Kmart

Oregon to finalize agreement for property Oregon on Monday held a meeting on downtown development in city council chambers. The focus was mostly on the development of property where the former Kmart store is located on Navarre Avenue, an area where the city wants to develop a downtown area. Oregon in the last couple of years has been in the process of acquiring property in an effort to create a downtown area. In 2017, council passed a resolution in support of designating a zoning overlay as the first step in creating a downtown area that would include retail, residential, an entertainment district, and open green space along Navarre Avenue. The overlay district covers three areas bordered by Isaac Streets Drive, Navarre Avenue, Coy Road, Dustin Road, and Pickle Road, an area that totals 167 acres. The goal of the overlay district is to make it easier for the city to welcome modern development. Developers will have the option to bring buildings up closer to the front lot line to make some walkable space, and to move in some innovative ways with

parking. To that end, the city acquired 30 acres of property from Navarre Avenue to Pickle Road, and property south of Dustin Road, including the former WOHO radio station property on Pickle Road. Plans call for that area to be mixed use residential and retail development. The city appropriated $3 million in the municipal budget for land acquisition and development in the core of the city. Oregon purchased the 30-acre site, behind the former Kmart on Navarre, for $1.4

Due diligence Oregon also authorized a ground lease/ purchase agreement for the former Kmart property for a 120 day due diligence period that ends on April 26. The city wants the property as part of its downtown development project. During the due diligence period, the city wanted to determine whether it should enter into a 10-year lease with an option at the end of the 10 years to buy the property for $3.7 million, with lease payments of approximately $300,000 per year during the period. The city also had to determine whether the cost of demolition, the interest in development, and its capacity to develop were practical in an effort to move forward. Final engineering estimates will be obtained for demolition to determine suitability for possible development. “We’re in the final weeks of our due diligence phase,” City Administrator Mike Beazley said at the meeting on Monday. “The title work is in its final stages.” The administration has recommended the city move forward with the agreement, Continued on page 2

A bill that would reform brownfield regulations in Ohio has been re-introduced in the state legislature. Representative Steve Arndt, R – Port Clinton, said House Bill 168 would stimulate economic development by incorporating into Ohio law the federal bona fide prospective purchaser defense for someone interested in purchasing contaminated properties. Rep. Arndt provided sponsor testimony for the bill last week to the House Civil Justice Committee. “In many areas throughout Ohio, there are many slightly contaminated properties, like the site of former gas stations or dry cleaning businesses, that are not currently in productive use simply because of a business our current regulatory structure says is too cost prohibitive for developers to pursue,” he told the committee. The federal purchaser defense was established as part of the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) – the program created to regulate what are called Superfund sites. Arndt said federal statute provides purchasers with an affirmative defense who have knowledge of existing contamination if the purchaser follows the appropriate protocol. His bill would establish state level immunity for potential purchasers of contaminated property through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency if the protocol already in place in federal law is followed. Under the protocol, potential purchasers would have to review federal and state databases for information about possible contamination on the property, interview persons knowledgeable about the property and have the property inspected by an environmental professional for signs of contamination.

added Beazley. Legislation on the matter will go before council within the next couple of weeks. “We’re ready to move forward,” he said. The owner of the property wants the buildings torn down before the city takes possession, said Beazley. He estimates it will cost the city over $200,000 to tear down the buildings and abate some asbestos found at the site. The city will also bear the annual property taxes of $60,000. Beazley broke down the agreement: In years 1-5, the city will be pay $282,060 annually in lease payments. In years 6-10, the city will pay $307,000 annually. Oregon will then buy the property in the 11th year for $3.7 million. Interested tenants The city already has tenants interested in leasing some of the property, which will help cover the costs, said Beazley. “Ultimately, our expectation is, we’re going to put a developer in our shoes. This is a risk the city is going to take. We know there are some commercial lots of about 1 acre each selling for up to $700,000 to $1.2 million in the area. We know we can carve out three or four lots across the front of the

property and still have acreage in the back. We believe we can get that return,” he said. The city also wants to make an assessment of developers who are interested in the property. He said there are some developers who have expressed a “strong interest” in bringing in restaurants, movie theaters, medical offices and residential. “We have enough land available that we think we can achieve residential, from single family homes to senior oriented town houses, to an apartment complex that works for younger people closer to Isaac Streets Drive,” he said. There is also enough land for a mixed use office/retail/restaurant area. One of the developers did a drive through of the city last week. He had pointed out to Beazley the advantage of traffic heading to the Lake Erie islands, Cedar Point, and the local hospitals. “Our two hospitals bring in economic energy. There are thousands of people per day in and out of those hospitals – patients, visitors, doctors, sales people, nurses, technicians, people who go in for tests. And they become customers for other businesses in the area,” he said. The city also has access to I-280, another advantage. “The developer said when he sees the expressway exits both north and south of this site, it’s something they believe can benefit restaurants. They want that expressway access. They said they can make this a regional attraction that works for Oregon,” said Beazley.

