Ohio State team national champions

Waite’s Vargo-Brown honored for swimming

“

By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Ohio State Synchronized Swimming added a 32nd National Championship to its list of accolades Saturday in San Antonio, Texas while becoming back-to-back-toback victors.

Under the direction of coach HollyVargo Brown (Waite) and Suzanna Hyatt, the Buckeyes swept the competition in all categories, claiming the gold in solo, duet, trio, team, and Overall Institution.

The Buckeyes topped Stanford, 98-88, for the Overall Institution award, claiming the title for the third straight year. VargoBrown was named the U.S. Collegiate Coach of the year, claiming the title for the fifth time in her distinguished career.

Vargo-Brown is just the third coach in the program’s 36-year history.

She was inducted into the Morrison R. Waite High School Athletics Hall of Fame in February of 2009 for her athletic and coaching successes. While attending Waite, Vargo-Brown was the 1978 Ohio junior champion, 1980 Ohio Region 6 champion and 1979 and 1980 Northwest Ohio AAU Athlete of the Year. In 1979, VargoBrown went on to finish 11th at the Junior National Championships. Additionally,

The Wood County prosecutor’s office is now interceding in a zoning dispute over property along Woodville Road being used to temporarily store piles of leaves.

Mark Hummer, Lake Township administrator, reported to the township trustees Tuesday the prosecutor’s office has sent a letter to legal counsel for Jim Mlynek, owner of the property and Woodville Road Nursery. He’s been using the site to store leaves before composting them at the nursery on the other side of Woodville Road.

Hummer said the matter was “firmly in the prosecutor’s hands.”

At issue is a berm around the property along Bailey Road. A four-foot-high berm was one of the stipulations the trustees included with their 2-1 vote last year when they approved Mlynek’s request to rezone the property from R-2 residential to B-2 commercial.

Mlynek is challenging the township’s assertion that the berm must also be 25-foot wide.

Residents of Bailey have complained about odors and dust from the rezoned site and have said the township hasn’t enforced the width requirement.

But a Jan. 15 letter from Mlynek’s attorney to the township says the township’s minutes of the zoning hearing make no mention the berm should be 25 feet wide but the minutes do reference a 25-foot setback from Bailey Road.

The letter also contends other nearby commercial properties weren’t required to install berms.

“Since none of the other properties in the Lake Township area, recently rezoned, have been required to place mounding, including the car wash property right next door to Mr. Mlynek, it would appear Mr. Mlynek’s property is being treated differently than the remainder of the Woodville Road, Matthews Road, Bailey Road area,” the letter says.

Last month, the township administra-

she was a two-time member of the varsity cheerleading squad.

A Buckeye letter winner from 198184, Vargo-Brown was an All-American in 1984 and member of the 1982 and 1983 U.S. Collegiate championship teams. A four-time Ohio State Scholar-Athlete, she was the recipient of the Melvin and Irving Schottenstein Post-Graduate Award, which was first designed specifically to recognize and promote women’s achievements in intercollegiate athletics at The Ohio State

University. Vargo-Brown graduated from Ohio State in 1984 with a bachelor’s degree in physical education.

Ohio State is just one of three college programs to ever clinch four first-place finishes at the U.S. Collegiate Championship.

Lindenwood and Stanford University are the only other programs to have achieved a collegiate sweep. Ohio State has garnered all gold medals five times before at the championship in 1988, 1991, 1997, 2001 and 2002. That is the most of any collegiate synchronized swimming program followed

by Stanford with three and Lindenwood with one.

The Buckeyes did not wait until finals to prove themselves; OSU’s winning routines were all ranked in first after explosive performances in prelims on Thursday and Friday.

Freshman Nikki Dzurko emerged as an impactful rookie for the Scarlet and Gray this season, winning the Solo Championship in her first year competing at the collegiate level. Dzurko was also the recipient of the Individual High Point Trophy. Junior Laila Huric, who captured the silver medal at the championships last year, secured a third place Continued on page 2

tion asked the prosecutor’s office to review a transcript by a court reporter of the township zoning hearing held last May in which the berm requirements were stated.

The township also has an audio recording of the hearing.

Last week, Hummer said the prosecutor’s letter to legal counsel for Mlynek pertained to “perceived shortcomings” of the berm.

Zoning computer, software purchased In other business, the trustees approved the purchase of a new computer and software for the zoning inspector’s office.

The computer will cost about $1,175 and the software about $6,000.

Jamie Stanley, zoning inspector, said the software is used in many communities and will allow her office to track zoning activities and better monitor compliance.

She said the Wood County Planning Commission recommends the software.

finish. The pair combined to win the duet category. Wenjing Deng, Rachel Jager, and Stephanie Thielemann were awarded gold in the trio category as well, bringing a Trio Championship back home to Columbus for the first time since 2012.

Eight athletes garnered a spot on the Collegiate All-American Team: Nikki Dzurko, Laila Huric, Wenjing Deng, Stephanie Thielemann, Rachel Jager, Cassie Neeley, Camryn Carrasco, and Daria Torba.

Veteran leadership helped to propel Ohio State Synchronized Swimming to elite finishes in all categories with seniors Alex Meredith Le-Roux, Rachel Warren, Stephanie Thielemann, Lane Starrett, Wenjing Deng, and Elizabeth Walsh.

Vargo-Brown began her coaching career at Ohio State as an assistant coach in 1986 and after a brief hiatus following the 1990 season, she returned as assistant coach in 1993.

In 2004, Vargo-Brown served as the Ohio State interim head coach while thenhead coach Linda Lichter-Witter was assisting the U.S. Olympic Team in Athens, Greece. During that campaign, VargoBrown led the Scarlet and Gray to their fifth-consecutive U.S. Collegiate national title, coached three All-Americans and was later named United States Synchronized Swimming Coach of the Year.

Vargo-Brown also led Ohio State in 2005 when Lichter-Witter was on medical leave. Vargo-Brown coached the Buckeyes to a runner-up finish at nationals, while mentoring five All-Americans at the conclusion of the season.

The 2012 U.S. Synchronized Swimming Collegiate Contributor of the Year, Vargo-Brown has played a pivotal role in the growth of the sport collegiately, nationally and internationally. As a swimmer, she earned a spot on the 1985 U.S. National Team II squad. Vargo-Brown’s coaching stints include leading U.S. Olympic Festival Teams in 1987 and 1988. She also was the assistant coach to the Venezuelan National Team at the 1987 Pan-American Games.

International Festival includes new series Rogene Kohler, chairwoman, Toledo Sister Cities International Festival Planning Committee, announced that a new series of events – International Forums and Presentations – will highlight the 10th Annual International Festival, Saturday, April 13 from 11 a.m.-7:30 p.m. at the Toledo SeaGate Centre, 401 Jefferson St. The Toledo Sister Cities International Festival holds the distinction of being the first festival of the season in Northwest Ohio. Participating countries include Spain, China, Hungary, Poland, Japan, Tanzania, Germany, Lebanon, Pakistan and India.

