Jerusalem Twp.

Corps assessing flood risk along canals After walking about six miles of the dike system in Jerusalem Township, David Bench has some concerns. “We walked from the Cooley Canal up to Route 2. We then walked along Route 2 to Ward Canal,” Bench, a township trustee, said. Engineers from the Buffalo District of the Army Corps of Engineers were conducting the inspection. Bench said he’s worried the system suffers from several undercuts, with the worst in the area of Bono Road and Ward Canal. “That’s probably where the worst problems are in the township,” he said. “The Corps is going to tell us how bad they are. The Reno area will probably flood quicker from the back where the dikes are getting worn. It’s probably been close to 50 years since they’ve had anything done to them.” Michael Izard-Carroll, a spokesperson for the Corps, said a “risk assessment” is being conducted of the levy system along

Ward Canal and Cooley Canal. It connects to the federal levy system along Lake Erie. “The intent of the assessment is to evaluate potential flood risks to the Reno Beach - Howard Farms community associated with the local levy system. The final report should be available by the end of the calendar year,” Izard-Carroll said.

Bench and the Corps engineers walked the dike system on May 10. Armed with a report, the township board of trustees may then contact Rep. Marcy Kaptur’s office to see if funding is available for repairs, Bench said. “I’ve told people how bad they are but when the Army Corps of Engineers says they’re bad and some places should be fixed, maybe something will get done,” he said. Road closed to marsh The road to the Metzger Marsh Wildlife Area is closed until further notice due to high water damage, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The road was damaged by high water in recent storms and is currently unsafe for car traffic, but is accessible by foot, the ODNR said Wednesday. The road will be closed from the boat ramp to the pier, however the boat ramp will remain open. The schedule for repairs to the road was unknown as of last week. The marsh is located off Bono Road in Curtice.

The Ottawa County Vietnam War Commemoration Committee is sponsoring a visit of the traveling Vietnam wall May 31 – June 3 at Camp Perry, near Port Clinton. An honor escort for the wall will assemble May 30 at 3:30 p.m. at Oak Harbor High School and depart at 4:30 p.m. Set-up of the wall starts at 8 a.m. on May 31 and an opening ceremony is scheduled for 5 p.m. A reading of the names of Ottawa County residents who were killed in Vietnam will be held at 7 p.m. on June 1. The names are: Thomas Henry Carstens, James Michael Davenport, Clyde Wilson Enderle, David Michael Kesterson, William L. Matthews Jr., Glen Allan Millinger and Antonio Elizondo Ruiz. On June 2, programs will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the conference center, 1000 Lawrence Rd. A complimentary breakfast will be served from 9:15 a.m. to 10 a.m. Plaques will be presented to wall sponsors at 10 a.m. and a pinning ceremony will be held at 10:30 a.m. Certificates of Honor will be presented at 10:45 a.m. and a tribute to fallen heroes starts at 11 a.m. A closing ceremony will be held at noon on June 3 and the wall will be taken down at 3 p.m. “Our goal is to present the wall and remember the men and women who served,” said Gene Bihn, a member of VFW Post 7510 and Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 35. “We’re hoping veterans of Vietnam will bring their grand kids. This is something they’ll remember the rest of their lives.” Anyone wanting to participate in the honor escort should contact Bill Sorg, 419279-0928. Those who want to donate or volunteer should contact the Ottawa County Veterans Service Office, 419-898-2089. The Xtreme Cuisine food truck will be at the site on June 2 and 3.

Health dept. warning of rabies risk After a bat in East Toledo tested positive for rabies last week, the Toledo Lucas County Health Department issued a warning that bats become more active this time of year, increasing the chance of exposure to the virus. Humans and other mammals may contract rabies through a bite, scratch or saliva from an infected animal. Health officials are warning that a bat bite or scratch may not be seen or felt by someone because a bat’s teeth and claws are usually small. If untreated, however, rabies can be fatal. Bats that are on the ground, unable to fly, or active during the day are more likely

to be infected than others and the health department is advising residents not to handle them. Some recommendations: -If a bat is in your home don’t release it outdoors until after speaking with animal control or public health officials. It may be possible to test the bat and avoid the need to receive rabies treatment. - Advise children to not handle unfamiliar animals, wild or domestic, even if they appear friendly. - Keep vaccinations up-to-date for all pets. State law requires animal bites to be reported within 24 hours to the health commissioner of the district in which the bite

occurred. The rabies virus infects the central nervous system, ultimately causing disease in the brain and death. The first symptoms of rabies may be very similar to those of the flu, including general weakness or discomfort, fever, or headache. These symptoms may last for days. There may also be discomfort or a prickling or itching sensation at the site of the bite, progressing within day to symptoms of cerebral dysfunction, anxiety, confusion, and agitation. As the disease progresses, the person may experience delirium, abnormal behavior, hallucinations, and insomnia.

The newest addition to the Sandusky County Historic Painted Barn Trail honors former Woodville Township resident Tom Henricks. (Submitted photo)

Barn art honors Colonel Tom Henricks By Press Staff Writer A dedication ceremony was held May 22 for the latest barn to be included in the Sandusky County Historic Painted Barn Trail. The barn is located near the Village of Woodville at 770 E. Main St. and features an image of former Woodville Township resident Tom Henricks, a colonel in the U.S. Air Force and a four-time shuttle astronaut. The barn painting was made possible by donations from Martin Marietta, the Sandusky County Convention & Visitors Bureau for designing the mural and securing the location, artist Scott Hagan and barn owner Scott Nuhfer. The Sandusky County Historic Painted

Barn Trail links with a statewide trail being established by Ohio History Connection. With the statewide trail, a barn in each of the 88 counties in Ohio will be painted with an historic theme specific to that county. Other barns in the statewide barn trail include the Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry barn in Ottawa County, an Annie Oakley barn in Darke County and the Zoar Village bicentennial barn in Tuscarawas County. Two years ago, the Sandusky County Convention & Visitors Bureau had the idea for a new way to bring tourists into the area while celebrating the rich history of Sandusky County. After the Ohio Turnpike Commission and Ohio History Connection painted a barn on the Ohio Turnpike with the portrait of Rutherford B. Hayes, the

Sandusky County Convention & Visitors Bureau decided to build a barn trail. In 2016, the bureau hired Scott Hagan to paint historic barns in both Fremont and Gibsonburg. The Fremont barn, located on Christy Rd., features the Battle of Fort Stephenson which took place in Fremont during the War of 1812. The barn in Gibsonburg is located on the corner of State Rt. 600 and County Rd. 32 and depicts 9-11, the World Trade Center towers and Gibsonburg’s Public Safety Service Memorial logo. For additional information on the barn dedication and the Sandusky County Painted Historic Barn Trail, visit www. sanduskycounty.org or the convention and visitors bureau Facebook page.

