On Nov. ballot

B-C-S to again decide tax issue Community forums are being planned in the Benton-Carroll-Salem School District to discuss an income tax request on the November ballot. The B-C-S school board voted unanimously earlier this month to place a 1 percent, 5-year tax issue on the Nov. 6 ballot. Voters rejected a similar request in May by 50 votes but approved a 3.89-mill property tax. The property tax is expected to generate about $1.4 million annually. Had it passed, the income tax would have raised about $1.98 million a year - also for operating expenses. “This vote is about controlling our own destiny as a school district community. Voting for this earned income tax means doubling down on a very high performing organization in our community in this time of uncertainty,” said Superintendent Guy Parmigian. Parmigian said the district is facing unprecedented revenue loss and he attributes much of the loss to the financial condition of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. With the Ohio Department of Taxation approving the recent devaluation of plant property, the school system is being hit with an annual loss of about $4.6 million in tax revenues. Another hit to the school district with the state phasing out the reimbursement payments that were designed to offset the end of public utility tangible personal property tax. The B-C-S administration is estimating the district will have lost about $4.5 million when the phase-out is complete in 2030. Those two factors, Parmigian said, are responsible for the “unprecedented losses.” What is called a bridge payment from the state of $1.8 million a year is scheduled to end in 2021. Parmigian said the payments will be needed as it will take time for the income tax, if it passes, to be collected in full. A school income tax is only collected on earned income, defined by the department of taxation as wages and self-employment earnings, including earnings from partnerships.

Interest, dividends, capital gains, pensions, Social Security income, rental income, lottery winnings, and income earned by estates are not subject to the school income tax. If passed, it would be paid by district residents with earned income regardless of where they work and would be collected the same way as the state income tax; through employer withholding or individual quarterly estimated payments, and annual returns. Parmigian said the board has been keeping a tight rein on spending. In 2012 fiscal year, the payroll was $11.5 million. After making staffing cuts, payroll expenses dropped to $9.7 million and haven’t risen since. “This has been done while being innovative, adding services for students, and being one of the top performing school districts academically in the state,” he said. “These efficiency measures will continue, but the magnitude of the annual revenue losses mean that the school district simply cannot cut its way out of the situation without drastically reducing educational opportunities for students. The school board is always looking for ways to always be fiscally conservative for our voters, and not just when money is needed.” If the income tax issue isn’t approved the school board has already decided it will return to the ballot, saying the need is there.

Northwood questions Zepf land purchase Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Northwood Planning Commission on Monday recommended to city council that it change the language in the city’s zoning code that would prevent a mental health and drug treatment facility from locating at a site on Curtice Road. The Zepf Center recently purchased the 1.2 acre parcel at 4508 Curtice Road

for $250,000 from Glenn and Meredith Hill on July 5, according to the Wood County Auditor’s website. The Hills had bought the property from James Jones and Joan Wielinski for $191,000 in 2011. The site, known as “Pumpkin Hill,” sold pumpkins and other autumn harvest products. One hundred percent of the profits were donated to charity. The property is zoned Rural Residential. The language would add a Section

D to the zoning code’s Definition of Residence. A, B, and C under “Definition of Residence,” specifically states which types of housing are excluded under the code.

The bright green areas show the peak of last year’s algal bloom in Lake Erie on Sept. 23, 2017. The highest concentrations of the bloom extend from near Toledo in the lower left side of the lake northeastward into Ontario, Canada. This year’s bloom is predicted to be smaller in size than 2017. (NOAA derived image from EUMETSAT Copernicus Sentinel-3a satellite data.)

Lake Erie

Algal bloom forecasted to exceed 2016 levels NOAA and its research partners predict that western Lake Erie will experience a harmful algal bloom (HAB) of cyanobacteria this summer that is smaller than in 2017 but larger than the mild bloom in 2016. Scientists expect this year’s bloom to measure 6 on the severity index, but could range between 5 and 7.5. The severity index is based on a bloom’s biomass — the amount of its harmful algae — over a sustained period. The largest blooms, 2011 and 2015, were 10 and 10.5, respectively. Last year’s bloom had a severity of 8. However, the size of a bloom is not necessarily an indication of how toxic it is. The toxins in a large bloom may not be as concentrated as in a smaller bloom. NOAA is developing tools to predict how toxic blooms will be. The bright green areas show the peak of last year’s algal bloom in Lake Erie on Sept. 23, 2017. The highest concentrations of the bloom extend from near Toledo in the lower left side of the lake northeastward into Ontario, Canada. This year’s bloom is predicted to be smaller in size than 2017. “NOAA continues to develop tools that provide early warning systems for harmful algal blooms which help visitors and the community make better informed decisions about recreation activities,” said W. Russell Callender, Ph.D., assistant NOAA administrator for the National Ocean Service. “The resources and services the lake provides drive our economy and we’ll keep working with our partners to bring the most accurate forecasts for the region.” The Lake Erie forecast is part of a NOAA ecological forecasting initiative that

aims to deliver accurate, relevant, timely and reliable ecological forecasts directly to coastal resource managers and the public. In addition to the seasonal forecast, NOAA also issues HAB bulletins twice a week during the bloom season, which provide a three- to five-day forecast. This year, NOAA will increase use of the Sentinel-3a satellite data, which first became available last year. The satellite measures coastal water color, which shows the location of HABs, as part of the European Union’s Copernicus program, which just launched the sister satellite, Sentinel-3b that will start providing imagery by next summer. The Sentinel-3 series can see features 10 times smaller than has been seen in the HABs forecasts for the last several years. Sentinel-3 provides more detail to improve the forecasts used by the water treatment plants and public safety managers. In recent years, visible blooms have not appeared until late July or early August. Microcystis, the cyanobacteria that form the bloom, will typically start growing when water temperatures reach 65-70 degrees, usually in mid-June. This year, the western basin warmed almost two weeks earlier than usual, reaching 70 degrees the last week of May, leading to the appearance of a small bloom. “This early start does not change the forecast severity, because the bloom is determined by the amount of phosphorus that goes into the water,” said Richard Stumpf, Ph.D., NOAA oceanographer. “Close attention to the weekly bulletins will be important through July and August to find the best places to enjoy the lake.”

Lake Erie

Kasich designates 8 ‘watersheds in distress’ Gov. John Kasich signed an executive order last week to initiate action by state agencies and their partners toward further reduction of nutrient runoff from watersheds in Lake Erie’s western basin. Runoff from agricultural fertilizer applications is considered a leading contributor to harmful algae blooms that have plagued the western end of the lake. The order targets eight watersheds in the western basin of Lake Erie that will be considered for designation under state law as “Watersheds in Distress,” based on their high nutrient levels, especially phosphorous from agricultural runoff. Named in the executive order are all or portions of the following watersheds: • Ottawa River; • Auglaize River; • Blanchard River; • St. Marys River; • Platter Creek; • Little Auglaize River; • Eagle Creek; • Little Flat Rock Creek “We’ve done a lot to ensure the health of Lake Erie, Ohio’s crown jewel, including investments of more than $3 billion since 2011 to improve water quality in the lake and its watershed,” said Kasich. “But it’s clear that more aggressive action is needed, especially to reduce or eliminate the algae blooms that have marred the western basin for years. This executive order is intended to kick these efforts into overdrive.” The director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture is directed by the order to consider these watersheds for official designation, under his statutory author-

ity, as “Watersheds in Distress,” and to seek consent of the Ohio Soil and Water Conservation Commission, as required by law. Upon consent by the commission, the directors of the state Department of Agriculture, Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Agency are ordered to recommend a rules package that establishes nutrient management requirements for phosphorus and all other nutrient sources. These include rules for the use, storage, handling and control of nutrients and the development of management plans for all agricultural land and operations within each designated watershed. A “Watershed in Distress” designation can be removed only after the director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture has confirmed the sustained recovery, restoration and mitigation of factors leading to the original designation. Accountability needed The Lucas County Commissioners issued a statement saying the executive order “does not go far enough.” “While action to address this toxic algae is welcomed from the Kasich Administration, we are concerned that this does not go far enough. We need policy that will meaningfully increase the level of accountability needed to move us toward the goal of a 40 percent reduction by 2025. It’s a step in the right direction, but also a missed opportunity to take more aggressive action after declaring the lake impaired under the Clean Water Act.” It goes on to state that leaders at the state level are needed to embrace account-

ability for nutrient reduction inherent in a Clean Water Act approach. “It means a basin-wide pollution diet, or Total Maximum Daily Load, which uses science to identify sources and amounts and would require all stakeholders to be at the table to determine the best approach to reduce nutrients.” Modest attempt State Rep. Michael Sheehy (D-Oregon) called Kasich’s executive order “another modest attempt” at improving the quality of water in the Western Basin of Lake Erie. “I appreciate the level of opposition the governor will face regarding this decision,” said Sheehy. “However, I will stand with anyone willing to make an even more serious attempt to save the gift of fresh water with which we’ve been blessed, which is vital not only to our quality of life but also to the long-term sustainability of human life in Northwest Ohio.” Unworkable Mike Ferner, from Advocates for a Clean Lake Erie, said the “Distressed Watersheds” designation does not work. “Unfortunately, the governor’s actions are costly, unnecessary and highly unlikely to result in any improvement in what causes Lake Erie to go toxic every summer.” What is needed, he said, is for Kasich to direct the Ohio EPA to follow the impaired watershed provision of the Clean Water Act, as it is being done successfully for Chesapeake Bay, “which the governor refuses to do.” See related story on page 6

