Plan commission

Permit issued for Navarre 2-family residences The Oregon Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit that will allow for the construction of two-family residences at 3015 Navarre Avenue. The property is in an R-2 Medium Density Residential Zoned District. The property is located at the end of Luverne Avenue. Don J. Baumgartner was the applicant for the Conditional Use Permit. The owner wants to split a portion of the land into three different parcels, leaving a remaining fourth parcel to the north. Plans call for the construction of three buildings with two-story, two-family units. To the east is multi-family, to the west is single family, and to the south is commercial property. The units are to be for sale or for rent, according to Doug Baumgartner, who represented the applicant. Rick Orovitz, a member of the Planning Commission, said the property abuts a very small cul-de-sac and he didn’t see where it provides for off street parking for four vehicles, excluding the garage and driveway.

“

The street was not designed to handle the density of traffic that will be generated by six new families that will move into the three units.

Baumgartner stated the houses have 24-foot wide driveways and the houses can be moved further back on the parcels if need be. James Gilmore, commissioner of building and zoning, said two foot buffers would have to be in ownership of the applicant because the lots needed frontage in order to split the lots. Public Service Director Paul Roman said the parking might be very tight, and the buildings will have to be further back.

Opposition Several people living near the site expressed their opposition to the request for the Conditional Use Permit. Guy L. Parmigian wrote a letter to the commission stating his opposition. The parcel is situated in an R-2 Medium Density Residential Area meant for single family dwellings per city ordinance, stated Parmigian. “I request that you uphold the single family dwelling requirement, and not grant a conditional use,” he said. He is the owner of property on Luverne Avenue that is adjacent to one of the parcels that was under consideration for the conditional permit application. “I assert that the conditional use permit will have a detrimental effect on the character, value and development of the adjacent area,” he stated. The proposed two family residences “will not be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity,” he stated. “While the address is 3015 Navarre Avenue, its impact will be on Luverne Continued on page 2

By Press Staff Writer A former Genoa police officer has pled not guilty to counts of sexual battery, disseminating matter harmful to juveniles and contributing to the unruliness or delinquency of a child. Benjamin Jacks, 23, of Millbury, entered the plea Tuesday in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court, after being indicted by a county grand jury in March. The disseminating matter and contributing charges are first degree misdemeanor offenses and the sexual battery charge is a third degree felony. According to a preliminary report by the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office, an investigation began in February at the request of Genoa police chief Brad Weis. The chief told the sheriff another officer had told him two managers at the McDonalds restaurant in Genoa were alleging Jacks was having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old juvenile. The alleged contributing and disseminating offenses occurred from November through December 2017, according to the indictment. The sexual battery charge alleges Jacks engaged in sexual conduct on or about Dec. 9. Jacks has resigned from the police department. Pre-trial hearings are scheduled for April 30 and June 13. A trial has been scheduled for June 19. Jacks was released on a bond of $10,000, which requires him to undergo drug/alcohol testing and restricts him to his residence between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. He is also required to wear a global positioning system monitor. According to the Ohio Revised Code section covering sexual battery, a peace officer is prohibited from engaging in sexual conduct with a minor who is not a spouse and the offender is more than two years older than the other person. The arrest warrant listed a Stafford, Va. address for Jacks but he waived extradition. Terry Dunn, a Port Clinton attorney, was appointed to represent Jacks.

Permit issued for 2-family residences on Navarre

“

Continued from front page

I purchased my home with hard earned funds in this very nice area because it was in an area of single family dwellings only.

“

Avenue. Luverne Avenue and its environs have been developed, to the vast extent, with single family dwellings. I purchased my home with hard earned funds in this very nice area because it was in an area of single family dwellings only,” he stated. In addition, Parmigian stated that the conditional permitting of three different two family residences will not be adequately served by the street, which is a cul-desac. “The street was not designed to handle the density of traffic that will be generated by six new families that will move into the three units. Today’s busy families will bring with it two to three additional vehicles, not to mention visitors.” The units, he added, will create more traffic and noise that would be detrimental to the area compared to three new single family homes. Another reason he is opposed, he added, is that a portion of one of the lots may be considered a wetlands. “Wetlands are defined by the U.S. EPA as areas where water covers the soil, or is present either at or near the surface of the soil all year or for varying periods of time during the year, including during the growing season.” Parmigian stated that water has been present on the lot for the majority of the

year. “Further investigation is warranted on this wetlands issue before this permit should be considered by the Planning Commission,” stated Parmigian. Pat Miller, of Starr Avenue, said pictures of the proposed homes were aesthetically pleasing, but wanted to know if the applicant could make changes. Rick Orovitz, a member of the Planning Commission, said designs could change, but they still would have to meet codes and regulations of the city and state.

Mayor Mike Seferian, a member of the Planning Commission, said the commission has the authority to put conditions on the Conditional Use Permit. He said he asked the owner if he ever planned to change the design of the building, would he agree to come back to the commission. The owner agreed, said Seferian. Steve Alexander, Lawson Street, expressed concerns for children in the neighborhood due to increased traffic caused by the new building. Becky Woldt, of Luverne Avenue, said homes built at the end of the cul-desac should be single family like the rest of the neighborhood. She was also concerned with increased traffic, snow removal, and trash and recycling pickup. Justin Woldt, of Luverne Avenue, asked what the city’s motivation was to have the permit approved. Seferian said the city looks at the best use for a parcel of land. The parcels the commission was reviewing were never developed as a single family dwelling. The property abuts an apartment complex/commercial development. Usually, under such circumstances, there is R-3 or some type of multi-family dwellings that act as a buffer between the commercial and residential neighborhoods. Single family dwellings aren’t as accepted as a

buffer between the residential and commercial neighborhoods, according to Seferian. He said he considered the request of a Conditional Use Permit the most appropriate use for the property. Gilmore said the Project Review Committee had no objections to the request for the Conditional Use Permit. Seferian closed the hearing, and moved to approve the request with the condition the buildings substantially meet the design and site plan that was submitted. If it is altered in the future, the owner will have to come back before the Planning Commission to get it approved. Besides Seferian, commission members Greg Vriezelaar, Yussef Olive, and Chairman Scott Winckowski voted in favor of the permit. Orovitz was opposed. After the meeting, Gilmore told The Press that a cul-de-sac was placed at the end of Luverne years ago when the subdivision was developed. “At the time, the developer didn’t own those lots,” explained Gilmore. “So these parcels weren’t developed or put in the platt. So now they want to put three lots in there. The owner claims, because the parcels abut commercial property, that a single family would not be a good choice there. They claim a two family would be more appropriate and bring down the cost.”

Planning Commission denies request for permit By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Oregon Planning Commission recently voted down a request for a Conditional Use Permit that would have allowed a two family dwelling unit at 2831 Starr Avenue. The property had been approved in 1958 through the Planning Commission to have two living units there. But the units were to be used for family members. If the property were to be sold, it was to be as a single family residence. The only way to change it would be to ask the Planning Commission for a Conditional Use in an R-2 Zone, according to James Gilmore, commissioner of Building and Zoning. The zoning code states if the owner met certain provisions, a Conditional Use would be considered to allow a two family in a single family medium density area, explained Gilmore. Some of those provisions that must be met are minimum lot size, four car parking per building, two car garage indoor parking, and screening because it is

next to a single family residential district. Gilmore said he did not know if there were plans to alter the property. He said it wasn’t a rental unit. If there were two different families living there, the city would have to make sure there was separation between the units according to the building code. He said if the building became a duplex, the city would conduct a full inspection. The first step, though, was to determine if the zoning was appropriate for that particular use. The applicant would then be required to ask for a Certificate of Occupancy for two families. The next step would be for the city to make an inspection to ensure it meets the minimum standards for separation and for the occupants to exit the building. James Duran, the applicant for the Conditional Use Permit, said he bought the property a few months ago. Parking Planning Commission member Rick Orovitz said one stipulation for a duplex is to provide off street parking for four vehi-

cles, excluding the garage and the driveway. Orovitz said it looked like the blacktop area facing the backyard would have to be expanded considerably to get four vehicles back there and to get in and out of the garage. Orovitz asked Duran if that was part of his plan. Duran said it was not and that he thought there was plenty of room for parking. Some residents who live in the area were opposed to granting the Conditional Use Permit. Attorney Mary Bollinger, who said she was representing a client who lives on property immediately to the east of the Starr Avenue site, said they were concerned about parking issues due to the fact their driveway is conjoined with the property’s driveway. They were also concerned about the turnover of residents. Pat Miller, Starr Avenue, expressed concerns that tenants tend to not take care of property as property owners do. The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to deny the Conditional Use Permit request.

