Northwood City Council on May 9 will decide whether or not to keep automated photo speed and red light enforcement cameras at two intersections. As of The Press’s deadline on Thurs-day, May 2, the vote is expected to be 4-3 against the cameras. Council approved a contract with Red-fl ex Traffi c Systems, Inc., of Arizona, in 2005 to install and operate the cameras at the intersections of Woodville and Lem-oyne roads, and Wales and Oregon roads. The current three year contract with the company expired on April 23. The city and Redfl ex share a percent-age of the revenue from traffi c citations is-sued as a result of the cameras, which have caught thousands of motorists speeding or going through red lights since they were in-stalled. Fines are $110. Violators do not get points on their licenses In 2010, Councilmen Jim Barton, Mike Myers, Connie Hughes, and Dave Gallaher voted in favor of renewing the contract, while Councilmen Ed Schimmel, Dean Ed-wards, and Randy Kozina were opposed. This time, Barton is not in favor of re-newing the contract. His swing vote will put an end to the operation of the cameras. Barton told The Press that he is now opposed because the “rationale for the cameras has gone from safety to revenue.” “My support for the cameras was based on assurances that the revenue would be used for safety,” said Barton. “However, I now feel that we are in a situation where the camera revenue is being used more as a revenue source than for safety.” He cited as an example the city’s pur-chase of a salt dome for $211,395 with Red-fl ex funds. “I can assure you that we would have put salt on our roads with or without that dome,” he said. “It becomes a concern when the wants become more important than the needs.” Edwards agrees. The cameras, he said, is “looked at as a money maker for the city.” In addition, he believes some motorists avoid the intersections, which in turn hurt business. “I believe they have chased Woodville Road traffi c away, which could be a factor in the lack of business on Woodville Road,”
Traffi c camera contract is headed for defeat
By Kelly J. KaczalaPress News [email protected]
A proposed bill with bi-partisan sup-port in the Ohio Legislature would, if passed, ban the use of traffi c cameras to de-tect red light and speed limit violations. Rep. Ron Hood, R-Ashville, Rep. Ron Maag, R-Lebanon, and Rep. Dale Mallory, D-Cincinnati, are sponsoring House Bill 69. Hood, in a statement on his website, said the traffi c cameras are often installed “as a money-grab for local governments.” “The primary purpose of issuing fi nes should be to punish people who violate the law, not as a source or revenue,” stated Hood. He cited studies that showed accidents increased at some intersections where cam-eras are installed. “A 2004 study conducted by North Carolina A&T State University…found no change in single accidents and large in-creases in rear-end crashes and many other types of crashes relative to other intersec-tions,” he stated.
In Ohio
Bill 69 would ban traffi c cameras The legislators introduced the bill soon after a Hamilton County Common Pleas Court judge ruled in March that speed en-forcement cameras in Elmwood Place, a small village of about 2,000 in southwest Ohio, violated citizens’ due process rights. Judge Robert Ruehlman, in his ruling, stated that the cameras are not calibrated by a certifi ed police offi cer, but rather by the company that owns the cameras, which has a fi nancial stake in the game. “It is a scam that the motorists can’t win. The entire case against the motorists is stacked because the speed monitoring device is controlled by the company,” said Ruehlman in his ruling. Supporters of the cameras are fi ghting back. The Traffi c Safety Coalition issued a statement last month urging legislators to oppose House Bill 69. The group noted there were several cit-ies in Ohio that saw a reduction in crashes due to the use of traffi c cameras. One of the cities cited was Toledo, which saw a 39 percent reduction in fatal red light running crashes. “State leaders should be encouraging
more cities to use cameras as a tool to re-duce injury and death on our roadways,” stated the group. Northwood Mayor Mark Stoner, who is fi ghting council to keep traffi c cameras at two intersections, said he plans to lobby the Legislature to defeat the bill. Although some opponents of the cameras have cited studies showing the cameras in some com-munities may increase accidents at inter-sections, local statistics show the cameras lower the accident rate in Northwood. Stoner and former Administrator Pat Bacon were successful years ago when they traveled to Columbus after learning that Congress had withdrew funding for the Wales Road overpass project. They were able to get support from the Transportation Review Advisory Council, which pledged to cover the shortfall in funding. If council renews its contract for the traffi c cameras, Stoner said he will go to Columbus with Administrator Bob Ander-son and Police Chief Tom Cairl to oppose House Bill 69. “I would give it a shot,” said Stoner. “You got to make your voice heard.”

The Choraliers will present their “Celebration Across the Nation” Show May 9-11 at Fassett Middle School in Oregon. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean)
By Tammy WalroPress Entertainment [email protected]
The Choraliers will present “Celebra-tion Across the Nation,” May 9, 10 and 11 at 8 p.m. at Fassett Middle School, 3025 Starr Ave., Oregon. The show will feature songs and dances sure to entertain audience members of all ages. Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for se-niors and students and $5 for children under 10. Tickets for groups of 10 or more are more are $6 and are available in advance from any Choralier member; at James Optical and Beth Allen Flowers in Oregon and at Urban Flow-ers in Rossford. Tickets will also be available at the door. Proceeds from the performance will benefi t the Choraliers’ scholarship fund for area students planning to further their edu-cation in the fi ne art of music. In their 56-year history, the Choraliers have given more than $50,000 in student scholarships. The Choraliers will also be holding fund-raisers in the coming months to help pay for a trip to New York City next year. The group recently learned it has been invited to par-ticipate in a performance of Handel’s “Mes-siah” at Lincoln Center as part of a Thanks-giving Weekend concert being presented in 2014 by Distinguished Concerts Internation-al (DCINY) New York City. The concert will feature outstanding musicians and choristers performing Thomas Beecham/Eugene Goos-sens’ 1959 re-orchestration of “Messiah” for full symphony orchestra. The invitation to audition for the perfor-mance came as a surprise to the group, ac-cording to director Mary Ann Siefke. “Nor-mally, groups apply, however we were con-tacted by the company,” she said. “A young man, Jason Mlynek, who is from Oregon and was a Choraliers scholarship winner some years ago, now works for DCINY and he sug-gested us. “However, there is an audition process that we had to go through to be selected,” Siefke said. “The Choraliers received this invita-tion because of the quality and high level of musicianship demonstrated by the singers,” said Dr. Jonathan Griffi th, artistic director
and principal conductors for DCINY. “It is quite an honor just to be invited to perform in New York. These wonderful musicians not only represent a high quality of music and education, but they also become am-bassadors for the entire community. This is an event of extreme pride for everybody and deserving of the community’s recog-nition and support.”
The singers will spend fi ve days and four nights in New York City in prepara-tion for the concert, which will include rehearsals, along with some time for sight-seeing. The cost for each member, just to sing at Lincoln Center, rehearsals, etc., is about $650, Siefke said. The group typically has between 20 and 25 members. “We’re look-
ing at various kinds of fundraisers, and a few restaurants and businesses will have donation cans,” Siefke said. Donations from the community in support of the Choraliers’ trip may be sent to Mary Ann Siefke, c/o The Choraliers, P.O. Box 167787, Oregon, OH 43616.

Ironwood group to host festivalEast Toledo
Veteran’s Memorial The Toledo State Hospital Cem-etery Reclamation Project Committee, with NAMI of Greater Toledo is pre-senting the 6th Annual Veteran’s Me-morial Program Saturday May 18, at 11 a.m. The purpose of the event is to honor and remember 1,994 former pa-tients buried in numbered and name-less graves, with more than 70 known veterans, including 35 from the Civil War era. Civil War re-enactors will add drama to the program, which will in-clude roll call, a rifl e salute, and taps. Family members have been invited to acknowledge and honor newly found ancestors. Flags will mark all 1,994 in-dividual graves. Keynote speaker University of To-ledo President Dr. Lloyd A. Jacobs will be joined by guest speakers Rep. Te-resa Fedor, Ohio 47th House District, and Lee Armstrong, executive director of the Lucas County Veteran’s Com-mission. The event will begin in the Old Cemetery, off Arlington Avenue be-hind Bowsher High School, where 900 men, women and children are buried. The former patients were sent to the state hospital due to a variety of dis-abilities, including mental illness and brain disorders, developmental dis-ability, addictions, and medical condi-tions. The veterans among them were often sent there for war related medi-cal and psychiatric conditions, now better known as PTSD. The Patriot Riders and American Legion Riders Post 110 will provide a motorcycle escort from Arlington Ave. to the New Toledo State Hospital Cemetery, located on the University of Toledo Health Science Campus, where an additional 1,100 former patients, including veterans, are laid to rest. A brief service will be held at the New Cemetery. A reception will follow at the Northwest Ohio Psychiatric Hos-pital at 930 South Detroit Avenue.