“These forums will in no way replace the various cultural performances and international attractions that make up our festival,” Kohler said. “Part of our goal was to highlight one of the founding visions of Toledo Sister Cities and that was as an economic development arm to help local companies do business overseas.

Various groups like the Regional Growth Partnership, the Toledo Lucas County Port Authority, the Great Lakes Consortium, and the World Affairs Council will explain what they do and the local impact of their programs. They will give short presentations about their organizations with time for questions and discussion.”

In addition to highlighting economic development opportunities, Kohler says that TSCI groups will introduce their mem-

ber cities and the issues that confront those cities.

In addition to the forums, there will also be authentic ethnic food available from several participating countries, as well as world beers. Other vendors will be on hand offering crafts and other goods.

Merchandise representing many other countries will be available. All Sister City clubs and committees and other local organizations with an international interest will have information and activities. There will also be an opportunity to learn a bit of a different language every half-hour.

“Northwest Ohio is unique compared to other parts of the United States. Research shows that 80 percent of the people who live in our area can trace their roots here. We are one of the most diverse regions in the United States. The Sister Cities International Festival highlights that diversity with different ethnic entertainment, foods, crafts, souvenirs, and even a language corner,” Kohler said. “This really is our opportunity to share pride in our heritages and learn about other cultures — To truly show the diversity of not just Toledo, but all of Northwest Ohio.”

Admission is $5 for tickets purchased in advance. At the door, general admission is $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and students with ID. Children 10 and under get in free.

For more information on the Tenth Annual Toledo Sister Cities International Festival or to become a member of

TSCI, visit www.toledosistercities.org.

Information on TSCI is also available on Toledo Sister Cities International Facebook page, or email scitoledo@gmail.com.

Festival organizers continue to look for corporate sponsors and volunteers for the event, which attracts over 2,000 people each year.

Toledo Sister Cities International is a 501(c)3 organization and has been building international relationships between municipalities since 1931. It is widely believed that the first “sister city” relationship anywhere was established between Toledo, Ohio and Toledo, Spain that year. In 1956, U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower continued to foster Sister Cities agreements on a mayor-to-mayor basis.

Toledo Sister Cities International is celebrating its 25th year of service and has established agreements with Coimbatore (India); Coburg (Germany); Hyderabad (Pakistan); Poznan (Poland); Qinhuangdao & Nanchong (China); Szeged (Hungary); Tanga (Tanzania); Toledo (Spain); and Toyohashi (Japan). A regional agreement is in place with Bekaa Valley (Lebanon).

Those interested in volunteering should email Kohler at dkohler376@aol. com. To become a corporate sponsor or make a tax-deductible donation, contact Jim Hartung, president, TSCI Board of Trustees, at jhhartung@aol.com or call 419270-1060.

Groundbreaking set for Troy Township plant A groundbreaking ceremony for the NSG float glass plant in Troy Township is planned for April 17, the company has announced.

The groundbreaking will be held from 10-11 a.m.

NSG Group said the new plant will support its plan to expand production capacity of transparent conductive oxide coated glass to support the growing solar market.

The 500,000 square foot facility will be located near First Solar’s new plant in Lake Township.

The area is commonly known as

the Eastwood Commerce Center South.

Construction is scheduled to begin this spring and it is expected the plant will be operational in the second half of 2020.

The new float glass line will be the first in the U.S. for the NSG Group since 1980 and is expected to create 125-150 new jobs.

NSG Group is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of glass and glazing products for the architectural, automotive industry and technical glass sectors.

With around 27,000 employees, NSG Group has principal operations worldwide and sales in more than 100 countries.

Founded in 1918, the company expanded

in 2006 with the acquisition of Pilkington plc, itself a global leader in the glass industry and the inventor of the float glass process.

Last May, NSG Group announced it planned to invest in the expansion of its production capacity of the coated glass to meet the demand of the solar market, including the upgrade and restart of a dormant float line in Vietnam and the construction of a new glass production facility in the U.S. over the next three years.

The company said it would invest about 38 billion Japanese yen, or approximately $342 million in the projects.

Rep. Paula Hicks Hudson criticizes camera bill State Representative Paula Hicks Hudson, D – Toledo, has asked Gov. Mike DeWine to veto provisions in House Bill 62, the state’s two-year transportation budget, that would penalize cities using traffic safety cameras.

“I encourage you to veto this legislative overreach that threatens the safety and security of those who use our roadways and further erodes the long-standing tradition of home rule in the Buckeye State,” said Hicks-Hudson in a letter to the governor.

She said H.B. 62 requires cities to file all traffic camera citation cases in munici-

pal court. It also mandates cities to report to the state how much they collected in revenue. The state would then deduct that amount from the city’s share of the state’s local government fund.

The bill passed Tuesday in the legislature. The governor’s office said Wednesday he signed it as passed in the Senate and House and did not issue any line-item vetoes.

Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz also criticized the budget.

“The budget signed by the governor will have a devastating negative impact

on our city. Toledoans will now be forced to pay higher gas taxes, and yet incredibly enough, they will see their budget cut by $6.5 million. Meanwhile, our citizens will be less safe because the State of Ohio has taken away an important tool that our police and law enforcement professionals believe they need to protect us,” he said.

“Toledo gets higher taxes, less money, and streets that are more dangerous. This is a slap in the face to our police department, our police chief George Kral, and to every citizen who believes Toledoans should have the right to govern themselves.”

Stony Ridge

Pee Wee’s to open for its 56th season

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Last September, Maxine Haas told her family she had dipped her last scoop of ice cream at Pee Wee’s Dari Snak and was – after 55 years – retiring.

The family-owned business had been a staple of the Stony Ridge community and stopping there for a treat was routine for residents, baseball and soccer teams and other groups during the summer.

Haas’ announced retirement was such a big event in the area that her children held a retirement open house for her at St. John’s Lutheran Church, giving the generations of patrons a chance to offer their best wishes and share stories.

Selling the building was an option the family considered but with the intent of finding a buyer who would continue the ice cream business.

But sometime after Maxine announced her plans to retire, her son, Rusty Waters, and his son, Trent, decided to pick up the ice cream scoop and Pee Wee’s Dairy Snak opened last Thursday for its 56th season. “I’m not going to change a thing,�

Rusty said the day before the opening. “This place has been running for 55 years. I started working here when I was about five years old with my grandfather. So I decided to give it a shot and see what happens.�

His son, the fourth generation of the family to work at Pee Wee’s, will be managing the business, he said.

Pee Wee’s will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday.

In addition to the soft ice cream and sugar-free hard ice cream, Pee Wee’s will still feature the popular homemade sauce for the Coney Island hot dogs and bar-b-cue beef and other sandwiches and side items. “That’s something we’re known for,�

Rusty said. “I think we have the best ice cream because we still have the old water-cooled machines.�

Will the 56th season lure the family matriarch back?