Conditions not met Gilmore after the meeting told The Press that the house was built on property with a single family zoning designation. It was later altered to allow two living units as long as it was for a family member and was not rented out. “It was like a mother-in-law suite,” he said. “In an R-2 zone, it’s perfectly ok to have a two family unit with a conditional use permit. We allow it there and in R-3 multi-family zoning. But there are plenty of duplexes, or two family units, around. With conditional use, there must be so many parking spots and other conditions that should go along with that. The owner didn’t meet some of those conditions, That’s the reason it was turned down, I believe.” The conjoined driveway was also a potential source of conflict, he added. “It’s a very dense residential area, as far as Oregon goes. There were questions about the conjoined driveway, which can cause problems. When you have two different families sharing a driveway, it can create conflicts. Someone parks on the driveway and the other family can’t get through,” said Gilmore.

Lake Twp. reckless homicide conviction upheld By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals has upheld the conviction of a man found guilty in 2017 of reckless homicide after a fight at the Country Ridge Lounge in Lake Township. The appeals court ruled the Wood County Common Pleas Court complied with felony sentencing statutes when it sentenced Kevin W. Knott, Norwalk, O., to a maximum 36-month prison term. Knott, who was 52 when arrested, pled guilty to the charge after a felonious assault charge was dismissed. His appeal was filed by his appointed attorney who also requested to withdraw from the case. The appeal merely stated the sentence was “contrary to law.”

However, the appeals court ruled otherwise. “In sentencing appellant (Knott), the trial court stated that it considered the presentence investigation report prepared in the case, the statements provided to the court, the sentencing memoranda, and appelant’s criminal history,” the appeals court wrote. “The court then indicated that it considered the purposes of sentencing under (Ohio Revised Code), as well as the seriousness and recidivism factors. In imposing the maximum sentence, the court specifically referenced appellant’s prior criminal history and pattern of alcohol abuse, including the role alcohol played in the offense.” According to Lake Township police reports, the fight occurred Jan. 7, 2016 after a verbal altercation. Knott’s son, Kevin, then 26, was also

charged. Police were dispatched to the lounge about 11:30 p.m. on a report of a fight in progress. Officers found Elwood Lock, Jr., 39, Lorain, O., and another man in need of medical attention. Lock died a few days later in St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center. He had suffered head injuries after hitting his head on a concrete patio, according to court records. The elder Knott was apprehended without incident about 25 minutes later while walking along Latcha Road, about a quarter mile from the lounge. His son was also arrested without incident about 1 ½ hours later at the Petro Truckstop. Mark Hummer, township police chief, said at the time there were outstanding warrants for the younger Knott from other jurisdictions.

Waite graduate leads Ohio State to 31st national title Ohio State repeated as national champions Saturday as the U.S. Collegiate National Championships came to a close and the U.S. Senior National Championships began. OSU won its 31st overall national synchronized swimming championship with 96 points. Stanford finished second with 90 followed by third-place Lindenwood at 72. Waite graduate Holly Vargo-Brown is in her fourth season as head coach of the Ohio State synchronized swimming program. She is just the third coach in the program’s 36-year history. “I have such great respect for the strong tradition of excellence established within this program by former head coaches Mary Jo Ruggieri and Linda Lichter-Witter,” Vargo-Brown said. “I am honored to accept the responsibility of leading the next generation of Buckeye synchronized swimmers and remain incredibly grateful for the opportunity Gene Smith and the Ohio State Athletics Department have provided me.” T.J. Shelton, associate athletic director for sports administration, said, “As a former student-athlete with 25 years of experience serving as assistant, associate and interim head coach for the Buckeyes throughout that time span, Holly is extremely prepared to take on the leadership role.

Hough Theatre, historic park building get renovations By Ashley Brugnone CMP Writer celder@thecmp.org Considered one of the most exciting projects on base, the Hough Theatre at Camp Perry has received upgrades to entranceways, restrooms, seating, lighting and the interior as a whole – totaling $1.3 million. Some of the stage is being improved upon as well, including the orchestra pit, and existing offices and classrooms backstage will be updated, with the hopes of being utilized in the future. “We have worked heavily with the

state historical and preservation society to ensure that we have the historical feel to the auditorium itself, but with modern comforts,” said MAJ Yates. The original theatre seats were completely gutted from the building. The new seating will have the effect of the historical seating, but with more padding and comfort – designed for the modern world. The famous mural cascading across the walls around the theatre will remain intact, with much of the interior upgraded or kept as-is. “It’s an amazing facility, and to bring it up to where it deserves to be is fantastic,” said MAJ Yates.

The Hough Theatre is an important landmark in the history of Camp Perry. Originally the second brick facility built on the post, the inside has seen many distinguished guests during its century-old reign, including countless military and civilian heroes like General John Pershing after World War I and Bob Hope. The new entranceway of the theatre will throw homage to its incredible history, displaying true photos and artifacts for guests to enjoy. With a projected completion date slotted for the spring, the building will be ready in time for the National Matches ceremonies. “This has been many years in the coming, and I’m really excited to see what this is

going to look like,” said MAJ Yates. Reconstruction to Bldg 2009 Camp Perry’s Bldg 2009, the long, large building before the historical park when entering base to the north, has undergone an exterior renovation for $640,000. First constructed in 1903, a new roof, exterior doors and windows have all been installed on the building.

Genoa-Clay Center Rd.

Speed limit change clearer? By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Local officials are hoping a change to the speed limit along a stretch of Genoa-Clay Center Road in Ottawa County will reduce confusion for motorists. Ron Lajti, Ottawa County engineer, said his office conducted a traffic study on the road after receiving complaints from residents about speeding motorists between State Route 51 and Hellwig Road. Also, that stretch of the road had different speed limits for the two lanes, which are under the separate jurisdictions of the Village of Genoa and Ottawa County – the village controlling the western lane and the county controlling the east. “It was 35 (mph) heading south within the village limits, but it was 55 heading north outside of the village limits,” Lajti said by email. “Unfortunately this issue exists in a few locations throughout the county and can be a bit of a pain for law enforcement to control, while being …confusing for

motorists.” To remedy the problem, the engineer’s office met with the county commissioners, the village mayor and administrator who all supported the traffic study. Results of the study were sent to the Ohio Department of Transportation, which approved the request for a uniform 45 mph limit. Lajti said signs with the new limit were erected in February after village council and the commissioners passed resolutions approving the change. ODOT then journalized the 45 mph limit. One resident, who asked not to be identified, said she’s seen several northbound motorists who appear to be sticking to the 55 mph limit. Terry Mitchell, Clay Township police chief, said his department hasn’t yet issued any citations for speeding along the mile or so stretch. “It’s going to take time for people to get used to it. We’ll give them time to adjust. But it is pretty well marked. They put speed limit ahead signs up,” he said Tuesday.

