Are ash trees mutating to fend off borer?

We hope that we can save the

ash species.

By J. Patrick EakenPress Staff Writernews@presspublications.com

Henry County native Rachel Heffl inger, an Ohio State University Department of Horticulture and Crop Science research technician, loves trees. She loves trees so much that she is on a mission to do her part to try to bring back ash trees to the Northwest Ohio land-scape. Ash trees have almost completely disappeared from the region’s landscape, thanks to the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle from China. Heffl inger made the fi nal presentation of this year’s March Sunday Lecture Series, which is hosted annually by Friends of Pearson at Macomber Lodge. She titled it “Emerald Ash Borer and How the Forest Has Responded” and what she had to say captivated guests because it brings hope that ash trees still have a chance to win their battle with the invasive beetle. Heffl inger was in the fourth grade when the beetle arrived, and guests commented that she spoke from the heart while talking about ongoing research to save the ash. The beetle’s larvae kill the ash by feed-ing off and disrupting the tree’s phloem, which provides nutrients to the tree. The ash tree blight has become the most eco-nomically devastating kill by an invasive species in our nation’s history, to this point. Once a female becomes an adult, it can lay 30,000 eggs. The larvae can kill a tree in fi ve years. The EAB was fi rst discovered arriving at Detroit’s port in 2002. The EAB spread southward to Northwest Ohio, where mon-itoring began in 2005. That year, places like Pearson Park became Ground Zero for the EAB infestation in Ohio. By 2011, almost all the ash trees were gone. In 2010, for example, there were 302 ash trees remaining at Swan Creek Metropark, but before the EAB hit there were about 11,000. Of the 302, only 111 had health canopies. Heffl inger says 95 percent mortal-ity of ash trees was complete two years ago, while further south, in Columbus, the kill continues in full force with about 50 per-cent infestation. The kill has opened the door for other invasive species, too. Metroparks public re-

lations director Scott Carpenter notes that as ash trees disappear, other invasive spe-cies take advantage by moving into open space left in the forest. At Pearson and other Toledo Area Metroparks, Heffl inger says the EAB popu-lation remains in smaller numbers because their primary food source is gone, but many continue to feed off seedlings. In addition, the white fringed tree, which is related to the ash, has become the EAB’s newest host, which Heffl inger calls “upsetting news.” However, the fact that some trees are surviving is good news. For example, a re-searcher walking in the wild found a tree

that had trapped the emerald ash borer by encasing it in resin, killing it immediately. Heffl inger says that is similar to the method used by the more beetle-resistant Chinese ash trees. In addition, while the older, larger ash trees did not survive, many younger, small-er “lingering” trees appear healthy. This leads researchers to believe the species may be mutating its genetic code to fend off the borer. Heffl inger says it will take at least seven more years before researchers can be confi -dent that some trees are becoming resistant to the beetle. The tree must have a circum-

ference of 31.4 centimeters with a healthy canopy rating to be considered a lingering ash.

Jurassic Park Heffl inger is not a genetics expert, but she travels hundreds of miles every week to perform fi eld work identifying and mon-itoring ash trees. She monitors trees in Michigan and Ohio, and this week travels to New York and Pennsylvania to plant various species of trees as part of recovery efforts. Much of the OSU research about ash trees has not been published in scientifi c journals yet, but much of it is based on one premise — that the ash trees can fi nd a way on their own to fend off the beetle by mutat-ing genetically, or maybe we can crossbreed to help them. Either way, Heffl inger says it would take decades before the ash trees are able to become completely resistant to the beetle, Metroparks Natural Resources Department staff examine ash trees damaged by

Oregon this year will be installing another railroad crossing notifi cation system, and Northwood is eyeing a proposal for its fi rst train warning lights. Oregon will install the fl ashing blue lights at an Otter Creek Road intersection that will inform motorists of when lights and gates are activated at the existing at-grade railroad crossing on Otter Creek Road, just south of York Street.

Oregon, Northwood

More train notifi cation lights coming this year Council at a recent meeting approved an agreement with Norfolk Southern Railway Company for the installation and maintenance of the Otter Creek advanced railroad crossing notifi cation system. Last August, Norfolk Southern Railway Company provided preliminary engineering services for the required interconnection with the existing railroad grade crossing warning device circuitry for $10,000. Oregon council recently approved a $20,406 payment to Norfolk Southern Railway Company to construct the system. Plans call for blue warning lights to be

installed on Otter Creek Road and Corduroy Road that will notify motorists that lights and gates are activated at the existing train tracks on Otter Creek Road. The system will provide Corduroy Road traffi c the opportunity to select an alternate route before reaching the frequently blocked railroad crossing. Installation of the system, which requires an interconnection with the existing railroad grade crossing warning device circuitry, will be similar to the blue light system that was installed at the intersections of Pickle Road/Wheeling

Street and Pickle Road/Woodville Road in 2002 that notifi es motorists of the blocked CSX crossing on Pickle Road. The estimated cost of the project is $50,000. The work will involve an interconnection between the railroad gates and a cable junction box, according to Public Service Director Paul Roman. “The city then would install radio equipment to receive that signal when the gates are down,” he said.

Train lights

Roman said he spoke to fi re Chief Paul Mullen about the possibility of having two locations for lights and signage on Otter Creek Road. “Obviously, at York and Otter Creek, you can see the railroad. And at Millard, he thought it would not be needed,” said Roman. The improvement is expected to benefi t the public on the north side by ensuring that safety vehicles that might have to use Otter Creek Road will be apprised in advance when there is a train blocking the railroad tracks. Members of Oregon Fire Station No. 3, 4421 Bayshore Road, who live on the other side of the railroad tracks, may improve response times to calls because the notifi cation lights will indicate when the route is blocked.

Northwood Oregon won’t be the only community in the area to warn motorists of train blockages. The city of Northwood is also looking into the installation of a railroad crossing notifi cation system at an estimated cost of $58,000, according to Northwood Councilwoman Connie Hughes. A cheaper option would be to use solar powered lights at a cost of just $10,000. “They wouldn’t go on automatically when the gates go down like blue lights do,” she said. It would be the fi rst installation of warning lights in the city. City Administrator Bob Anderson said last week that tracks just beyond the two new railroad overpasses on Wales Road are occasionally blocked by trains. “We pretty much want lights warning the public that Wales Road near Waste Management is blocked, and they should go another way,” he said. Possible locations of the lights are at Wales and Woodville roads, and Wales and Drouillard roads, said Anderson. “We don’t want our police headed down that way, we don’t want the fi re department or ambulance headed down that way. We’ve only got that one little area we’re concerned about. We don’t want to spend a lot of money on it. But we still have to work out where the best place would be.”

and any deliberate mutations could violate federal wildlife regulations. Even guests at her presentation asked about the possibility of deliberate mutations causing more prob-lems than it would fi x, citing the plots of the Jurassic Park blockbuster fi lm franchise. Researchers are in the process of build-ing a genetic bank, so every time a surviv-ing ash tree fl owers, they collect its seeds. Heffl inger says even stressed ash trees have a bountiful seed harvest just before they die. Heffl inger says she believes researchers are close to fi guring out genetically how to make a more resistant ash. “If a tree’s offspring is promising, we will crossbreed with another resistant tree and use backcross methods with Chinese ash,” Heffl inger said. “We hope that we can save the ash species.” While the beetle has pretty much had its way with white, blue, and green ash, Heffl inger found four surviving black ash trees at Pearson. Heffl inger says black ash is more closely related to the EAB-tolerant Chinese ash, so it may be a candidate for cross breeding. She said black ash was already in de-cline before the EAB arrived because it was losing habitat. It is a swampy wetland tree and not as economically viable as other ash trees, but Native Americans revered the black ash and used it in their basket weav-ing. To help with research, Heffl inger asks anyone who spots a lingering ash to report it to www.nrs.fs.fed.us/survivorash.

Health care providers and their supporters picketed in front of Mercy St. Charles Hospital, Oregon, in protest of what they call the corporate greed of Cincinnati-based parent company Mercy Health. The informational picket is one of 24 protests Mercy Health workers have planned across the state of Ohio. “Mercy Health is doing very well fi nancially but still is demand-ing workers do more with less. At the same time, Mercy’s CEO – Michael Connelly – is taking over $2 million in compensation and other top executives are making millions as well,” said Al Bacon, Secretary Treasurer of the Service Employees Interna-tional Union (SEIU) District 1199, the union which represents

Mercy Health workers. Sarah Bednarski, APR Public Relations & Internal Communications for Mercy said "Our colleagues at Community Mercy Health Partners in the Springfi eld, Ohio area have been negotiating in good faith with Service Employ-ees International Union (SEIU) since December. The goal is to reach consensus on a collective bargaining agreement. SEIU has chosen to conduct an informational picket outside our lo-cation today. We recognize the union's right to picket there lawfully and will continue to negotiate in good faith towards an agreement. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean)

