Oregon praises Chief Ray Walendzak

“

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City officials at last week’s council meeting praised ex-Fire Chief Raymond Walendzak, who passed away on June 7. “Sometimes they ask for a moment of silence,” said Mayor Mike Seferian. “I wouldn’t do that. I don’t think Ray would want a moment of silence. He wasn’t really a quiet guy. I enjoyed the comradery I had with Ray. Different times we’d be ornery towards one another, and at different times we’d laugh until tears came out of our eyes. So I would like to recognize that in a not so silent way and say I truly wish that Ray has found greener pastures.” On behalf of his family, Council President Dennis Walendzak, one of Ray’s sons, thanked Seferian. “It means a lot to us that you recognize my father. The city of Oregon meant a great deal to him and I want to thank the city for all you have given to my dad. The fire department was a great portion of my life and his life. He enjoyed serving the city and the residents,” said Walendzak. “Ray had his way,” added Seferian. “But he had the political savvy to be effective. And I think everyone recognized that.” City Administrator Mike Beazley said Walendzak will be missed.

I don’t think Ray would want a moment of silence. He wasn’t really a quiet guy.

A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the June 8 fire that damaged a historic building on Washington Street in the Village of Genoa. It took investigators less than 24 hours to rule the blaze an arson. Anyone with information is asked to call the state fire marshal’s office at 800589-2728 or the Genoa Police Department at 419-855-7717. The fire occurred around 4:30 p.m. on June 8 and damaged a former trolley station depot that was part of the Interurban Railway System. Mike Swisher, a battalion chief with the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District, said Wednesday his department had received no additional information. Meanwhile, an ad hoc committee of residents that was trying to preserve the building as well as a former school house built in the 1850s was taking a wait and see position, said Lou Hebert, a committee member. “Some of us have discussed possible alternatives,” he said. “If it’s determined the building needs to be demolished, we’ve talked about taking some of its stones that came from the quarry and salvage those and use them to construct some sort of monument or marker. A lot remains to be seen, including whether the village has liability insurance.” During the village’s recent homecoming celebration, committee members draped a canvas mural poster on the building’s north wall, asking the community to “Save the Past.” They also passed out brochures to the homecoming crowd. Hebert said a Facebook page, “Saving our Past”, has also drawn many comments. “We’ve had a good response. A lot of people long before the fire have come forward and said they’d really like to save the building,” he said. “It’s a sad thing. I think this building, if there is any way that we

Ray Walendzak “Like many of you, I had a lot of long, fun and occasionally feisty experiences with Ray, from my time as county administrator until my time here. It’s one of those things to note his passing, and we’ll miss him,” he said. “I did enjoy working with your dad,” added Public Service Director Paul Roman. “He was a great guy.”

“I had a lot of great breakfasts and coffees with Chief Walendzak at various restaurants here in Oregon,” said Councilman James Seaman. “He was always a lot of fun, and he was very proud of his family and his sons.” Walendzak was chief for over 20 years. He also served on the board of the Oregon City Schools District as a member and past president. “I had the opportunity to serve with Ray on the school board,” said Councilman Steve Hornyak. “He was a great man, very proud of his sons, very proud of his family, very proud of his service to the City of Oregon. I’m honored to have had him as a friend and a colleague.” Historical record Dennis said his father often gave credit Continued on page 2

Dorner new foundation director By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Oregon Economic Development Foundation (OEDF) hired a new executive director, it was announced last week. Dave Dorner, of Toledo, was former director of business development at Rocket Ventures. He started at the OEDF on Tuesday, May 29. The Foundation is a public/private partnership between the business community and the City of Oregon. Dorner replaces Lindsay Myers, who was hired as executive director of the Foundation in 2012. Board president Timothy Pedro said he and the board were pleased to have Dorner join the Foundation. “He brings a new perspective to our economic development efforts and will build upon Lindsay Myers’ many successes,” said Pedro. The executive director plans, organizes and directs activities to enhance economic development in the city, said Pedro. “He is responsible for the development, recommendation and implementation of policies, programs and procedures that accomplish the goals and objectives to ensure the economic health and vitality of the area,” Pedro said about Dorner. Background Dorner was the director of business de-

velopment for Rocket Ventures, the technology arm of the Regional Growth Partnership and the Northwest Ohio Entrepreneurial Services Program. Its goal was to significantly increase the technology-based entrepreneurial and commercial outcomes and to focus the effort on strategic technology-based sectors that offer exceptional economic development prospects, according to Pedro. Dorner has a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of Toledo. He is active in several charitable and nonprofit organizations with community improvement missions or scholarship grants. He has served as a volunteer and is on multiple boards of directors. He currently serves on the board of directors of The Chuck Ealey Foundation, which recognizes high school students who exemplify an “undefeated spirit.” “We’re excited to welcome Dave to our team in Oregon,” said Councilman Steve Hornyak, chairman of the Economic Development & Planning Committee. “His background and experience will fit in well with all the exciting things happening here in Oregon on the development front.” “I had the opportunity to meet with him about a week ago,” said Hornyak. “He sat in on one of the meetings talking about the downtown development that we are working on. I think we’re going to be very pleased with what he brings to the table and the skill sets that he has. I think we’re going to be very pleased with him as a member of our team.”

Departure Council members at a recent meeting praised Myers for the job she’s held for the last five years. “Thank you, Lindsay, for all your help and all the work you’ve done for the City of Oregon,” said Council President Dennis Walendzak. “I know there’s a lot of long hours in your position, and we do thank you for your time and efforts.” Councilman Terry Reeves agreed. “You said it all,” he said to Walendzak. “Lindsay, we can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done. Thank you.” “Good luck in your future endeavors,” Councilman James Seaman said to Myers. “I’m sure you’ll be a great asset to wherever you will end up working. Thank you so much.” Myers said she is moving to Georgia to “sow my wild oats.” She said the City of Oregon has a lot going for it. “We have so much momentum here, and there is so much to be proud of. Congratulations on your hard work. And just keep it up. Good luck,” she said.

to others. “He mentioned many times to me that he would never have been able to do what he did without the people that he served with, the people who served under him, the people who came before him,” he said, noting in particular former chiefs Ward Ensign, Gene Groll and assistant fire chief William Flanagan. “He never wanted to take credit without recognizing them. He was not able to do it by himself.” He added that it was important for the city to obtain a written historical record from those who helped build the fire department to what it is today. “My fear is that I’m not only losing my father, but we’re starting to lose that generation of individuals who helped form and helped mold our city to where it is. It is hoped that we do not go without trying to record that history of our city. It can help shape where we’re going. At least let us know where we have been. The people of that generation are a valuable resource for us. Before we lose them, we owe it to ourselves to make sure we get that history from them.” Besides Dennis, Ray is survived by sons Dean and Donald.

Dogs from Qatar coming to Wood Co. Thanks to a partnership between Wood County Humane Society and Gulf Canine Connection, two dogs from Qatar are getting a second chance at life. On June 19, the WCHS will welcome Bea and Toro, after the dogs will have traveled nearly 7,000 miles and endured a 15-hour flight. They are just two of many dogs that experience neglect and abuse in the State of Qatar, a Middle Eastern county located adjacent to Saudi Arabia to the south and the Persian Gulf to the north, east, and west. The dogs were discovered by rescue workers who work to aid the many hundreds of homeless dogs of the region. Workers set up makeshift shelters where dogs are cared for for months while they await news if any group in the U.S. will accept them. Because animal rescue in Qatar largely is decentralized, the fates of dogs like Bea and Toro depend on the ability of organizations like Gulf Canine Connection to identify suitable rescue partners and make arrangements for transfer.