The Ironwood Peacock/Co-op Commu-nity Organization will hold a neighborhood festival this summer to celebrate families and the history of the East Toledo neighbor-hood. Mary Wilson, founder and president of the Ironwood/Peacock organization, said the festival will be held Friday and Sat-urday, August 23-24, at the Edgar Holmes Park, located in the 1200 block of Iron-wood. On Friday, a “Meet and Greet” with musical entertainment will be held at the park from 6-9 p.m. Members are currently organizing a rally that will take place prior to the open-ing ceremonies to be held at noon on Satur-day, said Wilson. “We are putting together a rally to try to help raise awareness of the importance of having a strong family structure as well as to help strengthen and support families in the area,” Wilson said. “We are hoping to march from Waite High School to Edgar Holmes Park on that day.” Wilson has been in contact with the East Toledo Family Center, the Self Ex-pression Teen Theater, Harbor Behavioral Health Services and other community or-ganizations in order to bring in information for families to use for services and support, she said. “We are especially concerned for fami-lies who have lost a family member to gun and/or gang violence,” Wilson said. “We want them to know they have not been for-gotten and that there is support out here for them. We want them to be able to heal and grab hold of and live a more productive life. Hopefully, the rally will also allow them to bond with others who are going through the same things.” The festival will feature entertainment throughout the day on Saturday. Dee Jay Amy and Fast Eddie will be providing mu-sical entertainment as well as Julian Thom-as, Ironwood native Dizzy D. Brown, Tracy Hayes and Allen Everett. There will be food and games for chil-dren as well as “give-a-ways” for families, Wilson said. The organization will also be selling soul food dinners to help raise funds to purchase lawn equipment. “We take care of our own vacant lots in the neighborhood,” Wilson said. “We had 50 kids between the ages of 11 and 15 look-ing for some kind of work to do last year. We had them cut grass, pull weeds, pick up trash, etc. in order to keep them busy and to earn a small stipend. Our equipment has lasted us many years, but we have burned out the mowers. We are trying to be self-suffi cient and independent in Ironwood. We try not to depend on or wait for the city to do things.” The organization would also like to de-velop a summer program and maybe an af-
ter school program with funds raised from the dinners. “If you keep kids busy, you can keep the vandalism and crime down,” Wilson said. “If kids have too much idle time, that is when they will fi nd negative things to do. We want to help support a strong fam-ily unit and teach the kids what it is to have neighborhood pride at the same time.” The soul food dinners will include greens, fried chicken, barbecue ribs with
Ernestine Wilborn-Flagg’s famous barbe-cue sauce, and corn bread. Homemade ice cream will be sold from 4-5 pm. Homemade cakes will also be available. “We are hoping that former residents will come here with their families, set up a picnic or a table in front of where they used to live and just enjoy coming back to the neighborhood to see old friends,” Wilson said. “I have lived here 56 years and I know what it used to be and I have a vision of what it can be. We have so much potential here; we just need the resources to help. I believe in the neighborhood. I do see a bet-ter tomorrow. I love my neighborhood and don’t want to be anywhere else.” Wilson said she is also hoping that the seven generations of the Classy Steppers can reunite during the festival. For more information, contact Wil-son at 419-309-4021 or Reverend Thomas Hutchens at 567-322-3152.

he said. Edwards is also not pleased that Red-fl ex receives a bigger percentage of the fi nes than the city. “A majority of ticket money goes out of state,” he said. Schimmel agrees. “This money is wealth that is never to return to Northwest Ohio. In the end, the city receives a fraction of what it would have otherwise received on a properly is-sued traffi c citation,” said Schimmel.
Improves safety Supporters of the cameras say they are a deterrent to speeding and running red lights, and that revenue from the fi nes has funded many safety improvement projects in the city. “I personally do not like Redfl ex,” said Gallaher. “I don’t think it’s sneaky or un-derhanded. We’ve done everything we can to let people know it’s there. We’ve spent money out of Redfl ex revenue to put speed limit signs on Woodville Road to let them know it’s there. And there’s been enough press about the cameras. But people still get caught by Redfl ex. The chief assures us it is making a difference. Just because of the schools at the Woodville Road intersec-tion, I would like to see them stay a little while.” Hughes agrees. “It’s a heavily traveled intersection, and a school zone,” said Hughes. The Northwood Local Schools District has begun the process of working with the Ohio School Facilities Commission to cre-ate a master plan that could include new or renovated facilities. One of the possi-bilities, if approved by the school board, is construction of a new building near the Woodville Road intersection. “If there is a new pre-K through 12 building at that site, there would be more traffi c with construction and trucks going in and out. I don’t know if that’s going to happen or not. But that’s a possibility. It’s just going to become more of a need if that project, in fact, comes to fruition in the fu-ture,” said Hughes. The cameras are also changing the be-havior of motorists. It is common to see
vehicles’ brake lights suddenly appear as motorists approach the intersections. “I go through that intersection at least twice a day to work,” Hughes said of the camera at Woodville and Lemoyne roads. “Ever since Redfl ex has been there, I don’t have to be so afraid when the light changes and it’s time for me to go out into the in-tersection. People are now aware it’s there. They’re slowing down.” “That’s what we want,” said Police Chief Tom Cairl. “If you do slow down, and you have an accident, it won’t be a severe accident.” He credits the cameras for decreasing the accident rate at both intersections in the last several years. “We’re one of the few communities in the area that has not had any fatal accidents in fi ve years,” he said. In addition, the cameras free up police offi cers who would be monitoring the inter-sections to respond to more pressing needs in the community, he said. “We’re still down three offi cers from the recession. It’s like having 2 offi cers there 24 hours per day, seven days per week,” said Cairl. Fewer accidents The cameras should stay, said Meyers, because they have helped reduce the num-ber of accidents. “If the police chief tells us it’s one of his tools, and the intersections are safer ac-cident-wise, then we should not go against what he’s saying. He’s a department head,” said Meyers. “We should keep them. There’s
no doubt. If not, we’re not letting the de-partment heads run their departments.” Schimmel, who has always been ve-hemently opposed to the cameras, said he doubts they improve safety. The accident rate has been lower on Woodville Road, he believes, because “traffi c has been greatly reduced on Woodville Road in the past sev-eral years.” “The loss of businesses on Woodville Road has fueled this decrease in traffi c,” said Schimmel. “A great number of people have told me that they avoid Northwood to avoid the cameras. With a decrease in the number of cars moving through the inter-section, of course the number of accidents has decreased. The number of businesses on Woodville Road has also greatly de-ceased since the placement of the cameras. I do not believe that this is a coincidence.” Cairl rejects claims that the cameras hurt business, and cites the location of traf-fi c cameras near Westfi eld Franklin Park Mall in Toledo as an example. “If that was truly the case, why is Franklin Park thriving. They have cameras near there. If those cameras were causing an issue, then their businesses would suf-fer,” said Cairl. “Society is getting to the point where the cameras are benefi cial for the safety of everyone,” he added. “It’s a voluntary sys-tem. If you don’t run red lights, and don’t speed, you won’t get a citation.” In hopes of getting the contract re-newed, Stoner plans to propose a compro-mise, such as lowering the fi nes and keep-ing a larger share of the revenue. Gallaher agrees. “Part of public opinion on Redfl ex is the excessive fi ne. I think if the cameras are going to stay, we have to address that,” he said. If the contract is not renewed, Cairl said offi cers will be assigned to monitor the intersections because of the high accident rates before the cameras were installed. “We have to. We already know these violations are occurring on a daily basis,” said Cairl. “It’ll be hard to do because we’re already down three offi cers. But we’ll do our best.” Councilman Randy Kozina did not return messages to The Press seeking com-ment.
Traffi c cameras headed for defeat
By Kelly J. KaczalaPress News [email protected]
Northwood has funded numerous safe-ty enhancement projects with revenue col-lected from automated photo speed and red light enforcement cameras installed at two intersections. Since the cameras were installed in 2005, the city has collected a total of $989,699.18 in fi nes. “There’s been a lot of good things done with this money,” said Police Chief Tom Cairl. “We can’t protect every citizen 24-7,” said Mayor Mark Stoner. “But if you look at that list, I would think they would say, as a resident, I am better off having that red light camera because it makes the commu-nity safer.” Among the safety improvements fund-ed by the cameras: a safety study at Wales/Tracy roads, compensation earmarked for a police offi cer who had been scheduled to be laid off, construction of a continuous right turn lane at the Wales and Oregon roads intersection, a speed monitor trailer, diagnosis of inoperable tornado sirens, the purchase of two tornado sirens, court hear-ings for motorists appealing citations, stop signs, speed limit signs, replacement of police and fi re dispatch consoles, software for the police and fi re departments, radios, pagers, transfer of school lights from Lark Elementary (which closed) to Lemoyne