Reform bill receives hearing “If any of the due diligence steps indicate that there is contamination present on the property, the prospective purchaser must cooperate with any reasonable steps in the future to stop ongoing releases and prevent exposure,” Arndt told the committee. Implementing such a program for prospective buyers on sites in Ohio would bring the state in line with Indiana and Michigan which have already incorporated language from the federal regulations or similar language into state law, he said. He said HB 168 is identical to a bill he introduced last year that didn’t make it out of committee before the legislature’s session ended. Beginning in 2002 through the final funding round in 2013, the Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund programs provided grant assistance to communities to redevelop brownfield sites. According to the Ohio Development Services Agency, the programs redeveloped more than 380 former commercial and industrial properties that, in turn, created more than 3,800 acres of development ready land. A white paper released last year by the Greater Ohio Policy Center identifies funding options it recommends for consideration for remediation programs, including: -Redirecting existing revenue from the JobsOhio Revitalization Program, the liquor profits that JobsOhio returns to the

state or the Abandoned Gas Station Fund. -Expanding the sales tax to include additional services not currently subject to the sales tax. -Eliminating certain tax expenditures that have a diminished level of appropriateness given the time period they were enacted and the state’s current economy. In a statement issued last year, the GOPC said the bill would “fill the gap in brownfields redevelopment by aligning Ohio with the federal Bona Fide Prospective Purchaser defense. The BFPP defense offers a much more cost-effective means to putting brownfields into productive use because the BFPP defense does not require a full-blown assessment and cleanup of a prospective property.” Ohio has more than 9,000 brownfields, according to the policy center. Rep. Arndt last week said local officials affiliated with landbanks have expressed support for the bill. “Now they’re only operating under Ohio law, thinking they are exempt from any kind of responsibility if they acquire a site that has any type of contamination,” he said. “When I indicated to them my bill would add a layer of protection for them as long as they follow the CERCLA laws on these sites, some were a little shocked when they realized they could be exposed if they acquired an old gas station or restaurant that had a gas station or something like that.”

‘Stop the bleed classes’ helps save lives By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Attending a free community event on May 23 at the Oregon Public Library may very well save a life. May 23 is Stop the Bleed Day, a nationwide campaign that highlights ways a bystander can help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives. Local health care professionals will be on hand at the library to educate the public on life saving techniques to stop the loss of blood, according to Alexis Bolanis, trauma program coordinator at Mercy St. Charles Hospital. It takes just five minutes for a person to bleed to death without some kind of intervention. The class will show the public how to pack open wounds, how to apply tourniquets to wounded limbs, and pressure to bleeding arteries that will give a bleeding victim a chance to survive. There will also be health care professionals available to educate the public on how to treat other emergency situations. “The Oregon Police Division will conduct two classes of ALICE training. It teaches you what to do in an active shooter situation. It’s also taught in schools and churches. And the Oregon Fire Department and EMS will offer CPR training and ADD alert awareness. So we’ll all be there throughout the day,” she said.

Sandy Hook Stop the Bleed was developed after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that killed 20 children and six staff members in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012, she said. “After Sandy Hook Elementary happened, they found that a handful of people who were shot who didn’t make it probably would have made it if someone in the school or near them would have known to stop the bleeding,” said Bolanis. “Instead of dying of their injuries, some people bled to death. Mass shootings, unfortunately, are happening in places where you don’t have a trauma surgeon or a nurse nearby who can stop the bleeding.” Stop the Bleed is an initiative that partnered with the military, which knows how to stop bleeding on the battlefield, she said. “Basically, bleeding can be stopped by applying a tourniquet to an injured limb or holding pressure on wounds if the wounds are in the abdomen or chest area. You can’t always stop bleeding in the stomach or chest, so you stuff something in there. You can make a tourniquet out of anything. People might be afraid to even use a dirty T- shirt in a stab wound because it might cause an infection. But we don’t care if it’s dirty. Stuff it in there. It’s OK to do that. It’s what you have to do to save their lives. We can deal with an infection later,” she said. Tourniquet safe For years, some have believed the use

of a tourniquet would destroy tissue, and lead to an amputation. Bolanis said it is not true – at least in the short term. “You actually have to have a tourniquet on for two hours before you face loss of limb. That’s a really significant period of time,” she said. “The number one priority in any traumatic situation is to stop the bleeding.” In trauma nursing classes, she was taught to assess injures using the ABC approach: Check the patient’s airway, breathing, then the circulation. “Now they teach you to always check for bleeding first. Then you do the airway, breathing, and circulation. It’s something that has come full circle. We really need to be aware that people are bleeding to death.” The actual Stop the Bleed course is about an hour long, she said. Sometimes she goes to schools, churches and other places to teach the class, “places where shootings can happen.” At a recent mass shooting, she said some of the people had taken the course and had saved several lives by stopping the bleeding. “So it’s working, it’s getting out there, it’s happening.” Registration is not required to attend the classes, which are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The public can attend any of the classes. “They don’t need to be there the whole day,” she said.