Miracle League athletes celebrate a day of baseball on their field at Brentwood Park, Northwood. (Press file photo by Scott Grau)

Serenity Farm, Miracle League to benefit By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com The 32nd Annual Marathon LPGA Classic Presented by Owens Corning and Owens-Illinois will take place July 17-23 at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania. Northwest Ohio’s children’s charities share in the tournament’s success. Since 1984, the Marathon Classic has contributed more than $9.8 million dollars for 170 Northwest Ohio children’s charities. This year’s tournament will benefit 23 area children’s charities. Including Serenity Farm Equestrian Center in Luckey and the Miracle League of Northwest Ohio, which maintains a baseball field at Brentwood Park, 2100 Tracy Road, Northwood. Serenity Farm began in August of 2001 by founder Debra DeHoff to offer equine therapy to community members in Wood County and surrounding counties that are within a one hour radius. Over the years of community support and involvement, the farm has expanded several times to offer learning programs to children, families and professionals, and increase therapy programs. An average of 50 volunteers give over 5,000 hours per year to ensure the success of the nonprofit charity. Located just north of Luckey, the 19 acre farm is home to eight equines who serve in the seasonal programs. The location is an easy access to clients and families that enjoy the magic of equine assisted learning and therapy. Jeff Barton established The Miracle League as a non-profit organization in 2006. Each game is two innings long and every player bats and scores, with the final batter of the inning hitting a home run to clear the bases. The Miracle League’s mission is to “provide opportunities for children and adults with disabilities to play Miracle League baseball, regardless of their abilities.” That includes “promoting the construction of special facilities that meet the unique needs of Miracle League players, their families and friends.”

(Press file photo by Scott Grau) The games are played on a specially cushioned and rubberized surface that is similar to local high school running tracks. The custom field, which was completed in the spring of 2009, was designed so that athletes in wheelchairs and walkers or any kind of special needs can play without barriers. To support this year’s Classic, patrons can purchase tickets through the charity ticket program online or at Toledo area Kroger stores and designate an area children’s charity to receive 100 percent of the purchase price. Tickets are available at area Kroger stores (two for one on weekly grounds tickets) or online at www.mara-

Oregon moves ahead with water and sewer projects By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

A lot of people long before the fire have come forward and said they’d really like to save the building.

“

can save it, is worth it.” The station building served the Interurban electric trolley that ran from Toledo to the Port Clinton and Lakeside areas. The former school house building is located nearby on Washington Street. Because it later became the headquarters for Genoa veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, Civil War history groups in the area have expressed interest in preserving it, Hebert said.

Sewer rehab Council also approved the $1.5 million bid of United Survey, Inc., of Oakwood Village, Ohio, for its Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation project. Bids for the project were opened on April 21.

The project will be financed with a low interest loan through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency’s Water Pollution Control Loan Fund. The project consists of trenchless rehabilitation of sanitary sewers, sanitary sewer service laterals, and sanitary sewer manholes in the East Hollywood, Ketcham’s Home Gardens, Eastern Plains, and Moundview subdivisions of the city. The work also includes sewer spot repairs within the project area. The sanitary sewers were constructed in the mid 1920s. United Survey, Inc., has been inspecting and rehabilitating sanitary sewers since 1962 and has completed sanitary sewer lining work in Ohio and multiple Midwestern and East Coast states. “United Survey was determined to be the lowest and best bid of the six bids we received,” said Roman. “All the references were checked for United Survey. And their price was low, but United Survey was comfortable with their pricing.” Councilman James Seaman asked if United Survey, Inc., has done previous work in the city. “Not in the city, but they’ve had a lot of years of sewer lining experience. They’re actually one of the first companies that started lining sewers with insitu form,” he said of a cured-in-place pipe technology process that does not require excavation to rehabilitate pipeline. “They’re not as new lining laterals, but they do have their certifications to do the lateral lining.”

Oregon City Council last week approved a series of ordinances regarding infrastructure projects. Council authorized the city administrator to submit an application for a low interest Water Supply Revolving Loan through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to fund the Southwest Water Distribution Improvement Project. The $2.6 million project will increase system pressure on the southwest quadrant of the city. The project consists of installing about two miles of 16-inch waterline between Navarre Avenue and Brown Road, and along Brown Road west to I-280, according to Public Service Director Paul Roman. “We’d like to advertise for bids within the next few weeks,” said Roman. The project serves two purposes, he said. “The primary purpose is to increase the pressure in the southwest quadrant in the city. Currently, there is an eight inch waterline that exists along Brown Road. That would be replaced with the 16-inch waterline,” said Roman. “So it will serve as both a trunk main and end as a local waterline. So it will also serve those residents along Brown Road as well.” “We’ve discussed this for a few years now,” said City Administrator Mike Beazley. “We’re going to continue to have a significant investment in waterline upgrades, and map out areas where we have breaks, or pipes that don’t have enough capacity. So we’ll continue to go down this path. We believe it’s good for the community to keep moving forward with a significant investment in upgrading the infrastructure.”

Together they had nearly 40 years of service on the board of trustees of the Northwestern Water and Sewer District. Last week, the district honored Lyle Schulte and the late Karl Hirzel by dedicating benches located at parks in Lake Township and City of Northwood. Schulte was recognized for serving 17 years on the board with a bench bearing his name at Friendship Park in the township. He served on the board from 1999 to 2016. He was also a township trustee. Hirzel was remembered for serving 12 years – from 1992 to 2004 - with a bench placed at Central Park in Northwood. His brother, William, is a current member of the board. The nine-member board oversees the district, with each board member serving a threeyear term. Three trustees are appointed by the Wood County board of commissioners; three are selected by townships that are members of the district and three are selected by member municipalities.

Will Oak Harbor allow medical marijuana facility? According to a recent poll, the residents of the Village of Oak Harbor support marijuana being processed and cultivated within the village limits. But does the village council feel the same? With a June 30 deadline looming, the council must soon decide whether or not to pass an ordinance that will grant the village the right to allow the manufacture, processing, cultivation and distribution of marijuana for medicinal purposes within village limits. Trillium Holdings has until then to apply for one of the state marijuana licenses that allow for growing the drug. The company currently has a proposal on the table to build a 100,000 square-foot facility at the end of Lake Street that would process and cultivate marijuana and, according to its representative, Joseph Wright, could employ roughly 25 people. A number of local municipalities, Huron Township, Norwalk, Vermilion, Port Clinton, Lake Township and Perkins Township, have placed a ban on cultivating marijuana. The Oak Harbor poll, which posed seven questions via Facebook, saw 124 residents respond. Of the respondents, 83.1 percent said they want to see the cultivation, manufacture, processing and distribution of physician-recommended medical marijuana legalized within the village