Oregon has applied for a Water Pollution Control Loan through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to help fund the construction of Phase 3 of the Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation project. The $3.1 million project will also be funded by an Ohio Public Works Commission grant and the city sewer im-provement fund. The project is a continuation of the required sanitary sewer rehabilitation for the city’s wastewater treatment plant’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Phases 1 and 2 of the sanitary sewer re-habilitation project have already been com-pleted. Construction on Phase 3 is expected to start in July. Phase 3 includes the rehabilitation of mainline and lateral sanitary sewers in the Euclid Park, Old Eastmoreland, and Valley Park areas by trenchless cured in place pipe methods (sewer lining), according to Public Service Director Paul Roman. Manhole re-habilitation includes the lining of an esti-mated 56 manholes. “This is an area just north of Navarre and west of Wheeling Street. It is one of the worst areas of [storm water] infl ow and infi ltration in the sanitary sewers,” said Roman at a recent council meeting. “Lining the sanitary sewers keeps that storm water out.” Mayor Mike Seferian said the project is the result of smoke testing of the sewers over the years. Smoke testing detects storm water

infl ow and infi ltration (I&I) sources such as roof downspouts, driveway and yard drains, foundation drains, and storm water drainage system cross connections, accord-ing to Roman. It can also detect structural deterioration and leaking joints in sewer pipes. Smoke testing is one of the most effi -cient and cost effective methods of locating sources of I&I within sewer areas. Phase 1 in 2009 consisted of a $740,000 sanitary sewer and manhole lining proj-ect that covered nearly 9,000 linear feet of sewer pipe and 51 sanitary sewer man-holes. Infi ltration target areas, such as sew-ers running underneath creeks, were part of the project. The normal dry weather fl ow seen at the wastewater treatment plant was reduced by about 500,000 gallons per day following the project, based on the elimi-nation of groundwater infi ltration into sewer pipes at creek crossings, according to Roman. Phase 2 consisted of replacing exist-ing sanitary sewer lines located within the right of way at Cresceus Road, Mambrino Road, and Grasser Street between Pickle Road and Dearborn Avenue. The project

also included sanitary sewer lining on Wheeling Street, between Navarre Avenue and Bleeker Street, and Pickle Road be-tween Grasser Street and Wheeling Street. “In Phase 3, there will not be a lot of open cut work. It’ll be a lot of lining. Even the laterals that go to the individual homes will be lined as part of this project,” said Roman. The sewer liners have a 30 year life expectancy, he added. Sewer lining on Navarre Avenue installed in the late 80s and early 90s are still in “great shape.” Councilman James Seaman asked Roman about the difference in cost be-tween relined sewers versus new sewers. “It is typically a little less in cost, but there’s a lot less disruption. You’re not open cutting the road. It is the least expen-sive comparing the two,” said Roman. The net loan amount from the Ohio EPA will be $2.7 million, he said. “We do use income tax for capital improvements. That will be used to pay back the loan,” said Roman. The city advertised for bids on the project at the end of March and is expected to receive the bids in April, said Roman. Once the bids are reviewed, they are submitted to the Ohio EPA for its approval for the loan, he said. “We are scheduled to start work some-time at the end of June. It will be a one year project, which will take us through to this time next year,” said Roman. As authorized by the Clean Water Act, the NPDES Permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into bodies of water, such as Lake Erie. Municipal facilities are required to obtain permits if their discharg-es go into surface waters.

““It is typically a little less in cost, but there’s a lot less disruption.

State Rep.Teresa Fedor (D) will speak on Human Traffi cking Thursday, April 16, 12:30 p.m. at the East Toledo Senior Center.

Rep. Fedor’s appear-ance is sponsored by the East Toledo Club. The public is invited. According to a spokesperson from her offi ce, Governor John Kasich in 2009

signed Rep. Fedor’s human traffi cking leg-islation into law, which created a penalty enhancement for human traffi cking and created a task force to study the problem in Ohio. In 2012, the Governor signed into law Rep. Fedor’s most comprehensive human traffi cking legislation to date, Safe Harbor Act (H.B. 262). Most recently, the Governor signed into law Rep. Fedor’s H.B. 130 End Demand Act, a bill that tackles the market-driven demand for purchasing commercial sex by increasing penalties for purchasing sex from a minor among others. Representative Fedor has also intro-duced legislation that will: curtail the growing problem of cyberbullying of school children and require background checks for volunteer coaches. Rep. Fedor has represented the 45th and 47th Districts since 2010. She was elected to the Ohio Senate in 2002 and served as a member until 2010, prior to that, the citizens of Toledo elected her to serve the 52nd district of the Ohio House of Representatives in 2000. Prior to public service, she served in the United States Air Force and Ohio Air National Guard. She also spent 18 years teaching. A lunch will precede Rep. Fedor’s pre-sentation. Cost is $6. RSVP for the lunch only to Jodi at 419-691-1429, ext 213.

A recent spill of diesel fuel in Lake Township from a pipeline has been contained, according to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. Dina Pierce, a spokesperson for the OEPA, said the leak started at a faulty valve on the pipeline along Luckey Road. The leak was reported March 16 to the agency and the line, owned by Buckeye Pipeline, was repaired and the contaminat-ed soil was removed. About 20 gallons of fuel were spilled, Pierce said. “Ohio EPA is satisfi ed that the cleanup was done properly and the leak has been repaired,” she said. “The ground water sampling by the company indicates no con-tamination reached the ground water.” The company conducted sampling of some residential drinking water wells near the leak area and all came back with “non-detect” readings for petroleum contami-nants. “We were told at least one resident preferred to have his well sampled by an independent party. We put him in contact with the Wood County Health Department for follow up,” Pierce said, adding county health departments have jurisdiction over private water wells and can do the sam-pling or refer homeowners to a licensed laboratory.

Kirk Lathrop, of Luckey Road, said Wednesday he’s still concerned groundwa-ter may have been contaminated. “They drew water from residents’ taps. All the wells in this neighborhood are at least 100 feet deep, but the possible con-taminants could be at the top of the well,” he said. “I feel there is no way they’re going to pick up that diesel fuel with 100 feet of water separation. The proper way to test a well is to pop the cap off out in the yard and dip a sample out of the top of the well. If there is oil fl oating, it is going to be at the top of the well, not the bottom. I don’t feel things are being handled properly. We just want what we had before the leak.” On Thursday, Brad Espen, director of environmental health for the health depart-ment, said his offi ce was scheduled to con-duct sampling of several wells in the area. He said Buckeye Pipeline has told him it will also retain a fi rm, GES, to conduct more sampling. Espen said he agreed with the EPA as-sessment of the clean up being completed properly. Pierce said the company put contain-ment equipment in a nearby ditch, includ-ing absorbent booms to block downstream migration of the fuel and other materials to absorb some of the fuel. “This was kept in place until the leak was fi xed and vacuum trucks arrived to pump the liquids out of the ditch. An ex-cavator then removed contaminated soil,” she said.

Genoa Schools

Drop in local taxes, state aid has hurt districtBy Larry LimpfNews Editornews@presspublications.com

The fi nancial condition of Genoa Area Local Schools can pretty much be calcu-lated in two or three lines of the district’s fi ve-year forecast, says Bill Nye, who, in his role as district treasurer has been advising a committee of volunteers promoting two levies on the May 5 ballot. With the district receiving about half of its funding from the state and about a third from local real estate taxes, any ma-jor swings in those two sources will have a profound impact on the district’s bottom line. “Eight-fi ve percent of our revenues are in those two lines,” Nye says, pointing to a line of real estate taxes collected and an-other showing funding from the state. “The real estate line has been stagnant and the state funding has been decreasing. The bot-tom line is this isn’t the result of poor plan-ning or action by the current school board or previous boards. It has a lot to do with how the state is funding public education. That’s it in a nutshell, how they’ve decided to go about it.” In fi scal 2014, which ended June 30, 2014, the district collected just under $3.8 million in local real estate taxes. While that is higher than the previous years, it took the district six years to get back to the $3.72

million level it collected in 2008. Another item that has particularly hurt the district’s bottom line, says Nye, has been the phasing out of the tangible personal property tax levied on business inventory and equipment. In 2005, before the phase-out began, the district collected about $540,346 in tangible taxes. By 2012 the phase-out was complete and the district collected nothing. Worse, reimbursements from the state to offset the losses have been dropping – from $607,369 in 2011 to about $184,496 this year. In 2005, the district received about $6.2 million in state funding. By 2014 the funding had drifted down to $5.4 million. With routine costs rising, such as em-ployee health insurance, utilities and oth-ers, the district reduced expenditures each year from 2009 through 2013. Last year, it twice went to voters with ballot issues and was twice rejected. Next month, voters will decide a 5-mill, 5-year renewal levy that generates about $400,000 annually and an emergency levy that would generate about $1.025 million annu-ally. It too would be in effect for fi ve years and is equal to approximately 6.38 mills. For the owner of a $100,000 home it would cost about $223 a year in additional taxes. In the next state biennium budget pro-posal, the district may realize an increase in funding but Nye doesn’t consider it a budgetary bonanza.

Wood Cty. Humane Society seeking board of directors

“For us it would be the fi rst time in three biennial budgets we are set to get ad-ditional state funding,” he said. And he’s wary of a fi scal sleight of hand by the state. If basic state aid increases, he’s watching for a deeper cut to tangible property tax reimbursements. He also points to cuts in state funding for purchasing school buses and special education programs as two ex-amples of where the state has pulled back. The school board has prepared a ten-tative list of spending cuts totaling about $945,000 if additional revenues aren’t ap-proved in May. In addition, student fees and fees for participating in athletics and extra-curricular activities would be doubled to $200. The increases would bring in about $140,000 if the number of participating stu-dents remains near current levels. The district administration last year re-ceived a defi cit notifi cation from the Ohio Department of Education. Nye said the no-tice is a standard alert the state issues when a district’s projected negative fund balance exceeds 2 percent of revenues.

Forum set

The levy committee has scheduled a second public forum for May 3 at 4:30 p.m. in the elementary school cafeteria. A forum was also held Wednesday at the high school.

The Wood County Humane Society (WCHS) is seeking applications for its board of directors. The WCHS Board is a voluntary work-ing board of local leaders dedicated to pro-viding direction and guidance to the non-profi t organization. The board is comprised of 11 to 15 members in good standing with the WCHS. Board members are elected an-nually for a term of two years. New mem-bers will be elected at the next annual meet-ing in January, however, board applications are welcome year-round.

Prospective board members are en-couraged to shadow current members prior to their election as a way to familiarize themselves with the kinds of work they would be expected to perform once elected. Board responsibilities are four-fold. The unit sets overall policies and goals for the WCHS and ensures that established policies are followed by all volunteers and staff of the WCHS. The unit also secures and monitors fi nancial resources and fund-ing, establishes accountability for its volun-teers and staff, and provides for the regular

communication with the Shelter Manager and the community at large. The WCHS Board of Directors meets once monthly for two hours. Individual board members also are expected to serve as chair or co-chair one of the Board’s nine permanent committees. Individuals who are interested in ap-plying to the WCHS Board of Directors should contact Heath A. Diehl, board secre-tary, at williad@bgsu.edu for more informa-tion and an application.

