Oregon considers senior levy renewal Oregon City Council on Monday will decide whether to place the city’s senior levy on the November ballot for renewal. On Nov. 5, 2013, voters approved a .5 mill levy for the years 2014-2018. Collections began in 2014 and will continue through 2018. The levy was passed for the purpose of providing additional funds for senior services in the city. “We believe we have put that money to good use,” said Mayor Mike Seferian at a committee of the whole meeting last week. “There’s a demand for services for the senior center and we believe the public will support that.” “The funds are expended pretty consistently with the way that we anticipated when we presented it,” said City Administrator Mike Beazley. “Probably the biggest change is that there has been less costs associated with providing the health and wellness aspect of it. We’ve been partnering with local and regional hospitals that are providing many of the services we had expected to fund, free of charge or very little cost.”

“

The goal here was to make sure we were not just supplanting dollars that were already being provided.

This year, the city is looking at a couple of major projects, including improvements to the senior center building, and its parking lot, he said. “We partner on transport, we partner on Chore services, we do much more socialization in the facility. There’s so much more activity there than what was in our previous senior center,” he said. Controversy The levy was the source of controversy after it was learned by The Press that levy

campaign officials from the senior center had misinformed voters about a supposed shortage in funding it received from Oregon and Lucas County. Lucas County communities, including Oregon, were already paying for a county senior levy. The Area Office on Aging of Northwestern Ohio, Inc., distributed a percentage of revenue from that levy for Oregon senior services. Among the beneficiaries was the senior center, which received over $60,000 annually from the levy. In fact, the senior center had failed to use all the funds from the county levy because it had been underperforming in providing contracted services to seniors. The center simply did not use all the funding allocated by the AOoA. It was also claimed in senior levy campaign literature that the center had received less funds from the city, which was also inaccurate. The city had allocated the same amount as in previous years. As a result, Oregon had considered not collecting the revenue generated by the local senior levy. Expanded services Since then, the city has expanded se-

Last weekend, the Rossford sky was a mosaic of multicolored balloons as the Third Annual Glass City Balloon Race took front stage at the Crossroads Development on U.S. Route 20. The event was again organized by Jake and Jessica Tyler, the founders of the event, from nearby Waterville. They have been balloonist for the past ten years, flying all over the United States and as far away as The Philippines. With help from the Hollywood Casino and the City of Rossford, the Tylers made the event free and it was expected to draw as many as 30,000 spectators. The balloon teams were from as far away as Louisville, Kentucky. If you sit down with Brad Burdue, (a.k.a., The Balloon Wizard), you’ll not only receive background information on Burdue, but also an education on hot air balloon technology. Burdue lives in Whitehouse, but has important connections on the eastern side of the Maumee River. He graduated from the Macomber High School aeronautics program and then got a job working on airplanes for Crow Executive Air at Toledo Executive Airport, then known as Metcalf Field, on Lemoyne Road across from Lake High School. As Burdue gained experience, he got the opportunity to work on some of the owner’s balloons, which convinced him that he had to learn to fly them. He started taking lessons in 2008 and eventually got his license and a balloon of his own. Burdue has many years of experience and also has a license to transport others for hire, frequently flying passengers to various events over the local area. He has 30 years experience in the aeronautics field Continued on page 2

Balloon fest Continued from front page and now works at Toledo Express Airport, closer to his home in Whitehouse. Burdue’s balloon has an air volume of about 93,000 cubic feet. It is hard to imagine how big that is, but look at it this way, it would probably take about 100,000 basketballs to fill it when inflated. There are some commercial balloons that are as big as 150,000 cubic feet and have a basket that will hold as many as 15 passengers. Complicated engineering Burdue says preparation for a flight consists of unfolding the balloon on the ground and fastening it to the basket which is lying on its side with the burners facing the bottom balloon opening. The basket is attached to a heavy object, typically a trailer hitch on the chase vehicle. The bottom part of the balloon is held open and a generator-powered fan is used to push ambient temperature air into it. As the balloon begins to take shape, crew members will fasten a removable flap at what will be the very top of the balloon when it is upright. This flap is designed so that the pilot can pull on a rope to open it which will exhaust some of the hot gases and reduce lift. When the pilot lets go of the vent rope it automatically reseals. The next step is to fill the balloon with hot air. This is done by firing a propane flame toward and into the already inflated balloon. As the balloon begins to fill with hot air it will stand upright, and the crew will right the basket. The pilot will periodically fire the propane to keep sufficient air into the balloon to keep it upright but not enough to put too much strain on the ground tether. When everything is set the pilot gives the OK and again fires the propane burner to create the required lift, the ground tether is unfastened, and it’s up, up and away. Got all that? When Burdue talks about how he “steers” the balloon, he laughs and says, “It’s easy. I just go wherever the wind wants me to go. “The choices for avoiding a smokestack or TV tower are few. If you are on track to hit an object you must land, go over it or try to find a wind current with a direction different than the one you are in to move you to one side or another. Many do not realize that the wind direction may change every few hundred feet as you go up and you may be able to find a favorable breeze if you search.” Burdue said his favorite technique is to fly about 50 feet off of the ground. At that low altitude considerable skill is needed as he must constantly maneuver over trees and other tall objects. As for avoiding people, he said balloonists fly as if there were a 500-foot “bubble” around a person or object that might contain a person, house, car, bicycle, and so forth, which they must stay away from. Pilots usually will not take off if the wind speed is more than 10 miles-per-hour and do not fly higher than 6,000 feet. One would be surprised at how much weight a balloon carries, too. A small basket weighs about 250 pounds, the two propane tanks weigh 250 pounds and the balloon weighs 250 pounds. So Burdue’s balloon has a lifting capacity of 1,650 pounds, which leaves 900 pounds for pilot and passengers. Of course, this load is never approached for safety reasons. Burdue ex-

plains that he always leaves a safety margin and tests it just before takeoff. With the balloon only partially full of hot air and still tethered to the bumper hitch, while in the balloon, he will jump up to see how easily the balloon raises off of the ground. If he is not satisfied, someone needs to get out of the basket and ride in the chase truck. It’s kind of amazing that just by heating the air inside the balloon you can generate enough lift to raise all of this weight. The pilot has a thermometer to measure the

Burdue says landing the balloon is relatively easy and accomplished by carefully adjusting the amount of hot air vented at the top and the firing of the propane gas into the balloon.

Habitat opens another home

TMACOG forum

By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Habitat for Humanity of Wood County will hold an opening ceremony for its 38th home July 28 in Walbridge. The keys to the home at 223 Guy Street will be presented to Danielle Bowles. “The Village of Walbridge is excited to partner with Habitat for Humanity for this second build in the Village. It is a wonderful experience to see all the contractors, volunteers, and homeowner working together to build the beautiful home, Ed Kolanko, mayor of the village, said. “Habitat for Humanity is a great organization and we look forward to a continued relationship for future builds. We welcome the homeowner and her family to our community.” Mayor Kolanko and Mark Ohashi, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Wood County, completed the deed transfer for the Guy Street parcel last year. The village had assumed ownership of the property in 2015. At the time of the transfer, the mayor noted Habitat had completed its first home in Walbridge two years prior, calling it a success. Ohashi said the non-profit organization planned to build two new homes in 2018. “At Habitat for Humanity, we know that with just a little help, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build a better life for themselves and their families,” he said. Lake High School students were among the volunteers to help with the building of the home. In March, members of the school’s Students in Action club helped construct wall panels for the home and they hosted fundraiser that raised more than $300. Tonya Shauwecker, club adviser, said many Lake students were motivated to help others after seeing the devastation caused by the 2010 tornado that tore through Lake Township and western Ottawa County. The dedication for the Guy Street home will be held at 5:30 p.m. A cook-out for the volunteers and donors will follow.