Top photo, Maxine Haas of Pee Wee’s.

(Press file photo by Ken Grosjean) Bottom photo, it’s vintage Pee Wee’s. (Submitted photo) “She’s only about 100 yards away but I don’t know if she’ll step in the door or not.

She swore she’s not going to but we’ll see how that goes,� Rusty said, laughing. “My grandmother was about 90 or so and still sitting in the backyard slicing onions and making our coleslaw. I’m hoping Mom will decide to do something like that. But if she doesn’t, she doesn’t.�

His grandmother, Bertha Haas and grandfather, Everett, known as Pee Wee, constructed the building in 1963 at 5700

Fremont Pike.

At the time, I-75 wasn’t completed in Toledo so many patrons made their way to Pee Wee’s on I-280 to Route 20, Maxine told The Press for a story prior to the opening of the 2016 season.

She said it wasn’t uncommon for many residents who moved from the Stony Ridge area to patronize Pee Wee’s when they returned to visit friends or relatives – some from as far away as Colorado and Florida.

Women’s learning circle to be workshop focus Ag Notes

Water and how it is impacted by agricultural practices will be the focus of a workshop to be held April 17 by the American Farmland Trust and the Wood Soil & Water Conservation District for women farmers and landowners.

The session will be held at Luckey Farmers, Inc., 1200 Main St., Woodville.

Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. and the meeting will start at 9 a.m. Lunch will be provided and the program will end at 3 p.m.

The workshop format will be a learning circle to provide participants the opportunity to interact with other landowners, share their farm experiences, discuss goals and access advice and technical assistance.

“In the Midwest, women now own or co-own between one fourth and one half of the farmland. Many of them are non-operating landowners – they lease their farmland to local farmers. While they are very interested in farming practices that benefit the health of their land, implementing those practices requires a partnership with the farm operator. This workshop on how to build the farmer-landowner relationship which translates to a fair lease for both parties,” said Jennifer Filipiak, Midwest director for American Farmland Trust.

According to the AFT, nearly 301 million acres of U.S. land – about a third of the nation’s land in farms – are now farmed or co-farmed by women and at least 87 million additional acres are in the hands of women landowners. During the next 20 years, the number of women farming and/or taking on a management role on farmland is likely to increase as 340 million acres are expected to change hands when farmers retire or leave their land to the next generation.

For information contact the Wood SWCD at 419 354-5517.

a.m. The event is hosted by the Center for Innovative Food Technology (CIFT) at the Agricultural Incubator Foundation (AIF), 13737 Middleton Pike (SR 582) in Bowling Green.

Ohio has long been one of the top cheese-producing states in the country (including the number-one producer of Swiss cheese). Some of the state’s cheese makers have won prestigious awards at the U.S. Cheese Championship, World Cheese Championship and World Dairy Expo.

With more than 16 years in the industry, Enslen builds relationships with dairy manufacturers to provide communication, insights and innovation to the entire supply chain.

Arrive early, as breakfast and informal networking will start at 8 a.m., with the program to follow. Walk-ins are welcome, but guests are encouraged to reserve a seat in advance by visiting ciftinnovation.org.

The cost is $10 per person for those who RSVP in advance, or $12 per person at the door (cash or check) without RSVP. Breakfast and networking opportunities are included.

The Northwest Ohio Ag-Business Breakfast Forum is an educational networking opportunity that provides information on current issues, trends and programs available to the agricultural community and those who support its advancement.

Cheese industry puts Ohio on world stage Tracy Enslen, vice president of business development, American Dairy Association Mideast, will discuss Ohio’s rich history in cheese – from some of the finest cheeses in the world, to the impact the industry has on the state’s economy – at the Northwest Ohio Ag-Business Breakfast Forum, Thursday, April 18 from 8-9:30

Don’t let fear of failure derail you from your dreams Fear of failure is paralyzing. It causes you to give up, abandon dreams, and take a less than desired path. Imagine how much more you would accomplish by not letting any fear stop you. Here are some approaches which will help you get past your fears.

Identify each fear and its cause. By understanding what you are afraid of and why, you are in a better position to take corrective action. Often, this step alone demonstrates that there may be no rational basis for your fear.

Fear of public speaking is a great example. Many people with this fear never had a bad experience. Instead, they anticipate a poor reception. In reality, when a speaker is nervous in front of a crowd, it’s usually not noticeable.

So, those who won’t speak in public are allowing a projected outcome to stop them. Ironically, many excellent public speakers got started by pushing themselves to break through their fear. Others who succumb to this fear limit themselves for a lifetime.

Fear of failure is a limitation which causes people to abandon their dreams.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden They focus on what could go wrong, instead of all that could go right. Rather than finding strategies for success, they conjure up excuses for failure.

Visualize success. Imagine yourself being successful. Fear of failure is defeated by looking at all of the benefits of success.

Focusing on the numerous benefits you will attain, fans a burning desire, which propels you forward. Taking positive action, one step at a time, keeps you moving forward.

Learn about your fear. Learn from others who have travelled this route before you. Find out how other people have overcome fear. Investigate what effective strategies have been used. Since other people have overcome the same fear, you can also do it.

Keep things in perspective. Fear causes you to blow things out of proportion. Fear makes challenges appear worse than they are. You mind conjures up frightening worst-case scenarios which stop you.

Worst case scenarios usually aren’t as bad as you think they are. Successful people overcome daunting obstacles. They find solutions for seemingly insurmountable problems. A strong determination overpowers fear.

Give yourself credit for challenges you have already overcome. Many people don’t realize how much they have accomplished.

Use these victories to boost your self-confidence. Apply the same mental fortitude you have used in the past to overcome current and future fears.

Seek guidance from successful people who are currently where you want to be.

You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. They have already figured out ways to break through whatever is holding you back. You will save yourself lots of time and effort learning from their experiences.

Conversely, don’t use the failures of others to justify your own excuses. This

approach reinforces your own fears. In so doing you ensure that your fears will stop you. As a result, your level of frustration rises as your fears become more engrained.

What you are capable of doing is not connected to what others can’t, or won’t do.

You can move past any fear. This process happens one step at a time. Don’t obsess about your fear. Instead, focus on what you need to do next, not on how daunting your final destination may be.

Fears are conquered by doing whatever it is you are afraid to do. By so doing, you will discover that your fear does not have to be a road block. Many great achievers throughout history have had to overcome their fears before realizing their goals. You too can follow the same path to success.

Cities in ‘flyover country’ are leading America’s urban boom

By Ed McMahon Ask any college senior where the best jobs are, and you’ll probably hear a list of coastal metropolises: New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco.

But economic development data tell a different story. Smaller cities away from the coasts are the true hotbeds of economic activity today, thanks to their relatively low costs of living, abundant job opportunities, and appealing community amenities.