Traditions Sauces wins CIFT Award Traditions Sauces, manufacturer of regional brand Brickyard Sloppy Joe Sauce, was honored with the CIFT Excellence Award at Walt Churchill’s Market in Perrysburg. The award is in recognition of exceptional achievement in the development of the food company and the contribution to the industry and state of Ohio. “We are honored to accept this award from CIFT,” said Don Hill, Jr., owner, Traditions Sauces. “Our company has experienced rapid growth in a short period of time, and it was in part through the assistance of CIFT. We are very proud of Brickyard Sloppy Joe Sauce, and excited

Ag Notes for the future as we expand in several more states across the country.” While serving in the U.S. Navy in Afghanistan, Hill ate a sloppy joe sandwich from a ready-to-eat meal. He longed for the cherished sloppy joe family recipe he enjoyed as a child. Upon his return from combat, he sought to

determine the viability of packaging and selling the sauce on grocery store shelves. Hill then reached out to CIFT to make his dream a reality. Using several Ohio-based ingredients, Brickyard Sloppy Joe Sauce is sold in six states across several hundred stores including Walmart, Kroger, Giant Eagle, Walt Churchill’s Market, House of Meats, Sautter’s Markets, Kazmaier’s, and several others. Later this year, Hill plans to introduce a new product along with the addition of staff. For more information visit traditionssauces.com.

The Toledo-Lucas County Health Department (TLCHD) continues to see cases of Hepatitis A within the community. The department reminds the community of the importance of sound handwashing practices, proper hygiene and vaccination in reducing the likelihood of infections. Additionally, frequent handwashing and proper adherence to food safety guidelines is recommended. TLCHD was notified of a confirmed case of Hepatitis A in a store associate who reports recent work at ALDI, at 5539 Monroe St., Sylvania. ALDI patrons who may have purchased unwrapped fresh produce between April 26 and May 13 may have a slight risk of getting Hepatitis A, and other store patrons are considered at low risk. TLCHD is working closely with ALDI to eliminate any additional risk of exposure through a deep facility cleaning and offering Hepatitis A vaccinations to their employees. The health department encourages all store associates to be vaccinated. The Hepatitis A vaccine may provide protection against the disease if given within two weeks of exposure. Anyone potentially exposed to Hepatitis A should contact their healthcare provider to be assessed. Hepatitis A virus is most commonly spread from person-to-person by the fecal-oral route. Most infections result from contact with an infected household member or sex partners. Sometimes, the infection results from food or drink that is contaminated with the virus. It is not spread through coughing or sneezing. Anyone with Hepatitis A can spread the virus to others for one to two weeks prior to symptoms appearing. Those interested in receiving a Hepatitis A vaccine are encouraged to contact their healthcare providers or the health department by calling 419213-4216.

Remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice By Maj. Gen. Mark E. Bartman Ohio Adjutant General Monday, May 28 is Memorial Day. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our opportunity to remember the brave Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our great nation. Since the first battle of the American Revolution in 1775, nearly 1.2 million service members, including members of the National Guard, have given their lives in service to their country. Memorial Day began as Decoration Day after the Civil War 150 years ago, when citizens placed flowers by the graves of fallen Soldiers, many of whom had served in their state militias. We continue that tradition today. We also honor Gold Star Families, family members of fallen service members, who have paid a personal price for us and our nation. I had the honor of paying tribute to several Gold Star Families who attended the annual Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wreath-Laying Ceremony on May 21 at the Ohio Statehouse. The ceremony at the Veterans Plaza on the grounds in downtown Columbus recognized their sacrifice and honored the memory of their loved ones and every Ohioan who has died for our freedom. Let us reflect on the sacrifices of all of our fellow citizen-warriors who have fallen in service to our country. Let us also reflect on how their deaths have forever impacted their families, their loved ones, their friends, neighbors and the extended community. Memorial Day has become a day to remember the deeds and sacrifices of all who have paid the ultimate sacrifice during combat. They came from all walks of life and regions of the country. They all had one thing in common â&#x20AC;&#x201D; love of and loyalty to country. This bond cemented ties between them in times of trials, allowing a diverse group of Americans to achieve monumental ends. Throughout history our brothers and sisters in arms defended the future of freedom at places like Bunker Hill and Yorktown, Gettysburg and Antietam, the trenches of France, Guadalcanal and Normandy, the Korean peninsula, Vietnam, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq. Collectively, the contributions of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fallen heroes have resonated far beyond beachheads, jungles and desert sand â&#x20AC;&#x201D; well beyond their wars or duty stations. The words that adorn the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery, where some of our heroes are interred, also speak volumes about the bravery and valor of the men and women who risked their lives for our nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not for fame or reward, not

for place or rank, not lured by ambition or goaded by necessity, but in simple obedience to duty as they understood it, these men suffered all, sacrificed all, dared all and died.â&#x20AC;? From each stone that lay at Arlington, each etching on the wall, and each patriot that lay at rest overseas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; each represents a Marine, Sailor, Airmen, Soldier and Coast Guardsman who left behind a lasting legacy of freedom, sacrifice and virtue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for that we are forever indebted. During recent conflicts, hundreds of National Guard men and women have not returned home. Their duty and their sacrifice came at great cost, and reflect the changing missions of the National Guard as it has transformed into an operational

Guest Editorial force. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ohio National Guard forces are dedicated to fighting Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wars, protecting our homeland during crises and disasters, and building global partnerships that ensure the security of our nation. But most importantly, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make every day Memorial Day by never failing to honor the men and women who gave their all. Their courage in the face of certain

danger, and their ultimate sacrifice, will shine like a beacon on future generations through times of conflict and uncertainty. Their selfless contributions will serve as the staunchest of warnings to our enemies that we shall never abandon the cause of liberty. Maj. Gen. Mark E. Bartman is the Ohio adjutant general. He is a member of the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cabinet and is responsible for the command of the Ohio National Guard and the military readiness of the Ohio Militia.

Your Voice on the Street: By Stephanie Wade Cats or Dogs?

The Press Poll Gas prices are expected to soar this summer. Are you prepared to pay more? No. This will seriously impact my budget No. I may reconsider taking some trips. Yes. I have a compact vehicle. Yes. It won’t effect me.

Stone York Port Clinton “Dogs. I can’t have a cat because my Mom is allergic. I wouldn’t want to clean a liter box anyway.”

Cody Alvarez Millbury “Dogs because I love my dog. She is a Lab Husky mix. She’s very soft and lazy. She’s the perfect dog.”

Joan Stallard Millbury “Both. They both have their pluses and their minuses. Cats like to curl up with you and sleep. Dogs are a little more independent when it comes to snuggling.”

Tony Stallard Millbury “I like dogs better because dogs are always happy to see you when you come home. No matter what. Doesn’t even matter how long you’ve been gone.”

Olivia Doughty Monroeville, OH “Dogs because you can take them running with you. I like to go running. I’ve never really been a cat person.”

