Oregon City Council will consider a Special Use Exception (SUE) in an R-5 Condo-Residential District for the purpose of operating a business out of a food truck in the parking lot of 635 S. Coy Road, where Our Lady of Toledo Shrine is located. Delana Ball, owner of Sabaidee Coffee and Crepes in Tiffi n, is the applicant. James Gilmore, commissioner of build-ing and zoning, said the food truck would be located in the rear of the parking lot of the property close to the entrance. Rules governing food trucks in the city state that an organization, such as a church, school or business, can use a food truck for patrons at a festival. But if the food truck is in competition with a brick and mortar store selling directly to the public, the food truck would need a condi-tional use in a C-2 zon-ing. Since the proper-ty is in an R-5 Condo Residential zone, a special use would be needed for the food truck to operate at that location, according to Gilmore. “We have no zoning that allows the public to sample food trucks,” Gilmore told The Press last week. The Oregon Planning Commission on June 21 recommended that the request be approved by council. Mayor Mike Seferian, a member of the planning commission, said food trucks have been controversial in the city for some time. Food trucks compete against brick and mortar stores that have made a large investment in the community. Food trucks’ investments in a community, by compari-son, are much smaller. Scott Winckowski, chairman of the planning commission, asked if council was working on legislation governing food trucks. Seferian said it was diffi cult to draft legislation that states what is to be accom-plished and that it was hard to put into

words. “We are feeling it out,” he said. “We have always said we will kind of let it go if we can get by without any complaints. I know it does not sound very professional, but we only chose to do it this way because we could not come up with something bet-ter. So we are trying to feel our way through and possibly come up with language or legislation or something. When we looked around at different communities, we did not fi nd something we would consider re-ally good. It sounds like it might be easy to put something down, but it is diffi cult.” Well received Ball said she has owned Sabaidee Coffee and Crepes in Tiffi n since 2014. “It is doing well. It is very well re-

ceived in my commu-nity,” she said. “They love me. Even through COVID-19, I am sur-viving. It is because I have people that come from Toledo. I have people that come from Columbus. I have peo-ple that come from all over the state, just to my restaurant. They love the atmosphere. They love the friend-liness. They know they get more than just

a cup of coffee. They are loved up. They know it and they love my product. I pay a lot of money for my product, so it better be good. I have always wanted to come and expand here into Oregon. I approached the spiritual center because they have a very, very large property. It is not being used really, and they want people to know that they are there. So obviously, they are on board.” Ball said she met with Seferian, City Administrator Mike Beasley and Sommer Vriezelaar, executive director of the Oregon Economic Development Foundation, to discuss the matter. “They want me to come. I have gotten a lot of support,” she said. “I want you to know that I am very community minded,” she added. “I pur-

chase things in the community. I hire peo-ple from the community, and I treat them like family.” Rick Orovitz, a member of the plan-ning commission, asked Ball what was keeping her from starting a restaurant in Oregon. Ball said there was nothing prevent-ing her from doing so. But since she al-ready owns the food truck, she would like to feel out the environment before sinking another $100,000 to start another sit-down restaurant. Ball said the food truck will be open fi ve to six days a week from 6:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. year-round. Gilmore said the application was only for Ball’s food truck on that particular par-cel. The food truck cannot move anywhere in the city, just on the property on Coy Road. Ball said she plans on leaving the truck at that location permanently. Gilmore said he did not believe there was any other SUEs for food trucks in Oregon at this time. Support from shrine Chris Rocher, who is on the board of trustees for the Toledo Shrine, said af-ter much discussion with Ball, as well as sending members to Tiffi n to try out the product and getting a favorable response, it was decided to allow her to put the food truck on their property. He said the Toledo Shrine has been at that location for over 25 years and attracts people from all over. “It would provide hospitality to vis-itors and offer them a place to eat and drink,” he said. There was some opposition as well. Stacey Bohland, who has lived di-rectly to the north of the parking lot for 28 years, said Coy Road is very busy. She is concerned that the food truck might in-crease traffi c in the area. There is also a school bus stop in the Shrine parking lot. She did not think it would be safe for kids

who are waiting there early in the morning. Richard Stanley, who lives in Bayberry Creek Condominiums, said his front porch faces the parking lot. He is concerned about additional traffi c as well as additional trash going into a nearby ditch. Others came forward to object as well. Public Service Director Paul Roman said Coy Road and Navarre Avenue is a dangerous intersection. The city received a safety grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation to improve the intersec-tion. Plans call for dedicated right turns and a median – 500 feet east and west on Navarre. It will be a major upgrade and will signifi cantly improve Coy Road. In light of the concerns expressed by some nearby neighbors, the planning com-mission voted 4-1 to accept the SUE for a term of one year. Should council approve of the SUE, the matter will be reviewed again on September 1, 2021. Rogers Lane City council will also consider a zon-ing change from C-2 General Commercial District to R-2 Medium Density Residential District on a parcel at 2189 Rogers Lane at a public hearing on July 27. The owner/ap-plicant is Thomas Saunders. The adjacent properties around the rear are all R-2. There would be very little impact to the surrounding neighborhood if

the zoning were changed, said Gilmore. The property is currently being used as single family, which makes it a non-con-forming use in a C-2 zone. The owner wants the zoning change because a bank will not approve of a loan to rebuild the house should it ever be destroyed, since it is not an approved use. “The question is, can you rebuild your house on property that is zoned commer-cial? No you cannot,” Gilmore said to The Press last week. “The bank does not want to lend on a house that cannot be replaced.” He said there are similarly non-con-forming properties in Oregon that will eventually become commercial. “Once the useful life of that house is gone, we hope commercial or industrial would take its place,” he said. Saunders told the planning commis-sion he has lived on the property for 22 years. He was not aware that the property was zoned C-2. He believed the house, built in 1958, before Oregon became a city, had been zoned C-2 since then. When Saunders sold the property, the buyers were planning on getting a non-conventional FHA loan. Unfortunately, the bank would not provide that particular loan unless the property is zoned R-2. The planning commission voted unan-imously to recommend to city council that the zoning change request be approved.

Oregon to consider allowing food truck in Shrine parking lotto meet social distancing rules set in place during the coronavirus pandemic. Local governments adopted the technology as a means to hold meetings without actually gathering in their chambers. Mayor Claar said there have been a few glitches but overall the virtual meet-ings have gone smoothly. He said he’s been pleasantly surprised by the number of res-idents who’ve sat in on the meetings via their computers at home. During that fi rst virtual meeting, the mayor and councilman Jim Krumnow were in council’s chambers while coun-cil members Tom Jackson, Ben Drill, Zach Floro, Bill Kieffer and Jake Wargacki were at home – all at their computers. Police chief Jeffrey Harrison was in his offi ce next to the council meeting room and fi scal offi cer Sheri Hayes, administrator Dave Hower and solicitor Mark Mulligan “attended” from home.

Newsboys raise The Old Newsboys provides shoes, coats and clothing to needy children and food for families in need throughout the Greater Toledo area. The Old Newsboys earn addi-tional funds through their golf outing fundraiser, the St. Patrick’s Day event in downtown Toledo and a Toledo Walleye charity jersey auction. Last winter, the Old Newsboys provided $96,262 worth of clothing and shoes and $1,829 in emergency food baskets to the community. They also provided $44,128 in grants to or-ganizations that serve children in the area as well as $50,000 in scholarships to area high school seniors. Last year, volunteers from The Press helped local real estate agent Danny Knopp raise $3,986, which put him third among dozens of Old Newsboys.

