Last year, Clay High School freshman Ally Hommel was asked to paint the names of 45 soldiers who died in battle.

For her, it became much more than painting names of fallen heroes.

The 45 names, who all attended Clay, went next to the Freedom Shrine mural and plaques on the wall across from social stud-ies teacher Chris Klosterman’s room.

It took Hommel 18 months, but with the help of art teacher Kristin Wamer, Ally not only painted their names in a color cod-ed serif font, she took the project further.

Hommel decided she wanted to know more about these soldiers, so she began re-searching their lives. She says it changed her “in a positive way.”

It wasn’t until 300 people showed up for the Annual Clay Alumni Memorial Concert on May 21 that Klosterman real-ized how much Hommel’s research affected her. Ally, who just completed her sopho-more year at Clay, was a guest speaker.

“Ally got up, and I didn’t how much this hit her,” Klosterman said. “I’m stand-ing in the audience out there. I got dead center — I wanted to get some eye contact with her to kind of reassure her, and she got halfway through it and her voice broke and cracked. She gave way, but she got through it, and I would be surprised if there was a dry eye there.”

Part of Hommel’s speech went like this, “It was an experience that forever changed me and that I’ll never forget. When I was fi rst asked by Mr. Klosterman to paint the names of Clay’s fallen soldiers outside of his room, I was actually pretty nervous, but curious.

“I thought of myself as a pretty artistic person, but had never done anything close to what he was thinking. When I accepted his offer, it was the beginning of a very long and emotional journey.”

She continued, “When I started getting more comfortable with the wall, making stencils, and painting the names, it was an awesome feeling. But, there was part of me reaching for a deeper relationship with it. I needed to get to know these men. I needed to see their faces, know who they were and learn what had happened to them.

“I got some of the old yearbooks and started searching. I was looking through and I still remember seeing their faces for

Although it’s months away, the Oregon City School District is rallying community support of a 3.95-mill levy that will be on the November ballot. Voters have rejected three previous at-tempts by the district to get an operating levy passed The fi nancially strapped dis-trict would collect $1.9 million annually if the levy passes. It would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $138 annually. Voters have rejected three previous at-tempts by the district to get an operating levy passed The last time voters approved an operating levy was in 2008 when a 5.9-mill levy was passed. If the 3.95-mill levy is approved by voters this fall, the revenue would provide the district’s 3,800 students continued ac-cess to elementary art and the fi tness club, intermediate school 6th grade camp, junior high Washington, DC trip, high school mu-sicals, athletics, and marching band, ac-cording to Superintendent Hal Gregory. “It will allow Clay High School to re-main a comprehensive high school provid-ing local career-technical programming, keeping Clay students at Clay. Career tech-nical programs serve over 50 percent of all junior and senior students and impact nearly 75 percent of all students at Clay,”

Oregon

Schools organize support for levy

said Gregory. “Our community has come to expect and has always supported these activities,” he said. “The outcome of the November levy will determine the future of these activities and programs. Our community leaders understand the critical nature of support for the levy. With community sup-port, the district will continue providing all current activities for students both in and out of the classroom.” The district has reduced spending for many years, having one of the lowest “cost per pupil” in the area, lower than the state average, according to Gregory. The district, he added, has been “hit very hard” by how state taxes are distributed to schools over the years. “We have adjusted accordingly, and now need additional funds to sustain current activities.” Public schools are required by law to have a positive fi nancial balance in its bud-

get at the end of each year. “There are only two options available to address our fi nan-cial situation: Raise revenue from local lev-ies, or reduce expenditures with personnel reductions,” he said. Without additional revenue, the dis-trict will have “diffi cult decisions” to make, he said, including: • The implementation of a plan to shift Clay High School Career Technical pro-gramming and personnel costs to a joint vo-cational school, which would result in an automatic 3.2-mill un-voted property tax in Oregon/Jerusalem Township going directly to the joint vocational school. • Personnel and busing for programs and activities beyond the standard school day would be reduced, including elementa-ry and intermediate clubs and junior high/high school musicals, athletics and march-ing band; • Actual costs of using schools facili-ties would be charged to outside groups. In addition, if the levy is defeated, the amount of millage needed to sustain current programs dramatically increas-es, potentially doubling next May, said Gregory. The district continues to lose money due to a reduction in property taxes and the state government phasing out tangible per-sonal property taxes for businesses, which created budgetary shortfalls for Oregon and many other school districts in Ohio.

It will allow Clay High School to remain a

comprehensive high school...

Management of the Pat Catan’s Craft Centers plans to open a new store in Oregon by October. The Strongsville, Ohio-based com-pany has an agreement to lease a build-ing on Navarre Avenue, according to Craig Catanzarite, who oversees the company’s retail development efforts. “There is a lot of work to do,” he said. “The owner is putting in a new ceiling and fl oor as well as paint. We’re going to have a classroom in there where we’ll teach craft classes and scrapbooking. We’re also going to have a custom frame shop.” He said the building is about 45,000 square feet, placing it among the compa-ny’s larger stores. “Our average size store is probably closer to 35,000 square feet. So this is a big commitment,” Catanzarite said. The company plans to install shelv-ing at the site by mid-August followed by stocking of inventory. Catanzarite said the company has been looking to open a site in the Toledo area. “We try to fi nd opportunities in Ohio that aren’t too far from our distribution center where there might be a need or a gap and not much competition,” he said.

“We more or less saw a need for a craft store in that market. We carry a broad selection. We’re very good in jewelry and wedding supplies and fl oral. We’ll have a pretty good size room so kids can have birthday parties there.” According to its website, the com-pany has 28 stores in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and W. Virginia, including out-lets in Monroe, Mich. and Sandusky, O.

“We do well in the Monroe market and we’ve never tried anything in the Toledo area so we thought it was a good opportu-nity,” Catanzarite said. According to the Lucas County Auditor’s website, the property is owned by the Joseph Brothers Co. A Food Town grocery store was located at the site until Spartan Foods began selling stores around 2003.

the fi rst time and I had such an overwhelm-ing feeling that tears started to fi ll my eyes. To think that some of these men were soph-omores, juniors, and seniors is a big part that gets me. That the boys I know, or that I’m friends with, could be in the same posi-tion as all these men were, it’s very scary and also an honoring feeling.

“I also got ahold of a book of the men and some of their information — things like the year they graduated or last went to school, what branch they were in, what ac-tivities they were involved in, their awards, and what happened to them on the their last day. Not all of the men had their stories about how they died, but some did. Reading their stories and imaging how their families and friends must have felt was by far more diffi cult than any other task in this project.

“This wall has a very deep and hon-orable meaning to not only these men, but

also every veteran here and in the United States. These men to me are my absolute heroes. Every soldier who is fi ghting still, has fought, or who lost their life fi ghting is the bravest and most honorable men to me. They do and have done all of this for what we have today as a country.”

Hommel’s addition of 45 names to the Freedom Shrine has already been criti-cally acclaimed by her art teacher, Kristin Wamer, of course.

“I think it’s fabulous — it’s gorgeous, beautiful to look at — the way that she has laid it out, the color coating,” Wamer said. “You look at it, and it’s a work of art, but there’s more to it that allows you to stop and refl ect, and kind of dig a little deeper. I know that it’s caused us to talk about how we can take this to the next step.

“She really got to know each person, a little about them to kind of honor them as she painted their name. She really took to heart their story. I just think it changed Ally. Obviously, she’s matured in 18 months as any student would, but she’s really taken a look at what others in our community have given and how it changed their life.”

Meaning of historyKlosterman, Wamer, and Principal

Jim Jurski said Ally had no idea how long the artistic part of this project would take. It was an addition to a project that began when the high school was renovated years ago.

“As a freshman, I don’t think she un-derstood what she was getting herself into,” Klosterman said. “I didn’t either — how big and how complex, but we wanted to do it right, and we needed to take our time and lay it out. There was a lot of plan-ning that went into it. There was probably just as much planning as the actual time painting.”

Of the 45 fallen heroes, 33 were killed in World War II, eight in Vietnam, one in Korea, and three died “in service to their country.” Each name is color-coded to match the war or confl ict the soldier served, and the names correspond to the names on the World War II and Korean memorials at the entrance to Clay Memorial Stadium.

“This is quite a project for her. She did a very nice job,” Jurski said. “Before our addition, this portion — the plaques, the Freedom Shrine was down by our gymna-sium and when we redid our building and

added on, we brought the plaques up front and our art teacher painted the fl ag as a background and things like that, and Mr. Klosterman came up with the idea last year about adding our ‘fallen’ to the wall.”

Klosterman said he knew Hommel was the right person for this project when she fi rst started taking his class.

“She was a freshman, but I saw some-thing in her in my history class when I was talking about historical things — you can sometimes see some depth in kids who are very special and they ‘get’ the meaning of history,” Klosterman said.

