drive revitalization and can bring business and, as you know, can attract other private investment,â&#x20AC;? Zenk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a very predictable model that occurs all across the country and with the announcement of the Columbus developer, there is a $50 million investment that is occurring adjacent to this as a result of the park plans that you are seeing tonight.â&#x20AC;? 70-acre playground The park will be the sixth Metropark on the Maumee River. All of the river parks and sites along Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 108-mile stretch of the Maumee River are part of the newly-designated Ohio Water Trail. This property will add to that trail, only it brings an urban element to the trail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a great location,â&#x20AC;? Zuellig said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is almost a mile of riverfront along this from bridge to bridge to bridge, which is pretty exciting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neighborhoods all surrounding it, downtown on the other side and within walking distance. You can get to downtown within five minutes and you can get to most of the neighborhoods within five to ten minutes. Great views of downtown and great views of the I-280 bridge.â&#x20AC;? Zenk and Zuellig compare the future park to former industrial sites turned into developments in Boise, Idaho; Omaha, Nebraska; and Grand Rapids, Michigan, saying that across the country, the downtowns that are successful are the ones that reinvest in their riverfronts. A video presented by Zenk called the Marina District riverfront property Toledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;front door.â&#x20AC;? Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event was the first public meeting held regarding the park in one year with the actual design phase expected to begin this fall and Phase 1 construction starting in 2019. Zuellig says many of the ideas for the new park came from the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s input at a meeting one year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What did we hear? We heard â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;make it an original destination,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we want it to be something different and iconic,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;something that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find elsewhere.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? We want it to be about water and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s think about ways families can play with water, in water. We heard that does not happen enough,â&#x20AC;? Zue-

llig said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve built out of that are what we call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fundamental park elements.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Amenities described by Zuellig include connecting biking and walking trails, parkways, community event spaces, green walking bridges, ice cream shacks, outdoor recreation opportunities, urban camping, restoring riparian habitat, upland forest and prairie habitat, picnic areas, and scenic overlooks. The developers already have an idea of where most of these features would be located within the property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other thing we brought to you is signature park elements, which are those destination park ideas,â&#x20AC;? Zuellig said, and adding that they encompass discovery play, water play and winter play. Included are ice skating ribbons, sled hills, themed discovery play areas, water play areas, improved river access, kayaking, boat launches, and improved fishing access points. The plan also includes completing â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Nautical Mile,â&#x20AC;? which is a five-mile trail connecting downtown, all the bridges, and both sides of the river. Accompanying her presentation were artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renderings of what these amenities would look like once residents could access them, and many looked real enough to include Toledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skyline or other landmarks in the background. Other renderings were real photos of similar amenities found in other developments in the United States and around the world. Head start on funding Zenk addressed the fact that for decades, the community has seen promises to development the Marina District come and go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that there still may be some skeptics in the room,â&#x20AC;? Zenk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of the first things that we heard moving on in this process and rightfully so. There have been a lot of promises made for this property and none of them came to fruition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m demonstrating to you today is that, even before the first shovel hits the ground, our staff has been out beating the streets and looking for any type of external resource that we can bring to the table.â&#x20AC;? Metroparks Toledo has already secured $5.55 million-plus in funding for the project.

New director hired at development foundation Oregon City Council this month hired Sommer Vriezelaar to lead the Oregon Economic Development Foundation, which became effective June 11. In previous years, the executive director position focused on economic development in the city. This time, the city changed the responsibilities to also include marketing and communications for the Parks and Recreation Department. At a special council meeting on June 4, council also approved hiring Tim Borton for the new position of commissioner of parks and recreation, and Hank Fox for the new position of coordinator of parks and recreation. “We decided to go in a different direction in our Recreation Department,” Mayor Mike Seferian said at the meeting. “We believed there were opportunities that the community was looking for.” He said some members of council had talked to him and City Administrator Mike Beazley since last November about “opportunities we could expand on in our recreation department.” “Our goal was to broaden the scope of the department. We were looking for a way to breathe new life into our recreation program. We thought at different times, although we were providing a good service, that some things had become a little stagnant. We were seeking out people interested in being part of our recreation complex when we didn’t even know exactly what we were looking for. But we did know we were looking for life, looking for energy, looking for excitement. In the process of looking for people to join our recreation department, there were three people who really stood out that showed the energy and excitement that we and the community thought was needed.” At the same time, the city was looking for a new Oregon Economic Development Foundation director, he added. Different approach “We recognized the challenge and the difficult time we had in retaining long term

energy in our Foundation,” said Bealzey. “We thought we could have our cake and eat it too with a different approach. With this path, we can maintain our independence and special relationship with the Foundation. We wanted to bring someone on who dealt with our greatest challenges: communications, marketing, listening, and social media – someone who is ready to use modern tools of current technology. Sommer brings that piece of it. Those skills mesh well with economic development and recreation.” Fox, he said, “brings many years of working closely with young people in recreation, gymnastics and tumbling.” “He brings a real sense of energy. The challenge is to continue to do well in the traditional things, but do more in some areas the city has not really offered,” said Beazley. “Borton really demonstrated in the interview process that he knows Oregon, knows our programming and is ready to take us in the direction the community is looking for. We’re excited about that,” said Beazley. Feedback “For some time, we have wanted to reshape the way we do things in the recreation department,” Beazley told The Press after the meeting. “Among the things we wanted to focus on is to do a better job at listening to the public – the people who are using our services, and communicating to people what our programs are.” Vriezelaar, he said, brings expertise in marketing and communications.

“That will be her focus on the recreation side,” he said. “She will be essentially a half-time employee of recreation in marketing and communications. But we will also count on her to do economic development for the Foundation. A lot of that is a marketing and communication function. So we’ll continue working with business projects, and industrial development projects, and quality of life projects, like the effort we’re putting into the Navarre, Dustin and Isaac Streets corridor.” Although she will be a half-time employee of the city, Vriezelaar will also report to the Foundation’s board as did previous executive directors of the Foundation, he said. “As in the case with past economic development directors, she will work close to the city as well. From an economic perspective, we’ll be changing our contract a little bit. Instead of the city writing a check to the Foundation to compensate its director, the city will provide the salary directly to Vriezelaar and also provide office space,” said Beazley. The Foundation and the business community will continue to provide funding for the operations of the foundation and their member services, he said. “But the city will now provide all the funding for the compensation of the director.” Foundation support Scott Hayes, a member of the Foundation’s executive board, said he often pitched the idea that there could be a more “holistic marketing approach to the city.” “There’s a lot of good things that nuts and bolts economic developers can do. But I think more importantly, we were looking for someone who had the personality and passion and energy to bring it all together. We long thought that the economic development director position could share some responsibilities with the city. We thought it was a good marriage. It’s something we’ve been thinking about for a long time,” said Hayes. “On behalf of the board, we’re very supportive of this approach. We met Sommer, and believe she will be a great fit and have the potential to stay with us for a long time.”

