Two Oregon businesses were honored with Prism Awards because of their spirit of giving. H&M Open Arms Massage Studio was announced as the Small Business of the Year, in part for its role in local fundraisers, and Food for Thought is the Non-Profi t of the Year at the 21st Annual Prism Award Ceremony March 27 at Sunrise Park and Banquet Center in Millbury. Food for Thought began in May 2007 and has seen the number of families served increase each year as its reach into the sur-rounding community expanded as well.

The non-profi t, which has four em-ployees, now has 18 food pantries in three counties and serves approximately 1,400 families a month. It also maintains a free lunch program for Toledo’s central city each Saturday morning, where they take 350 lunches for a community picnic.

“Food for Thought was founded in Oregon by people in this community with a passion for this community,” said nomi-nator Sam Melden. “We never decided to locate here, but we have decided to stay here because of the incredible community support. Everyone from churches to small businesses to schools to other non-profi ts have been so supportive of our mission.

“Our bottom line is measured not only in dollars and cents but also in vol-unteer hours and in-kind donations. While our fi nancial support comes from all over Northwest Ohio, our day-in and day-out volunteer support comes primarily from people in this community. Because this area has such a small town feel and is full

Two businesses honored for spirit of giving

of so many qualifi ed and capable people we have found it to be a great place to be.”

Food for Thought relies heavily on partnerships, from the Farmers Market downtown to a small church down the street. FFT partners with 17 different loca-tions all over the region on a monthly ba-sis, allowing for different groups to volun-teer with the FFT staff.

“Food for Thought aims to feed our community in a thoughtful way,” Melden

stated. “We don’t simply hope to feed people. We hope to treat people differently who are experiencing food insecurity. We know that dignity and respect are a great pairing with our supplemental groceries we bring to our patrons each month.

Melden says one of the way FFT does this is through its Choice Food Pantry mod-el, which allows patrons to shop for food their family needs rather than simply ac-cepting food that is pre-packaged.

FFT also remains involved in an in-creasing number of communities through its Mobile Food Pantry. This is Food for Thought’s second Prism Award

H&M Open Arms Massage H&M Open Arms Massage Studio own-er Ashley J. Hirzel joined up with another newly licensed therapist, Stacey L. Miller, and together they joined forces and created a small studio space on Navarre in July of 2011. It was at this point where H&M Open Arms Massage Studio made its true debut. H&M then welcomed Kim Houser, mas-sage therapist and esthetician. In order to create a wide variety of new services other than just massage therapy, such as facials, scrubs, wraps and waxing, H&M welcomed Jessica Chernota, Jane Gartee, and Kaitlin Tucker to their staff. In July 2012 exactly one year after their grand opening Ashley received the keys to their current and much more spacious loca-tion on Ansonia Street. The business now has seven employees.

Despite a recent holdup in the permit process, Oregon Clean Energy LLC expects to break ground on its $800 million energy generation facility by late spring or early summer. Oregon Mayor Mike Seferian and Administrator Mike Beazley recently met with Oregon Clean Energy offi cials to get an

Municipal power plant may be in Oregon’s future update on the project, which calls for the construction of a facility that will convert clean natural gas to electricity. “They were supposed to break ground in April, but they were slowed down by the permit process,” said Seferian on Wednesday. “They needed a permit to put their power into the grid at the Bayshore power plant so they would be able to sell it, but it was held up a bit by First Energy,” said Seferian. By last week, there were signs the proj-ect was again moving forward, he added. “The permit should sail through, and things can take off now. The permit process should be streamlined, and we should see a formal groundbreaking ceremony shortly. We should know the status of when they expect to get the permit by the beginning of this week. It may now be more like June when we see the groundbreaking,” he said. The facility, which will be built on a 30 acre parcel of land at 816 N. Lallendorf Road, located within an enterprise zone, will provide enough new electricity for 500,000 homes. “In all likelihood, we’ll be working with them in the future to see if we can make them a municipal power company…

and they can give us a better rate for the power,” said Seferian. “They could become the predominant power producer locally for the city and maybe the area. At the very least, they could bargain with some of our industrial users to supply them power di-rectly without them having to go through the grid and paying transportation fees and maintenance agreements with First Energy. This could be real competition to First Energy.” William Martin and Bill Siderewicz, managing partners of Oregon Clean Energy LLC, said last year they had been coming to Oregon for three years to discuss the proj-ect. Plans call for the plant to begin opera-tions in 2017. “Everything looks good for the project to continue,” said Seferian. Company offi cials have been review-ing proposals from construction and engi-neering fi rms to build the project, and will likely make a selection this month, accord-ing to Beazley. Oregon Clean Energy’s timeline has been on target since the company an-nounced plans in September 2012 to con-struct the plant. The project has received enthusiastic support from the community.

Last year, council approved an enter-prise zone agreement with company offi -cials for a tax exemption of 100 percent for 15 years on the increase in assessed value of real and tangible property. The Enterprise Zone Act allows com-munities to execute agreements for the pur-pose of establishing, expanding, renovating or occupying facilities and hiring new em-ployees and/or preserving jobs within the zone in exchange for tax incentives. The project is expected to create about 450 construction jobs over three years, and 26 new full-time, permanent jobs once the facility begins operations, with a total an-nual payroll of about $3.2 million. The city approved an agreement with Clean Energy for the plant’s use of the raw water intake system that will generate about $1 million per year, which will help keep the water and sewer rates low. The Oregon school board also ap-proved a tax incentive donation agreement with Clean Energy, which will annually contribute funds to the district for 15 years. At the end of the agreement, the district will have received payments totaling $17.5 million.

Two businesses honored for spirit of giving

“Every therapist that works in the stu-dio reaches out with healing to every cli-ent that enters,” Hirzel wrote in her Prism Award nomination. “More and more of our clients have joined the family of returning regular clients. We educate our clients on the benefi ts and not only do they retain the knowledge we share with them but they feel the benefi ts in their everyday life as they continue to receive massage. “We have teamed up with a local small business networking group called Inspire. This group has only made our family grow. By working with local small businesses such as Oregon Hearing, Dr. Robin Swaim of Gentle Chiropractic, and many others; we are really able to enhance our view of what is going on throughout the commu-nity which in turn helps our business plan evolve into what it has become.” Reaching out to the community has al-ways been one of H&M Open Arms Massage Studio’s No. 1 priorities. H&M has paid at-tention to the children of Oregon through the Clay High School Athletics Booster

Association and Clay High School hockey team with donations to their programs. H&M frequently provides free chair massages for local companies and chari-ties trying to raise funds. One in particular, which H&M has had the benefi t of working with over the last two years, is ProMedica Bay Park Hospital. At Bay Park, H&M pro-vided free chair massages to the Women’s Auxiliary for their Women’s Wellness Day. Massage for a cure (chair massage) was also a big event at their grand re-opening in August as H&M raised over $500 for ProMedica’s Light the Night Fundraiser for Leukemia and Lymphoma. H&M also reached out to a local family when their son tragically passed away in a fi re. H&M raised around $300 for the family to help get through the holidays. Looking back on the tragic fi re of Vail Meadows Equestrian Center, H&M was able to raise approximately $200 for their fund-raiser to help them rebuild. In another notable cause, H&M also provides massages to local veterans through a program called “Hands for Heroes,” a foundation helping veterans who are over-

coming PTSD or many of the other ailments that many veterans may be suffering from. Thirteen businesses and organiza-tions were honored, including the Toledo Metropolitan Council of Governments, which received a General Excellence Award at the Prism ceremony. Others nominated were Northwood Jewelers, Motor Carrier Service and Miracle League of NW Ohio, all of Northwood; Croghan Colonial Bank, S & D Capital, and C & W Tank Cleaning Co., all of Oregon; and Martin and Martin Insurance Agency, The LaBuhn Center, and Sofi a Quintero Art and Cultural Center, all of Toledo. The event is sponsored by the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce and honors excellence in this area’s businesses and organizations. Paul Toth, president of the Toledo/Lucas County Port Authority was the keynote speaker and retired lo-cal news broadcaster Chrys Peterson was emcee. The Prism Award trophies were designed by artist Shawn Messenger of Messenger Fine Art Glass.

Prism awards:Industrial start-up,jewelery store winBy J. Patrick EakenPress Staff [email protected]

Industrial Developers LTD was official-ly launched in June 2013, but it already has been recognized by the local community as a business award winner. Located at 6705 Wales Road, Northwood, it has seven employees and its website is still under construction, but it won Newcomer of the Year at the 21st Annual Prism Awards on March 27 at Sunrise Park and Banquet Center in Millbury. It is one of two Northwood businesses to take home awards. The other, Northwood Jewelers, is taking home an award for lon-gevity by winning the Silver Award. The fi ve-member IDL partnership is comprised of Ed Harmon, president of Harmon Family Development, Dallas Paul, Realtor, Lee Dunn, retired banker, Steve Harmon, Spartan Logistics President, and Jim Howell, Logan Creek Construction President. IDL Commercial Real Estate Division is headed by Dallas Paul and Stephanie Kuhlman. Currently, IDL has over 500,000 square feet of space listed for sale or lease. They are in the process of developing 50 acres and also are providing national repre-sentation to several Fortune 500 companies. Harmon Family Development owns fi ve million square feet of commercial and industrial properties in 17 states, including one million square feet in Northwest Ohio. IDL announced it will build a new 60,000 square foot “spec” warehouse on Spartan Drive in Oregon, and is also planning to build the fi rst 100,000 square foot ware-house at the former Willys-Overland (Jeep) factory site in West Toledo. Northwood Jewelers After working for a local major jewelry store for 30 years, Richard Majewski de-cided to venture into the retail jewelry in-dustry. He had driven by Northwood Plaza for years and noticed the front store location was for rent. A local jewelry supplier gave him an open line of credit. Since 1983, Northwood Jewelers has changed our statistics of doing 85 percent of its business in repairs to 85 percent in retail sales. That has compelled them to stay in Northwood for 25 years, even though other businesses have come and gone. Today, the business has eight em-ployees. Tara Taylor says the business remains involved in the community. “Northwood Jewelers gives back to the community as often as we can. For many years we have supported the local food pan-tries both monetary and food drives, by col-lecting can goods or toiletries. “In 2010 we volunteered many hours helping out with the Tornado Relief Fund Raiser and donated items to raffl e off at every fundraiser for the Tornado Relief we were asked to.