Veterans Day The Ottawa County Veterans Service Office is partnering with Boy Scouts #316, Oak Harbor, to provide a free sandwich and drink to Ottawa County Veterans on Veterans Day at the Ottawa County Fair on Saturday, July 21.

Farmers critical of Kasich’s order By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Ohio Farmers Union is also questioning the logic of Gov. John Kasich’s executive order adopting more aggressive action by state agencies to reduce runoff from watersheds in Lake Erie’s western basin. The executive order targets eight watersheds in the western basin of Lake Erie that will be considered for designation under state law as “Watersheds in Distress,” based on their high nutrient levels, especially phosphorous, from agricultural runoff. “Gov. Kasich’s executive order may be well-intended, but it also seems to be a very tentative action that shifts the initiative to a broad, complex network of state agencies and commissions. Should those agencies and commissions decide to take aggressive action, the implications for farmers and for Lake Erie’s water quality could be profound,” said Joe Logan, OFU president. “When and if that happens, the governor, legislature or agency heads may need to face the need for adopting more straightforward actions such as common sense limitations on application rates for manure and fertilizer.” Named in the governor’s order are all or portions of the Platter Creek, Little Flat

Chateau Tebeau Winery Tasting Room ~ Wine ~ Cider ~ Beer Live Entertainment ~ Tours Enjoy Fresh Made

Rock Creek, Little Auglaize River, Eagle Creek, Auglaize River, Blanchard River, St. Marys River and Ottawa River watersheds. The OFU’s statement follows one by the Ohio Farm Bureau, which was quick to question the order, saying the governor has abandoned one of his most basic principles by announcing “unilateral regulation of farming practices” in an attempt to improve Lake Erie water quality. The OFB said the order was issued with “no conversation with Ohio’s agriculture community” and will include regulation of more than 2 million acres in northwest Ohio. The order “ignores the transparent and inclusive approach to the regulatory process Kasich promised with his ‘Common Sense Initiative,’” the OFB said. “Because the agricultural community was not included in the process, farmers are left with frustration and uncertainty on both the process and implications of this order.” The OFU’s Logan said the governor and legislature should consider adopting a concept such as “agronomic rate” application limits, which could be effective. For example, sludge application rates would provide the amount of nitrogen needed by the crop or vegetation grown on the land while minimizing the amount that passes below the root zone.

The summer caucus of TMACOG members, which will include a forum with state lawmakers from Ohio and Michigan, will be held Wednesday, Aug. 1 from 8 a.m.-12:45 p.m. at Penta Career Center in Perrysburg. In the caucus sessions, members meet with their peers to exchange information and form partnerships. Caucus groups will prepare questions to be presented at the panel of state lawmakers which follows. Caucus groups include counties, cities, villages, townships, school districts and colleges and universities, special districts and authorities, and non-governmental members. Current confirmed panelists include Sen. Randy Gardner – 2nd District, Ohio; Rep. Teresa Fedor – 45th District, Ohio; Rep. Theresa Gavarone – 3rd District, Ohio; Rep. Jim Hoops – 81st District, Ohio; Rep. Derek Merrin – 47th District, Ohio and Rep. Jason Sheppard – 56th District, Michigan. TMACOG President Tim Brown and TMACOG Chair and Wood County Commissioner Doris Herringshaw will offer brief remarks before the panel forum. Sponsors of the Summer Caucuses with State Lawmakers include AT&T, Penta Career Center, Perstorp Polyols, Inc., and Republic Services, Inc.

Oregon set to vote on property maintenance code Oregon City Council on Monday will vote on whether to establish a property maintenance code that would streamline notice provisions in response to nuisance complaints. The current code requires new notices for repeat nuisance violations. The code change would provide for a similar streamlined notice process as in the noxious weed and failure to cut grass code. Once a party has been put on notice, the change would streamline the process by no longer requiring multiple notices to be issued beyond the first 30 day notice. “Once I have been notified that I have a problem to maintain my property with noxious weeds or tall grasses, the city has to send me a certified letter and begin the 30 day notification process,” Administrator Mike Beazley explained at a committee of the whole meeting last week. “Then it starts over again every time the problem exists and I’m put on notice. The only place in our code where we have that expedited notice is for the grass program and noxious weeds.” Beazley said it has been a regular problem. “If I have a recurring nuisance problem

on my property, and fail to maintain it, the city gives me a notice, I stall, I wait, and just before the hammer is about to fall, I fix it. Then you wait until the problem happens again, and we start that same notification process. I can go through a whole year and never actually fix it or maintain it in a way that my neighbors are not very happy with,” he said. A good step “So once I have a recurring problem and I’ve been put on notice, I don’t have to make the city jump through a lot of hoops, or make my neighbors put up with a lot of drama. We think it’s a good step. There may be other steps we want to take,” he said. Oregon City Council late last year start-

ed discussions on establishing a property maintenance code. The city administration presented a draft ordinance to council that has been under review. The goal is to prevent property deterioration, to set minimum standards for maintenance and appearance, and to preserve safety, prevent fire hazards and eliminate blight to protect the neighborhood. “The conclusion was to fashion this code and begin it as a process to see how it works,” said Beazley. “We think it will work for both commercial and residential properties. There is no magic that works on this issue. But we think it’s a responsible step in light of what we saw as the greatest hindrance to a quick response to residents.” Respond quickly James Gilmore, commissioner of building and zoning, said the change “will allow us to respond quickly to repeat offenders.” “We can take two types of action on that. Either the city can choose to abate the nuisance themselves after the 30 days, or we can proceed to court,” he said. “Basically, it expedites the problem,” said Councilman James Seaman. “It stops us from spinning our wheels so that something does occur to improve the situation.” “It’s not going to be perfect,” said Beazley. “But it’s going to be a much better,

faster process.” Councilwoman Sandy Bihn asked Gilmore to define a nuisance. “You know a nuisance when you see it” said Gilmore. “There’s no absolute definition I can give you. Only that it would be offensive to the next door neighbors. That’s a judgment call. Because not everything the neighbor finds offensive I would always agree with.” “If it is something that reduces the use or enjoyment of other properties in the area,” said Beazley, “it is by law a nuisance. The challenge is, it’s a case by case definition. We believe we can set a standard the city can understand and we can follow. Our general goal in each case is to try and get compliance without court orders and abatement. And we’re pretty good with that.” Bihn asked Gilmore how many repeat offenders he is currently dealing with. “How many cases do you have right now of repeat offenders that this might help the neighbors?” “I don’t know how many active complaints we have right now,” said Gilmore. But we’ve had a lot of repeat offenders over the years. For instance, we order someone to clean up their yard of junk and debris. They clean it up. But they load it up again. I can’t give you a number. But there’s quite a few of them.” “I hope this works,” said Bihn.