In Michigan, volunteers for this year’s Aquatic Invasive Species Landing Blitz will be on hand at nearly 30 locations across the state to remind watercraft owners they should follow best practices and clean their boats, trailers and equipment to help pre-vent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

Invasive species affect the ecosystem in and surrounding the Great Lakes, in-cluding Ohio and Michigan.

The Landing Blitz corresponds with Aquatic Invasive Species Awareness Week, June 28 through July 5, and includes all Great Lakes states and Canadian provinces. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is part-nering with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) to sponsor the education and outreach events across Michigan.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s proclama-tion marking Aquatic Invasive Species Awareness Week notes the week is an op-portunity for Michigan’s government to join forces with business, industry, envi-ronmental groups, community organiza-tions, citizens and other Great Lakes states and provinces to take action against the in-troduction and spread of aquatic invasive species.

For Ohioans, to fi nd a Landing Blitz event to participate in, contact Kevin Walters, EGLE aquatic biologist, at [email protected] or 616-250-8637, or check out an event map at the Great Lakes Commission website. The most im-portant message from volunteers this year is for boaters and anglers to “Clean, Drain and Dry” boats, trailers and all equipment

and gear after each use on any lake, river or stream to prevent spreading invasive plants and other aquatic invasive species from one water body to another. State law requires:

• Making sure watercraft and trailers are free of all aquatic organisms and plants before transporting or launching.

• Removing drain plugs and draining all water from bilges, ballast tanks and live wells before moving watercraft.

• Avoiding releasing unused bait into the water.

• Releasing fi sh only into the same wa-ter body where they were caught to avoid the spread of invasive species and fi sh dis-eases.

Following these simple steps can lim-it the spread of invasive species from one lake or river to another. A short EGLE video from a past Landing Blitz shows how easy

A Landing Blitz volunteer at a previous event in Manistee discusses with a boater the importance of cleaning, drain-ing and drying his boat to avoid spread-ing invasive species from one water body to another.

it is to clean, drain and dry boats and trail-ers.

“Millions of dollars are spent each year in Michigan to control the impacts of aquatic invasive species such as zebra mus-sels, sea lamprey and Eurasian watermil-foil,” said Kevin Walters, aquatic biologist at EGLE. “It only takes a few minutes to do a walk-around of your watercraft and trail-er and drain water to make sure everything is clear of material that doesn’t belong.”

Violations of the state law requiring boaters to clean boats and trailers and drain water can carry a fi ne of up to $100. DNR conservation offi cers will continue their efforts to educate everyone who uses the state’s waterways about their responsibili-ties through direct contacts and in partner-ship with interested groups.

Aquatic invasive species have the po-tential to harm Ohio and Michigan’s en-vironment, economy and human health. Invasive aquatic plants such as Eurasian watermilfoil and phragmites can crowd out native species and form dense monocul-tures that limit food and habitat, block ac-cess for boaters and anglers and foul equip-ment such as boat motors and fi shing gear.

Michigan’s Invasive Species Program is cooperatively implemented by EGLE, DNR and MDARD. The program’s goals are to prevent new introductions, limit the spread of established species, detect and respond to new invasions, and manage and control established species.

Invasive species sightings can be reported at Michigan.gov/Invasives by clicking on the blue “Species Profi les and Reporting Information” button on the mid-dle of the page.

Mayor may seeksuspension of 4council membersBy Press Staff Writer Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz has repeated his call for four members of city council who’ve been accused of ac-cepting bribes to resign and if they don’t he will contact the Ohio Attorney General’s of-fi ce to suspend the four, pending the results of their legal proceedings. In a statement issued Thursday, the mayor said he’ll take the action if the four don’t resign by July 12 at 6 p.m. The statement says: “The arrest of four members of Toledo City Council by the FBI has not only outraged Toledoans who expect their elected offi cials to hold them-selves to the highest of ethical standards, but as we learned earlier this week, it has also made it impossible to conduct the business of the city. “Honest and effective government is always important, but in a year that has brought unprecedented challenges to com-munities throughout our country, the abili-ty to conduct the people’s business without delay is essential. “We need to fi ght the COVID-19 pan-demic, as well as the economic hardships and budget shortfalls it has caused. We need to continue to promote effective po-licing policies at a time when many of our citizens have taken to the streets to call for change and reform. And we need to devote resources to strengthening our economy, providing basic services and investing in our neighborhoods. “None of this important work can be accomplished if the four arrested members of council continue to act as though noth-ing is wrong or nothing has changed.” The mayor said he’s spoken with Attorney General David Yost, who has the authority under Ohio Revised Code to sus-pend the four. “I spoke with Mr. Yost today, and he and I are in agreement that this is the wisest course of action,” the mayor said. With the suspension or the process of suspending them started, council will be able to conduct its normal business, he said. In a criminal complaint fi led June 30 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, the FBI alleges Tyrone Riley, Yvonne Harper, Larry Sykes and Gary Johnson ac-cepted bribe payments for votes on offi cial acts. A local attorney, Keith Mitchell, is also being charged for soliciting bribes and funneling payments on behalf of Harper. Michael Ashford, who chairs the Lucas County Democratic Party, said in a pre-pared statement the executive committee is also urging the four to resign.

The NOAA and its research partners are forecasting that western Lake Erie will experience a moderate harmful algal bloom this summer.

This year’s bloom is expected to mea-sure 4.5 on the severity index - among the smaller blooms since 2011 — but could possibly range between 4 and 5.5, com-pared to 7.3 last year. An index above 5 in-dicates the more severe blooms.

Lake Erie blooms consist of cyanobac-teria, also called blue-green algae, capable of producing the liver toxin microcystin which poses a risk to human and wildlife health. Such blooms may result in higher costs for cities and local governments that need to treat drinking water, prevent peo-ple from enjoying fi shing, swimming, boat-ing and visiting the shoreline, and harm the region’s vital summer economy. These ef-fects will vary in location and severity due to winds that may concentrate or dissipate the bloom.

“A smaller bloom forecast for Lake Erie and the surrounding coastal communities is encouraging, but we cannot be compla-cent,” said Nicole LeBoeuf, acting direc-tor of NOAA’s National Ocean Service. “It is our hope that these science-based tools will help local leaders plan for the predict-ed bloom and best position the community and its visitors to deal with what comes.”

The severity index is based on the bloom’s biomass - the amount of al-gae - over a sustained period. The largest blooms occurred in 2011, with a severi-ty index of 10, and 2015, at 10.5. NOAA, the Environmental Protection Agency, Environment and Climate Change Canada and its other partners have set a goal of 3, which was last seen in 2012.

The size of a bloom isn’t necessarily an indication of how toxic it is. For exam-ple, the toxins in a large bloom may not be as concentrated as in a smaller bloom. Each algal bloom is unique in terms of size, toxicity and ultimately its impact on local communities. NOAA is actively develop-ing tools to detect and predict how toxic blooms will be.

Bloom expected in late JulyWith cool lake temperatures in May

and early June, the cyanobacteria only

A moderate summer harmful algal bloom predictedstarted growing in the last week. NOAA expects a more typical start of the visible bloom in mid to late July. The extremely high lake levels are not expected to have a signifi cant effect on the bloom size. While the bloom typically produces some toxins, it is too early to predict how toxic the bloom will be when it starts. However, calm winds tend to allow the algal toxins to concentrate near the lakes’ surface. The duration of the bloom depends on how windy September may be, which cannot be predicted this far in advance. The bloom will remain most-ly in some areas of the western basin, and most of the rest of the lake will not be af-fected.