“I just saw someone with some depth to her. It’s the only word I can think of, and then I heard multiple times that she was artistic. I thought, ‘That’s the type of per-

son who can do this.’ So, I threw it out to her and she said, ‘Yeah.’ I didn’t know how complex it would be. I know Mrs. Wamer did, but I don’t think Ally did, but it turned out fantastic.”

Not all of the “fallen” received diplo-mas because some left school to fi ght over-seas during WWII. However, there could be more names not yet discovered, or, God for-bid, there are Clay students serving in the Middle East this day and everyone prays they will stay out harm’s way. And, who knows what lies in our country’s future?

“I already thought of that, and I told Ally at the Clay memorial concert that if that happens, we are going to track her down and ask her to come back and add that name to the wall,” Klosterman said.

Woodmore schools

Board appointsnew memberBy Larry LimpfNews [email protected]

The Woodmore school board has a new member and differing legal opinions on whether he was appointed to the seat in accordance with state law. During a special May 31 meeting Steve Huss, board president, and Julie Bowman and Corinna Bench voted to appoint Dan Hoppe to the seat vacated last month by Grant Cummings. Board member Joe Liszak said Monday he declined to attend the meeting and in-formed other board members by email of his intent to not participate in the vote after receiving an opinion from Norm Solze, as-sistant Sandusky County prosecutor, on the appointment procedure. In a May 29 email to Liszak, Solze states he agrees with an earlier opinion by Jim Stucko, an attorney with a Columbus law fi rm retained by the school board, which says state law requires a school board to fi ll a vacancy no sooner than 10 days from when the seat was offi cially va-cated but within 30 days of the vacancy. Another provision requires a board to act on a vacancy during its next regular or special meeting after the 10-day start date becomes effective and before the 30-day limit. If the seat isn’t fi lled during that time, the appointment would be made by a pro-bate court. The Stucko opinion says, “If the board fi lled the vacancy during its second meet-ing after the vacancy was created, even if it was still within the 10 to 30 day window, it would not comply with the statute.” Mark Mulligan, Ottawa County pros-ecutor, also concurred with Stucko’s opin-ion after being asked by Liszak last month to research the matter. The board’s fi rst regular meeting after Cummings resigned was May 19 but the three board members present, Huss, Bench and Liszak couldn’t reach agreement on a candidate, prompting Huss to schedule the special meeting. Another attorney retained by the board, Tim McCarthy, offered a differing opinion during that meeting that cleared the way for the board to vote on Hoppe, who was one of fi ve persons to seek the ap-pointment. Sandusky County Probate Judge Brad Smith told The Press if a Woodmore res-ident or board member were to challenge the appointment it wouldn’t be decided by the probate court. “In essence, that would have to be challenged through a lawsuit or an appeal of some type if they think the board acted inappropriately,” he said. “None of those things come to my offi ce just because I’m the one who fi lls the vacancy.” In the seven years he’s been probate judge, he’s never had to fi ll a school board vacancy, the judge said.

Oregon police have applied for a grant from the 2015 Bulletproof Vest Program to replace four bullet-proof vests. Oregon road patrol offi cers are required to wear the armored vests, according to Police Chief Mike Navarre. The grant provides a 50 percent match for the purpose of purchasing the vests for offi cers this year and in 2016. The Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) was created by the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Act of 1998, an initia-tive by the U.S. Department of Justice. The Offi ce of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance administers the BVP program. The city has annually applied for, and received, grant funding under the program since 1999 for the replacement of bullet-proof vests. Last year, the city received $4,796. The maximum grant amount the city could receive this year is $9,900. Grant awards previously received by the city ranged from $811 in 2000 to as high as $6,300 in 2011. City council authorized the mayor and fi nance director to apply for the grant at the last council meeting on May 26. More in 2016 “We anticipate using it for four re-placements in 2015,” Navarre said at the

City seeks grant to replace bullet-proof vestsmeeting. “In 2016, the number is going to be much higher -16 replacements. So it’s a good program that provides fi nancial ben-efi ts to cities to make sure that police of-fi cers have the best equipment. In the city of Oregon, we do mandate that each offi cer wear a bullet-proof vest when they are out on road patrol.” Councilman James Seaman said the deterioration of the vests is the reason to replace the vests rather than “impact is oc-curring on a lot of vests.” “As time goes by, the vest deterio-rates,” said Seaman. Navarre said the vests are replaced when they reach the manufacturer’s war-ranty. “There’s a lot of debate over whether or not those vests are still good. In fact, there’s a lot of departments that buy the old vests or are given old vests by departments. It’s better to have one beyond the warranty than not to have one at all,” said Navarre. “It’s better to be safe than sorry,” said Seaman.

Juvenile diversion Council also approved the renewal of

the contract of the case manager who han-dles all referrals to the ACHIEVE Juvenile Diversion Program for the police depart-ment. Irene Renee Jardy, who works 20 hours per week, has been the program’s case man-ager since June 2007. She is paid an hourly rate of $23. The 18-year-old program allows youths 7-17-years-old who have committed misdemeanors to undergo counseling and participate in community services to avoid jail. Youths must sign contracts and follow a set of goals to successfully complete the program. If the contracts are not completed, the youths go back to the juvenile court sys-tem and end up with police records. Navarre said Jardy has done an excel-lent job. “She’s been very successful. Last year, there was a total of 51 referrals, an increase from 32 the year before,” said Navarre. “Of those 51 cases she administered, 45 con-tracts were signed with the juveniles and their parents, and 31 were successfully completed. So that’s a pretty good success rate. She does a very fi ne job for us.”

nspirational essage of the eek: Envy is a Bitter Root

Your

message

could be

here!

See you in church!

Perhaps nothing tears at the social fabric like envy.

Comparing ourselves to others will invariably make us

feel either arrogant and superior or bitter and inferior.

When we compare favorably to others we’re likely to feel

superior and therefore risk being arrogant, while

comparing unfavorably to others is likely to make us

bitter and feel dejected. Life is not a contest, and while it

is only normal to want to know how we did on the test

relative to other students, or how much we earn relative

to our colleagues, invariably we are not going to be at the

top of every list, or perhaps even at the top of any list.

Most of us are going to be bunched up around the

middle, and that's okay. Envy is not only a root of

bitterness at work and in school, but often also within

families. Sibling rivalry is natural, and competition can

be a good thing, but many families have lasting scars

from sibling rivalry that was taken too far, and envious

feelings often outlast childhood. So put a check on your

envy by avoiding unhealthy comparisons. You’re fine

just the way you are. – Christopher Simon. For you

created my inmost being; you knit me together in my

mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and

wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that

full well. —Psalm 139:13-14

And more..

Bat researchResearchers from the University of Akron and Kent State University have been studying the migratory patterns of bats at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. Us-ing mist nets to capture the nocturnal creatures, researchers collect data from three species of tree-roosting bats such as body weight and length. They install miniature radio transmitters on their backs to follow their movements. Heidi Hughes, execu-tive director of the refuge, said that compared to birds and insects, little is known about the seasonal movements of bats. Pictured, Shaylin Hatch, University of Akron researcher, removes a big brown bat from the mist net as refuge volunteer Becky Shortridge of Port Clinton, watches.

Gospel concert Enjoy an afternoon of music and fam-ily activities Sunday, June 14 during the Gospel Music Concert and Faith & Family Day at Sauder Village, Archbold. During the afternoon concert, the sounds of gospel music will fi ll the air as the 3rd Row Boys and Freedom Quartet perform in Founder’s Hall. Pianist Jim Stewart will open the concert at 3:30 p.m. The 3rd Row Boys was founded by four young men from Indianapolis, Indiana who sang together on the third row of their church choir. Realizing their love for har-mony and a desire to sing and minister out-side the walls of their local church, the 3rd Row Boys ministry was born. The group includes Mark Heskett, Aaron Baker, Josh Ranke and Brandon Tiek. New this year, Sauder Village has also planned a “Faith and Family Day” as part of the annual Gospel Music Concert event. Throughout the afternoon guests can enjoy special music in the Holdeman Church and hymn singing in St. Mark’s Church. There will be old-fashioned games to play on the Village Green, free face painting and even a fun lamb craft activity for children to make. For more information, call 800-590-9755, visit www.saudervillage.org or fol-low the village on Facebook or Twitter and Instagram.