“Sarah Raymond, a senior at Northwood High School, is not a leader of tomorrow. She is a leader today at just 18-years-old,” states Anny Toney of Leadership Toledo. Raymond was chosen the Young Person of the Year at the 21st Annual Prism Awards on March 27 at Sunrise Park and Banquet Center in Millbury. She was joined by First Federal Bank Vice President and Branch Manager David Hymore, the Person of the Year. Both received standing ova-tions after being introduced to 165 guests at the Prism Award ceremony. In 2011, Raymond was chosen to rep-resent NHS in Youth Leadership Toledo, a program focused on developing young leaders. “From the beginning, Sarah had a ‘go get em’ attitude on everything that we did,” Toney said. “Rarely was there a time she would say no when approached with a challenge.” It was Toney who nominated Raymond. After her sophomore year, Raymond joined Youth in Philanthropy Encouraging Excellence, where Toney said “she was crucial in the group’s ability to raise over $20,000 to give back to youth serving orga-nizations.” In the second half of the year, Raymond was nominated to be vice president of the group. Just two weeks ago, Raymond orga-nized a spaghetti dinner which brought in over $400. She has been chosen to serve as one of four of Leadership Toledo’s youth board members. In 2013, she received the Presidential Service Award for over 200 hours of community service. “The number of leadership seminars that Sarah has attended is amazing,” Toney stated. In 2012, Raymond went to the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership Conference in Ada, Ohio. She was nominated by her school for the conference, which is for high school sophomores across the state. One year later, she went to the World Leadership Congress in Chicago and this past November, she attended the Advanced Leadership Academy, yet another national leadership program. “Leadership Toledo is where we know Sarah best, but there is so much more that she has been involved in,” Toney contin-ued. For three years, Raymond has been a member of Northwood’s student council, where she has helped organized school wide events. For three years, she has been part of Key Club, at times president, and she helped set up Tent City, an organization focused on helping the homeless. She also helped with organizing blood drives, leaf rakings, food drives and she served at lo-cal soup kitchens. Last year, Raymond was

Hymore Person of Year

Northwood senior Raymond already a leader

a junior coach for Girls on the Run, a pro-gram dedicated to helping young girls with self-image and inner beauty. “As you can see, Sarah keeps busy, and there is much more I could list,” Toney wrote. “Most importantly though, she does all of this community service and commu-nity building because she believes in it. “Her enthusiasm is contagious and every time I see her, I cannot help but to smile. This girl has volunteered and dedi-cated more of her time by the age of 18 than some will do in a lifetime. She is defi nitely a young leader that we should all look up to.”

Person of Year Hymore, a lifelong Oregonian, was nominated by Craig A. Curtis, one of First Federal’s commercial lenders. Hymore has been in either the banking fi eld or in the private industry accounting fi eld his entire life. He joined First Federal Bank in the fall of 2005 when he was named the Community Banking Manager of FFB’s Oregon Branch. “Dave continues to work to improve Oregon,” Curtis states. “First Federal Bank has grown substantially under his leader-ship, both in deposits but also in all types of lending. I know that Dave is considered by many in the community as a ‘counselor’ who a person can go to and discuss a prob-lem or situation — whether it is fi nancial or

not. His offi ce is always open for this role. “My role with Dave began in late 2005. Over the past eight years plus, we have ac-tually been ‘co-lenders’ with most of our customers, as we truly work as a team to help a customer or prospect with fi nancing and banking needs. Dave rarely will take any credit for all of the bank’s success in the Oregon- Curtice-Northwood and now Genoa areas, but he has been the driving force and the leader for the past eight years in our success and our customers’ success.” Hymore is a long-time member and former membership chair of the Oregonian Club. He is also active in the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce and is a board member of the Oregon Economic Development Foundation. “He gives countless hours to these organizations as well as other local chari-ties,” Curtis stated. “Dave also has been a little league coach for several sports in the area; fi rst when he was in his late 20’s and early 30’s with little league football; and later helping when his two daughters start-ed playing sports.” Hymore graduated from Cardinal Stritch High School, where he was quarter-back of the school’s football team. He went on to the University of Toledo, graduating with a business degree in the early 1980s. Hymore continues to live on Antonio Street with his wife Darcy and daughters Olivia and Hanna.

Just last month, Woodmore sixth grader Phoebe Jackson accomplished an impressive feat by winning the Northwest Ohio Championship Spelling Bee. Jackson won the event, which featured 52 competitors and took place at Owens Community College’s Fine & Performing Arts Center, after two hours of competition by correctly spelling the world “convul-sion.” The runner-up was Oak Harbor resi-dent Katelyn Farmer, who received a spell-ing bee plaque for her efforts. As a result, Jackson will compete next month in the Scripps’ National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. on May 25-31. Her victory earned her an all-expenses-paid trip to the nation’s capital. Jackson also re-ceived a Merriam-Webster’s Third New In-ternational Dictionary, a plaque and a $100 savings bond. Some of the other words Jackson cor-rectly spelled were gregarious, nabob, al-batross, mercerize, misogynist, sauerbraten and zeitgeber. But Jackson didn’t go straight to the Northwest Ohio Championships. She had to win two other spelling bees to make it this far, taking fi rst at her school’s spelling bee before fi nishing second at the Ottawa County Spelling Bee. All this after fi nishing in the top 15 at last year’s regional spelling competition, something Jackson used as motivation to win it this time around. According to her parents, she seems to take it all in stride. “She was actually pretty calm about it and she’s been in quite a few plays, so she doesn’t get very nervous,” said her father, Kevin. “And she’s reading pretty often. She does a lot of reading and she’s probably more well-read than myself and my wife. My wife says I’m not supposed to tell you that.” Organizers say spelling bees are about more learning than how to spell diffi cult words. They help students to improve and increase their vocabulary while developing

National Spelling BeeWoodmore sixth grade student set to compete

a better understanding of the English lan-guage. Success in major spelling bee competi-tion is usually a precursor for success later in life, they add. According to Slate.com, the last six National Spelling Bee winners attended the following universities: Har-vard, Cornell, MIT, Yale, Tufts, and Duke. “We’re very proud of her,” her mother, Krista, said. “She worked very hard for it and stuck to it for a long time — that’s hard for a kid to do. That’s something you can only do if you really want to. Phoebe is like any other kid. She plays soccer and likes to participate in musicals and started playing the saxophone in the band and singing in the choir. “It shows that she has some real study skills and some perseverance. It takes a lot. All those words, I’m sure it will come in handy during SAT and ACT time when she’s older. She has a whole different breath of vocabulary. She’s a well-read kid.” Jackson, 12, who has a brother and a sister, isn’t content with just having made it

this far. She is intending to make her mark when she heads to Washington. “She said she’s going to study for it,” Krista said. “She’s looking at different ways of studying for the test. We’ll be working on the words. She’s using the list and we’ll get another list. I think she wants to get as far as she can.” What made her accomplishment that much more impressive was the fact that she took part in a group competition earlier in the day at Pike-Delta-York High School. The Destination Imagination problem-solv-ing competition, which Jackson took part in with some of her fellow classmates, fea-tures teams taking part in standards-based challenges that focus on aspects like tech-nical, scientifi c and fi ne arts, to name a few. Oddly enough, Jackson and her teammates fi nished fi rst and will be heading to the state competition. The DI competition was held at 8:30 a.m. before Jackson’s father drove Phoebe to Owens’ campus for the spelling bee.

“

“She worked very hard for it and stuck to it for a

long time — that’s hard for a kid to do.

nspirational essage of the eek: Take an Interest in Others

Since most people would rather talk about

themselves, than listen to others, many conversations

tend to be rather self-centered, with each party to the

conversation trying to outdo the others in their attempt

to convince everyone how grand they are. However, if

we really want to be the "star" of the conversation, we

should stop thinking about what we will say next and

really listen to the people we are talking to. And, when

there is a lull in the conversation, instead of jumping

right in with our own story, we can talk about the other

person or ask them questions about what they may

have just told us. This is more than just good advice

about how to keep a conversation going; it is a good

interpersonal skill, and one way in which we can

display a genuine interest in others. We all know how

flattering it can be when someone takes an interest in

us, so we should return the favor and show an interest

in others. So whatever you wish that men would do to

you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

Oregon is looking at partnering with one of the hospitals in Oregon to provide services to seniors. Currently, the James “Wes” Hancock Senior Center on Bay Shore Road provides programs for seniors, though the facility, a former city pumping station, lacks space. The city last year considered contributing about $1 million to expand the building, but after voters passed a 0.5 mill senior levy last November, Mayor Mike Seferian started looking at other sites to provide ser-vices. Seferian and Administrator Mike Beazley have met with offi cials from Bay Park Pro Medica Hospital and Mercy St. Charles Hospital to discuss the possibility of a joint effort to provide senior programs. “We’re entertaining the idea of a part-nership,” said Seferian. “We’re talking to them to see if there’s interest to build a se-nior center on their sites, and working with us and the YMCA to help run it. What we would really like to see is if one of those hospitals would build it in one of their new construction projects and add a facility for a senior center.” The city would contribute about $2 million towards construction, he said. “The hospital would maintain the building. The Area Offi ce on Aging of Northwestern Ohio, Inc., (AOoA) would help the YMCA run it. People in the Y have been running programs like this for 100 years and they understand the magnitude of running a program and how big it can grow.” The hospitals would also benefi t be-cause seniors would more likely use medi-cal services in their facilities for health care. “The hospitals can be a showcase for seniors’ health care needs,” he said. So far, Bay Park has shown the most interest, he said “Pro Medica was looking to build a wellness center on their campus out to-wards Wheeling Street at the end of their property. We thought if they were going to build a facility there, how much more would it be to build a 6,000 square foot ad-

Senior Center?City of Oregon, hospitals talk

dition to facilitate a community room for a senior center. They’d already have a lot of things on the site – restrooms, parking. They’d just have to add onto an existing building. We could contribute funds for the capital part of it,” said Seferian. “We’re looking at the likelihood we could accomplish something like this.In the meantime, we’re not going to make any commitments until we see if this is possible. This could be our way to the fu-ture with a senior facility. If we can strike up an arrangement like that, we’ll be able to offer more successful programs than if we tried to pull it off by building an addition to the existing center and try to expand that facility,” he said. The city decided to put together a committee to determine how the levy funds will be spent after it was learned last November that offi cials from the James “Wes” Hancock Senior Center had rejected the possibility of getting $250,000 from the AOoA to expand operations and had opted instead to get the center’s own levy on the ballot. Some voters as well as some on city council felt they were misled by an Oregon senior levy campaign that inaccurately stat-ed the senior center’s budget had been cut by the city and the AOoA last year when in fact it had not. The city had considered not collecting revenue from the fi ve year levy, but elec-tion results had already been certifi ed by the county, so revenue must be collected for the fi rst year. The city could decide not to collect in succeeding years. Seferian said it was still a possibility if the city cannot put together an effi cient plan to provide se-nior services with levy revenue, estimated to be over $200,000 annually. “If you are going to create programs, make the programs work,” he said. The city would not renew the levy in fi ve years if it can pull together the propos-al to get one of the hospitals, the YMCA, and the AOoA involved in providing senior services, he said. “After the fi ve years are up, we wouldn’t need to renew the levy because we would have the bases covered then. I think the public would accept that as a good use of the funds if we could work that all out,” he said.