P.J. Kapfhammer arrested for violating protection order By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com P.J. Kapfhammer, the former Oregon school board president, was arrested just after 2 a.m. on Monday, July 16, for violating a TPO (temporary protection order) placed on him after an incident in June. According to the police report, Mike O’Connor, an off-duty Oregon Police officer, called Sgt. Ken Reno, at 1:45 a.m. to report he had seen Kapfhammer drive by his home. The report states that 20 minutes later, Reno did witness Kapfhammer drive by O’Connor’s home. Kapfhammer was stopped in the 4000

block of Navarre Avenue and arrested. According to the report, Kapfhammer, at the time, told the sergeant that he did not know that he could not drive by the victim’s (O’Connor’s) house. K a p f h a m m e r P.J. Kapfhammer was transported to the Lucas County Jail, the report states. He was released after posting a $50,000 cash bond. Kapfhammer was ordered to wear a GPS Monitoring Device as well as pay for

his daily monitoring. The TPO was a result of an incident that took place June 23 at The Den, 5781 Corduroy Rd. The report states O’Connor was with friends in the bar when Kapfhammer approached him and grabbed him in the face and neck area. Kapfhammer, according to the report, shoved O’Connor’s head into the wall, causing a laceration to O’Connor’s head and breaking his eyeglasses. According to the report, Kapfhammer made threats to O’Connor, including, stating he would kill him. O’Connor was off duty at the time. O’Connor did not seek medical attention, the report states. According to the report, Kapfhammer fled the scene. He did turn himself into

Oregon Municipal Court June 25 and was charged with assault and aggravated menacing. The court ordered the TPO as well as requiring Kapfhammer to turn in his CCW (conceal carry weapon) permit as well as his weapons. Kapfhammer also posted a $5,000 bond at the time. Reached by phone, Kapfhammer stated he could not comment due to personal reasons. Oregon Judge Louis S. Kovacs, has recused himself. The case has been assigned to Judge Mary Grace Trimboli. A pre-trial for the assault and menacing charges is scheduled for Aug. 14 in Toledo Municipal Court.

Oregon considers local senior levy renewal Continued from front page nior services. The city also made good on a pledge to find a more central location for a new senior center. Previous administrations had promised to relocate the senior center, which was located on Bayshore Road in a very small building, but had failed to deliver. In 2014, the city purchased a building on Navarre Avenue near Pearson Metropark for the new senior center. Beazley mentioned the levy’s questionable beginnings during the meeting last week. .“What’s kind of unusual about this is that the administration and council didn’t really drive this levy,” said Beazley. “The senior community came to us and asked us to put it on the ballot. There was some controversy at the time. It did get strong community support. We think the dollars have been used well. As our senior population

Outreach Councilwoman Sandy Bihn said she thought there was a goal to use more revenue from the senior levy for outreach to people’s homes with cleaning assistance so that seniors could stay in their homes longer rather than go to assisted living or nursing homes.

services for seniors living at home. “We see that as growing,” said Beazley. “We thought it would be more economical to partner with the East Toledo Senior Center, which already had a model on a sliding scale. We use that same scale. We contract with them for the service and it works well for us. That seems to be an area where we’ve had more demand - and for transportation - than almost anything else.” Beazley said the city had originally expected revenue from the local levy to generate about $190,000 annually. It is now estimated to generate $225,000 per year. “If it passes, one of the questions we’ll be asking is, `Are there additional services or in-home services we should be doing?’ If we’re looking for partners or agencies that are doing in-home care, there are sliding scales available, which will be among the things under consideration,” said Beazley.

A fatal crash involving a pedestrian in Ottawa County is under investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Troopers responded about 8:37 a.m. on July 17 to a report of a man lying in a ditch along the Ohio Turnpike in Harris Township. When they arrived on the scene the man was unresponsive and a commercial semi-tractor trailer nearby was determined to be involved. The pedestrian, James C. Williams, 40, Toledo, was walking along the south shoulder of the eastbound lanes when he was struck, sustaining fatal injuries. The driver, Edward D. Syphan, 67, Hermitage, Pa., was operating a 2016 Freightliner semi-tractor trailer. He wasn’t injured.

ages, we’ll continue to put those dollars to use.” Oregon is one of the few communities in which residents pay for both a local senior levy and a county senior levy. . “We draw down the county dollars first,” before local monies are spent, explained Beazley. “The goal here was to make sure we were not just supplanting dollars that were already being provided. We wanted to expand services.”

Officer indicted

People

Real Estate Transfers

A federal grand jury last week unsealed an indictment charging Elâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shawn Williams, an officer in the Put-in-Bay Police Department, with using excessive force against a man in custody, and then making false statements and writing false reports to cover it up. The indictment alleges that Williams, 28, punched and struck the victim multiple times in the head and body, causing him bodily injury. The indictment alleges that after the incident, Williams wrote a report that falsely minimized the force he used and failed to disclose that he struck the victim after the victim was restrained by another officer. It also alleges that Williams gave a false statement to an Ottawa County detective denying that he punched the victim, denying that he struck him in the face, and denying that he struck him after the victim was restrained by another officer. If convicted, Williams faces a maximum punishment of 10 years imprisonment for the excessive force charge and up to 20 years imprisonment for each obstruction charge. An indictment is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

Inspirational Message of the Week: The Least of Your Brothers? It can be tempting to judge ourselves by how we respond to those who treat us well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to be kind to those who are kind to us. But perhaps a more accurate moral assessment can be made by looking at how we respond to those who treat us poorly. There are many ways in which people can mistreat us, from lying to us, to insulting us, to ignoring us, to stealing from us, and even to abusing us physically or emotionally. How we respond to these insults is probably the best measure of our character. How we behave in times of health and prosperity says very little about us. How we behave in

Northwood

times of sickness and adversity speaks volumes about our character. Courage stands out on the battlefield when bullets are flying and not during target practice. So perhaps at the end of each day we should reflect on how we treated those difficult co-workers or clients, and how we dealt with the people we consider unworthy of our kindness. Thank God for the opportunity to test your mettle by giving you difficult people in your daily life. They truly are the least of your brothers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Matthew 25:40

To help preserve high quality resources in Ohio, Ohio EPA’s Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Program (WRRSP) will help fund conservation projects locally. They include: •Kitty Todd-Bettinger Restoration, Lucas County. The Nature Conservancy will purchase up to 405 acres of cultivated land and restore it to wet prairie and wooded wetlands. Much of the property is bordered by The Nature Conservancy’s existing Kitty Todd Preserve and Toledo Metropark holdings. The property is in the sensitive Oak Openings region within the Ai Creek watershed, and proximate to the Irwin Prairie State Nature Preserve. •Bay Point, Ottawa County. Funding will help the Western Reserve Land Conservancy preserve approximately 65 acres of Lake Erie coastal habitat, including 34 acres of unmodified, high quality shoreline wetlands and unique beach and sand dune habitat harboring rare plant species and hosting 80 different bird species, including migratory birds. Ohio EPA’s state revolving fund (SRF) loans are provided to communities to build and upgrade wastewater and drinking water infrastructure, upgrade home sewage treatment systems, better manage storm water, address combined sewer overflows and implement other water qualityrelated projects. Financial assistance helps support planning, design and construction activities and enhances the technical, managerial and financial capacity of these systems. WPCLF loans also make possible the restoration and protection of some of Ohio’s highest quality water bodies through the fund’s Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Program. Ohio’s SRF loan programs are partially supported by annual federal capitalization grants and have grown substantially over time because of the revolving nature of the loan issuance and payments back into the fund. The SRF programs are managed by Ohio EPA’s Division of Environmental and Financial Assistance, with assistance from the Ohio Water Development Authority. More information about Ohio EPA’s loan funds is available at: epa.ohio.gov/defa/ EnvironmentalandFinancialAssistance. aspx

In celebration of the Bicentennial of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, the Ohio Northwest Ordinance and U.S. Constitution Bicentennial Commission developed the Spirit of ‘87 Awards Program. The awards were established to recognize and honor citizens at the local level whose daily actions embody the principles set forth in the Northwest Ordinance. Nominations were taken in six different categories directly related to the Ordinance. Every Ohio community was able to participate in the program and local Spirit of ‘87 Award honorees qualified for statewide recognition. In 1988 the Commissioners decided to continue with the awards to honor the service of Wood County citizens.