The Lake Township Police Department is following through on plans to form a Neighborhood Watch program in the Moline area. An organizational meeting was held June 15 and a second meeting is scheduled for July 11 at 7 p.m., said Ron Craig, Crime Prevention Officer/Community Policing Officer. During the Moline meeting, he informed the attendees of goals the group may want to set for the area, the types of programs that have been part of such groups across the county, and guidelines for Neighborhood Watch organizations. “We had a good cross-section of Moline represented,” said Police Chief E. Mark Hummer. “Every area of Moline was represented by those who attended.” Part of the discussion focused on the various methods that can be used to spread the word of the new group to other residents of the Moline area. Facebook will continue to be used to communicate, and some of those attending said they could help distribute brochures the police department has had printed. Face-to-face communication between neighbors will be another key to informing area residents of the local efforts, the chief said. The establishment of a Neighborhood Watch group in Moline is a key to the police department’s efforts to keep the township’s crime rate low. “Our first Neighborhood Watch group was formed at the Woodcreek senior residential complex near Walbridge. That group has been meeting for three months. I asked our new crime prevention officer and community policing officer to make Moline the next area for a Neighborhood Watch,” the chief explained. “Every group is different. What works in some areas may not work in others. The people who attended the Moline area gave us very good feedback on what they feel are issues for them. We will now take that feedback and come up with programs that will help those residents achieve the crime prevention goals they have set for their own area,” he said. The second meeting will also be held at Mainstreet Church, Moline-Martin Road.

Opinion

The Press

Red states, blue states and green water in Lake Erie I have been doing this writing/reporting/interviewing job for a while now. One of the first things I learned was, even at the risk of making myself sound dumb, I always try to admit my lack of knowledge about something and ask the questions needed to amend it. This is a good general policy and, in my case, it is important for very selfish reasons. If I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know something and ask a dumb question to get the answer, I look silly to that person. If I do not ask the question and write about something I do not really know about, then I instead end up looking silly to thousands of readers. A lack of understanding has a way of compounding problems moving forward. In short, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, do the leg work to find out the answers before you take action. Thus far, Ohio agriculture has been pushing (fairly successfully) for this very strategy in terms of the ongoing water quality challenges in the state. That appears to be changing, though, as political pressure to address the complex problem increases. If I took a poll, I would imagine that 100 out of 100 Ohioans would want to drastically reduce or eliminate harmful algal blooms in Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lakes. Zero out of 100 Ohioans would definitively know how to accomplish that goal, though I am sure some would act like they had the solution without really knowing the answer. One of those Ohioans, apparently, would be Gov. John Kasich. There have been agricultural rumblings about this for awhile now, but in April the Cleveland Plain Dealer said this: Kasich, speaking to Ohio newspaper publishers Wednesday, said he was disappointed the legislature hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t acted to further restrict fertilizer application, which directly contributes to algal blooms in Lake Erieâ&#x20AC;Ś Kasich said he supports farmers, too, but something should be done to address the minority of farmers who pollute the lake. Kasich spokesman Jim Lynch said an executive order is in the works, but the details have not yet been determined. With experts who have studied the details of water quality for their entire careers unable to come up with clear solutions, it seems certain the contents of the executive order are likely to fall short of successful, whatever they are. Kasich himself has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of basic agricultural understanding and, recently, he even struggled with the specifics of his administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent proposal for the Lake Erie impairment designation. In a gubernatorial gaff, Kasich muddled his way though responses to questions at the Michigan Press Association convention in Lansing on May 11 concerning the topic.

Here is an excerpt about o Kasichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to regulate: John Kasich: So art of sir, you know, part leadership is not just to d get out a bang the table and sledgehammer to get your way. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a lot of that lately. It ll So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s h h way doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work very well. the that I lead, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see where this goes. And when you raise phosphorous, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all from fertilizer, okay? I answered that question. So you came up with these terms or whatever and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling you weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on it. And we are reducing, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to have even more action done. Garret Ellison: You mean mandatory action, or voluntary action? John Kasich: No, no, no. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have regulatory action, okay? â&#x20AC;Ś. And by the way I would probably have to do it unilaterally because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never get it through the legislature, okay? The interview, though embarrassing,

will be algae under the bridge comd to the h perceived i d ffoolishness li h h pared off the Kasich Administration after passing executive orders to fix the problem and inevitably failing. After running a campaign and getting elected as governor (twice) on an anti-regulation pro-business platform, it seems shortsighted (at best) for Kasich to throw in some late-term regulations that will undoubtedly add bureaucratic hoops for farmers to jump through and undoubtedly NOT solve the problem of harmful algae in Lake Erie. Piling more rules on agriculture â&#x20AC;&#x201D; already among the most heavily regulated industries in Ohio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is not the answer. In contrast to the politically driven

and premature action of Kasichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive order plans directed at regulating fertilizer, Ohio agriculture has invested millions into proactively asking the challenging questions to determine the real causes of the problems and finding some real solutions. This has certainly proven to be a challenging endeavor and the process has not been q g real solutions will continue quick. Finding to take more time. As Joe Cornely with Ohio Farm Bureau ssagely told the Cleveland Plain Deale Dealer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not saying go slow, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying be smartâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to be able to fix a prob problem like that or agriculture tureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s piece of the problem in a ffashion where things get do done overnight.â&#x20AC;? The slow progress in im improving water quality is u understandably frustratin ing for residents of places li like Toledo where issues w with harmful algae in the w water are a part of life and the there is no doubt political pre pressure is mounting. Kasich is likely yearning for the suppo support of the 100% of people who w want to improve water quality as he considers another presidenti run after his time as presidential Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gover governor is up. But throwing regula together regulations that are not based on the reality of what is happening will not make the wate water better any faster. Those regulations will o only succeed in bogging down rural Ohio aand upsetting rural America. Who was it th that won the presidential election for Donal Donald Trump again? K i hh l Kasich has already illustrated his lack of understanding regarding agriculture and water quality numerous times, and I think if he does make a run for the White House heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find that an August/September algal bloom is not all that far removed from the November elections. By taking the plunge into the murky waters of more nutrient regulation, any future â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kasich for Presidentâ&#x20AC;? campaign may end up focused less on red states and blue states, and more on the green water in one state.