New indictments issued by Ottawa Co. Grand Jury After a recent session, the Ottawa County Grand Jury returned indictments against the following individuals, according to Prosecuting Attorney James VanEerten: • Bryant Boyd, who is currently incarcerated in the Lebanon Correctional Facility, and Corwin Qualls, who is being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, have both been indicted on multiple felony counts, including Engaging in a Pattern of Corrupt Activity. The two are accused of engaging in a conspiracy that involved the distribution of illegal drugs in Northwest Ohio. The Ottawa County Drug Task Force is continuing to investigate the matter, and additional charges may be forthcoming. • Lincoln Irwin, whose last known address is Toledo, has been charged with one count each of Passing Bad Checks, Forgery

and Theft after he allegedly cashed a counterfeit check in Millbury last month. • Jordan Wadsworth and Joseph Wadsworth, whose last known address is Gill Road, Port Clinton, have each been indicted on counts of Complicity to Burglary and Complicity to Theft. According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office reports, the two entered a Portage Township residence in February. Joseph Wadsworth is facing an additional felony count of Possession of Criminal Tools in connection with the incident. • David Romero, who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, has been indicted on more than 50 felony counts of Forgery and Identity Fraud, along with one count of Engaging in a Pattern of Corrupt Activity. According to Ohio State Highway Patrol reports, Romero was stopped for a traffic violation last

month and found in possession of driver’s licenses from more than two dozen states, as well as more than 30 credit cards in different names. • Keeven Lee Skelton, who is also being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, was indicted on one count each of Complicity to Robbery and Complicity to Theft, both felonies, after he and a juvenile allegedly took money from a victim in Oak Harbor last month. • Pamela J. Park, who is also being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, has been charged with one count of Domestic Violence. She is also accused of causing or attempting to cause physical harm to a family or household member earlier this month. The charge is a felony of the fourth degree, citing Park’s prior domestic violence conviction. • Aaron J. Bogard, of Oak Harbor, was

charged with two counts of Possession of Drugs after he was reportedly found in possession of suboxone and marijuana during a traffic stop in Oak Harbor last month. • Travis Tullis, of Oak Harbor, has been charged with misdemeanor counts of Theft, Criminal Trespass, Possession of Drug Abuse Instruments, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, along with one felony count of Possession of Drugs after Oak Harbor Police officers reportedly found him in possession of methamphetamine in October. A summons has been issued for Bogard to make his initial appearance in the Ottawa County Court of Common Pleas on April 19. Warrants were issued for all other defendants. An indictment is merely a formal charge in the Common Pleas Court and does not denote guilt or innocence, VanEerten noted.

Seemingly endless winter tested Matt Reese’s patience Brrrrrr! I consider myself a fairly cold tolerant person. I spend my early winters outside for many hours a day in the Christmas tree fields in all kinds of weather. I grow facial hair. I wear flannel, stocking caps and coveralls. I cut many cords of firewood and I really do truly enjoy winter, snow and cold weather. I handled (and even enjoyed) winter’s worst this season, but these chilly March winds and damp conditions make me yearn for warmer spring days ahead. It seems as March wears on each year, I am ready for spring to arrive just a little sooner. My daughter and I were discussing the continually unpleasant weather in early March. I passed along some sage wisdom from my youth: “They always used to say if March came in like a lion it would go out like a lamb.â€? But after multiple appearances of the early March lion, my daughter and I were still eagerly waiting on the late March lamb. I know we are not the only ones ready for spring. Enduring a seemingly endless March is longstanding Midwestern tradition. Here are some other March weather insights from year’s gone by from the Farmers’ Almanac to take note of as we head into spring: • A dry March and a wet May? Fill barns and bays with corn and hay. • As it rains in March, so it rains in June. • March winds and April showers? Bring forth May flowers. • So many mists in March you see, so many frosts in May will be. • Is’t on St. Joseph’s day (19th) clear, So follows a fertile year; Is’t on St. Mary’s (25th) bright and clear, Fertile is said to be the year. In a recent podcast, my co-worker Joel Penhorwood shared the “The 11 seasons of Midwestern statesâ€? that he’d found online that may be more accurate for the Ohio weather we have been seeing in recent years. Here are the 11 seasons one can expect in Ohio: Winter, Fool’s Spring, Second Winter, Spring of Deception, Third Winter, Mud

Fresh Country Air

by Matt Reese

The Farmer's Almanac says a wet March means a wet May. We'll see if that comes true, says Ohio Country Journal editor Matt Reese. (Photo Metro Creative Graphics) Season, Actual Spring, Summer, False Fall, Second Summer (1 week), and Actual Fall. In the estimation of our podcast group consisting of myself, Dale Minyo, Ty Higgins and Joel, we had Fool’s Spring back in February, which was followed by a fairly definitive Second Winter through early March. The wonderful sunshine and temperatures in the 50s for the Spring of Deception took place mid-month (and to me this also always seems to coincide with some of the best of March Madness basketball watching). As I write this, temperatures have plummeted back into the 30s and there is a miserable mix of freezing rain and a bone-chilling breeze for a truly awful Third Winter, setting us up for yet another Mud Season. La NiĂąa influence Looking forward, Jim Noel with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Weather Service Ohio River Forecast Center is predicting the coming weeks to be influenced by La NiĂąa. “La NiĂąa, cooling of the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean waters, remains in place and is classified as a weak La NiĂąa.

This means many other things will ultimately impact our weather and climate since it is weak, but it will contribute to our pattern. Indications are this could linger into spring and possibly summer before ending. Regardless of when it ends, it tends to impact weather patterns in the atmosphere longer, sometimes up to three to six months later. So there will be a contribution to our climate pattern into at least the planting season if not growing season,� Noel said in the OSU Extension CORN Newsletter. “December to February will go down as slightly warmer and wetter than normal. Even though we had really cold periods in there, the very warm second half of February wiped all the winter cold away. Snowfall will go down in many areas as not too far from normal, a bit above or below depending on where you live. The main snow message was the snow kept coming and going away during winter.� The cooler weather of March has spilled over into April. “The outlook for April calls for cooler and wetter than normal conditions with the last freeze normal or slightly later than

normal. Expect 4-inch soil temperatures to track normal or slightly behind schedule,â€? Noel said. “After a slightly cooler and wetter spring (delayed planting?), there is growing risk of a turn to hotter and drier, during the summer growing season. However, within that preferred pattern, there is the risk of complexes of storms to provide intense short-term heavy rainfall and floods within a drier than normal pattern. “What this all means is this year the risk will be elevated for extreme weather and climate shifts which challenge outdoor activities such as gardening and farming.â€? The strength and duration of the La NiĂąa will also be worth watching as we move through the growing season. “Research NOAA/NWS/Ohio River Forecast Center has done with Ohio State University and published at the National Weather Association Annual Meeting in 2008 showed La NiĂąa years tend to be some of the most challenging for crops in Ohio,â€? Noel said. “Often times corn and soybean yields end up being at or below trend line. Corn is impacted more than soybeans.â€? As I write this, I only have a few days of firewood left at the house (I do have a couple of truckloads of cut and seasoned wood elsewhere that I was planning on saving for next year). Unless I dip into next year’s supply, it seems that if the cold weather hangs on much longer I’ll have to fire up the propane furnace. I truly love all of Ohio’s 11 seasons — yes, even Mud Season. They each have their own appeal. But, like most of you, I am eagerly awaiting warmer days, planting season and the triumphant arrival of Actual Spring.

Is it time to break out of the ruts in your life? Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

These people do not break their patterns because they refuse to take responsibility for their actions.

“

We all get stuck in certain patterns. We continuously do the same things, which produce the same results. In order to make changes in your life, you have the break the patterns which are keeping you in a rut. Patterns are repeated even when they produce adverse results. There are a number of examples which illustrate this phenomenon. Someone who continually dates one person after another, who has the character traits which cause the same relationship problems, is repeating the same pattern. Another scenario is someone who is constantly in financial trouble because they can’t control their spending. Their credit cards are maxed out as they repeat the pattern of buying more things than they can afford. Patterns occur at work when one employee is always getting into arguments with the other employees. It doesn’t matter what position this person holds, or which employer they are working for; conflict inevitably ensues. Those caught up in recurring patterns predictably make excuses justifying their struggles. They blame other people and circumstances for their predicaments. These people do not break their patterns because they refuse to take responsibility for their actions. Patterns are a trap because they are

comfortable in spite of the negative outcomes generated. They are familiar. You become content with predictable routines. You must leave your comfort zone because breaking patterns frees you to achieve results which have been elusive. Before you begin the process of break-

ing your patterns, you have to decide what kind of changes you really want. For example, do you want to improve your financial situation? Do you want better interpersonal relationships? Perhaps you want to get into better physical shape. These new goals give you direction and focus. In order to break your patterns, you also have to recognize they exist. Denying that you are repeating the same patterns inhibits you from making any positive changes. You are then relegated to attaining the same negative results, over and over. You must identify the cause and effect of each pattern; what actions are you taking which keep producing the results you want to change. This is the specific behavior which requires alteration. Doing the same thing repeatedly, and yet expecting different results, is an exercise in futility. Purge any excuses you have been making as to why you can’t make changes. Don’t blame other people or circumstances. Don’t blame the past. Excuses keep you anchored to your current situations. Reasons to change set you free. Changing patterns requires a shift in your mental outlook. You need a strong desire to attain different results. Your motivation must be internal, rather than in response to pressure imposed on you by other people. Breaking each pattern occurs one step