Being independent means following your own path What influences your thoughts and behavior? Is being accepted by others an overwhelming priority? Do the opinions of others have a big impact on you? Does “conventional wisdom” influence you? Are you swayed by criticism? Do you make decisions based on what other people are doing? Or, are your thoughts your own? Do you constantly ask questions? Are you always looking to improve? Do you strive to find a better way of doing things? Are your goals based on your desires? Everyone likes to think they are independent. You are an independent person when following your own path. As a teenager, one of your primary objectives was to become independent from your parents so that you were no longer under their control. This desire for independence can be so strong that many teenagers will do the opposite of whatever their parents want just to prove they are old enough to make their own decisions. Yet, simultaneously, these same teenagers are consumed with being accepted by their peers. This desire for acceptance carries through into later life. When these teenagers become adults, they still have a need to

Poppy Days thank-you To the editor: Troy-Webster American Legion Auxiliary Unit #240 would like to thank everyone who donated to the poppy program this past weekend in Luckey and Perrysburg. The courtesy and thank-you extended to our veterans who helped offer poppies was amazing. Our Legionnaires were all in their 80s and enjoyed your conversation and compliments. We would also like to extend our thanks and appreciation to The State Bank and the Post Office in Luckey, and Walt Churchill’s Market and Walmart in Perrysburg. Without your support for our veterans, it would not have been possible. All money collected from the poppy campaign goes directly to veterans and their families through the Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation, and Children and Youth Programs of the Auxiliary. Any expenses (poppies, cans and postage) are paid out of the general fund. One-hundred percent of poppy dollars go back to the veterans. Becky Dippman, President Troy-Webster American Legion Auxiliary Unit #240 Luckey

Farming tips To the editor: I have been involved in farming all my life. Lake Erie has had problems as far back as I can remember. In the 1970s, the cities blamed the farmers for nitrogen run-off, the farmers blamed the cities for phosphorous run-off and nothing got done. It is also lawn and garden fertilizers that run-off. Three problems with the lake are: 1. The phosphate run-off 2. The nitrogen run-off 3. Soil erosion

ally want something before you can attain it. A desire to become an independent person provides the incentive to break out of established patterns of dependency. Next, question why you are on your current path. If your answer is because it’s what you really want, then that’s good. If your direction is based on other’s expectations, you need to realign your direction based on your own desires. Question what you hear from others. Question conventional wisdom. Verify information by independently researching facts and evidence. An independent person doesn’t make decisions based on the opinions of others. Avoid making decisions to conform to peer pressure. Your actions should be based on what you need to do to stay on your path. Don’t engage in any behavior which is self-destructive, unethical, or immoral. Anyone who pressures you to act contrary to your self-interest isn’t worth associating with. As an independent person, you don’t care how other people live their lives.

The first problem can be taken care of by stopping use of leachable fertilizers. The second could largely be taken care of by intercropping corn with soybeans and using chicken manure. The third by growing cover crops like buckwheat, radishes, rye, or a mixture of things to keep the ground covered year round. There are at least two sources of phosphate that don’t run off. The first is called Soft Rock Phosphate. All 20% P205 is available to the plant. It is available from Ohio Earth Food. The other is Tennessee Brown Phosphate. It has 22.7% P205 and is available from Crop Services International. I have used both with great results. According to Dr. Arden Andersen, you can grow corn with 40 lb nitrogen/acre when you have enough calcium, since it is the calcium that makes the corn grow. Chris Dietrich Elmore

Valuable volunteers To the editor: The board of directors of the Humane Society of Ottawa County would like to thank the Oak Harbor Lions Club for volunteering at our shelter. And, thanks to Northern Manufacturing who donated a much needed panel of stainless steel to repair a wall in our dog kennel. These Lions Club volunteers made repairs to the inside and outside of the shelter and did yard work. Everyone was organized and brought their own tools, supplies and yard equipment. We rely on volunteers such as the Oak harbor Lions Club and Northern Manufacturing to do work at the shelter. Any monies saved goes directly to care for

our animals. Martin Mortus President, Board of Directors Humane Society of Ottawa County

Looking back To the editor: Lord, take me back to the last of the good old days. The 1950s and 40s were such days. Perhaps the last. Most of us ate our meals at home, cooked by our moms – so good they were. We did the dishes. We had neighborhood, owner-operated grocery stores and ice cream parlors. Almost every other corner had these family-run fine stores. We walked to the school every day. Only farm children were bused to school. Main and Starr avenues were the places we did our shopping. Murphy’s and Penny’s were our big stores. Reddish Brothers was the hardware store and the local sporting goods store. Our local grocery stores were Billat’s Market, Eggert’s, Tschernes, Braun’s. The local confectionary was Siewert’s Ice Cream on the corner of Nevada and Prentice streets. Our favorite place to hang out was Prentice Park; basketball, softball, cards. The city hired supervisors for the summer. We had a YMCA at Starr and Euclid streets. Churches were everywhere and Sundays were special. The churches rang their bells – what a beautiful sound. Sunday dinners were great times. We walked to the zoo and you could get in for 25 cents. The ice man came everyday in the summer to fill your ice box. We had a junk man with a horse and

Curtice resident’s hard work earns her scholarships By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Taylor Dulinski, of Curtice, has been working very hard to earn money and spread the word about blood cancers. In May 2016, Taylor and her family - her twin brother Drew, father Tom, and mother Kim, were all devastated and shocked when Tom was diagnosed with Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma. The family has since then received grants to help pay for travel expenses and insurance premiums through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). Tom is currently in his second remission, but his daughter has been working with LLS through the Student of the Year program. The SOY wins a $2,500 scholarship to the college of their choice. She also wanted to thank the LLS for the support she and her family received. Taylor held fundraisers from Feb. 21 through April 14 with the goal of raising $16,000. Fundraisers were held at Chipotle, Classic Style Barbershop, Sky Zone, Rayz Café, Texas Roadhouse, Granite City and at Notre Dame Academy, where Taylor is a sophomore. Eighty-six percent of the money raised goes to research and to helping families through grants. On April 14, the LLS held their SOY event at Shorty’s Barbecue. Taylor discovered that she had raised $10,000 through her events and donations. She also won the $500 Mission Scholarship. Taylor hopes to attend John Carroll University to study pre-med. She wants to work as an emergency room physician. “I am so very proud of her,” Kim said. “Raising $10,000 was hard work and she

really did spread the word about LLS and blood cancers. Tom is so very proud as well.” The mission scholarship, according to the LLS, seeks to reward the candidate who has advanced the efforts to cure blood cancers by making significant contributions through their campaigns to spread their mission, Candidates were judged on creativity, passion, reach and leadership. “She worked so very hard and everybody helped her tremendously,” Kim said. “Mercy Health gave her $1,000 toward her goal. Rayz gave all of their proceeds from the fundraising night to her as well; usually, restaurants only give a portion of the sales from diners who specifically state they are there for the fundraiser. Not Rayz. They gave all of the donations and that was so nice of them.” Taylor also received a $1,250 scholarship for her tuition at Notre Dame, through the Logsdon-Walla Post #639, Catholic War Veterans. Taylor was nominated by school administrators for the Msgr. Jerome E Schmit scholarship. Winners are members of the Catholic faith, maintain a solid grade point average and demonstrate leadership qualities. “Being involved with LLS and talking to adults, asking for donations, has really helped Taylor,” Kim said. “She will be taking a break for a while from the fundraising, but I am sure she will be back.” Taylor said she was happy that she raised the money with help from the community. “I want to thank everyone for their help,” Taylor said. “I will probably do the LLS fundraiser again, when I am a senior. For now, I am thrilled to have raised the money, because every penny counts.”

