Oak Harborto take stepsto stem fl oodingBy Cynthia L. JacobySpecial to The Press

Offi cials in Oak Harbor are taking a stride in the effort to fi x a major problem with the sewer system and related fl ooding in residential areas. Village leaders recently received Ohio Environmental Protection Agency permis-sion for a modifi ed sewer system permit re-quest to open the combined sewer overfl ow regulator valve on Portage Street, accord-ing to interim village administrator Randy Genzman. Opening that site will help relieve stress on the system in times of heavy rain-fall. The agency gave its OK to the request after village council hired the engineering fi rm Jones & Henry. The village fi red its for-mer engineering fi rm, Poggemeyer Design Group, in the fall of last year following a number of incidents related to the construc-tion of its now troubled combined sewer system overfl ow pond. Genzman told village council mem-bers Monday the estimated cost to open the closed valve fi gured at $6,500 - well below the projected $10,000. Since the project cost is beneath the dollar amount necessary to seek council ap-proval, Genzman is on the hunt for a con-tractor to start the job as soon as possible. The clock is ticking on the project as resi-dents worry about seasonal rains. In the mean time, Jones & Henry staff is pouring through data collected March 13 at a public meeting from fl ooding victims. That information will be used to explain the severity of the fl ooding situation to EPA of-fi cials and, hopefully, convince them to al-low more closed system regulator valves to be re-opened while village offi cials work on a long-term fi x, Genzman said. Opening the valves is not a catch-all so-lution to stop the fl ooding but is expected to make a considerable difference in handling fl ows, he added. About 20 residents showed up with photos, damage bills and stories to tell en-gineers in one-on-one interviews. The event was well received, council-man Jim Seaman said. Maps depicted trouble spots and others showed the step-by-step initial plan village

It’s another milestone for Tom Kashmer, Research Coordinator of Sandusky County Park District.

In 2010, Kashmer banded his 100,000th bird, a feat accomplished by very few indi-viduals around the country.

Kashmer reached a unique place in history when an Indigo Bunting crossed his path on September 28, 2013 at Creek Bend Farm in Lindsey. The bird was a “recap”, meaning it had already been captured, re-corded, banded and released. What makes this unique is that it was previously banded in 2001. It was estimated to have hatched in 2000.

Ironically, the Indigo Bunting was originally banded just down the road (as the buntings fl y) on May 23, 2001 by Mark Shieldcastle in Ottawa County. The United States Geological Survey has offi cially certifi ed the encounter as the oldest docu-mented Indigo Bunting in the wild. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology currently lists the oldest known wild Indigo Bunting as 8 years, 3 months.

As Kashmer says, “This record fl ies way past that.”

Indigo Buntings are four to fi ve inch sparrow-sized songbirds commonly seen midsummer on the edges of woods and fi elds, along roads and streams. Males ap-

south each winter, to an area in southern Mexico or northern South America, we’re estimating that this Indigo Bunting has traveled approximately 65,000 miles in its lifetime…so far.”

Ohio Sea Grant at Ohio State University have released the Lake Erie Birding Trail Guidebook, a 232-page compilation of 88 popular and less well-known birding loca-tions all along Ohio’s Lake Erie coast, from Ashtabula to Toledo. In addition to loca-tions of parks and other birding spots, the book lists commonly sighted species and noteworthy rarities, park amenities, and online resources for visitors.

“Lake Erie and its environs are the premier birding destination in Ohio, and in the entire Great Lakes region,” says Jim McCormac of ODNR. “Nearly 400 species have been found along the Ohio shoreline, and migration periods see enormous num-bers of songbirds and waterbirds. Many Lake Erie birders are from out-of-state or elsewhere in Ohio, and the Lake Erie Birding Trail helps visitors navigate the best hotspots.”

Birding along the Lake Erie coast con-tributes $30 million to the local economy every year, and Ohio’s 1.6 million self-identifi ed birders alone spend over three quarters of a billion dollars annually on their pursuits. The Lake Erie Birding Trail Guidebook not only makes it easier for them to spot both common and rare birds when visiting parks and preserves in north-ern Ohio, but it also gives birders the op-portunity to point out their economic con-tribution to local businesses with a set of “birder calling cards” that link owners to more information.

“Every visitor to Lake Erie will con-sider this book an incredible resource and a must-have for their libraries,” says Jeff Reutter, director of Ohio Sea Grant and Stone Lab. “We were very pleased to partner with ODNR Division of Wildlife, with funding from Wildlife, the Ohio Department of Transportation, and Ohio Sea Grant, to develop this guide.”

The book itself is a companion piece to the ODNR Division of Wildlife and Ohio Sea Grant website lakeerieohiobirding.info, which showcases birding sites across the Ohio Lake Erie coastline to residents and visitors alike.

“Connecting birders to birding and other tourism amenities in local Ohio communities will not only help attract more visitors to Ohio, but will also help us provide exceptional experiences to our guests,” says Melinda Huntley, executive director of the Ohio Travel Association.

The guide is available online through Ohio Sea Grant for $13 per book and whole-sale at $175 per case of 14, plus shipping and handling costs. To order, visit ohiosea-grant.osu.edu/publications or contact the Ohio Sea Grant offi ce at 614-292-8971 with questions.

Oak Harbor to take steps to stem fl oodingoffi cials have to curb the massive sewer wa-ter fl ows menacing residents. Seaman believes the hearing helped forge a better relationship with some of those impacted by the repetitive fl ooding. “People saw that we really are trying to do something to fi x the problem,” Seaman said. Councilman Jon Fickert suggested council send out the word via news media and others that they still wanted to hear from any residents who had stories to tell. The more people willing to share those sto-ries increases the village chances of reach-ing its eventually goal to stem the problem, he said. Genzman noted that a few others resi-dents had called in before and after the event to get their information on the record. He also encouraged others to either call him at the administration offi ce (419-898-5561) or to drop off their packets of information at town hall. The discussion then turned to the con-tinuing problem with the mats tethered to the walls of the overfl ow pond. Less than six months after the protective mats were in-stalled, the mats can’t handle the turbulence created by the underfl ow at the pond “The pressure is eating at these mats,” Seaman said. At this rate, he concluded, they won’t last fi ve years.

Engineers and village wastewater de-partment staff are busy compiling alterna-tives to keep the mats stationary. Two local fi rms, Northern Manufacturing and Eagle Fabrication, were approached to create pins of various components that may help solve the problem. Cost estimates for prototypes were passed out among council members to consider. Village staffers are also consulting the fi rm that installed the mats as well as the manufacturer Flexomat. New dispatching services The Oak Harbor Police Department will soon begin dispatching services for the Rocky Ridge Fire Department and Emergency Medical Service. Police Chief Steve Weirich said he was recently approached by Rocky Ridge offi -cials about providing the service the depart-ment currently extends to Carroll Township

Fire and EMS, Portage Fire District Fire Department and Mid-County EMS. Weirich asked if council had any objec-tions to a $1,000 a year contract similar to those signed by the other entities. Council members authorized the deal. The goal, the chief said, is to have the contract ready within a week and begin ser-vices as soon as Rocky Ridge Village Council approves the paperwork. Currently the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Offi ce tones out the Rocky Ridge emergency units for service calls. But that is the extent of their service, the chief said. Oak Harbor will monitor the radio traf-fi c after the initial tone, call utility services such as Toledo Edison and Columbia Gas as well as keep a detailed log of all the inci-dents. That continued monitoring clinched the deal for the units specifi cally because of liability and accountability issues, Weirich explained.

Reader’s theatre is a more inti-mate style of theatre in which the ac-tors do not memorize their lines, said cast member Nancy Ice. Rather, they either go through their blocking hold-ing scripts and reading off their lines, or else sit/stand together on a stage and read through the script together. Actors use vocal expression to help the audience understand the story rather than visual storytelling such as sets, costumes, and intricate blocking. Like storytelling, Reader’s Theatre can create images by suggestion that could never be realistically portrayed on stage. Tickets are $5 at the door. Admission is free for OCT season ticketholders.