“The expectation of a smaller bloom than 2019 is clearly something we should welcome. Nevertheless, we still have work to do,” said Christopher Winslow, Ph.D., director of Ohio Sea Grant and Stone Laboratory. “Thankfully, the support of Governor DeWine to address water quality issues through the H2Ohio initiative and the research being funded through the Ohio Department of Higher Education’s Harmful Algal Bloom Research Initiative are import-ant parts of that work. Additionally, we are fortunate that Ohio has capitalized on pro-ductive working relationships between our state agencies and our research institutions. Addressing nutrient loading and harmful algal blooms clearly demands an ‘all-hands-on-deck’ approach.”

The Lake Erie forecast is part of a NOAA ecological forecasting initiative that aims to deliver accurate, relevant, timely and reli-able ecological forecasts directly to coastal resource managers and the public. In ad-dition to the early season projections from NOAA and its partners, NOAA also issues HAB forecasts during the bloom season. These forecasts provide the current extent and 5-day outlooks of where the bloom will travel and what concentrations are likely to be seen, allowing managers to determine whether to take preventative actions.

“The mild rainfall this spring com-pared to last year will lead to a much small-er bloom,” said Richard Stumpf, Ph.D., NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science’s lead scientist for the seasonal Lake Erie bloom forecast. “While the bloom this year probably will not be as mild as in

2018, we still expect to see large areas with-out substantial effects. This depends on where the bloom gets pushed by the wind, so anyone using the lake needs to regularly check the location of the bloom.”

Gathering data, refi ning modelsNOAA is now routinely using the

high quality satellite imagery from both of European Union’s Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites, which were designed to detect blooms in large lakes and estuaries. The cells that cause the bloom can fl oat and sink in the water, allowing them to collect nutri-ents through the water and get to sunlight near the surface. This information is espe-cially of interest to water treatment plant operators because intake structures are usu-ally located below the surface, so the risk of toxins in their raw water may be greater when these cells sink. This year’s forecast includes an improved model that provides more accurate predictions and visualiza-

tions of where the bloom is located within the water column. View the new visualiza-tion on the updated Lake Erie harmful algal bloom forecast website.

Nutrient load data for the forecasts came from Heidelberg University. The various forecast models are run by NOAA’s NCCOS, the University of Michigan, North Carolina State University, LimnoTech, Stanford University, and the Carnegie Institution for Science. Field observations used for moni-toring and modeling are done in partnership with a number of NOAA services, includ-ing its Ohio River Forecast Center, National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, and Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research, as well as Ohio Sea Grant and Stone Laboratory at The Ohio State University, University of Toledo and Ohio EPA.

A planning document designed to as-sist economic and workforce development organizations in Huron, Ottawa, Sandusky and Seneca counties is set to be presented to businesses and other groups this summer. The counties are participating in the 4 County Group 4 Collaborative Growth ini-tiative to develop a strategy for addressing the challenges facing the region’s economy and workforce. The analysis was funded by a $110,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. The resulting document is based on what is called SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) as well meetings with representatives of the in-dustrial sector, focus groups, an online sur-vey and interviews with key stakeholders. Poggemeyer Design Group, a Bowling Green consulting fi rm, conducted the proj-ect with the Bowling Green State University Center for Regional Development. The plan includes eight categories:

4 County Group planning document unveiled

• Education/lifelong learning • Marketing/branding • Infrastructure/capital resources • Regional collaboration • Tourism • Business/industry activities • Quality of life • Legislative action The project began almost two years ago, said Stephanie Kowal, director of the Ottawa County Department of Job & Family Services. “The idea is to work with business to

make sure we have a really good pipeline of qualifi ed employees and that we have the communication with the schools, both the K-12 schools and the local training centers, so that as folks go into programs they know where the job opportunities are,” she said. “We want to promote that locally along with the quality of life in our area that attracts people and makes them want to stay here.” One key conclusion of the document is: “Develop, create and maintain a multi-media marketing campaign that will enable the area to sell itself regionally, state-wide, nationally and internationally” and to ‘cre-ate a unique identity and sense of commu-nity for the four-county region.” A summary of the planning document was presented last month to local eco-nomic development organizations, county commissioners, municipal and township offi cials, state legislators and educational entities. A presentation for businesses and oth-er stakeholders will be scheduled for later this summer in each county. The fi nal document will then be pre-sented to county commissioners for adop-tion.

A vehicular crash that injured two law enforcement offi cers in Carroll Township remains under investigation, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The offi cers were involved in a pur-suit on State Rt. 19, north of Oak Harbor, on July 2 about 9:10 p.m. when the crash occurred. According to the highway patrol, of-fi cer Loren Welch, of the Oak Harbor Police Department, and Deputy Nikolas Davenport, of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Offi ce, were in pursuit of a black Dodge Challenger on Rt. 19 when it turned left onto Salem-Carroll Road. When offi cer Welch slowed to make the turn his vehicle was struck from behind by deputy Davenport’s vehicle. After con-tact, the Welch vehicle traveled off the left

2 offi cers hurt in pursuit crash near Oak Harborside of the road, struck an embankment and rolled over, coming to rest on its wheels. Deputy Davenport’s vehicle also struck the embankment and stopped in the ditch. Davenport and Welch sustained what were described as non-incapacitating in-juries and were transported to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center by Mid County EMS. Holiday fatal accidents The Ohio State Highway Patrol is re-porting 22 persons lost their lives in 21 traffi c crashes during the July 4th reporting period, which began July 2 and ended July 5. Some type of impairment was deter-mined to be a factor in at least fi ve of the crashes. Troopers made 425 arrests for impaired driving and 280 for drug-related charges. The patrol responded to 631 crashes and made more than 22,494 traffi c contacts in

all, including assistance to more than 2,900 motorists. By comparison, there were 17 fatalities during the same period last year and eight in 2018. This July 4 season, safety belts were not in use in eight fatal crashes and used in two. Motorcycle helmets were not used in three fatal crashes and used in two. The highway patrol was unable to determine if safety belts were in use in four fatal crashes and whether helmets were in use in three motorcycle crashes. There were 120 felony arrests this year in the state compared to 182 last year. In all, there were 11,572 enforcement actions this year compared to 35,516 last year. “Driving impaired remains a signifi -cant problem,” said Col. Richard Fambro, patrol superintendent, “We need motor-ists to commit to keeping our roads safe. Designate a sober driver.”

New Junior Conservationist summer program announced The Northwest Ohio Soil & Water Conservation Districts are offering a free at-home “Do-It-Yourself Junior Conservationist” summer program for youths. The program’s hands-on activities and registration can be found online at www.lucasswcd.org/jrcc.html. Participants will learn about soil, wa-ter, plants, animals, community and nature by completing activities in each category and submitting photos of themselves doing the activities or photos of their completed projects by Friday, Aug. 28. Upon completion of the program, participants will be sent a certifi cate. An optional Junior Conservationist t-shirt is available for $10. Youths who don’t wish to register or receive a t-shirt and certifi cate, can still en-joy the activities on their own for free. The Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District will sponsor t-shirts for the fi rst 50 Junior Conservationists to complete the program in Ottawa County. To sign up, call Becky Simpson at the Ottawa SWCD at 419-898-1595, email [email protected] or visit www.lucass-wcd.org/jrcc.html.

Website upgrades The Wood County Auditor’s offi ce launched an upgraded property search page, available at www.co.wood.oh.us/au-ditor or at https://auditor.co.wood.oh.us. Among key upgrades of the site are oblique imagery, integration with Google Street View and Bing Maps and improved printing capabilities. The property search fi eld now autocompletes after a few char-acters are typed, making searches quicker and easier for users. The site also contains a levy estimator, which shows the fi nancial impact of each upcoming levy specifi c to any parcel selected. The upgraded site is touch-screen friendly to be compatible with mobile de-vices. “We recognize a lot of houses do not have a home computer anymore,” Wood County Auditor Matthew Oestreich said. “Many people use tablets or phones as their main computer.” After researching and weighing op-tions, the county was able to make the up-grade with no additional costs, Oestreich said, adding that there is actually a slight annual cost savings from the previous web hosting company. How-to videos are available on the site for additional information and instruction.

