Daphne Derden, Director of Career Technology at Toledo Public Schools, ad-mits she does not necessarily agree with all of Governor John Kasich’s policies. But when it comes to directing new initiatives for education, she believes he is “awesome.”

She says the jobs are going back to the trades — and it’s a different world of trades than it was in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. And, Kasich and the Ohio legislature are responding. “Even with the emphasis from a federal perspective, a state perspective, and a local perspective, this is a great time for career technology in that we’ve gotten so much support and attention right now,” Derden said. “Sometimes it’s overwhelming, but it’s been long overdue and I’m so glad this attention has come because it’s good for the economic health of our region.” For example, she says when House Bill 107 became law, it provided an incentive from the state to industry to partner with school districts. Companies can now get up to $5,000 per student to bring them into their industry and train them. In addition, she says House Bills 393 and 487 have made an impact, providing new ways to get high school diplomas and basically mandating that districts make sure students know they have options other than a college degree that they can pursue. The legislation even affects how a student can graduate high school. “We’re looking at things differently — the state is telling us we don’t have a choice,” Derden said, adding that TPS is already implementing new pieces to work with industry starting this fall. Because of the legislation, students can now get high school diplomas through three different methods, Derden said. They can use the traditional method, by completing end-of-course exams for academics such as English, Math, Science, and Social Studies; they can pass a reme-diation free score on their ACT test; or they can chose the career tech way — by dem-onstrating career readiness on work-key as-sessments or pass an industry recognized

Seven years ago, a third-grader from Fremont named Parker Inks did something that most of us could only dream of doing: he started a foundation with the idea that his community could help to raise money to help pay for local families’ medical bills. Since then, the organization that is named for Inks, Parker’s Purpose, has raised greater than $150,000 which has been given to over 200 families in Ohio in an effort to help them pay for their children’s medical bills and has spawned a movement that has raised awareness about the trials and tribu-lations with which families who have sick children must deal. Throughout his ordeal, Inks, now 16, has lived with muscular dystrophy for near-ly his entire life, but has continued to serve as an inspiration for many in Northwest Ohio. To raise money for the cause, the or-ganization, which is headed up by Todd Drusback, a Fremont native who works as a teacher and football coach at Rossford High School, has hosted local sports legends as keynote speakers at an annual dinner event. In recent years, the event featured Ohio State University football greats Eddie George and Coach Jim Tressel, and this year, Parker’s Purpose welcomed the only two-

time Heisman Trophy winner in Buckeye legend Archie Griffi n. It was the largest crowd to ever attend the event, which was emceed by WTOL’s Jerry Anderson and Dan Cummins, with 401 attendees, a sign of its growing potency. Griffi n, 60, who won college football’s top award in back-to-back seasons in 1974 and ’75, spoke at Ole Zim’s Wagon Shed in Gibsonburg about inspiration, and those who inspired him during his life. He refer-enced his faith in God, his high-school foot-ball coach, and his parents, who instilled within him the importance of getting an education and participating in athletics. And, Griffi n talked about legendary Ohio State coach Woody Hayes, who he credits for guiding him on the right path during his youth. Griffi n referenced overcoming obsta-

cles, something he did as a freshman when he started the season on the depth chart as the fi fth running back before fumbling in Ohio State’s fi rst game against Iowa and then forgetting to take his helmet onto the fi eld with him when Hayes called his number the following week against Northwestern. However, Griffi n swiftly moved past those mistakes, rushing for what was then a single-game Buckeye record of 239 yards in the victory over the Wildcats. That, he notes, was the most exciting moment of football in his life. Griffi n would fi nish his fi rst year with 867 yards on 159 carries and three scores before taking his game to an-other level in ’73 when he rushed 247 times for 1,577 yards and seven touchdowns. His two Heisman-winning seasons saw the Columbus native carry the ball 518 times for 3,145 yards and 16 scores as he made history and fi nished out his career with four Rose Bowl appearances.

Tough times and setbacks Professionally, Griffi n played seven sea-sons for the Cincinnati Bengals, which re-covered from back-to-back 4-12 seasons and a 6-10 campaign before persevering to make it to the Super Bowl in 1981. “In order to be successful,” Griffi n told the packed house, “you’ve got to be able to deal with the tough times and the setbacks.

Career Technical Education for today’s students

Source: Penta Career Center

Legislation makes skilled trades hot againcredential. You see, college is no longer the way to go, and counselors like her are hearing about it. “Counselors get beat up enough — (People say) ‘Oh, they are just not doing enough to make sure they market career tech, and they are pointing the kids to take these academic classes to go straight to col-lege and every kid needs option to under-stand.’ Well, he (Kasich) has even put in place that districts must have a career advi-sory in place and districts are now required by law to show that they are providing stu-dents with career options.”

Steve Bialorucki, director of career and technical education at Oregon Schools, says this tells anyone paying attention that education is in a state of change.

Bialorucki says traditional enrollment in what used to be called “vocational edu-cation” included programs like machine trades, auto tech and drafting. The image of vocational education was perceived to be unappealing to the majority of students and parents were told that “success” was tied to a college degree – any college de-gree.

To explain how things change and how things also remain the same, Bialourcki emailed The Press excerpts from author Kevin Fleming’s 2012 book, Success in the New Economy: How prospective college students can gain a competitive advantage.

Fleming says that a university degree no longer guarantees a higher salary. He says thanks to “rising education costs, a shrinking job market, and the oversatura-tion of some academic majors in the work-force, this old advice is now a myth for a majority of students. The economy and the

Continued from front page

world have dramatically changed.”

College can be waste of timeFleming notes Harvard University

predicts that in 2018 only 33 percent of all jobs will require a four-year degree or more, while the overwhelming majority will be middle-skilled jobs requiring tech-nical skills and training at the credential or associates degree level.

“A four-year degree may have many benefi ts, but think about people you may know who, from an economic perspective, ineffi ciently spent time and money to get a degree that perhaps they didn’t really need for the career they are in,” Fleming wrote.

Bialorucki explained, “As our parents watched throughout the 1980s and 1990s as downsizing took jobs away from the middle class and off-shoring took manufac-

turing away, the perception of job security seemed to be given to those with college degrees. Our parents said, ‘I want more for my kid. You’re going to college.’”

He said the result was college enroll-ment boomed, campuses doubled in size and loads of high school grads enrolled in college right after high school — about 66 percent according to the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics.

“It seemed like a success,” says Bialorucki. “What we did not realize was our completion rate of college degrees was very low – somewhere in the 25 percent range. While at the same time, there was little attention paid to the decreasing num-ber of younger people entering the trades or traditional ‘vocational education’ program-ming. The result is our current situation

of baby-boomers retiring and fewer people with skills able to replace them.” Trades have made such a comeback, that TPS Superintendent Romules Durant is considering bringing back a “Macomber-like” vocational school. “He is very serious about that,” Derden said. “He is having discussions and meet-ings about that and we have petitioned funding to make it happen. It’s in the works. We just need the OK to move the funding forward.” TPS already has Toledo Technology Academy in the DeVilbiss Building, which Derden emphasizes is “career technology ‘all-day’” but on a different scale. “It is also a great example to look at in terms of academics and the technology side of career tech and bringing those two con-cepts together. Kids really begin to make the connection as to why their academics are what they are,” Derden said. “Therefore, it’s not algebra — it’s a part of what ‘I (a worker) need to do my job.’ Once those connections are made, it’s amazing what kids can do and what they can articulate that they can do because it has meaning behind it. That really makes a difference.” In addition, Derden says there are other variables that need to be taught. She calls them “tangibles” or “real issues.” “For industry, we need to get our stu-dents prepared to work for you,” Derden said. “Employability is a major piece of (in-dustry’s) issues, and ours. It’s simple things and it’s not an algebraic equation. It’s some-thing like, ‘Get along with others. Show up on time. We need you to be able to commu-nicate — written and verbal. We need you to have integrity. We need you to be honest. We need you to have initiative and drive.’”

