The regional water system superinten-dent in Ottawa County is the latest offi cial to join the list of double dippers in the county. The county commissioners voted unanimously July 17 to accept the retire-ment of Ron Wetzel and then approve his rehire as of Aug. 1, 2014. Under his new terms, Wetzel will be paid $80,558 a year and retain his health benefi ts, earning 4.6 hours of sick leave every two weeks and ac-crue 7.7 hours of vacation time over each two-week period, according to commis-sioners’ records. Wetzel, who has been with county about 15 years, oversees operations at the county’s regional water plant located off Fremont Road just outside Port Clinton’s corporation limits. The system serves resi-dents and businesses from eastern Port Clinton to Oak Harbor. The county publicized Wetzel’s inten-tion to retire and be rehired and held a dis-cussion July 8 in commissioners’ chambers. There were no objections at that hearing unlike two years ago when Wetzel’s bosses, Sanitary Engineer Kelly Frey and offi ce ad-ministrator Gino Monaco, were on the path

Water man is another double dipper

to double dipping – that is retiring and col-lecting a pension while also returning to serve in their previous jobs with an annual salary at the same time. A local businessman was very vocal that the practice needed to be stopped but commissioners still approved those re-quests. Wetzel oversees a staff of fi ve at the plant that offers service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. His experience and his high-level certifi cation were key reasons for honor-ing the request and keeping him on staff, Commissioner Jim Sass said. “Ron is one of the few Class 4 opera-

tors in the state. That plant requires a Class 4 operator to be in place,” he explained. “Ron could have easily retired and found another job somewhere in no time. And we would have spent time looking for some-one and could have easily had to pay an-other $20,000 to $30,000 more for a quali-fi ed person.” Couple that with his familiarity with the plant as well as the local environmental issues such as the algae blooms that have plagued Lake Erie waters for a number of years and the rehiring is justifi ed, Sass add-ed. The source of the plant’s water is a sub-merged intake in Lake Erie. The plant under Wetzel’s care is among those voluntarily testing for microcystin, a toxin in microcytis, the lake’s most harm-ful type of blue-green algae. The blooms are borne out of high levels of phospho-rous caused by runoff from things such as agricultural fertilizer, manure and septic systems. Blooms typically return in mid to late July and last weeks. A high-lev el of the toxin forced Carroll Township to put its residents on alert last September. Residents quit drinking the wa-ter for two days and the township distrib-uted bottled water until safe levels of water returned.

Tax breaksought fornew plantBy Kelly J. KaczalaPress News [email protected]

Oregon council in August will con-sider a proposed ordinance that would ap-prove tax abatements for Oregon Holdings Six LLC, which is developing a new manu-facturing facility in the city. The tax abatements are part of the Community Reinvestment Area program established by the state. If approved by council, Oregon Holdings Six LLC would enter into a Community Reinvestment Area Agreement with the city. The agreement would pro-vide for a new building for a manufacturing facility through an entity affi liated with the company, to be owned by the company and constructed and located in the Community Reinvestment Area. The company would receive a tax ex-emption for 10 years for 100 percent of the real property improvements as a result of the project. As part of the agreement, the company will pay the Oregon City Schools District an amount that equals or exceeds 50 per-cent of the amount of taxes that would have been paid had the property not been exempted from taxes. Ed Harmon, who heads Oregon Holdings Six LLC, said he has worked in the city for the last 12 years. “We started with the fi rst project on Spartan Drive. If I want a building built quickly and on time, I have only one place to build, and that is in Oregon, Ohio,” said Harmon at a council meeting last Monday. “At this time, we have, between Toledo and Oregon, about 1 million square feet of industrial space,” he said. “Particularly in Oregon, we have two projects that are going on.” One of the projects is an addition to Rieter Automotive, a subsidiary of Swiss-based Autoneum, according to Harmon. “This particular project is 40,000 square feet.”

New jobs Sixty jobs will be added to the work-force at the facility located on Spartan Drive, he said.

New river accessThe Village of Oak Harbor just became more accessible with the addition of a 60-foot public dock located along the downtown waterfront. The Oak Harbor Downtown Revitalization Implementation Committee installed the dock as part of the village's wa-terfront development plan. Personal watercraft and shallow draft boats are welcome to utilize the dock, located behind US Bank off of Mill Street, until Labor Day at no charge.

“This will be for manufacturing/dis-tribution. It will produce the parts for the Ford 150, with assembly in Michigan, Kansas and Mexico. These parts will be manufactured here and shipped to those facilities for further assembly.” The estimated cost of the project is $1.8 million, he said. An additional $400,000 will be spent at the location on Spartan Drive, which will be modifi ed to handle the product, he added. The building will be owned by Oregon Holdings Six LLC, but operated by Autoneum, he added. “They have a 10 year lease, and we anticipate them being here for many, many years,” said Harmon. It will bring the total space of Autoneum, not counting its main plant, to 250,000 square feet, he said. The second project is an expansion of Fresenius, a medical care facility in Oregon. “We will be adding 50,000 square feet.to the building,” he said. Most of the jobs will be coming from California. “They’re moving part of the manu-

facturing from California to Oregon,” he said. “In addition to that, we have a proj-ect inside the plant that we will modify to increase its production. We anticipate con-struction to start some time this fall or early next spring, with completion six to seven months afterwards.” “You have a wonderful track record here in Oregon,” said Councilman Jerry Peach. “We appreciate the investment in both your time and capital investment you’ve made in our community.” “We’ve invested somewhere north of $25 million in this town,” said Harmon. “We continue to do so. We have a couple of other projects beyond these two. And we are marketing and selling Oregon nation-ally.” Industrial base Administrator Mike Beazley said Harmon, who is also chairman of Spartan Logistics LLC, has developed many proj-ects in the city over the last several years. “He has a long history of doing some outstanding development here in Oregon,” Beazley said of Harmon. “In the past, we have done some rou-tine tax abatements that made it a little eas-ier for the company to choose Oregon and

allow the creation of some jobs here. This is a similar venture,” said Beazley. Harmon developed his fi rst facility on Wales Road in Northwood about 20 years ago. He owns nine different facilities in Oregon and Northwood and owns 6 million square feet of commercial and industrial properties across the country, from New York to California. Besides Fresenius, Caraustar, the na-tion’s largest supplier of gypsum facing paper in North America, and the second largest manufacturer of convolute-wound and spiral-wound paper tubes and cores, is among the companies drawn to Harmon’s facilities in Oregon over the years. Mayor Mike Seferian said the city’s real strength is its industrial base. “It’s our lifeline. We have a great rela-tionship and we provide services here for the industrial based businesses. We try to make it easy for them to do business here,” said Seferian. Council will consider passing the ordi-nance at a meeting on August 11 after the Oregon school board considers supporting a resolution in favor of the measure, he added.

Tax abatement sought for new plant

Crosswalksigns added By Cynthia L. JacobySpecial to The Press

New bright neon signs promoting pe-destrian safety popped up on the main street of Oak Harbor this week. And motorists likely took a double take as their vehicles passed the four-foot signs posted along the center line of Water Street near the Portage District Fire Station and a block down from the State Route 19 inter-section. The signs emphasize that it’s state law to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks. The white crosswalk striping - which has faded over the years as traffi c treads over its path - will get a fresh coat of paint in weeks to come, Village Administrator Randy Genzman said. The signs are a direct result of com-plaints received regarding walker safety in both areas. One of the most vocal has been resident Dennis Schiets, Benton Street. The retired long-haul trucker has appeared at a number of spring and summer council meet-ings to comment on the plight of walkers in the downtown crosswalks. He’s also com-plained about the traffi c tie-ups and blocked entrances occurring when a train passes through town. It’s been his experience in other towns across that nation, that the village has the right to demand motorists not block those entrance/exit areas near the railroad tracks. He said he has seen signs posted in other communities and that motorists can be fi ned for continuing the practice. Village offi cials are reviewing whether such action is legal here, Genzman said. In the meantime, they’ve spent $900 on the two vibrant signs they hope will be attention to walker safety and help reduce the possibility of accidents by making driv-ers more aware of the crosswalks and pedes-trian rights, Genzman said. The signs will removed in late fall be-fore the snow fl ies.