BP was major donor in lake bill initiative By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Campaign finance reports filed with the Lucas County Board of Elections show that the Toledo Jobs and Growth Coalition spent almost $306,000 to sway Toledo voters to not support the Lake Erie Bill of Rights ballot initiative in February. With 6,260 actually voting against the measure, that comes to about $49 a vote. By contrast, Toledoans for Safe Water spent just under $5,900 in support of the issue and saw it pass by about 61 percent with 9,955 votes. Voter turnout was low at about 9 percent. What’s especially irksome to the backers of the initiative is almost the entire source of the coalition’s funding is from B.P. Corp. North America, Inc., Houston, Texas, which is listed as donating $302,000 to the anti-LEBOR campaign. “The time has come for corporateowned politics to take a backseat to the citizen-led efforts and movements for change. We want to be the ones who influence and shape our communities to reflect our values and protection for the city we call home,” said LEBOR organizer Julian Mack.

The expense reports for the Toledo Jobs and Growth Coalition show that most of its funding was spent on out-of-state consulting, legal and advertising firms: -Yellowstone Associates (Virginia), $10,000 for consulting - Shumaker Advisors (Ohio), $10,000 for consulting - Chain Bridge Bank (Virginia) - $140 for bank fees - Battleground Strategies, LLC (Ohio) $25,000 - general campaign consulting - CrossRoads Media, LLC (Virginia) -$105,444 for radio ad production and placement - DDC Public Affairs (Washington, DC) - $10,000 for digital ad production and placement - Langdon Law, LLC (Ohio) - $10,000 for legal fees - New Troy Strategies (Virginia) $122,352.39 for campaign outreach, direct mail, radio ads, text messages and phone calls. The campaign refunded $12,708 back to BP Corp. Advocates for a Clean Lake Erie donated $1,000 to Toledoans for Safe Water on Jan. 16 and $500 on Feb. 27 – the day after the election. Crystal Jankowski, a member

of Toledoans for Safe Water, donated $1,000 but most of the donations to the group were well under $100. LEBOR grants legal rights to the Great Lake and its watershed as an amendment to Toledo’s charter. According to Toledoans for Safe Water, it will be the first U.S. law of its kind. The Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund drafted the bill of rights for the lake at the request of Toledoans for Safe Water, which then gathered signatures to qualify the measure for the ballot. But no sooner were the election results announced than a member of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation filed a lawsuit to prevent the ballot measure’s enactment. Mark Drewes, a director of The Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association whose family farms in Custar, O., filed the lawsuit in Federal District Court for Northern Ohio, challenging the constitutionality of LEBOR. The suit argues LEBOR violates federal constitutional rights, including equal protection, freedom of speech and is unenforceable for its vagueness. In March, the court issued a preliminary injunction that prevents the city from enforcing LEBOR while the case proceeds.

Oregon to finalize agreement for Kmart property Continued from page 2

desire to have downtown development and why there was so much interest in acquiring the Kmart property. Council President Dennis Walendzak said that when Kmart closed its store a few years ago, city officials expressed concerns about what could be done with the property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How could we prevent the building from potentially sitting vacant in Oregon?â&#x20AC;? said Walendzak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What could we do to direct what happens? As a company goes bankrupt, that building could potentially be sold in a bankrupcy hearing and we would then have no control over what kind of tenant goes inside that building.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Mike Seferian said the city made improvements to Navarre Avenue to make the area safer, and more attractive to future development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were always looking for something that could stimulate potential retail investors to come to our city. When I first got elected mayor, Mike Beazley asked me what my long term goal was. The long term goal was, we would try to develop something that we would call our style of downtown along that Navarre Avenue corridor. So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking, what could we do to entice developers to want to locate a business here. So we started working on a plan to come up with some concept. We knew it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen overnight.â&#x20AC;? Risk A little over 15 years ago, the city and the Oregon Economic Development Foundation bought 150 acres of land to develop into industrial space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did it without a development partner that was committed to buying it, they did it without specific plans for all that land, and did it not to be land developers, but to help shape the future for Oregon. That was one of the smartest moves that Oregon could have made.â&#x20AC;? There were people who criticized it at the time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; added Beazley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said, `Why should the city get involved in this?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? But it was on that land where ware-

housing was developed, as well as the Oregon Clean Energy plant, Fresenius, a medical care facility, and Autoneum, a manufacturing auto supply facility, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been well over $1 billion in capital investment, and hundreds of jobs that came from the city stepping up and taking risk. Smart cities go out and do those things. It was not done as an investment in land, but it was done as an investment in the future. That sort of approach really invested in the future in Oregon.â&#x20AC;? When he first came to Oregon as administrator, Beazley said council members and the public wanted restaurants and retail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retail is harder than it used to be. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still opportunity for retail. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re blessed with some wonderful businesses at our core. But our community has told us they want more restaurant choices. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably our number one target. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited about that opportunity.â&#x20AC;? Beazley said the city decided to take more risk by seeking to acquire the Kmart property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started talking to developers, especially when it became clear that Kmart was going to close. More than 5 years ago, that handwriting was on the wall as other Kmart locations were closing in this market. We looked at the challenges we had before. The last time we had a big box store had gone dark on Navarre, it stayed empty for almost 15 years. We saw what happened at the corner of Holland-Sylvania and Central, where the Kmart store has been at that site, which is now grass growing through asphalt, and land that has been empty for many years with semi trucks parked on it at an important intersection. In talking to our council members, we concluded we could not afford that kind of risk in Oregon. There is risk associated with moving forward, but there was greater risk for Oregon with stepping back and not doing anything and hoping it would work,â&#x20AC;? he said. Infrastructure When city officials started talking to developers, they were told that the desire for the type of restaurants they wanted was hampered by space, attractive layout and