Your future – like the direction of time - is ahead Just like the nature of time, the direction of life is always forward. The past is over. You can’t go back in time to make any changes. Your future is ahead of you. The actions you take today determine what type of future you will have. It’s up to you. Your future is your responsibility. Too often people waste time fixated on the past. They constantly lament what they could have, would have, or should have done. Whatever you did, or didn’t do, can’t be altered. However, what you learn from the past can be used in moving forward. Any bad decisions you may have made are only mitigated by making better decisions now, and in the future. Repeating bad decisions generates the same undesirable results. A better future is based on making positive changes, which lead to more desirable outcomes. Complaining prevents you from moving forward. Complainers continuously rehash problems without seeking out solutions. These people find every justification for why they won’t move forward. Put an end to complaining by identifying a problem just once, and then spending all of your energy finding a solution.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden Having clear, updated, current, and meaningful goals, keep you moving forward. A detailed, step, by step, plan enables you to take effective action. The action you take today prepares you for tomorrow. Visualize the attainment of your objectives. Imagine yourself being successful. These strategies keep your mind focused on the future by programming it to move forward. Your mind works non-stop following the instructions you provide. Studying those who are already where you want to be, helps you get to where you want to be. Learning from their experiences saves you time and energy. There’s no need to figure things out from scratch when those who have travelled the path before you have so much to teach.

Think before you act. Consider the consequences of your actions. Analyze various alternatives. Apply the knowledge you have gained from your past experiences. Life is fluid. Be willing to adjust and adapt to changes in circumstances. Pay attention to intuition as you move forward. Your internal radar alerts you to positive action you should take, as well as situations to be avoided. Your subconscious picks up signs your conscious mind overlooks. A strong, nagging feeling that you should, or shouldn’t do something, is a warning signal which needs to be considered. Your future is filled with opportunities. Seize opportunities by watching for them, and being prepared to take full advantage of them. Make education a lifelong endeavor. The more knowledge you have, the more prepared you are to capitalize on opportunities. Stop procrastinating; it leads to paralysis by analysis. Moving forward entails leaving your comfort zone, along with taking chances. Staying where you are negates forward progress. It’s no different than sitting in a parked car; you are not going any-

Why change a jewel of public service? By Jim Hightower The U.S. postal system has 30,000 outlets serving every part of America. It employs 630,000 people in good middle-class jobs. And it proudly delivers letters and packages clear across the country for a pittance. It’s a jewel of public service excellence. Therefore, it must be destroyed. Such is the fevered logic of laissezfaire-headed corporate supremists like the billionaire Koch brothers and the rightwing politicians who serve them. This malevolent gang of wreckingball privatizers includes such prominent Trumpsters as Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin (a former Wall Street huckster from Goldman Sachs), and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney (a former corporate-hugging congress critter from South Carolina). Both were involved in setting up Trump’s shiny new task force to remake our U.S. Postal Service. It’s like asking two foxes to remodel the hen house. Trump himself merely wanted to take a slap at his political enemy, Amazon chief Jeff Bezos, by jacking up the prices the postal agency charges to deliver Amazon’s packages. The cabal of far-right corporatizers, however, saw Trump’s temper tantrum as a golden opportunity to go after the Postal Service itself. Trump complained about the Postal Service not charging Amazon enough for mailing packages. But instead of simply addressing the matter, the task force was trumped-up with an open-ended mandate to evaluate, dissect, and “restructure” the people’s mail service — including carving it up and selling off the parts. Who’d buy the pieces? For-profit shippers like FedEx, of course. But here’s some serious irony for you: The one outfit with the cash and clout to buy our nation’s

CAFO problem

Clay alumni baseball

To the editor: It’s very sad that State Senator Randy Gardner is so critical of concerned citizen Mike Ferner for questioning two new bills that will do nothing to stop Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations from over-applying millions of gallons of phosphorus-rich waste on tiled fields in the western Lake Erie basin. According to an Ohio Environmental Council fact sheet: “The number one cause of toxic algae in Lake Erie is the overabundance of phosphorus coming from crop fields in the lake’s watershed. With manure applied excessively over 70 percent of the time, it’s clear more needs to be done to address this critical problem that puts water sources at risk.” Sen. Gardner has voted for every bill that exempts CAFOs from new regulations during the past 18 years. And now he wants $36 million in part to pay for “manure transformation and manure conversion technologies?” What an incredible waste of taxpayer money. Vickie Askins Cygnet

Agriculture Ag-Venture tour features farms and agri-businesses Area farms and agri-businesses are featured in the Wood County Ag-Venture Self-Driving Tour and the Changing the Landscape of Urban Agricultural Tour. The 2018 Wood County Ag-Venture is being sponsored by the Wood Soil and Water Conservation District in conjunction with other county organizations and businesses. It will be held Sept. 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Local agriculture industry leaders are opening their homes and businesses throughout the county to highlight Ohio agriculture. Participants are invited to visit the stops throughout the day at their own pace to sit in farm equipment, pet farm animals, talk to farmers, and learn about agriculture.

The tour includes: Vetter Family Farms, Bowling Green Luckey Farmers, Inc., Perrysburg Hirzel Canning, Northwood Pioneer Seed, Grand Rapids Moser Farms, Perrysburg Schooner Farms, Weston Black Swamp Ag., Inc., Bowling Green Hirzel Canning Company, producers of Dei Fratelli products, was founded in 1923 by Carl R.

CAUV savings offered for conservation practices In Wood County, 1,557 parcels of land enrolled in the Current Agricultural Use Valuation program that are used for conservation practices are now being valued at $230 an acre – the lowest value in the program’s soil valuation table, Matthew Oestreich, county auditor, said. “Last year the Ohio legislature made a significant change in how land used exclusively for ‘conservation practices’ is valued under the Current Agriculture Use Valuation program,” he said. “Thus far, a total of 5,873 acres in Wood County have been reduced to this minimum value based upon qualifying conservation practices. This acreage, comprising 1,557 parcels, represents 1.6 percent of all acres enrolled in the CAUV program. This reduction in value equates to a tax savings of approximately $40 per acre to qualifying landowners. Landowners enrolled in this conservation program have accrued nearly a quarter of a million dollars in combined tax savings.” Property owners enrolled in the CAUV program, with land used for qualifying conservation practices, are encouraged to submit the required documentation as soon as possible in order to receive an adjustment of their 2017 tax year taxes, payable in 2018. In order to qualify, each landowner must provide all of the following: - A copy of conservation contract with a government agency. - A detailed map that shows the exact areas of each parcel that are used exclusively for conservation practices. - Beginning on the 2018 CAUV renewal application and every year thereafter, include and verify the number of conservation acres for each parcel. - Maintain the conservation practice for a minimum of three years. For more information contact Brian

Jones, CAUV specialist, in the auditor’s office by phone at 419-354-9174 or by email at bjones@co.wood.oh.us. In Sandusky County, a triennial update of property valuations is being conducted, Jerri Miller, county auditor said. The new valuations will be payable in 2019 and her office expects to have the number of parcels affected by later this summer or early autumn. In Ottawa County, Auditor Jo Ellen Regal said her office is conducting a property reappraisal and also won’t have CAUV figures until it is completed.