“When you judge others, you do not de-fi ne them, you defi ne yourself.” — Earl Nightingale

There is a tendency to evaluate some-one else’s life through the lens of our own experiences. However, each individual has their own unique perspective on life. Each person has different experiences, dreams, and desires. A judgment is a criticism of another person’s decisions or behavior. We de-ride that person with comments such as, “I can’t believe they did that,” “What were they thinking,” “How could somebody be so stupid,” or “I don’t know what’s wrong with them.” You sit in judgment by fi nding fault with others. It’s impossible to fully understand and appreciate someone who you are judging. Each person is shaped by their perception, reality, and experiences. No two people experience, or react to the same situation identically. When you judge someone, you do yourself a disservice by stifl ing your own growth. Judging others also diminish-es your happiness.

Commissioners sound off on algal bloomsTo the editor: It is July in Lucas County, meaning the harmful algal bloom season is right around the corner. In past years, we have seen the pattern of harmful algae mak-ing its way upstream from Lake Erie into the Maumee River, and especially in the downtown Toledo area. But this year, an unusual change is tak-ing place and it is something that we are concerned about. The combination of low-er than normal water fl ow due to below av-erage rainfall and unseasonably warm tem-peratures has caused a toxic algae bloom from Middlegrounds Metropark to Cullen Park in the Maumee River. This bloom is so bad that the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department is warning people to stay out of the water in that area.

With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, residents are now more than ever enjoying the abundant recreational amenities that the Maumee River has to offer, including canoeing, kayaking, fi shing, and boating. The threat of harmful algal blooms in the river from downtown to Point Place is dis-turbing. This is a time when we should not be warning people to stay out of our river. The toxic algal bloom in the Maumee River underscores the urgency that is desper-ately needed to take aggressive, data driven action on phosphorous reduction. The Board of Lucas County Commissioners commends the governor’s action last year to create the H2Ohio Fund. However, the state must take

it a step further. We strongly encourage the state to utilize the Nutrient Source Inventory (NSI) tool that we created and developed as a resource for farmers, and that they take ad-vantage of the H2Ohio funds in locations that nutrient run-off is the highest. The NSI tool specifi cally identifi es those areas. The commissioners also want to re-emphasize the importance of common sense regulation and the role it should play in target-ing nutrient reduction goals, such as the Total Maximum Daily Load or TMDL the state will be developing for the Western Lake Erie Basin.Tina Skeldon Wozniak, presidentPete GerkenGary Byers

Everyone has fl aws. Personal growth and improvement are lifelong process-es. Each individual is accountable for their own life. Judging others blocks your growth. Everyone is in charge of their ac-tions and results. Taking care of your own life is enough of a responsibility. Don’t waste effort judg-ing someone else. Besides, who are you to sit in judgment of others? When you judge others, nothing positive is accomplished. Sitting in judgment causes everyone to feel bad. No one benefi ts from constant agitation. Other people will be hurt by your judg-ments. You will create hard feelings and resentment. Confl ict will arise or worsen. There may be alienation from those you are judging. You may create rifts which will be hard to repair.

Although there are numerous motiva-tions which cause someone to sit in judg-ment, the result is always the same; some type of negative reaction. It’s so easy to fall into the habit of being judgmental that you aren’t aware of it. In so doing, your relationships become stressed, causing you undue frustration. Accept people for who they are with-out judging them. You don’t have to like or agree with everyone, but each person has the right to live their own way as long as they are not harming or infringing on others. The way other people experience their world is different than how you experience yours. You can’t judge someone based on your perspectives and they can’t judge you based on theirs. Being open to different viewpoints is much more constructive than making judgments. Have empathy for others. The way a situation appears to you may be completely different from how another person is af-fected. For example, a family who has two new cars and a big house may be experi-encing lots of fi nancial pressure due to the amount of their debt. Therefore, judging

that they have endless money to burn is er-roneous. How they spend or don’t spend their money has no impact on your wellbe-ing. It’s their life, not yours. You are most likely to judge others when you are annoyed or angry with them or when there is confl ict. Monitor your thoughts. When you fi nd yourself sitting in judgment, just stop it. You don’t appreci-ate when others judge you, so you should understand exactly how it feels when you judge them. Your time and energy are better spent working on self-improvement. Every person has room for growth. The quality of your life will noticeably improve as you become less judgmental of others. You won’t be wasting effort on someone else’s life. Live and let live has always been great advice.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) and sev-eral senior House lawmakers recently an-nounced a plan to impose price controls and seize patents on any COVID-19 vac-cines and treatments in development. They vowed to strike down any emergency stim-ulus packages excluding such measures. Those efforts aren’t just misguided -- they pose a threat to the health of Ameri-cans. If lawmakers succeed, they would dismantle the innovation ecosystem that has enabled U.S. pharmaceutical fi rms to move with remarkable speed to develop COVID-19 vaccines and treatments. COVID-19 has served as an unprece-dented call-to-action for both the public and private sectors to work together on a variety of urgent, immediate and future needs of the 350 million relying on our leaders. Already, leading scientists are predict-ing as many as 20 vaccines that will be suc-cessfully developed for COVID-19, early and promising evidence that the massive demand has produced an aggressive re-

sponse within bio-industries. High demand and vigorous competition will produce the best possible value amongst the varied pro-viders of the vaccine. Gilead Sciences, a fi rm headquartered in California, has already launched fi ve clinical trials for its antiviral remdesivir, a drug that could help treat infected patients. Moderna, a Massachusetts biotech, set a re-cord by identifying a vaccine candidate for COVID-19 just 42 days after scientists se-quenced the virus’s genetic code. The fi rst clinical trial began in early March. Our dominance in medical innovation isn’t an accident. It’s the direct result of America’s market-driven approach to drug development -- an approach that has is now under attack in Washington.

Rep. Schakowsky’s plan is just the lat-est in a series of price control measures proposed by Congress. Take H.R.3, which passed the House in December. The legisla-tion, if enacted, will allow the government to impose price controls in Medicare. This would obliterate the incentive to invest in new drug research. Companies spend over $2 billion to bring each new drug to market. That pro-cess is so expensive because it’s fraught with failure. Fewer than 12 percent of drugs that make it to clinical trials ever earn ap-proval. The risks are worthwhile provided a successful drug has a chance at earning back its upfront cost. It’s this expectation that makes America’s model so successful. Conversely, when the government arbi-trarily sets prices, the chances of recouping a drug’s R&D investments fall drastically. Funding for new research becomes scarce, and innovation suffers. This is Europe’s story. In the 1970s, four European countries produced more than half of all new drugs. After price-control policies became the norm there,

the contribution of these countries shrank to just a third, with America surging to the head of the pack. Policymakers today premise their propos-als on the idea that drug development is fund-ed by taxpayers and the innovation ecosystem is somehow broken. The COVID-19 pandemic reveals these views to be backwards. Contrast today’s would-be reform-ers with those of just a few decades ago. When I was with the Bush administration, we worked with Democrats to modernize Medicare and make drugs affordable for pa-tients without harming R&D.

Tommy G. Thompson is the former Secre-tary of the Department of Health and Human Services and former Governor of Wisconsin.