An independent task force headed by former Ohio Attorney General Betty Montgomery will conduct a review of al-legations of sexual harassment within The Ohio State University marching band pro-gram, expanding on an internal investiga-tion that led to the dismissal of Jon Waters, the band’s director. OSU president Michael Drake last week said the task force will report to him directly and will include Ernst & Young, an accounting/consulting fi rm, the Sports Confl ict Institute and outside legal coun-sel. Drake said Ernst & Young will conduct an investigatory review while SCI will re-view the “culture” of the marching band. The legal counsel will provide guidance on Title IX compliance. “Nothing is more important than the safety of our students,” Drake said in a pre-pared statement. Waters, a native of Elmore and gradu-ate of Woodmore High School, had been director of the band since 2012. A two-month investigation by the Offi ce of University Compliance revealed “serious cultural issues and an environ-ment conducive to sexual harassment with-in the marching band.” “In addition, the investigation deter-mined that Director Waters was aware or reasonably should have known about this

Waters dismissed as director

Outside review planned of OSU band allegationsculture but failed to eliminate it, prevent its recurrence and address its effects,” the statement said. The investigation revealed conduct by “members of the band and staff” that is described as “inconsistent with the univer-sity’s values and Title IX requirements.” The university said it will move quick-ly to hire an interim band director and the band season will continue. Waters had been named interim di-rector of the band when his mentor Jon Woods stepped down after 28 years at the helm. Waters is credited with taking the 225-member band’s half-time performances to another level and in 2013 what is called ‘The Best Damn Band in the Land” became an Internet sensation with formations de-picting popular movies, the music of artists such as The Beatles and Michael Jackson and other icons of pop culture. Waters had been a member of the band as a student. In November 1998, he had the distinction of dotting the “I” in a formation of the word “Ohio” during half-time of the Buckeye’s game with Michigan. He visited Elmore earlier this month, accompanied by about 15 members of the band and the mascot, Brutus Buckeye. The village issued a proclamation hon-oring Waters. In 2013, university offi cials increased the school’s contribution to the band pro-gram budget to $1 million from about $220,000 – enabling the band to travel to more football games.

By Alex SobelPress Contributing [email protected]

For years, Art Alvarado has been per-fecting the craft of making custom electric guitars from scratch. After years of fine-tuning his skills, he’s finally opened a store of his own, where he can not only sell his guitars, but also create them.

“The store is more my workshop, that happens to have a storefront to display my (completed) guitars,” he said.

Alvarado Hand Made Custom Guitars opened on 312 Main Street in East Toledo about seven months ago. It is just down the street from Frankie’s Bar.

Alvarado’s relationship with guitars didn’t begin with playing the instrument. His first experience came from buying gui-tars for his son.

“I knew that (my kids) needed a positive influence in their lives. I always thought that music was it,” said Alvarado.

Alvarado believes that learning an in-strument is so much more beneficial to kids than just having the ability to play music.

“If you learn an instrument, you set goals for yourself that are obtainable,” he said. “With a guitar, you can express your feelings. You don’t need to keep them bot-tled up.”

Before starting to build guitars, Alvarado had no carpentry or building ex-perience at all. But one fateful day in a gui-tar store, where he was looking for equip-ment for his son, his interest was sparked.

“I walked into a guitar store, and you know how people say that they heard a voice? It was pretty much like that,” he said. “I’d never even thought about making guitars, but I heard something within me say ‘What are you doing here?’ That’s all it had to say.”

It took Alvarado time to figure out what materials he needed and how to go about constructing handmade instruments, but after that day, he never doubted that making guitars was his calling.

“From the time I left that store, I knew that this is what I was meant to do,” he said.

For Alvarado, it is rewarding work, but it’s also a tough business, especially when he feels the pressure from others who think he should make guitars that look more like brand name guitars.

“People want to play (instruments) that look like the ones their heroes play,” he said, “but that’s not why I got into mak-ing guitars.”

Anyone who comes into Alvarado’s shop will see that the designs aren’t like anything produced in a factory. To make them even more special, Alvarado never makes the same guitar twice.

“Every one of my guitars is a one-off,” he said. “They’re not coming off of some

Alvarado’s gig is making custom guitars from scratch

computer driven program, they come from my hands. They’re hand built, hand cut, hand carved, hand polished.”

Even though Alvarado makes each guitar different from any other instru-ment in existence, including a unique name for each- including “FalconKing,” “Lemondrop,” and “Addison”- he keeps his prices low, so that the chance to own a handmade guitar isn’t just open to those with a lot of money to spend.

“My prices are low for what I do,” Alvarado said. “Even if they’re the same

price as an off-the-rack guitar, mine are one-of-a-kind.”

Still, the payoff for Alvarado isn’t in the money, but the creativity he puts into each unique instrument.

“(Building guitars) is my expression,” Alvarado said. “It’s my contribution to mu-sic.”

For more information on Art Alvarado’s custom guitars, call 419-309-0076 or visit www.alvaradoguitars.com. The store is open Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Voters in the Woodmore Local School District will decide this fall whether or not they want to fund a new auditorium at the high school. The school board Monday unanimous-ly approved a resolution to place a bond issue on the November ballot that would, if passed, generate approximately $4.5 mil-lion for the construction of a new auditori-um and other improvement projects in the district. Karen Botzko, interim treasurer, said

the board will ask the Sandusky County auditor to certify a 1.98-mill, 25-year levy request for the Nov. 4 election. Linda Bringman, school superinten-dent, said the auditorium plans include a seating capacity of 600. The new facility would be constructed where the Hetrick wing is now, she said. The wing, which houses seventh and eighth grade classes, will be demolished next year and those students will be enrolled in a new building in Woodville that will house

pre-kindergarten through the eighth grade. The board considered two resolutions for bonds - a 25-year issue and 37-year is-sue - before deciding to place the 25-year issue before voters, Bringman said. Woodmore voters in 2012 approved a bond issue that is providing about $15.7 million for the local share of the cost of the elementary building in Woodville. The Ohio Facilities Construction Commission is providing just over $7 million for con-struction costs.

New regulations covering subdivisions in Wood County will be on the agenda of the county commissioners’ Aug. 5 meeting. The county planning commission has approved a fi nal draft of the 70-page docu-ment. Dave Steiner, director of the planning commission, said the new regulations will replace regulations adopted in 1989 that include an update to open space rules ap-proved in 2005. “The new regulations will take into account all of the law changes and court

cases that have occurred since 1989,” Steiner said. “They will also address issues that have been an on-going problem for the planning commission such as maintenance of storm water systems, detention/reten-tion ponds and open space.” In effect, the planning commission has “married” the new regulations to another set of regulations established by the coun-ty engineer’s offi ce entitled “The Wood County Subdivision Site Improvement Manual,” he said, noting the engineer’s document establishes design standards for streets, storm water facilities, drainage sys-tems, as well as maintenance provisions for storm water and drainage systems.

“The thought being that rather than have the redundancy of both documents containing the same language, the sub-division regulations would reference the appropriate requirements in the site improvement manual and vice versa,” Steiner said. The new regulations are based on a model set of regulations drafted by the County Commissioners Association of Ohio and the County Engineers Association of Ohio. “By doing this we were comfortable the contents of our document were up to date as well as legally sound,” Steiner said.

New Wood County subdivision regs on agenda

The Oregon Branch Library will be closed temporarily starting Aug. 11 for an expansion project that will add 3,700 square feet to the facility at 3340 Dustin Road. A temporary site in the former Wynn Elementary School will be open beginning the last week in August. Rhonda Sewell, media relations coor-dinator for the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, said an exact day hasn’t been deter-mined for what library offi cials are calling the Wynn Center but hours will be Monday and Tuesday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Oregon Library to close, expansion beginning Work on the Dustin Road branch is scheduled for completion by June or July 2015. The project is expected to cost about $2.5 million. Almost all of the additional fl oor space will be dedicated to public use, including a room for children story times and a room for teens with access to the Internet. A meeting room is being expanded and there will be a 24-hour lobby area for pa-trons to drop off and pick up materials. An auction of some of the library’s fur-niture is planned for late August.

The branch was built in 1988 and cov-ers about 14,800 square feet. Other branches nearby are in East Toledo: • Birmingham Branch Library, 203 Paine Ave. (Hours: Monday and Tuesday, 9 a.m.-8:30 p.m. and Wednesday through Friday, 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m.) • Locke Branch Library, 703 Miami St. (Hours: Monday and Tuesday, 9 a.m.-8:30 p.m. and Wednesday through Friday, 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m.) For information, contact Oregon Branch Library offi cials at 419 259-5250.