According to Thomas Jackson, last year he faced being fined by the City of Toledo for using wood chips to remediate soil on vacant lots he had acquired in his neighborhood. From the resulting political fallout, growers formed the Urban Agricultural Alliance of Lucas County, which promotes local policies that support urban farming. The tour will focus on the challenges urban growers face, proposed zoning ordinances and successful production models. The tour is sponsored by Central State University.

CRP enrollment continuing

The U.S. Department of Agriculture will accept applications for the voluntary Conservation Reserve Program unti. Aug.17. Eligible farmers, ranchers and private landowners may register at local Farm Service Agency offices. The FSA stopped accepting applications last fall for the CRP continuous signup (excluding applications for the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) and CRP grasslands). The pause allowed the department of agriculture to review available acres and avoid exceeding the 24 million-acre CRP cap set by the 2014 Farm Bill. New limited practice availability and short sign-up period help ensure that landowners with the most sensitive acreage will enroll in the program and avoid unintended competition with new and beginning farmers seeking leases. CRP enrollment currently is about 22.7 million acres. The new changes to CRP do not impact the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, a related program offered by CCC and state partners. Producers wanting to apply for the CRP continuous sign-up or CRP grasslands should contact their USDA service center. To locate your local FSA office, visit https:// www.farmers.gov. More information on CRP can be found at www.fsa.usda.gov/crp.

Move Up Day a success for B-C-S elementary students Angie Lipstraw, assistant principal at RC Waters Elementary in Oak Harbor, in coordination with a cohort of kindergarten and local preschool teachers, recently organized “Move Up Day” to help prepare students for their next grade levels. Students in kindergarten, first and second grades “moved up” to the next grade for a portion of the morning. The students met the teachers, visited the classrooms, and participated in activities to get an idea of what’s in store for them for next school year. The third-graders visited the Oak Harbor Middle School and had a chance to shop at the fourth-grade Econ Fair. Local preschool students who will be starting kindergarten were also invited to participate in “Move Up Day.” They toured the building, enjoyed a snack in the cafeteria, met the kindergarten staff, and participated in kindergarten activities. The visit is designed to help alleviate anxiety about starting kindergarten and encourage excitement about school. “We had eight different preschools represented and 71 preschool students in attendance,” Lipstraw said. “The day was a big success. All grade levels enjoyed meeting next year’s ‘crop’ of students.”

Productive ways to spend the summer after graduation Graduation is a momentous day in the lives of college students. After years of schooling that dates all the way back to preschool or kindergarten, newly minted college graduates are finally ready to begin their professional lives. That can be a scary prospect for some students, especially those who graduate without jobs lined up. The summer after graduating from college can be a time like no other in the lives of new graduates. It can be easy to grow dejected as weeks or months go by without receiving a job offer. But spending the summer after graduation as productively as possible can help graduates overcome any dejection they might feel and increase their chances of landing a job. • Contact career services offices at your

alma mater. Career services offices can help recent graduates as they look for their first jobs out of college. Such offices may have access to job and internship opportunities that grads do not. In addition, they may coach grads on interviewing techniques and on ways to stand out in crowded job markets. • Seek internships. If part- or full-time employment is proving elusive, don’t be afraid to seek and ultimately accept internships, which can provide a way for grads to get their foot in the doors in certain industries. Summer internships may already be filled, so scour job boards for fall or winter internships. • Start networking. Students who interned can get in touch with their past

supervisors or mentors and find out if the company is hiring. Such people may be more inclined to bring someone with direct experience onboard — even if that experience was brief and unpaid. In addition, grads can connect with adjunct professors who work in their desired fields. • When job hunting, don’t get pigeonholed by your major. Just because a student graduates with a particular degree does not mean he or she needs to look for work in that field. In fact, many companies may prefer entry-level applicants with degrees that are not specific to their industries so their new hires are blank slates who can be easily trained. • Attend job fairs. While other graduates may be taking the summer off, enterpris-

ing grads looking for work should attend as many job fairs as possible. Graduates likely won’t leave job fairs with employment offers in hand, but job fairs are a great way for grads to meet hiring managers and submit their resumes to potential employers. • Customize a resume for every job. Be sure the curriculum vitae is not static. Write and refine resumes for each job you apply for, mildly tweaking the wording or accomplishments to address the key phrases used in the job listing. It can be tempting for recent college grads to spend the summers after graduation relaxing, but those who spend that time productively may lands jobs more quickly than those who do not.

How you should ask for a letter of commendation Knowledge, skills and personality can get students far, but having the right people in their corners can open doors for new opportunities that students might otherwise never have considered. Perhaps this is why recommendations are so coveted when applying to schools. Asking for a letter of recommendation is something that should be done with forethought. The correct approach and proper timing can mean the difference between receiving a recommendation or not. Who to ask The first step for students is to decide who they want to ask for a recommendation. Select those teachers who know you well or can validate how you performed

or improved in class. Opt for a teacher whose class you recently took so the recommendation reflects the student you are today and not the student you might have been when you were younger. It can also help to ask for a recommendation from teachers or staff who have sufficient experience. Their input may carry more weight than someone whose career is less accomplished. A well-established teacher who leads a class that pertains to your academic goals is a good fit. Remember to consider the requirements of a college or university as well. Schools frequently ask for recommendations from specific people, such as a teacher in a certain subject. Ask early Teachers may be inundated with college letter recommendation re-

quests around application deadlines and at the end of semesters. It’s better to leave plenty of time than to put teachers under pressure. The same rule applies to anyone else you’re asking to write you a recommendation. Request in person Underscore the importance of the recommendation by making it a personal request. Schedule an appointment with the individual and discuss why you believe he or she would be the right person to provide the recommendation. Remind the person of your attributes and point out something that exemplifies your skills. Speaking face-to-face shows respect and gives you the advantage to make your points personally, rather than through email.