Disappointment happens, misery is a choice

A cautionary tale To the editor: Congratulations to all you new graduates. You’ve spent countless dollars and plenty of time and effort getting your diploma; now come the job interviews. Allow me to tell you a cautionary tale that may save you some time, money and aggravation. A young bride and her army soldier husband are out of state. He has served his country well with multiple de-ployments into active war zones. She is employed, college-educated and smart. Money is tight; they have been married for less than a year. They are preparing for his discharge from the army and are both actively seeking employment in our area in anticipation of moving home. The bride is overjoyed to ob-tain an interview with a reputable Toledo area non-profi t. The phone interview went well and she made it to the next round – the in-person interview. The non-profi t gave her less than a week to book a fl ight and be in their facil-ity for an interview. She had never fl own and had no experience with long-distance interviewing. The lowest fare didn’t work with her schedule so she scheduled the only other direct fl ight available. The non-profi t asked her to pay for her travel with her credit card and said they would reimburse her for the expense. They didn’t give her any indication of a cap on these expenses or ask her to confi rm the cost with them before booking. She fl ew in, had the interview and they wrote her a check for the total amount of the fl ight. They told her they weren’t surprised by the cost of her fl ight because of the short no-tice. Her family members provided all her extensive transportation to and from the airports, housing and meals. After a long day of interviewing and travel, she arrived home to an email that was written after the non-profi t interviewed the three fi nalists. They now told her they were stopping payment on the check and would reissue another check for a fraction of the amount the fl ight had cost, leaving her on the hook for the balance. They no longer respond to her attempts to contact them and she has received no payment at all. So, graduates and job-seekers, take this advice: when you are asked to travel for an interview with any company, make certain that you fully and effectively communicate your travel arrangements and expense in advance. Don’t agree to pay for these ex-penses yourself and expect a reimburse-ment that possibly won’t ever be paid. I hope this saves you and other job-seek-ers from experiencing a similar situation.

Have you heard of the Export-Import Bank? It’s little-known yet high on the list of special-interest priorities these days. Created in 1934, this government agen-cy loans money to foreign buyers of Ameri-can products and gives U.S. exporters loan guarantees. It also provides financing for ventures that supposedly can’t get private backing. Backers of the bank claim that it sup-ports U.S. jobs. In reality, it’s a favor factory for politically well-connected corporations trolling for handouts. Indeed, the bank is a poster child for special interest favoritism. Nearly two-thirds of total assistance Ex-Im provided in 2013 went to just 10 international conglomerates — including General Electric, Caterpillar, and especial-ly Boeing. The aviation company reaped more than 30 percent of the benefits on its own. And a look at the largest buyers of subsidized exports from the last few years shows a list of highly capitalized and highly profitable foreign companies. They certainly don’t need U.S. taxpayer subsi-dies to buy American products. Ex-Im’s financial commitments are backed by the Treasury’s full faith and credit. In the case of default, it’s taxpayers who are on the hook. Currently Ex-Im has more than $140 billion in liabilities. Unfortunately, the bank has a poor track record, losing more than $5 billion in the 1980s alone — back when billions meant something. Since then, both the Government Accountability Office and the Inspector General have repeatedly criti-cized the agency for shoddy management,

bad accounting, and faulty risk analysis. Now, using realistic accounting mea-sures, the Congressional Budget Office esti-mates that it could inflict at least $2 billion in losses to taxpayers. Even that’s assuming the next 10 years are free of major shocks to the world economy — especially in the airlines or oil and gas development sectors, where the bank has the most exposure. There’s practically no gain for tax-payers. Using the bank’s own numbers, which have been roundly criticized, proj-ects Ex-Im backed in 2013 accounted for a mere 2 percent of U.S. exports and even less of export-dependent jobs. Those modest figures don’t take into account the jobs the bank kills when pri-vate capital follows government subsidies to less efficient companies, or when jobs are cut by unsubsidized competitors who lose sales or must pay more to get loans. Recent estimates put the tab for these hidden downstream costs at nearly $3 bil-lion a year. Much like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Federal Crop Insurance Program, and the Department of Energy’s Title XVII loan guarantees — which gave us Solyndra and put taxpayers on the hook for a $6 billion faulty nuclear project — the “Bank of Boeing” is a Washington scheme where politically well-connected companies get a sweet deal while taxpayers foot the bill. It

privatizes profits and socializes risks. The bank’s authorization is set to expire on June 30, and big exporters are lobbying hard to get Congress to reautho-rize it. Instead, lawmakers should give tax-payers some relief — and let this Depres-sion-era dinosaur expire.

Disappointment is inevitable, but misery is a choice. Disappointment is a temporary reaction to a setback, whereas misery is a longer term emotional state. Disappointment is linked to a specifi c situ-ation, whereas misery becomes a way of life. Not everything you attempt will work as planned. Although it is disappointing to stumble and fall, when channeled proper-ly, disappointment is transformed into mo-tivation. Motivation is the drive needed to continue moving toward success regardless of setbacks. Misery results when disappointment becomes a way of life. Feeling sorry for yourself, lamenting the past, blaming other people or circumstances, and mak-ing excuses are some causes of misery. Disappointment turns into misery when you continually make excuses for failure by assigning blame. A constantly negative outlook leads to misery. Questions and statements such as “Why does this always happen to me?” “It’s so unfair,” “Nothing I do matters,” and “Nothing I do ever works,” are indicators of a misery generating attitude. Failure only occurs when you give up. Therefore, when your efforts don’t produce the desired results, you have not failed as long as you keep moving forward. A feeling of helplessness feeds misery. Throwing up your hands in despair claim-ing “There’s nothing I can do,” causes you to give up. Although disappointment is frustrating, you don’t have to turn it into misery.

Worrying about anything, whether it be the past, present, or future, is a com-plete waste of time which leads to misery. The past can’t be changed but it shows you what worked and what didn’t. The present and future are shaped by the actions you start taking now. Idly wishing and hoping for circumstances to improve causes misery. A positive, can do attitude, combined with proactivity prevents disappointment from turning into misery. When faced with disappointment, determine your next posi-tive step. Being able to answer the ques-tion, “Where do I go from here?” gets you back up and ready to move forward. A plan of action is the best misery prevention. Understanding what went wrong and why, allows you to intelligently chart a course for moving forward. This is the process of self-monitoring. It entails being constantly aware of the cause and effect re-lationships which impact your results. Accurate self-monitoring requires un-biased objectivity in order to make the best possible decisions. Misery clouds your ability to accurately analyze what has oc-curred and why, along with deciding what your next step should be. Misery is repelled by focusing on a strategy for moving forward. Let go of any

excuses for failure you are holding on to. Instead, concentrate only on reasons to suc-ceed. The benefi ts of success far outweigh the consequences of failure. You can prevent disappointment from turning into misery. This is accomplished by changing your outlook. Simply put, to move past disappointment determine your next step forward. Conversely, feeling sorry for yourself pushes you into misery. Disappointment can be utilized as a springboard to success. Misery, howev-er, keeps you in an ever deepening hole. Misery is obsessing about all the things you think you can’t do and all of the things you think don’t or won’t work. Whenever you stumble or fall, pick yourself up, shake yourself off and keep going. Change strategy, adjust course, and make corrections as needed. Life is fl uid. There are always new things to learn. Not everything you do will work as expected. Disappointment is a normal oc-currence. Use disappointment to boost your perseverance, determination, and drive. Misery need not be a way of life. Regardless of where you are or what has already hap-pened, you have the ability to move for-ward on a better path.

Opinion The Press

Most Americans bend religion to fi t personal or family needs. In my Catholic family, for example, we have welcomed Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist and Jewish spouses. Love trumped religion in our family. This is not unusual, according to the recent Pew Study on religion in America. Thirty-nine percent of couples who have married since 2010 are in a religiously mixed mar-riage. This compares to 19 percent of cou-ples who married before 1960. Switching religions is also common. Thirty-four percent of American adults cur-rently have a religious identity different from the one in their childhood. This latest Pew study of more than 35,000 Americans doesn’t go into detail of why people change religion, but I have a few thoughts. Lifestyle more, than doctrine, de-termines the choice for those who have switched. Some religions are more tolerant than others, some more conservative. Some say same-sex marriage, okay; others say not so much. Some say women ministers okay, some say no. Some believe performing good deeds and living an exemplary life can help achieve heaven, others believe you can only reach heaven by being born again and good deeds are irrelevant. Many parents, as the study suggest, be-lieve it is better to raise children under one religion rather than two. Confusion is elim-inated, solidarity enhanced. They believe there is more than one path to eternal life.