Is it really chaos or community in immigration policy? By Andrew Moss If you scan the internet for immigration-related news stories following the Trump administration’s May 7 announcement of its “zero tolerance” border policy, you’ll find the word “chaos” coming up time and time again. Here, for example, is a July 10 headline from my hometown paper, the Los Angeles Times: “First wave of migrants is reunited: amid chaos and legal clashes, U.S. returns 38 of 102 children to parents but misses deadline set by judge.” In this headline the Times editors used the word “chaos” to allude to several kinds of disorder depicted in the news story: the suffering of 64 families with children under 5 who were still separated from their parents, the anguish and anxiety facing another 2000-3000 children ages 5-17 who had yet to be reunited with their parents, and the general uncertainty produced by constant fluctuations in government policy and actions. If there was any pattern to this chaos, it was identified by U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee, who rejected the administration’s effort to extend the amount the time that children could be detained. In explaining her July 9 ruling, Judge Gee described the administration’s effort as a “cynical attempt... to shift responsibility to the Judiciary for over 20 years of Congressional inaction and ill-considered Executive action that have led to the current stalemate.” Judge Gee pinpointed a crucial fact about the current situation. President

Guest Editorial Trump has steered immigration policy to new heights of cruelty and turmoil, but our immigration system has been vexed by serious problems long before he came into office. Though the judge didn’t address broader issues of policy in her ruling, her critique still provokes consideration of a basic question: how do we find our way out of the chaos facing us today? A number of commentators have argued that it’s essential we first come to terms with U.S. involvements in Central America that helped stoke the political instability and violence impelling people to journey northward in search of safety and livelihood. They point, for example, to the CIA involvement in the 1954 coup that overthrew Guatemala’s democratically elected government, and to the subsequent U.S. military involvement in a civil war (1960-1996) that claimed 200,000 lives. Similarly, the U.S. provided significant military aid to a right-wing government in El Salvador responsible for killings, kidnappings, and torture during a devastating civil war (1980-1992) that claimed more than 75,000 lives. During these conflicts and in ensuing decades, thousands of people fled to the U.S. Now, as thousands more

arrive at our borders fleeing violence, often inflicted by gangs incubated in the U.S. and stimulated abroad by our own harsh deportation policies, they argue that homeland security should be guided by a firm sense of global responsibility rather than the fear and amnesia binding us ever more tightly in the confining walls of a garrison state. University of Southern California professor Roberto Suro noted that President Trump has submitted budget requests for immigration enforcement and detention ($26 billion) and for a border wall ($18 billion) that almost match the gross domestic product of El Salvador and Honduras combined ($46 billion). As he said in a recent New York Times column, “a fraction of the enforcement budget well spent on economic development...would be a better use of taxpayer dollars than trying to intercept people in flight at a militarized border and then criminalizing them.” But more than responsibility is needed as a foundational value for homeland security. Justice is needed as well. More than 50 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. published his fourth and final book, “Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? “ In that book, he addressed the interconnected evils of racism, militarism, and economic injustice, not only in the context of American society, but in a global sense as well. In his final chapter, “The World House,” he discussed the technological and scientific changes that have made human societies throughout the world ever more interdependent – and that have heightened expectations for human rights and dignity.

Don’t let life’s obstacles overwhelm you Participants in an obstacle course race know, before they even start, that they will be facing a variety of challenges. Their preparation includes training designed to help them successfully conquer whatever obstacles are encountered. Each participant wants to be ready, both mentally and physically, on the day of the race. An effective training regimen significantly boosts their chances of winning. Just completing the course requires planning, desire, and discipline. The contestants know the course will be difficult. They don’t complain when encountering the unexpected. They don’t whine because the course takes effort. Every contestant understands that preparation, conditioning, and determination are essential components for successfully completing each race. Life is its own type of obstacle course. You will encounter unexpected and unknown challenges. Life requires effort, determination, and resolve. Adequate preparation boosts your success. There are no shortcuts. Obstacles, challenges, and problems are part of life. Your time is best spent finding solutions. Any effort expended complaining is wasted. You are responsible for your performance in life. The decisions you make and the actions you take, combined with your thoughts, all determine the results you achieve. Your life preparation begins with a can-do attitude of determination. You must be willing to put in whatever effort is necessary to achieve success. Success is virtually impossible without this commitment. Leaving the course at the first obsta-

Golden Advice

by Bryan Golden cle guarantees failure. Your mental toughness is enhanced with positive, reinforcing self-talk. These conversations with yourself program your mind for success. Tell yourself, “I can and will overcome whatever obstacles I encounter,” “I will find the solution which exists for each problem,” “I will never give up,” and “I will persist until I reach my objective.” Practice is how you become good at overcoming obstacles. An obstacle course athlete seeks out challenging obstacles to train on. He or she does not look for an easy, adversity free route. So rather than viewing obstacles as something to be avoided, welcome each one as an opportunity to become stronger. Not everything you attempt will work as planned. You learn more from your mistakes than when things work out perfectly. When an athlete discovers an obstacle they can’t initially get past, they keep working on that challenge until they have mastered it. It doesn’t matter how long this process takes, they keep at it until they get it. Whenever you get stuck on an obstacle, unable to make any progress, you need to investigate taking a different approach. Tenacity must be combined with intelligence. Work smart first, and then work

hard at it. Your abilities grow as you overcome each obstacle. This process prepares you for achieving more challenging goals. Never settle for a particular goal simply because it’s easily achieved. Anything worthwhile takes effort. Set your sights high. There will be people who are cheering you on, rooting for your success. They will stand by you offering encouragement. These people strengthen your confidence. Their support provides you with an extra boost of energy. A cheering crowd is electrifying. Also, in the crowd may be people who are booing. These negative individuals don’t believe you can succeed. Some of them might even be hoping you fail. Ignore anyone who doesn’t support you. Giving them any attention detracts from your success. You will receive lots of advice as to how you should train. Just about everyone you encounter seems to have an opinion about what you are, or should be doing. Individuals who have successfully run the obstacle course you are facing, are the ones who have valuable insights to offer. You can successfully complete any obstacle course. You don’t have to be the fastest, you just need to finish. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www. BryanGolden.com or your bookstore.

When he published “Where Do We Go From Here?” in 1967, the U.S. had no detention system for migrants. Such a system, driven by the profit motive and rife with human rights abuses, wouldn’t come into place until the 1980s. Now, more than 50 years later, it’s time to abolish that system and begin realizing the global promise of a just and interdependent society that Dr. King had envisioned. Are there sane and sound alternatives to detention? Yes, there are, and they’ve been proven to work in community accompaniment programs around the country that have supported migrants seeking asylum, seeking a place in American society. (For further information, see the website for the organization, “Freedom for Immigrants”: https://www. freedomforimmigrants.org/). As he often did in his writings, King concluded his book with a challenge. Invoking the power of nonviolence, he declared, “We still have a choice today: nonviolent coexistence or violent co-annihilation. This may well be mankind’s last chance to choose between chaos and community.” That choice, in a different time and in a different context, is still before us today.