For the second year in a row, students at Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School & Academy are producing a coloring book to share with the community. The 60-page book, “A is for Art,” includes coloring pages and activities surrounding each letter of the alphabet, designed entirely by students. For every book sold for $5, two books will be donated to deserving children throughout the community, an effort supported through partnerships with United Way of Greater Toledo, Buckeye Community Arts Network (BCAN) and The Blade. “This is a great opportunity for our students to promote art and literacy throughout the community,” said Lauren Hurd,, the art teacher who assigned the project. “This is also a chance for our students to work on a project that goes beyond our walls; and giving back to the community is core to what we do at Cardinal Stritch.”

“We are happy to partner with Cardinal Stritch and deliver these beautiful, student-drawn coloring books to those in need,” said Wendy Pestrue, president and CEO of United Way of Greater Toledo. The inaugural coloring book in 2017 was delivered to Toledo Children’s Hospital. This year, donated books will be gifted to as many as 2,000 foster children throughout Lucas County in collaboration with Lucas County Family Services. “It’s always a pleasure to encourage any opportunity that helps young folks get involved in their community and understand the power, and impact, of their personal contributions,” Pestrue said. “A is for Art” are available for presale at www.cardinalstritch.org/coloringbook and will also be available for sale at Art Supply Depo in Toledo and Bowling Green in the coming weeks.

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

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

Waite student places 6th at BPA Ntl. Leadership Conference Waite High School junior, Belle Taylor traveled to Grapevine, Texas, May 9-13, to compete in the Business Professionals of America (BPA) 2018 National Leadership Conference, “Dream Bigger.” Taylor, a student in the Medical Office Management program at Waite, competed against 69 of the nation’s top students in medical office management and placed 6th in the nation. “Attending the National Leadership Conference is not only an honor, but a testament to the hard work that Belle has put into her school year to excel in business education and training. It is the culmination of a year’s worth of focus and dedication she has put forth,” said chapter advisor, Sara Costello, who teaches the Medical Office Management program. Previously, Taylor competed in the Medical Office Management skills competition at the regional and state levels, placing first in the region and second at the state leadership conference. BPA is the premier Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) for high school, college and middle school students preparing for careers in business, finance and management information systems and other related fields. The organization’s activities and programs complement classroom instruction by giving students practical experience through application of the skills learned at school.

Crime Prevention Corner

Safety of schools, students is everyone's business

“

While the current school year is coming to a close, any time is a good time to remind citizens school and student safety is everyone’s business and everyone’s responsibility. School shootings have led the news in recent days, most notably in Texas, where a 17-year-old boy shot and killed eight students and two teachers. It is not enough to say we will pray for the families of those slaughtered in that incident. What we need to do to reduce the carnage on our school grounds is much debated. It is highly unlikely we will find any solution on which most of us, let alone the politicians, will agree. There is one thing, however, that could greatly impact these incidents with which we can all agree. Almost every school shooting incident has at least one thing in common besides the fact guns were involved. That is the fact that in a great majority of the cases, the shooter used social media to broadcast indicators of what he or she was about to carry out. Remember the slogan, “See something, say something?” These school shooting incidents are the typical types of cases for which this slogan is appropriate. It’s sad to think about how many students’ lives could have been saved if only someone who saw those social media postings would have picked up a phone and alerted the authorities. No, not every school shooting would have been prevented simply by reporting the social media postings, but would you want it on your conscious that someone may have died needlessly because you didn’t report it? Going back several years, I have made numerous appearances on WTOL’s Sunday morning show, “Leading Edge,” hosted by Jerry Anderson, pleading with people to abide by the “See Something, Say Something” slogan to help avert catastrophic loss of lives. Too many people still

Don’t take the chance – report it! don’t get the importance of reporting suspicious postings, however. Look at it this way: If you were driving down the road and saw a bad accident, wouldn’t you immediately dial 9-1-1 to report it? You should do just the same if you see a social media posting that indicates someone might be threatening others’ lives. About five years ago, Fostoria police were alerted to a social media posting asking people to show up for an “ethnic cleansing” event. The department was able to track down those responsible for the posting, charging them with crimes. They were convicted, but more importantly, the event was thwarted. There are several reasons people don’t report such things. Many think it is only a joke, that the person posting it is just kidding. Don’t take the chance – report it! You will not be made to feel embarrassed by law enforcement if it turns out to be a false alarm. We will be relieved as much as you will be. Also, many people “don’t want to get involved” or they think someone else will report it. If everyone thinks this, it will go unreported, with potentially catastrophic results. These same factors apply equally to reporting ANY crime or suspicious activity, as any trained member of a Neighborhood Watch group can tell you. A few words of warning to students on a related matter – don’t say things that can be construed as threats, even if you are joking. It is not a laughing matter! Many juveniles have been charged for inducing panic

by saying things about which they were not serious, but others took it seriously Once such utterances are reported, law enforcement personnel must investigate them thoroughly. There are also ways citizens can help protect students on a daily basis. Even if you are not a teacher, school administrator, parent, or grandparent, the safety of our students may still rest in your hands. Almost everyone who drives a vehicle probably drives through a school zone during restricted hours. Ohio law dictates you drive no more than 20 miles per hour in a school zone when children are likely to be in the area. If you’ve been driving long enough, you may have noticed the wording on 20 miles per hour school speed limit signs

The Genoa Town Hall, pictured here in 1909, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It was built in1883 and featured an opera house. Its first play was “The Three Wise Owls” in 1886, and it was the meeting place for town administrators, organizations, theater and school commencements. The building fell into disrepair but was renovated in the late 1970s by Tomme Betrgman and the Federation of Clubs. (Photo from GPL and published in “Images of America: Elmore and Genoa” by Jennifer Fording, on behalf of the Harris-Elmore Public Library.)