Road, school zone sign repairs, traffi c sig-nal repairs, radio upgrades, Automated External Defi brillators (AEDs), and the con-struction of a new road salt dome. Former Police Chief Gerald Herman said in 2005 that the cameras would act as a deterrent, changing motorists’ behavior, and improving safety. Revenue, he said, would diminish as a result. Statistics released by Cairl confi rm Herman’s prediction. Figures show a huge decrease in traffi c camera revenue from 2005, when the city collected $279,597.74. In 2006, revenue dropped to $175,268.06, which Cairl attributes to fewer citations as the result of the construction of the contin-uous right turn lane from Wales onto Ore-gon Road. The revenue continued spiraling down to $65,186.09 in 2007, $48,455.42 in 2008, and $36,508.72 in 2009. But in 2010, revenue climbs to $63,220, then $160,013 in 2011, and $161,452.13 in 2012. The increase in revenue after 2009, said Cairl, is due to technology made available
that year that enabled the camera to enforce the 20 mph speed limit in the school zone at the Woodville and Lemoyne roads inter-section. “When we got the capability, and the technology came of age, we were able to en-force the school zone times,” he said. The 20 mph speed limit ran from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. dur-ing the week. The speed limit at that inter-section the rest of the day is 35 mph. Cairl said he was able to get council’s approval to purchase another set of blink-ing yellow lights to get motorists to comply with the 20 mph speed limit. “I was trying to educate people that there are two sets of lights blinking at you as you’re coming into a school zone. Please slow down to 20 mph,” said Cairl. Camera revenue was used to purchase the lights. “We still get people who want to fl y through there. You can’t stop in time if you’re driving faster than 20 mph and a kid walks out in traffi c. We just thought it was in the best interests of the children to start enforcing it. That’s why the revenue started going up in 2010: technology came of age and we could enforce the speed limit for the school zone.” Without the camera revenue, the city would not have been able to fund most of those projects, said Stoner. “There’s only so much money in this economy,” he said. “You can go looking for it in the general fund, but sooner or later, that well runs dry, too.”

Indictments returned The Ottawa County Grand Jury has indicted three men on drug traf-fi cking charges. The charges stem from an investigation by the Ottawa County Drug Task Force from December 2012 through March 2013. Glen J. Ward, 27, of Port Clinton, has been indicted on four felony counts of Traffi cking in Drugs; Robert Pataki, 18, of Wakeman, has been indicted on three felony counts of Traffi cking in Drugs and Roberto Rodriguez, 53, of Port Clinton, has been charged on four felony counts of Traffi cking in Drugs, along with misdemeanor charges of Possession of Drugs and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. All three men are being held without bond pending ar-raignment in the Ottawa County Court of Common Pleas. In addition, Antonio L. Lopez, 35, of Martin, was indicted on two counts of Domestic Violence after an incident in his home in February in which two household members were allegedly as-saulted. The charges are felonies of the third degree, citing Lopez’s two prior convictions for Domestic Violence. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

After encountering no opposition at two hearings held by the Ohio Power Siting Board, developers of a proposed natural gas-fi red electric power plant in the City of Oregon will see how a draft permit issued by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency covering air emissions is received by the public. An informational session to explain the permit and receive public comment is scheduled for May 8 at 6:30 p.m. at the Lake Erie Center, 6200 BayShore Rd., Oregon. If the permit is approved, it would mean the fi nal regulatory hurdle has been cleared for the construction of an 800-megawatt gas turbine facility on a 30-acre parcel near the corner of North Lallendorf Road and York Street. During Wednesday’s session, staff from Ohio EPA and Toledo Division of Environmental Services will present information about the draft permit and answer questions. The public can submit comments for the record regarding the permit. According to the EPA, the facility would emit nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, volatile organic chemicals, sulfuric acid mist, greenhouse gases and particulate matter but at levels allowed by the federal Clean Air Act. The EPA and environmental services division will accept written comments on the draft permit through May 13. Anyone may submit comments or request to be on the mailing list for information. The permit process includes taking public comments into consideration before deciding whether to issue or deny the fi nal permit. For information on the draft, write to Matt Stanfi eld, Toledo Division of Environmental Services, 348 South Erie St., Toledo, O. 43604. Fax comments to him at 419-936-3959; or email matthew.stanfi [email protected]. The application and other related materials are available for review at TDES by calling 419-936-3015. The draft permit also is available online. William Martin, a managing partner of North America Project Development, LLC, testifi ed during a hearing last month before the siting board that the plant will fi ll a need by offsetting a large portion of the more than 6 gigawatts of capacity scheduled to go offl ine in 2015 due to federal environmental regulations. During the hearing, Martin testifi ed that more than 2.5 gigawatts of capacity of the 6 gigawatts set to go offl ine are in the service territory of First Energy. “This project is an 800-megawatt project and it’s also located in the First
Energy service territory,” he said. “It does offset a large portion of the 2 ½ gigawatts of capacity that are scheduled to go offl ine which goes a long way towards ensuring reliability and price stability in the service territory.” He said the project would create about 500 construction-related jobs and operation of the plant would create about 25 full-time jobs.
Although Oregon Clean Energy, a subsidiary of North America Project Development, has been targeting the summer of 2016 for the plant to begin operating, Martin told the siting board the start date may be pushed back by several months. He said the start-up date is contingent on the results of a feasibility facility study by PJM, the regional transmission organization responsible for coordinating the movement of wholesale electricity over all or parts of 13 states and the District of Columbia. Martin testifi ed he met with PJM the day before in Pennsylvania. “I think that (study) process will lead us to the fall of 2016 or, perhaps, even a spring of 2017 start date,” he said. The siting board staff has recommended the developer’s application for a certifi cate of public need and environmental compatibility be approved. A board hearing held April 2 in Oregon City Council chambers drew support from city offi cials, business groups, and labor representatives. No one spoke in opposition to the plant. Martin’s company was the original developer of a 700-megawatt generating plant in Fremont, O. where the company partnered with Calpine. William Siderewicz, a partner in Oregon Clean Energy, was an executive with Calpine at the time. After the Fremont plant was sold, Martin said he and Siderewicz began analyzing the electrical market in Ohio, focusing on the northwest corner of the state. Martin said the Oregon site was the only one that met all of the company’s criteria.
Plant gets nod The Ohio Power Siting Board has authorized Oregon Clean Energy, LLC, to build a natural gas-fi red electric generating facility on N. Lallendorf Road in the City of Oregon. Todd Snitchler, board chairman, said the facility will add “much needed” generating capacity to northern Ohio. “The facility will take advantage of cleaner burning natural gas, at today’s affordable prices, further enhancing Ohio’s diversifi ed energy portfolio,” he said last week. Oregon Clean Energy is a subsidiary of North America Project Development. A hearing on the plant’s air permit is scheduled for May 8. The fi rm’s application said that an estimated 532 construction-related jobs would be created during the building of the $860 million project. During operation it will employ 25 full-time workers. The board held two hearings – one each in Columbus and Oregon. The project received support from local offi cials representing the city, businesses, and labor.