Family Coach offers more personal funeral experience

Director asks: Can Woodmore auditorium be saved?By Larry LimpfNews Editornews@presspublications.com

It was some time after the applause ended and Woodmore students, staff and community members had taken their fi -nal bows for a successful production of the musical “Guys and Dolls” that Marcia Busdeker, the director, had an idea. The musical was presented in the au-ditorium of the elementary building that is scheduled for demolition now that a new elementary school has been constructed and students have been transferred to the new facility. Although the new building has a multi-purpose room, it lacks the space and other features of a traditional audito-rium with a full stage, prompting Busdeker to wonder if somehow the auditorium in the old building could be saved. “I was so involved with the musical I really didn’t give much thought to what we would be doing next year because I really wanted to focus on this year instead and make it a really good experience for the kids and adults who were involved,” she said. “I had heard there was a possibility of saving the K -1 section of the old school for storage. Almost 24 hours exactly after the curtain closed on our fi nal performance, I had an odd thought, what if we’re tearing down the wrong part of the building? “I thought, if we need extra space for

storage, why can’t we use the part of the building that houses the auditorium? We could have a double use for it.” Busdeker said she’s asked for time to address the school board during its special meeting April 7. Board members scheduled the meeting to discuss a demolition plan for the elementary building in Woodville and what is called the Hetrick wing that houses classrooms for junior high school students in Elmore. The board will meet at 6:30 p.m. at the high school to discuss the plan. Last year, Woodmore voters soundly rejected a levy request that would have generated about $4.5 million for a new auditorium where the Hetrick wing now sits. Busdeker last week said she doesn’t an-ticipate the district approving tax dollars for

a performing arts facility in the near future. She said she’s briefl y discussed her idea for saving the auditorium with a mem-ber of CAGE (Communities Achieving Goals for Extracurricular), which has had success raising funds and utilizing volun-teers for renovating the high school track facilities and a new entrance to the football fi eld. The group was also supportive of the proposed auditorium. “It is my goal to have a presentation for the school board to get the building up to code,” Busdeker said. “I would like to re-search all avenues for using private money. I’m just asking for time.” The new elementary building was con-structed with the help of state funding. Richard Savors, a spokesman for the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission,

said a delay in demolition could increase costs for the district. “While the OFCC does not have a specifi c deadline for a demolition, we in-corporate the demolition work into the overall project schedule and as part of the contracts for the architect and construction manager,” he said.” The ultimate decision on what to do with a building, in this case whether to demolish it or not, is the pre-rogative of the local board of education, which owns the building. It is possible to delay the demolition of a building, but be-cause it is part of the project schedule there is the possibility that a delay might incur additional costs, which could place a fi scal burden on the district, as most of the costs would probably be assessed to the district instead of to the co-funded project budget.”

By Tammy WalroFeatures Editortwalro@presspublications.com

Eggleston, Meinert and Pavley Funeral Home is offering a new transportation op-tion designed to help families have a more personal experience during the last and most diffi cult part of the goodbye process. The funeral home, with locations at 440 S. Coy Rd., Oregon and 1111 Woodville Rd., Millbury, recently introduced the Family Coach, which allows families to ride together with their loved one on the journey to the cemetery or fi nal resting place. The luxury coach – the fi rst of its kind in the country – features leather seats to comfortably accommodate up to 12 people, hardwood fl oors, a mini refrigerator, a DVD player and fl at screen TV and seating for the pastor and the driver up front. A sepa-rate compartment in the rear of the vehicle accommodates a casket. The Family Coach was inspired by Bud Graham, owner of Transportation Equipment Sales Corp. (TESCO) of Oregon, according to Dennis Pavley, owner/director of the funeral home. “When my mother passed away in 2003, Bud provided a shuttle van for my immediate family to use during our funeral procession to the cemetery,” Pavley said. “I’ve got a pretty large family and they are scattered from all over – it was great to be able to be together during the entire funeral process. “From that point forward, I thought it would be great if we had a vehicle like that to offer our families,” he said. Pavley and Graham had many conver-sations over the years about designing a custom funeral coach that could combine the function of a traditional hearse and lim-ousine. “TESCO’s extensive expertise in custom vehicle design and fabrication and services in the bus industry, in addition to the com-pany’s hometown connection made it the perfect partner for the venture, Pavley said.

About two years ago, Graham ap-proached Pavley, saying he had found a manufacturer in Michigan willing to take on the project, if Pavley was still interested. The two men spent several months working through designs and prototypes. Last year, production was completed on the Family Coach – the fi rst vehicle of its kind in the country. TESCO Industries has a pat-ent pending on the vehicle, which costs in the same ballpark to build as a traditional hearse – which is in the $90,000-100,000 range. The funeral home began offering the Family Coach as an option to area families in October, Pavley said. “We wanted to get a true sense of what people thought about

it, so we sent out surveys and asked for feedback and were very pleased with what we were hearing.” A Toledo family was among the fi rst to use the Family Coach during a loved one’s funeral. A family member, wrote to Pavley saying, “The ride from the funeral home to the cemetery became an entire family expe-rience, and it was so much easier to be sur-rounded by your family at such a diffi cult time.” As more and more families opt to uti-lize the Family Coach, Pavley and Graham are confi dent that the concept will quickly become a nationwide trend. “In addition to offering families a more personal funeral experience, the Family

Coach offers other advantages,” Pavley said. “Another major factor is the safety – any time you can eliminate any cars in the funeral procession, it makes it that much safer in the travels to the cemetery,” he said. Another benefi t – the use of the vehicle is being offered at a lower cost than opting for a traditional hearse and limousine as the funeral home introduces the Family Coach to the community. On the partnership between Eggleston, Meinert and Pavley and TESCO, Lindsay Myers, executive director of the Oregon Economic Development Foundation, said, “This kind of community partnership makes me proud of our Oregon business community.”

Mail service change Due to a damaged roof, operations at the Williston Post Offi ce have been temporarily suspended and residents are being advised to pick up their mail at the Curtice Post Offi ce, 7160 N. Lake St. Karen Mazurkiewicz, a spokes-person for the Postal Service, said she anticipates the repairs will be made in the next 30 days, weather permitting.

At a crossroad To the editor: When I left the business world to return to school and go into edu-cation the number-one question asked of me was why? I would say things like, I like work-ing with kids; or I really enjoy seeing their faces when they have learned something new, or that I hope I can make a difference in their lives. Even though those things are true, there has been so much more to this experience than I could have ever dreamed. Some days I am amazed I get paid to have so much fun; other days, I’m amazed I get paid so little. However, no matter what kind of day we have had, I have never regretted mak-ing the decision I did. I feel very fortunate that life brought me to the Genoa School District. As I look back at my career, I could not have asked for anything better. The dis-trict is a great system with many quality people trying to provide the best possible educational experience for your children. What truly makes this system special are you and your children. Your willingness to work with your child and show them the value of an education is invaluable. Throughout my career here, I have seen cut after cut made to the education of your children. Everyone in the system has made sacrifi ces to avoid having an impact on the education of your child. However, we are trying to teach with textbooks that are 20-plus years old and no longer even in print. Class sizes have increased, reducing the individual time your child would re-ceive. Where other districts have been able to provide one-on-one technology to their students, we are struggling to share the lim-ited resources we have. I could go on and on with the education needs that have suf-fered over the past years. So whose fault is it? All of the employ-ees have made concession after concession to help limit the impact on your children. The board has made cuts in the millions of dollars trying to avoid coming to you asking for more money. The state has put us, and most other districts, in a situation where we no longer have a choice. It has cut funding while raising the requirements. The goal seems to be to shift all funding to the local level. That is fi ne for districts that

are loaded with businesses or utility com-panies. We are not so fortunate. Our dis-trict’s primary source of income is you. We are now at a crossroad. We have made all the cuts we can. There is noth-ing “extra” to take away. Genoa is ranked number 600 out of 608 districts in Ohio for student spending. That means all but 8 schools spend more to educate their chil-dren than we do. With regret, we come to you asking you to vote yes on issues one and two. A yes vote will continue the ser-vices you have now – art, physical educa-tion, technology, music, busing, extended school day, sports, limited fees, and so on. A no vote will drastically affect the educa-tion of the children of the Genoa commu-nity. The choice is now yours in what type of education you want to provide to your children. John S. GruberGenoa Area Education Association President

Erroneous arguments? To the editor: This is in response to let-ters in the March 20 issue. Three writers called George Bush an idiot, dimwit, and sarcastically the great “Dubya.” Strong arguments. One person stated that Bush got us into two wars that nobody wanted. Two wars? Nobody wanted Bin Laden. Remember that Obama campaigned that Afghanistan was the ‘good’ war. One person wants to credit all war debt to Bush. For all the criticism of Bush not paying for the wars he “wanted,” I’m not sure how Obama doesn’t get the debt for the war he supported. Three people are mad at rich people. Income tax data from 2011 shows the top 1 percent earned 19 percent of the wealth and paid 35 percent of the tax burden. The top 10 percent paid 68 percent. Some of the rich even buy things – lots of things – manufactured by poor, working, and mid-dle class union working families and then everyone gets mad because they have a lot

of stuff. One person references a November poll suggesting Israelis support Obama’s Iran position. Not the case. They support a deal that prevents Iran from weaponizing its nuclear program and the poll sponsor, which holds strong anti-Netanyahu view-points, calls that an Obama endorsement. Yet Netanyahu remains decisively in pow-er. One person writes Republicans want war with Iran. Who? The Iran letter doesn’t say it. Maybe they want a president who listens to our ally Netanyahu and not countries that want Israel annihilated. One writer calls Republicans racists and Mitch McConnell prejudiced. The writer must have McConnell confused with Harry Reid who referred to Obama as a “light-skinned” African-American “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.” Three people endorsed Obamacare, two citing the millions that have coverage that never had it before. No. Millions were forced to buy health insurance under pen-alty of law and millions were forced out of their existing plans despite Obama’s prom-ises. The National Bureau of Economic Research indicates premiums are 24 per-cent higher than they would have been without Obamacare. But don’t worry – now that you’re paying 24 percent more, your premium increases are slowing. Where’s our promised $2,500 premium reductions?Adam SwartzWalbridge