We all get knocked down in life, but it’s whether or not you get back up that counts.” He also stressed the importance of pay-ing it forward, referencing Ralph Waldo Emerson’s quote, “In the order of nature we cannot render benefi ts to those from whom we receive them, or only seldom. But the benefi t we receive must be rendered again, line for line, deed for deed, cent for cent, to somebody.” Griffi n continued, “I think about Parker’s Purpose and I think about Woody. He would’ve loved to have met Parker. (Woody) talked about paying it forward, and that’s why (I’m here). I thank you, Parker, and the committee for what you do.” Parker’s mother, Patty, also spoke, thanking everyone for attending and do-nating their time and money to the cause.

Patty, who has been a constant source of inspiration for her son, was diagnosed with cancer eight years ago and saw her cancer resurface recently. For those who are inter-ested in helping her, there is a site accepting donations for her on GoFundMe at “Patti’s Cancer Treatment Fund.” “You talk about a warrior? You could do a book about her life story and her fi ght. Those are the people that are inspiring,” Drusback said about Patty. “There are peo-ple who have money and are very generous, but there are people who don’t have a lot of money that take care of a special-needs child and takes care of herself and works to give to others. Those are the people that inspire us, like Archie stated. Patty’s at the forefront and hopefully people can help her as well.” Despite the organization’s success, Drusback says Parker’s Purpose is looking to

grow and expand and become even more of a presence in Northwest Ohio and beyond. “It was the biggest turnout (we’ve had so far),” Drusback said. “I think we had over 400 guests, and when you include our vol-unteers, there were over 430. That’s really kind of the max.” “When we did start this, I don’t mean to have this sound conceded, but I did envi-sion this thing starting to take off. To see it come to fruition is great. If you don’t believe it and can’t envision it, then it’s not going to happen,” Drusback said. “We’re excited because we’ve got-ten some corporations that are involved as sponsors that give monthly donations. We’re hoping to get more to come aboard. We’re looking to do some collaborative work with Family House in Toledo in February. And we’re expanding some of our other fun-draising efforts.

“We have some things in the works to generate some funds to get our name out there. We’ve talked to (University of Toledo football coach) Matt Campbell and (for-mer UT and now NFL quarterback) Bruce Gradkowski and the UT football program about getting involved with Glass City Marathon for some more fundraising efforts. It all really started with Parker and his will-ingness to inspire and Parker is going to be taking more of an active role, which is excit-ing, too.” One of those next fundraising events is currently taking place. Baumann Auto Group, with two dealerships in Genoa, is donating a car that will be auctioned off on Oct. 3. Tickets cost $5 and 100 percent of the proceeds go to the charity.

The level of microcystin detected in the intake crib in Lake Erie on Monday in-creased by Wednesday. Samples and tests taken from the in-take crib by Toledo showed 1.0 parts per billion (ppb) of microcystin in raw lake wa-ter, though no detection in tap water. “Accelerated treatment is not needed at this time,” according to a report on the city’s Facebook page. “The City of Toledo will continue its protocol of sampling every day and testing once a week. We will con-tinue to closely monitor water conditions in the intake crib in Lake Erie.” Two days earlier, Toledo Mayor Paula Hicks Hudson called a press conference to announce that the city’s water quality status had been changed from “clear” to “watch” after 0.5 ppb of microcystin was detected in the intake crib. Water quality is “clear” when there is no detection in the intake crib in Lake Erie and in the tap water. It is elevated to “watch” when there is a detection in the in-take crib, but not in the tap water. Toledo water customers were already jittery as they approached the one year an-niversary of a tap water ban that triggered a water crisis due to the detection of high levels of microcystin, a toxin created by blue green algae. Last August 2, Toledo is-sued the ban to communities that consume city water after it was detected in samples taken from the Collins Park water treatment plant in East Toledo. Samples taken from the plant, which draws its water from the western basin of Lake Erie, showed that mi-crocystin was detected at 3 ppb, exceeding the 1 ppb safety threshold established by the World Health Organization. The toxin, at high levels, can cause abnormal liver function in humans and animals. “There has been a change in the water quality,” said Hicks Hudson in the press conference Monday night that interrupted regularly scheduled programming. Though she emphasized that “our water is safe to drink,” she announced that “a very small amount of microcystin was detected in the intake crib, which is three miles out in Lake Erie.” The amount, she added, was equal to “one half of a blade of grass in a football fi eld.” The city’s water treatment process, she said, was effectively removing the micro-cystin through routine processes. “Accelerated treatment is not needed at this time,” she said. She said it would take an hour and a half for the water to travel from the intake crib to the low surface pump station, and another four hours for the water to travel from the low surface pump station to the Collins Park water treatment plant, giving the city “more than enough time to ade-

Microcystin detected

quately treat the water.” “We’re going to continue to honor our commitment to our citizens and our cus-tomers to give timely updates to our water quality,” she said. Chuck Campbell, Toledo’s water com-missioner, said the algal bloom appeared more predominantly towards the Lake Erie islands. If the level of microcystin goes up again, the city would “step up the treatment at that point and we would go through our protocol, which is, after we increase treat-ment, we make notifi cation again,” said Campbell. The city would then move into what he called a “cushion” period. “That’s one of the differences this year from 2014 – we have more time. We have more treatment time, we have more notice time, so time is on our side this year,” he said. Meanwhile, in Oregon, Public Service

Director Paul Roman said he, Water Plant Superintendent Doug Wagner, and City Administrator Mike Beazley have been working on putting together a fact sheet on microcystin for the public. “We also have established a Facebook page for the water treatment plant and we are fi nalizing the fact sheet. We hope to get it out to the public starting on Wednesday. We’ll put it out onto the Facebook page. Our website will also indirectly connect you to it as well. As Doug does his micro-cystin testing, he is posting that data direct-ly onto the Facebook page so you can get it directly and quickly. There’s a lot of good information on that page. We’re very well prepared for this season,” said Roman. Oregon has its own water treatment plant and was not impacted by Toledo’s water crisis last year. The city has detected trace amounts of microcystin in the past and is in the process of updating its plant to improve water quality.

A tour of sustainable and organic farms in Ohio will make a stop Aug. 7 in Sandusky County. Turnow Ventures, which began opera-tion in 1980 with 600 acres, will be featured during the 2015 tour and workshop series sponsored by the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association. The farm is located at 2956 County Rd. 92 near the Village of Lindsey. The tour stop will be at the farm from 1-3 p.m. Steve Turnow began experimenting with growing organic crops in 1998. Within fi ve years, he certifi ed all 1,500 acres of his farm to comply with certifi cation standards set by the National Organic Program. Presently, 600 acres are dedicated to alfalfa production, which is a vital cog of a value-added supply chain of dehydrated chicken feed pellets – a part of the opera-tion managed by extended family members. The stop will also feature the farm’s rotation practices for corn, soybeans, wheat and black beans. Turnow said he decided to try grow-ing organically after he realized there was a market for the crops and he wanted to get away from using pesticides. “I guess I felt more comfortable farm-ing that way – to produce a fuller feed that didn’t have so much pesticide residual,” he said. “It’s been good up to this year. Without the use of herbicides it’s hard to kill weeds and it’s hard to kill weeds when it’s raining nearly every day.” Chances are if you eat organic eggs they may come from chickens raised on Turnow’s grains. “A lot of my products go to feed use,” Turnow said. “Some of it goes to food use. If you wanted to buy an organic corn chip, for example.” The organic black bean market appears to also be expanding, he said, noting the Chipotle restaurant chain and others have adopted policies to buy from organic grow-ers. The tour stop is free and open to the public. For information contact Turnow at