(Press photo by Ken Grosjean) investment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why city officials looked at making Navarre more attractive and safer, with the investment in turnlanes, public space and streetscape,â&#x20AC;? said Beazley. He added that is why there is more investment in infrastructure planned along the Navarre Avenue corridor, including improvements at the corner of Coy and Navarre. Another challenge is providing â&#x20AC;&#x153;walkable space.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of great housing in Oregon, wonderful subdivisions,â&#x20AC;? said Beazley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We met with realtors across Northwest Ohio. One of the things we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offering was a walkable space. It is something offered in Sylvania, Perrysburg and Maumee. People in the generation behind me are looking to buy a house or condo, and be able to walk to a coffee shop, restaurant, or tavern. They want to have that walkable experience. If I look at land sales and housing sales in those areas, there

are lots of people who could be here making those choices.â&#x20AC;? The city also looked at quality rental options for people who may work in Oregon but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of people working in our hospitals who live in Perrysburg because they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been offered that quality rental. They do not see an option available to them to meet the lifestyle they are looking for,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we look at Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demographics, we are among the oldest communities in the region. We have fewer school children. For a variety of reasons, we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attracted that next generation of home buyer. So for those of you who are here, we want to make sure that someone is ready to buy your house and attract people who make their life here. We have to make sure we have a great range of choices, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re missing that niche.

2-1-1 transfer

referral. With the move, UWGT will gain the ability to text message 2-1-1 Navigation Specialists and remote Navigation Specialists in Northwest Ohio will prioritize Northwest Ohio calls. UWGT will also receive daily quality assurance reports that will be shared with staff, donors and community members.

On July 1, 2019, United Way of Greater Toledo (UWGT) will be transferring its 2-11 operations from United Way of Greater Cleveland (UWGC) to “Gryphon Place,” a well-developed and long-established social service resource center in Kalamazoo, Michigan. United Way 2-1-1 is a free, 24/7, 365day information and referral service line, available to all residents across Lucas, Wood and Ottawa County. In 2016, UWGT relocated its 2-1-1 operations to UWGC, having signed a two-year contract agreement, which has now expired. The predominant factor behind UWGT’s move to Gryphon Place is due to a rise in service costs, increasing from $450,000 (2016 -2019) to $654,000 (2019 and beyond) a year. The decision to relocate UWGT’s 2-1-1 services to Gryphon Place was done so after ongoing meetings with local agencies, hospitals, elected officials, city/county representatives, Fire & Safety, Job & Family Services, and mental health and recovery services, who approved of the transfer. Gryphon Place will be hiring a fulltime 2-1-1 director and coordinated access specialist, who will reside in UWGT’s office, overseeing local 2-1-1 functionalities and 2-1-1 outreach and engagement. “Restoring a degree of local presence for 2-1-1 is very critical to its success. This is the feedback we are hearing the most from community members,” said Jill Bunge, director of Community Impact at UWGT. Gryphon Place will also be hiring 2-11 navigation specialists that will telework and answer calls from their home. These individuals will be from, and located in, Northwest Ohio. The contract with Gryphon Place will cost $465,000 a year. UWGT will retain online access to the 2-1-1 database for community members, instant online messaging with 2-1-1 Navigation Specialists and coordinated access for direct homeless shelter

Forum set for 2 judicial candidates The Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 109 will host a candidates’ forum for the Perrysburg Municipal Court judge position on April 23 at the Lake Township Administration Building, 27975 Cummings Rd. at 7 p.m. Incumbent Aram Ohanian and challenger C. Drew Griffith, both of Perrysburg, are vying for the Republican party’s nod for the judgeship, with a term beginning Jan. 1, 2020. The winner of the May 7 primary election takes the judicial post unless an independent candidate files for the race by May 6. If that occurs, the independent candidate would then face off with either Griffith or Ohanian in November. The forum will be open to the public. “Those attending will have an opportunity to ask questions of the candidates,” Mark Hummer, Lake Township administrator, said. “This is a very important election that will place an individual in the local courtroom for several years, so the public needs to know where the candidates stand on issues about which local residents are concerned.” Both candidates have extensive legal backgrounds, he said. “Mr. Griffith is currently a magistrate with Northwood Mayor’s Court, and Mr. Ohanian has been the Perrysburg Municipal Court judge since January.” For more information regarding the forum call the Fraternal Order of Police, 419353-9728.