The Oregon Fire Department is recruiting for part-time firefighter EMTs. The department offers flexible work schedules, great pay, an abundance of training opportunities, education reimbursement for paramedics, and more. As members of the fire department age and then retire, the need increases to recruit, explained Chris Mullins, president of the Oregon Fire Association. “We’re down 30 people within the fire department,” he said. Mayor Mike Seferian and City Administrator Mike Beazley tasked the union to come up with ideas to recruit and retain staff, he added. “I got a committee together to come up with ideas, a media blitz, physical agility, and orientation,” said Mullins. “If candidates still want to join, we would do an interview with them and explain basically what the job is about, what we expect of them. If they are hired, we place them

through EMT school. The city has its own EMT school. Training there lasts about six months. There will also be a brief general knowledge test that shows basic skills in math and work comprehension.” Top hiring priority would go to candidates who already are trained as an EMT, firefighter or paramedic, he said. Candidates can apply as young as 17 and a half years old, since training takes six months. “By the time they’re done with training, they will be 18-years-old, the minimum age in which they can be active members of the fire department,” he said. “We have an Explorers program for kids 14-17.5 years old at the fire department. It’s used as a stepping stone to get into the fire department. They do fire drills, but not live fire. There are other aspects they are allowed to do. They do fire and EMS related training,” he said. On July 18, there will be an orientation for all candidates at 7 p.m. at Station 42 on 1102 S. Wheeling St. “They will be able to see the trucks and

Farm bureau

Frustrated with Kasich order A farm organization is venting its frustration with Gov. John Kasich’s executive order adopting more aggressive action by state agencies to reduce runoff from watersheds in Lake Erie’s western basin. Runoff from agricultural fertilizer applications is considered a contributor to harmful algal blooms in the lake, the governor noted in signing the order Wednesday. Named in the governor’s order are all or portions of the Platter Creek, Little Flat Rock Creek, Little Auglaize River, Eagle Creek, Auglaize River, Blanchard River, St. Marys River and Ottawa River watersheds. The Ohio Farm Bureau was quick to criticize the order, saying the governor has abandoned one of his most basic principles by announcing “unilateral regulation of farming practices” in an attempt to improve Lake Erie water quality. The OFB said the order was issued with “no conversation with Ohio’s agriculture community” and will include regulation of more than 2 million acres in northwest Ohio. The order “ignores the transparent and inclusive approach to the regulatory process Kasich promised with his ‘Common Sense Initiative,’ ” the OFB said. “Because the agricultural community was not included in the process, farmers are left with frustration and uncertainty on both the process and implications of this order.” Adam Sharp, executive vice president of the OFB, said the bureau will file a formal public records request in order to get some clarity on what it includes. He said the order has no realistic recognition of the time or financial or educational resources required for farmers to comply, adding regulations under the order may conflict with multiple layers of existing regulation. “We are also curious why the order deals with only agriculture and not other pieces of the water puzzle, especially since the administration has prioritized other water quality initiatives instead of farm conservation programs,” Sharp said.

2020 bill signed The farm bureau does the support Clean Lake 2020 bill signed last week by the governor. Sponsored by Senator Randy Gardner (R-Bowling Green) and Representative Steve Arndt (R-Port Clinton) the bill provides more than $36 million in state support to combat harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie. It includes funding for soil and water conservation districts, efforts to end open lake disposal of dredged materials in Lake Erie and new lab space and in-lake monitoring equipment for the OSU Stone Lab program on Lake Erie. The bill also establishes a new Phosphorus Reduction Support Fund to assist the agricultural community in soil testing, nutrient management plans and managing and transforming manure applications. Funding is also included for additional tributary monitoring so science-based strategies can continue to be implemented in the counties of the Western Lake Erie Basin. Under the governor’s executive order, the director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture is to consider the watersheds for official designation as “Watersheds in Distress” and to seek consent of the Ohio Soil and Water Conservation Commission, as required by law. With the commission’s consent, the directors of the agriculture and natural resources departments and the Environmental Protection Agency are to recommend rules establishing management requirements for phosphorus and other nutrient sources.

Northwood prep sports fan walks course with the pros By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com

“

The caddies and the golfers always hang around and say thank you for volunteering at the end of the round...

“

Genoa resident Tom Siglar considers himself privileged — he gets to walk Highland Meadows with the LPGA professional golfers every summer. At the Marathon Classic, Siglar gets to hear the ladies’ conversations with their caddies and listen to rules interpretations, and he’s there in an official capacity. Siglar is a walking scorer — providing putts, chips, approach shot, and off the tee drive information to a digital system that feeds into the LPGA’s bank of statistics. It was no-brainer for Siglar to make the decision to become a volunteer. “Before I started volunteering, I always attended the tournament as a spectator. Then I said, ‘Hey, I might as well get involved by volunteering for the tournament that raises money for local charities,’” Siglar said. This upcoming school year will be Siglar’s 15th as a bus driver for Northwood Schools, but parents and student-athletes insist he is much more. He stays around for the game and becomes part of the fan base, cheering on and supporting the kids — something you don’t see from all of the drivers. He understands how much work an athlete puts into the game — he played high school basketball for Danbury and then officiated the game for 16 years. As an LPGA scorekeeper, he is a welltrained volunteer who loves the game of golf. He plays in a couple leagues at two different courses, and is golfing whenever he can with his membership to Crosswinds Golf Course on U.S. Route 20 in Perrysburg Township. His interest in the game goes beyond playing and scorekeeping — he registered and waited in line for tickets to The Masters Tournament. Once his chance to attend arrived in 2009, he took advantage, traveled to Georgia and joined a large crowd on a Monday practice day — three days before the tournament began. He has a scrapbook complete with his own photos of Tiger Woods and the beauty of Augusta National

He has also attended other events surrounding PGA tournaments, like The Memorial Tournament, which was founded 42 years ago in 1976 by Jack Nicklaus. It is played on a Nicklaus-designed course at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. However, this past weekend Siglar’s focus was on the LPGA’s Marathon Classic in Sylvania. In his 16 years as a walking scorer, he has seen times change with technology, helping him do his job better and easier. “When I first started out back in the day as a walking scorer, they used to do it by paper and pencil. It was a lot more work back then because after every day was done, I had to tear the piece of paper out and give it to a person and he or she had to report it to the scoring,” Siglar said. Now, he uses a device that feeds into the Wi-Fi system at Highland Meadows,

and everything updates in real time. “Every year, the week before the tournament they have a meeting of all the committees, and they always have LPGA officials come in and explain how to use the hand-held device and how to do the procedures on the tee shots and strokes to the green and sand saves and stuff like that,” Siglar said. He has to stay clear of the professionals and their caddies, walking well behind or clear of them, but he walks a pathway alongside and gets clearance through the thousands of fans who have paid for admission. He can attest to the fact that he’s walked alongside some well-known golfers. “I’ve had some good names,” Siglar said. “One year in the second round of the tournament, I had the group of Meg Mallon, Birdie Kim, who won the U.S. Open that year, and Rachel Heatherington. I also had Christie Kerr in a pro-am a few years ago, too.”

“You do get to hear some of it (conversation). They will introduce themselves before they tee off—what their names are, and I always tell them who I am and wish them good luck. One thing they tell me is they don’t want you to converse with them because they are constantly chattering about their golf game, but some will talk to you and some will not,” Siglar continued. “The caddies and the golfers always hang around and say thank you for volunteering at the end of the round and give you a golf ball for their appreciation. A lot of them do sign their ball, and if you want their autograph, you’ve got ask for it before the round.” One time during a rain delay, Siglar, Meg Mallon and other officials walking with that group took cover, and the conversation between he and Mallon picked up. “We got to talking a little bit. That was nice,” Siglar said. He says watching the ladies score under par in a seemingly “effortless” way is impressive. “I’ve seen a lot of good shots to the green. I’ve seen them make a lot of good, long putts for birdies. I’ve seen a lot of long drives, it’s just basically impressive on how far they can hit it,” Siglar said. “They make it look so easy. It’s just absolutely amazing how they hit it with a nice, smooth swing.” Although he doesn’t normally get tips for his own game, by observing he can pick up a few on his own. “I try to observe how they set up their swing and hit the ball, and how their backswing works and their follow-through,” Siglar said.