They also believe religion reinforces the common decency laws of society—don’t steal, cheat, lie, kill, screw around or de-sire your neighbors possessions or his wife. And, do honor your father and your mother. It benefi ts society to reinforce these Christian commandments. Thus, some of the fi ndings of the Pew study sound a cau-tionary bell for society. Since the fi rst Pew study on religion and public life in 2007, the percentage of Americans who call them-selves Christian has dropped from 78.4 per-cent to 70.6 percent this year. The survey polled more than 35,000 Americans and has a sampling error of 0.6 percentage points. In other words, we may want to pay attention. The losers? Catholicism showed the biggest de-cline. “No other religious group in the sur-vey has such a lopsided ratio of losses to gains,” a Pew spokesman stated. Nearly 13 percent of American adults are former Catholics. Mainline Protestant and historically Black Protestant religions also showed de-clines. Evangelical Protestant is the only

Christian religion that gained more mem-bers than it lost through switching. About 10 percent of U.S. adults identify them-selves as evangelicals after being raised in another religion. That more than offsets the eight percent of adults who were raised as evangelicals but left for another religion, or who no longer identify with any religion. In fact, those who identify themselves without a religion are growing all across the nation. Religious “nones” have increased from 13 to 19 percent in the South; 16 to 22 percent in the Midwest; 16 to 25 percent in the Northeast and 21 to 28 percent in the West. This decline is also evident locally. In April, First Presbyterian Church in Clay Center shuttered its doors and the Salvation Army started demolition on the old Second Baptist Church in East Toledo. In 2002, Bethany United Methodist Church in East Toledo merged with Unity United Methodist Church which was a merger of Oakdale and Euclid United Methodist Churches. In 2005, The Catholic Diocese announced the clos-ing of 17 parishes including Holy Rosary in East Toledo. In 2012, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in downtown Toledo merged with Trinity Episcopal. These are just a few examples of church closings and mergers since 2000. Another factor is that mega evangelical churches, such as Cedar Creek and Cornerstone, de-liver a religious message that has reso-nated with many members of traditional Protestant churches and siphoned off mem-

bership. What does this drop in Christianity mean for society? Robert Putnam, professor of public pol-icy at Harvard, wrote about the decline of so-cial capital in his 2000 book Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community. He concluded that the decline in membership of America’s clubs, organi-zations and churches will eventually lead to a disintegration of society. He cited tele-vision viewing habits, divorce, the move-ment of women into the workforce and sub-urban sprawl as reasons. He concluded communities with less social capital have lower educational per-formance and more teen pregnancy, sui-cide, prenatal mortality and crime. Local service clubs, such as the Rotary, Kiwanis and East Toledo Club, have all ex-perienced a decline in membership. A de-cline in volunteers has also been evident at such organizations as the Red Cross and the Salvation Army. These organizations and churches all add high touch to our high tech world. They supplement the safety net provided by busi-ness or government. This drop in Christianity is one more step in that zombie walk to a future in which we succumb to the lure of electron-ics and substitute a virtual community for that human touch.

Reduce your pain and relieve stress,

using your own body’s natural healing energies.

From the American Counseling Association

Many parents see schools’ summer va-cations as a time when their children can relax, have fun and escape the demands of the school year. But summer can also be a time of stress and anxiety for many chil-dren. As the schedules and known activities of the school year end, children face a sum-mer that may be full of uncertainty. It’s also a time of year when major changes are most likely to occur. Some changes are fairly minor – spend-ing a week with relatives, playing on a new soccer or baseball team, going to camp. But other changes, like moving to a new home or starting a new school at summer’s end, can be major. An important life skill is learning to handle change, but a great many children are “change-sensitive.” Confronted with something new or differ-ent, they may become overly nervous and anxious. That’s when parents can do things to reduce stress levels and help prepare children to better handle future changes and transitions. Start by discussing coming changes with the child. Most kids, even very young ones, quickly pick up clues of something different and then their imaginations can run wild. It’s important to discuss what will really be happening and when. Answering questions will help make the transition more understandable and less stressful. For younger children, it especially helps to provide the child with visual in-formation. For a new house, going there for a visit, or sharing pictures of a new bed-room, can help the child actually see what the change is bringing. For a new school, sports team or camp, again showing as much as possi-ble will lessen anxiety. Maybe it’s a walk around the school grounds or the new soc-cer fi eld. Maybe set up a short visit with a camp counselor or the new school’s coun-selor. It’s natural to feel anxious about new things. But provide your child with a little preparation, understanding and support, and his or her stress and anxiety will be much lower.

Making change less stressful for your children

By J. Patrick EakenPress Staff [email protected]

When you think of health, the fi rst thought is generally the well-being of a hu-man being; however the Mercy healthcare system considers the health of a person contingent on the health of a community. As a result, Mercy is hosting seminars for residents to improve safety and well-being in the neighborhoods surrounding Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center. Karen Rogalski, project coordinator for Mercy's Cherry Street Legacy Project, was hired by Mercy to teach Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), one of the principles used to teach land-lords, police and residents of those neigh-borhoods how to make neighborhoods safer. “To teach CPTED, Mercy Hospital actu-ally hosted crime-free multi-family housing seminars because one of the places that we see a lot of crime in is many rental proper-ties in the area. So, how do we begin system-atically to address that?” asked Rogalski. “There are lots of methodologies to be-gin to address those kinds of issues. Getting the landlords or investors involved, prac-ticing CPTED principles, teaching commu-nities how to do their own safety audit that can be data driven, and then they can un-derstand how much they can really impact their community.” Rogalski says it’s making a difference. “Our burglary rate, when we started this, was our highest crime in the area,” Rogalski said. “It’s no surprise — we are in an inner-city neighborhood. However, we’ve been able to reduce that by close to 50 percent, so burglary is clearly no longer the highest crime.” So, One Voice for East Toledo chair-person Jodi Gross invited Rogalski to share her expertise with residents on this side of town. At Locke Branch Library Tuesday, about 20 people showed up to hear Rogalski’s presentation. “The training was excellent in show-ing that it takes a community to work on safety,” Gross said. “We need a leader on each block, the eyes and ears of their area. The residents have the power to change their neighborhood. We now have a tool to audit our neighborhoods. The training gave us an auditing tool that we can conduct in our neighborhoods. “We are encouraging the attendees to audit their area and the group will focus on East Broadway between Starr and Nevada streets. A City of Toledo T-Town Action Week will take place in this area in August to assist with making change. One of the things that is important is cleaning up the blight, removing the problem that invites criminal acts to take place.”

Identify hot spots Bringing Rogalski to Locke Branch Library was part of a campaign by One Voice’s sub-committee on safety to iden-

Mercy says

Our health depends on community's health

tify hot spots for criminal activity in East Toledo. “We want to change the perception. It’s not all bad," Gross said. “Do we have some hot spots that need to be addressed? Yes. So, the biggest thing is engaging everybody in that process. So, if you live on East Broadway, we want you to be the eyes and ears for your street. So, the safety awareness campaign is going to help us identify those spots and report things if you see it. What exactly is preventing crime through environmental design, or CPTED? It is designed to enhance safety by altering physical design and encouraging positive social interaction. It’s an alternative to cre-ating a fortress-like community where we have to lock ourselves away.

“We really need all facets — we need the Toledo police, we need the churches, we need the schools, and we need residents,” Gross said. “Residents are important be-cause they are the eyes and ears. If we don’t have them invested in what we are doing, so we are doing this training, and because it’s environmental — you know, cutting the bushes down, clean up the neighborhood, and if there is a house on the street that looks bad, turn it in. Address that. If it has got high grass, report it to the city.” CPTED includes sitting on your porch and communicating with neighbors, look-ing out windows, installing gates and see-through fencing, installing house numbers, adding lighting and replacing lights that are burned out. It includes limiting the number of entrances to your property, using block windows in the basement and on the fi rst fl oor, locking doors automatically and in-stalling symbolic barriers such as planters, knee walls, and changing the color of your walkway. Residents want to clear lines of sight, minimize concealment and isolation and encourage positive activities in the neighborhood. CPTED also includes defi ning property lines with environmentally friendly land-scaping. “Show you care and own your property,” says a CPTED brochure. Other suggestions include hanging a fl ag, keeping your yard clean, installing signs, removing excuses for wanderers, and participate in neighborhood cleanups. The idea is to reduce fear and incidence of crime and improvement in the quality of life.

East Toledo forum to host Chief Kral Toledo Police Chief George Kral will appear at the East Toledo Family Center gymnasium for an open forum this Wednesday at 6 p.m. One Voice for East Toledo Chairman Jodi Gross wanted East Toledo residents to hear Mercy Healthcare certifi ed safety instructor Karen Rogalski’s presentation about community safety before the forum. Rogalski and Gross say Kral is familiar with the new community safety principles being offered by Mercy in North Toledo and the chief wants to spread these ideas to other communities. “I think the important piece, too, is Chief Kral is new to this job, so we always think it’s important to bring him to us so that we have an open forum and the com-munity can ask him questions about what our expectations are,” Gross said. “I think that we are all of the same mindset that we want a safer Toledo and a safer East Toledo. I think bringing him to the table, we’ll have that opportunity to ask questions - he can tell us who he is, what he’s doing and what his plans are. “Within all these ideas, we want to achieve and tie them all together so there is a way to say to him (Chief Kral) that, ‘We’re investing in creating a livable East Toledo.