Return of smallbore matches makes history at Camp Perry

& Child Care

By Ashley Brugnone CMP Writer celder@thecmp.org The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) staff members not only marked the return of National Matches smallbore events in July, but they did so with flare as they fired the first-ever National Matches smallbore competition at Camp Perry using an innovative electronic scoring technology – designed specifically for the new line of smallbore competitions. A staple during the National Matches season for over half a century, the National Rifle Association, which conducted the smallbore series of events in the past, packed up the discipline and removed it from the Camp Perry National Match schedule in 2014 to organize at another location. After much discussion amongst competitors and staff members, a fresh line of smallbore matches, this time conducted by the CMP, came to fruition through the efforts of many CMP personnel, including match director Brad Donoho. “We had a lot of competitors who wanted smallbore to return to Camp Perry, and we had too many people asking us to run our own smallbore matches at Camp Perry, just so they can come back,” he said. “This year, we tried to give everybody the opportunities they were used to at Camp Perry and try to stay true to history while also being innovative at the same time. I think with the schedule that we have, we’ve done that.” The CMP’s new National Matches Smallbore series kicked off on July 17 on Camp Perry’s Rodriguez Range with the Three-Position Day 1 event. Competitors in the event fired 40 shots onto paper targets at three positions: prone, kneeling and standing. With that many shots piercing through an entire line of targets, the task of scoring can become daunting. “The biggest bottleneck when it comes to shooting paper targets is how do you quickly and efficiently, and accurately, score all of those targets?” said Donoho. The answer to the problem was, as any other in this technological day-and-age, a device app.

Targets from each firing point are kept by verifiers in case challenges are presented. (CMP photo) Orion Scoring System, which has partnered with CMP on the smallbore events, developed scoring software that can read shots by simply snapping a photo of the target from a handheld device. The photo in the app links directly to the Orion Scoring system, which then identifies shots on the target and scores accordingly. Once all firing was completed for each stage at the National Matches events, range officers on the line walk downrange with a device in hand that contain the Orion Scoring System app. The new scoring system drastically slashed competition time while also easing the scoring element for both competitors and match workers. After the snapshots were taken, shooters were given permission to handle the targets and remove them from the target frame, all while scoring was already taking place in another location. CMP verifiers reviewed the targets on computers before posting the results online, all in a matter of minutes.

Mobile Meals seeking volunteers to deliver meals Crime Prevention backAreto you interested in giving your community? If so, Corner Mobile Meals of Toledo needs you. Mobile Meals is looking for by Ron Craig

Seniors are target for many scams There is a reason seniors find themselves as targets for scams. Simply put, it comes down to their trusting nature. Those who perpetrate scams know seniors are sometimes easy prey because of this level of trust. Not only does this factor make seniors targets for an initial scam, it makes them more likely to keep shelling out more money once they get hooked into a scheme. For example, if scammers are successful at getting someone to send them money, they usually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop there. They will keep finding reasons the victim needs to send them more money. This may continue until the senior runs out of money or finally realizes he or she has been had. When we discuss â&#x20AC;&#x153;moneyâ&#x20AC;? in this sense, it is not usually cash, but rather money transfers such as Western Union or gift cards. Many scammers ask their victims to buy gift cards such as iTunes, Vanilla Visa or Mastercard gift cards, or Green Dot Visa or Mastercard gift cards. Scammers have found ways to easily and quickly turn these cards into cash. One scam involves sending the victim a phony check for a large amount to someone, asking the victim to send them money back. It is only after the victim has sent the scammer money that the victim finds out the check he or she got was bogus. Another scam that targets seniors is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;grandma and grandpaâ&#x20AC;? scheme, in which a caller pretends to be a grandson or granddaughter of the person getting the call. He or she says they have run into a problem in which they are facing jail time if the grandmother or grandfather doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t send money right away. Many times, the caller will beg the grandmother or grandfather not to tell other relatives because he is embarrassed about the situation. The caller will usually put on the phone someone else purporting to be an authority holding the grandson or granddaughter. This is done to limit the time the alleged grandson or granddaughter is on the phone and thus limits the time the victim has to tell the caller is really not a relative. Because most of these schemes are initiated from outside the United States or from scammers that frequently move from city to city, it is all but impossible for the authorities to catch up with them. Not all scams are done by phone, however. There are scams done locally by someone promising to do repair work, tree trimming, driveway work, sidewalk repair and painting. We have covered these scams in an earlier publication of Crime Prevention Corner. One scam we have not covered in the past involves rental property scams. Not all seniors own their own homes and rent instead. Rental property scams are everywhere, and seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; trusting nature also makes them vulnerable to these scams. In Lake Township, we recently had a case in which someone gave multiple checks to an individual for rent of a local property, but it turned out that person did not actually own the property in question. Similar rental property scams occur over the internet, where a property is advertised and prospective renters send funds for a deposit to hold it until the victim can view the property and sign a lease. In most of these cases, the property in question is priced very low, making it very tempting for someone looking for a nice place for not a lot of money. If you are checking the internet for a rental property, many of the fake ads are easy to spot as the photos of the property have writing across them as if they are copies of a cover of a magazine. To avoid internet property scams, check local newspaper listings, where scams are much less prevalent. Contacting a local rental property management company is another option.

Does the popularity of gluten-free benefit everyone? If the number of gluten-free products stocking store shelves and appearing on restaurant menus are any indication, then the general public has embraced gluten-free living. Many people eat gluten-free diets despite not having Celiac disease, which is a condition that requires people to avoid gluten. However, a voluntary gluten censorship may not be all that it’s cracked up to be. Less than 1 percent of Americans are gluten-intolerant or afflicted with Celiac disease. Despite this, the popularity of gluten-free diets tripled between 2013 and 2014, according to reports from The Kitchn. Although people who are sensitive to gluten may feel better avoiding it, Dr. Daniel A. Leffler, director of clinical research at the Celiac Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, has said others will derive no significant benefit from gluten avoidance and will simply waste money buying the more expensive gluten-free alternatives. People with perceived gluten sensitives may not have aversions to gluten at all. According to a study conducted by Monash University and published in 2013, people with self-reported non-celiac glu-

A gluten-free diet, like this buscotti, isn’t necessarily a healthy one. While such a diet may be necessary for those with Celiac disease, unless a doctor has determined a person needs to avoid gluten, it is wise to include whole grains in a balanced diet. ten sensitivity, gluten only caused negative symptoms when subjects knew they were eating it. When they believe the food to be something else, participants experienced no symptoms. Other medical experts say that gluten may not be to blame for sensitivity, which may be a result of fermentable, poorly absorbed, short-chain carbohydrates (FODMAPs), like grains, beans, dairy, and

some fruits. By removing the grain (gluten included), affected individuals feel better, thinking gluten is to blame. Those with no reason to avoid gluten could be putting their health at risk by skipping wheat and other grains. A recent study from Harvard Medical School says those who avoid gluten may be harming their heart health. The study, which tracked the eating habits of 64,714 women and 45,303

men over a period of 26 years, found that long-term avoidance of gluten in adults sometimes caused the reduced consumption of heart-healthy whole grains that affect cardiovascular risk. Study leader Andrew Chan said that individuals who consumed the lowest levels of dietary gluten had a 15 percent higher risk of heart disease. The study concluded that the promotion of gluten-free diets among people for whom it is deemed medically unnecessary to avoid gluten should not be encouraged. There may be other reasons to continue to eat gluten. A study published in The British Journal of Nutrition, titled, “Effects of a gluten-free diet on gut microbiota and immune function in healthy adult human subjects,” found a gluten-free diet may adversely affect gut flora and immune function. This potentially puts people at risk for an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in their intestinal biome. Another study published in Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry found that gluten may boost immune function. After roughly a week on added gluten protein, subjects experienced increased natural killer cell activity, which could be helpful in improving the body’s ability to fight viral infections and cancer.