One apple contains the seeds for an entire orchard It’s easy to believe that, as just one individual, you don’t have much influence over anything. But in reality, it is only individuals who make the difference. The course of history has been influenced by many individuals. If a group of people had an impact, it’s only because they were led by an individual. Just like an apple, you also have seeds. Your seeds are those of impact and influence. They are planted by your behavior. What you do, how your treat others, along with the examples you set, are all factors which create your orchard. Although your children are an obvious part of the orchard you create, your impact radiates far beyond any offspring. Your orchard is fed by your interaction with others, in addition to how much you are willing to give of yourself. Your orchard can be either positive or negative. Your character, integrity, and intent are essential components which determine what type of seeds you sow. The people and circumstances impacted by your actions form your orchard. Standing up for the rights of others spreads positive seeds. Looking the other way when confronting injustices, is an im-

Golden Advice

by Bryan Golden plicit acceptance of aberrant behavior. Just one person standing up to abuses of civility has an amazingly powerful affect on others by paving the way for them to take a similar stand as well. Similarly, you don’t have to conform to groupthink, or crowd mentality just because everyone else is doing so. Thinking for yourself, questioning why, and saying “no” to anything that doesn’t make sense, sets a powerful example which influences others to do the same. Every action you take, no matter how small, becomes a seed. Anything you say, regardless of how insignificant it may seem, becomes a seed. Each and every day you are spreading seeds which do become an orchard you inspire. Negative seeds grow just as readily as positive ones. You decide which kind to plant. Positive seeds provide you and oth-

ers with great benefits. Negative seeds have the exact opposite effect, tainting each step you take. You ensure your seeds are positive by utilizing the following proven strategies. First and foremost, commit to behaving morally and ethically in everything you do. Always treat others with courtesy and respect. Think before you act. Determine what outcome you want to achieve. Consider the effect your actions will have. Learn from past experiences. Eliminate any behavior which generated negative results. Repeat those actions that produced desired results. Don’t act in haste. Consider all of your options along with the corresponding outcomes. Rushing to take action precludes thoroughly thinking things through. Impulsive behavior usually doesn’t make a situation better. Avoid making statements or taking action whenever you are feeling angry, resentful, or bitter. These emotional states cloud your judgment and alter your perception. Give yourself enough time to cool down so that you are in an appropriate frame of mind to objectively assess your situation. Helping others is one of the best ways

to grow your orchard. Assistance is manifested in many forms. A kind act toward a stranger can matter. Holding doors open, letting someone merge in front of you during heavy traffic, helping to carry groceries, smiling, and always being polite and courteous, are all effective ways of having a positive influence. You can be supportive of family and friends by encouraging them rather than criticizing. If you have successfully solved a problem someone is facing, offer insights as to what approach worked for you. Encourage your children to think for, and believe in themselves. Focus on what they are capable of achieving. Sow positive seeds through your positive behavior. You will grow an amazing orchard which then radiates outward creating many more orchards.

New tariffs have increased the costs of construction Construction costs accelerated again in June, with steep increases for a wide range of building and road construction materials as tariffs against foreign goods come into effect, according to an analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America of new Labor Department data. Associated officials say that contractors will have to assume much of the costs as tariffs increase the costs of many key construction materials. “Contractors’ costs for a wide range of materials and services have escalated dramatically in the past few months, putting a squeeze on profits and dimming the out-

Survey says 28th Amendment needed To the editor: How strongly do Americans feel about getting big money out of politics? A recent Bush/Biden survey on democracy found that over three-quarters (77 percent) agreed that “the laws enacted by our national government these days mostly reflect what powerful special interests and their lobbyists want.” Only 17 percent chose the alternative statement: “The laws enacted by our national government these days mostly reflect what the people want.” There is a growing cross-partisan grassroots movement in Ohio and across the country to change this. The American Promise-Port Clinton group met with and asked the two candidates for Ohio House, District 89, to support the goal of a 28th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution to 1) secure fair, free elections by limiting the undue influence of money in politics; 2) protect the rights of all Americans to equal participation and representation, rather than overrepresentation of donors and special interests; and 3)

Other construction inputs that rose sharply in price from May 2017 to May 2018 include diesel fuel, 52.8 percent; lumber and plywood, 18.3 percent; asphalt felts and coatings, 7.5 percent; ready-mixed concrete, 5.5 percent; and paving mixtures

He said, “I am committed to leading our area in reducing the large, dark money contributions that have plagued our political system.” Incumbent Rep. Steve Arndt was generous with his time and ideas but declined to support the 28th amendment initiative. Across the country, 19 state legislatures, and nearly 800 cities and towns have passed 28th Amendment resolutions with cross-partisan support.

Genoa’s Smith, McQueary golf in LPGA fundraiser By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Three high school golfers got to be on the big stage and help raise funds for local charities during the PNC Pro-Am at Highland Meadows Golf Club. The two returning Northern Buckeye Conference Players of the Year, Genoa golfer Ethan Smith and Otsego golfer Olivia Jackson, were joined by Lourdes University golfer Chayce McQueary (Genoa), radio broadcaster Dave Truman and LPGA professional Caroline Powers last Monday morning. This group of five golfers was not only one of 26 teams participating, they won the scramble, finishing at an 11-under-par gross and then getting additional strokes from handicapping. Along with that came a bevy or prizes, but more importantly, they say the biggest prize was the experience. “They all had a great time,” Truman said. “The thing I wanted Olivia and Ethan to find out was how to go about talking to people who have gone through a college with a scholarship. How they actually got their scholarship, whether they went out there and tried to find places that have scholarships available, or if the coaches actually come recruiting them.” Jackson, who had a 45.9 nine-hole average last year in leading the Knights to an NBC title, says she is “thankful” that Truman asked her to join the team. Truman is a regular on the Great Lakes Golf Show, which has ran nearly 25 years on Saturday mornings from 8-10 a.m. on 106.5 ESPN “The Ticket.” The show is hosted by Cardinal Stritch graduate and Creative Video Imagery and Toledo Sports Network owner Mike Jameson with a cast of regulars that include Truman, Robert Robinson of the Aurora

Project and broadcaster Mik Gonzales. A long time supporter of junior golf, Truman began putting a team together for the Marathon Classic’s annual pro-am years ago. “I try to reward the ones who have done well,” Truman said. “It started off with college girls — I got Becky Tudor from Perrysburg, who went down to McNeese State on a golf scholarship and graduated down there, and Brooke Darah, who went to Sylvania Northview and Lourdes, and Stephanie St-Jean from Findlay, who went to Toledo. So, I invited those three girls the first year. “I’m just giving the kids an experience that they will remember. It’s for all the hard work they put into the game. They deserve to be rewarded in some way or another,” Truman continued. Last year, his team included then-returning NBC Player of the Year Leigh Snyder (Eastwood), Autumn Schmidt (Lake) and Jackson. This year, the problem for Truman was the pro — Powers— but in a good way.

First of all, he says he missed an opportunity to talk with her father and caddy, Eddie “Bud Powers,” who is the Bowling Green High School hockey coach. Second of all, Caroline Powers, an assistant women’s golf coach at Michigan State who still participates in the LPGA’s Symetra Tour, showed him up a few times. “I kind of got screwed over three or four times by Caroline Powers. Every time I put it within 15 feet (of the pin), she would be 13 feet. On No. 1, I put it six feet away from the pin for birdie, and she puts it four feet. She oneupped me every time,” Truman said. However, on their way to a first place finish, he said it was Jackson who used her women’s tee advantage to get them off to great drives, but Smith’s drives were beyond belief. Smith’s caddy was his high school coach, Mike DeStazio. “The one who really impressed me was Ethan Smith because Mike, the coach, was telling me that he is not very long off the tee,” Truman said. “Mike says, ‘he hits his irons fairly well and his short game is phenomenal.’ He made some putts, but I don’t know if he grew like

six inches since last year. He was nailing his drives 300 yards and he’s not the long driver on the team. Yeah, that makes no sense.” Last year, Smith, a sophomore and the Comets’ No. 1 player, helped DeStazio’s squad win its first conference championship in eight years. Genoa won all four Northern Buckeye Conference shootouts and put an exclamation mark on the regular season by winning the NBC tournament on Sept. 19 at Green Hills in Clyde. Smith averaged 40.2 strokes per nine. “He’s very deserving and very proud of his accomplishments,” DeStazio said. “He works hard. He plays golf seven days a week. To give you an example, he gets back from this pro-am and he goes to the golf course and to the driving range. “I’ll tell you what — he asked me to caddy, which I think is a great honor. I would tell you I carried his clubs for seven miles and five-and-a-half hours in 90 degree weather. I can’t imagine going home and going to the driving range. I realize I’m 50 years older than him, but for me, I had a blast. It was a great honor for him.” Truman’s experience can be valued, too, as he has several challenge matches scheduled this summer with top golfers. Truman was with the radio crew when they broadcast live from Highland Meadows Saturday morning, the third day of the nationally-televised Marathon Classic LPGA. As a golfer, he averages 41.9 in one of the two leagues he plays in at Crosswinds Golf Course in Perrysburg Township. He and partner Jeremy Orth of Walbridge are defending champs of the Tuesday league.

not being too tight or too loose. Children should know and use accepted hand signals for turns and for slowing and stopping. They need to know it is never acceptable to go through a stop sign without first coming to a complete stop. Yes, adults violate this law just as much as children do, and yes, traffic citations can be issued to bike riders for violating this law. Keeping a bike in good working order is also important. Lubricating and tightening the chain and adjusted the brakes on a regular basis is one key to safe bicycling. If the bike is going to be ridden near dusk or after dark makes having lights on the bike essential. Displaying a red light on the rear of the bike is just as important as having a bright

headlight. Parents need to set the ground rules for their children’s bike riding activities. Youngsters should be told where they can and cannot ride, the amount of time they can be out on bikes, and what to do if they face any unexpected circumstances. Skateboarding is another popular activity among youths this time of year. Riding a skateboard on unfamiliar surfaces can be dangerous. Uneven sidewalks can cause a rider to be thrown, causing injury. This is one reason wearing a helmet while skateboarding is just as important as wearing one on a bicycle. There are places specifically designed to ride skateboards, and it is worth the drive to these facilities to ride safely. Kids love to swim and making sure they have the proper supervision while in the water will prevent a potential tragedy. Enrolling your children in swimming and water safety classes is one way to improve swimming skills for your youngster. These classes are usually available through the American Red Cross and local YMCAs.