Care appreciated To the editor: There are many organi-zations, societies and various kinds of help in our society today. Sometimes it is hard to receive the help you need because you have to jump through so many hoops, and still end up with nothing. Since October, we have found that hospice is a caring, helpful, and loving program. They meet with you, and decide what help you need and grant it, which tru-

ly helped Tom through his last months. Our frustration and stress was taken care of, and Tom was able to be at home until he gradu-ated from this earth. If you know Hospice workers, thank them, for they truly are special people.Betty Marlow MillerElmore

A lot to lose To the editor: The Constitution is meaningless to President Obama. He tries to override it every day. Thank God for the good Democrats and Republicans that keep him in check. If they lose, we all lose. We have lost enough free-dom of speech now. If Obama has his way, we will lose a lot more than just freedom of speech. Good Democrats and Republicans, keep up the good work. A WWII veteran thanks you.George BiechelerOak Harbor

Election policy The Press encourages responses to ar-ticles and opinions. In order to provide for fair comment, The Press will have the fol-lowing policy covering election letters to the editor: The last issue for letters regarding the May 5 primary election will be the second issue (April 27) before the election. No let-ters will be published in the issue immedi-ately prior (May 4) to the election except for letters limited to direct rebuttal of elec-tion-related matters appearing in the April 27 paper. No new political information can be introduced in the issue immediately before the election. This is to prevent inaccuracies without a fair chance for correction. Letters are limited to ballot issues. The Press does not print letters about candi-dates’ races. Letters should be no more than 300 words and include a phone number and ad-dress for verifi cation purposes. No anony-mous letters will be printed. The deadline is Wednesday, Noon. Send to The Editor, c/o The Press, Box 169, Millbury, OH 43447 or e-mail to news@presspublications.com.

Standardized testing mandates are hurting children in our communities and across our state. In the last several years, lawmakers in the state of Ohio have insisted on a dra-matic increase in high-stakes standardized testing. This year, with the introduction of the PARCC standardized tests, students will be required to devote an unprecedent-ed amount of time to state-mandated test-ing sessions. The average fourth grader will take 8 PARCC (Language Arts and Math) sessions and 2 AIR (Science and/or Social Studies) sessions, totaling 12.5 hours of testing over 10 school days. A sixth grader will take 9 PARCC sessions and 2 AIR ses-sions, totaling more than 13 hours of test-ing over 11 school days. While the total days given to actual testing seems bad enough, this does not include time that must be spent on test

preparation. With teacher evaluations and district ratings based on standardized test scores, schools have no choice but to tailor lessons to match the state’s one-size-fi ts-all tests. Teachers in all grades and subjects fi nd themselves having to set aside re-search-based, best-practice lessons in order to push lessons geared towards test prepa-ration. Real, meaningful, memorable learn-ing is rarely a result of practicing computer tasks such as learning how to drag and drop one response into an appropriate box.

The educators in our districts share a common goal: we want what’s best for our students. We seek, day in and day out, to provide students with an education that will be the springboard for a successful fu-ture. Together we seek to create thoughtful, creative, determined minds that will lead our communities, our state, and our nation into a better future. We may be small dis-tricts, but the hopes we have for our stu-dents are anything but small. The current push for standardized test-ing in our schools is a roadblock in the path towards real education. The lawmakers re-quiring more testing year after year are si-multaneously giving less thought to what practices will best serve our students. Childhood is precious. The window in which we can instill a love and apprecia-tion for learning is short. Every second we spend on standardized testing and standard-

ized test preparation is a second spent work-ing against the best interests of our children. Parents, if you believe as we do that your child deserves better than a school experience centered around standardized testing, please contact your state lawmak-ers today. Senator Randy Gardner has pub-licly stated his interest in ending Ohio’s over reliance on standardized testing; we urge you to support him as he takes a stand for our state’s students. With your help, we can work towards a better education and a brighter future for NW Ohio’s children.Eastwood Education Association Genoa Area Education AssociationLake Education AssociationOregon City Federation of Teachers #1080Oak Harbor Education AssociationPort Clinton Federation of TeachersWoodmore Education Association

Read about the heroes living in the homes next to you.In these 50 short stories, Press columnist John Szozda tells the stories of common people who have met uncommon chal-lenges with vision, courage, passion and determination. These men and women include the Genoa grandmother who helped

solve her daughter’s murder, the Polish-American boy who survived gruesome medical experiments during WWII and the woman, once a victim of fear, who fought back against crime and founded CrimeStoppers.

Rev. Robert Ball was standing in the customs line going from Israel to Egypt when he had an epiphany. The sign above his head stated “foreigners.” It was then he realized he was a minority about to en-ter a land in which he would be different. Suddenly, his comfort level was “clouded”. He was a “bit more fearful.” These are normal human reactions. If you are in the white majority, however, you may never have been in a similar situation where glances from those different than you trigger the irrational belief that they signal nefarious motives. If everyone experienced being a mi-nority we would be more tolerant of each other. If we talked to each other we would fi nd we are more same than different. Rev. Ball believes civil conversation can start that process to build a more tol-erant society. He last week wrapped up a series of such conversations called Circles of Grace. The series featured four speakers representing some of our most misunder-stood minorities: Muslims, Afro-Americans and Hispanics. The speakers were: Dr. Sayed Amjad Hussain, a Pakistan native, author and past president of the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo who led a discussion on “Islam and Terrorism”; Rev. Lawrence Keeler, a retired United Methodist minister and former newspaper reporter, who led a discussion on “Racism and Prejudice”; Lucy Mendoza, a Peru native who works in the fi nance in-dustry and is involved in community or-ganizing projects, who led a discussion on “The Hispanic Experience in America’ and

Rev. Larry Whatley, pastor of Turning Point United Methodist Church in Bowling Green and a former television news anchor, who led a discussion on “The Black Experience in America”. I attended the fi rst three talks at Rossford United Methodist Church where Rev. Ball is the minister and I am a member. There was much to contemplate from all three speakers. Dr. Hussain’s talk was interrupted by two men who believe in

the evil intent of Islam as a religion. One of them said he was afraid millions of radi-cal Islamists want to come to America to behead us infi dels. He insulted Dr. Hussain by saying he was not a true Muslim because of his tempered beliefs. Dr. Hussain said we need to understand the motivation of various radical Islamic groups and individuals. What drives ISIS is not the same motivation that drove the men who massacred 132 children in his hometown of Peshawar, Pakistan, and it is not the same motivation for the men who killed 12 at Charlie Hebdo, the Paris satiri-cal magazine. The motivations are also different in Iraq and Syria. But all this violence is precipitated by Muslims, so it gets fi xed as “Islamic Terrorism” in the American conscience, Dr. Hussain said. Sometimes the violence has little to do with Islam and more to do with living conditions, power or self-determination. More than 60,000 Muslims in Pakistan have been killed by other Muslims, he said. Rev. Keeler talked about how America has made great progress in reducing preju-dice in individuals, however, much needs to be done to eliminate racism in our insti-tutions. “The system is broken and the system needs to be redeemed,” he said. He cited statistics that show that prior to 1964, when President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, our prisons were fi lled with an overwhelming majority of whites. However, 20 years later, the over-whelming majority are blacks.

Why is that, he asked? Is it because blacks all of sudden be-came more criminal? Or, is there something else at play? Rev. Keeler contends that racism has morphed from certain discriminatory prac-tices, such as the Jim Crow laws, to our in-stitutions. Explain why, he asked, that fi ve times as many whites use drugs compared to blacks, but black drug users are sent to prison at 10 times the rate of whites. Lucy Mendoza came to the United States at age eight. She started taking col-lege courses at age 14 and has been here le-gally. However, she recalls one time being offered a ride home from church, but the man offering the ride wanted to see her visa before giving her the ride. She also said it could cost as much as $2,000 to become a citizen, considering obtaining visas, submitting the citizenship application and attorney fees. The fee alone deters poorer immigrants. Mendoza likes to think of America as not a melting pot where we all absorb the cultures and beliefs of each other, but rather as a salad in which we all stand dif-ferent and proud of our heritage. Working together we create a healthy dish attractive for its varied ingredients. Mendoza said she would hope that if we cannot be “like minded we can be like hearted.” That is also the hope for Rev. Ball: tol-erance, graceful conversations about our differences. Comment at zoz@presspublications.

Take a musical journey across the span of Russian culture with Russian Duo, set to perform Saturday, April 11 at the Pemberville Opera House. The per-formance, which will begin at 7:30 p.m., is part of the ongoing Live! In the House concert series presented by the Pemberville Freedom Historical Society. The duo was born out a shared love of traditional music and classical elegance by Oleg Kruglyakov, a virtuoso on the balalai-ka (a Russian stringed musical instrument) and Terry Boyarsky, masterful pianist with a Russian heritage. Together they of-fer an extensive repertoire that draws from Russian folk music, romances, dances, clas-sical music, gypsy melodies, bluegrass, rag-time, tango, fi lm score and Russian songs. Throughout their performances, the duo maintains a generous rapport with audiences of all kinds. Listeners can ex-pect exuberant, compelling interpretations which make them want to dance and sing along. Kruglyakov was born in Omsk City, Siberia, Russia, where many of his early experiences growing up centered around singing together with family members. He began playing the balalaika at age 7, and later was educated at the renowned Ekaterinburg Conservatory, studying con-

Russian Duo promises a celebration of cross-cultural creativity

ducting as well as teaching balalaika. He has a keen ear for musical styles and a deep respect for cultural tradition, fed by a fascination with the history of the

Russian people and the etymology of the Russian language. In addition to her talents on the piano, Boyarsky is a movement specialist, singer

and ethnomusicologist who believes that every person is musical. Her search for mu-sical collaboration has led her into chamber music, choral singing, folk dance, coaching, accompanying dance and creating ceremo-ny. She has collaborated with singers and dancers across the United States, Canada, France, Switzerland, and Venezuela. Since the inception of Russian Duo, in 2007, the pair have performed from Canada to Florida, and from Massachusetts to Minnesota. A review in The Vermont Journal writes, “The audience was enthralled as the music slid from exuberance of joy and anger to whispers of love and crying so faint you could have heard a pin drop.” Their CD, “Russian Duo, released in 2009, includes 13 tracks offering a vi-brant, cross-cultural experience, including “Balalaika Waltz” and “Russian Rag.” Hear samples and learn more about the duo at www.russianduo.com. Tickets for the concert are $10 and are available at Beeker’s General Store, 226 E. Front St., Pemberville; at the door or by contacting Carol at 419-287-4848, carol@pembervilleoperahouse.org, or www.pem-bervilleoperahouse.org.