Oregon received two bids for the Coy and Dustin roads intersection improve-ments project, which is scheduled to begin in August. Public Service Director Paul Roman said he would have liked to see more bids. “Both contractors who bid are good contractors,” said Roman at a committee of the whole meeting last Monday. Ropper Construction, Inc., of Willard, submitted a base bid of $999,999 with al-ternate bids of $56,230. Crestline Paving & Excavating submitted a base bid for $1,006,640.13 with alternate bids of $100,300. Council on Monday will consid-er approving a contract with Ropper Construction, Inc., for a total amount not to exceed $1,056,229. Ropper had the lowest and best bid. “This is a project we’ve been planning for the last three years or so,” said Roman. The project consists of widening and

resurfacing Coy to provide turn lanes at Dustin Road for the installation of a new traffi c signal at Dustin Road. The work on Dustin will involve full removal of the ex-isting concrete pavement and replacement with a new asphalt pavement section. There will also be drainage replacement and utility relocation work associated with the project along Coy Road.

The city received a grant cover-ing 80 percent of the costs of the proj-ect, or up to $827,200, from the Federal Highway Administration through the Ohio Department of Transportation. The project, which is included in this year’s budget, will extend into next year be-fore it’s completed, said Roman. “Traffi c lights usually take the longest to be delivered. So they usually fi nish the construction, go back to stop signs, and eventually when the lights come in, the project will be done,” said Roman. Council President Dennis Walendzak asked Roman if the project has a connec-tion to improvements planned for the Coy-Navarre intersection, or are the projects separate. “We will certainly try to tie into the timing of Coy and Navarre,” said Roman, of the traffi c signals. Coy, he said, will have a green light un-til a car on Dustin comes up to Coy to make a left turn, which will trigger the light to change. “Otherwise, Coy will be a green light,” he said.

During a visit Wednesday to Toledo and Oregon, the director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency praised several public water systems for their co-operation in a voluntary program to test for microcystin levels. But Craig Butler said the U.S. EPA has taken too long to determine what drinking water standards should be. “We need a target to test against,” Butler said during a stop at the City of Oregon’s water treatment plant on N. Curtice Road. In addition to testing its own raw wa-ter for microcystin, a type of toxin that

EPA visit highlights battle with Lake algal bloomscan be produced by blue-green algae, the city’s plant has also been processing sam-ples from the cities of Clyde, Findlay and Monroe, Mich. as well as Carroll Township, Kelleys Island and the Ottawa County re-gional water treatment system. Doug Wagner, superintendent of wa-ter treatment in Oregon, said the arrange-ment saves time and money for the entities, which take turns buying the test kits that cost $485. Since 2010, Oregon has been perform-ing its own on-site testing for algal toxins. The Ohio EPA has developed a re-sponse strategy for algal blooms for public water systems that is updated annually. The 2014 draft document calls for volun-tary weekly sampling for microcystin and

more frequent sampling if detected levels are above 5 parts per billion in a system’s untreated water. While the city conducts sampling several times a week during the summer months when algal bloom are more com-mon, the agency samples public water systems for microcystins in response to a bloom. Water treatment, Wagner said, can be a “serious balancing act” as the use of chlo-rine to eradicate microcystin can result in elevated levels of trihalomethanes - a group of four chemicals formed when chlorine or other disinfectants used to control micro-bial contaminants in drinking water react with naturally occurring organic and inor-ganic matter in water.

Also in Oregon, Butler and Mike Baker, chief of the Ohio EPA’s division of drink-ing and groundwaters, and local offi cials toured a section of Wolf Creek where the city is realigning parking areas and storm drainage swales to reduce run-off into the creek. A federal-state grant is being used to help fund the project. The group’s fi rst stops were at the City of Toledo’s Bay View waste water treatment plant and an overfl ow storage basin in East Toledo under construction. A high-level of the toxin forced Carroll Township to put its residents on alert last September.

There will be some improvements at the corner of the Navarre-Coy intersection, he said. Trucks, he said, have caused damage to the curb while attempting to make a turn. “We’re going to try and repair that the best we can. It won’t be the full repair that we’re wishing for, but what we plan to do is apply for other safety funds and look at a dedicated right turn at northbound Coy and Navarre and do a major improvement there,” he said. “That would be the true improvement at Coy and Navarre. But this will tie into that. We are planning that as an improvement in the future.” “Mr. Roman and I have discussed the turn radius at Navarre and Coy that has not allowed trucks to make that turn without sometimes going over the curb and doing damage to the landscape next to the curb,” said Councilman Jerry Peach. He added that he looked forward to seeing the proj-ect completed, particularly because nearby Rite Aid has an “exemplary landscaping display there.” “This project should help make it look much better,” said Peach.

Mayor Mike Seferian said his adminis-tration may come up with a recommenda-tion to council to have sidewalks installed in the city. “The topic of sidewalks has come up several times,” said Seferian. The sidewalks would be in subdivi-sions or businesses where they weren’t in-stalled completely, he said. “We can put something together, and then council can pick the time frames if they want to act on it or have them in new subdivisions after so many years. Then sidewalks would be ordered in once the subdivision got so far under way,” said Seferian. “We have a few that may have had the subdivisions in for 17 or 18 years, and there’s fi ve or six lots that have not been de-veloped where the sidewalks ended. It kind of defeats the purpose of having a sidewalk

Oregon may require installation of city sidewalksif they are terminated at a certain point. So we may put something together, and have council add or tweak it.” The city is also inspecting sidewalks in neighborhoods to determine which are in need of repair as part of its sidewalk main-tenance program. Council on Monday will consider a resolution for the repair and reconstruction of sidewalks in the city. If a sidewalk is found to be in need of repairs, the section will be marked with an “X” with white paint. Property owners are responsible for the repairs, according to Public Service Director Paul Roman. The city is responsible for repairing sections marked with an “O.” The damage to those sidewalks are usually damaged by roots of trees located within the public right of way. Residents received formal notices by certifi ed mail in June that requires them to have damaged sidewalks repaired within 45 days. Property owners can make the re-

pairs themselves or allow the city to hire contractors to make the repairs, the cost of which will be assessed against the proper-ty. Property owners will have to pay the as-sessment within 60 days of notice or it will be put it on their taxes for over two years, according to Roman. If the property owners choose to hire a licensed contractor to replace their side-walks or perform the work themselves,

a permit must be obtained from the city’s Building and Zoning Department. A permit is only required for reconstructing or re-placing a sidewalk section. If you are mak-ing a repair (concrete leveling, grinding, etc.) to a sidewalk section, a permit is not necessary. All work must conform to the city’s rules and regulations for construc-tion of driveways, sidewalks and curb cuts specifi cations. Roman said the sidewalk maintenance program is not annual. There were no no-tices sent out in the last few years due to major workload on sewer and drainage projects. “We’re able to do a lot more and bring things back up to normal speed,” he added, with the hiring of additional personnel. For more information, contact the city’s project representative, Andrea Beard, 419-698-7162. A link on the sidewalk pro-gram is on the Department of Public Service website at oregonohio.org/Sidewalks/side-walk-program.html.

If there’s somethin’ strange in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call? If you live near Toledo, you might want to call PSEI. PSEI (Paranormal Spirit Encounter Investigations) has been active in the com-munity since January, providing free inves-tigations for any home or business owner troubled by hauntings or demonic attacks. One recent investigation, which ended with PSEI bringing in a Roman Catholic priest to perform an exorcism on a house in East Toledo, will be featured on the Travel Channel’s “The Dead Files” Aug. 2. “Our goal is to help a family or busi-ness owner be happy in their home or busi-ness again,” said Al and Tami Luna, the founders of PSEI. “When we fi rst contacted the family in East Toledo, they were ready to move out of the house, but after the exor-cism, we hadn’t heard from them in a while and found out it was because they had been busy being happy and living life. “Before, they could hardly sleep be-cause they were being held down in bed, scratched and pushed down the stairs, so what we do really does help people,” Al said. The names of the individuals involved in the upcoming “Dead Files” episode can-not be published until after the episode airs, but it involves a mother and her female partner, a daughter and her 2-year old son. Prior to the fi lming of this episode, only the daughter remained in the East Toledo home, while the other three moved out. Al originally met the haunting victims because of his fondness for distributing PSEI business cards. He handed one to the cashier at a local Taco Bell sometime after “Dead Files” performed their initial inves-tigation, and she asked if they could help her. Al accepted the challenge. “We had been active in another group for about four years, which we left in January, because they didn’t want to deal with anything demonic or get spirits out of homes,” said Al. “They kind of felt they got evidence of apparitions for their entertain-ment but wouldn’t help exorcise the spirit. Sometimes they said they would put the homeowner in contact with someone who could help, but we don’t know if they ever did or not. Tami and I feel we have an ob-ligation to help people through to the end, and we’re very interested in helping people feel comfortable in their own homes.” PSEI consists of six members. Al and Tami are the founders and senior investi-gators, while Ray Williamson, Amy Rupp, Corey Todd and Earl Brannon are investi-gators with specifi c talents. Then there is the priest, who lives in the Detroit area and is not an offi cial member of the group, but makes himself available any time they need him, “We’ve used him twice this year for exorcisms,” said Tami. “We can’t use his name, because most priests are not able to go public with what they are doing. The Bishop refused to let Dead Files record the exorcism, which he performs in Latin. We don’t understand what he is saying, but there is a reason we do it that way.”