Reports of two attempted abductions April 29 in the Curtice area of Ottawa County are being investigated by the sheriff’s department. According to the department, the fi rst incident occurred on Reiman Road and involved a nine-year-old female, who was approached by a suspect in a black four-door vehicle. The suspect opened the trunk from inside the car but sped south on Reiman
after seeing the girl’s mother running toward her. He is described as a white male between the ages of 60 and 70 with gray hair and a scruffy gray beard. The second incident occurred on Front Street in Curtice where four girls were walking and were approached by a man in a similar vehicle, possibly an SUV. The girls, ranging in age from 12 to 16, told sheriff’s deputies the man demanded
they get into the vehicle. The girls ran but also described the suspect as an older white male with grey hair and a scruffy beard. The suspect proceeded eastbound on Front Street. The sheriff’s department said extra patrols will remain in the area to try to locate the man.

The Wood County Planning Commis-sion on May 7 will consider a request to amend the Webster Township zoning reso-lution and allow a propane distribution business to operate under a conditional use in an agricultural district. Gregory Bakies has submitted the amendment proposal, which would cover parcels on Routes 105, 582, and 199. Fencing and buffering would be re-quired but the land would remain zoned for agricultural use. The plan commission staff is recom-mending the commission approve the re-quest, and, in turn, recommend the town-ship trustees approve the amendment.

The parties in a lawsuit fi led by the City of Northwood against the owner of the Woodville Mall are to meet next week to schedule a pre-trial hearing. The city fi led a nuisance abatement complaint in January in Wood County Common Pleas Court seeking to have the deteriorating structure torn down. A May 14 session at 9 a.m. will be used to schedule a pre-trial hearing, according to the case docket. Bob Anderson, city administrator, said last week there has been little contact between the parties except through attorneys. He said the city continues to incur expenses of maintaining retention ponds in the back of the property that collect run-off water from parking areas and the building. “We had to replace one pump and have Toledo Edison drop a power line to the ponds,” he said. “Our main concern is a major storm could cause some fl ooding back there. The ponds should be pumped at a regulated rate. As a city we can’t just let it go and say it’s not our problem because it is private property.” The city will likely seek reimbursement for its costs by having them added to the site’s property taxes, Anderson said, adding said city offi cials have also proposed having the ponds and adjacent property donated to the city.
The city’s lawsuit was fi led against Soleyman Ghalchi, of Great Neck, New York, who bought the mall for $800,000 in December, and the seller, Mehran
Kohansieh, of Little Neck, New York. The complaint contends the building is in violation of fi re regulations and health department codes.
Anderson said the city’s goal through the lawsuit is to work with the owner and expedite the demolition of the mall. “Our position is the fi nal outcome will be the demolition of the mall,” he said. “We want to reach an agreement that it will happen sooner rather than later.” Juanita Jones, the former general manager of the mall who’s told city offi cials she’s representing the new owner, said in February she was scheduling surveys of the asbestos in the building – which would be the fi rst step in its demolition. She couldn’t be reached for comment. With the closing of the Andersons store earlier this year, Sears remains the only operating business at the mall. Its building isn’t part of the city’s lawsuit.
Hearing next week on city’s lawsuit against Woodville Mall
By Cynthia L. JacobySpecial to The Press
The walk-through metal detectors stationed on the third fl oor of the Ottawa County Courthouse could be moved to the main fl oor as one measure to tighten security. The suggestion, which was brought up during a recent elected offi cials meeting, is under review along with other possibilities, county commissioner Jodi Regal said. A survey of safety concerns of all county workers is currently being taken by a subcommittee of the courthouse security committee. Subcommittee members - Sheriff Steve Levorchick and Building and Grounds
Supervisor Jim Adkins - are stopping by all county offi ces to see what worries employees have and to compile a list of options that might be used to combat the issues, Regal said. Heightened security is on the minds of many after a number of recent incidents, Prosecutor Mark Mulligan said. The killings of a Colorado warden prison; a Texas district attorney and his wife and an assistant prosecutor in his Kaufman County offi ce already had government offi ces on edge earlier this year. Then the Boston Marathon bombings renewed fears that surged in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks that killed thousands. Closer to home, the Ottawa County Job
and Family Services offi ce received two threatening calls in the past month and a fi red factory worker was arrested at a plant near the Community Resource Center on State Route 163 after he returned to the site with weapons, Mulligan said. Still others in the community are reeling from the deadly domestic dispute last month. A former county worker remains hospitalized in Toledo after he allegedly shot and killed his estranged wife at her sister’s home in Carroll Township home. He shot himself twice in the head but lived. Relocation of the metal detectors at the main doors is a safeguard suggestion many seem to believe may deter problems, Regal
said. The two metals detectors were installed several years ago on the third fl oor of the courthouse. One sits at the entrance to the courtroom, judge’s offi ce and probation department. The other leads to the county clerk’s offi ce, juvenile court, annex courtrooms and the sheriff’s offi ce. They were installed through a partnership with the common pleas court and the Ohio Supreme Court, Mulligan said. The higher court, the prosecutor explained, maintains a commitment to court security. Maintaining that security is one of the considerations that will be reviewed with others including Common Pleas Court Judge Bruce Winters, said the prosecutor.

nspirational essage of the eek: ForgivenessOne of the most difficult of human challenges can be
forgiving those who have hurt us. Our hurt feelings usually
incline us more toward revenge than forgiveness. And at
times, we may even feel that fairness or justice requires us
to punish those who have wronged us, or at the very least,
call upon them to give an account of why they have acted
in such a way. Sometimes punishment is justified, and
sometimes people should be called to give an account of
their actions, but that doesn’t mean we should not forgive
them. On the contrary, until we have truly forgiven
someone who has wronged us, we are held captive by the
real or imaginary wrong that was done to us; it gnaws
away at us, eating us from the inside out. The real and
lasting value of forgiveness lies mainly in the way that it
allows us to think about this negative event in a more
positive way: as an event that called forth mercy and
forgiveness rather than revenge and retribution. True
forgiveness is an act of God’s relations far better than
justice or revenge. Give us this day our daily bread; And
forgive us our debts, As we also have forgiven our debtors.

After a delayed start due to having to cut through more red tape than originally expected, Ottawa Residential Services, Inc. is on course to meet its goal of having about 20 blighted or abandoned residenc-es demolished this year. Ottawa County received approxi-mately $222,450 through the Moving Ohio Forward Grant Program in which Attorney General Mike DeWine allocated about $75 million statewide to demolish blighted structures. The funding comes from a settlement between state attorneys general and fi ve of the largest mortgage lenders over allega-tions of foreclosure abuse and deceptive lending practices. Stephanie Lowe, executive director of Ottawa Residential Services, said the agency has overseen the demolition of two homes – one each in Oak Harbor and Bay
Ottawa County demolition work on course to meet goalTownship – and is scheduling the demoli-tion of another fi ve: two in Rocky Ridge and one each in Portage and Bay town-ships and Oak Harbor. “And we are in the process of collect-ing bids for the next fi ve structures,” she said. “They include one in Allen Town-ship, one in Portage Township, one in Oak Harbor, and two in Port Clinton. Addition-ally, we have received clean title searches for one in Clay Township and one in Rocky Ridge. We will be scheduling the asbestos assessments in the upcoming weeks for those two structures.” The county commissioners approved contracts April 23 for demolishing fi ve structures – two each in Port Clinton and the Village of Rocky Ridge and one in the Village of Oak Harbor. The contracts for the Port Clinton structures were awarded to Allen Excavat-ing, Inc. for $6,800 and $7,300 for homes on W. Fremont Road and E. State Road re-spectively. Cash Services was awarded a con-
tract for $7,500 to raze a home on W. First Street in Rocky Ridge and Marko Demoli-tion & Crushing was awarded contracts of $10,800 and $5,600 to raze homes on N. Main Street in Rocky Ridge and N. Locust Street in Oak Harbor respectively. Lowe said her offi ce is also awaiting the results of title searches for another three properties - two in Danbury Town-ship and one in Clay Township. “All of these combined should put us close to demolishing 17 structures by August 2013,” she said. “Our goal is 20-22 structures before the end of the year, de-pending on funding” The attorney general’s offi ce began accepting the fi rst round of grant applica-tions in May 2012. Demolition work is to be completed by December 31, 2013 and a fi nal report of demolitions and land reutilization is re-quired by December 31, 2014. The program does not require a match for the fi rst $500,000 allocated to each county.