Lake Township fi re and police de-partment personnel Tuesday showed their support for fi re chief Bruce Moritz - nearly fi lling all the seats in the meeting room of the township trustees and giving the chief a standing ovation after he responded to anonymous criticism of his management of the fi re department. During the trustees’ March 18 meeting, Randy Saint John, of East Freedom Drive, told the trustees eight fi refi ghters conveyed their concerns to him via email. Saint John said he was speaking as a resident and tax-payer worried about his family’s safety. The fi refi ghters, he said, feared repercussions if they took their concerns to command offi -cers. Moritz was attending a meeting of the Ohio Fire Chief’s Association and wasn’t present when Saint John read the allega-tions. Moritz conceded Tuesday to being “loud” during a recent departmental meet-ing but denied screaming at fi refi ghters in the room – an allegation raised in the email read by Saint John. “I’m passionate about fi re service,” Moritz said, adding he expected the dis-cussion during the meeting to “stay in the room.” He said a “loud minority” in the de-partment “seems to like to stir the pot.” Moritz also addressed a remark alleg-edly made by Genoa mayor Mark Williams at a recent fundraiser event sponsored by a Genoa booster group at the Millbury Fire Hall. The mayor allegedly told a township fi refi ghter that Moritz “was your problem now.” Moritz read a letter from Williams in which the mayor denied making the com-ment and even being at the fundraiser. Moritz was the chief of the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District, which covers the Village of Genoa, before being hired by Lake Township last year. “We have great people in the depart-ment and I want to make it a great depart-ment,” Moritz said. He asked the fi refi ghters at the trustees meeting if he had their support and they re-sponded with a resounding, “Yes sir.” Issues facing the Lake Township de-partment are similar to those facing vol-unteer fi re departments across the country, he said. Personnel often have jobs outside the community and have to balance their family responsibilities and other demands on their time with the duties of the depart-ment. It’s becoming harder, he said, “getting volunteers and having people available.” Still, he had three or four applications on his desk that looked promising, he added. After the trustees’ meeting, many of the fi re and police personnel fi led by Moritz and shook his hand. Mike Hornyak, deputy fi re chief, re-searched an allegation by Saint John that Lake fi refi ghters arrived at a garage fi re in the Freedom Estates subdivision after a crew of the Northwood Fire Department ar-rived under a mutual assistance agreement. Hornyak said departmental records indi-cate the call came in at 3:52 a.m. and the fi rst Lake Township crew arrived at 3:59 a.m. The Northwood department arrived at 4:06 a.m. The blaze occurred on Nov. 24, 2012 and Moritz was the Allen-Clay chief at the time. Hornyak and Moritz said the depart-ment members at the trustees’ meeting were there by their own choice and Hornyak es-timated more than half of the department was present. Police chief Mark Hummer said the 16 or so members of his department were also there by choice. Hummer, who is also the township ad-ministrator, and the trustees repeated their support for Moritz. Hummer said he was touched that the fi refi ghters were there to support Moritz and praised the offi cers in his own depart-ment for also attending. “My guys, unbeknownst to me, are here today. And I’m very touched,” he said. Police Sergeant Jim Goodenough said he and his peers “came as one.” Resident Arlyn Brinker said he was ashamed more residents weren’t present to voice their support. “When we’re sleeping they’re out there,” he said of the fi rst responders.

Lake Twp. Chief responds to criticisms


After 10 years of saving, planning and raising funds, the Sandusky County Park District is ready to break ground for a na-ture center building at Creek Bend Farm Park in the Village of Lindsey. A groundbreaking ceremony for the center is scheduled for April 16 at 10 a.m. at the park. The district’s board of commissioners unanimously voted Wednesday to contract with Mosser Construction, Fremont, to build the 4,000-square-foot, 2-story facility that will cost about $1.52 million. Construction is expected to be com-pleted by early October, said Jeanne Dieterich, a district spokesperson. The building will contain a classroom and the park district consulted with admin-istrators of area school systems to ensure the room design is compatible with the sci-ence curricula of the schools, Steve Gruner, director of the park district, said. The center will also house a library, window on wildlife room, open and cov-ered decks, an exhibit area, offi ce and rest-rooms. Gruner said the district will be able to display more than 100 taxidermy speci-mens at the center and offer nature pro-grams for clubs and organizations. The cen-ter will also provide a base for the district’s volunteer programs. Nearly 10 years ago the district em-barked on a two-pronged effort to fund the project. The park board began setting aside funds from rental fees, donations, and revenue from wetland mitigation projects until it had reached its goal of earmarking $750,000 for the building. A public fundraising campaign then began and last August the district an-nounced that a Clyde, O. couple, Joe and Sharon Wilson, were donating $100,000 to-ward construction costs. By the end of 2013, the district had re-ceived about $421,000 in public donations and pledges, including the Wilson dona-tion – one of the largest cash donations in the 40-year history of the park system, Gruner said. Other notable donations:• Hal Hawk, president of Crown Battery Manufacturing Co., and his wife, Diane, are donating $50,000 for the classroom.• The Knight-Baldwin Charitable Fund is donating $50,000.• Glenn Maddy, a former county extension agent, pledged $25,000 for a children’s ac-tivity area.• Community Health System pledged $10,000 for a nature trail.• Tom Kern, president of Stylecrest Products, is donating $50,000 for the win-dow on wildlife.• Kate Doust, of Fremont, is donating $25,000 to sponsor the meeting room.• Luckey Farmers is donating $20,000 for the main fl oor display area.• Ag-Credit, Fremont Pickle Growers Association, Daryl and Cate Knipp Farms, Mauch Farms, Seibert Seed Service, William and Evelyn Warner Farms, and the Sandusky County Farm Bureau are jointly donating $30,000 for the display area. More contributions are expected, Gruner said last week. Creek Bend Farm Park covers about 310 acres and the nature center will sit close to Muddy Creek. Gruner said the district is also restor-ing two barns at the site this spring.

There are, says Bill Myers, many farm-ers in Northwest Ohio utilizing progres-sive measures to reduce run-off and other side-effects of agriculture that harm surface water. “We’re not all old school,” he said. “There is a segment out there already trying different practices on their own to help the situation with the environment.” In his presentation at the 9th annual Lake Erie Conference last month, Myers, whose family farms about 2,000 acres in Oregon, said the intense scrutiny by some researchers on no-till planting and its links to algae blooms in Lake Erie may be mis-placed. “No-till does a better job holding back

run-off than conventional tillage,” Myers said of the practice of planting crops with-out plowing by inserting seeds into small holes through the stubble of a previous crop, “The problem with some of the stud-ies is they’re saying that no-till is the prob-lem but in Ohio, for example, only about 6 percent of the corn acreage is planted with no-till. About 30 percent of the soybean crops are no-till.” Many attending the conference ap-preciated hearing a farmer’s perspective, Myers said, as opposed to hearing from an agricultural agency describing the industry. “As I said in my presentation, I’m only showing you what our operation has been doing,” he said. And the family has been doing it for a long time, starting in 1890 with Myers’ great-grandfather. Corn, soybeans, wheat, alfalfa, hay and

cover crops are grown at the farm, which is worked by Myers, along with his brother, Bob; son and daughter, John and Rita, and wife Saletta. Myers father was one of the fi rst grow-ers in the area to rent a no-till planter in the early 1980s. “There was a government program in which you could rent the equipment and try it out on a small amount of acreage – 40 or 50 acres,” he said. “You could try it out and decide for yourself if it was worth it. After a few years we decided to go ahead and buy it.” A 5-year study by the Natural Resources Conservation Service that concluded in 2011, collected data on conservation tillage in the Western Lake Erie Basin Watershed that encompasses about 4.9 million acres in Northwest Ohio, Northeast Indiana and Southeast Michigan.

Of the 4.9 million acres, about 3.2 mil-lion acres are used to grow crops. The study found:• In any given year, about 40 percent of the watershed still has no form of conservation tillage or protective residue cover on the soil at planting time. That equates to about 1.2 million acres of bare cropland in the watershed at planting time.• About 65 percent of the soybeans are planted with no-till, while only 19 percent of corn acres are planted with no-till.• Nearly seven of every 10 corn acres are still grown without any form of conserva-tion tillage, using either moldboard plow-ing or a system which aggressively stirs the soil. Pat Nicholson, former president of the Toledo Lucas County Port Authority, was the keynote speaker for the conference held at Lourdes University Franciscan Center.