Audiologist answers questions about hearing, aural health By Rebecca Krukemyer, Au.D. Portage Valley Hearing Q: What causes my ears to itch? A: I get asked that quite frequently. The two most common causes of itching ears are 1) infection of the outer ear canal and 2) excessive cleaning of the ears. Wax serves a protective purpose. It prevents the ear canal from drying out. Removing all of the wax allows the skin to dry and dry skin is itchy skin. Avoid using Q-tips, car keys, bobby pins to scratch or clean your ears. It removes the wax and causes itching. Q: Why is it that those experiencing

hearing loss don’t immediately notice the problem? A: The main reason is that hearing loss is usually gradual. As with so many things in life, when changes take place slowly we tend not to notice them. Secondly, people don’t know what they don’t hear. When normal everyday sounds slowly fade it’s easy to forget what it should sound like. Until a person gets hearing aids, there is no point of comparison. It is interesting to hear my patients, those who are fit with new hearing aids for the first time, talk about the things they didn’t realize they were missing. For example, recently I had a patient report that he was surprised to hear

his turn signal again since he forgot that it made a ticking noise. Q: My mom got hearing aids a few months ago and its seems as though she still struggles to hear what I said. Do the hearing aids need to be turned up? A: Not necessarily. Sometimes patients need to have their hearing instruments tweaked a bit before they sound just right. However, if your mother has diminished speech clarity then the hearing instruments are not going to make her understand what you are saying. The hearing aids will help with that to some extent but you need to remember that they are an aid. In order to

help her understand what you are saying there are a few things that will help. First, preface what you are saying by stating her name at the beginning so that she is aware that you are speaking to her. For example, you could say “Mom, are you going to meet Jennifer for lunch tomorrow?” Second, you should always face your mother when you are speaking to her. Even those with normal hearing struggle to hear what is being said when the speaker is facing away from them. Have more questions? Contact Rebecca Krukemyer, Au.D. at Portage Valley Hearing, 133 E.

Betty and Virgil Roecker

Roeckers celebrate 67 years Virgil and Betty Roecker celebrated 67 years of marriage July 17. The couple, of Williston, was among four long-married couples featured in a Press story in 2001. The story, written by the late Rick Waldron, detailed the four Roecker brothers – Virgil, Wilson, Milton and Bob – who told of family values instilled by their parents John and Ida. Virgil and Betty were married July 17, 1951. They are the parents of daughters Robin Tuttle, of Columbus and Terry McCrosky, of Genoa, and the late David Roecker. Virgil, now 88, retired after 30 years at AP Parts. Betty, 85, shared her husband’s longevity on the job, working at USCO in Port Clinton for 26 years.

The Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman, a division of the Ohio Department of Aging, has released results of the 2017 Long-Term Care Resident Satisfaction Survey. The survey, conducted through faceto-face interviews with residents of nursing homes and residential care (assisted living) facilities, gauges residents’ satisfaction with an array of focus areas related to their care and everyday life. The statewide average score for resident satisfaction in nursing homes was 77.8 (out of 100). The statewide average score for resident satisfaction in assisted living facilities was 85.2 (out of 100). Little Sisters of the Poor, Oregon ranked 17th in the Top 25 Ohio Nursing Homes for Overall Resident Satisfaction with a score of 90.97. Full facility-specific satisfaction survey reports are available on the Long-Term Care Consumer Guide website (www.ltc. ohio.gov). “For a decade and a half, the LongTerm Care Consumer Guide has helped older Ohioans and their families make one of the most difficult and important decisions in their lives or that of a loved one,” said Erin Pettegrew, Acting State Long-Term Care Ombudsman. “The guide and its annual satisfaction surveys are also valuable resources for facility staff and leadership as they continue to reach toward a higher bar for quality.” “We sometimes forget that these facilities are ‘home’ for those who live there. Residents deserve their homes to be as responsive to their needs and reflective of their interests and values as possible,” added Beverley Laubert, Interim Director of the Department of Aging. “Scores in this and other surveys show us that person-centered care not only drives customer satisfaction upward, but also leads to higher quality of life and better health outcomes.”

The 2017 Long-Term Care Resident Satisfaction Survey was conducted between July and December 2017 by Vital Research, LLC, through a competitive contract with the Department of Aging. Surveyors conducted structured face-to-face interviews with a random sample of residents in each facility. A total of 23,145 residents in 963 nursing homes and 12,849 residents of 687 assisted living facilities were interviewed. Slightly more than half of each type of facility (501 nursing homes and 357 assisted living) scored above the statewide average. In addition to overall satisfaction, the survey measures how well specific aspects of the facility meet the residents’ needs and expectations. Areas explored include environment, choice and quality of meals, safety, care, staff and how residents spend their time, along with others. In both types of facilities, residents were most satisfied with the environment (e.g., cleanliness, privacy) and care. Lower satisfaction was reported with meals and how residents spend their time. “With this data, we can help facilities focus on areas that are most important to the people they serve,” Pettegrew said. “Quality care is a partnership between the facility, the resident, family members and advocates like ombudsmen.” In 2018, the State Ombudsman’s office is surveying family members of nursing home and assisted living residents. Results of the 2016 Family Satisfaction Survey are currently available in the Long-Term Care Consumer Guide. Volunteers are another way the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman advocates for consumers and helps nursing homes. If you would like to volunteer to visit with nursing home and assisted living residents and help them resolve issues with their care, call the State Ombudsman’s office at 1-800-282-1206 or visit www.stepup.ohio. gov.

Threshing wheat The 58th Annual Five Point Steam Threshers reunion was July 15 on Five Point Road. At right, wheat is harvested by old-fashioned techniques. Local farmers gather into shocks and the dry shocks are collected in wagons and brought to the reunion to be threshed by old-fashioned steam-powered machines (right). The annual reunion provides an opportunity for city and country folk of all ages to experience life on the farms of yesteryear. Demonstrations took place throughout the day as classic autos, trucks, and tractors (lower photos) dot the landscape. (Photos by Dave Spengler/www.Davey1.com)

Otterbein homes launches new brand identity, logo and website The former Otterbein Senior Lifestyle Choices last month announced the launch of a new ministry-wide brand identity. The new branding includes a new name, Otterbein SeniorLife, and a new modern logo. In addition, an updated ministry-wide

website was also introduced (www.otterbein.org). The new logo and website represent all Otterbein ministries and locations, including Otterbein Pemberville. Otterbein created the new name and logo with two goals in mind. The first was

to refresh and modernize the ministry name and logo to a more contemporary design in line with growth and innovations happening in the organization. The second was to eliminate the color coding, previously used to represent the differences in the Otterbein

ministries, and establish a single name and image to clearly represent the integration of all Otterbein ministries. Otterbein chose to represent the faith-based organization with a prominent cross as the intersecting point of the traditional infinity symbol.

A prep football player’s summer can be demanding By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It’s all about weightlifting, camps, 7-on-7s, two-a-days, and film sessions. That’s part of the summer routine for a high school football player, and it plays a key role in helping build and develop team unity and chemistry in preparation for the season. In fact, some John Galyas believe that championships are won and lost during the summer while a team undergoes that preparation. “(Offseason workouts) are extremely important. When you look back on your football career, at the time you’re doing it, you don’t like going through football practice and some of the lifting sessions and it’s tough, but later on you say, ‘I miss those times with my teammates,’” said Clay coach John Galyas. “It builds team chemistry. When you sweat together and work hard together and accomplish something, it goes a long way towards building those bonds for the players.” Northwood’s Ken James, the dean of area football coaches, says 7-on-7 competition plays a major role in preparing for the fall, even though the Rangers usually line up in the wishbone and run the football more than pass. The 7-on-7 summer passing tournaments have become a staple of offseason high school football, with some drawing regional and even national competition. “From a timing standpoint, quarterbacks get used to throwing the ball on time and getting rhythm with their receivers and reading coverage. But there’s always a false sense of security because a wide receiver could go over the middle and not get hit, so it’s not always realistic,” said James, who

(Press file photo by Don Thompson/Facebook.com/DNRsports) will enter his 33rd season as the Rangers coach this fall. “We don’t give our quarterback a lot of time to get rid of the ball. We try to make it as realistic as we can in terms of the time he has to throw the ball.” James says the passing game has taken off in recent years, even in high school football. If you’re not using it on offense, you still have to defend it. He says that’s not necessarily a bad thing. “There’s a lot more throwing now, games take longer and now start at 7 p.m. We’ve played games that last three-and-ahalf hours. It’s not three-yards-and-a-cloud of dust anymore,” he said. “It is fun for kids. It can be a little more fun than normal, one-on-one, in-the-trenches football can be. It’s beneficial to keep kids interested and enjoying the game.”