Repay student loans quickly Millions of people fund their college educations with student loans. Such loans can make it possible for students to attend the very best universities in the world, but they also can be burdensome when students graduate and face the unenviable task of repayment. Student loan debt figures are staggering. According to Debt.org, student loan debt in the United States is roughly $1.2 trillion, a figure that reflects the cost of college tuition rising more than 137 percent in the last quarter century. Paying down that debt can seem like a daunting task, but recent grads need not fret that they will still be paying off student loans when their own children are ready to enroll in a college or university. The following are a few strategies college grads may want to consider as they look for ways to pay off their student loans as quickly as possible. • Create a monthly budget before the repayment period begins. Monthly budgets are an essential element of sound financial planning, but grads should not wait until their repayment period begins to develop their budgets. Even if the repayment grace period has just begun, grads should build at least the minimum required payment into their monthly budgets. Simply put the money into a savings account until the repayment period begins. Adjusting to repaying loans as early as possible can soften the blow once the repayment period actually begins. • Pay more than the minimum. Grads will have a relatively brief grace period to start repaying their loans after graduating. For those who are not going on to graduate or professional school, that grace period may be six months. As the due date for that first payment draws near, grads will receive a letter from their lenders indicating their overall debt and their minimum monthly payment. Paying more than that minimum monthly payment can help borrowers pay off their student loans far faster than simply paying the minimum each month. Many homeowners employ this strategy with their mortgages, and grads can do the same when repaying their student loans. • Establish short-term financial goals. Short-term financial goals can motivate borrowers to maintain their financial discipline, especially in those initial years after college when many new graduates struggle with money management. Be specific about goals, making sure to pick a target date to repay student loans in full. Grads who want to become homeowners can work to achieve that goal before age 30. Once that goal has been set, grads can research average home costs in their desired areas. Such information can motivate grads to pay off their student loans as quickly as possible so they can be on track to achieve their larger goal of buying a home in accordance to their pre-established goal. • Live with a roommate or roommates. Recent graduates who landed their first professional job may feel living alone is the ultimate illustration of their financial independence. But living with a roommate or roommates can free up more money for borrowers to put toward repaying their student loans. Roommates share utility and cable/internet bills, and room shares are often much less expensive than studio or onebedroom apartments. Many young professionals, especially those moving to a new city for their first job, find living with roommates after college is also a great way to develop or expand a social network. Repaying student loans takes discipline, but that discipline is rewarded when loans are repaid long before reaching their maturity date.

Entertaining ways to prevent summer learning loss Summer vacation presents an opportunity for students to enjoy an extended break from the classroom. While this respite from routine may be a welcome change to youngsters, teachers frequently lament that valuable educational lessons seem to be forgotten each summer. Educators then face tougher hurdles when students return to school in the fall. Such a phenomenon is dubbed “summer learning loss,” but it can occur during any extended break from school. Scholars have realized for some time that students’ rate of academic development declines during summer vacation. Oxford Learning, a tutoring and education training group, offers these eye-opening statistics. • Over the summer, students tend to lose 2.6 months of math skills and two months of reading skills. • Summer learning loss can be seen in students as young as six. • It can take up to two months from the first day of school to get students’ brain development back on course. Summer learning loss, sometimes called “brain drain,” can be prevented. Proponents of year-round schooling at The National Association for Year-Round Education recommend a more balanced school year, where summer vacation lasts only 30 days and other school breaks are lengthened. In this scenario, the school year would still last about 180 days, but without the lengthy breaks. Parents may prefer the status quo, and those who do can take several steps to pre-

Research from the National Literary Trust indicates reading for pleasure can improve reading attainment and writing, as well as one’s general knowledge. (Photo courtesy of Metro Graphics) vent summer learning loss from affecting their children. • Encourage more reading. Schools recommend summer reading lists, but students should also learn to read for pleasure. Research from the National Literary Trust indicates reading for pleasure can improve reading attainment and writing, as well as one’s general knowledge. Children can bring books to the beach that they can read between frolicking sessions in the waves. • Enjoy family game nights. Games can be customized to highlight certain skills that require reinforcement. For example, mathcentered games that require counting or addition can strengthen generalized math skills. Problem-solving board games may help children become better critical thinkers. • Make vacations educational. Add travel to historical sites or other places of interest to help history come alive. When

visiting new towns and cities, read the placards that explain important moments in history that took place in each town or city, making sure to include some thoughtprovoking areas of interest on your itinerary. • Look for science moments. Trips to the seaside, parks and much more present myriad opportunities to learn about science. Children can stage their own experiments with items they find in nature, such as learning about tides, wind and water flow by sailing homemade boats. • Teach kids through daily tasks. Barbecuing, making a cake, building a raised garden bed, seeding the lawn — each of these moments present educational opportunities for parents who want to keep their kids’ minds sharp during summer. Children need not fall victim to summer learning loss when their days are filled with educational but fun activities.

5 great reasons to take engagement photos During their engagements, couples will make many decisions in regard to their weddings. Wedding planning can someĆ&#x;mes seem like a runaway train of appointments, schedules and deadlines. As a result, some couples do not take the Ć&#x;me to enjoy being engaged, which is a special and unique Ć&#x;me in their lives. Engagement photo shoots can be a unique way for couples to commemorate and enjoy the months preceding their weddings. Engagement photos memorialize the engagement and provide many addiĆ&#x;onal

beneÄŽts as well. 1. Engagement photo shoots give couples a chance to connect with their photographers. Booking an engagement photo shoot provides helpful informaĆ&#x;on to both the couple and the photographer. The photographer gets to see how the couple interacts in front of the lens and can determine any insecuriĆ&#x;es or strengths and weaknesses couples may have. These lessons can be ÄŽled away and help make wedding day photos look beĆŠer. Similarly, spending Ć&#x;me with the photographer gives the couple an opportunity to develop a rapport with their photographer. If couples and their photographer donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t click, scheduling an engagement shoot well in advance of the wedding gives couples a chance to ÄŽnd someone else to take their photos. 2. An engagement photo shoot gives couples Ć&#x;me to spend together. An engagement photo shoot is an ideal Ć&#x;me to spend an aĹ&#x152;ernoon in a special locaĆ&#x;on focusing on each other without wedding planning taking up your Ć&#x;me. 3. Photo shoots provide a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera. Professional photographs taken before the wedding enables couples to view how they will appear in pictures. Seeing these photos might help couples grow more comfortable in front of the camera. This pracĆ&#x;ce can help couples temper their anxieĆ&#x;es prior to the wedding. An engagement shoot also can be a great Ć&#x;me for couples to speak with their photographers about angles or styles they prefer or dislike. 4. The bride and groom have save-the-date or social media photos. Engagement photographs can be used for save-the-date cards or social media posĆ&#x;ngs (check with the photographer for licensing agreements). This can be a great way to spread excitement about the upcoming nupĆ&#x;als. 5. Photo shoots provide a chance to experiment with vivid backdrops. Engagement photography gives couples plenty of opportuniĆ&#x;es to experiment with diÄŤerent locales, which may not be possible come the wedding day. Engagement photography can be a worthwhile inclusion in pre-wedding celebraĆ&#x;ons.