Oregon grower: No-till planting a plus for lake watershed

It will truly be like Christmas in July in Pemberville, when the Pemberville-Freedom Area Historical Society receives $220,000 in state funds earmarked for the installation of an elevator and two handi-capped-accessible restrooms on the second fl oor of the 122-year-old Pemberville Opera House. The funding will come as part of the Capital Budget signed April 1 by Gov. John Kasich. The bill, sponsored by said Rep. Ron Amstutz (R., Wooster), chairman of the House Finance Committee, allocates nearly $2.4 billion for repairs, maintenance and construction of publicly owned buildings and other infrastructure at the state and lo-cal level. “It’s a blessing,” said Carol Bailey, his-torical society member and Pemberville Opera House programming director, who has been on a mission to make the opera house theater accessible for elderly and dis-abled audience members. “I’ve been doing these (Live in the House) shows now for the past six years, and I’ve been watching people having a harder and harder time getting up the stairs,” she said. The historic town hall, constructed during the height of the Oil Boom in 1891, was restored in 1999, however plans didn’t include an elevator. Recognizing the need to make the fa-cility more accessible, three years ago the historical society consulted with architect Scott J. Heacock, whose historical resto-ration projects include renovation of the Maumee Indoor Theater, regarding options for adding an elevator. From three design options, the society chose a proposal that would include add-ing an exterior elevator tower on the Main Street side of the opera house, along with two handicapped-accessible restrooms up-stairs. “The design of the outside tower will mesh in with the building,” Bailey said. “We’ll use brick that matches.” The total project cost would total approximately $330,000. “For a non-profi t group that skates along by the skin of our teeth, the idea of

Historical society members uplifted by $220,000 grantraising that kind of money seemed like a pipe dream,” Bailey said. “We own the Pember-Furry House and the schoolhouse behind it, and the antique store and we support the opera house. We’re constantly in fundraising mode just to support what we’ve got.” Then in November, Ohio Arts Council regional program coordinator Kathy Cain visited the opera house for a November show. “She was here for a couple days, and we did programs at Lake Schools, a library program and opera house program,” said Bailey, who is also the Grand Rapids Town Hall programming director and Pemberville Free Fair entertainment chair. “I said to her, ‘You’ve got to help me fi nd some money.’ And, she told me about the capital bill,” Bailey said. “I got home that night, I ‘Googled’ it and I found it, and I found that essentially it was a biennial bill and it had closed about two weeks earlier.” Disappointed, Bailey was determined to continue fundraising efforts and to apply for the next round of funding, which would be available in two years. Just before Thanksgiving, she received an email from the Ohio Arts Council, say-ing they were looking for more arts projects included in the bill, and they wanted grant applications by the end of the month. “So, I contacted Mayor (Gordon) Bowman, and he and I each took a copy of the questionnaire and we each wrote an-swers,” she said. She sent the fi nished ques-tionnaire to Dan Wilkins, a Pemberville area resident and director of public relations at the Ability Center, who helped “marry” the two sets of answers. For good measure, she asked her son, who at the time wrote grants for the Cherry Street Mission, to look over and fi nesse the responses. Exhausted and hopeful, Bailey submit-ted the application. A week later, she got a request for even more information, which she gathered and sent off. Then came a call from State Rep. Tim Brown’s offi ce asking for letters of support for the project from the community. “I hadn’t told anyone about what I was doing; I didn’t want to get anyone’s hopes up,” Bailey said. “I sent out a mass email asking for help and within a couple of days, I had amassed 30 letters of support. “There were letters from parents of theater workshop students, performers,

residents of Otterbein-Portage Valley,” she said. “What was neat is, they all had a dif-ferent perspective. “Parents wrote letters that said they have grandparents who can’t make it up-stairs to see their grandchildren perform at the theater,” Bailey said. “Dan Wilkins, who is in a wheelchair, wrote that he has never seen anyone perform at the Opera House because he can’t make it upstairs. “In my proposal, I wrote that I’ve been involved with the shows for six years there and I’ve seen people who used to fl y up those steps starting to struggle now. Some just say, ‘I can’t come up any more,’” she said. “Now that we’ve got the $220,000, the mayor is going to apply for a $50,000

Community Development Block Grant from Wood County,” she said.“I have a lit-tle box at the back of the theater earmarked for the Elevator Fund,” she said. “People put $5, $20, $25 – whatever they can; we’re up to about $9,000 in that account. That will leave us with about $50,000 to raise, give or take. “The town council has to pass a resolu-tion to permit the construction of the exteri-or tower on the building,” she said. “We’re hoping to break ground next spring.” Donations to help the elevator along can be sent to the Pemberville Freedom Historical Society, c/o Opera House Elevator Fund, P.O. Box 802, Pemberville, Ohio 43450.

Outpouring of support To the editor: In the face of tragedy, one does not know how people will react. The early morning hours of March 9 brought with them an unimaginable and terrible tragedy. Jose Andy Chavez, a husband, father, son, brother and vibrant family member to so many, was shot and killed as he celebrat-ed his 26th birthday with his family. They will forever feel their loss. Another family is also mourning its loss. Andy was a full-time Elmore police offi cer and his dedication to his job was ex-emplary. His happy attitude and big smile are not only missed every day by the police department but also by the whole Elmore community. Never facing such a tragedy and not knowing what to expect, the events that took place in the following hours and days still overwhelm me as I think of the dedica-tion and teamwork of so many different fac-tions coming together and working as one with a single goal – to honor Andy Chavez in the very best way they could. Our strong community showed its strength and even got stronger in the face of such adversity. It is time to say “thank you” to all that worked so tirelessly and unselfi shly during this terrible time. The hundreds of phone calls, the meetings, the hours of planning and the all-out effort put out by so many to synchronize a chain of events in such a short period of time could only be accom-plished by so many working as one to make it happen. First and foremost, I would like to thank Police Chief George Hayes and Sgt. Jeff Harrison who were extraordinary in the planning and their coordination efforts. I would also like to thank Sheriff Steve Levorchick and the entire Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department for all of their help and continued support; the Clay Township Police Department for covering the village the day of the service; the Fraternal Order of Police Association of Port Clinton and the Toledo Police Department for their help and advice on protocols for the funeral, and to Chaplain Vriezelaar for offi ciating

the services. I would also like to thank the Harris-Elmore Fire Department for all their help before, during and after the day of the service, and the Elmore Historical Society. I would also like to say a special “thank you” to the Woodmore staff, the students and the Woodmore parents for all their ef-forts they put forth to honor Andy and his family. It is impossible to thank everyone by name. The list is, indeed, very long. At this time, I would just like to say thank you, everyone for everything you did following this tragic loss.Matt Damschroder,Mayor, Village of Elmore

Progressive thinking? To the editor: This is in response to the letter by Cynthia Campbell. She as-serts discrimination is always wrong and many Christians are medieval thinking hypocrites for their views on same-sex rela-tions. The issue has been topical because of events like the photographer who refused to shoot a same-sex couple’s ceremony and a fl orist who refused to provide services to a same-sex couple’s union. I guess if every-one was a secular progressive thinker, all discrimination would cease. Let’s test a few hypothetical examples. I guess since religion represents me-dieval thinking, I’ll use examples that rep-resent progressive thinking. A vegetarian opens a restaurant and approaches a for-hire food critic who happens to be vegan to try all of her dishes. The vegan refuses because of his personal beliefs and the veg-etarian sues him. This will be tough for the courts because on one hand, the veg-etarian is a woman and the vegan is a man. On the other hand the male food critic is more progressive in his thinking because he is vegan. Maybe the court will rule that her restaurant should give up the medieval thinking of vegetarianism and serve only

vegan dishes. Michelle Obama will praise the decision. A female couple approaches a woman to take pictures for their union. The photog-rapher specializes in serving male couples only and is not comfortable photographing female couples despite being in a same-sex relationship herself. I guess she’s a secular progressive hypocrite so the courts will rule against her on behalf of women’s rights. That makes sense. An environmentalist runs an eco-friendly carwash for compact cars. Another environmentalist drives up in his SUV. He only drives the SUV because he needed the space to house the seven species of bugs he just saved from extinction in the rainforest. The SUV won’t fi t through the car wash so the driver sues. The courts rule that the car wash is wrong for not putting the health of the bugs fi rst and the SUV driver is wrong for not driving a hybrid SUV made by GM. Everybody wins. Hopefully I’ve made my point.Adam SwartzWalbridge

Nothing was done To the editor: I question just why Congress and the Justice Department are looking into the ignition problem General Motors is having, and the deaths of 12 peo-ple. When thousands of guns were allowed to go into Mexico and were used to kill Mexican citizens and Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, nothing was done. When our ambassador to Libya and three others were killed, nothing was done. The gun-runners were promoted and the Justice Department is stonewalling. The woman who was in charge of the IRS re-tired and is taking the Fifth before congress. Hillary Clinton said, when ques-tioned by Congress about the death of U.S. Ambassador to Libya, “It is over and done

with, so get over it.”Rufus WallaceMillbury

Editor’s note: A Mexican man was sen-tenced to 30 years in prison for the death of Brian Terry. Others believed to be involved are at large or in custody in Mexico.

Fundraiser support To the editor: We wish to thank every-one for their support for donations to the Kyler Hammer Chicken Barbecue Benefi t. The benefi t was held March 30 at the Eagle’s Nest Hall in Oak Harbor to benefi t Kyler, who was born June 3, 2013 with a genetic disorder. We especially want to thank Batdorff Real Estate and all associates and spouses for all their help in selling tickets, as well as their help in serving and making it a suc-cessful day and event. It was very much ap-preciated. Kyler is working very hard with his therapy to make us proud and he is such a blessing. We need extra prayers for his sur-gery to be successful and for quick recovery in May. He defi nitely is a fi ghter. Nick, Megan and Kyler HammerDean HammerBernie and Gene Hammer

A Good Samaritan To the editor: I had the good fortune on Sunday, March 20 of having a stranger help, and I never even had the ability to thank him or her. An unknown person returned my purse intact to the Service Desk at the Oregon Meijer from an outside cart corral. There is an endless stream of nega-tive news and I realized that honest, de-cent citizens often are overlooked for their kindness. To this Good Samaritan – thank you. You have restored my faith in human-ity and I intend to pay your good deed for-ward.K. AckermanGibsonburg

Time affects virtually every aspect of your life. Time only moves forward. There is no going back. Time can’t be saved or made up. Time seems to go by faster each year. Times goes by like a fl ash when you are happy and having fun and drags end-lessly when you are not. A big time trap is waiting for things to happen. Although circumstances can change over time, passively waiting for this to occur is very ineffective. A more suc-cessful strategy is taking action now in or-der to make things happen. Although you decide how proactive you are, there is no way to know how much time it will take to accomplish any particu-lar objective. Patience is as essential as ac-tion. Since there is no way to know how close you are to your goal, you must keep persevering. Always remember that failure only occurs when you give up. The effect of water on stone is a great illustration of the cumulative effects of action over time. A single drop of water has no impact whatsoever on a rock. Yet billions of drops of water over eons cre-ate landscapes as stunning as the Grand Canyon. Success takes both time and effort.