This year, we have had many days in which temperatures have risen above 90 degrees, flirting with the 100-degree mark. They have been accompanied by high levels of humidity, which tempts just about everyone to get in the water. These weather conditions make it important for everyone, including children, to wear sunscreen to prevent serious sunburn. Making sure kids do not spend too much time outside is a parent’s responsibility. Kids will resist going back in the house if it means curtailing their having fun, so it will usually take some direction from an adult to get them to go inside. Following these few tips will help kids have a safe and enjoyable summer. This article is a public service from the Crime Prevention Division of the Lake Township Police Department. Township residents may obtain further information on crime prevention and public safety topics by contacting Ron Craig, crime prevention specialist/community policing officer, at 419-4816354.

Although summer is about half over, it is never too late to think about child safety. Kids love riding their bicycles in the summer months and keeping them safe as they ride is important. Children need to be told they must wear helmets while bicycling. They may not think it’s “cool” to wear them, but they should be informed what’s really “not cool” is ending up in the hospital with a head injury that could have been prevented or lessened with the use of a helmet. There are also ways to make wearing helmets more appealing to youngsters. One way is to apply a decal to the helmet. Caution should be taken, however, to make sure any decals are not so big as to cover up too much of the helmet’s color that may increase visibility. Encourage your youngsters to have their friends sign their helmets and check with those friends’ parents to see if your child could sign their children’s helmets. This increases the “cool factor” and will result in a higher level of helmet usage. Helmets should also fit the rider properly,

Epiphany of the Lord Festival celebrating 50 years The 50th annual Epiphany of the Lord Homecoming Festival will be held Saturday and Sunday July 21 and 22 on the St. Thomas Aquinas campus at 729 White St. in East Toledo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of the longest-running parish festivals in the city of Toledo,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Tate, festival chairman. The first parish festival began as an outgrowth of the fall feather parties commonly held just before Thanksgiving each year. In 1967, the leaders of the Altar and Rosary Society and Holy Name Society, along with other interested parishioners, met to begin planning the first festival. The founding members included Marcella Dorhman, Norm Heilman, Hank Krupp, Don Mesteller, Bob Tate, Bill Thomas and Mike Wilk. Their vision was to create an event that not only raised funds for the parish but also was a true â&#x20AC;&#x153;homecomingâ&#x20AC;? for both the parish and the East Toledo community. The founding leadership decided that the festival should incorporate ideas from feather parties and carnivals that were popular at the time. Ideas taken from feather parties included the Big Six wheel and parish raffles. Popular carnival attractions such as a wide variety of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games including the duck pond, basketball booth, pony rides, and plenty of choices for food would also be included. A trademark of the early festival years was circus music that played in the background to add to the carnival atmosphere. The first festival was held for two days on the parish parking lot, with items borrowed from the other East Side parishes as well as St. Charles Hospital. The event was a success, eventually expanded to three days. Each year, parishioners called on their creativity and craftsmanship to add new things and improve the festival. At its peak, hundreds of volunteers were needed to staff booths at the festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Several generations of many families have worked and participated in the event over the years,â&#x20AC;? Tate said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Festival-goers may remember the

Tate said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 2018 Homecoming Festival continues to change and adapt to changing times while trying to stay consistent with the intent of the founders,â&#x20AC;? he said. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;homecomingâ&#x20AC;? theme will be a focus of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. The parish welcomes back Father Gilbert Mascarenhas as the new pastor of Epiphany of the Lord Parish. Past parish priests, nuns as well as teachers have been invited to a special re-

union Mass at St. Thomas on Saturday at 4 p.m. Following Mass, there will be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;homecomingâ&#x20AC;? reunion of parishioners and past parish school graduates from 5-10 p.m., with entertainment including karaoke under the tent. There will also be a Mexican dinner in the church basement, along with funnel cakes, walking tacos, Sno-cones and hot dogs and plenty of adult beverages. Adult and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities will be available in the church basement and gym.

Sunday will feature a family-friendly atmosphere with special guests for photo opportunities. A barbeque chicken dinner will be held from 12:30 p.m. until sold out. The festival will conclude at 6 p.m. Sunday evening with the first drawing of the summer raffle. Traditional festival donuts will be available both days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These always sell out so it is good to get yours early,â&#x20AC;? Tate said. Admission to the festival is free and open to all.

The family of Lauren Salas, a 2012 graduate of Northwood High School, wants to thank the people and businesses of Northwood and the surrounding communities for offering their support and encouragement. Family and friends of the 24-year-old held a fundraiser June 23 at Northwood High School. The monies raised at the event will help Salas pay medical bills and support her while she recovers from surgery. Salas, who is employed as a STNA (State Tested Nurse Aide) at Kingston Rehabilitation Center, in Perrysburg, was recently diagnosed with multi-focal invasive ductal carcinoma. She recently had a unilateral mastectomy and is recovering. She is the second woman in the family to be diagnosed with breast cancer within a year. Her aunt, Shelley Welsh, of Northwood, has just completed her battle with the disease. Welsh, a 1990 Northwood graduate, was the first in the family to be diagnosed, that she knows of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lauren is doing very well,â&#x20AC;? Welsh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The benefit was a success. I would say there were about 300 people that came out during the day. Some people were friends of the family and of Lauren and some came because of the article in The Press.â&#x20AC;? Welsh said that everyone who came out were very positive and offered their support and prayers. Salas will have an extended road to recovery in the next few months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just had the surgery last Friday,â&#x20AC;? Welsh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did find cancer in her lymph nodes so she most likely will need chemotherapy.â&#x20AC;? Welsh said they would like to thank the people and businesses who helped Salas. Businesses which helped included

Inspirational Message of the Week: Most of the World is Invisible Physics provides a wealth of examples which illustrate that we see but a tiny fraction of the universe. Visible light is a tiny fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum, and whereas our galaxy (the MilkyWay) was believed by scientists less than a hundred years ago to be the only galaxy, it is now known that there are at least 100 billion galaxies besides our own, each galaxy containing some 100 billion stars. And consider that the entire universe, some 14 billion years ago, was confined to an area smaller than an atom. There are so many ways in which what we see and experience is just the tip of the iceberg that we would do well to be humble. Overconfidence can be dangerous in the realms of both knowledge and action. The psychologists Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman have done seminal work exploring cognitive biases

Northwood

(the ways in which our thinking leads us to make faulty judgements or errors). One of these biases is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;availability heuristic,â&#x20AC;?which leads us to favor data and facts that are ready to hand. We give prominence to recent events and are biased towards what we know, when in fact what we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know can be very important to the issue or judgement we are making. Be humble in the face of what you do not know. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;1 Corinthians 13:9-12 NIV

Black Swamp Conservancy presents summer Story Walks Imagine walking with your kids or grandkids on a beautiful summer day - and reading a book at the same time. Black Swamp Conservancy is combining two summer activities in a Story Walk program that will be appearing around the region this summer. Story Walks promote literacy, physical activity and community involvement. A book is taken apart and mounted (by page or spread) on panels that are posted along a walking trail or path. Families not only read the book, but also have activities to complete or items to collect along the way. By the end of the program, they have read a book, taken a walk and completed activities together. The first book in the Story Walk program, “From Caterpillar to Butterfly,” by Deborah Heiligman, will be displayed throughout the grounds of The 577 Foundation in Perrysburg, in conjunction with the Foundation’s Monarch Metamorphosis program this summer. Monarch Metamorphosis was inspired by retired biology teacher Susan Garn and her husband Grant, who have perfected the art of fostering monarchs from egg to flyers over the past several years. Through support from the Country Garden Club, Perrysburg Garden Club, the Garns and Tom Belcher, The 577 Foundation will have monarchs in their varying life stages on display throughout the summer, including butterfly releases. The Story Walk is available free of charge during The 577 Foundation’s regular hours (daily from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.). The Conservancy will use two additional books for the Story Walk program this year: “A River” by Marc Martin, and “A Seed is Sleepy,” by Dianna Hutts Aston. The three books will be rotated in outdoor settings throughout Northwest Ohio. Check the Conservancy’s Facebook page (@Black Swamp Conservancy) or website (www.BlackSwamp.org) for dates and locations. The project was funded by a grant from the Seed-to-the-Sower Fund of the Toledo Community Foundation.