History of Genoa, Ohio The first white settlers came to what is now known as Clay Township in 1835. More settlers continued to arrive and the community grew into what was then called Stony Station. The name change happened in 1857, to Genoa. This name was chosen for the city of Genoa, Italy. For like the Italian city, this community was surrounded by water. The Village of Genoa was, then, incorporated on September 7, 1868. The Village of Genoa Town Hall was Completed in 1886. The Town Hall had an opening show in January 1886, with the production of “The Three Wise Owls.” Since then the Town Hall has been a hub of activity with council and other important meetings; church suppers and bazaars; plays, minstrel shows and other entertainment, and high school commencement exercises being held there. The Genoa Town Hall is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places; it is classified as the oldest free-standing municipal building in Ottawa County. Main Street was a corduroy road, which is where logs are placed side by side with sand filling in between the cracks, until it was paved in 1913. Main Street becoming Lime Road going into Woodville, was a toll road from 18511910.

Hitchcock inspiring coach, teammates By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

Mike Lee. (Press file photo by Jeff Smith)

Mike Lee set to coach at Gibsonburg Gibsonburg Schools has announced that Mike Lee would be recommended to the board of education as the next head football coach for the Golden Bears. “Gibsonburg Schools is excited about the strengths that Coach Lee will bring to our program. Coach Lee will continue to build on the strong traditions of Gibsonburg football,” stated a press release from Gibsonburg Exempted Village Schools Superintendent Tim Murray. This will be voted on May 30 at the monthly Gibsonburg Board of Education meeting. In 2016, Lee turned in his resignation at Clay, finishing his four years with eight wins against 28 losses. Before going to Clay, Lee taught health and physical education at Woodmore for just over seven years. He was hired as Woodmore’s head football coach in 1992 and resigned the position in 1998, achieving championship success and taking the Wildcats into the playoffs. Lee went on to teach junior high and high school health and physical education in the Fostoria Community Schools for eight years, serving as the high school’s athletic director for two years. Lee’s brother Jeff, was Clay’s head football coach for eight seasons, resigning in 2006. Next fall, Gibsonburg will return to the Sandusky Bay Conference to play football in the small-school River Division. In the last four years under Coach Steve Reser, the Golden Bears went 36-7 while making it to the playoffs three times and winning two Toledo Area Athletic Conference titles, including a championship its last year in the league.

Eastwood softball coach Joe Wyant was asked to come up with three words that describe Ashley Hitchcock, the Eagles’ junior ace. “Intense. Hard-working. Inspired,” Wyant said. “She’s inspired by the game. She enjoys the game. She likes competition and the game inspires her to play hard.” Hitchcock, who was named to the All-Ohio first team for the second straight season, pitched a four-hitter with nine strikeouts on Wednesday to lead fifthranked Eastwood to a 7-0 Division III regional semifinal win over seventh-ranked Fairview. The Eagles (28-0) won the Northern Buckeye Conference title with a 14-0 record this spring and have won 45 straight conference games. Hitchcock has been on the mound for every one of those victories. She has thrown five no-hitters (including two perfect games) and 10 one-hitters this season. She had an 0.71 ERA through 157 innings, with 352 strikeouts and 28 walks. Prior to Wednesday she was hitting .564 with seven homers, 14 doubles, 49 RBI and 40 runs while batting third behind another first-team All-Ohioan, senior shortstop Maddy Dyer. Hitchcock started playing on a travel softball team when she was 10, but she played in the outfield. “Outfield was never my strong suit,” she said. “I also tried playing infield, but that didn’t work out either. I asked my parents if I could pitch and they said it takes a lot of work and you have to work at it. I started pitching at 12 and caught onto it very quickly.” Hitchcock said one reason she preferred pitching to playing in the field was because she isn’t the type of person who can just “sit back and wait for stuff to happen.” She said she prefers to be involved in every play and be in control of the game. “After I tried pitching, I got better at hitting,” she said. “I worked a lot harder on hitting. When I’m not pitching for my (current) travel team, I play third base, so I can play infield now, too.” Hitchcock wakes up around 5:30 a.m. on game days and heads to the batting cage in the family’s barn. “I have a sled I use when I pitch that helps me get more of a push-off, and I’ll do that a few times in the morning,” she said. “It’s basically like a track sled that I put behind me, and I have a harness around me with a 10-pound weight. The sled will kind of want to pull me back, so I have to explode out and that really helps me drive off the mound better.” Hitchcock’s fastball now tops out around 64 miles per hour, and she has been with her pitching coach, Pat Brower, for a number of years. “He helps a lot of University of Michigan pitchers,” Hitchcock said. “He basically re-did my entire pitching mechanics and broke everything down. I used to throw in the low to high 50s, and he’s gotten me to 64 miles per hour.” Not even her best pitch The fastball isn’t even Hitchcock’s best pitch. That would be her rise ball, which she said most high school pitchers have difficulty throwing “up in the zone.” “It’s just a very hard pitch to hit,” she

Ashley Hitchcock. (Press photo by Russ Lytle/Facebook.com/RussLytle/RHP) said. “It’s very effective because I throw hard. I started throwing it probably eighth grade year and it has worked very well. All of my friends from other schools know I throw the rise ball. I also have a low rise ball where it starts at the knees and goes to the top of the strike zone.” Wyant first saw Hitchcock pitch during a summer league tournament game in Maumee in the summer prior to her freshman year. “She was a lot smaller than than she is now,” Wyant said of the 5-foot-8 Hitchcock. “She was good, but not as overpowering as a freshman as she is now.” One thing Wyant never worries about is having his star pitcher get flustered on the mound. Case in point was the district championship game against Otsego last Thursday. She had a no-hitter going into the seventh inning of a 2-0 game, but the Knights got a one-out base hit and sent the tying run to the plate. Hitchcock calmly got the next two hitters to ground out to end the game. “I don’t worry about her nerves,” Wyant said. “She’s been in so many big situations the last few years that I don’t think the pressure of the situation gets to her. She’s a competitor and she wants to win. I think she throws even harder and throws better against the better teams we play.” Hitchcock said she doesn’t think she’s ever taken the mound lacking confidence. “If I can get in my groove in the first three innings, after that I think I’ll be fine,” she said. “I have a lot of positive energy and I know my team really depends on me. I want to be a leader and if I’m not confident, I feel like I can bring others down.” Hitchcock can be just as intimidating at the plate. Not only did she strike out 12 batters in the district title game, she had two hits and drove in a run. Last Saturday, in a suspended regular-season game against visiting Otsego, Hitchcock belted a three-run homer in the fifth inning to lead Eastwood

to a 6-2 comeback victory. Calling her own pitches Ask anyone what they think of when they hear Ashley Hitchcock’s name and they’re most likely to talk about her command and dominance on the mound. She said she has “come a really long way” since her freshman year, and this season she’s been given free reign to flash pitch signs to junior catcher Meghan Melcher. “She pretty much calls what pitches she wants,” Wyant said. “I call some, but she calls 80 percent of them. I made out more pitching sheets for what I think she can do, and every once in a while I’ll call pitches. She’s thrown every one that I’ve called. I trust what she does.” Hitchcock said she is confident calling her own pitches because she knows what’s working best for her that day. “I can read batters pretty well now,” she said. “I know what their strengths and weaknesses are. I can tell whether or not to throw it inside or outside based on where the batter’s stance is, if they are crowding the plate or not crowding the plate.” Hitchcock, who committed to play at the University of Toledo during her sophomore season, has had plenty of help from her teammates in the field and at the plate. She was voted the pitcher of the year in the NBC for the third straight season, and Dyer was named the conference’s offensive player of the year. The Eagles’ entire infield – Dyer, junior first baseman Alissa Ray, junior second baseman Hannah Owens, junior third baseman Carleigh Coffield and Melcher - were all first-team All-NBC picks. “This team has one goal and that’s to make it to state,” Hitchcock said. “I think we have a very good shot. We come to practice every day prepared and we don’t underestimate teams and we don’t take anything for granted.”