Alzheimer’s Assn. presents virtual educational programs

Continued on page 9

The Alzheimer’s Association Northwest Ohio Chapter will be presenting several virtual educational programs to help the community and families impacted by the disease. These presentations cover a variety of topics and occur at different times dur-ing the day via videoconferencing to allow individuals to participate in the conve-nience of their homes. They will discuss safety issues in the home, communication, COVID-19 challenges, long-distance care-giving and information on the disease it-self. The programs run about an hour and are very helpful for anyone experiencing signs of memory loss or their family mem-bers who may be concerned. All programs are free and open to the public. Registration is required. To register, call 800-272-3900. The schedule includes: • July 13 – Activities at Home, 10 a.m. • July 14 – Effective Communication Strategies, 2 p.m. • July 14 – Safety at Home, 4:30 p.m. • July 15 – Simple Communication Tips for Caregivers, 11 a.m. • July 15 – 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s, 1 p.m. • July 16 – Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia, 3:30 p.m. • July 17 – Healthy Living for your Brain and Body: Tips from the Latest Research. 11:30 a.m.

Virtual dementia discussion The Alzheimer’s Association will also present a virtual discussion on dementia with guest Sara Hunter, DNP, APRN-CNP Tuesday July 21 4:30-5:30 p.m. Dr. Hunter completed her Doctorate in Nursing Practice from The Ohio State University College of Nursing in May 2019. She completed her Masters of Science in Nursing through the University of Toledo where her thesis focused on helping care-givers of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease be connected with support and re-sources in the community. Since graduating nursing school, Dr. Hunter has spent her career focused in neu-rology—fi rst for four years in the Toledo Hospital Neurological intensive care unit and the past fi ve years in outpatient neu-rology practicing at ProMedica Physicians Adult Neurology with Dr. Loomus in Levis Commons in Perrysburg.

During the live video conference, Dr. Hunter will discuss memory issues and what to expect in a neurology visit. She will also review self-care for caregivers. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation. “One thing I talk about with families is making a plan for care of their loved one with dementia,” she said. “It is important not to wait to plan when in a crisis situa-tion”. Those interested in attending may submit their questions in advance to Pam Myers, program director at [email protected]. The discussion is free and open to the public. Registration is required. To register, call 800-272-3900. Visit alz.org to learn more about the Alzheimer’s Association.

Mud Hens blood drive To help meet demand for donations and to raise awareness about the need for new donors, the annual Mud Hens Blood Drive will be held Monday, July 13 from 2-7 p.m. The blood drive will be held in the Roost on the third fl oor of 406 Washington St. in downtown Toledo (use the doors right next to the Swamp Shop). Anyone who donates blood will re-ceive 25% off all items in the Swamp Shop on July 13. To schedule an appointment, call 1-800-REDCROSS or visit www.redcross-blood.org and enter the sponsor code: MUDHENS.

New providers Wood County Community Health Center welcomed two new providers, Dr. John Coates, DO, and nurse practitioner Sally Royston. Dr. Coates, who has practiced in the Bowling Green area for almost 20 years,

can be seen at the health center for primary care and chronic disease management. He is currently taking new patients for in-per-son visits and telehealth appointments. Royston joined the health center in June 2019. She was a registered nurse for more than 30 years and has been a nurse practitioner for over 10 years. She sees patients for primary care and chronic dis-ease management. She is also part of the Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) team that helps patients with addictions in-cluding smoking, alcohol and other drugs. She is currently taking new patients as well for in-person visits and telehealth appoint-ments. Dr. Steven Dood, who has been with the health center since 2015, is no longer providing direct patient care but remains the Chief Medical Offi cer, providing over-sight on medical functions. To schedule an appointment call 419-354-9049. To learn more about Wood County Community Health Center and the services it provides, visit WCHealthcenter.org or their Facebook page.

United Way announcescommunity investments United Way of Greater Toledo (UWGT) recently announced that $8,272,323 would be invested in community-based programs after concluding its 2019-2020 annual cam-paign, which supports their primary focus areas of education, fi nancial stability and health. “Every year, to start at zero and fun-draise your way to $8 million is quite the undertaking, which is why I am so proud of my team here at United Way,” said Wendy Pestrue, president & CEO of UWGT. “Working in the health and human services sector is a round-the-clock job. Our staff’s commitment to ensuring that everyone across Lucas, Wood and Ottawa County has access to the services they need is incred-ibly admirable.” Historically, UWGT has conducted a yearly fundraising campaign, which gar-ners support from hundreds of local com-panies and thousands of private donors. The organization also leverages grants from both private foundations and public agen-cies.

“I often remind our staff that the gifts we’re receiving from donors are relatively small compared to some nonprofi ts. Many of our dollars come from working folks, and that, to me, speaks volumes,” said Pestrue. “Individuals who are striving to make ends meet themselves are choosing to give us a few dollars out of their paychecks, because I believe they can see the impact of the pro-grams we provide, or fund, in their neigh-borhoods.” UWGT has also expressed that the COVID-19 pandemic has fi nancially strained the organization, as community needs considerably grow. Since March, roughly $800,000 has been raised for the or-ganization’s “Emergency Response Fund,” which provides monetary grants to support health and human service organizations struggling to provide resources to locals in need due to COVID-19. Already, nearly $230,000 has been in-vested in those working in the food-inse-curity space, and a new focus area to fund is anticipated to be announced soon. These “Emergency Response Fund” grants are in addition to the millions of dollars UWGT provided in community investments after last year’s campaign. “We understand that this may be a fi -nancially tough time for individuals and families, so we are beyond thankful for whatever you can contribute to this year’s campaign. The pre-existing issues of our community have not gone away, which is why now, more than ever, donations to United Way are urgently needed,” said Pestrue. For a full list of UWGT program investments, visit www.unitedwaytoledo.org.

Continued from page 8

As both a crime prevention offi cer and a community policing offi cer for Lake Township Police Department, the two roles are sometimes distinctly different, and sometimes they meld together for the common purpose of assisting our township’s residents. While I am continuing to make phone calls to more than 130 township residents – a project that began in March as part of the coronavirus outbreak – my focus has changed a bit. I still ask if the residents have enough groceries and supplies, but now I make certain they are able to stay cool during the extremely hot and humid weather. The residents I have talked to tell me they are mostly staying inside, especially during the afternoon and early evening hours. Good idea! Senior citizens are more susceptible to heat-related health conditions. I know this fi rst-hand as I was a paramedic for 40 years and dealt with many such emergencies. Breathing disorders, such as asthma, congestive heart failure (CHF), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affect many senior citizens. During times of extremely high temperatures and humidity, these health conditions can fl are up. Two other health issues that can arise during a heat wave include heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat exhaustion can result in profuse sweating, clammy skin, nausea, muscle cramps and extreme thirst. Heat stroke symptoms include lack of sweating, extremely high body temperature, confusion, and seizures. While both conditions can be serious, heat stroke is a true medical emergency and requires the immediate summoning of emergency medical services personnel. The old saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is very well placed while speaking of heat maladies. It is much easier to prevent a heat-related health issue than to deal with a medical emergency situation. If you are a senior who is responsible

for mowing a yard, try to get a youngster to do it. Grandkids should be the fi rst ones to consider for this chore, but hiring a teen is another good option to consider. Younger peoples’ bodies are built to better withstand the heat while performing such work. Other outdoor activities, such as gardening chores and watering plants and fl owers, are best done early in the morning when it’s coolest. The same goes for walking and other exercise activities. Keep hydrated by drinking plenty of fl uids such as ice water or drinks designed to balance nutrients and fl uids. Avoid alcoholic beverages, putting this off until later in the day when you are staying inside. If your air conditioner goes on the fritz,

don’t delay calling someone to get it fi xed. During heat waves, repair technicians get backed up quickly, so the quicker you call, the quicker someone can get to you. In the meantime, fi nd a place to stay where you can keep cool. True friends help each other out during times of trouble, so if you know of someone in a situation in which they cannot keep cool, offer to help by making room for them in your home. You will feel good about it. Let’s not forget about our four-legged friends during a heat wave. Let them stay inside, allowing them out for short periods to “do their business,” and keep them furnished with cool water to drink. Not taking proper care of a pet is a crime that can lead to charges being fi led. This article is a public service from the Crime Prevention Division of the Lake Township Police Department. Township residents may obtain further information on crime prevention and public safety topics by contacting Ron Craig, crime prevention specialist/community policing offi cer, at 419-481-6354.