limits while nearly as many 80.6 percent said they would view the legalization as a benefit. Overall, 78.2 percent of the respondents were residents of Oak Harbor. Recent discussion at village council meetings has centered around this topic and a special meeting held last Monday to further discuss the topic lasted one hour and 45 minutes. A local high-school student, Jackie Witt, spoke before council about a medical marijuana facility in Albion, a town of 2,000 people in southern Illinois. She did the research with her father, Jim, and talked about how the Ataraxia facility has become an asset for the local community. “The legality is not in play because the state has decided to legalize medical marijuana,” said Jackie. “Now is not the time to hold up legislation that needs to be implemented. I spoke with the treasurer (in Edwards County, where Ataraxia is located) and she responded with nothing but

positive comments.” However, Pastor Rick Bickelhaupt, the founder of Grace Baptist Church in Oak Harbor, questioned whether or not a facility should be allowed in the town based on moral grounds. “Marijuana is a gateway drug. I’ve talked to people in prison who have used (illicit) drugs and they talk about how they started smoking marijuana. I’d hate to see Oak Harbor open Pandora’s box with this,” he said. “I believe the outcome would be detrimental and it would far outweigh the ability to earn money for our city. Marijuana is a detriment to our society. I believe council should take the lead. I don’t believe this is something God would want us to be involved in.” Two members of council, Sue Rahm and Donna Wendt-Elliott, agreed with Bickelhaupt that allowing a facility is a moral issue. However, Jackie Macko and Michelle Ish disagreed. Macko related how Materion (formerly Brush Wellman) had problems with employees contracting chronic beryllium disease, and questioned if that was a moral issue. Mayor Joe Helle talked about how prescription drugs like opiates have created serious problems. He also spoke to the economic impact of having a facility with good jobs in Oak Harbor. “The more people in the community that have more money,” Helle said, “The more they’ll hopefully be spending in the

community.” Wright, who has experience working for the Illinois government on the medical marijuana issue, spoke to the council about what a facility could do for the village. “We are looking for smart, loyal, hardworking people. I have no doubt that the people of Oak Harbor can fit this to a T. We want to be partners,” Wright said. “We understand the sensitivity (of this issue) and I can tell you that everything you’re thinking about are things that I thought about. I’ve worked at every level of the government along the way -- state, local federal -- over the last 10 years and at every step of the way, I was reassured (about medical marijuana). The states have extremely strict and highly-regulated programs. The only people who receive permits are good people. This is something we want to do. We want to be partners with the community.” It was just over a year ago when Gov. John Kasich signed House Bill 523 into law, making Ohio the 26th state to allow medical marijuana. The law allows for people who suffer from one of 20 specific health conditions – such as Parkinson’s, ALS, cancer and Alzheimer’s, for example -- to receive a prescription for medical marijuana. The state, which is currently working to develop an infrastructure that is capable of dealing with the sale and distribution of the drug, only allows marijuana to be consumed in edible, vapor, oil, tincture, patch and plant-matter form. Smoking and growing pot is still illegal.

Cliffs’ iron production plant coming to East Toledo The Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority announced that Cliffs Natural Resources Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange, will locate its first hot briquetted iron (HBI) production plant at the Ironville Terminal in East Toledo. This project has the potential to create up to 130 permanent jobs, more than 1,200 construction jobs and represents a $700 million investment in the Toledo Region. This project was made possible due to partnerships between the Port Authority, JobsOhio, Midwest Terminals of Toledo, City of Toledo, Lucas County, Regional Growth Partnership, and the Ohio Rail Development Commission. “We are excited to add to the already substantial economic impact the Port of Toledo has on this region,” said Paul Toth, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority. “We acquired Ironville with the intention of locating a large-scale industrial user on

the site who required marine and rail capabilities, and we truly feel this project is the perfect match for the remaining portion of the site.” Lourenco Goncalves, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cliffs Natural Resources Inc., said, “Today’s announcement marks a very important strategic milestone for Cliffs as we begin to implement our plans to be the sole producer of high-quality HBI for the EAF steel

market in the Great Lakes region. We look forward to the strong margin and earnings potential this new product will generate for Cliffs shareholders.” Goncalves added: “We thank Governor John Kasich, JobsOhio and a number of local partners in the Toledo community for their efforts to help advance this project, including an offer of approximately $30 million in grants and other financial incentives. We will continue to work closely with the State of Ohio through the environmental permitting process, and are excited to bring a significant number of high-paying jobs to Ohio.” Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. will lease approximately 100 acres on the east side of the site from the terminal operator, Midwest Terminals of Toledo. Existing infrastructure and material handling capabilities on the site met the company’s requirements for its site selection process. Construction on this project is expected to begin in early 2018, with the production of commercial tonnage of HBI beginning in mid-2020. Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. will

receive more than two million tons of product, delivered by vessel, for the production of HBI, and has the potential to add 100 new vessel calls per year at the Port of Toledo. The finished product will ship from the facility via truck and rail. “As with any company interested in locating or expanding here, our people came to the table nimble and ready to work with Cliffs. We are committed to continuing to work with this company to move the project forward,” said Mayor Hicks-Hudson. “The Lucas County Commissioners are excited to be a part of this opportunity for redevelopment of the Ironville site. This investment is a game changing opportunity for Lucas County and our workforce. Transportation is our most competitive advantage and this project proves it. The partnerships we have fostered over many years with the Port Authority and other public and private entities is the gold standard in Ohio and we look forward to working with Cliffs to ensure our workforce is ready for these exciting new jobs,” said the Lucas County Commissioners.

Douthit built a company (DCI) that employed 300 and published newspapers and real estate magazines in Cleveland, Columbus, Indianapolis, Denver and Salt Lake City. DCI also developed proprietary ad-writing software for the real estate and publishing industry. *** “Maumee Bay has experienced a very high growth rate of algae in the last couple of years, and this spring is the worst we’ve had,” Oregon councilman Sandy Bihn said.

Being motivated brightens every step you take Do you lack enthusiasm? Are you dragging yourself around while drifting through life? How different did you feel when you were really excited about something? Perhaps it was a vacation, a special weekend, getting together with people you cared about, or finally buying something you had wanted for a long time that motivated you. Connecting with that which motivates you is a transformative experience. Looking forward to whatever you find exciting infuses you with a wonderful energy which brightens your perspective. Knowing exactly what motivates you provides a powerful edge. It enables you to structure your life to harness the amazing force of motivation. Motivated people are unstoppable. There is virtually no obstacle which they cannot overcome. Knowing yourself is the starting point. Can you identify in detail exactly what motivates you? What is it that drives you more than anything else? Motivation is a powerful influence which provides exceptional energy, determination, and drive. Understanding your motivation enables you to formulate a strategy which will reenergize your life. Actively pursuing motivating goals brightens every step you take. You look forward to each new day as you travel down your newly discovered path. There are several reasons more people don’t pursue a path which motivates them. They may feel their goals are unrealistic. Perhaps they don’t feel deserving of the life they seek. It’s possible they don’t believe