The category: Pemberville trivia. The Answer: “Laura Kohlenberg?” The Question: “Who is the Pemberville native and Eastwood alum set to appear on Jeopardy!?” on April 10. Fans of the popular game show will want to tune in Friday, April 10 when Kohlenberg takes the podium. Laura, a 1988 graduate of Eastwood High School who now lives in White Plains, New York, had long aspired to be on the Peabody Award-winning “answer-and-question show hosted by Alex Trebek. “Being on the show was a goal I’ve had since it started airing when I was in high school and on the quiz bowl team,” she said. After graduation, she earned a bach-elor’s in Psychology and a Masters of Organization Development, both from Bowling Green State University. Laura started by taking the online test, and actually took it three times before she got a call go to New York City to audition. “After you audition, you are in the con-testant pool for 18 months,” she said. “If they don’t call you by then, you can start the process again by taking another online test.” She was just two weeks away from being out of the pool when the call came on the Thursday before Christmas. Laura, a Global Talent Management Associate at Bunge in White Plains, was at work when the call came. “I let the call go to voice mail because I was in a meeting and didn’t rec-ognize a number from California.” Once given a taping date in late January,

This is Jeopardy!

Eastwood grad tests her knowledge on game show

Laura began preparing. “I made sure I had a world almanac to study, since there is so much information in it,” she said. “I also had friends at work who quizzed me on questions from old shows (j-archive.com).

We found there are many things they con-sistently ask about, just in different ways. “You have no prior information about what the categories will be, so you never know if you are studying the right things,”

she said. Laura’s mother, Jane Kohlenberg, of Pemberville, her twin sister Lisa, of Woodville, and sister Jill Lammi, of Lewis Center, Ohio, accompanied her to the Jan. 28 taping at Sony Studios in Culver City, California by “She surprised me – she wasn’t really nervous at all,” Jane said. “Her attitude was, ‘It’s just going to be fun – if I win, fi ne, if I don’t, it will just be a good experience.’” “There is so much going on, you don’t have a lot of time to be nervous,” Laura said. “I don’t think I had any idea what the score was until someone hit a Daily Double or there was a commercial break. “I’m looking forward to watching, just to see what I don’t remember,” she said. “For example, I don’t think I could name all of the categories I had. As for how she did, audiences will have to watch when the show airs April 10 at 7:30 p.m. on WTOL. “The contestant experience is great,” she said. “The coordinators are very wel-coming and have a lot of energy. One of the things you have to do is fi gure out what to talk to Alex about in the interview. They have three suggestions from a question-naire you submit, and then they ask which one you want to discuss. “It was interesting to see how the show is made, and Alex Trebek is amazingly good at what he does,” Laura said. “Overall, it was a fantastic experience.” Jane agreed. “It was lots of fun,” she said. “They tape fi ve shows in one day and we watched all fi ve of them. “My husband Ray and I are very proud of her – this was a once-in-a-lifetime expe-rience for her.”

Despite having lost over half his start-ers and most of his pitching production from last season, Clay coach Jim Phillips is optimistic about his team’s chances at bouncing back this season. The Clay alum, who says he has a bet-ter understanding of what it’s like to be a head coach with one season under his belt, is confi dent in his pitchers and the defense backing them up. Phillips just needs his hitters to come through in the clutch, and if so, the team should be able to contend with the best in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference. “The big thing is timely hitting. Last year, we had six one-run losses, and that was directly attributed to hitting in the clutch. If we do that, we have a good oppor-tunity to do some good things. I like coach-ing this group. We have a lot of baseball-savvy guys. If the timely hitting works out, we’ll be tough (to beat),” Phillips said. Phillips sees St. John’s Jesuit, the reigning league champion, and St. Francis de Sales, which has a good senior class, as the favorites in the TRAC. First-year Waite coach John Segura, who was at Northwood last season, is a 1991 Waite grad who inherits a team that graduated eight seniors last year. The Indians’ two returning starters are Nick Jensen and Brandon Wagner, who batted over .300 a year ago.

“We’re pretty young and very inexpe-rienced,” Segura said. “Success is not in wins and losses, it’s getting better every day and gaining experience playing var-sity baseball. Our strength right now is our leadership. It’s come from three seniors.” Cardinal Stritch will have to replace three fi rst team All-Toledo Area Athletic Conference players in second baseman Adam Buenrostro, pitcher/third baseman Jake Empie and pitcher/outfi elder Chase Dearing, but Coach Craig Meinzer returns six players with varsity experience.

“We are going to have to rely on the young guys to come through,” said Meinzer, who led Stritch to a runner-up fi nish in the TAAC last season. “We have a lot of good young freshmen in the program at the jay-vee level. We’re hoping to get back to the (Division IV) district championship again. Our pitching should be good and our de-fense should be good. We’ll get better as the year goes on hitting-wise.” First-year Northwood coach Jeff Hess’s fi rst gig as a varsity head coach got off to a good start on Monday, when the Rangers ripped Sandusky St. Mary’s, 11-1. Hess, a Clay grad who played baseball at Owens Community College, has previ-ously coached at Clay, Cardinal Stritch and Rossford.

“Our pitchers threw well,” Hess said of Monday’s win. “They pounded the zone and took control of the game. We had time-ly hitting, with a lot of speed on the bases that kind of led to the victory.”

Hess is the Rangers’ third head coach in four years.

“We have to stay together,” he said. “Me being a fi rst-year head coach, we have to have them continue to buy into my phi-losophy. The type of seniors we have, it didn’t take them long to buy in.” Gibsonburg is coming off a season that saw them win a program record 23 games and its fourth consecutive sectional title, but this year the Golden Bears must replace

several key players. Gone are All-Ohioans Sam Kohler (.506, 50 R, 35 RBIs) and Andrew Cantrell (.400, 37 R, 48 RBIs) and a great pitcher in Gabe Hickman (7-2, 44.2 IP, 2.19 ERA), meaning Gibsonburg has big shoes to fi ll if it intends to play at a high level again this season. “Replacing the offensive production from Sam Kohler and Andrew Cantrell (is an area of concern),” said Coach Kyle Rase, now in his 11th season, “Our team’s suc-cess will be determined by how well we can replace the offensive production lost to graduation.” In the Northern Buckeye Conference, Genoa may be the team to beat. The last two years have been special for the Comets. Last year, the Comets won 20 games and claimed a sectional title, and the year be-fore that, they advanced to the Division III regional fi nals. And with most of their team back, in-cluding six seniors, there’s no reason to think Genoa can’t make another run at an NBC championship. “We should be pretty good, but we lost some core guys that provided a lot of punch on offense,” said Genoa coach Ron Rightnowar, now in his fourth year. “Every year is different but I like the chemistry of this team. They pull for one another and that means a lot in baseball. We are always motivated to perform well, but its baseball and you have to bring it every time out. “(We want) to compete for the confer-ence title and make a strong run in the tour-nament. We want to take the next step in the development of the program.” Genoa, along with Lake, last year’s NBC champion, and Otsego, are expected to contend for the league title this season. The Comets just missed out on winning the conference last year. The Flyers, who have won two of the

last three NBC titles and set a school record for victories last season, have a lot of holes to fi ll.

Lake graduated All-Ohio pitcher Jayce Vancena (8-1, 106 strikeouts in 62 innings), who is now at Michigan, after losing to Huron, 3-2, in last year’s Division III re-gional semifi nals. One huge plus, however, is the return of senior Connor Bowen, who has signed with Owens Community College after batting .478 last season. Bowen, an all-state basketball player, too, struck out just once in 128 plate appearances as a junior baseball player.

“There is no doubt he can play at the next level at either sport (baseball or bas-ketball),” Coach Greg Wilker said. “He’s always loved baseball. Once he concen-trates on baseball, I think he’s going to be a Division I player. Connor is an outstanding shortstop.”

Wilker added that the biggest key to a successful season hinges on how well the pitching staff performs.

“Last year we knew who our No. 1 was going to be,” Wilker said. “With Jayce on the mound, there were a lot of games where we didn’t have to fi eld many balls. We have to fi eld consistently, and we will. Experience will come over time.” At Eastwood, the good news is that the Eagles return seven players who started at some point last season. The bad news is that they only won seven games. Eastwood has seven seniors, but not a lot of varsity experience.

“We have a lot of guys returning, but we are very inexperienced at a lot of positions,” Coach Kevin Leady said. “Defensively we could be a lot better this year. We have a lot of guys who can step in and play. They can run, catch it and swing it. We’ve been a team that’s had to go base to base. I don’t see that this year. We have a team that can run this year.”