Mom’s House burglarized Mom’s House of Toledo has been burglarized. Staff of the five-star childcare center devoted to helping low-income single moms graduate from high school and college discovered the theft on the morning of July 9. Major damage was done to an entryway of the building and more than a month’s

supply of food was stolen from their pantry. Commercial kitchen appliances including cookers and microwaves were taken, along with various electronics and computers, some which were the children’s educational tablets. “It’s overwhelmingly disappointing to our organization and the people we serve,” said executive director Christina Rodriquez. “Our organization utilizes commercial appliances to cook meals daily for our kids and the in-classroom tablets serve as essential teaching tools for our teachers and kids.” Rodriguez estimates damages to the building alone total more than $4,000. The value of the other stolen items is still being calculated. An investigation is in progress. “We do our best to secure the space and have security systems and plans in place to help protect against these things. They managed to remove the back door and help themselves to things that were supposed to go to helping moms and kids.” The organization’s leadership and board have taken steps to maintain normal operations. “The safety and care for our staff, moms and their kids are our first concern,” said Mike Kruse, Mom’s House board chairman. “Daytime security and operations are not compromised, and the building will be secured by this evening. We are making the necessary adjustments to meet our mission.” In light of the theft, Mom’s House is actively seeking donations to replace the lost equipment and repair the facility. “We need

commercial kitchen appliances to serve our kids and we are working now to install a new door and fix damage to the building,” said Rodriquez. “These things cost money, and this is money we did not anticipate spending.” To donate to Mom’s House or to provide in-kind support, visit Mom’s House on Facebook or visit www.momshousetoledo. org.

Plants that will thrive in your landscape’s shady spots The heat of the summer is showing itself this month with temperatures consistently in the 90’s and high humidity. Hot weather is not unusual for July and it can be beneficial for some of the crops growing in the fields. Corn benefits from the heat, and it has been said that if you go outside on a hot, humid evening in July, you can actually hear the corn growing. If we need it, there is a special day set aside this month to recognize the heat and humidity that can be a part of July. That day is July 23 which is “Hot Enough for Ya? Day” and this year, we seem to need it. To work comfortably outside on these hot days, it’s best to confine gardening activities to the shady areas of our yards and gardens. There are some beautiful plants that prefer to grow in shady areas under trees, near garages or fences, and on the north sides of our homes. A trick to growing healthy plants in the shade is to check carefully before planting just how much shade the plant will tolerate. Some shade plants actually need some sun in order to perform well, while others will do just fine in deep shade. Hostas are commonly believed to be a deep shade plant but there are varieties that require more sun than shade. Here are shade plants and the amount of shade each can tolerate as well as other growing requirements for their healthy performance: • Hellebore (Helleborus spp.). This flowering perennial will grow in full shade and will also tolerate dry conditions (making it ideal for growing under spreading trees). It blooms in the early spring with white, pink, red, yellow, or green blooms and it is very pest resistant. • Toad lily (Tricyrtis hirta). This flowering perennial blooms in the fall with white, pink, or lavender flowers. This plant will not tolerate full shade but prefers an area with light to part shade. • Brunnera (Brunnera macrophyllia). This perennial produces tiny, blue blooms and has variegated heart-shaped leaves. It will flourish in full shade and prefers moist soil. • Coral Bells (Heuchera hybrids). Heuchera produces tiny, colorful blooms on tall spiky stems. It will grow in part shade and needs moist soil. The darker the color of the foliage of the Heuchera plant the more shade it will tolerate. • Astilbe (Astilbe spp.) This perennial sports ferny, feathery foliage and airy plumes of blooms. It does well in part shade and requires plenty of moisture. It is very pest resistant. • Lily-of-the-Valley (Convallaris mojalis). A very hardy, ground cover, Lilyof-the-Valley does well in full shade and

blooms in late spring with tiny, bell-shaped blooms that are very fragrant. This perennial will spread and cover bare areas under trees. • White Trillium (Trillium grandifloram). Trillium is a native perennial that can be found in wooded areas. Trillium can be purchased at garden centers and will grow comfortably in part shade, moist areas of your yard. It has large, deep-green, puffy-veined leaves and large white or pink blooms that bloom in early spring. • Impatiens (Impatiens spp.). Commonly sold at most garden centers,

Hardy, attractive and easy to care for, butterfly weed attracts butterflies as well as ladybugs and other beneficial insects. impatiens come in many bright colors and will bloom all season. Impatiens will grow in full shade but they need plenty of moisture to do well. • Deadnettle (Lamium spp.). This perennial ground cover will do well and spread in the shade and it will tolerate dry conditions. The foliage comes in a variegated silver and green, chartreuse, and deep green. It produces purple flowers. With the decline in our butterfly population, it is becoming more of a necessity to try and include butterfly-attracting plants in our backyard beds and gardens. One plant that can provide much-needed help to butterflies is the butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberose). This perennial is very hardy, easy-care, and very attractive. It has slim, pointed green leaves with bright clusters of

orange blooms at the top of long, straight stems. This plant can be grown from seed or as a transplant and grows to about 1 to 1-1/2 feet tall. It prefers full-sun or partial shade and it is a drought resistant plant. The blooms of butterfly weed produce a sweet nectar that attracts butterflies and provides food for them. Interestingly, it also attracts certain types of insects that draw ladybugs and other beneficial insects to the plant and into your garden. It’s a great addition to any garden or flower bed. Garden tips: Harvest veggies in the early morning or evening. Water container plants daily and fertilize weekly. Later in the month, plant veggies for a fall harvest.

See the best of your community: visit a fair this summer By David T. Daniels Director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re blessed in Ohio. Be it our natural resources, our climate, our places or our people - we are lucky to live where we do. This summer and fall, each of us has an opportunity to see first-hand the best of each of Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communities by visiting a fair. Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 94 county and independent fairs are showcases of our towns and cities and the Ohio State Fair is recognized as one of the top exhibitions in the nation. Together, these events demonstrate all that is good about the places we call home. Fairs are unique. Before our eyes, we get to watch the future of an industry learn and grow. Food and agriculture is Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest industry, accounting for

$124 billion and one in every eight Ohio jobs. Fairs are the proving grounds and the learning labs for the next generation of workers and leaders in this industry. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to watch a nine-year-old future lawyer argue before a judge. But we can watch a teenager pick out an animal; learn how to feed and care for it; prepare and show that animal against his or her peers; and then sell it at a livestock sale, ultimately for consumption by the public. The future of agriculture is on display every day at our county and independent fairs and I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take the chance to see it for yourself. We can learn at our fairs, too. I firmly believe that one of the greatest misunderstood concepts of our time is responsible food production. Only two percent of our population lives on the farm and produces food and other products for the remaining 98 percent. Fairs help to educate everyone

about the importance of agriculture and how Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers and producers go to great lengths to produce food and fiber responsibly. Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fairs have something for everyone. Entertainment, food, exhibitions, competitions, music, camping, animals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you name it and you can find it on a fairground. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place where people of all ages from different backgrounds with varying tastes can gather together to learn something, see something or do something. People are always happy at the fair. Now doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that sound like a place to go and spend some time? I hope you and your family will make time to do so this year.

Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state and county fairs have something for everyone including these Miniature Shetland Ponies. (Press file photo by Ken Grosjean)

Things to consider when choosing a wedding party Making the important decision to get married can ÄŽll couples with joy and excitement as they imagine spending the rest of their lives together.

closest acquaintances to be part of their wedding parĆ&#x;es. Being asked to serve as a bridesmaid or groomsman is an honor. Some couples may be tempted to ask every friend, sibling or cousin they have to be in their wedding parĆ&#x;es, and some do. However, the larger the wedding party, the more people couples have to coordinate and the more personaliĆ&#x;es they must manage. While large wedding parĆ&#x;es are in style, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any one-size-ÄŽts-all formula to decide which size party is right for a parĆ&#x;cular situaĆ&#x;on. These Ć&#x;ps can help couples decide on the size of their wedding parĆ&#x;es. Match it to scope and style. Wedding planners may use a standard raĆ&#x;o for a proporĆ&#x;on of guests to wedding party members. That raĆ&#x;o is one pair of wedding aĆŠendants for every 50 guests. This creates a balanced feel where the more people in aĆŠendance, the larger the wedding party and vice versa. Consider your expenses. Wedding party members may be asked to spend considerable amounts of money to be in the wedding, but the couple will have certain expenses Ć&#x;ed to the wedding party as well. These can include limousines to ferry people between the ceremony and recepĆ&#x;on, photography costs to arrange and photograph large wedding parĆ&#x;es, the cost of boutonnieres and bouquets, aĆŠendantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; giĹ&#x152;s, as well as extra mouths to feed at the rehearsal dinner. Small wedding parĆ&#x;es can be easier on couplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; budgets. Select reliable, easygoing people. Wedding party members should be people couples can rely on, and it only helps if wedding party members are not prone to overreacĆ&#x;ng. Choose a wedding party that can be trusted and people with whom you get along.