Looking at history Most investigations actually begin in the library or government center, where the team goes through historical records to

Toledo’s real ghostbusters featured on Travel Channel

fi nd out what has happened on or near the property. One house that the Lunas visited in Michigan was haunted, they believe, be-cause of a railway accident that happened nearby, but the team looks for any event which may have caused ghosts or spirits to want to be there. Then they perform the initial inter-view. Many reported hauntings can be de-bunked before PSEI sets up any equipment, when they try to think of natural explana-tions for hearing noises. “The Dead Files” typically begins their investigations by having Amy, a psychic medium, walk through the property to pick up signals. PSEI does not have a psychic because they haven’t found someone they felt was trustworthy, Al said. PSEI’s tools are more scientifi c and include Infra-red cameras, a minimum of four of which are placed at hot spots within the location, and MEL and KII meters which measure low level electricity in the air. “Ghosts are made up of a plasmic en-ergy, generally at very low levels on the readouts we get,” said Al. “Generally 1.0 to 5.0 milligals is a strong signal, but if you get better equipment it can get up into the 40s. At the house in East Toledo, we did not get a visual, but we did pick up strange things on the cameras. Some people believe orbs have nothing to do with apparitions, but where we pick them up makes us think that it has something to do with spiritual powers.” It can take longer than an hour to set up all of the cameras in different areas, and they are sometimes at a location until 3 a.m. They also carry digital recorders and a device called a Voice Box through which ghosts have sometimes been able to speak. In the East Toledo case, PSEI met with the family on Feb 27 and learned from them that “The Dead Files” had discovered at least four demonic spirits after Amy’s psychic walk through the house. They dis-cussed hosting an exorcism, and the family requested the priest visit them. During the priest’s interview, he walks through the house and asks the homeown-ers questions that pertain to false gods. Spirits typically enter the physical world

through doorways which can be opened from this side using things like Ouija boards or Tarot cards, Al said, adding PSEI once investigated a house which may have been haunted because of New Orleans beads strung up around the bedroom which held the image of a voodoo god. “Most of the time, the entity haunting a house was already there when the current owners moved in,” said Al. “Even a fortune telling pendulum can open a doorway that lets them in, and generally when you open that door, it won’t be a friendly ghost, it will be something demonic, and they can be very hard to get rid of.” On March 13, the priest arrived and conducted the exorcism. He prayed for an angel to come into the house and pro-tect the family for the entire time they live there, then continued by reciting the prayer or exorcism to St. Michael and a few Psalms in Latin. “Latin is one of the original languages, and it is a pure language, which means that every word in Latin has a specifi c meaning, unlike our language which is very ambigu-ous,” said Tami. “So when he’s telling a demon in Latin to stay out and get out, he really means it.” That was when Al and Tami started getting attacked by demons. “What happened was the mother start-ed getting a stabbing pain in her head and

feeling weak, so she sat down and held the wooden cross the priest had blessed for her,” said Al. “After the pain left her, I started feeling a tingling in my neck and my body temperature went up. So I reached down and grabbed the cross I always wear, and the tingling went away.” Following the demonic attack, the priest went room by room, sprinkling holy water from the attic to the basement, af-ter which a calm fell over the house. The daughter and her boy then came inside to be blessed by the priest, and the 2-year-old started playing with no fear of the house and slept there that night without incident, Al said. A follow-up revealed the daughter liv-ing in the East Toledo house was having no problems, but that the demons had fol-lowed the mother and her partner to their home in North Toledo. PSEI arranged an-other exorcism with the priest, and now all family members seem to be doing fi ne. PSEI does not charge for any of their services, and is willing to travel within an hour of the Toledo area. “We were like a lot of people who watched the TV shows and felt a little in-terested, but I had an experience in the `80s that made me want to know more,” said Al. “I also guide a Haunted History tour in downtown Toledo on Saturdays, and one of the questions I always ask my guests is what is the difference between a ghost and a spirit? If you know the answer, you might win a prize.” The Lunas live in Perrysburg, but have visited numerous locations around Ohio such as the Pemberville Opera House and the original location of Tony Packo’s Hungarian restaurant, both of which they say are defi nitely haunted. Their next case will take them to Sand Creek, Michigan, where they say homeowners have seen four full-body apparitions accompanied by knocking and noise.

nspirational essage of the eek: Blessed are the Poor in Spirit

It may seem odd that the very first of the beatitudes

bestows a blessing on the poor in spirit and promises

that the kingdom of heaven is theirs (Matthew 5:3).

Should we not seek spiritual riches rather than spiritual

poverty? The blessing for the poor in spirit is not meant

to denigrate spiritual treasures but rather to elevate the

spirit of poverty and humility. We would do well to

remember here that the scribes and Pharisees were

paradigms of virtue, rich in spirit and proud of their

piety, but, didn't seem to need or heed Jesus's

message. Jesus had vastly more to offer the weeping

adulteress who was thrown at His feet than he did to

her accusers. And He had more respect for the

impoverished widow who humbly put her two small

coins in the temple treasury than the wealthy who

made a show of putting in larger amounts. God loves

the poor, and those who are poor in spirit even more, so

we should count it a blessing when we are feeling lowly

and humbled. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let

your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to

gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will

exalt you. James 4:9-10


Nothing is to be gained by feel-ing guilty because you are concerned about taking care of your own needs. Unfortunately, you have probably had many encounters with people who equate having a concern for your own well-being with selfi shness. Your happiness suffers when you are not OK. When you are off, you can’t be of help to anyone else either. You have an ob-ligation to take care of yourself. There are many areas where you should strive to be OK. You want to be OK with your emotions. It’s important to understand how you are feeling and why. What makes you happy? What upsets you? By understanding emo-tional cause and effect, you can take action to maximize positive emotions while work-ing to minimize negative ones. Don’t ignore unpleasant feelings, hop-ing they will go away. Being OK emotion-ally requires a conscious strategy of know-ing yourself and how things impact you. You are then in a position to actively par-ticipate in your emotional well-being.

Looking after yourself is not necessarily a selfi sh thing to do

It’s just as important to be OK physical-ly as it is mentally. The health and well-be-ing of your mind and body are inseparable. If you are feeling off mentally, you must not allow your physical state to be neglected. Exercise is one of the best ways to re-duce the negative impact of stress. Just tak-ing a walk is a great way to clear your mind while taking care of your body. Avoid any self-destructive behavior such as substance abuse or over or under eating. Stressing your body also stresses your mind. The last thing you need is to make things worse. Stress should not and does not need to be a way of life. Chronic stress is destruc-tive both mentally and physically. Dealing with stress starts with identifying the cause and then formulating an effective strategy

for lessening it. Hiding from or masking stress only makes things worse. It’s important to be OK fi nancially. There are only two strategies for fi nancial health. Increase your income and/or re-duce your expenses. The best approach combines the two; living below your means. There may be occasions where oth-ers ask you to loan or give them money. It’s OK to make sure your fi nancial needs are met before considering giving to others. You spend more time working than at virtually any other activity. If you are not OK with your occupation, you need to make changes. There is no need to suffer at work. You can change jobs or change your position with your current employer. If you don’t have the skills or education needed, get them. Perhaps your own full or part time business could be an option. Your priorities are another area where you want to be OK. You must be the one to set them, not someone else. A great source of frustration is attempting to fulfi ll priorities which are not your own. Your priorities should be based on your needs

and objectives. Although other people will constantly attempt to dictate your pri-orities, you don’t have to listen to them or convince them otherwise. Connected to your priorities are your goals. It’s virtually impossible to be OK with goals imposed on you. Everyone has their own desires based on personality, experiences, likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. It’s OK for your goals to be in alignment with who you are. Take a look at the various aspects of your life. Identify any areas where you don’t feel things are OK. Figure out the cause of what is wrong and then formulate a plan to make corrections. It is OK to be OK.

The exits on The Nostalgia Highway are at 10-year increments. Enjoy the trip through the pages of The Press.