Dare to Live by Bryan Golden they are capable of reaching their goals. Pursuing what motivates you requires a can-do, will-do attitude. Don’t talk yourself out of your pursuit by making excuses. Don’t allow others to dissuade you with criticisms, ridicule, or any other negativity. Each person has their own unique motivators. You don’t need anyone else’s approval. Identify whatever gets you going and then get going. Let’s look at some examples of motivators to get your mind primed to find what works for you. Striving for accomplishment is a great motivator. Identify something you would like to accomplish in one or more areas of your life. Formulate a step by step plan which will take you there. All accomplishments are realized one step at a time. Perhaps becoming the best at what you do is your driving force. Developing a standard of excellence certainly has many rewards. As you progress, continually visualizing how you will feel once you have reached this pinnacle, will fuel your drive. Money can be a motivator. This is most effective when you view money as a means to reach some other specific goal. If

money is your motivator, determine exactly how much you need. Create a financial plan which will take you to your objective. Keep track of your progress. Helping others is another significant motivator. This path can be pursued through your profession, by volunteering, or through financial generosity. Helping others does not require sacrificing your own well-being. You can do the most good for others when you are OK yourself. Additional common motivators are time, family, relationships, travel, hobbies, and career. The motivators mentioned here are just some ideas to get you thinking. Motivation is very individual. Find what works for you. You may have several motivators which are important. Find what’s right for you at this point. If you are not doing so already, start pursuing those things which motivate you. Your entire outlook will change as your level of excitement and satisfaction grows. Doing what you love to do is so rewarding. Today is the time to get motivated. Motivation drives success.

Praise for Ohio EPA To the editor: The Ohio Wetlands Association (OWA), a state-wide, all-volunteer, nonprofit dedicated to promoting and protecting Ohio’s wetlands, has been watching with great concern the actions of Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) as it rushes to complete the Rover Pipeline project, causing damage to wetlands and waters of the state by inadvertent return of bentonite drilling lubricant (to which we recently learned diesel fuel was added). We have also been following the Ohio EPA’s response to ETP regarding this mishap. Acknowledging that accidents happen and release was not a deliberate or malicious act, we are concerned that the recent ETP spills and damage to Category 3 wetlands may reflect a corporate culture of tolerance for lax operating procedures and perhaps even a cavalier neglect for natural areas protection. Ohio deserves only the best, most responsible (and responsive) companies, and OWA expects the Ohio EPA to hold businesses accountable for their actions and their accidents. Listening to Ohio EPA director Craig Butler’s explanations and reactions to these recent bentonite spills on the WOSU radio program, All Sides with Ann Fisher, my fellow directors and I were pleased to learn of the agency’s timely review and investigation of this incident. OWA applauds the quick response to assure compliance by engaging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. This agency’s subsequent demand that ETP halt any new horizontal directional drilling on the project was an appropriate and warranted action for the protection of wetland resources, given the company’s poor track record for spills. Our continuing concern regards the cleanup and restoration effort of the 6.5-acre Category 3 wetland that was damaged by ETP. It could take years to restore the habitat attributes that ranked it among Ohio’s highest quality wetlands. While fines and cleanup are appropriate, it is OWA’s position that a mitigation requirement for the temporal loss of wetland function should also be considered. The Tuscarawas River water quality benefits from riparian wetlands like the one damaged by ETP’s latest mishap.

Letters should be about 350 words. Deadline Wed. Noon. Send to news@presspublications.com

During the prolonged restoration and recovery efforts, those wetland services will likely be reduced. Mitigation within the watershed would help ensure that the quality of waters in question will not suffer as the recovery process unfolds. Many of my organization’s directors and members think that additional punitive and compensatory actions are warranted. You will have our full support should you choose to seek this additional restitution on behalf of the citizens of the State of Ohio, particularly those living in the affected watershed. Thank you for your comprehensive and decisive response to these Rover Pipeline incidents. We sincerely appreciate your work in support of wetland protection and commend you for your firm stance with this and any other pipeline companies that repeatedly fail to protect the environment as they profit from the extraction of resources in our state.

Racism at homecoming? To the editor: To the man who made my 11-year-old granddaughter cry during the Genoa Homecoming parade June 2. You know who you are. I hope you are proud of yourself! If you are, then that is just sad. But I wanted the people in our area to be aware of you and your actions towards an innocent child. When you saw she was of mixed race, you withheld candy from her and told the man standing next to her the candy was for “whites only” and gave the candy to the next child. Are you aware of people like this living within or near your community and being outwardly racist? Is this OK with you? If you had heard him say this to my granddaughter, would you have told him that is not acceptable? Or not? I have heard rumors of racism in the area but having never personally experienced it, had trouble believing it. She is an exceptionally wonderful

child who, her teachers are always saying, champions the “underdogs” and stands up for them to bullies fearlessly. I know there are racists everywhere but I hope there are also people who will not let that kind of evil stand without letting them know it is not acceptable. Personally, I find people like you to be not only ignorant but arrogant to think that you are better because of your skin color and that God loves you more. On the contrary, I hope and believe you will be held accountable for your evil behavior and cowardice in attacking an innocent child. I spoke with Mayor Ken Harsanje about this situation and he was upset that this happened in our town and will do everything he can to make sure this is not repeated. I appreciate his support very much. Alyce Bondy Fielding Clay Twp. Editor’s note: Alyce Fielding is an employee of The Press. She wasn’t at the homecoming parade. Her daughter told her of the incident.

years because that’s what local companies do. Local companies donate money and merchandise to schools, churches and nonprofit organizations. Local companies invest in the local economy. Local companies employ local people – our friends, neighbors, and family members. This is why it feels personal to us when a local company decides to close its doors. But we are all responsible for those doors closing. We go to the big box stores for tools and plants and light bulbs when we could go to the local hardware store, nursery or lighting store. We eat at national chain restaurants when we could dine at a locally owned establishment. We buy our produce, bread, and meats at the supermarket, instead of the local farmers market, bakery or meat market. Most of us don’t think about it, but our everyday decisions affect the local economy. If we want our community to grow and thrive, then we need to make a more conscious effort to support our local businesses. In summary, if we’re wondering why we should support local businesses, the answer is pretty simple…because local businesses support us. Sue Sweeney Director of Marketing, Gross Electric

Shop, buy local To the editor: There has been a lot of media coverage and community reaction to the closing of The Andersons retail stores.

While many of us were saddened and disappointed by this decision, we need to remember that this was a business decision, not a personal decision. The Andersons has been part of the Northwest Ohio business community since the 1940s.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Puttering & Other Ways to Savor Life During my childhood, my father would often preface his trips to the garage with the announcement that he was going downstairs to “putter,” often saying that he was “just going to putter around” in the garage. What he usually ended up doing for the next few hours was fixing broken toys, lamps or other appliances, or working on the cars. But seeing him fix broken stuff around the house was an important lesson on the value of resourcefulness, frugality, and helping others. Some of my most productive days now are those lazy

Genoa

Saturdays when I putter around the house, doing some housework perhaps between writing these short pieces, and then maybe going for a walk. We never know what we might find or how we might get inspired when we putter. You don't always need a prioritized list in order to get stuff done or to savor life in all its glory. Sometimes you just need to take the time to putter. “Praise the Lord , my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.” Psalm103:1

Al Thompson — he starts back on the trail again Al Thompson left Northwest Ohio on June 4 to resume his bicycle ride around the perimeter of the United States in an effort to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity and Save the Children. Here is an excerpt from his blog, which you can follow by going to presspublications.com and clicking on the icon on the upper right corner.