Powerlifting rocks Oak Shade Grove By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It’s truly a sight to see. Like something out of an episode of ESPN’s Strongman Competition, men and women compete against one another lifting enormous amounts of weight while building camaraderie and cheering on one another. Instead of televised on a national network, the event took place in Oregon. On a Saturday morning as part of Oregon’s Boomfest celebration, the USPF Regional Powerlifting Competition featured stellar weightlifting competition at Oak Shade Grove. The Animal House Gym’s Mario Rizo, one of the organizers, says the event was a success. “This was the first USPF Regional

Powerlifting event we threw,” said Rizo. “We received the ‘thumbs up’ in May and we had a vision of what we wanted it to look like. We are very happy with how it turned out.” Of the competitors, Travis Diehl and Emilio Duran are local athletes who have made a name for themselves. Diehl, 15, an Elmore resident, plays for the Woodmore football and track teams. He says these grueling events can last five hours. “I’ve been weightlifting since I was in sixth grade. My dad got me into it. Powerlifting helps build my strength and confidence,” he said. “It’s nerve-racking competing at an event like this — you’ve got all these people watching you, and this was my first event.” Diehl, who competes in the bench (209 pounds), squat (292) and deadlift (353) is going to be a sophomore, finishing of his

freshman year with a 3.6 GPA. He is gearing up for his second season of football for Coach Lou Bosh’s Wildcats. Duran, 23, is a 2013 graduate of Clay High School, where he competed on the football and track teams. He makes his home in Oregon and currently works at the Toledo Correctional Institution. Duran, who has been powerlifting for three years, can bench 436 pounds, squat 622 and deadlift 600. “I enjoy it a lot,” he said. “It’s a passion for me.” Duran competes in part because of the “great bonds” he is able to build with his competitors. Duran works out at the Animal House Gym, which is located on Starr Avenue in East Toledo. The competition was organized by owners Rizo and Oregon resident

Powerlifting (Continued from page 16) David Poiry. The Animal House Gym features some of Northwest Ohio’s strongest men and women, and it was on display Saturday. “The Animal House is a training facility that is a raw, bare-bones lifting gym,” Rizo said. “People come to the Animal House for results in power. People get what they put in and the atmosphere inside the gym will help those accomplishments. It reminds me of Rocky Balboa going to Russia for training and using that atmosphere to drive him to beat the Russian. “Powerlifting is a brotherhood/ sisterhood and although you compete against one another, a true powerlifter will always cheer on the other person on the platform. My guys at The Animal House Gym are an extension to my family. My partner and I truly

believe that is why we opened the only powerlifting gym in Toledo.” Duran also credits the place for its atmosphere. “The gym is always a good time, there’s never a dull moment. It’s a brotherhood and sisterhood in there,” Duran adds. “Everyone gets along and it’s just a great environment.” Rizo works at the BP-Husky Toledo Refinery as a safety advisor and also as an Oregon firefighter and EMT. He credits the sponsors — Corporate Splash, One More Production Company, Grogan’s Towne & Country, Dunright Building Services, The Cock ‘n Bull, Anderson Powerlifting, Captain Jack; Sprague Farms; Erdmann Sound Productions and Oregon Mayor Mike Seferian and Tom Zunk for making it all possible. “I would like to thank my sponsors because it would’ve been much more difficult to pull off on short notice,” Rizo said.

Cox takes ‘team code’ to Michigan State

The Press Box

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Jamye Cox is used to living by a certain code. It goes like this: You got my back and I’ve got yours. She says that a lot when she talks about playing volleyball. Team first, and individual accolades second. Cox, 19, an Oregon resident and a three-time first-team All-Ohio performer at St. Ursula Academy, will enter her sophomore year at Michigan State University this fall. It only took her a few weeks to vault into coach Cathy George’s starting lineup in 2017, and the Spartans eventually reached the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament. Cox said it “wasn’t a huge surprise” that she became a starter so early as a freshman, but that’s her confidence talking. “The first three or four games we played in the preseason, I was a train wreck,” Cox said. “I felt like I was so far behind everybody. I thought I was overplaying. I struggled a little bit (early on) against Wisconsin and Minnesota, but two weeks into the Big Ten season I realized I was just playing and loving the game. That was enough, instead of trying to do too much. I had to trust in my teammates and know they had my back.” Cox, a 2016 AVCA/Under Armour first team All-America, made her collegiate debut on Aug. 25 against Furman, recording three digs and an assist. “I was a full-time starter heading into the Big Ten season,” she said. “It was kind of surprising, because I knew the competition was tough. But I knew me being me, I was going to go after it.” Cox said she thought playing in her first Big Ten match would be more nervewracking, but in the end, it really wasn’t. “It was at Wisconsin,” she said. “Stepping onto the floor there, there were more fans than I had ever seen when I played. Wisconsin has always been near the top of the Big Ten. With everyone cheering against me, I still had that group (of teammates) that supported me. It was my time to shine and I thought about what I could do for the team. I had my teammates’ backs and they had mine. As I started playing, the nerves went away.” Cox could have gone to school just about anywhere, but she committed to Michigan State before her junior year in high school. She wanted to challenge herself and compete in the Big Ten, which more than stacks up against any conference in the land. Penn State has won seven national championships since 1999; Nebraska, the 2017 champion, has won three NCAA titles since 2006. “That’s why I went there,” Cox said of MSU. “Other conferences don’t have as many good teams. Every single weekend, back-to-back, you can never take a day off. To me, that was cool. I knew I wanted to become better, and you know you don’t get a break on the weekends. No game is ever handed to you in the Big Ten.” The Spartans’ volleyball website lists Cox as 5-foot-6, but she admits she’s really 5-3. She started last season as a defensive specialist, but coach George soon moved her to libero full-time. “She was good,” George said. “She was putting up numbers and she got better and better as the season went. She knew she had to earn her spot. That’s how we do

Family Center golf outing supports East Toledo youth By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com

Michigan State defensive specialist Jamye Cox (St. Ursula), an Oregon resident, hits in a Big Ten match against Penn State. (MSU Athletic Communications) things here. You have to be able to show why you’re out there. She worked really hard to put herself in that position. She’s been continually growing in our program.” George said Cox “was a special player coming out of high school,” and she first saw Cox play in the seventh grade. “She was playing with an older team,” George said. “You could tell she had moxie and confidence and was a very determined young lady. We kept our eye on her over the years and she committed her sophomore year. There’s been a lot of growth over the past year. She realized Big Ten volleyball is strong and they will pick apart every part of your game. If she sees any weakness in her game, she’s bound and determined to improve on it.” As a freshman Cox appeared in all 112 sets and earned MSU’s Extra Mile Award, which is given to the player who goes the extra mile to improve. Her 388 digs ranked second all-time in program history, and she averaged 3.46 digs per set, which ranked 10th in the Big Ten and second among conference freshmen. Cox averaged 5.0 digs

per set in the NCAA tournament, which ranked 13th nationally and second among Big Ten players. Michigan State lost seven seniors to graduation last year after finishing 24-9 and 14-6 (fourth) in the Big Ten. Coach George said she will rely on Cox’s leadership and experience this season, and Cox has no issue with that. “We only have one senior,” she said. “That’s going to affect how I play a lot. Last year we had seniors on the court and they were guiding me and showing me the ropes. Now, we’re going to have to help the freshman because we only have one senior. We’re going to have to talk a lot more and we have to be somebody (the younger players) can look up to and follow.” Cox, whose sister, Ryann, plays volleyball at Bowling Green State University, is still deciding on a major, either in advertising or psychology. “In the long run,” she said, “I want to be a coach.” Cox is the daughter of James and Tammy Cox.

The East Toledo Family Center is holding its 2018 Starboard Side Golf Classic on Saturday, July 28 at Chippewa Golf Club – 8:30 a.m. shotgun start. The Family Center has been active in the community since 1901, “strengthening one life at a time,” states a promotional letter from golf outing chairman Matt Grimes and ETFC Executive Director Jodi Gross. The golf outing proceeds will be used for youth athletic programs. Over the past year, 374 youth participated in the Family Center’s cheerleading, junior hoops, basketball, tee ball, coaches’ pitch, baseball, and soccer programs. Adult coaches certified through the NYSCA program volunteered 110 hours. “The recreational leagues give children a chance to have fun, learn new skills, make friends and be physically active,” states a press release. The year saw 23,688 hours of structured activity time in youth sports programming, and 95 percent of parents reported they would refer a friend or family member to the Family Center’s programs. “It hasn’t always been easy,” says the letter from Grimes and Gross. “Recruiting volunteer coaches has become more difficult and parents sometimes forget what our program is all about. But we haven’t. Watching a child run and kick a soccer ball with their friends, goofing around on the bench while waiting for their turn at bat and even making a basket at the buzzer is what our program is about. Giving children a chance to have fun, learn new skills, make friends and be physically active is what makes our program unique to others.” ETFC is looking for event sponsors and teams to participate in the golf outing. To be involved or register a team, deadline is July 20. The cost to enter a team is $300 and includes a door prize, meal and beverage, and goodie bag. Call Tracy Garufos at 419-6911429 or for more information visit www. etfc.org.

Campos running for Lourdes Julia Campos (Waite) will run cross country at Lourdes University beginning in the fall, coach David Espinoza announced. While she did not compete in cross country for the Indians, she competed in track and field, volleyball, and basketball. “Julia is a great student-athlete and has a positive attitude,” Espinoza stated. “She is a great addition to Lourdes University and the cross country program.” On the oval, Campos posted a top time of 2:30 in the 800 meter run and 5:52 in the mile for Waite, and finished in the top three each season in the Toledo City League. She earned All-Academic honors in the City League as well.