Your Voice on the Street: By Stephanie Wade What is your favorite Subway sub concoction?

The Press Poll The Ohio legislature has passed a bill that would ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected. In practice, that could make abortion illegal after six weeks. Do you agree with the bill’s intent? Do you disagree?

Steve Belcher Gibsonburg “The Subway Club. It’s got turkey, ham, and roast beef on it. I used to get it on the Monterey cheddar cheese bread or on the Italian with provolone cheese. Not toasted. Then I get it topped with mayo banana pepper and light lettuce.”

Kaleb Rucker Millbury “Meatball Marinara on Italian, toasted with provolone cheese and parmesan. It’s warm and delightful.”

Jocelynn Whitt Millbury “Turkey, American cheese, ham and salami on wheat bread. Not toasted. No veggies, no sauce, no nothing.”

Amanda Bowers Millbury “The Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. I like it on the tomato basil wrap with pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle and sweet onion sauce. It’s sweet and savory.”

Jim Romp Toledo “I like the Meatball Marinara sub and I like it with just a lot of jalapenos on it. I get it on Italian Herb and Cheese bread with mozzarella, toasted with parmesan cheese. Some restaurants have crushed red pepper... I get that if they have it.”

Investing in yourself provides benefits for a lifetime

Correction An article in the April 8 issue of The Press incorrectly stated that property along Woodville Road in Lake Township where a car wash is located was recently rezoned. The Wood County auditor’s website lists a commercial building at the property since 1997. The car wash site is adjacent to two parcels that are being used to temporarily store piles of leaves before they are composted. The two parcels are the subject of a zoning disagreement between the owner of the Woodville Road Nursery, who owns the parcels, and residents of Bailey Road.

“

The more you invest, the faster your assets grow.

“

Investing for your financial security is a sound economic strategy. It allows you to build your finances so you can afford major purchases and travel, as well as building your retirement fund. Common investments include stocks, real estate, money market funds, and businesses. Although financial investments are common, investing in yourself is not as widespread as it should be. As well as investing in your economic future, you also want to invest in yourself. Doing so provides priceless benefits which last a lifetime. Start with developing well defined, meaningful goals. Goals provide you with direction and purpose which guides you through identifying meaningful priorities. Knowing what you want helps determine the best strategy for getting it. Keep learning. Education is one of your best investments. Acquiring new skills, which enable you to accelerate the progress to your goals, is an investment with constant returns. Continuously expanding your knowledge provides an ever-

increasing tool set you will use to get what you want in life. Constantly look for ways you can grow and improve. How can you be more effective? Are there better time management strategies which would help you? Which of your abilities may be underutilized? Are you on track to reach your goals, or do you need to make adjustments? Learn from the experiences of others. They save you a lot of time and effort by demonstrating what works and what doesn’t. Your progress is accelerated by benefiting from what other people have discovered. Having a standard of excellence boosts your value. Don’t allow good to be good enough. Put in extra effort. Strive to be the best at whatever you do. A small amount of extra effort produces results far in excess of the effort required. Always be honest, trustworthy, and dependable. Keep your word. Treat others with kindness, courtesy and respect. Your attitude and actions influence that which you attract. Being rude or nasty diminishes

Poor policy To the editor: It’s the time for taxes. And the for-profit tax preparation industry, in return for $6.6 million spent for lobbying by Intuit (TurboTax) and H&R Block, stands to benefit from a windfall. Congressional Democrats and Republicans are voting to permanently stop the Internal Revenue System from providing a free electronic tax filing system for America’s taxpayers. The IRS has the information needed to prepare taxes for most of us but if the IRS creates a free filing system, it would threaten the profits of tax preparation corporations. Paying taxes is a public action and for many reasons, ought not be privatized. This is yet another example of the ways unlimited money for lobbying benefits corporations and not people. The non-profit cross-partisan group American Promise is working toward ending this problem. We support a constitutional amendment to get unlimited and hidden money out of elections and policy-making. And we are working at the federal, state, and local level to make this happen. We want government of, by, and for the people - not corporations and special interests.

Clothing Corral serving community members in need By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com “We are a Christian ministry providing clothing to people in need regardless of residence, citizenship, ethnicity, gender or religion. We provide clothing to people in need at no cost, and build lasting relationships with our clients characterized by Christian love, trust and respect.” That is part of the mission statement of the Clothing Corral. The organization, founded by Jeff and Tracy Hartlage, is located at 160 W. Water Street in Oak Harbor and has an abundant supply of clothing to help supply the needs of local families. “I think that because I have been through different circumstances in my life, and my faith helped me. I want to help others. I am hopeful that the store not just serves clothing needs for people, but that they find encouragement from our faith,” she said. “I hope that we build relationships and want people to know our belief that God is our hope.” Thus far, the reception from the community has been overwhelmingly positive. An open house was held last weekend and the store was able to open itself up to the community. “There’s been an amazing reception, people have been so supportive,” Tracy said. “They’re happy to have somewhere to donate clothes, “They love that there is a place where people can come shop. They’re glad to have this place local. “We’re excited and a little overwhelmed because the place is getting such a great reception. I feel a lot of pressure sometimes to do it exactly the way we need to so it’s what people need,” she said. The clothing is available free of charge, but there are some rules that exist to ensure

clothing per family number). • A person may visit the store once every quarter; • A photo I.D. is required for each visit; • Providing false information on the registration form will disqualify a person from further service; • Food and beverages are prohibited inside of the store.