Rollin’ Food & Farmers Market Aug. 1, 5-8 PM

Oak Harbor’s Mike May, now in his 11th season coaching the Rockets, says his players’ summer regimen is designed to prepare players for the upcoming season. “The summer is an important time of year for preparing for the upcoming football season. We promote our kids to play other sports, so in June we lift three days a week in the mornings and we don’t have camps until after the Fourth of July,” he said. “Most of our players are busy with camps for wrestling, basketball, and baseball in June.” May’s team typically uses a winged-T offense, but remains adamant that 7-on-7s play an important role. The 7-on-7 experience can even be done in a scrimmage format, which he prefers over the tournament format. “The 7-on-7 competitions are benefi-

cial for working on the passing game. In my opinion, they are more productive to compete with one other team instead of going to large tournaments,” he said. “It allows us to do more coaching.” Like Galyas, May believes that working together during the summer helps the players bond. “We have our team select six players to serve as captains through the summer. The captains then draft the rest of the players into teams. Our coaching staff will then select captains for the season from the summer captains based on the job they do leading their respective teams,” May said. “Team unity is one of the most important aspects of any football team. The best time to build that and solidify it is during the summer months.” The teams lift weights throughout the summer and have 10 days to work together in July before two-a-days begin. Two-adays typically begin in August, but this year they’ll start on July 30. Meanwhile, the players are already learning the playbook. “The one nice thing is we get our 10 days in the summer before we start two-adays. Those are install days where we have to review things,” said Galyas. “We start July 30 and our first game is August 24, which isn’t a lot of time. We have our first scrimmage on August 11 and our second one is August 17. What you’re trying to do in those first two weeks is install the playbook for offense, defense and special teams. It’s about finding out who is getting things done, and who’s not. It’s critical.” The coaches have their own playbook to study — the 10 opponents on the regular season schedule. “It’s also a time for players and coaches to review their opponents’ tendencies by watching film. We are always busy watching film regardless of the time of year,” said May. There will be 718 schools across Ohio that will begin high school football practice on Monday, July 30. Last year, 42,878 high school student-athletes played football in Ohio, the most participants among the OHSAA’s 26 sanctioned sports.

Clay’s Coughlin newest NCAA D-I recruit By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Oregon has become a factory for college volleyball programs. There are more than enough collegiate volleyball players from Oregon to start an entire team, and many are at the NCAA Division I level. Some are even stars in their own right, like Bowling Green State University senior Kallie Seimet (Clay), a 5-foot-8 libero who was the 2017 Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Year. Or, Michigan State University 5-6 sophomore defensive specialist and libero Jamye Cox (St. Ursula), who was a starter for the Spartans last year as a freshman and helped her team to the NCAA D-I Elite Eight. Most of these Oregon athletes played for coach Dave Conley at Clay, but a significant number played their prep volleyball at St. Ursula Academy. Last year, Conley said any of his six seniors could play collegiately if they wanted to, and for some it’s still a work in process. The latest is 5-foot-10 outside hitter Shannon Coughlin, who will play at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, a member of the Horizon League. There, she will go up against one of her best friends, Mallory Ladd (Clay), who will be a sophomore at Wright State. Ladd, a 5-6 sophomore defensive specialist and outside hitter, appeared in five sets last year, averaging 1.62 digs. “That will be cool when we face off with them,” Coughlin said. Her last three years of prep volleyball she was honored by both the conference and District 7. Coughlin’s season year at Clay she played in 64 sets with a team-leading 264 kills, 25 blocks, 159 digs and 31 assists. Last year, The Eagles finished 18-5 overall and 5-2 in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference. Last year, Coughlin was first team AllTRAC and all-district. As a junior, she was first team all-conference and honorable mention all-district and as a sophomore she was HM in the conference and district. She won all-academic awards all four years of her high school career and during her final two years served as team captain. Conley believes Coughlin’s future looks bright and says her skills go beyond her playing abilities. “Shannon was a great player for us and a great leader,” Conley said. “She was the heart and soul of our team. She developed into a six-rotation player for us, and I don’t think she has reached near her ceiling yet. UW-GB is getting a good one for sure.” Coughlin says Conley not only helped her improve her game, but aided in getting the scholarship by setting her up at team camps. She adds that playing in the TRAC and for the Toledo Volleyball Club played a role, too. “I think that helps a lot with the competition, plus through travel ball I got to play with a lot of players from St. Ursula’s team and Notre Dame’s team and so I have good relationships with them, too,” Coughlin said. Get ready for winter Getting a full-ride athletic scholarship to Green Bay was a blessing, Coughlin said. “It’s actually a relief,” Coughlin said. “I

And then this came out and I was really excited. It was finally getting over with and I was happy about everything. “I was looking at colleges around here, about 45 minutes or close to an hour away — close to home,” she continued. “I was never interested in going far away, but then I was at a tournament in Indianapolis and I spoke with the Wisconsin-Green Bay coaches, and then she emailed me and we just got to talking on the phone. I ended up going to visit there and I accepted the scholarship. “I chose Green Bay because of the friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and I am really excited to be a Green Bay volleyball student-athlete. I will be a part of a hardworking, successful program, all while getting a great education.” Coughlin, who plans to major in exercise science, got a shock when she first arrived in Green Bay. “When I went there, it was actually super-snowy. They had gotten like 70 inches of snow, so I have to prepare for the weather. It’s a super-nice campus and everyone is really friendly. It’s nice because all of the buildings are connected, so it’s not where you have to walk all around in the snow. Plus, when you go up to the library on the

eighth floor, you can see Lambeau Field, so that was cool, too,” Coughlin said, adding that she is not a Packers fan. Coughlin says her first experience in Green Bay as a player went well. She is back in Oregon now, but will report for the season on August 6. “I went there for a week two weeks ago and we would get up at 5 a.m. and work out, and I also went to a high school camp when I was there to just try to get acclimated with the girls,” Coughlin said. “But over the summer, I’ve been going to Clay and using their weight room during workouts and trying to keep my hands on the ball.” She was announced by first-year Green Bay coach Abbey Sutherland as one of four new signees this year. “They are joining a solid group of returners who will welcome them and guide them on their new and exciting journey as Phoenix student-athletes. I cannot wait to get to know our signees better as people and learn about their backgrounds. We will quickly introduce the freshmen into our culture-based and growth mindset approach, and we will all start learning and growing together,” said Sutherland. Green Bay finished as runner-up in the Horizon League Tournament last year and advanced all the way to the NIVC tournament quarterfinals.