Time and effort, if used wisely equals success

The key is being persistent and consistent. It really doesn’t matter how long a journey takes because time goes by anyway. So you may as well be spending your time working

toward something you want. Just as time is required to build, time is as needed to maintain. For example, once a house is constructed, it takes time and ef-fort to keep it in good shape. Any structure that is ignored will collapse over time. Achieving a goal is wonderful. You must then devote enough time to maintain-ing your goal. Landing your dream job is certainly a great accomplishment. In order to keep your job you need to spend enough time doing everything expected of you. It’s common to hear time used as an excuse. There is not enough time. It will take too much time. I’m too young. I’m too old. Excuses prevent accomplishments. Stop making them. Now is the time to start down your chosen path. You will never be as young as you are today. Those people with lots of time on their hands, who don’t have a specifi c direction, easily become bored. The statement, “I have some time to kill,” indicates someone is in this situation. Your life can be as rich and exciting as you make it. It’s a shame to drift along without any meaningful goals. Unfortunately we encounter adverse circumstances we have to deal with. These cause negative emotions such as grief, sad-

ness, stress, and worry. These feelings can fade in intensity over time. Healing is a process that cannot be rushed. Each person is different in how much time they require. Time only moves forward, and you should also. The most important time is the present. What you do with your time is up to you. Lamenting the past or worrying about the future is a waste of time. Learn from the past while taking action to prepare for the future. Action is essen-tial to moving in your desired direction or reaching a specifi c goal. Treat each day as the gift it is. Rather than waiting for oppor-tunity, create opportunity. Each day is a brand new opportunity to assess where you are, decide where you want to go, and then do whatever is neces-sary to get there. Life is not a practice run. Use the time you have to create the life you want.

The Nostalgia Highway

Survey showed 49 percent of high school students cheated

By Jill Richardson

As a Californian, I have not gotten too much sympathy from friends and family about our rotten weather this winter. Yes, I said rotten weather. It’s been incredibly pleasant— except for a few times when the temperature crept up to 90 — but we’ve hardly had any rain. Cry me a river, you might think. Especially if you live in a part of the coun-try where the term “polar vortex” was added to your vocabulary in the past few months. Boo-hoo. It was too sunny and per-fect every day. California’s climate problems have nothing to do with human comfort — but they have everything to do with human food. And not just for California. Unfortunately for the rest of the coun-try, Californians provide a huge share of the nation’s fruits and vegetables. If we can’t grow crops because we have no water, ev-erybody misses out. A recent Mother Jones article points out that nearly all of America’s almonds, walnuts, strawberries, broccoli, grapes, and more come from the Golden State. And just one walnut requires a whopping 4.9 gal-lons of water. That’s not 4.9 gallons for a pound of walnuts. That’s for just one nut. A stick of butter? That takes 109 gallons of

The Golden State’s drought affects more than the residents

water to produce. It’s more than a little crazy that a state without much water provides the nation with nearly half of its fruit, nuts,

and vegetables. And yeah, you can’t judge California’s water supplies based on this year alone since it’s one of the driest years on record. But whether the current drought continues (as some experts predict) or the recent downpours herald a break in this dry spell, we are foolish to put all of our agricultural eggs in one geographic basket. The prominent food writer Michael Pollan once made the point that effi ciency in agriculture comes at the expense of resil-ience, and vice versa. To date, it’s been ef-fi cient to produce 95 percent of America’s broccoli in just a few California counties. But that also means that one natural disas-ter could take out the majority of our broc-coli supply in a given year. California is blessed with a mild Mediterranean climate and seemingly un-limited sunshine, but it’s not for nothing that we call ourselves the “Shake ‘n Bake” state. Earthquakes and wildfi res are only two of our specialties — we’ve also got mudslides, fl ash fl oods, and now this ter-rible drought. Even in wet years, it doesn’t rain much. When farmers concentrate the growth of a single crop in one area, we risk losing that crop to an outbreak of pests or disease. That is even truer when farmers grow the same variety of the same crop. Think grove after grove of Valencia oranges, without

any Navels in sight. Our current farming system arose out of a drive for effi ciency. If we grow all of the tomatoes (or lettuce or broccoli) in one spot, then the farmers benefi t from an en-tire distribution and processing system centralized in their area. Perhaps there’s a tomato canning plant or a ketchup factory nearby. This system currently gives us the cheapest food in the world. Americans spend less than 10 percent of our dispos-able income on food, less than any other nation. Yet our cheap food system is inherent-ly risky. A few years ago, a drought across most of the country radically reduced our corn production. California’s ongoing drought will reduce the supply of many fruits, nuts, and vegetables. With the changing climate, we can ex-pect more weather extremes and the crop failures they sow. Let’s build resiliency into our food system by growing fruits, nuts, and vegetables across the country instead of concentrating way too much of our food in one drought-prone state.

The number of Ohio farms, which totaled 70,711, decreased by 10 percent from 1987 to 1992, according to the U.S. Commerce Department. Two sizes of farms, however, increased--those under 300 acres and those more than 1,000 acres.

Teachers re-turned the tests to their students to self-cor-rect. After students turned in their grades, Glauser rechecked the papers for cheating. Results showed 49 percent of students cheated. Of those, 54 percent were males. The study showed almost no variance from school to school. William Nye, director of Ohio Natural Resources, issued a plea to sport and com-mercial fi shermen to cooperate with the state’s effort to increase the low walleye population in Lake Erie. Nye’s comments came after the DNR seized its fi rst commercial fi shing boat for illegally taking walleye. The boat’s owner paid $1,250 for its return.

Adam and Madison Grimm with their winning stamp designs.

By Stephanie SzozdaPress Staff [email protected]

The love of nature and a skill in art run deep in the Grimm family. Elyria, Ohio native Adam Grimm and his daughter Madison, age 7, both took fi rst place in the 2013 Federal Duck Stamp Con-tests for their age categories and have both received the honor of having their paint-ings appear on this years duck stamps. The Federal Duck Stamp Contest is nothing new to professional wildlife artist Adam Grimm. His 1999 contest-winning painting for the special 2000 Millennial Federal Duck Stamp kicked off his profes-sional painting career at age 21 and also made him the youngest person to have ever won the federal contest. Grimm takes the competition very seriously. Although there is no monetary prize for winning, the prestige and noto-riety associated with the contest can pro-vide a plethora of career opportunities for the wildlife artist – enough to justify the months of work that can go into creating a painting worthy of entering. “Since the 1999 competition, I’ve got-ten fourth place a number of times, a fi fth place and I got second place the one year, but I just didn’t quite hit it right where the judges picked it to win, and that’s just the way it goes sometimes,” he said.

Multiple winners Not only did Grimm and his daughter win the federal contests, he also won this year’s Ohio Wetlands Habitat Stamp con-test with his painting of a Northern Pintail in fl ight. “It’s a great honor and just a neat thing to have both,” he said. “The way it came together was really just almost divine in na-ture.” There is a lot more that goes into painting wildlife than most people realize, Grimm said. Only fi ve species are eligible each year for the Federal Duck Stamp Com-petition; artists who choose to use a photo

Wildlife artist, daughter, design Federal Duck Stamps

as reference may only use unpublished ones. Most artists start collecting as many good unpublished photographs of eligible species as they can years ahead of time so they are prepared for future competitions, Grimm said. He added being a successful wildlife painter is not just about an ability to paint; artists have to have good detailed references, so it’s helpful to be an accomplished photog-rapher, birder and outdoorsman as well. “I go out to take pictures just about ev-ery sunny day this time of year,” Grimm ex-plained in a telephone interview from his Burbank, S.D. home. “I was out this morn-

ing and I’ll probably go back out this eve-ning and probably tomorrow as well. It’s like a non-stop quest trying to get the best references you can get. The fi rst thing you have to do to prepare for the competition is to choose which spe-cies to paint,” he said. “I knew most people would want to paint Mallards, and I don’t usually like to paint the species that I think most of the other people are going to paint. “Canvasbacks, I fi gured would prob-ably be the second most popular bird,” he said. “They’re a beautiful bird and I have a lot of fond memories about Canvasbacks from past experiences, so I really wanted to

paint them but I didn’t really have a lot of very good references.” He had little luck trying to get good photo references near his home; and when his daughter Madison won the Federal Ju-nior Duck Stamp contest with a Canvasback on the water, he realized just how limited his references were for that year. “I was thinking, ‘I don’t want to do a Canvasback on the water now because I don’t want it to look anything like what she won with,’” he said. A friend of Grimm’s suggested they drive a few hours away and spend a week or so trying to get better reference photos. After stopping at a number of loca-tions, they found what they affectionately coined “Canvasback Lake.” “It’s a lot, a lot of work – way more work than I think most people would ever think that it is,” he said. “I mean we had boats, we had the decoys, the waders, the camoufl age and all of the camera supply stuff.” The pair would set up before daylight, take a break midday to recharge the cameras and go back in the evening for more, Grimm said. Fortunately, all the hard work paid off, and he left after fi ve days with more than 4,000 photos of Canvasbacks and some good pho-tos of other species of birds as well.”

National headlines Madison has not only sold her win-ning painting and made national headlines as the youngest artist to have ever won the Federal Junior Stamp Contest but she has sold other paintings and took commissions for new paintings. “I heard that there was a contest and I really wanted to do what my Dad does, so I wanted to enter it – that’s kind of what started it,” she said. Madison started the painting when she was 5. “It took a little over a year I think because I took a little break in between and I couldn’t get to work on it right away,” she said. The home-schooled young artist plans to continue painting, exploring wildlife, and hopes to one day become a biologist.