Reservations are suggested. Call 419-691-3788. The non-profit all volunteer 500 member Toledo Lighthouse Society is raising funds to restore the lighthouse. The restoration is estimated to cost $1.5 million. Once completed, there will be a rotation of four people staying at the lighthouse to give tours and serve as “keepers.” Access into the lighthouse has been through a dock/boat lift that was destroyed by a storm in June 2015. Options to replace it continue to be looked into. This year’s festival will include stories on the Toledo Lighthouse by a lighthouse service historian and others. The festival is on the shores of Lake Erie/Maumee Bay. It will feature continuous entertainment in a covered amphitheatre overlooking the water along with nautical arts and crafts, Toledo Lighthouse information and merchandise, huge silent auction, seafood, children’s activities, and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’s Paddle Palooza with free paddle board and kayak rides n Sunday. There will be a concert by the Suburban Legend, on Saturday at 7 p.m. Entertainment during the festival also features the Genoa American Legion Band, Polish Band, the Bob Wurst Band, Johnny Rodriguez, Zodiac Click, Barbershop Group, Toledo School of the Arts Steel Drums and more.

JUNE 25, 2018

Question on collecting Social Security while working Dear Rusty: I’m trying to assist my spouse with her rapidly approaching age 62 when she can get her Social Security benefits. Currently she is working almost a full 40hour week and her 2017 gross earnings were $29,000. If she continues to work, she will probably earn approximately $29,500 in 2018. She is also contemplating beginning to work only part time, which will reduce her earnings to about 40% of what she currently earns. She is concerned that if she continues to work full time, she will have her monthly SS payment reduced significantly and will not recoup that difference. I understand that if you continue to work full time there will be some reduction in the monthly, but when you finally retire you will get the difference back at your full retirement age. Can you enlighten me/her? Signed: Helpful Husband Dear Helpful: If your wife starts her Social Security benefits at age 62 and continues

to work, she will be subject to Social Security’s annual “earnings limit” ($17,040 for 2018) which, if she exceeds, will result in Social Security withholding benefits of $1 for every $2 she earns over the limit. To use your example, if she earns $29,500 in 2018 she will be $12,460 over the limit and they will withhold all future benefits until they recover the $6230 that is owed from exceeding the limit (see my note below re: the first year of collecting). This will continue each year until the year she attains her full retirement age (her “FRA”) when the earnings limit goes way up (about 2 1/2 times the earlier limit) and the withholding is less ($1 for every $3 over the limit); once your wife reaches her full retirement age there is no earnings limit and they will re-compute her benefit amount giving her time credit for the number of months they withheld benefits due to exceeding the limit; they’ll then raise her benefit amount as though she claimed benefits later than she actually did.

So, over time, the higher benefit starting at her FRA could help her recoup some or all of the benefits withheld - but she doesn’t get that withheld dollar amount back in a lump sum; they just increase her benefit amount at her full retirement age. NOTE: There is a special rule which applies during the first year SS is claimed so, in your wife’s case, if she claims benefits to start in June, instead of the annual earnings limit she’ll be subject to a monthly earnings limit for the remainder of 2018. After her benefits start, her earnings limit will be $1,420 per month for the rest of the year and If she exceeds that they will withhold benefits for a following month. The regular annual earnings limit will then go into effect the following year. Social Security requires that you inform them when you will exceed the earnings limit, but if you don’t they will eventually catch up to you when your income tax return is filed. Also, please

note that Social Security recommends that you apply for benefits 3 months before you wish them to begin, so if your wife wishes to start her Social Security earlier than her full retirement age, when she applies for her benefits she should select the option to “Start My Benefits Now” in order to have them start as soon as possible.

Eastwood continues dominance of top All-Press honors By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com

2018 Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Baseball

What can you do? Coaches in three sports at 10 area schools have made their decision. Eastwood rules the Eastern Maumee Bay community in spring sports, 2018. In part due to a strong senior class that has been hailed for years, this spring Eastwood players and coaches have been voted Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Track Co-Athletes of the Year, Track Coach of the Year, Softball Pitcher of the Year, Softball Offensive Player of the Year, and Softball Coach of the Year. Finally arriving is the All-Press Baseball Team, and Eastwood senior pitcher Jake Pickerel is Pitcher of the Year and Kevin Leady is Coach of the Year. The only exception this spring season comes with the choosing of Central Catholic junior Jase Bowen, who resides in The Press distribution area, as Offensive Player of the Year. Coach Leady and Pickerel led the Eagles to a school record 26 wins (264). Eastwood went 12-2 in the Northern Buckeye Conference to claim its first outright conference title since 1988. The Eagles were also Division III district finalists. Pickerel, in 58.2 innings, allowed 31 hits, 16 runs, 11 earned runs, struck out 54 and went 7-2 with a 1.31 ERA. He is heading to Owens Community College as a dual pitcher and infielder. Pickerel leaves Eastwood with multiple pitching records, including 18 career wins and 147 career strikeouts. “He’s an absolute bulldog on the mound and the guy we loved and wanted to have on the mound in crunch time,” Leady said. “Could not be more proud of the pitcher he has become over the course of the last three seasons. He can throw all of his pitches for strikes in any count and always works ahead of the hitter. I am very excited to watch his career at the next level.” Pickerel and second place vote-getter, Eastwood senior Tyler Haas, combined to garner two-thirds of the votes. Haas, who also catches, will play at Bowling Green State University where his grandfather Gary Haas is enshrined in the Hall of Fame for his baseball career. On the mound, Tyler threw 56.1 innings, allowing 40 hits, 18 runs, 12 earned runs, striking out 47 and he went 7-1 with a 1.49 ERA, earning him NBC Pitcher of the Year honors. He leaves his career on the mound with a 12-1 record. “Tyler has tremendous ability behind the plate and had led our pitching staff for four years,” Leady said. “ “As a pitcher he always pounded the zone and wasn’t afraid of any hitter. He had a very high baseball IQ which helped pitching and calling the game for other pitchers. Every time he took the ball we felt we had a great chance to win. We also called him a bulldog because of how tough he was on the mound.” Both Pickerel and Haas were four-year starters and had a career 30 wins combined on the mound, which Leady says “will be close to impossible to replace what they did for our program the last four seasons.” They were also two-time team captains in 2017 and 2018, and Pickerel is first team All-Press at third base and Haas first team at catcher. They were tops in voting for

Pitcher Jake Pickerel. (Photo courtesy Kevin Leady/Eastwood Baseball) both of those categories as well. Others getting Pitcher of the Year votes were University of Toledo-bound Oak Harbor senior Aric McAtee, Cardinal Stritch senior Nick Staler and Genoa sophomore Alan Laytart. Eastwood had six players make the All-Press first team, but Stritch was not far behind with four. The Cardinals finished 14-9 overall and 11-3 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference under Coach Mike McGee. Genoa, under Coach Gary Nissen, also had four first team choices. For Coach of the Year, Leady, an Eastwood alumnus and former BGSU pitcher, took half the votes, with the other half spread among five others. Nissen was second in voting, but also getting votes were Clay coach Jim Phillips, Lake hall of fame coach Greg Wilker, Waite coach John Segura and Oak Harbor coach Nick Lance. This was Segura’s last year at Waite because he has just taken over at Northwood for coach Rex Groll, where Segura says “My staff and I have a lot of work ahead of us. We are going to get in and change the Ranger culture back to where (former coach) Dave Russell and I left it.”