Al Thompson in front of one of the many waterfalls along the gorge near Portland, Oregon. (Submitted photo) It is hard to find more spectacular vistas. Wending my way along the Columbia’s dramatic shores, I imagine that I see five large dugout canoes with the seasoned members of the Corps of Discovery digging their paddles into the churning waters of the powerful Columbia currents, fighting their way upriver. They are on their homeward bound journey after a year and a half of exploring the Louisiana Territory all the way to that Great Western Sea. In one of the canoes is a man who exudes confidence and authority; it is William Clark. He jokes with the men, encouraging them, taking notes of his observations, working on his maps. William calls out to one-eyed French voyageur Pierre Cruzatte, “Ho there St. Peter (his nickname), how do you know where you are going with that one eye?” Cruzatte replies with a glint in his one good orb, “I know where I’m going Monsieur Captain - I’m going home.” In another canoe is Meriwether, more intense, less garrulous, but focused and observant of all

The Dalles, Oregon — just couldn’t move, thinking of the 9,000 miles and the hardships endured.

“

Greetings All I’ve been back on the trail again — the Lewis and Clark Trail, actually. Back in 2005 I pedaled down the Columbia River Gorge at the end of a 3800-mile journey following the route of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and their Corps of Discovery. And this past week, I have been pedaling up the gorge, retracing the beginning of their homeward bound journey. This has been a week of demons for me, questioning at every step my wisdom in deciding to head back out again, and even as I write this, the demons are having their way. I arrived in Portland on Sunday, June 4, and that in itself is a challenge — just getting bike and trailer and all my “stuff” back out here to where I left off over a year ago. Pedaling the Columbia River Gorge has been a roller coaster of a ride, both literally and figuratively. The Gorge is truly one of the most awe-inspiring pieces of real estate in the country - akin to the Pacific Coast Highway in its beauty and majesty. Within 30 miles of Portland as you travel up the gorge are a multitude of waterfalls that take your breath away. Cascades that are fed by the melting snows high atop Mt. Hood, they plummet downward in dramatic fashion to meet the Columbia River. Many are within sight of the Historic Columbia River Highway — a roadway constructed between 1912 and 1915 to allow a nascent motoring public to experience the breathtaking natural beauty of the Columbia Gorge. Many of the original bridges, tunnels, and guard rails are still there, their stone work speaking of decades of weathering. There is a part of the old highway that is closed off to motor traffic which makes it ideal for cycling - that is - if you like climbing, of which there is quite a bit. My second day out was about 53 miles, but the temperature soared into the lower 90’s and I climbed over a 1000 feet which just sapped my energy. I had to stop numerous times to avoid overheating — I felt much as I did that one day in the Mohave Desert last year when I wasn’t sure I was going to make it. Had a bit of a melt down in the middle of the week, staying at a Motel 6 in The Dalles, Oregon — just couldn’t move, thinking of that 9,000 miles and the hardships endured...and the vast distances of these western states; and the early morning pouring rain and 50 degree temps did not help my mood much either. Floyd also was not on his best behavior, and had to be looked at — a new gear cluster on the rear wheel was called for, and since...Floyd is now back on track.

around him, constantly making sketches in his field note book, giving directions to the men, all the while setting an example with his determination, fortitude, and honesty. They are surrounded by the other 31 souls of the permanent party of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, including a young Indian

girl and her infant child. Their 8,000 mile Voyage of Discovery to the Pacific Ocean and back is considered the greatest exploratory mission in American History. The above was written from the picnic table at last Saturday night’s campsite near Pasco, WA, and this is coming from a nice little motel in Connell, Washington. I’m on the way up to Spokane where I am scheduled to work with Habitat for Humanity on a “blitz build’” which concludes this coming week. During those couple of days when I was quite stressed out, I had a heart to heart talk with my sister about the journey and its future. The outcome was that I would continue on up to Spokane and reevaluate at the time. My arrival in Spokane will bring me to about 9,400 miles. Looking forward to working with another HFH affiliate, which will be my 16th for the journey.

Best regards all...proceeding on Al Thompson

Artist shares love of ships and sea in museum exhibit By Katie Siebenaller Press Staff Writer

“

It is probably one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done...It feels like my life has come full circle—I’m finally on a ship.

“

Oregon native and artist David Hart has always had a place in his heart for the ships that sail the Great Lakes. Living by the water as a boy, he heard ships daily. Many of these ships still inspire him today, evident in his paintings, 66 of which are on display at the National Museum of the Great Lakes. The exhibition, “David O. Hart, Great Lakes Artist,” opened to the public on May 13, and will run through June 25. All the paintings are for sale, and Hart says all the proceeds will benefit the museum and the upkeep of the S.S. Col. James M. Schoonmaker, a restored freighter and part of the museum itself. Whichever paintings do not sell during the exhibition will be available for purchase in the museum’s gift shop. “It is probably one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done,” Hart states. “It feels like my life has come full circle — I’m finally on a ship.” In August of 1958, as a boy of 15, Hart was set on obtaining a job aboard the steamer ship John P. Reiss. Its captain, H. L. Radcliffe, told him he was not old enough, being under 18 years old, but invited the young Hart to come back and visit. He did, returning to the steamer every 10 days. Hart even ate lunch with the captain and the crew: meals and experiences he would never forget. Life would take Hart in a different direction for some time. He served in the U.S. Navy, and after, he settled down to start a family. But his love of ships was always there. It began with paint-by-number kits. As a retiree, Hart began to explore oil painting, teaching himself to create seascapes, and later, the ships of his childhood. He’s volunteered at the National Museum of the Great Lakes and aboard the S.S. Col. James M. Schoonmaker for five years. After recently showing his fellow volunteers a few of his paintings, they

brought his talent to the attention of Paul LaMarre, III, a board member of the museum. LaMarre’s father, Paul LaMarre, Jr., was a great marine artist himself, using watercolors to create his paintings. “Toledo has such a rich maritime history,” Hart adds. It is his wish that younger generations are informed about this history, and he hopes that his paintings can contribute to educating the public. Hart creates his paintings by looking at photographs for visualization, since most of the ships he paints have been scrapped. He usually works on two at a time, spending between 30 and 40 hours on each. “It’s a tribute to these ships and the men who worked on them,” Hart says of his paintings. The exhibition at the National Museum of the Great Lakes is Hart’s first public display of his paintings. “When I see my name, David O. Hart, I can’t believe that,” Hart comments, still in awe.