Clay’s Haley Dominique named first team All-MAC By Press Staff Writer sports@presspublications.com Three members of the Ball State softball team, including sophomore outfielder Haley Dominique (Clay) were honored when the Mid-American Conference announced its annual postseason awards as voted on by the league’s 12 head coaches. “Haley did a great job sparking our offense this season,” Ball State coach Megan Ciolli Bartlett said. “Her strengths are her consistency and hand-eye coordination. “I love that she doesn’t change her approach at the plate no matter where I put her in the lineup. She’s going to be disciplined and selective at the plate. She’s going to put a great hack on a good pitch and hit the ball on the nose. Haley was a bedrock for us this season.” It did not surprise those who have seen her play, especially Clay coach Brenda Radabaugh. “When I heard that Haley received first team All-MAC recognition, my first thoughts were that I am so happy for her and so proud of her. The award did not surprise me at all because I know that she possesses a strong work ethic and is extremely competitive. Haley had an outstanding season and is very deserving of first team AllMAC honors.” For the second straight season, Dominique’s teammates, senior second baseman Maddy Labrador was also named to the All-MAC first team. She was joined on the squad by a pair of first-time honorees in junior pitcher Aeshia Miles and Dominique. “Maddy, Aeshia and Haley have been solid contributors for us throughout the season,” Bartlett said. “It’s a welldeserved honor for each of them.” Since the 2009 season, Ball State has placed more players on the All-MAC first team than any other league school. The Cardinals have 26 honorees during the span, with Northern Illinois in second at 18. Dominique, who was named to the MAC All-Freshman Team last season, claims All-MAC First Team honors for the

Her eight MAC doubles were second in the conference, while her team-leading .511 on base percentage was fourth. Dominique also led the Ball State offense with 19 runs scored in MAC competition, while reaching base safely in 22 of the team’s 23 conference games. Ball State softball’s run in the MAC Softball Championship came to an end with a 4-3 loss to Northern Illinois in its fourth elimination game in three days at Firestone Stadium in Akron. “I am very proud of what our team

accomplished this season,” Bartlett said. “While we didn’t end the year how we wanted, we battled until the very end. Everyone involved in our program has a lot to be proud of and a lot to look forward to in 2019.” The Cardinals (37-19), who also fell to the Huskies (24-31) by a score of 3-1 in its MAC Tournament opener, rebounded with elimination game victories over Central Michigan (5-1), Kent State (4-2) and Toledo (2-0). Unfortunately, the Cardinals fell a run shy of advancing to the MAC Softball Championship series, as Northern Illinois jumped out to a 3-0 lead aided by several

defensive miscues in the top of the first. The Cardinals, who had a quick turnaround after playing in the previous day’s fourth game, were able to get one run back in the bottom of the third when a two-out NIU error helped Dominique score from second. Dominique has scored five gamewinning runs over her career. She finished her freshman season as the toughest player in the MAC and the 30th toughest player in the nation to strikeout. She played in 47 of a possible 58 games over her career, earning 39 starts in left field. As a freshman, she ranked fifth on the team with a .274 batting average, including 11 doubles and a home run. She drew 24 walks to finish the year with a team-best .415 on base percentage and struck out just four times in 113 at bats. Dominique earned four letters in softball at Clay for coach Brenda Radabaugh and was named the Three Rivers Athletics Conference Player of the Year as a junior and senior. She was a three-time first team alldistrict selection and finished her senior season with a .620 batting average, including five home runs. She scored 50 runs and tallied 23 RBIs as a senior, while stealing 23 bases to help guide Clay to its fourth straight league title and fourth consecutive sectional championship. Dominique also earned a 3-1 record in the circle as a senior with 20 strikeouts and a 3.38 ERA. She finished her junior campaign as a .505 batter for the Eagles, scoring 49 runs and tallying 34 RBI and also made 11 appearances in the circle as a junior, recording a 1.07 ERA and 50 strikeouts while issuing just five walks. She finished her high school freshman campaign with a school-record 1.000 fielding percentage to earn the program’s Golden Glove Award. In addition, Dominique helped her Beverly Bandits 18U Travel Team capture the 2015 ASU/USA National Championship. Haley is the daughter of Mark and Becky Dominique. She maintains a 3.933 grade point average as a political science major. (— courtesy Ball State press releases)

Rockets win league title, then go on long tourney run By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com When league and district championships become the norm, it's safe to say a program has reached elite status. That's happened with Oak Harbor, a team that has repeated as league and district champions this season and continued along the tournament trail until reaching the Division II regionals. It all came crashing down Thursday with a loss to perennial power LaGrange Keystone, 4-1, in Tiffin. The Rockets were hoping to duplicate a similar tournament run to one they had last year, only better. In 2017, Oak Harbor went 29-2 and won a district championship, the first in program history, before falling to the same team, LaGrange Keystone, 2-0, in the regional final. The 25-6 Rockets won the Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division with a perfect 12-0 mark and rallied twice to defeat Clyde, 9-8, in eight innings to win a Division II district championship as Seree Petersen lined a single to right with the bases loaded to score Ashley Riley for the win. Oak Harbor led 4-1 before the Fliers, who hit four home runs, scored six unanswered runs to take a 7-4 lead in the fifth. The Rockets scored once in the bottom half of the inning and then put two more on the board in the sixth to tie the game, 7-7. In the top of the eighth, McKenzie Depottey hit a home run to left field to give Clyde an 8-7 lead before Oak Harbor scored twice in the bottom half. Olivia Rahm grounded out to second before Emily Lenke hit a single and Riley was intentionally walked. Dani Epling came through in the clutch, hitting a double to right field to score Lenke and send Riley to third. Kaytlynn Sandwisch then reached on an infield single to load the bases and set up Petersen for the finish. "We run through these situations in practice. We want it really bad. We wanted this for our seniors," said Epling. "I was in both those tough spots, and I knew that I could do it. "We lost during my freshman year (in the district finals) and we decided after that we