Chipping away To the editor: Like it or not, the United
States Constitution is the law of our land. Our Founding Fathers knew that to preserve this great experiment called America, the God-given right of its citizenry to self-de-fense should not be infringed. As such, they must be afforded ready access to the latest and greatest technology of their time. Don’t take my word for it; spend time reading the Federalist Papers and learn from the likes of John Jay, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, et al. To say that the Second Amendment was written without considering AK-47 rifl es is to say the First Amendment was written without consider-ing email and the Internet. Ridiculous. The National Rifl e Association (NRA) is doing what their dues-paying members have asked them to do – protect the Sec-ond Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners, and by doing so, every law-abiding citizen in this great nation – to the greatest extent possible. Compare their mission to “Mayors Against Illegal Guns,” approximately 900 mayors who wish to take more of our free-dom and liberty away in the name of pub-lic safety. The tragedy encountered when mass-shootings take place – most recently at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. - should be our warning against such a false premise. Sorry Mayor Bloomberg, but I’ll cast my vote and write my check for free-dom every time. Speaking of Sandy Hook, Ms. Schia-vone wondered in her letter to The Press just last week, “where in the Second Amend-ment are the rights of those 20 children and teachers killed in Newtown?” The answer is simple: the Second Amendment is their right. The federal government – once again in the interest of public safety – stripped those teachers, administrators, students, etc. of their Second Amendment right by declar-ing all public school campuses to be gun-free zones. And so it goes, the law-abiding citizens are left to fear for their lives while someone with no regard for such a sign in the school window carries out an unspeakable atrocity before taking his own life. More gun laws from government only lead to more gun laws broken by a criminal. Placing further restrictions on law-abiding
citizens as a knee-jerk reaction to crimes they didn’t commit is absurd. Shameful and cowardly? Those two words perfectly describe our progressive government that continues to chip away at the freedom and liberties of the American people. Molon Labe. (Come and take.)David OtteElmore
Cleanup a success To the editor: The Oak Harbor Cham-ber of Commerce Village-Wide Cleanup was held Saturday April 27. We had more than 50 volunteers come out to help clean up the downtown area, and we would like to recog-nize the following groups for their commit-ment: Oak Harbor Apple Festival Royalty Court; fi fth-, sixth- and seventh-grade mid-dle school students; the Oak Harbor High School baseball team and the Oak Harbor High School football team. We would also like to thank Community Markets for the use of their Dumpsters; the Village of Oak Harbor for donating trash bags and National Bank of Ohio for donating gloves for the event. Nearly three-quarters of a Dumpster was fi lled on Saturday morning with trash that is no longer on our streets. Everyone needs to do his or her part to help keep our small town beautiful. Valerie Winterfi eldExecutive Director, Oak Harbor Area Cham-ber of Commerce
Depriving township To the editor: My father was fi red from the Jerusalem Township as its fi re chief. It’s not that the township trustees made up a law that contradicts the actual law for citizens on emergency scenes that upsets me. It’s not the insurance agency that says it is not a liability and that all fi re departments are covered for just that sort of scenario that ruffl es my feathers. Or that before they made these accusations that they never bothered to contact our township’s insurance agent, Mrs. French to ask.
It’s not that they declined to hire on two separate occasions the ex-fi refi ghter in ques-tion without explanation. It’s not that in my adult life, I couldn’t enjoy an adult beverage with my father since, as he always said, “I need to be ready in case the tones go off.” I don’t get angry for the lack of appre-ciation that the three guys have for the busi-ness lost at our company because of the nu-merous hours spent in devotion to the fi re department or to the free repairs done at our shop – from township tractors to the snow-plows. I have even come to terms with the many events in my childhood, like sporting events my father missed because of some-thing to do with the fi re department. But my blood boils every time I hear those tones go off and my father doesn’t sprint to his truck and take off. Because of three people, the citizens of our township have one fewer person in a volunteer de-partment not coming to their aid. And not just a simple volunteer fi refi ghter, I might add. They are depriving our citizens of a man with 30 years of experience – a full-time fi refi ghter in the city of Toledo who sees more fi res in one night then our town-ship sees in a year. An instructor from ev-erything to fi refi ghting to building collapse. Certifi ed in public safety diving, weapons of mass destruction, USAR, CERT, and count-less others. Nope, what makes me downright upset is that our township trustees put countless lives needlessly in danger every day.Brian StantonSon of former Jerusalem Township Fire Chief Harry Stanton
Missing cane sought To the editor: While working at a rum-mage sale at Northwood Church of God on Thursday, April 25, I leaned my beautiful purple cane against the wall so I could put some books away. At 9 a.m., the doors were opened and my purple cane was gone within minutes. The cane was very precious to me because it belonged to a friend who had passed away. If the person who took my cane would
bring it back to the church, I would say “thank you and God bless.”Doris HughesMillbury
Use existing properties To the editor: I’m very saddened to hear Alcore Senior, LLC, wants to tear up the fi eld at Seaman and S. Coy roads in Oregon instead of choosing old properties with buildings just sitting empty and need of renovation or demolition. The fi eld they want to destroy could be used for organic, healthy food for people, birds, animals and wildlife. The environmentalists are so against drilling for oil in the U.S., yet they don’t seem to care at all about all the schools, stores and other types of buildings built on wild habitat and farmlands instead of places with dilapidated structures in the cities or suburbs. Instead of building on farmlands and natural habitats, people should use their brains to fi gure out good, safe, beautiful ways to successfully rebuild our cities and suburbs. For example, why don’t they tear down the Great Eastern empty buildings on Woodville Road and put the senior complex there? I think that would be a wonderful lo-cation for something like that. Thank you Dollar Tree stores and Rite Aid pharmacy for putting your stores in properties that were already used for com-mercial businesses. You are good neighbors and caring citizens.Glenda P. BurnatToledo
Movin’ on up? To the editor: I feel like I’m living in the sitcom, “The Jeffersons,” because Oregon is “movin’ on up.” We’re getting a new coffee shop, two new service stations, a sub station, another dollar store and a Goodwill store, and a used car lot. I can’t believe the progress our coun-cil are making. Are you kidding me? Can’t we do bet-ter than this? Well, at least we’re not getting another bank – yet.John GrayOregon

The newest and largest Metropark in the Toledo area is expected to open in Jeru-salem Township in three to fi ve years, if the park system can maintain its “ambitious” development schedule. The park, located on the current How-ard Farms property, will be unlike any oth-er Metropark, Tim Schetter, Ph.D., director of natural resources for the Metroparks of the Toledo Area, said last week. “This is unique to the Metroparks in that there are coastal aspects to it and it will be largely a wetlands’ restoration project.” The property—nearly 1,000 acres—is located just south of Reno Beach and west of Metzger Marsh. It will create a nearly eight-mile continuous stretch of public lands that includes Metzger Marsh, Ottawa Wildlife Refuge, Crane Creek State Park and Magee Marsh. Throw in Maumee Bay State Park and Cedar Point Wildlife Refuge to the west and 11,687 acres of unique wet-lands are or will be preserved for waterfowl habitat and our enjoyment. The land, currently a working farm, was purchased with two partners in 2008 for $6 million. Dr. Schetter said the Ohio Division of Wildlife contributed $3 mil-lion; the Clean Ohio Fund $1.8 million and the Metroparks’ land acquisition fund $1.2 million. This is the single largest purchase in Metroparks’ history both in acreage and cost. Naturally, the partnership came with caveats. Two of them are that some portion must be open to hunting and no more than 20 percent of the land can be developed into buildings and trails. The Metroparks’ board voted at its April board meeting to retain Smith Group/JJR from Ann Arbor for $52,375 to collabo-rate with Ducks Unlimited to develop a park plan. The resolution calls for the two fi rms to “create habitat enhancements that also create opportunities for fi shing, wildlife viewing, small craft boating, hunting, inter-pretive messaging and research.” Schetter anticipates that Cedar Creek, which is currently pumped dry on the prop-erty to allow for farming, will be restored and meander two and half miles through the park before connecting with Ward’s Ca-nal and empty into Lake Erie. A lot of the vegetation common to wetlands will spring up naturally, once water is reintroduced. “The seeds are in the soil and you have to create the right conditions for them to out-compete other seeds,” said Roy Kroll, manager of conservation programs at Ducks Unlimited in Ann Arbor. “It’s not uncom-