A 2-mill permanent improvement levy request on the Aug. 4 ballot in the Gibsonburg Exempted Village School District, will, if passed, be used for build-ing improvements, a new bus, computer upgrades and other non-operating expens-es. The continuing levy would gener-ate about $201,687 annually and cost the owner of a home with a market value of $100,000 about $70 per year, said Tim Murray, district superintendent. The school board has decided to not seek renewal of a current 1-mill permanent improvement levy if voters approve the levy on Tuesday’s ballot, he said. Gibsonburg voters approved a 2-mill permanent improvement levy in 1980 but it was reduced to 1 mill when the district partnered with the Ohio School Facilities Commission and built new schools. That mill is now generating a little more than $47,000 annually to maintain fa-cilities, Murray said. During the last fi scal year, the school


A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit alleging the Woodmore Board of Education repeatedly violated Ohio’s open records and meetings laws. A conference held July 29 in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court resulted in a full settlement, according to a status report fi led by John Py, a mediator. The report calls for attorneys for the school board and for Cara Brown, a Woodville resident who lodged the com-plaint, to fi le a dismissal entry with the court. Court costs are to be paid by the board.

board had to tap into the district’s general fund for an additional $145,279 to pay for expenses that would normally be covered by the permanent improvement fund. The 2-mill levy would be used for:

In the district’s July newsletter, Murray and Dr. Paul Lockwood, district treasurer, compared the school system’s situation with a homeowner who’s achieved his dream of owning a home but faces the re-sponsibility – and expenses – of maintain-ing the residence. “Gibsonburg Schools realized their ‘American Dream’ about 14 years ago with the completion of the high school-middle school and Hilfi ker elementary school com-plexes. Good stewardship of the property has enabled these schools to retain their new school luster through all of these years,” they write. “Just like homeowners we are fi nding that the cost of maintaining these facilities is increasing. Our buildings are just like your homes, roofs start to leak, lights wear out, blacktop deteriorates, plumbing breaks down, and doors fall off their hinges. When you have over 1,000 people coming and go-ing each day this wear and tear is not unex-pected.”

Brown said last Thursday she’s been directed by her attorney to not discuss the settlement until the fi nal paperwork has been fi led with the court. Her lawsuit alleged:

• Agendas for special and regular meetings of the board in 2014 and the fi rst two months of 2015 were defi cient and vi-olated the laws.

• The minutes of the board’s special and regular meetings during the same time are limited to roll call vote results with “virtually no discussion” in violation of the laws.

• Board committee meetings were scheduled without appropriate notice to the public and meetings were not always open to the public. Also, agendas weren’t

Settlement reached in records, meetings complaintprepared for the meetings and there were no minutes written at their conclusion.

• The board held a work session on Dec. 27 but the public wasn’t given ade-quate notice and the session wasn’t open to the public.

• Board members have conducted “pre-arranged discussions of public busi-ness.” One count of her complaint said the board violated section 121.22 of the Ohio Revised Code, which states: “This sec-tion shall be liberally construed to require public offi cials to take offi cial action and to conduct all deliberations upon offi cial business only in open meetings unless the subject matter is specifi cally excepted by law.”

Water quality funding availableto help farmers Funding is available through the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) to help Western Lake Erie Basin farmers to improve water quality. The fi ve-year RCPP agreement, which provides $17.5 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) was signed May 1 and is now ready to assist farmers in installing a variety of best man-agement practices that will keep nutri-ents on fi elds and improve water quality. Farmers can sign up at the Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District offi ce at 240 W. Lake St., Oak Harbor. The targeted approach focuses efforts on the 855,000 acres that have been identi-fi ed as the most critical areas to treat within the larger 7 million acre watershed. This new RCPP project expands access to public and private technical assistance, new and ongoing innovative conservation practices and expertise for modeling and evaluating outcomes to farmers in these critical sub-watersheds. Nutrient management practices such as cover crops, drainage water manage-ment structures, blind tile inlets, place-ment of phosphorus below the soil surface using variable rate technology (VRT) and animal waste management are the primary conservation focus available through these programs.

Warner selected Todd Warner has been selected as the Supervisory Agricultural District Director for District Four of the Ohio Farm Service Agency, which includes a 15-county area. Warner began his duties June 29. As district director, Warner serves as the agency liaison between the Ohio FSA State Offi ce and 15 FSA county offi ces. He will provide oversight, program advice, training and guidance to county commit-tees and county offi ce staff on commodity and farm programs. Warner replaces Joel Obrecht, who re-tired earlier this year as the District Director in Northwest Ohio. He will oversee Allen, Auglaize, Defi ance, Fulton/Lucas West, Hancock, Henry, Mercer, Ottawa/Lucas East, Paulding, Putnam, Sandusky, Seneca, Van Wert, Williams and Wood counties.

Toledo’s water crisis anniversaryState Representative Teresa Fedor joined local offi cials and conservation groups at Meinke Marina, Jerusalem Township, to discuss ways to curb algae-causing pollution. This month marks the one year anniversary when harmful algal blooms left more than 400,000 people without safe drinking water for nearly three days. The event included a boat tour to view conditions of the lake. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean)

A request for a Special Use Exemption (SUE) permit to raise chickens in a residen-tial area on S. Wynn Road has been with-drawn. David Pullella, who made the request, asked council in a letter that he be allowed to withdraw his application for an SUE, according to Council President Dennis Walendzak. A public hearing on the matter was scheduled at a council meeting last Monday. Council approved a motion to allow Pullella to withdraw his application with the understanding that he could reapply in the future without additional application fees. The Oregon Planning Commission on June 16 voted 3-2 to recommend to council that the SUE be denied. There was opposition to the SUE re-quest from some of Pullella’s neighbors. The property at 935 S. Wynn Road is in a low density residential district. The city’s Project Review Committee had no objections to the request, but rec-ommended that a plan be submitted and approved for waste removal and housing. Pullella had said his immediate plans were to raise the chickens to lay eggs. The chickens would be fenced in. A coop would be located behind a 10 foot by 12 foot shed, located about 250 feet from the road. He had also planned to build a run for them as well. Mayor Mike Seferian, who had vot-ed in favor of the SUE as a member of the Planning Commission, said at Monday’s council meeting that there was some con-fusion regarding Pullella’s intent to raise the chickens. The Building and Zoning’s inspec-tion department had asked Pullella if he had wanted to include any other animals, since there was a $300 application fee for the SUE, Seferian explained. Pullella then said he might want to raise rabbits, ducks, goats, turkeys, swans and pheasants at some point in the future. “So they added all those other ani-mals, thinking that some day they might entertain the idea of housing other ani-

Request to raise chickens on Wynn Road withdrawn

mals there. But that was never their orig-inal intent. Neighbors were somewhat alarmed when they saw other animals that were requested in this SUE request,” said Seferian. “The meeting got somewhat testy, to say the least. And they conceded to the six hens. It didn’t get presented in the way it was intended. The real intention was for the six hens. In their request to with-

draw and reapply, without anything in the request other than the six hens, I thought was a more clear cut understanding of what they were actually going to do. I think it’s a fair request to start over, and actually ask for what they really want.” City Law Director Melissa Purpura, who spoke to Pullella before the meeting, said he had made it clear that his intent was to have only six chickens. “At the time he had met with the in-dividuals from Building and Zoning, they were trying to be helpful At that time, he had put together a wish list. In doing that, he did not realize it would have such an impact knowing that his immediate intent was for the six chickens. So I think he got a little confused with the process, and not understanding, also, the impact it could potentially cause to other neighboring in-dividuals and homes. He advised me that he would like to reapply, that he will re-quest another application, go in front of the planning commission, and it would be very clear it would only be for those six chick-ens,” said Purpura.