That’s the important thing. People are leav-ing because of the crime. Is that true — do we have hot spots? Yes, but what can we do this together?” Gross added.

Becker’s Hospital Review has named ProMedica to its 2015 list of 50 Great Health Systems to Know and is one of only four health systems in Ohio recognized for providing high-quality health care to the communities they serve. ProMedica serves more than 4.4 mil-lion patients across its 13 hospitals, four ambulatory surgery centers and more than 300 other facilities each year. Becker’s highlighted the work ProMedica does in the community to infl uence policy and pro-vide preventive medicine, health educa-tion, healthy food assistance and fi nancial support to those in need. In compiling the list, the Becker’s edi-torial team conducted research, choosing systems that have several awards for clini-cal and general excellence. The team also queried healthcare leaders on what systems stood out to them in terms of overall excel-lence, and those systems were considered for inclusion. The complete listing is available at www.beckershospitalreview.com/lists/50-great-health-systems-to-know-2015.html. For more information about ProMedica, visit www.promedica.org.

Donate blood this summer The American Red Cross is urging area residents to take time out of their busy sum-mer schedules to give blood this summer. Nearly 90 percent of donors surveyed this past spring said they planned to take a vacation this summer, potentially mak-ing them less available to give. In addition, many schools that host blood drives are out of session during the summer. But the need for blood donations is constant. Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. Donors of all blood types – especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative – are needed. The Red Cross needs to collect 15,000 blood donations every day to meet the needs of patients at

approximately 2,600 hospitals and transfu-sion centers nationwide. To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

MS Bike to the Bay Ride Join more than 1,000 cyclists on June 20-21, 2015 as they challenge themselves to “Bike MS” during the Reeves Northrup Memorial Bike MS Bike to the Bay cycling event. Multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central ner-vous system, interrupts the fl ow of infor-mation within the brain, and between the brain and the body. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and spe-cifi c symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women as men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 2.3 million people worldwide. The Bike to the Bay ride presented by The Andersons, Inc. Charitable Foundation is a two-day ride devoted to helping people who are living with multiple sclerosis, a chronic and unpredictable disease of the central nervous system. The ride will begin at Perrysburg High School on Saturday, June 20. There are route options of 35, 50, 75 and 100 miles so riders of any age (12 and over), experi-ence and ability level can register to ride. Two-day riders stay overnight in Port Clinton and receive a Jet Express ticket to Put-In-Bay before making the return trip to Perrysburg on Sunday, June 21. “We are so excited for this year’s ride,” said Janet Kramer, chapter president of the National MS Society’s Ohio Buckeye Chapter. “All the funds raised will be used to provide for local programs, services and research efforts to support people living with multiple sclerosis.” Registration is $75 and riders are re-sponsible for meeting a $300 fundraising minimum. First-time riders are encouraged to sign up and receive free registration with the coupon code NEWRIDER2015. The goal of the Ohio Buckeye Chapter’s three Bike MS rides being held this sum-mer is to raise $2 million. Interested cy-

clists are also welcome to participate in the Bike MS Central Ohio Challenge on July 11 and the Bike MS Buckeye Breakaway Aug. 1-2. All rides are fully supported along the way with rest stops, bike shops and medi-cal personnel. For more information about riding or volunteering at Bike MS, visit MSohiobike.org or call 216-503-4183.

Mercy opens Put-in-Bay center As part of its strategy to make health-care more accessible, Mercy recently opened the fi rst medical center on Put-in-Bay Island to serve both residents and visi-tors. The new service is the fi rst facility of its kind to come to the island, which has approximately 800 permanent residents and nearly 800,000 visitors yearly. Staffed by a board certifi ed medical team including an experienced surgeon who is also trained as a radiologist. The new center, located at 528 Catawba Ave., is open Friday and Saturday from noon-4 a.m. and on Sunday from noon-midnight.

Pediatric physical therapist Summit Rehabilitation Services, lo-cated at 3715 Williston Rd., Northwood, has welcomed physical therapist Sarah Schimmoeller to its staff. Schimmoeller has 12 years of experi-ence working with pediatric patients in the Toledo area. She has worked with children of all ages and diagnoses, and now prac-tices with a concentration on infants with torticollis – a tightening of the baby’s neck muscles associated with a preference for turning the head one way more than the other – and plagiocephaly – a condition where the baby’s head is misshapen, most commonly with a fl at spot on one side of the back of the head. “Torticollis and plagiocephaly have become more common since the ‘Back to Sleep’ campaign began in the ‘90’s,” she said. “This program has signifi cantly de-creased the incidence of SIDS related in-fant deaths, but babies are needing more frequent treatment for torticollis due to this positioning. Great news is that this diagno-sis is completely treatable.” For more information or to schedule an appointment with Sarah, call 419-698-2500.

Parker’s Purpose provides assistance to children who are ill or disabled, whose family is in an immediate fi nancial crisis.

Parker Ink, who is currently in the 10th grade at St. Joseph Central Catholic High School in Fremont, was diagnosed at the age of 6 months with Congenital Muscular Dystrophy. He is mobile with the use of a power wheelchair, which he has used since he was 2 years old.

In March 2008, he became seriously ill with viral pneumonia. He was taken by medical helicopter to Mercy St. Vincent Hospital in Toledo and spent the next 30 days fi ghting for his life. He had two sur-

geries during that stay and now uses oxy-gen at all times and a ventilator to breath at night. During his stay in the hospital his dad hung up his football jersey from Fremont St. Joseph Central Catholic H.S., so that it would be a constant reminder to Parker that he still had a lot of work to do. He still had to continue to show people how to fi ght and overcome.

Despite his disadvantages, he has al-

ways had an amazingly optimistic outlook and attitude. Through the years, he has been an honorary ambassador for Easter Seals and has helped raise thousands of dollars for the organization. His struggles have brought hundreds of people together through a variety of fundraisers to help their family who was in an immediate fi -nancial crisis. The result was people giv-ing selfl essly of themselves to help a family

that was in need. Parker’s Purpose foundation is based on

the desire to assist families who have a child with a life-altering illness or disability, who are in a fi nancial crisis. It is Parker’s hope, as well as all those involved in the foundation, for it to grow and spread to help thousands in the future. Since June 2008, the founda-tion has helped hundreds of families, with donations totaling over $125,000.

Griffi n, the only two-time winner of the prestigious Heisman Trophy, is a three-time All American (1973, 1974 and 1975). In 1976, he was a fi rst-round draft choice of the Cincinnati Bengals and played for seven years.

Griffi n, who earned a degree in indus-trial relations, returned to his alma ma-ter in March 1984. In 1985, he accepted the position of Special Assistant to the Director of Athletics.

Cliff Hangers. Check Out. Switcheroo. Plinko. Game show fans will likely recog-nize the games from among the 70-plus pricing games on “The Price is Right” – the long-running game show. Jamey Burson, of Oregon, knows just about all the games. A diehard fan of the show, the teen sets his alarm in the sum-mer and during school vacations so he can get up and watch (yes, it’s on at 11 a.m. on WTOL but he is, after all, a teenager). His dream has always been to go to California and see the show live – and maybe even get a chance to make it to Contestant’s Row, to spin the Big Wheel and compete in the fabulous “Showcase Showdown.” In April, that dream came true. “Jamey was a senior this year from Toledo Christian School, and because he’s such true fan, we decided it would be a su-per fun graduation trip to go to California, do some fun things and go see ‘The Price is Right,’ too,” his mom, Cathy said. The trip was planned for April, includ-ing getting tickets for the show. The trav-elers would include Jamey, his mom and Grandma Martha Hecklinger; and buddies Levi Phillips, who graduated from UT this year, and his mom Karis; and fellow 2015 TCS graduate Will Kujawski and his mom Lynn. “Though everyone was excited for the trip, seeing ‘The Price is Right’ was some-thing Jamey really wanted to do and we all kind of jumped on his bandwagon,” Cathy said. “You have to be 18 to be eligible to become a contestant on the show; Jamey turned 18 on April 12 and we left the 15th,” Cathy said. “We stayed at Manhattan Beach for fi ve days, did the Hollywood tour and all that stuff and on the very last day of our trip, we went to the show,” she said. In preparation, they had matching

T-shirts made – turquoise featuring the outline of the state of Ohio and the words, “Holy Toledo – We’re on The Price is Right!” “We thought that would make us stand out, in the hopes that we might get picked,” Cathy said. “As you’re waiting to get in, a producer interviews everybody in line and ask ques-tions designed to get to know you a bit,” she said. “A woman with a clipboard walks behind the interviewer and takes notes.” During his interview, Jamey told the

producers how much he loved the show and how he watches it every day in the summer. Inside the studio, the group was seated in the third row. “We’re front and center be-hind Contestant’s Row, so if people watch the show, they should be able to see all the bright blue shirts,” Cathy said. “It was really exciting. There was a guy whose job it was to get the crowd excited. As they began to call the contestants, it got so loud, you couldn’t even hear,” she

said. “We didn’t realize they had even be-gun calling names until there was a guy on stage holding a cue card that said ‘Jamey Burson.’ “I thought ‘Why is Jamey’s name on a cue card?’ And then in dawned on all of us and I screamed, ‘Oh my gosh…they’re call-ing your name.’ “We couldn’t believe it – he was the very fi rst person they called down,” Cathy said, adding, “ We were laughing so hard we were crying – it was just so hilarious that he got picked.” Jamey, his mom said, went “bonkers” and fl ew down to the front. Though Cathy wasn’t able to say ex-actly how Jamey did on the show, she was able to say he won “some stuff.” “He went crazy – he was hugging on all the models and talking to (host) Drew Carey about the Mud Hens,” she said. (Carey hails from the Cleveland area.) The episode is scheduled to air Thursday, June 11 at 11 a.m. on Toledo’s Channel 11. “It was a great experience,” Cathy said. “We said we’d always do it some day, but we never imagined it would turn out so great.” Jamey, who was out of town this week training to become a camp counselor for SpringHill Christian Summer Camps, plans to attend the University of Toledo to study psychology in the fall.