This movement is a stark change from decades past, when central business districts in these cities would shut down as office workers headed home to the suburbs.

Now, what used to be places to work and leave have become places to work and live.

In “18-hour” cities like Denver, Nashville, Tenn., and Charlotte, N.C., people are staying downtown long after the workday is done. That’s spurring economic growth and the development of thriving residential neighborhoods.

Consider Dallas, which attracted nearly 150,000 new residents last year -- more than five times as many as Los Angeles did.

Or downtown Denver, where over 10,000 residential units are under construction.

That represents a nearly 50 percent increase in the total housing stock.

The growth of secondary cities isn’t new. The Urban Land Institute first chronicled their rise five years ago, and this year could bring even more growth to these cities. According to Emerging Trends in Real Estate, an annual industry forecast published by the Urban Land Institute and PwC, eight of the top 10 real estate markets to watch in 2019 are “18-hour cities.”

Part of the appeal driving smaller cities’ growth? Residents can actually afford to live there. A one-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles costs almost twice as much as it does in Dallas -- and for fewer square feet.

Guest Editorial Midsize cities are also much more affordable for those looking to put down roots or raise families. In San Francisco, it would take nearly three decades for millennials saving at the average rate to have enough for a down payment on a home. In Kansas City, Mo., they could do the same in three years.

Even better, affordable secondary cities now largely offer economic opportunities comparable to those available on the coasts.

Amazon affirmed the appeal of smaller cities with its $230 million investment in an

operations center in Nashville, which will create 5,000 jobs.

These cities have grown into 18hour urban destinations in part because they’ve developed bustling arts, music, and food scenes. Denver, Austin, Texas, and Charleston, S.C., are all in the top five of Zagat’s list of the 30 most exciting food cities in America. Ticket seller SeatGeek ranks Nashville second nationwide for U.S. cities with the most major concerts per capita.

Of course, secondary cities aren’t entirely without growing pains. While still cheaper than New York or Washington, rents in Raleigh rose from 9 percent of income in 2014 to 21 percent last year.

To maintain their momentum, smaller cities must be smart about how they grow.

This means addressing affordability challenges while simultaneously encouraging investment and development.

We’ve entered an era in which smaller

cities are becoming more competitive with their more established counterparts. The winners will be cities that have figured out how to be places where people enjoy how they live, rather than simply endure it.

Health Published second week of month.

Experimental blood test for fibromyalgia For the first time, researchers have evidence that fibromyalgia can be reliably detected in blood samples – work they hope will pave the way for a simple, fast diagnosis.

In a study that appears in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, researchers from The Ohio State University report success in identifying biomarkers of fibromyalgia and differentiating it from a handful of other related diseases.

The discovery could be an important turning point in care of patients with a disease that is frequently misdiagnosed or undiagnosed, leaving them without proper care and advice on managing their chronic pain and fatigue, said lead researcher Kevin Hackshaw, an associate professor in Ohio State’s College of Medicine and a rheumatologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

Identification of biomarkers of the disease – a “metabolic fingerprint” like that discovered in the new study – could also open up the possibility of targeted treatments, he said.

To diagnose fibromyalgia, doctors now rely on patient-reported information about a multitude of symptoms and a physical evaluation of a patient’s pain, focusing on specific tender points, he said. But there’s no blood test – no clear-cut, easy-to-use tool to provide a quick answer.

“We found clear, reproducible metabolic patterns in the blood of dozens of patients with fibromyalgia. This brings us much closer to a blood test than we have ever been,” Hackshaw said.

Though fibromyalgia is currently incurable and treatment is limited to exercise, education and antidepressants, an accurate diagnosis has many benefits, Hackshaw said. Those include ruling out other diseases, confirming for patients that their symptoms are real and not imagined, and guiding doctors toward disease recognition and appropriate treatment.

And many undiagnosed patients are prescribed opioids – strong, addictive painkillers that have not been shown to benefit people with the disease, he said.

“When you look at chronic pain clinics, about 40 percent of patients on opioids meet the diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia often gets worse, and certainly doesn’t get better, with opioids.”

Hackshaw and co-author Luis RodriguezSaona, an expert in the advanced testing method used in the study, said the next step is a larger-scale clinical trial to determine if the success they saw in this research can be replicated.

The current study included 50 people with a fibromyalgia diagnosis, 29 with rheumatoid arthritis, 19 who have osteoarthritis and 23 with lupus.

Researchers examined blood samples from each participant using a technique called vibrational spectroscopy, which measures the energy level of molecules within the sample. Scientists in RodriguezSaona’s lab detected clear patterns that consistently set fibromyalgia patients’ blood

Finding treatment for substance use disorder is often harder than it should be.

Which facilities can you trust?

Which programs accept your insurance?

These are the hard-to-answer questions that can discourage people attempting to find addiction treatment.

Mercy Health is teaming up with FindLocalTreatment.com – the first real-time treatment finder in Ohio – to remove these barriers to treatment for those in the Toledo community.

Finding the right combination to manage daily pain can be a long road, but a new blood test may soon provide the details to better direct effective treatments. sample results apart from those with other, similar disorders.

First, the researchers analyzed blood samples from participants whose disease status they knew, so they could develop a baseline pattern for each diagnosis. Then, using two types of spectroscopy, they evaluated the rest of the samples blindly, without knowing the participants’ diagnoses, and accurately clustered every study participant into the appropriate disease category based on a molecular signature.

“These initial results are remarkable.

If we can help speed diagnosis for these patients, their treatment will be better and they’ll likely have better outlooks. There’s nothing worse than being in a gray area where you don’t know what disease you have,” Rodriguez-Saona said.

His lab mostly concerns itself with using the metabolic fingerprinting technology for food-related research, focusing on issues such as adulteration of milk and cooking oils and helping agriculture companies figure out which plants are best suited to fight disease.

The chance to partner with medical experts to help solve the problem of fibromyalgia misdiagnosis was exciting, said Rodriguez-Saona, a professor of food science and technology at Ohio State.

Rodriguez-Saona said for the next study he’d like to examine 150 to 200 subjects per disease group to see if the findings of this research are replicable in a larger, more-diverse population.

Hackshaw said his goal is to have a test ready for widespread use within five years.

fects women. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that about 2 percent of the population – around 4 million adults – has fibromyalgia. Other organizations estimate even higher numbers.

About three in four people with fibromyalgia have not received an accurate diagnosis, according to previous research, and those who do know they have the disease waited an average of five years between symptom onset and diagnosis.

Common symptoms include pain and stiffness all over the body, fatigue, depression, anxiety, sleep problems, headaches and problems with thinking, memory and concentration.

Eventually, this work could lead to identification of a particular protein or acid – or combination of molecules – that’s linked to fibromyalgia, Rodriguez-Saona said.

“We can look back into some of these fingerprints and potentially identify some of the chemicals associated with the differences we are seeing,” he said.