Woodmore coach Jacob Huss sees speed as one of his team’s strengths, and he likes the depth of his pitching staff, but is concerned about the number of quality innings he’ll get from his rotation. And there’s always the question about how the younger players will fare stepping in, a task that newcomers Ross Wolford (P/C), John Williams (P/OF) and Matt Depner (P/OF) will face. “We have a lot of younger guys, guys in general that need to prove themselves and step into a role,” Huss said. “We’re look-ing for somebody to step up and fi ll (those roles).” Before beginning play in the NBC, the Wildcats were to face Margaretta, Port Clinton, Old Fort, Northwood, Oak Harbor and Fremont Ross. Despite having a number of questions marks heading into the season, Huss re-mains confi dent about his club. “I like the make-up of the team,” he said. “We have senior leaders stepping up and we have some younger guys pushing for playing time. (It will be a) challenge playing as a team and learning how to fi n-ish games. We will be successful if we play our game, cut down on the errors, make the routine plays and play as a team.” Last season was expected to be a re-building year for Oak Harbor. After grad-uating Mark Konieczny and A.J. Cecil, among others, the end of a special run that saw their class advance to the Division II regional fi nal in 2011, win two sectional titles and a Sandusky Bay Conference title was met with a 9-19 campaign last year. This year, the Rockets are looking to compete for an SBC championship again. “We return a solid core of nine play-ers with varsity experience,” Coach Rob Schimmoeller said. “If we improve our de-fense, we should have a very good season. We have a lot of pitching depth with 150 innings of experience returning. I’m look-ing for big seasons out of the top half of our lineup, which will include Caleb Turco, Mike Osbourne, Jourdan Maguire, Garrett Harvey and David Tooman.”

ClayCoach: Jim Phillips, second seasonCareer record: 10-18Last season: 10-18 (3-7 TRAC)Key returnees: Christian Orr, 2B; Austyn Gwin, CF; Ryan Fournier, SS; Chandler Cannon, POutlook: Phillips has a rotation that in-cludes Chandler Cannon, Josh Mohr and Zach Brown. Chandler threw just 12 innings last year and Mohr and Brown were the top

starters on the junior var-sity, which advanced to the TRAC championship. They’ll have to replace the production lost from the graduation of Bryce Castilleja (4-3, 2.50 ERA)

and Josh Pennington (1-4, 2.84 ERA), who threw a combined 79.2 innings last season. The infi eld backing them up is com-prised of third baseman Kyle Kozlaker, shortstop Ryan Fournier, second base-man Christian Orr and fi rst baseman Zach Brown. The catcher is Jon Quinlan, Austyn Gwin plays center fi eld and Cannon will also play in the outfi eld and can man sev-eral positions on the infi eld. The other two outfi eld positions will likely go to some combination of Ronnie Collins, Chris Walter, Josh Lingohr and Mohr, when he’s

not pitching. Orr (.322, 19 R, 17 RBIs), a sophomore, earned honorable mention distinction in the TRAC and is back to lead things off at the top of the order. Gwin (.303, 3 R, 6 RBIs) will bat second, followed by Fournier (.398, 21 R, 12 RBIs), Kozlaker, Brown, Cannon, Quinlan and a variety of players are in the running for the fi nal two spots. “I think this is a very talented team,” Phillips said. “We have two three arms that I feel very confi dent about. On the mound and defensively, we’ll be right there with anyone in the league.

WaiteCoach: John Segura, fi rst seasonLast season: 7-20Key returnees: Nick Jensen, Sr., C/P; Patrick Ridley, Sr., 1B/OF; Dylan Reed, Sr., Utility; Brandon Wagner, Jr., CF/POutlook: Segura said seniors Jensen, Ridley and Reed are providing that strong leader-ship, and the rest of the team is working hard.

“These are the hardest working kids I’ve worked with,” Segura said. “Nick Jensen is a Naval Academy applicant who has a 4.29 GPA right now. He walks on the fi eld and the kids

love him. He leads by example. Patrick Ridley and Dylan Reed also lead by exam-ple and work hard and help push the kids.”

Sophomore right-hander Jace Gutierrez is expected to be the Indians’ No. 1 pitcher, while lefties Wagner and Jensen and senior Edward Santiago will also see action on the mound. Wagner and Jensen can also catch, and Gutierrez will play shortstop when he isn’t pitching.

“Jace has a good fastball and slider, and he keeps the ball around the strike zone,” Segura said. “When you throw strikes, it makes us play defense. You can’t play de-fense against walks. Our pitchers throw strikes. No one is overpowering on our staff, so we’re going to have to play defense.”

Sophomore Sam Russeau and junior Daniel Bautista will play third base, and freshman Ancelmo Padilla can play short-stop. Senior Joshua Haynes will be used in a utility role and can play at third, as can Santiago. Junior Deon Williams will start in left fi eld, and juniors Jose Merino and Thomas Nutter will also play in the outfi eld.

“These are great kids,” Segura said. “I have them believing we can win the City League right now. We’re going to get better every day. These kids work too hard not to.”

Cardinal StritchCoach: Craig Meinzer, fouth yearLast season: 17-11 (9-3 TAAC)Key returnees: Ricky Pratt, Sr., P/1B; Austin Wlodarz, Sr., P/2B; Paul Drake, Sr., SS/Utility; Jude Neary, Jr., P/C; Sean Killian,

Baseball previews(continued from page 16)

Jr., P/OF; Grant Curavo, Jr., P/OFOutlook: The pitching staff includes Killian, Curavo, Pratt, Neary and Wlodarz. Pratt (2-1, 2.80 ERA), Curavo (2-1, 4.20) and Killian (4-3, 2.41) have the most experience.

“They’ve been playing varsity since their freshman year,” Meinzer said. “Pratt has come into his own as a pitcher the last two years. He gave us some good innings and stepped up big time last year. When they’re throwing

off-speed stuff, they can be (strikeout pitch-ers). Curavo is a little more overpowering.”

Neary will catch when he isn’t on the mound, Pratt plays fi rst base and Wlodarz starts at second. Drake and junior Kyle Zapadka will start at shortstop and third base, respectively. Curavo plays in center fi eld, while right and left fi eld will be fi lled with sophomore Stephen Johnson, who can also pitch, and two freshmen.

Other players who will see action are pitchers Christian Buenrostro, a ju-nior, and sophomore Brice Pratt, freshman catcher Joey Peternel, freshman shortstop/utility player Andrew Flowers, freshman utility Jeff Dunsmore, sophomore second baseman Kyle Miazgowicz, Rossford trans-fer Gage Perry, freshman pitcher/outfi elder D.J. White and junior third baseman Sean Donovan.

NorthwoodCoach: Jeff Hess, fi rst year.Key returnees: Jacob Zieroff, Sr., P/2B/CF; Myles Habel, Sr., 3B/1B; Steve Sutton, Sr., P/2B/1B; Jack Romstadt, Sr., SS/P; Dylan Burke, Sr., OF; Sean Whitmore, Jr., P/PF; James Hazlett, Jr., OF/P; Peyton Nester, Jr., C; Evan LaPlante, So., P/2B/SS. Outlook: Zieroff, a senior right-hander, pitched 4.1 innings to earn the team's fi rst win. Zieroff was honorable mention All-Toledo Area Athletic Conference a year ago.

“He looked real good,” Hess said. “He took com-mand and set up everybody up with his fastball and was able to throw his slider for strikes. He really set the tone from the beginning.”

The Rangers have eight seniors, six of whom who will likely start. Habel was a fi rst-team All-TAAC catcher last year, while Romstadt earned second-team honors at shortstop.

“Miles sticks his nose in there and plays the game the right way,” Hess said. “He’s a big kid who likes to hit the ball, and he’s a true team leader. Romstadt is one of those quiet leaders. He likes to talk with his game. He has very good hands at short, and a good arm. He’s a good contact hitter who hits the ball to all fi elds.”

N

Joining Zieroff on the pitching staff will be Romstadt, Whitmore, Hazlett and LaPlante. Whitmore is the only left-hander.

“We have a wide variety of pitchers,” Hess said. “Each one is kind of different. I can bring each one in and give the hitters a different look. Other than team speed, pitching is defi nitely one of our strengths. We have to throw strikes. If our pitchers are not on, we’re going to have to score a lot of runs.”

Hess also loves his team’s speed — led by Burke, Zieroff, Whitmore, Sutton and senior Chandler Hayes - and versatility at the plate.

“Hayes probably has the best speed of them all,” Hess said. “We can match power for power or play small ball with somebody. (Monday) night we started out taking good swings and were hitting the ball all over the fi eld. The third inning we came out and started bunting. We had two for base hits and were able to catch them off guard.”

GibsonburgCoach: Kyle Rase, 11th seasonCareer Record: 145-117Last Season: 23-5 (8-4 TAAC)Key Returnees: Derek Angelone, C; Jordan Kreglow, SS; Bryce Ernsthausen, P; Andrew Dellinger, P; Brent Hayward, OF; Preston Arriaga, OFOutlook: Looking to fi ll the void lost by graduation will be C Derek Angelone (.362), SS Jordan Kreglow (.321), both of whom were Toledo Area Athletic Conference

second-team selections last season, OF Brent Hayward (.373) and OF Preston Arriaga (.381). F o r t u n a t e l y , Gibsonburg has a strong pitching staff that includes seniors Bryce Ernsthausen

and Andrew Dellinger. Ernsthausen went 4-2 with a 1.75 ERA and 33 strikeouts in 32 innings last season, and Dellinger had an ERA of 2.41 in 13 relief appearances. If Ernsthausen and Dellinger pitch well, and the Bears get some timely hit-ting, there’s no reason they can’t compete for a league title with the likes of Cardinal Stritch, Tiffi n Calvert and Toledo Christian. A number of other players who have seen limited action in the past who could prove to be instrumental to the team’s success this season are Adam Neeb, Zack Kaetzel, Ryan Clark, Madison Jaso and Bryce Mendoza. Before getting into conference play, Gibsonburg will play a schedule that in-cludes Old Fort, Margaretta, New Riegel and Lakota. They also play Fremont St. Joseph on May 2 at the Toledo Mud Hens’ Fifth Third Field in downtown Toledo. Overall, the team has seven return-ing lettermen and four returning starters. The seniors include Dellinger, Kreglow, Angelone, Ernsthausen and Neeb. “We have a great group of seniors pro-viding us with leadership,” Rase said.