at a time. Begin by eliminating just a single behavior which is producing undesirable results. Follow that one with another. Each abolished negative action should then be replaced with a positive one. Think before you act. Ask yourself whether you are about to repeat the same behavior which has previously produced undesirable results. If the answer is yes, stop whatever you are about to do. Either take no action, or do something designed to bring you more positive results. For long term changes you must alter your mindset, which creates the adverse behavior patterns. This process enables you to build new patterns, which lead to favorable outcomes. Reinforce your new outlook with a clear understanding of all the benefits which will accrue from your fresh approach. Breaking your patterns is doable. Put in the time and effort necessary to facilitate the necessary changes. You will be happy with the results. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Limited funds for agriculture slows Lake Erie efforts By Mike Libben At the recent Lake Erie Farm Forum in Oak Harbor, State Senator Randy Gardner and Representative Steve Arndt introduced the concept of the Clean Lake 2020 plan. This proposed legislation will help support agricultural best management practices (BMP) and the local Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) that are tasked with assisting farmers with conservation work. It will be introduced to the Ohio legislature as a source of new funding that will be directed at best management practices that have reduced phosphorus runoff. The new bill will be a companion piece to recent legislation that has set agriculture restrictions on fertilizer and manure applications, licensing for those who apply nutrients and other regulations against water pollution that have been in effect for years. As district program administrator for the Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District, I am concerned about the financial burden that agriculture is expected to bear. Additional conservation efforts, while needed, can be costly and in many cases result in the difference between making a profit on the farm or not. Cost-share assistance from the government or non-governmental organizations can help make good conservation practices more economical. The vast majority of non-research money that has been spent helping Lake Erie has been directed to waste water treatment plants and not agriculture. Researchers are finding that approximately 85 percent of the phosphorus loading in the Western Lake Erie Basin is com-

Guest Editorial ing from non-point sources like agriculture. This would logically dictate that more assistance should be directed to that area. Manure challenge Livestock producers have the additional challenge of dealing with the manure that is produced. Each farm must be able to account for utilization of manure on their acreage without over applying. The best way to do that is for the farm to develop a Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP). This plan spells out specifically where manure will be applied and at what rate based on a soil test and crop rotation. Along with the CNMP, the Natural Resources Conservation Service and The Ohio State University Extension both have guidelines for manure that producers should follow so as not to over apply. In the past, research has shown that soils could handle higher amounts of manure, which we now know has led to higher phosphorus rates. These guidelines, which have been in place more than 30 years, are being updated. Even though higher rates of manure have been allowed, there are restrictions on manure in place. Once a limit is reached, no more phosphorus (manure) applications can be made to those fields.

Taking action While the legislative efforts will take a while to come to fruition, there are many things farmers can do now to help Lake Erie. While temperatures are still cool, it’s time to start planning for the upcoming planting season. There is still time to GPS soil test your fields and make sure any fertilizer applications are done only if called for.

Election policy The Press encourages responses to articles and opinions. In order to provide for fair comment, The Press will have the following policy covering election letters to the editor: The last issue for letters regarding the May 8 primary election will be the second issue (April 30) before the election. No letters will be published in the issue immediately prior (May 7) to the election except for letters limited to direct rebuttal of election-related matters appearing in the April 30 issue of the paper. No new political information can be introduced in the issue immediately before the election. This is to prevent inaccuracies without a fair chance for correction. Letters are limited to ballot issues. The Press does not print letters about candidates’ races. Letters should be no more than 350 words and include a phone number and address for verification purposes. No anonymous letters will be printed. The deadline is Wednesday, Noon. Send to The Editor, c/o The Press, Box 169, Millbury, OH 43447 or email to news@presspublications.com.

Rely on your agricultural retailer to make the correct rate and avoid applications before rainfall. Local SWCDs and Natural Resource Conservation Service offices do have some cost-share available for grass filter strips, water control structures, and other BMPs. Use the tools that are available and make the most of your effort to help Lake Erie and keep your farm profitable.

Family Published third week of month.

Walbridge man publishes kids’ book illustrated by Lake student By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com There is an old saying, “Behind every great man, there’s a great woman.” For Charles L. Gee, of Walbridge, the woman behind his throne is his wife, Virginia. Because of her penchant for saving his writings decades ago, Gee was able to publish his first children’s book. “I wrote a little something called ‘Lemon Tree Land’ 30 years ago,” Gee said. “Virginia saved hundreds of pages I wrote back then. A year ago, she said to me that she thought ‘Lemon Tree Land’ was a book. I decided to work on it again and it is now a book.” Gee, a retired salesman, has always found writing fun – something to do in his spare time. He and his wife are the parents of seven, and now have a total of 22 grandchildren and great-grandchildren between them. “Writing is fun, but I did not really think I would write a book,” Gee said. “Now, I am hoping to get four books out in the next year.” “Lemon Tree Land,” according to Gee, is about a little boy and a wolf in a mystical land. “Each thinks they are smarter than the other one,” Gee said. “They go back and forth, each one thinking they have upper hand, until the very end. The moral is that you should not believe everything that people say.” A second book, “Tommy and the Nice Old Man,” will be published by the end of April. “It is about a young boy who learns that what his friends and relatives tell him is not necessarily true,” he said. “He discovers on his own that you should not judge people.” A third book, “Love Notes,” will be a book of poetry, he said. A fourth, which is aimed at young girls, will be titled, “Bella Stella.” “That book is about an old man who meets Stella while sitting on a stump in the woods,” Gee explained. “He believes he has wasted his life. Stella shows him how he has not wasted his life.” Gee credits his wife for her R & D (research and development) work. He has also worked with his neighbor, Lisa Swartz, who has acted as his editor and computer guru. Her daughter, Christie, a senior at Lake High School, illustrated the book. “I typed and uploaded images to the computer so they could electronically submit the book to the publisher,” Lisa said. “It was great when we got the proof copy in the mail, I was happy for Chuck, that a dream of his was coming true.” For Christie, she began working on the illustrations as an end of the year art project last year. “This started at the end of my junior year, last year,” she said. “It took a while to do the illustrating. It was fun and interesting. I got to work with Chuck (Gee) to convey his vision for the characters in the book.”

pieces I wrote a long time ago, and have it all published. It was a great experience.” “Lemon Tree Land,” published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, is available for purchase through Amazon.com. Gee is currently working on setting up book signings locally.

Lessening parental worry about the “teen party season” American Counseling Association The end of the school year is fast approaching and for many teens this means a time to party. From graduation parties to just getting together spontaneously, this is the season for teenage parties. But while parties are fun, and while most students have a lot to celebrate, it’s nevertheless important for parents to stay on top of the party season. And with a few simple rules and the right approach, this is relatively easy to accomplish with most teens. The key is not to be a dictator but a negotiator. Make establishing party season rules a cooperative affair with your teen and let him or her offer suggestions and input. Explain that you

want your son or daughter to have a good time but you also want them to be safe and act responsibly. Together, formulate and agree on penalties if rules are broken. One basic rule that shouldn’t be hard to agree on is that you are given the contact info for the parents of the house for any party your teen is attending. When you don’t know the parents, make a quick call to assure that an adult will be present and that no alcohol will be served. Your call can even be phrased as an offer to help, in order not to embarrass your teen. Your teen should also agree that if the party’s location is moved, he or she will give you a call or text and let you know where the new place is. Driving arrangements and restrictions should also be spelled out up front. It’s always forbidden to ride with someone who has been drinking or taking

drugs. Let your teen understand that he or she can call at any time for a ride, or that you’ll cover cab fare home, and that there will be no blame or repercussions. Your teenager should understand that he or she is only responsible for himself or herself. Make it clear that there won’t be punishment just because others get out of control or act irresponsibly. You aren’t trying to be a helicopter parent, controlling everything in your child’s life and ruining his or her fun. What you really want is to ensure that the upcoming party season is safe & enjoyable for your teen, and less a source of worry for you. “Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

Services will remember these youth at its annual memorial Friday, April 27 at 11:30 a.m. at the agency’s offices, 705 Adams St., Toledo. The solemn ceremony will include comments from Judge Connie Zemmelman, Lucas County Juvenile Court, music from the Whitmer High School string quartet and a presentation of colors from the Springfield High School ROTC program. The public is encouraged to attend. In 2017, LCCS received 4,830 referrals for suspected child abuse or neglect. These reports involved 7,387 alleged child victims and led the agency to confirm that 1,597 children were maltreated, up 9 percent from the previous year. Forty-two percent of them were 5 years old or younger. The most referrals (863) came from the 43605 ZIP code, but the highest rate of referrals came from the 43604 ZIP code, where more than 137 of every 1,000 children were the subject of a report of suspected abuse or neglect. Substance abuse was an identified problem for 60 percent of new cases opened for ongoing services in 2017; more than half of those cases involved heroin or opiate abuse. Mental health accounted for 45 percent of cases opened – an 8 percent increase.