In addition to identifying fibromyalgia, the researchers also found evidence that the metabolic fingerprinting technique has the potential to determine the severity of fibromyalgia in an individual patient.

“This could lead to better, more directed treatment for patients,” Hackshaw said.

Other Ohio State researchers involved with the study were Didem Aykas, Gregory Sigurdson, Marcal Plans Pujolras, Francesca Madiai, Lianbo Yu and Monica Giusti. Tony Buffington, formerly of Ohio State and now at the University of California, Davis, was also a co-author.

The Columbus Medical Research Foundation helped support this research.

What is FindLocalTreatment.com?

The Mercy Health - Foundation was first to support Crosswave Health, the technology company behind FindLocalTreatment.com (FLT), a website that helps link people to addiction treatment they can trust. Treatment providers on FindLocalTreatment.com are vetted for quality before being displayed on the site.

FindLocalTreatment.com enables individuals, hospital systems, local governments and community partners to search for accredited addiction service providers who have the capacity to accept new patients. Primary search criteria include location, substance(s) of choice, and accepted insurance.

When someone enters an emergency room seeking help for an addiction, there’s only so much that can be done. Emergency Department staff can administer Narcan and stabilize patients in acute overdose situations, but addressing an underlying addiction requires long-term treatment outside of the health system.

“By combining Narcan availability with treatment-on-demand using FindLocalTreatment.com, we can bridge the gap between those who need treatment with treatment availability,” said Larry Graham, MD, president, Mercy Health Behavioral Health.

FindLocalTreatment.com helps prevent patients with substance-use disorders from falling through the cracks after they are treated in Toledo area emergency departments.

As a result, anyone who enters a Mercy Health Emergency Department and screens positive for a substanceuse disorder will be connected to a treatment provider in real time.

Individuals or family members needing to connect to local accredited treatment providers, can go to FindLocalTreatment.com to find a trustworthy treatment option in Toledo.

Law You Can Use

Women have Medical marijuana now available for use unique eye health issues

By Kevin E. Griffith & Julia R. Baxter

Signed on June 8, 2016 by former Gov. John Kasich, as of January 2019 Ohio’s legalized medical marijuana law is now operational in Ohio. What does this mean for Ohio’s employers, job applicants and employees?

First, there is no Ohio law legalizing marijuana for recreational use. Rather, Ohio has only legalized the medical use of marijuana for a specified number of medical conditions. In addition, Ohio has established certain registration requirements for medical marijuana patients and caregivers.

Finally, Ohio allows registered patients to use medical marijuana only in certain ways, and smoking a “joint” is not one of them.

What the law allows Ohio’s medical marijuana law allows patients suffering from one or more of approximately 20 qualifying medical conditions (including HIV/AIDS, epilepsy, cancer, PTSD, etc.) to use medical marijuana.

The law only allows medical marijuana to be dispensed to patients or caregivers who are properly registered with the State of Ohio and who possess an Ohioissued patient or caregiver identification card.

Ohio permits registered patients to use medical marijuana via oils, tinctures or extracts, plant material, edibles (food containing THC) and patches. Vaporization of medical marijuana also is permitted but smoking and other combustion of medical marijuana are not allowed. Any retailer who is dispensing medical marijuana must have obtained and paid for a license from the Ohio Board of Pharmacy.

Marijuana and federal law While Ohio and many other states have legalized the possession and use of marijuana for certain medical conditions, marijuana itself remains a “Schedule I” controlled substance under the federal

Kevin E. Griffith

Julia R. Baxter

Controlled Substance Act. It also remains illegal for physicians to “prescribe” marijuana. Thus, all Ohioans who use medical marijuana have no protection against the consequences for violating federal criminal law, including possible fines and imprisonment. But since the Obama Administration, our federal government has purposely avoided enforcement of these types of “low level” violations as it has watched the legalized marijuana movement unfold at the state level.

Medical marijuana and the workplace Under Ohio’s medical marijuana law, employers need not accommodate a job applicant’s or employee’s use, possession, distribution, being under the influence of or testing positive for medical marijuana.

Ohio employers can discharge, discipline, refuse to hire and take any other adverse employment action against an applicant or employee because of the applicant’s or employee’s use, possession, distribution, being under the influence of or testing positive for medical marijuana. Therefore, for Ohio employers who maintain a zero-tolerance policy, medical marijuana users will be faced with a choice of not using medical marijuana or working elsewhere.

On the other hand, as Ohio employers begin to see more applicants and employees who are lawfully using medical

marijuana, some employers may decide, as a practical business matter, to make an exception for specific off-the-job and offpremises use of medical marijuana. Ohio’s law gives employers that flexibility.

This means that Ohio employers must decide whether to make an exception for medical marijuana use or not. For Ohio employers who wish to maintain a zero-tolerance policy, they should consider reviewing the company’s drug-free workplace policy. The policy should clearly state that marijuana is an illegal drug under federal law and that the employer prohibits its applicants and employees from using any form of marijuana for any purpose, including for medical use, even as allowed under Ohio or any state’s law. The policy should also prohibit illegal drug possession, use, distribution, being under the influence or testing positive regardless of where or when the use occurs, instead of simply prohibiting illegal drug possession, use, etc., “only at work,” “during work hours” or “on the premises.” Finally, the policy should define illegal drugs to include all drugs that are illegal under “federal, state or local law.”

For Ohio employers who decide to make an exception for lawful and specified use of medical marijuana, these employers, too, need to review and revise their existing policy to include the exception. But there are various legal and practical issues that will still need to be weighed and decided.

Therefore, it is recommended that the employer engage an attorney with legal and drafting experience in this developing area of the law.

This “Law You Can Use” consumer legal information column was provided by the Ohio State Bar Association (OSBA).

Articles appearing in this column are intended to provide broad, general information about the law. This article is not intended to be legal advice. Before applying this information to a specific legal problem, readers are urged to seek advice from a licensed attorney.

According to Prevent Blindness, the nation’s oldest eye health and safety non-profit organization, women have higher rates of eye diseases such as cataract, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. Women have a higher prevalence of dry eye and may also experience changes in vision related to pregnancy and menopause.

Prevent Blindness has designated April as Women’s Eye Health and Safety Month in an effort to educate women about these issues as well as provide recommendations on the best ways to take care of vision.

According to the National Eye Institute, women have greater instances of eye disorders because they tend to live longer, are more likely to undergo certain cancer treatments that may affect vision, and experience normal age-related hormonal changes that may affect their eyes. Additionally, the American Academy of Ophthalmology states that in general, women are more susceptible to autoimmune diseases than men, many of which affect vision, such as lupus, Sjögren’s syndrome and hyperthyroidism.

The Ohio Affiliate of Prevent Blindness recommends steps that should be taken to protect vision and eye health, including: • Getting regular eye exams • Quitting smoking.