They are not only collegiate bowlers, but prom dates By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com There is a reason why Caleb Salyer and Reegan Denton signed their national letter of intents together to bowl for Lourdes University. Salyer, a Millbury resident who attends Penta Career Center, and Denton, a Delta resident, were prom dates at her school, Notre Dame Academy. They met while bowling, of course, and played on a travel team together last winter for the Penny Jo’s Eastern Lanes team. That’s how bowling is in the Toledo area — it’s a community. Ask Salyer, who has been bowling since he was 3 years old. “I’ve been bowling for 15 years already and I’m only 18, and I know everybody around town and everybody knows me. I get along with pretty much everybody,” Salyer said. “I’ve always wanted to bowl collegiately ever since I heard that collegiate bowling was a thing, and I was really young at that point. Originally, I wanted to go to Robert Morris (University), but opportunities like the one I’ve been presented don’t come around very often so I’m perfectly happy with staying around the bowling community around here instead of going away for college. It’s just everybody knows everybody pretty much. You say a name and it’s familiar to you.” They will both begin bowling for

Reegan Denton and Caleb Salyer Lourdes beginning in the fall. Salyer, who bowled for Clay for four years, has been a first team All-Metro League selection for five seasons and held

Oak Harbor

the state’s high average. The left-handed bowler has four 300 games to his credit and rolled a pair of 800 series, plus he has 38 non sanctioned 300 games over his lifetime. “Caleb is a big key to versatility on the lanes for our men’s program,” Lourdes coach Torrie Bartalone said. “Caleb has had an extremely successful youth career and we see him having an even better career here at Lourdes on and off the lanes.” Denton has been a two-year letter winner at Notre Dame. “Reegan is a young lady that will bring success to our program both on and off the lanes,” Bartalone said. “I believe with her work ethic and heart she will become a key component to our program.” Denton did not begin bowling until her sophomore year at Notre Dame, improving steadily throughout her prep career. She has bowled in the GTUSBCA Adult/ Youth Doubles tournament each of the past two years. A member of the National Art Honors Society, she is a three-time recipient of the Jefferson Service Award. Salyer says, at first, the attention from the Lourdes coaching staff blindsided me, but he was pleasantly surprised. “It was cool. They kind of surprised me when they came into town, and then (Southwyck Lanes owner) Sherry (GratopBrown) went ahead and told them pretty much my whole life story. They decided that they liked what they heard and then they watched me for pretty much this

whole season in the (junior tournaments) and in the Metro League and stuff like that,” Salyer said. Torrie Bartalone, who is assisted by her husband Dan Bartalone, was named the first men’s and women’s bowling coach at Lourdes University in 2018. She is charged with creating the program from scratch. “The coach there is really renowned and she is really good. At bowling, she’s had to overcome a lot of circumstances and she is just a really good role model,” Salyer said. Under coach Ron Koles, Clay was the Metro League runner-up this year. Koles has told The Press that Salyer has a big hook, which is a good thing, giving him “a little more area to play with.” Salyer maintained a 221 average, but says his game as its ups and downs like any sport. “Bowling is a lot more mental than it is physical so you just want to keep your head right and not get down on yourself when things aren’t going your way, and just try to fix it before you get too angry,” Salyer said. For the development of his game, Salyer credits Koles and Keith Nusbaum, the owner of Shot Maker’s Pro Shop at New Glass Bowl Lanes on Telegraph Road in West Toledo. Salyer had a 300 game there on February 16 using a Hammer Purple Urethane ball. Upon arriving at Lourdes, Salyer intends to major in history and Denton nursing.

AAP urges recall of Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play Sleeper The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) calls on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to issue an immediate recall for the Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play Sleeper inclined sleeper, which has been tied to 32 sleep-related infant deaths, according to a new analysis by Consumer Reports. AAP urges parents to stop using the product immediately. Stores should remove the Rock ‘n Play Sleeper from their shelves. A warning issued by the CPSC and FisherPrice on April 5 did not go far enough to ensure safety and protect infants, according to the AAP. “This product is deadly and should be recalled immediately,” said Kyle Yasuda, MD, FAAP, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics. “When parents purchase a product for their baby or child, many assume that if it’s being sold in a store, it must be safe to use. Tragically, that is not the case. There is convincing evidence that the Rock ‘n Play inclined sleeper puts infants’ lives at risk, and CPSC must step up