July, 2004 News: Shane and Anna Cruthers came one small step away from being scammed out of $40,000 worth of gold pendants. The couple, owners of Shaner’s Fine Jewelry & Design in Walbridge, made a deal with a Nigerian man who saw their jewelry for sale on the web. The man, a Joseph Cole, sent a check for $41,650. But, Anna Cruthers did her due diligence and contacted the payer, a credit union in Florida and an of-fi cial there told her the check was fraudu-lent. Dick Eppstein of the Better Business Bureau said such schemes attempting to bilk those selling on the Internet were be-coming common. A house on Third Street in East Toledo, renovated by Housing East Redevelopment Corporation, sold for an East Toledo record price of $110,000. Two California realtors unveiled a plan to turn the historic Masonic Building on Fourth and Main in East Toledo into one of the largest paint ball coliseums in the na-tion. They predicted an estimated 800 to 1,200 kids would play every week. Sports: Monica Sims, Lake grad and an all-conference center fi elder for the Owens Community College softball team, led the nation in stolen bases, going 46 for 46. Price check: Johnny’s on the Spot sold a carton of Kool’s for $26.12. Hot then, gone now: Custom Tours & Travel, Oregon.

July, 1994 News: The Jerusalem Blockwatch of-fered a cash reward for information leading to the arrest of vandals who broke out the taillights of autos owned by two township trustees. A week earlier vandals poured sugar into their gas tanks causing extensive damage. Township residents have been di-vided over zoning issues and whether or not to expand the township hall.

the Lucas County Sheriff’s Department told The Press. Brandville School, home to the Oregon Jerusalem Historical Society, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, the fi rst such building in the City of Oregon to be listed. It was built in 1883. O.J. Simpson was on the run in his white Ford Bronco. Where were you? Sports: The Oregon Bombers, a 12 and under softball team coached by Mike Bihn, defeated fi ve teams before losing the cham-pionship game in the ASA State Softball Tournament held at the Coontz Recreation Complex in Oregon. Price check: Meijer sold Eckrich Franks for 79 cents lb with a $10 minimum purchase.

Hot then, gone now: Anthony’s Restaurant & Lounge, Oregon.

July, 1984 News: Jane Held, Joyce Wise and Carol Kurtz of the Port Clinton chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) were interviewed by The Press about Walter Mondale’s choice for vice-president — Geraldine Ferraro, the fi rst woman cho-sen for a presidential ticket. Sports: Dean Masztak, former University of Notre Dame tight end, joined the Cardinal Stritch coaching staff as an as-sistant coach. Ron Hubbard’s Pemberville American Legion Post 183 baseball team made its fi rst

appearance in the Legion’s state tourna-ment in 18 years. The team was led by Lake grad Kevin Marble who hit .420 with 6 home runs and Woodmore grad Jeff Rospert who hit .410 with 8 home runs. Price check: Genoa Motors reduced its interest rate on new 1984 vehicles to 11.83 APR for a 48-month contract. Hot then, gone now: Circle Starr Western Store in Bono.

July, 1974 News: Steven Reber, a member of the Concerned Citizens for Flood Control, cited a government report that cataloged the ef-fects of different lake levels. The best level for Lake Erie was 570.4 feet about sea level. The level was 573 feet. The higher level benefi ted hydroelectric and navigation interests but shoreline property owners were harmed by fl ooding caused by storms. Reber stated it doesn’t look like the lake will return to normal levels in at least 20 years and high water is here to stay. “We all like to think that there is hope and that the next storm will be the last one, but there is no reason to believe that this is so.” Editor’s note: Average water level to-day is 571 feet above sea level, according to the Lake Erie Waterkeeper. Sports: Jeff Little, a 1973 Woodmore grad, pitched a no-hitter for the Decatur Commodores, a San Francisco Giants farm club. Price check: Dunn Chevrolet Oldsmobile sold a 1974 Chevy Impala for $3,298. Hot then, gone now: Toledo Home Federal Savings & Loan Association, Great Eastern.

Craig Adams, 55, and Ed Cochrane, 82, who both suffer from Parkinson's Disease, work out together at the International Boxing Club. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean)

By Jeffrey D. Norwalk Press Contributing [email protected]

Often, the word “boxing” conjures up a whole barrage of imagery — some of it not so good for some people. Then there’s International Boxing Club founder and executive director Harry Cummins, who has started another new community program. This time, the IBC is helping people living and coping with Parkinson’s disease. Currently, there are 11 Parkinson’s students enrolled in their “Knock-Out Parkinson’s” class. Enrolled is Craig Adams, 55, a Tem-perance, Michigan-based automation sys-tem architect, who’s not only taking on his Parkinson’s headlong with the gusto of a heavyweight champ, but he’s poised to star in the IBC’s annual Celebrity Boxing Night this coming September. Fellow students have agreed to walk out with him and stand in his corner. Another student is 78-year-old Evelyn Brennan, who said the day she fi rst walked into the cavernous gym off Starr Avenue for the somewhat-intimidating-at-fi rst Parkinson’s boxing program, was a bit in-hibited. Just a few months in, she is engag-ing in conversations with other students and actually punching the bag, whereas she used to barely tap it. Then there’s 72- year-old Gil Bertstuber, who after losing 11 pounds, said, “I’ve been involved with the program maybe a couple of months. And to be honest with you, I thought it was kind of a silly idea at fi rst, until I came over and watched them once. That’s when I decided to try it, and it’s so much fun. And, boy, do they work our tushes off. I’m exhausted and soaking wet when I walk out the doors. “I like working the bag the most,” Bertstuber continues, “because it allows you to expend a lot of energy, without mov-ing around a whole lot. I’ve got arthritis in my knee and my shoulder, so it’s nice for that. Everything you can do, as far as ex-pending energy, and doing exercises, helps with the Parkinson’s. My main thing is a tremor in my hand, and a little stiffness, and the program really helps. “The hardest thing for me is getting up early for Monday morning class,” Bertstruber laughs. “But, it’s defi nitely worth it once I get here. It’s just a great, fun program, full of a lot of great, nice people, and I defi nitely look forward to it every week.” Cummins and former University of Toledo occupational therapy grad student and 2007 Clay alumnus Rachel Martinez launched the program in late spring fol-lowing a weekend “training camp” at Rock Steady Boxing, Inc in Indianapolis, Indiana, which educated them on how to do so. “I was really, really impressed with the training camp at Rock Steady Boxing,” of-fers Cummins, who was part of a 12-person

Fighting Parkinson’s

Coping with ‘knock-out fun’ contingent that included mostly occupa-tional therapists and esteemed referee and International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Richard Steele. Steele also took part in the three-day session. Cummins feels focusing on IBC’s pro-gram is important primarily because of the boxing aspect. He says it’s not just it’s his own area of expertise, but also because the IBC Parkinson’s students have taken to it. “Our people in our own class just love to hit the mitts, and they love to work the bags,” says Cummins, “so, we’re trying to tweak our program so it’s a little more boxing-oriented than the program at Rock Steady.” According to the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation, approximately one-million Americans live with Parkinson’s, including 60,000 cases being diagnosed per year. PD is defi ned as a progressive disorder of the brain that can affect balance, coordi-nation, walking and other everyday move-ments that we often take for granted. It can even affect speech and frequently develops rather gradually with just a barely-notice-able tremor in one hand. “These people are fi ghting Parkinson’s Disease,” said Dr. Martinez. “They’re fi ght-ing to maintain what they have. They’re fi ghting for their happiness. They’re fi ght-

ing for their lives.” Thanks to the IBC’s ongoing rela-tionship with Dr. Beth Ann Hatkevich of the University of Toledo and Department of Rehabilitation Science chairwoman Dr. Mich-elle Masterson, the IBC has been able to secure workout partners for their students. “The program has gone way beyond my expectations,” said Martinez. “I chose to

become an occupational therapist because I love to help people. I love to make a differ-ence in peoples’ lives. But, these students have made a difference in my life, too. It’s really inspirational to me to see them par-ticipate in our program, because they just love the boxing. “They love each other, too,” she says. “They just hit it off right away, and I’ve been so impressed with their camaraderie. Everyone seems to be together in this fi ght. And, you know, they are fi ghting some-thing. It’s bigger than climbing into a ring, and fi ghting an opponent.” Cummins adds, “For me, it’s been something to get up in the morning for. We believe it’s a great thing to get everyone involved. We believe if our caregivers are out there working out, too, they’ll be able to see fi rsthand what their loved ones are actually capable of doing. Plus, dealing with Parkinson’s disease along with every-day life, these people naturally have a lot of stress, too.” Log onto www.ibctoledo.org or call 419-244-8955 to inquire about classes, or stop in at 525 Earlwood Ave. (old Fun Spot Roller Rink) in Oregon Mondays and Wednesdays from 9-10 a.m. to check the free program out.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A ...

IT’S A DELICIOUS & DIFFERENT TREAT

DONUT CAKE?DONUT CAKE?