Seferian said most people who come before the planning commission do not fully “understand the magnitude of what they’re dealing with.” “I try to get in touch with as many of them beforehand so they understand the procedure and they can help themselves better. But most of the time the applicants are their own worst enemy because they don’t understand the procedure. I see that often,” said Seferian. “I try and do every-thing I can to get them as much informa-tion of how things go so they can do a better job of presenting themselves. And this doesn’t go for just individuals. I have seen businesses come in and have an even worse problem because they are totally tak-en aback, even stunned. “We’re trying to do things to better educate them of the procedure and what is reasonable in a request, and how they may present their case. And it’s not always easy to get to them to deliver that message. Maybe there’s something we can do in the future to help people prepare for their cas-es. But it happens a lot.”

Dare to Live

Cheers for musicalTo the editor: I recently attended “The Sound of Music” presentation by The Oregon Community Theatre’s children’s production. I want to say the only thing “childlike” about this production was the age of the ac-tors. The young lady who was cast as Maria, could play Maria on Broadway. The VonTrapp children as well could have been in an upgraded production. The women portraying nuns were also amazing. Cheers to the Oregon Community Theater and to the director and producer and all the staff and volunteers. Cheers to all the children in the cast for giving our community their best.Mark J. ReevesOregon

Judge obligatedTo the editor: A recent poll question asked if a judge can refuse to marry gay couples because of his or her personal beliefs. The answer is no. The founding fa-thers were learned men. They studied his-tory and the churches. Kings used to rule as God’s chosen messenger and that led to centuries of abuse and torture by the church. Our founding fathers, well aware of this fact, created a defi nite separation of church and state, which fundamentalist and conservative Catholics have been try-ing to destroy. A church can forbid its own members from breaking a law they create but they can’t stop other people from leading their own lives. By refusing to perform gay mar-riages a judge is putting his religion above the state and others’ rights.

This is a common tactic of conserva-tives’ religion. The same tactic was tried by a few restaurant owners who refused to serve gays in the name of religions. Our forefathers wrote a constitution to protect minority opinion and grant the same rights to everybody. This is why we have a sepa-ration of church and state and a judge can’t refuse the same rights to everybody, citing his religious beliefs. By doing so he is forc-ing others to obey his religion and denying others equal rights. A judge works for the state, not his church, and is honor bound to follow the laws of the country. If he can’t follow the constitution and our country’s laws he shouldn’t be a judge.Albert KapustarOregon.

Park pond mosquitoesTo the editor: I wanted to write this letter a few years ago, but didn’t. When the Metroparks of the Toledo Area purchased acreage in Oregon near Starr Avenue, Lallendorf Road, Seaman Road and Wynn Road it seemed like a good buy. Park lands are always needed. What has been done with these lands is where I have a problem. First, those in charge decided that trees were needed, so they planted them. Most were just seed-lings and weren’t large enough to hold up against high winds and ice storms. Many of the trees died – waste of taxpayers’ hard-earned money. Next, the parks system decided to create a “Black Swamp” look with many,

many small holding ponds to create the ap-pearance of swamp land. Not good. Small puddles of water have created a breeding ground for one of the most men-acing insects on earth – mosquitoes. Not good. We’re told standing water in our back-yards needs to be drained to eliminate breeding grounds for mosquitoes. We even pay the county a tax to spray our streets and neighborhoods to kill these pests. In turn, we provide one of the largest areas for them to populate. Wow. I took a course in the early 1970s with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources on how to manage these types of areas and the department’s advice to control insects was to make your pond deep enough for fi sh that will eat the mosquito larvae. Mosquitoes can be carriers of some bad diseases. With the amount of rain we’ve had, this year appears to be ideal for the mosquito population. I love the parks.Larry ErardOregon

Arts are thrivingTo the editor: We recently had the pleasure of attending “The Sound of Music” as per-formed by the children’s theatre group of the Oregon Community Theatre. What an outstanding job done by all involved, despite the heat of the evening in Fassett Auditorium. Director Beth Giller, along with all the adult workers, put together a cast of stu-dents in grades three through eight that

showed talent and discipline in becoming their characters. Much credit goes to the City of Oregon and the recreation department for provid-ing so much support for the children’s show. This is a community that believes in all children and recognizes a need for diverse opportunities in summer activi-ties for students. Applause to Oregon City Council for its years of supporting the arts in Oregon. The musical talent, acting, lighting effects, choreography, sets, costumes, pro-gram, sound system, and lobby offerings all provided an evening of such high quality. There is much to be proud of when you think of the sacrifi ces families have done for weeks in preparation and getting their child to daily rehearsals. With more than 80 in the cast and so many family and friends supporting them, there is no doubt that these young people are doing good things and there is hope for our future in their hands. This collaborative with the Oregon Community Theatre and City of Oregon just confi rms what great things can be done when groups work together. The arts are a refl ection of the health of a community and Oregon is thriving.Ron and Dianne DavisGenoa

A confi dence builderTo the editor: Congratulations to the Oregon Community Theatre and all those involved. Every summer everyone involved does a great job. It gives the kids confi dence and something good to do in the summer. We’re proud to say we live in Oregon.Cheryl and Gary KigarOregon

Gossip:”Casual or unconstrained conversa-tion or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confi rmed as being true.”

People love to talk about other people. Out of the ordinary behavior, scandals, fi -nances, and relationships are always pop-ular topics of gossip. The more unusual, outrageous, or shocking, the more gossip is generated. The advent of social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, accelerated gossip’s distribution speed and enabled worldwide reach. The resulting impact of gossip has therefore been signifi cantly magnifi ed as well. Gossip is normalized through the nu-merous gossip TV shows and gossip print media. The resultant thirst for information on every aspect of the lives of others is in-satiable. Too many people spend far more time watching other people than being con-cerned with the direction and quality of their own lives. Sadly, more often than not, gossip has a destructive result. It can cause feelings of alienation, rejection, ridicule, and em-barrassment. Gossip targeting a particular individual is a form of bullying. False gossip which taints someone’s reputation is malicious, not a joke. The impact on the target is often widespread and long lasting. Unfortunately, gossip, re-peated often enough, becomes accepted as “fact” in many people’s minds. Gossip infl uences our perception.

Step away from the gossip, focus on your own goals

Negative gossip spreads the fastest. What we hear impacts our views, judgment, and conclusions about people or circumstances. Negative gossip is more memorable than positive gossip. Once an opinion forms, it is diffi cult to change. Our opinions subse-quently direct our behavior. It is unlikely for a person to research the source of gossip in order to determine its validity. For example, a friend of yours tells you they heard from someone that they thought the food at a particular restau-rant isn’t very good. As a result, you prob-ably won’t eat at that restaurant. There are numerous reasons why peo-ple start or spread gossip. For some, they feel better by making someone else feel bad. Being involved with gossip may be an attempt at acceptance by joining the crowd. Seeking attention is a motivation for starting or spreading gossip. These people consider gossip as a way to get noticed. Hurting others through gossip generates a feeling of power for some individuals. They attempt elevating their status by step-ping on others. Gossip is used for revenge by those who believe their targets don’t deserve, or

are not entitled to, some or all of the good things in their lives. Revenge seekers have a chip on their shoulder that their life has been unfair. Don’t be part of the process of starting or spreading gossip. In addition to spread-ing misery to others, being involved with gossip negatively impacts you as well. If you know something to be false, speak up rather than remaining silent. You have to be aware of the harmful ef-fects of gossip. Since gossip can infl uence your thoughts and behavior, remaining skeptical as to the validity of gossip pro-tects you. Always ask yourself the follow-ing questions: Who is spreading the gossip? What is the source of the gossip? What is the motivation for the gossip? Is the gossip based on verifi able facts, conjecture, opin-ions, or hearsay? The answers, in most instances, will illustrate how useless and destructive the gossip is. Therefore, the best way to deal with gossip is to ignore it without getting caught up in its endless cycle. By so doing you will maintain a more positive outlook on life, while saving lots of time and effort. So let gossip pass you by. Don’t start it, contribute to it, participate in it, or send it along. Although you can’t control the actions of others, it is up to you whether or not you become involved in gossip. Instead of gossiping about others, pay at-tention to what you are doing and where you are headed.