GenoaCoach: Ron Rightnowar, fourth seasonCareer Record: 52-30Last Season: 20-7 (12-2 NBC)Key Returnees: Luke Rightnowar, P/SS; Nick Wolfe, C; Cody Pickard, 2B; Jake Wojciechowski, CF/P; Matt Aumiller, P/SS; Kyle Edwards, 3B/POutlook: On the mound, Luke Rightnowar is the team’s ace, having accumulated a ca-reer record of 18-3. Rightnowar, who plays shortstop when he’s not pitching, returns

with fellow start-ers in catcher Nick Wolfe, second base-man Cody Pickard, center fi elder/pitcher Jake Wojciechowski,

shortstop/pitcher Matt Aumiller and third baseman/pitcher Kyle Edwards. That’s a formidable group, but they are faced with having to replace the production lost by the graduation of Logan Scott, Alex Hayes and Casey Gose, who is currently playing baseball at Owens Community College. That production should come from Pickard, who hit .351 last season, Wolfe and Wojciechowski, among others. Currently, the lineup is still being juggled. Luke Rightnowar (7-3, 1.94 ERA) leads a rotation that also includes Wojociechowski, Aumiller and Edwards. If the fi rst two games are any indication, the Comets should be in for a good season. They defeated Delta, 6-3, in the opener and then rallied to defeat Toledo Christian, 10-5. In the win over the Panthers, Rightnowar allowed three runs on four hits and struck out fi ve. Pickard scored twice, Wolfe scored a run and had an RBI, Aumiller had two RBIs and Wojociechowski fi nished with two hits, scored twice and drove in a run.

LakeCoach: Greg WilkerLast season: 27-3 (13-1 NBC)Key returnees: Connor Bowen, Sr., SS/P; Todd Walters, Sr., 1B/P; Adam Duncan, Jr., OF/P; Aaron Witt, Jr., OF/POutlook: Wilker said this year’s Flyers will be “a work in progress.”

“We have some talented players,” he said. “The cupboard is not bare. Connor was the NBC offensive player of the year, so there are some things to build around. Our inexperience is going to test my patience sometimes, but the kids are working very hard. It’s tough to replace that experience. We had six seniors and they all knew their

job.”Walters went 8-0 on

the mound with a 1.56 ERA last year, earning sec-ond-team all-conference honors. Duncan, who hit .357, was also a second-

team pick, and Witt will be looked upon to improve on last year’s .318 average.

Witt, a left-hander, will also pitch along with Duncan, junior Jacob Middaugh, soph-omore Jordan Bekier and senior Chris Serra.

“Todd should be our No. 1,” Wilker said. “Last year he was paired against the other team’s No. 2 and threw some out-standing ball games. Middaugh threw some nice jayvee games. Serra didn’t play a lot last year because of the seniors we had, but he’s capable of some good innings for us.”

Wilker said senior outfi elder Zak Greenlese could also have an impact.

“He played quite a bit last year and is an outstanding athlete,” Wilker said. “He’s going to do some good things for us this year.”

EastwoodCoach: Kevin Leady, fourth yearCareer record: 38-37Last season: 7-18 (6-8 NBC)Key returnees: David Krukemyer, Sr., 1B/DH; Landon Richards, Sr., 1B/DH, Tyler Steele, Sr., P; Eli Brown, Jr., OF/P; Jared Luther, Jr., SSOutlook: Brown was a fi rst-team all-league outfi elder who hit .400 in the Northern Buckeye Conference last year. Steele should be the Eagles’ top pitcher, after going 1-2 in

30 innings as a junior.“Tyler had a rough

start to the year and came back to throw good innings for us,” Leady said. “Eli will also pitch. Beyond

that, we’re still looking. We have some guys who have been throwing. To say who that third guys is, we have to get into the season and get them on the mound and continue to get better. We have to decide when we hit league play who that third starter will be.”

Eastwood scored less than 100 runs a year ago, and one of their top hitters, fi rst-team All-NBC outfi elder Jake Schmeltz, who hit .400 in conference play, has graduated.

“We drove in 90-some runs and three guys drove in 78 of them, and those guys were seniors,” Leady said. “We have two pitchers (Schmeltz and Grant Peters) who are pitching for Owens this year who were on our team last year, and we only won seven games.”

Krukemyer, Brown and Luther were elected captains.

“We’re counting on those three guys to have big years, along with Steele,” Leady said. “He’s going to be thrown into the fi re when we play our big games. Krukemyer has a good, positive attitude keeping our guys even keel. He hits in the middle of our lineup and we need him to have a much better year than he had last year. We need the middle of our lineup to be comparable to what it was last year, and I think we can be successful. My biggest concern is scor-ing runs.”

WoodmoreCoach: Jake Huss, second seasonCareer Record: 7-17Last Season: 7-17 (3-10 NBC)Key Returnees: Tristan Roth, P/INF; Connor Bringman, P/C/1B; Logan Fonseca, IF/OF; Josh Cowell, P/INFOutlook: Tristan Roth is a pretty nice play-er to build around. The junior pitcher, who earned sec-ond-team honors in the Northern Buckeye Conference last season, went 3-3 with a 1.68 ERA and had 51 strikeouts in 41.2 innings of

work. He did well at the plate, too, hitting .314, scored eight runs and 13 RBIs. In fact, Roth led the Wildcats to a 3-0 victory over Cardinal Stritch in the season opener, throw-ing a two-hit shutout, hit-

ting three singles and driving in two runs. Roth will be joined in the rotation by se-nior pitcher/infi elder Josh Cowell (2-3, 4.12 ERA, 34 IP) and juniors Connor Bringman (P/C/1B) and Matt Depner (P/OF). “We have quite a few guys,” Coach Huss says, “that we’ll try and sort out and see how they do in games.” Bringman earned HM All-NBC distinc-tion after hitting .311, scoring 11 runs and driving in 11. Logan Fonseca (IF/OF) hit .286, scored 12 runs and had fi ve RBIs. They’ll have to replace a number of key players, namely Jake Matwiejczyk (.338, 13 RBI, 15 runs, 18 SB), Evan Ulinski (.310, 11 RBI, 21 runs, 6 2B, 9 SB) and Tony Rozzi (.328, 12 RBI, 14 runs, 15 SB). Oak HarborCoach: Rob Schimmoeller, 11th seasonCareer Record: 167-125Last Season: 9-19 (3-11 SBC)Key Returnees: Garrett Harvey, P/1B; Jourdan Maguire, P/OF; Mike Osbourne, C; Kyle Uher, P; Caleb Turco, OFOutlook: The Rockets have two capable starters in Garrett Harvey (32 IP, 3.32 ERA) and Kyle Uher (47.2 IP, 1.91 ERA), plus a lineup that includes Harvey, Jourdan

Maguire, Mike Osbourne and Caleb Turco. The potential for a solid pitching staff, which in-cludes Maguire (18.2 IP, 2.62 ERA) and Ryan Pavlica (21.1 IP, 4.92 ERA), gives

Schimmoeller reason to be optimistic. “We have a lot of pitching depth,” Schimmoeller said, “with 150 innings of experience returning.” But it’s the defense that must back up its pitchers. Last year, the Rockets set a program record with 104 errors, something that killed them. “We return a solid core of nine play-ers with varsity experience, Schimmoeller said. “If we improve our defense, we should have a very good season.” While nothing is set in stone, the lineup for the fi rst game, a 2-1 win over Eastwood, saw Harvey throw a one-hitter, started with Turco, the left fi elder, at the top of the order, followed by Osbourne, the catcher, Maguire (CF), Harvey (P), David Tooman (3B), Chris Pavlica (2B), Dean Kellogg (DH), Ethan Schwaderer (RF) and T.J. Hartman (SS).

Read about the heroes living in the homes next to you.In these 50 short stories, Press columnist John Szozda tells the stories of common people who have met uncommon chal-lenges with vision, courage, passion and determination. These men and women include the Genoa grandmother who helped

solve her daughter’s murder, the Polish-American boy who survived gruesome medical experiments during WWII and the woman, once a victim of fear, who fought back against crime and founded CrimeStoppers.

The offseason for the Detroit Tigers was dominated by the rest of the American League Central acquiring big name free agents and the loss of Max Scherzer in their effort to close the gap on Detroit and its four straight division titles. With all the money the Tigers had tied up in returning its star players, General Manager Dave Dombrowski got creative and made a series of small trades and sign-ings to fi ll holes. He made one splash deal swapping two similar salaried players when he trad-ed 15-game winner Rick Porcello to acquire a player they have coveted for a while in Yoenis Cespedes. Cespedes instantly be-comes the best athlete on the Tigers’ roster. A fi ve-tool outfi elder, Cespedes has a can-non in left fi eld to go with good speed and big power. He had 100 RBIs last year and is in a contract year. He’s also blessed to be hitting behind and learning from Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez. I expect a big year from Cespedes. Three big questions will tell the Tigers’ story. Will veteran stars Justin Verlander and closer Joe Nathan have rebound years? Did Dave Dombrowski do a good job evaluating the unheralded role players he’s acquired in the last two years: Joakim Soria, Shane Greene, Anthony Gose, Jose Iglesias, Alfredo Simon, Tom Gorzelanny, and Ian Krol? How healthy will the Tigers be? Miguel Cabrera is coming off ankle surgery, Victor Martinez is coming off knee surgery, Justin Verlander is currently out with a sore tricep and Joe Nathan fought a dead arm last year and struggled with his velocity. These players are too good to lose. The offense is dynamic. The depth of the lineup and speed is much improved. Leading off they have a top fi ve second basemen in Ian Kinsler. In center, Anthony Gose and Rajai Davis will platoon, both have great speed and have 40-stolen base potential. Gose, once a top prospect, has yet to hit for average in the majors. The Tigers have been tweaking his swing and so far in the spring he’s hitting .302. Following those two come fi ve hitters who all have the potential to hit 20 home runs and 100 RBIs. Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Cespedes,