Infant sun protection: how parents can keep their baby safe have them ready when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on-the-go.â&#x20AC;? For additional ways to keep your child safe, Dr. Friedlander recommends the following tips: â&#x20AC;˘ Keep your baby in the shade. Shade is the best way to shield your baby from the sun, especially if he or she is younger than 6 months old. Keep your baby in the shade as much as possible, and if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ nd shade, create your own using an umbrella, canopy or the hood of a stroller. â&#x20AC;˘ Dress your baby in sun-protective clothing, such as a lightweight, long-sleeved shirt and pants. In addition, make sure your baby always wears a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses with UV protection. â&#x20AC;˘ Minimize sunscreen use on children younger than 6 months old, but use it when needed. If shade and adequate clothing are not available, parents and caretakers may apply a minimal amount of broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of at

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Sun protection is important at every stage of life, including infancy

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, and it only takes one blistering sunburn during childhood or adolescence to nearly double a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chance of developing melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, later in life. This is why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imperative, say dermatologists from the American Academy of Dermatology, that parents do everything they can to protect their infants from the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harmful ultraviolet rays and teach their children healthy sun care habits â&#x20AC;&#x201C; starting at an early age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sun exposure is the most preventable risk factor for skin cancer, including melanoma,â&#x20AC;? said board-certiďŹ ed pediatric dermatologist Sheila Fallon Friedlander, a professor of pediatrics and dermatology at the University of California San Diego. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To help ensure your babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety, keep sunsafety items near the front door, in your car and in your diaper bag so that you always

least 30 to their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skin. Sunscreens containing titanium dioxide or zinc oxide are less likely to irritate a babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sensitive skin. Remember to reapply your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sunscreen every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating, as there is no such thing as â&#x20AC;&#x153;waterproofâ&#x20AC;? sunscreen. â&#x20AC;˘ Stay safe on hot days. In addition

to sun protection, stay safe on hot days by making sure your baby does not get overheated and drinks plenty of ďŹ&#x201A;uids. If your baby is fussy, crying excessively or has redness on any exposed skin, take him or her indoors immediately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sun protection is important at every stage of life, including infancy,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Friedlander. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Always protect yourself and your family from the sun, and see a boardcertiďŹ ed dermatologist if you have any questions about how to care for your babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skin.â&#x20AC;? These tips are demonstrated in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Infant Sun Protection: How to Keep Your Baby Safe,â&#x20AC;? a video posted to the AAD website and YouTube channel.

Pemberville plans to host garden tour Friends of the Pemberville Library will host a Garden Tour of six Pemberville homes Saturday, June 24 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased at the Pemberville Library, 375 E. Front St., or at each of homes on the day of the tour. Two homes are neighbors to each other on Bierly Avenue. The first is the Long homestead at 415 Bierly, where Kim Long, his wife Teri Long and their son Chris tend their garden, which includes vegetables, apple and cherry trees, flowers and herbs. The family utilizes the farmstead as Kim’s parents and grandparents did, stocking their shelves with produce, canning 900 jars of vegetables last year. Throughout the summer, they enjoy “garden to table” lunches and evening meals. Teri is also a farmer’s daughter, and is proud that many of her flowers are starts from the grandma’s garden beds. In fact, most of the spring bulbs came from Kim’s mom’s gardens. She loves to include natural things such as shells, porcelain pots and pots that she paints. Every year, she creates a theme of color with year annuals – this year’s color is pink. Also, a feature on this tour will be a pond dug and designed by Kim and son. The second home is the home of Doug and Linda Avery at 576 Bierly. Working together, the couple has worked to find the right plant for the various soil areas. They love their viburnums for the sweet aroma they offer in springtime. Linda’s favorite flower is honeysuckle, which attracts bees and butterflies. She decided to do a rock base for all her plants, calling on the expertise of Jessica Howard, of Curtice, who owns Howard’s landscaping. An Amish shed highlights the spacious yard and plantings. Additional homes on the tour include the homes of Bob and Joanne Bruning at 436 Water St.; Carl and Cindy Lohrbach at 109 Martin Ave.; Wes and Jean Long at 16551 N. River Rd. and Randy and Melissa Sapp, 445 Oak St. For more info, call the library at 419287-4012.

Bell ringers needed The Salvation Army is seeking volunteers to ring the bell for the “Christmas in July” Red Kettle Campaign, which will be held July 21 and 22 from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Bell ringers are needed at several kettle sites. All proceeds will help support the Port Clinton Salvation Army Service Unit. To sign up to be a bell ringer or to make a donation, contact Director Maureen Saponari at 419-732-2769 or Maureen.saponari@use.salvationarmy.org.

Bekah Yenrick rewrites Clay softball’s record book By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com

2017 Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Softball

If anyone asks you where the dominant prep softball teams are, you can tell them just east of the Maumee River. Out of 10 teams, there are four league champions (out of five leagues) and three regional finalists. The only thing missing is that all three regional finalists fell one game short of reaching the state final four. So, when you ask those 10 coaches to vote for the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Softball Team, you know the stakes are so high that quality players are going to be delegated to honorable mention. Needless to say, 17 of 20 first team selections are from a league championship team — Clay (Three Rivers Athletic Conference), Eastwood (Northern Buckeye Conference), Oak Harbor (Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division) or Gibsonburg (Toledo Area Athletic Conference). However, this year’s Offensive Player of the Year has numbers rarely seen. University of Toledo-bound Clay senior Bekah Yenrick powered her way to 15 home runs, 56 RBIs, and a .596 batting average (53 for 89) — all school records. Clay coach Brenda Radabaugh says she “is a true power hitter” with 31 extra base hits this season and 22 singles. She also led the team in runs (48), hits (53), doubles (15), walks (22), many of which were intentional, on base percentage (.681) and slugging percentage (1.292). And, Yenrick is not just about power. She is about getting the job done when it needs to be done. “She can best be described as clutch,” Radabaugh said. Yenrick was 26 for 35 with runners on second or third base, which is a .743 average with runners in scoring position. Yenrick only had four strikeouts in 113 plate appearances, and Radabaugh says she never struck out looking. Yenrick homered in her last six consecutive games, plus she had two home runs in the same game three times, and each time after that she was walked. Her last at bat in a Clay uniform was a grand slam on Clay’s home field that cleared the John Ousky backstop (baseball field). If you’ve been to Oregon’s William P. Coontz Recreation Complex, you know how far that is. Yenrick broke eight school records during her senior season — most doubles in a career (54), home runs in a game (2), home runs in a career (24), home runs in a season (15), consecutive games with a home run (6), RBIs in a career (169), RBIs in a season (56) and batting average in a career (.548). She already held the school records for doubles in a season (17) and fielding percentage in a season (1.000) heading into her senior year. She qualifies for six state records, including season home runs, career home runs, consecutive games with a home run, season RBIs, career RBIs, and career batting average. In 2016, she earned Clay’s Golden Glove award and in 2017 received the hitting leader award, of course. In addition, Yenrick was chosen by her peers to be a team captain in 2016 and 2017. As a result, Yenrick earned second team All-Ohio Division I honors this season and she earned honorable mention AllOhio during her junior season. A four-year varsity starter and letter winner, Yenrick earned first team All-

HONORABLE MENTION

Oak Harbor junior pitcher Ashley Riley. (Press file photo by Doug Hise) TRAC honors all four seasons and was named the 2017 TRAC Player of the Year. She received TRAC All Academic honors in 2015, 2016, and 2017. She earned first team All-Northwest District honors in 2015, 2016, and 2017 and second team AllNW District honors in 2014. For All-Press Offensive POY, Yenrick overwhelmingly topped four others in voting, but for Pitcher of the Year, Oak Harbor junior Ashley Riley won by five votes over Eastwood sophomore Ashley Hitchcock. Riley, a first team All-Ohio D-II selection, was also named the SBC Player of the Year and was voted first team All-SBC and first team all-district. In 183.1 innings, she had 312 strikeouts and gave up just 20 earned runs in accumulating a 29-1 record and 0.76 ERA. In addition, Coach Chris Rawski gets her in the

circle one more year. “Ashley worked very hard with her pitching coaches, Andy Szypka and Shana Scharer, both mentally and physically throughout the season,” Rawski said. “That hard work paid off and she was able to lead her team to new heights. We are very proud of her and what she has done. Chris Rawski We look for great things from Ashley as a senior leader next season.” In Coach of the Year voting, Rawski

had five more votes than Eastwood coach Joe Wyant, and Radabaugh and Gibsonburg coach Martin Brown also received votes. For Wyant, the future seems especially bright because five of his six first and second team selections are sophomores. Rawski has six underclassmen on the first and second team, but says this year’s record-setting season set a new standard. “This season was certainly one to remember,” Rawski said. “Sometimes you hear the cliché about teams being like a family, but in this case it was true. They did great things together and enjoyed every second of it as a team. The memories of an SBC title, district championship, and regional final appearance are something we will always cherish. And of course, we will miss our senior leaders Maddy Rathbun and Emma Bergman.”