“Just before midnight a man with a black handkerchief tied over his face and a revolver in his hand entered the saloon …and commanded: “Hands up! I want your money—all of you!” “Four customers threw up their hands in quick compliance. “Stanley Szozda, the bartender, ducked behind the bar. He made several efforts to reach a revolver, which was resting near the cash register...” The news article continues to describe Szozda’s efforts to retrieve the revolver and confront the robber. By the time, he did the robber had fl ed without the cash. The story appeared in The Evening Public Ledger, a Philadelphia newspaper, on April 15, 1920. I’ve searched my surname many times in an effort to learn more about my father’s ancestors. I’ve used Google and Bing search engines and neither show this reference, which by the way is not my grandfather Stanley Szozda, who was living in Toledo at the time. This story can be found on Chronicling America, a website of 1,800 newspapers and more than seven million pages which have been digitized into a searchable for-mat through a partnership between the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Library of Congress. The years covered to date are from 1836 to 1922. Jenni Salamon, coordinator for the Ohio Digital Newspaper Program at Ohio History Connection, recently visited the

Chronicling America: Another source for family history research

Page Twoby John Szozda

Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont to give a presentation on how to use this re-source. She told The Press afterwards users are either researching their family history, or they are interested in the rough draft of historical events like the Civil War, World War I or, maybe, a presidential election. To give you an idea of the fl avor of the writing you will fi nd in these old news-

papers, here are some of the headlines and teasers for an article that appeared in the Perrysburg Journal on September 30, 1863. The article was about what would later be called the second bloodiest battle of the war — Chickamauga: Seven Hours’ Terrifi c Fighting; A Most Desperate Contest; The Enemy Drives Back at Every Advance; Our Troops Hold Their Ground; Heavy Losses in Killed and Wounded; Unparalleled Bravery of the Union Army; and The Result Regarded as a Substantial Success. The story followed after all those head-lines. It was written as the battle unfolded and shortly thereafter, but was published 11 days later in the weekly Journal. Salamon said newspapers from that era served much the same functions as they do today. They provide readers with the fi rst draft of history and publish merchant ads as well as public notices for births, weddings, divorces and deaths. The newspaper was also a vehicle for fi ction writing. Here’s an excerpt from the September 16, 1837 issue of the Maumee Express entitled The Cheated Bridegroom: “The shameless hussy…to desert the poor young man, after they had long ago pledged their faith to each other, and on the point of death too, as Doctor Kellemoff yesterday informed me, and all for the sake of marrying that wiznied shivering old crab apple, because he is immensely rich, though he is old enough to be her grandfather, and ugly enough to scare the wicked one him-self.” The story appeared next to a verbatim

message from the President of the United States Andrew Jackson to members of congress about the banking industry and trade. The coordinators for Chronicling America have chosen to fi rst digitize or-phan newspapers — those which have fold-ed or do not have the resources to digitize their own works. Hence, you won’t fi nd the Toledo Blade or Columbus Dispatch on the site. You will, however, fi nd the Perrysburg Journal, The Fremont Journal and the Fulton County Tribune. Using the site is somewhat tedious. The type is small and, since the pages scanned are from microfi lmed collections, the qual-ity is what you would expect from a third generation reproduction. However, you can spend a lot of time chasing ancestors on the web using Google, Bing, or Yahoo search engines and still not fi nd the clues to your family’s history. Chronicling America is worth a visit and may save you from the more tedious task of spinning through reels of microfi lmed newspapers at the public li-brary. If you want to embark on the jour-ney, Salamon says learning webinars are available at ohiohistory.org. Search for Genealogy Workshops. Upcoming webinars are entitled: How to research your ances-tor’s occupation; Researching a home’s his-tory and Military History research World War II. Comment by email at [email protected]

The German-American Festival, the Toledo area’s oldest and largest ethnic fes-tival, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2015. The festival, operated by G.A.F. Society and sponsored by the seven German- and Swiss-American Societies in Toledo, runs Aug. 28-30 in Oregon at Oak Shade Grove, 3624 Seaman Rd. “It’s surprising to think that we are already celebrating the 50th German-American Festival,” Tim Pecsenye, festival chair, said. “The community has truly em-braced our festival, and we’ve been thrilled to share our German culture and traditions with our community for such a long time.” The fi rst German-American Festival was held at Toledo’s Raceway Park on Aug. 27 and 28, 1966. It remained there until 1974, when it moved to the Lucas County Recreation Center. In 1987, the festival was moved to its permanent home, Oak Shade Grove. The GAF is a celebration of German and Swiss culture, including traditional foods and pastries, and more than 50 vari-eties of German beers. An opening ceremony parade kicks off the Festival each year. Entertainment in-cludes music by nationally known German bands and a range of ethnic contests – in-cluding the Hummel Look-Alike Contest, a stone-throwing contest and a pretzel-eating competition. Each year, proceeds from the GAF sup-port high school-level foreign language education in the Toledo area and German Language Scholarships to graduating high school seniors. “In the 50 days leading up to the 50th GAF, we are celebrating the festival’s heri-tage, good times and contributions to our community through a variety of activities,” said Pecsenye.

Hayes opening MondaysFor the fi rst time since 2009, the Hayes

Presidential Center will reopen its doors to the public on Mondays, beginning in August. To celebrate its expanded hours, kids 12 years of age and under will receive free admission to the Museum and Home Monday, Aug. 3. There will be a special scavenger hunt in the museum with prizes given to children who complete the hunt. Refreshments will also be served through-out the day. “We’re excited to reopen to the public on Mondays,” said Christie Weininger, ex-ecutive director. “In addition to our regular patrons, this will also help us to accom-modate more school tours; we get booked quickly in the spring and fall.” The Hayes Presidential Center reduced its hours of operation in September 2009 as a cost-saving measure due to a decrease in state funding. A recent increase in state support along with the center’s develop-ment efforts have strengthened revenue streams, Weininger said. She added that with staff returning to full-time work, planning and implement-

German-American Festival celebrating 50th anniversary

ing the Center’s many projects and events will be a bit easier. “While gearing up for our Centennial Celebration next year, it has been diffi cult to get everything done we needed to in a four day week,” she said. The Center is working on buildings and grounds improvements, special programs and a complete redesign of its exhibit gal-leries, all to be completed by May 2016. Later this fall the Center will be launch-ing a new name, logo and website. “We are an organization on the move,” said Weininger. “People will be amazed at the transformation.”

“Relaxation Techniques” Rachel Berry BSN, RN, CDP, Reiki Master will present the program, “Relaxation Techniques & Self-Care” Sunday, Aug. 2, 2-2:45 p.m. in the Hayes Museum located at the corner of Hayes and Buckland, Fremont. Call 800-998-PRES or visit www.rbhayes.org for details.

All proceeds will benefi t the Residents of the Sacred Heart Home of the Little Sisters of the Poor.

At left and at the top of this column, chain saw artist Dennis Beach on the job, and above is some of his fi nished work. (Photos courtesy of Dennis Beach).