Data compiled by the administration of the Genoa Area Local School District in-dicate the school system faces a defi cit of about $100,000 by the end of the 2016 fi scal year on June 30, 2016 without additional spending cuts or revenues. Bill Nye, district treasurer, said the school system’s fi ve-year fi nancial fore-cast shows a negative cash balance by then largely due to a drop in state revenues and stagnant property taxes even though the district has reduced expenditures. The pro-jected defi cit climbs to about $1.2 million by the end of the 2017 fi scal year. Voters in the district will decide a 4.99-mill emergency levy request for additional operating funds in the May 6 primary elec-tion. If approved, the additional millage would generate $800,000 annually for the district and be in effect for fi ve years. “The last time we had an approved op-erating levy was in 2005,” Nye said. In presentations for the school board, Nye has noted the district collects about $435,000 less in annual tangible personal property taxes than it did four years ago due to a phase-out of the tax by the state. Other annual revenue losses include a drop of about $900,000 in state support from the 2005 level and $140,000 in in-come earned on the district’s investments, Nye said. Additionally, local real estate tax rev-enue has been stagnant since 2006. “We’ve reduced expenditures every year since 2009,” Nye said. “That’s not sus-tainable forever. Our health insurance costs

have gone up, the cost of bus fuel goes up as well as other operating expenses. In 2007 we received about $150,000 in interest in-come. Last year we received $6,300. That’s the equivalent of two veteran teachers.” According to the forecast, the district will spend about $6.1 million on salaries in the current fi scal year and about $2.46 million on fringe benefi ts compared to $6.8 million on salaries and $2.3 million on fringe benefi ts in fi scal 2009. Total expenditures in 2009 were $11.49 million and are projected to be $10.7 mil-lion for the year ending this June. The forecast projects expenditures ris-ing to $10.9 million by the end of fi scal

Strategy plan The school board Tuesday again dis-cussed a strategic plan for the district. Nye said the plan will cover the schools’ fi nances, facilities, technology, curricula and communications with the public. “Basically it’s a plan for how we are go-ing to go forward in the future,” he said.

The Lake Board of Education has ad-opted a plan to fund the cost of maintain-ing the turf at the stadium and all-weather track at the campus on Lemoyne Road for the next 10 years. The board Wednesday approved the formation of a “turf and track fund” with the goal of minimizing the use of tax dol-lars, said Tim Krugh, board president. Under the plan, volunteer organiza-tions and the board will combine efforts to raise money for the facilities over the next 10 years.

The Lake Athletic Boosters and Lake Turf and Track Fundraising Committee have each set goals of contributing $10,000 annu-ally and the athletic department and school board will each contribute $10,000 annu-ally. The board’s allocation will come from the district’s permanent improvement fund. Krugh said before the all-weather track and stadium fi eld turf were installed, it cost about $15,000-$20,000 a year to main-tain and repair the crushed stone track and grass fi eld in the stadium. The all-weather track was installed in 2003 as part of a bond issue project for the middle school,

The stadium fi eld turf was installed during the summer of 2010 in the wake of a tornado that destroyed the high school building and damaged other facilities on the campus. The district’s insurance cover-age paid for the turf. Jeff Carpenter, district treasurer, said some in the community have raised con-cerns about how the district would pay for upkeep and replacement of the stadium turf. Krugh said the track needs to be resurfaced every six to eight years and the stadium turf will need to be resurfaced in about 10 years.

The Lake Township trustees Tuesday re-affi rmed their support for Bruce Moritz, township fi re chief, after hearing a resi-dent say some members of the fi re depart-ment contacted him to voice their concerns about how the chief runs the department. Randy Saint John, of E. Freedom Drive, told the trustees eight fi refi ghters contacted him via email with their grievances, saying they feared repercussions if they took their complaints to command offi cers and the trustees. Saint John told the trustees he would provide them with copies of the email which he read at the conclusion of the trustees’ regular meeting. He read an ac-count of a recent departmental meeting at fi re station 2 during which the chief alleg-edly screamed at several fi refi ghters and told them they could leave their badges and keys on the table if they didn’t like his management of the department. Another accused the chief of “micro-managing” emergency scenes and ques-tioned why the trustees didn’t hire some-one from within the department to be chief. The fi refi ghters also questioned his hiring

Despite accusations

Lake twp. fi re chief has trustees’ support

when he is close to retirement age. Saint John said he was speaking as a taxpayer and resident with concerns for his family’s safety. Voicing their concerns over the situation, he said, does “bring it to light.” Chief Moritz was in Columbus Tuesday for a meeting of the Ohio Fire Chiefs Association and wasn’t present for the trustees’ meeting. He was hired by the trustees in August of last year to replace former chief Todd Walters, who resigned. Prior to being hired by Lake Township, Moritz was the chief of the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District. Ironically, the trustees initially asked Moritz for assistance in preparing a job description for a full-time chief position

when they began the search for a replace-ment for Walters, who was part-time. Richard Welling, a trustee, called the accusations a “cowardly attack” on the chief, noting Moritz wasn’t at the meeting to address them. Trustees Melanie Bowen and Jeff Pettit also said Moritz has their support. “He was hired to do a job and hope-fully he will continue,” Pettit said. Because the complaints were anony-mous, they may also be baseless, said Mark Hummer, township police chief and ad-ministrator. Mike Hornyak, deputy chief of the de-partment, told Saint John the complaints should be taken up the chain of command. “These guys are hurting themselves,” he said and questioned whether the accusa-tions were true. Hummer also said the Ohio Revised Code provides protection for volunteer fi re-fi ghters involved in contentious personnel matters. He said he talks daily with the fi re chief. “He’s trying to put it together and has my support,” he said. There are about 44 fi refi ghters in the department, according to Vicki Schwamberger, fi scal offi cer.


With more than $1.4 billion sitting in the Ohio Budget Stabilization Fund – also called the state’s rainy day fund – is it time for the state legislature to restore the cuts to revenues used by local governments for a host of services? The Lake Township trustees think so. The board of trustees Tuesday unanimous-ly approved a resolution asking Gov. John Kasich and two state legislators to push for the restoration of local government funds that were cut in recent state budgets. The resolution notes that the township budget for roads has been depleted due to overtime for snow removal and related re-pairs. According to the resolution, the town-ship’s share of local government funds has been cut by 30 percent “….an amount which now could be used for infrastructure repairs.” It describes a safe, effi cient infrastruc-

Lake trustees say

Time to restore local government fundingture as a “…key element for economic growth and job creation and positively af-fects the overall transportation system.” Besides the governor, the resolu-tion asks Senator Randy Gardner and Representative Tim Brown to initiate a bill to restore the cut funds. “We’re not really asking for a hand-out,” said Richard Welling, a trustee. “We’re just asking for our money back. We have to place levies on the ballot to fi x our roads.” Mark Hummer, township administra-tor, said the township should also work with the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments to gain support for the res-olution. “I hope other local governments follow your lead,” he said to the trustees. According to the Offi ce of Budget and Management, the rainy fund balance is at the maximum amount allowed by law, which is 5 percent of the preceding year general revenue fund. A surplus is to be used to provide a temporary reduction in income tax rates

through the Income Tax Reduction Fund, according to state law. The rainy day fund balance at the end of fi scal 2012 was about $482 million. Recent changes to the law that were adopted with the fi scal 2012-13 budget al-ter the method for allocating revenues for both the local government fund and public library fund. In other business, the trustees, after meeting in executive session, approved several personnel matters:• Joseph Sujkowski, Oregon Road, was hired a full-time cemetery worker at $13 per hour. He will be on one-year probation beginning March 31.• Approved bonuses in lieu of raises for non-unionized full-time and part-time employees: $750 for full-time and $500 for part-time. In all, the bonuses will cost the township $8,000 but won’t be ap-plied to pension calculations, said Vicki Schwamberger, fi scal offi cer.• Approved a job description and pay rate of $15 per hour for the battalion chief posi-tion in the fi re department.

Boardwalk funds The Friends of Magee Marsh are raising funds to renovate the popular Magee Marsh Boardwalk, located on the shore of Lake Erie near Oak Harbor. Listed as one of the top 10 bird-ing hotspots in the country, more than 80,000 people visit Magee Marsh dur-ing spring migration, which trans-lates to millions of dollars spent at Northwest Ohio businesses. The Friends of Magee Marsh are aiming to raise $300,000 to refurbish the 25-year-old boardwalk, which is falling into disrepair. Funds raised will be used to replace the decking and rails, stabilize the tower and make oth-er improvements to ensure the board-walk remains open to the public. The Friends group has donated $25,000 to get the project started. Phase One is under way and will be complete by April 1. Phase Two will commence June 1. During the renovation, most of the boardwalk will remain accessible. The Friends of Magee Marsh is asking for community support for the boardwalk renovation. Donation enve-lopes may be found at the Sportsmen’s Migratory Bird Center. Additionally, donations may be made via PayPal on-line at www.friendsofmageemarsh.org or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/friendsofmageemarsh. Magee Marsh Wildlife Refuge is located on SR 2, 17 miles west of Port Clinton and 25 miles east of Toledo.