Schlumbohm, Conkle finish track careers at Kent State Former Eastwood athletes Kyle Schlumbohm and Isaiah Conkle graduated from Kent State University this spring, where they contributed to the track and field team. Schlumbohm was an All-Mid American Conference indoor track selection every year during his career at Kent State, and Conkle contributed to the Golden Flashes’ sprint squad. This year, Schlumbohm finished eighth at the Campbell-Wright Open in Akron, pole vaulting 15 feet, 1¾ inches. At the Drake Relays he was 11th with a leap of 16-¾, at the Jesse Owens Classic he was tied for fourth with a leap of 15-5¼, and at the Crimson Tide Invitational he took fifth at 4.55 meters (just over 14-11). During the 2016 indoor season, he took fifth at the MAC championships in the pole vault with a season-best mark of 15-7 and was fourth at the Golden Flashes Gala with a mark of 15-1. Last spring, in the outdoor season, he was fifth in MAC championships (15-6¼), and eighth at the CampbellWright Open (15-9). He placed in 13 other meets during previous seasons, including finishing in the top three in five of nine competitions with three first place finishes in the 2014 indoor season. In addition, Schlumbohm was one of eight members of the Golden Flashes’ men’s program to make the 2017 Men’s Outdoor Track & Field Academic All-MAC Team. With a 3.568 grade point average, the Kent State senior took home the award for the third time in his career. He majored in exercise science at Kent State. At Eastwood, Schlumbohm placed second at the Division II state meet in the pole vault and was a three-time league champion. He was also a member of the Eagle’s 4x400 meter relay team that placed eighth at state and was a two-time all-league honoree in football. Conkle, a 2016 all-academic selection, placed eighth with a time of 11.31 in the 100 meter dash at the Miami Duals, opening the outdoor season. During the indoor season, he ran a personal-best 6.96 in the 60 meter dash at the Kent State Tune-Up and finished fifth in the

Over half-century represented at Clay alumni game By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Clay has been playing varsity baseball since 1928, and is fifth in the state in all-time wins (1,249-634-1), trailing only Cincinnati Elder (1,452-558-4), Steubenville (1,317531-5), Coldwater (1,292-332) and St. Henry (1,264). Steubenville has been playing since 1912, Elder since 1924, St. Henry since 1939 and Coldwater since 1950, so two of those schools benefit from having a longer history. Clay is also tied with Defiance for third place statewide in having the most players drafted by a professional team (10). Cincinnati Moeller has 41 and Hamilton has 11, according to Ohio High School Athletic Association records. So, when former Clay player Gerry Wasserman (1974 graduate) organizes the annual Clay alumni game, he draws from a pool that includes former professional and NCAA Division I players. Over a half century of players were represented at this year’s game, with the oldest being 1960 graduate Jim West, who made one plate appearance. There was also one current varsity player and two 2016 graduates participating at John Ousky Field. As youth, most Oregon ballplayers are aware of this history, but don’t always realize the extent of it. “I didn’t know that Clay was fifth all-time in wins in the state,” said Brett Tscherne (2004). “I knew that there was a winning tradition while I was there and we contributed to that total, but had no idea where the program stood amongst the elite schools in the state.” Jordan Grosjean (2013), who just finished his senior year at NCAA Division I Central Michigan, added, “I knew there was a lot of history here at Clay, and some of the guys who came before me were pretty good. You’ve got A.J. Achter in Triple A right now in Toledo, so you have big names to live up to, and it’s been fun.” This was considered the Seventh Annual Alumni Game, but in reality the history goes back much further. Wasserman says the alumni game was started by former Clay coach Dick Kandick

ball, or at least trying.”

You have to remember, too, dating back even further, many varsity teams played the alumni in an officially scheduled contest taken very seriously, and that goes for Clay, too. Now, it’s taken on a different significance. “The intention of the alumni game would be as they do with the basketball program, where the alumni play against the current school players,” Wasserman said. “All efforts by the coaches or parents in encouraging the students to participate will be greatly appreciated. I organize it because I enjoy getting together with the alumni, seeing the varying skill levels of players. And I still get a kick out of hitting a base-

West Team goes on hitting spree In this year’s game, the West Team defeated the Heintschel Team, captained by former University of Michigan pitcher Eric Heintschel (1989), 10-3 in the seven-inning game. The West Team outhit the Heintschel Team 18-7, and took advantage of two unearned runs, but all-in-all the game was played well with a host of spectacular plays in the field, even though some hadn’t played organized ball in years. Grosjean was the winning pitcher, striking out three, walking none, allowing three hits in facing eight batters over two innings. Of course, even he insists he wasn’t necessarily trying to strike anyone out, especially some of the older players. “I just came out here and wanted to play with the guys,” Grosjean said. “Pretty much, Clay baseball has always been kind of family oriented and all the guys continue to come out. Everyone I’ve played with, and everyone who has played the years before — we all come out and have fun. Everyone just gets along and we come out for the love of the game, really.” For Jim West’s team, Nick Sheehan (2011) struck out one, walked one, allowed one hit and two earned runs in facing seven batters over two innings, and closer Kyle Kozlaker (2015) struck out three, walked none, allowed two hits and no runs in facing 11 batters over three innings. At the plate for the winning team, Jason “The Hawk” Halka (1998) was 3-for-6, reaching four times with a triple and scoring three runs, Sheehan was 2-for-6, reaching and scoring three times with a double and RBI, and Jeremiah Przybylski (1994) was 2-for-5 with a double, two RBIs and a walk. Kozlaker, Grosjean, and Joel Byers (1998) were each 3-for-4, with Grosjean getting a double, two RBIs and a walk, Kozlaker had a double, RBI, two walks and scored twice and Byers also walked once. Then you have Keith “Moose” Belcik, who was a senior on Clay’s 1979 Class AAA state championship team. After going 2-for-2 with two RBIs for the West Team, he was “traded” to the Heintschel Team midway through the game, and promptly hit a two-run home run, also scoring Jeff Ladd