Carving his niche at the fairBy Yaneek SmithPress Contributing [email protected]

Over the past the decade, Dennis Beach has become a hit at the Ottawa County Fair. Simply put, Beach, a Pennsylvania native, has gained a following for his exquisite work carving sculptures out of wood with his chainsaw. What would be so difficult for the aver-age person is Beach’s job, and he makes it look easy sculpting animals, mythical figures and benches, all to his customers’ delight as his artistry prevails. But the end result is only part of the appeal — the show itself and watching this artist exercise his talents are truly a joy to observe. His journey into this foray all started in 1983 when Beach was hired by a tree-trim-ming company. It’s funny to think of how that became the start of something special. “When I was young, I was always looking for something to do,” said Beach. “I could never figure out (what to do) and then I found a chainsaw. “When I started, the improvements were very slow because there was no one else to (emulate) — I had to teach myself. I fell in love with the art form. The more I did, the better I got. Every penny helped along the way.” Based in Wapwallopen, Pa., a small town located in the northeastern part of the state about 22 miles from Wilkes-Barre, Beach lives near his parents, two daughters and grandchildren, but is on the road for much of the summer. Currently, Beach participates in three Ohio fairs, the Ottawa County Fair, the Wood County Fair, where he’ll be from August 3-10, and the Meigs County Fair, which is located south of Athens in the southeastern part of the state in Pomeroy, along the Ohio River.

Beach jokes that he has a love-hate relationship with his job, describing in just a few sentences how he can take so much joy out of what he does and yet dealing with the hardships that come from equip-ment breakdowns and bad weather, as well as getting worn down at times. “It’s like a love-hate relationship, that’s for sure. I absolutely love what I do,” he says. “However, there are times when I hate it — I’d rather be digging graves.”

Beach’s talent has taken him to other parts of the world, including Ger-many, which hosted the 2009 World Championship Husky Cup, and Japan. If the folks in Ottawa County have their way, Beach will keep coming back for that one week every summer. “He’s amazing. He does all kinds of stuff. If someone has a request, he’ll try for them,” said Rollin Hetrick, the president of the Ottawa County Fair Board. “He’s a

hell of a good guy. I said to him, ‘How do you come up with these ideas?’ It’s amazing how he’s able to start with a chainsaw and whittle down the wood to the final piece. If he’s not the best, he’s one of the best.” For more information on Dennis Beach’s carvings, check out his Facebook page or call him at 570-204-5824. A short video featuring his work can be found on YouTube at “Dennis Beach World Champion Chainsaw Carver.”

NaturalWandersby Art Weber

Minnesota’s North Shore agreat getaway Minnesota’s North Shore is a really special place. It’s different, too, in ways you might not expect. It’s a land of big cliffs overlooking a big lake with big areas still in natural area. The wild is roamed by big mammals like moose and wilderness predators, wolves. You can canoe or kayak for miles, drive miles of scenic roads that snake along the lake or penetrate the expansive woods and wetlands. You’re missing out if you don’t stop. It’s all punctuated by great restau-rants, comfortable – even luxurious – lodg-ing, many with a wonderfully distinctive Scandinavian fl avor. Uffdah, yerguyzis gonna lovit nord of Dulut, eh? Rough translation: On my gosh, you are going to love it north of Duluth! And you will. The scenery is a remarkable blend of the world’s greatest freshwater lake, a landscape built on the solid foundation of miles-deep ancient lava beds fi nished with a blanket of classic North Woods wilder-ness. Arteries of whitewater rivers have cut courses through that woods and cut into the rock, each tumbling through beautiful cascades and tumbling over waterfalls as it empties into the lake. Not many highways penetrate the re-gion, though one – Highway 61 – connects all the small lakeshore communities as it runs the length of the shore. Even when na-ture throws up a can’t-be-conquered moun-

tain barrier, as it did in two cases, engineers solved the problem by blasting tunnels. Best of all, the North Shore Scenic Drive – aka Hwy 61– connects no less than eight state parks in its 151-mile run from Duluth to the Canadian border at Grand Portage. Add to that a passel of wayside stops blessed with their own beauty that often includes scenic overlooks, and three scenic lighthouses – the historic red light-house at Two Harbors, the commanding cliff-top Split Rock Light, and the harbor sentinel at Grand Marais. First and arguably the best of the lake-shore state parks is Gooseberry Falls, home to a scenic gorge and a number of impres-sive waterfalls, as well as miles of trails, and rocky lakeshore. But don’t skip the other lakeshore state parks; each has some-thing scenic and special to offer.

There’s plenty to do along the Scenic Drive, even more if you include the roads that head inland through Superior National Forest, past small lakes and alder swamps that hold the promise of moose sightings, all the way to the very civilized outpost of Ely, the primary staging area for canoe trips into the Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness. It’s easy to fi nd great accommodations along the scenic drive to use as a base for exploration. Among the best are Superior Shores Resort and Grand Superior Lodge near Two Harbors, and the Lutsen Resort with its historic Scandinavian Lodge further up the coast at Lutsen. All feature fi rst class facilities, great food, and intimate contact with the lakeshore. Wherever you choose to stay, resort or campground, cabin or cottage, be sure to venture outside at night when

skies are clear. With very little light pollu-tion the star viewing is incredible. Spend at night or two in the quaint old Beach House at Grand Superior that’s so close to the lake the waves literally lap at its foundation. With a giant picture win-dow looking over the lake you just might wake up and do a double take when a lake freighter passes close by. There are many other nice accommo-dations as well as other great restaurants and interesting shopping. Gun Flint Tavern in Grand Marais has a wonderfully eclectic menu and a great logo if you want a take home souvenir glass.

“For seven years I’ve been yelled at if I touch a bat, let alone (have) an at-bat,” Bassitt said. “They have the experience and we’re walking in blind. It is what it is. It’s a learning experi-ence for me and go-ing forward, I’ve got to get better at it.”

Genoa High School graduate Chris Bassitt got a tough lesson on the quirks of interleague play last week.

The A’s pitcher, a Curtice native, took a self-described “horrible mindset” into facing Giants ace Madison Bumgarner, and it was costly in Oakland’s 2-1 defeat at AT&T Park.

Bassitt tried to pump a 3-2 fastball by Bumgarner in the third inning and gave up the solo blast that opened the scoring as the A’s (44-55) lost the second straight game in this three-game series.

“It was just an awkward thing where I was like, ‘Don’t walk him, don’t walk him, don’t walk him,’ “ Bassitt said. “I grooved a fastball right down the middle, and obvi-

ously he can hit a little bit.” Bassitt, making just his fourth big

league start of the season and fi rst career start in a National League park, conceded he took a poor approach against Bumgarner. This was the fi rst home run the A’s have al-lowed to an opposing pitcher since 1972, a year before the designated hitter was added to the American League.

“You’ve got to go at him more as a hit-ter and less as a pitcher,” Bassitt said. “It was a just a horrible mindset, and he made me pay.”

The A.L. challenges of interleague play also showed themselves in Bassitt’s two at-bats, his fi rst at any level since he was a high schooler in 2007.

With two on and two outs in the second inning, Bassitt struck out looking against Bumgarner in his fi rst major league at-bat. He batted again with a runner at second

“He pitched well,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said. “They just got one big hit when they needed to and we couldn’t come up with it. ... It was tough to get a good swing on him today. Really the best swing was the ball Bumgarner hit.”

The A’s quickly tied the game after Bumgarner’s home run, with Josh Phegley doubling home Jake Smolinski in the top of the fourth. The Giants went back ahead in the sixth when Joe Panik doubled with two outs and was singled home by Matt Duffy.