Toledo Zoo

and take immediate action to remove it from stores and prevent further tragedies.” Last week, the CPSC and manufacturer alerted consumers to stop using the product when the infant reaches 3 months of age or is capable of rolling over, citing 10 infant deaths that occurred in the Rock ‘n Play. The Consumer Reports article, published April 8, tied a total of 32 deaths to the Rock ‘n Play, including the 10 noted in last week’s warning. Consumer Reports concluded that these 32 deaths, between 2011 and 2018, included babies even younger than the 3-month threshold cited in the initial warning, which is alarming. The cause of death listed for some babies was asphyxia, or the inability to breathe caused by the babies’ position. AAP urges parents of children of all ages to immediately stop using the Rock ‘n Play. “We cannot put any more children’s lives at risk by keeping these dangerous products on the shelves,” said Rachel Moon, MD, FAAP, chair of the AAP Task

Unbeaten Lake baseball hands Wilker a milestone By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com The spring of 1985 was an exciting time for Greg Wilker. In the same year, you could have gone to see the Live Aid concerts in London or Philadelphia, bought a movie ticket for $2.75, or watched as Michael Jordan became the NBA Rookie of the Greg Wilker Year. That was the year Wilker took over as the head baseball coach at Lake High School. “I coached the jayvee team in 1983 and ‘84,” Wilker recalled. “Bob Brough was the varsity coach and he had been there for several years. He had a couple of young children and was ready to get out (of coaching) for a while. There was an opening there and I was the next man up. I was fortunate to take over a good program at a young age. Bob had some really good teams previously. He got back into coaching with me five or six years later as my JV coach. He had a great baseball mind.” Thirty-five years after landing the job, Wilker is still the coach at Lake. Last Saturday, his Flyers hammered Wauseon, 20-2, giving Wilker his 600th career victory. The Flyers beat Elmwood, 5-0, on Monday to improve to 7-0 and 1-0 in the Northern Buckeye Conference. Wilker’s record stood at 601-344 and counting, prior to Wednesday’s game against Genoa. He was three wins shy of becoming the 16th winningest baseball coach in Ohio High School Athletic Association history. Wilker, 57, said his players knew he was one win from No. 600, so they went out and scored nine runs — all with two outs — in the first inning against Wauseon to put the game away early. “I don’t pay that much attention to the numbers,” Wilker said. “That’s more

I told my assistant coaches I was glad to get it out of way before league play. A big crowd was there and it was a beautiful day.” Wilker taught business at Lake for 35 years before retiring last year, and he’s coached the offensive and defensive lines for the football team for more than 30 years. He was inducted into the Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2014. Under Wilker, the Flyers have won nine league/conference championships,

21 sectional titles, six district titles and one regional title. His 2001 team lost to Youngstown Ursuline, 6-1, in the Division III state semifinals. “We had an outstanding team,” Wilker said. “We had nine seniors, nine juniors and a sophomore, the most (players) I’ve ever carried on varsity. That group just had a passion for the game and they were very competitive.” Wilker has coached several children of his former players over the years, and he made sure to praise his current assistant coaches for “making this a lot of fun, be-

cause we really enjoy working together.” Wilker’s varsity assistant is former Elmwood player Dory Boggs, who has been with the program since 2004, and former Lake players Mike Kohlhofer and Brandon Maze. Kohlhofer, who played on Lake’s 1985 team, and Maze have been on the staff for three years. “The big thing about kids, as long as you show you care about them, kids are kids,” Wilker said. “They know my entire staff cares about them, not just about wins and losses. They want them to become better young men.” Wilker is high on this year’s team, which features four seniors who will play college ball next year. Catcher Dawson Delventhal will play at the University of Northwest Ohio-Lima, second baseman Harry Jackson is going to Lourdes University, right fielder/ pitcher Luke Walsh is headed to Davenport University in Grand Rapids, Mich., and pitcher/left fielder Jacob Boelkens will play at Bluffton University. “We have quality kids and we’re very fortunate,” Wilker said. “A lot of these kids we have now, I coached their fathers years ago and they know what the program is about. I really like the quality and character of the kids. We’re very athletic and we run very well. We play good defense and they like playing baseball, and it shows.” Lake entered Wednesday’s game with a .396 team batting average, led by Jackson, who was hitting .577 with 15 RBI. Dawson Delventhal was batting .500, followed by junior pitcher/left fielder Bronson Medley (.435, 10 RBI), sophomore center fielder Jaxon Delventhal (.429), junior first baseman/DH Brendan Zink (.412) and senior pitcher/first baseman Austin Fouty (.400). Junior shortstop Scott Mackiewicz, a returning starter, is just coming back from pulled leg muscles. Senior Jacob Boelkens, who also plays left field, is Lake’s top pitcher. Boelkens, who struck out 11 in the win over Elmwood, is 3-0 with a 0.36 ERA, 23 strikeouts and only one walk. “He has outstanding control,” Wilker said. “He has one walk in 19 innings and he throws three pitches for strikes, which makes him very tough in high school.”