Genoa is a quiet village. Not much noise and not much big news. So rarely does it ever make national or world news. It has happened, but not often. The deadly tornado in 1920 and the sensational bank robbery nearly a century ago when a drug-gist was shot to death, are two of the town’s biggest stories. But, perhaps the biggest sto-ry that sent ripples beyond its village bor-ders is one that few people today have read. It was a story so gripping that if it were to occur today, Genoa would likely have to endure a crush of TV crews and cameras all crowding each other to get the scoop. But, there were no TV cameras back in the mid-1800s, just newspapers, and while they did report this story, its notoriety has faded along with the ink of the old news print. The roots of this curious tale began to un-fold in 1867 in Sandusky with the kidnap-ping of a three-year old girl named Marie Lilly Bowers. Family records indicate that on October 26, 1867, a neighbor asked Mrs. Martha Bowers if it would be okay for their three-year-old daughter, Marie Lilly, to come to their house for a few hours to play. Her mother agreed and so Lilly left with the neighbor woman. She would nev-er return. On her way home that afternoon, she vanished. An immediate search was conducted by her frantic family, and by the next day, much of the city became involved in the search. It was recounted in family records that every “vault and cistern” was searched and even nearby “Sandusky Bay” was dragged for her body, but not a “single clue” turned up. Days went by and still no sign of Marie Lilly Bowers. Most of the major newspapers car-ried the story and the desperate search by James and Martha Bowers to fi nd their pre-cious “Lilly”. There was speculation she had been abducted by a group of “gypsies” who were camped nearby. Days passed into weeks and then months. Lilly was gone. Mr. Bowers for years bought advertisements in papers around the country in a vain at-tempt to fi nd his daughter. Some leads were reported and followed, but in the end, all proved to be false. The only clues came in rumors and theories. The Bowers fam-ily even contacted Levi Stanley, the “King of the Gypsies”, who was living in Dayton, and asked him to get involved, thinking he might be able to fi nd out if any of “his people” had the child. Stanley reportedly became angry, although he brought forth a child as a possible candidate for the miss-ing Lilly, but after Mrs. Bowers saw the girl, she knew it wasn’t her daughter. The Bowers family, crushed and heart broken, eventually left Sandusky, and moved back to Hudson, Michigan, to a pre-vious home where many of their children had been born. Meanwhile, about the time Lilly van-ished, an old “gypsy” man, Jack Patterson, began working on the farm of James and Jeanette Calkins. Old Jack would work dur-ing the day while leaving his own “tawny” children in a nearby hovel along with a child of a much lighter complexion. It was Marie Lilly Bowers. As the story is passed down in the Calkins’ family records, “One day Mrs. Calkins, hearing screams, rushed into the hut and rescued Lilly from the stove where she had been placed by the other children because she had refused to

do their bidding. Soon after this, Old Jack brought the child to Mrs. Calkins’ home. She was clothed in nothing but an old cof-fee-sac. The Calkins adopted the child and she was given the name “Ida Bell”. For the next 15 years, they raised Ida Bell Calkins as their own child, although, they always told her they were not her real parents and that perhaps, someday, she might fi nd her real family. In the years that followed, Ida Bell Calkins grew up in rural Genoa and lived with her new parents, and her fi ve step-brothers on an 80-acre farm near the current intersection of State Route 51 and State Rt. 163. Because she was so young when she was abducted, she had no recollection of her own family or her name. Because there were no local papers at the time in Genoa, the Calkins family never saw the numer-ous stories about the missing girl from Sandusky. By the time “Ida Bell” grew up to a beautiful woman of about 18 years, she had been schooled and raised to be a proper church-going lady and traveled in a “prom-inent circle” of friends. But Ida still won-dered about her real identity. Strangely she always favored the name Lilly and wished that it had been hers. She loved the name so much that she often gave her pets the name Lilly. In 1882, as she was about to be mar-ried and assume a new married name, she was about to learn her real maiden name. In an article that appeared in The Gibsonburg Christian Monthly of July 1910 it was writ-ten that Lilly’s real mother, Martha Bowers, who was still living in Hudson, Michigan at the time had “never ceased to have faith that some day, somehow, God only knew when or how, Lilly would be restored to them.” Then, seemingly out of the blue, Mrs. Bowers received word from friends in Sandusky that they had heard of a young woman in Genoa who might be the long lost Lilly. Quickly letters were exchanged and Mrs. Bowers soon made the trip south to Ohio to test another moment of truth. It was arranged that, during a picnic at the old GAR hall in Genoa (which still exists), Mrs. Bowers was to look at a group of girls and see if she could identify her daugh-ter. When she saw “Ida Bell”, she is said to have immediately picked her out as her daughter Lilly. There was no reunion that day, however, for Mrs. Bowers was to visit the Calkins home the next day to reveal herself to the girl. When Mrs. Bowers was brought into the room, the girl recognized

her immediately. “My mother”, said Ida. These were the fi rst words Mrs. Bowers had heard her daughter utter since she was a toddler. Further identifi cation was verifi ed by a birthmark on Lilly’s head and as Jeanette Calkins would later write, “there was joy and weeping.” It was a miraculous moth-er and child reunion. After 14 long years, the misery and the mystery were over. Preparations were made at once for Marie Lilly Bowers to return to the family home in Hudson. Newspapers across the coun-try began picking up the story and Genoa, Ohio was the place where this miracle sto-ry had taken place. Within weeks after the reunion, Ida Bell, or Marie Lilly, headed back to her adopted hometown of Genoa to marry Daniel Cunningham. Curiously, within months, her biological baby sis-ter, Edith Clara Bowers would also move from Hudson to Genoa to marry James Levi Calkins, Lilly’s step-brother, with whom she had been raised. Both sisters remained in the vicinity until their deaths many years later. Lilly and Daniel eventually relocated to Gibsonburg where they raised two chil-dren, while her husband Daniel worked in the oil fields of Sandusky County. L i l l y would later tell newspaper reporters that she felt very fortunate having two caring sets of parents. While she was very happy to have reunited with her real parents, the Bowers, she held the “highest and tender-est” regard for the James Calkins family and could not think of moving away and desert-ing them in their old age. Marie Lilly “Ida Bell” Calkins-Cunningham lived in nearby Gibsonburg until she passed away at the early age of 45, in 1910 from a mastoid in-fection. She is buried at Gibsonburg along with her two children and husband. The Calkins family legacy does not end with Lilly’s passing, for Lilly’s sis-ter, Edith Clara, who married James Levi Calkins, lived to be nearly a hundred years of age and died in the 1960s in the Genoa area. She was well known and well liked by all who knew her. The Calkins fam-ily tree still stands tall in the Genoa area and still is growing. It now includes many well known local names such as Navarre, Early, Nagucki, Hesselbart, Schnapp and Bowland. My Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Leo Schnapp of Elliston for helping to track down this fascinating story of Genoa’s past.

If you’re curious about the technology driving the development of electric vehicles but want to – for the time being - avoid the dealers’ showrooms and salesmen, Michael Hall and friends have just the venue for you. Hall, the president of the recent-ly-formed Electric Auto Association of Northwest Ohio, is inviting the public to the association’s spring meeting March 29 at Owens Community College where he is an instructor. The meeting will start at 9:30 a.m. in the Transportation Technologies building, 30335 Oregon Road. The local chapter is part of a growing movement promoting “clean” vehicles and increasing public awareness of the number of electric vehicle choices on the market to-day, Hall said. The national organization, Electric Auto Association, was formed in 1967 and is now based in Aptos, California. “The national chapter wants us to pro-mote public awareness of the new technolo-gies of the electric vehicle hybrids and plug-ins,” Hall said. “We’ll have literature we can hand out to anyone who comes, including a vehicle buyer’s guide that offers all of the choices available in alternative fuel vehi-cles. Our local chapter consists of members who have a passion for `going green.’ Some members have many years of service as en-vironmental enthusiasts, educators, engi-neers, technicians and trainers; some work-ing in the technical fi elds that helped in the development of the technology being used today.” The chapter plans to again have a dis-play in July at the Classics on Main Car Show in Bowling Green. Suitably, the dis-play area is called “Electric Avenue.” Hall has owned both an electric vehicle and a hybrid-electric vehicle. “I drive an SUV (Ford Escape hybrid) that gets 33 miles to the gallon. You’re never going to get that out of a gasoline engine. It’s a nice size vehicle and I’m impressed with the technology they’ve put into it,” he said. While the prices of alternative fuel ve-hicles aren’t as low as Hall would like to see, he says consumers should realize they’re paying for fuel and technology “up front.” “It’s about 3 cents a mile to operate an electric vehicle, compared to 20 cents a mile for a gasoline vehicle,” he said. For information about the association visit www.electricauto.org.

Pancake breakfast The Church of St. Andrew United Methodist Men will present their fourth annual all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast to raise awareness about and help hungry pets in the community Saturday, April 5 from 8-10:30 a.m. at the church, 3620 Heatherdowns Blvd. Proceeds raised will benefi t Humane Ohio, a local non-profi t organization that runs a pet food bank and a low-cost spay/neuter clinic. The menu includes old fashioned pancakes, blueberry pancakes, Chef Paul’s potato-pancakes, French toast with warm fruit, gluten-free and low-carb and vegetarian options, along with grits, beverages and more. The cost is a donation of any amount at the door. “As a non-profi t organization, Humane Ohio relies on the proceeds from fundraisers, donations and grants in order to keep our spay/neuter prices low for the community and to offer programs like the Humane Ohio Pet Food Bank,” said Humane Ohio’s Development and Marketing Director, Kristy Kissoff. For more information visit www.humaneohio.org or call 419-266-5607.

Health care info Those who have questions or need in-formation about the Affordable Act before the enrollment deadline of March 31 are invited to a community event being spon-sored by Neighborhood Health Association March 25 from 3-7 p.m. at the East Toledo Family Center, 1020 Varland Ave., Toledo. Local health insurance agencies and insurance navigators will be on hand to answer questions. Those attending can also apply for Medicaid at the event. For more information, call 419-214-0043.