Prosecutor’s vision — treat the refugees of the drug war By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com So, you think deaths from traffic accidents are a problem in Ohio? Wood County Prosecutor Paul Dobson says that is a serious issue, but just as bad are accidental overdoses from the use of narcotics. From 2013-15, traffic deaths went from 990 to 1,009 to 1,100. Accidental overdoses went from 2,000 to 2,400 to 3,050 and then over 4,100 in 2016. That is nearly four times the rate of traffic deaths. “I don’t think the typical family is able to look around and not realize that either knowingly or unknowingly they have been touched by addiction,” Dobson said. That includes himself. About 18 months ago, his stepson passed away at age 18 from an accidental overdose. At that time, he was staying with Dobson and his mother and had been going through recovery from almost 18 months. That experience, and what he witnesses as a prosecutor, made him think. Instead of prosecuting addicts, let’s get them treatment — an age-old theory that Wood County employs. But, he wanted more tools to do so. Dobson initiated the Addiction Response Collaborative in November 2017, which is run by coordinator Belinda Brooks, who is also a parent who has seen addiction in her family. Dobson remains on as the director of the program. Dobson’s logic — let’s go after the dealers and pushers, and treat the addicts, many of whom are just trying to self-medicate. He has a strategy that covers both ends of the spectrum. “The real thing that we can’t lose sight of in all of this conversation is that there is an industry out there. I’m not even talking about the prescription drug industry,” Dobson said. “I’m talking about an illegal industry that hates what we are doing here today and they are trying to expand their arm. And, we’re not in competition with that industry. We’re at war with that industry.

“And, I know I limit the analogy of a ‘war’ because the one thing I get concerned about when we talk about a war on drugs, or a war on this industry is that people tend to think a war is going to last for a certain amount of time and then it will be over. That’s why we’ve heard in the past, ‘Well, the war on drugs has failed because we ended up in a situation where there is no more drugs’ because that is not realistic. But the analogy, for me, is appropriate because to me there are three things that you do in a war,” Dobson continued. At a forum held in Pemberville earlier this year, the prosecutor unleashed his “combat strategy,” led by Wood County Chief Deputy Sheriff Eric Reynolds. He concludes by referring to addicts as “refugees” who are often left behind. “You attack the enemy, you disrupt the supply line, and you take in the refugees. This gentleman here (Reynolds) and his deputies and law enforcement agencies attack the enemy, and they go after the drug dealers who are bringing this poison into our jurisdiction, and they stop cars that have heroin in them and they go in the houses, do search warrants and pull that stuff out,” Dobson said. “But, we attack the enemy at the prosecutor’s office when we prosecute them vigorously. We are one of the first and continue to be one of the most aggressive offices in prosecuting drug dealers who kill their clients. And, we continue to be vigorous in prosecuting drug trafficking and sending them to prison no matter how it may offend some people at the state — I can’t help that. They can go to prison. “We disrupt the supply lines when law enforcement stops these vehicles and seizes thousands of dollars from the vehicle. To me, that’s just common sense because I personally have never driven down the road with $40,000, $50,000, $100,000 or $300,000 in cash, in a garbage bag in the back of my car. Not even for a legitimate purpose, let alone not being able to explain why I’ve got that amount of money. “But, we also in a war take in the refugees. That’s what we’ve been talking about in general, and that’s what, with the co-

Inspirational Message of the Week: Altering Destiny Will things be different after we die? There is a natural tendency to think that there will be a radical transformation after death, that we will be unburdened by our bodies and that our souls will fly off to heaven and be united with God. But then shouldn’t we prepare our souls now to be with God? The truth is that God won’t be changing, and probably neither will we. Our souls and the virtues and appetites we cultivate become more or less permanent parts of who we are. If you have cultivated a spirit of love and compassion in your life, and live in the presence of God, you can certainly expect more of this in the hereafter, but if you have cultivated a spirit of anger and

hatred, or any of the other vices, these have become a part of your soul. Fortunately, these things can be changed, but only with steadfast hard work and a conscious decision to alter our characters. We can change our destiny, but only if we do the hard work necessary to change our characters. If you aren’t living in the presence of God now, what makes you think you’ll be in his presence in the hereafter? Live now as you would for eternity. “The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other because love covers over a multitude of sins.” —1 Peter 4:7-8 NIV

treated the person for an overdose. “They both talked about incidents that occurred after being contacted by law enforcement. ARC can be contacted by private individuals if you or you know somebody who has a family member or they themselves are struggling with addiction, you can contact our program. It’s a direct line to our ARC program,” Dobson said. “Ryan is not going to come out there to put the handcuffs on them. He’s going to come out there to talk to them, to try and encourage them to take part in this program, where they can get treatment. They will drive them to treatment. While Ryan is there talking to them, Belinda can be on the phone trying to find a bed, if a bed is what they need, or an assessment, if an assessment is what they need. “That was my vision in creating this combination and it’s working out very well, but it doesn’t need to be something that a medical professional or a law enforcement officer is contacting. If you know somebody — we’d rather hear three different phone calls from three different people about somebody and be able to help them than not hear at all.” Dobson added that includes an addiction to any substance, not just heroin or opiates. “If they are truly addicted (to any substance), we’re not going to turn anybody away,” Dobson said. “If they are dual diagnosis, if they’re dealing with mental health issues and they using drugs to self-treat that kind of thing, we will help them out with them. If we can’t do it, we’re going to find somebody who can. We are going to find the appropriate agency to help them. We are not going to send them back out into the ocean — we are going to figure something out to do with them.”

Get Growing

A visit to a garden center offers a much-needed taste of springtime April is here and, with it, the promise of our gardening season ahead. The April birthstone is the diamond. Along with being one of the more precious stones, it is reputed to be a symbol of courage and everlasting love. There are many ancient theories as to why the diamond was chosen as the April birthstone but one very unique theory was that diamonds were the “tears of the gods.” This theory could relate to April weather, which often includes it as a rainy month. If we recall the old saying that “April showers bring May flowers” the life-giving raindrops or “tears” of April are surely precious indeed. By mid-May the danger of hard frosts should be over for our area. After that date, it is safe to sow seeds in the ground and set out transplants for warm season plants. Garden centers are already stocking garden supplies and plants for your yards and gardens. If you need a little lift after all of this cold, snowy weather, visit a garden center where the colors and fragrances of flowers and plants will give you some much-needed spring cheer. You can also get a head start on planning what you want to grow in your yard or garden this year. Lately some garden questions have come in that may be helpful for this time of year. Question: What is the most important thing I can do for my flower beds in the spring? I don’t have enough time to do a lot but I want to do as much good for them as I can.