Bassitt allowed fi ve hits and two runs over six innings of work. This was his fi rst major league start since July 11, and in his four starts with Oakland, he has a 2.74 ERA over 23 innings. The A’s have delivered only fi ve runs of support with him on the mound in those outings. (Courtesy to The Press from the Oakland Tribune/Bay Area News Group.)

Now, it’s Jon Sandwisch’s turn.The Woodmore graduate will be the

starting quarterback this fall at Heidelberg University in Tiffi n. The senior and former All-Northern Buckeye Conference quar-terback has seen action in 17 games since 2012-13, but was unable to unseat incum-bent Mike Mees the last three years.

“As a senior in high school, it’s tough to come in and unseat a freshman who went 8-2 his freshman year,” Sandwisch said of Mees, who recently graduated with 8,767 career passing yards and 95 touch-downs in his four-year career. “We’ve had some success here lately and I’ve had quite a few reps. I’m the most game ready I can possibly be going into my fi rst start as a col-lege quarterback.”

Heidelberg coach Mike Hallett con-fi rmed that Sandwisch has earned the op-portunity to be the Student Princes’ starter when they open the season Sept. 5 at home against Cortland State.

“Jon has done a great job in preparing as the starter for three years,” Hallett said. “He has patiently waited for this opportu-nity to take the fi eld as a full-time starter. Each of the past two seasons he has gained valuable experience and has really mas-tered our offense and his technique. He is not as well known as our last starter, but I am confi dent in his ability and leadership.”

The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Sandwisch said he’s always been comfortable running Heidelberg’s spread offense, and he’s ready for the challenge this season.

“Just the chance to play football is a blessing from God,” he said. “I’m super ex-cited to be out there with my brothers, the ones I’ve been out there with the past three and a half years. I’m excited to play with them. I’m not nervous. I’ve put in way too much work to be nervous. I’m excited and ready to get after it.”

Jon, 22, is the older brother of Central Catholic linebacker Zach Sandwisch, 17, who has committed to play at West Virginia next season. Zach helped the Irish win the Division III state championship last season, and the brothers are as close as brothers can be. Their parents, Donna and Mark, have never missed one of their sons’ games.

Former Woodmore QB pegged as Heidelberg starter

“I’m extremely grateful to have this opportunity to be a college quarterback,” Jon said. “I’m grateful for everyone who’s helped me along the way. My parents make my brother’s games and they’ve made my games ever since I was a kid growing up. I’m extremely grateful for everyone’s love and support.”

In 17 career games at Heidelberg, Sandwisch has completed 38 of 67 passes

(57 percent) for 556 yards and fi ve touch-downs, with six interceptions. He played in seven games last year and completed 73 percent (22-of-30) of his passes for 244 yards and one touchdown, with two inter-ceptions. He also rushed for 19 yards.

Heidelberg fi nished 8-2 last sea-son, including 7-2 in the Ohio Athletic Conference, but missed the Division III playoffs despite scoring at least 52 points

in three of their last four games, all wins, to end the season.

The Student Princes went 9-2 and made the playoffs in Sandwisch’s freshman year, then went 8-2 the last two seasons. Sandwisch said the players now consider an 8-2 season to be “mediocre,” because the bar has been raised so high.

“We have a lot of talent coming back,” Sandwisch said. “We graduated a lot of talent (receiver Donteea Dye signed a free-agent deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in May, and running back Cartel Brooks was named to the AFCA D-III Coaches’ All-America Team) but we have a lot of talent replacing them. There will be a drop-off in experience, but I’m not worried about that.”

Hallett isn’t worried about his quarter-back, either.

“Jon has a great football mind and he is a studious player when it comes to prepara-tion and fi lm study,” the coach said. “He is very football intelligent, and his leadership skills and vocal nature make him a natural for running our offense in 2015. He is truly like a coach on the fi eld. His arm strength has improved each year, and he has trained very hard to maximize his ability.”

Sandwisch graduated from Woodmore as the school’s career leader in passing yards, pass attempts, completions and touchdown passes. What he did in high school, Sandwisch quickly realized, meant little at Heidelberg.

“Everyone wants to come to college and start right away, but college is a dif-ferent animal,” Sandwisch said. “We have kids from Cleveland, Detroit, Cincinnati, Columbus who are trying to get on the fi eld. There is no doubt in my mind coming to Heidelberg was the right choice. I love my teammates. I’ve worked hard. I like to pride myself in having a good work ethic. My goal is to represent my family and myself well and just play with my extended family on the football fi eld.”

Sandwisch will graduate with a degree in history, and he has already accepted a graduate coaching position at Heidelberg in 2016. He intends to get his masters degree in education.

“I will be an assistant coach at Heidelberg after this season,” Sandwisch said. “It feels good having a plan, knowing what you’re doing.”

Owens Community College women’s soccer is going international, and for-mer players from Clay, Cardinal Stritch, Northwood and Lake are joining them.

Coach Kenny Hewitt has announced the signing of nine players, including six more international student-athletes, to round out his 2015-16 recruiting class.

“I expect this class to challenge those returning from last year and to push each other forward to bigger and better things now that we have a larger squad,” said Hewitt.

A new signee is Sarah Wamer, a left midfielder from Walbridge who attended Stritch. Wamer was a first team All-Toledo Area Athletic Conference and Northwest Ohio High School Soccer League selection at Stritch, and she earned honorable men-tion all-district honors.

Local players having previously signed are right/left back Jenna Kidd (Clay) and center/right midfielder Catie Phalen (Lake). They will join midfielder Dominique Cruz (Northwood), a returning player.

Last year’s squad featured 15 players, and Hewitt expects this year’s team to fi eld at least 21 players.

“I believe this team has a lot more qual-ity than in previous years but they need to work hard together to realize and achieve their goals,” Hewitt said. “They will be ex-pected to come in with a big hunger to prove themselves against the very strong competi-tion we have on our schedule this year.”

The team’s preseason will feature three matches against well-established four-year programs in Siena Heights University, Tiffi n University and the University of Findlay. They will then open the regular season against JUCO powers Monroe Community College and Parkland College at home.

“It’s not going to be easy and there’s no honeymoon period,” Hewitt said of the schedule. “Straight in, and straight to work with this group.”

Hewitt will enter his second year as the head coach of the women’s soccer pro-gram at Owens this fall. Last year, the team fi nished 14-5-2, won the program’s second straight Region XII tournament champion-ship and advanced to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division I National Tournament for the sec-ond straight season.

The team will begin fall practice Aug. 1 and open its regular season Aug. 28 at home against Monroe Community College at 12 p.m.

Other new players, including those coming to Owens from across the ocean, are —

Sophie Hollis, LM/RM, Tomlinscote/Surrey, England, who was the captain of the Tomlinscote Under 18 Academy and a County Cup Finalist the past two years.

nspirational essage of the eek: Puttering & Other Ways to Savor Life

During my childhood, my father would often preface

his trips to the garage with the announcement that he

was going downstairs to “putter,” often saying that he

was “just going to putter around” in the garage. What

he usually ended up doing for the next few hours was

fixing broken toys, lamps or other appliances, or

working on the cars. I distinctly remember looking up

the word “putter” after hearing my father use the term,

trust me, he “puttered” a lot, and chuckling when I read

the definition: to occupy oneself with minor or

unimportant tasks. But even then I knew that what my

father was doing wasn’t minor or unimportant. Seeing

him fix broken stuff around the house was an

important lesson on the value of resourcefulness,

frugality, and helping others. Some of my most

productive days now are those lazy Saturdays when I

putter around the house, doing some housework

perhaps between writing these short pieces, and then

maybe going for a walk. We never know what we

might find or how we might get inspired when we

putter. You don't always need a prioritized list in order

to get stuff done or to savor life in all its glory.