Audiences sure to fi nd laughter, tears “On Golden Pond” Oregon Community Theatre will present its spring show, “On Golden Pond,” April 25 and 26 and May 2 and 3 at 8 p.m. and April 27 at 3 p.m. in Fassett Auditorium, 3025 Starr Ave., Oregon. The American classic comedy/drama offers a touching, funny and a warmly perceptive study of a spirited and lovable elderly couple facing their twilight years. The much-loved story, written by Ernest Thompson, will be directed by Dawn Yard and produced by Tim Yard. “On Golden Pond” showcases the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who are returning to their summer home on Golden Pond for the 48th year. A retired professor, Norman has heart palpitations and a fail-ing memory, but is still as tart-tongued, ob-servant and eager for life as ever. Ethel, the perfect foil for Norman, delights in all the small things that have enriched and con-tinue to enrich their long life together. The couple is visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fi -ancé, who then go off to Europe, leaving his teenage son behind for the summer. The boy quickly becomes the “grandchild” the elderly couple has longed for, and as Norman revels in taking his ward fi shing and thrusting good books at him, he also learns a few lessons about modern teenage awareness and slang in return. Dawn Yard is excited to direct the play because, “I’ve always loved the movie and it’s a great classic, she said, adding one of

the fi rst challenges she faced was in cast-ing, to get the right fi t since the production called for people from 80 to 13. “We had to fi nd someone old enough to play Norman and young enough to play Billy Ray Jr.” she said. “I think I picked a wonderful cast.” In fact, the actor playing Norman, John Henry, is 85 . He actually played the part before 40 years ago. Other cast members include Ethel Thayer - Cheryl Tanner; Bill - Eric Collier; Chelsea Thayer Wayne - Amy

Carpenter; Billy Ray, Jr. - Noah Hagedorn; Charlie Martin- Reed Steele and The Operator - Lori Bee. Another challenge, Yard said, will be set design. “The set’s going to be huge; it’s a lot of work in a limited amount of time.” Yard’s favorite scene in the show is “when Chelsea reconciles with Norman, her father, and they work out their prob-lems. It makes me cry every time,” she said, adding that while the show is touching,

there’s plenty of humor, too. “Norman is sarcastic and throws one-liners out there,” she said. “The scene with Norman and Bill about Bill and Chelsea staying in the same bedroom will have peo-ple rolling with laughter in their seats.” Tickets for “On Golden Pond” are $12 for adults and $10 for seniors and students. For tickets, call 419-691-1398 or visit or-egoncommunitytheatre.org.

The cast of “On Golden Pond” includes (stand-ing) John Henry (Norman); Cheryl Tanner (Ethel); Amy Carpenter (Chelsea); Noah Hagedorn (Billy Ray Jr.); Eric Col-lier (Bill); Lori Bee (operator) and (sit-ting) Reed Steele (Charlie).

Just last year, Cardinal Stritch Catholic's baseball team accomplished an impressive feat and won the Toledo Area Athletic Conference title, sharing the honor with Ottawa Hills.

Though they’re expected by many in the area to compete for a TAAC title this season, Stritch does have six players to replace from last year’s squad.

One of the challenges will likely come from Gibsonburg. After winning a sectional title last year, the Golden Bears return the majority of both their pitching and hitting production and have an experienced squad that includes six seniors.

Northwood is in a similiar boat as Stritch. After having a senior-laden squad that led the Rangers to one of its best sea-sons in program history, the Rangers have many holes to fill.

Clay brings back an old face to take the helm — you could say new coach Jim Phillips is back home again.

Phillips, a Clay grad, was a varsity assistant at St. John’s Jesuit last season but coached at Clay the previous two seasons. He replaces Garry Isbell as the Eagles’ head coach. Phillips was an all-state player at Clay his senior year, in 2001, and was named Clay’s James F. O’Brien Award win-ner that same year.

Phillips, who was elected to Clay’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2011 and played baseball at Youngstown State University, takes over a team that finished second in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference and won a Division I district title a year ago.

In the Northern Buckeye Conference, Genoa is in an ideal position.

They’re coming off a magical season that saw them advance to the Division III regional finals in dramatic fashion as they won three one run games behind a talented group of players that did nearly everything right when it counted most.

And all of those players have returned for another run.

Lake, which tied with Eastwood for second place in the NBC last year behind Otsego, returns a core group of six seniors in 2014.

Coach Greg Wilker also said Lake has a deep group of pitchers.

“We have eight players who could see time on the mound this year,” Wilker said.

Meanwhile, Eastwood returns just five lettermen from last year’s team and Woodmore lost four key players from last year, but it does return a number of con-tributors.

After struggling much of the season last year, the Wildcats hit their stride late before upsetting league champion Otsego and winning the Division III sectional title.

In the Sandusky Bay Conference, Oak Harbor graduated two all-district perform-ers in A.J. Cecil (first team) and Mark Konieczny (second team) but return honor-able mention all-district performer Andy Rathbun. Honorable mention All-Sandusky Bay Conference picks Nate Seagaard and Justin Warnke also graduated, but hon-orable mention all-conference performer Logan Winke returns.

In the Toledo City League, Waite grad-uated three of their top four hitters, aver-age-wise, off last year’s squad, and most of

the juniors on the 2013 team were first-year varsity players.

“We are relying on them at the plate this year with that extra year of experi-ence,” Coach David Quiroga, a Waite alum-nus, said.

Cardinal StritchCoach: Craig Meinzer, third yearLast Year: 20-10 (10-2 TAAC)Key Returnees: Robert Johnson, OF; Jake Empie, 3B/P; Brooks Gasser, P/OF; Ricky Pratt, 1B; Adam Ballesteros, SSPreview: In two years as coach of the Cardinals, Craig Meinzer has helped to change the culture within the program.

Outfielder Robert Johnson, who was a pleasant surprise for the team last year, will hit leadoff. He hit .316 and scored 19 runs last season for the Cardinals. Jake Empie, who plays third and pitches, hit .462 and drove in 11 runs,

will hit third behind OF Grant Curavo, a left-handed hitter who provides the team with some speed in the two-hole. And catcher Jude Neary will hit cleanup.

Empie is the team’s No. 1 starter. He pitched 29.1 innings last year and had an ERA of 3.78. Brooks Gasser, who went 3-4 in 31.2 innings of work, will back him up, and Sean Killian, Grant Kuravo and Chase Dehring round out the rotation.

“If we can pitch and do a lot of the little things, I think we’re ahead of the game from where we were two years ago,” Meinzer said. “And if we can field the ball and throw it like we’re capable of, that will be the tell tale sign of how good we can be. We will hit a little, we can play the small ball game too, the players better under-stand what to do now.

GibsonburgCoach: Kyle Rase, 10th yearLast Year: 18-9 (5-7 TAAC)Key Returnees: Brent Hayward, P/OF; Andrew Cantrell, 1B; Sam Kohler, C; Gabe Hickman, 3B/P; Matt Lutzman, P/OF; Andrew Dellinger, P; Jacob Auld, OF; Derek Angelone, C/OF; Bryce Ernsthausen, P/3B; Cyrus Foos, 2B; Jordan Kreglow, SSPreview: Gibsonburg has good reason to be excited about the upcoming season.

First baseman Andrew Cantrell, who has earned three letters, hit third in the lineup and finished with a .354 average last year. Sam Kohler, the catcher, also a three-year letter winner, hit .338. Both earned first team All-

TAAC honors. But it wasn’t just those two who con-

sistently provided production at the plate. Third baseman Gabe Hickman had a .427

average, outfielder Brent Hayward hit .353 and fellow outfielder Jacob Auld contrib-uted with a .328 average.

They’ll be expected to lead the way for a team that must replace the produc-tion from Gage Collins, Tristain Palmerton, Dennis Shammo, Bill VanDerLaar and Tyler Witte, all of whom graduated.

On the mound, Hayward led the team, going 4-1 with a 2.89 ERA, and Hickman contributed 35 strikeouts in 40 innings. Matt Lutzman went 4-2 with a 3.27 ERA and Andrew Dellinger provided relief out of the bullpen.

Should they pitch well, the Golden Bears will have a chance to compete with the likes of Ottawa Hills and Cardinal Stritch for the TAAC title.

“We have several returning starters back from last year’s 18-9 team and 85 percent of our the innings pitched from the pitching staff,” said coach Kyle Rase, who led the Golden Bears to the Division IV State Championship in 2005. “And we’ll count on that experience as a strength.”

Northwood Coach: John Segura, first yearLast Year: 18-11 (9-3 TAAC)Key Returnees: Jake Davenport, P/C/SS; Myles Habel, C; Stephen Sutton, INF/OF/C; Jack Romstadt, SS/PPreview: Northwood, which lost in the Division IV regional finals to perennial state final four contender Tinora, 13-5,

graduated seven seniors and has just three returning start-ers.

Jake Davenport, who has been instrumental in the team’s success in the past few years, returns to hit lead-off and be the team’s ace.

He’s followed in the lineup by Jack Romstadt, Stephen Sutton and Myles Habel, who hit .380 and was a second-team TAAC selection last year. The rest of the batting order will include the likes of Steve Gutekunst, Jacob Zierhoff, Chandlor Hayes, Marco Ortiz, Lukas Deselmes and Colin Gutekunst.

On the mound, Steve Gutekunst will serve as the No. 2 pitcher behind Davenport and Sutton will be the third starter.

“With it being a rebuilding year, we’ll be moving guys up and down all year till we get a comfortable fit,” said head coach John Segura, whose son, Johnny, is playing baseball at OSU-Lima. “We’ll do that till we find something that works.”

Segura expects steady leadership from Davenport and Habel, both of whom were a part of the Rangers’ successful run in the tournament last season.

“Our future is extremely bright. Our sophomore and freshman classes are great. The coaching staff is excited about us growing into a good team and what the prospects are.”

ClayCoach: Jim Phillips, first yearLast year: 16-14 (7-2 TRAC)Key returnees: Josh Pennington, Sr., 1B/P; Matt York, Sr., INF/OF/P; Jay Smith, Sr., C/OF; Kyle Row, Sr., INF/OF; Bryce Castilleja, Sr., P/3B; Ryan Fournier, Jr., SS/P; Austyn Gwin, Jr., OF/P.Preview: Clay returns several all-confer-

Cards face uphill battle defending co-championship

To win another To-ledo Area Athletic Conference co-cham-pionship, Cardinal Stritch Catholic coach Craig Meinzer (left) will have his work cut out replac-ing six players. (Press pho-to by Doug Karns/Kat-eriSchools.org)

ence athletes, led by sec-ond-team All-TRAC and second-team all-district performer Ryan Fournier, who has verbally com-mitted to play at Xavier University.