Oak Harbor pitcher Ashley Riley. (Press file photo by Doug Hise) were done taking silver and we were going for the gold." Petersen led the way for the Rockets, going 4-for-5 with a double and four RBIs, Epling was 3-for-5 with two RBIs, Lenke had two hits and scored three times and Riley reached base four times. "If you lose, you're out, so you have

to go 100%. It could've been the end of our season but it wasn't," said Petersen. "When I saw Kayt (Kaytlynn) Sandwisch get on (in the eighth inning), I said, 'I got this.' I just knew that I had to get it done for my team. When I got on deck, I had a feeling I'd be up, and I knew I could get it done. I struck out in my third at-bat and I knew I couldn't

let that get me down. I do really well with two strikes." Oak Harbor's win over Clyde came after two easy victories, a 10-0 win over Port Clinton and a 27-0 win against Woodward. Riley's home run helped pace the Rockets in their 10-0 district semifinal defeat of Port Clinton. Riley also pitched a nohitter, striking out 11 and walking just one batter. Kaytlynn Sandwisch, Olivia Rahm, Ashley Riley, Chloe Roosen all doubled for the Rockets. Against Keystone, the Rockets tied the game at one run apiece when Petersen singled to score Chloe Roosen in the bottom of the second, but Keystone scored one in the fourth and added two insurance runs in the sixth. Oak Harbor’s seniors finish the season with a 99-23 overall record. Riley threw 123 pitches, 76 of them strikes, and struck out four and walked four. She also had a base hit, and so did teammates Epling, Sandwisch, Petersen, Olivia Jensen, and Roosen. Lauren St. Clair had a sacrifice. Riley has led the way for the club, both in the circle and at the plate. She is 24-5 with a 2.22 ERA to go with 149 strikeouts in 170.2 innings of work. She owns every major pitching record in program history. Olivia Jensen believes she is fortunate to have the opportunity to catch Riley. For the previous three years, Maddy Rathbun was the catcher, but Jensen has made a smooth transition for Riley. “It’s been a blast. It’s like we can read each other’s minds,” said Jensen. “It’s like Ashley’s my sister sometimes.” Riley has hit .546 and owns the school record with 10 home runs. She’s also hit 10 doubles and driven in 31 runs, tops on the club. The other top hitters are Petersen (.462, 31 RBIs, 33 runs), Lenke (.452, 1 HR, 28 RBIs, 40 runs), Sandwisch (.434, 1 HR, 34 RBIs, 33 runs) and Epling (.407, 1 HR, 32 runs). Another successful year It’s been a typical year for Oak Harbor — playing solid softball for the duration of a season that began in Florida during

a spring break trip against stellar competition. That and the prestigious Prebis Memorial Invitational, which featured several Division I teams, account for the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only losses this year. The program has steadily improved over Chris Rawskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven years as the coach. Instead of taking the easy way out and scheduling lesser opponents, he has challenged his team outside of the conference and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paid dividends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played really good competition this year and it tested us,â&#x20AC;? said senior Ashley Riley. Petersen, one of the three seniors on the team, says the program is strong and she expects it to continue that way into the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shows how much Coach Rawski has worked with everybody from sixth grade on up. I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep going strong,â&#x20AC;? said Petersen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The eighth grade class coming up, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard great things about them. Coach Rawski always has something up his sleeve. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep winning league titles.â&#x20AC;? Rawski has seen his club sweep the likes of SBC opponents Margaretta, Willard and Huron, which reflects well on the state of his program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It goes to show the coaches and the players we have that are dedicated to the sport. To win in the SBC, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an easy thing to do. I think we learned a lot from the losses weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had this year,â&#x20AC;? said Rawski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we want to do the things we are capable of doing, we have to make sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re challenged. We have to learn from those mistakes.â&#x20AC;? Rawski credits his players for playing multiple sports and says that helps keep them in shape and work different muscle groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the girls getting into the weight room but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also about them playing other sports â&#x20AC;&#x201D; basketball, volleyball and soccer,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those other sports condition the girls and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big part of it. I think as many sports as they can play, the better shape theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in.â&#x20AC;?

The goal of any Ohio high school softball team is to make it to Akron for the state tournament. For the second year in a row, the Gibsonburg Golden Bears were one step away from getting to play in the final four. Gibsonburg outscored its opponents 59-15 in the Division IV tournament, including edging North Baltimore, 12-9, in the regional semifinals. The Bears (18-5) won their seventh consecutive Toledo Area Athletic Conference title and their fourth straight district championship, further establishing themselves as one of the top programs in Northwest Ohio. The win over the Tigers, which came after three blowout victories, got Gibsonburg, ranked sixth in Division IV, back to the regional final. A high-scoring affair saw the Bears take the lead for good at 8-7 in the bottom of the fifth when Libby Henderson hit a sacrifice fly to right field to score freshman Mariana Alejandro. Keely Snyder tied the game up in the at-bat before, hitting a double to center to score Emily Roberts and Ashley Mendoza. Snyder would later score on an error and Gibsonburg added three insurance runs in the sixth to increase the cushion. The game ended when Alejandro made a diving catch in right field with the bases loaded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talk about making a play if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there to be made, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy for (Alejandro),â&#x20AC;? said Gibsonburg coach Marty Brown, now in his fifth season at the helm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a real good hitting team. Today, we were able to scatter enough runs around to win. I would have to say up and down the lineup, one through nine, not just at the plate but on the field, they made plays. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very fortunate to get back to the regional final.â&#x20AC;? Last year, the Bears were undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the state before getting to within one out of the final four only to lose in eight innings to Carey, 5-3. Things start in the circle with Aubrey Fleming. The senior, who earned All-Ohio honors last year, is having another good season, going 18-5 with 96 strikeouts in 129.2 innings and an ERA of 3.40. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also done damage at the plate, hitting .486 to go with six home runs, 38 RBIs and 30 runs.The top batter has been Alejandro, who is hitting .556, followed by Henderson (.507, 4 HR, 26 RBIs, 35 runs), Jasmine McNett (.462, 7 HR, 25 RBIs, 30 runs) and Coral Kocsis (.452, 4 HR, 18 RBIs). Alejandro says she relishes her role as the leadoff hitter, but will do what it takes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Leading off) helps me set the tone of the game. I like leading off, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just glad to be here and play,â&#x20AC;? said Alejandro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter if I lead off or not. My job is to get on base. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This season has been so much fun. The varsity girls have taken me under their wings. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been such a great experience with the older girls and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be sad when the seniors leave.â&#x20AC;? Brown says Alejandro has added a new dimension to the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After seeing what she could face pitching,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we decided to put her in the one-hole, which has been a huge success for our team.â&#x20AC;? Gibsonburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five losses all came versus elite competition, including three

in Abby Cantrell (.585, 5 HR, 48 RBIs, 49 runs) and Allie Teeple (.467, 4 HR, 17 RBIs, 37 runs). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The three starters that we lost last year were three of the best players Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to coach,â&#x20AC;? said Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The drive that those seniors put to our underclassmen has made us the team we are today.â&#x20AC;?