“We couldn’t believe it – he was the very

fi rst person they called down.

By J. Patrick Eakenand Mark Griffi [email protected]

There was never any time when Eastwood junior Alexa Schmeltz thought about giving up while rehabbing a torn ACL more than a year ago.

Schmeltz, a third baseman, is the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Offensive Player of the Year and the Northern Buckeye Conference’s Offensive Player of the Year. The All-Press award came via voting by 10 area coaches and local media.

Getting there wasn’t easy for Schmeltz. She tore the ACL in her left knee in a bas-ketball game against Lake in December 2013.

“I was running up the court and just planted and twisted it the wrong way, and it just tore,” Schmeltz said. “It was very pain-ful, just a concentrated pain in my knee.”

Her rehab through Wood County Hospital started in January 2014 and lasted through July.

“They ask you for your goals in rehab, and my goal was to come back even stron-ger and get better in sports than I’ve ever have been,” Schmeltz said. “I get that from my parents, trying to give my best effort in everything I do, basically. I had a lot of nice physical therapists.”

Schmeltz made the opposition wish she had given up in rehab. She led the NBC and set a school record in batting average (.547) and home runs (7) this season, and set school records with 52 hits and 17 dou-bles. She also had two triples, seven stolen bases and 42 RBI.

“I was really surprised,” Schmeltz said. “I wasn’t expecting to excel. I was just looking for an average season and try to contribute to the team. This season was more than I hoped for. We usually go to a tournament in April and I did really well in that. I thought, ‘wow, I’m competing against these high school players.’ It was in Akron and I thought, ‘hey, I can play with these guys.’ ”

Eastwood coach Joe Wyant admitted he didn’t expect to get that kind of produc-tion from Schmeltz, who bats left-handed and throws right-handed. She hit third in the lineup.

“She couldn’t play last year, and fresh-man year she was on jayvee but she dressed varsity when we went to tournaments,” Wyant said. “Last summer I saw her a cou-ple times and she got stronger and her co-ordination came back. She’s always had a pretty good swing, even as a freshman, but I didn’t expect this. No way.”

Schmeltz said she worked on her hand-eye coordination and bat speed while playing travel ball last summer. Eastwood also hits off a tee and in a batting cage dur-ing the high school season.

“I didn’t realize how much power I have,” Schmeltz said. “I don’t think I really realized that until this year.”

Schmeltz was a fi rst-team all-district selection while teammate Mackenzie Albright, a junior shortstop, was a fi rst-team All-NBC pick and a second-team all-district selection. Albright batted .464 with 26 RBI, 14 doubles, four home runs and 10 stolen bases.

Schmeltz and Albright will be the only two returning senior starters next year for Eastwood, which fi nished 14-12 and 8-6 in the NBC.

“I was far from disappointed,” Schmeltz said. “We accomplished a lot of

our goals. We overcame a lot of adversity just coming out as a team, and everyone was really close. I couldn’t have asked for anything else.”

Alexa wasn’t the only Schmeltz to have an outstanding softball season in 2015. Her “third cousin,” Shylee Schmeltz, was a standout shortstop at Gibsonburg as a soph-omore, earning the Golden Bears’ Slugger Award and getting votes for Offensive POY. Because of Gibsonburg’s run to regionals and a Toledo Area Athletic Conference title, Shylee’s coach, Marty Brown, was voted the Press Coach of the Year.

The Schmeltz cousins combined for 14 home runs this season — seven apiece. Alexa said she and Shylee met for the fi rst time on Instagram on Tuesday.

Shylee, a two-year starter, batted .505 and earned fi rst-team All-Press and All-Toledo Area Athletic Conference honors and honorable mention all-district honors.

Her seven home runs set a school record.“Shylee has been an integral part of

our team’s success this year,” Brown said. “Her competitiveness and team support is second to none. While playing every game at shortstop over her fi rst two seasons, she has made some plays that were just incred-ible. Shylee works hard at her hitting skills, which was proven this year.”

Shylee had 49 hits and scored 52 runs, with 49 RBI and 17 stolen bases. She helped 10th-ranked Gibsonburg fi nish 25-6 and 14-0 in the TAAC. The Bears lost to third-ranked Bloom-Carroll, 3-0, in the Division III regional semifi nals. Genoa senior pitcher Lea Theisen, who is set to pitch at the collegiate level for Mercyhurst North East, a small liberal arts college in western Pennsylvania, won the All-Press Pitcher of the Year award by getting four more votes than second place Jamie Miller, a Clay senior.

When a great team embarks on a deep postseason run, the credit is primarily re-served for the players and the coaches, as it should be. But a great playoff run is also a time for the community to relish the accomplish-ments of the team. After all, it’s the com-munity that helped to build a strong foun-dation for the Genoa baseball team, which advanced to the Division III state semifi nals for the fi rst time in 16 years and third time in school history. It’s been two years in the making since Genoa advanced to the regional fi nals two years ago. In 2013, the Comets won three one-run games in an amazing run before falling to Bloom-Carroll, the eventual state runner-up, 8-1, coming one game short of the state tournament. Last year, the Comets lost in heart-breaking fashion in the district semifi nals. Genoa blew a late lead before fallling to Archbold, 4-3, in eight innings. This postseason run has been about re-demption. The Comets won fi ve straight tour-nament games to get to state, fi nishing off their regional championship with a 4-0 victory over Huron, the champions of the Sandusky Bay Conference. The victory over the Tigers came via a no-hitter from hard throwing Jake Wojciechowski, who struck out 13 while pitching the game of his life. His teammates staked him to a 1-0 lead in the fi rst inning before tacking on two runs in the fourth to push the lead to three runs. Regardless of what happened at the state tournament, Wojciechowski, who rushed for over 2,000 yards this season for the football team, will be remembered for playing his best when his team needed him most. That victory followed a 5-3 win over Baltimore Liberty Union, one in which ace Luke Rightnowar allowed no earned runs on two hits in seven innings. In the two regional games, fi nesse pitcher Rightnowar and lights out fastball hurl-er Wojciechowski combined to allow no

Comets’ run to state a special time for community

earned runs in 14 innings while striking out 15 as the offense used small ball to score when needed. The other wins came over Lake (5-2), Sherwood Fairview (7-5) and Liberty Center (3-0). Lee Nissen, who has coached youth baseball in Genoa for a number of years, says the club’s run means everything to the community. “When you live in a small community and everybody knows everybody and you

have a team make a run in the tournament, it’s all that is talked about. I was at the park tonight talking to people and everybody is so proud and hopes the team does well. I coached about fi ve or six of the players. But I’ve seen them all a whole bunch. This is a great group of kids — great baseball play-ers but even more important, they are great young men.” While Genoa is known for its football program as much as anything, baseball will

always be important to the town and neigh-boring villages like Clay Center, Curtice and Martin, all a part of the “Genoa Area” school district. “Even when I was a youngster in the ’70s playing youth baseball, it was the sport our community seemed to embrace,” Nissen said. “I don’t know if we try to in-still that in (the players) as much as we try to make it fun and enjoyable when they are young.” Casey Gose, who just complet-ed his freshman year playing at Owens Community College, played with many of this year’s seniors, including Rightnowar, Wojciechowski, Cody Pickard, Kyle Edwards, Blake Traver and Nick Wolfe. “It’s really cool to see (them get to state) because they’re still my buddies,” Gose said. “It’s awesome to see them go that far — it’s really cool to see them make his-tory. I’m really happy for them. I still talk to them all the time. They knew they could get there. They knew they had to put in the hard work and it showed. They’re having the best senior year you could ask for. “It goes to show that you can get the job done with just kids that live in the com-munity,” Gose continued. “You don’t have to go out and (recruit). It shows that if you do put in the work it will happen. They’re in the state semifi nals and they’re in the biggest stage of their careers.” Gose, who had a stellar freshman sea-son at Owens, leading the club in batting (.354), hits (57) and runs (40) while hitting nine doubles, a triple and driving in 24 runs and maintaining a .436 on-base per-centage, says things like this help young-sters gain an appreciation for the sport. “I remember as a kid growing up, I would always go to the high school games and there would be big crowds,” he said. “From that, I knew the community was into baseball. That said a lot about the commu-nity and how much they cared about it. (This run) has brought the community to-gether.” “Coach Rightnowar has been around baseball his whole life,” Gose said. “He knows the game. He’s a really good coach. If you buy into what he has to say, and it’s showing now, it’s defi nitely going to pay off. His stuff works, the way he coaches, he knows the right stuff and the right things.”