Mixed messages, but same result for Bowen By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Central Catholic junior Jase Bowen has been sending mixed messages — first he verbally committed to Notre Dame, but then tweeted that he will play baseball and football at Michigan State. Wherever he signs next year, it will be a blessing for that NCAA Division I school to get the Central shortstop, wide receiver and defensive back in its corner. When Central coach Jeff Mielcarek heard that Bowen was overwhelmingly voted Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Offensive Player of the Year, he emailed, “His numbers were crazy so I am not surprised with the vote!” Bowen, the son of former Lake basketball coach Ryan Bowen, batted .527 (48 for 91) with 11 doubles, six triples, eight home runs, 47 runs, 25 RBIs, 12 walks, 29 stolen bases and a .590 on base percentage. In Three Rivers Athletic Conference games, he did even better — batting .600 (27 for 45) with a .673 on base percentage. And, no matter where he goes to college, Mielcarek gets him for one more year first. Mielcarek says Bowen not only had “the best overall offensive season of any player which I have coached,” he is a “solid defensive player.” “Jase had a season that was beyond words,” Mielcarek said. “His offensive numbers were incredible and covered all phases as he hit for average, power and ran the bases extremely well. “Jase was certainly the spark for our offense throughout the season. He has many special God-given gifts. However, he does not sit back with them. Rather, he continues to work as hard as or harder than any other player.” His awards have been numerous, and in just the past week he received Prep Baseball Ohio Position Pitcher of the Year in Division I, Prep Baseball Ohio CoPosition Player of the Year for all divisions, made the National High School Baseball Coach Association All-Region (six states) team, and the American Baseball Coaches

This year, he was first team All-Ohio, first team All-TRAC, and the TRAC Player of the Year as the Irish finished third in the league behind St. John’s and St. Francis, and was a Division I district tournament qualifier. However, for Bowen, the awards started coming two years ago. As a freshman and sophomore, Bowen was first team all-district Division II. As a

freshman, he was second team All-TRAC and as a sophomore he earned first team all-league honors. For the All-Press Offensive POY honor, Bowen garnered 75 percent of the vote among 10 area coaches and a handful of local media. Also getting one vote each were Cardinal Stritch senior Andrew Flowers, Eastwood senior and reigning Northern Buckeye Conference Offensive Player of the Year Cade Boos and Genoa sophomore Sam Witt.

On June 19, the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference announced that the Owens Community College Athletics won the 2017-2018 OCCAC AllSports Award. It is the fourth time in a row that Owens has won the award and it is also the sixth time in seven years that the college has claimed the award. Owens athletic director J.D. Ettore said, “I thank the coaches and our studentathletes for all of their hard work this year on the field of play.” The Express had another terrific year in each of its three sports during the 201718 school year. The Express volleyball program had an undefeated regular season at 40-0 and won the outright OCCAC title. The program would finish the highest it ever has at the Division II level, finishing second and 40-1 overall. Women’s basketball won its sixth consecutive OCCAC championship after finishing 13-1 in the conference. The team would finish in the top 10 of the NJCAA Division II National Championships in March. Finally, the men’s basketball team concluded their conference season at 14-2 in the OCCAC, which included winning 13 conference games in a row to close out the conference schedule. The team also upset then No. 1 ranked and undefeated Cuyahoga on January 31 of this past year. Owens will start its title defense when the Express volleyball team kicks off its conference schedule on August 29 against Lorain. The Express will also have baseball and softball included once again when both programs return to the diamond in the spring of 2019. (— Owens Sports Information Director Chris Schmidbauer)

NCAA golfers — you are invited The Marathon LPGA Classic Presented by Owens Corning and Owens-Illinois announced that two 2018 NCAA Women’s Golf Champions have accepted invitations to play in this year’s tournament. “The Marathon Classic has a long tradition of supporting the Women’s NCAA Championship,” stated tournament director Judd Silverman. “We’re excited to be able to have Jennifer Kupcho and Bianca Pagdanganan in this year’s field to showcase the best two players in women’s collegiate golf.” Jennifer Kupcho from Wake Forest University recently captured the individual national championship Karsten Creek in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Bianca Pagdanganan led the University of Arizona to the national team championship. Kupcho became the first Wake Forest female golfer to win the individual national championship. Pagdanagan was part of Arizona’s third national championship team. In addition to the two NCAA spon-

sor exemptions, the Marathon Classic has given a third and final sponsor exemption to Jillian Hollis. Hollis is from Rocky River, Ohio and was a two-time NCAA All American at the University of Georgia. Hollis turned pro after this year’s NCAA Championship and made her first professional check at last week’s U.S. Women’s Open at Shoal Creek. The Marathon LPGA Classic has some other exciting commitments for this year’s tournament. Leading the list of commitments is fan favorite and top rated American Lexi Thompson. Other commitments include Toledo native Stacy Lewis, defending champion I.K. Kim, Cristie Kerr, Danielle Kang and 2018 tournament winners Brooke Henderson, Michelle Wie and Brittany Lincicome. This year’s Marathon LPGA Classic will be played July 12-15 at Highland Meadows Golf Club for a purse of $1.6 million. All four rounds will once again be nationally televised by The Golf Channel. The winner gets a check for $240,000.

Fisher, a 2000 Clay graduate, coaches the Eagles’ defensive backs and is the team’s defensive coordinator. He was recruited as a quarterback but ended up playing several positions on Bluffton University’s football team from 2000-03. As he got a little older, Fisher, 36, got the itch to try something new, and he wanted to include his family. In February, Fisher signed up to start taking classes at Deon Thompson’s Ohio Brasa Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in West Toledo “I was always interested in jiu-jitsu because there was no striking,” Fisher said. “I’m a little old for striking, but I wanted to get into something. I originally wanted to do something with my wife (Ashlee) and kids. I knew Deon from a year prior, because I coached his nephew in flag football. I called him and asked if we could sit in on a class and see what happens.” Thompson’s website explains Brazilian jiu-jitsu as “a martial art that teaches a smaller person how to defend himself/herself against a larger individual by using leverage. It emphasizes getting an opponent to the ground in order to utilize ground fighting techniques and submission holds involving joint-locks, chokeholds, positional control and leverage.” Fisher attended his first class and became a believer. “It was a great workout,” he said. “I absolutely loved it. My son, Mason (5), goes to the youth class and he loves it. He calls it ‘ninja school.’ I love the fact he wants to go. I love anything he can get involved in and do something extra.” Fisher said one of the thrills he got from attending his first few classes was that it took him out of his comfort zone. “I liked the ideas of leverage, of self defense,” he said. “It’s broken down into a