By Yaneek SmithPress Contributing [email protected]

It was a special class, no doubt about it. Genoa’s Class of 2014, which gradu-ated last spring, featured a number of stel-lar athletes and several elite teams that left a mark in the school’s history. In the fall, the football team helped to continue the incredible seven-year run that began when Tim Spiess and Mike Vicars arrived and turned things around. This year’s squad, easily one of the best in school history, went 10-1, won the Northern Buckeye Conference title and fell in heartbreaking fashion to second-ranked Bryan, 43-36, in the playoffs. Many prep gridiron fans believe that if the Comets had defeated the Golden Bears, they would’ve had a good shot at winning the Division IV state title. Quarterback Logan Scott, who will play football at Defiance College this fall, says the bond that existed between the 17 seniors helped the team have so much suc-cess over the past three years. “Even since freshman year, we’ve always been really close,” said Scott, one of the most decorated quarterbacks in the program’s history. “We would hang out outside of football, we were good friends. Once you got on the field with that, you had at least 16 other players that you could trust, so it made it easier to play together. “The most important thing when you look at this class is that none of us were selfish and we did whatever it took for the team to win and we didn’t care about personal records. We didn’t care about how many times we touched the ball. Spiess and Vicars always preached to us, ‘Do it for the team, not for yourself.’” Scott, along with other star players like Casey Gose, David Nutter, Michael Deiter, Quentin Spiess and Ryan Espinoza, got much of the accolades for the team’s success but says the role players and those who did their job by blocking and tackling were just as important. “I think that shows how much heart and how much this group of guys cared about the team,” said Scott, who threw for 1,400 yards and 12 touchdowns last season while setting a single-game school record with 336 passing yards in one game. “Even though they knew they weren’t going to get as much playing time, they knew they were going to contribute to our success. That’s one of the most important things when you talk about chemistry. That shows how trusting those guys are and how much character they have.” Gose, who excelled at running back this year after being used primarily as a wide receiver and kick returner in the pre-

Genoa’s 2014 seniors just ‘one of those special classes’

vious two years, says this group of seniors had its own kind of camaraderie. “All of us played football from fifth grade until this year, except for a select few,” said Gose, who will play baseball next year at Owens Community College. “I would say everyone really gets along. I think it was because we got along and had the same goals and knew what we were there for. I think our class is really close as a whole, and I think that’s what also helped is that people would come and support us (at the games). People were always helping us out. That helped out a lot, too.”

One game from state Gose and five fellow seniors, Scott, Spiess, Alex Hayes, Gabe Yanez and Grant Adams were part of the baseball team that had an incredible two-year run. This sea-son, Genoa finished second in the league and won a sectional title before coming within one out of advancing to the district final. But it was last year that the team left its mark. The Comets, after finishing third in the NBC, embarked on one of the best tournament runs in school history, mak-ing it to the Division III regional final. The run, which included five wins, saw Genoa defeat Elmwood, 3-2, in nine innings in the sectional semifinals before edging Lake, 3-2, in the sectional final. After blowing

out Sherwood Fairview, 13-1, the Comets narrowly defeated Evergreen, 5-4, and beat Lima Central Catholic, 8-3, in the regional semifinals. In the regional final game that would have advanced them to state, they lost to No. 8 ranked Bloom-Carroll, 8-1, ending Genoa’s season at 20-10. “I’m going to remember that every game we played, it came down to the last inning,” said Gose, who earned first team all-league honors in center field plus area coaches voted him to the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press first team. “We were all so young and we didn’t have any seniors,” Gose continued. “It was so cool that we all stepped up and showed leadership. Baseball is such a weird sport, anything can really happen, and you really have to live in the moment.” It was a special experience for Scott, too. “For me personally, it’s a lot more fun when you win by one or two runs,” said Scott, a first team NBC and All-Press selection at first base. “It makes the victory sweeter than if you blow the team out. We got beat by Lake both times in the league and we beat them by one run (in the tour-nament). Winning in that fashion boosted our confidence. We thought, ‘Hey, maybe we can do something.’ Going into the tour-nament last year, nobody expected us to do anything.” Those two consecutive seasons have

helped the Comet baseball program return to the successful days of the past. “When Coach Rightnowar came here, he said, ‘We are going to make people care about baseball again. In one or two years, people are going to know who Genoa is not just for football but for baseball,’” Scott said. “Knowing that people know us in Genoa for baseball, that’s a greater win. Getting more people out to the games, it’s nice knowing that the baseball players feel like they’re important and that they’re not just living in the football team’s shad-ow.” Seniors on the wrestling team had a magnificent run as well, winning the NBC for the second straight season and third time in four years. A group of six seniors, Max Reeder, Nathan Moore, Cody Buckner, Tyler Rozak, Dustin Widmer and Robert Roginski led the Comets to new heights, and three of them, Reeder, Moore and Buckner, advanced to the state meet. As a team, Genoa was 16th in Division III with 16 points. The Comets also won their sec-tional, finished third at districts and had four league champions. Individually, Logan Bryer won the Division II state title in the shot put with a throw of 55 feet, 8 inches and was third in the discus (171-4). Bryer, who will be attending the University of Kentucky to compete with the track team, was second in the discus two years ago.

When you think of Northwood, you probably think about baseball and football, which have been the school’s two premier sports for years.

For nearly 50 years, the Rangers have built and sustained a baseball program that has consistently won league titles. In rec-ognition, Northwood will honor one of its best all-time coaches, Jeff Meyers, during its 10th Annual Northwood Ranger Baseball Alumni Game on August 16 at 1 p.m.

Meyers, who coached the Rangers for 11 years from 1979-89, fi nished his tenure as the winningest coach in school history with 201 victories.

Meyers left Northwood in 1989 to coach baseball in Key Largo, Florida. There, he won 143 games and four league titles at Coral Shore High School. Meyers said no matter where he was at, he treasured the re-lationship he had with his players.

“The big thing about coaching at Northwood is that I had a relationship with the kids that was so great – from the kids who didn’t play one inning to guys like (former player) Dave Minarcin,” Meyers said. “It was tremendous.

“It was 11 years that I’ll never forget, especially the relationship with the kids. The kids in Northwood just love the game, they love the camaraderie. We never had the problems with the parents that people run into at other schools. The parents were great. And because of them, we were pretty successful.

“I give a lot of credit to people that spent a lot of time (coaching youth base-ball). Little league baseball in Northwood was fantastic. I do know that they did such a good job coaching the kids and not berat-ing them and I think that was a big thing. When we got the kids in ninth grade, they understood baseball.”

Meyers was also proud of the fact that the baseball program helped Northwood to establish an identity.

“It’s totally important (for baseball to be our identity),” he said. “The people bought into it. It started before I got there

Northwood coach’s bag was winning championships

Coach Jeff Meyers’ 1985 Northwood team included three All-Ohioans. Front Row — Dan Crispen, Keith King, Tom Gercak, Jeff Schwegler(All-Ohio), Brian Wojcik, Steve Judy, and Dave Minarcin (All-Ohio). Middle row — Chris Armstrong, Jr. Menchaca, Coach Meyers, Dave Russell, and Mike Blazevich. Back row — Dean Edwards, Clark Heter, Doug Smith, Scott Rode (All-Ohio), and Barney Dudas.

– it started with Larry and a little before Larry. That was very important, not just for the players but also for the town.”

Taking on state championsBesides reaching the regional fi nal in

1984, one of the top moments for Meyers was watching his team win two Suburban Lakes League titles while playing against much bigger schools.

“Winning two league titles in the SLL, that was a huge accomplishment,” he said. “To win league titles playing against Lakota, Genoa and Elmwood, that was the apex. That was beyond anything I could fathom.”

He oversaw a special run which saw Northwood win eight league titles, in-cluding seven straight (1979-85), a district championship (1984), a regional fi nal ap-pearance (1984) and four district runner-up fi nishes (1983, 1986, 1988, 1989).

Five players, Joe Vancena, Todd Mahaney, Scott Rode, Jeff Schwegler and Dave Minarcin, earned All-Ohio honors while playing for Meyers.

Minarcin played center fi eld as a fresh-man on the 1984 squad that fell to eventual-state champion Miller City in the Class A re-gional fi nal. His players said the program’s success always meant everything to Meyers.

“When you’re winning, everyone is having fun,” Minarcin said. “I played four years, I had great teammates. The guys I played with were fantastic. That ‘84 senior class – Mike Susor, Denny DeLong, Todd Mahaney, Mike Gregory, Roger Measley and Chris Harrison – they were great lead-ers. There was Scott Rode, Dave Russell and me on that team, too.