(1998), who had walked. Belcik also pitched for the Heintschel Team, and he can still bring it, facing six batters, striking out one, walking two, allowing one hit while not giving up a run. Also pitching for the Heintschel Team was the captain, Heintschel, who started, Bryce Castilleja (2014) and Tscherne. At the plate for the Heintschel Team, Clay varsity coach Jim Phillips (2001), who played for Youngstown State, went 2-for-3, current Clay player Nick Walter had a triple and scored, Castilleja had a base hit and RBI, and Wasserman and Heintschel each had a base hit. Others making appearances were John Kayser (1993), Anthony Jacobs (2016) and Jesse Castilleja (2011). Wasserman even kept it “all in the family” with the umpire, Jim Foulke, who is a 1975 Clay graduate. One participant with notoriety was 1973 graduate Mike Elders, who played professionally in the Detroit Tigers organization. Elders delegated himself to coaching third base for both teams. Although West said he would like to see more varsity players participating, almost all agree that Wasserman does a great job organizing this every year. “I think Gerry has great enthusiasm for Clay baseball and takes pride in coordinating the alumni game. He did a great job,” Tscherne said. Grosjean added, “That’s awesome that Gerry does that for everybody. I mean, honestly, if he didn’t do it, I don’t know who else would. A huge shout out to him — he’ gets all the guys together and we’re able to come out here and just share the game with each other again.” Halka, who coached the Clay junior varsity in 2014 and the Junior Acme team from 1999-2002, says he would like to see it continue to grow into an even larger event. “I always enjoy coming out every year to see former players along with teammates and friends I’ve met from the past alumni games,” Halka said. “Every year a couple new faces come out for fellowship and to support Clay. I’d love to see the alumni game grow and become a huge annual event. Gerry does a nice job of continuing the annual tradition and I hope that it continues in the future.”

Genoa’s Brian Lay ends tough week with Fremont win By Brian Liskai Special to The Press Liskai2x@roadrunner.com Brian Lay faced a lot of adversity when it came to racing after being the subject of some negative press. He was able to put it all behind him and scored his first 410 sprint win of the 2017 season at Fremont Speedway on Kistler Engines Night. Lay, from Genoa, took the lead from Broc Martin on lap five of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint feature and survived a couple of late race cautions to score his fifth career win at “The Track That Action Built.” The win also keeps Lay in contention for the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads FAST 410 Championship Series presented by Ohio Logistics title. “When you throw all that other stuff out, this one is for the old man. We’ve been struggling with our dry slick set-up…I think I almost got fired at one point. Today is my crew guy Jeff Martin’s 61st birthday and no other way to celebrate than a win,” said Lay beside his Robert Mucha Law; Seagate Sandblasting;Varga Farms; American Quality Stripping; Dave Story Equipment; Wood County Collision; Gary Schumaker Fuel backed No. 45. “This thing is out of brakes. I used everything I had. At one time I missed a mark down there and I said, ‘Man, if you do that again you are in trouble.’ I was probably 1,500 (RPM) around one but it was eight grand (RPM) down the back shoot. I got into three and four hot and buried the right front and I thought ‘Oh God, here comes the turn four wall.’ I just tried to settle myself down. The cautions helped us so we didn’t have to race too hard in lapped traffic. Everything went our way tonight,” Lay added from the Engine Pro Victory Lane. Fremont’s Paul Weaver stormed from his 10th starting position in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature to grab the lead on a lap nine restart and drove to his second win of the year at Fremont. It was his eighth overall victory of 2017 – he has six at Attica Raceway Park – and the 43rd of his career at Fremont where he sits ninth on the track’s all-time win list. Weaver has won all three of the JLH General Contractor FAST 305 Championship Series presented by Engine Pro features so far in 2017 as he looks to repeat as the series champion. “This just doesn’t make sense to me. The cushion is momentum and forward drive. Jamie (Miller)…I never ever would have thought he would go to the bottom. It was just unbelievable that he just opened the door for me. You saw how high the cushion was in three and four. All you had to do was close your eyes and bury it in there and it would launch off the corner. One and two was half throttle. “I have to thank Bob Hampshire and Dave Rice for giving me such a great motor. I relinquished all the set-ups this year to Daniel and I was hoping he had listened to me the past two years…and now I can sit in the chair and just hop in and race. I

(Press file photo by Russ Lytle/Facebook.com/RussLytle/RHP) have faith in what he does,” said Weaver of his M&L Excavating; Hampshire Racing Engines; Schiets Motorsports, Weaver Performance Center; Tender Touch Car Wash; Miller Rigging backed No. 1w. Delta’s Ky Harper would lead all 15 laps of the McCullough Industries 602 Late Model feature but it wasn’t easy. Chester Fitch, who had won the previous two weeks in a row and defending track champion John Brooks pressured Harper throughout the A-main before he could score his third win of the year and 12th career victory at Fremont. “It’s been a really long week. Monday we found out something was wrong with the motor. I can’t thank Rich Farmer and all the guys at the Fremont NAPA for rushing around and getting this motor done for us tonight. They did a hell of a job. The thing was strong and ran good. I knew with Chester (Fitch) and Brooks (Mike) starting close to us we were going to have it tough. I hate running the bottom but it worked,” said Harper. “I have to wish a happy birthday to one of my crew guys. He busted his butt all week on this thing to get it ready and my uncle…everyone put a lot of time in this car to get it to victory lane,” added Harper. Fostoria’s Shawn Valenti continues to

dominate in the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks. He grabbed the lead from Keith Sorg on lap four and other than dealing with a handful of cautions was never seriously challenged as he scored his fourth win of the year at Fremont. It was Valenti’s 36th career win at the track placing him 11th on Fremont’s all-time win list. He also owns two wins this year at Attica Raceway Park. “Once you get a cushion out here and it slicked off getting off two…just an awesome truck and I’m blessed to be the one to drive it. I could hear someone back there so I knew it was going to be close. Anytime you have a short shoot out with these things it’s exciting. Brad (Mitten) has been running really good this year and last week just had a little bit of misfortune,” said Valenti of his Jeff Babcock owned truck. Lay's road to victory Defending track champion Broc Martin and Lay comprised the front row of the 30-lap 410 sprint feature and when the green flew Martin gained the advantage over Lay, Chris Andrews, Thomas Meseraull, Shawn Valenti, Byron Reed and Adam Kekich. A Martin bobble on the cushion on lap five would allow Lay to grab the lead and two laps later Meseraull

used the low groove to steal second as Andrews, Martin and Reed battled hard for third. Duane Zablocki would stop with engine woes on lap eight with the running order Lay, Meseraull, Andrews, Martin, Reed, Valenti and Lee Jacobs. The man on the move was Gibsonburg's Stuart Brubaker who drove from the last starting spot – 20th – to 10th. When the green flew Lay pulled away while Andrews got around Meseraull for second with Reed driving into fourth. Martin spun on lap 13 and when the green reappeared Lay pulled away again as Andrews, Reed and Meseraull waged a terrific war for second. Lay had a comfortable lead when he raced into heavy lapped traffic with eight laps remaining. That allowed Meseraull and Reed to close quickly. A caution with five laps to go gave Lay an open track but put “T-Mez” Reed right on his rear bumper. Lay hit his marks perfectly on the restart as Meseraull and a resurgent Andrews gave chase. Valenti coasted to a stop with two laps to go, setting up a shoot out to the checkers. Lay got an excellent restart and made zero mistakes the last eight turns and drove to the win over Meseraull, Andrews, Reed and Tyler Gunn.