Ohio softball coaches honor Clay’s Brenda Radabaugh By Press Staff Writer sports@presspublications.com Clay softball coach Brenda Radabaugh was inducted in the Ohio High School Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association on January 18. In 27 years, Radabaugh’s softball teams have compiled a 524-183 record while earning 14 league titles. Her teams achieved 18 sectional and six district championships. She was awarded league coach of the year honors 10 times, the Northwest District Coach of the Year accolade three times and the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Coach of the Year on three occasions. She received the state’s Sportsmanship, Ethics and Integrity Award in 2016 and the Buckeye Cable Sports Network Coach of the Season in 2017. She coached the district all-star team three times and the Northwest District Underclass All-Star Team twice. “With the 500 wins, it’s been a lot of years, and I’ve been very blessed with a lot of dedicated and talented players who have taken the time to put in the work. You’re not going anywhere without good players. I’ve been lucky to have a lot of assistant coaches who know what they’re doing. There have been some very supportive administrators, too,” Radabaugh told The Press when she reached win No. 500. “I’m just having a blast doing it. My family has always been there for me. My parents have always been there for me. I’m just very lucky that I have a lot of people who have my back.” Radabaugh is not one to rest on her laurels. She’s someone who is quick to credit her players and assistant coaches, but Radabaugh deserves plenty of the credit for reaching 500 wins as a softball coach, a feat achieved after Clay defeated Central Catholic, 9-1 in 2017. The milestone signifies what she’s accomplished in her years coaching at both Clay and Central Catholic. “There were quite a few surprises. When I hit 400 wins, I had no clue. This time, I knew (this was) No. 500, but I didn’t know what was going on (afterwards). The coaches had ordered t-shirts, and it wasn’t just our team that was wearing them, it

Everybody had them hidden until the game was over,” said Radabaugh. “We were in the circle after the game and everybody started taking their jerseys off and I saw them wearing the t-shirts, and my jaw hit the floor. The school presented me with a watch and a huge banner was made up.” Radabaugh served as the Northwest District secretary for 15 years and the president of the district for the past two years. She acted as the Northwest District representative for the OHSFSCA for eight years and also spent six years as the presidentelect, president and past president of the association. She has also been a voter for

the state coaches poll since 2004. Radabaugh got her first taste of coaching at the age of 17 when she and a friend coached her sister’s 12 and under summer softball team. That summer, she realized her passion for coaching. Over the years, Radabaugh coached high school volleyball with one trip to the state final four as the head coach at Central Catholic. She is now a volunteer coach for the eighth grade volleyball team at Erie Mason Middle School (Mich.). Her high school softball coaching career began with five years as the junior varsity coach at Clay followed by nine years at the helm of Central’s varsity team. She then became the second softball coach in the history for Clay High School, where she

will begin her 19th season. Radabaugh graduated from Edon High School where she was a four-sport athlete. She then earned a bachelor’s degree in education from the University of Toledo while earning four varsity letters in softball. Upon graduation, she accepted a teaching position with Oregon City Schools, where she is now in her 33rd year teaching high school mathematics. Former Clay player Haley Dominique credits her success to Radabaugh. Dominique is now an outfielder at Ball State University. “Coach Radabaugh was one of my favorite coaches that I have had the opportunity to play for. She is all in all the time and is completely invested in coaching and that is something special. She was really good at knowing when to be easy going and fun, but also knew when the time was to be serious and really get after it at practice. She is the kind of coach that you want to play well for, and you want to win for her,” said Dominique. Dominique continued, “Coach Radabaugh always believed in me. When I got pulled up (as) a freshman, there was never a doubt in my mind that she believed in me, even though I was a freshman and knowing that your coach has confidence in you makes you play so much better. “In all of the ups and downs we have had (when) I have played for Clay, there was never a moment where Coach Radabaugh was ever too low or too high. When we would face adversity in a game — for example, we played Anthony Wayne during my freshman year in the regional semifinals and they tied the game in the top of the seventh on some defensive miscues, she never got flustered,” Dominique continued. “She always found a way to calm us down and bring us back to earth. There have been many moments that I can remember in my career where the inning was rough and we got in the huddle and there was never any negativity out of her, and it was always motivational to hear what she had to say. My whole career was a wonderful experience, in part because of Coach Radabaugh.” (— includes file quotes from a Press story written by Yaneek Smith)

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

2975 Eastpointe Blvd.

NorthwoodAdventist.org Saturday Worship: 11:00am Thursday Bible Study: 7:00pm

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

Like peanut butter and jelly, Nadine and Capone go together! These two were found together as strays and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of how bonded they actually were until two of our volunteers took them on a DOTT (Dogs on the Town) ďŹ eld trip together and we discovered they were long lost BFFs! Capone is the calm sensitive type and Nadine is super ďŹ&#x201A;irty! We will often ďŹ nd them cuddled together in the same bed licking each other. They walk so well on the leash together, love everyone they meet and love car rides! They must get adopted together and to help do so, their adoption fee is $150 for the two-fur! To meet this dynamic duo and the other 50+ currently up for adoption right now at Lucas County Canine Care & Control, stop in to 410 S Erie St. Open Mon-Fri 11-7 and weekends 115. To view adoptable dogs, stray dogs in the event you are missing your dog, and to make a donation please visit www.lucascountydogs.com #YouwilladoptbetterinToledo