False and baseless To the editor: This letter is in response to a letter submitted by Cecil Adkins in the March 10 issue of The Press. Police Chief Ken Frost serves the Village of Walbridge and its residents with tremendous dedication and attention. His leadership encouraged council to use engi-neering fi rms for projects within the village, ensuring hired contractors are bonded and insured – which has proven to be solid ad-vice. Under Chief Frost, the Walbridge Police Department has become stronger and more effi cient, leading to a safer community in which to reside. Mayor and council unani-mously support the efforts of Chief Frost and recognize him as a valuable asset to Walbridge. Without merit, it seems Mr. Adkins has taken on a personal vendetta for the police chief. What Mr. Adkins fails to inform the readers is, the village has previously em-ployed, on multiple occasions, an individu-al serving dual roles, wearing both the hat of village administrator and another position. Ironically, one of those individuals was his own brother. There was never any concern or problem then, so why the personal attack on Chief Frost, who has a fl awless record, a decorated military résumé, and an impres-

sive education background? The village continues to operate in ac-cordance with the laws of the State of Ohio and the policies and procedures of the vil-lage, as confi rmed by the ruling from the State of Ohio Attorney General’s offi ce re-ceived in October 2013. Mr. Adkins does not agree with the ruling from the attorney general and has isolated Chief Frost as his focus to dismantle the positive momentum in the village and police department. Mr. Adkins blames the village for not providing ample information to the attorney general’s offi ce for its legal opinion, which is completely false and baseless. The attorney general’s offi ce spent seven months with the request on dual compatibility, often times contacting our village solicitor or village of-fi ce for additional information they needed to complete their fi ndings. They had com-plete access to any and all information they needed. The village has gone above and be-yond for Mr. Adkins. He seems at peace monopolizing the time of the village offi ce to provide public records requests, which are often hundreds of pages long, simply to

gather information on Chief Frost and look for fl aws within the operations of the police department and village offi ce. The reason the village asked the attorney general for a ruling on the compatibility of the two posi-tions was at the request of Mr. Adkins. Mr. Adkins did not receive the answer he was apparently hoping for. Mr. Adkins has many good qualities to offer the village, including knowledge and rich history. Our wish is for him to work with, not against, the effort to continue mov-ing the village forward in a positive direc-tion.Mayor Edward A. KolankoCouncil members Ken Gilsdorf, Fred Sloyer, Sue Hart-Douglas, Ron Liwo, Larry Boday and Lauren LaRoe

Game over?To the editor: A few weeks back The Press printed a letter that blamed our problems on the Republicans because they didn’t come to the table with President Obama. We received Obamacare without any Republican input.

Libya was bombed without any Republican input and when the U.S. Consulate in Libya was attacked the presi-dent handled it alone. The Internal Revenue Service harass-ment of conservative organizations was done without any Republican help. When you go to the table with the President, if you don’t play his way, he takes the ball and goes home.Rufus WallaceMillbury

“It’s impossible!” is an often used ex-cuse for not doing something. However, every invention, discovery, and advance throughout history is the result of someone striving for and accomplishing the impos-sible. When you think something is impossi-ble, you tell yourself you can’t do it, and you won’t. Conversely, if you feel something is possible, you will tell yourself you can do it, and you will. History has repeatedly proven that those that declare impossibility are invari-ably wrong. So how can you ever claim with certainty to know what is and isn’t pos-sible? Or how can anyone who is offering you advice as to what is impossible know? You are limited by your thinking, not by what you know or what you have. While you are convincing yourself of all the rea-sons something is impossible, there are people accomplishing the very same thing. Conversely, while you are making progress toward a goal, there are those who have already convinced themselves it’s not pos-sible. Your perspective as to what is possible is based on your knowledge and experience. Impossibility is a state of mind, not an ab-solute. The only things you know are ob-tainable are those you have already accom-plished. When you don’t strive for a goal, you have no chance of attaining it. Don’t lis-ten to anyone who tells you something is impossible. If you do, you will limit your accomplishments. You must fi rst believe before you can achieve. You should be striving for the impos-sible. Anything worth achieving takes ef-fort. Although success isn’t easy, neither is struggling. Since life takes effort regardless of what you do, you may as well set your sights high. When you strive for the impossible, you won’t have much competition. Most people are looking for routes requiring little or no effort. They prefer the path of least resis-tance. Ignore the naysayers. Listening to those

Ignore the naysayers and imagine anything is possible

who profess to know that which is possible and impossible have nothing to offer you. Listening to them inhibits any progress you would have made. Often these people assert that their claims of impossibility are merely realistic. They will tell you that they are only looking out for your best interests and don’t want to see you get hurt. Although they may be well intentioned, you have nothing to gain by abandoning your dreams based on someone else’s opinion.

Throughout history, if people only at-tempted that which is accepted to be pos-sible, we would still be living in caves in the Stone Age. Take inspiration from the long list of innovators who have consistently achieved the impossible. Look to those who are where you want to be. Study their approach. Learn from their experiences of how they achieved their goals. People who have strived for, and achieved the impossible are a great inspira-tion. Success isn’t easy, but it’s worth the ef-fort. Loftier goals are more diffi cult to attain than their ordinary counterparts. However, once achieved, the sense of satisfaction is awesome. How much you get out of life is directly connected to how much you put in. Dream big. Break free of any self-im-posed or externally imposed limitations.

Anything you can conceive and believe is possible. Conversely, impossibility exists if you believe it does. It is exclusively your outlook which defi nes what you can accom-plish. Make striving for the impossible a way of life. Your life can be a great adventure. You can accomplish more than you ever thought possible. Harness your willpower. Fire up your determination. Get your drive in gear. When anyone tells you are striving for the impossible, you are on the right track. Redefi ne impossible to It Means Possible.

Before you knew Dr. Romules Durant as superintendent of Toledo Public Schools you knew him as the hard-hitting lineback-er at the University of Toledo. Before you knew Dr. Lonnie Rivera as superintendent of Oregon Public Schools, you knew him as the Mid-American cham-pion wrestler from the University of Toledo. Both men have come a long way from the football fi elds and wrestling mats on the east side. Dr. Durant grew up in East Toledo and graduated from Waite and Dr. Rivera grew up in Bono and is a Clay grad. So, how did they rise above other state and national candidates to lead our two largest school districts? Both men cite their involvement in sports as one driving force. Dr. Durant grew up in a household in which his father coached little league football and his moth-er cheerleading. “Football became a family structure that glued us together,” he recalls. For Dr. Rivera, a wrestling scholarship was the only way he could afford college. At fi rst, wrestling was his passion, but, as he matured, he also discovered a love of learning. “Athletics opened up a world to me that would not have been available…I discovered that I really enjoyed college. I began to think more about the degree than wrestling. The two became intertwined as I quickly learned that I had to excel at both if I wanted to continue to graduation.” Balancing a full course load with col-legiate sports forced both men to adopt or-ganizational and planning skills they might not have honed, were it not for the passion they had to compete. These skills have be-come integral to their success today. Dr. Durant says, “Good planning makes good practices, good practices make good ex-ecution, good execution makes good out-comes.” Athletes also assess their performanc-es after every competition. Having a good understanding of your strengths and weak-

Sports was training ground for these two superintendentsnesses and how they match up to your competition’s is crucial to devising a good game plan. It is also crucial when leading a school district in the age of open enroll-ment when students have more choices. Dr. Rivera said, “To get to the top of your game takes a lot of preparation, work-ing on the weak parts of your game and ac-centuating your strengths. The same thing holds with the district. We have a lot of really good assets, programs and processes and we want to make sure we accentuate those while, at the same time, work on our weaknesses.” While wrestling is an individual sport, football is a team game and Dr. Durant shared his thoughts on how to motivate his staff. He claims he was an introvert until his performance on the fi eld led to him be-ing named a captain. That role called for him not only to lead by his actions but also to become a vocal leader so he could move players in the right position and devise strategy and communicate it. Leadership takes more than talk. You need to be passionate about your mis-sion. Dr. Durant said through his actions he sends the message to his staff and his students that he will do anything for them. That means long days, forging relationships with businesses, community organizations and the public. It also means having an un-derstanding of and being sensitive to the obstacles teammates, students and staff must overcome to achieve excellence. Dr. Rivera adds you need to show your teammates you care and lead with a sense of humility. “You hope that everything you do will inspire others to be better than who they are. Somebody’s always watching.” When Dr. Durant made the decision at age 19 to become a superintendent he set on a course that allowed him to see a school district from the bottom up. He started as a teacher, then moved up to dean of students, assistant principal, principal, assistant su-