mon for a corn fi eld to go to cattails in one year…We will also create mud fl ats that, in the spring, and sometimes the fall, will har-bor shore birds.” Ducks Unlimited is a national orga-nization whose mission is to create and preserve habitat for North American water-fowl. Habitat will also be created for turtles, snakes and other marsh denizens. Schetter envisions the public will be able to use the new park for hiking, bird watching, hunting, canoeing and kayaking. The creek and canal should be deep and wide enough for small watercraft and, al-though there is no lake shoreline, access to Lake Erie can be had via Ward’s Canal, the waterway that separates the property from Metzger Marsh. Schetter envisions working
with federal and state offi cials to provide access to Metzger’s and the marshes and refuges east of it. There will be few structures on the land, a restroom facility for sure, and some interpretative message boards. Public hearings will be held starting as early as next month to determine what you want to see at the park. That informa-
tion will be taken into consideration be-fore plans are drafted. Schetter anticipates plans to be fi nalized by the end of this year. Schetter said the preliminary estimate for restoration is $4 million. Metroparks and the other partners are looking for grant op-portunities to fund the project. The new park could be open to the pub-lic in three to fi ve years if this “ambitious” schedule doesn’t hit any snags, Schetter said. A name has not been chosen. “This may be one of the largest farm-land-to-coastal wetland restorations in many decades and the chance to restore the natural stream channel is an exciting and rare opportunity,” Kroll said.

The property, nearly 1,000 acres, is located just south of Reno Beach and west of Metzger Marsh.
A garbage truck travels its route stop-ping at every garbage can and dumping the contents into the truck. The truck contin-ues until it is full and can’t hold any more garbage. Then it goes to the dump in order to empty all of the garbage it has collected. You can behave as a garbage truck. This happens when you pick up and store mental garbage on a regular basis. Unlike the garbage truck, you don’t often empty the accumulation and may even carry it around with you for a lifetime. As a result, you get bogged down as your mental gar-bage accumulates. Continuous refuse accumulation re-sults in numerous negative impacts. El-evated stress levels, moodiness, sadness, anger, eating and sleep disorders, ulcers, high blood pressure, and headaches are just some of the manifestations. You will fi nd and pick up trash every-where. Worries, bad experiences, opinions of others, criticism, insecurities, doubt, fear, and uncertainties are some examples of the mental litter gathered and stored. Obviously, the best way to deal with mental garbage is to avoid picking it up in the fi rst place. Most of the stuff you get
bogged down with isn’t worth any attention at all. Worries are a perfect example. Wor-ry is like being in a rocking chair. It’s a lot of activity that doesn’t get you anywhere. Don’t waste time worrying. Instead, either take action or let it go. Worries lead to fears which cause you to project the worst possible outcome. This is a precarious situation because your mind tends to attract whatever it’s fi xated on. When you carry around fears, you are focused on your fears. You have created the probability of a self-fulfi lling prophecy which will reinforce your fears. Letting go of your worries helps you re-lease your fears. Additionally, you should replace your fears with an ideal mental vi-sion of whatever result you would like to have happen. This directs your mind to at-
tract what you want instead of what you are afraid of. Bad experiences also weigh you down. You carry around all of the negative effects of the emotions you felt. As a result, these experiences accumulate, acting as an an-chor rather than as learning experiences. Stored bad experiences cause you to be-come skittish, limiting your ability to move forward. Analyze your bad experiences. Deter-mine the cause along with what you could have done differently. Use this information to become wiser. It’s impossible to live a mistake free life. Your objective is to avoid repeating the same errors. Criticism from other people is added to the mental garbage you carry around. You fret over any negative comments you re-ceive. Your hurt feelings create emotional pain. You then try to conform to what you think will be accepted in order to avoid fu-ture criticism. You change course to meet others’ expectations rather than your own. This reaction bogs you down. It’s a no win situation. You are unhappy because either you are not following your path or you are not being accepted. The only way
to jettison this mental garbage is to live life on your terms without worrying about or seeking anyone else’s approval. Uncertainty about the future clogs your mind, preventing you from enjoying the present. Squandering today by fretting about tomorrow accomplishes nothing for today or tomorrow. Unless you break out of this cycle, your days will be needlessly fi lled with stress. Each day must be treasured by appre-ciating all the blessings in your life. The foundation for tomorrow is built by appre-ciating today. Today is when you take ac-tion to prepare for tomorrow. Now is the perfect time to purge your mental garbage. Once you clear your mind, don’t start picking up new trash. You have much more important things to focus on.

Chateau Tebeau Winery, located in Helena, was awarded a Double Gold Medal for their Maison Rouge (a sweet red blend of Concord, Niagara and Ives) at the 2013 Finger Lakes International Wine Competi-tion, held March 23-24 in Rochester, N.Y. The competition, which is open to all commercial wineries from all wine-pro-ducing countries, is known as the world’s largest charitable wine competition. In this year’s competition, a record 3,502 wines were entered from 880 wineries, 20 coun-tries and all 50 United States. The competition judges awarded 100 Double Gold, 174 Gold, 1,204 Silver and 1,327 Bronze Medals. Award-win-ning wines were featured at several public events following the competition, includ-ing the FLIWC Dinner & Auction held at the Rochester Plaza Hotel to benefi t Camp Good Days and Special Times, a not-for-profi t organization dedicated to improv-ing quality of life for children and families worldwide whose lives have been touched by cancer and other life-threatening chal-lenges. Double Gold is awarded when all judges unanimously agree that the wine is worth a gold medal. The honor came as a surprise to Bob and Mary Tebeau, owners of the winery, which is located at 525 SR 635. “We found out through an email from one of our fellow local wineries,” Mary said. “One of the winemakers there sent us an email with ‘Double Gold’ in the sub-
Chateau Tebeau earns “Double Gold” in wine competition
Bob and Mary Tebeau were surprised and elated to learn that their Maison Rouge wine earned the prestigious Double Gold honors at the 2013 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition.
ject line. Apparently he had seen the list of winners on the Internet. “When I saw the email, I thought they had won, but instead, they were congratu-lating us for our award,” she said. “We were ecstatic to have produced a wine that met the Double Gold standard.” The Tebeaus foray into the business began with Bob’s love for making his own wines at home. The winery’s name – Cha-teau Tebeau – came from a label Mary de-veloped back in the 1980s for Bob’s wine. “It sounded good and we all got a laugh out
of it. Little did we know at the time that circumstances and lifestyle changes would lead us to create the Chateau Tebeau Vine-yard and Winery,” she said. The pair have studied wine by visit-ing many wineries and picking up tips and ideas from other winemakers who share a mutual love of the industry. They enhance their expertise by attending classes on viti-culture and enology. In 2008, they had the fi rst planting of the vineyards on their property. A year later, they started construction of a tasting room.
The business opened Jan. 9, 2010, serving the fi rst glasses of wine to their neighbors and friends.