Sometimes you just need to take the time to putter.

“Praise the Lord , my soul; all my inmost being, praise

his holy name.” Psalm103:1

Woodville’s Daniel Roepke Jr. hasn’t raced a whole lot this year, but he looked in midseason form in the Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks.

He used a lapped truck to hold back leader Brian Arnold and drove around on the last lap for his ninth career Attica win.

“Most of the time you just have to be patient and see what happens at the end. This time it worked out for us. I was behind Matt (Foos, early race leader) and saw lots of smoke coming and I was waiting for that to let go. And then I saw that lapped truck down there and new he would get caught up with Arnold so I went to the outside and it worked out,” said Roepke.

In a non-stop 15 lap dirt truck feature, Dana Fry and Brandon Leighton brought the fi eld to green. Leighton would grab the slim lead over Matt Foos, Frey, Brian Arnold and Roepke. The top fi ve would put on a whale of a show with Foos taking the lead by a bumper on lap four.

With six laps in the running order was Foos, Leighton, a closing Arnold, Roepke, Frey and Eric Devanna. Arnold would take second on lap seven and immediately closed on Foos.

By lap 9 it was a three truck battle in-volving Foos, Arnold and Roepke. That bat-tle would continue until Foos’ motor went up in fl ames with three laps to go and he ducked into the pits. Now the leader was Arnold over Roepke, Leighton, Frey and Devanna.

After taking the white fl ag, Arnold, who was on the bottom of the track, would run up on a lapped truck and Roepke used

Woodville’s Dan Roepke Jr. tames trucks one more time

the opportunity pounce and drove to the outside to take the lead.

Roepke would edge Arnold for the win with Leighton, Frey and Devanna rounding out the top fi ve.

Wooster, Ohio’s “Hammer Down” Doug Drown was going to quit racing a year ago. He was struggling and wasn’t having fun. Then a phone call from Leroy Hall to drive his late model along with the regular driver Charlie Duncan agreeing to step aside, turned his ca-reer around. He led all 25 laps to record his fi fth win of the season in the Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Models at Attica.

“The car has been awesome. I can’t complain. The guys are doing a great job. I was a little nervous…everyone thinks it’s easy but it’s not. We’re still guessing like everybody else. I just picked the center of the race track because it was the brownest since the sprints were either below it or above it,” said Drown beside his Hall’s Auto Sales, Malcuit Racing Engines, Nationwide Vehicle Protection backed No. 240.

“This is the best season of my career. It’s crazy to think I was going to quit. Leroy Hall and Charlie Duncan gave me this op-portunity and it’s defi nitely more fun. I know winning is fun but this is a great group too. I have the right people around

me and when you have good people around you good things happen,” added Drown.

In the 25-lap late model feature, ac-tion ground to a half on lap fi ve when John Bores fl ipped over the banking in turn one. He was not injured.

When the green fl ew Drown pulled away again with Markham, Josh Haynes, Matt Irey, Mike Bores, a closing Rocky Owens, Chris Keller, Devin Shiels and Larry Kingseed in tow. Irey would take third on lap nine just before the caution fl ew for a Mike Bores spin.

When the green would reappear Drown could not shake Markham and Irey as Owens moved into fourth. Once Drown got his momentum back he would pull away as Markham now had his hands full with Irey and Owens while Haynes battled with Shiels and Keller.

The fi nal caution would fl y on lap 17 for a Nate Potts spin with the restart order Drown, Markham, Irey, Owens, Haynes, Keller, Shiels and a closing Rusty Schlenk. Irey would grab second on lap 18 and started to close on Drown. Markham would rally to challenge Irey with three laps to go.

Drown would drive the middle of the track to perfection to take the win over Irey, Markham, Owens and Keller.

The Woodville 4th of July Committee would like to thank the sponsors, volunteers, and all who attended this year’s celebration. Mother Nature once again tried to pull a fast one by dumping 6.5” of rain that ooded the entire celebration area, but the committee stated the show must go on, implemented a Plan B, scaled the events down a bit, and moved to higher ground. The entire community pulled together to make this event happen. Woodville really is a great little community!

More celebration news and contest results from the 2015 celebration can be found on our website woodville.net/fourth or visit us on Facebook & Twitter. Next year’s celebration will be held June 30, July 1, and July 2, 2016!

The Rossford Community Recreation Center is co-hosting the Warrior Run 5K Run and Walk with Rossford Bass Pro Shops. All proceeds will benefi t the Wounded Warrior Project. The race will begin at 9 a.m. on August 23 and will start and fi nish at Bass Pro Shops while running throughout the Crossroads Area. “This event gives us an opportunity to help a great cause while partnering with a business that has been great for the Rossford Community, and drawing people from all over the region together for some-thing that should be a very fun event for all in attendance,” said Rossford Parks and Recreation Director Ivan Kovacevic. Bass Pro Shops Special Events Coordinator Samantha Durivage added, “Once Ivan was approached by Leon (a Wounded Warrior), we were inspired to get involved. There are ways for all to get involved and help support the cause. We know that not everyone is a runner so vol-unteers, supporters, and sponsors are en-

Bass Pro event to benefi t Wounded Warrior Projectcouraged to get involved.” Leon Forystek, Ohio Army National Guard captain, tells his story, “When I re-turned home from Afghanistan back in 2013, I was nervous to return back to civil-ian life. I didn’t know what to do, how to function, or what the fi rst step was to actu-ally being normal. If you had seen me walk-ing down the street, you may never have guessed that I suffer the silent wound. “The wound that still haunts our veter-ans today; a wound that has led hundreds of veterans to commit suicide. I suffer from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), and I am a Wounded Warrior. Thousands of vet-erans return home and somewhat feel the same way I do. “When people hear of wounded war-riors, they think that it’s the veteran in the wheelchair or the old man with the cane coming out of the VA center,” Capt. Forystek continued. “So I came up with an idea about spreading the word to others and educat-ing them in what a wounded warrior is all about. So I expressed my ideas to both The Bass Pro Shop and Rossford Rec Center and we came up with the up and coming Warrior Run (and walk) 5K,” added Capt.

Forystek. The captain continued, “I want people to know that it goes beyond a veteran in a wheelchair or the old man with a cane. Our Wounded Warriors come from all over the world. “They can be male or female; young or old; short or tall; vegetarian or meat eater. The injuries are one or a combination of many types of wounds, some invisible or others that stand out. “Wounded veterans can range from being burn victims, single/double/triple/quadruple amputee, suffer from PTSD, anxiety, depression, gun/knife wounds, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and so on. Every injury is different and not one is the same, which is why I want to share my story and get the word out to educate others. “In the long run, that word could po-tentially help a veteran in need of a friend, a hug, trip to the VA, someone to just lis-ten to, or provide a place to stay. Every in-jury is different, but the Wounded Warrior Project sees every veteran as one, Warriors. Hopefully it is something we can build on year after year well into the future.” Kovacevic also mentioned that this

event is the culmination of an exciting week in the City of Rossford that also in-cludes the Annual Rossford Riverfest on Saturday August 22 at Veteran’s Memorial Park. The Rossford Parks and Recreation Department will again be using the help of the Toledo Roadrunners organization in promoting the race to its members. The Rossford Recreation Rudolph Run held each December in the downtown streets of Rossford draws about 200 participants to their event. The Warrior Run 5K Run and Walk is open to all ages. Anyone who preregisters for $20 is guaranteed a t-shirt if their regis-tration is postmarked by August 15. Members of the military, active, re-tired, or veterans will receive a $3 dis-count. Purple Heart recipients will run free. If you miss the pre-register date, forms can still be turned in or fi lled out on race day for $25.