perintendent and, fi nally, superintendent. It was a journey with a purpose. “You need to know the walk of all shoes before you can make a decision to know how your de-cision will impact individuals from the stu-dent level all the way to the classroom and district wide.” He tells his administrative staff, “Never forget the shoes you were in because what was appreciated then is appreciated now…That’s what grows support because the small things are big wins in life when deal-ing with relationships with staff and sup-port staff.” The same is true in the violent game of football. If you are asking someone to sac-rifi ce his body for a cause, you better show you appreciate the effort. In education, as in sports, you can do everything right and still lose. Perseverance is a required and acquired skill. Dr. Rivera said, “You learn not to quit. In wrestling there were days when I did everything I could and didn’t win. But, the next day I had to pick myself back up and do it again. You learn that tenacity. You can’t give up. You have a team depending on you. I now have 3,800 kids depending on me.” One of the most important lessons Dr. Durant learned from sports may surprise you—the importance of statistical analy-sis. Everything is measured in football. Statistics help predict what an offense or a defense may do in a given situation or the probability of success given the skills, ten-dencies and alignment of the opponent. Dr. Durant used statistical analysis in rearrang-

ing the district from K-6 to K-8 elementary schools. “You don’t do that kind of disruption unless you have some hard-core data. We learned sixth graders in elementary were out-performing those in the middle school setting.” There are other ways to learn all these lessons. Sports is just one training ground where young men and women can learn or-ganization, planning and scheduling skills; self motivation and how to motivate others; how to set goals, hone focus and develop a good work ethic; and how to overcome obstacles and inspire teammates and stake-holders. Learning is a life-long process and both men are quick to point out it is important to continue the process and learn from others. Dr. Rivera said, “You need to be able to remain coachable. No matter what position you ascend to, you never learn it all. We’re students and teachers at the same time. There’s always more to learn.” Dr. Durant agrees and he adds coaches deserve a player’s respect. “The schedule means something. Why lift weights at this time? Why eat at this time? Why is practice done the way it is? Why have 48 hours of preparation? Why are we required to un-derstand the mission, vision and core com-mitment and wear them everyday? “Understand this, these are Fortune 500 CEO coaches who are instilling trans-ferable skills that can lead you into your industry to lead others.” The last word? Both men say you have to put in the time. No exceptions. Dr. Durant said, “The only thing equal between us all is, we all have 24 hours in a day. What you do with your 24 hours will separate you from the next person.”

Adult Day Center enjoying new space at Challenger CenterBy Tammy WalroPress Staff [email protected]

The Alzheimer’s Association, relocat-ed its Adult Day Center from its longtime location at the Lutheran Home at Toledo on Wheeling Street in East Toledo to the Challenger Learning Center Building, 4955 Seaman Rd. in Oregon. The fi rst day in the new location was March 3. “We had been leasing the space at the Lutheran Home at Toledo, and they are expanding their services and needed the space,” said Traci Holland, respite coordi-nator. “After a good, long search, we were happy to fi nd a new space that suited all of our needs.” The Alzheimer’s Association, opened the East Side Adult Day Center – the or-ganization’s second such facility – in 2008 to meet the needs of caregivers in Oregon, Northwood, Genoa, East Toledo and sur-rounding areas. The center, which accommodates up to 10 participants, offers a secure, supportive environment for individuals experiencing memory loss, to enjoy physical, social and emotional stimulation. Caregivers have peace of mind knowing their family mem-ber is in a secure environment.” The new space, comprised of a class-room area at the Challenger Center fa-cility, includes a restroom and offi ce area. “I’d say the move went smoothly,” Holland said. “It’s been a labor of love. Like with any move, we’ve been adjusting – try-ing to fi nd places for everything. The space is about the same size as our previous fa-cility, but there’s a little more area devoted for center activities, which is what it’s all about. “Our participants have been real troop-ers. They made a great transition, which we were somewhat concerned about because routine and familiarity are key with this disease,” she said. “The majority of the caregivers have also been positive about the new location. It’s kind of out there – once they found us that fi rst Monday, it has gone real well since then,” she said. “For most all of them, it’s the same distance and for some, it’s even a little bit closer for them.” “Overall, we love our new space and our landlords at the Challenger Center have been awesome and real welcoming and we appreciate that,” Holland said. The Oregon site is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Currently, there are openings. To learn more about the Adult Day Centers, call 1-800-272-3900 or email [email protected]. The Alzheimer’s Association, also operates an Adult Day Center at 2500 N. Reynolds Road.

Seniors who come for lunch at the East Toledo Senior Activities Center are enjoying the joy of cooking…or more aptly, they’re enjoying Joy’s cooking. Since March 3, the center is serving meals prepared in the on-site kitchen by cook Joy Fuller, which is getting rave re-views from the lunchtime diners. Prior to that, lunch service was con-tracted by a national provider contracted through a grant from the Area Offi ce on Aging. “Over the three years we were with that provider, our attendance dropped dra-matically – some days we only had one to three come in for lunch,” said Mary Wolff, the center’s director. “Not only was it evident by the drop in attendance that the seniors didn’t like the institutional-type meals, they were very vo-cal about it,” she said. “And on days when Brenda (Holden) and I would make meals here for whatever reason, we’d have a lot of people, so we knew there was an interest and a need.” Late last year, when the Area Offi ce on Aging opened up the bidding for the con-tract for the lunch program, Wolff applied for a grant, with the goal of preparing meals in the center’s kitchen. “We felt we could have better control over the quality and variety if we made the

Diners enjoy “homemade” lunches at senior centerfood here,” Wolff said. “We’ve had a food license since I’ve been here. We also have a kitchen which, for nine years or so, we’ve been using for parties, cooking classes, for our once-a-month evening meal and also to serve the meals that were brought in.” After review, the Area Offi ce on Aging awarded the senior center the grant, which includes a dollar amount per unit (meal served), and funds to pay for a cook who works 30 hours a week. “We only inter-viewed experienced cooks, and were hap-py to fi nd Joy Fuller,” she said. Wolff plans the menus using strict nutritional guidelines. “Once I get the menu planned, I have to submit it to the Area Offi ce on Aging for approval, which, through all this has been very, very helpful and supportive,” she said. March’s menu has included barbecue chicken breast, pork chop with cornbread stuffi ng, chicken pot pie and honey baked ham…with veal parmesan, roast turkey and baked tilapia still to come. A full soup and salad bar is also offered every day. “The seniors want different foods, not the same-old, same-old options,” Wolff said. “For some, this is the only full and balanced meal they have in the day. Dennis Boerst, of Toledo, and his wife Pat, who have been coming to the center for 11 years, give the new lunch programs two thumbs up. “It’s really great since Joy is doing the cooking,” Mr. Boerst said, adding that he enjoys the variety. “Joy’s had some

really nice soups; we had a Jiggs dinner on St. Patrick’s Day which was excellent and a lot of us are looking forward to the liver and onions tomorrow.” Ron Ohm, of Tol edo, agrees with Boerst’s assessment of the food – but not about the liver and onions. “I come every day – I think I started in 1990, when I re-tired from ODOT,” he said. “I defi nitely en-joy the new ‘home-cooking,’ but tomorrow, when we’re having the liver and onions, I’ll be eating the salad” “We’ve only been doing this for two weeks; we had 25 people here on one day, but we’re expecting that once word of mouth gets out, we’ll see more,” Wolff said. The lunch program, open to anyon, and is served Monday-Friday at 11:45 a.m. There is a suggested donation of $2.50 for those 60 and over and a fi xed charge of $5 for those under the age of 60. “We don’t ask the seniors for the mon-ey,” Wolff said. “There’s a container near the sign-up sheets; if they have the money, they put it in.” Those interested must sign up 24 hours in advance at the center or by calling 419-697-9005. The menu is available at the center or online at www.etfc.org, clicking on the “Senior Center” tab and then “Daily Lunches.” Transportation is available to seniors in the East Toledo/Oregon area. To arrange for transportation, call 419-691-2254.

nspirational essage of the eek: Be Slow to AngerI often wonder why we allow things that don't concern us,

or situations that we can't control, to upset us so much.

Some of us seem to get so bent out of shape, over

something that we've seen on television or read in the

newspaper, that it appears to ruin our whole day. And

although there are problems in the world, it is indeed

unfortunate for any of us to be carrying around so much

anger that we have trouble enjoying our lives. Also, it is

quite silly to become infuriated over relatively minor

things such as being kept waiting, or bad drivers on the

highway. There are enough unpleasant issues in our

lives that are unavoidable, such as our health, family, or

work situations, that it seems we shouldn't go around

looking for more. And remember too, that anger

increases our blood pressure and heart rate, and is

associated with numerous potentially harmful

gastrointestinal problems. The Bible tells us that we

should get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, and that

we should be kind and compassionate to one another.

(Ephesians 4:31-32) Cease from anger, and forsake

wrath. Do not fret, it only causes harm. New K.J.V.

Dig out your bat and dust off your ball glove. It is time for the East Toledo Senior Activities Center’s Senior Softball League to begin.

This recreational league is traditional-ly open to men aged 50 and over. However, there are two women, one on each league, who play. This year Senior Center Director Mary Wolff is proud to state that 11 teams have signed up, and there is still time to add more.