Eric Herman is headed to the Big Ap-ple.
New York City is 560 miles from Her-man’s hometown, Oregon, and 525 miles from Ohio University in Athens, where Herman has played on the offensive line for the past fi ve years.
He hopes New York is his next perma-nent residence for, say, the next decade. The Central Catholic graduate was selected by the New York Giants in the seventh round of the NFL draft last Saturday. He was the 19th pick of the round and the 225th player selected overall. He is one of two Oregon natives (Michigan safety Jordan Kovacs) to be drafted or sign free agent contracts to the NFL.
Herman, who is just over 6-foot-4 and 320 pounds, said going through the draft process last week was “an awesome experi-ence.”
“I was home with my family, down in the basement,” he said. “It was awesome that the majority of guys I trained with got the call. I was excited I was part of that group that got picked. I was a little nervous at times, but I had faith in myself and what I did in my career. I’m excited to be a Giant and get to New York and lace up and do the best I can. Hopefully, I can make the roster and I hope I get to play. It’s a very hard road ahead of me, but I’m really excited.”
Last season Herman, a fi fth-year se-nior, started every game at right guard for the Bobcats and earned All-Mid-American Conference second team honors for the sec-ond straight year. He fi nished his career by starting in 51 straight games and helped Ohio U. to its second consecutive bowl vic-tory. Herman posted team highs in pancake blocks (128) and knockdowns (131) last season.
Eighteen offensive guards were cho-sen in last week’s draft, and Herman was the 17th guard chosen. The only other MAC guard picked in the draft was Kent State’s Brian Winters, who went to the New York Jets with the No. 10 pick in the third round.
Oregon man heading to Big Apple for NFL debut
Herman became the fi rst OU offensive lineman to be selected in the NFL draft since former Bobcat Al Benton was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the fourth round in 1972.
Herman said he found out he was going to be chosen by the Giants about three min-utes before his name was called on ESPN’s coverage last Saturday, around 4:30 p.m.
“I was getting nervous on Saturday, so I turned it off to clear my head and I hung out with my brother-in-law and soon to be brother-in-law,” Herman said. “I started to get calls late, from teams that were going to fi ght for me. This was my round, and if the cards fell right, they would pick me up. I’m glad I got to hear my name called. I want-ed to be drafted and I wanted to continue in my sport. I feel like I’ve accomplished something right now.”
Herman, who said he has never been to New York City, said he spoke with Giants coach Tom Coughlin and general manager Jerry Reese last Saturday afternoon.
“Coach Coughlin told me they’re excit-ed to pick me up and was surprised I was still there,” Herman said. “They said I was a good pick for them. I talked to my new of-fensive line coach (Pat Flaherty) a little bit. He called me back a little bit later and my family was riled up and excited. We tried to get to know each other a little better. I didn’t get time to talk to him at the (NFL) combine. It was really cool to get to know him.”
Herman has already graduated with a degree in engineering technology and man-agement. He said he felt the Giants selected him because their offensive philosophy fi ts his playing style.
“I felt like that was my style of of-fense, like that would be one of the teams that would pick me up,” Herman said. “I didn’t think I was going to be a higher pri-ority. They have a lot of offensive linemen. I really didn’t talk to the Giants a lot at the combine (in Indianapolis in February) or before. It was awesome to get picked up by them. It’s a great franchise and they win ballgames, and it’s fun to win.”
Herman said he will leave for New York on May 9 and train at the Giants’ fa-cilities through the end of June.
“I feel great. I feel strong,” he said. “I have to keep on conditioning to get ready to go to (training) camp. I’m really excited. When I got drafted I said, ‘man, I could play a game right now I’m so pumped up.’ I’m not exactly sure what’s going to happen, but I know I can do it.”

Dolphins owner wants a “Michigan man”
Continued on page 20University of Michigan safety Jordan Ko-vacs (Press fi le photo by Scott Grau)
By Mark Griffi nPress Contributing Writer
Clay graduate Jordan Kovacs was supposed to be in Ann Arbor, Mich., this weekend to walk down the aisle for his college graduation. He will, however, be somewhere else that day – at the Miami Dolphins’ three-day rookie camp. “My last two exams are Wednesday,” Kovacs said Tuesday night. “I’ll be down in Miami (during graduation), but it’s a fair tradoff. I’m heading down to Miami now and I’m excited about it.” Kovacs, a fi fth-year senior who played strong safety at the University of Michigan, was not taken by any teams in last week’s NFL draft. He was, however, chosen as one of the Dolphins’ 16 rookie free agents and was scheduled to fl y to Miami on Thursday morning. “The majority of rookie camp is Friday, Saturday, Sunday,” Kovacs said. “I’ll fl y back Sunday and play it by ear and see what happens next.”
Kovacs, who has never been to Miami but says he “used to vacation down in Daytona,” said he began receiving several phone calls from prospective teams at the end of the sixth round of the draft last Saturday. “Miami was pretty up front with me and I wasn’t anticipating them drafting me,” Kovacs said. “The owner (Steve Ross) called me from Miami. He went to Michigan. He called me at the end of round seven. He said, ‘I hope you get drafted, but if not, I want you on the roster. I want a Michigan man.’ I talked to a bunch of other teams. Steve called me back, with the GM (Jeff Ireland) and the defensive coordinator, and I fi nished things up.” Kovacs, who turns 23 next month, was the Bo Schembechler MVP Award winner and a second-team All-Big Ten (coaches) selection following the 2012 season. Originally a walk-on at UM, Kovacs became well known around the Big Ten following his redshirt freshman year, when he earned a starting job in the Wolverines’ starting defensive backfi eld in 2009.
Kovacs played in 50 games at Michigan, starting 46 at safety, and ranks 12th on UM’s all-time tackles list (331). He is just the 15th player in Michigan history to record 300-plus career tackles. And yet, no NFL team deemed him worthy of picking him in the draft. The Dolphins picked nine players during the three-day draft, including strong safety Don Jones from Arkansas State. Kovacs said he was chosen as a safety, and the Dolphins said they plan to move Jones to cornerback. “We knew if we were drafted, I would be a day-three pick, sixth or seventh round,” Kovacs said. “I’ve watched enough drafts to know that nothing is guaranteed. At end of the day, I knew I would have an opportunity to play football. That’s all I could ask for. I wasn’t really expecting anything. I know the draft is kind of a crapshoot. It worked out.” Former Clay head football coach Mike

With the new longer offseason, the boot camp is one of a record 10 training programs for post-NFL careers that NFL Player Engagement offers to current and former players.
The four-day program will focus on improving each player’s writing skills for newspapers, radio, and the expanding digi-tal media industry. A field exercise at a
Mud Hens help bring NFL to Bowling GreenToledo Mud Hens home game will include a mock press conference as part of the player’s game coverage. Players will write and record their own radio commentary as part of one of the other planned exercises.
“The Mud Hens are honored to be part of the collaboration between the NFL and Bowling Green State University for its inaugural ‘NFL Sports Journalism & Communications Boot Camp’,” says Joe Napoli, president and general manager of the Mud Hens. “This is an exciting oppor-tunity for us to provide former professional athletes the use of our facilities to learn another aspect of sports.”
Faculty for the boot camp will include Ed Bouchette (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette),
Peter King (Sports Illustrated, NBC), and Barry Wilner (Associated Press) as well as former NFL players-turned-journalists Solomon Wilcots (CBS, NFL Network), Matt Bowen (Chicago Tribune), Matt Chatham (Boston Herald), and Bucky Brooks (NFL.com and NFL Network).
The boot camp is hosted by the BGSU School of Media and Communications and the Sport Management program and was developed with NFL Player Engagement, under the auspices of the Richard A. Maxwell Sport Media Project.
Player enrollment criteria include previous participation in NFL Player Engagement programs, prior media experi-ence, essays, and NFL playing experience.

Donnelly, who coached Kovacs for one season (Kovacs played safety and receiver, earning fi rst-team All-City League honors at both positions), said he isn’t surprised his former pupil is getting a shot to play in the NFL. “Nothing Jordan accomplishes is surprising,” Donnelly said. “His incredible work ethic and refusal to take no for an answer has served him well in high school and college. Jordan is a better athlete than most people give him credit for. What makes him special is that he maximizes the talent he possesses and combines that with his intelligence. It’s one thing to have athletic ability but no awareness. Jordan has been blessed with ability and a high football IQ.” Donnelly said he’s only had two players during his coaching career who share the identical athletic ability, high football IQ and work ethic traits: former Ohio State and Chicago Bears receiver Dane Sanzenbacher and Kovacs. Sanzenbacher led Central Catholic to the Division II state title in 2005. “There’s a reason both players were captains and MVPs of their respective teams in college,” Donnelly said. Kovacs said he was home in Oregon watching the draft with his family when he got a call from the Dolphins.“It was a long day,” he said. “Probably one of the longest days of my life. Miami called at the beginning of the seventh round. They said if I fall through the draft, they were interested.” Kovacs said he met with one of the Dolphins’ scouts at Michigan’s pro day on March 14, but the two just had a casual conversation. Things are sure to get more intense in Miami this weekend. “I’m just going to go and compete,” Kovacs said. “It’s like walking onto the Michigan football team again. That’s the same mindset I have.” Kovacs, who grew up a Detroit Lions fan, said it still doesn’t seem real. “I’ll believe it when I’m down in Miami,” he said. “It hasn’t really sunk in yet.”