Chris Bassitt bounces back after Tommy John surgery By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Tommy John surgery is not a death sentence for a Major League pitcher’s career anymore. But it can sideline a pitcher for the better part of roughly 18 months as this delicate surgical procedure on the elbow requires a lengthy recovery time. Genoa graduate Chris Bassitt, who recently returned to pitch for the Oakland Athletics, is doing well following his recovery from the surgery. The Curtice native sports a 1-3 record with a 3.00 ERA in five starts. And his team is also in the hunt for a playoff spot as Oakland, which is 51-41, sits six games behind Seattle for the second and final wild card spot. Bassitt said he feels good at this stage. “It’s about getting those reps in and building up strength,” he said. “I think I’m doing a good job.” He’s pleased to once again play in meaningful games in July after the A’s struggled in previous seasons. “It is fun. It makes things a lot more enjoyable. Unfortunately, I was part of two teams that weren’t really in (the playoff race), so it’s a newfound experience. Trying to win is the biggest thing in baseball. It makes it all the more enjoyable,” Bassitt said. Oakland general manager Billy Beane worked his magic the last few years to rebuild a team that had qualified for the playoffs for three straight seasons from 2012-14 before falling back. “I think we had a young group of guys and they came up through the minor leagues and they won (in the minors). They changed the whole culture. They came in expecting to win because they didn’t know anything else,” said Bassitt. “We added a couple pieces like Blake Treinen, who’s an all-star, and a lot of the bullpen guys. (Trevor) Cahill, (Edwin) Jackson and (Brett) Anderson have all done well for us. It’s a testament to who we picked up. I think it was just the young guys coming in and being here to win. That’s all we’ve really done.”

(Photo by Michael Zagaris/ Oakland Athletics) Bassitt got to Oakland by way of the Chicago White Sox as he was traded following the 2014 season in a six-player deal that included Jeff Samardzija. Bassitt went 1-1 with a 3.94 ERA in his lone season with Chicago. In 2015, he began the year pitching for Oakland’s Triple A affiliate, the Nashville Sounds, before being promoted to the majors. Despite having a 1-8 record due to a lack of run support, Bassitt had an ERA of 3.56 in 13 starts. As you might expect, living in the Bay

area has been a bit of an adjustment for Bassitt. “It has its positive and negatives,” he said. “It’s a completely different lifestyle than I’ve experienced.” Having a personal life while playing professional baseball is difficult, but Bassitt credits his wife, Jessica, for being there. “I feel like it’s a big testament to your significant other. We’re not in control much in this game, where we’re going,

what teams we play for,” he said. “It’s extremely (difficult), but she’s been living with me for the last few years and dealing with the problems of moving. The biggest thing is we have no control over what’s going on.” Former Genoa baseball coach Ron Rightnowar, once a professional baseball player himself, says Bassitt’s ride to the Majors is important to the community. “One of the things that makes it really cool is that nobody gets there alone. There are a lot of people that help along the way with coaching and running you to tournaments. There’s so much community support in places like Genoa because the community wants to see the local kids do well,” said Rightnowar, who pitched for the Milwaukee Brewers. “Chris didn’t forget where he came from. He knows there are a lot of people that supported him with advice and encouragement. With my trip to the big leagues, I knew a lot of people who had helped me. You’re doing it for them as well. “Chris’ success is such a rallying point. It’s why we do all the things to support our community with youth baseball, soccer games and T-ball. It’s what makes coaching little league sports, high school and volunteering at the concession stand worth it. One of those kids might make it. Kids have dreamt about getting to where Chris is. He’s a great guy. He’s easy to root for and comes from a great family. It’s a real blessing. Rightnowar knows Bassitt can hold his own against stiff competition. “He’s a really talented kid. It starts with his gifts. He’s got a wonderful, athletic body and a great right arm. That allows him to compete with the best guys in the world,” said Rightnowar, who led Genoa to a Division III regional title and state final four appearance in 2015. “He worked hard in college and the minor leagues to polish his craft. He has all the ability he needs. He has as much talent or more than (his peers). He’s gifted physically and really tough mentally. Bouncing back from that surgery is no joke. Some guys never make it back.”

Mike Lee excited about the possibilities at Gibsonburg By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com A new coach and a new conference present new challenges for the Gibsonburg Golden Bears. Mike Lee has taken over the football program following Steve Reser’s departure and the club will be competing in the Sandusky Bay Conference’s River Division. Reser returned to his alma mater, Tiffin Calvert, where his team will be one of Gibsonburg’s divisional opponents. Based on Lee’s track record and Gibsonburg’s success in recent years, his team appears to have what it takes to get back to the playoffs and compete for a league championship from the get-go. “I had heard from some people that the possibility of Steve moving on could happen and they told me that I needed to inquire,” Lee said. “I told them I would check into it and one thing turned into another. It’s going to be good for Steve. He lives in Tiffin and is a Mike Lee Calvert graduate.” The last three seasons have seen the Bears accumulate a 27-6 record and get to the playoffs three times while winning two Toledo Area Athletic Conference titles. Last year, Gibsonburg went 9-2, which followed a three-year record of 27-5. That was the beginning of the ascension of the program, which went 14-16 in the previous three seasons and followed an 0-10 campaign in 2010 in the Bears’ final year in the Suburban Lakes League. Lee is best known to the area for the tremendous success he had coaching Woodmore from 1992-97. While with the Wildcats, Lee’s teams went 49-17, qualified for the playoffs four times, including advancing to the regional finals twice, and

Coach Mike Lee with players while coaching at Clay. (Press file photo by Scott Grau) won three SLL titles. He was also the head coach at Clay from 2013-16, was previously an assistant coach at Fostoria for eight years and Fostoria St. Wendelin for 11 years and then coached in Florida before moving back to Ohio to take the job in Oregon. Last year, Lee went back to his old stomping grounds and coached as an assistant with his best friend, Lou Bosh, at Woodmore. “I enjoyed every minute of it, working with Lou. He’s a tremendous leader and a good friend. He (took over) late and was starting in fresh. He was struggling to get things rolling, plus we didn’t have many seniors, and you’re the small team in that big league,” Lee said.

“We coached at Clay, and we were used to being the small team. It’s very difficult with Woodmore playing the Eastwoods and Otsegos. Those teams are very established.” According to Lee, things are already starting out well, both in the weight room and in 7-on-7s, where they’ve competed against Patrick Henry and Eastwood thus far. “We’ve been weightlifting all summer, that’s all been good. These are the best percentages I’ve had in a long time. I would say it’s been better than 80 percent every single day,” he said. “I’m very, very happy with that. I’m very impressed with the young men and they’re work habits. I think I’ve met every kid so far.”

This year, the Bears’ non-conference slate will feature old SLL foes in Elmwood and Woodmore as well as non-league opponent Mohawk. The league schedule includes Calvert, Danbury, Lakota, Sandusky St. Mary, Margaretta, Fremont St. Joseph and Willard. “With the new league, it will present some new challenges. That’s what I’ve been talking to the kids about. That’s our challenge. We’ve got to raise (our level of play) a few notches,” Lee said. The new-look SBC has New Riegel and Old Fort in the River Division, the small school division, for all sports except football. Margaretta and Willard will move up to the Bay Division for all other sports. The Bay Division, which is filled with medium-sized schools, includes Shelby, Edison, Huron, Oak Harbor, Port Clinton and Vermilion for football. Shelby competes in the Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference in all other sports and will be leaving the SBC in football next year. The big-school division, the Lake, includes Bellevue, Clyde, Norwalk, Perkins, Sandusky and Tiffin Columbian. As for the TAAC, it currently has six full-time members — Cardinal Stritch, Emmanuel Christian, Maumee Valley, Northwood, Ottawa Hills and Toledo Christian — and four more schools that are in the league for just football — Edon, Hilltop, Montpelier and Stryker. Emmanuel Christian and Maumee Valley do not have football programs.

Lacrosse camp Clay High School and Black Swamp Lacrosse coaches will provide instruction at a youth camp July 24-25 at Clay Memorial Stadium. Registration fee is $50 and is open to boys and girls in grades 3-8 with two sessions for different age groups (grades 3-6, 9-10:30 a.m.; grades 7-8, 10:30 a.m.-noon). Prior knowledge of lacrosse is not necessary. Email boys varsity coach Joe Kiss at jkiss@oregoncs.org or follow on Twitter using @Clay_MLAX or @ ClayLaxGirls.