Wolff says the league began 21 years ago with just a few teams of men who wanted to remain active while having fun. Within two years more teams from Point Place asked to join the league.

“Now we have players from as far

PrimeTimes The Press

East Toledo senior softball…11 teams and counting

north as Ann Arbor and south as Bowling Green. We even have some Senior Olympic wins under our belts,” Wolff said.

Over 40 players have been with the league for 10 years or more with a hand-ful of the original men still playing. And some who no longer are able to play come to the games to watch and visit with former teammates.

The league follows SSUSA softball rules in addition to some modifi cations that best suit the needs of the players for safety on the fi eld. The modifi cations are taken from suggestions from the players, in which league commissioners adopt and add to the rules.

Games are played on Monday eve-nings for the age 58-plus league and on Wednesday evenings for the 50-plus league. All games are played on the Navarre Park ball diamonds located between Woodville Road and East Broadway just behind the East Toledo Family Center.

“This year we have had a huge re-sponse with 77 players registering for our 50 plus league and 69 players registering for our 58 plus league. Registration offi cial-ly ended March 14th but players are still being accepted,” Wolff said.

“What keeps the players coming back each year? One word, camaraderie. The players do have a respect for one another. Once off the fi eld and up on the hill there are no teams, just friends. Relaxing and enjoying a hot dog or two, talking about the great plays, missed opportunities and ‘blown’ calls of the games,” the director continued.

Anyone aged 50 (by Dec. 31 of this year) who would like to join the league or learn more can call Wolff at 419-691-2254 or visit HTOsports.com/etsacsoftball.

Woodmore High School students and Sea Cadets Ryan Otte, Nick Fruchey, Shale Wahl and Ian Fruchey. (Window To Woodmore photo by Taylor Myerholtz)

If a parent knew there was an orga-nization out there that could help young people develop valuable skills, teach them discipline and help them to develop confi-dence, they’d probably want to learn more about it. The U.S. Navy Sea Cadet Corps is that organization, and it’s had a profound influence on five Woodmore High School students that are currently participating. According to the website, the mission of the program is to provide “leadership, management, organization and discipline while developing honor, courage, and com-mitment. The (organization) helps fulfill that goal by providing critical mentorship, training, and leadership opportunities to young people, enabling them to reach their fullest potential.” The five participating are Ryan Otte, Nick Fruchey, Shale Wahl, Ian Fruchey and Parker Lowe. The NSCC (Naval Sea Cadet Corps) is a program for young teens (13-17) who are interested in furthering their education about joining the Navy or Marines. The NLCC (Navy League Cadet Corps) is anoth-er program for younger teens (11-14) that introduces basics of the naval life. The cadet program is sponsored by an individual councils of the Navy League of the U.S. It is a non-profi t organization which is made up of U.S. citizens who support the sea ser-vices. The Cadets are instructed by the na-val personnel, senior cadets and adult vol-unteer leaders. Along with ad-vance training, they also have the oppor-tunity to travel to dif-ferent training sites all over the coun-try during the sum-mer training period. Some outstanding Sea Cadets are selected to participate in the NSCC International Exchange Program. The cadets learn a variety of subjects, which help them become a better citizen and a stronger person. They also study naval history, customs and traditions, sea-manship and navigation. “I like the program because it teaches leadership skills,” says Wahl. “It’s a great program for people who want to join the military.” Fruchey, a sophomore, says the pro-gram has had a positive infl uence on him. “It’s a prep course for people who want to join the military — the Navy, Marine Corps and Merchant Marines,” Fruchey said. “I’m in it for the training and because I am thinking of joining the Marines. We learn facing movements, how to march, how to respect an offi cer, stuff like that. There is a training list — culinary, band, fi eld ops, scuba diving. There are a lot of things you can get training for. “It’s about kids exploring what they can do and exploring their limits. I’ve al-ways wanted to go in as a cook and then I (took an interest) in scuba and I really like that. It’s good for people to test their limits. It tests their leadership — they teach you how to be a leader and how to stand out and lead others.” The students train for one weekend per month at the local community college in Monore, Michigan as part of the Wolverine

Five enroll at WoodmoreSea Cadets provides military training

Division. Fruchey notes that joining the program does not mean that the person will have to enlist in the military when he/she turn 18, though. That remains the choice of the individual. An average day of training, which lasts from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., begins with the com-manding and executive offi cers explaining to the students what they’ll be doing dur-ing the day. That usually includes physi-cal training, called PT by trainers, and a physical reference test, called PFT. In the afternoon, the new recruits will undergo training on how to march and try to learn some of the proper techniques that come with being part of the program. “The program teaches us cadets about the importance of good leadership and citi-zenship qualities,” Wahl said. “We have drill one weekend each month, where we are inspected on our uniforms, military knowledge, and military bearing. At drill, we also endure physical training every day. Advanced trainings are available all year round and all around the country for ca-dets who want to expand their knowledge in different military careers. “I’ve learned the importance of team-work, discipline, pride, leadership, citizen-ship, and I’ve improved my personal well-being through the program. It’s an amazing once in a lifetime experience. I joined the program last year because I had been think-ing about the Navy after high school. Even if I don’t join the military, I’ve still learned many things, had many great experiences,

challenged myself and others, and made many new friends in the program.” The program offers a number of opportunities for students to ad-vance their training. Advanced training includes Military Law Enforcement Training, Music Training, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Airman Training,

Seabee Indoctrination, SEAL Team Training, Submarine Orientation, and Leadership Academy. Fruchey credits his experiences with helping him to develop more confi dence in himself. “I used to never really be good in front of crowds,” he said. “With the Color Guard, we’ve done many of them at Mud Hens games, Monster Truck rallies, parades — it’s given me a lot of confi dence, When you go out with your cadets you have that con-fi dence.” Fruchey also credits the organization with helping him plan for his future and about making the military more than just a short-term part of his life. “They pretty much teach you to do well in school and to plan for your future but to also have a backup plan. At fi rst, I just wanted to join the Marine Corps, but they told me to plan for a little longer down the road. (The offi cers) don’t want you to just join the military. They want you to have a career in the military that will carry on later in life.”

““I’ve improved my personal well-being

through the program. It’s an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Lake’s record over the last three years is a combined 57-12 (.826) and 35-7 in the conference, tops in the NBC.

Like any suc-cessful program, Coach Bowen plays a role in building a strong foundation.

“It’s been easy for us so far to tran-sition from year to year with the tal-ent we have been

blessed with,” Bowen said. “Every year we take the kids down south to a summer camp that is very intense and it’s a great way for our team to bond. If you’re not tough, you will struggle. And our kids have bought into that, and we feel they really look forward to competing in (camp). The fi rst year, we brought nine kids down, and the number continues to grow. We had 24 kids attend (last) year.

“And we’ve had a lot of success with our middle school teams, placing a team in the championship game for four straight years. So we have some really good coach-es working hard for us, understanding what we want accomplished at the younger lev-els. I have been lucky to have such great coaches to work with since I became head coach.” For POY, Connor received all but three votes, which went to Waite 6-4 senior guard Taywyn Mason, Clay 6-1 senior guard Patricc Booth, and Cardinal Stritch Catholic 6-5 junior guard/forward Austin Adams. Connor is joined by teammate Jared Rettig, a 6-2 junior guard on the All-Press fi rst team, and joining them are Adams, Eastwood 6-1 senior guard Jacob Schmeltz, and Genoa 6-2 junior wing Luke Rightnowar.

When you walk into Ryan and Tony’s Barber Shop in Millbury, you will fi nd sev-en local school mascots painted on the wall by artist Deano Davis. Lake basketball coach Ryan Bowen, who co-owns the shop with Tony Meadows, can now add another plaque to his wall — the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Coach of the Year. It is Bowen’s fourth straight AMJ All-Press COY honor, which was bestowed on him once again by voting from 10 area coaches and 10 area media members. As a matter of fact, Coach Bowen has been the Lake head coach for only four years, so he has never been at the helm without receiving the award. The last time a different coach received the honor was in 2009-10 when it went to former Eastwood coach Todd Henline. However, this year Coach Bowen gets to add a fi fth plaque to the wall — his son, Lake six foot tall junior point guard Connor Bowen is All-Press Player of the Year. Connor, the reigning Northern Buckeye Conference POY, averaged 22.4 points, 8.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.2 steals in lead-ing the Flyers to a 21-2 season and league championship.

“Connor has been tremendous for us this season,” Coach Bowen said. “He is an extension of our coaching staff on the court. He makes things easy for us coaches. He brings an enormous amount of energy every practice and is our guy to run all of our offenses. His experience over his fresh-man and sophomore years is defi nitely pay-ing off.” At one time this season, the Flyers were ranked fourth by the Associated Press in Division II statewide voting, sandwiched between state fi nal four qualifi er Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary and regional semi-fi nalist Dayton Dunbar, both perennial powers. Lake’s season came to an abrupt end at the hands of defending Division I state runner-up, Rogers, in a 94-74 sectional fi nal

shootout at Clay. Their only other loss was to league foe Eastwood during the regular season.