by Ron Craigwho lost 53.8 pounds, is the Ohio King. TOPS offers an individual approach to weight loss and overall wellness. Consistent group support, health education, and rec-ognition are all key components to success-ful weight management. “With the support of TOPS, this year’s royalty, and countless others before them, have shown that personal transformation is possible through small, sustainable life-style changes,” said TOPS President Rick Danforth. “As someone who has main-tained a 100-pound weight loss for 15 years, I know fi rsthand the dedication these folks have shown.” Weekly meetings are the heart of TOPS support, whether they are held online or in-person. Visitors are welcome to attend their fi rst TOPS meeting free of charge, and are encouraged to try more than one chapter, since they’re all a little different, Danforth said. Membership is a $32 per year in the U.S., and there are nominal chapter fees. Locally, TOPS chapters are scheduled to meet at the East Toledo Senior Center Mondays at 7 p.m.; at Hope Lutheran Church in Bowling Green on Wednesdays at 5:15 p.m.; at the Oak Harbor Public Library Mondays at 3:30 p.m. and at Fremont Alliance Church Mondays at 6 p.m. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some chapters may not be meeting now.

Veterans Parkfi tness trail The Oak Harbor Development Group (OHDG) is partnering with the Village of Oak Harbor and The Ohio Department of Natural Resources NatureWorks Grant to provide support and funding for the Fitness Trail throughout the Veterans Park. The Development Group has com-mitted to the grant match funding of up to $48,000. According to Village Administrator Randy Genzman, “The proj-ect is intended to go forward at this point. The current timeline is design and bidding to be completed in July. Construction in late third quarter/early fourth quarter of 2020, with substantial completion in early December.” To date the OHDG has received funds from the following organizations and indi-viduals. • St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church Endowment Trust Fund – $8,537. • The US Bank Foundation Community Possible Grant - $1,500. • Donations via Facebook’s Giving Tuesday/General Donations- $2,175. The Oak Harbor Development Group is still seeking funds to help offset the $48,000 grant match. To contribute, call Mike Shadoan at 419-706-6034.

Accelerated BSNprogram offered In an ongoing effort to meet the de-mand for nurses and the changing needs of individuals who want to pursue a career in healthcare, Mercy College will offer an Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) for those who have a bachelor’s degree or higher in a degree fi eld other than nursing. This new program will be-gin in May 2021 and applications for the 15-month program are now being accepted. Space is limited, and prerequisite course-work may be required. “We are pleased to add this option for those who want to pursue a career in nurs-ing. Mercy College has a high number of transfer students, some of whom already have degrees in other fi elds. This program provides them a faster path to become a nurse,” said Elizabeth Sprunk, PhD, MSN, RN, Professor and Dean of Nursing. Those not interested in the accelerated path can choose from a day or evening/weekend associate degree program or a bachelor’s degree program. Those who have an RN license can continue their education in RN-BSN and RN to MSN programs and for those who have a BSN, Mercy College offers a Master of Science in Nursing. New or transfer students interested in nursing careers or other healthcare fi elds may visit www.mercycollege.edu or con-tact Admissions at [email protected] or 1-888-80-MERCY.

Bob’s Home Service Heating & Air ConditioningBob’s Home Service Heating & Air Conditioning has been

family owned and operated since its opening in 1975.Founded by Bob Hays, the full service heating and air

conditioning company looks out for its community, making sure each job is done right. Along with his wife, Oralane, Hays ran Bob’s Home Service until retirement in 2009. Now run by Hays’ daughters, Sherry Jones and Jaci Hays, customers still remain the priority.

“We will always do the right thing when no one is looking,” says Jones. “We are not looking for a one-time deal, we are looking to make a lifelong client.”

This philosophy goes beyond the family, having been adopted by Bob’s Home Service technicians as well. Kindness and honesty are important components of the company’s dynamic, which Bob Hays established.

“I purchased the business so my parents could retire and have nancial freedom, and the pleasure to come and go without any worries.” Jones states.

Despite being retired, both Bob and Oralane Hays continue to be involved with the company. To date, Oralane still does all of the bookkeeping by hand.

Sandusky County Public Health is urg-ing residents to wear facial coverings in certain settings to help curb the spread of COVID-19. “We strongly recommend residents wear a face covering when they are inter-acting with others who are not members of their household in public and private spac-es,” says Health Commissioner Bethany Brown. This includes the following areas: • Inside public spaces or waiting in line to enter public spaces, such as stores or pharmacies; • Picking up food from a drive-thru or curbside pickup; • Visiting health care providers; • In common areas of buildings, such as hallways, stairways and elevators; • Working in any space where food is being prepared and/or packaged for sale. Brown is strongly recommending re-tail and grocery stores continue to have employees wear cloth face coverings and encourage customers to wear masks or face coverings too. Employers retain the right to refuse admission or service to any cus-tomer or visitor who refuses to wear a facial covering and are encouraged to post signs at entrances to remind customers of the re-quirement to wear face covering. “COVID-19 is spreading throughout the community and everyone needs to do their part to help prevent its spread,” Brown said. “We must continue to protect the high-risk individuals who are most vul-nerable to this highly contagious virus – the elderly, immunocompromised and chroni-cally ill. We are responsible for protecting our families, friends, and neighbors.” As of July 8, 2020, there have been 138 coronavirus cases, and 40 hospitaliza-tions and 14 deaths related to COVID-19 in Sandusky County.

“Many people continue to go about their business and not know they have the virus, since many may have only mild or slight symptoms. It is our most vulnerable population that is being most affected; our continued goal is to protect those friends and family members,” Brown said. “Wearing a cloth face covering is done to protect those around you if you are in-fected, but do not yet show symptoms of COVID-19,” she said. “When you wear a cloth face covering, make sure you can eas-ily breathe through it, that it covers your nose and mouth, and wash it after each use.” “These are diffi cult times for all, and we want to encourage families to spend time outdoors such as walking, hiking, run-ning, or bicycling. None of us want to be locked indoors all summer.” says Brown. “And while facial coverings are not re-quired during physical activities, we do ask individuals to carry one with them and to practice physical distancing when on side-walks and the bike trail.” She also reminded area families that, as they engage in summer activities, to contin-ue to do their part to keep the community healthy with continued social distancing and handwashing, as well as wearing face coverings. Sandusky County Public Health is re-minding everyone that cloth face coverings are not a substitute for social distancing and should not encourage a false sense of security. Social distancing, staying at least 6 feet away, is still needed. Face coverings are effective only when used in combination with frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water. “We all need to assume that every person you en-counter is potentially spreading this virus,” Brown said.

For the ninth year, the Wood County Health Department announced the winners of the 2020 Clean Plate Awards. This year, Health Commissioner Ben Batey presented the award in a vid-eo shown on the Health Department’s social media pages. It is available on Facebook and Twitter, and at https://youtu.be/3iZjoUoC38E.