Forward Charlie O’Connor has agreed to terms with the Toledo Walleye. O’Connor appeared in 41 contests in his rookie season with the Walleye during the 2017-18 season, collecting 16 points (4G, 12A), and 12 penalty minutes while finishing the year as a plus 15. He also had an assist in two playoff contests. Three times during the year O’Connor posted multi-point efforts and during his last he delivered the game-winning goal on March 30 during Toledo’s 4-1 win over Wheeling. The six foot, 183 pound forward also skated for the Walleye after completing his college career in the spring of 2017, scoring goals in first two pro games and finishing with an assist in five contests. “Charlie is 100 percent the ultimate team player, who lives for the team atmosphere and will do anything to have the team succeed,” said Coach Dan Watson. “He is a smart player that thrives in any situation on and off the ice.” The native of Elk Grove Village, Illinois appeared in 148 games in his college career at Bemidji State while accruing 26 goals, 27 assists, 53 points and 83 penalty minutes. As captain of the Beavers in the 2016-17 season, he posted a career high 19 points (6G, 13A). In the 2014-15 season, O’Connor posted a career best 11 goals while playing as a plus 11. He was on the WCHA AllAcademic team over three years. Prior to his time in college the 25-year-old played a pair of seasons with the Chicago Steel of the USHL. In 111 games for the Steel, O’Connor scored 23 goals, 40 assists with 94 penalty minutes.

Rothert honored by OHSAA The Ohio High School Athletic Association and its six District Athletic Boards have awarded $164,750 in college scholarships to 191 recent high school graduates following selections made by each of the OHSAA’s six district athletic boards. The OHSAA’s annual college scholarship program is now in its 26th year. One of the Northwest District Athletic Board’s scholarship honorees is Carly Rothert (Woodmore). Thirty-six of the honorees will receive $1,000 awards from the OHSAA, including six (one from each district) who will receive an OHSAA Ethnic Minority Scholarship. The remaining 155 award winners are from the six respective DABs and will receive scholarships ranging from $500 to $1,000. “The accomplishments in the classroom and through interscholastic athletic competition of these 191 student-athletes represent the best of education-based athletics,” said OHSAA Executive Director Jerry Snodgrass.

Bekier valuable asset on mound for Mariners, Oilers By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Jordan Bekier doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember ever pitching in relief during his high school career at Lake. He was too good of a starting pitcher for coach Greg Wilkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flyers, earning the Northern Buckeye Conference Pitcher of the Year award and graduating with a school-record nine wins in one season. Bekier chose to play ball at the University of Findlay, for Oilers head coach Steve Parrill and pitching coach Brian Makowski, another Lake graduate. Bekier, 19, who is majoring in marketing and business management, said he picked Findlay, an NCAA Division II program, because â&#x20AC;&#x153;the coaches were just a lot better than all the others. I love the atmosphere. It was like a perfect size school.â&#x20AC;? Parrill said Bekier â&#x20AC;&#x153;had a real upside, a pretty high ceilingâ&#x20AC;? coming out of the Lake program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was well-coached in high school, so his mechanics were good,â&#x20AC;? Parrill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has good size and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still going to grow. He could throw more than one pitch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fastball, breaking ball and change-up and keep them in the strike zone.â&#x20AC;? Bekier, who is 6-foot-4 and 180 pounds, helped Findlay finish 23-17 and 15-10 in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference this past season. The Oilers qualified to play in the conference tournament for the first time in a decade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without Jordan,â&#x20AC;? Parrill said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say we probably donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into the tournament.â&#x20AC;? Bekier started three games for the Oilers and won all three. He ended up throwing 39.1 innings and finished with 41 strikeouts and a 4.58 ERA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew he could compete right away, and he had a few starts and did well,â&#x20AC;? Parrill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He started a few games early, and when we got in conference he was usually the first guy out of the bullpen. In the big moments, he was a guy we put in if we needed a stop. We had some injures to a couple pitchers, and with Jordan being able to get us to our closer was really important. He became automatic. If we brought him in, usually good things would happen.â&#x20AC;?

University of Findlay pitcher Jordan Bekier. (Photo courtesy UF Media Relations Department) Bekier said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to think when Parrill approached him about throwing out of the bullpen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a little different from what I did in high school,â&#x20AC;? Bekier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was tough at first. Once I understood (Parrillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) thought process, it worked out perfect. I ended up loving it. If one of the starters was doing well and they got their pitch count up, I liked coming in and finishing the job and getting them the win. Josh Robinson was our closer and most of my year (consisted of) setting up a save for him.â&#x20AC;? Parrill said he never doubted that

Bekier would eventually relish his role as a middle reliever. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those kids who will say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Coach, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do whatever I can do to help the team win,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Parrill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew we had someone who could handle pressure. The transition was easy because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a competitor.â&#x20AC;? It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for Bekier to realize that he had to wake up every game day ready to pitch, instead of taking the mound once or twice a week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the days I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to pitch, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get excited and want to show off what I

can do,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was tough (as a reliever) because my arm really wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used to it. I would throw 90 pitches as a starter and be done for a week. Throwing every other day was tough and I had to know what our throwing program was and what I needed to do to get ready. It turned out pretty well.â&#x20AC;? Bekier spent part of this summer playing collegiate baseball for the Grand Lake Mariners, a Celina-based team that competes in the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I commuted and showed up once a week to games I would be pitching, which was nice,â&#x20AC;? Bekier said. We had a few practices at the beginning of the year to see what our positions would be. Once they got the positions down, I would show up to games to pitch because they wanted me as a starter.â&#x20AC;? Bekier said his fastball topped out at 88 mph last fall, and he wants to be able to hit 90-94 on the radar gun by the end of his sophomore season at Findlay. He has learned to throw a splitter, which he calls his best pitch, as well as a combination cutter and slider. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m shut down for the rest of the summer,â&#x20AC;? Bekier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sprained my ACL and I have tendonitis in my elbow and wrist. I ended up pitching in about 15 to 20 innings for the Mariners and I did pretty well. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing physical therapy for six weeks and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got three weeks done.â&#x20AC;? Parrill said he intends to give Bekier every opportunity to compete for a starting nod in UFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rotation next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have also talked about using him as a closer,â&#x20AC;? Parrill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wait and see how it goes in the fall. He can do both. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had good closers at Findlay. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important role I think he could handle, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give him a shot to take one of our top three or four (starting) spots.â&#x20AC;? Bekier added that â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to sayâ&#x20AC;? which role he wants to play for the Oilers in 2019. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every pitcher wants to be a starter,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it all adds up to what you can do best to help the team win. Whatever helps the team win, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do.â&#x20AC;? Bekier is the son of Leon and Cindy Bekier.

Achter hire pays for Eastern Eastern Michigan University rounded out his 2018 coaching staff with the hiring of assistant coach A.J. Achter (Clay/ Michigan State), a former Major League baseball pitcher. Achter had first worked with the Eagleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitching staff in the spring of 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am absolutely thrilled to be the pitching coach at Eastern Michigan,â&#x20AC;? Achter exclaimed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Head coach) Eric (Roof) and I have a great relationship going back to our battery days. I want to thank Eric, Scott Wetherbee, and Andy Rowdon for this wonderful opportunity. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to get to work with the pitching staff and try to pass on what I learned throughout my playing career.â&#x20AC;? Coach Eric Roofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hire of Achter proved fruitful, as EMU had the second-best conference only ERA with a 3.69 mark, 36 points better than the next best team. Luke DeVenney finished with a 2.49 ERA, which was third in the MAC and 70th in the na-

tion, while his 1.93 conference-only ERA was second. The 2.49 ERA was also the lowest for an EMU starter since 2007. In 2018, Roof guided the Eagles to a 22-34 overall mark, including a 14-13 MidAmerican Conference record and a sixth place finish in the conference standings. With the sixth place finish, EMU reached its third straight MAC Tournament, the first time they have gone to three consecutive since 2011-13. The non-conference schedule was highlighted by a 2-1 weekend series win over Oklahoma State, who, later on in the season, would become nationally ranked and receive an at-large selection to the NCAA Tournament. Achter was the only coach on a Division I baseball staff in the state of Michigan to have prior MLB playing experience, while being just one of two in the Mid-American Conference, joining Kent State Head Coach Jeff Duncan.