In My Opinion

The FlipSide

J.D. Martinez and Nick Castellanos. Alex Avila and hot hitting prospect James McCann will platoon at catcher. Jose Iglesias, who was second in the A.L. Rookie of the Year two years ago, returns from in-jury. He hit .303 in 350 at bats but that kind of production isn’t expected. Iglesias is known for his defense. Three straight years in the minors he was voted top defensive shortstop in baseball, once at Double A and twice at Triple A. With Avila, Iglesias, Kinsler and Gose, the defense up the mid-dle will be greatly improved. The starting pitching looks similar to the start of last year. With a couple former Cy Young winners at the top of the rotation in David Price and Justin Verlander. Steady veterans Anibal Sanchez and newly ac-quired All Star Alfredo Simon in the middle

form a deep, potentially dominant rotation. Although I was heartbroken by the loss of Drew Smyly, in comes young Shane Greene to fi ll the fi fth spot, who, Dombrowski has said, is ahead of where Smyly was at this point last year. Greene had a 3.78 ERA in 14 starts. Detroit has some decent spot start-ers at the back end of the rotation and guys in Toledo if someone gets hurt, but no top level prospects. The bullpen has been the teams’ buga-boo for years. The Tigers are counting on bounce-back years from veterans Joakim Soria and Joe Nathan. They added Tom Gorzelanny to replace Phil Coke as their lefty specialist. Al Alburquerque and Joba Chamberlain return along with a host of young promising arms: Ian Krol, Blaine Hardy, Kyle Ryan, and Angel Nesbitt. Bruce

Rondon, who can throw at 100 mph, is the wild card. Coming off Tommy John surgery, his contribution is questionable, but if he could fulfi ll his talent he could take the bullpen to another level. The division is a rare four-team race. The Tigers, Royals, White Sox and Indians all have an equal chance of winning the division. The quality of the division will minimize the total number of wins. All four teams will stay around .500 and with-in striking distance and it will come down to a game or two. In the end I don’t think the White Sox have enough pitching. The Indians are one good starting pitcher from the playoffs. If one of their young arms over-achieves this could be their year, but I still think the Tigers have the best squad and should be able to sneak out a fi fth straight Central Championship, going 88-74. One Wildcard team will come out of the AL West, with the Royals or Indians sneaking in as a wild card. In 20 years of writing this article, I’ve never predicted this, but this year I’m going for it. The Tigers realize they may become remembered like the Buffalo Bills of the 90s who lost four straight Super Bowls, so the team will have added incen-tive to win its fi rst World Series since Kirk Gibson and Lou Whitaker.

Sports Illustrated likes the Cleveland Indians’ pitching staff so much that they picked the Tribe to win the World Series this year. Note: The last time that happened, in 1987, the Indians went 61-101. The so-called “SI Jinx” appears to be no myth, and the nationally recognized sports magazine may have already doomed Cleveland. Despite winning 85 games and finish-ing three games out of the final playoff spot, last season was a disappointment for the Cleveland Indians. The team struggled out of the gate, going 19-25 before reaching the .500 mark at 30-30. From there, Cleveland embarked on a roller-coaster ride that saw them switch between having a winning and los-ing record nine times before finally estab-lishing themselves above .500 for good at 61-60 on Aug. 15. At that point, the Indians were unable to make up enough ground and get back to the playoffs. But if the team’s pitching staff comes through like it did after the All-Star break last season, and guys like Jason Kipnis, Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn bounce back, the Tribe could have one of the best teams in baseball this year. Following the break, Cleveland start-ers ranked second in the American League with a 3.03 ERA and had 633 strikeouts, the most in baseball. Corey Kluber was magnificent, going 18-9 with a 2.44 ERA in 235.2 innings of work. He threw 269 strike-outs and walked 51 batters, good enough to earn him the AL Cy Young Award. Carlos Carrasco finally started to real-ize his potential and had a fine season,

If ‘SI jinx’ doesn’t hold true, Indians could be contenders

pitching in the bullpen from late April until early August. He then started 10 games to finish the season and was bril-liant, allowing more than two runs in a game just twice. For the season, he finished 8-7 with a 2.55 ERA. Trevor Bauer pitched well for a rookie, going 5-8 with a 4.18 ERA, and there are hopes that he can take his game to a new level this season. Left-handed pitcher T.J. House (5-3, 3.35 ERA, 102.0 IP) and Zach McAllister (4-7, 5.23 ERA, 86.0 IP), who has looked good in spring training, will likely round out the rotation as Danny Salazar and Josh Tomlin were optioned to Triple-A Columbus.

They did so assuming that Carrasco has turned the corner for good and Bauer, who has great potential, is destined for a breakout season. If they pitch well, the rotation will be in great shape. Center fielder Michael Bourn (.257 BA, 57 R, 28 RBIs) has been something of a dis-appointment since coming to Cleveland, but what’s been really frustrating has been his inability to avoid the injury bug. In his two years with the Indians, Bourn has missed 88 games. He provides speed on the base paths and is a presence in the leadoff spot, one the team really misses when he’s out. Shortstop Jose Ramirez (.262 BA, 27 R, 17 RBIs) did a sufficient job filling in for Asdrubal Cabrera after he was traded to Washington and left fielder Michael Brantley had a fantastic season, hitting .327 to go with 20 home runs and 97 RBIs, good enough to finish third in the AL MVP race. Brantley could be on the verge of becoming one of baseball’s best hitters. Carlos Santana (.231 BA, 27 HR, 85 RBIs) will play first and newly-acquired RF Brandon Moss (.234 BA, 25 HR, 81 RBIs), who the team acquired in a deal with Oakland, is there to provide power in the middle of the lineup. Catcher Yan Gomes was a very pleasant surprise, hitting .278 with 21 home runs and 74 RBIs and could be a presence in the lineup for years to come. Second base-man Jason Kipnis (.240 BA, 61 R, 41 RBIs) battled injuries and had a disappointing season after signing a lucrative contract, but some believe he will bounce back. Until Nick Swisher (.208 BA, 33 R, 42 RBIs) returns from knee surgery, which

will likely come in May, designated hitter David Murphy (.262 BA, 40 R, 58 RBIs) will hold down the fort. When Swisher returns, Murphy will become the team’s fourth outfielder; though some believe he could be moved at the trade deadline. And third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall (.280 BA, 62 R, 59 RBIs) started off the season scorch-ing hot before struggling mightily during the final three months. The problem with the batting order is that there’s only one legitimate threat in Brantley. Bourn has under achieved, Ramirez is there to fill in until top prospect Francisco Lindor is called up, whenever that happens. Santana does hit for power and has a good on-base percentage, but is too inconsistent and his average leaves a lot to be desired. The keys could be Moss, Gomes and Kipnis. If Moss, who has averaged 28 hom-ers and 84 RBIs over the last two years, provides power, Gomes has another good season and Kipnis returns to form, that should be enough for the team, but the questions remain. The bullpen, which is an asset for the club, includes the likes of closer Cody Allen, Bryan Shaw, Scott Atchison and Marc Rzepczynski, among others. I think the rotation, along with the bullpen, will be enough for the Indians to earn a wild-card spot. Detroit should win the division, but they, along with Kansas City and Chicago do have some concerns, so winning the division is a possibility for Cleveland. And because the AL East is not the division it used to be, the Tribe should be able to get into the playoffs even if they don’t win the Central.

““...Carrasco has turned the corner for good and

Bauer, who has great potential, is destined

for a breakout season.

““The division is a rare four-team race. The

Tigers, Royals, White Sox and Indians all

have an equal chance...

nspirational essage of the eek: It can always be worse

On the day that I was receiving the news that this would

be my last day of employment my neighbor was getting

the news that she had a brain tumor. I was doing my

best to keep my spirits up, and frankly feeling a bit sorry

for myself when I ran into her out front of my house.

When she told me the news, and she was incredibly

positive about it, I realized immediately that being out

of work is of very little concern in comparison to a

serious health issue. The good news for her was that

the tumor is not malignant and that surgery is an

option, and apparently a pretty good option in her case.

Sometimes the news is really bad, and we are told that

the tumor is malignant, or that there isn't anything that

can be done for us, but even then there is always hope.

Sometimes the hope is simply that they can keep us

comfortable in our last days, or that we will have time to

spend with family and friends. But ultimately, the great

hope of Christians, and of people of almost every faith,

is that a loving God is looking out for us, and waiting to

welcome us to our eternal home when our sojourn here

on earth is done. – Christopher Simon. For I know the

plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to

prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you

hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

The Owens Community College soft-ball program has thrived for over 16 sea-sons, capturing 12 conference titles, two regional titles and finishing in the top five in the nation twice. Now, there is one more achievement for the program — 500 wins.

With the offensive heavy 12-6 and 17-10 wins over Walsh University JV, Owens improved to 501-233-1 overall since 1999.

The program began in the 1998-99 school year under the direction of head coach Mickey Arquette following a season at the club sport level. The team finished 17-22 that year, one of only two losing sea-sons in program history.

In the five years under Arquette, Owens went 143-77-1, including a 76-24 mark in Ohio Community College Athletic Conference play. The team won four straight conference championships from 2000-03 before Arquette left. Perhaps the two best players from that era were Crystal Shank, who earned NJCAA Division III second team All-American honors in 2000, and Kristina Schultz, an NJCAA D-II first team All-American in 2003.

From 2004-2014, the Owens softball program was led by Duane Lanham, who compiled a 347-147 overall record and a 111-19 record in OCCAC play. In his 11 seasons, Owens won eight conference championships and two Region XII cham-pionships. In 2005, the team went 44-12 and finished fifth in the nation. In 2011, Lanham’s team went 44-5 overall and fin-ished second in the nation. The 2005 and 2011 teams each hold the program record for most wins in a single season.

During that 11-year period, the program produced four All-Americans and many outstanding players. In 2005, sophomore ace April Nietrzeba earned second team All-American honors after a 44-12 season, although many other players also contrib-uted to the success of that team. In 2009, freshman shortstop Amanda Temple earned first team All-American honors after hitting

.509 with 54 RBIs and eight triples.In 2011, sophomore third baseman

Alaina Haubert hit. 487 with 51 RBI, 23 doubles and seven home runs while nearly leading the team to a national title. Then, this past year, freshman shortstop Brittany George hit a school record .549 and also set a new record for slugging percentage at 1.059. She added 45 RBIs, 16 doubles and 10 home runs.