Clay graduate Jasmine Stringham is the school’s fi rst lacrosse player, boys or girls, to go to the next level.

That’s not bad, considering the fi rst year for both varsity lacrosse teams was 2017-18.

Stringham was all set entering her senior year to play for Urbana University, located between Dayton and Columbus, but that came to an end after Urbana per-manently closed its doors last spring. She and Clay coach Jason Allen reached out to other schools, and she ended up signing at Madonna University in Livonia, Michigan.

“I felt bad for her,” Allen said. “After that happened, she reached out to me and texted me, and said, ‘I need some help. I want to play at the next level and Urbana just announced they are closing their doors. So, I just started making some phone calls to some NAIA coaches that I was friends with, and Dan Teskey at Madonna — he re-ally wanted her.”

Getting Madonna to believe Stringham was the player for them was not a hard sell, says Allen.

“Basically, since I was (coaching) at Indiana Tech for three and a half years and we whooped up on them pretty bad, and he knew I could spot talent,” Allen said.

“They all did — Madonna, Siena Heights and Asbury were the three that called and they all knew what I was looking for, and they all said, ‘Well, if you say she can start for me, then this is a good player.’ I said, ‘It’s a diamond in the rough. You’re not going to fi nd something like this.’ So, basically, he (Teskey) didn’t ask for stats. He didn’t ask for anything. I basically told him she’s a midfi elder who can do draws, she’s fast, she’s quick, she did track for a while, and she knows what she’s doing.”

Stringham had no senior season be-cause of the coronavirus pandemic, but as a junior she had 46 goals, four assists, 88 ground balls and caused 18 turnovers.

“I think it is her determination and she has good speed, and I think she’s very coachable,” Allen said. “She’s open to lis-

ten. Some players, when they are that old, they say, ‘Whatever,’ and they roll their eyes, but she doesn’t do stuff like that. She’s a great kid. She was a junior captain for me, and she deserves every bit of it.”

Focusing on lacrosseStringham played tennis and ran track

for Clay, but didn’t start playing lacrosse until her sophomore year. Once she did, she fell in love with the sport. Eventually, lacrosse became her primary sport.

“When they started the program, it just seemed really interesting,” Stringham said. “My friends and I decided we were going to go out and play, and then all of my friends backed out and I showed up to the fi rst practice and I really liked it. I like how competitive it is, and how much teamwork you need to be able to do it because it really lets you get closer to a lot of players.”

She not only played for Clay, she played travel lacrosse and attended skills camps. It was at a summer camp after her junior year that the Urbana coach noticed her and asked her to play there.

Plus, winning draws, which corre-spond to face-offs in hockey, are a special skill for any lacrosse player. A draw starts the game, each quarter, and is played out after each goal. If you can win every draw, your team can stay on offense the entire time.

“It starts off the game — starts off all of it, drawing, and it’s a lot of running and you pretty much are involved the whole game.

You never get bored,” Stringham said.Stringham, who will major in business

marketing, says Madonna became a “good fi t” for her, calling it “a really good atmo-sphere to go into.” She is in communica-tion with coach Teskey and the players.

“I am conditioning. I haven’t really gotten a set schedule for when we start anything, so I’ve been running on my own and going to the gym. I’ve been looking for a couple (summer lacrosse teams), but I’ve aged out of them,” Stringham said.

Stringham said she might not be play-ing college soccer if it weren’t for Allen.

“He brought me around,” Stringham said. “For my fi rst year I had a different coach, and she taught me how to throw, how to catch — the beginnings, and then coach Allen came around and he taught me how to play — the mindset for the game, how to work the fi eld, work with the girls and be able to take it to the next step. I think he really helped me move on from that beginner to the actual player.”

Although Stringham is the fi rst Clay lacrosse player to move on, Allen says the opportunity is there for others.

“I always tell the girls this, and they don’t always understand this, is that there are so many lacrosse programs in the United States and there are not enough players, and the girls don’t understand what I am saying,” Allen said. “I tell them, ‘Every one of you could play in college somewhere, whether it’s D-III, a junior college, NAIA — something.’”

Meanwhile, the Clay program took a hit without a spring season, but Allen is al-ready in the process of recharging the pro-gram and building a feeder system.

“We’ve taken steps to get better each year, even though the fi rst year I wasn’t there,” Allen said. “I was brought in to ba-sically grown the program and get numbers — make it bigger because the fi rst year they had 19 or 20.

“The second year, my fi rst year, we had 19 and this last year we were going to have 22. So, two of the girls who graduated this year are staying around and going to the University of Toledo and they want to help get the junior high program going, so we are going to try and do that.”Jasmine Stringham

Genoa track to host summer meet Thursday

For high school seniors who just graduated but lost their track and fi eld season to the coronavirus pandemic, all is not lost. The Genoa track program is hosting a fi eld meet this Thursday, July 16 for all high school athletes graduating in the years 2020-2024.

Called “Genoa Summer Fest 2020,” schools already committed are Whitmer, Eastwood, Otsego and Elmwood, says Genoa track coach Luke Hodulik. He adds that registra-tion remains open to others.

“Essentially how this came togeth-er is the OHSAA lifted the restrictions for competition for non-contact sports at the end of May, so baseball and soft-ball have almost had something resem-bling a season. Not as many games, but I kept going out there when we had our practice sessions this summer and kept seeing the baseball and softball games going on,” Hodulik said.

“Then I was getting kids asking me about how come softball and baseball get to play and we don’t, so I decided to put something together. The class of 2020 is eligible.”

Events include the shot put, dis-cus, long jump, high jump, pole vault and triple jump, which is now allowed in OHSAA events.

“They do triple jump at all the in-door meets over the winter, and the more I did it with kids, the kids love it. So, we started putting it in at our home meets and there are some other meets around that do it, like the Lakota Invitational,” Hodulik said. “The big thing about the meet is it’s something I want to do so that the kids who wanted it have a chance to do something this year.”

Hodulik says sanitation will be provided and “other distancing restric-tions for families” will be employed.

To register, the meet is posted at DirectAthletics.com until 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14. Hodulik can be reached at 419-266-1027.

Lake senior outside hitter Kortney Ellison delivers a kill. (Press fi le photo by Russ Lytle/Facebook.com/RussLytle/RHP)

Two local athletes, Moises Guillen and Kortney Ellison, will continue their athlet-ic careers at Lourdes University in the fall.

Ellison is from Millbury, where she was a four-year letter winner playing vol-leyball at Lake High School. A fi rst team all-district selection for the Flyers as a se-nior, she also earned fi rst team All-Northern Buckeye Conference honors after garnering second team All-NBC accolades as a junior. Ellison was also named her team’s Most Valuable Player in 2019.

“We are very excited to add Kortney to the team,” Lourdes coach Greg Reitz stated. “She will give us depth in the pin hitting positions as well as defense. We look for-ward to having in our gym to start training.” At Lake her senior year, Ellison earned the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Co-Player of the Year award. Ellison averaged a team-leading 10.2 kills, had 10.2 digs (second on the team) and 1.8 service aces per match. “Kortney was a captain for us this year and a big reason why we went 20-5,” Lake coach Amy Vorst said. “She was a six rotation player that serve received well, played defense, and was one of our stron-gest hitters. She led us in kills in almost ev-ery match of the year.”

Lourdes wrestling coach Dock Kelly III announced that Guillen will transfer to Lourdes in the fall to continue his wres-tling career with the Gray Wolves. Guillen grew up wrestling and learning the sport at the East Toledo Wrestling Club.