“With Coach Meyers, we had the play-ers and he gave us some freedom. He let us go, but he knew that sometimes he had to pull us back. I can tell you, when you’re winning, it’s a lot of fun. We still talk about the fun that we had playing; that overshad-owed the games. The times that we had in the environment he created – it was very fun, very competitive. He didn’t have to push buttons,” Minarcin continued.

“If you hear about these great teams, the coaches hand the keys over to the great

leaders and the coach jumps in when he has to. Unless he felt that he had to do something, he created a very positive envi-ronment. He recognized the classes and he handed the teams over to the seniors. If he didn’t like what he saw, you weren’t going to get chewed out. He’d take you into his offi ce and talk about it with you.”

Minarcin holds a special place in his heart for Meyers and for those who helped build and strengthen the foundation in the program.

“Those early guys really broke through and got it going and set the table,” said Minarcin, who sites Rick and Randy Coy and his brother, Rick, as some of his pri-mary infl uences when he grew up watching baseball.

“They set the standard,” Minarcin said. “Coach Meyers kept the standard and then some. When we were kids, we looked up to those guys. They were great athletes and even better people. We were a product of those guys and what they did.

“The fi rst year was 1964, and (those teams) started to break through and I really think those teams set things up for us. Jeff came in 1979 after Larry Smith and won 20 games with a good team. Those (early) teams should be recognized.”

To give an idea of just how great Northwood baseball was over the years, take this into consideration. The Rangers lost six times in the tournament to the even-tual state champion – 1976 to Leipsic; 1977 and 1984 to Miller City; 1986 to Ottawa Hills; and 1990 and 1992 to Coldwater.

In fact, the 1976 team, which included Rick Minarcin, Doug Canaday, Rick Coy, John Bassitt, and Bob Snider, among others, beat Blissfi eld, a league rival, twice before Blissfi eld won Michigan’s Class C state title that same year.

Minarcin said the two wins over Blissfi eld were important for another reason because Blissfi eld’s pitcher in both games was future Major League pitcher Ray Soff.

“The Rangers beat him twice, which was unheard of,” Minarcin said. Other key members of that Northwood team were Bob Snider, Jay Reckley, Randy Coy, Tim Riddle, Nolan Smith Jerry Brier, Dave Kreger, Ron Shields and Mike Heider.

In six years, Parker’s Purpose has come a long way. The charity, which is named in honor of Parker Inks, a 14-year-old Fremont resi-dent, was founded six years ago when Inks, who suffers from muscular dystrophy, be-came quite ill and had a lengthy stay in the hospital that left his family with a great fi -nancial burden. The fi rst event, which fea-tured Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger as the speak-er in 2008, helped to raise money for the family, who decided to return a portion to pay forward the generosity that was shown to them, thus helping to spur the cause. The cause was advanced further last Friday when former Ohio State great Eddie George spoke before a packed house at Ole Zim’s Wagon Shed in Gibsonburg. The former Heisman Trophy winner played running back at Ohio State from 1992-95 before going on to a successful career with the Tennessee Titans. George, who spoke for approximately 45 minutes, chronicled his life from his days growing up in Philadelphia and attending military

school to playing football at Ohio State and in the NFL and to his current situation, one that fi nds him as a successful entrepreneur and a married father of two. He discussed his experiences in the NFL, from making it to four Pro Bowls to nearly winning a Super Bowl in 1999. Retiring from the Dallas Cowboys, where he played one season, following the 2004 season, created great distress for George, who said that he questioned what his life’s purpose would be following foot-ball, something that had driven him for the better part of the previous 15 years. But after talking with people, pouring out his emotions and struggling to fi nd an in-ner peace, it appears that George is content with where he is today. His post-football life has been quite successful. George is currently the owner of an architectural fi rm, EDGE, and owns two restaurants, Eddie George’s Grill 27, lo-cated in Columbus and Nashville. In addi-tion, he works as a football analyst and has spent time acting, too. “What helps me get through every day,” George told the crowd during his speech, “is I commit to winning that day by being spiri-tually connected, listening to my inner self,

trusting my intuition, the same intuition that told me Ohio State was the place for me. What I like to do is get that time every single morning (where I have) prayer, meditation, declaration. That anchors me.” Aside from giving his speech, George, along with former Cleveland Brown greats Ernest Byner, Kevin Mack and Hanford Dixon, entertained guests for the duration of the evening while signing autographs and taking pictures. According to Parker’s Purpose President Todd Drusback, the preliminary fi gures in-dicate that the event will net approximately $45,000, a sign of just how far the organiza-tion has come in its six-year history. Thus far, the charity has donated over $125,000 to families in Northwest Ohio. “This was probably the best (event) we’ve had,” said Drusback. “It seems like the ones in the past, we’re saying, ‘This didn’t go well, that didn’t go well.’ Not to say they weren’t successful, but this was probably the best one we’ve had so far. We had Eddie, the Browns players, the crowd, the families talking, and the VIP tent. Eddie was fantastic, the Browns guys were fantas-tic — I thought everything was great. And we raised a lot of money in the process.”

Ed Mouch, the sixth-year coach of the Toledo Hawks, wears one of his two National Amateur Baseball Federation World Series rings.

The Hawks, for players age 22 and un-der, have won the NABF’s premier event twice since 2009 and took second in 2012.

Mouch said he knows his players are aware of the ring.

“They ask me about it,” Mouch said. “This weekend we were playing in our Tri-State Collegiate League tournament and at the end of tournament I said, ‘this is what you’re playing for next week. Hopefully you understand you have a chance to win a ring in addition to winning a World

Waite’s Clifton-Lorton, Hawks seeking another ringSeries.’”

The Hawks qualifi ed to this year’s 16-team NABF World Series which begins July 31 and ends Aug. 3 with the champion-ship game at Lourdes University’s Mercy Field. Other tournament venues include the University of Toledo’s Scott Park, Rich Arbinger Field at Bowman Park, and Don Kober Field at St. Francis de Sales High School.

The Hawks, who were bounced in the quarterfi nals last year, begin play on Thursday. At least 13 players have been with the team for two years. Through Tuesday, the Hawks were 33-17 overall and 17-17 in the Tri-State Collegiate League.

The Hawks are also 16-0 in the Toledo Division of the Northwest Ohio Baseball League, which has split divisions between Toledo, Tiffi n and Sandusky.

Mouch said he admires this year’s team because “they love playing the game.”

“You can guarantee that if we have a game, 13-14 kids are there every day in addition to the pitcher,” Mouch said. “It’s really a close-knit group and they all get along really well together. We’re really young. They all know each other and get along with each other and have fun playing the game with each other.”

The Hawks have one player from The Press coverage area in catcher Dylan Clifton-Lorton, a Waite product who plays college ball at Ohio State-Lima. In 38 games Clifton-Lorton, in his second season with the Hawks, was batting .239 (21-for-88) with 13 runs, 12 RBI, three doubles and 10 walks.

“We have four catchers on our team, and Dylan is our best defensive catcher,” Mouch said. “We went to Pittsburgh this

summer and played against some Tri-State League teams and there was a college um-pire who came up to me after Dylan worked the plate. He said, ‘That’s as good a defen-sive catcher as I’ve ever seen in my life. He makes it easy to call a game.’

“Dylan’s done a wonderful job. If you were to say who our leader is, I would say he was one of them. He has a lot of ener-gy and he just loves playing the game. He gives us all kinds of energy, tons of energy. His hitting’s gotten better, and he does the little things for us. I just love being around him. He’s a great kid.”

The Hawks’ roster includes players from Whitmer, St. John’s Jesuit, Start, St. Francis, Bowsher, Northview, Perrysburg, Maumee, Anthony Wayne, Otsego, Defi ance, Van Buren, Bowling Green and Napoleon.

An exodus of youth from City of Oregon’s recreation leagues to travel teams prompted offi cials to hold a meeting Tuesday to consider how to stem the fl ow. Recreation Department Director Joe Wasserman said the meeting in council chambers Tuesday night lasted over three hours. Wasserman said it’s not only affect-ing participation numbers, it’s affecting the quality of recreation leagues. “We know with this mass exodus to travel, it’s so watered down the quality isn’t there. We’ve got so many people play-ing travel that don’t belong playing travel,” Wasserman said. Wasserman said about 60 people at-tended the meeting, including Clay base-ball coach Jim Phillips, softball coach Brenda Radabaugh, and Athletic Director Mark Beach. The department held an internal fol-low-up meeting Wednesday night to dis-cuss what came out of the meeting. One plan he said that will be put in place will be to have more clinics in November and December and then review how they went next January, but he says discussion will

continue. “We’ve still got a lot of things to dis-cuss,” Wasserman said. “What we will get out of that is some follow-up meetings. “Right now, we’ve combined base-ball and softball, but in our next meetings we will separate, going with the baseball meeting and then go with the softball meeting, because there are some separate issues.” There will be a meeting to talk specifi -cally about softball issues from 6-7:30 p.m. on Aug. 18 in council chambers, and fol-lowing that from 7:30-9 p.m., a meeting specifi cally for baseball. Meetings are open to the public.