Get Growing by J.K. DePeal

Answer: Probably the best thing you can do to improve your beds is to add a layer of composted manure to the soil each growing season. Work it in if you have the time, or just layering it on top of the soil is also beneficial. That single activity will improve the nutritional balance of the soil, improve moisture retention, increase microbial activity, improve aeration, reduce diseases, reduce pests and improve fertility. Question: What perennials can be divided in the spring? Answer: When clumps of perennials become over-crowded, dividing them restores vigor to the plant. As a rule of thumb, the best time to divide spring-blooming plants is in the fall. The best time to divide fall-blooming plants is in the spring. Whether you are dividing in the spring or fall, try to do it when the weather is moist and mild to give the divisions the best chance to re-root and grow into healthy plants. Question: What are some annuals I can plant this year that will give me color through the summer and will do well in my heavy, clay soil? Answer: Annuals to try would include:

salvia, geraniums, vinca, moss rose, impatiens, marigolds, zinnias, cosmos, celosia, and nasturtiums. Work a layer of soil amendments into your flower beds before planting and mulch around the flowers to hold in moisture when the weather becomes hot and dry. Question: I like to grow organically as much as possible. What plants can I use to help control harmful insects? Answer: By using the correct plants, companion planting can be a very effective organic method of controlling garden pests. Alliums (onions, leeks, garlic, chives) will repel aphids, cabbage worms, ants, slugs, cabbage maggots, and carrot flies. Basil is useful against asparagus beetles, mosquitoes, and flies. Dill will repel spider mites, aphids, squash bugs, and cabbage loopers. Sage and peppermint are deterrents to cabbage flies, black fleas, beetles, cabbage loopers, and maggots. Many types of mint will repel slugs and tansy is said to deter flying insects, Japanese beetles, striped cucumber beetles, squash bugs, and ants. Geraniums and petunias are effective insect controllers as they will attract harmful insects away from other, more prized, plants. Planted near roses, they draw Japanese beetles, leaf hoppers, aphids, and other pests to themselves and spare the rose plants.

Genoa building restoration underway

Volunteers restore the exterior of Genoa’s oldest-known building. (Submitted photo) By Press Staff Writer The newly-formed Genoa Historical Society has set a goal of restoring the exterior of a building that has been standing along Washington Street for more than 100 years. Society members say they recently discovered the structure is the oldest-known building in the village, serving as one of the town’s first schools, the first town hall, and later as the meeting place of Civil War veterans. The Elliot Wyman Post of the G.A.R., the Grand Army of the Republic was named in honor of a Genoa man killed in action in 1864 in Georgia. It served as the veteran’s meeting hall for many years and then became the meeting place of the Women’s Relief Corps, the W.R.C., which were the wives and daughters of the veterans who continued the organization’s activities well into the 1950s and 60s. Lou Hebert, said volunteers have been working to restore the building to its original clapboard siding appearance when it was constructed in 1856.

He said the society wants to have that portion of the restoration project completed in time for the village’s homecoming and 150th sesquicentennial on June 1-2. Funding comes from donations, grants and money allocated by the village, which owns the building. Future plans are to install a brick paver courtyard with informational signs about the history of the building, a Civil War-era iron fence and perhaps an outdoor sculpture to honor the more than 200 residents of Genoa and Clay Township who fought in the Civil War, Hebert said. Research by members of the historical society indicate that in 1885, the hall was the site of a Civil War battle re-enactment, with former President Rutherford Hayes and at least four Civil War generals in attendance. Information about the society and its projects can be requested at GenoaHistoricalSociety@gmail.com, or contact Hebert at 419-290-7088 or Thomas Bergman, president of the historical society, at 419-279-1108.

Various ways to preserve wedding memories Couples’ wedding days are momentous occasions, and couples want their memories of the day they Ć&#x;ed the knot to endure long aĹŒer the ÄŽnal guest has departed. Weddings can be amazing, but they only last a few hours. Memories can be forever if they are eÄŤecĆ&#x;vely documented. The following are some ways for couples to permanently memorialize their wedding days. • Dry the bouquet. Wedding bouquets can be freeze-dried and/or chemically preserved so that the

colors, textures and the volume of the blooms can appear just as vibrant as they were on couples’ wedding days. AĹŒer preservaĆ&#x;on, the bouquet can be displayed in a vase or in a specially prepared shadow box with other mementos. • Create a custom locket. Brides can wear a piece of their wedding gown day aĹŒer day with a custom necklace or locket. All they need to do is trim a small piece of the lace or other embellishment from the gown and enclose it in the locket. Jewelry designers also may be able to convert a secĆ&#x;on of the gown paĆŠern into metal through a casĆ&#x;ng process. • Have guests sign the label. Purchase a special boĆŠle of wine or champagne and ask guests to sign the label or the boĆŠle itself. Store the boĆŠle unĆ&#x;l a special occasion, such as a memorable anniversary, and then toast to a happy marriage. • Make a cake replica. Ask an arĆ&#x;st to make a miniature replica of the wedding cake out of poĆŠery. Put the clay cake out for display or ask for it to be made small enough to serve as a Christmas tree ornament. • Teddy bear transformaĆ&#x;on: Have tuxedo fabric or wedding gown material turned into a keepsake teddy bear. Bowman Bears produces such bears, which can be passed down to future generaĆ&#x;ons. • Create bouquet jewelry. Encapsulate favorite wedding Ňowers into a resin pendant, bracelet or earrings. • Frame the invitaĆ&#x;on. Display the wedding invitaĆ&#x;on in a beauĆ&#x;ful frame with custom maĆŤng. • Revisit the site. On their anniversaries, couples can visit their ceremony site or have brunch or dinner at the venue where the recepĆ&#x;on took place. Take an aĹŒer picture to display with the before shot from the wedding day. • Make an invitaĆ&#x;on ornament. Cut the wedding invitaĆ&#x;on into strips and place it inside of a hollow glass ornament. Seal the top and hang with a ribbon. • Design a greeĆ&#x;ng card scrapbook.

Gose now a starter; gives Toledo a boost By Press Staff Writer sports@presspublications.com

Pat Nagle All-ECHL second team The East Coast Hockey League announced its All-ECHL first and second teams for the 2017-18 season and Walleye goaltender Pat Nagle has been chosen on the ECHL second team. The teams were determined by a vote from ECHL coaches, broadcasters, media relations directors and media. It has been special for Nagle as he leads the ECHL in wins with 36, ranks second in minutes played (2,787), third with 1,250 saves, fourth in goals against average (2.15) and his .926 save percentage is fifth. He has also collected three shutouts. The 36 wins represent a new Toledo ECHL record, passing Nick Vitucci’s 35 wins in 1994-95 and Jake Paterson’s 34 wins from a season ago. He is just two wins shy of tying the ECHL record for most wins in a year held by Brian Eklund of Pensacola (2003-04) and Mark Michaud of Hampton Roads (1993-94). The 30-year-old twice this season has been named ECHL goaltender of the month (November and February). Nagle went an astounding 17 games (15-0-1-1) without a regulation loss from January 24 through to March 24 which is a new Walleye record. He has also set a new Walleye mark for saves in a single season with 1,250 and going into the final weekend of the season he is just one appearance shy Jake Paterson’s 49 set last year.