I’m loving it.” Fisher signed up to compete in his first jiu-jitsu tournament, the Toledo Open, at

Bedford (Mich.) High School on May 19. There were four other competitors in his age group, and he won his first match before dropping his second match. “I was the most nervous I’ve ever been, with any interview or any game I’ve ever played,” Fisher said. “It was nerve-wracking. I couldn’t stop thinking about it several nights before.” Fisher said the competition consisted of one five-minute match. It could have been seven minutes, but he can’t recall. “It was absolutely exhausting,” Fisher said. “The first match, I got the first takedown and I was on top of my opponent. He was strong as an ox and was trying to kick me off. I was basically bull-riding and hanging on for dear life. I knew I was up in points and I tried to ride it out and see if I could get a submission, but that’s easier said than done.” Fisher said his second opponent got him to submit just over halfway through their match. The match ends when a competitor taps out, either verbally or physically. “We rolled around a few times,” Fisher said. “He was on top and I was on top - he was back on and he put me in an arm submission and I tapped out. The last thing I want at 36 was my elbow broken. That’s the beauty of it as well. You go as long as you want to go, and when you can’t go anymore, you tap out.” Fisher said he intends to continue training and competing in jiu-jitsu “as long as I possibly can.” The opportunity to get out of his comfort zone is just too hard to give up. “It’s so rewarding,” he said. “To keep walking through the door and continuing to practice and get better ... That first day, I remember, I probably got submitted six or seven times. Then the goal is to not get submitted one day, and then you want to start doing the submitting. It’s a good thing to see your progression.”

Inspirational Message of the Week: Take It! If you want to be truly free, you must take your freedom and run with it. Prior to and during the U.S. Civil War, slaves who wanted their freedom had to make a decision about whether to risk life and limb by running away. Given the risks, this must have been a heart-wrenching decision. But we can learn something from this example. We can be enslaved by many things, by addictions, by our own habits of thought and action, and by fear or timidity. If we are going to live our own lives by our own lights then at some point we have to take our freedom into our own hands and put ourselves at the helm of our own ship. This can be a hard thing to do. It is usually easier to let others run our lives. Children get used to their parents making

most of their decisions for them, and some never grow out of this habit. The human will is a muscle that must be developed. If you would be free, you must believe in yourself and believe that you have the capacity to direct your own life. Then develop a plan to become the person you long to be. And finally, put the plan into action. As a good friend of mine likes to say, “Plan the work and work the plan.” Remember also to make adjustments to the plan if it isn’t going perfectly. Some adjustments or corrections are needed in even the best plans. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”—Galatians 5:1 NIV

Oregon’s Bodeman seeking to make noise at Robert Morris By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Chase Bodeman went to Robert Morris University to play quarterback, but the football gods weren’t cooperating. A handful of plays into his first college game, Bodeman, who lives in Oregon and was a second-team All-Ohio quarterback as a senior at Whitmer in 2015, aggravated a groin injury that would cost him the rest of the game and, it proved, the rest of his 2016 season. The Colonials, who compete in the 10team Northeast Conference, had already lost two quarterbacks to injury when they traveled to Youngstown State in the third game of the season. “We were coming off two losses,” said Bodeman, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound junior. “Due to injuries, I was the next guy up. I was nervous, but I was more excited to get on the field. We knew that was a good team we were going against. I wanted to go out there and try to make some plays and see what happens.” Bodeman said he’d suffered a groin injury two weeks prior to the game, and the Penguins didn’t make his life any easier. “During the game I was running around so much, it happened again,” he said. “A pulled muscle. It was extremely painful.” YSU’s defense was relentless. Bodeman recalled being “creamed” on one play, and before he left the game he’d completed 1-of-4 passes for minus-2 yards and carried the ball twice for minus-13 yards. The Penguins went on to a 38-6 victory en route to reaching the FCS national championship game, where they lost to James Madison University. “Going against a team like that, we weren’t ready for how good they were,” Bodeman said. “Derek Rivers (a two-time All-American defensive end), who plays for the New England Patriots now, he took me out of the game. I was scrambling and he got me and that’s when I pulled a muscle. I spent the rest of the season healing up from that.” By the time Bodeman’s injury had healed, the Colonials already had a reliable quarterback and wanted to play him to get more experience. Bodeman hasn’t seen any action on the field since the YSU game. “My sophomore year, they brought in a transfer from San Diego State (Jimmy Walker) and I was second string the rest of the year,” Bodeman said. “I redshirted last year. That was extremely frustrating. I was the scout team quarterback every single day. I would show up to practice and do my best and be ready if I was needed.” The Colonials finished 2-9 and 0-6 in the NEC last fall, then went out and hired a new head coach, Bernard Clark Jr. Midway through April, Bodeman said, the coaching staff approached him about possibly switching to wide receiver. “They said they had a lot of injuries at receiver and they needed a guy who would be able to play the position,” Bodeman said.

Robert Morris University wide receiver Chase Bodeman finds his way through traffic during the Colonials' spring game. (Photos courtesy Lori Bodeman/ Robert Branyan III) “I went over there thinking it was mostly temporary, but I started to like it and I was decent at it. That’s going to be my new position going on. I’ll be a wide receiver.” He said moving from quarterback to receiver has been revealing, and a lot more physical. “I get to use my feet and get in space, which is something I’ve never done,” said Bodeman, who ran on the 4x100 relay at Whitmer. “I had run the ball at quarterback, in high school, but it’s a different view playing receiver, the way you see the game.” Bodeman made a good impression during the Colonials’ spring game, scoring two touchdowns. His first score came on an end-around from 9 yards, and his second touchdown came on an 8-yard pass from Walker, a senior. “It was extremely exciting,” Bodeman said. “I was basically sitting out the past two years and it was nice to get on the field and make a contribution. I just loved that. I had been waiting around the past two years, working out and trying to build myself up. Nothing is set in stone, but I’m going to be on every special team and I’m fighting for a starting (wide receiver) position. “With a new staff, nothing is guaranteed. But what I’ve shown so far, the coaches said they like my work ethic and physicality, and that will put me in a decent position for the fall.” Bodeman is majoring in business administration with a concentration in management at Robert Morris, which is located about 15 minutes outside Pittsburgh. He is the son of Matt Bodeman Sr. and Karen Bodeman, and Lori Berryman and Rob Branyan.