The city’s website states that its sum-mer program allows more than 1,400 youths from pre-kindergarten through high school to participate in tee-ball, coach pitch, baseball, softball and high school co-ed softball. Summer programs also include men’s, co-ed and women’s softball leagues.

College World Series batboys Parents or coaches of youth baseball players who want to be batboys and/or ball chasers at the National Amateur Baseball Federation College World Series in the Toledo area July 31-August 3 may call City of Toledo recreation coordinator Shawn Sobel at 419-936-3887.

This is the 10th year it has been held in Toledo hosted by the Toledo Amateur Baseball Federation.

Woodmore teen graduates as Highway Patrol Junior Cadet

Student Stars

Ross Wolford, a senior at Woodmore High School who is also studying criminal justice at Penta Career Center, completed training for the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Junior Cadet Program, held June 22-26 at the Highway Patrol Training Academy in Columbus. Wolford was one of 30 Junior Cadet participants selected from applications submitted by young men and women who attended Buckeye Boys and Girls State in early June. Cadet program candidates were also chosen based on exemplary perfor-mance throughout the previous school year. Eligible children of Patrol employees were also among the Junior Cadets. The Junior Cadet Program is designed to give young participants better insight into the challenges faced by law enforce-ment offi cers by enabling them to experi-ence a typical week at the Academy. To enhance their learning experience, Junior Cadets were required to spend the entire week at the academy, sleeping in the dormitories and dining in the cafeteria. Throughout the week, they learned about crash investigation, offi cer/violator con-tacts, self-defense tactics, K-9 operations, building searches, motorcycle operations, impaired driver apprehension and military

drill. Assistant Superintendent, Lt. Colonel Kevin D. Teaford, presented graduation certifi cates to the participants at a ceremo-ny, which was attended by the family and friends of the cadets. Wolford is the son of Mike and Beth Wolford, of Woodville.

Penta students graduate Forty-one adults completed full-time programs in 2013-14 through Penta Career Center Adult & Continuing Education. The students were honored June 5 dur-ing a special graduation ceremony which featured guest speaker Dr. Cory Stine, dean of Enrollment Services at Terra State Community College. Local residents who were among the graduates included Andrew M. DeSelms, of Oregon, Auto Body Collision Repair;

Jesse J. Vargas, of Oregon, Automotive Technology and Jordan M. Michalski, of Millbury, Welding/ Fabrication.

Phi Theta Kappa Several Owens Community College students were honored for academic excel-lence, earning membership into the Alpha Omega Pi Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society for the spring semester. The overall mission of Phi Theta Kappa is to recognize academic excellence among two-year college students, provide oppor-tunities for leadership training and foster an intellectual climate for the exchange of ideas and ideals.

Elmore resident Hunter Gregory now has a greater appreciation of things.

That is because last spring, Gregory went on a mission trip to Africa that saw him make new friends in another conti-nent while enduring challenges not seen in Northwest Ohio.

For two weeks, Gregory, along with his aunt, Sharon, and some of her friends, helped to build a residence hall for an or-phanage in Malawi, a country located in southeast Africa.

Gregory, 18, who graduated from Woodmore High School in the spring, said the experience had its share of joy and sor-row.

“It was very different from here,” Gregory said. “It was very ‘Third World’ and there was a lot of poverty and it gave me a different perspective on life.”

During the day, Gregory would haul bricks to the building site as his colleagues worked to construct a fortress. The work, which was arduous, gave him the opportu-nity to bond with the African children.

“We would use broken wheelbarrows to get the bricks, which were a half a mile away, push it through sand,” Gregory said. “We would do that for eight hours per day and they would lay the bricks very fast, so they always needed new ones.

“A lot of kids liked to help and it was like a game for them. It helped to bond with the kids. They loved us. We were kind of like celebrities to them. They would want to play with us and hold our hands. A lot of the kids were very helpful. All they want-ed to do was help us. They are a lot less spoiled.”

According to Gregory, many of the children become orphaned because of the AIDS epidemic in Africa. In fact, the 2012 United Nations AIDS Report states that ap-

African trip gives Woodmore grad greater appreciation

proximately 25 million people who had contracted HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, lived in sub-Saharan Africa.

But there are other reasons the chil-dren have been orphaned.

“A lot of them were dropped off there,” Gregory said. “Their parents might be alive and they’d hear about the place and they’d walk thousands of miles to drop their kids off because they knew (the orphanage) would provide a better life for them. And they know there’s no way to track them

down. Sometimes kids with abusive par-ents are rescued and brought to the orphan-age, too.”

Despite the hardships the people have endured, they are making progress and heading in the right direction.

“They’re at the stage now where they’re trying to get leaders in their communities, which is going pretty well,” Gregory said. “They’re in need of education.”

He also spent time at a local hospital, which he said was a sobering experience.

“It was kind of sad,” Gregory said. “They had a whole different cultural per-spective. The hospital would not feed the kids, the mothers had to. It’s customary for the mother to take care of the child. So we would bring food to the hospital for them. That was very different. I even had to (ad-minister) an IV because they would not take no for an answer (when they asked me to help). It was disheartening to see those kids knowing a lot of them didn’t make it.” There were a couple of things that made every day a challenge. The one that stuck out the most was barely tolerable showers. Another was the availability of food. There was no snacking and the only time he was able to eat was at meal times. Fresh water was also an issue, but fi nding and locating it wasn’t as hard he was told it might have been.

He also coached a children’s soccer team at a tournament. He said the experi-ence he had was amazing.

“I would do this again if I were given the chance,” said Gregory, and he is plan-ning to head back to Africa as soon as he can.

“The kids were great to be with and the people were so friendly to me.” Before and during his trip, Gregory had to take some precautions. He had to have multiple vaccinations before he left. While he was there, he had to make sure his win-dows and doors were locked at night to pre-vent the local wildlife from intruding upon his shelter. He also had to make sure if he was walking at night he was accompanied by someone.

Gregory, who played soccer and track while at Woodmore, will be a freshman at the University of Toledo this fall. He plans to study Human Resources & Finance and hopes to get a job someday that allows him to travel.

is held Tuesday evenings, meeting since June 17 and running through Aug. 12. Club members are required to practice their math facts at least an hour each week. They then check in Tuesday evenings between 6 and 8 p.m. “Upon their check-in, students are given a ‘brag tag’ and are entered in a drawing for prizes, which include Jet Express tickets, Toledo Mud Hens tickets, Toledo Zoo tickets and a movie gift card,” Coy Principal Amy Molnar said. The principal noted this is the fi rst time Coy has offered the Summer Math Club, teachers have been pleased with students’ participation – to date, 83 students have studied their math facts a total of 27,245 minutes.

Michael, today is your 30th

Birthday. There is no cake (no

chocolate pie with loads of whip

cream), no party, just a broken

heart.

It is very tough as the days and

years go by. You stay the same. I

have your sixteen year old picture

and that is how you will always

look. I wonder who you would be

today.

Since the house fire, it feels

like I have lost you again. Your

room is empty, your books, music

everything. So now I have just

memories of your love of music (I

could always find you in the Clay

High School band room), your

passion for bicycling and our

adventures.

I miss your beautiful smile,

your laughter, your teasing and

pranks. They say there is a reason,

that time can heal, but neither time

or reason will change the way I

feel. For no one knows the

heartache that lies behind my

smiles, no one knows how many

times I have broken down and

cried. Being your mom was the

greatest part of my life.

I Love You,

Mom

Open house for Lake fi refi ghter It was just over four years ago the Lake Township trustees were recognizing Dennis “Pinky” Traver for 50 years of ser-vice with the township fi re department. An open house to mark the retirement of the veteran from the department will be held Aug. 5 at the township administration building, Cummings Road. The community is honoring Traver, who’s been with the department for 54 years – the most recent as assistant chief at the Ayers Road station. The open house will be held from 6:30-8 p.m. at the township trustees meet-ing room, following the regular meeting of the trustees. A plaque will be presented to Traver, whose service began as a member of the Millbury Fire Department that was merged with the Walbridge Fire Department in 1991. “We said our goodbyes at our last regu-lar drill night. This will give the public a chance to say goodbye to Pinky too,” said John Castellanos, a captain at the Millbury station.