“Ryan is a guy we need to have a big year on the mound and at the plate,” Phillips said. “He has all the tools and is a tireless worker. We need him to take another step forward this year in all facets of his game.”

Bryce Castilleja earned second-team All-TRAC honors, while Kyle Row and Josh Pennington were named honorable mention all-conference.

“Bryce really needs to step up for us on the mound and at the plate,” Phillips said. “He will be one of the guys hitting towards the top of the order and he needs to get on base and drive in runs for us to be successful. He’s going to be our No. 1 on the mound, and he has the ability to shut teams down.”

Pennington will also see plenty of action on the mound and “also needs to be an RBI producer in the middle of our order,” Phillips said. “Matt York has thrown the ball well so far in the preseason and needs to carry that over into game situations. He will also get opportunities at second base or at one of the corner outfield spots.”

Row, a three-sport athlete who will play football at Miami of Ohio, is one of Clay’s middle infielders and will also see time in the outfield. Jay Smith will be looked upon to provide leadership and play well behind the plate and in the out-field.

Other contributors this season are expected to be junior Austyn Gwin and seniors Aaron Lee (1B/OF), Troy Graham (1B/DH), Dylan Berg (P/OF) and Anthony Ramirez (OF).

“This is a veteran group with a lot of depth, athleticism and big-game experi-ence,” Phillips said. “Pitching, defense and team speed will be our strengths, even with the loss of two of our top pitchers. We have a lot of experience on the mound coming back. We have a chance to do some great things this year, but it will depend on pro-duction at the plate. We only had two guys hit over .300 last season.”

WaiteCoach: David Quiroga, fifth yearLast year: 6-18 (6-4 CL)Key returnees: Ryan Mathena, Sr., Utility; Josh Smenner, Sr., 2B/P; Joe Fix Jr., Sr., 1B/P; Tony Smith, Sr., C/Utility; Gary Matney, Sr., INF/P; Brandon Wagner, So., OF/P.Preview: Senior catcher Tony Smith has the most experience of this year’s senior group, having played on the varsity on and

off since his freshman year and starting full-time as a sophomore.

Quiroga said Waite should get a boost in expe-rience after several players played summer ball and in

fall leagues.“Hopefully this will bring some higher

numbers at the plate,” the coach said. “We are working on shortening the swings and getting the ball in play. We had too many strikeouts last year.”

The Indians graduated their top two pitchers in first team All-City League and all-district performer Josh Murphy and first-team all-league and second-team all-district performer Jose Padilla. Murphy is now pitching at Baldwin-Wallace.

To make up for their loss, Quiroga said the Indians will use a pitcher-by-committee approach with Joe Fix Jr., Josh Smenner, Smith, Brandon Wagner, Gary Matney and Ryan Mathena.

“We have a lot of seniors who have been working hard at pitching all pre-season, and we believe they should do really well for us,” Quiroga said. “We need the defense to step up this year and be

solid. We have to cut down on errors and be very stingy on defense.”

Quiroga said defending CL champion Start and runner-up Bowsher are the teams to beat in the league this season.

EastwoodCoach: Kevin Leady, third yearLast year: 17-8 (9-4 NBC)Key returnees: Grant Peters, Sr., P/OF; Ryan Mang, Sr., INF; Jake Schmeltz, Sr., P/IF/OF; Mat Drown, Sr., P/IF/OF; David Krukemyer, Sr., 1B/C.Preview: Grant Peters returns after going 4-2 on the mound last season with a school-record 1.24 ERA.

Ryan Mang returns to hit leadoff after batting .400 last season. Mang has 72 walks in three years.

“Ryan is the catalyst of our team,” Leady said.

“Grant was our workhorse off the mound and our top guy. He works ahead of hit-ters and is always attacking with all of his pitches.”

Leady added that Eastwood’s goals are two-fold this season: compete for the NBC championship and make a deep run into the postseason tournament.

“The season will be determined on how the seniors lead the underclassmen,” Leady said. “Our seniors and upperclass-men work really well at trying to pre-pare the younger players for the season. Leadership will be a deciding factor on the success of the season.”

Another key for the Eagles will be developing depth on the mound.

“We have a few younger guys that are showing great things early on,” Leady said, “and we are very excited to see what they can accomplish throughout the season. The program works very hard in bullpen ses-sions to get our athletes ready for the grind of the season.”

GenoaCoach: Ron Rightnowar, third yearLast Year: 20-10 (9-5 NBC)Key Returnees: Jake Wojciechowski, RF/P; Casey Gose, CF; Alex Hayes, P/SS; Nick Wolfe, C; Logan Scott, 1B/P; Cody Pickard, 2B; Luke Rightnowar, P/SS/3B; Tyler Rozek, OF; Quentin Spiess, OFPreview: Luke Rightnowar, who was 9-0

last season, is the team’s ace, and Alex Hayes, who earned first team league honors last year, is back, too. And Kyle

Edwards, sitting out last year after under-going Tommy John surgery, is back, giving the Comets a formidable rotation. The other pitchers include Quentin Spiess, Logan Scott, Gabe Yanez and Matt Aumiller.

Last season, Cody Pickard, Casey Gose and Hayes led the team in RBIs, and Nick Wolfe supplied power in the middle of the order.

But coach Ron Rightnowar knows that last year’s success doesn’t give the Comets any advantages heading into this season.

“There’s no reason for us to be com-placent,” Rightnowar said. “(Last year’s run) gave us a lot of confidence. A bunch of guys played during the summer and played at a high level. They continued to push themselves. They know they have to prove themselves.

“I’m really happy with their maturity — the guys are playing with more maturity, they’re doing the little things (with respect to) the game and being smart. That’s what I’m really pleased with. They always work hard. You’ve got to work hard and play smart.”

LakeCoach: Greg Wilker, 30th seasonLast year: 15-10 (9-4 NBC)Key returnees: Brad Ackerman, Sr., OF/P; Joel Densic, Sr., 3B; Anthony Pratt, Sr., 1B/C; Jayce Vancena, Sr., P/1B; Nick Walsh, Sr., C; Cody Witt, Sr., 2B/P; Connor Bowen, SS/P; Todd Walters, Jr., 1B/P; Adam Duncan, So., OF/P.Preview: Jayce Vancena, who struck out 75 batters in 52 innings last year as a junior, takes the mound as the Flyers’ No. 1 hurler.

Vancena was 3-4 with a 1.06 ERA while earning first team All-NBC hon-ors.

“Jayce will be the leader of this group because he’s a true power

pitcher,” Wilker said. “Brad Ackerman is a left-handed senior who is capable of throw-ing some outstanding games this year. We have good depth on the mound with

Baseball previews(continued from page 16)

Todd Walters, a junior right-hander who is throwing very well early on.”

Ackerman batted .386 with 20 RBI last year, while Connor Bowen hit .355 and Nick Walsh hit .316. Joel Densic (.297) and Cody Witt (.286) also had solid seasons. Ackerman was a first-team all-conference pick, and Witt, Bowen and Walsh were honorable mention selections.

“We should be solid on defense because we are very strong up the middle with Cody Witt at second base, Connor Bowen at shortstop and Nick Walsh behind the plate,” Wilker said. “We are also good at the corners with Joel Densic at third and Anthony Pratt at first. We have a lot of experience and speed returning. If we can be tougher outs at the plate, we can be very successful this year.”

WoodmoreCoach: Jake Huss, first yearLast Year: 12-14 (4-10 NBC)Key Returnees: Brad Bringman, 3B/DH; Josh Cowell, INF/P; Erich Gruelich, C/1B; Jake Matwiejczyk, OF; Tristan Roth, INF/P, Tony Rozzi, OF; Evan Ulinski, INF/OF/PPreview: The senior trio of Evan Ulinski, Brad Bringman and Jake Matwiejczyk are the Wildcats’ top three returning hitters.

Ulinski hit .427 with 23 runs and stole 14 bases, Bringman had a .361 average and scored 17 runs and Matwiejczyk finished with a .352 aver-age and 16 RBIs.

On the mound, it will pitching by committee. Ulinski, Bringman, Matweijczyk join Josh Cowell, Erich Gruelich and Tristan Roth are the six pitchers who bring with them experience from last season.

Ulinski pitched 33.2 innings last year and finished with an ERA of 3.95 and Gruelich was 3-0 with a 2.47 ERA in 17 innings of work. Newcomers Logan Fonseca, Matt Depner, Connor Bringman and Ross Wolford will also be expected to contribute.

For first-year coach Jake Huss, it’s the opportunity to lead the varsity after eight years running junior varsity squads and working as a varsity assistant at both Woodmore and Lakota.

“The guys are working hard,” Huss said, “and I’m happy with that. They want to get better, they want to learn. One of my big things is getting the little things right, and that’s probably one of the things we need to care of and fix.”

Oak HarborCoach: Rob Schimmoeller, 10th yearLast year: 15-10 (6-8 SBC)Key returnees: Andy Rathbun, Sr., SS; Logan Winke, Sr., OF/P; Ben Genzman, Sr., P/DH; Jourdan Maguire, Jr., OF/P; Garrett Harvey, Jr., 1B/P; Dillon Pollard, Jr., IF/P; Mike Osbourne, Jr., CPreview: Top newcomers are expected to be senior infielder David Birchall, junior infielder Ryan Pavlica and sophomores

Caleb Turco (outfield), Kyle Pape (catcher), Kyle Uher (pitcher) and David Tooman (infielder).

“Most of our pitching innings have graduated, so throwing strikes will be the

key to our success,” said Schimmoeller, in his 10th year at Oak Harbor. “The rotation will likely include Logan Winke, Garrett Harvey, Jourdan Maguire and Kyle Uher, with relief provided by Dillon Pollard, Ryan Pavlica and Ben Genzman.”

Last season, Rathbun hit .341 with 25 runs and 20 RBI, and he was second on the team with 17 steals. Winke batted .287 with a team-high eight doubles, 16 runs and 24 RBI.

“We have several quality hitters who gained a bit of varsity experience last season, led by Logan Winke and Andy Rathbun,” Schimmoeller said. “As a group, we are inexperienced but we do possess very good speed this season. Defensively we should be improved from 2013 based on what I have seen thus far in practice, with outfield play being a strength.”