The East Toledo native arrives at Lourdes after spending three seasons at Ohio University. He redshirted during the 2017-18 season, where he competed in open events posting a 9-4 record, mainly at 149 pounds. As a redshirt freshman in 2018-19, Guillen wrestled at 141 pounds for the Bobcats, recording a 5-4 mark before going 1-3 last season in a pair of events.

“Moises is an elite wrestler who will

Guillen, Ellison to become Gray Wolvesinstantly become a contender to win a na-tional title,” Kelly stated. “He is an incred-ibly hard worker, and his technique level is off the charts. Moises is a rare talent, and we anticipate his work ethic to carry over and raise the intensity of our entire room!”

A product of Perrysburg High School, Guillen was a member of the Yellow Jackets’ 2014 state runner-up team. He won a state championship and was a two-time state fi nalist in addition to a four-time state placer. Guillen is the winningest wrestler in the school’s history, fi nishing with a 174-22 prep record.

Upon arriving at Lourdes, Guillen plans to major in marketing. He should have two seasons of eligibility remaining with the Gray Wolves. While a biddy wrestler at the ETWC, the program got so much attention that in 2005, ESPN did a 50-minute segment about it which can still be viewed on U-Tube. They focused on East Toledo youth wres-tlers Mario and Moises Guillen, whose fa-ther was serving time in prison. Mario also won a state championship wrestling for Perrysburg. “The Guillens are tough. They came through some stuff,” ETWC co-founder Hector Ramirez said. “They highlighted Mario because his father was doing time and the mother and the uncle were very instrumental in keeping him in wrestling, traveling with him, and that’s the reason why they got really good.” In addition, Lourdes had 12 wrestlers recognized for their academic achieve-ments over the past season, as the Sooner Athletic Conference announced its 2019-2020 Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Among the 12 are Oregon natives Garret Anderson (Clay) and Nick Henneman (Clay). (— by Ryan Wronkocwicz/Lourdes Sports Information and J. Patrick Eaken/Press Sports Editor)

Get your smile ready for summer!

By J. Patrick EakenPress Sports [email protected]

There was never any doubt that Genoa graduate Dillon Sims would play collegiate soccer — it was just a matter of where.

Sims is heading to Angola, Indiana to play NCAA Division III soccer at Trine University. It wasn’t entirely about soccer, however.

“It was a combination of going to a school that was close enough but still held the degree type program that he was look-ing for. He wanted to be in engineering and Trine is a pretty solid engineering school and that set him up,” said Genoa coach Tim Memmer.

Sims added, “Honestly, it was the soc-cer team being a very quality soccer team and their engineering program. I’m looking to go into mechanical engineering — that is what I always enjoyed. I like physics and those are my favorite classes. They gave me an opportunity to do both of those.”

The Northern Buckeye Conference Player of the Year and Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Co-Player of the Year, Sims led Genoa his senior year with 57 points on 20 goals and 17 assists. He was a fi rst team All-NBC and all-district selection.

“He has been in the top two of our team all four years during his career,” Memmer said. “Even leading in assists, he creates more goals for teammates without touching the ball. His movement off the ball attracts attention to clear out space.”

Memmer, who says his Genoa pro-gram will remain in solid shape this fall, says Sims was more than his star senior. Memmer demonstrated talents that helped his team on the fi eld and on the sidelines.

“I could describe him as if he was one of our assistant coaches last year. That was what he meant to the rest of the guys on the fi eld. He was always helping everyone to understand. He knew what I wanted to have done and he really worked that part of it. Pretty much anything, he set the pace for everybody.

“Dillon’s value to our team goes be-yond stats. I had a very young team with 11

of our 17 players being freshmen and soph-omores,” Memmer continued. “He was a tremendous mentor helping these young-sters get ready over the offseason, keeping them focused through the season, and tak-ing great pride in their success. Dillon was a great assistant coach.”

Memmer said four years of growth helped Sims get to that point.

“You can look at it really two differ-ent ways — what he was talent-wise and what he was on the fi eld, in practice, and

everything else. From his freshman year on he has always shown to have the talent to play,” Memmer said.

“The growth that happened with him each year in his leadership style and ma-turity-wise was absolutely tremendous. It is one of the traits you don’t normally see with a dominant player like that is his pa-tience with the rest of the team.”

Sims appreciates Memmer’s comments and his mentorship.

“Honestly, it’s one of the biggest com-

pliments I’ve ever gotten. I like to have that to humble myself and I like being a team player and like seeing other people succeed as much as I do. I just love helping people out,” Sims said.

“He’s (Memmer) been a big infl uence on me, from summer practices all the way through when I played club for him in the spring, he’s always pushing me, making a greater player, team captain, giving me a lot of pointers and helping me with college coaches. He’s been everything to help me. He’s been a very big part of my career.”

Like most soccer players who move on to the collegiate level, Sims started playing the game at a young age and never stopped liking it.

“I like the fl uidity of it and being in intense play constantly. I just love scoring goals and having the whole team around me,” Sims said.

Sims says he has had Zoom calls with his Trine teammates, is following a daily workout plan sent to him by Trine coaches and hopes to “keep that energy going with (his new) teammates.”

In last year’s fi nal Northwest District Division III coaches’ poll. Genoa, at 10-5-3, was ranked 10th. Memmer says Sims was a big reason why.

“He was defi nitely a big part of it. His leadership on the fi eld would be something for the others to aspire to,” Memmer said.

Last year, Genoa fi nished one point be-hind Rossford in the NBC standings. The Comets and Bulldogs tied 2-2 in their fi rst matchup and Genoa won the rematch, 5-4, but the Comets’ 5-4 loss to Eastwood and a 6-6 tie with the Eagles proved to be costly.

Genoa fi nished strong, winning fi ve straight games to close the regular season. Wins were over Woodmore (4-0), Rossford (5-4), Lake (4-3), Bowling Green (4-3) and Otsego (8-0). The Comets opened the tour-nament winning a sixth straight, 9-1, over Otsego but lost in the district tournament to defending state champ Archbold (5-0).

Sims is just one of three seniors who graduated, so he believes Genoa could have a solid year in 2020, also.

“I’m excited to see how Genoa does this year. They should have a really good season,” Sims said.

I M Wnspirational essage of the eek: Being Who You Are

Part of the difficulty of authenticity, of being who we

truly are, is that we are free to be whoever we want to

be. There are of course limits to human freedom, but

within those limits we are free to act honestly or

dishonestly, to act with integrity or not, depending on

the circumstances. Perhaps the reason why the sting

of conscience can be so painful is that when we did

the thing that we now regret, we know that we could

have done otherwise. When we make a conscious

decision to lie, or steal, or otherwise act contrary to

the dictates of conscience, we are bound to regret it

later. It’s also difficult to be who we truly are because

we are all in the process of becoming who we shall

be. The act of becoming is perhaps the essential

project at the core of humanity. It is the life project that

every human being must work out, on their own, with

fear and trembling, but also with quiet reflection. Who

are you, really, and who are you becoming?

Answering these questions requires being honest

with oneself, and involves reflecting not only on

issues of character, but also on our relationships with

others, and our careers, and even our likes and

dislikes. “The Lord does not look at the things people

look at. People look at the outward appearance, but

the Lord looks at the heart.” —1 Samuel 16:7 NIV

We are in awe of the strength of our patients, their families and our employees. We are beyond humbled by the response of the community that supports us.

From the individuals who sewed masks to the manufacturers who donated protective equipment, we thank you. To the restaurants who fed our caregivers to those who sent notes to raise our spirits, we thank you. Your words, your actions, your support are what got us through this crisis.

We hope that all in the community feel our appreciation and the sincere spirit of our gratitude.

At ProMedica, we are here for you. Thank you for being there for us, too.