In the last two years, the Flyers have established themselves as a premier team in the NBC. Last year, Connor Bowen, Jayce Vancena, Marcus Pierce and company went 19-4 and just missed winning their second straight league title, falling to Eastwood, 61-

60, in the fi nal game of the regular season. Connor was a fi rst team All-Press choice as a sophomore, averaging 14.2 points and 8.1 assists.

During the 2011-12 season, NBC and All-Press POY Rashad Smith (19.2 pts.) and Josh Tantari led the club to a 17-6 record, a share of the inaugural NBC title and ad-vanced to the D-III district fi nals.

Dan Steingraber started out small but wanted to go big – really big.

The 56-year-old Oregon resident, who played baseball, football and hockey at Waite High School before graduating in 1975, owns his own real estate appraisal business, Steingraber and Associates, on Main Street in East Toledo. In his spare time he and his four-legged companion, named Scout, compete in dog bird hunting competitions.

Steingraber started hunting rabbits with his father, Bud, and grandfather, Gus, beginning at age 9. Their dog breed of choice back then was a beagle.

“We hunted around Northwest Ohio,” Steingraber said. “I’ve loved the interaction with the dogs and watching the dogs do what they were born to do.”

Steingraber and Scout — and Steingraber’s human partner, Kevin Keisel from Pennsylvania — competed in the United Field Trialers Association (UFTA) Flushing Doubles National Championship from Feb. 14-22 at the Doublehead Resort in Town Creek, Ala.

“We’ve run dogs together for a long time,” Steingraber said, referring to Keisel.

Steingraber and Keisel competed against 47 other doubles teams to win the event, and the fi rst-place price of $1,485.

“You get in a (hunting) blind and they set six (quail) in this fi eld,” Steingraber said. “In doubles fi elds, they’re usually larger (birds) and it’s a 10- to 15-acre range. You and your partner get out of the blind with a judge. When you’re ready to go, you let the dog loose. Whoever’s dog fi nds the bird the fastest, with the least about of bul-lets, wins. Our time was 6:55.

“To win these big events, everything has to go perfect. It doesn’t go perfect that often, which is why you don’t win all these big events. We fl ushed them, shot them and (the dogs) retrieved them. All of the dogs at this level are great retrievers. Retrieving is not an issue. It usually comes down to shooting.”

Steingraber’s retriever on this oc-casion was his seven-year-old female

Three-sport Waite athlete now bird hunting champ

United Field Trailers Association champion Dan Steingraber and Scout.

Springer spaniel, Scout, who was raised by Steingraber since she was a pup.

“She’s just a heart-charger, just a mil-lion miles and hour,” said Steingraber, who used a 12-gauge Ruger over-under during the competition. “She’s my second Springer from the same breeder. I had a lot of success with the fi rst one, Belle.”

The UFTA National Championship is one of the largest dog trials in the country, and Steingraber called his win there a “sig-nifi cant accomplishment.”

“I’ve been competing around the coun-

try for about 10 years,” he said, “and this is my fi rst national championship.”

Steingraber said he has fi nished in the top 10 a few times and took sev-enth, with Belle, at the 2009 National Bird Dog Challenge Association World Championships in Iowa.

“Initially I was looking for a way to ex-tend my hunting season,” he said. “There’s a group of hunting clubs that semi-circle south and west of Cleveland, and they run small local trials called hunter’s trials, which are judged events where they just

judge the dog. I was having a signifi cant amount of success in those.

“Through running in those, you hear from guys about other events. They used to have the Northwest Ohio Gun Dog Circuit, which was a small organization but was si-miliar in format to the UFTA. We ran six tournaments a year in Northwest Ohio. Me and Belle were having a lot of success in those events. Belle is 14 now, but she’s not in competitions anymore.”

Steingraber, who ran for Lucas County Commissioner in 2010, said he was always looking for the next level of bird dog compe-tition. He began competing locally, then re-gionally before moving on to the next level. That’s when he became involved with the National Bird Dog Challenge Association, which was founded in 1995.

“We started competing nationally around 2005 or ‘06,” Steingraber said. “We were competitive, just learning the game at that level. The highlight with Belle was making it to the fi nals of the world cham-pionships in 2009. We transitioned into UFTA because there were more local events and less travel.”

At the UFTA national event, doubles competition hunters have a 20-minute time limit to hunt and are allowed 12 shells. Steingraber said the rules simply come down to this: the team that fi nds and bags six birds the fastest and has the most shells left, wins. Hunters can either keep the birds or donate them locally.

“If you take more than one shot to kill a bird, you lose,” Steingraber said. “That’s how competitive it is. You make any mis-takes at all, you lose.”

The dog’s performance is also key.“The dogs must retrieve to within one

step of you for full credit,” Steingraber said. “Each shell you use results in a deduction of points, as will a partial retrieve. Once you bag your sixth bird and leash your dog, the time stops and you are awarded 2 points for each minute you have left.”

Steingraber, who also competes in sin-gles competitions, said his next event is in late March in West Liberty, Ohio. He and Scout have made it to the singles Nationals in four of the past six years, fi nishing as high as seventh.

After a long season, the Lake cheer-leading squad rose to the occasion when it mattered most, winning a Division II state crown. “It was a surprise,” said Lake coach Kelly Melnyk. “Going into the state cham-pionship, we wanted to go out and do the very best we could. We were going up against teams we had never seen before. The goal was to go out and do the very best we could — it was the first time Lake had gone to state. Going into the event, we had competed in several different competitions prior and had taken second in all of them.” To win the title, the Flyers had to slay a few proverbial dragons by defeating Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary and Cleveland Central Catholic. And there’s nothing like performing at the highest level when every-thing is on the line, something Melnyk says the cheerleaders were able to do during the competition at the Stroh Center at Bowling Green State University. “Coming into state, the girls were intimidated because of the level of compe-tition, but once they saw Cleveland Central Catholic’s routine, they knew that they had a chance,” Melnyk said. “They knew that our stuff and our whole routine did add up. When we went back into the warm-up room, the seniors took over and said, ‘This is our last competition, we need to do our very best. We know we can do this.’ “It was the best routine I saw us do. Every stunt hit. I’ve never seen a routine go so well. They had high energy throughout the entire routine. We were a little shaky in warm-ups, the pyramids had given us some problems but when they went out during the performance, they did well.” Melnyk credited her four seniors, Kelsey Little, Kylie Grear, Leah Hughes and Brittany Ennis, for consistently giving the group direction when things went south. “They’ve been the leaders of this

Lake cheerleaders win state championship

team,” Melnyk said. “When things get dif-ficult, they’re the ones to look at the girls and say, ‘We can do this.’ They keep setting the bar higher and they would achieve the goal and we’d set the bar higher and then achieve the goal and then we won state.” Melynk notes that four girls quit the team after the squad had put the whole competition routine together. On top of that, there were whispers that the squad wasn’t going to be able to overcome the obstacles and perform when it mattered most. “They just wanted to really overcome that,” Melynk said. “It was kind of their motivation to overcome and show every-body. We are an awesome team and we can do anything if we set our mind to it, and that’s exactly what they did. They put the goal of going into state and doing the best routine they possibly could, and they did that, and they’re state champions.” Melnyk says the physical and mental stamina that comes with cheering requires a lot of hard work and dedication. “The girls put in just as much time as probably any other sport,” Melnyk said. “We were here all summer long, running and weight lifting. You have to have that agility to get through a two-and-a-half minute routine — they’re yelling, dancing, throwing girls and you have to get through a routine with that same smile and make it look like it’s completely easy for them.”

Northwood building program Genoa also qualified to the state meet at the Stroh Center and so did Lake’s Lemoyne Road rival, Northwood, which finished second in Division III, giving the area two of the tops teams in Ohio. The Rangers finished 17 points behind West Jefferson. Under the director of coach Naomi Smith and behind the leadership of the five seniors, Paige Jenson, Ashley Fullenlove, Alyssa Arman, Jessica Tonti and Amalya Stevenson, the Rangers finished second for the second consecutive year. What’s special about this group is the fact that Smith has been with them since their grade school days. She’s been with the program for 10 years and helped to strengthen the Little Rangers cheerleading program with the very girls that she’s cur-rently coaching. “This is my 10th year and third year at the high school,” said Smith, who credits her assistant Marie Ramirez with being instrumental in the team’s success. “I revived the pee-wee program, the Little Rangers. This year’s seniors, they were third graders when I started. The pee-wee program keeps growing. I want to say I had about 45 girls in the program this year. I figured that if I got the girls practicing at a younger age, it would help the high-school program. “I’ve been with your daughters for so long that I care for them like they were my own, but we fight like mother and daughters. But it’s helped that we’ve been together so long.” For cheerleaders, it is not like most sports that last roughly three months. The sport is basically a nine-month commit-ment that requires plenty of mental and physical training. “Our weight room is open and we start practices the week school goes out,” Smith said. “We get back to school in September and we don’t stop until March. We go to camp and train a couple times per week during the summer.”