• Consulting a doctor about taking nutritional supplements • Wearing UV-blocking sunglasses and a brimmed hat outdoors • Learning of any family history of eye disease • Using eye cosmetics safely • Using contact lenses safely Call Prevent Blindness at 800-3012020 or visit www.pbohio.org.

Managing Northwood Girl Scouts participate in Badge Day seasonal allergies On Saturday, March 23, about 50 secBy Gina Sares ProMedica HealthConnect If your seasonal allergies have gotten worse over the past few years, increased temperatures, humidity and air pollution may be to blame.

According to Razi Rafeeq, MD, an allergy and immunology specialist with ProMedica Physicians, these factors may be contributing to the increasing pollen counts and longer allergy seasons that we’ve seen in the past ten years.

Intense allergy seasons can be challenging for those diagnosed and undiagnosed with allergies.

“Some people know they have allergies and they have it under good control, but then the allergies come back with a vengeance,” said Dr. Rafeeq. “Others have never had allergies before and are having those symptoms for the first time. Very often they think they have a cold, but they actually have allergies.”

Generally, tree pollen allergies begin in March and last until the end of May in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan.

Tree pollens are soon followed by grass pollen which begins in early May and can last all summer. Plus, if it’s a particularly rainy spring and summer, there may be high counts of mold spores, which also contribute to seasonal allergy issues. At the end of summer, weed pollens and particularly ragweed pollen appears in the air and can cause havoc in allergy sufferers until the first frost in early October.

The overlap and back-to-back seasonal allergy seasons can be especially frustrating for those with multiple or year-round allergies.

Reducing allergy symptoms A few lifestyle changes can help those with allergies reduce their symptoms. Dr. Rafeeq suggested the following practices: • Keep your windows closed. The fresh air is an opportunity for outdoor pollen to agitate your allergies. Keep your windows closed and use air conditioning as needed.

• Plan your time outside. If you go outdoors, look at the pollen counts and plan your activities accordingly. A pollen count of ten or less is considered low, 10-100 is medium and above 100 is a high pollen count. Pollen counts are generally highest in the morning and in the late evening.

• Wash the pollen away. When you come in from the outdoors, take off your shoes and jacket. Shower and wash your hair, particularly before going to bed, otherwise the pollen will stay on your clothes and bed.

• Take your medications regularly.

Children may not always get their medications regularly as parents may only give them medicine when the allergy symptoms are bad. If you know the allergy season has started and will go on for some time, give your child their medication on a daily basis to keep symptoms at bay.

Using allergy treatments According to Dr. Rafeeq, antihistamines are typically the first choice of medication given to people with allergies. Non-sedating antihistamines that last up to 24 hours are recommended. For some, antihistamines may not be enough. Decongestants may be recommended next, but because they may raise your blood pressure, they aren’t good to take long-term. Allergy eye drops are very effective and can also be used on an as-needed basis.

In many cases, Dr. Rafeeq prefers the use of nasal steroid sprays. “They are very effective. Not only do they help with sneezing, itching and runny nose, they also help with congestion and stuffiness, unlike most antihistamines,” he explained. “They also get to the area where you need the medication, without any systemic side effects, and they are the most effective.”

If these medications aren’t enough to tackle your allergies, see a specialist.

“They need to see a board-certified allergy/immunologist specialist to confirm that they have allergies and to identify what they are allergic to and to look at all the treatment options,” said Dr. Rafeeq.

“Specialists have many other treatment options to consider when medications fail,” said Dr. Rafeeq. “Allergy immunotherapy, for instance, gives individuals small amounts of the allergens to desensitize and teach the immune system to tolerate the allergens—often permanently.” These can be done as allergy shots or under the tongue (sublingual) tablets for some allergies.

ond- and third-grade girls participated in the “My Best Self” badge day presented by the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio and supported by Medical Mutual.

The girls earned their badge by participating in four different sessions at the company headquarters on Sylvania Ave. The sessions were led by Medical Mutual volunteers. The Girl Scouts of Western Ohio created the curriculum for the day.

The girls participated in a fitness session in the company’s wellness center.

They met nurses to learn about their profession and listen to their heartbeat with a stethoscope. They created “happy boxes” to take home and fill with things that make them feel good. They learned about how to identify if they are feeling sick or stressed and what to do to deal with it.

On March 23, Northwood Elementary scouts participated in the “My Best Self” badge day, where they participated in fitness sessions at Medical Mutual offices in Sylvania.

Hesssman perfect fit to lead new Mud Hens players

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Toledo Mud Hens skipper Doug Mientkiewicz is back for a second season managing his hometown club.

His staff includes Mike Hessman, who returns to Toledo as the team’s hitting coach. Hessman is the all-time home run leader for the Hens, the International League and Minor League Baseball.

Hessman knows Toledo so well, he is the perfect fit to lead a bunch of new ballplayers, and some returning players, as the Mud Hens began their chase for an International League crown last week.

Hessman played for the Toledo Mud Hens from 2005-2009, and also in 2014 and 2015. Hessman set the career minor league record for home runs with 433. He played 19 seasons in the minors, breaking the previous home run record of 432, set by Buzz Arlett in 1936.

“I’m excited to be back,” Hessman said. “I have a lot of history here with this city and won a couple championships here, and on a personal level, breaking the home run record in a Mud Hens uniform. It’s always great to be back here, great place to play, great atmosphere, and I’m looking forward to another successful year.”

The Mud Hens jersey Hessman wore when hitting homer No. 433 – a grand slam against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs on Aug. 3, 2015 – now hangs in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Hessman, who also played professional ball in Japan, Venezuela and Mexico, was a member of 17 different teams in his 20year career. He also represented Team USA at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and, fittingly enough, hit a home run.

Hessman did play parts of five seasons in the majors, logging 109 games with the Atlanta Braves, New York Mets and Detroit Tigers. He batted .188 with 14 home runs, 33 RBIs and 79 strikeouts in 250 at-bats.

Hessman is even the subject of a song

by Boston-area singer-songwriter Howie Newman and is included on the album, “When You’re Happy.” Titled “The Ballad of Mike Hessman (Minor League Home Run King),” it chronicles Hessman’s 20-year baseball career that began in 1996.

“I read about Mike in Sports Illustrated and thought it was a very interesting story,” said Newman, who has penned 11 other baseball songs among the 100 or so that he has written. “Here was a guy who must have really loved the game to have stayed with it that long and persevered through all the moving around and changing teams.”

Hessman is part of a coaching staff that has to take on players who want to win, but at the same time, want to get to the Major Leagues any way they can.

“We’ve got a really good group,” Hessman said. “They get along well, they play the game hard, and they get after it.

We’ll just try to stay out of their way and turn them loose and let them have at it.

“We’ve got some guys who are up and coming, for sure, like (outfielder) Daz Cameron, a couple arms that are here.

We’ve got some guys who can play, like (infielder Brandon) Dixon from the Reds from last year. There are some guys here who can handle the bat and if they do that it should be a fun summer.”