It’s been a down couple years for the Toledo Mud Hens with last year’s squad fi nishing 61-83, but things appear on the rise. The Tigers’ Double A Team, the Erie Seawolves, made the playoffs and several of the organizations top prospects have graduated to the Hens. Hitting and starting pitching were poor for the Hens but those days are over with the additions of Mike Hessman, Bruce Fields, Robby Ray, Drew Verhagen, and Ezequiel Carrera. Tigers General Manager Dave Dom-browski made a controversial trade in the offseason sending solid big league pitcher Doug Fister to the Washington Nationals for top pitching prospect Robby Ray who will start the year with the Hens. The 22-year-old left-handed starter is ranked as the top prospect in the farm system. Ray led all of Washington’s minor leaguers with 160 strikeouts while pitching at two levels and was 11-5 with a 3.36 ERA. Catcher James McCann is the organiza-tions ninth best prospect and was promoted from Erie. He hit .277 with eight home runs and 54 RBIs and is known for his strong de-fense and leadership skills with the pitch-ing staff. Six-foot-6 Drew VerHagen is a right-handed starter that also came from Erie and is ranked as the Tigers 13th best prospect. He was 7-8 with a 2.90 ERA between two levels and has fl own through the Tigers farm system since being drafted in the fourth round in 2012 out of Vanderbilt. Another Erie import, center fi elder Daniel Fields, is the Tigers 18th best pros-pect. Fields is the son of Tigers’ Roving Hitting Instructor Bruce Fields and was signed out of high school for $1.6 million in 2009. He hit .284 with 10 HR, 58 RBIs and 24 stolen bases. Welcome back long time Mud Hen and fan favorite Hessman. A major contributor on the Hens during their playoff hey days, Hessman was the IL MVP in 2007 hitting

31 HR and 101 RBIs for the Hens. He is 36 years old, but the 6-5 power hitting veteran still hit 35 homers in 2012 and 25 homers in 2013. Mud Hens fi rst baseman Jordan Lennerton, along with two other players in the Detroit Tigers’ organization — Wade Gaynor and Jason Krizan, were among the nine Minor League Baseball players who were chosen as recipients of a 2013 Rawlings Gold Glove Award for defensive excellence at their position. Last year marked Lennerton’s fi rst season with the Hens and his sixth profes-sional season after being selected by the Tigers in the 33rd round of the 2009 draft.

Last season he represented the Tigers at the MLB Futures Game and participated in the 2013 Triple-A All-Star Game. Position grades Here are my grades by position: Infi eld — the addition of McCann and Hessman help the offense tremendously. Paired with Lennerton, who hit .278 with 17 HR and 57 RBIs with the Hens, the of-fense is greatly improved. Former Tigers Hernan Perez and Danny Worth along with Chet Lemon’s kid, Marcus Lemon, will man the middle infi eld. Grade B+ Outfi eld — Carrera stole 43 bases last year and paired with Fields gives the Tigers

much needed speed. J.D. Martinez, who’s had some solid big league seasons with the Rangers has hit well in the minors in the past with numerous seasons over .300. Ben Guez and his 18 homers returns. There’s also the chance power hitting prospect Tyler Collins, currently with the Tigers, sees some time here once Andy Dirks re-turns from injury. Grade B Starting pitching — the staff is head-lined by prospects Ray and VerHagen, but looks deep top to bottom. Kyle Lobstein, Blaine Hardy, Derek Hankins and Duane Below all return. Lobstein was 6-3 with 3.48 ERA. Blaine Hardy was 6-1 with a 1.69 ERA. Below was 6-7 with a 2.44 ERA. Hankins was 4-4 with a 3.03 ERA. There’s depth and some low ERA’s here. Solid group. Grade A Relief Pitching — Melvin Mercedes is the Tigers 16th ranked prospect. He can throw up to 99 miles-per-hour and was 2-1 with 12 saves and a 1.44 ERA. He and Jose Ortega may get some chances to close. Ortega is another hard thrower who struck out 56 in 48.1 innings and had a 1.86 ERA for the Hens. He pitched 11.2 innings with the Tigers and had a 3.86 ERA. Jhan Martinez, a free agent signing, is a strikeout pitcher that routinely averages more than a strikeout an inning and has put up some impressive minor league numbers. Long time Tiger starter Nate Robertson has changed his delivery and is converting him-self into a situational lefty. Casey Crosby, Justin Miller, Eduardo Sanchez, and Kenny Faulk will also contribute. Grade A- On paper, this is an impressive look-ing squad. There’s a lot of talent on the pitching staff and they have signifi cantly upgraded their offense. Let those weekend fi reworks fl y, Toledo, the Hens are back and will contend this season. They’ll get above .500 and be in the race for the division title.

The Mud Hens are retooled and poised for turnaround THE PRESS APRIL 7, 2014 19

In My Opinion

by AJ Szozda

Eastwood


13 straight titles and counting?By Mark Griffi n Press Contributing [email protected]

Eastwood’s boys’ track and fi eld team gained coach Brian Sabo’s respect before the 2014 season even started.

“We’ve only been inside once, because of the weather, in the last three weeks,” Sabo said. “They have given great effort so far. They do their job and they work ex-tremely hard at it. As a coach, you respect and appreciate that.”

Nikki Sabo, Brian’s wife and the Eagles’ girls coach, could say the same thing about her squad. What they can both brag about is the fact that both Eastwood teams have won 13 straight league or conference ti-tles, including the last two in the Northern Buckeye Conference.

The Eagles don’t plan to let that streak end anytime soon.

“They just come out and work every day,” Nikki said. “The conditions have been horrible and they’re just working hard and giving the best they can and handling the conditions the best they can. We’re more well rounded than we have been in the past. We have picked up our depth in the distance events, and our fi eld events are going to be strong again.”

Brian said the boys’ squad, which took district runner-up honors before winning a Division II regional title last spring, fea-tures 65 athletes. The girls’ team, which placed fourth at the district meet, has 50 athletes.

Eastwood’s boys have a handful of ju-niors and seniors who have been contrib-uting to the program ever since they were freshmen.

That list includes senior sprinters Steven Bruning, Brent Schlumbohm, Ben Church, Jake Hoodlebrink and Joe Salinas, and juniors Brennan Seifert, Devin Snowden and Grant Geiser.

Sophomore John Bowlus will compete in the 200 and 400.

Snowden’s specialty is the 300-meter hurdles and he also competes in the 110 hurdles, long jump and 4x100 and 4x400 relays. Snowden, Bruning and Seifert were on the 4x100 team that placed sixth at last year’s state meet; Snowden won a region-al title in the 300s before taking seventh at state in that event.

Salinas, Snowden and senior Gabe Fredericks all ran on the Eagles’ 4x400 re-lay that took fourth at the state meet.

Jake Hoodlebrink competes in the long jump, high jump, 400 and 4x200 relay and jumped a career best 22 feet, 2 inches at the state indoor meet. He was a regional quali-fi er in the 400 as a junior.

“Last year his best jump was 21-7, in-doors or outdoors,” Brian Sabo said. “He’s just so much more athletic, stronger, faster. I’m very excited to see his times this year.”

Seifert will be expected to score in all of the open sprints and with the 4x100 re-lay.

“He’s one of those guys who has been counted on since his freshman year, just be-cause of his speed,” Brian Sabo said. “He also long jumps, and he is a puzzle piece you can fi t all over the place. It’s going to be fun to see him progress, being an upper-classman.”

The Eagles’ main distance runners are Fredericks and junior Tim Hoodlebrink. Fredericks can run the 400, 800 and 1600 along with the 4x400 and 4x800 relays.

“I have a lot of confi dence in him,” Brian Sabo siad. “He’s primarily going to be in the 4x800, 400 and 4x400. Those will be his specialties. He’s tough enough to run all the way up to the two-mile. He’s done it before. He’s always been a great piece to the team.”

Junior Tim Hoodlebrink, who placed fourth behind three seniors in the 800 at last year’s state meet, returns in that event and will compete on the 4x800 relay.

“He expects big things out of himself and so do we,” Brian Sabo sad. “He runs harder in races than most people I’ve ever seen. He hates to lose and he just keeps go-ing until he literally runs out of gas. I really appreciate that from him.”

Junior Noah Smith and sophomore Sam Church will compete in the 4x800, while junior Zach Jacoby returns in the dis-cus and 110 hurdles. Junior Abram Reyes, who took second in the pole vault at last year’s NBC meet, returns in that event.

Senior Steve Bradley will high jump, while senior Jacob Rahe and juniors Jack Heckman and Caleb Tussing throw the shot and discus.

“We felt we were pretty young last year,” Brian Sabo said. “I feel we know a lot about this team. The exciting part is there are some young guys and it’s time for some of them to have their turn. I’m excited to see what they do with it.”

Nikki Sabo said she expects senior Maddie Jackson to be the leading scorer on the Eagles’ girls team. Jackson competes in everything from the 100 to the 800 and was on the conference champion 4x100 and 4x400 relays last year. She placed third in the 800 at the district meet and also helped Eastwood win the 4x100 district title.

“She’s very versatile and she leads by example,” Nikki Sabo said. “She will give you everything she has and she is a fi erce competitor. You couldn’t ask for a better role model for your younger kids.”

Eastwood’s other sprinters include ju-niors Reagan Boice, Elena Kirkbride, Kortni Montag and Jayme Evans, who also long jumps. Jackson and Boice ran on the 4x100 relay last year.

“That will be the nuts and bolts of our sprint crew,” Nikki Sabo said. “Any of them could run relays. We mix them up a lot just to try to fi nd the right combination.”

The distance runners are comprised of junior Meagan Kaminski, sophomore Sarah Bettinger and freshman Hannah Sponaugle, the NBC cross country champion.

“She’ll make an impact right away,” Nikki Sabo said. “She’ll do pretty well and will go anywhere from the 800 to the two-mile.”

The fi eld events should be strong with seniors Elise Wolff and Emily Hayward. Wolff took sixth in the pole vault at region-als last year and was a regional qualifi er in the 100 hurdles. Hayward took third in the shot at the NBC meet and placed fi fth at districts last year.

Eastwood opened the season on Tuesday at Clay, with the boys winning 108-25 and the girls losing to Clay by a 68-60 margin.