competition and he liked being around his teammates. As soon as he was done with basketball, he came out the first day and pushed himself to the max at practice and he was lifting weights every single day.” Enright said Manders, a 2009 Stritch grad who played football and ran track at Baldwin-Wallace University from 2009 to 2012, was “convincing.” “Even when I told him I wasn’t going to run track my junior year, he said he understood that the weight room was important,” Enright said. “He was really supportive. I knew he was a great coach and a great guy, and I wanted to follow in his footsteps. I knew he would lead me in the

right direction.” Enright said he “kind of” regrets not competing with the track team last season. “Seeing how successful I was sophomore year and this year, if I would have run my junior year I would probably be even faster,” he said. “It probably would have helped me a little more.” Enright has had a solid spring. He took second in the 800 and anchored the Cardinals’ 4x800 relay team to a fourthplace finish at the TAAC championships. He also anchored the 4x400 relay. Enright won the 800 at the Northwest Ohio Catholic Schools Association meet in Norwalk, and he ran a career-best time of 2:02.56 at last

Success built on work ethics Manders was more than happy to have senior Hanna Hymore on the team this season. Hymore, he said, was like having another coach on his staff. “She’s also done a very good job of bringing along the underclassmen,” Manders said. “We get girls who want to do a sport but they lack a little bit of selfconfidence. Hannah talks to everyone. She really has an inclusive personality and is personable with everyone. “Her parents (David and Darcy) are great, and she has a sister (Olivia) who also competes on our team. Olivia originally was a distance runner but she came down

Shaun Enright always had his heart set on playing college football, so he wanted to focus on lifting weights in the months following his junior season at Cardinal Stritch. Getting bigger and stronger, he felt, was a smidge more important than running for the Cardinals’ track team. “I was trying to get in the weight room and follow my dreams of playing college football,” said Enright, who graduated from Stritch last Sunday with a 3.3 GPA. “I gained about 20 pounds to get up to 190 pounds. Then I thought, track can’t hurt me ...” Enright did not run track as a freshman, but he went out his sophomore year and turned out to be good at middle distance. He made it to regionals in the 800-meter run and won the Toledo Area Athletic Conference title that spring. “I coached him in freshman football and I suggested running track,” Stritch track coach Aaron Manders said. “He didn’t want to do it. He decided to come out for track as a sophomore and I was ecstatic. He was sharing time between AAU basketball and track, and he still made it to regionals. We were excited about his junior year.” Manders, however, was not brought back as a football coach at Stritch and Enright decided he wasn’t really enamored with track. He wanted to focus more on his future in football. “I told him I thought he was making a mistake,” Manders said, “but obviously it’s his decision.” Manders was hired as the head track coach after the 2017 track season, so he started getting in Enright’s ear to try to persuade him to come out for the team as a senior. “During basketball season I said, ‘I know you didn’t run last year and I understand if you don’t want to run this year, but I would be remiss not to ask you to come out this year,’ ” Manders said. “He said he missed the (track) atmosphere and the

week’s Division III district meet to advance to Friday’s regional meet in Tiffin. “The thing that separates Shaun from most guys who run the 400 and the 800 is he is what I would classify as a gamer,” Manders said. “He has a strategy in his own head, but when the gun goes off and someone’s decided to go out fast or up the pace, he just goes. When that last 100 meters comes around, that’s his. He has a level of will and determination that is rare to see at the high school level.” Enright said he’s thought about what it would mean to compete at the state meet in Columbus. “It would mean a lot to me,” he said. “According to our school records, only two 800 runners (from Stritch) have made it to state. I want to leave that as a legacy thing, to show what hard work could get me.” The 6-foot-2 Enright will get to realize his dream of playing college football. He was recruited to play quarterback at Siena Heights University, located in Adrian, Mich., next season, and he also plans to try out for the track team. Enright, the son of Shaun Sr., and Angie Enright, said he plans to major in criminal justice. “He’s a genuine kid,” Manders said. “What you see is what you get. He’s not going to mince words and tell you what you want to hear. He’s a quality, genuine kid and it’s rare to have a kid like that in your program.”

and helped in the 100, 200, 400 and 4x400. I’m sure if I would have asked her to hurdle, she would do that, too.” Hannah, who graduated on May 12 with a 4.17 GPA, grew up learning how to take care of someone – or something – other than herself. She will study veterinary medicine at Findlay University this fall. “I’ve always grown up around animals and horses, and I liked the way our vet cared for our horses,” Hymore said. “My parents owned Vail Meadows about five years ago and we’ve had horses all my life. We have four horses right now — a Clydesdale, an Appaloosa, a Perchron Friesian, and a Tennessee walking horse

who is more like my mom’s riding horse. It’s more like a family hobby.” Hymore won the shot put and placed fourth in the discus at the Toledo Area Athletic Conference meet on May 11. She also helped the 4x100 relay team finish fifth. Her winning throw in the shot was a career-best 30-11½. “It was very exciting,” said Hymore, who played on Stritch’s soccer team all four years. “A girl from Gibsonburg was supposed to win it. I was first going into the finals and I ended up throwing farther than her on my last throw, by a foot or a foot and a half. It was something new for me and something I accomplished and had never done before.” Hymore said she got involved throwing the shot in middle school. “My neighbor down the street did it

when he was in college and he was the middle school coach,” she said. “He got me interested in it and my parents wanted me to do it. I like it. It wasn’t too difficult, but it showed some aspects where you have to be athletic enough and kind of combine everything. I had a pretty decent season. Last year I could never get over 30 feet, and this year I was more consistent at hitting 30 feet.” Hymore added that she was more than happy to help bring the Cardinals’ younger competitors along. Manders called Hymore “extremely selfless.” “They (younger girls) all seemed like they had a good drive to become better,” Hymore said. “I’ve been coached in (track) for a while and I knew the technique and I knew how to show them from my coaches teaching me. I would just help the young-

er ones with the technique. I would teach the freshmen the spin for the discus or the glide for the shot.” Hymore said one of the Cardinals’ assistant coaches asked some of the throwers to try competing in some running events. Hymore gave it a shot, albeit reluctantly. “It was more toward the end of the season,” she said. “It was the fourth track meet and our throw coach wanted us to do a running event. Some other girls and I had pretty decent times and coach Manders said I was one of the faster girls, so we formed the 4x100. I don’t really like running, but the 100 is something I like to do because it’s not too much running — it’s just enough.” Hymore was unable to advance to the regional meet in Tiffin this week. She made it to the finals in the shot at the district meet at Sandusky Perkins and finished ninth.