As hitting coach, Hessman knows his task, but says there are a lot of variables

Players and coaches gather for Mud Hens media day. Above, Caleb Thielbar signs a helmet. (Press photos by Ken Grosjean) with each player.

“Each guy is different, so you have to spend some time with them to develop a relationship — kind of see where they are at, see where their strengths and weaknesses are and attack it from there,” Hessman said.

“Obviously, we are trying to keep their head above water as far as staying positive throughout the year. It can be like a roller coaster being called up and down and when those moves happen you have to keep them level headed and make sure they are going about their business in a positive way so they can get another opportunity.”

Juan Nieves will begin his first season in Toledo as pitching coach and Basilio Cabrera returns for his fourth season as third base coach. Athletic trainer Chris McDonald is back for his sixth season in Toledo and Jeff Mathers returns for a second season as Toledo’s strength and conditioning coach.

Nieves says it will be difficult to know who the top pitchers will be as the season gets underway.

“It will always be hard. Everybody is a prospect,” Nieves said. “Overall, you have the best pitchers of different age groups — of course, you have first year guys in the big leagues. Triple A always has that. You have the first year guys in Triple A, the veteran guys who have been up and down and had a cup of coffee and came back, so actually it’s a 22 to 32 year age group. It’s a great blend. You have the veteran guys and the younger guys who can bring plenty of energy. We have great arms and we look forward to seeing how they can pitch.”

For Nieves, who has been with other organizations, this is his first time in Toledo as a coach or player. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t been in Toledo before.

Gibsonburg’s softball program entering a new era

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Gibsonburg softball is well respected throughout Ohio, winning three state titles from 2001-03 and finishing as state runnerup in 2004.

In the 21st Century, the Golden Bears have been perennial contenders at the regional tournament and the number of league and tournament championships is in double digits. In just the last six years under coach Martin Brown, Gibsonburg has won five Toledo Area Athletic Conference titles and four district titles.

Brown’s teams over that time have gone 112-19, and last year the Golden Bears were 19-6 overall and 10-0 in the TAAC. Now, Coach Brown leads his team into a new era, competing in the Sandusky Bay Conference River Division. His team returns nine lettermen.

“We are hopeful to finish within the top three teams,” Brown said. “We know going into this season that we are going to be up against tougher competition in the SBC than what we were accustomed to in the TAAC. Regardless of wins and losses, this competition will better prepare us for the state tournament.

“Our strong point is simple; these girls have the drive and desire it takes to look beyond the personal goals and reach the ultimate goal as a team.”

The team has gotten off to a good start, defeating Woodmore, 2-1, Genoa, 7-1, Danbury, 36-0, and Tiffin Calvert, 141. Danbury and Calvert are both SBC River Division teams, which bodes well for the Golden Bears, as they have outscored league opponents by a combined 50-1 in their first two games.

Two non-league losses were both one run games, coming at the hands of Elmwood, 7-6, and Oak Harbor, 6-5.

Top returnees include senior pitcher Jasmine McNett, senior third baseman Emily Roberts, and senior shortstop Keely Snyder. McNett and Snyder were second team All-TAAC last year and McNett was honorable mention in district voting.

McNett will play for Owens Community

Gibsonburg senior Keely Snyder slides into third. (Press photo by Doug HIse) College next year and Snyder will head to Malone University.

Gibsonburg returns four players who batted over .300 last year, including sophomore Mariana Alejandro (.528), McNett (.458, eight home runs), Snyder (.422) and senior Emily Roberts (.333). Brown expects these four, along with junior Coral Kocsis and freshman Camren Krotzer, to be his top hitters again this year, and there is a reason for that.

“These girls put in extra time to be productive at the plate,” Brown said. “Mariana Alejandro did not start with the varsity squad in 2018, but her improving batting average not only had her on the varsity squad by the third week of the season, but she was eventually our lead-off hitter batting .528 for the season.”

Against Woodmore, McNett went 3-for3 with a double and an RBI as Woodmore pitcher Sydni Buhrow took the loss.

Against Genoa, McNett was 3-for-4 with two doubles, Alejandro was 3-for-4 with two RBIs and Snyder was 2-for-4 with a double, home run and three RBIs. Sarah Blousey took the loss for the Comets.

Against Danbury, McNett was 5-for6 with a triple, double and seven RBIs. Snyder was 4-for-5 with two doubles and five RBIs, Kocsis was 2-for-2 with a double and RBI and sophomore Marissa Bruns was 2-for-2 with a double and two RBIs. In the win over Calvert, Krotzer was 2-for-2 with two doubles and two RBIs and Alejandro was 2-for-4 with a double, triple and two RBIs. Brown is making some moves on defense due to graduation. Pitcher Jasmine McNett got the win in every Gibsonburg victory so far, pitching a two-hit shutout against Danbury, and just allowing Calvert to get three hits.

“Jasmine McNett took over the pitching duties this year. She moves the ball around nicely, which should help keep some hitters from crowding the plate,” Brown said.

“Keely Snyder was moved from center field to shortstop this season. She has great range and even when she is deep in the hole she has the strong arm it takes to throw runners out at first base,” Brown continued.

“Camren Krotzer is behind the plate for us and is currently in the six hole in the batting order. She has great potential on both sides of the ball and we are excited about her future with our program.

“If we have a weakness, I would have to say it is the fact that we are still trying to work out some kinks with our defense. Only third basemen Emily Roberts is playing at the same position as last year, third base. We have the talent needed at each position; they just need a little more playing time together.”

In the loss to Elmwood, Madilynn Zender was 2-for-3 with a double and home run in helping the Royals overcome the Bears. Against Oak Harbor, Tori Smith held the Bears to four hits while Kaitlynn Sandwisch was 3-for-4 with an RBI. For Gibsonburg, Snyder was 2-for-4 with a double, triple, and two RBIs. The Rockets scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh to win the game.

When eight of 10 local prep football teams finish the season .500 or better, those coaches typically are honored.

That’s what the National Football Foundation did at its annual banquet — honored four local coaches who led their teams to league championships — Mike May (Oak Harbor), Mike Lee (Gibsonburg), Paul Patterson (Genoa) and Ken James (Northwood). A fifth coach, Fred Koester, was honored posthumously.

Fred Koester began his football career at Genoa High School where he served as co-captain during his senior year. He was named first team All-Northern Lakes League and voted Most Valuable Lineman of 1960.

After graduation, he got a walk-on position on the Bowling Green State University football team. He lettered under coach Doyt Petty and in three years the varsity team recorded a 26-4-1 record and Mid-American Conference championships in 1961 and 1962. He also enjoyed playing in the Los Angeles Coliseum in the Mercy Bowl.