BoxBoxEastwood’s Cassidy Rolf signs to play softball at Owens

Cassidy Rolf will bring added power to the Express softball lineup starting in 2014-15 after she signed to play at Owens Community College. Rolf is a senior third baseman at Eastwood.

In her junior season, she led the Eagles in home runs on her way to being named to the All-County and All-Press fi rst teams, as well as All-District and All-Northern Buckeye Conference second teams.

As a junior, Rolf hit a home run as part of a four-run inning for the Eagles to help them past Elmwood in the district cham-pionship. Eastwood later lost to Bloom-Carroll in the Division III state semifi nal, but fi nished the year 29-4.

Rolf wrapped up her junior season hit-ting .417 with 39 RBI, 39 runs, 19 extra-base hits and rounded it out with nine steals. Rolf was also a member of the volleyball and bowling teams at Eastwood.

In her sophomore season, Rolf was named to the All-NBC, All-District, All-Press and All-County fi rst teams. (— by Nick Huenefeld/Owens Sports Information)

Genoa graduate and University of Kentucky junior thrower Brad Szypka didn’t underestimate the mental boost he got from winning the Southeastern Conference indoor track and fi eld shot put title.

Winning the gold medal at the SEC meet on March 1 in College Station, Texas, was just what Szypka needed before head-ing off to compete at the NCAA Division I Indoor Championships March 14-15 in Albuquerque, N.M.

“I came in (to the SEC meet) ranked No. 1 and I was leading the SEC the entire year,” said the 6-foot-3, 260-pound Szypka. “Coming in, I kind of had a target on my back. I was consistent all year, over 63 feet. A lot of guys were 61 or 62 (feet) and I told myself they’re going to have to PR to beat me. I just told myself to do what I do and that would be good enough to win. That’s what I ended up doing.”

Szypka captured his fi rst SEC title by throwing the 16-pound shot 63-10.5, be-coming the fi rst Kentucky athlete to win the conference shot put title in a decade.

“I ended up winning by like nine inch-es,” Szypka said. “I led the whole meet. It was amazing. My coach (Andrew Ninow) and I talked about it and said this was my year to step it up and win it. It was an amazing experience to step up there and represent UK.”

Last Monday, Szypka became one of nine UK track and fi eld athletes to earn All-America honors for the 2014 indoor season by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). He was the Wildcats’ lone male fi rst-team honoree.

Two days earlier, Szypka placed fi fth at the NCAA national meet in New Mexico, throwing the shot a personal-best 64-0.25. He earned the UK men’s team its only four

points of the meet.Szypka sat in ninth place going into

his third and fi nal attempt in the prelimi-nary round. Only the top eight placers ad-vanced to the fi nals. That’s when he threw his personal best. His previous best indoor throw this season was 63-11.

“I was just under 62 and mid-61 on my fi rst two throws,” Szypka said. “I wasn’t coming out of the back of the throw well. I was slipping and the wind was pretty fast. I was chatting with all of the other throwers – we’re all good friends – and the middle of the ring was the tackiest, roughest (area). I was lining up a little to the left. I said, ‘I got this.’ I went in my third throw and shifted more to the middle and came off the back

and pushed a little harder.“It wasn’t a pretty throw, but I got

through it a little better. I was shocked. I wasn’t having a great meet; a lot of us were struggling. I thought it was just another 62- or 63-foot throw, but then I thought, ‘wow, it’s still in the air!’ It fi nally landed over the 64-foot mark and I was like, ‘wow, will you look at that.’ That put me in second at that point, so I was in second going into the fi -nals.”

Szypka said competing against his SEC rivals during the season helped his confi -dence heading into the national meet.

“When you look at the SEC and the Big Ten, we’re the top two throw conferences in the nation,” Szypka said. “We have the

deepest conferences. To score in our con-ference it took 61 feet, and you don’t see that in any other conference. Our top eight SEC guys were all (ranked) in the top 25 in the nation. When I walked into Nationals, I knew I could compete.”

Even though he was ranked 11th in the nation heading into Nationals, Szypka said, “I knew I could do some damage.”

“I knew I had 64 feet in me,” he said. “I told myself what I was going to do. I took fi fth and threw 64 feet. I walked in with a lot of confi dence, knowing I was one of the top shot-putters in the nation. With a really good day, I thought I could be top three. I’m happy with fi fth place, but I’m not satisfi ed with it.”

Szypka said he fouled on three of his throws in the fi nal round.

“I was chasing it more and pushing a little harder, and all of the throws were landing at 62 (feet),” he said. “I was miss-ing a few technical things because I was a little amped up. I just fouled the last three on purpose. It was what it was, and I was satisfi ed with it.”

Szypka, 21, who is majoring in sec-ondary education, has high hopes for the outdoor season, which has already started. Szypka qualfi ed for the NCAA national outdoor meet as a sophomore and missed the fi nals by one spot, fi nishing 10th with a throw of 60-11.25.

Kentucky’s men’s and women’s teams headed to Phoenix on Wednesday to begin training for the outdoor season.

“I’ll take a little break from the shot un-til we go to Texas in a few weeks,” Szypka said. “We’ll be competing Saturday at the University of Arizona to begin our outdoor season. I’m throwing the discus there. The week after that we will be at the University of Texas and I’ll throw the shot there. That’s one of the biggest track meets of the year and there will be good competition. It will be a good chance for me to open up with a big (throw) and get my qualifying mark for regionals.”

Things just keep getting better and bet-ter for Logan Bryer. In the past three months, Bryer, a Genoa senior, has won a state champion-ship, finished third at a national competi-tion, and accepted an athletic scholarship to the University of Kentucky. Last week, Bryer finished third and fourth in two separate events at the 2014 New Balance Nationals Indoor, an elite competition held in New York featuring some of the best high school throwers in the country. His throw of 73 feet, 8¾ inches earned him a third place finish in the weight throw and a toss of 61-10¼ was good enough for fourth in the shot put. By finishing in the top six, in two events Bryer earned All-American honors. And earlier this month, Bryer won the weight throw (75-¼) and was second in the shot put (57-7¼) at the Division II/III Indoor Track and Field championships at the University of Akron. Bryer relished the chance in New York and that he did so well against superb com-

Genoa’s Logan Bryer fi nishes third at national eventpetition. “The competition there was fantastic,” Bryer said. “It took a throw of 59 feet, 3 inches just to make the final. I went up against kids from California and New York. Being able to call myself an All-American at the high-school level, I’m pretty blessed to represent the state.” Just two months earlier, Bryer chose to continue his throwing career at Kentucky next fall. He had a number of Division I colleges recruiting him and narrowed down his final four choices to Kentucky, Nebraska, Cincinnati and Louisiana State before choosing to attend school in Lexington. “UK, Cincinnati, Nebraska and LSU — I kept it down to those four,” Bryer said. “I kept all four in the same category. Once I really knew where I wanted to go, I let all of them know at the same time. It was tre-mendous — the recruiting process is very fun, but very stressful making sure you’re respecting all the parties. Now I can just relax and throw and train. Just the relief of not having to worry is the most important part.” He says what attracted him to Kentucky is that he sees a school that’s known for having a deeply passionate fan base.

“The support that the school and the community gives you,” Bryer said. There are the little things. The people appreciate how much effort you put forth. It’s almost like a celebrity atmosphere but you fit it in. I love the support the athletes are given, just how much they support you and how they support you academically and with the practices — that was definitely one of the biggest reasons I went there. An added bonus that comes with Bryer committing to UK is the fact that he’ll be reunited with his good friend and fellow thrower, Brad Szypka, a 2011 Genoa gradu-ate, but that had little to do with his deci-sion, he says “I made sure not to go to Kentucky because of Brad,” Bryer said. “He’s a senior (next year) and he’ll be gone soon, but it will be good to have him there when I’m a freshman and he can mentor and help me out with my academics and stuff like that.” As for Szypka, he recently made the area proud by accomplishing an impressive feat as he won the Southeastern Conference Indoor Track & Field title in the shot put with a throw of 63-10½. In fact, it was the first time a Wildcat had won the league title in a decade. When he’s not competing as a Comet

during the spring, Bryer is part of the Northwest Ohio Throws Academy. He trains in Findlay with the group under the guidance of Justin Carvalho, an assistant coach with the University of Findlay men’s track and field team. At this point, Bryer says he can start gearing up for his final season with the Comets and just focus on getting better while trying to make it back to the state tournament. As a sophomore, he finished second in Ohio in the discus with a throw of 177-4 and made it back to the state tour-nament again last season. This season, he’ll be under the guid-ance of Mike Pendleton, the former Woodmore throws coach who has seen all four of his daughters earn college scholar-ship for their performance in the shot put and the discus in recent years. For now, Bryer believes he has to stay focused and remain confident in his abili-ties. “I have thousands of throws under my belt,” he said. “Even in practice, I have some bad throws. I just go back to the training. The training helps me. I’m very confident in what I’ve done. It’s more about the maturity level. I’ve matured and the confidence that I have helps me out a lot.”

with a new family. Come meet them today