Clay sophomore shortstop Ryan Fournier was a starter on the Eagles’ junior varsity team last season, but coach Garry Isbell moved him up to the varsity to serve as a pinch hitter and pinch runner in the postseason.
Fournier got his chance at the plate in the postseason, against Bowsher.
“I had one at-bat and ended up striking out swinging,” Fournier said. “We won, but it was like, I had that opportunity and I let it get away. It was a little disappointing, but I knew I would get more at-bats.”
Fournier isn’t disappointing anyone this year, particularly Isbell. Through 14 games Fournier is batting .400 with 11 runs, 11 RBI, fi ve doubles and nine stolen bases. Clay is 7-7 and 3-1 in the Three Riv-ers Athletic Conference.
“I’m not surprised he’s having such a good season,” Isbell said. “I knew coming into this season that he was a solid baseball player and an exceptional athlete. Things have worked out for him so far this season, and most of that is due to his hard work ethic and putting himself in good situations and taking advantage of opportunities.”
The 5-foot-11 Fournier, 16, played sec-ond base as a freshman but was moved to shortstop this season. Last year’s JV short-stop, junior Kyle Row, is now Clay’s start-ing second baseman.
“I like shortstop,” Fournier said. “This year I went over to short and things just worked out. I feel more like a leader on the fi eld, and I like that part of the fi eld a little better.”
Fournier and Row have teamed up to turn “fi ve or six” double plays this season, which Fournier said gives him a thrill.
“It’s awesome,” he said. “It feels so good when you fi eld that ball and get (Row) a good feed at second. I always can get bet-ter (defensively). I need to get better. I have fi ve or six errors. I misread a ball a little bit
Clay sophomore shortstop strong at plate, in fi eld
and it crosses me up. In the St. John’s game (Tuesday), there was a ball to my right and I didn’t get to it quick enough. I crossed my feet up and it got by me.”
Isbell said he likes what he’s seen from Fournier so far.
“Ryan is an outstanding shortstop with great hands and a strong arm,” the coach said. “He has excellent range, outstanding speed on the base paths and he has a very strong bat capable of hitting to all fi elds.”
Offensively, Fournier has been a more than solid leadoff hitter. He has nine steals
and has only been caught once.“I guess I’m pretty quick,” he said. “I
try to pick up on pitchers’ tendencies, how they look over and their twitches they have going home or throwing over. I’ve always loved hitting. That’s been my passion. I hit pretty well last year and I wasn’t sure how it was going to go this year. I’m taking one at-bat at a time and getting on base, then I let Bryce Castilleja and Lucas Robson hit me in.”
Fournier admitted the Eagles still have some work to do if they hope to clinch a
TRAC title and reach their goal of returning to the regional tournament.
“We need to play a little better de-fense,” he said. “We have little mental mistakes, and mental mistakes on the base paths. We need to hit a little better with people on base. If we start doing that, get more runs around, we’ve been getting good pitching and defense. We just need to score more. I think we should win the TRAC. If we step up our game and play the game of baseball, we should be pretty good.”

Pump It Up!Pump It Up!
By Mark Griffi nPress Contributing [email protected]
Eastwood’s softball team had just lost two games in a row – its fi rst losses of the season – but coach Joe Wyant wasn’t too concerned.
The Eagles, after all, have plenty of chances to right the ship this week, begin-ning with a home game Wednesday against Rossford. Eastwood then plays Fostoria on Friday and fi nishes the week with a dou-bleheader against Liberty-Benton on Satur-day.
“We have to get back on the winning track after losing two one-run ballgames,” Wyant said. “I like what I’ve seen, but there are seven good teams in our league and any one of those teams could beat anybody.”
Through Tuesday the Eagles were 14-2 and 3-2 in the Northern Buckeye Confer-ence following a 4-3 loss to Elmwood on Monday and a 2-1 loss to Lake last Wednes-day. Eastwood’s NBC victories have come against Woodmore, Fostoria and Otsego.
Wyant’s squad has shown good bal-ance on offense (.363 team batting average), defense and on the mound this season. The Eagles “showcased” all three aspects two weeks ago when they won their pool by go-ing 4-0 at the Showcase Classic tournament in Akron, beating schools such as Medina, Akron Hoban and Akron Ellet.
Eastwood registered a 5-2 win over Medina, which reached the Division I fi nal four last season, and beat Hoban, a regional fi nalist last season, 5-1. The Eagles defeated Ellet 1-0.
“We were excited going down there,” Wyant said. “We didn’t know if we were going to be 1-3 or 4-0. Our kids played solid defense and we hit the ball well. We were playing really well - 14-0 and doing really well - but the last two games we just haven’t hit.”
The Eagles led 3-1 against NBC-lead-ing Elmwood (3-0) before the Royals scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh for the victory.
Senior right-hander Whitney Foster, a second-year starter, is 11-2 on the mound
Eastwood softball has its work cut out
with a 1.04 ERA. She has 73 strikeouts and just 13 walks in 81 innings.
“Whitney’s been very solid,” Wyant said. “She’s pitching well; she doesn’t walk many. She’s been really solid all year.”
Eastwood’s No. 2 pitcher, junior righty Samantha Shirling, is 3-0 with a 1.21 ERA. Shirling, who was on the junior varsity team last season, earned the win against Medina by going 6 1/3 innings and giving up just two earned runs. Foster earned the save.
“As of right now, Samantha will proba-bly be the starter next season,” Wyant said. “She’s a very good pitcher. She’s worked very hard to get where she’s at. She’s vastly improved to where she was, with her speed, accuracy and work ethic.”
Freshman shortstop Mackenzie Al-bright is the Eagles’ leading hitter, batting .440 with 19 runs and one home run from her leadoff position.
“She’s been really solid,” Wyant said. “Her attitude, she’s a competitor. She wants to win, she wants to be better. I didn’t know what to expect before the season. I saw her travel team and she’s better than I was ex-pecting her to be. She’s fi tting right in and doing a nice, solid job. She’s got good speed and she’s got some power.”
Junior catcher Anna Rahrig is hitting .432 with 10 RBI and two home runs. Rah-rig was a designated hitter a year ago.
“She’s got a really good arm,” Wyant said. “I moved her to catcher because of her arm. I just needed her to play instead of DH. She’s been working to be a catcher the
last two years. We stuck her in there and she’s done a real solid job catching.”
Ally Gabel, a senior center fi elder, is batting .420 with 19 runs and nine doubles. Gabel was a fi rst-team all-district selection in 2012.
“She does a great job getting on base,” Wyant said. “Her on-base (percentage) is al-most .600. She gets a lot of walks and does a lot of the little things well. This is her third year playing center fi eld.”
Junior third baseman Cassidy Rolf, a three-year starter, is hitting .404 and leads the team with 20 runs scored, with 19 RBI and three home runs. Rolf was a fi rst-team all-district selection as a sophomore.
“She’s a great hitter,” Wyant said. “She’s very strong and hits with power. De-fensively, she’s really improved this year. She’s got an arm that is by far the best on our team.”

GLENDA COCOA
Hi! I’m Glenda Cocoa. I can be a little bit
shy when you first meet me, but once I
warm up to you I don’t want to leave your
side! I can help you with everything from
holding down the pages while you’re
reading the newspaper, pressing the keys
while you’re working on the computer, to
keeping your lap warm while you watch
TV. I’ll help you with all your chores and
then help you kick back and relax when
we’re done. You’ll wonder how you ever
managed without me! I’m considered a
special needs girl because I have food
allergies and require a special kind of
food.

wart-hog! I am actually a 1 year old boxer

of love to give. I am looking for a family to
share my silliness and wart-hog style with,
and come on how cute am I with my
snaggle-tooth! I am looking for a family
along with 70 + of my canine friends here
at the Lucas County Dog Warden - 410 S
Erie St - 419-213-2800 - Mon-Fri 10-6, Sat

volunteers to come and spend some time
with us pooches as well as donated goods
such as blankets and towels. You can
check us out on Facebook and on
Petfinder.com, and we will be at the Fido
and Feline Fiesta this weekend Sat and
Sun May 4&5 from 10-3 along with lots of
other rescue groups for a big mega-
adoption event! Come check us out and
adopt a new best friend!