By Mark Griffi nPress Contributing [email protected]

Grace Winckowski and her senior class offi cially ended their high school careers at Clay High School on Tuesday.

Winckowski, who fi nished with a 3.9 GPA, plans to attend the University of Cincinnati next year, graduate with a de-gree in chemical engineering and move to Los Angeles. First, however, there was this little business of trying to win a state title in the 100- and 300-meter hurdles.

Winckowski was joined at the state meet by junior teammate Haley Hess, who qualifi ed in the 1600.

Both girls have had outstanding sea-sons, leading coach Scott Wamer’s Eagles to the Three Rivers Athletic Conference championship, the program’s fi rst league ti-tle since Clay won the City League in 2004.

This was the third state meet ap-pearance for Winckowski and Hess. Winckowski placed eighth in the 100 hur-dles (15.23) and eighth in the 300 hurdles (45.39) at last year’s meet, after taking 15th in the 100 hurdles prelims as a sophomore.

At the Division I regional at Amherst, Winckowski won the 300 hurdles and broke her own school record in the process, with a time of 43.64. She has lowered her season-best time in each of the past four weeks.

“I’m trying to stay relaxed about the (qualifying) time and not really think about it, and just run a good race,” she said. “It kind of intimidates me, just knowing peo-ple are gunning for you and you are the top dog to beat. I never really thought I would make it this far in the 300s, time-wise. Last year my overall best was 45.39 and it’s been going down since last year.”

Winckowski doesn’t hold the school record in the 100 hurdles – that mark still belongs to Kate Achter – but she placed second in the 100s in a personal-best time of 14.79 at the regional meet. She won both hurdles events at the district meet.

“You don’t usually fi nd somebody who is real successful in the 100 and 300 hurdles,” Wamer said. “One is a sprint and another is endurance. Grace brings that combination of both, and that’s really hard to fi nd.”

Winckowski didn’t even start com-peting in the 300 hurdles until midway through last season and now she is on the cusp of a possible state championship. Even if she doesn’t win, she’s left a legacy of success on the track at Clay.

“I want people to remember my name, not only as a good leader but someone who could handle pressure and lead a team to victory, whether it was on the track or in school somehow,” she said. “I want the (younger) people to look at my name and realize I didn’t plan on getting this far, but hard work defi nitely pays off in the end.”

Winckowski, who had the eighth best state-qualifying time in the 100 hurdles, said running the second leg on Clay’s 4x400 relay this year “was huge” in helping her improve in the 300s. Wamer said it’s been more than just that.

“It all started with her training,” he said. “She’s been more focused and taken

Winckowski, Hess fi nish strongthat senior leadership role. It starts with the training. Obviously, the results speak for themselves.”

Hess won the regional title in the 1600 (5:05.20) after winning the district in 5:09.57. Hess set two TRAC records when she won the 800 (2:18.83) and 1600 (4:59.96), and she ran a leg on Clay’s win-ning 4x400 relay and 4x800 relay, which also set a meet record.

“She’s a competitor,” Wamer said. “She doesn’t like to lose. She anchored the 4x800 and 4x400 relays, and she’s the type of kid you want to have there. She likes to come from behind and just has an awesome kick. Not many distance runners can out-kick her in the last 100 meters.”

Hess competed in the 4x800 relay at last year’s state meet, and she fi nished 12th in the 1600 after placing eighth in Columbus as a freshman.

“I have kind of forgotten about that. It’s in the past,” Hess said. “I just focused on this year and coming back and trying to have good races this year. I’m going into the state meet with good times.”

We had four teams from the TAAC in the district semifi nals, so we had to beat each other out to try and get to the regionals.

I’m sad it’s ending, but I just have to look to

the future.

Jacob Kiser did a lot of good things for Gibsonburg’s track and fi eld team this sea-son.

He set the school record in the 300-me-ter hurdles (41.46) and has run on various relays. His bread, however, has always been buttered in the high jump.

“He’s one of our faster kids who helps on the relays,” Gibsonburg coach Glenn Owens said of the 6-foot-1 senior, “but he enjoys the high jump more than anything.”

Why is that?“Because I’m good at it,” Kiser said.

“I’m naturally pretty fl exible; I’ve got hops, too. My coach (Shelli Burgoon) specializes in form instead of height, so that’s what we’ve worked on most of the time. She’s been my coach through high school. She taught me basically everything. I couldn’t do anything without her.”

Kiser jumped 6 feet, 2 inches to take second place last Friday at the Division III regional in Tiffi n, which sent him to Friday and Saturday’s state meet in Columbus.

“I’d like to make 6-4 and (get on) the podium,” said Kiser, who said he came “pretty close” to jumping 6-3 last week. He said he was thrilled when he realized he had made his fi rst state meet.

“Turns out that hard work does pay off,” said Kiser, the Toledo Area Athletic Conference champion. “I fi nally completed one my lifelong goals.”

Kiser knew he would have to have one

Breaking records, jumping — that’s what Kiser does

of his better efforts to get on the awards po-dium at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. Seven state qualifi ers entered the meet with regional jumps of 6-3 or higher, and fi ve others went at least 6-2. Last year, 6-2 was good enough for seventh place in D-III.

Kiser is the fi rst male high-jumper from

Gibsonburg to reach the state meet.“We’re hoping he can get at least 6-2

and see where that lands him,” Owens said. “If he can go higher, that would be a great way to end his career on. “He’s been fi ne-tuning over the years; he’s been do-ing (the high jump) since he’s been out for

track. That’s the main thing he started with. He’s a really nice, friendly kid who listens really well and works hard.”

Kiser said he plans to attend Hocking Technical College to study natural resource law enforcement next fall.

“I’m sad it’s ending,” he said of his track career, “but I just have to look to the future.”

Kiser was joined at the state meet by four female teammates. Freshman Johanna Ehrenhard, who placed sixth in the 1600 at the regional meet, competed in the 4x400 relay with senior Kendall Reynolds, sopho-more Taylor Weickert and senior Colleen Reynolds.

The relay broke the school record last week, with a time of 4:05.86, to fi nish sec-ond. Colleen Reynolds advanced in the 200 and 400 after placing third and second, re-spectively, at regionals. Kendall Reynolds also advanced in the 400 and in the 100.

Kendall took sixth in the 100 at last year’s state meet, while Colleen placed fourth in the 400. Colleen captured a state title in the 400 as a sophomore and also took fi fth that season in the 100.

Baseball is home to some crazy re-cords, and some of our own local high school teams have historically set the wild-est. For instance, in his history of Ohio high school baseball, Timothy L. Hudak of Sports Heritage Specialty Publications in Cleveland notes, “It is hard to see how Dean Sandwich did not make the all-time batting average list when you read about his remarkable accomplishment.”

Playing for Woodmore in 1983 and 1984, Sandwisch set a national record when he hit safely in 30 consecutive at bats.

Or, how about Clay? Clay is still in the top 10 on the national list of wins, accord-ing to Hudak. As of 2009, Clay was 1,142-546-1 dating back to 1928.

Just a few years earlier, Cincinnati Elder, with 1,258 victories, was the win-ningest baseball high school in the nation. Number four on the national list was the Big Red of Steubenville, with 1,121 wins, followed by No. 5 Clay (1,081 victories), and No. 6 Coldwater and its 1,061 tri-umphs.

“Throwing even more cold water (no pun intended) on the warm weather the-ory, the number three and seven schools are both from New Jersey. Only the second ranked school, Tucson (Az.) High School, comes from one of the warm weather ar-eas,” claims Hudak.

The area dots the statewide record book even further. However, Gibsonburg’s season of 2005 still tops them all — still Ohio’s only team to win a state baseball championship with a losing record. They even made a movie about it.