University of Toledo senior baseball player Casey Gose (Genoa/Owens Community College), in his first at-bat of the season, ripped a double down the left field line to drive in two runs in the top of the fifth. The only problem was that Toledo lost that game to Pittsburgh, 17-3. Gose, at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, became the starting second baseman in late March due to an injury to junior Riley Campbell (Wadsworth). Gose proceeded to go 5-for-8 over the next two games with three RBIs, sparking Toledo’s offense in its two wins over Western Michigan. Behind the excellent pitching of 6-foot3, 219 pound right-handed fifth-year senior Sam Shutes (Three Rivers, Mich.), Toledo defeated Western, 3-0, for the Rockets’ first Mid-American Conference victory. Offensively, UT scattered nine hits on the day and scored one run in the third, sixth, and ninth innings. Gose stepped into the starting lineup and provided a spark, going 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. Gose’s second game was just as good. After trailing most of the game, Toledo tallied 12 runs in the final three innings to take down Western Michigan, 13-4, and win the series. At the plate, Gose had a career-high three hits and drove in two runs. The Rocket are currently 10-18 overall and 5-4 in the MAC, but includes a 4-14 away schedule that saw Toledo play against some of the nation’s best programs on a spring trip to Florida and Georgia. The Rockets are 3-1 at Scott Park. Gose is batting .295 (13 for 44), good for fourth on the team, with two doubles, eight RBIs, five walks and he struck out just six times. He has two stolen bases in two attempts. He also played a role in the Blue-Gold World Series, an inter-team scrimmage that continues throughout the season. Gose reached base and scored in all three of his plate appearances spurring his Gold Team to a 9-6 victory on a cool and damp afternoon. Last year as a junior, Gose played in 28 games, starting eight at second base. He was 1-for-1 at the plate with a walk and two runs scored against Richmond, started at Dayton on April 19 and was 1-for-3 with two runs scored and two walks. He notched a base hit in three straight appearances: at Louisville, vs. Dayton, and vs. Central Michigan. One interesting highlight among the mid-week games is a road game against Madonna that will be played at Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers. The Rockets’ bus arrived in downtown Detroit for the game Wednesday afternoon. “It’s such an exciting thing for our team, to be playing in a major league stadium, especially with so many guys on the team who are Tigers fans,” Coach Corey Mee said. “That’ll be a really neat experience.” For Mee, the year on the calendar may be different, but the end goal is still the same. “The goal that we have, year in and year out, is to put ourselves in a position to compete for a MAC championship,” Mee said. This is Mee’s 15th season as the Rockets’ skipper. He’ll look to lead a team that has a good mix of incoming and return-

I think we have a number of guys on our team who feel like they have something to prove, which we do. This is a group of guys who are hungry “We know there are some specific areas we need to improve upon to compete for a championship in 2018,” Mee said. “Our consistency and our strikeout numbers are at the top of the list of things we need to improve. Our offensive potential makes us an exciting team. If we can be more consistent in the batter’s box then we’ll have a chance to score a lot of runs.” Working in Toledo’s favor is that the bulk of 2017’s offensive production returns. Of the 258 RBIs tallied by the Rockets in 2017, 240 of those were driven in by players returning in 2018. The team loses just two position players who started more than 10 games. “The exciting thing about that is we’ll be here at Scott Park 21 times in 2018 and all of those games will be on ESPN3,” Mee said of the Rockets’ abundance of home games. “There will be plenty of opportunities for people to see us play. We’re really excited to be playing at home in front of our fans.”

There will be plenty of opportunities for Toledo to prove itself this season, both against national powers and MAC foes. With a potentially favorable finish to their conference schedule, the Rockets could be set up well to make another trip to the MAC Tournament. “The MAC is a highly competitive and balanced conference,” Mee said. “As a result, it will be important for us to compete at a consistently high level day in and day out. With four of our last five conference series at home, we have a great opportunity to make some noise down the stretch.” Gose at Owens As a sophomore at Owens, Gose appeared in all 45 games, hitting .380 (63for-166) with 55 runs, seven doubles, one triple, 32 RBIs, 19 walks and stealing 23 bases on 25 attempts. He had a .445 onbase percentage and slugged .434 and led the team in at bats, runs, hits, stolen bases and batting average. That year, Gose was one of four players selected to the All-OCCAC team. He was named the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference Player of the Week on April 17, the Owens Male Athlete of the Year and was a member of the OCCAC’s AllAcademic team and earned the NJCAA’s Exemplary Academic Achievement Award.

Josh Mohr earns first career Pitcher of the Week nod Ohio Northern University sophomore Josh Mohr (Clay) earned his first career Ohio Athletic Conference Baseball Pitcher of the Week nod for his efforts as ONU posted a perfect 4-0 week. Mohr, at 6-foot-4, 260 pounds, was a big part of the Polar Bears success as he posted a 2-0 record, while appearing in two contests last week. The sophomore left-handed pitcher posted a 1.20 ERA in 15 innings of work and fanned nine batters in his two appearances. Mohr pitched his first career complete game shutout victory in ONU’s second game at Capital, striking out eight batters during the contest and only allowing four hits in a 6-0 Polar Bear victory. In his first victory this season, ONU defeated Nichols (Mass.) 5-1 in the RussMatt Invitational in Auburndale, Florida. Mohr posted five strikeouts and only allowed three hits through 7.1 innings of work. The Polar Bears are 18-6 overall and 6-2 in the OAC. In six appearances, Mohr is 3-1, starting in four games. In 28.1 innings, he has allowed four earned runs, struck out 30, walking nine and given up 22 hits. During ONU coach Gene Stechschulte’s tenure as Northern’s head coach, pitching has been a strong point. The same holds true for Northern in 2018 as it welcomes back seven letter winners at the pitching position, including two-time AllAmerican T.J. Storer (Cincinnati Moeller). “Pitching should be a strong point for us again this year,” said Stechschulte. “We have a young group for the most part, but the experience is there. Most of these guys have seen significant time on the mound and gives us some options to rotate throughout the season.” Schaller and Mohr returned after ranking one-two on the team in strikeouts last season, respectively. As a freshman, Mohr appeared in seven contests, starting in five. He ranked second on the team with 35 strikeouts and was 3-2 in his first season. He made his collegiate debut on March 7, 2017 in a 8-6 victory over Pitt.-Greensburg, striking out a career-best 10 batters. A year after finishing 21-19 overall for

its fourth consecutive winning season, and posting a 7-11 record in the OAC and finishing seventh in the conference standings, Northern is primed to be a contender in the OAC race this season. "The biggest difference for us this season is the options we have," said Stechschulte. "We have a good mix of players that we think can be a difference for us. Last season we were trying to put players in places that weren't their natural fit or position and I think that hurt us a little bit. This year we have a good number of options in most of the position groups." (— ONU assistant sports information director Caleb Scott)

Lourdes golfer Chayce McQueary (Genoa) made her collegiate debut, firing a 105 over the 5,876-yard, par-71 layout. The Gray Wolves shot a round of 409, 10 strokes behind third place Madonna and 10 shots in front of fifth place Cornerstone. Siena Heights won the team title with a score of 325, easily outdistancing runnerup Cleary’s 371 total. “I was surprised with some of our performances today considering that we have not been outside very much due to the weather,” coach Gil Guerrero said. “It was really cold in the morning and I’m proud of the way the players handled it.” Lourdes will return to competition on Monday, as the Gray Wolves travel to the Cleary Invitational. Action is slated to begin at 10 a.m. at Timber Trace Golf Club in Pinckney, Mich.

Galyas, Reser singled out by Wistert Chapter At the 56th Annual ScholarAthlete Banquet at the SeaGate Centre, the Toledo Wistert Chapter of the National Football Foundation honored 15 coaches. Clay coach John Galyas, Eastwood coach Craig Rutherford (and his family) and Gibsonburg coach Steve Reser were among the coaches. University of Toledo football coach Jason Candle was the keynote speaker. Galyas just completed his first season as head coach at his alma mater. He has been on the Eagles staff since 2007. He coached offensive line and then linebackers before becoming head coach. In 2017, the Eagles posted a 5-5 record, their best since the 2012 season. Coach Galyas was named the 2017 Division II Northwest District Coach of the Year, the 2017 Buckeye Cable Sports Network Coach of the fall season and he was selected as an assistant coach for the Division I-III North Team in the OHSFCA 2018 North/South Classic All Star Game. Coach Galyas is a 1985 graduate of Clay High School and a 1990 graduate of the University of Toledo. He has taught in the Oregon City Schools for 17 years, the last six as a social studies teacher at Clay High School. Coach Galyas and his wife Jennifer have been married for 13 years and they have three children: John, Jordan and Remi. Steve Reser, a Tiffin native, began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Heidelberg University in 2001. Reser worked with the wide receivers for three years. In 2004 Steve took over as the offensive coordinator at Attica Seneca East. He remained at that position for five seasons, which included one trip to the state playoffs. In 2009, Reser accepted the offensive coordinator position for head coach Steve Gilbert at Tiffin Columbian. During that season the Tornadoes compiled a 7-3 record. The offense was a well-balanced run/pass attack, having four receivers with 20-plus catches. After one season as a Tornado, Reser again pursued other avenues. Reser was named the head coach of the Gibsonburg Golden Bears in the spring of 2010. In his first year of his first assignment as head coach, the Golden Bears finished the season with an 0-10 record. After a disappointing debut, Gibsonburg has since steadily improved. In 2011, the Golden Bears finished the season at 5-5, followed by a 4-6, and another 5-5, until the 2014 season when the Bears broke back into the win column with a 9-1 record. This was the first winning season the Gibsonburg football program had experienced in over a decade. The Bears followed the 2014 season with an undefeated regular season in 2015, earning both a TAAC championship, as well as an invitation to the OHSAA state playoffs. Gibsonburg has followed up with playoff appearances in each of the last two season, compiling regular season records of 8-2 and most recently 9-1 in 2017.