After college, his first teaching and coaching position was at Eastwood High School. During his 15 years as an assistant and head football coach, he helped guide Eastwood to an NLL championship in 1966 under head coach Ed Barney and as head coach led the Eagles to Suburban Lakes League titles in 1974 and 1977. His 1977 team had a perfect 10-0 season and he was voted SLL and Class AA Northwest Ohio District Coach of the Year.

In 1980, he moved onto Rossford where he served as defensive coordinator under coach Tom Ferguson for 17 years. He helped lead the Bulldogs to four NLL championships and six state playoffs. In addition, he coached with Ferguson in four all-star games. Throughout his 32 years of coaching, he worked with 16 all-state players and 11 NFF and hall of fame scholar athletes.

Koester, who resided in Northwood, was honored with inductions into the Genoa Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Eastwood Alumni Association’s Eagle Way Hall of Fame in 2016. Koester was nominated for Eastwood’s hall of fame by former football player Doug Albright, who played for that 1977 undefeated team.

Koester retired in 1996, but stayed in contact with his coaching friends, football players and students.

“He had a commanding presence, strove for excellence and tackled life with a purpose. He exhibited honor, courage and dignity to the end,” stated his NFF bio.

When Koester was asked to assist the coaching staff at the annual Regional All-Star Football Game at Whitmer’s Memorial Stadium, it marked 52 years since he first began on the gridiron as a Genoa Comet in 1956.

That 2008 Perrysburg annual Regional All-Star Football Game at Whitmer’s Memorial Stadium provided a chance for Koester to catch up on his old football buddies, too, including many who he coached with, coached against, and many who he coached.

For instance, former Lake coach Mark Emans, who was an Eastwood linebacker who went on to become an All-American at Bowling Green and played briefly with the Green Bay Packers, was in attendance. At the time, Emans was the coach at Wauseon High School.

“I saw Mark Emans, and he had both of his twins playing in this game. When he played for me, he was a heck of a ballplayer, too. I saw a number of kids who played for me that I know,” Koester told The Press in 2008.

Mike May just completed his 11th year as head football coach at Oak Harbor. In 2018, the Rockets won the Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division championship, qualified for the playoffs and finished with an overall record of 10-2. The Rockets won a home playoff game for the first time since 2006.

Prior to Oak Harbor, May served as the defensive coordinator at St. Marys Memorial from 2000-07. He helped lead the Roughriders to six playoff appearances, including a state runner-up finish in 2004. He also coached at Elmwood for three years and Ohio Northern University for one season.

Mike and his wife Kelli are both graduates of Vanlue High School and have been married 20 years. They reside

Leady’s Eagles seeking third straight 20-win season

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Kevin Leady knows something about cultivating potential.

Eastwood’s eighth-year baseball coach invested in several young players three and four years ago, and it resulted in unprecedented success for the Eagles’ program.

Four four-year starters graduated last year after helping Eastwood win a school single-season record 26 games. Those four players were members of teams that finished 9-17 in 2015 and followed with records of 21-6, 21-6 and 26-4.

The Eagles reached the regional semifinals in 2016 and won a share of the Northern Buckeye Conference title, the program’s first conference championship in 21 years. Eastwood reached the regional finals two years ago – tying for the longest postseason run in school history - and won the NBC championship last season for its first outright conference crown in 41 years.

Leady, who has 120 wins as the Eagles’ coach, lost six three-year starters off last year’s squad.

“Those kids played some serious ball,” Leady said.

Eastwood is off to a 3-1 start this season, beating Northwood, Oak Harbor and Waite and losing to Central Catholic after committing five errors. The Eagles have two returning starters in senior pitcher/catcher Justin Pickerel, a three-year starter, and senior center fielder Gavin Slattman. Pickerel was a first-team All-NBC utility player last year, and Slattman, who was hitting .571 through four games this season, was named honorable mention at second base.

“The biggest thing I like about this team is team chemistry,” Leady said. “We have a bunch of guys who only care about the end result. We are 15 strong; we only have 15 guys on the varsity team and everyone matters. The last three years I’ve been able to write a very similar lineup every game.

We may have 27 different lineups this year. I may rotate people based on pitching matchups - who is pitching and who isn’t pitching.

Guys know they are competing for jobs and they just want their name in the lineup.”

said he’s already started three freshmen in some games this season, “and even some of the juniors and seniors, most of these guys had not played a varsity inning” entering this season.

“Gavin and Justin have significant time (on varsity),” said Leady, who has already used as many as six left-handed hitters in the lineup. “The rest of them, this early in the season, we’re getting our feet wet. We’re playing some teams that push you, and I couldn’t be happier at 3-1. We are going to be very competitive, and there are going to be games like at Central Catholic, where we’re going to kick the ball around (defensively) a little bit.”

The rest of the pitching staff includes senior left-hander Noah Hahn, juniors Noah Henline and lefty Caleb Peters, sophomores Jared McNulty and lefty Isaac Badenhop, and freshman Lake Boos. Leady said Pickerel is the only pitcher with previous varsity experience, and Henline will be asked to carry a lot of the load as well.

“Henline throws strikes and has good pop,” Leady said. “He can hold runners well and I like how he’s in control during a game. He had a great year on the mound in jayvee ball last year, and he’s going to be a big part of the reason we have success. If we win some of the big games in the league, its because of Noah and Justin giving us a chance.”

Hahn earned his first career win against Northwood, while Peters and Boos did the same thing against Oak Harbor and Waite, respectively. The Eagles’ team ERA after four games is 1.88.

“After seeing these guys pitch, I’m not concerned,” Leady said. “They’ve come a long way and they have grown up a ton.

Our team ERA, for a team that returned virtually no pitching, that’s solid for this early in the year.”

Pickerel and freshman Andrew Arnston, who led the team in hitting (.625) through four games, will share the catching duties. The rest of Eastwood’s lineup consists of either Hahn or Peters at first base, junior second baseman Griffin Coffield, freshman Isaac Cherry at shortstop, Henline or McNulty at third base, Boos in right field and either Badenhop, Peters or junior Paul Smith in left field.

“Our guys have done pretty well,” Leady said. “We are going to have some growing pains, but that’s part of having young players.”

Inspirational Message of the Week: Putting Gratitude in Our Lives We all know how nice it is to be thanked for some small kindness or good deed which we have done for another. But perhaps more important than the warm feeling that we get when someone expresses their gratitude to us, is the positive outlook that gratitude usually engenders in the person who is grateful. That is, the feeling of being grateful helps to keep us focused on the positive.

Instead of harping on how bad things are, or regretting the past, gratitude looks for the positive aspect and the silver lining. And although we all may occasionally feel sorry for ourselves, we can

Northwood

alleviate some of these feelings by getting into the habit of reminding ourselves of how much we have to be thankful for. Our good health, having friends and family who care about us, and even something as mundane as going to work, are truly things for which we ought to be grateful. We should spend some time each day counting our blessings. We might be pleasantly surprised to find that this exercise itself will make our lives better. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. N.I.V. 1 Chronicles 16:34