Gibsonburg fi nished 14-17 after defeat-ing 22-8 Jackson Center in the Division IV state semifi nal and then the Golden Bears defeated 26-7 Lancaster Fisher Catholic 6-5 in the fi nal at Columbus’ Cooper Stadium.

So Gibsonburg won a state title in 2005, appeared at the state fi nal four in 1989, but this year won the program’s fi rst league championship since 1980. That’s right — it’s been 35 years since the Golden Bears won a league title — taking the Suburban Lakes League championship the year Ronald Reagan was fi rst elected to the presidency.

This year, the Golden Bears, courtesy of an Ottawa Hills 5-4 make-up win over co-champion Toledo Christian, got its fi rst league championship since 1980, albeit they will have to share the title with the Eagles, which were league champs last year, too.

When Coach Kyle Rase led the Golden Bears to that state title in 2005, he credited the larger schools of the SLL for preparing his team well for the tournament. He knows what it takes, because as a player at Convoy Crestview, his Knights went to state in

1993. Crestview’s program has made three trips to state, while there are still multiple programs that have never made the trip in school history.

Despite Gibsonburg’s years against the larger schools of the SLL being over, Rase warns that the Toledo Area Athletic Conference is no slouch in baseball, and the league proved it this season. “It is two different leagues, two differ-ent make-ups of schools,” said Rase, who

just fi nished his 12th season (166-125) at the helm. “The NBC (with six former SLL members) is a very strong baseball league. But we had four teams from the TAAC in the district semifi nals, so we had to beat each other out to try and get to the region-als.

“Ottawa Hills was a lot better at the end of the year because they play such a tough non-league schedule. Toledo Christian won the league last year and went to regionals and they repeated this year, so they had a bunch of guys back and they were pretty good.”

Four TAAC teams won sectional championships, defeating teams from two other leagues, so that TAAC members Gibsonburg, Toledo Christian, Danbury, and Ottawa Hills were squaring off in the dis-trict for a regional berth. The Golden Bears lost in the semis to the Eagles, 4-3, and Toledo Christian advanced to the regional tournament for the second straight season.

Gibsonburg fi nished 21-8 overall and 11-3 in the league after starting 6-5. Rase thanks the leadership of his fi ve seniors for turning the season into a productive one.

“We had a deep pitching staff, and hit-ting wise we had a different person step up in different games,” Rase said.

Senior Jordan Kreglow, who has signed to play basketball next year at Trine University, is a fi rst team All-TAAC short-stop and Derek Angelone is a fi rst team All-TAAC catcher. Both were second team picks as juniors when the Bears fi nished 23-5, including 8-4 in the TAAC, coming up just short of a league title.

Kreglow was one of fi ve players to bat over .300, fi nishing at .301 (28 for 93) with 33 runs, 19 RBIs and 16 stolen bases. Angelone batted .296 (26 for 88) with 18 RBIs and three SB.

Outfi elder Bryce Ernsthausen is a sec-ond team All-TAAC performer after batting .312 (24 for 77) with 18 runs, 13 RBIs and four SB.

Getting honorable mention is pitcher Preston Arriaga, who was 5-1 in 35.1 in-nings, giving up 25 hits, 11 earned runs and striking out 45.

Other pitchers putting up good num-bers were Ernsthausen (45 IP, 35 H, 21 R, 16 ER, 59 K, 5-2 W-L, 2.49 ERA) and Ryan Clark (50.1 IP, 59 H, 29 R, 21 ER, 48 K, 6-3, 2.92).

Others hitting over .300 include Madison Jaso (.346 on 18 for 52, 11 R, 15 RBI, 1 SB), Clark (.318 on 28 for 88, 31 R, 21 RBI, 14 SB) and Andrew Dollinger (.318 on 27 for 85, 16 R, 16 RBI, 7 SB).

Eleven individuals were inducted into the Fremont Speedway Hall of Fame dur-ing the seventh annual ceremonies.

Robert (Bob) Berkley. Bob was a car owner for many years from the 1950s through the 1970s. He gave many drivers the opportunity to race and the familiar “skunk” as well as the 4JR were well known at the track.

Bob also owned a Cadillac motor in Chuck Stroup’s Flying S. Hall-of-famer Donnie Linton called Bob “The Carburetor Man” as he worked on many to help racers.

Bill Cicanese. Bill was not only a skilled sprint car driver – piloting cars for the hall-of-fame Van Ness Family and hall-of-famer Jim Ford, he was a master craftsman, designing and building sprint car chassis. Bill built and raced cars over a span of 56 years – from 1959-2015.

After a near fatal crash at Limaland in the early 1970s, Bill would spend count-less hours in his shop, designing cars and other race car parts. Bill came back to rac-ing in 1976 with the famous red, white and blue No. 200, his own creation.

Bill built and repaired championship sprint car chassis. Besides designing inno-vative sprint car parts – he built one of the first all aluminum sprint car radiators which speed shops sold from coast to coast. Bill was also active in manufacturing parts for the aircraft industry.

Tom Drusbeck. Tom’s racing involve-ment began at Fremont Speedway in 1952 as a crew member of the Johnny Red Caldwell and Foos Boys racing teams. He was an integral part of the famous Four Mile Racing Team with the No.8 ball and No.6 ball cars driven by hall of fame driv-ers Johnny Cook and Gene Notestine along with Merlin Eversole.

After serving his country Tom came back home and became part of the X-15 team with driver Jim Linder. Tom and Jim had a racing relationship for nearly 50 years. In the early 1980s Tom would own the No. 3 that Jim Linder would drive to

three Fremont sprint car championships.Jack Gordon. Jack started racing at

Fremont in 1963. He would claim the track’s 1976 Six-Cylinder Sportsman Lightning Rod championship. Jack also drove sprint cars and late models — including for hall-of-famer Joe Sabo — and recorded 9 career Fremont feature wins.

Mike Holman. Mike was a long-time flagman at Fremont Speedway and was respected by every driver. He and his wife Chris also were part of the track mainte-nance crew at one time and spent countless Friday nights behind the wheel of a water truck. Mike lost his life while flagging at Fremont Speedway

Chris Kiser. Chris joins his dad, Ken, as an inductee into the Fremont Speedway Hall of Fame. Kiser Sound has provided the sound system at the track since its inception and Chris can be found in the “little white hut” in the infield manning

the sound system every Saturday. Chris also was an exceptional race car

driver. He claimed the Fremont Speedway Enduro Championship in 1989 and 1992 and drove 305 sprint cars at one time. Chris recorded 16 career wins at Fremont Speedway.

Fritz Meyer. For many race fans Fritz Meyer was “the wrecker guy” at Fremont. But he was so much more. Fritz helped when the track was built. Meyer’s Garage also sponsored the No. 100 race car driv-en by hall-of-famer Johnny Auxter, Dick Willey, Red Root and Floyd Slater.

Fritz’ family was also deeply involved in Fremont Speedway. His uncle Carl was a former track flagman and his son, Freddie drove a hobby stock at the track while his daughter Sharon ran the ambulance.

John Naida. John started his career in 1968 at a midget race at the Hart Fairgrounds. He moved into sprint cars

in 1970 and was voted the “Rookie of the Year” at Fremont Speedway. The next year he received the track’s most improved award. He went on to drive a sprint car he built, to the track championship at Fremont in 1978.

John joined his dad, Bill, as a member of the Michigan Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1996. He began the sanctioning organi-zation Sprints On Dirt in 1980 and not only ran the series but won the championship in 1980 and 1981. He still owns SOD and his daughter, Adrianna Irwin is the series director while his son, Dain, continues to drive sprint cars. He was also the 1991 Butler Motor Speedway track champion.

John began Naida Racing Organization (NRO) in 1978 and built cars and rac-ing water pumps and power steering units which he designed, through 2000. John’s cars won championships in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri and Colorado.

Lee Potter. Lee started racing in 1966 in the Fremont Speedway Hobby Stock Division. He would move to the super modifieds/sprint division and eventually the 305 sprint division where he earned the track championship in 1990.

During his driving career Lee racked up 5 career wins at Fremont Speedway. His son Jared would also drive a sprint car and his son Mikey was a fixture in the front stretch bleachers every week.

Fran Steinmetz. The Hobby Stock Division was created at Fremont Speedway in 1963 and Fran became the division’s first champion. He recorded 3 feature wins in his career at Fremont. Besides owning his own car, Fran drove for Charlie Huber and Bobby Albright and a Kear’s Speed Shop backed machine. After his driving days were over, Fran owned cars driven by his son Mark in the Enduro Division and Street Stock Division. Jeff Miller also drove a street stock owned by Fran.

Howard “Moe” Thompson. Moe has been around Fremont Speedway for over 40 years. Moe has been one of the track’s “handymen,” doing all sorts of jobs around the facility including clean-up, mainte-nance and most recently as the pit gate steward.