Cardinals are right where they want to be By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Now that he’s retired after more than three decades as a Toledo police officer, first-year Cardinal Stritch baseball coach Mike McGee is right where he wants to be. It doesn’t hurt that McGee, a former baseball assistant at Stritch and Waite, inherited 10 seniors from a team that took second place in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference last season. The Cardinals were picked to finish second in the TAAC this season, behind Ottawa Hills. “It’s so cliché but it’s so true,” McGee said, “I need my kids to not look ahead. I (don’t want to) catch them looking ahead to see when we play a certain team and overlooking another opponent. I need them to play one inning at a time and one atbat at a time. These kids have had a great four years. Two years ago they were league champs and they were runners-up last year. They just need to take one game at a time.” The Cardinals opened this season with a difficult schedule, losing to Wauseon, Genoa and Lake. The Cardinals were tied with Wauseon, 4-4, in the sixth inning before losing, and they lost to the Comets and Flyers by identical 6-4 scores. McGee said he’s toyed with his lineup in order to prepare for the TAAC schedule. “We’ve been playing just about every game where I got in all of my players, trying to get all of them some playing time,” McGee said. “Once the league starts, we’re going to be playing my best nine all the time. We are a veteran club, but we’re inconsistent right now. We’re making some mental mistakes, but I think we’ll put it all together real quick.” McGee said the Cardinals are very strong up the middle on defense, with senior catcher Joey Peternel, senior shortstop Andrew Flowers, senior second baseman Jeff Dunsmore and senior center fielder Matt Payeff. “I think we have one of the best center fielders around,” McGee said. “My defense is strong up the middle. When I’ve got my first team in there, they’re very experienced and pretty solid.” Dunsmore and senior Nick Staler figure to be Stritch’s top two pitchers, according to McGee. Both players pitched last season. “We had a couple of seniors who pitched ahead of them last year, and they didn’t get as much time as they probably should have,” McGee said. “They both have outstanding fastballs and very good breaking balls.” Dunsmore’s younger brother Ben, a sophomore, will also take the mound as a starter. Payeff, a left-hander, will come in as a reliever. “Ben throws the ball extremely hard and has a nice change-up,” McGee said. “He’s pitched in scrimmages and he looked real good against St. John’s.” Senior Jarred Cousino will start at first base and could also pitch, McGee said. “I predict he’ll end up hitting above .300,” the coach said, “but I have him in for his defensive skills. He’s a big kid and he’s very solid (defensively).” Peternel was a first-team All-TAAC catcher last season and is a four-year starter. McGee said Peternel and Flowers have signed on to play at Owens Community College next season. “Peternel has a cannon of an arm, and he hit over .400 last year,” McGee said.

Jeff Dunsmore at the plate. (Press photo by Doug Karns/www.CardinalStritch.org) “He’s like having another coach out there. He’s a take-control kind of guy, which is what I want in a catcher. He puts the team first and is a special kid.” McGee had the same kind of praise for

Jeff Dunsmore at second base. “He has very good hands, quick hands,” McGee said. “He’s always thinking one play ahead. That’s what I like about him. He never seems like he’s lost out there. He knows where he needs to go with the ball and he executes very well.” Flowers is off to a solid start after three games and should be one of Stritch’s top hitters. “His bat goes through the strike zone as fast as I’ve ever seen from any amateur player,” McGee said. “It’s unbelievable. He’s a good contact hitter and he never seems off balance at the plate. He always stays back and waits on the pitch.” McGee said the third base position will be filled by committee early on. He listed Staler, Ben Dunsmore and sophomore Joey McCourt as potential starters. Junior Paul Latz returns in left field after being named all-conference last season. McGee called Latz “the purest athlete in Oregon, Ohio.” “He’s the face of Cardinal Stritch,” McGee said. “He’s fast and smart and tough as nails. He stole home against Wauseon. He’s a great kid and a pleasure to coach.” Payeff, whom McGee said is the fastest player on the team, returns in center field. “Man, can he run ‘em down,” McGee said. “He gets a good jump on the ball and reads the ball. He has a strong arm and he’s smart. He’s looked fantastic at the plate so far.” Three seniors — Kyle Boehm, Connor Vidra and Hunter Crippen — are competing for the starting nod in right field. Senior Blake Kennedy will be used as a utility player.

John Segura believes

‘Hard work’ will get job done By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Little steps, not big ones, are going to get Waite’s baseball team on its path toward winning its first City League baseball title since 2002. “Our goal is to win the City championship, and I believe we’re only going to get better as the season goes,” coach John Segura said. “It’s going to start a little rough with our bats right now; our pitching and defense have been good. My expectation is to win a City title, and our kids have the work ethic to do it. “We are not going to out-talent (league rivals) Start or Bowsher, but we are going to outwork those two. Our hard work will pay off in May, when we get down to the end of the season.” The Indians finished 11-11 last spring and went 4-4 in the CL. They lost to Start, 1-0, in the league semifinals despite Jace Gutierrez no-hitting the Spartans, who went on to win the championship. Waite opened the season with losses to Monroeville and defending Northern Buckeye Conference champion Rossford. The Indians’ top player is senior shortstop Ancelmo Padilla, a first-team All-CL pick as a sophomore and junior who was also named to the Prep Sports Report AllOhio team last season. Padilla, who bats left-handed and throws right-handed, batted .477 with 25 stolen bases last year. “We need a big year out of him,” Segura said. “He’s a leader. He and his brother (center fielder Osvaldo Padilla), what makes them special is they will be down at the field every Sunday with Alex Rodriguez and Arnold Crossno and Nick Holdren. They will put in an hour or two of extra work without the coaches there. No hitting, just fielding work. That’s what separates Ancelmo from a lot of people, his work ethic.” Holdren, a senior, was the team’s No. 2 pitcher last season and went 3-4 with a 5.05 ERA in 36 innings. He had 35 strikeouts and earned second-team All-CL honors. Holdren pitched the opener against Monroeville, a 2-1 loss, and went seven innings and al-

lowed three hits with eight strikeouts. “He looked solid,” Segura said. “He threw strikes. He throws strikes and he has a nice cutter and curve ball to match his fastball.” The No. 2 pitcher is senior Nate Jimenez, followed by sophomore Juan Delira. “Our pitchers throw strikes,” Segura said. “We want (Jimenez) to get some solid innings, throw strikes and be competitive on the mound. He’s a competitive kid. Juan is going to see time as a reliever. He’s going to come in and eat up innings when we’re winning games. He’ll throw strikes and keep our defense awake.” Crossno, an honorable mention All-CL selection as a freshman last season, will start at catcher and can also pitch. Holdren will catch when Crossno pitches. “Crossno started at second base last year, then we put him behind the plate all summer and fall,” Segura said. “Arnold’s an extremely competitive kid. He’s the first one to practice and usually the last one to leave practice. He has a really strong arm and he only gonna get better because of the work he puts in.” First base will be split between senior Damion Noe and junior Mishawn Quinn. “They are new at first base and they worked on improving during the entire offseason,” Segura said. “Right now we’re trying to figure out where we’re going to go at first base, when we start really getting into games.” Rodriguez, a freshman, starts at second base. Holdren and Jimenez will both see time at third base. “Alex is a hard worker with soft hands,” Segura said. “He fields the ball really well. The first two teams we played this year remarked how good his hands are. He’s made every play this year.” Junior Andy Temple starts in left field, with junior Osvaldo Padilla in center and Delira in right. Padilla, the Indians’ leadoff hitter, was a second-team All-CL pick last season after batting .333 with a .564 onbase percentage and 23 walks. Junior Michael Quinn and senior Darren Nichols will also get playing time in the outfield.