Coach hopes life lessons will jump start Waite First-year Waite football coach Brian Lee Jr. has every intention of teaching his players about more than just football. Lee, who replaced Kirk Heidelberg as the Indians’ coach, said he had to learn about life the hard way as a youth, and now he wants to help his players make better choices than he did. “When I was in school I didn’t have anyone to really relate to me on a manto-man, this-is-how-life-is-like level,” Lee said. “I didn’t have anyone to fill those roles for me. When I went to college, I was immature. More than half of my (players) come from single-parent homes. Being in their life, showing them a young man who came from the same environment, if I do something positive, you can do something positive. The sky’s the limit. “I have 10 seniors and my goal is that all 10 of them have good jobs outside of football. These kids need to know what you do if you lose your mom and dad and you have to take care of your little brother. I’m a life coach and football is a bonus. To give these kids what they need to know in dayto-day life, that’s me.” Lee, 24, graduated from Start High School in 2012 and played inside linebacker for one year at Siena Heights University. He tried playing at the University of Toledo as a preferred walk-on, “but things didn’t work out there.” “I tried out for Winnipeg (in the CFL)

and I got good reviews,” Lee said. “They sent me to an Arena League team out of Pennsylvania and I played there two seasons (2015 and ‘16).” Lee, a third-team Division I All-Ohio linebacker as a senior at Start, was also on the Spartans’ staff for three years, including two seasons as a varsity assistant. He played football and basketball and ran track at Start. “I’m an outgoing guy and I love people,” he said. “I’m one of those people where if you’re in a quiet room, it won’t be quiet for long. I love leaving a good impression on people. I want everybody to live life by the moment, and I’m an energetic guy. I have two boys (Khyree, 1, and Carter, four months) and they are the love of my life.” Waite Athletic Director Chris Lorton said about 10 people interviewed for the

coaching position and she brought back a handful of candidates for second interviews. She said Lee was chosen “because of his energy level and the community involvement he has.” “He has ideas for the future and he has a knowledge of the game,” Lorton said. “He knows academics come first and football is secondary.” Waite finished 3-7 last season, winning its last three games against City League foes Scott, Bowsher and Rogers. Lee said this year’s team should be loaded with juniors and the Indians “can compete for a City championship now.” “I don’t see a rebuilding phase,” Lee said. “This is not a rebuilding year. I feel like with the talent and skill set and hunger and desire of this group, we can compete for a City championship this year.” Lee said he’s done his homework on the history of Waite football. “I know they haven’t won any (league titles) since 1963,” he said. “I know they have the best stadium in northwest Ohio. This side of town has been disrespected when it comes to football, but this is where all the legends come from. My goal is to make our superintendent (Romules Durant) bring the City trophy to our stadium.” The Indians kick off the season Aug. 23 at Northview. Lee said their first official practice is Aug. 1. “I’m very excited,” he said. “We’re going to have a big number of kids out this year. The group we have coming back is really hungry. They have the talent and morale and they’re ready.”

‘Super Hens’ to the rescue Evil is invading Fifth Third Field, and the Toledo Mud Hens will transform into “Super Hens” in their quest to make the playoffs during Superhero Night on Aug. 3. The Mud Hens recently unveiled the theme night jerseys to be worn by players and coaches during their game against Indianapolis, which were designed by Mud Hens Graphic Designer Will Mellon. The jerseys represent a unique spin on the popular superhero concept, with feathers featured with the Mud Hens’ alternate M-H logo. The Mud Hens urge all fans coming to the Aug. 3 game to dress as their favorite superhero or be their own superhero for the evening and help cheer the Mud Hens onto victory. The “Super Hens” game-worn jerseys will be sold during the game through a silent auction with proceeds to benefit Helping Hens Charities.

Oregon Clay summer wrestlers claim Disney Duals title By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com In case anyone was wondering if the guys in Clay coach Ralph Cubberly’s wrestling program were staying busy this summer, the Eagles answered that question last month. Cubberly took three Oregon Clay summer teams, consisting of 50 wrestlers, to the 2018 AAU Wrestling Scholastic Duals on June 23-28 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. The Clay Gold team competed in the Community I division, and the Clay Green and Clay Black teams competed in the Community II division. The Community I division was for schools with an enrollment of 1,000 or more students, and the Community II division was for schools with an enrollment of

999 students and under. Clay Gold won the Community I title, while the Clay Green finished ninth out of 48 teams. The Clay Black squad did not place in the tournament. Cubberly, meanwhile, was named the AAU National Wrestling Committee Coach of the Year. “I believe you get that honor based on the achievements your program has had throughout that year,” Cubberly said. “Winning that award was very surreal, in that I believe it takes more than just one coach to do the things we do in this program. This award is a testament to the things the entire wrestling staff at Clay High School does to help our athletes attain their goals. “Our wrestlers put in a great amount of time and effort to train for this event. Because of their training they achieved very lofty goals, both individually and as a team.”

REASONS WHY THE PRESS IS AN INTELLIGENT ADVERTISING DECISION:

Five Clay wrestlers went undefeated and earned gold medals at the Disney Duals. Jacob Moon, competing at 106 pounds, went 10-0 for the Clay Gold and was named the outstanding wrestler of the tournament. Teammate Garret Anderson went 10-0 at 145 pounds, Nick Daly went 10-0 at 285 and Gilberto Deluna, who wrestled exhibition matches, went 10-0 at 106. Tyler Weseman won all nine of his matches at 138 pounds for the Green team. “Jacob is a dominating wrestler who was a great spark at the beginning of the dual match,” Cubberly said. “Garret is a captain and senior leader and was very consistent. We could always count on him to win. We could always rely on Nick at the end of the dual meet for a huge win at heavyweight, and Tyler is an outstanding incoming freshman prospect who made the most of this opportunity.”

Also competing for the Clay Gold team were Gavin Ritter at 113 pounds, Jake Canitano (120), Mike Daly (126), Alex Szigeti (138), Kyle Miller (160), Gibsonburg’s Brad Mendoza (170), Josh Nagy (182), Jacob Meek (195) and Lyle Campbell (220). Canitano attends Solon High School and Ritter is from Wauseon. Tyler Cobb, at 195 pounds, and Drew Krall at 220 both earned silver medals for the Green team. The other Green team wrestlers included Tony Pendergrapff at 106, Seth Meinke (126), Kam Miller (145), Brady Jaso (160) and Tyler Escher (182). Black team members Issac Severa and Mike Nottage both went 7-2 at 113 and 285 pounds, respectively. “This group of kids believed in their training and coaching and it led to a Disney Duals championship,” Cubberly said. “This was the first time Clay has won this event, and the kids should be proud of their effort.”

FirstEnergy has a buyer By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

Trails for Elmoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riverbend Park discussed By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A motion to suspend the mowing of grass next year on a portion of Riverbend Park in Elmore and to develop walking trails is expected to be on the agenda of next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting of village council, Rick Claar, council president, said. The proposal was discussed during a recent meeting of councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee of the whole, Claar said, and members of the planning and environment, properties committee offered to introduce a motion during councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular meeting on July 23, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically, council is looking at ways for our residents to enjoy nature,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trails would be open to anyone who likes to walk or bike.â&#x20AC;? The park sits along W. Portage River South Road near the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wastewater treatment plant. Under the proposal, roughly half of the park wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be mowed starting next year except for where trails would be located. Claar said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in contact with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for information about how the area could be planted with wildďŹ&#x201A;owers and other types of vegetation that attract birds and wildlife. He is also exploring the availability of grants for the project. A gravel drive divides the park area. The village would continue to maintain one side where there is already a parking lot and playground equipment, he said. Trees were planted about 20 years ago along the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perimeter. Canoe and kayak enthusiasts access the Portage River at a launch where the park and river meet. Claar said the park is also popular with dog owners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending roughly three to ďŹ ve hours mowing it, which is a cost,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The committee came up with a plan to let it go and maybe next year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ďŹ gure out how to best seed it and let it develop as a grasslands area with trails. People can walk their dogs. There will still be another three or four acres that would be maintained. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not proposing to take the whole park for this.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Matt Damschroder said he was opposed to letting the park lawn grow into a grassland. He said he feared it would fear it would become a breeding area for ticks and mosquitoes. It also sends the wrong message to village residents who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mow their lawns in accordance with village regulations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ďŹ ghting people in town not cutting their grass, which is required by ordinance,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now council wants to take one of our parks used by people who have dogs and stop mowing it.â&#x20AC;?

The

Exelon Corp., in a July 9 ďŹ ling with the Securities Exchange Commission, has informed the commission it has entered into an agreement to purchase the power business of FirstEnergy Solutions for $140 million. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018 but is conditional on Exelon being the winning bidder after a bankruptcy auction and the subsequent approval of the purchase agreement by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio. Exelon or FirstEnergy Solutions may terminate the agreement if the sale hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been completed by Dec. 31, according to the ďŹ ling. Under the agreement, Exelon Generation Co. will purchase FirstEnergy Solutionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; retail electricity and wholesale load serving contracts and â&#x20AC;&#x153;certain other related commodity contracts.â&#x20AC;? In March, FirstEnergy Corp. announced it was moving forward with its plan to exit the competitive generation business and become a fully regulated utility. Its subsidiary, FirstEnergy Solutions and its subsidiaries and FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Co., voluntarily ďŹ led for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 in March. Charles Jones, president and chief executive ofďŹ cer of FirstEnergy, noted at the time that FirstEnergy and its other subsidiaries were not part of the bankruptcy ďŹ ling. Many operators of coal and nuclear plants havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to compete against less expensive power generated by natural gas as well as renewable sources. Throughout the sale process, FirstEnergy Solutions will continue to supply service to customers without interruption, said Kevin Warvell, vice president and chief ďŹ nancial ofďŹ cer of FES. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If approved, we will work with (Excelon subsidiary) Constellation to ensure the transition of customer accounts is seamless. During the sale process, our daily operations will continue as usual, and we will continue to provide our customers with the uninterrupted service they demand. Taking care of customers is and will remain our number one priority,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mark Huston, president of Constellationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Retail Business, said the agreement would provide his company a chance to grow in attractive markets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;FirstEnergy Solutions has a reputation for delivering value to customers, and our combined business would continue that tradition with a broad array of energy products and services at competitive prices,â&#x20AC;? he said. Exelonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six utilities deliver electricity and natural gas to approximately 10 million customers in Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania through its Atlantic City Electric, BGE, ComEd, Delmarva Power, PECO and Pepco subsidiaries.
